To say “The Americans” has been a critical darling since its inception would be an understatement. The adoration that’s flowed, from those writing about the FX drama to those making it, has been so unrelenting there are parody articles devoted entirely to the subsect of TV culture.
So when the penultimate entry in the now Emmy-nominated series began to receive some critical backlash, it felt like the world had gone topsy-turvy. Or, to steal a fateful joke from the latest season of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”:
But showrunners Joel Fields and Joe Wesiberg are taking it all in stride.
“You gotta take your lumps,” Weisberg said during a recent conference call. “We said at the end of last season that this season was going to be slower than usual, but we were thinking about 15 percent slower than usual, and some of the critics and fans seem to be thinking it’s closer to 80 percent slower. That wasn’t quite our intention.”

Fields remembered getting a phone call from FX Networks President John Landgraf mid-way through the season. “He said, ‘Rather than story propulsion, you found emotional propulsion — emotional velocity.'”
“This season we were trying to take the gas pedal off some of the spy missions and focus more on some of the relationship dynamics and family stories,” Weisberg said. “We’re hoping that when it’s seen in the context of the overall show, once the series is over, that people might feel differently, since we know where it’s all going. But maybe they won’t.”
The showrunning duo also said fans can expect changes for the final 10 episodes, though they laughed off the idea their show would ever “accelerate.”
“What we can promise is that the pace should feel different next season because we want every season to feel different,” Fields said. “That’s something we set out to do at the beginning of each [season] during our creative processes.”
“It will definitely have a different feeling and pace than this past season and hopefully all the other seasons, as well,” he said.
Fields said they’re “in the process of refining” the final 10 episodes, but they’ve all already been written and the actual ending hemmed close to what they’d always planned.
“To our surprise, it’s very similar to what we set out to do,” Fields said. “It’s really just been different iterations of the same ending.”
Meanwhile, in Season 5, the finale showed Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell) making a difficult decision. The two effectively ended their professional partnership (or, at least, put it on pause), with Elizabeth recommending Philip take a step back from work for a while so he could get himself back to a healthy emotional state.

For as surprising — and dangerous — as this decision was, it was emotionally grounded in an event from a few episodes prior. The two cemented their romantic bond when Philip arranged an authentic Russian wedding for the American-wed couple, and the showrunners said they mainly came up with that idea after they’d determined the finale’s conclusion.
“We had a rough sketch of the ending, and then [the wedding] dropped in place from there,” Fields said.
“We knew that we had the ending and we needed to work toward that in a number of different ways,” Weisberg said.
One such way was built into the storyline that found Philip and Elizabeth considering to leave America and return to Russia, a drastic choice they actually began to execute. Many viewers doubted they would be able to pull it off without permanently damaging their family (the parents did not plan to tell the children), so much so that there was speculation as to whether Philip and Elizabeth truly believed they could go through with it.
Fields said that was a question they wrestled with during every scene. They would ask themselves, “What is the story [Philip and Elizabeth are] overtly telling themselves, and how much are they deluding themselves into believing?”
“We tried to have as many layers in there as possible, and if you look at those scenes and we were successful, you’ll be able to see many of those dynamics at play.”
“I think they both want to go home,” Weisberg said. “I think they both want that.”
We’ll find out if they can make it happen next year, when the final season of “The Americans” debuts. How fast or slow it happens is up to them.

We’re pleased to have recently supplied two of our 110SZ multi oil warm air heaters with KG/UB universal oil burners to SSE in the New Forest. These units have been ducted into the workshops and have made a significant difference both efficiently and economically. The customer will now soon see a big reduction in their heating bill.
Multi Oil Boiler at Garmelow Manor – Stafford
We’re pleased to have supplied Tomkinson Heating of Macclesfield a multi oil boiler system, which was successfully installed at Garmelow Manor in Staffordshire.
Multi Oil Technology In Action
The Swabian Garden in the Stuttgarter street 80 in Leinfelden-Echterdingen (near Stuttgart) is the centre of attraction for festive cosiness.
Here, a mobile warm air heater type M50 is used, on which a multi-fuel burner type KG/UB50 has been installed. The Swabian Garden Team filters their used deep-fry oil and burns it with the above mentioned KROLL devices. During the winter, they burn 300 litres of used deep-fry oil and heat their blockhouse.
If we calculate 6 months as heating period, which means 24 weeks per 300 litres, the Swabian Garden burns 7200 litres of used deep-fry oil per year and thus saves 7200 litres of heating oil. With a heating oil price of €0.50, this means an annual cost saving of €3,600.

Emergency field landing near Newtownards for engine failure microlight
A pilot had to make an emergency landing in a field in County Down after the microlight he was flying had an engine failure.
The aircraft took off from Newtownards air field at 12:00 BST on Friday.
A sudden engine malfunction meant it would not climb so the pilot brought it down safely in a nearby field close to the Moate Road, between Newtownards and Comber.
Police said the pilot and his passenger were "safe and well".
Some damage was caused to the microlight's front wheel during the landing.
Emergency services were called to the scene and police said an air accident investigation team is due to begin an inquiry.
The owner of the microlight, who is a flight instructor but was not flying the aircraft, said a large part of small plane training focuses on pilots being able to make safe landings away from airfields.

RULE BOOK FOR THE ORIGINAL SIX HOCKEY LEAGUE (OSHL)
PART ONE: INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the OSHL. The OSHL is a small 6 team league with franchises located in the 6 pre-expansion NHL locations: Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Montreal, New York and Toronto. All actions will be done on the internet. Correspondence will be via e-mail. There is also a website. The address is www.hockeyhoarker.com/oshl†
PART TWO: FRANCHISES AND ROSTERS
Initial Rosters and first draft
The initial rosters for each team will be 20 players from the NHL counterpart, as of the end of the 1966-67 season who played in the 1967-68 season, regardless of what NHL team they played for in 67-68. The remaining players from 1967-68 will make up the initial draft pool before the start of the 1st OSHL season. The 1st round will be for territorial picks (see below, section 3 for explanation). The initial draft will consist of 10 rounds. The draft order for the 1st season will be in reverse order of the standings for the 1966-67 season: 1) Boston 2) Detroit 3) New York 4) Toronto 5) Montreal 6) Chicago.
Players used and disks
The disks used for the GOAL league will be used, with the exception of the Russian players found on those disks. After every season, the ratings and players from the next NHL season will be used. Any NHL players who move on to the WHA (from 1972-79) will have their WHA stats and ratings used. All WHA players not owned by OSHL teams but who played in the NHL prior to the 1972-73 season will be available in the 1972-73 draft for one time only. After that, all un-owned WHA players cannot be drafted. Any players kept on an OSHL roster that was drafted prior to the 1972-73 season will have their WHA card used. Any players that make their pro debut in the WHA will not be used until they begin play in the NHL† (example: Gretzkyís first year will be NHL 1979-80 not 1978-79 WHA, Bobby Hullís WHA years will be used). If a disk for a WHA season canít be found, the commish will make up the cardís for those WHA years missing.
Starting with season 8 the OSHL will go back to the 1926-27. Each team will get 12 players from the 1926-27 teams (11 skaters, 1 goalie). There will then be a draft of the players from the other 4 teams from that NHL season.
Teams can have up 30 players on their roster. Teams must cut down to 30 players after each free agent draft. If a player didnít make the season disk, a team can protect the player which counts toward the 30 player maximum. Starting with the 1926-27 season roster size will vary, according to the season and NHL rule at the time. This will affect the amount of players that can be dressed at a time. The max # of players will remain at 30.
PART THREE: DRAFTING
Free Agent Draft
Before the start of every season a 5 round waiver draft will take place (with the exception of the first season). Beginning with the 1926-27 season the length of the draft will be determined by the amount of available players. Players available include any players from the next season disk not already owned.† Due to small amount of goalies available in the pre-expansion NHL a goalie canít be drafted unless there are enough available goalie games played on all rosters or are available to be drafted after that selection, unless the team drafting cuts a goalie immediately, who then becomes available to be drafted, as long as there are still enough goalies games available to draft. A team may elect to trade a goalie to another team in order to draft a goalie as long as there are still enough available goalie games. After the draft, teams must cut down to 30 players (or less). The first round will be the territorial protection round. Each team selects one available player who played for the same franchise as the OSHL franchise. If a NHL player played for more than one team in one year, the team the player finished the regular season with will be considered the team they played for. This round will be considered the 1st round of the draft as far as trades are considered. If that pick is traded, the team in possession of the pick after the trade can pick a player from either their franchise, or the franchise that traded the pick away (example, if Toronto trades their 1st round pick to Montreal, Montreal has the option of picking a Toronto or Montreal NHL player). As we approach the years of the 6 team NHL there will be seasons where a team may have no territorial players to pick. When this occurs the team will get 2 picks in a row in the 2nd round.
Draft is 5 rounds and will take place by e-mail. Draft order will go in reverse order of the final regular season, with the Stanley Cup winner picking last. The draft order will remain the same for every round, pending trades. The 1926-27 draft order will be determined by the actual NHL standings for that year.
PART FOUR: PLAYER MOVEMENT
Trades between teams can take place at any time during the calendar year except between the trade deadline (approx. ĺ into the season) and the end of the playoffs.
Trades can involve any number of players and/or free agent draft picks. Only draft picks for the next draft can be traded. The only time draft picks for 2 drafts may be traded is during a draft, and then picks for that draft and the next may be traded. All trades must be confirmed by both sides to me by e-mail. If a trade is obviously one-sided, it can be nullified by me. If anybody has a complaint about a trade, they have 1 week to lodge a complaint with me and a decision will be made quickly. If one side of the trade hasnít confirmed a trade with me within a week, it will be nullified. I will attempt to contact such person first before nullifying a trade. If, as a result of a trade, a team goes over 30 players, they must cut a player (s) immediately.
Please respond to trade offers. It is common courtesy to respond to all trade offers, even if it is to say ďno thanksĒ. If you will be away, or unavailable to respond to e-mails for a while please let me know or post it on the Yahoo group.
PART FIVE: SCHEDULE
Regular Season & games played limits
The league will have 6 teams. There will 1 division and there will be a 80 game schedule. Games will be played one day per week, with each team playing 10 games at a time. Injuries will be turned off for the regular season.
Players will have a maximum number of games that they can play in the regular season based on how many games they played in the NHL season and the length of the NHL season. The maximum (for skaters & goalies) will be the amount of NHL games played, rounded up to the next 10 game plateau. Example: if a player played 67 games, their maximum # of games played in the OSHL regular season will be 70. 42 games- will be 50, 55 will be 60 etc. The OSHL season will be the same length of the NHL season, rounded up to the next 10 game plateau (e.g. 44 game schedule will be 50 games in the OSHL, etc). One player profile will be sent to the commish for each batch of weekly games. It is up to the team owner to ensure players do not pass their maximum allowed games, although players who reach their maximum will be listed as injured for the rest of the regular season.††††
There will be a set number of dressed players per game, based on the actual NHL rules of the day. Teams must dress the exact amount of players for each game based on the following NHL seasons:
1926-27 to 1928-29 (inclusive): 11 skaters plus 1 goalie
1929-30 to 1950-51 (inclusive): 14 skaters plus 1 goalie
1951-52 to 1952-53 (inclusive): 15 skaters plus goalie (s)
1953-54 :††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††† 16 skaters plus goalie (s)
1954-55 to 1959-60 (inclusive): 18 skaters plus goalie (s)
1960-61 to 1970-71 (inclusive): 16 skaters plus goalie (s)
1971-72 to 1981-82 (inclusive): 18 skaters plus goalies
3 seasons or more will be played per calendar year. The approximate time frame will be: season 1† Sept-Nov, season 2 Dec-Feb, season 3 Mar-May.
Ties in standings- tie breaking will go as follows:
1) wins 2) goal for/ goals against 3) head to head games 4) head to head games gf/ga 5) 1 game playoff
Regular season games will be 60 minutes in length (three periods of 20 minutes each). If tied there will be one 10 minute sudden death overtime. Playoff games will have 20 minute overtimes. Starting with the 1926-27 season regular season overtime rules will follow the NHL rules of the day as per the following:
1926-27: 20 minute sudden death, tie awarded if no goal scored
1927-28: 10 minute sudden death, tie awarded if no goal scored
1928-29 to 1942-43 (inclusive): 10 minute, not sudden death, tie awarded if OT ends tied
1943-44 to 1982-83: no overtime, tie declared
1983-84 to lock-out: 5 minute sudden death, tie awarded if no goal scored
After lock-out: TBD, if we ever reach there
Note- no pre-season games will be played.
APBA Hockey has 2 choices regarding penalties: whether to eject the instigator in a fight and whether to replace players having coincidental minors. These will be selected according the NHL rules of the day as follows:
Eject instigator: turned on starting with the 1992-93 season
Replace players during coincidental minors: no from 1926-27 to 1984-85 (inclusive) and from 1992-93 to today. Yes from 1985-86 to 1991-92 (inclusive).
All series will be best of 7. First place team will play 4th place team nad 2nd place team will play 3rd place team, with the 2 winners playing in the final.
Injuries will be turned on for the playoffs but the maximum # of days a player can be injured will be 10 days. Any injuries longer than that will be lowered to 10 in Apba Commissioner.
Season end awards
At the end of every regular season league members will vote on individual awards. They are: Hart Trophy (League MVP), Calder Trophy (Rookie of the Year), Vezina Trophy (Top goalie) and the Norris Trophy (Top defenseman). Also awarded is the Art Ross Trophy (top scorer), the Maurice Richard Trophy (top goal scorer) and the Prince of Wales Trophy (regular season champion). The league commissioner will also select the 1st and 2nd all star teams. After the playoffs, the Stanley Cup is awarded to the playoff champion and the commissioner will award the Conn Smyth Trophy to the playoff MVP.
PART SIX: PLAYER USAGE
Every team must send in a lineup each group of 10 games starts. It is strongly recommended that APHCOMM (APBA Commissioner) be used. I will supply this program (if needed) and all data files required. You can also send in a lineup by e-mail. Games will be played once a week (usually the weekend).
If any trades are made which affects regulars in your lineup, owner must send new lineup, or new player (s) will not be in your lineup. You can send only 1 lineup per week of games.
All game summaries, stats, etc will posted on the website after each weekís games. Data files are also posted on the website.
Hopefully this explains all the rules and regulations of the Original Six Hockey league. HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!!!

Online news venture says over 500 publications sign up
Journalism Online, a company which seeks to help news organisations make money on the Web, said that more than 500 newspapers and magazines have agreed to join the venture.business Updated: Aug 14, 2009 09:20 IST
Journalism Online, a company which seeks to help news organisations make money on the Web, said that more than 500 newspapers and magazines have agreed to join the venture.
Journalism Online, launched in April by three veteran US media executives, said publishers representing 176 dailies, 330 non-dailies and "leading global news sites" have signed letters of intent to become its affiliates.
"The websites of these publishers have more than 90 million monthly visitors from around the world," the New York-based company said in a statement.
It said a payment platform would go online in the fall which would allow subscribers to access paid content at the websites of the affiliates using a universal Journalism Online account.
"Affiliates will select their own approach to offering paid access, based on their respective brands, content and online readership," it said.
"Somebody could subscribe to one publication, others might want to get a package of content," co-founder Gordon Crovitz, a former publisher of The Wall Street Journal, told AFP.
"Some access will continue to be free and the most engaged users will be required to pay," he said.
Crovitz said the newspapers which have signed the letters of intent were "not all in the United States."

About the Book
London, 1890. 221B Baker St. A fine art dealer visits Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to beg for their help. He is being menaced by a strange man in a flat cap--a wanted criminal who seems to have followed him all the way from America.
From the Publisher
"Horowitz truly pulls off the wonderful illusion that Arthur Conan Doyle left us one last tale."--San Diego Union Tribune
London, 1890. 221B Baker St. A fine art dealer named Edmund Carstairs visits Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson to beg for their help. He is being menaced by a strange man in a flat cap - a wanted criminal who seems to have followed him all the way from America. In the days that follow, his home is robbed, his family is threatened. And then the first murder takes place.
THE HOUSE OF SILK bring Sherlock Holmes back with all the nuance, pacing, and almost superhuman powers of analysis and deduction that made him the world's greatest detective, in a case depicting events too shocking, too monstrous to ever appear in print....until now.
About the Author
Anthony Horowitzis the #1New York Timesbestselling author of the Alex Rider series and the award-winning writer of PBS'sFoyle's War,Collision, Injusticeas well as many other film and television projects. He lives in London.
"The author excels at turning his readers into 'Watsons' who are devoted to Holmes and enthusiastically leap into danger just to follow the detective throughout a case...The characterization of Holmes and Watson is true to the original but also offers greater insight into a fascinating friendship...Horowitz even knows how to write a riveting chase scene that, were it filmed for Ritchie's movie franchise, would certainly be an adrenaline-fueled cinematic climax...for its attention to character, quality of plot, and Horowitz's familiarity with the original stories, it scores highly."-PopMatters.com

You will be happy to know that Sony is offering a number of attractive offers on the purchase of the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra to Indian customers. The Quick Charger UCH12 worth Rs. 1,490 has been bundled in the box and buyers will even get three months subscription to Sony LIV for free.
Moreover, customers can also avail Rs 1,000 discount on the Style Cover Stand if they buy it alongside the smartphone. To refresh your memories, the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra was originally unveiled back in February at this year’s MWC. In terms of design, the smartphone comes with a metal unibody. While the bezels around its display are narrow, the top and bottom bezels are quite thick. The device doesn’t feature a physical home button.

Commercial Landscaping Design and Xeriscaping
Having a vast and lush green lawn is hard on the wallet and time-consuming with landscape maintenance. Denver’s semi-arid climate is not exactly the most ideal environment for grassy hills and little shade. For commercial properties and commercial property managers, there might be some relief in cost and landscaping maintenance by exploring xeriscaping. Xeriscaping made popular back in the 80s, saves water by omitting a large portion of water-dependent plants, like replacing grass with substrate and sparsely placed drought-tolerant plants. Let's take a closer look at commercial landscaping design and xeriscaping.
A Commercial landscape doesn't have to be all or nothing
First things first, the landscaping for your commercial property doesn’t have to be completely converted from grass to rocks. It is a common conception that a landscape has to be completely transformed for it to be a legitimate xeriscape that helps conserve water. In reality, it is much more reasonable to build a commercial landscape design that has both grass in some areas and xeriscape in others. It is hard to deny people the appeal of green grass and colorful flowers, so by installing xeriscaping in a mix of sections on the property a balance can be created. There is still water conservation being done with a partial landscape design like this and it truly does help with cost and resources.
Xeriscape still needs water and landscape maintenance
Just because xeriscaping looks like nothing but rocks and shrubs doesn’t mean they can thrive all on their own. Many of the plants that are used are drought resistant but will require regular interval watering via an irrigation system or above-surface watering - albeit much less frequently. Also, the substrate that makes up most of the xeriscape surface will need landscaping services that include cleaning up, redistributing soil, and replacing substrate. This is because regular foot traffic, weather conditions, and other daily occurrences will cause wear and tear in the area. A commercial landscape maintenance contractor will be able to detail the services and schedule that would best suit your property.
Xeriscaping is more than just rocks
Denver has many native plants that would fit perfectly in a xeriscape section of a commercial property. Moreover, plants and shrubs in general can come in varieties that both are drought tolerant and flowering. This provides even more options for the landscaping design to incorporate beautiful colors throughout the area. Just be sure to have a professional handle the selections as the whole point of xeriscaping is to create a more resource-manageable landscape. Adding different varieties that could compete with each other or clash in overall upkeep - is creating more work for landscaping maintenance and ultimately costs more money.
Plant Select is a program that is operated by Denver Botanic Gardens, Colorado State University, and experts in the local horticultural industry. It aims to showcase plants from the Rocky Mountain region and the plains states that have the ability to withstand high altitudes and harsh conditions.
Consult with a professional landscape maintenance company
Commercial Properties all over Denver, Aurora, and more will have different needs when it comes to their landscape design. Consulting with a professional landscape maintenance company will help property managers determine what is the best fit for them. Vista Landscape Development has years of experience providing quality and insightful services like landscape installment, fence installation, irrigation system installation and repair, and commercial landscape maintenance contracts. If you are unsure where to start on your commercial property’s landscape, reach out to Vista for a free consultation or referral!

Elaine, 23, announced on her blog in February this year that she was “Back For Good” and cited medical reasons for deciding to end her contract with Alpha Entertainment.
“I’ve dropped out from the girl group .. due to medical reasons and there being too tough … I couldn’t take it and broke down lots of times.” she wrote in a post explaining her return.
“It’s not easy being there, all my myself. Without friends and family. Especially in places which (sic) language you don’t even know how to speak. I can’t even describe and put it in words.”

WELLFLEET -- Outer Cape Health Services, which serves about 18,000 patients in the easternmost towns on Cape Cod, has set up a Covid-19 screening and testing system at its Harwich Port, Wellfleet and Provincetown health centers.
OHCS is not affiliated with Cape Cod Healthcare, which is operating a separate testing site, a drive-through, at Cape Cod Community College in West Barnstable.
Outer Cape Health is using state Department of Public Health guidelines to determine the need for testing.
"We have certainly entered uncharted waters with the arrival of the novel coronavirus on Cape Cod," the agency's CEO, Pat Nadle, said in an email blast to patients earlier this week.
"Chief Medical Officer Andrew Jorgensen and I have taken charge of creating and implementing protocols and new workflows for our clinical response to Covid-19 at our three health centers in Provincetown, Wellfleet and Harwich Port. We have also been in constant contact with our community healthcare partners and officials on regional, state and federal levels."
Most important, patients are asked to call ahead at 508-905-2888 to be screened by phone, as the starting point, Nadle said.
The agency plans to provide nasal swab sampling at its three health centers, according to the agency's website.
"We are not currently recommending or referring any OCHS patients for drive-through testing at Cape Cod Community College," according to the web site post.
Once an Outer Cape Health Services patient has called for a possible test, medical staff will assess the person. Symptoms of Covid-19 can include a cough, a fever of 99.6 or greater, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Risk factors for contraction of the coronavirus include close contact with a person known to have the virus.
Nasal swab samples will only be taken for testing from patients after all clinical information is considered and a risk assessment is done by an Outer Cape Health Services clinician, according to the web site. If the agency confirms that testing is required, a medical provider wearing full protective gear will meet patients for swabbing outside at each health center's ambulance bay areas to discuss symptoms and obtain samples.
The swab samples will be packaged and sent for testing by Quest Diagnostics, which is an on-site partner with Outer Cape Health Services. Quest will send any swab samples to its own off-Cape labs for testing.
It takes three to four days to obtain test results, according to the web site.
Once test results are received, an Outer Cape Health Services medical staff member will contact the tested patient by telephone with results and provide further medical counseling.
Meanwhile, Cape Cod Healthcare has altered its physician referral rules for testing. CCH said earlier this week that it was accepting testing referrals from physicians not affiliated with CCH, but effective today, March 20, a physician must have affiliated status with Cape Cod Healthcare to submit a patient’s order for drive-through testing at the college site, according to a statement from CCH.
“By limiting the ability to order testing to physicians in the Cape Cod Healthcare network, the healthcare system will be better able to meet the needs of the community. A physician outside of the network will not be able to submit an order for testing,” the statement says.
People who do not have a primary care physician and who are experiencing symptoms, including fever, coughing or shortness of breath, should call 508-862-5595 and they will be screened for Covid-19 testing with a Cape Cod Healthcare clinical provider via phone.
If testing is required, the clinical provider will follow the same process of submitting the doctor’s order to the testing team and the patient will be called with a testing appointment time.
Those arriving at the college testing site without a doctor’s orders and/or an appointment will be turned away.
Anyone who is experiencing serious symptoms and does not have a primary care provider should visit the triage tents located outside of Cape Cod Hospital, 27 Park St., Hyannis, and Falmouth Hospital, 100 Ter Heun Drive, Falmouth.
For more information on the COVID-19 testing process, visit capecodhealth.org/coronavirus.

A year ago today, my life was made. Jeff Mangum. Singing. In a room. A room that I was in. And I got to hear it. I got to see him. Oh my stars, it was the most magical evening I have ever had.
As a long time Neutral Milk Hotel fan, seeing him in concert was a dream. Sometimes when I’m listening to one of his records I am reminded of that night and I feel a swell of joy.
I’ve seen many concerts in my life. But this show was different. The venue was a perfect vessel–a hollowed out shell that would echo with the most beautiful sounds. I cried as soon as that flannel-clad man opened his lungs and bellowed those songs I cherished for so long. He sounded so vulnerable and beautiful and I felt like the luckiest person alive to be sitting there witnessing it. I think everyone in that room felt the same way. Regardless of us knowing all of his lyrics, nobody opened their mouths to sing along. We all sat awe-struck, trying to absorb every second, every note. And it was magic. Absolute magic.
After the show, Adam and I sat with jaws wide open–not knowing what to say about what we had just experienced.
All we could muster was: “Holy. Shit.”
This version is perfect. And it kind of fits the Valentines Day theme because I love it so much. So so much.

Usually do not put your self in further danger of injury but try to look for your dog that bit you. Once you’ve found your dog then you will need certainly to attempt to locate its owner. It is important to have the owners name,address and phone number because they will soon be accountable for compensating you for the injuries.
Some of the medical issues that might result from this are disfigurement of the face, broken bones in the torso, and lacerations. There are lots of other issues that can also occur, including someone contracting rabies. Individuals becomes mentally traumatized by a conference such as this, while the owner associated with dog must be held liable for most of these accidents. There clearly was actually nothing a person can do on their own should this happen. This is why an individual may choose to hire a dog bite lawyer dog bite lawyer, that has many experience managing cases such as this. They have effectively managed these situations, and have aided many people get settlement due to their accidents.
The overriding point is your target just isn’t in charge of these accidents, no matter how severe. Also not responsible could be the dog. The dog owner may be the one that needs every one of the blame of the dog bite injuries your target sustained. This is because canine’s owner is meant to watch over the dog and also make yes they don’t do bad things and clearly that don’t take place in this case.
Dogs are adorable. They can be great house buddies. And also saying they’re not yours, they could clearly make your entire day especially when they have been in the most readily useful behavior. However, not all are relaxed and easy. There are many which can be too aggressive. Whenever in a terrible change of event left you scarred and afraid, perhaps the many endearing pup is a threat.
If you believe a dog may strike, remain motionless with fingers at your edges. After the dog loses interest in you, slowly back away before the dog has gone out of sight.
There are many dogs that are therefore small that you wouldn’t expect them to result in the try to attack. Usually however, the contrary is true. The small dog may want to protect itself more often because it might feel threatened more frequently because size. But larger dogs do have a tendency to inflict a much greater level of harm due only to their size. No dog should really be assumed become safe. It is simply perhaps not a self programmed trait.
The main action for assessing a bite gets in contact with the dogs owners. After that you are able to discuss when their last rabies shot happened (if at all), assuming the pet recently had any battles with wild animals or has been experiencing alterations in behavior.
Puppy bite attorneys have actually a profound understanding regarding dog bite guidelines. They’ll guarantee you will get a higher return inside efforts to acquire compensation than exactly what an insurance company will provide you with. Also, these attorneys focus on a contingency foundation. Which means that they won’t get such a thing unless you win your case.

Dear Fang, With Love tells the story of seventeen-year-old Vera – ravishing, troubled, wildly intelligent – who travels to Europe with her estranged father, hoping that an immersion in history might help them forget his past mistakes and her uncertain future.
Lucas and Katya were boarding school seniors when, blindingly in love, they decided to have a baby. Seventeen years later, after a decade of absence, Lucas is a weekend dad, newly involved in his daughter Vera’s life. But after Vera suffers a terrifying psychotic break at a high school party, Lucas takes her to Lithuania, his grandmother’s homeland, for the summer. Here, in the city of Vilnius, Lucas hopes to save Vera from the sorrow of her diagnosis. As he uncovers a secret about his grandmother, a Home Army rebel who escaped Stutthof, Vera searches for answers of her own. Why did Lucas abandon her as a baby? What really happened the night of her breakdown? And who can she trust with the truth? Skillfully weaving family mythology and Lithuanian history with a story of mental illness, inheritance, young love, and adventure, Rufi Thorpe has written a breathtakingly intelligent, emotionally enthralling book.
Dear Fang. With Love is a complex and beautifully written story of a young girl trying to make sense of the world around her whilst dealing with a myriad of issues that range from her own mental health, her difficult relationship with her Dad, her complex family history and whether or not her boyfriend is staying faithful to her whilst she is out of the country!
The letters that Vera writes to her boyfriend Fang while she is away from him give a startling insight into Vera’s thoughts and feelings and I couldn’t help but hope for a happy ending for her as I read. Vera comes across as incredibly intelligent but also very insecure and struggling to make sense of her upbringing, her parents’ relationship and her own health. Her thoughts and analysis made my head spin at times; Vera is one of the most complex characters that I’ve read in recent years and I won’t forget her easily.
This is a novel that isn’t afraid to look at hard hitting issues head on and covers mental health, rape and the holocaust in its pages but despite dark moments and topics that can’t help but bring up complex emotions, there are also lighter moments and I found Vera’s ability to tell it like it is both refreshing and funny at times.
Dear Fang, With Love is undoubtedly Vera’s story but it is also the story of her father Lucas and his were my favourite parts of the book. I enjoyed Lucas’s narrative and perspective and it was lovely to read from the point of view of a father for a change; particularly one who is trying so hard to do the best for his daughter. Lucas’s own family history is the reason he takes Lithuania for a holiday – he wants to discover the truth about his grandmother and I enjoyed how his family stories and history were woven into the plot.
Having studied history myself, the details of Lithuanian history captured my attention and I enjoyed reading about a place that I knew little about. As Vera and her parents begin to face sometimes uncomfortable truths, I was completely drawn into their story. Dear Fang, With Love would make an excellent choice for book groups to read as there are so many strong themes to debate.
Dear Fang, With Love is released in trade paperback and ebook formats on 2nd June.
I’d like to thank the publisher for sending me a review copy of this book.

Knee Support: Pro, HS Athletes Catch On To Kaepernick’s Form of Protest
SAN FRANCISCO — The first week of Sunday night football wasn’t just about the scoreboard. Some football fans were zoned in on what happened before kick-off.
You might’ve seen it too. Players from The Patriots to The Dolphins either kneeled or raised a fist during the national anthem.
This is a movement that has caught on ever since 49ers’ quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee to take a stand on police brutality against African Americans. But, the pro- athletes haven’t been the only ones tackling this form of protest.
High school football players and their coaches across the nation have followed Kaepernick’s lead.
An entire team in New Jersey got full support from their district when they took a knee during the national anthem.
Things didn’t go so smoothly for one football player in Massachusetts. He says he was initially suspended for one game after pulling a Kaepernick.
But, Monday morning, in a statement, the district decided to terminate his suspension.

Why midwifery continuity of care is important
If you have ever seen multiple GPs in a year, you know how frustrating it can be to explain your health story. Your family history of disease, the medication you’re on, your allergies.
Now, imagine if during pregnancy you had to tell up to 30 people your story every time you went to an antenatal appointment. About your previous pregnancies, what you wanted for your labour, and who your partner is.
This is one of the downfalls in the way maternity care is currently delivered to the majority of pregnant women in Australia. There is a renewed push for midwifery continuity of care to be made more available across the country, as more and more evidence links this model of care to improved outcomes for women.

THE JAMESTOWN UNDERPASS
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST
STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST
The story of the Jamestown underpass.
Many spooky stories and ghost
stories are told of ghost appearing and talking with the living, asking for a
ride home, or other strange happenings; however, none is as strange and scary as
the one about the Jamestown Underpass just east of Jamestown, North Carolina.
Before there were highways and interstates, many
people used the road that had a dip in it just prior to arriving at a tunnel
under the train tracks. This was a very popular road that everyone used and is
still in use today, but not as often as it once was.
Before the highways, this was the major
thoroughfare from Greensboro to Lexington. As it was the best way to travel, a
young man left Greensboro during the evening hours to return to his home in
Lexington. He had traveled this road on many occasions, but due to the night
being a bit foggy, he drove a little slower as he approached the dip and the
tunnel ahead. He knew that several wrecks had occurred on this stretch of road
throughout the years. He slowed going into the curve and into the tunnel. About
half way through the tunnel, his headlight beams caught the white outline of a
figure standing just on the other side of the tunnel on the other side of the
underpass. He could tell it was a young girl with her hand held up as if in
trouble. He quickly put on his brakes to see if he could help.
When he got close to the young girl, he could see
that she was dressed in a beautiful white evening dress. He parked the girl
close by her and got out of his car to see if he could help. She obviously was
in some type of trouble since there was no car in sight; he could not imagine
how she got out here on this dark night.
He asked if he could help her and she replied that
she needed a ride home and that she lived in High Point. He agreed to take her
home and they both got into his car. She sat beside him in the passenger seat
and she began to tell her story. She told him she had been at a dance when her
and her date had gotten into an argument. She asked him to drop her off at the
underpass. She then quit talking. She did not say another word until they
reached High Point.
She gave him only directions to her home when they
arrived in High Point. He pulled up to her home and parked the car. There were
no lights on in the home, so he decided to walk her to the door. He gets out of
the car and walks around to open her door. When he opens the door, the beautiful
girl is gone!
Wondering if she walked up the steps and into the house that quickly, he decided
to knock on the door to be sure she was safe inside the house.
He knocked at the door three times before anyone
answered. He was expecting to see the young lady at the door; however, it was an
elderly woman with white hair and standing in a robe.
He explained that he had brought a young lady home
that he found along the road. The woman asked where he had picked her up at and
he explained that it was out by the Jamestown underpass. The lady told him. That
it was her daughter, but that she had been killed in an automobile accident five
years ago on this exact night, at the underpass and she believes she is still
trying to find her way home.

4th Quarter 2017 Hotline
by Joe A. Hollingsworth, Jr.
By now, you have read it over 50 times. You have heard it on TV over 30 times. Sometimes it just seems to be relentless…that the media has to drive home the point that we are in an economic cycle that should have already matured or is approaching the downturn. Economists, who try to do forecasting based on the past (which is like driving a car looking in the rear view mirror), cannot get it right. When they say they estimate something, it is more of a guesstimate. In fact, my weatherman does a much better job of being accurate. It’s obvious that the stock market doesn’t agree with the economists.
I, for one, am strongly convinced that at no point in time (that I can recall) in America’s economic history that: 1) The onshoring of jobs/business has become so massive; 2) The discussion of protective tariffs are realigning America’s national corporations to relook at investing in the United States instead of overseas; 3) Regulation after regulation in literally every department of the federal government is being lifted or revised. In fact, a recent statistic quoted in the Wall Street Journal said over 610 regulations have been substantially altered as of June 30th year-to-date; 4) Capital is fleeing from the potential controls of China; 5) Low inflation is justifying (to some extent) lower than normal interest rates; 6) Over 40 million people are receiving federal assistance in which a portion of those could be active participants in the workforce if the entitlements were lowered or drug tests were implemented; 7) The controls of federal government are more in conservative hands (not saying that they are good at it yet); and, 8) There is pent up demand that has built up over the previous 8 years. In fact, the list goes on and on.
I maintain that the next 12 years (whether Trump is re-elected or not) will be the “best 12 years of our economic lives”. Small business ownership and individual initiative can lift this country again easily, unleashing the ingenuity behind individuals and their thirst for personal success. Although, this is not limitless; it can certainly carry us for a decade.
As it pertains to industrial real estate, I believe that there is no better time to build; because, scarcity has taken hold of the market, driving rental prices up. Older space has taken a “grand ride”, also. Many might say, “Why not just buy existing space?” However, as we have experienced in the market, existing net leased properties are greatly overpriced. And, while I certainly don’t want to throw rocks at that business model, to have new highly-flexible space with life spans of 40 to 45 years is now beginning to command premiums. The real question is whether developers can force the market to longer term leases with firm escalators to justify new builds; we say yes!
As far as our company’s direction, we are buckled up, strapped in, and ready to experience what will be “the greatest ride of our economic lives”.


New features planned for Rotorua’s CityRide network
Thursday, 11 December 2014 10:00 a.m.
Rotorua’s CityRide buses will travel on a new inner city route next year, creating a loop around the central city and bringing more downtown locations closer to a bus stop.
The new loop will take passengers along a Fenton, Arawa, Amohia, Rotorua Central Mall and Victoria Street circuit from July 2015.
Rotorua Lakes Council is to establish a new inner city stop at Arawa Street, in the section of road adjacent to the i-SITE and library, with the existing Pukuatua Street stop being removed.
The change to where buses travel in the inner city was approved at Tuesday’s Bay of Plenty Regional Council Passenger Transport Subcommittee meeting as the first steps in a re-tender process for the Rotorua CityRide contract. Other changes to some routes were also approved.
Lyall Thurston, Chair of the Passenger Transport Subcommittee and Bay of Plenty Regional Councillor said the changes were developed from extensive discussions held with Rotorua Lakes Council about how the Regional Council could support Rotorua’s Inner City Revitalisation Strategy, and from information gathered in a recent review of the Rotorua network.
“The changes mean more of the central city will be covered by the bus network, and it puts both regional buses and local buses within easy walking distance of each other for those using a combination of services,” Cr Thurston said.
Passengers will also see bike racks appearing on buses and will be able to take the bus on public holidays. Buses will continue to be fully accessible to people with limited mobility.
“The inclusion of bike racks on buses means people will be able to mix their modes of travel, perhaps taking the bus into work in the morning and cycling home later,” he said. “As well as the associated health benefits from cycling, we hope it will reduce the transport footprint in the city.”
District councillor and Rotorua Lakes Council representative on the Public Transport Subcommittee, Glenys Searancke, expressed her appreciation to the Regional Council for their work and cooperation in making the changes.
“I want to thank the regional council for the manner in which the consultation process has been undertaken,” she said. “The new routes that have been agreed upon, in particular having the buses coming into Rotorua Central, will be a huge benefit for the Rotorua community and visitors to Rotorua.
Peter Faulkner, representing Pukeroa Oruawhata, owners of Rotorua Central Mall, said they were pleased to be able to participate in the revision of the schedules.
“The changes will certainly contribute towards the inner city revitalisation,” he said.
The changes will come into effect in mid-2015 when the new contract for operating the buses is expected to begin. The regional council’s re-tender process for operating the service will begin on 16 December.

Guatemala syphilis experiment, American medical research project that lasted from 1946 to 1948 and is known for its unethical experimentation on vulnerable human populations in Guatemala. The intent of the study was to test the value of different medications, including the antibiotic penicillin and the arsenical agent orvus-mapharsen, in the prevention of symptom emergence following infection with certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). A diagnostic testing arm of the study investigated methods to refine STD screening techniques. The total study population included more than 5,500 Guatemalan prisoners, sex workers, soldiers, children, and psychiatric patients, about one-quarter of whom were deliberately infected with syphilis, gonorrhea, or chancroid and all of whom were enrolled in the experiments without their consent.
Basis for the experiments
At the start of World War II, U.S. medical researchers were tasked with finding an effective strategy for preventing the contraction of STDs among soldiers who consorted with prostitutes. The first such strategy emerged in the early 1940s, when government scientists discovered that penicillin could eliminate symptoms of syphilis within days of infection. The U.S. military subsequently began using penicillin as a means of post-STD-exposure treatment. However, it was unclear whether penicillin provided long-term prophylactic protection and whether it could be used in a similar manner for other STDs. In addition, its supplies were limited, and scientists were interested in testing the prophylactic ability of other agents, including orvus-mapharsen, which could be applied as a foaming wash following exposure. Hence, the Guatemala study was proposed.
The Guatemala experiments were designed based on the Terre Haute prison experiments of 1943–44, which were carried out in consenting prisoners at a penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana. Intended to test preventative strategies for gonorrhea, the Terre Haute study ultimately failed to meet its goals because of difficulties with establishing the infection in subjects. As a result, testing different inoculation methods for gonorrhea, syphilis, and chancroid formed a major part of the Guatemala experiments. Among the most controversial methods used was “normal exposure,” in which sex workers infected with syphilis were used to transmit the disease to unsuspecting prisoners.
Much of the diagnostic and laboratory work was carried out at a 300-bed hospital in Guatemala City that had been built specifically for the study. The city was chosen as the study site in part because it housed a relatively large population of prisoners and other potential test subjects. Directing the research was United States Public Health Service (USPHS) scientist John C. Cutler, who had been involved in the Terre Haute study and who later was one of the leaders of the Tuskegee syphilis study. Cutler and USPHS colleagues collaborated with local Guatemalan physicians and were granted access to public health centres, government hospitals, mental institutions, and orphanages as a result of negotiations between the Pan American Sanitary Bureau (PASB; now Pan American Health Organization) and the Guatemalan government.
Approximately 1,308 soldiers, prisoners, sex workers, and psychiatric patients, ranging from age 10 to 72, were intentionally exposed to STDs during the study. Syphilis exposure occurred through inoculation of the cervix in sex workers; through injection or direct sexual contact with infected sex workers in prisoners; and through injection, inoculation (via abrasion) of the penis, cisternal puncture (the insertion of a needle below the occipital bone at the back of the skull to access cerebrospinal fluid), or oral ingestion in psychiatric patients. Exposure to gonorrhea was carried out in sex workers through cervical inoculation and in Guatemalan soldiers through sexual contact with the sex workers and sometimes through urethral inoculation; psychiatric patients were infected through inoculation of the urethra, rectum, or eyes. Chancroid was transmitted to Guatemalan soldiers and psychiatric patients through abrasion and rubbing of inoculum into the skin on the arms or back.
Serology testing, in which blood and spinal fluid samples were collected for the detection of antibodies and microorganisms indicative of infection, was performed in 5,128 subjects (some of whom were involved in the intentional infection arm of the study). Subjects included children as young as one year, persons with leprosy, psychiatric patients, and personnel stationed at the U.S. Air Force base in Guatemala. This phase of the research, intended to refine diagnostic techniques for STDs, lasted until 1953.
As a measure of “goodwill” toward the Guatemalan government but also to promote the prophylaxis study, Cutler initiated an STD treatment program. About 820 subjects received some form of treatment for their infections; more than 650 of these individuals were in the deliberate exposure group.

What initially began as a simple restoration of a dilapidated piano has transformed into a night of music featuring three gifted pianists at the Kantha Bopha Auditorium in Siem Reap.
When The Piano Shop, a local music store founded by Italian pianist Gabriele Faja, was commissioned to repair a grand piano at Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospital, it didn’t expect to find a Steinway & Sons piano made in Hamburg, Germany way back in 1982.
Faja says: “One day, a staff from the hospital called and asked us to fix a piano, which hasn’t been used for many years - around four or five years. Now, the piano has come alive. It’s a really expensive piano which costs around $100,000.
“I was surprised to see it. Then I thought, ‘Hey, maybe we could hold some events [with this piano].’ So I talked with other pianists and we made it possible. All proceeds from our events go to the hospital foundation.”
The Kantha Bopha Auditorium was built by the late Dr Beat “Beatocello” Richner, a Swiss-born doctor and cello player who built the auditorium to create space for music events. The auditorium, which seats 600, is relatively unknown in Cambodia.
The Piano Trilogy marks the first musical event at the auditorium since Dr Richner’s passing.
“He [Dr Richner] built this beautiful place yet it had never been graced by music until his death. I never played with him or for him, but I knew that he was still playing music on the side, besides his job as a doctor,” says Faja.
He recalls a conversation with Dr Richner where they discussed how certain genres of music require an attentive and hushed audience - something he says is rare in Cambodian music events.
Organisers should focus more on concerts where the audience can fully connect with the artists, he says.
The Piano Trilogy concert is set to mesmerise the audience with the fusion of jazz and classical music as played by pianists Metta Legita from Indonesia, Philippe Javelle (France) and Gabriele Faja (Italy).
“We will employ the same rules as we have employed in our previous events: use of mobile phones and cameras will be banned. We’ll try to create a more organic connection with the audience.
“With only 20 minutes each and a brief break in between performances, the pianists will play music for the audience. This is a very short concert. Every musician will be showcasing different musical styles. We hope they like it,” he continues.
Faja was born to musical parents - his father was a conductor and his mother a cellist - and lived in London for 12 years where he completed his education at the Royal College of Music.
He took a rest from playing music to concentrate on his businesses in Cambodia, founding the music school Soundskool Music and The Piano Shop.
“At present, we operate at several locations with two shops in Phnom Penh and one in Siem Reap. I stopped playing the piano for four years to focus more on my business. This year, I decided to take the stage again,” says Faja.
Though classical and jazz music are more popular in Western countries, the Piano Trilogy, Faja says, expects to welcome local music enthusiasts and Western tourists who visit Siem Reap.
“We know a lot of our Khmer students will be there. I think we’ll have a mixture of local and foreign audience. Many locals I spoke to said they were willing to pay to watch the concert.
“Their enthusiasm caught me by surprise as I had assumed they would not care much about such events. But they proved to be more interested in it than foreigners,” he says.
He noticed that interest in playing the piano among Cambodians has gradually improved. Right now, his music schools accommodate at least 400 students, most of whom come to learn the piano.
Since 2012, he says student attendance has gone up, with parents investing in piano lessons which they believe is an important part of a well-rounded education.
“Previously, I only taught foreign kids - French, Japanese - but now, all my students are Khmers,” he says, adding “we don’t just teach musical techniques but also the importance of discipline, focus, dedication and playing with emotions”.
Though many locals come to learn in his schools, he recognises that “not everyone wants to become a musician, maybe only 0.1 per cent does”.
“I have seen more events that celebrate classical music in the last few years at the Chaktomuk and Chenla theatres. Now they also showcase operas and orchestras. Cambodia is starting to open up to more Western classical events,” he says.
The Piano Trilogy - Siem Reap will be held at Kantha Bopha Auditorium on Friday, January 10. Tickets are sold at $8 with all proceeds going to the Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospital Foundation.

“Then Peter answered, ‘Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have'” (Acts 10:46-47)?
“Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, ‘See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized” (Acts 8:36)?
I received word this week of the baptism of seven persons in India. A man baptized his son and daughter, and also his brother, sister-in-law, two nieces, and nephew. We rejoiced greatly at this good news, as does God (Luke 15:7, 10).
As I considered these things I was struck by the great wisdom and love of God in his plan for our salvation. The man who performed these baptisms has no official position in the Church. He is not a supported preacher. He has never been ordained by anyone. He answers to no Bishop, or board, or College of Cardinals. He is simply a New Testament Christian — one who has put on Christ himself, and follows him in faith.
Had it been necessary no doubt some special person could have been called to officiate in these particular baptisms. But it was not necessary, and it is not always possible or feasible to send for someone. Often readers of the Bible come to faith far from the presence of established congregations or trained evangelists. Must they wait until some special person is found so that their obedience may be officially recognized? The answer in the Bible is clearly “No.”
Wherever the Bible is read or the message of Jesus is heard people may respond in faith. No one can deny water for baptism. No hindrance exists to prevent their obedience. So long as they believe in Jesus, confess his name, repent of their sins and resolve to put him on in baptism they may do so (Acts 8:37).
God welcomes them into his family. Since a public confession is required (Matthew 10:32) and Biblical baptism was always administered by some person, it is obvious that there must be another party involved.
But that person does not have to meet some set of requirements or conditions. One’s obedience to Christ is not dependent upon the qualifications of others.
Paul taught, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gives the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6). God alone regulates forgiveness of sin and entrance into his kingdom. Man assists, but does not control. So long as we believe and submit to God we can be found pleasing to him and we can obey him, no matter what others may say or do.
Spontaneous generation is the rise of life with no outside stimulus or help. It is not possible physically, and we must admit it is not possible spiritually either. One must hear the Word of God in order to have faith and thus be given new life (Romans 10:17).
But God’s plan comes as close to that impossible idea as one can imagine. Our salvation depends on no one, save God himself. He has revealed his will through the Bible. He has sent his son to be our Savior. We depend upon no one else. No one can deny us water that we may be born again.

You've got to give Ryan Annesley some credit as a recruiter for the Dinos hockey team.
He may have helped bring the guy who might help the club win its first CIS championship.
Annesley and new Dino Jared Aulin had always joked around about Aulin going to school and joining his former Kamloops Blazers teammate with the U of C Dinos.
But the friendly banter between the two buddies never really got serious or amounted to anything since both thought Aulin, a former NHLer with the L. A. Kings, had used up his five years of eligibility as a pro.
But this summer, Annesley decided to talk to head coach Scott Atkinson about the matter and things just worked out, allowing Aulin, a Calgarian, to join the team for this season.
"We were always under the assumption his eligibility had ran out," said Annesley, who begins his final year as a Dino.
"It was fun to talk about, but we never knew it would come to reality. But I mentioned it to our coach (Scott Atkinson) and he was pretty shocked because Aulin's a big name around here. He started looking into it and somehow found a loophole."
The loophole, Aulin playing a year of pro as an under-age player, means he and Annesley will be wreaking havoc on the Dinos opposition like they did with the Kamloops Blazers in 2000-01.
"We were best friends and linemates in Kamloops ... and to be able to play again with a guy like that, he's one of the top calibre players," said Annesley, who led the Dinos in scoring last season with 38 points in 33 games.
Naturally, Atkinson won't mess with a good thing and plans on playing Aulin alongside Annesley and former Calgary Hitmen Brett O'Malley.
Reid Jorgensen, another former Blazer, will join the Dinos after being released by the Boston Bruins. Jorgensen had 68 points in 61 games last season with Kamloops.
The Dinos are in Saskatoon this weekend for the Huskie Hockey Classic tournament.
