Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza is new to Bohemia. It occupies the spot previously home to Towers Diner right across from the entrance to MacArthur Airport on Vets Highway at the corner of Johnson Avenue.
I know, I know, not another pizza joint on Long Island! Well, there certainly are a lot of restaurants that serve pizza, especially in the Bohemia area, and they do make good pizza, but rest of the menu is standard. It's all sort of the same old thing in most pizzerias. Not much more than this parmigiana and that parmigiana.
Anthony's, thankfully is different. They use coal ovens. Most pizzerias on Long Island use gas ovens and some use wood ovens. Coal ovens provide a high (800 degrees), steady heat. It cooks the pizza in under 5 minutes and the char on the pizza crust is different than wood. It's not smoky, like you get with wood. You have to experience it to know what I mean.
They have a regular menu and a lunch menu. More good news, the lunch menu is available everyday, Monday through Sunday Their menu isn't large, not that that's a bad thing. I like small menus. It allows the restaurant to concentrate on making those few items the best that they can be and Anthony's delivers on that. And it isn't the same old thing (that's a good thing!).
One of the first things you may notice is that there is no pasta on the menu. NONE! It's all pizza, sandwiches, salads and, what Anthony's calls "Italian Soul Food".
Since it was my first time there, I wanted to sample a few dishes. We ordered a lunch size pizza (perfectly sized for one person for lunch), a salad, the chicken wings and I just had to try the ribs.
The pizza. Let's face it, if this wasn't good, the place might as well close. However, it was goooooooooood! We ordered it with kalamata olives. The crust was ultra thin and crispy. It held up very well under the sauce and olives. Anthony's says their pizza is "well done" meaning they make sure the pizza is cooked. It's the way I prefer my pizza and it's the way I cook it at home. They ensure it browns on the bottom. It gives the pizza great flavor. Anthony's easily delivers on their signature dish.
The salad. We ordered Anthony's Italian Lunch Salad. A nice mix of very fresh greens, thinly shaved celery, olives and hard boiled egg. The salad, as with most dishes, came with two pieces of focaccia, which was pretty tasty. Plain, but tasty. The dressing was reminiscent (in a good way) of Olive Garden's Italian dressing.
The chicken wings. I really like chicken wings. I like them all kinds of ways, but I especially like them charred, grilled, or fried up crispy on the outside with whatever you want to put on the outside. I just like wings. I really like Anthony's wings. They grill 'em and then present them with beautifully sweet caramelized onions. Me LIKEY! Nicely done and delish!
The ribs. As soon as I saw the Italian Soul Food section of the menu I was intrigued and when I saw "Pork Ribs with Vinegar Peppers" I knew I had to try them! I was not disappointed! These ribs are roasted in the coal oven with garlic, rosemary, white wine and spicy hot (but not too hot) peppers. Oh man, oh man were they good! I like heat, but it has to be flavorful and these ribs were just that. Packed full of flavor with a nice heat to it. The bite of the vinegar peppers was just the best.
Overall Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza was a great experience. The food and service were top notch and when we got the bill, it didn't make me cringe. Now, I have no problem spending money on a good dining experience, but at Anthony's you don't have to.
The one slight negative is that Anthony's is a small restaurant with limited parking. Although it was full when we got there (Sunday afternoon at about 1PM), we only waited about 5 minutes. Not bad. But, we weren't rushed out once we got seated, so that is also a very big positive with me. And it's a bit tight. Like Cliff's Elbow Room tight, if you know what I mean. There is a bar area where you can sit and wait.
If you want a new pizza experience try Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza. You will like it. It's not your usual Long Island Pizzeria and to me that's a good thing!
If you are a bariatric patient, as I am, you have good choices here. Lunch is served until 3PM everyday, so you can order smaller portions and there are good protein choices. So, come out. You will enjoy your experience at Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza in Bohemia.

Itanium Followup
By Jeff Victor-Oracle on Jun 12, 2006
My previous blog entry decried the failed predictions of the future of Itanium. It has been almost two years since - and nothing has changed. The reports of Itanium's success have been greatly exaggerated. Instead of the "industry standard"[1] status which has been repeatedly claimed, the number of Itanium systems shipped has never exceeded 9,000 per quarter, and one vendor makes up 90% of that "volume." That peak was in the last quarter of 2004 - just after my previous blog. I guess I demoralized them. :-)
Further, Itanium shipments have only exceeded 0.5% (yes, "one-half of one percent") of the number of servers sold in one year, and that was in 2004. I think I can safely leave this topic behind and move on to more fruitful discourse.

Local bands are really amazing, you get a glimpse of what the members are listening to and who is really influencing them. You are able to witness the bare bones, the beginning of what may be a big thing. Jose's Underground seems to be featuring a local artist from somewhere in the US almost every night. Weather it be from Snohomesh, WA or Tennessee, local music is different from your every day radio play, and it is very exciting.
Saturday, July 3rd, Maren Parusel took the stage hailing from San Diego, CA. From the moment that I walked into the place I could tell that something was different. This band was a well oiled machine that was ready for the big time. Sipping my beer and listening to the band I couldn't help but think of bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Feist, and Broken Social Scene. The band takes its moniker from the lead singer, Maren Parusel, who hails from Germany. Sitting down for a quick interview I could tell that this girl was ready for the big time.
They are on a tour right now which is ending on the 13th, and after that they will be heading into the studio to record a full length album. The album will be produced by Mark Maigaard from a little band called, Louis XIV. If you don't know them, do us all a favor and go out and listen to them, you will be doing yourself a service.
Not only does the band work really well together, but they are great people to talk with. They love meeting with fans after their shows and answering any questions that anyone may have. So if you are ever in the San Diego area look up Maren Parusel and see where they are playing and go! I am fully sure that you will have nothing short of a good time.
Thats all for now

Recoup 30% More When You Remodel Green
From Dean Dowd on August 04, 2011 in Green Remodeling
How much do our buildings really contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? The answers may be surprising.
Over 50% of all GHGs in the U.S. come from our homes and businesses, and over 40% of the country's energy consumption goes toward powering those structures. Contrast that with the 28% of energy consumption for cars and other transportation, and its clear that our homes are expending energy resources at an unacceptable rate.
So whats greener? Building a new house or renovating an old one? Both are worthy endeavors, but with many existing homes using twice as much energy as they should, home improvement edges out new construction.
For pricing on a home improvement project in your area, click here.
However, that's not the only reason it's greener to upgrade your existing home. New homes need new infrastructure, including roads, sewage lines, electrical lines and street lighting all entailing more expenditures of energy. In addition, new homes require the production of new materials, while materials from existing homes are generally recyclable.
Recoup more when you remodel green
Whats greener for your pocketbook? The answer may be both. Homes with a significant number of green features can sell for up to 30% more than traditional homes either for new or existing homes. In todays down-turned housing market, green technology gives you a substantial advantage.
For homeowners planning to stay in their homes, the return on investment period is getting shorter, with many recouping costs in as little as three years. In their book, Green$ense for the Home: Rating the Real Payoff from 50 Green Home Projects, architect Eric Freed and Kevin Daum found that 45 out of the 50 retrofitting projects that they examined saved money in energy costs.
Which renovations bring the most savings?
Two technologies stand out. Award-winning green architect Barry Katzs book, Practical Green Remodeling, suggests that providing a tight building envelope through high insulation, combined with solar power technologies, can turn new and old homes into near-net-zero energy structures.
The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NSEA) agrees. A report from their recent Energy Conference found that proper insulation decreased energy costs over 50%, an important statistic, considering that 58 million houses in the U.S. have no insulation at all. The NSEA also reported that when an on-site power generation is included in retrofits, such as solar panels for heating, cooling and electricity, it's possible to produce net-zero energy homes.
Solar advantages arent just limited to panels on the roof. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is technology currently in the market that incorporates solar capabilities into other materials, such as into glass for windows and skylights, or into materials for awnings and roof panels and solar shingles.
Combining these technologies with a number of green remodeling tax credits and incentives that are available on the federal, state and local level can compound the financial savings of greening a home, while saving valuable natural resources, ensuring that a house will be a home for generations to come.

Addressing in Geneva today a seminar on human rights organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), Dr. Muhammad Al-Ghamdi, who is a member of the Cultural and Information Affairs Committee of the Consultative Council (Majlis Al-Shura), underlined the importance of global cooperation in fighting terrorism. Terrorism, he said, threatens not only material achievements, but also the humanitarian and ethical values advocated by various religious faiths. He went on to criticize the imposition from outside of cultural or political styles, saying this runs counter to the principles of human rights and declaring that any act of reform should arise from the deep-rooted values of each society.
Dr. Al-Ghamdi declared that the issue of human rights has an ethical and not an ideological dimension, and that no country, even if it enjoys military, economic, scientific and strategic strength, has the right to undermine the rights of other countries or to launch aggression against them under the pretext of protecting national, economic or strategic interests. He urged understanding of the religious and cultural values of others.
The Shura Council gained full membership in IPU on April 7, 2003, by unanimous vote of its members at the 108th session in Chile.

Ever came home, only to find your house a complete mess, dog slobber on the ripped couch cushions, feces in the floor and flower pots knocked over? I'm sure many of you have. So how do you fix these problems you may be asking, simply put; Train your dog.
Dog training can be a very simple thing if people take the time out to do it, most people think it is a waste of their precious time. But they're wrong, it is well worth it as training will create a relationship with your dog even further than the one you had and keep the two of you living peacefully, no more whipping the dog for bad behavior or for doing something he shouldn't do.
A trained dog will feel more comfortable with his owner, instead of being the dog that is always getting yelled at or punished for doing something wrong. If they aren't taught not to do something, how do they know if it is right or wrong? They don't. So with training comes a rewarding relationship that will make it easier on you and the dog both. Thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dogs are not trained, sad isn't it? I think it is, considering the fact that training will open up a wide variety of communication with your pet, instead of you pulling on the dog and screaming "Hey! Stop chewing on the couch!" You could simply say the dogs name and a command such as; "Hooch, No!" and the dog will happily leave the couch alone. Ok, enough of my babbling, onward to training!

On the Cutting Edge of Construction…Literally
From Tania Simpkins on February 25, 2010 in Home Additions
While some might find this residence in Hiroshima, Japan, an off-kilter design, I'd say it strikes a perfect balance, at least aesthetically. The hard qualities evoked by black cedar and steel juxtapose a freshness derived from open spaces between the levels and 360-degree views. Architect Tetsuya Nakazono from Naf Architect & Design brings to life a structure that is at once a bit askew and eccentric, yet symmetrical and serene.
The two halves house all the standards: on the ground level are the bedroom and a utilitarian bath, plus a tatami room. Above is the living room, dining area and kitchen. Joining the units is a spiral staircase encased in a clear cylinder. The upper level can also be accessed from the middle-level deck via ladder.

John Korty
this wiki
John Korty (b. 1936) is a film director and animator who contributed many animated inserts to Sesame Street during the 1970s and early 1980s, through his San Francisco studio Korty Films. His segments, which included the recurring series Thelma Thumb, were distinguished by his unique cut-out animation method, which Korty dubbed Lumage (short for Luminous Image).
For Lumage, Korty used a synthetic fabric known as Pellon, which was then snipped and sprayed. Dialogue for the segments was often improvised around the assigned educational theme. In addition to various improv actors, child performers were often used on the soundtracks, including the younger sister of future director David Fincher. In visualizing these tracks, individual elements of character parts were then assigned to animators to arrange and re-arrange, laid against pre-dressed backgrounds, and shot frame by frame, like stop-motion. The production crew included designer Harley Jessup, later to work at Pixar, and writer/cartoonist Brian Narelle, who occasionally wrote for other Sesame Street skits as well.
In 1984, Korty released a long-gestating feature-length showcase for the Lumage technique, Twice Upon a Time. Korty has also worked extensively in live-action, directing several independent features and the Emmy Award-winning TV movie The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman prior to Twice Upon a Time. Following the financial failure of that film, Korty moved into live-action directing exclusively, helming the Star Wars franchise spin-off The Ewok Adventure (due to Korty's friendship with George Lucas), and assorted other TV movies.

May I Lift Your Pelvic Floor For You?
So many yoga spoof videos are trying too hard to be funny but I think this one actually is.
So many yoga spoof videos are trying too hard to be funny but I think this one actually is.
Recently a woman approached me after class:
"You know how in the beginning of class you ask if anyone is practicing with physical injuries?"
"Well, in the last few weeks I've had a different kind of injury–the having a hard time kind of injury. The yoga is really helping and I wanted you to know."
She was filled with dignity, beauty, and grace.
For years, I asked about the physical because it was the only kind of injury I was confident I could do something about, the only area in which I felt trained. My hunch is that the number of emotional and spiritual wounds students have–whether healed over or freshly gaping–exponentially exceeds the physical trauma. Sometimes yoga teachers feel inept, I think. I did for years.
Fellow teachers–we never know who is in the classroom with us, their strength and resilience, or their entire story.
Lately there's been absolute yoga media frenzy. My response to a NY Times article claiming that yoga can "wreck your body" went crazy viral, receiving thousands more hits than anything I've previously written.
Good yoga teachers are not Krispy Kreme donuts. They can't be mass-produced on a conveyor belt. Far too many lovely but inexperienced yoga enthusiasts become teachers before become time-ripened students–resulting in too many teachers attempting to teach what they have not yet even truly assimilated themselves.
I know because I was one of them. I offer myself as Exhibit A.
I trained to teach over a decade ago, before the current Anusara curriculum was in place. Eager beaver that I was, I cut right to the chase and signed up for teacher training before I could tell my root chakra from my elbow.
Bad plan.
I had yet to become time-ripened in my practice. I chose a training because it was geographically convenient and fit into my schedule. My cheeks are burning as I type this: I enrolled in an Anusara yoga® Teacher Training without having ever even heard of Anusara yoga.
I'd never knowingly encountered tantric philosophy. I had no interest in community, and zero idea how to align my poses. Instructions to do things like, "Put my shoulder blades onto my back," confused and frustrated me. I didn't belong in that training. I didn't belong in any teacher training.
I belonged in an Immersion. Only, it didn't exist yet.
I cried over the course of that training—a lot. Upon graduating, realizing the depth of my ignorance, I immediately enrolled in a second training. I had a lot of getting up to speed to.
Don't be like me. Since I trained, the Anusara curriculum has been far more systematically laid out. Our training curriculum is now rigorous enough to set the bar for the yoga community at large. If you find yourself practicing in an Anusara class, you can be confident that you are with a well-trained teacher.
We don't crank students through Teacher Training. We've evolved The Immersion for students–and even teachers—who want to deepen their practice and dive to the very depths of their being. Diving to the depths of your being doesn't happen overnight. It requires some time.
The Immersion is the doorway to the Anusara method through which every serious Anusara student walks. From soup to nuts, it introduces–or deepens–the philosophy behind the practice, elucidates the optimal ways of going about practicing, and of course includes lots of actual practice–for which there is no substitute. Immersing is designed to help assimilate the various snippets you've already picked up in class into a bigger, cohesive picture–as well as to fill in the missing pieces.
Have you been secretly wondering exactly what your teacher means by tantra?! Are you curious about The Bhagavad Gita–starting with the correct pronunciation? Ever try reading a yoga text on your own? How'd it go? Don't feel bad if it didn't go so well. Yoga texts should always be studied in community with a teacher who can offer insight into them.
Want to become a teacher? Immersing is the first step. Some Immersion graduates–having actually ripened in the method–go on to learn how to teach. Some don't. That's exactly as it should be. (Teaching yoga is a terrible way to get rich. The only good reason to teach is a deep call to serve.)
Speaking of teacher training--I will not be offering a Level 1 Teacher Training at either of my home studios in CT this year. Instead, I will be collaborating with Elements Yoga and Blackbird Yoga to offer a year of Immersions for every kind of student, and Continuing Ed for teachers. Together we will be devoting our combined resources to offerings of deliberate, unrushed programs designed to immerse you in your juiciest, most essential self.
2012 is the official Year of The Immersion. In addition to Immersion I, II and III, get ready for a brand new Immersion–a Mythology Immersion (!) debuting this fall, where you'll have a chance to get your deity on. Details to be announced soon. For teachers wanting to refine—there is crazy good Continuing Ed this April with Level 2 Teacher Training.
2012–it's gonna be a rad year.
PS: (For eager beaver types who are dying do Teacher Training, don't despair–we've got you covered first thing Jan 2013.)

I got the data, and plot the distribution of the data, and use the qqnorm function, but is seems doesn't follow a normal distribution, so which distribution should I use to discribe the data?
Empirical cumulative distribution function
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jul 26 '12 at 17:35
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
This looks like an asymmetric distribution that has longer tails, in both directions, than the normal distribution.
I can't think of any "canned" distributions that have this shape but it's not too hard to "cook up" a distribution that has the properties stated above.
Here is a simulated example (in
The variable here is a 50/50 mixture between an ${\rm exponential}(1)$ and an ${\rm exponential}(2)$ reflected around 0. This choice was made because it will be definitionally asymmetric, since there are different rate parameters, and they will both be long-tailed relative to the normal distribution, with the right tail being longer, since the rate on the right hand side is larger.
This example produces a pretty similar qqplot and empirical CDF (qualitatively) to what you're seeing:
I suggest you give heavy-tail Lambert W x F or skewed Lambert W x F distributions a try (disclaimer: I am the author). In R they are implemented in the LambertW package.
They arise from a parametric, non-linear transformation of a random variable (RV) $X \sim F$, to a heavy-tailed (skewed) version $Y \sim \text{Lambert W} \times F$. For $F$ being Gaussian, heavy-tail Lambert W x F reduces to Tukey's $h$ distribution. (I will here outline the heavy-tail version, the skewed one is analogous.)
They have one parameter $\delta \geq 0$ ($\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ for skewed Lambert W x F) that regulates the degree of tail heaviness (skewness). Optionally, you can also choose different left and right heavy tails to achieve heavy-tails and asymmetry. It transforms a standard Normal $U \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1)$ to a Lambert W $\times$ Gaussian $Z$ by $$ Z = U \exp\left(\frac{\delta}{2} U^2\right) $$
If $\delta > 0$ $Z$ has heavier tails than $U$; for $\delta = 0$, $Z \equiv U$.
If you don't want to use the Gaussian as your baseline, you can create other Lambert W versions of your favorite distribution, e.g., t, uniform, gamma, exponential, beta, ... However, for your dataset a double heavy-tail Lambert W x Gaussian (or a skew Lambert W x t) distribution seem to be a good starting point.
In practice, of course, you have to estimate $\theta = (\beta, \delta)$, where $\beta$ is the parameter of your input distribution (e.g., $\beta = (\mu, \sigma)$ for a Gaussian, or $\beta = (c, s, \nu)$ for a $t$ distribution; see paper for details):
Since this heavy-tail generation is based on a bijective transformations of RVs/data, you can remove heavy-tails from data and check if they are nice now, i.e., if they are Gaussian (and test it using Normality tests).
This worked pretty well for the simulated dataset. I suggest you give it a try and see if you can also
However, as @whuber pointed out, bimodality can be an issue here. So maybe you want to check in the transformed data (without the heavy-tails) what's going on with this bimodality and thus give you insights on how to model your (original) data.
In order to figure which distribution is the best fit, I would first identify some potential target distributions: I would think about the real world process that generated the data, then I would fit some potential densities to the data and compare their loglikelihood scores to see which potential distribution fit best. This is easy in R with the fitdistr function in the MASS library.
If your data is like Macro's z then:
So this gives the t distribution as best fitting (of those we tried) for Macro's data. confirm this with some qqplots using the parameters from fitdistr.
Then compare this plot to the other distribution fits.

Mary Clemenson is a character actor who writes most of her scripts. While there are a host of people out there who want to act, few have the ability to do both.
Not only are her scripts a look into the reality of life but her delivery is beyond compare. I've been in troupe meetings where Mary had her peers in stitches and in showcases where the audience was truly impressed.
I chatted with Mary in the ABC lunchroom where she works. I wanted to know where the ideas for her scripts come from.
"They come from a personal perspective," she explained. "It could be when I'm walking down the street or a memory from the past. Relationships are generally based on personal experiences because I think that is something that everyone can relate to. Not everyone is married or in a relationship but we can still connect with what is going on. We've all been around people whose relationships have done a 180. Script writing is about writing what you know."
Part of Mary's experience comes from actually delving into things like online dating. Years ago she tried the well-known online web site known as Match.com.
"I tried it years back and I did go out on a couple of dates. I didn't end up getting married but then it got me thinking. In a way when we do these dating web sites it sometimes makes you feel worse about yourself when you don't get any responses or winks. It makes you wonder what is wrong with me."
Mary delved into how as humans we start to think why and often it comes down to things like I'm not pretty enough or I'm not sexy enough or I'm too tall or too short or too fat or even too skinny.
Along the lines of I'm not pretty enough Mary tried something. "A couple of years back I did a trick and I replaced my photo with that of someone really cute and within 5 minutes I got so many responses. Obviously I knew right then and there it's a visual thing. It wasn't a great feeling for me but it answered my question. And they didn't even notice the color of the hair was totally different. Men say they are not visual but they totally are."
So, that became the theme for one of her scripts.
And here is the end result of that theme:
Single Woman – by Mary Clemenson
I always heard that something happens to a woman when she hits her 30's, I just didn't think it would happen to me.
Now, 41, I am coming to a realization that I never really had a life. This hit me a few months ago when I was watching the Farrah Fawcett Documentary about her life. Her relationship with Lee Majors and Ryan O'Neal how they met, etc. … and while I know these were Hollywood romances, I couldn't help but feel this woman lived a life.
Most of the people I went to school with are married and have several kids already. I, on the other hand, have had only one major relationship in my life and thinking back I am not so sure one could really even call it a relationship -- let alone major.
A few men here and there in my life but no one of major significance and certainly no great romances. Even finding girlfriends these days seems to be a challenge.
My aunt who is now 75 is still in contact with Ella, her childhood friend. Even if I met a great friend tomorrow, she still wouldn't qualify as a "lifelong, childhood" friend. Although, watching The Golden Girls repeats does keep me optimistic.
For now, I am a single woman living alone -- sans cats which is a good thing.
Does Anybody Work Anymore
Yet another theme was about work and the concept of "Does anybody work anymore." Mary admitted that this one was from what she noticed. There was a time when people worked or they had a stay at home mom but as Mary explained, "that is not the case anymore." So, in this script she touched upon such things as are they out of work or a multi-millionaire; do they work from home but are always running out to get that cup of coffee.
And this is the end result:
Does ANYONE work anymore? It certainly doesn't seem so. What, with the given state of the economy, this would not be surprising. But, have you really looked upon the streets of Manhattan recently?
Since venturing from my 9-5 job roughly two years ago, I find my schedule now changes weekly. This has allowed me to absorb the city like never before. Still, I confess that I rarely stray far from my home base on the Upper East Side. But, you get the idea…
This past summer was a real hoot (does anyone use that word anymore?). I would sit in various cafes and survey the passerby's. Ultimately, I discovered that I could easily divide most people into one of four categories: the wealthy Upper East Side woman who lunches, the stay-at-home mothers (those with strollers are always a dead give-away), retirees, and the person who has that elusive job that can be performed from just about anywhere (given the basic staple items of a blackberry and laptop, of course).
These days, there also just seems to be fewer people in a hurry. Hell, just drop by your local Starbucks for evidence.
My aunt and I were discussing this phenomenon the other day. Approaching 75, my aunt recalls the time when banks and post offices were empty on any given Monday, save for those who actually worked there. These days, there are weekday afternoon lines everywhere. This includes the now ubiquitous sold-out Wednesday matinee. So much for a quiet Tuesday afternoon in the park. What would Morrie think?
Who is Mary Clemenson
Mary's life has always revolved around NYC since she was born and raised in Manhattan on the Upper East Side. She readily admits that she's not rich because when most people know that you live in NYC they automatically think you are.
Mary lives in the city because she really likes it. Her recent move from in the 40s (Tudor City) to just a short distance away has disappointed her just a tiny bit.
"Even though it is only 10 minutes away I miss the Upper East Side. I really like the 60s, 70s, 80s – it's got a nice balance of restaurants, stores and businesses," she explained.
"I'm not into going downtown because that's where all the people go but for me it all feels one and the same. I really like the feel of Park Avenue."
Mary went to Marymount Manhattan College and majored in communication and then out of college she worked for a television sales company.
"It was Blair TV," she remarked, "and from there I went to a PR company. I managed to learn the TV business on the technical side. Then I went to MultiVu, an independent branch of PR Newswire, ultimately as the production manager. I learned more about TV on the technical side. How to hire makeup artists, breakfast and more."
After 4 years Mary started working at the NBC Satellite Desk booking live remotes, and trucks. And she was also working at ABC.
Nowadays Mary just works at ABC doing technical stuff like bringing live shots in and out of the building.
As she explained it, "Everything is computerized. We have to get the live shot through satellite or fiber."
And in between she does her acting and script writing because it is something she's wanted to do.
"I've always wanted to act but it took me time to make the move. I took some acting classes with Jon Palotta and did monologues with TAPNYC and in the process have written several monologues.
"I never wrote any until I started acting because then it gave me an outlet because not only could I write the scripts but I could perform them!"

Vehicle Make / Model: Model Year(s): SUZUKI / EQUATOR 2012 Manufacturer: AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP. Report Receipt Date: SEP 19, 2012 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 12V464000 N/A NHTSA Action Number: N/A Component: SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB Potential Number of Units Affected: 25 Summary: Suzuki is recalling certain model year 2012 Equator two-wheel drive vehicles manufactured from June 19, 2012, through July 12, 2012. These vehicles may have been equipped with front wheel hubs that may not meet the design hardness specifications. A wheel hub that was manufactured below hardness specification may wear prematurely and eventually crack. Consequence: If the vehicle is driven with a cracked wheel hub, the wheel hub may break, which would reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash. Remedy: All of the affected vehicles have been quarantined at Suzuki dealers prior to being sold. As such, a recall notification letter will not be issued. Suzuki dealers will replace the left and right side front wheel hub assemblies free of charge. Customers may contact Suzuki at 1-877-697-8985.

Oct. 7, 2008
STANFORD, Calif. - While billions around the world were enthralled by the spectacle, pageantry and performances of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Stanford community took great pride in its own 49 current or former student-athletes or affiliates who competed in the Games.
Stanford will celebrate their accomplishments with a public reception involving 15 of those Olympians on Friday, Oct. 10, from 4:30-5:30 p.m. at Arrillaga Plaza, located on campus between the Arrillaga Family Sports Center and Avery Aquatic Center. The event is part of the university's Reunion Homecoming weekend.
Current Stanford athletes scheduled to appear are: Elaine Breeden ('09, swimming), Jillian Harmon ('09, basketball), Arantxa King ('11, track and field), Elle Logan ('10, rowing), Lindsay Meyer ('12, rowing), Ali Riley ('10, soccer), Julia Smit ('09, swimming), and Jessica Steffens ('09, water polo).
Former Stanford athletes scheduled to appear are: Nicole Barnhart ('05, soccer), Rachel Buehler ('07, soccer), Jackie Edwards ('92, track and field), Matt Gentry ('05, wrestling), Peter Hudnut ('03, water polo), Michael Robertson ('07, track and field), Brenda Villa ('03, water polo).
Stanford athletes collected a school-record 25 medals - eight gold, 13 silver and four bronze. Among those at Friday's event are three gold medalists (Barnhart, Buehler, and Logan) and five silver medalists (Breeden, Hudnut, Smit, Steffens, and Villa).
Logan, part of the United States' winning women's eight crew, is the only current Stanford student-athlete among the Cardinal Olympic champions.
Stanford net haul - subtracting multiple medals for the same team sports - was six golds and 15 medals, totals that would have placed the university No. 13 as a country in golds and No. 17 in medals.
Among the other activities on campus over the weekend are eight intercollegiate athletic events and eight alumni contests.
Intercollegiate events, by day:
Friday - women's swimming vs. Oregon State (2 p.m.), men's soccer vs. San Diego State (4:30 p.m.), women's soccer vs. Oregon (7 p.m.), women's volleyball vs. Arizona (7 p.m.).

Splash lands ... Leisel Jones' high-dive rated better than ex-Voice singer Prinnie Stevens being fired on Celebrity Apprentice.
Reality diving series Celebrity Splash pulled another million-plus audience while Celebrity Apprentice had mixed results on its opening night.
The third season of the Nine Network's Celebrity Apprentice started Tuesday night and only the Challenge segment mustered enough viewers to figure in the Top 10 most-watched shows, according to OzTAM.
'You're fired' ... viewers did not stay tuned to watch Prinnie Stevens, right, getting axed from Celebrity Apprentice. Photo: Nine
The Challenge pulled an audience of 866,000 to be 10th overall while the Boardroom segment where Mark Bouris does the firing, had fewer viewers.
By the time the celebrities entered the boardroom to hear "you're fired" directed at former The Voice singer Prinnie Stevens, the audience had dwindled to 808,000.
Nine's Celebrity Apprentice failed to make a dint in its direct-timeslot opponents, which are the Seven Network's Celebrity Splash and Packed To The Rafters.
The diving series, which started Monday, held up well on its second night to be ranked sixth with 1.045 million viewers while Packed To The Rafters was fifth with 1.081 million viewers.
Predictably it was Nine's hit The Voice that topped the ratings with a massive audience of 2.024 million.
Left in its wake were Seven News (1.269 million) at No.2 and Nine News (1.267 million) coming in at No.3.
The most watched shows on Tuesday night according to OzTAM:
1. The Voice (Nine) - 2.024 million
2. Seven News (Seven) - 1.269 million
3. Nine News (Nine) - 1.267 million
4. Today Tonight (Seven) - 1.154 million
5. Packed To The Rafters (Seven) - 1.081 million
6. Celebrity Splash (Seven) - 1.045 million
7. A Current Affair (Nine) - 1.034 million
8. ABC News (ABC1) - 956,000
9. Home And Away (Seven) - 894,000
10. Celebrity Apprentice - Challenge (Nine)- 866,000

Shrimp Po'Boy from Jared Bafaro of Bayou Cafe in Glenville
1 hard roll or hamburger bun
5 16/20 P&D shrimp
handful shredded lettuce
handful favorite coleslaw
1 clove garlic minced
2 oz melted butter
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
dusting of Cajun seasoning
dash of parsley for color
Heat up the butter in a saute pan until very hot, and while this happens you can toast the bun if you like it that way
next take off the tail of the shrimp before putting them in the pan, then as soon as the shrimp hit the pan add in the garlic, salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. flip the shrimp as soon as you see the pink color come out and add the parsley and saute the shrimp a bit more. The shrimp cook really fast in very hot pans so it wont take long to over cook them.
when the shrimp is done put all 5 shrimp on the bottom part of the toasted bun and on the top part put the lettuce and cole slaw. put the two together and enjoy

Man struck, killed by freight train in Encinitas
A man who witnesses said was sitting on the train tracks in Encinitas was killed early Saturday when he was hit by a freight train.
The apparent suicide occurred about 1:48 a.m. on the combined passenger-freight tracks at the 900 block of South Coast Highway, Deputy Anthony Radicia said.
Witnesses said they saw a man sitting on the west rail of track number two holding his head in his hands and looking downward, Radicia said.
The northbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train activated its horn and emergency brakes but was unable to stop before hitting and killing the man, Radicia said.
The 40-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released.
On Thursday, a 22-year-old man was killed in Carlsbad by a freight train while trying to cross the tracks. His death was believed to be an accident.

Are you bored with your relationship? Does your love life need a serious makeover? Are you no longer turned on by your mate? Well, if you answered yes to any or all of these questions then you are in the right place. Here are some tips that you can do to make your situation and love life better.
1. Enjoy each other
When you really enjoy your mate's company, intimacy will come naturally. Life is busy, but there is always time to enjoy each others company. Make your mate a major priority and watch your love life grow.
2. Do some ego-stroking
Most people like to be complimented at least every now and then. Compliments make people feel good and appreciated. You know your mate is the greatest, so make him or her feel that way.
3. Have intimate conversations throughout the day
Put your cell phone to good use and send sexual text messages throughout the day. Tell your mate what you plan on doing when you both get some alone time. The anticipation of your rendezvous will create excitement in your relationship. If you are unable to send text messages on your phone, use voicemail or email to heighten the suspense.
4. Massage
Not only do massages rock, but they are also therapeutic. Massages are a healthy and sensual way to be close to your mate and also create a relaxing atmosphere. It's nice to send your mate to the spa, but it is better if you do it yourself.
5. Sleep nude or with sexy lingerie
Consider this: How hard is it for one to be angry when the person next to you is naked? Lingerie is not just for special events or holidays. So, throw away those orange and pink flannel pajamas and slip into something a little more comfortable-or nothing at all. Stuck on where to find some of the best pieces of lingerie? Click here to see some of Nashville's best lingerie stores.
6. Change it up
Nowhere is there a rule that states that intimacy and love-making need only occur in the bedroom. There is also no rule that states the positions you should use. Enough said.
7. Be consistent
Spicing up your love life should not be considered as something you do every now and then. Rather, you should be consistent and keep the intimacy ongoing. There are things that you can do even when you are tired and have had a long day. Be creative.

OKAY? OKAY. If you're jonesing for some insight and teases following last night's epic 100th episode, behold! A list! Julie Plec talks about what went down in the 100th episode, how those events could reverberate throughout the rest of Season 5, and more.
OODLES OF SPOILERS AT THESE LINKS! Beware if you haven't watched last night's episode yet. But here's a non-spoilery comment from Julie's Q&A with The Hollywood Reporter:
We have a lot of stories to tell, which is the good news, so there doesn't need to be an ultimate end date. I think we will keep going as long as we have good stories to tell and as long as people who work on the show want to stay with us and tell us good stories. When the stories start disintegrating into those pitches that we swore we'd never get to unless we were desperate, then we'll try to wrap it up. But those decisions come with a lot of people's input — a lot of people's opinions so we shall see.

- TV GUIDE: Vampire Diaries' Julie Plec on 100 Episodes, [spoiler]Crafty Katherine[/spoiler] and Damon's Downward Spiral
And here are a few leftover links TVD100 links from yesterday. First up, a must-read piece at Entertainment Weekly about TVD Writer's Room debates, big and small:
The cure was something Plec and Williamson thought up before they even wrote one word of the series. When the decision was made to turn Elena, they knew they needed to be able to cure her. But four years later, they weren't so sure she was the one they wanted to cure anymore. "When Kevin and I first started talking about it it was Elena, of course. And then it was Jose Molina, who was our writer during season 4 who said, 'But if you start the season searching for a cure for Elena and then you end the season and you cure her, then isn't that kind of a buzz kill because you accomplished the exact thing you set out to do and don't you just generally want to twist that?'"

More hints and cast reflections on TVD's 100th episode. From what Kat Graham tells Zap2it, we're in for something special.
"I definitely think the fans are going to lose their minds," Graham tells Zap2it. "I think the fans are going to be in ecstasy when they watch it, and I don't think I've ever used that word. There are some things that happen in the 100th episode that are going to make a couple people stand on their couches and scream at their TV, 'Yes, yes, yes!' That's how I'll explain the 100th episode. I'm like, 'We're doing what, they're letting who do who? What, what?' So it's great. It's exciting. It's a celebration, definitely."
Speaking of losing our minds, they spoke to Candice Accola, too.
"It's interesting how their relationship built over the past couple of seasons, because it's almost like she hated him so much that she didn't know if she wanted to just grab him by the throat and throw him through a door, or just like kiss him," Accola says. "I think that was the awesome tension that the fans really loved about their chemistry, because you just couldn't tell — is she gonna smack him or throw her arms around him?"
Zap2it also spoke with Nathaniel Buzolic and Michael Trevino. Looks like Kol fans aren't the only ones who'd like to see a certain Original revive and return to Mystic Falls:
"I'd love to come back," Buzolic says. "If the opportunity to come back did present itself, I'd jump at it."
Michael Trevino wouldn't say specifically whether or not Tyler will make it back for the episode, but he does offer hope to all the fans who are crossing their fingers for returning favorites:
"I've heard there might be some familiar faces in the 100th episode," Trevino says. "I mean, that's a milestone! You would try to incorporate as many people as you can. And as you know on 'The Vampire Diaries,' nobody's really dead. People are ghosts, there's flashbacks, so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw people from the past."
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with a whole bunch of people, including Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Kevin Williamson, and Julie Plec, about the early days of the show and reaching this milestone:
WILLIAMSON: I had been telling Julie that I wanted to do 24. If we do a slow, melodramatic soap opera about vampires, it's going to be boring. The audience is going to be jumping ahead so fast. They're texting while they're watching your TV show. You've got to give them a twist, a turn. The end of season one was a shining moment, when Katherine showed up and cut off Uncle John Gilbert's fingers. My dad called up afterward and said, "That might be the best damn cliff-hanger I've ever seen."
They also talked to Julie about 7 Things That Almost Changed the Series:
"No disrespect to Fell's Church, but it felt very based in religion and spirituality, and we knew we didn't want the show to be the kind of vampire show that's just about heaven and hell and demons and the devil and God — that kind of thing," Plec says. Interestingly, there was no story behind the name Mystic Falls: "We changed the name of the town arbitrarily."
E!Online spoke with Julie about the saddest death, biggest twist, and more.
"Oh my god. For me, personally and on the show emotionally, it's Alaric. Matt [Davis] is one of my favorites and it was really sad to see him go. It was really emotional for everyone to shoot as well because it felt like they were all standing there in that cemetery saying goodbye to him. It's something no one really wanted to do, no one wanted to say goodbye to Alaric. It was right for the story, right for the character, and that one is always going to hurt my heart a little bit. But I love all my deaths equally."
Last but not least, Buzzfeed lists their take on TVD's 17 Most Shocking Moments.

Hi, I'm Holly, IT professional, steel magnolia, and TVD fangirl. I came to TVD when it was a book series and have been watching since the pilot aired. I'm also the co-host of a podcast which covers TVD & Supernatural, "Whiskey & Salt Rounds," that you can find at Gurus of Geek. You can find me on Twitter @hollye83, where I talk TV, politics, books and pop culture. I'm excited to be putting together the Friday Night Bites round-up for my friends here at V-D.net.
Friday Night Bites is a weekly round-up for various tidbits of show and cast/crew news not quite big enough to warrant a blog post, not strictly Vampire Diaries-related, or that somehow just fell through the cracks.
- Nina Dobrev tweeted that she had to make a "scary trip to the kitty hospital in the middle of the night" and attached some simply adorable photos of herself, Ian Somerhalder, and the cute feline. We wish the sick kitty all the best! [Nina Dobrev at WhoSay]

Happy Friday the 13th! Comic-Con International has kicked into high gear in San Diego so here's a one-stop post for what The Vampire Diaries is up to this year. Once again, Saturday (July 14th) is TVD Day in Ballroom 20. And in extra-special fun times news, turns out that Mr. Kevin Williamson himself will be moderating the TVD panel. (Are we allowed to say "thank goodness?" because thank goodness.) Oh, and The Hollywood Reporter had the exclusive first look at the special TVD Comic-Con poster (pictured).
But first: Friday (today!) Matt Davis is repping his new CW show Cult with a panel and pilot screening at 11:30am in Room 6BCF and a Warner Bros. booth signing from 1:15-2pm. (Warner Bros. is observing the Con's ticket lottery system again this year, MORE DETAILS HERE.) Support your TVD alum!
Now for the main info…
Warner Bros. Booth #4545
Participants: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Steven R. McQueen, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec
New This Year: Ticket Drawings and Wristband Distributions to Begin in the Morning on the Day of Signings in the Sails Pavilion, Utilizing One Line for All Ticket Drawings for All Signings
Ballroom 20
Participants: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder, Steven R. McQueen, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec
MODERATED by Kevin Williamson.
And because Kevin Williamson obviously has a lot of free time on his hands, he will also be promoting his new FOX show The Following (watch the creepy trailer!) later on Saturday. Another TVD alum, Marcos Siega, directed the pilot and will join Mr. Williamson, along with stars Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy, for some panel and booth signing fun. They will be signing at the WB booth 12:00–12:45pm and the panel is at 4pm in Room 6BCF. Show Kevin and Marcos some TVD fan love.
If you're in San Diego this weekend, HAVE FUN. Sadly, we were not able to make it down there this year, but we'll be lurking on Twitter, RTing the good stuff, and throwing it all together on the blog this weekend.

It's that time again! The Vampire Diaries cast and crew are heading back to work, and so are we! Team V-D.net appreciates everyone's patience with the slowdown on the site, we've collectively had a lot of regular life things on our plates these last few weeks. The whole fandom is still slogging along through hiatus hell, but there's action in Atlanta and if you listen very carefully you can almost hear the TVD machine starting to gear up for Season 4. Michael Trevino even tweeted a table read picture!
Season 4, you guys! It's really happening!
The new season premieres on Thursday, October 11th. That's an awfully long wait, but Comic-Con 2012 is kicking off this week in San Diego, so hopefully we'll get some good hints, interviews and of course, pictures! Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Zach Roerig, Michael Trevino, Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec will all be attending. The Vampire Diaries panel is in Ballroom 20 from 3:30-4:15pm on Saturday, July 14th.
We've already posted about the special issue TV Guide covers, and TV Overmind has a look at year's Vampire Diaries Comic-Con bag. Check it out:

I am pleased to announce that the O'Dell House Museum / AHS Genealogy Centre Routes to Your Roots video was launched earlier today. If you remember as far back as October, a couple of people from the Council of Nova Scotia Archives arrived to record a video. Phil Neville, who is seen staring very intently into the camera, and Susan Gilson had the enviable task of traveling around Nova Scotia to record short videos at each of the archives participating in Routes to your Roots. Perhaps not as enviable was the task of piecing together all of the flubbed and outtakes If you have not yet seen it, this is an excellent resource for those looking to research their Nova Scotian ancestors.
The video, which uses the late Jeanne Doucet Currie's l'Ordre de bon temps as the theme song, opens with some of the scenery around Annapolis Royal. As we cruise down St George Street, we are taken to the O'Dell House Museum. Here we take a look at the exhibit rooms before heading to the Annapolis Royal Court House to see the AHS Archives. After a review of the archival and genealogical holdings of the Annapolis Heritage Society we see some additional scenery and fade into the credits.
Thanks to the Council of Nova Scotia Archives and the Province of Nova Scotia for this production. In case you missed my more subtle link above, the link to the video is HERE. Let us know what you think.
All for now,
Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Hi Ryan. Susan and I both had an amazing time! We had hours and hours of amazing footage of Annapolis Royal. It was an impossible task to choose what to include in your video because there were so many great sights. Love the blog!ReplyDelete
Hi Ryan, looked at the map and the Historic Gardens has moved almost into my back yard! I don't want those tourists wandering through my back yard. Ha ha. Just thought I'd mention it before Trish saw it!ReplyDelete
Thanks Jane,ReplyDelete
I see that the Sinclair Inn Museum is also floating off in the middle of upper St George Street. It is the Province's map so I will see if we can get it fixed.

Syfy announced on Friday (Aug. 8) the premiere dates for its fall 2014 schedule, Variety reports. The lineup includes the return of "Ghost Hunters," Season 5 of "Haven," the debut of new series "Z Nation" and "Town of the Living Dead," the six-hour event series "Ascension" and three original movies.
The first half of the fifth season of "Haven" premieres on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 10/9 p.m. CT. In the new season, Haven's protectors are thrust into uncharted waters with Duke (Eric Balfour) now a ticking time bomb as he fights to contain the Troubles within him, while Nathan (Lucas Bryant) faces his greatest fear that Audrey (Emily Rose) -- the woman he's fought so desperately to save -- may be gone forever.
TV Line reports that Laura Mennell ("Alphas") has joined the cast in the recurring role of Dr. Erin Reid Charlotte Cross, a brilliant CDC epidemiologist who fears that Haven is on the verge of a deadly outbreak. Ratings for the sci-fi series, based on Stephen King's novella "The Colorado Kid," rose 11 percent among adults 18-34 and three percent among adults 18-49 during Season 4.
"Z Nation" debuts the following night on Friday, Sept. 12 at 10/9 p.m. CT. The show is set three years after a zombie virus has devastated the United States, and revolves around a team of everyday heroes who must transport the only known survivor 3,000 miles from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. His antibodies are the world's last best hope for a vaccine, however, he harbors a dark secret that threatens them all.
The show stars Harold Perrineau ("Lost") as Hammond, the leader of the westward-bound group, Tom Everett Scott ("Southland") as Garnett, Hammond's second-in-command, DJ Qualls ("Supernatural") as Citizen Z, a computer hacker who joins the team to help navigate the zombie-infested terrain and Michael Welch as Mack, a wanderer who, along with Kellita Smith's ("The Bernie Mac Show") Addy, joins the team to survive. Anastasia Baranova, Russell Hodgkinson and Keith Allan also co-star in the series, which began production on the 13-episode first season in Spokane, WA. back in June.
The docuseries "Town of the Living Dead" premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 10/9 p.m. CT. The show revolves around a group of amateur filmmakers from Jasper, AL who are determined to complete their zombie film, "Thr33 Days Dead," which they have been working on for six years, and could someday become a Syfy movie. Based on a town urban legend, their film centers on a group of friends trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in rural Alabama.
"Ghost Hunters" returns for its 10th season on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 9/8 p.m. CT. Episodes this season will be set in Brunswick, GA's Old City Hall, Elizabeth V. Edwards Elementary School in Barnegat, NJ, the historic Clay County Courthouse in Green Cove Springs, FL and Ohio's Cincinnati Music Hall, plus a return visit to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV to celebrate the show's 200th episode with a two-hour installment on Oct. 22.
"Ascension," debuting Monday, Nov. 24 at 9/8 p.m. CT, follows a covert U.S. space mission launched in the 1960's that sent hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Half way into their journey, as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship's population to question the true nature of their mission.
The series stars Brandon P. Bell ("Hollywood Heights") as the confident and capable First Officer Aaron Gault, Brian Van Holt ("Cougar Town") as the ship's captain William Denninger and Tricia Helfer ("Battlestar Galactica") as Viondra Denniger, the Captain's beautiful, manipulative and dangerous wife, who also serves as the ship's Chief Steward.
According to MediaPost.com, "Ascension" marks the first mini-series from Syfy in five years, and has the potential to become a weekly series like the two-part "Battlestar Galactica" mini-series did back in 2003.
Syfy original movies "Dark Haul" and "Finders Keepers" will air in October, while "Mutant World" is slated to air in November. The cable network will also once again celebrate Halloween with nearly 600 hours of programming during the seventh anuual, month-long "31 Days of Halloween" from Oct. 1-31.

Panthers sign Ellerby to one-year, one-way deal; sign goalie Foster; Santos has no knowledge of request to meet with Torchetti
The Panthers signed young defenseman Keaton Ellerby to a one-year, one-way contract for $875,000 today, meaning no more trips to Rochester (or whatever AHL city the Panthers end up with).
Ellerby had 12 points in 54 games (2-10) but faltered down the stretch with a minus-15 on-ice rating. At one stretch during the season when Ellerby and Dmitry Kulikov were paired together they were playing like All-Stars in both the offensive and defensive zones. Then Kuli caught a puck off his ankle and they never seemed to get their chemistry back. With Erik Gudbranson on his way and Jason Garrison's remarkable progress last year, the Panthers' blue line looks set for the next decade. (Mike Weaver also has plenty of seasons left in him).
Ellerby took the same salary as last year in exchange for the job security of a one-way contract rather than another two-way. He was tired of looking over his shoulder after one mistake and worry about ex-coach Pete DeBoer shipping him back to Rochester.
Santos said he signed ECHL and former UNH goalie Brian Foster to NHL two-way contract and that there's no rush to re-sign goalie Tomas Vokoun before July 1 free-agency date.
He said there's nothing in the works in regard to adding a new AHL affiliate (someone's got to move first)
He said that he has no knowledge of any Panthers request to interview Thrashers asst. coach John Torchetti for the vacant head-coaching job despite a report in last week's Minneapolis Star-Tribune saying otherwise. Atlanta GM Rick Dudley hasn't returned my call yet.
… In other related Panthers news congrats to Connor Murphy, son of Panthers asst. coach Gord Murphy, for his game-winning goal over Sweden last night to lead the U.S. under-18 squad to the World Championship. Ice chip off the block.

The Travel Channel announced this week that it will soon air a new "Ghost Adventures" spin off series. Zak Bagans will host the new "Ghost Adventures: Aftershocks" series, The Las Vegas Sun reported on Monday.
"Ghost Adventures" began as an independent documentary film that first aired on the Syfy Channel on July 27, 2007 and is currently on its ninth season on the Travel Channel. The series follows paranormal investigators Zak Bagans, Nick Groff, and Aaron Goodwin as they explore alleged haunted locations. A tenth season is scheduled to air this fall.
"Past guests from 'Ghost Adventures' will sit in a warehouse studio set to tell us more chilling information about their spirit attachments and very personal terrifying ghost stories since I've last seen them," Bagans said in an interview with Robin Leach.
The second "Ghost Adventures" series called "Aftershocks" will premiere on Saturday, April 26. The show is scheduled for 13 episodes which past guests from "Ghost Adventures" return to tell their ghost stories. In this new series, Bagans invites some of the people that they have encountered from the original series to Las Vegas for an update on how their lives are now.
"So far, every episode we've filmed is nothing short of powerful, emotional moments, tears and WTF moments. It's gotta watch TV! The first episode deals with demonic attacks and will literally draw tears, then send chills down your spine with what is presented on the premiere," Bagans said about the new series.
The Ghost Adventures crew has investigated over a hundred locations all over the world. In nine seasons of the show, Zak, Nick, and Aaron have helped to provide answers to people that have witnessed and experienced paranormal phenomena.
The Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures: Aftershocks" series premiere airs on Saturday, April 26, at 9 pm
Saturdays just got a whole lot scarier. New episodes of "Ghost Adventures Aftershocks" will air every Saturday night.
