A word from Clos Maggiore
Clos Maggiore is an oasis of calm in the heart of Covent Garden. Influenced by the stylish country inns of Provence and Tuscany its unique interiors create a warmth and intimacy enjoyed by both business and private parties. The conservatory has a fully retractable glass roof creating a bright and airy dining space, particularly lovely during the Spring and Summer seasons. It is transformed at night by candles, starlight and a crackling fire during the Winter months. Head Chef Marcellin Marc cooks sublime Provençal inspired cuisine with contemporary panache. Marcellin is committed to using locally sourced seasonal ingredients to create perfectly balanced menus which were awarded three AA-rosettes since 2008. Our extensive cellar at Clos Maggiore includes over 2,000 labels and was extended earlier this year to include an additional 400 wines at a low – mid price range. We are very proud to have been awarded the "Best of Award of Excellence" consistently since 2003 by Wine Spectator.Continued

- Completely perfect restaurantFoodBearDined on 23/10/2014Clos Maggiore's reputation is well deserved, the setting is perfect and the staff have impeccable manners, they are attentive but not overly so in that you are being bothered too many times to see if your meal is okay. They are very polite and never make you feel awkward, even when I asked half way through my main if I could order a side as I realised I needed to (this only happened because the menu is so amazing its hard to concentrate on one meal!). Whilst the menu is expensive, it is only slightly more expensive than restaurants such as Cafe Des Amis, another french one in the area, but the food, staff and ambiance are exponentially better, which is why I gave it 5 stars for value. Would definitely recommend and visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 22/10/2014Such a wonderful restaurant. Have been here a couple of times now and is just stunning. The vegetarian option is always incredible, service and attention to detail is second to none and the ambience just spot on.Special Features:
- Siblings lunchQuasiDined on 22/10/2014Our biannual family lunch is always an auspicious occasion. So we were recommended Clos and it came up trumps. Excellent dishes, served with great character.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fabulous!eateralexDined on 21/10/2014Honestly wonderful. Food was amazing. The chef is worth his/her weight in Gold. The food was rich and extremely tasty. Small portions but the quality of flavour more than filled me up. Although note of warning - if you want something light AVOID even the soup is is truffle-filled, which I love but not for everyone. Staff were attentive but not overly so and very knowledgeable. The wine recommendations were great and the list rather comprehensive. Great for Romance - superb experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very lovely quiet restaurantMarriedandBrokeDined on 21/10/2014I ate here many years ago also for pre-theatre and it was as great this time as it was the first. I would highly recommend it and I must remember to go more often myself. I haven't given the service 5 stars as we were on the pre-theatre menu hence we were on a tight timescale. Food arrived very promptly from ordering, lovely and hot and delicious but the staff could've got us out the door a bit quicker. However, the staff are very well trained, polite and friendly.Special Features:
- AndyVIPDined on 21/10/2014Lunch at Clos Mzggiore, after an absence of two months, reminded us how good this retaurant is. One hesitates to recommend it to friends because it is always full and difficult enough now to get a table. The chef continues to excel. I had the best soup have ever eaten and only hope it is on the menu tomorrow when, once again, we are dining at the prettieist restaurant in London.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I really recommend this restaurantjudithDined on 20/10/2014Lovely restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Romantic. The perfect place for an special occasion.I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 19/10/2014The restaurant made a special effort to help make a silver wedding anniversary really special. The staff were warm and attentive - the restaurant had none of the pretentiousness you get in some other high end restaurants. And the food was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another fantastic mealOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 19/10/2014Once again the quality of the food, service and ambience was excellent.Special Features:
- Excellent Service, Good FoodTRICKorTREATDined on 18/10/2014We enjoyed a wonderful 10th anniversary meal together. Service was attentive, our somilier in particular shared a range of excellent options with us, including a unique and delicious grappa that rounded our evening off perfectly. The food at Clos is always highly competent and presented to a high standard, without being dramatic. The beef in particular was delicious and our desserts were great fun. As we all know however, it is the ambience that makes Clos so special. Beautfully lit, not too light, not too dark, with decent separation between tables to allow for that special tete a tete that makes this restauarant a real winner. Recommended for lovers everywhere.Special Features:
- In town tonightRogerDined on 18/10/2014After having tried for over a year to persuade my girl friend to eat in town rather than in the country we had a very pleasant and successful evening at Clos Maggiori. The food was excellent and the ambience in the rear room brilliant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing place, food and serviceWayneDined on 18/10/2014This is a hidden gem in the heart of Covent Garden, the food is amazing and the service is outstanding. The waiters are at hand for your every need, from explaining the menu, recommending wine and every little detail is taken care of. Make sure you book way in advance as this is definitely worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic resaturantld261Dined on 17/10/2014Food was lovely and the tables were spaced nicely apart so you didn't feel on top of others. Would recommend to couples for a dinner night outSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceAussiedinerDined on 17/10/2014Lovely food, excellent service. Very happy with our experience, look forward to coming back one day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday 17th OctoberNjc74Dined on 17/10/2014Absolutely fantastic, restored my faith in good dining, mixed and matched from a few menu's which wasn't a problem to the staff. Great afternoonSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quick if you want to beAlanDined on 17/10/2014My guest could not come at the last minute so I decided I would have a quick lunch myself. The staff delivered an outstanding two course lunch in 30 minutes and were brilliantSpecial Features:
- as good as everpff1804VIPDined on 17/10/2014I went to Clos Maggiore for lunch with a friend. We both opted for the set menu which was very good and with the half bottle of wine represents good value for money. The dining room is lovely and the service impeccable. My only criticism is that there are only three choices for main course on the set menu, one meat, one vegetarian and one fish. The vegetarian dish did not appeal and my friend doesn't eat meat, the only fish dish on the set menu was at a £5 supplement. In view of the limited choice, perhaps the restaurant should offer a fish dish included at the set price.Special Features:
- Book early for conservatoryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 16/10/2014My husband and I had dinner here last night. The food and service were exceptional, but beware if you want a room in the conservatory you need to book months in advance and call the night before to confirm. We were fortunate enough to at least get a table with a view of the conservatory, which did not disappoint.Special Features:
- lafillegourmandeDined on 16/10/2014We went pre-theatre and experienced faultless service and ambience even so early in the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent for dinner post theatresureshotDined on 15/10/2014Clos Maggiore is a stone's throw from the Royal Opera House, and offers a lovely post-theatre dinner option. Staff was extremely accomodating and helpful, serving up a very nice meal at a very reasonable price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely ExperienceclaireDined on 15/10/2014Really enjoyed the service and ambience in this restaurant. Nice and relaxing atmosphere to take in delicious food after a day of hustle and bustle in busy London. Impressed with the little touches and the food is not too pricey considering the quality. Would definitely recommend to anyone either for a romantic evening or a nice chilled out meal with friends.Special Features:
- Pre-theatre delightsga44Dined on 15/10/2014It wasn't just the conservatory seating that made Clos Maggiore such a pleasant place to be: the service, the presentation and the general ambiance all contributed to the experience. We had an early curtain at the National Theatre and might have had time for dessert had we not been too full to want one. The foie gras terrine was especially memorable and the halibut was delicious as was the autumn soup. The Welsh lamb shank is not something we would order again because we tend not to like braised lamb. On another less rushed occasion we would order from the main menu because the lamb tends to be one of the three available choices on the lunch/theatre menu. We plan to go back with friends and more time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pre theatre dinnerDavidBDined on 14/10/2014The pre-theatre menu at Close Maggiore was excellent. There were 3 choices for each course - the vegetarian was excellent - and the service was prompt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful!StarloverDined on 13/10/2014Clos Maggiores is a beautiful restaurant, it is so romantic, with its pretty cosy setting but also has wonderful food and excellent service, we have eaten here on several ocassions and never once been disappointed. The set menus offer fantastic value for money in central London, and we enjoyed three courses and half a bottle of wine for under £30 per head! I have been with my husband, but also with my mum, and with friends, all of whom said it was really special. Its my favourite place to eat in London and we have been to some top restaurants, including Petrus, Quaglinos, etc. This one tops them all.Special Features:
- Wonderful experience 10/10ChrisDined on 12/10/2014Everything about this restaurant was great, the pre communications were efficient, the polite e-mails and telephone calls. We arrived 10 minutes before our booking time, great friendly reception - had asked for a table in the conservatory, and whilst we were seated in the centre of the conservatory, all the tables looked good - we'd not have been disappointed with other tables. Very attentive yet not in your face service from very knowledgeable waiters. The service was impeccable throughout, never a dry glass, not too short a gap between courses, never felt rushed. As to the food, a gastronomic delight, top notch produce cooked very well - certainly the best meal we have had in London, one of the top 3 in the UK for us. We'll be back !Special Features:
- hsiantinDined on 12/10/2014the taste and flavour of food, pork and fish, is very good, however a little bit too salty to us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing, amazing, amazingDinedAndWinedDined on 11/10/2014My boyfriend and I went to Clos Maggiore for a special date last Saturday. It was just what we needed, and some more. A romantic setting with the stunning flower-filled courtyard, soft music, impeccable service and perfect French food - portions were even bigger than we expected. A magical night, overall. Five stars!Special Features:
- Magically AmazingOuzekiDined on 11/10/2014Its a very Romantically Decorated restaurant. The service was excellent, the recommendation of food and wines are perfect. By Far the best meal and fine dining we have had in london during our stay.Special Features:
- Great placeAliciaDined on 10/10/2014We went for a romantic dinner and we loved it. The space itself is beautifully decorated and appealing, the food is excellent and the service very good. We would really recommend it for a special occasion, anniversary...etc. Overall, one of the best dinning experiences in London.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friday LunchhoggyDined on 10/10/2014Lovely food, surroundings and great value as alwaysSpecial Features:
- Always a great mealFrancesFDined on 10/10/2014We have been to Clos Maggiore on so many occasions and have always had an excellent meal. We have taken friends and relatives of different ages and they have all agree that this is a very special restaurant. Always a different menu and the service is friendly, attentive and never 'over the top'.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Most romantic restaurant in London246poppiesatlondontowerDined on 8/10/2014Clos Maggiore is our favourite restaurant in Europe, it is intimate, beautifully decorated with almond trees, mirrored reflections give it depth and enhance the beautiful surroundings, the almost invisible waiters attend to every wish, with food and wine so mouth-wateringly delicious it is sad when it is time to leave. Out of all the restaurants in Covent Garden the taxi dropped us right on the door step, an achievement in itself. We cannot wait until we are in London next year and we know that we have to book at least two months in advance to get a table. My choice was terrine of partridge followed by Venison, medium rare, from the Queen's deer park my husbands choice was beautifully tender pork. An experience to relish.Special Features:
- An absolute must!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/10/2014Just had to experience the 'most romantic restaurant in London' for pre theatre dinner and so pleased we were able to secure a table. Staff were very attentive without being intrusive and the food was incredible; dare I say 'simple food' but done brilliantly, the flavours were just mouth watering! I would definitely recommend Clos Maggiore as a must do, we will definitely be returning. The only small disappointment was that we weren't in 'blossom filled conservatory' but on asking, apparently that area gets booked up 2 months in advance, and we had booked just 10 days prior. It certainly didn't affect the atmosphere and wonderful dining experience but thought I'd make you aware.Special Features:
- Great Prix FixeCollyVIPDined on 7/10/2014Once again excellent food, a great value meal, the fixed price with wine is one of the best deals in London, you can understand why it is so busy.Special Features:
- Clos MaggioriWYSYDGVIPDined on 7/10/2014Another enjoyable business lunch, service, food, wine & ambience spot on. Prix Fixe menu also great value Highly recommendedSpecial Features:
- very romantic place amazing foodDavidDined on 5/10/2014we went for our anniversary the ambience is very romantic. the food is amazing above all the pasta with wild mushroom with truffleSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/10/2014This was booked for a birthday celebration and I have to say that from start to finish it was a a truly romantic experience. There was nothing that we did not enjoy. We felt that the attention given by all members of staff was excellent. The waiters etc were there but not there if you can understand that. My husband and I will certainly be returning to Clos Maggiore for another special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experienceMrsHDined on 4/10/2014We loved our evening at clos maggiore. The food was incredible, the wine was perfectly selected for us, the staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make it a perfect evening. The only thing that was in any way less than perfect was our table not being in the beautiful conservatory area, but this is really a very small detail. We would definitely return and will do very soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SuperbOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/10/2014Consistently high quality food, service and value. Best restaurant by far for pre-theatre in Covent Garden area. Made to feel very welcome from reception.Special Features:

I've been struggling,
blind to rain, dark clouds surfacing
on the mirrors of the sky,
flashes of emotions strike metallic
memories, and I stand still
only disabled to the water beating
against my soul,
am I drowning? I mean, AM I,
because I can't seem to fathom
the thought of maintaining through
the pressures of Earth's wrath
upon my life,
in spite of me praying from my good
days to outweigh the baggage
of bad packed within a suitcase and
traveling alongside me,
Where is the beauty of radiant Sunshine
when you need it?
The bright days are as golden
as the element itself and
in itself, I would rather be blinded
by the motion of positive heat waves
burning each segment of my mind
than to be consumed in the shadows
of my personal struggles.
Where are you when my eyes
only see glimpses of your rays?
I feel you, but am deceived
by the watery emotions of instability, uncertainty,
and misery.
And what has to give is the
consumption of the bad weather,
because my realization of brighter days
came when I realized that the Sun
is there at all time,
regardless of blockage of the clouds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MoMofGirlyGirl from A Cozy Little Getaway I bought the canopy & cushion for my 5yr old daughter who was just starting Kindergarten. It is a place I anticipated she would go & play with her toy horses & dolls, which she does but it also ended up being a cozy place that her & I would both go (yes an adult+child can fit fine) & I would read to her. Mid-way through Kindergarten she started reading to me also : ). It is our special little space & it's also HER special space where goes & plays alone & shares with her cousins & friends when over. For this Mom, this is a win, win & win purchase & "toy" for her room. She will have lasting memories as will I of our cozy little getaway where we shared time together & the great wonder of books read together. Note: The quality of the fabric & construction is something I've been very pleased with. It has been pulled at, tugged on, little fingers peeking through the windows & it has held up great. I have no complaints!Thank you Land of Nod for making a purchase that I started off a tad hesitant on, being a single Mom on a budget, very well worth it. I would not hesitate purchasing again & again from you.

I couldn't be happier with the quality of this product! The material is thick & soft, and the colors are cute, not overbearing. My daughter loves to play with all her stuffed animals inside her new little hideout, & I've also caught her just sitting in it, looking at books. Super pleased!

Peter of Tesco Express in Uttoxeter gets his legs waxed for diabetes research
Posted: March 11, 2014|
A BRAVE member of staff from a Uttoxeter convenience store had his legs waxed for a charity effort.
Peter Whittaker, 22, of Tesco Express in Holly Road, took part in a leg wax and head shave to raise funds for Diabetes UK, and raised a grand total of £273 for his efforts. The store also offered a hamper with assorted goodies from the store in a competition.
Mr Whittaker said: "Someone paid a fiver to wax my chest and I nearly cried, it was so painful it was definitely worth more than £5. Diabetes UK is the annual charity for Tesco so we are raising all year. I'll do anything for charity."

weird thing. seems kaz (my ex) has deleted me again after only re adding me the other day, not sure why… last we spoke she was asking me if i knew a number for any spas and i was like not off the to of my head. no arguments or anything. first i thought she had just disabled her fb (she does dat alot)
but turns out she still on fb and fr sum reason mustve blocked me.
sigh. owell, i think im over the whole thing tbh i just hate random unanserd questions, i have an obssesion with knowing the reasons why to everything! lol but itll only lead me into trouble so ill leave it !
woo! Just had to get that off my chest for no apparent reason!
…So I been up and down driving around today and one thing I noticed really puzzled me… Has anyone else noticed that everywhere you go there are new build houses popping up?!?
I saw 4 just on the way from Catford to Lewisham and if you live in south you'll know how close that is, a lot of them also conveniently have like a mini Tesco at the bottom so the residents wont have any excuse to knock next door for a bit of milk! Pissed if your neighbours a hotty!
So anyways I'm not grumbling about the new build houses (apart from them having the thinnest walls ever) but this got me thinking…Aren't we supposed to be in a recession?
I thought this country was supposed to be all bankrupt and in trouble? Yet to me it seems that while other countries like Italy are gonna have to put "escort" as a occupation at the job centre we seem to be building new houses like a game of monopoly!
Being the man I am I always look to the future and it seems kinda bleak. What's happening is that because so much people are talking about this recession we're actualising it, yes things are a bit tighter but boy, in my childhood things have always been tight so we've always had to make do, what I'm seeing happening now is that many companies are using the recession as an excuse to cash in, in many places if you're earning over a certain amount the company will get rid of you just so they can hire someone else they find down the pub and pay them half of what you was on before…
This means the company get to run at half their cost meaning more profits and everyone else who was on a decent wage will get to take up a new career in one of those new Tesco expresses!
then you have gentrification, like I said there's a lot of building going on, and if you notice a lot of it is taking place in "urban areas" what happens is they build up an area with new housing that only rich can afford, the value of an area goes up and eventually the locals cant afford to live there and have to move somewhere crummier!
Imagine moving somewhere crummier than Brixton! I don't even know where that is like a random sewer somewhere! Loll (I joke) but really this is serious. This system is corrupt, imagine not being able to afford to live in Brixton…..BRIXTON!!!
Yes i know its late! well its still january so technically its not that bad!
i was gonna post a update about what i got up to but then i decided not too lol! perhaps too much has been revealled already lol
i will say that christmas was nice, had family around (except a nephew whos not spraking to my sis) and my daughter got everything she wanted, in fact only she got presents so it was just the rest of us adults sitting around watching her open presents and secretly feeling a little Jel.
New years was gooood, although i cant remember all of it! decided to have a few friends round for lil party and my neighbours upstairs also had a party meaning there was no shortage of friends, alchohol and girls!
i remember getting a whole bunch of girls down to mine and we ended up having just a joint party.
i also remember a girl i used to see and her sister coming and playing spin the bottle with the girl i recently split with and her friend (and few other people)
theres alot more to this story but my lips are sealed gonna try this whole being a gentleman thing out lol!!
ohh another dream i had recently, this one was pretty freaky. i have a cousin who a fell out with a few years back when i broke up with my childs mother (just realised i havnt told that story….probably best not to lol)
either way i stopped talking to her, and it was like that for years, she tried to make ammends but i didnt wanna hear it. however i did kinda start talking to her again a few years ago but nothing like we used to.
anyway so she suffers from sickle cell which means thats shes always in the hospital, and in this dream i had it turns out that on this trip to the hospital things got really bad and she passed away.
however she wasnt fully dead yet and so her spirit was allowed to wander around while her body lay in the bed, so she came to see me however i couldnt see her just kind of feel her presence, however when i went over to the mirror i could see her in the mirror i was the only person who could see/hear her so we we just casually chatting in the mirror.
she told me that there was a god but its not that bad when you die although kinda scary, but because her body wasnt fully dead she had to back, however because she has been so close to death so many times her spirit can now leave her body when she wants so shell come back and visit me.
now that dream was spooky! gave me chills, but whats even stranger is that that same morning i woke up and had a facebook friend request from her!!
as usual i been having some crazy dreams however i keep forgetting to write them down straight away!!! which is very annoying.
lately i keep dreaming about my daughters mum, its getting really annoying now. in life we are cool and everything and we have a laugh sometimes but she does also do my head in at times.
so anyway this most recent dream was me and her back at my mums house (alot of my dreams take place back at mums house for some reason) and yea so we wer both chilling with our daughter, but now we had loads of kids, she had two other kids, one was a little girl which was mine and another kid which was her boyfriends,
the lil girl which was mine was much younger than my daughter but was speaking at the same level, if not better. despite being in nappies.
i was saying that i dont like this baby cos she keeps giving me attitude. everytime i would try and talk to her she would give me the scornful look her mum does when shes in a mood with me. i was trying to tiggle her and faisty baby was calling me immature and telling me to grow up!!
then my actual daughter came up and gave me a big hug and we pretty much left the rude one in the front room.
when i saw my baby mother again she had just had twins, she said "well the little boy is yours so you have a son now, but the other one is Jamals
Me: "who the hells Jamal, thats not your boyfriend!!"
Her "ohh you dont kno jamal, he went to my school, he's a footballer now"
Me: well how the hell can one twin be mine and the other aint! thats not even possible!!!"
Her: You're so immature! everyone knows that its possible, your so stupid sometimes all cos you dont wanna help me well fine!!
me being all confused then went to see my sister who just walked in, i asked "is it possible to have twins and one its urs and the other one aint" she said "yea of course it is" so i felt dumb and had to go back and apologise.
then we started kissing, but then she kept pulling my head away and giving me a evil look, then she said she really wants to have a baby, and its like all the other kids (except my daughter) dissapeared. and i was like, well we dont have to get back together but i want a son and i dont want any other baby mothers so lets do it.
we were JUST about to then she said no, wait! and then a cleaner burst in and was like "oh, sorry" and walked out, then i woke up.
i think this means i want a son, without a new baby mother….dreams are crazy
Dutch fashion magazine Jackie thought it would be funny to offer its readers advice on how to dress like Rihanna without looking like, what they described as the "ultimate niggerbitch." A quick translation of the article reads: "She has street cred, she has a ghetto ass and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate niggabitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what's on can come off. If that means she'll be on stage half naked, then so be it. But Dutch winters aren't like Jamaican ones, so pick a clothing style in which your daughter can resist minus ten. No to the big sunglasses and the pornheels, and yes to the tiger print, pink shizzle and everything that glitters. Now let's hope she won't beat anybody up at daycare." Clearly somebody dropped the ball and after the uproar Jackie Editor-in-Chief Eva Hoeke decided to post an apology on the magazine's Facebook page: Dear readers, First: thanks for all your responses. We are of course very fed up over this and especially very shocked. However I'm glad that we're engaging in a dialogue on this page — not everybody does that. Thanks for this. Other than that I can be brief about this: this should have never happened.Period.
While the author meant no harm — the title of the article was intended as a joke — it was a bad joke, to say the least. And that slipped through my, the editor-in-chief's, fingers. Stupid, painful and sucks for all concerned. The author has been addressed on it, and now I can only ensure that these terms will no longer end up in the magazine. Furthermore I hope that you all believe there was absolutely no racist motive behind the choice of words. It was stupid, it was naive to think that this was an acceptable form of slang — you hear it all the time on tv and radio, then your idea of what is normal apparently shifts — but it was especially misguided: there was no malice behind it. We make our magazine with love, energy and enthusiasm, and it can sometimes happen that someone is out of line. And then you can only do one thing: apologize. And hope that others wish to accept it. From the bottom of my heart I say it again: we never intended to offend anyone. And I mean that. Regards,
Eva Hoeke
this is exactly what i was talking about in my post earlier, people think this type of thing is acceptable…. and whether it was intended as a joke or not is irrelevant, its the fact that this is how people perceive us subconciously! it pisses me off!
like somebody said on this " I think what is more eye-opening and telling is the descriptive text beneath the title. Every stereotype about black women thrown in and the fact they mention Jamaica rather than Barbados which is infact where Rihanna is originally kinda sums up the level of ignorance. I love the fact they have blamed the use of the n word on radio etc as a reason for them using it in such a casual way."
its just frustrating to 1: to kno that so many people have these subconcious negative stereotypes of you and your people and 2 the fact that so mamy live up to and perpetuate this stereo type.
whoever said racism is gone needs a slap
oh yea remember when i was getting my knickers in a twist cos i thought my ex kaz had added my friend who we had the threesome with….
well i spoke to my friend on bb and asked her if kaz had messaged her on facebook and she said no, it was her that messaged kaz!!!
i was like what!!! (bear in mind i considered this girl a friend so she knows the whole situation with me and kaz….
she was like "nothing dodgy she just ran across my mind, just a hi and bye thing. am i in trouble?"
i was like well thats dodge still, wont lie.
she said i cud even have her password and look at the convo but how sad wud dat be if i said yes lemme look!!
anyway, she says its nothing dodgy, and apparently she was talking to mutual friends (who was part of the whole kaz drama, but im cool wit them) and das how kaz came up.
i dunno, i do consider this girl a good friend, id go round n chill, have dinner every now and then…. i hope there aint no secret shit goin on behind my back but to be honest I. TRUST. NO. ONE….
and my guts/balls tell me there's more to the story…. i used to have kaz's facebook pasword stored aswell kmt…. but i deleted it to stop myself lookin LOL! ….sigh
So i had a interesting altercation last week with a female on my blackberry
few mnths ago (i forget when exactly) this girl who id known frm facebook for quite some time and i wer speaking on bb, she said she was bord i said if you have no plans you can come up cos im jus chillin too…
she said no.
i said cool.
few weeks later we spoke she said reason she never cam was she dont know me well enuff, and i said thats cool i completely understand that.
in that convo she also told me how she has many "options" when it comes to guys, and finds she always likes a guy but then gets bord and drops him when she finds a new guy she likes better cos theres "too many nice boys"
she also said why dont i make any effort with her, and i said "because i dont chase women!"
anyway, today. ms tiana hollas at me, and says she wud like ME to cook for HER ….out the blue, i said no. she says shes only coming if i cook, i said why wud i cook for sum1 who has options and will only come if i make food and not just to see me?
she also says she wants a hug and a kiss cos shes feeling down, i say come if u want but i aint cooking.
she says where do you live agen?
me: south london, "______"
her: oh i was there yesterday thats far…
me: so what does that mean? are you comin or not?
her: your far, thats a long drive…
me: so what does that mean? are you comin or not?
her: why are you trying to stress me
me: i jus waiting for you to gimme an anser, simple
her: argh you making me mad
me: erm, why u getting mad for?? :-s
anyway, had a argument she gets upset an deletes me off bb.
i update my status on face book to "girl said SHE wants to come see me, but only if i cook for her…PASS"… which this dumb girl saw and took offence too, it turnt into some big thing, over 100 comments, lots of people joint in it was actually quite amusing but embarrassing at same time, i phone calls from bunch of exes asking who dis carzy chick was lol and my ex kaz was even commenting!! *insert fall in a hole and die smiley*
anyway by the end she just embarrassed herself and deleted herself frm my facebook so meh, done now.
So xbox released some new software which allows you to watch youtube from your xbox!!! happy days!!
so anyway, first thing that comes up is a new 50 cent video with Tony Yayo, called i just wana.
now i dont wana start acting like im all high and mighty and angelic cos im farr from perfect but this song and video made me sad. and not cos of how swag the song was!
dont get me wrong, i am actually a fifty cent fan, despite this song being pants. but yea, my point is the lyrics and topic of this song, 50 and Yayo explain in detail just how little they think of their women, and how they have no interest in them whatsoever other than having sex, "i dont wanna love you, i just wanna unbutton your blouse, let the girls out and fuck you"
i find this sad, i mean yea i love women. (maybe too much) but i dunno….. even though i have issues with how some women behave i feel they should be given respect unless they deserve otherwise.
i dont like the idea of negative sterotypes of black women as all loud mouthed video hoes and baby mothers, i dont like it because the more it is fed to us the more it begins to become a reality
and the sad reality is that women start to behave like video hoes because that is whats expected of them, they start callin themselves bitches and hoes… i wonder how many corperate business owning women wud call themself bitche and hoes.
this is kinda hard for me, because yea i do think girls shud keep it real and yea if your a bit slutty u shud own it but i just find it sad when it seems like the ONLY time you see black women theyre bent over bouncing their booty, like thats the only thing they are good for….
hmm, im tryna explain without sounding hypocritical, ….its like, yes you may see a white lady shaking her bum or being a video hoe…(cant actually think of any) but then you know if you turn over the TV you can see another white woman playing a action hero, or princess, or business woman, or lawyer etc…
it seems that the ONLY time black (esp dark skin women are on the screen their either bent over or shouting their mouths off) now imagine as young black girl growing up it could be very easy subconciously to think that if you cant booty shake then your not really black!
what annoys me also is the women in these videos, now ive made music vids before, and i do think you can even make a sexual video without it being degrading. for example trey songs wud make a sexual vid but doesnt have to degrade like a 50 cent song.
from the lyrics are "i just wanna fuck etc" then id say no, but it seems these women are happy to smile shake it for camera…
hmm, thinkin again, and i am kinda torn on this whole thing. cos id be lying if i say i didnt enjoy seeing beautiful women on screen, however it can just be too much when 90 per cent of rap videos are the same thing and to be honest i dont always want it rammed down my throat! if im that bothered ill put on a porn! lol
its like you know when you have a sister, shes kinda annoying and you may pick on her abit but at the end of the day shes YOUR SISTER! so you wouldnt want anyone else to have negative comments/perceptions on her….or only know one side of her…. or to think she has no brain and only good for booty shakin…sigh
the fact is yes, some black women are bitches and hoes etc… and thats fine if that makes them happy.
but some black women are also beautiful, spiritual intelligent queens…i just think that only one side of black women is being represented by the men in the industry.
ok i had to make this into its own post due to even more updates!!!
yea so i accepted kaz, first thing i see on her page….is now in a relationship!
followed by her status, "time flys when someone is constantly making you happy"
updated 22hrs ago…
kmt, knew i shuda linked her ages ago when she kept popping up on my fb, and texting me!
but nooooooo, i had to be gooood and not cheat!!! look now shes taken!!! kmt
i do wonder what made her wnna add me but fuck it im sure shell msg when shes ready….
now…. just going thru my timeline what do i see…. "is now friends with LEANNE"
no im getting annoyed with myself, Leanne is the girl that kaz and i had a 3some with…. THERES NO NEED FOR THEM TO BE FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK!
im angry, i swaer kaz knows how to get me EVERYTIME!!!
i dont care how long ago it was, … grrr they dont need to ever speak unless things are going down and im in the middle!!!!….stressed!

Berkshire amends warrant deal with Goldman Sachs
Tuesday - 3/26/2013, 7:40pm EDT
AP Business Writer
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Warren Buffett's company will likely become one of the biggest shareholders in Goldman Sachs Group Inc. later this year, and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. won't even have to part with any cash to do so.
Berkshire and Goldman said Tuesday they had renegotiated an agreement that gave Berkshire the right to buy 43.5 million shares of the investment bank for $115 per share. Now the 2008 deal will be settled with stock this fall.
Buffett and Goldman Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein both characterized this new deal as an endorsement of the investment bank -- much like they did when Buffett invested $5 billion in Goldman during the financial crisis.
"We intend to hold a significant investment in Goldman Sachs, a firm that I did my first transaction with more than 50 years ago," Buffett said.
Berkshire is generally known as a passive shareholder that doesn't interfere with the companies in which it invests. And Buffett's soft spot for bank investments is clear because Berkshire already holds large stakes in Wells Fargo & Co., U.S. Bancorp, Bank of America Corp. and M&T Bank.
Goldman spokesman Andrew Williams said Tuesday that at current share prices the new warrant agreement would put Berkshire in the lower end of the top 10 of Goldman's biggest shareholders, but the number of shares Berkshire will ultimately receive will be determined by Goldman's stock price this fall.
Goldman shares rose 43 cents to close at $146.54 Tuesday, more than 27 percent higher than the exercise price.
Investor Andy Kilpatrick, who wrote "Of Permanent Value: The Story of Warren Buffett," said the new terms appear beneficial to both companies. Berkshire saves cash at a time when it's preparing to acquire half of H.J. Heinz Co. in a $23.3 billion deal, and Goldman gets to enjoy Buffett's backing while issuing fewer shares.
"It saves Berkshire cash and hassle," Kilpatrick said. "And it extends the Berkshire halo over Goldman."
Blankfein said he is pleased that Berkshire plans to remain a long-term investor. Goldman already paid Berkshire $5.65 billion in 2011 to repurchase the preferred shares Buffett's company bought in 2008 during the financial crisis.
Berkshire also received the right to buy the Goldman common shares in the same deal. Originally, Berkshire could buy Goldman stock for $115 per share until this Oct. 1.
Now instead of Berkshire paying $5 billion cash for all 43.5 million shares, Goldman will compensate Berkshire with stock for the difference between its stock price and the exercise price near the original deadline this Oct. 1. At Tuesday's prices, that would give Berkshire about 9 million Goldman shares, or a stake of almost 2 percent.
Besides investments, Berkshire Hathaway owns more than 80 businesses, including BNSF railroad, Geico insurance, General Reinsurance, MidAmerican Energy, Helzberg Diamonds and Acme Brick. The conglomerate is based in Omaha, Neb.

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm an artist and a writer. Or maybe I actually am! In either case, I post my stuff here, and also reblog stuff I like, like Monkees and cute little animals and stuff.
Some people are weird about their art being reblogged, but I'm okay with it. Please feel free to do so if you're so inclined. I appreciate the publicity! :D

Well THAT was Cool
We're hanging out down in the lobby of the Sheraton and I went "Hey!" at Christian Nesmith. Like a dumbass.
His response was "No, it's 'hey, hey."" :D
And then he came over and shook my hand and said hi to everyone. It was pretty cool. :D
And that's probably gonna be my most exciting story for the whole weekend.

Bikini-Clad Orrin Hatch Flaunts Major Cleavage in Rio
Orrin Hatch is once again proving that age is just a number.
Donning a barely-there maroon bikini, the 78-year-old senior United States Senator for Utah and Republican flaunted his pasty curves this week while he was in Rio De Janeiro.
The band manager for the Mormon-themed folk group The Free Agency soaked up the sun and spent a few hours with his son, Washington lobbyist Scott, at the hotel pool.
Scott, whose lobbying firm has controversial close ties with his father, appeared to be having a great time learning how to swim with a bodyguard.
What brings Orrin to South America?
The hot ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee is busy with his South American "Dance Again" tour, but is still making plenty of bikini and Utah-cleavage time. He tweeted:
"Beautiful day in Rio with my coconuts."

Vinegar recommendations for salad dressings?
I've been trying to make some homemade salad dressings lately, and have been failing miserably. My balsamic vinaigrettes turn out well, but everything else has been pretty bad, and I think it's because I use good quality balsamic but use whatever white wine/red wine/apple cider vinegar I have on hand.
Can anyone recommend good brands of these types of vinegar? Thanks so much!
re: BobB
I agree with Bob- dijon mustard does make a really nice base for dressings- and keeps them together longer.
I also enjoy champagne vinegar in salad dressings- the other night I made a simple one of just champagne vinegar with peruvian lime olive oil- whisked together and then served immediately- it was refreshing and delicious.
re: fmcoxe6188
i never make salad dressing without dijon. oil, acid, and dijon. the rest are accessories after the fact. (c:
my favorite vinegar, i would have to say is rice wine. it has a very mellow, gentle taste. i make this with grapeseed oil, rice wine vinegar, garlic, s&p, and dijon.
i also love to mash some grapes and put in there occasionally.
Here's a thread I started awhile back about vinegars.
It got me turned on to sherry vinegar to which I'm now addicted :) I will never willingly be without it again. I encourage you to try it.
re: c oliver
I'd love to try all these types of vinegar -- sherry, champagne, tarragon and others. But I'm hoping to avoid spending a fortune at Whole Foods experimenting with things that turn out to be duds, so if anyone has specific recommendations of brands, I'd really appreciate hearing what you've enjoyed. Thanks!
re: grayum
This might narrow it down for you.
re: c oliver
This is great -- thanks, c oliver!
re: grayum
l posted in c oliver's post as above, and recommended popuret white vinegar from Orleans, still made as wine and not very expensive. There are three banyuls vinegars imported into US now, they are all great, get the least expensive you can find.
I like apple cider vinegar with dijon mustard, shallots, olive oil, and a bit of honey. You can add herbs as well.
re: wekick
It was too sharp, but also, I think the vinegar just wasn't very good, because I tried cutting it down significantly and it still didn't taste very good. The fact that the balsamic vinaigrettes turned out fine makes me conclude that it was most likely the vinegar itself that was the problem.
re: grayum
The reason I asked is that along with having the right vinegar it also helps to have the right fat/acid ratio. I usually use 3 parts oil to 1 part of the more subtle vinegars but some stronger ones need 1:4. Sometimes I use lemon or another citrus for part of the acid. Sometimes just a teaspoon of sugar can make a difference.
re: grayum
a little honey can round out a dressing very well.
I have so many vinegars in the pantry. They all work well to make dressings. I haven't bought a bottled dressing in years. My usual routine goes something like this. In a small jar mix acid, mustard (here again many to choose from including dry mustard), herbs and other aromatics, salt and pepper, sometimes a touch of something sweet, oil usually one to one with the acid. Shake well and taste. Adjust if needed.
re: scubadoo97
agree about store-bought dressing. home-made takes seconds and is far cheaper, with no hfcs.
re: hotoynoodle
I also love adding a few drops of honey, especially where the dijon mustard is involved...adds just a *tweak* of sweetness and offers nicer "mouth-feel" for me anyway. I don't always add honey but sometimes I just WANT it! Hats off to homemade dressings...something as pure and simple as a good quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon can do it for me, most days.
re: HillJ
i prefer rice vinegar too. brown rice vinegar is also nice.
op: balsamic vinegars contain sugar. most others do not, so you can try adding a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey to punch up your dressing.
add your salt/pepper to the vinegar (& sugar if using), stir to dissolve. then add the oil and mustard and any other flavorings.
as for plain white vinegars, i only use it for cleaning, lol. the flavor is just too sharp.
re: hotoynoodle
I like the idea of the honey.
I like Cento red wine vinegar over other grocery store brands. I've not tried more expensive or wine-specific red wine vinegars because Cento seems less acidic and I like it. sometimes I use a combination of red wine vinegar and lemon juice, the lemon seems to cut the vinegar's acidity.
As to white wine vinegar, try a pinot grigo, champagne or sherry vinegar. Just buy one bottle and don't worry about the brand. Don't buy pompeiin, heinz, or the like.
I also really like the Alessi brand of vinegars, especially the fig infused and the white balsamic vinegars.
But for white wine I turn to sherry vinegar - no favorite brand as I find it hard to get where I live and I also use what ever other white wine vinegar I can get here.
As for apple cider vinegar, Heinz is just fine, but I find that vinegar too sharp for use in dressings. At least on it's own; can be tempered with a bit of honey or sugar, mustard, etc.
you don't need to spend a fortune at Whole Foods on their specialty vinegars, just try to go beyond the typical stuff at your local regular market and you'll find some that you like there.
re: janniecooks
Thanks for the tips, janniecooks! I'll try experimenting at my grocery store before going to Whole Foods.
re: janniecooks
I second the vote for Alessi fig vinegar. My house dressing is fig vinegar, Trader Joe's california olive oil (has a banana-ish taste), raspberry mustard, sometimes a little shallot if i have it, s & p. Really good, especially on arugula w/gorgonzola & toasted pecans & dried cranberries.
re: sparkareno
I use the Alessi infused vinegars, too.
My "default" vinegar is Sherry vinegar. I find it to be so versatile, but I enjoy using the Alessis, too.
I also use a lot of malt vinegar and Crosse & Blackwell is the brand I can find most easily around here (other than Heinz, which I don't like as much).
Have you tried Pastene red wine vinegar? I live in the Northeast and am not sure if Pastene products are available in other areas of the country. It's a mild and sweetish
vinegar, I usually mix it 1 tbsp to 3 of olive oil and add a little dijon mustard and fresh garlic.
It's not expensive at all.... I was at an Italian restaurant in Boston about 20 years ago with my Mom, who made the greatest salad dressings ever, and she begged the waiter to tell her how they made theirs. He brought out the Pastene to show her and it was on her Christmas wish list for years after.
The Pastene canned tuna in oil is also very good.
Pastene indeed makes a great line of products.
I also second the recommendation of the Cento brand -- I've just recently discovered their products and love what I've tried.
It seems to me (as it did to some other posters) that the OP is, perhaps, using too much of the non-Balsamic vinegars. Balsamic is always more mellow than other vinegars.
I love making great new vinaigrettes for salads, slaws and other uses. I find as the years go by, I use less and less vinegar/citrus and concentrate more on the other ingredients, particularly the quality of the olive oil/other oil I use.
I've never had problems with using basic vinegar brands, but I usually use red wine vinegar for salad dressings. Cider or malt vinegar would give very different results.
I use red wine vinegar, a bit of fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard, whatever herbs I feel like, if any, and salt and pepper to taste. I smash a garlic clove with the side of a knife and toss it in, but remove it before dressing.
The best vinegars in my pantry are Forum Cabernet Sauvignon vinegar, which is just divine, and sherry vinegar (can't remember the brand).
This has been very helpful -- thanks, everyone. I'm going to try these suggestions, particularly the addition of the sugar/honey. My recipes generally haven't included it, and maybe that's why the non-balsmic dressings have seemed so sharp/bitter.
Hey, I see you're new to CH. Welcome. I have learned an amazing amount here. Had never heard of sherry vinegar and now I own two bottles :) Also I now know the proper way to scramble eggs. You probably think you do too - you probably don't --- LOL. I learn something new ALL THE TIME. Good luck.
re: c oliver
Thanks for the welcome! This is my first real involvement on a message board and I'm amazed at all the great information I've been missing out on. TIme to go get some sherry vinegar and read up on scrambled eggs . . .
re: grayum
Re scrambled eggs:
re: grayum
Did you find sherry vinegar yet grayum? I get mine at Cost Plus - a big bottle (25.4 oz) of Don Bruno brand imported from Spain. It makes great dressing:-)

Linux for Dummies' back cover says it will teach the reader how to work with popular Linux distributions (specifically, Fedora, SUSE and Mandrake), choose an ISP and configure dialup access, understand bash syntax, install and use OpenOffice.org, and manage the Linux file system. It does all of these things, to a reasonable depth, but don't expect a heavy tutorial on any one of them: the whole point is naming and defusing common newbie problems. A DVD included with the book contains Red Hat's Fedora Core 1 and source code, making it a reasonable way to obtain that distro as well.

Ryan Malone to Play for the Rangers?
Here's the latest in the Ryan Malone saga.
NHL.COM -- Forward Ryan Malone will begin participating in informal skates with the New York Rangers on Monday, according to multiple sources and first reported by Larry Brooks of the New York Post.
Malone has been a free agent since the Tampa Bay Lightning used their second compliance buyout on the forward on June 25. At the time, Malone had one year and $2.5 million remaining on the seven-year, $31.5 million contract he signed with the Lightning in 2008.
Malone, 34, struggled last season in Tampa Bay, scoring five goals and 15 points in 57 games. A fourth-round pick (No. 115) of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1999 NHL Draft, he is a six-time 20-goal scorer and set career highs in his final season in Pittsburgh with 27 goals, 51 points, a plus-14 rating and 103 penalty minutes.

Rangers to sign Kevin Hayes
Well, it looks like the New York Rangers are the team that's going to land former Boston College forward Kevin Hayes.
Mike Halford, Pro Hockey Talk -- On Tuesday, various outlets (see here and here and here and here) reported that Hayes — the former Boston College standout taken 24th overall by Chicago at the '10 draft — has agreed to sign with the New York Rangers, ending a long, drawn-out saga in the process.
Hayes had consistently balked at signing in Chicago despite the 'Hawks drafting him out of high school four years ago, ahead of the likes of Evgeny Kuznetsov, Charlie Coyle and Emerson Etem. Instead, he completed a stellar career at BC, then simply allowed time to run out on his draft rights — on Aug. 15, the deadline for the 'Hawks to sign Hayes passed, making him an unrestricted free agent in the process.

Make or Break Time for J.T. Miller?
I found this article on T.J. Miller to be interesting, maybe because he was committed to UND for a minute, before he bolted for the greener pastures of the OHL. I still think college hockey would have done this kid some good.
SNYRangers.com -- Jeff Gorton says that the Rangers organization has "made it clear" to JT Miller what kind of opportunity he has in front of him this season. (Tal Pinchevsky)
Glen Sather said at the draft that they expect Miller to "come to play" this year. Sather said that Miller is "young, fits into the price range and will develop into a very good hockey player." He adds that Miller showed a lot of growth this past season.
It's been said before that the Rangers are counting on Miller to take a step this coming season.
Miller is "more than ready" to be an NHLer and should be able to beat out Chris Bourque or Chris Mueller for a roster spot. (The Hockey News)

Face it, Ryan Mantha isn't coming to UND.
If I was a betting man, and I am. I would say that this kid is OHL bound, and is not heading to UND next fall. No mention what-so-ever about UND. As I wrote in May, since 2011, UND has had five high-end recruits decommit and go the Major Junior route. Mantha would make six.
Update: Brad E. Schlossman from the Grand Forks Herald is reporting that Mantha is an academic causality.

Mantha added three assists in 10 playoff games with Indiana."

More reasons to not like the Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh Penguin defenseman Ulf Samuelsson was one of the dirtiest players to play the game of hockey, now he's in the running for the the Penguins head coaching job. More reasons to not like the Penguins.
TSN.CA -- New York Rangers assistant coach and former NHL defenceman Ulf Samuelsson is on the list of candidates who's interviewed for the head coaching job with the Pittsburgh Penguins, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.
Dreger reported on Tuesday that the Hurricanes sought permission from the Rangers to interview Samuelsson for their coaching vacancy.
Samuelsson played 16 seasons in the NHL with lenghty stints in both Pittsburgh and with the former Hartford Whalers.

2014 NHL Season: That's a wrap
What a season of hockey. The L.A. Kings win the 2014 Stanley Cup Final on a goal by a former Miami University defenseman Alec Martinez at the 14:43 mark of the second over time to give the Kings their second Stanley Cup in three years. Martinez scored the game-winning goal in game seven of the Western Conference Finals as well.

New York Rangers post mortem
My wife was asking me when the Stanley Cup Finals are going to be over. I told her, the Stanley Cup Finals will be over this week, probably on Wednesday night. There's no way the series makes it past Friday. If this was a title fight, they would have thrown in the white towel already. The Rangers are done, stick a fork in them.
This GIF by Pete Blackburn illustrates how the series has gone for the New York Rangers. Nothing has gone their way. They can't buy a break.
L.A. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick has been a brick wall during the Stanley Cup Finals and last night the All-World goalie stopped all 32 shots that he faced.

This one was pretty good. It's funny if you're a L.A. Kings fan and not if your cheer for the New York Rangers.
Marc Staal Hi-sticking Penalty, Alec Martinez Embellishment
First off, I want to be clear, this is a penalty. New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal hits L.A. Kings defenseman Alec Martinez with a high stick, that we can't denie. However, they teach must teach acting classes at Miami University, because this was a ridiculous head snap by Martinez. I would say that this display is worthy of an Academy Award. Even Ryan Kesler would blush at this one.

L.A Kings Justin Williams game winning goal.
L.A Kings forward Justin Williams scores the game winning goal in game one against the New York Rangers.
Stanley Cup Final Preview
Lets take a look at how these two teams got to the cup final, first starting with LA. The Kings were close to being out after four games against San Jose in the first round, but would become only the fourth team in NHL history to rally from down 3-0 to win the series and stun San Jose and their hungry fan base. .Goaltender Jonathan Quick would have a very slow start to the series, but would catch his 2012 form by series end, putting the entire NHL on alert that the Kings were coming.
The second round had them facing the other in state rival, the Anaheim Ducks. In another series where they would have to go the distance, the Kings would have to win game 7 on the road once again to have a date with the Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference Finals. They would do just that in another grinding series against another division, and in state rival.
Finally, for the Western Conference Final. This rematch from last year against the defending champs, Chicago. Chicago would get themselves in a hole early, and this time it would be LA who would have the commanding series lead going up 3-1. However, it looked as if Chicago would get the momentum advantage by rolling off two straight wins to force a game 7 at home. It had looked as if LA's season was about to come to an end, but with roughly seven minutes left in regulation, Marian Gaborik would put a rebound into the back of the net and tie the game. The Kings would get their third road game 7 win of this playoffs, the first team in NHL history to do that, and they became four wins away from hoisting Lord Stanley once again.
Round two saw the Blue Shirts playing Sid the Kid and an inconsistent goalie they call Flower. This series would turn out to be a great match-up and played pretty evenly throughout, even though the Rangers would find themselves in a 3-1 hole going into game five in Pittsburgh. The King would start to play like The King and New York found themselves in a spot they haven't been in in quite some time, the Eastern Conference Finals.
In an original six match-up, the Rangers would find themselves with home ice for the first time in the playoffs. Their opponent? The Montreal Canadiens. Montreal was Canada's only hope in these playoffs to win the cup this season, and Canada hasn't seen a cup champ since Montreal won it in 1993. New York would have something to say about that and would send the Habs packing. It would be New York's first trip to the cup final since 1994. I wonder what happened that year?
As for what I'd expect out of this series, speed and physicality. The Rangers will bring a lot of speed to the series, much more than the Kings saw in the entire playoffs so far. As for the physicality, LA will bring it with their big defensive core.
Who to watch:
For LA, they have many weapons who can put the puck in the net, but pay close attention to Marian Gaborik, the playoffs leading goal scorer, and that 70's line (Carter, Toffoli, and Pearson). This line has been on fire and will need to be kept in check.
For the Rangers, one must always watch the speedy Carl Hagelin. With his quick feet and quick release of the puck, he is always a threat. There are also the likely suspects in Brad Richards, Derek Stepan, Rick Nash, and Derek Brassard. Even though Nash hasn't done much in these playoffs, he will always be a threat when he is on the ice.
Finally, for who will win the Cup. It's simple. It comes down to what goalie is playing better in the series. You have two of the top three goaltenders in the world going head to head, Henrik Lundqvist and Jonathan Quick, and the one that breaks first will likely mean the series. Here's the thing though, even if one of them breaks, both teams still have very reliable back-ups as well.

New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens Handshake, no Shenanigans

Ruh-roh! The New York Rangers might want to put the Montreal Canadiens away in game six or they could end up facing Carey Price in game seven. Price was at practice, wearing full gear, and did face some shots. Price also did some side-to-side drills. Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Canada's Stanley Cup Drought
I can't believe it's been 20 years since the Stanley Cup was won by a team that resides in Canada. Ironically, it was the Montreal Canadiens that last won the Stanley Cup and they're probably not going to get out of the Eastern Conference Finals. The handshake game is tonight.
Mark Spector, Sportsnet -- Every June day was Edmonton Oilers Day in Edmonton 35 years ago. And when the Oilers failed to make it the Stanley Cup just twice in the eight years between 1983 and 1990, well, no problem. Montreal (1986) and Calgary (1989) took care of the Cup for Canada in Edmonton's off years, even playing each other in '89.
Can you imagine? Eight straight Cups featuring a Canadian team?
In the 22 Stanley Cups contested since, our country has sent six teams to the finals, winning just once. Ottawa took a turn in 2007, and each of Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver (twice) have suffered the indignity of a Game 7 loss in the final in the years since the Habs won our last Cup over Los Angeles in 1993.
(Video) History Will Be Made: Chris Kreider / Carey Price.
I think a fitting end to this series would be for New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider to score the game-winning goal.
If the #habs are going to blame Chris Kreider, they should be pointing the finger at Brandon Prust, too: http://t.co/QVRY9aY4Yg

Update: John Moore has a hearing for his on Dale Weise (Video)
New York Rangers forward John Moore was given a five-minute major and a match penalty for this hit on Montreal Canadians forward Dale Weise. I would be very shocked if Moore is playing in the next game. The hit was way late, and very high.
According to numerous beat writers on twitter, Moore will have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety tomorrow. I expect that Moore will be suspended by the NHL. Brandon Prust was suspended for two games for almost the same hit.
John Moore will have a hearing Wednesday with for an illegal check to the head of Dale Weise, @NHLPlayerSafety announces.

(Video) Martin St. Louis game-winning goal game four
New York Rangers forward Martin St. Louis makes no mistake as he buries the game-winning goal to give the New York Rangers a 3-2 win in overtime. This was an absolutely snipe. Hat tip to Carl Hagelin who had a two point game tonight.

(Video) Tomas Plekanec embellishment, Brian Boyle two minutes
This is a weak penalty in my opinion. Montreal Canadiens forward Tomas Plekanec should have gotten a Emmy for his award winning performance. No really, he should have gotten a two-minute minor for embellishment. Now lets be clear, New York Rangers forward Brian Boyle shouldn't be hitting Plekanec up high with his stick, but that's a brutal call by the officials. Plekanec would make the Vancouver Canucks forwards' Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows blush with that one.
Candiens Coach, "we know exactly where Derick Brassard is injured"
So, the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens Michel Therrien has cause a stir with these comments.
"We expect Derick Brassard to play and we know exactly where he's injured. Hockey is a small world," Therrien reportedly said in French, according to a tweet by a French-speaking TV reporter. (Newsday)That almost sounds like the head coach of the Canadiens put a bounty on someone's head. New York Rangers Beat writer Larry Brooks of the New York Post, thinks the NHL should look into this matter. Sounds like it could be an exciting game tonight.
