N.H.L. Ties Its Brand to the Great Outdoor Sport.

The N.H.L.learned two simple lessons from it's debut of its Winter Classic game last. First: Repeat it again. Secondly: Make it bigger. What began in the snow and sleet at Ralph Wilson Stadium outside Buffalo continues Thursday at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Chicago Blackhawks, a team in second place in the Central Division, and the defending champions Detroit Red Wings, who are in first place in the Central. They'll play at 1 p.m. on NBC. The stadium maybe smaller this time around but the market will certainly surpass the last event. And there will certainly be alot more corporate involvement such as; Bridgestone and Honda just to name a few.The tickets will bemuch more expensive as wel; seats that cost $10 to $203 last time are now up to $25 to $335. A some seats are being offered on StubHub for as much as $10,000. Reebok has opened two stores near Wrigley to sell merchandise through Jan. 5. Also, Chicago sports legends — among will also be there, such as; the Blackhawks’ Bobby Hull and the Cubs’ Ferguson Jenkins — will be honored, and the Red Wings legend Ted Lindsay is expected to drop the ceremonial first puck.
It should be a ver spectacular event as fighter jets fly over during the national anthem. This isn’t quaint anymore and I'm sure it never will be again. The league believes the Classic — a regular-season game played outdoors every New Year’s Day — will be a long-term annual event that separates hockey from other sports; it projects the game as a midseason ritual for its fans to root nationally, not for their local teams. Already, there is demand for future games in Philadelphia, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal and Boston. Before the league got its rental at Wrigley, which is in the midst of being sold along with the Cubs, unoccupied old Yankee Stadium was seriously considered to be the site. “This is part of our new business model and gives people a sense of what we can do,” said John Collins, the league’s chief operating officer. “We introduced our Broadband player, we reintroduced NHL.com. We have 53 million fans who love the game, 22 million in the arenas and a $2.6 billion business. But it doesn’t feel as big as it should.” What happened last season in Orchard Park, N.Y., before 71,217 fans in a football stadium on a hastily built rink.This year will be a totally differernt senario.

This Winter Classic is destined to be an annual event for many years to come.Last year, Sidney Crosby’s shootout goal won the game and between the awesome hockey and the down pour of snow a new classic was born. The ice was a little iffy as several breaks in the ice and to be repaired, but the snow created a magnificent special effect. An average of 3.75 million viewers watched on NBC, more than four times what the league’s All-Star Game drew and close to the average of the Stanley Cup finals. .

The apparrel that is necessary for an outdoor game is obvious: it reminds hockey lovers, of a bygone era, especially those who learned or appreciate the sport in very cold climates. How awesome it used to be, playing on frozen ponds and lakes. “Pond Hockey: Many suggest it's the way mother nature intended hockey to be played.Here's hoping that this "new" phenomena will cotinue to grow and give us years of nesalgetic hockey.

Cameren Diaz Celebrates Her Father's Life

2008-04-23T17:57:00.000-07:00

A grief-stricken Cameren Diaz has received heart-felt support from her friends and family at a memorial service (celebration)for her father.

The actress is devastated following the sudden death of Emilio, 58, from pneumonia last Tuesday. The oil company foreman had been diagnosed with flu several weeks earlier and never recovered.

The informal(celebration) service, which was held in Seal Beach, California, on Sunday, saw the Hollywood star comforted by her friends and family.

They arrived at the memorial service and stayed until around 4pm.

Cameren Diaz - keen to ensure the service would be a celebration of her father's life - asked friends and family to wear colourful clothing and to not bring flowers.

Instead, she asked guests to make donations to two ocean protection charities.

One guest said: 'Most people started arriving at 1.30 and hardly anyone wore black.

'Lots of people were wearing Hawaiian shirts. It looked more like a party.'

In a statement released last week, Cameren Diaz, who was very close to her father, said: 'My dad was loved by so many people. His humour and spirit will always live on in our hearts.'

He is survived by his wife Billie and Diaz's older sister Chimene.

Cameren Diaz is seeking "medical attention" after the sudden death of her beloved father, according to her "What Happens In Vegas" co-star Ashton Kutcher.

The actor is currently in London to promote the movie without Diaz after her father Emilio, died last week at age 58.

And 30-year-old Kutcher expressed his concerns for Diaz at the movie's premiere in the British capital on Monday night.

He told a WENN photographer, "Sadly she will not be joining us for the premiere as she has just lost her father and is under medical attention with stress at the moment.

"But she will be better soon."

Kutcher went on to thank the paparazzi for their concern for the heartbroken star, adding: "I will be telling her of your get-well-soon wishes and condolences following her father's passing on."

On Saturday, Diaz was joined by ex-lovers Justin Timberlake and John Mayer at a memorial service in California.

Cameren Diaz Bio
Born: 30 August 1972
Where: San Diego, California, USA
Awards: 4 Golden Globe and 1 BAFTA nominations
Height: 5' 9"

Filmography: The Complete List

Many were jealous to the point of fury when Cameren Diaz made her film debut in the high-budget Jim Carrey vehicle, The Mask. Here's another good-looking bit of fluff stealing another prime role, it was said - she's all face'n'figure, no acting ability at all. There's precious few decent roles for actresses anyway, for God's sake. Now, ordinarily, you'd now read a detailed rejoinder to that attack. You'd hear how the artist under fire actually began studying under the private tutelage of Montgomery Clift at the age of 3, before winning a scholarship to the Lee Strasberg Actor's Studio. Then there was the toil and starvation of years spent struggling off-Broadway. This overnight sensation was actually over a DECADE in the making.

So the story USUALLY goes. But, in the case of Cameron Diaz, those enraged attackers were pretty much correct. Before her debut, there'd been no acting classes, no honing of her skills in repertory, no years of rejection. She was a successful model, and there can be no doubt that her looks played a huge part in winning her the role of Carrey's love, singer Tina Carlyle, in The Mask. What's incredible about Diaz is not the story we don't know - that standard tale of the building of knowledge and experience - it's the story we DO know. For this model, this complete non-actor was actually EXCELLENT in The Mask. Beyond this, within two years she was starring opposite Harvey Keitel, within three she was alongside Julia Roberts, within five it was Al Pacino. And, miraculously, she more than held her own beside all three. Immediately, somehow, she was a world-class screen actress, a complete natural, a freak of cinematic nature.

Cameren Diaz was born on the 30th of August, 1972, in San Diego, California. Her father, Emilio Diaz, was a second generation Cuban American and worked as a foreman for an oil company. Her mother, Billie, was an import/export broker of English, German and Native American descent (a complex blend of bloodlines that helps to explain Cameren's outrageous good looks). There was also an older sister, Chimene.

Many people dream of winning the lottery or striking it rich, but in reality, 70 percent of people who become instantly wealthy squander their money away within a few years.

Nadine grew up poor in Greenwich, Connecticut. At the age of 19, she packed her bags and moved to New York City to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer. Nadine started by selling scarves at street fairs and flea markets, and within a few months, she had accumulated more than $60,000 in cash.

This small-town girl's dreams started to become more of a reality after she got married and opened Yoshi, a trendy clothing boutique in New York's SoHo neighborhood.

Within six months, Yoshi was becoming one of the hippest stores in the city and had become quite profitable. Their first year of sales topped $1.2 million, and during their best year, Nadine says they made $2.2 million. "It was amazing how much cash was coming in and also how fast we were spending it," Nadine says.

Nadine and her husband started hanging out with an elite crowd. She says they took extravagant vacations, even paying $500,000 in cash for a new condo, and spending about $1,000 a week in New York's finest restaurants. "I felt like I had arrived," Nadine says. "At the time, it was my dream life."

Nadine, her husband and their three children were living in a beautiful home and enjoying the success of their small boutique…until Nadine's life took a sudden turn.

"I hung out with the beautiful people, and I felt very inadequate," Nadine says. "Like I wasn't up to their level…like the people were going to find out I was a fraud."

That's when Nadine decided to start using drugs. "Cocaine gave me a feeling of strength," she says. "It was a really good feeling in the beginning."

Nadine became a cocaine addict and, she says, developed a $600-a-day habit. She estimates that she spent about $250,000 in one year on drugs. Nadine's husband divorced her and she lost custody of their children.

After the divorce, Nadine says, she began abusing heroin and sleeping on the street. "One of my lowest points was being homeless and living in the New York City subway system in the tunnels and not being able to see my children," she says.

After stints in rehab and in prison, Nadine says she did a lot of work on herself and realized she had been trying to fill a hole in her heart with material things. She says she thought she needed the fancy car, the clothes and the trips to make her happy. "[I didn't realize] that man makes the money, money doesn't make the man," she says.

Since then, Nadine has been picking up the pieces and rebuilding her life. She's been clean for five and a half years. "It was a long, rough road," she says.

She's currently running three clothing boutiques with her sister. The stores are called Purdy Girl, and Nadine does the buying for all three locations. She's also living in an apartment with her children and managing her finances.

"I don't have a lot of extra. I pay my bills, [but] it's tough," she says. "I wouldn't mind having the money that I had back then, but I definitely don't want the lifestyle. I'm so much happier with the way that I am now."

Susan Cagle Gets Her Big Break !!

2007-12-31T15:00:00.000-08:00

Memorable Performances

For more than four years, singer-songwriter Susan Cagle has been making a name for herself throughout New York City's subway system—surprising commuters with her impromptu performances. But, life wasn't always so sweet for this soulful singer.

Growing up, Susan says she was raised in a very restrictive religious cult. "We had to do everything that they told us to do," she says. "We were only allowed to read the Bible or other religious publications that were written by the organization."

After years of feeling like a prisoner in her own life, Susan says she escaped that world and started on a path of her own. "It was like, 'Oh my gosh, I've got these feelings inside me I've always felt, a hunger for knowledge, for the world,' and I was told it was wrong," she says. "Once I started reading, it was like, 'Wow, I need to get out of this.'"

Susan moved to New York City, where she took her love of singing to the streets. "Basically, the subway allowed me to connect with people. In the subways I wasn't alone," she says. "I realized, looking around at all the people rushing by me, that everybody has their own story. … It made me realize that, wow, I don't have to use my background as an excuse to not do anything with my life."

What's Susan Doing Now ??

For years, Susan performed for anyone who would listen…and then fate stepped in. Music producer Jay Levine caught her act and soon the pair started writing music together. "He's been with me through every step of the way," she says.

One of Susan's signature songs is titled "Dear Oprah"—and when Oprah heard it for the first time, she knew she wanted to meet Susan in person! The song originated from a letter Susan wrote to Oprah when she was 17—but never sent! "Your story always inspired me, your background, how you were brought up. You're a self-made person," Susan tells Oprah. "It was really just me pouring out my heart in my diary to you."

So, what is life like for Susan now? "I just feel happy to be able to walk down the street and know that I'm free," she says.
