Tampa Bay Lightning
Blair JonesSubmitted by Ken on November 22, 2006 - 22:30
Back at the prospects tryout camp I rated him as one of two forwards that really wanted it. Because of that I thought he was the organizations best forward prospect overall from that camp (I think Smolenak & Hrdel are perhaps more physically gifted).
Tonight against the Turd's I think he's proving just how much he wants it. On what's supposed to be a cup of coffee, he's going to make it damn tough to send him back if he keeps making the contribution he made tonight. I'm hoping this is actually a tryout to see if he's got enough to flip Feds/Prospal + Affy/Karllson and maybe a D'man for one of the bigger name D'men being rumored as available.

NHL Game Night 11/20: Lightning at SabresSubmitted by pete on November 20, 2006 - 21:57
Kind of glad I skipped watching this one.
Marc Denis allowed all 7 goals on the 13 shots he faced in the second period and faced 29 shots overall. Martin St. Louis scored both Lightning goals. Sarich, Prospal, Ranger and Lecavalier all had assists. Let the trade rumors recommence.
First Period

Hoek notes Blair Jones' first NHL game might've been a good reason to watch this one. Jones played 9:10 and was -1 with 1 shot and was 25% on draws. Uh, I think I'm still glad i skipped the 7 goal second period. Congratulations to Jones though. He's played well to move up to the first line in Springfield and he's earned the recall.

NHL Game Night 11/19: Lightning at RangersSubmitted by pete on November 19, 2006 - 22:00
Next time Tortorella gets thrown out of the game for criticizing the referee, I hope he gets his money's worth.
Johan Holmqvist stopped 30 of 34 shots faced in the loss. Eric Perrin scored the lone Lightning goal off assists from Kuba and Holmqvist.
Let me be clear about this: the Lightning didn't deserve any points out of tonight's game. They played dispassionate hockey and were outskated from start to finish. However, it would be impossible to write up this game without mentioning that the league's biased enforcement of video replay from on high in the league offices in Toronto reared its ugly head once again, twice. The first on a play where a Brendan Shanahan tip on a puck looked like it was with a high stick that resulted in the Rangers' second goal and the second on a play where an Eric Perrin goal which was ruled good by the on ice officials was overturned for kicking the puck into the net. Now, you can sit here and microanalyze each play, but when you look at the bigger picture it becomes clear every time the Lightning have a game against a big market, northern opponent the call is going against them. It's obvious. So obvious, in fact, Lightning beat writer Erik Erlendsson documented the phenomenon on his blog earlier this year with several historical examples of the double standard in video judging that has always existed for the Lightning.
The most blatent case came earlier this year when 6'9" Zdeno Chara batted a puck off his stick at his eye level (the crossbar is, of course, at 4' off the ice) and somehow, mystically, the league office created a baloney explanation for why the resulting goal counted. Tonight's cases weren't as clear cut, but they did nothing to dispell the notion that yes indeed, the video replay process is rigged, which was only made worse by a phantom hooking call on Eric Perrin which resulted in the Rangers' third goal on the power play. If I thought Gary Bettman had an ounce of integrity, I'd be calling for someone in Toronto to be fired. But with Bettman, why waste the keyboard strokes? Instead, I wish John Tortorella would've thrown more of a fit after the wave off when he was thrown out of the game. Then, maybe, just maybe, the national media attention that would've been generated might've cast some disinfecting sunlight on the festering stink we all smell coming down from Toronto.
First Period
NY Rangers 1:43, Jaromir Jagr 9 (Karel Rachunek, Michael Nylander)
Second Period
NY Rangers 2:50, Michael Nylander 8 (power play) (Brendan Shanahan, Martin Straka)

NHL Game Night 11/17: Islanders at LightningSubmitted by pete on November 17, 2006 - 23:10
Holy Holmqvist!
Johan Holmqvist stopped 29 of 31 shots faced in regulation/overtime before stopping 7 of 7 penalty shots in the shootout to outduel Rick Dipietro. Holmqvist is a perfect 5-0-0 in his last 5 starts and is now 5-2-0 on the season. Nikita Alexeev and Brad Richards had the Lightning's goals in regulation, but it took Dimitry Afanasenkov's shootout goal to secure the second point. Vincent Lecavalier had 2 assists and Filip Kuba chipped in an individual helper. Richards and Lecavalier were first and third stars of the game respectively. Holmer was robbed.
First Period
Tampa Bay 2:32, Nikita Alexeev 7 (Vincent Lecavalier)
Tampa Bay 5:08, Brad Richards 6 (power play) (Vincent Lecavalier, Filip Kuba)
NY Islanders 8:00, Radek Martinek 1 (unassisted)
Second Period
NY Islanders 19:21, Mike York 5 (Viktor Kozlov)
Third Period
NY Islanders NONE
Tampa Bay Dimitry Afanasenkov
Doug Janik was +1 in 8:25 with 1 shot on goal. Eric Perrin was -1 in 13:01 with 3 shots and 1 hit and he was 4/4 on draws. Nick Tarnasky received just 2 shifts in the game for 54 seconds of ice time with 1 hit with Tim Taylor out due to injury. The Lightning continue to follow the policy that they just won't give Tarnasky ice time unless it is the third period of a blowout.

NHL Game Night 11/15: Canadiens at LightningSubmitted by pete on November 15, 2006 - 22:22
Huet was just the better goaltender tonight.
Marc Denis allowed 3 goals on 28 shots in the loss. Vaclav Prospal had the lone Lightning goal off assists from Cory Sarich and Brad Richards. The game's back breaking moment came when, on a Montreal power play with the Lightning down 2-1, two Canadiens collided in the Montreal zone allowing Brad Richards to walk in on a short handed breakaway which he failed to convert. Moments later Guillaume Latendresse nailed the coffin shut for the Lightning with a quick shot off a toe drag move on the left wing.
Certainly no need to panic. The Lightning outshot and outchanced the Canadiens throughout the game. There will always be a handful of nights throughout the season when the other team's netminder stands on his head. This was one of those.
First Period
Montreal 2:35, Sheldon Souray 7 (power play) (Saku Koivu, Mark Streit)
Second Period
Tampa Bay 7:22, Vaclav Prospal 3 (Cory Sarich, Brad Richards)
Montreal 15:12, Sheldon Souray 8 (power play) (Andrei Markov, Michael Ryder)
Third Period
Montreal 9:24, Guillaume Latendresse 4 (power play) (Sergei Samsonov, Alexei Kovalev)
Doug Janik had 1 hit in 6:49 of ice time. Eric Perrin had 1 shot and 1 hit in 13:40 and was 0/1 on draws. Nick Tarnasky was again a scratch.

My sister is a new rider
(about 8 months)
on a Ninja 500. Recently she asking me about the skills required to "lay it down". Seems a new friend
(a Harley riding acquaintance)
had mentioned to her that she needed to learn how to do that kind of thing.
(My dad explained this to me when I was a new, very young rider as well)
Later she also added that her friend was giving her that advice from a hospital bed. He had been on or near a freeway exit ramp and noticed a car headed for the same ramp at a much higher speed, and closing from the rear.
(I don't know how he realized all this while it was happening behind him- and the story details seem to change a little with each telling)
. So anyway, the guy lays it down to avoid the car
coming from behind him
, slides into the concrete retaining wall, mangles his bike, and is hospitalized with several broken
I asked her about the car, and she said since it wasn't actually involved in the accident at any point, it drove on by and kept on going. That was when I pointed out to my sister that
the guy had purposely crashed his bike in order to avoid what "
" become a crash, and
that he created his very own single-vehicle accident, all on his own, complete with injuries and destruction to his bike.
She was amazed as I explained to her that the idea is to
going down, not to purposely initiate a crash as a "safety" feature. She was sure that this mature, seemingly intelligent friend knew something that I didn't, but she's smart, and I could see the light bulb turning on in her head as she began to comprehend the logic of what I was explaining to her. I went on to explain the many different options that an upright motorcycle has- braking, turning, accelerating, pulling over and stopping altogether, and how few options a sliding bike and rider have.
I have been in 2 or 3 situations where I absolutely
I was going to crash- no two ways about it, but still somehow managed to ride it out, work around an imminent crash, and avoid it by the grace of God or tremendous amounts of good luck- your choice, YMMV.
I have had several good laughs at myself during this thread. When I was a young man I had a few incidents of cars pulling out right in front of me(green 305 Dream) and I couldn't stop in time. I am sure whenever I told the stories I said I had to lay 'er down. It went down on the left side both times. I thought I was demonstrating decisiveness and courage. The brakes on that bike were really lame. Speed was 35mph. I was a mile and a half into a 3,200 mile trip to AZ the last time I went down.I kept going of course.
In 1985 my wife was studying for her motorcycle test and asked me about something in the VT DMV manual: countersteering. Hmm. A real head scratcher. Then it came up in a motorcycle magazine I had subscribed to and I could explain it to her, and I listened too. In a short time I noticed that my scooter (by then I had my old German scooter in my avatar) felt different to operate, I seemed to be living in the handlebars, steering with my shoulders instead of my ass.
Around 1988, I was on my way to Burlington riding VT US Route 2 north toward Jonesville , a well known curve that comes right before the famous Harbor Vintage Motorcycle shop, at 55 mph in a suddenly 40 mph zone. I liked taking this corner fast. Today however there was a long haired guy in a black Saab 99 on the side road on the right who seemed to be watching me intently. He pulled out suddenly, when I was too close. I knew I was going to hit him, but I aimed for the back of his car. I remember the rear tire of my scooter was badly worn and I was waiting for a new one. I know the scooter swerved right, it must have then swerved left next, because I didn't lay 'er down! I ended up on the right shoulder,Pointed north, on two wheels, upright, breathing hard, amazed at what had occurred. I had avoided a collision with a car on a 1960 motor scooter that I would have wiped out on with my motorcycle years earlier! I just sat there for a few seconds before the vintage bike place wondering what I had done right.

If the trans is having issues, just dial back your boost until there is a fix, saying that the single kits were released too early because of a trans issue that everyone was well aware of is non sense, especially if the same problems can be found on twin turbo'd cars.
You hit the nail on the head, the problem is, people are blaming the power adders, instead of the platform itself.
It's not RB's fault, or Vishnu's fault if the platform can't handle the power.
People should realize with this much power on a car designed for 300 HP, there will be sacrifices, and things that will need to be upgraded.
If people have not got that in there head by now, they have not been realistic.
Did people really expect a stock AT tranny to hold 500WHP+ or similar torque?
If the car can't run 10's cause its spinng every gear, is the turbo kit at fault? No
If the tranny is over-heating or can't support the power, is it the turbo kit at fault? No
If someone can't drive at a air strip attack, is the turbo kit at fault? No
A car I had way back when had a supercharger kit. I was expected to run out of the box 12's. Guess what? I couldnt break out of 13's. I kept spinning tire and wheel hopping, I didn't blame the supercharger though.
The platform needed improvements. It was not the superchargers fault I spun tire into 3rd, my tires sucked. It was not the superchargers fault I wheel hopped, it was the poor suspension geometry and the need for upgraded bushings in the suspension.
See where I'm going with this. People confuse poor results with a bad kit, the turbo and kit in itself is sound, is my point, just like my supecharger kit was sound. One should expect certain sacrifices and improvements to fully succeed in upgrades like this.

The historical places of Jamaica can be any traveler's dream as they give you an overview of the historical happenings of the country, its historical monuments and structures telling a story of their own. With its famous landmarks and popular historical places, Jamaica has lots to offer to its tourists.
The most important historical places of Jamaica are:
Bob Marley Museum
Rose Hall Great House
Columbus Park
The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica is dedicated to the reggae musician Bob Marley or Robert Nesta Marley. Located at 56 Hope Road, Kingston 6 it's the former place of residence of Marley. Also home to the Tuff Gong record label which was founded by The Wailers in 1970, it's one of the famous Jamaica's historical places of visits especially by thousands of Bob Marley fans. It was also the site of a failed assassination attempt on Bob Marley in the year 1976.
Rose Hall Great House in Montego Bay is the most famous in the Saint James Parish, and probably in the whole island. It was built by John Palmer in 1770 on a hill, two miles east of Ironshore. Named after his wife Rose, the house attracts over 100,000 visitors per year. More so by the legend of 'The White Witch Of Rose Hall', where Annie the wife of John Rose Palmer is said to have murdered all three of her husbands, before being strangled by her slaves who all also destroyed the house. After nearly a century in 1966, John Rollins, a wealthy American bought the property and restored the house to its former grandeur. The story goes that her ghosts still haunts the property.
The Columbus Park in Discovery Bay marks the spot where Columbus is said to have put his foot when he first came to Jamaica. Decorated with cannons and maritime artifacts this small park is a heavy tourist's gatherer from all places interested in the history of Jamaica.
Firefly in Ocho Rios is the historic home of play writer Noel Coward. Named after the luminous insect, the firefly seen in the warm evening, one must not miss visiting this place on his trip to Jamaica. The house has certainly hosted its share of several political leaders and also people from the entertainment world. Queen Elizabeth II, Sir Laurence Olivier, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Alec Guinness, Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton have all been to this house. Tour to this place includes a look at the home, the various photos of the celebrities and also the grounds where Coward is now buried.

For many Americans spirituality and business seem to be polar opposites: one is concerned with lofty questions of ultimate significance, the other with mundane matters of the daily grind.

Reading is something children should do year round, but sometimes there is a tendency to slack off that practice in the summertime, which is why the Portsmouth Public Library offers the Summer Reading Program. Saturday, the reward for those who participated took place on the grounds of the main library on Gallia Street in Portsmouth.
"What we're trying to do is promote reading during the summer," Lisa Lavender, Youth Services Supervisor at the Portsmouth Public Library, said. "We want kids not to backslide when they're out of school and they may or may not feel like reading. So we're trying to give them a reason to want to read. So we give away prizes. We give away books and we do programming during the summer. So we're trying to get them into the library and get them to want to read."
Lavender was surrounded by inflatables and other games as well as families eager to sign their kids up for a full day of activities.
"We're having our Summer Reading Carnival Finale," Lavender said. "It's for everyone actually, but we are especially wanting people who came to the library during the summer and participated in the program."
Lavender said there were a lot of incentives to participate in Saturday's event.
"We're giving away tickets to Camden Park today. We're giving away a couple of Long's Retreat tickets," Lavender said. "We have a speaker, Dr. John Becker who is with us and he's going to do a presentation for us."
Becker is an author from Delaware, Ohio, who worked with Jack Hanna at the Columbus Zoo for several years. Becker also does conservation work in Africa.
Inside the library, each part of the children's department was filled with kids going through the various projects and playing games.
"It's just kind of a thank you for everybody for participating in summer reading," lavender said.

Beautiful and Compact Save the Dates
I ordered these beautiful save the dates in red and grey which are my wedding colors, they came out very beautiful and they are very compact magnets. They are for the person looking for something cute, they don't look very formal or extremely romantic when you receive them although they look that way on line I think they may just require a Font adjustment to look more romantic in style, but other than that these are beautiful save the dates.
Heart Shaped Magnets
My fiance and I are very happy with the Save The Date heart magnets we personalized, and received. We just sent them out today. They look exactly like how we designed them on the website, and the colors were perfect. The silver lining envelops are very nice. I also really am happy with the size, like a small "thank you" note. It's not too big, and not too small. I highly recommend these. (and fast delivery too!) 2-28-2015
Loved the magnets!
Loved the magnets, they were even better than I thought they would be!
Perfect Save the Date
We ordered this Save the Date magnet and it was perfect! Our order took two weeks to receive, and when it arrived it came in a cute box that has magnet closures (could be used to store cards in the future) along with a book containing anything you need to know about ordering invitations. The magnets are made of great durrable quality, the design was flawless. It was just what we were looking for! It can be personalized to your taste and color scheme which was also a huge plus as we have Navy and Ivory as our wedding colors. You won't regret ordering this magnet and your guests will love looking at this reminder on their fridge!
I love my Save the Date Magnets
I recently received My Classic All In One Magents and I was thoroughly pleased. I personalized the magnet by using my wedding colors, uploading our photo, and explored various font styles. It was a fun and easy process. The quality of the magnets was superb. They were everything I imagined them to be!

One of two juries late Tuesday found Jose Antonio Aldana, 24, guilty of home invasion robbery, false imprisonment by violence, assault with a firearm and 10 counts of second-degree robbery, said Deputy District Attorney Mario Haidar.
Earlier Tuesday, a separate jury convicted co-defendant Winder Estuardo Barrios, 24, of the same counts. In addition, those jurors found true the special allegations that Barrios personally used a firearm, a shotgun.
The two men were convicted of a March 2009 crime spree that began with a string of armed robberies in the Hollywood area and included a home invasion robbery in Encino in which the housekeeper and the homeowner's daughter were tied up at gunpoint.
Aldana returns to court May 21 for sentencing by Judge Sam Ohta. He faces 32 years in state prison. Barrios returns to the same court on June 25 for sentencing. He faces 50 years in state prison.
Both men were arrested within hours of escaping from the North County Correctional Facility near Castaic on April 28 where they were being held during their trial. Charges have not been filed in connection with the escape.

The boards of both companies approved the merger late Wednesday, according to three people close to the situation.
The carrier keeps the American Airlines name but will be run by US Airways CEO Doug Parker. American's CEO, Tom Horton, will become chairman of the new company, these people said.
They requested anonymity because the merger negotiations were private.
The deal has been in the works since August, when creditors forced American to consider a merger rather than remain independent.
American has been restructuring under bankruptcy protection since late 2011.
Together, American and US Airways will be slightly bigger than United Airlines.Deal sealed: American Airlines and US Airways merging

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plagiarism detection software and penalty for plagiarizing in detecting and deterring plagiarism among medical students. The study was a continuation of previously published research in which second-year medicals students from 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 school years were required to write an essay based on one of the four scientific articles offered by the instructor. Students from 2004/2005 (N = 92) included in present study were given the same task. Topics of two of the four articles were considered less complex, and two were more complex. One less and one more complex articles were available only as hardcopies, whereas the other two were available in electronic format. The students from 2001/2002 (N = 111) were only told to write an original essay, whereas the students from 2002/2003 (N = 87) were additionally warned against plagiarism, explained what plagiarism was, and how to avoid it. The students from 2004/2005 were warned that their essays would be examined by plagiarism detection software and that those who had plagiarized would be penalized. Students from 2004/2005 plagiarized significantly less of their essays than students from the previous two groups (2% vs. 17% vs. 21%, respectively, P < 0.001). Over time, students more frequently choose articles with more complex subjects (P < 0.001) and articles in electronic format (P < 0.001) as a source for their essays, but it did not influence the rate of plagiarism. Use of plagiarism detection software in evaluation of essays and consequent penalties had effectively deterred students from plagiarizing.

YOU Can Make A Difference — PCHSearch&Win Can Help!
Hey Searchers,
When it comes to making a difference, there is no such thing as "big" or "small." Making a difference is perhaps the one thing in life that you cannot measure or quantify. Kindness and generosity are not merely commodities, and they can be displayed by acts as simple as holding the door for someone behind you or helping someone whose car is broken down on the side of the road.
It's easy to make a difference in someone's life and there is immense truth behind the notion that one act of kindness begets another and so on and so forth. Surely, you can name two or three historical figures whose acclaim includes changing lives for the better. And PCHSearch&Win can certainly help you find out more about them!
But rest assured, you don't have to be well-known or famous to make a difference in someone's life — and just because your act of courage, kindness or braveness doesn't get documented in history books, does not mean that your actions go unnoticed.
You may be asking yourself how you can make a difference. There are so many ways to become a positive force in someone's life – small changes ripple outward, for sure. After doing a quick search on PCHSearch&Win, I came across a few, easy ways to make a difference:
Mentor at-risk kids
Volunteer at an animal shelter
Pick up trash
Cook a meal for an elderly neighbor
Encourage someone to go for their dreams
Teach someone a new language
Lastly, has someone make a difference in your life? Tell them about it! A well thought out letter can be worth its weight in gold.
When was the last time someone made a difference in your life? When was the last time YOU made a difference in someone's life? Tell us comments in the below.
Good luck!
Jussie Wilder

I know some time's so people do not care if other people have any thing but I do. I am a good God loving person and I be leave that all people need some kind help so helping others is my way of helping were it is needed ,were I live there is a lot of people that needs help and D.H.S. helps vary little and some times I see people at Christian help center helps more so if I come into some money I want to help others, I can not even help my children I have so little my roof leaks and the man that was to fix it took his money and never did the rest no mater what so the roofs of the north will fell gods mighty hand.

Antarctica Cruises 2015
Looking to explore Antarctica in 2015?
Early 2015: For those wanting to visit in Jan, Feb and March 2015, you'll need to book soon in order to secure a space on your preferred voyage as availability is becoming increasingly limited.
Late 2015: If you're planning ahead for November and December 2015, then (at time of writing in Summer 2014) you should have your pick of voyages and cabins, although not all itineraries have yet been released by the operators.
Early 2015 | Late 2015 | Deals 2015 | Cruise Guide | Vessel Guide
Things to know about voyages in Early 2015:
You'll want to book quickly for a place on your preferred voyage soon, especially if you want your pick of the different cabin categories. The cheapest cabins tend to get booked up in advance.
Sadly, all the Fly & Cruise trips are now fully booked.
Voyages in March (towards the end of the season when the days are a little cheaper) tend to be slightly discounted on the peak season voyages in January.
Take a look at our cruise guide to get an idea of what type of voyage would suit you best.
Visiting in Antarctic in January means visiting at the very height of summer - the days are longest (as many as 20 hours of daylight each day). This is a great time for landscape photographers as great floating icebergs cut distinct lines against the sky and sea. You'll also see penguin chicks going crazy, and many species of seals abound.
It becomes possible cross the Antarctic Circle in February due to the weakend and receeding ice of summer. The life that summer breathes into the Antarctic Ocean means that it is peak season for whale spotting as these great mammals return to its waters. By February, penguin chicks have strengthened and are forming "penguin creches".
By March, the penguin chicks are grown up enough to be inquisitive about visitors. Like February, it's also a great time for whale spotting as they feast in preparation for their next migration. You'll also see green and pink alage blooming in the waters. Days are starting to get shorter, but the prices do reflect this.
Things to know about voyages in Late 2015:
If you're planning ahead for November and December 2015 then (at time of writing in Summer 2014), you should have your pick of voyages and cabins. The December voyages are obviously more popular and often at a small premium, but you'll enjoy longer days and the penguin chicks will be older and more active.
Most operators have released their dates and rates now for this season, however we expect a few more itineraries to be released in the coming weeks, so contact us to recceive updates on new voyages.
Please contact us for any early-booking or early-payment deals that may be available.
Note: Fly & Cruise voyages get booked up a long way in advance; book now to secure your preferred dates.
Airfares and schedules won't be released until early 2015, but we can provide indicative quotes for the flight from your home to Ushuaia or Punta Arenas.
To get an idea of which type of voyage is right for you, take a look at our Antarctic cruise guide.
Take a look at Antarctic voyages in 2016.
Mating season for penguins, you'll be treated to courtship displays and a flurry of activitiy as they build their nests. November's also the time for seals - crabeater, fur, elepehant, weddel and leopard - to mate, and for landscape photographers to visit, as the giant icebergs form distinctive outlines against the sea and sky.
December's the height of summer for Antarctica as the continent bathes in 20-24 hours of daylight. You could also spot minke, orca and humpback whales as they begin to return to their replenishing feeding grounds. Like November, seals abound as they seek suitable mates and landscape photographers are treated to the still-crisp edges of great icebers.

Which month?
- January
Summer is in full swing with penguin chicks hatching all fluffy and grey, you'll see them earlier in the South Shetland Islands and later in the month to the south of the Peninsula. In January watch out for:
- Fur and leopard seal pups getting bigger, sticking close to their mums on the beaches.
- Penguin colonies are a hive of activity, with parents finding as much food as possible for their young, fending off giant Skua birds that prey on baby penguins.
Find out more about visiting Antarctica in January
- February
February is still summertime and the continuously receding ice means that ice breakers can explore further south, visiting the Antarctic Peninsula and Weddell Sea. Expect to see:
- Young penguin chicks are starting to get strong and big and can be seen huddling in 'penguin creches'.
- The concentration of fur seals increases
- February is prime time for whale watching with a variety of breeds feeding in the Antarctic Peninsula
Find out more about visiting Antarctica in February
- March
By March, Autumn is well and truly here. The days begin to get shorter and the temperature starts to drop as the sun sinks below the southern horizon. Extensive walks into the South Shetland Islands are possible as although you may experience some winter frost during the night, snow cover is at its minimum.
- Young penguins are now in a state of adolescence and are interested and inquisitive in visitors
- Adult penguins are molting, making them look strangely shabby! They spend a lot of their time teaching their young to go to sea
- Whale watching is still very good at this time of year and there's a high chance you'll get near to lots of them
Find out more about visiting Antarctica in March
- November
November is springtime in Antarctica, and as the ice begins to break and melt thanks to the sun's energy, Antarctica gets a burst of life - with plankton blooming on the ice and krill swelling in abundance. After a long, dark winter, Antartica's creatures make the most of the spring to fatten up before darkness strikes again. In November you'll see:
- Crabeater seals (born between September and November)
- Penguin courting rituals, nest building and stone stealing
- Penguin, petrel and comorant eggs are laid in November
- Elephant alpha seals aggressively guarding their harems on the beach until December
- Seals lounging on many icebergs
- Minke, Southern right whales and humpbacks arriving to feed
Find out more about visiting Antarctica in November
- December
We're in early summer now, and many animals are being born, parents are searching for food for their young, and the variety of wildlife that can be seen on the icebergs, ice cliffs and Antarctic beaches is extraordinary. You'll see:
- whales feeding in Antarctica's food rich waters
- Petrel and comorant eggs are still hatching
- Penguin eggs start to hatch at the end of December in South Shetland Islands
- Days are lengthening so you should be getting near to 24 hours of daylight

Very basic hotel - went there since we did a last minute booking. Not bad for a night stay, but not as good if you plan to enjoy the pool etc. Huge number of rooms, 2 pools (not very clean) and a small small gym. They claim WiFi, but BEWARE, it is only available in the lobby. No hard-LAN connection as well in rooms.

Catcher in the Rye
Salinger, J. D.
J. D. Salinger: (Jerome David Salinger) (săl´Ĭnjər), 1919–2010, American novelist and short-story writer, b. New York City. His considerable literary stature rests on a small but extremely influential body of work that is noted for its depiction of the loneliness and frustration of individuals caught in a world of banalities and restricting conformity. His most famous work and only novel, The Catcher in the Rye (1951), is a picaresque work that describes, in a vernacular first-person voice, the adventures of Holden Caulfield, a rebellious and alienated schoolboy at odds with society. It remains extremely popular, particularly among adolescents, who over the years have tended to view it as a testament to the purity and honesty of youth. Many of Salinger's sharply observed short stories concern the ex-vaudevillian parents and seven brilliant, quiz-show-star children of the Glass family, presented as sensitive, neurotic, and intelligent individuals in a crass, vulgar world. By the mid-20th cent. Salinger was hailed as one of America's great writers. Nonetheless, in 1953 he retreated from public life amd moved to a rural compound in Cornish, N.H. Becoming a kind of literary recluse, he increasingly shunned those who were interested in his writing and his life; in 1987 he won an injunction against a researcher who intended to publish excerpts of his letters. Collections of his stories, most of which, beginning in 1946, first appeared in the New Yorker, include Nine Stories (1953), Franny and Zooey (1961), Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters (1963), and Seymour, An Introduction (1963). His last story was published in the New Yorker in 1965.
See J. D. Salinger's Short Stories (2011), ed. by H. Bloom; memoirs by J. Maynard (1999) and M. A. Salinger, his daughter (2000); biographies by I. Hamilton (1989, rev. ed. 2000), P. Alexander (1999), and K. Slawenski (2011); studies by G. Rosen (1977), W. French (1988), J. Wenke (1991), K. Kotzen and T. Beller, ed. (2001), J. C. Unrue (2002), and H. Bloom, ed. (new ed. 2008).

Postal buses
Postal buses go to the places where to which the train doesn't go. Since recently there are direct buses from Pontresina via the Bernina Pass road (that takes a different route than the train) to Poshiavo/Le Prese. These run quite often in the mornings and afternoons but not hourly.
Smaller buses serve the small villages/hamlets in the side valleys: From Sfazu at the Bernina Pass road into Val da Camp, from Brusio up to Viano and another to Selvaplana on the eastern side of the lake (the train runs along the western shore). These buses run infrequently. The schedules are co-ordinated with train and Postal bus, though and convenient for hikers IME. Please note that reservation is obligatory for these smaller buses! Also, the bus into Val da Camp costs a surcharge (Alpine Ticket).
The phone number for reservations is to find on www.postauto.ch
- Budget Travel
Rhaetian Railway
The main mean of transportation is the Rhaetian Railway. The trains run from St. Moritz in the Upper Engadine over the Bernina Pass down to Poschiavo, pass the lake and after Brusio the famous circular viaduct before crossing the border into Italy and ending in Tirano. The elevation difference is remarkable: Start is in St. Moritz at roughly 1800 m, highest point is the Bernina Pass at 2256 m, the end in Tirano is roughly at 440 m.
Especially between the Bernina Pass and Poschiavo hairpin curves, tunnels, bridges and covered galleries had to be built for the train climbing down the steep slopes. Thus the train is not exactly an Express train - though the marketing claims so.
Regional trains run almost hourly and stop at each little place (sometimes upon demand, so don't hesitate to press that button which is to find in the cars), Express trains run a couple of times daily and stop only at the major places - they need reservation and cost a surcharge. I personally love the regional trains that also have open-air cars attached in July/August between St. Moritz and Poschiavo.
- Trains
By Bernina train
When coming from the Bernina pass Poschiavo is the first big town on the way to Tirano in Italy. As the train is coming down a steep track the brakes make a lot of noise and smell too.
The train station has a big kiosk which sells drinks and snacks too. Plus the post office is in there too.

2011 is gone, my friend. Heck, even 2012 is over as far as tennis is concerned. The present situation of the Nadal vs. Djokovic rivalry is considerably different compared to this time a year ago. This time last year, Nadal had lost 6 finals in a row to Djokovic on all 3 surfaces, including in 2 major finals. At the present time, Nadal is on a 3-match winning streak against Djokovic, having convincingly strengthened his position as the king of clay, back to his old dominant self.

LOL. Djokovic has almost always been ahead of Nadal on hardcourts in their head-to-head, even before 2011. Before 2011, Nadal would always win both the closest, and the most important, matches, on all surfaces, while Djokovic's wins would always be on hardcourts in 2 straight sets. 2011 saw Djokovic change the dynamics of the rivalry, to the point where he was out-Nadalling Nadal on the tennis court. In 2012, though, it changed again.
I firmly believe that Nadal got rid of his demons during the 2012 Australian Open final, strangely enough, despite the loss. He looked content after the match, rather than unsettled. It was obviously bad to lose after leading 4-2 in the fifth set, but just getting into that position had restored Nadal's confidence that he could beat Djokovic in the future.
Djokovic's grandfather passing away may have had some hand in the result of the 2012 Monte Carlo final, but it was still an extra boost of confidence for Nadal when he won the title for the 8th year in a row. The 2012 Rome final was a close match, yet Nadal won it in straight sets, avenging the previous year's loss. And the 2012 French Open final, with so much at stake, saw Nadal triumph.

We'll see. We need to see Nadal in action in 2013 to have a better idea on that.

The European clay period is more than 4 months away yet and the French Open is 6 months away. We've got many tournaments before then. Nadal will probably play the Abu Dhabi exhibition tournament, Doha, the Australian Open, Indian Wells and Miami before he gets on the clay.

Nadal hits with a load of topspin, so has a high margin for error. That's why he's so good, he can be powerful and aggressive, while at the same time, he has a high margin for error so that even on a bad playing day, he usually does well.

You tell me who has the better outlook. LOL.
It might have done Nadal good to have had many months away from tennis. If Nadal still has the physicality and the desire for success, the break will have done him brilliantly.

I got this as a gift and used it in base camp on a recent trip. The dials are easy to control for this basic dependable stove. The piezo fires this puppy up every time and the wind screens provide enough protection through mild gusts. I recommend you give this a try if you're looking for a stove of this type for car camping or base camp. It's fairly light and cheaper than many of its competitors.
