-Wayne Babych (Canada):
Just their 2nd year as a franchise and the 2nd year of the tournament as an official IIHF tournament (1974-76 were not included), Portland had representation on Team Canada in the form of the elder Babych. While playing on a team with Wayne Gretzky, Babych, was 10th in the tournament in scoring with 5 goals and 5 assists for 10 points. Canada lost to Sweden in the Semi-Finals before finishing with a Bronze Medal.
-Keith Brown (Canada):
Canada dropped their first 2 games in the tourney and went on to a 5th place finish. Brown notched 2 assists over 5 games as the Soviet Union won their 3rd of 4 straight Gold Medals.
-Gary Nylund (Canada):
-Randy Heath (Canada):
Heath tallied 3 goals and 6 assists for 9 points and Canada went on to a 4th place finish. The Soviet Union continued it's domination of the official tournament with their 6th Gold Medal in the 8 years.
-Alfie Turcotte (USA):
Turcotte was the Winterhawk's first representation on a team outside of Canada and he notched 2 goals and 9 assists for 11 points, leading the team in scoring. The USA finished 6th overall. One interesting note from this tournament is that the leading scorer was Finland's Raimo Helminen who had 24 points, which set the record. He would go on to set the record for games played internationally and for playing in the most Olympics.
-Jeff Rohlicek (USA):
Rohlicek had 2 assists, helping the USA to a 6th place finish, as Canada won it's 2nd Gold Medal. Another highlight of his career was scoring the OT winner for the Springfield Indians in the AHL Calder Cup deciding game in 1990.
-Glen Wesley (Canada):
-Steve Konowahlchuk (USA):
The Salt Lake City, Utah native helped the U.S. to it's 2nd medal (both Bronzes), by scoring 4 goals overall. This WJC was unique in that the Soviet Union had just been dissolved and they were represented by the CIS or Commonwealth of Independent States. They went on to win the Gold anyways.
-Adam Deadmarsh (USA):
Deadmarsh was born in B.C., but had dual citizenship and was able to represent the USA. He was held scoreless in the tourney, which is the first time a Winterhawk had been at this tourney. The USA received 4th after losing to both Sweden and Canada, who would go on to place in the top two behind storied names like Peter Forsberg, Markus Naslund and Paul Kariya. Forsberg set the new record for points in the WJC with 31 in only 7 games, though the Canadians would win their 6th Gold Medal. Another interesting note from this year is that it occurred right after Czechoslovakia split into 2 nations, though the two would still play together as the Czech and Slovak Republics.
-Adam Deadmarsh (USA):
The first Winterhawk to play in consecutive tournaments, though he would again go scoreless and the Americans would finish even lower; 6th overall, even struggling to a 1-1 tie with last place Switzerland. Canada won it's 2nd consecutive Gold Medal and 7th overall, scoring at least 5 goals, in all but one game.
-Adam Deadmarsh (USA):
After playing 48 games with the Quebec Nordiques, Deadmarsh was sent to the WJC, before returning to the Hawks. He is the only Hawks to play 3 times at the WJC. He played much better notching 6 goals and 4 assists, leading the U.S. to a 5th place finish. The neighbors to the North, won another Gold Medal, their 3rd straight and 8th overall.
-Richard Zednik (Slovakia):
The first internationally born Winterhawk to represent at the WJC, Zednik scored 5 goals and 2 assists for 7 points, as Slovakia stumbled to a 7th place finish, oddly tying the rival Czech Republic the one time they played them. Canada won 4-1 in the Gold Medal game over Sweden.
-Brad Isbister (Canada):
For the first time in 10 years, the Hawks had representation on the Canadian team in the form of the Edmonton born power forward. He scored 4 goals and 3 assists for 7 points, including a goal in their 2-0 win in the Gold Medal game against the U.S. It was a record setting 5th straight Gold Medal.
-Andrej Pokonicky (Slovakia):
Andrej tied for 4th in the tournament in scoring with 3 goals and 5 assists for 8 points as they had an up and down WJC; beating the U.S., but losing to teams like Switzerland and Kazakhstan. The Slovaks would end up barely escaping relegation with back to back wins over Germany.
-Marian Hossa (Slovakia):
He formed a formidable line with Ladislav Nagy and fellow Hawk: Podkonicky also tying for 4th in tourney scoring. Hossa also played in the 1997 WJC, but I do not include him because he did not play with the Hawks until the next season. He also played for Slovakia at the 1997 World Championships. Thanks to the over time winner from Niklas Hagman, Finland would win the Gold Medal over Russia.
-Brenden Morrow (Canada):
Morrow had 1 goal and 7 assists for 8 points as Canada lost in Over Time of the Gold Medal Game to Russia behind a game winning goal scored by Artem Chubarov.
-Andrew Ference (Canada):
The defending Memorial Cup champions had two representatives in the same year for CAN for the first time, as Ference notched 1 goal and 2 assists for 3 points.
-Marcel Hossa (Slovakia):
The younger Hossa did not have the same production as his brother in the WJC, notching a lone assist as Slovakia barely escaped relegation with a 1-0 10 minute tie-breaking game win over Ukraine. It was made worst by the fact that their rivals: the Czech Republic won the Gold Medal with a shootout victory over Russia.
-Jozef Balej (Slovakia):
The electric Slovak had 3 goals and 3 assists, but his team still stumbled to an 8th place finish overall and the Czech Republic won their 2nd consecutive Gold Medal behind the Calgary Hitmen's Pavel Brendl.
-Marcel Hossa (Slovakia):
Marcel had a better WJC, this time scoring 1 goal and adding an assist for 4 total points. His total of 5 pts in 2 WJCs is less then Marian's 8 in 1998.
-David Turon (Czech Republic):
After having representation on 10 straight WJCs, the Hawks had nobody play in 2002, but responded with Turon being named to the 2003 C.R. team. Turon would end up playing only 43 total games for the Hawks. His WJC team would fail to accomplish what the previous years team's had done, losing in the Quarter-Finals en route to a 6th place finish. Russia would win the Gold over Canada 3-2.
Turon had 1 goal in the tourney.
-Braydon Coburn (Canada):
2 goals and 1 assist for 3 points, as Canada lost to U.S. 4-3 in the Gold Medal game. This was the Americans first ever Gold. Zach Parise was voted Tournament MVP.
-Braydon Coburn (Canada):
Probably the most dominant a Canadian team has ever played at the WJC, as they only allowed more then 1 goal once and outscored opponents 41-7 in the 6 games behind talented future NHLers like Patrice Bergeron, Ryan Getzlaf, Jeff Carter and Sidney Crosby just to name a few. They blew out Russia in the GM game 6-1, beating future NHL greats Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin.
Stefan Langwieder (Germany):
The defensive D-man would play only one year in Portland, but represented Germany at the '07 WJCs. Stefan had no points in the tourney and Germany finished with a 1-4 record, getting relegated for the next year's tourney. Canada won it's 13th title behind Tri City American Carey Price, who was MVP.
-Radim Valchar (Czech Republic):
After being left off of the 2008 team, Valchar made it in '09, notching 1 assist in 6 games, as the C.R. finished 6th overall. Canada continued it's domination with it's 15th title and 5th consecutive. John Tavares was named MVP.
-Luke Walker (USA):
The first Winterhawk to represent the U.S. since Deadmarsh, 15 years prior., the gritty two way player notched 1 assist in the tourney as the U.S., behind scoring leader Derek Stepan won it's 2nd title 6-5 in OT over Canada. John Carlson scored the winner.
-Nino Niederreiter (Switzerland):
-El Nino' scored 6 goals and 4 assists for 10 points, finishing tied for 7th in tourney scoring. The, mostly no-name Swiss advanced all the way to the Bronze Medal game before being dispatched by the Swedes 11-4. Future Hawk Luca Sbisa also played for the Swiss.
-Ryan Johansen (Canada):
The big centerman scored 3 goals and added 6 assists for 9 points as Canada collapsed in the Gold Medal game, letting Russia score 5 un-answered goals after taking a 3-0 lead and watch Gold slip right through their fingers. Johansen finished tied for 6th in tourney scoring. He was the first Hawk to be named to the All-Star team at the tourney.
-Nino Niederreiter (Switzerland):
Nino notched 5 goals and 2 assists for 7 points as the Swiss made it to the quarters before being ousted by Canada. They would finish 5th overall.
-Sven Baertschi (Switzerland):
Sven scored 1 goal and 1 assist for 2 points, making it the first time 3 different Hawks scored in the same WJC.
-Sven Baertschi (Switzerland):
The Swiss and Sven both had poor outings, as they barely avoided being relegated and he was held off the score sheet for the entire tourney. Sweden won gold for the 2nd time 1-0 in OT over Russia behind Mika Zibanejad's winner.
-Seth Jones (USA):
The big D-man from Texas had 1 goal and 6 assists in the tourney for 7 points, helping them to a 3-1 Gold Medal Game win over Sweden. This was the U.S.' 3rd title and Goalie John Gibson was named MVP.
-Ty Rattie (Canada):
3 goals for the sniper, including the only one for Canada in their 5-1 Semi-final loss to the USA. The Canadians would finish in 4th place overall, losing the Bronze Medal game in OT.
-Tyler Wotherspoon (Canada):
1 goal and 1 assist for the D-man in his only appearance for the national team outside of the WHC-17s.
-Nic Petan (Canada):
4 goals and 1 assist for 5 points as Canada went home without any medals for the 2nd consecutive year. It was nearly the same storyline as the previous year as they went unbeaten in group play only to fall twice in a row when it really counted.
-Taylor Leier (Canada):
The fantastic 2-way player was added after his great play in the Subway Series, but could not find the score sheet in the tourney.
-Derrick Pouliot (Canada):
Paired with future #1 NHL pick Aaron Ekblad for most of the WJC, he had 1 goal and 4 assists for 5 points and finished +2 overall. Future Winterhawk Mat Dumba also played for Canada.
This year Chase De Leo (USA), Nic Petan (Canada) and Oliver Bjorkstrand (Denmark), look to make their teams out of training camps and add more names to this very long list that includes 5 gold medal winners, 4 silvers and 2 bronzes. The overall career scoring leaders among Winterhawks are as follows:
- Turcotte (USA)- 11
- Babych (Canada)- 10
- Deadmarsh (USA)- 10
- Heath (Canada)- 9
- Johansen (Canada)- 9
If all three players at camps make their squads it will mean 3 years in a row that 3 Hawks have played at the tourney for the best players at this age level in the world and 4 of the last 5 years that this is the case.
The tournament gets underway on Boxing day (12/26) and continues through January 5th.

Blessed Tragedy #1
New Adult Contemporary Romance
Maddie Neumann died the day she pulled away from her parents' house determined to make her dreams come true. She wasn't the perfect little princess she'd been raised to be, all she wanted to do was rock. Everything Maddie was tucked away in a box to allow for her re-birth as Rain Maxwell; a badass rocker who answered to no one and lived by her own set of rules.
Rain's world is shattered with one phone call from her estranged family. No sooner does she get home than everything she thought she knew about her life starts changing.
Colton Bradford knew there was something special about Rain the moment they first met. Unfortunately, she had a hard and fast rule about dating a bandmate so he was stuck in the friends zone. When Rain is going through her own personal hell, will Colton finally be able to make her see how he feels and convince her to take a chance on love?
Available on Amazon
My thoughts:
Due to explicit sexual content and language, I'd recommend this book for mature readers (+18).
Blessed Tragedy is the captivating story of Maddie Neumman -a normal and good girl raised to go to collage and have a normal job- and Rain Maxwell -a hardcore chick who is the lead singer of a rock band. The thing is, they're the same person. After graduation, Maddie decided to leave everything behind to pursue her dreams of having a music career and with that she broke her family's hearts. When her mothers dies, she has to come home and leave the only family she's known for the past five years -her band mates of Blessed Tragedy- to reconnect with the family she left behind all those years ago. Expecting to find the resentful stares she grown used to, she goes to say her last goodbyes to a mother who never understood her, but what's waiting for her is acceptance. The problem is... now that her family has come to terms with who Maddie is, can she accept herself? Does she even know who she is? On top of that, she's getting really close to his band mate, Colton, and even when she had sworn to herself she would never be involved with a band member in that way, she can't fight her feelings anymore and Colton has made clear that he feels the same way. Can the band survive the turmoil of emotions that this new relationship will bring?
Maddie is a complex character, she's going through so much that you feel inclined to forgive her outburst and childness but sometimes you just want to shake her -hard- and make her see that she's the one in the wrong. Colton is a little bit too unmanly and I'm not trying to say that man are not supposed to have feelings but he was a bit too emotional for my taste, so I couldn't fall for him as much as I would like. I really loved the rest of the band members and Maddie's brothers, the only thing that bother me a little was that their names were too similar (Matt, Mike, Mark) and I'm really REALLY bad with names, so that confused me to the point that I couldn't tell you who is who.
The romance in the novel was intense. If you're looking for a happy and healthy relationship, this book is not for you. There are a lot of issues, misunderstandings, hit-first-and-ask-questions-later kind of situations with this couple and sometimes you want to pull all your hair out because they're not making any sense. But even then, I really liked it, because it was an emotional roller coaster and it felt authentic, like a real life couple with problems and low points.
The writing wasn't flawless but it was good enough for me. I enjoyed Maddie's point of view and her voice was nice and fresh. However, I'm looking forward to the second book on this series to see thing from Colton's POV and get a little more insight on Blessed Tragedy as a band, because even when music seems to be a huge topic in the story, there wasn't enough of the band work (such as the writing process, lyrics and musical arrangements) as I would have liked.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down once I started it. I thik Blessed Tragedy is a great story about love, about coming to terms with who you really are and about forgiveness and acceptance of yourself and of the people you love.
Some writers can tell you what book piqued their interest in writing a book of their own. I can't. Other authors tell you the name of a teacher who influenced and encouraged them to write. The only English teacher I can remember probably does deserve some of the credit for my success because she was one of the hardest teachers I ever had. Honestly, I don't know why I write; all I know is it's one of two things I can do that makes me feel completely free.
The first "official" writing I did was as a fifteen year old high school sophomore. My dad was part of an APAzine and, for whatever reason, I started guest writing on his zine. That led to me getting a zine of my own in the Turbo Charged Party Animal APA. Rope the Moon (named after the John Michael Montgomery song and a nod to my dad's influence on me) was the ramblings of a child in a world of adults.
I was held to a high standard because most of the contributors were my dad's age. They were somewhat hesitant to allow a kid in, but they voted me in after those guest contributions. To this day, I feel blessed to consider some of those members friends.
Sometime after high school, life got in the way of my dreams. They keyboard was dusty. Looking back, that's also when I felt my most restless. After my daughter was born, I started my first blog, More Than Mom, as a way to vent about my struggle to hold onto the identity I'd owned for 27 years.
In 2006, I heard about NaNoWriMo for the first time. I jumped in with the enthusiasm of anyone who's never tried to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. It was a damn good story. Did I mention I'd never written anything of that length before? Yeah, that's important because it means I never lost a work in progress of that length before. It was November 14th and I was over 24,000 words when my hard drive failed. And with the loss of my manuscript, I lost the drive to write for a while.
In 2012, I attempted NaNoWriMo again, this time saving in so many places I'm sure I'll be finding partial copies of Bent everywhere until the day I die. The thing they don't tell you with NaNo? When you hit 50,000 words, that doesn't mean you're done writing! So, I kept writing until I was done. And then I edited. And edited some more. Deleted a bunch of scenes, added others in. Had some trusted friends and mentors read it and then tweaked it some more.
In January 2013, I made the single scariest click of my mouse that I will ever make. I published Bent. It's been a whirlwind year and it keeps picking up pace but I've never before felt so blessed to be where I am!
I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions, comments or even a good joke!

Beyond Belief: Positive Thinking ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti
Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Being Beyond Belief Series
To 'believe' is also to say 'I don't know'. A belief is not necessarily a truth. So how are we to realize and know our own truth? How do you know that you know? What is the difference between belief and truth? In this series of Being Beyond Belief, we will examine how certain beliefs get in the way of the truth.
Beyond Belief: Positive Thinking
We believe it is good to be positive, to believe you are or would like to be a 'positive thinker'. Why is a positive thought to one person a negative thought to another? Rainy weather may be positive for the farmer but not so positive to the vacationer. Is life in Black and White? It is hard to escape this dualistic trap yet we yearn to see things as they are. Do you ever feel as if you are stuck in the tension of opposites? How to align my thinking and not force positive thinking? Learn and discover for yourself.

Director Len Weisman honed his craft on loud action films like "Live Free and Die Hard" and the "Underworld" franchise.
His remake of "Total Recall" boils down to a two-hour futuristic chase movie with grandiose psychedelic overtones. The complex screenplay borrows elements from many action and sci-fi formulas.
Start with a heavy dose of "Blade Runner." Add lots of James Bond and Jason Bourne super spy exploits. Mix with advanced police state tactics from "Minority Report." Add a sprinkle of psycho dust from "Inception" and "Memento." And you end up with a non-stop adrenaline rush set in a disturbing future. But the PG-13 rating hides the R-rated nature of everything else in this film.
Colin Farell is the buffed stud at the center of this mind-bending tale. He goes to a company that promises to turn his spy fantasies into real life memories through a chemically induced program. Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel are the two hot babes he encounters as the strange program unfolds. Determining what is truly real is the mutual task given to the players on screen and the audience alike.
'Killer Joe' is Deep Fried and Disturbing
Matthew McConaughey turns in another standout performance as "Killer Joe," a brutal little piece of deep-fried depravity from director William Friedkin ("The French Connection").
As a slick Texas detective-contract killer, Joe is hired by low-life Chris (Emile Hirsch) to kill his mother for the insurance money. Chris convinces his father Ansel (Thomas Haden Church, terrific) it's the only way for Chris to pay off his gambling debts, but Ansel insists his new wife Charla (Gina Gershon) get a share of the profit too.
Since they can't pay him up front, Joe decrees that Chris' virginal sister Dottie (Juno Temple) will be his "down payment." Chris, Ansel and Charla greedily make the deal with devil, but of course there will be hell to pay later.
McConaghey has always had a bit of an edge (most recently displayed in "Magic Mike") and here he plays it brilliantly, playing a quietly terrifying guy and yet the most principled in this very perverse comic noir. Even the junkyard dog whimpers in his presence. He plays Joe as pure evil but with his own code of values and genuine feelings for Dottie.
Be warned: "Killer Joe" is extremely disturbing. And you may never want to look at a bucket of chicken again

The beautiful game. Oh the cliches. The truth is that the game stopped being beautiful long ago. No, I take that back. The televised game stopped being beautiful long ago. The beautiful game still exists, far away from one that is shown on tv. The beautiful game can be found in streets around the world, dirt fields, bumpy/patchy open areas or any section of space that is transformed into a make-shift soccer field.
There is beauty in the movement, there is beauty in the passing, there is beauty in that perfect pass that is conceived in the mind but is yet to materialize. And finally, there is the ultimate beauty in a goal, the move that started it leading up to the ball ending up in the net. Joy for the team that scored and despair for the other. The ultimate emotional soap opera.
It is with these eyes that I once viewed the game, both on tv and on those streets far away from any cameras. But the game on the tv changed, slowly at first, and then rapidly. The movements became faster coupled almost with the fast pace of cash being poured into the game. Money does not always translate into wins even though the common perception is that the winning team is the one that spends the most. Claudio Ranieri's Leicester City banished that belief back in 2016 but that was a rare occurrence in the Premier League which seems to only distribute titles among a select few.
They also say that money buys quality. But what is quality? In a 90 minute game, that quality only shows itself for 2-3 minutes and usually it manifests itself in a single goal. But a 1-0 win is still a win. And that is all that matters. A single goal.
4-5-1. The end of the beautiful televised game started with that. The suffocating formation used by two coaches to drain the game of any quality. 0-0 games. 90 minutes of 0-0. Nothing happened in those games. Now, 4-5-1 does not directly imply 0-0 but it is all in the execution. But two managers in England, one Portuguese, the other Spanish, used this formation in the most negative game killing manner possible. And then others followed. Then that formation eventually went away but the idea of game killers and negative players remained. Sure, 0-0 went away for the most part but somewhere along the way, attacking players, especially centre forwards started disappearing. The tradition centre forward is an endangered species in the game now. Most teams lust for a defensive midfielder in lieu for an attacking player.
As the money poured in, only a few teams were left competing at the top. The European Cup was once a tournament where a team could emerge from the shadows and steal a win. But slowly, the big clubs wanted to be there all the time. And so the Champions League was born. Teams who finished 2nd to 4th in their domestic league wanted to be there all the time. Such is the case of Arsenal.
For Arsène Wenger, going from an unbeaten championship season to 4th became the norm. The Arsenal board told Wenger that he had to ensure 4th every year until the new stadium debt was paid off. Prior to this requirement by the board, Wenger proclaimed that Arsenal could dominate English soccer like Ferguson's Man Utd. Clearly, Ferguson didn't take that well because he stayed in the game long enough to ensure no one could ever match his trophy haul. Ferguson delayed his retirement and found new ways to keep bouncing back and winning titles. Man Utd and Ferguson were Wenger's rivals but after 2004, Wenger found a new rival in the foreign money coming into the league. Wenger was irritated by the new money that flowed into the English League and that likely reminded him of the bribery that took place in the French League back in the early 1990's. The influx of money meant that Wenger changed his ways. His goal changed to be only 4th by spending as little money as possible. In doing so, Wenger would forget his own target of dominating the league and winning league titles.
It has been 13 years since Arsenal last won the league. It has also been 13 years since this blog was started, with the first entry coming five days before Arsenal finished the 2003-04 season unbeaten.
So much has changed in this blog over that time, the structure, look, and content. My love for this blog has not changed in that period but the frequency of posting has gone down. That has not been by choice but by circumstances. Many posts have been written in my mind or my computer but never made it on the website. A perfect example is this post has been written in my mind many times over the last 7 years yet never actually posted.
It was January 2010 after Arsenal lost 3-1 at home to Man Utd that I uttered that Arsenal would never win anything under Wenger again. In a way, I was proven wrong as two F.A Cup titles arrived in 2014 and 2015 but the league has stayed elusive. Back on that day, Man Utd raced to a 3-0 lead and for once, there were no excuses for Wenger to hide behind. Until that game, Wenger could always blame other factors for his team falling short, such as an incorrect ref decision, a nasty foul, a bad pitch. Yet, on that day, Man Utd didn't need to foul Arsenal, they didn't need Rooney to dive for a penalty, they didn't need a waterlogged pitch. On that day, Man Utd showed the tactical difference between the two teams. That game highlighted that Wenger had fallen well short of Ferguson and there was no catching up.
I uttered these words to other fans but was told to shut up. The belief in Wenger was strong back in 2010. Those fans said that it was only a matter of time before Wenger would lead Arsenal to glory again. That glory has not arrived. Instead, painful defeats have arrived at such a regular frequency that it is no longer a surprise.
There is no fun in watching Bayern win 5-1 over Arsenal every time. Of course, there is no fun in watching Bayern play anytime, anywhere. Certain members of Bayern Munich's establishment like to think their values are above the crazy spending of the English League. Yet, Bayern have poached many players from Dortmund. If Bayern had any values, why would they buy players from their rivals and keep strengthening at the expense of their opponents? As far as on-field play goes, a player such as Lewandowski can score at will. But, he also dives when needed. There lies the problem. Talented players who don't need to dive continue to cheat all the time. It is now a part of the game. But it should never be part of the game. Divers can be punished afterwards, even if their name is Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, Neymar, Rooney.
There is also no fun in watching La Liga where Ronaldo and Messi are always in constant battle to score more goals than each other. Real Madrid and Barcelona dominate the headlines and are so big that every player in every league says one thing "It is my dream to play for [Real Madrid/Barcelona]". The interviews are all the same. New players come and go, coaches are fired or forced out, goals are scored frequently, titles are won and the cycle continues.
Real Madrid, Barcelona represent the need to win titles at all costs while Arsenal are the opposite and represent a team that never wants to win titles at any costs. Neither situation is healthy. Yet, that is how things are. The Arsenal board and owner don't care what happens. Wenger doesn't care about winning and is intent on staying, like a dictator from one of those countries you read about in the news. Of course, this is how the cycle works. The man who transformed Arsenal from a boring football team into an exciting force is now also the man who has overseen its decay. He has tarnished his legacy and the bright future that he once oversaw for Arsenal is now in ruins.
I can finally say what I have wanted to say for a long time. Arsène Wenger and his stubborn ways have slowly destroyed my love for the televised game. He should have left 7 years ago, 3 years ago, 2 years ago. Yet, he wants to continue at Arsenal for another 2 years. He should not be allowed the luxury of that decision. He should not even be given another day at Arsenal.

I think part of the reason that I'm fighting so hard for the chance to be a mom someday is because I want to give my children the kind of life that I have, where I never have to question or wonder if my mom loves me, because her actions and words show it a thousand times a day.
So there's that sappiness.
More than anything else, I thought my mom deserved (and would like) an afternoon out of the house.
So I planned us a little picnic.
^ Sometimes, overestimating the amount of time before a self-timer photo is taken.. makes for an awkward candid shot haha.
I kind of like it. :)
It was unanimous that our favorite snack from the picnic was the pears with goat cheese and dried cranberries. I definitely encourage you to try that combo sometime, if you haven't already. It's a winner!
Also, super proud of that little floral monogram that I made my mom. Pressed flowers are the prettiest!
Already trying to figure out when we could have our next relaxing afternoon.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

Run out of parking coupons? Delay in activities resulting in parking fines? Fret no more, these problems will be a thing of the past. From 1st October 2017 motorists in Singapore can download Parking.sg app available for both iOs and Andriod. The new parking app allows for a fast and convenient to pay and renew parking charges at all of the 1,100 public car parks still using paper coupons. However, the app is currently only available for cars. It will subsequently be available to both motorcycles and heavy vehicles by the end of the year.
All that is required from the parking app is the carpark code number which will be displayed prominently at the entrance of the carparks and on kerbsides. Parking charges will be charged in blocks of 30 minutes. In the event where the parking session ends earlier, motorists will be refunded based on per minute charging. A notification will also notify the motorist if the parking session is about to expire and motorists can opt to extend if required.
The current paper coupons will not be phased out and will still remain in use. You can find out more about the app at parking.sg. Or visit HDB website on the news of the launch.

Yes you can still make money working online.
But the rules have changed, ignore them and the changes and on your head be it.
Now after Panda, they let out the Penguins and to be honest I don't normally take much head of them, I just write the pages I want to write, and publish. I think if I need to be thinking about changes I must be doing something that is wrong? (does that make sense)
IF I keep to the search engines guidelines of building good, quality content, then I need not take interest in what these changes are, these changes are to benefit the searcher, and give people what they want.
The changes at the Platform Squidoo has changed with big consequences for many, leaving a tornado of near destruction to many who have built their business model around Squidoo.
HUGE mistake, never build an income around 1 place. There is no point moaning shouting , screaming, the changes have been made they locked your work. You had success, you built more, and more and more and more pages (so many that we then had a site that looked nothing better than a million cookie cutter lenses.
I mean how many pages can you have with a list of the same amazon products.....after some time they all start to look like one before it.
|Available to Buy
The original goals of Squidoo is not The path Squidoo eventually took by letting and may I add with Quests encouraging us to create pages "SOLELY to send people to amazon, may have been a money maker in the beginning, and lots of people adopted the same or similar strategies after seeing others huge success.
I always had a reservation that if hundreds of these pages which were similar and started to appear, then something had to give. People got greedy and made even more, then more came along and enjoyed the fringe benefits, and so the web was spun. growing even more and more.
After several week of research, and NOT finding much information to "cite" I have come to a very brave conclusion, Squidoo as you knew it is over. So please suck it up and lets move on.
I want to make another thing clear Squidoo and its future is however not OVER. With the changes they have made the hard stance against the gamers, cheaters and spammers.
Just check out the forum and the cry of Help my lenses got locked. And many innocents are caught up in this too.
They followed what they saw or thought was popular. I am amazed at the amount of "niche" accounts many have popped up with WOW, I did not know they and so many of them existed!
Seth Godin himself said if you are not willing to let it be known its you and put your name to it, then that tells you something.
I have been gobsmacked at the scale of the secret niche accounts, from many. I was going to set up niche accounts but gave up as I saw no point in them.
No wonder HQ are mad, and no wonder they have taken the steps they have.
I say well done and thank you.
With Penguin 2.0 with even more rollouts guaranteed to shake up the searches, certain types of pages are not welcome on line and at Squidoo and ARE coming under the umbrella of "doorway pages" - (doorway pages are solely created to entice/create as link bait visitors and searcher to their pages, to get YOUR visitor to click on the site where they can buy -
"If you have came to solely to promote an affiliate product" (that includes adding lots of amazon products via the Squidoo modules with no real rhyme or reason but to SELL SELL SELL) then we no longer want your content, or words to that effect.
They give us the tools, does not mean we need to use them all and stuff everything in and the kitchen sink use the platform wisely, abuse it and your locked out.
There were a few "systems" put around where you could buy the how to of Squidoos. I never followed, something always held me back I just didn't agree in the system, that encouraged people to quickly put up pages to solely manipulate the system in place, multiplied by 10,000+s, was always going to end badly for everyone.
I would also be looking at the extra "niche" accounts of many, and how they used those niche accounts to jump on the apparent successful bandwagon and manipulate the system. Churning out lower quality pages than they would have had on their "main account"?
It is OVER, get over it. Google and quite rightly Squidoo are putting their foot down. Many are saying "oh well I will just take my content else's where? WHAT....are you not listening to why these very strong measures are being put in place?
My feeling is penguin has only just started.
I feel as though all in this group can go forward and move along with h this, the ones who solely are setting up pages (AND I have seen MANY still being published.) with collecting their favourite items on Squidoo adding a little bit of fluff, ARE in real trouble, not jus ton Squidoo but anywhere....
In fact take a look a this page How Do I get Files and Pictures off my old PC? (this link will open in a new window)
Can you guess what I sell? Why does Google STILL send me lots of lovely traffic?
I have taken a common problem, and given a step by step solution, and the solution entails buying a simple gadget. THESE types of pages are what you should be making. IF you want to survive working online.
As we move into Penguin 2.0 I also believe Google is looking at writers using Google Authorship as a key to how YOU will be ranked.
It will not matter where I write, eventually it will be who I am, am I a trusted source of information, am I a known writer in my niche.
Key Notes for SEO moving forward online creating a sustainable income working online.
- Google Authorship - Get yourself set up and link all your work together.
- If you have lost work think seriously about moving it to another platform? Whether it is your own hosted blog or someone else's platform.
- Create pages that are informative think quality content, your first thought should not be what you want to sell. This should be a by product of your page.
- Be mindful of keyword density (this is a biggy for me)
- Write useful pages that ARE going to be shared, bookmarked, and talked about.
How are you going to move forward
That's it simple. Write good quality pages. If your aim is to solely direct your visitors to a sale then your time is over.
If you are still a little fuzzy about creating pages, and what types consider reading this page, by a relatively new Squid Nikon Mocro lens For Novices
But it gives personal content, photos, and why I should buy or why I need the product on the page.
This is the way forward.

Upcoming 2011 Surveillance TestsBy: John Honovich, Published on Apr 25, 2011
In this post, we preview approximately 30 upcoming video surveillance tests we plan to release in 2011. This should give you a sense of the topics we will cover and let you provide feedback. In addition to these listed tests, as usual, we plan to provide extensive market, trend and new product analysis. Moreover, as new developments occur, we will consider other tests.
In general, the focus of our tests is shifting from individual product tests to comparative tests of multiple products. We believe these more complex tests better reflect the real world use and show more clearly competitive differences. We already have dozens of individual product tests of leading products.
Scenario Shootouts
The goal here is to take multiple well known cameras, place them in commonly used surveillance scenarios and see how well they perform and differ. There is a huge benefit of seeing how the video looks in real world scenarios that users actually deploy. Our Parking Lot Shootout is a good example of this approach.
- Intersection
- Garage
- Lobby
- Restaurant
- Doorway / Entrance
- License Plate Capture
- Harbor / Waterway
- Hallway
- Retail
Technology Shootouts
The goal here is to understand how different technologies compare:
- MP vs PTZ: Determine if MP cameras can replace PTZs and under what conditions
- MP vs Multiple SD Cameras: Determine how many SD cameras a MP can actually replace
- Bandwidth vs Quality: Analyze quality differences from various manufacturers relative to the amount of bandwidth consumed
- Headlights: Handling glare from vehicle headlights at night
- Professional IR Illuminators: We've already covered budget IR illuminators. Now, we want to know if the Professional IR brands make a difference.
- White Light LED Illuminators: As an alternative to IR LEDs, the goal is to see difference in image quality, use of color, etc.
Product Tests
We still plan to do a number of product tests. The tests will have more of a comparative focus and on changing product trends. A major element will be examining the shift of Asian brands to marketing premium priced IP cameras.
- Sony Shootout: Sony has 3 levels of IP cameras now (V, E and X). The goal is to determine the tradeoffs between the three - especially with the very low cost E series.
- Axis Shootout: Axis has 2 levels of fixed IP cameras: M and P. The goal is to determine the performance tradeoffs between the two.
- Axis vs Sony Shootout: Take the cameras above and pit them against each other to find differences.
- Avigilon H.264: See how well Avigilon's H.264 performs and how well it integrates with 3rd party systems.
- ACTi 4MP
- Vivotek Supreme
- Hikvision 2/3" CMOS 1080p
Additionally, while we already have a very broad series of VMS testing, we plan to add tests for the following VMS systems
- Verint Nextiva
- Genetec Security Center 5.0
- Aimetis Symphony
- March Networks Command
I encourage you to ask questions in the comments about what we are testing, how we plan to test or other tests you'd like to see. I am happy to explain our rationale and process to whatever level you are interested in hearing.

Name: Beer Geek Breakfast
Style: American Double / Imperial Stout
Brewery: Mikkeller
I've been dying to try this beer for awhile now, and for several reasons. First, the flavor profile advertised just sounds fantastic. Second, I've never had a beer from Denmark. And third, this is one of the coolest beer names I've ever seen. All of the aforementioned reasons have made me curious to the point of obsession.
Poured from a 1 pt. 9 oz. bottle into a freezer chilled pint glass. I probably poured this a little too cold. I just took it out of the fridge and it went right into the glass, but it will warm as I sip. It pours super super dark. No sunlight can escape this beer. Dark enough to swallow anything up. It is where bad beer goes to die. I haven't had Deschutes Abyss in quite some time, but I find it hard to imagine that any beer can earn the name Abyss above this one; not by appearance alone anyway. There is a 1/2″ frothy coffee head that just won't dissipate, no matter how many times I throw glances at it as I ramble about the darky darkness.
It smells as any good Imperial Stout should and does. Coffee, chocolate, oatmeal, malt, with some nuttiness. And now I want an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.
The first sip of this beer refutes any comparisons I make between this and other stouts. Before I can even break down the flavors, the bitterness hits. It is very much like espresso in mouthfeel, but not overpowering in flavor. Still, make no mistakes, this is a man's beer. I'm not saying this to shoo away women, but rather anyone that is a lukewarm beer drinker. If you've never had an Imperial Stout, don't make this your first. It's not a benchmark for the style. It is very unique.
Despite the bitterness of this beer, it's creamy on the tongue and not too sharp. Hop bitterness usually makes beers taste sharp, and often herbal, especially California pales. They're ideal for drinking with something spicy or fatty. The bitterness will cut through the fat. This beer might be good with a steak or something smokey or gamey, but it's easy to drink at the same time..
Overall, this is just an outstanding beer. Unfortunately, it's $10 a bottle, which makes it a bit of a one-off. Still, I have no regrets about the purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone that is a fan of North Coast Rasputin or Deschutes Obsidian Stout.

The quake of Tuesday 8 of August, hit an area that includes a popular national park known for its spectacular waterfalls.
Local government in southwest China says the death toll from a strong earthquake has risen to 20 with 175+ injured.
Our partner for China, Vastitude, has been activated immediately in order to monitor the effect of the earthquake.
COSMO-SkyMed has been tasked to acquire high res images over the area and today from the Matera station, we sent the interpherometric pair, (two identical images acquired in different days, thanks to the capability of the italian asset), and Vastitude is producing the results.
"We are really sad about this event that bring us to the earthquake in the Central Italy happened last yet during the summer. We are proud we can provide through and with Vastitude, our key partner in China, support in this unlikely event with COSMO-SkyMed technology, with our emergency center and with promptly produced added value products." , said Massimo Claudio Comparini - CEO at e-GEOS.

Ordinary Girlz interviews author Glenn Synder as part of his One Moment
in Time Virtual Book Tour.
Tell us a little about your book, what it's
Glenn: One Moment in Time is a story about how one person can change
the world. It's a story about Jack Barrett, an average person who after a
horrific accident has a new outlook on life. He sets out on a series of
adventures that leads him to become one of the world's greatest
What genre is this current book, do you write in any other
Glenn: Literary Fiction would be the best genre. It's my first novel, but my second novel (in progress) will also be a literary fiction story.
When did you first decide you wanted to be a writer, at what age?
Glenn: I was twenty-four when I really thought about writing a
Do you have a day job or do you write exclusively?
Glenn: I wish I could write exclusively. By day, I'm a finance director at a large financial services firm. I actually really like my "normal" job, and it provides me the resources to be able to travel, which is where I do my best writing.
When did you start writing your first book?
Glenn: January 2002. I had just graduated from MBA school, which
I did while working full-time. I figured that I was used to extra hours on
top of my finance career, so this was probably going to be my best
How long does it take you to write a book?
Glenn: Since I'm only writing part-time, it takes awhile. I wrote half of One Moment in Time in my first six months writing, but then I started teaching at San Francisco State, my other, other job. It took me another two and a half years to finish the first draft. After that, I re-wrote the book three more times with the help of a wonderful editor. After a total of six and a half years of writing, my novel was ready.
Do you have an outline when you write or Do you just write and see
where it goes?
Glenn: I do a little of both. I like to have a general idea of
where I want the story to go, but when I start writing, I let the writing flow
and sometimes the story changes in the moment.
What is your writing process like, do you have any weird quirks when
Glenn: The weirdest quirk is that I have a hard time writing at home —
too many distractions. So I write when I travel. I occasionally travel on
business, but whenever I take a trip somewhere, I write in the airport, on the
plane, in the hotel, and sometimes, if I'm by myself, I write while out at a
nice restaurant enjoying dinner.
What kind of research went into this book, tell me a little bit about that process.
Glenn: I was very surprised at how much research I had to do. I
traveled totally for three weeks, Mexico for eight days, Pacific Grove for a
weekend, and Sonoma for a week. I know, that sounds more like vacations
than research, but I experienced almost everything my characters did.
While in Mexico, I interviewed the U.S. Consulate, met with the Mexican agency
for adoptions, and spent time at an orphanage. I even traveled to Mexico
City to interview people at the office of the INS. I wanted my story to be
as authentic as possible.
What is the most interesting thing you learned about while writing your
Glenn: Besides how incredibly hard it is to write a good novel? Actually, there were so many things I learned it's hard to pin point one. Maybe it was the tedious process on adopting a child from another country, or it could be that as charming and beautiful Venice, Italy is, the city is completely geared towards tourists and has very few Italians living in there.
What motivated you to tell this story?
Glenn: The story actually came to me in a dream. It was one of those dreams that you remember every detail long after you wake up and go through your morning routine. I was so excited about the dream that I instantly knew that was the story I wanted to
How have you marketed this book?
Glenn: Being a finance person, marketing has been much more difficult for me than the writing. I have a website (www.OneMomentInTimeNovel.com) and have tried social media. I'm on Goodreads, LibraryThing, Facebook, Twitter, and Shelfari. I'm pretty new to the social media "thing" so please drop me a note or like my page.
Do you have any other work out?
Glenn: This is my first novel, although I did publish a supplement to a corporate finance text book through McGraw-Hill.
What projects are you working on now?
Glenn: I am about two-thirds through my second novel. It's a story about a successful stock broker whose wife is poisoned. His life begins to crumble, as he's accused of the murder. The press hounds him and the publicity costs him his job and friends. He's in a fight for his life, all the while trying to grieve for his wife that he dearly loved.
What has been your toughest criticism? What has been your best
compliment as an author?
Glenn: The toughest criticism I received was that my story started too slowly. It took me a long time to figure out how to re-work the story, but I really like the way it is written now.
The best compliment has been my readers telling me how much they loved Jack. I tried to create a person who people would really care about, and it gives me great pride when I hear that I achieved that
What do you do when you're not writing?
Glenn: I'm a season ticket holder with the Oakland A's, and I play racquetball a few times a week. I also enjoy traveling and seeing new countries and new parts of the U.S. Unfortunately, my wife and I have a hard time getting away as much as we would like.
What do your friends and family think of your writing, have they been
Glenn: My wife has been my number one fan and supporter. She's been an unbelievable sounding board, and I certainly wouldn't be in this position without her. The rest of my family and friends have been incredibly supportive as well. It actually makes me laugh that I have a few really close friends who bought the book because it was my book, but they have yet to read it. I guess support comes in all shapes and
Do you hear from your reader much, what has the feed back been like?
Glenn: Occasionally, I get a note or a posting. I love to hear directly from my readers, because it gives me an unbiased assessment of my writing. My readers can email me through my website or any of my social media sites.
What was your favorite book growing up?
Glenn: It was probably A Tale of Two Cities, but The Little Engine that Could was tops on my list for a while.
Tea, coffee or hot chocolate
Glenn: Definitely hot chocolate (with marshmallows)
Cat or dog ?
Glenn: There's nothing like the unconditional love from a dog.
Print book or e-reader which medium do you prefer?

Glenn: Dying before I get to achieve some of the things I've set out to do.
Greatest wish
Glenn: To make a difference in other people's lives.

Glass half empty or half full ?
Glenn: Half full, I'm definitely an optimist.
Favorite color
Glenn: Deep forest green
Favorite place
Glenn: Marin Headlands – It sits just over the Golden Gate Bridge, and on a clear night with the moon shining off the bay, it's the most beautiful place on Earth.
Light or Dark
Glenn: Dark – for sleeping and watching TV, Light for baseball day games.
Most embarrassing moment
Glenn: I think I will keep that one to myself.
I would like to thank Glenn for taking the time to answer our questions, I know he has spent a lot of time getting prepared for this Virtual Book Tour, and we appreciate the time taken to spend with us. We wish you much success with your writing career I can't wait to see what the new Novel brings.

Characters: Darius Akaelae, Quinn
Hmm. Sounds like they've either woken something up or activated a dormant guardian.
Either way, they're going to regret this in the morning. Which is now.
I can't stand it! The more I look at "Dirty Darius", the more I can smell him! Its that rolled in roadkill smell. I just wanna hose him down and assault him with a scrub brush. :p
Mebbe its a "decontamination" unit that's coming for them lol
M*O: Foreign Contaminant!
No, it's the sound of chaaaaaarging a massive vacuum system (or a plunger), that'll shoot them outside. 😉
Or something. 😉
This can only be bad.
This can only mean whole swarms of metal bees farting in their faces instead of just one. XD

text: I was okay with everything, even not having checkpoints, however, the skip time button is preventing me from playing to get the other endings. I was happy when I was able to use it, however, it seemed to skip over EVERYthing, except just the animations. If the skip time button just was used to fast forward to the next dialogue, then I would LOVE this game.

I belong to a charismatic Church, and one consequence of that is that there are fairly consistent reminders that we would all quite like a "revival" to happen. I dislike this sentiment, passionately.
Not that I have any problems with revivals, clearly there have been a number of clear periods in history when God has worked in a specific and powerful way which resulted in massive numbers of people coming to the Church (and many within the Church realising what it was actually about!).
The trouble is, when you keep chatting away about the next revival, you start trying to make it happen yourself. You look back at Church history and say, "well, the such and such revival happened primarily because of the 24/7 prayer they started", and then the automatic reaction to that is "well, lets start up a 24/7 prayer movement so that revival can happen".
Frankly, I don't care whether another revival happens in my lifetime or not. Obviously it would be an amazing thing to be caught up in the middle of a revival, but that is not what God has called us to. There is nothing in the Bible telling us to sit around and wait for revival to happen. We have Jesus, we have the Spirit, we have the Father, we don't need to wait to start doing what we would end up doing in the midst of a revival anyway.
Lets just get on with praying like we ought to, preaching what we ought to, and generally living out a life of obedience which results in the gospel being shared with the people we meet. And lets not do it because it might spark a revival, lets just do it because we're Christians and there is no better reason.
