Mitch was a big fan of the movie Tron: Legacy, specially because he was a really big fan of Olivia Wilde, who played Quorra in the movie, a beautiful program in a computer world called the Grid.
He always wished he could visit the Grid in real life, it was an interesting and exciting place where he could have awesome adventures... and of course meeting Quorra because he was pretty sure he would never meet Olivia Wilde in real life.
One day while checking his mail, he found a particular message from an unknown user, he wasn't going to open it because he thought it was some sort of virus, but when he saw that the subject was "The Grid", he changed his mind, he opened the mail but it had just a 2 lines on it:
If you want to Experience The Grid, click the next link:
Thinking it was some sort of online game, he clicked the link right away, hoping to see at least some pics of Quorra on the game, but as soon as he clicked the link, his entire body glowed with a blue light, his image dissorted and a lot of numbers and symbols started replacing his whole body, suddenly he was violently sucked inside the computer, making him faint for a few minutes.
When Mitch finally opened his eyes, he was in some sort of dark room, standing on a glowing blue plataform, he was pretty surprised he was standing up since he fainted, but then 4 women with white skintight bodysuits surrounded him.
"New user detected" said the 4 women at the same time
"what? User?" said him very confused, but then he remebered a scene like that in the movie and he got very excited, appearently he was in The Grid for real, but before he could said anything else, the girls pointed at him and fired some sort of laser from their fingertips, making his clothes to vanish like pixels from a game along with every single hair on his body, making his skin softer, he covered his private parts while a girl got close to him and put a big black disk on his back.
"What is that?!" said Mitch a little freaked out
"We're installing the Last ISO program" answered the women simply, suddenly, a lot memories busted inside Mitch's head "installing memories" said the women "Deleting obsolete ones" Mitch's mind went blank for a second and then a torrent of memories replaced his own ones.
But his memories weren't the only thing that changed, his body shrank form 6'1'' to 5'7'' his hair became brigh black and grew a little, his eyelashes curled, his eyes took an almond shape and became bright blue, his nose became smaller and cuter and his lips got plumper and softer.
Mitch was paralized but he wasn't fighting to break free since he lost his memories, the changes kept going down as his Adam's apple vanished and his neck got thinner, then his shoulders shrank and became more stylized, his arms lost all his muscles and became thinner and his hands became smaller and dainty.
His muscular chest shrank as 2 cute 34C cup breast blossomed on it, his stomach squeezed inwards, his ribcage shrank, and his waist caved inwards, giving him a curvy upper body.
The women didn't said a word and he neither, his penis slowly shrank inside his body and it was replaced by a beautiful vagina, her hips slowly filled until they got a perfect heart shape and her legs became longer, softer and thinner, finally, her feet became smaller and cuter.
When the body changes where done, a skintight black bodysuit with blue lighting appeared from the disk in her back and covered the new girl.
"Installation complete" said the women at the same time "Please identify yourself, and your purpose"
"I am Quorra" answered the girl "I am the last of the ISO's, and i have to share... i have to share... something with the world... i... what do i have to...?"
"Memory corrupted!" said the 4 women as the girl holded her head trying to focus, she wasn't Quorra, she was Mitch... no wait, Who's Mitch?!, she was Olivia Wilde, not Quorra or Mitch (whoever he was)
She listened a phone ringing in the far and bright blue light like the one that took her there covered her body and a really bright light flashed... Olivia Wilde woke up a little scared and breathing harshly, she was in front of her computer, appearently she fell asleep and she had a random dream where she was a boy and she got transformed into Quorra, the girl she played in the Tron movie, she looked down and saw that she was wearing a black dress, and her hair was longer than Quorra's.
"Now that's a weird dream!" said her laughing at her own imagination and picking up the phone "Hello?"
"Hi Olivia!" it was her fiance's voice "What took you so long?"
"I was asleep" answered her
"Did i woke you up?" asked the man obviously a little ashamed and with a guilty tone
"Yeah, but don't worry, i was having a very weird dream" said her "i'm glad you did it"
"Okay" said him relieved "i'm on my way to pick you up, i have a romantic night planned for us"
"Great" said the girl smiling "i'll be ready when you arrive!"
The girl hung up the phone, turned her computer of with a last smile and she went to get ready for her date...

Available in moat college bookstores and most bookstores that have science or ecology sections. Dr. Daniels was America's leading authority on solar energy. Excellent background material for any solar energy experimentation with students, farmers or builders. Fairly technical. Chapters on radiation, measurement, geographical distribution of radiation, as well as chapters on solar cooking, heating buildings, heating and distilling water, solar drying and solar energy conversions to electrical energy.

This book is fun to read through to develop an appreciation for the practical arts of the late 1800's, as well as increase one's awareness of the methods used for appropriate technology. It is a collection of practical science recipes and processes. Its major drawback is that the terms used for various chemicals and processes are antiquated and are not readily translatable to the young scientist of the late 1900's! We hope to remedy this in a later Peace Corps publication. Recipes and processes in Dick's include: soap making, wine making, brewing, perfumes, toothpastes, cheese, preservatives, disinfectants, cements, and pastes, whitewash and paints, electroplating, acids and alkaloids, and medical receipts. Useful and enjoyable!

I think you can look around at a lot of the content based around photography on the Internet and extract a theme: people want to be better photographers. At the lower levels of the hobby thats fairly easy. There are a lot of concrete skills and tips to pick up and integrate that are available via a variety of mediums. Doing tutorials for processing. Covering some basic design concepts like composition and other visual elements for shooting. Learning about lens optics and exactly what is going on in your camera. There are a lot of easily articulated skills to practice; it can keep you busy for years just consuming the basic instructional content.
But what happens when you bump into The End of the Internet?
Really its not that simple I suppose. Its not a lack of content because goddamn, theres an infinite amount but rather a lack of applicability. Once you reach an endgame state, there are no more tutorials to make you better. There are no easy answers to the question, How do I get better at photography? You already understand the thirds rule of composition, and you at least have heard about the golden ratio and other compositional rules. Youve probably developed an automatic eye to utilize those. But then it becomes a question repetition. Thousands of times, tens of thousands. Enough to wear out a shutter. And thats soul crushing, because people live through narrative, not repetition. And theres no good, fulfilling story inside And then I tried ten thousand slightly different compositions over ten years to fine tune the exact placement of my foreground elements.
So you need a philosophy. You need a set of rules and a guiding story that can help you down the path of years, instead of down a path of day or weeks. You need to zoom out from your tutorial existence that is one day to the next. You want to be better at taking photos. We all do. And its easy to say, intellectually, that its just practice, time invested. But its hard to live that.
This is my philosophy, my structure for this art. It is not the be-all-end-all. I dont think such a thing exists, mind, but I think there are some universal concepts that are useful and I think theres a good basic way to tie them together. Thats what this is. Its just a net that maybe you can tote out on your fishing boat and cast into the ocean of the world and maybe, if youre lucky and skilled and paying attention, catch some stuff reliably. Im just another person with this net and I didnt even weave it all, I found it and just patched some parts up.
First, you need to idealize something. You need a destination. Where do you want your photos to go? Who is better than you? Identify them. Photography is very ego-laden but I guarantee even the best, most self-assured photographers know someone that they at least suspect is better than them. Find as many examples of this as you can. Learn about those people. Especially learn their process, the thoughts they have as they create. Advanced levels of any art become less about the mechanical details of technique and more about the details of what is going on in the creators mind. Learn their mind. But bottom line, know what looks better than what you are doing. Have a target. Study it.
Then, through study, identify what specifically is better. There is something, its specific, find it. You may not have the vocabulary to understand it, but you can see it visually. Manipulating concepts is difficult without a solid vocabulary, but it is possible. Work on finding a simple word, even just one. Get started on something. Is your ideal photography clearer? Is it emotional? Is it warm? Is it cold? you can find one word, I guarantee it. Then find two words. Then three. It isnt easy, nothing valuable is easy. But find words and apply the internet to them, or even just take it to discussion. Generate more vocabulary. Google that vocabulary. Think about what you already know about processing, shooting, seeing and apply that concept. Apply several concepts! Snowball it, get exponential growth happening.
Then plateau. Because thats what happens. You will plateau, every time you identify a concept that can improve your photography. You will apply it until you get sick of it, master it, and then plateau. And thats when you start the process over. Yeah, youre better now. Maybe youre much better. Hey, maybe youre really f**king gifted and theres hardly anyone whose work you cannot break down into simple concepts in your own mind in moments. But I bet theres at least one that isnt so easily broken down. I bet theres someone thats a little better than you, a little more aware of the medium.

One of my favorite children's stories is Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh. A snake is searching for and catching cute little mice. The mice are smart little critters and learn that with teamwork they can escape a dangerous situation. It is a fun way to connect literacy and math.
Sound scary??? The author/illustrator has created a significant border around each illustration to help keep Mr. Snake contained in the story.
Read the story, then have your own mouse count!
Items to create a Mouse Count:
large pompoms (these are your mice), a plastic container, and tongs.
Optional supplies:
wiggle eyes, yarn and glue gun or elmers glue to put eyes and tails on your mice.
If I'm working with really young kids I don't decorate the mice because they tend to pick the eyes and tails off. We just use our imagination. It is okay to keep it simple!
How to have a Mouse Count:
1. Read the story to your child, then go on a mouse hunt! Hide the 'mice' and have your child hunt for them, pick them up with the tongs, and put them in the container.
2. Encourage your child to count the mice as he finds them or she can count them after they have all been caught.
3. Using the tongs to pick up the mice adds a fine motor component related to scissor skills, plus it seems just a little more 'snakey' 🙂
4. You can also talk about the color of your cute little mice.
5. You can discuss how the mice worked together to thwart the pesky snake.
Have fun reading, hunting, and counting together!

The morning dawned cool and damp with just a whisper of wind. Near perfect scenting conditions for Little Snoopy, our young Elhew Pointer. It seemed as though October would never come when Snoopy went into her kennel last February. While the dogs and I both welcomed a rest in February, it was only a couple of weeks when we began to miss those long walks across the uplands and mountains of West Virginia.
But as always, time began to fly. Chasing the grandchildren around from gym to gym while they wrestled across West Virginia and Pennsylvania, then from diamond to diamond through the baseball season and then from stadium to stadium as football dominated their young lives kept us plenty busy. But in the back of our minds we were watching for those first cool mornings and evenings ushered in as the fall Jetstream began to dip.
Snoopy was shaking with excitement and anticipation of the day's hunt as I placed her tiny bell around her neck. I couldn't help but notice that Ol' Jack Frost had already danced across the higher ridges splashing and dripping vivid shades of red on the maples and sumac. As always, the first frosts of the season would be coming. We were hunting on top of a high plateau in Grant County, where a small mountain brook, lined with alder, wound its way in and out of an old pasture and dumped into an area of cut over timber. There would be both resident and migrant woodcock in this area…
I was engulfed in the colors and smells of fall as I tracked the sound of Snoopy's bell weaving in and out of the alders along the little creek. Suddenly I realized that the tinkle of her bell had ceased. Quickly I moved forward into the thick alders. After about 15 yards I spotted the little black and white pointer stretched out as tight as a banjo string. It was thick and I had to bend over and work my way toward the dog.
Just as I was able to stand erect a woodcock sprang into the air.

Haddocks in AR, Jim Haddock, born around1940
Hi all, My name is Charity Lynnand my biological father is Jim Haddock, last known to live in Gentry, AR. I know absolutly nothing about this side of my family as I barely know my father. He married and divorced Christine, and had several children: Brenda, Rosemary, Pollyanna, Lewis, Jim, Corey, and possibly others. I am primarily interested in finding my sisters who live in either North Carolina, or south Carolina. I haven't seen them since I was a very small child. Iam also interested in knowing at least a little about my ancestors, who they were, what they did. And if I possibly have any other family out there, aunts uncles cousins, ect. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated, this is the last place I know of to hopefully get some info. Thank you. Lynn Robbins

Re: Throwing myself a WHOMmy Pitty Party- Wanna Join!
I'm in! I just finished pumping... and spilled a bottle of milk all over the floor! I was rushing so I could get to a meeting... which turned out to be pointless and not require my input (in fact it was blatantly ignored). When DD is home (Dh has flexible schedule, gets baby time 2-3x week) I get pictures of what they are doing and little texts like, "should I stop at so-and-so's house for a play date?" I would love to stop at someone's house for a play date. While DD clearly smiles for me and DH, it KILLS me that she also smiles for DCP.
SAHM was soo not an option for me, financially or personally - but MAN there are days when I would give anything to be with my family.

Re: Throwing myself a WHOMmy Pitty Party- Wanna Join!
Thank you everyone, or no thank you for all of us...something like that! This morning I left in such a hurry and last night we had to pick up my husbands car, get groceries and drop of Prevent Child Abuse stuff to the library. I hadn't been home all day and we arrived at home at 10:30pm. I put the kids to sleep, got up this am, practiced speech with big one and cuddled baby for about 5 min then had to leave again! GRRRR.
I do love my job and its incredibly rewarding work that I do. I am extremely passionate about it..Im a victim advocate for domestic/sexual abuse and child abuse. People tell me its my calling and I feel that way too most days, but lately....I just want to be with my babies!

Here are two more pieces that were taken out of the kiln. They are both wheel thrown using low fire (^ 04) white. I love the colours that I got from these; especially the bottle which reminds me of smoke.
However, the vase didn't have such a nice time in the kiln and I now have a vase that's stuck to it's stand and if you look closely you'll see evidence of pinholes. I still like what happened to the colour and will try to rescue it from the base. Any suggestions are welcome.
Be blessed,

America's Cup New Zealand Coverage Criticized As 'Television Evangelism'
A couple weeks ago, the America's Cup "stopped being a boat race and turned into a gospel meeting that merged religion and patriotism," according to Mark Reason of FAIRFAX NZ NEWS. In Australia and New Zealand, it "has been compelling viewing." The racing "has teetered on the twin edges of danger and rivalry." And do not "forget farce." The boats and the backdrops "have been breathtaking." The sailors, the designers and the boatbuilders "inspire our admiration." But 1.5 million New Zealander viewers "are not all interested in yachting." We "are being played by the marketers and the presenters of TVNZ." Objectivity and impartiality, which were once at least distant goals in sections of the media, "have been abandoned on the altar of commerce." The America's Cup is about viewing numbers "and viewing numbers are about selling product." One's coverage of the race "is television evangelism." Since when did "we" become part of national broadcasting? Since Rupert Murdoch decided back in the '80s that "sport was the religion of the masses and turned television coverage into a promo package that has subsequently spawned the likes of Man United TV and now, apparently, Team NZ TV." That is "patriotism for you." Albert Einstein "called it the measles of mankind." Mark Twain "called it the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about" (FAIRFAX NZ NEWS, 9/22). FAIRFAX NZ NEWS' Duncan Johnstone suggested this America's Cup "is reality television gone mad." The inflexibility of the racing schedule "is at the root of the problem." It is "a nonsense." But that is "it's timeslot on the small screen." The America's Cup is bowing to a TV audience in the U.S. "that is comparatively nonexistent when viewed alongside the major sports that dominate the screens at this time of the year, primarily baseball and NFL." Yet "the rest of the sailing world suffers" (FAIRFAX NZ NEWS, 9/23).

You say that in a very general way. I'm not imagining all the specific cases, I'm sure, but all those of which I conceive would cause Debian to lose its trademark interests if that happened.

I disagree. Stamping it on the side of your building isn't distribution. In any case, you're mixing copyright concerns like distribution into trademark issues. It's not legal for me to sell shoes with the Nike logo, unless they're Nike shoes. The copyright on the swoosh doesn't matter to this; the trademark registration does. >> or anyone in the privacy of their home, or mirrors who distribute it >> unmodified?

That's exactly what I'm talking about, and that is non-free. We've already prohibited those by registering a trademark. We lose the trademark if we do not enforce that. You seem to think there's a middle ground, where we don't enforce our trademark but don't lose it, but I'm not seeing it. >> So Knoppix could use the swirl Open Use logo, but only to >> represent the idea of Debian -- say, with the words "Debian derived" >> or as a logo for a link to Debian's site.

Any other image in Debian could (I certainly hope) be > taken and used unmodified as a logo; why not the Debian logo image? > "Because it's the Debian logo." is not a reason to be non-free. That's not true at all. There are images in xbill, for example, which are logos of various other companies. The firefox and mozilla logos cannot be taken and used unmodified as logos. There are trademarks shown by some xscreensaver hacks, particularly bsod. You cannot even take the string "Linux" and use it as a logo without infringing the trademark. > I certainly hope you agree that the suggested restrictions are non-free. Not at all. I think trademarks as such are a kind of name, and it's free to require exceptional clarity with names. The trademark part is entirely distinct from the functional part of any work, so that's OK. > unmodified or modified use of any Free image as a logo is perfectly > reasonable. Any special restriction that you can only justify by > saying "it's the Debian logo" is a non-free restriction; it's an > image, and it should be usable just like any other Free image. It's not justified that way, but by saying "it's a logo, a name. You're free to create derivative works of any variety, and to distribute them freely. But trademark law prevents you from using anything confusingly similar to a registered mark. That's not a property of the works Debian is shipping. >> Your proposed license, in any case, says that recipients may not use >> this software (the logo image) as a basis for other software (logo >> images) that competes with ours. > > That's exactly the kind of restriction I'm trying to avoid; if I have > somehow not made that clear, my apologies. :) Hm. I can't see any way to let, say, Red Hat start shipping CDs with a big Debian swirl on the top, and Fedora inside with a little note in the README saying "logo is from Debian. We're not endorsed by Debian" without losing our trademark. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen email@example.com

What I actually saw was on TLC or something however the study seemed pretty conclusive - unless people here think it was rigged (this is a conspiracy forum after all).
According to NVIC's report, a majority of Gardasil adverse event reports to VAERS involved those who suffered fever, nausea, headache or pain; 14 percent were for syncopal episodes with or without neurological signs; and 8 percent experienced tingling, numbness and loss of sensation, facial paralysis or Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Although adverse event reports to VAERS do not prove causation, they can provide an early warning sign that a new vaccine may be causing health problems that could be important. For example, reports to VAERS of bowel blockage (intussusception) in babies following receipt of Merck's Rota Teq (rotavirus) vaccine prompted the FDA to issue a public warning to doctors and consumers on Feb. 13.
NVIC also found that there were several VAERS reports of HPV infection, genital warts and cervical lesions after Gardasil vaccination. It is unknown if the girls were infected with HPV before being vaccinated or if Gardasil failed to protect them. One case of HPV infection occurred in a 22-year-old girl who had participated in a Merck Gardasil trial in 2003 when she had shown "strong conversion to all 4 vaccine types" but "tested positive for high risk HPV" in 2006, according to the VAERS report.*

...instead of healing we just drug and cover.
All information provided by Vaccination Information Service is sourced from orthodox peer-reviewed medical research from the world's most prestigious medical journals (over 100,000 pages studied). Ironically this research is sponsored in most cases by the vaccine manufacturers themselves.
The term "immunisation", often substituted for vaccination, is false and should be legally challenged, because it is well documented in medical research (see articles within) that the direct injection of foreign proteins and other toxic material (particularly known immune-sensitising poisons such as mercury) sensitises, meaning makes the recipient more, not less, easily affected by what he/she encounters in the future. This means they do the opposite of immunise, commonly even preventing immunity from developing after natural exposure. (Vaccines "de-immunise".)
A host of health problems (and sometimes death itself) result from these directly injected poisons, which are in unpredictably varying amounts from one batch to the next. Sanctioned Russian Roulette.
The actual frequency of health problems has been estimated by authorities to be possibly up to 100 times, or more, greater than that reported (see articles within), that difference being due to the fact that doctors are not given any real incentive to report adverse effects. They are also being told that they must never let their patients (or parents) think that the risks could outweigh the benefits, so it is normal policy to deny a link no matter how apparent it is to the patient (or parent).
The only thing that does immunise (i.e. enable the body to protect itself from harm by foreign organisms) is Mother Nature, provided she is properly supported with sufficient basic nutrition, and her sophisticated immune development process not interfered with. "Organically-grown" (vaccine-free) children arouse frequent comments due to their noticeably stronger health, alertness, awareness and happier demeanor. Their parents frequently comment that they learn faster than their vaccinated older siblings did, and are ahead of their peers at school.

It's one thing to make story speculations on a poster, but trailers raise up all sorts of new questions. With Star Trek Into Darkness continuing the story from 2009's franchise reboot, the crew of the Enterprise must match wits with Sherlock himself, Benedict Cumberbatch. Check out the ominous teaser trailer!
From the amount of monologuing Benedict Cumberbatch is doing, I'm really looking forward to seeing Spock slap him around. Let's not forget that for its time, original Star Trek was less like this:
For the record, Forbidden Planet is still awesome
and more like this:
so the movie's still lookin' pretty cool. After seeing the teaser, what are your thoughts on Star Trek Into Darkness?

As top-ranked Alabama pulls into town on Saturday night to play Kentucky, the status of suspended safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix remains up in the air.
Meanwhile, USA Today reports that many are watching to see how the NCAA handles the specifics of the Clinton-Dix suspension, especially given the friendship between NCAA president Mark Emmet and Alabama coach Nick Saban.
Clinton-Dix was suspended for allegedly receiving a $500 loan from an assistant strength coach, who has been placed on administrative leave.
Before that revelation, Yahoo Sports reported that offensive lineman D.J. Fluker accepted money and gits in 2012.
Emmert was chancellor at LSU when the Baton Rouge school hired Saban away from Michigan State.
"Chancellor Emmert is absolutely the best boss I've ever had," Saban said at LSU in 2004, according to the story.
Could that present a conflict?
Alabama has two perceived friends in high places: Emmert and Alabama graduate Derrick Crawford, a director of enforcement for the NCAA. In the outside world, it's akin to being accused of a crime and having the charges investigated at the police station where your uncle is the police chief and your friend is the top detective.
"That's why (the NCAA) probably will handle this case very carefully — because of the perception," said Michael Buckner, a private attorney in Miami who specializes in NCAA cases. "They're probably going to err on the side of caution, so that nothing they do could be seen as being improper."
ESPN's Outside the Lines did a recent report about problems with the NCAA concerning "selective enforcement" where former employees said that certain schools were targeted while other schools were treated differently.
Meanwhile, Landon Collins started in place of Clinton-Dix for Bama's 45-3 win over Georgia State last week. Geno Smith also saw time at the position. Collins previously was primarily a cornerback but was tutored personally by Saban before the Georgia State game. Collins and Smith would meet with the head coach for 45 minutes before practice to go over the fine points of the position.

JORDAN, Minn.—Two women are facing charges after leading police on a car chase that wound through the crowded interstate system in the Twin Cities metro.
Authorities say the pursuit began Monday afternoon after officers spotted a vehicle that was reported stolen. The driver took off and ended up on I-94, crashing into two vehicles and weaving in and out of traffic. With a long line of state troopers following, the driver sped onto I-494, passing vehicles on the left and right shoulders.
Police say the women threw drugs out of the vehicle during the pursuit. The chase eventually ended on Highway 169 near Jordan when the car broke down.
The two 24-year-old women were taken into custody.

Friday marked James Filanc's fourth trip to Augusta in two months. The owner of Care Path Informatics in Sylvania, Ohio, said he and his partners are seriously considering moving the year-old health care software company to Augusta.
Local business leaders hope a day at Augusta National Golf Club watching the Masters Tournament will influence their decision.
Care Path is just one of 22 biotechnology and life sciences companies with representatives in Augusta this week as part of the Augusta Showcase, an economic development event organized by the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce, the mayor's office and local medical leaders.
"They have treated us like rock stars," Mr. Filanc said. "The hospitality is palpable, and the charm of this community is obvious."
Guests were chosen for their ties to the biotech industry and their interest in expanding or relocating to the Southeast. Of course, it doesn't hurt if they like golf, too.
"Everyone has been extremely receptive," Showcase Chairman Phil Wahl said. "Of course, the big draw is the Masters, but the guests are also excited about being real players in a medical community where they can be highly regarded and respected."
Mr. Filanc's company recently applied for a federal research grant from the Medical College of Georgia, further deepening Care Path's ties to Augusta. MCG professor Roger Vega is the chairman of Care Path's technology advisory committee.
"Between MCG's mission to grow research and the community's commitment to expansion, something's happening here," Mr. Filanc said. "You can feel it in the air ... Formalizing our relationship with MCG will be considered a milestone in this company's history."
Event organizers were tight-lipped about others on the guest list, hoping to protect the confidentiality of relocation prospects, some of whom traveled from as far away as Scotland and Argentina.
The campaign was modeled in part after the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's Red Carpet Tour, which was created to use the Masters Tournament as a tool to attract industry to the state.
Red Carpet's statewide focus means Augusta must share prospects with other Georgia cities. The Showcase, however, focuses solely on Augusta and the surrounding communities.
"It's a great thing for Augusta," Mr. Wahl said of the Showcase, now in its second year. "We're very positive about getting some tangible results soon."
"They have treated us like rock stars. The hospitality is palpable, and the charm of this community is obvious." - James Filanc, business owner and Augusta Showcase guest

Philadelphia, PA-The PhilaU Men's basketball team has been no stranger to preseason accolades this year. Two more national polls were released recently and both included the Rams. The NABC/Division II Preseason Coaches' Poll picked PhilaU at #25, while the Basketball Times Preseason Poll gave the maroon and gray a #12 ranking.
The PhilaU team was the lone Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) team to make either poll.
The NABC list included two PhilaU opponents this season: including #3 Southwest Baptist and #15 Merrimack.
PhilaU head coach Herb Magee will be celebrating his 50th year at the University this season, as a player, assistant coach and head coach. He is currently third on the NCAA list for All-Time Coaching Wins (880) and will look to surpass legendary former Indiana coach Bobby Knight's record of 902 wins this season.
The Basketball Times also gave nods to senior 6'4 forward Malcolm Ingram (Philadelphia, PA/ Solebury Prep) and senior 6'1 guard Russell Frederick (Baltimore, MD/ Calvert Hall) as Preseason All-Americans.

Udinese have Antonio Di Natale and Diego Fabbrini in the starting XI as they fight for a Champions League spot with Sporting Braga.
The Friulani earned a creditable 1-1 draw in Portugal last week, so qualification to the group phase is decided on home turf with kick-off at 19.45 UK time.
Francesco Guidolin changed eight players for Saturday's 2-1 Serie A defeat to Fiorentina, resting stars like hitman Di Natale.
The veteran is back in the line-up tonight and joined by Fabbrini, who recently received his first senior Italy cap against England, in an unchanged side from the first leg.
Giampiero Pinzi required a late fitness test after suffering a left thigh problem and made it into the starting XI.
Sporting Braga also needed to get the doctor's advice on Helder Barbosa's right foot injury, but he was not considered fit enough for even a spot on the bench.
This means Ruben Amorim steps in, while Ismaily features after scoring a sensational equaliser in the first leg.
The referee is Dutchman Bjorn Kuipers.
Udinese: Brkic; Benatia, Danilo, Domizzi; Basta, Pinzi, Willians, Pereyra, Armero; Fabbrini; Di Natale
Udinese bench: Pawlowski, Coda, Pasquale, Heurtaux, Badu, Maicosuel, Muriel
Sporting Braga: Beto; Leandro Salino, Douglao, Paulo Vinicius, Ismaily; Custodio, Hugo Viana, Alan, Mossoro, Ruben Amorim; Lima
Sporting Braga bench: Quim, Nuno Andre Coelho, Ruben Micael, Djamal, Paulo Cesar, Eder, Carlao

Another success for Pachanga Latino Music Festival! On May 14-16 the music event and Austin cultural staple expanded to include cities Dallas and Houston for the first time. Last year Pachanga proved a huge hit when crowds flocked to see singer Julieta Venegas and this year, its 8th year running, the fest continued to draw crowds with a mix of well-known Hispanic musicians and bands and smaller, indie ones.
The crowds Pachanga attracts are also impressively diverse, demonstrating the fest's ability to cater to many different types of people. Earlier in the day families with small children abounded, exploring the many kid-focused activities organized for little ones. A little later, once the big-name bands like Compass and Kinky began to play, the groups of teenagers and adults sans kids poured into the fest. What's more people came all over Texas, out-of-state and even outside the country as many Mexican tourists showed up to cheer on national favorites like Ceci Bastida and Kinky.
A noticeable theme throughout the fest was the impressive display of musical 'girl power.' Throughout the day and evening the fest featured girl bands or female musicians whose messages and styles expressed confidence in their femininity and in their dreams. In fact, one of the first bands to take the stage was none other than Austin, Texas's own "Tiarra Girls", a local band that has taken the city by storm. A rock band of three teenage sisters, they delighted the crowd by performing their own songs as well as covers of Selena and Juanes. Keep an eye on these girls – they are going places!
Not long after Ceci Bastida, Tijuana native who began her singing career at age 15, took the stage and bared her soul with pieces that explored politics and violence from a woman's uniquely deep perspective. She has said in interviews that when she composed such pieces she was pregnant, wondering how to bring new life into such a dark world. Her singing and lyrics felt uniquely female as they at once explored her fears and sought empowerment through them.
But perhaps the biggest hit of the night was Mala Rodriguez, who traveled all the way from Spain for a rare North American musical performance! Raised in a poor family she became involved in the music scene as a teenager and since become one of the first women to achieve success in Spanish-language hip-hop. At Pachanga she mesmerized the audience with fierce rap sets whose sheer power and speed most audiences are only used to hearing from male rappers.
Pachanga oganizers certainly chose well by including powerful female figures in their line-up. Who would Latinitas like to see in the lineup next year? Any ideas?

AbstractThe goal of this SBIR Phase II project is to bring the demonstrated Gallium Nitride (GaN) microdisplay technology to industrial maturity and to final commercialization levels. The project's goal will be accomplished by further optimizing the microdisplay device structural design and fabrication process based on the demonstrative results obtained in Phase I. Based on high-efficiency semiconductor micro-light-emitting diode (microLED) array technology, the GaN microdisplay is the first of its kind based on semiconductor LEDs. Specifically, by the hybrid integration of GaN microLED arrays with Si CMOS driver circuits through flip-chip bonding, active matrix addressable GaN microdisplays will have a compact size and will be able to support more information content and movie display due to their high pixel filling factor, uniformity, luminance, and power efficiency. The unique intrinsic properties of GaN microLEDs - high brightness (> 10 microwatt optical output power for microLEDs of 18 micrometer in diameter), wide viewing angle (~ 160 degrees), fast response time (< 1 ns), and high thermal and vibrational resistance, make GaN microdisplays a perfect solution for environmentally demanding applications such as head-up displays (HUD) in modern vehicles and aircrafts, head-mounted displays (HMD) for firefighters and other rescue operatives, and hand-held mini-projectors for field applications. Microdisplays have a small size (typically less than 1 inch diagonal) with a resolution from low end to above XVGA format. They are magnified by optics to form enlarged virtual or projected images for viewing by a user. Microdisplays can be used in a variety of devices such as head-mounted displays, video headsets, camcorder viewfinders, projection TV, head-up displays, etc. and have many commercial applications. GaN microdisplay, with its superior performance over other microdisplay technologies, is especially suitable for environmentally demanding applications that require high brightness, high reliability, and wide operating temperature range. With a slight modification of the material composition, GaN microLED arrays developed here can vary the emitted wavelength from the green to the ultraviolet range, which is very suitable for fluorescence analysis used in new type chemical-biology agent detector array or DNA/protein microchips. The GaN microLED array also has the potential for applications such as optical links and parallel computing. Other applications also include spatially resolved optical studies of biological, medical, and health care systems. The research will also enrich the general knowledge of wide bandgap semiconductor micro- and nano-photonics.

Here's a nice review of the Porsche 911 GT3, Porsche's ultimate car, from down under.
But I was amazed I'd never rumbled it before and could only put it down to one thing: for every flaw in this classic sportscar there is a more-than-compensating piece of perfection. Set your size 9s to work and you quickly appreciate the effort that has gone into connecting these metal tabs with the mechanicals. They're so precise and direct you feel like you could flex a toe and the engine would respond. They make the controls in other cars seem like baseball bats by comparison.
That's the way it is with the 911 and why it retains its appeal. It's unique in the car world in retaining a rear-engined layout that defies physics by placing all the heavy bits somewhere south of the rear axle. The consequent handling qualities, even as ironed out by today's ubiquitous software systems, make it unlike any other car.
"If there is one Porsche that best demonstrates that what we as a company learn on the race track we are able to build into our road cars, then the GT3 is that car," said Porsche Cars Australia managing director Michael Winkler. "The GT3 is in many ways the ultimate Porsche."
Difficult to disagree.

ATHENS - The University of Georgia has purchased a historic mill property near downtown Athens and the UGA campus to temporarily house a Medical College of Georgia satellite planned for Athens.
The UGA Real Estate Foundation will pay about $7.3 million to buy the O'Malley's building and about five acres of land between the North Oconee River and Williams Street, it was announced Tuesday. The UGA Real Estate Foundation is a nonprofit corporation that now handles most real estate transactions for UGA.
The foundation also will pay an estimated $7 million more to get the building ready for medical school classes by fall 2009, said Tim Burgess, UGA's senior vice president for finance and administration. Burgess also is the foundation's chairman.
UGA architects will complete plans for the 36,845-square-foot building - actually two connected 150-year-old buildings - during the next three months, Burgess said.
After renovation, the old mill buildings will include classrooms, offices, exam rooms, a library and laboratories for gross anatomy, pathology and histology - almost everything needed to teach courses for first- and second-year medical students, Burgess said.
A permanent home for the medical campus is planned on a Normaltown tract now occupied by the U.S. Navy Supply Corps School, which is scheduled to move to Rhode Island in 2011.
Land is a historic site
The new UGA acquisition is a historic site that was occupied by a series of mills beginning in 1829. The three-story buildings that stand on the site now were built in 1857 and 1858 and housed the Athens Cotton and Wool Factory until 1926, said UGA spokesman Tom Jackson.
It is known as the DialAmerica building to younger Athenians because of the telemarketing company that occupied the site for more than a decade. To others, it's known as O'Malley's because part of the old mill was renovated in the late 1970s to house O'Malley's Tavern, a popular bar in the 1980s.
DialAmerica occupied the buildings for more than a decade until the company left about a year ago, said Carl Nichols, one of the building's owners.
The real estate foundation Tuesday signed a contract to buy the property from Athens Manufacturing Co., a corporation that has owned the property since 1996, according to Athens-Clarke County tax records.
The owners of Athens Manufacturing Co. include Nichols, Ken Fulghum and the estates of John E. "Buck" Griffin, Chuck McClure and former UGA President Fred Davison, Nichols said.
UGA officials have been negotiating with Nichols to buy the property since September, Burgess said.
Property valued at $3.4M
The O'Malley's property is valued at about $3.4 million on Athens-Clarke County tax rolls, but appraisers placed its value at $7.3 million, the price UGA will pay, Nichols said.
The university will pay the foundation back during a 20-year period for the $14.3 million the foundation will spend to buy and renovate the property, Burgess said.
UGA officials have not decided how to use the O'Malley's building after the medical students move to the Navy school property, but the building might be used as classroom and laboratory space for some UGA classes, Burgess said.
UGA won't begin detailed planning for the Navy school campus until the Georgia legislature decides how much money to appropriate for the new medical school campus, Burgess said.

Michel, do you think it would make sense to backport a more recent copy of the drm modules to the older kernel, or do you see problems in doing this ? Friendly, Sven Luther

DENVER, COLO. (KRQE) – The brothers who own the Colorado cantaloupe farm behind a deadly listeria outbreak were sentenced Tuesday.
Eric and Ryan Jensen pleaded guilty last year to six federal counts and under a plea deal they were sentenced to five years probation and six months of home detention.
The outbreak in 2011 killed 33 people including five New Mexicans. Two of those New Mexico families have filed a lawsuit in the case.
The Jensen brothers must also pay $150,000 in restitution.

That's Entertainment From The New Look NFFC
The 3-2 win over Watford at the weekend has been well received by the fans and manager alike and the feelgood factor surrounding the Reds has returned, just as it looked to have faded away following the defeat at Swansea only 7 days earlier.
It was the first win of the season for Forest and one that will give the players and the fans a sense of confidence for the future. The problems that we've endured in recent times haven't been banished just yet, but signs are that we are seeing the light at the end of a very long and very dark tunnel.
Yesterday's win over one of the division's more fancied teams shows that the club has come along way in improving since last season. The game was a thriller from start to finish and although the quality may have been limited at times, the passion and desire on show is something that has been missing from the side for many a year.
Calderwood told the official site. 'It was a fantastic game, a great advert for English football and we've come out of it smiling because we won. It was on a knife edge for a long time, but we put in a performance that gave us a chance of winning the game.'
One of the most pleasing aspects of the game was that all three goals came from the front men, an area that was a previous concern for us all. They were quality strikes too, with each one worthy of winning any game. It's still very much early days, but the omens are good. It could be down to earth with a bump though, as we entertain Roy Keane's Black Cats on Wednesday in the 2nd round of the Carling Cup.

LA Store - Third Street: Mordigan Nurseries
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
The other day, Gregory blogged planting for LA's Mediterranean Climate. Mordigan's Nurseries, on Third Street, just west of Fairfax, a sprawling gardener's resource, is a great place to start lookiing for those plants you'll need to create a climate-appropriate garden.
A calm oasis, surrounded by the chaos of The Grove and the bustling foot and car traffic on West Third, it's well-stocked with healthy plants, the key to gardening success. Now run by third generation owners, Mark Siebel and his sister, Mary Bambino, there's an attention to personal service here that you won't find at Home Depot. They know how to leave you alone to amble among the plants and, then, reappear just as a question forms in your mind. Talk to them about your situation and they'll take the time to offer suggestions about what to buy and answer your questions about how to care for it. Thinking about keeping your garden pest-free and well-nourished the natural way? Order worm castings and ladybugs here, worms too, a must for easy composting. A selection of pots – from the plain to the kitschy – doesn't hurt and they have parking, though we suggest getting here early in the morning. Later on, it gets crowded. Oh, and if it doesn't all fit into your Smart Car, they deliver.

Family Guy: Back To The Multiverse Set For "Gaming Consoles"
There are just too many lines from the show that would help to introduce this news...so pick one of your favorites.
Today, Activision and Twentieth Century Fox have announced Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, which is coming gaming consoles this fall. They didn't specify which consoles are targeted, but we can probably form an educated guess.
This adventure is inspired by the episode with the same title, which came to TV in 2009; Stewie and Brian use a remote control to travel to parallel universes, which include The Flintstones and Disney environments. We don't have any other details at this point, but we're hoping it turns out a little better than 2006's Family Guy effort, which was mildly entertaining but certainly far from being a top-quality game. It was kinda funny, though.
There's also Family Guy Online, which is a free-to-play PC title that is in beta testing for the time being. So obviously, Activision wants to build on the success of the uber-popular TV series, and we'd like to think a new Griffin adventure could be pretty funny and worth our time.

Ahh, one of my favorite episodes! Wonder how it'll be executed, though!? Who are the writers for the game? If it's not anyone on the actual Family Guy team, that sort of ruins it for me.

family guy died for me when it got canned for that controversial few episode.
first 3 series were really funny, after that it just became really outdrawn and, well, frustrating.
every joke goes on for 20 minutes too long, like the episode where peter brings in a frog and its dead so he spends the next 10 minutes fumbling with it to throw it out the window.
or you have the plain boring episodes like where they end up going to the north pole to kill santa.
not a single thing thats funny in that episode!
as for the game, well, its made by antivision.
and its a game based on a TV series, a TV series which is pretty crap now.
so yeah does not take a genius to predict how this is going to turn out.

Please select the model of your Chevrolet Captiva to view it's accessories.
Being American, Chevrolet is usually known for building big, strong people carriers and pick up trucks. The Captiva however, was made and styled in Korea, so it's unlikely that much of the good old American stereotype has influenced the model. The Captiva is loaded with safety features such as side safety airbags, which are standard in this SUV, and ESP is installed which works alongside the all wheel drive package, keeping a tab on any information directed from the steering wheel, tyres, brakes and accelerator pedal and automatically makes important changes controlling the grip of the car. There are many features in the Chevrolet Captiva making the ride safer, aswell as comfier. The Captiva is a 7 seater car, which unlike most cars with the extra seats, gives comfort and space for all passengers. Alike most, the Captiva's extra 2 seats are most suited to children, although they are a lot easier to reach, due to the vehicles big rear doors. Each of the chairs you leave up, reduces the boot space, although these chairs are easily dropped back into the floor until needed, leaving a good-sized boot area. The tailgate opens nice and wide, but you can also just use the pop up rear window to drop bits and pieces into the car. The Chevrolet Captiva is a good ride, but tends to be quite bumpy, as it lacks the ability to soak them up as well as other vehicles in the same range.
Select your Chevrolet Captiva model to see a range of accessories such front bars, side steps and bumper protectors available for your vehicle.

Brazil's most influential industry lobby is preparing to ask the government to slap tariffs on cheap Chinese imports of textiles, toys and other products.
The Sao Paulo State Industry Federation, or FIESP, is making the move as part of a growing struggle against contraband, pirated and undertaxed goods in Brazil. FIESP's efforts to seek tariffs come only a few months after Brazil pledged to recognize China as a market economy, which could make it tougher to charge the Asian manufacturing powerhouse with dumping, or selling goods at artificially low prices, in the future.
"China is more tolerant than anyone else (in the world) of unfair competition practices, whether it's dumping or whether it's subsidies," the head of FIESP's international commerce department, Roberto Giannetti, told Dow Jones Newswires this week. He cited manufacturers of toys, textiles, shoes and eyewear as some of the victims of Chinese imports.
FIESP aims to deliver its tariff petition to Brazil's Trade Ministry within two to three weeks, Giannetti said.
The petition may signal a shift in the winds of global trade alliances blowing in Brazil. China, with its fast rise to prominence on the world stage, is suddenly making Brazil - itself one of the world's biggest developing economies - feel more sanguine toward the kind of trade rules and intellectual property rights that once seemed to stand in the way of its own domestic manufacturers.
A few weeks ago, FIESP invited Brazil's top global commerce official, Trade Minister Luiz Furlan, to speak at a conference that stressed intellectual property rights as a crucial way to fight piracy and informal economies.
"Brazil finally recognizes the importance of addressing the piracy issue," said Furlan, seated on a panel alongside US Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN) and US Ambassador to Brazil John Danilovic.
The US, which threatened to revoke Brazil's preferred trading partner status unless piracy was addressed, decided last week to give Brazil six more months on the A-list. The preferential status is worth billions in reduced tariffs to exporters.
Ironically, FIESP's efforts to impugn Chinese imports come just months after visiting Chinese officials pledged to invest billions in Brazil and Brazil pledged to recognize China as a market economy. If enough other members of the World Trade Organization recognize China as such, it will become more difficult to successfully lodge antidumping complaints against the Asian nation.
Emerson Kapaz, a former Brazilian congressman who now heads an anti-piracy lobby known as ETCO, estimated that more than half the goods traded in Brazil's informal economy come from China, although he admits it's hard to be sure. Contraband cigarettes, for example, were making their way across the border from Paraguay decades before China gained entrance to the WTO in 2001.
A study completed by the McKinsey consulting group found that about 40% of Brazil's economy to be informal, meaning it deals in trade of contraband, pirated or undertaxed goods. The same study concluded that governments at all levels lose some 160 billion reals ($1=BRL2.6) per year as a result.
That's a staggering sum, equal to roughly 10% of Brazil's gross domestic product. Last year, Brazil worked hard to post a primary budget surplus of only half that size - BRL81 billion - or 4.6% of GDP. The hope is that budget surpluses will help pay down debts, eventually leading to lower interest rates and more growth.
But even if Brazil's informal economy was thriving long before Chinese goods flooded the market, the Asian nation is increasingly at the center of the trade and piracy debates as its industries overshadow smaller local manufacturers in Brazil.
"This isn't just a problem with China, but it's like the elephant in the china shop. It's so big it can't move without everyone noticing," said ETCO's Kapaz.
As a result, some domestic manufacturers are unhappy about growing trade with China. Brazil's chemicals industry lobby Abiquim, for example, says China

We may not be staring down mutually assured destruction the way we believed we were back in the Cold War days of the mid-20th century. But the recent tensions between the United States and Russia can make you oddly nostalgic for those chilly years when we were sure we were just a push of "the button" away from annihilation.
If you are subject to that creepy reminiscence, the Kentucky Theatre has a very well-timed Summer Classic Wednesday: the 1964 Stanley Kubrick satire Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It shows at 1:30 and 7:15 p.m. Wednesday.
The movie was loosely based on the Peter George novel Red Alert and takes place during a crisis in which crazy Gen. Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) — that name, alone, tells you where this film is going — has ordered a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, which would unleash the rain of nuclear weapons that would leave both nations and much of the world in ruins. There are also characters named Maj. T. J. "King" Kong and Col. Bat Guano. Fun.
The real fun is the dark comedy of all the varied interests scrambling to deal with the situation, including comic genius Peter Sellers playing three roles including the title character, a former Nazi and nuclear weapons expert with an out of control hand who is one of President Merkin Muffley's (also played by Sellers, and another funny name if you want to look it up) top advisers. As the danger deepens, Strangelove is the one that suggests gathering several hundred thousand people with a 10-to-one ratio of women to men to live in mineshafts and repopulate the country after nuclear devastation.
Sellers, who was known for performances playing multiple characters, also played British officer Lionel Mandrake who tries to face down Ripper and his derranged theories about Russians poisoning Americans' "precious bodily fluids." Sellers was also supposed to portay Maj. Kong, the Texas bombardier focused on fulfilling his nuclear mission, but had to bow out because of an injury giving Slim Pickens a chance to turn in one of his most memorable performances.
And the film is certainly remembered by people who experienced in the context of the fear it mocked, coming in at No. 3 on the American Film Institute's list of funniest American movies and being called, "arguably the best political satire of the century," by the late Roger Ebert.

Operating System (OS) processes requests at different levels. This layered architecture is called a protection ring, which comprises of 4 hierarchical levels. Requests are allocated resources based on the process and priority levels. Ring0 [highest in priority] is the kernel-mode/kernel land, where kernel processes run. Ring 1 and 2 are for various device drivers to run on, though many OS [including Windows] never use these 2 levels of the ring. Ring 3 is the user-mode/user land, where the user processes run.
Figure 1. Protection Ring
Why is protection ring important? Well, let us look at an analogy that explains this architecture in simpler terms. Consider the outer-most ring as your perimeter/fencing around the house. Many can attempt to cross the fencing and a few can succeed depending on the deterrence, detection and prevention techniques used. Warning boards and video surveillance warning messages act as deterrence. Video cameras and [pressure, motion, etc.] sensors could be used for detection. Security guards could help in prevention mechanism. In the protection ring architecture, Ring 3 is the least privilege mode and runs user program. Attackers would target this ring to start with, to enter the system. Client-side exploits such as buffer overflow, ActiveX exploits, and other exploits that run on client system.
Once the attacker has crossed the fence, in the golden days it was more secure. Since the fence was around the village and then the villagers acted as human sensors. Once the attacker crossed the villagers, he would then be facing a swamp of alligators and then forts layer after layer. But then, in the modern days there is no water for swamp or space for alligators. Things have become so small that we use only 2 layers out of the 4, or at least Windows does. Hence, if the attacker crosses the fence, the only other hurdle is the house itself. In the protection ring, this is the kernel. This is where the highest privileged processes run.
It does sound complicated, but it is really simple to understand with the following figure [2] that shows layered interaction from a user process to the hardware:
Figure 2. Interaction between layers - User, Kernel and Hardware
Just like translators in the real world, users need different levels of translation when they would have to interact with the hardware. Hardware understands machine language [1's and 0's], which is not easy for a user to talk. Hence, user codes in languages that is understandable to human [combination of English and system instructions]. This then has to be converted to assembly, and some humans know how to read and write assembly. Assembly language then gets translated to machine code. Even though this could seem like communication between the various layers, the true aspect of protection levels is to run processes of specific privileges at their respective layers, to provide resources based on requirement and for various other security reasons.

Satisfaction? Guaranteed, after this one
- |
PHILADELPHIA — Now that the Bruins are on the verge of playing in their first conference final since 1992, it seems like an appropriate time to ask the following question:
What regular season?
I mean, really. It all seems like a six-month blur now, doesn't it? All those injuries. All those nights when two goals would have made them feel like the 1958 Canadiens or 1972 Bruins.
All those lost evenings are utterly irrelevant now that the Boston Bruins have begun playing hockey the way their management and coaching staff always believed they could.
And the game played here last evening might have been the most satisfying triumph of the 2010 postseason. When teams are adjudged to be fairly even — and that would certainly be the implication after Games 1 and 2 of this series — all the logic, all the wisdom, and all the smart money when the home team trails, 2-0, is on them. Hockey, basketball, makes no difference. You usually can't go wrong taking the home team in Game 3.
Two minutes and 32 seconds into the game, the Flyers had their first lead of the series on a goal by Arron Asham. See? Told ya. Buckle up. It's going to be a long night for the Bruins and their fans.
The lead lasted for one minute and 39 seconds. Blake Wheeler deflected one home. One minute and 34 seconds after that, Miroslav Satan — nice pick-up, Mr. Chiarelli — scored yet another goal, and the Bruins would need no more scoring. The final was 4-1. Hey, conventional wisdom can't win 'em all.
"We stayed with it and got two goals pretty quickly,'' said (ex-Flyer) Mark Recchi, who scored goal No. 3 when he pounced on a loose puck during a third-period power play. "Good job by us.''
The Flyers tried a few motivational tricks to engage their crowd. They jazzed up Lauren Hart's pregame "God Bless America'' by interspersing clips from a long-ago Kate Smith performance. They introduced injured tough guy Ian Laperriere (who nearly lost an eye this season) on the big screen during the second period. Nothing helped.
It was a clinic in crowd control. The Bruins took the heart out of the patrons with those two quick first-period goals. From that point on, every errant Flyer pass, every giveaway, and every blown scoring chance was met with that combination of groan, moan, and disgust that only truly pained home crowds can make.
There were scattered boos as early as the first period and there were Serious boos in the third. The big exodus began with 3:20 left, which means several thousand people never saw Patrice Bergeron pick off a pass and deliver the empty-netter with 1:52 remaining.
All this made those six or eight brave Bruins fans seated in the upper reaches extraordinarily happy, no doubt. As any good sports fan knows, there is no better feeling on earth than being present when your team wins a big one on the road.
The final stat sheet in this one is a big, fat liar. You look at it and see that the Flyers had 35 shots on goal to the Bruins' 20 and you might think this game was somehow closer than the final score would indicate. This may be a tribute to how well Tuukka Rask is playing, but it never really felt as if the Flyers were bothering him all that much. He and his teammates were in total control of the game in the final 47 minutes, and that's the truth.
They did it despite losing both center David Krejci and defenseman Adam McQuaid in the first period, and that led to the greatest source of coach Claude Julien's satisfaction. The best Bruins period was the third, and in that period the coach used everyone at his disposal.
"The third period was the most important period of the series so far, and we were able to utilize the whole bench,'' he beamed. "We were able to match. We had fresh guys out there. We did a good job of getting pucks out of our end.''
Among the more pleasing aspects of this great win was the play of Wheeler, who had not been able to build on his nice rookie year, but who is starting to assert himself at just the right time. A 6-foot-5-inch, 200-and-some-odd-pound hunk of hockey manhood is a terrible thing to waste, and the Bruins were getting a bit antsy waiting for him to, you know, do something this year.
That tying goal was the product of industriousness down by the net, and that's where the Bruins feel he can be a real asset.
"In the last half-year, he's been willing to get down in that ugly area and get those ugly goals,'' said Recchi.
"You gain confidence winning battles and getting pucks on the goal,'' acknowledged Wheeler. "Sooner or later, a reward comes your way.''
Krejci was lost in the opening period when he came out the loser in a mid-ice collision win Flyers captain Mike Richards. If he is incapacitated in any way, it will be a serious setback for the Bruins, because Krejci found his game during the Olympics and has been a very important spark in the last two months.
But that's hockey. The Flyers began this series without mainstays Jeff Carter and Simon Gagne and the Bruins lost Marco Sturm for the duration of the playoffs the other night. It's Agincourt. You drag the injured guy away and someone else skates out there. Everyone understands the circumstance and nobody in this game whines about legitimate injuries that are the byproduct of normal competition.
Anyway, there will be plenty of time to assess the Krejci and McQuaid situations. This morning is the time for Bruins fans to strut. The fans lived through hard times from October through mid-April. The team was often unwatchable. Now they're thinking, "Let's play two.''

Place two mirrors on a table face to face situated one foot (30cm) apart. Place a tomato halfway among the
mirrors. The tomato's images form endless reflections in the mirrors.
The question is: If you bring the tomato closer to one of the mirrors, will the two closest images come nearer,
further away, or remain in the same place? Try to figure out the answer to this.
It does not matter where the apple is placed between two mirrors, the two closest images will have be two
feet apart- For instance, if the apple is moved to a position which is one inch (2.5 cm) from one mirror, its
image in that mirror will be two inches (5 cm) from the apple. Its image in the other mirror will be 22 inches (55
cm) from the apple. The point is 22 plus 2 equals 24 inches or two feet (60cm).
