Director Steven Herek said there were some scenes Mark did wear a wig.
For example, He was wearing a wig at the scene Chris and Emily were in the Church for practicing chorus of choir.
I heard that from DVD's director commentary.

I don't know about all of you......but i could have sworn that he had hair extentions. A matter of fact i think some others in the movie were wearing hair extentions as well. To me it looked so obvious that he was wearing hair extentions.

The answer is neither one. He had hair sewn to his real hair. He was a scared that if he had a wig on it might fall off during his running and jumping on stage. At the start and very end of the movie where you see him with short hair that is his real hair.

My explanation was not enough, and my English was also not good.
Director said that after Mark had cut his hair, they had to shoot some scene with his long hair, so he wore a wig with that scene.
In other part of the movie, as markymarklover1982 says, Mark had hair extentions.
Anyway, If you don't understand my English, or don't believe what I said, please check the DVD and listen the Director's commentary.

OK. I think of it this way. If he was in the middle of shooting the Perfect Storm and researching the stuff as possible. He wouldn't have time to grow it out on such short notice because he had short hair in the Perfect Storm. So that eliminates that he grew it out as long as it was in the movie when he had the long long hair. So he either wore a wig or hair extentions. So prolly he used hair extentions for when he was on stage and wore a wig when like when he was walking to the bus when that guy let Jennifer Aniston know that she could go on the bus and in the studio. But at the end of the movie he grew it out to that point.

Chain Reaction: Cracker Barrel
Of course we love our mom & pops, and our favorite burger joints around the country are pretty much all independently owned, but there are certain times in life—overnight layovers, hungover Sunday mornings, all-day shopping trips at the outlets—that the only options around are the chains. Chain Reaction is here to help you decide when to go for the burger, and when you're better off sticking with the chicken fingers.
Cracker Barrel
2150 Delk Road Southeast, Marietta GA 30067 (map); 770-951-2602; 588 other locations; visit crackerbarrel.com for list
The Schtick: Get your road-trip half-pounder plain...or with thick-cut bacon and Colby cheese
The Burger: Underwhelming patty and great bacon are a lost under a hard bun as tasty sourdough toast goes to waste in the kitchen
Want Fries with That? The steak fries are weak; sub a cup of soup instead or onion rings for an upcharge
Setting: Old-time general store, with tin signs and rusted farm tools around the stone-hearth fireplace
Price: Half-Pound Bacon Cheeseburger, $8.29
Perhaps no restaurant chain is more closely associated with the Great American Road Trip than Cracker Barrel. With 588 locations—all of them just off an interstate exit ramp—in 42 states, I'm not sure you could even plan a road trip without passing at least a few of them. Their ubiquitous billboards, telling you how many "miles ahead" the next location is, push big fluffy biscuits, down-home veggies, and warm peach cobbler. But I've never seen one spotlighting their burger.
Now I know why.
Cracker Barrel is a breakfast place to me, but buried in the lunch and dinner menu is the Half-Pound Bacon Cheeseburger: "Our half pound burger with Thick Sliced Bacon and two slices of melting Colby cheese. Served up on our Toasted Bun."
What's New On Serious Eats
Nothing earth-shaking, but what would you expect from a place that devotes almost as much square footage to its "country store" as it does to its dining room?
Well, actually, here's exactly what I was expecting:
A lousy picture, admittedly, taken with a crappy cell phone camera. But that's a Cracker Barrel Half-Pound Bacon Cheeseburger I got in summer 2009. While the patty is tough to spot and the cheese is far from "melting," the burger is clearly served between pieces of griddled toast. And, despite some initial misgivings, I loved it.
The winter 2011 version, while more photogenic, was a train wreck. (Or an overturned tractor-trailer, sticking with the road trip theme.) The bun was simply bad: dense, unforgiving, bordering on hard. The beef was cooked way beyond the requested "medium" and ultimately dry and boring. The Colby was decent; I could give extra credit for using a cheese not often seen in burgerdom. The bacon, befitting a "breakfast place," was easily the best part of the meal. The steak fries were thoroughly unimpressive, maybe even undercooked.
So pleasantly surprised in '09...and so flatly disappointed just 18 months later. I asked about the toast. Were buns new? "No... unless they messed it up," my server laughed. "They probably messed it up."
But I just couldn't let it go. I sent an email to Cracker Barrel Guest Relations. (Dwell on that for a sec. The chain known for rocking chairs, oversized checkerboards, and kerosene lamps on the tables actually has lightning-fast customer service in cyberspace.) The response I received stated, in part, "all other sandwiches are served on our sourdough bread," which can obviously be toasted. "You are certainly encouraged to request that [the burger] be served that way... at no extra charge." Nice to know it's still an option (although I don't recall making a special toast order in '09), but I learned my lesson.
On my next road trip, I'll still end up at a Cracker Barrel. But I'll play the golf-tee game, fill up on country-fried steak, stretch my legs in the general store, buy a sackful of retro candy for the road (Moon Pies in multiple flavors!) and save the burgers for another exit ramp.

Jeremy Piven majorly bailed out Mike Piazza recently when the Entourage actor scooped up Piazza's Tribeca penthouse, which the former baseball player had been trying to unload for three full years.
Piazza reportedly asked $6.2 million for the pad, but settled for the $4.58 million Piven was willing to shell out. According to the listing, Piven's new spread measures 6,000 square feet and boasts 40 windows that open to north, west and east exposures. The duplex penthouse loft is described as "muscular and voluminous" with three baths and a 1,200-square-feet private roof deck terrace.
Ironically, Piven's new home is smack dab in the middle of Tribeca, mere blocks from popular sushi spot Nobu. Piven better steer clear of Nobu and stick to his "muscular and voluminous" crib unless he wants another bout of mercury poisoning.

Innovators Break Stuff, Including The Rules: How Gates, Jobs & Zuckerberg Could Have Been Targeted Like Aaron Swartz
from the do-we-want-to-stamp-out-that-kind-of-innovation? deptIn a conversation with some folks in the tech industry recently, someone pointed out that nearly every super famous entrepreneur likely could have, at some point, been legitimately accused of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), which is the law that prosecutors used against Aaron Swartz, and is in desperate need of an overhaul. Over at the EFF, Trevor Timm has a great post exploring how Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg all might have faced charges under the CFAA. You should read the whole thing, but here are a few snippets:
On Zuckerberg:
In 2006, while a sophomore at Harvard, Zuckerberg created a website called "Facemash" which compared photographs of Harvard's entire population, asking users to compare two photos and vote on who looked better. Zuckerberg allegedly got access to these photos by "hacking" into each of Harvard's nine House websites and then collecting them all on one site. It's not clear what this "hacking" was, but since the charges against him included "breaching security," it may have fun afoul of the law.On Jobs:
Columbia Law Professor Tim Wu notes in the New Yorker that Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, did acts that were "more economically damaging than, Swartz's." The two college roommates made what were called "blue boxes," cheap devices that mimicked a certain frequency that allowed them to trick AT&T's telephone system into making free long-distance calls. They also sold blue boxes before moving onto bigger and better ideas.On Gates:
In his autobiography, Allen told the story of when the two future billionaires "got hold of" an administrator password at the company they worked at before starting Microsoft. The company had timeshared computers and Allen and Gates were getting charged for using them for their personal work.Of course, defenders of the existing law will argue that these episodes are entirely unrelated to the later greatness that all three of these folks were eventually involved in. But that's not actually supported by the facts. Facesmash almost certainly directly led Zuckerberg to Facebook. And, in the case of Steve Jobs, he specifically told an interviewer:
The two men used the password to access the company's accounts and set about trying to find a free runtime account so that they could carry on programming without having to pay for the time. They also copied the account database for later perusal. However, management got wise to the plan."We hoped we'd get let off with a slap on the wrist, considering we hadn't done anything yet. But then the stern man said it could be 'criminal' to manipulate a commercial account. Bill and I were almost quivering."
"Experiences like that taught us the power of ideas…And if we hadn't have made blue boxes, there would've been no Apple."Innovators innovate because they hack away at stuff. They push boundaries and they try new things to explore uncharted worlds. Do we really want to be punishing people like that with threats of 35 years in jail? (And, yes, the government absolutely did threaten him with 35 years.)

Barska's 2nd generation of Sniper Series riflescopes offers outstanding performance, impressive features, and rugged construction to make them an unbeatable deal. Sniper scopes are designed for high-resolution sighting of distant targets where precision is an absolute necessity. The multi-coated lenses of the Sniper Scope Series by Barska are flawless with perfect clarity for distant viewing and sighting of still and moving objects. The multi-coated lens also protects against the suns UV rays and enhances light transmission. An angled sunshade on all Sniper Series scopes helps reduce glare, giving the shooter a clear view anytime during the day.
Each Sniper scope comes equipped with an illuminated dual color reticle that can easily be switched from green to red. The green reticle is ideal for daylight targeting, whereas the red reticle is more ideal for low light situations, such as in the morning or evening. Each color has 5 different brightness settings, giving the user the ability to adjust the brightness of the reticle to the environment.
The impact resistant construction of the Sniper Series of scopes ensures that the lenses will not be loosened from repeated firing, nor will the scope lose its zero if bumped or dropped. The Sniper Series is also rated to handle the repeated recoil of large caliber rifles, and will hold zero shot after shot. The Sniper Series has been developed for use in military and hunting situations where targets must be sighted at a great enough distance to prevent danger to the shooter.
Every Sniper Series scope is dry nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed, which will prevent fogging inside the scope and offers waterproof protection. The Sniper scopes also come with a protective scope cap and a set of rings. Backed by Barska's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Yes. To help ensure that your shopping experience is safe, simple and secure, Rigby & Peller uses the industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This encrypts and protects the critically sensitive details you send us over the internet including your name, address and credit card details. This encryption ensures that nobody can read the information being sent between your pc and our website.
SSL technology not only encrypts information, it also assures your browser that your data is being sent to the correct and secure computer server and it also checks the data being transferred to ensure that it has not been altered in any way.

If you are enrolled in the Visa Secure or Mastercard Secure programs, you will also need to enter your password to complete your transaction.
Has my payment been accepted ?
After you have successfully closed your checkout phase, you will receive an order confirmation email.
However, this is not confirmation that we have successfully processed your payment. For credit and debit card payment methods, it may happen that we do not obtain payment authorization from your bank. Usually, the denial of a payment authorization occurs within 1 working day from the time you placed an order. If payment authorization is denied, we will cancel your order and inform you via an automated mail.
Why has my payment been rejected ?
There are a number of reasons this may have occurred so you should carefully check the details you have entered and try again. Remember, the Invoice address you enter must match the address that your bank or credit card issuer has on record for you, otherwise your transaction may be declined by our Payment Service Provider even if your bank has authorized payment.
We do not take payment from you until the goods are despatched, however the funds will be reserved in your account at point of order so you may still see this on your bank statement even if we have not received payment. If the payment is rejected it will take approximately 4 working days for this authorisation code to drop off and release the funds again.
If you have checked and entered your details again, please contact either your card issuer or our customer services team for help. Do not enter your details multiple times as this may prevent your funds from being released for other transactions.

My order has not arrived what should I do?

Beat the Streak Report: Tuesday, July 5
The so-called "BTS Report curse" strikes again.
Just one day after sharing some of his deepest, darkest secrets with the rest of Streakland, season leader jonroy73 (a.k.a. Jonathan Roy) saw his 40-gamer go down flames Friday thanks to Paul Konerko's 0-for-3 against the Cubs.
While the six-week run won't net Mr. Roy the $5.6 million grand prize, he still sits in the catbird seat for Streak of the Year honors, as well as the envy and admiration of all his fellow streakers. So worth it, right?
Since bclark2779 also saw their streak go sideways at 36 contests, jero07 reigns as our new current leader at 32 games. Just think, a few more correct picks and they'll be eligible for a BTS Report personality questionnaire of their own. Bet you can't wait!

I forgot to make a pick Sunday while riding a 3-streak. It could have been worse (a longer streak), but it still makes me sick!
That sucks, I know what you mean though. I've done that before when I thought I had a pick in and logged on later only to find out I lost a 6 gamer because of it.
It'd be nice to receive a "BTS Report personality questionnaire", meaning I'd be in the mid-30s or 40s. But I'd have to respectfully decline until after my streak ends. Athletes aren't the only superstitious ones out there. Question is will I ever get that offer? Don't think it will be this year
That sucks Pearson. I have never done that before and I hope I too get the questionnaire and Ian today is Tuesday the 5th not Monday.
Wonder how many will have Pujols for their pick today?
Yesterday DL players were discussed a bit. If you are quick, you can pick Cole Garner (COL) before he comes off the list. Sent to AAA today per rotoworld.
My streak is a measly 1, so today I'll have some fun and pick Adam Dunn. He supposedly feels more balanced now and proved it with two (non-squared) hits yesterday. I would have picked Pedroia today otherwise, so I hope to see him go hitless and me to go 5-5. 😉
You weren't the only one, 3 Top2500 picked him too: 16-gamer and 2 9-gamers.

Weight Loss Surgery May Boost Testosterone
Obesity in men is associated with reduced levels of testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin, but the relationship between sex hormones and weight loss is less clear.
TUESDAY, March 26, 2013 — For morbidly obese men, levels of sex hormones increased after bariatric surgery, in some cases to higher levels than expected based on the amount of weight loss, researchers found.
In a single-center study, men with a median body mass index of 43.9 kg/m2 who underwent bariatric surgery had a significant increase in the majority of sex hormones, including total testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) at 6 months and 1 year after surgery, according to Edoardo Mannucci, MD, of Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Careggi in Florence, Italy, and colleagues.
And levels of total testosterone and SHBG were significantly higher than expected at both of those time points, the researchers reported online in Fertility & Sterility.
Obesity in men is associated with reduced levels of testosterone and SHBG, but the relationship between sex hormones and weight loss is less clear.
To assess those potential changes in those hormones after weight-loss surgery, Mannucci and colleagues conducted a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study of patients at their bariatric surgery center.
The cross-sectional study involved 161 men who had a median BMI of 29.2 kg/m2, and was used to define the relationship between BMI and hormones including total testosterone, calculated free testosterone (cFT), estradiol (E2), SHBG, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).
The longitudinal study involved 24 morbidly obese patients who had bariatric surgery — either gastric bypass, gastric banding, or biliopancreatic diversion — at the Italian hospital.
BMI and hormone levels were assessed at both 6 months and 1 year.
The cross-sectional study showed that, as expected, several hormone levels fell with greater obesity, including total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, FSH, and LH, while heavier patients had higher levels of estradiol.
The curve estimation for the relationship between sex hormones and BMI suggested an exponential model for total testosterone, free testosterone, FSH, and LH, while estradiol was best described by a linear model.
For SHBG, the best fit was a power model, they reported.
In the longitudinal study of morbidly obese patients, the median weight loss from baseline was 24.6% at 6 months and 27% at 1 year.
Mannucci and colleagues found significant increases in total testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, and gonadotropins 6 months after surgery, and these levels were kept stable at 1 year.
They also saw significant decreases in estradiol levels at 6 months that held stable through 12 months.
When they compared the measured levels after weight loss with expected sex hormone levels, they found significantly higher-than-expected levels for total testosterone and SHBG.
But there were no significant differences from expectations for the other hormones, except for FSH at 12 months.
There was a significant correlation with BMI loss and extra gains in total testosterone and extra gains in SHBG at 6 months and again at 12 months.
Those findings remained significant after adjusting for age, they added.
When discussing a possible explanation for their findings, they pointed out that bariatric surgery has demonstrated an ability to improve other clinical parameters in obese patients, namely hypertension, glucose tolerance, and insulin resistance.
"Considering that blood glucose has been demonstrated to affect SHBG levels, the surgically obtained amelioration of glucose tolerance and insulin resistance may in?uence SHBG levels and contribute to the difference between observed and predicted SHBG recovery," they said.
Mannucci and colleagues noted that the study was limited by its small sample size, by the inclusion of different surgical procedures, and by a lack of data on erectile function and other symptoms of hypogonadism.
Still, they concluded that the effects of weight loss induced by bariatric surgery on sex hormones are different from those predicted on the basis of adiposity, with higher-than-expected increases in total testosterone and SHBG.
Although the data are preliminary and need to be confirmed in larger samples with longer follow-up, they wrote, the findings indicate that the relationship between adiposity and sex hormones "could be more complex than anticipated."

Vancouver is one of the country's fastest growing metropolitan areas and its population has reached 2.3 million, according to new census data.
The figures, released Wednesday by Statistics Canada, are based on the census conducted in May 2011.
They reveal that the Vancouver metropolitan area's population grew by 9.3 per cent — from 2.1 million residents — since the previous census in 2006.
British Columbia's population increased seven per cent in the past five years, compared with a 5.3 per cent increase between 2001 and 2006.
The Vancouver metropolitan area remains the country's third largest, behind those in Toronto and Montreal.
Statistics Canada noted that "growth was mainly the result of immigration, as a majority of immigrants chose to settle in these areas."
Furthermore, the data show the city of Vancouver itself experienced relatively low population growth, compared to other cities in the Lower Mainland.
Within the city of Vancouver, the few areas with rapid population growth were located in the downtown, Mount Pleasant and Fairview areas.
Outside of the city, there was strong population growth in the surrounding municipalities of Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and Surrey.
Among the highlights of the census:
• Vancouver grew by 4.4 per cent — to 603,502 people.
• Surrey grew by 18.6 per cent — to 468,251.
• Burnaby grew by 10.1 per cent — to 223,218.
• Richmond grew by 9.2 per cent — to 190,473.
• Abbotsford grew by 7.4 per cent — to 133,497

Jean Prouve (1901-1984): French Industrial- and Furniture Designer and Architect. Jean Prouve is one of the most influential furniture designers of the early modern design movement, Jean Prouve introduced the machine age and industrial engineered modern design aesthetic to interiors in the steel, aluminum and architecture he created. He then continued her experiments with different materials.
Jean Prouve was both engineer and modern designer.
Jean Prouve was once quoted saying: never design anything that cannot be made.
Jean Prouve was born into an artistic family in Nancy, France; his famous father, Victor Prouve, collaborated with the great Art Nouveau artists Emile Galle and Louis Majorelle as a ceramicist. Jean Prouve himself was trained as a metal smith before attending engineering school in Nancy, and his intimate knowledge of metal remained the foundation of his work and career. After opening his own workshop in 1923, Jean Prouve began producing modern metal furniture of his own design as well as collaborating with some of the best-known French modern designers of the day, including Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand. His shelving units for the dormitories at the Cite internationale universitaire de Paris, designed with Perriand and the artist Sonia Delaunay in 1952, are perhaps the best-known examples of his collaborative work.
Jean Prouve always regarded himself as more of an engineer and constructor instead of a modern designer. He never designed for the sake of form alone, concentrating instead on the essence of materials, connections and production. Jean Prouve strove for the most constructionally and materially efficient designs, with such classic end results as the modern design Standard chair of 1934 and the Antony chair of 1954. Utilizing his innovative method of folding sheet metal, Jean Prouve designed a series of tables that have the perceived lightness of bridges and the presence of architecture. In the mid 1950s, Jean Prouve was forced to abandon modern design furniture production and began devoting his time to the challenges of prefabricated architecture. His own house, which he designed as a prototype, is now considered a major development in prefab housing.
though Jean Prouvé has long been an influential force among modern
designers, especially constructionally minded architects such as Norman
Foster and Renzo Piano, and his vintage modern design has been sought
after for years by connoisseurs and museums who specialize in modern
design, his work has remained relatively unknown to the general design
public. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence and his original
modern design creations can be purchased at fine auction houses like Wright20.com. Vitra Germany has also reissued some of his modern design under authorization of the Jean Prouve estate.

It has been a tough couple of years out on the high street. We are still managing to survive yet we have had to make some changes into how we operate. Cutting back on spending has been our focus along with improving our sales through marketing, excellent customer service and reliable products. One of the ways we have managed to keep trading while others around us have closed is by being flexible and making cutbacks, such as moving into a cheaper property.
Moving to a smaller shop was never going to be easy for us but it was a step we needed to make in order to keep our doors open. The reduced cost in utility bills and rent have meant we could afford to cut back on our prices to keep serving the customers excellent quality goods while they also struggle to keep their heads above water. It's a war out on the high street but one that can be won with careful planning and even more careful spending.
The Doorway Caused Instant Problems
Sadly when we moved to the new premises we noticed that there were some problems that needed to be fixed right away. The door to the shop was a huge problem as it was small with a step up to it. We serve items to everyone and there is no way we want to turn anyone away from our store so we had to address the issue of access so that all our customers, new and old, would be able to enter and exit the shop without any problems. The door was a problem and so we set about sorting it out right away.
We contacted some access consultants and spoke to our landlord. Thankfully the agent was more than willing to help us to make improvements. We were given permission to replace the door and add a small ramp to the exterior of the property. The landlord even chipped in with some of the costs which was not something that we were expecting to happen.
Why go to so much Trouble?
Why did we go to the trouble of sorting out the access? You may think we were silly spending our money that we didn't need to while making cutbacks everywhere else. When you think about it carefully it does make perfect sense. We make our living by selling to the public. Our product range includes items for men and women of all ages, so we have to be able to welcome men and women into our store. Without them we can't make sales, which would result in us having to close down and only focus on online sales.
The new doorway and ramp now meant that everyone had the ability to access our store. People that use wheelchairs, mobility scooters, mums with pushchairs and prams and anyone else who might have problems with a small door and a step can now come and go without any problems. The door only needs a slight nudge for it to then open on its own, meaning it's easy for everyone to open. Shoppers overloaded with bags don't have to battle with the door anymore!
Your Customers are Your Lifeline
Providing excellent customer service includes welcoming people from all walks of life into your shop. Investing in making your property more accessible makes perfect sense. We saw an increase in footfall immediately and all of our old customers who couldn't access our new shop were thrilled that we went to the effort to welcome them in. A simple change to the entrance can result in a dramatic rise in sales, something worth considering I think you'll agree.

Nobody claimed the grand prize in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's challenge to test the potential effectiveness of social media during a disaster, Information Week reports.Late last month, DARPA began its Cash for Locating and Identifying Quick Response Codes (CLIQR) challenge. The goal was for participants to use social media to locate seven posters placed in different cities across the country. The posters, which represented assets responders might need in an emergency situation, bore a QR code and DARPA's logo.There was a catch, though: DARPA introduced the CLIQR challenge on Twitter and used only nontraditional means of getting the word out about it, which meant no official agency press releases and no promotion through blogs or other non-social media sites. (Participants were encouraged to use their own social networks, including Facebook, to spread the word, however.)
CLIQR was modeled after the DARPA Network Challenge in December 2009, in which contestants were asked to use the Internet to find the locations of 10 red weather balloons scattered around the country. That challenge was solved in less than nine hours, but it was more heavily promoted.
"That challenge began with the agency purposefully launching a communication outreach campaign to draw attention to the experiment," said DARPA Deputy Director, Kaigham J. Gabriel said in a release. "With CLIQR Quest, we sought to test the opposite end of the spectrum — zero excitation through public agency announcements." Although the $40,000 first prize offered to the winner will go unclaimed, the contestant who located three of the QR codes will receive a prorated amount, DARPA said.

From sleek regular-season machine to broken-down jalopy, the Vancouver Canucks again appear headed to the junkyard of past playoff failures.
The franchise has had many players, coaches and uniforms but the one constant is the post-season pratfalls that have resulted in zero Stanley Cups and only two final appearances since the team's birth in 1970.
This year was going to be different, though. And maybe it will be if coach Alain Vigneault can coax his players off the canvas like Chicago counterpart Joel Quenneville did with the Blackhawks. So far, it's beginning to look a lot like last year, and the year before that, too.
Vancouver still leads the best-of-seven series 3-2 but even the most cockeyed of Canuck optimists can't be bubbling with any enthusiasm following consecutive 7-2 and 5-0 trouncings. Game 6 goes Sunday at the United Center, 4:30 Pacific time. Game 7, if necessary, is back at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night.
"Obviously there is a lot of attention being put on [last year]," Vigneault conceded Friday at YVR before the Canucks flew off to Chicago. "We have said all along we're a different group and that there is a lot more accountability, more leadership, etc., etc. We've been saying all that and now we have to go on the ice and prove it."
Vigneault is planning some strategic alterations but, of course, wouldn't divulge them. Since the team didn't practise Friday, there was no way to observe anything new.
Right now, it seems the Canucks are more concerned that their top players have been badly out-performed by Chicago's top players during the last two games.
GM Mike Gillis flatly stated that Friday but then quickly softened his message with numerous words of encouragement.
"I'm very confident in them," Gillis said. "I've been confident all year in them and I'm confident they're going to step up and be our best players."
Offensively, Ryan Kesler, Alex Burrows and the Sedin twins have been silenced the last two games by the Blackhawks, with the exception of Daniel's garbage time power-play goal in Game 4.
Defensively, Alex Edler, Christian Ehrhoff, Dan Hamhuis and Kevin Bieksa have been outplayed by Chicago's top blue-liners, especially Duncan Keith.
"We've got a couple of ideas on what we need to do and what we need to do better," Vigneault said. "Obviously I'm not going to share that with you but there are a few points we need to put in place. This group has always responded well and we're going to try to respond well on Sunday. What Mike said about our top players is true but we all need to be better."
Kesler, one of the Canuck alternate captains, doesn't plan to make a fiery speech in the media to ignite additional passion in his mates. He might do it behind closed doors but it won't be in a public forum. At least not yet.
"We're a mature group in here and I don't think we need to use the media to fire up our group," he said. "We hold each other accountable and using the media as an outlet isn't something we want to do. We talked about it Thursday night and I'm pretty positive everybody understands what we need to do. Everybody is very confident."
Kesler admitted it is not a must-win for the Canucks, although they certainly aren't interested in having the series dragged to a potentially fatal seventh game.
"Do we have to win Sunday? Obviously not," Kesler said. "But we're playing this like a Game 7. We're going to go into that building and we're going to play like we're playing for our lives. We're going to throw it all on the table."
As for his personal goal drought – none in the playoffs after 41 in the regular season – he doesn't give a fig as long as the Canucks prevail.
"It doesn't really matter who scores, it's what you do every shift to make a difference," Kesler noted. "We're still in a good spot. We just have to win one game."
The Canucks are batting 0-for-2 in that regard. Going 1-for-3 would likely calm a lot of nerves in Vancouver.

In February I joined the ranks of iPhone users. It was a blissful beginning to a long-awaited consummation of the most serious case of tech envy I've had since the Atari video game console replaced my Texas Instrument computer when I was 10 (yes, now you all know how old I am).
As a devout minimalist – I clean out my closets more often than most people clean out their trashcans – I immediately loved the sleek, streamlined look and functionality of the device.
I warmed slowly to the centralization of all information and activity. I once lost a most-used and relied upon datebook that was also doubling as a wallet. It was devastating both literally – the pain of replacing everything I needed to function – and figuratively – the pain of losing such an integral part of my life. I swore after that episode that I would forever decentralize my life.
I took my iPhone home, unpacked it from its equally sleek packaging (which I have carefully stowed to preserve its pristine condition, and – in a psychological exercise designed to provide the illusion of control – should anything happen to the phone I would have all of the parts it came with. As if the Styrofoam insert that kept it in place as it was shipped to the AT&T store where I bought it will magically protect it from the wear and tear I am going to inflict on it and any ensuing peril that might come its way).
At first I was just enamored. The iPhone accomplished the most special of technological tasks for me: It centralized my email accounts (I have five). I suppose now is when I should admit I am an email junkie (the five accounts might have given that away – but really at least two of them are for my job).
I am exactly the person they write about in blogs or Yahoo articles (Are those real? Sometimes I think Yahoo has programmers who simply write code to create those stories). I am always checking in. I have been asked to stop by friends in mid-story, over meals or watching a movie.
My 9-year-old son knows two things about the morning without having to ask. First comes coffee, then comes email. He doesn't even roll his eyes anymore when I reach for my phone.
Here's my favorite thing about my relationship with my iPhone: I loathe answering machines and voicemail.
I actually resent the person who invented the answering machine. I am convinced it was a Jewish mother trying to reach her children. I spent years willfully ignoring and/or deleting messages. I am only slightly better with voicemail messages. I have made peace with them.
Now, however, I feel conflicted about the invention of cell phones in general, and it's the answering machine's fault. If it has to exist, then it should suffice for anyone needing anything that does not involve a life or death situation, thus making cell phones unnecessary.
And this brings me to the best part of the iPhone. Everyone who owns an iPhone knows how much it costs to have and hold, to use all those apps and to maintain control of your life from the palm of your hand.
A Facebook friend recently posed a question to Facebook land: "If I can program the DVR, email friends, schedule appointments, check the Web and get directions all from my phone, shouldn't it be called something else at this point?"
It's true. I have given up the fight. My iPhone contains my whole life. It houses my email accounts, contact lists, address book, website bookmarks, bank account access, to-do lists, movie and book lists, grocery lists, alarm clock, schedule, calendar, photos, videos, camera, music player, take-out menus, recipes, Facebook and on and on.
At any given moment, I can receive emails, texts, and phone calls simultaneously. It's horrible when it happens, which is too often. I don't know about all of you but the frequency with which my phone "rings" has made the silence of no one trying to reach me almost sad.
In the weeks and months of owning the phone, I downloaded apps, organized them into categories, created a separate screen for each category and eased into the technological comfort. And then it set in, the ennui. The inevitable, incessant and somewhat tedious need for the next thing.
I have more than 40 apps on my phone, of which I use less than five regularly. The utilitarian allure of my phone and the enthusiasm with which I enjoy it has far outrun its real-time charm, which makes me wonder if it really is worth it after all.

Microsoft's Patch Tuesday for July landed overnight with a bumper crop of seven bulletins, six of which cover critical flaws that carry remote code execution risks.
And the Windows 8 giant today revealed that one of these, CVE-2013-3163, is currently under active attack online.
Every supported operating system, every version of MS Office, Lync, Silverlight, Visual Studio and .NET will need patching - creating plenty of work for sysadmins worldwide.
The patch batch grapples with a total of 34 vulnerabilities, with the emphasis very firmly on workstation (PC) rather than server software.
Altogether three of the bulletins patched flaws roughly matching the profile of the Windows kernel security issue that Google's Tavis Ormandy disclosed back in May (CVE-2013-3660).
The top two patching priorities are a Windows kernel issue (MS13-053) and the Internet Explorer patch bundle (MS13-055), which addresses 17 vulnerabilities in Microsoft's browser software.
Microsoft revised the latter, bulletin 55, just after publication to announce that it is "aware of targeted attacks attempting to exploit the vulnerability described in CVE-2013-3163 through Internet Explorer 8". Redmond said that the application of the update would protect customers from any exploits of the vuln.
Also, for the first time ever, Microsoft is addressing a single vulnerability (CVE-2013-3129) in three different advisories (MS13-052, MS13-053, and MS13-054).
"This issue relates to TrueType Font processing and legitimately affects different components," explained Ross Barrett, senior manager of security engineering at Rapid7.
"By splitting this out, Microsoft is directly addressing a complaint about previous 'rolled up' advisories where it was difficult to properly prioritise the multiple patches required to remediate the problem, and component patches were frequently missed."
A visual overview of the patching menu for July can be found in a blog post by the SANS Institute's Internet Storm Centre here.
Crap apps and Flash patch dash
Microsoft also announced a policy change related to the Windows marketplace. In future, any "app" that is affected by a security issue will be removed from the store if it is not patched within 180 days of confirmation of a potential problem. Security watchers will be interested to see in Google or Apple adopt a similar policy.
In other patching news, Adobe released security updates for Adobe Shockwave (APSB13-18), Coldfusion (APSB13-19) and Adobe Flash player (APSB13-17).
"Users of Internet Explorer 10 and Google Chrome already have [Flash] updates integrated and do not need to worry about installing the new version themselves," notes Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of cloud security firm Qualys.
"Everybody else, including Mac OS X users, should apply this critical update as quickly as possible."
Those at the security coalface will have little time to kick back after installing these updates. Oracle will be releasing their quarterly update for all of their software (except Java) next week on Tuesday, 19 July. ®

This series consists of talks in the area of Quantum Gravity.
Spin foams provide models for quantum gravity and hence quantum space time. One of the key outstanding questions is to show that they reproduce smooth space time manifolds in a continuum limit.I will start with a very short introduction to spin foams and the structure of quantum space time they encode.
The most relevant evidences in favour of the Lorentzian EPRL-FK spinfoam model come from its capibility of reproducing the expected semiclassical limit in the large spin regime. The main examples of this are the large spin limit of the vertex amplitude, later extended to arbitrary triangulations, and that of the spinfoam graviton propagator, which was calculated on the simplest possible two complex. These results are very promising. Nonetheless, their relevance may be endangered by the effects associated to radiative corrections.
In several approaches
to quantum-gravity, the spectral dimension of spacetime runs from the standard
value of 4 in the infrared (IR) to a smaller value in the ultraviolet (UV).
Describing this running in terms of deformed dispersion relations, I show that
a striking cosmological implication is that that UV behavior leading to 2
spectral dimensions results in an exactly scale-invariant spectrum of vacuum scalar
and tensor fluctuations. I discuss scenarios that break exact scale-invariance
An exciting frontier in physics is to understand the quantum nature of gravitation in finite regions of spacetime. Study of these regions from ``below'', that is, by studying the quantum geometry of finite regions emerging from loop gravity and spin networks has recently resulted in a new road to the quantization of volume and to evidence that there is a robust gap in the volume spectrum. In this talk I will complement these results with recent work on conformal field theories in a particular finite region, a spherical ball of space.
The Functional
Renormalisation Group technique has received great attention in recent times
proving itself as a powerful tool to describe the high energy behaviour of
gravitational interactions.
Its key ingredient is a nontrivial fixed point of the theory renormalization
group flow which controls the behavior of the coupling constants in the
ultraviolet regime and ensures that physical quantities are safe from
divergences. I will briefly review the main ingredients of the gravitational asymptotic
Causal set theory is discrete, fully covariant theory of quantum
gravity. The discrete framework makes it necessary to reformulate
continuum concepts. One of these concepts is that of a derivative operator. It is
possible to define a derivative operator in causal sets that in
the continuum limit agrees with the d'Alembertian for a scalar
field. This operator can be used to define a causal set action, which
enables Monte-Carlo simulations. In this seminar I will present this operator and action and then
The functional renormalization group
is a tool in the systematic search for Euclidean QFTs that works with
very little input: All one needs to specify is a field content,
symmetries and a notion of locality. The functional renormalization
group then allows one to scan this theory space for bare actions for
which the path integral can be performed nonperturbatively. These
actions appear as fixed points (and relevant deformations) of the
renormalization group flow (so-called asymptotic safety). Such a
late physicist John Wheeler, was renowned for his Socratic method of conducting
physics discussions. "Why is general relativity the way it is? What makes
it special?" were reportedly questions one should expect in his
presence. There are different answers to these questions, each requiring a set
of assumptions - which Wheeler would likely question again - and each bringing
with it new insights into physics as a whole. This talk will put forward
new principles for deriving general relativity. Perhaps more than is the case
AdS/CFT is a duality
relating the degrees of freedom in a D dimensional bulk gravity theory to a (D-1) dimensional theory living on the boundary. I will argue that in fact the boundary theory contains only a subset of the bulk observables. For each state of the boundary theory, there are multiple bulk states dual to it, which can be operationally distinguished by observers who fall across event horizons. Based on arXiv:1210.3590.
We argue that the
scale-free spectrum that is observed in the cosmic microwave background is the
result of a phase transition in the early universe. The observed tilt of
the spectrum, which has been measured to be 0.04, is shown to be equal to the
anomalous scaling dimension of the correlation function. The phase
transition replaces inflation as the mechanism that produces this spectrum. The tilt further indicates that there is a fundamental small length scale in
nature that we have not yet observed in any other way.

Royce Clark, a prominent member of Greeley's financial community, died on Thursday in a Las Vegas car crash. He was 80 years old.
Clark, who served as president of the Colorado Bankers Association, was well-known in the Greeley community. He was first a correspondent banker out of Denver and then moved to Greeley, where he owned banks at the Greeley Mall and then off of 10th Street, which is now Bank of the West.
"I knew him as a very tough competitor, but as a man who was strictly ethical," said Norman Dean, a longtime Greeley resident who served as president of the Weld County Bank, which is now the United Bank of Greeley. "He had very strong personal integrity."
Sarah MacQuiddy, executive director of the Greeley Chamber of Commerce, said Clark was also chairman of the chamber board in 1982.
"The business community was his first passion and his first love. His dealings with his bank always reflected that attitude," MacQuiddy said. "I'm gonna miss him something awful … He was such a kind man, and always ethical in his dealings."
Clark died in Las Vegas, where he had a second home, on Thursday night after his 1997 Buick collided with a pickup, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Dean said Clark and his wife, who died several years ago, were avid golfers, which is why they lived part-time in Las Vegas.
Dean said he remembered the first time he met Clark in the 1960s, when he was still a correspondent banker.
"He was very professional in his approach to banking."

More than a month ago, I was going out to a restaurant to watch the Super Bowl because I don't have cable in my apartment. This place was recommended by a friend of mine and since I've discovered other great places through him, I thought I'd give this place a try.
So I sit down at a table, after the host asks if I want to sit at the bar, and I look at the menu. My friend had recommended I get a burger with feta cheese, so I order that. My burger comes to my table and I bite into it.
It's dry. It's not juicy. The flavor is coming from the feta cheese and what the hell did I just bite into?
There were cucumbers on my burger.
This is why you should read menus thoroughly.
I finished the burger and then ordered two rounds of fries before leaving early after having an allergic reaction to something. But the burger was incredibly disappointing.
Prior to December, I have had to abstain from consuming beef and pork because my body was having a hard time digesting it. Come Christmas, my mother makes rouladen, which has beef and pork and I have no problem digesting rouladen. As a result, I'm pretty sure I had beef or pork five days in a row while I was in Milwaukee on winter break.
While in Milwaukee, my family went to Major Goolsby's, which is a well-known sports bar on the same block as the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel building. I look at the menu and decide to order the Major Cheeseburger. The Major Cheeseburger isn't anything fancy, but it's a good old-fashioned burger. The patty is thick and juicy, greasy even. The cheese is melting and, importantly, the burger is warm. So now, whenever I go to Major Goolsby's, I order the Major Cheeseburger because it's a good burger. (Also, if you ever want to watch a Packers game in Milwaukee, go to Goolsby's. The energy in there during a game is amazing.)
I haven't been to all of the burger places in Chicago, although my friends did give me some suggestions on Facebook a while ago. I don't see anything wrong with a gourmet take on anything; I liked the grilled cheese at grahamwich. You just have to do it correctly. So, for starters, no cucumbers on cheeseburgers. Cucumbers have a cool, refreshing taste to them, which clashes against a warm, juicy burger.
Although I have yet to go to the location in Andersonville, I love the Meaty Mushroom Burger at Hamburger Mary's, which I've only ever been to in Cedar Rapids. The burger is large enough that it's easier to slice it in half to eat it. It has mushrooms, a patty, their special sauce, which always gets on my fingers; and cheese. It's also a burger that works with both a beef patty and a veggie patty. I once took a friend there before going to a play at Theatre Cedar Rapids' Lindale location* and she ordered the burger with a veggie patty. Being a vegetarian, she was in love with the sandwich and remarked to me at one point that "It actually tastes like food!" Seriously, if you can make a burger that tastes great even with a veggie patty, you win.
Cheeseburgers can have lots of dressings on them. But like with any food dish, you have to work on how the flavors go together. There's a reason why a slice of cheddar cheese on a beef patty worked so well. It tasted good.
*The Hamburger Mary's in Cedar Rapids is across the street from where Theatre Cedar Rapids' Lindale location was. As a result, it was a great pre- or post-show meal.
