Nikolai Kulemin: Deal, Or No Deal?
Originally drafted in the second round (44th overall) of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Nikolai Kulemin has had an up and down career in his three seasons with the Blue and White.
Signed to a three-year deal by the Buds in 2007, Kulemin chose to stay in the KHL in the first year of his contract playing for Metallurg Magnitogorsk-Russia where he scored 21 goals and added 12 assists for a total of 33 points through 57 games.
The following season Kulemin played 73 games with the Maple Leafs, where he lit the lamp 15 times and added 16 assists along the way for a total of 31 points in his rookie season.
Kulemin hit similar totals in 2009-10 when he scored 16 and added 20 assists for a total of 36 points through 78 games in his sophomore season.
The 2010-11 season was a different story.
The line of Kulemin, Clarke MacArthur and Mikhail Grabovski hit the NHL by storm emerging as one of the most lethal lines in hockey. Kulemin was the beneficiary of the great chemistry, setting career highs in goals (30), assists (27) and points with 57.
For Kulemin, the 2010-11 season marked the first year of his two-year $4.7 million deal with the Maple Leafs, which was a hefty raise on the $850,000 he had earned in 2009-10. At $2.35 Million per season, Kulemin was looked upon as being a bargain, especially when you consider his 30-goal/57-point season.
With the 2010-11 season behind him, Kulemin (and the Maple Leafs for that matter) were expecting big things for the 2011-12 season. Sadly, Kules laid an egg last season, posting a career lows in goals (7) and points (28) through 82 games.
Which brings us to this summer where Kulemin will be a restricted free agent for the second time in his career.
When you consider the past two seasons, they tell two very different tales. On the one hand, Kulemin's impressive 30-goal effort in 2010-11 puts him amongst the NHL's elite goal scorers (only 29 players scored 30 or more goals in 2010-11, only 30 scored 30 in 2011-12).
And then you have the 2011-12 season where Kulemin completely fell off the tracks with a measly seven goals on the season. So, the question is, which player is Burke bidding on—the one that scored 30 goals, or the perennial 30-point guy?
Lest we forget, at this point in his career Kulemin has a ton of upside, but he also has struggled to hit the 30-point plateau in three of his four seasons with the Maple Leafs.
At this point it is hard to believe Burke would be willing to offer Kulemin much in the way of a raise, and certainly nothing longer than a two-year contract.
If Kulemin had hit the 20-25 goal range I'd say throw $2.5-$3 million at him over three years, but with seven goals in 2011-12 it will be tough for Kulemin and his camp to make a case for any kind of a raise, much less a three year deal.
When you add it all up, Burke will likely offer Kulemin a one-year deal in the $2 million range, which would be a gift for Kulemin. For Kulemin, a one-year deal would offer him a chance at redemption and a chance at a bigger payday next summer, while Burke could keep a player with decent upside in the fold until he could better gage his real worth.
So, what went wrong for Kulemin last season?
First and foremost, the chemistry that Kulemin, MacArthur and Grabovski had in 2010-11 declined significantly, which caused then head coach Ron Wilson to separate the trio for a number of games.
As such, Kulemin's minutes suffered, going from 17:19 per game in 2010-11 to just 15:13 last season. On the surface, playing just shy of two minutes less per game seems fairly insignificant, but that is a huge loss for any player.
Another area Kulemin's ice-time suffered was on the power play where he earned 2:39 per game in 2010-11, compared to a 0:51 last season, which was a huge drop in time and opportunities to shoot the puck or score goals.
Tim Connolly and Tyler Bozak stole a lot of power play time from Kulemin last season, so if he wants it back he will have to outplay both of those players both five-on-five and on the power play.
Another issue for Kulemin was his lack of shots. Kules recorded 173 shots on goal in 2010-11, compared to a paltry 107 shots last season. Once again, that is a huge gap—partially related to less ice-time, partially related to a lack of confidence and/or opportunity to shoot.
Kulemin will have added competition next season from the likes of Nazem Kadri and Joe Colborne—both of whom are expected to make a push for a top-six froward spot and for playing time on the power play.
Additional competition may come from off-season moves, which may include taking a run at forward Rick Nash from the Columbus Blue Jackets, but I digress.
At the end of the day the 2012-13 season will be the most important one of Kulemin's career, which is just fine by Burke and Company as they will all be watched closely as well.
For Kulemin, failure is not an option, so I expect him to come into camp in the best shape of his career and with guns-a-blazing!
One things for sure, Kulemin will have to be better if he wants to remain a Maple Leaf, otherwise, he may be headed back to the KHL where he began his career.
Until next time,
3 Comments
Will the real Nick Kulemin please stand up?
Great sum up of this dudes career. Its nothing short of mind boggling – having said that this guy has the unique ability not typically found around the league in his skill range to play a solid defensive game. He plays hard, hits hard and back checks unrelentlessly.
My take on the situation is similar to your Mark. I say his gets a Tyler Bozak type deal. One or two years max 2 per, but I'd lean more towards 1.8 if its a two year deal. He either then comes in and performs – huge competition or will be traded in a deal for the likes of Nash, etc. before we get to that point. Expect a sign and trade though if he gets packaged – there is little value in including an unsigned RFA if case he holds out. If I were a betting man, I'd say he's done and will be packaged in a deal post July 1.
Not sure either man—damned if we keep 'em, damned if we don't. He played a little with Malkin back in the day, maybe the Leafs could get a decent prospect or pick for Kules in a trade with Pittsburgh?
[…] numbers in the KHL with Metallurg Magnitogorsk (14 goals, 38 points in 36 games played), Nikolai Kulemin has yet to find his scoring touch since joining the Maple Leafs, posting two goals and 13 points through 26 games with the Maple Leafs this […]

This poem "Girls Can We Educate We Dads," by Jamaican born James Berry comes from When I Dance, a collection of poems for young people, published in 1991.
Listn the male chauvinist in mi dad-
a girl walkin night street mus be bad.
He dohn sey, the worlds a free place
for a girl to keep her unmolested space.
Instead he sey -- a girl is a girl.
He sey a girl walkin swingin hips about
call boys to look and shout.
He dohn sey, if a girl have style
she wahn to sey, look
I okay from top to foot.
Instead he sey -- a girl is a girl.
Listn the male chauvinist in mi dad --
a girl too laughy-laughy look too glad-glad
jus like a girl too looky-looky roun
will get a pretty satan at her side.
He dohn sey -- a girl full of go
dohn wahn stifle talent comin on show.
Instead he sey -- a girl is a girl.

Partisan Bickering Stalls Va. Roads Bill
Thursday, July 10, 2008
RICHMOND, July 9 -- The General Assembly's special session on transportation was headed for an unsuccessful close Wednesday evening with no agreement on how to pay for millions of dollars of road and transit projects across the state including the most congested area of Northern Virginia.
Frustrated legislators spent the day embroiled in name-calling and parliamentary maneuvers as Republicans and Democrats tried to blame each other for the session's failures.
"We should be ashamed of ourselves," House Minority Leader Ward L. Armstrong (D-Henry) said on the House floor. "Are we proud of what we are doing? . . . This is silly. This is gamesmanship."
The failed special session, the second on transportation since 2006, caps an effort to address one of the state's most pressing issues. Officials estimate that the state will face about a $3 billion shortfall over the next six years in the part of the budget used to maintain highways and bridges and that most of that money would have to come from road-building.
It appears unlikely that an agreement will be reached until leadership changes in the Governor's Mansion or General Assembly. The issue might dominate the 2009 election campaign, when Virginians will select a governor and all 100 members of the House of Delegates
In all, three separate tax bills were considered during the session. The House of Delegates revived a proposal by Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) to raise $1.1 billion a year in taxes and fees, but this time his fellow Democrats helped kill it in the hopes that they could amend and pass another tax bill they preferred. After rejecting Kaine's bill, however, the House then defeated the Democratic-preferred Senate bill that would have raised additional taxes. Before killing the Senate bill, the House stripped out a provision to raise the gasoline tax. Only one Republican, Thomas Davis Rust of Fairfax, voted for the bill.
The GOP-controlled House and Democrat-controlled Senate are expected to consider a proposal late Wednesday that would force localities to impose taxes for road and transit projects in Northern Virginia.
"The House and Senate Democrats rose to the challenge and came together to move Virginia closer to a meaningful transportation solution," Kaine said in a statement. "But House Republican leadership, once again, stood in the way, rejecting legislation that originated in the Senate. The citizens of Virginia deserved better."
Kaine could call legislators back to Richmond again to consider transportation funding, but House Republican leaders hope the governor would not do so unless he forged a compromise first.
"A governor ought to have his plan laid out in advance. A governor ought to have support of his own party from both houses," House Majority Leader H. Morgan Griffith (R-Salem) said. "We are not down here in a special session to play games to the tune of the puppet-master Kaine."
There was little negotiating behind the scenes before the session -- or during the two weeks since the session began.
Speaker William J. Howell (R-Stafford) and Senate Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw (D-Fairfax) spoke by phone Wednesday morning but the two decided that they were too far apart to reach an agreement.

European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), Critical Cloud Computing - A CIIP Perspective on Cloud Computing Services (Version 1.0) (Dec. 2012) (full-text).
Overview Edit
This report looks at cloud computing from a Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) perspective and looks at a number of scenarios and threats relevant from a CIIP perspective, based on a survey of public sources on uptake of cloud computing and large cyber attacks and disruptions of cloud computing services.
The key messages of the Report are:
- Critical infrastructure: The vast majority of organizations soon will use cloud computing, notably in critical sectors like finance, energy and transport. Cloud services are themselves becoming a critical information infrastructure.
- Natural disasters and DDoS attacks: A benefit of cloud computing is resilience in the face of natural disasters and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which are difficult to mitigate using traditional approaches (servers on site, or single data center).
- Cyber attacks: Cyber attacks exploiting software flaws can cause large data breaches, affecting millions of users, because of the large concentration of users and data. Physical redundancy does not safeguard against certain cyber attacks, such as data breaches exploiting software flaws.
The report also provides nine recommendations for bodies responsible for critical information infrastructures. Key points: include large cloud services in national risk assessments, track cloud dependencies, and work with Cloud service providers on incident reporting schemes.

Raspberry Jelly As A Filling? Help! Baking As I Type
Decorating By lauramw71 Updated 1 Mar 2009 , 11:44pm by lauramw71
Ohhh I could kick myself in the butt... I meant to grab raspberry preserves, but got raspberry jelly instead. I'm making lemon cupcakes, and wanted raspberry filling. Can I use jelly fora filling? Or will it make the cupcakes a mushy mess? Can I mix the jelly with buttercream for a raspberry filling??? It's just for the family here but darnit lemon/raspberry sounds FANTASTIC!!!!
Thanks for any help!
jelly is used in donuts all the time -- so...... why not
and mixing it with BC for a Raspberry "Chiffon" -- well why not?
bigger worry here is the big blob of filling that will inevitably end up on the front of someone's shirt! (don't I know from experience!)
I think you can heat the jelly to make it slightly more runny (like a filling).
Definitely mix it with the buttercream to make it more firm.
Lemon raspberry is AWESOME!!!! So is Lemon blackberry.
It will work fine as a filling just don't mix it up too mix so it stays solid and doesn't get runny. I've used both in the center of cakes.
I have used it without a problem..... I've also sprinkled Raspberry or strawberry (dry) jello into white butter cream, and it is YUMMY !! You have to let it sit for a little while so it doesn't get grainy......
Definitely mix it with the buttercream so yummy and lemon blueberry is also delicious!
oohh thank you thank you thank you!!!! I had originally bought lemon pudding to fill the cupcakes but then remembered RASPBERRY!! YUM O!!!!
Not sure what flavor to frost with though.. but I'll be making the buttercream in just a few minutes so... probably go with lemon. Still sounds yummy
Thanks for all the help!!

The history of Gold American Buffalos
The 2016 Gold Buffalos keep alive the sentiments expressed by sculptor James Earle Fraser in a 1947 radio interview: "I felt I wanted to do something totally American, a coin that could not be mistaken for any other country's coin." The modern Gold American Buffalos are based on Fraser's 1913 nickel, which featured a proud example of the North American bison on one side and a Native American on the other, only the second time a realistic Native American portrait had been featured on a U.S. coin. The Native on these U.S. Gold coins is unknown, and Fraser claimed it was a composite of several Native Americans. Before the Gold Buffalo coins, the design was also featured on a commemorative Silver dollar.
Why invest in 2016 Gold Buffalos?
The 2016 Gold Buffalos mark the 10-year anniversary of the U.S. Mint getting into the high-purity Gold market. Before Gold American Buffalos, the only U.S. Mint's Gold coins were the American Eagles, which are .9167 fine Gold. U.S. Gold coins are some of the most trusted currency in the world, and the U.S. Mint wanted to offer a fine Gold coin to compete with other Gold coins, such as the Canadian Maple Leafs and South African Krugerrands. Gold Buffalo coins offer the fine Gold purity you want with the full faith and credit of the U.S. government standing behind it.
Gold American Buffalos are an important thread in the international economic web.
The price of 2016 Gold Buffalos depends on many factors: Gold mining output, worldwide jewelry and industrial demand, and economic fluctuations. The price of Gold American Buffalos and other Gold bullion is also affected by changing central bank reserves of major economies. Prices for U.S. Gold coins often go up when central banks move away from paper money and buy more Gold. As you consider buying Gold Buffalo coins, it is important to watch these trends so you can buy and sell at the right prices for your investment strategy.

Gold American Buffalos benefit from the enduring human demand for Gold for ornamentation.
The beauty of 2016 Gold Buffalos makes it easy to understand why one of the primary uses of Gold has always been as jewelry and decoration. When you look at Gold American Buffalos, consider that more than 50 percent of Gold demand worldwide is for jewelry. U.S. Gold coins benefit from this demand, rising in value as burgeoning wealth in Asia increases the demand for jewelry. With Gold Buffalo coins in your investment portfolio, you have a stake in the international desire for Gold, a desire as old as early human civilizations.

Good Government: A Philosophical Quest
at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2016, Aspinwall House, Fort Kochi, Dec 27-28
Participants: Bernard Stiegler, Divya Dwivedi, Shaj Mohan, Vijay Tankha, Katja Freistein, Michael de Saint Cheron.
Good Government proceeds from the 14th century Effects of Good and Bad Government by the Italian painter Ambrogio Lorenzetti. Eminent thinkers will convene to discuss the idea of the 'good government' as conceived in the cultural history of India and Europe. Looking at history will go hand in hand with prospections towards the future, but it is today that we must question what we expect from 'good government': between the risk of technological disruption, educational challenges, the challenges of representation, trends in international news, the role of artists and the function of art, 'Good Government' is a philosophical principle that should be thought of.
Organisers: Institut Français, Paris; Embassy of France in India; Institut Français, India; Goethe-Institut; Alliance Française, Thiruvananthapuram; and Kochi Biennale Foundation.

From the Back Cover
In this long-awaited prequel to his New York Times bestselling series, Jefferson Bass turns the clock back to reveal the Body Farm's creation—and Dr. Bill Brockton's deadly duel with a serial killer
In the summer of 1992, Arkansas governor Bill Clinton and Tennessee senator Al Gore begin their long-shot campaign to win the White House. On a sweltering hillside in Knoxville, Dr. Bill Brockton, the bright, ambitious young head of the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Department, launches an unusual—some would call it macabre—research facility, unlike any other in existence. Brockton is determined to revolutionize the study of forensics to help law enforcement solve homicides. But the scientist's plans are derailed by a chilling murder that leaves him reeling from a sense of déjà vu. Followed by another. And then another: bodies that bear an eerie resemblance to cases from Brockton's past.
The police chalk up the first corpse to coincidence. But as the body count rises, the victims' fatal injuries grow more and more distinctive—a spiral of death that holds dark implications for Brockton himself. If the killer isn't found quickly, the death toll could be staggering. And the list of victims could include Brockton . . . and everyone he holds dear.

I'm so inspired by Zandria's post (34 books last year!), that I decided to do my own round-up of what I read in 2008. I'm *really* hoping to kick it up a notch this year, so this seems to be a good way to start. Interestingly, while Zandria has numerous books on her list that I've been wanting to read, we don't have even one overlap.
My totals were 12 fiction, 7 non-fiction. I'm aiming for 12/12 in 2009, which is one of each, per month. I'm going to list the books in backwards order, so the most recent read is first.

Skip to comments.Coroner: Asiana victim was alive when struck by fire truck
Posted on 07/19/2013 12:26:57 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic
A Chinese student on board Asiana Flight 214 survived the crash-landing only to be killed accidentally on the runway by a fire truck racing to the wrecked plane, a coroner confirmed Friday.
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault disclosed the findings of his autopsy on 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan, a Chinese student.
Foucralt said she died of "multiple blunt injuries" consistent with being run over by a motor vehicle. He did not say what that vehicle was.
San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said officials believe the girl was struck by a specialized fire vehicle.
"It's very difficult and devastating news for all of us," Hayes-White said. "We are heartbroken."
Authorities confirmed last week that Yuan was hit by a vehicle racing to extinguish flames that broke out on the Boeing 777.

This would be my luck. Survive a plane crash and get immediately run over by a fire truck.
That will really suck for the guys driving that truck. I wonder how many lives they saved by quickly gaining control of the fire.
why did keep going around and round the aircraft?
This is especially sad. And she's most likely the only child her parents have, or ever will have.
How did girl run over by SF fire truck get there?
I wonder what effect this will have on liability or payout governed by foreign flight carrier laws and regulations?
What's that movie where they avoid the log truck accident but die in oyher various means? Drawing blank on the name. I am having a brain fart.
Final Destination or one of its sequels?
They were fighting the fire and re-positioned the truck. Why do you think they went round and round?
It's like one of those convoluted Mad Magazine comic strips.
I seem to remember a movie like that, but I don't think I ever watched it.
"I seem to remember a movie like that, but I dont think I ever watched it."
Hot Shots but it was an ambulance.
This next story is from a pilot who was in VMFA 314 at Chu Lai in '69. You Vietnam F4 guys will appreciate this story. Here's another 'bad day' from Chu Lai:
I was one of a half-dozen replacements who checked-in with MAG-13 on August 2. We were not all assigned to VMFA-314 though. There were two other combat squadrons in the Air Group: VMFA-115, the Able Eagles, and VMFA-323, the Death Rattlers. All three squadrons flew the McDonnell Douglas F4B Phantom II and shared common living areas. Although we may have been in different squadrons, eventually we all got to know each other very well.
The first thing we six rookies did was attend an Air Group briefing in an underground bunker protected by a thick layer of sandbags. This bunker served as our group intelligence center. Suddenly, an urgent radio call interrupted our briefing. We listened as one of VMFA-115s aircraft radioed-in to report a problem. The aircraft had been hit by enemy ground fire and could not lower its landing gear. The pilot was going to attempt a belly landing on the runway. At that news, we all raced outside near the runway to grab a good spot from which to watch the crash landing.
Crash crews raced to cover the runway with a layer of fire retardant foam while the damaged F4 circled overhead, burning down its load of fuel. Two arresting cables were strung across the middle of the runway. The cables were anchored on each end by a chain made with heavy, 40-pound links. The plan was for the F4 to lower his tail hook, to belly-land in the foam, to catch one of the arresting wires, and to come to a screeching halt. It did not quite happen that way.
After burning off most of his fuel, the pilot gingerly lowered the airplane onto the foamed runway. A spark set off the fumes in the jet's empty wing tanks and they erupted into flames. All one could see racing down the runway were two wingtips protruding from an orange and black ball of fire heading toward the arresting cables. The F4 hit the first arresting cable. We watched the cable snap and hurl its 40-pound chain links skyward. Then the plane hit the second arresting cable. It also parted and flung its chain links. The aircraft was now just a ball of fire heading toward the end of the runway.
Then we heard, Boom! Boom! The pilot had lit his afterburners. He was attempting to take-off without wheels! As the aircraft roared toward the end of the runway, it slowly struggled skyward. It got airborne and began to climb nearly vertically. Then, both the pilot and his backseater, the radar intercept officer (RIO), ejected.
We stared in wonder as the aircraft crashed into the nearby ocean. The two crewmen slowly floated down in their parachutes. The wind carried them over the ocean and they too soon splashed down. A rescue helicopter was on the scene immediately. Both of the F4 crewmen, treading water, raised their right hand. This was a signal to the chopper that they were unharmed. The helicopter slowly lowered itself and plucked the pilot out of the water and into the safety of the helicopter. The helicopter then turned its attention to the RIO. As the helicopter slowly lowered itself over the RIO, the helicopter pilot suddenly lost control of his chopper, and he crashed into the water on top of the RIO. As soon as the chopper hit the water, its pilot regained control, got airborne again, and yanked the RIO from the water. Although the RIO was rescued safely, his leg was broken when the helicopter crashed on top of him.
That night at the Officers Club, the RIO sat with his leg elevated and encased in a full-leg cast. As he imbibed a few, he related his story:
* First, we got the shit shot out of us. But, hey, thats okay.
* We weren't hurt. Then, we survived a belly landing. But, that was okay too. We weren't hurt.
* Then the pilot decided he'd take off without wheels, but that worked out well too.
* Then we survived an ejection and a water landing, but that was also okay. We weren't hurt.
* Then the damn rescue helicopter crashed on me and broke my leg!"
I think zero, everybody was already out. In any event, I'm quite sympathetic to the plight of the first responders. Their adrenaline level was maxxed out and they don't know what to expect.
If she was black, this would have been intentional . . .
It's horrible. I just felt sick when I first heard of this, and still do.
More Gubermint Heroes?
They're supposed to be trained for that.
I have been running low on patience for first responders on a mission to save the day ever since Katrina, when a cowboy cop from who-knows-where almost took me out as he rounded a corner at high speed and zoomed the wrong way on a one-way street.

LV= County Championship: Nottinghamshire boosted by Steven Mullaney's ton
A century from Steven Mullaney in only his second first-class match as an opener helped Notts into a winning position.
Last Updated: 10/07/13 7:11pm
Mullaney hit 12 fours and a six in a superb innings of 104 off 201 balls to help Nottinghamshire to 360-6 by stumps on day two in response to Surrey's below-par first innings 198.
Mullaney added 105 for the first wicket with Riki Wessels, who made 47, and then a further 50 with Michael Lumb for the second.
Surrey briefly threatened to mount a fightback with the ball when slow left-armer Gary Keedy tempted James Taylor down the pitch to have him stumped by Steven Davies for five, soon after Chris Tremlett had won an lbw appeal against Lumb, on 22.
That left Notts on 168-3 but Patel, initially in partnership with Mullaney and later in further useful stands with David Hussey, Read and Ajmal Shahzad, batted with great confidence and composure to make sure there was no way back into the game for Surrey in the second half of a long, hot day in the
field for the home side.
Forgotten man
Patel, one of England's forgotten men, struck 12 fours from 149 balls to hold the innings together once Mullaney, with the total on 207, had tried to fetch a ball from Zafar Ansari to the deep mid-wicket boundary but succeeded only in mis-hitting a simple looping catch to Rory Burns at wide mid-on.
Hussey, pulling Ansari and then straight-driving Keedy for sixes either side of tea, increased the tempo in a stand of 58 with Patel until he thumped a return catch on 37 to Keedy, who did well to hold on to a stinging drive at waist height.
Read enjoyed escapes on 13 and 15 when he edged Tremlett just short of first slip then Jade Dernbach for four between wicketkeeper Davies and first slip, both of whom could only get a fingertip on the ball.
Tremlett, who got through 17 overs in the day, was the main threat, with overall figures so far of 3-71 from 23 overs, but Zander de Bruyn was completely ineffective in the third seamer's role and Surrey, threatened already by relegation, will do very well to get out of this game with a draw.

Ever since the New York Times reported that Google and Verizon were in negotiation for an agreement regarding paying for prioritization of content over the internet, there has been a lot of web discourse predicting the end of net neutrality. Basically, net neutrality is the idea that internet service providers should provide equal access to all web content, and not prioritize content providers who are able to pay to ensure speedier delivery. Obviously, the rumors about this Google-Verizon deal seemed to fly in the face of this ideal. Continue reading

For fans, whatever their heartthrob heroes do simply excites them. Even though they come up with regular punch dialogues, same floor sweeping steps and similar exaggerating action sequences, fans will clap and would love to see them again and again.
Yesterday, Superstar Rajnikanth has unveiled the first ever teaser of his latest film 'Lingaa'. As usual, fans went into shouts and whistles as they saw Rajni walking in style in two different avatars. Their heartthrob's trademark hair style and stylish walk made them adrenaline rushing. And then there are these critics and movie lovers who would love to see 'fresh' content. They seem quite unhappy with 'Lingaa' teaser.
"Rajni sported quite regular look and we're getting reminded of his past flicks like Sivaji. Except some vintage buildings, cars, ravishing Anushka and traditional Sonakshi's glamour spark, what else is there in Lingaa teaser? Such looks and visuals are done to death quite times" commented a critic. Probably critics are expecting 'too' much from commercial entertainer Lingaa.

8 Tricks for Avoiding Weight Gain This Holiday Season
- Reviewed by Kelly Kennedy, RD
Eat Healthy This Holiday Season
When it comes to navigating the buffet tables and open bars of the holiday season, everyone struggles — even the healthiest among us find ourselves tempted by all the treats! What keeps the temptation from leading to a season-long binge is having an arsenal of healthy tactics at the ready. Our experts share their own go-to tricks for making smart choices and staying healthy all season long, while still enjoying the holidays (and your favorite bites and sips, too!).
Eat a Sizable Breakfast
Making sure you don't skip breakfast the day of an event is common knowledge, but Alison Borgmeyer, MS, RD, takes the tip to another level. "I've been obsessed [with eating a large breakfast] since I saw a study in Obesity that showed overweight and obese women who ate the majority of their calories at breakfast lost more than double the weight — and twice as many inches — as those who ate the same number of total calories later in the day," says Borgmeyer. After employing these tips to lose her baby weight, Borgmeyer now uses the tactic during the holiday season to avoid weight gain. "If I fill up early with healthy foods that are slowly absorbed [e.g., those that are high in protein and fiber], I'm satiated all day and am less likely to get fatigued and irritable — and make bad choices at parties later in the day," she says.
What exactly does a "sizeable" breakfast look like? Borgmeyer's typical morning meal is a green smoothie full of fruits, veggies, and chia or hemp seeds, along with some egg whites or Egg Beaters, and a tea latte with soy milk on the side.
Party Like a European
Alcohol is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to falling off the healthy-eating bandwagon. Not only are alcoholic drinks generally high in calories, but one too many will have you swarming the snack table. If you have a hard time controlling your intake when imbibing at parties, Layne Lieberman, RD, author of Beyond the Mediterranean Diet: European Secrets of the Super-Healthy, suggests taking a hint from the Europeans and opting for a spritzer (half wine and half sparkling water), which slashes the calories of each drink in half. "Many of my Italian girlfriends add sparkling mineral water to their prosecco," says Lieberman.
For desserts, Lieberman teaches another European-inspired trick: "Think 'petit fours,' a French term that literally means 'small oven,'" she says. "The term is used to identify small bite-sized cakes typically served at the end of a meal. So — no more than a few bites of your absolute favorites." Allowing yourself a taste of a few special desserts will keep you from feeling deprived, while keeping your portions in check.
Dress for Success
You may not think your outfit of choice has anything to do with how much you eat at a party, but JJ Virgin, a certified nutrition specialist and author of The Virgin Diet, begs to differ. "Wear fitted clothing. Elastic waist bands have no business at holiday social functions; they give you permission to indulge in second helpings," says Virgin. "Instead, wear your most fitted little black dress, or the slimmest top and skinny jeans you can find. You'll think twice before devouring that gooey cinnamon-raisin bread." And the smart wardrobe choices don't stop there: Virgin also recommends ditching the shoulder-strap purse. "Keep both hands out of trouble by carrying a sexy clutch," she says. "You won't have free hands, and you wouldn't dare set down that sleek new Gucci bag to grab a turtle brownie."
Know Your Must-Haves
A key factor in maintaining a healthy diet throughout the holiday season is moderation. Let's be honest: Who wants to spend every holiday party in front of the veggie platter? Luckily, Alison Acerra, MS, RD, national director of nutrition and wellness for the food service operator Guckenheimer, says you don't have to. What you do need to do is identify your list of must-haves — those holiday favorites that you look forward to every year. "At holiday gatherings, from hors d'oeuvres to desserts, there are more than enough options to choose from," says Acerra. "It's important to hone in on the 'I must have' and the 'I could leave' foods. Why spend your calories on foods available to you any day [like dip, crackers, and bread] when a delicious made-from-scratch pumpkin pie is waiting for dessert? In the same vein, if you know your sister's stuffing leaves something to be desired but her candied yams are out of this world, perhaps that's the choice to make." Acerra employs this tactic of mindful eating to allow herself to enjoy the treats of the season without going overboard.
Rule of Threes
We enter holiday gatherings in a healthy frame of mind, vowing to have just a few treats and fill our plates with lots of veggies and lean proteins. Unfortunately, an overwhelming display of delicious foods and a few cocktails often leave our healthy intentions out in the cold. That's when Dana Santas, an American College of Sports Medicine certified personal trainer and creator of Radius Yoga Conditioning, employs her "Rule of Threes." "It's a common tip to count your chews while eating, but that's tedious and unrealistic. Instead, take three long, deep breaths in between bites or sips," says Santas. "This slows down your pace, giving you more time to be present and aware of your choice to take another bite." Then, Santas places her food and drink down on a table or ledge, and takes three steps away from it. "This means that it's always just out of arm's reach, and I have to step forward to get it," she says. "I become very aware of my pacing as I eat and drink. It's super effective for slowing you down."
Be a Hoarder
Think showing up to a gathering with snacks stashed in your purse is strange? Not according to Carina Sohaili, founder of Vibrant Healthy Life and a board-certified health counselor and a nutrition consultant for many celebrities. If you're rushing from daily activities straight to a party, with no time for a bite in between, having a quick snack on hand will help you stave off hunger and prevent you from arriving famished, which can lead to overeating. If you find yourself at a cocktail party or gathering with a growling stomach and less-than-healthy food options, the snack stashed in your bag will help fill you up so you don't overload your tray with high-calorie fare. She recommends keeping healthy, filling snacks in your purse or car for last-minute hunger emergencies. Her go-to? "An eighth of a cup of pumpkin seeds. They're packed with zinc [an important mineral in keeping the immune system functioning properly], healthy fats, and protein. The combination of protein and healthy fat keeps me satisfied and energized until my next bite."
Take the Broccoli Test
Don't worry — we're not going to tell you to fill your plate with green veggies all season! But envisioning it may just stop you from overeating, according to Adam Gilbert, founder of My Body Tutor, a weight-loss program that encourages results by offering daily personal accountability. "Many times, we're eating food simply because it's in front of us and available," says Gilbert. Before filling up another plate at the holiday spread, Gilbert says to ask yourself, "Would I eat broccoli right now?" If the answer is no, "we're no longer physically hungry; we're just eating for the sake of eating," he explains. If the answer is yes, he says, then you're actually hungry and it's safe to proceed — but do so with caution! "Cut up your food. It tricks our brain into thinking we're eating more," Gilbert says, "and eat with your non-dominant hand. Lots of laughs and less eating ensue!"
Imagine You're Drinking a Doughnut
Holiday gatherings and cocktails come hand in hand — you'd be hard-pressed to find a dinner party that didn't have the libations flowing. And while indulging in a few cocktails is totally acceptable this time of year, many people don't account for the extra calories in their daily allotment, which can really pack on the pounds after a whole season of imbibing. "When lifting up a glass of wine or a mixed drink, think of your alcoholic beverage as a doughnut or a big, fat cookie," says certified nutritionist Franci Cohen, "because in essence, alcohol is closest in similarity to fat than any other nutrient category [protein or carbohydrate]." Carbs and proteins each have four calories per gram, while fats clock in at nine, and alcohol has seven — placing it closer to fats on the calorie scale, Cohen explains. Envisioning each drink as a fattening baked good may just help keep your consumption under control.

We shoot weddings and family events as well as sports and we also make ads for small businesses. I also teach classes to people who want to learn the technical aspects of photography both in the studio between appointments and at students homes.
My favorite Utah photographers include, Francie, Bill Bates (mm 127047), Josh Waldron and others.
If you would like to contact one of the models in my portfolio, let me know. They are a pleasure to work with!
My goal here is to promote and advance my work in advertising and fashion photography. If you have any questions send me an email.

This is the song Harry Freakin Potter from A Very Potter Sequel. I re-wrote it for Munro because I thought it suited him very well what with all his fans. I am aware that I cant sing so I apologise in advance for your bleeding ears. All credit goes to AVPS and the starkids for the song. This is a parody song.
Lyrics: You're Munro Freakin' Chambers! You don't understand: you're a legend, man, to us all Every teenage girl... FALLS! ...in love with you, all because of Eli! You are hot, but I wonder if you had forgoooot?
Long story short: this guy, *Mark Fitzgerald*, was super mean... Fitz? Hoh!? Sssh! ... he tried to hurt you and your girlfriend, and this is where it gets intensely cool! Even though you were a lot smaller guy, you could've died but you survived and then expelled, Aaaaah... This bad guy and it's a story we enjoy to waaatch!
You're Munro Freakin' Chambers! We don't prefer Efron, Rpatz or 1D You're a whole lot hotter! With that smile of yours, you're a superstar to us all! If Clare's in trouble, we know who to caaaaaall!
- Dialogue*
You're Munro Freakin' Chambers! I wouldn't wince at all, you're bringing sexy back to our screens! Like Arnott's Tim Tams... Oooh! I wanna eat you up, no one'll hate on you with that charm! Remember Munro, kid: you're the Boss, you're the King, you're the BOMB!
You're Munro Freakin' Chambers! You're Munro Freakin' Chambers, ... And you're the Man! Aaaahhh! Munro Freakin' Chambers?!?!?!
