The Good News = Lightning move into a tie for first place in the Southeast Division
The Bad News = Tampa Bay fails to get both points, and possible injuries to Ranger and Fedotenko.
Tampa Bay-4 (Overtime)
With Atlanta's loss in Ottawa this afternoon, the Lightning needed just one point to move into a first place tie with the Thrashers. The held on for the point, but fell in overtime in South Florida 5-4 to the Panthers. Tampa now leads the division by tiebreaker with 69 points and hold the No.3 seed. Atlanta also has 69 and the Hurricanes, who won tonight in Montreal, are 2 back at 67. The Lightning has a game in hand on both division rivals.
The Panthers won their first game in extra time this year and move to 57 points, 2 ahead of Washington for 13th place in the conference. They are 9 points out of a playoff spot.
Back to the game … Johan Holmqvist struggled at times in net for Tampa, stopping 25 of 30 shots. The Lightning only put up 20 shots on Ed Belfour, including just 3 in the final period. Part of the reason for the low shot total was the absolutely horrific ice conditions that both teams battled. No less than three goals were the direct or indirect result of the puck jumping over or off of a stick. With 6 minutes left in the third period, the teams had combined for 5 shots and what seemed like 2 dozen giveaways. It was awful to watch, but both teams had to deal with it.
The "Lightnings,†as they were referred to by Panthers analyst Denis Potvin at one point, got goals from Martin St. Louis (2), Dan Boyle, and Eric Perrin. Assists were compiled by Vaclav Prospal (2), Vincent Lecavalier (2), Boyle, Perrin, and Brad Richards.
Ruslan Fedotenko suffered a thigh or knee injury when he was hit by Bryan Allen's raised knee late in the third. No penalty was called on the play. Paul Ranger also left the game with an injury, but the Panthers broadcast never addressed it. They were too busy fawning over Allen's hit on Fedotenko.
Blair Jones was a scratch for the Lightning and Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune speculates he could be sent back to Springfield on Monday.

Gamesheet from NHL.com
Mississauga 5 @ Brampton 0
Chris Lawrence had an assist in the IceDogs win and also finished plus-2. A relatively quiet night for Lawrence considering his recent hot streak.
Erie 2 @ Owen Sound 7
Do you criticize Kevin Beech for letting in 7 goals, or praise him for making 72 saves? Judging from the fact he was named the game's third star as the visiting goalie, it's the latter. It also turns out Beech was the "lucky" goalie to be in net when Marek Bartanus finally scored. Bartanus had a goal and was plus-2. Bartanus had gone 24 games without scoring a goal. It was his fifth of the year.
Vancouver 1 @ Prince George 3
Vladimir Mihalik was scoreless and plus-2 with 4 PIM as Prince George beat Vancouver 3-1 Friday. Mihalik had tripping and holding calls against him.
Kelowna 5 @ Everett 6 (Shootout)
Dane Crowley was plus-1 and scoreless for the Silvertips in their 6-5 home shootout win over Kelowna.
Mike Lundin was scoreless in #7 Maine's 5-2 loss to #13 Boston College. The Eagles were able to gain a little ground in the HEast standings as the two teams came into the two-game series tied for third. The win puts Boston College two points ahead of the Black Bears for third and two points behind Boston University for second. The teams play again tonight at Boston College.

TB-3 (Shootout)
The Lightning made up one of the two games in hand they had on Southeast Division leading Atlanta and took a somewhat difficult two points from Washington with a 3-2 shootout win. The Lightning pulled within just one point of the Thrashers. The Bolts improved to 8-1 on the year in the shootout, making me a fan of it for as long as this continues.
Marc Denis got a rare start in net and flashed a little glove and little attitude in stopping 36 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts to get the win. After making an rubber-arm glove save on Alexander Ovechkin in the third, Denis turned his head and glared at the superstar.
Vincent Lecavalier increased his league-leading goal total to 39 with both of Tampa Bay's goals in regulation (one PPG, one SHG). Martin St. Louis had the shootout winner as the third shooter for the Lightning. Denis had to make a Hasek-like sprawling save on a deking Matt Pettinger to secure the win. Kudos to Denis' armpit for that one. Assists on the night went to Dan Boyle, who became the all-time Lightning leader in points for a defenseman, Brad Richards, and St. Louis.
Kudos to Sun Sports' Rick Peckham for pointing out Washington's Eric Fehr is the former linemate of Ryan Craig from their WHL days in Brandon. Those guys, along with the Predators' Jordin Tootoo, were dynamite for the Wheat Kings. The Caps also featured Jeff Shultz, a former Calgary Hitmen teammate of Springfield's Mike Egener. Shultz was taken in the late first round of the 2004 draft; Egener at the top of the second round in 2003.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

This website is actually an affiliate marketer for ebay and buying of goods you want right here on our website is done specifically through ebay via our links. Many items have got multiple rebates in them, but since each rebate needs a genuine UPC tag to generally be delivered back along with it, most buyers tend not to make an effort on acquiring rebates whatsoever.
When bidding for a product within an auction website, ensure you possess a complete knowledge of the item you are attempting to bid on so that you would not be ripped-off for a bogus or a lowly priced product. There are some credit card firms that give an incentive to their customers with monetary discounts and also double guarantees whenever they purchase specific items.

`The common agenda is to defeat Siddaramaiah' `The common agenda of the two parties is to defeat Siddaramaiah in Chamundi'
DAVANGERE: The BJP will appeal to Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Deve Gowda to support the BJP candidate in the Chamundi Assembly constituency as the common agenda of the parties is to defeat the former Deputy Chief Minister Siddaramaiah who recently joined the Congress, Sadananda Gowda, president of the State unit of the BJP, has said.
Mr. Sadananda Gowda told reporters at Basavapatna village in Chennagiri taluk on Monday that the BJP was strong in Mysore and that the BJP had won four seats in the legislative council elections and also the last Parliamentary elections there. Hence the BJP would impress upon the Janata Dal (Secular) to support the BJP in the elections and defeat Siddaramiah.
The BJP would field its candidate in Chamundi whether a deal was struck with the BJP or not. The party would hold a meeting on October 16 to take a final decision in this regard, he said.
Referring to the violence in Mangalore, the BJP leader said that there was no need to institute any inquiry into it "as there had been sufficient proof that the son of a Congress MLA and Mayor of Mangalore had orchestrated the violence."
The police had to arrest them without any compulsions, he said.
The Congress, which had failed in its attempts to topple the Government, had resorted to disturbing peace and creating law and order problems as the last resort, he said.
To a question, Mr. Sadananda Gowda said that the membership of the BJP had risen to nine lakhs from four lakhs in the past two years. The party elections would be completed by November 10, he added.

Amon Düül II rose from the communal pit of Amon Düül I, a group of beaters and stompers who made three albums culled from the chaos of a single tribe-jam session. The second outfit saw the madness in that situation, and decided to do their own thing, and not worry about getting a new name (or fighting too hard for the first one). Guitarist Chris Karrer took with him seven of the collective's best musicians, and they formed what is generally thought of as the better half of this family. They're usually aligned with Faust (not really a good comparison), Can (getting colder) and Neu! (might as well say "Frank Sinatra"), but if indeed the band was ever typical "krautrock," they were decidedly closer to the rambunctious prog-rock side (though comparing them to Yes is even worse), with a liberal dose of heavy psych.
Amon Düül II was infinitely darker than most of their countrymen as well, with songs (or more accurately, suites) often running the gamut of proto-goth subjects: aliens, funerals, alien funerals-- they did it all. Of course, none of it would matter much without some seriously engaging music. I first got into Amon Düül II after a friend had compared Boredoms' Super Ae to their 1970 release, Yeti, and though that's a convenient reference, the German band were the far hairier proposition. Pounding rhythms, acid-attack guitar freak-outs, inappropriately wet reverb overdoses, and strange lyrics about H.G. Wells and toothpaste all contribute to the general strangeness that is an experience with the early works of this band.
1971's Tanz der Lemminge (Dance of the Lemmings) was the band's third album, and though they'd already taken the pedal off the spacy, overdriven metal a bit, it's still a sight removed from the pop charts. By that point, only Karrer, John Weinzierl (guitar), Lothar Meid (bass), Falk Rogner (organ) and Peter Leopold (drums) remained from the original group (plus a few guests), though that didn't stop them from filling up their second double LP in a row. The sound is something like old school Jethro Tull (uh-huh, though sans-flute) with so many odd sonic detours as to make the prospect of not one, not two, but three full-grown, epic-length goth-prog tunes (and some group improv to boot) not as daunting as it could be. And for the record, this stuff rocks the haus.
"Syntelman's March of the Roaring Seventies," at almost 16 minutes, is actually the shortest of the epics on Lemminge. Unlike Can, whose Tago Mago was released shortly after this album, Amon Düül II's lengthy pieces are generally fleshed out works, rather than pure studio concoctions and pastiches of improvisation or shorter segments. "Syntelman's" starts ominously enough with a wall of chimes and distant organ tones, but the insistent bass and drum groove boils to the surface, with Karrer's acoustic guitar (which is a major component on the album, and one reason why it feels less a hazy workout than previous releases) working over top, and even some light mellotron (sounding like a choir of children) to give it sci-fi charm. "After a long introducing, you can listen to the story," says the singer, and so another light acoustic guitar interlude brings in the next section. The band may have been influenced by Space Oddity-era Bowie, as many of the pieces featuring song-like sections are reminiscent of Bowie's more whimsical outings. All things considered, this is a pretty warm introduction to the band, if you were so inclined.
"Restless Skylight-Transistor Child" begins with one of about a hundred classic riffs featured on Lemminge-- and if there's one major difference between this album and its predecessors, it's the noticeable increase in major league, hard rock riffery. This leads to a completely different, though equally classic riff, and to still another riff after that. The last one, though, brings it down a notch, and even introduces some nice sitar to the mix. Where this band has distanced itself from the other krautrock bands is its unrelenting eclecticism and variety in its arrangements. Even Faust couldn't claim as many points of reference points as this tune: after the rocking intro, it goes to ghostly freak ambience, then to Musique Concrète broken carousel, onto über-Foghat territory with riffs aplenty, then to something that sounds like it was ripped off of the first Funkadelic album with Hendrix guitar and big beats, and then a crazy gypsy violin goes apeshit. See?
The final grossewerk is perhaps the centerpiece of the record, "Chamsin Soundtrack/The Marilyn Monroe Memorial Church." Where the previous pieces were long, they weren't necessarily mind-expanding (which is what I expect from the best Amon Düül II), and this piece makes up for that in spades. Beginning with cloudy, undefined organ/feedback ambience-- and with a little ancient violin lament here, future-shock noise there-- it is positively haunting. Percussion enters sporadically, though this piece is certainly not about groove. Romantic, heavenly organ repeats what the violin only hinted at earlier, and I'm taken to the next plane in space-rock. Pretenders usually wuss out by including some ridiculous spoken word thing or, even worse, start playing a guitar solo. Not these guys; after the organ, more sound affects and disembodied instrumental embellishments ensue, with the most horrific being the pounded piano about twelve minutes in. As psychedelic noise symphonies go, this is in a class all by itself.
Three shorter pieces end the album, most likely as sobering agents after the preceding journeys. "Chewinggum Telegram" is a fairly standard, early-70s hard rock jam, while "Stumbling over Melted Moonlight" takes out the funky trash and introduces the best demonic riff Black Sabbath never played. The end of the tune turns everything inside out, as the drums get filtered through what sounds like a telephone wire, and the guitar is replaced by weightless organ. The closer, "Toxicological Whispering" continues the end-jam, though with a lazy, repetitive riff more suited to closing your eyes and letting life drift by than just about anything else.
This is not my favorite Amon Düül II record, but it may be the best introduction to the band. Records like Yeti and Phallus Dei are fiercer (and certainly louder), but don't really cover the ground Lemminge does. And in fact, the band did slowly recede into commercialism throughout the 70s (though by no means immediately, as the two records after this one were almost as good), so it's possible this record just marked their transition into a calmer, gentler beast. But, a beast they were (and in some form, still are, for which their recent reunion testifies), and most folks are happy/horrified with as much.

Hi Shar,
I'm sorry this message won't be of much help based on the dates. My grandfather, Harvey Gendron, came to Fond du Lac in the late 1940's after traveling the midwest for his job on the railroad. He was born in Mountain Home, ID and raised primarily in the Escanaba, MI area. His father was Alphonse Gendron, b. 1877 in Montreal. Any connection there???

Cleveland and Port Stanley discuss possible Lake Erie ferry service
Lake Erie passenger ferries would carry tourists and a limited number of trucks between Cleveland and Port Stanley, Ont., possibly as early as next year.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
CLEVELAND—Lake Erie passenger ferries would carry tourists and a limited number of trucks between Cleveland and Port Stanley, Ont., possibly as early as next year, under a plan being discussed by port officials on the two sides of the U.S.-Canada border.
The service would likely start as a two-year trial and would be geared primarily toward taking people and cars across the lake, the Plain Dealer reported.
"Port Stanley told us right off the bat they don't want a lot of trucks," said William Friedman, president of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga Port Authority. "They see their future as more tourism, less industrial type of activities."
Cleveland-to-Port-Stanley ferry service has been talked about for years.
This time, Friedman's agency and authorities in Canada have asked vessel management company HMS Global Maritime, of New Albany, Ind., to study the viability of the plan.
Similar ferry service between Toronto and Rochester, N.Y., was plagued by mechanical and marketing problems and failed in 2006.
HMS Global Maritime also is exploring the types of boats that could be used for the trip across Lake Erie, an important consideration given that Port Stanley's harbour isn't dredged and is not as deep as Cleveland's.
"You certainly don't want it to hit bottom as that cruise ship in Italy," Friedman said, in a reference to the Costa Concordia, which ran aground and capsized Jan. 13.
A ferry ride between Cleveland and Port Stanley would take about 3 ½ hours. Prices and other details have not been determined.

If a company was to move from day to day, with no firm plans for the future, would be at the mercy of its customers and the economy without a strong control over their own destiny. There is clearly a need for a business development strategy good if you want to make the most of business growth for the future. But how do you go about creating one? First, will help point out some ideas for the development of your business. Are there aspects that have not yet been fully explored? How could you improve the services offered now to make more sales? Some of the typical strategies that can be used include focusing more on their current customers. You can find the road that connects with them more often, perhaps by sending email newsletters to keep up with their latest offerings. A good strategy here would be to will told you monthly article to do just that. The business development strategy effectively begin by identifying the needs of one that is present in your business. Then develop a plan to meet that need. Another example concerns the need to find more new customers rather than simply relying on your company currently have. A strategy to meet that need would be to increase the amount of advertising your business generates. It is important not to treat this as an exercise of a lien. Firms and markets in which they operate are constantly changing. This means that what might begin as a worthwhile strategy may be necessary to adjust the time. Constant monitoring is another important step to ensure the business development strategy is continually occurring successfully.
