Looking for an Eiffel Tower view on a budget? This convent-turned-hotel might just do the trick.
Pros: Great location. Four rooms with Eiffel Tower views. Warmly decorated. Reasonable rates.
Cons: Small, basic rooms.
Situated on the tranquil rue du Gros Caillou, the two-star Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche offers simple and standard rooms at quite reasonable rates for the neighborhood. Indeed, the big draw here is location. And, true to its name, the hotel has four (highly coveted!) rooms with views of the Eiffel Tower (request these well in advance).
As for the actual rooms, well… did we mention the hotel used to be a convent? (We're serious.) Rooms are small, but they're clean and will do the trick for unfussy travelers. Dressed in burgundy and golden hues, they're outfitted with wooden headboards, desks and perky reading lights, along with a fan, flat-screen television and telephone. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
The renovated bathrooms are decked out with marble sinks and new hairdryers. Bathtubs are available.
The courtyard, painted in a sunny yellow wash and furnished with bistro tables, reminded us of easy, breezy days in the South of France. Everything else is pretty cute and tight, from the small winding stairwell to the (typically) tiny elevator.
A buffet breakfast is available for €12, although the neighborhood has no shortage of small cafes and patisseries.

About the Hotel Eiffel Rive Gauche neighborhood
Many of the surrounding streets offer up storybook views of the Eiffel Tower, still the tallest building in Paris. Another striking monument is the 18-carat-gold dome of the Invalides, that glimmers along the Seine's left bank, just east of the Eiffel Tower. Notable museums include the Musée d'Orsay, the Musée Rodin and the Musée du Quai Branly.

Mad about Being Mislead by the HTC One Review
Usually I go to multiple websites for reviews. Theverge used to have to good reviews, so I usually note their opinions on hardware. When it comes to battery life, it takes a while for precise testing results to be released, so I pay close heed to what theverge says about it. Or used to. With their review, they labeled the HTC One as having terrible battery life, also giving it a 5 in that category and labeling it as one of its main cons. However, as precise testing came out, such as that from gsmarena, it has been proven that the HTC One has great battery life. In fact, it has better battery life than the iPhone 5 which theverge loves so much. Even with many others like myself pointing this out to the editors, they have only made a small update to the article where they stand firm with their debasement of the HTC One's battery. It is one thing to say something wrong. But it is another to stand by it for no professional reason. I know some haters will say "if you don't like it, then go read on another website." I've grown fond of theverge, and have liked some of the staff since their engadget days. But after many inconsistently bad articles and reviews, I guess I just find myself at a loss.

There's Not Much to These Very Good Girls

In his ghoulish documentary, director Eric Steel examines the Golden Gate's dubious honor as the world's most popular suicide destination. Steel trained cameras on the bridge throughout 2004, watching for jumpers; 24 people obliged. In most cases, the director has the last pathetic snippet of the jumper's life on tape: a tiny human blur plummeting out of the frame, followed by an off-camera splash andnothing. In their wake, the movie dutifully visits survivor after survivordazed roommates, stunned family, unlucky witnesses. But the banal remembered particulars are less upsettingand less revealing, in a suggestive waythan the affectless glimpses of the soon-to-be-departed through Steel's long-range lenses. They could be anyone else on the bridge, right up to the moment they bypass some circuit breaker of survival instinct that keeps the rest of us on the other side of the rail. Equally disturbing, in this context, are the shots of unidentified tourists, walkers, and gawkers who stop to look over the side, then pause just a second longerplainly hearing, if only for an instant, the siren song of the undertow.

Arrived at the table a deep dark brown with two fingers of mocha-colored head.
Aroma of vanilla, dark fruit, coffee and toasted malts.
Tastes of sweet vanilla up front, with weak coffee, toasted malts and dark berry as it warms. Finish is clean.
Mouthfeel was surprisingly thin and wet with a lighter carbonation.
I liked this one but wish it had been a tad creamier.

From notes. Had on tap at Schlafly Taproom.
Was about halfway between a vanilla milkshake and a great shot of vanilla vodka, but without the alcohol. Aroma was sweet and roasty, with milk chocolate and vanilla notes. Taste follows but the vanilla was more pronounced but not overblown. Chocolate notes as well.
Slick and sweet, very true to style. I doubt many will ever have this one, but the ones that do are quite lucky as it's very tasty.

Enjoyed at the Schlafly tap room this evening.
Pours beautiful dark as night with a creamy 1.5 finger head.
The smell is roasted coffee, sweet chocolate, and vanilla.
Taste is like the nose, sweet vanilla and chocolate... Bittersweet chocolate and espresso on the finish.
I loved this!! Not to sweet but balanced well... A little sweetness with the rich espresso flavor was perfect! If you are lucky enough to get to the Tap Room to try this before it's gone.. Have a pint!

Enjoyed on-tap @ The Schlafly Tap Room in St. Louis, MO for $4.25. Tapped from a Non-Labeled Stainless Steel Tap Handle into an Imperial Pint Glass.
Aroma- Has tons of roastiness in the aroma but mostly clean and sweet. Chocolate notes come in towards the end that are AWESOME! Telling by this aroma, I'm extremely excited to keep going!
Appearance- Received with a 1 finger, dark brown head that had average retention. The body was a dark brown, semi-clear color. Left very thick lacing behind.
Flavor- Vanilla was huge in the beginning of the drink. Then nice roast and chocolate comes in towards the middle. Finishes with a light-medium bitterness and very sweet (even though very roasty). Will say it is a bit on the dry side... No worries.
Mouthfeel- Full Bodied, Light Carbonation, Creamy, and has the nicest vanilla finish I've ever experienced in a stout! Fantastic!
Overall Impression- I'm immediately buying a Growler of this after enjoying two of these back to back! Can't get much better than this. Surprised how much the vanilla came out in this Sweet Stout. If your in St. Louis and find this on-tap, enjoy this the first chance you get! A+

Poured from the firkin, I applaude Schlafly for honoring the tried and true English cask ale with this full flavored stout, yet with high drinkability.
Very dark brown and relatively still, the beer failed to pour a meaningful head. But the hue allows for garnet highlights which display beautiful clarity. Any head character at all would have been appreciated.
Vanilla aromas climb first with a follow up of cream, chocolate, and fain coffee. Malty sweetness represents deep toffee and malted milk. Warmer temperatures allows for plumb and grape esters to rise behind the sweet and malt scents.
Full malt sweetness gives the impression of heavy cream, toffee/burnt caramel, nuttiness, medium toast, medium coffee, and bittersweet chocolates. All with the undertow of vanilla that takes the beer from the milk-sweetened start 'til the toasty-bitter finish. Again, plumb and grape fruitiness further reinforce an English-like session.
Lack of carbonation gives a flat feel, but allowing the beer to rest more heavily on the mouth allows for greater appreciation of the milky creaminess and silky vanilla feel. Finishing lightly watery for obvious reasons.
A great opportunity at a cask ale delivered correctly. But any carbonation would have lead to tremendous scores.

Poured into a pint glass at The Royale.
Pours a dark brown with amber edges and a dense but thin head that is light tan.
Aroma is quite true for a Milk Stout. Mild milk chocolate and lactose sweetnes and some nice vanilla. Definitely some nice roast in there as well balancing that sweetness.
Flavors starts with nice malt roasted notes mixed in with a good vanilla spice note. Almost like vanilla wafers. Slight oatmeal and grain notes are present and some toasty bread notes pop up. There is definitely the lactose and milky sweetness. THE vanilla notes are not too overwhelmingly sweet and there is some roast on the back end.
Pretty good offering by Schlafly for a nice approachable and traditional tasting Milk Stout.

KANSAS CITY, KAN—The family of a missing college student wants to know why her husband has apparently disappeared too. Thirty-five-year-old Amanda Sinkhorn was last seen at the Kansas City Kansas Community College on Sept. 22, after her brother dropped her off on campus. Sinkhorn's brother, Brandon Dow, said he doesn't think it's a coincidence his sister's husband hasn't been located by police.
"He was constantly calling her and harassing her," Dow said. "I think he's capable of killing her. I really, honestly do."
"She's terrified of him," Dow said. "He's broke her arm. He's beat her unconscious. He's broken ribs."
Missing person posters now hang from the hallways at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Sinkhorn was last seen on surveillance video leaving the humanities building. Her brother said White wanted her student loan money, totaling $9,600.
"I think they need to be finding out where Lee's at, and I think they'll find my sister-in-law there too, hopefully alive," said Dorothy Dow.
Although police aren't calling White a suspect, they do admit they want to talk him. They just can't find him.
White's criminal history includes domestic violence charges, though not against Sinkhorn. Dow said she was too scared to call police. His wife admits she's frightened, too.
"I'm scared to death," she said. "I have nightmares at night. She come to me in my dream the other night. She stood in front of me and she said, 'He killed me.'"
Campus police said White is not their only focus, but his own daughter said she too finds it disturbing that her father disappeared when Sinkhorn went missing.
Anyone with information is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS.

Play Up Your Peepers
If shopping for eye makeup is one big guessing game, find your best colors here.
The Scientist: Temitayo Ogunleye, M.D., a dermatologist and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania
The Answer: Ponytails are convenient and useful, but in general, women should treat their hair gently. You shouldn't feel like you're giving yourself a mini-facelift every time you pull your hair back. Tight ponytails yank on the delicate hairs at the front of the scalp. These strands are the most susceptible to damage by traction (pulling) and over time they can fall out. This hair loss is temporary—but only at first. If you're addicted to ponies (ponytails, that is, not adorable little horses), especially if you like them tight, or always wear them in the same spot on your head, you put yourself at risk of permanent loss around the hairline. As many women experience with cornrows and weaves, constant traction can cause inflammation around the hair follicle, which can eventually damage the follicle itself and rob it of the ability to regrow new hair.
It's a good idea to vary up the location of your ponytail—high, low, crown, side—to keep from abusing the same hairs in the same way, over and over. Even if you don't damage the hair at the roots, you can break the shafts where the fastener rests day after day. As far as what kinds of ponytail holders to use, the most important thing is to have a fabric covering over the rubber of your rubber band, to decrease snags. If the elastic becomes exposed, toss it and use a new one. Flat ribbon elastics are popular these days and might benefit your hair by distributing the tension more than traditional hair ties.
Finally, if your ponytail feels too tight, it probably is. They say beauty is pain, but too much tugging on your scalp irritates nerves and can cause headaches. That's not pretty, no matter how good your top knot looks.

A federal judge allowed the government to keep cash that Homeland Security agents seized because it smelled like marijuana.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Davis issued a default ruling May 28 because the original owner of the cash failed to claim it before a late February deadline to do so.
Homeland Security agents were tipped off in January 2013 that a California man would be coming through the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with a large amount of illegal drug money.
Agents said a drug dog led them to two of Robert Casteel's three pieces of luggage, and he claimed the bags contained cash from his bingo business.
Federal agents found no drugs in the man's bags, but they found $138,121 that smelled strongly of marijuana.
Investigators seized the cash, although Casteel was not charged and was allowed to continue on to his destination in Phoenix.
Homeland Security argued in court documents that the cash came from the distribution of "high-grade" marijuana in Minnesota.
Records indicate federal agents believed the cash was linked to a raid eight months later on a Oakland, California, grow operation, but the original owner of the cash was never charged in connection with the case.
The judge did not turn over the cash to the federal government because it smelled like illegal marijuana, but his ruling cited the missed deadline.
The ruling shows a notice of forfeiture was posted for the cash in January on forfeiture.gov, but no one claimed it.

These treatments can help moms-to-be
Updated On: Mar 11 2013 01:01:48 PM EDT
By Pure Matters
You treat yourself to some gentle exercise a few days a week. You make sure to get enough sleep. And you're devoted to taking your prenatal supplement. What else can you do to treat yourself right during your pregnancy?
Many spas now offer pampering treatments designed especially for moms-to-be, and some -- including Becoming Mom in Mason, Ohio; Mama Spa in New York City; and MaSpa at Ocean Oasis in Santa Monica, California -- are devoted exclusively to new moms and women who are expecting.
Prenatal treatments help you relax, ease backache, and relieve other discomforts, says obstetrician Lisa Masterson, MD, founder of MaSpa. To make sure your indulgence is safe, she and other experts suggest these precautions.
Avoid heat. Saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, and body wraps raise the body's core temperature, which is dangerous to your baby. Say no, too, to any treatment that applies heat to the abdomen or your back/hip area.
Be gentle. Insist on mild products, like unscented grapeseed massage oil or fine sugar for a body scrub. During pregnancy, skin may be especially sensitive, and ingredients such as essential oils can cause itching, burning, and breakouts.
Ask for modified massage. Soothing strokes to your back, shoulders, and legs are safe while lying on your side or seated and leaning forward on cushions. But don't lie flat on your back for prolonged periods after the first trimester. Lying facedown on a special pregnancy table, which has a netted opening in the middle that supports your belly, may be fine early in pregnancy. After five months, however, this position can strain ligaments in your midsection.
Check her skills. Your massage therapist should be certified in prenatal massage and know to avoid pressure points in the lower legs, ankles, and hands, which are thought to stimulate the reproductive organs and bring on labor.
Now it's time for the TLC!

ANDERSON, Ind. —
In just two NFL starts, Jerrell Freeman has shown a knack for making plays.
But the only statistic the Indianapolis Colts inside linebacker really cares about is measured on the scoreboard.
"Winning makes everything feel better," he said Monday at the team's practice facility, "makes food taste better and makes me sleep a lot better."
Freeman is the first player from the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor ever to play in the NFL. In Week 1 at Chicago, he became the first undrafted Colts player ever to return an interception for a touchdown in his debut, and he swung momentum at a critical juncture in the home opener against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
Indianapolis was clinging to a 7-6 lead late in the second quarter when Freeman sacked Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder near midfield and forced a fumble. Cory Redding recovered, and the Colts went on a 10-0 run to end the first half.
"It helps us win games, I guess you could say," Freeman said of his tendency for big plays. "Just play the play that's called, and let your play speak for itself. Whatever they ask me to do, I'm out there to do it."
Freeman was forced into action when starting linebacker Pat Angerer fractured a bone in his foot during the preseason opener against the St. Louis Rams. He had five tackles to go with his interception return against the Bears and exploded for 13 tackles along with the strip-sack on Sunday.
His play has been more than even his coaches bargained for.
"He's exceeded all of our expectations," head coach Chuck Pagano said. "That's because of the work he's put in and the time he's put in. He's playing a ton of plays, and you could see at the end of the game (Sunday) he didn't have obviously the same speed and burst that he had at the start. But, you know, 70, 72 plays into it, really pleased with Jerrell and where he's come."
Freeman sees plenty of room for improvement.
He was victimized on the Vikings' final offensive play, finding himself well out of position as Ponder hit tight end Kyle Rudolph for a six-yard touchdown pass that tied the game with 31 seconds remaining.
An excellent two-minute drive by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and a 53-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri bailed Freeman out.
"All that good got erased with that one play at the end," Freeman said. "I could have had a great game, but I might think of one play that whole time. So it's good to have those (positive) plays, but I think about the bad plays way more than the good plays."
He'll likely have a chance for more of both this week when the AFC South rival Jacksonville Jaguars visit the Circle City.
Angerer isn't due to return until at least the Green Bay game on Oct. 7, following Indianapolis' bye. And Freeman and his fellow linebackers likely will be called on for heavy duty again.
Although Jacksonville's offense gained just 117 total yards in a loss to Houston on Sunday, Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew was the NFL's leading rusher last season.
Jones-Drew has 137 yards on 31 carries this season, and he's almost certain to be the focal point for the Colts' defense.
"You're going to hear it around a lot," Freeman said. "Stopping the run, for this defense, is our No. 1 goal. If you're able to do that and turn the offense one-dimensional, hopefully go from there and have a little fun."
Pagano expects Freeman to continue having a lot of fun right in the middle of the action.
"After losing Pat and having him step up and fill in, he's done a remarkable job," Pagano said. "And you can see his progress, and you can see him getting better with each series in each game."
Freeman making most of opportunity
Colts linebacker fills in admirably for Angerer

Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
The Twins have the fewest hits in the American League. The Tigers have the most.
So keeping games close will be Minnesota's top priority in the three-game series that starts tonight at Comerica Park.
"We pitched well against Texas, a team that can really hit the baseball," manager Ron Gardenhire said Monday, after the Twins outscored the Rangers 16-8 in their four-game series at Target Field. "We're going to get another big test right here, with a lineup that can really abuse you."
He's talking about that Cabrera-Fielder-Martinez heart of the order, though the Tigers haven't exactly killed the Twins lately. In fact, Minnesota is 10-11 over the last two years against Detroit -- remember, the Tigers were A.L. champions last year, while the Twins won only 66 games -- and the Tigers' run-scoring advantage is only 99-93.
So the Twins hope to use the same formula that earned them a split against Texas -- keep the games close and low-scoring. Tonight it will be up to Mike Pelfrey, who despite his 2-2 record still hasn't had a breakout performance this season. But he's done well, Gardenhire said, at "at least getting us to the second half of games, giving us a chance, so our bullpen can take over."
His lineup tonight includes Trevor Plouffe, back at third base after two days off, and Oswaldo Arcia in left field, as Josh Willingham continues to work through some knee soreness after an awkward slide into second base on Saturday.

Hamid Karzai, GCMG (Pashto: حامد کرزی, Ḥāmid Karzay; born 24 December 1957) is the 12th and current President of Afghanistan, taking office on 7 December 2004. He became a dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001. During the December 2001 International Conference on Afghanistan in Germany, Karzai was selected by prominent Afghan political figures to serve a six month term as Chairman of the Interim Administration.
He was then chosen for a two year term as Interim President during the 2002 loya jirga (grand assembly) that was held in Kabul, Afghanistan. After the 2004 presidential election, Karzai was declared winner and became President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. He won a second five-year-term in the 2009 presidential election.
Karzai was born on 24 December 1957 in the village of Karz, located on the edge of Kandahar City in southern Afghanistan. He is an ethnic Pashtun of the Popalzai tribe. His father, Abdul Ahad Karzai, served as the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament during the 1960s. His grandfather, Khair Mohammad Khan, had served in the 1919 Afghanistan's war of independence and as the Deputy Speaker of the Senate. Karzai's family were strong supporters of Zahir Shah, the last king of Afghanistan. His uncle, Habibullah Karzai, served as representative of Afghanistan at the UN and is said to have accompanied King Zahir Shah in the early 1960s to the United States for a special meeting with U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

The world's largest mobile phone maker Nokia said on Friday that it had finished outsourcing 2,300 engineers to US-based global consulting firm Accenture.
"Nokia announced today that it has completed the transaction to outsource its Symbian software development and support activities to Accenture," the company said in a statement.
Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop announced in February the company would phase out Symbian as its smartphone platform in favour of a partnership with Microsoft, resulting in the loss of 4,000 jobs and the outsourcing of around 3,000 Symbian developers.
The number of outsourced jobs is fewer than the 2,800 that Nokia estimated in June.
The engineers will continue to develop Symbian software for Nokia through 2016, according to the company.
The news that Nokia and Accenture completed the transfer came just a day after the Finnish mobile phone giant announced it was slashing 3,500 jobs in Romania, Germany and the United States.
Those job cuts came on top of the 4,000 Elop announced in April, when he said no more layoffs were expected "for as far as we can see into the future."

I'm currently a resident here at the Marquis of Tampa. It's a beautiful complex on the surface but there are some problems. For instance, when we first moved here, there was a car washing station, but once we moved in we learned that it never worked and eventually they removed it. They have two pools and two hot tubs. Only one of which is working (and never consistently) I've had to complain multiple times about the hot tub situation. The second hot tub hasn't worked for about year now. The apartment complex has two gates, the gate I live right next to is the back gate, but it hasn't been operational since I moved in over a year ago. Our refrigerator is broken, one of the handles on the inside keeps falling off. We called to have it repaired, someone showed up when we weren't here and they simply put the broken piece back on. It fell off immediately. When some person almost hit a bunch of kids (my kid included) when they were backing out of their garage the office took up the position that the kids and their parents are at fault rather than the carelessness of the driver. The driver claimed he looked both ways, but how can you look both ways when you're sitting in your garage facing the back of your garage? You look left you see a wall, you look right, you see a wall, how do you look both ways? When I tried to complain about this, I was met with ignorant resistance and told that either I or another parent should be out there monitoring the kids at all times while they play; for hours. Never mind the unique developmental benefits of unsupervised child-driven play, but who has time to be outside monitoring kids for blocks of time like that? This is a gated community, my child should be able to play freely in this community without having to worry about getting hit by a car. Yes, it's important to make sure my child is vigilant and careful and I take many opportunities to drill this into him, but ultimately adults are the ones with the actual responsibility of making sure they don't run some little kid over. The Marquis seems to have a differing opinion.

Brett Hull" usually conjures up memories of pleasure and pain.Depending on whom you ask, the name "
Hull was a pleasure to those former teammates who watched him on the ice while experiencing his effervescent demeanor off the ice. But Hull was also a pain to those opposing goalies tasked with standing in front of his 100-plus mph cannon.
"The first time I played against him, I go into St. Louis and he's on the one (faceoff) dot and there's a power play," New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur recalled. "I go down and I'm on my butt like this (sitting down, facing the shooters) and (Craig) Janney makes a pass right across. I'm sitting there on my goal line and the (crossbar) is (six inches above my head) and he fires it and it went in.
"It was probably the only time they scored and I was glad it went in -- I thought I was going to die."
Former Rangers goalie Mike Richter, who was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame alongside Hull in 2008, recalls his first meeting with "The Golden Brett."
"It wouldn't surprise me if Brett had a great shot from about the time he was 2 years old," Richter laughed. "I remember playing against him in college and everyone was telling me to watch this one guy because he had a hard shot. I was like, 'How hard could the shot be?' But he scored at will and was eating up the league. I remember him telling me he never used to aim. As a goalie, you could never get set, it was 'Boom' and in the net.'"
Hull was always particular and never secretive about what made his shot so lethal.
"Developing the proper fundamentals and going out and shooting every day," Hull told NHL.com. "But you've got to have a proper shooters' stick if you want to be able to shoot the puck. You have to have the proper curve, the proper flex, proper lie and proper technique and then go from there."
Unfortunately, that advice was precisely what drove teammates crazy. One case study was provided by Devils' captain Jaime Lagenbrunner, who played three seasons with Hull during his time with the Dallas Stars in the late 1990s.
"Brett was one of the most interesting guys I've ever played with as far as not being afraid to say what was on his mind at any given time," Langenbrunner told NHL.com. "But that shot of his -- second to none. He would try to help guys with what he thought was the reason he shot the puck so hard by telling us we all used whimpy sticks. I remember trying to use his stick a few times, but I couldn't even get it off the ice with his stick."
Brodeur can recall Hull unleashing two unique shots.
"It was a pretty heavy shot when he kept it low, but it was the quickness," Brodeur said. "He had a lot of flex on his stick so it was coming really hard when it was on the ice, but it was coming quick when it was going high. Those were the two different shots he had."
Langenbrunner was also amazed with Hull's practice sessions.
"He would never miss the net while working on one-timers," Langenbrunner recalled. "He'd pick every one of them so clean and never miss; it didn't matter how he was standing or where the pass came from. I think that's what made him even more effective -- his accuracy. He always put the pressure on the goalie to make the save."
Long-time Flyers goalie Ron Hextall said of Hull: "When he comes in on the wing, he's got an awful lot of speed. If you give him a hole, he hits it."
"Brett was always downplaying himself and how good he was at shooting the puck," Langenbrunner said. "But, finally, we'd all just say, 'No Hully, it's you.' He knew just how to pick the puck off the ice."
Langenbrunner did admit there were a few tips Hull shared that actually have stuck with him to this day.
"Brett always used to get lost in the offensive zone and find that dead space where the defense wasn't," Langenbrunner said. "That was something he was very good at. It's pretty weird because how do you not know where Brett Hull is on the ice, but he found a way to hide in the offensive zone and then spring into a spot to score goals. That's something he also tried to teach us but, again, that's not an aspect of the game that you just start doing. That's something that comes naturally and he had it."

Author Joel Southerland discusses inspiring tales behind his book 'Haunted Canada 4', and new stamps featuring unexplained ghostly tales.
Friday 13, 2014!!!
This is the only Friday 13th of the year 2014!!!
A History Of Friday The 13th
Witchcraft Act of 1563
In England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland a succession of Witchcraft Acts have governed witchcraft and provided penalties for its practice, or (in later years) for pretending to practice it.
June 1st - Witchcraft Act of 1563 takes effect in England.
Until the year of 1951, English laws were strictly prohibiting witchcraft and other similar practices like acts of magic, or consulting with the spirit world. The most important act in the history of England's witchcraft laws and penalty is without a doubt, the one that came into action on the 1st of June 1563. So, on this day all Wicca and Paganism followers mark the beginning of a long history of accusations and penalties for all of those found guilty of witchcraft and spiritualism in the UK.
There has never been a single law in the U.S prohibiting acts of witchcraft. In 1692, when the Salem witch trials took place, the United States were still a part of the British colonies.
Witchcraft Act 1542
Religious tensions in England during the 16th and 17th centuries resulted in the introduction of serious penalties for witchcraft. Henry VIII's Act of 1542 (33 Hen. VIII c. 8) was the first to define witchcraft as a felony, a crime punishable by death and the forfeiture of the convicted felon's goods and chattels.[1] It was forbidden to:
... use devise practise or exercise, or cause to be devysed [sic] practised or exercised, any Invovacons or cojuracons [sic] of Sprites witchecraftes enchauntementes or sorceries to thentent [sic?] to fynde [sic] money or treasure or to waste consume or destroy any persone [sic] in his bodie membres, or to pvoke [provoke] any persone to unlawfull love, or for any other unlawfull intente or purpose ... or for dispite of Cryste, or for lucre of money, dygge up or pull downe any Crosse or Crosses or by such Invovacons or cojuracons of Sprites witchecraftes enchauntementes [sic] or sorceries or any of them take upon them to tell or declare where goodes stollen [sic?] or lost shall become ...[2]
The Act also removed a right known as benefit of clergy from those convicted of witchcraft, a legal device that spared anyone from hanging who was able to read a passage from the Bible.[2] This statute was repealed by Henry's son, Edward VI, in 1547.[3]
An Act agaynst Conjuracons Inchantments and Witchecraftes
Scottish Witchcraft Act 1563
Under the Scottish Witchcraft Act 1563 both the practice of witchcraft and consulting with witches were capital offences.[5] This Act stayed on Scottish statute books until repealed as a result of a House of Lords amendment to the bill for the post-union Witchcraft Act 1735.[6]

Woman Says A Ghost is Haunting Her Pick-Up Truck
A beauty school student from Sacramento says she had to sell her car because it was being haunted by the spirit of her dead boyfriend.
Deanna Stinson says she had a series on spine-chilling experiences in her pick up truck which started days after her boyfriend Alex's unexpected death.
When a paranormal investigator checked the car, he recorded what the pair believe was a male voice trying to answer their questions.
Ms Stinson had been dating Alex for only a month in 2005 when he died of a drug overdose. Three days later she claims she had the first of several supernatural encounters with the 22-year-old.
She said she was driving through Sacramento while wearing a skirt that Alex had always admired on her, when she could feel someone touching her.
'I could feel touching on my hair and on my shoulders, on my thighs, just everywhere,' she told CBS Sacramento.
'My concentration would be lost a lot of the times, but I would just pray, and then it would stop,' she added.
On a couple of occasions the student became convinced she could see Alex in the rear view mirror and even in the passenger seat next to her.
In one encounter, she claimed that he appeared as a ghost in the back seat and began to give her a shoulder massage.
'I was starting to get freaked out and I don't like to be touched by ghostly hands, especially when I am driving,' she told the Knight Talk Radio website.
Ms Stinson says she had no choice but to get rid of the pick up truck but when the feeling that she was being haunted lingered, she called in a paranormal investigator.
Paul Dale Roberts, who has written several books about supernatural activity, used electronic equipment to test the truck.
The 59-year-old, who married Ms Stinson earlier this month, asked the spirit of Alex a series of questions and, when he played back the recording a muffled male voice could be heard.
'He's definitely probably not attached to his car, but he's attached to Deanna,' Mr Roberts said.
Ms Stinson says that although she has still felt the presence of Alex in her new car, she is happy for him to remain as long as he doesn't interfere with her driving.

Does Remodeling Stir up Spirits?
Does Remodeling Stir up Spirits?
By Kelly Roncace
Just as dust lies on the floor of a long-abandoned house, the energy of those who once lived in that house could be absorbed into the building's walls.
This energy can be awakened by disturbances such as new owners who begin remodeling and changing what the spirits still think of as their home. The paranormal field is filled with stories of hauntings that come about suddenly when home or business owners begin to demolish, construct or change the layout of a structure.
In April, a wrecking crew began tearing down the old French Worsted Co. building in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
The construction crew — made up of big, tough, rugged fellas — got so spooked on that site that they refused to continue the demolition.
Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management hydrologist Sofia Kaczor said the men were legitimately frightened and "the work stopped."
According to members of the wrecking crew and on-lookers, one of the cranes being used to demolish the building would go "haywire" every time it got close to tearing away part of the building.
Kim Baccaire, daughter of John Baccaire — the crane operator, took a photo which she said shows what looks like apparitions in a window of the building.
Another incident involved a large beam that fell and seemed to aim itself directly at the crane's cab, missing John Baccaire by mere inches.
Kim Baccaire called on Andrew Lake, a paranormal investigator, who agreed to come to the site. He brought along two mediums to assist in the investigation.
The trio entered the building and "had a conversation with the spirits," explaining that the deceased needed to move on because the building couldn't be saved.
After their visit, the activity stopped and demolition continued without incident.
Doug Hogate Jr., CEO and founder of Jersey Unique Minds Paranormal Society, said in his opinion, spirits may get upset that their home is being changed.
"Imagine being at your house and someone comes in and starts tearing walls down and remodeling," Hogate said. "They could be thinking, 'This is my house. What are you doing to my house?'"
One investigation Hogate remembers that could have been caused by construction was at Johnson Hall in Salem.
"They said a lot of activity stirred up while they were remodeling the first floor," he said.
JUMPS investigated the building three times and recorded the most activity on the first floor just as construction was being completed.
"That's a prime example," Hogate said.
There are other explanations of why remodeling could conjure up strange activity in a home, such as replacing plaster walls with more modern drywall which is a much weaker sound barrier and even exposing molds that could contain toxins which could effect a person's perception.
But is it also possible that a spirit who has resided undetected in a certain building for hundreds of years could become more active in an effort to express his or her disapproval of the changes?
The next time you replace a window or build a partition, keep an eye out for someone who may want you to leave the room as it was.

Witch City - Places of Mystery
Witch City: Places of Mystery - Paranormal Documentary
In 1626 Roger Conant and the first settlers arrived in this country with strong hopes of religious freedom. They named their new home Salem, a word related to the Hebrew word shalom and the Arabic word salaam, both meaning peace. Only 66 years later, March 1692 would mark the beginning of 14 months of shame for a parish in Salem Town, Massachusetts, then known as Salem Village. The strange, unexplained behavior of two young girls, Abigail Williams and Betty Parris, set to motion an era of hysteria that ended in the death of twenty four people accused of witchcraft. The Salem Witch Trials and persecutions only lasted fourteen months but town believers were convinced that subsequent years of struggle were retribution for the sins of their forefathers. Years of problems; famines and crop failures, the fall of the Salem shipping industry, the Great Salem Fire of 1914 and the decline of the tanning industry were all believed to be Salem's condemnation for the witch trials. Not until 1850 did public interest start to pique favorably toward the historic town. The mystery of Salem, captured in the acclaimed novels, The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne, fed on Salem's history of witchcraft and strict Puritan values. Soon popular city folklore added to mystery by laying claim to various hauntings: the House of the Seven Gables, the Old Town Hall, the Customs House, and by a vengeful ghost, Giles Corey, a man who had been pressed to death during those infamous witch trials.
In 1890, dry goods merchant Daniel Low, recognizing a good sales pitch successfully sold witch-stamped spoons as souvenirs of the "City of Witches." This began the use of witchcraft as a commodity. In 1957 the Massachusetts Legislature exonerated many of the accused Salem witches and in 2001both the accused and the convicted witches were finally cleared of all charges. This act finally allowed the townspeople of Salem to move forward Commercialism took firm hold in 1970 when the television comedy Bewitched filmed several episodes in Salem. This publicity was a giant boost to Salem's economy.
It took more than 280 years before the curse of the witch hysteria of 1692 would be lifted. The city of Salem is now known as a city of serious historical significance as well as one that doesn't take itself too seriously.
Demonstrating Salem's positive attitude; Police cars display witch logos, school teams call themselves "The Witches", and Gallows Hill, where many convicted witches were hanged is now used as a public park. In 1981 the city added an official "Haunted Happenings" celebration during the October tourist season. The yearly celebration has become a great success a thousands watch the massive fireworks display that kicks off the festivities on Halloween night. The event turned a $200,000 profit for the city in 2007. The Salem witches' story regularly brings curious visitors from all over the world, a sign that perhaps even history has finally forgiven the black deeds of 1692.

Sumerian Beer May Have Been Alcohol-Free
The fermented cereal beverage enjoyed by Sumerians, so-called Sumerian beer, may have been alcohol-free, suggests a recent review of ancient Sumerian practices.
While ancient writings and vessel remnants show that Mesopotamia's inhabitants were fond of fermented cereal juice, how the brew was actually made is still a mystery.
To investigate the brewing technologies of Mesopotamia, the late Peter Damerow, a historian of science and cuneiform-writing scholar at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, reviewed archaeological finds of ancient beer production and consumption, as well as 4000-year-old cuneiform writings, which included Sumerian administrative documents and literary texts dealing with myths and legislation....
