The Wild's schedule is expected to be released Sunday afternoon, but I have heard a few details through the grapevine -- one that is expected to be announced later Saturday.
The Wild will open the season Oct. 9 with a home-and-home against the Colorado Avalanche, the Central Division champs the Wild defeated in seven games in the first round a few months back.
The Wild's supposed to continue to Anaheim and Cup champion Los Angeles after playing in Denver, but unless the Wild managed to get the NHL to squeeze another game in there, the Wild, last I heard, had five or six days off before playing its third game of the season in Anaheim.
Some other tidbits: The Kings come to Minnesota the first time Nov. 26. The Wild has a home-and-home with Winnipeg in December, plays in Columbus on New Year's Eve and closes the season with three games on the road in a bit of a meat grinder at Chicago, Nashville and St. Louis. That follows consecutive home games against the Rangers, Detroit and Winnipeg.
As I mentioned last week, no outdoor game this season. It was supposed to be in February against Dallas at Target Field.
According to an NHL source, the Wild is at the "top of the list" for a stadium-series game and was scheduled to have a game this year. What held it up was timing and logistics, the source said. The Wild wants to make this a huge event by having outdoor high school and college games accompanying the stadium series game.
The problem, I'm told, is the league wants the game to be here in February and for this upcoming season, the colleges had their schedules already booked and couldn't just insert an outdoor game into their schedules right before their playoffs. In addition, February is getting awfully close to Twins season and could cause havoc on Target Field's ... field.
The league source said, "At the end of the day, both of us determined that next year would be better. It's going to happen next year."
We'll see though. As we have learned, everything is subject to change (I reported during the playoffs the Wild would be getting a stadium-series game next season and now it isn't) and the Wild still would prefer the actual Winter Classic. The problem though is according to a league source the 2016 Winter Classic site has been determined. Although it hasn't been announced where, the game has not been awarded to Minnesota, so the soonest the Wild could host one is 2017.
Personally, I still hear there's more to this stadium-series thing that has nothing to do with the Wild and that's why the stadium-series games were scaled down this year to one. Next year, I'm told we're going to see more than one game again.

Good day from partly cloudy, mostly humid Minneapolis. Here's a Wild update:
1. Preseason schedule has been announced: Six-game schedule with home-and-homes (so to speak) with Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and St. Louis.
Training camp is expected to begin Sept. 18.
Sept. 22 at Winnipeg, 7 p.m.; Sept. 25 at Pittsburgh, 6 p.m.; Sept. 27 vs. Winnipeg, 7 p.m.; Sept. 29 vs. Pittsburgh, 7 p.m.; Oct. 2 at St. Louis, 7 p.m.; Oct. 4 vs. St. Louis, 7 p.m.
Tickets will go on sale later this summer.
My guess is the Wild then heads to Duluth on Oct. 5 for a few days of practice. Just conjecture, but it fits before the opener later that week and the Wild loves the facilities and ability to do some team bonding up in UMD Country.
2. Last I heard, the NHL plans to release all schedules Sunday. Weird day to do so, but that's always a fun day. As I mentioned the other day, no outdoor game this year. The league is scaling back to one stadium series game. Also, for a change, I heard the Wild's on the road New Year's Eve!
3. I plan to host a draft/free agency live chat on startribune.com next Friday (Round 1 is later that night). Time to be announced.
4. The Wild's expected to sign undrafted free agent defenseman Guillaume Gelinas on July 1. The signing was first reported (I believe) by TVA Sports in Quebec. It's a verbal commitment right now because as of June 1, there was a freeze for undrafted North American free agents (the Wild signed undrafted forwards Brady Brassart and Zack Mitchell in March) until July 1.
Gelinas, 21, was named the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's best defenseman this past season after scoring 23 goals and 92 points in 67 games for Val-d'Or. He scored another 34 points in 24 playoff games for a team that lost the Memorial Cup to Edmonton.
Wild's trying to put an influx of skill on AHL Iowa after a very tough season in which the Baby Wild lacked skill, health and was probably too old.
Gelinas is skilled and competitive but 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, so initially the AHL will be a decent step.
So, it's a flier.
Maybe Gelinas turns out to be Jared Spurgeon, who also had a terrific junior career (139 points in his last three years; harder to score in the W than the Q, so apples and oranges in terms of stats) before not being signed by the Islanders and then going untouched through another draft.
Maybe Gelinas turns out to be Michel Periard. Who? He's just a name that kind of jumped into my head because he was of similar stature and had similar stats in the Q (100 points his last year, I think) to Gelinas probably 15 years ago. Chuck Fletcher's Florida Panthers took a flier on him and he never played North American pro hockey beyond the A.
My point: Risk-free move, but let's be realistic with expectations. Maybe he turns out to be a player. Maybe he doesn't. When the Wild signed Spurgeon, I probably put a single line into the paper. Same thing with Brassart and Mitchell. Heck, when the Wild signed Niklas Backstrom as the first-ever European free agent under the previous CBA, I put a single paragraph. All he did was become the Wild's all-time goaltending leader in games and wins.
It's just hard to know with undrafted players until the Wild gets its grip on them and has a chance to develop them.
5. The salary cap is expected to be close to $70 million when it's announced next week. The Wild's will be a shade under after a slight bonus overage. Fletcher told me during the playoffs that Nino Niederreiter, Erik Haula and Jonas Brodin hit bonuses. Capgeek.come has it as Niederreiter and Haula earning each $212,500 for plus-minus and Brodin $425,000 for time on ice.
That's $825,000 in bonuses. But I'm told the Wild didn't go over the cap by that much, so the overage on next year's cap will be less. Either way, the overage shouldn't impact the Wild in its offseason business because Fletcher will always try to be at least $2 million or more under the cap so the team can make in-season injury callups and potential trades.
6. Lot of questions as to whether the Wild may pursue Cup champ Willie Mitchell in free agency. My guess: It makes sense if the Wild's unable to re-sign Clayton Stoner. Stoner and Mitchell seemingly would play the same role (third-pair, left-shot, physical D). As I mentioned last week, the Wild will try to re-sign Stoner, but maybe his solid postseason will allow him to cash in as a UFA more than the Wild's willing to commit. Stoner will have to decide that.
7. Some questions from you as to whether the Wild may pursue Shawn Thornton now that Boston's moving on from the rugged winger. I've heard through sources that the Wild would like to re-sign Cody McCormick, but Thornton is arguably a better, tougher player (more expensive, too), so maybe the Wild holds off on trying to sign McCormick just to see if it has a shot at Thornton. I don't see why there's a rush to re-sign McCormick, so if it were me, I'd wait to see what Thornton is thinking. I'm sure he'll have a lot of interest though.
Interesting dynamic to this year's draft. The free-agent interview period begins Wednesday. This is a new wrinkle thrown into this CBA where teams are allowed to court July 1 pending free agents, bring them to cities to check it out, etc. Well, the entire NHL will be in Philadelphia from Wednesday-Saturday night or Sunday morning, so one wonders if the draft becomes a free-agent recruiting party.
It certainly makes sense for agents to bring their free agents to Philly and line up meeting after meeting.
The Wild and Chicago Blackhawks play Game 6 tonight at Xcel Energy Center (8 p.m., CNBC).
A Wild win, and Game 7 at 7 p.m. Thursday in Chicago. A Blackhawks win, and they advance to play the winner of Anaheim-Los Angeles (Ducks are up 3-2). According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Wild's looking to become the first NHL team to force consecutive Game 7s in one postseason without series lead since the 1987 Isles.
I'll be on Fox Sports North tonight at 7:20.
The Wild has rallied from 0-2 deficits in each of the past two series only to lose Game 5. Last round, it forced a Game 7 and eventually eliminated Colorado.
"Our survival instincts have been much stronger than our killer instincts," coach Mike Yeo said this morning. "Certainly it will be tested again tonight."
Nobody can question Chicago's killer instincts. The Blackhawks never want to take their chances in Game 7.
According to the Chicago Sun Times' Mark Potash, they are 7-0 in Game 6 clinchers, including a 5-0 mark on the road.
In Game 6 against Colorado, Zach Parise had two goals and two assists.
"Just knowing that we've been here," Parise said. "I think there's a lot of similarities between the two series. The games that we've lost we feel like we may not have played great, but we've had a chance to win. I'm sure they're saying the same things about the games here. We've played pretty well throughout and that was the same as last series. I think we feel good about it because we're still pretty confident in here."
The Wild is 5-0 at home this postseason, outscoring Chicago and Colorado 16-5, including 4-0 and 4-2 against the Blackhawks.
In the seven Game 6 clinchers according to Potash, Kane has seven goals, 12 points and is plus-6. Toews has five goals, 11 points and is plus-5.
Don't expect a big motivational speeck from Joel Quenneville tonight: "I'm not a very frilly guy with the motivational speeches. I might have tried one of those motivational speeches, and I probably blew it."
Two lineup changes for the Wild tonight:
Keith Ballard will replace Nate Prosser after missing Game 5 following the Brandon Bollig hit from behind. Darcy Kuemper will back up Ilya Bryzgalov instead of John Curry.
As for the Hawks:
#Blackhawks lines: Sharp-Toews-Hossa, Saad-Handzus-Kane, Bickell-Regin-Versteeg, Nordstrom-Kruger-Smith. That is the optimal lineup, IMO.
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) May 13, 2014
Ryan Suter missed the morning skate because he had a dentist appointment, according to Yeo.
"Scheduled cleaning," Yeo said, smiling. "So that's why he was not there."
Frankly, I don't think he was kidding.
On Kuemper backing up, Yeo said, "It's been kind of coming about for the last couple days. It's tough between Hards and Johnny Curry and Kuemps, obviously we make sure that Bryz gets what he needs every morning, and we don't have a ton of quality practice time right now, so when you have three guys pretty much sharing one net, it's kind of difficult for any of those guys to get the workload that he needs. But he had a real good practice yesterday, he felt really good, so this has been coming for a couple days and happy to have him back.
Matt Moulson skated during today's skate but won't play. He has a lower-body injury, but like I said yesterday, who do you put him in for?
"He's close," Yeo said. "I think it was important for him to have a good skate today and hopefully we can take care of business and make a decision based on the next game. Obviously we've got to take care of tonight, first."
On tonight's must-win, Yeo said, "I'm excited. I would say that there's pressure on both teams, and if you don't embrace that, then there's something wrong. You don't coach or you don't play to play an exhibition game or Game 23 of the regular season. You do all that stuff to get yourself to this point. These are the games you dream of and, with that, we all have got to find a way to be at our best tonight and embrace that challenge. It's going to be a great one. They're going to play really well and, with that, we should make sure that we go all-in with our game. We can't play with any fear. We have to make sure that we're not afraid of anything, that we might lose. The only thing that should be entering our thought process is what's a possibility of being gained."
Ballard is excited to be back.
"I feel fine. I felt fine for a couple days. I think we were being fairly cautious that night. By the time I got done seeing the doctors, it was in the third period. We were trying to be pretty smart about it. There was no chance that I would play if I had symptoms. I'd been through that before, been down that road a couple times, and the more you kind of learn about these things and the more information that's coming out, the long-term effects, they're not worth it to put yourself in that situation."
On the awareness of concussions, Ballard said, "They've become more strict over the years and more aware of the effects of playing after without seeing a doctor and making sure there's no symptoms. They're doing their job.
"I think sometimes, you don't know how you're feeling unless you've been through it a couple times and understand the symptoms. You think, 'ah, I don't have a headache, but I don't feel right. I'm a little bit out of it. I'm more irritable' or whatever. There's so many different symptoms, and I've had over the years a couple concussions. I've become more aware of how I'm feeling and understanding what goes along with it.
"It's not an injury that you necessarily are in a lot of pain or anything. You get some headaches here and there. They can all vary, too. It's just more of when you know the long-term effects. I've got little kids at home. I don't want to be putting myself in a position where in 10 years I can't remember their names and can't get through a day functioning normally, so that's the scary part of these things."
On Bollig's two-game suspension, "I don't really care that much about it. I don't think it was a good hit, but I also understand the circumstances. It's a big game, and he's trying to generate some energy. I don't think it was a smart hit, but I don't think it was some of the worst things we see out there sometimes. I think sometimes the energy of the game, the emotion and the type of player -- everybody has those players -- they're out there and trying to generate some momentum and be physical, and it was just maybe a little bit over the line.
Asked if he heard from Bollig, Ballard said, "No. Too much gets made of the whole 'did he text you? … I honestly don't care. That's what happens, right? I've hit guys, and they've been injured. I don't think it was an overly malicious kind of hit. It was probably a dumb play, but that stuff doesn't really matter to me."
The Portland Winterhawks blew a 2-0 series lead and lost in Game 7 to Edmonton last night, meaning no Memorial Cup for Matt Dumba.
He led the WHL in plus-minus with a plus-18 and led WHL defensemen with eight goals and was tied for second among defensemen with 18 points.
Today's the three-year anniversary of Derek Boogaard's death in his downtown Minneapolis apartment. Keep the big guy's family in your thoughts.
Afternoon from the friendly sky, where I'm taking a quick hop over to Chicago for Game 5 between the Wild and Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday (8 p.m., CNBC, KFAN).
The Wild and Blackhawks mostly had the day off. The Wild had an optional but a good amount of players were around. The Blackhawks made coach Joel Quenneville, Marcus Kruger and Michal Handzus available, so slim pickings.
Coach Q said Andrew Shaw (lower body) is unlikely to play Game 5.
Similarly, coach Mike Yeo said Keith Ballard (upper body) and Matt Moulson (lower body) didn't made the trip to Chicago. Ballard, two games after returning from two months off with a groin injury, was hit from behind by Blackhawks forward Brandon Bollig, who got away with a head shot in my opinion on Zach Parise in the final regular-season meeting.
The NHL's Department of Player Safety got him this time, suspending him for two games. Not sure if that helps the Wild or not.
Yeo said that Nate Prosser will likely slide back into the lineup. The other option is Jon Blum, who played well down the stretch for the Wild when Clayton Stoner and Ballard were both out at the same time.
The Wild improved to 5-0 at home with last night's 4-2 victory to even up the series. It has outscored opponents 16-5 at home, holding Colorado and Chicago to an average of 19.6 shots per game. The Blackhawks are 5-0 at home, having outscored opponents 20-7.
The Wild is 1-5 on the road, having been outscored 26-17. As we learned last round against the Avs, even though the Wild held a third-period lead and nearly won Game 5, it took its foot off the gas and lost. That put the pressure back on Minnesota, and the Wild had to win Game 6 at home and Game 7 on the road in order to advance to its first second round in 11 years.
By winning two games at home, the Wild has turned the momentum in the series. The players and coach Mike Yeo know that can easily change with a road loss on Sunday night. On the other hand, if the Wild can sneak out a big 'W' at the United Center against a Blackhawks team that is clearly frustrated right now, the Wild will put itself in position to win the series at home Tuesday in front of its raucous crowd in an arena where it has been dominant all postseason.
"Thinking back to Games 1 and 2, I said at that time, it's not like we were that far off," Yeo said. "We knew we could play a little bit better and I think we've picked our game up since then. Certainly when you look back to those two games, there were parts of it that were going well and then it was a big mistake that came back at us. I think we've cut down on our mistakes the last couple games and we have to make sure that we bring that in there. But with that, there's been sort of a little bit more of an aggressive mindset in how we executed the last couple games and that's allowed us to get on the attack a little bit more. It's a fine line. We have to make sure that we're playing smart, but we can't be playing safe. We've got to take that attitude into their building."
Big game, to say the least, which is why Yeo spent the afternoon reminding his team not to let its guard down. It'll be a challenge, but the Wild has to somehow figure out a way to carry the same type of game it has played all playoffs long at home and carry it into the Windy City.
"It's a huge game," Dany Heatley said of Sunday. "But I don't feel the vibe in here that we're too confident or over-cocky right now. We know they're a very good team, they play well in their rink. We'll be prepared for that."
The Wild continues to get tremendous play from its youngsters. From the Wild game notes, the five youngest forwards -- Wild rookies Erik Haula (23) and Justin Fontaine (26), playoff rookies Nino Niederreiter (21) and Mikael Granlund (22), and sophomore Charlie Coyle (22) – have combined for 13 goals (Granlund, 4), 27 points (Coyle/Granlund, 7), 81 hits (Niederreiter, 31) and 27 blocked shots (Granlund/Haula, 10).
"They've been great," Heatley said. "Obviously a huge reason why we're here. They've been great for us all year. Whatever role they've played, they've done a great job. Awesome to see the success there having in the playoffs. They're all real good kids, they work really hard, and it's been a lot of fun to be around them.
"I think everyone needs to step it up to win games in the playoffs. I thought towards the end of the year those guys got better as did our whole team. We went into the playoffs playing pretty well and those guys have taken it to another level."
We always talk about the youngsters, but we rarely include Jared Spurgeon because he has been around for four years. But he is 24 and he has been dynamite since the first couple games of the playoffs. Look at the skill plays he made last night, having his head up to make the stretch pass to Coyle for the Niederreiter winner, the settling of Mikko Koivu's pass and the patience to score the power-play goal.
"I think as we've asked our team to get better, he's taken his game to another level," Yeo said. "This is a guy that we have so much respect for as a coaching staff. Not just the way that he executes, the poise that he has, his ability to create offense with his execution, but he's a very good defender. He's got a great stick, he's very smart, he's a great skater and he's sneaky strong. He's a huge part of our team but again to see where his game is at right now obviously offensively this time of year especially playing against a team like this, you need some offense from your defensemen, you need to create some offense from secondary guys whether that's from your defense or whether that's from third or fourth line guys. If you're going to have any success, guys like that are usually stepping up."
And then there's Niederreiter, who is coming of age this postseason.
It seemed to start in Game 6 last round.
"I remember that game that even his first period was sort of OK, but then something just flipped," Yeo said. "He flipped a switch there, and it was just an opportunity for us to say OK, there it is, that's the blueprint for what we need night after night. It's been a work in progress, but certainly that game, for me, was one where obviously, he played a great game, had all of the heroics of the Game 7, but for me, a lot of that started in Game 6."
In Game 7, on Spurgeon's tying goal that he set up, Niederreiter gave Spurgeon a kiss on the helmet. Last night, after Ilya Bryzgalov made back-to-back huge saves in the third to rob Jeremy Morin and keep the lead at 4-2, Niederreiter similarly pecked Bryzgalov on the helmet.

"Yeah, that was such a big save. I was just so happy," Niederreiter said, smiling. "It happened so quickly. Just being thankful I guess. I did that to Spurg when he scored the tying goal in Game 7. It's silly but you appreciate stuff like that."
The Wild leads the NHL with 16 goal scorers this postseason. Quite amazing for a team that lacked scoring depth during the regular season.
"Are you saying that we didn't see it during the year?" Yeo said, laughing, when I asked in probably a bewildered tone. "I feel like we're all improving. Everything's kind of cyclical, there's no question, but everybody's going out, everybody's contributing in the same way, but they're all doing it in their own way, too. The roles have been identified, guys have really bought into them, but just the team game, I think we've been very strong in that regard. Like we've asked of our guys, we've gotten better as a team, and that's what we want to keep doing here."
Talk to you after the morning skates Sunday. Enjoy your weekend.
Game 7. Wednesday night. 8:30. Denver.
Nothing better than a Game 7 and the Wild will play in its first since 2003 after beating the Colorado Avalanche, 5-2, tonight in front of a raucous crowd at the X.
The Wild is 2-0 all-time in Game 7's. In 2003, the Wild rallied from two 3-1 deficits to beat Colorado and Vancouver in Games 7s. The one in Colorado ended Patrick Roy's goaltending career. Wednesday, the Wild will try to end the coach's season.
"We fought all year to be in that position if there was a Game 7," said Roy, who coached the team that won the Central "It's in our building, in front of our fans. I think it's going to be exciting. It's great for our team. It's going to be a great experience. We're not happy to lose tonight but I thought both teams played really well, and it was a great hockey game. That game could have gone either way."
The men with the letters on their chest – Zach Parise, Mikko Koivu and Ryan Suter – helped lead the Wild to a big Game 6 win.
Parise scored the winning goal with 6:29 left as part of a career-high four-point (two goals) night. That's also a Wild playoff record. He has points in all six games of the series and leads the Wild with 10. Koivu had two assists and was sensational on the winning goal, winning two board battles, pressuring Jan Hejda into a turnover and shooting the puck that Parise deflected.
"I knew we had someone in front of the net, I didn't know it was Zach, so I just threw it in from the point," Koivu said.
Koivu also won 17 of 28 faceoffs. And Suter recovered from a bigtime boo-boo by having two assists in a solid 26 minutes, 41 seconds.
The Wild got early goals by Parise (fastest playoff goal in Wild history 49 seconds in) and Mikael Granlund for a 2-0 lead. But with a chance to make it 3-0 on a 67-second 5-on-3, Suter shanked a shot and Ryan O'Reilly hit Paul Stastny for a shorthanded breakaway goal.
"I kind of fluffed that shot, and it ends up in our net," Suter said.
The Avs tied the game on an early second-period power play, and that made for a tense rest of the second and third period.
But with the fans in the lower bowl standing the entire third, Parise scored the winner. And, for a change, Jason Pominville and Marco Scandella scored empty-netters. Remember, in the two overtime losses in Denver, the Wild failed to score with the net empty and it came back to bite them both times (a lot more on that in the game story on startribune.com/wild).
"There was a lot on the line for us, I thought for the most part we played a pretty solid game and dictated a lot," Parise said.
When the game turned in the second, Mike Yeo shortened his bench and scrambled his lines. In the third, he reunited the Parise-Koivu-Charlie Coyle line. I wish I could go back to Twitter to see how many fans have to eat their words after Koivu and Parise teamed for the winner.
"I wanted to get Mikko and Zach together," Yeo said. "The season was on the line for us and kind of the way the game was going, both of those guys were leading the charge up front, and for me, their determination, their kind of get-after-it attitude, I wanted those guys going out together, and I thought that everybody else did a real good job of it too. We didn't have enough of a spark, and we can't just ask them to change mentally, we got to do something on our part to help them along."
Most impressive about tonight is how the Wild did recover from that shortie.
"We have an opportunity to go up 3-0 and they score a shorthanded goal," Yeo said. "It gave them an awful lot of life, and eventually we started to get a little bit of fear in our game, not necessarily afraid of them, just afraid of what we were losing, and with that we weren't dictating, we weren't on our toes, and we were kind of letting them come at us, so for me it was a shift mentally that we had to recognize that what we have to do here is win a period, and if we win a period at home, we give ourselves a chance to go play in a game 7, so seize the opportunity."
On Game 7, Yeo said, "We have to be excited about this opportunity and go in there and play our best game of the series. We are going there with a real purpose in how we play that game. And so it's going to be fun. The way we played the third period was really big for me. I looked at the overtime losses we had and when something happened in the game that shifted the momentum we were able to get it back. And certainly having the intermission helped with that. The other team is going to have a push, that's a skilled group, they are going to make some plays, there is going to be a point in the game where they come at you and for me, this is kind of the one game in particular where we did a good job pushing back. We said not tonight."
The home team has won all six games in the series.
"You'd like to think the road team has a chance to win a game. The only thing that matters is we get ready to play our best game of the series," Yeo said.
Yeo didn't let matchups dictate tonight. He had no problem getting anybody out against Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog and Stastny. Landeskog and MacKinnon were each minus-3.
"It's all or nothing now," said Matt Duchene, who returned from a knee injury tonight. "Win or go home. I think it's a great opportunity for a lot of us in here, a great experience. It's been a homer series so far. I think our home fans are going to be outstanding, and we can't wait to get back in front of them."
Said Roy (I didn't fact-check this yet), "In my Game 7, I might be wrong on a few numbers here, I think on the road I'm 0-6 and at home I'm probably 7-1, something like this. It is tough to win on the road Game 7, it is tough. When the home team is playing solid hockey, the fans, it's tough to win Game 7 on the road. I'd rather have it at home."
The Wild practices in Denver on Tuesday afternoon. Talk to you afterward.

Melissa Rycroft on Postpartum Depression: I Was In a Bad, Dark Place
In the latest issue of Us Weekly, on stands today, reality TV star Melissa Rycroft opens up about being diagnosed with postpartum depression in mid-2011 following the birth of her daughter, Ava.
In an emotional first-person narrative, the former Bachelor beauty, who was painfully dumped on live television by Jason Mesnick, in 2009, documents the struggles she faced as a new mom, revealing it quickly sent her into a "bad, dark place."
"I felt empty," Melissa, 29, recalls. "I'd put Ava in her crib and go outside and scream for a minute."
Melissa, who adds she resented husband Tye Strickland's busy work and life schedule after giving birth last February, says she quickly sought help from a doctor, which is when she was diagnosed with postpartum depression.
"He wanted to put me on meds," she says. "I was still in denial a little bit, so I put off seeing a therapist for six months. Now Tye and I go once a week. We talk about getting over my guilt, and the tears really flow."
Melissa, who says she wants to wait until she's "100 percent healthy and back to my best emotional state" before she and Tye have another baby, also reveals that part of her healing involves doing things for herself.
"I'm taking baby steps," she concludes. "But I am making progress."
Melissa married Tye, an insurance agent, on Isla Mujeres, a small island near Cancun, in December 2009.
Melissa isn't the only Hollywood star to suffer from postpartum depression. See more in our gallery below.
For more on Melissa Rycroft's story, pick up the latest copy of Us Weekly. You can also catch her on her new reality series, Melissa & Tye, which premieres April 20 at 9:30PM on CMT.

Sea Level Rise in Florida Is No Laughing Matter
August 31st, 2012
Local sea level rise has increased so much since the Key West Airport was built, that during the "Super Moon" super high tide in May 2012 it was flooded with seawater. Sea planes would have been more appropriate than jet planes during that day. Floridians are grappling with how to prepare their schools, roads, homes and airports to withstand sea level rise, accelerated by climate change.
Hurricane Watch Checklist: Four Factors that Strengthen and Four that Weaken Tropical Cyclones
August 27th, 2012
Whenever I see that a tropical storm is threatening to convert into a tropical cyclone – that's meteorology-speak for hurricanes in the Atlantic, typhoons in the Pacific or cyclones in the Indian Ocean – I consult my checklist. These are the factors that can nip that tropical storm in the bud or escalate it into a full blown hurricane.
Where is Sea Level Rise Most Rapid? Today Congress Heard the Answer: North America
August 1st, 2012
Today members of the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) were presented with a figure illustrating that the Gulf Coast and U.S. East Coast experienced the fastest pace of sea level rise compared to nearly all the rest of the coasts around the world from 1955 to 2003. I was struck by the vigorous discussion around the graphs, which were presented by my colleague Dr. James McCarthy and others before a full committee hearing entitled "Update on the Latest Climate Change Science and Local Adaptation Measures."

Drought Double Whammy: As the World Warms, U.S. Droughts Likely to Be Hotter, More Damaging
July 27th, 2012
The drought ravaging U.S. corn crops this summer may remind some of the horrific Texas region droughts of the 1950s. Yet scientists studying those droughts found that today's droughts in the region are more likely to be much hotter. This double whammy of drought combined with higher temperatures can turbo charge evaporation rates, which dries out soils even more and wreaks havoc with crops and livestock that can suffer immensely in the scorching heat without irrigation or other mitigation efforts.
Evidence Check: Which Extreme Weather Events Are More Linked with Climate Change – Heat Waves or Hurricanes?

The heat gripping the United States this month has been relentless. And if that weren't enough, hurricane season is upon us.

We created an infographic to serve as a quick reference of the current state of scientific understanding.

"VT - My home away from home" utchie's Profile
Greetings! Thank you for visiting my page. I hope you take your time and read. I would appreciate any comments or corrections you may have for me. =)
Let me give you an overview on what to expect on this page:
PROUD TO BE A VTer - how and why I am a proud VTer
INTRODUCTIONS - a little something about me
PLACES - listing of where I have been and where I will be
ON RANDOM - stuffs to share
-MATTER OF CHOICES - Philippines in the eyes of a foreigner
-NISHAR & ME - under construction
-WOUNDED. HEALED. SCARRED. - On healing thyself..
I really hope you get to read all, but if you have limited time, MATTER OF CHOICE, a cute article written by a British reporter is a must read. The article, in some ways does not really promote Philippines. In fact, the writer was a little confused as he finds so many weird things about us pinoys. But beyond the lines, I knew he had fallen in love. <3
Wish you would too. We have so many issues here right now. I live in a third world country but who defines the measure of a true first class?My country is blessed with immense resources and gifted people and that is what makes this a GREAT country.
I remember the first time I came across VT. I was searching for destinations we can go to and Google always fetches pages from a site called virtualtourist.com.
I registered with the mere purpose of posting a question. Was I expecting a reply? Not really. It was just out of frustration that I actually posted a travel question.
WWW is my virtual sanctuary but I was never a fan of virtual societies. Yes, I have my Friendster account but those are for existing friends. I find cyber friendships surface deep. And I am not to waste time on something I have no intentions on nurturing.
An hour or two after my post, the Notice Console popped up. There was a response. And not just a simple response but a really helpful one. Then I learned to browse through pages and tips. As advised, members do have amazing travel pages which are built not only for the purpose of showing off, or for virtual travel albums but are actually built to make trips easier and fun for others. As I was reading tips, the console popped up again. Another reply? I was not really expecting for a reply but very helpful speedy replies?, it was overwhelming. And so questions and answers eventually turned to fun conversations. And I was receiving so much from so many members. I even got emails for novel-length tip. Wow!
Three months later, my (then) boyfriend (now husband) and I finally got our dream vacation. We were both first timers and all we have with us are pocket moneys, excitement, courage and a lot of tips from VT. Setting foot in our first stop, Banaue feels oddly familiar. It was just how the VTers described it. We had so much fun. Rates, inns, transpo mode, foods and every highlights are duly noted, all are mentally etched so we can share everything in VT.
I got more attached to VT when I finally logged in again and I have so many messages from fellow VTers wishing for a safe and fun trip or asking how it all went. Everyone was so excited for me and it feels so warm at heart.
Since then, VT has been my home away from home, even when I am right at home =). I am not a fan of virtual societies but VT is more than this. VT is my gateway to places and people abroad. VTers are warm, helpful, intelligent and decent. Conversations here range from corny to hilarious jokes, simple to mind-breaking questions, opinions, feelings or plain news. I have made new friends and is still making new ones.
VT lets me travel the world simply by taking part.
And that choice made me a traveller.
Hi. I am Ruzel, friends call me Utchie, I feel it reflects my personality more.
I live in Manila, Philippines. I am not as well traveled as the others and sadly, I used to not have a camera with me then. I wish to share with you the beauty of the places I have seen but for the meantime, believe me as I say that I live in naturally blessed country.
Aside from surfing the net, I spend my free time working out, photo editing, writing or reading. More excess time, I spend rearranging things, which I will probably rearrange again after a week.
I love the outdoors. I found out that I enjoy more in mountains than in open seas. I love trees. I love trekking but I often have asthma attacks after rigorous walking. Not to worry, cardio training is part of my work out. And I see drastic improvements. Hooray!
I value relationships. Commitment is never a light word for me. I am humorous (as you may see in my posts in misc forums), a natural born comedian as they say. I am very logical and simple. I do not let myself trapped by trying to please people; I learned this the hard way. I see life in a serious way but I live my life in smiles. I love to smile.
I am verbal. But now, I try to let out my feelings in writing first to avoid hurting others. We can always apologize for the words we said, however, the pain brought about by your words can never be taken back. This, I also learned the heard way. No matter how well you mean, it is still important how it will mean to others. We cannot live for ourselves.
I have so much energy in me. And I try to use it in positive ways. I have so much faith in me and so much love. I believe in God and that he made people for people. So I believe in friendships. It does not matter how you made them. What is important is how you keep them.
And I plan to keep you for a very long time, my dear VT friends. =)

Hooray for VT Pilipinas
This was in VT Homepage - Nov 24, 2008 =)
Community + Community = VTerrific!!
It's a simple formula with an unbeatable outcome - members of our fabulous travel community + community service equals great deeds, great fun, and a great VT example to the world. Thusly, the " VT Pilipinas" Project Team was formed.
The impetus for the project was the annual VT Manila Christmas Party, which will still end with the regular fun and frivolity; but the beginning of the party is where the real holiday and VT Team spirit comes alive. It will start with the group "donning their gay apparel" (VT logoed shirts) to go dashing off to the Golden Acres home for the aged to do charity work.
This is exactly the type of Virtualtourist team interaction that we at headquarters are looking for and will work to support. These enthusiastic members took our offer to heart and ran with it. It's the "killa in Manila"…in every great sense of the words...and we love it!
Yehey! My first VT Meet.
November 15, 2008. Approximately 6pm at Jolibee Divisoria Mall, I met with Winnie (vt winzkie_d_pooh ) to buy gifts for our Lolas in Golden Acres.
It's not your typical VT meet. We rarely had time to really talk and share stories. I was drenched with sweat, I have about 4 big and heavy bags in my hand and I have a big red nose (due to allergic rhinitis - dust) when I met with Winnie.
The picture at the side is the exact corner where we first met. (Fill it up with more people carrying big boxes on their heads to be exact.) Practically running (amidst the heavy bags we are carrying) and ignoring the boxes bumping on our head, feet stepping on our toes and other people trying to get ahead of us, we swam through a pool of people to be able to make it the store that gave us the cheapest price for housedresses. (The store in Ilaya St. is closing and I asked the owner to kindly wait for us as I went back to Divi Mall to fetch Winnie, who has the money for housedresses).
After some more shopping in Divisoria mall, we had our Dinner at Jolibee -168 mall. I made a mental note to myself to take at least a picture as remembrance of my first VT meet (First meet with someone I knew via the net) but forgot to anyway. I do not really need the picture to remind me of that day.
How can I forget anyway?
Thanks Winnie for the memorable night. =)
COMMUNITY SERVICE: GOLDEN ACRES - Dec 13, 8am to 10am.

For the first time ever, my wife and me went for a walk on the Luzerne Boardwalk. It was a bit difficult to find, but I knew it was around Galloway Road. Once we found the entrance and travelled down the 2-track, we noticed that the road splits off in two directions and I figured out that one leads to the Boardwalk and the other is an ATV trail.
On the trail, I was actually impressed with the trail system, but I'm suggesting that a couple signs be put up - one or two at the beginning and one to tell visitors that the trail system ends beyond the point where you turn to view the Scenic Overlook. It's not that big of an issue for local residents, but for visitors to the area, it wouldn't be very difficult to get lost on one of the many trails that split off throughout it. For what it's worth, I feel it should be better publicized as well.
This is what we currently have to let people know there is a boardwalk in Luzerne, and it isn't very noticeable.

Boys' Jeans
Boys' jeans in his favorite styles
When shopping for your little man's clothes, start with the essentials like denim jeans. No matter what their taste, boys' and girls' jeans will always be in style. Choose from a variety of denim washes to match his personal style and the tops he has in his closet. Jeans are durable and hold up to the everyday wear and tear of his playtime antics.
Every pair of jeans is different, whether it's the fit, wash or just the way they're worn in, they will all fit his body differently. Kmart has the perfect jeans, they look great with a wide range of tops. When you give him an array of jeans options, he can mix and match his outfits depending on his mood and the occasion. Jeans aren't meant for dress up, but with the right pair of boys' shoes they can make a great dress-casual outfit.
For warm-weather denim options, go for shorts. All he has to do is put on a pair of jean shorts, grab his beach towels and head out to the pool with friends for some summer fun. Shop the hottest styles in boys' denim for his closet at Kmart.

Margaret gets the chance of a lifetime when she is asked to write the biography of a famous and reclusive author. Trouble is, the author's life seems to be as much fiction as her books are. A spine-tingling, Gothic read.

Add a CommentThis is one weird story. I listened to it on audiobook, so the reader's irritating stop and start way of talking may have influenced. I won't do a spoiler, but I think this book could have been half as short, and it would have been better. Will not be reading anymore setterfield. Towards the end, I just wanted the story over but still relistened to the (13th!) disc and said What?! Also, the book is too tedious with too much description of everything. One funny line in it was about not to get attached to secondary characters.
This was an interesting book. Some parts were a bit gross (especially involving Charlie). I really liked Mrs. Maudsley's character, and I wish she had a bigger role, though as Miss Winter says, "it doesn't do to get attached to these secondary characters." Also I made Margaret's prescription from Dr. Clifton: http://www.prescriptionmaker.com/generate.php?line1=Sir+Arthur+Conan+Doyle+&line2=The+Case-book+of+Sherlock+Holmes&line3=Take+10+pages+twice+a+day&line4=%27til+end+of+course.+&top1=Margaret+Lea&top2=Angelfield&top3=April+20th
A fantastic read, especially for those who love the way words roll off your tongue, surprise twist, plot and character complexity, or for any true book lover. Dianne Setterfield has given us everything that makes a perfect novel: beautiful prose, a complex yet plausible plot, and excellent character depth. If you like this book, you would probably like The Shadow of the Wind and The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox. For the full review, head to my blog at OboeChica Books (so long and thanks for all the fish).
What an amazing book-the mystery wends and winds its way to the suprising conclusion, concealing secrets at every turn. The characters are rich and real and the writing is excellent. A book you will think about long after you put it down.
A wonderfully Gothic book whose story involves a ghost, a spooky old house, and lots of family secrets. The more you read, the more the author's love of reading and all things books becomes apparent. I had previously read this and only read it again for a book club meeting but I'm so glad that I did because it was just as amazing the second time around. Now I can't wait to read Setterfield's next novel!
Once I started this book I found it hard to put down. Intrigue, mystery, complex characters & plot. A messy family with secrets. Bad behavior, obsession & neglect that must be coped with. Twins and more. It reads smoothly and keeps you wondering 'what's next?' Will it help or not. This is not a light summer read, but the pages turn. When I was finished, I found myself thinking about the book.
I stayed up late turning the pages of this literary mystery, and I have since recommended it to readers of all stripes. Make yourself a cup of cocoa and immerse yourself in this world.
I was given this book as a gift a couple years ago and let it sit as the cover didn't intrigue me and I assumed it was a book of short stories. So glad I sat down and started reading! A fantastic story full of mysteries and great characters. I dare anyone to try and guess the ending!
Add a QuoteMy gripe is not with lovers of the truth but with truth itself. What succor, what consolation is there in truth, compared to a story? What good is truth, at midnight, in the dark, when the wind is roaring like a bear in the chimney? When the lightning strikes shadows on the bedroom wall and rain taps at the window with its long fingernails? No. When fear and cold make a statue of you in your bed, don't expect hard-boned and fleshless truth to come running to your aid. What you need are the plump comforts of a story. The soothing, rocking safety of a lie.

I don't mean when as in "when most of the leaves have died" which is all I've been able to find. I mean when as in what month (at least a ballpark estimate). I live in the Austin area.
I've never grown garlic before, and I'm getting impatient wondering when I'll finally be able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I was impatient enough today that I pulled up one plant to see how far along it was, and now I really regret it because the bulb was still really small. So I basically wasted that plant. Darn. So I guess garlic harvest time is not anytime soon like I had hoped. :-( |

You could have used and enjoyrd the one that you pulled out. Young garlics are sold at premium price at the stores. So you know that good indication of garlic harvest is when most of lesve (excep about 3 of them)_ have browned and died. But when will that happen, depends on various facrors. But, as a ball park figure in your zone (8), that should happen sometime in later half of may. So you have to wait another 3 weeks (SORRY!) But the next time if you want to check them out, just PATIENTLY(!) dig aroung a garlic plant until you get to the bulb. |
- Posted by garliclady z7 NC (My Page) on Sun, May 2, 10 at 23:56
Late May to late June depending on the variety |
Hi neohippie, I live near Austin. My garlic still have a good amount of green on them so I am thinking they are still growing and it maybe late June. we have had some nice cool weather down here and from what I understand Garlic does like cool weather so we may have a while to wait :) |
Well, I checked them again but this time I was more careful and instead of just pulling a whole plant up, I carefully dug away some of the soil to take a peek at some of them. It looks like the softnecks are just starting to swell up, while the hardnecks still look like leeks down there. The leaves are about 1/4 dead. *sigh* I'll have to be patient. |

At the southern end of downtown Whitehorse, you'll find the S.S. Klondike National Historic Site, home to the largest and last sternwheeler on the Yukon River. Sternwheelers were used on many rivers and lakes in Canada, but in the Yukon, they were central to transportation. At the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, observe 10 species of northern Canadian mammals including woodland caribou, Canada lynx, Alaska/Yukon moose and arctic foxes.
For a taste of the incredible wilderness that surrounds Whitehorse, plan a visit to Emerald Lake or McIntyre Creek, or take a hike and enjoy the unique scenery at Miles Canyon.

Tri-State Food Bank celebrates 25 years
David and Carol Reynolds know what it's like to go to bed hungry.
The Evansville residents have endured stretches when their only income came from federal disability assistance, and they've relied on the Tri-State Food Bank to help them survive.
"We've been down on our luck off-and-on through the years because of job losses, medical issues," David Reynolds said. Because disability income can't sustain a family for an entire month, "there are weeks you can't go to the grocery."
Now that the Reynolds family is faring better financially, they put in numerous volunteer hours at the food bank, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Covered with sweat, Reynolds on Friday pushed a cart loaded with cardboard boxes of nonperishable food, which would soon be stocked in one of the food bank's two warehouses. Its contents would later be distributed somewhere in a 33-county region.
Reynolds recently got a job with Sears, and he said that "when I'm not there, I come back here (to volunteer). It's just something I enjoy."
Mary Blair, who has worked for the Tri-State Food Bank for 10 years and led it for the last seven, said the agency is built on the spirit of giving that people like the Reynolds display.
The agency on East Michigan Street distributes 4 million pounds of food annually to 250 outlets throughout the region. Those include shelters, food pantries, meal programs, senior centers, soup kitchens and drug and alcohol treatment centers.
"Every community has 'haves' and 'have-nots,'" Blair said. "In our community, we have very compassionate 'haves' that are concerned about hunger issues."
But 4 million pounds of food, while substantial, still doesn't come close to meeting the region's needs, she said.
She cited a 2006 study showing it would take 9 million pounds of distributions to do that.
"There's still a gap that needs filled," Blair said last week as volunteers spent a hot summer day unloading and loading trucks and filling up shelves.
"We can only do what community support allows us to do," she said.
Food Bank history
The Tri-State Food Bank originated from an Evansville Area Council of Churches effort in 1981 to address local hunger.
Organizers borrowed a pickup and had 140 cases of food donated from food banks in Indianapolis and Louisville.
The agency was incorporated on June 24, 1982, by Henry Campbell, Tom Ulrich, Earl Tholeder and Louise Mann-Bela.
Bobbie Hoy began working for the agency part time in its first year, and later assumed the position of half-time director. She died in 1986, and a year later her husband, Phil Hoy, became the first full-time executive director.
Blair in 2000 succeeded Phil Hoy, a minister who is now a state representative.
The agency is affiliated with America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest independent feeding service program. It solicits surplus grocery products from the food industry and distributes them to 214 certified food banks.
Blair said the Tri-State Food Bank serves "people with low skills as well as college-educated people who simply can't find work." Blair said.
The agency has both occasional and regular customers.
"Others need it month after month because they're working in a low-paying job or more than one job; they have to pay utilities, medical bills and gas and don't have enough left over to buy food," Blair said.
Unless more money goes into Food Stamp programs, "we're always going to have this," Blair said.
How you can help
The Food Bank accepts and appreciates donations of nonperishable food items, in part because Blair said they offer a needed "product mix."
Donations of money carry more value, though, because of the agency's ability to take advantage of wholesale prices, according to Blair. She estimated that a $1 donation can be stretched to 10 times that value in food purchases.
Volunteers also make the agency tick, Blair said.
The Tri-State Food Bank needs warehouse assistance and office help, and volunteer blitzes are conducted on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

Blogs Cliopatria OBAMA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE NEW REALITY
Jun 23, 2009 3:55 amOBAMA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE NEW REALITY
Michael Ledeen has a letter from Mousavi. He is not amused:
From the Office of Mr. Mir Hossein MousaviTo the President of the USA, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama:
Dear Mr. President,
In the name of the Iranian people, we want you to know that when you recently made the statement "Achmadinejad or Mousavi? Two of a kind," we consider this as a grave and deep insult, not just to Mr. Mousavi but especially against the judgment of the Iranian people, against our moral conviction and intelligence, especially those of the young generation that comprises a population of 31 million.
It is a specially grave insult for those who are now fighting for democracy and freedom, and an unwarranted gift and even praise for Mr. Khamenei, whose security forces are now killing peaceful Iranians in the streets of every major city in the country.
Your statement misled the people of the world. It was no doubt inspired by your hope for dialogue with this regime, but you cannot possibly believe in promises from a regime that lies to its own people and then kills them when they demand the promises be kept.
By such statements, your administration and you discourage the Iranian people, who believe and trust in the values of democracy and freedom. We are pleased to see that you have condemned the regime's murderous violence, and we look forward to stronger support for the rightful struggle of the Iranian people against the actions of a regime that is your enemy as well as ours.
The Obama administration could not care less. I know no other way to interpret the following piece of amoral news:
President Barack Obama's administration said earlier this month it would invite Iran to US embassy barbecues for the national holiday for the first time since the two nations severed relations following the 1979 Islamic revolution."There's no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.
