Nview not starting?? can anyone please help?

Hi All.
I have sorted the problem out now....for all those that are interested the problem was caused by Gainwards "so called" Expert Tool v1 and v2...when I installed the drivers from the Manufacturers CD it installed this program as well (no way of selecting NOT to install it!!!).
Expert Tool and nView were conflicting with each other so neither would start up.
I did ANOTHER clean install and just put the DET 40.41 drivers on from Nvidia...sorted.!!
Previous to this I assumed that the Expert Tool just HAD TO BE installed for the card to function correctly and to use the other OC features etc etc etc of this card....not so!!!.
As you are all aware...DET 40.41 has its own OC tab....cooolll......so....no need for the now defunct Expert Tool program.
All is fine now.....funny thing is my program menu speed has gone back to 0 secs and the system has stopped re-selecting animation for windows effects (i turn all this rubbish off by default)....so these two conflicts must have been causing one hell of a problem for the desktop shell???
40.41 nView is still not quite bug free..but...hey!!...I can live with it for the time being....and will now give the card a fair chance to impress me.

Miami Senior
PROS: Has decent speed and gets a nice release as an intermediate threat. Can be fiesty and show good effort as a blocker. Has ability to get position.
CONS: Doesn't have the speed to get vertical. Doesn't have good hands or concentration, and bobbles and double catches too many balls. Doesn't show ability to adjust to ball in the air. Needs to play with better pop off the snap and gets pushed back into the backfield too often. Will whiff on some blocks because he doesn't use his hands well and consistently lock on.
OVERVIEW: He is athletic, but is nothing special as a receiver or blocker. He worked both as an inline tight end and H-back during his days at Miami. A two-year starter that combined for 41 passes for 551 yards and 5 scores the past two years.
NFL FORECAST: Epps projects as a No. 3 guy at the next level. His best chance of sticking on an NFL roster is his blocking ability. He gives good effort, but his lack of good size, strength, and poor hand technique limits just how effective he is and can be down the road. He might be able to eventually develop into a decent No. 2 blocker down the road, but he'll be average. At best, you're looking at another John Owens. But Owens is a journeyman that could never really stick anywhere, and that's going to be the issue with Epps. But at least Owens has managed to play eight seasons in the league, so Epps can still have a nice NFL career, if not in one place. He's good enough to make an NFL roster, but I think his contributions will come more on special teams than offense.
ATL FORECAST: Epps could push for time in Atlanta as a No. 3 guy, but doesn't offer the blocking upside over Zinger. And he isn't a good enough receiver to think he'll be effective there. He is good enough to make the Falcons practice squad, but probably not good enough to stick long-term. Unless he turns into a stud special teams player, he doesn't offer the long-term upside to keep beyond a year or so.
VALUE: Epps isn't really worth a draft pick because he is a career backup that isn't a good enough blocker or receiver to think he can be a regular contributor anytime soon.

A 1999 movie starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt based on the book of the same name.< read all 29 reviews
For most men there is a serious rush of pleasure and excitement that comes from an adrenaline charged situation. We live for the moments of uncertainty, the challenge of a complex task, or the moments of tension where you don't know what is going to happen in the next moment. For many men, Fight Club is one of the greatest concept movies that unfortunately has no real truth in reality, but is a seriously powerful and wonderful idea that would catch on quick.
The Concept
Essentially, the movie is about a couple of guys that get together and create an underground fight club. The idea of the club is that all men need some means of releasing aggression, unfortunately culture dictates that the release of aggression is wrong and we must suppress it. With fight club, men are allowed to get together in a safe environment, pull off their tie, throw off their suit coat and fight with random people. The idea isn't to kill the other person, the idea is to fight until you feel better. You don't have to be a professional fighter, just the average guy trying to release the stress of your day.
The Fight Club however becomes so much more than just a club. It becomes something more like a cult as the members begin living in the same house, doing chores, performing terrorist-like attacks locally. The problem is that because they control the majority of the average men, the city has very little that they can do to control the problems that the Fight Club creates so they are able to get away with everything that they do.
Eventually, the main character realizes that he and his founding partner are nothing more than one in the same person. He created this alter ego in order to find escape for his ultimately boring existance. This of course creates some internal struggles as he realizes that all of the negatives and evils were really done by him and not his partner.
The acting is great throughout the movie. For the type of movie that it was, the characters truly looked as if they were part of the club. Even the extras seemed to fit into the club and operate in the exact manner I would expect those operating in those environments would operate. I think a lot of the acting had to do with the excellent scripting and casting. The scripts created very smooth dialogue between the different characters, really bringing the movie to life. A lot of what was said throughout the movie really built it up and started foreshadowing that you only realize at the end of the movie.
The overall concept of the movie was excellent. It was a very well rounded movie that featured an excellent cast of characters, great writing, and an awesome plot. The movie flowed incredibly well from beginning to end and really built up each and every aspect of the movie. You definitely find yourself on the edge of your seat as you wait to see what is going to happen next.
If nothing else, this is a great guy movie. This is one of those movies that you sit back with the guys and watch as a group while drinking beer and eating nachos. This is most definitely not a movie that you watch with your lady. I know this is one of my favorite late night movies that I watch prior to going to bed.
But if you want an excellent movie, this is definitely the way to go, you won't be disappointed by any stretch of the imagination.

Bat Boy - The Musical
Editorial Staff • West End • 8 Jul 2004
Yes, I liked some of Laurence O'Keefe's jaunty, pastiche-laden score, a fresh-blooded collection of country, rap and gospel-influenced songs with soupy, appealing love ballads (but an annoyingly insistent reverberating echo signalling the end of each big number). And it's certainly refreshing to find those songs animating a freshly original story, too, plucked from the "headlines" of the Weekly World News, that charts the journey of an outsider to find acceptance in a family but intolerance from a wider community.
As that outsider – a boy, with pointy-shaped ears and a penchant for drinking blood, who's discovered living in a cave near the town of Hope Falls, West Virginia, and quickly becomes labelled Bat Boy – American actor Deven May (recreating his performance from the original 2001 off-Broadway production) is an appealingly vulnerable and charming presence. May anchors the production with a palpable sincerity and honesty when the rest of it is too often surrendering to a strenuous, too-knowing atmosphere of pure camp.
But the frequent disparities in the tone and texture of Mark Wing-Davey's loud, less-than-subtle production mean that total surrender to the musical's overblown charms is ultimately impossible. Partly, it's a matter of magnification. While Bat Boy was originally seen at a 499-seater Off-Broadway theatre, the Union Square, here it's blown up to fill the far larger Shaftesbury (albeit with a false wall inserted into the rear stalls to draw the seating in a bit).
Wing-Davey has broadened the tone as well, trying to have it all ways at once: playing for truth one minute, for send-up comedy the next. Madeline Herbert's design is also inexplicably daunting and ugly, and Mark Logue's projections are more busy than effective.
The result of this collective failure to provide a consistent or convincing atmosphere is that the show fails to surprise or get under your skin in the way that similar 'cult' shows like The Rocky Horror Show or Little Shop of Horrors manage to do so effectively. You rooted for the characters of those shows, however improbable their dilemmas, but here – despite some strong voices from an ensemble that includes John Barr, Rebecca Vere and Emma Williams as the family who take Bat Boy in - I was never taken in myself.
- Mark Shenton
NOTE: The following FOUR-STAR review dates from July 2004 and this production's initial UK dates at Leeds' West Yorkshire Playhouse.
The slogan on the West Yorkshire Playhouse usherettes' sweatshirts reads simply: "Another bloody musical". It sure is that. If you have any tendency to faint at the sight of stage blood, stay away, because Bat Boy - The Musical has bucketsful more than Sweeney Todd - not to mention a bigger pile of stiffs at the curtain than The Duchess of Malfi.
Built on a load of flimflam in the tabloid Weekly World News about the supposed discovery, in a cave in the hills of West Virginia, of a two-feet tall half-man-half-bat, "the show", according to composer Laurence O'Keefe "is simultaneously dead serious and seriously loony." The dead serious bit is the familiar one of the predisposition of Americans to mass hysteria in the face of the unexplained, supposed threat - The Crucible as baroque musical melodrama, if you like.
As for the seriously loony … in a plot which would creak dangerously if it didn't drive ever onwards with such reckless impetus, Bat Boy is captured, billeted with the local vet, given the name Edgar and transformed from gibbering, uncoordinated wild creature to apparent human being with full command of received English. All in the course of a single song. The vet's wife and virginal blonde daughter become Edgar's champions and the girl makes it very clear very quickly that she's keen to lose the word 'virginal' from her credentials. Which, ritually - thanks to a ceremony organised by the god Pan - she does. Then the real trouble begins.
Actually, the trouble had begun from the moment Edgar was captured. He was, after all, different, and thus credited with deaths in families and the failure of cattle herds to flourish. "You're trying to raise cows on the side of a mountain!" the vet's wife observes. But too late, too late. By then the community is baying for the sheriff to kill Edgar before he visits more tragedy upon them.
With a book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming and O'Keefe's music and lyrics, Bat Boy has a narrative and musical drive of glorious pace and energy. Camp hokum from start to finish, it's notable for a very fine, tight ensemble performance under the direction of Mark Wing-Davey, in the midst of which Deven May's Edgar is excellent but not stellar. It's not easy to know how a bat boy would comport himself, but May's performance is rather more simian than batty, his movement like early Jerry Lewis; but he sings like an angel. Emma Williams as Shelley, the vet's girl, similarly throws herself vocally and physically into the role of star-struck adolescent, though a loose-fitting frock only just hides the fact that she is strictly too physically mature for the role.
With the transfer already confirmed, my advice is: Hold tight, London. If you know what's good for you, you'll take to this as to the Rocky Horror Show.

It's been easy to get worried about Russia re-emerging as a threat to the United States in the past year, especially as the country's government buddies up with China, but at least the Russian people seem to be over the old school style of strong man Russian governing.
An unprecedented protest by tens of thousands of Russians claiming elections were rigged has prompted the Kremlin to promise to look into fraud charges and may be the first major threat to Vladimir Putin's uncontested hold on power.
"If Putin ignores this, then it will mean a threat to his presidency," Gennady Gudkov, a parliamentarian with the opposition party A Just Russia said on Sunday.
If few had doubts that Putin would win his third presidential election in 12 years in March, then "this question is now not as certain as it was in the past," Gudkov said.
At least 30,000 people and perhaps as many as 100,000 turned up Saturday despite the wind and wet snow in Bolotnaya Square to demand a recount of the Dec. 4 parliamentary vote, in which Putin's United Russia won nearly half the vote. The protests near the Kremlin were the largest in post-Soviet history.
Protesters from all political factions said they were fed up in general with the government's corruption and inefficiency. Many shouted "Down with Putin," and "Russia without Putin."
Roman Braun, an entrepreneur in his mid-20s, held up a sign showing pictures of Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev, with a caption saying it was time for them to move on.
"I came because I think we've had enough of sitting in kitchens and talking about it, and it's time to come out and make a civil stand," he said.

New to the online community. Looking for some positive experiences out in the world. Been focused on my work and my hobbies, and now ready to break out of the norm. I am very friendly and outgoing. A little timid when trying out new things. But I am ready to get out there, into the world. I am a master of the technological arts. Which means I work in the world of computers and gadgets. I have been doing this for a living for the last few years. Recently I have gotten into photography. Its a new great pass-time for me. I do a lot of portraits and still life photography. The great thing about photography is it gets you thinking outside the box. Changing the view, or adding some extra light really can change how something comes out. That and saying strange things to clients to get a funny reaction face photo. I moved here to Colorado from Florida, so me and snow still have our battles. Usually I win, cause I can stand temps. above 40 degrees F. But the good thing about snow is winter clothes, that's something that wasn't around much in Florida.

Wolves v Aston Villa preview
Wolves and Aston Villa embark on their first Midlands derby of the season when they lock horns at Molineux.
Last Updated: 24/09/10 4:21pm
Wolves and Aston Villa embark on their first Midlands derby of the season when they lock horns at Molineux on Sunday.
Neither side has got going yet this season and both Mick McCarthy and Gerard Houllier will be hoping three points can really kick-start their respective Premier League campaigns.
Villa manager Houllier's first game in charge of his new side ended in a 3-1 victory over Blackburn in the Carling Cup on Wednesday, but they have not won in the league since August.
The French tactician has called for patience at Villa Park as he looks to make his mark on the club, but the nature of top-flight football will no doubt mean that if results start slowly, the pressure will follow.
It will be all the more difficult a task as a number of Villa fans seem unconvinced that Houllier is the man to lead them forward, and with upcoming games against Tottenham, Chelsea and a derby with Birmingham, a win at Molineux would lighten the load as he tries to settle in.
But Wolves at home are no pushovers having won three of four on their own turf so far this term, and McCarthy knows his side have the potential to beat almost any opponent on their day.
The forthright coach will be aware, though, that his team needs to learn how to hold onto a lead after twice surrendering an advantage to lose their last two matches.
Wolves took the lead at Tottenham last weekend through Steven Fletcher, but ended up losing the clash 3-1 in North London.
It was a case of déjà-vu for McCarthy as the week before at Fulham Jelle Van Damme opened the scoring only for the Cottagers to mount a comeback and earn a 2-1 triumph on the banks of the Thames.
Team news
Van Damme is a doubt this time around for Wolves, but could be available for what is expected to be a fiery encounter.
David Edwards could feature for the home side while Matt Jarvis also makes it despite suffering a groin injury last weekend.
McCarthy will recall a number of senior players after he rested them for the midweek victory over Notts County in the Carling Cup, but Stephen Hunt is still out with a foot problem.
They will be boosted by the return of defender Christophe Berra though, as the Scotsman comes back from suspension.
Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor faces a late fitness test after coming off injured against Blackburn on Wednesday.
Midfielder Stephen Ireland will also be assessed before the game, while John Carew could return to the fold after missing the clash with Bolton last weekend.
Stewart Downing returns after being rested to protect a gashed shin, but Richard Dunne is unlikely to recover from a knee injury in time.
Possible starting XIs:
Wolves: Hahnemann, Craddock, Mancienne, Foley, Berra, Henry, Jones, Jarvis, Ward, Fletcher, Doyle.
Aston Villa: Friedel, L Young, Collins, Cuellar, Warnock, Petrov, Downing, Ireland, A Young, Agbonlahor, Heskey.

An underwriting manager manages the process of ascertaining client eligibility; that is, they supervise the employees who work directly with clients to assess whether or not they are qualified to receive the company's product. The manager might also work directly with clients. Most often, underwriting refers to the business conducted by financial institutes such as banks, credit unions, and other lenders; underwriting is also common in the insurance and real estate industries. An underwriting manager typically has his or her own office and spends the day working directly with other employees and/or clients. They verify employment documents, perform background checks, assess eligibility and risks, and prepare paperwork. The underwriting manager is responsible for making eligibility decisions as well.Read More...
The underwriting manager must have excellent interpersonal and customer service skills, and they must be able to efficiently communicate with and delegate to employees. To succeed in underwriting, the manager must be able to communicate effectively in verbal, nonverbal, and written forms. Relevant formal education is generally not required to be a manager in this field; however, a postsecondary degree in finance, business, or a related field may be preferred. Often, a high-performing underwriting manager may be promoted to higher-level managerial positions.

Managers of Underwriting do not often transition into VP of Underwriting roles. The role averages $129K per year. With an annual salary of $115K, Underwriting Director is the most common role for Managers of Underwriting to subsequently assume on their way up the ladder. Transitioning into a Mortgage Loan Underwriter role — which usually pays $54K — is also typical for Managers of Underwriting, though less common by comparison.
Managers of Underwriting generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in Financial Analysis, Insurance, Mortgage Loans, and Loan Underwriting are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 3 percent and 6 percent. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Customer Relationship Management, People Management, and Risk Management / Risk Control. Most people skilled in Financial Analysis are similarly competent in People Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Managers of Underwriting with a lot of experience tend to enjoy higher earnings. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $64K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $86K. Managers of Underwriting with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $93K. Veterans who have surpassed the 20-year mark may make only slightly more than those who are navigating the mid-career stage; the more senior group reports median earnings of around $98K.

Challah Bread
|2% low fat milk
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs) (Lukewarm, 105° To 115°F)
|Active dry yeast
|1⁄4 Ounce (1 Packet)
|2 Tablespoon
|1 Pinch (Optional)
|Lukewarm water
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|2 Large
|Unsalted butter/Margarine
|3 Tablespoon, melted
|1 Teaspoon
|All purpose flour
|3 Cup (48 tbs)
|Egg white
|1 Large
|Cold water
|1 Tablespoon
|Poppy seeds
|2 Tablespoon
1. Into a large bowl, pour the milk, then stir in the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and let stand for 10 minutes or until foamy. Dissolve the saffron in the lukewarm water.
2. In a medium-size bowl, with an electric mixer set on high, beat the eggs until light yellow. Add the saffron water, butter, the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the salt, beating 1 minute longer, then stir into the milk mixture. Using a wooden spoon, beat in the flour, 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead for 8 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Transfer the dough to a large buttered bowl, turning to coat with the butter. Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Butter a 15 1/2 x 14-inch baking sheet. Punch down the dough and divide into 3 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece into a 12- x 1-inch rope. Place the 3 ropes side-by-side on the baking sheet. Pinch the top ends together, braid, then tuck the ends under.
5. In a cup, whisk the egg white with the cold water and brush over the braid. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Cover and let rise for 1 hour more or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. (If the bread seems to be browning too quickly, lay a piece of foil loosely over the top.) Transfer to a rack to cool.

His Fair Assassin Books 1 and 2
The book my book group read last month was Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers. I finished up the sequel Dark Triumph today and am now impatiently waiting for the third book to be published in the spring. This is very enjoyable young adult series, partially because it has a very entertaining central concept, well executed, and the author avoids some of the cliches and narrative traps that plague less entertaining novels. Really any review of these books is unnecessary simply because telling you that the books revolve around TEENAGE ASSASSIN NUNS IN BRITTANY DURING THE MIDDLE AGES is likely to either draw you in or leave you repulsed (if you are a boring person who doesn't enjoy assassin nuns).
The first book centers on Ismae, who is a peasant girl with a brutal life who escapes to the convent of Saint Mortain, the God of Death. Trained to be a top notch assassin, Ismae is assigned to go to the court of the Duchess Anne, accompanying the handsome yet extremely suspicious Duval. Ismae uses her assassin's gifts to begin unraveling the plots that surround the Duchess, but she is distracted by her growing attraction to the man she's assigned to spy upon. One of the things that I enjoyed very much about this book was the combination of historical research and a unique narrative voice. The convent of Saint Mortain is clearly a cover for worship of a much older, more pagan god, given a vaguely Christian appearance in order to survive the religious pressures of the day. Ismae as a peasant who is transformed by her convent training has the zeal of a fervent believer, but even she notices that sometimes her orders to kill that come from the convent might be more politically expedient than they are the will of her god. The fantasy elements are blended in well with Ismae's assassin training. She can see dark smudges when someone is marked for death, and only then will she act as an assassin. I have a bit of YA Love Triangle fatigue at this point, so I was very happy when the book just concentrated on the growing relationship between Ismae and Duval without the distraction of a third party. It seems like more often in YA these days a love triangle is a required element, so the lack of one felt very refreshing. Ismae has close friends at the convent who were trained at around the same time as her, and this plays in nicely to the sequel books.
In addition to Love Triangle Fatigue, I also have a bit of Trilogy Fatigue, as there are plenty of series that have 2 books of content that are stretched into three, or 4 books of content turned into an unsatisfying trilogy. I also get a bit weary of trilogies that are basically one long book with two horrible cliffhangers spaced out into three volumes. The His Fair Assassin Series is one of my favorite types of trilogies because instead of following the same character and story throughout, the protagonist changes with each book. The timelines cover some of the same periods, but the shift in character perspective makes the series very interesting.
Dark Triumph has Sybella as a protagonist. A girl of noble birth who arrives at the convent acting utterly wild and not particularly thrilled to be there, Ismae regarded Sybella with affection but not a lot of true understanding, as their backgrounds and life experiences are totally different. Sybella is the daughter of the evil (EXTRA EVIL) nobleman D'Albret, who is determined to gain control of Brittany by forcibly marrying the young Duchess Anne. While Ismae may have foiled some of his plots in the first book, he is still around (STILL EVIL!) and Sybella must work to carry out the will of Mortain while dodging her own relatives. Sybella's main activity is rescuing The Beast, one of Duvall's close friends whose martial powers when he's enraged by battle lust are unmatched. As they journey together, more and more of Sybella's troubled background is revealed, but even she is able to transform and grow into a whole person. The contrast in personalities between the two heroines was enjoyable. Ismae is a true believer, but Sybella is cynical and pragmatic. She enjoys killing people for her own reasons, and in a way she's almost perfectly matched with The Beast, who leaves trails of corpses in his wake.
The conflict between the political maneuverings of the nuns in charge of the convent and the will of the god Mortain itself are alluded to in the first book and developed even more in the second. I'm wondering if there will be some larger upheaval in the convent for book three. Sometimes there are authors who might seize upon an interesting idea, but the execution and back story isn't very well filled out, so the reader has to do a lot of suspension of disbelief and mental gymnastics in order to get through the book. I'm thinking particularly of Divergent, which was fun but there were so many loopholes in the events and future history portrayed in the books that it didn't seem like there was much initial world building taking place before the book was written. This is absolutely not the case with the His Fair Assassin series, where it is very clear that LaFevers has done extensive research into the time period. The reader can just sit back and be transported into another world and enjoy the unique setting and fantasy elements. I highly recommend this series if you enjoy historical fantasy.

Recent adventures in crafting
I finished a scarf/shawl thing. It is too bad it is going to be too hot to wear it for many many weeks.
It is a Color Affection made of Wollmeise, and it is awesome! I love that yarn.
I love it so much I bought some more!
These are We're Different skeins – slightly off standard versions of the Suzanne and Verhext und Verratzt. The Verhext und Verratzt WD might be my favorite skein of Wollmeise yet. I love the purples!
Speaking of purple things, I've been cheating on my knitting by working on an Amethyst Princess of Gemworld cross stitch project. Here you can see Prince Topaz and Lady Turquoise, along with a headless, bisected Prince Garnet:

Amethyst and the Weirdoverse – Wrap-up
I accidentally blew away most of the images on this blog and have been adding them back to my Amethyst posts. I just realized that I hadn't actually finished covering the very odd time Amethyst popped up in the Convergence/Book Of Fate/Weirodoverse crossover issues in the 90s.
Amethyst does appear briefly at the end of Book of Fate 8, where she takes a bath, evilly.
She shows up again to flirt with Fate in an ill-fitting purple bikini.
Other things happen, and eventually Fate gets sent to a future alien plant to hang out with Lobo!? I was really not paying very close attention at this point, but Amethyst does show up again as an old lady.
And that's about it, for Amethyst appearances in this obscure corner of the 1990s. I do plan to cover some of the Amethyst references in Legion of Super-Heroes soon.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
BUFORD -- A Buford man is in jail after he reportedly neglected a horse, tying it to a truck with nothing but weeds and kudzu to eat.
Gwinnett County Police and animal control officers say 65-year-old Jerry Cantrell owns four horses on his property at 550 N. Gwinnett St.
One, a brown and white horse named Scooby Doo, was found isolated and tied to a Dodge Dakota between two junked cars during their June 10 visit to the property.
According to the police report, Cantrell claimed that Scooby Doo was segregated from the others because of a fight that had occurred several weeks prior. The horse, with injuries stemming from that fight unattended to, showed signs of extreme weight loss and dehydration, police said.
During the original visit from animal control, Cantrell was also issued a warning about his care for the other horses -- the leaky roof of the makeshift barn they were kept in caused "several inches of mud that the other horses were standing in," police said.
Cantrell was booked into Gwinnett County Jail on Thursday on one count of misdemeanor cruelty to animals, and remained there in lieu of $5,700 bond Friday afternoon.

By a vote of 4-3, the Glendale City Council agreed to the fifteen year lease that will keep the Phoenix Coyotes in Arizona. I'm sure Bettman and Daly are thrilled. I'm sure the small handful of fans are thrilled. But is this in the best interest of the NHL, and hockey as a sport in North America? This also begs the question how does this affect realignment? The Seattle rumors were rampant the last few weeks, but any return of Seattle NHL hockey will need to be put on hold for a few years.
It seems inevitable that the Florida Panthers will move due to their lackluster results on and off the ice, the defection of Detroit and Columbus to the Eastern Conference, and a new 32 team NHL on the horizon. Not to mention, the Tampa Bay Lightning are doing well in Florida, and you can't have more than sixteen teams in each conference if there is a 32 team NHL. They could easily swap Columbus and Tampa in the next stage of realignment. The Florida Panthers are the odd team out. If so, one might ask, why not just move them to Quebec?
First of all, if anything has shown us from the Winnipeg return, is that Canadian fans will sell out those arenas. Quebec fans are hungry for NHL hockey, and be it a relocated team or expansion team it will succeed at the box office. The league wants NHL hockey to succeed in Kansas City. That would be easier to accomplish with an already established franchise as opposed to an expansion team. The fans have a better chance of not waiting as long for success. The city has the arena with the Sprint Center. This arena has regularly hosted preseason NHL games and has had more success every time. There is an already established geographic rivalry with the St. Louis Blues. Kansas City has already flirted with three different NHL franchises threatening to relocate, the Penguins, Islanders, and Predators. The NHL powers that be have expressed interest in the Kansas City market as well for a while.
Seattle will get a new team. It's a matter of when and not "if". Quebec also seems to be ready for a return. Here is a 32 team realignment scenario with the newly branded Arizona Coyotes and the other teams I mentioned.
Lemieux: NYI, NYR, NJD, PHI, PIT, TB, CAR, WASH
Orr: BOS, MTL, TOR, DET, BUF, OTT, CBJ, QUE*
Howe: CHI, STL, MIN, DAL, WPG, COL, NASH, KC(Fla)
Gretzky: LA, SJ, ANA, VAN, EDM, CGY, ARI, SEA*
I'm not happy about NHL hockey remaining in the Arizona desert. But with this vote, it appears as if they will be around for the next fifteen years. Or five years depending on what happens. As I was not thrilled with the realignment plan, I cannot do anything about it. I, like all other hockey fans, have to wait for the next phase of their "grand design". I can only hope when they are ready to expand to thirty-two teams, it resembles the above plan. I'm only trying to do my part, for whatever that may be worth. Please do the right thing. For everybody involved.

Pauline Hanson plans return to politics
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- March 07, 2013
PAULINE Hanson has wasted no time in attracting her usual brand of controversy, stirring the gay marriage debate during an interview with Kyle and Jackie O this morning.
In one of her first interviews since announcing her plans to return to politics, the One Nation co-founder surprised no one when she announced she was against gay marriage as well as gay adoption and IVF for gay couples.
''What a person does behind their own closed doors is their own business, but the fact is I don't agree with gay marriages, or gays adopting children, or in vitro fertilisation, and I have a lot of gay friends that agree with me, and that's my view on it,'' Hanson said earlier today.
Asked then about gay couples raising children, Hanson railed: ''But then you look at the child, have they been asked? You have a man, and then you have a woman, that's what it's all about. You think of the children as well.''
Sandilands cheekily then asked: ''Pauline have you ever been in a lesbian relationship?'', to which the flame-haired, former chip shop owner replied, ''I can't even believe you're asking me that question.''
The former One Nation leader today revealed she is planning to run in this year's federal election.
Ms Hanson says she believe there's no "representation'' of Australian life and people in Parliament.
"I'm going to put my hand up. I'm going to apply for the job and hopefully the people think that I'm the best person for that job to represent them,'' Ms Hanson told the Seven Network.
Ms Hanson said the rising costs of electricity and the 457 visa system are the issues which concern her most.
"Water is a huge issue in this country and that needs to be investigated, along with the costs of electricity. I don't think the government is doing enough to understand that people are hurting,'' she said.
Ms Hanson, who served in federal parliament from 1996 to 1998, said her political comeback was "not about revenge''.
"I went to jail, it took me over two years to get over, and it's that determination that I feel can keep me going. Why give up for something I feel that is right,'' Ms Hanson said.
Ms Hanson narrowly missed out on a spot in the NSW upper house in 2011.
She said she had lost on preferences before because politicians didn't want "someone like me in there who's going to bring them to accountability''.

Pauline, you are a joke in Australian Politics. There is no effect whatsoever you can have on the national debate other than to embarrass Australians by your racist and extreme views. When you are defeated again, please stay out of politics forever.

SCHOOLCHILDREN in the US should steer clear of energy drinks, and go easy on the calorie-rich sports drinks too, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned this week. The academy's report is the latest attack in the battle to stop children consuming "empty calories" from sweet drinks in school vending machines.
Although the drinks industry agreed to phase out sugar-rich sodas in 2006, this has been offset by a surge in the consumption of sports and energy drinks. "We know caffeine and other stimulants in energy drinks raise blood pressure, cause insomnia and can be addictive," says Marcie Schneider of the academy's Committee on Nutrition, and co-author of the report (Pediatrics, DOI: 10.1542/peds.2011-0965). "There is no reason for a child to consume an energy drink," she says.
The report warns that some energy drinks contain more than 500 milligrams of caffeine, the same as in 14 cans of soda. Sports drinks are also unnecessary in schools except following prolonged sessions of an hour or more, says Schneider.

Eastside coach Jason Stokes tries to keep his players from reading their own headlines. It's got to be one of the toughest things the longtime coach has to deal with.The Eagles are ranked No. 1 in Class AAA by PrepCountry.com, have won nine consecutive games and are on a short list of state title contenders after a convincing sweep of Dunwoody in the first round. "I hadn't even looked at a paper myself. I'm hoping the rest of the girls are doing the same," Stokes said. "I haven't told them what we're ranked; (the coaching staff) keep them busy, we've been practicing every day, trying to keep them focused." That shouldn't be a difficult task with Ridgeland coming to town. The Panthers are coming off two shutout wins over White County in the first round, and of their seven losses, six are by one or two runs. Stokes also is wary of Ridgeland, ranked No. 6 in Class AAA, because of the similarities to his own team. "They sound a lot like us - good pitching, play good defense, got a good catcher behind the plate," Stokes said. "(But) they rely a little more heavily on the long ball, I think." Neutralizing the home run threat is a much easier task when someone like Amanda Henderson is in the circle. The senior right-hander had another fine season, and in the first-round sweep, she threw a no-hitter in Game 1 and pitched a shutout in the nightcap. Stokes is also confident in a much-improved defense, which has taken nearly the entire season to gel with players learning new positions. "You feel like you can win every game, no matter who we're playing against. You feel like you have a chance to win, which is always comforting," Stokes said of Henderson. "Earlier in the year, we were making all kinds of mistakes (on defense), mental and physical. The more we played, the more we got comfortable and you can see the confidence in the way we play. I've been real pleased. We don't play defense we don't win, just like we don't pitch we don't win." Trying to avoid the rain that blanketed the area over the past week, the Eagles moved the second-round series from Friday to today. The teams will play the first two games starting at 2 p.m., and, if necessary, the deciding game after that. Kurt Aschermann Jr. can be reached at email@example.com.
