Asian Luxe Matchmaking
I am a 29 year old Chinese Female Matchmaker and Dating Coach. I grew up in California. I just split from an online dating company to start this business on my own. I am stylish, classy, and drive an Audi A5
I am extremely corporate but have found my passion in this entrepreneurial pursuit.
My tough love demeanor is very similar to Patti Stanger's of Millionaire Matchmaker but I also have a heart of gold and always find time to give back to the community.
This is a high-end service that ranges from $4,000-$15,000 per year per client.
The logo should have the following feel:
and maybe (asian)
Successful professional Asian American men between the ages of 30 and 50. (In addition, there will be women visiting the site to fill out profiles to be match up with our male clients. These women are also professionals and extremely picky)
Most of these guys are either born in the US or they were the first generation to come over.
These guys are hip, homeowners, professionals (Vice Presidents, doctors, lawyers etc.) who for the most part are single because they are either too busy or too picky. Most have had their pick of women. They just haven't found the right one.
We need a logo done by Friday to represent our Matchmaking & Date Coaching Company. (This is not an online company like e-harmony or match.com. This is like Millionaire Matchmaker)
We would love to have the logo incorporate a heart but here are a few things to think about:
1. No Cartoons - we want it to be playful but not cheap or childlike
2. Not too modern - We don't want to come off plain
3. The typeface should look expensive. We want something that stands out.
4. Symbols/icons tend to look good.
5. Not too feminine since the target market is guys.
6. Black and Gold orSilver color scheme
7. Maybe incorporate the Chinese character for "Love"
Here is an example of two websites that have that look/feel that we like.:
http://www.vividmagazine.net/ (Our website will have a similar color scheme except the purples are replaced with teal)
Here is an example of what we are trying to avoid:
I like black but please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

It's called Walter's Wilderness Camp and I would stake my reputation on them. It is a bow only outfit for bear and the bait sites are all set up for that. More bear than I ever dreamed I would see and it was my buddy's second trip with them. We both shot bear that year as did he the few years before. Excellent accommodations and incredible food.

Skip to comments.Suspected 'Black Widow' suicide bomber kills 6 in southern Russia (near 2014 Winter Olympics)
Posted on 10/21/2013 11:19:13 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee
A suspected "Black Widow" female suicide bomber attacked a bus in the southern Russia city of Volgograd today, not far from Sochi, the site of the February 2014 Winter Olympics. The attack is the first such incident in the region in over a year.
According to Russia's Federal Investigative Committee, a 30-year-old Dagestani woman named Naida Asiyalova boarded the bus at a stop, then detonated shortly afterward in an explosion that killed at least six people and wounded 32 others. There are thought to have been about 40 people on the bus.
Identity documents found near the blast site indicated that she was the wife of wanted Islamist militant Dmitri Sokolov, also known as Abdul Jabbar, who is a suspect in two bombings in Dagestan that injured 29 people. Asiyalova comes from Makhachkala, the capital of the insurgency-plagued republic of Dagestan. Makhachkala is about 500 miles south of Volgograd, the site of the attack.

It's 427 miles but in Russia that may be considered nearby.

Yes, in Western Siberia three days by car or two hours by jet considered "next door". You can drive some 100 miles on the road without spotting any other person.
I live about 150 miles fro Sochi, and it takes 5 hours by train to get there (faster than by car)!
Are there any 'Black Widows' around?

The latest iteration of Mazda's KODO design language lands on the refreshed MX-5 Miata, replacing its Derpy smiling face with something slightly more aggressive. This upgrade is only for Japan now, but we're hoping and expecting it'll arrive here for the MX-5's next model year.
At first glance, the most obvious change is a more pointed grille that resembles the Mazda CX-5's shield. The foglights also get a shape that plays off the new aggressiveness.
It's remarkable how much this little bit of rhinoplasty affects the character of the car, making it tough where it once looked as though it had been staring into the sun all day.
Otherwise, the Japanese version will be getting new colors, ECU tweaks on the manual model for better throttle response, and some minor brake upgrades. On the safety front there's an "Active Bonnet" that, like it sounds, actively moves the bonnet.
In advance of a crash the rear edge of the hood opens to create a larger space between the hard engine and the soft flesh of any pedestrians you might have accidentally smashed into while using your Koolatron Drive N' Grill in Tokyo.
Do you like it? Will it make you more likely to buy a BMW?

October 13, 2007
It's become a mid-season classic between the NCAC's two powerhouses – Wabash and Wittenberg. The 14th-ranked Little Giants (6-0, 4-0) won their fourth straight home game against the Tigers Saturday when the defense held off Wittenberg's game-tying effort in the final moments, 24-17.
"No one is getting any trophies and nobody is printing any t-shirts," Coach Chris Creighton told his team after the game. Indeed, it's a mid-season game but the winner of the Witt-Wabash goes a long way toward determining the NCAC Champion and a post-season berth.
Wittenberg falls to 4-2 and 2-1 in NCAC play. The two teams tied for the championship last year. Either Wabash or Wittenberg has won the conference title in eight of the last 10 seasons. Wabash controls its post-season fate with home games against Oberlin, Denison, and a long road trip to Wooster. See three photo albums, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3. (All photos by Jim Amidon, Copyright Wabash College 2007.)
"Today is really big for us. It's such a big win all-around team wise," said senior Brock Graham. "But we're going to make sure we celebrate this win knowing we have another game next week. So its back to work on Monday but this is a great win for us."
Graham has somewhat quietly been the offensive workhorse all year for the Little Giants. He caught 7 passes for 69 yards Saturday and rushed 5 times for 7 yards. But of those seven yards one was for a first down and another was the winning touchdown.
Graham ran the ball in from a yard out with 11 minutes to play on a fourth down to give the Little Giants a 24-10 edge. But Witt responded with a 12-play, 74-yard drive to pull within a touchdown with 5:37 left.
The Little Giants recovered an onside kick and benefited from an unsportsmanlike conduct call against the Tigers to take over on Wittenberg's 47. Wabash appeared poised run out the clock but a fumble at the Witt 25 with 1:17 to go gave the Tigers a last chance.
"To be honest, I know what was going on in my head," said defensive back Richard Roomes of the last minute of play. "We've grown up together in this program. We've cultivated this kind of atmosphere that when bad stuff happens that's when our best comes out.
"I mean we were upset the offense had a bad play but we were happy we got another chance to go out there. In all honesty, we felt we had to pay back the offense for last year when we let it slip through our fingers."
Wittenberg quarterback Aaron Huffman hit Patrick Williams for a 48-yard gain to put every fan on the edge of their seats in Little Giant Stadium. The Tigers were in business on the Wabash 27-yardline.
But two penalties and three incomplete passes set up a dramatic fourth-down pass that was dropped to secure the Wabash win.
The defense's gutsy stand, coupled with holding Wittenberg to three points on its first two drives deep into Wabash territory, was the game's highlight.
"I think because of the commitment these guys make to this football program, you know the "Wabash Always Fights" thing and the commitment they make getting up in the morning, the intimacy and really caring about each other – that stuff matters when you have to dig down deep when your backs are to the goal line," Creighton said.
After the defense held on those two early possessions, the Little Giant offense showed the quick strike capability missing in recent weeks.
Wabash got on the board in just three plays and 29 seconds when sophomore quarterback Matt Hudson found Ray Green on a 54-yard strike, 7-3. After a Wittenberg three and out, Hudson found Mike Russell for 17 and 12 yards with two C.P. Porter runs sandwiched in between for 20 more.
Then the Little Giants showed a little trickery when Evan Sobecki threw his first pass of the season for 21 yards to an open Gabe Guerrero in the back of the end zone, 14-3.
Sobecki had thrown one halfback pass in his Penn High School days, but laughed that one was intercepted.
"I saw Gabe got a good release and I just put it up for him," the sophomore tailback said. "He did the rest of the work and made a heck of a play on it."
Sobecki led the ground attack with 48 yards with Porter adding 47. Eight different Little Giants caught passes, led by Mike Russell's 9 receptions for 110 yards.
The senior wide receiver, who started the season battling injuries, enjoyed his best game of the year.
"It's great to be back," Russell said. "The guys are always awesome but to be able to get out there and play my best ball, and definitely against Witt, it's good again."
Russell also remembered last season's tough 19-17 Wittenberg come-from-behind win and offered up his own redemption. "Last year I left two interceptions on the field that were my fault," he said. "I definitely felt like I needed to pay the team back. I took a lot of responsibility for last year and it feels good to get that off my chest."
Quarterback Matt Hudson enjoyed his finest day hitting on 23-of-34 passes for 293 yards and the one touchdown. The game was largely a statistical dead heat. Wabash netted 398 total yards while Witt picked up 328. The Little Giants gained 110 on the ground to the Tigers' 94.
Defensively, Adi Pynenberg continues to stuff the stat sheet and move up in the record books. He had 17 tackles Saturday; two of those were tackles for loss. Linebacker running mate Andy Deig added 10 stops with Chad Peterman recording 8 tackles.

Simeone Park (Queens, NY)
Place Category: Parks and Playgrounds
This park honors Corona community activist Louis F. Simeone (1920-1984). Simeone was raised in Corona, Queens, attending St. Leo's Parochial School, Laughlin High School, and St. John's University, earning a degree in accounting. Soon after graduating St. John's, he opened his own accounting and insurance firm in Corona, the Simeone Agency. Active in many civic organizations, Simeone was a member of the Lions Club, Community Board 4, and Community School Board 24, both of which he chaired.
During his years of service on Community Board 4, Simeone was active in the fight for increased senior housing in the neighborhood of Corona. It was during his tenure that the Community Board and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) collaborated to arrange a maintenance agreement for this park property. At the time, HPD had jurisdiction over the property, and they reached an agreement by which the Transport Workers Union (TWU), an organization created to protect transit workers from unfair wages and grueling work conditions, would care for and maintain the park. As a result this site became known as TWU Park for a time. On December 19, 1997, the City assigned the property to Parks. Parks Commissioner Stern renamed the park Louis Simeone Park in 1998 to honor the late civic activist.
In May 2001, major reconstruction of the park was completed with a $500,000 allocation from Council Member Helen M. Marshall. Renovations included building a formal garden, reconstructing the walks and brick pavements, and rebuilding a brick-paved gazebo and circular plaza entrance. The renovation also brought steel benches to the park and added bronze birds and leaf art to the steel fences.
New plantings included tulips (Tulipa spp.), daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus), iris (Iris spp.), lilies (Liliaceae spp.), ferns (Filicinae), periwinkle (Vinca minor), woodbine (Lonicera periclymenum), and other ground cover.

Over the past several years, immigration hard-liners at the Arizona Legislature persuaded their colleagues to criminalize the presence of illegal border-crossers in the state and ban soft immigration policies in police agencies — only to be thwarted by vetoes from a Democratic governor.
This year, their prospects have improved. A proposal to draw local police deeper into the fight against illegal immigration has momentum, and even opponents expect the new Republican governor to sign off on the changes.
The proposal would make Arizona the only state to criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants through an expansion of its trespassing law. It also would require police to try to determine people's immigration status when there's reasonable suspicion they are in the country illegally.
An estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants live in the state.
"The greatest threat to our neighborhoods is the illegal alien invasion," said Republican Sen. Russell Pearce of Mesa, sponsor of the proposal, explaining that some illegal immigrants who are criminals bring violence and other crimes to the United States.
Supporters say the new rules are needed because the federal government has done a lousy job of trying seal the border and crack down on immigrants in the country's interior. Opponents say such new duties would be costly and lead to racial profiling.
The proposal passed the Senate two weeks ago, and a similar bill could come to a vote of the full House as early as this week.
Paul Senseman, spokesman for Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, said the governor doesn't comment on pending legislation but generally supports pragmatic immigration laws. Her predecessor, Janet Napolitano, a Democrat, vetoed similar proposals.
Many of the state's local police bosses have long resisted suggestions that their officers conduct day-to-day immigration enforcement, saying it would distract them from investigating other crimes and sow distrust among immigrants, who might not help officers investigating crimes because they fear being sent home.
"We are not anti-immigration enforcement," said Kingman Police Chief Robert DeVries, who opposes the bill. "We are just concerned about some of the responsibilities that are being pushed on us and how it affects our ability to provide day-to-day services in our communities."
Immigrant rights advocates are especially concerned about the trespassing expansion, saying it would inevitably lead to hassles for U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who would be approached by police because of their skin color.
"Bills like this that cast a net so wide are guaranteed to trap U.S. citizens," said Jennifer Allen, director of the Border Action Network, an immigrant rights group based in southern Arizona.
Pearce said he doesn't see the trespassing expansion being used on a wide scale and said officers wouldn't be required to arrest all illegal immigrants under such a law. Pearce said officers could turn illegal immigrants over to federal authorities, as police now routinely do, or they could use the trespassing expansion to hold onto illegal immigrants who are suspects in crimes.
First-offense trespassing by an illegal immigrant would be a top-tier misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail. Subsequent violations would be mid-tier felonies that would carry a penalty of one-and-a-half to three years in prison.
One element of the proposal would ban what anti-immigration groups call sanctuary polices — local rules that discourage or restrict officers from questioning immigrants.
Supporters of the bill say the policies — enacted by cities — create areas of "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants. The bill would let any person file a lawsuit to challenge the polices. If a judge finds a city restricted enforcement, the city could face civil penalties of $1,000 to $5,000 for each day the policy remains in effect after the lawsuit is filed.
Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema of Phoenix, an opponent of the measure, disputes that cities and counties have any written or de facto policies that make them sanctuaries. "It's just not true," Sinema said.

Metal Chemistry in Coastal Waters and its Relationship to Bioaccumulation and Trophic Transfe
Project Duration: 6/1/96-5/31/97
Key Words: toxic metals, bioaccumulation, analytical chemistry
Proposal AbstractThe complexity of the coastal ocean is partly defined by its incredible spatial variability. RCRC research supports the development of new instruments and methods to measure variations, to manipulate experiments on site, and to provide new, accurate, and more-detailed information. For example, researchers are assessing a new substance capable of indicating an accumulation of metals in phytoplankton populations. The study aims to make new water-quality criteria more specific and quantitative.
Final ReportContaminants of human origin are ubiquitous constituents of coastal waters. Frequently scientists and regulators ask, "How much of a given contaminant is acceptable?" "Acceptable" is often defined as a level of contaminant that does not pose a threat to the sustainability or stability of an ecosystem. However, as we learn more about coastal environments, it is clear that simple predictive measurements are in fact, complicated by a variety of factors.
My particular interest is variability in the distribution and biological availability of contaminants in dynamic coastal environments. Mixing processes that can lead to considerable spatial and temporal variability in contaminant distributions, present a real challenge for ecological assessment studies.
Normally scientists need large data sets to determine how contaminants vary at numerous locations within an estuary or harbor during storm events. Since collection of discrete samples is costly and logistically difficult, we have been working with an in situ, passive sampling probe to study the distribution and bioavailability of trace metals in harbors. I used the probes to study metal mobilization in Boston Harbor and surrounding areas during such episodic events as combined sewage overflows and dredging activities.

'You could never eliminate the possibility of dream sequences and flashbacks,' Moffat said in an interview, 'But will the Doctor see them again? No.'
He said he was pleased by the 'proper ending' given in The Angels Take Manhattan.
'Bringing back things just gives you sequel-itis. Just end it and get out. Heaven knows if they'll appear in some form of flashback – I have no plans to do that I have to say – but the story of Amy and The Doctor is definitively over.'
Looks like another set of old companions crossed off the list for the 50th, then!

The Arizona K5 Blazer ContestPosted in Events on October 1, 2012
A call from a friend alerted us to a good time to be had with a group of older fullsize domestics, so we jumped at the chance to head to the desert. ArizonaK5 is a Phoenix-area group of Chevy 4WD enthusiasts who camp and wheel together. They had a plan to gather for a second annual K5 contest at a local OHV site.
Two classes competed: Stock and Modified. There was an obstacle course and a short rockcrawling course. Each competitor started with 100 points and was given a time limit to complete each of the courses. Competitor points were deducted for backing up, hitting cones, or going out of bounds. There were also a few bonus obstacles where drivers could add points to their final score.
The obstacle course consisted of loose hillclimbs, tight turns, twisty wash crossings, and a couple of tricky downhill sections. The rock course followed a boulder-strewn wash. The action was entertaining, and spectators were witness to a bit of carnage on the rock course. It's plain hard not to enjoy some good dirt action from vintage American iron!
If you're local and want to meet up with fellow K5ers, look for more information in the forums at www.arizonak5.com.

The Maras at the CFDA Awards
Rooney Mara and Kate Mara were at the CFDA Awards last night in New York. Rooney posed with Francisco Costa. She wore Calvin Klein. Kate wore Dolce & Gabbana. I haven't been able to find any photos of the sisters together. If you see one, let me know.
Duana has been paying particularly close attention to the Maras recently, noting first that they were both at the MET Gala last month and there were no pictures either and picking up the audio on Kate's voice during The Hollywood Reporter Drama Queens roundtable when she referred to her sister being an actor too -- click here for a refresher.
Is this like a Gwyneth Paltrow/Chris Martin thing but for siblings instead of spouses? Like, family is private so we're keeping that separate from public? If this is the case...
If this is not the case, well, then, what?

Assistant Professor of Philosophy
B.A., M.A. (Philosophy), University of Wisconsin-MilwaukeeM.A. (Greek), University of Wisconsin-MilwaukeePh.D., Tulane University
Shawn Welnak earned his undergraduate degree in philosophy at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. He continued his studies there, working first on an M.A. in philosophy and then an M.A. in classical Greek. His philosophy master's thesis "Priority, Nature, and Political Animals in Aristotle's Politics," published by Peter Lang, focuses on Aristotle's social and political philosophies, as well as their metaphysical grounds.
He received his doctorate of philosophy at Tulane University. His dissertation, "Philosophy and the Cave of Opinion: the Graeco-Arabic Tradition," examines the medieval Arabic philosopher Alfarabi and his debt to Aristotle regarding the relation between philosophy and politics. The dissertation takes its bearings from Plato's allegory of the cave, which highlights the twofold character of philosophy as ascent out of and descent back into the cave of generally accepted opinion. This work will be the grounds for a new translation into English from the medieval Latin of Alfarabi's discussion of the allegory, as well as a future book.
Shawn is also working on Immanuel Kant's understanding of "belief" or "faith" as it relates to his social and political philosophy, with respect to both the epistemic form and content of belief. This work will underline the similarity Kant has to medieval Islamic theories of faith and religious hermeneutics and, in doing so, aim to correct major misunderstandings that have arisen owing to Kant's enigmatic claim that he "found it necessary to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith [Glaube]."

'RuPaul's Drag Race' Returns to Logo for a Third Season, Premieres January 2011
The Top 12 Drag Queens Go Toe-To-Toe for the Title of 'America's Next Drag Superstar'
Michelle Visage Joins the Hit Franchise as a Permanent Judge
Nov 15, 2010, 06:00 ET
NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- RuPaul's now-iconic declaration, "You better work!," has never rung more true than with the third season premiere of Logo's hit show "RuPaul's Drag Race." From numerous celebrities naming the series one of their most beloved reality competition shows to former contestants appearing on the runway at New York Fashion Week, "RuPaul's Drag Race" has grown from a cult favorite into a mainstream phenomenon. Clearly, this season's queens have some big (high-heeled) shoes to fill if they want to make it to the finish line. Bigger name guest judges, "OMFG" challenges and higher stakes will make this the most sensational season as the queens fight tooth-and-press-on-nail for the title of "America's Next Drag Superstar." "RuPaul's Drag Race" returns January 2011 on Logo.
RuPaul, the world's most famous drag queen, has pushed the boundaries of popular culture on an international level and continues to make history this season with "RuPaul's Drag Race," the first reality television show featuring drag queens. RuPaul is back for a third season to decide who will "shante! stay!" or "sashay away" with a new batch of the nation's hottest, most glamorous drag queens. Wigs will fly and drama will run high as the contestants bring their over-the-top attitudes to the drag battle royale that is "RuPaul's Drag Race."
The following are the 12, season three "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestants:
- Alexis Mateo (St Petersburg, FL)
- Carmen Carrera (Elmwood, NJ)
- Delta Work (Norwalk, CA)
- India Ferrah (Springfield, OH)
- Manila Luzon (New York City, NY)
- Mariah (Atlanta, GA)
- Mimi Imfurst (Astoria, NY)
- Phoenix (Atlanta, GA)
- Raja (West Hollywood, CA)
- Stacy Layne Matthews (Backswamp, NC)
- Venus D-Lite (Los Angeles, CA)
- Yara Sofia (Bayamon, PR)
In addition, this season of "RuPaul's Drag Race" welcomes Michelle Visage as a new permanent judge alongside RuPaul and Santino Rice. Visage was RuPaul's outspoken sidekick for over 100 episodes of the original "RuPaul Show" on VH1. Many also know Visage as a member of the 1990s platinum-selling group "Seduction" with the iconic hit "Two to Make It Right." This pop diva continued in the music business with a successful career as a radio morning host for the past 15 years including: WKTU 103.5 with co-host RuPaul (New York), KHHT HOT 92.3 (Los Angeles) and MIX 102.7 (New York). The combo of her music and pop culture savvy, comedic timing and sass make her a natural choice as the new permanent judge.
In the end, only one contestant will have what it takes to win the coveted title of "America's Next Drag Superstar," and a prize package that includes a headlining spot on Logo's Drag Race Tour, featuring cocktails perfected by ABSOLUT®, a lifetime supply of Kryolan Professional Make-up and a cash prize of $75,000.

What Is a Normal Blood Sugar for an Infant?
specifically a 3 month old…. My son was recently admitted to the hospital after some sezuire activity and excessive vommiting. I was a gestational diabetic and I am concerned. The records from the hospital show glucose levels of 299(lab) and 322 accucheck. I was wondering since it had been so long since he had a bottle (apparently 8-9 hours)why his glucose was so high. Could it have been an effect of the anti-seizure meds they gave upon admission and if not, is this normal for a three month old formula fed infant?
The normal blood glucose range for a 3 month old infant is the same as that for a child or adult. A normal fasting blood glucose is <105 mg/dl, and a normal random blood glucose is <140 mg/dl.
Stress and illness can result in the production of hormones that cause elevated blood glucose levels. In addition illness can cause alterations in normal body functions that in turn can affect blood glucose levels. The glucose levels you are reporting are abnormal for a healthy infant. But they could be explainable in a child experiencing seizures and other physical stresses. As you suggested, medications can sometimes cause elevations in blood glucose levels as well.
It is important that you discuss your concerns with your child's primary care provider, or the provider caring for your son during his admission. If the elevated blood glucose levels were not related to acute events or illness, then you need to know the plan for follow-up.

Bruins have Penguins on the ropes after Game 3 double-OT win
Boston, MA – Patrice Bergeron's redirection with 4:41 remaining in double overtime sent the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals from TD Garden.
Jaromir Jagr won a battle along the left-wing boards in the neutral zone against Evgeni Malkin and fed ahead to Brad Marchand, who waited until Bergeron had a step on Pens defenseman Brooks Orpik before dishing across for the game-winning tip.
"We found a way, I guess. That's the only way you've got to look at it," said Bergeron. "It wasn't necessarily our best effort in the first 60 (minutes), but I thought we re-grouped well in overtime and we had some really good chances in the first overtime. We kept battling and said that we have to find a way somehow. We did in the second overtime."
David Krejci scored early in regulation for the Bruins, who now hold a commanding 3-0 series edge and can advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in three seasons with a win in Game 4 on home ice Friday.
Tuukka Rask was solid once again, stopping a playoff-high 53 shots for the win, as Boston halted a six-game home skid against the top seed in the conference.
Chris Kunitz tallied in the second period for the Penguins, who are one loss away from being dumped from the postseason by the Bruins for the first time since 1980.
Boston was also the last team to sweep Pittsburgh out of the playoffs, taking four straight in the quaterfinal round in 1979.
Tomas Vokoun acquitted himself well in defeat, making 38 saves, two days after being pulled from a 6-1 loss which saw him give up three goals on 12 shots in less than one period.
"The whole game we felt really comfortable with our play," said Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. "We felt like it was just a matter of time before we were going to get it. Unfortunately we didn't, they hung around and got one at the end."
The hosts took the lead just 1:42 after the opening faceoff. Milan Lucic picked off a weak clear along the left-wing boards inside the Pittsburgh zone, and fed behind the net for Krejci, who held the puck for five seconds before skating back over the goal line and unleashing a shot that deflected off a Pens defender and by Vokoun.
Pittsburgh finally squared the score with 8:51 played in the second, when Kunitz was left alone on the left side to one-time a backhand pass from Paul Martin over Rask.
Shots were 15-11 for the visitors in the middle 20 minutes, and both goaltenders saved their best work for the late stages.
Malkin was denied by Rask's left pad on a rush inside of four minutes left, and Vokoun did the same in the waning seconds off a Zdeno Chara point blast during a Boston power play.
The visitors racked up a 14-4 shot edge in the third period, slowly beginning to find their legs against a hesitant Bruins club which fumbled away a pair of power-play chances, but neither goaltender faltered.
Vokoun was sharp to deflect away a Nathan Horton breakaway chance with almost 2 1/2 minutes gone in the extra period, and had some luck thrown his way after Horton hit the right post from the left circle as the clock ticked up to eight minutes gone in OT.
Despite a golden chance to end it at the 3:47 mark of the fifth period, the Pens couldn't click on a Bruins bench minor penalty. Jarome Iginla's individual effort went awry when he fell over Rask after cutting in from the right wing with just over seven minutes played in the second OT.
Game Notes
Wednesday's result was the Bruins' first playoff overtime victory against the Penguins since a 5-4 OT decision in Game 2 of the Wales Conference finals on May 3, 1991 ... Rask's previous record for saves in one playoff contest was 45, set in both Games 3 and 4 of the first round at Toronto ... Boston hasn't recorded a four-game sweep since dispatching Philadelphia in the second round two years ago ... Pittsburgh hasn't won a playoff series after dropping two in a row at home to start since the 1996 Eastern quarterfinals against Washington, a six-game triumph ... Bruins forward Gregory Campbell left the game in the second period and did not return with an apparent leg injury suffered when he dove feet-first to stop a Malkin slap shot ... Chara led all players with 42:05 of ice time, while Kris Letang led all Penguins with 40:50 TOI.

I want to cook a hardy healthy roast beef dinner for my family, but seeming as I have never cooked roast beef what vegatables could I use to bring out more natural and refreshing tastes?
Many vegetables go nicely with beef. If you have a cut of beef that only needs baking rather than a tougher cut that needs to be stewed or braised, you could try just using a spice rub and serve with a colorful variety of roasted vegetables, which could be done while the roast beef is cooking. If you need to use a liquid to tenderize the beef, such as a stew, try browsing a cookbook for different ideas. Traditional stews use broth and/or tomatoes with a variety of vegetables. Potatoes, onions, carrots and green beans are always a good start,

Riot Games became the latest video game developer to suffer a data breach, the Santa Monica company disclosed Tuesday.
Real names, user names, email addresses and encrypted passwords belonging to "a portion" of North American players of League of Legends game were "accessed," Riot co-founders Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck said in an online note. Additionally, 120,000 transaction records from 2011 that contained encrypted credit card numbers were also "accessed," they said.
"Our investigation is ongoing and we will take all necessary steps to protect players," the co-founders wrote.
PHOTOS: The 10 biggest tech gadget fails
The company did not say how the breach occurred and the note offered few clues. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
League of Legends claims 32 million players worldwide, making it arguably the most popular free online game of its kind. Players compete on their computers over the Internet. Two teams of five people are pitted against each other in a quest to capture the other's base. Players pay real money to buy an in-game currency needed to acquire some optional extras.
Riot said users affected by the breach would be notified via email, adding that all users will be asked "to change their passwords to stronger ones that are much harder to guess."
The company is working on developing a system to allow for email verification and text-message verification before changes can be made to an account.
Ubisoft, Konami, Nintendo are among other video game makers who notified users of personal-data breaches in recent months.
Some of the hacking incidents related to the video game industry have been connected to activists trying to spotlight what they saw as restrictive game usage policies set by companies. Another set of cyberattacks have been linked to attempts to steal the in-game currency or the computer code, perhaps to build counterfeits.

The Little Wood
Behind the main camp there were two more crematoria. Krems IV, and V. See 1943 photo of Krematorium IV.
They were considerably smaller than II, and III but were still of sufficient size to kill many people each day. The area was cordoned off with barbed wire. Branches of leaves were woven thickly into the wire to deaden noises and shield the crematoria and gas chambers from view. The first view is of the path leading to Krematorium V that began operations on April 4, 1943. It had a cremation capacity of 768 corpses in a 24-hour period. The ruins of the structure are at the end of the path. Scrolling around to the left you see the entirety of the Little Wood on the Krematorium V side. People were either brought here by truck or were forced to walk about a mile to what has become known as "The Little Wood"; for what they had been told was a disinfecting shower and then work. But this was simply another brutal joke. What the Nazis really meant by disinfection was cleansing the world of what they considered the "lower breeds of mankind".

Tate Stevens Performs 'From This Moment On' on 'X Factor'
Tate Stevens won the most votes on 'X Factor' last week, but does he have what it takes to be the overall victor? On tonight's episode of the show (Nov. 14), he performed a passionate and heartfelt rendition of Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On,' leaving behind a lasting impression on the judges.
"This is my guy!" exclaimed L.A. Reid. Britney Spears was quick to contribute her own thoughts on the contestant's genuine performance (which was directed toward his wife). "Your performance was so heartfelt, and your vocals were amazing!" she exclaimed. "That was better than last week," Simon Cowell remarked.
While Stevens admitted that the stress of it all culminated in tonight's episode, he still believes that he has what it takes to move on. "I do feel the pressure for being No. 1 last week," he said. "This week, No. 12 can be No. 1 and No. 1 can be No. 12. You just have to bring it each week."
This 37-year-old road worker has won over America in the recent past, so let's see if it can happen again! It's up to you (the viewers) to decide if he's capable of winning this thing.

Angampora is a deeply spiritual form of combat that draws a lot of its philosophies from different aspects of nature and astrology and also has a strong connection to music and employ rhythmic, flowing movements. 'Angam Pora' or Angampora or Angam means 'unarmed combat'. Combat techniques wherein weapons are used are called 'Illangam'. As a part of Angampora, 'Maya Angam' is a technique which involves the use of spells and incantations to confuse or bring an opponent down. Angampora Guru, Mahantharachchige Ajantha, who is responsible for the revival of this 'Angam Maduwa' or Angampora School of War (A mud hut built specially for Angampora practice), located in Korathota village, 35 kilometers (20 miles) outside the capital Colombo, in the middle of a paddy field away from the buzz of the city, explained that there is written evidence to prove the existence of this combat form of Angampora that dates back over 5000 years and myths and folklore that goes as far as 38,000 years that speak of the art of fighting named 'Angam' or Angampora, making it one of the oldest known forms of martial arts in the world.

For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness-God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.—1 Thessalonians 2:5-6
If this is a fairly accurate view of things, what can we say then when Christian men vie with one another for place and position? What can we answer when we see them hungrily seeking for praise and honor? How can we excuse that passion for publicity which is so glaringly evident among Christian leaders? What about political ambition in Church circles? What about the fevered palm that is stretched out for more and bigger "love offerings"? What about the shameless egotism among Christians? How can we explain the gross man-worship that habitually blows up one and another popular leader to the size of a colossus? What about the obsequious hand kissing of moneyed men by those purporting to be sound preachers of the gospel?
There is only one answer to these questions; it is simply that in these manifestations we see the world and nothing but the world. No passionate profession of love for 'souls' can change evil into good. These are the very sins that crucified Jesus. The Pursuit of Man, 126.
"Deliver me, O God, from this insidious trap. Give me a humble spirit, willing to serve You faithfully, however obscure might be my service. Amen."

Many people will know audiogames.hnet has for a long time had a sister, a rather chatty sister who likes writing lots of letters and who always pinches all the sausage rolls at family get togethers and who irritates uncle lunux no end, then again there was that business where apparently she borrowed her Aunt's best cocktail dress to go out clubbing and got tia Maria all over the front so that it had to be dry cleaned, which meant Aunty couldn't wear it for her cousins' wedding to that nasty man Windows (what she sees in him I don't know), which caused all of that side of the family to stop speaking to the other side, accept when that second cousin's first wife Mac makes those extra special sausage rolls that Audeasy really likes but can't ever persuade her to get the recipe for.
Hmmm, Methinks this metaphor has rather run away with me.
so as I was saying, this forum has a sister, the audeasy mailing list.
Well a few months ago, the list moved, and is now the blind gamers mailing list, which might explain why anyone subscribed wasn't getting emails.
The new home for the list is here and links to join the group can be found on that page
The list is still moderated by Damien and Shane just as when it was called Audeasy, and of course it's distinguished history is still present.
so anyone who fancies games discussion by mail as well as by forum, feel free to dig in and sign up, ---- and try the sausage rolls, they're lovely as long as you don't mind offending aunty.
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)

For years, U.S. cotton farmers have been hearing about the need for an "early harvest" to help them produce maximum yields and high-quality fiber from their crops.
But a new use of the term by a European Union official could have U.S. producers' blood boiling when word of the EU trade commissioner's comments begins to circulate through the Cotton Belt.
"Time is not on our side," Peter Mandelson was quoted as saying in a speech to West African cotton producers in Mali. "Collapsing prices today threaten the future of your industry tomorrow."
Mandelson called for an "early harvest" of the U.S. cotton program in the current Doha Round of the World Trade Organization negotiations. This would be despite an agreement by WTO members last year to not single out cotton for special treatment in the Round, which is expected to be concluded in 2006.
National Cotton Council officials and the chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry expressed disappointment at Mandelson's comments, which were released by his office in Brussels.
"The EU trade commissioner's call for cotton's early harvest is divisive and holds the potential to send the Doha Round into a chaotic free-for-all," said Woods Eastland, the NCC's chairman.
"The widely accepted single undertaking approach avoids country-by-country sensitivities and limits the potential for brinksmanship in negotiations. Any move away from this approach will seriously damage whatever confidence the U.S. cotton industry currently has in the WTO system."
Mandelson said Africa's cotton farmers "cannot afford to wait while talks in Geneva move slowly towards a conclusion. You should not be held hostage to the resolution of other issues and problems in the world trade round."
Claims by African farmers that they were being harmed by the U.S. cotton program were first publicized in a series of articles in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times in August 2002.
Cotton Council leaders said the claims, which it says are untrue, were orchestrated by OxFam, a charity organization based in the United Kingdom that contends that the industrial and agricultural policies of the developed countries are detrimental to the economies of Third World countries.
Attempts by a group of countries led by Brazil to force the WTO to order the United States and the European Union to dismantle their cotton subsidy programs are generally credited with causing the collapse of the Doha Round talks in Cancun, Mexico, in September 2003.
Last year, the African countries of Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad and Mali gave up demands that cotton be treated separately from the general negotiations in exchange for a promise that a special panel would be set up within the WTO to monitor the impact of crop subsidies.
"The special sub-committee on cotton that has been set up in Geneva must now deliver results," said Mandelson, noting that cotton accounts for 30 to 40 percent of the export earnings of the four countries and that 15 million people depend on it for their living.
"The United States, and to a lesser extent the EU and China, provide direct government assistance to their cotton producers," he said. "The World Bank estimates that these cotton support policies reduce world prices by some 10 to 15 percent, and that, at present. We are probably witnessing the sharpest drop in these prices since 1985."
That last statement drew a sharp retort from the Cotton Council's president and CEO, Mark Lange. "The EU subsidizes virtually every agricultural sector and annually outspends the United States by a factor of three, yet it does an excellent job of trying to talk like a reformer," Lange said.
"The EU is attempting to leverage the developing world as it did in Cancun. Before the EU announcement, the latest reports from Geneva indicated that progress was being made in agriculture and that it was possible for there to be significant achievements prior to the Hong Kong meeting. Abandoning the single undertaking approach at this stage could upset further negotiations."
Lange said the idea of dramatically changing the terms and conditions affecting one agricultural sector while leaving all other crops unchanged is naïve at best and crippling to other commodities at worst.
"Farmers do not operate in a vacuum," Lange said. "Isolating specific crops can upset the balance in commodity markets and is a short-sighted trade remedy."
The U.S. cotton program is not the source of economic hardship for farmers in African countries, he said. The fault lies instead with their continued reliance on a monopolistic, para-statal ginning and marketing system.
"This system fails to provide competitive markets for growers, charges inflated prices for inputs and fails to use internationally accepted grading standards and marketing practices. The result is incomes for African cotton farmers that are below reasonable expectations. Further, the EU's failure to join with U.S. farmers in promoting increased consumption of cotton products worldwide has resulted in per capita cotton consumption in Europe well below U.S. levels."
Instead, EU consumers disproportionately purchase man-made chemical fiber textiles and apparel, Lange noted.
African farmers, he said, need assistance in improving agronomic practices, establishing a reliable classing system, improving infrastructure and ginning, privatization of marketing and distribution, and assistance in expanding markets to improve farm income.
"The U.S. cotton industry, working cooperatively with USDA and U.S. AID, has initiated several development programs designed to assist African farmers in achieving these results," he said. "The U.S. also has called for a comprehensive, sectoral negotiation to address inequities and unfair trading practices that exist throughout the fiber, textile and apparel complex following conclusion of the Doha round.
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Saxby Chambliss issued a statement saying he did not support separate negotiations for cotton in the Doha Round and would urge the U.S. trade representative to reject the tactic.
"While the United States will comply with our obligations under the dispute settlement panel and promote real reform in the agriculture sector, I do not support separating cotton from the comprehensive negotiations currently under way," said Chambliss, R-Ga. "Mr. Mandelson's time and effort could better help developing countries by insuring negotiators in Geneva reach agreement on a methodology to cut tariffs.
"The World Bank reports market access is crucial for developing countries in the Doha Development Round. Negotiations are at a critical point and dependent on developments in the coming weeks. Mr. Mandelson's comments were not helpful, and I would urge him to focus on the immediate task at hand."

With final order, judge says Kentucky must recognize same-sex couples' marriages
February 27, 2014
Today, U.S. District Court Judge John Heyburn finalized his February 12 decision in Bourke v. Beshear, which seeks recognition for same-sex couples' legal marriages performed in other states. The ruling is effective immediately, meaning that today, legally married same-sex couples are recognized as such by the state of Kentucky.
The decision (read it here) comes just a few hours after the state of Kentucky requested a stay
The Associated Press reports:
The order means same-sex couples may change their names on official identifications and documents and obtain any other benefits of a married couple in Kentucky. The order doesn't affect a related lawsuit seeking to force the state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Kentucky's attorney general asked a federal judge on Thursday to delay by 90 days an order requiring the state to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries ... which hasn't been ruled upon.
The judge, U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II, was nominated to the seat by President George H. W. Bush, on Senator Mitch McConnell's recommendation, both high-profile Republicans. In the past two and a half months, seven federal judges have ruled in favor of the freedom to marry, following rulings from Judge Shelby in Utah, Judge Kern in Oklahoma, Judge Black in Ohio, Judge Wright Allen in Virginia, Judge Coleman in Illinois, and Judge Garcia in Texas.
The case, Bourke & Deleon v. Beshear, was filed on July 26, 2013 by private lawyers in Louisville, KY. The case argued that Kentucky's anti-marriage laws violate the due process and equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution. The case was filed on behalf of four married same-sex couples living in Kentucky. One of the plaintiff couples, Gregory Bourke and Michael Deleon, have been together for 31 years and married in Canada in 2004. Because of Kentucky's anti-marriage laws, they are treated as an unmarried couple. Today, they are officially recognized by their home state.
This week, Judge Heyburn also allowed two unmarried same-sex couples to intervene in the case, seeking the freedom to marry specifically in Kentucky. Defendants now have until March 19 to reply to the intervening complaint.

...fishing that is! I fished with my friend Tim over the weekend in St. Augustine. We saw over 40 tailing Reds up on the flooded grass flats to kick the season off. They were challenging to say the least playing there typical hide and seek games. Most were in the lower slot size. I ended up catching a couple mid to upper slot Reds with this bigger one pictured below which was caught on my last cast of the night before the lights went out. Redfish Grass hunting season is officially open. :wink
