UNDERGROUND RAILROAD TRIP TO OHIO & KENTUCKY–Oct.23-26, 2015
Single-$430–Dbl–$325 each
During this exciting 4 day 3 night adventure we will either visit or learn about the following Cities:
|Ohio Cities:
New Richmond
Point Pleasant
Red Oak
|Kentucky Cities:
Oct. 23-FRIDAY The beginning of our "WOW ADVENTURE" happens at 9:00 AM from the Military Museum in Eastpointe. As we drive south on I-75 we will introduce ourselves, (optional) go thru Stewart's handouts, watch relevant videos and have lunch on bus. Please bring your own lunch for the first day. Stewart will have plenty of soft drinks, water, snack stuff, apples and "sweets' for your pleasure. Our 1st official "stop" (we will stop for restroom breaks when time permits) will be driving by the home of Paul Lawrence Dunbar in Dayton.
Our 2nd stop will be Wilberforce University—the oldest private historically black college in the USA. We will learn about some UGRR stories here and see the home of the 3rd Black Man who went to Westpoint(Charles Young). (we will see the home that he was born in when we get to Kentucky)Our 3rd stop will be Springboro, where we will visit a B & B which once served as a "station"on the UGRR. In that home we will see a secret hiding place where fugitives could hide if necessary. Springboro once had over 20 homes that were on the UGRR & we will see(outside only) many of them. We will then check into a Motel 6 where we will be spending two nights. & dinner will be at a Cracker Barrel.
Oct. 24-SATURDAY- Our 1st highlight today will be driving near the beautiful Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati ("Cinci"(2nd largest Cemetery in the USA) & we will learn about the final resting places of two very famous abolitionists: Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase & Levi Coffin—a former "President" of the UGRR. Our 1st stop will be the home where Harriet Beecher Stowe stayed in Cinci. She wrote the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Our next stop will be lunch at a choice of restaurants in downtown Cinci. In the afternoon we will see one of the highlights of the trip:—The fantastic FREEDOM CENTER on the banks of the Ohio River in Cinci. You will never forget the sight of the SLAVE PEN! etc. About 5:00 we will cross the Ohio River to Covington, Kentucky. There we will see a historical marker which details the horrors suffered by Margaret Garner (and her children) on their attempt to gain freedom. Dinner will be at a choice of restaurants (very German area) in Covington and then return to our motel in Ohio.
Oct. 25-SUNDAY- In the AM we will drive along the Ohio River. seeing romantic, historical, & relevant towns in Ohio associated with the UGRR, etc.(Richmond, Pt. Pleasant, Moscow, & RIPLEY!). In Ripley we will enjoy lunch at a choice of restaurants. After lunch we will tour Main Street, then we will visit the John Parker Home—an incredible man!! We then will climb Freedom Hill—-(taking that walk is optional) to the famous John Rankin Home. (William Lloyd Garrison was inspired by RANKIN!!!) After Ripley we cross the Ohio River and. you will have a chance to take a ferry boat across the Ohio River to experience first hand the emotions of those fleeing & very brave fugitives in the 19th century. We then enjoy a buffet dinner at the quaint. Parkview Restaurant in Augusta, Kentucky. ($15 includes everything). The county is dry, but, BYO is allowed! From Augusta you can see John Rankin's home at the top of the hill in Ripley, Ohio.. Many enslaved people living in Kentucky longed for their day to climb that hill. As time went on Ripley, Ohio along with John Rankin, John Parker and a host of others from Ripley escorted or gave directions to thousands of refugees.
Oct. 26-MONDAY- Today, at 8:45 AM we met the ONE AND ONLY—-JERRY GORE!! He is the ultimate HISTORIAN, SINGER, STORY TELLER, COMEDIAN & GREAT GUY! He will lead us on a tour of quaint Washington. This village of Washington has LOTS OF HISTORY.! Walking around this historic place seems to take you back 200 years. It is so quiet and relaxing. It does not have all of the commercial activity so many historical places seem to have. By far the most historical event in Washington (according to me-Stewart) is —this is where Harriet Beecher Stowe first saw enslaved people being sold and it horrified her! At that point she became determined to write a book about that experience—the RESULT—-UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.
About 12 miles from Washington we will see a home that was the birth-place of the 3rd Black Person to be accepted at Westpoint. Remember, we saw another home that this proud Westpoint Cadet lived in when we were in Wilberforce. Finally, our wonderful guide Jerry Gore will take us on a tour to see the charming and HISTORICAL town of Maysville. Located on the Ohio River it was like an interstate highway in the 1700′s and 1800′s.-
Check this out!!!!!!—
- In 1803 Meriweather Lewis (of the Lewis & Clark Expedition) picked up the famous (also infamous) John Coulter enroute from Pittsburgh to Louisville where he met William Clark.
- Lafayette made a trip back to the United States from France about 45 years after his French Army helped George Washington win The American Revolution. He made a long trip down the Ohio River where he stayed in Maysville.
- Thorton Blackburn was born here. He and his wife Lucie escaped slavery in Louisville and became famous in Detroit & Toronto. He had the first taxi cab in TORONTO!!
- Jerry Gore will fill us in on lots of other stuff on tour day.
About 11:45 AM we will enjoy lunch at a choice of restaurants. After lunch we say goodby to the charismatic Jerry Gore, and get on the bus, and start driving north. We will pass sites with UGRR connections, but, only making passing references to them. We will make a brief stop in Wellington (the famous Wellington raid really put OBERLIN ON THE MAP!!) and when we get to OBERLIN—our last MAJOR STOP OF THE TRIP we will learn about its history and some of the AMAZING PEOPLE who walked on this campus. Dinner may be in Oberlin, Sandusky, or Toledo (maybe Tony Packos in Toledo!) as I cannot predict our timing for this day.
I hope we are back to Eastpointe by 8:00 PM —-but, it may be close to 9:00 PM
*CINCI—this stands for Cincinnati

Mountain Village: very pricey
We had a Monday lunch in this hotel. It was really good. A buffet salad to start. Then soup (choice of two). A main course (choice of 3-4) and then dessert. Coffee was included as well.
But here's the rub - 27,000 Tsh. With a bottle of water, my share was 35,000.
Very expensive.
The setting is wonderful. A colonial style building in lovely grounds overlooking Lake Duluti.
Great if you don't mind paying.
Favorite Dish: The pork medallions.

- Luxury Travel
Patisserie: Food and Internet
Located near the main round about on Sokoine Rd, the Patisserie sells lots of food items and has Internet at an ok price. Food items appear to be baked on site with a large kitchen out the back of the shop preparing fresh goods for sale.
It's a clean place in the middle of a rather dirty city and also has toilets if you need a pit stop. The shop also has plenty of bottled water for sale.

Khan's Barbeque: The ultimate food experience in Arusha!
An auto spares shop that at night is converted into a restaurant that serves grilled meat (chicken tika, beef, mishikaki, sheesh kebab, mutton), freshly baked bread (and nan), tasteful sauces and good salads.
Great atmosphere: the restaurant is loved by the locals, who gather there every evening, solo you'll not feel as being in a tourist trap.
No alcohol served.
Favorite Dish: Sheesh kebab accompanied by nan bread
Mac's Patisserie: Mac's Patisserie
The place to meet other travelers in Arusha, Mac's Patisserie is a bakery, restaurant and internetcafe.
The internet connection is fast and cheap (but can't remember how much exactly) and the food is very tasty, but unlike the internet it isn't fast... expect to wait 45 minutes.
Favorite Dish: I tried the 'Haabiz Leeza' that's chicken, yoghurt, cheese and rice. My boyfriend tried 'Karrai Chicken' with coriander and ginger. Both were very good.

French Folklore
I explore the legends that surround France and its lore. From it's creatures to the most famous knight Sir Lancelot.
Here's Sir Lancelot and Guinevere.
A piece of text that is about Huron of Bordeaux..
The Gargouille.
Jean de L'Ours
France is a favorite country of mine, mostly because of their history and their really good films. But now I'm looking at France in a different way than I normally do. It's legends and lore.
The body guard of Emperor Charlemagne in french medieval folklore. The warrior was so large that he threw the whole battalions like mowing grass. Aenotherus was from Turgan which lies near lake of Constance.
Huon of Bordeaux
Is the title of the epic Chanson de Geste. Huon is a knight who unwittingly kills Charlot (son of Charlemagne) and is given a number of impossible tasks to complete instead of death for his crime. For his sake all of these takes are finished and with the help of the fairy king Oberon.
Le Pere Fouettard
Is a character who accompanies St. Nicholas on St. Nicholas day dispensing lumps of coal and flogs naughty children. While he does that St. Nick is giving the well behaved children presents. A gruesome story about how he came to accompany St. Nick was he drugged three boys, slit their throats, had cut them in pieces, and stewed them. St. Nick discovered discovered the crime and had resurrected the children. Le Pere Fouettard repents and becomes the partner of St. Nicholas.
Sir Lancelot
A famous knight from Arthur's Round Table who first appeared as the main character in Chretien de Troyes, Le Chevalier de la Chanette. Lancelot is best known interestingly enough for the affair with King Arthur's wife Guinevere and for searching for the Holy Grail. He is very iconic in legends.
Pere Noel
Is the legendary gift-giver during Christmas Eve. In English he is Father Christmas and Santa Claus. Anyway according to tradition children leave their shoes by the fireplace filled with carrots and treats for Pere Noel's donkey. If the child is good, he leaves presents in the place of the treats for the donkey.
A spirit under the form of an animal, can be anyway animal really but is mostly the black cat. They are generally evil but in some stories it can be helpful. Like for example the story of the "magician cat" who said to bring wealth in a home if it is well fed.
Jean de L'Ours
A legend that originated from a village located in the Pyrenees Mountains. The story is about a woman and a bear who bore a child named Jean de L'Ours. His life involves defeating the devil, meeting new friends, and lives the rest of his life in happiness with his wife (a princess) and his mother. They all live in a castle far in the forest.
Reynard Cycle
Are fables that are largely concerned with Reynard, who is a red fox that is always portrayed as trickster. Like in most myths, fables, and legends, the fox always seems to be the trickster.
Lou Carcolh
A mythical beast that is both a serpent and a mollusk. It was massive and carried an enormous shell upon its back. Has very slimy tentacles and had a gigantic mouth that could swallow their victims hole. A not very pleasant sounding.
Dames Blanches
Were female spirits who were reported to live in the region of Lorraine and Normandy. They appeared in the Pyrenees Mountains. They lurked in narrow places like ravines, fords, and bridges. They would try to attract travelers attention and force them to do things in order to pass bridges. If the traveler refused to do what these female spirits say (such as dancing with them or to pass the bridge on their knees) then they were tormented by lutins, cats, and owls.
A serpent-like water-spouting dragon that appeared in the Seine River. It would terrorized boats and flood the lands near the river. St. Romain is said to have slaughtered the beast. Some legends say that the dragon was burned.
That is just some of the pieces of the rich folklore of France.

Hyper-V Program Manager
The VMRC client used by Virtual Server is a basic ActiveX control. This is very handy for integrating it into your own custom client application. Starting with a blank Windows Application project under Visual Studio .NET 2003 you will need to select: 'Tools' --> 'Add / Remove Toolbox items' --> 'COM Components' --> and then check 'Microsoft Virtual Server VMRC Control'
Once you have done this you should select the 'Data' section of the Toolbox and add the 'Microsoft Virtual Server VMRC Control' to the Windows Form. You will then need to change the ServerAddress, ServerPort and other properties appropriately. Really quite simple:
It is also fairly easy to configure the Windows Form to resize automatically to the size of the virtual machines display with a piece of code something like this:
Private Sub AxVMRCClientControl1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxVMRCClientControl1.Resize If Not Form1.ActiveForm Is Nothing Then Form1.ActiveForm.Width = AxVMRCClientControl1.Width + 5 Form1.ActiveForm.Height = AxVMRCClientControl1.Height + 35 End If End Sub

i hate this product!!!!!! i thought it wud of clear my breakouts..... but it made it worst!!!!! i regret buying this! now i have to use something to clear my acne (neutrogena) i should of read the reviews first!
I recently had a couple zits and red marks on my forhead and t zone so I wash my face with that woke up the next morning my face was covered and oily and gross and I've never had acne this bad
I bought this when I ran out of my usual face wash, because I remember using it several years ago. I really regret buying it now. After just a couple uses, it made my face break out all over my forehead (an area that is usually completely clear!). Also, the pump on the top was broken, which is apparently a common complaint with this line. The exfoliating beads can also tear your skin and are awful for the enviroment! The plastic beads take forever to decompose and can be toxic for animals who may eat them. I really wanted to like this because the blue one smells AMAZING.
I bought it and used it for three days before switching. The first day I used it was good, after using it my skin felt clean and refreshed. The second day of using it my face felt tight and dry. The third day of using it parts of my face were red and burning..not just for a few minutes either, for hours. For a few days after that my skin was so dry that it was peeling/flakey in spots. After switching to a different product and lots of moisturizing for the last five days my skin is much better and back to normal. Will not be using it again.
The best against pregnancy acne! I pair this with my Clairisonic and together my pregnancy-related acne has drastically improved! I don't feel like crying every time I see a mirror now!
Had to search for an acne cleanser free of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, and this has neither!
I love this product. Waking up in the morning and washing my face with it definitely wakes me up and makes my skin feel great! It will however make your skin dry if you don't moisturize!
I'm sensitive to anything that says oil-free and foams, this does both.
I want to like this product so bad , but its just not for me . I agree it does leave my face very dry & tight afterwards & when i mosturize my face I seem to have a bit of burning sensation .Morning burst completely not for me . ;(
I've been using this cleanser for about a week. Every night, I use X-Out from Proactive and put Clearasil Acne Treatment Cream on my entire face. Then, in the mornings I use the Clean and Clear cleanser. My face has definitely had some improvement. I don't know if it's one of the products I'm using, or all of them together, but something is working.
I used this before I was even getting acne because my sister used this. It woke me up and left my skin so soft! Then, when I got acne I decided to try this. It made my skin feel energized and clean, but almost too clean. It left my skin dry and tight and kinda irritated. This doesn't help with acne, so the best people for this product are people who have oily, non-acne prone skin.

The Departed Is A Must See
The Departed is opening this weekend, and is already being called one of the year's best movies. We were lucky enough to catch a sneak peek this week and couldn't agree more! The movie stars Leo, Jack Nicholson, Marky Mark, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin and one of our favorites, Matt Damon. The word Oscar has been mentioned a lot already and it's only October. With a cast like that, we knew it was going to be fabulous!
The film directed by Martin Scorsese revolves around a powerful Irish-American Mafia boss (Nicholson) in Boston who places one of his brightest into the Boston Police Dept. undercover. Meanwhile, a young cop is given a similar task to run with the Mafia and bring them down. The violence was a bit too much to take at times, but who really cares when Matt and Leo are the main characters. There is never a slow moment in the film which promises to keep you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails. All in all there is something for everyone and you won't be disappointed, especially given the big twist at the end! It's one of those movies you can't stop thinking about even days later. Oh and did we mention Leo and Matt were in it? This movie is definitely the one to check out this weekend.
And because all the men looked so cute at The Departed premiere, here they are one more time. Just

You can do this trick to know if you have film loaded: I put the end box flap on the back of my cameras. If there isn't a film, I remove it.
We all have done that before. I remember when my father allowed me to use his Petri FT 30 years ago and I did just that to check if there was a film in there. Guess what: there was a new film already in there!
And congratulations on your "new" FM2! I bought a "user" FM last week. Very nice cameras. Unfortunately, mine needs a CLA as the shutter is tapering at the 2 highest speeds.

ANACORTES, Wash. — The Walla Walla Bruins put up three first-inning runs in the Washington Junior American Legion state baseball tournament championship game against Burlington here Thursday.
The Sox answered in the third with three runs of their own, took the lead with two runs in the fourth and ran to the 10-4 victory and the state title.
"Burlington was a very good ball club," Bruins coach Jason Parsons said. "They can hit, pitch and play defense.
"We made a couple of blunders defensively and it hurt our confidence, and we just couldn't pull out of it," he said.
Walla Walla got a single from Daniel Lake to lead off the game. Zane Henderson's single scored Lake from second, and scored himself on Luke Reardon's double down the left-field line to make it 2-0 Bruins.
Julian Zamora then doubled to right-center to score Reardon and make it 3-0.
After Burlington took the 5-3 lead in the fourth, Jarrod Needham led off the Bruins' fifth inning with a single. Daniel Camacho walked, and Henderson's single scored Needham.
The Sox scored three more runs in the sixth inning, and had solo scores in the seventh and eighth innings.
Zach Zehner started on the mound for the Bruins, pitching into the fourth inning when Lake relieved him. Lake finished the game.
Burlington finished with 13 hits, while Walla Walla put up nine.
"We're extremely proud of our guys," Parsons said. "Many thought this team wasn't good enough to even make it to the playoffs, and they had something to prove. We came together as a team and had common goals in mind.
"What a great bunch of kids to work with. They all have a promising future," he said. "We are definitely going to miss them."
The state tournament run bodes well for the entire Walla Walla American Legion, Parsons said.
"Fortunately, our Legion program as a whole has it rolling right now," he said. "The Bears had another successful season and the Griz were runners-up at state in single A.
"It's a great time to be a baseball player in the Walla Walla Valley."
Burlington 10, Walla Walla 4
Walla Walla 300 010 000 — 4 9 4
Burlinton 003 203 11x — 10 13 2

New York City-based NetGrocer Inc., a nationwide online grocery shopping service, signed a two-year advertisingagreement with Excite Inc. to be theexclusive supermarket featured throughout Excite.com.
New York City-based NetGrocer Inc., a nationwide online grocery shopping service, signed a two-year advertising agreement with Excite Inc. to be the exclusive supermarket featured throughout Excite.com.
"NetGrocer appreciates the unique marketing value of tapping into Excite's large and growing audience base and multiplicity of channels. Likewise, we believe the techno-savvy consumers who take advantage of Excite's search and directory services every day will appreciate the unique shopping convenience that NetGrocer offers them," said Daniel Nissan, NetGrocer president and CEO.
NetGrocer delivers non-perishable groceries to homes and offices within two to four business days through FedEx. Competitively priced brand name products are available, along with a variety of value brand items often priced 30% to 60% less. Shipping rates start at just $2.99 for orders under $50 and $4.99 for orders over $50.
"This agreement with NetGrocer extends our promise to consistently provide the best of content to Excite customers who both understand and demonstrate the value of e-commerce every day," said Brett Bullington, executive Excite vice president.
Separately, NetGrocer launched a direct-marketing channel called the NetGrocer Consumer Direct Network (CDN), offering access to market research and partnerships to promote products at the NetGrocer site.
"Rather than gambling on scattershot mass marketing on TV or even relatively refined point-of-purchase promotions at real-time supermarkets, CDN partners can shape their communications, promotions and marketing efforts online to precisely fit individual shoppers--whose privacy is completely protected--in ways never before possible," Nissan said.
While all contact goes through NetGrocer to protect customer privacy, marketing partners can specifically target would-be buyers based on purchasing history data collected digitally by NetGrocer.
Research services include purchase and demographic trend reports as well as customized questionnaires. They aim to help manufacturers understand product movement and specific consumer behavior while being able to judge consumer attitude toward and acceptance of new products or product line extensions.
NetGrocer marketing services are targeted at helping brand managers drive volume and increase market share through strategic and tactical customer acquisition and promotion on the NetGrocer Web site.
Advertising and promotion rights for NetGrocer marketing services partners include exclusive aisle sponsorship, interactive "frame-within-the-page" enhancements, and brand line "virtual" sections linked to individual product displays. Preferred section displays showing sponsors' goods first or largest, ad banners and transaction-enabling partners' Web sites linked to NetGrocer's are also included.
NetGrocer customer loyalty services can help partners quickly roll out value- added frequent buyer programs spanning brands, the company said. Services include email forwarding for customer feedback and promotions relay, piggybacking partner promotions onto NetGrocer's NetReward incentive program and an interactive customer "chat" forum for sharing product-usage tips.

The chief executive of Minnesota Fiber Exchange maintains his telecommunications business still could help Ramsey County build a fiber-optic broadband network for government work, despite the county's recent decision to drop the company as a business partner.
"Going forward, we still think we're a great model and a great opportunity for Ramsey County," John Schultz, CEO of Minnesota Fiber Exchange, said Monday, Nov. 5.
However, Schultz stopped short of saying his company would rebid for the project if the county opens up the process again. He declined comment on Ramsey County's decision to dump Minnesota Fiber Exchange as a partner in the multimillion-dollar project; the county board is set to take up the issue at a meeting Tuesday.
"I'll have to see what's said," he said.
The county began its relationship with the company several years ago. Ramsey County wants to build a super-fast Internet ring for its offices and to use it to sell Web access to cities, state government and schools.
Fiber optic cable moves data with light pulses through strands of glass. Data travel at the speed of light, making fiber optic exponentially better than cable broadband or DSL, and as the increased movement of large data files like video creates Internet traffic jams, experts say, it is the infrastructure of the future.
But one early estimate for building the network put the price tag at $30 million -- too expensive for the county to pay alone.
In exchange, MFE would get permission to lay its own network of fiber optic cable and sell access on that line to provide high-speed connectivity to businesses.
However, after months of negotiation, the county could not reach a contract agreement with MFE, a county spokesman said over the weekend.
At Tuesday's meeting, the county board is expected to tell the county manager to start over and rebid the project.
Comcast, the dominant cable provider in the state and a provider of broadband Internet to the city of St. Paul, has been an outspoken critic of the partnership. It says the county was putting taxpayer dollars at risk by seeking to own its own network, which could fail financially, instead of using services sold by broadband providers like Comcast.
Comcast also has argued that by seeking to sell high-speed Internet access to government bodies like St. Paul, Ramsey County is using taxpayer dollars to take away business from private entities like Comcast.
If the county reopens bids for the project using the same model it used for MFE, Comcast would continue to object to the project, Emmett Coleman, Comcast's regional vice president for government affairs, said Monday.
"It seems that the county remains intent on that plan," Coleman said. "And that continues to hold the same risk to taxpayers regardless of whether MFE is part of the equation."
Coleman said that if the county reworks its business model, "Comcast would be willing to be part of that discussion."
A spokeswoman for CenturyLink, which now provides Internet service to Ramsey County, said it was too early to say how the telecommunications company would respond to a new call for bids.

Bruins go old school
|02.03.10 at 1:24 pm ET
BELMONT ' Looking for some positive energy and a change of fortune, the Bruins got on the bus and went to school Wednesday.
Still mired in an extended losing streak following a 4-1 loss to the Washington Capitals Tuesday, the B's opted to practice at the Belmont Hill School instead of their normal practice rink in Wilmington.
'It's just a change of scenery, something a little different,' coach Claude Julien said. 'It's something [GM] Peter [Chiarelli] thought would be good for the team.'
Any kind of change for the B's will probably be a good thing as they prepare to end an eight-game losing streak hosting Montreal Thursday.
'It's fun, it's nice facility,' said veteran forward Mark Recchi who has seen struggling teams try every trick in the book to end losing streaks.
'We're just trying to work our way out of this, trying stay positive and to stick together,' said Recchi. 'Wherever we practice it doesn't really matter. We still have to stay positive.'
Skating on the Olympic-size rink at the school, the Bruins worked on finding ways to improve the team's offense. The B's have scored the fewest goals in the NHL, but are showing signs of starting break out of their scoring drought. They launched 42 shots at Capitals goalie Jose Theodore Tuesday.
'We had nine really good scoring chances in the second period and nothing to show for it,' Julien said. 'When you have nine scoring chances you should at least have a goal or two or three. That's where we are really getting hurt right now. Those scoring chances we're not able to bury them.'
Defenseman Matt Hunwick, who made a blind clearing pass that was intercepted and converted into the game-winning goal in Tuesday's loss did not practice Wednesday. Julien said Hunwick and forward Steve Begin had been given a 'maintenance' day off.
NHL Power Rankings 2/3
|02.03.10 at 12:12 pm ET
We have a new leader in Washington. Sorry, Mr. President and Scott Brown, it's your Capitals.
1. (3) 38-12-6 There's plenty going right for the Capitals, who set a franchise record with their 11th straight win by beating the Bruins Tuesday night. Getting a 41-save effort from Jose Theodore also could be a very good sign.
2. (1) 36-11-9 After dropping two of their last three at home, including a 4-2 contest to Detroit on Tuesday, the Sharks head east for for six games.
3. (2) 37-14-4 The Blackhawks followed an impressive win over San Jose with a loss in Carolina. Think there might have been an emotional letdown?
4. (4) 35-18-2 A little payback is a good thing. The Devils gave all-time shutout leader Martin Brodeur the night off and g0t blanked 3-0 by Toronto Tuesday.
5. (5) 32-15-7 After having his 16-game point streak stopped last Wednesday, Tim Connolly got right back to it. He picked up an assist in the Sabres' next two Sabres games over the weekend, giving him points in 18 of 19 games. Nice.
6. (10 ) 34-19-3 The Kings followed Saturday's shootout win over the Bruins with a 3-2 comeback win in New Jersey to complete a 5-0 road trip.
7. (7) 34-19-2 The Canucks are 1-1 after two games of a NHL-record 14-game road trip to accommodate Olympic play in Vancouver. The road show rolls into Boston Saturday.
8. (9) 34-18-5 Ilya Bryzgalov continues to shine. He made 25 saves in leading the Coyotes to a 1-0 shootout win in Nashville Tuesday.
9 . (9) 35-21-1 The defending champs have won four of their last five games.
10. (6) 31-18-6 The Avalanche ended a three-game losing streak with a 5-1 win over Columbus Tuesday.
11. (13) 31-21-4 The Senators' remarkable nine-game wining streak will be tested in Buffalo Wednesday. If they win, taking the division lead could be right around the corner.
Hot goaltenders contribute to B's woes
|02.02.10 at 11:29 pm ET
Boston has not seen its hockey team have a stretch this bad since the days when Vic Stasiuk used to lace up his skates at the old Garden in 1956 when the Bruins had a stretch where they went 0-8-0.
With an 0-6-2 record in its last eight games, this season's Bruins have not seen a win since beating the Western Conference leaders from San Jose on Jan. 14. It would have been odd to see the Bruins sandwich seven losses in a row with wins against both conference leaders, but it was not to be in a 3-1 loss to the Capitals on Tuesday.
Everybody knows what the problem is. There's no hiding what ails these bears ' they cannot score. Through the past eight contests, the Bruins have 12 goals, or 1.5 per game. After a stretch where the team simply did not play well, the Bruins have had decent efforts and good scoring chances in the past few contests and have run into some pretty good goaltending along the way. Why can't the Bruins score? It is kind of a chicken or egg type of question.
Julien: 'We deserved the win if we scored the goals'
|02.02.10 at 10:54 pm ET
It seemed very innocent and obvious when Bruins coach Claude Julien gave his team credit for battling the hottest and best team in the NHL to a 1-1 draw after two periods. After watching his team surrender three in the third, it became nothing more than another in a string of eight straight losses, 4-1 to Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.
In short, Julien said they deserved the win on Tuesday night "if we had scored some goals." Julien believed his team could have been up, 4-1, after two instead of tied.
And of course, deserving the win and earning the win is a bridge these struggling Bruins have yet to cross.
Here is what Julien had to say for his troops following Tuesday's setback, an eighth straight loss that gave them their longest losing skid in 54 seasons.
Bruins come up short against Capitals
|02.02.10 at 9:33 pm ET
Summary — The Bruins hung tough with the best team in the Eastern Conference on Tuesday but ultimately could not hang with the Capitals as they dropped their eighth straight game 4-1 in front of a sold out TD Garden. Brooks Laich had the game-winner for Washington early in the third period off a feed from Alexander Semin and Boyd Gordon added a goal later to break a 1-1 tie to start the final frame. Tim Thomas took the loss for the Bruins with 21 saves while Jose Theodore stood on his head at times stopping 41 Bruins shots. The eight game losing streak is tied for the second longest in Bruins history and longest since Dec. 22, 1955 to Jan. 12, 1956.
The Bruins struck in the first by taking advantage of a 5-on-3 power play at 6:58 when Marc Savard cross the puck to David Krejci on the baseline. Krejci bent his knee and whipped a shot back across Theodore's pads for the early lead. The score was Krejci's 10th of the year. The Bruins were able to keep the pressure on most of the period and outshot the Capitals 12-5 heading into the second.
It would not take long for Washington to come back. At 2:04 in the second Tom Poti broke deep down the left wing and crossed a pass to a crashing Mike Knuble who was able to beat Thomas out of position for the game-tying goal.
Then something happened that you do not see in regulation NHL hockey all that often — a penalty shot awarded on a shorthanded breakaway. With Marco Sturm in the box for holding, David Krejci found himself alone with the puck facing down Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore. Knuble caught Krejci from behind and hooked him a couple of times and Krejci missed the ensuing shot. The officials gave Krejci a penalty shot, which he subsequently missed wide right to end the unusual drama. It was the Bruins second shorthanded penalty shot of the season after Marco Sturm was unsuccessful against the Rangers Henrik Lundqvist on Jan. 9.
Three Stars
Brooks Laich — The Washington center scored the game-winner with his 17th of the year in the third period off a feed from Alexander Semin.
David Krejci — The Bruins second line center now has a two game point streak after his first period goal and though he was unsuccessful on the penalty shot he was able to put himself in position for the play and helped kill Boston's penalties on the night.
Tom Poti — The Capitals defenseman assisted on Washington's first and third goals of the night and now has two goals and 17 assists for the season.
Turning Point
The Bruins best chance of getting on top of Washington came in the second period when Blake Wheeler and Krejci had near open net chances against Theodore but were unable to slam the puck home. Wheeler had two points blank chances and Krejci missed on the follow up and the Capitals cleared the puck to end the threat. The Bruins would never really threaten Theodore for the rest of the game.
Key Play
Semin was able to redeem himself after taking three penalties through the first two periods when he founds the puck in space off the half wall in the offensive end and flipped it through the circle to Laich in front of Thomas. Laich let go of a wrist shot that beat the Bruins goaltender on the stick side for the game-winner at 5:04 in the third.
Capitals knot it up, Bruins hang tough
|02.02.10 at 8:46 pm ET
It did not take long for the Capitals to come back. Washington came out for the second period and was able keep the pressure in the Bruins zone and turned the aggression into a game-tying goal at 2:04 when defenseman Tom Poti carried the puck hard down the left wing and centered to a crashing Mike Knuble. Boston goaltender Tim Thomas was not quick enough across the crease and the Capitals were back in the at a goal apiece.
Then something happened that you do not see in regulation NHL hockey all that often — a penalty shot awarded on a shorthanded breakaway. With Marco Sturm in the box for holding, David Krejci found himself alone with the puck facing down Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore. Knuble caught Krejci from behind and hooked him a couple of times and Krejci missed the ensuing shot. The officials gave Krejci a penalty shot, which he subsequently missed wide right to end the unusual drama.
The Bruins still had to kill off Sturm's penalty and he was joined by Patrice Bergeron at 11:09 to give Washington a :19 second two-man advantage. Boston killed off both and were able to turn around and put some pressure on itself a couple minutes later. Alexander Semin took went to the penalty box for a hook (his third penalty of the game) after Blake Wheeler and David Krejci had multiple opportunities against Theodore that Washington was able to thwart. Boston had more opportunities on the ensuing power play with Bergeron hitting a post as the Bruins rained shots on goal.
After the rocky start to the period, the Bruins have stayed tough and stayed within their game and have been able to generate shots and keep Alex Ovechkin from causing any havoc on the ice.
Second period shots (total):
Bruins 16 (29)
Capitals 12 (17)
Bruins use power play to gain momentum
|02.02.10 at 7:46 pm ET
The Capitals are giving the Bruins some power play chances early. For once, Boston has been able to capitalize.
The Bruins got on the power play early when Washington center Nicklas Backstrom went to the box for a hold at 1:04. It was for naught though as the Bruins' Blake Wheeler gave the man-advantage back with an interference call at 2:16. The Bruins may have lost the opportunity but were able to kill the rest of Wheeler's penalty to get back to even strength.
Minutes later, the Bruins found themselves with a golden opportunity to jump on the best team in the Eastern Conference. Capitals' forward Matt Bradley went to the box for a hold and was joined 1:12 later by Alexander Semin on a high stick. Boston wasted no time with the two-man advantage as seconds later Marc Savard crossed the puck across the crease to David Krejci on the baseline. Krejci bent his knees and torqued a shot back across Washington goalie Jose Theodore's pads to the back of the net for a 1-0 Boston advantage.
The Bruins are doing what they need to do — putting pucks in front of the net, keeping the pressure on and limiting the explosive Capitals chances. It has resulted in a significant shot advantage and, most importantly, a one goal lead heading into the second period.
Bruins – 13
Capitals – 5

Here's how MNSBC's Andrea Mitchell just described Tom Ridge's statement that the Bush administration played around with terror alerts and threat levels for political purposes:
"Former Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge is accusing former Bush officials of trying to use the politics of fear to get President Bush re-elected in 2004."
This is a grotesque understatement. Ridge's claims, if true, don't merely mean that Bush aides tried "to use the politics of fear" to win re-election. They mean the Bush administration put American lives at risk in order to win votes.
Baselessly screwing around with the terror alerts make people take them less seriously. If there is any merit at all to those alerts, their efficacy is lessened by the actions the Bush folks allegedly took.
Describing that as simply "using the politics of fear" is absurd. Saying "If you vote for the other guys, they won't keep America safe" is "using the politics of fear." Changing the terror threat levels for political purposes is reckless and dangerous; an abdication of their responsibility to govern according to the public interest rather than their political interest.
But to media elites, it's just a question of whether maybe the Bushies got a little rough in the way they practiced politics. Nonsense.
UPDATE: This attitude, by the way, helps explain the major media's reluctance to "look back" at what the Bush administration did. They seem to think it's no big deal; the Bush folks were just a little too aggressive politically. Well, no, that isn't really the problem at all.
We already noted how the WashPost wrote around the good news approval ratings it found for Obama. So of course polling partner ABC News signed off on the same strategy. (They don't call it The Village for nothing.) And so that's why ABC doesn't even mention Obama's 57 percent approval ratings until the tenth paragraph of its dispatch.
The ABC article was written by ABC's polling chief, Gary Langer and this was the bad-news lede:
Public doubt about health care reform has grown as the debate's raged this summer, with a rise in views it would do more harm than good, increasing opposition to a public option - and President Obama's rating on the issue at a new low in ABC News/Washington Post polls.
Please contrast that to this ABC report which Langer himself contributed in August of 2001, when the news outlet had fresh polling data regarding President Bush. This was Langer's first line:
After wobbling a bit earlier this year, President Bush's job approval rating looks to have stabilized at 59 percent.
Got it? When Bush landed a 59 percent approval rating in August of his first term, that was the lede; that was the news. And it was good news. His ratings had "stabilized."
Fast-forward to the August of Obama's first term. When he landed a 57 percent job approval rating, that was definitely not the lede for ABC News. And Obama's 57 percent was certainly not portrayed as good news.
Behold your liberal media at work.
Steve Benen makes a good point about the ubiquity of Sen. John McCain on the Sunday morning talk shows this year. And the point is this: The guy lost in November, and since when does the Beltway press dote on losers?
Apparently there are new rules for McCain because the Arizona Republican's scheduled to appear on ABC's This Week. It will be his 11th Sunday morning talk show appearance in eight months, but Chris Cillizza at the WasPost still thinks the sit-down is a very big deal. He thinks it's "Must Watch TV."
But why? Set aside the fact that McCain recently lost in a electoral landslide last November. The hot issue on the table right now, of course, is health care. And as Benen points out, McCain is pretty much the definition of a non-player in the health care debate right now:
He's not a member of the Republican leadership, and he's not on the Senate Finance Committee. McCain hasn't unveiled any relevant or important pieces of legislation, and he's not being targeted as a possible swing vote on any major bills.
McCain is a spectator in the health care debate, plain and simple. But ABC News is eager to have him on to pontificate about legislation over which he has virtually no say, let alone control.
But back to the loser angle real quick. Again, after Sunday, McCain will have made eleven Sunday morning talk show appearances this year. Asks Benen, "Refresh my memory: was there this much interest in John Kerry's take on current events in 2005?
Answer: There was not. In 2005, between Meet the Press, Face the Nation, This week, Fox News Sunday and CNN's Late Edition (which has basically morphed into today's State of the Union), John Kerry made a total of three appearances on those program during the first eight months of 2005, according to a search of Nexis.
Or, to put it another way, after Kerry lost in November, the press walked away from him. After McCain lost in November, the press still crowds around him.
This recent Politifact item claimed it was "false" that there was overwhelming support for a public option in proposed health care reform.
Actually, Politifact found an NBC/WSJ poll which clearly supported that claim. Politifact found the NBC/WSJ poll which indicated 76 percent of Americans support a public option.
But there was a catch. The NBC poll was from June ("a long time ago") and therefore it didn't really count:
Since that poll was published, rowdy town hall meetings and a barrage of criticism have made Americans more skeptical of health care reform. The public option has become less popular as well; several surveys done since that first NBC/Wall Street Journal poll indicate declining support for a public plan.
Here's the wrinkle for Politifact. A new poll out this week by SurveyUSA, using the exact same question NBC/WSJ asked in June, found that 77 percent of Americans support a public option. Or, pretty much exactly what NBC found in June.
Time for a Politifact update?
From The Wall Street Journal's August 21 article, "AARP Takes Heat Over Health Stand":
WASHINGTON -- AARP thinks U.S. health care needs a sweeping overhaul. Problem is, a lot of its members don't agree.
That is putting the 40-million-strong organization of older Americans in a tight spot. It is fielding a flood of calls from worried seniors and battling rumors about President Barack Obama's health push, which it supports.
"They try not to enrage one group, while still being a player and pushing for progressive reforms," said Rick Mayes, a public-policy professor at the University of Richmond who once worked for AARP. "They're constantly trying to walk this tightrope."
Mr. Obama cites AARP's backing as an irrefutable seal of approval, saying the group is "on board because they know this is a good deal for our seniors." But in a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 46% of people over 65 were against the Obama health plan, with 28% favoring it.
AARP concedes that 60,000 members have resigned since July 1 over the health-care push. "This effort hasn't been easy," Chief Operating Officer Tom Nelson wrote in a memo to staff last week. "In fact, it's often rough emotionally when some people have been hostile."
Media reports on AARP membership losses due to health reform support ignore relevant details
We noticed this charade earlier this summer; a major news org released poll results that didn't match the Beltway press' preferred storyline about Obama's plunging approval ratings. We noticed how journalists then did their best to camouflage the results. Because c'mon, everybody knows today the White House has completely lost control of the health care debate this month. Everybody knows the public is turning on Obama as he approval rating flirts with 50 percent. That's the script.
But uh-oh, the new ABC/WP poll came up with a different results. What were staffers going to do if their poll didn't mirror what all the cool kids were writing? (Awkward!) How were they going to hold their head high and write a straight news lede about how Obama's strong poll numbers were holding steady this summer?!!
Easy. They simply spun the result and buried the lede.
Behold the wizardry of Dan Balz and Jon Cohen. They knew what to do with the embarrassing poll results:
Public confidence in President Obama's leadership has declined sharply over the summer, amid intensifying opposition to health-care reform that threatens to undercut his attempt to enact major changes to the system, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Smooth. The Post suddenly doesn't care about Obama's approval ratings. (So passé.) Nope. Instead, it's all about "leadership" and "faith," which meant Balz/Cohen could emphasize how Obama had slipped in that category.
Well, sorta [emphasis added]:
Among all Americans, 49 percent now express confidence that Obama will make the right decisions for the country, down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark in his presidency.
Extra smooth! Rather than inform readers whether people have lost confidence in Obama's leadership since July or June, Balz/Cohen reach all the way back to May to make his comparison. The duo used figures from Obama's traditional honeymoon period when new presidents enjoy artificially high ratings, to compare with how he's doing today.
As for Obama's strong 57 approval rating? The Post got to that in the seventh paragraph. But the fact that Obama's approval rating remains statistically unchanged since July? Amazingly, Balz/Cohen somehow forgot to report that fact.
Shocking, we know.
Hmm, maybe if Kenneth Gladney's attorney weren't so busy appearing on sympathetic media outlets telling tales about union "thugs" attacked Gladney outside a recent town hall forum, embarrassing mishaps like this wouldn't be producing so many chuckles .
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
A conservative African-American social networking group set out Monday morning to criticize the city's NAACP chapter for not supporting a black man who said he was beaten outside a forum on aging earlier this month.
But the effort was cut short when the head of the civil rights group showed up at the news conference and said that no one had asked the NAACP to investigate the claims.
"The St. Louis branch of the NAACP will and does accept and investigate all written complaints filed with us, regardless of the complainant's ideology," said Claude Brown Sr., president of the St. Louis City NAACP. "We regret that a group has decided to protest outside our office before contacting us or filing such a complaint."
The other day, we pointed out that a Western Journalism Center video claiming that Rachel Maddow's statement on "Meet the Press" that MoveOn.org never ran an ad comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler was a lie because the ad in question was not commissioned by MoveOn but, rather, a submission to a 2004 MoveOn contest that was taken down after controversy arose about it and never ran anywhere as a paid ad.
The WJC has now responded by calling us liars, accusing us of "splitting hairs" and asserting that it "never claimed the ad was run on commercial T.V. We consider posting the ad on its website to constitute 'running the ad.' "
So a submission to a contest that was (briefly) posted on a website is the exact same thing as buying airtime for it on commercial TV? Interesting redefinition of "running the ad."
That's not "splitting hairs" -- that's comparing apples and oranges.
Further, the WJC video remains a work of lying by omission: It presents the Bush-Hitler video but at no point does it explain that the ad was a contest submission, never ran as a paid ad, and that MoveOn itself said that "[w]e do not support the sentiment" in it. The WJC post accusing us of being liars doesn't mention that either.
The WJC should try telling the full truth instead of redefining words to fit previous lies.

You may hear conflicting information about fake weed/synthetic marijuana,
where it's purchased, and how it affects your child.
Here's what you need to know:
Fake weed also known as K2/Spice, legal bud, and synthetic marijuana is an herbal mixture that contains dried, shredded plant material and harmful chemical additives. It's often marketed directly to youth through sales in 3-ounce plastic pouches decorated with colorful designs, including cartoon characters and recognizable logos. It's sold in gas stations and convenience stores as potpourri or incense.
