Boston College wins NCAA hockey title

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Boston College is making winning NCAA hockey titles look easy.

Coach Jerry York and star goalie Parker Milner know how hard it really is.

"You can't buy one of these championships," York said Saturday night after the Eagles beat Ferris State 4-1 for their fifth NCAA championship and third in five seasons.

"You have to earn them. And this team definitely earned it."

Milner, the Frozen Four's Most Outstanding Player, made 27 of his 33 saves in the final two periods.

"It's hard to put it into words because everyone did their part and we came together as a team," Milner said. "You don't do this without contributions from everyone and that's what we got."

Steven Whitney scored twice to help Boston College (33-10-1) finish with a 19-game winning streak. The Eagles outscored their opponents 77-21 during that span.

"We knew Ferris State was going to be outstanding," York said. "They might not have the name recognition, but we knew how good they were. We stayed patient through the first two periods. Parker was extremely strong in net. You can't be measured until you win that last trophy. Now this team can take its place among the other championship teams."

Ferris State (26-12-5) was making its first Frozen Four appearance.

"You can't say enough about what Boston College has accomplished," Ferris State coach Bob Daniels said. "I think that's a very special program. It's going to be hard to duplicate."

Paul Carey broke a tie with a power-play goal midway through the first period, redirecting Brian Dumoulin's blast from left point to make it 2-1.

Johnny Gaudreau also scored for Boston College.

Garrett Thompson scored for Ferris State.

Whitney opened the scoring at 3:18 of the first period, stealing a pass and beating lunging goalie Taylor Nelson. Thompson tied it at 5:19, and Carey put the Eagles in front at 10:33.

Gaudreau weaved through the Ferris State defense to make it 3-1 with 3:02 left in the game. He carried over the blue line with two defenders between him and the net. The freshman star went around one defenseman, faked forehand on the other defender, then went to his backhand and flicked a shot from the edge of the right circle. It got past Nelson to the far post.

"That was a big-time goal by a big-time player," York said.

Whitney added an empty-net goal with 1:03 to go.

Boston College also won national championships in 1949, 2001, 2008 and 2010. The Eagles are the first program to win three titles in five years since Denver accomplished the feat with wins in 1958, 1960 and 1961.

Daniels said he felt Ferris State represented itself well.

"I felt very comfortable coming out of the second period, but they just had too much," Daniels said. "I have zero regrets about this. We did the best we could. I have zero regrets about how they played and how they performed."

I really love the idea. =D It sounds great. I'm thinking about adding the goddess of anarchy, though I'm not sure whether that'll be okay? It's just an idea I have, but if you'd rather we keep to the major gods, I would like to reserve Athena, if I could? =)

The Importance of Conducting Sales Instruction Research Earlier On

Write-up by Jeff Paul

The importance of revenue coaching research done at the outset, just before any business farms out its revenue training to a third-social gathering provider, cannot be overemphasized. The economic downturn notwithstanding, many businesses even now proceed to commit a wonderful offer in purchase to teach their revenue professionals. A lot of, even so, decide not to do this in-home, and elect to have their revenue professionals skilled by 3rd-get together profits instruction companies. Nonetheless, if not ample is completed to guarantee that there is a ideal suit between these companies and the coaching providers they go with, this kind of that the companies are actually able to fill these companies? training needs, then the organizations will be investing for nothing.

This illustrates the significance of conducting analysis that goes previously mentioned and over and above simply inquiring if the sales education companies being considered are a fit for a company?s needs.

A systematic commence to this type of research would be to develop a set of evaluation recommendations for picking third-party revenue instruction companies. Such suggestions would automatically need to be based mostly on those companies? certain sales education needs that can?t be filled by in-property revenue coaching workers or departments.

Another critical procedure would be to perform product sales instruction research on the foremost revenue instruction programs that are offered in the marketplace, and to evaluate what they can provide ? a lot more exclusively, no matter whether they can satisfy customer-certain profits education demands or not. In relation to this, it would be extremely essential to establish which distinct sales trainers can be a lot more efficient at sales instruction than companies? in-property employees in order to make positive that that specific expenditure is deployed for highest product sales usefulness.

Nearby Star May Have More Planets Than Our Solar System

Well, they do unless they're binary stars where the planets were so huge they condensed into a star. And the planets go from so close they're in danger of being consumed, to so far out that the the material they would have been made of was flung out of the stellar system instead - in orbits of the maximum closeness that you couldn't fit another planetary orbit between them. Since every reasonable sized star has a habitable zone, and given the distribution of mass, between 2 and 4 planets have to be in it. Time makes the orbits regular. If the planet in the right spot is too large for Men, it will have a moon of the appropriate size.

This is obvious from the distribution of prestellar masses and the forces that cause stars and planets to form. Who doesn't know this? It's Bode's Law.

See those stars in the sky? They have planets. All of them, near enough as makes no difference. And all of them have planets where liquid water could form. And water is so common that there is water on all of them. And so the Fermi Paradox becomes more intriguing. The stars in the sky where Men cannot live are passing rare - if we can get there.

Let's go already.

Too much exercise, too soon, can also lead to overtraining and injuries. It is advisable to get enough rest between workouts to recover.Girls who over exercise interrupt the hormones balance in their bodies which can change the menstrual cycles. They may stop having their periods, a condition known as amenorrhea which increases the risk of premature bone loss known as osteoporosis and it also leads to tiredness and low energy.

4 Keys to Getting Motivated to Exercise at Home | Health and Fitness ...

I have to concede that I have my ups and downs with the exercise at home habit. This work out plan ? more like a fitness hack ? helped me out a lot.

So I realize that it\?s not the best habit for many folks, and most people\?s experience include beginning and stopping and beginning again. Which is fine ? don\?t defeat yourself over it. The essential thing is starting up again.

The Key Challenges So why do most people have difficulty making (fitness a regular habit? Well, there are probably a variety of factors, but here are the key ones as I see it:

Too difficult. People set out with a lot of ambition and enthusiasm, and start out with a big mission. \?I\?m going to go to the gym for an hour a day!\? or \?I\?m going to run 30 minutes every day!\? The difficulty is that the purpose is too difficult to uphold for all that long. You can do it for a few days, but you shortly exhaust steam, and it develops into a burden to do it.

Too many goals. Frequently we began to do very much. We wish to run, and lift weights, and eat healthy, and abandon sweets, and quit enjoying soda. Well, those are multiple goals, and you cannot concentrate on the exercise routine if you\?re attempting to do all the others all at once. Or we might start with one goal, but then get caught up in one more goal (to stop procrastinating, for example), and get rid of our emphasis on the first one.

Insufficient enthusiasm. It\?s not a shortage of discipline, it\?s not enough motivation. The most potent motivators, in my experience, are chronicling your practice and public pressure. There are many others that can help out as well.

The 4 Simple Steps

So how do we solve those problems? Keep it simple. Here are the 4 easy steps to start the training routine (and keep it going).

1. Set one easy, certain, measurable goal. There are various factors to setting this critical goal:

Written: Write this down. Post it up. If you don\?t commit it to paper, it\?s not vital.

- Simple: DO NOT set a challenging goal. Set one that is super easy. A few minutes of exercise a day. You can do that. Work your way to 10 minutes after a four week period. Then go to 15 after 2 months. You can see what I suggest: make it easy to begin with, so you can establish your habit, then gradually increase.

- Specific: By specific, I mean what physical activity are you going to do, at what time of day, and where? Don\?t just say \?physical exercise\? or \?cardio\?. You have to set a time and place. Make it an appointment you cannot pass up.

- Trigger: I highly recommend that you have a \?trigger\? right before you do your routine. As an example, you might always brush your teeth right after you shower. The shower is the trigger for brushing your teeth, and due to the fact of that, you do not ever forget to brush your teeth. Well, what will you do just before you exercise? Is it soon after you wake up in the morning? Precisely after your coffee? Right when you get home? Once you leave for lunch? A trigger that you do each day is important.

- Measurable: By measurable, I mean that you could be able to say, definitely, whether you meet your target today. Examples: run for 5 minutes. Walk 1/2 a mile. Do 5 sets of 5 pullups. Each of those goals has a number that you can shoot for.

- A single goal: Stick to this one goal for not less than a month. A couple of months if you can stand it. Do not start up an additional goal during that first phase. If you do, you are letting yourself down.

2. Track it each day. This is the vital habit. If you can log your exercise session, you will be able to see your progress, and it is going to motivate you to keep going. And you must make it a habit to log it immediately. Don\?t procrastinate, and say you\?ll do it before you are going to bed. Once you\?re done training, log it. There can be no exceptions. You don\?t have to make the log complex ? that will only keep you from carrying out the log. Just the date, time, and what you did.

3. Report to others. I feel this is important. You can do it on your web site, in an email, with your partner, or family, or a workout buddy, or a trainer, or a club. However you use it, make it part of the method that you must report your daily workout to others.

4. Add motivation as required. The first three steps could be enough for you to get the exercise habit initiated. If not however, don\?t just surrender. If you miss two consecutive workouts, you need to look at why, and add in a new inspiration. Bonuses, added public pressure, inspiration, whatever it takes. You can simply add one additional motivator, and then see if it works. If you miss two more consecutive workouts anytime, add an additional motivator. Keep doing this work out plan, until the exercise at home habit sticks.

But you don?t always have to spend quick payday loans to set up an aquarium or spend that much money especially when you only need a simple fish tank for your home. You can even set it up yourself. ?If you are new at this, here are some tips to follow.

Determine the kind of fish you want.?It is important to know the kind of fish that you want to take care of. if you want to own an exotic fish, be prepared to spend more money. would you want a baby shark? there are special ways to care for this kind of fish. You could also consider cute little fishes like a gold fish.

Find the right fish tank.?Before buying the fish, you have to ready its own home. Depending on the size and number of the fish, you should accord the size of the tank with it. For instance, you would need a gargantuan fish tank if you want a school of fish in it. But for a single gold fish, the smallest tank or even a fish bowl will do.

Good water.?Be sure to use clean water. Avoid using tap water because it has chemicals that can harm the fish. use natural spring water or salt water available from the fish store. But when using water from the tap, you must strain it and leave it overnight so the chemicals goes down at the bottom.

Get pebbles and a blower.?These things have great significance and not just displays in a tank. The pebbles become home to microorganisms and algae that are eaten by the fish. Dirt are also trapped in here. The blower prevents the water from becoming stagnant and it prevents bacteria from forming easily.

Clean it.?Always keep the aquarium clean. therefore make it a point to spend an hour or so to clean the tank once in a month. This will remove bacteria, algae, dirt, and other unnecessary things in the tank. be careful with doing this. Transfer the fish to a clean container first. Remove all the accessories inside. Clean the tank with soap and water then rinse very well. Wash the accessories, too, before assembling back to the tank.

Owning a pet fish requires some work. They are also cheaper compared to other pets. therefore no need to use?quick payday loans. use the online payday loans for urgent needs only.

Next, a 45-minute facial cleanses skin, exfoliates pores, and moisturizes dermises before a rejuvenating mask sets to work. A hand and foot massage deepens relaxation until guests can no longer fathom the need for stress balls, punching bags, or garments made of anything but terrycloth.

Though Body Mind Spirit Natural Health Care sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

$999 for a Seven-Night Stay and Kayak Access at Palmetto Bay Plantation in Honduras ($1,880 Value)

Balinese-Style Villas Steps from Pristine Honduran Beach

The Mesoamerican Reef is the largest reef in the Atlantic Ocean, stretching 700 miles from the northern tip of Mexico?s Yucatan Peninsula to the Bay Islands in Honduras. The reef is a mecca for scuba divers, as 500 species of tropical fish make their home here?including the mammoth whale shark. Palmetto Bay Plantation, a 120-acre resort, is situated on a beach on the island of Roatan right next to this reef, and divers frequently stop here to relax in between trips below the surface.

You don't need to strap on a tank to enjoy the scenery, though: the resort sets up a variety of other activities and tours. You can also get an up-close view of the fish by using a complimentary kayak or jump into the water from a wooden dock that extends into the bay from the hotel property.

When you want to unwind, head to Palmetto Bay's open-air restaurant and bar on the beach. During the week, you can enjoy imported California wines alongside shrimp and fish caught fresh from the sea. On Friday nights, the restaurant serves a Honduran buffet as live performers show off Garifuna music and dance.

The ocean is visible from nearly all of the resort's homey Balinese-style villas, including the Orchid villa and Hibiscus villa. Feel free to lounge on a hammock or whip up a snack in the full kitchen.

Roatan, Honduras: Unspoiled Island Scenery with Spectacular Snorkeling

Located 40 miles off the northern coast of Honduras, Roatan is the largest of the Bay Islands and home to some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world?most of which takes place at the gargantuan Mesoamerican Reef. Though it has remained nearly untouched as a tourist destination for years, the island has seen some development on its west coast in recent times as its reputation has grown as a superb diving spot. Palmetto Bay is tucked away near the middle of the island, away from much of the tourist traffic but close enough if you want to get set up to join a submarine dive, take a zipline tour through the jungle canopy, or watch a marriage procession between sea turtles.

Four-Night, All-Inclusive Stay at Jewel Dunn's River Beach Resort and Spa in Jamaica

Adults-Only Caribbean Resort with Sprawling Pool

Along the northern coast of Jamaica, the famous Dunn's River Falls flows down 600 feet of tiered ledges before spilling into the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. A few minutes west, Jewel Dunn's River Beach Resort and Spa pays homage to its namesake with its own terraced waterfall rippling into a massive pool below. Sprawling across acres of beachfront verdure, the adults-only, all-inclusive resort revitalizes visitors with aquatic adventures and luxurious relaxation.

In The Jewel's pool, floating blue lounges slowly drift beneath footbridges. Pool concierges wade into waist-deep water to deliver trays filled with fruit kebabs, eucalyptus sprays, or a voodoo doll of your boss. For the next stage of relaxation, head down to the Radiant Spa, where you can treat yourself to Jamaican-themed body treatments using sugar cane, Blue Mountain coffee, or crushed coral. There are also complimentary kayak rentals to explore the Caribbean coastline.

Throughout the day, The Jewel?s casual and formal restaurants serve an eclectic range of international fare. Jade Samurai showcases tableside, knife-twirling teppanyaki chefs, and the cooks at Platinum craft jerk-chicken spring rolls and other Caribbean-inspired dishes. Those staying on Friday nights get a six-course candlelit dinner on the pier.

At night, step inside your colonial-themed rooms with four-poster mahogany beds and tiled floors. Views vary depending on the room, but visitors can enjoy the view from the Sapphire mountain-view room's private balcony, and those staying in the Emerald Lanai rooms can take in the forested mountains surrounding the town.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica: Famed Waterfall and World-Class Shopping

Located within the parish of St. Ann on Jamaica's north coast, Ocho Rios is best known for Dunn's River Falls, which served as a filming location for the first James Bond movie, Dr. No. Today, tour groups play at the bottom of the waterfall or make the 600-foot climb to the top, typically achieved by linking hands and being carefully led by a local guide.

A colorful world lies in the ocean, where dive sites such as Devil's Reef contain anemones, corals, algae, barracudas, and the Miami Marlins baseball squad practicing in their natural habitat. For a look at Jamaica?s rainforest, drive south of Ocho Rios to Fern Gully, a gorge shaded by a canopy of ferns, trees, and lianas.

Servers deliver platters of crab-stuffed plantains and oxtail cooked with wine and fresh herbs, and diners press against the glass bakery cases displaying coconut fritters and bread pudding.

Photos of Cuba ornament the walls alongside chalkboards scrawled with the daily specials. Patrons follow the wine racks lining the corridor to a smaller room, where hand-selected bottles from Latin America click against tables crafted from used wine barrels or the treehouses of sommeliers.

Golden Butterflies Spa & Rehab Center

At the new Golden Butterflies Spa & Rehab Center, medical staffers trained in high-tech, nonsurgical procedures team up with beauty therapists to transform bodies into fashion statements, independent of clothes. The team's most unusual treatments involve hormones and plasma formulas rich in platelet cells, which can alter body chemistry to catalyze rejuvenation and the cultivation of tiny victory gardens by the digestive tract's flora. Lasers do double duty as emissaries of smooth, hairless skin and leaner bodily contours, whereas cosmetic injections focus on creating youthful faces and obliterating cellulite. With aromatic oils and warm stones within reach, the gentle hands of massage therapists send waves of relaxation rolling through muscles via the careful acupressure of reflexology or deep-tissue therapy aimed at soothing connective tissue. Permanent cosmetics stands out as the only service with effects meant to endure forever, unlike promises of marriage to snowmen.

Pepe Le Pooche Resort & Spa

As a young girl, Monica Castillo was walking home when she realized she was being followed by a neighborhood cat, which then waited outside her house until she reemerged. The cat, a feral stray, allowed her to pet him, and eventually, adopt him. Monica?s mother, Francie, recounts this tale often, claiming that after this experience, Monica declared emphatically that she wanted to be a "doggy doctor," and never strayed from that path. After immersing herself in volunteer work, Monica attended school to become veterinary tech, a title she has held for the past four-and-a-half years. In 2011, the mother-daughter team opened Pepe Le Pooche Resort & Spa to better prepare Monica for her continuing education in veterinary school and to care for animals with kind attention and respect for their needs.

"Dogs know when they are being treated well," says Francie. To this end, she surrounds herself with staff members who were raised by animals or just have an affinity for them.
