By Mayank Jain:
We have learned to preach love. We love to quote quotes and we make sure we express our displeasure for those fairness creams every time we have an intelligent gathering around. We are getting better at appearing non-sexist. Despite so much that we are trying to accomplish to come across as a non-judgmental bunch of people, spotting someone who doesn't fit in gives us a mental itch and our hypocrisy is exposed in no time.
As much as I hear that these times are tough for the minorities and the underrepresented, I also realize the fact that being a man is tough even when the population of men is more than women. It is partly due to a set of expectations that having a male genitalia thrusts on you, and partly because of the simple fact that we aren't just people for the world. We are a breed of conformists who believe and worship the ideals of real manhood (whatever that means), and the rest are non-conformists who are reminded/forced to confirm to the idea of 'real men' or else they will shame the name of the 'stronger sex'. It is an everyday struggle to dodge the pressure of conforming to those ideas which you hate in the first place. These are some of the stereotypes that I have continuously faced:
"Is that a pink shirt?": Yes, and I also have 2 more *pink* shirts which I love to wear. Why do I have to stay away from the colour pink and focus on blues and greys? Children get colour segregated toys from the very childhood, I might have got some too. But, why this cringe from the society when a guy wears a perfectly fine shirt just because its colour is Pink? I have seen other colours become victims of this stereotype as well and what it does is create a segregationist society where men can't venture into spaces which are 'reserved' for women and the same goes for women at times. Someone with a liking for "pink" is automatically labelled 'too girly'.
"Stop crying like a girl.": There are a lot of people who want to tell you this and they do. The idea of a "real man" is suddenly invoked when a man starts feeling emotional. If a man cries, it is not because he is weak. It is because he doesn't want to die with his feelings pent up inside. There have been times when crying came to me as an inevitable response to a situation and I had really no inclination to think about my 'masculine identity' at the moment, but it is practically a full time job of people around you to start making fun of your crying and emotions. Probably because men are supposed to have hearts of battle grade tin and steel.
"Do you really write poems? About love?": I never thought I would get to hear this. As much as I was aware of the idea of segregation of careers by the idea of 'masculinity', I never believed that even creative expression is perceived to be a feminine trait while it has nothing to do with your biological makeup. The idea that men can't write poems or express their feelings is as ridiculous as it is disappointing. Have we forgotten Shakespeare, Keats and Frost in one go? Why can't men be poets, artists, or even knitting experts? And to answer this question, yes I do write poems about love and I will keep doing it because I don't want my hobby or career to be defined by what people think a man 'should' or 'should not' do.
"Go to the gym. You must be tall, dark and handsome.": No. You don't get to tell me how I should be. This has always been a nightmare for me. Not being inclined towards cricket and the gym is a crime for someone who wants to be identified as 'man' in the society, because outdoor sports are the only way to be strong and a man can't do anything without his physical strength. Instead of opening up spheres to women also, we build walls of 'masculinity' and in turn, we describe a man by the built of his body and his ability to reach the top shelf of the kitchen (where he isn't supposed to enter, in the first place). Everyone falling outside this sphere of 'tall, dark and handsome' is qualified for being ridiculed or bullied.
"Be the man. Start paying for your girlfriend.": What about, no? Why can't a girl pay for herself? Why do men have to be superheroes and 'rescue' people all the time? Why do we have to call ourselves the 'stronger sex', why can't we be vulnerable for once and let a girl help us out? While it is a personal choice for men to pay for people around them or not, but if paying for someone makes you think that you are reasserting your 'manhood' on the relationship, then you have got it wrong. Chivalry is not dead but this fake male superiority should be killed at the earliest. Why is paying for someone a crucial requirement to 'be a man'?
I could go on about how patriarchy not only affects women, but men as well. I could point out my displeasure when my sister was told that her brother will take care of her all the time. There are hundreds of similar stereotypes that aren't just limited to men or women. There's a lot to do towards ending stereotypes and sexism, but I still dream of a society where people are people and not their gender. Let's create one?

Yesterday is gone far away, but there's an underground community of Atari gamers still devoted to the systems under the A. For handheld gamers, that's meant a slow but steady trickle of Lynx titles -- some interesting new projects the Lynx never got to see, some rebirths of games never released, and some throwbacks to games the system did well. Remnant: Planar Wars 3D falls into this third category, a space shooter with scaling effects and relentless enemies in mocked-up space combat. It's an Atari game through and through, for better or worse, with gameplay that goes back two decades now to those old pseudo-3D shooters.
- Endless supplies of aliens to target and destroy
- Five kinds of attackers, including UFOs and meteors
- Monstrous final boss
- Only for the Atari Lynx
Where Remnant has trouble fitting into the grand scheme of things is that this type of game has been done before, even on the system it's published on, and done better. Turbo Sub and Hydra weren't great flying shooters, but their terrestrial control was worlds tighter than the slow-moving space ship in Remnant. Players will spend too much time fighting the control in Remnant, and that's an unnecessary frustration. If this were for the sake of realism, say to falsify the movement of the ship in 3D space to give players the feeling that they're pilots rather than a free-floating space turret, then it might make sense, but there's no physics or speed governor to make this anything other than an interstellar turkey hunt.
It's at least a challenging fight, as wave upon wave of enemies drift out and challenge your floating craft. The only controls are to re-aim the trigger and fire shots -- evading is simply done by scooting the view screen away from what's being shot at you -- so the arcade gameplay can get pretty fierce. If only the game's programming weren't unfair to players, it could have been an intense experience. But firing attackers usually drift around behind their shots, and the only way to destroy an impending photon torpedo is to shoot down its launcher. Unlike Blue Lightning, where you could shoot down enemy missiles, your ship is defenseless unless you get really lucky on offense. Since the enemies hide behind their shots, and since the control is too sluggish to avoid as it should be in a dogfighting space fighter, there's a lot of unavoidable hits in every fight.
Visually, it's up to average with what the Lynx did with its scaling engine, but at such a slow speed, the slack graphic engine never comes together. Ships start off clunky and scale in to thick pixels without ever really coming into focus. In Blue Lightning, that was never a problem -- fighters zinged by and never said a word bad. But here, there's little more than the gray and dark gray roving blobs of asteroid to hide the engine behind. Ships designs do get much better after the first wave -- the Sleds are sharp as they zip in and out -- but it's nothing the Lynx hadn't seen before in other games, and the gameplay (which is incredibly grueling) doesn't push gamers to go deeper.
The Verdict
Old-school blast-a-thons like Remnant are a rarity these days, and unfortunately, Songbird Production's newest Lynx Game (premiered at the Computer Game Expo 2000) is proof of why. While old classics like Star Raiders were winners in their day, times have evolved greatly. Perhaps not all for the better, but a classic throwback has to at least give a reason to return -- intense gameplay or clever challenge. Remnant's simplicity could never be confused for Colony Wars, but if all there's to be had is combat, then that combat engine should whip and ride like a pro. Think of how the classic Atari Star Wars Arcade aspired to a level of excitement beyond the technology. Remnant doesn't need that level of involvement or story, but it's screaming out for that same intense gameplay. Hopefully a sequel could leave this game out with the stardust.

One of the biggest rallying cries for how the Flames have improved over the season, at least in terms of their work ethic, has been the sheer amount of one-goal games they've taken part in this past season. In fact, the Flames played in 49 games decided by a goal, tying the NHL record.
But how did all these one-goal games come about? And what does the record really mean?
The Flames won 25 one-goal games. Splitting them up into third period scenarios, you get this:
- Twice, the Flames led by two after 40 and prevented a full comeback (but let them get close).
- Twice, the Flames led by one after 40 and shut down opponents in the third.
- Twice, the Flames led by one after 40 and scored enough to maintain the lead.
- Seven times, the Flames led by one after 40, blew the lead, but won in OT/shootout
- Four times, the Flames were tied after 40 and won the game outright in the third.
- Four times, the Flames were tied after 40 and won the game in OT/shootout.
- Most impressively, four times the Flames trailed by two after 40, but won the game (granted, three times that was in a shootout).
- Three times, the Flames led by one after 40 and blew the lead.
- Two more times, they blew the lead but lost in OT/shootout and at least got a point.
- Six times, the Flames entered the third tied and lost the game.
- Three more times, they lost in OT/shootout after being tied through 40 minutes.
- Three times, the Flames entered the third down by one and couldn't close the gap.
- One other time, they did close the gap but lost in the shootout.
- Four times, the Flames trailed by two and made it a one-goal game.
- One other time, they trailed by two, forced OT but lost.
- Once, they trailed by three goals after 40 and nearly came back to tie it.
A few take-aways.
- The term "blew the lead" appears too much here (12 times). One-goal leads were rarely safe for this group, which obviously needs to change. Multi-goal leads were rarer, but much safer.
- The team had mixed results when tied heading to the third: eight wins, nine losses (three in OT). Good teams win in the third.
- But hey, the team's "never say die" attitude is evident here: 10 comebacks from two-goal deficits, with half of them resulting in the team getting points (and the other five being a 27th-place team making it close).
In summation, the "49 one-goal games" record both praises and condemns the Calgary Flames. They had a lot of comebacks, but they also weren't fantastic with third-period leads.

Alexa Barchini
Monday, June 06
Alexa Barchini is a jazz vocalist, composer, and lyricist based in the Philadelphia area. Though initially attracted to mostly classical and pop repertoire, she was introduced to jazz. With a particular interest in the music of Brazil, her compositions fuse her deep love of jazz and jazz singing—rich harmonies, a capacity for story telling, and improvisatory freedom—with playful Latin-influenced rhythms and the warm, understated style of singers like João Gilberto. Of one of her most recent work on New York pianist Julian Shore's 2012 release, Filaments, All About Jazz critic Dave Wayne said, "Her voice is close-miked, soft and intimate, and conveys the feeling that she's sharing a secret that is just beyond one's grasp." She recently completed a Bachelor's degree in vocal jazz performance at Temple University in Philadelphia where she was lucky enough to study under the direction of Joanna Pascale, Dick Oatts, Bruce Barth, and Terell Stafford. Over the past few years, she has had the opportunity to record and perform with such artists as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Gilad Hekselman, John Swana, Wycliffe Gordon, and Terell Stafford, among others.

I originally wrote this article in July of 2012.
Today I'm totally rewriting it. I'm experiencing so much change in my life at such a rapid pace, my meaning of authentic life and authenic passion seems even more authentic today than it did 4 years ago. The meaning seems deeper and I wanted to share.
Are you living an abundant life? Do you have a career (this can be work outside the home, in the home or SAHM) that brings you you? Do your surroundings bring you joy? Are you happy the way you are currently living? If you said no, what exactly would create an atmosphere of joy, peace, and happiness in your life?
10 years ago I left a job I thought I would never leave. I felt burned out in my life, and after the unexpected death of a friend, I knew there was more to life than what I was experiencing. There really is more!
During this 10 year transition, I've created a few businesses, taken many classes and workshops, held a few more roles in my nursing career (some were good decisions and some weren't), and leaned a lot about myself. Learning what works and what doesn't work in your life is a huge realization!
(still working on updating this post, please come back later today)…

For the fifth consecutive year, Bruce Power has launched a scholarship program aimed at students pursuing post-secondary education in Bruce, Grey and Huron counties.
Students attending post-secondary school this fall can apply for one of 100, $500 scholarships. Students who are enrolled in a skilled-trade, college or university for the 2015/16 academic year are invited to apply when it opens on June 1.
Education opens so many doors for people and, as the region's largest employer, we feel a responsibility to encourage and support our youth in pursuing post-secondary education,
said Duncan Hawthorne, President and CEO, Bruce Power.
The scholarship program, which builds on existing Bruce Power commencement awards for Grade 8 and high school graduates, as well as two new scholarships for Aboriginal students, exemplifies the company's commitment to youth development and education. There are no limitations on areas of study and some special considerations are in place to ensure a broad reach and diverse group have the opportunity to reach their goals.

We hope that by providing an opportunity of financial assistance to eligible students in our surrounding communities, it will help to cover some of the rising costs of tuition,
Hawthorne said.
In 2015, Bruce Power will invest $100,000 in scholarships and commencement awards for students throughout our region. Learn more about Bruce Power's $500 scholarships. The application period opens June 1 and closes July 3 at 3 p.m.

Cooler Caribbean: Enjoying a tropical beach villa vibe – off the chillier coast of Cornwall
On a bright sunny morning in Tresco when a soft wind is rustling the palm trees and a turquoise sea is lapping lazily on white sand beaches, it's easy to imagine you're in the Caribbean.
On my first morning in the Isles of Scilly, I stood on my balcony gazing out over the sea towards the lighthouse and felt wonderfully relaxed.
The islands may lie just 30 miles off the Cornish coast – a very short helicopter ride from Penzance – but the moment you arrive, you're instantly a world away.
Laid-back: The white beaches and blue waters can make visitors feel like they are in more exotic climes
A 'sub-tropical paradise' is the usual brochure description. Hype? You might think so if you catch the stormy end of a weather system.
However, you won't need to spend more than a couple of hours walking or cycling around Tresco, or exploring the fabulous Abbey Gardens, before you can be sure that you're definitely in a holiday paradise.
Tresco's one notable deficiency has been a lack of outstandingly good accommodation. It used to have The Island Hotel, a place that reflected the Fifties – pleasant but fairly ordinary.
Now, the hotel has been demolished and in its place has arisen a splendid choice of self-catering properties, a new pool and gym and – most impressive of all in many ways – an excellent new restaurant: The Ruin Beach Cafe.
Tranquil: Sea Garden Cottages, in Tresco, have added a dash of quality to the Scillies' accommodation offering
Not only are the one-bedroom Sea Garden Cottages elegantly designed and smartly furnished, they are also available on a per-night basis: prices for dinner, bed and breakfast start at £185 per person per night; self-catering rates start at £150 per person per night.
Tresco may be small but it is a place with big ideas. The local shop, for example, has the feel of a smart London deli (with a nod to the supermarket chain, they ought to call it 'Trescos').
The Flying Boat Club, next door to the deli (and named after the First World War flying boat station that used to be here) boasts another good restaurant – and across the way is yet another swimming pool and gym, and an excellent health spa.
If you've never been to the Isles of Scilly, you haven't travelled. Start with Tresco and see what you've been missing.
Fantastic for families: A young visitor admires the spectacularly dramatic coastline of Tresco
For many people, the only time they get a glimpse of the Scillies is if they spot them from their high-flying jet, the merest dots when viewed from thousands of feet above. But in the days when international travel meant going by ship, many voyagers had a far closer and much more terrifying look at these islands than they wanted.
Lying close to major shipping lanes that connect the UK with its main trading partners, the Isles of Scilly posed a real nautical hazard.
One of Britain's greatest maritime disasters occurred in October 1707 with the sinking in stormy weather of four large Royal Navy ships, off the Scilly Isles, with the loss of more than 1,400 sailors.
One of the main attractions of Tresco Abbey Gardens is Valhalla, where you can see an extraordinary collection of figureheads and other artefacts from Scilly wrecks collected by the Abbey's former owner, August Smith.
A key element in warning sailors of the dangers of coming too close to the Scillies is the Bishop Rock lighthouse at the westernmost tip of the islands.
Patchwork: St Mary's is the biggest of the Scilly Isles and boasts 30-40 miles of coastal paths and nature trails
Listed in the Guinness Book Of Records as the world's smallest island with a building on it, the lighthouse marks the eastern end of the North Atlantic shipping route.
In 1986, Sir Richard Branson raced to Bishop Rock in the 72ft powerboat Virgin Atlantic Challenger, breaking the record set by the liner SS United States in 1952.
Sir Richard, however, is easily outdone in the Scilly celebrity stakes by the legacy of former Prime Minister Sir Harold Wilson, who famously had a holiday home on St Mary's and was frequently photographed around the island.
Such was his passion for the island that when he died in 1995, he was buried at St Mary's Old Church: his epitaph is Tempus Rerum Imperator (Time, The Commander Of All Things).
St Mary's is the biggest of the Isles of Scilly; the smallest of the five inhabited islands is Bryher, which lies to the west of Tresco and is the favourite of visitors keen to enjoy a quiet walk or an undisturbed spell on the beach.
Secluded: Bryher might be the smallest island but there is still a working community living here
War Horse author Michael Morpurgo comes to Bryher for extended stays and featured the island in several of his books.
To get the most out of your Scilly stay, visit as many of the islands as you can. Plenty of boat trips are available, including scheduled services from St Mary's Boatmen's Association (www.scillyboating.co.uk), or book a more personal trip on 12-passenger boat The Crusader (077482 43122).
For an exhilarating ride on a 'rib' boat, try www.islandseasafaris.co.uk. There are also bus tours of St Mary's, including a vintage tour bus called (www.islandrover.co.uk).
If you fancy cycling, either collect a bike from St Mary's Bike Hire on the Strand (07796 638506) or reserve a bike through www.bookabikeonscilly.co.uk and they will deliver it to your holiday accommodation for free.
Guided walking tours of the islands are also available. Resident ornithologist and naturalist Will Wagstaff runs Island Wildlife Tours (01720 422212, www.islandwildlifetours.co.uk), offering a daily walk either on St Mary's or one of the off-islands.
Archaeologist Katharine Sawyer (01720 423326) leads historical guided walks around St Mary's throughout the season.
Meanwhile, if you're wondering what the Isles of Scilly are like at this very moment, surf to www.scillywebcam.blogspot.co.uk and do as I'm doing now – look at a live streaming picture of Bryher, which for the moment is showing a small boat bouncing through the dappled sunlight of the gentle waves.
It could be an Impressionist painting by Monet, but it's all really there, waiting to be discovered off the coast of Cornwall.

Developed this 3D animation for Ganges Internationale proficiency in the cleaning of solar panels and other products.
Design and Production: The Imagine Studio
Project: Solar Panel Cleaning
3D Product Modeling:
The Imagine Studio has a unique product 3D modeling process which helps us in creating the best outline of the project. We understand the client's requirement and concepts. Then we do some deep brainstorming to gather some vital information. We combine our skills to gather information with client's requirement and come up with final idea
In Ganges Internationale's project of solar panel cleaning, we first enquired them about their requirement. We did some research on the project. Then we developed all the pre-required 3D Models like the surroundings, solar panel plates, dust particles, and cleaning material etc with the help of our 3d software and skills. We took approvals on all models before proceeding for animation.
The play-blast animation is the best method for approvals of animation to save valuable time before proceeding for final renders. Play-blast is a way of creating a preview for our animation. We developed the play-blast 3D Animation where it shows steps of solar panel cleaning. In the video, we showed how the dust particles get settled onto the surface of solar plates, we also showed how the performance of the solar panel gets affected due to all the dusts on it's surface At last we showed how cleaning mop cleans the surface of the solar panel and then its efficiency increases. The play-blast was sent to our clients for their confirmation.
Post-approval on play-blast animation our team starts work on real texturing/lighting on models/background as per script/client's requirement. Same procedures follow and still renders send to client for approval on still 3d renders before final animation renders.
After the approvals of the play-blast video from our client's end, we started working on the final texturing/lighting/rendering of the project. We added texture to the final product and gave the finishing touch to it. We delivered the project within the timeline.

Join us as Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, internationally acclaimed biblical scholar, TV personality and author, presents a free, one-hour webcast, in partnership with Our Sunday Visitor: The Origins of Israel and Ancient Rome.
We will explore how their different types of origin affected their cultural development over time. Having an understanding of their early stages of development impacts us, especially when we read Old Testament stories of conquest and other actions that scandalize us today. We will discuss Rome's eventual demise and Israel's rise to win over the Empire to its faith in the one true God and the Savior of Israel, Jesus Christ.
And you will have an opportunity to ask Fr. Pacwa questions in the Q&A session!

Records for Radioactive Waste Management up to Repository Closure: Managing the Primary Level Information (PLI) Set
IAEA TECDOC Series No. 1398
The objective of this publication is to highlight the importance of the early establishment of a comprehensive records system to manage primary level information (PLI) as an integrated set of information, not merely as a collection of information, throughout all the phases of radioactive waste management. The information presented in this publication will assist Member States in ensuring that waste and repository records, relevant for retention after repository closure, are generated, identified, reviewed and actively managed during pre-closure phases so that they are available and useable at the appropriate time. This publication addresses the establishment and management of the PLI set up to the point of closure of a repository. Specifically, it (1) describes the importance of establishing a coordinated, integrated and well-managed PLI set, (2) provides a basic overview of the components of a PLI set, and (3) provides general guidance on the management of and responsibility for the PLI set.

Offer No 2
Now only £995 + VAT with Alarmed Metal Cabinet , 3 free Defibrillator Location Signs & Free Paediatric Pads
Defibrillator comes complete with carry bag, training dvd and prep kit
The Zoll AED Plus Defibrillator is a semi-automatic device
The AED Plus Fully Supports the Rescuer
By focusing on the full Chain of Survival and providing Real CPR Help, the AED Plus is the first and only Full-Rescue AED.
"AEDs are easy to use, while CPR and the ABCs remain difficult to perform. Based on adherence to the Chain of Survival guidelines, however, those who used the ZOLL device performed significantly better than those who used the other devices."
Real CPR Help for Infrequent Rescuers When They Need it Most
A Complete Road Map for Resuscitation
A picture is worth a thousand words. The AED Plus' unique graphical interface " pictures combined with text displays and voice prompts " helps rescuers every step of the way. Lights on the pictures draw the rescuer's attention to actions in the proper sequence. Text and voice prompts correspond to the pictures and help the rescuer perform every important life-saving action. These pictures and prompts assure that everything is done in order, and that shocks, if required, are delivered rapidly.
One Electrode is Easier than Two
Ordinary AEDs require that the rescuer use two confusing electrodes. ZOLL's Full-Rescue AED features CPR-D padz, a one-piece, pre-connected pair of electrodes with Real CPR Help. By using CPR hand placement as the landmark, it is easy to place the CPR-D*padz on the victim quickly. The CPR-D padz also last five years – the longest shelf life of any electrodes sold today.
Intelligent Pediatric Capability
The ZOLL AED Plus can defibrillate children up to eight years of age, using the Pedi padz II electrodes. When the Pedi padz II are connected, the AED Plus recognizes that a pediatric rescue is in progress. With ECG analysis developed specifically for a pediatric heart rate, coupled with appropriate defibrillation energy levels, the AED Plus can handle both adult and pediatric rescues.
Only One AED Provides Real CPR Help
Interactive Feedback for Rate and Depth
Inadequate compression rate and depth are common during CPR. Adult victims need compressions at a rate of 100 per minute and at a depth of 11â"2 to 2 inches. Compressions must be done well to effectively move blood and oxygen.
ZOLL's Real CPR Help converts compression data instantaneously from the CPR-D padz and provides an adaptive metronome to help the rescuer with the proper rate and depth, saying "Push harder" or "Good compressions," as needed. It also shows CPR compression depth on the display. ZOLL's AED Plus is the only AED that can see your chest compressions and guide you to the correct rate and depth during CPR. No other AED provides Real CPR Help.
Consumer Batteries for Convenience and Savings
The AED Plus is the only AED to use inexpensive, consumer lithium batteries that are easy to replace and last five years in stand-by mode.
ZOLL's Rectilinear Biphasic Waveform
The ZOLL Rectilinear Biphasic waveform (RBW) is the only biphasic waveform cleared by the FDA7 to be labeled as clinically superior to monophasic waveforms for the conversion of ventricular fibrillation in high-impedance patients. It allows the AED Plus to deliver more current than any other AED when it matters most.
(G5R) Guideline Compliant Incorporating. "Real CPR Help"
"The ZOLL AED Plus Supports the Full Chain of Survival Best."
"The ZOLL AED Plus Improves CPR Performance the Most."
With more than 20 years of experience in defibrillation, ZOLL is a pioneer in resuscitation solutions. ZOLL develops technologies to help advance the practice of resuscitation. With products for pacing, defibrillation, circulation, ventilation, data management, and fluid resuscitation, ZOLL provides a comprehensive set of technologies that can help clinicians, EMS professionals, and infrequent rescuers resuscitate sudden cardiac arrest and trauma victims.

A question that`s been on the minds of Illinois baseball observers of late has been the recent domination by southern teams in the Class AA state tournament. Edwardsville`s victory over Joliet Catholic in last June`s title game made it four straight for Downstate teams.
Are there really better baseball players down there? Or is it just a blip on the screen?
``I think the Chicago-area teams knocking each other off in (the playoffs) has something to do with it,`` said Fenwick coach Dave Hogan. ``As far as our regional goes, whoever comes out alive comes out with a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

May 8, 2016
ONTARIO, Calif. – Matt Hackett stopped all 29 shots he faced for his second career AHL postseason shutout, as the San Diego Gulls beat the Ontario Reign 3-0 on Sunday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena. The Reign lead the best-of-seven Pacific Division Finals two games to one, with Game 4 coming up on Friday night in San Diego.
Kalle Kossila, Nick Ritchie (power play) and Jaycob Megna (empty net) scored the goals for San Diego (4-3 in the postseason), as the Gulls rebounded one night after an overtime loss on home ice to claw their way back into the series.
"Our guys were calm and cool on the bench," said head coach Dallas Eakins. "Like all season, we've been a resilient group. The group is strong, and they weren't rattled by being down two-nothing [in the series]."
The story, for the second straight night, was the brilliance of Hackett in net. After stopping 42 shots on Saturday night only to fall in overtime defeat, the Gulls' goalie was perfect on 29 shots Sunday. Over the weekend, Hackett saved 71 of 73 shots faced, a .973 save percentage.
"We needed that game, and the boys did a great job competing and battling," said Hackett. "In the playoffs, if you're all competing and pulling the same rope, you're going to have results."
"The guys played great, and the shutout was a bonus."
The Gulls' first goal came from a rookie on an amateur tryout (ATO) from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, Kalle Kossila. An offensive zone far corner cycle between Kossila, Ondrej Kase and Antoine Laganiere developed into a scoring chance as Laganiere curled the right circle. His pass through the slot connected to Kossila's forehand as the rookie drifted backward to create space, beating a leaping Peter Budaj over his blocker arm for a 1-0 Gulls lead at 18:27 of the first.
A tense second period saw no scoring, with the Reign outshooting the Gulls 13-10. A late period penalty on San Diego's Chris Wagner for high sticking allowed Ontario to start the third with a power play. It was an eerie callback to the night prior, when Wagner was in the box to start the third and Kris Newbury scored a power play goal to tie the game. This time, San Diego's penalty kill was up to the task and the game remained 1-0 Gulls.
Later in the frame, Ontario defenseman Jeff Schultz was whistled for crosschecking, and the Gulls gained their fourth power play of the night. As the advantage was about to elapse, a right wing slap shot by Brandon Montour hit the pads of Budaj and found the stick of Nick Ritchie, who was net front to slide home his fifth playoff goal and build out the 2-0 lead at 8:18.
The Reign pulled Budaj for an extra attacker with 3:39 to play, but the strategy backfired when Jaycob Megna flipped a puck from well inside his blue line all the way down the ice and into the vacated net for his first goal of the season, and a game sealer at 16:49.
In an alternating games format, the series now returns to San Diego's Valley View Casino Center, where Game 4 will be waged on Friday, May 13 at 7:05 p.m.
NOTES: The power play score for the Gulls snapped a streak of nineteen consecutive penalty kills by Ontario to start the 2016 Calder Cup Playoffs…Ritchie's goal tied him with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's Daniel Sprong for the league lead in playoff goals (5)…Ondrej Kase, Chris Mueller, Montour and Laganiere all earned solo assists…Hackett's last shutout came in 2011, when he helped backstop the Houston Aeros to the Calder Cup Finals…San Diego played without starting goalie Anton Khudobin (upper body) and top-line center Mike Sgarbossa (lower body) for the third straight game, while forward Corey Tropp (illness) missed his first game of the playoffs.
1st Star: SD Matt Hackett (shutout, 29 saves); 2nd Star: SD Nick Ritchie (1-0=1, 2 SOG); 3rd Star: SD Kalle Kossila (1-0=1, 2 SOG, +1 rating)

Republican presidential candidate Gov. John Kasich slammed Sen. Ted Cruz in Wednesday night's debate for being willing to shut down the government to defund Planned Parenthood. But Kasich previously loved government shutdowns.
Kasich said that there are ways for governors to defund Planned Parenthood in their own states, but he strongly criticized the idea of a government shutdown. Kasich said that a shutdown would not accomplish anything and would only inflame people against Republicans. Kasich cited his own efforts to balance the budget, as House Budget Chairman in 1995 under Speaker Newt Gingrich, as an accomplishment that could be made without shutting down the government. Kasich said that Republicans "went around the president [Clinton]" to balance the budget.
But Kasich's attack on Cruz rings false, because he was part of a Republican shutdown effort in 1995 that helped lead to the adoption of GOP budget priorities.
Kasich praised his own shutdown efforts in his 2006 book "Stand For Something" (pp. 86-87).
"In 1995 when the Republicans won the majority I became chairman of the House Budget Committee," Kasich wrote. "We were poised and ready to balance the budget for the first time since man walked on the moon."
"As it happened, Pres. Clinton wanted to phony up the numbers on this first go-round, so we shut down the government," Kasich continued. "I look back and think it was one of the greatest moments of my career. Why? Well, typically, politicians make their decisions based on votes. And yet in at least this one instance politicians set aside these concerns and stood up for what was right. For our children. For our shared future. For America."
"For this one battle, for the time being, we forgot about politics and focused on good government, and if we had to take a beating for it then so be it," Kasich added. "And as a direct result of that government shutdown in 1995, we wrote a bill that provided for the first balanced budget in nearly forty years and allowed us to pay down the largest chunk of our staggering national debt in the history of this country."

Our involvement in the international Pearl market has included attending international pearl auctions held in Hong Kong, Indonesia and Japan. This interaction with world leaders in the pearl market has lead to opportunities for expanding our pearl inventory to include loose Tahitian Pearls. These pearls are extremely high quality and come in a range of various dark colour shades, peacock greenish tinges and metallic silver.
Tahitian Pearls generally come in larger sizes than the Akoya Pearls as the warm waters around the Tahiti Islands provide environmental conditions which allow the Pearl mollusc to grow the Pearls at a faster rate. Sizes from 12mm to 14mm are common for Tahitian Pearls while Akoya Pearls generally are not larger than 10mm.
Our buying power at international Pearl auctions allows us to provide Tahitian Pearls to our customers at very competitive prices. Included in our online store is a selection of high quality select Tahitian Pearls. For more varieties of Tahitian Pearls you are invited to contact us with your enquiry.

Step 1 To FEEDing Your Brain For Positive Change
In his book "Rewire Your Brain," John B. Arden, PhD, describes four steps to creating positive change in your life. He's given the acronym F.E.E.D. to these four steps. Today we'll explore the "F" in F.E.E.D., which is "Focus."
To initiate positive change, learn a new skill, develop a positive habit, or even break out of an old rut, you first need to direct strong attention to what you are doing. Think of attention as energy. If you feed a behavior with strong attention, it will grow. Whatever you focus on increases. This applies to positive experiences as well as negative ones.
Strongly focusing your attention activates the Pre-Frontal Cortex, the frontal lobes of your brain, which are like your "Mission Control Center." The PFC coordinates the functioning of the rest of your brain, so that everything works together. Your PFC brings the various capacities of your brain together on the task at hand and creates a neural network from the various brain regions, pathways, and neural connections that are involved.
Strongly focusing your attention is qualitatively different from "just going through the motions" or doing one thing while you're thinking about another. It is being engaged in what you are doing right now. Paying attention in this way requires that you are interested and giving undivided energy to it. When you are present in what you are doing, you initiate the neural encoding of whatever you're focused on—be it new information, skills, or behavior, or conversely, negative thinking, feeling, and bad habits. Remember, whatever you focus on increases.
So, strongly focusing your attention on what you truly desire is step one. Through it you open the neural pathways to having new and better experiences. And not only that. If you strongly pay attention to routine behaviors and skills, you bring more of your brain into play so that you add consciousness, breadth, and depth to your experience. Your life becomes richer by being present and paying attention to where you are, who you're with, and what you're doing. Conscious presence within your experience also creates the possibility of making choices about where and how you focus your attention.
In tomorrow's post, we'll talk about how to build on the richer, more conscious, experience that you've initiated in step.
Talk to you soon,
Kevin Schoeninger

Kittery police are searching for a man who robbed a clothing store at knifepoint Tuesday, ordering employees to the back of the store then emptying the register.
A man wearing a black ski mask entered the Osh-Kosh Outlet store on Route 1 at 6 p.m. and announced he was robbing the store.
Witnesses described the man as about 5' 8" tall, medium build, blue eyes with wrinkles at the corners. He was wearing a black fleece jacket with ripped jeans.
He demanded the location of the safe and ordered a clerk to open the registers before leaving with cash. There were no injuries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Kittery police at 207-439-1638.


text: The reason for the alarm? The request mentioned government mandates and subsidies, which have driven wind and solar energy's growth, as possible drivers of reliability concerns. The industry lobbyists are right to be sensitive. Despite constantly touting the rapidly falling cost of wind and solar, industry growth over the next decade depends on mandates and subsidies.

What Makes a Quarterback Successful
The first was the deep passing style used by Daryle Lamonica, a.k.a. The Mad Bomber, with the Raiders when I started covering them in 1967. Lamonica had a very strong arm and he was, somewhat unbelievably, more accurate on a 40-yard pass than a 10-yarder. He fit perfectly into the style that Al Davis had brought with him from the San Diego Chargers, then coached by Sid Gillman. Originally, Gillman had used that with the Los Angeles Rams in the '50s, and it was spectacular with Norm Van Brocklin and Bob Waterfield throwing to an excellent receivers corps led by Elroy (Crazy Legs) Hirsch.I
Davis believed that, if you reached the other team's 40, you went for the end zone immediately. He reasoned that it was easier hitting on a 40-yard pass (if you had a Lamonica throwing it) than hitting on a shorter one inside the 20, when defenders had much less area to cover.
That style also worked well in the AFL of that day because teams generally played man-to-man coverage but the defensive backs weren't very good. (The Raiders were an exception in 1967-68 because they had Willie Brown and Kent McCloughan, before McCloughan tore up his knee in 1968.)
Needless to say, it was very exciting football, especially enjoyable for me because the Raiders seldom lost – only four regular season losses in my first three years on the beat.
Because of that experience, I believed in the long passing game until I met Bill Walsh, when he was named Stanford football coach in 1977. Talking to Walsh over lunch that day, I realized he was far ahead of the curve. After his two successful years at Stanford, I pushed him for the 49ers coaching job. You know the rest of that story.
Walsh believed in short passes which gave receivers a chance to run for additional yardage. One extreme example: John Taylor caught two short passes from Joe Montana and turned them into 90- and 92-yard touchdowns in a game against the Rams. That system was perfect for Montana because he could not throw long – he may never have thrown a 50-yard pass in his career – but he was very accurate on shorter throws. Gillman and Davis had not worried much about interceptions, feeling that an interception on a long pass was almost like a punt – but Walsh hated to see his quarterbacks throw interceptions. And, in his system, they seldom did.
Walsh also benefited from rules changes in the NFL. Earlier, a receiver running across the field would get leveled by a middle linebacker – Davis always had receivers running sideline routes or very deep ones, never across the field in linebacker territory. But in the '70s, to promote more offense, NFL rules makers greatly limited linebackers from knocking down potential receivers.
Montana learned Walsh's system quickly and became the starter late in his second season. Steve Young struggled to learn it, mostly because he'd picked up bad habits with his first two teams, the L.A. Express of the USFL and the Tampa Bay Bucs, but when he learned the system, he set Super Bowl records in the last 49ers Super Bowl championship.
With that background, I was surprised to hear beat writers complaining in 2006 that Alex Smith wasn't throwing many deep balls in practice. Of course, none of them were old enough to have covered Montana or they'd have known that isn't the most important part of a quarterback's game now.
The chipping at Smith continues, even though he has the Chiefs in position to make the playoffs, despite many key defensive injuries. The game he played against the Raiders on Sunday was typical Smith, no interceptions, taking what the defense gave him, throwing short, accurate passes that went for long gains, a 70-yard touchdown among them. Walsh would have been proud.
Of course, many of the same writers who have criticized Smith loved Colin Kaepernick when he burst on the scene with spectacular plays, some with his arm, some with his feet.
But the longer he plays, the more holes show up in Kaepernick's game. Defensive coaches have found ways to counter him and he has become more and more frustrated. He's not a quarterback. If he is willing to switch to running back, he could have a good NFL career. If he doesn't switch, he'll be out of the league by 2016.
By which time, Smith will be starting his 11th season and doing fine, except in the eyes of sportswriters who don't really understand the game.

Headshot tips for business Look
Actors, please see : Headshot tips for actors
outdoor headshots and the weather
Share your intentions for the session. Let us know what kind of look you want and where the photo will be seen.
Drink lots of water and be well rested (so your eyes will not have dark circles).
Do not drink alcohol or take any drugs directly before or the night before your shoot (so you are not dehydrated). If possible, do not smoke cigarettes directly before your shoot.
What to wear - Anyone:
Wear clothes that are comfortable and that make you look great.
Make sure your jacket and shirt fit you well. A poor fitting jacket or shirt will be obvious in the photos.
Don't overdress.
Turtlenecks are almost always a bad idea (since they crowd the face).
Clothes should be neatly pressed and should look new or like new.
Avoid busy patterns and large lines/stripes.
Blue/green/turquoise shirts/blouses or accents can help emphasize blue/green/hazel eyes.
OUTDOOR HEADSHOTS and the WEATHER
Natural light photography, and outdoor headshots are really popular right now, and it's possible to shoot out doors at almost any time of the year if you prepare for the shoot with the weather in mind. I can shoot outdoors unless the weather is extreme. If it's too windy, rainy, well below freezing or unbelievably hot, it may not be possible but there are tricks to get by in the in-between times, because let's face it, in New York the weather is rarely perfect.
Winter Cold:
long underwear can be handy! If you can wear long under wear under a pair of jeans, even if it's not super cold outside, this can make it easier to stay out a little longer and make it possible to wear a top that would other wise make you to cold. Gloves are good too. In a headshot we rarely see the hands so having a pair of gloves will make an out door shoot on a chilly day a little easier for you. Camisole for the ladies. If you can find a camisole or tank top that works under a couple of different tops that you were hoping to wear, it will not only add a layer to fight off the cold, it will make it much easier to switch outfits during the out door headshot session. Also, since a headshot can just be head and shoulders, you can take your winter coat down just out of the frame and stay pretty warm.
Windy days are hard on hair:
This is for those who have long hair and are hoping for an outdoor shoot on a breezy day. Load up on the hairspray. Even if you never wear hairspray day to day, we would use a good amount even in an indoor shoot, but if you wanted to do an out door shoot and it is a little breezy, if you layer on the hair spray so it stays together and is a little heavier, it will help a lot. Even if it feels nasty it will look great in the shots, and then you can always go home an give you hair a good wash.
The heat of summer:
Wear shorts and flip flops, whatever is coolest. Unless you want a 3/4's shot or a full body shot it doesn't matter what you are wearing on the bottom half. This will make it possible to wear a top or shirt that would otherwise be to warm on a humid Summer day in NYC. Also drink lots of ice cold water.
What to wear - Men:
The standard business look is a suit jacket, dress shirt and tie
A casual business look is often a jacket and open dress shirt, shirt and tie (no jacket), or dress shirt on its own
Polo shirts are a good look for some businesses. Be sure the shirt is in good condition and fit well
For a no-jacket casual look, bring colored shirts ideally darker than your skin tone.
A white dress shirt by itself is a bad idea unless you plan to wear it underneath something (jacket or sweater).
Bring a few different jackets, shirt colors and ties so we have choices for the photo.
What to wear - Women:
Avoid big prints and busy patterns
Different necklines will change the apparent shape of your face. Bring a variety different shirts/blouses to see what works best.
For a no-jacket casual look, bring various colored blouses ideally darker than your skin tone.
REMEMBER: Select and wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Select something that makes you look good.
Keep jewelry extremely simple small is better.
Avoid jewelry that would distract from your face or that looks dated.
The picture is about your face not your jewelry.
Be prepared to remove facial piercings or multiple ear piercings.
What to bring:
Your previous headshots (so we can improve).
Various changes of clothing (see above).
Good attitude.
Lip balm.
Hair brush/comb.
Makeup and hair products you prefer (especially if you have allergies).
Arrive with:
Hair styled and makeup already applied (if not using makeup artist).
Already dressed in first outfit.
Hair and Makeup Tips:
Make-up should be clean and natural
Wear a heavy layer of translucent powder your face will appear flawless in photos. Shine disappears, pores seem smaller, skin looks even, and blush is smoother.
Line lips before applying matte lipstick, then reline. Don't overdo it. Dip a cotton bud in powder and run along lip line to prevent color from bleeding
Avoid shimmers or products with lots of sparkle or shine
Avoid frosts or garish colors.
Don't get a new hair cut just before the shoot (you may want to let it grow-in a bit or get used to styling a new cut).
Do not try/use any new product on your hair, face or body the day before or few days before your shoot. In case you have a bad reaction to the product.

We discuss linear methods for interpolation, including nearest neighbor, bilinear, bicubic, splines, and sinc interpolation. We focus on separable interpolation, so most of what is said applies to one-dimensional interpolation as well as N-dimensional separable interpolation.

At some point in time, you might have thought of doing something which the coming generations would remember. The same way our ancient civilisations not only did so but also succeeded in their doings. Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia were the birth givers to so many things that are a part of our daily life today. The World owes an innumerable number of discoveries to the most innovative civilisation of Sumerians. Starting from the invention of what most of us hate the most, i.e. mathematics to the instruments of weaponry, they brought it all. So let's dig in further to know what wonders have their minds did. 1. Fabrication of Copper Copper was the earliest non-precious metal that came to use by the Sumerians. Somewhere in [&hellip
The ancient Egyptian civilization has its roots in approximately 3000 BC. It lasted until 30 BC when it became part of the Roman Empire. The duration itself shows that the civilization was provided with all the necessary things, such as natural environment and the river Nile, water, fish, fertile soil, plants, but also with rich architecture. Building the pyramids had to include measurements, materials, mathematics etc. When we speak about Egypt, many things could come to your mind. First, the beauty of Cleopatra. Or maybe the glorious mask of Tutankhamun. Some of you think about the pictorial writing system known as hieroglyphs, which they used. They were found carved and written on many different surfaces such as papyrus, stone, wood etc. As you can see, [&hellip
Mesopotamians were very religious kind of people. Owing to their multiple civilizations, they had same deities with different identities and names. For example- Ishtar, the Goddess of Procreation was known as Inanna among the Sumerian people. Similar to her were other goddesses as well. Throwing some light upon the Mesopotamian mythology here is a list describing different Goddess that made to the Mesopotamian pantheon. 1. Ereshkigal or Irkalla- The Goddess of the Underworld In Sumerian mythology, she was considered as the queen of the land of the dead. She is called as Irkalla in the same way Hades is called in Greek Mythology as both the ruler and its territory of the underworld. In the pieces of literature, she is known to be Ninkigal which means [&hellip
Rome has been a subject of mystical stories relating to its origination and legendary Gods. These have been represented in the works of visual arts and literature. Ovid has been the master of giving the Latin myths and legends a physical form. Romans have always believed in supernatural elements which are reflected in their beliefs. Heroism is considered to be the most common and important theme in these stories. The legends deal with the power of morality and politics. From founding myths to the legends of divine law, Rome has them all. Here is a list of some famous mythological and legendary stories which you must have a look upon. 1.The story of Romulus and Remus According to Roman Mythology, the story of these twin brothers [&hellip
The Ancient Greek events have played a significant role in framing the groundwork of Classical and Modern Greece. The Archaic period in Greece saw different political and geographical developments. The greatest war of all the times; the Trojan War, the composition of earliest surviving Greek literature; The Iliad and The Odyssey, the invention of Olympic games, and many such events circumscribe the boundaries of ancient Greece. The flurry of development of the Archaic Era was followed by the period of maturity known as "Classical Greece". Where the events in the Archaic time were purely artistic, the Classical Era moved towards a more naturalistic approach. Listed below are some major events which throw light upon the structures, developments, and tragedies that took place in the bygone age of Greece. 1. Beginning of Mycenaean Period- 1600 [&hellip

Failed potato box...again
Last year I tried potato boxes, but the plants all died. (post here http://singlemompreparedness.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-failed-potato-experiment.html)
A helpful reader told me I needed to dry the grass before putting it on. I still loved the idea of growing so many potatoes in a small space, so I tried again. Drying the grass seemed to work. The plants grew big & beautiful. I added grass, until I had 4 foot tall boxes with big beautiful plants on the top.
October came, & I decided to dig out the grass & see what I had.
Very disappointing! Out of the whole box, this is all I got! And they were all at the soil level, none in the grass like was supposed to happen. And they are probably smaller than if I'd just let the plant grow short & put the energy into the potatoes!
I've had many people tell me they've seen this work with tires. And I've seen more than 1 gardening video tell me you can grow potatoes in straw or grass. So I don't know why this didn't work. Very sad! There is one thing to be grateful for though! That I didn't discover this when I was needing to feed my family for the winter with what I'd grown. I can head to Kohlers today & buy 50 lbs of potatoes for $7. So I'll do that this winter. Guess next summer I'll have to try the old fashioned way! Unless anyone has a brilliant suggestion?

Re: FRA
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 09:25:27 -1000
Message-Id: <BF13E2C0-05A4-4C16-926E-5628DD4A07F0_at_bluegecko.net>
I guess I am a pretty big fan of using the FRA in 10.2 and 11.x for backups. Configured correctly, it eliminates the need to write scripts to manage and delete old archivelogs and backups, since the oldest files get deleted to make space for new files when the FRA reaches 100%. With backup optimization on, the subsequent backup from disk to tape via a MML is greatly reduced in size. Overall, it replaces a lot of home-grown scripting and management we have all developed over the years. You don't have to mark anything obsolete or delete via RMAN if it is configured correctly. Set up right, it is "Self-managing."
My biggest complaint about the FRA is that you cannot archive directly into compressed backupsets. So if you use the FRA as your log_archive_dest_n, the archivelogs can take up comparatively more space than database backups.
