Kelowna's Bruce Hamilton tops WHL Power Poll - (USA)
By GREGG DRINNAN Daily News Sports Editor The Silver Fox has ascended the throne. For years, Ed Chynoweth was the voice of the Western Hockey League and it didn’t matter what his title was, or even if he had one. It was no surprise a year ago when Chynoweth emerged on top of the first Daily News WHL Power Poll, a ranking of the 25 people who wield the most influence on the major junior league. However, Chynoweth died April 22 at the age of 66 after a two-year fight with cancer. With Chynoweth go

Guest Post: Men and Women: Different but the Same - (USA)
Complicated Women” entry, I’m guessing Big is the type of guy most men NEVER want to be. The idea that there’s a Sex and the City girl in all of us--that we have to be one of the four--well, that’s also wrong. First of all, everyone wants to be Carrie. Watch and learn: See more funny videos at Funny or Die Secondly, women are complicated. How many times do we have to say it? You get it. I get it. What everyone ignores is that guys are also complex creatures. Take, for example, the overheard

What's New In Dart's iPod #42 AKA The Anniversary Edition - (USA)
I can't believe that a whole damn year has passed from the very first day I decided to sit my ass down in a chair and write a review blog for some of the new albums that were coming out. The story behind how it all came together is pretty interesting. First off, we all know that one of my major rules with this blog is to NOT do what everyone else is doing.When I first started this blog out in January 2007, the way I figured I could draw in readership was by posting up CD's from my collection tha

Naked in Norway, Maine - (USA)
Friday Susan and Janet have invited Eleanor and me to their lake house in Norway, Maine (not far from Paris, Maine.) It’s hot and sticky as we head north. Normally a three-hour drive, we stretch it out by stopping for frozen custard ice cream, for a home-baked strawberry-rhubarb pie (be still my heart) and then to the big grocery store for supplies. There’s a lot going on in our lives. Susan has just celebrated her 60th birthday with muted bewilderment. Eleanor has been at her second home on

More of Your Dream - (USA)
Jump to CommentsI hate feet. I hate my feet, I hate your feet and thought of sucking on one of Judge Judy’s toes makes me want to projectile vomit. I think my hatred began when I was a bar waiter on the Holiday and shared a cabin and dorm style shared bathrooms with various nationalities who all would shower in their bare feet…….me………….I wore my Nikes. That’s one of the reasons I hate summer. Yep………its summer and that means getting your feet out in flip-flops, sandals and open-toed Jesus creeper

Move Some Iron, Malaise Era Style: Dealer's Choice Board Game! [Games] - (USA)
During my Malaise Era childhood, my sisters and I would often set up the card table for an acrimonious, hatred-filled session of the classic 1971 Parker Brothers used-car-selling board game Dealer's Choice. I hadn't thought about this fine game- a staple in the Martin family during the mid-1970s- for years, until I spotted one at a yard sale not long ago. The goal is to lie your ass off about the value of the clunkers on your lot, while avoiding getting caught in those lies. Definitely wor

LSU vs. Georgia: Will the Real Contender Please Stand Up? - (USA)
At the end of the 2007 season, LSU & Georgia found themselves 1st & 2nd in the rankings. LSU ended a 12-2 season with a conference title, and-ultimately- embracing Waterford Crystal. Georgia, well, Georgia was left to First Loser status. After finishing the season with 7 straight victories, including a win over Florida in the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, UGA went into the final weekend of the season ranked 4th. Watching everyone lose in front of them, only to watch LSU subsequently

Open House: House Play - (USA)
Yesterday, I talked about one designer who advocates play in public, but today I'd like to focus on play at home. At my house, there's always a deck of cards and a Scrabble board on hand, if not littering my coffee table, and one shouldn't be surprised to find trails of paper penciled with hangman games throughout my home. And there's always play going on when my dog, Ozzie, is in the room (or the backyard). What about you? Do you still play? Is there a designated area in your home for games? D

"A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing." - (USA)
It was dinner on the deck last evening, one of my favorite summer pastimes. We get to sit up high among the trees and enjoy the sounds of the night. We had fajitas. They were perfect. I would have a front porch if I could. I'd sit out there and rock and wave at every neighbor who went by the house. Lemonade would be a necessity. The pitcher would be clear glass and filled to the brim. It would sit on the small table next to my rocker. The porch swing would be at one end and have a flowered cush

Kentucky, USA - (USA)
Kentucky- the land of Abraham Lincoln, Bluegrass music, Bourbon whiskey, the Kentucky Derby, some of the biggest losses in the Civil War, and all the family on my mother`s side. I`m British because my Dad is British and my mother ceded American citizenship when I was a kid- but I`ve always felt my soul was American: Kentucky American, and to a very small degree: Native American American. I`m talking about this because I just got back from a 10-day vacation with my family in Kentucky. I haven`t

Floss Fight at The Sage Inn - (USA)
This past weekend my Monday Night Stitch Therapy group had our long awaited stitch weekend/retreat at the Sage Inn B& B in Dover, Kansas. Dover is a very small unincorporated community 13 miles west of Topeka. You will remember we made a one night trial run at this same location. We had been looking forward to this weekend and we were not disappointed. A great time was has by all. I even said I thought someone messed with the time and made things speed up and gave us less time there. Everyone ar

Cheap Birthday Parties And Favors For Boys - (USA)
by Valerie Hegwood Girls have an endless array of pink and princess materials for economical birthday parties. Boys and blue are a little more challenging however. Finding low-priced birthday favors and treats are hard to locate as most boys’ toys and games tend to be more elaborate and follow licensing agreements that pass off the cost to you as a consumer. But you can still throw quite a fun, themed birthday party for boys that will leave them clamoring for more. Here are some budgeting ti

Eight Other Ways to "Connect with Community" - (USA)
Last month, the Christian Science Monitor published an article entitled, "Museums' new mantra: Connect with community." It took me a couple weeks (and various museum blog responses ) to realize what bugs me about this article--it treats "connecting with community" as a marketing ploy, a "mantra" rather than a mission. While there is much talk about supporting participation and making museum content relevant, the word "community" hangs like a poorly-defined carrot on a shtick. The art

Multi-level Homeschooling: Little Ones Part 1 - (USA)
One of the most frequent questions on my post about multi-level homeschooling was, “What do you do with the little ones?” So here is my attempt to tackle this BIG question. Since we began homeschooling until recently we have had 3-4 children ages three and younger, (we now only have a 4, 3, and 1 year old) so some things that work well for us, may not work for you. We’ve never had only one small child and I imagine that would be quite different. So as always, take what will work for you a

Some Garden Pics to Share - (USA)
HI!!!! It's nice to "see" everybody again!!! *grin* Mom called this morning to see if I was still alive. I guess it's been so long since I've posted (ok. I know it has!) that she was worried about us. Really, we're ok!!! Just busy.We had soccer all 5 week-nights last week. We won the first 3 games, lost the last two. However, the loss-margins on the last two games were tiny compared to how massively we've lost to those two teams in the past. Out of 8 teams in our age-level, we took 3rd place. *g

Fathers And Homeschooling: Teach What You Know - (USA)
Home school is always in. When we first began our oldest daughter’s homeschool education, we thought that we needed to have a full curriculum and study guides and other “teaching” materials before we could really “teach” her at home. We borrowed a friend’s homeschool curriculum and started exploring what that meant. The materials consisted of teaching guides for different subjects (math, english, science, history), instructions for games that inspired cooperation, materials lists, workbooks, a

We had lots of plans for the weekend, although Cheesehead's plans were different from mine. He wanted a deck and kept interrupting my work to help him with his plan. It was eviden

The 50 Best Games of the Fulmer Era - #16: A Six Overtime Heart Attack - (USA)
(finals are over, binge writing continues, woo!) I sat in the student section at Neyland Stadium from 1999-2002. In that timespan, I saw plenty of heartbreak - Jabar Gaffney's catch/no-catch, Georgia's Hobnailed Boot, Casey Clausen fumbling everything away against Florida in the rain, and Alabama's first win against the Vols in eight years. And there are also plenty of good memories: blasting Georgia in 1999, the post-9/11 game against LSU, the genesis of Casey Clausen and lots of great pl

This is the third year we chose a house from Cyberrentals.com and it's been a great way to find a place to rent, and it's so much more cost effective than staying in a hotel for 7 people.

A Comprehensive Guide to Using Tiki Torches with Safety in Mind - (USA)
For all that tiki torches are my preferred option for garden lighting, it would be naïve and even careless not to address the risks associated with them. Let’s face it, for all but battery operated models (which simulate fire without actually producing it) tiki torches are… well, torches. There’s a flame on one end and most yards and gardens are full of a fair amount of flammable items. The good news is we can mitigate the risks with some simple precautions and common sense approaches in mind

The Frugal Introvert: Fifty Ways to Have Fun By Yourself on the Cheap - (USA)
After my recent popular post on 100 ways to spend a money free weekend, I received a most interesting comment from a Lifehacker reader named HFC: It looks like a lot of free things are boring and/or require you to actually have friends. Aren’t there any fun things I can do by myself? This comment really spurred my thinking. I’m a proud introvert - most of the activities I enjoy are either done alone or with a very tight group of friends. I don’t feel comfortable in large social situations, th
