There is something light and airy about springtime – you just feel a little energized, and perhaps you are Spring cleaning…out the old and in with the new. Time to re-decorate, liven up the wardrobe and freshen up the house for the summer months ahead. Firing up the grill and lighting some tiki torches on a chilly Spring night might make for a perfect evening. I found this recipe on the Whole Foods site, and if you're anything like me, this is definitely the time for fresh seafood and light, healthy meals.
If you have the fresh vegetable garden ready to go, this is the perfect meal for you! If not, Whole Foods has a wide selection of some of the freshest ingredients in town – and it makes for one amazing salad. I grilled fresh Sockeye salmon that is FRESH from Whole Foods (not frozen). I've learned recently that some of the farm-raised seafood has high PCB levels and injected artificial colors. Here is a little bit more about why.
Here is what you'll need to make the perfect summer salad (and if you like olives, click on the link for additional ingredients):
- 1 navel orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 filet of salmon, about 1 1/2 to 2 lbs
- 1/4 cup chopped shallots
- Dressing
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 red pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
- 1 green pepper, seeded and cut into quarters
- 4 cups washed baby salad greens
- 1 medium cucumber, seeded and sliced
- 12 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
In a container for marinating, zest orange and lemon. Slice orange and lemon in half and squeeze out all juice. Remove any seeds. Add juice to zest. Place salmon fillet in marinade. Cover and refrigerate for one to two hours.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine shallots, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary. Blend for just a few seconds. Add olives (if desired) and bell peppers. Pulse until finely diced.
Heat the grill to medium-hot. Grill for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Turning is not necessary. Salmon is done when it turns a light pink color throughout.
In a large serving bowl, toss salad greens with cucumbers and tomatoes. Add diced vegetables from the food processor. Slice salmon fillet into small strips and decoratively lay on top of salad.
Here are a few others you might enjoy:

Beaches Turks & Caicos PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS
Like the islands themselves, Beaches' all-inclusive resort in Turks & Caicos is renowned as "the last of the true exotics." One glance at its crystal clear waters and 12 miles of powder white sand and you'll see in an instant why Scuba Diving magazine named Turks & Caicos one of its top two diving destinations in the world, and why TripAdvisor chose the beaches of Providenciales as the best in the world.
For everyone who has ever dreamed of getting away from it all and finding a tropical hideaway far removed from all the hustle, bustle, fuss and muss of modern life - Turks & Caicos is that rarest of discoveries, a true island escape.
For everyone who has ever dreamed of getting away from it all and finding a tropical hideaway far removed from all the hustle, bustle, fuss and muss of modern life-the Turks & Caicos is that rarest of discoveries, a true island escape. Envision 230 miles of sandy white beachfront, gently lapped by some of the clearest, aquamarine seas in the entire universe. With 40 islands to explore in this exquisite chain, only 8 of them inhabited by anything other than wildlife, you can really leave your mark by creating footprints in the otherwise untouched sand. Revel in the warmth of the sun, stake out your own palm tree, discover new shades of turquoise as you gaze your fill at the ever shimmering waters, close your eyes and let the cool sea breezes caress you and embrace the state of complete relaxation you've been seeking for so long.Learn More about what's included at beaches
Whether you are a seasoned diver who has logged hundreds of hours under the ocean's waves or a beginner poised to dip your toes into the marvels of the undersea universe, the Turks & Caicos provides some of the most spectacular diving on the planet. The waters off the island chain boast 1,000 square miles of reefs and some of the most impressive walls of coral in the Caribbean, not to mention historic wrecks dated among the oldest in the Western Hemisphere. No surprise, then, that Scuba Diving Magazine has rated the Turks & Caicos one of the top 5 diving destinations in the entire world! So, when you're ready to experience the unparalleled mysteries of the seafloor for yourself and claim a first row seat from which to watch the antics of whales, spotted Eagle Rays, Manta Rays and a whole ecosystem of thriving marine life, there is literally no place better than the Turks & Caicos Islands.Learn More about scuba diving at beaches
If you thrill to the thought of observing nature in its pure and undisturbed state, then this place is your very own wonderland. From bird watching to whale sightings, the Turks & Caicos Islands offer something for every nature enthusiast. In the months between December and April, you stand an excellent chance of getting a glimpse, or perhaps even more, of a Humpback Whale. This is because the entire Atlantic herd of 2,500 Humpback Whales annually migrates directly through the twin underwater plateaus of the nearby Turks Banks.Learn More about local tours at beaches
If your interests run more to observation of the soaring denizens of the sky or the indigenous land-based tropical creatures, then you simply can't miss a trip to one of the salt ponds or inland marshes-protected habitats for a vast array of exotic fauna and flora. Here you can spot a multitude of richly plumed birds, ranging from the Great Blue Heron to Flamingoes. You'll also definitely get a kick out of the numerous iguanas that call these islands home. And no matter what your favourite area of the animal kingdom, you should not pass up the opportunity to meet Jojo, the local resident bottlenose dolphin who loves nothing more than to escort dive boats on their travels and sometimes, if he's in the mood, cavort with divers and snorkelers.

Goal remains same for Tigers: World Series title
We're taking a tour of October as the playoffs approach, with an in-depth look at those who are postseason-bound.
Having already explored the American League East champion Red Sox, the National League West champion Dodgers, the AL East-winning Braves and the AL West champion A's, we continue now with the Tigers.
We're taking a tour of October as the playoffs approach, with an in-depth look at those who are postseason-bound.
Having already explored the American League East champion Red Sox, the National League West champion Dodgers, the AL East-winning Braves and the AL West champion A's, we continue now with the Tigers.
There has been a sense of eminent domain with regard to the Tigers and the AL Central all season.
Winter activity made it clear the Royals and Indians -- and, ergo, the division itself -- had improved, but you would have been hard-pressed to find a rational soul who didn't acknowledge that the Tigers had the most talent of any AL Central club. It was just a question of whether or not that talent would come together as prescribed.
As was the case a year ago, Detroit's road toward the division crown could not be labeled Easy Street. From the club's early season bullpen maladies, to the slight regression of Justin Verlander and Prince Fielder, to the suspension of Jhonny Peralta, to the recent health issues for Miguel Cabrera, that road has had a number of potholes along the way. But the Tigers, on the whole, have never been anything less than an elite AL team, and, benefitting from the Royals' slow start, they essentially sealed the Central -- mentally, if not mathematically -- by posting a 15-4 record against the second-place Tribe.
And so the Tigers, who clinched a postseason berth Tuesday night, should have their third straight AL Central title locked up any minute now. Their magic number is one. Once the crown is clinched, they can turn their attention to what has always been the grander task at hand -- a World Series title, for their fiscally frustrated yet dedicated fan base and their impassioned owner.
When Mike Ilitch doled out all those dollars for Fielder before the 2012 season, it was an aggressive response to the Victor Martinez injury, and it played no small part in Detroit reaching the Fall Classic for the second time in seven seasons, only to come up empty-handed yet again.
With Martinez again a healthy part of the picture, and a playoff-prone veteran Torii Hunter brought aboard, the Tigers seem even more poised to go the distance, especially after Dave Dombrowski's midseason tinkering addressed the looming hole at shortstop with defensive whiz Jose Iglesias.
No wonder Baseball Prospectus' postseason odds report was, entering this week, giving Detroit a 23.7-percent chance of winning it all while no other team surpasses 13.4 percent.
That's no lock, of course. However, given the relative parity among the contenders and the vagaries of October and the beneficial bounces it requires, that's a pretty bold percentage, when you think about it.
Jim Leyland has a lot to think about as October approaches. For starters, there are the starters. A positive "problem" exists in the decision of how to align Verlander, Max Scherzer, Anibal Sanchez, Doug Fister and Rick Porcello -- all right-handers. Porcello, despite major strides, is likely to be dispatched to the bullpen, and Scherzer, despite an AL Cy Young Award-worthy season, is likely to follow the more tenured Verlander. Leyland has an ample array of options, though the lack of a lefty starter could be an issue against the A's or Red Sox, in particular.
The bullpen also could use another steady lefty presence beyond setup man Drew Smyly, as Phil Coke has had an inconsistent season. But Leyland certainly feels a lot better now about his 'pen -- with Joaquin Benoit having settled the closer situation -- than he did in April and May.
What matters most is how Miggy is feeling. His lingering groin and abdominal issues (he was pulled from Saturday's game with groin soreness and was out of the lineup Sunday) will prompt some extra rest in these remaining days of the regular season. Even with his health issues, Cabrera can still hit, but at what level his lower body will cooperate come October is a major mystery. One thing's for certain: Cabrera's situation doesn't make a slow Tigers team any swifter.
So, no, the Tigers are not without their issues. But 2013 has been all about exactly one goal -- a World Series title. And with the regular season winding down, they are right where we expected them to be, with as good a chance as any team to make that goal a reality.
The bats: With Cabrera posting another AL MVP Award-worthy offensive season, the Tigers are second only to the Red Sox in runs per game and OPS. Cabrera has looked quite a bit more human in recent weeks in light of his health woes, but the good news for Detroit is that Fielder has turned it up a notch offensively, and the lower half of the lineup has been helped by the surge of once-struggling catcher Alex Avila. If the Tigers put Peralta back in the mix -- and more on that in a minute -- they'll be even deeper.
The arms: Even with Verlander taking a step back from Best Pitcher on the Planet status, the rotation has been boosted by the AL Cy Young Award-quality season of Scherzer (20-3, 3.00). The Tigers have the best rotation ERA (3.49) in the AL. The aforementioned depth will serve Detroit well in the postseason setting, as it will need quality innings from the starters. While the bullpen is much better than it was early in the year, consistency remains a concern.
The MVP: The stunning surge of Chris Davis turned out to be the only thing standing between Cabrera and an unheard-of second consecutive Triple Crown. It will be interesting to see if Cabrera's injury-induced statistical decline in recent weeks will affect him on the overall AL MVP Award ballot, but obviously he's the Tigers' MVP.
The ace: Scherzer seized the statistical title with his breakout season, which he credits to an increased confidence in his curveball and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio. Of course, Verlander is still decreed the ace of this staff. You don't lose that title overnight, and, again, don't be shocked to see him in Game 1.
The unsung hero: Omar Infante has been banged up at times this season (he missed more than a month with a sprained ankle). But when he has been healthy, he's been an extremely valuable piece because of his stout defense at second and the most productive offensive season of his career. FanGraphs gives him a 3.0 WAR mark for the year.
The pressing question: Beyond Miggy's health is the Peralta situation. What will his October role be, if any? He's been working out and will be eligible to return for the final regular-season series against the Marlins. Iglesias has already meant so much to this team from a defensive perspective, so Peralta isn't expected to return to shortstop. But with Cabrera ailing, it's not out of the question that Peralta would fill in at third base. Or he could be a defensively challenged but altogether-worth-considering option for left field, given the dearth of production there this season.

Five Games For Life
Written by
The GN Staff
on 7/15/2004 for
More On:
We, at Gaming Nexus, were posed with a question recently. If we were able to only choose five games to have in our collection for the rest of our lives what would they be? The only qualifying agent would be that the game is released so that leaves out some heavy hitters such as
Half-Life 2
Doom 3
. So here are some of our staff's top choices.
Phillip Ellis
Staff Writer
NCAA Football 2004
NCAA Football 2004, because it's the greatest college football game ever. I would cry that I just missed out on 2005, but I would be able to live with 2004 for eternity I guess. It just never gets old, the gameplay is amazing, the recruiting, everything.
Call of Duty
Call of Duty, if I had an internet connection wherever I was. The gameplay is seriously awesome, the mods that have been made are great, and the people that play it are cool to play with. Nothing like a sixty-four player deathmatch. Especially respawning to your death.
Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising.
Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. Something about the 150 player multiplayer that turns me on. How could I live without those huge battles, and the teamwork that comes with the game? From driving the choppers to driving some fast inflatable boat away from my death. I just love it.
MVP Baseball 2004
MVP Baseball 2004, greatest baseball game ever. Except for that lefty-power bug. It irks me, but it's such a small problem that I don't even care. The gameplay is some serious stuff, and the depth of the game, for just a second year game, is freaking awesome. It's nice to finally get to play with my local minor league Charlotte Knights.
Full Spectrum Warrior
Full Spectrum Warrior, the most realistic war strategy game of all time. The graphics are sick, the teamplay is excellent. Everything falls into place. It was a little on the short side, but it has the Army Mode and Authentic Modes for me to fill up on along with the regular modes. No way I could pass taking this gem with me.
Cyril Lachel
Staff Writer
In the guise of a simple, outdated strategy game lies one of the most involving games of all time. X-COM is the type of game that demands hours of devotion, but rewards you with one of the deepest stories of any game of its type. The longer you play the game the most attached you become to your various workers, to the point where there is actual emotion when somebody dies (and you know they are never coming back to life). X-COM has several sequels, but none of them were able to demonstrate the programming mastery of the first game. There is no right or wrong way to play X-COM, which will lead you to play the game over and over with varied results. The graphics might start to look the same after awhile, but I can think of no finer time-waster than X-COM.
I'll be honest with you, I don't trust anybody that doesn't like Tetris. Being against Tetris is like being against water; it's the lifeblood of the video game industry, it's the very reason we play games. If you were to squeeze all your games together, that sticky stuff that comes out is the essence of "fun" ... something that Tetris was built on. It's the kind of video game everybody likes, even people who would never normally play video games. But even if it wasn't the worldwide success it is, even if it was just a simple, fun puzzle game I'd still take it with me. Tetris is the type of game I can play for hours on end, always trying to better my score and hone my skills. Certainly there are games that offer deeper stories and better graphics, but Tetris is the closest video games have come to perfection, and there's not a single reason I wouldn't want to keep it with me for the rest of my life.
SOCOM II: U.S. Navy SEALs
If I'm never going to be able to buy another online game, I might as well keep the one with the most depth and replay. As a fan of the original, I was smitten by SOCOM II from the very beginning ... but now that I've put in well over 300 hours in it, I can honestly say I appreciate it more now than ever. The levels are large and interesting, and no matter how long you play it, you're bound to find a new hiding place or sniper point. Add in your equally addicted friends, and you have a recipe for what is easily the best online experience on a console. With the addition of downloadable levels/content, there is no rush for a SOCOM III ... which would be a good thing for me, since I won't be able to buy it.
Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack
Thousands of pages have already been written about Rockstar's crime simulator, so why even bother trying to come up with something new to say? By now everybody who wanted to play the game already has, and those who are against the series have all but shut up. But I don't care what other people think of the game, for my money, the Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack is about the best value going. It features two of the best games of this video game cycle, and easily the best in-game audio ever devised. Furthermore, it holds up surprisingly well. Not one of the subsequent GTA clones -- Driver 3, the Getaway, True Crime -- was able to recreate the fun and excitement found in Vice City. These two games aren't perfect, but they do offer you dozens (if not hundreds) of fun things to do, which should keep me happy for years to come.
Mortal Kombat Advance
You heard me. I figure if there's ever a time where I start taking those other games for granted, I can toss in the mighty Mortal Kombat Advance and realize how good I have it. There is not a game out there that doesn't look good when compared to the horrible, horrible Mortal Kombat Advance. What's that, your game has no replay and terrible controls? Well, Mortal Kombat Advance features a fighting engine so flawed, even your punches and fireballs go right through your foes. Forget challenging, Mortal Kombat Advance is impossible, which is the perfect difficulty when you're sentenced to a life without new games.

Unreal Tournament 2004
I'm a big fan of killing people and I don't think that it gets any better than Unreal Tournament 2004. It definitely gives new meaning to the phrase "go play with yourself." If none of your friends are around, or if you're like Bart and you don't actually
any friends, you can always engage in some intense action thanks to the game's insanely brilliant AI.
Custer's Revenge
I think that I'd have to have a copy of Custer's Revenge. Not for myself of course, but just in case John gets lonely and decides that he needs some entertainment. Hardware geeks are just perverted like that.
NFL GameDay 2002
Sometimes it's good to step back and realize just how good you have it. For that reason I decided to throw a little kink into the cog and bring out the little gem known as NFL GameDay 2002. For you see, there are bad games, there are worse games and then there's NFL GameDay 2002. Shoddy graphics, stupid AI, muddy controls and graphics that looked like they were puked out of a trash compactor. Besides, the disc comes in handy when I need a Frisbee. And what about coasters? I need something to put my beers on. My girlfriend would kill me if I left rings on the coffee table.
Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love For Sail
When I want to relive the classic days of adventure gaming I usually stop by my shelf and pick up my old copy of Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love For Sale and slip it into the disc drive. Sure, I lost the scratch and sniff card that came with it but I'm more than capable of reproducing the smells of flatulence. (umm.. via my dog that is…) Besides, the game featured an engaging storyline that was intriguing for two reasons; 1) gamers were able to empathize with a loser whose attemps to get laid ended in failure and 2) the game was damn funny. Hell, to be honest I would probably be happy playing with five copies of Larry 7 for the rest of my life. Actually, make that four copies, I absolutely can't live without my copy of Larry 4: Charmed and Dangerous. Oh Al! You've done it again! That scene where Larry tries to score with Rush Mountmore? Priceless!
Super Puzzle Fighter
If there's one thing that never gets old it's a puzzle game. Sure, I'm a huge blood and guts sort of guy but my girlfriend has really turned me onto those stupid cutesey puzzle games with all of the shiny graphics. I'm a real man's man though, so I decided to go with Super Puzzle Fighter, probably the manliest one of the bunch, although that's not saying much.

Heroes of Might and Magic III
My first choice would be one of my all-time favorites, Heroes of Might and Magic III. I'm going to assume I get all the expansions for the game. Those, along with all the fan-based content, and I'm in turn-based Nirvana for a very long time. Now that I think of it, it's been a while since I loaded this gem up…
Galactic Civilizations
Next, I'd need some sort of 4X game. Galactic Civilizations is my favorite in that genre, so that'd be the natural choice. Again, tons of replayability in this wonderful title.
And of course I'll need some sort of RPG. While most are good for at least a second play-through, not many would hold up for the rest of my life. I'll have to pick Morrowind and its expansions for my third title. There's just so much to do in this massive game, and so many ways of going about doing it, that this should stand the test of time nicely.
Diablo II
So far most of my games are pretty slow paced, so I'll need a good hack-n-slash to round things out. As far as I'm concerned, no other dungeon-hack game has as much durability as the classic Diablo II, with expansion. I can still get sucked into that time vortex even years after its release, so it'll most likely keep my attention for many more years to come.
Finally, I'll grab something from the PS2 camp to fill out my roster. Let's see…insanely long play, horribly addictive, just-one-more-turn goodness…yep: Disgaea. I can never seem to devote enough time to this turn-based RPG—if this was one of a very few games I owned, I'd probably be able to give it the attention it truly needs.

Microsoft Flight Sim 2004
Perfect for practicing instrument flight procedures. While the FAA won't let me log the time I fly using FS2k4, I still get quite a bit of excellent practice from it. The interactive ATC and real-world weather provide a realistic and meaningful practice arena. Also, if I were limited to five games for the rest of forever, I'd be inclined to choose games that can be modded. There are literally thousands of add-on aircraft, panels, scenery, and utilities readily available to keep the experience new and exciting.
EA Sports F1 Challenge
In my opinion, Image Space has the best racing physics engine available today. And with the track modeling getting better and better every year, I find that running a race on F1C a few days prior to the real-world F1 race adds significantly to the enjoyment of watching the actual race. And, like FS2k4, F1C has a host of available mods that pretty much let me select any type of racing I might want to do at any given time. My latest addiction is Mini Cooper racing. Very tight and exciting racing, even at a top speed of 130 mph.
Call of Duty
The only FPS I've ever really liked. The ambiance is so immersive, and the game play so addictive, that I could easily get by with this as my one and only shooter.
Americas Army
Easily the best multi-player title around. If it was one of only five games I was allowed to have, I might even have time to get good enough at it to change my moniker to something other than Sgt. Meat Shield or Pvt. Sniper Bait. I could also probably work out that whole friendly fire issue that keeps my Honor level at something just above 'Trial Lawyer.'
X-Plane isn't quite as sophisticated as FS2k4 when it comes to ATC and some of the avionics, but it does do an incredible job of provding smooth and fast updates to the flight instruments. Piper Aircraft provides an incredible set of X-Plane downloads for all of the airplanes in the product line-up. It's worth having for those alone.
Charles Husemann
Unreal Tournament 2004
All of the different game modes and strong bot and developer support mean that it will take years to get bored with this game.
Still one of the classic single player games of all times and I could probably go through the game five or six more times before even starting to get bored with it.
City of Heroes
I'm still spending hour after hour on this game and I still haven't scratched all that there is in the game. I still have 3 archetypes to try out and with the recent content update there's still a lot of Paragon city that I haven't explored.
Prince of Persia : Sands of Time
Another great single player experience that I could play a couple of times through without getting bored with. It's hard to get sick of all of the cool moves you can get the prince to do.
ESPN Hockey 2004
I have to have one hockey game with me no matter what and I'm taking this one over EA hockey just because it supports Xbox Live.
John Yan
Senior Hardware Editor
Unreal Tournament 2004
Just a very polished first person shooter that does many things right. I love Onslaught mode and enjoy the back and forth action of capturing power points. The vehicles add a lot to the game and it's fun to see people scatter when the Leviathan rolls around the corner and starts to transform.
NCAA Football 2004
My love for Ohio State football brings me to EA's great game. Recruiting, dynasties, greatest finishes, and classic teams make this game an incredible sports title. If there's one game that had me playing multiple years just to see my recruits develop into high NFL draft picks, NCAA Football 2004 is it.
This classic on the Commodore 64 is one game that's not complicated, not too deep, but was incredibly addicting. There have been a few attempts to update the game to the new technology, but so far nothing's compared to the ole C64 classic. It says something that I still enjoy the game with its crude graphics and simplistic economy system.
One of my all time favorite games, Whiplash was a fun stunt racing game that I had a blast with on the LAN. The jumps and action of each chaotic race had me coming back for more and I really wish Gremlin Interactive did a follow up to this game. I have many fond memories of playing 8 player LAN at the OSU computer lab and spending countless hours racing against the computer while killing time.
Neverwinter Nights
For a Dungeons and Dragons multiplayer experience, not much comes close to Neverwinter Nights. I've lost many of nights playing this with friends and the incredible amount of modules available allows you to practically play this forever. It's not perfect but it's damn fun and a great multiplayer title.

Former Top Government Secrets Keeper Blasts Administration For Abusing Espionage Act To Punish Whistleblowers
from the sad dept
Now it's come out that a former government official, J. William Leonard, who was in charge of the Information Security Oversight Office was so disturbed by the Thomas Drake case that he filed a formal complaint with both the Justice Department and the NSA and offered to testify on Drake's behalf that "there were no secrets at issue" and that he had never seen "a more deliberate and willful example of government officials improperly classifying a document."
Leonard held his role during the Bush administration (which was fairly notorious for secret keeping in its own right -- though not to this level). So some may argue that it's purely a political move. But these sorts of roles generally aren't particularly partisan, and even when there are political party differences, this sort of effort is pretty rare.

Recesky Twin Lens Reflex Camera Kit
Lo-fi photography at its finest!
- Twin-lens reflex camera you build yourself!
- Uses standard 35mm film to make unique pieces of photographic artwork
- Shun those digital-camera owning unbelievers! Shunnnn!
With Instagram and Hipstamatic and Pixlr-o-matic, people are trying to re-create those über kühl leaky photos that are all the rage right now. Gone, apparently, are the days when you'd use actual photo-sensitive film to capture images, wait for them to come out of the lab, and sort through your double-prints with friends.
There's something visceral about sorting through glossy prints, and seeing what you captured in high-contrast and what was lost in bokeh no-man's-land. Analog is relatively unpredictable, and that's part of the fun. Unfortunately, supply and demand rules mean that, with everybody going digital, demand is low - and that means the price of cool analog cameras is high. Not anymore.
Now you can own your own twin-lens reflex camera - you know, the kind you shoot from your hip looking down into the viewfinder from on top? We've helped keep the price down by taking out the most expensive part of the camera: the labor. What you get is a kit and a set of easy-to-follow instructions. Give it a good hour of your attention, and you'll be shooting some truly amazing pictures.
Looking down into the viewfinder, you'll be entranced by the 3-dimensional effect composing with both eyes gives you, and when you get your photos back from the photo-printer, you'll fall in love all over again with your hand-made camera! Naturally, you'll want to scan those photos and post them on Twitter. I guess we can't escape digital photography after-all!
Features and Specifications
- DIY Twin-Lens reflex 35mm camera kit
- Easy and clear illustrated-instructions included
- Takes about an hour to assemble
- Contains everything you need except film!
- Shutter speed: fixed 1/125 sec. Multiple exposures possible
- Focus: 50cm to infinity, F6
- Recommend ISO400 35mm film

I've been thinking about fear a lot lately.
In general, I'm a worrier. Waiting and uncertainty are not my best friends. So, enter arthritis, stage left.
Safe to say I've done a fair share of panicking in the past 5 months. And some of it has been justified - it IS a very scary thing to come to terms with at my age (not that it's a picnic at any age!). The only certain thing with RA is that there are NO certainties. All I wanted to find out in the first couple of months was my 'prognosis'. I still terrify myself, every day, with thoughts of what might happen to me, my hands, by the time I'm 40.
But I've also noticed a different sort of fear which grips me daily. A fear of my own body and of 'doing too much'. Example: today I woke up with a bit of a throat infection. Nothing serious so far, a 'normal' person would just take some paracetamol, forget it and go about their day. My RA is behaving, I feel super duper apart from the throat, I should be happy.
Instead, I've been stressing all day: "Hmm is this a new RA symtom? Do inflamed throats have something to do with inflamed joints? Oh god, is my immune system going to go bonkers fighting the sore throat and will the arthritis flare up again? Am I growing an alien fungus inside my body, planted by green men from mars? Etc etc etc". RA makes me FEAR my body. I don't know what to do a lot of the time. There are too many 'should Is' and 'what ifs' - should I rest? Should I go to my yoga practice? If I go into work will I feel better or worse? Will travelling to a different climate flare me up? If I run will I regret it?
Even when nothing's inflamed (right now) I'm terrified of when it will happen again (after the sore throat?!) I didn't go to yoga today. I sat in with a friend, ate a massive pizza and watched Sex and the City. Hrmph. Did fear win, or was I being sensible? I don't even know. I just hate being afraid of living my life, the way I want to live it. Eleanor Roosevelt said that you:
"gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
Is this true for us RA-ers or is our fear often justified? I think I succumbed too easily to the RA fear today. Then again, maybe I just wanted an excuse to eat a huge pizza.

Thanks for dropping by my blog earlier. I love the quote; I might just borrow it for my Twitter account if you don't mind. I've also added a link to your blog on mine; I think the more people can read about how others are coping with RA the better – that's why I started my blog.
Cheers and I hope all is well with you!

Hey Laurie, my first comment!! How exicitng! :DReplyDelete

If you've got time to go out and take non-party related photographs whilst in Vegas to party then you're not partying correctly.
If you could combine your "sin-trip" with you annual vacation, LV is a great start/end for the following roundtrip (I did it a decade ago): Grand Canyon - Monument Valley - Arches NP - Capitol Reef NP - Bryce Canyon - Zion NP.
Thanks for all the tips!Didn't realize Hoover Dam is so close, I'll definitely visit there as I like heavy industry and Hitchcock movies, and I believe the bridge is ready. Need to pick up that 12mm Oly lens before going there, though.Might end up doing Death Valley, but Antelope Canyon is to photography what the macarena is to music. You can PM me your hate mail.
Yes Hoover Dam is a monument to the Big Machine and the Big Project. The turbine room is simply awe inspiring. Take the tour. I last saw it in 1952. I can still remember the sound.
So I'm going to see Peter Lik's Vegas galleries tomorrow. He sold HIS Antelope Canyon image to some restaurant for $0.5Million or something. All he did was toss some dust into one those damned light shafts. I am so jealous.
Peter Lik image of Antelope Canyon sounds like a bastard child of kitsch and cliche. I need to check out his gallery to see what all the fuss is about.
Well I just scoped out the 2 Peter Lik galleries at Caesar's Palace ... Starting at $6000, with plenty of stuff in the very affordable $15,000 to $80,000 range.

The Opening Pitch
The UC Santa Barbara softball team will return to Campus Diamond this week for its third Big West Conference series of the season against Cal State Northridge. The Gauchos will host the Matadors in a noon doubleheader on Friday and a single noon game on Saturday.
UCSB Swept By Cal Poly, Splits With Fresno State
Last weekend, the Gauchos were swept by Cal Poly during a three-game conference series in San Luis Obispo. The Mustangs took two on Saturday by way of 12-5 and 6-0 scores and closed the series with a hard-fought, 6-5, 11-inning victory. The Gauchos then traveled to Fresno State on Monday and split a doubleheader with the non-conference foe. UCSB dropped game one, 3-1, before defeating the Bulldogs, 1-0.
Offensive Behavior
The Gauchos currently rank second in the Big West and 33rd nationally with their collective .301 batting average. If they remain on pace, they could break the UCSB single-season batting average record, which was set last season with a .291 average. The Gauchos are among the Big West's top-three teams for slugging percentage (.387), runs (156), hits (286), RBI (140), triples (5), total bases (370), stolen bases (37) and at bats (955).
Fly Girls
UCSB leads the Big West with its nine sacrifice flies this season and freshman Amanda Ziegler leads all players, and ranks 13th nationally, with a team-leading three.
Beristianos' Bruises
Sophomore Jessica Beristianos continues to lead the Gauchos and the Big West with her single-season program record 11 hit-by-pitches, which ranks her 19th nationally with a 0.32 per game average. Not all of her at-bats result in a welt though. The shortstop leads UCSB in doubles (8), walks (15) and is second with 23 RBI. Batting .288 on the season, she accounted for three of UCSB's seven total hits at Fresno on Monday.
The Ocho
Senior second baseman Christine Ramos is a force to be reckoned with at the plate. She leads the Gauchos, batting .391 this season - .409 in Big West games - and has a team-leading 50 hits, 54 total bases and 13 stolen bases. She has had hits in all but five games this season and went 3-for-6 with a run in the narrow 6-5 loss to Cal Poly on Sunday, marking her 13th multiple hit game of the season. If the senior finishes the season as the Gauchos' hits leader, she will be the only player in program history to lead the team four consecutive years.
No Place Like Home
Across their seven games at Campus Diamond, the Gauchos have outscored their opponents 35-15 and have outhit their opposition .356 to .199, with seven players batting over .350. UCSB's ERA is 1.17 at home and the team has allowed just eight earned runs on its home field.
Starting With A Cobb Salad
Freshman Krista Cobb leads the Gauchos in the circle with her 2.05 ERA and .202 opponent batting average, ranking seventh and second, respectively, among Big West pitchers. Her 12 wins rank her fifth in the conference and mark the most by a Gaucho freshman since Jennifer Davis posted 16 as a rookie in 2004. Cobb was masterful against Fresno State on Monday, tossing a complete game and allowing just two hits and one walk, while striking out five. The two hits are the fewest she has allowed in a complete game since holding Santa Clara to a pair on Mar. 25.
Sophomore Katie McWhirter has had quite a bit of success this season as the Gauchos' designated player. She currently is third on the team with her .333 average and first with a .471 average in Big West games. Against Cal Poly last weekend, she hit a team-leading .600 during the conference series. The sophomore also scored the winning run on Monday over Fresno State.
Getting Ziggy With It
The Gauchos' number two batter - Jessica Ziegler - is currently second on the team in batting average (.338) and second in the conference for hits (42), behind Ramos. She has had hits in all but eight games this season and accounted for two of the Gauchos' seven hits at Fresno State.
She's Got The Wright Stuff, Baby!
Senior Tiffany Wright leads the team in both runs and RBI this season, with 24 in each category. In her final season she is making her mark on the Gaucho record books. She currently ranks third in career RBI (110), fourth in doubles (33) and seventh in hits (178). Wright - UCSB's career home run leader (26) - needs just one more round tripper to break into the Big West's all-time top-10.
Ziegler Squared
Cobb is not the only freshman that has made an immediate impact. Third baseman Amanda Ziegler is one of the Gaucho team leaders at the plate. She is batting .286 in Big West games and is third on the team with 22 RBI this season. She went 2-of-3 with two runs and a RBI in game three against Cal Poly.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
UCSB posted a season-high 15 hits in the 11-inning loss to Cal Poly on Sunday. The Gauchos have tallied double digit hits on 11 occasions. The most hits in a seven-inning game was 12 in a 10-1 win over Tennessee Tech on Feb. 20.
Pitching Points
Currently the Gaucho pitching staff owns a 2.88 ERA, a huge improvement upon last season's collective 3.82 ERA. Cobb has made a team-leading 21 appearances, but junior MeLinda Matsumoto isn't far behind with 18. The junior is second on the team with her 2.93 ERA and has posted 33 strikeouts.
Flirting With Fifty
Now in her second season as the Gauchos' head coach, Brie Galicinao is just one win away from the 50th of her career. In her two seasons at the helm, she has compiled a 49-41 record. If she is able to guide the Gauchos to a win in one of the next four games, she will reach 50 wins quicker than any previous softball coach at UCSB. Kristy Schroeder was the quickest, as she captured her 50th victory at Santa Barbara during her 95th game at the helm of program.
Scouting Cal State Northridge
Cal State Northridge enters this weekend with a 23-12 overall record and a 3-3 mark in Big West games. After sweeping Pacific in its Big West opener two weeks ago, the Matadors were swept by Long Beach State by way of 6-2, 3-2 and 6-1 scores last weekend. Christina Saenz leads the team batting .363 and has 20 RBI. Deborah Duran is 16-8 in the circle for the Matadors and has posted a 1.96 ERA with 68 strikeouts.
Matador Matters
Cal State Northridge owns a 43-20-1 all-time record against the Gauchos. Last season, Northridge won the series, sweeping a doubleheader on Apr. 12 before the Gauchos won the series finale by way of a 4-0 score.
Big West Update
Two weeks into Big West play, defending champion Long Beach State currently tops the conference standings with its 5-1 league mark. There is a three-way tie for second between Cal Poly, UC Davis and Cal State Fullerton. Northridge is currently in fifth with its 3-3 record and UCSB and UC Riverside are in a tie for sixth (2-4). Pacific (0-6) rounds out the standings.
Cinco Packs
UCSB is now offering "Cinco Packs" of tickets for baseball and softball games. Fans can purchase general admission tickets to use at any five baseball or softball games of their choice for one low price. Tickets purchased through the "Cinco Pack" package can be used at either baseball or softball. The packages are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors 55 and over, and $12 for youth between 4-13. To purchase tickets, call 893-UCSB, visit the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus or click here.
Softball Sidekicks
Youth teams are invited to Campus Diamond to be a part of the Softball Sidekicks program, hosted by UCSB. Teams can sign-up to participate in on-field activities, including taking the field with the Gauchos prior to the start of the game. Players and coaches can attend the game free of charge. Click here to sign up and for more information.
As Seen On TV
Next weekend, UCSB will head to Long Beach State to take on the defending Big West Champions. The Saturday, Apr. 18 doubleheader between the 49ers and the Gauchos will be televised on ESPNU.


text: Top Producers Will Make Tough Decisions in 2014 January 30, 2014 10:30 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Top Producer Editors Email Farm Journal Media's Top Producer events this week attracted over 800 of the nation's largest producers, representing more than 4 million acres. This number includes 150 young farmers who attended the Tomorrow's Top Producer program for young farmers. "Despite extreme winter weather, we welcomed another outstanding group of the nation's top farmers and ranchers," said Steve Custer, Executive VP/COO of Farm Journal Media. "Top Producer Seminar attendees not only hear from the industry's best experts, but have the opportunity to network with like-minded producers, as well as sponsors." A bearish sentiment filtered through the crowd this year as speakers and panelists talked about the challenges and transitions ahead with market changes in 2014. Many attendees discussed tough decisions on expansion and land buying plans. Setting and maintaining a strategy is the key take away from this year's seminar, which led with the theme, "Ahead of the Pack." Producers from 30 states attended over 40 different educational sessions for information to help them make decisions on money, marketing and management in today's volatile farm economy. "As the market hits another wake of volatility, producers crave new business skills to manage risk and improve their operations," notes Top Producer Editor Jeanne Bernick. "It takes continual education to stay head of the pack. We worked hard to provide high-level information and take-home value at our annual event." The Top Producer Seminar also features the annual Top Producer of the Year award. Finalists for the award, presented by Challenger and co-sponsored by Bayer CropScience and SFP, are Lee Lubbers, Gregory, S.D.; Jay and Cara Myers, Colfax, N.D.; and Joe Zumwalt, Warsaw, Ill. In addition to Top Producer Seminar, the sixth annual Tomorrow's Top Producer program was held Tuesday, Jan. 28, and hosted 150 of the nation's brightest young producers. The program was sponsored by Bayer CropScience; Koch Agronomic Services; CASE IH; Deere & Company and SFP. It is designed to introduce young and beginning farmers under the age of 35 to the business of farming. This year, Tomorrow's Top Producer hosted two tours for young farmers to the Chicago Board of Trade. The tours were sponsored by SFP. A reception on Tuesday evening allowed young producers to network with top producers from across the country. Premier Sponsors of the 2014 Top Producer Seminar include: AgriGold; Agrium Advanced Technologies brand ESN; Apache Sprayers; BASF; Bayer CropScience; Cargill; CASE IH; Challenger; Dow AgroSciences brands Enlist, Instinct, Mycogen and SureStart; DuPont Pioneer; Firestone; Koch Agronomic Services, LLC brand Agrotain; RCIS; SFP; Syngenta; and Top Third Ag Marketing. Co-sponsors are: Advance Trading; Clifton Larson Allen; Integris; Gulke Group; Kennedy and Coe; Michelin; Novozymes; Soybean Premiums.org; and Wyffels Hybrids.

The newly published book "Dear Abigail" explores the bonds among Abigail Adams and her sisters, while "A Traveled First Lady" features letters and other writing of Louisa Catherine Adams, John and Abigail Adams' daughter-in-law
QUINCY – Mention "the Adams women" and the first one anyone thinks of is Abigail, the stalwart wife of President John Adams, who famously reminded her husband to "remember the ladies" in matters of political and economic rights. But the authors of a pair of just-published books say Quincy's most prominent family included three other women who were remarkable in their own ways – Abigail's sisters, Mary Smith Cranch and Elizabeth Shaw Peabody, and Abigail's daughter-in-law Louisa Catherine Adams, the wife of President John Quincy Adams.
"Abigail and her sisters were unusual for any time," said Diane Jacobs, the author of "Dear Abigail" (Ballantine). "Besides their closeness, it was unusual for women in that period ... and three siblings to be so intellectually equal and passionate for learning."
Jacobs tells that story in part from newly discovered diaries of Mary Cranch – now owned by one of her descendants – and letters written by Elizabeth Shaw, from the Albany Institute.
She'll discuss "the three sisters of Weymouth" during a lecture Wednesday at the Adams National Historical Park visitor center in Quincy.
As for Louisa Adams, Massachusetts Historical Society editor and author C. James Taylor says the letters and diary-style reflections in "A Traveled First Lady" (Harvard University Press) show the determination and perception that made her the U.S. capital's foremost social hostess in the early 19th century.
"She gave dinners and had senators around the table that you thought wouldn't have talked to each other," said Taylor, who co-authored the collection with Margaret Hogan, a former Adams Papers editor at the historical society.
The book includes a foreword by former first lady Laura Bush.
The daughter of an American merchant in London, Louisa Johnson Adams was accustomed to such events, which she called "sociables." When she died in 1852, at 77, Congress gave her a rare honor by adjourning for the day.
The most dramatic episode of her life came almost 40 years earlier, while John Quincy Adams was an overseas ambassador. In 1815, Louisa took a dangerous wartime journey that Taylor said could be made into a movie.
With servants and her young son Charles in a Russian-style coach, she traveled more than a month from St. Petersburg to Paris, across battlefields where dead soldiers from Napoleon's invasion of Russia could still be seen, on roads where highwaymen lurked.
Taylor said Louisa chronicled the journey not just to tell a dramatic personal story, but also "to show what women could do" at a time when females couldn't vote or own property, and were still expected to defer to their husbands.
Jacobs said Abigail Adams and her sisters shared that conviction. The daughters of Weymouth's leading parson, the Rev. William Smith, they lived as assertively as they could.
She said all three were "proto-feminists" who believed women should have equal education and rights. Abigail and Elizabeth both looked up to Mary, the oldest sister. Elizabeth, the youngest and most widely read of the three, yearned to be a published writer.
"People today can empathize with that," Jacobs said.
Abigail not only had an intellect and character equal to the her sisters, but Jacobs said "she rose to every opportunity" that life with John Adams presented, from Braintree to Paris, London and Washington.
While Jacobs focuses on the sisters' relationships, Taylor said Louisa Catherine didn't have an easy time fitting into such a prominent family – or adjusting to rural Quincy after a life in London. ("Had I steped into Noah's Ark I do not think I could have been more utterly astonished," she wrote in an 1802 letter.)
That was years after Abigail's bonds with her sisters allowed her to accompany John to Europe, when he was ambassador in France and England.
"She couldn't have gone if she couldn't leave their two sons with Elizabeth and Mary," Jacobs said.

Maximum Power Opener is a high impact intro/opening track with dubstep and grime elements.
The track starts out with a subdued intro that sets an anticipating tone, and the track then moves on into a driving dubstep beat section, with strong bass and synth elements. It is followed by a breakdown with glitchy elements and then a final impact in the end.
The track is great for openers, logo animations and powerful intros where you want to add maximum impact. The glitchy rhythmical elements also give you a lot of options for the timing when editing.
You get four variations of the track included with this download:
1. Maximum Power Opener – Full (duration: 0:34 – starts at 0:00 in the preview)
2. Maximum Power Opener – Condensed (duration: 0:20 – starts at 0:35 in the preview)

I can't do anything! Grr! RAR! I want to scream! Would that help? I can't do any work on any new comics! I can't think! My brains turned all into goo. How did I do it with Space Losers? I just made up these characters one day and all these stories came from it.
Apperently I can't do that again. I either get some story idea but can't work out the detail or I make up these characters with nothing to do.
Sorry, I don't know why I'm telling you this stuff. I'll go now.

Courtesy of WPI Sports Information
WORCESTER, Mass. - Senior Kelly
Johnson scored the equalizer with just 1:26 to go in
regulation and Celena Dopart broke the deadlock with the
game-winner 4:05 into overtime to give WPI a thrilling 2-1 victory
over visiting MIT in NEWMAC Field Hockey action on Saturday
afternoon. The win gives WPI its first conference win of the season
(1-0), improving to 7-1 overall. MIT falls to 7-2 overall and 0-1
in the conference.
WPI was kept off the scoreboard for most of the game before getting on the board late in the second half. Senior midfielder Jackie McDonough nearly tied the score with six minutes to play, but was denied on a breakaway opportunity by MIT goalkeeper Keri Dixon. The homestanding Engineers kept the pressure on however, in an attempt to tie the score before time ran out. The WPI offense earned a corner with under 90 seconds to play in regulation, setting up Johnson's game-tying heroics. Maggie Wigley took the corner, which was stick-stopped by Dopart and smashed into the back of the MIT net by Johnson for the equalizer. The goal was Johnson's team-high fifth of the year.
WPI staved off a late MIT rally to send the game into overtime.
WPI controlled the ball for the first few minutes of the overtime period, leading to the winning goal. McDonough intercepted the ball and moved it deep into MIT territory before sending a cross in front of the goal mouth and connecting with Dopart, who powered a shot past Dixon for WPI's fifth consecutive win.
MIT jumped out to the early lead in the first half on a Kimberly Barker goal 3:28 into the contest, assisted by Katie Kauffman. The goal was Barker's team-leading 10th of the season. Dixon made five saves for the visitors. Allie Griffin made nine saves for the hosts.
MIT held a decided advantage in penalty corners, 15-6, in the game. The Cambridge Engineers outshot their Worcester counterparts 13-11, although WPI took the five of the final six shots of the game as momentum shifted in the hosts' favor.
WPI hits the road for its next contest, when they will take on Nichols this Tuesday evening at 7pm in Dudley. MIT is also on the road on Tuesday night at 7pm when they will face Endicott.

CRESTVIEW � The Church of God recently held its annual Feast of the Tabernacles in nine locations around the United States.
CRESTVIEW � The Church of God recently held its annual Feast of the Tabernacles in nine locations around the United States.
However, a Crestview family chose to attend the event farther south.
Sandra and Art Dreaden, their son Cody and his wife, Kim, both Crestview High School alumni, spent the eight-day feast in Mendoza, a 452-year-old colonial city in western Argentina.
The adventure, which began last month with a flight into Santiago, Chile, was part of the family's desire to broaden its cultural horizons.
"It's just so expanding to be with people with other cultures; to see how they live but see how, basically, we're so alike," Sandra said.
Visiting South America also meant a climate change. The Dreadens' bus almost didn't make it to Mendoza in time for the celebration when snow blocked the Andes mountain pass between Chile and Argentina.
Lions and lambs, wine and olives
The Feast of the Tabernacles is the Church of God�s celebration of Old and New Testament teachings, Sandra said.
"We keep all of the Holy Days in Leviticus 23 that Christ and the New Testament church kept," she said. "Feast of Tabernacles, to us, pictures when Christ returns to this earth; the whole lion-lies-down-with-the-lamb business."
Each day began with a church service, leaving afternoons free for sightseeing with the Dreadens� Argentine hosts, along with explorations to vineyards and olive groves outside the historic city.
A team of translators ensured the "international" guests � those not from Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia � were included in all the services, dinners and entertainment.
Art Dreaden celebrated his birthday during the sojourn, receiving a special present when he exchanged neckwear with another man, adding a Tabasco-themed tie to others in his collection.
Time to recharge� and dance
"To us, it's a time of the year when we get our batteries recharged, get our spiritual life on track, and find what's really important in life," Sandra said. "It's a time to rededicate our lives to what's really important."
It was also a time to experience new cultures, as church members from different countries performed native dances while dressed in traditional clothing.
Cody and Kim Dreaden added a touch of Americana with a well-received swing dance demonstration.
"They did these moves where he swings her legs around his neck and flips her upside down," Sandra said. "The Latin brethren had never seen anything like it and were exclaiming, 'Don't drop your wife!'"
This year's feast came with tangible and spiritual blessings. When Cody returned to Santiago, with cell phone reception, an exciting email was waiting for him.
The University of Florida senior, who graduates in December with a mechanical engineering degree, received a much-hoped-for job offer.
"There were many blessings on this trip," Sandra said.

Lightning Name Rick Bowness As Associate Coachby Staff Writer / Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning have added NHL coaching veteran Rick Bowness to the position of associate coach on head coach Jon Cooper's staff today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced.
"We are extremely pleased to add Rick Bowness to our coaching staff today," Yzerman said. "With 24 years of NHL coaching experience as both a head coach and an assistant, we are confident Rick will be a valuable addition. We look forward to having him behind the bench next season."
Bowness spent the previous seven seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, beginning his tenure there as an assistant and later being elevated to associate coach. The Canucks reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs in all but one of Bowness' time behind the bench, including an appearance in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.
A native of Moncton, New Brunswick, Bowness has served on the coaching staff of six teams during his coaching career, the Winnipeg Jets (1984-89), Boston Bruins (1991-92), Ottawa Senators (1992-96), New York Islanders (1996-98), Phoenix Coyotes (1999-06) and the Canucks (2007-13), in varying capacities. He was the head coach on five occasions, with the Jets in 1988-89, Bruins in 1991-92, Senators from 1992-96, Islanders from 1996-98 and in Phoenix in 2003-04.
Bowness began his coaching career with the Sherbrooke Jets of the American Hockey League, serving as a player/coach during the 1982-83 season. He spent the following four seasons as an assistant coach for the Winnipeg Jets before returning to his hometown in 1987 to act as the coach and general manager of the Moncton Hawks of the AHL. Bowness had his first NHL head coaching stint when he took over as interim head coach for Winnipeg for the final 28 games of the 1988-89 season.
The following year, Bowness joined the Bruins organization. He coached the Maine Mariners of the AHL for two seasons before taking over as head coach in Boston for the 1991-92 season. That year he led the Bruins to a 36-32-12 record and a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. From there Bowness was named the first coach of the Ottawa Senators and spent three and a half years as head coach with the expansion franchise. While the team struggled on the ice, Bowness was regarded for his positive style and was credited with the development of many of the Senators' young stars. Bowness joined the Islanders on December 30, 1995 and worked two seasons as associate coach. He took over head coaching duties in January of 1997. Bowness then went on to coach in Phoenix for the following six seasons, including a stint as interim head coach in 2003-04.
Prior to beginning his coaching career, Bowness played seven seasons, from 1975-92, in the NHL as a right wing with the Atlanta Flames, Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues and Winnipeg. He appeared in 173 games, recording 18 goals and 55 points with 191 penalty minutes. He was originally drafted by the Atlanta Flames in the second round, 26th overall of the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft.
