Presentation skills training can improve the effectiveness of your organization by unlocking the potential of its members. Popular topics for my dynamic and interactive workshops include:
Master the Art of Speaking with Confidence
Whether you're in the boardroom, on the sales floor, around the proverbial "water cooler," at a conference, on the phone, or anywhere else: your ability to speak with confidence will drive your career forward — just as a lack of confidence will frustratingly hold you back.
In Master the Art of Speaking with Confidence, Christine gives you a set of powerful insights and practical strategies that will rapidly transform your public speaking anxiety and apprehension into poise and polish.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to develop your speaking skills in a way that will transform your career — and change your life!
Speak Like a Leader
How often have you marvelled at presentations by great leaders of this or a previous generation, and imagined that it was you connecting with a rapt audience hanging on every word?
In Speak Like a Leader, Christine takes you on a remarkable tour of the five habits that influential leaders – from political heavyweights, to business icons, to entertainment moguls – rely on to convey confidence, command a room, and transform their listeners.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to open doors, opportunities, and possibilities by speaking like a leader!
Craft Memorable and Engaging Presentations
Let's face it: for many people, the only thing worse than being asked to give a presentation is being invited to sit through one. But it doesn't have to be that way!
In Craft Memorable and Engaging Presentations, Christine teaches you her and foolproof Sandwich Structure, which you'll use to deliver game-changing presentations — even if you don't have ample time to prepare, or if you're striving to get through to a "tough audience." Before you know it, they'll be on your side, in your hands, and ready to applaud.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to become a presentation legend in your workplace, and across your industry!
Powerful Visual Presentations
While there are plenty of things that audiences can dislike about a presentation, their #1 pet peeve is when presenters read off slides. There's simply no faster way to turn off an audience and get them eyeing the exits.
In Powerful Visual Presentations, Christine shows you how to design dynamic and engaging presentation aids and augment them with compelling stories, so that you bring any presentation to life – whether it's in the boardroom, on stage, or anywhere else.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to turn your presentations into must-attend events that will have people remembering fondly and talking positively for weeks, months, or maybe even years!
Say it Right the First Time
How often do you fall short when trying to clearly, convincingly and confidently get your message across "in the moment" – such as when someone asks you a question in a meeting, during a chance encounter, job interviews, media interviews, or in any other situation where you want and need to be at your most articulate?
In Say it Right the First Time, Christine gives you a set of little known – but profoundly effective – tools and tips to ensure that you always express yourself with clarity and composure; even when the last thing you were expecting was to be under the spotlight.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to go from thwarted and tongue tied, to polished, poised, and pointed — the first time, and every time!
Plan Productive Meetings and Facilitate them with Finesse
Do you remember the last truly productive meeting you attended — one that made the best use of your limited time, and empowered you with valuable insights and knowledge? Indeed, such meetings are few and far between. That is, they used to be!
In Plan Productive Meetings and Facilitate them with Ease, Christine shows you precisely how to design and deliver meetings that make an immediate and lasting impact, so you can dramatically enhance your personal brand and drive your career forward.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to turn any meeting into an eagerly anticipated, must-attend event that will get you remembered, respected and revered!
Moderate Panels with Polish
As you've surely experienced from being a speaker or in the audience: not all panels are created equal! While a few are informative, insightful, and inspiring, others are unimpressive, unmemorable, and unfocused.
In Moderate Panels with Polish, Christine shows you how to use your influence and power as a moderator to ensure that your panel has focus and flow, and that your speakers are prepared and poised to make a lasting impact.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to make the next panel you moderate memorable for all of the right reasons!
Evaluation Excellence
If you're one of the millions of people who find evaluating colleagues "easier said than done" — you aren't alone! Even some of the most seasoned professionals dread evaluations, and will do almost anything to delay or avoid the experience. But it doesn't have to be that way!
In Evaluation Excellence, Christine teaches you her unique system for providing the kind of practical, yet visionary feedback that colleagues find motivating, honest, insightful, and helpful. Instead of resenting your efforts, they'll be grateful for your support.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to let your refined leadership skills shine through your transformative evaluation efforts!
Perfect the Art of Pitching Yourself
"What do you do?" may seem like an ordinary question that you're asked all the time — but guess what? In truth, it's really a hidden opportunity to take your personal brand and career to the next level.
In Perfect the Art of Pitching Yourself, Christine shows you how to craft an engaging and illuminating strategic introduction — also known as an elevator pitch — for conferences, networking events, meetings, and all other formal, casual or social situations.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to separate yourself from those who merely answer the question "What do you do?" — instead of exploit it as a unique and invaluable opportunity to make a powerful, lasting impact!
Job Interview Success Strategies
The most devastating mistake professional job seekers make is also the most common: they assume that potential employers are merely looking to "fill an open position," when in reality they're really looking for someone special to drive their organization forward.
In Job Interview Excellence, Christine empowers you with a new framework that dramatically changes how you approach job interviews, and teaches you potent strategies for leveraging your compelling personal story.
Contact Christine to book your workshop today, and get ready to clearly separate yourself from other candidates – and get that dream job!

Since 9/11 there have been visible changes in airport security. From more security guards to lots of new screening technology, catching a plane has certainly gotten more complicated since the tragic events that September day. What people don't realize is that what you physically see is just part of the security policies employed in airports and airplanes.
For example, air marshals work undercover on airplanes. In all likelihood, you will never know if there is an air marshal on your flight. They dress normally, but they actually carry gun and have the authority to make arrests. They are there both as a preventative measure, since potential hijackers know they might be on the flight, and also in case of emergency to take action.
Since there are not enough air marshals to be on every flight, they are only on 5% of flights. The number 5% is a rough estimate because exact numbers are kept secret. The flights the marshals are on are also closely guarded secrets, so that no potential lawbreakers can plan knowing whether or not there is a marshal.

COAT affiliate, American Council of the Blind (ACB), held its annual legislative seminar Monday February 22, 2010 in Arlington, Virginia. A key policy item was H.R. 3101, which includes over five provisions that, if enacted, will greatly benefit people with vision disabilities. Eric Bridges, ACB's Director of Advocacy & Government Affairs, summarized the five key provisions at the seminar:
- Access to Emergency Information on TV--current regulations provide only a tone heard when critical disaster or emergency details are being scrolled across the bottom of the TV screen -- HR 3101 would fix this with some audio output;
- Access to wireless devices such as PDAs, cell phones and "smart" Internet-enabled phones -- HR 3101 would lead to audio outputs of all features, functions & applications;
- Reinstatement of the video description rules that were overturned in 2002 -- now that we're in a digital TV environment there's plenty of bandwidth available for a "secondary audio channel" on the most population programs and channels;
- Accessible user interfaces on TV electronics such as TIVO's, DVRs and all home theater devices -- program guides, remote controls and on screen navigation need audio outputs or cheap & easy-to-use assistive technologies;
- Funding set-aside of $10 million so that America's 70,000-100,000 deaf-blind people will have equipment to make a phone call (!) and access the Internet.
Also speaking at this legislative seminar were Mark Bayer, Legislative Director and Deputy Chief of Staff to Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA), who introduced H.R. 3101 in June 2009, and Jenifer Simpson, Senior Director of Government Affairs at AAPD. AAPD and ACB are founding and steering committee members of COAT.
Paying their own way to ACB's seminar, about one hundred and ten ACB activists & delegates meet their Senators and Representatives on February 23, 2010. I H.R. 3101 will be among the top policy items ACB members will mention. During their Hill visits, they hope to gain more sponsors for the House bill and to ask their Senators to introduce a companion measure in the U.S. Senate.
COAT salutes ACB for its members' advocacy on HR 3101, the 21st Century Communications & Video Accessibility Act.

" Jasmine and Chuck's Travel Journal" Jasmine12's Profile
I am writing this from the cozy location of an internet outpost in the most bizare place I have travelled too thus far. I am currently in Alice Springs...often described as a desert oasis.
After a what felt like a long 3 hour flight across the simpson desert and into the 'red centre' of oz...we arrived in the city of Alice Springs. This is a small city with a dry river and bustling backpaker scene. It is used as the base of further travel into the outback (specifically to Uluru which is about 5 hours away).
I find this place slightly disturbing.
As you look around Alice you see two things: white travellers and shop owners selling souvenirs ...
and dirty, barefoot, unoccupied Aboriginals. These Aboriginals, who have easily and peacefully lived near this land for thousands of years now sit (often drunk) outside the shops (run by white owners) who sell the products they make.
The government, in an effort to acknowledge this obvious situation, has gone to great lengths to include Aboriginal influence in all tourist attractions. This includes a push to use the Aboriginal name Uluru, in place of the european named 'Ayres Rock", a culture centre explaining the significance of the area, and an attempt to persuade visitors NOT to climb the rock.
Yet, despite these good-intentions, one thing remains clear: the aboriginals are talked about, but never directly involved.
In the cultural centre, the town, the shops that sell their amazing artwork, personal representation does not exist.
I know little about the Australian colonization, or the full effects of this tremedous exploitation, but what I do know is that being a tourist in this land illicits a feeling of uneasiness.
Charles and I chose not to climb the rock...we felt (at the very least), we could pay that respect...
After 7 amazing weeks at the tiny school on the ocean cliff, I have finally completed my university prac! I am basically a teacher now (i have 3 months left of university courses and assignments--but no more teaching). This is both an exciting and slightly frightening thought! I am actually going to be trusted to do this??
The day was crazy..the kids were SO excited about the 'good-bye' party, and lack of lessons. It was hard to say good-bye (and there were a few tears), but it was an exhausting 7 weeks, so I am relieved to have it over with.
Last night the amazing school stafff took us out to the best Thai restraunt in the city ("Jasmine Rice" is the name hehe). We had a wonderful evening, and I've developed such a great relationship with my supervising teacher we have plans to stay in touch here and when I return home. She was such a wonderful person.
Tomorrow Charles and I go to Sydney...he leaves sunday to go to Washington for Josh's wedding, and will be back in about 2 weeks.
I am meeting Joce. Lahaie and her boyfriend on saturday, as well as Barb on Sunday. I can't wait to see some canadian friends here in Oz..it'll be great.
Here are a few shots of my prac. This one is of the view at the side of the school. This is what the kids see each time they look out the window!! Sydney is about 30 min down the coast...in the distance of the photo.
Here are my adorable students (years 3 and 4)
Notice their school uniform. All kids in australia wear a school uniform
Charles has returned from his 10day trip to the USA where he was a groomsman in his best mates wedding. First off, I just have to say that i was expecting Charles to look as if he had made a round-world trip by foot when he arrived this morning (seeing as he was gone for a little over a week, crossed 4 time zones, and was on 8 different flights during this period), however, when he arrived at the doorstep this morning he looked like he just went for a jaunt around the block....and later that day decided that he would go mountain biking up Mnt. Keira before dinner....how does that happen? I was flat out when i made this trip in January?!?!
Charles had an absolutenly wonderful time in Washington. He does not have enough good things to say about the Whites (Mel's parents). Mel and her mom and dad entertained and took chuck sightseeing the days prior to the wedding and, quote. "treated me like a king". They have a goregous home just outside of Washington DC, and made him feel right at home.
Charles said the wedding was perfect (after Josh's nerves were calmed--he was sick to his stomach with anticipation), the locale was a golf and country club about an hour from Mel's place. They partied the night away, and Charles didn't sleep at all before catching the plane back home the next day.
Josh and Mel ane now in Maine and then Nova Scotia for their honeymoon
I am sad to have missed it...my only contribution was a short video clip i recorded while at the Opera House in Sydney...it was like a "have a happy marriage" blessing via satellite. hehe
Other related travel news...while waiting outside the LA airport during a 10 hour stopover Charles spotted Simon Baker (huge aussie star from the Guardian), and then during his 8 hours in New Zealand he got to say hello to the whole Brisbane footy team while boarding the plane (Charles now idolizes these very famous sports figures)
Phew...that's the quick rundown. Here is a lovely picture of the gorgeous American sweetheats
Chilly "hellos" from the Snowy Mountain Region of NSW. Charles and I made a last minute decision to blow some (very scarce) cash and head "to the snow" for a weekend of australian skiing. Yes, that's right, this country does have a bit more geographical diversity than I thought. In fact...the home of several aussie ski resorts is on an actual mountain range!
After about 5 hours of driving south west, we got to our resort outside Thredbo mountain. Charles and I were thrilled to hear Greenday, Offspring and POTUSA tunes on the way down--reminisant of our ski racing days and the garbage music we used to 'pump up' with.
Our first day of skiing was less than ideal. Icy slopes and slush bottom trails made it difficult to ski. However, it was a gorgeous day and just to be skiing in Australia was thrill enough for me. We took pictures and explored the hill (which is a little larger than Tremblant)
Overnight about 30 cm of snow fell above us, and as we drove up to the hill the sky got darker and we realized that it wasn't gonna let up
"Sweeet, what a dump man, it's gonna be freshies all day., rip it up!!.." were the comments made by our impossibly immature and severely hung-over guide. That's aussie speak for " great, fresh powder".
As it turned out the "powder' was actually very wet snow that continued alllll day. With no goggles the visibility was nil, but we had no problems having long hot-chocolate breaks in the lodge and watching the aussies outside marvel at the amount of September snow and adorn their car wheels with chains to get around. Bizarre to think that snow is such a novelty in some parts of the world....
Check out some pictures in the e-album
As I borded a 6:00am flight back to Sydney yesterday morning it hit me hard that this would be the last leg of my exploration of australia. I can distinctly remember one night when i first arrived in wollongong. I sat on the couch with my Lonley Planet in hand and, feeling so overwhelmed and confused, tried to tentatively plan the 3 major trips Charles and I would take over our 10 months here. I hated the feeling of wanting to do everything and yet not having any idea where to start or what to expect. And yesterday, after returning from the last 15 days of school holiday time we couldn't help but smile over how little we knew just 8 months ago, and feel pretty happy about how much we have learned and experienced since then.
We certainly would have done some things differently, and we would certainly like to see even more but, on a whole, our travels in this country have been amazing.
With just 7 weeks of school remaining the reality of returning home is slowly seeping into my daily thoughts. I just can't believe that this year of school, which required so much planning and consideration, is coming to a close...
(This photo is of Whitehaven beach, probably the most stunning spot i have been to in Australia. We arrived by sail boat and spent 5 hours just soaking up the beauty of this place. I didn't want to leave)
Picture the business oriented (yawn)capital city of Canberra on a typical tuesday afternoon...that's what 2 fittingly white vans, filled with stir-crazy Candians rolled into before the start of a 7:30 rugby game. We tried to pacify ourselves by taking a tour through the parliment buildings (a vain attempt to make myself feel better for missing tutorials and a presentation I was supposed to give), but soon found ourselves at a bottle shop, stocking up for what would be our pre-game tailgate party.
We seemed to be the only ones with this idea. We arrived early, sat around, had a few drinks...and discussed how we needed 'The Hip"
to complete the scene.
It was amazing the amount of Canadian fans present at this game. It seems as though the aussies have an affinity for us common-wealthers (or else a strong dislike for the Italians-tisk, tisk)
We had a great time decked out in our Roots gear (we could finally wear it without shame)....we lost the match, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless.
check out some other photos in the 'album'
The last of my assignments has been printed off the computer...the academic symbol that things here are coming to a sudden end.
First there was the Grad Ball where the official 'good-bye' speeches were given by the program faculty members--few of whom the students will miss. Then there was the farewell dinner with chuck's boss Hassam and his wife Sadi. Being invited to their new home for a Ramadan feast at sundown was so nice and says a lot about how much Hassam and his family valued Charles during his days at the shop. They tried to speak english the entire dinner, but i think it was one of the first times they had had 'non-lebonese' guests, so it was a difficult attempt. Charles and Sam are going to miss each other...but we have made half-joking plans to visit each other in our respective home countries.
I don't know how i feel about going back to North Bay. Of course I want to see everyone, but the thought of returing to debt and future indecisiveness is making me appreciate these last few weeks of lazing on the beach . I've downloaded applications for grad school --the boldest move I have made so far in my plan to yet again postpone my entry into "the real world" (whatever that means). I think Charles is getting annoyed with my reservations about pursuing this path....I'll figure it out soon I guess.
We have been getting a lot of calls and emails about when we are coming home (on the other hand, some people have seemed to have dissappeared off the face of the earth and we are left wondering where their current location is)
I did not want to tell my gradmother that I would be returning on Dec. 28th, seeing as I promised to be home by Christmas day . i hope she won't stay mad at me for too long.....
P.S: I put up a few pictures from some of the places I've gone lately...look under rugby pics

The best part of that community is that, the people living there have to tell everyone that they live in St James when they get upset or have to wait for anything. Our community loves to hear these people complain about everything. Im going to start saying to them, my family was here first, sorry we didnt by the land first that is sinking!! »

County to receive additional mental-health funding
Gov. Terry Branstad signed a bill Thursday — that also passed in the Iowa House and Senate in February — that would provide an additional $11.6 million in mental-health funding to 26 of the 32 counties in Iowa that applied. Union County is one of those counties that applied for the transitional mental-health funding.

A new harvest revealing hidden resources with the Open Archives Metadata Harvesting Protocol

Using the OAI-PMH--differently
by Herbert van de Sompel
1 edition published in 2003 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide The Open Archives Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) was created to facilitate discovery of distributed resources. The OAI-PMH achieves this by providing a simple, yet powerful framework for metadata harvesting. Harvesters can incrementally gather records contained in OAI-PMH repositories and use them to create services covering the content of several repositories. The OAI-PMH has been widely accepted, and until recently, it has mainly been applied to make Dublin Core metadata about scholarly objects contained in distributed repositories searchable through a single user interface. This article describes innovative applications of the OAI-PMH that we have introduced in recent projects. In these projects, OAI-PMH concepts such as resource and metadata format have been interpreted in novel ways. The result of doing so illustrates the usefulness of the OAI-PMH beyond the typical resource discovery using Dublin Core metadata. Also, through the inclusion of XSL1 stylesheets in protocol responses, OAI-PMH repositories have been directly overlaid with an interface that allows users to navigate the contained metadata by means of a Web browser. In addition, through the introduction of PURL2 partial redirects, complex OAI-PMH protocol requests have been turned into simple URIs that can more easily be published and used in downstream applications

Kenmore Canister Vacuum Bags do contain the dust, and help contain any praticles so they do not go back into the air, I have used this vacuum and these bags for over 5 years and never had a problem at all. It just gets rid of dust, allergens, and other debris, that simple, no fussing needed. When it is time to throw the bag away, I do not find that the dust escapes the bag at all, it is self contained, emptying it in the rubbish is a easy.

I have used the hepa bags previously. My daughter found less expensive paper bags, which I also used. I changed the paper bags twice as much and had a bad experience with pet dander and my guests. I have returned to use the hepa bags with much better results, especially with my guests, and will not switch again. The large size of bags are not important although the price does set one back a bit as I change the vacuum bags once a week at least, full or not.

I use the Kenmore Canister Vacuum Bags, which are made from a cloth material, on all my super dusty areas of the house like the basement and garage because they keep all the dust, dirt and allergens from re-entering into the air. The bags are super sturdy and can hold alot. They are also very easy to load and remove from my canister vacuum.

I buy the Hepa bags rather than non Hepa bags for my Kenmore vacuum sweeper. While the Hepa are a little more expensive, they last a lot long and do a better job of keeping particulants from being blown back in to the air while vacuuming. and with my allergies, that is very important.

I went from one of the old Kenmore vacuum (i had for about 20 years) and loved it....but my new vacuum is sooo much better and i love the new Hepa filters...much cleaner.

The Kenmore Cannister Vacuum Bag does what is says it will do. Household dust and allergians are reduced to a very minimal thanks to the Hepa feature of this bag.I love it!
via sears.com
The Hepa filtration of the bags is great. However the cost for three bags is quite expensive when you can get the paper bags for much cheaper. I wonder how much of a difference it really does make. I bought them this time, but next time with use my old canister bags and see if I can tell the difference.
Sunland, CA

These bags are wonderful for keeping pollen and dog dander out of the air when vacuuming. The only drawback is the price, they are about 4 times the cost of a regular bag.

Kenmore Canister Vacuum Bags are pretty easy to use, even if you're older than old. They hold up really well.

$60-billion for war, zero for unemployment. What exactly are we getting out of these wars again?
Poppies and pipelines my friend, poppies and pipelines. Oh…security too. You see, they won't hate us any more once they're all dead.
Let them eat DU.
Dude, I just spit all over my screen laughing so hard. Never change bud.
Oh yeah, bank accepted my offer, got my house out in the sticks, roughly 40 miles outside of Columbus, Ohio. I'll be sitting on 4.67 acres by August. It's on high ground, easily defended, great loam soil. Getting the f— outta Dodge. Hoping to get up some solar panels and a couple of windmills. I'm striving to be off the grid and independent within two years. Tired of all the BS. Get out now if you aren't out already.
According to other sources (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=37893), the RATS attached a "deemed" 2011 fiscal budget to this bill.
Take a look at ths: http://www.house.gov/budget_republicans/press/2007/notabudgetjun2010.pdf
Good catch dave c. They all will sink to depths we've never imagined.
Interesting that we have legislators (mainly GOP) who have voted consistently to fund two unpaid wars costing us trillions with borrowed money who will not vote money for the unemployed at home costing us billions. The same self serving assholes are always there with a Bible proclaiming that they are "Christians." Christ would puke.
Christ did puke, that is how we got democrats. They are both a bunch of blackmailed and bribed scum – re-elect nobody.
Would anyone like to talk about Binary Load Lifters

Pogue gives the third degree to scientists pushing the limits of technology -- not only to solve horrific murders -- but also to try to prevent crimes before they even happen. He learns the latest techniques, from unraveling the clues embedded in a decomposing corpse, to detecting lies by peering directly into a suspect's brain, to tracking the creation of a criminal mind. And we meet a genius crime-stopper who's made some terrifying discoveries, including how easy it is for a bad guy to highjack -- not just your laptop -- but your kids' toys, medical devices and even your car.

Juxtapoz // Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Featuring staples from Juxtapoz magazine along with a roster of emerging talent, Juxtapoz New Contemporary is a collection of leading painters from around the world.

"The Wilder Mann: Images of the Savage," Photographs by Charles Freger
Juxtapoz // Wednesday, March 20, 2013
French photographer Charles Freger visited rural mountainous farming communities in eighteen European countries to photograph centuries-old rituals where people literally put themselves into the skin of the 'savage.'

Juxtapoz // Thursday, February 14, 2013
Gerhard Richter's artistic career has traversed a whole range of impeccably technical and precise paintings to large laboriously squeegeed abstractions and many things inbetween, all of which have further enriched his fascinatingly labyrinthine oeuvre. His November series comprised of spilled ink images on paper executed with the incorporation of benzene, acetone and black tushe in order to create a variegated range of tones and colors is a wonderfully controlled experiment...

Why Lockerbie bomber is likely to be released
The Libyan intelligence agent convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 drew closer to release from a British jail on Tuesday when a procedural hurdle was removed.
Alastair Grant/AP
This week, Britain came within a whisker of releasing on "compassionate" grounds an ailing Libyan intelligence agent who was convicted for planting the bomb that killed 270 people on Pam Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.
The British press reported that the release was headed off by furious US lobbying. Until 9/11, the bombing – which killed 180 Americans – was the deadliest terror attack on US civilians. But speculation is still strong that Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the quietly spoken agent sentenced to life in prison for Britain's deadliest ever terror attack, could be headed home soon to spend his last days with his family. Mr. Megrahi is reported to be diagnosed with cancer.
On Tuesday, a Scottish court allowed Megrahi to drop an ongoing appeal, something that was an obstacle to his possible early release. Now, most British observers expect he'll soon be sent home, where he is expected to receive a hero's welcome.
The debate over releasing Megrahi has reopened old wounds for the families of victims and created a rare cross-Atlantic spat, with the Obama Administration staunchly opposed to either a release of Megrahi or his transfer to Libyan custody, something Scotland Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill is also considering.

Seriously... I know I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and he's gonna be in the hospital.

I didn't see it, gif please?

He looked like he had his bell rung, but not every bell ringing shot to the head leads to a concussion. I've been knocked senseless many times in my life, and have never ever sustained a concussion. My guess is the shoulder took a lot of the force into the boards.

Yeah, it looked real bad. But if he had a concussion they wouldn't have put him back out there.

Glad he's alright. That looked scary seeing him motionless on the ice with his face covered in snow.
Posted 23 March 2014 - 07:17 AM
He passed the protocol. He probably was concussed, but it was minor enough to where he could get back out there. That's not to say he couldn't develop worsening symptoms later though.
I bought some Maple Lea Tea. It cost a fortune and didn't come with a Cup.

Concussion has become such a scare word now. Even losing consciousness doesnt mean you'll get a concussion. Yes they are scary and need to be taken seriously but sometimes I really think we're getting too worried about them
Posted 23 March 2014 - 05:21 PM
I was at the game and was sitting a couple of rows behind the bench, right on the tunnel. When they skated him over to the tunnel, he looked totally dazed, like he didn't know what was going on.
Piet came out and was talking to the D coach and Babs, and then went back in. Kronwall was out for a while, but seemed ok once he got back.
Posted 23 March 2014 - 05:33 PM
Maybe that's Kronner's MO. Or maybe he's just one tough SOB. I don't remember if he missed any games from it, but he looked exactly the same when Stewart boarded him in 2011.

he's no orpik, but he is tough. he's got mad skills.

He played well tonight, so it doesn't seem like a concussion occurred

Remain Cautious About Caterpillar
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- About two weeks ago, after missing revenue and earnings estimates for four consecutive quarters, the world's largest mining and construction equipment company Caterpillar (CAT - Get Report) surprised Wall Street by delivering better than expected quarterly results. Caterpillar reported strong demand for construction equipment, helped by aggressive cost-cutting measures. Moreover, the business also gave an optimistic forecast for 2014. Amid all this positivity, Caterpillar shares have risen by 11% since the earnings release, including yesterday's rally, and are currently hovering around $96.
However, I believe investors should think twice before buying into this optimism. Caterpillar's core operating area, resource industries, will likely struggle through 2014. This will be an extremely challenging year for Caterpillar, as it is targeting flat revenues in the current year, as compared to last year. This means that its other segments will have to show consistent improvements to offset the declines coming from mining equipment.
Caterpillar gets 95% of its revenue from the sale of machinery and power systems via three segments: resource industries, construction industries and power systems.
In the previous quarter, Caterpillar posted a 10.4% year-over-year drop in total sales and revenues to $14.4 billion, which was entirely due to the 11.1% drop in sales of machinery and power systems. On other hand, earnings soared 44%, to $1 billion or $1.54 per share, from just $697 million or $1.04 per share in the corresponding quarter of 2012. The company easily managed to surpass the market's expectations of a profit of $1.28 per share from revenues of $13.6 billion.
However, this massive jump in earnings is largely due to controversial write-down of a Chinese acquisition (Siwei) last year. Excluding the impact of that one-time item would bring down Caterpillar's earnings growth from 44% to just 5%. Aggressive Cost Cutting Some of this earnings growth can also be attributed to the firm's aggressive cost-cutting measures. Due to fewer sales, the cost of goods sales has naturally dropped. But the business has also been able to reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses by 11%, while the research and development expenditure has been cut by 24%. This was already anticipated, as Caterpillar has been scaling back operations in several regions, ranging from Minnesota to Belgium. The business also eliminated around 9,700 jobs, of which 40% were its U.S. workforce. The ongoing cost cutting and restructuring efforts, which started in 2013, will continue through 2014. They will have a positive impact of nearly $200 million in 2014 and around $450 million each year after 2015. This, I believe, will give a much needed support to Caterpillar's earnings, as it will offset some of the pressure coming from an unfavorable product mix. Strength in Key Areas However, the Chinese acquisition and cost-cutting measures aren't the only things that have driven Caterpillar's earnings. More importantly, the business has benefited from the accelerated recovery in the U.S. housing market. This led to an increase in demand for construction equipment and power systems, and had a positive impact on Caterpillar's earnings. The business's revenues from the construction industries and power systems segments increased by 20% and 5% from last year to $4.8 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Do You Have Thyroid Disease?
Improve Your Thyroid Health – Naturally
Are You at Risk for Hypothyroidism?
Handle Hashimoto's Naturally
9 Health Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore
Weight changes and depression are just two symptoms that may indicate thyroid problems in women. In this exclusive Lifescript interview, Elizabeth Pearce, M.D., explains why the issue affects so many. Find out how to stay healthy and see if you might have thyroid disease...
Ever wonder why you don't hear much about guys and thyroid problems?
Although men have the gland, they're less likely to develop problems with it. In fact, about 1 in 8 women will develop a thyroid problem in their lifetime.
So what issues should women watch out for? Lifescript asked Elizabeth Pearce, M.D., a clinical endocrinologist and associate professor at Boston University School of Medicine, for answers.
Read on to find out how diet, pregnancy and smoking can all affect your risk of thyroid disease.
What's the biggest thyroid problem women face?
The most common is hypothyroidism, when the thyroid doesn't make enough thyroid hormone.
Without this hormone, your metabolism slows and you may gain weight, feel sluggish and tired, and get depressed.
Your periods may become irregular and you may have dry skin and nails.
About 10% of all women have an underactive thyroid; the condition affects about only 3% of men.
What increases the risk of thyroid disease?
The types and frequency of thyroid disease vary around the world, based on the amount of iodine in the diet.
Smoking also increases risk.
Don't we get enough iodine in our diets from iodized salt?
Overall, Americans have been getting enough iodine since salt iodization was started in the 1920s.
But the amount in the American diet has decreased by about half since the 1970s.
That's partially due to a decline in the amount of [iodized] salt we eat.
But there's also less iodine in certain foods than before, particularly cow's milk and bread.
That's because iodate dough conditioners are used less often by many bread manufacturers.
Also, federal legislation in the 1980s limited the amount of iodine in cattle feed, which may be one reason why milk has less iodine.
In fact, 30% of the salt we purchase for household use in this country isn't iodized.
Most sea salt, for example, doesn't contain iodine.
In addition, most of the salt we eat is in commercially processed foods and many commercial food processors use non-iodized salt.
Why is iodine deficiency a concern?
Iodine deficiency is a huge problem in some countries, especially for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Because iodine is needed to make thyroid hormone, which is needed for brain development, iodine deficiency can cause brain damage in unborn babies.
In the U.S., the
American Thyroid Association
has recommended that all pregnant or breastfeeding women take a prenatal vitamin that contains 150 mcg of iodine daily.
Why do some women have thyroid problems after pregnancy too?
As many as 1 in 10 women develop postpartum thyroiditis – inflammation of the thyroid within several months after giving birth.
When the thyroid gets inflamed, it can leak out hormone, so you become a little hyperthyroid [when the gland overproduces thyroid hormone].
Then, when you run out of thyroid hormone, you may become hypothyroid until your gland heals.
Symptoms can be very subtle. Some women lose weight; others feel anxious.
You might blame these things on being a new mom. But if the diagnosis is missed, it's not usually critical. If it's really mild, you just watch it. The whole thing resolves within several months in most women.
If it's severe, you may need treatment for the symptoms.
In most women, the hyperthyroid and hypothyroid phases last several weeks.
But not all women experience both phases. About 5% of women will be left with permanent hypothyroidism.
It tends to recur in subsequent pregnancies and it's also more common in women with autoimmune diseases.
So should all pregnant women get a thyroid test?
The concern is that low thyroid hormone in pregnant women may be associated with lower IQ in their children.
Universal thyroid screening in expectant women has been controversial.
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists suggests that all pregnant women should be tested.
The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that asymptomatic women should not be tested. The Endocrine Society recommends testing if a woman has symptoms of hypothyroidism or if she has anti-thyroid antibodies, a family history of
autoimmune disease
or other risk factors for hypothyroidism.
Why the controversy?
There are three reasons: One, getting your thyroid tested is costly.
Two, healthy pregnant women often have thyroid blood test results outside what's considered normal (due to physiologic changes during pregnancy). Most labs can't provide normal, trimester-specific reference ranges, so inappropriate interpretation and treatments are possible.
And three, we don't know if hypothyroidism treatment improves outcomes in babies; that's being studied.
How do you know if you have hypothyroidism?
It's tricky, because many of the symptoms are vague and can be easily blamed on lifestyle.
Fatigue, for instance, may be the result of being busy, not just an underactive thyroid.
Weight gain may come from eating too much or not getting enough exercise.
You need to get a TSH test – a blood test that measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone in your blood.
If your thyroid isn't making enough thyroid hormone, your pituitary will make more TSH, which tells the thyroid to make more of its hormone.
How is hypothyroidism treated?
You take a synthetic version of thyroid hormone in a pill to replace what your body isn't making.
Can your thyroid go in the other direction, becoming too active?
Hyperthyroidism is much less common than hypothyroidism, affecting just 1% of the U.S. population. It's also more complex and difficult to diagnose and treat.
In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid is making too much thyroid hormone, which can cause shakiness, heart palpitations, insomnia and weight loss.
How do you treat hyperthyroidism?
Depending on the cause, it can be treated with anti-thyroid medications, radioactive iodine or surgery to remove the thyroid. There are two anti-thyroid drugs that can be used to treat hyperthyroidism: PTU (propylthiouracil) and methimazole.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that, of the two medicines, methamizole should be the first treatment in almost all cases, because PTU has been implicated in rare cases of liver failure.
Whatever you do, if you have hyperthyroidism, make sure you have an experienced [doctor] taking care of it.
Why are we hearing a lot about thyroid cancer lately?
The U.S. incidence of thyroid cancer rose from
3.6 per 100,000 people in 1973 to 8.7 in 2002.
In 2009, estimates show about 37,000 new cases diagnosed and 1,630 thyroid cancer deaths.
A lot more people are getting CT scans and ultrasounds, so maybe we're catching more thyroid cancer. But the true incidence may be growing. There might be environmental reasons, such as changes in radiation exposure or diet.
Though it's a common cancer, it tends to be very treatable. Exact treatment depends on your age, the size and type of the tumor and whether the cancer has spread to other organs.
Thyroid cancer tends to be more common [as women] age. If you have thyroid cancer, you may have the thyroid surgically removed and there may or may not be additional treatment with radioactive iodine.
What can women do to keep their thyroids healthy?
Not much, other than not smoke.
If you live in the U.S., you can assume you're getting enough iodine in your diet. Unless you're pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy, you shouldn't have to do anything.
You should be aware of what the front of your neck feels like.
If you feel any new lumps, which could be thyroid nodules, tell your doctor.
Most thyroid nodules aren't cancerous, but they still need to be checked out. They also don't always cause symptoms. Many people really have no idea they have one until a doctor feels it or it gets picked up on imaging.
So when you have a check-up, should you ask for a TSH test?
If you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, you should definitely have a TSH test.
However, experts disagree about routine testing in people without symptoms.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says there's no evidence for routine screening. The American Thyroid Association, on the other hand, says every adult should start routine TSH screenings every 5 years starting at age 35.
Do You Have Thyroid Disease?
Always cold or hot? Heart racing a mile a minute? Whether underactive or overactive, a thyroid problem can make your body feel out of whack. Knowing the symptoms can help your doctor diagnose the problem and get you feeling better fast. Do you know what to look for? Find out with

Chicago tips and tricks
December 31, 2007, 12:56:20 PM »
Hey everyone, I don't know if anybody was watching the travel channel on Christmas day, but they had a show called Pizza Wars. It was basically showing the differences between Chicago style and New York style pizzas. What was cool about it was that they showed the kitchens of Lou's, Gino's, and pizzeria UNO. I tried looking for any type of label or brand or technique and this is what I saw.
1. For getting the deep dish out of the pan - I saw at Lou's that the guy was using a grip tool (looks like vice grips) on the edge of the deep dish pan and in the other hand a piece of circular cardboard with foil wrapped around it. He picked up the pizza pan with the grip tool and quickly flung the pizza half way out of the pan and caught it with the foiled cardboard, so now half the pizza is on the cardboard and the other half is supported by the edge of the deep dish pan. Then he gently slide the rest onto the cardboard. Done.
I also visited an UNO's and asked the waitress how they get the pizza out and she said that they use something like a metal lid and put it over the pizza, then they filp the pizza upside down to get it out of the pan, and then they flip it back into the box.
2. Putting sausage on the pizza - At Gino's they took the raw sausage, flattened it and rolled it up. Like if you were rolling up a news paper. Then they placed it on top of the cheese and rolled it back out. Then spread it out on the cheese and dough just like you would spread out the dough in the pan. NOTE: the dough and cheese were already in the pan.
3. Cheese - you probably already know this but they don't use shredded cheese, they use thinly sliced cheese. Like what you would use on a sandwich.
4. Lou's sauce - Marc said that they use their own sauce, and he showed the can. The label just had the lou's logo and it also said, something like whole vine cut. I think, I can check on that when I get home. NOTE: Marc was sticking his fingers in the sauce and eating the clumps of tomatoes. He said he does it all the time which I think is gross and unsanitary.
That's all the tricks I got out of it. I'll look to see if someone posted the show on You Tube. If I find it then I'll post a link.
Hope this helps. - Brad

My wife and I watched the same show with interest. I agree on the finger diving into the tomatoes at Lou's. Gotta wonder about that practice, especially if the guy double dips. We also noted how at Gino's they unrolled the sausage patty out onto the pie, then trimmed and filled as needed. I've tried this approach, with dismal results. I now just build the patty right on the pie, starting in the middle and working my way out to the edges. Since I'm not "into" New York Style Pizza, I did not pay too much attention to those segments. But the Chicago Deep Dish segments were quite interesting.

NBA Injury News
Last updated 11/19/14
As predicted, Anderson Varejao's injury, originally diagnosed as a bruised knee, was far worse than the Cleveland Cavaliers thought. He had actually suffered a torn muscle in his quadriceps near the knee. Varejao underwent surgery for the injury, but Varejao suffered a blood clot in his lung after surgery. He remains hospitalized.The Cavaliers have announced that Varejao will miss the remainder of the season with the injury, according to an Associated Press report. A blood clot in the lung is a serious problem that could result in death if not treated properly. Luckily, Varejao was already in the hospital because of the surgery, so doctors quickly treated him for the problem. The team released a statement confirming the problem and Varejao's status, and general manager Chris Grant spoke of Varejao's condition."Clearly our players' health is our top concern and we are disappointed for Anderson, and his family. We know what a competitor he is and how much he wants to be on the court helping his teammates. In the meantime, he has our full support and we look forward to welcoming him back as he recovers."Varejao was having a nice season for the Cavs despite the team's struggles. He averaged 14.1 points and 14.4 rebounds per game this season. In his career, Varejao has averaged 7.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. He will be missed as the Cavaliers look to build off this season going forward. The team, though, would not have surged to any type of playoff run even if Varejao had been healthy all season long.

Was Justin Bieber at 1OAK nightclub in LA when gunshots rang out in a room packed with celebrities, like Chris Brown and Suge Knight? Suge was reportedly hit six times and rushed to the hospital. Photos have emerged of Justin and Chris partying together the very same night. We hope Justin is OK!
Suge Knight, 49, was rushed to the hospital after being shot six times in a Chris Brown hosted pre-VMAs party at 1OAK last night, Aug. 23. However, was Justin Bieber, 20, also in the club at the same time, since we know that he and Chris were photographed together earlier that night. The good friends were partying at an LA mansion just prior to the 1OAK bash in West Hollywood.
Justin Bieber & Chris Brown Together Before Shooting At 1OAK — Is The Biebs OK?
Justin's rep could not confirm or deny whether the "Baby" singer was at 1OAK last night, when HollywoodLife.com checked to see if he's okay. Thankfully, Justin doesn't appear to have been one of the injured.
Chris and Justin spent some quality time together, TMZ reports.
Inside the Los Angeles mansion, Justin wore a brown fedora and sunglasses. He reportedly hung out with Chris and his crew for a majority of the time.

In a video posted by Chris, you can see the "Loyal" singer and Justin, along with a huge crowd, singing the lyrics to his chart-topping hit. Watch it below!
Chris Brown Shot At During Pre-VMA Party — Report
Gunshots were fired at Chris' party at around 1:30 a.m, TMZ reports. The singer was not hurt, but Suge was taken to the hospital, according to Daily Mail.
In a video posted by Kathy Kt on Instagram, you can see partygoers scrambling for cover as the shots are fired. Guests are heard yelling and screaming as they seek safety.
Following the incident, Chris was seen driving away from the scene of the crime. The singer, who was allegedly the intended target of the shootings, then tweeted: "It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes. Miss me with the bullsh*t!!!"
His fans, who were understandably freaking out, also reacted on the social media network.
See more footage from the shooting below.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve
got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

They were warning Justin to stop throwing gang signs. And Chris' girlfriend told him to stop hanging with gangs. But hopefully all the injured are OK. One report said Justin didn't make it because he got a bit too drunk at the earlier party. If he wants to be gangster he better get use to this. Maybe it'sa wake up call. Although knowing him, I doubt it.

Justin should get used to things like this if he's gonna hang around rappers and stuff.
Shootings happen all the time at clubs where rappers hang out.
If Suge Knight survives this latest crisis and he starts going to clubs again, I would think he wants to die.
Next time you are at a club and Suge walks through the door . LEAVE! QUICKLY!
