lisa armstrong and ant mcpartlin

Ant McPartlin is granted a quickie divorce from wife Lisa Armstrong due to his 'unreasonable conduct'

The former couple have officially ended their 11-year-old marriage

Sharnaz Shahid

Ant McPartlin and his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong have ended their 11-year marriage in a "quickie" court hearing, which lasted 30 seconds at the Central Family Court on Tuesday morning. The pair confirmed their split in January after months of speculation; they had been together for 23 years and married in 2006. The TV presenter has since found love with his new girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett, who was the former couple's PA. According to MailOnline, the grounds of divorce are based on "unreasonable conduct" by Ant, who is said to have committed adultery while he was still married.

Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong have ended their 11-year marriage

Ant was still legally married to Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist Lisa when he embarked on his new relationship. Friends and fans rushed to Twitter to send comforting messages to Lisa, with one sharing a picture of the MUA's dog. "@lisaAmakeup amazing woman, this little fella has your back. Stay strong. Good things come to kind people," the tweet read.

MORE: A look back at Ant and Lisa's love story

Ant, 42, best known as one half of TV duo Ant and Dec, confirmed the couple's split in January. At the time, his representative said: "Ant is very sad to announce that, after 11 years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin. Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statement will be made." It was also estimated that the former couple's divorce settlement could cost around £31million – half of Ant's £62million fortune – making it one of the largest sums paid out by a UK celebrity.

Meanwhile, Lisa has worked as chief makeup and hair designer on Strictly for 11 years. In 2014, she received the prestigious CRAFT BAFTA for her team and she has also won the RTS Award, recognising her high achievement in the television community. After her split from the TV star, Ant was arrested for drink-driving in March. The following month, he pleaded guilty and was ordered to pay £85,000 along with being sentenced to a 20-month driving ban.

Streaming Media and Cord Cutting

Have you ever watched a YouTube video on your computer or mobile device?

If so, you've already streamed video content. Many devices in your home can play content from many streaming services like YouTube TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and more.

You can watch video on your computer, mobile devices or televisions.

Open a web browser and go to the streaming service's website to view or stream content. In some cases, you have to subscribe to these services. More on that later.

Most of us prefer to watch movies, TV shows, and videos on our televisions rather than our computers. To stream to a TV you need some type of signal processing. Smart televisions are already capable of streaming. Some even have Netflix buttons on their remotes. Other televisions need a separate Streaming Device to receive Wi-Fi or ethernet signals, then convert them into watchable TV.

Among the many streaming boxes and devices available, here are the most popular:

Amazon Fire TV
Amazon Fire TV
Apple TV
Apple TV
Google Chromecast
Google Chromecast

Why Is It Called Streaming?

There is a lot of data involved in streaming, so instead of just downloading the media to your device, it's normally watched as it comes over the internet, hence streaming. Your inability or limited ability to download and store content facilitates the industry's ability to rent and sell streaming content as well.

Watch on tablet, smartphone, computer or TV.

How Does My TV Connect to A Streaming Device?

Any streaming device you buy will have instructions on how to connect and set it up. Almost universally these boxes connect to a TV using an HDMI connector. HDMI connections and cables are the industry standard for video and streaming.

Since 2009 most TVs have at least one HDMI port. Newer models can have several. If your TV doesn't have one, you should consider a new TV. Today's flat screen televisions are greatly improved with higher picture definitions and lots of new features.

What Is A Streaming Device? Which One Should I Buy?

A streaming device is a small box or stick that connects to your TV. It receives a Wi-Fi or cable signal from your home network and converts that signal into a format your TV can display. The streaming device may come with a remote control and allow you to select different streaming services, like Amazon Prime, YoutubeTV, Netflix and Hulu.

There are a large number of choices for streaming devices. Most are inexpensive, ranging from about $30 to above $100. People often have two or more devices. Your choice of device will define what streaming services you can receive, what quality of picture you can see (e.g. standard definition, high definition, ultra hi-def or 4K), and how the user interface works. The best way to make a choice is to review the different items available at the various websites that explain them.

Amazon Fire TV
Amazon Fire TV
Apple TV
Apple TV
Google Chromecast
Google Chromecast

Amazon Fire, Roku and Apple TV all offer many channels, convenient remote controls and quick response times. While major channels and services, like YouTube TV, Netflix and Hulu, are found on all devices, there will be differences. Historically, Roku offers the most extensive line-up, however, Amazon and Apple are catching up. Newer models work faster, have better remote controls and can feature more content like games and channels.

The following links review the major streaming devices:

Smart TV

TVAnother option is to buy a Smart TV. This is a television with streaming built in. Top TV brands like Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony, Toshiba and Vizio make Smart TVs. You can even find brands touting Roku, Chrome, Amazon Fire and AppleTV inside, or featuring their own streaming system. The convenience here is having one remote control for both regular TV and streaming. The downside is that the operating speed and features found in streaming hardware is improving faster than TV screen technology. In a couple of years, you may find yourself buying a new streaming box or stick, and foregoing the smart features of your television.

What's a Streaming Service?

You can think of a streaming service like a website that plays videos. Many have subscription fees, and some specialize in different types of content. Some streaming services are even developing their own creative content, like Netflix and Amazon. There's a wide variety with different types of content and different focuses.

Streaming Services with Content Libraries

NetflixOne of the oldest and largest streaming services, Netflix is well known for an extensive library of popular TV and movies, and for creating their own award-winning content. Netflix offers multiple levels of streaming quality, but not all content is available in HD or UHD. Currently, Netflix typically offers a free trial with multiple service plans available. Check out the Netflix website for more details.

Amazon Prime Video Amazon Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial, then it is free for Amazon Prime members or you can subscribe for a monthly rate. There is a large library of movies, TV shows, and original content. Many of these shows are free for members, but other shows and movies are for rent. Typically recent movies and TV seasons rent for five or six dollars. Check out the Amazon Prime Video website for more details.

Acorn TVAcorn TV is primarily focused on British content in movies and TV shows, at a low monthly rate. Check out Acorn TV for more details.

Streaming Services with Packages of Content Similar to Cable TV

YouTube TVYouTube TV is the amongst the newest, streaming service available, developed by Google and on the YouTube platform. This service is $40 per month and is available in most US metro cities.

This is more like a cable TV service as it has your local station channels plus on-demand movies from the cable channels. YoutubeTV also includes a cloud DVR so you can select the content you want automatically recorded to view later which is stored and available to you whenever you want to watch. A single account allows for 6 different users to log in and watch TV shows or movies that have been broadcast on almost every single platform. Further, they provide an unlimited DVR cloud storage, meaning you can select the content you want automatically recorded to view later which is made available to you whenever you choose to watch, from any device that can use the YouTubeTV app or a web browser (i.e. almost everything). Check out the YouTube TV for more details on content options and pricing.

HuluHulu offers two types of streaming services. There is the standard streaming service offering libraries of content of both movies and TV shows. The second option offers the same streaming as their base service but also includes Live TV streaming content. Check out the Hulu website for more details.

AT&T TV NOWAT&T TV NOW plans offer cable-like packages with your local TV station channels. No Satellite is needed, there is no annual contract and includes a service called "True Cloud DVR" for recording television content when you are away. Depending on the package you select, determines the networks channels that you have access too. Check out the AT&T TV NOW website for more details.

Sling TVSling TV offers a monthly service of cable-like packages of content. Networks include Food Network, TNT, AMC, CNN, etc. There are two main channel packages of 30+ channels with additional 3-5 themed channel packs, like a sports pack or movie channel pack, available for a small additional charge. Check out Sling TV for more details.

PhiloPhilo offers affordable streaming service with live and on-demand content for a low-priced package. This streaming service offers 58 channels that include AMC, Animal Planet, BBC America, Bet, Cooking Channel, Comedy Central, Discovery Channel, Food Network, HGTV, SCI and Travel Channel. Check out the Philo website for more details.

Streaming Services with a Specific Channel Content

Disney+Disney+ offers the ultimate affordable streaming for all Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, including exclusive originals.  All can be viewed ad free and for low monthly price or choose to bundle with other streaming providers. Check out the Disney+ website for more details.

HBO NowHBO Now is strictly for HBO content. From their better-known Game of Thrones and Westworld, as well as their many movies. It is a monthly service that you can cancel at any time. It's available via a web browser, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and Roku. Check out HBO Now for more details.

Apple TV+Apple TV+ is an extension from the Apple TV app. If you already have the Apple TV app then you have access to Apple TV+ as well. With this service you will be able to watch all original content, which currently does not include any bundling option. This service is available for a low monthly price or free when you purchase a new Apple product. Check out Apple TV+ for more details.

PBSPBS offers a free streaming service that offers most PBS shows with a lot of children's content. Check out PBS for more details.

CBS All AccessCBS All Access plans start at a low monthly rate with commercials, or you can upgrade to a higher cost tier to view content without commercials. CBS All Access allows for the viewing of live CBS affiliate content. The service includes original content only available online, CBS network shows and sports, including up to 10,000 episodes of television shows past and present. Check out CBS All Access for more details.

There are many other channel/network specific streaming services, but many (like ABC) are not available in all markets, or are announced and not yet available.

Streaming Services with User Contributed Content

YouTubeThe vast majority of the content created on YouTube is typically by individual people. Larger, more successful channels may have companies behind them to help improve production values. It’s being increasingly adopted by mainstream media as a method to distribute their own work or trailers for their work.

The service is free, but does offer a few ways where you can support your favorite creators directly.

Further, topics for the content are as varied as there are people creating it. From cartoons, to instructional videos on how to make them. From carpentry to makeup, there is a video/topic here for anyone and everyone. This is not the same service as YouTube TV.

Twitch TVTwitch is primarily focused around watching personalities play computer games. It has recently expanded into areas where you can watch people create artwork or crafts. The service is free, but users do have an option to subscribe to their favorite creators for a fee. This is still a very new and growing market.

Streaming on the Go

A streaming alternative for people who want to watch their home TV programs, like local sports teams, no matter where they are is Slingbox. It is a TV set-top box you keep in your home. This device encodes your TV signal and transmits it, privately and securely, across the internet. You can watch from wherever you have internet access, like a hotel room or coffee shop.

Outdoor Research Bitterblaze Gloves

Outdoor Research Bitterblaze Gloves
  • Color: Black/Tomato
Please select options

Ice climbing is a delicate, precision-driven sport, and the gear that goes along with it needs to be built in the same way. That's exactly how we developed the new BitterBlaze Gloves, designed to deliver the dexterity, durability, and warmth that ice and mixed climbers demand.

This groundbreaking glove pair uses the waterproof trustworthiness of GORE-TEX, the resilience of Pittards Oiltac goat leather, and the revolutionary warmth of PrimaLoft Aerogel insulation used in NASA space travel. This compression-resistant thermal barrier is patterned over the palm and fingers of each glove, with multiple panels that allow retention of grip and freedom of movement.

Each customized Aerogel insert reduces heat loss from freezing cold elements, like ice, rock, tools, and rope, allowing you total focus on the task at hand. Detailed down to the very last seam, the BitterBlaze Gloves also include a carabiner loop for easy storage, pull-on loop for no-fuss application, an elasticized wrist for further range of motion, and hook and loop wrist closures to trap in heat and fasten gloves securely. Go on, get out there, and kick some ice with the BitterBlaze Gloves on hand.

Numerous articles and publications have been written about hurricane preparedness, especially after what we faced last year with Hurricane Matthew. They have included some excellent suggestions for the general public.

Now, let’s concentrate on specific information for seniors and those who are disabled.

Much of this material is from an excellent pamphlet that is available from the Bluffton Police Department. They can be contacted at 843-706-4550 or

Getting ready for a disaster like a hurricane requires planning in advance. Seniors and disabled adults can do this by themselves or with the help of their loved ones and caregivers.

In addition to having fresh water, nonperishable food, a first aid kit, enough clothing for a week, and other standard supplies available, you might need to prepare the following:

Wheelchairs: Make sure they are in working order, even if not typically used. If they usually use a motorized wheelchair, have a manual wheelchair in reserve.

Durable medical equipment: Plan to take your oxygen, walker and other necessary equipment with you if you have to evacuate.

Hearing aids: Have extra batteries handy and keep them with the rest of your emergency supplies.

Identification: Have copies handy of important documents such as insurance information, especially medical, medication lists, contact lists and living wills.

Prescriptions: Talk to your doctor about stocking up on at least a week’s supply of all your prescription medicine and put an extra copy of your medication list with your emergency supplies.

Providers: Talk to your home health agency or in-home care agency about how they handle emergencies.

For those loved ones who have Alzheimer’s or other dementias, you must take extra precautions and make sure someone local has a copy of their emergency plan and knows where everything is.

Arrange in advance how they will be evacuated and where. If an emergency occurs, remain calm, and provide clear direction and support.

In addition to the above tips, there is an app that can be downloaded from the Google app store called “My PD.” The app keeps you connected to your local police department for updates, emergencies, instructions and announcements. Once downloaded, you can choose your state and county.

For additional information, visit the following sites: South Carolina Emergency Management (www.scemd .org); South Carolina Department of Transportation for evacuation routes (; National Hurricane Center (www.nhc.

Also, stay in touch with local information via the official town websites and social media.

We hope we won’t see a repeat of Hurricane Matthew in our lifetimes, but as the saying goes “plan for the worst.”

Five of the Most Common Interview Questions and How to Answer Them

Candidate Experience, Tips & Tricks, Video Interviewing

Interviews tend to stress most people out. But they can actually be a fun exercise in practicing your communication skills and finding out if you really belong with the company. Whether you're sitting down for an in-person interview or utilizing a digital interview platform, here are five common questions you should know.

Tell me a little about yourself.

When an interviewer asks to get to know you, she's asking about your professional background rather than your personal one. Unless your personal hobbies and interests influence your professional life, skip the mini-bio. Think of this question as an opportunity to sum up why you're the right fit for the company.

What are your long-term career plans?

For this question, you may be asked about a specific time frame such as five or ten years. Where do you hope to be in that time? This question can also help you realize how you want to spend your professional life. Come up with some concrete goals you hope to accomplish, and tell the interviewers how their company will help you achieve those goals.

What made you leave your previous job?

An interview helps both job seekers and interviewers determine if people will work well in the company's environment. Be honest and positive, and don't throw former management under the bus even if it was their fault that you left.

Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses.

People get tripped up over this question, but it's not meant to be tricky. Choose three examples of your strengths as an employee and two examples of areas where you need improvement. Don't try to slip in a positive as a negative. For example, “I finish projects too quickly” is not a weakness. The goal of this question is to find out how insightful an employee is about his own performance, so answer honestly.

Why do you want to work here?

This is a question you should ask yourself, and if you don't have a good answer then maybe it's time to apply elsewhere. Interviewers know you want a decent salary and benefits. Beyond the monetary gain, tell them why you chose this company and what you can bring to the table.

Interviews are scary enough as it is. If you have some answers prepared for commonly asked questions, it will help you manage part of this stress as well as help you perform better in your interview.

This Week's Featured Album: "Pyromania" by Def Leppard

Stream Album

“Pyromania” is the third studio album from British rock band Def Leppard. Released on January 20, 1983, the album is a breakaway from the band’s traditional heavy metal style into a more radio-friendly “glam” sound. The album cracked #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and has since been certified diamond. The album is remembered for solidifying the use of hooks, infectious melodies, and anthemic choruses in the heavy metal scene and is highly regarded as one of the first albums to shatter the barrier between rock and mainstream radio. Tracks like “Rock of Ages” and “Foolin’” made it onto top 40 charts, as well as the album’s biggest hit “Photograph,” which maintained the number one spot on the rock charts for six weeks. Stream every unforgettable single of this unforgettable 80’s classic including “Comin’ Under Fire,” “Billy’s Got a Gun,” and “Action! Not Words” now on Spotify!

How to Play Cherry Blossoms Slots

Learning how to play Cherry Blossoms slots is easy as the buttons and features are not complex. It is always best to choose the number of paylines to play before determining how much you want to bet per spin. When you play online slot Cherry Blossoms, you will find that all 20 paylines are activated by default. So, if you want to lower your active paylines, simply go to the Lines section and click the – button until you reach your preferred number of paylines. Alternatively, you can click the numbers at the left and right sides of the reels. However, do remember that when you click a higher payline, you are also activating the lower paylines. For instance, if you click the number five, you also activate paylines one to four. You can also click the Max button if you want to activate all paylines.

The next thing you have to do is choose your bet amount for the spin. Go to the Bet section and click the – or + buttons to adjust your bet size. You can choose between 0.02, 0.04, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00 and 4.00. You can also click the Max button if you want to bet the maximum possible amount. Once you’ve made your selection, click the Spin button to start spinning the reels. If you want to avoid clicking the Spin button for every round, you can do so by clicking the Auto Play button. You can choose from five to 100 auto spins. Once you’ve made your selection, the reels will start spinning automatically and the Auto Play button will change to Stop Auto. You can click this button if you want to abort the auto spins.

This means that you have more chances of winning without wagering your actual money! Plus, all the prizes you get from the free games are tripled!

Watch out for the Geisha Wild symbol because when this appears and creates a winning payline, your prize will be multiplied by six! If you think things could not get any better than that, well, you thought wrong. If three or more Cherry Blossoms Scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels during the free spins, you will re-trigger the feature and get more free spins!

You can gamble your winnings for up to five times. However, keep in mind that jackpot wins cannot be gambled.

Cherry Blossoms Slots Review

The features of this online fruit machine are very basic, and yet they are still entertaining. For instance, you will love the fact that you can re-trigger the free spins feature. At random, you can be awarded up to 25 free games so always watch out for the Scatter symbol. What’s even better is the fact that the free games win can be multiplied by six when the Wild symbol creates a winning combination! If you’re feeling adventurous, take advantage of the Gamble feature which can let you multiply your winnings for up to four times!

The graphics of this game are basic and the layout is plain. If you are into multi-level slots, Cherry Blossoms may not be the game for you. You might prefer Taco Brothers slots from ELK Studios if you want to enjoy a mini adventure with your slots experience. On the other hand, if you prefer simple graphics and gameplay, you will find Cherry Blossoms slots entertaining.

The game is also available for free play. So, if you are not ready to play real money online pokies just yet, you can check out the demo version. This feature is especially helpful if you want to test the game before betting your actual money. The free play version of this game does not have to be downloaded.

  • District of Columbia and Virginia
  • United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
  • United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia

Matthew J. Malinowski focuses his practice on highly complex, "bet the company" trials and litigation.  He has defended corporate clients in serial mass tort litigation and trials, including both state and federal multi-district litigation.  He specializes in the areas of medical device and pharmaceutical products liability defense, multiple plaintiff serial trials and related litigation, high-stakes financial and commercial contract disputes, high dollar lost business value and business interruption claims, and putative class action and mass groundwater and soil contamination cases.

Mr. Malinowski has a wealth of experience in all levels of high-stakes litigation.  He has tried cases in state and federal courts and has handled every level of trial advocacy, including picking juries, in so-called “Judicial Hellhole” jurisdictions.  He has extensive experience in cross and direct examinations of fact and expert witnesses at trial, as well as conducting summary judgment and Daubert dispositive motions hearings, both pre-trial and during trial, in courts throughout the country.

Over the last several months, Mr. Malinowski has developed a specialty for successfully defending brand-name pharmaceutical companies against so-called “innovator liability” claims by plaintiffs allegedly injured by exposure to generic drugs.  This includes obtaining pre-litigation dismissals in courts in Texas and Idaho based on the rejection of the innovator liability doctrine as a valid cause of action. (See W.D. Texas order.)

Mr. Malinowski is lead trial counsel for one of the world’s largest petrochemical companies in serial state-court trials in Iberville Parish, Louisiana stemming from a plant explosion and subsequent two-year plant shutdown. For the past three years, he has actively prosecuted commercial contract claims against a large company that formerly co-owned and operated the plant under both breach of contract and contractual indemnification causes of action with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake. Trial in that matter is set for November 2020.  From 2014 through early 2017, he litigated, tried and picked juries in multiple personal injury cases involving the same plant explosion.

In 2014, he successfully tried for a large pharmaceutical company a case on remand from one of the most active federal MDLs, achieving a defense verdict in Florida after the jury deliberated for less than 45 minutes following a three-week trial.  In that same litigation, he obtained summary judgment on various different independent legal grounds in multiple cases, including specific causation, general causation, and adequacy of the drug’s warning.  He has also obtained a dispositive Daubert victory excluding a serial causation expert’s opinion in its entirety as unreliable.

Mr. Malinowski regularly advises clients on various employment and labor controversies both before and after litigation has ensued.  He represents corporate clients in extra-jurisdictional document production disputes involving internal employment files and other highly sensitive corporate documents and assessments.  He also counsels clients on the proper handling and best practices associated with different garnishment proceedings throughout the country.  He leads interviews of potential corporate witnesses both before and after lawsuits are filed to develop a detailed understanding of the underlying facts necessary to present the best possible corporate liability litigation defense.

Mr. Malinowski has been heavily involved in some of the Firm’s most notable recent cases. In 2018, he represented an industry sponsored recycling program as lead counsel in an anti-trust case pending in California.  He represented a large Firm client in the defense of a substantial lost business value and business interruption case stemming from a train derailment at an industrial plant site, in which the plaintiff company sought hundreds of millions of dollars in alleged damages.  That trial, which was tried in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, lasted just one out of an anticipated three months before the parties reached a confidential settlement.

Mr. Malinowski also represented a medical device manufacturer in serial litigation involving surgical mesh used to repair hernias, and was part of the trial team for the first jury trial in that litigation, which resulted in a complete defense verdict that was subsequently named by The National Law Journal as one of the year's "Top Ten Defense Wins."  He has actively participated in both pre-filing and post-filing investigations and corporate witness interviews regarding a recalled product for the same client, and helped develop winning litigation strategies from the ground up based on these investigations.

Mr. Malinowski has experience conducting extensive jury selection in state courts, often against high-profile local plaintiffs’ attorneys.  He has experience handling every aspect of trial practice.  He regularly conducts trial examinations of experts in medical, economic, financial, petrochemical, environmental disciplines, and corporate witnesses.  Mr. Malinowski has conducted affirmative direct examinations of corporate witnesses at trial, and has defended employees in numerous depositions.  He also has prepared pre-trial mock jury presentations and represented some of the Firm’s largest clients in high-stakes mediations.  He has been instrumental in the successful resolution of many of the Firm’s complex cases, including Daubert summary dispositions and trials.

Mr. Malinowski is an active member of the National Association of Railroad Trial Counsel (NARTC).  He currently serves as a member of the executive committees on preemption and program issues for NARTC, and serves as a faculty member instructor for the NARTC’s Annual Trial College — an intensive six-day trial techniques course attended by attorneys throughout the country.  He has also given numerous presentations on various topics throughout the country, including ethical and strategic trial strategies in high profile litigation.

Mr. Malinowski is a member of the Defense Research Institute and The John Carroll Society.  He was a summer associate at the Firm in 2001 and 2002, practiced as an associate beginning in 2003, and became a partner in early 2011.

george mcphee is the master of his domain

(Getty image)

I’ve got a friend named Shawn.

He’s a good dude who is very easy going, never starts drama and he’s someone who I’ve always enjoyed hanging around.

Unless we’re playing poker.

If my group of friends decides to play a “friendly” game of poker, then Shawn is the last person in the world I care to see.

It’s not personal. It’s just that my buddy Shawn is skilled enough to have played his way into the World Series of Poker twice and at some point I realized that it was no longer fun donating money to the same guy over and over.

So if I know he’s going to be involved, I politely decline the poker invite.

We can still get together to do dinner, watch a football game or whatever, but poker is no longer an option between the two of us.

I bring this up because at some point I feel like this is what’s going to happen to Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee.

Eventually his peers are going to realize that no good can come from answering the phone when McPhee calls with a trade proposal, until one day the entire league has blacklisted GMGM.

The only question, at this point, is how long will it take his fellow general managers to catch on.

It’s like that scene in “The Wire” when you see some of Baltimore’s finest using a chessboard to play checkers because they don’t know the rules of chess.

Simply put, McPhee is playing a completely different game than his peers – both in hockey and our nation’s capital.

Take, for example, how GMGM handled the Semyon Varlamov situation. The Caps were saddled with a disgruntled player who was clearly unhappy with his current situation.

Rather than re-signing for a contract in line with what the Capitals paid fellow goalie Michal Neuvirth (who signed a two-year, $2.3 million extension in 2010), Varlamov wanted to be paid twice as much while also being guaranteed Washington’s starting job next season.

For now, I’ll refrain from stepping on my soap box and saying exactly how I feel about a player who is so afraid of healthy competition that he tries to force the team to promise him the job before ever stepping onto the ice.

This isn’t about injury-prone cowards who threaten to take their ball and go home. It’s about just how savvy McPhee is at what he does for a living.

So instead of calling out Varlamov for his clear lack of character, I’ll simply say that this particular youngster opted to put the Capitals in a tough spot by trying to force management’s hand.

Now, how does GMGM react? As cool, calm and collected as a hostage negotiator.

Publicly he says little – simply declaring that if Varlamov really does want to play in Russia next year, so be it. The Caps will still have two highly touted netminders to work with.

Privately though, he begins to form an exit strategy to get this cancer out of his locker room. His mindset clearly became: “How do I get rid of this guy while still getting something closely related to fair-market value?”

What happens next? McPhee dumps his malcontent on Colorado and somehow walks away with a first- and second-round draft pick for his troubles.

Never mind that Varlamov was a restricted free agent and if the Avalanche had simply signed Varly to an offer sheet for the same exact amount of cash they ended up signing him for (three years at $8.5 million), they would have only had to give up the second rounder.

GMGM somehow managed to Jedi mind trick Avs general manager Greg Sherman so badly that it almost makes you feel sorry for the guy … until you remember that this move is only going to bolster the home team’s depth.

Even McPhee seemed baffled at Colorado’s decision to throw in the extra first rounder for posterity’s sake.

“We were hoping to have Semyon back this year and play a full season so we could get that kind of value for him next summer because we knew next summer we were going to have to do something with one of the goaltenders,” he said. “But we got that value now, and given the injury, I’m surprised we got that now.”

Fortunately for everyone involved, McPhee stopped short of calling Sherman the moron that he is for signing off on this deal. No need to kick a man while he’s down.

And how did GMGM celebrate the fleecing of Colorado? By stealing their backup plan.

You see, before the Avalanche turned their attention to Varlamov, they tried to acquire free agent Tomas Vokoun. The two sides failed to make it work, so Colorado panicked and overpaid for Varly.

McPhee’s next move makes this entire ordeal that much sweeter. He acquired Vokoun just for the hell of it.

And somehow he talks one of the NHL’s best goalies into taking a massive pay cut in the process. Vokoun, who made $6.3 million this season, signed a one-year deal for $1.5 million. (Which, ironically, was what the Caps were willing to pay Varlamov).

The only thing left to do at that point was to take Sherman’s lunch money and officially be done with him. That’s how crafty McPhee is.

(Honestly, if he was any better at his job, he’d officially cross over into James Bond villain territory at this point. He’s just too diabolical for his own good.)

Now let’s compare McPhee’s front office skills to that of his local peers.

What happened when Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo was faced with a disgruntled employee – namely manager Jim Riggleman? The coach quit, everybody looked bad and the Nats went from being the hottest team in baseball to under .500 once again.

And how about the Redskins and their comedy of errors when handling anything and everything related to Donovan McNabb and Albert Haynesworth?

While general manager Bruce Allen is busy kissing hands and shaking babies like some type of mid-level politician, head coach Mike Shanahan is happily dragging their names through the mud to ensure the Redskins will never get any sort of value when the day finally comes to cut the cord on McNabb and/or Haynesworth.

That’s what passes for acceptable with the other teams in town. So really, if McPhee was half as good at his job, he’d still be twice as skilled as anyone else calling the shots in Washington.

Like I said, the man is playing chess while his contemporaries are stuck playing checkers.

While I finally wised up and took myself out of the game, Caps fans can only hope that fellow NHL general managers have too much ego and pride to do the same the next time McPhee dials their number. Because as long as that’s the case, the Capitals should be in good shape.

Oh, and about Varlamov, the Caps were 37-14-6 without him last season. I’m pretty sure they’ll be just fine without the extra body on the injured list.

    July 5, 2011 at 7:42 am

    While I agree with the tenor of your article, I think that perhaps you (as well as other writers) make a mistake in assuming that Colorado would have gotten Varlamov simply by making an offer. What was to prevent another team from doing the same? Their way, Colorado was assured of getting a potential key player. Also, from what I’ve read, Vokoun offered his services on the cheap and GMGM couldn’t resist.

  2. Krol2
    July 5, 2011 at 9:51 am

    Love the tone. If GMGM could get more for Varly now, I don’t see any reasons for what if’s later. I was surprised to see what GMGM got for Varly now. Varlys groin is jealous of Fred Taylors groin for staying so healthy.

  3. Hockey1919
    July 5, 2011 at 10:24 am

    If the pilot of your flight announces his name is “Greg Sherman” immediately get off the plane. There weren’t many places for Vokoun to go and as long as he was available there was no reason to rush into a lopsided trade for an injury prone unproven goaltender.

    Even funnier would have been if Varlamov doesn’t come to terms with Colorado and they are left with second round compensation instead. Again, there was no guarantee even open attaining Varly’s rights that Colordao would sign him.

  4. ExKiwi Krol
    July 5, 2011 at 10:26 am

    I might have played with this Shawn and saw him fleece people of their chips (My brother) yet I play in such a random style, he’d lose his cool and I’d beat him.

    Let’s hope GMGM doesn’t deal with Philly.

The Virtual Hospice has an experienced hospice nurse in the hospital around-the-clock

to assist with optimal symptom management and family support.  Additionally, the Palliative care physicians assume medical management of the hospice patient offering specialist expertise of the dying patient.

Horizon volunteers transform the room into "an oasis of calm" by touching the senses.

Each room is enhanced with scent, music, light, art, and comfort touches. These small details provide patients and their families a respite from the hustle and bustle of a busy hospital contained within their room.

                     Before                                                 After

To learn more about Virtual Hospice or to find out if it is appropriate for you or a loved one, contact 414-365-8300 and ask to learn more.

Constantly hearing “wear a mask,” “wash your hands,” “use hand sanitizer” and be socially distant can be too much.

We’re social animals, who all have our own opinions and beliefs, but in a time where a pandemic like COVID-19 could or is overwhelming medical facilities and is dominating almost every aspect of your life, it can be too much to handle.

Some have already or will be reaching a breaking point.

Just remember, you are not alone as the days stretched on to weeks that stretched on to months and that could last even longer, experts at The Cleveland Clinic said.

You may be feeling overwhelmed and confused about all the mixed information you are getting from the media, your friends and on social media.

You may be even questioning yourself, wondering if you are overreacting or worse yet, not reacting enough.

Masks are a big part of the second-guessing that people may be experiencing, according to The Cleveland Clinic.

Some are dead set on wearing a mask anytime they are out, others are not abiding by the guidance or even the laws that have been established.

And both sides of the mask-wearing debate can be vocal about their beliefs.

“Humans have a need to feel right and that they are doing the right thing. When we see people engaging in a wide variety of behaviors -- particularly when it comes to physical safety, well-being and health -- it can cause self-questioning for people, even when, according to their values and science, they’re already doing the right thing,” Dr. Scot Bea, a psychologist at The Cleveland Clinic, said.

You may also be experiencing fatigue, or just being done with all the restrictions that can make you develop a need to do things that you know increase your risk, conflicting with your normal behavior.

Pandemic fatigue could include feelings of, according to UCLA Health:

  • Fear
  • Anxiety
  • Loneliness
  • Hopelessness

You may also be angry or frustrated.

You may be eating or sleeping more, not able to focus, lack motivation, withdraw from people and not able to stop racing thoughts, UCLA Health said.

“If they are feeling fatigued, pinched, deprived of things that they have either enjoyed or valued, some people may take greater risks because the virus is invisible and sometimes the consequences of the virus can be downplayed, meaning more people might ignore it,” Bea said.

So how do you battle the conflict within yourself as well as when you’re out around people?

Bea said stand firm and believe in yourself. Also, set boundaries that agree with your beliefs. It is OK to say no if a gathering has too many people, but explain it is the fact that it’s your health your concerned about and that it doesn’t correspond to how you think about them or the health or safety of others. The decision is about your personal safety and that alone.

You can also work through the coronavirus fatigue by exercising, UC Davis Health said. Any type of exercise will do and will release endorphins and remove adrenaline. It also helps to talk about what you are facing. Be mindful and be thankful for what you do have, not what you’re missing out on, UC Davis also suggested.

COVID-19 Travel Updates Across Australia State by State

Winter School Holidays in Australia

All east coast states of Australia are on holidays at the same time. ACT, QLD, NSW and Vic school holidays are from Sat 26 June to Sun 11 July.

West coast Australia (being WA and SA) is on holidays one week after the east coast states from Sat 3 July to Sun 18 July. NT is doing it's own thing, probably because it's dry season, and is on holidays from 26 June to 19 July.

To get the best deals and availability, east coasters would probably be best served travelling west for that first week and west coasters could travel east for the last week.

Questions & Answers Regarding Taxotere

Pain. Tired Exhausted Stressed Woman Suffering From Strong Eye Pain. Portrait Of Beautiful Young Female Feeling Sick, Having Headache, Nose Pain And Touching Painful Eyes. Healthcare. High Resolution
Cancer offers no mercy for those it affects, and sadly, the treatment process often causes as much damage as it undoes. Chemotherapy drug cocktails can leave patients in pain, constantly tired, nauseated and generally feeling unwell.

At Hotze Runkle, we’ve seen firsthand the negative effects that chemotherapy drugs like Taxotere can have on people. Those searching for a path to a cancer-free life are often left with new, enduring health problems after chemotherapy treatment.

With the majority of the attention surrounding Taxotere lawsuits focused on permanent hair loss, lost in the media spotlight is the effect that it can have on a patient’s vision. We urge you to seek both medical and legal counsel for any ongoing issues with your eyes and vision if you were treated with the chemotherapy drug Taxotere.

A Quick Refresher

We have covered some of the potential sides effects that can affect a patient’s eyes after the use of Taxotere but it is definitely worth revisiting. Some of the problems Taxotere has been shown to cause include:

  • Excessive tearing
  • Dry, swollen eyelids
  • Blurry vision
  • Blocked tear ducts
  • Constant itchiness

Even symptoms like an increase in “floaters” during and after treatment have been documented by patients and their medical teams. It is also possible that some of the difficulties that impact vision and the eyes could be attributed to nerve damage.

These are some of the more extreme and worrisome of adverse effects caused by using Taxotere.

Basic Questions and Answers Regarding Taxotere

Are these issues really the result of Taxotere and other related chemotherapy drugs?

Simply put, yes. There is ample evidence, both scientific and anecdotal, that Taxotere can and likely will affect your vision to some degree.

Is it necessary to tell my oncologist about minor issues with my eyes while taking/right after taking the drug?

Any differences you notice in your vision or how your eyes feel may not be enough to seriously alter your everyday quality of life. However, how often you experience excessive tearing and other side effects can change quickly, and the more information you and your medical team have about new developments in your health, the quicker they can get a plan in place to manage these issues. As with all things related to chemotherapy, you can’t assume that conditions will remain consistent or that new problems won’t arise.

How soon can I rule out more serious eye issues/disorders?

Another one of the troubles about Taxotere and other chemotherapy drugs is that when they affect your vision, you won’t have access to any definitive answers for some time.

In order to properly diagnose a new eye disorder, you have to wait at least 3-6 months to meet with an ophthalmologist, so that Taxotere and other chemotherapy drugs will have completely passed through your system.

Do I have to wait that long to see an eye doctor?

If your excessive tearing and other symptoms last for extended periods of time, especially multiple days in a row, you SHOULD NOT ignore them waiting for chemotherapy drugs to clear your body. When tearing, dryness, or blurred vision significantly impact your ability to do everyday tasks, then you should see your ophthalmologist. Inform them of the issues you are dealing with are a result of your chemotherapy treatment.

How seriously should I consider corrective surgery?

Surgery is a possibility when the underlying cause for excessive tearing is determined to be a blocked tear duct. However, this is usually a last resort when other options like intubation have failed to provide relief of the blockage. The most serious complication that can arise in most people after surgery is infection. As with any proposed treatment, it is important to consider all options and your current and prospective health.

There is no need for the hard times cancer survivors could potentially face after being healed. Taxotere has a documented history of leaving people with additional health problems that have gone overlooked.

The national product liability lawyers at Hotze Runkle know that all anyone wants after chemotherapy treatment is to return to their lives with a renewed sense of well-being. If you or a loved one is fighting against eye-related problems caused by this chemotherapy drug, contact us today at (877) 919-0830 for a consultation.

We will hold the drug manufacturers responsible for the harm they have caused and get you the compensation you need to live the healthy life you deserve.

The Bachelor's Sean and Catherine on Bedding, Bridesmaids, and More

Spotted at Bloomingdale's registering for their upcoming nuptials, we couldn't help but ask Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici about their home's color palette, how they're blending different decorating styles, their wedding decor, and more.

Courtesy of Charisma
What colors do you prefer for your bedroom?

We like white bedding in a bedroom because it's calming but also bright. The Charisma Isabella bed in white that we picked has beautiful detailing. We then tend to use colorful or textured accessories to make our home more dynamic.

Do you have any advice for couples when they register?

It's so nice that people buy you gifts to start your life together! We tried to pick classic items that we will always love that also have a sense of our quirky nature. There is no rule for registering - buy what you love and what makes sense for you and your life!

How have you compromised on different decorating styles? Any advice can you share?

Luckily, we have a very similar style and taste level. If there's something someone doesn't like, just keep looking until you find something you do agree on. There are so many beautiful home items on the market right now, you're bound to find something both of you love.

What's your wedding color scheme?

We are focusing on gold, rose gold, and blush as the colors for the wedding. Gold is one of the sexiest colors. It's also symbolic of where we got engaged – in Thailand!

Property condition information that’s cloud-based – “Word cloud” based

How to get a better scope of property quality and condition without entering the home

Many factors contribute to the process of determining the value of a residential property. Two of the key components are quality and condition. For example, a newly renovated home that has a gourmet kitchen and an updated bathroom may be valued more highly than a similar home that possesses only above-average amenities and is in average condition.

Unfortunately, the ability to obtain information on individual property data about these two factors is hard to come by, short of an interior physical inspection. This is why most automated valuation models (AVM) default to assessing “average” quality and condition. As a result, it is often difficult to differentiate (and accurately value) properties at the above-average and below-average ends of the spectrum.

However, there is now a way to identify characteristic and condition differences by searching out words used to describe these seemingly hard to distinguish homes. And, as lenders and other AVM users will be pleased to note, they are not the ones who need to do the detective work — CoreLogic automated tools are doing it for them.

Difficult, But Not Impossible

It is feasible to obtain details on a property’s quality and condition; Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have even established specific definitions for rating and standardizing these factors. The GSEs require appraisers to evaluate them on a scale from C1/Q1(best) to C6/Q6(worst). Detailed definitions of these rating points can be viewed in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Uniform Appraisal Dataset Specification.

However, outside of the GSEs who can access large stores of appraisal data, it is difficult to get a full picture of property quality and condition. Thanks to the advances in machine learning and cloud computing, it is now possible to extract information from nontraditional data sources — namely, texts and images from Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data.

Realtor Comments Hold Vital Info

Below is part of a real estate agent’s comment for a property which was sold recently and appraised as a C5 rating:

“Great opportunity to own a large home on a large lot with tons of possibilities!”

That’s a typical comment one might find for a property that was appraised as a C5 rating. By the GSE definition, a C5 is a home in need of some significant repairs — and from the comment, it appears the agent hinted so when the property was listed for sale.

CoreLogic has developed a model that leverages various machine learning techniques, in combination with its rich appraisal and MLS data assets, to extract property quality and condition information from the comments of agents who have written descriptions of these homes in their listings with knowledge of the subject property and the surrounding neighborhood. There are a variety of words commonly used when listing properties for sale – some terms that frequently align with highly-rated homes (C1s and C2s), while others repeatedly appear for lower-rated homes (C5s and C6s).

A Cloud Provides a Clearer Picture

According to the GSEs, a property rated as C6 has substantial damage and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. So, one is likely to see a listing with keywords and terms such as TLC…needs repair…fixer-upper…fantastic opportunity…and rehab. Counting the appearance of negative and positive words is a simple way to arrive at indicators of quality and condition. And with the assistance of a sophisticated machine learning model, it becomes even easier to derive meaning from text. Think of it like a “word cloud” – the most commonly used words will appear larger in the cloud and thus will more likely signify an above- or below-average property condition.

Predictive learning techniques such as these are a must in future automated valuation models in order to provide the most accurate valuation possible in situations where an in-person inspection or appraisal is not feasible or desirable. This property condition predictor is just one of several technology innovations underlying CoreLogic’s new Total Home Valuex AVM, with the goal of providing the most accurate AVMs with the highest hit rate in the industry.
