As a native of the islands, I have always appreciated the saying "there is no place like home". Home in the Turks and Caicos Islands is not always the best, we have our country issues like any other place, but I have learned to appreciate the things that make us a unique island in our own right. Sometimes, I have to give myself a rain check and pretend to be a tourist so that I could enjoy the island for what it is and forget about the minor things that irritate me from day to day. Sometimes living on a small island can have its disadvantages, but I have learned to live life from a positive approach.
Doing new things on the islands is like an ongoing new year's resolution. To list a few, I have experience:
- Island hopping: I have given priority to visiting all of the islands in the Turks and Caicos chain. I have already visited Grand Turk, North Caicos, South Caicos, Middle Caicos, Parrot Cay, West Caicos, and of course I reside on Providenciales. This was achieved by traveling by our local plane and via boat. Most of the islands are only a 15 minute ride apart;
- Historical sites: as I am always over excited about nature, the plantation ruins of Cheshire Hall in Providenciales, and Wades Green plantation of North Caicos was a good history lesson for me. Also, the Caves in Middle Caicos and Salt ponds in Grand Turk how could I ever forget them;
- Little Water Cay: yes I have visited our unique rock iguanas of Little Water Cay;
- Beaching: The local community take pride in our pristine white sandy beaches and picnics on holidays and special occasions is common on the Long Bay Beach, Grace Bay, Taylor Bay and Cooper Jack bay;
- Cultural market: From time to time I stop in and see what island souvenirs they have available and purchase little trinkets as birthday gifts and presents for relatives;
- Restaurants: Going out to dinner and enjoying the delicious cuisine is something that I like to do but do not do it as often as I would like; and
- Condo/hotel: Booked a condo for the night along the Grace Bay stretch and experience their amenities and services as well as found time to experience the water parks and buffet restaurants of Beach Turks and Caicos our beloved family destination spot in the island, who is also famous for their Sesame Street Characters.
And now I am yet to explore the Coral Reefs of Turks and Caicos which is one of the longest in the world, swim with Jo Jo the dolphin, Cruise at night to see the beautiful Glow worms after the full moon, take a tour in the underwater submarine, go on a deep sea fishing excursion with one of the dive operators like Provo Sand and Sea Tours, kayak, parasailing or kite boarding and the likes.
Besides these things what I most like about the island living is the community relationship that we as a people have. For instance, going to our local store IGA is always a way of catching up with friends who I have not seen during the week, because the community is small it is inevitable that you will see a few people there who you can catch up with. Or the support that you receive during a funeral, you will have people come from the various islands in the Turks and Caicos to share their condolences in your time of loss. As a community it's these small efforts that matter most.
There is no Burger King or those large fast food franchise we just have our local sweet tees' or Chicken Chicken and our many local restaurants in the various locations with delicious island foods like the freshly made conch salad at the Conch Shack or Horse Eye Jack. Again, these unique things are what I love most about living here in TCI.
On another note, just to give you a little idea about our real estate living. Most of the local population have their own homes or would rent an apartment, while more vacationers occupies the condo developments as many are purchased by investors who come to our shores. These condos are put in a rental pool and used as hotel rooms for visiting guests. There is no restriction as to who can purchase real estate in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and there are no property taxes at this time. Obviously, prices vary depending on which area you are purchasing in and which Island. We have a number of real estate agents on the islands who are apart of our local real estate association TCREA, including myself who have access to all inventory on the market that can assist you with further details of real estate. It is real estate that occupies my week on island and what makes it easy for me to take time off and explore this beautiful by nature island that I live on.
There are so many wonderful facts and memories that I can share about my island the Turks and Caicos, however, for now this is life in the Turks and Caicos as I have lived it in a nut shell.
We have many More Atlantis, Paradise Island Information, Travel Review and Attractions Articles Now Available.

Big Brother Naija has come to an end and Efe Ejeba has been crowned the winner.
However many Nigerians feel that the show has lost it's way. They are not comfortable with the sex and just "immoral" behaviour in general.
So BattaBox decided to ask Nigerians if Big Brother Naija should be banned.
Here are some of their interesting answers…
"Why should it be banned? If you want to watch it watch it. If you don't want to watch it, don't watch it?"
"It's nobody's business."
"It's not depicting African culture."
"Africa still has its morals."
"It needs to be banned!"
What do you think?
Should Big Brother Naija be banned?
Thanks for watching!

Gravel is a classification of small crushed rock that is used commercially in a variety of projects. When working with commercial gravel, finding the tonnage of gravel is a simple calculation that requires only the dimensions of the area and the weight of the gravel. This is true whether you are attempting to purchase the right amount of gravel for a walkway on your property or calculating the estimated weight of the gravel you wish to remove from an area.
Step 1
Measure the length and width of the area the gravel will be poured in or removed from.
Step 2
Convert the length to yards, if you used a different unit of measure, by dividing by 3 if you measured in feet or 36 if you measured in inches.
Step 3
Multiply the length in yards by the width in yards to find the surface area of the project area in square yards.
Step 4
Measure the depth of the area the gravel will be poured, or estimate the depth if you are removing gravel and cannot accurately measure the depth.
Step 5
Convert the depth to yards if needed, then multiply the depth by the surface area to find the cubic yards of gravel.
Step 6
Multiply the volume, or total cubic yards, by 1.35 to find the number of tons, as a cubic yard weighs approximately 2,700 pounds, or 1.35 tons.

Dwight Yorke has backed Angel di Maria and Juan Mata to flourish together at Manchester United.
Manchester United treble winner Dwight Yorke has backed Angel di Maria to help get the best out of Juan Mata.
Mata cost the Red Devils £37 million earlier this year, and Di Maria's reported £63 million fee would take the fee for the pair to a staggering £100 million.
The former Trinidad and Tobago international told SkySports he can see them linking up with great success:
"He (Mata) needs to step up to the plate and do the things that attracted Man United to him - getting on the ball and supplying the strikers – and I think Di Maria will help him.
"Man United look an average team at the moment as they are passing the ball sideways, taking the easy option and becoming too predictable and easy to play against.
"But Di Maria will go past people, take the ball 20 yards up the pitch and create space for Mata, who at the moment gets quite stifled."
Mata has scored seven times in his last eight games for United, but Yorke is right that the Spaniard has been below par in terms of supplying the strikers.
The Spaniard played more passes to Darren Fletcher than any other player against Sunderland, and failed to link up with striker Robin van Persie to any effect.
Di Maria's presence and driving runs will create more space for Mata to do what he does best, and if the addition of the Argentine does allow him and others to unlock their potential, the hefty fee will be money well spent.

In fact in every sense of the word, more is merrier is rummy games online. These cover all aspects like:
Players: It goes without saying that when you play rummy with many players the game takes on a party like atmosphere.

Players enjoy this interaction and fun filled chatter online as they play the game of Indian rummy.
Offers: The more offers there are around while playing Rummy Online Games the more fun you will have. While it is true that all offers do not suit all people, the fact that you have a lot of options to choose from makes the game more intriguing. One may choose an option that suits their current level of gaming expertise, their mood of the moment and even depending on their social contacts. This way the more offers there are the more fun you can have at all times.
Variants: This is again another factor that having more of makes it merrier. Indian rummy is basically a simple game and everyone loves playing it. But once in a while people would like to try something new and this is where the variants of the game come in. Having many variants to choose from makes the game even more fun and interesting.
Other choices: In other areas that are not related to the game but nevertheless play an important part like the banking options, the options for communication with the Rummy Online Games site or any other indirect aspect, having plenty of choice is always a definite plus.
Whether it is an aspect that is directly linked to the game itself or any of the aspects that are indirectly linked to the game, having more is always bound to make playing online rummy even more fun. To ensure that you have a merry time playing online rummy, look for a good site that offers you the following:
Good cross section of real rummy players from across the country. We are specially emphasizing the point about real players because you will enjoy this more than playing against the computer

Well, I guess we all know or have at least heard of Goethe. This is an interesting question….much has already been said and written on the subject. Some people are convinced, some aren't. W'Allahu 'alam is all I can say….
A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a booklet at the bookshop in the Bilal – mosque in Aachen (Germany) on this subject, called:
"Bruder Johann Ibn Goethe. Die unbekannte Ueberzeugung des deutschen Dichters zum Islam" by Abu-r-Rida Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rassoul which can be translated as "Brother Johann Ibn Goethe. The unknown islamic conviction of the German poet" which seems to indicate an affirmative answer to the question posed in the thread.
There is another book in German on this subject: K. Mommsen: Goethe und der Islam, Insel Verlag, Frankfurt am Main, 2001. There is even a clip (in German) on YouTube by this lady on the subject, which I have added to this post which you can see, with the title: "Goethe war Muslim".
I have also included another video (in English) from YouTube on the topic, called "Goethe was Muslim".
To end this post a quote from his "West-Oestliche Divan" (West-East Diwan), in Dutch: "In het ademhalen ligt een dubbele genade…Dank God als Hij je onder druk zet en dank Hem, als Hij je weer vrijlaat." In English: In breathing there is a double mercy…praise God (Allah) when He puts pressure on you and praise Him, when he releases you again. How much does this remind of us Mawlana Rumi who said that a wise man constantly recognizes the works of Allah in everything, even in breathing.
For those who have already checked YouTube will see that some even people even claim Einstein was a muslim. Even Nietzsche had respect for islam. More on this in a later post.

United States District Court, N.D. New York
February 25, 2014
GARY ALFORD, Petitioner,v.JOHN LEMPKE, Respondent.
GARY ALFORD. 08-A-0339, Petitioner, Pro Se, Romulus, New York, of Counsel.
ERIC T. SCHNEIDERMAN Attorney General for the State of New York Counsel for Respondent
HOMAS B. LITSKY, ESQ., Assistant Attorney General New York, New York.
DECISION and ORDER
GLENN T. SUDDABY, District Judge.
Gary Alford ("Petitioner") filed his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 on November 7, 2011. (Dkt. No. 1.) By Report-Recommendation dated September 17, 2013, United States Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter recommended that the Petition be denied and dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2), and that a certificate of appealability not issue. (Dkt. No. 16.) On October 30, 2013, Petitioner filed an Objection to the Report-Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 19.) For the reasons set forth below, Magistrate Judge Baxter's Report-Recommendation is accepted and adopted in its entirety, and the Petition is denied and dismissed in its entirety.
For the sake of brevity, the Court will not repeat the factual background of Petitioner's 2008 conviction for two counts of Predatory Sexual Assault Against a Child, one count of First Degree Criminal Sexual Act, one count of First Degree Sexual Abuse, and one count of first degree Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child. Rather, the Court will refer the reader to the relevant portions of Magistrate Judge Baxter's Report-Recommendation, which accurately recite that factual background. ( See generally Dkt. No. 16.)
A. Petitioner's Claims
On November 7, 2011, Petitioner filed his Petition. (Dkt. No. 1.) Generally, the Petition asserts the following three grounds for relief: (1) that his trial counsel was ineffective by failing to challenge the state statutes governing the indictment against him, and failing to preserve the issues for effective appellate review; (2) that his appellate counsel was ineffective by failing to address the aforementioned omission and the overall ineffective assistance of Petitioner's trial counsel; and (3) that the trial court violated his right to present a defense and to confront witnesses against him (specifically, to present Dr. Ann Leung as an expert trial witness for the defense) ( Id. at Parts 12.A., 12.B., and 12.C.)
B. Magistrate Judge Baxter's Report-Recommendation
On September 17, 2013 Magistrate Judge Baxter issued his Report-Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 16.) Generally, in his Report-Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Baxter made the following findings: (1) a finding that Petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel is procedurally barred under the circumstances; (2) a finding that Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that his appellate counsel was ineffective, largely because his appellate counsel succeeded in having two counts of the indictment dismissed, and he filed an appeal to have the remaining counts run concurrently, which significantly decreased Petitioner's sentence (so as to render irrelevant Petitioner's claim that the counts were repetitive); and (3) a finding that the trial court, in an evidentiary hearing, correctly determined that Dr. Leung's testimony would not have created a "reasonable doubt" which did not otherwise exist, because such evidence already existed in testimony before the trial court, and the appellate court concurred that additional testimony by Dr. Leung would have been "merely cumulative [sic] information that the jury had already heard." ( Id. at Part III.) Because this Decision and Order is intended primarily for the review of the parties, the Court will not recite the findings made by Magistrate Judge Baxter, and the reasons for those findings, in more detail, but will merely refer the reader to that Report-Recommendation in its entirety.
C. Petitioner's Objection to the Report-Recommendation
On October 30, 2013, Petitioner filed his Objection to the Report-Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 19.) Generally, in his Objection, Petitioner asserts the following four arguments: (1) an argument that Magistrate Judge Baxter erred through his "wholesale adoption" of Respondent's factual assertions and legal arguments; (2) an argument that Magistrate Judge Baxter erred by failing to properly review Petitioner's legal arguments and apply the legal standard governing procedural defaults; (3) an argument that Magistrate Judge Baxter erred by misapplying the law governing Petitioner's argument that, although he received a reduced sentence, his trial counsel failed to raise and preserve statutory law, and appellate counsel failed to raise this failure on appeal, which would have led to a "full reversal" and the dismissal of the indictment as "legally insufficient"; and (4) an argument that Magistrate Judge Baxter erred by ...

7.50pm: Good afternoon/evening from Louisville in Kentucky, according to whether you're on ET, GMT or something else, where the opening day of Breeders' Cup 2011 has finally arrived, even if the promised high-60s heat has not. That, apparently, will be with us tomorrow, although the rasping chill on the wind this morning suggested otherwise.
As yet, there are no reported scratching in any of the six Breeders' Cup events, and it also seems that Shared Account, last year's winner of the Filly & Mare Turf, is a definite runner in tonight's renewal having been erroneously reported a non-runner in some parts. Apologies for the late start to this live blog, that's due to some irritating (and ongoing) technical issues which I'm still trying to resolve. The air has been turning blue in the Bluegrass State, I can tell you. But if/when we're up and live, I'll be trying to get the results online faster than anyone else on the WWW, and keeping you all up to date with developing news stories etc. All comments welcome, and I'll be reading them all just as soon as I can.
4.39pm I'm in! Hurrah. Hopefully that's the end of the tech issues and we can concentrate on the racing, though I'll be tweeting results asap too on @Greg_Wood_, feel free to follow me..
At the moment Bob Baffert is talking about Secret Circle's impressive success in the opening race, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint, which was particularly notable given that he was always close to a very strong early pace.
It's 11 minutes to post for the second race, the Juvenile Fillies' Turf, where my fancy is for Somali Lemonade, though with a full field she will need some luck from stall 14. Her win last time out is worth checking on YouTube though, don't often seen horses come from last to first as impressively as that.
4.43pm: Timings are going to be local, by the way, as the powers that be reckon it's the easiest way. Kentucky is four hours behind GMT.
The vid of Somali Lemonade last time is here: http://youtu.be/6S0W2KwF8KM
4.45pm: Stopshoppingmaria is also in the next, the Juvenile Fillies' Turf. Hopefully Maria will indeed stop shopping for long enough to watch the race, before starting again with renewed vigour if the horse named after her picks up the $600k or so first prize.
Elusive Kate has looked well all week and will surely go well, though was one of those who was barred from the turf track due to rain yesterday morning. "It didn't help because I had to take her out this morning," John Gosden, her trainer, says, "which isn't ideal on the morning of the race."
4.55pm: Juvenile Fillies' Turf: 1. Stephanie's Kitten, 2. Stopshoppingmaria, 3. Sweet Cat, 4. Up.
4.57pm: Stopshoppingmaria looked to have kicked into a winning lead there but Stephanie's Kitten ran her down well inside the final furlong. Somali Lemonade looked to take a slight bump about three out, but never looked likely to pick up the leaders. Up ran well for Aidan O'Brien to finish fourth, but very few really got into the race on the tight track.
5.08pm: One of the major stars of the first day is up next. Turbulent Descent will be a very warm favourite for the Filly & Mare Sprint (though it's not really a sprint as it's over seven furlongs, but hey ho).
Back to the first race, here's the ever-quotable Bob Baffert's take on it: "After I saw those fractions, I thought, "Oh, boy", but he was doing it easy.He's just a very gifted horse, he has unbelievable speed. I was a little worried about him coming down the liane, he kind of lost focus, but he's just young. We're one-for-one now. The pressure's on. I thought going in that if he didn't run well, I might be in for a bad weekend.
5.10pm: Brian Meehan on the excellent run of Shumoos, a big outsider for the opening Juvenile Sprint but a very impressive second.
"I thought she was going to get there. Never mind, she's run really well, though. Getting beat is always hard, but she ran a great race, so we're delighted with her. She's going to remain in the US with Ben Cecil."
5.17pm: Fifteen minutes to post for the Filly & Mare Sprint, Turbulent Descent is a very solid favourite here at 9-5 on course. Switch, the subject of plenty of positive reports from good judges over the last couple of days, is next best at 7-2.
Tidying up from the last race, Elusive Kate finished eighth, with John Gosden suggesting that she was beaten by her wide draw.
5.22pm: Bookmakers are a somewhat prickly subject here in Kentucky, as they are in much of the United States, but the reps from Britain are unabashed. Boylesports have just put round a slip to say that Up has been introduced to the 1,000 Guineas betting at 25-1.
5.29pm: Late scratching: Shotgun Gulch is out on vet's orders.
5.33pm: Filly & Mare Sprint result: 1. Musical Romance, 2, photo.
5.35pm: Turbulent Descent got stopped in her tracks down the back, but still came back to hit the front in the stretch. It had taken too much out of her, though, and Musical Romance stayed on along the rail to win. Switch finished second, edging out Her Smile.
5.40pm: Post-race quotes from John Velazquez, winning jockey of Stephanie's Kitten in the Juvenile Fillies' Turf: "She was amazing. As soon as I asked her to go in between those other two horses, she responded right away. It's nice when you can ride horses like that. She's game for anything I ask her to do. That's what I like about her."
5.56pm: On we go to the top of the first-day card, with $2m in the pot for the next three events.
First up, the Juvenile Fillies'. Very impressive candidates in Grace Hall, My Miss Aurelia and Weemissfrankie, who have had three races each and never tasted defeat. I'm going to have an each-way stab at Candrea, though. She was touched off by Weemissfrankie last time, but had raced hard from the front and might just be able to reverse the form with a little more restraint. At around 11-1, I reckon it's an each-way chance worth taking.
6.02pm: Another interesting point with regard to Candrea is that she's drawn two, with Questing, who is far from certain to hit the ground running, on her inside. My Miss Aurelia and Weemissfrankie are both out wide, and evidence of the first two races on the dirt track is that the rail is the place to be in the stretch.
6.07pm: Weemissfrankie, by the way, is named after the late American character actor and director Frank Alesia, who died in February.
6.14pm: Juvenile Fillies result: 1. My Miss Aurelia, 2. Grace Hall, 3. Weemissfrankie.
6.16pm: Very impressive performance there by My Miss Aurelia, remains unbeaten after a race in which the main contenders filled the first three places. Candrea got the lead, but My Miss Aurelia was stalking throughout and brushed her aside at the top of the stretch before staying on really well all the way to the post.
6.33pm: Now 19 minutes to post for the Filly & Mare Turf, and Stacelita is a solid favourite on the pari-mutuel at 2-1. Nahrain is 4-1 with Frankie Dettori up for his only ride at the meeting, since tomorrow he will become one of the few British-based jocks around who is serving a ban for something other than a whip offence. Misty For Me and Announce also well-fancied for the Europeans.
6.38pm: Some quotes from the Filly & Mare Sprint earlier.
Bill Kaplan, trainer of winner Musical Romance: "This filly's done everything I've asked of her and more. I don't care if she runs 13 or 14 times a year, she just gets better with every shot. This is it, this is the pinnacle."
Mike Puype, trainer of beaten favourite Turbulent Descent: "She got slammed leaving the gate. She got slammed leaving the backside. Then it made her eager and she pulled her way right up to the leader. Moved too early and then she flattened out after all that. She couldn't sustain a good run. It's her first bad race. Wrong day to have it, but it happens and we've just got to move on."
In the last race, by the way, Homecoming Queen and Ryan Moore finished last of 14. Questing did much better, coming home in fifth in a very hot renewal of the race, and she's now likely to stay in the US with Kiaran McLaughlin.
6.42pm: Victory for Stacelita here would ensure a clean sweep for the American horses on the first day of the Breeders' Cup, though as someone put it earlier on, Stacelita may be trained in the US now, but "she still has a French accent".
6.46pm: Announce is a late scratch.
6.49pm: Announce was injured in the pre-race parade when bumping into the on-track ambulance. She looks to be walking okay though.
The track vet tells a TV interviewer that "she has scrapes on her right leg" and it was too close to the off to check her fitness to race.
6.56pm: Big upset in the Filly & Mare Turf. 1. Perfect Shirl, 2. photo. Stacelita had a horrible run, going best on the turn but nowhere to go in the straight.
6.58pm: F&M Turf: 2. Nahrain, 3. Misty For Me, 4. Distorted Legacy.
7.17pm: And so to the Ladies' Classic, to be run under the floodlights. Now 16 minutes to post, and it's Royal Delta, rather than the "morning line" favourite Plum Pretty, who heads the market at 8-5. Plum Pretty next best at 7-2, with It's Tricky, from Godolphin's American arm, at 9-2.
7.28pm: Steve Asmussen, the trainer of My Miss Aurelia, has been talking about his winner of the Juvenile Fillies'. "She's extremely special. She's been everybody's pick at every stage, and she came through today with a great race."
7.32pm: For anyone who missed the Tweet yesterday - @Greg_Wood_ all followers most welcome - an odd snippet about Pachattack, one of the outsiders for the Ladies' Classic, is that when she won her maiden at Glorious Goodwood in July 2008, one of the also-rans was Midday, who won the Filly & Mare Turf two years ago and will be a leading player in the Turf tomorrow night.
7.32pm: Post time for the Ladies' Classic. Royal Delta will be favourite.
7.36pm: Ladies' Classic: 1. Royal Delta, 2. It's Tricky, 3. Pachattack.
7.39pm: Plum Pretty looked to have quite an easy lead there but she folded pretty tamely in the straight as Royal Delta and It's Tricky took her measure. Pachattack stayed on for third without ever looking like getting to the winner, and the consistent Ultra Blend was fourth. The winner is the first 3yo to take the race since 2004.
7.41pm: That result is a big positive for Havre De Grace in the Classic tomorrow night. Royal Delta was no match for her last time out.
7.43pm: Royal Delta paid $6.40 to a $2 stake, sending favourite-backers home happy ahead of the nine Breeders' Cup races on tomorrow's card.
7.45pm: Wrapping up the F&M Turf, here's the quotes from connections of first, second and third.
Roger Attfield, trainer of Perfect Shirl: "I had my doubts about running her. I was very concerned because she's never been able to handle a soft course. Once I saw how she was moving down the backside, I could see she was moving beautifully and I became very excited."
Roger Varian, trainer of Nahrain: "I'm really proud of her. She ran a great race. I thought we had it off the bend."
Frankie Dettori, jockey Nahrain: "She ran an absolutely fantastic race. Last night, when I dreamt about it, I won. I had the perfect trip. She was covered up, got clear at the quarter pole and kicked on. I have no complaints.
Ryan Moore, jockey, Misty For Me: "The ground knuckled out from under her [at the break]. She was having a little trouble handling the course and did not really start running until she got into the stretch."
7.57pm: That was a very smooth win by Royal Delta, who won with Jose Lezcano beginning to ease down. It's Tricky had every chance to get one on the board for Godolphin but was beaten by a really good filly.
The highlights of the first day were the race we've just seen and the memorable performance by My Miss Aurelia in the Juvenile Fillies'. No wins for Europe so far but that will hopefully change tomorrow when Goldikova goes for her fourth win in the Mile in the final race of her career.
Many of the 40,000 punters here today will be back tomorrow, and so will I. Really looking forward to it and I hope you'll be able to join me for nine of the best Flat races you'll find anywhere in the world.
Greg Wood, in Kentucky, signing off for now.

Our Angus was married to Annie McAuly(no mention if any other marriages. There is a son John born 01Aug1833 in Isle of Sky,Argylshire?,Scotland. He married Annie McDonald. This John ended up in Gagetown,MI. Don't know anything in between. The family notes say his wife Annie died in Ontario. They had a daughter Annie born 06Apr1864 Ontario,Canada.
No mention of any other sibs for John. I don't know if there are are more and nobody has them listed or if John was an only child.
That is best I have in regards to any early John and Annie.
It doesn't look like we are related-but who knows we might still find a connection.
Do you know if very many of the McVicars came to Detroit via Canada and Scotland?

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Kennewick Police say two arrests at Target also led to the recovery of stolen property.
Officers arrested 38-year-old Roger Thompson of Shoreline, Washington and 33-year-old Kerry Jo Turner of Winchester, Tennessee at the Kennewick Target on Sunday.
Police say the two had tried to pay for a shopping cart full of items, but told the clerk they "couldn't remember" the PIN number for the card.
However instead of leaving, officers say the two continued to shop. Police say while officers attempted to verify that the card was stolen, they saw the man dumping credit cards. Police say they determined the man and woman had been trying to use stolen credit cards and identification that actually belonged to a woman in Union Gap.
Officers say upon further investigation, they learned Turner and Thompson arrived in a stolen 1999 BMW out of Seattle, and both had several warrants out for their arrests. Police booked the two for possession of stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property and the warrants.

Man, 21, charged in Nunavut triple slaying
A 21-year-old Cambridge Bay man charged in connection with the shooting deaths of three people in the remote Nunavut community will appear in court Friday, RCMP say.
Christopher Raymond Bishop is facing three counts of first-degree murderin the deaths of Cambridge Bay residents Keith Atatahak, 28, and Kevin Komaksuit, 21,and Edmonton resident Dean Costa, 29.
All three were found shot to death outside a home in the community of 1,500 in the early morning hours Saturday.
Bishop also facestwo counts of attempted murder in relation to two other peoplewounded in the attack.
Police believe a high-powered, semi-automatic rifle was used in the killings.
"I'm sure the community is relieved that someone has been charged with this crime," said RCMP Cpl. Randy Slawson.
Although Slawson wouldn't speculate on a motive, he did say the three appeared to have been deliberately gunned down outside the home of the suspect.
"It wasn't a random act," he said.
Not a 'drinking party'
Slawson also said the shooting wasn't due to a social affair that got tragically out of hand.
"It wasn't a drinking party or anything like that. These people were known to each other, but they weren't together during the evening."
Bishop will appear in court in Iqaluit on Friday.

Please note the following corrections for the Professional Learning Funding Chart *** NOTE: Only 75 SCETF Members may attend the

For professional learning resources it also expected that you would ask for approval if you want to be reimbursed. Also, please review what you want to purchase is a "professional learning" resource and not a "teacher resource" book or "student focused tool." A professional learning material would help you as a teacher – focus on teaching methodologies and classroom management. A teacher resource book is something that aids the students in their learning. So if you bought a song book or a games book or something like "ABC Activities" these types of purchases would not be reimbursed. You should check with your teacher-librarian to see if they have an allocation of funds for such books or contact your administrator.

Fabulous 8.6 From 519 reviews
Love the hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff made us feel at home. Lots of activities and family friendly
The Resort is nice i will not lie, just plan on the cleaning people taking things that aren't theirs... I was told that there was no cleaning done on Sunday's n that was fine w me. On Sunday i left my room n when i got back i had a tidy room n some money i left on the nightstand missing. As if that was not bad enough all that the manager did was take a written statement n that was it. They didn't even try making things right by comping an 11$ charge i had pending. They lack professionalism n customer service. They all smiles n wonderful to u but as soon as an issue arises they turn their back on u. Also b ready to feel pressured into going to their time share presentations as aoon as u walk into the building.
Loved it.. would definitely go back.
The hotel would deserve 3 Stars. I think it was a bit over priced because the rooms look really old and they didn't feel very clean. It kind of had an old furniture smell too it that was not too pleasant. It was nice to have a suite with a Kitchenette and the Store at the lobby offers everything you might need and then some! Also take note that there is no maid service on Sundays. The staff around the hotel was very nice, but the ladies at the front desk were on the rude side. They wanted to charge me $100 if I stayed 15 mins past check out. One morning, I had arranged with my friend who has a personal driver to pick me up so I could get some medicines. As I was about to leave the hotel I noticed 2 guys with radios following me while talking on the radio. I boarded the car and 2 minutes later a police motorcycles signaled us to stop a few blocks ahead. They were accusing the driver of being an Uber and they showed us pictures the 2 men from the hotel took of me getting into the car. Apparently in Mexico you are not innocent until proven guilty, but instead guilty automatically if some men from your hotel take pictures of you and call the police on you! They even threatened to take me to the police station if I didn't tell them that he was indeed an uber driver. I begged them to let me go so I could get the medicines, but they had me there for almost an hour. At the end they impounded the car and let me go. The manager said it was the taxi drivers and not them.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

The Rich Jerk wants to show you "Exactly how He make's Millions"
Hi, Rebuilt
It is always possible that an insurance company would total out a car if the estimates for repair exceed the acv (actual cash value) of the car by the insurance companies standards. Some of them go by Kelly Blue Book, Nada, Black Book, and some have even created there own valuation system. But with that said … if you really want that one.. take it to a mechanic, and then take it to a body shop and have them check the frame.. Just remember you will not be able to ever get full coverage insurance on this car either .. so that is something to think about to.

Room for Love
" A hard-hitting tale of an unconventional relationship "
"Romance is dead." So says Pamela Green, middle-class and middle-aged – a romance novelist suffering from writer's block. Then, on a bridge crossing over the river, her unsettled life collides with that of a ragged young man. He's survived for months on London's streets, by his wits… and his looks. Under extraordinary circumstances Pamela invites him into her comfortable suburban home. There, in spite of obvious differences, they soon come to form an unlikely partnership, their once separate lives revived in stark new directions... An intense hothouse drama, fierce, true to life, Room for Love is an original graphic novel unafraid to play with fire.
ILYA has written a series of blogs about the making of Room For Love here.

I have often read from Romans 8 at gravesides. But it was only last night, as I lay in bed, that these words really struck home. 'Nothing can separate us from the love of God.' So much is transient in life but God's love is secure. We will be separated from many things and people, but we will never be separated from God.
Another text that comforted me is found originally in the book of Isaiah, and then quoted by Matthew. 'A bruised reed he will not break; a smouldering wick he will not snuff out.' Jesus is our gentle brother, our loving Lord, and our merciful Saviour.
Last night, as I lay in bed, thinking about God I was comforted by these and other scriptures and reminded how great it is to know such an amazing God.

Hip-Hop artist Moise Morancy was traveling on a bus when he saw a drunk man touching a 15-year-old girl sitting next to him inappropriately. Morancy could not just sit and watch so he stepped in.
"So I saw him creeping on the inside of her leg," Morancy said.
"I said if you touch her, you're going to have a problem with me," he added.
A man recorded the incident. Luckily what could have been a tragic encounter was averted thanks to Morancy's courage.
The police, however, handcuffed Morancy as well as the 36-year-old accused harasser identified as Pablo Levano, but released Morancy after figuring out that he was actually a hero.
A NYPD sergeant thanked Morancy for helping the girl and police to arrest Levano, who is now charged with forcible touching.
"I forget his name, but I want to say 'thank you'," Morancy said. "He said, 'You're a hero' and shook my hand and said I was you 20 years ago and that touched me."
"I had to do what I had to do for the girl," Morancy added. "And I urge other men to step in to intervene when someone's being sexually assaulted. It's disgusting!"
The hero got a rose from the thankful girl a rose as a token of gratitude.
The sergeant said that I was "the rose that grew from concrete." ?? My debut mixtape "CHRONICLES OF A GHETTO ROSE" COMES OUT NEXT MONTH!!!! ?? pic.twitter.com/7NxmS0rNRJ— Moise Morancy (@moisemorancy) October 26, 2016
Morancy uploaded the video on Facebook, where it went viral with thousands of shares and several messages appreciating him for saving the girl from a pervert.

Rare Earth Elements for WSJ
Last month I spent some time on the California/Nevada border photographing a rare earth mine, the only of its kind in the United States. The open pit mine, which was a leading producer of rare earth minerals since the 1950's, suspended mining ore in 2002 due to complaints that the mine had leak several hundred thousand gallons of radioactive water into the desert. Soon after, China became the dominant producer eventually controlling 97% of the world's output.
Why does any of this matter? Well in a bitter twist of irony, rare earth minerals are a central component of many of today's green technology: everything from hybrid cars to wind turbines compact fluorescent bulbs to water purification systems. In fact most technology today needs these elements. Cell phones, laptops, sonar & radar technology, LCD & plasma televisions, headphones & microphones, optical lenses on digital cameras, scanners and copiers, all rely on rare earth minerals.
Our access was in the form of a two hour escorted tour. These things are a dance. They try to show you what they want you to see, while you try to get access to what is important to the story while also keeping in mind that you need enough to flesh out the story. If you push too hard in one direction, you run the risk of them dragging their feet and you end up wasting time in only one place or miss another opportunity. Fortunately I was traveling with the writer for the article who has had experience with the subject. This gave me the opportunity to benefit from his questions, leaving me only to ask things when I needed it. It was also a distraction so that I could wander a little without feeling the weight of oversight. I got enough, but probably only what they really wanted to share, but more than I expected frankly. It was an interesting exercise.

i am all ears and i am all yours..
i received something special in my mailbox today and it was such a pleasant surprise from the usual stash of bills, junk mails and subscribed magazines that we normally get.
i got a handwritten card from my friend the millers.
other than wedding invitations and invitations cards – it has been a long time since i received a handwritten card. it is such a nice gesture don't you think? if you ask me in a world full of everything, what do we all crave? a human touch.
i have made a simple decision as of yesterday. from now on, when i am with someone, i will not check my phone, i will not look at e-mails or read bloomberg news and i will devote my 110% attention on them.
i want to listen hard to what they say, not just listen but really listen to every word that they say. i want to stare deep into their eyes and feel a sense of what they are saying, without them even saying it explicitly.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: The Framework is Unlikely to Return
- By
- 8 Comments
Don't expect Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to revisit The Framework during its fifth season or any season that may follow thereafter. After an explosive season 4 that was complete with a tantalising cliffhanger in the finale, the producers and writers behind Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are gearing up for the team's next set of adventures. Although S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 is in active development now, the series won't actually return until early 2018 (following the first season of Marvel's Inhumans airing on ABC this fall).
While Phil Coulson, Daisy Johnson and their fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took on Ghost Rider in season 4, as well as the Darkhold and Life Model Decoys, one of the most significant portions of the series took place in a virtual world called 'The Framework'. But will this digital world return to cause problems in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 5 and beyond? Well, best to not hold your breath.
Speaking to EW's Spoiler Room, EP Jeff Bell expressed serious doubt that S.H.I.E.L.D. will ever return to The Framework again:
"Everything we do is based on not wanting to repeat our selves. We're trying to tell different kinds of stories and show our characters in different situations. The last thing we want is for people to say, 'Oh, they're trotting that thing out again.' If there were a way to tell a fresh story with something else to say, I think all storytelling is on the table."
The Framework placed the characters in a world where Hydra were in control of society. It gave audiences a look into what the MCU might've looked like if things hadn't worked out so well in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It brought back old characters and changed everything for Daisy, Coulson, Fitz and Simmons. While it's a sensible idea to not constantly reuse a large plot element like The Framework, it's also a world of possibilities. It could open the door to plenty of expansive story ideas for Coulson and Co. to tackle. According to Whedon, some members of the show's production team really loved The Framework – enough so that there's still a small possibility that it might return one day:
"The Framework opened up a lot of ideas and a lot of possibilities, and our head of post keeps reminding us of that, because he's the biggest fan of the Framework, and he thinks it should be its own spinoff show."
From what the producers have said, it seems like they're open to the idea of the Framework returning in the show at some point, but not anytime in the near future. It could be used as a multi-episode story arc enveloped in a larger plot that the team have to deal with – but it seems unlikely that we'll see it return in the next season. The three-act structure of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4 worked well, and really helped the show flow to its final destination. But for now, all focus should be going to where Coulson ended up at the end of season 4 and who put him there. Will Robbie Reyes and the Ghost Rider return too? Who knows.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns for season 5 in January 2018.

The Dolphins evidently deserve an assist in helping the New York Jets beat New England last Sunday. That game was changed by the unusual call of Patriots player Chris Jones pushing a teammate to help a potential block on a field-goal attempt. That resulted in Jets' kicker Nick Folk, who missed from 57 yards, getting a second chance from 52 yards that he made for the game-winner in overtime.
Referees were made aware of after a similar play was made by Baltimore on Dolphins kicker Calvin Sturgis' missed 57-yard field goal at the end of the game two weeks ago, NFL.com's Albert Breer is reporting.
No flag was thrown that play, the Dolphins sent video to the league and referees were put on notice to call that play. So here's the outcome of that. The Dolphins lost their game when that wasn't called. And they helped the Jets beat the Patriots when it was.

Self-Watering Rectangular Planter-32" is rated out of 5 by 7.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Catalina from functional & stylish We like that this planter is self watering. we also like the dark brown wicker-look and it is great outdoors.
Date published: 2015-04-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amynavywife from Gives the house great curb appeal! What I love about these planters, and why I ultimately bought all of them, is that you can have a matching set of all types of planters that give my home curb appeal and aesthetic cohesiveness. Improvements was the ONLY place I could find this for the variety of planters I needed for our house. They seem to be of great quality too! I bought the 32" planters so the self watering insert is separated in two different inserts. So you can't really have one center plant, but two centered plants. The plastic outer part is good, but ours came a little warped, but you can't tell it from the street. We have these mounted under the our front dormer windows; the brackets don't come with the bolts to do this, you have to get them yourself from the hardware store. The brackets are really user friendly and makes it easy to remove the planter; you just slide it up. I haven't used the self watering part yet, I plan on doing that next growing season, since I got these during the fall. I can't say enough great things about these planters! Love them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by kinghenry from love love love looks fantastic, and ease of use, perfect for a place on the deck where I do not have water available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Only1purple from Self Watering Planters are perfect. I purchased a planter last year. It held it's appearance in the outdoor weather. So. I purchased two more this year. They are heavy duty and look great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by McRich from Extremely good appearance and function I only ordered one of these planters at first, as I wished to see if it would fit my deck railing and also to determine the quality. I was not disappointed and then ordered a second one. The appearance and quality of these planters is superb.
Date published: 2014-04-30
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nascarchick from These match my outside furniture I bought 3 of these are they are fantastic. They matched my outdoor furniture. I am using these as a planter on a brick wall. I originally bought them to hang from a wooden rail small deck but the brackets were not very good for my application. They need to explain that better. Those were sent back. But this planter has great quality and I love the look of them. Very durable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CottageCharm from Best Quality We Have Found Perfect and Beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. This is a very well designed product. Wicker type weave is very realistic and shows nicely from street. Self watering feature really works and the plants love it. Roomy interior is enhanced by easy to plant bins (we have longer units) that drop in. Quality not found at Big Box garden centers. We are impressed!
Date published: 2012-05-08
What are the dimensions exterior and interior?
The interior is roughly 30"x6"x6" .The exterior is 32"L x 7"D x 7"H .
Date published: 2018-04-17
Mounting the planter box
Are any forms of railing attachment available? Does the self-watering planter box come with any mounting materials?
This item comes with 2 screws. This does not come with anything to attach to railing.
Date published: 2017-04-29
can these brackets be used to attach to a chain link fence?
Thank you for your question. The brackets can not be used to attach the planter to a chain link fence.
Date published: 2017-01-14
Has anyone used the window brackets to hang the planters?
I see you can purchase window brackets, but the lack of pictures and description do not give an accurate depiction. How do the window brackets 'hang' from the windows? Are they sturdy?
Thank you for your question! The brackets are mounted with mounting screws, which are included. They have a hidden slot so that the brackets are not visible. Please see the attached Instruction manual for visual reference.

My thoughts over a the weekend in sports.
How bad did the Cavs look? It was like they felt sorry for the Nets and decided that this game didn't matter. Like it was a game in December rather than Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. They had a chance to deliver a knockout blow and they wasted it by playing like they just didn't care. They were get beat to lose balls, had careless turnovers (LeBron's at the beginning of the fourth quarter when he started pointed around and Richard Jefferson poke the ball that was just sitting in LBJ's other hand off him and out of bounce sums up the careless TOs perfectly) and, for the first time this series, were out rebounded. All signs of lack of focus.
As bad as they played, and especially shot the ball, they weren't really out of it until the final four minutes. (My brother kept saying the Cavs would pull a head at the four minute mark and then hang on to win. Instead, at the four minute mark, Cleveland fell down by 11 and threw in the white flag two minutes later. Good call Brother.) The good news is it's hard to imagine the Cavs playing that lackluster again. It hopefully will light a fire under the Cavs, especially LeBron, and get them back on track and get LeBron to dominate down the stretch again. The bad news, it gives the Nets hope for the series. Instead of being down 3-0 and done for, all they have to do is win on their home floor tonight and it puts all the pressure on Cleveland. Everyone knows what the Cavs have to do win. Rebounding and defense are the key with LeBron and Hughes attacking more and not settling for outside jumpers. We've heard it before and heard it all year after bad loses. Now it's up to Cleveland to take care of business.
As painful as it was to watch the Cavs, it was more painful to listen to Bill Walton announce the game. I used to be about the only one who like Walton. I thought he was funny and unique. Now I've joined the "We Hate Bill Walton Fan Club" like everyone else. I was close to joining the club during the first round when he said "Shaq has been directly responsible for the past nine NBA Champions, win or lose." Well, Saturday's comments have pushed me to join the club. Here's what he said, not quoted directly but close enough.
"All Anderson Varejao is looking to do is fall on his back and flop. He just abuses the rules of the game. I don't think Dr. Neismith had flopping in mind when he invented the game."
This was said during the second quarter. During the third quarter he said something close to this…
"The New Jersey Nets should just be taking it right to the basket. Cleveland has no shot blockers. Zydrunas Illgauskas is 7"3' but he's not going to block any shots. Drew Gooden isn't a shot blocker and all Anderson Varejao is trying to do is fall backwards and flop."
As Walton finishes the sentence, Varejao was in perfect position to take a charge but ended up blocking someone's shot and grabbing the loose ball and starting a fast break for the Cavs. All while Walton is still going on about Varejao flopping.
Finally, for a third time, Walton said something along the same theme, again using the phrase "all Varejao wants to do is fall backwards and flop." This time, Walton's play-by-play guy (I think Mike Tirico but not sure, sorry) said, "yeah, you've mentioned that a few times."
Come on, Bill. Really? Does it bother you that much that you have to attack Andy three times during the game. He must really hate the Cavs.
If that wasn't bad enough, Richard Jefferson had a real nice dunk in the third quarter I believe. Walton, showing his hatred for the Cavs again, said it "was the dunk of the playoffs." Really? He must not have watched Friday night's Warriors-Jazz game when Baron Davis gave Andrei Kirilenko the facial of all facials. Good try though, Bill. I'm ashamed to say I have your autograph.
Speaking of the Warriors-Jazz series, the only thing more annoying than listening to Walton was seeing the decibel level meter during the Warriors game. I thought that gimmick when out with short shorts. Everytime the Warriors scored you could expect to see the decibel meter reading. It's sad when you know everytime the meter is coming up. Even sadder that they still use it at all. But it was nice of ESPN to show us just how loud a decibel is. They showed a chart that said 60 dB is normal conversation, 98 dB is front row at an orchestra (good example because all basketball fans now what it's like to sit front row at an orchestra) and 140 dB of a military jet takeoff. They only thing worse would have been if they would have shown won of those "Applause O'Meters" that they actually show in the arena. We get it ESPN, it's loud in the Oakland Coliseum. We don't care if it's at 95 dB or 110 dB. That mean's nothing to us.
Since TNT didn't use the decibel level reader on Sunday night's telecast, maybe that's why the Warriors lost their first home game of the playoffs. Fans at home didn't know how loud it was in there and it indirectly led to the fall of Baron's Warriors.
Quick thoughts…
I'm going to miss Baron Davis and the Warriors in the playoffs.
The Tribe is maybe the most frustrating team to follow in the majors. They have a good record but they look awful.
I can't wait until Adam Miller replaces Jeremy Sowers in the Tribe's rotation.
Phil should have just thanked Tiger for not showing up to play this weekend, since he thanked everyone else. But if Tiger let Butch Harmon go, then got better with a new coach and Phil picked up Butch, can Phil ever really catch Tiger?
Rafael Nadal will never lose on clay courts, or half grass, half clay courts.
Brett Farve, my favorite NFL quarterback, is right to be ticked off but he'll have a monster year before he retires (of course a monster year for him now will just mean more TDs than INTs).
Cavs win tonight 98-91 and close out the series in Game 5.

Best Potential Landing Spots for Tampa Bay's Jonathan DrouinJanuary 18, 2016
Best Potential Landing Spots for Tampa Bay's Jonathan Drouin
Jonathan Drouin and the Tampa Bay Lightning appear to be inexorably headed toward divorce.
It's been two weeks since his trade request became public knowledge, with Bolts general manager Steve Yzerman acknowledging the request in a statement but adding that his "sole intention is to act in the best interest of the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey club."
Since then, the rumours have multiplied, but a trade has yet to transpire. Things seem to have heated up lately, though.
On Monday, CTV's Brian Wilde reported that a "strong" unnamed source had confirmed that the slumping Montreal Canadiens were making a "huge push" to get a deal done. This comes on the heels of Friday's report from French-language broadcaster TVA that a deal could be done within 24 hours.
Given the amount of chatter around a potentially imminent trade, it's worth asking which trade destinations make the most sense for Drouin. That's what we'll answer in the slides that follow.
Anaheim Ducks
Why it makes sense: Anaheim is that rare team with the combination of a need for offensive talent and the potential trade chips to get Tampa Bay excited about sending away a player of Drouin's caliber.
It's also not like the Ducks are rich on the left side. Newcomer David Perron sits at the top of a depth chart that includes Andrew Cogliano and Patrick Maroon but decidedly lacks a difference-maker. Anaheim has rotated various second-tier options through that position over the years; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Who he might play with: Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry make a great deal of sense as potential linemates. Alternatively, Drouin could shore up the second-line duo of Ryan Kesler and .
Potential wrinkles: General manager Bob Murray knows his club is considered a front-runner by the press, but made his reservations known to Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times.
"We know he's there, but there's a few others out there, too, that haven't requested trades," Murray told Elliott. "Requesting trades on entry level, that's something new for you and I. ... Entry-level players requesting trades. Amazing."
Minnesota Wild
Why it makes sense: The Wild are a legitimate contender, but few teams currently in possession of a playoff spot have struggled more to score goals. Drouin would help, and furthermore there's a logical lineup hole in Minnesota's top-nine forward group. He'd also fit in nicely with a mostly young Wild core.
Who he might play with: It's pretty wide open. Justin Fontaine is the most obvious candidate to bump out of the top nine, which would leave a slot next to Charlie Coyle open. Drouin could move in on left wing, with either Nino Niederreiter or Thomas Vanek taking the right wing slot (while the other played with Mikko Koivu and Jason Zucker).
Potential wrinkles: The Wild are a team that might prefer to husband its ammunition for a player with a better chance of having a massive immediate impact. Drouin will be a costly acquisition and the assets used might be better expended on a centre.
Montreal Canadiens
Why it makes sense: Montreal is on a brutal run, having won just four of its past 20 games. Earlier this year, the Canadiens were one of the best teams in the league and at their best combine strong goaltending and a capable defence corps with a serviceable group of two-way forwards.
The addition of Drouin might help shake up a struggling group, and he would certainly add some firepower to a less than stellar offensive cast.
Who he might play with: Drouin probably isn't going to slot ahead of Max Pacioretty, particularly given the way Montreal likes to use its top line (in a fairly hard-matched power-vs.-power role). That makes him a more logical fit for second-line duty, possibly with Alex Galchenyuk back at centre.
Potential wrinkles If Drouin lands in Montreal it's going to be interesting to see what the deal looks like. The Habs can offer a pretty decent selection of futures, but there probably isn't a player on the roster (or at least, not one Montreal would move) who is an ideal fit from the Lightning perspective as a centerpiece.
Nashville Predators
Why it makes sense: The Predators are watching a playoff spot in the West slip from their grasp. The situation is so acute that the club recalled top prospect Kevin Fiala from the AHL this week, plugging him in on the top line immediately with Ryan Johansen and James Neal.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures," was general manager David Poile's explanation to Adam Vignan of the Tennessean.
It goes without saying that Drouin would be a significantly better top-line option than a winger with just six goals over 34 games in his second season in the minors.
Who he might play with: Johansen and Neal are logical collaborators, though head coach Peter Laviolette could also hypothetically match Drouin with second-line pivot Mike Ribeiro.
Potential wrinkles: There's an obvious need on Tampa Bay's roster for a right-shot defender who can move the puck. Nashville had a really good one in Seth Jones but doesn't have depth at the position now and would need to find another way to put together an appealing package.
New Jersey Devils
Why it makes sense: The Devils forward corps is almost entirely lacking in both quality young players and first-rate offensive talent. Drouin would be a significant shot in the arm to a franchise that needs exactly that. Additionally, New Jersey has a pretty decent collection of both forwards and young defencemen; this is a deal where they probably have the assets to pull off a trade that makes sense for both sides.
Who he might play with: The Devils have two centres with any kind of offensive presence (Adam Henrique and Travis Zajac) and two right wings who can say the same (Kyle Palmieri and Lee Stempniak). Mike Cammalleri is the team's only significant left wing, and he's mostly played with Henrique and Stempniak, leaving Zajac and Palmieri as logical linemates for Drouin.
Potential wrinkles: As with Montreal, it's entirely possible that the Devils and Lightning will be competing for the same playoff spot. Only three points separate the two teams right now, and New Jersey might not be interested in helping Tampa Bay sort out its defence if the primary return is a player currently in the AHL.
St. Louis Blues
Why it makes sense: The Blues definitely have the ability to make a deal work. Right-shooting rearguard Kevin Shattenkirk would be a wonderful fit in Tampa Bay and has been almost as subject to trade rumours as Drouin. Alternately, St. Louis could employ Robby Fabbri as a centerpiece to get a deal done; he's a fine young forward from the same draft class as Drouin.
Who he might play with: The Blues have a bunch of good options, and coach Ken Hitchcock has a tendency to shuffle his lines. Having said that, the duo that likely makes the most sense for Drouin is centre Jori Lehtera and star winger Vladimir Tarasenko.
Potential wrinkles: The real question is whether St. Louis wants to pay the price for a forward who is a bit of a gamble this year. St. Louis has 59 points this year, and while iis third in the Central it would be leading two other NHL divisions and is a legitimate contender. Drouin has long-term upside, but there's a risk that he doesn't mesh immediately.

coach of the year
Hoke has been Coach of the Year in MAC, MWC and B1G
As of today, Coach Hoke has been named coach of the year in the MAC (2008), MWC (2010) and B1G (2011). Has another coach ever received this recognition in three conferences?
Vote for Rich Rodriguez Coach of the Year
You have to register, but it only takes a second. Here is the addy:
Am I suggesting that Rich Rodriguez will deserve this award at the end of the year? In a word, no. No way of knowing.
Am I suggesting that Rich Rodriguez is most deserving today? Well, no, but he's top 5 in my book. In terms of in-game coaching that ND game was near flawless. It's really hard to make a case for anyone other than Kevin Sumlin of Houston though.
Do I really care if Rich Rod deserves the honor or not? In a word, no.
Do I think it would be a nice little F-you to everyone trying to work against RR and the program? Absolutely.
Do I think general support for RR could help recruiting and the general well-being of the program--yeah, maybe.
Do I see absolutely any harm that could come from voting for Rich Rod? Absolutely not.
Do I think the general response to my earlier post has earned a ridiculously high idiot rating with a distinct douchebag aftertaste?
You be the judge.

Khloe Kardashian is mourning the loss of Lamar Odom's best friend.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star is devastated after Jamie Sangouthai - who was one of the basketball star's best men at their 2009 wedding - passed away yesterday (14.06.15) at the age of just 37 following a reported heroin overdose.
Alongside a broken heart emoji, she tweeted yesterday afternoon: "When does it stop? RIP Jamie Sangouthai."
Khloe's estranged husband is said to be "beside himself" by the loss of his former school friend and occasional business partner.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Lamar is beside himself. This is the worst tragedy."
Another source added: "This is so sad. They were best friends, like brothers. Lamar is going to take this really hard."
While Lamar has yet to comment on the news, 30-year-old Khloe's close friend Malika Haqq is also saddened by their pal's passing.
Alongside a photo of herself, Jamie, Khloe and Lamar, she wrote on Instagram: "Thru good and bad times life shows us every spirit matters and leaves a print on the hearts of others after they have passed... RIP Jamie Sangouthai #GodHelpUsAll.(sic)
Jamie was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment after emergency services were called on Sunday, but died at the medical facility.
