    Amazon secretly signed me up for amazon prime without me knowing. Only reason I found out I was signed up for Prime is when I received a letter from them.

     

    Apparently they said I purchased an item  about a month a go, and used the free 2 day shipping option, which automatically signs you for amazon prime.

     

    Total BS....because I have't purchased anything from Amazon in months....had them remove the ($100.00) charge from my account.

    NHL power rankings ---> http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=744612&navid=DL|NHL|home

     

    "They are 15-0-5 in one-goal games, but there are no other indicators, fancy or traditional, that say they should be one of the best teams in the League."

     

    It boggles my mind how Corey Masisak still has a job....the guy is a joke!

     

    Even his colleagues at NHL.com think he's a moron. ---> http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?id=703896

    Man. I'm jealous. With the fan atmosphere, or lack thereof in Anaheim we could never have anything like the Habs fans had for Saku. Oh well. Life as a west coast sports fan. 

     

    At least I have calcio. 

    Montreal is crazy about Hockey, and even crazier about their Canadiens

     

    The Bell Centre is widely regarded as the NHL’s best venue to catch hockey game. Doubt any other stadium can match the atmosphere they have there.

    I’m surprised no one has thought of this already. Since coppers antimicrobial properties have been know for years.

    How does copper kill microbes?

    It's called the oligodynamic effect. Wikipedia defines the effect as "a toxic effect of metal ions on living cells, algae, molds, spores, fungi,viruses, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, even in relatively low concentrations." A study from the National College of Kathmandu in Nepal elaborates:

     

    Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a dangerous bacteria strain because it is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics.[31][32] Recent strains of the bacteria, EMRSA-15 and EMRSA-16, are highly transmissible and durable. This is of extreme importance to those concerned with reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired MRSA infections.
     
    In 2008, after evaluating a wide body of research mandated specifically by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), registration approvals were granted by EPA in 2008 granting that copper alloys kill more than 99.9% of MRSA within two hours.
