Posted by Lauren Yanez on May 22, 2012
In muscles, stamina, strength and size nothing comes close to the Bluefin Tuna. For many years the waters out of Prince Edwards Island in Nova Scotia was the place where these brutes gathered to feed on herrings and mackerels but then they more or less disappeared for decades. Thanks to strict commercial restrictions and management the monster tunas are back! Bluefin's exceeding 1000 and even 1500 pounds visit these waters and a carefully managed charter business is allowed to take sports fishermen out on the ultimate adventure — to challenge a giant Bluefin!
Thomas Petersen from kineticfishing.com and three of his friends took up the challenge and caught four Bluefin's over 1000 lbs!

Earlier this month there was panic in paradise. On March 31, Aloha Airlines, a 60-year veteran of Hawaii aviation, abruptly shut down, followed two days later by ATA, an airline known for cheap flights to four of Hawaii's islands. With those shutdowns, Hawaii lost 15 percent of its service from the mainland, or about 1.1 million seats annually.
Price gouging for travelers flying to or from the West Coast cities served by the airlines set in immediately, with stranded passengers quoted prices up to $1,000 for one-way flights out of Honolulu on other airlines. While ticket prices remain exorbitant for this week, as travelers stuck with worthless Aloha and ATA tickets scramble to get to or from Hawaii, looking forward, increases seem a lot less daunting.
The lowest average round-trip fares between the major cities affected—Los Angeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Francisco, and Honolulu—drop considerably for travel next week. The bad news is those fares are about $60 to $100 higher than pre-April prices, and they don't appear to drop any further for travel during the remainder of the year. You can expect those fares to spike by $200 to $400 for the usual summer high season between late May and late August, and by $200 for the December holidays.
If you're hoping to go to Hawaii this year, don't put off booking because you think you'll find a sale. "Now that ATA is gone [ATA had a price point of $100 to $200 less than the competition], the other airlines aren't going to lower their prices," says Rick Seaney, CEO of Farecompare.com, a consumer airline ticket research website. "You won't see any Hawaii sales in the near future—maybe at the end of the summer when the kids are back in school." With oil prices reaching new highs nearly every week, it's likely fuel costs will only drive airfare prices higher in the foreseeable future.
Thus far, other airlines haven't been eager to announce new transpacific Hawaii service, except Hawaiian, which plans to start Oakland-to-Honolulu service on May 1; and Alaska Airlines, which plans to introduce new Seattle-to-Maui flights in July. (Intra-island service is a different story.) "Right now there's not a huge incentive for airlines to add more Hawaii service," says Seaney. "Hawaii is not very profitable for airlines because so many passengers use their frequent flyer miles for free Hawaii flights." Without added capacity and competition on routes between Hawaii and the mainland, Seaney speculates the airlines will be tempted to gradually jack up fares.
That means this summer might actually be a good time to go to Hawaii. "I would go ahead and lock your fares in right now," says Seaney, who thinks $500 to $600 would be a reasonable low price to expect for round-trip tickets from the West Coast. "The good news about Hawaii is that it doesn't have the $1.50 euro. It's still a good value for the summer."

Piazza della Signoria
If you wish to visit the excavated ruins of the Roman theatre underneath the Piazza, guided visits can be arranged on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.
Appointments are absolutely required and can be made by calling 055-276-8224 or sending an email to email@example.com.
Most tours done only in Italian or Spanish. For visits in English please book well in advance. The cost of this 45-minute guided visit is an additional €2 when you purchase a ticket for the Palazzo Vecchio museum.
Piazza della Signoria is so-called because of the Signoria, the ruling body of Florence's Republic from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. The Signoria (not to be confused with signora, or "madam"!) was a group of nine men, known as priori, who were randomly chosen from a hat from the guilds of the city to rule Florence for two months at a time, locked inside the Palazzo Vecchio.
The area where we find Piazza della Signoria had already been an important square in the ancient Roman times, and was surrounded by a semi-circular theatre, Roman baths and later on, a church.
The unusual "L-shaped" piazza owes its form to a series of historical events starting from the second half of the 13th Century. At that time, two warring factions, the Guelphs and the Ghibellines were fighting it out all over Florence. And when the Guelphs finally took control, they razed 36 houses and towers of their rivals to the ground: on the so-called "damned" land, it was forbidden to build a single thing and salt was thrown all over the ground so that not even a blade of grass would grow. It was paved for the first time in 1385, officially making it the square that we essentially see today.
Ever since the early times when Florence began building that active and enterprising community that would characterize its long history, Piazza della Signoria has always been the symbol of civic life in the city, as opposed to the religious center which grew up around the cathedral. It has always been the focal point of the Florentine government and as such, this square has been witness to centuries of important events from public executions to visits by the most important Kings and Queens and leaders alike. At the ringing of the bells within the tower of Palazzo Vecchio, the Florentines would gather to listen and approve new laws or, perhaps to run, fully armed, ready to defend city institutions.
Some of the most significant executions of the city have taken place in this piazza. Some might recall a rather gory scene in the film Hannibal, which is set in Florence and plays on an actual historical event – in 1478 there is an assassination attempt on the Medici. Lorenzo the Magnificent escapes, but his brother Giuliano is killed, and the family responsible, the Pazzi, and their conspirators more than pay the price. Many – including some of the most well-known citizens of the city – are thrown out of the windows of the Palazzo Vecchio and left to hang for everyone to see and jeer at. Artists such as Botticelli and Da Vinci drew and painted the dangling corpses of the conspirators.
Florence in the 15th and 16th centuries found sculpture to be a very important way of promoting the government's image, representing the city's struggle for freedom, strength and courage, helping boost morale during times of unrest, or celebrate the victory of a new government thus creating what we see today as a magnificent open-air museum, with some of history's most important artists represented by their statues of heroic legends. The Loggia dei Lanzi is the arched, open fronted building next to the Palazzo Vecchio and is the perfect showcase for these sculptures although its original purpose was to be an elegant podium for public ceremonies.
The bronze statue of Perseus holding up the bloody head of Medusa is one of the best known sculptures in the loggia. Cellini recounts in his biography the trouble he went to for this sculpture, where, in the middle of a fever and running out of tin to bind the bronze to cast the statue, he begins to throw in pots and cutlery and anything else he can find from around the workshop, causing a fire along the way. In the end, several parts of the sculpture, which was being in cast in four separate pieces (Perseus, the head of Medusa, the body of Medusa and Perseus' sword) had to be recast several times before finally being fused together. Recent tests on the sculpture reveal that Medusa's head actually has a much higher percentage of tin than the rest of the figure.
Persus is accompanied by another masterpiece: The Rape of the Sabine Women by Giambologna. The dynamic, intertwined figures of his most famous sculpture, the Roman legend of the Rape of the Sabine Women were only named after he had completed the work, in fact the artist did originally intend to represent three interacting figures in movement, a mature man, a youth and a beautiful woman: taken by the younger man from the weaker older one. An impossibly beautiful and skillfully created work, carved out of just one single piece of marble, this sculpture competes with Michelangelo's David in being one of the most impressive studies of the human body in marble and a simple exhibition of the talent of the sculptor.

It was amazing! We got to this place and we were just stunned about it. The wide area, the ancient buildings and sculptures all gathered at one place. We strolled through the piazza and we were looking at these renaissance sculptures, the Palazzo Vecchio,.. and afterwards we enjoyed the whole scenery while sitting beside the Uffizis and listening to the street musicians. Just wonderful. When you get to Florence do not miss the opportunity to go there.

You could spend a good deal of time in this square alone while in Florence! The Loggia dei Lanzi is like a free, outdoor museum full of impressive sculptures. There is a spot on the ground in front of the fountain of Neptune where you find a marble plaque showing the exact spot where the preacher Savonarola was burned at the stake.

Take extra care when regifting. Carefully match a recycled present with the correct recipient, lest it immediately be put on that person's regifting list.
Sales nowadays seem perpetual, and push many shoppers to wait for last-minute deals. The turned the Saturday before Christmas into the year's busiest day.
Santa's sleigh isn't the only thing flying this holiday season. Manufacturers and governments are worried about safety around drones.
Despite an early start, sales data provided to the AP show that stores may once again have to rely on procrastinators to save the holiday shopping season.
Unsure which gift cards work for everyone on your list? Here's a look at the top 10 most-searched-for gift cards this year.
To get the lowest prices for your holiday shopping, compare different retailers' prices -- and also check the in-store price against its online price.
Christmas stockings, Hanukkah dreidels and Kwanzaa candles are among the holiday items proudly made in America.
Gift cards are immensely popular, but they're also a potentially losing proposition because we don't use them.
Whether your budget is stretched or you've had it with Christmas commercialism, there are simple ways to cut back on gifts without looking like Scrooge.
After record shipping volumes and bad weather last year caused many retailers to break their Christmas delivery promises, are they playing it safe in 2014?
Have music lovers, Pinterest addicts, kids, fashionistas and fans of the outdoors on your holiday shopping list? These American companies have great ideas.
Daily Finance contributor Erin Lowry takes you through her strategy for checking off your holiday list and saving money, all the while staying sane.
Walmart and Home Depot are using store lockers to hold items ordered online to reduce shipping cost and reduce delivery time.
The holiday shopping season is always a make-or-break period for struggling retailers. Here are four that could use a good holiday season.
Amazon and Procter & Gamble are plastering ads on bathroom stalls in several cities that let you continue shopping during your holiday bio-breaks.
You feel obligated to buy so much this month, but feel good in knowing where the best bargains are.
Though it may be tempting, TV deals can be deceiving. Try a 55-inch 4K Samsung. Is it worth $899 from Best Buy? Or is it a derivative that's worth less?
Target, Sears, Kmart, J.C. Penney and Radio Shack all have serious issues to confront in the make-or-break holiday shopping season.
Even though many stores are opening on Thanksgiving for bargain hunters, many are resolutely staying shut. Here's why.
We've made a list of advice and checked it twice. Start by developing a budget. Follow the steps in between. Succeed by knowing when to stop shopping.
Most Americans won't shop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. But those who do expect to spend $400 and $361 respectively.
Purchasing gifts online? Here are the best places to search for coupon codes that can save you serious money.
Some items advertised for Black Friday are not one-day-only great bargains. They were called that last year, too.
Men are more likely than women to hit cars, poles or people in parking lots, a new survey concludes, contradicting some common stereotypes.
Black Friday can be overwhelming. To help you make the most from the sales, we've busted 16 myths and dispelled all the holiday hype.
If you wait until Black Friday to start your holiday shopping, you're missing out on the best deals of the season. Let's look at bargain trends from 2013.
Expect changes in how you pay (by smartphone), when to find the best deals (toys on Black Friday) and how you'll cope (more cashiers).
In this month's list, you'll find turkeys, kitchen necessities, large appliances and gift sets. And you can't forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
It can be hard to execute some (or all!) of these actions, but remember you're saving to make the holidays special for your family and friends.

Dancing With The Stars
Who Will Win Dancing With the Stars Season 19? (POLL)
The Dancing With the Stars Season 19 cast was literally just revealed about an hour ago. So we're obviously way overdue for a winner prediction. Wild pre-dance speculation is part of the fun!
So who will be hoisting the fall 2014 Mirror Ball trophy in late November? Let's sort through the options.
Good Morning America put some pressure on Pretty Little Liars star Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy, saying they could be the couple to beat. Well, Val is certainly hoping to follow his brother Maksim Chmerkovskiy as Mirror Ball champion. Will 2014 belong to the Chmerkovskiy bros?
They have plenty of competition. Never rule out five-time champ Derek Hough and whoever he is paired with, especially if he is paired with an 18-year-old blogger with more than 7 million YouTube subscribers and close to 2 million Twitter followers. Youth, energy, social media popularity, Derek? It would be a surprise if Bethany Mota didn't make the finals.
But don't lock them in yet — Alfonso Ribeiro definitely has some moves, and not just The Carlton. As Kristyn Burtt noted in her 15-second dance scoop, Alfonso was a dance prodigy on Broadway and with Michael Jackson. Watch him tap dance at the 1984 Tonys, and see him with MJ. That was a long time ago, but when you have the moves, you have the moves. Plus, he has Witney Carson. They should be a fun couple.
But he's not the only one with some dance in his background. What about ballet dancer Lea Thompson, with new competing pro Artem Chigvintsev?
We also have an Olympian in Lolo Jones and we know athletes tend to do very well on DWTS; she's paired with new pro Keo Motsepe, and if they win over the audience, they could win over the season. At least one race car driver has won before too, and Michael Waltrip already seems to have a great Bill Engvall-ish relationship with pro Emma Slater.
Forever young Betsey Johnson will hopefully do some cartwheels on the dance floor, and Tommy Chong has swag for days, but we can't ignore that they are both in their 70s — they're going to have to be considered major underdogs. But DWTS fans do love underdogs! They also love positive attitudes, and Jonathan Bennett (aka Aaron Samuels of Mean Girls) was so adorably excited on DWTS. We'll have to keep an eye on him and new pro Allison Holker.
Cheryl Burke does tend to get the hunks and she has another one in Antonio Sabato Jr. Could he be her next Gilles Marini? We'll have to wait and see them in action. Tavis Smiley and Sharna Burgess and Randy Couture and Karina Smirnoff are also question marks. They could go in either direction.
But we're pretty sure Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas will be sticking around. She has a big, conservative fan base from Duck Dynasty, plus she's cute and sweet. She's like a cross between Mark's past partners (both Finalists) Bristol Palin and Candace Cameron-Bure. But hopefully Sadie has more dance talent than both (and more enthusiasm than Bristol the Pistol).
Do you have an early winner prediction? Last season it seemed pretty obvious that Meryl Davis & Maks were the couple to beat, and that turned out to be true. This season feels like it will be less obvious, which is probably a good thing. But it will all become more clear when we see them dance for the first time on Monday, September 15.
For now, here's a bold, out-of-nowhere prediction:
1. Sadie Robertson (Duck Dynasty star, 17) and Mark Ballas
2. Janel Parrish (Pretty Little Liars actress, 25) and Val Chmerkovskiy
3. Bethany Mota (YouTube blogger, 18) and Derek Hough
4. Alfonso Ribeiro (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor, 42) and Witney Carson
5. Michael Waltrip (Race car driver, 51) and Emma Slater
6. Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls actor, 33) and Allison Holker
That's obviously a wild guess, but we're giving this season to another lady celeb and male pro. Do you agree or will a male celeb win DWTS for the first time since Donald Driver in Season 14? Vote in the poll below and share your thoughts in the comments!
I think a male celeb will win this time!
I think a female celeb will win!

It is not a quiet affair. Set foot near it, and a dozen hands will reach out offering you things. "Nutmegs, nutmegs" you will be told, "Spices, spices" (nothing is ever said once). Much is familiar. There are bananas in abundance (but when is a banana a banana, and when is it plantain, or green fig, or bluggoe?) Tomatoes and cabbage look reassuringly normal, but what are the inflated light green hedgehogs? (Answer: soursops, from which a wonderful drink can be made.) And the huge assortment of vast hairy potatoes? (They could be yams, or sweet potatoes, or dasheen, or tannia, or...)
Even familiar fruits do not always look as they should. Cucumbers are abbreviated. Grapefruit are undecided about being yellow, settling for dirty greenish-yellow instead. (And they are much nicer than the flawless yellow ones you get at home.) Oranges are quite likely to be Seville, delicious for jam, less so for eating raw. Limes, guavas, nutmegs (yes, nutmegs!) and passion fruit can all be confused. Avocados are called 'pears', and are as likely to be purple as green.Look for what you eat in your hotel. You must have had callaloo soup. Did your fruit salad contain carambola (also used for cleaning brass?) Was the soup thickened with okra? Do you know an unsliced pawpaw when you use it?
Be daring. If they are in season, try french cashews, or sugar apples (looking like light green hand grenades.) The little fat bananas (rock fig) are delicious. Golden apples (not golden, and nothing like apples) are good, but beware the built-in dental floss.You need to watch your step: the ground is not even, and seldom visible: it is not a place for wheelchairs. Determined vendors somehow manage to push supermarket trolleys full of carrots, drinks and toilet paper around, seemingly eternally.

I leave the house when it is still fully dark and rarely see other cyclists on my commute, so Im always excited when I do. About 10 minutes in while traveling though a quiet section, I noticed a bike ahead of me with unusual looking lights. Since I wanted to say Hi, and have a chance to get a better look at this persons light set-up, I stepped up the pace a little.
As I was closing in I could see the rider was an older gentleman, his bike an English style 3 speed also plenty of years old. I run a bright headlight with a decent amount of throw, so was quite surprised when the rider never looked back, even as I slowly caught up and my headlight beam overtook him. When I was nearly alongside and called out Good Morning he didnt even look over or reply to me! Total snub job and quite unusual, especially for a non-roadie.
I ride this route several days a week. Thats a nice light set-up you have there I said, hoping he would tell me all about it as we continued on together. Instead, much to my surprise and dismay, still absolutely no reply. At this point I figured it would probably be best if I separated myself from this person who obviously wanted nothing to do with me. Slightly miffed at being totally snubbed, I say Oh well, have a good ride and ramp up the pace, taking the lead. As I do this I glance in my mirror just a few seconds later and he is gone! Just gone! There wasn't even a cross street or driveway to turn onto!
I never was able to detect the type of light(s) he was running that could produce such an eerie glow, and the fact that he seemed to just vanish astonished me enough to leave me tingling.
Then it dawned on me. I had just passed the cemetery! Could it be?

"Just imagine: You can take a trip downtown at lunchtime without a 20-minute buffer to find parking. Seniors can keep their freedom even if they can't keep their car keys. And drunk and distracted driving? History."
Google started its self-driving car project almost a half decade ago. And this week, the tech titan released a video of how far it had come along, showing willing participants driving around in a prototype (see video below.)
And the technology world erupted.
Google says it has capped its prototype at a speed of 25mph, no steering wheel, two seats (with seatbelts), start and stop buttons, and a screen to show the route.
But will it just remain a prototype with a hundred or so being released to a handful of excited geeks - just like with Google Glass? And where the world's infrastructure, society and laws are pulled into question if this piece of kit was to go on sale?
The Jetsons (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
But right now, it's a bubble car. A very ugly, round, cartoon-looking vehicle. You can imagine it taking off from the ground and flying into space like something from an episode of The Jetsons.
Google still has a long way to go to make it look sleek and sexy even if they plan to commercialise as a fleet of taxis rather than personal cars... it's about as far away from a black Mercedes as you can get.

If I could make my own planet it would be a blue planet. It's size would be just a little bigger than Earth. I would like it to be in between Earth and Mars. I chose that spot because I want it to be close to Earth so people can come and visit it. My planet would have gravity, air for us to breathe, and water. It would also have space animals like a space dog. I would name this planet "Dalia's Paradise!" I would name it that because it has my name and I would make it into a paradise for everyone! I hope you like my planet!!!!!!

If I could make a constellation, it would be called The Little Avneet. I chose that because I'm a little short, and because Avneet is my name. It would be shaped like a girl. Rigel would be at the top where the head is, and Betelguese would be at the bottom where the feet are.

Jet search cut short; new satellite spots objects
PERTH, Australia (AP) — Hints about the lost Malaysian jetliner piled up Thursday, but there was precious little chance to track them down. Bad weather cut short the hunt for possible debris fields from the aircraft as satellite data revealed hundreds more objects that might be wreckage.

Poetry and Popular Culture in Modern America
Exploring poetry scrapbooks, old-time radio show recordings, advertising verse, corporate archives, and Hallmark greeting cards, among other unconventional sources, Mike Chasar casts American poetry as an everyday phenomenon consumed and created by a vast range of readers. He shows how American poetry in the first half of the twentieth century and its reception helped set the stage for the dynamics of popular culture and mass media today.
Poetry was then part and parcel of American popular culture, spreading rapidly as the consumer economy expanded and companies exploited its profit-making potential. Poetry also offered ordinary Americans creative, emotional, political, and intellectual modes of expression, whether through scrapbooking, participation in radio programs, or poetry contests. Reenvisioning the uses of twentieth-century poetry, Chasar provides a richer understanding of the innovations of modernist and avant-garde poets and the American reading public's sophisticated powers of feeling and perception.
"Mike Chasar's brilliant, witty book is the definitive guide to the growing field of American popular poetry. Empowered by prodigious research and informed by thorough knowledge of the traditional poetry canon, Chasar's five chapters take us deep into the way poetry functioned in the lives of ordinary people." — Cary Nelson, Editor of The Oxford Handbook of Modern and Contemporary American Poetry
"An ambitious, serious claim on present-day literary studies, and a surprise and a delight. Mike Chasar combines the painstaking, arduous archival methods of real historians with the close analyses that we expect from literary critics, applied to verse, images, and informative prose ephemera. He persuasively links William Carlos Williams's innovations to roadside signs, the Iowa Writers' Workshop to the Hallmark card, and he may change how you see eminent writers' work. More than that, Chasar gets twenty-first-century readers to notice the uses that so many Americans, only a couple of generations ago, found for the poetry they enjoyed. Or, to take up a mode Chasar appears to be the first to analyze: THIS OLD-TIME VERSE/HAS LOTS TO SAY/IF YOU CAN READ IT/CHASAR'S WAY." — Stephen Burt, Harvard University
"Chasar shows us that if we can rethink our ideas about poets and poetry, we will find that poems have always been part and parcel of modern life. This is an important—really, a necessary—book for anyone interested in modern poetics, the history of reading, and the many appearances of poetry in the era of its supposed disappearance." — Virginia Jackson, University of California, Irvine
"A brilliantly written book, startling the reader with his thorough research and analysis of the evolution of poetry through the 20th and 21 centuries." — Sheila Erwin, Portland Book Review
"Highly recommended." — Choice
"The originality of Chasar's close readings, the sheer amount of research informing each chapter, and the speculations on what can be learned from such careful analyses of popular cultural practices make Everyday Reading not so everyday and well worth reading." — Lisa M. Steinman, The Journal of American History
"... Well-documented, thoughtful... The publication of Chasar's book fits our times and provokes futuristic ponderings." — Reception
"Innovative, important, and constantly successful." — David Levine, College Literature
"The lyric spring will never cease creating an emotional pressure, sought after by every searching consciousness--this is what Mike Chasar... has shown in his book Everyday Reading." — Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie
"Chasar's innovative and engaging study provocatively expands the archive for twentieth-century American poetry. His original research provides important documentary evidence of how poetry was shaped for use in everyday practice and how experimental writing effectively drew on that energy. He convincingly shows that American poetry in the opening decades of the twentieth century circulated among a number of different readers to a remarkable degree and left its traces in surprising areas." — Edward Brunner, author of Cold War Poetry

The Love Chase
by Felix Grendon
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
A young man of twenty-seven, a dashing Count d'Orsay type, was sitting astride a chair in flat number fifteen, one of the three-room flats in the Lorillard model tenement houses. He was alone in the room but evidently not in the flat, for he was directing animated remarks at one of two closed doors that flanked a projecting china cupboard.
"It's to be a masked ball, Cornelia," he was saying, "and I'm going as the head of John the Baptist."
Two feminine voices, one from behind the door, laughed merrily. Much pleased, the young man continued:
"Or I might go as a Spanish cavalier. The costume in Whistler's painting of 'Henry Irving as Philip II' would suit me to a T."
"Claude, I know what you're thinking of," returned a well-pitched voice behind the right door. "You're not thinking of the part of Philip II, but of the part of Don Juan, in which you expect to be irresistible."
"Gee," added kittenish tones behind the door. "It'd be a good sight better if he went as a penitent friar."
"Leading you attired as Salome, I dare say."
"Oh, no, I mean to go as St. Cecilia."
Claude burst into mocking laughter.

Pokemon-Shadow TriadPokemon-Shadow Triad by Ferix79
We had been abandoned as children. Cast out in the rain like dogs.
He only noticed us because of my middle brother.
Green hair, just like his son's, he said, and offered us an opportunity. He took us in, fed, and clothed us, and then one day, he presented us with uniforms.
"Wear these, so I don't have to look at your faces every day."
The green hair of my brother's that saved us was nearly our downfall, but every day we wore the uniforms, the happier he was with us.
Over the years we met this son of his. N, a strange name, I supposed, but his father's name wasn't the epitome of normal either.
N once saw us out of uniform, and ran away sobbing. We weren't reprimanded, but N was.
My youngest brother came back to our room that night with all the color drained out of his face. I asked him what was wrong, but he wouldn't say and went immediately to bed.
I'll never be sure of what happened that night.
But I am sure that we are loyal to Ghetsis, and only Ghetsis.

National Hockey League
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"What's that?"
The National Hockey League (American translation: NFL) is a form of Canadian street fighting on ice, best known for fighting, the Stanley Cup, fighting, Wayne Gretzky, Trevor Linden, Mark Messier, fighting, Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby, the FoxTrax puck, fighting, drunken Canadians, and fighting. Oh, and did I mention fighting? It is regarded by many as the worst-run professional sports league in the world, thanks in part to its decision to completely forget its core business (playing ice hockey) in favor of Commissioner Gary Bettman's favored pastime: being a jackass. Also, fighting commonly occurs during NHL games. Did I mention that? Of course I didn't. Also, despite the beliefs of some stupid Chicagoans, $300 for a standing room only ticket at a Stanley Cup Finals is reasonable. And fighting! I forgot to mention fighting!
Why It's Better Than European Hockey
The NHL is better than European hockey because it does not have French players. (The French are simply not big enough to play in North America, and in fact, their only option is to play in Sweden.If you need any proof you should look at Cristobal Huet) Also, the NHL has Morgan Freeman, and it allows fighting, prostitution, and nudity. Unfortunately, the nudity is now regulated: the NHL recently implemented an instigator rule that states fighters must seek permission in triplicate from their opponent and sign legal documents stating they will not sue in the event of an injury before punching them in the face. The highlight of any NHL game is a bench-clearing brawl, in which a typical hockey fight spreads to everyone in the arena, like a vicious (yet entertaining) plague. But recently the NHL decided that was too much fun, and it enforced strict regulations that make it almost impossible to start an entertaining fight. And, to ensure that European players wouldn't get their asses kicked, the bench-clearing brawl was replaced with a shootout following a scoreless overtime period.
Sasquatch takes NHL by storm
Sasquatch was drafted by Toronto 1st overall in 2001. He played his first career game against Montreal but managed no points. He did however, get his weener stuck in the goalie's mask and had to be carried out on a stretcher. After months in Penis Trauma Rehab, he came back to the NHL motivated and determined. His Mother (Mrs.Owl) and his father (Hannibal the Cannibal) were in attendance for his first game back. They were not disappointed with their sons performance. He scored 1 goal, had 2 assists and decapitated the opposing teams equipment manager with a Machete for the win. He was quickly becoming one of the top point producers and enforcers in the game. He challenged for the Art Ross Trophy and the Blood Thirsty Killing Machine award the following year. It was obvious that Sasquatch had serious potential, and when he was named Captain of the club on October 14th 2003, he took off. He took his team all the way to the Stanley Cup Final before losing to the Red Wings in 22 games. Sasquatch knew that was his final chance to win hockey's greatest prize. He was diagnosed with Slimey Hanging Itchy Testicles desease or SHIT a few months earlier. He knew he would not be returning to the NHL. He went into a deep state of depression and killed himself in The Notorious Felons League (NFL) at the age of 165. He was inducted into the Sasquatch Hall Of Fame on December 13th, 2007. Rest In Peace you son of a bitch!

The Criminals at Large
Divisional structure
The NHL is divided into two conferences and six divisions. The teams are arranged based on their relative favor with the powers-that-be. For example, Detroit is considered a favored team, so it was placed in the fluffy marshmallow that is the Central (i.e., Middle-of-Nowhere) Division. On the other hand, for icing one of the worst-ever hockey teams, Edmonton is considered an unworthy team, so it gets stiffed with the forest of cacti that is the Northwest Airlines Division. To make things more unbalanced, teams play against their own division a ridiculous number of times. This results in Detroit clinching its division by Christmas, while all five Northwest teams battle in a shootout on the last game of the season just to clinch a playoff berth. And its vancouver canuckleheads

You Bunch of Rookies
Following the regular season, the favored and unworthy teams play for the Stanley Cup. In the playoffs, roughly anything can happen, which has resulted in recent conference finals resembling the results of a coin-flip or d20 roll. This has had the unexpected effect of leaving favored teams playing golf in May while the unworthy teams get multiple cracks at the Cup.
The NHL is trying to resolve this issue by examining legislation that would allow players to leave their teams whenever they want. The NHL hopes this legislation will give favored teams the hint to sign all of the talented players and leave the unworthy teams with all of the stupid ones. This would make it almost impossible for unworthy teams to get past just the first round of the playoffs.
The Fans of the Criminals at Large
There are many types of fans in the NHL: distressed and delusional Edmonton fans, desperate Toronto fans, drunken Calgary fans, stonedand fucking annoying Vancouver fans, and pissed-off Canadians who think Quebec City and Hamilton should all house NHL teams.
There is also Rob, the only Phoenix fan, and Bob, the man who used to be Nashville's only fan. However, like most hockey fans, Bob was attracted by Canada, so he moved to Toronto, and Nashville is left, once again, with no fans.
Fans in Detroit are often given Stanley Cups in giveaways, largely due to the immense surplus of the trophy.
Looking to Expand
2009-2012 Expansion: HOLD IT. Then Fart slowly away.
Despite all of the failed expansion teams, the NHL is considering adding 10 more hockey teams. So, would you like to own a National Hockey League team?
- All you need is $2 billion dollars and a wife, whom everyone is allowed to play with!
- You must choose a color that the rest of the league will hate (not including the mandatory pink!), and you must choose a team name that is offensive to all religious groups.
- City size does not matter, as long as you can afford the bill! Good luck!
- However, the city must be located in a region that does not receive any ice or snow. Otherwise, the team will be fined $100 million for every inch of snow that falls.
- Even attempting to place a team in Canada will make Gary Bettman cry. He will sue you for enough money to create another team in a warm-climate city where nobody has ever heard of hockey.
- The only way to place a team in Canada is to first set it up in Atlanta. Then, after a few years of failure and obscurity, it can be moved to a Canadian city. At this point, it is optional whether to keep the current team name, or rename the team.
- It's worth choosing a logo that people can make fun of, because you can have fun screwing a poor bastard out of as much money as possible to wear the fucking thing.
Future of the NHL
In recent years, Gary Bettman has shocked the hockey world by deciding to carry out all his expansion plans in North Korea and shamefully but succesfully turn it into a crazed country, and shortly after was revered by many Koreans for his socialist approaches to the sport, and never came back stateside again. In exchange for Bettman's
good riddance absence, former president and Commie extraordinaire Kim Jong-Il has decided to take over as NHL Commissioner as first Asian head of a North American sports league. Him being in the dark confines of his cubicle at the NHL headquarters was a result of a total of 32929211043838 fans petitioning him on Facebook in order to help them regain their genuine love of hockey. The only downside is, Jong-Il's favorite team, the To-roon-to Red Stars have ended up winning the Stanley Cup since he took up office on December 21, 2012. Whoever objected to this got a big ass whooping and a free trip to the minors.
Since then, not only do the NHL teams have to play with each other, they also have to play with those rowdy Russians at the KHL, those douchebags in the NBA and those pansies from the UEFA. Portuguese male stripper Cristiano Ronaldo was the NHL's first signing from the UEFA league, as he got drafted by the Penguins 1st overall in 2020. Sidney Crosby, due to his incessant whining, got sent away to the Real Madrid Hockey Club shortly after upon Commish Jong-Il's request.
The (In)Famous Owner of the Present: Gary Bettman
Gary Bettman Sez
Hello, basketba...I mean, hockey fans! It's me, your ever lovable commissioner, Gary Bettman! Now, I know a lot of you might be concerned about this "over-expansion" and the "dying markets" in the Southern USA. Nothing could be further from the truth! Why, if the league didn't expand, we'd still be stuck with five teams! And really, who wants a team called the Wanderers? Exactly. Weeding out the old franchises and relocating the slightly successful ones is part of hockey. Why, thanks to expansion, owners are richer than ever, and we can all gloat that we have a super fair salary cap. Now, who can argue with that? Jim Balisillie, that's who! As for the future, under my rule, the NHL will expand from 30 to 72 teams by 2015...and all of them will be winners! That's right: no team will have a losing record! How's that for good basketball! Wait, I mean hockey. Yeah.
As for these so-called dying markets, look at those teams down there. Why, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Anaheim Ducks have both won Stanley Cups since I came to power. I AM A MEGALOMANIAC. Wait, that came out wrong. Oh well. The point is that all of the money is in the States. The Canadian dollar is worth what, two cents? So forget it, Hamilton. Winnipeg, see you later. Same to you, Quebec City. In fact, when Mexico becomes part of that good old US of A, we plan to move those dead franchises up north down there. Take the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. They're so old they should be playing with canes, not sticks! Hahahahaha!!! Yes, when the time comes, both teams will move down to Mexico, where I shall christen them the Tijuana Illegal Aliens and the Mexico City Mexiciens. (Note the creativity in the odd spelling; it will be used to keep some relation to the team's previous name). We'll be the first North American sports league down there. GO NBA! I MEAN NHL!
"Is it not obvious that the Phoenix Coyotes had somebody show up at one of their games last season? They are obviously a very successful franchise, and moving them to a place like Hamilton would only let them sell out all of our games. And I will not allow the NHL to sell out."
"Last season we installed a 3-point line in hockey. Now, we are going to allow referees to call technical fouls. Next year, we will eliminate skating, hockey sticks and pucks. And we will install basketball hoops, change the playing surface to wood, and look to hire more black players. That'll make the game more entertaining!"
"So, you see, there's nothing to worry about. With me at the wheel, the NHL will only grow stronger and stronger. ALL POWER TO THE OWNERS!"
"As you can tell, my hero is "Dollar Bill" Wirtz, to whom I gave my first born daughter - my second born daughter went to Sean Avery, hence the term, "sloppy seconds"!"
"Never before in the history of hockey..." (Mentioned every year during the Stanley Cup presentation, whether history has been made or not)
- Loves the NBA so much he calls the NHL the "NBA II."
- Hired by the Taliban in 1990 to terrorize Canada.
- Shaved his Middle-eastern beard in 1992 to eliminate suspicion of being connected to the Taliban.
- Voted "Greatest North American League Destroyer" by the Taliban in 2002.
- After hearing about what the Taliban did to America on 9/11/2001, he decided to go even further by eliminating NHL hockey from Canadians lives in 2005.
- Fattest commissioner in the history of North American sports.
- Managed the nearly impossible feat of getting ESPN so pissed off at the NHL, it's now only carried in the USA by a local cable access channel in Detroit (right after "Tool Time"), a low powered Spanish TV station in Los Angeles, MSNBC in San Jose, the MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate) Channel in New York, and local television stations in Minneapolis, Boston, and Buffalo that are owned by Weird Al Yankovic (all games alternated with showings of "Hogan's Heroes", "Conan the Librarian", and "Jail or No Jail").
- Killed off the World Hockey Association in the 1970s, the Soviet Union National Hockey team in the 1980s, and the International Hockey League in the 1990s: Why? They love that American money, so screw the Canadian dollar!
- Is Jewish, though thats not an accomplishment.

DENVER, Colo. - Abby Kirchoff led the University of Colorado Colorado Springs scoring effort for the seventh time this season with 19 points as the Mountain Lions (2-5 / 1-2 RMAC) fell 68-56 to Metro State (2-4 / 1-1 RMAC) tonight at the Auraria Events Center.
Metro State scored the first eight points of the game, but the Mountain Lions chipped at the lead and made it a two-point game at the 10-minute media timeout. Both teams stayed within six points of each until the 10-minute timeout in the second half, with UCCS taking a four-point lead early in the second half.
A six-minute scoring drought for the Mountain Lions, which started on the possession before the media timeout, put UCCS down by 12 points at 57-47 with 3:48 remaining. Carrie Christopher ended the stretch with a layup, but the Mountain Lions wouldn't be able to cut it down to less than 10 minutes in the final minutes of the game.
Kirchoff went 11-of-15 at the free throw line and improved her career total to 919 points. She needs 22 points to tie Karen Rants' mark for eighth in UCCS career records. Kirchoff also led the Mountain Lions with six rebounds.
Gabby Ramirez scored eight points in a seven minute span in the first half and added two steals on defense. Shanah Leaf finished with a season-high five rebounds in eight minutes off the bench.
Up Next: UCCS wraps up a six-game road swing at Regis on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. The Rangers (3-3 / 1-1 RMAC) lost 89-80 to Colorado State-Pueblo tonight.

Running away is not the solution. People cant' always run away from your problems, you have to face them. If you really loved someone, you would fight for them; not run away in some cucoon. Yes, it easier to do that but for how long? And people don't realize how many relationships they break just for a boy/girl. And Yes, of course parents should be more understanding.
And example of it would be when my cousin ran away with a girl, yes they are happily married now and their family accepted 'em b/c they had no choice. But he lost everyone's respect, including the girl he married. Because now to all the relatives she is the girl who 'ran away from home'.
So, it might be easier to run away but people should think in long-term b/c it is better to fight and earn respect for yourself.
But then again it always depends on the situation. Everyone has their own problems!!

World Council of Credit Unions representatives, including (left to right) Brian McCrory, director; Grzegorz Bierecki, chair; and Brian Branch, president and CEO, met with the Irish League of Credit Unions at their headquarters in Dublin last Friday to gain a better understanding of the Irish system.
DUBLIN — Irish credit unions recently gained access to provide electronic payment services through a license granted by the Central Bank of Ireland to the Credit Union Service Organisation for Payments. The new service will allow credit union members nationwide to electronically transfer payments from a bank, employer or social welfare office directly into their credit union account.
"The recent exit of multiple international banks from the Irish financial services sector means that there is a greater scope for Ireland's credit unions to offer a vital link between the Irish public and accessible, community-based financial services," said World Council President and CEO Brian Branch during a visit last week to the Irish League of Credit Unions (ILCU), a World Council member. "A payments license will allow credit unions to begin to put a realistic not-for-profit alternative in place."
Branch and World Council's board of directors met with ILCU's Kieron Brennan, CEO; Brian McCrory, director; and the ILCU board of directors to learn about challenges facing the nation's credit unions and the significant impact of an electronic payments service on members' ability to manage their current and future finances.
"We believe that reforming our payments system will provide cost competitiveness, greater security and convenience for 3.1 million credit union members nationwide," Brennan said.
The World Council delegation visited Dundrum Credit Union for a presentation from their executive committee.
Since the hit of Ireland's historical recession in 2008, ILCU and credit unions around the country have faced economic difficulties, yet have remained a coherent social and economic force in society. During this period, membership has grown steadily, which is partially due to increased access to loans. As of 2012, Ireland had 487 credit unions serving 3.2 million members, according to World Council's most recent statistical report. A recent study by ILCU shows that consumers' confidence in credit unions is on the rise. To learn more about issues affecting the local sector, the World Council delegation also visited Dundrum Credit Union in Dublin.
Consumer demand for access to credit union services through multiple channels continues to be a major challenge faced by World Council members and credit unions around the world. To learn more about World Council membership, visit www.woccu.org/membership.
World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development agency for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.
World Council has implemented more than 290 technical assistance programs in 71 countries. Worldwide, 57,000 credit unions in 105 countries serve 217 million people. Learn more about World Council's impact around the world at www.woccu.org.

Find information on Kassandra Possidi in our Travel Guide covering sights, foods and nightlife plus more...
Kassandra Possidi is on the western coast of the Kassandra Peninsular to the east of Cape Kassandras, one hundred kilometres from Thessalonika with a transfer time from the airport of under two hours. Kassandra Possidi lies in an area of great natural beauty and has a wonderful sandy beach surrounded by pine trees. It is a purpose built resort with a comprehensive range of accommodation to suit most budgets. A Kassandra Possidi holiday offers peace and relaxation, summer sunshine and excellent bathing.
If you are looking for a retreat from the rigours of modern living, where you can relax in the sun surrounded by natural beauty, Kassandra Possidi is the place for you. Nightlife is low-key and there are few opportunities for shopping but there are some interesting sightseeing opportunities including the old castle of Mende and the sanctuary dedicated to Poseidon.
Kassandra Possidi is essentially a family resort as its relaxed atmosphere and the sandy beach and safe bathing are perfect for the bucket and spade brigade. It is also very popular with couples seeking a peaceful environment.
Although the holiday season lasts from April until October when the temperature ranges from twenty to thirty degrees, summer is the most popular time to visit Kassandra Possidi.
Kassandra Possidi, on the south western coast of the Kassandra Peninsular, is situated close to the resort of Kalyves and the inland village of Kasagdrino. Kassandra Possidi has a wonderful south facing stretch of sandy beach which shelves gently into the clear blue waters of the Aegean. The waters are very shallow for a good distance from the shore and are ideal for children and less confident swimmers. Kassandra Possidi is a very quiet relaxed resort in a peaceful area of the peninsular. Pine trees surround the beach and the hotels and they are framed by low verdant hills. The position of the resort was obviously chosen because of its coastline and, in truth, there is little to do apart from relaxing by the sea or by the hotel pool. The hotels here are excellent, providing visitors with good service and amenities. If you tire of beach life and wish to add a little more variety to your day, you can visit the lighthouse dating from 1864 which sits on the end of the cape warning of danger. The site of the ancient village of Mende with its old castle is also nearby, close to Kalandra. The sanctuary dedicated to the God Poseidon is found here and is one of the oldest in Greece.A Kassandra Possidi holiday is possibly one of the most relaxing beach vacations that you could choose. Here you can while away the hours in the knowledge that the sun will shine, the water will be clean and warm and that there will be good food and wine waiting at your hotel when you return.
Kassandra Possidi nightlife is very low-key, reflecting the family nature of the resort. Hotels provide the evening entertainment and there are often live acts and the very popular traditional Greek nights.
There is a general paucity of shops in the purpose built hotel complexes and Kassandra Possidi is no exception. If you are desperate to buy the obligatory souvenirs, you will need to take the scenic route round to the east of the peninsular to Kassandra Pefkohori, where you will find a range of shops and boutiques.
Since Kassandra Possidi is a resort comprised of hotel complexes meals are taken in the hotels. The hotel buffets provide a very wide choice of food with many meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Local wine is good and inexpensive. There are a few tavernas along the beach providing daylong refreshments.

Strategic Partnership announced by GT Nexus and Kinaxis
April 30, 2012
Another example of ongoing collaborative supply chain integration surfaced today as GT Nexus and Kinaxis announced a strategic partnership to deliver a cloud-based unified planning and execution platform.
Spokesmen added that this partnership is designed for enterprise customers and business process outsourcing (BPO) service providers. ?
Aaron Sasson, CEO of GT Nexus, noted that the "new world of business networks" demands tightly integrated supply chain planning and execution.
He said that?while companies have invested heavily in enterprise software and B2B messaging "middleware" solutions to help them optimize inventory and fulfillment strategies, the vision of a fully integrated and responsive supply chain network has remained unfulfilled. ? ?
"This is because of the enormous information barrier that companies face when trying to make smart planning decisions in the context of highly dynamic and complex global supply chain structures," he added.
As reported in LM, GT Nexus and Capgemini inked a joint go-to market BPO initiative late last fall to enable what it described as "Supply Chain Orchestration."
Meanwhile, GT Nexus announced that its annual user conference, Bridges, will take place in Half Moon Bay, California, on June 3-5, 2012. This annual gathering of large enterprises and supply chain partners is the largest event of its kind, attended by companies with collective revenues in excess of $1 trillion.
