Carmina Burana, the most requested EBC production by far, returns to the Silva Concert Hall stage!

According to a book published in the United States today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched an investigation into claims by a former KGB employee that the Soviet agency recruited 'many hundreds' of American civilian and military personnel to spy on their behalf in the latter days of the Soviet empire.
The FBI has refused to confirm or deny the claim, although it is likely to be met with official scepticism. But the agency said that 'pursuant to its foreign counter-intelligence responsibilities, (the FBI) has opened a number of cases related to the activities of the former KGB and its successor agency. The process of thoroughly analysing and evaluating that kind of information continues.'
The book, The FBI: Inside the World's Most Powerful Law Enforcement Agency, is by Ronald Kessler, an author on US intelligence issues. His previous access to the FBI helped expose alleged travel abuses by its former director, William Sessions, who was fired last month. Mr Kessler has claimed that the suspected KGB spies include former high-ranking US government officials.
If the claims prove to have some foundation, then the KGB was behind a far more serious breach of US national security than has ever previously been suspected. Mr Kessler claims that the information came from a former KGB employee, with access to the agency's files, who alleges that possibly more than 1,000 Americans were spying for the Soviet Union in recent years.
The author claims the FBI has confirmed the authenticity of the source, and has mobilised agents in most large US cities to work on the case. He also alleges that one US military employee stationed in Germany has already confessed.
Wayne Gilbert, chief of the FBI's Intelligence Division, said in March 1992 that the bureau had launched scores of investigations using leads from former East bloc spies. At the time the FBI was working on fewer than 100 cases that could lead to 'a couple of hundred'. Mr Gilbert told USA Today he hoped for convictions against '10, 20, 30 people'.
Robert Gates, who stepped down as CIA director in January, doubted the extent of the possible Soviet penetration described by Mr Kessler. 'The magnitude that he's describing is way beyond anything anyone else has ever suggested,' he said

Going to Europe this summer: Babbel offers ideas on how to immerse yourself like a local
For those on the go, Babbel offers free language learning apps for Android, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad that allow for studying a language on the go, whenever, wherever.
Run with the locals. If you find yourself in Spain, running with the bulls is a must. This annual tradition takes place each year as part of the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona from July 6th-14th. The first running of the bulls starts on July 7th and continues each morning beginning at 8am.
Play like a local. Urban culture and high-performance sports: This year London is worth a trip. From July 27th to August 12th - besides double-decker busses, Buckingham palace and Big Ben - London offers up the world's best athletes at the Olympic Games and the opportunity to meet sports fans from all around the world in one place. With some luck, tickets for sports such as cycling, swimming, track and field and fencing can still be obtained online.
Drink like a local. Those planning a late summer vacation should keep Bavaria in mind. The annual Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany is one not to miss. While the name is slightly misleading, the festival begins in mid September and runs 16 days until the first Sunday in October, so plan your trip accordingly. Festivities include traditional Bavarian customs – food, dress and folk music…and of course Bier, up to 7 million liters are consumed.
Speak like a local. No matter where you are going, chances are you'll meet people from more than just the country you are in: French, Spanish, Italians, Swedes, Germans, Dutch, Poles and Turks. Babbel.com, recommends learning at least some of the language of the country you'll be visiting or the people you'll be meeting. The Berlin-based language learning platform provides travelers with theme-specific online courses in eleven languages. Vocabulary lessons for 'Arrival,'
For those travelers already departed on their summer trip, Babbel offers free language learning apps for Android, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad that allow for studying a language on the go, whenever, wherever.
Notes to the editor:
On Babbel there is travel vocabulary for English, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish, German, Dutch, Indonesian, Polish and Turkish.

Through The Looking Glass

Nothing could stand in the way of their love… not even a French window.

Nothing could stand in the way of their love… not even a French window.
(submitted by Angelina)
Supplies, it's me!
Um, so, awkward….. What is the etiquette when you think you recognise someone on here? I think this is maybe my friend's sister. For reals!
What a pane
Looks like an ad for a home security system.
This is sort of vampire-like—reminds me of how you have to invite a vampire in before it can enter your house. I'm not sure which one is the vampire, though. I think it's the lady, because he's starting to open the window. There's a movie about vampires called "Let the Right One In" because they have to ask permission. They BOTH have the vampire-like intense gaze, too.
What I want to know is why are there words on the picture. Although the whole stalkerness of it is akward I think the words on the picture make it even worse.
Looks like a peeping stalker
Ewwwww 😡
Quite wonderful and amazing !!
Looks like Starla ordered herself one o' them mail order husbands from the google machine again.
Wow! What a nice and lovely picture…
i know that guy in real life. this is hilariousssss! i always thought they were the most awkward couple.
Faith, Hope, and Love. And the greatest of these is love.
"What's happenin', hot stuff?"
Faith, Hope, & Love… and Voyeurism .
Love the comment!
Crop out the fingertips and the words, and this could actually be a really cute photo!
Best caption ever!
Peeping Tom!!!
That's a good start, but when are you gonna buy the rest of the house?
[Also, that woman looks just like I did 15+- years ago! Scary!]
sears portrait studio. i know bec i used to work there. corporate issued prop. they probably still have it. you can all go get your very own romantic stalker pictures!
It's like The Boy in the Plastic Bubble! "I WOULD love you my dear, but I am trapped here in this box of glass and mullions. I cannot be exposed to your world." Until she sees his hand above – LIAR!
LOL! So good…
I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you…
Holy crap. I love the pic. But, the caption is even more perfect. Kudos to you headline/caption writer!
. . . but Faith can block her cleavage. *sigh* How many times did that happen to me growing up at Catholic school?
LOL! Amen sister!
Gotta wonder about the photographer here. He picks 'peeping Tom' for a romantic photo??
Like her dress.
Where's the box of Cadbury's Milk Tray???
Faith, Hope and Peeping Toms.
Through a glass darkly. (In keeping with the Faith, Hope and Love theme of the pic.)
I love that there isn't any glass in the french window, either!
Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you……
"Hey, you're not Dawson!"
"And you're no Joey, either!"
I hate photos like this. Some amateur (or god forbid, a professional) photographer who thinks it's "cute". Just plain silly.
This is a Sear's "professional" picture. Those are all props that they have and text on it is an exact match
I wonder if Santa Claus is out there with him?
At long last, the mystery behind the song, "Come through My Window" has been solved.
Don't you mean "come to my window"?
Oh, "Come through my window" is much, much better. Good one, Celeste!
How awkword.
Oh, darling, being apart causes me so much pane.
Har har.
Good one!
Just a decorative sneeze guard.
Am I the only one expecting him to burst through the glass and say "Heeeere's Johnny!!!?"
Lee and Lorna's love fest began, when he burglarized her house…and she caught him in the act of stealing her window. Thus, she opened the window to her heart to him. Any man who steals my window is a lover of mine, she thought.
awesome LOL
OMG, were you able to figure out the back story to that naked pregnancy / dirty tire photo a little while back? That one still perplexes me.
Everyone with a camera thinks they are a photographer. Just because you can press a button does not mean you can take fantastic pictures. UGH!
THANK YOU!! Couldn't agree more.
Everyone with a keyboard and the veil of anonymity thinks they are qualified to be a critic. Double Ugh!
Isn't it obvious the whole idea here is to comment on pictures which have been selected for being a little off? And of course Carla's anonymous. Should she have posted her social security number and address? If you don't like the basic premise here, go somewhere else.
and of course there are always people who take things too serious and get all angry on the internet. chill 🙂
Well, they ARE!
Everyone with a keyboard and the veil of anonymity thinks they are qualified to be a critic.
Myself included 🙂
unfortunately they had these done at a Sears Portrait Studio. i've seen better uses of their window.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
What photo are you looking at?
LOL! to connie!
Search "be water my friend" on You Tube and look at the picture again.
Aww, man, I was trying to come up with a line like this. You did better than I coulda, Brian.
"I'll have the glass installed before the wedding guests arrive, my love, I promise."
This love looks a little stalker-y to me.
Exactly. Peeping Tom!
HA! I thought the same thing!
He's in a glass box of emotion.
With his fingers exposed, it seems really odd. "Lady, I can't install this window with you sitting in my way."
That's funny!
LOL! Very good.
I agree, his fingers showing kind of emphasizes that they could just tear the window away and never be parted by silly panes of glass ever again!
Geeze, What a Pane
oooh haha very punny
Nowhere near as good as their last album.
+1. They sold-out
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy!
I started thinking that song the moment I saw this, awesome.
love how his finger tips are grasping the top of the window pane
I noticed that too. I guess some guys come complete with windows.
Some men have it ALL!
I love how you can see his hand up top. Like he's purposely blocking their love.
Haha, I had to save this picture with the caption from the site as the filename; it's too perfect to change

Product Description
Avery Power Hunter Layout Blind
The Avery® Power Hunter® is the lightest full-frame laydown blind on the market. But just because it's lightweight doesn't mean it's light on performance. The flip-top cockpit gives you a full field of view while keeping all movements concealed by a screened cover. Heavy-duty aluminum tubing gives the support to spring into position and take the shot and prevents wind from causing the material to flap and flare birds at the last second. The blind conforms to the exact contours of the land you're hunting to give you one of the lowest profiles in the field. And when it's time to relocate within the spread or haul everything out of the field, it folds up to 30" x 26" x 5" and sports built-in backpack straps for easy carry. Stubble straps across the entire top and viewing window give you the ability to vanish within your surroundings. Weight: 11 lb. Camo Pattern: Killer Weed or Mossy Oak Shadow Grass (shown).
- Overweight/Bulky item – an additional shipping charge may apply to this item.

We came in without a reservation and were fortunate to get a site for one night on July 4 weekend! Our spot was a large back-in on the Ohio River and it was nice and level with all the hookups nearby. There was no WiFi or cable but we didn't mind that at all. We did need their maintenance man to check the power pedestal as the 30 Amp plug showed signs of burning/arcing. Everything checked out OK and we enjoyed our night listening to kids playing, folks talking and singing around campfires, and watching stars and the satellites in the sky. - KC8RXQ

Pluses: Lots of Halloween activities for the kids, nice clubhouse, and firewood delivery right to your campsite. Outer loop spots are decently spaced but inner loop look hit-or-miss.
Minuses: Roads are in terrible condition - doesn't look like they have put fresh gravel down in a year so the potholes stayed a muddy mess even when it didn't rain. WiFi was useless - it was crowded, but we couldn't log on even once the two days we were there. Playground is small. - selmore

It was pouring rain the entire time we at the park so we didn't really get a chance to do much or even take advantage of the area. We chose to stay on the upper level which we later found was somewhat of a mistake as the sites all have really bushy trees with lots of low hanging branches. We found out later that the sites on the lower portion by the river don't have that problem. From the little bit we could see through the rain, it appeared to be a nice park with lots of family activities. It is also near 2 casinos, one of which will come to the park, pick you up and return you for free. We were so tired and wet we just opted to stay in for the night. It was rather far from the road, but the drive was easy and had it been sunny probably rather scenic. The site was FHU and very level and long. We hope to go back when the weather is better. - LovinFT

Well maintained park. Only 35 minutes from downtown Cincinnati but feels like it's a world away as it's a pretty setting up on a hill. At & t cell signal was weak to nonexistent. Received 17 over the air TV stations. Bathrooms were old but clean. Sites were somewhat shallow (many had to park sideways in front of their campers or elsewhere) and the sites were mostly unlevel. Sites had decent separation with the exception of those in the two circle loops which were too close together for our comfort. The camp store has the basics but Florence is only a 15 minute drive with all the stores you could ask for. A rather small bundle of firewood was $5 but just outside the park there's a guy selling firewood out of his driveway for the same price and a larger bundle. There's a nice playground in the campground and this place is loaded with families. Minature golf 0n site. As others have stated bring enough water hose because the water hookups are shared and might not be very close. - Fdwt994

This was an overnight stop for us and this appears to be a very popular campground with a mix of tents and RVers and lots of kids. Looks like that it is big rig friendly depending on the site. Utilities were fine but the bath house was old and needed much more attention due to the high volume of users. Had 2 bars of Verizon LTE at our site but only 3G at the campground entrance. Campground hosts were very friendly and attentive. Public roads to the campground are pretty narrow. Do not take Exit 171 off I-75 because some of the roads are extremely narrow for our dually truck. Campground had a very popular pool and miniature golf. I liked this place better than my spouse and we probably would not stay here again. SWe stayed in a motorcycle tent trailer. - roadking

we enjoyed our stay at big bone lick , with about 60 sites it is a quiet out-of-the-way camphround, but still minutes away from the Florence Kentucky area with shops, a mall, restaurants galore. It appeared that the majority of the sites are a bit unlevel but not so much that it could not be corrected. Electric and water were an easy reach . Campground does have a pool and two large playgrounds, The bison herd was interesting but the park museum is small. We enjoyed our stay . - depguy

Very nice RV park just over the Ohio River near Florence/Vevay Indiana. Easy to get to, entrance well marked. Interior roadways were completely paved, as were all sites. Sites were nice and long, easily accommodate big rigs (we're 42 ft. long). Plenty of room to park your tow vehicle. Sites were pretty decent distance apart. Park is family owned, and staff very friendly. Utilities are housed in marine grade unit, and have "night lights" at their tops. Utilities were well positioned and convenient for use. Park is in small foothills, so really warm days (76 degrees in Nov 2016) followed by very cool temps (38-40 degrees) at night made for heavy fog in the mornings. Sometimes it was so foggy, you couldn't see across the small pond. Stayed 2 weeks, and loved it. Nice weather during the day, and cool at night. Office sells firewood, so we had a campfire a couple times during our stay. Park is convenient to nearby casino, and about 20 minutes from nearest Walmart in Carrollton, KY. We'd stay here again, especially with the small pond that is stocked with good size small mouth bass and crappies (catch and release). Interior roads were wide, and obstruction-free. Very easy to navigate with large rigs. - usamacdonald2

Large RV park. Arrived after dark. Paperwork to site left at office. Hardly anyone there when I visited in early September. Nice concrete pad. Very good wifi. Nice bike/walk path attached to site. Would return if on my way through this area, not a destination park for me, for others a nearby casino may be an attraction. - RVStudent

Most sites at this campground are really tight and close together, but somehow we got a really nice site parallel to the lake so we had a beautiful view of the lake right outside the door. I wasn't sure how we were going to get our 41 foot rig parallel parked in that spot, but the guy that works there was very helpful with that. The people that work at this campground are some of the friendliest campground owners/employees we have ever encountered! And the neighbors were all really friendly as well which helps a lot when the sites are so close together. We stayed here so we could visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter with other friends that were also camping there. The museum is only about 10 minutes away, but the ark was about 45 minutes. Both places were awesome and well worth a visit. Verizon 4G worked great here. - Love2Camp777

Gravel roads and sites. Good water pressure, barely usable wifi, open for clear satellite access. Noisy near the Interstate. Convenient for an overnighter, but that's it. - The Hilts

I would have given the park 5 stars for cleanliness; however, we used their paddle boats that they advertise is available to residents, and they were filthy. We had to walk back up to the office to get a broom in order to brush off the leaves, dirt, cobwebs, and spiders, before using them. We are self contained, so otherwise it was really nice. We enjoyed walking around the lake. Nice park. - C and K on the Road

I wasn't expecting to like this park as much as I did. The owners were very nice and the pool was clean. This is an older park, but I found it to be very organized and easy to get around despite some narrow roads. We enjoyed our stay. There were a lot of commercial businesses nearly, but overall it as no noisier than most campgrounds. We would definitely stay here again. Easy on and off the Highway. - Ginny H
Jun 2016 - $28.00
Would give you the pros and cons but have little to say as for pros. As for cons, I'll start with quiet hour starts at 11:00 and it is LOUD til the last minute. The sites are dirty grey crushed rock that tracks white if there is the least amount of dew/moisture on the ground. Bath/shower are smaller than a closet and if ya don't mind large spiders/ants/other crawlers...there is hot water. I believe we were but one of two motorhome in the entire park. I guess that should have told me something from the beginning. But then, we were very tired and looking for a quiet nite (?) along the creek. If your needing the same...keep on movin cause this sure isn't it. I'm going to be very generous giving this campground a 3. - Sweatlife

This is an older park so the facilities could use some updating, however they were reasonably clean. The site was a back in with plenty of room. The connections were at the rear so extra hoses are needed. The pull through do have centrally located hook ups. The site was level. - Al and Anne-Marie

Site 49 was not level. Placed three block under motorhome and afraid to put anymore and still not level. No TV reception at all and no wifi signal.

Located between Interstate 75 and a busy railroad this campground was previously a KOA. South of Cincinnati about 20 miles. Closest attraction is the Ark. Train goes by about every hour and the traffic on the interstate is noticeable. No cable but the antenna picked up a lot of channels. - Bburgbrewer
Sep 2016 - $29.00
Very nice park, gravel roads, gravel spaces, most were very level. They have a beautiful laundry room with 5 washers, 3 dryers. There is a pond for catch and release fishing. There is a pool, playground and basketball court for the kids. It is a friendly quiet park with very nice owners/managers. The only downside was the noise from the highway on one side and trains on the other side. Lots of trains. In all the campgrounds we have been in, this was the worst for traffic and train noise. - esta34950

Stayed here as an over night stop an a recent trip. Only had electric hookup. Dump station and water available. Deep, wet grass. Area needed mowing real bad. When I made my reservations I was quoted $30, but when I arrived I found that since it was race weekend, the rate was $75. They finally accepted the $30 rate I was quoted.
The camp sites are basically electric hook ups in a cow pasture. I had to use 4wheel drive on my truck when pulling out the next morning because my tires were spinning on the wet grass. - arkansasmel
Jul 2015 - $30.00
This is basically a cow pasture turned into a campground. If you have a large RV it is not the place to stay. Also it is right across the street from the main railroad between Louisville and Cincinnati. Trains run all night and there is a crossing there so they blow the whistle 3 times. No sleep! There is only electric at each site so IMO it is overpriced. Sites are all tall grass, so pray it doesn't rain or you're stuck. Will not stay again, will boondock before staying there. - Ljbtn

Sparta Campground! Our 2nd time back! The owners are two of the loveliest people we have met in our lifetime! We stayed on Snob Knob (due to a little oversight on the owner's part). It was a quick switch to a different site & we had a wonderful couple nights with electric & water hook-ups! The train is loud and can wake you up, that is for sure (but it is dark & quiet down in that valley at night, otherwise). The property that the campground is situated on is an old tobacco farm & in MY opinion, it is simply gorgeous!! The hills that roll up around the campsites are covered with tall trees & it is the country AT its BEST!! We loved this short trip to Kentucky & our black lab had another fun time! Thanks again to the owners & their gracious southern hospitality! - patti&charlie

Stayed for 4 nights while visiting family in the area. Always stay at this park when visiting in this location.
Stayed in "C" loop. The restrooms were clean, but they are starting to show their age. Don't like the gang shower, but there is a single available.
This is a pretty park which is well maintained. New picnic tables at our site. Fire wood is available from the campground host. We didn't buy wood therefore I don't know the cost. Hiking trails are close to the campground. There is a lake for kayaks or canoes. Camp store is close to the lake. Saw lots of horse trailers, and they can use trails designed for the horses.
I'm not used to paying an entrance fee to the park, and it's in addition to the camping fee. $9.00 entrance fee for out of state people.
Versailles is close if groceries or other supplies are needed. - Dennis D

Only visited A loop, but would not recommend that section for motorhome or trailers. Very tight narrow road with trees. Sites looked very small and difficult to back into. - Cicero Cachers
Jul 2013 - $28.00
This is a nice park with all sites paved and all roads paved as well. Again, be aware most Indiana state parks don't have water or sewer available at the sites, and this one was no exception. However, there are plenty of water filling stations throughout the park. Real negative about this park is the dump stations. They have only one station with two pipes. You will wait a while on a Sunday with only having one station. They really need to add more. We stayed in the B loop site 116. Nice site tucked into the woods. They are attempting to grow grass on this site, and had hay down. This is probably a hard task with all of the tree cover and constant foot traffic in and around the site. Stay away from Loop A if you have a larger rig (20+ft) as it is super tight and all the perimeter sites are best suited for pop ups. The interior sites are not quite as shady, but still have big trees. The C loop has some nice sites, but be aware that many of those perimeter sites have a large sloping driveway and would be difficult for a larger trailer to get level. I believe the tongue of the trailer would be on the ground and the back of the trailer a good 3-4 ft high in the rear. It was a holiday weekend so it was very busy, but not overwhelming. The bathhouses are older, but seem to be cleaned a few times a day. The pool is nice. They have a huge lake and multiple playgrounds in and around the park. We will stay here again I am sure, just wishing the state would pony up and install water at all of the sites. AT&T wireless has 5 bars and Verizon has 3 bars. Beware that some of the sites will not have access to the southern sky due to trees. Site 166, however, faced Southwest and made it easy to find Directv satellites. One more thing, they charge $7.00 to enter the park, not included in your paid camping fees, and the pool is $3.00 per day to use it as well. The pool is a good 5 min drive from the campground. - jmcmanama

This park is good for an over night stop along the Interstate. There are 5 pull through sites up near the office that are level with crushed stone. Utilities were adequate with 20, 30 and 50 amp service. These are full hookup sites. Ours, however, had a sewer problem so it couldn't be used. The manager said they will be making repairs. I was on site 5 so if that's a problem you might want to avoid it. I was informed when I called them about the situation. It was the only vacancy they had at the time. The price was right so I took it. There are camper sites on a lower level. These look like extended stay sites. I am not certain how many sites are available on a daily basis so call ahead.
We used the laundry. The machines were clean and in good operating condition. The premises were clean. A wash or a dry was $1.25.
The park has new owners. It is apparent they are making improvements. They seem to be very competent and attentive to your needs. I would stay again. - petendoll

The park is under new ownership and the lady that manages the park is very nice and was very helpful as was the people that worked with her. The park was full when I called for a site but she was able to work me in. I had full hook ups and everything worked fine. I would stay at this campground again if in the area. - Ralph EL

I had found prices of $20.00 to $25.00 while searching on line yet when I got there it was $35.00 and $31.50 if you pay cash. After pulling in late I just paid the $31.50. I didn't expect it to be quiet because it can't get any closer to I-75 but the price killed me. Don't even bother typing in the number code for the WiFi it's the worst WiFi I have ever had in and RV park.

The campground is in a nice park facility with a great play area for the kids located down by the lake. It is not real close to the campground though.
We also had to purchase an annual county park pass to be able to get in ($10.00).
The reason for the average rating is very few of the sites are level. Many of them are slanting downhill so it is hard to get level.
They could use a little better signage directing those who do not live here to the campground and check in. We drove past it the first time and had to call to find out where to go.
Also, even though they have a maximum camper limit of 6 people and two tents (or one camper unit and one tent) per site there were several that had many more than that, one having at least 18 people in it and one with 4 tents.
Their dump station is also located on a hill making it hard to get completely empty.
It is a very busy park on the weekends with lots of tent campers - 3 to 6 tents per site.
I would recommend this campground in certain areas only and during the week if possible. - prstlkid

This campground is very close to my home, so we camp here pretty regularly. The upper sites are rather hilly, and most of the lower sites are mostly level. There are a few towards the bottom that have a bad slope, though. There is a playground located in the bottom section, as well. The park offers a lot of attractions (a snack bar, water park for little kids, paved bike trails, disc golf, fishing, hiking trails) and the campground features decent sized sites with plenty of shade. The bathrooms and showers have always been clean when we have camped, and the campground is monitored regularly by park rangers who are friendly and not overbearing. We have a pop-up so without a toilet, so we do not have the problem with the dump station that I keep reading about. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet campground with a lot of activities within the park, I would definitely recommend this park. - McLovin Camper
Jul 2015 - $28.00
We actually like this campground quite a bit, but it has more to do with overall park than the campground itself. The park has a lot of things to do with a nice lake and and hiking trails along with nice paved bike trails. The campgrounds however leave a bit to be desired. We stayed on site 133 and it was not very level. We had to crank the tongue jack all the way down to get the camper level on this site. The site is gravel but was in pretty good condition. We did like that this site was surrounded by deep woods. The site was adequate but not large. It does seem that the 11:00 PM quiet time was enforced or at least we didn't have any real rowdy neighbors and the campground quieted down pretty quickly. It is true as other have said that you have to go to the boat house at the lake to check in and the park staff were teenagers that were friendly but not too knowledgeable about the actual campgrounds. Also as other have pointed out once in the park the signs to the actual campgrounds are confusing -we missed a turn and wound up having turn around in an almost not big enough parking lot- had our 24' camper been larger, we would have had a heck of a time turning around to make the correct turn. And finally -also as others have mentioned- the dump station is on the wrong side. We didn't pull out until Monday so it wasn't a problem for us. We went down to the boat house parking lot -about a 1/4 mile away- and turned around put the dump on the correct side of the camper, but then you have to pull completely through the campground loop again or do some type of fancy backing to get back on the main access road. Bottom line is we like the overall park a lot, but the campgrounds leave quite a bit for improvement. - campdaddy

Other candidates make grand entrances to their campaign rallies, using dramatic spotlights and portentous music like boxing champions. François Hollande enters quietly from stage left as if he were a headmaster about to take morning assembly.
Mr Hollande, who may be president of France in a month, likes to do everything quietly. He even manages to shout quietly. "I want to tell you one simple thing," he said to an overflowing rally in Besançon, in the east of France, this week."I am ready. I am ready to win. I am ready to be President of France. I am ready to transform our country."
Mr Hollande may win but "transform" is an uncharacteristically dramatic word for the Socialist candidate's cautious and, in places, vague programme.
There are now 10 days to the first round of the French presidential elections and the opinion poll meltdown of Mr Hollande – predicted regularly by President Nicolas Sarkozy's camp – has yet to happen. Three new polls this week show him narrowing the small lead that Mr Sarkozy holds before the 10-candidate, first round of voting on 22 April. They also suggest the Socialist candidate has maintained his substantial lead over Mr Sarkozy in the two-candidate second round on 6 May, with the latest surveys showing the President trailing Mr Hollande by up to 10 points.
"Last Sunday, [Mr Sarkozy] said that he could feel a wave building," Mr Hollande told 8,000 people in Besançon. "Me too. I feel a wave of indignation, a wave of exasperation, a wave of anger... a wave which has been building for five years." Note that he did not claim a wave of enthusiasm for himself; only a wave of fury against Mr Sarkozy.
Mr Hollande, 57, must be the most criticised front-runner in the history of politics. He is mocked by Mr Sarkozy as soft, indecisive, elitist and a liar. He is mocked by the far left as a "fake" socialist or, worse, a "Blairist". He is criticised within his own camp for failing to generate passion or enthusiasm.
Indeed, opinion polls, once overwhelmingly in his favour, began to move last month towards the hard-right posturing of Mr Sarkozy and the hard-left pyrotechnics of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
But Mr Hollande remained convinced that his own quiet "normality" was the best strategy in this year's campaign and he held his nerve in the face of the polls. He repeated his plodding, somewhat evasive message: we must have budgetary rigor but there must also be some stimulus for growth and fairness for all.
On the stump, he is the least impressive of the leading candidates – and the most likeable. Mr Sarkozy exudes energy, vanity and anger. Mr Hollande, like his namesake country, is somewhat flat but pleasant and efficient. He can also be funny. Quietness does not necessarily mean passivity.
In Besançon, Mr Hollande wittily skewered Mr Sarkozy's tendency to make absurd and untrue boasts. Attacking Mr Hollande's plans to reduce France's 80 per cent dependence on nuclear energy, Mr Sarkozy claimed recently to have "visited" the site of the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe in Japan.
"We checked. He didn't," Mr Hollande said. "Mr Sarkozy is a trailblazer in all things, even in presidential visits that he has never made."
Does Mr Hollande also make claims with no basis in reality? He promises, like Mr Sarkozy, to reduce France's 5.4 per cent of GDP budget deficit to zero over six years. But he is largely silent about the cuts that will be needed.
He also promises to spend more on education and pensions, and tax-breaks to create jobs for the young. He promises to reopen the negotiations on the European Union fiscal pact to impose a new chapter on "growth creation". In one of his most eye-catching pronouncements, he wants, symbolically, to impose 75 per cent tax on incomes over €1m (£825,000).
None of this is as impractical and "dangerous" as the Sarkozy camp claims. Nor would it "transform" France. Neither the candidate, nor his programme, is built to excite passions. Mr Hollande told the Besançon rally that he was the candidate of "hope", not just the "anti-Sarkozy"candidate. Still, his strategy is to drift home on the anti-Sarkozy tide. More than 50 per cent of his supporters say they plan to vote for him because he is the "only man who can beat Sarkozy".
But a quiet, passion-free campaign has its own dangers. It has already encouraged the rise of the crowd-pleasing, anti-capitalist Mr Mélenchon on Mr Hollande's left. Lack of popular enthusiasm for the front-runner could contribute to a low, left-wing turn-out that could yet make a mockery of the opinion polls.Reuse content

My son had a different brand of fish oil before and he had no problem with tha but that brand was not available where we live. I bought this based on the reviews, but when I gave it to my son the first time, he made all sorts of expression and said it is not nice. I tasted it and it does taste awful. It has a funny, almost medicinal taste to it.
Very fresh , great taste

Lora Brody, author of 14 cookbooks, including the best selling Kitchen Survival Guide, Bread Machine Baking: Perfect Every Time, and Growing Up on The Chocolate Diet, has also created a line of bread making products no home baker should be without.
The ten winners of the September 1998 Gourmet Guess food trivia contest will each win a special Lora Brody breadmaking kit including:
Lora Brody's Bread Dough Enhancer Baking Formula
Lora Brody's Sourdough Bread Enhancer Baking Formula
Lora Brody's Dough Relaxer Baking Formula
plus three Lora Brody cookbooks:
Bread Machine Baking: Perfect Every Time (with Millie Apter)
Plugged In The Definitive Guide to the 20 Best Kitchen Appliances
Stuff It! Fun Filled Foods to Savor and Satisfy (with Max Brody)
The combined retail value of the three products and three books is over $100.00.
[This archived page was originally created in 1998. The products are no longer available.]
Lora Brody's Bread Dough Enhancer Baking Formula
This best-selling product guarantees success for the home baker. A unique dough conditioner and yeast activator, the Enhancer dramatically improves the rise, taste, crumb, crust and shelf stability of bread. It is used with equal enthusiasm by bread machine users and those who make their bread by hand, and has become an indispensible staple for those who bake with whole wheat, rye and other whole grains.
The ingredients, all naturally occurring, are vital wheat gluten, diastatic malt and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). Sold in 10 ounce resealable canisters. Each unit contains enough Bread Dough Enhancer for 20-30 loaves of bread.
Lora Brody's Sourdough Bread Enhancer Baking Formula
This product truly revolutionizes the process of making sourdough bread at home. It can be used to make not only bread, but also pancakes, waffles and non-yeasted flatbreads and crackers.
This is not a starter, all the work has been done for you! The Sourdough Bread Enhancer contains a natural dehydrated sourdough concentrate that instantly converts any regular dough or batter to sourdough. This natural concentrate is combined with the original Bread Dough Enhancer to produce a world class loaf of sourdough bread without the wait, mess and bother of the traditional starter method.
Sold in 10 ounce resealable canisters. Each unit contains enough Sourdough Bread Enhancer for 10-15 loaves of bread.
Lora Brody's Dough Relaxer Baking Formula
This Baker's Formula puts an end to doughs that fight back and bake tough. The biggest challenge in making hand formed yeast bread, rolls and pizza and pie crusts is to modulate the tightening effect of the gluten to achieve a dough that is relaxed enough to behave while it's being rolled, shaped or braided, and mellow enough to make a soft, rich loaf of bread with a nice crisp outer crust.
The addition of a few tablespoons of Dough Relaxer will transform yeast doughs, pie dough and batters, resulting in paper thin pizza crust, light and tender hand formed breads, rolls and croissants, light-as-a-cloud pancakes and waffles, perfect biscuits, pie crusts and rolled cookies.
The Dough Relaxer is made from all natural ingredients: high heat process non-fat dry milk, diastatic malt, natural sours and baking powder. This unique combination of ingredients naturally tenderizes and relaxes the dough, with the non-fat milk also delivering a calcium boost.
Sold in 10 ounce resealable canisters.

The music group underneath Viacom's wide-ranging umbrella – MTV, VH1, CMT and a few others that comprise the family of channels – is currently in the midst of forming a partnership with streaming service Spotify, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The move will see the integration of various playlists and music-focused features across the relevant networks' websites. Viacom president and chief executive Van Toffler says the alliance is part of an effort to resurrect its networks' reputation for providing "unfiltered access" to artists and bands, and potentially bury the reality show format that's taken hold within the last decade.
This time around, though, the emphasis will be solely on the tunes themselves, and Viacom plans to achieve this revival through the Internet, not television sets.
The new music-streaming partnership will mean the addition of at least 150 playlists (accessible for free) to the various sites in Viacom's music group network. Users will be able to listen to featured artists and playlists with music from popular series and franchises as well, such as MTV's Love and Hip-Hop and CMT's Party Down South. Spotify, in turn, will push the playlists and featured artists to its 40-million-strong user base.
Partnerships like this are easy ways for Spotify to pick up new subscribers and expand awareness of its service, especially when you consider the big boys like Amazon, Google and now Apple that are encroaching on Spotify's territory with comparable offerings. And while Beats Music may look like a small fry alongside the Spotify colossus, the leading music-streaming service's ears likely perked up back in May when Apple picked up Beats for a cool $3 billion.
A partnership with Viacom probably can't hurt Spotify, and it might just expose the service to more users, some of whom might even end up shelling out the $10 per month for a Premium subscription. That's assuming, of course, that anyone who still watches MTV actually listens to music.

Picture aspect ratio and audio issues on the DTH and DTT platforms Zoltán Vigh Digital Transition Coordinator
Introduction MTVA is a state owned entity with approx. 2000 employees, to service the public service TV and radio channels: Magyar Televízió and Duna Televízió, as well as Magyar Rádió We purchase, produce, play out and distribute programs for these stations We manage 4 HDTV channels and 8 radio channels. M1 still has an analogue nationwide broadcast network and some programs are mainly for Hungary only M2, Duna and Duna World (TV) are European coverage channels Duna World (TV) and Duna World Radio are for the expat Hungarians living in North- and South-America, and Australia
I found these topics as a problem in the digital transition process HD quality on IPTV after downscaling and upscaling at the home on a Full HD TV set HD to SD scaling quality SD enabling if there is no HD-SD simulcast SD transrating (low quality) on DVB-C and DVB-S networks AFD picture aspect handling (head ends, STBs, TVs) Letterbox SD on a DVB network WSS signal with anamorphic PAL on the analogue network VBI Teletext transmission in the HD world Subtitling on IPTV AAC audio lip-sync issues with low cost STBs Dolby Digital mixdown capability I will show you some details in my presentation
Why HD? After several years of MPEG-2 SD test transmission, the DVB-T MPEG-4 HD broadcasting started in 2008 at Budapest area, with the Beijing Olympic Games. After this successful test, we continued the regular HD broadcasting of the public service channels M1, M2 and Duna The reasons: Today HD is the standard definition (see 4K, UHD) All new studio equipment sold are HD only All new TV sets sold are HD with internal upconversion to match the 1280x720 or 1920x1080 physical resolution of the display The upconversion of the uncompressed SDI to HD-SDI with a broadcast unit is much better in quality than done from a highly compressed MPEG-2 SD signal with a consumer chipset used in the tv set There is a 30%+ penetration of HDTVs in Hungary (approx. 1,4 million HDTV sold) The TV picture size increased from 55-72 cm to 84-104 cm, we should serve the viewers
1080i vs 720p We use the 1920x1080i/25 format, to maintain the highest resolution and match the resolution of the new HDTV sets The reasons: We have some HDCAM VTRs in use and these are 1080 only The de-interlace math became very good, so it is easy to make a good quality 1080p or 720p video for the web streaming All the European HD OB Vans are 1920x1080 @ 25i, and we can get the full resolution signal from the international events All the movies are 1920x1080 @ 24P or 25P Most of our programs are progressive style A lot new production equipment are 25/25P only but full HD resolution (Sony CineAlta, DSLR video) The people watch internet video and the progressive frame rate became wear off Due to the restricted capacity of the DVB-T multiplex, we use 1440x1080 On satellite, we use 1920x1080 raster
Digital program distribution of our channels OURSELVES: DVB-S2 (Eutelsat 9A, 11958 MHz) Full raster HD, 1920x1080 @ 10 Mbps average bitrate, with AFD picture aspect signaling DVB-T The public service is HD only (except the Duna World, due to limited network capacity), 1440x1080 @ 7 Mbps average bitrate, with AFD picture aspect signaling DVB-S (Eutelsat 9A, 11766 MHz) Anamorphic SD (720x576 raster, full raster all time: 4:3 or anamorphic 16:9), with MPEG wide signallng. This will switch off on 31th December 2014 INDEPENDENT TELCO AND CABLE COMPANIES: DVB-C (cable networks), IPTV (cable operators), DVB-S (DTH operators) Anamorphic SD (720x576 raster, full raster all time: 4:3 or anamorphic 16:9), with MPEG wide signaling DVB-C (cable operators), IPTV (cable operators), DVB-S2 (DTH operator) HD (720p, 1440i or 1920i), no AFD picture aspect signaling
No HD and SD simulcast We do not have a HD and SD simulcast on DVB-T for M1, M2 and Duna Reason: No capacity Cost Quality We will not have a HD and SD simulcast on satellite for M1, M2, Duna and Duna World after 2014 Reason: Switch to DVB-S2 and forget DVB-S Cost Quality More flexible capacity management (additional temporary or new channels) To push the migration of the old SD home set top boxes to DVB-S2 and Conax capability for future temporary encryption
Problems with the simulcast-less broadcasting Cable head ends would like to get the MPEG-2 SD transport stream to forward it as is onto their DVB-C networks (cheaper head end) Picture aspect ratio issues (see later) Country specific way, so very few equipment can handle all the requirements Higher cost of the low end set top boxes (no issue anymore, the prices gone down really fast) Education (EuroScart vs. HDMI cable connection) HD logo usage (see later) Slows down a bit the cable providers HD penetration development (they ask money for HD channels – so the free to air HD from us is against their business)
Aspect ratio handling No picture aspect defined in HD standards There are 16:9 AND 4:3 contents time multiplexed in the program (archive 4:3, new 16:9), there is no way to convert the 4:3 content to 16:9, due to quality, composition and copyright issues There is no simulcast (on DVB-T and on DVB-S2 from 2015) – must switch There is a need for picture aspect signaling in HD too, for automatic downscaling to letterbox (for analogue cable networks) or to anamorphic 16:9/4:3 full frame (for digital cable and sat networks) Very few consumer set top box has AFD capability Very few professional cable head end equipment has AFD capability Some tv sets handle the AFD in a wrong method: if they get the 4:3 code then they widen the 4:3 picture to fill the entire screen to save the display against burn in. This is not good and the user can not set the correct 4:3 aspect ration manually in some cases.
What we give to the service providers? For cable and sat operators who get our signal on fiber: We embed WSS onto line 23 of SDI video We embed AFD into HD-SDI video We embed VBI teletext into SDI video We attach stereo and AC3 encoded audio in the SDI signals We maintain time-sync of the video and audio signals For other cable operators, who get our signal from air: We require time-sync from our distributors (Antenna Hungaria, Eutelsat) We specify all the details of our multiplexes. One public service multiplex with 3 HD, 1 SD and 3 radio on DVB-T One LEGACY public service multiplex with 4 MPEG-2 SD (+ picture aspect info) with stereo MPEG-1 audio and TXT and several radio on DVB-S, switch off on the end of 2014 One public service multiplex with 4 MPEG-4 HD (+ AFD) with AC3 and TXT and several AAC high quality radio on DVB-S2
What we require from the cable and DTH operators? Our channels are must carry and we do not have any contract for distribution. Not easy situation. Transmit all part of our signal, including TXT (it's the law) and all audio channels Do not rescale the signal (720x576 to 544x576, or 1920x1080 to 1280x720) Do not re-encode or transrate our MPEG signal Handle the picture aspect ratio information according to the network Do not crop our 16:9 signal to 4:3, no center-cut enabled. We DO NOT shoot 4:3 safe, the station ID and the PG information are on the 16:9 area, and we place the captions and graphics on the full 16:9 area We ask them to use our HD signals as their source for SD too (better quality) We ask them not to use our SD signals, because it will switch off in 2014 Transmit all of our HD signals if they have a HD package We ask to place our HD signals in the BASIC tier
HD logo on screen if there is no simulcast of SD and HD How to handle the HD logo on screen? NatGeo, Eurosport, History and others has a simulcast and use HD logo on the HD stream. They use HD logo on SD original content too, and this is bad. M1, M2 and Duna does not have an SD simulcast, so the source signal is HD all the time for the analogue and digital cable networks too We mark the original HD content only with the HD logo, not the entire program, but on all platforms (HD and SD). Both are not the perfect solution: some of our viewers believe they watch real HD content on their CRT screen. This is bad. We could not find a good solution yet. If we would not use the HD logo, but our competitors do, then our viewers will say there is no HD on our channels. This is more a marketing issue then technical.
Audio formats we use ON DVB-T We use MPEG-1 Layer II for DVB-T as a primary and legacy stereo format We use Dolby Digital AC3 and a surround format for Hungarian language content (dubbed and original) We will use AAC (standardized for the Hungarian DVB-T network) for original language, but in stereo only (the home theater amplifiers does not handle AAC audio in most cases as a surround format) ON OUR SATELLITE SERVICE We use MPEG-1 Layer II for legacy on DVB-S, both for Hungarian and original language We use Dolby Digital AC3 only with the HD streams on DVB-S2, there is no legacy stereo. We use AAC for radio. The mixdown should be handled by the cable head end IRD or by the home sat receiver. SPECIFICATION!
Lip-sync issue with AAC audio We received some lip-sync issues for other tv channels (RTL, TV2) on the DVB-T network. These tv channels use AAC audio only Some low cost set top boxes used by small analogue cable operators may loose the audio-video sync after 24-48 hours continues operation. So, there is a need for a reset every 24 hours! This is not a problem with MPEG-1 Layer II, we did not get any feedback on our channels.
Subtitling The subtitling is a must by the Media Law in Hungary, to help the hearing impaired people to watch tv The time-sync is a critical requirement for subtitles On analogue cable the only widely used method is the TELETEXT We have one common teletext signal for our four channels, and we use four pages (111, 222, 333, 444) for the channel specific subtitles The TELETEXT is not impemented in HD-SDI signal format, so we should provide a time-synced SD downconverted version of the video in SDI format This SDI video with embedded teletext data then became encoded to MPEG- 2 and the teletext stream will be used by the multiplexer. The timing is critical (MPEG-2 SD and MPEG-4 HD encoding time is different). The digital cable and SAT operators can transcode the teletext subtitles to DVB-SUB format to use in their own networks There is not teletext on IPTV, the operators without their own subtitle method have legal problems

Angie is a character from Sinnoh.
Season 11: DP Battle Dimension
Angie is a girl who lives in Sinnoh. She was first seen in the episode when Ash, Brock, and Dawn, attended a Week-Long Summer School program for Pokémon Trainers. She showed her confident side by testing Monferno (as a test of the Summer Academy), telling it to hit her with Ember and Mach Punch. While doing so, she dodged the practice attacks and taunted Monferno, sparking frustration. The result was that its power grew, and it beat her up to the point of bruises, which she didn't mind.
She served as the tomboyish rival/friend for Ash, even though she develops a friendship and had a crush on him later on.
On hand
|Angie's only known Pokémon that she herself owns, she has it wherever she goes. During the Pokémon Summer Academy it became friends with Ash's Pikachu.
|Shinx ♂
|Angie received a Monferno during the Pokémon Summer Academy to train. It was her responsibility to train it for a battle later on in the day, but it had a bad attitude and wouldn't follow her orders. After Angie gained its respect, it fought for her against Ash's temporary Pokémon Raichu but ended the battle in a draw.
|Angie received Ariados for the Pokémon Summer Academy's Triathlon where it helped her gain a lead in the race.
|Angie received Lapras for the Pokémon Summer Academy's water section of the Triathlon where she used its Ice Beam to catch up to Ash and the Mantyke he was using.
|While taking care of a Lickitung for her parents, she accidentally allowed it to evolve into Lickilicky. Fearing her parents would be angry, she hid the Pokémon in its Poké Ball in a cave but it escaped and caused the people of the town to believe it was a monster. After finally gaining control over it, its Trainer came back for it, overjoyed, because his Lickitung had evolved.
|Lickitung → Lickilicky

DNS issues??
Phone = LG G2 (AT&T)
Android Version = 4.4.2
Ever since updating my phone to Kitkat, I have had DNS issues with google over Wifi connections. Whenever I try to connect to "www.google.com" (on Chrome or Firefox), it says that it can't find the DNS server, or simply that the webpage could not be found for google.com. I downloaded Opera Browser for Android, and I can connect to google.com on Opera, but not Chrome or Firefox. This issue persists over all Wifi connections i connect to. This issue only happens when I am on Wifi, not mobile data. Another weird thing is that this issue ONLY happens when I try to connect to google.com... all other webpages that I try work perfectly fine. This is an issue for me as Google is the search engine of choice among my Internet adventures. You would think that my Wifi settings need to be changed since this problem only happens via Wifi not 4G, but it happens on all the 4+ Wifi connections I've connected to. I think the issue is either with Kitkat (since the problem never happened before I updated), or my phone.
Is there a way I can change the DNS settings on my phone? I don't have root access.
Or is there a way I could (un)update to an Android version older than KitKat, so I could try there and see if the problem persists?
ANY info is appreciated!

Aside from the occasional graceless enforcer, NHL players skate so fluidly that people can forget that they're not on the most stable ground. Every now and then, that point is made clear when a high-level athlete looks like a kid falling on a frozen pond. Teddy Purcell had one of those moments when he lost an edge last night, but he threw the puck at the net and Steven Stamkos batted it in for a Tampa Bay Lightning goal.
Bruins' offensive resurgence continues with six-goal game against Stars
Are the Boston Bruins good again?
Because it is starting to look like the Boston Bruins are good again.
They were winners for the fifth time in their past six games on Sunday afternoon with a rather convincing 6-3 win over a Dallas Stars team that watched whatever remained of its playoff chances completely crumble in defeat.
Leading the way for the Bruins was trio of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak as they combined for three goals (including two from Bergeron) and six assists in the win.
The goal scoring started early with Marchand picking up his 27th of the season 5:56 into the game. David Krejci added his 16th of the season less than a minute later. Frank Vatrano and Ryan Spooner also added goals for a Bruins team that for the past couple of months has quietly started to become an offensive powerhouse since the start of the new calendar year. And that is not an exaggeration, either. Including Sunday's game, the Bruins are up to 76 goals in the 23 games since Jan. 1, a goals per game average of 3.3 that is among the best in the league during that stretch.
The Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak trio are all averaging more than a point-per-game since then, while Marchand's 17 goals since the new year are the most in the league.
Their defense still needs some work, but with the offense starting to click again and with a goaltender that is capable of getting hot and carrying them for stretches this could be a team worth watching down the stretch, especially if they can secure a top-three spot in the Atlantic Division and get that path in the postseason.
One team you will not have to be worrying about the playoffs, though, is the Stars.
After Sunday's loss they remain nine points back of a playoff spot in the Western Conference after failing to gain any ground on the teams they are chasing.
At the moment the St. Louis Blues are holding the second Wild Card spot in the West with a 91-point pace. That means the Stars would need to finish with 34 points to reach 93 in their final 20 games to pass them. That would require a 16-2-2 run to finish the year.
This has been a massively disappointing season for a Stars team that was in the second round of the playoffs just one year ago and seemed to be returning a team that should have at least been a contender in the Western Conference. Instead everything has just completely fallen apart defensively, especially on the penalty kill where they are a league worst at 73.5 percent.
This Ryan Spooner goal in the third period, off of a ridiculous pass from Torey Krug, pretty much sums it all up.
Teemu Pulkkinen is available on waivers again
It was a pretty busy day for the NHL's waiver wire on Sunday with four players — Florida's Greg McKegg, Minnesota's Ryan Carter, Zac Dalpe and Teemu Pulkkkinen — being placed on waivers.
The Wild being responsible for three of those players is obviously what sticks out there, but Carter, who just signed a one-year, two-way contract to return to the team on Sunday, must pass through waivers before he is able to join the team.
The Star-Tribune's Michael Russo has some thoughts on the decision to place Dalpe, who has appeared in nine games for the Wild this season.
Dalpe was placed on waivers I'm guessing to reset his waiver clock. He's at nine games, so if the Wild wants to send him down after tomorrow's game, he'd need waivers (and you can't waive anybody past Wednesday, so the Wild wouldn't want to get stuck).
If he gets taken tomorrow, at least the Wild can react. I can't imagine the Wild would want to find out somebody grabbed him on waivers Wednesday — three hours before the deadline, so that's why you do it today.
Pulkkinen, however, is the most interesting name here, not only because he has been on the waiver wire multiple this season, but because he is still a talented player that could be intriguing for a team looking to take a cheap chance on somebody that still seems to have at least a little bit of potential. At 25 he isn't a prospect anymore, and this is the age where you would expect him to be established as a regular NHLer, but there is still talent here.
The Wild claimed Pulkkinen on waivers just before the season began from the Detroit Red Wings, then waived him again just 17 days later. He went unclaimed.
He has only appeared in nine games for the Wild this season, scoring one goal. He has 12 goals and nine assists in 79 games with the Red Wings and Wild.He has only appeared in one NHL game since the middle of October (a Dec. 17 game against the Arizona Coyotes). He has spent most of this season playing for the Iowa Wild of the AHL where he has 35 points (18 goals, 17 assists) in 46 games.
VIDEO: Jamie Benn and David Backes fight right off opening faceoff
Sunday's game between the Boston Bruins and Dallas Stars gave us an opportunity to check in on the relationship between Jamie Benn and David Backes, and it seems that they still do not like each other very much.
Their on-ice feud continued literally as soon as Sunday's game started, when they dropped the gloves right off the opening faceoff, which you can see in the video up above. It was clear right from the very beginning that fight was going to happen given the way they were discussing things before the puck was even dropped.
These guys have been going at one another for years, dating back to Backes' days with the St. Louis Blues, and their fight (it was mostly a lot of jersey pulling at the start) on Sunday is already the third time they have dropped the gloves with one another in their careers.
Not much went right for the Stars following the fight as quick goals from Brad Marchand and David Krejci gave the Bruins an early 2-0 lead.
WATCH LIVE: Boston Bruins at Dallas Stars
The Boston Bruins are starting to get on a little bit of a roll and they look to keep it going on Sunday afternoon when they visit their old friend Tyler Seguin and the Dallas Stars.
The game will be shown live on NBC with a 12:30 p.m. ET faceoff and also be available on our Live Stream.
It's a Star Sunday with the focus falling on Seguin and David Pastrnak, while the game will also have Dave Strader calling the play-by-play action on NBC. Strader recently returned to the Stars' broadcast booth as he continues to battle cancer.

In 1902 an open design competition to design a cathedral attracted over 100 entries including designs from noted architects such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Following the purchase of a site at Brownlow Hill in 1930, Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869–1944) was commissioned to provide a design which would be an appropriate response to the Giles Gilbert Scott-designed Anglican cathedral then under construction.

Cavolo nero or black cabbage is one of my favourite winter vegetables – but it does need attention to flavouring, so as not to taste too monotonous. Here I have puréed half and seasoned it with anchovies, butter and Parmesan before folding it through long strips of cooked cabbage to create a wonderful green sauce that wraps itself seductively around the pasta.
Serves 4
1 bunch of cavolo nero
A good pinch of sea salt
40g/11/2oz unsalted butter
2 tbsp grassy flavoured extra-virgin olive oil
3 good-quality anchovies, such as Ortiz
3 cloves of garlic
75g/3oz grated Parmesan
Rinse the cabbage well to remove any dirt. Strip the dark fibrous leaves from their stalks and discard the stalks. Boil a large pot of well-salted water, plunge in the leaves and cook for five minutes. Remove and drain. Separate the cooked cabbage in half. Place one half in a bowl and the other in a food processor along with the butter, oil, anchovies, garlic and Parmesan and purée until smooth. Remove and spoon into the bowl, stirring well through the cooked cabbage. Serve with tagliatelle.

"The first in a trilogy, this beautifully scripted and drawn Korean manhwa provides a truly intimate but respectful journey in the company of a young girl and her widowed mother ... This is an exquisite and feminist-positive story richly literate and imaginative. Readers will eagerly await the subsequent volumes." Booklist
"This book has no conflict other than that common to youthful competition over boys, but it is a work of great humanity that sucks the reader in. Kim's artwork is stunning, and seldom has a male writer captured the attitudes, emotions and behavior of female characters so believably." Publishers Weekly
"Flower and water motifs course steadily through the author's erotically tinted observations of daily life, but the breathtakingly elegant line drawings of Korean landscapes elevate the use of such standard metaphors for fertility and sexuality. Furthermore, the author is able to evoke nuances of emotion from stock-character forms in a genre not known for its subtlety." Kirkus
"The lush drawings combine prettily stylized elements with richly realistic detail, and they turn even indelicate moments, such as a literal pissing contest between local boys, the monk's first nocturnal emissions, and Ehwa's shock at her menarche, into tenderly rendered, universal episodes of growing up. Though the art is black and white, the textures inked in the fabrics and details of the landscapes suggest breathtaking beauty and rich color to complement the lyrical music of the text, which at times becomes poetic." BCCB
"The expressive artwork captures both the beauty of the Korean countryside and the inner life of Ehwa and Namwon. It is a quiet, dreamy book that focuses on characters rather than plot. It should appeal to mature girls ready for a thoughtful coming-of-age story, as well as manga fans looking to try something new." VOYA
"While the book begins when Ehwa is seven and only takes her into her early teen years, the nostalgic tone and slow pacing make the title more likely to appeal to older readers. The artwork is beautiful, particularly in Hwa's depiction of the landscape and the two main characters. A good additional purchase for libraries looking for less action-oriented manga/manhwa titles." Alana Abbott, James Blackstone Memorial Library, Branford, CT, School Library Journal
"The Color of Earth gives us an intimate glimpse of adulthood seen through the experiences shared by a mother and her child. Book two comes in June, and the final book will be in stores in September." Shojo Beat Magazine


text: Have a Happier Weekend by Planning Your ActivitiesMelanie Pinola1/17/14 11:00amFiled to: happinessweekendspsychologytime management131EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Got any plans this weekend? Good! The key to a happier weekend is planning it, according to Laura Vanderkam, author of the book What the Most Successful People Do on the Weekend. Part of this is the anticipation of something you will enjoy. Business Insider says: Advertisement Advertisement Anticipation accounts for a huge chunk of happiness, which comes from thinking about the events we plan. Vanderkam writes, "As you look forward to something good that is about to happen, you experience some of the same joy you would in the moment. The major difference is that the joy can last much longer."The other thing is, when you set aside time (like, put an appointment on your calendar to read a book) you will be less likely to squander the weekend away.You don't have to schedule your entire weekend—having those days open is often the joy of weekends—but Vanderkam recommends planning three to five "anchor" events: Sponsored She writes, "Three things taking three hours apiece is nine hours of your 36 waking ones. That leaves a lot of time for sitting and nursing a scotch, if you don't have three small children, or watching 'The Backyardigans,' if you do." Happiness is having something else to look forward to besides watching The Backyardigans. (Don't know what to do with yourself? Try some of these Weekendhacker activities.)
