Yes, I know I've been among the absent. Two reasons:
- I've been busy. Truly.
- I'm so disheartened by this Fall's elections that I scarcely know where to begin, and (relatedly)
- I'm talking to some interesting people about some interesting jobs, and the last thing I want to do is blog myself out of employment. I wrote in 1995 about a friend who broke off a budding relationship because she didn't like what she saw about the guy in question on Altavista; this is a lesson I take to heart.
Nonetheless, there's some stuff worth writing about and pointing out. It follows.

Ask the Car Insurance Expert
My 21-year-old daughter was driving our car that was insured and a lady pulled out in front of her going on a blinking yellow light and my daughter was going straight on a green light. My daughter got a ticket for not having a license. It was the other person's fault and now her insurance does not want to pay for the damage. What should we do?
That sounds like a bogus reason for a claim denial, if that is the reason that the other driver's insurer is citing.
[Let Insure.com help you find affordable car insurance now.]
Even though your daughter was driving uninsured, it shouldn't affect your claim against the other driver. While your own policy probably states that only licensed drivers are covered, you're not making a claim against your own policy, and you don't have any such contract with the at-fault driver's insurance company.
If the insurer continues to deny your claim, I recommend you contact your state department of insurance. They can explain your rights and, if needed, you can file a complaint against the other insurance company with the department of insurance.

Is THQ on its Last Leg?
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Time has not been kind to THQ Inc. (NASDAQOTH: THQIQ). Once a powerhouse in the gaming industry, the company has suffered through a number of bad business decisions which left it barely alive. Stock prices have dropped to around 50 cents per share and show few indications of a turnaround anytime soon. Unlike Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) whose recently-announced layoffs appear to be more a result of internal restructuring than a desperate need to cut costs, THQ appears to be in serious trouble.
NASDAQ issued a notice to the game publisher recently, setting a deadline of July 23rd for the company to get its stock prices over the $1 mark for 10 consecutive days or it will be delisted. As if this wasn't bad enough, fitness company Adidas has recently filed a breach of contract lawsuit against THQ as a result of the company's failure to deliver a software title contracted as an expansion of Adidas' "miCoach" product line.
So how did THQ get to this point? Oddly enough, one of the major culprits in the company's downfall was the unexpected success of one of its products. The uDraw tablet for the Nintendo Wii was a top-selling accessory during the holiday season in 2010, so THQ began expanding the uDraw product line to include Xbox 360 and PS3 products as well. Unfortunately, a lack of interest on these systems coupled with a small library of compatible games turned one of the hottest accessories of 2010 into one of the most disappointing accessories of 2011.
Can THQ turn things around by their July 23rd deadline? It's possible, though they'll have to make a much stronger showing with upcoming in-demand products than they have thus far. The company recently cancelled its licenses for children's games and movie adaptations, claiming that it wanted to focus on "core franchises" such as its Warhammer 40k games, wrestling and fighting titles, and the upcoming sequel to Darksiders.
Unfortunately for THQ, very little has been shown to instill consumer confidence in its releases. WWE and UFC games are being released, Saints Row: The Third is still releasing DLC and Darksiders II is well into production. Other franchise games such as Dawn of War 3 and Company of Heroes 2 aren't doing so well, however, having only been hinted at despite multiple claims that led fans to believe one or the other would be officially announced at major gaming events. The anticipated Warhammer 40k MMO Dark Millenium Online may not be released at all if THQ can't find a publishing partner to help offset some of the game's expense, and the Red Faction series has been shelved indefinitely. If these are the franchises that are supposed to be THQ's focus then the company needs to move quickly to ensure that the fanbases don't get tired of waiting and move on to other interests.
If THQ does manage the turnaround, of course, then it could become a prime opportunity for investors who want to get in while prices are low. That isn't to say that the company will recover its former glory even if it does manage to stay listed with NASDAQ; bankruptcy, a buyout or the selling off of major studios or licenses could still occur even after an initial turnaround. Until THQ shows that it's making a strong recovery and that its putting the quality into its core titles that its customers want to see, it's unlikely that investors will start showing confidence in the company... at least not in the numbers that the company needs them to.

The NFL kicks off it's full first weekend of football this afternoon and the question is how do you jump start your fantasy season with a win? Every expert has their opinions and so does every hack like me. I won't go into my "expertise" when it comes to the fantasy football angle or lack of, but I will give you my picks at each positiion you should start, and .
sit this weekend. What you do with the information is completely up to you.
Start Em – Matt Schaub. It pains me to say that, PAINS ME. It is however the truth. Schaub looked very solid in his return from a knee injury that cost him his season last year. He will be salivating at the poor defensive structure he faces today against the Dolphins. With questions about RB Arian Foster's knee I fully expect Matt Schaub to attack the questionable and thin secondary of the Dolphins.
Sit Em – Pick any one of the five starting rookies and your safe but that would be a cop-out. Mark Sanchez is a cop-out as well but anyone who starts Sanchez this week has more to worry about with their team that the match-up against the Bills. If Sanchez is your best option…start looking to make a trade.
Start Em – Reggie Bush. LeSean McCoy against Cleveland is a cop-out. Reggie Bush could have a huge day today against the Houston Texans. There is one caveat, it needs to be a PPR league. Bush is going to be the dump receiver and will likely get you more points with his receptions than he will with TD's. If you do not have a PPR league, sit Reggie Bush and start someone else.
Sit Em – Cedric Benson: Benson is going to have a very good season this year in the Green Bay offense. He won't find success in week 1 against the 49′ers.
Start Em – Brandon Marshall. Marshall is back with Jay Cutler who will throw the ball to Marshall blindly. Marshall will drop some passes and catch some passes and you should expect a Pro-Bowl performance against the Indianapolis Colts. Marshall should light it up against his former teammate Vontae Davis who will likely line up against him.
Sit Em – Mike Wallace. Wallace missed all of training camp and all of the pre-season. He will play but the money should be on Antonio Brown. Wallace is going to need to get up to NFL performance level and it should take a week or two.
Start Em – Aaron Hernandez. The money man in New England is Rob Gronkowski but the Patriots locked up both of their TE's with new contracts and word out of Patriots camp is that Hernandez has become the go to target for Brady. Not surprising as teams will try and take Gronk out of the picture for Brady.
Sit Em – Jermaine Gresham. Gresham scored an average of 71 points last year in standard leagues and it's not likely that he will greatly out perform this year. Gresham faces a challenge this week when his Bengals play the Ravens on Monday night. Coming off a minor knee injury in pre-season, caution should be used.
Start Em – Mason Crosby. The Packers are a high powered offense facing a stifling defense in San Francisco. More than likely, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense are going to come up a little short more often than they put it in the endzone. Crosby should be putting points on the board.
Sit Em – Dan Carpenter. Carpenter was money for the Dolphins last season and while he typically slips way under the radar in fantasy circles starting him this week or even the first month wouldn't be a smart move. The Dolphins are going to have trouble moving the ball with any consistency and it's likely the team will not move the ball past the 50 yard line enough to warrant starting him any time soon. In fact you should probably ask yourself if he is taking up a roster spot on your team.
Start Em – Chicago. This could literally be a take a pick this week. Chicago will face Indy's Andrew Luck while Houston takes on the Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill. Both defenses could easily score more touchdowns than their opponent. (Sorry Phin fans but it's true).
Sit Em – 49′ers. I know, I said that the 49′er stifling defense could collapse the Green Bay offense. This is going to be a push and shove grudge match and if Aaron Rodgers can find a hole in the 9′er defense, it could go the other way. With so many defenses available in free agency you may be better off picking up a first week dump team and play a weaker match-up. The 9′ers are going to be a great defense this year but starting with the Packers could be a bit much to ask for out of the gate. Besides, would you want to give points back on the foot of Mason Crosby? Me neither.

Sam's Miami Blog: Friday
Published March 26, 2010 12:00
MIAMI, FL, USA - Sam Stosur had a phenomenal fortnight in Indian Wells and now, in her first tournament as a Top 10 singles player, she writes the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Blog for us. Come along for the ride!
Hi everyone,
Sorry for not writing last night, I got back to the hotel pretty late after Nadia and I played doubles and ran out of time. Today was really long too but I can't not keep you updated for another day! ;) There were a few stops in play due to rain today, which pushed the schedule back, and matches have had to run long into the night.
I won my match in three sets and it was a battle. Carla made me work for it, that's for sure. I'm very pleased to be through to the next round. I have a day off tomorrow as the doubles draw is still trying to catch up from cancelled matches today. One practice and a massage and I'll be done for the day.
Thanks for sending in all your questions, I'm trying to answer as many as I can. Here are a few more now.
Given you divide your time between US and Australia, you fly awfully long distances all the time. How do you cope with jet lag? Carl, UK
I just try to sleep whenever I can on the flights. If I'm tired and want to sleep I do, I don't really worry too much about what the time will be where I'm arriving. I figure if I can be as well rested as possible that's probably best.
What do you regard as your big weapons? Moja, South Africa
My serve, more specifically my second serve, and forehand.
What tournaments serve the best food to the players? Ken, USA
Toronto is amazing, it would have to be my favourite in 2009. A few years ago when I played in Stuttgart that was awesome too. I remember staying at the courts later some days just so we could have dinner there... That doesn't happen unless its really good!
Who are you good friends with on the Tour? Martha
All the Australians. All of us get along really well and want to see each other do well. It's nice to hang out with people from your own country when on the road too, just to talk about home or have a laugh, we all have a pretty similar sense of humour so that makes for fun times. A couple of other players who are good to have a laugh with are Francesca Schiavone and Svetlana Kuznetsova.
What is the significance of the ring that is intertwined in the necklace you wear in your matches? Hopefully that is not too personal! Elaine
It is nothing significant. It's actually just part of the necklace and chain. Its a Bvlgari necklace and I bought it for myself in Seoul when I played the tournament there in 2008. The other necklace I'm wearing at the moment I bought at the same time. I couldn't choose between the two so thought seeing as I had a good week and made the final there I'd get both ;)
I'm going to have to sign off now but I'll be back tomorrow.
Thanks for reading,

He undresses rumor to reveal lies
this is how the desperate man cries,
Extra Extra he tries to sadden ya,
a bundle of rancor rambles from the shambles of his shame
finding form on a page of purely personal pathos
what he can't have he taunts,
flaunts falsehood as fact in commiserating style,
vulgar and vile such as pornographic propaganda
designed to compell despair with poisened air,
what does he care, loyalty he knows not how to share,
decorum just a ditch in the swamp of his heart,
hurt hurt hurt is the mantra of his yellow emotion
a mud temple is his refuge,
burn love, ravage respect, ruin reputation
is the curve in his grimace, the grime in his game,
even the news stands have rejected his rank rubbish,
a character assassinator eliminated the Poet's assembly,
take your delusional drama to the closet playa
hang it on a hanger of humbled heresy,
your rusty razor shall not go "haymaker" anymore
remain in your "hayfever" brought on by Truth's retribution,
a wedge maker is your legacy, a virtuous man your fallacy -
A million times I've needed you
A million times I've cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one can ever fill
It broke my heart to lose you
But you did not go alone
A part of me went with you
The day GOD called you home
Your precious memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part
GOD has you safely in HIS keeping
But I have you forever in my heart
In your life you will meet SOMEONE SPECIAL sometime
Listen now as I tell you how death has took mine
Not a rock or a film star but a father so true
I lost SOMEONE SPECIAL when dad, I lost you
My heart it was aching when I saw my mum
Her crying, her shaking disbelief left me numb
I could not believe he was actually dead
Even after his name in the paper I read
At his funeral I carried his coffin with pride
Trying at all times my great hurt to hide
But my heart at last sank and the tears they did flow
But good memories stay with me where ever I go
His laughter, his smile, his quick cheeky wit
Were qualities that I admire, I admit
All children loved him with passion and fire
He showed love and kindness, which we all should admire
He left many people who cared a great deal
He touched their lives and their hearts he did steal
For to know him was pleasure and only brought joy
I was blessed to have loved him as both man and boy
dated 26/06/2011
You was the love of my dreams.
With you my dreams came true.
But everything is not as it seems.
I was always so very blue.
There were times I hated to come home.
My love became a obsession.
There were times I felt so alone.
That left me with many of questions.
So many times I hated you.
There where times I wanted to kill you.
All I could see was just us two.
You did not stay true.
You asked of me way to much.
I gave you everything you asked for.
My soul you did touch.
But left lost and at war.
You where the love of my life.
And now you are gone.
But you were my wife.
No Loitering, Skating, Skateboarding or Cycling.
the dead man does
no justice,
and yet he sees fit
to bask in his own
perceived lack
of glory,
for one without
he remains receptive,
idly ignoring the
calamitous claims
of those who have
yet to die,
he remains,
if only for a promise,
a covenant of
grandiose reckoning,
a covenant of truth,
he remains,
a dead man,
(a peculiar christ)
How could I forget this spot, Kevin
a serine Japanese garden
we sat right here
and there is the river birch that brought us shade
it was about six years ago today
a warm breeze collects thousands of ripples and sends them over the pond's soft surface
you brought Heavenly, your new step daughter
and I brought Mika , your new favorite niece
it was the perfect play date for our children who were soon to be cousins
belly laughs echoed from the gazebo, as we dipped our toes in the cool pond
splashing and kicking our fins as dandelion seeds parachuted across the water
today it's quiet…
I notice the cracks in the sidewalk
ants moving in circles
moss-covered rocks
and turtles …
rhythmically darting their heads to peer above the water…
I miss you, Kevin
and your son that I knew so briefly
he was so tiny when you left us…
name !
your wife remarried and moved out of state
She hides your son from us
afraid that he will love us like he did you
I know he must look just like you
blue eyes and long eyelashes
your extra wide shoulders and long arms…
a dead twig lies in the water where we once dipped our feet
there is no more laughter…
your mother is sad and your brother, Roger, has your photo on our mantle
we purchased a picture of you and affixed it to your grave
you look so happy in that picture wearing your Buckeye jersey
a scarlet and grey flower are in the vase next to your photo
please guide your son to meet us one day, Kevin
direct his paths while you wait for us from heaven
Uncle Roger and Aunt Gwendolen will remind him of you
in the meantime,
please find a spot like this one
with a towering birch and cascading branches that twirl in the wind
we will sit and reminisce
and share great big belly laughs…
this is my prayer, dear brother –in –law

No name appears on my stone
there are no flowers strewn
grasses grows knee high
full of thorny brambles
How did this come to pass
that so soon I am forgotten
no longer in memories am I
no one tends to my grave
Yet but a few short years
have passed since my death
my name once on many lips
now only sighed by the wind
as it passes my resting place
Now, forsaken, forgotten
out of sight and out of mind
nothing now remains of me
just my crumbling bones
moulder away deep in the earth
Here lies Deadline Devonshire, tardiness she did abhor
Her editor will tell you, "She was never late before"
Her sister laid claim to the gene pool's beauty and brains
Carolyn took credit for writing verse that's inane
Believed in reincarnation; wasn't Cleopatra
She merely adopted "been there, done that" as her mantra
She was the first to acknowledge her imperfection
But writing her own epitaph? Too much self-reflection!
I miss you dad every single day
The wonderful Times I remember
Are the times we spent together going
To dinner and church
The times I will cherish always on this earth
Your gentle ways and smiles and hugs
Made Life worthwhile for this is true
Forever you are missed in my heart and soul
But the forever is Heaven and you are there basking
In the Light of the Lord
I miss you dad and loved you so much
But eternity is yours to no longer hurt
Cancer is what took you far too soon
I am always remembering your hugs and
I loved you so much too.
Eternity is there for you now and forever
Remember I love you and Kisses from here
to you in the forever they call Heaven from earth

Sunday night I was out in Suwanee attending a surprise birthday party for an old high school buddy of mine. We were at the Mellow Mushroom located near City Hall…and if you're ever there ask for Jill. She runs the place, was also in our graduating class and an all-around great gal.
Anyway…needless to say I got in a little late. Because of that, I had planned on sleeping in just a little this morning before heading into work.
But NOooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooo…
At 6:30 A-frickin'-M my phone lights up like the goal light behind Kari Lehtonen during that game-three playoff massacre back in '07. I grabbed it and through my blurry eyes I thought I read a text message that went something like "Todd White traded to the Rangers". I rubbed my eyes, reached for my glasses…yes, glasses. Wanna make something of it?…then I looked again.
But the clarity that comes with my prescription spectacles only confirmed what I had originally read. Indeed it was true…Thrasherville was experiencing White flight.
As we now know, White will be winging his way to New York city to become a Blue Shirt and coming this way is Patrick Rissmiller, a 6-4, 215-pound winger who played primarily in the AHL last season. Long time NHL tough guy Donald Brashear was also part of the deal but, as Chris Vivlamore points out, the Thrashers have put Brashear on waivers and will buy out remainder of $1.4 million contract.
Another little-known part of the deal that has flown under the radar here is that a yet-to-be-named New York Rangers fan blogger will recieve my official Todd White Missing milk carton. However, it will be my responsibility to cover any shipping costs.
Don't worry…I dug into the deep pockets of my AJC Sports.com expense account and ponied-up the necessary funds to have UPS ship it up north by way of a refrigerated truck.
So in the end, the Thrashers dealt away White… who has one season left on his 4-year, $9.5 million contract… for a 38-year old bruiser whose will be bought out and a soon-to-be 32-year old depth forward who will earn one million this season before becoming a UFA next summer.
I like it.
I say that for multiple reasons. One…well, it finally brings to an end the Todd White era in Atlanta. Had Rick Dudley simply gotten anyone to take White and his $2.375 cap hit off our hands, then that was addition by subtraction in my most humble opinion. If the Thrashers were to get even as much as a seventh-round pick in return, I've often said, then that would have just been gravy. But Dudley and Co. will wind up with a depth forward with size. In fact, Rissmiller's resume contains 45 points in 182 NHL regular season games as well as 7 points in 30 NHL playoff games.
Dudley did right.
By adding Brashear in the mix, even if just to buy him out, what Dudley has accomplished in essence is to buy out a $1.4 million contract as opposed to White's $2.375 mil contract. Remember, White's shoulder surgery last spring made it impossible for the Thrashers to buy him out had they been so inclined.
Again, Dudley did right.
What do you think of Todd White traded to the Rangers?
Total Voters: 246
Another reason why I like this deal is because it opens up a roster spot for someone like Patrice Cormier. If the 20-year old center is indeed able to make the squad this fall, the center corps for the Thrashers could be Antropov, Peverley, Slater and Cormier. Dudley has indicated previously that he does not want veteran players taking spots away from up-and-coming prospects. This deal backs up those words.
Once more…Dudley did right.
This trade will no doubt get the week off to a good start for most in Thrasherville. As for me personally, I give it an official "thumbs up". No…make that two thumbs waaaaaaaay up.
In fact, as soon as Trixie makes her way in the office I'll grab her thumbs too and make it a first-ever Rawhide Four Thumbs Up-er.

Wasn't it Sutton that LEVELED Sundin up in Toronto???? Huge open ice hit and I seem to remember it being in Toronto's zone. Might have been Ex but I'm thinking it was Sutton. That is my all time favorite hit by a Thrasher.
August 3rd, 2010
10:50 pm
Actually, that was XLB who damn near killed Mats Sundin with his blindside hit. At least I think it would have been penalized under the new "head-protection" rules. Let's see if I can youtube it.
August 3rd, 2010
10:50 pm
You just wish Sutton would have dropped the gloves more often. Isn't that one of the issues we have with Doris?

Sabres folk-Darcy gave a 16 minute explanation today as to why he cut Tim Kennedy. He should have just said "I am an idiot" and saved the world 15:50 seconds that we might need later in life.
August 3rd, 2010
11:00 pm
Oh yeah, I remember that XLB hit on Sundin. Nasty! Speakin' of which…Anybody heard if he has signed anywhere, or not. Call me sentimental, but I wouldn't mind seeing him back here as a depth signing…say a two way deal.
WBF, I have really high hopes for Boris this year. He showed great improvement last year and I think he's finally learning to use his size without drawing the ridiculous penalties. He's still young!
August 3rd, 2010
11:03 pm
Yes sir, XLB done it. Sundin got lit up Salmela did when Carter plastered him in the crease after he scored a goal.
Problem with Valabik is he's big, but his balance sucks and he's a worthless fighter.

I believe Quinn had a big part in the Kennedy decision. Golisano and Larry Quinn must have gone to the same management school as the ASG. Hopefully ASG is learning something from Dudley.
August 3rd, 2010
11:45 pm
I hate to sound like such a Darcy Regier apologist, but I have to believe this was Larry Quinn's doing. The whole thing makes absolutely no sense to me. But I'm an outsider, for the Sabres. I need Rob, Tom, Smitty, WBF, Spudd Webb, Smoothie and others to explain to me, like I'm a 4-year old, how the Buffalo Sabres would cut ties with a "local boy" over $200,000, when the team is $6-7 million under the cap?
This has to be Quinn's doing. Here's my guess. Quinn got angry that Kennedy elected for arbitration, after such little time in the league. The way I see it, the player, any player, has the right to try to make as much money as he can. So, Kennedy thought he was a $1 million guy, for his 10 goals. Or whatever. Maybe he saw the Jim Slater contract and had visions of grandeur. Slater actually has 6 NHL seasons under his belt. Okay, so … I can't blame him for trying. But Quinn can, and does. The arbitration award is $800,000. Instead of just paying him, Quinn hypothetically figures, "I'll fix Kennedy's little red wagon. It was his lifelong dream to be a Sabre. Well, that ends now!!" So, now, Kennedy is a free agent. Because of $200,000. LOL. It's kinda funny. Would we do this with Saponari? (Is that his name?, who is from the Atlanta area.) No, I doubt it. And R.Stroz says the songbird sings, "cheap, cheap, cheap."
Ya know, rubbin' my chin … Buffalo must NOT CARE what their image is around the league. Look at the list. It's staggering. Brian Campbell, Jay McKee, J.P. Dumont, Chris Drury, Danny Briere, Toni Lydman, Henrik Tallinder, Mike Grier, Marty Biron, Ty Conklin, etc. And one wonders if Vanek would still be there, without the RFA offersheet. I'm starting to wonder if the Sabres' ownership is any better than the Octocluster. I'm trying to think of who STAYYYYYED in Buffalo. Let's see … Derek Roy. Pomminville. Ummmn. Ummmn. Patrick Lalime. Okay, Ryan Miller. Is Mair still there? Gaustad?? Paetsche?? Ellis?? Sekera?? Ahhh, what's his face, with concussions. One hit away from a permanent drool cup. Connelly, I think. He re-signed. Well, I guess that's better than we're doing, with our awesome track record of re-upping Eric Boulton and Jim Slater. And until Slava Kozlov signs somewhere else, which I'm sure he will, he'd be the 3rd guy we hang onto in perpetuity.

Hi Rawhide. Hope all is well for you and yours. Missed ya big fellow. Still deeply hurt over fact that gutless arrogant selfish Maryann Hosebag has his name enscribed on Stanley Cup. True travesty! No just in sports whatsover. Glad Ilya Kovalchoke showed his true colors. Did New Jersey proud huh? Well. Could not have happened to a nicer bunch of Devils! Wonder who powers that be have chosen as predetermined champions this season? Wish I had inside track on choice. Lots of money to be made! Gear up for season Bill. Should be some nice moments to come. Son in harm way. I know you understand friend. Blessed be. Drop the puck already! Getting set to jeer, uh, huh, aw, oh. All gone! Getting ready to cheer. GO THRASHERS!
August 4th, 2010
5:59 am
Smoothie, "Mr. Video" and you are right on with Valabik's balance. How did this guy get drated 10th overall!?
Brendan and smitty-you are correct on Quinn, but if I were as good as Darcy is supposed to be, I would get the heck out of Buffalo. Raise ticket prices are cut talent, unbelieveable. Glad we have Duds!
Who is the stentek imposter?
August 4th, 2010
7:42 am
Ex's hit: I don't know if it would be penalized or not with the new rule. It WAS a body check and that is what knocked MS on his backside but his head did snap back. Still my favorite Thrasher hit. Sundin didn't get punished enough imo.
August 4th, 2010
7:58 am
Brendan-just makes you happy to be cheering for the Thrashers, knowing that there are teams out there that have bigger problems than us. Tronna, Calgary, teams with cap issues that don't make the playoffs! We complain about not spending enough (so far), but I am pleased to cheer for a team that manages the cap compared to those who have dead money on their backs. How are these teams supposed to improve if they cannot bring in players to their NHL rosters? I still say our internal cap is $50M, which is OK for now.
FYI-Mair and Ellis are UFAs, Gaustad is overpaid for a 3rd liner, Paetsch is gone and Sekera looks like a bust. Less money for Buffalo payroll is more money in Larry's pocket.
August 4th, 2010
8:05 am
Sabres will always be one of those teams with an outside shot. The fans there have to single handedly be responsible for at least several wins a season. Something to be said for a packed place all screaming for the home town team and dogging the opponents. Makes an overall ordinary group play over their heads and find a way to make things happen. And Ruff behind the bench as an ex-player, captain, and fan favorite, there himself adds to it also. Goes to show there is no rhyme or reason to the passion of hockey fans, they support the TEAM there and villify the ones running it at the same time. I can only hope Atlanta one day supports it's team(s) with that kind of enthusiasm.
August 4th, 2010
8:07 am
Hey folks, just be happy this isn't our team-
August 4th, 2010
8:14 am
AND Kennedy had that HORRIBLE turnover in his own zone that lead to a game winner this playoff season. I can see the team thinking it bad business for someone who let this happen asking for a raise. I honestly think these guys are overpaid anyway, as are all pro atheletes, but that is another story altogether.
August 4th, 2010
8:26 am
Buffalo's case of RDD is a lot worse than the Thrashers. They sell out almost every game and get a few thousand in the plaza outside the arena watching on the big screen. Quinn was a bust his first time around the Sabres and he has not improved.
Gotta give ASG a little bit of credit for bringing Dudley in.
August 4th, 2010
8:37 am
none of that article is news. they have always done things on the CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP there, getting the most out of it. I thought the most relavent part of it, in regards to the Thrashers, is the money they say was "wasted" on Max.
I know there are a lot of people here saying sign him, I am not one though. Don't panic and sign someone just to sign someone. Wait, be patient, and find someone who is going to fit into what Duds is trying to make this team into……a tough, solid, hungry group who will be no fun to play against. Hard hitting, forechecking hockey is exciting to watch, and if this team can play that way, that play will lead to more turnovers and scoring chances. I won't mind watching a hard working group lose games if they play with some pride. I look back at that DREADFUL Caps game last year and watching the pathetic effort put out by the whole team, my memory of that game from the 7th row was Evander Kane, a rookie, coming into the corner late in the 3rd period and throwing a solid check and following it up with another one. He did that a lot last year and the reason it stuck out to me at that time was he didn't give up. There were plenty of "veterans" who were out there coasting but Kane seemed to take it personally, and threw several good checks that game even though it was obvious the team was not there to play. That type of game cannot be exceptable, not to the fans, players, coaches, management, or owners. I think Duds has put in place a group who will not do that……not without there being repercussions anyway.

Home Office in a Shed by BillyOh
This standard-looking shed is only about 9 x 7 feet, but it's large enough to house a desk with double screens, a generously sized cabinet, and a task chair—everything you need for a functional home office...
What drew us to this tiny structure was the very basic way in which it's designed and constructed. Called the Woodman Log Cabin, this shed isn't available in the US. It's made by British manufacturer BillyOh, but it looks a lot like the garden sheds we see at places like Home Depot and Lowe's.
A couple of nice features that you don't often see in standard sheds are the veranda and the tilt-out windows, but these are things that wouldn't be too hard to make yourself or hire a contractor to do for you. The design, with its window boxes, built-in desk, and simple storage, seems very accessible. If you own a backyard and you're thinking about setting up a room of your own, this is an inspiring example.

Lovely design, but these are not photographs-- they're renderings. It seems this does not (yet) exist in reality, much like Megatron or Gollum.

When you're ready to do some of the most exciting fishing of your life, come out shark fishing with us. We go out on five hour shark fishing trips that don't disappoint! We can take small groups out on our sport fishing boats. There are black tip, lemon, hammerhead, and tiger shark in the waters off the coastal Carolinas. The world record tiger shark was caught out the Hurricane Fleet's back door on Cherry Grove Beach. Who knows, the next record could be set by YOU!
There are some basic things you should know about shark fishing before you ever go out. For one is that these fish are really big. That's a big part of what makes them so thrilling to catch. Another is that these big fish can put on a real show for you once you get them on your line. The excitement you'll experience will be phenomenal!
Heavier tackle is required to fish for big sharks. They actually make rods and reels specifically for catching shark and tuna. Many anglers use Penn International Reels with anywhere from 30 to 50 pound test.
Tempting them to you
A key ingredient to catching sharks is the chum slick. This gets the interest of the sharks in the area and brings them in close to the boat. There are two basic types of chum that are used for catching sharks. There is bunker chum that is ground up bunker. It's oily and produces a slick on top of the water that is quite effective in bringing in shark. Another type is mackerel or blue fish chum. Ground up fish produces the same effect as bunker chum. Some fishermen use buckets while others use bags. The end result is the same. So long as the chum can adequately leak out of the container that it's in, it will work for you.
What gear to use
Each fisherman has their own preference for what they use as bait. Whole, live bluefish or mackerel works well for many. Filets of mackerel, tuna or bluefish also work for many. It's always a good idea to use different bait on each rig. Use a heavy leader that is 10-15 feet in length — 100 lb. monofilament, wire leaders or pre-rigged leaders will all work. The usual hook size is 6/0 to 10/0.
Improving your chances
Be sure to float your baits at different depths. Many fishermen prefer pieces of Styrofoam or balloons to use as floats. Send out one line to about 50 yards from the boat and another to 75 yards. Keep a third one in close to the boat for the sharks that come directly to your chum bucket.
It's all about technique
Let your boat drift along while keeping the drag off your reel. Anglers come from one of two schools of thought – Try to set immediately set the hook (and do it 3-4 times) or let him eat the bait for a bit and then set the hook. It's all a matter of timing and it's anyone's guess what will work best on any given shark.
Getting you there
At Hurricane Fleet Fishing Charters we'll take you to where we've had successful shark fishing in the past and where we know the shark to be when we're on the water. Once we're in the vicinity it's up to you (with our tips and suggestions, of course) to catch that trophy shark suitable for mounting. Get ready for some of the best fishing of your life!

OAKLAND The left ankle the good ankle is the one bothering Stephen Curry this time. But that's a relief. Anything but the right ankle is a relief.
In his four seasons with the Warriors, Curry has become an expert on the anatomy of the ankle. He has tweaked, aggravated and sprained his ankle, requiring multiple surgeries, painful rehabilitation and a search for the softest boot in town. After landing awkwardly in the Game 2 victory that evened Golden State's Western Conference opening-round series against the Denver Nuggets, he suffered a few troubling flashbacks and felt the familiar, if fleeting, fear.
"I wouldn't be able to play right now," he said Wednesday before watching practice. "It acted up more than I expected after the game. Maybe I'll be a little limited, but it's responding pretty quickly, so I'm not worried right now."
Heat, ice, rest, stimulation. Curry is so eager to make his home-court playoff debut tonight, so aware of his importance to his injury-depleted team, he would consider closing his eyes and submitting to a painkilling injection.
The irony alone is enough to make him wince. After missing large chunks of his previous two seasons because of ankle woes, Curry missed only four regular-season games and said his right foot felt better than at any time since his rookie year, when his second-half development almost nudged him past Tyreke Evans for the Rookie of the Year award.
Curry's emergence reinforces the uncertain nature of the draft. The brightest basketball minds can rely on analytics, interviews, game film, psychological exams and the old-school "eyeball" test, but the mistakes ultimately are revealed. In the point guard-rich 2009 NBA draft, Evans (fourth), Ricky Rubio (fifth) and Jonny Flynn (sixth) were selected ahead of Curry (seventh), who was followed by All-Star Jrue Holiday (17th), Ty Lawson (18th), Jeff Teague (19th), Darren Collison (21th) and Toney Douglas (29th).
Asked what he recalled about his audition in Sacramento against Evans, Flynn and Patty Mills, Curry laughed. He remembers Tyreke dominating with his one-on-one skills, and exploiting him with a wicked crossover and driving layup. But he also remembers disappointment because the predraft protocol doesn't allow for fullcourt scrimmaging, preventing Curry from displaying his passing and floor leadership.
The shooting was there that day, though. The shooting has always been there except for a two-month stretch in high school when his father, Dell, one of the league's premier deep shooters in his day, restructured his son's mechanics against taller, quicker opponents.
The younger Curry has become a master at creating separation from his defender with a full complement of escape dribbles, head and ball fakes and sharply angled bank shots. He torments defenders with step-back jumpers, high-arching pull-up 22-footers and running one-handers, often released while he is off-balance, at times even appearing out of control. And though he can be a little loose with his dribble, he has excellent court vision and has always been a willing and capable passer.
"Steph is more than a shooter," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "He can make plays, run pick and rolls, lead our team. For me, the only question has ever been his health, and when he's healthy, he's a tremendous player."
With his ankles finally cooperating, Curry set an NBA season record with 272 three-pointers. He also finished third in the league in three-point percentage and tied for second in free-throw percentage, thrusting himself into this conversation: Is he in a league with the greatest shooters of the modern era, including Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Dale Ellis, Larry Bird, Mark Price, Steve Nash, Peja Stojakovic and the late Drazen Petrovic?
Jackson answers with a forceful nod. TNT analysts Steve Kerr and Kenny Smith are in the same camp, as is former Warriors coach Don Nelson, who was obsessed with drafting Curry in 2009.
"He's almost too good to be true," Nelson said from his home on Maui. "A lot of guys can shoot but can't get their shots off. Steph has this tremendous ability to score, even when he's doubled and tripled, partly because he has the ballhandling skills to get himself free. I figured it would take him a year or two to become comfortable as a point guard, which at his size (6-foot-3), he needs to be. And I think before it's over, he's going to be put up there with the best of them."

Essay on The Struggles in Nursing School
You cannot just wish in a bedtime prayer that tomorrow you will wake up a registered nurse. That's not how it is. Like most of our dreams in life, nursing school poses many hurdles and many difficulties. To be a fully licensed nurse, you have to go through four to five years of rigorous school work and internship, balancing your social life, academic requirements and exhausting field rotations. Yes, the way to being a full pledged nurse is never easy.
One of the most frustrating hardships of a student nurse is the volume of at least 2-inch books that they have to read and understand cover-to-cover. Imagine reading a book of 3000+ pages for medical-surgical nursing, with one more volume in your backpack, and another 2000+ pages of a psychiatric nursing book waiting to be explored. That sounds freaky right? That's the time you would have wished that you should just have taken an art course. This alone makes some student nurses fail even just in their first semester. They feel like the volumes of knowledge forced into their minds are just unbearable.
Another helplessly tiring part of being a student nurse is the seemingly inhumane distribution of field rotations which clash with their academic subjects. There are times when a group of students are assigned a Monday to Wednesday night shift and is expected to report for a term exam on Thursday at seven in the morning. So even with the lack of sleep, students have no choice but to report to their examination rooms and try their bests to answer those questions even with their still foggy minds. In these situations, good time management skills are very crucial. Student nurses should learn to adapt well with this kind of orientation for they will face more of these when they get the real job.
Sometimes, it's quite frustrating for student nurses to be assigned to a clinical instructor who seems to carry the weight of the world with her, and work with unapproachable staff nurses in their areas of assignment. These attitudes hinder the communication between the students and their supposed to be mentors, thus, intervening with the student's learning process.
These are just some of the many hurdles that a student faces in nursing school. However, these should not be treated as such, but as challenges to further the desire of a student to learn and finish her course. The students should focus on the fruits of their labor, the beauty of what nurses can do for humankind.

NEW YORK - Forget the intrigue at the top of the draft. The NFL invited a half-dozen players to the draft Saturday, and they went in the first six picks.Then things went a bit crazy. From Michigan tackle Jake Long, who already had signed with the Miami Dolphins, to defensive end/linebacker Vernon Gholston going sixth to the New York Jets, there was an air of predictability to the proceedings. Unlike last year, when Notre Dame's Brady Quinn had to wait hours to be chosen, the players on-hand hit the Radio City Music Hall stage quickly. 'It's great to see the green room empty,' said Virginia defensive end Chris Long, who went second to St. Louis. 'It's a blessing to be here, they only ask six guys to come,' Gholston added. 'Funny how it worked out, teams made good selections.' After St. Louis took the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Howie Long, Matt Ryan of Boston College, who could solve the quarterback problems in Atlanta, went to the Falcons. Following a long-standing tradition, Oakland went for the gamebreaker in Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, prompting the fans to boo loudly. Many wanted the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up to fall to the New York Jets at No. 6. All-American defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey of national champion LSU was taken fifth overall by the Chiefs. Dorsey patted his heart as he held up a No. 1 Chiefs red jersey that was so small he, frankly, could never fit into it. The Jets wound up with Gholston of Ohio State, who must now learn to play in the 3-4 alignment the team prefers. 'I'm looking forward to going up against Jake Long twice a year,' he said of what will be a revival of their Big Ten rivalry. At the seventh overall spot, the bartering began. Eight of the next 15 picks were involved in trades. New Orleans moved up to No. 7 to get defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis of Southern California, who was recruited to the school by the Saints' new defensive line coach, Ed Orgeron. New Orleans gave up the No. 10 overall spot to New England, and its third-round slot, and got a fifth-rounder along with the chance to take Ellis. Then Jacksonville moved up from 26th overall to eighth, where it grabbed Florida DE Derrick Harvey. The Jaguars gave the Ravens four picks to get to that spot. Everything moved at a good pace after the NFL cut the first round from 15 minutes per pick to 10. The first round took 3 hours, 30 minutes, a significant improvement over the five-hour marathons of previous years. The Dolphins used only a few seconds to hand in their card. The Rams and Falcons didn't take much longer, but the Raiders used almost their entire time, as did Kansas City. Jake Long became the first top overall pick from Michigan since Tom Harmon in 1941. He was accompanied by several family members onstage as he donned a Dolphins hat. SideBar: Top picks The top 10 selections in the 2008 NFL draft: 1. Miami, Jake Long, OT, Michigan 2. St. Louis, Chris Long, DE, Virginia 3. Atlanta, Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College 4. Oakland, Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas 5. Kansas City, Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU 6. New York Jets, Vernon Gholston, LB, Ohio State 7. New Orleans (from San Francisco though New England), Sedrick Ellis, DT, Southern California 8. Jacksonville (from Baltimore), Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida 9. Cincinnati, Keith Rivers, LB, Southern California 10. New England (from New Orleans), Jerod Mayo, LB, Tennessee

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Corey Bernard Moss, 19, of Fort Bliss was arraigned in Judge Gonzalo Garcia's Court Thursday morning on the charge of Burglary of a Habitation with Intent to Commit a Felony.
Court records indicate that Moss was indicted on January 22, 2014. In the indictment, Moss is accused of burglarizing Poole's home with the intent to commit felony aggravated assault.
Moss' attorney Gary Weiser told NewsChannel 9 that the felony charge carries the same potential sentence as an attempted capital murder charge.
Moss is accused of allegedly stabbing pregnant Army wife Rachel Poole in her home at 4949 Wichita on October 30, 2013.
Poole was allegedly stabbed on her face and body and sustained multiple fractures as a result of the attack on on her. Poole was nine months pregnant at the time of the attack and later delivered a healthy baby girl.
The original arrest affidavit indicated that Moss owed Poole money for car repairs, and he allegedly admitted to attacking her over a dispute regarding the payment of the money.
Moss pleaded not guilty to the felony charge and is expected to go to trial on September 5, 2014.

The Perfect Hideout
posted 6 years ago
The cheese wedge takes up just a small portion of the ledge by the window in the shelter. The cats love lying inside and peeking out to see what's happening in the cat room, especially the cats that are a bit more shy and reserved. It is durable and being plastic makes it easy to sanitize. If we could find more, we'd buy them. It's a really nice product.
Pros: Nice size, fun for kitties to hide in
Cons: can't find them any more

Cats love the cheese!
posted 6 years ago
This wedge of cheese has fallen, been dropped and accidentally kicked. Unlike the rigid plastic that many crates have, this toy takes a few knocks with cracking or breaking. The surface is all plastic so it's easy to bleach and clean for shelters. All the cats love it and sometimes double up in there. They love to play with each other through the three openings. We just wish we could find more. We have never found anything else quite like it!!!!
Our cats say "Please make more!!"
Pros: Easy to clean. Durable. Cats just love it.
Cons: We can't find anymore like it!!!

Designers & Our Team
Chris Givan
Owner/Head Interior Designer
An eye for design at an early age, Chris recalls, "I have loved design for as long as I can remember. Not only interior design, but also fashion, automobile, and product design. Everything has its own unique design and that has always inspired me. I take that inspiration and apply it to my interiors." Chris believes "good design is timeless and does not go out of style." His unique sense of design and style keeps his clients returning over and over again.
After moving to New York City, Chris realized that he wanted to make a living doing what he was passionate about…creating spaces for people to enjoy.
He studied at the acclaimed New York School of Interior Design, which enabled him to connect the design dots of success. In 1998, Chris moved from the East Coast and began his interior design firm in Orange County, California. His trademark has become the juxtaposition of traditional and modern. Influenced by Italian and Mediterranean architecture, Chris incorporates wall finishes such as Venetian Plaster to provide depth and interest, as well as to add a touch of history. Chris's mixture of modern and old world style embraces fabrics with textures, prints and patterns. He uses furnishings that are simple and streamlined, without being trendy or cold. His use of neutrals and earth-toned color palettes provide a calm and peaceful space. Accent pillows, strategically positioned artwork and other unique accessories are used to add a splash of color to his interiors. Other crucial aspects of his signature design style include music playing softly in the background, aromatic candles burning, and extraordinary pieces of furniture. Chris styles a room to stimulate all of the senses: touch, sound, sight and smell.
Bringing to life the client's personal style requires not only a creative process, but a series of critical steps. Chris recognizes that understanding his clients' needs and function of their space must remain his top priority from start to finish. He conducts in-depth interviews to interpret the goals and aspirations of his clients and then creates concept boards and floor plans to assist them with the visualization of his design ideas.

"I used this for my moms 70th birthday invitations. The color of the cards was more vibrant than on the screen and I was very happy with the quality. They all loved it!!"
"I love these cards and have received many compliments on them. The paper is heavy and has a lovely texture. The ink color is lush and appears exactly as it does on the website. The print quality is very high. The continuation of the flower design on the back put their rich look over the top. My rush order on 50 of these beautiful cards was delivered as promised. My only regret is that I did not order more. I wanted to send them to everyone!"
"Color true to picture. Card stock excellent. Had a little trouble with the website in terms of request for recipient address to be printed but called the company and they made everything right."
"There card is beautiful, great quality. My only complaint was how long it took to get, 1 1/2 weeks. I guess I was assuming I'd get the quick shipping I receive when ordering Christmas cards. Mary"
"When I first seen the invite on the site I just knew I had to have it. One minor problem that I did have was that from the computer it seemed bigger. When I received it, it was small but it still didn't matter because it was really cute! This invite is one that I think everyone should use."

The monastic expression constitutes the base and core of the whole community by its monastic origins.
We draw inspiration from the monastic tradition of the hermits, symbolized by St. Antony of the Desert, who sought to follow "God alone"; the cenobites, symbolized by St. Pachomius, who sought to live in the koinonia fellowship of seeking "God alone together"; the monks of St. Basil, who sought the more evangelical life of scripture; and the monks of St. Augustine, who sought the "monos" of being "one" and "united" according to Acts 2 and 4. Of course, the Rule of St. Benedict calls us to prefer nothing whatever to Christ, and our Franciscan base calls us to an evangelical life in imitation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Regarding personal imitation of Christ and apostolic ministry, we find primary inspiration from St. Francis. Regarding orderly community life in the integrated monastery, we find our greatest inspiration from the Rule of St. Benedict. Of course, the desert fathers and mothers who preceded them both are of great importance as an inspiration for our life.
The monastery is a school of the Lord's service. The brothers and sisters give themselves to God alone and are formed into true disciples of Jesus Christ through a more intense participation in the life of the church through monastic profession, the teaching of the Spiritual Father and Mother, and the communal life of our monastic family. We are an eschatological sign of things to come.
Click HERE to learn more about our Monastic Expressions: Celibate, Single and Family.
Candidates to the monastic expression must be in good health, physically, emotionally and spiritually, and be debt-free. If you believe that God is calling you to our monastic way of life, you should begin by reading the following books by our founder and general minister, John Michael Talbot: Simplicity and Universal Monk. You should also read Signatures: The Story of John Michael Talbot by Dan O'Neill. These books will give you an in-depth look at the vision and lifestyle of the Brothers and Sisters of Charity.
If after reading the books you feel attracted to our vision and lifestyle, please contact us at:
