You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"I am absolutley in love with these. They came out beautifully. My wedding is in the fall and these matched my theme so well. At the time I placed my order there was a mix up as to how the finish was to be on my order. Instead of arguing with me, WPD made the corrections and shipped it FEDEX to me straight away. The customer service, the desgins, the quality of products are all what make Wedding Paper Divas the perfect place to order from for the budget bride."
"The cards were absolutely gorgeous! My fiancée & I are having a fall wedding in a garden & this added just the right element I was looking for in my invitations."
"I personally did not add any images or additional text to the invite, and I left the colors the same as shown, because it was perfect the way it was. The paper is sturdy and looks great. I just put in the order for my wedding invitations and I am excited to see how they turn out! The free sample service is fantastic because then you get to feel the invite and make sure they don't look cheap :)"
"I was so impressed with how quickly I received my invitations and how beautiful they were! I have received so many compliments on my invitations from my wedding guests. Perfect for a spring or summer wedding! love, love, love!"

Domestic Violence Statistics for African American Women
As we celebrate Women's History month, and in light of the pending case of Marissa Alexander, I thought it would be useful to note some statistics on domestic violence and African American women.

The criticism of President Obama's response, or lack of one, to Putin's occupation of Ukraine is more or less about domestic politics or domestic collaborator classes (wagging the dog).

His Breath, Her DeathHer eyes,so pale yet patient,swarms of orca whales swim inside her irises,dancing along the sunlight in jewel tones,so rich with reflection,it's as though you are staring into the oceanif the ocean were emptiness,but when you look passed the beautyyou can see that she is broken,she is a ship wreck in the makingwith anchored hips and a drowning smile,but that's what she gets for falling too fastwhen everyone told her it wasn't safe to sail,the waters too rough, too cold, too heart breaking,it's too late now though,she is withered and writhing,intertwined with ribbons of seaweed,she has nothing left to give anymorebecause he stole her oxygen andtrapped it inside his own greedy lungs,so now as she dies,he breathes in her reapingand then the wind sweeps them up, down, and away.
I let the water take controlIt's been awhile since I've been underwater,so I drew myself a bathand let the water rush itself into the tublike blood to the brain,as it pooled into the fiberglass basinI felt the tides start to risewhile the pond I created began toencase every limb,my lips brushed against the waterin a liquidated kissand my blonde locks melted into the seaas if my name were Medusa andmy strands of hair were snakes,but my body dissolved into what it used to be,I became the water and the water became me.
And I will Always be the MoonWe have gotten so attached to these days and these months,but a deer doesn't know a Tuesday from a Thursdayand a caribou can't comprehend that it was born on a September afternoon,but they can understand this instant, this moment, this breath,only now, no longer the past, and only the future when they get there,there's a healthy lack of awareness in that,escaping the fear of death but thriving off the instinct to live,everything so primal and based off gut reactions,I guess you could say ignorance is bliss,but ignorance only actually applies when it comes to humanity,oh I would like a life like that,one that is organic, tangible, and ripe with bloody berries,one where carnal creatures run rampant,one where we rise from the dirt with muddy thighsbecause we were bred into these earthly bodiesto hold seconds in our palms like newborn children,and to throw our heads back and howl against the awareness that we are dying,for oh this skin is only our host,we deriv
The CatalystI have thoughtsbut I never think.Underestimation of your affection,of your jealousy,I, a breaching whale who breathed too deep.Like bubble wrapthe air pockets in my lungs are pop, pop, popping;I am nothing if not lonely air.My thoughtless mindso driven by my gullible heart,too quick to believe you could ever love meat least the way I love you,But is this love if I am bleeding?Your carnivore's touch,your narcotic smile;catalysts in my river of veins.
the story of a girl made of fire and of bloodThat red dress flowing at her ankles like blood,rippling against her river thin frame of fire,she is burning, burning so bloody,she sweats and she cries and she falls to the ground,but her eyes dance in the flickering flamesand her heart skips when his voice catches on her pastry flake flesh,his voice lingers there, rests, soul upon skin, sin upon sin,her body cooked tender.
who am ii. i am a shy shakespearean sonnet,silent like a silent, holy night;the only things that wander here aremalignant whisperers andstagnant sheep.ii. i am a wild withered wolf,swamp dusted fur withwrung out rack bone ribs anddeer never sounded sogood.iii. i am a childish carnivore's caress,made up of granite and rock andnothing truly exceptional,no nothing truly great.iv. i am a lovely lanky lullaby,sung by old-fashioned orca whalesand monsters fromunder the bed.v. i am a perishable paranormal pomegranate,succulent seeds to a rotting core,gutted and extinguished,to never be enjoyed again.vi. i am a sleek sanguine scar,from a memory of fourteen years ago today;to match the twelve stitches that held theskin in place.vii. i am a chilled clairvoyant cavern,filled with sweet vampire batsand nocturnal light,which means no real light at all.viii. i am an ancient arctic anchor,holding down a ship at sea;withering away with oars and humansand all things seaweed.ix
hey boy, I'm bleeding without youI guess you could say I've been infatuated with death,but I'm even more consumed by youin the deadliest way possible.
Tenderi ama taxidermy fawn,existing yet comatose,my soul flickers within a lantern,releasing a smoke with the scent ofpheromones and vanilla verbena, but your necromantic whisperslinger in my ears,so sweet and succulent as peaches,animalistic instinctsgive me breath,filling my lungs upon a full moon,oh i'd so like to take a bite of you,you and your jungle bred lips,tropical to taste,organic to kiss,jaguar, leopard spotscover your skinin patterns painted by the forest,then a low, throaty growlslips from your jaw,haunting me like a past mistake,but you are wild bambooand the sound of my heart beating,palpitating against soft winters,pulsing with the rhythm of summer,for some reason you suit mein all seasons,and like gravityyou hold medown,so no, i cannot escape you,for no one can bypassan autumnal equinoxor an eclipse of the sun,you only continue tokindle the flamesyou used my wooden ribs to makeand i truly lovethat searing sensation in my gut,
SimplicityYour handon mine,breathless,still as stones.
Exteriorsflashing lights and a tightly wound clock,a never-ending waterfall of mass-produced body partsand machinery with solar powered heartbeats,a digital anatomypunching holes in the night to let sunlight filter through,artificial stars locked into conveyor belt constellations.we could fall off the edge of the horizon tonight,it will only be tomorrow when we wake up attached to heart monitors,Houston, we are in coma.we can't change the shape of the air we swim throughif we refuse to breathe,so let's drink to the night and drink the night.we pull oxygen through spiderwebs of nerve endings and tin foil,to fill our disappointed lungs in a last ditch attempt to feel something.if we don't come back in one piece, or not at all,they'll chisel words like Stellar and Fearless on our headstones.but we were nothing special.we were only satellites on a forgotten wavelength.
Ink GravesLetterless words and pageless books-and ink blots on the flowers;Ghosts scratch their heads and tap their pens,all across the hours.Winds can howl and cease to be,by one twitch of my pen;I spoke of writing a poem tonight,and by dawn I've written ten.Emily sits aside nobody,the Raven, above, waits;Frost dances in a yellow wood,among the long lost dates.A tall, well spoken willow,looms over the grave;Protecting every dated word,and every thought they gave.I crumple another masterpiece,with thoughts I'd thought to save;and as it strikes the baset bottom,it rests in its ink grave.
Mendbreathe in, breathe out.a picture's worth a thousand woundsand there's galleries on our sleeves.blade in, bleed out.cutting out the imperfectionsbecause there's a crowd to please.but you're the only one who doesn't know you're beautiful,and these wounds are not the final word on who you are.we can grow new skin to hide these scars,rewrite these broken lyrics and dance to a different song.breathe in, breathe out.we're wearing this cycle thin and vice versa.we've all got demons in our yesterdays,so tear them out of the calendar pages.tomorrow is a new diary with your name on the flyleaf,let's cross our hearts and hope to live.
Once ComfortingWooden platforms housing the collective wordsOf authors past and present tense,From which I drew shelter in pubescent days,Back when escaping life was just a turn of the page,I would pass the time in naïve haze,Filling my mind with the white liesThat writers call device.I drank deep from this well of thoughts,Getting drunk on the heavy draughtsTaking in the pathos notionsFrom those that would describe a puddleWhen it's an oceanAnd, yet,They stuck in me,Those written hollow truths.Ideas like,Duty, Honor, Glory,Consumed my mindAnd in search of these,I left home to findLeaving behind those paper portalsTo gather dust in an empty room,Where there are none to exhumeSuch dangerous ideals.War taught me uncertainty,Where chaos moves too fast to seeAnd life is but a privilegeBestowed by a corpse's eyes,Oh, how I long for those comforting lies!
DreamsWhat wonders the imagination can bringWith opened ear and untamed eyeDreams that we shall toss and flingAnd float about towards the skyBy luminous light of thoughtDay and night will awaken newlyAnd become what you have soughtTo find your most distant ThuleNever letting go of that which we cherishThe spirit of innocence and truthWhy without it, what would we but perish?In the darkness of lost youth
Orange hourglassYour lips taste like apple pieand candle wax,softening under the heat of my fingersas you look at me with spice eyes,hands plucking at the guitar stringsthat line my backbone.We spend nights writing letterson decaying midribs;reminders that our skin will fadejust as quickly before winterand we'll be craving each other's embracewhen the moment is gone.I see frost and ink in your palmsand you call it solid emotionsbefore melting them across my ashen skin.We kiss under jack-o-lanternsbefore everyone replaces our romancewith mistletoe and ice.We're sand and curled vines,traveling on old maples,tasting the scents of Autumnon the tips of our tongue;death and pleads.We're the end of a season,the end of a two month story.
Untouched BooksDirty fingerprints crust the pagesOf the books of forgotten loreThat have laid here before all agesUntouched from before-Unconcerned with reason or rhyme,Longing for those finger-shaped prints,They have waited all this time,To be imprinted with darkened tintsBut all that meets them is the chilly air,And the quiet whispers of phantoms past;And still they wait with silent flair,To be marked with fingers again at last
The Intelligent Are So SadA cascade of words parade around,with thoughts of atoms and connotation.She is brilliant, they say,but she knows she is lost.Numbers are her companion,she understands their mean, average.Words can twist her brain,she loves the wonder they bring.She is intelligent, they say,but sometimes,she doesn't feel clever enough.Sometimes she feels clever too much.Excusez-moi, in perfect French,but nothing is gained by perfect word tense.She is clever, they say.But she is not clever the way they know.She sees things as they are,and she prefers her thoughts to the world.She knows she loves them more than they in return,and her friends will be there until they wont.Friends reassure her, you'll be okay,she puts a smile on her face.She loves them as much as any,even though there aren't many.They bring out the best in her,the happy girl,not swamped by words.The one who isn't drowning in formula.Test scores and numbers don't mark you smart,she knows this now,engraved in her
BloomIt's normal, you know.Bruises flower under skin like lilies in a gardenTears find their place just like water in the soilThey seep into the blackNurture seedlingsAnd hurt grows so green and natural.Pearl skin is supposed to go purpleIt's as right as the rain.So don't worry, don't fretI'm art, you know, cross-stitching on the wallAn ivory piano keyJust as I should beBecause battered things are beautiful.Feathers torn from silk pillowsAnd stick figures on balance beamsAren't as loved, nor as adored,Nor as beautiful as me.
NocturnalWrapped up tight by my own wings,I hang upside downwhile the blood rushes to my headinside my cobwebbed cocoon,Ultraviolet rays flicker against my eyelidsin colors I have never seen,yet maybe I have once before,I saw them the first time your skin brushed mine,a kaleidoscope of solar energymaking me blind enough to see the light,Your voice now echoing in a frequencyonly I can hear,it ricochets through my thin bat bones,lingering along my teethso I can taste the way you soundalong the backside of my cavity,But now you've been bittenbecause I have no control,my incisors sinking in to your handsome heartbecause you are ripened fruitin the dead of Winterand I am a parasitein Summer's wake,If only the day ever met the nightmaybe we could meet again,but for now this must be enough,so I return to the shelter of my own wingsto protect myself from the sunand your own astrological luminosity.
IronmanHear me read itMy friends used to call William "Ironman" because the first time we kissed he got a nosebleed and the taste of his blood haunted me for a long time after it. We'd only been twelve years old and apparently the anxiety spiked his blood pressure to the point of combustion... I remember that when we were forced to take sex ed a few years later we were divided into separate classes for boys and girls, in case a diagram of an ovary was too risqué and we became animalistic and started clawing at each other in our seats, but nonetheless when our teacher Ms Jacobs had explained to us what an erection was in my mind all I could picture was the blood rushing to his nose and then the slash of cranberry across my blouse.With the idea planted in his mind it didn't take long for William's hands to start wandering, but the image persisted. Every time I thought about just letting it happen I wondered what would happen if he got too excite

I bought this pump for our Koi Pond. It is the best pump I have purchased as far as price, durability, and function. I have had it for two years and it has worked great. I will buy this pump again because of the price and most of all because it last for a long time. It does not slow down due to pond debri like other pumps I have purchased.

Not to be used with fish???

If this could be safely used in a fish pond it would be great but the manual states do not use in aquariums or with fish. It also states many times not to swim with the pump. Must be a known problem with leaking electricity in which case it should be taken off the shelf. The only purpose this pump would serve well would be a pond less water feature.

Amazing Pump
By Tracy
from Cincinnati, Ohio
Bought one of these 7 years ago and it finally gave out on me. I have a nice size pond with a huge filter and waterfall and this pump does a great job circulating the water through the filter and then down the waterfall at a great rate. I am just happy it is still available and I will be purchasing a new one tomorrow. Also never clogged up like previous filter pumps I have used.

Time Will Tell
By Lacy
from Lawton, Oklahoma
Purchased this days ago and added a water fall to a pond with an existing large external filter. My pumps which cost on average $50-60 only last at most a year. Some of my previous pumps don't even last 6 months. I also have to clean my pumps every few months along with the filters. This is a steal at $59.99. Puts out 3x times more water and my fish love it. I purchased a 2 year extended waranty so let it break. If it last 2 years that's one more year than expected. I have over 30 years experience and have never had a pump last more than a couple years. I have also used over at least 20 pumps of different brands and different sizes some of which cost over $200. Time will tell!!!
4 years and going strong yet
By sissy
from axton va
I bought this pump 4 years ago and it is still running strong I just wish it was more energy efficient .It pumps enough for 2 filters and extra yet for the waterfall .It is fish safe and I have koi and an 8 thousand gallon pond ,I have not had 1 problem with it yet
This Is A Great Pump
By Paul
from Santa Clarita, CA
Have had this running 24/7 for over two years. Better that more expensive pond pumps because it does not clog. I was cleaning other pumps monthly, because of amount of debris from trees, but this one does not clog. Does not look as well built as name brands when you take it out of the box, but it just flat out works. Besides that, it is cheaper than any comparable (GPM rating) pump. This is a winner.
By BOB
from BUFFALO,N.Y.
This pump works great. I bought pump for my KOI pond and have had no problems in the past year. Plan on getting another one.
Best Pump I ever bought
By Ben Venuti
from Scranton, Pa
I was skeptical when I bought this pump as to if it would be dependable and offer a consistent powerful flow. All my fears are gone as it is a tremendous asset to my pond. Don't hesitate to purchase one. You won't be dissappointed. I'm going to buy a back up, just in case anything ever happens to it.

I was always active throughout my life, either dancing or playing a sport. But, just like many women out there, I was never completely happy with my body. Especially my tummy. I always wanted a really small, tight waistline that touted the abs.
I was never consistent with working out. I tried over and over again. Going to different gyms, either places like Lifestyle Family Fitness or Shapes ... or that tiny "gym" in my apartment complex I used to live in.
And then I got introduced to Beachbody. It took a couple of tries to workout steady and make it a priority in my busy schedule, but I did it. I have been consistently working out since late 2009 and have seen amazing results since. My stomach is a lot flatter, my tighs trimmed and have lost weight and inches. I'm really happy with my current results, but still have work to do in order to reach my ultimate goal. But it's a journey and I'm enjoying the ride!

Your Toughest Baby Product Questions—Answered!
Do imported car seats sold in the US meet federal safety standards?
They do. "Any car seat that's available for purchase in the US must meet US federal motor vehicle safety standards, regardless of where it was made," says Sandy Sinclair, a highway safety specialist with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in Washington, DC.
If you order a car seat from a Canadian or other foreign website and have it shipped to the US, be sure to ask the retailer if the seat meets US federal safety standards, advises Sinclair. "If it doesn't, don't buy it."

On True Summer
This is absolutely wonderful. I relate to every single last line. It's beautifully written, and it makes me feel much better about being, like you, sort of a private, slothful, impoverished, imaginative person. I have to go to a family wedding this weekend, and now when all my relatives pointedly ask me if I've found work or what do I DO all day, I will have to tell them I am very hard at work imagining other worlds and creatures and pouring time down the drain like I have an unlimited supply, like I'm Zeus.
On How to Live With Your Mother When You're 37, Childless and Unemployed
I'm sorry the girls at the Meetup were bitches but would you really want to be friends with a bunch of people who have opinions about soap anyway? Hi I also live in portland, oregon and I buy the soap that is cheapest and I'm not a bitch. Why don't you come over and drink on my patio and give your mother some "me" time.

Gryphon Hall said...
Death Knights start at lvl 55 because there's just no lore to explain a lvl 1 Death Knight. I mean, really... you really think that Death Knight trainers in major cities would be believable? Starting them at lvl 55 is not only fair but believable.
And everyone starts at lvl 70 with epic gear in tournament realms because the focus of the game there is fighting skill and not gear. Starting them all at lvl 70 with similar gear keeps things fair, so no one can complain about "being outgeared".
When a person bots in an environment where accomplishments should be earned, it becomes unfair.

Dealing With Women's Negative Traits
Page 2 of 3She's extremely jealous
Women are obsessively insecure. This is especially true when it comes to men, because females know exactly how other females operate and they know from experience how easy it is to seduce men with pouty lips and nice breasts (this is how your girlfriend got you, after all). So they're constantly vigilant about protecting their territory, eternally imagining that some woman with a bigger chest will turn your head and lure you away.
A jealous woman will just assume that you're lusting after other women, even when you're not. She'll spend enormous energy testing you. If you go out with your friends for a beer, she "knows" that you're really meeting a woman (and she might even "accidentally" show up to check up on you). If you're late coming home, it's because you're having an affair. If you have platonic female friends, you just have to be sleeping with them.
How to deal with it: Jealous women can make your life miserable, so you have to take charge of the situation as soon as it rears its ugly head. When your woman's eyes glow green, tell her to grow up and knock it off. Ask her if she finds certain guys attractive, and if she's thinking of sleeping with them. Tell her not to push these same thoughts onto you.
Another idea is to invite her to come along with you when you meet your buddies. Have her make friends with your female pals. If these tactics don't work, this would be the time to tell her that if she can't learn to trust you, then you'll have to leave.
She's moody
Just like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, women are unpredictable. That's all there is to it. One minute they're kissing you and telling you how happy they are, and the next they're crying about some remark they remember you making a year ago (about which you have no recollection whatsoever). The female brain is driven by hormones — women think with their emotions. Maybe it all makes sense to them, but their irrational behavior just leaves men frustrated, bewildered and annoyed.
Granted, women have a monthly cycle which sends them spinning up to dizzying heights and plummeting to abysmal lows, but PMS can't be an excuse for all outright rude or bizarre behavior — it's one thing to be cranky and quite another to be a raving bitch or psychotic.
How to deal with it: While you certainly can't change Mother Nature, it's still fair to ask your woman to recognize and adjust her behavior — she may not be aware of how irrational or unpleasant she becomes. Don't provoke her by bringing up the fact that she forgot to pick up the groceries, for example.
Let it pass and go for a walk. There's nothing wrong with absenting yourself if she's really experiencing emotional turmoil. If she's having personal problems, simply listen. Don't provide any advice if she doesn't want it, and don't try to find a solution.
But never, ever tolerate outright abuse. There's no excuse for blaming, venting and screaming.
She flirts with everyone and worse yet, she never leaves you alone...

But after learning how valuable he is to the Cubs during his two-month stint on the disabled list, Ramirez may want to start renegotiating now.
"Nobody is hitting right now," he said. "We're pitching real well, but we're not scoring runs. I'm sure when I went down it was going to affect us a little bit, but we've still got guys capable of doing better than what we're doing right now."
The Cubs are 2-7 on the road trip and gasping for air.
Will Ramirez's return Monday get the Cubs back on track?
"I don't think 'Rami' is going to hit a three-run bomb with nobody on," Geovany Soto said. "Rami is a huge RBI guy for us, but if we're not on base, he really can't do much."
The Cubs wasted another strong starting performance on Tuesday, registering only six hits off Russ Ohlendorf (7-6) and two relievers. Ted Lilly allowed two earned runs on eight hits over seven innings but hasn't notched a win since June 9.
"I think we've forgotten how to hit," manager Lou Piniella said. "I think that's the problem, especially with men on base."
The Cubs also suffered from concentration lapses by Soto and Lilly. Soto tried to go from first to third on a single to left field in the seventh and was easily thrown out.
"Really bad play," Soto said.
Piniella wholeheartedly agreed.
"Terrible baserunning mistake," he said. "Soto had stopped for a second. Maybe he was trying to deke him. Not a good play. Not good baserunning."
Lilly muffed an easy throw from Soto to allow Freddy Sanchez to score from second on a wild pitch after a strikeout that would've ended the fourth.
"Should've caught it," Lilly conceded. "For some reason, I just didn't see it very well."
Trailing 3-0 in the eighth, the Cubs had runners on second and third with no outs. But Alfonso Soriano struck out, and Piniella let Kosuke Fukudome bat against Pirates left-hander John Grabow. After another strikeout, Derrek Lee grounded out to end the threat. Piniella said he would've pinch-hit Reed Johnson for Fukudome, but Johnson is on the DL, too.
"The way we are put together, we need all the pieces," Piniella said.
The Cubs are 20-24 since Ramirez went on the disabled list, and the $140 million payroll is now filled with low-salaried players who are also under intense pressure to produce.
Tuesday's lineup featured five players from the farm system -- Soto, Jake Fox, Micah Hoffpauir, Mike Fontenot and Ryan Theriot -- with Andres Blanco and Koyie Hill on the bench.

Portland Head Light, from a tourist's perspective. I thought i would do something unique the last time I was here because there is no way to possibly top some of the gorgeous photos of America's most photographed lighthouse that some of my Flickr contacts have taken.
I rather like this approach. I've seen probably every single angle of this light house except maybe directly above it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I absolutely love these wrap around labels. They are one of a kind and I was able to customize them to my exact wants. Instead of saying 'the marriage of' I was able to have them changed to say 'save the date'. I was also able to have them printed in a charcoal grey to match my wedding colors. I just love them!"
"Great color and text. A bit larger than I was imaging (they are about 2 in wide and 1 in tall), so I am going to use them on the back of the small envelopes for my save the dates. But overall I am very happy with them!"
"Thought it would be a nice added touch for the envelope. I cut the labels and used the part with the return address on the front of envelope and the other part on the back flap of the envelope. Will use this on my invitations."
"This address label worked perfectly with the wedding invites that I ordered from Wedding Paper Divas. These labels are crisp and clean and also fun and elegant."
"We used these return addresses on our save-the-dates. The sticker is larger than I expected, I used it on the back of the envelope instead of the top left corner. It made our basic white envelopes look so much more fun."

The red-hot Nashville Predators visited the Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night and ran into a hard-checking Flyers team that wouldn't budge an inch. The Flyers played a feisty match and scored in all situations to beat the visitors, 4-1.
The Predators have been on fire of late, winning their last five games, and 10 of their last 11 before running into the Flyers, and "run into" is the key phrase.
The Flyers piled on the hits and the goal-mouth scrums, and out-hit the visitors 30-19 by games' end. It wasn't just in the goal-mouth, though. The Flyers tried to body the opposition at every opportunity, in front, in the corners, at open ice, and anywhere else they could get a shoulder into a Predator. The refs let the players play for the most part, even with the eleven total minor penalties that were called. They could have called a lot more.
Flyers coach Peter Laviolette answered questions concerning the hitting and said he'd emphasized getting the physical game going for this match-up. He also spoke about his players keeping their feet moving, and when both of those things happen, good things follow.
Going into this game, the Flyers led the NHL in minor penalties, with 235 in 49 games, an average of 4.79 per game. The Predators, on the other hand, had only 175 in 51 games, for an average of 3.40 minors per game.
The power play of the Predators was something that Laviolette wanted to neutralize, and after two scary first period penalty kills, the Predators second-ranked power play unit seemed out of sync by the second frame. Their passes weren't crisp, and they weren't getting pucks through, even from their dynamic duo on defense — All-Stars Shea Weber and Ryan Suter.
The Flyers were even able to score a short-handed goal against the Preds in the second period. Rookie and Calder Trophy hopeful Matt Read poke-checked defenseman Kevin Klein, and skated the puck the length of the ice to fire a laser five-hole against Predators' goaltender Anders Lindback to make it 2-0.
After an up-tempo second period that saw the Flyers outshoot the Preds 11-4, the visitors saw some life in the third period from a goal by Suter when the defense blew its coverage, and allowed the Preds defenseman to fire the puck into the open net. But minutes later, with Jared Smithson in the box on an interference penalty, the Flyers reclaimed their two-goal lead on a great power play goal from Wayne Simmonds, his second goal on the night, that sucked the life out of the Preds.
With less than two minutes remaining and the Preds' goaltender pulled, Jaromir Jagr passed the puck to linemate Claude Giroux, who deposited it into the empty net for his first goal in 12 games to make it 4-1. That would be the final score.
There was a lot of positives for the Flyers on the night, but one in particular was that netminder Ilya Bryzgalov has now played two straight strong games between the pipes.
On Tuesday night, against the Jets, he stopped 23-of-24 shots in an effort that would result in a shoot-out loss, but the loss couldn't be blamed on the Russian goaltender. Again, against the Preds he allowed only one goal on 27 shots, and had a number of big testers on his way to a convincing win, including keeping his team in the first period after being out-shot 12-6.
Bryzgalov failed to clinch the shutout, but it was a great stepping stone towards silencing his critics. Laviolette commented on how his netminder used the All Star break to gather himself and get his game back together. He's noticed a newfound focus in practice as well. The Flyers hope this will be the turning point in Bryzgalov's season.
The Flyers are now three points back from the first-place Rangers, and they're back at it Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils.
The Flyers are getting players back from injury now, including Jagr and defenseman Erik Gustafsson, who was a healthy scratch against the Preds. But one thing on everyone's mind is, will the Flyers trade for a tough defenseman to eat up the minutes captain Chris Pronger used to play before he was shelved for the season, or is the price too high for a possible rental in a season like this?
The truth is, the Flyers have been dressing seven, eight, nine rookies every night, placing each of them in critical situations. Two in particular have been Marc-Andre Bourdon and Gustafsson, and each has played strong when needed. It's too much to ask that the Flyers give up a possible future star for a rental defenseman that may only wear a Flyers jersey for 30-plus games down the stretch.
The Flyers would do better to put their money to use in the offseason and secure a top defenseman out of free agency. Let the rookies have this season.

In preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament games in the autumn Latvian national football team played a friendly match against "EURO 2012" participants and one of the hosts Poland on Tuesday, May 22 in the southern Austrian city of Klagenfurt. The only goal in this match was scored on the 82th minute by Poland striker Artur Sobiech.
Latvian national team head coach Aleksandrs Starkovs called 21 players for this match. Significantly in this game in the Latvian national team debuted at once three players - goalkeeper Pāvels Doroševs (in the starting lineup), midfielder Alans Sineļnikovs and forward Vladimirs Kamešs (both came as a substitutes).
Two leaders of main Latvian team lineup - goalkeeper Andris Vaņins and forward Māris Verpakovskis were not able to participate in this match, therefore Aleksandrs Starkovs decided to provide an opportunity for mentioned Pāvels Doroševs and other players. Otherwise, best Latvian players were participating in this kick-off - second official friendly match for Latvian team in year 2012.
22.05.2012., 21:45, Klagenfurt, Austria, "Wörtherseestadion"POLAND - LATVIA 1:0Match report: http://www.lff.lv/lv/aizlase/fixtures/2012/friendly/poland-latvia/ Goal: 82.min Artur SobiechYellow cards: 78.min Adam Matuschyk – 45.min Oļegs Laizāns, 70.min Deniss IvanovsLATVIA lineup: 1 Pāvels Doroševs* (GK), 13 Kaspars Gorkšs (C), 3 Oskars Kļava, 5 Oļegs Laizāns (87.min 20 Alans Sineļnikovs*), 6 Deniss Ivanovs, 7 Aleksandrs Fertovs, 8 Aleksandrs Cauņa, 9 Aleksejs Višņakovs (73.min 14 Andrejs Perepļotkins), 10 Ritvars Rugins, 11 Ivans Lukjanovs (73.min 18 Vladimirs Kamešs*), 16 Artjoms Rudņevs (78.min 17 Edgars Gauračs).Head coach – Aleksandrs Starkovs*debut for Latvian national team
Referee: Harald LECHNER (Austrija) Asistants: Alain Hoxha, Richard Hübler (Austrija) Fourth referee: Rene Eisner (Austrija)
Head coach Aleksandrs Starkovs commentary after the game:
"Despite the loss 0:1, I think our game was not bad today. As a coach I saw that the team was militant, energetic, who was not of authorities. While not playing against the strongest Polish opposition, our opponent has skilled players who play in good European clubs. From our players I will definitely underline Aleksandrs Cauņa, Ritvars Rugins, Oļegs Laizāns, Aleksandrs Fertovs game today - these players, who did not played in their clubs for a recent month, in this match showed itself at its best.
Artjoms Rudņevs, Ritvars Rugins, Ivans Lukjanovs and Aleksejs Višņakovs also played quite active. I liked the players' energy for both defense and attack. I think the sporting success should be on our side, we were able to take the lead, and the result might have been different.
Goalkeeper Pāvels Doroševs had a debut for the "A" national team in the starting lineup today. Before this match our coaching staff had a lot of reflection and discussion on who should take a place in the goal. By choosing Doroševs, we see that the decision was right. He coped with the psychological pressure. In the first half two or three times he fought off dangerous shots, but the second half goal was an unfortunate episode by our central defenders.
For both substitute debutants it was clearly a major event today. Will it be a great event for the whole Latvian national team – we will see it in the future. I hope that Alans Sineļnikovs and Vladimirs Kamešs will perceive as an advance. It is important these players had a necessary international experience by playing in this match that will be useful for them in the upcoming Baltic Cup tournament. "
Next tournament for Latvian national football team will be held in June when the traditional Baltic Cup tournament will take place in Estonia. Semifinal games - Latvia will meet neighbors Lithuania on June 01 in Võru City Stadium, while Estonia take on Finland Tartu Tamme Stadium. Baltic Cup final and match for the 3rd place is scheduled on June 03th.
Latvian national football team played it's first official friendly match this year on February 29th in Turkish resort Antalya against Kazakhstan. Despite playing more than 70 minutes one man down, Aleksandrs Starkovs side fought a goalless draw 0:0.

Childhood Memories: What Was Your After-School Snack?
Can you believe there was a time when our work day was over at 3:00? When we got to go home, have a snack, and then...play?! Boy, those were some good times. What did you usually have for an afternoon snack back then?
We were big fans of popcorn in my house. And back in the '80's, that meant microwave popcorn. My brother and I felt so grownup that we could put the bag in the microwave and make this snack for ourselves. We particularly liked the kind that came with the little package of neon-orange powdered cheese to shake over the top of the popped corn. It makes me shudder to think of that now, but we couldn't get enough of it back then!
I also remember a lot of juice packs and packaged cereal bars. This is so funny to me because the rest of the day, packaged food was completely verboten in our house. Our mom must have thought that after-school snack merited a little treat. Or more likely, she knew that if she gave us a treat now, we'd be more likely to eat our peas and carrots later.
What was snack time in your house? Does it look anything like snack time does now for your kids?

raisin bread, crackers with PB, chips-- just foods we refrain from eating as much as possible now that we are older LOL
Bowl(s) of cereal. Those things were bottomless. And to think that I now measure mine out. Sigh......
One of my faves that I still eat is a banana with peanut butter and chocolate chips on top.
I also ate carrots and cheese with ketchup. My mom would buy the long carrots with the stems off the end so I could eat them like Bugs Bunny.
And occasionally "quesadillas" which were just tortillas with cheese inside from the microwave.
Apples and peanut butter.
Or "snack" cereal (my mom never let us eat the sweet stuff for breakfast).
I used to come home and make chocolate milkshakes. Chocolate Icecream, milk, and a blender. I'm not longer swimming 3 hours a day, so my daily milkshakes days are long gone. But man, they could make you happy.
Top Ramen. Daily. I shudder at the thought now...
I remember when... unforgivably, kids today have so much homework that their day does not end at 3:00, like ours did.
But snack wise, I used to come home and make a grilled cheese sandwich....yummmmm
This is going to sound VILE, but when I was 11, I was totally into white Wonder bread spread with yellow mustard and mayo. That's it! What was I thinking??
chips and salsa. Specifically Sams Club monster size bag of discount chips and gallon jug of salsa. Guess mom knew how much i liked it!
No snacks? Between meals snacking was discouraged.
I never really had a real after school snack. I had to stay at our after school program til 6 every day to wait for my dad to pick me up. They used to give out juice and cookies everyday (even to middle schoolers) but I usually passed since it was pretty gross!
3:00? I wish. By the time the bus got to our stop it was after 4:30 so we just waited till dinner at 5. Ah, the joys of living out in the middle of nowhere. Junior year and my own car meant a snack before work though, usually a pack of crackers and a can of warm coke!
My sister and I would spread saran wrap over a bowl and put shredded cheese on top and melt it in the microwave. Then we would just eat the melted cheese with our fingers. It was quite good.
Hot pockets, for the love of god!
My mom kept the freezer stacked. Yikes, delicious though they were!
Usually cucumber spears with salt or open face grilled cheese with tomato. Still some of my favorite snacks!
I'm with laurainalameda and jrossi1217 - grilled cheese! I would make mine on a toasted english muffin and "grill" it in the toaster oven. Drink of choice was Nesquick.
I used to dip chunks of old cheddar into peanut butter. This was usually followed by spoons of nutella...I miss my teenage metabolism.
I don't remember the earlier years, though I was always in after school care or sports, so I didn't really have time at home before dinner (or even during dinner, since we often ate out). But in high school, I would microwave a bowl of frozen peas with a dash of water, salt, and pepper. They came out plump and sweet, and I ate them like candy. Yum. I make these a lot as a side dish for lunch or dinner now, and my kids like peas too.
Dill pickles and an ice cold glass of Sunny-D. All while watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Perfect!
A bowl of Cookie Crisp! Occasionally my brother and I could eat sugary cereal for a snack. Mostly it was ritz bits or some form of cracker w/something on it (PB&J, cheese...). Granola bars were good for high school between school and track practice. Or string cheese and piece of fruit.
my babysitter always made me grilled cheese sandwiches and/or spaghettios. i was never hungry for dinner and it pissed my mom off!
I'm embarrased to say my snack as a young teenager was to throw ripped up american cheese, bacon bits and ranch dressing into a mug and devour. Boy, have my food habits changed!
Little Debbie snacks!!! Cheap and yummy!
Chef Boyardee Ravioli. Loved it.
ricecakes with american cheese melted on top and raspberry ginger ale, this was the closest thing to junk food that my parents allowed in our house
My mom popped us popcorn on the stove, and let us have kool-aid, almost every day. She would spread a blanket on the living room floor so we could eat in there and watch TV (The end of Bozo, and then Little House on the Prairie- we only got one channel)! I remember she would use a muffin tin to hold the cups of kool-aid. We liked to dip our popcorn in the kool-aid. And I also make popcorn for my kids, almost every day. Except I make it in the microwave in a brown paper bag (they don't like it on the stove). I also spread a blanket in the living room, and we all eat it together!
Sauteed onions or mushrooms on toast was our go to snack after school. Junk food was only in the house if someone was having a party.
Veggies and dip, string cheese, or apples with peanut butter. I always envied kids who got cookies and fruit snacks!
Top ramen, sourdough bread dipped in cold milk (ugh), quesadillas (flour tortillas with sharp cheddar fried in butter in a cast iron pan), and Spaghetti Sandwiches. This was before the low carb craze (clearly). I would heat up left over spaghetti, toast bread and melt cheese on it, then fill the sourdough with spaghetti and wrap it in aluminum foil to hold it all together - like a burrito.
My grandmother would serve me stewed rhubarb with a left-over tea biscuit or bran muffin... and of course a big mug of tea (half milk). Miss you a bunch Nana!
Every day I came home and made a big pot of ramen soup. Totally loved it. Much like Greta, I shudder to think of it now!
At least I usually threw in a lot of sliced carrots.
Prepackaged foods were Hot Pockets and Tostino's personal pizzas. If I "cooking" myself, I'd heat grated sharp cheddar over leftover noodles in the microwave, stir an egg into Top Ramen, make Mexican pizzas (salsa on a tortilla with cheese on top), burrito with honey (just honey in a warmed tortilla). I forgot how good those tortillas were--I grew up in AZ, so we always had fresh ones. Now I buy sad whole wheat ones. We also always had a crate of oranges and apples from Costco because I loved them so much.
When I got to high school, I used to eat a Cesar salad everyday before heading to work. I'd buy those huge bags of romaine from Costco, and just add some bottled dressing and Parm.
bowls of strawberries sprinkled with sugar, french bread and butter, nutter butters, those striped cookies with a hole, leftovers from dinner the night before
Some cheesy wotsits and a chopped up apple or a cup of mashed banana and petit filous. So yummy!
A good Dutch afternoon treat EVERY afternoon after we got off the bus ... tea and a cookie. Not two cookies, ever. Always one. Often a speculaasje. Ahhh...
My mother was a teacher, so usually I would come home with her from school and wouldn't have a snack when I got home.
BUT - If my grandmother were visiting at my house, I would usually take the bus home, and I would come home to a bowl of orange juice with apple slices in it. She would make it a little bit before I came home so the OJ would soak into the apple. The best part was, obviously, the apple wouldn't brown at all - because no kid likes to eat brown apples. ^.^
Warm apple turnovers from our apple tree and tall glasses of milk were often waiting for us when we got home- we walked- about a mile each way (yes, and uphill both ways too!) :)
I would make nachos, hot pockets.
I would microwave marshmallows on paper plates and wait for them to cool and they taste like space ice cream!!
Two things: "Mayonaise sandwich", just Miracle Whip between two slices of white bread. And Ketchup. Just a bowl of ketchup with salt and pepper, eaten with a big spoon.

A smash hit in France, the film was also featured at the Tribeca Film Festival. Charming, funny and effortlessly cool, Alex (Duris) is a professional heartbreaker who for a fee can turn any husband, fiance or boyfriend into an ex.

It sparkles like champagne. It's not the good stuff, but it'll do the trick.
It has neither a cynic's conviction nor idealist's perseverance, and its ideas about what a woman wants seem cribbed from bad paperback fiction.
Chaumeil's comedy cum scenery -- mainly Monte Carlo -- gives the mercurial Romain Duris a chance to show his chops as an homme fatal.
Alas, it turns out to be just as bad as any routine French romantic comedy -- illogical, inconsistent and sloppily written, a charmless, tasteless, witless waste of time.
Yes, Heartbreaker is diverting, intermittently charming and occasionally funny, but it is also a jumble of jammed-together notions.
To fully appreciate the pleasures of Pascal Chaumeil's debut feature, Heartbreaker, it helps to know-and love-Dirty Dancing.
Like "How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days," only funnier, fresher. And French.
This is fun, frothy screwball stuff that won't demand much more cerebral participation than reading the subtitles. But, like Duris, it should charm your pants off.
A romantic comedy with a decidedly French twist ... There's bound to be a Hollywood remake, but you can be sure it won't have anything like the same �lan.
In being farcical instead of cute, Heartbreaker reveals itself as a welcome treat. It leaves you knowingly happy.
While it opens with a promising start, this quickly becomes a vacuous and formulaic romantic comedy.
A light and fluffy internationalised French rom-com, stripped of any quirkiness and with little heat generated between Vanessa Paradis and Roman Duris as romantic leads.
Heartbreaker really isn't terrible - there are a few moments of manic slapstick and the actors are charismatic even when their characters are boorish. But it's a movie for people who think movies are about wasting time.
Heartbreaker is a French attempt at an American romantic comedy. At this endeavor it is a total success - in the sense that it's as trite and contrived as most of our romcoms.
It ain't all "Breathless" and "Jules and Jim" in Paris, apparently; they can churn out glossy, formulaic entertainment like "Heartbreaker," too.
Manages to be such a pleasant little souffl� of a movie that it's hard not to like it on its own terms.
Hollywood should sit up and take notice of how to revitalize the romantic comedy with the fresh and original spin from director Pascal Chaumeil in his feature film debut.
"Heartbreaker" has some amusing moments and gorgeous settings (the Riviera), but it never achieves the smooth slickness director Pascal Chaumeil aims for.
What "Heartbreaker" lacks in suspense it makes up for in charm, especially when Duris and Paradis start re-enacting numbers from "Dirty Dancing."
Pascal Chaumeil's debut rom-com gets by with a little help from Romain Duris and the enduring beauty of Vanessa Paradis. He may not be so lucky next time.
Romain Duris (Paris) is ridiculously engaging... If only the film had trusted in its own premise, instead of succumbing to the blandness of the conventional.
Audience Reviews for Heartbreaker (L'Arnacoeur)
Super Reviewer
Stuck between screwball comedy that allows Alex to emerge unscathed from a high-speed collision with a car and honest romance that features Alex and Juliette staring longingly into the sunset, Heartbreaker is a mixed bag that is charming and funny when it's good and insufferably sophomoric when it's bad. Its understanding of relationships seems drawn from Cosmo articles as the film expects us to be that a few faked tears will destroy a relationship, but the stars, Romain Duris and Vanessa Paradis, are able to make badly written scenes plausible.
Overall, I liked Heartbreaker in spite of itself.
Super Reviewer
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Question: Ladies, this question goes out to you. What could a guy do that would make you fall in love with him? I know a hard question to answer. I have my thoughts but I am going to keep those to myself. However, I just watched a film called Heartbreaker (I know the title doesn't evoke much confidence in finding true love) and found that sometimes it's what we do that makes the guy fall in love with us first. When that happens, we allow the thought to be possible and then all bets are off. We fall and we fall hard!
Heartbreaker is a French film (L'arnacoeur). I know, not my typical movie genre, but I might have mentioned I am expanding my movie tastes. Plus, I am finding it easier to read subtitles and still see and enjoy the movie. There weren't any movies available at the time at the theatre yesterday that I wanted to see. I waited until the evening to check my Netflix Instant Play queue. Heartbreaker was on my list. It was recommended to me after I posted my last foreign film - Sarah's Key (a French film) so it was on my queue. I watched the preview - yes, I did - and I was intrigued. I remembered it was a comedy (and a romance) and I could really use a comedy these days so I hit PLAY.
So, here's the gist: Alex Lippi (played by Romain Duris) is a break-up artist. People hire him to find the doubt that is already there within a woman so she will break-up with her (usually deadbeat) boyfriend. His job is not to start dating or have them fall in love with him - just make them realize they are with the wrong person. The opening scene(s) showed dozens of women kissing this guy (break-up artist) who just happens to cry in front of them and tell them that they made him feel alive again. Voila! Break-up.
The rest of the film shows Alex and his team hired to break-up a relationship only 10 days before the wedding. Usually that is not enough time but they accept the challenge. Ok - no more details - you have to see it for yourselves. I will say once this part of the movie started I really enjoyed it. As I was watching this film (and reading) I discovered that I was smiling through a lot of it. Sometimes I was even giggling or doing whatever odd facial and hand movements I do when I can't believe I saw what I just saw. You know what I mean, right? Well, if not - just trust me there are some funny parts to Heartbreaker.
So, let's discuss the main actors: Romain Duris. This was my first movie of his but I have feeling it won't be my last. His performance was intriguing to say the least. Although I did not find him all that attractive he had a certain charm and sex-appeal. My focus sharpened whenever he was on screen - which was for the majority of this movie. When there were moments of tender thoughts I felt what he felt. There are only of few of those but he sucked me right in. On the flip-side - his comedic act was a treat to watch as well. Plus, there is one scene that I think those ladies who grew up in the 80's will enjoy - yes, I was one of them.
Juliette Van Der Becq (played by Vanessa Paradis) was the woman he was hired to show her the error of her ways. Some of you might recognize her; she is Johnny Depp's girlfriend. As with Romain Duris, this was my first time seeing her act as well. I may sound a little biased or heavy-handed here but I found her performance to be a bit on the weak side as compared to Romain Duris. She is supposed to be playing this damaged (although we don't know why she is damaged for most of the story), beautiful, wealthy women who is marrying what appears to be the perfect man. So, what's the problem? I know now but it took a while to get there.
So all-in-all I liked Heartbreaker. My first French comedy but I have feeling it won't be my last.
My favorite thing: The dance - I won't describe what that means but I loved it!
My least favorite thing: That I was jealous that it was filmed in Monaco..I so want to see that city.
Rating: Couldn't find a consistent rating but there is cursing and a little nudity.
Length: 105 Minutes
Rating: 7 out of 10

What makes a bathroom memorable? I've been thinking about that on my travels this year. Despite the raised eyebrows I get when taking photos in and around public bathrooms, I have found some nice details to share.
At the Coast Long Beach Hotel in Long Beach, CA, ornate brass handles set off the bathroom doors.
Zephyr Restaurant, also in Long Beach, had this lovely switchplate adorning their restroom.
Shades Restaurant in San Diego found a smart and colorful way to cover up those ugly pipes. They also have real, fluffy bath mats. (Note: Real, fluffy bath mats do need extra cleaning.)
Cafe Gratitude in Berkeley continues their theme of self-empowerment in the unisex bathroom.
Filoli Center, south of San Francisco, has beautiful tile borders on the floor.
The Ghirardelli shop in Chicago offers this gorgeous bathroom.
The winner in this category: The incredible de Young Museum's bathroom, with fresh flower arrangements.
Tip of the day: How can you add special touches to your bathroom to extend your business theme and make the experience memorable?

The Japanese drifter Nobushige Kumakubo is praised for his efforts behind the wheel as well as his contributions to the sport and is considered a pioneer of drifting. Kumakubu was fortunate enough to inherit a large parcel of land in the Fukushima countryside where he gave back to the drifting community by constructing the acclaimed Ebisu Circuit. Aside from being a track owner he is also the founder of Team Orange, one of the most successful drifting teams in D1 history. He also founded Big X, a motorsport spectable that combines drifting with freestyle motocross, supermoto and other extreme automotive activities.
Continued after the jump.
Team Orange got their name from the exterior finish common amongst all their cars. He began with an orange bodied Nissan S15 Silvia with mixed success until noticing the abilities of the all wheel drive Subaru WRX . Kumakubo commissioned the Japanese super tuners JUN to convert a GDB STi into rear wheel drive drift car for the 2005 D1GP season. With that same orange STi he won the D1GP Championship a year later.
Never one to rest on his laurels Kumakubo passed the reigns of the Subaru onto his fellow Team Orange teammates to take the wheel of another JUN built all wheel drive rally based machine. For the second half of the 2007 D1GP season Kumakubo competed in an orange EVO IX with the engine turned sideways to send power directly to the rear wheels. Always in line with the latest fashion, the Ebisu owner and founder of Team Orange is piloting an all new EVO X built by JUN in 2009.

LAKE PARK, Minn. (KFGO AM) -- Nearly a fourth of those living in Lake Park, Minnesota are asking Mayor Aaron Wittnebel to resign.
211 people signed a petition and presented it at a recent city council meeting.
Wittnebel went to court earlier this year accused of stealing from his sister who has Downs Syndrome and was granted a stay of judgement, which allows the charge to be dismissed if he successfully completes probation.
It's not the only issue the city has with Wittnebel.
Council member Kimberly Holloway says there's a misuse of city resources.
Other city officials are keeping quiet on whether they want Wittnebel in office.
Residents will be able to voice their concerns at two upcoming meetings.
The meetings will be held the next two Mondays at the Lake Park City Center.
Wittnebel's term ends in 2016.
