A little (very) late, but better late than never, right? Here are my impressions of a short visit to Maastricht this summer.

LOCATION | paper & tea store | berlin charlottenburg
My great passion for tea could get quite expensive quite quickly – something that I realized (also rather quickly) upon entering Paper & Tea in Berlin for the first time.
The store is all that I could wish for: fantastic quality tea, a serene and welcoming atmosphere, amazing interior architecture and displays full of tea and tea ware, complete gongfu style.
I dislike coffe, which is why I have loved drinking tea my entire life.
It wasn't until about half a year ago that I started to really get into tea though, and I ain't talking about the different brands and teabag types you get at any random supermarket. No, I am amazed by the traditional brewing and drinking methods – from the Chinese to the Japanese and the Korean, which are all quite different I might add and differ according to tea type.
The starting point for my fascination was during a phase of me being quite stressed and fundamentally exhausted, both physically as well as mentally. As I already admired good tea, mostly loose leaf green and white, it somehow came naturally that I started to read a lot about the different preparation methods, the different styles of tea and the very many nuances (sometimes extremely obvious, other times very subtle) of all the different kinds of tea, which amazingly all originate from the same plant.
Preparing tea and taking my time to do so is now helping me to find some quiet time and it does bring me lots of happiness and calm, however basic this might sound. I am so interested in everything that is tea. Which is why I stopped by this lovely store while in Berlin for my master thesis project.
Paper & Tea offers very nice, well – tea, and a small selection of paper. Their tea caddies are actually encased with their signature paper, which is of very high quality and has a special, thick texture and gives the tea caddies a wonderful elegant, simple yet profound appearance.
I have tried quite a lot of their tea by now and am continuously amazed by it. Although most of their teas do not come cheap, they offer small sized bags of it which, depending on the type, is definitely fair. Another thing to add concerning the price tags of some of the teas, keep in mind that good quality tea can and definitely should be brewed several times (not just once), which is what the traditional tea ceremonies are all about. Each cup tells a different story. And so does each kind of tea.
I would probably stop by daily if I could, but the distance makes it difficult. They have a great online presence thought.
I have tried and can recommend: their green tea Anji Bai Cha, which is extremely great for calming the mind and de-stressing (which is just my cup of tea – excuse the lame pun); the Chang-E Oolong tea from the Fujian Area in China; the Shangri-La white tea from Ilam, Nepal; and the Karigane green tea, which was a completely new type of green tea for me, but one that I now treasure deeply.
I currently only have a small gaiwan to experiment and prepare my different teas with (they are actually great for beginners such as myself, as most teas can be prepared gongfu style (traditional tea ceremony) with a gaiwan and it brings out the different aromas and tastes perfectly.)
Do you have a thing for tea? I would love to hear about some other tea stories and which ones you prefer. And maybe any other great and worthy tea stores? Do let me know!
– PAPER AND TEA in Berlin | www.paperandtea.com | Bleibtreustraße 4, Berlin Charlottenburg | amazing interior and design, tea and tea ware is exquisite and beautifully presented | white, yellow, green, oolong, black and one puerh tea and a good variety of traditional gongfu style brewing and drinking ceremony devices

Public Relations & Event Management
"Employment of public-relations specialists is expected to increase by more than 66,000 jobs, or 24 percent, between 2008 and 2018," according to U.S. News & World Report, and CNN Money ranks PR as one of the best jobs in America.*
It's no wonder that so many students want to study Public Relations and Event Management (PREM). PREM provides hands-on experience preparing graduates to play essential organizational roles. Meeting standards of the International Consortium for Public Relations Education, PREM includes a minor in technical writing, a cognate in marketing, and allows use of additional minors and electives to customize the major toward specialized areas of public relations and event management practice, such as:
Program Requirements
PREM students gain real-world experience participating in public relations and event management activities for profit and non-profit organizations throughout Central Texas.
Designed to meet the criteria of the International Consortium for Public Relations Education, the PREM degree plan mirrors expectations for professionals in the field. The curriculum is reviewed and revised regularly to assure up-to-date requirements.
PREM class projects are typical of professional PR practice, resulting in unusually high levels of student dedication, critical thinking, problem solving, and professionalism. Student projects generate positive public relationships and media coverage for class clients, the Public Relations & Event Management program, the Department of Communication Studies, and TSU.
Applied-learning experience is a major underpinning of the Public Relations & Event Management program, so PREM students learn social responsibility in action—a principle foundation of PR theory and practice. Service learning and applied learning put classroom knowledge, skills, and values into action.
Class teams work with businesses and nonprofit clients on fundraising, promotions, volunteerism, reputation management, and special events. Through these projects, class clients receive public relations and events help and students gain pre-professional experience.

In her latest New York Times piece titled "When a Teenager's Coping Mechanism Is Spongebob," Lisa Damour Ph.D., delves into some of the typical coping strategies adolescents turn to when faced with stress. She states that "being a teenager isn't easy. Thanks to puberty, neurological and hormonal developments introduce teenagers to an era of emotional fragility so it's no surprise that adolescents find handy, if sometimes quirky, ways to reset when they are feeling overwhelmed."
Laurel Ninth Grader Samantha Eisner was included in the story, explaining that childhood pleasures offer comfort because "they take you back to the days when the biggest problem you had was choosing what crayon to color your dress in your third grade self-portrait."
You can read the full New York Times article here. A second story on the same topic also recently aired on CBS This Morning. Click here to take a look.
Dr. Tori Cordiano, a clinical psychologist and the Assistant Director of Laurel's Center for Research on Girls (LCRG), recently contributed to the article "Single Parenting: Communication is Key" in the January/February issue of Your Teen Magazine. In the article she states that "clear, fair communication between single parents and their teens helps to pave the way to a trusting relationship that withstands the ups and downs of adolescence."

Competing against schools with teams of 20-35 students each, Laurel's five Middle School delegates to the Cleveland Council on World Affairs' Junior Model United Nations Conference at John Carroll University produced three winners!
Representing France in the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Sarah Goraya '21 and Ria Raj '21 won the Superior Delegation Award, which is the highest group award possible for each committee.
Representing the Netherlands in the Human Rights Commission, Izzy Atzemis '21. brought home the Gavel Award, which is the highest individual award possible for each committee.
In order to achieve these impressive results the students put themselves in the shoes of foreign diplomats and are then able to tackle and find solutions to the most pressing international issues. Through their commitment to the program the participants become empowered to investigate the world, recognize different perspectives, communicate ideas to diverse audiences, and apply what they learn creatively during research, debate, and conference time.
Congratulations to the three award-winners plus Carrie Bifulco '21 and Laine Roberts '21, who also represented Laurel well.

When Laurel School announced its new Director of Advancement in October, they were pleased to call Benjamin Light one of their own – not an alumna of course, but a parent and a big fan of the school and all things Cleveland.
Benjamin Light comes to Laurel from The Gathering Place, where he was involved in all aspects of the agency's fundraising and special events. He most recently held the position of COO, where he was responsible for all finance and administration of this $2.3 million agency.
Benjamin's extensive fundraising skills coupled with his strategic thinking and years of experience and knowledge of the corporate and philanthropic landscape in Cleveland make him a strong fit for this role. As a Laurel School parent, he also has a unique perspective on the school's mission and goals.
"This offers new challenges, in a new environment and I wanted to bring my professional energy to another organization."
Click here for a link to the full article in the December 2016 issue of Currents Magazine. The announcement of Benjamin Light's new appointment was also covered in Crain's Cleveland Business, the Cleveland Jewish News and the Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Library – now sometimes referred to as the Learning Common, yet the basics are still in place. Just as business and research collaboration are different today, learning is different, fueled by our access to sources from all over the globe made instantly available. As the worlds of business, science, economics, medicine, and law have changed, so has obtaining and researching information.
Currents talked with professionals at four local private schools to take a look at how and why school libraries have reinvented themselves while still maintaining tradition. Laurel's own Kirsten Rosebrock-Hayes, Middle and Upper Schools Librarian, offered up her insights on how technology has transformed her role at our school. Excerpts from her interview follow.
"In the role of the librarian I'm a reader's advisor, Internet Sherpa (I made that up), collection caretaker – I make sure we have reliable and correct information. I wear so many hats," says Kirsten Rosebrock-Hayes of Laurel School.
In many ways, a librarian's work as guide and teacher hasn't changed. In fact, in some ways their work is more pressing and more vital than ever. When faced with the dizzying array of information available, it's the librarian's role to teach students to have a discerning eye.
"A big part of my job is to help students discern what information is worthwhile and trustworthy online," Rosebrock-Hayes says. "Anyone can post anything online, but do you necessarily want to use just anything in your research project?"

Tom Brady was one of a number of New England Patriots to attend a Monday afternoon Aerosmith concert at the Boston apartment where the band got its start. While there,he took a picture with teammate Jerod Mayo and members of the Kraft family.
We couldn't find out what Brady did immediately after this photo was snapped, so we came up with a few guesses.
1. Nodded to a guy holding a boombox, whipped off his ponytail and started dancing on the nearest desk to Van Halen's Hot for Teacher.
2. Took part in a stage production of The Talented Mr. Ripley.
3. Got his green hat and went streaking on the quad.
4. Took the train to New York to host The Rachel Maddow Show.
5. Tripped over the belt of his trenchcoat.
6. Wondered aloud why the goat was running late.
7. Creeped out some people on the T.
Brady is wearing a shirt, by the way. It just happens to be a skin-colored V-neck on a very sunny Boston day.

Grupo BBVA
Banking on iPhone and iPad.
Currently one of the world's largest financial institutions, Grupo BBVA was formed in 1999 by merging two major banks into a single, efficient organization with operations throughout the Spanish-speaking world. iPad and iPhone help this Madrid-based megabank accelerate essential workflows, improve internal communications, and provide the best possible services to its 49.8 million customers worldwide.
"We are seeing that productivity increases just by the fact that an employee has an iPhone or iPad. These devices are changing the way people work." says Luis Uguina, who oversees BBVA's remote channels and new digital business.
iPad and iPhone enable BBVA's management staff to make business decisions and solve problems faster and more efficiently. Even when a manager is traveling or in a meeting, he or she can quickly authorize expenses or respond to urgent requests. "With these devices, processes that once took weeks now take hours," Uguina says. "People can do work on the go that previously could be done only on a PC."
And as Grupo BBVA moves toward increasingly collaborative, cloud-based workflows, iPhone and iPad make even more sense as a way to effortlessly connect with corporate data and colleagues.
"I simply open my iPad and I am connected with my entire team," says Beatriz Lara, BBVA's Director of Innovation. "We have all the functionality of the group on something almost like a sheet of paper."
Better Banking Anywhere
But iPhone and iPad aren't only for internal use. These devices also give BBVA an ideal platform to deliver the information and immediacy that customers expect in the current financial climate.
"In the financial crisis the world has gone through, even though we've come out very strong, things have changed," says Gregorio Panadero, Director of Communications and Brand at BBVA. "We have to be a lot closer to our customers. Investing in technology reduces our operation costs and provides a better service at a lower price."
Lara agrees: "In the last few years, technology has revolutionized banking. We have to develop new business approaches and new skills in the digital world to truly become a global bank."
To forge new connections with customers, BBVA has developed several iPhone apps to address specific consumer banking needs and interests. Bank managers have also begun using iPad to share information in client interactions.
"The size is perfect for interacting with the public," Uguina says. "It's small enough to carry easily, but big enough to display all the information that we want to share with customers. And we require a device in which the battery lasts a long time, which a PC unfortunately doesn't have — but iPad does."
Apps for Global Business
In addition to its consumer applications, BBVA has developed in-house apps such as a worldwide employee directory, an internal newspaper, and Workflows Control, a workflow management tool for iPhone and iPad.
Other essential business apps from the App Store — including Junos Pulse for secure VPN connections, and Apple iWork apps such as Pages, Numbers, and Keynote — are available to BBVA employees through an in-house portal.
"We also use MicroStrategy Mobile for internal management of the bank's dashboards and numbers," says Uguina. "Instead of bringing printouts or PowerPoint presentations to meetings like we used to, now we do it automatically in real time, directly from the bank systems."
And with the application Tango Video Calls for videoconferencing, it's easy to have face-to-face meetings with remote colleagues. "All our executives are now iPad fanatics," Panadero notes. "Not just for work, and access to all their information, but as an audiovisual communication device."
Total Financial Security
Out of the box, iPhone and iPad deliver the premium-grade security that BBVA requires for mobile workflows. The company also uses both MobileIron and Afaria for mobile device management (MDM) to authorize and manage its thousands of devices.
"We need to have maximum security," says Uguina, "and iPhone and iPad have passed all the tests. And if someone loses the device, we can delete the information remotely."
Support and training for the devices are minimal, he adds: "Installation and delivery are very simple. With both iPad and iPhone, the user experience is very good — employees are capable of using the device practically from the first moment."
Banking on the Future
As Grupo BBVA expands its financial reach throughout Latin America, Europe, the United States, and most recently, China, iPad and iPhone are helping the bank achieve its goals for ever-greater innovation and productivity.
"For us, innovation is simplicity," Panadero says. "And iPhone and iPad are very simple, very intuitive. Having everything you need in one device is simply magical."
"We see this as only the beginning," says Uguina. "The tools offered to us by iPhone and iPad will allow us to make applications in the future that look like science fiction today. iPhone and iPad really bring us closer to our idea of the future of banking."

Skip to comments.Senate Republicans: Permanently Delay the Implementation of Obamacare
Posted on 07/10/2013 3:29:20 PM PDT by ColdOne
All 45 Senate Republicans are calling for the implementation of Obamacare to be permanently delayed. The senators make their request in a letter to President Obama.
"We write to express concern that in your recent decision to delay implementation of the employer mandate, you have unilaterally acted and failed to work with Congress on such a significant decision. Further, while your action finally acknowledges some of the many burdens this law will place on job creators, we believe the rest of this law should be permanently delayed for everyone in order to avoid significant economic harm to American families," the senators write.
In response to questions about the administrations decision, your senior advisor Valerie Jarrett said, We are listening, while referring to the concerns of the business community over the onerous employer mandate that will result in fewer jobs and employees working fewer hours. We have been listening as well, and as more employers have attempted to understand your burdensome requirements in the Affordable Care Act, the louder their outrage has become.

Why not get Zer0 permanently unimplemented (retired)?
Mostly wacko birds.
These guys only exhibit courage when the result is going to be obvious.
their wimpyness is what got us Obamacare. They are to late!
They want to delay it until they can get all the illegals signed up.
I'd delay implementing it for everyone except the people who got waivers.
They really need to stop writing in this kind of milquetoasty 1986-era rhetoric.
Is that where all the GM bail-out money went?
Yes I know....I asked the mods to change that. LOL!
Don't negotiate with terrorists.
What's the difference between 'permanently delay' and 'repeal'?
I say let them implement all of it on schedule. The public must feel the pain. Delay just buys time and political advantage for the Dems. The parts of the bill that the public likes have already been implemented never to be repealed.
I believe certain RINO/republicans are happy to have Obamacare resurface as an issue so it will draw attention away from the fact they are ready to capitulate on an immigration/amnesty bill.
If real republicans want to do their job and earn their keep they can let Obamacare implode under the weight of its own deficiencies and flaws while they concentrate on killing any move to pass an immigration bill out of the house.
Let Obamacare go down and take the democrats with it.
Odds are a million to one they will do just the opposite.
Too late, the Obamacar is already being produced by Chevy. Its sales are dismal, and they have a problem with the battery catching on fire.
That was only for Hilliary's private use.
Threaten the SOB with impeachment for selective enforcement of the law. Good will will get you nowhere with this POS.
You got that right,
permanently delayed???? excuse me??? how about total annihilation!!!! gop too busy playing kissy kissy to the media
All the more reason to keep the heat on. Politicians are noted cowards.
You are exactly right. Obama is blatantly and willfully usurping the Constitution and violating his oath of Office by refusing to enact and enforce a law of Congress. It is shameful and unbelievable that Senate Republicans would encourage more of the same. Fucking dimwits.
If they really wanted to stop it, these phonies could have voted to DEFUND it several months ago. This is a boob bait offering b/c guys like Rubio and Alexander know they are now loathed by patriotic Americans after their amnesty horror show. Bob
Id delay implementing it for everyone except the people who got waivers.
Good one~
Look around the country to our cities. Look around the world to other countries. What do all African led entities have in common? Corruption, graft, criminal behavior at the administrative level, bribery, and robbing taxpayers.
The best way to end ObamaCare is to force people to comply with it.
Until then, the LIVs will never understand the negative consequences.

Carter, Kings topple Canucks
LOS ANGELES Jeff Carter scored the Kings' first power-play goal of the season and added the only score in the shootout, leading them to a 3-2 comeback victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night at Staples Center.
Defenseman Slava Voynov tied it with 43.2 seconds left in regulation for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who have won two consecutive games after an 0-2-1 start.
Jonathan Quick stopped 21 shots for the Kings, including all three Vancouver attempts in the shootout.
Roberto Luongo made 26 saves for Vancouver, which went 1-1-1 on a three-game California trip. Zack Kassian scored his fourth goal of the season, and Alex Burrows also scored in a rematch of the clubs' stunning first-round playoff series last spring.
Luongo was sharp in his second start since losing his job to Cory Schneider, and the Kings struggled offensively through 59 frustrating minutes until pulling Quick for an extra attacker.
Voynov teed up a shot from the point that found a hole in heavy traffic, wobbling past Luongo for the Russian defenseman's first goal of the season.
After a scoreless overtime, Quick easily stopped Burrows, Alexander Edler and Kassian, while Carter beat Luongo in the third shootout round.
The clubs hadn't met since the eighth-seeded Kings eliminated the Presidents' Trophy-winning Canucks in five games before romping through the next three rounds to the title.
Although the Kings handily won the clubs' playoff series, a 111-point Vancouver team arguably gave the Kings their toughest test during their 16-4 rampage through the postseason. The Kings persevered through several tight games against Vancouver, capped by an overtime victory in the Game 5 clincher.
The Kings got off to a slow start after winning the franchise's first title, getting blown out by Chicago in their banner-raising season opener before winning only at Phoenix on a three-game trip.
The Kings finally returned home to face the Canucks, who made their second appearance in Southern California already this season after routing the Ducks on Friday.
The Kings started slowly against Luongo, and Vancouver already had a 2-0 lead when the Kings ended their 0-for-25 start on the power play this season.

A few new goodies for you today, thrown in with a LoTD!
Today sees a very simple LoTD with really just a sweater, so I decided to add What Next's Lazy Sunday items in the background too! These are available today for a reduced cost and you can put them out a singles, or one big linked party of prints, very classy and a great addition to ANY room decor! The Sweater from NiNight Creations I am wearing is actually an old Lazy Sunday item. Again, it is a simple piece of clothing, just a thick knit hoodie really, but being able to wear it like a dress is a bonus, so I don't have to fit any jeans or leggings under it YAY! I am also wearing one of the three new Truth Hairs. This is the cutsey of the lot, Essie… a pig tail style that's simple, cute and makes me want to suck on a lollipop!
Worn above, and below is one of the Al Vulo TDR Fusion Skins, you can find three makeups there all in this sultry Chocolate tone, very pretty. Below I showcase just one of the colours of the new mesh Zaara Jewellery line! The Atiriya Jewellery set is a gorgeous work of art available in 6 stone options (including both gold and silver metals) and the bonus is you can buy each piece individually or get a discounted set as well as a huuuuuge mega fatpack!
You can see the love and care that has gone into creating these items, so intricate and detailed, so beautiful and whimsical! I love them. I have opted to show the Turquoise colour as it's one of my fave colours, which will be YOUR fave?
More credits below.
Happy Sunday, folks ❤

Down to the wire
I didn't learn too much at the meeting that I didn't already know. The race officials traveled the trail on Sunday to set up markers, and supposedly rain dumped down the entire time. There's still a threat of rain on Saturday, but if what some of the checkpoint volunteers have been saying about recent nighttime temps is true, the trail could be deliciously solid. Bad for the skiers - but good for me, if it stays cold (if not, bad for everyone.)
Right now I'm feeling a surge of optimism. Watching my gear pass the test, listening to race officials describe the trail, looking at their slides and comparing the images to my memories of the portion of the trail I've traveled - all this has worked my spirits up and right now I feel more excitement and less anxiety. My comfort level was also boosted by their description of the sheer number of markers they put up and the volunteers' heavy patrolling of the race course - basically nullifying my chances of getting hopelessly lost out there (even beyond cold, fatigue and injury, this has actually been my biggest fear all along.)
Now I guess all I can do is go out and Git'R'Done, as my friend Jessica suggested. (Jess actually worded it "As we like to say in Canada, just gid'er'done." That's pretty much the funniest thing I've ever heard. ) But to everyone who has supported me along the way, and who has been sending me good energy this week, I just wanted to say thank you. It means more to me than you know. That's the kind of energy that really makes or breaks life's hardest battles, and I just want you guys to know I'm feelin' the love. Now, it's just about time to go out and represent.
T minus one day, 10 hours, seven minutes and counting.

Get after it Jill -- WAHOO!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous6:04 AM
I've been reading your blog and keeping up with your training from lil' old Ireland for the past few months. You've been an inspiration to me when I have been pushing my own bike around the block and further. Best of luck with the race..I'm sure you'll do great!ReplyDelete
p.s. what are you gonna write about after?
Wahoo! This is so cool, Jill. I thought I'd check out how it went yesterday - am so glad you're going into it with confidence because you certainly deserve to do that, you have earned that right with all your training.ReplyDelete
We are, however, going to have to find you another race to keep you busy for the second half of winter!
The Trib Tribe is rooting hard for you. Everyone is talking about it - when does she start? How long is the race? Do you think she needs medication or is this just temporary insanity? The jury's still out on the last one, but we're proud as heck anyway.
Go get em'!
Yee-ha! Kick trash, Jill! Good luck sleeping tonight too. I'm sure when your preparation meets your performance, you'll be pretty satisfied with what you find.ReplyDelete
Jill, Gid-er-done is a hoosierism as well, so gid-er-done! Here's a shot of the pent up energy I've had bottled up for the past few weeks not being allowed to ride......ReplyDelete
You are going to do great, I have it on good authority, a Gypsy Fortuneteller told me so!
15 pounds.ReplyDelete
I'm joining my son this weekend for his first ever Boy Scout winter alpine camping trip. I'm looking at the gear list with some amazement -- they take this "Be Prepared" stuff seriously. If I can keep it below 30 pounds I'll be happy. They're going a half mile and spending only one night out.
Get'er'done, Jill, and good luck.
ok, no.....really, the best part is that I read it in my head and pronounced it there "gid'er'done" and didn't even notice the fact till I reached the next line...ReplyDelete
good luck from Ontario

Nash's Heroics Help Rangers Earn Point In 4-3 Shootout Loss
Jim Cerny
Rick Nash and the Rangers staged an exciting comeback against Nash's former team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Monday night at Madison Square Garden and it earned them a point in the standings, but they could not secure the second point as the Blueshirts dropped a 4-3 decision in a contest decided by the shootout.
After the Rangers had wiped out a two-goal third-period deficit and survived a wild overtime in which they were outshot 6-1, they could not beat Sergei Bobrovsky in the shootout while Columbus' Mark Letestu and Ryan Johansen both bested Henrik Lundqvist to give the Blue Jackets the extra point.
Mats Zuccarello and Nash both tested Bobrovsky's glove in the shootout and came away empty. Letestu beat Lundqvist low glove side before Johansen won it in the second round with a dazzling backhand shot roofed under the crossbar. The Rangers are 3-2 in shootouts this season, and they are now three points ahead of the Blue Jackets in the Metropolitan Division standings.
Trailing 3-1 early in the third period, despite having outshot Columbus 31-20 through 40 the first 40 minutes of play, the Rangers erupted for a pair of goals in a two-minute span to forge a 3-3 tie and bring Madison Square Garden back to life.
Brian Boyle scored from out in front---with both Moores, Dom and John, earning the assists--at 4:53 to start the comeback. The goal was Boyle's third of the season and second in as many games, and he celebrated by raising his arms, skating to the side, and slamming his stick against the glass.
New York then pulled even at 6:55 when Nash scored his, and the team's second power play goal of the night. With Ryan Callahan providing the screen in front, and Brad Richards making the smart pass back to Nash inside the blueline, Nash sent a long-range shot past the reigning Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky stick side and the Rangers had pulled even on the scoreboard.
Nash had been held without a point and without a shot on goal in his first-ever game against his former team in a 4-2 Rangers loss to the Blue Jackets on December 12th. By the end of the first period Monday he already had a goal and three shots. Nash's goals Monday were his eighth and ninth of the season, and second and third in his last 11 games.
Bobrovsky, who missed the previous 14 games due to a groin injury, was tested early and often with the Rangers recording 16 shots in goal in the first period, 15 more in the second, and another 11 in the third. Despite this being his first game action since December 3rd Bobrovsky showed why he is one of the league's elite netminders by keeping his team in the game throughout even when the Rangers outshot and outchanced them by a fairly decisive margin at times. He finished with a season-high 40 saves.
At the other end of the ice was Lundqvist, who preceded Bobrovsky as the 2012 Vezina Trophy winner. He was very sharp, as well, but was beaten on a deflection, a breakaway, and an odd-man rush---and had to be wondering why he couldn't have had the type of game Cam Talbot did in Toronto on Saturday when the Rangers cruised to a 7-1 victory. However Lundqvist kept his focus and continued to make big stops, and it paid off when the Rangers rallied in the third period.
In overtime Lundqvist stopped six shots, including a tremendous glove save on a Cam Atkinson rocket. Lundqvist ended the night with 36 saves.
The Rangers outshot the Blue Jackets 16-10 in the opening period with the scored tied 1-1 after 20 minutes of play. The two key players who were a part of the summer 2012 trade between these two teams ironically were the goal scorers in that first period.
Brandon Dubinsky put Columbus on the board first when his deflection in front beat Lundqvist at 17:07. The puck was actually deflected twice on the way to Lundqvist---James Wisniewski's blueline slap shot first caroming off Nathan Horton's stick before Dubinsky got a piece for his eighth goal of the season.
Eaxctly two minutes later Nash scored his first goal of the night to pull the Rangers even, 1-1. With Columbus forward Mark Letestu in the penalty box for tripping, Nash took a pass from Michael Del Zotto in the left circle, and snapped a quick shot that beat Bobrovsky short side with 52.8 seconds remaining in the period.
A controversial turning point in the game arrived on the first shift of the second period when Chris Kreider leveled Columbus defenseman Fedor Tyutin, the ex-Ranger, and Tyutin fell hard and awkwardly into the boards. Dubinsky came over, dropped his gloves, and took some swings at Kreider, but the Rangers forward did not take the bait while trying to explain that his hit was a shoulder to shoulder one and that Tyutin was not hit from behind.
The officials decided to assess Kreider a five-minute major for boarding along with a game misconduct, while Dubinsky was hit with a roughing minor. On the ensuing 4-on-4 Atkinson took off on a breakaway for Columbus and beat Lundqvist between the pads to give the Blue Jackets a 2-1 lead 61 seconds into the middle period.
The Rangers regrouped and killed off the remaining three minutes on Kreider's penalty and then were frustrated over and over by Bobrovsky who set about robbing the Blueshirts left and right. When Wisniewski scored off the rush with 3:13 remaining in the second period to put New York in a 3-1 hole it looked like this was not going to be the home team's night. That is until Boyle started the Rangers exciting comeback early in the third period.
Now 5-2-1 over their last eight games, the Rangers head to Chicago to face off with the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks on Wednesday night.

Exeter have rewarded Fetu'u Vainikolo for his impact off the bench last week with a start in Sunday's LV= Cup final against Northampton.
Exeter Chiefs have rewarded Fetu'u Vainikolo for his impact off the bench last week with a start in their LV= Cup Final against Northampton Saints.
The finisher comes in for Tom James on the right wing, with Matt Jess making the switch to the opposite touchline while Jason Shoemark is 12.
Shoemark replaces Ian Whitten in the line-up in an otherwise unchanged backline to the one that edged Bath 22-19 at the Recreation Ground.
And now Exeter head coach Rob Baxter has challenged his players to go out and create yet more headlines in the history of the club.
"We're very excited and looking forward to the game because this is what we need to be doing," he said, speaking ahead of the home final.
"I just said to the guys today, we don't need to beat Northampton four times or whatever to win the trophy, it's about the 80 minutes this weekend, that's what cup finals are all about.
"What we have to do is walk out onto our own pitch and put in an 80-minute performance. We were pretty good last time against the Saints here, but now we have to be a bit better. Let's go out and play in a way that we are happy with and gives us the chance to force a win. That is what you have to do in a final – you have to go out and win it."
Meanwhile, Northampton have rung the changes for Sunday's finale at Sandy Park.
Over 40 players have seen action in the Saints' LV= Cup campaign so far this season, and defence coach Alan Dickens admitted during the week that selection had been difficult.
In the backs James Wilson and Jamie Elliott come in at centre and wing respectively after missing the semi-final win over Saracens, with Stephen Myler swapping with Will Hooley.
Up front there are returns to the starting line-up for props Alex Waller and Salesi Ma'afu, second-row forward Samu Manoa and back-rowers Calum Clark and GJ Van Velze.
Ethan Waller, Tom Mercey, James Craig and Ben Nutley all begin the game as replacements, along with Ross McMillan, Alex Day and Fa'atoina Autagavaia.
The teams:
Exeter Chiefs: 15 Luke Arscott, 14 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 13 Phil Dollman, 12 Jason Shoemark, 11 Matt Jess, 10 Henry Slade, 9 Dave Lewis, 8 Kai Horstmann, 7 Ben White, 6 Dave Ewers, 5 Damian Welch, 4 Dean Mumm (capt), 3 Hoani Tui, 2 Chris Whitehead, 1 Ben Moon.
Replacements: 16 Luke Cowan-Dickie, 17 Carl Rimmer, 18 Alex Brown, 19 Romana Graham, 20 Don Armand, 21 Haydn Thomas, 22 Gareth Steenson, 23 Sireli Naqelevuki.
Northampton Saints: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Ken Pisi, 13 George Pisi, 12 James Wilson, 11 Jamie Elliott, 10 Stephen Myler, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 GJ van Velze, 7 Phil Dowson (capt) 6 Calum Clark, 5 Christian Day 4 Samu Manoa, 3 Salesi Ma'afu, 2 Mike Haywood, 1 Alex Waller.

Skip to comments.Driving Loveland Pass Winter
Posted on 11/30/2012 10:20:23 AM PST by GSWarrior
Anyone up for a drive over Colorado's Loveland Pass?
Buckle up!
brought back fond memories (sort of)
I was born and raised in Colorado spent my summers and a lot of the winter in Georgetown. Skied Loveland and Arapahoe until I was old enough to get on the ski train to Winter Park (yeah I have skied all of those other 'famous' places too but your chops are made at Loveland)
You should try to ski down the backside of the national forest at nighttime during a full moon. Absolutely wonderful. Have a driver drop you off at the top on HWY 6. The car can then pick you up on one of the cutbacks below. Watch out for the creek near the bottom. Big rocks.
my brother lives and works in Breackenridge
Used to go night skiing at Keystone on Tuesday nights. Rode along with a guy whose idea of fun was to drive over Loveland at night.
Did that drive once with my wife. Just spectacular. Thanks for posting.
Another spectacular mountain pass in Colorado is on the Western Slope:
I camped out near the top in October 1981, before the snow hit, and the star gazing was spectacular!
One of my favorite memories. Thanks for reminding me.
Let it snow!
I 'm thinking of starting a Scenic Drive ping list or something like that.
Holy crap, thats one shear cliff with no guard rails!!
And no shoulder to speak of either! Most of the mountain passes that I drove over in Colorado did not have guard rails.
Another spectacular drive is Trail Ridge Rd through Rocky Mountain National Park, no guardrails either!
I did Mt Evans,the highest paved road in North America,last June.It's 14,100 feet and at the top I thought I was gonna die.Going up we saw several guys on bicycles.I had a heart attack just watching them.And just like the road you mentioned...NO GUARD RAILS! Yikes!!
Independence Pass (highway 82) into Aspen is way narrower and scarier than Loveland Pass.
Lincon did an MKZ infomercial on Loveland pass (closed) with timed speed runs from the ski area parking lot to the summit. Hit 110 MPH in spots. Beat the quadra-slam Masarati, the Jaguar and the Mercedes, just barely got beat by the BMW.
Cool :) Not so much anymore but I also loved going to the mountains during the Summer. Sometimes I would drive the back-way between Breckenridge and Keystone and then go over the pass and stop at the top. One time I hiked uphill and it took a good while to get there but the view was great though.
Just to clarify "Not so much anymore" - meant I use to go to the mountains a lot but not much anymore due to work and family schedule.
Just to clarify "Not so much anymore" - meant I use to go to the mountains a lot but not much anymore due to work and family schedule.
My favorite memory of Loveland Pass is from the early 80's when it used to be a stage on the Tour Of The Moon bike race.
The year I remember, it was hailing nickle size hail at the top of the pass, so the riders who were already wiped out by the brutal climb up the pass at much higher altitudes than most of them are used to then got beat up even more by the hail. [big grin]
Red Mountain Pass is on highway 550 that goes from Ouray to Silverton and then on south to Durango. Not one local drives that road in the winter. No guard rails, avalanches take them out, snow sheds in some places.
One year they had to wait for the spring thaw to locate one
of the snow plows that had been swept off the road.
I lived in Denver for 3 years and drove up Mt Evans a few times. The first time I drove up there, it was 90 degrees in Denver, so I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, which was fine during the day. As it got later in the day, I decided to head back down and realized I locked my keys in the car. At 14,00 feet up, it was starting to get cold and I decided to look through the ruins of the burnt-out Evans Lodge and I found a wire coat hanger and was able to unlock my car. I was about ready to break open the window with a rock!
That road must have a high "Pucker-Factor". ;-)
My parents are from Colorado: mom from a small town south of Steamboat, dad from Denver. Dad's parents bought a small cabin on Mt Evans back in the late 30's. It is still there and still in the family! I have such fond memories of being at "the cabin" for day trips.
Though we are all on the east coast now (and dad passed away), a piece of my heart remains in Colorado.
Independence Pass is also a Colorado favorite. Its a one lane road with NO guardrails and is closed until late spring. That said, most mountain roads here have very gentle inclines and are easy to navigate.
I recall going over Fremont Pass with a buddy and our girlfriends (went to college out there). We made it over the top and I quipped "Hey - we all reached Climax together!"

By KALYNN FAILGuest Writer
Green River High School senior class of 2010 was 13 strong. Their class quote was by Confucius "Wherever you go, go with all your heart." Senior class president Kayden Mecham thanked everyone for the many years of support everyone gave them. He said "We are a product of our community and the people that influenced our lives. Your advice will be forever ingrained in us as we take the next few steps into the future of becoming adults."
Salutatorian Jill Vetere asked the seniors just who they are and who they will be. She gave them a few tips on how to best answer that question. 1: Fear can be your best teacher. It's OK to be scared; our fears give us wisdom and tell us that we may need help. Remember, you and your dreams are bigger than your fears. 2: Your Master Plan, we may think we have everything all figured out, but something with happen and our master plan will be altered. Don't be so set in your ways that you can't change your plans, adapt, switch directions, or strike out on a new path. 3: Mistakes - learn from them. 4: Courage, as we step into the next phase of our lives, we are going to need courage. Courage tells us that we can get through the tough times even if it feels like we can't. 5: Curiosity, stay curious, ask questions, stay teachable, we still have a lot to learn. 6: Gratitude, have a little gratitude, be thankful for what you have and you will end up having more, if you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough.
Lydia Dunham, class Valedictorian told the senior class that they were about to make choices about their futures, choices that will determine the places they will go, the people they will meet and most importantly, the choices concerning who they will become. She quoted John M. Richardson, "When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people: those who let it happen, those who make it happen, and those who wonder what happened." She said they all have a choice right now, a choice that leads to more choices-a choice to lead to a life with purpose.
The advice Sheri Vetere gave them was remember each of you has the potential to be whatever you choose, please strive to be the best at whatever that is. Remember, sometimes you can't control the wind but you can adjust the sails. Class of 2010 includes: Brittney Nicole Bastian, Courtney Chanel Carter, Keith Allen Clark, Lydia Ruth Christabell Dawn Dunham-Valedictorian, Tracy Nicole Engleman, Class Secretary, Daniel Earl Lee Hales, Kari Lynn Mayall, Kayden Ty Mecham, Class President, Diego Horacio Mendoza, Danielle Joanne Monroe, Robert Stephen Pitt III, Mitchell Blair Vetere, and Jill Ashley Vetere-Salutatorian.

Hornets fancied to sting Hull
Craig Chisnall is backing Watford to continue their surge up the npower Championship table this weekend.
- Related Content
Watford's rapid rise up the Championship table has caught me on the hop but I won't be ignoring them this weekend at home to Hull.
I've got to admit I had the Hornets down as strugglers this term after new owners the Pozzo family ruthlessly dispensed with the services of boss Sean Dyche in favour of Gianfranco Zola.
But with Zola being able to call on an army of high-class loanees from the Pozzo's other clubs, Udinese and Granada, they are absolutely flying.
Zola's hastily assembled side are unbeaten in seven, have won four of the last five and are scoring goals for fun.
Strugglers Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley were seen off 4-1 in their last two games and I'd back them to see off high-fliers Hull at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
Zola has the luxury of chopping and changing a large squad at will and it's only having a positive effect on results.
Hull are going well themselves but the 7/5 offered on a fifth Watford win in six looks too good to ignore.
Another team in fine form are Leeds and they look a juicy 2/1 to make it four wins in four when they head to Derby.
Neil Warnock's men, as well as the Elland Road support, have been galvanised by their impending takeover as well as the arrivals of loan recruits Jerome Thomas and Alan Tate.
They have rocketed up to the cusp of the play-offs by beating Crystal Palace, Leicester and Huddersfield in the last fortnight and will head to Pride Park full of confidence.
The 4-2 win at Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield was particularly impressive and striker Luciano Becchio is in the form of his Elland Road career.
The Argentine striker has taken his tally to 14 for the season with four goals in three and will fancy his chances of bagging another against the Rams.
Improving Charlton also look a big price to continue their upturn with a win at home to Gus Poyet's Brighton.
The Addicks have not lost in six, extending their unbeaten run with a good point in the South East London derby at Millwall last time out, and have really tightened up at the back.
The addition of journeyman striker Rob Hulse in attack has also given them a focal point and I fancy them to shock the Seagulls. At 15/8 with Bet Victor they are well worth considering.
So too are Ipswich who have climbed to the heady heights of 20th after impressive wins over Nottingham Forest and last week at Bolton.
New boss Mick McCarthy is obviously making an impact at Portman Road and the six goals of QPR loanee DJ Campbell have been a godsend.
Millwall are unbeaten in 13 but I think they might come unstuck this weekend - you can get 7/4 on Town and I will be taking that.
In League One Notts County's wonderful run on the road is showing no signs of slowing up and they have the firepower to see off Yeovil at Huish Park this time out.
The signing of targetman Chris Iwelumo recently has underlined their ambition to maintain a promotion challenge this term and winger Alan Judge is having a fine season.
But it's at the other end that they have impressed this term, conceding just a goal a game in their 20 matches and just eight on their travels. A sixth away success of the season is priced at 6/4 and that would net a healthy return.
Finally, two of League One's form teams clash at Griffin Park and I can't see anything separating Brentford and MK Dons.
Uwe Rosler's young Bees squad were excellent value in their 2-0 win over Sheffield United recently with Blades boss Danny Wilson backing them as one of the teams to beat this season.
But this is another real test of their credentials against a Dons side who have overcome a slow start to the campaign to climb to third.
They are unbeaten in nine and now their grudge match with AFC Wimbledon is out of the way they can get back to focussing on earning a place in the top two.
I made them my League One team to beat at the start of the season and I've seen nothing to change my mind. But Brentford have lost just once at home this season and the Dons would probably take a point. At 12/5 the draw looks a great price.

New series, enjoy.
New series, enjoy.
Vampire stories sure are popular.
They have flying cars like those from "Back to the Future", man we are almost around year 2015 and no sings of them :p.
I haven't read Negima or Love Hina, but this seems to be interesting on it's own anyway (even though it's technically a sequel to Negima ?).
From the looks of it, MC will soon be joining some kind of high school or organization basing on the cover page.
^ This is the first vampire story I read and enjoyed it. I tried to read Negima but the first couple of chapters are hard to pass by seems to redundant to me. Negima is not a vampire story I'm pretty sure, you sure this a sequel to Negima? Although I don't read it I hear it gets real good later on Negima that is.
Take it from me FM it is worth a shot later on. The action scenes are pretty good, comedy is great, + A broken Character, who doesn't love broken characters?
Also, saw UQ holder on a site earlier but just passed it up, didn't know it was a sequel to negima til' I saw your post. Read it and enjoyed it so far.
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
One of the graves had Negi Springfield written over them (he is the MC's grandfather), plus the vampire women, is the same one as the one from Negima (there are even Negima characters appearing in the prologue when she explains what she is and what it means to be immortal), it's just that she is now in an adult form.
The whole setting is around (+/-) 100 years after Negima, 10 years after humanity accepted magic and started using it daily, it is the start of the age of magic (mentioned in this chapter).
It is a sequel, but not a direct sequel (IIRC direct sequel means a sequel that starts more or less where/or right after the oryginal ended and not after 100 years were most, including the MC from the previous one, are dead, seemingly).
I must admit it is well written and drawn. On one side, it draws new readers, while one the other hand the ones that have read Negima will notice some cameos or names, or other references to the story, so basically, reading the previous work, enhances the experience of reading the sequel, though it is not needed to enjoy the sequel itself for what it is by itself. I have seen this being done and it is certainly the safest way to create another work. Not to mention that it gives additional depth to the new story and world.
Isn't his family name the same as konoka? or whatever asuna's BFF's name was?
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
One the grave is written "Negi Springfield" and he calls him "grandfather". How could anyone miss that ?
His surname is indeed Konoe, because that's the surname his parents had (as can be seen in above spoiler as well).
The Record of Fallen Vampire
If one cannot enjoy this story, then the vampire stories are not meant for that someone at all.
Yes, it would seem that the main character's father(or mother) was the offspring of lesbians. Magic explains how that works. The other parent is the child of Negi and whoever.
I Love You!
