Kyle Okposo: "We're growing as a team and we want to continue to grow."
"The (Sharks) have always been a team that plays extremely fast. They're probably one of the fastest teams; we've talked about their defense and transition, how they get up into the play. I thought our guys played a real good 200-foot game tonight.
We kept the puck deep. We didn't make 'hope' plays in the offensive zone, and we eliminated our turnovers. We just did a lot of little things and intangibles throughout the game that I hope will be ingrained in our guys as we move forward."

My cat Supie has terrified my sister's poodle Annie to the point where he only has to lift his paw and her dog runs away screaming in terror. I told my sis that Annie's worst nightmare is an overdressed fiend with razor claws!
I can just picture Supie raising his paw...I feel bad for Annie... Thanks for sharing!


Considering that skin is the body's largest organ, it can require a lot of care. A skin injury not healing properly may need wound care. A wound that did heal but left an unsightly or painful scar may benefit from a scar revision. Bryn Mawr, Newtown Square, and Philadelphia-area patients should know that while many skin problems can be treated by a dermatologist, some require a surgeon's care.
Dr. Laura Gowen performs surgical procedures that focus on aesthetics, comfort, and health related to the skin.
Contact Cirillo Center for Plastic Surgery to learn more or to schedule your consultation for skin surgeries, like wound care and scar revision, in the Bryn Mawr, Newtown Square, and Philadelphia area. Call 610.525.0500 or visit our Contact Us page.
What Does Scar Revision Involve?
Note that scar revision to address hypertrophic scars deals with scars that have stayed within their initial borders, but grew wider and thicker than a typical scar. A keloid scar is considered pathologic and grows past the scar's original borders.
These scars are sometimes associated with an itching, burning, and even painful sensation.
Scar revision involves Dr. Gowen excising the unwanted scar and closing the tissue in a layered fashion so that it heals with less of a noticeable line. A particularly tight scar or a burn scar might require scar revision in the form of a Z-plasty, which can loosen and change the direction of a scar by way of a flap, elongating or rotating it to make it less visible. This scar revision can also relieve tension that causes discomfort at the site of the scar.
Steroid injections are often used prior to or instead of a scar revision, since they can flatten and shrink hypertrophic or keloid scars.
An injury that will not heal on its own may require surgical wound care. Dr. Gowen and her team can provide basic guidance and care for patients suffering from this problem, whether due to trauma, prior surgeries, or vascular problems. Hygiene to prevent infection is key, and if possible, the wound can be closed to speed up the healing process.
What Does Skin Grafting Involve?
One of the first rungs on the reconstructive ladder is skin grafting, a technique that facilitates closure and healing for wounds, burns, and regions where tumors have been removed. If the impacted area is too large to heal on its own, Dr. Gowen may take skin from a donor site elsewhere on the body to create a graft and encourage the skin to develop new blood vessels and provide protection and aesthetic benefit in its recipient site. She primarily uses tissue from the thigh, though grafts for the face could come from a crease in the neck or behind the ear.
What Does Flap Surgery Involve?
Flap surgery is also used to close areas that wouldn't otherwise heal. Muscle or musculocutaneous flaps may help with knee replacement wounds, for instance, or in soft tissues where tumors have been removed, such as the breast. Similar to skin grafting, tissue is moved from a donor site to a recipient site, but in this case, blood vessels are preserved and transported with the tissue.
Small flaps are also often used in MOHS reconstruction, where cancerous tissue has been removed on the face.
This is frequently a required biopsy in melanoma diagnoses. Lymph nodes are taken for pathological examination as required in suspected cases of skin cancer that meet certain staging criteria. More about this procedure can be explained in a consultation.
Patients whose scar revision or other skin health and aesthetic needs do not require surgery can talk with their doctors about less invasive options, including dermal fillers and laser skin resurfacing.
Dr. Laura Gowen and the team at Cirillo Center for Plastic Surgery are ready to talk to you about skin surgeries, such as wound care or scar revision. Bryn Mawr, Newtown Square, and Philadelphia-area patients can learn more or schedule a consultation by calling 610.525.0500 or visiting our Contact Us page.


Dating: No Filter is a reality television show that comprises of men and women willing to go on a blind date. The result is purely based on the individuals involved. While the focus was on men and women from Los Angeles, CA, they were not limiting on ethnicity. In reference to age, everyone within the age bracket of 21 and 55 could participate. Creating a buzz in the entertainment industry, the following are 10 things you did not know about Dating No Filter.
Everyone who is accepted into the show does not have to worry about spending their own cash. The show is fully sponsored. The expectations are that it should have been a fun all-expense paid blind date. All members have to do is relax and get to know potential lovers.
Dating no filter is diverse and it accepts the different types of sexuality. It is not just about straight people. They also incorporate gay people looking to find love. Many other dating reality television shows tend to stick to one aspect of sexuality.
Throughout all the episodes, you will be exposed to a lot of humor. This is because there is a set of three pairs of some outspoken comedians following the singles, especially on their first dates. They will dish out the highlights of the dates. This adds to the reason why this reality show has captured the attention of many. Some popular comedian names include Ben Bizuneh, Zach Noe Towers, Nina Parker, and Rocky Dale Davis.
The whole idea is to try and match the players according to the information they provided earlier. They do not get to choose who they go out on dates with and neither do they get to know who has been picked for them prior to the date. Every aspect rotates around a blind date.
Just as the name of the reality show suggests, the show does not have any filters. Just as they share the good moments, so will they share the ugly moments. Dating is not easy and while letting out the bad sides will not be any easier, this show will place it out raw. The show is not meant to make believe aspects about dating but about making it as real as it can.
People expect that love and romance will be the main theme on blind dates and on shows like this. However, Dating No Filter comes with a twist that many did not expect. Some paired couples did not even spark on their first date but rather caused drama right from the very start.
While many fans wanted to know what happened to the couples after the show, there was no strict follow up on the event. They however gathered information about the dates prior to completion of the show.
The focus on this show was on dating for many fans but the reality is that it was meant to create a balance between the dating arena and the comedy aspect. This is the only reason that the hosts of the show had a background in comedy.
When looking at the different personal portfolio, you will be amazed at what they have to offer especially when looking at the different professionals. Ranging from a puppeteer, DJs, fitness instructors, singers, actors, entertainers, and even underwear salesman just to mention n but a few, there is a lot going on.
This reality television show, Dating No Filter is produced by Lime Pictures a name that despite its popularity shocked many for the production.
Not in any specific order of importance, the above are the 10 things you did not know about Dating No Filter. This blind date reality show adds a touch of comedy that gives you a reason to keep watching every episode. There is no way of telling where the storyline will take you so all you can do is build the suspense.

Weekend Special: Religious Right Politicians Must Go!
"I wish I could say more about it, but it's working precisely because it works." -- President Ronald Reagan in 1985 referring to The Family (aka The Fellowship), the large, secret dominionist cult, operating at your expense throughout our government
President George W. Bush received and still receives all of his spiritual counseling from a Family member. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia prays regularly with Family members, as did former Justice William Rehnquist, and no doubt others. "Praying" in groups is what the Family calls a meeting, since its members are primarily profiteers who don't even have to be christian to join ...

The Rhetoric of American Fundamentalism Fuels White Supremacy
"We will not be turned around by the religion of hatred, bigotry, and bias." -- Cornell William Brooks, NAACP National President, today
"We need to look at our country's original sin. Our founding fathers were liberators from the crown but they didn't liberate black folks." -- Radio Host, Peter Dominick
Heinous acts such as what transpired this week in Charleston, South Carolina, underscore the role christian fundamentalism plays in the culture of white supremacy. Although there are some non-white fundamentalists, it is their white counterparts, the majority, who are primarily engaged in ...

The Christian Fundamentalist's Erotic Dream
"[T]he erotic dream of Amreican fundamentalism: a restoration of chivalry, a cleansing of impurity, a nation without sin, an empire of the personal as political." From Jeff Sharlet's The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power (2009)
This dream is especially important to understand, particularly as we await the pending Supreme Court decision that is likely to authorize federal same-sex marriage without interference from the states. Either way the court goes, this singular decision promises to further divide the christian right from everyone else. This dream, this sexual fantasy, helps explain the root of the intense, ...

From The U.S. Capitol to Kampala, Uganda, the Dominionist Cult Called The Family Runs Deep
The large and secretive dominionist cult called The Family (aka The Fellowship), through the agency of thousands of its American members, view foreign nations, especially developing nations, as more fertile ground than Main Street to pursue their culture wars, but it goes so much deeper than that. Practically every country in the world has been targeted by The Family to be made over as experiments in faith-based initiatives aimed at establishing theocratic regimes throughout the world for one purpose: to reap maximum profits for their members, who don't even have to be christian as long as they fulfill ...
A Further Introduction to the Cult Known as The Family or The Fellowship
"The love of power--world changing power, messianic power--is not an American invention; but our civil religion, the belief that such a move can coexist peacefully with both God and democracy is." [Jeff Sharlet, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power (2009)] Following up my related posts last week (linked below), here is the first in a promised series of short articles attempting a rounded introduction to The Family (aka The Fellowship) in the form of Opinion-Editorials for educational purposes.

Support Americans United for the Separation of Church and State
I will be continuing in this space to demonstrate how American Dominionism -- a political and religious philosophy calling for the end of rule of law and replacing it with (their skewed version of) "god's law" -- is poisoning our democracy with a total disregard for the separation of church and state. Today, I would like you, if you haven't already, to become familiar with and support the great work being done by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State (au.org). Their website is a must-read for anyone who cares how our democracy is being ...

Scaling Back Scalia
Headlined at Salon.com today, author and The Atlantic contributor, Jeffrey Tayler, has an excellent piece, "Antonin Scalia is unfit to serve: A justice who rejects science and the law for religion is of unsound mind." Although Tayler takes a somewhat sardonic approach, he digs deep to expose the complete hypocrisy and ignorance that undergirds dominionists such as Scalia, and how they are destroying our democracy. Taylor's apt name for dominionism is faith-derangement syndrome (or FDS). It is real and a cause for urgent action. No matter what you call it or what you are advocating for ...

#StopDominionism in Government Now!
Dominionism, particularly the virulent American Fundamentalist brand of Dominionism, is a political and religious philosophy that pervades the U.S. government and governments around the world. This philosophy calls for the end of rule by man to be replaced with (their version) of god's law.
Many of the GOP presidential candidates and incumbents in House and Senate up for re-election, for decades and in 2016, are dominionists. We (you and I) are responsible for allowing them to seep into our democracy and cause it to rot from within. Their religious commitment to an Ayn-Rand-styled nightmare theocracy takes precedence over all ...
Purge 70% of U.S. House of Representatives incumbents, just like they did in 1816
This coming 2016 election will mark the 200th anniversary of the largest single purge of incumbent U.S. Representatives, the "highest rate of turnover in any congressional election in American history." Back then, these congressmen were raising their pay while showing cruel indifference to starving, dying New Englanders, whose "Year Without A Summer" in 1816 (and subsequent bad years) practically led to the exodus now known as the State of Ohio. Disgust at the ballot box led to this, but how would we handle, engineer, a similar purge in 2016? What catastrophe or circumstance could cause this to happen in 18 months? ...
Case In Point: Dominionist Santorum Takes On The Pope
Dominionism is a cult based on a political philosophy that seeks to make the U.S. government a christian theocracy. It's been a force in America since the first Puritans, and it's succeeding in undermining our democracy, now more than ever. We can laugh at the exposure of the dominionist cult called Quivverful worshipped by the Duggar family, but these cults are no joke because they mean to bury American law and replace it with (their twisted version of) god's law. The stakes are as high as they have ever been because many white, male politicians seeking power right now ...

The Supra, as I told you recently, is now revealed to the public eye. But despite us waiting years for this to happen, Toyota are still dropping bitesize chunks of information to keep us talking about it. It feels like us writers are the mice to Toyota's cheese which is being dropped a slither at a time and we're all running around their kitchen eager to bite down on the filling treat.
Well, this cheese is strong. Some may not like it, while others are already helping themselves to a drop of an accompanying red wine. Let us know in our new forum as to which side you're on.
As the Supra is more or less joined at the hip of the BMW Z5, it carries with it the myriad of BMW engines available. And while it's been suspected that the Supra will at some point acquire them, it's now been confirmed that two of BMW's turbocharged four-cylinder units will soon find themselves behind the Supra badge. The more powerful of the two produces around 80bhp less than the six-cylinder, but will still be attached to the same 8-speed ZF dual clutch and, according to Tada-san, it will be lighter with better weight distribution. 0-62 will come in at 5.2 seconds.
Like the GT86, it will be agile, and have a better turn in than the comparatively heavier nosed original. Spec it with the lower-powered engine, and it will sit right on top of the GT86 with 200bhp over the GT86's 197. Performance sits slightly higher due to the advantages of the auto 'box.
So, this leaves us with a difficult question. If the Supra is going to be fighting the same battles as the GT86, why should they bother keeping both cars in their dealers? This base model Supra could indeed kill off Toyota's entry-level sports car, but Toyota would be stupid to go through with it.
The base model Supra will never be relieving itself of its automatic gearbox – one of the many reasons as to why the Supra will always be more expensive than its older brother which stands at a healthy £25,000. I doubt the Supra will ever fall below £30,000. The GT86 is also wasted when specced with an automatic 'box. And that's what separates these cars into completely different markets.
The GT86 has always been a sports car through and through. Fight with it, enjoy the feeling of driving fast with a clutch at your foot and a manual in hand. The Supra however, to me, feels like its previous iterations. Perfectly capable, but in essence a Gran Tourer.
Please Toyota, don't give up your manual. There is a market and we're screaming at you. We love the Supra, but don't take our GT86 away. Maybe try the Celica name instead?
Discuss it in our forum!


Tampa Police are searching for one of two bicyclists after shots were fired during a traffic stop early Wednesday.
According to officers, the traffic stop involved two people on bicycles at Central Avenue and Floribraska Avenue just after midnight.
During the traffic stop, one person produced a gun and fired shots at officers, according to police. No officers were injured. Officials said two guns were found at the scene.
Police returned fire before one of the people, 19-year-old Israel Magwood, was apprehended. The second person escaped and is being sought.
Magwood has been charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling, resisting an officer without violence and loitering and/or prowling. Additional charges are pending as the investigation continues.
Police said Magwood is not being cooperative but authorities said they likely know the identity of the second person.
