Zac Efron Loses His Shirt At MTV Movie Awards, Beyoncé Makes Us Lose Our Sh-t At Coachella
Finally, the 2014 MTV Movie Awards gave Zac Efron's chest muscles the spotlight they deserve. We've long appreciated Efron's physique, but it was nice to see him awarded for his fine work in a public forum, and give his adoring fans exactly what they wanted. Nicki Minaj stepped out as an actress at last night's big show, and had no problem hanging with her The Other Woman costars and publicly hitting on Matthew McConaughey.
Zac Efron Delivers Ab-Mazing Performance At 2014 MTV Movie Awards

Friends Worried That Zac Efron Is Off The Wagon
Following news that Zac Efron was attacked in a seedy side of Los Angeles, friends and fans are worried that the actor is spiraling out of control. Last year, the actor surprised many when he went to rehab but he appeared to be fresh and clean following the stint. Now it doesn't seem like things are so peachy keen.

Would The Guys Of That Awkward Moment Ever Break Up With A Girl By Text?
When casual dating creeps toward something serious, what do you do? Sit down somewhere quiet and have "the talk," or fake your own death and change your phone number? That's the question That Awkward Moment (in theaters Friday) explores from the male perspective. Stars Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller and Zac Efron play three single twentysomethings in New York–which is not much of a stretch considering they're three twentysomethings who filmed in New York. So… how do they play the dating game? Would they treat prospective girlfriends the same way their characters do?

SPF-Diana and customers set the Guiness World Record for "the largest petfood package in the world."
At its recent IV Latin American Symposium event held in Águas de São Pedro, Brazil, SPF-Diana and its customers broke a record for "the largest petfood package in the world," certified by Guinness World Records.
The petfood package, at 3 meters (9.8 feet) high and 1.78 meters (5.8 feet) tall wide, was specifically created for the event with the support of ABINPET, the Brazilian Industry Association of Pet Products, and Incoplast, a Brazilian packaging company.
Attendees were able to put their dog kibbles inside the bag, helping to achieve a record 563.2-kilogram (1,240-pound) petfood bag. At the end of the symposium, the petfood collected in the bag was donated to the dog shelter of Descalvado/SP community, the city where the SPF-Diana Brazilian facility is located.
"Until now nobody was able to establish a record due to the difficulty of the challenge. SPF-Diana has shown great creativity and innovation…and relied on their clients, representatives of the petfood industry from across Latin America, to help them achieve this new goal...We, Guinness World Records, were delighted to see this level of participation from the members of the reunion," said Ralph Hannah, adjudications executive at Guinness World Records. "We also fully support, and encourage, SPF-Diana decision to donate the collected petfood…it will benefit hundreds of stray dogs in the area."
Safe, nutritious, tasty petfood requires careful handling and processing of raw meat ingredients
Lean processing, outsourcing and time-saving machines can help boost your bottom line

Palácio da Pena - Pena Palace, Sintra
54 Reviews
54 Reviews
Colorful and kind of"funny" palace,and a "must" thing for Sintra-vistors.Personally we liked mooris castle more,but of course we wanted to see this also.And one funny thing for us,was the name.My father´s nick-name is Pena :) We send a card to him from his own palace ;)
I think that kids might like this also.
The Palace dates back to 1839, when the King Consort Dom Fernando II of Saxe Coburg-Gotha (1816-1885) bought the ruins of the Hieronymite Monastery of Nossa Senhora da Pena and started to adapt it for use as a residence, according to his Romantic taste.
As you can see the varying architectural styles, not to mention the colors, or have I already mentioned those ^)o(^.....make the Pena Palace a very enjoyable trip there if not for the history, then for the photographic opportunities...
Sorry about those "Very strange Tourists" in the fourth photo, they insisted that I take their photo....
Sorry that my camera was not up to capturing the views from the palace, it would seem that one of the reasons to build here on top of a mountain, other than the ability to protect oneself beeter, would be for the VIEWS. Each and every way you look you have an extended perspective on the surroundings. As you can see in the first photo, that Tal took of me, I had to go out on the ramparts to get a better look.
Pena Palace looking out over the landscape above the Portugese town of Sintra commands a perfect view of the countryside, but it also has its own interior landscapes which are a delight. The numerous and totally different styles gives the impression of an architect driven to extremes. The styles, not to mention the colors catch your attention at each and every corner of the palace.
It is not often on our travels that I am surprised by a place, in Sintra we found the Pena Palace and I WAS SURPRISED...how had they kept this wonderful architectural wonderland a secret from me....????
Your first view of the castle, which is hidden because of the forest, is a peak through those trees, giving you only a glimpse, sort of teasing you with what is to come.
The gates, of which there are several which you must pass through to access the main buildings are of differing styles. As you can see the main entrance gate has what looks to be triangles or diamonds bulging out all over it..I was immediately reminded of a building in Ferrara, Italy with the same style and a legend that goes with it -- that there is an enormous diamond to be found within one of the diamond shapes.
Did I mention that from the entrance gate where the bus from Sintra leaves you off, you can catch a "tram" from the gate to the palace. Or you can do as we did, WALK...but I must warn you it is a steep climb.
This palace was built in the 19th century in order of Ferdinand von Coburg Gotha (D. Fernando II) hi was married to Queen Maria II.
To get to Pena Palace you can buy Circuito da Pena bus ticket on bus 434
(This bus stops at Sintra Estacao, Sintra Vila, Castelo do Mouros and Palacio da Pena.) We paid 4.50 euro for a return to Pena Palace ( Circuito da Pena) from Sintra centre and back.
The entrance ticket is very confusing but i guess you need to pay 11 euro and we had no time to visite the gardens we walked up from the entrance and then we saw a bus you can use it but need to pay 2 euro for return and you can walk it in less then 10 minutes but up hill.
open 1st may - 15th September 9.45 - 19.00 last entry half hour before closing or an hour
16/09 - 30/04 10.00 - 17.00
closed 1 jan 25th dec
Entrance 11 euro
think there is a discount for kids and 65+ and family tickets but not sure.
it was not aloud to take pictures in the small palace and bags you have to carry at the front as the paths are small.
we went with 4 to this palace and had 1 ticket together so we had to stick together.

Pena Palace
Pena Palace1
Pena Palace2
This palace is a mixture of Arab minarets, towers and domes. It was built between 1840 and 1850.
Prince of Baviera D. Fernando of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, husband of D. Maria II ordered it to be build on the site of the ruins of the monastery of Our Lady of Pena.
Inside the palace you can see a large ball room, the kitchen and several rooms.
The palace has been painted yellow and pink in the 90's. These were its original colors.
If you have few time to visit Sintra, you should definitely go first to Palacio da Pena. The Castel is amazing, very interesting decoration. The Castle is on the top of the hill and provides with an amazing 360ºc panoramic view over the city of Sintra, the Forest and the sea. It is breathtaking.
I think this is a must. If you have further time, I would then recommend you to walk in the historical center, stop by the artcraft shops and have a coffee. Very inspiring!
On the highest peaks of the Serra de Sintra stands a magnificent palace with amazing gardens. Again it is a palace with a mixture of architectural styles.It was built in the 19th century for the husband of queen maria the second.
It is enchanting and is worthy of at least a couple of hours spending time wandering around the gardens and visiting the palace.
It is a bit like a fantasy castle with domes and towers.
This fairytale like palace is a highlight of Sintra. We arrived here in the afternoon having already hiked up to the Moorish Castle so we were quite tired by the time we got here. The palace is at the top of large woodland gardens with some lovely hidden spots and small lakes and flower displays.
It costs 6 Euro to enter the palace and having already spent the morning in the Palacio Nacional we didn't spend too long looking around inside. The castle looks much better from afar than it does up close and the interior wasn't as interesting as the Palacio Nacional. The gardens and the views from the palace are the two most impressive things to see.
The third jewel in Sintra's crown is the Palacio da Pena - a strange romantic castle built on one of the peaks of the Serra de Sintra next door to the Moorish Castle. This amazing structure was built on the site of an old monastery when the land was purchased in 1839 by a Bavarian Prince, Ferdinand, who was married to the Queen of Portugal. In collaboration with a German engineer, they built this hodgepodge of architectural styles during the Romantic age as a gift for the Queen. It really is quite an amazing display and, with the coming of a Republic in Portugal, it has become a museum since 1910. The wide swath of forests and mountains surrounding the castle is protected as a park.
This view, taken by zoom from the Moorish Castle, was as close as we got to the Pena Palace - no more walking! Our 7E entrance fee to the Castle would have also allowed us entry to the Palace but it was just too far on this day!
Th palace is located at about 4.5 kilmometers from downtown. You better take a taxi to take you up there and make it wait for you. The uphill walk is awful and if you don't secure a way to get back to town, you'll be stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Simply the most amazing and beautiful palace ever built and is considered the perfect example of Portuguese Romantic architecture. It is a combination of moorish and gothic styles. It stands crowning the Sintra Serra.
The Pena Palace was the home of the Portuguese royal family in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It sits on the mountaintop overlooking Sintra and features a wild mix of architectural styles and colors. The site was originally occupied by a convent, whose surviving cloister was incorporated into the palace's layout. Much of the palace is open to the public via a self-guided tour.
Other VT members have said "Walt Disney." I beg to differ. During near hurricane conditions, and before the annual coat of yellow and red paint, it was more "Vincent Price." But no matter what, this palace is worth a visit even if it is largely a pastiche.
Photography is prohibited inside, where the rooms are fairly small and decorated to within an inch of their lives. It is not as atmospheric as the Royal Palace in Luang Prabang - probably because the Portugal Royals did not share the Lao Royals' horrible fate - but the feeling is similar: half crazy palace, half eccentric grandma's house.
Unless you're in fantastic shape, do take the bus from town. However you can skip the tram from the gate to the castle. Then, after the visit, walking back to town via the Moors Castle is very pleasant if you're halfway fit.

So, I have to be honest. I am not sure that I have ever tried French Onion Soup before tonight. It always sounded intriguing, but looked kind of weird, so I shied away. I've been searching for interesting recipes for my new handy dandy Crock Pot I got for Christmas, and I came across this recipe for French Onion Soup. It sounded delicious, but the slow cooker is mostly for work days, and I definitely didn't have time to caramelize onions in the morning. So, I searched for a different recipe, and found this one. As usual, there were parts of each recipe that sounded better to me (or that fit the available ingredients on hand -- let's be honest: I was looking up these recipes last night at 11pm when I suddenly realized recipe 1 wouldn't work for the morning!). So, I kind of combined the two and came out with this:
This is Tom's latest home brew that I used in the recipe! |
- 3 1/2 large sweet onions, sliced thinly
- 8 cups beef broth
- 1 cup beer (I used Tom's latest home brew!)
- 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp. minced garlic
- 4 Tbsp. butter
- A few small sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme (from the little that I have growing in my sun room...er...living in my sun room. Any growth right now is debatable.)
- Crusty bread (I think I had a ciabatta loaf)
- Gouda cheese
So easy! Hardest part is slicing onions... |
Place sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add beef broth and beer. Top with balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, butter and herbs. Cook on low for 8 hours. Just before serving, top a couple of pieces of crusty bread with the Gouda. Bake at 400 degrees until melted, then broil for a few minutes until bubbly. Ladle the soup into a small bowl and top with cheesy toasts!
I thought this turned out great! Of course, my caveat being I'm not sure if I ever have had French Onion Soup before and hence not sure if this is the expected taste. Anywho, I'll eat it!

Apple moving away from Samsung memory components
Apple has allegedly already switched away from Samsung for production of the next-gen A6 processor for iOS devices, and if the latest report from Digitimes is accurate, Apple's also diversifying its sources for DRAM and NAND memory. Digitimes' sources claim that Apple is now starting to source NAND memory from Toshiba and mobile RAM from Elpida.
Currently, a fairly large proportion of the internal components of iPhones and iPads are actually manufactured by Samsung. Considering the much-publicized global patent spats between the two companies, this puts Apple in a potentially awkward position. It makes good business sense for Apple to start sourcing components from the few tech companies on Earth that haven't filed lawsuits against it (yet).
MacRumors points out that Samsung's currently contracted for US$7.8 billion in parts over 2011, including the A5 processor that powers the iPad 2. Although Samsung is the world's largest supplier of many electronic components, losing Apple's business will likely put a very large dent in the Korean tech giant's ledger.

Common Mechanisms of Cancer and Aging
João Pedro de Magalhães, PhD
Senior Lecturer, Functional and Comparative Genomics
Institute of Integrative Biology
University of Liverpool, England
João Pedro de Magalhães, PhD
leads the Integrative Genomics of Aging Group at the Institute of Integrative Biology, University of Liverpool, UK.
João Pedro graduated in Microbiology from Escola Superior de Biotecnologia in his hometown of Porto, Portugal, in 1999. His first experience in a research environment was as an intern (1998-1999) in the UnIGENe research group at the Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology in Porto, where he worked on Machado-Joseph disease, a neurological disorder, under the supervision of Jorge Sequeiros.
As a doctoral fellow, he pursued his dream of unravelling the mechanisms of aging by joining the Aging and Stress Group at the University of Namur in Namur, Belgium. With Olivier Toussaint as his advisor, his work from 1999 to 2004 spanned molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence and response to oxidative stress, evolutionary models of aging, and analyses of gene networks.
Fascinated by the genome and by the opportunities its sequencing opened, João Pedro then did a postdoc from 2004 to 2008 with genomics pioneer George Church at Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA. He developed high-throughput approaches for studying aging, including computational tools and databases, statistical models of mortality, and comparative genomics methods for investigating the evolution of longevity.
In 2008, he joined the School of Biological Sciences (now called Institute of Integrative Biology) at the University of Liverpool as a Lecturer to develop his own group on genomic approaches to aging.
Role of Telomeres in Health Span and Longevity
María Blasco, PhD
Director and Head of the Telomeres and Telomerase Group
Spanish National Cancer Research Centre - CNIO
Madrid, Spain
Maria A. Blasco
(Alicante, 1965) obtained her PhD in 1993 for her research at the Centro de Biología Molecular "Severo Ochoa" under the supervision of M. Salas. That same year, Blasco joined the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York (USA) as a Postdoctoral Fellow under the leadership of C. W. Greider. In 1997 she returned to Spain to start her own research Group at the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología in Madrid. She joined the CNIO in 2003 as Director of the Molecular Oncology Programme and Leader of the Telomeres and Telomerase Group and was appointed CNIO Vice Director in 2005.
Her major research achievements include: (1) Isolation of the core components of mouse telomerase and generation of the first knockout mouse for telomerase; (2) Generation of the first mouse with increased telomerase expression in adult tissues; (3) The finding that mammalian telomeres and subtelomeres have epigenetic marks characteristic of constitutive heterochromatin; (4) Discovery of telomeric RNAs, which are potent telomerase-inhibitors whose expression is altered in cancer; (5) Demonstration that telomerase activity and telomere length determine the regenerative capacity of adult stem cells; (6) Identification of the longest telomeres as a universal feature of adult stem cell niches; (7) The finding that telomerase overexpression in the context of cancer resistant-mice improves organismal fitness, produces a systemic delay in ageing and an extension in median life-span; (8) Discovery that telomeres rejuvenate after nuclear reprogramming; (9) Identification of the molecular mechanisms by which short telomeres/DNA damage limit nuclear reprogramming of defective cells; (10) Discovery that telomeric protein TRF1 can act as both a tumour suppressor and as a factor in ageing prevention.
Blasco has received the Josef Steiner Cancer Research, Rey Jaime I, Körber European Science, Alberto Sols and Fundación Lilly Preclinical Research, Awards. She has also been the recipient of the Spanish National "Santiago Ramón y Cajal" Research Award in Biology (2010). Blasco has also been awarded the EMBO Gold Medal and has served on its Council since 2008.

Twenty-eight million is an exceptionally large number. If one were to attempt to count up to it, it would take them the better part of an extremely tedious year. Thankfully, the folks at Harmonix have been keeping track of their DLC sales for their flagship rhythm series, Rock Band, finding that the 345 tracks currently available on the Music Store have been collectively downloaded 28 million times. That's a whole lot of bandwidth.
To add some perspective to that astronomical sum, the last sales figures we heard from Harmonix stated Rock Band DLC had reached 6 million downloads in March -- around the time the in-game Music Store was launched. Some may chalk this sales success up to the addition of the Store, or the fact that there's been new tracks every week for the past year, or perhaps the release of Rock Band 2 -- but we know the truth. It was the groundbreaking Jimmy Buffett track pack that served as the true catalyst for this download explosion.

Basically, they work well for birthday parties, but once you remove the birthday candles and numbers, they can be served in lieu of cupcakes for any occasion!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Bliss, is right! ... part two
Botanical Bliss Pocket Invitations Loved our Botanical Bliss save the date magnets, and love our pocket invitations just as much, if not MORE! Happy with our paper selection of Luxe Pearl, for how it adds that extra something; silver is one of our accent colors, and so the pearly sheen helps to dress and fancy up the invitation. I have a few critiques though, despite my love for this product: 1) I'm not a big fan of the Luxe Pearl envelope style, since (and MagnetStreet does include a disclaimer about this) it's hard to get stamps, labels, etc. to really stick well to it, 2) there's no slit in the front to insert the top into the bottom so that it closes flat, and 3) the RSVP Postcard and Enclosure Card are the same size, so there isn't one larger to make it so they stagger inside the pocket.
Amazing quality and service
Patterned Billy Ball Pocket Invitations The invitations and all of it's components are beautiful, high quality and came beautifully packaged. We chose the linen looking paper and it looked and felt like high-quality paper. The design was easy and super customizable. We only changed around the font and sizing to make it a bit more readable but kept the original gray and yellow color scheme. We did play around with other colors and you can really do anything. Magnet Street customer service and care of their product is fantastic. It also came amazingly quickly. Magnet Street is not "cheap" but it's definitely cheaper than going to a fancy papier for the quality and customer service and final product it is worth every penny! I can't speak enough about how much I love my invitations. We also did our magnet STDs (same billy ball pattern) and those too were AMAZING. Nothing but compliments on those and i'm sure once people receive our modern and cool invites we'll hear even more :)
Beautiful! Perfect! I am so happy with them!! :)
Botanical Bliss Pocket Invitations The invitations came out AMAZING! I can't wait to send them out. The quality, color, and printing were spot on. I would definitely recommend these invitations and just Magnetstreet in general to any bride!
Beautiful wedding invites
Fun & Fresh Pocket Invitations The invites are awesome! Easy to fold, looks great, feels great! Shipping was fast took about 1 week! I choose pink, green and black and they came out great! The font was great also! Looks even better then on the computer!
Great invitation, get a sample
Be Merry Pocket Invitations I just received my invitations and was so happy with how they turned out! Of course I was a little skeptical having ordered them online but when I opened the box I was very excited! I would recommend, however, that you request a free sample packet. This gives you a great feel for the paper quality as well as the colors. When I first created my invitations online I used a color that looked good on the screen but when I consulted my sample packet I saw that it really did look different on paper. Other than the extra step of ordering a sample the design process was very simple and I am very happy with how my invitations turned out!

School days a distant memory? Some academic tidbits never fade. Lessons learned by business leaders:
Dig deeper. "As you know" is a red-flag phrase for James Cahill, president of financial service firm Drexel Hamilton.
"It's an appeal to ignorance," he told IBD.
Cahill learned never to accept such face-value statements decades ago as a student at Fordham University. By day, the young gun worked in New York City's financial district at Salomon Bros., then Lehman Bros. By night, he was taking notes about ancient Greeks Plato and Socrates.
"They questioned everything," Cahill said. "You learn to ask good questions and not accept things as they appear."
Meld theoretical, practical. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."
The maxim, originated by French philosopher Voltaire, is also the advice that ChoiceStream CEO Eric Bosco received from his computer science professor. Bosco described the University of Pennsylvania's David Farber as a hands-on type who brought industry experience to the college setting.
An ideal solution on paper may be too cumbersome in practice, and "many times a lesser solution that is simpler and can be implemented faster is the way to go," Bosco said.
He learned how to drop back from perfect in favor of the right level during two decades of industry experience — long ago launching AOL's (AOL) Instant Messenger tool, now advancing online advertising technology at ChoiceStream.
"It speaks to the judgment call that successful innovators have to make," he said.
Change your view. "Degrees don't make you smarter. They just change the way you think," said Jim Bahcall, founder of Paper Shower. The oral surgeon-turned-entrepreneur says going back to school was essential to launching his spin on the moist towelette. Bahcall aims to disrupt the $5 billion market sector with his wet-dry disposable hygiene product.
In health care, he learned to be reactive and respond to illness.
At the Keller Graduate School of Management in Chicago, Bahcall gleaned how to be proactive, predicting consumers' preferences.
He also learned — via Keller's professors — the role passion plays in entrepreneurship.
"It's the only thing that keeps you going," he said. "In the business world, it's constant adjustment."
Beware the spin. "Even though statistics are most likely accurate, they can be used to prove things that aren't," said Dan Crain, CEO of flash storage firm Whiptail.
It's a truism he learned from his undergrad economics teacher, who reminded students to consider motive. "The lesson is that people use data in a way that suits them, rather than taking the data at face value," Crain said.
Take the nudge. Today, Julie Beltz runs a marketing communications consultancy in Washington, D.C. Presenting savvy ideas to and for clients is her livelihood.
Decades ago, she was a quiet fourth-grader reluctant to raise her hand in class.
Then came a tough-love moment from teacher Allison Boyer.
"Her words to me," said Beltz, "were something along the lines of: 'You know, you're a very smart, talented kid. But if you don't open your mouth and speak up sometimes, you're never going to get anywhere you want to go.'"
The comment pushed the kid out of her comfort zone. Beltz eventually spoke at her own high school graduation.
Of Boyer, Beltz said: "I could never thank her enough."

Bruins: Tim Thomas
Thomas jokes about Luongo reunion
BOSTON -- Florida Panthers goaltender Tim Thomas was jovial and had a good sense of humor when asked about his new teammate, fellow goalie Roberto Luongo.
The Panthers acquired Luongo in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks Tuesday afternoon, and he returns to the organization he spent the early part of his career with from 2000 to 2006.
On Tuesday, after the Bruins defeated the Panthers 4-1 at TD Garden, Thomas was asked about his new teammate.
"I did have one good line that probably somebody else has already thought of: It looked like [Panthers GM] Dale [Tallon] went kicking some tires and found one that needed pumping," Thomas said with a laugh, referring to a comment Luongo made during the 2011 Stanley Cup finals.
During that series, the opposing goaltenders traded verbal jabs with Luongo first saying of Thomas, "I've been pumping his tires ever since the series started and I haven't heard one nice thing he had to say about me."
Thomas responded by saying, "I didn't realize it was my job to pump his tires."
The Cup finals in 2011 ended with the Bruins hoisting the Stanley Cup, and Thomas earning the Conn Smythe trophy. Now the one-time rivals are teammates.
"It'll be interesting, but you know what, I don't know how things are going to work out, but assuming I'm staying in Florida, it'll be interesting," Thomas said. "I'm looking forward to it. It'll be fun."
Thomas stressed that he does not consider Luongo an enemy.
"No, not at all," Thomas said. "I wasn't an enemy with him even [in 2011]. I was so focused on playing and doing my job and that's the way I was looking at it. So, yeah, we're both pros, both been in the league a long time. I have a few more years on him, obviously, but we both have a lot of experience to bring to the team."
Thomas said he found out about the trade on the way to the Garden before Tuesday's game.
"Surprised, obviously, at first just like probably a lot of people who were caught off guard and didn't see that one coming," Thomas said. "But then I had to get ready to play the game against obviously a difficult team."
Thomas, who signed a one-year deal with the Panthers during training camp, believes he can co-exist with Luongo in Florida.
"Yeah, of course," Thomas said. "He's a good goalie and from everything I've heard about him he's got good character. I don't know what their plans are. I don't really know anything at this point. I can't say too much."
Since Luongo is back in the mix with the Panthers, the immediate speculation was that Florida would trade Thomas. During a conference call Tuesday night, Tallon said he would speak with Thomas.
After Tuesday's game, Thomas hesitated when asked if he wanted to stay rather than ask to be traded to a contender.
"Uh, yeah," he said. "Yeah, but now I've got to see the situation and see what they're thinking. I'd like to check in with Dale before I comment on anything."
Bruins coach Claude Julien was asked about Thomas and Luongo being teammates.
"We'll see if that's still the case tomorrow," Julien said with a smile. "Maybe I can comment on it tomorrow after the deadline. Fair enough? I know it's a lot of tire pumping."
Thornton's goal on Thomas may be a first
With two defenders draped all over him, Thornton made a nice move out of the right corner and beat Thomas with a strike to the top left side of the net at 8:14 of the third period.
"The next whistle we had a shift down there and he said 'Are you kidding me?' He was actually laughing; he was as surprised as I was," Thornton said.
Thomas, of course, hates when someone scores on him -- whether it's in a game or at practice. That was the case during his eight-year tenure in Boston and Thornton witnessed it firsthand.
"I don't know if I ever scored a goal on him in five years in practice, so that might have been my first right there," Thornton said with a laugh. "He seemed to stop me a lot in practice.
"Yeah we've played with him, we know how he plays," he added. "But that stuff doesn't really go through my head when I'm coming out of the corner with the puck -- what his tendencies are. I'm kind of just looking for where I can go with it and hopefully it works out. Honestly, on that goal, [Daniel Paille] brought a lot of guys to him and created a lot of space for myself."
The Bruins are 26-4 when Thornton scores a goal.
B's get best of old friend Thomas, Panthers
The last time the Bruins saw Thomas on the ice, it was Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals on April 25, 2012, at TD Garden. It was Thomas' final game as a member of the Bruins.
After a 16-month hiatus to spend more time with his family, the 39-year-old netminder returned to the NHL this season with the Panthers and was between the pipes against his former team at BB&T Center in Sunshine, Fla.
The Bruins got the best of their former teammate en route to the win, receiving goals from Daniel Paille, Dougie Hamilton and Smith, while goalie Tuukka Rask made 27 saves.
Thomas, the former Vezina, Conn Smythe and Stanley Cup winner, finished with 37 saves. Kris Versteeg and Jesse Winchester scored for the Panthers.
SAVE OF THE GAME: During his time as Thomas' backup in Boston, Rask witnessed many timely saves by his predecessor. On Thursday, it was a huge glove save by Rask in the first period that proved crucial. The Panthers' Tomas Fleischmann created a partial breakaway and attempted to slip a backhander past Rask, who made the glove save to keep the game scoreless. On the ensuing faceoff, the Bruins gained control and broke out of their zone when defenseman Dennis Seidenberg moved the puck to Paille, who swooped in and beat Thomas to the short side as Boston gained a 1-0 lead at 3:45.
POWER PLAY: The Bruins connected on their first man-advantage of the game, snapping an 0-for-12 skid. Boston's top unit capitalized when defenseman Zdeno Chara, who was camped out in front, screened Thomas as Hamilton's shot from the point made its way through traffic and beat Florida's goalie to the top right corner to give Boston a 2-0 lead at 12:47 of first period.
O-ZONE: After tweaking his lines the past two games, Bruins coach Claude Julien went back to the lineup he began the season with to start the game. Brad Marchand was back on the second line, along with Patrice Bergeron and Loui Eriksson. Reilly Smith returned to the third line with Chris Kelly and Jordan Caron. However, Julien switched back early in the first period and Marchand returned to the third line, with Smith on the second.
HEADS UP: Smith had his bell rung early in the second period when the Panthers' Mike Weaver applied a clean hit and crushed Smith into the end wall as he was trying to play the puck to the right of Thomas. Smith was slow to get to his feet and skate to the bench, but did not miss a shift.
SCRATCHED: Julien recently said he would find a way to rotate his defensemen, and that was evident against the Panthers. It was Adam McQuaid's turn to sit as he was the healthy scratch. In five games, McQuaid has one assist with a plus-2 rating. Sophomore blueliner Dougie Hamilton returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the past two games.
Defensive pairings: Zdeno Chara-Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski-Dennis Seidenberg, Torey Krug-Johnny Boychuk
CONNECTIONS: Thomas isn't the only link between the Bruins and the Panthers. Seidenberg and Campbell both played for the Panthers. Florida assistant coach Craig Ramsay served as an assistant in Boston, while fellow Florida assistant Gord Murphy played parts of two seasons for the Bruins. Florida forwards Brad Boyes and Kris Versteeg also played for the Bruins.
Thomas in goal tonight for Panthers
Thomas, 39, was invited to training camp on a professional tryout agreement and he recently signed a one-year deal with the Panthers. A two-time Vezina Trophy winner and Stanley Cup champion, Thomas' last game in the NHL came on April 25, 2012, when the Bruins lost to the Washington Capitals in the first round of the playoffs.
The common refrain around the Bruins is if there's one player that can take 16 months off and still have success, then Thomas is that guy.
"Let's not forget what he's brought to our team in past years. He's been a good soldier for us, he played well," said Bruins coach Claude Julien. "We can say what we want about all the other stuff that's been written, but he's a good athlete and for him to come back after being off for a year, at that age, and to be able to perform as he has so far, it's pretty incredible for him. I'm happy for him. As a player, I know he was a bit of a different person as far as his thoughts, but it never affected me coaching him and not respecting the person."
The Bruins will play the Panthers on Oct. 17 at Sunrise, Fla. Boston will host the Panthers on Nov. 7.
Rask rooting for Thomas with Panthers
Thomas has not played in the 16 months since he decided to step away from the game to spend time with his family. The Panthers signed the 39-year-old netminder to a professional tryout agreement (PTO) on Monday.
If he makes the team out of camp, circle Nov. 7 on your calendar. That's when the Bruins will host the Panthers at TD Garden. The Bruins also play the Panthers in Florida on Oct. 17.
"I was happy to see him coming back," Bruins No. 1 goalie and former Thomas backup Tuukka Rask said Wednesday. "Like I've said before, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened and it did. I'm hoping that he's going to make the team, get a good contract and get a good year out of it."
Thomas said Tuesday he feels refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to show he can still compete at this level, despite his hiatus.
"If he wants to be good, he will be good, there's no doubt about that," Rask said. "I don't think it's too big of an issue to take a year off and come back. I'm sure he kept himself sharp, saw some pucks and it won't be that big of a deal to come back. He's definitely the guy to make it happen."
Thomas said he didn't think about hockey over the past year until he watched his former team reach the Stanley Cup finals last June. It was then that the competitive juices began to flow and he started to train for his possible comeback.
"Obviously, he was here for a while and has deep relationships with a bunch of our players," Rask said. "I'm sure he was emotional about watching [the Cup finals] and he felt the itch, I bet when he saw us play and make that run again after he was a big part of it a couple of years ago. I think it's good that he didn't think about hockey during the year. He just totally cleared his mind and he'll be fresh coming out."
Rask wasn't the only Bruins player that thinks Thomas can return to the NHL.
"It doesn't surprise me," said Bruins forward Gregory Campbell. "He's a competiveness guy and I know, personally, stepping away from the game for any reason, whether it's an injury or the lockout, this is a game we play because we all love it. It's obviously a job and a career but we all love playing the game. It's only natural for anyone to miss the game. I know with Timmy's competitive nature doesn't surprise me at all. He's one of the most competitive guys I've played with.
"Seeing the success we had last year I'm sure brought him back to 2011 when we can all attest to the fact that the longer you play in the playoffs the more fun it is. We're fortunate on this team to have such a great group of guys and it's fun to play. I'm sure those are some of the thoughts going through his mind."
Campbell learned first-hand how tough it is to watch from the outside and how difficult it can be to get back into game shape due to a significant time off the ice.
"I'll say this: It's not easy for anybody to take that amount of time off and come back, but if anybody can do it I'm sure Timmy is a strong candidate," Campbell said. "He likes to prove people wrong. He's a super-competitive athlete and he's a talented player as well and that will bode well for him. He obviously had his reasons to take some time off, so sometimes you can reflect a little bit, refresh your mind and body, come back and you feel that excitement for the game again. I think Timmy is going to do well."
Bruins' run gave Thomas itch to return
"You know what really gave me the itch? Watching the playoffs," Thomas told reporters in Sunrise, Fla., where he is trying out for the Florida Panthers. "Actually, over the last season I didn't watch hockey at all. But then when it came playoff time, I started to watch some hockey and it started to get the competitiveness juices flowing and I saw my former team, the Boston Bruins, and the success they had and I was so proud of those guys and what they did, what they accomplished last year, but it started to get the competitiveness juices flowing again."
It has been 16 months since the 39-year-old Thomas declared he was sitting out the final year of his contract to spend time with his family. The surprise announcement thrust backup Tuukka Rask into the starter's role, where he thrived last season.
During his hiatus, Thomas was off the radar, making his home in Colorado. He started a real estate business and built townhouses. He said he spent a lot of time with his kids and went on hunting trips. He said he even caught an alligator and turned it into a rug.
The Bruins last summer traded the rights to the two-time Vezina-winning Thomas to the New York Islanders, who made him a free agent when they decided not to toll his contract. Thomas returned to the ice in July, working out in Michigan, and on Monday agreed to a tryout deal with the Panthers.
Thomas' departure from the Bruins was preceded by months of turmoil. He made headlines in January 2012 for skipping the team's celebratory visit to the White House for political reasons. He faced heavy criticism for the move and his relationship with the media soured in the weeks that followed.
"My initial reaction after all that stuff was I was so surprised," he said Tuesday. "Now, I don't think about it at all. I've got better things to think about. I didn't go out of my way to bring any political beliefs into that situation. I didn't honestly feel I could go in good conscience to the White House. I had to give a reason for not going to the White House. I didn't want to lie and say I was sick. I thought I gave, from my viewpoint, a very honest assessment of the situation. I just tried to leave it at that."
Thomas said the criticism bothered him but he has gotten over it.
"It did a little bit at first," he said. "Over the course of the year I didn't listen to the media at all. I'm not trying to do any digs, or whatever, and I moved past that and into a totally different place where now I'm focusing on different things and a totally different mindset. I have a new love for playing the game, a newfound appreciation for being able to play the game at this level and be part of a team. I just feel totally new."
Thomas was asked Tuesday whether he had any regrets about how his tenure in Boston ended.
"That's a hard one to answer," he said Tuesday. "In the big picture do I regret it? No. I made the right decision for me and I made the right decision for my family. I'm very happy with what's come out of it in my own personal life.
"Now, is it hard to leave an organization that gave me my opportunity to break into the NHL, and a place in the Northeast, especially Massachusetts that's really accepted me as part of the family? Yeah, of course it's hard to do that. Having said all things, it was the best decision to make for me and my family."
Prior to stepping on the ice Tuesday morning in Florida, the last time he played in the NHL was on April 25, 2012, when the Bruins lost to the Washington Capitals in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals at TD Garden.
That summer he decided to step away.
"I got tired and I needed a break," Thomas said. "Now I'm energized and I'm looking forward to it. I feel great."
Why Florida?
"I think this organization is on the verge of a big turnaround and a big bounced back," he said. "I've actually been through that in Boston before. When I first came into Boston in 2005-2006, that was a low point for the Boston Bruins and I was able to see that rise in that organization. The Florida Panthers are situated in a similar situation.
"My time in Boston was great. I was very fortunate to have the type of personal and team success there. Great teammates, great area, the people of that area allowed me to almost be part of their family. This is a totally new start, totally new place and I'm looking forward to what's going to happen in the future here."
Thomas wouldn't speculate on how long he wants to play hockey, saying only he felt "rejuvenated, refreshed and ready to go."
Part of the reason the Panthers decided to offer Thomas a tryout is to add some experience to the goaltending position. Florida's starter is Jacob Markstrom, the 23-year-old Swede who went 8-14-1 with a 3.22 goals-against average last season.
"Nothing can replace experience is one of the things I've learned," Thomas said. "I remember being a young guy in the league and having people talk about experience and thinking experience is overrated," Thomas said. "Now that I'm on the other end of the spectrum and I've been through it, I realize experience can be beneficial."
Thomas quotes were courtesy a NBC6 Miami reporter, who was at the Panthers' practice session.
He hasn't been called out for failing to pump the tires of an opposing netminder, but beyond that Tuukka Rask's run through these Stanley Cup playoffs is beginning to look a lot like the stretch Tim Thomas put together en route to the Cup in 2011.
Through the first two rounds and the first three games of the conference finals, Rask -- who has surrendered just two goals over 11 periods to the best offensive team in the league -- actually has a better save percentage and goals-against average than Thomas had at this point in 2011 (see table at right). Thomas, of course, went on to win the Conn Smythe trophy as the MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Whether Tuukka's run will be judged as good as Timmy's will ultimately be determined if the Bruins are hoisting the Cup at the end of the month, but it's interesting to compare the two. Thomas' save percentage of .940 in the 2011 playoffs is the exact number Rask sports at present.
With the Bruins a series win away from returning to the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in three seasons, Thomas' name and historic performance in the B's 2011 Cup run have been brought up many times this year. After all, he was a two-time Vezina Trophy winner, and a Conn Smythe winner, too.
Through the first 13 games of Thomas' historic playoff run in 2011, he was 9-4 with a 2.39 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage. Rask is 9-4 with a 2.10 GAA and a .933 save percentage in 13 postseason games this spring.
They may be similar statistically, but Thomas and Rask are completely different. Just ask Bruins coach Claude Julien.
"Tuukka's normal, really. And you know what, I'm not going to get into Timmy," Julien said with a laugh. "I'm just saying Tuukka is normal like when I say normal as I've ever seen in a goaltender, I could talk to him during periods and go talk to him about a couple of things. I wouldn't dare do that with any other goaltender I've had in the past. They're in their bubble. But with him he listens and it's no problem, so on and so forth. So that's Tuukka. Very relaxed but you've seen the other side of him when things don't go his way, he's got a temper. That to me is normal."
Thomas of course could still be playing for the Bruins, but he decided to take this season off and the Bruins eventually traded his rights to the New York Islanders as a paper trade only.
That opened the door for Rask this season and he's proving his worth in the playoffs. Julien described the difference between the two on the ice.
"When you look at Tuukka when he's at his best he's straight to the puck," the coach said. "Tim is more of a battler. Timmy wasn't about style, it was about battle and as I said at the end of the day it's about making saves. You respect the Dominik Hasek back in the day as much as you respect the guy who is like Patrick Roy, great butterfly goaltender and those two guys had different styles but at the end of the day you take any one of them so we're in that same situation right now where we had Timmy make the save when you had to make the saves and didn't matter how he made them as long as he did, and Tuukka probably technically a little bit more, I don't know if I want to say stable, but he's more of a guy that will follow the puck getting him square to it most of the time."
Chiarelli talks cap space, trade flexibility
But the Bruins have a solid core and the team is already built to win now, so just because Chiarelli has some money to play with, don't think he's going to hurry up and spend it.
"I may be wrong, but available players are going to be scarce," Chiarelli said during a conference call Thursday to announce the Thomas trade to the New York Islanders. "Because of the condensed season, we're trying to figure out the market, when it starts and the ebbs and flows of it. I wanted to be in a position where if something comes along now, because sometimes there are deals when guys try to move guys early, I wanted to be in a position that we would be in the ballgame.
"We've got a good team and that doesn't mean we're gonna go out and get somebody because we have this cap space right now, but sometimes, in my experience, there are deals that come early and you have to be in the ballgame, and we're in the ballgame now. That was the proactive approach that we wanted to take."
NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders have acquired goaltender Tim Thomas in a trade with the Boston Bruins, the teams said.
The trade sent back a conditional second-round pick in 2014 or 2015 to the Bruins.
The move is believed to be purely a cap-related transaction. While the Bruins receive cap space from clearing the last year of Thomas' four-year, $20 million contract from the books, the Islanders add some insurance to reach the cap floor.
The 38-year-old Thomas has not played this season, electing to sit out. A source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun that Thomas still doesn't want to play this season. In addition, the Bruins did not need his permission to trade his rights; his no-trade clause disappeared after last season.
"Thomas' situation is status quo," Thomas' agent, Bill Zito, told ESPN The Magazine's Craig Custance. "As far as I know none of this had anything to do with Tim. In fact, it was news to us when we learned of it."

Said to be content/happy living with his family in Colorado, Thomas not interested in fulfilling final contract yr with BOS/any other team.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) January 6, 2013
Thomas is entering the final season of a contract that will pay him $3 million and will cost the Bruins $5 million against the cap. Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli has said if Thomas doesn't play, he would suspend the goalie.
But even if the Bruins suspend Thomas, the cap hit still would count against the team for next season. However, the Bruins would gain $4 million of that back by placing injured center Marc Savard on long-term injury reserve.
"If he wasn't playing I would have to suspend him," Chiarelli said of Thomas in June. "His cap number would still be on the cap. We would have relief through Savard being on the cap, so it would almost be a wash that way, and that's the way we would proceed through the year. We're not seriously cramped from the cap perspective. As I've said, we've got Marc Savard on LTI and he's at $4 million, and Tim's at $5 million, so do the math and we're maybe a million short. So we're not seriously disabled there. It's something that I'll approach delicately with Tim."
Charlie Jacobs thinks B's can trade Thomas
Jacobs, the son of owner Jeremy Jacobs, expressed confidence that the Bruins will be able to unload Thomas in a trade despite his intention to sit out the 2012-13 season.
"Timmy's going to do what he wants to do, and you know what? I bet we'll get something for him if he elects not to come back," Charlie Jacobs told WEEI. "And there is in fact a floor for the salary cap this upcoming season, I can see teams trading for that $5 million cap [hit] to bring their team up to the floor.
"So I think there will be a market for a player, as ironic as it sounds, there will be a market for a player who's not going to play next year."
Jacobs also questioned Thomas' thought process for skipping the entire season.
"I'm having a hard time wrapping my ahead around that whole line of logic," Jacobs said. "I respect Timmy and I respect his decision, but at 38. ... I want to say he'll be 39 by the time he comes back, taking a year off from pro hockey, from the National Hockey League, from the show, I don't see how it's possible to come back and play at that level. He may prove us all wrong, but I would be stunned. This is prime earning potential for him. This is not chump change -- we're talking 5 million bucks -- and the possibility of another deal if he does perform well."
No stranger to political controversy, Thomas offered his support of Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy, who has come under fire for his recent comments in opposition to same-sex marriage.
Cathy told the Biblical Recorder (Raleigh, N.C.) newspaper earlier this month that Chick-fil-A was "guilty as charged" for its support of "the biblical definition of a family. " He reiterated that stance in a subsequent radio interview.
Politicians and gay-rights advocates have lined up to denounce Cathy and Chick-fil-A for their anti-gay rhetoric.
On Wednesday, Boston mayor Tom Menino added his voice to the chorus.
"There is no place for discrimination on Boston's Freedom Trail and no place for your company alongside it," Menino wrote in a letter stating he would oppose a Chick-fil-A attempt to open a restaurant in Boston.
Thomas has used his Facebook page in the past to illustrate his political views and also to announce that he will take the 2012-13 NHL season off.
Information from ESPNBoston.com's James Murphy and The Associated Press was used in this report.
Longtime NHL scout Grant Sonier and ESPN Insider Craig Custance graded all 30 NHL teams' performance at the 2012 entry draft.
Here's what they had to say about the Bruins:
Boston Bruins: B
The Bruins made a minor deal in sending winger Benoit Pouliot to the Lightning in return for winger Michel Ouellet and a fifth-round pick. GM Peter Chiarelli isn't interested in shaking up his roster too much this summer so it was a quiet weekend for the Bruins. They started to move on from Tim Thomas by drafting Malcolm Subban with their first pick of the weekend. Chiarelli also met with Tuukka Rask's agent, Bill Zito, to talk contract and neither side anticipates any issues getting a deal done.
Sonier's prime picks: Subban was considered a top goaltender in this year's class. The most exciting thing about him is his athleticism. The fact that he started being a goaltender at a late age illustrates how his talent could take him to a starting role if he continues on this upward curve. He had the numbers this season to back it up (.923 SV% in Belleville). Matthew Grzelcyk is a Massachusetts kid who projects as a small, skilled puck-moving defenseman.

Chiarelli thinks Thomas' plans are final
During a teleconference to announce new deals for forwards Chris Kelly and Gregory Campbell, Chiarelli confirmed that he has learned through Thomas' agent, Bill Zito, that Thomas' decision is final.
"I haven't seen his infamous Facebook post. I'm aware of it. I've talked to his agent in the last little bit, and nothing's changed," Chiarelli said. "If you're asking me, 'Has he clarified that he's not playing for the year?' -- he's stated that through his agent that he's not playing for the year, so I guess that's where that stands. But nothing's really changed since the last time I spoke."
Chiarelli also acknowledged that Thomas' decision has already played a role in his approach to roster decisions and remains a consideration moving forward.
"As I said before when we talked about Tim, I'm operating under the premise that our goalies will be Tuukka (Rask) and Anton (Khudobin) because Tim won't be playing for us," Chiarelli said. "So I mean there's a whole -- I'm not going to tell you everything -- but there's a whole host of things that trickle down from that one event. So, yes -- short answer -- yes, it has had an impact."
