There are so many clever, earth-friendly upcycling projects to do (and so little time!). Among the more dramatic of these projects is replacing a kitchen counter. The upcycled kitchen counters that I am about to discuss fit best into farmhouse-style or rustic-looking houses. Most of them involve some carpentry work or tile work, so if you are inexperienced, either hone your skills before attempting this project, or hire a highly skilled handyman to execute the project for you.
Five DIY Recycled Kitchen Countertop Ideas
The upside of these projects is that they are a fantastic way to make use of large, leftover pieces of lumber. The down side (well, it is not exactly a down side; maybe it is a limitation) is that the look is rustic. If chippy, or shabby chic, are your style, then one of these countertops could complete the look of your vintage-inspired, ecological farmhouse haven.
Now let's rumble.
Upcycled fence board countertop: Blogger Shannon from Fox Hollow Cottage built a countertop from old cedar planks. She painted it chippy turquoise. Her counter is built like a floating shelf, but a similar design and a more resilient, water-tight finish could be employed for a kitchen island countertop.
Pine plank countertop: For a more polished look than the upcycled fence board countertop, consider a pine plank countertop like the one built by Lisa Pennington from The Pennington Point. Lisa built her countertops for $61! Just seal it well.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Virginia Galloway, BA (Rush University Medical Center)
Description: This is a concise, informative exploration of the mental illness crisis in America. The author provides the startling facts of our situation as an impetus for change, then catalogues the necessary steps to change.
Purpose: The aim of the book is simply to answer "Why?" Why do our mental illness problems exist? Why does the established system not work? Why has the crisis gotten worse, instead of better? What can we do? The book is needed because the current situation is depraved, inhumane, and not functional. The book answers these questions and offers a practical outline for change.
Audience: The book is a valuable resource for mental health workers and the families of the mentally ill. The book is informative and pedagogic for anyone endowed with the power to invoke change. The author is learned about the state of America's mental illness crisis and has the clarity of vision and acumen to illustrate a solution.
Features: The illustrations are sufficient, but more would be useful. The references are expansive, almost overwhelming, yet necessary for a complete understanding of the gravity of the mental illness crisis. The table of contents is adequate and the index is superb. The book is attractive. The appendix detailing the magnitude of deinstitutionalization state by state is provocative,
Assessment: This is a palpable exploration of America's mental illness crisis. It humanely describes the privations of our mentally ill and methodically explores the economic, ideological, and legal reasons for such a state. The provided solution to the crisis is viable and informative. This book will provide mental health workers and the families of the mentally ill with insightful knowledge and has the potential to be a catalyst for change, if read by policymakers.

Leap!: What Will We Do with the Rest of Our Lives?by Sara Davidson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Chapter 1
The Long and Winding Road
When I walk through the stage door of the Roseland Ballroom in New York, I hear an unmistakable riff--the long electric piano solo that spirals up and down until it can't go higher or become more intense and then it resolves as Jim Morrison comes in to sing: The time to hesitate is through . . .
Light My Fire by the Doors was the number one song in America in 1967. But onstage at Roseland almost forty years later are Ray Manzarek, the original keyboard player, Robby Krieger, the original guitarist, and between them, replacing Jim Morrison, is Ian Astbury, a singer in his thirties who looks so much like Morrison that the image of the three suggests The Picture of Dorian Gray. Ray and Robby are in their sixties, with silver hair and deeply lined faces, but Jim doesn't seem to have aged--he looks frozen at twenty-seven, the age he was when he died.
The Doors of the Twenty-first Century, as they call themselves tonight, are doing a sound check for a concert celebrating fifty years of rock 'n' roll. Ray stands at the electric piano, wearing a black Issey Miyake shirt with pleats over gray pants. His hair is slicked back, and he's rail thin from lifting weights, swimming, and yoga. I feel juicy, Ray says into the microphone, testing the level. I feel juicy now. I got filth running through my blood, Robby. It's gonna be a dirrrrr-ty night. It's also going to be a loud night, and I make a note to come back later with earplugs and my glasses.
The Doors created and released albums for only four years, 1967 to 1971, but they've been embraced by succeeding generations, and my son has the lyrics to a Doors song on his blog. After Jim's death, Ray kept making music on his own and wrote two books, none of which connected with a mass audience, but that was all right. He hadn't played a Doors song in thirty years when in 2002 the Harley-Davidson company asked the Doors if they would re-form the group to perform at an L.A. concert celebrating Harley's hundredth anniversary. Robby and I said, 'Let's do it ' Ray recalls, but John Densmore, the third living Door, said his ears were too badly damaged to play drums. Their manager brought in another drummer and, to sing, Ian Astbury of the Cult.
Playing for thousands of inflamed Harley-Davidson riders at the California Speedway was so much fun, Ray says, that they went on the road as the Doors of the Twenty-first Century, until a lawsuit forced them to drop the Doors name and perform as Riders on the Storm.
Backstage at Roseland, I ask Ray how he deals with the fact that his most well-loved work was done more than thirty years ago. He waves his hand, dismissive. I tell him I have the same issue on a smaller scale. My first book was a bestseller--it was number two in the country and made into a miniseries. I've written five books since then and hundreds of articles and screenplays, but none has had that impact. I used to feel upset because people would meet me and say--
I know what they tell you, Ray says. You were big once upon a time, and you don't have it anymore. Well, thank you very much, really nice of you to point that out. Have you ever h
Addressing the question "What should I do with the rest of my life?," a study of the baby boom generation looks at the opportunities and pitfalls they confront as they engage in the second half of life, offering portraits of those making voluntary choices, those being forced out of their work, and those enthusiastically using their experience to seek success. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.
Thirty years ago, Sara Davidson wrote the phenomenal bestseller Loose Change, the definitive book about the boomer generation's coming-of-age. Now this witty social observer has again turned her discerning eye to her contemporaries, with Leap!, a no-holds-barred, illuminating, and hopeful look at the choices and challenges we face and the roads open to us.
For many years Davidson earned a living as a successful journalist and screenwriter, but in her fifties she saw her life come apart: She could no longer find work, she endured a break-up with her partner, and her children left for college. For the first time ever, she had nothing to do. She felt adrift, but she found that she was not alone.
In Leap!, Davidson sets out on a passionate quest to learn how to do the coming years well. Drawing on her own experience and that of others, she explores such questions as
• How does a high-powered person learn to walk down the ladder gracefully?
• How can women continue to be sensual and not touch-deprived?
• How do we arrange to grow old with our friends?
• What will be the fire at the center of our lives?
• Why are we still here?
Davidson interviews people from across the country and from all walks of life, including such icons as Carly Simon, Tom Hayden, Tracy Kidder, Jane Fonda, Ram Dass, and Iman, as well as teachers, writers, psychologists, businesspeople, and spiritual leaders. The candid portraits are both inspiring and cautionary.
True to character, boomers will approach these years differently from previous generations, and there will be no single path. Some will feel free for the first time to take risks; others will embark upon a spiritual search; some will want to give back, to make the world a better place; others will want to play or make creativity a priority. But they will not fade quietly into the sunset.
With Leap!, Sara Davidson holds up a mirror for readers, allowing them to see not only themselves and those around them but their potential future. With Davidson as a guide, the possibilities are boundless.

Erin Brockovich Sequel in the Works: Hinkley Still Scene of Crime, PG&E Still Bad Guy
Looks like Pacific Gas & Electric is up to its usual tricks out in Hinkley, handing out swimming-pools worth of bottled water, buying up seemingly useless land in the middle of nowhere and causing horses to drop dead where they stand. Who you gonna call? Only the No. 1 girl power-house on HBO daytime!
The Environmental Working Group dropped an evidence bomb in December:
Chromium-6 levels in Riverside tap water were still the third highest of any city in the U.S. -- and that's not to speak of outlying tumbleweed towns like Hinkley.
The study apparently set OG health lawyer Erin Brockovich's gears to turning. According to the Associated Press, the real-live Brockovich will be attending a real-live Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board meeting out in the desert today, after speaking with the very same Roberta Walker who, in the original lawsuit's movie adaptation, "weeps with joy as she's handed her portion of a historic $333 million settlement between residents of this small desert town and the utility that poisoned their drinking water."
In December, when the new study dropped, Brockovich was already seething:
"It is sometimes difficult to understand why I still have to warn the public about the presence of hexavalent chromium in drinking water 23 years after my colleagues and I first sounded the alarm," said Brockovich. "This report underscores, in fairly stark terms, the health risks that millions of Americans still face because of water contamination."
Walker and family, too attached to desert life to leave completely, moved four miles away from the PG&E plant, thinking that'd be enough to buffer the toxic plume of chromium-6. However -- while PG&E only reports a two-mile plume -- Brockovich and L.A. cohort Bob Bowcock think their new tests show "the contaminated area is twice as big as the utility's estimates."
Which would explain the dead horse.
Even in the safety of Google satellite, this thing makes us cower in fear:
Google Maps
We'll update with Brockovich's big announcement out in the boonies today. As for you, Julia: Break out the push-up bras and Independent Woman run-ons, because it's evil corporation-bashin' time.

P. T. Jyothi Datta
Recently at Warje
At a two-and-a-half hour drive from Central Mumbai, cloaked in silence and greenery, is Cipla's 50-bed palliative care and training centre at Warje, off the Mumbai–Bangalore Bypass Road.
But the over 12-year-old centre still finds only half its beds occupied, though its facilities are free for people requiring palliative care.
Lack of awareness about palliative care services and a mind-set against approaching an institution for pain management are the prime reasons for the centre not seeing more patients, say administrators at the centre and doctors specialising in this approach of providing "total care".
Palliative care seeks to improve the quality of life for not just the patient, but also the family, through pain management, along with psychological, emotional and spiritual support. It comes into the picture from the time an illness, say, cancer, is diagnosed till after death, when the family is helped to cope with the loss, said Dr Priyadarshini Kulkarni, Medical Director with Cipla's palliative care centre.
At any point in time, there are 2.5 million cancer cases in India, and 70 per cent are in an advanced stage, she said. And yet, only 0.4 per cent has access to palliative care in the country, she added.
Patients lack awareness on this approach of care that is, however, popular in developed countries, she said. The medical fraternity too needs to be sensitised on palliative care, she added.
The other problem in palliative care becoming more common is the access to pain medicine such as morphine. There are strict laws relating to transportation, etc., making access difficult, she said.
PIL for policy
In fact, there is a public interest litigation (PIL) at the Supreme Court, filed by the Indian Association of Palliative Care, against the Union Health Ministry and the Centre's Department of Revenue, said Mr M. R. Rajagopal, Chairman of Pallium India, a charitable trust.
The PIL highlights the need for a palliative care policy both at the Centre and in the States; a scheme for implementation and steps to bring it into the medical education system, he said. The litigation also sought easier access to pain medicine morphine, without the dilution of checks against misuse, he added
The Cipla centre has seen more than 6,400 patients, said Cipla's Head of Human Resource, Mr S. V. Iyer. But only one-third of the five- acre plot at Warje has been developed, he said, indicating there is room for expansion if the number of patients increased.
While the centre runs on a unique model involving the patient's family as well, in the last one year, the centre has extended itself to providing home-care to patients in a 40-km radius of the centre, he said.

27-May: Two Andrew's Top Challengers' League
This year's Challengers' League, played between the top 8 available players coming out of the Candidates' Tournament, took place at the Goddard Arms in Swindon on the second May Bank Holiday weekend. Paul Barnard and Nick Wedd kindly officiated the proceedings.
Andrew Kay (the reigning British Champion) won all of his games to lead the field, followed by Andrew Simons who won all of his games except for his game against Andrew Kay. Charles Hibbert, playing in his first Challengers' League, finished with 4 wins in third place. Tim Hunt and Alistair Wall were next, with 3 wins each, followed by Richard Hunter and Harry Fearnley on 2 wins each. James Hutchinson completed the field with one win.
Being the top two players at...
23-May: British Youth Postponed
Unfortunately there was not enough support for the British Youth Go Championship on the date planned (31st May) and we have had to postpone it until the autumn.
The UK Go Challenge Finals (13x13 boards) is going ahead though on Saturday 18th July in Letchworth Garden City. All young players of any level are welcome at that.

Bob Hitchens reports:
I heard at the weekend of the death of Neil Stein.
I realise that members probably do not know Neil, but some players who were around in the 1960s will.
He was a founder member of the BGA and helped create the BGA's first bank balance of any size when he recognised the possibility of compensation from University College London for cancelling our booking for the first European Congress to be held in Britain. That opened up a lot of possibilities for the BGA.

17-May: Des Cann wins Bracknell
Des Cann won the Bracknell Tournament for the first time. This was hopefully good preparation for his trip to the World Amateur in June. Others of the 26 players winning all three games were Roger Daniel (5k London) and David Storkey (7k Exeter). Arundel won the team prize, Francis Roads the 13x13 on a tie break, Jil Segerman the problem-solving competition and Pauline Bailey the caption contest.
13-May: BGJ 171 now available
The Spring 2015 edition of the British Go Journal, number 171, is now available in the members' area as a PDF and should be soon arriving in the post with members (except for electronic only members).
13-May: UK Promoted to European B-League
The UK held on for a draw in their 10th game in the C-League to win promotion to the B-League with one match remaining. Des Cann was the last to finish after a long game against Iceland's Hallbjorn Gudmundsson, but won by 16.5 to tie the match. Earlier Jonathan Gallimore quickly forced Benedikt Birgisson to resign, but Chris Bryant lost by resignation to Thorbergur Olafsson and then Sandy Taylor lost to Olafur Siguroarson by 3.5.
Second placed South Africa only managed a draw too against Lithuania, but Bulgaria beat Portugal to be placed just behind South Africa on boards won tie-break. Also vying for the play-off place are Croatia and Lithuania who are only one match point behind the other two.
05-May: Another German Winner for Bar-Low
Following on for Chris Volk winning it last year, the winner this year was German 3 kyu Tobias Ungerer from Cambridge University, who won 4 out of 5 games. His only loss was to Bogdan Ghica who came second on tie break from Richard Mullens and James Murray.
The tournament was generously sponsored by an anonymous benefactor who wishes to support the Bar-Low as a great way to encourage and benefit developing players and so the winner went home with a prize of £30. The second biggest prize was awarded to young Alex Terry (10k), who also won 4. Bob Dryden had estimated his grade at 10k, but won all his games and generously declined a cash prize. 7 other players won cash prizes, and everyone took home some chocolate.
05-May: Andrew Simons wins Candidates'
Andrew Simons won all his games to win the first stage of the British Championship. The Candidates' Tournament was held this year at The Fulbourn Centre near to Cambridge thanks to organiser Geoff Kaniuk. 24 players played, qualified based on tournament results in the twelve months up to the end of March, though not all played every round.
The qualifiers to join British Champion Andrew Kay in the Challengers' League are:

15-Apr: British Team Wins Again in C-League
The BGA team beat Cyprus by three boards to one to stay top of the C-League. Rivals Bulgaria lost four-nil to third place South Africa, who move up to second three points behind us. With just two matches left, against Iceland and Kazhakstan, it is hoped we can remain top.

31-Mar: Alistair Wall Misses Record by Half Point
Alistair Wall (2d Wanstead) scored a massive 45 points to win the Stacey Grand Prix, the grand prix for most games won in the top group at a year's tournaments. He was awarded the Stacey Trophy at the British Go Congress in Shrewsbury. The British Open is the last event of the grand prix year, but Alistair's 4 points scored there left him half a point short of equalling the record. The record of 45.5 points was set in 1996 by Francis Roads, a player who has been in the top 7 every year bar one (2010).
Ironically the game that really cost Alistair the record was that against Francis at the 2014 Mind Sports...
30-Mar: Junnun Jiang Wins the British Open
The British Open was part of the British Go Congress and it was held this year in the Prince Rupert Hotel in Shrewsbury, over a weekend where the weather was described as "inclement". The whole event was sponsored by Pentangle Puzzles and Games.
The weekend started on the Friday afternoon with tuition by Oh Chi Min (7d), who continued with many game reviews over the weekend.
The British Lightning was held on the Friday evening. 28 players played seven tables of four for rounds 1, 2 and 3, then Swiss-style for rounds 4 and 5, to determine...

18-Mar: UK youth players compete in European youth championships
The UK had six players representing it at the European Youth Championship, held from 12-15 March in Zandvoort am Zee in the Netherlands.
Looking very smart in their UK youth team hoodies, there was a good team spirit. After the first two rounds things were not looking good for the UK, but in the later rounds we did pick up more wins to end with a total of 14 points out of 36.
One of our players had a very exciting finish in the last round. After an epic game, in which her opponent had gone into three sets of overtime, Roella claimed a win by one point – after the additional extra 6 points komi courtesy of Ing overtime rules which give two penalty points per overtime set. With our...

Thanks go to the organisers, including Ian Sharpe and David King.

Welcome to the InterContinental New Orleans. My name is Michael, I am the Chef Concierge, and this is my hometown, so it's a special pleasure to be able to help you discover everything that makes New Orleans one of America's most interesting cities.
A FOUR-DIAMOND TREASURE IN THE CENTRE OF TOWN InterContinental New Orleans enjoys one of the city's most coveted locations: two blocks from the French Quarter, four blocks from Harrah's New Orleans, six blocks from the riverfront and – come Mardi Gras time – a front row spot on the St. Charles Avenue parade route. The Morial Convention Center, Uptown and the Louisiana Superdome are also nearby.
The perfect morning in New Orleans starts with a short stroll down Royal Street for breakfast at Brennan's, a New Orleans tradition. Enjoy a sumptuous Creole breakfast overlooking the lush, tropical courtyard before you check out Royal Street's antique shops and art galleries. There's an eclectic array of fascinating objects for sale to buy or just browse. Then, to get a proper sense of New Orleans' history, visit Jackson Square and the historic buildings surrounding it: St Louis Cathedral, the Cablido, the Presbytyre and the Pontalba Apartments, the oldest apartment buildings in the country. Proceed to the old French Market where you can experience the old world charm of the Farmers' Market and the Flea Market, and then refuel at Cafe du Monde with cafe au lait and beignets, a powdered-sugar covered French doughnut.
Take a ride on the St Charles Streetcar, the oldest continually running streetcar line in the world, and see the magnificent Victorian mansions and oak trees that line the streets of St. Charles Avenue. Make stops throughout the Garden District, New Orleans' oldest American neighborhood, famous for its Antebellum (or pre Civil-War) mansions. Afterwards, settle down for a fantastic lunch at the world-famous Commander's Palace restaurant in the heart of the Garden District.
Enjoy the place to be in New Orleans, and it's a place with a deserved reputation as being one of the wildest in the US of A. Stroll along the world famous Bourbon Street to find a mesmerizing array of jazz clubs, burlesque clubs, restaurants and anything else you might care for. Try your luck at Harrah's Casino, with world-class gaming, live entertainment and delicious dining just steps away from the hotel. And with performances nightly, Preservation Hall is a monument to the preservation and performance of Dixieland jazz. You can go where the locals go and experience Frenchman Street. Also filled with an array of Jazz Clubs and restaurants, this is where we go when we leave work.
Summer in New Orleans can be very hot and humid. We suggest light colored clothes, comfortable shoes and rain gear for those cooling afternoon thundershowers.
New Orleans' tombs are above ground because of the high water table. Most of the city is below sea level.
Louisiana Purchase
The entire Louisiana territory, which doubled the size of the United States in 1803, was sold by France for only $15m.
Napoleonic Code
Louisiana's Law System still abides by the Napoleonic Code.
Comfortable walking shoes
Many of the best attractions in New Orleans are within walking distance. Walking is the most popular mode of transportation. We also recommend Pedi Cabs; the bicyclists offer great transportation at a leisurely pace so you can enjoy the scenery.
US Dollars
Foreign exchange is not available in the hotel and there may be difficulty exchanging money without a bank account.

The South African has played the majority of his rugby at hooker but he in fact began his career as a prop and led the South African U21 side in 1997 as a tighthead.
With the emergence of Bismarck du Plessis, Smit returned to his roots and was capped at prop by the Springboks on a number of occasions in the last two years at the helm of the team.
The presence of Schalk Brits and Jamie George at Sarries means that the club are well stocked at No 2 and as a result Smit may find himself running out at prop more often than not, a job he did over the weekend when loosehead Rhys GIll was forced off the field.
McCall insists he has no hesitations about playing Smit at prop.
"John's played international rugby at prop," explained McCall.
"We're in the fortunate position that we've got somebody like him who has the calibre to play hooker or loosehead.
"I thought he did very well when he came on to the pitch. For us to be able to bring experience like Carlos Nieto and John on to the pitch was great."

European route E66
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Route information
|650 km (400 mi)
|Italy, Austria, Hungary
|Highway system
|International E-road network
European route E 66 is a part of the inter-European road system. This Class A intermediate west-east route is 650 kilometres (404 mi) long and it connects the Alps with the Pannonian plain.
The E 66 routes through three European countries:
- Italy
- SS49: Franzensfeste - Innichen - Winnebach
- Austria
- Route 100: Ambach - Lienz - Spittal an der Drau
- Tauern Autobahn: Spittal an der Drau - Villach
- Südautobahn: Villach - Klagenfurt - Graz - Fürstenfeld
- Route 65: Fürstenfeld - Heiligenkreuz im Lafnitztal
- Hungary
- Route 8 (M8): Rábafüzes/Szentgotthárd - Veszprém - Székesfehérvár
Hungary requested in October 2011 that E66 should be extended from Székesfehérvár via Dunaújváros - Kecskemét to Szolnok. The expectation is that this will be valid and signposted in 2013 or 2014.[1]

Why The Iginla/Phaneuf Fight Was Stopped Before It Started
by Paul on 10/16/14 at 01:09 PM ET
Comments (3)
from Kerry Fraser of TSN,
Given the climate within the game that has evolved over the past number of seasons there is heightened awareness and sensitivity to player safety issues. Ongoing studies conducted by both NHL and independent medical experts provide scientific evidence and newfound knowledge that is slowly changing attitudes and redefining acceptable practices and behavior.
This is being addressed in part, with the addition of new rules relative to protective equipment. Last season visors became mandatory for any player with fewer than 25 games of NHL experience (rule 9.7). In addition, no player is allowed to remove his helmet prior to engaging in a fight. If he does so, a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct will be assessed under rule 46.6.
You witnessed a continuation of the player safety theme on Tuesday night when Linesmen Scott Driscoll and Greg Devorski demonstrated their good judgment and quick response to intervene in an altercation before it escalated to full-blown fisticuffs.

Which Rule To Follow?
by Paul on 10/15/14 at 03:21 PM ET
Comments (7)
from Kerry Fraser of TSN,
Assuming the on-ice officials determined O'Reilly contacted the puck above the crossbar but below his shoulders the puck is eligible to be played by any player. We know that the puck did not enter the net directly off the stick of Ryan O'Reilly but instead glanced off Bruins goalie, Niklas Svedberg and then deflected into the net off the leg and skate of Dennis Everberg. Since there was no distinct kicking motion by Everberg, logic and common sense would indicate that this should be a good hockey goal.
Bill, this is where your question has exposed the contradiction!
Rule 80.3: When an attacking player causes the puck to enter the opponent's goal by contacting the puck above the height of the crossbar, either directly or deflected off any player or official, the goal shall not be allowed (This translates that the subsequent deflection of the puck off the leg and/or skate of Everberg should still result in no goal).
Only to be contradicted by Rule 78.4: If an attacking player has the puck deflect into the net, off his skate or body, in any manner, the goal shall be allowed. The player who deflected the puck shall be credited with the goal...

Afternoon Line - Brad Marchand
by Paul on 10/11/14 at 01:47 PM ET
Comments (2)
"I think the new rule is a little absurd. It's all a judgment call by the referee. How do you judge how guys are on their balance, how they're on their skates? What if they're on one foot and on their turn a guy gets pushed? Does that mean that he has embellished?
"The fact that guys are going to start getting fined for it, I don't agree with that. It's all the discretion of the referee and you've got to try to play within the rules. We're going to try to find that line, but at end of the day, it's up to the referees with what they want to call, and you've got to live with it."

Kerry Fraser On The Helmet Cam
by Paul on 10/09/14 at 01:46 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Kerry Fraser of TSN,
The ref helmet cam is another piece of modern technology that provides a useful purpose within the game and I am pleased that it is being utilized. This camera shot not only enhances the television broadcast by taking the viewer directly onto the ice with sight and sound, but more specifically to gain a unique sightline on a play that is potentially shared by the referee. I offer the caveat "potentially" because while the helmet might be directed toward an area of the action it does not necessarily mean that the referee's eyes are 'lasered' into a specific location or segment of the play. Some of you might be rolling your eyes in disbelief at this suggestion but that is exactly what I'm talking about. Your head might not have moved as you rolled your eyes but I guarantee your focus of vision and attention most certainly would have changed.
A practical example how this might occur is during a scramble in the goal crease or as players crash the net. In this scenario the referee would drive toward the net along or preferably slightly ahead of the goal line from the corner to gain the best sightline on what might develop inside the crease. His various objectives would be to locate the puck and ascertain if it is playable; frozen; covered illegally by a defending player in the goal crease resulting in a penalty shot; goalkeeper interference or if another foul were to occur; and finally if the puck were to enter the net legally.
If you missed some of the video of the helmet cam in action, I did a post on it earlier today.

Paul Stewart On Opening Night
by Paul on 10/08/14 at 01:23 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Paul Stewart at The Huffington Post,
Tonight is opening night of the NHL regular season. For some guys, it will be the long-awaited night they make their NHL debut. That wasn't the case for me. My personal "opening night" as an NHL player came on Thanksgiving of 1979. I made my NHL refereeing debut on March 27, 1986.
Every player, coach and referee who has ever appeared in the NHL has his own story to tell about his first game in the League. The tale of my first game reffing in the NHL is an unconventional one. That's par for the course with me. For whatever reason, nothing major in my life ever seems to happen the "normal" way.
Both my NHL playing and refereeing debuts were made in my hometown of Boston. That was a special kind of thrill.
After my playing days ended, I enrolled in Bruce Hood's referee training school in 1983. I worked my way up the ladder over over the next three years. The first NHL game I worked was in my hometown of Boston, but it wasn't a game I was assigned beforehand to referee.

Expanded video review capabilities under Rule 38 will allow a broader discretion to Hockey Operations to determine the legitimacy of all potential goals and can include forward motion of the puck toward the goal line during a penalty shot or shootout. The process should now provide more acceptable legal parameters for the shooter to operate under, pitted against the ability of the goalkeeper to defend.

Report- New Contract For NHL Officials Is Close
by Paul on 10/08/14 at 10:44 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Ken Campbell of The Hockey News,
The NHL's track record with negotiating contracts with its players without locking them out over the past decade has been horrendous. Thankfully, that hasn't been the case with its on-ice officials. There hasn't been a work stoppage with referees and linesemen since Doughnut-gate with Don Koharski in 1988 and there will not be one this season.
When the league opens the season with four games tonight, it will do so with labor harmony with it's on-ice officials. Not that there was ever any doubt. For the past couple of months the league has been negotiating with its officials for a new deal and the talks were cordial and in good faith on both sides. And with the league and NHL Officials' Association on the verge of signing a five-year deal, it is on the cusp of being official.
Even if it is not done in time for tonight, there was never any thought the officials would withhold their services for the regular season. All of them showed up for training camp and worked the pre-season games, largely because most of the issues had been settled by then.

The GoPro As A Training Tool

from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of Yahoo,
The NHL put GoPro cameras on the front of officials' helmets to record that perspective twice last preseason (both in Toronto) and twice this preseason (in Buffalo and Detroit). It wasn't for promotional purposes. It was for internal training.
The officials don't like wearing the cameras – mounted with adhesive, blacked out with gaffer tape. But the cutting-edge footage is for education and improvement.
"You never really know what you're going to get from it," said Tom Masters, video manager, NHL officiating. "But hopefully there's some teachable moments in there you can use going forward."

Protesters egg anti-riot cops, burn Aquino effigy
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Protesters burned an effigy of President Benigno Aquino III and egged anti-riot police to mark Monday's opening of the 16th Congress where Aquino is expected to deliver his 4th State of the Nation Address later in the day.
Led by the Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) in Southern Tagalog, the militants hurled eggs at a police blockade near Ever Gotesco in Commonwealth after burning an effigy of Aquino.
The eggs are supposed to symbolize Aquino's "failing grade" of his three-year leadership, the militants said.
Police, who were in their full anti- riot gear, were told to exercise maximum tolerance.
Police estimate the number of protesters to be about 400 but expects this to swell to a thousand in the afternoon.
The effigy, dubbed as "Pison," is supposed to depict "a machinery constructed and controlled by Uncle Sam that drives over and kills innocent civilians in its way."
"Aquino's character as the primary subservient to US imperialist powers in the Asia Pacific region has alreadt been exposed. What the people need to do is to unite and fight against this oppressive system. Only through people's collective actions can hope for a better future flourish," said Mark Adrienne Ng, spokesperson of Bayan in Southern Tagalog.
Militants slammed the government's program such as public-private partnership and the Internal Security Plan Bayanihan,among others.
"Aquino has proven that his so-called straight path is actually a straight path to death, with policies that target the destruction of the livelihood, homes and even the lives of the urban poor," Ng said.
Protesters started their program as early as 6 a.m. on a makeshift stage.
Another effigy will be burned by the same time Aquino delivers his speech at the Batasan Complex.

CFB AM: Notre Dame DE shares letter he wrote to inspire himself
JUL 22, 2014 9:00a ET
Have you heard of Jonathan Bonner?
If you root for Notre Dame, you probably have. Bonner is a three-star defensive end in the Class of 2014 who enrolled in classes this summer.
If your allegiance doesn't rest in South Bend, there's a solid chance you don't know much about the kid. Well, everything you need to know exists in an old letter.
When Bonner was in eighth grade, he wrote a letter to himself that he would open before going off to college four years later. Recently, it came time to reflect on what he wrote and see if his original vision is unfolding like he planned.
Here's the letter in full – it's fantastic.
Dear self,
This is you from eighth grade. I hope you're doing okay. Off to college, huh? You better be. Think about how much freedom you'll have. You've grown up and now you're off on your own. You have a lot to look forward to.
It's almost the end of your eighth grade school year. Right now you were looking forward to summer, high school, and the biggest thing, football. You need to get either that TE or DE position. Did you get it? Right now what you don't what being a freshman will be like but you are anxious. Hopefully you played hard enough to go off to Notre Dame. If not, you better at least be going off to college.
In college there are some things you must avoid. First off, stay away from drugs and alcohol. If you have touched a drug I consider you a failure and you better change now or you are wasting your life. Same thing with alcohol, it will make you do stupid stuff and you will end up in bad situations. Second, stay away from knuckleheads (words from mom). They will get you into trouble. Finally, try to stay away from weapons. The only reason you should be using one is if you are going off into the army or you are in physical threat. DON'T LOOK FOR REVENGE! Use your hands if necessary. This should also be a last resort.
Here are some things you need to work hard at. First and most importantly, school. You will not get anywhere without it. Second off, work hard at football so, you can get yourself off to the NFL and make some money. You must also be respectful and responsibility to others and they will do the same to you. Your main goal is just to succeed.
Someone you need to be nice to is your sister. At this age in eighth grade she means everything to you and if you have lost her, you have lost yourself. You need her almost as much as you need yourself. She has been there for everything and your entire life so don't even try to bail on her. Who knows? You may need her someday.
As you should see you have grown and you have a lot of life left. Make it worthwhile and don't screw up.
Yours Literally,
Jonathan Bonner
Bonner posted this letter on Twitter in May, and it resurfaced on the Internet this past weekend.
The Bonners should be proud; what an impressive son they raised. Go get 'em in South Bend, Jonathan.
(h/t Bleacher Report)
1. Day 1 of Big 12 Media Days in Dallas brought fireworks of various degrees. First, commissioner Bob Bowlsby addressed the media and blasted the NCAA enforcement system. "Cheating pays," Bowlsby said. Then, after the Big 12 made a fuss that leagues like the ACC and SEC don't play nine league games, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher called it ridiculous the Big 12 doesn't play a league title game, to which Baylor's Art Briles said, "He needs to worry about the ACC. Don't come to Texas telling me how to do my business."
Was any actual football talked about? Yes, but nothing of significance (coaches aren't giving away much about their teams now, anyway), and so we're left with Briles' bold words and Bowlsby's incredibly bleak outlook on the future of college sports dominating the day.
2. How about Day 2 of ACC Media Days then? More of the same! This time, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney – one of the sport's best talkers – took the stage and settled some scores. Maryland coach Randy Edsall, formerly of the ACC, said he's excited about joining the Big Ten because he'd finally be in a "football conference." Swinney wasn't having that. "We just beat Ohio State [in the 2013 Orange Bowl]," he said Monday. "Aren't they in that conference?"
Then Swinney was asked about his relationship with South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. "He's from Pluto and I'm from Mars," Swinney joked. It's all in good fun; Swinney has great respect for Spurrier. On a more football-related note, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher also spoke and discussed rebuilding the Seminoles to defend their national championship.
3. The Big 12 Media Days wrap up in Dallas today. Taking their turns at the mic: Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Iowa State's Paul Rhoads, West Virginia's Dana Holgorsen, Kansas State's Bill Snyder and Texas' Charlie Strong.
1. The Big 12 unveiled a new PSA at Big 12 Media Days, which included coaches morphing into each other. And, well, this produced a really awkward moment involving Kliff Kingsbury and Charlie Weis.
2. Texas A&M ranked 109th in total defense last season, so improving that unit is probably even more important than figuring out who will take over long-term for QB Johnny Manziel. On Monday, Texas A&M lost two more players off that defense – one who left the team to attend to personal issues, another who was suspended – after two others were booted for disciplinary reasons earlier this spring. Not good.
3. Isaac Kolstad, the victim in the alleged Phillip Nelson assault case, is making progress in his rehab but still has a long ways to go for a full recovery. He and his family could use your good thoughts.
1. This might be the coolest story from Monday's Media Days. Briles was discussing how Baylor QB Bryce Petty is well known nationally this year after having a huge 2013 and leading Baylor to the Fiesta Bowl. He said even those at a Dairy Queen in Salem, Oregon, know who Petty is now. Well, there happen to be six Dairy Queens in the Salem area, and a radio station called all of them. None of them had heard of Petty (listen to the three minutes of audio – it's terrific). This made it back to the Baylor social media guys, who had a little fun with Petty on Instagram. Take a look:
Who knew Petty and Salem, Oregon, Dairy Queens would form this special bond? Media Days are the best.
2. Aaron Brenner notes three rule changes to keep in mind this season. Take a peak, because you're bound to get pissed at least 10 times due to one of these (probably the one relating to QB hits).
3. On Monday, Alabama coach Nick Saban held up his end of a deal that awarded a non-football scholarship to a former Tide football recruit who can no longer play after suffering a neck injury during his senior high school season. Speaking of Saban, Alabama journalism instructor and former Sports Illustrated vet Lars Anderson writes about Saban and The Process. This is an example of the perfect match between writer and subject (Anderson has spent a ton of time around Alabama reporting a book due out soon, so he knows the community and program better than most).
* Baylor defensive end Shawn Oakman had a day in front of the mic on Monday.
On the Crimson Tide: "You realize if it's not the national championship, Alabama don't even care who they play." Oh.
On life: "Life's not fair. Life's not fair at all, you know? To live is to struggle. To survive is to find meaning in the struggle." Preach, Oakman.
* SI's Lindsay Schnell writes about how Oakman and Baylor's defense are trying to create more of an identity for themselves this season.
* Ex-LSU and current Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger was reportedly sucker-punched by an Alabama fan in a bar called "Losers" after a friend of that fan yelled, "Roll Tide!" What in the world is going on?

Final Score: Boston 95, Sacramento 92
Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Paul Pierce scored 17 points and Rasheed Wallace provided a bench spark with 17 points as well in Boston's 95-92 victory over Sacramento.
Ray Allen scored 15 points and Eddie House added 12 for Boston, which snapped a two-game skid despite shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor and getting a pedestrian nine-point, nine-rebound effort from Kevin Garnett.
"I thought our starters were able to get into a nice groove, first game back from the break," Garnett said. "It's one of the most difficult, but I thought it was a team effort tonight."
Omri Casspi led Sacramento with 19 points, Tyreke Evans added 17 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists and Jason Thompson notched a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds off the bench for Sacramento, which saw its two-game winning streak end thanks in part to a 2-of-10 effort from the charity stripe in the tightly-contested fourth quarter.
"I thought they played with great intensity and we did too. It was a playoff atmosphere out there. It was such a great effort by our guys. It hurts, but I'm proud of the progress," said Kings head coach Paul Westphal.
Trailing 76-69 entering the fourth period, Sacramento went on an extended burst to eventually take the lead around the four-minute mark. Casspi's trey woke up the home fans and capped a 16-8 stretch to hand the Kings an 85-84 lead. Pierce responded with a jumper, but Thompson answered on the other end for an 87-86 game with 2:42 on the clock.
Pierce, the Three-Point Champion during All-Star weekend, drained a 26-foot bomb to push the Celtics back in front by two with 1:47 to play. Wallace calmly sank two free throws with 15.4 seconds left after the Kings missed four free throws of their own to push the margin out to 91-87.
Evans refused to let the Kings go quietly into the night, draining a long trey for a one-point game. Again, and unlike Sacramento, Boston capitalized from the charity stripe, as Allen calmly sank a pair of free throws with 5.6 seconds to play. Boston fouled instead of letting the Kings get off a three- point attempt, and Casspi cut the deficit to one with two free throws with 4.2 seconds remaining.
The trips to the free-throw line continued with two Pierce makes with 2.4 seconds left, and again the Celtics fouled. This time Casspi missed the crucial first attempt then missed the second as well with seven-tenths of a second left. Sacramento got the rebound but could get off just a short jumper before the horn.
The Kings led by as many as seven at 17-10 on a Casspi trey in the first stanza, but Boston worked its way back to a 30-30 stalemate after 12 minutes of game action. Casspi scored 10 in the period as each team made over 50 percent of its shots.
Boston tallied 10 points in succession capped by House's deep three for a 47-37 edge just over midway through the second. The lead grew as high as 11, but the Kings trimmed the deficit to five at 57-52 at the half. Both teams cooled off considerably in the second stanza with the Kings hitting on just 30.4 percent from the floor.
The margin stayed relatively fluid throughout the third and Boston took a seven-point edge at 76-69 into the fourth period. Again, both teams didn't find the mark in the third quarter, with Boston making just 27.8 percent of its shots and the Kings finding the bottom of the net just 26.3 percent of the time.
Game Notes
Pierce made 2-of-4 from beyond the arc...The Celtics made all seven of their free-throw attempts in the final period...Sacramento made 9-of-20 from beyond the arc...Boston has won five straight in the series.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Don't Use Pearl Paper
Great service with great designs. I would not recommend the pearl paper. When the invites arrived they came with a warning that stickers don't stick well to that paper. We also discovered the hard way that you can't print on the envelopes, at least not with an ink jet printer. We had to go buy plain ones and hope to return the others.
Excellent quality
The cards are not only beautiful but excellent quality. I went with the pearl paper and is very shiny and fine. The invitations were very well packed and protected. The website was very easy to use and it was easy to place the order and approve it. The only kind of complain is that it takes too long. It took two weeks to get the invitations and now I want some bands to tie them and those that don't have text or anything may take the same two weeks!!!! I am crossing my fingers that it is less. I didn't though about them initially and those are key to keep the card close. The stikers are not strong enought.
Quality was excellent, shipping was quick. I couldn't ask for anything more :) Having the ability to change the colours for the design or text as needed to fit our wedding was a nice touch.
Sweetly Devine!
I used Magnetstreet to purchase my save the dates, and I was very pleased with the results. I was nervous about ordering my wedding invitations online though beause there was so much I would need. We narrowed down the designs we liked, and I requested samples. Within a few days, I had an assortment of invitations, lables, designs, color swatches, etc. I really appreciated that! We made our decision. We choose Birds in Bloom and were able to put the directions on the back of the gate fold. The quality is perfect and the invitations are simple yet classy and inviting. They are just sweetly devine! I am thrilled and so pleased!
Great Company
I love this company. You can personalize pretty much everything and the options are great. They make sure your pictures are a good quality before they print and they even proof read my invites and caught a mistake that my fiance and i had not noticed!!! They are helpful as well if you call with any questions and the order shipped to us quickly. Would Definitely recommend them to my friends.

The UK Air Accident Investigation Branch has released initial information about the Eurocopter Super Puma AS332L2 accident off Sumburgh, in the Shetland Isles, Scotland.
The statement does not venture any explanations for the crash. It says: "Preliminary information indicates that the approach proceeded normally until approximately three miles [4.8km] from the runway, when there was a reduction in airspeed accompanied by an increased rate of descent. The helicopter struck the sea approximately two miles west of the runway 09 threshold."
This happened, said the report, at 18:20 local time on 23 August 2013. Four of the 18 occupants lost their lives. But the agency adds: "At this early stage it is not possible to identify the causal factors leading to the accident."
It says: "The evidence currently available suggests that the helicopter was intact and upright when it entered the water. It then rapidly inverted and drifted northwards towards Garths Ness.
"The helicopter was largely broken up by repeated contact with the rocky shoreline. Some items of wreckage have already been recovered and will be transported to the AAIB's HQ in Farnborough," it says.
It initially struggled to find the combined cockpit voice and flight data recorder but later located the device which has been recovered and sent to its Farnborough headquarters for analysis.
