It's official, Arrow will be ending after Crisis on Infinite Earths. Stephen Amell announced the end of the long-running CW show today on his official Twitter. Arrow will have a shortened run of 10 episodes before ending during the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover already announced for this fall.
Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life… but you can't be a vigilante forever.
Arrow will return for a final run of 10 episodes this Fall.
There's so much to say… for now I just want to say thank you.
— Stephen Amell (@StephenAmell) March 6, 2019
The 10-episode run puts the show's end right alongside the Crisis crossover. This matches up with what we saw Elseworlds this last fall (prepare for light Elsewords spoilers in the next few sentences); Oliver stepped into the Monitor's pocket dimension to make a deal, and that deal went down off-screen. Since then, we've been theorizing that Oliver would sacrifice himself in the Crisis, giving his life to save Flash and/or Supergirl.
In the original mid-80s Crisis on Infinite Earths event, Supergirl and Flash both died, and Barry Allen stayed that way for over two decades before coming back to life. During the Elseworlds crossover, we saw both heroes pushing themselves to their absolute limits before the others managed to stop Dr. Destiny's attempts to re-write reality in his image, hinting at that fate for the characters.
This shows a huge commitment by the CW and from Amell himself to the Crisis storyline, to the DC TV shows, and to Arrow in particular. 10 episodes is not a traditional run of TV, which usually sticks to half or full season runs of 13 or 26 episodes. A 10 episode run almost makes it more like an event series at this point.
Talking on Facebook Live, Amell said that his first inkling that he'd be finishing his run on the show came toward the end of season 6.
"I've always been a fan of television shows that not only don't overstay their welcome, but end in a manner that really packs a punch. It had always been my hope that we would know when we were going to finish this journey and not limp to the finish line, so to speak," Amell said as he choked back tears.
Amell thanked a number of people involved with the show, and said that the decision to end the show at the end of the 10-episode run has been a very mutual decision between him, creators Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, and other principals involved with the show.
"You can't be a vigilante forever," Amell wrote in his Twitter post. On Facebook, he finished out by saying, "it's been a pretty good run. It's no Supernatural, but it's been a pretty good run.


NEC music history chair Katarina Markovic writes in retrospect on NEC's 2011 season of Mahler Unleashed programs, a project that mushroomed out of an offhand remark she made to NEC President Tony Woodcock earlier in the year. Below is an excerpt on Ran's performance. To read Katarina Markovic's full article, CLICK HERE.


Hi. This post is meant to give you a basic grasp of key differences between these games so you can make a better decision about playing this or whether you really need to ask that question.
1. Mechwarrior Online is based upon a tabletop game called battletech.
2. Mechs weigh 20-100 tons. This is broken into four categories. Light (20-35), Medium (40-55), Heavy (60-75), and Assault (80-100).
3. Damage is determined by hit location. Each location has armor hp and internal hp. Once you get through the armor for lets say the left leg you start hitting internal structure. When there is no more internal structure that location is destroyed (destruction of 1 leg results in a severe limp, 2 legs you are Ko'd). Along the way you tend to do a lot of crits to locations that are taking internal structure damage.
4. There is no bouncing in this game. A gun on a light mech does the same damage to an assault as that gun would do if it was mounted on an assault mech. The key thing is the assault mech has more guns and armor.
5. Heavier the mech the more it carries in guns and armor, but also the more engine power it takes to go the same speed. Also heavier mechs are bigger. Basically small nimble scouts, vs big slow juggernauts. Get the picture?
6. Scout mechs will have a big impact on this game if the devs pull it off right. The idea is the scout mechs will keep the enemy lit for the support mechs to shoot at them with indirect fire from LRM launchers etc.
7. This game does not have TDs or SPGs.
8. One shotting an enemy is far less likely in this game. Should still be possible in the right circumstances and with a great deal of luck/skill, but not a hey I see that happen 2-3 times per match kind of thing.
9. Mechs can be modified by the pilot to get different performance outside the same vehicle. basically you can swap around the weapon loadouts, add/remove armor, put in bigger or small engines. There is a ruleset behind this so not everything is possible, but the degree of variety should mean that after the game has been out for a short amount of time the variety in mechs should be fairly high.
10. Won't everyone just get the biggest mechs? Short answer is no. Long answer is bigger mechs are basically big fat targets. Basically assault mechs would be like T95s without the bounces, just a lot more hp. You see them coming, you attack them from the flanks or from distance with smaller more nimble mechs. Light mechs would be vk 2801s but their gun now has infinite penetration (no bouncing). Probably most people will settle into the medium and heavy categories of mechs as they will balance firepower and speed better.
11. Will there be gold rounds? No. this game is f2p, and yes you can pay for things, but paying does not equal winning or having a significant combat advantage. The understanding I've gotten from reading the forums is you will be able to spend real money to basically buy mechs, and a premium mode.
12. Will driving a certain mech for a long time benefit you? Yes. The pilots apparently gain xp in specific mechs which will unlock perks for that mech. That said, the more experienced pilots will not get a massive advantage over the nub. If they are beating you a lot its b/c they know the maps, mechs, and general tactics for this game better.
13. What about premium mechs? There will be premium mechs. They will not have any weaker or stronger performance than the standard mechs for that tonnage. They will simply have a boosted credit earning potential. Basically this would be like if you can earn a tiger 2 or buy a premium tiger 2. Both will play the same, just after the battle the premium guy will get more money for his efforts.
14. Will there be a lot of grinding to get to the mech I really want? Courts still out on this. However you should realize that when you get a new mech it will be practically the same as the same mech owned by a guy who has 500 matches in it. He will however have unlocked a bunch of perks for it while you will have to grind to get those unlocked. But again that isn't night and day like WoT stock tanks vs fully unlocked. We're talking 10% more heat dissipation or longer radar ranges not popgun vs. doom cannons.
15. Should I play this game? Yes. You should. Will you like it more or less than WoT? I don't know. You won't know either until you try it. So how about keep an eye on this game, wait until open beta and then give it a spin. Odds are you will like this game and its f2p so dipping your toe in won't cost you anything but a little time. And if you don't like it WoT will still be there for you. I promise.
Final comment for this post. This is not WoT nor should it be. They are both different and yet fill the same niche market. Having both around should be a good thing. I think there is room in the market for both games AND I think having both games around will force both sets of devs to keep working at their respective titles to make them better games for us gamer folk. In the end games are meant to be fun and I hope you find something you are having fun at. If you aren't having fun then please don't settle for something. FIND something better. Not every game is for every gamer.
What? You don't trust a fellow Capellan?
Q: How will the player's initial 'mech(s) be selected?
Hey OP, great post but a mistake (posisbly two).
You can blow an arm off a 'Mech, but not a leg. It just becomes dysfunctional but you can limp along with it at reduced speed (destroying both KO's the mech).
I'm pretty sure you can only add\remove Jumpjets on 'Mechs that have them as a baseline in the chasis variant, but I could be wrong on this.

This Post should be pinned!
Thanks Bhoda! As a WoT player since that beta and an utter MWO noob your post was exceptionally informative. I think I can speak for all the WoT guys when I say no bounces (or pen no damage hits) will be a very welcome change.
im sure ill continue to play WoT once this releases... Nothing like a change of pace every now and then.
Awesome post, you nailed it down to the Point.
I didn't get the feeling the XP was mech specific nearly as much as weight-class... So whether you were in a Catapult or a Dragon you would get XP to spend on advancing Heavy skills.
Currently the only premium mech effects we know of are the Founder's, and we don't know whether the permanent +25% c-bills will be available on a different premium offer later (although I think most assume it will be).
Has there been any hard statements on these that I missed?
You may be correct on both points, will do some more research and get back to you on that. Either way though the point is that you will not be grinding in a substantially substand vehicle as the case can be in WoT, and the premium vehicles in this game are subpar for their class/weight/tier unlike the premium tanks in WoT (ie Lowe. T34. KV-5 vs Tiger 2 and IS-3).
lol. I just tried to make a fairly tidy comparison so people will have 1 post to read with the core differences.
As long as the devs don't get nerf and useless content happy, and favoring one tech tree more then the other, like one other f2p game I know, this game will be awesome . Can't wait for this to come live already.
By the way, being a WoT vet my self, this is actually a very awesome comparison.
P.S. I would also add maybe how the repairs will work in MWO compared to WoT. I know its here somewhere on the forum but I can't find it.

Players will be gaining xp for the current variant they're piloting. For example: You will need to reach Elite I tier on all Catapult's variants (primary variant, variant a, variant b etc.) to unlock higher efficiencies tiers. After reaching Elite II tier you can congratulate yourself because you have mastered the Catapult chassis (all his variants).
EDIT: Keep in mind that this was posted few months ago, so some game mechanics may be changed now or later, or will not be changed at all.

Thanks for writing this topic, Bodha.
A post that deserves a "+".
This alone will keep me playing this game.

If you were not in San Francisco the weekend of Feb 26-29 you missed the Pacific Orchid Exposition which is one of the largest if not the largest orchid shows in the US. Depending on when you receive and read this newsletter you might have already missed the Santa Barbara International Orchid Exposition (SBIOE) which is/was on March 4-6. Setup of the FCOS display at SBIOE is on WednesdayMarch 2, so if you read this before then and have orchids our society could use in the display please contact either Eric Holenda or me and we will figure out how to take them on a road trip. BUT, of most importance is the FCOS show which you all know will be held on April 1-3. For that weekend we need both your orchids and YOU. We have many tasks (most of which involve sitting on a chair) to accomplish and when many people help the work will get completed easily. If you do not volunteer you will miss out on a great experience.
At the February meeting I brought up the idea about FCOS having an Orchid Coach program and I am still waiting for someone to volunteer to be the program's coordinator. I believe this program will allow new members and visitors to feel more comfortable at the meetings which will hopefully make them want to become long term members. So hopefully someone will step forward and give me a call (489-9046) and volunteer. The coordinator's job will only take a small amount of time. We will also need Coaches to help with the program so don't be shy as I know all of you like to talk and will know more about orchids than a true beginner. The coaches will need to provide the following information: name, email, telephone and/or cell phone number, orchid specialty, and the most convenient time for receiving an initial contact call. Coaches might just talk to the folks at the meeting and not need to talk to them at a time outside of our meetings. This is a great way to make visitors and new members feel they are part of the group more quickly.
The last time Fred Clarke from Sunset Valley Orchids spoke to us, he mentioned that he has switched to using Kiwi Orchid Bark for his orchid media and has found his orchids are growing much better that in regular bark or Orchiata bark. He is the California distributor for Kiwi Bark and FCOS is going to have bags of it brought to our show for anyone that does a PRE-ORDER WITH ME. You must contact me by March 26 with the number of bags and size of Kiwi Bark you want delivered to the show. Each bag is $22 each and is 50 liters (1.76 cu. ft.) in size. The three sizes are listed below. It will come up in the SVO truck when Ruben drives up to our show so I do not believe there will be any shipping charges. I will NOT be ordering any additional bags in hopes that someone who did not order will want some. So place your order before the March 26 deadline.
AOS judge Arthur Pinkers spoke to FCOS about Warm Growing Oncidium Intergenerics at the February, 2016 meeting. Arthur has been growing orchids since he was 16 and became an AOS judge when he lived in the state of Washington. He moved to sunny California in 2004 and had to change the groups of orchids he was growing due to the warmer temperatures. Temperatures at his house have ranged from about 20-110°F. Oncidiums Intergenerics like to have humidity of 70-90, light of about 2,000-3,000 foot candles and they need more shade when the air temperatures increase. He has found they grow best for him when he uses 1/4 to 1/2 strength fertilizer. He uses a fast draining and airy media as the roots do not like to be in stagnant conditions. Some of the species and hybrids need a winter rest but not all of them have this requirement. He showed many slides of different species making up the genera in the 'Oncidium' type orchids. He then showed slides of Bi-generic, Tri-generic, Tetra-generic and Penta-generic hybrids which are individual with parentage consisting of more than one genus. Arthur is an AOS judge so the photos were very good.

Bombay Mix brings together the street photographs of leading Indian photographer Ketaki Sheth, images taken between 1988 and 2004. Bombay is a city that never sleeps. Its population (17.7 million) and its geography put a premium on space. A lot of 'living' happens on the street, where a disparate and unlikely blend of humanity defines its boundaries in a tightly confined space. The thrill of Bombay is the thrill of contrast. The streetscape of the city is as much psychedelic as it is kaleidoscopic: there is so much to see. What is most difficult to discern is geometry, the internal order amidst the clutter.
Sheth's Bombay is subtle, considered, and thoughtful, even when it is outwardly brutal. There is an incidental beauty in its streets and its people, in the midst of the grime. It thus, presents a 'clement gaze' upon a turbulent town.
Ketaki Sheth won the Sanskriti Award for Indian photography in 1992 and the Higashikawa Award 2006 in Japan for best foreign photographer. She has exhibited in the UK, India, the United States, France and Japan. Sheth lives in Bombay and Bombay Mix is her second book.

5 Things We're Looking Forward to in "Good Omens"
By Caitlin Kennedy March 17, 2019 May 10, 2019
1 Comment on 5 Things We're Looking Forward to in "Good Omens"
In 1990, beloved writers and masters of fantasy, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, published "Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" and instantly became a cult-favorite.
The book has remained incredibly popular and the hype has been just as real for Amazon's new six part mini-series, "Good Omens." The show marks Neil Gaiman's debut as showrunner and boasts one of the most exciting casts in recent memory.
TV Synopsis
A tale of the bungling of Armageddon features an angel, a demon, an eleven-year-old Antichrist, and a doom-saying witch.
The all-star cast is led by Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Jon Hamm, Brian Cox, Benedict Cumberbatch and Frances McDormand to name a few.
"Good Omens" received a warm welcome at SXSW 2019, getting the full treatment of panels and red carpet moments, as well as an immensely popular "Garden of Earthly Delights" fan experience.
As a lifelong lover of Gaiman and especially "Good Omens," to say that I'm excited for the show to drop is an understatement. But, for now, here are the five things in "Good Omens" I'm most looking forward to!
The Hell Hound
One of the best moments of the "Good Omens" novel was when a ferocious hell hound took the preferred form of his anti-Christ master… a precious little terrier pup.
Trailers for "Good Omens" have already teased at both forms of the Hound, cute fur baby riding in a bike basket and snarling beast. Every show can use an adorable animal sidekick and the Hell Hound is sure to be just as much a delight to watch as he was to read.
When I think of the great badass images in literature, Gaiman and Pratchett's depiction of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as a motorcycle gang ranks pretty high!
A hallmark of "Good Omens" was how seamlessly the novel incorporated ancient concepts and characters into the contemporary landscape. How would harbingers of the end times get around nowadays? On a goddamn hog, that's how!
Beyond just being a cool concept, the Four Horsemen are given absolutely fabulous introductions that I hope are repeated in the series. War (played by Mireille Enos) is definitely one to watch!
"Good Omens" and its characters are larger than life and it takes a cast of Biblical proportions to bring them to life.
We're talking Michael Sheen and David Tennant as an odd couple, angel and demon duo. Jon Hamm as the Archangel Gabriel (he's already an angel, to me). Frances McDormand as the VOICE OF GOD, HERSELF! Too much talent to list in one place.
The snark levels are going to be off the charts.
The Battle Between Heaven and Hell
As I mentioned, previously, one of the coolest elements of "Good Omens" is seeing the supernatural world adapt to the contemporary. We've seen glimpses of Heaven as a sterile professional setting.
We also know, from the trailers, that shit goes down! With so many wild and powerful characters, in play, it's sure to be an exciting climax.
Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the Dark Lord, himself. Enough said.
Any fans of the book out there? What are you most looking forward to, out of the series?
"Good Omens" arrives on Amazon Prime streaming on May 31, 2019.

Leaked Galaxy Z Fold 2 Renders Depict Some Major Upgrades for Samsung's Second-Gen Foldable Phone
جولای 31, 2020, Posted in گیزمودو | No comments
Here are leaked images of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 sent to MySmartPrice from a "trusted" source.
Photo: Samsung (via MySmartPrice (Other)
Despite its flaws, I thought the Galaxy Fold was so innovative it was worthy of being named the most important phone of 2019. But now, some new leaked renders of Samsung's next-gen foldable have appeared depicting a phone featuring some major upgrades that address many of its predecessor's shortcomings.
In advance of the Galaxy Z Fold 2's expected official announcement next week at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on August 5, MySmartPrice has published a number of high-res product renders that have given us the clearest look yet at Samsung's next foldable phone. The outlet didn't give an explanation of the renders' provenance beyond the statement that they come from a "trusted source."
The biggest physical change on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G (which is a real mouthful of a name) is the addition of a much larger 6.23-inch cover screen on the outside of the device. That's a huge upgrade from the 4.6-inch cover screen on the original Galaxy Fold, which was intended to allow users to do things like quickly respond to texts, check emails, or look up an address on a map without needing to open the phone to access the larger foldable screen inside.
Unfortunately, because the original Galaxy Fold's cover screen was so small, there was little room to stash apps on the phone's home screen, while typing on a virtual keyboard confined to a screen that small was an exercise in frustration. However, by extending the Z Fold 2's cover screen to take up almost the entire front of the phone, it looks like Samsung has addressed one of the original Fold's biggest cons.
Meanwhile, on the inside of the phone, not only do the renders show a slightly larger 7.7-inch foldable display (up from 7.3-inches on the original Fold), you can also see that Samsung has eliminated the notch that held the original Fold's selfie cameras. Samsung's previous decision to use a notch on the original Fold always struck me as a weird choice because after the company produced multiple ads mocking other phones that featured a notch (most notably the iPhone X), the Fold was actually Samsung's first major phone to feature a notched display.
Instead, while it's hard to see from MySmartPrice's leaked renders, based on other images recently posted by noted leaker Ice Universe, for the Z Fold 2 it appears Samsung is going with a small hole punch selfie camera which should take up much less space while also being a much less in-your-face visual distraction. So that's another weakness of the original Fold solved.
Finally, the leaked renders show significantly smaller bezels surrounding the Z Fold 2's flexible display. This is very significant for a few reasons. The first is that after some reviewers "accidentally" peeled off part of the original Fold's display after mistaking Samsung's protective polymer film (which is an integral part of its flexible screen) as a simple screen protector, Samsung had to pull the phone from the market in order to add a thick plastic bezel around the outside of the Fold that blocked users from seeing the edge of the polymer film. But on the Z Fold 2, it appears Samsung has figured out a different method for hiding the edges of the screen while trying to maximize both durability and usable screen real estate.
Based on these leaked pics, it appears the Z Fold 2 will come in two colors: black and copper.
Sadly, the leaked images don't contain a lot of info about the Z Fold 2's size and weight, which is important because while the original Fold was tolerable to carry around, it was a bit too heavy and chunky for something that was supposed to be a mobile device.
On the inside, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is expected to feature one of Qualcomm's current flagship processors (probably the Snapdragon 865+), along with up to 512GB of storage, triple rear cameras, and full 5G compatibility. The one big remaining downer is that with the Z Fold 2 also expected to cost just shy of $2,000 (just like the original Fold), it seems like Samsung isn't concerned about making its flagship foldable more affordable.
As for the rest of the new gadgets we're expecting to see at Galaxy Unpacked, based on numerous leaks and teases, it appears Samsung is planning to release two versions of the Galaxy Note 20, two versions of the Galaxy Tab S7, a new flagship smartwatch in the Galaxy Watch 3, and a new pair of true wireless earbuds with built-in active noise canceling.
Including the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung is up to a total of five new devices, which is a lot more than what it typically releases during its bi-annual Unpacked showcases. But with Covid-19 having already forced the cancellation of a number of big tradeshows, it probably makes more sense for Samsung to have one big event instead of a number of smaller announcements.
Either way, next week is sure to be jam-packed with new debuts, so check back to Gizmodo on August 5 for more coverage of Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event.

Psychologist Madeline Levine brings together cutting-edge research and thirty years of clinical experience to explode once and for all the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame. Parents, educators, and the media wring their hands about the plight of America's children and teens-soaring rates of emotional problems, limited coping skills, disengagement from learning and yet there are ways to reverse these disheartening trends. Teach Your Children Well acknowledges that every parent wants successful children. However, until we are clearer about our core values and the parenting choices that are most likely to lead to authentic, and not superficial, success, we will continue to raise exhausted, externally driven, impaired children who believe they are only as good as their last performance. Real success is always an inside job, argues Levine, and is measured not by today's report card but by the people our children become fifteen or twenty years down the line.

This brightly-colored Provencal salad of Roasted Peppers calls for just five ingredients. Use best quality olive oil and feel free to dip your challah in the delicious juices left on the plate. Serve with flaked tuna dressed with more of that good olive oil and brightened with a healthy spritz of lemon juice and some cracked black pepper.
Broil or grill peppers until charred on all sides. Place in food-safe plastic bag, twist to close. When cool enough to handle, peel peppers and remove seeds.
Cut into narrow strips, lengthwise and arrange on a serving dish. Sprinkle with the salt, followed by a few grinds of black pepper. Scatter the garlic atop the peppers, drizzle on the oil, and then the lemon juice. Check for seasoning. Serve at room temperature.

The Coyotes need to get Raanta's next contract right
After proving he can be a starting goalie in a stellar second half, Antti Raanta is likely looking to get paid like a starter.
By pucktistic Apr 4, 2018, 1:00pm MST
Share All sharing options for: The Coyotes need to get Raanta's next contract right
With the Coyotes' season winding down this week, attention is fast turning toward the key issues the team management will have to address this offseason to keep the upward trajectory of the team going after their excellent 2018. Key among these issues is the one to be found in net, where Antti Raanta is a free agent this summer as of this moment. His one-year audition with the Coyotes appears to have been immensely successful, with the 29-year-old Finn currently sitting as the best starting goaltender (playing 15 games or more) in the NHL bar none in 2018 – it's no coincidence that his excellent play has been a key factor in Arizona's young team beginning to turn some heads as the season headed from winter into spring.
There was a report that the team had already offered a new multi-year deal to the native of Rauma, Finland, reportedly at an average salary of between 4 and 4.5 million dollars a year, but these have been denied by John Chayka, with the Coyotes GM saying that while the team want to retain him, no official offer has yet been made. This deal, were it anywhere close to the real one would mean, along with Darcy Kuemper's contract, the cap hit for BOTH of AZ's top two goalies next season will be, at most, between 5.8 and 6.3 million. That's cheaper for a goalie tandem than ten NHL teams are paying for their starters alone. Included in that group are teams like Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, New Jersey Devils, Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators, and Washington Capitals.
It's hard to believe that the Coyotes will get that lucky in a deal, though here, for a comparison, are the top paid goalie deals in the NHL – while many of the goalies mentioned above are getting on in years, these are still the benchmarks for a top tier NHL starter contract.
Goalies Paid Above AZ Goalies Combined
Carey Price 2018-2025 G MTL 30 8 $10,500,000 2026
Henrik Lundqvist 2014-2020 G NYR 36 7 $8,500,000 2021

Corey Crawford 2014-2019 G CHI 33 6 $6,000,000 2020
Data from Sportrac.com gathered by Paul Wheeler
Note that with the exception of Braden Holtby and Sergei Bobrovsky all of these players are older than Raanta and Kuemper and are likely set to decline at some point over the next few seasons. The closest comparable in that group to Raanta is Holtby, at $6.1 million a year. Looking at that deal, maybe things start to come into perspective as to how good (and possibly unrealistic) this Raanta contract could be if coming in at $4 million after this season's form, unless that form continues (bear in mind, after all, that this is only Raanta's first year as a starter.)
But wait, as the informercials say, there's more! Here is a list of all the currently active NHL goalies who will be paid more than the figures so far mooted for Raanta's prospective contract next season.
Goalies Above Raanta's potential next contract
Carey Price 2018-2025 G MTL 30 $10,500,000 2026

Craig Anderson 2017-2019 G OTT 36 $4,750,000 2020
*Originally signed by a different team
Now, while it can't be denied that there are some very good goalies there again, look at the ages of some like, Craig Anderson and Roberto Luongo. Consider that Mike Smith is being paid more than the mooted figure for his play now even after Raanta's new contract.
Then consider this. In 2017-18, Antti Raanta ranks above all but one of the goalies in the above list in save percentage this season. Marc-Andre Fleury is the only one who tops him. He ranks, in fact, third in the entire NHL in his first season as a starter. When you put Raanta's contract offer like that, it goes beyond becoming a mere bargain. It becomes highway robbery. It also becomes more unlikely that Raanta will settle for it.
There is a ray of hope here, however, his comparables. Raanta is 28 years old and other goalies that signed deals at around the same age include Martin Jones, Steve Mason, Scott Darling, Cam Talbot, Devan Dubnyk, Fleury, Jaroslav Halak, and Jimmy Howard. According to CapFriendly.com all of these deals have an annual average value that ranges between $4.1 and $5.750 million dollars and term between 2-6 years. Even though the reported deal isn't accurate it is certainly in the realm of possibility. Granted some of those deals have worked better than others but that's the risk with any signing.
Realistically, though, in a free-agency climate when genuinely strong goalies are at a premium. In fact, the top 2018 FA's in net besides Raanta are Jonathan Bernier, Kari Lehtonen and Ondrej Pavelec. Among those names Raanta could probably name his price, with a deal with any real term on it likely being nearer $5 million and possibly beyond it.
What are the options?
Aside from committing to Raanta as their defined starter for the next few years which gives security but risks overpayment, the Coyotes could in theory go for another one- or two-year bridge deal. This could spread the risk for them a little more thinly, especially as they are deep in net with Adin Hill, Hunter Miska, and Merrick Madsen all fighting for time.
This deal, however, risks having to find big money for Raanta just as he hits the wrong side of 30 or decide whether to cut ties with him at his peak in the hope his performance will go down in the worst case scenario. It also risks Raanta deciding to test free agency in the hope one of the teams struggling in net will risk a large chunk of their cap this season, which could set back the rebuild.
It does, however, allow both the breathing space and momentum of the team to continue unchecked while still allowing Hill and Miska, both of whom look incredibly promising prospects, to continue their climb towards NHL starter level without being pushed into the crucible of the crease too soon, and potentially increases the bargaining power and options of the Yotes down the road – if the form continues as it has for Raanta he can still take his big FA payday in two years regardless, but if it's not in Arizona, the team have a ready-made replacement.
Right now, the best deal for the team – probably for all parties, in fact - would be a bridge, perhaps of around $4 million a year. A bridge deal like that gives short-term security, makes sure Raanta gets rewarded for his stellar work this season and continues to leave him with the option of an even bigger payday down the road.
The one thing the Coyotes can't do is get trapped into an expensive long-term contract. The NHL is changing in the way it evaluates goaltenders and their value, and Arizona has plenty of long-term options. The last thing they need to do in these negotiations is panic too much and overpay.
If they can walk that tightrope and get Raanta re-signed quickly with such a deal, that would be the ideal outcome. Realistically, though, they may have to pay out a little more in cap-hit than they'd ideally like. Now more than ever is not a time to stint when it comes to writing the checks, though.
It's going to be an interesting few months at the negotiating table for both sides and the deal could take on many different forms. It needs to be one that works for the Coyotes long-term as well as in the now.


Jazz fan Mason Nichols is outside EnergySolutions Arena offering some free advice to coach Tyrone Corbin from the corner of 300 West and South Temple.
Nichols came to the arena to give this pro-Favors demonstration despite not having tickets to Game 3 tonight between the Jazz and Spurs.
"I'm too poor," Nichols said.
Favors only played an average of 23.5 minutes for the Jazz in the blowout losses at the AT&T Center this past Sunday and Wednesday. Favors has a plus-six while he's on the court while the Jazz were minus-51 with him on the bench. Favors is fourth in the team in playoff scoring at 8.0 points per game, but he leads the Jazz in rebounding with 8.5 boards per contest.
So, fans, is Mr. Nichols correct? More Favors? Or has Corbin played him the right amount?
It's Favors thirty already. Lets Go Jazz!

2nd High-Stakes Trial Involving Roundup Cancer Claims Begins
Filed Under:Cancer, Edwin Hardeman, Monsanto, Roundup
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF / AP) — A jury in federal court in San Francisco will decide whether Roundup weed killer caused a California man's cancer in a trial starting Monday that plaintiffs' attorneys say could help determine the fate of hundreds of similar lawsuits.
Edwin Hardeman, 70, is the second plaintiff to go to trial of thousands around the country who claim agribusiness giant Monsanto's weed killer causes cancer.
Monsanto says studies have established that the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, is safe.
"There is a mountain of evidence," Hardeman's attorney, Brent Wisner, said outside court. "This company needs to get straight and be honest with its customers and say, listen, there is evidence it's associated with cancer and let people make a choice about whether or not they use the product."
A San Francisco jury in August awarded Dewayne Johnson, a former Benicia Unified School District groundskeeper, $289 million after determining Roundup caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A judge later slashed the award to $78 million, and Monsanto has appealed.
Hardeman's trial is before a different judge and may be more significant. U.S. Judge Vince Chhabria is overseeing hundreds of Roundup lawsuits and has deemed Hardeman's case and two others "bellwether trials."
"If we are able to succeed here then it really sends a signal to Monsanto and specifically to Bayer that they have a real problem," Wisner said.
The outcome of bellwether cases can help attorneys decide whether to continue fighting similar suits in court or settle them. A jury verdict in favor of Hardeman and the other test plaintiffs would give their attorneys a strong bargaining position in any settlement talks for the remaining cases before Chhabria, said David Levine, a professor at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law who has followed the Roundup litigation.
Thousands of other Roundup lawsuits are pending in state courts around the country.
Many government regulators have rejected a link between cancer and glyphosate. Monsanto has vehemently denied such a connection, saying hundreds of studies have established that the chemical is safe.
Monsanto developed glyphosate in the 1970s, and the weed killer is now sold in more than 160 countries and widely used in the U.S.
The herbicide came under increasing scrutiny after the France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization, classified it as a "probable human carcinogen" in 2015.
Lawsuits against Monsanto followed. Monsanto has attacked the international research agency's opinion as an outlier. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says glyphosate is safe for people when used in accordance with label directions.
Hardeman started using Roundup products to treat poison oak, overgrowth and weeds on his 56-acre Sonoma County property in the 1980s and continued using them through 2012, according to his attorneys. He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2015.
In a setback for Hardeman, Chhabria issued a ruling last month breaking his trial up into two phases. Hardeman's attorneys will first have to convince jurors that his use of Roundup caused his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma before they can make arguments for punitive damages.
The trial is expected to last about a month.

Enjoy the Upcoming 4th of July Holiday!
With summer comes lots of celebratory activities from graduations to weddings to church picnics. All fun stuff, and though we don't want to miss a moment of it, it sure does seem far to easy to stay busy all summer. Which makes the summer go by far too quickly.
Before summer escapes, take time to consider that it's okay to not go to every, single event. It's okay to stop and just be once in a while too. Often, actually.
Right now, with summer just beginning, take a minute to schedule time to just be. Time to sit on the deck and feel the summer breeze. Time to go for a walk. Time to lay in a hammock in the shade. Time to just know that God is God no matter what's going on in your life.

Someone recently asked me what my number one vanlife hack is. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with lots of little tips and tricks that I figured out over the last 14 months living in my van, so I thought I'd do a blog post about it.
Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to live in a different kind of world. A world that's better for all of us, every single one of us.
The first proper weekend trip with Josie the Van since driving her up from Christchurch last months and I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
One of the many things that are exciting about owning a camper van is that I get a chance to be creative and do little DIY projects to make Josie even better and give her a bit more personality.
The first thing I did is improve the bed / seating area.

" Pellaeon said stiffly.
C'baoth smiled. "You may believe that if you wish. But to business—true Imperial business. When the battle here is over, Captain Pellaeon, I want a message sent to Wayland."
"Announcing your imminent return, no doubt," Pellaeon said sourly. C'baoth had been insisting for nearly a month now that he would soon be going back to his former home on Wayland, where he would take command of the cloning facility in the Emperor's old storehouse inside Mount Tantiss. So far, he'd been too busy trying to subvert Thrawn's position to do anything more than talk about it.
"Do not worry, Captain Pellaeon," C'baoth said, all amused again. "When the time is right, I will indeed return to Wayland. Which is why you will contact Wayland after this battle is over and order them to create a clone for me. A very special clone."
Grand Admiral Thrawn will have to authorize that, were the words that came to mind. "What kind do you want?" were the ones that inexplicably came out. Pellaeon blinked, running the memory over in his mind again. Yes, that was what he'd said, all right.
C'baoth smiled again at his silent confusion. "I merely wish a servant," he said. "Someone who will be waiting there for me when I return. Formed from one of the Emperor's prize souvenirs—sample B-2332-54, I believe it was. You will, of course, impress upon the garrison commander there that this must be done in total secrecy."
I will do nothing of the sort. "Yes," Pellaeon heard himself say instead. The sound of the word shocked him; but certainly he didn't mean it. On the contrary, as soon as the battle was over he'd be reporting this little incident directly to Thrawn.
"You will also keep this conversation a private matter between ourselves," C'baoth said lazily. "Once you have

Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out, Tenth Anniversary Edition
Kids Living and Learning with New Media
Mizuko Ito, Sonja Baumer, Matteo Bittanti, danah boyd, Rachel Cody, Becky Herr Stephenson, Heather A. Horst, Patricia G. Lange, Dilan Mahendran, Katynka Z. Martínez, C. J. Pascoe, Dan Perkel, Laura Robinson, Christo Sims, and Lisa Tripp 2019
The tenth-anniversary edition of a foundational text in digital media and learning, examining new media practices that range from podcasting to online romantic breakups.
Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out, first published in 2009, has become a foundational text in the field of digital media and learning. Reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people live and learn with new media in varied settings—at home, in after-school programs, and in online spaces—it presents a flexible and useful framework for understanding the ways that young people engage with and through online platforms: hanging out, messing around, and geeking out, otherwise known as HOMAGO.
Integrating twenty-three case studies—which include Harry Potter podcasting, video-game playing, music sharing, and online romantic breakups—in a unique collaborative authorship style, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out combines in-depth descriptions of specific group dynamics with conceptual analysis. Since its original publication, digital learning labs in libraries and museums around the country have been designed around the HOMAGO mode and educators have created HOMAGO guidebooks and toolkits. This tenth-anniversary edition features a new introduction by Mizuko Ito and Heather Horst that discusses how digital youth culture evolved in the intervening decade, and looks at how HOMAGO has been put into practice.
This book was written as a collaborative effort by members of the Digital Youth Project, a three-year research effort funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California.
Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out
An examination of young people's everyday new media practices—including video-game playing, text-messaging, digital media production, and social media use.
Conventional wisdom about young people's use of digital technology often equates generational identity with technology identity: today's teens seem constantly plugged in to video games, social networking sites, and text messaging. Yet there is little actual research that investigates the intricate dynamics of youths' social and recreational use of digital media. Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out fills this gap, reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after-school programs, and in online spaces.
Integrating twenty-three case studies—which include Harry Potter podcasting, video-game playing, music sharing, and online romantic breakups—in a unique collaborative authorship style, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out is distinctive for its combination of in-depth description of specific group dynamics with conceptual analysis.

Summary of Findings from the Digital Youth Project
Mizuko Ito, Heather A. Horst, Matteo Bittanti, danah boyd, Becky Herr Stephenson, Patricia G. Lange, C. J. Pascoe, and Laura Robinson 2009
This report summarizes the results of an ambitious three-year ethnographic study, funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after school programs, and in online spaces. It offers a condensed version of a longer treatment provided in the book Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out (MIT Press, 2009). The authors present empirical data on new media in the lives of American youth in order to reflect upon the relationship between new media and learning. In one of the largest qualitative and ethnographic studies of American youth culture, the authors view the relationship of youth and new media not simply in terms of technology trends but situated within the broader structural conditions of childhood and the negotiations with adults that frame the experience of youth in the United States.
The book that this report summarizes was written as a collaborative effort by members of the Digital Youth Project, a three-year research effort funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California.

The Machinima Reader
Henry Lowood and Michael Nitsche 2011
The first critical overview of an emerging field, with contributions from both scholars and artist-practitioners.
Over the last decade, machinima—the use of computer game engines to create movies—has emerged as a vibrant area in digital culture. Machinima as a filmmaking tool grew from the bottom up, driven by enthusiasts who taught themselves to deploy technologies from computer games to create animated films quickly and cheaply. The Machinima Reader is the first critical overview of this rapidly developing field. The contributors include both academics and artist-practitioners. They explore machinima from multiple perspectives, ranging from technical aspects of machinima, from real-time production to machinima as a performative and cinematic medium, while paying close attention to the legal, cultural, and pedagogical contexts for machinima. The Machinima Reader extends critical debates originating within the machinima community to a wider audience and provides a foundation for scholarly work from a variety of disciplines. This is the first book to chart the emergence of machinima as a game-based cultural production that spans technologies and media, forming new communities of practice on its way to a history, an aesthetic, and a market.

What to Read When You're Going Through A Friend Breakup
Literature can help you work through emotions, or just make you feel better. Here's what to read when you lose a friend.
JR Ramakrishnan
Endings abound in adult life. Some finales — the end of a love affair or the loss of a job — will elicit much tea and sympathy. There's an established language to talk about such things; friends and family make time to be supportive, and they know what to say. The break-up of a friendship, however, usually doesn't get quite the same amount of airtime, love, and comfort. When you are little, wailing to your mother about your BFF not wanting to play with you is acceptable, but once you're grown, you're supposed to approach this kind of loss with equanimity. Yet the end of a friendship can cleave the heart as much as the splintering of an intimate relationship. There's no sex, usually, but you do so much else together. Then you grow apart, or perhaps the toxic rot creeps in. Even when it's a little bit of a relief to reach the end, though, there's still a lonely gap in your soul.
In my adult life, I've had three friend splits. In two of them, I was the one left, bewildered (though I accepted, in time, my role in these demises). The last, I was the one doing the leaving. It was as lacerating as the first two, especially as she gained custody of our friend group. As therapeutic practitioners who use the ancient curative methods of bibliotherapy and all readers since the beginning of time know, fiction can provide salve — and salvation. Although novels have offered much balm for me, I came belatedly to Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend and wished I'd had it earlier as medicine.
I came belatedly to Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend" and wished I'd had it earlier as medicine.
In deceptively straightforward prose, Ferrante shapes and reshapes of the energy and internalities of friendship. I suspect many people, women and men, have had these all-consuming attachments in childhood and beyond. Ferrante conjures the beauty of such ties, which amid the friend break-up can be soothing and cathartic in a nostalgic way. Lila and Elena are delightful in their daring (Lila's mostly) and joint adventuring, which offer vicarious thrills and escapist company, both helpful in the aftermath of a friend loss. Then, there's the complicated world of post-WWII Italy and the peculiarities of Naples to be absorbed and transformed by. But even more analgesic for your sad, mad heart, I feel, is Ferrante's rendition of the wretched, simmering contest that this sort of closeness can entail.
The frenemy-ship between the very bad and very smart Lila and the more tentative but also brilliant and wicked Elena begins in childhood and stretches through adulthood in Ferrante's four epics. In My Brilliant Friend, books and a curiosity about the world tie the girls to each other in their working-class Naples neighborhood. One of their planned childhood joint ventures is the co-writing of a novel. Lila ends up completing it by herself, but it's Elena who becomes the novelist as an adult. Elena gets to go middle school, but dropout Lila learns Greek on her own and tutors Elena. "Would she always do the things I was supposed to do, before and better than me? She eluded me when I followed her and meanwhile stayed close on my heels in order to pass me by?" Elena laments. But Elena is no uncomplicated darling herself. She steals Lila's idea for an essay and much more for fictional fodder later on in the series.
Life (via Ferrante's authorial hand) deals the cards unevenly. Lila is brilliant but suffers the locked, provincial minds of her parents, who refuse to let her continue her education. Elena's intelligence, which perhaps falls short of Lila's otherworldly genius, is rewarded but even in her youth, she's aware of her existential hole. As an adult, she goes on to enjoy a more bourgeois existence and success, but she's remains naggingly empty. Still, she has the literary fame, of which both dreamt. My Brilliant Friend shifted me between Lila's and Elena's shoes — and it was hard to be aligned with either one for too long. They are both equally wretched and mildly evil in their own ways. This was both comforting (people are like that sometimes) and disconcerting (if you can't even trust your BFF, who can you trust?). While I've not had a friendship as lengthy and as convoluted as theirs — which lasts through lovers, literary success, and a lost daughter — the dynamic was familiar.
The quiet awfulness of the girls' platonic, competitive hate/lust riveted me. I revisited my lost friendships, all of which shared the closeness and flame of Lila and Elena's bond. I'd long accepted closure on them but Ferrante's characters made me feel lucky for the travels — actual ones to their childhood homes and mine, and places like Tunisia, New York, and Istanbul, and imaginative journeys in art, literature, and music — that I'd had with these ex-friends. But recalling the tiny bits of dysfunction, which were not unlike Lila and Elena's minor aggressions towards each other, that grew into mountains of angst, I was thrilled these episodes now belonged to the past. The novel serves as a reminder of the massive energy suck of passive-aggressiveness dodged.
Elena's narration of the friendship also offers a reflective surface, from which to view your own behavior. You don't have to take the BS, like the competitive intellectual jousting or thieving that passes as friendship between Lila and Elena. Nor do you have to mete it out. Whether you exercised your agency in your current breakup or not, you're free to do so going forward. Upon finishing the book, which will be a HBO show this fall, the real peace and solace I savored came from the gratitude for these endings — and for the absence of toxicity in my enduring ride-or-die friendships.
Tangerine by Christine Mangan
Mid-century Tangier, rendered as hazy (and, perhaps inevitably, Orientalist), is the backdrop for the reunion of former Bennington roommates, Lucy and Alice. Both characters narrate unreliably in "she said, she said" alternating chapters. Their suspect past and the claustrophobic present unspool in disquieting fashion. It's Single White Female but abroad, or The Talented Mr. Ripley but with ladies. George Clooney has optioned it and a celluloid take, starring Scarlett Johansson, is forthcoming.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
A spectacular and truly obsessive novel about Classics, murder, and a nerdy and mostly privileged friend crew. The murder, revealed on page one, will turn out to be the least of the whole drama. The novel charts the fraying of the sometimes cultish group friendship bond, which can crack your heart several times over since multiple, overlapping bonds are in play.
Sir Vidia's Shadow: A Friendship Across Five Continents by Paul Theroux
Having not been offended by V.S Naipaul's off-color ways in their three-decade-long friendship, Paul Theroux airs the laundry in this bitchy memoir of a literary romance. Even after calling some of the Nobel Laureate's work "silly and unreadable" in print, a reconciliation between the two took place before Naipaul's recent death. If these two can make it back to each other, never say never about any friend breakup.
