Today's devotional is a collection of advice on 'quiet time' from other readers. I would like to thank you all for your tips and advices which I am sure are going to bless others greatly!
Filoiann – A suggestion would be to plan ahead of time what you will need for your quiet time. To get either a basket or box that will fit your bible, pen or pencil, note pad or journal, daily devotional, bible dictionary, Webster's dictionary or bible commentary. These are all suggestions but bible pen and paper are a definite must.
Anonymous – Start with 10 minutes, then you feel like you've accomplished something, then if you want to make it longer you can, and you won't be weighed down by the guilt of constantly thinking you should have done more.
Louise – My most focused prayer time occurs when I journal. I seem to be less distracted than if I just try to pray. I always start by reading a devotional, then either just read more scripture around what the devotional covered or ask God what He would like me to read, or read further in another book I am reading and cover those scriptures. Then I prayer journal. However, the hardest part is always just sitting down and doing it before I get caught up in my day's activities!
Kelley – This is probably my favourite subject. I am passionate about it. There are no end of ways to do it, it is something that changes and grows like tides. Each person sort of has to enter the water from where they are on the beach. Some only have time for splashing around in the tide pools and others want to head for deep water. Sometimes it is the constraints of life that make the difference. Such as seasons of life with small children at home, make heading for deep water a far fetched horizon. But it is only a season.
My favorite thing right now is that I put on an IHOP "Worship with the Word" segment, I print out the days Bible reading and start copying it by hand. Something is happening between the prayer going on in the music, and the copying scripture, and my heart that creates a space for me with God's heart. It takes sooo much time, I won't kid you about that, but even if you did parts of it it is powerful. I do not rush in the copying. I taste the words and pray them over with the music.
I fear this will sound complex and intimidating. I know that if I only did this for half an hour I am so totally refreshed. It is easy to fade away for hours, literally. But you don't have to.
For those who do not have a daily devotional time, you really have no idea what you are missing, and if you wonder why people talk about loving the Lord and you don't feel like you do…. that is probably why! you are sooooo missing out! lol! He is very good company!
Joyce – A tip that would be easy for most people to integrate into a busy life where longer devotional times are simply not possible, is listen to the Bible and be alert for a verse or phrase that seems to step into the light for you. I think we all have them if we are actively listening. Something is said that just seems to "pop". Copy down what that word is on an index card or post-it-note. Every time you get a chance through the day get the card back out, think about each individual word, pray about what it is saying, ask God how it applies to your life. Talk to him about it as you go through your day. Let yourself have many "mini" devotional times instead of one long one. Take it deep through repetition. By the end of the day you will likely have it memorized. Taste it. Journal about it at the end of the day if you can, if not, just ponder it one last time before you go to bed. There are so many ways to incorporate devotions into life, just experiment until you find something that seems to click with you. It's all good.

What is self-honesty?
Self-honesty is getting real with yourself. Getting straight with that little voice in your head that pipes up when you're doing things you want to do that aren't good for you or when you're brushing over feelings or thoughts that deserve to have a closer look.
It's important because if you aren't in line with how you truly feel about things, why you do what you do, and what your true desires and motivations are, then you're not going to feel fulfilled and it might even hinder your success.
We get it, that might sound a little woo-woo, but you can use this list of 20 questions to sit down with yourself and have some quality self-reflection. You can use these questions to have a tough internal conversation with yourself, and then you can share your answers if you want to have a serious deep talk with your hubs, partner, or a really good friend.
Write down your answers so that you can go back to them and re-answer these questions to see how you've grown or assess any improvement you've made in the different ares. Remember, self-reflection is a process that needs revisited occasionally. You could keep a journal of these questions monthly or even every few months so that the conversation is ongoing.
20 Questions
1. How am I feeling right now? Why do I feel this way?
2. Am I usually in the present moment or am I frequently lost in thought?
3. Do I frequently come up with excuses and justifications for either doing or not doing something? Are these excuses for my self or others?
4. What am I most strongly motivated by right now?
5. What would you do with your life if nobody was watching, judging or commenting?
6. Do I feel satisfied with my past? How do I feel about your life and what has happened to me?
7. What is the best thing that ever happened to me? What is the hardest struggle or challenge I've faced?
8. Is it easy for me to let go of painful experiences? Do I forgive easily or hold grudges?
9. Is there anything from my past that I'm still holding on to? Why can't I release it?
10. How do I feel about my live right now? Family, friends, relationships or job?
11. Do I feel like I am being true to myself in the way I live and think?
12. What do you want people to remember about you when you die?
13. What problem happening in the world troubles me most?
14. What are some of my negative tendencies, even small ones? Are there any ways I unintentionally hurt people?
15. Do I have any unhealthy behavioral or thinking habits? What is the true reason for these?
16. Am I satisfied with who I am as a person, (physically, mentally, personality, etc)?
17. Is there anything about myself that I want to change? What are my biggest weaknesses?
18. Is there anything I don't want others to know about me? Why is this?
19. How easily do I admit someone is right, even if that makes me wrong?
20. Overall, am I accepting? kind? grateful? positive? Why?
Use this question if you can't answer one of the above:
BONUS: Why can't I answer this question? Do I not have an answer or do I not want to because it's challenging?
an Honest note about getting real
This whole process is hard. But it's important to realize that self-honesty isn't self-criticism. The point of these questions isn't to help you face your shortcomings and flaws, but to help you know and accept yourself for who you truly are.
"Self-honesty is an act of self-love, of acknowledgement and respect of who you really are and of belief in your own immense inner potential and capacity for change" - Alis Anagnostakis
When you answer these questions, try to be objective. Write down the facts about the way things are for you, and don't try to give the answers you wish you had or things you wish were true about yourself.

Stefan is a HP calculator enthusiast that got himself a HP-35s and have a done a man's work providing two (so fare) rather lengthy programs for Curve Fitting and Matrix Operations on the HP-35s.
Mind you, as this thread (about Stefan's matrix program) at the MoHPC forum shows: If you need to do serious matrix work, clearly you should consider a RPL machine.
By the way, do check out Stefan web content, he is an inspiration to any kind of web author and also he turns out to be a norgesvenn!

The final story I am sharing this week is from Caroline, here is her story…
My name is Caroline, wife to Simon, step-mum to Courtney and Mum to George, Jack and heaven-born Max. We live in Blackpool with our two border terriers Ruby and Poppy and can often be found holidaying in the UK in our caravan.
Not just because it is baby loss awareness week. Not just because I'm writing this blog.
But because it was one of my baby boy's biggest milestones – now even writing that I don't know if it should be boy's or boys'. You see, October 6th 2018 was Jack's first birthday. A milestone. A celebration. A day of happiness and joy. But these days will always be bittersweet and tinged with sadness. Because Jack is a twin.
Jack is a twin and yet other than in the womb and in our memories he will never know his twin brother. Max died at 19 weeks gestation and yet was born two minutes after his brother. So even the day of Jack's birth was tinged with sadness.
I then had to arrange a funeral whilst caring for a newborn. Grieve whilst enjoying those first few weeks. Accept people's 'congratulations' whilst feeling that life was particularly unfair.
And it was hard. I can't pretend otherwise. And I think it's harder knowing that it will always be the same. For every milestone Jack hits, we will know that Max should be hitting them too. The first day of school; high school; possibly university or driving test, I will always be thinking that we should be celebrating for both of my babies.
I battle with how we make this fair for Jack. He doesn't need to know that mummy closed the door after his first birthday and cried her heart out. He doesn't need to know that sometimes when it's late at night, all snuggled up in bed that mummy has silent tears rolling down her cheeks. Or that when she sees him kissing his doll that she wonders whether he knows he was a twin.
He doesn't need to know but if he ever asks, he will get all of these answers and more.
Our first night together was spent on the delivery suite; Jack and I in the bed and Max in a cuddle cot and they each had a little teddy from the charity, 4 Louis. One teddy stayed with Max and one came home and lives in our bedroom. My four year old likes to ask whose teddy it is, and I always tell him the truth (although I am not sure the understanding is there just yet) and Jack will be told the truth as well.
"In my heart, you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Though it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever, in my heart"
Precious Child by Karen Taylor-Good. (played at Max's funeral)

This page is for sharing my latest reading inspirations. I hope you find them thought-provoking and engaging too!
Julia Glass – Three Junes (debut novel)
Winner of the US National Book Award for Fiction 2003
Time plays like an accordion in the way it can stretch out and compress itself in a thousand melodic ways. Months on end may pass blindingly in a quick series of chords, open – shut, together – apart, and then a single melancholy week may seem like a year's pining, one long unfolding note. The first day back I recall in fugue-like detail, with perfect pitch, but as for the next few months, the autumn and early winter before my mother's death, I remember only snatches of a superficial tune.
Barbara Holland – When All the World Was Young
My career goal was to stay unimportant. Underpaid. Fancy-free. If you're seriously badly paid, you never get fired and you can get away with murder. And I had children and husbands, and the writing I always did late at night when the children were in bed and the dishes washed. Made brazen by my (day) job, I wrote stories and essays for magazines, and then tackled whole books. A competitive job, a New York job, that was the last thing I needed. I have a T-shirt that says WILL WRITE FOR FOOD. That's me. Rich isn't me. Frankly – not that I'd know – rich sounds boring.
Nick Hornby – Slam
It was all right if I didn't want to speak to someone, but who did she think she was, sitting there outing and looking the other way? She'd probably never even heard of Tony Hawk, or Green Day, or anything cool, so what gave her the right?
I thought about out sulking her. she was sitting on the sofa, sunk down low, her legs stretched out, and looking away from me towards the food table on the wall opposite. I sunk down in the same way, stretched my legs out and stared at the bookshelf by my side. We were so carefully arranged that we must have looked like plastic models, the sort of thing you can get in a Happy Meal.
I was making fun of her, and she knew it, but instead of sulking harder, which would have been one way to go, she decided to laugh instead. And when she laughed, I could feel some part of me flip over. All of a sudden I was desperate to make this girl like me. And as you can probably tell, my mum was right. She was officially gorgeous.
Paullina Simons – The Bronze Horseman
Not only did Tatiana rent a hotel room, not only did she get a key to a room that was warm, that had a bed and a view of the harbor, but it has its own bathroom and in the bathroom was the thing that Alexander had told her about, the shower thing that poured water on her from above. She must have stayed under the hot steam for an hour.
And then she slept for twenty-four.
It took Tatiana over two months to leave Stockholm.
Seventy-six days of sitting on the pier bench looking east past the Gulf, past Finland, to the Soviet Union while the seagulls cried overhead.
Seventy-six days of –
Austere Stockholm was softened by spring. Tatiana bought yellow tulips and ate fresh fruit right from the market vendors, and she had meat – smoked hams and pork and sausages. She had ice cream. Her stomach grew. She thought of remaining in Stockholm, of finding a hospital to work in, of having her baby in Sweden. She liked the tulips and the hot shower.
But the seagulls wept overhead.
Lily Bret – Only in New York
As soon as I pick up a pen or pencil, a sense of calm comes over me. I feel that the pen or pencil is directly connected to my heart, my lungs, my arteries. Nothing separates us. Of course, I type on a computer and an iPad and a smartphone. And I take great care with my sentences on each of those devices…. and I do love keyboards and the sounds they make. But they are not connected to me in the same way as a pen or pencil.
Ruth Park – A Fence Around the Cuckoo – Winner of the Age Book of the Year Award for Non-Fiction 1992
Now and then the maternal aunts descended upon Te Kuiti, usually in pairs. I use the word descended because their visits were exactly like that – a shower of gold or twinkling beads. It was a blissful time for me and many of my classmates as well, because I spent playtime and lunchtime minutely describing what they did, said and wore, right down to the jazz garters with the little golden bells on them…
They were the children of the redhaired Irish Mary Ann McBride, who emigrated at seventeen, and a Scandinavian seaman who'd run away from home in Stockholm because he'd had six sisters who bullied him. Just the same he named his six daughters after them…
'It just shows you can't escape Fate,' said Rosina. the second youngest, who tended to be a bit mystic and read Marie Corelli.
They treated their husbands – and they had quite a number – simply abominably, and were adored in return.
Arianna Huffington – Thrive
Gratitude works its magic by serving as an antidote to negative emotions. It's like white blood cells for the soul, protecting us from cynicism, entitlement, anger, and resignation. It's summed up in a quote I love (attributed to Imam Al-Shafi'I, an eighth-century Muslim jurist): my heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.
Mary Karr – The Art of Memoir
…a good story told often enough puts you in rooms never occupied…
….be generous and fair when you can; when you can't, admit your disaffinity. My general idea is to keep the focus on myself and my own struggles, not speculate on other people's motives, and not concoct events and characters out of whole cloth.
No matter how much you're gunning for truth, the human ego is also a stealthy, low-crawling bastard, and for pretty much everybody, getting used to who you are is a lifelong spiritual struggle. Start trying to bring yourself to the page, and fear of how you'll come off besets even the most forthright. The best you can hope for is to rip off each mask as you find it blotting out your vision.
Bruce Springsteen – Born to Run
'We hit areas of the highway where eighteen-wheelers were parked, engines running, drivers asleep in their cabs, backed up for miles, unable in the ice and snow to make it up the steep mountain grades.
One night the road vanished before our eyes; there was so much snow it was impossible to tell the location of the highway's shoulder. We had chains on our tires but we still did plenty of ice-skating over some very treacherous terrain. Our belly-dancing gal pal was getting pretty nervous, so we pulled to a stop… There was just a city of snow falling from the sky and gathering around us. It was quiet, dead desert quiet. A truly heavy snowfall can be unnerving. Back east we usually experience the freedom that comes with a good snowstorm. No work, no school, the world shutting its big mouth for a while, the dirty streets covered in virgin white, like all the missteps you've taken have been erased by nature. You can't run; you can only sit. You open your door on a trackless world, your old path, your history, momentarily covered over by a landscape of forgiveness, a place where something new might happen….. A lot of snow, however…. is a different thing. that feeling of freeness turns to confinement. The sheer physical weight of the snow becomes existential and the dread of a dark, covered world sets in. …too much quiet, too much weight, too few boundaries and no dimension. The world had been planed down into a snow-blind table you could easily slide off the edges of.
Steve Bisley – Stillways
We stayed at our cousins' farm for the next two weeks. The shearers came to shear the mobs of squat merinos. Lanky blokes in dusty utes threw their swags on rusty beds in the shearers' quarters. They rolled skinny fags as they thought of things to say, and then thought better of it and didn't speak. They stuck pictures of their kids and the missus above their beds, to ease the nights….they never looked at you when they spoke and their words slid out sideways…
We sat at an open fire with them one night after tea, us kids. The fire caught us and held us…They didn't pay much attention to us, but I loved being around the quiet ease of them. We all did, you could feel it…
Sylvia Plath – The Bell Jar
It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York. I am stupid about executions. The idea of being electrocuted makes me sick, and that's all there was to read about in the papers – goggle-eyed headlines staring up at me on every street corner and at the fusty, peanut-smelling mouth of every subway. It had nothing to do with me, but I couldn't help wondering what it would be like being burned alive along your nerves.
I thought it must be the worst thing in the world.
Eleanor Catton – The Luminaries – Winner of The Man Booker Prize 2013
His old acquaintance was very much changed since their last encounter. His proud face was much disfigured, and a decade in gaol had lent a muscled bulk to his chest and arms. His posture was familiar, however: he was standing with his shoulders slightly rounded, and the backs of his hands against his hips, as in the days of old. (How strange, Ah Sook thought later, that one's gestures remain the same, even as the body changes, weathers, and gives itself over to age – as though the gestures were the real vessel, the vase to the body's flower.
Tim Winton – Breath
She was a foot away. She smelled of butter and cucumber and coffee and antiseptic. I wanted to press my face into that belly, to hold her by the hips, but I sat there until she stepped away. And then I got up and left; I didn't care what she said. I rode home slow and sore and raddled'.

Kaivac in 2017: The Year in Review
December 28, 2017 http://kaiv.ac/4c1VdF
Icky the Mop / ISSA / KaiTutor / Kaivac / No-Touch Cleaning / OmniFlex
As another year comes to an end here at Kaivac, we can't help but look back at the events and accomplishments of the last 12 months. Let's look back at the highlights of 2017.
Stop the Mop
Do you know the truth about mops? In Kaivac's biggest campaign of the year, we shared these disgusting but true facts about mops. Mops are microbial compost heaps, and only remove about 50% of surface bacteria. Because of the Stop the Mop campaign, many businesses, such as BTG Laboratories, have switched to hygienic spray-and-vac technologies, improving cleanliness, safety, and cleaning worker dignity.
Icky Spreader
The one opponent to Stop the Mop is Icky Spreader. At Kaivac, we encourage healthy debate of the merits of different cleaning methods, especially when that debate is backed by solid science. Icky may be popular on YouTube and at ISSA, but unfortunately, he's not very effective at his job. But don't take our word for it, watch the Mopumentary and get the full story from the mop himself.
Distributors Choice Award
You like us, you really like us! In May, Sanitary Maintenance revealed the winners of its fourth annual Distributor Choice Award. Distributors chose their top 40 products of the year from a field of nearly 350 entries. The OmniFlex SUV made the list, and it's easy to see why. The SUV is an all-in-one multipurpose platform that replaces and outperforms mops and buckets, janitor's carts, wet vacuums, dust mops, and in some cases, even auto-scrubbers. Welcome to the future of cleaning.
Kaivac KaiTutor
One of our most exciting new innovations from 2017 is KaiTutor, an onboard training system designed to help custodial workers excel on the job. The cleaning industry's high turnover rate can cost companies hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. KaiTutor brings new employees up to speed with an onboard training interface, putting high quality cleaning at their fingertips. Loaded with videos, KaiTutor provides hands-on training to workers where they need it most, and can quickly turn inexperienced workers into highly productive cleaning professionals.
Data Powered Change at ISSA
In September our team flew out to Las Vegas for the annual ISSA/INTERCLEAN convention. Our focus this year was on Data Powered Change, and how scientific measurement can help drive a cleaning business. We had the opportunity to speak with many cleaning professionals about data and measurement. Their answers speak to the future of the cleaning industry! Read them here.
Trash Compactor
The brand new Trash Compactor was a huge hit on the trade floor at ISSA. This vacuum-powered wand removes air from trash bags in seconds, instantly shrinking them down. This results in reducing trash volume by up to one-half, allowing workers to collect more at a time, stay on task, and reduce trips to the dumpster. See it in action here.
New Office
In October we made a move to a new corporate campus in Hamilton, OH. The new campus more than doubles Kaivac's facility size (it includes a training center!) and has allowed Kaivac to triple it's staffing, bringing new jobs to the community. "We're thrilled with our new space," says VP of Marketing Tom Morrison. "Besides providing a positive and energetic work environment, it's great having our organization together in one location. More importantly, it will support the growth we anticipate in the coming years."
Easterseals Outstanding Community Partner
Kaivac had the honor of being recognized as Easterseals' 2017 Outstanding Community Partner. Since 2004, Kaivac has partnered with Easterseals of Greater Cincinnati to provide jobs for individuals with disabilities. Twenty Easterseal employees work in our manufacturing center, producing more than 60 unique parts used in Kaivac equipment. President Bob Robinson, Sr. accepted the award at Easterseals' annual awards gala. "It's a tremendous honor for Kaivac to receive this award," said Robinson. "We are proud of our relationship with Easterseals and proud of the people we have hired through Easterseals. We're helping to make their lives more productive, and they are helping us make products that help make our customers more productive as well." Watch this video to learn more about Kaivac's relationship with Easterseals.
It's been a great year for us here at Kaivac, we look forward to what 2018 will bring!

Do I miss working in an office and having a boss around? I asked this to myself a while ago and I it made me think.
There are pros and cons being employed but even if there are many advantages with this set-up I am very much happy being self-employed and working from home. Of course I am very much thankful to my former boss who trained me, he's a great boss and he taught me many important lessons in architecture and the business itself. He served as a solid foundation in my learning process, I won't be able to accomplish everything if I didn't get the chance to have that special training from his office.
I only worked in two offices right after graduating college. I first joined a team of electrical contractor and and structured cabling contractor in which I was deployed on site. I witnessed how a structure's being built in close range. It was a tough job being deployed in site because the comforts of going to a regular office building in the metro is way too incomparable. Although I admit I enjoyed this part of the job where I can much action but didn't love the stress. There's so much going on in a construction site.

My second employment was when I decided to leave for better Architecture practice. That's my last formal job employment before I started working freelance. Me and hubs knew what we wanted to do from the start that's why we challenged establishing our own architecture/design home business.
So do I miss being employed? Yes and no. Yes because my time routine was more fixed and I tend not to do much overtime. No because I love my family, the two boys in my life who are the most important of all. Working freelance gives me the opportunity to take care of my little baby and my dear husband. It also strengthens our hopes of being self sufficient in time, earning on our own being our own boss.

Palladium star performer in 2018
January 10, 2019
Pat Heller
For all the news coverage about strong U.S. stock markets for much of 2018, you probably didn't realize that the performance of the price of gold outperformed all major U.S. stock indices last year.
Even though the price of gold fell slightly at the end of 2018 compared to a year earlier (its first annual decline since 2015 and only the fourth in the past 16 years), it still did better for the calendar year than the typical U.S. stock. Here's the 2018 performance record for precious metals and major U.S. stock indices:
|– 2.1%
|– 3.9%
|Dow Jones Industrial Average
|– 5.6%
|Standard & Poors 500
|– 6.2%
|– 9.6%
|Russell 2000
Note: the change in U.S. stock indices does not reflect dividends paid, which could improve the net results of the indices.
However, one year does not make an absolute statement about the state of the U.S. stock market. So, how did these same assets perform in the two years ended Dec. 31, 2018?
|Dow Jones Industrial Average
|Standard & Poors 500
|Russell 2000
|– 1.0%
|– 2.8%
Even a two-year comparison does not tell the whole story. So how have things fared thus far this century? Here is how they have performed since Dec. 31, 1999:
|Russell 2000
|Dow Jones Industrial Average
|+ 86.9%
|Standard & Poors 500
|+ 70.6%
|+ 63.1%
As you can see by the comparisons of results over the differing time periods, the results can be dramatically different. It matters very much what you use for the beginning and ending dates of your analysis.
How will precious metals and the U.S. stock markets perform in 2019? I don't know. But I can see some factors that will affect markets:
Stock prices will not get a further boost from the major new tax cuts that were enacted at the end of 2017.
The class action lawsuits filed as a result of 2017 and 2018 convictions and plea bargains for manipulating (and overall suppressing) precious metals prices are likely to result in less price suppression activity in 2019.
The fall in U.S. stock markets following the Federal Open Market Committee's decisions to increase the federal funds interest rates in their September and December 2018 meetings is almost certain to put greater pressure on the Fed to curtail indicated future interest rate hikes in 2019. It is even possible that any 2019 and even 2018 hikes may be reversed before the end of 2019. Cessation of federal funds interest rate increases would almost certainly contribute to a declining value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.
There are many other factors that will impact U.S. stock markets and precious metals prices in 2019. The important lesson to draw from these performance comparisons and important factors in 2019 is that it would be prudent to include an allocation to precious metals as part of one's investment portfolio, an allocation that I call "wealth insurance."
Warning flags of coin dealers you may want to avoid.
As promised last week, here are some business practices I have observed practiced by some marketers that to me indicate dealers who may be looking out for their own interests rather than the interests of their customers:
Dealers who make cold calls looking for customers.
Dealers that use "teaser" ads or "bait-and-switch" tactics. I've heard from multiple customers who think they are savvy enough to insist that they would only buy the "too cheap" bullion-priced product offered who tell me that the sales representative on the phone just would not allow them to make such a purchase.
Dealers promoting leveraged accounts without full disclosure how this magnifies the profits for the dealer but puts the buyer, often without adequate disclosure, at substantial financial risk of magnifying their losses.
Dealers trying to steer you with the specter of "gold confiscation" when referring to the U.S. government's 1933 mandatory fully compensated gold recall. Invariably, these companies never mention to most practical alternative if purchasing gold is truly risky – just buy bullion-priced silver.
Dealers trying to push customers into buying numismatic coins when they want to buy bullion-priced items. This is definitely the sign of a dealer looking out for its own profitability rather than the customers' best interests.
Dealers who try to steer customers to establish a Precious Metals IRA. It does not make sense to place a tax-deferred asset into a tax-deferred account. There are easily another 10 drawbacks why a precious metals IRA is actually one of the worst ways to own physical precious metals.
Dealers who only sell to, but will not buy from, the public. In my experience, such companies tend to have very high selling prices.
Dealers who insist on completely avoiding the use of the postal system for payments and product shipments. Are such dealers afraid of running afoul of the U.S. Postal Inspectors?
Dealers who offer to break the law in order to make a sale. Self-evident.
Dealers who are normally unable to deliver physical product within 28 days, as that makes them subject to additional federal regulations. Do such companies have the financial strength to serve customers if they cannot deliver much sooner?
Dealers who prominently hype their Better Business Bureau membership. This may seem counter-intuitive. However, if you review the histories of major dealers who have collapsed and hurt large numbers of customers, they pretty much all prominently hyped their wonderful Better Business Bureau ratings.
Dealers who heavily advertise to sell gold and silver in radio and television commercials, or put large ads in the newspapers. The market for retail buyers of precious metals and numismatic products is a small percentage of the population who might be exposed to such promotions. In order for such marketing to pay off, too many of these companies charge prices much higher than most dealers.
In years past, it happened much more often than today that dealers used their own grading practices rather than industry standards such as those promulgated by the American Numismatic Association, or the major grading services. This tended to mask that truth that the coins they called a certain grade would not merit that grade as generally accepted in the industry. Still, if you now see a dealer stating something like "grading based on xx years' experience" you would at least want to be very careful in trading with them.
This list is not exhaustive. It is possible that some wonderful dealers may engage in one or more of these practices. If they do, you may want to ask them why they do so.

David Beckham's son Romeo makes a racquet with Andy Murray at Queen's Club ahead of grass court tournament Aegon Championships
Murray meets Becks and his second son and they hit a few tennis balls around under Goldenballs' watchful eye
DAVID BECKHAM is one of sport's biggest sticklers for the phrase 'practice makes perfect' — and now he wants his son to heed that advice.
Becks' second son Romeo was invited to hit some tennis balls back and forth with Britain's biggest tennis star Andy Murray as he gets ready for the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club.
The traditional Wimbledon warm-up event starts today, and if Murray gets off to a winning start in his first-round match against Nicolas Mahut, he can thank the Beckhams for a thorough practice session.
Romeo, 13, was shown the intricately trimmed lawns of Queen's as dad David made sure he got some thirst for the game from the top Scot.
Murray, 29, finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic in last week's French Open as the Serb did the Career Grand Slam at Rolland Garros.
But the Scot could hardly be in better form heading into the grass court season after progressing well on clay — widely regarded as his least favourite surface — with another assault on Wimbledon just over a fortnight away.
Murray has also re-hired coach Ivan Lendl, the mentor who led him to success at Wimbledon and the US Open, a month after splitting from French coach Amelie Mauresmo.

Romeo, like brothers Brooklyn and Cruz, has been on the books at Arsenal — but the two elder brothers were let go by the North London club.
So with Beckham Snr keen to keep his lads involved in sport, Romeo tried his hand at a few returns with Murray on the lawns of West London.
And Romeo showed a good eye for the game with some neat forehands as the world No 2 kept him on his toes.
Murray will bid for a record fifth title at Queen's this week.
The Beckhams also bumped into Aussie loudmouth star Nick Kyrgios in the bowels of the stadium.
Kyrgios posted a snap on Instagram after Beckham Jr asked him for a snap.
The 21-year-old said on social media: "Romeo Beckham asked for a photo with me, I asked for a photo with his dad #legend."

I just watched a bit of Creation Magazine Live (a creationist broadcast on Revelations channel) and they suddenly started talking about people whobelieve life starts at conception but don't want to push their beliefs on others by making abortion illegal. They drew an analogy between that and saying 'I'm against slavery but I don't want to push my beliefs on others so let's not make slavery illegal.' Let's pause for a moment and let that sink in.
OK, so slavery is a commensurable analogy for abortion?
Let's recap on the significant differences in the issues, problems and questions surrounding slavery and abortion.
For (the historical) slavery, issues included: racism, abduction, capitalism, the possibility of increased unemployment if slaves were freed, the favouring of mulattoes (biracials) over blacks, leading to blacks/biracials seeing lighter skin and straighter hair as beautiful; the rapes and relationships that led to biracial peoples' existence; Darwinism, trade, cultural genocide, displacement, identity, the economy, etc etc…slavery was a complex, multi-layered issue not only reducible to simple racism. (I'm not denying that racism allowed it all to happen – there are disturbing parrallels between the thinking that led to slavery and the thinking that led to Nazism, I'm just saying it was complex and left a very harmful historical aftertaste even after slavery was abolished, such as racism, the KKK, etc. Some African Americans claim that girls use relaxers and weaves due to ideals of white beauty that stem from the time of slavery when biracials were favoured by the masters, who were their fathers/relatives and by the community such as being allowed into church if their skin was lighter than a comparison object or if their hair could pass through a fine-tooth comb and other similar entry requirements.)
All of these issues are not present in abortion; it is actually a much less complex and far more ancient and traditional issue. The only similarity between the two is that they bothraise the question of whether the "victim" (African people and foetuses) are real people, though even this conclusion is somewhat clumsy and people can't really be compared to foetuses; the foetuses do not feel pain, aren't self-aware, capable of language, intelligence, civil rights movements etc, and aren't abducted and traded so they can work halfway across the world.
Most importantly, there are issues with abortion that are not present in slavery: namely, there is a woman who does not want to bear a child. She may be very young, still in education, a rape victim, an incest victim, coerced into having sex by a boyfriend, initially wanting a baby but then spilt up with her partner, already has five kids with her husband, is in danger of honour killing if she is found pregnant, is on welfare/benefits and doesn't want to raise a child while living off the state, wants to focus on her career, knows that she is unfit to be a mother, would be suicidal if forced to have this child (as happened when a 14 year old was raped by her friend's father in Ireland. She got pregnant and, as is usual in Ireland, her parents decided to take her to the UK for an abortion, as it is illegal in Ireland. Her parents asked police if they should bring back the embryo's DNA as proof against the rapist. The girl was given an injunction by the Court not to leave the country to get an abortion, so she became suicidal and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. The Supreme Court speedily heard the case and held that she could have legally had an abortion in Ireland all along, as her life was in danger.) There may be other reasons, such as medically being unable to bear a child without putting her health at risk, or having a baby with special needs which she doesn't have the resources, emotional capability or time to meet; not wanting to have children, not wanting distant, abusive or rigidly conservative parents to know she is not a virgin, wanting to wait until a financially stable nuclear family is established before having children (mostly women who hold a traditional/conservative view of a family), as well as other reasons.
What gives anyone the right to decide for her?
According to the guys on Creation Magazine, the Bible does not actually say that abortion is wrong or give any endorsement or prescription for or against it.
Their entire position is based on the description of Rebekah's unborn children as "children" not "foetuses". If the scribe or leader who wrote this had used a different vernacular all those years ago, anti-abortionists might not exist today! The other piece that they rely on is in Genesis where God gives humans dominion over animals but not over humans, which they interpret to be a prescription against cloning and abortion…I can't really infer that from the text, but whatever works for them.
These illogical, very weak arguments are all that the cream of the fundamentalist cult can come up with against abortion. Honestly, I can't figure out why anyone still listens to the pro-lifes. I always saw them as a worthy adversary, but their arguments are fallacious and nearly all of them are Bible-based, which means that if you aren't a fundamentalist Christian (ie read the Bible literally) those arguments fall flat. Funny how they could've used the Qur'an and Buddhist scriptures to back up anti-abortion views, too, but they didn't.
Finally, just as it is offensive to compare non-comparable issues to the holocaust, (and, I should mention, using the word 'crusade' to mean a good thing) it is offensive to compare abortion to slavery. I barely know anything about slavery but I'm very, very sure that hundreds of years of suffering (which Christians used the Bible's endorsements of slavery to justify, although Leviticus only permits owning slaves from neighbouring countries and the Bible advocated kindness towards slaves) should not be compared to abortion, even if you see abortion as killing. I'm horrified at murder and rape but I'd never compare those things to the holocaust or to any genocide or slavery, no matter how bad I feel for the victims and their families. The 14 year old rape victim above was raped and then persecuted by her own country's legal system, but she wasn't 'persecuted like a Jew in the holocaust' – that's silly, and actually obscures the ethical, legal, social and human rights issues of this girl's case. We need to keep things in perspective.

After Tiger has read the book, we discussed briefly about the concepts of comedies and tragedies, and grouped the stories into either category. Tiger's favourite story by far is The Taming of the Shrew. He is tickled by Petruchio's character and wit.
After reading the story, we watched a very good BBC animated production to see it come alive:
However, nothing beats watching the actual performance at The Globe. Tiger remembered laughing so much throughout last summer's performance that it was well worth the time and cost to be there.
You can have a feel of what the performance was like from the clip below:

Warm Winter Could Lead To Cat Explosion
More Strays Already Showing Up At Shelters
The mild winter is being blamed for an explosion of kittens.
"We're seeing an extremely warm winter for normally this time of year," said Meg Stephenson, executive director of the Animal Friends Humane Society. "We're definitely seeing higher temperatures; we are already seeing puppies and kittens coming in."
Cats usually prefer to breed in warmer weather, but the springlike temperatures during the winter could add hundreds or even thousands more cats to the 8,000 typically taken in by Animal Friends.
"You can see how busy we are and how quickly those cages fill up," Stephenson said. "We try and not to fill every cage because we are left with no option."
The Humane Society is asking area residents to adopt stray animals or take in strays as foster pets.
"Our biggest goal is to get this mom with nursing babies into a foster home where they can grow up to be spayed or neutered and thus adopted," Stephenson said.
Stephenson said the warmer weather could also breed more fleas and ticks than usual. If a hard frost doesn't kill them off, the upcoming spring and summer could be bad for animals.

Today we headed into the city to celebrate my father's 69th birthday. I can't believe that he's 69 already, it seems like just a few weeks ago that it was his 30th birthday and he sitting on a little chair with his head in his hands lamenting the fact that he was already 30. I was about 10 at the time and didn't understand what the big deal was.
|showing me how to be a doctor
(dad was in med school when I was a baby)
I grew up in the era when fathers didn't get particularly involved with their children but as I got older he taught me trigonometry when I was years too young to learn it at school, he tried to teach me to play the trumpet (not much luck there - I'm not musical at all), he helped me make an abacus for a science project, he helped me to make an altimeter for another science project, and the list goes on. He was always generous with letting us play with his "toys" - did I want to take the boat out for the weekend? Did I want to test drive his new motorcycle? Most importantly of all, he made me feel that I could do anything I wanted if I tried. It never came up that I was a girl and that some things weren't "girl" things - it was only after I was older and had left home that I saw this gender bias. Here's wishing him happy birthday and many many more to come.
Today's word of the day is harbinger (HAHR-bun-jer noun - 1: one that pioneers in or initiates a major change : precursor ; 2: one that presages or foreshadows what is to come). Is the revolt in Egypt a harbinger of what is to come in the middle east? Were the revolts in Tunisia the harbinger of change in the Middle East? Did it foretell the changes in Egypt, and perhaps more countries to come? I hope and pray that things will go well for them. So much of what we in the Western world take for granted are being fought for by the people in these countries - things like freedom of religion and speech, a democratic government - a say.
My pleasures today: having a good conversation with my mother ; finding just the shelf I was looking for at Home Depot ; going into Princess Auto and finding the perfect little clamps on sale - perfect for camping tarps.

The Census Bureau is looking for help auditing software that preserves the privacy of data the agency will collect and analyze in the 2020 population count.
In a request for information, the Census Bureau said the open source software it's developing for the count is designed to work with confidential data and will perform privacy-preserving data analysis. But because it hopes to freely redistribute its software with test datasets, it wants a third party to audit the software for privacy vulnerabilities. The software will be used for the 2020 Census of Population and Households, the 2017 Economic Census and other data products.
The vulnerabilities Census wants to find include the improper mingling of sensitive and non-sensitive data, the movement of data from the sensitive category to the non-sensitive category without a privacy analysis and the improper implementation of a privacy-preserving algorithm, according to the RFI.
The agency said its software will be written in the Python programming language, maintained in a git-based software repository, run on a Linux server an may possibly use the Apache Spark data analysis platform to achieve scalability.

Big Data Analysis Helps Students Choose College Majors
Majorfit.com launches new assessment that helps students choose college majors based on their competencies and aspirations. The company has been accumulating Big Data for years and has applied successfully to find student's suitability and strength.
Los Angeles, CA, July 25, 2017 --(
)-- Only 27 percent of college graduates in the United States have a career related to their college majors if a recent report finding by the Washington post is to go by. In another survey by Career Builder, a whopping 51 percent of employed college graduates confessed that their jobs have very little to do with their college majors. Unfortunately, on average, a 2016 college graduate owes the government more than $37,000 on student loans. Certainly, the students need a guide to help them choose college majors that are perfect fits for their talents, skills, and interests. Majorfit.com, a leading publisher of student assessment tools, has launched a program that will help the students make informed decisions when choosing college majors. The program consists of some self-administered assessments that will effectively guide students to determine what careers will be most relevant to their strengths.
"Many high school students work relentlessly for the 4.0+ GPA, yet most of them do not know what major they want to choose, and very few take time to explore the viable career options. Consequently, the college dropout rate has reached 38 percent and a greater percentage change their majors before finishing their college programs,'' says Majorfit's Co-Founder, Sara Park. "Considering the high cost of tuition in both public and private universities, the undecided bright young minds often waste a fortune and valuable time pursuing courses they won't practice. The need to guide them when choosing the majors is urgent. Majorfit.com will help them decide majors that lead to realistic careers."
Another Co-Founder, Steven Choi says, "We use Big data analysis to find student's suitability and strength. That's totally different approach than any traditional personality test."
According to Choi, no special requirements are needed to take the self-administered assessments; any student can do them. The tests can be taken online, and results are instant and self-interpreted. All they need is a computer and an internet connection to access the website.
The Majorfit assessments are based on the fact that graduates tend to work in environments that are realistic, enterprising, social and more importantly relevant to their skills. The tests are structured to help the students determine their competencies and aspirations concerning the occupational information available in their database so that they can easily relate their skills with viable college majors. Majorfit aptitude test (MAT) is developed by big data analysis based on recent brain research and epistemology. This is why interpretations of the results are significantly different from most psychological theorized tests such as the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The new website has now been brought up-to-date with thousands of jobs at all skill and education levels as well as data collected from over 500,000 cases of interviews and tracking records. The interface works well on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.

Going away on a holiday is stressful enough, what with the planning, packing and making sure that you get to the airport in time for your flight.
However, as a lone parent travelling with a young child, the stress probably trebles, and increases even after most passengers are relaxed and comfortably settled in their seats on the plane.
It is no wonder one woman was left in tears after her 19-month-old toddler bawled in her lap for a full 20 minutes as their plane prepared to land.
Facebook user Jolene Shen was part of the cabin crew on a flight when she witnessed the incident, according to her post last Tuesday (Sept 26).
Shen wrote: "Yesterday, upon landing, there was a toddler of 19 months squirming in her mother's lap and as she was buckled up for landing , she began to cry and scream in earnest
"She screamed and buckled (sic) and fidgeted throughout the 20 minutes of landing time, big fat tears rolling down her face. Pushing and trying to slip the infant seat belt down her legs, looking for freedom.
"The mother, a petite lady who looked like she's in her 30s, tried her best to hold on to the little squirming, screaming bundle, consoling her child and managed to time and again put the seatbelt back on her child's waist.
"She held her child gently, had her head to her child's and whispered softly the whole time. But the child was beyond consoling. She wanted to be freed."
Shen noted that other passengers around the pair took "deep breaths of air for patience", while some "gave the mother empathetic glances".

However, Shen's objective was not to shame the woman with her story, but to highlight the difficulty parents face when travelling alone with young children.
As a mum herself, Shen said she could empathise with the woman, whom she had thought was being stoically patient, but only later realised that she was actually shedding "silent tears of helplessness" as her child continued crying.
After the seatbelt sign went off, Shen said she went up to the mother and rubbed her arms as she reassured her by saying: "You did a great job".
Hearing that line, the mum broke down in tears, either "because of my words and/or from the relief that the flight was over", and began sobbing into the child's shoulder.
"I felt tears rushing to my eyes cos as a mother myself, I knew exactly how she felt. I hid behind the curtain, composed myself and went back to the mother to tell her what a good job she had done," Shen wrote.
Shen was thankful that everyone on the flight had been extremely understanding: "No one berated her for not being able to control her child. No one gave her dirty looks."
And she feels more empathy and support should be given to those travelling alone with young children.
"Please give them more support the next time you see a mother struggling with a child. Be it a kind word of encouragement, or offering to hold the child for a few moments while the mother have her meal, would be a great help to the mother."
Her post has resonated with many, garnering over 700 reactions and 160 shares on Facebook.
The stress is real for mothers travelling alone with their kids on flights. So real that some even take pre-emptive measures to appease their fellow passengers, just in case their little ones create a ruckus inflight.
One mother in China flying on a domestic flight with her child was compelled to dish out 'goodie bags' to those in their first class flight from Ningbo to Xi'an.
Each bag contained a pair of earplugs, a few pieces of candy, and a handwritten note, written from the toddler's point of view.
The note read: "Hello! I'm Wendy from Ningbo. I'm one and a half years old. This is not my first trip, but my mother takes care of me alone and is worried that I might cry and disturb you. After all, changes in air pressure can make my very grouchy. Good kids don't disturb people in public places and I will try my best to keep quiet.
"Here are some earplugs and some candy, I hope that they will ease your troubles. Wendy wishes you a pleasant journey."
The story went viral across China social media after it was shared by a flight attendant who was touched by the mother's gesture.
While exemplary, we think such actions may end up putting unwanted pressure on parents.
Who knows, packing 'goodie bags' may just end up being another item on the mile-long checklist parents have to do before a flight. We wouldn't want that, would we?

After beginning with open strings and simple note values, learners become acquainted with the 'cuckoo call' (minor 3rd) as a basic interval for guidance purposes and for mastering good intonation. Volume 1 makes use of nursery rhymes, all of which are supplied with words to ensure that the melody lines can be easily grasped as a whole. All the fingers are introduced in succession, as well as simple accidentals and note values from whole note (semibreve) to eighth note (quaver). From the very beginning the volume places a special emphasis on reading musical notation and offers training in moving from one string to another and basic bowing strokes. Large print and delightful colour illustrations make the volume especially appealing to children. Enclosed is a sheet of cut-out musical cards that allow young learners to invent many puzzle and guessing games and later to master scales and pitch names.
To accompany this volume we recommend "Spielbuch für Streicher" ('Recital Pieces for String Ensemble', BA 9698) and "Weihnachtsspielbuch" ('Christmas Pieces for String Ensemble', BA 9699), both edited by Egon Saßmannshaus. They give even the youngest learners an opportunity to try their hand at string ensemble playing.
The authors
In 1976 Egon Sassmannshaus, one of the most experienced and renowned violin teachers in Germany, published his tutor "Früher Anfang auf der Bratsche". This standard work for young string players quickly became the most popular and best-selling tutor in the German-speaking countries for beginners on the viola. His son Kurt Sassmannshaus functioned as co-editor of the English-language edition, "Early Start on the Viola" (BA 9686, BA 9687, BA 9688, BA 9689), adapting his father's successful tutor to meet the needs and requirements of English-speaking children.
The combined knowledge and experience of both father and son make these four volumes the most thoroughly researched and thought-through viola tutor for beginners all over the world.

What could stand in the way? Indifferent play, poor defending and a perplexing power play?
The math isn't complicated.
The Vancouver Canucks were on pace for 97 points entering a Saturday night struggle with the Calgary Flames. They know that could be the performance bar to ensure the NHL club advances to the postseason for the first time in five years.
They also know if momentum is maintained on home ice — the Canucks were riding a nine-game win streak — then a six-game homestand should be the catalyst to keep the club from losing ground to a tightly-packed group of Pacific Division pursuers.
What could stand in the way?
Injuries? Brock Boeser got tied up with Andrew Mangiapane on the sideboards in the third period and left the game holding his arm and supporting his shoulder. Coach Travis Green wouldn't only say that the winger "is going to be out a little bit — we'll know more tomorrow (Sunday)."
How about indifferent play, poor defending and a perplexing power play?
There was enough of that Saturday. Add it up and it could turn the stretch drive into a daily deliberation of what has gone wrong.
Here's what we learned in an edgy playoff-style tussle as the Canucks were clobbered 6-2:
The defence simply can't rest
One of the improvements in Jacob Markstrom's game is his ability to track the puck.
It gets complicated when players at top of his crease take away his vision and when that comes from his own players, the problem is only magnified. And it simply happened too often Saturday and raised concerns about down-low coverage because the Canucks have surrendered 18 goals in what is now a four-game losing streak.
"They looked like a team that had been in this situation before and looked more like the mature team," said Green. "We made some mistakes and didn't sustain pressure in certain parts of the rink and a lot of that is puck battles. They had a lot of rush opportunities and jumped out of the corners and got up the ice.
"Little details matter. We looked like the younger team a little bit tonight and we have to learn from it."
After Tanner Pearson gave the Canucks the lead after just 35 seconds, Derek Ryan got an assist from Jake Virtanen. Instead of sprawling to stop the shot, ensuring that Markstrom would see the release, the Canucks winger stood straight up for the block and Markstrom didn't see the wrister find the far side.
That was followed by a coverage problem that left Markstrom miffed.
When Johnny Gaudreau fed a cross-ice pass to Matthew Tkachuk, the winger had ample time to decide whether to shoot or deke. Troy Stecher and Alex Edler where prone at the far post and Tkachuk went to the backhand. Markstrom got a piece of it before it trickled across the line.
After Adam Gaudette pulled the Canucks even with his first goal in 15 games, there was another vision problem for Markstrom. When Dillon Dube wheeled into the high slot to let a shot fly, Ryan was being tied up by Quinn Hughes just long enough that the puck found the stick side before Markstrom tracked it.
To his credit, Markstrom maintained his poise and tough third-period saves off Tkachuk and Gaudreau kept the Canucks within striking range.
"I have to come up with some stops — that's not good enough," said Markstrom, who debated the tracking narrative. "It's my job to see the puck, no? I have to look around. It's my job to stop the puck. This is crunch time. I have to step up and find another gear."
Then came the dagger. Milan Lucic was allowed to set up shop at the top of the crease on the power play and Jordie Benn couldn't get position to prevent the hulking winger from re-directing a point shot to make it 4-2. Sean Monahan was then all alone to easily deposit a 2-on-1 before Tobias Rieder got an empty-netter.
"We have to tighten up everywhere and obviously that (defensive coverage) is a big area because we have to limit scoring chances," said Bo Horvat. "And it's definitely not Marky's fault — he has been great for us all year. We have to get better at chipping pucks in and getting pucks out at our line. Tonight, we lost that battle."
"We got too much into a track meet against that team," added Pearson. "That's the kind of game they wanted and that doesn't give up success and have to get back to the way we play. We've got to buckle down."
Added Gaudette: "They wanted it more. We kind of got sucked in a bit and got away from our game a little bit and tried to play their style and it hurt us. We have to get back to basics and not panic."
Call another power-play meeting
J.T. Miller called a huddle of the first power-play unit before the morning skate.
There was talking and pointing and nodding. And there was reason to believe striking twice with the man advantage Thursday in Minnesota was reason to believe that a critical element of the club's game needed a tweak or two and not an overhaul.
However, before those PP efforts against the Wild, the Canucks had gone 4-for-36 in a 13-game span for an 11.1 per cent efficiency. So, there's an obvious need for improvement. Whether it's the drop pass wasting time or being too predictable and setting up the perfect pass for the perfect goal, it's hurting PP1 that went 0-for-3.
"It's just being more confident with the puck because we have so much skill in our unit," said Horvat. "It's a matter of making the right play when you have the opportunity and the confidence thing is the biggest thing for us right now."
The Canucks had a chance to erase a 2-1 deficit in the first period. They put Elias Pettersson on the left dot, Boeser on the right dot, Horvat in the bumper and Miller as the down-low presence. The Flames collapsed to negate Pettersson and Boeser. And when Hughes let a point shot fly on the second power play of the period, there was nobody at the net.
Why not get into a rotation in the O-zone? Why not get the speedy Hughes going down low to be open for a backdoor feed?
"They're struggling right now and it's no secret and it (power play) is talked about every day," stressed Green. "When you get down to these type of games, the difference is very small. Were we at our best tonight? I don't know, but we worked and competed. Frustration sets in but you've got have a short memory."
Miller packs a punch, too
Add willing pugilist to Miller's resume.
As if there wasn't enough to appreciate about the hard-working, tough-talking and driven winger — his 21 goals are one short of a career high — you can add another addition to his fight card after he scrapped with Tkachuk following the opening goal.
"He wanted to get the guys going and answered the bell and did well," said Horvat.
Miller doesn't drop the mitts very often, and has fought just seven times at the NHL level, but he also doesn't pick his spots. When he was in Tampa Bay, he took on Brooks Orpik in the playoffs. And when he was in New York, he challenged Shea Weber in the postseason.
According to hockey fights.com, Miller didn't win those bouts with Orpik and Weber, but he'll score a lot of points with this teammates because Saturday was just another example of the temperature rising in these games.
