I took my wife there for her 40th birthday and a night away from the kids. we are big fans of small, independent restaurants that are outside the main stream (Outback is fine, but I can eat there anytime). she had the chicken served over a bed of spinach, and other stuff (should have taken notes) and it was excellent. we spend a week in the OBX every summer and have tried nearly every restaurant there. This was better. I can honestly say I will make a 2 hour drive to return. I had the Natural Juicy Burger. (really? nice place like this and you order the burger?) it was outstanding! Besides, it was the 1st item listed on the dinner menu, this is a dinner burger, they expect you to order this burger and they feel like it is good enough to be listed with the other great dishes they offer. This burger is made with locally raised beef and topped with local bacon and cheese. Not just a couple strips of bacon, they take several pieces of thick sliced bacon, chop it up and place a mound of it on the burger and then melt the cheese over it. They serve it up on a fresh semolina bun and BAM! one of the top 5 burgers I've ever had. (I've eaten my share of burgers) The only recommendation I have is give me something other than tortilla chips as a side, but I really didn't need anything to make the burger any better.
choose this place, you'll be very happy you did.

Norman to advise China golf team ahead of Olympics
China is turning to Greg Norman to identify and coach its best players for the Olympics.
The Associated Press
China is turning to Greg Norman to identify and coach its best players for the Olympics.
The China Golf Association on Friday appointed Norman the exclusive advisory coach of its national golf team to get ready for the 2016 Games in Brazil and improve China's global standing in golf beyond the Olympics.
Norman, a two-time British Open champion and former No. 1 player in the world, will development a comprehensive plan of instruction, nutrition, mental training and course management, along with providing his own tournament experience.
He will appoint two assistant coaches to work with the China Golf Association staff. Norman will make regular visits to the national team's training facility in Nanshan leading up to the 2016 Olympics.
Norman also will identify China's best prospects for the Olympics and broaden the junior program to reach every province.
"I've always advocated for the growth and accessibility of the game and look forward to working with the CGS to bring my experience and longtime support of junior golf to China," Norman said. "My role is not only to help prepare the China national team for international competition, but to also teach social skills, etiquette, honesty and self-confidence in giving young Chinese golfers a pathway to their future as adults."
Norman has a wide ranging business operation, Great White Shark Enterprises, which includes golf course design. He has designed three golf courses in China.

Staff Tech, Inc., of Folsom, California, protests the award of a contract to Bearskin Services, of Wyandotta, Oklahoma, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DE-RP65-10WN86895, issued by the Department of Energy (DOE), for information technology and engineering support services for the DOE Western Area Power Administration's Sierra Nevada Region. The protester contends that the DOE improperly evaluated Bearskins' proposal using past performance and experience information for another company. The protester also objects to the agency's determination that the Staff Tech and Bearskin proposals were technically equal, arguing that the agency improperly awarded the contract solely on the basis of price without adequately considering Staff Tech's allegedly technically superior proposal.
We deny the protest.

Noted lyricist Sameer will be honoured with the National Kishore Kumar Award for 2012-13, during a function at the legendary singer's birth place Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh tomorrow.
Born as Abhas Kumar in a wealthy Bengali family, little did anyone know that this young man would someday carve his place in millions of hearts. Yes, we are talking about none other than legendary singer Kishore Kumar.
Internet giant Google on Monday paid a tribute to legendary playback singer and actor Kishore Kumar with a smiling doodle on his 85th birth anniversary.
We bring to you a compilation of songs you would have rarely heard but are hidden gems worth a listen...
Praising Sonu Nigam`s versatility, ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas compared him with a legend like Kishore Kumar.
From Kishore Kumar`s melodious tracks to R.D. Burman`s memorable numbers, a special compilation of 20 popular Bollywood songs titled 9X Jalwa Blockbuster Beats is now available on the Indian iTunes Store.
Ranbir Kapoor, who is set to play legendary singer Kishore Kumar in a biopic directed by Anurag Basu, Tuesday confirmed that the project will be delayed due to script issues.
Kishore Kumar refused to take fees from acclaimed filmmaker Satyajit Ray for singing in his 1964 film "Charulata".
Born as Abhas Kumar Ganguly in a wealthy and highly sophisticated family, little did anyone know that this young man will someday make it big in Hindi Cinema.
Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor feels that a singer must be given due credit as he plays a very important role in an actor`s life.
Filmmaker Anurag Basu says the script of his film on late singer-actor Kishore Kumar is complete and an announcement will be made soon.
Legendary playback singer Kishore Kumar`s son Amit will be crooning the iconic song `Naino Mein Sapna` in the remake version of Jeetendra-Sridevi starrer `Himmatwala`.
Bappi Lahiri has a full-fledged role in the movie "It`s Rocking Dard-E-Disco" and says that he has dedicated it to his late maternal uncle and legendary singer-actor Kishore Kumar.
"Chalte chalte mere ye geet yaad rakhna, kabh alvida na kehna". True to the spirit of the song, fans of the inimitable Kishore Kumar still remembers him and he lives on in their hearts even 25 years after his death. The legend died Oct 13, 1987.
Madhya Pradesh government is keen to convert the `Ganguly House` in Khandwa district, once the home of singer Kishore Kumar, into a museum.
The two-storey `Ganguly House` in Khandwa district has seen better days but the haveli, which was once the home of singer Kishore Kumar, is lying in a dilapidated condition now.
Legendary singer-actor Kishore Kumar has become a source of inspiration for director Anurag Basu, who is making a "colourful and entertaining" biopic on him with Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.
After a five-year hiatus, Amit Kumar, son of legendary singer Kishore Kumar, is back this Durga Puja with a nostalgia-evoking Bengali album titled 'Phele Asha Din' ('The Bygone Days').
Had Kishore Kumar been alive today, he would have felt pity for the current breed of songs, the legend`s son Amit Kumar said
Born as Abhas Kumar Ganguly on the 4th August 1929, the legendary singer who later came to be known as Kishore Kumar mesmerised the audiences by his sheer singing talent for decades.

When searching for the right gift for him, be mindful of the stage of your relationship. Lavish gifts and invites to intimate family gatherings aren't the way to go if you've only been dating for a few weeks. Thoughtfulness is extremely attractive. He'll love that about you. Just remember too much, too fast could scare him a bit and cause him to take a step back.

August 14, 2006
Nowadays more people are living well into their 90s, even to 100 years old. Researchers are studying families to see why that is. They are hoping to discover the secrets to living a long life.
Louise Walton celebrated her 89th birthday on Aug. 15. She comes to the Jefferson Area Board for Aging Monday through Friday to stay active.
"If you just sit around and don't do anything you get old pretty quickly," said Walton.
However, is staying active the key to aging so gracefully? That is what researchers are trying to find out. They are studying senior citizens, preferably siblings who have lived into their 90s and beyond.
"We want to find out what these family members have in common that allow them to get to such old age such as environment, behavior, even genes," said Dr. Thomas Perls, of BU Medical Center.
It is believed genetics play a major role, as well as diet and exercise. The doctor conducting the study also thinks people with little stress in their lives are living longer. However, the CEO of JABA said it is about more than that.
"We want to add quality to our life, not just years to our life so the younger you start ,the better. Learn how to have good social relationships with people; those things will carry themselves into older age," said Gordon Walker.
Louise said she can't make it to 100 without the support of her friends and loved ones. "Well I think that is the key to success, so to speak."
Louise bets happiness will also be a contributing factor in the study.

'I no longer ask for anything except what I can't have.' – Colette, Break of Day
Egyptian Magic
Published: Nov 20, 2014

Muriel Spark: The Driver's Seat
THAT TIME OF YEAR: The annual holiday gift list launches next Wednesday. But starting Monday you're going to see something unheard of in this space. It's called Marketing. This year, I decided not to rely on word of mouth to sell my gently abridged, freshly illustrated edition of A Christmas Carol, so I've made a video — directed by a 16-year old student at a New York arts high school — and launched it on the new Head Butler channel on YouTube. I've also created tasty ads now running on a few sites. The video and ads link to Butler, which means we'll have strangers showing up, blinking and wanting directions. And that guidance — brief and linked to the "Christmas Carol" page — will be right here. Until Christmas. For all I know, it may even encourage a few of you. Because, I've heard, this Marketing thing works.
WEEKEND CLASSIC: No, make that Winter Classic. And as winter seems to be here for most of the United States, it's time for coats and mufflers and hats. And Chapstick and hand cream? Not in Butler's USA. We're professionals. We use the best. And, for a decade now, this is the champ.
There's really nothing "magic" about Egyptian Magic.
The ingredients are olive oil, bees wax, honey, bee pollen, royal jelly and bee propolis. And — so it says — "divine love."
With the exception of the last "ingredient," you could whip it up yourself. But you couldn't improve on the original.
If there's a skin problem this stuff can't deal with, I can't find it. We swab it on the kid's wounds at night; in the morning, she's well on the return trip to flawless.
Burns, scrapes, skin irritations, diaper rash, sunburns, eczema, psoriasis — it's the go-to cream. Dry skin? When an exceptional moisturizer is needed, we open the Magic. Some use it on their hair, as a conditioner. As an anti-wrinkle cream, it's a comparative bargain. After surgery, it's said to reduce scarring.
And, of course, it comes with a story.
In 1986, Westley Howard, a water filter salesman, was enjoying a meal at a Chicago diner. An elderly gent came over. "Brother, the spirit has moved me to reveal something to you," he said.
The stranger called himself Dr. Imas. He did not offer a first name or announce what kind of doctor he was. He did have a need to reveal the formula for a skin cream. But it was the same cream found in ancient Egyptian tombs.
Westley Howard became LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa — and the cream became Egyptian Magic. [To buy Egyptian Magic from Amazon, click here.]
In the early '90s, LordPharaoh ImHotepAmonRa started trading the cream for food at an organic market in Washington, DC. Some jars got to Hollywood, with predictable results — Madonna is said to be among its devotees.
Now it's everywhere. For a simple reason: Egyptian Magic works.
A Christmas Carol (because…Christmas)
We're doing something new with the abridged version of "A Christmas Carol." It's called…Marketing. For Head Butler, that means putting a toe into the video universe. Read about the book and Kindle here, and gawk at this baby step….
Brandy Clark: 'You were lyin' there with nothing on/ But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde'
You were lyin' there with nothing on
But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde
I can't believe you'd do that on our bed
I got a pistol and I got a bullet
And a pissed off finger just'a itchin' to pull it
The only thing keepin' me from losin' my head is…
I hate stripes and orange ain't my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight
I'll be wearin' one or the other
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes

"Happy Hour" — a film you invested in — comes to New York
"Happy Hour" — written, produced and directed by Guest Butler Gretl Claggett, narrated by Julianne Moore and funded in part by Head Butler readers through Kickstarter — is an official selection at the New York No Limits Film Summit on 11/20 and the Williamsburg Independent Film Festival on 11/21. Awards are likely to follow — "Happy Hour" won the "Award for Excellence in Cinematography: Short Form" at the International Festival of Cinematic Arts in LA and has been an official selection at a number of festivals around the country, garnering nominations for three Maverick Movie Awards.
Reader Mail (Advertisements for myself)
From Paul Zengilowski
My children will turn 19 and 21 in a few weeks and the birthday gift choice falls to me. My wife and I bought them books by the bushel when they were young — some they chose, more often though, we exercised our parental prerogative. That stopped as they entered their mid-teens and felt more confident in their choices than in ours.
I've not bought them books in years — with two exceptions. The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need, by Andrew Tobias, was a high school graduation gift. Knowing that having the money talk with them would be fruitless, I passed on to them my financial bible. I'd read it when it was first issued and it has served to keep me mostly on the financial straight and narrow over the last 30 years.
The second exception is their birthday present for this year: The 100 Essentials. Should they read only those two books, I'm confident they'll enter adulthood with important and foundational knowledge that will serve them well.
from Marcie
You recommended Queen's Gambit to me when I asked for the most grabable book you could think of. I loved it. It's difficult to articulate precisely what the dark magic of that book is, but I found it fascinating — the characters, all of them, were like no others I've encountered. The relationship between Beth and her adopted mother was so subtle. I love that Tevis never capitulates to cliché or sentimentality. Elegant. Thank you for urging me to read it.

|Bruins need to do the dirty work to score in these playoffs
|04.12.12 at 12:23 pm ET
As much as Tim Thomas was amazing under pressure, justifiably winning the Conn Smythe trophy as the MVP of the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Bruins offense was as explosive as any team in the playoffs last season.
The Bruins scored 81 goals in 25 playoff games, including games of eight, seven and six tallies as they scored when they needed to when Thomas wasn't – well – Thomas. By comparison, the high-flying Canucks in their 25 playoff games scored just 58.
David Krejci scored 12 goals. Brad Marchand set a Bruins rookie playoff record with 11. Nathan Horton and Michael Ryder had eight apiece. Chris Kelly, Milan Lucic and Mark Recchi each had five. Count them up and that's 21 of the 81 goals the Bruins scored that are missing to start these playoffs.
"I think it's just playing the system properly," Kelly said. "The minute you start thinking about scoring goals and lots of goals, that doesn't happen. We capitalized on our opportunities last year, and hopefully we do the same this year. But by no means are we heading into these playoffs we're going to be a big-scoring team. We take care of our own end first and work our way out."
Funny thing, it didn't start that well for the Bruins as they scored just once in losing their first two games at home to Montreal. Read the rest of this entry »
|Why the Bruins still fear Dennis Wideman
|04.12.12 at 12:15 pm ET
Every Bruins fan remembers how ugly it ended for Dennis Wideman in Boston. Certainly, the talented defenseman does.
He was one of the scapegoats of the collapse against the Flyers in 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals.
He was the player fans came to the Garden to boo, expecting turnover after turnover, leading to scoring chance after scoring chance for the opposition. It wasn't all bad as Wideman had back-to-back 13-goal seasons for the Bruins in 2008 and '09, registering an impressive plus-32 on-ice rating in '09. But the wheels fell off the next season. He had only six goals in 76 games and a minus-14. Things got even worse after a trade to Florida. He was minus-26 with nine goals in 61 games.
But look further and you see that Wideman can still do one thing – score on the power play. Eight of his nine goals with the Panthers came on the power play. In his two biggest productive years in Boston, he was instrumental on the power play with Zdeno Chara, scoring 15 goals.
But he's been rejuvenated in Washington. He played in all 82 games this season for the Caps, with 11 goals and 35 assists and is on the No. 1 power play unit with Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Mike Green. This year, he scored four of Washington's 41 goals on the power play, accounting for 10 percent of the production.
So now, the offensive defenseman is in a fascinating position for revenge on all those who unleashed their venom on him. Wideman returns as one of the key cogs of the Capitals' power play as Washington takes on Boston in the 2012 Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
"You would hope that when the player was here, we worked on making him a better player," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "He is a good player. I think he's been a good player for years now. I know he had a tough outing here near the end but we still felt that when Dennis still here, we felt he was our best puck-moving defenseman at the time."
As for his nightmarish 2010 end in Boston?
"He had a bit of tough year and all of sudden fans turned on him a little bit and it got a little bit out of control but he's still a good player," Julien said. "You just have to look at his stats this year and look what he does on their power play. He's a still puck-mover, still a great offensive defenseman that has a lot of qualities to his game."
Washington comes in after finishing 18th out of 30 teams on the power play this season, converting at a 16.7 percent clip.
"There's got to be an element of respect there when you look at the players that they have on their power play. Now, Backstrom being back, who's actually a pretty good playmaker, will certainly help their power play get better," Julien said. "But they have the shooters, you know, Green and Wideman can shoot the puck well. Ovechkin as we know, Semin ' they've got a lot of guys that can shoot the puck on that power play. We just need to respect that and continue to take our penalty kill as serious as we have in the past playoffs and continue to do a good job."
|David Krejci: Nathan Horton concussion news 'kind of sucks'
|04.11.12 at 1:24 pm ET
WILMINGTON — No one on the Bruins feels worse than David Krejci about Wednesday's news that Nathan Horton will be out for the entire playoffs with the lingering effects of his second concussion in 12 months.
It was Krejci who was just beginning to get into a groove on the second line with Horton again when he had a setback in February, a setback that ended Wednesday with the news that Horton needed more time to fully heal.
"I was hoping he was going to be back for first or second round, but now we know he won't," Krejci said. "It kind of sucks but that's how it goes sometimes. This is still his life and he's got to take care of his own body. He shouldn't be pushing it. If he doesn't feel well, there's nothing he can do."
Krejci not only played on the same line with Horton, he can relate fully with what Horton is going through.
"I had a concussion two times so I know how it is," Krejci said. "This is not an easy situation. Hopefully, he's going to do well over the next couple months and he's going to be ready for next season."
Now, with Rich Peverley replacing Horton on the second line, Krejci and Milan Lucic have had to adjust. It's an adjustment the Bruins made masterfully last year in the Stanley Cup finals as Peverley added a speed element that wasn't there with Horton.
"One thing is you can't replace Horty," Krejci said. He's just a great player and I love playing with him but the other side is we played without him for [36] games so we know how to win games without him. We still have a good team. We have lots of depth. Hopefully we can do it.
"I think we started putting the puck in the net more often, especially the last few games of the season. So, I feel pretty good. This is kind of new season. Everybody starts from the beginning. We're just going to have to go out there and do it again."
Brad Marchand is one of those players who picked up the scoring slack for Horton in the finals, scoring twice in Game 7 in Vancouver.
"We're going to try," Marchand said. "We want to play for him like we did last year in the finals. It's obviously tough with him not being here so we want to definitely want to use that to an advantage and play for him.
"It's big for him and the team. We're not going to always be wondering and hoping if he's going to come back and save us. The fact that we know now that we have to do it within the room and we can't rely on him to come back and help us out. Different guys are going to have to realize they're going to have to step up. For him, it relieves the pressure that he has to rush back and continue to progress every single day to try and rush back to playoffs. Now, he can take his time and worry about getting better mentally and hopefully come back for next year."
|Milan Lucic is fully prepared for Dale Hunter and his 'underachieving' Capitals
|04.11.12 at 9:22 am ET
WILMINGTON — Milan Lucic was just four years of age in 1993 when Dale Hunter delivered one of the most notorious hits in Stanley Cup playoff history.
It was on April 28 that year when Hunter laid out Pierre Turgeon, after Turgeon had just scored the clinching goal for the Islanders late in the third period of the decisive Game 6 of their opening playoff round against Hunter's Capitals.
Hunter was understandably ticked. But he inexplicably checked Turgeon from behind and into the side boards, separating his shoulder and knocking him out of the next round against the defending champion Penguins.
Hunter received a then-record 21 game suspension for the hit. Turgeon returned for the semi-finals against the eventual champion Canadiens after missing seven games.
Fast forward 19 years and Hunter is now coaching the Capitals in the first-round series against the defending champion Bruins. The Capitals – who finished with the best record in the NHL two seasons ago – were 42-32-8 but had to struggle to get into the playoffs this season in the final week, finishing as the No. 7 seed. That's quite a change for a team that fired Bruce Boudreau early on this year because they were 12-9-1 and underachieving with names like Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin.
"You can say the Capitals have probably underachieved a bit this year," Lucic said of the Capitals, who actually won the season series against the Bruins this year, 3-1. "They have a lot of great players over there that can definitely do some damage. They've had some success against us this year. Season success and playoff success are two different things, which we've found out in the past. We know that they're a great team and have a lot of great weapons and a lot of great players who can step up and be an impact in this series and I think that's what's going to make this a real challenging and hard-fought series for us."
Hunter instilled a new dedication to physical play and no doubt realizes his finesse-laiden Capitals need to channel at least some of his toughness against the new Big Bad Bruins in order to have a chance.
"Especially playing under Dale Hunter, I'm sure they're going to be real physical," Lucic said. "They have some forwards that definitely will get in there and get dirty. Even a guy like Ovechkin is not afraid of the physical play and likes to use his body. It's a way that they have success. For us, we have to do whatever we can to be physical and I think that's what's going to make it even a better series because both teams are going to go after each other.
"Part of our identity and part of our success is being physical, regardless of who we play so we have a game plan and we have a type of way we're going to play and playing physical is one of the ways. We're going to do everything we can to establish a forecheck and finish our checks and it's important for us to do that."
Lucic insisted the Bruins aren't about to take the Capitals lightly and certainly place no significance on their No. 7 position in the conference.
"I think you definitely learn a lot," Lucic said. "You can take from what you've done in the past and kind of use that experience, hopefully to your advantage. One thing that we did [this season] was that we never took anyone or any opponent for granted. Just because we're second and they're seventh doesn't mean a thing right now. What happened last year is last year. This is a new year, new playoff. Everyone starts off at 0-0. It's important for us to have a good start, come out strong and hopefully have a good game in Game 1."
|Tim Thomas: 'We just need everybody to be as good as they can be'
|04.10.12 at 6:17 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Tim Thomas won the Conn Smythe Award for the most outstanding player of the Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup title run. He was the man between the pipes as Boston became the first team ever to win three Game 7s en route to a Stanley Cup championship.
The man knows the pressure that comes with playoff hockey.
So, what's the key to handling it?
For the answer, Thomas looked back to the 25th and final game of the team's memorable run last spring in Vancouver.
"Before Game 7, when we were talking in the locker room, one of things we were saying as a team was, everybody was tired by that point," Thomas recalled Tuesday, two days before he opens defense in Game 1 against the Capitals. "It's a long playoffs. Everyone's got bumps and bruises and more than bumps and bruises, and they're tired.
"Instead of putting pressure on ourselves to come out and think we needed in Game 7 the best game of our lives, as a group we made a decision that we don't need everybody to be better than they've ever been in lives before. We just need everybody to be as good as they can be and that will be enough to make us come out on top. So, that's probably the same type of attitude we need to take this year."
He thinks this team is talented enough to make a legitimate run at it again."
As for handling Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom, Thomas isn't so worried about the Capitals coming in as underdogs as a No. 7 seed in the East. Read the rest of this entry »
|Claude Julien on Tyler Seguin: 'He knows everybody on his team has his back'
|04.10.12 at 2:01 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Moments after captain Zdeno Chara was pointing with his stick and barking at Tyler Seguin Tuesday morning on a power play drill, coach Claude Julien and assistant coach Doug Jarvis came over and had a heart-to-heart with the Bruins' leading goal scorer this season.
They were simply reminding him to play hard on the power play and play with a "heavy stick" – Julien's way of saying scoring on the power play and scoring in general, requires more will power in the playoffs than in the regular season.
"Playoffs, a lot of times, it's all about little details and that's why we're going over video," Seguin said Tuesday. "Even on the ice, obviously, coaches see stuff that they want you to improve on or little details they want you to fix and sometimes, as a player, you see something different. You just compare notes without crossing the line and just get prepared."
Julien knows that Seguin – with his 29 goals – will be a marked man by Dale Hunter's Washington Capitals much more than he was at the start of the Stanley Cup championship run 12 months ago. Julien and Chara just want Seguin to be ready for that hunt beginning Thursday night in Game 1 at the Garden.
"I think he knows everybody on his team has his back, and all he has to do is go out there and compete and be ready to face that kind of challenge," Julien said. "If we want him to be a better player, he has to be able to face those kind of challenges and face them with a positive result. He has to be able to work his way through and we expect him to be able to do that."
For his part, Seguin downplayed being a focal point of Washington's defensive game plan.
"I don't really know about that. If you look at our team, there wasn't exactly much gap between [players]," Seguin said. "We're pretty close. We had [six] 20-goal scorers. That's what makes our team pretty dangerous."
"I don't think he's been bad at that this year whenever things were a little tough," Julien added. "We've always kept a close eye on him. He's a young prospect that we want to make sure that he continues to go in the right direction so we've taken time to bring him in and talk to him. Players have done the same thing. When it comes to a situation where you haven't scored in a while or you're a little frustrated, you go back to basics, and you stop looking at the big picture and just take a step back and keep your game maybe a little simpler but more efficient, and eventually, things come back.
"We've done a good job with him as far as the whole coaching staff, the players, to help him through those things. And he likes his teammates, he likes our coaching staff, he has a lot of trust in all of us where he's not afraid to come up and say, 'Listen, this is what's happening here.' Or whenever we suggest something, it's nice to see a guy with that much talent and skill be so open to suggestions and help, as well."
|Claude Julien sounds quietly confident as his Bruins begin their quest for a repeat
|04.08.12 at 9:24 am ET
Claude Julien didn't hide the fact that after Saturday's press conference following a 4-3 shootout win over the Sabres in the regular season finale that he was headed to watch more hockey. He knew the Bruins were either going to be playing the Senators or the Capitals starting Thursday at TD Garden.
But first, he did allow time to look back on what was the toughest – albeit rewarding – grind of his coaching career, including falling very temporarily to the No. 7 seed in the East before rebounding to win four of their last five and salt away the division and the No. 2 spot.
"I don't think we liked seeing ourselves in the seventh spot, but the one thing that really helped us through it is, I think we started sensing the playoffs were getting close, and we knew that we had to play better to be a good playoff team," Julien said. "As I said numerous times, I think it was more of a mental struggle this year than anything else. Our guys are in — these guys are well-conditioned athletes, so physically, it's never an issue, but the mental part. If your mind tells you you're tired, you're going to look tired. If your mind tells you you're not, you're going to perform with better energy, and I think right now it's a big mental obstacle that we had to overcome this year because our guys, at one point, we looked tired because, in our minds, we felt tired, and I think once the excitement of the playoffs started getting closer, we started seeing the playoffs around the corner, all of a sudden, we started getting excited again.
"And you say, 'Oh, look, they don't look like they're tired. They look like they've got a lot of energy.' Well, I gave them days off, but those days off alone wouldn't have been enough, so I think the part right now is our psyche, and if we're excited to go into the playoffs, then we're going to be just as good as any other team."
Julien said he and his staff would pretty much begin their preparations immediately for their first-round opponent (the Washington Capitals) was determined.
"I'll do it [Sunday]," Julien said after the win over the Sabres. "I mean, we're off [Sunday] — that's the players, not the coaching staff. The minute we find out our opponents, we start doing the video work and cutting, which we've already done some of it, but depending on some changes along the way. Obviously there's two teams. It's either Ottawa or Wash [Washington], so we've got a lot of that work done, and when it's solidified, then we're going to start, we're going to finish it up, and by Monday, we should be on top of things."
Asked about his team's chances of repeating now that they're back to the playoffs, Julien said his team is looking ahead to the first round, no further.
"That's still a long ways away," he said. "It's one of those things where, they finished the season. Our number one goal is the same it's been every year, and that's to make the playoffs. And, I always keep saying the same thing over and over, that making the playoffs is a tough thing to do on a consistent basis. We've seen teams that have won the Cup and failed to make the playoffs the next year, we've seen teams win the Cup and just barely make it in.
"For us to win our division and get another season of over 100 points, I think it's a credit to those guys in there because it was a tough grind. We had ups and downs, but now we start that new season that everybody gets excited about, and we've got as good a chance as anybody else to win, and even though it's hard to, as they say, repeat nowadays, and it hasn't been done in a long time, we're certainly going to challenge that."

The plot of the movie revolves around Vinayagam (played by Ajith) and his courage and lionhearted stance when faced with adversity.The title Veeram is justified well, by Vinayagams character.
Director Siva and team, have ensured that the movie is not just a showcase of Ajiths action and heroism but also a good cocktail with healthy comedy and sentiment in good measure.
The story of the movie, by Siva and Boopathy Raja, with the above mentioned elements are something that you have seen in numerous movies in the past but director Sivas packaging makes sure that the movie is enjoyable for Ajith fans and importantly the general family audiences as well.
The dialogues penned by Bharathan carry enough punch to make the fights and exchanges memorable and also lend good emotion to the sentimental scenes.
There are plenty of scenes which stand out, be it Ajiths daredevilry in the train stunt sequence just before the interval or the fight sequence involving a little child or the auction scene (which totally plays to the gallery) or Ajiths little bullock-cart ride or the sequence where the brothers show their mettle to Pradeep Rawat. Such scenes will indeed stay in mind....

Recent Hearst Delegation
Algoma Country (The Algoma Kinnawabi Travel Association for the Algoma District), under the direction of Carol Caputo, hosted a delegation from Hearst last week. The delegation included Mayor Roger Sigouin and Hearst EDC Director Sylvie Fontaine and others from their municipal council, EDC and the Université de Hearst. The delegation travelled to the Sault by train from Hearst and had meetings with Algoma Country, CAPT, the ACR Stakeholders Working Group, the NOHFC, Tourism Sault Ste. Marie, Mill Square development and an update on Tourism Northern Ontario. CAPT met with the delegation about plans to organize groups of children and adults to take the train to Hearst to participate in various French immersion experiences in that francophone community. Here is a link to a story about their visit in the Sootoday: Guess Who Needed Saving from Last Night's Stranded Train? http://www.sootoday.com/content/news/details.asp?c=80026 . By the way, CN repaired the washout very quickly so the delegation was able to return by train on Thursday as planned. A big thank you to Algoma Country and the Hearst delegation for organizing this very successful visit.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
"Conspiracy Theory'' cries out to be a small film--a quixotic little indie production where the daffy dialogue and weird characters could weave their coils of paranoia into great offbeat humor. Unfortunately, the parts of the movie that are truly good are buried beneath the deadening layers of thriller cliches and an unconvincing love story.
I can almost guess how this happened. The original screenplay by Brian Helgeland must have been strange and wonderful. It told the story of a New York cabby who combines everything he hears into one grand unified conspiracy theory. Most of the time he's wacko. Sometimes, like a stopped clock, he's on the money. ("I was right!'' he says at one point. "But what was I right about?'') This screenplay no doubt attracted widespread attention in Hollywood because of its originality and brilliance. Then it was packaged with major stars (Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts) and an A-list director (Richard Donner of "Lethal Weapon"). The movie could essentially have been filmed for a few million dollars, but not with talent like that, so it turned into a megaproduction, and was lost.
Almost immediately (I'm still weaving my fantasy here) some industry genius decreed that Gibson and Roberts had to fall in love in the movie, "because the audience will want to see that.'' Oh yeah? Not if it involves such torturous contrivances that whole shards of the plot are torn off and sent flying like rubber off of truck tires. The same genius, or his clone, then decreed that since there was the money for bloated action sequences, of course there had to be some.
Very few action sequences work. Most of them bring movies to a lurching halt. "Conspiracy Theory'' is never more interesting that when Gibson is spinning his bizarre theories, and never more boring then when secret agents are rappelling down ropes from helicopters hovering over New York streets. There have been so many action sequences in so many movies that we have lost the capacity for surprise; unless they work as part of the plot, our eyes glaze over, because we know the actors have gone out for lunch and we are looking at stunt men supervised by the second unit.
Anyway. The Gibson character in "Conspiracy Theory'' is a wonderful creation, a guy named Jerry Fletcher who has listened to way too much talk radio. Secrets spin from his fertile imagination and into the incredulous ears of his passengers: The right-wing militias, which say they'll defend us from a UN invasion, are UN troops. Vietnam was fought over a bet between Howard Hughes and Aristotle Onassis. They rounded up the fathers of all the Nobel Prize winners to extract and freeze their sperm. Oliver Stone is a disinformation specialist who works to discredit conspiracy theories. NASA plans to assassinate the president with an earthquake triggered by the space shuttle. And there is a reason all the goofballs seem to read Catcher in the Rye.
This is great stuff, and Gibson, a gifted comic actor, delivers it with a kind of intense insane conviction. (He would have been fine in the little indie production, except that the mere presence of a big star in a perfect screenplay tends to alter it, in a Hollywood version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.) Turns out he has an obsession: a Justice Department agent (Julia Roberts) whom he fell in love with, after saving her from a mugging. He tries to tell her all of his conspiracy theories, and she tries to humor him, until one day it appears he may actually be onto something.
More of the plot I will not reveal. Much of it involves Patrick Stewart as a government psychiatrist who spends much of the movie with an injured nose, although not to the effect of Jack Nicholson in "Chinatown." What's good about the movie are the gritty scenes of the taxi driver's life (including a little homage to "Taxi Driver" in the form of street drummers in Times Square). If the movie had stayed at ground level--had been a real story about real people--it might have been a lot better, and funnier. All of the energy is in the basic material, and none of it is in a romance that is grafted on like an unneeded limb or superfluous organ.
I have no inside knowledge of the production details. Not a smidgen. I'm going entirely on instinct. But all my instincts tell me that major changes were made to the original material in order to suit "audience expectations'' about the stars. If you want to experience the anguish of rewrites dictated by kneejerk bureaucrats, attentively watch the scenes where the movie tries to explain why this woman and this man could arrive at this relationship. It is always painful to see a movie in flight from its strengths.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The marketplace for the Affordable Care Act opens on Tuesday. But more than half of Americans say they're not sure what's going to happen.
Con artists are turning confusion into an opportunity to rip you off.
"The scammers are gonna go all after that because they know that there are some people who don't know what Obamacare is, or what they should do," said Beth Schell, a Fraud Specialist with the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
So far, the Federal Trade Commission has received more than a thousand complaints about scammers using the ACA as a way to con people out of their money.
Sometimes, the person on the other end of the phone says you'll go to jail if you don't sign up for Obamacare.
Here are some of the top scams, according to the FTC.
Let's say you receive a phone call and someone offers to help navigate the changes of the Affordable Care Act. Sounds reasonable right? It is, right up until they try to charge you. The federal government gave out $67 million in grants to non-profits to help navigate the changes of the ACA. They're not allowed to charge money for their services.
"If they're telling you you need to pay a fee for their services then you need to hang up," Schell said.
Another common scam involves the fictitious Obamacare card. Someone will call you and say you'll need to buy a new card. That's a scam. There is no such card.
And finally, when someone from the government calls you and starts asking for you social security number and other personal information, that's your sign that they're trying to rip you off.
The FTC says the government will not call you about your health insurance and they won't ask you for your personal information over the phone.
"It really isn't any different from any other scam, it's just a different way to try to get your personal information," Schell said.
If you receive a call from a scammer, hang up and then report them. Call the FTC, the Florida Attorney General's Office or the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

CBI arrests head constable of RPF, Inspector and other official of ESIC in separate bribery cases
New Delhi, February 21, 2012
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today said it had arrested a head constable of Railway Protection Force (RPF), Southern Railway, Chennai for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs.20,000 from the proprietor of a local firm of cargo movers.
According to a press release from the CBI, a complaint was received from the businessman that the head constable, attached to the Central Railway Station, Chennai demanded a bribe of Rs. 20,000 from him for smooth dispatching of parcels to various places through wagons. He also threatened the complainant that if the bribe amount was not handed over to him, he would detain the parcels the next day onwards on security and safety grounds.
The release said that, based on the complaint, a case was registered against the accused under section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act 1988. A trap was laid and the head constable was allegedly caught red handed while demanding and accepting the bribe Rs. 20,000 from the complainant.
The accused was produced before the Special Judge for CBI Cases, Chennai and was remanded to judicial custody, it said.
In another case, the CBI has arrested an Inspector and lower division clerk (LDC), both of Employee's State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), Marol, Andheri (East), Mumbai for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs.5,000 from the complainant for registration of company employees insurance.
A trap was laid by the CBI at the office premises of the complainant where the duo had come to collect the bribe. Both were allegedly caught red-handed while demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs.5,000 from the complainant, the release added.
