PLAYERS: Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Last June when the Sprint Cup Series was at Michigan, a long winless streak was broken. Junior Nation rejoiced as Dale Earnhardt Jr. pulled into victory lane to celebrate his first Cup win since 2008. It was a day that Earnhardt Jr. and his fans won't soon forget, but they are also hoping they can get to victory lane again sometime soon. Earnhardt Jr. showed his strength on the freshly repaved Michigan and that could give him a leg-up for this weekend. It's anyone's game with the Gen 6 car at Michigan, so it could be Junior celebrating at the end of the race or it could be another driver looking to break through for a victory. The Quicken Loans 400 is schedule to take place on Father's Day, Sunday, June 16, 2013. Green-flag time is scheduled for 1:16 PM EST. The race will be made up of 200 fast laps and 400 exciting miles. Sunday's weather forecast shows a chance of rain, but there is a 60% chance of sunshine with scattered thunderstorms. You can catch the race through TNT's broadcast or on the radio on MRN. There was a party among Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans last year when he won this race to break his four-year dry-spell. He didn't just get lucky and win, he was competing up front for most of the afternoon. The track was extremely fast last August after the repave, but with the Gen 6 car this year, it could be even faster. Earnhardt Jr. will definitely have a shot at winning this weekend, but he'll need an exceptional performance to do so. As we head to Michigan this weekend, many drivers are hoping to run well to attempt to stay in Chase contention. One driver that likely will run well on Sunday that really doesn't need to is Jimmie Johnson. He hasn't seemed to miss a beat this season and his points lead stretches over a full-race. All that sounds good, but could it be undone in one weekend? Likely not, but Johnson's track record at Michigan doesn't favor him performing exceptionally well. He's either on it or not on it at Michigan and its one of the few tracks where he has not scored a victory; he currently sits at 0-22. Of course, there are more drivers than just Johnson in the field on Sunday. Other drivers that are likely to be running up front include Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, and Greg Biffle among others. To take Johnson off of his throne atop the standings, the drivers directly behind will need to start out-running him and if history proves true again, they'll have a shot to do so. The Chase is nearing and the summer always seems to fly by so it's go-time for all the drivers. Speed. That's what we'll be talking about all weekend as a lightning fast race will likely be produced by the mixture of the Gen 6 car and the surface at Michigan. As much as Jimmie Johnson has struggled here in the past, he'll likely be able to continue his dominance this season and run very well this weekend. It'll be a battle to control the Motor City until August and whichever driver pulls into victory lane on Sunday will definitely make their manufacturer happy. This win will mean more this weekend since the race is in the car capital of the world and every driver wants to be the one bringing home the trophy. Event Schedule 11:30 AM- 1:00 PM EST (Friday) Sprint Cup Series Practice, televised on SPEED 3:35 PM EST (Friday) Sprint Cup Series Qualifying, televised on SPEED 9:30-10:25 AM EST (Saturday) Sprint Cup Series Practice, not televised 12:30-1:30 PM EST (Saturday) Sprint Cup Series Final Practice, televised on SPEED 1:00 PM EST (Sunday) Sprint Cup Series' Race, the Quicken Loans 400, televised on TNT Next Race- Toyota-Save Mart 350 at the Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California

"I must tell you that I commented that night when he did come on stage with his two beautiful little girls looking so proud, as he was as well, but when they left and went to the back, I noticed it even more... I felt that he wasn't walking well and I thought that was due to some injuries that caused that. I also noticed that when he came to speak, that he seemed, I don't want to say out of breath, but he was sweating and all that. I didn't think too much of it on the night and thought maybe he was nervous or whatever, but I just didn't feel like there was something wrong with him and I had no idea whatsoever as to what was to follow, that was quite a shock." - Bruno Sammartino discusses Ultimate Warrior condition before death

In order to show support, MVP took his own time and money to travel to Ferguson to be part of the protest. While the TNA star was pleased by the show of solidarity in the community, he did note that there were a few people there who were making the situations worse. MVP was more than likely referring to the looters who were taking advantage of the situation.
August 18, 2014
A post on Twitter from Tommy Dreamer, where he praises MVP for getting involved in the protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
August 16, 2014
MVP is not the only TNA performer who is involved with the Ferguson protests and riots. It has now been revealed that Davey Richards has been working as a paramedic in the area. The tag team champion sent a message to MVP to be careful as Richards has witnessed a lot of the crazy things that have been going on up there. The protests are said to be much more peaceful as of late.
August 16, 2014
Sometimes, you watch the news and find a cause that makes you want to stand up. The entire country is in an uproar after police officers shot and killed a teenager named Michael Brown. A big protest was started, and TNA star MVP flew into the state to take part in it. He stated that this was a last minute decision because sometimes "shaking your fist at the television is not enough."
August 14, 2014
Last month, rumors were finally squashed about WWE bringing back the Nation of Domination stable with R Truth, Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. Speculations have started back up again now that WWE has formed an on screen alliance between Kingston and Langston. Management reportedly canceled the plans previously because they did not want to make it seem like they were copying TNA, which recently launched a stable with MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley.
July 8, 2014
Prior to his injury, there were plans in place to have MVP winning the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Eric Young. Since the company needed a heel champion to be the antagonist against Kurt Angle and his new on screen authority role, the belt went to Bobby Lashley instead. There are talks that TNA could try to figure out how to transfer the belt over to MVP soon.
July 5, 2014
After being given some time off of television, where his character was serving a story line suspension, Bobby Roode made his much anticipated return to Impact Wrestling this week. The former TNA champion came back to save Eric Young, who had just lost the world title, from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Roode received a warm reception from the audience.
June 19, 2014
Since MVP has a badly injured knee, TNA decided to change up the main event of Slammiversary 2014. Eric Young will still be defending the world heavyweight championship in a steel cage at the event, but he's now going to be doing so against two opponents. The winners of the respective matches between Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Kenny King and Austin Aries will be challenging Young for the belt.
June 13, 2014
During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, MVP revealed that he was going to try to fight through the knee injury and work Slammiversary 2014. The former United States Heavyweight Champion is scheduled to challenge Eric Young for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the pay per view. Management is still working on a backup plan in case his knee does not hold up, however.
June 11, 2014
In the storyline, Bobby Roode is serving a suspension from Impact Wrestling because he confronted MVP, who recently turned heel. Apparently, that suspension could be ending soon, as the longtime TNA star is being advertised for Slammiversary 2014 weekend. He does not have a match, but there is a very good chance that he could be making his on screen return that evening.
June 3, 2014
There were rumors a couple of weeks ago that WWE was going to bring back the Nation of Domination stable as a vehicle for Big E Langston, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and R Truth to have something to do. However, it now appears that management has opted against that. Some believe that WWE does not want to make it seem like they're copying TNA, which recently introduced a stable with MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley.
June 2, 2014
A picture of Chris Masters sipping coffee in Amsterdam while wearing a neon Randy Savage shirt. The former WWE star revealed that he was hanging out with MVP in Europe at the moment.
June 2, 2014
While he is currently one of the top stars in the company, don't expect MVP to remain with TNA for the rest of his career. During a recent interview with the Mirror, the former United States Heavyweight Champion confirmed that he wants his wrestling career to end overseas. MVP wants another big run in Japan before he retires from the business.
June 1, 2014
Slammiversary 2014 takes place later on this month, and the main event might be in jeopardy. Originally, Eric Young was scheduled to defend the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against MVP, but the challenger suffered some sort of knee injury while working an independent wrestling show in England over the weekend. No word yet on the severity of the injury, but MVP was limping pretty badly.
June 1, 2014
In case you did not catch Impact Wrestling this week, Samoa Joe made his return to TNA. He received a bit of a pop as he came back to save Eric Young and Bully Ray from an attack by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley in the final segment of the show. Upon signing with TNA, MVP specifically mentioned Samoa Joe as a performer that he wanted to work against, so that feud could be happening soon.
May 30, 2014
MVP is taking the weekend off from TNA live events, so that he can travel to England to work a big show over there for PCW. Promoters there have also booked Al Snow, Shane Helms, Low Ki and Chris Masters as well. One of the things that MVP asked for in contract negotiations with TNA is to have some freedom and flexibility to work overseas still.
May 30, 2014
For story line purposes, MVP has suspended Bobby Roode for his actions on the latest episode of Impact Wrestling, where the former world heavyweight champion confronted MVP about a title shot. Rumor has it that TNA is building up a big match between these two performers for down the line. Prior to joining the company, MVP specifically listed Bobby Roode as someone that he wanted to work with.
May 14, 2014
For those of you that do not watch Impact Wrestling on a regular basis, MVP has done a heel turn. The former United States Heavyweight Champion has also given himself a shot at Eric Young and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Slammiversary 2014 as well. Management pulled the trigger on the move, as they feel that MVP could be more valuable as an antagonist.
May 9, 2014
Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
While the majority of the pay per view has already been announced, there are rumors backstage that an eight match could be added. Davey Richards and Eddie Edward are expected to be given a spot on the show, and their opponents could be Zema Ion, Robbie E and Jessie Godderz. There are also talks that MVP could be added if TNA doesn't want to do a handicap tag team match.
April 21, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.

constant stream of trucks rumbling by outside window of ground floor unit disturbing--they were still passing till 8-830 pm fri night and STARTED 6-30 am Sat morning heavy double trailer cement trucks customers should be aware
Friendly and helpful reception, clean comfortable room, quiet in spite of traffic, good view in spite of being on the ground floor,easy check-out.
Very little, if one has to be picky, the TV sound was too quiet.
Check in staff great and informative Room large, clean with added advantage of personal hot tub Kitchen well equipped A lovely walk along the front to the town centre (approx0.6k) but some great restaurants closer.
View walking distance into town
Noise on stairs carpark not big enough not enough tv channels
Size and comfort of room. Service was excellent
We were in one of the back units. I from picture thought we would be facing beach.
very good accommodation, excellent facilities, very relaxing place
Wifi didn't work during the night Laundry didn't arrive at promised time
Location Staff Complimentary newspapers Free wifi
Only 2 pieces of sets of crockery so that continual washing was needed Mattress too soft Heating inadequate for winter
Terrific staff, and lovely location. Very clean and spacious. Location perfect for walking into town and great food spots close by
Kitchen pretty tight and bath/kitchen cupboards chipping paint needs attention.
View. Spa
No lift to 3rd floor
Friendly accommodating staff, very clean facilities, fantastic comfy bed, beautiful linen, great studio room. We will come again
No Dislikes
Lack of off road car parks if you come back late at night you are likely to miss out on a park
spa view roominess reception staff location
Art Deco design and spacious room with a large spa bath. Great view from the balcony to the beach across the road. Such a vibrant area with lots of restaurants along the same road and easy walking distance to the centre of town. Beach side is a great area for lots of activities.
Leaving! Would have enjoyed more time here.
Did not stay long enough
The wonderful spa bath
There was no specific area for sitting outside to catch a few rays of sunshine in the afternoon. The front deck did receive morning sun. Guests were taking chairs out onto the car park area in the afternoon.
Everything Extra bed service
The location is excellent, staff are always friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable. In the past I have never had a complaint about this property - until this stay.
The noise levels - and NOT from the traffic!! Having a room on the ground floor basically right at the foot of the stairs was a terrible idea. Everytime someone used the stairs it echoed and rumbled through the room.. and this was particularly annoying later on the friday night, and again at 6am on Saturday morning when a group/family thought it a good idea to run up and down and call out to others up on the next level.. they were standing right outside our bedroom window :-(. If I should choose to stay there in the future, I will never stay in a bottom room again!!
Late checkout LOVED THE PLACE WILL COME BACK
Three staff knocking at different times to see if I checked out
Because I arrived by a special Steam train and a lateish arrival the location to the station was very handy. Being tired it was a lovely surprise to be greeted by a very helpful receptionist, and the room was exceptional. Unfortunately it was for one night so wasn't able to take advantage of all the unit supplied. I hope to return soon for a longer stay. Thank You.
the size of the unit, the ocean facing deck, closeness to town
Spa in lounge! Clean and tidy Great shower Location
Nothing to really dislike!
We stayed in a studio so we had a big comfy bed, a huge Spa bath, big bathroom with a good shower, kitchen facilities and a lounge area. Real milk provided with a generous selection of tea and coffee.
One of the towels in the bathroom was dirty, but all the others were fine. There were saucepans in the kitchen to use but no frying pan, which is a more useful item when you have no oven. After sleeping the first night I woke up with insect bites all over my shoulder plus two on my arms and one on my ankle. They didn't look like bed bug bites or mozzie but maybe some sort of mite. Suspect it was something in the bedding.
Location - able to walk to city centre and eating facilities Lovely to sit on balcony and look over the Parade. Loved the spa pool. Very comfortable bed. Very clean. Would certainly recommend.
If people chose to run up and down the stairs outside, it could be noisy due to what they are made of. This only happened one night.

I am in Chicago and I hope that I will hear from people.
5 years ago, after a terrible divorce, I wanted a fresh start with something positive. I lifted weights for over 20 years and decided I would do a bodybuilding competition. I am (was) in excellent shape. Because I had a baby at 43, I developed a split in my abdominal muscle. I needed to fix that if I wanted to do the competition.
That's how it all started.
I went to my trusted plastic surgeon for a consult, who did a nice job on my breasts, which had shockingly pancaked out after I finished breastfeeding (1st plastic surgery I ever had at the age of 45).
This man grabbed skin around my abdomen like a clamp and everywhere else, pulled out on it, and insisted I needed a complete body lift and thigh lift. I did not. I had some MILD skin laxity at the age of 45, but nothing near that warranted what he insisted. Because I was a novice in this game, I was very intimidated, and although I was stunned at this 'assessment', I succumbed to his powerfully manipulated 'diagnosis' and allowed him to do the procedure, which was traumatic. I awoke in seizures and spent 3 days in a rehabilitation home. After that, the results were mortifying. I had no idea I could pursue anything legally and went to Northwestern Hospital, seeking another specialist to correct the major deformities created by the horrible bodylift (Northwestern Hospital touts itself to be the best hospital in Chicago with top doctors. It is self-proclaimed). There I encountered another slew of practitioners (whom at the time, I believed were top in world because when I called the physician's referral line, I was told that patients fly in from all over the world to see this physician for these types of surgeries). From day one I had a series of complications from the redo that this surgeon did. I developed seromas, open wounds that did not heal, severe scarring, more deformities (my buttocks had unnatural bulges that were imbalanced), and pain. For almost 3-4 years I kept going back to this surgeon to put out fire after fire of issues. His 'treatments' of the issues created more issues. My left hip has caved in and he was liposuctioning me repeatedly in an attempt to fill it in with fat. After doing this about 4-5 times, painfully, he hit my hip joint with the cannula where I developed such huge swelling that I couldn't walk, and my legs began to have irregular divots and lumps from the repeated liposuction to get fat to fill my left hip. It interfered with my profession of being a personal trainer. I spent the last year icing and doing physical therapy to just walk normally.
I finally stopped going to him because my life had become an endless loop of incessant visits to Northwestern that were costly and exhausting, with worsening results after each attempt. He also induced me into a different procedure that has debilitated me, and cost me more. The money loss and physical drain that this has taken on my life and effects on my family are a sin.
After almost 2 years, and some healing from the repeated liposuction traumas, my left hip is still caved in, my musculoskeletal system is misaligned, I have severe scars and impingements, and I have discomfort from the redo (the unnatural lumps in my buttocks cause pain and interfere with natural movement).
Because the symptoms have been worsening I sought a consultation with a new surgeon to see if there was anything minimally invasive that could possible improve my quality of life. I found a plastic surgeon who had superb reviews and I went for a consultation to see if there was a minimally invasive procedure where he could possibly remove the abnormal fat lumps placed on the sides of my buttocks, and possibly fill my left hip, which is down to the bone, and pulls my body unnaturally. This surgeon appears to be ethical, has an extraordinary resume. He took his time to review ALL medical records of what was done to me. He showed me serious abnormalities that are present in my body as a result of the specific 'technique' (if you could call it that), that this surgeon did. What I saw on my MRI's from this Northwestern surgeon nauseated and stunned me. I am currently in the process of working with this new surgeon to find a way to relieve my pain, and improve my functionality, without causing me anymore damage because of the severe scarring that I have, as well as the misplaced and compromised condition that the prior surgeon has left my body in. The discovery for me is 5 years after the fact now, and the new surgeon himself aroused this revisit because he stated (which is unusual for a doctor to speak against another doctor in Chicago) that he was pretty bad with what this other doctor did, that his 'technique' was poor at best, and that the procedure that he did was common knowledge to just not be effective or proper. Unfortunately, I am past any statute for any restitution.
As I read these forums of story after story of repeated pain, suffering, financial drain, and life changing consequences from plastic surgeons, I reach out to people to relay that action has to begin with changes in the law, and if enough of us are willing to act, a law firm might get aroused for interest.
There are a few good doctors left, but this field has become severely predatory, and the greed and destruction is rampant because there is no accountability. If people can get away with something, they will continue to do so until a law change makes them pay. There is no greater lesson than one learned from severe loss.
I hope to hear from people.

Maple Leafs are a mess no one's sure how to clean up (Trending Topics)Ryan Lambert at Puck Daddy1 hr ago
This is what happens when you chase mysticism down a rabbit hole.
The Leafs have, for so long, been on the hunt for whatever it is that made them quote-unquote successful in the lockout-shortened season, spiraling themselves deeper into the world of finger-pointing and second-guessing with every embarrassing loss. And there have been, at this point, a lot of embarrassing losses to choose from.
Randy Carlyle has been coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs for three "full" seasons plus 18 more from before the aforementioned lockout. He's coached 168 games for the Leafs, including last night's home tilt with Tampa, the results of which matter not at all (full disclosure: This is being written in advance of that game, which they ended up winning, but regardless of whatever the result might have been, great victory or gutting defeat, the problems of this Leafs team remain its problems and will do so until something is done behind the bench and in the front office). None of the losses, though, were more humiliating for him and his charges and bosses and fans than Tuesday's titanous 9-2 loss against the Nashville Predators.
NHL Three Stars: Bjugstad leads Panthers; Tatar's pair helps Red WingsSean Leahy at Puck Daddy7 hrs ago
No. 1 Star: Nick Bjugstad, Florida Panthers
Bjugstad did almost everything for the Panthers, scoring twice in regulation and later netting the deciding goal in the shootout as Florida got past the San Jose Sharks 3-2. The Panthers have now won four in a row in San Jose. The multi-goal game was the third of Bjugstad's career and second in three games.
No. 2 Star: Tomas Tatar, Detroit Red Wings
Tatar scored Detroit's first and last goals during their 4-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets. His most important of the evening came 2:10 after Justin Abdelkader's tying goal late in the third period to give the Red Wings the lead for good:
No. 3 Star: James van Riemsdyk, Toronto Maple Leafs
Two days after allowing nine goals to the Predators, the Maple Leafs put up a five spot and beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-2. JVR netted his eighth and ninth goals of the year as Toronto snapped a three-game losing streak. Jonathan Bernier made 26 saves in the victory.
'Legion of Doom' reunite as Eric Lindros, John LeClair enter Flyers' HOFSean Leahy at Puck Daddy14 hrs ago
After all the drama that went down while Eric Lindros was a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, time healed all wounds. He triumphantly returned to Philadelphia during the 2012 Winter Classic and received a roaring ovation from the Citizens Bank Park crowd.
"The Big E" was back in Philadelphia on Thursday to join his fellow "Legion of Doom" linemate John LeClair in being inducted into the Flyers' Hall of Fame. Before their busts were unveiled, the two were greeted by the third member of that dominant '90s trio: Mikael Renberg.
Over a three-season span Lindros, Renberg and LeClair posted a combined 305 goals and 666 points before being broken up in 1997 with the trading of Renberg to Tampa Bay. They were a monster of a line that helped Lindros win the Hart and Pearson Trophies, as well as lead the Flyers to the 1997 Stanley Cup Final.
Habs swap Rene Bourque for Ducks' Bryan Allen in deal of 30-somethingsJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy17 hrs ago
Rene Bourque has found a taker!
The Anaheim Ducks decided to get rid of depth blueliner Bryan Allen in order to add Bourque, the Montreal forward and streaky scorer, who hasn't really scored since the 2010-11 season.
In fact, Bourque doesn't have a goal this year at all and was sent down to Hamilton of the American Hockey League where he at least has two goals and two assists in four games.
"Pushed down to a seventh defenseman role when everyone is healthy, Allen had an assist and four penalty minutes in six games with the Ducks."
"The trade has the appearance of teams moving high-salaried players whose long-term roles had diminished."
The paper is right! Allen is in the final year of a contract that pays him $3.5 million. Bourque's contract pays him $2.5 million, but carries a $3.33 million salary cap hit.
Slava Voynov charged with felony for 'corporal injury to spouse with great bodily injury'Josh Cooper at Puck Daddy17 hrs ago
Suspended Kings defenseman Slava Voynov has officially been charged with domestic violence stemming from an Oct. 19 incident that allegedly involved him and his wife.
According to the Orange County Regsiter, Voynov has been " charged with one felony count of 'corporal injury to spouse with great bodily injury,' the Los Angeles District Attorney's office announced Thursday."
Also in the Register's report, from the Los Angeles Distrct Attorney:
"'During an argument at their Redondo Beach home on Oct. 19, Voynov caused his wife to suffer injuries to her eyebrow, cheek and neck, prosecutors said. The injuries were serious and required medical attention at a local hospital where the defendant was arrested, prosecutors added.'"
Per the report, if convicted, Voynov could spend up to nine years in prison. The native of Russia could also face deportation issues.
Arizona State hockey offers fun, sun, cactus but little traditionJosh Cooper at Puck Daddy18 hrs ago
Imagine you're Greg Powers.
You're sitting in a recruit's living room and you're selling the virtues of your college hockey program.
Pretty much everyone before you has sold some sort of tradition, winning, respect for 'the game' and whatever else their program has to offer. But you have an ace in your sleeve.
You can offer sunshine. You can offer warmth. On those off days, instead of being stuck in the library with snow outside you can say, 'hey, study by the pool next to some palm trees and cactus.'
"On the non-scholarship level, we really sold and pushed the most unique college hockey experience in the country, and now we can really … with even more confidence, on any college hockey prospect, because we are," Powers, the coach of Arizona State's newly minted Division-I men's hockey team said. "We are the most unique college hockey experience in the country for kids."
Sounds way better than the regular run-of-the-mill Midwest college hockey powers.
NHL Fantasy Hockey: Why Mark Giordano is a stud, Matt Niskanen a dudDobber Hockey at Puck Daddy19 hrs ago
Dobber launched his fantasy hockey website back in 2005 and has been Puck Daddy's resident fantasy hockey 'expert' since 2009.
Every season as we draw closer to the quarter pole, I wander over to BehindtheNet.ca to take a look at some of the extreme PDO results. Any earlier in the season and the results are too volatile for my taste. The reality is they're too volatile now, but at least the stats are starting to settle down, which makes it easier to find some of the players who are over- or under-achieving.
The PDO is a very basic stat - a quick measurement of luck, more or less, but one that can draw your attention to certain players who warrant further investigation. Here are the notable players with PDO (and, generally speaking, On-Ice Sh%) numbers that are too high. Their current pace is probably not sustainable and if one were to play the odds they would "sell high" on these players at some point over the next month.
And on the flip side, here are some notable players with a lower PDO and in many cases a rather abysmal On-Ice Sh%. These guys should see a market correction over time.
Buffalo snowstorm causes postponement of Friday's Sabres-Rangers gameSean Leahy at Puck Daddy19 hrs ago
The massive storml in Buffalo earlier this week that dropped nearly six feet of snow on the city and snowed in Patrick Kaleta for Tuesday night's game against the San Jose Sharks has caused the postponement of Friday's Sabres game.
The New York Rangers were scheduled to fly to Buffalo on Thursday, but were told to unpack after the NHL made the decision.
"There's a lot more important things in life than a sporting event," Sabres head coach Ted Nolan said, via the Buffalo News. "But sometimes when you're going through tough situations that sporting even takes you away from reality for a couple hours and gets you to think of something else."

Man falls asleep on ice resurfacing machine during AHL intermission (Video)Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy20 hrs ago
On Tuesday night, the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL hosted the Norfolk Admirals. As many teams do, the Checkers invite fans to ride on the ice resurfacing machine (Zamboni, the Zamboni people reminded us via email, is trademarked) to keep things trademark generic). It's the thrill of a lifetime, a moment some fans would never forget.
Or a chance to take a nap.
As captured on this short YouTube clip, a fan caught flies as the ice was resurfaced. Some fans – like Joe Hospoder, who hipped us to this story – wondered if it was a dummy or mannequin. Others probably wondered if this was narcolepsy at best or rigor mortis at worst.
So what was it? We asked the Checkers, and they said:
"He was just messing around. Did it the whole ride, but popped up right after."
OK, then kudos to you, sir. That's ... well, that's a unique sense of humor you got there.
Whew. That's a relief. For a second, we thought we were watching "Weekend at 'Boni's."

Life, one breath at a time
Henrico man recovering after second double-lung transplant
At age 28, Chad Southward has already wiped out two pairs of lungs, survived two catastrophic illnesses, and endured two life-saving surgeries with lengthy recoveries.
And he's got the medical bills to show for it.
What's more, he's been cheated out of the newfound career he loves – one that might have helped him pay off some of those bills.
But you won't hear him complaining. Southward is grateful for every breath.
A month after his second double lung transplant on Nov. 13, Southward's days at Duke University Medical Center were a dizzying round of clinic visits and rehab appointments.
"Pulmonary, x-rays, bloodwork, blood gases, breathing tests, infectious disease, eye doctors, diabetes docs, bronchs and GI studies," he recounted in a blog.
Yet, he added, "I could not ask for things to be going better. I feel amazing.
"I am walking a mile and more in 30 minutes. I am walking, biking, and lifting weights every day."
The repeat transplant became necessary after Southward's first set of transplanted lungs began to fail, following a triple onslaught of respiratory illnesses.
In 2009, while a teacher at Stonewall Jackson M.S. in Hanover, he went to school one day feeling under the weather. Within an hour or two, his students began to ask if he was okay.
He wasn't. He had pneumonia, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and ended up being airlifted to University of Virginia Medical Center.
And the two-year wait for a new set of lungs began.
More One-on-One
One month before his third birthday Chad Southward was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, and his parents – who had never heard of the disease – learned that the celebration might be his last.
Having suffered from symptoms of severe asthma since birth, Southward was already in and out of the doctor's office several times a week.
But now his parents were hearing what sounded like a death sentence. He had a particularly serious form of CF, a progressive disease that produces thick mucus -- hampering breathing and digestion and scarring the lungs.
Southward's mother, Pat Franklin, recalls that she and her husband, Stuart, eventually adopted the attitude, "God knew we were good parents and would do whatever it took to be sure Chad had the best life possible.
"We knew that God had given us an angel."
Southward's parents have since divorced, but remain close friends – a fact that Southward says he cherishes.
"Having to be in hospitals my whole childhood made my parents always be together, whether they were officially married or not," he says now. "I was the bond holding them to each other."
His mother believes that CF also brought the three of them closer together as a family.
"We were blessed with more one-on-one time with Chad," Franklin says. "He required chest PT three times a day, and during those times we talked about school, golf, his Little League baseball team, his friends, everything and anything that might be bothering him."
Waiting rooms
Graduating from Varina H.S. in 2001, Southward went on to Hampden-Sydney College to study English.
At 18, he had already been told that he should get on a double lung transplant list.
"My lung function at that time was a reasonable 30 percent," says Southward. "Three years later, when I finally received the long-awaited call for the transplant, I was living with 18 percent lung function."
It was during that three-year wait for the first transplant that Southward says he hit his lowest point. He became so sick his junior year that the doctor advised him to transfer to Virginia Commonwealth University, to be closer to MCV. So Southward struggled through a semester at VCU – only to learn that he would not be able to take his exams at the hospital and complete the courses.
"I thought I'd done everything for nothing," Southward says. "I wanted to give up. . . [until] Dad talked me out of it."
Re-enrolling at HSC, Southward acknowledged that he might die before finishing the semester.
"But that's where I wanted to be," he says. "[At least I'd be] pursuing something, not just sitting home and giving up."
When the call came that his new lungs were ready, Southward was visiting his friend and roommate, Shawn Shurm, at the river.
On his blog, he recalls that his mother began crying hysterically as soon as she saw the number appear on caller ID. "She was running around the house, throwing clothes into a suitcase," Southward writes. "I learned later all she packed was two pairs of socks and 15 pairs of underwear."
Of the operation, he acknowledges, he had it easy compared to his parents.
"I was asleep the whole time. I cannot imagine the stress of being awake all those 13 hours, not knowing if your child was going to live through a surgery most people would not survive.
"[In my parents minds] I guess I died and came back to life hundreds of times during that waiting room period of time."
Southward's mother contends that only twice did Chad truly scare his parents: during a 30-day hospital stay in his freshman year of college; and during the more recent bout of pneumonia, flu, and RSV.
"Within 24 hours [of the 2009 illness] he was on life support,"says Franklin. "I can truly say that was the only time when his dad and I thought we might not be bringing him home."
'I owe her a lot'
Since his November transplant, Southward has spent large parts of his days at the gym – on a regimen to exercise his new lungs – and playing with his dogs.
"They've definitely helped me these last two years," he says of Ally and Dusty, recalling the pre-transplant days when he was on oxygen and needed a walker to move. "They keep me company; they've kept me going."
He is also considering possibilities for his next career move, now that the doctors have nixed a return to teaching.
"Too many germs," he says with a sad shrug. But he stays in touch with former students from Stonewall Jackson, and from the small private school where he taught earlier, via Facebook.
His surgery, new set of lungs, and medication all come with high price tags. But with the help of the Children's Organ Transplant Association (COTA), Southward's family and friends are organizing fundraising events [see below] to offset the costs. Meanwhile, he faces follow-up stomach surgery this month -- and the bill for the transplant has yet to arrive.
Meanwhile, there's another big event to prepare for: his June 25 wedding day.
Four years ago, he met fiancee Lauren Lacy online. The fourth grade teacher at Glen Lea E.S. has given him new motivation to make the most of this third chance at life.
"[After I met Lauren] I knew I wasn't just here for me any more," says Southward. "Lauren saved me in a way. She's stuck around, and that's something most people wouldn't have done.
"I owe her a lot."
'Your loved one walks with me'
In addition to crediting his fiancee, his parents, and friends when it comes to motivation and inspiration, Southward is keenly aware that he owes his second and third chances at life to the donors who gave their lungs.
Several months after his first transplant, Southward wrote a letter to the family of the anonymous donor and told them he would soon graduate from college.
"Take my graduation," he said, "as a moment both of us, me and my donor, walk across that stage to celebrate life."
Noting that his Hampden-Sydney classmates called him "Iron Lungs," and that he had never been able to walk across campus until his transplant, Southward told the donor family, "Every time I take a breath, your loved one takes a breath. Every time I take a step, your loved one walks with me."
Southward's own parents say that he is an inspiration to them as well.
"He is driven, goal-oriented, funny, loving, and caring," says Franklin. "He touches people's hearts whenever they meet him. Our friends, the doctors, nurses, everyone that he meets, they instantly fall in love with him."
All in all, says Southward, having CF has given him a unique -- and breathtakingly positive -- outlook on life.
"It almost brings out the best in other people, people who hardly know you," he points out, citing nurses, doctors, and fellow CF patients he has met. He is also still close to the teacher -- now a frequent dinner guest -- who visited him during the childhood hospital stays known as "tune-ups."
"I had professors from Hampden-Sydney drive to MCV to give me lessons," he says, adding that the college also made numerous concessions to his illness. "I could park anywhere; I could drive on the sidewalk. They even gave me a golf cart and a scooter."
He laughs as he recalls the one stipulation that the campus police chief put on his use of the golf cart.
"He told me, 'If I see it in Fraternity Circle, it's mine!'"
And, Southward adds, "The president of Hampden-Sydney called me continuously after the [first] transplant to see how I was doing."
"You really learn about the good of people," muses Southward.
"CF gave me a lot more than it took away."

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

Six chocolate makers in Brooklyn, N.Y., are on the cutting edge of the industry, making raw chocolate, fair-traded confections and bean-to-bar chocolate. They include artisan chocolate maker Jacques Torres Chocolate, Mast Brothers Chocolate, Nunu Chocolates, Cacao Prieto, Raaka Chocolate and Fine & Raw Chocolate Factory. "In the culinary world ... everyone wanted to develop a personal connection with their food, like where did that heirloom tomato come from, or how was that cow raised?" said Rick Mast of Mast Brothers Chocolate. "But chocolate seemed to bypass that criterion."

At the beginning of the 21st century most young people are told that social security won't be there for them when they retire from the work force. Thus, in order to be able to completely retire from the workforce, a person has to invest as early as possible in order to take full advantage of the power of compounding.
Let's follow the story of Erica and John. They both grew up on the same street in the same city. Their mothers gave birth to them at almost the same time. Erica and John went to the same high-school, after which their paths separated. They lost contact with each other for the next 40 years, at which point they found each other on Facebook, and met to reminiscence their childhood and talk about grandkids.
They quickly started talking about their retirement and the amount of money they had each had at the time of their retirement.
John, who always saved the extra money he earned from jobs at college and his first job after college, started investing $2000/year in dividend stocks starting at the age of 18 and kept saving and investing the same amount until he was 28. At that point he had so many expenses in order to pay for the needs of his growing family that he couldn't save anymore. Despite the fact that John couldn't contribute any more to fund his retirement, he was very good at picking solid dividend growth stocks, and was able to generate annual returns of 10% for the next four decades.
Erica on the other hand had decided that she didn't want to work in college since she wanted to concentrate on her studies while also enjoying the whole college experience. She then decided to go ahead and get a masters degree after which she was able to get a very good job with one of the largest companies in the USA. She did accumulate a large amount of student debt in the process, which she diligently paid off in a record time after she got her first job. After learning about the importance of saving for your own retirement, she started investing $2000/year in dividend stocks, and was able to also generate 10% in annual returns.
On their 65th birthdays, John's net worth was 1,192,257.81 versus the $728,086.87 worth of quality dividend stocks which Erica owned. Despite the fact that John had invested only $20,000 in total, versus $76,000 that Erica had invested, he was able to achieve a higher amount of wealth because he had taken a full advantage of the power of compounding by investing his hard earned money as early as his freshman year in college. Even though Erica contributed money for over 37 years her nest egg was $400,000 lower than John's, because she had ten years less to utilize the power of compounding. You could also access the spreadsheet from here.
The most important point from this exercise is: start investing for your retirement as early as possible! Ask your kids to invest their first paychecks from high school jobs. And most importantly, let the money compound uninterruptedly for as long as possible. And if you want to take full advantage of compounding, Turbo Charge Your Portfolio With Reinvested Dividends.

The importance of investing for retirement as early as possible

Powerful concept but that story is not realistic. Reason being is that people never want to talk about money. Expecially people who are around the same age and do not have a close relationship :)ReplyDelete
The main point of this article is to show the readers that they should start investing as soon as possible.
However, if the readers think that this is an unrealistic story due to your above stated reasons, then the message won't reach the readers :-(
The message is great, loud and clear. Don't take me wrong, I'm just pointing out what I feel is a problem in society today regarding the way that we are socialized about money.ReplyDelete
I do agree with you on that issue. People talk to their friends about their intimate relationships, yet few of us talk about money.
It is a painful subject though. Let's talk relationships :-)

i agree with Dividend Growth Investor,ReplyDelete
This is for education purpose, if mg wants to find something to pick at, you are missing the point of the lesson. which is to invest early.

Presenting a beautiful petite size Rococo Revival Victorian Pier Mirror with French influence. The mirror is crested with a highly carved cartouche festooned with draping vines and fruit. The frame is embellished with molded reliefs and rests on a plinth base, each side flanked with scrolling. The mirror is of an unusual petite size making it perfect for a small entrance.
It is truly difficult to find these composition and wood mirrors from this era with most of the original molding intact and gilding present, however this frame is in very good age related condition with a few minor discrepancies, and the gilding is still extraordinary. The looking glass has streaking from age and is original to the piece.
We do recommend crating for transport as it is quite heavy and delicate.
