Bettman's Salary More Than Doubles, Kids in Somalia Still StarvingPosted by: | Comments
As reported by ESPN (since this is about the only thing they can report about hockey), Gary Bettman has seen his worth double during the post-lockout NHL. SportsBusiness Journal initially reported that the commissioner's current salary comes in at $7.5 million, which ranks him last among the big-4 commissioners: Selig of MLB, Goddell of the NFL, and Stern of the NBA (whose salary is undisclosed, but is rumored to be in the neighborhood of $10 million).
This fact regarding our beloved commissioner's money-making prowess can certainly be interpreted in different ways. Bettman works for the owners, and if the owners are making money, he's going to make money, which the article clearly points out, stating that the NHL's total revenue has soared by almost $1 billion during the post-lockout era. So when considering this, it would appear that the state of the NHL isn't as bad as it seems. And therein lies the problem.
The top priority for league commissioners (next to making his owners happy) is to improve the image and the brand of the league he represents. I think most, if not all, would agree that Bettman has done nothing to live up to those standards. Take into account 2 lockouts that destroyed 1.5 seasons, numerous franchises having to relocated due to lost revenue (which is somewhat ironic considering the above), and www.firebettman.com and you have all the evidence you need.
Even consider this most recent Stanley Cup Final, when Alex Burrows' chompers and the Vancouver Kissing Couple grabbed more headlines than the champion Boston Bruins. Whether or not the constant negative attention the NHL receives falls on the shoulders of the commish can certainly be debated, but its undeniable that the image of the NHL has gotten consistently worse under Bettman's regime. With all that said, its pretty shocking to me that his salary has increased so much after the lockout, even with all the seemingly negative press that surrounds the league. Bottom line: Bettman isn't going anywhere if he keeps making the owners money…and they'll just keep feeding him more along the way.
A Lot to Like, But a Few Things in ParticularPosted by: | Comments
The 2010 portion of the Rangers season is now completed, with the Blueshirts sitting right in the thick of the Eastern Conference standings. Pretty comforting stuff considering that this has traditionally been the portion of the season the Rangers find themselves struggling for an identity. We've seen it all too frequently: a strong start, a mid-season collapse, and then a strong finish while trying to secure a playoff spot. While there are many positives and negatives to take from the first 38 games, there are a few things in particular that make you feel good about this year's edition. The common thread in these elements? Conditioning and depth!
1) The Rangers have 13 road wins, most in the NHL – Navigating an 82 game season is a tumultuous task, especially when you consider cross-country flights and late-night bus and train rides. To keep focus and have enough gas to win these games regularly says a lot about this team. More importantly, 5 of these games have been 1-goal games and another 3 have been 2-goal games. A lot of that points to Lundqvist, who gives them plenty of goaltending early and late to silence the crowd and keep them ahead to finish the game off.
2) The Rangers have 8 shorthanded goals, tops in the NHL – Typically an elite unit, the Rangers penalty-kill ranks only 12th at this point in the season (still respectable, however). But while they have maybe slipped a little by their standards, they have excelled in finding ways to score while a man down. Four different Rangers have scored SH goals this year, which points to the team's depth in this area. Brandon Prust is tied for the league lead with 3. If you would've told me that Brandon Prust was going to lead the league in anything except for PIM and fights, I would've asked for some of what you were smoking. Shorthanded goals are always momentum changers in either direction (see Carter, Jeff), and having them at your disposal can go a long way
3) The Rangers are 16-0-0 while leading after 2 periods, and 9-0-0 on the back-end of back-to-back games – These two things more than anything point to the Rangers fitness and depth. Being able to roll 4 lines and get scoring from everywhere allows the Rangers to stay ahead and come back fresh day-in and day-out. It also points to Lundqvist (as always) and the fact that they have a capable backup in Martin Biron. This also doesn't reflect the number of times the team has come back in the third period when down, another testament to their depth and conditioning.
So you have a team that is good on the road, can score when down, can hold on to a lead, and can play day after day. In my opinion, the fact that the Rangers get production and contributions from all 18 skaters each night is what keeps them fresh. The key injuries that they've had this year (Gaborik, Prospal, Callahan, Drury) would typically bury other teams (see Parise, Zach). Tortorella has also been quoted saying that no team in the league has more days off than the Rangers, allowing them to keep their legs while other teams may be winded in the third period. I find this statement pretty ironic though, considering that it always seems the NHL jams the Rangers schedule up (9 games in 13 days anyone?). Regardless, its nice to see the coaching staff managing the rigors of the season nicely.
Trade Winds: Rangers Acquire RW Chad Kolarik from ColumbusPosted by: | Comments
As being reported from various media outlets, the Rangers have acquired Columbus Blue Jacket RW Chad Kolarik in exchange for LW Dane Byers. Originally drafted #48 overall by the Rangers in 2004, Byers played in only 6 games for the Rangers, tallying a single point, that being a goal against the Minnesota Wild. Kolarik was drafted 199th overall by the Phoenix Coyotes in the same 2004 draft and subsequently went to fulfill 4 years of eligibility at the University of Michigan. Kolarik has appeared twice for the Jackets this season, and never got his name on the scoresheet.
As an avid fan of the University of Michigan, its always nice to see one of their former players finding their way into the Blueshirts organization (still trying to get over Al Montoya). Kolarik captained the Wolverines his senior year and was a leading candidate for the Hobey Baker (along with teammate and eventual winner Kevin Porter) until an injury sidelined him for a key part of the stretch run. He averaged nearly 20 goals per season in college, which is solid considering most teams only play 40 games. Kolarik has had some success in the AHL, averaging roughly 50 points in 2 seasons. He is a very skilled skater with speed and quickness who can play with some grit and create chances for his own, which is just the type of player Tortorella enjoys. I don't see him being anything more than minor league player this season, with the potential to be called up to fill a roster spot in the event that someone gets injure.
As for Byers, it seems that the Rangers are content with the oversized players they currently have on the roster. The 6'3" winger wasn't able to make a consistent impact at the big league level. The Rangers probably see more potential for Kolarik in Tortella's system, and Byers will have to try and find his niche in the Columbus organization.
In-Game Blog: Rangers vs. IslandersPosted by: | Comments
Pregame: It's already started. Brandon Dubinsky and Zenon Konopka (???) were getting into it during warm-ups. Nothing too crazy, just a lot of jawing back and forth. Avery felt the need to get into it at some point also. You gotta love that no matter either team's successes/failures in recent years, this is still a heated rivalry played with tons of emotion. Be interesting to see which team can harness that emotion and use it their advantage as the game progresses.
Couple of noteworthy things: AHL sensation PA Parenteau is in the lineup for the Islanders. Once a dependable member of the Hartford Wolf Pack, Parenteau made in onto the Isles and now has a shot at his former organization. Also, the matchup between Lundqvist and DiPietro will finally be renewed. These two had some great duels against one another when DiPietro was healthy, so it should be exciting to see how this one plays out.
Update 1:18pm: Nice tempo to the game. Both teams have established the forecheck and have had some decent scoring chances up to this point. Derek Boogaard had a nice rebound opportunity in front of the net but couldn't put it home. Nice to see the 4th line putting on some pressure. Couple of big hits being thrown around as well, most notably Derek Stepan (<3) along the boards on Andrew McDonald. This kid can really do it all.
Few empty seats in the lower tier of the Coliseum. Its true there isn't a bad seat in the house there, but you have to wonder how many companies actually observe Columbus Day.
Update 1:22pm: Well that was quick. Brandon Prust and Konopka drop the gloves. Very evenly matched combatants. Real long fight that was easily a draw.
One of the biggest improvements I have noticed so far in the young season is the Rangers play in the neutral zone. They are sound both defensively and when moving the puck in between the blue lines. Read More→
Dylan McIlrath = YouTube SensationPosted by: | Comments
Hello all. After a long hiatus, I'm finally back doing posts here. Forgive my almost year-long absence. The recent NHL entry draft seemed like a good enough transition point for me to re-enter the blogosphere, and something about a recent top-10 pick has me pretty riled up…
A lot is being said about the Rangers newest first-round pick, Dylan McIlrath, the brutish teenage defenseman from Moose Jaw (Canadian city names, eh?). While the move perplexed the majority of us Blueshirt fanatics, I quite honestly didn't know how to feel about it. That was until I did some research of my own over the weekend. After undertaking the usual Google search of our newest defenseman, I decided I wanted to see some full-motion video and went on over to YouTube. I was at first quite shocked to realize that a seemingly obscure 18 year old Canadian junior hockey player had more than one link to his credit on the world's most popular video site. Then, I was flat out impressed by what I saw. The common theme in these videos: nobody gets the best of this kid. Was particularly moved by the fight with John Stampohar (same build, and 2 years his elder). What's more impressive is that you see him come to the aid of his teammates in a few of these videos. Maybe Dan Carcillo would have thought twice about mixing it up with Marian Gaborik if a player like this was an established presence on the ice at the time. That to me is equally important than any plus/minus or point total. You can only hope that with NHL level coaching, this kid can one day blossom into what Chris Pronger has been throughout his career
That Messier Guy is BackPosted by: | Comments
ESPN reports that Mark Messier has taken a position in the Rangers front office as a special assistant to general manager Glen Sather. The report mentions that this may be the first stage in Messier assuming the post of general manager when Slats finally hangs it up.
Nice to see Messier taking a more active role in the front office as the years have gone on. He's has always hung around the Rangers organization after his retirement, and this move shows me that they acknowledge and recognize him in such a way they want him to stay around longer (because honestly, who wouldn't?). Speaks volumes as to how the Rangers treat their esteemed alumni, with Rod Gilbert seemingly everywhere you look and Adam Graves also having a role in the front office.
Go see the CaptainPosted by: | Comments
Chris Drury was at a team event yesterday signing autographs and received several questions about his new teammates. One question that stood out to me was when he was asked about new Rangers enforcer, Donald Brashear, and how the team would respond to him after he nearly decapitated Blair Betts during the playoffs last season.
I don't think any guys will have a problem. If anybody does, they can come see me
Its a little hard to capture what he really meant behind that statement when its written in a newspaper article. In my opinion, I think Drury is finally (and hopefully) comfortable being this team's leader. There's no more Shanny, no more Gomez. There's no question now as to who is the leader of the Blueshirts, and perhaps Drury now feels more sure of himself.
Will The Real Nik Zherdev Please Stand Up?Posted by: | Comments
Well, its finally official. The Rangers have officially said no to Z's $3.9 million award, making him an unrestricted free agent. Zherdev's value and upside have been discussed ad nauseum on this and other Rangers websites, and hopefully this will be one of the last posts in an otherwise tragic story of seemingly untapped potential. Even though it removes a scoring threat from an already anemic offense, the departure of Nik Zherdev and the way it all transpired speaks volumes of who this guy really is and how people really see him. And when you consider the chain of events, it was really a no-brainer.
Consider this…at just 24 years old, and having only played in two full 82-game seasons, Zherdev has amassed 99 goals and 239 points. All these totals were achieved on relatively stale, offensively-inept teams. But when you also consider that the Columbus front office and head coach Ken Hitchcock, whom is very well-respected in hockey circles, repeatedly clashed with the young winger, it makes you wonder where this kid's head is at. Zherdev actually went as far as threatening the Jackets to remain in Russia if his contract demands weren't met after his 27-goal season in 05-06. The Jackets broke down and decided to pay him $7.5 million over 3 years. How did Zherdev respond? By putting up 10 goals and 32 points in 71 games. Columbus or not, if you demand that kinda cash and claim to be a rising star in this league, you need to perform, regardless of where you're playing. Zherdev rebounded the following year with 26 goals, but the coaching staff still failed to get the youngster to reach his maximum potential, and his work ethic was called into question. The Columbus front-office decided they had enough, and traded him to the Blueshirts for essentially nothing. Don't get me wrong, Fedor Tyutin is a great defenseman and I loved him when he played in New York. But a sniper's value is a whole lot more than a defenseman's.
His time in New York was short spotted. He got off to a promising start, and after some spectacular dangling and stick work, everyone thought they got through to him. But somewhere along the way, he just fell off. There was no injury, no sickness, no talk of any dispute with coaches or the front office. He just stopped playing. We can't even blame it on Tom Renney, because it continued after he was cut loose. When Tortorella arrived, he made it very clear to everyone that there was going to be accountability. Zherdev was benched for periods on end on more than one occasion, and he never responded mentally or physically. Even after 23 goals in the regular season, fans and coaches were still wanting more. And when push came to shove in the playoffs, Nik Zherdev was just abysmal. His playoff stats don't even tell the story, because its hard to tell a story with a bunch of zeroes and negative numbers. He was skating in mud and quicksand with a lead vest on him, and many of us were caught screaming at the TV for hours begging him to finally make a play….and it never came.
The truth is that Nik Zherdev is a poison for any franchise Not a poison the way Terrell Owens, Brett Favre, or Jessica Simpson are, but a much more dangerous one. You don't see or don't hear how infectious he really is until you're cured of him. He doesn't speak bad about his teammates, his city, or the front office. He literally does nothing but play hockey, and its difficult to motivate him to do that to the best of his ability. You almost wish he was more outspoken to show you that he actually cared. But it seems he only cares about taking the ice 82 times a year, playing hard when he wants to, and demanding absurd money when the season is over. Can you imagine what his work ethic would have been if he was given the $4+ million he was asking for? Credit Glen Sather for not giving in. That now makes 2 NHL executives in less than a year that have been more than happy to see Nik Zherdev walk out of their locker room for very little in return, and in the Rangers case, nothing. Now, Zherdev is without a home in the NHL, and will likely head back to Russia. He has burned some serious bridges along the way, so its probably best for him to go back to his roots and figure it all out. Hopefully for his sake, he fires whatever person is giving him advice and learns to find a love for the game he once had. Maybe I was a bit harsh on him here, but it bothers me to see a player of his talent simply go through the motions and think he is entitled to whatever he wants. The fact of the matter is that this is still a young player with a ton of potential. But until he gets his head right, no one will ever regret the day they let Nik Zherdev pack his bags and walk out the front door.
Our Very Own Paul Bunyon Has Left UsPosted by: | Comments
Paul Mara has signed a one year deal to go north of the border and play for the Canadiens. I thought this deserved its own post, so we could at least stare at that perfectly groomed rug one last time. In my opinion, Mara was a great acquisition several years ago and brought stability and leadership to the Rangers blue-line. Not only did he bear a striking resemblance to the mythological lumbarjack of Michigan, but he also looks a lot like another figure who has found himself in the media pretty consistently as of late. We all knew the Rangers weren't going to re-sign #27, as his age and the pool of prospects at the position continue to grow. Either way, I'm sure we all feel a little saddened at his departure. I know I do.
Aside from that, what an offseason the Canadiens are having. Scott Gomez, Hal Gill, Brian Gionta, Paul Mara, Mike Cammalleri, Jaroslav Spacek, and Travis Moen. Each brings a little something and more to the table. Think Bob Gainey is feeling the pressure?
Prospect Profile: Matt GilroyPosted by: | Comments
With all the commotion of free agency and Glen Sather's dedication to add scoring, its easy to forget about the defensemen the Rangers have in their system. Among them is Matt Gilroy, who signed a 2-year $3.5 million deal on April 17th, 2009.
BIO: A native of Long Island, Gilroy, 24, played high school hockey for St. Mary's, where he was captain and won two New York State Championships in the process. He then began his junior hockey career playing for Apple Core in Long Beach and later played in the British Columbia Hockey League. Gilroy was an accomplished forward during his junior years. After a stint with the Walpole Junior Stars in the ECHL, Gilroy walked-on to the Boston University Terriers in 2005-2006. With no forward positions available, Gilroy made the transition to defenseman, where he contributed immediately.
In his freshman year, he played in all but one game, tallying 8 points with a +21 rating. In his sophomore season, Gilroy blossomed, garnering his first of three All-American honors. He was named assistant captain and played in every single game, netting 26 points with a +18 rating. Gilroy's junior year was more of the same, again playing in every game while scoring 21 points with a +17 rating. It was at this point, however, that Gilroy began turning heads and started to become a legitimate NHL prospect. He was garnering so much attention that he even told BU Head Coach Jack Parker he was going to test the NHL free-agent waters after his junior year, and likely leave the team after he was signed. As a result, Parker gave Gilroy's scholarship to another player, but Gilroy ultimately decided to hang around and finish up his degree. Since the scholarship was no longer his, however, Gilroy's played his senior year without a scholarship. Not much changed though in terms of Gilroy's on-ice contributions.
Gilroy dominated college hockey as a senior, reaching career-highs in almost every category. The team captain helped lead BU to their third Beanpot title in 4 years and again led the team in plus-minus. Gilroy's accolades included his third All-American selection, a feat accomplished only by fellow New York Ranger Chris Drury and Rick Meagher, as well as the 2009 Hobey Baker Award as the nation's top college hockey player. Gilroy's last college game was the National Championship against the Miami-Ohio Redhawks. With his team trailing 3-2 and less than a minute to play, Gilroy pulled off one of the most unselfish of plays in a clutch moment, assisting the game-tying goal (fast-forward to 5 minutes to see the goal). BU would eventually go on to win, and Gilroy would round out his college hockey career as one of the most decorated players ever.
SCOUTING REPORT: 6 foot, 2 inches. 202 pounds. Excellent hockey sense, responsible defenseman. Rarely found out of position. Great ice vision. Excellent puck control and passing ability. Good two-way player. Exceptionally strong skater. Character player, who can project as a future captain. Leads by example. Does not have a great shot. Will not use his body as often as he should, but will use it when necessary. Projects as a second-pairing defenseman
BSB Analysis: It's hard for me personally to say anything bad about this guy, having the same roots here on LI (his hockey career turned out a little better than mine though). What I love about Gilroy is that those roots are humble. Being a walk-on at a major university could not have been easy. He knows he has to earn everything he plays for, and should have little trouble mentally adjusting to the NHL. Having Chris Drury nearby also helps, as he was instrumental in bringing the BU blue-liner to the Rangers. His play in the title game and being named assistant captain in just his second year at BU really shows you the type of leader he is and what the other players in the locker room think about him. His plus/minus ratings while at BU are simply staggering. That and the fact that he only missed one game during his 4-year career really stand out to me. Durability, versatility, responsibility, and leadership are probably his best attributes, and those alone can take you a long way. When they originally signed him, I believed they were going to move him back to forward, given the Rangers ineptitude for offense and the deep depth chart on the blue-line. With the changes in free agency and the new regime beginning to take shape, I don't see that happening anymore. As a prospect, Gilroy has a lot going for him. He is 24, which is several years older than his fellow prospects, and he already has a big contract. Ultimately, I think Gilroy makes the team as a defenseman out of training camp for those 2 reasons alone, but mostly because of his poise and moxy. He just doesn't seem like the type of player who will get rattled when things go south, and us all being Rangers fans, we have seen plenty of newcomers do so.

I had company coming for supper on Sunday. Nothing fancy. I love the slow relaxed gathering around the table for Sunday Suppers. I made a lovely Stillwater Farm roast chicken, collard greens and a warm potato salad. But the best part of our Sunday Supper this week was this Almond Cake with Caramelized Blood Orange Topping. Pretty, huh?
This recipe idea began when I shopped last week at our local market and asked the man in produce if they had any blood oranges. He got so excited, and said he just got them in and was so glad I asked! Well, now, didn't I feel seasonal!
I peeled and sliced them as soon as I goth home, and when I put those blood orange slices in the caramelized sugar, I had to start taking pictures!
It's the height of the citrus season for me. I depend on the thick skinned, brightly colored edibles for many reasons… a winter color fix, vitamin C, fresh fruit goodness, acidity when we are eating braised foods and heavier dishes, salad toppings, and more! Carrying this seasonality into a dessert is such a nice way to put an exclamation point on that!
This almond cake is adapted from Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery cookbook. You can't go wrong with that, right? It is an almond paste base, with a tendency to be a little dense (if you're not Thomas Keller).
To insure this cake comes out light and tender, remember the following:
-cream the almond paste with caster sugar (if you can find it – it is fine grained and much lighter that granulated sugar),
-the butter needs to be chilled when added to the almond paste sugar mixture, and
-make sure your eggs are room temperature when added to the mixture.
We have this great new southern regional nectarine infused whiskey, and so I added that as the flavoring for the almond cake to introduce the citrus to the cake batter. You could use grand marnier, too.
Just one layer to this cake. It's pretty rich.
When cooled from the oven, I sliced the cake through the middle, adding the compote to the middle and the slices of caramelized blood orange to the top. This cake doesn't need an icing.
A dusting of the top of the cake really set the color and shape of the blood orange slices. This is a delicious seasonal dessert utilizing blood oranges. I hope you enjoy trying it! Simple but kinda fancy. Bon Apetit!
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 7 oz Almond Paste
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoon Honey
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoon Liquor
- ⅓ cup All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- 4 tablespoon Water
- 3 Blood Oranges
- Confectioners Sugar
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare an 8 inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper, the butter and flour the bottom and sides.
Cream the almond paste and sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer with the paddle attachment and mix until light and combined. Add the butter cubes and mix on medium high until light colored and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
- 2. Add the honey to this mixture, combine, and then add the eggs, one at a time. Mix on medium low speed after each egg to incorporate the eggs without breaking them.
- 3. Add the whiskey, flour and kosher salt, and mic just until all is blended. At this point you do not want to deflate the eggs.
- 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the oven until just brown on top and springs back when touched. This should be about 23 - 25 minutes.
- 5. Transfer to a rack to cool for 5 minutes, the remove the sides of the springform pan to prevent further cooking after the cake comes from the oven.
- 6. When cake is fully cooled, using a long serrated bread knife, cut the layer in half horizontally to prepare the cake for the compote filling.
- 1. To make the caramelized blood oranges for the cake filling and topping, place the sugar and water in a heavy bottomed sauce pan on the stove over medium heat.
- 2. Stir sugar and water until it becomes bubbly and just starts to turn amber in color. Remove from the heat.
- 3. Add the orange slices to the caramelized sugar sauce and return to the heat to simmer for about 3-4 minutes. The orange slices will release additional liquid into the caramel sauce. This is ok.
- 4. Carefully remove the orange slices with a spatula onto a platter, trying to maintain the integrity of the slices. Return the syrup to the stovetop and allow to reduce and thicken a bit. After it has thickened (it will have taken on a beautiful red color) pour the syrup over the orange slices and allow to sit until you are ready to assemble the cake.
- Place half the blood orange slices on the bottom half the almond cake layer. If some of the slices have broken apart, just go ahead and mash them into a compote. Spoon some of the syrup onto this layer.
- Place the top half onto the cake and arrange the remaining caramelized blood orange slices on top.
- Dust the cake with confectioners sugar. Pour remaining syrup onto the plates as you serve them, or you can pour it around the base of your cake on the cake plate. The syrup makes a beautiful accent and sauce for the cake as it is served.

Here Is What Your Periods Are Saying About Your Health!
1. Light flow indicates you may have pituitary gland or thyroid issue
If you are taking birth control pills, then you do not need to panic if you have light flow because that is usual. But if you do not take birth control pills or any kind of non-hormonal IUD yet you still have light flow, then there is a chance you have a hormonal imbalance. Dr. Adelaide Nardone, from Brown University, says light flow may indicate to thyroid or pituitary gland related problems. There is also a some probability that you suffer from Mullerian anomaly. This is a disorder that causes a malformed hymen, which may impede with your menstrual blood flow. Oddly, light periods can sometimes also be linked to autoimmune disorders and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
2. Cervical or uterine polyps can cause sudden bleeding throughout periods
If you have sudden or unrelated bleeding to the normal cycle then you are having a breakthrough bleeding. This is a normal side-effect if you are taking birth control pills, otherwise you should consult your doctor. Breakthrough bleeding can sometimes be a sign of uterine or cervical polyps, which results due to too much estrogen in the body. However, it can also indicate fibroids or other similar infections. Such bleeding from the vagina can also indicate cancer.
3. If you suffer from severe and unbearable cramps which last for a couple of days then you must consult a doctor
If you have intense cramps during your periods, and think it is usual, consider you are making a big mistake. According to Dr. Daniela Carusi, who is director of General Gynecology at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, young women often think they need to endure the intense cramps they are experiencing, but that is definitely not the case. It can be harmful if they do not talk about them.
4. If your menstrual cycle is late and there is are chances of pregnancy, you are most likely having hormonal imbalance. Consult your doctor if this is the case
If your menstrual cycle is late, and there are some chances you are pregnant, then it is great. However, if there is no possibility of you being pregnant, there are several things you should know. According to Doctor Carusi, you may not have regular ovulations or you might have PCOS, which makes knowing your fertile days more difficult for you. In case you are obese person or have very low percent of body fat, you may be dealing with a severe hormonal imbalance. If so, it is time for you to change your lifestyle. Since insulin resistance directly affects the ovaries, women who have irregular periods, and are obese, need to check if they suffer from diabetes type 2. If this is your case you need to contact your doctor immediately.
5. If your menstrual discharge has saturated red color, very similar to "cranberry juice", it means you have a normal secretion. However, if your secretion has any other color the "cranberry juice" one than you may have estrogen imbalance.

The Spirit of Christmas
I love Christmas movies and Christmas decorations. I love yummy Christmas food and Christmas candy and Christmas drinks. I love joyful Christmas songs and the beautiful Christmas cards. I love the cool Christmas weather and the sweet fragrance of Christmas spice in the air. I love vivid, colorful wrapped Christmas presents under the Christmas tree-what a sight.
The bigger question, however, is; do I love Christmas?
With everything I just wrote about the lovely pageantry of Christmas, you would think so.
Think again.
That first glance of the season for me is the Christmas tree at Wal-Mart, all dressed in its magnificent splendor……Days!, I say!….Days before Thanksgiving!?
"Bah, humbug!"
I give it an intense, distain expression which reaches to the depth of my Ebenezer Scrooge soul, where it sits and seethes.
"Bah, humbug!"
Just the thought of Christmas arriving, getting closer and closer in time, causes a shiver down my spine- an eck in my throat.
"Bah, humbug!" I say again.
Each year, I experience the same thing.
But then, something magical begins to happen.
The nearer Christmas gets, with every heartfelt, uplifting Christmas movie I watch, with all the Christmas decorations glow and hues of color I delight, with every single morsel of Christmas candy, food and drink I consume, and with the perfumed scent of Christmas spice and cool weather delightfully experienced— that Ebenezer Scrooge soul changes into that wonderfully feeling, we call—
"The Christmas Spirit".
Yes, it happens every year; it can't be escaped. The Christmas Spirit sneaks up and grabs our Scrooge sour disposition and takes us into that breathtaking transformational world of hope, promise, kindness, and charity.
It is the time of giving and receiving, a time for forgiving, and a time for consideration and compassion for others. This is the time to remember it is about love and good will and opening our hearts.
The Christmas Spirit is the enchanted world of possible dreams and promising visions. During the holidays we are brought back to a childlike state of wishful minds and the carefree faith of childhood, enfolded into optimistic innocence, simplistic warmth and untainted courage and strength.
The carefree confidence of childhood is where the goodness of the human spirit resides; it is the goodness of humanity.
The goodness of humanity will always be Love; it is the unique, everlasting phenomenon of life. We may not be able to touch it, smell it, or quite understand it, and we may even at many times be confused by it. But it is real, just as the Spirit of Christmas is real.
As we grow from childhood to adulthood, we leave behind the belief of Santa but the belief of love lives on. The Spirit of Christmas, that boundless sincerity of love, the giving of one's self, is never outgrown and always lives within us. We just have to reach in, grab it and live it.
And if, somehow, the remembrance of the fundamental meaning of Christmas is overlooked, forgotten or fades, and sometimes even fought over. Do not fear all you Hum Buggers out there like me, for each year, we are renewed again.
The true meaning of Christmas will forever be a communal celebration of Love.
We do possess the knowledge to keep Christmas well.
For the spirit of Christmas fulfills the greatest hunger of mankind. ~Loring A. Schuler
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Hong Ki officially joining professional bowling tryouts
This is not a plot for a new K-drama: Actor Kim Soo Hyun, and actor-musician Lee Hong Ki have sent in a formal application competing to become professional bowlers.
Cr: Daum Blog via
With the exception of attending the movie premiere of Train to Busan in July, Kim has largely remained out of the public eye this year keeping busy filming his latest movie Real, and, now we know, he's probably been focused training to join the professional bowling league as well. His love for bowling is not out of the blue. In a 2014 fan meeting Kim said, "I spend most of my free time enjoying bowling. I usually bowl with a 14 or 15-pound ball."
Cr: Lee Hong Ki's Instagram
Lee is a fellow actor joining Kim in turning his hobby into a profession. His company, FNC Entertainment, said of the F.T. Island vocalist, "He's preparing to become a pro-bowler, while also preparing for his concerts. Please give him your support." The aspiring pro-bowler has shared his many visits to the bowling alley to his Instagram followers; several posts showed him achieving perfect strikes too.
The first round of selection matches will be held on Oct. 22-23 with the second round held the following weekend on Oct. 29-30. We will find out if both men make it into the league when the final list of professional bowlers are announced mid-November.
May the odds be ever in both of your favor! Who wants to play bowling with these two?

A dried banana is not a banana chip and it's not really dry. It's much worse. Dark brown and shriveled, it's soft and feels slightly greasy-some might even say slimy.
But boy, does it taste great. Sweet and mellow, dried bananas melt in your mouth. And like fresh bananas they pack a nutritional punch with lots of protein, potassium and other vitamins and minerals.

Fitness that Feels like Fun
Did you enjoy jumping rope, swimming, playing tag, or riding your bike as a kid? You probably didn't realize it was exercise because you were having fun. Well, working out can be fun. As long as you're physically active every day, you're getting exercise. Once you know your fitness level, think about lifestyle activities that can help you reach your exercise goals and enjoy it, too.
Gardening, yoga, and walking are simple activities that many people enjoy. They are also good alternatives to traditional exercise. Do not overlook them just because they are easy, or because you enjoy them. If you do any of these gentle exercises regularly, you will improve your overall health.
Got kids? Stroller fitness and other activities with children make sense for busy parents. While many moms are motivated to lose weight gained during pregnancy, stroller fitness and similar programs are great ways for the whole family to build healthy habits. Studies have shown that when parents provide good exercise examples, their kids are more likely to maintain healthy weights and fitness levels throughout their lives. Talk about a win-win situation!
Got older kids? Play around.Playgrounds are not off limits to parents! Start a pickup game of basketball or challenge your kids to some backyard badminton. Before you know it, you have yourself a workout.
Working overtime? You can stay fit even when you are in the office all day. Working in a little exercise at work is smart, and it can be as easy as doing some neck and shoulder stretches at your desk, taking a walk at lunchtime, or stashing a set of handheld weights in your desk - and then using them, of course.
Take a hike, or get back on your bike. Take dance lessons. Try canoeing or kayaking. Whatever you do, keep moving your body to look good, feel good, and be healthy. Want more suggestions? Check with your doctor for specific exercise advice, or ask the fitness expert [link to Courtney's blog] about other activities to keep your exercise habit, and your body, going strong.

Date(s) - 11/09/2017
9:00 am - 8:00 pm iCal
Orange Hall Gallery at SUNY Orange
Opening Reception on Nov 4 will feature pianist Geoff Hamburg playing classical and contemporary music. From November 2-20 in Orange Hall Gallery, the exhibit on view will be on a timely, yet seemingly constant topic – war. Titled' War in the Arts: Redeeming Spirits', the goal is to express what war does to the human spirit, the community, the family, ethnic groups, countries, historically through present day, and then to reflect upon that and relate through one's art form. This is not intended to be political. Artists have used paintings, drawings, sculptures, assemblages, collages, photography, embroidery and fabric, animation, video, and poetry to reflect and relate their personal reactions to war. Also, on Friday, November 3 at 6pm the film Art in the Face of War will be screened in the gallery. The exhibit, reception, and film screening are free and open to the public.

Breakdown of Fat Types
in Various Oils
Saturated Fats - the bad fats which are
known to raise blood cholesterol levels
Monounsaturated Fats - the good fat
which can lower blood cholesterol level
Polyunsaturated Fats - in between fat
which has some good and bad properties
Trans Fatty Acid - a man-made fat which is worse
for you than saturated fats. These are made when cetain oils are heated (see below) and
are also present in foods which contain hydrogenated oils such as margarine. If you use
margarine buy one that is non-hydrogenated. Read food labels and avoid all products which
contain hydrogenated oils.
The following points regarding the above graph should be
Notice that Olive oil has the largest proportion of
monounsaturated fats. These are the "good" fats that are desirable in your diet.
Also of note is the extremely large proportion of
saturated fat (the "bad" fat) in coconut oil. This is common of other tropical
oils such as palm oil. Palm oil is the oil that got a lot of attention when it was
discovered that movie popcorn was being popped in this evil oil.
While Canola oil appears to be the best oil of the bunch
due to its low amount of saturated fat and relatively high levels of poly and
monounsaturated fats, the benefit of the high levels of monounsaturated fat in Olive oil
outweigh the benefits of lower levels of saturated fat in the Canola oil. Another
important factor which should be considered is the fact that Olive oil (as well as Peanut
oil) does not breakdown into trans-fatty acids at high heat and can therefore be used in
cooking. You should avoid cooking with oils other than Olive or Peanut oil.
Butter and margarine are also outlined above. Different
types of margarine will have different proportions of the above fats. If you cook with
margarine (ie-fry foods) the heat will create trans-fatty acids in the margarine (even in
non-hydrogenated margarines) so in this instance you would be better to use butter which
does not breakdown in the heat. Better still is to switch to Olive oil because then you
dont have to worry about trans-fatty acids or saturated fats. Margarines which are
made with Olive oil make a good choice but your best bet is to avoid them all together
because there is not a lot of benefit that comes from eating margarine or butter.
To summarize, use more olive oil, avoid tropical oils,
eliminate hydrogenated oils and trans fatty acids from your diet. These are simple steps
towards good health.

It feels like ages since I've added anything to the blog, and to be honest it has been……ah well. Anyway, Rebellion is looming and it brings me to highlight one of the great things about the festival. At the B&B I stay at there are a couple of guys from Leicester and we get chatting every day. One of them has a son in a band, Ivy Mike, and he gave my Brother in Law a CD of theirs and I now have a copy……and its pretty good. I have had a look on Youtube and the below is a track by them called trees…..fucking ace I'd say…..
Its a link because I cant remember how to embed 🙂
Just wanted to say I am really pissed off because I was hoping to see the Rabble this year but they have 'taken a break'…..not fuckin happy at all…….Definately feels like its going to be an OI! fest this year.
I also had to cancel part two of my sleeve…the car needed work and the garage needed money….
Anyway, I have now posted and can look forward to Rebellion without feeling guilty. Who knows, I may even write something else before then.

Law & Order: SVU Review: Romancing BensonTeresa Lopez at . Comments
Finally! An SVU episode with both exciting drama and captivating romance.
"Hunting Ground" was a great outing with plenty of suspense. Unlike others this season, the search for the serial killer focused less on plot twists and more on the detective work. Watching the team work together to uncover the identity of a dangerous killer was way more entertaining than the predictable and convoluted plots of previous installments.
I always feel the show is at its best when each of the detectives brings their own angle to the investigation; although Benson and Amaro seemed to take the lead on the case, each of the detectives spent some time unraveling the mystery. Even Munch used his liberal politics to try and reason with the editor of the Downtown Voice, despite his protests about the possible violation of the paper's civil liberties.
But I think what I enjoyed most in this episode was watching the budding romance between David and Olivia. After agreeing to take it slow, the two enjoyed a movie date; however, they aren't too keen to share their romance with their coworkers yet, so they went to see a film they don't think anyone they work with would enjoy: The Artist. It was smart of them to see if things were going to work out before involving their bosses and making a clear professional divide, but I think their relationship might be affecting their work already.
Despite the fact that David is cool-headed and logical about their relationship, it's clear that he really wants something serious with Olivia. "I'm not going anywhere," he says. But, is that true? Harry Connick Jr. was only signed-on for four episodes and next week's promos indicate some problems for the pair. Will they split up so soon?
I would hate to see them call off their relationship so quickly because they seem to be working on a really healthy one. Benson has some really bad habits when it comes to friends and families. She's stubbornly loyal, which is a good thing in the right circumstances and a very bad trait in others. On top of that, she doesn't mind calling in a few favors now and then. Her unfailing loyalty means that she expects the same behavior from those around her, even if it's not the right thing to do.
We could already see her start to use her relationship with David to get him on her side for this case. It's really destructive and it could damage their relationship, especially at this early stage.
Luckily David didn't agree with her plan to attack the newspaper for its advertising and he didn't let himself be pressured into taking up her cause. He responded reasonably to her concerns and managed to keep their personal life out of their work without hurting her feelings. David definitely seems mature enough to have a strong and lasting relationship with Olivia.
Do you think they have a future together?
David eventually caved on the issue of the Downtown Voice, but only because the magnitude of the killer's crimes made Olivia's point much more compelling. Or did it? Is David breaking his own rules for Benson and will he make this a habit?

Great Businesses Build Great Applications
Well-built applications can make a big difference for businesses in providing better experience and services to customers. Great applications also help attract new customers in larger numbers. We at Ejyle know what it takes to build high-performance web and mobile applications with the best user experience for our clients.
The Internet has revolutionized the way people obtain information, buy and sell products and services, and consume entertainment content. Millions and millions of people use Internet on daily basis and the growth continues to be phenomenal. This is no surprise that now-a-days many businesses, educational institutions and other type of organizations have their own websites to take their information, services, and products to the Internet. A website allows a business to offer information, products, and services to potential customers 24/7 and usually the actual physical location of the business is irrelevant. For most businesses, there is no better, easier, and more cost-effective way than having a well-built website to attract more customers, be more competitive and increase revenues.
One of biggest challenges of great web design is lack of control one has over the medium through which web content is delivered to end-users. There are many considerations that need to be taken into account in order to deliver web content reliably to the widest range of audience which include:
Small and portable devices like tablets and mobile phone have seen massive growth for the last few years and ironically PC monitors too have not only become flatter but larger as well. Moreover, many other type of devices now support delivery of web content like gaming consoles, TVs, car dashboards, etc.
Designing web content for different type of browsers and devices is obviously not realistic. Instead, you need a technology or some sort of technique that allows your web content to respond to different devices and browsers automatically – this is when responsive web design comes into picture.
Responsive web design in itself is not a different technology. It is rather a set of techniques, principles and practices based on different set of web standards and technologies combined together to produce responsive web content.
Ejyle has developed many responsive web applications for different customers that support devices like PCs, laptops, notebooks, iPads, iPhones, Android phones, Android tablets, and so on.
Millions of users around the world are no longer buying and using mobile phones only for making calls or sending and receiving text messages. They want to send and receive emails, upload pictures, browse the web, read news, play games, search for content and socialize with friends on their smartphones. Platforms like Apple's iOS, Google's Android, RIM's BlackBerry, and Microsoft's Windows Phone have made it possible for millions of users to use rich applications and access the web on their mobile phones like never before. This has created a massive and booming market for companies to provide services and products in a unique way to millions of smartphone users. Ejyle's mission in the mobility space has been to create innovative and specialized smartphone applications to help companies to maximize engagement with their customers.
Ejyle offers the following mobility services:
Most of the existing websites were never designed for smartphones and tablet devices. Moreover, a website designed for a browser on a laptop or desktop computer may inherently be unsuitable for a much smaller device with much smaller resolution like iPhone. However, more and more companies want their websites be designed for these smartphones and tablet devices as well. Fortunately, a complete re-design and development of an existing website may not be needed at all. Just some careful changes in layout and content can make the application perfect for browsing on a smartphone device. We at Ejyle have the necessary expertise in converting existing websites written in PHP, ASP.NET, and pure HTML into smartphone-friendly websites for iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices.

Treadmill vs. Elliptical: which is better for losing weight?
If you are like me, going to the gym can be overwhelming. There is so much equipment to chose from and some look very similar. Two such equipment are the elliptical and the treadmill. Both are very popular for losing weight but what is the difference?. These fitness equipments are found at the maximum number of gyms and home gyms around the world and the reason behind this is simple-they are highly effective. Whether it is toning your legs or shaping your glutes, burning calories or losing weight, treadmill like NordicTrack commercial 1750 and elliptical are the number one choice for most people. But when it comes to choosing one from these two for losing weight, people face as much confusion as choosing where to buy an elliptical trainer and treadmill from.
To help you with making this choice, we have brought a detailed comparison between an elliptical and a treadmill:
- A treadmill is one of the best cardio machines out there. It is tried and tested and emulates the natural motion and movements of those who use it. It serves multiple purposes of walking, jogging and running and can be adjusted in terms of speed, incline and resistance. Working out on a treadmill on a regular basis can help you to improve your heart health.
- The elliptical on the other hand is a relatively newer machine, but helps you to burn the same amount of calories as the treadmill does. This machine targets both your upper and lower body since it also has moving handles that can also be used. It has a gilding foot motion which helps you get toned legs.
- When it comes to burning of calories for losing weight, then the elliptical proves to be a little better and more efficient than the treadmill. The amount of effort you apply on an elliptical to lose the same amount of calories is less than the treadmill. Even though the intensity of workout on a treadmill may be high, people tend to get worked up or tired sooner and this may lead them to shortening their treadmill workout time period.
- An elliptical is a cross trainer which allows you to work both your upper body and your lower body. This machine not only facilitates front motion but also reverse strides. You can train both your arms and both your legs at the same time and hence target several different body parts at the same time. In case of a treadmill, your arms do not get any workout and the main attention is on the legs and thighs.
It is difficult to say which machine will help you lose weight more efficiently because the actual amount of calories burnt depends upon the intensity and time of the workout. For example, if you are working out on the treadmill regularly for a longer period of time then it will prove more effective than using the low impact elliptical. However if you are using more resistance in your elliptical workout and spend the same time on the treadmill only walking, then elliptical proves to be a better machine in terms of weight loss. Thus it is best to go for a combination workout.

David Beckham has announced he is returning to the soccer field for a charity match.
The legendary athlete retired from the sport in 2013 after a glittering career which lasted 20 years and led to 19 big trophy wins.
Although he had no plans to show off his ball skills again, David has been tempted out of retirement for a very special cause.
"(I gave up soccer) three years ago and I never thought I'd be getting my boots out again but everyone knows that I'm ambassador of UNICEF so we've come together and we've decided to raise funds by doing a game," he confirmed on BBC Radio 1 on Friday (02Oct15).
"I'll be bringing my boots back out and playing on November 14 (15) at (soccer stadium) Old Trafford, which again, I'm excited about. I'll be the captain of the Great Britain team and (Zinedine) Zidane will be captain of the Rest of the World. Carlo Ancelotti is the (manager) of that team as well and I can't believe it, but Sir Alex Ferguson is the (manager) of my team."
The game means an extra special amount to David, as Old Trafford is the home of the team where he started his career, Manchester United. Alex Ferguson was his manager there and he agreed to be involved in the upcoming game after David personally invited him.
"I did actually call him and ask him about this one," David explained. "I don't normally. I saw him the other day for the first time for a long time and when we were at Manchester United we'd never even think about having a glass of wine in front of him or a beer... I'm 40 years old now and he walked into the room, someone handed me a glass of wine, and I stood there talking to him for 20 minutes with a glass of wine hidden behind my back. He's like a father figure for me and he gave me the chance to play for Manchester United, he's kind of God."
Things haven't always been so cosy between the pair though. Alex famously kicked a soccer boot which hit David on the head during their time working together, with the athlete joking they might try to recreate the moment in November.
"The only time I've kicked a ball throughout this time is with the kids and the only game I've played since I've retired was one for the dads and teachers at school. (This one) might be a bit tougher," the star added.

Temporary classic bike 'museum' whets TT race fans' appetites
28 June, 2016
Britain's newest classic motorbike "museum" has opened on the Isle of Man.
A temporary exhibition of timeless classics launched recently to whet the appetites of visitors to the island's TT races.
To coincide with the event, Port St Mary is enticing bikers to its picturesque village with a small but beautifully formed display.
The exhibits would not look out of place at the National Motorcycle Museum.
Our picks
The event is showing vintage gems such as the 1927 Sunbeam Model 8 and, even older, a Rex Acme dating back 93 years.
The former was renowned for its sheer quality with a fabulous finish in gold-leaf and black pinstripes.
The latter had a celebrated racing history. Rex Acmes were produced from 1922 to 33 with engines ranging between 173cc and 746cc.
Oldest of all, however, is an iconic 1919 Indian Power Plus. The US-based Hendee Manufacturing Company made these amazing flathead machines.
Best of the rest
More recent classics include:
• Honda CR93: This helped to propel Gary "The Mighty Atom" Dickinson to glory during the 1960s. Older motorbike fans may remember that Dickinson earned his nickname because of his diminutive status. So slight was his frame that he had to fasten a lead block to his motorcycle frame below his left boot in order to attain the minimum permitted racing weight
• Hewitt BSA Racing Outfit: This 1970-crafted beauty was put through its paces on the Southern 100 circuit at the Pre-TT Classic
• Ariel Square Four: These sporty models were produced from 1931 to 1959.
Bike hasn't left the island for 85 years
Villager Juan Claque, a vintage bike connoisseur who supplied two of the 10 classics at the exhibition, officially opened the display.
He owns the BSA and the Aerial. Mr Claque believes the latter has never left the village in its entire 85-year existence.
Other local vintage bike lovers supplied the remaining eight exhibits.
Proceeds from hot drinks sold at the display have gone towards show organisers, the Southern Befrienders - a charity dealing with social isolation and loneliness on the island.
Doors open on the weekday-only exhibition at 10.30 at the west room of the village's Town Hall.
Thursday (June 9) sees the doors close on the exhibition at 4.30pm for the final time after eight days of keeping TT race fans thoroughly entertained away from the track.

Weekly Top 10 K-dramas
Perfect summertime dramas Another Oh Hae Young and Beautiful Gong Shim both rose higher. Did they beat last week's winner Les Interprètes? For the first time, we have a drama in a heated tie with Running Man. Is your favorite drama among the Top 10? Let's find out.
First of all, Beautiful Gong Shim is the most improved in ranking this week, surging to #4, while Another Oh Hae Young took #2 and tied with long-time holder of that spot, Running Man. At #5 is The Entertainer, which reached its sweet ending last week. Jang Geun Suk's Daebak also concluded with a thrilling ending and moved up to #9.
The crown still belongs to Les Interprètes with its happy ending this week. I had no idea that interpreters lived a life with such amazing twists and turns. May our leading couple live happily ever after! The romance drama also showcases a new side of how young Chinese live in a modern China that was unimaginable 30 years ago. In real life, Switzerland has appointed Les Interprètes star Huang Xuan as its tourism ambassador in China!
Descendants of the Sun is still holding well in the Top 10. Song Joong Ki has been on a fan-meet tour and just welcomed his leading lady, Song Hye Gyo, on stage to play games and sing a love song together. The Song-Song Couple is still the hottest news in Asia now.
One of my regular watches, Monster, which stars Kang Ji Hwan, Sung Yu Ri, and Park Ki Woong, has risen to #12. Now that the two leads know each other's true identity, one of them is framed for murder and sent to prison. Stay tuned! We're only half way through the revenge drama.

With so many dramas ending last week, does it mean you can go back to sleep? No! Here comes some fantastic new dramas that many viewers (including me) have been anxiously waiting for!
In Doctor Crush, Park Shin Hye portrays a young woman with a totally different image and personality from her other roles. I can't wait to see this new drama which also stars Kim Rae Won and Cheer Up's Ji Soo. Read more about the drama HERE.
Squad 38 is billed as a "cop comedy" starring Seo In Guk and Choi Soo Young. Take a closer look HERE. No matter what Seo In Guk plays, the model-turned-actor always looks cool and handsome.
The suspenseful Wanted is about a very unusual kidnapping case. I want to watch this intense drama because of Queen In Hyun's Man actor Ji Hyun Woo. Find out more about the drama HERE.

It was criticism from one of the best in women's golf, and Michelle Wie was hurt.
Annika Sorenstam, who has retired from the LPGA, suggested last month during the U.S. Women's Open that Wie was shortchanging women's golf by pursuing her degree at Stanford.
"I think her focus, in my opinion, should be more on golf," Sorenstam said. "She's very distracted with school, doesn't really play as much full time as I thought she would. I think she needs to come out here and compete more regularly."
Sorenstam, who did praise Wie's potential and athletic ability, also said, "You wonder if she's mentally strong enough to finish at the top."
