The NHL is closing in on a deal with the KHL to play two exhibition games next season.

Every week I like to pick a random hockey story that I think is interesting enough to share with the rest of the hockey community.

I came across this story from Darren Dreger on TSN and after doing some research, I found some additional reports on forums and blogs (the most credible sources) that confirmed these details. So, having a hunch, this sounds like something that could really be in the works.

Apparently the NHL and KHL have been talking about hosting some exhibition games between the two leagues since the Olympics. The two NHL teams that will be playing, and they are only tentatively scheduled at the moment, are the Carolina Hurricanes and Phoenix Coyotes because, in reality, there is no denying the fact that quiet and reserved folks like Cam Ward and Petr Prucha have emerged. of their shells. to become legitimate spokespersons for the league and will represent the NHL extremely well at this outstanding international event.

Sheesh. What happened: New York, Detroit, Washington, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Montreal, etc. etc. etc. weren’t all available?

Anyway, according to Dreger’s report, it looks like the ‘Canes will play St. Petersburg (SKA) and the’ Yotes will face Riga. Who knows who will defect to the KHL and join these two teams before the actual games are played (or leave the teams for that matter), but some notable names in the teams at the moment include:

SKA:

Darius Kasparaitis

Alexei Yashin

Sergei zubov

Sergei brylin

Riga:

Tyler arnason

Marcel hossa

Martin Kariya (yes I’m stretching here)

Other teams will go to scrimmage in Europe, as has been fashionable in recent seasons; including the Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks and Columbus Blue Jackets. To be honest, in the humble opinion of this hockey fool, I think Boston and San Jose would have been better options for these big marquee games.

But regardless of my opinion, if this really fails, it will be pretty good. There has been enough tension between the leagues in recent seasons and honestly, there is no better way to settle the score than a game of hockey. I like the idea of ​​showcasing talents from different parts of the world and if the sport gains any media attention, it is definitely worth it in my books.

The other day, while studying the wonderful word of God in Revelation 1:14 (NASB95), he says, “His head and hair were white like wool, like snow, and his eyes like a flame of fire.” Today I am going to refer only to “like snow”. I immediately thought of Snow White and Eternity, hence the title. A little twist on the words, but it got me thinking. When studying the scriptures, you should always adhere to the rule of interpreting the scriptures at the time they were written to obtain the proper meanings of the ancient language. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it is taking place on an island called Patmos, part of Asia Minor in the Middle East. How often does it snow there? Not much, like maybe every two or five years, where there is a build-up. The exception occurs at higher elevations where it snows more frequently.

The writing only refers to a few occasions when it snowed. This crystallized substance of water and moisture-laden air cools, forming a delicate scale that only appears in the northern lands of the Bible at the highest elevations: the mountains of Lebanon, northern Syria, and Turkey. It is very rare in Jerusalem and the Transjordan area. In the NASB version, the Bible only has two references where there was snow on the ground. Psalm 68:14, “When the Almighty scattered the kings there, it was snowing in Zalmon.” In Job 24:19, “Drought and heat consume the waters of snow, and Sheol also those who have sinned.” We now know that, according to the Scriptures, it didn’t snow much.

The other verses refer to snow. In Proverbs 25:13, “Like the cold of snow in harvest time, he is a faithful messenger to those who send him, because he refreshes the souls of his masters.” Psalm 51: 7, “Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” Psalm 147: 16, “He gives snow like wool; He scatters frost like ash.” Psalm 148: 8, “Fire and hail, snow and clouds; a stormy wind that keeps his word.” Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they will be as wool.” That has a lot to do with a snowflake.

Snow represented the color white as the standard for sickness in Scripture. Exodus 4: 6, “The LORD said to him further,” Now put your hand into your bosom. “Then he put his hand into her bosom, and when he pulled it out, behold, his hand was leprous like snow. Numbers 12:10,” But when the cloud had withdrawn from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as the snow. When Aaron turned to Miriam, behold, she was leprous. “2 Kings 5:27,” Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will stick to you and your offspring forever. “So a white leper came out of his presence Snow “.

Snow was also recognized as a seasonal event in all of these scriptures. It meant the hand of God. Job 37: 6, “For he says to snow, ‘Fall on the ground,’ And to downpour and rain, ‘Be strong.’ Job 38:22, “Have you entered the storehouses of snow, Or have you seen the deposits of hail? The snow was representative of purity, like white snow. Lamentations 4: 7,” His consecrated were purer than the snow, they were whiter than milk; they were more ruddy in body than corals, their polish was like lapis lazuli. “

From a scientific point of view, what is snow? It is a form of precipitation of crystallized water and ice, creating snowflakes that fall from the clouds. The flakes are of soft, granular material that form many sizes and shapes, but when subjected to pressure they change state and are fleeting. Snow crystals are formed from supercooled water droplets from freezing clouds, forming a unique ice network in the atmosphere that combines with other networks to create snowflakes. The ice in the flake is transparent, but the beam of light that passes through the crystalline lattices makes the light appear white depending on the angle. The location of the louvers can create amazing reflections, like the shine of a layer of fresh snow. There is much more to this and it is fascinating, but for our purposes we just need to know that this process creates unique individual structures of unlimited combinations.

I think you’re watching my drift. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Seeing a drift of snow on the Midwestern plains while traveling in a warm and cozy car on a safe and comfortable highway is an incredible sight, especially when the sun is catching those flakes, causing the effect of thousands of bright stars as we we headed to our destination. . Incredible, unique and fleeting.

That is what I felt and visualized as I read Revelation 1:14, “His head and His hair were white like wool, like snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire.” Like snow, it is amazing, unique but not fleeting because snow represents the purity of our Lord Jesus Christ in His glorified state: the perfect God-man. In two words, “like snow”, the vision of our Lord to the apostle John shows the divine will of the plan and purpose of God the Father. It’s a rare Greek word, the noun [G5510 chiôn] which means “snow” means conversion, from one state to another. The historical Jesus who became human through the virgin birth, the Lamb of God, while on earth representing perfection, purity, the absence of sin and willingly going to the cross, bore the sins of all humanity, He dismissed His spirit, rose again, and then sat on the right hand of the Father, being the first-born, the God-man.

Christ did not resurrect himself. Christ received the resurrection of God the Father through God the Holy Spirit, who is available to us. John 10: 17-18, “That is why the Father loves me, because I give my life to take it again.” No one has taken it from me, but I give it on my own initiative. I have the authority to quit and I have the authority to take it back. This command I received from my Father. “Acts 2:24” But God raised him up, ending the agony of death, since it was impossible for him to be held in his power. “Romans 6: 4,” Therefore we were buried with him in death through baptism, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life. Ephesians 1:20, which He did in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. Colossians 2:12, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the work. of God, who raised him from the dead. “1 Thessalonians 1:10,” and wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, which is Jesus, who will deliver us from the wrath to come. “1 Peter 1:21,” who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that his faith and hope may be in God. “Romans 1: 4,” who cried out to the Son of God with power for the resurrection from the dead. according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord. “Romans 8:11,” But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His indwelling Spirit in you. “1 Peter 3:18,” For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that he could bring us to God, having been dead in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. “

Just as raindrops form from clouds at a precise temperature in a certain way, the formation of a unique crystallized snowflake between the mounds of snow gives the ability to shine the light of God’s grace. This resplendent divine love, grace, and hope is available to all who are willing to go through the conversion process simply by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior through faith alone in Christ. Ephesians 2: 8-9, “For it is by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not from yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one can boast.” The difference between the believer in Jesus Christ and a snowflake is eternity. The believer becomes eternal in God’s plan and purpose as the snowflake melts. The decision is his, as John 3: 15-16 says, “so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him. For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him , do not lose yourself, but have eternal life “. White as snow is the eternal nature of God through the finished work of Christ on the cross.

A Great Dane is a huge dog that is a great family dog ​​and can fend off children. A Havanese rescue dog, if you look at the information available, is not a huge dog and would probably have to run away from children. The Havanese does not grow very large, as he is usually only 29 centimeters long when fully grown and weighs 6 kilograms. He’s not a huge obstacle for kids and he’s really not the kind of dog to get if a big dog is what you want.

But despite all that they lack in size, the Havanese makes up for in intelligence. They are one of the most intelligent dog breeds, but they are also one of the most hyperactive. It takes a very patient person to train a Havanese, but when you finish you have a Havanese who listens to your commands and offers you a lot of love.

For all that a Havanese rescue dog seems to lack in size, they make up for it with their ability to warn you if there are intruders entering the home or if there is an emergency. They are alert dogs and can make a lot of noise when they feel something is wrong or a warning needs to be issued. They are also playful little dogs who love to show off their wit and intelligence. Try to match wit with a Havanese.

Havanese rescue dogs are also known as apartment dogs because they don’t really require a lot of exercise and their compact size means they don’t take up a lot of space overall. They are very loyal and wonderful dogs to have around children, as they are very friendly and love to play. Their small space requirements make them a popular pet for city dwellers.

Havanese rescue dogs require a lot of attention and patience, especially when you’re trying to train them to follow your rules. But that’s the wonderful thing about Havanese dogs, they respond very well to the right kind of training and can learn to follow many kinds of rules that other dog breeds cannot. But they are still energetic little ones who can drive you crazy if you let them know that patience, as mentioned before, is a virtue.

Your Havanese rescue dog will need daily grooming not only to keep his coat healthy, but also to keep him healthy. A tangled coat on a Havanese can lead to health problems, so be sure to keep your coat clean and tangle-free. With a Havanese rescue dog you absolutely get what you put in, so if you take the time to train them properly, show them the love they require and the care they crave, and keep them clean and healthy, they will pay you back for years to come. .

Originally, the term “carriage house” needed little explanation: it was a shed to house horse-drawn carriages. Today, however, the term has taken on a different meaning. Since the once ubiquitous carriage has little use in modern society, many of the carriage houses that were built before automobiles were common now have different uses. Many have been upgraded to serve as a guest house, garage, storage space, or even as a bar, restaurant, or shop. Today, two-story carport plans generally consist of a garage-like space on the lower level and rooms on the upper level that may include possible space for hobbies or additional storage.

Modern carriage house plans offer functional second floor home layouts to suit various needs. These designs will always include a modest kitchen, a full bathroom, and a bedroom / sleeping space. Second floor layouts can also include special spaces and amenities such as:

An office

A recreation room

Storage space

A laundry room

Additional living space

Carriage house plans are an excellent solution for those who want to build a remarkably versatile space at a relatively low price. In fact, some even transition from the second level to an apartment and rent the space to students or other tenants, generating additional income for the owner. Others make use of modern garage plans as their only living space. On the right lot, it is possible to build affordable mobile home plans to serve as the primary living space for the owner. Those with simplistic lifestyles can save a lot in the long run.

Some mobile home designs are arranged on one level with the garage located on one side and the finished homes on the other. Those with elderly relatives or friends may wish to consider this style of transportation home planning to avoid the elderly having to climb stairs. If necessary, a two-story mobile home can be designed for easy access to the second level, so that an elderly person can enjoy a comfortable life near a relative or friends who take care of them.

Carriage house plans allow homeowners to enjoy a unique combination of classic architecture and modern functionality. With a little money and imagination, the carport can be used in many ways, for business or pleasure. Whether you want to build a new home or make an addition to an existing home, these highly versatile structures are worth considering.

“At 6:49 am CST, Hong Kong Gold reports indicate that gold is weaker against the US dollar.” You quickly phone your broker and place an order to sell gold “short” (that is, sell gold you don’t currently have assuming you can buy it at a lower price before you have to “deliver”). In SPECULATOR, you have the opportunity to interpret news reports and estimate their effect on market conditions. Unlike many simulations that reflect price changes over weekly or monthly periods, SPECULATOR pretty much puts you in the pot. Simulates trading in “real time” with a scale of 1 minute of game time equal to 6 minutes of “real time”. The charts even allow you the privilege of watching your broker answer the phone and seeing the floor broker moving to the appropriate position to execute your order on the exchange floor.

The realism used in this simulation is remarkable. It can be bought at the current market value; buy below market value using an MIT. (Market if touched: it becomes an active market order when a certain price is reached). sell at a preset MIT. order; sell at a certain price OB (or better, will sell at a certain price or a higher price); sell shorts; use a spread order (simultaneous buying and selling of related contracts that are related to each other); using GTC (Good till Canceled – the order remains with the specialist on the exchange floor until a certain price or contingency is reached), OCO (One cancels Other – a compensation mechanism in which if a part of the order is completed, the other party is canceled) orders; and have the flexibility to execute orders at the immediate beginning of the trading session (when opening) or at the end of the session (when closing).

The effect of all of these options (although not all are immediately available to the first-level or “newbie” player and should be earned as a performance bonus as the player improves to “Profiteer” and “Floor Trader”) is give the player a more intimate understanding of the mechanics of futures markets. It also seems to allow the player to feel more “in charge” of the situation because he is able to communicate the EXACT conditions for the investment.

It is also a multiplayer simulation and one of the few “realistic” simulations based on real market conditions that allow it. TYCOON reflects actual market conditions and an excellent degree of realism, but only 1 investor can compete in the same market environment. In SPECULATOR, up to 6 players can compete at the same time. However, this feature also presents a problem. It is very difficult for more than one player to use the keyboard at the same time. When the market is about to open, there is only 1 minute to enter “On Open” orders, whether there is 1 player or 6. Also, since the market keeps moving, even when 1 player is in trade mode, there is an inherent advantage in entering one’s orders first. The scaled “real time” is a vital ingredient for the feeling of being there within the simulation, but either there must be some other way to provide information from the players other than from the keyboard or there must be a function that allows the “freeze “from” real time “until all players can enter their orders.

Another important factor is the data disk. Because events, contingencies, and price fluctuations are geared toward a 45-day actual profile of market conditions on three different exchanges (Chicago Board of Trade, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and New York Commodity Exchange), there is a significant correlation between what you can consume orange juice. what she does the first time you play and what May’s orange juice does every other time you play. To circumvent this trend towards equality.

The software plans to market several different data discs to reflect different market histories. These will be a welcome addition to the game as it will keep the game fresh and playable. Despite the fact that SPECULATOR allows the investor to play much closer to the market than its closest competitor, TYCOON.

However, it is more difficult to be a fundamentalist at SPECULATOR, as you only have a 30-day history chart to work from where TYCOON offered yearly stories for each product in chart form. It’s easier to be a SPECULATOR technician; However, since one can place a buy-sell order immediately after the news that will affect the basic supply and demand for the basic product hits the ticker symbol. For example, you read that meteorologists predict a severe east coast winter (not an actual event). This indicates that there could be a freeze in Florida that would reduce the supply of orange juice. Reduced supply means higher demand, which means higher future prices. Therefore, you want to buy orange juice futures before anyone else. At TYCOON, there is a clear advantage to following the news, but the price fluctuation has already started when the player reads about it. In SPECULATOR, the player has to move in a hurry before losing the advantage that the news gives him.

SPECULATOR is the first investment program I have seen that overshadows the fine line of investment simulations from Blue Chip Software in tutorial value. The two documentation books that are included with the program (the Game Manual, which explains everything from starting the program to how to place an order, and the Market Reference Guide, which explains everything from the size of a contract even factors that influence prices) are understandable and a valuable resource for perusing the financial pages and / or publications distributed by brokerages. Between the two brochures, almost every imaginable order is defined from both a real trading and gaming perspective.

SPECULATOR compares favorably with any other investment simulation on the market to date. It’s competitively priced for the entry-level game and should be an especially worthwhile investment with the addition of new data discs. I look forward to the projected release of a stock market simulation in the near future.

Every week of the college football season, I make at least one college football parlay bet. There is something magical about watching many games at the same time and having action in all of them. If you are new to NCAA college football betting, here is some information to help you.

Let’s start by talking about the difference between bookmakers when a game falls in number. Some bookmakers push ties, which means that your parlay card is reduced to the next number. So imagine you have a 5-team college football parlay and the Ohio State Buckeyes (-3) win by 3. Since it’s a tie, the card would be reduced to the next level. If you are playing a “tie win” card, you would win the bet.

College football parlay cards can have both sides and totals. A side is when you choose sides, like the Michigan Wolverines. And the total is when you bet less or more than the total number of points scored for both teams.

Unsurprisingly, you can increase your pay by adding more equipment. The risk also increases. While most bookmakers tend to have the same payouts, some offer special payout amounts.

Charging for college parlays is fun. Here are some common payment amounts:

Parlay of 3 country teams 6-1

Parlay of 4 country teams 11-1

Parlay of 5 country teams 20-1

Let’s go.

There are also teasers that are somewhat popular with sports bettors. They are easier to win, but pay much less. Many like betting teasers because the lines are more favorable for sports bettors. As an example, you could see the Washington Huskies as a 14-point dog on the royal line and a 21-point dog in a teaser. As you can see, these bets are much easier to win.

Do you know what is the best college football parlay bet you can make? There is a “best” bet and many sports bettors don’t realize it. Whether you’re betting on teasers, semicircles, or straight parlays, you need to know what you’re doing to get ahead.

As a dog lover and vacation rental home owner, I have often come across the subject of traveling with a beloved pet. While only a few years ago, it was relatively rare to find hotel accommodations that would accept, or at least put up with, my kind and friendly Boxer, Ouzo. Every now and then while traveling on Interstate 5 in California, we would stop at the beautiful Harris Ranch. One, because it’s a great stop with beautiful accommodations and great food, also midway for us on our trip. But they also treat Fido the same way WE treat Fido, with love and care! They even provide a little sign to put on the door so people know there is a dog in the room.

Personally, I know that one of the reasons I loved traveling with Ouzo (now deceased) is because he was so much fun to be with. It’s not a hassle, and it always behaves very well in any new place. So when I became the owner of a great beach vacation rental home, it was a no-brainer for me to accept dogs. I know that for the most part, if people want to be with their pets, it is because pets are nice and well behaved.

What should you expect as a pet owner who is traveling through California or looking to rent a fun vacation property? First, most hotels, motels, and vacation rentals in California will require a small pet deposit, which will be refundable upon departure as long as no damage has been caused. (We know your precious dog would NEVER harm anything, it’s like insurance is everything!) In over ten years of renting to dog lovers, I have never had to withhold the $ 50.00 pet deposit I charge.

Allowing dogs can mean different things to different people. Make sure you know exactly what to expect before booking your hotel room or vacation home. Ask questions about things like floor coverings, as this can be important for your dog’s comfort. Plan to bring some of your pet’s familiar things with you to make him feel at home, like toys or bedding, for example. Many pet friendly places provide dishes and water bowls for your pet, but consider bringing something familiar here too, to add comfort and lessen the strangeness of the new surroundings.

Find a good place to walk the dog in advance, the owner or booking agent should be able to provide that information. Our vacation home offers accommodation on the beach. If your visit is to a beach vacation home, make sure you know in advance that the beach is also dog friendly. Many California beaches do not allow dogs. Our beach, Dillon Beach in Northern California, allows dogs to run freely along the water’s edge, which they love! There’s nothing like a day chasing birds on the shore to turn you into a tired, happy dog ​​at the end of the day! Having fun together and relaxing at night is what I want for my guests and their “kids”, even the 4-legged ones!

I would like to tell you a little secret of my success in losing weight so fast. First, you must make a decision. The decision is that you are going to do this. You are going to follow the training plan and you are going to change the food that you put in your mouth. You’re going to hit play on your DVD player no matter what time of day and what you have left to do during the day. To get this burning desire, you need to find out why you want to do this.

This can be different for many people. For me it was my self-esteem, my son and my job. For you it might be that beach vacation you’re taking, a wedding, an army training or a marathon, or because your health is deteriorating. Next, you must decide what your fitness goal will be. Are you going to lose 5 pounds, 15 pounds, or 50 pounds? or more? How many inches would you like to lose from your waist? What size do you want to fit? How fast do you want your mile run to be?

Then WRITE IT OUT! Write your goals on a piece of paper and place it next to your bed. Read it before you go to sleep and when you get up in the morning. This will remind you of your goals and has been shown to increase motivation. Then choose your exercise program based on your physical ability. Beachbody has several different exercise programs to choose from. Do you want fun music and cardio? Try Turbofire. Do you want a total body transformation? P90X test. Do you have arthritis or a knee problem? Try Power 90. Whatever the choice, remember to read the manuals and follow the nutrition plans. Also ask your coach, they are very knowledgeable about a plan that will work for you.

It has also been shown that if you join a training group for support and motivation, you are much more likely to finish the program and reach your goals than someone who follows it. This is why challenge groups are so effective and why my team, Team Hustle, was created. It is to help others eat healthy and achieve their weight loss goals.

So start tonight with your goals. Write them down and add them as you go about your day. Just make sure they are big enough to motivate you to act!
