Loved the stay at the smile hotel. Staff were great and went out of their way to help us. Room was basic but good for the money we paid (£6) - only location could be better

Day 15 and 16
Hellloo everyone - we realise that we are rushing through countries and so are going to chill out post vietnam! Today we left singapore early morning and off to Malaysia by bus woooo. We bit farewell to sejal Fia and family who have been lovely hosts! I was so tired from the super late night chatting in singapore, so I passed out until the border …
Kuala Lumpur!
... checked out the "best roof top bar in KL" - great fun and ended up staying until pretty late...nice to be able to stroll one floor down to our room (not sure our poor roomie enjoyed our arrival at 3am though...). Today has been a walking tour of pretty much everything in the city. We started off in the direction of the Petronas towers, the tallest twin towers in the world after 9/11 happened. So nice to be back in the warmth of +30°C and sunshine ...
Kuala Lumpur day up the towers
... and for some unknown reason then dropping off your bag, we were all gathered to watch a safety video. To make it interesting and different they decided to rear project the video on to a wall of steam which you later walk through which was a cool touch. After this we jumped in the lift and headed up to the 41st floor (170m from the ground) and the location of the glass walkway between the towers. The lift on the way up was walled with large ...
Malaysia- Tea please
... out of the plans for more time in Myanmar. We decided 10 days in Myanmar would be sufficient for what we want to see there. Also, during the two days we paid visit to China town, and the KWC fashion mall where Breanne picked up two baggy Asian pants. However, most of our time was spent at our luxurious hostel, BackHome which we stayed in a dorm room that housed queen sized beds. For the price of 80rm($27)/night, this was by far the nicest hostel we have stayed at ...
Watching cars going round in circles
... of my way. I managed to get a cheap ticket for the weekend and it also meant that I could meet up with Kirsty in her way back from New Zealand. All in all a good week planned.
My first night was very uneventful, some noodles at a restaurant just up the road that were super cheap and to bed. (The bed was amazing, I could have spent most of the week wrapped up in my big white duvet with the aircon blasting out cold, but that's not really the point ...

The latest title to spin off of the original Ragnarok Online is Ragnarok Violet, which, besides being my favorite color, will combine the action RPG-ness of the PC game with quick game play suited for mobile devices, in this case, the iPhone and iPad (and, we assume, iPod touch, but it is not mentioned specifically in the press release). Ragnarok Violet will employ several of Ragnarok Online's game systems, such as item enchanting, card collecting, character costumes, the pet system and more. In addition, Violet will improve upon the original with a better weapon swapping method and a new item creation system.
Ragnarok Violet is launching on August 5th in the App Store (at least in North America; the game has already been released and seen success in Japan for weeks), for a price that will guarantee many of you will at least try it: free. Check out our new gallery linked below, and the game's trailer right here:

"Normally the Hotel is well sited for City attractions. But don't go when the Carnival is on as its sited right near the Hotel. This means a whole week of extremely loud club "music" all night long. Insomnia! But the hotel staff were very accomodating and helped us to move to a quieter venue."

Ruby, a woman that when I heard her story it made me very sad. A mirror filled with stories of many hurting women, that's what I saw. Sad because she was used and abused by her husband Nick, people of her island, the justice system and her government. Can you imagine being left alone without any help? Without being able to escape?
Even in the valley of the shadow of death, still in love with Nick, she turned to him for help and received none. What she got was rejection, increased emotional abuse of different kinds and form. Nick was going through a court case that when the wild fire of justice grew stronger he left Ruby to burn with the help of the government and justice system. He wanted to be free along with the government.
That was the price that Ruby had to pay when she chose to say no to lies and yes to the truth even if the price was losing her freedom. One phrase that Ruby shared with me that was said to her by her opponents was "We are building a house and you have to help us otherwise our whole house will fall". Nothing that is built on sinking sand will stand. She was the only women in group of male figure and also the weakest point.
Ruby found out that after all these years she has been the victim of a manipulative love. Finding out that you are married to a sociopath is worse than you can ever imagine.
Ruby was charged for a crime she did not commit and went to prison 3 times. Ruby was put in a cage with no way to escape. They tried to burn her till the fire died out…… but noticed that the smoke was always black and never turned grey.
She fled to the Island of Bonaire, The United States and The Dominican Republic which served as a safe house for her and her children.
Due to all the abuse, suffering, screaming, crying and doubt in God, Ruby reached her breaking point that gave birth to her passion to encourage and serve others. Ruby also became the author of her first book "Blessed Through Homelessness". Creating a movement that encourages women to pick-up their pearls of life struggles that they mistake for curses is what she lives for.
After this long journey in life she finally looks into the mirror and realizes that she is me.
I am Ruby!
Aw! Sweet!
The tension that was built within me as I started reading this post was calmed down by the last paragraphs. That is what matters...being able to come out of our suffering. A lot of women are victims of manipulative love and still they haven't realized that. They are still in there, suffering from all the shooting manuplations. May all these women find freedom and inner peace someday like Ruby. Ruby, I am very proud of you.
Annadassa, that was a well-written piece. Thank you dearly for sharing.
Sending you lots of love!

Although famous for its buzzing night-life, 'craic', and of course the 'black stuff', Dublin also offers attractions for culture-seekers...
Home to the renowned Trinity College and extraordinary Book of Kells, the city also boasts the largest park in Europe as well as a number of churches, a castle and cathedral. And, no trip would be complete without a trip to the famous Guinness Factory
Although the city centre is not particularly car-friendly due its heavy traffic and a tricky one-way system, with such a fantastic choice of places to visit on the doorstep, why limit yourself? Pick up of your car hire in Dublin is available from Dublin Airport (DUB).
Once outside the city boundary, car hire in Dublin really starts to come into its own. Here are some recommendations...
Driving just 12 miles south of the city will bring you to the seaside resort of Bray. Perfect for families with its mile-long promenade and pebble beach, holidaymakers can indulge in a range of activities including cycling, fishing and hill-walking, all with the beautiful backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains.
For history-lovers, the prestigious World Heritage Site Bru na Boinne is a 30-mile drive from Dublin. The site consists of Neolithic tombs built by pre-historic humans thousands of years ago and is an absolute must, especially when you have a hired car to get you there.
Or how about visiting the picturesque fishing village of Howth located just nine miles away? Whether you fancy wandering around the busy harbour, visiting Howth Castle or experiencing a traditional Irish music session in full swing, Howth has something for everyone. Foodies will love the numerous restaurants offering the day's catch and why not take part in a cookery class held in the castle's original Georgian kitchen? And if you're feeling the need to burn off a few calories after too much Irish stew, a walk along the cliff tops will present you with spectacular views of Dublin Bay and Ireland's Eye.
For the more adventurous, heading over to the spectacular west coast will not disappoint. With its dramatic countryside and rugged coastline, driving to this side of the Emerald Isle will really allow you experience the thrill of the open road. Heading into Connemara you will be taken through the Twelve Ben Mountain Range and will be presented with miles of unspoilt, golden beaches. Whether it's horse-riding, golfing, or just experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the people in the numerous inns and pubs, you will be left yearning to return time after time.

Mark Wahlberg switching to meteorology?
Action star Mark Wahlberg took time Wednesday to forecast the weather for a local Philadelphia news station.
Wahlberg delivered a few smooth jokes such as suggesting a hoagie for the road, as well as commenting on the "perfect golf weather."
Director Allen Hughes appeared with Wahlberg to promote a new film, "Broken City," though Hughes is not nearly as entertaining as Wahlberg.

shop online best sites nternal linings are not leather so we will see how they handle my wide big feet at work. What more can I say other than excellent value!UPDATE.. CONTINUE TO BE GREAT SHOES COMFORTABLE AND SSRVED WELL THROUGH WINTER! I wanted a decent pair of smart black shoes for work and interviews and these seem to fit the bill. I have wide feet that sometimes get a bit sore, so was attracted by the sizing offered and there is no issue here when worn with wool socks. The uppers are leather with a highly polished and resiliant exterior. They should last me a while. There is a nice little added ridge at the entry for the foot which stops chafing,I guess. Still wearing them in,but no issues yet. The sole is a fairly thick and solid rubber which should last. The shoes strik New Orleans ow into, and then got practically the same pair from start right in the half size, they cost me £40 , so would of saved a fortune if they'd fit. Nice shoes. This is the second pair of toughees shoes I have purchased for my daughter. She loves them and so do I. These are the only shoes that she has grown out of before they were worn out. We will definitely continue to buy toughees shoes. The leather is of good quality and it looks quite strong. If the buckle was a bit more practical I would have given it 5 star. It is difficult for a 7-year old to do it correctly on their own. I was looking for some hard wearing school shoes for my granddaughter and these were fine. Not the usual lelli Kelli ones that we but but nonetheless cheaper and appropriate! We will keep them. But I've had to buy an best lawn mower e was over the moon. great value for money Ok lets address the elephant in the room, this is not the most attractive stroller out there. The black and yellow design is not to everyone's taste HOWEVER I personally like it but a few of my more honest friends felt obliged to comment on the physical aspect of this stroller so that why I mentioned it. Obviously a purchase such as this will be based on how it looks primarily anyway but just becase you like it (and I do too) doesn't mean everyone else will. So if you are happy to look like a super hero wasp walker then this really really is a good stroller, the colour and design makes it 100% unisex, it has very strudy chunky double front and back wheels that makes for a comfortable walk and steers and controls as well as some of the much more expensive offerings we tried in KiddieCare. The handles feel nice in the hand and when tested I pushed for over and hour with no soreness to my hands at all.The stroller pops up and folds down with relative ease and with a li supra shoes added and waterproof, comfortable for standing all day and look good too. Great pair of shoes bought with 20% discount. Cushioned sole for added comfort. No need to break in. True to size. Great little shoe. True to size. Easy for a little one to take on and off. Go with loads of outfits and wearing well! These are perfect for my soon to be 3 year old. They fit nicely and look very smart. Nice thick black canvas and at £13.50 a bargain. This is at least £10 cheaper than the high street. Very quick delivery opted for super saver.
best acoustic guitar that is preferable to too narrow that are painful to wear.Cannot comment on the comfort or durability because I haven't worn them yet.
item came very quick fit ok metal eyelets the laces go though not fitted very well two have came out just sorting the laces out but for the price not a bad pair of shoes
Great fit I had these on all day at a wedding no problem wide fit very comfortable also looked smart.
My son loved these good value comy would be but lovely. Good value for money!
My daughter is over the moon with all her lovely bows! Really impressed with the quality.
Waited for them really long and got first the wrong item, but it was replaced without any problem. I really love them (despite my age ^^) and it's really cool that there is so many colours to choose from everyday!
Five stars! Plus!!!! Exactly as image and excellent service
Brilliant for my daughters hair. Matches with most outfits and great for school. The girls love them. Fast delivery. Ordered on Saturday evening & delivered next day Sunday.
lovely real bargin she loves them
Bought this as a present for a friend, they were absolutely frilled. Lovely product.
Lovely size lovely colours excellent price a must have for all little girls
love them and very comfortable
I am really happy with these shoes, as my daughter is rather rough on her shoes. She manages to scuff, walk down heels etc. Been wearing them since last week of August and still going strong. Only thing is shoe is a big make a Babyliss UK s almost like new with no care whatsoever as my daughter hates shoe polish smell, sole shows some usage, but is just a little, they really last entire school year in perfect condition.That's why I bought very same design for my younger daughter, and Toughees for my all other kids.
Great shoes and great value for money, daughter loves them and feels very comfy in them. bought a size 4 as she is just a size 4 and they fit very well with enough room to grow.These are great school shoes and look very smart at a price the wont break the bank.I do recommend buying them as I would and will purchase again.
Good quality, hardwearing school shoes at reasonable cost. Beats the popular brands of shoes for wearability. Highl no no pro uk d feet & high instep so went up a size. This was definitely the right choice. Love the classic sleek line of the shoe with lovely soft leather and a super sturdy non slip sole. The depth of the sole provides uber-comfort to the balls of your feet. The deep v-cut vamp at the front if the shoe keeps them on nice and snug even though there are no fastenings. The mushroom colour is a great neutral. I will be looking to buy these in other colours too!
I never know whether to get a 5 or a 6 in fly london. I bought these in a 5 at a real bargain price. They arrived the next day and were too tight but the size 6 was full price. They were lovely and such a bargain that I gave them to a friend and she is very happy with her new shoes. Buy your usual non-fly size in these!
When I first wore them they were very tight but as the days went on they got better, they.
best mascara se you feet will suffocate....
I bought these insoles as my job requires me to always be on my feet and they were always aching. However since using this product I can do a shift without my feet hurting at all. I can't believe the difference! I recommend this product to anyone looking for comfort. Thank you to the seller, fast delivery also :)
This is one of the best buys ever, I am so impressed and pleased with this small warmer. I bought it out of desperation with my son's always wet inside shoes, and I can't tell you what a wonderful relieve this warmer became. We situated it in on the floor around 6 p.m. the first evening it arrived and I was wondering should I leave it switched on for all night long. It warms the shoes just enough, not to intensely, so there is no risk of burning them or (God forbid) fire. Still, for security purposes, before we went to bed we checked around 11 p.m and both pair of shoes which we put on were actually already dry, warm and ready for use! Wonderful surprise.I highly recommend this product, its more the quality seems to be deteriorating. After a couple of months of light wear (weekends), they are starting to split slightly on the sides where the sole is bonded to the fabric. Other than this, I'm really pleased but I would expect more longevity in the life of the shoe.
I was disappointed with the colour of these trainers - from looking at the picture I was expecting a light coral colour but in the flesh they are more of a neon orange! Not what I wanted but they are OK.
Can't have too vivienne westwood bags d after owning a pair for about 5 years that still looked as cool as the day I bought them! I needed a pair of black shoes for work and treated myself to some converse. They are so comfy, look awesome and are summer-ie in the low top style even though they are black. Love, love, love!
Excellent shoes at great value. They are blood red and look great with skinny jeans! I walked around Oxford Street in the post Christmas sales with them and they kept my feet comfy all day!
i love these trainers ,i bought them because i am a size 5 1/2 and it is difficult to get trainers in half sizes ,would definately buy another colour
Really disappointed with the quality of this particular pair of shoes. I have bought several pairs of converse without a problem but after 3 months this pair have disintegrated at the heel inside the shoe leaving an uncomfortable , un-wearable pair of shoes. Really disappointed as these were not cheap shoes and I expected them to last longer than 3 months ( I only wear them for a few hours about 3 times a week). Disappointed that Amazon wont exchange/return - will return to buying direct from SCHUH their policy on shoes is far better for the customer. Hollister online hey will see my holiday threw
these plimsoles are lovely but unfortunately WAY too big for me, I ordered size 3 and they were at least 2 sizes too big had to send them back and it cost me over £5 to do so grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Great shoe, no flaws. Looks just like in the picture, feels nice to wear. I would definitely buy it again once my pair is too old.
It fits very well and is comfortable to wear. I wish there were more funky colours to choose from, if there were I would consider buying more.
These are lovely trainers and I have had alot of positive comments about them too. Good quality for the price
These shoes are so comfortable and fit so well. I have a few pairs of Converse All Star and they are far better in my opinion. If you're not too bothered about the fact they are not 'named' then these shoes are well worth the money.
I'm am extremely disappointed with this product! Only have them a week and they are falling apart already, they may look the part but so poorly manufactured. The outer heel has completely come away from the sole, I've never seen a shoe fall apart so quick.. I feel robbed, thought I was getting a bargain .

Maintaining an archive of more than 10,000 of anything can be overwhelming. Our ultimate goal is to get these films back into the minds of public, so that they can be appreciated for generations to come. This takes a lot of time and money. Most of the A/V Geeks projects (DVDs, shows, stock footage, transferring films) are set up to support the archive and the archivist (me) and to pay down debt. You can help a couple of different ways.
Buy something. Buying a DVD (or 2 or 3, etc) helps pay the bills. Here's the catalog
Watch more of our videos on YouTube and share them with your friends. We get a tiny pit of ad revenue (pennies, really) when folks watch our videos here…

When that gets exercised, the shorts will get sooo squeezed. Also, they are obviously betting the stock goes above $86.5. That may squeeze the shorts to cover their stock to $120+
Shorts drive the price down with the help of a weak overall market and then buy calls to hedge their short.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Also, 1000 Apr70 Call & 2,000 Apr105 Call! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm guessing the drop today was orchestrated by a determined call buyer. When they are done it will power up. Green today. (now -2.19)

Powerful nutrients, tho tablets might be easier to take

Excellent product, powerful nutrients. Taste is intense (because the nutrients are intense). Consider taking the tablets rather than the powder, since tablets might be easier to take.

John Collins (sports executive)
John Collins (born November 27, 1961) is an American professional sports executive, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer of the National Hockey League,[1] which was named "Sports League of the Year" by the SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily in 2014 and 2011.[2] Previously he was an executive with the National Football League.
As the NHL's chief operating officer since August 2008, Collins has been the architect of a brand and business strategy that has helped transform the NHL and driven unprecedented levels of popularity and financial growth over the past decade. His strategic vision for the NHL brand focuses on three pillars: build national scale for a sport, business and fan base that has been historically more tribal than other leagues; foster innovation and deploy the latest technology to create the best content for fans across new and multiple platforms; and expand the League's reach in North America and new international markets through innovative and strategic partnerships.
Collins is responsible for strategic leadership for all of the League's global business, marketing, sales,broadcast and digital media operations while working closely with the 30 clubs to support their ticketing, media and business operations. Joining the NHL in 2006, Collins became Senior Executive Vice President, Business and Media in May 2007. Since Collins' arrival, the League has grown from a $2B to a $4B industry, with national businesses averaging 18% annual revenue growth and 28% annual operating profit growth over his tenure.
Not only is the League poised to top $4 billion in revenue in the season ahead, it is forecasting to top $4.5 billion by the 2017-18 season.
The League in benefiting from a sharp rise in national revenue, which includes league wide sponsorships, media rights deals and licensing. In 2005-06, national revenue accounted for about 7 percent of total League revenue, but now makes up nearly 20 percent of that figure. In addition, national revenue has grown about 20 percent a year, while the local team revenue that makes up the rest of the League's total revenue figure has grown about 4 percent a year.
The signs of this growth include partnerships with GoPro, SAP, DraftKings, MLB Advanced Media and Adidas, as well as renewals with Bridgestone and Sirius XM. There's also the relaunch of the World Cup of Hockey, set for 2016.[3]
At the forefront of the League's growth, Collins' accomplishments include the negotiation of a $2.2B media rights deal in 2011 with NBC, a $5.2B landmark rights agreement in 2013 with Rogers - the largest media deal in League and Canadian history - and a groundbreaking $1B digital media rights partnership in 2015 with Major League Baseball Advanced Media.
Chicago Blackhawks owner and chairman Rocky Wirtz said, "We're going to add another billion dollars in gross revenue in the very near future. The CBA is long-term [10 years, with opt-outs for the league and players after eight], and now the focus is on growth. I'm extremely happy about the future of the NHL."[4]
During his tenure, Collins has led many new programming and technology initiatives, including the Winter Classic and Stadium Series outdoor games, which have played to sold-out football and baseball stadiums across the country, popular collaborations with HBO and EPIX around all-access "24/7" series, the launch of the popular GameCenter LIVE streaming game subscription product and the introduction and launch of the NHL Network to 50 million U.S. homes. In conjunction with the NHL Players Association, Collins led the development of and negotiations for the "World Cup of Hockey" to be played in Toronto in September 2016 with participation from 15 international federations. In September 2015, the NHL and Adidas, Fanatics and Outer Stuff announced a new $1B consumer products model designed to better and more directly serve NHL fans.[5]
In May 2011, the NHL was named "Sports League of the Year" by the SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily[6] and again in 2014.[7] The Winter Classic was also feted by SBJ/SBD as the "Event of the Year" twice, with those honors coming in 2006 and 2014. The NHL was selected as "Marketer of the Uear" (2008) by Advertising Age, and was labeled one of the "Most Innovative Companies" by Fast Company (2009). In 2010, Collins was named an "Executive of the Year" by the American Business Awards, winning a Stevie Award for his success with the NHL.[8]
Prior to joining the NHL, Collins spent 15 years with the National Football League. As Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales for the NFL, Collins led all marketing, programming, sponsorship, and advertising sales functions and was a key member of the team that launched the NFL Network. He negotiated billions of dollars of marketing and advertising deals, including a landmark, 10-year, $1.2 billion league-wide deal with Pepsi.[9]
Collins was President & Chief Executive Officer of the Cleveland Browns from 2004-06. Starting in 2002 with the inauguration of the "NFL Kickoff" celebration at Times Square, he steered the NFL's focus toward big events, ultimately increasing NFL sponsorships by $1.9 billion, and doubled annual corporate sponsorship revenues to more than $200 million in 14 months. He also presided over the Super Bowl XXXVI halftime show featuring U2. These successes led to Advertising Age naming him one of America's top 50 marketers in 2003.
Collins began his career in professional sports with NFL Films, where he helped introduce programming such as HBO's Hard Knocks and Inside the NFL. Collins later teamed up with HBO Sports and its 24/7 reality franchise to develop "24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road to the NHL Winter Classic,"[10] which won a Sports Emmy Award for "Outstanding Edited Sports Special" in May 2011. The program is now repeated annually for every Winter Classic.
Notable deals[edit]
NBC Sports Group[edit]
On April 20, 2011, the NHL and NBC Sports Group announced a 10-year broadcast deal reportedly worth $2 billion – roughly $125 million a year more than reported sums under the previous NHL deal with Versus. Starting with the 2011-12 season, NBC Sports Group is broadcasting 100 regular season hockey games across its networks and for the first time all NHL playoff games are broadcast nationally. By showing every game of the playoffs nationally, the NHL can create "eight weeks of nonstop coverage," said Collins, who was the lead strategist on the deal.[11] This has increased viewership: the 2013 Stanley Cup final was the most-watched on record and the playoffs were the most-watched since 1997, up 18% from 2012.[12] The most watched single game was the 2011 Game 7.[13]
In February 2011, Collins negotiated a sponsorship deal for Coors to become the official beer of the NHL -- MillerCoors in the United States and MolsonCoors in Canada. Worth $375 million over seven years, The New York Times called it the biggest corporate sponsorship in N.H.L. history, noting, "For the N.H.L., the new beer sponsorship demonstrates its progress in recent years, especially in reaching young, affluent, technologically savvy fans who love their ice-cold suds."[14]
Canadian media rights[edit]
In November 2013, Collins led the NHL negotiations to partner with Rogers Communications for exclusive rights to broadcast all national hockey telecasts in Canada. Estimated to more than double its Canadian television revenue, the 12-year deal is worth $5.2 billion.[15]
The largest media rights arrangement in NHL history – and the largest ever sports-media deal ever in Canada – it will kick off in the 2014-15 season and run through the 2025-26 season.[16]
Collins said, "Over the course of 12 years it provides a lot of economic certainty for the clubs and, ultimately, for the cap. Fifty cents of every dollar goes into the player salaries, so this is a significant increase and it certainly helps us get to the $4 billion goal that we've been talking about."[17]
CBS Sports' Chris Peters said, "It is an unprecedented kind of deal in North American sports television. Rogers basically controls everything surrounding live NHL games in Canada with the exception of some regional broadcasts in Winnipeg and Montreal. … a deal like this is further proof that the game is as healthy and vibrant as it ever has been and the future looks only brighter because of it."[18]
Major League Baseball Advanced Media media rights partnership[edit]
In August 2015, the NHL and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM), the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball, announced a groundbreaking digital media rights partnership.
The partnership will transform the fan experience by creating a fully integrated global hub of digital content that encompasses video, live game streaming, social media, fantasy, apps, along with statistical and analytical content. With an emphasis on deeper access into the game and telling the stories of NHL players, MLBAM and the NHL will collaborate on developing new digital products and platforms while enhancing current offerings.
The six-year partnership will allow MLBAM to gain access to NHL content, while the NHL gains access to MLBAM's technology in an attempt to give fans a better experience. The agreement gives MLBAM rights to distribute live out-of-market games, including through the NHL GameCenter LIVE and NHL Center Ice subscription services in the U.S. and certain international markets.[19]
MLBAM will operate NHL.com, including the League's seven native language sites, and Club websites. MLBAM will operate NHL apps and be available to develop apps for the Clubs. The NHL and MLBAM will partner on the design and development of new digital products and platforms. The NHL and its Clubs retain editorial control across all platforms. The Emmy-Award winning MLB Network will provide studio space and production resources for the NHL Network for distribution in the United States and certain international markets.
NHL Stadium Series[edit]
The NHL announced the 2014 NHL Stadium Series (branded the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series), an upcoming series of outdoor regular season National Hockey League games. These are designed to "capture the imagination of the local markets and become a touchstone for the casual fan," wrote ESPN's Scott Burnside, who quoted Collins saying, "You have to be at these events to understand how the game becomes a gathering point for a community, the way a community lights up around hockey. That local impact is incredibly powerful."[20]
In July 2013, the NHL announced another stadium game with the return of the Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic in 2014, with the Vancouver Canucks versus the Ottawa Senators at the BC Place in Vancouver on March 2. The 2011 Heritage Classic led NHL.com to its best Sunday performance of the season and merchandise sales for the outdoor game were the third-largest ever for an NHL event.[21]
NHL Winter Classic[edit]
In 2007, Collins spearheaded the development of the NHL Winter Classic, played outdoors on New Year's Day, with NBC Sports executive Jon Miller, who told The Boston Globe that the key to making the game successful was "Collins's vision, energy, and passion."[22] The Classic's success earned Collins Marketer of the Year by Advertising Age Magazine.[23] Sports Illustrated columnist Dan Shaughnessy said of the new Winter Classic, "now hockey owns New Year's Day the way baseball owns the Fourth of July and football owns Thanksgiving."[24] Sports Business Journal named the NHL Winter Classic the 2008 "Event of the Year."[25] Revenues for the 2010 Classic, played between the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers, were expected to generate $8 million in ticket sales at Fenway Park and $3 million in ad sales for NBC.[26]
The 2012 NHL Winter Classic saw the New York Rangers defeat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2.[27] Since New Year's Day fell on a Sunday, the game was moved to January 2. It was reported that the game generated as much as $36 million in revenues to its host city, Philadelphia.[28]
The 2014 Winter Classic pitted the Detroit Red Wings against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the University of Michigan's "Big House" in Ann Arbor. The event set several records. The crowd of 105,491 is the largest to ever to see a hockey game…and the 8.2 million television viewers in the U.S. (NBC) and Canada (CBC) is a North American record for a regular season game.[29]
It was the first time a Canadian team played in the Winter Classic. Sportsnet's Chris Johnston said, "The feeling when the players walked into the 87-year-old stadium in front of more than 100,000 fans was truly something special. The biggest and best Winter Classic of them all lived up to its advanced billing."[30] The Toronto Star's Damien Cox said, "The ability of the NHL to use this event to bottle the joy of the sport was again the undisputed victor."[30]
SportsBusiness Journal and SportsBusiness Daily named the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic the "Event of the Year" in 2009 and 2014. In May 2014, Collins said, "Our great partners at Bridgestone and NBC also play a vital role and we're grateful to the SportsBusiness Journal for once again recognizing the Winter Classic as an event that does what sports is supposed to do: Bring people together to create unforgettable memories for generations of fans."[31]
World Cup of Hockey[edit]
Collins played a role in the announced revival of the World Cup of Hockey, which will return in September 2016 in Toronto. The field for the revised tournament will include six main countries—Canada, the United States, Sweden, Russia, Finland and the Czech Republic – that would be joined by two all-star teams. One of those squads, Team North America, will be made up of Canadian and American players who have not turned 24 before Oct. 1, 2016. The other will be Team Europe, made up of players from European nations that do not have their own team in the tournament, such as Slovenia, Slovakia, Germany and Switzerland.[32]
Collins, the man behind the successful Winter Classic events that have helped elevate the league's profile in recent years and a key figure in the rebirth of the World Cup of Hockey, agreed that the 2016 tournament is a key element to the league's long-term plans.
"I think this one is unique," Collins told ESPN.com. "It's not supposed to be the Olympics. It's not supposed to be the world championships. It's not the world juniors. This is an event that is co-owned and co-operated by the league and the players, which I think in and of itself says that we have a lot of skin in the game. We each have a lot of skin in the game. And that's important to build out from that." [33]
Use of technology[edit]
Collins has made expanding technology to sports fans a priority in his career. Yahoo! Sports labeled the NHL's use of social media of the "Five best NHL decisions of the last decade," noting, "The NHL had an official YouTube channel and Twitter before most other leagues knew those things are (and in fact the NFL and MLB still make YouTube pull down any clips using their broadcasts, which is six distinct kinds of stupid)." The article also praised the NHL for its use of Twitter-exclusive contests for their fans and the extensive archives on NHL.com.[34]
As of July 2013, the NHL's Facebook[35] and Twitter[36] pages have 2.7 million fans and 2 million followers respectively. Vitrue, Inc. named the NHL among the top-50 most social brands in the world.[37]
Collins spearheaded the NHL Network Online, creating partnerships with news sites and portals, blogs, video hubs, and digital retail outposts. The NHL's strategy under Collins is different than many other major sports franchises, which have resisted digital syndication efforts. This may be because, while hockey's fan base is smaller, it is generally more affluent.[38] NHL.com quickly saw significantly more traffic (up 135 percent from August 2009 to February 2010),[39] receiving a record 13.4 million unique visits in January 2010.
Under Collins, the NHL has introduced an "all-access" service. This integration has contributed to a "66 percent annual average increase in sponsor support and ad spending on our media properties as well," Collins told The Wall Street Journal.[40] The League has also unveiled NHL GameCenter LIVE, enabling fans to watch out-of-market games via live video.[41] These improvements in part led Fast Company Magazine to name the NHL one of the most innovative companies in 2009.[42]
Rising NHL popularity[edit]
Collins explained his philosophy for expanding NHL viewership: "We feel like the sport...is bigger than the business, and the focus on creating a national halo can definitely lift the sport to another level."[43] The NHL has seen considerable rise in popularity in recent years, with rising viewership, ad revenue, merchandising, and Internet traffic.[44] In May 2011, Ad Age reported the NHL was on pace for its fifth consecutive year of record total revenue and quoted Collins saying, "What I try to bring is a perspective where the NHL just needs to think bigger … The Stanley Cup should be, and could be, as big as March Madness from a ratings standpoint and an advertising standpoint."[45]
This recent trend, plus the NBC Sports Deal, resulted in the 2013 Stanley Cup final was the most-watched on record, up 91% from 2012. The entire Stanley Cup playoffs were the most-watched since 1997, up 18% from 2012.[46]
About the increased attention to hockey, Collins has said, "I love the potential of our sport. The Stanley Cup is one of the biggest brands out there. We have an incredible fanbase and our league is filled with some of the best people around. We have an extraordinary opportunity for the NHL to take a giant leap forward, so this is a very exciting time for us."[47]

I believe joelxwil is talking about two concepts:
(1) Momentum investing - "You need to be in those assets that are moving up and out of those that are moving down." - Mebane Faber published a paper in 2006 with a follow-up in 2013 describing how to evaluate different asset classes and invest in the ones that are more likely to outperform going forward based on their recent performance. The 2013 paper (Link: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=962461 ) shows how the strategy worked out since it was originally published. This strategy is followed in the Mechanical Investing board under QTAA - http://boards.fool.com/qtaa-013114-31095614.aspx
(2) Deworsification - "The idea that you should be in a little bit of everything is just really stupid." - The concept here is that spreading your funds too thin will not improve re

Want to be a movie star? Camp tells you how
A start
So your kid watches a lot of movies and keeps asking about the world of make-believe. Inform them that showbiz is a reputable profession in which you can make millions and there are actual tools of the trade.
At CIFALC (a Spanish acronym for Centro Internacional de Formación Actoral or International Center of Acting) in downtown Miami, little people can learn how to be little Angelina Jolies or Brad Pitts.
For the rest of the month of July, organizers are doing a camp for wannabe stars, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday ($150 a week). Classes include classes on red carpet strutting (seriously), table manners, modeling tips, and good old acting, which they may need at some point. Ages run from 5-teenager.
There are also one-off training sessions on Saturday.
The school is totally bilingual.

Trudier Harris - Summer Snow: Reflections from a Black Daughter of the South
Trudier Harris - Summer Snow: Reflections from a Black Daughter of the South
Publisher: Beacon Press | 2003-04-15 | ISBN: 0807072540 | File type: PDF | 224 pages | 1.12 mb
A wide-ranging, spirited collection of personal essays about growing up black and Southern
Like Maya Angelou and bell hooks before her, Trudier Harris explores her complicated identity as a black woman in the American South. By turns amusing and probing, Summer Snow lays out in a series of linked essays the formative experiences that shaped Harris into the writer and intellectual she has become.
With passion and eloquence, Harris writes about the creation of her unique first name, how porch-sitting is in fact a creative Southern tradition, and how insecurities over her black hair ("the ubiquitous hair") factored into her self-image. She writes about being a "black nerd" as a child, and how the black church influenced her in her early years. But she also writes about more troubling topics, such as the price blacks have paid for integration, and the "staying power of racism." In one moving piece, Harris remembers a white teenager propositioning her for sex in exchange for five dollars. Unflinching in her assessment of white Southern culture, yet deeply attached to a South
many black intellectuals have abandoned, Harris in Summer Snow takes readers on a surprising tour of one woman"s life, loves, and lessons.
Trudier Harris is the author of numerousbooks, including Saints, Sinners, Saviors: Strong Black Women in African American Literature and Fiction and Folklore: The Novels of Toni Morrison. She is currently a professor of English at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

Skip to comments.Calif. Official Bans Some Voting Machines [Calls for Criminal Investigation of Diebold]
Posted on 05/01/2004 6:03:36 AM PDT by AntiGuv
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The state's top elections official called for a criminal investigation of Diebold Election Systems Inc. as he banned use of the company's newest model touchscreen voting machine, citing concerns about its security and reliability.
Friday's ban will force up to 2 million voters in four counties, including San Diego, to use paper ballots in November, marking their choices in ovals read by optical scanners.
Secretary of State Kevin Shelley asked the attorney general's office to investigate allegations of fraud, saying Diebold had lied to state officials. A spokesman for Attorney General Bill Lockyer said prosecutors would review Shelley's claims.
Diebold issued a statement saying it was confident in its systems and planned to work with election officials in California and throughout the nation to run a smooth election this fall.
The ban immediately affects more than 14,000 AccuVote-TSx machines made by Diebold, the leading touchscreen provider. Many were used for the first time in the March primaries and suffered failures.
In 10 other counties, Shelley decertified touchscreen machines but set 23 conditions under which they still could be used. That order involved 4,000 older machines from Diebold and 24,000 from its three rivals.
The decision follows the recommendations of a state advisory panel, which conducted hearings earlier this month.
Made just six months before a presidential election, the decision reflects growing concern about paperless electronic voting.
A number of failures involving touchscreen machines in Georgia, Maryland and California have spurred serious questioning of the technology. As currently configured, the machines lack paper records, making recounts impossible.
"I anticipate his decision will have an immediate and widespread impact," said Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation and a frequent critic of the machines. "California is turning away from e-voting equipment, and other states are sure to follow."
Activists have been demanding paper printouts required in California by 2006 to guard against fraud, hacking and malfunction.
Diebold has been a frequent target of such groups, though most California county election officials say that problems have been overstated and that voters like the touchscreen systems first installed four years ago.
At least 50 million voters nationally were expected to use the ATM-like machines from Diebold and other companies in November.
California counties with 6.5 million registered voters have been at the forefront of touchscreen voting, installing more than 40 percent of the more than 100,000 machines believed to be in use nationally.
A state investigation released this month said Diebold jeopardized the outcome of the March election in California with computer glitches, last-minute changes to its systems and installations of uncertified software in its machines in 17 counties.
It specifically cited San Diego County, where 573 of 1,611 polling places failed to open on time because low battery power caused machines to malfunction.
Registrars in counties that made the switch to paperless voting said Shelley's decision to return to paper ballots would result in chaos.
"There just isn't time to bring this system up before November," Kern County Registrar Ann Barnett said. "It's absurd."
Diebold officials, in a 28-page report rebutting many of the accusations about its performance, said the company had been singled out unfairly for problems with electronic voting and maintained its machines are safe, secure and demonstrated 100 percent accuracy in the March election.
The company, a subsidiary of automatic teller machine maker Diebold, Inc., acknowledged it had "alienated" the secretary of state's office and promised to redouble efforts to improve relations with counties and the state.
Those selfish activists! Don't they realize how many hackers are going to lose their jobs at the DNC because of this decision? < /sarcasm >
Yep, we use punchcards here, (Virginia Beach,VA), I've yet to see a chad of any sort. It's simple, quick and easy.
Simple, quick, easy, leaves two paper records - one in the machine, one to the customer.
The things are everywhere, too - no need for absentee ballots.
And the banks execute billions of transactions a day, with very, very, few errors.
And they would be happy to do it - for a buck a vote. Much cheeper than our current efforts.
Such machines can easily support two databases, report one, print the other.
And the banks execute billions of transactions a day, with very, very, few errors.
An ATM is just your checking account. A ballot is your freedom. The stakes are just a little different, no?
Paper ballots.
The very fact that we DON'T use ATM's convinces me that someone has a vested interest in cheating.
You won't know what your vote really was, because what the screen says and what the paper says may be the same, but that isn't necessarily what the machine will report to the tabulating computer upline. The way these systems work, it's easy for an administrator to get into it from a remote location and change your vote after you've left the polls.
Paper ballots.
Ballot Transparency to Eliminate Fraudulent Counts
Voters have read and seen all sorts of assurances that the new touch-screen balloting systems are fool proof, tamper proof, and nothing to worry about. Many, including those who are familiar with the technology, are not at all reassured.
The concerns are on two levels. First, from the perspective of those not familiar with the technology, it is a device whose inner workings and inherent security they cannot possibly understand. If they can't understand it, how can they be assured that it is honest? Second, those who DO understand signal processing, software, and communications technology know that is far too easy to defraud the system in a way that would be irreversible and undetected. Either way, touch-screens are a loser.
Now, as users of ATMs, cell phones, the Internet, and other electronic media, it might at first seem a little strange that so many people have such concerns. Upon further consideration however, the key distinctions between voting and a service handling mere money become obvious:
Governments are monopolies. One can go down the street to another bank and take the offending bank to court. An evil government can land you in prison (or worse) because they ARE the court. The stakes associated with voter fraud are far higher than with an ATM and so is the temptation to defraud the system. Necessary and Sufficient
Necessary and Sufficient
So, given that we are still smarting over hanging chads, what are the alternatives? Lets begin to answer that question by looking at the requirements.
Electronic sensors and interlocks are permissible as long as they can be duplicated manually.
Here is my proposal for a system that meets these requirements:
At the Polling Place
Note that the Scantron pattern is the perfect bridge between human and machine. It is readable by people for manual counting but does not require an optical character reading machine that needs cameras or software.
Both parties thus know the EXACT number of ballots cast in every precinct and in every box. Every box is signed. All parties can thus run check sums at the processing centers and verify the chain-of-custody.
At the Ballot Counting Center
The Diebold system uses Microsoft Access as a database (appropriate choice, don't you think?). When the Diebold system was first audited for security, one reviewer reported in Wired Magazine that the operating system was so open to manipulation that, "It's not just a bug, it's a feature."
You might want to read the source article for this quote.
Great system. Perhaps you should restrict your grousing to something you understand a little better.
Oh somebody thought it through all righty, It's worse than you realize. See the link in Post 16.
How do you prove 100% accuracy on a voting system that has no mechanism for verifying accuracy? I've always been a vocal advocate for paper receipts on electronic voting machines because it provides such a verification mechanism.
So that they can just switch optical disks? LOL!
That's why the paper trail for chain of custody on the ballots has to be required. It's also why observers at the polls should have access to the tallies to report them in a parallel count. It's a lot easier to catch somebody trucking in boxes than it is to detect a hacker.
I don't give a damn if the count takes a few hours longer.
Actually, the Software is where the Problems are likely to be.
Take New Mexico in 2000. In Albuquerque, the Presidential line was NOT counted for Bush-Cheney if the Ballot was cast Straight Republican. If the ticket was split, it did.
Thus, so-called Broken Glass Republicans were disenfranchised as to the Presidency.
NO such "glitch" occurred for Yellow Dog Democrats!
Yet no one went to Jail for rigging the Software!!
Luckily, the problem was caught and corrected [paper trail].
Electronic voting is a SCAM!!!
The only way to get dimpled, dangling and preggers chads is to hold a stack of ballots, place a pen on the vote you wish to multiply and pull the stack up. If the stack is too thick, not all the chads will break loose.
In other words - EVERY DANGLING CHAD IS CLEAR EVEDENCE OF ATTEMPTED FRAUD!
Printed receipts enable vote-buying schemes: Bring you John F'n Kerry receipt down to the AFL-CIO hall for a promotion or vacation day or cash bribe. Don't think it wouldn't be happen.
Optical scan paper ballots.
Already understood. You do know that the error rate of electronic voting exceeds that for paper ballots?
Another question though: do these electronic machines retain information about which candidate individual voters voted for?
Not to my knowledge. There is no connection between the issuance of a ballot and the name of the voter of which I am aware. Still, it wouldn't be hard to institute in the name of "preserving the integrity of the voter rolls."
We do have a precedent for violation of the secret ballot in tax elections in Silicon Valley for the Mid Peninsula Open Space District bond sales. They hustle consultants, issue statements advocating bond sales, issue the ballots by mail, and count them. Totally corrupt. They even keep records of individual votes WITHIN the household and the consultants use that data for solicitation purposes elsewhere.
There are people who belong in jail for this kind of crap.

Ringling Bros. Circus ? Demonstration Wrap-up
Thank you to everyone who participated in ARFF's educational efforts at the circus in West Palm Beach, Miami, Tampa, Lakeland, Orlando, Tallahassee, Fort Myers, Sarasota or in Jacksonville. ARFF volunteers distributed well over! 10,000 flyers. We watched several families change their minds and not purchase tickets to the circus. We also spoke to circusgoers after the show who told us, "It was my first circus, and my last."
At performances across the state, ARFF volunteers said that they were surprised at the low attendance. We also learned that Ringling Bros. is de-emphasizing animal acts. We hope this trend continues, and that Ringling will soon decide to entertain audiences without exploiting animals.
