Atlantic Notes: Divisional Upgrades?, McAvoy, Barre-Boulet
July 13, 2019 at 3:27 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 2 Comments
Despite quite a bit of movement this offseason, it doesn't look like much has changed in the Atlantic Division. With three teams that have dominated the division for the past few seasons, several teams were hoping to vault themselves into contention for the top of the Atlantic. However, The Athletic's John Vogl (subscription required) analyzes each line of each divisional team and comes to the conclusion that little has changed.
The Boston Bruins are in the top half of the division on almost every line from forwards to defensemen and especially show off their defensive depth to still be ranked at the top. The Toronto Maple Leafs have also improved their team with a number of defensive additions and have quite a bit of forward depth as always, but their third-pairing depth is expected to be at the bottom of the division. Tampa Bay continues to be one of the strongest teams with a number of top lines throughout the division.
While many feel that Florida has taken that next step after the team signed goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and added a pair of depth forwards in Brett Connolly and Noel Acciari, the Panthers find themselves in the middle of the pack for most of their lines. Even Bobrovsky doesnt' give Florida that big of an advantage considering that he's now in a division with Frederik Andersen, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tuukka Rask and Carey Price.
The Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont writes that after the Boston Bruins inked forward Danton Heinen to a two-year deal at $2.8MM AAV, the Bruins will now focus their attention on their two most challenging restricted free agents in Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo. The negotiations should prove challenging as the team hopes to keep their combined total to under $10MM per season. The team should be able to handle that. However, if they combine for closer to $11-12MM, the team will have to make some roster moves to free up some cap space. McAvoy, who has scored 14 goals and 60 points over two seasons and has proven the ability to be the team's lead defenseman should get the most of that money, but Carlo's development seems to have increased his value during the playoffs and he should get quite a raise as well.
With some openings at the bottom of their offensive depth chart, NHL.com's Bryan Burns writes in his recent mailbag piece that there are a number of AHL players that are ready to challenge for these openings, including Alex Barre-Boulet, Carter Verhaeghe at the top of the list. Barre-Boulet, who the team signed out of the QMJHL after he went undrafted, dominated in his first season in the AHL last season, while Verhaeghe finally posted a dominant season with the Syracuse Crunch after toiling in the ECHL for several years. Tampa Bay, which has proven to be proficient in developing their players for NHL duty, also have a number of other prospects close to ready as well, including Alexander Volkov, Mitchell Stephens and Cory Conacher.

Eastern Notes: Belmont Project, Krug, Botterill
July 7, 2019 at 12:58 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 3 Comments
Despite numerous recent delays in the groundbreaking of construction of the New York Islanders future 19,000-seat arena in the Belmont Park area, the Islanders got some good news today. Empire State Development hopes to approve the final environmental impact statement next week, according to David Winzelberg of the Long Island Business News.
The project has been held up due to the environmental report, but Empire State Development has scheduled a meeting of its board of directors and seek "authorization to accept and approve" it. The approval of the final environmental impact statement should be the final step to beginning the construction of the $1.18 billion plan to build the Islanders new arena, a 250-room hotel and a 435,000 square-foot retail village onto the Belmont property.
On a separate note, however, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was also scheduled to be on Long Island Monday to announce a new railroad station at the Belmont project, but has postponed that appearance.
The Boston Herald's Marisa Ingemi wonders if this might be the right time for the Boston Bruins to seriously consider moving defenseman Torey Krug. With a number of restricted free agents they must deal with, including an incredibly pricey one for Charlie McAvoy as well as contracts for Brandon Carlo and Danton Heinen, the team might want to free up some money. Throw in some of their holes on offense and their depth on defense, moving Krug might make some sense. The 28-year-old is on the final year of his contract and will likely get a significant raise from his $5.25MM current salary. Will Boston want to commit to a 29-year-old long-term?
The Athletic's Joe Yerdon (subscription required) writes that while the hiring of Jason Botterill two years ago hasn't resulted in immediate success for the Buffalo Sabres, the same can't be said for the team's AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans. Since Botterill and Randy Sexton took over in May of 2017, the two have put quite a bit of effort into rebuilding their AHL affiliate, which has now made the playoffs two years in a row after missing the playoffs for three straight years before that. That has been evident once again this week when the team added a number of top AHL talent, including forwards Jean-Sebastian Dea, Curtis Lazar and C.J. Smith, defenseman John Gilmour and goaltender Andrew Hammond. The belief is that Botterill believes that AHL success should only add that needed depth that can eventually help the NHL squad as well.

Free Agent Focus: Boston Bruins
June 29, 2019 at 4:07 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg Leave a Comment
Free agency is now just a few days away and there are quite a few prominent players set to hit the open market while many teams have key restricted free agents to re-sign. The Boston Bruins have a several important restricted free agents they will have to focus on as they will have to lock up some of their top young defenders, while they also have a couple useful unrestricted free agents. The question will be whether they are willing to pay up to keep them.
Key Restricted Free Agent: D Charlie McAvoy – With all the talk around the league of high-priced expectations for many of the top restricted free agent forwards around the league, arguably the best restricted free agent defenseman in McAvoy has seemingly flown under the radar. McAvoy has been amazing and has quickly taken over as the future of the Bruins defense, posting 14 goals and 60 points over the past two years with Boston. The 21-year-old has been the perfect offensive addition on the blueline since arriving after two years at Boston University. If there was something that could be holding McAvoy back, it would be his inability to stay healthy as he played just 63 games in his rookie year and then played even less last year in 54 games total. Despite that, the RFA should pick up a big pay raise over the $1.26MM he made last season.
D – Brandon Carlo – In many ways, Carlo is the opposite of McAvoy. The 22-year-old is not known for his offense, but is a defensive player who has needed time to develop and only more recently has he developed into a shutdown defender that Boston had envisioned when they drafted the 6-foot-5 blueliner in the second round back in 2015. While he isn't likely to come anywhere close to the money that McAvoy should receive, Carlo has become a key player on the team's top-four and should only continue to get better.
F – Danton Heinen – One thing the Boston Bruins need are top-six wingers to continue posting the offense they are used to. The question is whether Heinen is that guy for them. After putting up 16 goals and 47 points in his rookie season, many people suspected that Heinen would continue to thrive in that role. Instead, he struggled putting the puck into the net and eventually found himself put on the team's third line as he failed to produce, finishing the season with just 11 goals and 34 points. The question is which player is he? The team must decide that, likely ending up with a short-term deal so that Heinen can prove that he deserves to be paid.
Other RFAs: F Peter Cehlarik, F Ryan Fitzgerald, Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson
Key Unrestricted Free Agents: F Marcus Johansson – The team fared quite well at the trade deadline, acquiring players who truly helped the franchise reach the Stanley Cup this season. One of the key players was Johansson, who had struggled in two seasons with New Jersey, but proved to be a big contributor in the playoffs, putting up four goals and 11 points in 22 playoff games. Unfortunately, his success could have priced himself out of Boston's salary cap plans, but there is hope that both teams could still work out a deal. However, the team may be forced to look elsewhere if the 28-year-old can net himself an impressive offer from another team later this week.
F – Noel Acciari – Six goals and 14 points may not sound like much, but the 27-year-old has become a fixture on Boston's fourth line. While the team could survive without him, Acciari is well known for his hard-hitting style of play and his willingness to sacrifice his body to help the team. In fact, the fourth-liner suffered a broken sternum, yet still played through it throughout the playoffs, something that any team might appreciate. Regardless, the team has made an offer and Acciari opted not to accept it, so the team could end up losing him, although a deal remains possible.
Other UFAs: G Zane McIntyre; F Mark McNeill; F Gemel Smith; F Lee Stempniak; F Jordan Szwarz
Projected Cap Space: The Bruins currently sit a little more than $12MM under the cap ceiling, according to CapFriendly, but still must add McAvoy, which could end up being pricey, while also having to sign Carlo and Heinen. That should take a chunk of that cap space, but the team should still have the ability to sign one of their unrestricted free agents or even find a couple of cheaper options on the unrestricted free agent market on Monday.

Boston Bruins Re-Sign Steven Kampfer
June 25, 2019 at 10:45 am CDT | by Zach Leach 4 Comments
Tuesday: The Bruins have officially announced the contract, confirming the duration and salary reported by Seravalli.
Monday: Defensive depth proved to be key for a Boston Bruins team that struggled with injuries on the blue line throughout the regular season and into the postseason. All but one the 12 different defenseman that took the ice for the Bruins this season were under team control moving forward, either under contract or as restricted free agents. But the team has worked quickly to rectify the situation with that lone outlying unrestricted free agent. TSN's Frank Seravalli reports that Boston has re-signed Steven Kampfer to a two-year deal worth $800K annually.
Kampfer, 30, began his second stint with the Bruins last summer, when he was traded by the New York Rangers in the deal that landed Adam McQuaid. Kampfer began the year as Boston's eighth defenseman, but as a bevy of injuries plagued the team all year, particularly fellow veteran righty Kevan Miller, Kampfer ended up playing in 35 games and was the only Bruins defenseman who began the year on the NHL roster that did not miss time due to injury. Kampfer proved to be an optimal extra man, as his experience and sound defensive play made him a great plug-and-play option. While not much of an offensive contributor, Kampfer is valued for his ability to step in and play a smart, safe defensive game, rarely looking out of place when he filled in.
The two-year term on Kampfer's new contract is telling for multiple reasons. First, it means that the Bruins see Kampfer as more than just a year-to-year investment and the future of the team's blue line is far less certain beyond next season. Two of Boston's biggest injury concerns on defense, 41-year-old Zdeno Chara and accident-prone Kevan Miller, are also not signed beyond next year. So while the team is very deep on the back end next year, there is a chance that they could lose some of that depth a year from now and Kampfer could be even more important then than he is next season. Additionally, Seravalli reports that there has been interest in Kampfer from other teams. That news plus the two-year term makes it a safe assumption that this is a one-way deal for Kampfer. Such a contract won't be as appealing on waivers if the Bruins do need to move Kampfer to the minor leagues. Although John Moore will not be ready to start the season due to recent major surgery, at some point during the year the team could hypothetically have Kampfer, Moore, Chara, Miller, Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo, Torey Krug, and Matt Grzelcyk all healthy, which could make Kampfer the odd man out if there is a roster crunch.
A team-friendly contract for a familiar and reliable player on a cap-strapped team would seem to be good news all around for the Bruins. However, barring a trade or another year of rampant injuries, Kampfer's extension does not bode well for promising prospects like Connor Clifton, Urho Vaakanainen, Jakub Zboril, and Jeremy Lauzon. All four got into the Bruins' lineup this season, but the odds of a return appearance just took a hit. The circumstances are especially troubling for Clifton, who played in 19 regular season games and 18 playoff games this year and looked ready to take on Boston's first man up role next year. After getting so close to a Stanley Cup title this year, Kampfer's extension is clearly a sign of a team focused on winning now, even if that means burying their budding prospects for another year or two.

Atlantic Notes: Backes, Kronwall, Reinhart, Zaitsev
June 23, 2019 at 11:05 am CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 25 Comments
With the NHL salary cap set Saturday at $81.5MM for the 2019-20 season, cap room has become a premium. That became just as apparent Saturday when teams began unloading some of their expensive contracts, including Nashville's P.K. Subban (to New Jersey), Tampa Bay's J.T. Miller (to Vancouver) and Toronto's Patrick Marleau (to Carolina). The latter trade of Marleau to the Hurricanes perhaps was the most interesting as Toronto also had to fork over a 2020 first-round pick as part of the package to unload Marleau's $6.25MM contract.
That deal may become a precedent for teams hoping to move out a bad contract. In fact, because of that trade, The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa (subscription required) suggests that the Boston Bruins will likely have to keep forward David Backes on the roster for at least another year. The Bruins still owe $6MM to the 35-year-old Backes for another two seasons, which isn't helping the team as they must re-sign a number of key free agents, including restricted free agents Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo and Danton Heinen and also wouldn't mind keeping unrestricted free agents Marcus Johansson and Noel Acciari. Backes has struggled the last couple of seasons, but his numbers really fell off this season as he posted just seven goals and 20 points in 70 games and has fallen into a bottom-six role.
While the team wouldn't mind unloading that contract, Shinzawa writes that the Marleau deal, which has a similar number to Backes' contract, except for one more year, would almost guarantee cost the Bruins a first-round pick (and possibly more) to unload, which they are unlikely willing to do.
The Detroit Free-Press' Helene St. James reports that the Detroit Red Wings and general manager Steve Yzerman won't change their offseason plan as they wait for defenseman Niklas Kronwall to make a decision on whether he wants to return for a 16th season. The veteran may not make a decision until late in the offseason. One reason to suggest that the 38-year-old could return is that he is 47 games shy of having played 1,000 games. The long-time Red Wings blueliner still fared well last year, scoring three goals and 27 points in 79 games.
The Athletic's John Vogl writes that while the Buffalo Sabres need a second-line center to give Casey Mittelstadt time to adjust to the NHL, general manager Jason Botterill said that it is unlikely that Sam Reinhart will be moving there. Reinhart, originally drafted as a center when he was the second-overall pick in 2014, saw his career take off when the team moved him to the right wing position two seasons ago. Since then, he's tallied 47 goals in those two years. "Look, it's always a possibility there," said Botterill. "You have to be open to it and we'll see how things go with Ralph (Krueger) with that discussion, but I also think in the last year or so, he's excelled on the wing and I think he's in a position where he can drive a line from the wing."
The Athletic's Jonas Siegel reports that Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas said Saturday that there is nothing new on the trade front when it comes to moving defenseman Nikita Zaitsev. The team has made it clear to other teams they aren't just going to use him as a salary dump. "We're willing to try to accommodate him and work with him, but we need a similar player back," Dubas said. "We don't have the depth on D and we don't want to rush our prospects."

Free Agency Notes: Edler, Hayes, Pavelski, Krug
June 17, 2019 at 1:45 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 3 Comments
When Alex Edler asked Vancouver not to move him at the NHL Trade Deadline, many assumed it was precursor to an extension between the long-time Canuck and his team. Yet, as the weeks have passed and no resolution has emerged, that expectation grew less and less certain. Now, after a month or so of reports that term and expansion protection were coming between the two sides, it seems the deal is dead and Edler will hit the open market. Sportsnet's Rick Dhaliwal reports that it does not sound like the Canucks and Edler will get a deal done by July 1st. This does not entirely rule out a return to Vancouver, but it will be substantially harder to convince him to come back after he's tested the waters and likely found teams willing to give him the desired term and No-Movement Clause. This especially rings true today, as Erik Karlsson's extension leaves a thin defense market even weaker and D-needy teams will have little choice but to meet the demands of Edler and fellow top free agents like Jake Gardiner and Tyler Myers. It would not be surprise to now see Vancouver make a hard push for one of those two as well, as they seek an upgrade on the blue line but were not willing to give the 33-year-old Edler a long-term deal or risk losing young players to protect an aging veteran in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft.
It's been a roller coaster of reports on Kevin Hayes since the moment his negotiating rights were acquired by the Philadelphia Flyers from the Winnipeg Jets. The Flyers obviously became the favorite to sign the free agent center given their early access, but there have since been reports followed by other conflicting reports about how talks have been going between the two sides. Finally, trusted Flyers source Frank Seravalli of TSN has chimed in and he has only good news for Philly fans. Seravalli reports that the two sides have made good progress and that talks are trending toward a contract. He stops short of guaranteeing a deal gets done, but believes that it will. This would remove yet another major name from the free agent market, following Karlsson, Jeff Skinner, and Jordan Eberle. And like those three, reports of a deal being close have so far been proven true this off-season.
The sheer magnitude of Karlsson's new contract with the Sharks has surprised many and has reinforced the narrative that San Jose will have to lose other key free agents to re-sign the talented defenseman. While he wouldn't speak specifically about talks with those players, GM Doug Wilson did warn not to make assumptions when asked about Joe Pavelski, per The Athletic's Kevin Kurz. Wilson says that nothing has been ruled out, making a Pavelski return a possibility. He also spoke to the importance of getting Karlsson under contract "well before July 1st", specifically so that the team can plan around their new salary cap paradigm. It still remains a long-shot barring trades to remove salary from the current roster, but until Pavelski, a career Shark, puts pen to paper elsewhere, he remains a possibility for San Jose.
Boston defenseman Torey Krug will not be a free agent until next summer, but he has already proven that he is worth a significant raise in his next contract. The Bruins' power play magician is fifth among all NHL defensemen in regular season scoring over the past three years and second only to Erik Karlsson in playoff scoring. Karlsson's new extension, along with the contracts of players like John Carlson and Victor Hedman, raise the bar for what Krug might be looking for in his next deal. Even though he has some struggles defensively, it is fair to assume that his current $5.25MM cap hit will not cut it. This leaves the Bruins in a difficult spot, as they must first re-sign elite young defensemen Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo this summer. Those moves will leave Boston with little cap space this off-season and not much more the following year when Krug needs a new contract. Yet, speaking with the media today, GM Don Sweeney made it clear that his intent is not to trade the mobile defender, nor to let him leave after next season:
If somebody blew us away (with a trade offer for Krug), every player has to be looked at in that way. When you're an organization, you just have to, you're doing a disservice if you don't. But it would take a pretty unique opportunity for us to part with Torey. We think he's a big part of the fabric of our group. He's kind of that next wave of leadership that we talk about.

Boston Bruins Announce Laundry List Of Playoff Injuries
June 14, 2019 at 4:14 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 1 Comment
The Boston Bruins held their locker clean out and final media availability today, and many of the questions regarded the obvious injuries that plagued the whole roster. The Bruins, like many other teams the St. Louis Blues have faced, explained their long list of ailments but didn't use them as an excuse. Among the injuries were:
Zdeno Chara – Multiple fractures in jaw, recovery period is five to six weeks. Will have MRI on lower-body injury.
Kevan Miller – Fractured kneecap, hopeful for start of next season.
Brad Marchand – Abdominal, groin injuries, sprained hand.
Patrice Bergeron – Groin injury, no surgery required.
Noel Acciari – Broken sternum. Further testing to be done on right foot, currently in walking boot.
Jake DeBrusk – Concussion.
John Moore – Broken humerus, four to six month recovery.
While many of the injuries were obvious, some were not so apparent. DeBrusk for example was allowed back into the lineup despite telling Joe McDonald of The Athletic that he battled through the injury since the first round. While not all of the details will ever likely emerge on the diagnosis and treatment, it is concerning that he was allowed to play at all. Rick Nash battled through a concussion to play in the playoffs last season for Boston, and ended up deciding to retire in part because of those issues.
Still, few of the injuries appear as though they'll have a huge impact on the 2019-20 season. More important perhaps were the comments made from some of the other players on the roster, including Charlie McAvoy who told reporters he wants to stay in Boston "forever." McAvoy is a restricted free agent this summer and will need a new contract. David Backes meanwhile, who sat out much of the playoffs despite his hefty contract, knows that it may be the end for him in a Bruins uniform. The veteran forward said he's "not naive" in believing that the team isn't looking for a way to shed his salary. Backes has two years left on his contract that carries a $6MM cap hit.

Atlantic Notes: Moore, Miller, Senators' COO, Canadiens' Backup
May 7, 2019 at 9:20 pm CDT | by Zach Leach Leave a Comment
With the news that Charlie McAvoy will miss Game One of the Eastern Conference Final, the Boston Bruins know that they will need someone else to step up and fill both his spot in the lineup and his considerable minutes. While the latter responsibility will likely fall to increased roles for Brandon Carlo and Torey Krug, as well as captain Zdeno Chara of course, someone will have to come off the bench and be ready to contribute. Who exactly that will be remains a mystery, but the pool of potential options has increased. Speaking with the media today, Bruins GM Don Sweeney revealed that John Moore will be available on Thursday and that Kevan Miller has not been ruled out either. Moore was injured early in the Bruins' last series and did not return, while Miller has not played at all in the postseason while rehabbing a lower-body injury. Sweeney did not sound optimistic that Miller would be the choice for Game One, but did promise that the further the team plays into the postseason, the more likely it is that he will return to the lineup. Miller began the season as a top-six regular for Boston, as he has for several years now, but injuries cost him all but 39 regular season games. An especially injury-prone defense corps this season has helped the Bruins give the likes of Moore, Matt Grzelcyk, Steven Kampfer, and Connor Clifton all considerable play time, and head coach Bruce Cassidy has entrusted the youngsters Grzelcyk and Clifton with starting roles moving forward in the playoffs. If Miller is still unable to go on Thursday, the decision would thus come down to Moore versus Kampfer, with the latter providing a right-handed shot and more stable defense, but the former bringing more experience with the team and more puck-moving ability to help with McAvoy's absence. It will be an interesting decision for Cassidy and his staff and one that could play a major role in the Game One result.
Ottawa Senators' COO Nic Ruszkowski is leaving his post after just one year on the job. As The Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch writes, this is yet another shake-up to a front office that is still searching for a President of Hockey Operations, not to mention a head coach. Garrioch reports that Ruszkowski's departure has spurred the Senators to restructure their administrative structure, with several executives moving into new roles to take on some of Ruszkowski's duties. While the team claims that this restructuring will "strengthen our club", Ruszkowski's unexpected resignation is yet another stain on a difficult season for the Senators and only adds to the mythos of owner Eugene Melnyk being a difficult individual to work for. The team has a lot of work to do this summer on all fronts and hopefully can get their front office sorted out sooner rather than later.
The Montreal Canadiens may be paying Carey Price $10.5MM per year, but that doesn't mean they expect him to play in every game. Yet, Price started the second-most games in the league this season, making 66 appearances. The poor play of backup Antti Niemi forced head coach Claude Julien's hand in many cases and the team has already told Niemi, an unrestricted free agent, that he will not be back. Simply promoting Charlie Lindgren likely isn't a much better option either. Instead, Sportsnet's Eric Engels writes that the Canadiens will looks for experience and value on the free agent goalie market this summer. Engels warns that Montreal should not overpay for a backup, given the investment in Price to be "the guy" for ideally 60 games or so each year, but also feels they need a trusted veteran who could step in as the starter in case of injury. A cost-effective, proven veteran goalie is not always an easy thing to find, but Engels does throw out the likes of Cam Talbot, should he opt not to re-sign with the Philadelphia Flyers, Brian Elliott, Curtis McElhinney, Anders Nilsson, Keith Kinkaid, and Michael Hutchinson as top options. In all likelihood, it will be one of those names backing up Price come October.

Charlie McAvoy Suspended For Game One Of Eastern Conference Final
May 7, 2019 at 5:42 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 9 Comments
The decision has been handed down from the NHL Department of Player Safety, rather quickly in fact, on Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy. Less than 24 hours after defeating the Columbus Blue Jacket to advance to the Eastern Conference Final, the Bruins have learned that they will be without their top defender for Game One against the Carolina Hurricanes. McAvoy has been suspended for one game for a hit to the head of Columbus' Josh Anderson, the league announced.
Late in the second period of Monday night's deciding Game Six, McAvoy was called for a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head on Anderson. Columbus fans and players alike, and head coach John Tortorella most of all, were upset that McAvoy did not receive a greater penalty for the heavy hit, especially as Anderson struggled to get back to his feet and leave the ice. The referees ultimately decided that McAvoy's check was not worthy of a game misconduct, but clearly the Department of Player Safety disagrees, issuing an even greater penalty of a whole game suspension. In their breakdown of the play, the department explains their decision as such:
McAvoy comes across the front of (Anderson's) body and delivers a high, hard check that makes Anderson's head the main point of contact on a hit where such head contact was avoidable. This is an illegal check to the head… McAvoy's shoulder clearly makes direct and forceful contact with the head of Anderson… While hits from the side are not illegal, they are difficult to execute legally. In this case, while we accept McAvoy's argument that he is not intentionally attempting to hit Anderson in the head, he takes an angle of approach that cuts in front of Anderson's body, rather than through the near shoulder and core… McAvoy then elevates his shoulder up and into the head of Anderson, rather than staying low and aiming for Anderson's chest or far shoulder.
It is worth noting, as the league did, that there did not appear to be intent to injure on the play, but rather it was an ill-advised and dangerous hit that earned McAvoy his suspension. McAvoy and Anderson appeared to be on good terms in the handshake line at the end of the game, indicating that there was a mutual understanding that this was not a dirty play, but simply poorly executed. It also helped McAvoy's case that this was his first interaction with Player Safety, having never previously been suspended or fined.
A one-game suspension was the result that many expected and was likely the best-case scenario for the Bruins. Nevertheless, McAvoy's loss for even one game is major. The 21-year-old defenseman has been Boston's top blue liner all season, when healthy, and all postseason, along with fellow young defenseman Brandon Carlo. McAvoy is a key puck-mover for the Bruins and easily their most dependable possession defenseman in all three zones. He has logged major minutes in the playoffs skating on the team's top pair and second power play unit, contributing six points, 30 hits, and a +8 rating through 13 games and has had to pick up the slack of pair mate Zdeno Chara, who has struggled frequently this postseason. In replacing him for Game One, head coach Bruce Cassidy will have to get creative with his defensive pairs, likely replacing McAvoy's spot in the lineup with John Moore or Steven Kampfer and shuffling some combinations around. Expect the regular pairing of Carlo and Torey Krug to likely see top minutes in Game One on Thursday, as the Bruins try to fight through this adversity to take an early series lead on the Hurricanes.

Charlie McAvoy To Have Hearing With Department Of Player Safety
May 7, 2019 at 9:08 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 10 Comments
The Boston Bruins were triumphant last night and moved on to the Eastern Conference Finals, but they'll have to battle the Carolina Hurricanes a man down. Charlie McAvoy will have a disciplinary hearing to determine a suspension for his hit on Columbus Blue Jackets forward Josh Anderson last night. McAvoy was given a two minute minor penalty for an illegal check to the head, but is expected to receive supplementary discipline.
McAvoy has been a force for Boston in these playoffs, averaging nearly 25 minutes a night while often taking on the other team's best forwards. The 21-year old defenseman has added six points in 13 games, and has 30 hits including several of the devastating variety. In trying to lay another one of those big hits, he caught Anderson's chin forcefully which snapped the Blue Jackets forward's head around—the usual telling sign for the Department of Player Safety.
The league usually specifies if the hearing is of the in-person variety, meaning McAvoy is likely looking at a suspension of fewer than five games. He has never been suspended or fined in his career, which will have a positive impact on the decision.

The party is over for bikini model Izzy Alvarez. For six years she's made a good living by flaunting her God-given assets on runways and in front of cameras, but now as she approaches the big 3-0, the bodacious Latina is shocked to learn she's aged out of the profession that's kept her in mojitos, mani/pedis, and designer thongs. What's a girl with a taste for the finer things in life and no marketable skills to do? Getting a regular job is too boring to even consider, so Izzy decides to follow in the footsteps of her newly-engaged frenemy and become a trophy wife. Although she's desperate and too broke to get a chipped nail fixed, Izzy still has standards for her future husband, which means no uggos, no vertically-challenged guys, and no geezers who need to pop a blue pill to perform in the bedroom. Enlisting the aid of her computer whiz nephew and her closest pals, Izzy goes on the prowl for a rich, marriage-minded man, encountering likely candidates in a lot of unlikely places. The high life she's dreamed of may be within reach when Izzy meets a charming, successful man who's not only hotter than a steamy summer night in Miami, but ready to settle down. Now all Izzy has to do is make sure her loud, crazy Cuban family doesn't scare off el hombre perfecto—oh, yeah, and squelch those pesky, romantic feelings she keeps having for the sweet, cash-strapped guy she's known forever. Will Izzy's hunger for money win out, or will her fiery heart demand to be heard?
Witty dialogue, descriptive writing, and characters of so full of life make Izzy As Is a much-needed fun read. With her sassy style and attitude, snide comments, and unpredictable behavior, Izzy will have you on the floor laughing and saying Ay Dios mio! An entertaining journey as the shallow and materialistic Izzy sets out to find a rich, handsome man that will put a ring on her finger and keep her in the posh lifestyle she's grown accustom to. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good chick-lit.

Many parents are concerned that their children do not consume the proper foods they need to stay strong and healthy. The truth is children can be picky eaters. Some children will go through stages where they will refuse to eat anything other than a favourite food, while other children will try new foods, but do not take to them.
Children's vitamins are packaged in such a way that they are attractive to children. Most children's vitamins come in colourful and fun shapes. Many manufacturers of children's vitamins are packaging their vitamins in lollipop, gum ball and gummy bear varieties. Because these vitamins resemble candy, it is important that you keep them away from a child's reach and that you monitor their intake. If you find your child has taken extra vitamins, you should consult their paediatrician or your local poison control centre.
There are instances when a paediatrician will prescribe vitamins for a child. If a child has a vitamin deficiency, does not have access to fluoridated water, or has anaemia or other illness or disease, vitamin supplements may be prescribed for a child. However, in general, many paediatricians believe that children do not need vitamin supplements if they are being fed properly. They feel that children can receive all the vitamins and minerals they need if they eat according to the Food Pyramid. Consult with your child's paediatrician before starting them on a vitamin.
Vitamins are supplements and not replacements. Children's vitamin supplements should never be looked upon as a replacement for healthy eating. Encourage your child to eat the foods they need and do things to make nutrition fun and flavourful for them. For instance, letting children add grated cheese to their vegetables will make some children more interested in eating them. Allowing a child to drink calcium fortified orange juice over milk works well for a child who does not like milk. Let your child participate in making a vegetable pizza or let them pick out fruit at a market and place it in their own special area at home. All of these tips can go a long way in helping a picky eaters overcome their fears so they consume the vitamins they need.
Kids are eager learners and they learn from examples. You can't expect your kids to show interest in eating vegetables and fruits without eating them yourself. You have to make a transition to healthier eating habits to motivate your kids to eat fruits and vegetables. Children emulate what they see around them, so you have to set the right example now to help them grow into strong and healthy individuals.
One of the best ways to generate interest among kids towards vegetables and fruits is to get them involved in planning meals and cooking the food. When they are a part of the process they have a stronger tendency toward eating what they have helped to prepare. You can take them with you when buying vegetables and fruits and let them choose what they love. You can also ask for their suggestions when planning a meal and also take their help in the cooking process. This will make them feel good about the contribution they made in preparing the meal which again makes it a lot easier to get them to eat vegetables and fruits.
Cook some squash, mash it up and then freeze in ice cube trays. The next time you make a stew, soup or sauce, throw a few of the 'ice cubes' in while cooking. They will add nutrients to the meal and no one will ever know they're in the food.
Anyhow, it is obvious that the allergens get absorbed and then they pass through the bloodstream. As soon as they reach the skin, they start inducing eczema or hives. Now when they come across the airways, they take the form of asthma. They travel around and then get into the blood vessels which may trigger weakness, light-headedness, and also anaphylaxis or the abrupt drop in the blood pressure.
Infants and children can feel the worst during food allergies especially that their immune systems are not yet that stable. They may feel the itchiness and they may sneeze or wheeze. Their temperaments and behaviour are quite a challenge too.
It is therefore important to have them checked out by the paediatricians so that they will be administered with the right kind of treatment and their diet be changed.
Nearly every child comes home from school to an empty house, clamouring for a quick, appetizing snack only to settle for junk food. But instead of reaching for the sweets during those cool after-school days or hot summer nights, kids can put on the chef's hat and prepare their own easy, tasty snacks that are just as satisfying.
Kids often shy away from preparing anything other than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because it's too difficult and time-consuming. But there is a wide variety of products available at the grocery store, like Tyson® refrigerated, fully-cooked chicken and steak strips, which simplify the snack- and meal-making process for kids. The strips go from package to plate in minutes-making it easy to prepare kid-favourite snacks and meals such as pizza, tacos and pasta. These well-balanced, do-it-yourself options are high in protein and have zero grams trans-fat, so parents can feel good about providing kids with a wholesome alternative to help power them through their active days.
With snack and meal ideas like these, children can come home and reach for something other than the usual suspects-instead preparing a delicious snack on their own. Who knows? Maybe they'll even graduate to making family dinners.
Layer chips, cheese and chicken strips on a large, microwave-safe plate.
Microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds or until cheese melts.
Heat chicken strips and taco shells according to package directions.
Fill shells with meat, cheese and lettuce.

Africa roundup: 11 former winners in CAF Champions League draw
by SphiweN
Egyptian clubs Al Ahly and Zamalek, who contest the 2020 CAF Champions League final on November 27, are among 11 former title-holders who have qualified for the next edition.
The draws for the preliminary and last-32 rounds of the elite African club competition and the second-tier CAF Confederation Cup will be made in Cairo Monday.
Of the clubs who reached the Champions League quarter-finals this season, only Tunisian outfit Etoile Sahel failed to make it again with Esperance and CS Sfaxien representing the nation.
Apart from the 11 former winners, six clubs have won other CAF competitions will be contenders, including Gor Mahia of Kenya and Kaizer Chiefs of South Africa.
There are four former African champions among the Confederation Cup entrants — Entente Setif and JS Kabylie of Algeria, Orlando Pirates of South Africa and Etoile Sahel.
Here, AFP Sport rounds up football news from Africa.
Bloemfontein Celtic may be cash strapped, lack stars and have an inexperienced coach in Malawian John Maduka, but it has not stopped them reaching a second successive South African knockout competition final.
The club from the central city defeated title-holders SuperSport United 1-0 in the second leg of an MTN 8 semi-final to win 2-1 on aggregate and will face Orlando Pirates or Kaizer Chiefs for the trophy.
Victor Letsoalo scored for the 2019/2020 FA Cup runners-up on 50 minutes by darting on to a quickly taken free-kick and poking the ball past goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
Joash Onyango was the villain and the hero for Tanzanian Premier League defending champions Simba as they came from behind to draw 1-1 with fierce rivals Young Africans in Dar es Salaam.
The Kenyan conceded a penalty which Ghanaian Michael Sarpong converted in the first half for Yanga, but he atoned by equalising five minutes from time.
Ice cream company club Azam top the table with 25 points after 10 rounds, Young Africans have 24 and Simba 20.
Defending Zambian Premier League champions Nkana won for the first time this season at the third attempt with an Idris Mbombo goal delivering a 1-0 away win over Kabwe.
The record 13-time champions lost their first match and drew the second, leaving them ninth in the 18-club championship with four points, three less than pacesetters Forest Rangers.
Rangers surrendered a 100 percent record when held 1-1 at home by Lusaka Dynamos, but are top of the table on goal difference from Red Arrows.
Expensively assembled Egyptian club Pyramids say they will name a new coach soon after ditching Croat Ante Cacic for failing to meet domestic and African targets.
The Cairo club finished third behind traditional giants Ahly and Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League and missed out on qualification for the CAF Champions League.
Pyramids fell at the final hurdle in their maiden CAF Confederation Cup campaign, losing 1-0 to Renaissance Berkane of Morocco in the single-match final in Rabat.
Liberia First Division champions LPRC Oilers made a winning start to the season by edging BEA Mountain 1-0 thanks to a goal from debutant Terry Sackor.
The match-winner has joined the Monrovia oil company club after a spell with three-time African champions Hafia in Guinea.
Mighty Barrolle and now lower-division club Invincible Eleven share the record for Liberian league titles with 13 each.
Surprise frontrunners Maniema Union stayed three points ahead of V Club after nine rounds of the Democratic Republic of Congo Ligue 1 by drawing 2-2 at Don Bosco.
Maniema are based in central mining city Kindu and have never won a competition dominated by major rivals V Club from Kinshasa and five-time African champions TP Mazembe from Lubumbashi.
Sixth-place Mazembe, who have twice won back-to-back CAF Champions League (formerly African Cup of Champions Clubs) titles, trail Maniema by seven points but have matches in hand.
A ceasefire reached last month between the United Nations-recognised government and a rival administration has raised hopes that the Libyan Premier League can kick off soon.
There has been little football in the oil-rich north African nation since the 2011 overthrow of dictator Moamer Kadhafi, with national teams and clubs forced to fulfil international fixtures in other countries.
Al Ahly Tripoli reached the 1984 African Cup Winners Cup final, but Kadhafi barred them from playing Cairo club Al Ahly because of strained political relations with Egypt.

Money can't buy open-source love... only code can
Linus Torvalds started with nothing
Matt Asay Fri 27 Jul 2012 // 13:02 UTC
Open ... and Shut Money can't buy you happiness, but Meteor, a web-apps startup focused on enterprise app development, seems to think it can buy it an open-source community.
Instead of the standard startup funding announcement, proclaiming that the company will use its funding for product development, marketing and so on, Meteor says it "will use the money to build the open source community around its offerings."
Is that so? Who knew all you needed for an open-source community was $11.2m in venture funding?
This may be a bit harsh. After all, Meteor's board is filled with people who understand that money can't buy a community. David Skok invested in and helped to build JBoss's commercial business. Rod Johnson built up a massive, two-million strong Spring community. Peter Levine also has an open-source pedigree, having run XenSource until its acquisition by Citrix.
But guess what? In exactly zero of those cases did venture money buy a community. The opposite, in fact, happened.
JBoss had tens of thousands of monthly downloads and a broad community well before Skok's Matrix Partners invested in it. It was the community, in fact, that attracted him to JBoss. Ditto for Johnson's SpringSource, which funded itself for years with consulting work while it sowed a dedicated Spring community.
Many open-source startups raised money in the heady days of 2004 through 2009 on the promise of leveraging existing communities or building new communities around their open-source projects. In the latter case, virtually all failed to actually create community, because open-source community really isn't a matter of money.
Linus Torvalds successfully marshalled one of the most impressive open-source communities without raising a penny of venture capital. The same holds true for Drupal, Apache HTTP Server, and every other brand name open-source project. Why?
Because code, not cash, is the currency of open source, something Chris DiBona, Google's director of open source, pointed out recently with reference to Torvalds. And great code, it turns out, really doesn't follow great money.
Maybe the Meteor folks understand this. When they talk about "building open-source community," they say it means "writing software, hiring engineers to help us do that faster and working with developers who are using it." These are all essential elements of developing a vibrant open-source community.
But they're also not dependent on raising venture money, as JBoss and others have shown. In fact, the venture money has always tended to follow community (Acquia with Drupal, JBoss/JBoss, SpringSource with Spring, Red Hat with Linux, Cloudera with Hadoop, 10gen with MongoDB), not lead it.
The Meteor team has suggested that its $11.2m hoard will allow it to focus on development, rather than making money, and that's great. When it does make money, it sounds like it's pulling out Skok's JBoss playbook and focusing on the operations team. After all, Meteor's GitHub activity is currently solid but by no means exceptional compared to its unfunded peers like Ember.js.
Maybe money will change this.
Or, as some suggest, money could corrupt the very things that serve to foster a vibrant open-source community. I personally don't think money will corrupt Meteor's development efforts, but I'm also dubious that it will help. Meteor is in a very crowded space, one in which venture cash is not a big differentiator. If it was, then HTML-5-tools vendor Sencha would have run away with the market long ago, having raised $29m in the past three years.
What differentiates, ironically, is community, and cash simply can't buy that. ®

He was formerly SVP of biz dev at HTML5 startup Strobe and chief operating officer of Ubuntu commercial operation Canonical. With more than a decade spent in open source, Asay served as Alfresco's general manager for the Americas and vice president of business development, and he helped put Novell on its open source track. Asay is an emeritus board member of the Open Source Initiative (OSI). His column, Open...and Shut, appears three times a week on The Register.

Wife of U.S. Diplomat Who Killed U.K. Teen in Accidental Wrong-Way Crash Gets Diplomatic Immunity
An American diplomat's wife will not face prosecution in the U.K. for a fatal wrong-way crash with a 19-year-old motorcyclist more than a year ago, the country's high court determined Tuesday.
Anne Sacoolas, 43, had admitted she was accidentally driving on the wrong side of the road when she struck Harry Dunn on Aug. 27, 2019, near an Air Force base utilized by the United States military.
Sacoolas returned to the U.S. a few weeks after the deadly crash, despite telling U.K. authorities she was not planning to leave the country.
She was eventually charged with causing death by dangerous driving, but confirmed she wouldn't return to face court proceedings.
While the U.K. requested Sacoolas be extradited, the U.S. rejected the request.
Dunn's parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, even traveled to Washington, D.C., meeting with President Donald Trump and asking that he intervene so that they could seek justice for their son. The president did not get involved.

He did, however, try to arrange a meeting at the White House between the grieving parents and the woman whose actions killed their son — a move that stunned them.
The meeting did not occur.
"To be thrown into a room together with no prior warning, that's not good for [Sacoolas'] mental health, and it's certainly not good for ours," Dunn's mother told CBS This Morning.
Dunn's parents took their case to court, arguing in legal filings that the U.K. government erroneously decided Sacoolas was protected by diplomatic immunity. They further alleged British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab kowtowed to the U.S. government and that the U.K. Foreign Office misled investigators about their discussions with Sacoolas.
But on Tuesday, the court ruled against the late teen's parents.
"Our conclusion is that Mrs Sacoolas enjoyed immunity from U.K. criminal jurisdiction at the time of Harry's death," reads the judges' decision. "We do not come to this conclusion with any enthusiasm for the result, but it is compelled by the operation of the Vienna convention on diplomatic relations."
This summer, the U.S. and the U.K. revised their diplomatic immunity rules, making it more difficult for officials' family members to evade criminal prosecution.

Sacoolas was driving on the wrong side of the road when the crash occurred at around 8:30 p.m. in Northamptonshire. Her black Volvo XC90 struck Dunn's Kawasaki motorcycle.
Dunn was rushed to the hospital, where he died moments later.
Speaking to the Guardian afterwards, Charlotte Charles said she was "obviously" disappointed with the court's ruling.
"The Government and Mrs. Sacoolas need to understand that this court ruling is just a blip along the way," she said outside the court. "I promised my boy I would get him justice and that is just what we are going to do. No one is going to stand in our way."
PEOPLE has never been able to get Sacoolas to comment on the crash.

AFP Relaxnews
'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' topped US box office this weekend. (AFP Relaxnews pic)
"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" snared North American viewers in its web this weekend, earning US$35.4 million (RM148 million) in ticket sales, industry tracker Exhibitor Relations estimated Sunday.
Sony's action-packed animation sees Peter Parker make way for Miles Morales as Spider-Man – a black, Latino character new to theatre-goers, but not comic book enthusiasts.
The Spider-Man of his dimension, Morales, voiced by Shameik Moore, joins forces with Spideys from parallel realities to stop a threat menacing all of them.
In at second was Warner Bros' crime film "The Mule," which earned US$17.2 million. Clint Eastwood both directed and took the lead as a destitute 90-year-old who turns to transporting cocaine through Illinois for a Mexican drug cartel.
"Dr. Seuss' The Grinch" dropped one place to third, earning US$11.6 million over the weekend. Benedict Cumberbatch voices the grouchy title character as he plots to steal Christmas.
Fourth place went to "Ralph Breaks the Internet," which took in US$9.6 million after spending three weeks at the top of the box office. The animated film, a sequel to 2012's "Wreck It Ralph," has sold US$154 million in domestic tickets since it opened.
In at fifth was Universal's newly-released "Mortal Engines," whose ticket sales stalled at US$7.5 million.
The post-apocalyptic sci-fi sees Hera Hilmar star as the only person who can stop the city of London – now a colossal wheeled predator – from chomping up all in its path.

El primer Festival de Wartburg (Wartburgfest) se celebró el 18 de octubre de 1817 en el Castillo de Wartburg, cerca de Eisenach (Turingia), donde Martín Lutero tradujo la Biblia. El lugar es un símbolo del nacionalismo alemán.

Después de la guerra alemana de liberación contra Francia, mucha gente se encontraba resentida por la destrucción de los sueños de la unidad alemana tras el Congreso de Viena. Las reformas democráticas se estancaron, y los gobiernos tomaron medidas enérgicas contra la libertad de prensa y el derecho de asociación.

En 1815, los estudiantes de Universidad de Jena fundaron la organización Burschenschaft, la primera organización estudiantil liberal-nacional que propugnaba la unidad alemana. Muchos de ellos habían participado como soldados voluntarios en los guerras contra Napoleón, por ejemplo, en el Lützowches Freikorps, cuya combinación de colores negro-rojo-oro se adoptó como bandera de Alemania. Los estudiantes alemanes apoyaron un Estado nacional y una constitución liberal y las llamadas fuerzas "reaccionarias" fueron condenadas.

Con motivo del tricentenario de la elaboración de Martín Lutero de sus tesis contra la iglesia católica y el cuarto aniversario de la sangrienta Batalla de las Naciones en Leipzig, los grupos de estudiantes organizaron un festival en el castillo de Wartburg. Este castillo había sido refugio de Martín Lutero. En la medida en que había traducido la Biblia ahí y por lo tanto establecer un estándar para el idioma alemán, se convirtió en un símbolo del nacionalismo alemán.

Un evento clave fue una quema de libros de obras literarias reaccionarias, y los símbolos de Napoleón. Este acto fue utilizado en 1933 como justificación para las quemas de libros nazis. Se quemaron también libros de August von Kotzebue, quien fue brutalmente asesinado, el 10 de mayo de 1819, por Karl Ludwig Sand, a quin le tocó en suerte hacerlo en una de las sesiones de la Burschenschaft y que confesó haber ejecutado el crimen conforme a las determinaciones de la secta.

El evento en sí también fue utilizado como justificación para una mayor represión de las fuerzas liberales, tales como los Decretos de karlsbad de 1819.

En 1832, el Festival de Hambach se llevó a cabo de manera similar. Un segundo festival en el castillo de Wartburg tuvo lugar durante la revolución de 1848 en los estados alemanes.

Ocean Warrior
Documentary 1993 1 hr 14 min
"They have thrown four bombs at this vessel. Do you understand? Four bombs… Hurry up!' A number of frantic international reporters on board the Sea Shepherd desperately call on the US authorities to take action before it's too late. For Paul Watson it's retaliation for the sinking of two Norwegian whaling ships the year before. "I understand you are going to fire on our ship", he says calmly amid the chaos. After mines are thrown and cannons fired, a gigantic steel vessel rams straight into its bow in the hope of finally sinking his ship. UN resolutions clearly state that if national agencies do not enforce a regulation set forth then individuals or groups are invited to do so. "We are vigilantes but that's only because the US government, the Canadian government don't seem to have the courage to go out there and uphold these treaties and laws themselves", he insists. Relying on public relations and global scrutiny, Paul Watson and his eclectic international crew - 'ranging from a teenage dropout to a marine biologist' – continue a lifelong mission to do what he believes is the neglected job of the world's navies. "The time for talk is over".

It's been raining on and off all week. Not wee little storms but huge loud thunderstorms.
I hope my garden appreciates it!
As you can see (unless you are reading via RSS then I highly suggest you visit the main site!) I've redesigned a bit. Would love your thoughts and if there is anything YOU want to see here!
Here are some photos from the other morning of bits and pieces of the garden and yard after it rained.
LOL thank you! I only think that if I win a Words w/Friends game which doesn't happen often LOL!
Just Stumbled this post. Love the photos.
Yay thanks for the stumble!
Beautiful photos! I've enjoyed the thunderstorms lately. Love the layout design! My only suggestion on that is that the name, email, etc. fields are kinda quirky in the sense that it only shows one letter…so you can't really verify what you're typing.
I fixed the input issue! It's like only firefox will display it properly where as in IE or Chrome the input box is HUGE. Ugh drives me crazy lol.
I love your photos, these are beautiful!! I LOVE your new layout, super nice!!!
i adore water droplet photos- what lens are you using for these? are you using a tripod? i can't seem to get mine quite as nice.
Same here!! I used my Sigma 105mm macro lens and I did NOT use a tripod, these were all hand-held, early morning light, I did have the ISO cranked up a bit though.
Ah! that makes sense. My telephoto lens has a macro setting but I haven't had much success with it so far. Gotta keep practicing.
Yep I have a Tamron 70-300 that has a macro setting but generally it's not a true macro. I feel that my 50mm does a WAY better job at "macro" like shots if I don't have my Sigma lens around.
Those water droplets photos are insanely amazing! I could look at them all day.
Yay thank you!! I should probably make prints eventually, maybe hang them in the kitchen lol.
I'm sure the plants are soaking it up. Never know when there will be a surprise dry spell so they're probably storing it too :D On the other hand, my crawling flowers are trying to strangle one another to grow upwards (winding around one another to have the strength to move upward). Really need to get them in the ground. Hopefully this weekend.
It looks like one of the basil plants just couldn't handle the storms and all the water, it looks dead ugh. I still have 3 others planted PLUS a jar of basil seedlings right now but still!!
OH awesome! Our yard is mostly clover and confederate violets. I would LOVE to find a 4-leaf clover one of these days!
Gorgeous. I love the way you captured the water droplets on the clovers. Fantastic. Love your new layout too.
Yay thank you! It was REALLY cold that morning too so I was pleased to see my plants survived the night lol.
Of course I love the layout, AND the new comment "correspondence," is beautiful! I just read "The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie," and your new layout is so reminiscent of some of the themes in that book that it was a little spooky to see it! I love your beautiful little strawberries! They're coming along well, aren't they? The clover in the topmost photo looks like a perfect heart! You eye never ceases to amaze me! You've got mad skillz, Sarah!
Oh what is that book about? I wonder how long it will take for the berries to ripen? It seems like they've been white forever!
Aww thank you SO SO SOOO much!
Well, your garden seems to be a week ahead of mine, and my strawberries are usually ready late-June, so I'd say first week of June or second for yours.
The book is a mystery, featuring 11 year old sleuth Flavia De Luce. She lives in a manor home in England in 1950, and she has her very own chemistry lab which she uses to a)concoct poison ivy lip sticks to torture her big sister, and b) to solve murders. It is NOT a childrens book, though. The sequel is called "The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag." I highly recommend reading them :).
I am so excited about the strawberries it's ridiculous lol.
I will have to see if our local library has those books available! I desperately need new reading material!
Great photos. I really like the first one with its heart-shaped leaves!
You have a garden and a new theme? Wow. I've sure missed a lot lol.
The theme is beautiful as always. I specially like the comment text area. Looks rather nifty.
Thank you SO much! What direction does your balcony face? How much sun does it get (hours)? You can do an AWESOME garden in pots/window boxes. Fruit like berries, tomatoes, herbs, anything really!!
Oh it totally gets a lot of sun. Really? Tomatoes? Berries too? I didn't think a box would hold anything more than some simple herbs. That's good to know. Looks like I'll be making a trip to the library. Time to see if this veg head has a green thumb too.
Oh yes! Here is a great site, You Grow Girl. Has forums and such. She also came out with two books so I suggest checking out the local library or bookstore for those! You can grow anything in a container!
Thank you so much! I used a high ISO so that I could use a faster shutter speed so they wouldn't be too blurry.
BEAUTIFUL Pics (and I'm a photog!) Love the layout too, did you design it yourself?
PS. Found you via SITS, and I have the same issue of some "little shadows" that visit me all over the net too.
Thank you Lana! Yep I did the whole theme myself including coding! I've never used a pre-made theme or design on OSN ever!
Oh yes, it's frustrating isn't it? You don't want to acknowledge them and give them more "power" yet it's SO bothersome at times that you can't help it!
Wonderful! Do you do this for other people too? I'm not in love with my "theme" atm (I have none) and can't find a theme out there that I like.
Yep! I created a Price List!
