Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN insider: Catcher Miguel Montero will be D-backs' 'linchpin' in 2014
Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers might have pulled the trigger on a three-team trade that netted the team power-hitting outfielder Mark Trumbo back in Dec. 2013, but according to one baseball analyst, the team will need another big bat to step up if it plans on finding its way into postseason play.
In an ESPN insider piece this weekend, Buster Olney released his '30 Linchpin Players of 2014' -- a list of the one player for "each of the 30 teams whose performance will be most pivotal."
When it came to the D-backs, Olney believes the onus will be on catcher Miguel Montero to have a big year.
Arizona Diamondbacks: Miguel Montero. They greatly value him, and they're paying him to be a key part of their lineup. When he didn't hit last season, it really, really hurt; he must be an effective complement to Paul Goldschmidt.
Montero, who signed a new five-year, $60-million deal back in May 2012, struggled mightily last season, batting just .230 with 11 home runs and 42 RBI -- his lowest offensive outputs since 2010.
To make matters worse, Montero directed a starting pitching staff that finished No. 19 in ERA (4.13), No. 19 in WHIP (1.32), No. 22 in opponents' BAA (.264) No. 25 in wins (46).
In addition to his struggles on the field, the seven-year veteran missed a majority of August due to a lower back strain.
Montero also underwent surgery to clean up an infection in his left index finger back in October but is expected to be at full strength in 2014. He along with Trumbo will be asked to serve as some additional lineup protection for Paul Goldschmidt (.302 batting average, 36 home runs and 125 RBI), who finished second in the MVP voting despite the catcher's woeful campaign in 2013.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe progressing well from surgery
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- With each passing day, Phoenix Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe gets closer to returning to the court.
While there remains no firm timetable -- all parties have expressed optimism of a post-All-Star break return -- the good news is Bledsoe has not suffered any setbacks in his recovery from arthroscopic knee surgery in January.
The 24-year-old guard was re-evaluated over the weekend.
"Doctors said everything looks good," head coach Jeff Hornacek said Monday. "He's just going to continue his rehab. But, I think, because he got that OK, they'll step up his workload and continue to push him to get back as soon as he can."
Bledsoe is three weeks removed from surgery involving meniscus cartilage -- it's unclear whether it was repaired or removed -- in his right knee.
Immediately after the procedure, his leg was placed in a brace, forcing him to use crutches to get around. After a few days, both the brace and crutches were discarded, allowing Bledsoe to focus on strength-building exercises and range of motion drills.
His rehab has now progressed to the next step, according to Hornacek.
"They're going to have him do some more running now," he said after practice. "They wanted to wait on that pounding a little bit to see how he's progressing. I think he can do a little bit of that; obviously, they'll build him up into that. I think weights...I think a lot of it was manual. Now I think he can really hit the weights.
"It's going good."
At the time Bledsoe hurt his knee -- in a game against his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, on Dec. 30 -- he was averaging career highs in points (18.0), rebounds (4.3) and assists (5.8) per game.
The Suns, after struggling initially, have won 10 of 17 games in his absence.

It begins: Claire McCaskill endorses Hillary for 2016
posted at 12:31 pm on June 18, 2013 by Allahpundit
Why endorse someone who's probably still 12-18 months from formerly announcing her candidacy? Because: McCaskill, famously, was one of the first prominent Democrats to back The One over HIllary six years ago. She helped make him a credible challenger at a moment when Team Clinton was trying to frame him as not yet ready for primetime. She also said this of Bill Clinton on "Meet the Press": "I think he's been a great leader but I don't want my daughter near him." In other words, McCaskill's very, very much on the outs with a notoriously ruthless political operation that stands a real chance of capturing the White House three years from now. If she doesn't do something dramatic to fix that, she'll end up as one of the least influential Democrats in Congress.
So she's doing something dramatic. Time to kiss the ring:
"Hillary Clinton had to give up her political operation while she was making us proud, representing us around the world as an incredible Secretary of State, and that's why Ready for Hillary is so critical," McCaskill said. "It's important that we start early, building a grassroots army from the ground up, and effectively using the tools of the Internet – all things that President Obama did so successfully – so that if Hillary does decide to run, we'll be ready to help her win."
Sen. McCaskill commended Ready for Hillary for embracing the early supporters of then-Sen. Obama, saying, "They aren't only reaching out to folks who supported Hillary in 2008. They're helping to show that regardless of who you supported for President back then, we can all agree today that there is nobody better equipped to be our next President than Hillary Clinton."
The fact that she's willing to shank Joe Biden and other would-be Democratic contenders this early in the game tells you either (a) that she feels, probably rightly, that she has far more to fear from the Clintons than from any of their competitors or (b) that Beltway Democrats think Hillary's basically a lock to run and win the nomination. Chris Cillizza makes a good point too about McCaskill's self-interest in all this:
McCaskill knows that her political future in Missouri is a difficult one. She almost certainly would not be in the Senate right now if Republicans hadn't nominated Todd "legitimate rape" Akin in 2014. Missouri has moved from a swing state to a GOP-leaning one in the last decade and there's no reason to believe, demographically speaking, that it will move back toward Democrats any time soon.
That means that McCaskill will face a VERY difficult race in 2018. She knows that and may well be looking at her other political options — one of which would be to serve in a Clinton Cabinet. The best way to set yourself up for that possibility is to pick a candidate as early as possible — see Tim Kaine's endorsement of Obama in 2007 — and then work like hell to try to get them elected.
Right, although I wonder if even sustained pro-Hillary cheerleading would be enough to earn McCaskill a spot in the cabinet after the betrayal of 2007. More likely, I think, is that she's hoping President Hillary will come to Missouri and stump for her in 2018 in order to turn out Democrats. Unless the GOP pulls the pin on another Akin-esque grenade in the primaries, they'll have a great chance to win that seat. A big Democratic showing will be McCaskill's only chance and the Clintons (and her old friend Barack) are the way to make that happen.
Exit question: Which other Democratic Hillary enemies should we expect to do some early ass-kissing in order to make nice?

MLB games be held in Taiwan: US newspaperBy Joseph Yeh ,The China Post February 22, 2014, 12:03 am TWN TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Major League Baseball (MLB) could hold its season-opening games in Taiwan in 2015, a U.S. newspaper reported earlier this week.
Quoting an unidentified source, the San Francisco Chronicle said in a story released Wednesday that the MLB is "exploring the possibility of season-opening games in Taiwan in March 2015." The Oakland Athletics is at the top of possible teams to go on that trip, the source told the newspaper. The A's have played season openers in Asia twice before, in Tokyo in 2008 and 2012. A's general manager Billy Beane said after each trip that they'd enjoy going any time they're asked, the report said. "We've always been open to considering playing international games, subject to details," Beane was quoted in the report. "I can only speak for baseball operations, but our experiences in Japan were fantastic from a baseball standpoint." The MLB has held two exhibition series in Taiwan in the past four years. However, it has never held regular season games in the country. An All-Star team of major leaguers led by then-New York Yankees stars Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson played five games against a Taiwanese team in November 2011. The All-Star teams swept the series and went home with five wins. In March 2010, former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre led the Dodgers, whose roster included Manny Ramirez and James Loney, in a two-game series. Meanwhile, former MLB All-Star infielder Felipe Lopez announced Thursday that he will be joining the Brother Elephants of the local Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the upcoming season that is schedule to kick off next month. Lopez made the announcement through his Twitter account. Asked to comment, the Elephants would not confirm the news, saying that the deal has yet to be sealed. A one-time All-Star player for the Cincinnati Reds in 2005, Lopez last appeared in the majors in 2011. He left with a 0.206 percent batting average in 153 plate appearances at the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers. In 11 major league seasons, the Puerto Rican switch-hitter played on eight different teams. His career totals include a 0.264 batting average with 90 home runs and 124 stolen bases.

I have been reading, with much interest, all the posts on Kenya and the Amboseli and Porini Lion Camp, which I will be visiting. I have had my shots, think I have my clothes picked out that I will need, camera ready....but am wondering about maleria meds suggestions, weather (rain?) . Am flying on Ethiopia Airlines, anyone familiar? As the first part of the trip is medical mission, much of our checked baggage is equipment, so I am limited on what I can take and what can do double duty for me.
I want to thank everyone who has posted something. I have read all of your stories and am so anxious to get going!

You can generally look up weather/climate info online; I Googled "weather congo february" and got a lot of results showing average temp and rainfall, etc. Here's one: http://www.climatetemp.info/democratic-republic-of-the-congo/
I did something similar prior to my trip to Kenya, and there are sites that will break down their numbers further so that you can target particular regions.
From what I'm seeing, you shouldn't need a raincoat (and the Porini camps, at least, have umbrellas and warm, waterproof ponchos).
Have a great time! -

I have been checking Weather Underground and it seems according to all I read, Feb is wettest month for where I will be in DRC. I am trying to pack for both places, DRC requiring me to wear skirts every day. As I mentioned before, airlines is very restrictive on baggage and I am trying to make everything do double duty! Were ticks a problem for you? Have all kinds of mosi stuff, some with deet.
What did you spend daily for all tips? Want to make sure I have planned enough for everyone! And what did you end up taking the kids? I, too, was thinking about those rubber type braclets or punch balls (that blow up) or glow stick type things. Anything they really need or could use?
Am counting down the days! Thanks for your input. -
Report Abuse
Ticks weren't a problem at all, nor were mosis; I actually got my sole insect bite in Nairobi. I pre-treated my clothes with an insect repellent because bugs normally love me, but I don't even think I needed it. The camps provided plenty of good repellent wipes; I used almost none of the stuff I brought. Not sure if I just got lucky at that time of year, but I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of bugs.
I think the recommended tips per day were in the $25-$35 range (it varied from camp to camp), and I generally tried to tip on the high side because I was often the only one at the camps and I thought they did such a great job catering to me. Definitely bring small bills (with recent dates), though; I went through a LOT of singles and fives.
As for gifts, I ended up just taking school supplies; I kept seeing conflicting reports on what to bring the kids, and I was starting to run out of room in my bags. Tony at Amboseli told me that it was better just to provide things directly to the school, but I know others on this forum have had fun bringing SillyBandz, balloons, glow sticks, etc., so I know it's been done -- and successfully -- in the past. Totally up to you.
Oh, and as for clothes doing double duty, keep in mind that skirts would probably be just fine for your game drives (although warm socks would be a good idea for early morning and night drives; it gets chilly). I do think you'd want at least one pair of pants along to wear on your nature walks.
One last thing, if you get seasonal allergies, you might want to bring something for them. I don't remember who it was here that gave me that advice, but it was spot on. I was sneezing up a storm when I arrived at Porini Rhino, in particular, and it would have been downright ugly if I hadn't had allergy meds. -
Report Abuse
Thanks for the info! I actually ordered some repellent to pre-treat my clothes from DrugStore.com and am waiting for it to arrive.
As space is fast becoming an issue, I am going to go with pencils, pens, glue sticks, stickers for the kids.
I am a seasonl alergy person so thats for that tip. Since it is not an issue for me now, I would have not thought of that. I will add Zertec to the list. The list just keeps growing!
Also, thanks for the tipping info. It sounds like the service has been great and I want to make sure that I have enough to give them, so I will add more small bills to my list!
I have about 4 weeks and am counting the days.

mrs. If you are looking for a bed that has support this is NOT the bed for you. In the picture the dog is on top of the bed and is not sunk in. In real life this bed is very floppy and my dog sinks into it. The picture is very very misleading. This one is going back.

Big! This is one BIG dog bed. Make sure you have the floor space to use if you have a house dog and the strength to carry/move it. I got it for my sister who has three dogs. They use it occasionally but seem to prefer to sleep against it rather than on it. While I am no expert but it doesn't really feel like memory foam. Although it is heavy it seems to be due more to the size than the density of the foam.

Super Comfy! This pet bed is large enough for my two dogs to snuggle up together and share. It is so comfy that I often find my pre-teen son laying on it with the dog to play video games.

Golden years My golden retriever boy is in his golden years - 12+. This bed maintains it's support but allows him to curl up and rest in comfort. He looks so comfortable when sleeping on it, i'm tempted to take a nap with him. It seems he wakes up more ready for his day now that he has this bed. i'll probably get him aother one.

Be aware shipping back to Overstock is costly If you're thinking this is a firm memory foam -- it's not. Most memory foams I know will leave an imprint. This is soft and bouncy. To be sure, your pup won't sink to the floor (there is a lot of material), but the memory foam is padded with other stuff -- it's not all memory foam. The Sand color made me chuckle -- it looks like something from the 70s, and when it's on a large 3'X4', it REALLY takes over. I tried sending this back. Overstock wanted to charge me well over $20 per bed. The best part was the guy on the phone said: "That's why I don't buy things online and prefer to buy things in person -- you can't tell with beds and with colors." Nice. He got some free, unsolicited career advice from me. This goes in my how not to run a company book.

Beware "bonded polyester" I've been looking for a nice firm, supportive bed for my 11 year-old, 75-pound lab and have done lots of research and red lots of online reviews. Trusting in the Simmons name, in memory foam, and in the positive reviews on Overstock.com, I ordered this bed. When I pulled it out of the box the bed was very floppy. I immediately unzipped the cover to look inside and discovered to my extreme disappointment that the "2 inches of bonded polyester" consists of 2 layers of a material that resembles cotton batting in consistency and which compressed to 1/4-inch or less with a light pinch. There is indeed a 2-inch layer of memory foam on top of that, and it seemed of OK quality but my old, stiff-hipped gal needs more firm support beneath that--the bonded polyester seemed to me completely useless in that regard, so back goes the bed. On a positive note, the customer service rep who just handled my call was wonderful--very kind, efficient, and customer-oriented. I will certainly continue to shop on Overstock.com.

Excellent bed for dogs with hip/joint problems I bought this bed because my dog has a weak hip and I noticed that she was very stiff when she woke up. The bed is a bit high and it took her a bit of coaxing to get her onto it but now she likes it and she hasn't woken up stiff anymore. I've had the bed for a month now and it hasn't shown any sign of sagging. It's firm but soft and the Overstock price can't be beat. I highly recommend this bed for any dog with joint or hip problems.

Fantastic high quality bed! This is a thick, plush, well-made bed. I got the silver sage and it's a lovely muted light green--true to its description. Thick piping, and the density is amaaazing! I laid on it with my shep/lab mix--I'm 135 pounds, she's 65 and neither us of sank through to the floor. It's super thick and soft. Not too firm, and not mushy. I highly doubt it will get lumpy. And because it is so thick, she can hang her head off the side, which most dogs love to do. It's pretty much like a giant couch cushion. It's great!! She's been crashed out, with body fully extended, for hours since it arrived. She looks completely at peace. It's her own personal mattress! LOVE IT!

Questions & Answers
it falls apart when i try to remove it. it is not a solid piece
Is there a waterproof liner that can be used for the 35 x 44 inch bed?
Im sorry we do not have that available on Overstock.com.
This product has a small zipper inside the cover with the foam filling. Do I have to remove the filling before washing? I presume thats what the zipper is for.
Yes, it's advisable to remove the filling before washing. If necessary, the filling can be handwashed with warm, soapy water.

Top 5 Tips on Choosing a Pet Bed
Dogs, cats, and other small pets often enjoy the cozy softness of a warm bed, just as humans do. Pet beds are designed with a variety of needs, habits, and preferences in mind. From orthopedic foam cushions to elegant replicas of human furniture, pet beds can be both practical and stylish additions to your home. Keeping these tips in mind while you shop can help you choose the best bed for your pet.
Best Pet Beds for Your Pet
When you bring a new pet home, you'll want to give him a cozy pet bed to curl up in at the end of the day. Pet beds come in different sizes and shapes for different types and sizes of pets. Most popular for dogs and cats, pet beds give you a good way to keep your furry friend from sleeping on your furniture. It's important to choose pet supplies that meet your pet's needs. The pet bed you choose should provide support, security, and comfort for your dog or cat, so choose one that is right for your pet's sleeping habits and for his breed. The following list of pet bed types can help you find the right bed for you and your pet companion.
How to Choose a Pet Bed
Did you know that cats sleep an average of 16 hours a day and dogs are close behind! This makes choosing the right pet bed for your furry friend extremely important. With all those hours of cat (or dog) naps, you'll want them to be as comfortable as possible. Different animals have different needs, and no pet bed is a one-size-fits-all design. Here is how to find the right one for Fluffy or Fido.
How to Keep Pet Beds Fresh
They may be cute, but your furry friends can get pretty dirty and smelly without the proper care, and so can the beds they sleep in. Your pets spend a considerable amount of time snoozing away every day, and their beds take the toll. Learn how to deodorize, clean, and help prevent odor in pet beds with these easy tips. After all, a healthy pet is a happy pet.
How to Choose a Pet Bed for an Older Dog
Pamper your older dog with his own dog bed. Pet beds provide your pets with a safe, comfortable place to sleep and rest, which is especially important for older pets. Most dogs love to curl up on a soft bed -- especially if that bed happens to be yours. Climbing in and out of your high bed, however, can cause your old buddy great pain. Coax him off your bed and reward him for his years of loyalty by choosing a high-quality pet bed that will soothe his tired bones during his golden years.
Best Places in Your Home for a Dog Bed
You want to give your dog the best, and a cozy pet bed can make him feel comfortable and loved in your home. Dogs sleep in their pet beds at night as well as for naps throughout the day. Giving him a comfortable bed to relax in is only part of making him feel at home, however. Finding the right spot for your dog's bed is just as important as finding the right bed to start with. You may even need several pet beds throughout your home. Buy a dog bed for each of these places in your home to maximize your canine's comfort.
How to Increase Comfort in a Dog Bed
Your dog may be easy to please, but that doesn't mean she deserves an uncomfortable dog bed. Every pooch should have a cozy dog bed to retreat to when tired. Unfortunately, too many dogs live their lives without a comfortable place to rest. Keep your favorite pets feeling great by giving them a soft, welcoming place to sleep and relax. If you're curious about how you can take the comfort of your dog's pet bed to the next level, try these simple tricks. They should help you learn how to increase comfort in a dog bed to give your pooch a good night's rest.
Best Dog Beds for Small Dogs
Treating your dog to the best means giving him a cozy place to curl up in at night. If you have a small dog, however, finding the right dog bed isn't always easy. Smaller dogs and puppies may get lost in a bed designed for a larger dog, and may not even sleep on it at all. When you're shopping for pet beds for your little dog, you'll want to consider these tips.
How To Make a Dog Bed
Do you want to give your pet something fun to nap on? Then this is the project for you. The vintage fabrics used in this pet bed prove that your dog doesn't have to be dull. This project also uses sturdy upholstery-grade fabric that will stand up to years of use. Once you have the right fabric, scissors and tools, the ease of this construction allows for this project to be finished in only one afternoon.
Top 5 Places to Put Cat Beds
Cats sleep twice as much as humans, and kittens sleep even more. Luckily, cat beds are a great option for cat owners who want to help their kitty get the best rest possible. Like humans, cats need plenty of rest, and disrupted or lack of sleep can be detrimental to your cat's health. Finding the right place to put those pet beds is important. It can be hard to get a cat to curl up in her new kitty bed, but these tips can help you find just the right place for your kitty to sleep.
How to Clean a Large Dog Bed
The biggest pups need a comfortable large dog bed to accommodate their size when nap time rolls around. Large dog beds can be cumbersome, however, especially when you need to clean them. Whether you're cleaning off fur and muddy paw prints or deep urine stains, properly cleaning pet beds can keep you and your furry friend happy and healthy.
How to Introduce Your Pet to a Pet Kennel
Introducing your dog to a kennel or crate can be tricky because some pets do not want to be confined to a small space. Dogs usually acclimate to the den-like environment quickly, but you'll need to start out by showing her that it's a safe environment in order to help her learn to like it. With patience and time, your pet will enjoy, or at least tolerate, periods of time in a kennel. Crates and kennels, if used properly, can provide a place that your dog feels is her own space while also protecting your home from your pet.
How to Clean Foam Mattresses
Foam mattresses can range in design from luxurious and thick memory foam beds to roughly-cut slabs of camping foam. Even some pet beds are made with foam. What all foam mattresses have in common, however, is an ability to absorb liquid at an astonishing rate. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and they often happen on foam mattresses. Take a look below to learn how to clean foam mattresses.
Top 5 Simmons Mattress Models
If you're tired of a lackluster bed, it might be time for a Simmons mattress. One of the oldest mattress companies in the U.S., Simmons Bedding Company has been producing mattresses since 1870. The iconic Beautyrest line of mattresses was introduced in 1925 and has become the base model for all modern Simmons mattresses. The patented pocketed coil design that is a standard on all Beautyrest mattresses ensures you'll get a supportive and plush mattress no matter which model you choose. Whether you're new to the Simmons brand or are looking to replace a well-loved Simmons mattress, keep reading for more information about the top 5 Simmons mattress models.

With a little preparation and the right pet travel supplies, your pets can travel safely and go almost everywhere you can go. Before you plan your next vacation, read these tips to learn how to travel with your pet.
Best Pet Cages for Small Pets
Small animals make great pets, and the right pet cages will keep them safe and sound for your family to enjoy. Whether your family pet is furry, feathered, or scaled, the right pet supplies, including the cage, are important to his health and well-being. Not only do pet cages provide security, but they also create comfortable environments for your pet to thrive in. Your pet's cage is typically the first pet supply you'll buy, so you want to make sure it's right for your pet.
Best Uses for Bean Bag Chairs
Don't limit yourself by thinking of bean bag chairs only as furniture. The best uses for bean bag chairs include everything from sofas and lap desks to back support and pet beds. If it's time to update the look of your home but you're not ready to commit to a whole new furniture set or if you need a way to make your child's room more inviting, then a bean bag might be perfect for you.
Pet Supplies Buying Guide

Show your gratitude to your pets with the best pet supplies. This pet supplies buying guide will help you understand what you need to show the animal companions in your life that they are welcome in your home.
How to Pamper Your Pet this Holiday Season
Don't forget about your pets when you're celebrating the holidays. They deserve just as much love and attention as the rest of your family and friends do. After all, pets listen to you when you need an ear, comfort you when you're down, and keep you company when you're lonely. Show your pets how much you love them by treating them to some great pet supplies and some extra attention.
How to Select Pet Toys
Pets love to have fun, and pet toys are a great way to make sure your pet is enjoying himself as much as possible. They're available for all kinds of animals, from big to small. Your pet will be thrilled with the best pet toys for his size and breed, but the wrong ones can bore your animal and even threaten his health. Fortunately, finding excellent toys for pets isn't difficult at all. With a few considerations, you'll be able to pick the perfect toy for your animal companion.

Several B's skip morning skate, Laraque mouths off |
04.16.09 at 11:07 am ET |
P.J. Axelsson, Mark Recchi, Marc Savard, Michael Ryder and Stephane Yelle were missing from Thursday morning skate at the "for now" TD Banknorth Garden, but all are expected in the lineup. It appears that Claude Julien will be choosing between Blake Wheeler/Byron Bitz and Shane Hnidy/Steve Montador when he fills out the roster for Thursday night's Game One. Obviously no Andrew Ference on the ice as well, so he'll be out for Game One and — most likely — Game Two at the least.
–A great deal of Georges Laraque talk in the Boston dressing room after the skate. The Montreal media attempted to get numerous players to comment on Laraque's interview on a Canadian radio station (CKAC Sports) earlier this week.
Listed below are the Greatest Hits from the man that B's fans affectionately call BGL. It's pretty obvious the Habs are attempting to get into the B's heads and provoke them into crossing over the line and taking penalties in the series. Tons of questions from the Canadian media — who migrated in flocks here with no Ottawa and no Toronto in the playoffs — about whether the B's crossed the line in their last regular season meeting, and if the Canadiens will be able to keep "poking the bear in the cage" to earn PP time in the postseason.
Shawn Thornton wasn't having any of it.
"Maybe it's a game plan (for Montreal), but I don't think it's going to work. I was second on the team in PIMs and I think I can count on one hand the amount of minor penalties I took this year. We're not just a bunch of meat sticks out there," said Thornton. "We're not the Big Bad Bruins that everybody makes us out to be. We can actually play hockey, and that's what we going to do out there: play hockey."
Here's Laraque:
"When we dropped the gloves in Montreal, I fell. I'm out of (Thornton's) league. He's way too small for me. Actually, some of his teammates told me he was shaking in his boots before the game. He really didn't want to face me. If he wants to dance in Boston it will be my pleasure to go with him. I'll make sure the crowd quiets down really fast."
"Of course I'd like to also fight with Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara but I have to be careful. In the playoffs they'll eject you immediately."
"I have never seen a team get roughed-up as badly as the Bruins roughed us up last week. I'm sure that if they play that kind of hockey during the playoffs, guys will get suspended. I understand why they played that way, they didn't want to face us in the first round, they wanted to face the Panthers."
Use this link in order to get a full transalation.
Laraque is expected to be in Boston's lineup tonight, and the tough guy enforcer is obviously there to stir things up and try to provoke players like Thornton, Lucic and Chara.
UPDATE: Montreal GM and coach Bob Gainey alluded to Laraque's presence in the lineup — and the possibility of BGL dropping the gloves — during his Thursday morning pregame comments:
"I think that Georges is an experienced player and he's been in the league a long time," said Gainey. "He understands himself and I think we'd like him to be a positive player for us in a lot of ways. Part of his toolbox contains a big, rough physical player, who can fight. I would expect that he's going to bring a full toolbox with him to the game tonight."
Should be interesting, but don't expect the Bruins skaters to play into the Habs' hands and turn Game One into Fight-fest at the Garden.

The Mission Continues
Hampton Roads, VA (January 20, 2015) – The red kettles are packed away and the Christmas Depot is empty, but the mission for The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command continues.
In an effort to provide to those on the street, The Salvation Army will begin a new mobile feeding initiative on Thursday, January 22. Each week, the unit's canteen will head out to areas of Norfolk to provide food, water, blankets, coats and pastoral care to those in need.
"The Salvation Army's mission is to 'meet human needs without discrimination in Jesus' name,'" states Major Stephen Long of The Salvation Army. "Giving food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, coats and blankets to the cold and hope for tomorrow is the bedrock of our organization. While we do this in our Hope Center on 19th Street, through our Hope Village for woman and children, at Area Command and our Corps Community Centers in the greater Hampton Roads area; it is time to take it to the streets once again. The open door invitation to any of our serving centers continues to meet the needs of thousands of our friends and neighbors; but our street feeding initiative is to bring that hope to those who may have lost their way."
The Salvation Army has a long history of reaching out to those living on the streets. Founder William Booth embarked on his ministerial career in 1852 by preaching to the poor and homeless on the streets of London, abandoning the conventional concept of a church and taking the message to the people.
Each year, The Salvation Army in Hampton Roads provides food, clothing and assistance to over 65,000 people, not just at Christmas, but all year long. Over 1500 men find a warm place to stay at the 19th Street Hope Center in Norfolk each year where over 40,000 meals are served during 12 weekly soup kitchens. By taking the canteen out for this mobile initiative, The Salvation Army can impact more lives and provide comfort to those in need.
To support The Salvation Army in doing the most good in Hampton Roads, please visit SalvationArmyHRVA.org or call (757) 543-8100.
The Salvation Army is on a Mission to
Bring the Most Joy in Hampton Roads this Christmas
Additional distribution times available for families in need
Hampton Roads, VA (December 11, 2014) – Most of Hampton Roads is a buzz with Christmas shopping and planning, but there are many who face the harsh realities of choosing necessities over toys and gifts for their children. This holiday season, The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command will bring hope to local families who desperately need a helping hand.
Thousands of families will be helped during distribution week beginning today, Monday, December 15. "For over 100 years, The Salvation Army has provided food, clothing and other assistance to people in real need in our community at Christmastime and this year is no different," says Major Stephen Long of The Salvation Army.
In order to reach even more families in need this time of year, additional applications will be accepted at The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command (5525 Raby Road, Norfolk):
Wednesday, December 17 1PM – 4PM
Thursday, December 18 1PM – 4PM
Those looking to apply will need to provide the following (additional information available at www.salvationarmyhrva.org/christmasprogram):
•Current Government Issued Picture ID for head of household (applicant);
•Social Security Cards (to avoid duplication) AND Birth Certificates (to determine age) for all children ages 0-11;
•Proof of financial need: food stamps, unemployment income, employment income, etc.;
•Proof of any recent household crisis, if applicable.
Families applying during distribution will receive toys and food only, as Angel Tree applications for clothing are no longer available.
"It is because of our great partnerships with the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots, The Virginian-Pilot Joy Fund and Operation Blessing that we are able to make Christmas a special time for our neighbors in need," says Major Long.
Feeding Thousands on Thanksgiving
The Salvation Army will provide 2400 meals this Thanksgiving
Hampton Roads, VA (November 17, 2014) – This Thanksgiving, The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command will take its annual Thanksgiving feeding program on the road with a mobile initiative.
Over 2400 meals will be provided to families in several Hampton Roads communities via The Salvation Army's canteen and volunteers. The Salvation Army is working with Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority along with other local communities to identify families and people in need this Thanksgiving.
"Because of our annual golf tournament in October and the generous donations of our community, we are able to increase our efforts in providing warm meals to families on the holiday," says Major Stephen Long of The Salvation Army.
The number of families finding themselves in desperate financial situations has continued throughout 2014 and the need for compassionate support from the public is more essential than ever.
"While the economy has started its slow recovery, many families find themselves facing personal tragedies each and every day here in Hampton Roads. We are forever grateful to the kind friends and neighbors who have provided faithful support for those struggling to make ends meet," says Major Long.
The uncertainty of the economy has contributed to a drop in local donations. In fact, some who have supported The Salvation Army in the past have now found themselves at our doors seeking help. The Salvation Army currently serves over 1000 individuals through the food pantry each month.
Many feel forgotten and disheartened as they approach the Thanksgiving season, but The Salvation Army believes the community will once again step forward and help those who need it most. "We've been doing this work for nearly 110 years, so we're not going to turn away any deserving neighbor now," says Major Long. "The Salvation Army plans on doing the most good we can with the gifts we receive to help those in the greatest need in our community. We urge our friends, those whose circumstances will allow, to dig deep this year to spread the spirit of Thanksgiving to those who are facing particularly hard times."

It's the Holiday Season!
The Salvation Army & WVEC-TV 13NewsNow Kick Off the Holidays in a 30-year Partnership!
Hampton Roads, VA (November 3, 2014) – Most of Hampton Roads is recovering from the Halloween sugar rush while The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command prepares to launch the Christmas season.
At noon on Thursday, November 13, The Salvation Army and WVEC-TV 13NewsNow will kick off the 2014 Angel Tree campaign at Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach along with an official Red Kettle Kickoff. The Angel Tree campaign provides children in need with clothing and other apparel for Christmas. Kettle donations assist local families at the holidays, as well as all year long.
Since 1984, WVEC-TV and The Salvation Army have teamed up to provide clothes to thousands of children in Hampton Roads. In 2013, the Angel Tree campaign provided gifts of clothing to over 8,250 children throughout the region. Through all of The Salvation Army's Christmas programs in Hampton Roads, over 21,700 children received toys, clothing and food last year.
"We are embarking on 30 years as partners with WVEC in this effort and the Angel Tree program would not be the success it is without their backing and that of their viewers!" said Major Stephen Long of The Salvation Army.
Angel Tree is an opportunity for the public to "adopt an angel" for Christmas. Individuals should purchase at least two clothing items for their "angel" and return them unwrapped to the location where they picked-up the tag by December 6. Christmas Assistance distribution begins on Monday, December 15 and concludes on Friday, December 19.
Angel Tree was created by The Salvation Army in 1979 by Lt. Colonels Charles and Shirley White when they worked with a Lynchburg, Virginia shopping mall to provide clothing and toys for children at Christmas time. The program got its name because the Whites identified the wishes of local children by writing their gift needs on Hallmark greeting cards that featured pictures of angels. They placed the cards on a Christmas tree at the mall to allow shoppers to select children to help. Thanks to Lt. Cols. White, who were assigned by The Army to the Lynchburg area at the time, more than 700 children had a brighter Christmas that first year.
Each year in Hampton Roads, The Salvation Army displays over 100 kettles across the region to raise funds to support ongoing work. When a volunteer rings a bell, 83 cents of each dollar dropped in a kettle is used to support Salvation Army programs and services in the Hampton Roads community.
The history of The Salvation Army kettles dates back to 1891 in San Francisco when Captain Joseph McFee was distraught over the growing number of hungry individuals in the city. He placed a pot at the Oakland Ferry Landing that collected money to serve the needy at Christmas. By 1901, the kettle program spread to Boston and New York City, providing funds to feed thousands. Today in the U.S., The Salvation Army assists more than four-and-a-half million people during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Public contributions to Salvation Army kettles enable the organization to continue its year-round efforts at helping those who would otherwise be forgotten.
The Salvation Army is grateful for the ongoing support from our partners at WVEC, The Virginian-Pilot Joy Fund, Marine Corps Toys for Tots and Operation Blessing who make our Christmas program a success.

Parents/guardians must apply through The Salvation Army's Social Services Department.
We're teaming up with Happy Day Donuts in Chesapeake to make this day a treat for everyone! Be on the look out for us! Check out the brochure (with a special surprise!) here.
Did You Know… When the United States entered World War I, The Salvation Army was ready to assist. The Salvation Army established a War Board and began programs in US Army camps and canteens across the country. Food and beverages were provided for the soldiers, along with books, writing supplies and opportunities for recreation. Overseas, The Salvation Army workers moved with the American Expeditionary Forces across France making doughnuts, pies, cakes and other home-baked goods for the soldiers.
The soldiers were given a home away from home and had the opportunity to sing, read, write letters and attend church services. The Salvation Army doughnut girls would use the limited rations provided and an open stove to make doughnuts for the soldiers. Only 150 doughnuts were made on first day in 1917 but were an immediate success. Soon, as many as 500 soldiers stood in muck outside the resurrected tent waiting for the sweet taste of doughnuts and before long, 9,000 doughnuts were being made daily.
Along the front lines, the doughnuts became a symbol of The Salvation Army's will to bring a touch of home to the soldiers. A small token of sweetness, it has remained in the public's mind for many years as a symbol of warm friendship and service to those in need.
Did You Know… The Salvation Army celebrated the first National Doughnut Day in 1938 in the city of Chicago as a way to honor Salvation Army "doughnut lassies" from World War I.
Did You Know… Approximately 250 Salvation Army volunteers provided assistance to American soldiers in France starting in 1917 during WWI.
Did You Know…The Salvation Army continues to provide doughnuts, as well as other services to clients who visit Salvation Army programs daily.
