Carolina has gone from media darling and the “bunch of jerks” to arguably the favorite to hoist the Stanley Cup relatively quickly.
Nashville has gone from a Cup contender to on the fringe of being a playoff team at all with an aging or already departed core.
They are two teams heading into different eras entirely. The finale for Pekka Rinne in the regular season felt like an era ending already. Carolina, meanwhile, has seen the careers of their young players just begin to take off.
The Hurricanes are the favorites here. Nashville isn’t a bad team, and they’ve persevered all season to get to this point as it is. They won’t go down so easily.

Hurricanes – Predators: Stories to Watch
How dominant will the Hurricanes power play be?
Carolina has one of the best man-up units in the league. Nashville has one of the worst penalty kills, ranked at 29th in the league.
In the regular season, Carolina went 9 for 26 (34.6%) on the power play against the Predators.
Keep in mind, when the Hurricanes were swept by the Bruins in the 2019 Eastern Conference Final, their power play was more than disappointing. So, they have something to prove in the playoffs.
They were first in the league most of the season and have been slipping lately, finishing the regular season ranked second. Perhaps the Preds weak penalty kill is just what they need, though.
The Cinderella Preds
For a solid portion of the season it seemed like Nashville was going to in fact be sellers at the trade deadline. They really came out of nowhere, aided by a meek finish to the season for Dallas.
Goalie Juuse Saros is a big part of that, but the Predators have been playing what feels like playoff hockey for the entire season essentially. They were considered out of it and have responded by making the postseason.
Carolina is a clear, far and away favorite. But Nashville knows what it feels like to be counted out, and they know what it feels like to succeed anyways.
It’s Teuvo Teravainen‘s time
Since coming back from injury, Teravainen has played with a star. In the eight games he has been with Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov on the top line, they have outscored opponents at an 8-to-4 clip on 5-on-5.
Aho had 24 points in his last 19 games as well, but his dominance is almost expected at this point. If he’s not considered one of the top 15 forwards in the league at this point, well, that’s just wrong.
Teravainen might sneak up a bit more. He’s been playing solid hockey, perhaps he is a difference maker these playoffs.
The Brett Pesce factor
Jaccob Slavin is day-to-day but probably will be ready to go at least at some point in the series. If his injury lags, though, or even he’s not 100 percent upon his return, the Hurricanes are going to have some big asks of Pesce.
The 26-year-old is a shutdown defender on a team with tremendous defensive depth. He missed practice earlier last week, too, so perhaps someone else will have to step in for him even.
Their defensive depth will be tested one way or another, but Pesce could make a name for himself the way Slavin did the past two years if he’s ready to go these playoffs.
One big question for Nashville: Will Nashville finally perform against the Canes?
In six tries this season, the Predators were unable to top the Hurricanes. They went 0-5-1, their worst record against any team, before that seventh try, when they beat a Carolina team that no longer had anything to play for. They went a combined 6-16-1 against Carolina and the other two Central playoff teams, Florida and Tampa Bay.
Nashville’s strength is in net with Saros, but it’s not like the Predators are likely to puncture the Petr Mrazek and Alex Nedeljkovic duo with the Hurricanes. If they were facing a weaker defensive and goaltending team, they could have an advantage to exploit.
One big question for Carolina: When does the Hurricanes offense break out?
Carolina is a great offensive team but they’re so close to being the scariest in the league.
Some of it could be bad puck luck too; it happens. In the regular season, they had a 2.7 xG/60 at 5 on 5, but only 2.3 Goals/60 at 5 on 5. Something is going to give at some point, right?
They were 11th in the league in goals per game at 3.11. Given the Predators lack of penalty killing ability, the power play may carry them anyways. But imagine a Hurricanes team living up to its expected goals on 5 on 5. It’s terrifying.
Hurricanes vs Predators series prediction: Hurricanes in 5
It’s not a gimmie but, Carolina should win this. Nashville hasn’t matched up well all season, and the Hurricanes are storming (get it) into a new era as one of the best teams in the league.
This postseason really feels like the accumulation of excellent team building that spans the past few seasons. It feels like it’s their time, and the numbers agree.

Tapping into the essence of our creativity and how we can get into our flow in our life and business isn’t just something that we work on FROM THE OUTSIDE, this is connected to something much larger.
There’s an ancient language of the stars and our bodies and how they interact with each other-- the cosmos and all of life. What is this language? This is entangled with sacred geometry… numbers. The as above, so below concept is true on all levels, but something we don’t think about very often is that WE… humans, are fractals of the universe!
This guest blew my mind as she has discovered some fundamental truths around this ancient language of the body and how we relate to the cosmos, and she is tapping into the wisdom I know ancient ones on this planet had (that has since been hidden from us and only now are we beginning to discover the magick and truth!).
In this episode, we step into the medical visionary brain of Melanie Weller, creator of Embody Your Star. Melanie has created a paradigm-shifting process to access genius, health, and flow in your body and business using the vagus nerve as a portal to health, growth, and success.
She brings over 25 years of experience to her leading edge systems which she leverages these fundamental vagus nerve principles for visionary development, to enhance performance, and really fine tuning the brilliance in that brain of yours (see more on Melanie below).
Here’s a sampling of what we cover in this mind-blowing episode:
- That the Vagus Nerve in our body isn’t “just a nerve” that sits at the base of the skull, it’s actually a MAJOR key to alignment for better health, vitality, and more!
- Why there’s a deep relationship between our bodies and how we show up in the world
- How the cosmos are literally coded INTO our bodies; we are fractals of the cosmos-- as above, so below
- Electromagnetic frequencies are all around us and are key to understanding dis-ease in our bodies (think the Chinese Medicine concept of Qi [said like “chee”], chakras, and more)
- That the astrological signs (e.g.: the language of the cosmos) are actually the scientific way to communicate with our anatomical bodies
And there’s much more to discover!
The ultimate message is that when you align your BELOW (you/your body) with the ABOVE (Earth and greater cosmos), this is how you step into your brilliance in a bigger way than you ever thought possible!
Please take a look at this image … it will make A LOT more sense when you listen or go watch the episode!

Spinal Tap’s drummers. Arsenal’s strikers. Create your own joke, because the Gunners are providing all the ingredients, and with the Gunners losing their third striker in as many games this Saturday against Newcastle.
First there was Olivier Giroud, who had started every league game before missing this week’s match against Cardiff City with an ankle injury. Nicklas Bendtner was used as a substitute against the Bluebirds but went down with an ankle injury of his own. Theo Walcott, who got the call this weekend against Tottenham, suffered a left knee injury going in for a tackle on Danny Rose, leaving Lukas Podolski as the least of the number nine Mohicans.
Walcott’s injury, which came during Arsenal’s 2-0 win over North London rivals Tottenham, could turn out to be the most serious, with the first choice right winger carried off after suffering his injury in Saturday’s 81st minute. Though he is scheduled for full tests on Monday, preliminary reports have him sidelined for four weeks, potentially costing him league matches against Aston Villa, Fulham, Southampton and Crystal Palace.
If the timeline holds up, Walcott would return for Arsenal’s brutal February run, a stretch where the Gunners face Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich within 12 days (Feb. 8 – Feb. 19). If Monday’s tests identify damage beyond strained ligaments (the original diagnosis), Walcott could miss additional time.
Though he has already missed significant time with an abdominal injury, the 24-year-old England international has scored five league goals this season, a total eclipsed by only Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud in Arsenal’s squad. Combined with performances in Europe and Cup competitions, Walcott has six goals in 18 games, a slight downturn from the rate that produced a career high 21 goals in 43 games last season.
In addition to Walcott, Arsenal is also waiting results on injuries to Mikel Arteta and Thomas Vermaelen, with the club fearing their Belgian defender may have suffered a major injury against Spurs. Arteta is awaiting word on the calf injury that forced his removal in Saturday’s 75th minute.

A few weeks ago, I made lunch for one of my favorite non-profit organizations, Rising Star Outreach. Rising Star helps those afflicted with leprosy in India through education, micro grants and medical care.
We served three salads: Basil Couscous Salad, Chicken, Apple and Smoked Gouda Salad and this incredibly simple and flavor packed Caprese Pasta and Artichoke Salad. A fruit platter, assorted rolls and cookies completed the menu.
If you are looking for a simple and fresh pasta salad, it doesn’t get much easier than this, cook the fresh pasta in less than two minutes, chop a few ingredients and toss with salad dressing. It’s great for make ahead, or make at the last minute. With fresh basil and tomatoes being available year round, this is a salad you can make any time of the year!
Caprese Pasta and Artichoke Salad
- 16-20 oz package fresh Tortellini or Ravioli cheese filled pasta
- 1- .7 oz Good Seasons Salad Dressing dry mix envelope
- 6-8 oz jar marinated artichoke hearts drained and cut up
- 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes
- 3/4 to 1 cup good quality Italian salad dressing I used Bernstein’s Cheese Fantastico
- 8-12 oz fresh mozzarella cheese cubed
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves whole or chopped
- Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Cook Pasta according to package directions. Be careful to not overcook. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Place pasta in a large bowl and sprinkle with dry seasoning. Place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours, overnight if possible. Before serving, add the remaining ingredients.
Serve or refrigerate for up to 6 hours.
Serves about 10 as a side dish.
-You may make this salad the day before serving. Cut up the mozzarella. Cut the tomatoes in half and refrigerate each in separate Ziploc bags (if you mix the cheeses and the tomatoes and refrigerate, the cheese will become wet from the tomatoes). Toss the cooked pasta with dry dressing, refrigerate in separate bag. When ready to serve, Toss all ingredients together, add artichokes, basil leaves, salt and pepper.
-If you are making this last minute, toss the pasta with the dry dressing mix and then add remaining ingredients. It is better if the pasta can sit with the dry dressing sprinkled on top, but not necessary.
-If you are making this for a large crowd, it is not necessary to double the dry and bottled dressings. One package of the dry dressing should be enough for a double recipe. A double recipe will also consume about 1 1/4 cups of bottled dressing. Add more bottled dressing if necessary before serving.
-If you are preparing this for a large group, and want to shop at a big box store, purchase: double pack of the cheese filled tortellini and two grape tomato packages, one package of the fresh mozzarella (comes in double pack), And 1 large marinated artichoke hearts (use about 1/2 jar) . This along with tripling the dressings and basil should feed approx. 50 people as a side dish.

Sri Lanka’s national cross country team were in for a rude shock in Nagaland on Saturday when the Indian organizers of the South Asian Cross Country Championship presented the participants a hard-surface loop to compete the grueling endurance event which is usually run on courses over natural terrain of grass, dirt and mud.
As any cross country team would expect, the country’s team of 12 athletes, who endured a two-day long journey to reach Nagaland, were looking forward to compete on a usual cross country course. But they were in for a shock when the team visited the actual course where they were made to ponder whether they had accidentally come to compete in a road race.’
The youtube streaming of the event showed the runners commencing the different categories of the race from a synthetic track and then continuing the race on what looked like a concrete road.
Veterans of the event who witnessed the race on youtube said that it was embarrassing to see a cross country race being conducted on a road.
Nevertheless Sri Lanka’s athletes joined the rest of their South Asian counterparts to compete for the four titles, namely the Under 20 boys’, Under 20 girls’, Open men’s and open women’s championships. The Sri Lanka teams went on to win the runner up positions in the team championships of all four categories.
When contacted a Sri Lanka team source currently in India said “the technical meeting was held before the teams visited the course. So we did not have any other option but to participate. We were shocked to see that the organizers had made arrangements to conduct the race on a road with the start and finish arranged on a synthetic track.”
The course of the race was not the only technical mistake the organisers had made. “At the technical meeting it was said that both the South Asian Cross Country Championship and the Indian National Cross Country event would be held simultaneously and the two categories would be identified by the colour of the bib. But at the actual event all Indian participants were wearing the same colour. We protested against it at the end of the race,” said a team source.
A veteran official said that Sri Lanka team should have withdrawn from the competition after seeing the course of the race. “It is not a cross country race if the race is not started from an open area and is not conducted on a natural terrain. They invited a team for a cross country race.”
Joes and HFC win Under-20 basketball titles
Due to the pandemic, there wasn’t much sporting activities in schools for two years and basketball players showed lot of enthusiasm as their sport was in full swing since April holidays. Sri Lanka Schools Basketball Association despite many challenges successfully conducted the All Island Under-20 basketball tournament at Sugathadasa Stadium this week. Girls and boys in ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ Divisions competed over a month and there were some thrilling encounters.St. Joseph’s College, Darley Road and Holy Family Convent, Bambalapitiya cruised to victory in the ‘A’ Division final. While St. Joseph’s beat Royal College in the boys’ final, HFC overcame Mahamaya College, Kandy. Both teams cruised to victory and were hardly troubled throughout the campaign. Interestingly, both teams are coached by the same individuals with Roshan Randima as Head Coach and Shane Daniel as his deputy. Their teams over the last decade or so have come up with consistent performances and have always remained among the top three.
St. Joseph’s took an early 24-09 lead in the first quarter and although Royal contained them in the second quarter conceding just seven points, they themselves could not score big. Both teams scored 16 points each in the third quarter and Royal matched St. Joseph’s skills in the final quarter but the damage done in the first quarter proved to be costly as Joes won by 16 points with the final score being 68-52.Mahamaya scored 14 points compared to HFC’s 16 in the first quarter in the girls’ final but from thereon HFC were unstoppable winning by a comfortable 31 points. The final score was 70-39.
In the boys’ category, St. Joseph’s captain Shehan Fernando was adjudged the Most Valuable Player while Keith Costa also from St. Joseph’s was declared the Best Defensive Player. Royal’s Yuganan Baskaran was named Best Offensive Plyaer. In the girls’ segment, Onela Dunuwille and Minoli Direkze of HFC emerged as Most Valuable Player and Best Defensive Player respectively. Chithera Samarakoon of Mahamaya was the Best Offensive Player. The tournament was sponsored by Gaja Group. The Group’s CEO Gayath Jayasinghe, a former Sri Lanka basketball player was the Chief Guest.
Sri Lanka Athletics to seek private sector support to send team for World Junior Championships
Junior Nationals Athletics Championships rescheduled to June 7-10
by Reemus Fernando
Sri Lanka Athletics will seek support from the private sector to meet the massive costs involved in sending all athletes reaching qualifying standards for the World Junior Championships which will be held from August 1-6 in Cali, Colombia.The track and field governing body, which met this week to reschedule the Junior National Championship which was postponed due to the curfew imposed on May 9, also discussed ways of finding funds to send all athletes who reach qualifying standards for the World Junior Championships.
Sri Lanka Athletics has been sending all athletes reaching qualifying standards for the World Junior events in recent years. But the massive cost of airfare in the midst of the prevaling economic crisis has made it difficult for the sport’s governing body to bear the full cost involved in sending a strong team.So far nine athletes have reached qualifying standards for the biennial event and there is opportunity for other athletes to reach entry standards for the event when the postponed Junior National Athletics Championship is held from June 7 to 10 at the Sugathadasa Stadium.
“There is a massive cost involved in sending athletes for the Cali event. With the increased airfare it will cost around 1.5 million rupees per athlete. If we opt to send only the top two athletes and those who can find funds by their own it will not be fair by the others who reach qualifying standards. Because of that we will seek private sector support to send the full team,” a senior official of Sri Lanka Athletics told The Island on Friday.
Earlier there were plans to send a pruned down team but a couple of athletes have obtained private sponsorships for their travel compelling athletics officials to find sponsorships for others as well.Of the nine athletes who have reached qualifying standards so far, four are from three schools in Colombo. At least one athlete from outstations and an athlete from a school in Colombo have received the support of sponsors to meet their expenses during the meet.
“We will request leading private sector firms to support junior athletes. We will also seek the support of friendly sports federations like Sri Lanka Cricket to support us at this difficult moment,” said the official.
Tharushi Karunaratne (800m, 400m), Jayeshi Uththara (400m) and Amesha Hettiarachchi (400m hurdles) in the girls’ category and Sithum Jayasundara (400m), Dhanuka Dharshana (400m hurdles), Kaveesha Bandara (110m hurdles), Pasindu Malshan (triple jump), Hirusha Hashen (long jump) and Rumesh Tharanga (javelin throw) in the boys’ category are the athletes who have reached qualifying standards for the Cali event. Incidentally, Tharushi Karunaratne and Sithum Jayasundara will be taking part in their second consecutive World Junior Championships after having represented the country at the last edition in Nairobi. Sri Lanka did well to reach the final in the mix relay in Nairobi where they were ranked fifth with a time of 3:26.39 secs.
Junior National Championships from June 7 to 10
The Junior National Athletics Championship which was postponed after the morning session on May 9 will commence from where it stopped on June 7. According to athletics officials the events which could not be completed on May 9 will be held on June 7 and there will not be any changes to the schedule of the next three days.
Shoriful ruled out of SL Tests with wrist injury
Bangladesh’s injury woes continue as pace bowler Shoriful Islam has now been ruled out of the remainder of the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka due to a wrist injury. Shoriful is the latest addition to the hosts’ injury list as they earlier lost Taskin Ahmed (shoulder) and Mehedy Hasan (finger).
“Shoriful Islam had a contusion of the right hand while batting. After the fourth day’s play an X-ray was carried out which has revealed a fracture on the base of the 5th metacarpal bone,” physio Bayjedul Islam said in a statement on Thursday.
“Such injuries tend to take around three weeks to heal followed by a couple of week’s rehab. He will not be available to play for four to five weeks.”
Shoriful was retired out on Day 4 after pacer Kasun Rajitha’s short delivery hit him on the gloves. Bangladesh were forced to end their innings at 465 following his injury.
Cricbuzz has learnt that Shoriful is unlikely to be available for the Test series against West Indies as well. Bangladesh will leave on June 6 to take part in the full fledged tour of West Indies, comprising two Tests, three ODIs and as many T20Is.
Meanwhile, the BCB has retained the same squad for the second Test against Sri Lanka that will begin on May 23. The board opted to not name a replacement for Shoriful since they have a big squad to pick from.
“We did not take any replacement for Shoriful as we have got a big squad in hand,” BCB chief selector Minhajul Abedin told Cricbuzz. ‘’We have to see fitness of Hasan Mahmud (who was in discussion as a possible replacement of Shoriful) and though we are not considering him in this series, if he is fit we might pick him for the Bangladesh ‘A’ team tour of West Indies.”

Patriots put on a show
Brady and Co. earn a resounding win
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- That's more like it.
If the first two exhibition games were the football equivalent of the Patriots clearing their throats, fans were beginning to wonder if something was lodged in their windpipes. But in the all-important third preseason game -- the one we're told means the most -- New England found its voice last night, and the timbre was both distinct and dominant.
Even though the Patriots were still without some key instruments on offense (receiver Randy Moss, hamstring) and defense (ends Richard Seymour, knee; and Ty Warren, elbow; and holdout cornerback Asante Samuel) the team hit all the high notes in a 24-7 win over the Carolina Panthers at
"We still left some plays out on the field that we would have liked to have made, but I thought that overall this was probably our best week of practice and was probably our best game that we've played so far this year," said Patriots coach Bill Belichick. "Hopefully, we can correlate that going forward."
Quarterback Tom Brady returned from the birth of his son to conduct the offense with masterful precision and running back Laurence Maroney, who was making his exhibition debut, provided the background beat with bruising runs.
Brady, who didn't come out until 6:07 remained in the third quarter, completed 17 of 22 passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. Maroney finished with 15 carries for 58 yards, but more importantly showed no aversion to contact after testing his surgically repaired shoulder for the first time.
"I didn't feel anything in my shoulder at all," said Maroney, who said he did have to shake off some rust. "It did boost my morale a little bit. I did think that I was going to feel it just a little bit. I knew it might hurt a little bit, but I really didn't feel nothing. It felt good, so it gave me a little bit more confidence."
At the outset it looked as if the Patriots were planning on getting an extended solo from Maroney. After going seven months without contact, the dreadlocked runner carried on the Patriots' first seven offensive plays, totaling 20 yards. Sammy Morris ended Maroney's monopolization of the ball on New England's second drive, carrying for 5 yards on fourth and 1 from the New England 24.
The conversion extended an 18-play march on which the New England offense imposed its will, taking the ball from its 5-yard line to the Carolina 5 to take a 3-0 lead on a 23-yard field goal by Stephen Gostkowski.
The New England offense hit repeat on the following drive after Vince Wilfork was credited with blocking a 49-yard field goal attempt by Carolina's John Kasay. The Patriots ran the ball on seven of the 10 plays on the drive, which ended with Brady finding tight end Marcellus Rivers for a 6-yard touchdown.
The Patriots, who finished with 148 yards on 36 carries, ran the ball on their first nine offensive snaps, setting the tempo.
"That's something that we really wanted to emphasize -- the running game," said wide receiver Kelley Washington. "We know offensively . . . it doesn't matter how many receivers we have and tight ends. If we can't run the football then we're not going to have a good season and be good offensively."
While the New England offense was vibing, the defense was keeping the Panthers off-key.
Rodney Harrison was his usual active self. One week after he crushed Titans quarterback Vince Young, Harrison hit the whammy bar on Carolina receiver Steve Smith, belting him after a 15-yard reception in the second quarter.
The Panthers had just 13 rushing yards in the first half. Carolina had 124 yards of total offense in the first half and 48 of those came on a touchdown pass from Jake Delhomme to Keary Colbert with 34 seconds left before the half. Patriots rookie Mike Richardson appeared to slip on the play, which cut the New England lead to 10-7 at the half.
It could have been more if a holding call hadn't short-circuited another drive, resulting in a missed 53-yard field goal attempt by Gostkowski, which set up Carolina's touchdown.
Gostkowski, who also missed a 46-yarder in the fourth quarter, is 3 for 6 this exhibition season, after going 9 for 9 last year in the preseason.
The Patriots expanded their advantage to 24-7 by the end of third quarter, thanks to Heath Evans. The veteran fullback, who has just one regular-season touchdown, scored two in the third quarter.
On Brady's final series, the opening series of the third quarter, he found Evans for an 8-yard touchdown to finish a 77-yard drive. Operating out of the two-minute offense, Brady was 5 for 7 on the drive, including a 37-yard strike to Donte' Stallworth.
"That was a nice, successful drive and Donte' made a nice play to get the ball down the field," said Belichick. "That was a good series."
After the Patriots blocked another Kasay field goal -- this time it was Jarvis Green, who looked as if he blocked the first one, too -- Evans provided the closing act with a 2-yard touchdown run.
Then it was time for the Patriots to take a bow after scoring their first win of the exhibition season. Remember, though, no matter how impressive, it was just a rehearsal for the real thing, against the Jets Sept. 9 at Giants Stadium.

Three minutes before the Steelers-Broncos playoff game kicked off Sunday in Denver, a smiling Tim Tebow told CBS viewers: “I’m gonna have a lot of fun.”
Such comments obviously were taped long before the Broncos’ first postseason game in six years.
Nearly four hours after the overtime game kicked off, Tebow was having fun — and showing moments of heavy emotion — as live cameras focused on the Broncos quarterback kneeling, seemingly giving a prayer of thanks.
The game — and the CBS telecast — produced one of those rare NFL events when even the coin toss before overtime produced nail-biting drama. The Broncos won the toss.
Did you feel it was Tebow Time?
This was the type of game that could have been broadcast by rookie announcers covering their first NFL game. The cameras told the story.
Fortunately for viewers, CBS stars Jim Nantz and Phil Simms did their jobs.
They are familiar with the Broncos, having worked the team’s game for four consecutive weeks. The duo’s fifth consecutive Broncos telecast is coming Saturday night at New England.
Nantz and Simms didn’t ignore the Steelers during Sunday’s telecast at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, pointing out their problems that included hobbled quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Nantz and Simms agreed that Roethlisberger, a two-time Super Bowl champion, played better in the fourth quarter as his adrenaline began to flow.
One production strong point was the informative replays, narrated by Simms, showing how the defenses were dealing with Tebow and Roethlisberger.
One nit to pick:
Several years ago, CBS dropped reporter sideline coverage during NFL games, feeling that the interviews didn’t strengthen the game coverage. Fox and ESPN continue to utilize sideline coverage, and sometimes wisely.
Tebow time on the sideline would have added to Sunday’s telecast.
Broncomania is back. A safe prediction: The Nielsen audience ratings will tell us that Sunday’s game was by far the most-watched Broncos game of the season on KCNC-Channel 4.
The previous best: The Broncos’ Dec. 18 game against the Patriots, which produced a 73 audience share in the Denver area. That beat the Jan. 1 game against the Chiefs (a 72 audience share).
Those figures mean that nearly two-thirds of television viewers in the Denver area were tuned in to the Denver games.
Will the Nielsen ratings crank out an 80 share for the Steelers-Broncos game?
Tebowmania should ensure huge national audience figures for CBS. I can’t envision fans in the Pittsburgh and New England areas changing channels at halftime.
B Pregame Broncos radio shows usually last about as long as the game. But KOA radio may have set a pregame record Sunday, airing a 5½-hour show of optimistic cheerleading. That’s almost enough time for two games. Talk about a big move. Anyone following Dave Krieger’s media career probably wasn’t surprised to hear that The Denver Post sports columnist is moving to KOA radio to team with Dave Logan on the station’s weekday afternoon talk show. Krieger has been a regular host for several months after occasionally filling in during past football seasons.
Krieger will bring a wide journalistic dimension to sports talk radio. Before moving to the sports beat at the Rocky Mountain News, Krieger covered city government. The unanswered question: Will Krieger be part of the Logan show’s title now that he’s an official regular? It could be called the “Dave and Dave Show.”
Schlereth returning to radio. Former Broncos guard Mark Schlereth, who left The Fan (104.3 FM) at the end of 2011, begins a national three-hour weeknight ESPN talk show with Mike Hill on Tuesday. The Ticket (102.3 FM) will air two hours (6-8 p.m.) of the show.
The Fan is not replacing Schlereth, instead going with the duo of Alfred Williams and Darren McKee.
Longtime Denver journalist Dusty Saunders writes about sports media each Monday in The Denver Post. Reach him at firstname.lastname@example.org.
ESPN’s Brent Musburger has been known to play his chips right
Near the end of last year’s Bowl Championship Series title game between Auburn and Oregon in Glendale, Ariz., Brent Musburger told the telecast’s 27.4 million viewers (a cable TV record) the game was “for all the Tostitos.”
CNBC noted that Musburger’s comment was equal to a $2 million advertisement for the game’s primary sponsor.
If the LSU-Alabama battle in New Orleans tonight is close down the stretch, perhaps ESPN’s Musburger, 72, will revert to his playground days and note that the game is “for all the marbles.”
Musburger, who seems to have gained a second wind at the start of his fifth decade of sports broadcasting, will work the BCS title game at the Superdome with analyst Kirk Herbstreit.
Herbstreit, a former Ohio State quarterback, has been Musburger’s play-by-play partner the last three college seasons on ABC-ESPN. Herbstreit is the best in the business.
ESPN’s primary pregame personality is Chris Fowler, a University of Colorado graduate who interned at Denver’s KCNC-Channel 4 and KMGH-Channel 7 in the mid-1980s.
Musburger and Fowler have predicted the obvious: More than 15 points will be scored tonight. LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime on Nov. 5.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga., Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A frustrating season ended Friday for Tiger Woods, who missed the cut at the PGA Championship and said he would not try to qualify for the tour's playoffs.
Woods, playing in only his eighth tournament of 2011, shot a 10-over 150 for 36 holes at the Atlanta Athletic Club and missed the cut by six shots.
"I think it's a step back in the sense that I didn't make the cut and I'm not contending in the tournament," Woods said at the conclusion of his second round. "But it's a giant leap forward in the fact that I played two straight weeks healthy."
The former top-ranked player in the world has not won on the PGA Tour since Sept. 13, 2009, when he captured one of the four playoff events en route to the FedEx Cup title.
Ten weeks later Woods was involved in an auto accident outside his home in Florida, an incident that touched off a spiraling series of personal revelations that ended his marriage and put his career on hold.
He did not play during the first three months of 2010, but returned at the Masters and briefly appeared ready to recapture the form that has brought him 14 major championships.
Woods, however, did not win in any of his 13 appearances in 2010 and when he played at the Masters again this year he damaged the knee and Achilles tendon in his left leg.
Since then he has completed only one tournament, last week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in which he finished tied for 37th in a field of 76.
Woods, 35, is currently 129th in the FedEx Cup points standings and has to be among the top 125 to earn a position in the series of four playoff tournaments. Only one more event remains in which to gain points for the playoffs -- the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. -- and Woods said Friday he will not take part in that event.
"Now I'll have nothing to do but work on my game," Woods said. "That's going to be good. I have more power now. I'm hitting the ball much further. So it's just a matter of just doing the work."
Woods has an international commitment in November, but almost certainly will not compete in a regular event on the PGA Tour until next year. His winless streak in major championships has reached 14. He needs four more major wins to tie the career record held by Jack Nicklaus.

Today I'm going to start something new on my blog.
I'm going to post weekly or monthly, depends on how many people are going to like this idea and how much time I have with my exams and all, a blogpost in which I answer questions or discuss things that aren't beauty or fashion related. Like; Teenage-things, girls stuff, boys, dealing with feelings or situations, personal style & so on. [I'm not going to talk about too personal stuff]
You can send me questions on Twitter, Twitter direct messages, Youtube & the comments underneed. I wouldn't recommend sending it to my email since I haven't used it in a while, because I only got spam and now I probably have so much spam that I can't find the real messages.
And this sounds so formal for some reason haha, no but I really want to give my blog a more 'personal' twist besides the fashion and the hauls and the reviews.

MIAMI (AFP) - Charley Hoffman fired a six-under-par 66 on Friday (March 17) to seize a one-shot lead early in the second round of the US PGA Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.
The 40-year-old American opened with a bogey but recovered with seven pars to stand on 10-under 134 after 36 holes at the famed Orlando course where Palmer, the golfing legend who died last September, hosted the event for many years.
"If you get in the fairway you can sort of attack," Hoffman said. "The greens are surprisingly receptive. You can shoot at some of those pins that in the past you haven't and I was able to take advantage of it. A pretty solid round. I'm pretty happy. I hope I can keep it going the next few days."
With afternoon starters yet to finish, Hoffman was one stroke in front of Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, who had nine holes remaining, and two ahead of England's Matthew Fitzpatrick, who shared the 18-hole lead with Grillo on 67.
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy, preparing for his bid at a career Grand Slam in three weeks at the Masters, fired a 71 Friday to stand on 145.
McIlroy, a four-time major champion, opened on the back nine with back-to-back bogeys, sending his first tee shot way left and his second into a fairway bunker.
The world number three birdied the par-5 12th, sank a 30-foot eagle putt at the par-5 16th, then sent his tee shot at the par-3 16th into the water on the way to a double bogey.
McIlroy, 27, completed the roller-coaster opening nine with a nine-foot birdie putt at 18 before closing with eight pars and a birdie at the par-5 fourth.
Hoffman, at Bay Hill for the first time since 2013, seeks his fifth US PGA crown and his first since last April's Texas Open.
After his first-hole stumble when he was short of the green on his approach, Hoffman sank a 37-foot birdie putt at the fifth and birdied the par-5 sixth and par-4 ninth. He birdied the 11th, dropped a 32-foot birdie putt at 13, added another birdie at 16 and birdied 18 for the second day in a row, hitting a 10-foot putt to end his round.
"It's playing good and you can make some putts," Hoffman said. "But I expect it's going to firm up this weekend."
Hoffman also paid tribute to Palmer, whose memory lingers this week after decades as the US face of golf, making the sport popular on television and becoming a sports marketing pioneer in the process.
"He was what we all wanted to be, a favourite of the fans," Hoffman said. "He paved the way for all of us."

After doing the Christmas Countdown and the Snowman Snowfight, I wanted to get into something more mechanical. I got an old Dish Network dish that an uncle was throwing away (how could I turn that down!?), but I needed something to do with it. My brother came up with the idea for a pseudo North Pole NORAD type of display. Part of the impetus for this was my Great-Grandfather’s Christmas displays that are still running to this day (I never got to meet him, but I’ve seen his handy work MANY times and am always in awe of his skill with little to no formal education).
Things evolved from the original idea, but what I ended up wanting was two people monitoring Santa’s situation on Christmas Eve night from their command center up at the North Pole. While looking for dolls we could use, my wife and I found some stuffed bears in Christmas outfits at a thrift store, so that became our characters (instead of elves). We decided to have one talking on a walkie-talkie who would have a hand moving up and down, and then have the second one sitting in a rotating chair near a table that would simulate him swiveling. In addition to the two moving bears, I was going to put an animated radar display in the box and of course have a rotating dish on the roof (since that is how this all started).
I hadn’t designed a display like this, but I figured it would be pretty straightforward. The display is solid, but it might be bit overkill (in hindsight, I desperately need to cut the weight down). I used 2x6s as my base and ½” CDX plywood for the walls. I had 1x1s that I used as framing to lock in the walls to the ceiling and each other. We primed everything and then painted it all up.
The trickiest part was finding a way to add the Plexiglas front yet be able to remove it easily if I want to make any modifications inside. One of the things that people warned me about with plexi is that you cannot lock it down due to the expansion/contractions that happen when the temps change (will cause it to crack).
For the plexi, I ended up doing a pseudo framing. I used 1x1s and framed out the inside of the box about an inch inset from the front edge. I then cut the plexi to be about the same size of the opening (1/4” less in each direction to compensate for expansion), and then I made another frame that goes on the other side of the plexi (making a plexi sandwich with 1x1s as the bread). I can then secure the outer framing into place and the plexi is still floating so it can expand/contract as needed. To cut the plexi, I read about a trick that worked wonders. I used a plastic cutting blade in my table saw and installed it in reverse (so the teeth are running backwards). Then you make the blade slightly taller than the plexi and cut. This worked much better than trying to score it or cut through with a razor blade and you don’t even need to tape down the area you plan on cutting. One word of warning is that fumes from the plastic as it partially melts stink pretty bad (and I am sure are not good for you), so make sure you have some while ventilation while cutting.
Having to get a PIC involved somehow, I wanted to make a sweeping animated radar display to track Santa’s movements. It is a pretty simple design that just repeats at a set rate over and over again. Everything is run off of 5V DC and the white LEDs are wired up in parallel and powered by a Darlington Transistor pair (because of the higher current that the PIC cannot safely source). The red LEDs are wired up the same way and turn on after the hand has swept by and slowly fade out. The fading is accomplished by using a changing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to duty cycle the amount of time the LED is actually on. If you do this fast enough the human eye should not be able to see the flicker (a lot of digital alarm clocks use this technique), and by reducing the amount of time the light has power in the duty cycle it gives the appearance that the light is fading out. Holes were drilled into a cut piece of Luan and the LEDs were poked through and hot glued into place. The circuit was wired up on a piece of perfboard with through-hole parts and attached to the back of the Luan. Here is the schematic and the source code for the radar.
A lot of people in the Christmas and Halloween hacker community like to use wiper motors (as in the motors used for wiper blades in a car) and so I decided that was how I was going to make my movements work and I bought some new wipers from Monster Guts (you can also pull them off of cars at a junkyard for much cheaper). One thing to realize is that wiper motors actually rotate 360° (even though your blades go back and forth), so you have to take rotary motion and turn it into other types of motion (unless you want something that turns 360°).
Another thing about wiper motors is that they are considered brushless DC motors, which is very important. This is good because it means you can swap the power and ground pins and reverse the direction the motor rotates (this isn’t necessary for my application). The other benefit is that you can vary the speed the motor rotates by varying the voltage applied to it. I found that at 3.3V the particular motor I had would rotate fine, but any lower and I couldn’t get the motor to start up from an “off” state. I will be running my motors off of 3.3V on the low speed setting (most of the wiper motors have a “high” and “low” speed setting) for a roughly 6RPM output. You can run these safely at up to 12V and get a much faster rotation (with a trade off of less torque). A good site for information all things wiper motors is Scary Terry’s Halloween prop site.
Having no mechanical background (or skills), I spent most of my time trying to get the moving bears worked out. I originally was just going to have one bear moving (the one with the walkie), but my wife thought that the second bear swiveling in the chair would look better if he was actually turning, so that complicated things some (but made the display more interesting).
I was having trouble figuring out how to turn a rotating motion into a linear reciprocating motion with a pause at the top and bottom until I talked to a friend who is into cars as a hobby. He mentioned that what I was looking for sounded a lot like a cam. Researching cams I came a across a great site by Rob Ives who has a great breakdown (with very nice animations) to explains all things mechanical. There I saw a cam with a cam-follower in action and my walkie talkie bear had life. To make the cam, I cut out a piece of wood in the shape of a guitar pic (at least that is what it looks like to me). I tried to adjust it such that the time the walkie was at its apex equaled the time it was down (and the time it took to lift it matched the time it took to set it down). I had a few false starts with how to raise the rod up/down in a smooth motion until I saw a cam follower on Rob’s site that would fit my needs. I installed a lever on a hinge (my fulcrum) that would get raised and lowered as the cam rotated around. I then put another hinge on the end of the lever and welded a rod that would push the walkie-talkie up and pull it down (making the bear look like he was using the walkie).
With my walkie-talkie bear working, I turned my attention to my wife’s rotating bear. I figured I could reuse the same motor (that would save me complexity and money), but I didn’t want the bear to rotate in a complete 360°. Back on Rob’s site I started looking into cranks; they take a rotary motion and turn it into a reciprocating one. I then take that reciprocating motion and turn a wheel partially in a circle (making a back and forth motion). Having the mechanics figured out, I went out and got a small, 7”, Lazy Susan kit that was intended to be used in a kitchen for a rotating spice rack (and things of that ilk). That Lazy Susan will be what I rotate and the ball bearings will ease friction making for a smoother, more effortless rotation. I attached some wood to the Lazy Susan and extended a dowel rod up into the display to act as the swiveling barstool-like chair.
The Rotating Dish
The last step was to finally finish up the dish (what started everything). The dish has its own motor and uses a crank motion just like the sitting bear. I had initially planned on having the dish rotate around completely, but I decided at some point I would be adding a red blinking light to it, and it is easier to do that with things that don’t rotate completely, so I took the easy way out (plus I think it still serves its purpose). In the future, if I want to make it rotate completely and I still want a blinking light, I will need a slip-ring to make that happen.
Since the dish acts sort of like a giant wind sail and will be out in the elements, I needed a much sturdier lazy susan that the little one from Lowes. Using an idea borrowed from other online designs, I used two PVC toilet flanges that fit into each other to build my own (one has a longer neck than the other to offset them). To help keep things smooth I used Vaseline as a lubricant (though I think a silicon based lubricant might be a better option in the future).
<TANGENT> I spent an unusually long time trying to figure out the lengths of my rotating arm on the cranks for the rotating distances for the lazy susans until I realized it was very simple. What you need to know is the radius (r) of the lazy susan you want to turn (which could be how far from the center your rotating point is), and the amount of inches you would like to turn the lazy susan around in the circle (d). So, if we have a lazy susan of radius r=3 in. and we want to turn it a quarter of a turn (d= (1/4)*circumference= (1/4)*(2+pi+r)= 4.712 in.), we need the arm on the motor to be half of d (2.36 in.). This works pretty well to get you close to what you want to do, but the crank approach won’t work for turns more than 180°, so I try to keep mine close to 120° or less. </ TANGENT>
After all that effort, I put the dish up where it would be mounted to look at it and it looked very silly. The dish was much too large for the little display. Scrapping that I decided to make a dish out of plywood and PVC. My wife painted it up to give it a candy cane look.
Powering the Display
The display itself does not draw much power. The lights I settled on for inside the display are just standard 120VAC clear C7 Christmas lights. For the radar and the two motors I needed 5V DC and 3.3V DC respectively. I ended up buying a power supply from Electronic Goldmine which takes in 120VAC and outputs 5V @ 7A and 3.3V @ 10A. I then wired up the two wiper motors to the 3.3V output and used the 5V for the radar. I also installed a standard outlet underneath the display to plug wall power into and then it powers the lights and the power supply (or anything else I want to run without needing a separate extension cord).
The whole display draws about 400mA, or about 50W, so less than a normal incandescent light bulb!

**Step-by-step: No**
The article does not present a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a specific task step-by-step. While it describes various processes involved in creating the display, the information is more of a narrative detailing the author's experiences and thoughts rather than structured, actionable instructions.

**Training: No**
The procedural instructions are not well-structured enough for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning. Although the article contains useful information on materials and methods, it lacks clarity in organization, making it difficult to extract coherent instructional content for a learning model. The narrative format and lack of explicit procedures hinder the process of reasoning and generalized learning.

One of my favorite things you all know by now is to do CAS cards. Well, believe me nothing is so clean and simple as using an acrylic block to capture a colorful background for a silhouette stamp. By swiping colors onto a block and spritzing with water you can make beautiful backgrounds. Here is one I did this week.
The silhouette family image and sentiment are both from I Brake For Stamps. I layered the white, black and blue card stocks to showcase the focal image. I also carried the card stock layers over to the left bottom inside panel to tie the colors together. I used ink pad colors which I thought might look like a sky at dawn. I suppose it could also work for a sunset as well.
My arm is still bothering me somewhat but I am able to do layering much easier than using my Big Kick to crank out die cuts. And stamping does not seem to bother me either. I think in the last few weeks I overdid it with cranking out dies and so therefore I injured it. But it is slowly getting better so I am hoping by another week I can be back to normal.
Well, here it is the weekend again. It seems time flies by with so much speed these days. Guess I am having too much fun! LOL I hope you have a great one,

I'm a bit late to the holiday blog posting. Some of you may be wondering why I've missed my Tuesday blogging. Most of you didn't even know I usually blog on Tuesdays, seeing as how I am far from a consistent blogger. ;) This Christmas has kept me pretty busy with various outings, giving me a little bit of - albeit late - Christmas post inspiration.
Whatever style of pre-Christmas activities you may prefer, there are usually at least a few gatherings that encourage a bit of dressing up for the holiday fun. Between parties, performances, social gatherings, present shopping, and Christmas day being on Sunday, there are a myriad of opportunities to brighten up your basic make-up routine. Here are a few of my favorite Christmas Inspired make-up pieces this year.
* First, I am so in love with eyeliner. I think it is my favorite make-up piece, as you put a little of that on and it manages to brighten up your eyes and draw the focus away from flyaway hair and dark circles. Getting a soft liner gives you the precision, while keeping you from pressing too hard on your eyes. A good eyeliner gives a lovely definition to your face, pulling the focus where you want it.
* Second, a shimmering gold eyeshadow gives and extra sparkle for a special occasion. I don't wear eyeshadow very much, both due to lack of time and talent, but a nice gold shade is easy enough to put on and compliments most Christmas outfits. This time of year, a little extra shine is just so nice.
* Finally, we come to my friend and nemesis the red lipstick. Festive and vintage, bold and classic, this look is one of my favorites - especially during the holidays! Of course, I'm still learning the application process, but between all of the lip-liners, sticks, glosses, and stains, there is surely a way to keep this on all through a party. I'm still struggling a little bit with the exact products to use (if you know how to make this work, let me know! <3 ) but nonetheless, I so definitely love this look. It makes a statement while remaining classy, and the red gives off such a lovely Christmas vibe.
And there you have it! My simple, basic, but effective Christmas make-up inspiration pieces. I have a lot more to learn about make-up, but I'm hoping to try some new products soon. Maybe we'll see more of that around the blog in the coming New Year!
Do you have any make-up tips specifically for the holidays? Any favorite looks this time of year?

Ok, now I did promise some decorating pics.
This is the Christmas tree in our living room. This is supposed to be the nice, color coordinated tree that everyone ohhs and ahhs over when they visit. And they pretty much do. Of course, this year, I just told the kids to decorate it any old way, so they did. Hence the glob of beads and ribbon in about the middle. But hey, all I had to do was put the thing up and get the lights on, so I'm thinking they did a pretty nice job.
Well, my wonderful middle kidlet (who turns 11 day after tomorrow) is sitting here decreeing that I need to get off the computer so she can get on to do "homework" (yeah, sure, looking at YouTube is homework LOL) so I better leave for now. Have a great day!

Free Download | Hundreds of Thousands - Dizzy Wright & Demrick
Honestly, linking up with these two artists has been one of the realest experiences we’ve had as a music blog. The misconception of big-name rappers was put to rest as soon as we sparked up, poured up, and shotgunned brews with Dizzy and Demrick. It’s hard to find signed artists who consistently release free music, but it’s even harder to find signed artists who are still humble and down to earth. Although they’ve collabed in the past, this song is by far the best thing they’ve put out together, and it’s one of their better tracks individually too. The Reezy produced beat is based around a down-tempo panning ambient synth; very simple beat, but so ever-so-vibey, and interesting enough to keep you nodding for the entire 3 minutes and 44 seconds. The two artists take turns laying down inspirational verses about making enough money to live their dreams and fulfill their passion for marijuana. If this hook doesn’t get stuck in your head, I’m not sure what hook will. Cop the free download, put this song on repeat, and be sure to follow Dizzy and Demrick on twitter.
