The New York Islanders went into tonight's game against the Carolina Hurricanes with the hopes of ending a four-game losing streak before heading back to Madison Square Garden on Thursday night for their Valentine's Day re-match with the New York Rangers. Despite ending their scoreless power play streak, the Islanders would add another tally to the loss column with a 6-4 defeat on home ice.
Frans Nielsen opened the scoring with a power play goal just 2:48 into the hockey game with assists coming from Josh Bailey and Travis Hamonic. But former Islanders Tim Wallace would tie the game a little over mid-way through the first period, sending both teams to their respective locker rooms in a draw.
The middle frame would prove to be a wild one. John Tavares scored the Isles second power play goal after jumping on a rebound in front. Matt Moulson and Lubomir Visnovsky earned the helpers. But Canes forward Jeff Skinner would knot it up at two less than 30 seconds later with a snap shot in the high slot that Rick DiPietro never saw.
It had been a pretty quiet season for Brayden Schenn thus far through the first quarter of the shortened year.
But finally, the younger Schenn brother broke out for his first mult-point game of the year. His goal and two assists lead the Flyers past the Hurricanes in a 4-3 overtime win.
(Pictured: Brayden Schenn and Jakub Voracek celebrate after Schenn's goal. AP Photo/Matt Slocum)
Poor play in the third period almost cost the Flyers two points once again.
This time, Danny Briere came to rescue of those points, beating Cam Ward in overtime to send the Flyers to a 4-3 win over Carolina. It was their fourth straight game earning a point, going 3-0-1 on the four-game home stand.
It was also the second straight game the Flyers spend in overtime, having lost to the Panthers 3-2 in a shootout on Thursday.
The Flyers were able to end it before they got to the shootout this time. Briere broke into the zone and skated across the slot, faking a pass to Kurtis Foster before squeezing the wrister through Ward's legs to win the game.
(Picture: Matt Read celebrates after scoring in the second period. AP Photo/Matt Slocum)
The Flyers are 2-0-1 on their four-game home stand so far. They conclude it against the team they started it against in Carolina. Can they cool down a hot Cam Ward and Eric Staal all while staying out of the penalty box?
The Flyers were a dismal 5-for-40 on the powerplay heading into the game, good for 24th in the league at 12.5%.
That number increased after the Flyers' offensive outburst with the man advantage and it helped them snap a three-game losing streak with their 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes Saturday night.
The Flyers went 3-for-3 on the power play, by far their best special teams effort of the season.
(Pictured: Kurtis Foster celebrates after scoring the first goal of the game. Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)
The Flyers look to snap a three-game losing streak against a hot Hurricanes team. The Flyers are also starting a four-game home stand in which they start and finish versus Carolina.
The 2013 NHL season is no longer an 82 game marathon, but instead is a 48 game dash to the finish line.
Will teams that had multiple players skating in Europe fair better? Will veteran squads win because they will have fresh legs all season long? Only the next few months will tell.
Here are my Eastern Conference power rankings.
1. Pittsburgh Penguins – A healthyEvgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby will lead Pittsburgh deep into the Stanley Cup playoffs. The addition of veteran goalie Tomas Vokoun gives Coach Dan Bylsma a solid option if Marc-Andre Fleury falters.
2. New York Rangers – With the ...
The Islanders could not have rebounded from their 5-1 loss on Thursday night better than they did last night. The Hurricanes came to the Island 22-24-11, and they would start goaltender Cam Ward for the 51st time this season.
Tonight's game is one of the most important games of the year for the New York Islanders. With the Hurricanes being only one point below the 13th place Isles, this is a must win for both teams.
Coming into tonight's head-to-head with the Hurricanes, the Montreal Canadiens hadn't put two of anything together since the Western road trip that saw them beat the Coyotes and Predators two weeks ago. And it stopped there.
In the first period of this game, a significant portion of Habs' fans had their eyes on the Bruins/Sabres rematch, and it was difficult to blame them. Jiri Tlusty opened the scoring within the first minute of the game and Anthony Stewart made it 2-0 for the Hurricanes at the 6-minute mark. For the remainder of the opening frame, the Can...

'Secretariat': Middle of the Pack
Kat Murphy, Special to MSN Movies
Yet another feel-good product from Disney, in the athletically uplifting vein of "The Rookie" and "Miracle," "Secretariat" is as pastel-pretty as a Sunday school illustration. It's hard to mine much of a lesson -- or dramatic tension -- from the story of a born champion who came from behind only because that's the way he liked to break records and win races (16 out of the 21 he ran). So Mike Rich, writing a script suggested by turf journalist William Nack's "Secretariat: The Making of a Champion," livens up the doldrums between races with a feminist backstory about housewife Penny Chenery Tweedy (Diane Lane), who comes into her own through ownership and love of a big red colt named Secretariat.
Related: See photos of Secretariat| More on Secretariat
Unimaginatively directed by Randall Wallace, "Secretariat" often visibly strains to avoid painful or messy reality: Have faith, horsies never crap, and adversity never sticks for long. Forget normal conversation; every exchange is a sermonette, imparting hushed, Hallmark-card platitudes. Cumulatively, it's like being pleasantly slathered in warm, soapy water, with frequent splashes of "Oh Happy Day" to up the feel-good ante. (On top of that, former songwriter Wallace penned an end-credit ditty, "It's Who You Are," that "encapsulated the qualities I wanted in the whole film.")
We first meet Penny Tweedy in Denver-based domesticity that's pure "Father Knows Best." Setting dinner before her mildly self-serving lawyer-hubby (Dylan Walsh) and four picture-perfect offspring, Lane's blond-coiffed hausfrau is all sunshine mom, a dependable fixture at the familial table. Then her mother dies, leaving Penny in charge of an ailing dad (Scott Glenn, who occasionally pops out of dementia long enough to deliver gems like "Run your race") and a Virginia horse farm that's going broke fast.
The self-effacing woman who gave up a career to marry has only to spend a moment in dad's stables to metamorphose into Super(Business)woman. In the blink of an eye, Penny's fired a crooked manager, aced a super-rich breeder out of a foal she believes will be a champion, and pretty much left family life behind. Her voice grows firm, even takes on wit and edge, but she always remains a perfect lady, stylishly groomed and charming even in the clinches (mostly of the sexist variety, given male domination of thoroughbred racing). And this horse lover's no Hitchcockian Marnie; Penny's bond with Secretariat steers clear of sexual sublimation or the kind of hormonal passion with which Elizabeth Taylor burns in "National Velvet." No, in Disney's sanitized view of human/animal nature, she and "Big Red" are more like bosom buddies, with mutual dreams of winning their respective races.
Penny's self-absorbed kids hardly seem to notice her absence, but hubby turns sour, then becomes an outright stumbling block along with her Harvard economist brother (Dylan Baker). Still, Penny's blessed with a colorful trinity of devoted disciples: flamboyant French-Canadian trainer Lucien Laurin, famously fond of "Superfly" haberdashery (John Malkovich, his scenery-chewing less compulsive than usual); faithful groom Eddie Sweat (Nelsan Ellis, diva Lafayette of "True Blood," here a sweet, upscale Stepin Fetchit), and ultra-feisty jockey Ronnie Turcotte (Hall of Famer Otto Thorwarth, quite good in his acting debut). Oh, and Miss Ham (motherly Margo Martindale), faithful assistant, makes four. Mainly on board for silent support and reaction shots, it's she who gives Big Red his proper name.
So, what about the magnificent beast who gives the movie its name? All his acolytes treat Secretariat as a nearly divine object of love and even adoration, channeling their own shortcomings and ambitions through the thoroughbred who possessed a heart two-and-a-half times normal size. Courtesy of a small digital camera attached to the saddle, we can hear that mighty heart beating and the huge horse's breath coming fast and deep as he turbines down the Belmont Stakes track. But this visual experience falls short of the authentically visceral; it's a gimmick that never really catches the breathtaking majesty that was Secretariat in motion, galloping 31 lengths ahead of every rival to win the Triple Crown.
Surely noble Secretariat, perhaps the greatest racehorse who ever lived, deserves tougher, more kinetic moviemaking than this. For a taste of the real deal, check out this brilliant, single, unbroken take -- purely cinematic -- "shot" by Bill Nack, racetrack poet:
"A set of motions interlocked as one, a kind of chain reaction started by the hands: the flicking of the wrists, the grabbing of the bit, the pulling on the right line, the swinging outside, and then the first thrust forward, with dancer's grace, when Secretariat raised his forelegs in a single stride that lifted him and swept him ... and set him down sprinting three horses wide on Pimlico's tight first turn, like a hoop around a barrel, and through all this Turcotte sat still, having moved only his hands, and that's all he did."

Mary Zimmerman
"My own feeling is that scientific inquiry into the ways of the world is an act of sustained, intense attention, which is another way of saying an act of love. Like all great scientists, Galileo was overawed by the complexity and elegance of nature, and his work can be seen as a long hymn to its unfathomable beauty."
"When I learned that Galileo's father, Vincenzio Galilei, was a famous musician and composer and one who is sometimes credited with the invention of the opera form, I felt that our opera should move back far enough to include this fact ... thus moving towards its own origin, as the character of Galileo moves towards his."
- Mary Zimmerman, "Director's Note: A Note on the Libretto" Program notes, Goodman Theatre, 2002
Mary Zimmerman speaks about what attracted her to directing opera in this interview with Natalie Dessay, who performed the title role when Zimmerman directed Lucia di Lammermoor at the Metropolitan Opera.

The Perfect Car for the Reckless Teen Driver
For sale: Good, reliable car for reckless, irresponsible teen driver.
The owner of this 2002 Ford Focus thinks his car would be the perfect first wheels for a teenage driver. He doesn't mince words in his hilarious sales pitch on craigslist.org:
"You don't have to worry about speeding tickets or accidents in this baby. Your kid could have a 1 mile run and hit a brick wall not wearing a seatbelt and not be going fast enough to do sh*t.
"It's a 5-speed, so your kid can't talk on his cell phone while playing Gameboy and smoking pot -- he'll have to actually pay attention.
"It's got a new clutch and new tires, so you'll know if he does burnouts.
"It's got manual windows too, so he can't f**k up the window motors when he rolls one of his friend's heads up in it as a joke.
"... it is a 4-door, it will be somewhat embarrassing for him to be seen in it.
"I'm sure you get pissed at him from time to time. Hell, you're probably mad at him for harassing you into buying him a first car. So get this one. It has no A/C, so you'll know he's suffering."
What do you think? Good car for a teen?
Super funny…
"Hey Buddy I found you the perfect car…"

Each quarter, AutoNation selects associates who have demonstrated an above and beyond desire to help those less fortunate in the communities we serve. In their honor, we will donate either $500 for individual efforts or $1,000 for team efforts to their charities. To read more Community Star features, click here.
AutoNation is proud to recognize BMW Tucson as an AutoNation Community Star for their charity work with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
Every morning when BMW Tucson General Manager Michael Famiglietti arrives at work, he walks the service drive. "I noticed most of the cars had license plate frames with competitors' names on them. That meant, they were buying cars down the street but we were getting the service business," said Famiglietti . "I thought community outreach would help our sales and differentiate us from our competitors."
Famiglietti hit upon the idea of partnering with Kristi's Kids, a local television campaign by newscaster Kristi Tedesco of KVOA, and the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona to raise funds by donating five dollars for every license plate frame customers agree to exchange BMW Tucson frame. The promotion is publicized on the Kristi's Kids television segment.
BMW Tucson began this program in mid-August. Within a month, they raised $125, switching out 25 license plate frames. "I have to give credit to our service team and especially our valets Jason Nolasco and Robert Higbee. They ask our customers, 'Do you want to feed a child today?'" said Famiglietti.
By the end of the year, BMW Tucson hopes to have at least $500 to donate to the Community Food Bank. They are also building a sculpture with the competitors' license plate frames as a visible way of keeping track of their success. We will donate $1,000 in the dealership's name to the Community Food Bank to match their efforts.

A contradiction within itself-New Age Spirituality
I'm back from a two week holiday in the sticks & I'm causing trouble already!!
Is New age spirituality a contradiction within itself when it judges judgment & the ego as being bad, judgment is bad because it's of being judgmental & the ego is judged as being bad because it's of desires according to new age spiritualists.
Isn't judging being judgmental a judgement therefore bad within itself & to judge the ego as being bad isn't that being judgemental? So are new age spiritualists actually manifesting the so called bad of the world? You have got to wonder because before they became spiritually aware they didn't have a problem with egos & judgment & a multitude of other things.
Take the following quote that was recently presented on an internet site "The problem is not enjoyment; the problem is attachment", enjoyment usually represents attachments of some kind as an emotional human being can't attach itself usually to something that isn't enjoyable in some way, this would psychologically be impossible.
I could go on with this but the question is, is new age spirituality a contradiction within itself & is it manifesting/adding to the problems in the world?

May 10 2013: Judgment is only bad when you attach information that isn't relevant. You judge things constantly. Merriam Webster defines judgement as "the process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning and comparing".
This, in itself, is not inherently negative. However, when you evaluate something and add unrelated data it can become negative.
Let's say you find a red box on the side of your house. You open the red box to find a snake inside. From that point you judge all red boxes the same. "They must have snakes inside". You can see how that judgment is flawed. There's no way to know what a box has inside until you open it.
However, this judgment is a way you protect yourself. There is a chance, based on logic, that all red boxes have snakes. The issue is you have no way of evaluating the probability of this assumption. This is because the judgment is not based on probability or what outcome is more plausible. It is based on assumptions.
Judgments based on assumptions are also not inherently negative. They should serve as a guide. "This red box could have a snake in it".
Instead of refusing to open the box you should take precautions. Embracing assumptions with no substantial information to back them up can set you up for failure. Even if you had found a snake inside the red box you cannot assume every red box must contain a snake. It should only add to the list of possible outcomes. The frequency of snakes inside red boxes would serve as a better indicator of probability.
There is no evidence that new age spirituality is causing the problems in the world. I am not really sure what you are using to link the two.
May 10 2013: G'day Henry
To make judgment period is conflictive no matter what, a true spiritualist does not judge therefore they have no conflicts however after being on a number of spiritual forums I find self-titled new age spiritualists are judgmental therefore have to be conflictive in some way which of course they say their not. They soon judge me after I disagree with them which are contradictory to their beliefs.
There are too many spiritually aware people who call themselves spiritualist but they are obviously not because they judge & any judgment period is conflictive but a true spiritualist doesn't judge because they know there is no reasoning in judgment even of oneself however when one is spiritually aware as opposed to being a spiritualist one has to have conflicts to achieve fulfilment through experience & that is what we are here for I believe.
Here is an example of how some self-proclaimed spiritualists can be ignorant & judgmental. Science has proven while meditating you still think but most spiritually aware people won't have this so I'm ostracised in some way which by the way isn't very loving either which is yet another thing. Blatant deliberate ignorance & being contradictive within one's own belief system would have to add to the troubles in the world, it wouldn't help.
So many spiritually aware people have conflicts while becoming aware like certain words are supposed to be negative, the ego is negative no matter what, & judgment is negative as well, if one was to look at each other & the world as just vibrative matter living out certain different modes of thought to others we wouldn't look at everything, while becoming spiritually aware, as negative or positive just a difference, this is true acceptance. It's scary what is being taught out their like manifesting for yourself for instance, not too spiritual to me but that's just me I suppose.

Uta No Prince-Sama Personalized Form [Open]
Latest Journal Entry
June 12, 2013
June 12, 2013.So with all the requests I've been getting I've temporarily shut down the forms I could find.... ((Which is to say I can't figure out where two of them are that I know I have))
But I also uploaded a new Uta No Prince-Sama form. I've been busy with my constant roleplays on eleven UtaPri pages. So I figured with all the experience it'd be a shame not to share it with you~
I've also nearly completed a few of the requests that I've recieved. Granted having two out of about thirty isn't much to celebrate. Though it's enough to remind everyone I'm still here ne?
I plan to finish them up in as little time as possible. Working in no set order, so older or new, or serires doesn't quite matter. They'll all get done before I return to school this fall. Hopefully at least half before my birthday.
With that in mind the total count is
Naruto 7
Pandora Hearts 7
Fruits Basket 0
UtaPri 0
Current Standing on the forms
Ouran HS Host Club- Closed for now
Naruto- Closed for now
Pandora Hearts & Fruits Basket- Missing?
UtaPri- Open
Well if anyone still reads these, and has any other reqeusts let me know!
I'll be updating my 'fanfics' soon I recently recoved those files.
Okay thats it
Jah-ne minna-san!
