OLN Has Made Tremendous Strides

from Philly News,
Flyers chairman Ed Snider was chatting on the telephone Saturday night and watching the Outdoor Life Network as he talked. What was on? Hockey, what else? "Anaheim just scored," he said, announcing the Mighty Ducks' first and only goal in a game that Edmonton would win to capture the Western Conference. OLN carried the game, as it has a majority of them all year, and in Snider's assessment the unwanted league and unknown network have wound up making a pretty good team. "Fact is, the ratings on ESPN initially would have been higher," Snider said later on in the conversation. "But I think the network has made tremendous strides throughout the season.continued

from the CP via the Toronto Star,
A day after head coach Lindy Ruff described him as doubtful, Teppo Numminen of the Buffalo Sabres was hopeful to finally dress for Tuesday night's Game 6 of the NHL's Eastern Conference final. "I think we're at 80-20," the veteran defenceman said after the pre-game skate, when asked whether he was 50-50 to play. "It felt good this morning. We're going to push it a little more in the warmup tonight and hopefully everything goes well and I'll be able to play."continued

Interested In Redden & Chara

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun via Slam,
The reality is, if Chara, Redden and teammate Brian Pothier -- who is also unrestricted -- don't sign with Ottawa, they'd all be of interest to the Bruins. Boston would hardly be alone on the market. A check of NHL markets indicates Anaheim, Florida, New York Rangers, Islanders, Vancouver, Edmonton, San Jose, Toronto, Los Angeles and Nashville could all be ready to jump in on the bidding for Chara and Redden.

A2Y: How many players did you speak with, from both teams? Dater: I'd say about 50, give or take a few. A couple wouldn't talk for it, most notably Patrick Roy. He said he was just too busy with his junior team. He was also going through a divorce at the time I was calling, so that might have been a factor. That was a bit of a disappointment, but I got everybody else I really wanted.read on for an excellent interview by Bill at A2Y...

Canucks Need A Coach

from the Vancouver Province,
The Vancouver Canucks are still looking for Mr. Right. General manager Dave Nonis must have a new head coach signed, sealed and delivered long before the opening of the free-agent market on July 1. That's 30 days and this is not an option. Since the end of the NHL's regular season, every GM in the league has been busy talking to as many player agents as his long-distance plan will allow. It's a tough sell, especially if you can't even tell these people something as critical as who your coach is.continued added 1:43pm, It appears VCOE has gotten into the employment agency field.

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
Pity the poor fans and players in Long Island and St. Louis. The Islanders apparently have gone into a catatonic trance in terms of filling the role of GM vacated by Mike Milbury, who will be lurking upstairs in a new management position. The Blues are awaiting final approval from the league on the team's sale to Dave Checketts. Both teams are drifting aimlessly with the entry draft less than a month away and free agency set to begin July 1. Under current GM Larry Pleau, we know the Blues are working as though it's business as usual. But it would be extraordinary if Pleau remained after the ownership is confirmed, and it makes little sense to have a lame-duck regime making the most important player decisions in the team's history, including their first No. 1 overall draft pick.more

from the Toronto Sun,
With his young Buffalo team facing a win-or-go-home scenario, Ruff yesterday lobbed a verbal grenade at Laviolette by suggesting it is the Hurricanes who are feeling the heat despite being just one victory away from a berth in the final. Referring to Laviolette's 'Canes, Ruff said: "You'd hate to lose Game 6 and go into Game 7, where anything can happen. "For me, the pressure is on them. We have nothing to lose." Ruff was giddy at the way his Sabres played in the second half of their 4-3 overtime loss in Game 5, alleging the 'Canes had just one scoring chance in the final 30 minutes. For his part, Laviolette has issues with Ruff's mathematics.more from the Toronto Star,
After Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final, Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff accused the Carolina Hurricanes of diving and constantly looking to the referees for calls every time they got hit. It's an accusation that Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette doesn't quite comprehend.read on

Body language to play big role in presidential debate
Updated On: Oct 03 2012 05:06:35 PM CDT
Both President Obama and Mitt Romney's camps have been trying to downplay who will win the first presidential debate to lower expectations. But some experts say it's not the candidates' message that matters as much as their body language.
We see it every day. Gestures, postures and facial expressions. Our body language conveys powerful messages to people.
Penn State Lehigh Valley Associate Professor of Communications, Nichola Gutgold, said the same holds true during presidential debates.
"Image is more important than ever, and although it's paramount to have an informed electorate, our electorate is getting its information based on images in these elections."
Gutgold said how Obama and Romney stand, talk, make eye contact, listen and answer all matters.
"I think voters are going to be looking for the person who looks most comfortable, most authoritative," she explained. "And someone who looks as though they're ready to lead the country."
According to experts, body language has a huge influence on voters looking to reinforce their choice for president and may have a bigger impact than what's actually being said. So a lot is riding on Obama and Romney's performances.
"I think sometimes our president has a tendency to look impatient with someone that he's communicating with and I think he needs to guard against looking a little upset in his facial gestures," said Gutgold.
She adds Romney needs to make sure he doesn't come off as mean or angry.
"He has to be careful to look like the kindly elder statesman and so he should be careful about his body language with respect to those things."

Have tweets replaced letters as a way for voters to make their opinions known to lawmakers?
It's at least been added to the arsenal for citizens, The Hill reports.In a televised address July 25, President Barack Obama took to the bully pulpit, urging people to "keep the pressure on Washington…. Make a phone call, send an e-mail, tweet."And an Obama administration official says the strategy of applying pressure through social media paid off, Mashable reports. White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer tweeted to New York Times reporter Brian Stetler that the administration "believes e-mails/tweets helped pressure Congress to act."The administration even helped facilitate constituent contact with representatives by sending out tweets containing the Twitter handles of several Republican members of Congress. Obama's official Twitter account, @BarackObama, lost 36,000 followers in the process, but the administration also managed to get a deal to raise the debt ceiling in time to avoid default.

Scuba Quest began as a single shop, but has since spread to six locations across the state of Florida. At each, the company?s NAUI-certified instructors lead refresher courses, beginner classes, and comprehensive certification programs. Rather than climbing into fish tanks while pet-store clerks are on break, Scuba Quest's students can put their new skills to the test in unfamiliar waters during the company?s exotic diving excursions around the globe.

As a certified bicycle mechanic, he can also perform tune-ups and install modifications on any bike, from adding new chains and trueing wheels to replacing the playing cards in the spokes. When cyclists need new gear, Greenway has a selection of bike gear from sunglasses to cycling shoes to choose from. The shop is also located right on a Florida Greenway trail, making it a convenient stop for cyclists before or during scenic rides.
At Castaway Scuba Adventures, owner Marta Mullen and her team of underwater aficionados have stood as gatekeepers to the ocean for the past ten years. Amongst her many personal accolades, Marta is a platinum instructor through Scuba Schools International (SSI), a globally recognized organization on par with the likes of PADI or NAUI. This means that Marta and her staff can effectively train students of all experience levels, including those seeking certification and those planning a blind date with a svelte piece of coral. Aside from instructional programs, every month Castaway Scuba Adventures organizes two or three local diving trips to complement its pair of annual international getaways.

I'm just gonna give it to you straight. I love playing tanks and support. If I had my way, I'd play Janna and Shen every game.
However, due to schedule conflicts, I can't premade with any of my friends who I know are good. Thus, I am forced to solo queue.
My one wish for this game is that matchmaking gets to a point when I don't have to be afraid of losing whenever I play a tank/support.

Illinois judges support effort to provide 1 million meals to hungry Illinoisans
Online Staff Report
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — During the last two weeks in February, several courthouses in Illinois will become more than symbols of law, order and justice: they will serve as collection points for Lawyers Feeding Illinois, a food and fund-raising drive by the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA) to provide 1 million meals to hungry Illinoisans.
Thanks to the efforts of Illinois judges, collection containers for non-perishable food items will be placed in courthouses in Bloomington, Danville, Dixon, Edwardsville, Galesburg, Joliet, Kankakee, Mt. Vernon, Ottawa, Peoria, Quincy, Rockford, Rock Island, Urbana and Wheaton, and the Lake County Bar Association office in Waukegan.
The campaign, to be held Feb. 18-March 1, aims to help the estimated 1.9 million hungry Illinoisans obtain adequate food.
"Judges in Illinois wanted to get behind this effort and play a part in helping this important cause," said Judge Robert Anderson, of Wheaton, and Judge Izzy Desierto, of Chicago, officers in the Illinois Judges Association, who are coordinating the effort.
In cooperation with Feeding Illinois and support from the Office of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, the ISBA's food and fund-raising drive is the brainchild of ISBA President John E. Thies of Urbana. His wife, Terry, is chairman of the steering committee for the event.
Since it was launched in mid-November at a news conference with Madigan, more than 80 lawyers and lawyer teams have signed up to participate. Information and a lawyer sign-up page are available at www.lawyersfeedingil.org.
Thies said the entire bar welcomed the judges' support. "These are difficult times financially for many Illinois families," he stated. "Efforts by our state's judges will help call attention to the ongoing problem of hunger, as well as collect non-perishable food items that directly help families and individuals in need."
The 32,000-member ISBA (isba.org), with offices in Springfield and Chicago, provides professional services to Illinois lawyers, and education and services to the public through a website (illinoislawyerfinder.com), a cable television program ("Illinois Law"), consumer brochures and distribution of legal information.
Feeding Illinois is a coalition of eight Feeding America food banks providing food to 1,885 agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters that feed 1.4 million residents across the state. The organization is committed to educating people about the role of food banks in addressing hunger and raising awareness of the need to devote more resources and attention to hunger issues.
Feeding Illinois is composed of Central Illinois Foodbank, Eastern Illinois Foodbank, Greater Chicago Food Depository, Northern Illinois Food Bank, the Peoria Area Food Bank, River Bend Foodbank, St. Louis Area Foodbank and Tri-State Foodbank.

My father's family originally had the name LeBuffe when they came over to Canada from France in the early 1800's. There may be a link between LeBuff and LeBuffe. In our case it appears that the mispelling was the result of an illiterate ancestor.
It may be that your grandfather anglicized the name by dropping the 'e' or it may have been another case of misspelling upon arrival.

Along the way he meets up with an unusual traveling companion, La Llorona, the legendary "Weeping Woman" of Mexican and Central American mythology. La Llorona tells Miguel, "You must find your voice! Porque…who can live without a voice in this world? Without a voice, you have no story…no one knows where you come from, why you are here…without your voice, you disappear!" Through their magical friendship, Miguel finds his voice and the courage to cross the border to a new life. Miguel's story is relevant to immigrant children from all parts of the world … and to any child who is learning the many meanings of finding one's own "voice." PERFORMANCES:

Hi: 7° Lo:5°
By Tristan Harris Thursday 17 July 2014 Updated: 20/07 22:34
PLANS for North Bromsgrove High School's First World War commemorations received a boost this week after a bronze plaque listing ten ex-pupils who died in the conflict was found after more than seven years.
The plate, which was feared lost, was relocated in the archive room, having been taken down and wrapped up in protective packaging, before being put in storage when the school moved to its new building in 2007.
As well as the bronze plaque, the school has uncovered registers dating back to when it first opened in 1905 as Bromsgrove County High School and research is also underway to find out more about those from the school who served in the Great War.
Headteacher David Hadley-Price said: "It's great that we have located the bronze plaque so it can now be used as part of the First World War commemorations."
The plan is to have the memorial unveiled as part of the special service on November 11.
Organisers also want any past pupils or people who think their ancestors went to North and served in the First World War to get in touch by emailing email@example.com

By katieh
from St. Paul, MN
These are the perfect size for small dogs. I've had a hard time finding the right size treat for my rat terrier, most treats he has to drop on the floor and eat in pieces because they're too big. Plus, they don't have an overpowering smell like most bacon-flavored treats, but my dog knows the second I have one in my hand. If you want to use them for training, they break easily into pieces so you don't have to give your dog the entire treat for each recall. It's a huge bonus that they're made with good ingredients too. I'm always wary of some of the things the big brands put in their treats, so I feel good about giving these to my dog.

SA remains region's most competitive, ranked third among BricsBack
© Reuse this
The country is ranked 52nd this year, down from 50th in 2011, and is placed third among the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (Brics) economies. Last year, South Africa was ranked second among the Brics nations, but was overtaken by Brazil this year.
The 2012/13 report added Liberia and Seychelles to its list, bringing the total number of countries considered to 144.
Switzerland and Singapore retained their positions as first and second most competitive countries, while Finland replaced Sweden in third place, moving up from fourth place last year.
But despite remaining the highest-ranked in region, the WEF pointed out that South Africa would need to address some weaknesses, such as labour, to further enhance its competitiveness.
The country's labour-market efficiency ranking fell 18 places from last year to 113th, with rigid hiring and firing practices (143rd), a lack of flexibility in wage determination by companies (140th), as well as tensions in labour-employer relations (144th).
The WEF stated that efforts should also be made to increase the local university enrolment rate to better develop South Africa's innovation potential.
"Combined efforts in these areas will be critical in view of the country's high unemployment rate of almost 25% in the second quarter of 2012," the report read.
Further, the index found that South Africa's infrastructure, although good (63rd) by regional standards, required upgrading.
The poor security situation remained another important obstacle to doing business in South Africa, while the high business costs of crime and violence (134th) and the sense that the police force were unable to provide sufficient protection from crime (90th) did not contribute to an environment that fostered competitiveness.
The health of the workforce, which ranked 132nd out of 144 economies, was also found to be another point of concern.
The WEF pointed out that South Africa performed particularly well in the 'financial market development' pillar, ranking third. This indicated high confidence in the country's financial markets when trust is returning slowly in many other parts of the world.
Africa's largest economy also fared well on the quality of its institutions and on factor allocation, such as intellectual property protection (20th), property rights (26th), the accountability of its private institutions (2nd) and its goods market efficiency (32nd).
Further, South Africa performed reasonably well in more complex areas such as business sophistication (38th) and innovation (42nd), benefiting from good scientific research institutions (34th) and strong collaboration between universities and the business sector in innovation (30th).
More generally, sub-Saharan Africa had significant growth over the last 15 years, registering growth rates of over 5% in the past two years. The WEF noted that the region continued to exceed the global average and to exhibit a favourable economic outlook.
The region has recovered rapidly from the global economic crisis, when gross domestic product growth dropped to 2.8% in 2009.
However, the report stated that sub-Saharan Africa still lagged behind the rest of the world in terms of its competitiveness, requiring efforts across many areas to place it on a firmly sustainable growth and development path going forward.
Although growth in middle-income countries in the region, such as South Africa, seemed to have followed the global slowdown more closely, lower-income and oil-exporting countries have been largely unaffected. These regional variations were reflected in the latest rankings.
Mauritius retained its placing at 54th, the second-highest ranked country in sub-Saharan Africa.
Rwanda's moved up seven places to 63rd position, continuing to place third in the region.
The Seychelles entered the index for the first time, at 76th overall and 4th in the region.
Botswana improved slightly, up one place to 79th and is one of the top five economies in the region.
However, Namibia continued its downward trend and fell nine places to 92nd place, with weakening across most areas measured by the index.
Ghana was ranked 103rd, moving up by 11 places since last year, while Kenya came in at 106th, showing a relatively steady performance.
Liberia also entered the rankings for the first time and achieve 111th place, and Nigeria improved to the 115th place after some deterioration over recent years.
Further, Tanzania and Zimbabwe remained stable at 120th and 132nd respectively, while Mozambique fell to 138th from 133rd last year.

Matthew McConaughey Weight Loss: Scary!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
He isn't gracing the covers of any tabloids and screaming about how HE DID IT, but Matthew McConaughey has lost some serious weight.
Some seriously scary amounts of weight, really.
The 42-year old is wasting himself away for the role of Ron Woodruff - a real-life HIV patient in the 1980s who smuggled in medications from Mexico - in The Dallas Buyers Club. It stars filming this week.
McConaughey has lost over 30 pounds from his typical frame, thanks to vigorous exercise and a diet that likely cuts out many carbs and fatty acids.
We'd imagine he knows an easy salmon recipe or two that helps keep him trim.
What a shocking image, huh?
Give me a BREAK! THE MAN LOST WEIGHT FOR A PART IN A MOVIE. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL? SIGH..
Silly little body
Lol XD

Run franchise-best win streak to 15
The high-flying Los Angeles Clippers haven't tasted defeat in more than a month and the NBA leaders continue to sail through opponents into uncharted waters.
Matt Barnes knocked down five threes en route to a season-high-tying 21 points, fellow-reserve Jamal Crawford added 17 and the surging Clippers extended their franchise-record winning streak to 15 on Thursday night with a 106-77 mauling of the visiting Boston Celtics.
Blake Griffin scored 15, Caron Butler added 14 while Chris Paul dished out 11 assists for the Clippers (23-6), who own the NBA's longest streak since the Celtics ran off 19 straight during the 2008-09 season.
Kevin Garnett scored 16 points while Paul Pierce and Jeff Green added 12 apiece for the Celtics (14-14), who never led and suffered their most lopsided loss in the series.
Elsewhere, Kevin Durant dropped in 40 points, Russell Westbrook had eight of his 16 points in overtime, including the go-ahead layup with 64 seconds left, as the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped a season-high two-game slide 111-105 with a gritty come-from-behind victory over the visiting Dallas Mavericks.
Serge Ibaka had 19 with 17 rebounds while Kevin Martin scored 18 off the bench for the defending Western Conference Champions (22-6), who rallied from 10 down in the fourth frame en route to their 11th straight home-court victory. Earlier, Dallas' Darren Collison netted a season-high 32 points, including a desperation one-footed heave at the buzzer to force overtime at 98-98.DPA

pillow feels like a cloud
The pillow feels like you are sleeping on a cloud.
- Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes
flatten very quickly
Seem nice and fluffy when new, but after just a week of use they are seperating and flattened. The stuffing is very light weight and doesn't have much denisity to keep it's shape. Buying the right pillow is difficult, and I would not recommend these, far too over priced for such poor quality.
