THE BALD EAGLES born this spring at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge -- 90 miles east and eons away from the Beltway -- are already as big as their parents, and now they're honing their hunting skills. You'll get the best views of those young eagles and their white-headed parents from the "paddling paths" the refuge opened just a year ago. Think hiking paths, with markers posted to show the way. The refuge, nearly the size of the District, is a wetland, so the best way to get around is by water.
The three new paths are marked purple, green and orange on the refuge map and give visitors access to the center of the habitat for the first time. On long stretches of shallow water in the wetland, only kayaks and canoes can pass.
"You will see more of the refuge paddling than by any other means," says refuge ranger Tom Miller. "You'll be alone most of the time. The wildlife is more accepting of you when you're in that quiet state, so you'll get better views."
Laura Murray, a University of Maryland wetlands biologist and guide with Peake Paddle Tours, recently took a friend and me out on the purple trail. We watched two ospreys intercept a bald eagle just overhead and harry it from their nesting area. A barred owl bolted from the tall grass, diving, climbing and diving again, chased by two terns. An osprey circled, riding the winds on its five-foot wings, then tucked and plunged into the water after a fish and missed, as another winged by, a silver sliver in its talons. On an island a hundred feet from our kayaks, a pair of bald eagles looked out from their nest, a ton of carpentry high in a loblolly pine.
Time on the water: five hours. Distance covered: nine miles. Buildings observed: half a dozen, far away across the water. Cars heard or seen: zero. Other people encountered: none.
Each of the three new paths offers a different experience, in terms of natural setting, views of land and water, and paddling difficulty.
The purple path is a one-way trip nine miles long, following the narrow channel of the Blackwater River. The route appears to run through a huge lake, about 12 miles long and six wide, but most of that "lake" is extremely shallow. "The great blue heron walking on water out there is not an optical illusion," says Murray. "Your sense is you're paddling on land, and you almost are, because the water's only a few inches deep, over an area that 50 years ago was land -- marsh that has sunk."
On the purple path, if you're not heading toward or away from an osprey nest -- it winds directly under 14 of them -- you are probably lost. Getting off track is all too easy on the path, and that can mean getting stuck, seriously stuck, in the marsh. Navigating requires excellent map and compass reading skills and knowledge of tides, winds and weather. Novice kayakers and those unfamiliar with the area should go with a guide. (For any paddling trip at Blackwater, if you'll need a guide or equipment, make your arrangements before going to the refuge; see below for contact information.) Depending on conditions, the trip is about five hours, two-thirds through open water and the rest through marsh. The purple path runs through sensitive habitat; it will be open until Oct. 1 and then reopens April 1.
The green and orange paths are open year-round. They generally follow narrow river or creek channels and "are suitable for paddlers of all levels," says Bill Reybold, a soil scientist and Friends of Blackwater volunteer who mapped and put signs up on the new routes. Both paths wind through magnificent areas, forests and fields and, of course, marsh, with close-up views of eagle and osprey nests. Each is a round trip, about eight miles total, four hours of paddling.
The green path, which goes up the Blackwater River, is Reybold's favorite. While the water in the refuge is mostly brackish, fresh water feeds into the green path, too, so that during the summer, white waterlilies bloom along the water's surface. The tannins from the pine trees along the shore turn the water a "pure, translucent black," as Tom Horton writes in his wonderful book "The Great Marsh: An Intimate Journey Into a Chesapeake Wetland" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002). The first third of the orange path runs through open water, the Swan Pond Marsh. The path then turns up Coles Creek for a beautiful trip -- marsh grass on the banks, transitioning to forests up away from the creek. "Stick to the banks to avoid the strong tidal action in the creek channel and to see the wildlife close to the shore," advises Jude Apple, a University of Maryland wetlands scientist and Chesapeake Outdoor Adventures guide.
Blackwater is a refuge for the eagles who live there, the hawks who migrate through in the fall, the snow geese and tundra swans who come for the winter, the small elk whose mating calls carry across the marshes during their October rut, and for us, too, out on those paddling paths.

HOUSTON --Dozens of Houstonians took a part in flash mob Saturday to raise awareness about the civil war in Syria.
The flash mob was held at Macgregor Park in southeast Houston.
A woman banged on a drum while the rest of the mob held signs about the war in Syria and others played the roles of soldiers and victims.
Local high school and college students organized the mob as part of Houston's Day of Action for Syria.
Prior to the flash mob was a "walk for the Children of Syria," also held at MacGregor Park.
The Syrian American Council initiated a nationwide campaign in collaboration with Rise4Humanity. Events were held in 18 U.S. cities, including Houston. Proceeds from the walk will benefit UNICEF's work in Syria.

University of Hartford President Humphrey Tonkin and businessman Richard H. Gordon both deserve an "A" for their plan to bring university classes to downtown Hartford.
The classes, for part-time students who may work in the city's business core, will be on the fourth floor of a building at 99 Pratt St. They may start as early as June. Mr. Gordon, the developer best known as the principal owner of the Hartford Whalers, is donating the space to the university for five years. He also is contributing $100,000 for renovations to convert it to educational use if the university raises as much or more. Though Mr. Gordon presumably will receive a tax break, his action is very generous.

At Vandyke, we are committed to providing an impartial and supportive Careers Education and Guidance programme for all students. We believe that all students are entitled to impartial and, where necessary, confidential advice, in order to manage their own lifelong learning and career development. In line with the government initiative, all students must remain in education until they are age 18. Students have a choice about how they will do this, for example, this could be as an apprentice, at sixth form college or through employment with training.
Careers lessons are delivered through the Life Skills course in Years 9-11. In addition, the programme is supported by a range of activities for Years 9-13 designed to widen students' knowledge of opportunities in the working world as well as to help them understand themselves and the influences on them. In response to the changing world of work, in these lessons there is an emphasis on developing students' employability and transferable skills. We are proud of our links with local employers and organisations in supporting us with many aspects of our work-related programme. Local employers and organisations are invited into school to deliver Aim Higher events, including meet and greet, workshops and mock interviews.

Panasonic is expected to launch two new Micro Four Thirds cameras on Sunday 7 March if rumours on the Internet are to be believed.
The new models, the G2 and G10, will be announced at the start of the Focus on Imaging show in Birmingham, UK.
For those who are impatient, the specs have already leaked out early thanks to photorumors.com.
According to the site, both the G2 and G10 will look like the G1 and will come in a more traditional DSLR design, They both seem to feature a 12-megapixel sensor, sporting the Micro Four Thirds technology and a 3-inch screen that folds out for variable angles.
Both models appear to be able to shoot 720p video at 30fps and lack a viewfinder or HDMI connectivity. Images and video will be stored on SD memory card, SDHC memory card, or SDXC memory cards.
We will have full details if Panasonic does launch the new models on Sunday.
We will keep you posted.

text: NEW DELHI, INDIA — Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi said Sunday he is fed up with increased rioting and terrorism. His warning: He will impose a state of emergency if it becomes necessary and sharply restrict individual freedoms. Precedent: Gandhi's mother, Indira, declared an emergency in 1975 and had hundreds of political opponents arrested. She also imposed tight press censorship and enforced a birth control policy that included forced sterilization. The declaration contributed to Mrs. Gandhi's defeat in 1977. Rajiv Gandhi: ''I personally am not in favor of using such harsh measures if they can be avoided.''

But first I'll tell you all about my spring break.
Over spring break I visited another village and drove a snowmachine (snowmobile) for the first time. The village, White Mountain, is just a 30-45 minute snowmachine drive away from Golovin. It is actually the village I thought I would like to be placed at before I got to Alaska (don't tell anyone in Golovin! ;) ) Although, now I wouldn't trade being at Golovin for anything. Darn kids winning me over!
|White Mountain
White Mountain was very nice. I went with two other teachers and we stayed with the guidance counselor who floats between our schools. The store in White Mountain was a lot bigger and had slightly better prices. The items on my receipt were also consistently priced and didn't feel completely random. However, still more expensive than Wisconsin.
|I could look at this all day.
I had a few spills in/on the way to White Mountain. On the way there I drove a snowmachine, which I also flew off of accidentally after going over a big bump. I am actually kind of surprised I didn't break or sprain anything, but I did bruise my elbow really badly. I was going to post a picture but the bruise doesn't photograph well.
While in White Mountain we climbed a very steep hill to look at beautiful things, and I also may have fallen down while going up the hill. It was very icy.
|Food waiting for mushers to come.
White Mountain was a stop on the Iditarod. I got to see where the mushers slept as well as all of the dogs. I think there were ten there at once at one point!
|Resting puppies
They were the last bit of the Iditarod I got to see. It was sad that it had to end - I enjoyed watching all of the mushers come through. The dogs were so cute. I did worry about their health a little bit, but it seemed like all of the mushers I heard put their dogs' health above their own. They care so much about their dogs.

What to CookChinese
20 Noodle Dishes to Make Today, Take on a Picnic Tomorrow
What's more early-summer-romance than sprawling out on a blanket under the shade of a tree, letting your limbs flop like limp noodles?
Noodles! For the freest of times, when sunscreen and rosé and a good novel are nearby. Noodles! To loop around a fork, to twirl with your fingers, to fling at your companions. To get tangled in herbs, vegetables, and tofu cubes. To snag dressings—pestos, fish sauces, and creamy tahini-based numbers—and drag them across the bowl.
While other cold leftovers might send chills down your spine (Cold macaroni and cheese? No. Cold eggs? Don't make me!), many noodle "salads" are meant to be eaten cold. They're "refreshing" this way.
Make one of these 20 recipes now, then save it in the fridge for a sunny weekend hour. Or just eat it for dinner. It'll be good the next night (and for Monday lunch, too!). And If you're having trouble deciding which to make, see what kind of noodle you've got in your pantry, then go from there.

SOURCE: Allegiant Travel Company
January 21, 2016 20:00 ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - January 21, 2016) -
Allegiant Travel Company
(NASDAQ: ALGT) today announced that it has named Jude Bricker to the position of Chief Operating Officer and expanded the role of Chief Financial Officer Scott Sheldon. This restructuring of the Company's management organization will strengthen its operation and place a renewed emphasis on customer experience.
Senior Vice President of Planning Jude Bricker will take on the role of COO and will now oversee Flight Operations, Maintenance and Safety, in addition to his current role leading the network and fleet strategy. Bricker will lead the planning and day-to-day operation of the airline, focusing on strengthening the business and utilizing the cooperation of the work groups under his management to improve processes to ensure ongoing success.
Chief Financial Officer Scott Sheldon will now oversee Inflight and Operation Control Center (OCC), in addition to his current responsibilities leading the finance, procurement and customer operations areas. By adding Inflight and OCC to his management, Sheldon will oversee all frontline employees who are the day-to-day touch points for Allegiant customers. By bringing these work groups together under Sheldon's leadership, Allegiant will be well-positioned to make meaningful improvements in its customer experience.
"In the near-term, our efforts will be focused on reviewing our operations group and understanding where we can make improvements in both systems and processes, but we are looking to the future with these changes to our organization," said Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., chairman and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "I have every confidence in Scott and Jude in their enhanced roles and that they will both continue to contribute to our ongoing success. They have each demonstrated their commitment to Allegiant during their tenure here. Both have brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to their roles and have developed extremely competent and successful organizations under their leadership. Having built up their current teams, we are fortunate to have them expand their focus and expertise to more areas of the organization."
Bricker brings over 20 years of management and aviation experience to the role of COO. He joined Allegiant in May 2006 as manager of fleet planning. He became the director of fleet planning in 2007 before being promoted to vice president of corporate finance and treasurer in 2010. He was named Senior Vice President of Planning in 2012. Prior to joining Allegiant, Bricker held various positions with American Airlines and the US Marine Corps.
Sheldon was appointed chief financial officer and senior vice president in May 2010. He has also served as the Company's principal accounting officer since 2007. Previously, Sheldon served as the Company's vice president of accounting after holding positions as accounting manager and director of accounting. Prior to joining Allegiant in 2004, Sheldon worked as a senior audit associate at Perry-Smith, LLP.
The new roles for Bricker and Sheldon will replace the areas previously overseen by Chief Operating Officer Steve Harfst, who recently resigned. The Company will use this leadership change as an opportunity to refocus on operational needs and areas for improvement.

Internal Medicine Residency
Common Myths About California Pacific Medical Center
Below is a list of myths about a non-University hospital like CPMC to better educate you about the colorful and rewarding training our residents receive:
CPMC is a "Community Hospital"
We are and we aren't. CPMC doesn't really fall into any standard descriptor as a training location. While it is not a "University Hospital," it is also not a typical "Community Hospital." CPMC has affiliations with 2 major University medical schools (Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College and UCSF) and a very busy Research Institute that has numerous NIH grants. Moreover, the size of its patient referral base surpasses that of many University Hospitals. Over one-third of CPMC's patients come from outside San Francisco County, some from as far away as Nevada and Oregon. The patients referred to CPMC are some of the most diagnostically and therapeutically challenging cases seen by residents. At the same time, CPMC cares for a large portion of San Francisco's socioeconomically and ethnically diverse community which means that residents receive a solid foundation in "bread and butter" medicine.
CPMC has been described as a "Communiversity Hospital"—a hybrid of the best of both worlds. We place a premium on academic learning and emphasize and nurture teaching and scholarly activity in a warm, friendly and supportive work environment where everyone gets to know each other. Our training program resembles that of a small, liberal arts college, where residents can get more individualized attention from faculty and program directors but can pursue almost all the career pathways that they could at any large University program.
CPMC is in beautiful Pacific Heights in San Francisco so your residents must only see wealthy patients with mundane medical problems:
Not true. While it is great working in a neighborhood with beautiful views and lots to do within a 5 block radius, our patients are tremendously diverse and come from every economic and social strata. They come from all neighborhoods of San Francisco and because San Francisco is one of the most diverse cities in the United States, this means that you see and meet almost every kind of person. Additionally, since CPMC has 4 campuses which are situated in Pacific Heights, the Richmond District, the Castro District and South of Market area, our hospital's referral base is tremendous. Our advanced tertiary and quaternary services (e.g., Liver and Renal transplantation, advanced digestive diseases) draw patient referrals from all over Northern California, Nevada and even Oregon. We are the "flagship hospital" of Sutter Health's 30 hospital consortium and care for many of the consortium's most challenging cases.
Since your program is not a University Program your residents can't get fellowships:
Not true. Please see our list of fellowship matches for the last several years; our residents have done remarkably well with fellowship placement. The reasons for this success are complex, but suffice to say that we work hard to prepare our residents to be competitive applicants and CPMC has an excellent reputation for the quality of its clinical training with many fellowship programs directors.
Since you are not a University Program, the teaching must not be as good:
Not true. Our clinicians are just that—clinicians—who teach because they love to teach and interact with students and residents. Our institution's support of teaching and the residency program enables it to attract excellent subspecialty, hospitalist, and outpatient faculty from both private practice and University settings. The quality of teaching at CPMC is one of the most frequently cited strengths of the program based upon our annual residency survey. Suffice to say, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College would not be flying its students almost 3,000 miles if they didn't believe the teaching at CPMC was stellar!!
It must be hard to pursue scholarly activity:
Not true. As at any program, our residents need to be proactive about pursuing their interests, but there is plenty of opportunity to do research, write abstracts, present posters at regional and national meetings and publish. Please see our Scholarly Activities at CPMC. This is one of the many things that help our residents match to competitive fellowship programs. Because of our program's emphasis on teaching, faculty are dedicated to mentoring residents and providing individualized attention and guidance. Our affiliation with UCSF also enables motivated residents to work with researchers at any of the 4 UCSF campuses in San Francisco.

Fully furnished double bedroom (for single occupancy) available in a great flat - new development in central London (Sheldon Square).
Protected content
This is a modern flat, completely and properly furnished (not only the bedroom but also the Kitchen/Living Room).
The bedroom includes a wardrobe, bedside table, chest of drawers and a desk. Air conditioner is available in the room. You would have your own bathroom (a large one) as there are two bathrooms in the flat.
Sheldon Square is a new development right by Paddington Station (train connections plus Paddington, District / Circle and Hammersmith and City Lines), Lancaster Gate (Central) and Bayswater/Queensway. A gym (Nuffield Health) is available right below the building as well as some nice pubs and restaurants. Hyde Park is only a 10mins walk (and Oxford street around 20mins). Sainsbury's, M&S, Tesco Express and Waitrose available in the area. Express trains to Heathrow (15mins) departing from Paddington.
You will be sharing the flat with me - I've been living in London for over a year and I'm working as a Consultant in the Marketing/FMCG industry. I'm looking for someone tidy and clean, sociable (but not a mid-week party animal!) and preferably a professional (students could also be OK).
All the utilities (Internet, Gas, Council Tax, Heating...) are included.
I'll be holding flat viewings in the evenings so please contact me if you would like to visit!

Sure, they're awesome, you say, but what exactly are the colors of these plush Ultraman dolls trying to tell us?
The official story from Japanese toy manufacturer MegaHouse is that the Pattern Doll Series are made this way to commemorate the 40th anniversary of both Ultraman AND color television. Ultraman, Z-Ton, and Alien Baltan are done up to look like the original, color bar TV test pattern.
Because Ultraman, you see, is as venerable and indispensable to our daily lives as color TV itself.
That, or they're all out and proud now, and ready to hop into the first Rabbit Convertible that crosses their paths. Either way, I say we support them in their lifestyle decision.
You can show that support by buying Pattern Doll Ultraman plushes at Giant Robot, which has 5" keychain versions for $8 and medium-sized 8" versions for $17.
If size is really important to you, Amazon Japan has the large, 32cm [12.5"] Pattern Doll Ultraman figures for about 2,000 yen + international shipping. For some reason, Amazon is missing a lot of images, so here are the direct product links [l to r, but you knew that]:
Pattern Doll Ultraman - Large [320mm], 2,027 yen
Pattern Doll Z-Ton - Large [320mm] SOLD OUT
Pattern Doll Baltan - Large [320mm] 2,121 yen

PENGUINS, who pretty much stole the animated "Madagascar" in supporting roles, are the whole show in "March of the Penguins," a remarkable, eye-popping nature documentary directed by France's Luc Jacquet.
For 13 months, Jacquet and his crew braved Antarctic temperatures as low as 70 degrees below zero – and winds up to 150 mph – to capture astonishing images of thousands of emperor penguins engaging in a mating and child-rearing ritual that is nothing short of astonishing.
During the course of a brutal winter, an endless line of incredibly cute penguins shuffle – or, when they get tired, slide on the ice – for the 70-mile trek from the ocean to their ancestral breeding grounds.
After they get down to business and a single egg is laid, mom gingerly transfers it to the father, who carefully carries it on his feet and transfers it to a pouch – since a few seconds of exposure can kill the egg, the risk is considerable.
The male then huddles with a thousand or more other penguins – their backs against the winter's worst – while mom heads back to the ocean to catch a few fish.
This remarkable marathon – with the males and females trading off – takes place several times until the chicks hatch and endure blinding blizzards awaiting their mother's return and their first trip to the ocean.
Despite their remarkable teamwork, penguins mate for a single season and seek new partners the next year.
Morgan Freeman strikes a perfect note of bemusement reading the English-language narration written by Jordan Roberts, even as he notes that some penguins don't survive the difficult journey.
In France, where it was called "The Emperor's Journey," the film featured the voices of two French actors "playing" an anthropomorphic penguin couple.
I didn't see that version, which played at the Sundance Film Festival, but by most accounts, the American version is an improvement.
"March of the Penguins," which does for penguins what "Winged Migration" did for birds, should draw flocks of kids of all ages to the Lincoln Plaza and the Angelika for this G-rated delight.
[*** 1/2] (Three and one-half stars)
A sight for sore eyes. Running time: 80 minutes. Rated G (nothing offensive). At the Lincoln Plaza and the Angelika.

Ditching Politics for Entrepreneurship
Two campaign seasons ago, a group of young staffers schooled in new media helped President Barack Obama win office.
Now, some have left politics behind and are using similar skills, plus lessons learned on the campaign trail, to start their own entrepreneurial ventures. One even funded his start-up by scalping tickets to the Commander-in-Chief's inaugural balls.
Not surprisingly, the staffers-turned-entrepreneurs are launching technology-heavy ventures, betting they can convert campaign techniques—such as raising $500 million online and registering millions of voters—into success in their own organizations.
Dan Siroker, for instance, served as director of analytics with the Obama campaign, using specialized technology to make BarackObama.com a fundraising behemoth. After working on Mr. Obama's transition team, Mr. Siroker says he turned down a position in the new administration to start Optimizely Inc., an online business in San Francisco that sells similar technology.
Back in 2008, Mr. Siroker had left a job at Google Inc., where he worked on the Chrome Web browser, after hearing Mr. Obama speak at the search giant's Silicon Valley headquarters. Mr. Obama was still considered a long shot to win the presidency at the time, and Mr. Siroker says he was taken by the candidate's vision of bringing transparency and a "meritocracy of ideas" to government.
Today, Mr. Siroker, 27 years old, says he attempts Mr. Obama's technique on potential employees, trying to "sell them on the dream" of making Optimizely's technology—which helps website operators run profitable sites—widely available.
"Hiring is tough," Mr. Siroker says. "The people who we want to hire are really brilliant and...can go anywhere they want." So far he's lured three engineers, including one he recruited from Citigroup Inc. . "The campaign was a great proving ground for [risk]," he adds.
Building an organization around ideals rather than the promise of immediate success is a must for start-ups, says Jerome S. Engel, chair of the New Venture Creation & Venture Capital Program at the University of California at Berkeley.
"Large corporations gather human resources through market-rate compensation, but entrepreneurs align resources through a shared vision," says Mr. Engel. "That's what the Obama campaign did and that's what modern entrepreneurs are doing."
Another former campaign worker, Dan Beckmann, is now the CEO of IB5k LLC, a digital media production company in San Francisco that provides Web development, video documentary and other services. Mr. Beckman raised $5,000 in start-up capital by re-selling his tickets to the president's inaugural balls.
Mr. Beckmann, 30, says he learned how to collaborate with a network of volunteers and supporters while working on Mr. Obama's video team. His company similarly relies on 300 freelancers— filmmakers, graphic designers and programmers—sprinkled across the country.
"It's hard when you have this many people in different time zones, to keep them all feeling connected," says Mr. Beckmann, who uses emails, personal visits and company retreats to keep his team focused on common goals. "The model for this really came from the Obama campaign."
So far, it appears to be working for Mr. Beckmann. He says he's won a government contract to provide email-related services to Hill staffers, and he's helping Mystery Guitar Man—the YouTube sensation known for quirky YouTube videos—build a monetizable website. He expects IB5k to be profitable off of $1.2 million in revenue this year.
The former campaign workers says entrepreneurship presents its own set of challenges when it comes to team-building, fund-raising and keeping momentum.
Mr. Siroker, who's raised $1.2 million from angel investors in the past year, says he's learning to pace himself when it comes to fund-raising. During the campaign, the goal was to raise as much money as possible before election day. With his company, however, he needs to be more selective so he can focus on building Optimizely's product.
"Once we raised a round of funding, tons of other investors kept calling wanting to network. But we finished the round and were where we wanted to be," he says. "It's been tough to say no."
One of the Obama campaign's most high-profile staffers, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, has founded a non-profit social-networking site for activists and charities called Jumo International Inc.
Mr. Hughes, 26, of New York, is financially independent because of his stake in Facebook, the company he left in 2007 to spearhead MyBarackObama.com, a social-networking site for campaign volunteers and supporters to arrange meet-ups and discuss campaigning strategies.
Jumo builds off of the successful elements of both Facebook and MyBarackObama.com, Mr. Hughes says, and will make it easier for people to connect and donate to causes they support.
Structure is important "when it comes to people figuring out what they can meaningfully do to help a cause or a candidate," Mr. Hughes says. Much like the campaign site, he hopes Jumo will turn "enthusiasm into results."

Wings in Seven
Gnredwing posted a topic in GeneralSo we will have back to back playoffs with a team overcoming a 3-0 series lead. Wings begin by winning tonight, then Sunday in San Jose they will win an overtime thriller. Back to the Joe for game 6, Johan Franzen's hat trick leads Wings past sharks while tying the series. Game 7 is tied 3-3 in third when Dan Cleary breaks the tie and the Wings hold on and Win the game and the series!!!
Red Wings will win this series
Gnredwing posted a topic in GeneralI know the Wings will win this series, thats why I am not the least bit worried. Game 3 Wednesday night is going to be huge and that victory is going to get us going and will be the Sharks demise. Once the Red Wings win this series and everyone knows I have insights to the future, you can ask me anything you want. Wings in Seven, you heard it from me first!
I hate the Ducks
Gnredwing posted a topic in GeneralI can honestly say I hate the ducks more then I ever hated the Avalanche. Atleast when the Avalanche would fight they wouldnt go after players that never fight. 2 years ago after game 6 they go after Rafalski, Pronger fights Cleary, then tonight Perry fights Datsyuk. The ducks are the biggest cowards in the league. Perry cant even win a fight with Datsyuk who has never fought before, how pathedic. I hope Perry is embarassed to look himself in the mirror, the *****!
The Rangers signed Derek Boogard, who scored not one goal last year, to a 4 year deal paying him 1.65 million a year. Does anyone else think this is perhaps the worst deal of the year. Sure Boogard can fight, but thats not going to help win any games. I hate the Rangers!
Wings sign Ilari Filppula 1yr/$500k
Gnredwing replied to IILeiBlazeII's topic in GeneralWill Filpullas brother start the season on the roster or most likely be in Grand Rapids? I am hoping he and Valterri could play on the same line together, anyone think this will happen??
What are the Pros and Cons of next season?
Gnredwing replied to KDDRWINGS1's topic in GeneralWhy are so many people looking at next season negative. We lost to the Sharks this year who happened to be the number 1 seed in the west, it's not like we lost to the Avalanche! Datsyuk, Zetterberg on the same line next year will certainly help with offense. Franzen back and healthy and an emerging star in Fillpula plus a healthy Dan Cleary is certainly great news! Throw Hudler and Homer into the mix you've got 2 lines most teams would love to have. Howard will only get better, and you have Lidstrom coming back! I havent been looking foward to a season as much as next season for a long time! And enough of this old crap, ever sine 02 the Wings have been "too old" enough already. We won in 02 and then again in 08, the players are all very capable of playing the game or they wouldnt be. Go Wings!!
My Nightmare last night!
Gnredwing posted a topic in GeneralLast night I had a dream that back in the 08 finals Hossa actually scored on the last second shot and the Penguins won game 6 in overtime. Then game 7 the Penguins won 5-0 and Ozzy was pulled. The dream was so realistic at first I was like I cannot believe the Wings lost back to back finals! Imagine that was true though, how much would that have sucked!! Thankfully it was just a dream
Thank you Jason Williams
Gnredwing posted a topic in GeneralThank you Williams for missing the net by 50 feet and leading to the Sharks game winner. It was great to have you back in the lineup. Please do not come back next year, from all Red Wing fans!
WCSF Game 3 GDT: Sharks 4 at Red Wings 3
Gnredwing replied to Hockeytown0001's topic in GeneralFranzen game winner, Wings win!!!
Red Wings will win game 2
Gnredwing posted a topic in GeneralSucks to lose game 1 but the series will be tied 1-1 after Sunday. Go Wings!!
Todd, Big Bad, Bertuzzi!
Gnredwing replied to Red Wings 2010's topic in GeneralWhat I find funny is if Bertuzzi didnt rack up a lot of points vs Phoenix I bet a lot of responses would be Bertuzzi should of been banned from the league and how he sucks and hes just a waste of space!
Bring on the Sharks --- Again!
Gnredwing replied to a topic in GeneralMy sources are telling me Franzen is going to play great vs the Sharks. He will have 4 goals in the series. GO WINGS GO!!!

Tech Global takes a unique approach to video walls in that our goal is to create an interactive product that is superior in quality and performance and is designed to allow for easy installation and service.

This not only creates an exceptional viewing performance but also display protection while reducing installation time and cost. In most cases, video walls by design, incur excessive set-up and maintenance costs beyond the purchase price. Our design and hands on customer service enables you to get the most out of your video wall while reducing overall total cost of ownership.
Although there may be some similar installations, most video walls are as custom as the environment they serve.
