FOOD SOURCES FOR SPRING CREEKS (part 4)
Midge (Diptera) undergo a complete metamorphosis like caddis. Hence the term emerger, which we often use for mayfly hatch stage, may not be appropriate in the scientific and taxonomical senses.
However, for spring-creek anglers the term is commonly used. We mean:
1. Pupae that are ascending to and reaching almost the water surface
2. Midge adults that are leaving (or struggling to leave) their pupal shucks.

Hi my fellow TAYers! How are you today? Topic...topic....
Here's something strange. My mother has started Facebook stalking a reality TV person. (I can't call him a star. That's giving him to much credit.) It's really pathetic though. On a picture of him and his castmates, she wrote something about how handsome he was, but how she didn't understand why the other people were famous. (They're all on the same show!)
Anyway, I was thinking about who I could even stalk like that and I came up with Squall from FFVIII. And mostly because I though that was hysterical. He'd be all mopey and brooding and I would try to cheer him up and give him advice. You know, what Momma Dams does.
So, who's page would you follow? Or because this is really a silly topic...
If you don't want to talk about this, feel free to talk about anything!
And Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have great weekends!

A year ago I moved my site from a local New Zealand host back to the WordPress mothership. The goal was to make life simpler. That worked: at least for now.
The move wasn't technically difficult, there are things to watch:
- Permalinks. These are not customisable with wp.com. You're stuck with the WordPress format. I've no idea if this is good or bad for search engine optimisation. I don't care.
- If you worry about search, the trick is to switch format a couple of weeks before making the move, otherwise Google gets confused. I started on this path, but the rest of my preparations went so quickly the new format was only in place about five days before the switch.
A year later Google Webmaster Tools tells me traffic is still looking for those old format links. The lesson here is if you think you may switch to WordPress's host in the future, start using the permalink format now.
- I moved the domain name. There was no control over the time this happened, it happened at 11pm so I was effectively offline for about nine hours – this may not bother you. I don't know how many people saw a dead site, in those days it would have been around 100 visitors. Any damage is fixed now. Another time I'd need to rethink how I'd do this.
- I paid extra for WordPress.Com's custom design and used my own twenty ten child template. It didn't look great, so I had to switch to a new template – this was the trickiest part of the process and I still don't have it perfect. A year later I've shut all the custom stuff down and have a stock WordPress theme. Dammit, this is THE stock theme. People come to my site for words – I can use pictures to make it look better.
- Originally there was zero flexibility over the iPad and smartphone templates – this was almost a deal breaker for me. A year on and the problems are largely solved thanks to a responsive theme.
- There are a few minor irritations. Mainly lack of design flexibility. I wanted a simpler life, so I'll just have to put up with them.
- On the plus side, the .com site is seven times faster than my hosted site, requires almost zero maintenance, has barely gone offline in a year, gets more accidental traffic and is free. The downside is I'm less in touch with WordPress coding – something I think journalists ought to get used to. To get around this I've built a couple of other sites.

Watering the Tulips
November 28, 2012
"This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church" – Ephesians 5:32
It would serve our readers well to read this entire passage (Ephesians 5:22-33). To many, this verse will seem out of place. However, the verse before us today is the key to understanding this entire passage about marriage.
The bond of marriage is far more than an agreement between a man and wife to love one another for the rest of their lives. Perhaps if this were the only purpose, one could understand the flippant attitude of many towards the institution in our day and age. But our text verse makes marriage a far more serious venture when rightly understood. Simply, the relationship between a husband and a wife is to be a picture of the relationship of our Lord Jesus and His Bride.
Notice the instructions to the wife in the passage before us. "Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything" (vss. 22-24). What a high calling! Ladies, your part of the marriage relationship is to represent the Lord's Bride to all who see you. Take note of how your marital instructions parallel the instructions to the Lord's churches.
If the instructions to the wife weren't enough, notice the instructions to the husband. "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church…So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church" (vss. 25-29). Men, before all onlookers, you are to represent our Lord in the marriage relationship. This is seen plainly in the passage before us.
After these instructions, the Scripture says, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh" (vs. 31). You see, when two people enter into the marriage covenant, they are agreeing to more than to stay together "'til death do us part". They are agreeing to properly represent the relationship between Jesus and His Bride. Is there any wonder why God hates divorce (Mal. 2:16)? When a man and woman break the marriage bond, they destroy the picture of Jesus and His Bride who will never be severed.
If only our generation realized the seriousness of marriage. Men, just as Christ gently led by love, so you are to do. Women, just as the early churches committed to follow, so you are to do. In all that you do, remember the picture that others are to see from your marriage. If we seek to do this daily, our marriages will thrive just as the relationship between Jesus and His Bride will eternally thrive.

Why NOT Make Olympic Uniforms in China?
Patriotism, it has been said, is the last refuge of scoundrels. Indeed, with 86% of the American public disapproving of Congress' performance, refuge‐seeking politicians have wrapped themselves in the flag to denounce the fact that the U.S. Olympic team's uniforms were manufactured in China.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D‐Nevada, said he was "so upset… they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again." House Speaker John Boehner, R‐Ohio, clucked of the Olympic committee at a news conference that "You'd think they'd know better."
To prevent such abominations in the future, six Democratic senators plan to introduce the "Team USA Made in America Act of 2012" next week. According to co‐sponsor Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D‐New York, the legislation will mandate that "(f)rom head to toe, Team U.S.A. must be made in America." (The U.S. Olympic Committee announced Friday that it was too late to remake the uniforms for the London Games, but said the U.S. clothing for the 2014 Winter Games would be made in the U.S.)
Perhaps the Beltway crowd can be forgiven for scoring some easy political points in election season, and the "scandal" will eventually burn out. But of greater concern is the lack of aptitude for basic economic and trade realities demonstrated by our leaders' remarks.
Trade is not a competition between "our producers" and "their producers." In fact, U.S.-based firms benefit from collaborating with foreign firms by carving up the production process into distinct functions and processes that suit each location's efficiencies and strengths. Just as trade enables U.S. consumers to benefit from lower‐cost final goods, globalization enables U.S. producers to benefit from access to lower‐cost resources put into the manufacturing system. That enables them to compete more effectively at home and abroad.
In the typical production supply chain for consumer products, of which apparel production is a good example, the higher‐value, pre‐manufacturing activities like designing, engineering, and branding, and post‐manufacturing activities like marketing, warehousing, transporting, and retailing happen in the United States, while the mostly lower‐end manufacturing and assembly activities take place abroad. In the end, the final product is a collaborative effort, with the majority of the value accruing to U.S. workers, firms, and shareholders.
So, what exactly is un‐American about Chinese‐made Olympic uniforms? Nearly half of the clothing in America's closets is made in China, and almost all of the rest is made in other foreign countries. With a very few exceptions, we simply don't cut and sew clothing much in the United States anymore.
But we design clothing here. We brand clothing here. We market and retail clothing here.
The apparel industry employs plenty of Americans, just not in the cutting and sewing operations that our parents and grandparents endured, working long hours for low wages.
Could Ralph Lauren — the brand atop the long, integrated supply chain that takes apparel ideas from conception all the way to the consumer — have forgone use of the Chinese factories that do most of the brand's cutting and sewing operations and, instead, contracted with U.S. factories for the Olympic uniform project? Yes, probably, but at significantly higher cost. Still, that change would have had to be a custom request of the private funders of the Olympic team, who — unlike the Congress — might have felt obligated to stay within budget.
Besides, the implication that producing several hundred uniforms in the United States would fix the national employment problem is humorous. Maybe it would have created a few dozen jobs for perhaps a few weeks, but not much more than that. Far more jobs would be created from the one extra day of certainty that would be afforded by Congress deciding today, as opposed to tomorrow, what the 2013 tax rates were going to be.
If you are still not convinced of the folly of our policymakers' objections, consider this: As our U.S. athletes march around the track at London's Olympic stadium wearing their Chinese‐made uniforms and waving their Chinese‐made American flags, there is a good chance that Chinese athletes will have arrived in London byU.S.-made aircraft, been trained on U.S.-designed and -engineered equipment, wearing U.S.-designed and -engineered footwear, many having perfected their skills using U.S.-created technology.
Our economic relationship with China, characterized by transnational supply chains and disaggregated production sharing, is more collaborative than competitive.
The nature of that relationship is inherently beneficial to American consumers and the economy at large; despite the alarmism emanating from the halls of power, trade is not a win‐lose proposition. Politicians should butt out and let the "competition" play out in the pools, tracks and playing fields.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney had his facts wrong when he blasted Attorney General Eric Holder last week for launching an investigation into past CIA interrogation techniques, an administration official asserted Monday.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has repeated his defense of enhanced interrogation techniques.
Holder's decision to review waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques was politically motivated, Cheney claimed in remarks broadcast on "Fox News Sunday."
Cheney made clear in the interview, conducted Friday, that he believes that President Obama directed Holder to launch the review in response to pressure from left-wing Democrats.
But the administration official, who asked not to be identified, said, "the attorney general made a determination independently, based on the facts and the law."
The official also objected to Cheney's statement that "the president is the chief law enforcement officer in the land."
"That's not true," the official replied. "It's the attorney general."
During his Fox interview, Cheney repeated his defense of the effectiveness of what are called enhanced interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding.
The techniques "were absolutely essential in saving American lives and preventing attacks on the United States," Cheney said. "I think they were directly responsible for the fact that for eight years, we had no further direct attacks on the United States."
In response, the official noted that a recently released 2004 report from the CIA's inspector general concluded that "the effectiveness of the enhanced interrogation techniques are hard to measure."
The official highlighted a page from the report stating, among other things, that "measuring the effectiveness of EITs, however, is a ... subjective process and not without some concern."
The official also noted a separate conclusion in the report that "the effectiveness of particular interrogation techniques in eliciting information that might not otherwise have been obtained cannot be so easily measured."
The official also took issue with Cheney's assertion that a new interagency group tasked with overseeing terrorist interrogators will spend the bulk of its time deciding "who gets to ask what question and who's going to mirandize the witness."
"Mirandizing" refers to the process of informing an individual of his or her rights under the U.S. Supreme Court's 1966 Miranda ruling.
The primary goal of the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group will be intelligence collection, not law enforcement, the official said.
The group will be based out of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which, according to the official, currently mirandizes less than 1 percent of detainees.
"That will be the same practice" with the new group, the official asserted.
CNN's Elaine Quijano contributed to this report.

Review Fujitsu is pitching its latest Windows 7 tablet directly at the enterprise and business markets. That's a wise move because Windows in its current form is never going to hold a candle to iOS and Android Honeycomb in terms of consumer usability. It also means Fujitsu can load the Q550 down with tricks and treats and not worry too much about the impact on the price.
The business in hand: Fujitsu's Stylistic Q550 Windows 7 tablet
For your 800 quid you get a 10.1in 1280 x 800 IPS multitouch screen, a 62GB SSD, a 3G modem, an Intel Atom 1.5GHz CPU with 2GB of RAM, Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and some other less expected goodies that I'll come to later.
It's not a bad looking box of tricks either. It's more smart than stylish, and despite the all-plastic case it feels very solid. Indeed it should weighing in at 860g with the optional 4-cell battery. Check the sides and you will only find one USB socket to accompany the HDMI port and an SD card slot that will completely swallow said card.
Dedicated buttons avoid fiddly touchscreen tasks
Tucked away around the back there is a smartcard reader and fingerprint scanner to secure those corporate secrets ...or your pr0n stash. There is also a docking port at the bottom but the charging cradle it is intended to dock with is an optional extra. It will set you back around £40 but it does come with four extra USB ports.
The is no wired connectivity on-board, but you do get Bluetooth 3.0 and the Ralink 802.11n Wi-Fi card will work at 5GHz as well as 2.4GHz. Equipped with two microphones, as well as front and back cameras, it makes a more than decent communications device.
The battery can swapped out - note the Smartcard reader on the right
A selection of physical buttons are marshalled down the right hand side - power, keyboard launch/enter, screen rotate, wireless enabler and CTR ALT DEL screen lock. Having that amount control at your fingertips is a good thing, but the buttons are on the small side and their actions a bit nebulous, so using them isn't as easy as it should be.

Attracting Butterflies: ID Cheat Sheet
Love attracting butterflies to your backyard? Take notice of these flying flowers —they're pretty incredible!
Watching butterflies flitting about in the backyard never gets old. Yet with hundreds of species out there, it can be hard to figure out just what's what. Experts know a few tricks, though. Think of this as your butterfly ID cheat sheet.
Look for Color, Size, Shape
Butterflies come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes, so make a mental note of these characteristics when you spot a species you don't know. Even better, take a photo so you can look it up later on.
Some butterflies have wing shapes or marks that you'll start to recognize by family. The skippers, for instance, have small wings, while the longwings have narrow wings, and the commas and question marks have "punctuation" on their wings. It's relatively easy to spot the distinctive monarchs, swallowtails and admirals, but see if you can identify the sexes by their slightly different markings, or the variations based on region.
Attracting Butterflies: Location and Habitat
Region and habitat are also important identification tools. Few species are found across the entire continent; some have very limited ranges.
Type of habitat matters, too. It's easy to confuse a pipevine swallowtail with a similarly colored red-spotted purple—unless you know that the former prefers sunny fields and open woodlands and feeds on flower nectar, while the red-spotted purple lives deeper in the forest and feeds on fallen fruits, sap and even dung and carrion.
Butterfly vs. Moth
Here's another question to ask: Is your "butterfly" really a moth? Many moths are drably colored, but that isn't a foolproof ID because some are just as colorful as butterflies. The boldly spotted leopard moth is often mistaken for a butterfly. The sea-foam green of a luna moth and the yellow and pink of an io moth can also be confused with butterfly wings.
Here are some more reliable differences. Generally, butterflies are active during the day, while the majority of moths are nocturnal (with some striking exceptions). Moth antennae are either feathery or threadlike, while butterfly antennae are smooth and end in a small knob. Finally, butterflies fold up their wings over their bodies while resting. Moths, on the other hand, usually fold their wings down alongside their bodies.
Caterpillars and Host Plants
It's important to remember that all butterflies start out life as caterpillars. Like the winged adults, caterpillars vary widely in appearance from species to species. Identifying the caterpillars in your garden will tell you which butterflies you can expect to see. Pay attention to which plant your caterpillar is eating. Each species can feed only upon a limited number of plants, so knowing the host plant is a big clue.

Please assume that $G/S$ is an abelian scheme if it helps.
Let $G/S$ be a commutative group scheme and let $(\Omega^\bullet_{G/S},d)$ be the algebraic de Rham complex. Let $\omega\in \Omega^r_{G/S}(G)$ be an invariant r-form. Is it true in this generality that $d\omega=0$? Is there a reference for such a fact?
By ulrich's answer below the statement is true whenever 2 is invertible on $G$. But what if $G$ has points of characteristic 2?
I'm trying to understand the proof of the degeneracy of the Hodge-de Rham spectral sequence for abelian schemes from Berthelot-Breen-Messing, Théorie de Dieudonné cristalline II, specifically Lemma 2.5.3. In its proof they say "Comme les différentielles invariantes sont fermées[...]".

It's amazing how people can make use of the space they're given. In the heart of a city, you can find an urban oasis in someone's tiny backyard, while a sprawling property in the suburbs could be totally unappealing. It's about how much time you're willing to put in, and the few minutes you spend reading this article might be the best investment you make towards a beautiful landscape.
While it may be tempting to have a solid cover installed over your out door space, it is a much better idea to install shade bars that are open. Less of the area will be covered, since there is open space, but it will allow more heat to escape so that you will be cooler.
Test your soil before beginning your landscaping project. This way, you will know what has to be put in or what has to go, and you can work on these things prior to planting. This will ensure a successful and thriving garden.
Build the optimum landscaping by creating a garden that shines no matter the season. Select plants that offer visual appeal in summer, autumn, springtime and winter. Evergreen trees and exotic tree species with notable foliage can also help preserve your landscape's year-round appeal.
Plant companion plants in your garden. These plants naturally work together to help each other repel pests and diseases. This can help you to have a healthier garden without the use of pesticides. You can find a lot of information on companion plants through a quick Internet search.
We all dream of having a home which is appealing from all angles, but many people don't know where to start. This article has given you the information you need to figure out what you need to do, how long it will take and how much it will cost. Start drafting your plan and building your dreams, today.

Olympic great Dorothy Hamill withdraws from 'Dancing with the Stars'
Skater suffering with pain from cyst on her back
A "Dancing with the Stars" contestant eliminated herself from the competition Tuesday.
Olympic great Dorothy Hamill gracefully bowed out of the competition to focus on an injury she says could be irreparable.
She'd been dealing with weakness and numbness in her ankle due to a cyst on her back, and it became too difficult and dangerous to dance.
"Surgery is sort of the last option, and I will see my spine surgeon and we'll access it from there and, you know, it's something that if I don't take care of, I'll have permanent foot, leg, nerve damage. So, it's rest," Hamill said.
Hamill started strong. In Week One, she and partner Tristan MacManus were near the top of the judges' leaderboard. But this week, with her health affecting rehearsal time, they fell to the bottom.
"It just breaks my heart to not be around, but it's not fair to everyone so getting better is, you know, is something that just is going to take some time, and I guess that's the priority," Hamill said.

Easy Bedroom Fix - Night Stand and Bedhead in One
I have looked for yonks. but I can't seem to find night stands for our bedroom that I'd be happy with. They are often too bulky and have too much or too little storage. They are too low or too high and end up taking too much space on both sides of the bed. I have tried so many different options and looked everywhere for perfect pieces, but with no luck. Now I have finally found a solution: a shelf above the bed that works not only as a night stand but also as a bed head. And it takes no floor space! I'm really happy with this simple and ridiculously low-cost fix!

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and build a castle out of mothballs. LET'S GO!
SPORTS SHOW WITH NORM MACDONALD – 10:30PM (Comedy Central) Norm MacDonald has his own show again! YAY! I actually spent a week in Los Angeles helping write the pilot for this show (which will never air because it's no longer timely), so I can give you a bit of information on what Norm's new sports version of "The Daily Show" will entail. Norm's set is going to be all digital, as it is on "Tosh.0". The opening of the show will feature Norm doing lots of jokes, as he did masterfully over at SNL when he was the "Weekend Update" anchor. There will also be a handful of field pieces from various sources, including possibly the folks at Good Neighbor. Most importantly, the show will be current, unlike "Onion Sportsdome," which is bizarrely evergreen. So enjoy. Norm is a very funny man. You're in good hands. ANTICIPATION: WILDE!
DEADLIEST CATCH – 9:00PM (Discovery) America's favorite crabby crabbers are back for another season of getting washed off boats and talkin' salty. Two new captains are aboard this time around, and I don't trust that Crunch fellow. ANTICIPATION: CRABS!
JAMIE OLIVER'S FOOD REVOLUTION – 8:00PM (ABC) Really, Jamie Oliver? You're still trying to get Americans to eat well? Your appetite for punishment far exceeds ours for fried mink rinds. Anyway, watch as Jamie tries to get a bunch of LA schools to not serve their students horrible crap. ANTICIPATION: NUGGETS!
BRAXTON FAMILY VALUES – 9:00PM (WE) Toni Braxton and her sisters star in this new reality show. And if you've ever seen the "You're Making Me High" video, you know there's nothing wrong with staring at Toni Braxton for half an hour. ANTICIPATION: SHE NAMED HER KID DENIM!
TOYA: A FAMILY AFFAIR – 10:00PM (BET) Lil' Wayne's ex-wife gets her own reality show. It was part of the divorce settlement, I imagine. ANTICIPATION: TOYARIFFIC!
Tuesday Watch List: The Inside Scoop On Norm MacDonald's New Show
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and build a castle out of mothballs. LET'S GO!

Fuchs: There's something wrong with Blair. He's locked himself in his room and he won't answer the door to me or anyone. So I took one of his notebooks from the lab.
MacReady: Yeah… and?
Fuchs: Listen: "It could have imitated a million life forms on a million planets. It could change into any one of them at any time. Now, it wants life forms on Earth."
MacReady: It's getting cold in here Fuchs, and I haven't slept for two days.
Fuchs: Wait, there's more… "It needs to be alone and in close proximity to a life form in order for it to be absorbed. The chameleon strikes in the dark."
MacReady: So is Blair cracking up or what?
Fuchs: Damn it, MacReady! Listen! "There is still cellular activity in these burned remains. They're not dead yet!"
In 1978, John Carpenter put himself on the map with "Halloween", a low-budget horror film that went on to become a major financial hit and a bona-fide horror classic. After doing two projects for television (including "Elvis", which would star future frequent collaborator Kurt Russell), he returned to the big screen with 1980's "The Fog". "The Fog" was another hit for Carpenter. It grossed more than $21,000,000 domestically on a budget of just $1,000,000. He followed that with yet another hit, "Escape From New York". With a $6 million dollar budget, "Escape" saw a $25 million return.
"Halloween", "The Fog", and "Escape From New York" had each been made independent of the Hollywood studio system. But in 1981, he would go to work for Universal Studios, directing "The Thing".
Several years earlier, Turman-Foster Productions had proposed the project to Universal. The intent was always to make a film more faithful to the original story (John W. Campbell's 1938 novella "Who Goes There?"), as opposed to remaking the 1951 Howard Hawks/Christian Nyby film "The Thing from Another World". Out of caution, however, the studio acquired the rights to both the story and the original film. They also lobbied to keep "The Thing" involved in the title for publicity purposes.
Producer Stuart Coen had gone to USC with John Carpenter, and wanted to involve him on the movie right from the start. Both were fans of the '51 film and the original story, and had spent a good deal of time at school discussing them together. They had both seen the movie when they were young, and it had made quite an impression on them. Seeking out "Who Goes There?" later, though, they were each impressed with the atmosphere of paranoia involved in the story as opposed to the Frankenstein's monster quality of the film.
This was prior to "Halloween", however, and Universal didn't want to go with an unknown. Instead they pushed the producers to choose someone they had under contract. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" director Tobe Hooper wound up with the job. However, after a couple of attempts. Hooper and writing partner Kim Henkel failed to submit a satisfactory script.
In fact, even after Hooper left the project, producers had difficulty getting a satisfactory script. Writers didn't seem interested in dealing with the mystery and suspicion… the treatments they kept receiving focused on the more overt monster movie elements. Without a script and without a director, the project fell dormant for a couple of years… until 20th Century Fox scored a hit with "Alien" in 1979.
By the time "Alien"'s success spurred Universal to resurrect "The Thing", Carpenter had made a name for himself, and was offered the helm. He didn't want to write the screenplay, though, so the search for a screenwriter continued.
The producers turned to Bill Lancaster (son of Burt), who had written the script to "The Bad News Bears". Lancaster wasn't initially thrilled with "Who Goes There", but eventually latched on to the heart of the material. He decided to emphasize the paranoia aspect to an extreme degree. He wanted to push the fear and paranoia to the point where the mistrust made it immaterial whether the monster was alive, or where it was, or if anyone was actually the monster at all, the men would be the biggest threat to themselves.
This was what the producers had been wanting to hear all along. Production could finally begin.
A number of actors were considered for the lead role of MacReady. Initially Carpenter was reluctant to work with Russell as his lead again, and as friends, Russell actually consulted with Carpenter as to who he thought might be good in the role. Inquiries were made regarding Jeff Bridges, Christopher Walken, Nick Nolte, Kris Kristofferson and Sam Shepard, but all either had scheduling conflicts or turned the project down. Producers met with Tom Berenger, Fred Ward, Ed Harris, and Scott Glenn without filling the role. Australian actor Jack Thompson ("Breaker Morant") was flown in to read for Carpenter.
The part finally went to Russell, however. It would mark the third time in Carpenter's last four projects that Russell would be the lead (and they would collaborate twice more for a total of five films made together).
With the script and star in place, it was time to focus on production. A camp for the exterior shots was built in Stewart, British Columbia, close to the Alaskan border, in order to guarantee snow. The temperature ranged between 0 F and -15 F during shooting. The indoor shots would be shot on refrigerated stages in Los Angeles. Ironically, LA was in the midst of a heat wave during the three months of shooting, creating some awkward changes in temperature for the parka clad cast as they made their way to and from the sets in 90 degree heat.
It was the special effects, however, that would provide the biggest hurdles. In the days of practical effects, Pre CGI, just how they would accomplish the desired shots was a challenge. Rob Bottin was in charge of special effects, fresh off of his first lead role on a special effects team on "The Howling". Prior to that he had worked with famed special effects guru Rick Baker on "King Kong", and was part of the crew for Carpenter's "The Fog".
He was 22 years old.
At the end of production, he would require hospitalization for exhaustion.
Bottin worked with the storyboard artists (notably comic book artist Mike Ploog) in order to create the ghastly incarnations that the creature (who supposedly could turn into a multitude of forms) would turn into. Bottin's team of illustrators, sculptors. painters, and mechanical effects technicians grew to over 40 members.
Over the course of that year, he and his team utilized every conceivable technique available at the time in order to achieve the creature effects. Hand puppets, marionettes, radio controls, wires, hydraulics, and pull cables were used to achieve motion. The gore came from heated bubble gum, strawberry jam, mayonnaise, cream corn, gelatin, and food thickener. Creatures were made of metal, urethane, fiberglass, foam latex, rubber and KY Jelly. Cameras were over-cranked, under-cranked, shot upside down, and in reverse, trying anything they could in order to make the monsters look strange.
The special-up effects budget for The Thing was initially $750,000, but that number would double to $1.5 million as the production went on. Bottin would work on "The Thing" for over a year – from April, 1981 to late May, 1982. He was working round the clock and sleeping on the Universal lot. Reportedly he was living on a vending machine diet, as well. Upon the project's completion he checked himself into a hospital and stayed for two weeks in order to recover from the stress and fatigue.
At the end, the special effects' successes and failures helped shape the film itself. Certain effects which could not be achieved forced scenes to be dropped or rewritten, while some of the outrageous ideas the team came up with were worked into the film, such as the severed head which sprouts spider's legs.
But as bizarre and disgusting as the special effects turned out to be, it was the way the monster effected the people in the film that turned the movie into such a classic.
A dog is chased into an Antarctic research camp by a helicopter, and shot at by the 'copters apparently unstable pilot. The research team is forced to kill the man, as he seems to be firing indiscriminately. After, however, they fly back to the Norwegian base he hails from in order to investigate and or inform people there of what happened, and there they find the base in shambles, with a victim of apparent suicide and a charred carcass of something strange outside.
They soon discover its nature. Not far from the Norwegian base, they find a downed UFO. Soon after returning to their base, they encounter something foreign attacking their dogs. They realize that they're dealing with an entity from another planet, who crashed here countless ages ago, and was unearthed by the Norwegian team. Now, the creature can assimilate lifeforms that it touches, and then imitate them after they've been consumed.
The team also realizes that any one of them could have already been killed, and replaced by this creature.
What unfolds is a tale of paranoia, suspicion, and mistrust. Once the team realizes that some of them may not be who they appear to be, doubt, fear and anger creep in. People lose it. Members of the team who wander off alone or were thought to be in contact with the creature are questioned. Threatened. Imprisoned and bound. Drugged. At one point, killed.
The cast, which also featured Wilford Brimley, Keith David, Donald Moffat, and Richard Masur, do a fantastic job of portraying unraveling men. Fraying sanities.
It's the ultimate case of "how do I know you're who you say you are?" as the team tries to figure out a method for determining who's human and who's not. Some way to be sure… to force anyone who's actually the monster out in to the open. By the time they devise a blood test to isolate those who have been replaced, it's practically too late. Their numbers have already dwindled to less than a handful.
Slowly, the situation turns hopeless as the losses mount. The weather outside is inhospitable, their vehicles have been disabled. They have no means of communication. And the creature is still after them one by one. It all draws to one of them coolest, bleakest endings in film as the team's priority shifts from staying alive to making sure the Thing dies.
Sadly though, "The Thing" was not received well.
It opened June 25th, 1982 (the same day as "Blade Runner" and two weeks after "E.T.") and went on to gross a mere $3.1 million its opening weekend. Its total domestic take was $19,629,760, which barely eclipsed its budget of $15 million.
Critics were harsh on it as well, calling it out for its excessive use of gore.
It was not nominated for any Academy Awards.
It has, however, turned into a cult classic. It's widely praised by horror aficionados as a classic of the genre, and embraced by pop culture as a great film. It's found its way onto the IMDb Top 250 (#145). It was given a prequel/remake in 2011, but fans readily cite the 1982 version – made 20 years prior – as superior.
It's a film that, due to its fantastic script and great cast still stands the test of time, in spite of effects which to today's eyes may occasionally come across as dated. Those moments will be easily overlooked. What will stand out is the fear, the paranoia and the suspense.
It's definitely a "Movie That Everyone Should See".

Former child star Gary Coleman died today after suffering a brain hemorrhage, officials said.
The 42-year-old "Diff'rent Stokes" actor, who had slipped into a coma and was on life support as a result of an intracranial hemorrhage, died just after noon today surrounded by family members at the Utah hospital where he was admitted Wednesday, according to hospital officials.
"Family members express their appreciation and gratitude for the support and prayers that have been expressed for Gary and for them," the hospital said in a statement.
U.S. & World
Coleman had been in and out of consciousness Thursday afternoon, officials said, and was later put on life support as his condition rapidly worsened.
Coleman's brother-in-law told gossip website TMZ.com that Coleman sustained an injury to his head during a fall.
Later Friday, the brother-in-law, Shawn Price read a statement on behalf of Coleman's wife Shannon.
"We are very grateful for all the wonderful support everyone has been extending to Gary's family. Thousands of e-mails have poured in to the hospital. This has been so comforting to the family to know how beloved he still is. Information as to his funeral arraignments, as well as information surrounding his passing, will be released shortly. Thank you for so much for all that you guys have done, and for the support and prayers that you guys have given us," Shawn Price said.
Shannon Price and Coleman met on the set of the 2006 comedy "Church Ball" and married in 2007.
Actress Charlotte Rae, who played housekeeper Mrs. Garrett on "Diff'rent Strokes" told TMZ she credits Coleman with making her spin-off show "The Facts of Life" a success.
"He was the reason the show was a hit," she said. "I said a prayer for him this morning after hearing about his condition. Gary was so loving, so charming. He was the big star of the show."
The actor had two seizures that led to hospitalizations earlier this year and for decades had suffered from kidney disease nephritis that resulted in two kidney transplants and dialysis.
In addition to being plagued by health woes, Coleman had recent personal upheavals. He pleaded guilty in February to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge linked to an April 2009 domestic violence incident as his home.

Cycling the Line: Part Deux (La Voie de la Liberté)
It's official. Cycling the Line: Part Deux IS ON!
Longer, tougher and generally more painful than ever, Steve and I are dusting off the panniers and the padded shorts and will be getting back on the bikes for another gentle ride across a large chunk of continental Europe in order to raise a few quid for our service men and women: past, present and future.
This time we will be following La Voie de la Liberté (The Road of Liberty) – one of many routes taken by the Allies in 1944 after the successful sea-borne landings at Normandy in the summer of that year. This particular route is the one taken by General Patton of the US Third Army. It starts just inland from the Normandy coast and winds its way through France, into Luxembourg, and then up to Belgium, taking in the Ardennes, where it finishes at Bastogne. A total of 1,145km, or, in proper distance, 715 miles. (As a comparison the original cycling the line trek was 550 miles).
Steve and I met last week to agree on the route and put the wheels in motion, so to speak, on this next adventure. The minutiae are yet to be completely finalised, but here is the general gist: We plan to do the cycle ride over 15 days; 12 cycle days with 3 rest days thrown in so we don't kill ourselves. That works out to be an average of 60 miles a day for every cycle day. We will also be doing this trip a little bit earlier in the year, probably the last week of September/first week of October. This will mean it wont get dark at 4.30pm like it did when we went out last time – that was a real pain. Trying to cycle on main A roads in the pitch dark during evening rush hour was 'interesting' but not something either of us are keen to repeat again if we can help it.
It's all for charity
As last time, the whole point of us killing ourselves for 15 days is to raise a bit of cash for our soldiers. Last time we raise nearly £3500 – which was absolutely amazing. I wonder how much we can raise this time round? I know times are tough, but if you can spare a couple of quid then we would be incredibly grateful.
This year, our charity of choice is………. Help For Heroes. You can donate at our dedicated Just Giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/Cyclingtheline2
Thank you in advance!!

In Derby: Walmart could open in 2014
by Joseph Gresser
copyright the Chronicle 1-16-2013
DERBY — "Since Ames closed five years or so ago my vocabulary has consisted of two four-letter words — when and soon," said Brian Smith, chairman of the Derby Selectmen, Tuesday. "Now is a good word to use."
He was speaking a crowd gathered in a field just off Route 5 where, if all goes smoothly, a Walmart might open its doors in the fall of 2014.
The crowd included many local residents and a sizeable array of state legislators along with Governor Peter Shumlin.
All were there to cheer the announcement that after eight years of off and on discussion, Walmart, the Arkansas-based retail giant, plans to build an almost 150,000-square-foot Supercenter in the Northeast Kingdom.
The mood was upbeat. There were protestors on hand, but their signs were meant for the Governor and supported a wind tower moratorium.
Mr. Shumlin, though, was focused on the new store, which he said would complement other development planned for the Northeast Kingdom.
He pointed out Gisele Seymour, one of the project's biggest supporters. "Gisele gathered more signatures for the project than there are live people in the Kingdom," he joked of her petition drive.
"This is how we create jobs," Mr. Shumlin said. He said the project "fits into a mosaic of thousands of jobs for Kingdom kids."
Mr. Shumlin crowed that the Derby store would be a victory over New Hampshire, to which many Kingdom residents have traveled to shop for years.
"New Hampshire loses revenue. New Hampshire loses a few jobs and we gained them. It's about time we got smart," he declared.
Developer Jeff Davis built a Walmart in Williston and has begun construction, after a long battle with opponents, on one in St. Albans. He acted as master of ceremonies. He said that Mr. Shumlin had worked with him on the project but was not a "rubber stamp."
He said the Governor asked questions about the size of the store and the possibility of putting it in Newport instead of on the Newport-Derby Road. Mr. Davis said that a study conducted to determine the feasibility of a proposal to build the store in Newport floated by the Preservation Trust of Vermont (PTV), was conducted at the behest of the Governor.
The study determined that the PTV proposal to build a multi-story Walmart on Main Street in Newport was not economically sound.
Mr. Davis introduced and thanked Senator Bobby Starr for his longstanding support along with former Senator Vince Illuzzi, who missed the event.
Newport Mayor Paul Monette came in for special praise for his support of the project, as did Mr. Smith. "He's a household word at my house and my office. He's called and called and called," Mr. Davis said.
Alexandra Serra, who is from the public relations department of Walmart's New England office, said the new store will mean 300 more Walmart jobs in Vermont. She said the company will also increase its charitable contributions in the state, which, she said, currently amount to $500,000 a year.
Ms. Serra confirmed reports of a new policy by Walmart to offer jobs to any veteran who left the service with an honorable discharge in the past year.
She said that the new store will definitely include a grocery department with fresh food, but otherwise said plans for what departments the new store will include have yet to be finished.
After the brief ceremony, which attracted media attention from around the state, Mr. Davis discussed some of the details of the project.
The plans for the store, displayed on both sides of the podium, Mr. Davis said are just preliminary drawings. The actual plans will not be drawn up until Walmart has decided what it needs.
Mr. Davis said Walmart originally wanted to have a 180,000-to-190,000-square-foot store, but scaled it back at his request.
He said that Tuesday's announcement marks only the beginning of the process. Before the permitting process can get underway Mr. Davis said, there will need to be studies about the project's effects on the local economy, traffic and air quality as well as storm water and sewer studies.
Once those studies are complete, he said, he will draw up plans and begin the Act 250 and Derby town planning process. He will also start negotiating with local leaders about impact fees.
Agreements drawn up with Derby and Newport and ratified by wide margins in balloting in each town commit both communities to support Walmart in the permitting process.
They also promise to provide funds to the towns to mitigate any untoward impacts the project may have. Newport is to get at least $600,000 over six years. Derby's payments will be negotiated, Mr. Davis said.
There are still potential hurdles, Mr. Davis said, including the possibility that people may try to block the store.
Mr. Davis said, "This is a developer's risk project." If Walmart decides it will take too long or cost too much to build in Derby they can still back out.
Being at risk is no change for Mr. Davis. He bought the property between Route 5 and Shattuck Hill Road for about $1-million eight years ago. Last year he added more land to the parcel, investing another $600,000. He still has enough property to build several smaller stores near the Walmart, although Mr. Davis said he currently has no plans for the land.

How to Edit the Hosts File on macOS (Mac OS X)
Your Mac's hosts file is a small, but important text document that has the ability to map hostnames to specified IP addresses. Although the modern Internet uses a variety of public and private DNS servers to map IP addresses, the hosts file is a handy way to override those DNS servers, allowing you to manually point a website address to the desired IP address, or block access to a site altogether by pointing to an unused or internal IP address.
Here's how to edit the Mac hosts file on macOS (previously known as Mac OS X).
Edit Your Mac Hosts File with Text Edit
There are two primary ways to edit the hosts file in Mac OS X. The first is by using TextEdit since the hosts file is a plain text document. However, you can't open the file directly, since it resides in a protected area of the file system. Instead, we need to copy the file to an unprotected location, like the Desktop, edit it, and then copy it back.
To find the hosts file, open the Finder, which you can access by clicking on the desktop, the smiley face finder in the lower left of your screen, or by pressing command + spacebar + "Finder". Then follow these steps:
- Select the Go pull-down menu
- Then select Go to Folder from the menu
- In the box, enter "/private/etc/hosts" into the box
- Press Return
- A new Finder window will open and your Mac's hosts file will be selected, click and drag it out of the Finder window and drop it on your desktop.
To open it, simply double-click and it will display the file's contents in TextEdit (or the text editor of your choice).
Block IP Addresses
By default, the /etc/hosts file is relatively simple. It contains a number of lines of descriptive text which are "commented out" with the pound or number (also called a pound or hashtag) sign (#).
Any line that starts with a # sign is a comment and is not read by the /etc/hosts file. So comments are how you can add notes to your hosts file and comment out any lines that you want the /etc/hosts file to stop reading as entries but do not want to delete in case you need them in the future.
For each line, any text after the pound sign is ignored by the computer, making it a good way to add notes and descriptions to your files. It also contains default IP values for localhost and broadcasthost. To edit the file, you'll add your own lines after broadcasthost.
In addition to testing newly developed websites and web hosting migrations, another reason to edit the hosts file is to block access to specific websites.
In our example, we'll pretend that the computer we're using is a device that we want to use exclusively for work, not allowing ourselves to get distracted by Facebook on our work machine.
To do this, type the IP address you wish to assign, followed by two tabs and the hostname. In our case, we want to block Facebook so we'll map www.facebook.com to 0.0.0.0 which, as an invalid IP address, will result in an error.
Now, whenever we try to go to www.facebook.com from our Mac, the Web browser will fail to load the page, hopefully encouraging us to get back to work!
Reroute Web Addresses
Alternatively, you can enter the IP address of a valid site instead of 0.0.0.0, which will result in users attempting to access Facebook being directed to the site of your choosing.
To determine a website's IP address, you can use the dig command, which comes standard with macOS. To "dig" the site via Terminal, we simply open up Terminal and then run the dig command on URL, which will then return the IP address as output.
$ dig www.techjunkie.com +short
Note: The +short option keeps the output to just the information we need, which is the IP address.
Make note of the IP address that's returned and use it in your Mac hosts file mapping. For example, The New York Times website at www.nytimes.com returns an IP address of 220.127.116.11. If we map that to Facebook in our hosts file, any time someone using the Mac tries to go to Facebook, they'll see The New York Times load instead.
Note: Many websites won't allow you to map a domain name to the IP address currently mapped to the site so you'll get a security error when you try.
You can add as many entries to the hosts file as you wish by entering new mappings on each line. Once you've made your desired changes to the hosts file, save it in its current location on the Desktop.
Then, drag and drop the hosts file from your Desktop back to its original location at /private/etc. If you've closed the Finder window pointing to this directory, simply use the Finder > Go > Go to Folder command, discussed above, to reopen it.
When you drop the hosts file back in its original location, macOS will ask you what to do about the unmodified hosts file that's already there. Choose "Replace" and then enter your administrative user password to authenticate the transfer.
With the modified hosts file now in place, fire up your Web browser to test the changes.
Flush Your DNS Cache
In most cases, the new mapping should work immediately, but if you're not seeing the correct behavior, you may need to flush your DNS cache, forcing the browser to read from your hosts file to determine the mapping.
To flush the DNS cache on your Mac, open Terminal and use the following command (sudo enables you to run this command as the admin of your machine):
$ sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
Note: You will need to enter your admin password to execute this command.
To get your Mac to clear your DNS cache, then confirm it's cleared your cache by echoing a confirmation, enter these two commands separated by a semi-colon as shown here:
$ sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder;say DNS cache has been flushed
Edit Your Mac Hosts File In Terminal With Nano
The steps in the previous section are easy enough, but if you want to avoid copying the hosts file you can edit it directly in Terminal using the UNIX Nano Text Editor, which is built into macOS.
To get started, launch Terminal, type the following command, and press Return. As with all sudo commands, you'll need to also enter your admin password to execute it:
$ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
You'll now see the hosts file open in the Nano editor or vim or another editor of your choice. To navigate and edit the file in Nano, use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
Just as we did with the TextEdit method, above, we can add, edit, or remove hostname mappings at will. Because we launched Nano using sudo, any changes will be authenticated and saved directly to the original hosts file, without the need to copy it outside of its home directory.
When you're done making changes, press Control-X to exit the editor, Y to save, and Return to overwrite the existing hosts file.
As we mentioned earlier, make sure to flush your DNS cache if you notice that your new mappings aren't working properly.
Our examples mentioned blocking and redirecting distracting sites in a work environment but you can also use these steps to manually block access to malicious websites and, of course, other uses as well.
If you ever make a mistake and you're not sure how to fix it, you can always restore the default hosts file contents by using one of the methods above to enter the following default information:
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

— Edit;
— When warning appears about permitions, save as a COPY to your Documents folder;
— Copy (drag'n drop) the hosts file to "/private/etc/hosts" overrighting;
— Type the requested password (system admin/superuser).
That is all, folks @@)
Ping attacks..etc.
Come on, us developers use it to mock production environment for our apps running on localhost ofcourse.
Also what you are describing is bad coding practice, change that.
I have changed the host file etc and used the following to clear the caches
'alias clearcaches='sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache;sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches;say flushed'
when i ping the site it gives what is written in the hosts file – but when I go to it in a browser (chrome, safari, chrome canary) it does not use the address from the host file :(
I am at my wits end…!
I would like to recommend this page "Ad server hostnames for blocking ads (format: hosts — in hosts file format)" on http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/ which is keeping track of many of the advertisement hostnames. It can be a little tricky to find the correct format file, as the service offers lists in a lot of different formats. This one works for me on my OSX Mavericks mac mini: http://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=0&startdate%5Bday%5D=&startdate%5Bmonth%5D=&startdate%5Byear%5D=
When you paste the list into your hosts you maps any request to host to "localhost" (127.0.0.1) efficiently disabling "any"/many of the annoying advertisements shown on many sites :-)
Thanks for this page and the suggestions!
"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "hosts" can't be read or written.
(Error code -36)"
On the second method, using Terminal, I get this at the end:
[ Error writing /private/etc/hosts: Operation not permitted ]
Any ideas? I had edited this file before and it worked great but that was before i "upgraded" to Mavericks
Also, find the original host file, highlight it, press Command-I (or right-click Get Info) and make sure the "Locked" box is unchecked under General. Also, look under "Sharing & Permissions" and make sure your user account has Read & Write access.
Try those, and let me know. I'll keep looking for other solutions.

Giants catcher Buster Posey broke open the deciding game of San Francisco's divisional playoff series with a fifth-inning grand slam, giving the Giants a six-run lead and driving Reds starter Mat Latos from the game.
The home run was the deciding moment of the game that was filled with tension down to the last out.
Relief pitcher Sergio Romo called Posey's hit unreal. "That guy's definitely the MVP of our team. We believe he's the MVP of the league. We wouldn't be here without him, that's for dang sure. He's the one that's been the face of the team all season long," Romo said after the game.
"I don't think anybody gave up,'' Posey said of the team as they faced the tough odds of pulling off a sweep in Cincinnati.
The Reds would cut the lead in half by the end of the sixth, and in each of the last four innings had a chance to tie the game with runners on bases, but failed each time on the way to a 6-4 Giants win.
"We could go up against anybody at any time,'' shortstop Brandon Crawford said. "Being down 2-0 and coming back and winning three at their place, it's an unbelievable feeling.''
The win puts the Giants back in the National League Championship Series for the first time since 2010, when they won the World Series.
They will face either Washington or St. Louis. That series is tied 2-2 with a deciding game Friday. If the Cardinals win the Giants will have home field advantage and start the NLCS Sunday at AT&T Park. If the Nationals win, the Giants will fly to D.C. for a Sunday start on the road.
The Giants were poised to jump out to a first-inning lead against Mat Latos, but failed to capitalize on back-to-back singles by Marco Scutaro and Pablo Sandoval. Giants starter Matt Cain also struggled in the first, giving up a single to Zach Cozart and walking Joey Votto, before getting both Ryan Ludwick and Jay Bruce to go down swinging to end the threat.
Latos and Cain both settled down, each facing the minimum over the next two innings, with Cain overcoming an error at third by Sandoval and getting some help from Gregor Blanco, who made a diving grab of Cozart's sinking liner to left to end the third inning.
The game remained scoreless until the fifth, when Blanco poked a single through the left side of the infield to lead off the inning. Brandon Crawford followed, working the count to 2-0, forcing Latos to get a little more of the plate than he would've liked. Crawford pounced, ripping a triple into the right-field corner and scoring Blanco to put the Giants up 1-0.
Two batters later Crawford would come home on a high chopper to short by Angel Pagan. Cozart fielded it cleanly, but bobbled the ball on the transfer, putting the Giants up 2-0 with Pagan at first. A walk to Scutaro and a single by Sandoval loaded the bases for MVP candidate Buster Posey.
Posey rose to the moment, jerking a 2-2 fastball high into the Cincinnati sky. By the time the ball came to rest in the left field bleachers, the Giants were up 6-0.
Sam LeCure came on in relief of Latos, getting the last two outs of the inning, but by then the damage was done.
Despite a six-run lead, Cain faltered in the bottom of the inning, hitting the lead-off batter with a pitch and giving a up a single, to set the stage for a two-run double by Brandon Phillips.
The Reds chipped away at the Giants lead again in the sixth, when Ryan Ludwick hit a lead-off home run to make the score 6-3. Jay Bruce followed that with a walk, and the Scott Rolen drove a single to center to give the Reds runners on first and third with nobody out.
But Giants manager Bruce Bochy stuck with Cain, who was saved from further damage by a strike 'em out, throw em double play. Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan went down looking on a pitch that barely grazed the strike zone, and Posey gunned down Jay Bruce, who was heading for third.
It would be Cain's final batter of the game, as he gave way to George Kontos, who would get Drew Stubbs to ground out to end the inning, and preserve the Giants 6-3 lead through six.
The Reds threatened again in the seventh, as Ludwick came to the plate to face Jeremy Affeldt with two on and two out. Ludwick fouled off a number of pitches on his way to a full count, before tapping a weak grounder back to the mound which Affeldt scooped up and underhanded to Brandon Belt at first for the final out of the inning.
In the eighth the Reds would bring the tying run to the plate for the third inning in a row, and once again the Giants would wiggle free. Dioner Navarro came up with two on and two out to face Sergio Romo, and punched a duck snort to center field. But Angel Pagan came charging and took a knee to get low enough to slide his glove underneath the ball just inches from the ground.
The Reds would bring the tying run up yet again in the ninth, as Sergio Romo walked Cozart and gave up a single to Votto. Ludwick followed with a single that plated Cozart and trimmed the lead to 6-4.
Bruce was next, and battled Romo through a 12-ptich at-bat that ended with a harmless flyball to left, leaving the game and the season in the hands of Scott Rolen, who went down swinging on a 1-2.
The Giants rushed the mound where they hugged and huddled before a stunned Reds crowd. "It was a spectacular moment,'' outfielder Hunter Pence said.

Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and lightly grease and line the base and sides of a deep 22-23cm round loose-based cake tin with Bake-o-Glide or baking parchment (see overleaf). Beat the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, ground almonds and spices until thoroughly mixed and creamy, preferably with an electric beater or in a food mixer.
Measure off 100g/4oz of the cake mixture, put in a bowl and set aside. Fold the fruit and rum into the remaining mixture, then gently stir in the marzipan. Spoon this mixture into the prepared cake tin and flatten with a spatula to make a smooth even surface, then make a slight dip in the centre of the cake. This simple trick will give the finished cake a nice flat top. Bake for 11⁄4 hours.
While the cake is in the oven, make the fruit and nut topping. Mix all the nuts, cherries and syrup into the remaining cake mixture (see tip overleaf). Spoon the mixture on top of the part-cooked cake (once it has had its 11⁄4 hours), evenly distributing the mixture of nuts and cherries across the surface of the cake. Loosely cover the top of the tin with foil.
Return to the oven for 40 minutes more, then take off the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, so the nuts can turn golden. Keep an eye on them, so they don't get too dark. To test the cake mixture is cooked, insert a fine skewer into the cake – if it comes out clean then it's ready. Cool in the tin then turn out, keeping the lining on, and wrap with foil. (The cake will keep for up to 2 weeks or can be frozen for up to 2 months.)
To serve, remove the cake from the foil and strip away the lining. Place on a board or serving plate and tie with a decorative ribbon.
Recipe Tip
Icing drizzleIf your Christmas cake simply must have icing, try this easy finish. Put the Festive fruit and nut cake on a plate or cake stand. Sift 140g/5oz icing sugar into a bowl, then stir in egg white or cold water, a little at a time, until you have a smooth icing that drizzles easily from the tip of a dessert spoon. Drizzle over the top of the cake, then leave to set for an hour.

No. 17 Marquette routs Seton Hall, 67-46
Golden Eagles grab first place in Big East Conference
Vander Blue scored 19 points and No. 17 Marquette used a sizeable rebounding advantage to beat Seton Hall 67-46 on Tuesday night.
The win enabled the Golden Eagles (19-6, 10-3 Big East) to hold onto first place in the conference with their fourth win in the last five outings. The Pirates (13-14, 2-12) dropped below the .500 mark for the first time this season - their worst league mark in 29 years.
Marquette went on a 17-0 run over a 5:38 span of the second half, right after Seton Hall grabbed a 33-32 lead. The Golden Eagles used theirs size advantage to take control, with Devante Gardner (18 points) scoring eight during that span.
Blue is averaging nearly 16 points per game since scoring his career best 30 points in a win against South Florida Jan. 28.
Marquette outrebounded Seton Hall by a 43-24 margin.
Fuquan Edwin had 14 points and Aaron Cosby 11 for Seton Hall.
Marquette and Seton Hall traded the lead nine times during a closely contested and tightly played first half.
Seton Hall's biggest lead came after Kyle Smyth drained a 3-pointer with 13:40 left, giving the Pirates a 10-7 lead.
After the game was tied at 17-17, Marquette went on a 10-3 run to take a 27-20 lead with 49 seconds left. Jamil Wilson scored the final three points.
But the Pirates then scored the final seven points of the half in a span of just 22 seconds to tie the game again at 27-27. Edwin had a rebound basket, Aaron Cosby hit a 3-pointer, then Aaron Geramipoor made two rare free throws on a one-and-one with 0.4 seconds remaining, sending the two teams into the locker room even.
Trent Lockett hit a 3-pointer to give Marquette a 30-27 lead coming out to start the second half, but the Pirates then outscored the Golden Eagles, 6-2, to take a 33-32 lead on a layup from Tom Mayaan.
But Blue then took over for the Golden Eagles, hitting a driving left-handed shot off glass and following it up with a long corner 3-pointer, giving Marquette a 39-33 lead with 16:20 left. Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard was whistled for a technical foul as he called a time out, and Gardner hit one of two free throws, pushing the lead to 40-33.
Gardner then took over down low, scoring 10 of his team's 12 points, as the Golden Eagles took their biggest lead at 54-34 with 9:35 left on two free throws from Lockett. Wilson hit a long 3-pointer that pushed the lead to 57-34.
