Zambia safari...
... is an unusually earthy and high quality experience on the whole, with low visitor numbers, intimate little camps and a real focus on intimate contact with the surrounding bush. It is ideal for people who really have a passion for safari.
Zambia is a really lovely country in the southcentral part of the continent, a perennial backwater often described as"the real Africa".
To this day the country remains a relatively uncommercial location for safari, with small outfitters continuing to operate intimate little camps in remote and beautiful reserves.
Safari in Zambia is unusually earthy and involving. It therefore tends to appeal most to more outdoorsy and experienced African travellers.
Many of the better camps operate walking safaris which may include deliberate approaches to potentially dangerous wildlife, including elephants and lions.
Night vehicle safari is also a particular speciality in some areas, a chance to see both some of the nocturnal creatures, but also try to catch the main predators when they are at their most active.
As well as safari the country also happens to contain the Victoria Falls, which seem to have an almost magical appeal to travellers and are included in virtually every trip.
When to visit ...
Jun/Oct ... is the dry season in Zambia and generally considered to be the best time to be out on safari as the majority of animals converge on the few year round water sources. During the early part of the season, May/Jun, night time temperatures can be rather low, so do bring warm layers and a decent jacket. The grass and foliage cover can also be a little high during the first month or so, making it a little bit more difficult to find the animals. Towards the end of the season the wildlife viewing should be at its absolute best, but it can become extremely hot and humid day and night. Visitor numbers are relatively high, but this tends not to be too much of an issue here.
Nov/May ... is the green season, with showers being possible at any time, but generally focussed on Dec/Feb when they can become persistent. This rain can cause many of the minor tracks to become difficult and increase the grass and foliage cover, both of which make wildlife viewing more challenging. However the bush looks beautiful, with lots of wildflowers and baby animals. Visitor numbers are very low, except for the Dec/Jan holiday season, and prices are often considerably reduced.
Areas ...
South Luangwa ... to the east is the best known safari area in the country, lying to the east and providing the iconic Zambian bush experience.
North Luangwa ... is a much lesser-visited national park just to the north which is best known for its specialist walking camps.
Lower Zambezi ... to the southeast is another fantastic reserve, this time also offering motorboat and canoe trips to complement the usual vehicle and walking safaris.
Kafue ... to the west is a huge and relatively remote and little-visited wilderness with a handful of superb camps.
Livingstone ... is the area which is most commonly visited, primarily because it provides access to the spectacular Victoria Falls.
Lusaka ... is the capital, lying in the centre of the country, but generally bypassed by the majority of safari travellers.
Resources ...
Here are a few tips on issues relating to travel in Zambia ...
1. Passports and visas
2. Health
3. Money
4. Security
5. Electricity
6. Good books
How we like to include this country in trips ...
We love Zambia. The people are wonderfully friendly, the landscapes and wildlife are stunning and the whole place is somewhere with which one feels proud to be associated.
Three of the people who first founded our company had their very first experiences of working on safari in the country and continue to maintain close ties. We are lucky enough to be able to count virtually all the main safari operators as personal friends.
Although conventional wisdom dictates that Zambia is best suited to experienced safari travellers, we rarely hesitate to recommend it to first timers, especially those who are a little bit more outdoorsy. The only problem is that, after undertaking a proper safari in Zambia, you may find the experience offers in some other countries to be a little bit too tame and commercial.
The most common trip shape is a combination of South Luangwa and the Victoria Falls at Livingstone, typically over 7 to 12 nights.
Lower Zambezi or, less commonly Kafue can be added in for a further 3 to 5 nights each.
These Zambian locations are also often commonly combined combined with parts of neighbouring Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa in particular.

The commie successor to Mr Potato Head Hugo Chavez stole Sunday in Venezuela. The vote was so corrupt that even Obama's administration won't recognize the regime. Note to communists. When Barack Obama won't recognize your government because of election fraud, you've pretty much cornered the market in corruption. After all, Obama is the Alpha and Omega of corruptocrats, having won the election in November with vote tallies of 110% in numerous precincts. It is said even the Founding Fathers were resurrected in Philly to vote for Obama!
Supporters of challenger Henrique Capriles are calling for massive protest in Caracas tomorrow to protest the election theft. Chavista thugs and Maduro supporters have been busy burning ballots since Sunday. The military has been busy killing. Seven deaths and 61 injuries have occurred at the protests so far.
Former bus driver (hey, it's better than a community organizer!) and President-elect Nicolas Maduro is promising massive bloodshed if the protest takes place tomorrow. Maduro said the protest will be a "death wish" and says "going to downtown Caracas will fill it with blood and death."
Sounds just like a communist, doesn't it? How can Maduro feel so certain of the outcome of the protests? Easy! He has all the guns! Today, he dispatched tanks to the neighborhoods that supported Capriles. Here's what it looks like when one doesn't have the right to bear arms:
They have guns. You have your hands. Guess who wins?
Or you can try this method:
Yeah, that ought to work! Roll in the tanks! Squish!
America is following in Venezuela's footsteps. State-run media, government control over banking and major industry, and an unarmed populace. Just a reminder, tomorrow the Senate votes on universal background checks which are really universal registration requirements which will lead to universal gun confiscations. The vote will be close!
Our Founding Fathers recognized the tyranny we now face from corrupt politicians would one day come. For that reason, they gave us the 2nd Amendment with the guarantee that our freedom to bear arms would never be infringed. But that is exactly the intent from corruptocrats in both parties. It's happening people! Ask the citizens of New York, Connecticut and Colorado. It's not going to stop! Ask yourself this…would you prefer to throw rocks or shoot bullets should that terrible day ever come?
Watch Venezuela closely. You're likely to see lots of death and violence in the streets over the next few days. Even more so than the rampant death and violence in a once-wealthy country now plagued with the highest crime rates in the world, shortages of electricity and water, empty shelves in grocery stores and 30% inflation. You'll very likely be watching the future of America under the "progressive" system. It has to come crashing down. Soon.
How many times must the world watch socialism fail and still support it? Here's the answer. Socialism will remain as long as there are corrupt politicians and a majority of stupid people.

I have a house to get ready for a new baby in March. It has been scary messy at my house. The nursery was packed with junk to the door and our bedroom had stacks that had merged into a giant mess. Not to mention months of laundry to do. My sister came to visit this weekend and DH and I got motivated and cleaned all but two rooms and the garage.
I am so excited that I am starting back up with flylady (I fell of the wagon a while ago) so that I can continue to get things ready and to maintain.
No questions right now. I am just rediculously excited now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This is something we are currently working on with qemu community. The problem is that libvirt starts qemu in a way (-nodefconfig) that prevents it from reading the file that defines all modern CPU models. Try qemu -cpu ? vs. qemu -nodefconfig -cpu ? and you will see that quite a few CPU models just disappear. And since the new models (Opteron_G3 in your case) is not known to qemu when run by libvirt, libvirt transforms it into a model that qemu knows, i.e., core2duo and a bunch of additional features. So the guest will actually see a CPU that supports all features which Opteron_G3 supports. More about this issue can be found in a huge thread "Modern CPU models cannot be used with libvirt" which started in December but most of it has been discussed in March, starting with https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-March/msg00416.html Jirka

SuperCell trying to Break the RTS Market using Boom Beach
Ever since Boom Beach in 2013, SuperCell has been trying to break into the base building RTS market with mixed results. While it's difficult to argue against the game's graphical appeal, it's always been a strange mix of simulation-like aspects with strong RTS gameplay. The game has survived on its roots, but in general been shunned by critics and simulation fans as having little depth and too much flash. For Boom Beach, SuperCell is hoping to address the depth issues while maintaining the real RTS feel.
The control is both intuitive and complex. Simple moves like raiding and defending are handled with ease, while basic movement is as simple as button press. For more complex moves, a combination of button presses and directional moves is required, which becomes easier after the "memorization curve" is overcome.
Rounding off the arcade aspects of Boom Beach, there is a unique quest and mission that takes place after reaching a certain level. The World Tournament pits the player against Ai controlled islands in the archipelago; when they're defeated, they're unlocked and available for control and resource production. In addition, diamonds can be earned during raids and after enough are accumulated, they can be used to "purchase" resources like gold, iron, wood and base upgrades. It's all very console-like in this aspect.
In an attempt to appeal to the more simulation-oriented base building fans, SuperCell is including the ability to trade items among members of Task Forces. The AI will also offer trades throughout the game with other computer-controlled opponents as well as the player. To help determine each player's strengths, there are in-game overlays that serves as guide.
Whether or not SuperCell will win over the RTS and simulation fans is yet to be determined, but even without that, Boom Beach is in fact fun to play. It's still in a relatively early stage, but the graphics and most of the animations seem to be in place and working correctly. The graphics are still a little dark and the shadowing could also use some help. The gameplay, though, seems to be intact, and that is where the importance lies. We'll know in a matter of months if SuperCell can pull off the perfect blend of sim and arcade play, but either way, it looks as though arcade baseball fans will have another four-bagger this Spring.

It's Vegas week on Hockey Wives. This week we were introduced to a few new faces — Paige Getzlaf, wife of the Ducks captain, and Ashley Booth
David Booth has played well enough to earn himself another NHL contract, whether it's in Toronto or elsewhere
Vancouver Canucks forward David Booth suffered a leg injury last Saturday against Detroit and has missed the last three games
Let's, for the purpose of our narrative, pretend the Vancouver Canucks didn't deal for David Booth in October and their second-line winger was now available
David Booth, the Canucks winger with the patient approach to returning from injuries, played coy with the media Saturday. For now, pencil Booth into the lineup and start monitoring how long it takes him to find his top gear
VANCOUVER — Kevin Bieksa's teeth are fine, although the Vancouver Canucks defenceman can now whistle Dixie with his lips closed.
For most of Tuesday night, the Vancouver Canucks were outhit, outskated, outchanced and outshot by the Colorado Avalanche. Naturally, the Canucks won 6-0, further fueling their dramatic migration north in the National Hockey League standings
By Brad Ziemer VANCOUVER — It was great night for former Florida Panthers and an even better one for the Vancouver Canucks.
By Ben Kuzma VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks were hoping that the struggling New York Islanders would be the right tonic Sunday for everything that ails them, even though they've managed to play down to the level of lesser opposition on a far too regular basis this young NHL season. It took another goal by […]
LOS ANGELES — Ryan Kesler has a hard time accepting the free passes people want to give him. No player from the Vancouver Canucks' core group gets less criticism when he's inert than Kesler, who's rarely scorched in print or on airwaves the way goaltender Roberto Luongo is and forwards Daniel and Henrik Sedin are.

The financial world can be a tricky place to navigate.
From understanding tax laws to knowing how to properly repair your credit score, you may be a little overwhelmed by all the ins and outs of your finances. But once you start to learn a little more, these things will start to become second nature.
One of the most important financial avenues to learn about is bankruptcy. This procedure has the misconception of being a quick way to eliminate all of your debts, but that could not be further from the truth. Bankruptcy will not only have a lasting effect on your finances, but it can destroy your credit score as well. There are several types of bankruptcy to claim, and once you understand each of them, you will have an easier time staying away from them. Here are the several forms of bankruptcy:
Understanding what bankruptcy isBankruptcy is the legal procedure of filing a claim saying you cannot pay back your debts. It may seem like a quick fix, but it will stay on your credit report for up to 10 years, which can greatly affect your credit score and how you apply for loans. This procedure is a last-ditch remedy, so you should consider all of your options before you go down this road.
Chapter 7With this form of bankruptcy, you will have all your assets estimated for their cash value, which will be used to pay back your debts. Those who are considering claiming this must meet the means test - income must be less than the state's median income.
Chapter 9 & 11These two types of bankruptcy are somewhat similar and allow you to reorganize your debt. Chapter 9 or Adjustment of Debts of a Municipality, allows a city, town or county to work around their debt, while Chapter 11 is designed for businesses and individuals.
Chapter 12Many forms of bankruptcy are geared to specific groups, and Chapter 12 is one of them. Family farmers or fishermen who receive regular income in these industries can file for this. During this process, you will be allowed to set up a repayment schedule for your loans, which usually lasts over three years.
Chapter 13Those who do not meet the requirements of the means test will then have to file Chapter 13. This is generally more common for individual consumers. A repayment plan, like chapter 12, will be set up to assist in paying back loans.

PAINTING FOR MYSELF by k04skWatch
©2014-2016 k04sk
it has been the new year and I haven't done a painting for myself. I have been so busy and stressed out about work that I sometimes forget to do stuff for myself.
I sometimes forget not all the stuff I do on my blog and deviant has to be portfolio worthy, and that I should get back into the habit of just doing stuff and not caring. So sorry about that guys I am going to post a lot more now this year : )
Yay! More art updates are better than no art updates!
Lovely art for arts sake
What a nice set of harmonious colors, and not to mention the variety of brushes you used. Good job!
I do love the lighting and vibrant colors!
Very cool Kalen!
Looking forward to seeing more art from you!
Looking forward to seeing more art from you!
Please do.
These paintings are so much more beautiful, because you can almost see the kind of love the artist has for their craft.
Either that, or expressionist paintings really speak to me. XD
But please do more for yourself if at all possible. They're gorgeous.
That's gorgeous.
Wow, this is so cool! I love how colourful and full of life it is.
I'm busted a quick animation and a fanart earlier today for the same exact reason! Lookin forward to seeing more personal stuff, man.
I don't even know how you're doin these things with the colors in this one. So cray.

USA, 2011, 93 Minute Running Time
Topics: Biopic, Gay/Lesbian, History, Political
Program: True StoriesLanguage: English
A riveting documentary about an endlessly fascinating man: Vito Russo is probably best known for his seminal book The Celluloid Closet (1981), a revelatory work which traced the portrayal of gay and lesbian characterst throughout the history of the cinema. Russo subsequently toured the US, Europe and Australia with a show that encompassed a live lecture and copious film clips, but it was his work as a gay activist that had an even more profound effect on the day-to-day lives of gays. From the early 1970s, when he became active in the Gay Activists Alliance, through his co-founding of GLAAD in 1985 in response to homophobia in the media (and its sensationalized portrayal of the AIDS crisis, in particular), Russo was on the front lines of the Gay Liberation movement. His eloquent activism on behalf of ACT UP helped galvanize that movement, which ultimately changed the course of the government's response to HIV in this country.Fascinating clips, interviews with key players in the story and copious footage of Russo himself combine to create a vivid portrait of life, before, during and after Vito.
Director Jeffrey Schwarz is expected to attend both the 1/14 and 1/15 screenings.

The Sahara Group has sought Supreme Court's permission to sell its shares in the Force India Formula 1 team as part of its effort to raise funds for the release of conglomerate's jailed chief Subrata Roy
Force India boss Vijay Mallya says his partnership with the Formula 1 team's co-owner Subrata Roy stands strong despite the Sahara Group chief being in jail since March 2014
Two private firms today moved the Supreme Court expressing their willingness to buy Sahara Group's three overseas hotels, Grosvenor House Hotel in London, the New York Plaza and Dream New York hotels, which will help raise money for release of Subrata Roy from jail.
The Supreme court on Friday gave 18 months to Sahara to repay Rs.36,000 crore of the investors money which its two companies, SIRECL and SHFCL, had collected in 2007-08 through OFCDs
The Supreme Court gave Sahara a 'final and last opportunity' to raise Rs.10,000 crore to make a part payment to investors for the money raised through OFCDs in 2008-09, for release of Subrata Roy and two directors from custody
US-based Mirach Capital today said it is initiating a USD 400 million defamation lawsuit against the Sahara group, while alleging that the failed financing deal with the Indian conglomerate has caused "irreparable harm" and "shaken investor confidence"
Hitting back at Sahara, US-based Mirach Capital today rejected accusations of indulging in forgery and claimed the Indian group has walked out of the USD 2 billion loan arrangement fearing repayment defaults
Crisis-hit Sahara today said ithas been cheated by US-based Mirach Capital with a "forged letter" of USD 2 billion funding through Bank of America -- a major blow to the group's fund-raising efforts to secure bail for its chief Subrata Roy
Jailed chief of Sahara conglomerate Subrata Roy has once again been provided with an AC conference room with services like internet and video-conferencing at the Tihar prison as per a Supreme court order to complete negotiations for raising funds for his bail
If news that the famously incarcerated Sahara group head honcho, Subrata Roy, (in jail since March for failing to appear in court in connection with the Rs 24,000 crore unreturned investor deposits) will be out on bail soon, turns out to be correct, then besides his family and friends, a certain Mumbai-based numerologist called Sanjay B ('Success is a Blend of Good-Fortune & Hard-Work!') Jumaani will be a happy man
As it tries to raise funds for securing release of chief Subrata Roy from Tihar jail, Sahara group today sold a big land parcel in Gurgaon near here for Rs 1,211 crore to realty firm M3M India Ltd
The Supreme Court today declined to give an urgent hearing to the plea of jailed Sahara chief Subrata Roy seeking bail to attend the cremation and perform rituals relating to the death of his aunt
The Sultan of Brunei has reportedly made a bid for New York's Plaza Hotel, Dream Hotel and London's Grosvenor House hotel currently owned by India's Sahara Group
Supreme Court allows Sahara chief Subrata Roy, who has been in jail for the last five months, to use conference room in Tihar jail for negotiation with potential buyers of his luxury hotels in New York and London to raise Rs 10,000 crore to get regular bail
The Supreme Court Tuesday turned down Sahara Group chairman Subrata Roy's plea for release on parole to arrange the sale of three overseas hotels to generate Rs.10,000 crore to be returned to investors
The Supreme Court on Friday reserved its order on the plea by Sahara Group chief Subrata Roy seeking the court's nod for selling its three overseas hotels to generate Rs.10,000 crore and for his release on 40 days parole to put through the international transaction.
The Sahara Group has thanked the Supreme Court for lifting the freeze on its moveable and immovable assets so that it can raise the Rs.10,000 crore for part payment of dues, but also said it had repaid the bulk of money owed to investors
Sahara group chief Subrata Roy will remain in jail even as the Supreme Court Wednesday lifted the freeze on the group's moveable and immovable assets so it could raise Rs.10,000 crore for part repayment to investors
In a sudden twist in the Sahara Group case, Supreme Court judge Justice J S Khehar has recused himself from hearing the matter following which a new bench has been constituted
The Supreme Court Tuesday rejected the plea by Sahara chief Subrata Roy challenging its March 4 order sending him to judicial custody for not complying the order to return investors money by routing it through SEBI

Should I make a baby registry?
I'm due at the end of August, beginning of Septemeber and I know that I should probably make a baby registry. But I'm hesitating to do so because of my family. There are three weddings alone this year, plus another of my cousins is having a baby around the exact same time I am. Even though everyone is excited for everyone all around, I feel like it would be too much to ask them to get one more thing. Plus I'm the youngest out of the marriage/baby group. But at the same time I feel like, "Why not? She'll probably be the only one I have." I'm not asking for large ticket items or anything either, and her room is 85% finished already. I'm just wondering if making one is selfish?

I think you should go ahead a register because everyone already know you don't ask for much and a baby is something very special and lovable.....so go ahead and register girl and make sure you put a pic of the baby up.posted 05/11/2010 by shequita1
No, not at all. Making a baby registry is perfectly fine. I made 3 at 3 different places. Me and my boyfriend knew we weren't gonna get everything we put on the list, and we didn't expect to either. We mostly added things we needed, such as diapers, wipes, bottles, bathing gift sets, etc. and a couple of fun stuff just for the babies sake. We barely got any of the fun things, if any at all, but we did get what we needed. Since you feel this way, maybe you should only add things you know you will need for the baby, and just do the rest of the shopping yourself. Hope this helps, goodluck! =) -Danielle.posted 05/06/2010 by danielle_rgrs

PatchLink unifies security with SecureWave acquisition
Security firm PatchLink is acquiring SecureWave in an attempt to strengthen its unified security offering.
This Article Covers
Security firm PatchLink is acquiring SecureWave in an attempt to strengthen its unified security offering.
The acquisition is on the heels of PatchLink's February 2007 acquisition of Harris STAT.
"Through significant organic growth and strategic acquisitions, we believe PatchLink is now poised to capitalise on a significant market opportunity to become the de facto provider of policy-based enterprise security solutions," said Pat Clawson, PatchLink CEO.
SecureWave Sanctuary provides unified policy enforcement for centrally managing and monitoring device and application use to protect against data leakage and malware threats.
These capabilities, combined with PatchLink's vulnerability management solutions, provide organisations with enterprise-wide policy management to assess and prioritise vulnerabilities, proactively enforce their application and device security policies, and automatically patch and remediate vulnerabilities across their entire IT infrastructures, said PatchLink.

Portman says principles guided his gun sale vote
YOUNGSTOWN — U.S. Sen. Rob Portman said today his opposition to expand background checks for firearms purchases "isn't about politics."
"It's about principles and I take that very seriously," said Portman, a Republican, during a conference call with journalists.
Portman voted Wednesday against a bill to include private sales at gun shows and all Internet sales, yet exempt most sales among family members.
That prompted state Rep. Robert F. Hagan, a Democrat from Youngstown, to declare his candidacy against the Republican in the 2016 election.
When asked today about Hagan candidacy and criticism, Portman laughed and said, "I'm going to keep looking for solutions to gun violence."
The senator also said, "Instead of making this partisan, I'll continue to work" on this issue.
In response, Hagan said, "I'm not going to let this guy off the hook. He's got to answer to the 90 percent of people who favor background checks. I'm going to hold him accountable."
For the complete story, read Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Wow, I'm glad to hear Mr. Portman voted his principles. He will be able to appreciate that me and a lot of other people will be voting for Mr. Hagan on our principles also.
Mr Portman Thank you, Its time the majortity finally won one. But the liberals are crying FOUL. And BOOBY Hagan, where did you get the figure of 90% ? From your great leader OBAMMY. Because the way i see it, the numbers are just the opposite. Please run for the senate because when you lose maybe you will just go away for good.
Hagan represents socialist principles. For all his buffoonery, Bob Hagan has not brought one job to Youngstown.
He represents the kooks.

ARDMORE, OK -- A veteran making his way through Oklahoma and Texas in honor of fallen firefighters was escorted through Ardmore Thursday.
Marine Veteran Lance Robinson says he's walking 343 miles in honor of the 343 fallen firefighters of 9/11.

Frustrated by disallowed winner, Sharks coach calls goalie interference rule 'clear as mud'
The San Jose Sharks would've had a 3-1 series lead, if not for the referees's decision to disallow Joe Pavelski's overtime goal last night in Nashville.
Instead, the Sharks are headed back to San Jose tied, 2-2, after Mike Fisher won Game 4 for the Predators in triple OT.
Not surprisingly, what happened last night didn't sit too well with Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer, who offered a rather sardonic opinion of the referee's decision — a decision that was upheld upon review — to disallow Pavelski's goal due to "incidental contact" with Nashville netminder Pekka Rinne.
"I don't understand. I guess incidental contact is you're cross-checked from behind while you are in the air and you have the opportunity to stop. I guess that's what it is," DeBoer said, per Sportsnet.
"You know what? That rule has been clear as mud to every coach in the league all year, so why should it be different tonight?"
DeBoer is not wrong that there's been confusion. What actually constitutes goalie interference has been a hot topic since the league allowed coaches to challenge it.
For the record, here's what would've been reviewed last night:
b) Scoring Plays Involving Potential "Interference on the Goalkeeper"
(ii) A play that results in a "NO GOAL" call on the ice despite the puck having entered the net, where the on-ice Officials have determined that the attacking team was guilty of "Interference on the Goalkeeper" but where the attacking team asserts: (i) there was no actual contact of any kind initiated by an attacking Player with the goalkeeper; or (ii) the attacking Player was pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending Player causing the attacking Player to come into contact with the goalkeeper; or (iii) the attacking Player's positioning within the goal crease did not impair the goalkeeper's ability to defend his goal and, in fact, had no discernible impact on the play.
So, based on that, it was decided that Pavelski was not "pushed" or "shoved" into Rinne by Nashville's Paul Gaustad. Or, at the very least, it was decided that Pavelski, after he was pushed, failed to make a "reasonable effort" to avoid contact with the goalie.
Obviously, that's not how DeBoer saw it. He didn't think Pavelski had a chance to avoid crashing into Rinne.
Regardless, the Sharks will need to put last night behind them and get focused on Saturday's Game 5. It's a best-of-three to get to the Western Conference Final now, whether they like it or not.
Avs lose another to Europe, as Everberg signs in Sweden
Just four days after Joey Hishon signed with KHL club Jokerit, another Colorado player has inked overseas — on Friday, SHL club Vaxjo announced it had agreed to terms with Dennis Everberg.
Everberg, 24, appeared in 70 games over the last two seasons with the Avs. His best effort came during the '14-15 campaign, when he scored three goals and 12 points in 55 games.
Last year, he was largely phased out of the Avalanche lineup — appearing in just 15 contests — and spent most of his time in AHL San Antonio (where, to his credit, he played well, scoring 40 points in 54 games.)
Signed as an undrafted free agent two years ago, Everberg will now return to the same league in which he first made a name for himself. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder had played for SHL club Rogle prior to coming to North America.
Both Everberg and Hishon were set to become RFAs on July 1, and neither seemed as though they had a long-term future with the club.
As such, these departures can't come as a big shock.
Pens want Cullen to return next season
Matt Cullen is oldest active player in this year's playoffs, an achievement unto itself.
But the 39-year-old seemingly isn't content with just being the resident greybeard. He's playing at a pretty high level.
He's racked up five points through nine games, averaging 15:22 TOI per night, and has become a real thorn in Washington's side.
How thorny? To the point where, after Game 4, Caps head coach Barry Trotz acknowledged Cullen's "having a hell of a series against us," per Sportsnet.
Cullen will have a chance to extend his postseason on Saturday, when the Pens look to eliminate the Caps — but his GM is thinking about extending things well beyond these playoffs.
More, from Sportsnet:
[Cullen] has his own three sons running around the Penguins dressing room after games, and they're old enough to experience and enjoy this playoff run, too.
The natural question is what happens next? [Pens GM Jim] Rutherford believes he'll still be good at age 40 – "I do want him to return, but we'll deal with that at the appropriate time" – although Cullen seems somewhat less certain about his future.
As good as he's played and is playing, it's not out of the question we're watching his final games.
Cullen played this season on a one-year, $800,000 deal, which ranks among Rutherford's best moves of the campaign. He appeared in all 82 games, scoring 16 goals and 32 points, and finished second to Sidney Crosby in faceoffs won.
Looking ahead, though, it's fair to suggest this could be his swan song, as Pittsburgh is pretty loaded at center. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Eric Fehr and Nick Bonino are all fairly entrenched — and under contract — and it looks like young Oscar Sundqvist is ready to push for a spot as well.
There's always the possibility of going to free agency, though that seems the least likely route for Cullen.
Report: It 'looks like' Sens prospect White will return to Boston College
Since losing to Quinnipiac in the Frozen Four, the Boston College Eagles have also lost a bunch of their best players.
Those who made the decision to turn pro include Alex Tuch (Wild), Adam Gilmour (Wild), Miles Wood (Devils), Steve Santini (Devils), and Hobey Baker finalist Thatcher Demko (Canucks).
The good news for B.C. is that Colin White probably won't be part of the exodus. According to TSN's Darren Dreger, it "looks like" White will return for his sophomore season after scoring 43 points in 37 games as a freshman.
White, 19, was drafted 21st overall by the Ottawa Senators last summer. He said last month that turning pro had "definitely" crossed his mind, but then he also said, "Definitely, B.C. is a great place."

J.J. Abrams' Star Trek revamp is the second pop-mythology origin tale that Hollywood has delivered this month, and it's a pleasure to report that the film is everything Wolverine isn't: speedy, smart, thrilling, funny, and, in the end, almost criminally enjoyable.

No one could have been less enthused than I at the prospect of Remember the Titans, the inspirational high-school-football flick starring Denzel Washington. The film's omnipresent previews – which, I swear, seemed to precede every movie released from June through September – not only appeared to give away all aspects of the film's plot but all aspects of the film's subplots, and it was being released right on the heels of the scabs-play-football bomb The Replacements, arguably the most wretched movie of the past summer.

Dutch pop group sing about Mississippi,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Premium Gold Collection (Audio CD)
Pussycat were a pop group (four men, three women) from the Netherlands whose music was (for the most part) mainstream seventies pop, mainly recorded in English. They wrote most of their own material but they also recorded a few covers including It's the same old song (Four Tops). They recorded a well-balanced mix of up-tempo and slower songs.
Their claim to fame is a country-styled up-tempo pop song that they wrote about the American heartland - Greenville, Mississippi to be exact. They released the song in the UK, where Dutch pop singers had no previous record of success, and took it all the way to the top of the charts, knocking Dancing queen (Abba) off the top. It sat there for four weeks, eventually being replaced by another classic (If you leave me now - Chicago). In America, Barbara Fairchild, a country singer who learned about Pussycat's song on a visit to Europe, covered the song. Her version became a minor hit on the country charts but deserved to do much better.
Pussycat never repeated the success of Mississippi in the UK, though the follow-up, Smile, made the top thirty. Other songs that I particularly like include Georgie and If you ever come to Amsterdam, though another of my favorite Pussycat tracks (Mexicali lane) is missing from this particular compilation.
Pussycat are not essential to a collection of seventies music but there is more to their music than Mississippi.

VIDEO: Rendezvous in Paris
Rendezvous in Paris
New Yorker Video
F or a movie about three illicit affairs, this is a decidedly unsexy film. Only one of its unrelated short stories ("Mother and Child 1907," named for a Picasso painting) verges on anything like chemistry: A fickle, myopic artist (Michaël Kraft) ditches one date in favor of another (Bénédicte Loyen) and a pointed, playful conversation about the failings of romance ensues. But maybe unconsummated desire is part of veteran director Eric Rohmer's point that the forces driving someone to have an affair may have more to do with ego, control, and fantasy than desire per se.
In all three episodes, philandering lovers, wrested from the warm apartment they share with another or from the phone that the wrong lover may call at the wrong moment, seem to have little choice but to seek the most out-of-the-way cafes, parks, and stairwells for their secret rendezvous. And this provides the most delightful aspect of the movie, as the Paris that emerges is both the city in which its surreptitious inhabitants live and the one in which they become its necessary tourists. Rohmer's camera follows them everywhere, setting up contradictions between the familiar cafe they might frequent with friends and the obscure one they are obliged to explore for the first time, as if it were home, or bed. And in the absence of sex, there's a lot of room for talk in this movie--talk that reveals the characters as, for the most part, catty, manipulative, and generally fucked up. They are more willing to feign intimacy than commit to it, more excited by the intrigue of their elaborate encounters than by the actual time spent. These public displays would seem to merit the comment "Get a room"--except that none of the lovers actually likes each other. And while heartbreak would seem imminent, the games these people play end up damaging their trumped-up egos more than their well-protected hearts. Nevertheless, Rohmer makes their shortcomings fascinating rather than incidental, as the cold failure of these relationships becomes, by default, the most meaningful thing the characters share.

In the study of Buddhist philosophy, from the start one tries to transcend concepts, and one tries, perhaps in a very critical way, to find out what is. One has to develop a critical mind that will stimulate intelligence. If one cultivates intelligent, intuitive insight, then gradually real intuitive feeling develops, and any imaginary or hallucinatory element is clarified and eventually dies out. Finally, the vague feeling of discovery becomes very clear, so that almost no doubt remains. Even at this stage, it is possible that one may be unable to explain one's discovery verbally or write it down exactly on paper. In fact, if one tried to do so, it would be limiting one's scope and would be rather dangerous. Nevertheless, one finally attains direct knowledge, rather than achieving something which is separate from oneself. This can only be achieved through the practice of meditation, which is not a question of going into some inward depth, but of widening and expanding outward.

DEER TRAIL, Colo.—A Colorado town considering issuing hunting permits for drone aircraft has been given the go-ahead for a special election on the matter.

- Colorado town's drone hunting proposal may go to special election
A judge on Tuesday rejected a legal challenge that claimed the petition drive was approved by a biased town clerk.
According to KMGH-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/pmuukc9), the election is expected to be held sometime next year.
Supporters of Deer Trail's proposal say it would make the town of 500 people a national attraction for gun enthusiasts and people skeptical of government surveillance.
The proposal has drawn a stern warning from the Federal Aviation Administration, which says shooting at unmanned aircraft is a crime.
