Contraction a necessary evil for survival of NHL says economist

trimming the fat
would be a good option to then regroup and plan the next expansion.
But that last point should be the forefront of thought on the matter.
A successful business model is one that is bent on expansion.
My thoughts on the article are, foremost, that it is subjectively written to draw support from popularist thought that the NHL doesn't need the "Sunbelt" teams and that
mentality that hockey is Canadian and belongs in Canada (and perhaps the northern-most States).
Saying that there is "...weak nationwide interest in hockey in the U.S." may be true, but the conclusion that the author tries to force on the reader is that this means that contraction would be a good idea.
While it would be esthetically pleasing to see percentile profitability among the NHL clubs increase, it would do nothing for the actual growth of the NHL. That's the only thing that contraction would achieve. Removing the least profitable franchises would make the NHL seem like each team is proportionately more successful, but the League itself would not actually be more successful.
The important point I want to make here is that Sunbelt teams are integral components to the long-term success of the NHL.
While initial interest is low (and may remain low for some time), the mere presence of hockey, along with
proper marketing
promotion of hockey among the youth leagues
will eventually cause an upswing in interest and allow the NHL to make notable progress in the Sports Entertainment Industry.
It's not something that will happen overnight.
Why is that? The league has been around for a 100 years without the sunbelt. My how did they ever accomplish that? No big TV contract no big payday for players. The league will do just fine with any number over 12.

Saina Nehwal
The Indian, who is seeded 3rd, lost to her opponent in 39 minutes. Saina is world number 4 while Ying is ranked 9th in the world. Saina had held a 5-2 advantage over Ying before today but could not extend that domination.
Later today, Kidambi Srikanth will be in action in the men's singles quarter-finals.

Leo: Facade
Just gotta do it.
This may be quite amusing, actually.
I strode up the path to 'Gemme & Luca's' house. They've known eachother for, like, four days? And they've already moved in together? Morons. I knocked on the door loudly; I didn't care if I woke any of them up. Luca opened the door with his stupid telekinisis, (lazy git), and his expression turned hard when he saw me.
"What." He said through gritted teeth. He was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed on a table and an ashtray balancing on his leg.
"Hey, I've come to be nice, so don't get all stroppy with me."
He scowled. "Luca, I'm not gonna say I feel bad about burning your drugs, because, you're really an idiot to even take them." I grinned. "But I kinda saw you had the hump after that so I thought I'd give you some money to make up for it." I watched his expression carefully, but the only thing that changed was the set of his mouth as he spoke.
"Aw, thanks so much! What am I getting? $100? Aww, you shouldn't have!" He said in a sarcastic tone.
"Nope." I dug my hand into the pocket of my scarlett skinny jeans. "Something more like $10,000."
His face lit up, but he hid it with a mask, I didn't see any need for a facade. I threw the money to him, and he caught it.
"What an over reactor. It's just a bit of money." I muttered with a grin as I flew off into the dark night.

I love the beach combing artifacts that decorate the front room. Even at negative temps it stayed warm. Would love to stay again.
We liked the cabins location and being able to get away from the city to relax. It was great to spend the morning drinking coffe and reading my Bible and books at the cabin. Very comfortable place to spend the weekend!
Amazing experience. A very well kept and well stocked cabin (we made French toast but forgot the syrup and we opened a cabinet and there was syrup). Beautiful view of the river during the day and a breathtaking view of the stars from the hot tub at night. Quick drive to resturaunts and other fun activities. Mike was very helpful in inflating a deflated tire, so we could make it to a tire shop to have it looked at. We highly recommend staying here and plan on staying here again in the future.

Apparent Revulsion
Short Story by: Sabbie
Status: Finished
Genre: Romance
Congratulations. Bravo. Very well done. You've done it again. You've twisted your venomous words into poetic lullabies that put all my worries to sleep. You've had me under your spell as if you were some kind of fairytale witch. It's like my conscious has been turned off, and I am no longer able to think for myself. I am not an individual, rather just a silhouette of a human that accepts the lies you feed her.
And as I wrap my arms around my bruised legs and cry harder, I replay all of it. All of the sweet things you would whisper into my ears after unleashing your demonic wrath on my body. All of the lies you fed to the ones I loved most. Long-sleeved shirts and pants, gifts, you called them. They were never for me. You were scrambling to save yourself and hide what you had done. You and I both knew it, yet we both chose not to acknowledge it. This shouldn't come as a surprise, really, for you. A person, no matter how weak, can only take so much. My tears gradually soak the thin cotton fabric of my pants, the ones you bought me after you beat me so bad I could hardly move. And as I recall the utterly unbelievable deceitfulness that I so easily accepted, I can't help but feel a self-hate so very strong that it causes me to question my own sanity. The shifty way you moved around me as I lie in bed, recovering from your doings, will never escape my mind. You moved around our apartment, almost stealthily. You knew you did something wrong. You slick, sly bastard. You knew, yet you chose to ignore. And me, naïve and so easy to forgive, let you.
You're screaming at me now, as you hastily throw your clothes into a suitcase. However, you don't realize that I no longer have ears for your loud, hypocritical opinions. I tried, in the beginning, to ask you about why you had become so violent. However, you were always ambiguous, never actually answering my questions. I had given up long ago, yet even then I never had the strength to give you a piece of my mind.
But everything changed last night. You had come in, drunk, telling me sweet things that I was tired of hearing. You weren't being sincere. You were just talking, wasting your oxygen and energy talking to a person who no longer cared what you had to say. You hadn't even hit me yet, but I knew it was coming, soon. Soon you would be yelling cruel things at me and throwing me up against the wall like I was nothing but a rag doll. It happened every time. But then afterwards you would say the nicest things. You would convince me that you would get help, convince me that it wouldn't happen again. For a time, I believed you. But last night I was way past believing you. So, I did what I had never had the strength to do. I told you to get out. In actuality, I screamed it. I was crying and shaking and yelling at you to get out. Get out of my house. Get out of my life. Get out. You stood there, dumbfounded.
This morning, you were still here. You didn't mention it, thought I was joking. Dismissed it with a simple, "I was drunk. I probably imagined it all." But you didn't imagine it. So, I again gathered the strength and told you to leave.
So here you are, leaving. And I can't help but feel my heart breaking as you scream that I will be lost without you. And it might be true. I have clung to you with an unhealthy obsession and need for so long, that I've forgotten who I really am. So, yes, maybe I'll be lost and maybe I'll be sad. But that's okay. Because even sad and lonely, I will not have you around to hurt me. I can truly start to heal.
The door slams shut and I hear your loud cursing through the walls. You won't give up so easily. You'll probably come crawling back, whispering sweet things through the door. But I won't be here to hear them. Someone else will be living here by the time you come back. Because when I cut someone out of my life, I make sure they can't find me again. The plane tickets are already tucked safe and sound inside my bag. My clothes have been packed. You were too blind with rage to realize that you weren't the only one leaving. But that's okay, it's better this way.
Wiping my tears from my eyes, I try to be optimistic. In a few short hours I will be back home, safe in my mother's arms. How long has it been since I've seen her? A year? More? You took over every aspect of my life. Didn't let me leave the house to go see my family. Didn't let me talk to my friends. You made sure that I was completely reliant on you.
But it's time to get my life back. So, I stand up from my spot on the couch and glance out the window one last time. You are a disease, a vermin. You have tainted my view on life, but that's not going to be the case any longer. Even though I know you're still outside the door, suitcase in hand, trying to make your point that I won't be able to live without you, to me, you're already gone. You're already floating out of my mind and off to some place where you can't touch me.
And may you stay there forever.

Wow. This is brilliant, really, really incredible. It was extremely well written and captured the emotions and voice of the girl telling this perfectly. I love it, is it just a short story or will there be more?
Absolutely breathtaking! As a survivor of domestic violence, I found myself cheering Mandy on. It is not easy to find that strength to break free but you captured so many aspects of the violence to the decision for freedom to the survival to a tee. Thank you for sharing. Love your work.

The only good thing I can get from this Deluxe Version is the season pass which promises 5 more characters when they release. Everything else just seems like fluff that (I feel) shouldn't even be paid for. So the additional $20 you pay to go from the Standard to Deluxe Version is only really worth the 5 characters, and it's not even worth it to pay $4 for extra characters who may or may not just be derivatives of some of the already existing characters. With the number features they tried to cram in each character, I'm not sure what else they can cram into the 5 more they're creating. Seriously, the additional skins and taunts aren't really good unless you play those specific characters. And the special weapons are something I disagree with (and a quick read of the previous user review also shares this sentiment) because paying to gain an advantage over other players is a cheap and unbalanced way of empowering your player base while earning cash. For me, this isn't really worth it. I don't see how paying that additional $20 and getting the Deluxe Edition is going to impact your gameplay significantly. Not unless you're fine with paying $4 for new characters (if you're really that invested in this game). I mean, I'm not in a position to judge since i bought the DLC characters for Sm4ash Bros, and those were $5-6 each. So yeah, if you're a true fan of this game, then get this to get the game plus all future DLC.
Battleborn is a new entry in the hero shooter genre and manages to stand on its own with rich lore, hilarious characters, and fantastic gameplay. In Battleborn, the end of the universe has come and you team up with various allies to make sure that the last star does not go out. But that's just the single player campaign. It does what it needs to get done and doesn't have anything that will blow you away, but it is fun if you want to unlock some character skins/taunts and learn more about these various humans, robots, elves, and unidentified. Also it is just fun to fight against a boss who just happens to canonically be the characters your friend is playing as. The multiplayer is where the meat of Battleborn?s content lies, and sadly where most of the comparisons to Overwatch come from. You team up with to capture points, make sure your minions reach their destination, and various other standard objectives. There are also character abilities that can be upgraded with perks that you gain while you level up. Additionally, you can collect crystals in each match to either activate gear that permanently boost only your stats or create turrets and drones that can be destroyed to help your entire team. This is a very interesting system that forces you to prioritize. Sadly, the extras that come in the digital deluxe version are hit and miss. The season pass is a definite plus, especially since it will give you extra characters, but unless you like playing as Oscar Mike, Miko, Caldarius, Phoebe, or Orendi, the extra taunts and skins will be completely useless. The golden character select pedestal and start screen logo are just fluff and can be cute, but the legendary gear packs? Those are the kinds of things I hate because they give players an unfair advantage against players of equal skill. Battleborn is a game you have to buy. Given what I have seen in the game so far, the season pass alone is reason enough to buy the digital deluxe version.

CfP: 2018 Conference of the Association for Arts Management on Cultural Leadership & Innovation
The term "cultural leadership" has gained increasing attention in the discourses of cultural management and cultural policy, as well as in the curricula of international study programmes and higher education programmes. In many of these contexts, "cultural leadership" is presented as a force for innovation and transformation of organizations and societies. The 11th Annual Conference of the Association for Arts Management (Fachverband Kulturmanagement for Germany, Austria & Switzerland) takes this observation as a starting point for an interdisciplinary, international gathering of researchers and practitioners in the field of arts management. The conference will take place from 17 to 20 January 2018 at the University of Music and Theatre Hamburg. The Call for Papers is currently open, the deadline for submissions is 18 June, 2017.
Arts Management Education: We need to unlearn the ways in which we learned in the past
In this interview, Alan Salzenstein (De Paul University, Chicago) and Martin Zierold (Karlshochschule International University, Karlsruhe) talk about the relevance of teaching "transformation skills" to arts management students. It is based on a joint talk on this topic that they held during the 10th annual conference of the German Association for Arts Management in Weimar in January.

Arts Management Quarterly No 126: Best-of the Young Art Journalism Awards 2016
What notion of their future job do young arts managers have? What visions of the arts sector are driving them? And what are the issues they want to find new solutions for? These are important questions that show how the arts sector can and should develop to be ready for future challenges and the changing needs of their audience. For that reason, we decided that with this issue of Arts Management Quarterly we wanted to give those among the participants of the first Young Arts Journalism Awards (YAJA) - a project powered by Art News Portal, fostering online journalism among journalism and creative art students worldwide - who dedicated their articles to the field of arts management the chance to get a word in edgeways.
Are arts managers their own enemy when it comes to intercultural development? Insights from the #interculturalmanagers workshop
This first workshop of the new network "Cultural Managers as Intercultural Brokers" took place 15-17 January 2017 at Heilbronn University, Germany. Its highly renowned international participants examined the role that arts and cultural managers can play in handling the challenges of globalisation. And they discussed the question how arts management is influenced by certain worldviews and how this in turn influences the fulfilment of its tasks in international contexts, and thereby shed light on the sometimes self-inflicted barriers for fostering intercultural understanding.
CfP: Seminar on Intercultural Relations in Arts and Cultural Management Higher Education
This seminar, taking place 6th – 7th of July 2017 at Zurich University of the Arts and organized by the international and interdisciplinary network Brokering Intercultural Exchange, will explore how historical, institutional and social assumptions and traditions of arts and cultural management are exchanged and reproduced through the intercultural exchanges that take place in arts and cultural management training and education. Submission deadline is April 20th.
Regional differences, but a common vision. Goethe-Instituts International Forum on Cultural Management and Cultural Policy 2016
The second edition of the International Forum on Cultural Management and Cultural Policy again brought together cultural experts from all over the world for two weeks in Munich, Germany for discussions and the development of ideas. And flanked by the presidential election in the US, the participants experienced that independently of their geographical and professional background they are connected by the vision to break down barriers and prejudices.
Approaching an Understanding of Arts and Cultural Managers as Intercultural Brokers
Our current context of internationalisation, globalisation, and the increasing global migration presents challenges and opportunities for the arts and cultural sector. With creative and aesthetic expressions inherently reflective of cultural ideas, knowledge and values, arts and cultural managers have a significant role to play in directing, administering and mediating intercultural understanding. This refers to the ability to know, accept, value, and empathise with alternative perspectives and perceptions of the world.
By Victoria Durrer, Ina Ross and Raphaela Henze
The A to Z of Arts Management - Upward Management
For years I've been an arts manager, an arts board member and an occasional arts management academic. And although there are some great arts management books to both learn from and teach with, they only seldom combine theory and practice, insights of success and failure, and story telling to help people understand how to do their job better. In this series, I introduce a selection of neglected aspects and competencies from my book "The A to Z of Arts Management". This final chapter is about how leaders in the arts can upwardly manage stakeholders with a powerful impact on their work, and enable staff to upwardly manage their bosses as well.
Arts Management Quarterly No 125: Cooperation and Collaboration in Arts Management
The days of the lonesome artistic genius are already over for a long time. No one working in arts and culture would honestly assume that a creative process can prosper mostly in solitude. Instead, creativity and cooperation respectively collaboration accompany each other. This is also true because arts and cultural processes occur in social contexts and therefore always interact with social groups, whether it be producers, audiences, employees of institutions, sponsors, buyers and so on. Surprisingly for many, the same applies to management. And this is what makes the current issue of Arts Management Quarterly on "cooperation and collaboration" so promising.
Conference review: ENCATC Annual Conference on Cultural Management Education in Risk Societies
The 24th ENCATC Annual Conference "Cultural Management Education in Risk Societies - Towards a Paradigm and Policy Shift?!" took place in Valencia, Spain, from 5–7 October, 2016. The event brought together about 160 academics, researchers and professionals from the cultural sector, policy makers, artists and students from over 30 countries. And with a more focused and application oriented program their debates about the new paradigm needed for cultural management and policy to face today's risk societies could have in fact been very fruitful and inspiring.

Series: Celebrating Marriage And Family (1 of 2) by Stuart Briscoe
This content is part of a series.NOTE: This sermon is part 1 and 2 of a 4 part sermon series. Two sermons outlines are included in this download.
Part 1: Some Things Never Change
Series: Celebrating Marriage And Family
Stuart Briscoe
Mark 10:1-9
Given all the ink that has been spilled on the subject of marriage, it is remarkable that no less an authority than Jesus summarized the basic principles of the married life in two or three sentences! Everyone should be familiar with what He said and seek to apply it.
I. Marriage - a principle ordained by God, not a human idea subject to revision.
A. "From the beginning of creation God created...." What that means:
1. Contemporary "alternative lifestyles" contradict divine principles.
2. Healthy marriages should be based on obedience to God's Word.
B. How we tried to apply this:____________________________________
II. Sexuality - is a God given treasure, not a toy or a marketing tool.
Part 2: Partners Together
Series: Celebrating Marriage And Family
Stuart Briscoe
Joshua 24:15
There are no guarantees that all will go smoothly in life or marriage because there are many forces intent on destroying our lives and relationships. But God has promised us the resources we need to deal with life's eventualities and we have to decide which way we are going to go - or as Joshua said, which gods are we going to serve?
I. The Context.
A. God's people had seen God's remarkable provision.
B. They were beginning to drift away from their initial commitments.
C. Joshua told them - decision time - who are you going to serve?

Hemnes, Anna R. (Ed.)
This book discusses normal sex-related differences in lung structure and function and the role these differences play in lung disease. New research on the effects of sex hormone signaling on specific cell types of the lung has begun to reveal how these hormones may drive or prevent lung disease. Expertly written chapters examine the effects of sex hormones on normal pulmonary structure and function, hormone signaling in lung health, and specific diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, and lung cancer. Gender, Sex Hormones, and Respiratory Disease: A Comprehensive Guide focuses on our current understanding and the gaps in research, with suggestions for future directions and implications for therapy. This book is a useful reference for pulmonologists and researchers and will prompt further inquiry aimed at improving overall lung health.

Recreational Great Lakes Oppurtunity Sought
Supporters of a proposed international biking, hiking and paddling route around the Great Lakes basin are meeting this week in southwestern Michigan to collaborate on the idea.
The Great Lakes Coastal Trail Conference takes place Thursday and Friday in Saugatuck.
Published reports say the event aims to bring together supporters in the U.S. and Canada to formalize development of roughly 7,000-mile route.
The route would include Great Lakes shoreline and the St. Lawrence River, which connects the lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
An aim is to draw tourists to the region, which includes eight U.S. states and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. It would integrate independent biking and kayaking trail developments. Efforts already are progressing on a four-state Lake Michigan Water Trail.

|Re: 2.1 Spec: detached-dirty parameters to makePersistent() when DetachAllOnCommit=true
|Thu, 09 Aug 2007 03:07:20 GMT
On Aug 8, 2007, at 7:29 PM, Craig L Russell wrote: > So if we introduce a flag that uses the same instance on attach, we > might want to have the flag called CopyOnMakePersistent and have > true be the current specified behavior and false be the new > behavior we've been discussing. Sounds great to me. There's some fine print here, though: Just because CopyOnMakePersistent is set to true, that doesn't mean that makePersistent() will *always* return copies. For example, current specified behavior says that when DetachAllOnCommit=false and calling makePersistent() with a transient parameter, the returned object will be the same instance, now transitioned to persistent-clean. This behavior won't change because of our new option (regardless of whether it is set to true or false), and we don't want folks to be confused about that... So, maybe there's a better name out there, or the spec just needs to call out the subtleties carefully. At any rate, this really feels like the 'right track' to me. Thanks, - Chris P.S.: When sending emails of this sort, should I always cc the jdo- email@example.com address, or is jdo-dev sufficient?

Grades of childhood brain and spinal cord cancer
Grading is a way of classifying brain and spinal cord cancer cells based on their appearance when viewed under a microscope. A grade is given based on how the cancer cells look and behave compared to normal cells (differentiation). This can give the healthcare team an idea of how quickly the cancer may be growing and how likely it is to spread.
Astrocytomas are given a number grade based on the degree of differentiation and how slow growing (low grade) or fast growing (high grade) they are.
pilocytic astrocytoma
well differentiated or low grade – slow growing, less likely to spread
fibrillary astrocytoma
moderately well differentiated or moderate grade
anaplastic astrocytoma
poorly differentiated or higher grade
glioblastoma multiforme
very poorly differentiated or high grade – fast growing, more likely to spread or invade nearby tissue
Other types of gliomas and other brain tumours are not always given a number grade, but they may be classified as being low grade or high grade.
Grading plays an important part in planning childhood brain and spinal cord cancer treatment and can also be used to help estimate the prognosis (future outcome).
Clinical trial discovery improves quality of life
A clinical trial led by the Society's NCIC Clinical Trials group found that men with prostate cancer who are treated with intermittent courses of hormone therapy live as long as those receiving continuous therapy.

I Remember ---
Tell us about things you remember from your past, that you sort of miss, or don't. If you're still young, it could be that you miss the games and friends of early childhood, or could be something from your past that you remember fondly, or with distaste. If you've had a long life, like I have, a lot of things have changed since your childhood. Tell us about it.
I remember my first TV set
It's kind of strange to look back at my early years, and realize that most of the things that kids take for granted now, didn't even exist when I was their age.
I saw my first TV when I was five, and it was a big piece of furniture, with a small greenish, bulbous oval screen. It looked like a big glass blind eye, when it was turned off. It scared the living daylights out of me for years. I wouldn't go near it unless it was on. I was too scared to turn it on, so if Howdy Doodie, or I love Lucy, or Captain Kangaroo was on, I had to ask my older brother or sister to turn it on. Still, it was exciting, because it was one step up from the radio, which was our only form of entertainment besides movies at the local theatre. We had that TV for ten or eleven years. I don't know what happened to it, but the wood part probably ended up in the maw of our old octupus wood/coal furnace.
It didn't even have evening programming, and all the programs were black and white. Colour TV didn't arrive in our neighbourhood until 1967 or 1968, just before the famous walk on the moon. I watched that in colour at my neighbour's house, because our old one had died, and we had a second hand one that only worked sometimes. We had an antenna on top of the roof, that had to be adjusted manually after a bad wind blew it off course, and we couldn't get anything but noisy snow on the TV Screen.
My older brother would climb out the window of the bathroom onto the roof of our big L shaped verandah, and climb to the peak of our roof to adjust it. That roof was steep, and it was on top of a full two story house, where each story was nine feet high. I remember thinking he was very brave, when he wasn't too busy being a jerk.
I'm surprised how much I remember from back then, when I have trouble remembering what I had for lunch.

Home is a thousand miles away and right in front of me all at onceMature
I want to take you
where home is,
wild streets
prolonged rain
and a green
like you've never seen.
Down the halls
of hundreds of vendors
and smells
that go on and on,
to windy cities
and over a bridge
a mile long.
To waters
that seem to never end
over cobblestone
with blue feathers
and floors
in butterflies.
Home is beautiful
it calls
through the snow,
through the summer rain
and through the color
of your eyes-
because I swear
that's where
they're from.
I want to show you
where my love comes from,
where I come from.
Home is miles away
but feels a thousand times closer
when you smile
or when you laugh
home might be far away
but god
if you're not close enough.

Roberto Cavalli slams celebrity endorsements, commends Instagram
By Isla Binnie
MILAN (Reuters) - Roberto Cavalli wants the world of fashion to turn its back on celebrity endorsements, and likes to use Instagram to stay in touch with his customers, the flamboyant Italian designer said at Milan fashion week on Thursday.
Speaking before unveiling a womens autumn-winter collection for his youth-focused Just Cavalli line, the designer said he gave his clothes to famous people, but refused to engage a celebrity to promote his brand - a role known as a testimonial.
"I want fashion to be different from the way it is today, less linked to publicity, less tied to all those stars," Cavalli said backstage before his show at Milan's Arco della Pace monument.
Fashion and luxury brands have long allied themselves with celebrities to get media and consumer attention.
Recently, fashion house Versace chose Lady Gaga to appear in its campaigns, while down jacket maker Moncler featured U.S. rapper Pharrell Williams in adverts for its sunglasses.
"I don't have testimonials. If they want pieces they call me and I give them willingly - and I don't make them pay."
But Cavalli admitted he was pleased when celebrities wore his clothes.
"I received a beautiful photo of Jennifer Lopez wearing Cavalli. I wasn't expecting it!" he beamed. Continued...

"Luxury quality and luxury service. I became a customer this winter and intend to stay with this company as an excellent supplier of wood burner logs. They are, by some distance, the best company I have used. Delivery is quick and efficient, prices are very competitive, and customer service is second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending the Luxury Wood Company and this endorsement is only given because it is genuine and based entirely on my experience as a customer. You could no worse than try them for yourself!"
Graham, London, January 2015
"Thanks for a trouble free transaction. 70 nets of Kiln dried Ash, ordered on Sunday. Delivered to Northern Ireland F.O.C on Friday with an average moisture content of 12%. That's worth a shout out for top class service."
Jason, Northern Ireland, October 2014
"Thank you again for a superb service. Previously used a Mega crate and just stocked up with 70 nets of Ash. Your wood is second to none and highly recommended. Delivery company also brilliant. We will definitely be back."
Roger, North Yorkshire, August 2014
"Unbelievable service, first delivery what an impression. Your delivery courier was fantastic, the driver called me on the day of delivery, I told him I could not be at home to receive it, no problem was the reply when and what time would your like to receive your delivery. First class service and the clear logs just as you said, excellent burning. Big well done."
Frank, Lancashire, June 2014
"The wood is excellent, all cut to the same size, which makes it easy to stack, and it was almost all silver birch, which smells fantastic. I have measured 20 or so logs with my moisture meter, and the highest reading I had was 10.6%, and the average about 8%, this is high quality wood indeed. I love buying wood in crates, it's so tightly stacked you get more for your money, and the crate makes great kindling too. If I had more storage, I would have bought two crates, which were such great value."
Paul, Leeds, May 2014
"We've just had the large crate delivered. We used to use another supplier but were disappointed with the quality. This wood is excellent - its so dry we don't even need kindling any more. You will be our supplier from now on. Many thanks."
Sue, Manchester, Mar 2014
"What great service from you, received pellets within 24 hours of ordering, will definitely use you again."
Andrew, Inverness, Feb 2014
"Just to say received my logs today, as described excellent product, and delivery company was absolutely brilliant. Many thanks."
Stuart, Kent, Jan 2014
"I just want to thank you for your very good service. I'll definitely order more with you in the future. Delivery is certainly good and fast. Thanks again."
Tony, Essex, Jan 2014
"Hi, had our wood and peat samplers delivered friday. Wood quality was brilliant - couldn't find any moisture in it at all with our meter. Also the peat burns very slowly and hot. Thank you, will be using you again."
Pauline, South Yorkshire, Jan 2014
"Due to unforeseen circumstances we found ourselves in urgent need of wood pellets for the boiler that heats our house, during the Christmas holidays. We tried all of the major suppliers of wood pellets and many of the smaller ones to try and source the quantity needed. The only supplier willing to consider our delivery needs was the Luxury Wood Company. We were able to communicate directly on Christmas day and the high quality pellets arrived shortly after as promised. The service and support from the Luxury Wood Company has been outstanding, we were overwhelmed with their determination to meet our needs. We are eternally grateful and will be recommending them to everyone."
Marcell, Durham, Dec 2013
"For a new woodburner I ordered a delivery of your logs, and am so impressed. The installers could find no measurable moisture content in the logs - they were impressed too! Many thanks.
Andy, Dorset, Dec 2013
"Thank you your logs are excellent. Will use your company next year."
David, Essex, Dec 2013
"Thank you for a trouble free transaction and a superb delivery service. Will definitely recommend and use again."
Andy, Suffolk, Dec 2013
"My wife and I recently placed an order with you after having issues with our previous supplier (our 5th supplier in 3 years!) and I am really pleased to say we are totally delighted with the quality of the wood we have received from you. Furthermore, after being impressed with the wood we decided to try peat and ordered a pallet which arrived today.... WOW Exactly what we were looking for. An even heat with a good slow burn. FANTASTIC service and a good price for the quality of product. Thanks!"
Iain, Warwickshire, Dec 2013
"Hi, I recently bought a huge crate of your wood and am very happy indeed. The amount is great for our needs. Cheers."
Simon, Shropshire, Nov 2013
"Hi just took delivery of my Mega Mixed Hardwood pallet and I am very impressed with the size of it - it will see us through the Winter. I would also like to mention how helpful and pleasant the delivery driver was. Guaranteed I will be using you again."
David, Glenrothes, Nov 2013
"Thanks for the delivery of the kiln dried wood, I am extremely pleased with it and it's all as described with a quick delivery."
Chris, Reading, Oct 2013
"Took delivery of 1 tonne of peat briquettes a few weeks ago from yourselves. Just wanted to say, excellent service, delivered on the day requested. As regards to the peat, I am from Irish decent, and am fully used to using peat. These briquettes are excellent for keeping our woodburner in overnight, with little ease. Cleaner than coal, and of course, cleaner in the air. Really pleased with the peat, but also your excellent service. Thank you."
Kev, Northamptonshire, Oct 2013
"The new pallet for the Jumbo crate of logs is spot on; a great improvement. Quality of Logs again top class. Keep up the good work"
Neil, Durham, Aug 2013

Title:(Last Drink Tonight) On the Fringe
Disclaimer:I do not own or have any sort of connection to CBS or the CSI franchise...wish I did though it would be nice to have a little extra cash.
Summary: It all started with a trip to a missing person which was interrupted by a drunk driver, then the world fell apart for one CSI,a life totally changed but not by mere chance but by a group of scientists that have an agenda.
Desert Palm Hospital
"Hey Nick,can you hear me?" Dr Holt asked as he examined his patient,his leg healed,the bruises and cuts completely healed,the scars a faint reminder of his surgeries.
Even with Nick's eyes closed he could tell Nick was attempting to respond,to answer the man asking the questions.
"Come on Nick,you need to wake up, I want to see those brown eyes of yours." Julia prodded her patient,stroking his hair as she spoke softly,wanting the man to awaken.
Then as if she had wished hard enough,he opened his eyes and looked up,"Hey Julia." his voice was strong.
"Hey Nick." a smile spread across her face.
Dr Holt's motions stopped and focused on Nick's words."Hey Nick."
Nick looked to the other side to see his doctor,"Dr Holt,is something wrong?" he asked,surprised to be in the hospital.
"Actually from what I can tell so far Nick,you're doing great." he watched as Nick smiled at the news.
"Yeah I am,so when can I leave? I really want to get home." he gave them his familiar Texan smile.
"Well,if all your tests are negative and we can't find a reason why you've been unconscious for almost three days or possIbLy longer since we don't have any record of your medical status prior to coming into the ER, then maybe tomorrow?" he wanted to be optimistic,not burst the man's bubble just yet.
"Sounds great. Where is everybody?" he asked,wondering why he was in radiology.
"Lots of questions Nick. Let's get a scan of your head and get you back to your room as soon as Grissom gets here." Dr Holt was still unsure of how to handle the situation.
"I can't do that." Nick face turned serious.
"Do what Nick?" Dr Holt's red flags were shooting up at that statement.
"Charlie told me it would hurt the insertion,I can't do it." Nick was calm,matter of fact and that concerned his doctor.
"Insertion? What are you talking about Nick?" feeling he was finally going to get some answers.
"You don't know?" he asked, a confused look on his face.
"Nick, I wouldn't be asking the question if I knew,would I?" Dr Holt could hear a storm of people heading towards the radiology department,the team had arrived but he was too close to an answer and wouldn't allow them to interfere just yet.
"Julia,tell them I need a minute with Nick then they can come back." Dr Holt directed the nurse.
Julia didn't feel as if she could leave the man but knew that Dr Holt knew what he was doing."Nick, I'll be back in a moment." her hand had somehow taken a grip on Nick's during the conversation and she hated to let the connection go but she knew that she had to stop the crowd outside,her hand slid out of his and she walked out into the hallway.
Dr Holt looked down at a very confused Nick,"What insertion Nick?"
"The one Dr Tam placed. He told me you knew what it was and would understand." Nick's hand automatically rubbing at the base of his neck now,the stitches had been removed and the healing had taken place,the piece of metal inserted into his spine was ordered by his doctor,that's what they told him,and he complied.
Dr Holt followed Nick's hand and what appeared to be a one inch incision that had healed was visible. "We'll figure it out Nick."
"I feel fine." the smile was back and Nick's hand was back at his side,"I really do feel great." he smiled,something Dr Holt was surprised at,this man would never be this okay with something he didn't understand.
"Can I do a CT without contrast?" he asked,feeling that anything would be something,he wanted to get a visual of the device inserted into his patient's neck.
A voice interrupted,"The radiation could destroy potential evidence. First,let's get Nick back to his room and get trace evidence and then go from there." Grissom's voice was authoritative,he didn't want to lose evidence.
"Griss,hey!" Nick greeted,his boss wanting to hug the man but knew he could cause contamination of any evidence,"Listen,right now I want to hug your neck but we have to get the evidence first,figure out where you've been."
Nick stuck out his lower lip but nodded, confused about what all the fuss was about. Charlie had told him that they knew where he was because he could never figure it out. But for some odd reason he didn't feel nervous about it,he was kept safe and Charlie was there.
They started moving the stretcher back towards the room marked on the chart,wanting to get the clothing he had arrived in,any trace that still might be on Nick's person.
The crowd was redirected to the waiting area,at least a hundred people stood in the room and outside in the hallway,all wanting to see the man who had disappeared months before.
Nick's room
Warrick entered with a kit,he too just wanted to wrap his arms around his friend but he knew that he had to gather the evidence from the room and his friend.
"Warrick!" Nick greeted.
"Nick,if you ever disappear on me again, I'm going to kick your ass. Do you understand?" a big smile on his face,his gloved hands up in the air,Nick nodded in understanding.
"Okay,first I need to get fingernail scrapings." his hands starting to attempt but he saw that Nick's fingernails were down to the skin,no way would he be able to obtain anything unless he made Nick's fingers bleed.
"They evidently gave me a manicure before I left." Nick shrugged,as if it really didn't bother him,Warrick feeling this was strange for his friend.
He lifted the sheets and saw the same with his feet,"Pedicure too. They were thorough." he felt frustrated,whoever had kidnapped his friend was very smart in forensic collection.
"Guess Charlie wanted me to be well groomed when I came back." Nick smiled at the thought of Charlie wanting him to look his best for his friends.
"Nick, the nurse said you've had several baths since your arrival but maybe they didn't wash your hair." he reached up with a comb to see that Nick's facial expression had changed."What is it Nick?"
"Nothing,go ahead." he watched as Warrick combed through his hair,holding a piece of paper to catch any trace,a few pieces of dried white powder were obtained and that was about it,but it was something.
"Something for Hodges?" Nick asked feeling suddenly uncomfortable with the thought of Hodges processing him.
"Yeah,where are your clothes?" looking around,opening the door to the closet.
Nick shook his head,"Maybe the nurse who admitted me knows."
Warrick opened the door and looked outside,said something to someone then reentered the room and shut the door.
"What's next? Pubic hair comb through?" Nick was already pulling down the sheet again.
Warrick let out a laugh,"Nick, you are doing better."
Nick grinned,"I just know the procedure."
Warrick did his job,any hair on Nick's body combed through. "Hey,picture time." he pulled out his camera and started snapping shots,Nick closed his eyes,wanting to be oblivious to what his friend was doing.
"What's this?" Warrick asked as he found the incision site on the back of Nick's neck.
"It's my insertion site,I think it's healed though, Charlie said it looked fine." Nick replied matter of factly,sending up Warrick's radar,this was not like his friend,to allow somebody to place something inside his body without a fight.
"But insertion of what Nicky?" he asked,now very curious as to what lie underneath the skin.
"Something to take away the bad memories, according to Charlie, it works, I feel fine." Nick's hand again rubbing at the site.
Warrick nodded,not wanting to upset his friend,but he snapped several pictures of the reddened thick area on the back of Nick's neck.
"Done?" Nick asked as he continued to watch his friend pull things out of his forensic kit.
"Swab time!" Warrick smiled as he held up the long q-tip.
"What are you swabbing?" Nick looked at his friend,the smile gone from his face.
"Nick,you know the procedure, so roll." Warrick indicated for him to turn on his side.
"No,I can't do that." he was no longer being Mr Cooperative,he was done.
"Nick,we have to do this,you've been gone for months,we are going to try and figure this out. We care about you and what might have been done to you." Warrick's voice was calm,caring.
"Charlie was my comforter,he never touched me. He only provided comfort during procedures and I felt safe." Nick tried to explain.
Warrick pulled over a chair,"Listen,are you sure that nobody touched you? I mean you seem to have some problems remembering." Warrick wanted his friend to do this in a cooperating way,he didn't want to have to get the doctors involved.
"I'm sure he only was allowed to give comfort,nothing sexual or aversive." Nick attempted to explain but his memory of Charlie and the others was very limited,it was if they were distant memories now,it must be the device that was staring to block the memories of his captivity too.
"Charlie kidnapped you Nick. He took you away for months. Are you saying nobody hurt you the entire time you were missing?" Warrick's face serious,wanting answers that lead to his friend's abduction and return.
Nick rolled over to allow the intrusive exam,he really couldn't remember much anymore,but he was sure nobody touched him in that manner but he had memories of pain so he wasn't for sure exactly.
Warrick finished attaining the swabs,Nick had remained quiet for the rest of the evidence gathering,he was deep in thought.
"Are you ready to see your friends?" Warrick asked.
"I'm tired,can it wait for a while,you wore me out." Nick closed his eyes,his desire to sleep was overwhelming.
"Sure,I'll tell Griss, he'll understand." Warrick gathered his evidence and was about to walk out of the door when he heard Nicky speak in a very low voice,"I missed you Warrick."
Warrick nodded,"I missed you too Nicky." he opened the door and walked out into the crowded hallway.
"How is he Warrick?" Grissom asked as he stood with several police officers and his team.
"Confused. Whatever they implanted in his neck is blocking his memories,he seems to think of his abductor as a comforter." Warrick shook his head,it was difficult to think of what techniques that they might have used to brainwash his friend,to cause him to be so compliant.
"We need to talk to him while he still has some memories of his abduction." Grissom started towards the door,but Warrick's hand stopped him from going inside.
"He wants to sleep. He seemed really tired following what I did to collect evidence,evidence which has probably been altered,I just think we need to figure out what they injected or implanted into his neck." His voice was was angry,he had just humiliated his friend and he felt horrible for doing it,because whoever took him was smart enough to clean their tracks.
Grissom nodded his head,he needed to get the letter to trace and the evidence collected, Catherine would stay with Nick and so would Greg,who seemed to be shocked by the events.
Inside Nick was standing at the window as Catherine entered,Gregg followed behind her as she quietly approached her friend,"Nicky,you okay?"
Nick turned,"I feel great actually and I want to go home. I want to sign out AMA,now." he had already removed the IV and had made a call to a neighbor,whom he had almost given a heart attack, to bring him some clothing,giving them the code to his house.
"Nicky,I understand if you want to leave, I really do but there are so many unanswered questions." Catherine attempted to explain.
Greg was standing near his friend now,the red area on his neck was giving him an X-files moment,when Scully had been abducted and a chip placed into her neck,it had to be the military.
"Greg,quit starring at my neck." Nick looked over to his friend,getting close enough to pull him into a hug,they hugged each other for several seconds,the connection was there,they had endured so much over the past months.
"I swear, I wasn't abducted by aliens." he whispered into Greg's ear,giving Greg goose bumps that Nick could figure out what he was thinking.
"How did you know what I was thinking?" Greg asked shyly,feeling foolish for having such a thought.
"I know you Greg." he smiled and patted him on the back.
He walked over to Catherine and wrapped his hands around her,she responded by wrapping her arms around him,a tight hug that lasted longer than the one he had given to Greg,he really missed her and her motherly ways.
"I need to tell you something Nick." Catherine was about to attempt to explain that Sophia had paid off his home and moved in to wait for her son to return,
"That my mother purchased my home? I already know, I need to talk to her,get to know her,I think we have a lot in common for two people who have never met." he smiled and walked over to the sink and looked into the mirror.
"I don't think your doctors will allow you to leave Nick,they still have a lot of questions." she gave him a sad look,feeling bad for giving him the bad news.
"I have to leave,I hate being confined,I just want to breathe in fresh air and get back home,anything that they want to do as far as tests can be done on an outpatient basis but today I'm going home,so let my mother know." he smiled and walked into the bathroom and closed the door.
"Brass will kill him." Greg blurted out,knowing how the older man had worried over Nick's disappearance.
"Not if Nicole gets to him first." Catherine turned to a nodding Greg."We need some assistance."
"Grissom?" Greg asked.
"No, Nicole." she smiled as she opened the door to get Nicole who was still standing in the hallway talking to Julia.
"Nicole, I need your assistance." Catherine motioned her into the room.
Nicole walked into the room,her heart beating hard and fast,she was so excited to see Nick again."Is Nick okay?" she asked,wondering why they had wanted her to come inside.
"Nick is going to leave,he wants to go home." Greg explained,getting straight to the point.
She nodded in understanding as Nick opened the door to the bathroom,his eyes fell on the beautiful woman,"I missed you." he smiled and took her into his arms.
She held him tight,"You scared me,I thought you were dead."
"You save me Nikki, you saved me." he held her tightly,not wanting to let go.
Three hours later
Nick was dressed, nobody could change his mind,he was leaving the hospital.
A knock on the door interrupted the intense discussion between Nick and his doctors, who had decided to gang up on him,it was Warrick returning from running the evidence.
Nick stood and walked towards the door,Nikki, Catherine and Greg watching as Warrick shook his head,"Nothing, everything was clean, The white powder is still being tested but we have nothing."
"Well, I feel great so let me go home and meet my mother." he picked up his discharge papers and turned to see Dr Kasey's angry face."I know I have an appointment tomorrow so I won't be late, I promise."
Dr Kasey nodded,"If you are I'll kick your ass Nick." he gave the man a smile though he felt Nick should be staying in the hospital but he also understand that Nick had been held captive and needed to have some control back over his life.
Nick refused the wheelchair escort and held onto Nikki's and Greg would make sure they arrived at the house without a problem,Nick would still get police protection.
Thank you so much for the reviews,yes I will keep Nick safe for a while and I think its time he go back to work,the device can't be bothered or investigated unless it causes harm to Nick, so Grissom will watch and observe as well as the rest of the team and his family, It is also time he meets Sophia,they need to get to know each other.
This story will continue as On the Fringe...and found in hte mature section, the man needs some lovin from Nicole....so those who come with me I will welcome you with open arms but for those who followed and this is as far as you can go,thank you for the support and the journey. You guys were the best!!!!
Mature for Nicka nd Nikki....they are going to get married!
