The pieces were all in place for a great 2011-2012 basketball season at St. Bonaventure University. The men added a talented collection of guards to complement an experienced frontcourt led by one of the best players in the country. The women returned the top six scorers from their third straight 20-win season and settled on just one goal before the season began: reaching the NCAA Tournament.
But few could have dreamed that one of the smallest colleges in Division I would send both teams to their respective NCAA Tournaments. When they did, the campus and local communities made sure the teams would never forget what they had accomplished, lining the streets of Allegany and Olean as police cars and fire trucks escorted the team buses to airports for their trips to Nashville, Tallahassee and Raleigh. When the teams arrived at their NCAA sites, local fans, alumni and students turned out in droves to support them.
"A Legacy Defined" is 128 pages and chronicles the madness of March in New York's Southern Tier with stories about the seasons and tournaments, and more than 100 memorable photos, from the games and behind the scenes.
Proceeds from the book will benefit the Bonaventure Athletic Fund.
The book includes reprinted articles on each team's run to glory, plus new material on how their seasons unfolded and the highs and lows along the way. Among the highlights are more than a hundred photos of their seasons, including some behind-the-scenes glimpses during their tournament trips.
Primary photography in the book is by Olean's Craig Melvin, team photographer for the Buffalo Bills.
Contributing writers include Mike Vaccaro, Adrian Wojnarowski, Tom Missel, Chuck Pollock, Dallas Miller, Jason MacBain, Dan McCarthy and Shannon Shepherd.
The St. Bonaventure men (20-12) qualified for the NCAA Tournament by winning three games in three days at the Atlantic 10 Tournament in Atlantic City, eventually losing to third-seeded Florida State, 66-63, in their NCAA opener in a game that went down to the final seconds.
The St. Bonaventure women (31-4) won 18 games in a row before losing to Dayton in the Atlantic 10 title game, but earned a No. 5 seed with an at-large bid and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament with wins over Florida Gulf Coast and Marist in Tallahassee before losing to national runner-up Notre Dame in the next round.
Re-live the excitement of both teams with this limited edition, commemorative book.

Please click HERE for a sample of the book.
This book has been published in connection with the exhibition, The Walls Speak: The Narrative Art of Hildreth Meiere. Joseph A. LoSchiavo, Associate Vice-President, St. Bonaventure University and Executive Director, The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, provides a preface for the book; it was at the Quick Center for the Arts that the exhibition opened before moving to the National Building Museum in Washington, DC, in the spring of 2011. Louise Meiere Dunn, Hildreth's granddaughter, provides a recap of Hildreth Meiere's commissions.
In her lifetime (1892 1961), Hildreth Meiere was considered the most famous, distinguished, and prolific Art Deco muralist in the country. She was also one of America's leading practitioners of the art of mosaic and one of America's most gifted embellishers of architectural environments. She is an important figure in the history of American liturgical art and one of its most ecumenical practitioners. "The challenge in presenting the work of Hildreth Meiere has been in making her mosaics, murals, ceramic tile decoration, stained glass, and exterior metal and enamel sculptures come alive for the visitor. We do this through preparatory sketches, painted cartoons, models, large mosaic samples, and painted altarpieces," said Catherine C. Brawer, the curator of Walls Speak: The Narrative Art of Hildreth Meiere, who assembled the exhibition's materials which represent 25 of Ms. Meiere's most important commissions.

A Pennsylvania couple has been ordered to stand trial on charges they tattooed a smiley face and a derogatory word on a 12-year-old girl who spent the night at their home.
The Titusville Herald reports 33-year-old Randall Charlton III and 30-year-old Melissa Becker, both of Centerville, on Tuesday waived their rights to preliminary hearings on child endangerment and related charges over the May 14 tattooing.
Crawford County prosecutors say Charlton and Becker didn't contact the girl's mother for permission to be tattooed. That's against the law in Pennsylvania.
The girl was visiting children who were being supervised by Charlton and Becker at the time.
According to the affidavit, the girl identified Charlton as the one who tattooed the smiley and the vulgar term toward women on her left forearm.

Is the internet all about being social? Doesn't it wear us out? Doesn't it keep brilliant introverts away from the action? Doesn't it turn us into online social animals but offline antisocial beasts? Are we not living and going through life increasingly alone?
Also, does 'going social' mean we can never be purposeful any more because we always react epidermically, superficially? Like having difficulty finding a balance between thinking and acting?
Is 'getting social' our collective goal? Is that the only guarantee that people will share, learn and improve, or are there propositions on the table?

After participating in a fantastic monthly tweet chat, an interesting question was raised about what fellow Tweeters found more effective: Google+ personal profiles or Google+ business pages?
During the last monthly Twitter I host, we had a very interesting conversation on the differences between Google+ Pages and Profiles.
My friend Janine Beattie, of [url=/u/329076 x-already-notified=1]Optimum Business Support[/url], decided to delve a little deeper to see what would work better. Her conclusion?
"Perhaps we can learn from Facebook and how we engage with a page that has a person's name and image, not just a brand that does the hard sell. The overall outcome of our discussion on#smslantchat was that as small businesses, our engagement and interaction on Google+ personal pages was far higher than on Google+ business pages."

Usually I am terrified of the dentist because most dentists are rough and don't communicate with you. Dr Aram was gentle and communicated almost the whole time he was working on my tooth. If you have questions he is quick to answer them. I would recommend him to anyone :) Its weird to say, but I would gladly go back to the dentist now

Of all the dentists I had experience with for me or my kids, Dr Aram is the most knowleged, gentle and professional dentist.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Porsche 911
By KBB.com Editors
Few cars wear the mantle of automotive icon as gracefully or as righteously as the Porsche 911 Carrera. The basic Carrera lineup now includes Coupe, Targa and Cabriolet body styles, rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations and standard as well as more powerful and sportier "S" variants. While the Carrera4 all-wheel-drive models add an extra measure of cornering stability and all-season confidence, even the standard Carreras offer dramatic proof that Porsche has overcome virtually every potentially negative characteristic one might ever have associated with a rear-engine vehicle. Dynamically and stylistically, the 911 in any guise maintains an intangible mystique that is not matched by such competitors as BMW 6 Series, Cadillac XLR and Lexus SC 430.
If owning the world's best all-around sports car has always been one of your life goals, a 911 Carrera of any stripe could well be the vehicle for which you've been longing. Steeped in tradition, this thoroughly modern version of Porsche's seminal offering delivers a spectacularly well-sorted combination of power, handling and braking, while remaining very livable as an everyday driver.
Cabin space is modest in all 911 Carrera models, a fact that may well put off taller drivers. Minimalist rear seating, limited cargo capacity and the purposefully firmish nature of the suspension tuning, particularly in "S" versions, also could be potential deal breakers.
In a largely carryover year, all 911 Carreras gain a standard tire pressure monitoring system. Meteor Grey Metallic paint and restyled 19-inch Turbo-design alloy wheels join the options list, while the available navigation system adds maps for Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Driving Impressions The 911 is a true sports car, and displays all of the pluses and minuses that go along with the breed. Even the base models are exhilaratingly quick, and all...have surprisingly neutral handling characteristics that make it hard to believe you're in a rear-engine car. Most owners will find the slightly taut suspension tuning totally acceptable, especially given the outstanding level of control it provides, although some may feel the "S" types with their even stiffer settings and lower-profile tires are a bit too harsh on anything but ultra-smooth road surfaces. In keeping with its high-performance character, Porsche designed the 911's available all-wheel-drive system to always send at least 60 percent of the engine's power to the rear wheels.
VarioCam Plus Technology
Introduced on the 2001 911 Turbo, computer-controlled VarioCam Plus technology varies both the timing and lift of the intake valves to improve the engine's performance and fuel efficiency over its entire operating range.
Sport Chrono Package
Linking the throttle, the Porsche Stability Management system and the Porsche Active Suspension Management, the available Sport Chrono Package permits any 911 model to be driven even more aggressively, and includes a supplemental stopwatch on the dash that automatically keeps tabs on lap times and segment intervals for those times when the car is on a race track.
Although the ignition key still slides into a switch located in its traditional position on the left side of the dash, the rest of the 911's interior is decidedly contemporary. Its driver-oriented look and feel is highlighted by highly legible gaugeswith black faces on standard Carreras and silver-white on "S" modelsa tilt/telescoping steering column and firmly supportive but quite comfortable bucket seats. The diminutive rear "buckettes" are marginal even for kids, but the backs fold flat to offer a bit more stowage space. Despite jettisoning the conventional spare tire for a can of sealant and an air compressor, capacity in the 911's forward-positioned trunk is still a modest 4.5 cubic feet.Exterior
While its details have changed over time, the 911's basic silhouette remains a universally recognized form. The current generation boasts a wider body, bolder fender flares and more upright headlamps than its predecessor but retains the now-signature rear decklid spoiler that automatically deploys at 75 miles per hour. All Carrera S variants are fitted with 19-inch alloy wheels in place of the 18-inch rims used on standard Carreras, and with even wider and lower-profile performance tires. Targa models have an oversized sliding glass roof panel, while Cabriolets are crowned with a fully lined and insulated one-touch power top that can be raised or lowered in about 15 seconds and at speeds up to 30 mph.
Both the Carrera and Carrera S include, as standard equipment, a full array of power assists, keyless remote entry, automatic climate control, leather seating surfaces, cruise control, a tilt/telescoping steering column, six-speed manual transmission, the comprehensive Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system, anti-lock disc brakes and an anti-theft immobilizer. The "S" models add larger front brakes, the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), an upgrade from 18-inch to 19-inch wheels and bi-xenon headlamps. All coupes have a power sunroof, all cabriolets a one-touch power top and Carrera4 models are fitted with full-time all-wheel drive. Front, front-side and door-mounted head-protection airbags are standard across the entire 911 lineup.
A key upgrade for all Carreras is the multi-faceted Sport Chrono Package that can keep tabs on lap times and intensify throttle response and tweak suspension settings when paired with the optional Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system. Also offered are new 911 Turbo-type 19-inch two-tone forged alloy wheels and competition-inspired Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB). The S contingent can be further bolstered with a Power Kit that bumps engine output from 355 to 381 horsepower. Other extras include three different seat upgrades, a voice-activated navigation system and a Bose premium audio package, as well as numerous cosmetic tweaks, headed by full leather upholstery and a variety of available interior trim accents, in carbon fiber, aluminum look-stainless steel and dark and light wood.
All 911 Carrera and Carrera S models are fitted with a rear-mounted flat-six boxer engine that uses Porsche's VarioCam Plus variable cam timing and lift technology to optimize responsiveness and operating efficiency. The Carrera's DOHC 3.6-liter makes 325 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, while output figures for the larger 3.8-liter version in the S models jump to 355 and 295, respectively. Either engine can be matched with the standard six-speed manual transmission or five-speed Tiptronic S automatic with shifter buttons mounted on the steering wheel spokes. Regardless of drivetrain configuration, any member of the 911 clan can hit 60 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds or less and top out at 170-plus mph.

"I purchased my 911 3 years ago used/certified from the dealership. Since the day I drove it off the lot, it has been an absolute pleasure. I was surprised by how affordable it was to own this vehicle. Maintenance and service at the dealership was comparatively about the same as any domestic vehicle. I highly recommend researching resale value, service costs and ask people who drive these cars and I hope you come to the same conclusion I did... there is nothing like the feeling of driving a 911!"

"I have owned this car for several years now. The car attracts attention. the sound is distinct, like no other. and in sport mode, the car becomes a beast that none can withstand. a driving machine built with me in mind. sometime I am 17 and reckless to a point but the car is there to guide me. It lets me have fun with some excitement but pulls me back every time. Sometimes I am 57 and just want a nice ride, some music, and time to think, this car allows whatever I demand of it. On the down side, I still worry about where to park it. I have had the car at numerous car shows and cruise nights in the area. It gets lots of looks and pictures taken of it at the shows. No buyer's remorse here just wish it had a PDK."

Pros: "Fast, solid, reliable and iconic."
Cons: "Can be costly to maintain/repair. Skip the PCCB's"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"I ordered my 2006 Carrera S new, including some very pricey options. I now have nearly 120,000 miles on the car including more than 2,000 track miles and have to say the Carrera has been an excellent car. It only comes up short in a couple areas. 1. It is expensive to buy and maintain but that shouldn't be a surprise. Thankfully, it's been a very reliable car despite being driven very hard at times. 2. Some of the interior aluminum-looking parts are actually plastic and haven't held up that well. On the newer models (type 991) they are real aluminum so the quality has improved. I've only had a couple major service issues. The clutch was replaced at 110,000 miles. The air/oil separator failed at about 80,000 miles. The serpentine belt has been replaced twice. And, the windshield has been replaced three times. It might just be bad luck but I've never had glass that was so easy to chip and crack. At $1,000 a pop, replacements are painful. What would I do differently? I ordered this car with PCCB ceramic brakes and X-51 Powerkit. The PCCB's are great on the road but I ruined them on the racetrack. Porsche said I overheated them and I ended up switching to Porsche iron rotors instead of paying $10,000+ to replace the PCCB's. The X-51 Powerkit does provide a bit more power and nice top end rush but isn't worth the price in terms of performance gain. And, if/when I sell the car, I don't think I'll see much gain in resale value for this $16k option. Otherwise it's been a fabulous car and I hope to drive it to 200k miles before moving on to something else."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 21,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Great driver."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Great driver in all regimes. The active PASM in the sport modeallows me go have the lateral stabilty in turns matched to that of the Boxsters I have (2). I can make fast turns without worrying about tail skids. It feels as a 50/50 weight distribution. In normal setting ifgives a comfortable ride for long ddistance driving. Plenty of power and gearbox combination makes it a real pleasure to drive. 2d and 5th gears provide great, fast acceleration response for any situation. Interior is comfortable well appointed. The M97 engine gives peace of mind compared to the M96 engines I have owned."

SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) - A Bloomfield man is due in court on allegations he stole about $10,000 worth of chicken wings and other meat from a South Windsor company where he worked.
43-year-old Boris Delisser is scheduled to be arraigned on a first-degree larceny charge Thursday in Manchester Superior Court. He was arrested last week in connection with the reported thefts last year at County Distributors, a wholesale meat company off Route 5.
Police say Delisser was caught on surveillance video taking products from the warehouse and loading them into a vehicle. Authorities say they later found that Delisser stole meat on several occasions.
Delisser is free after posting $10,000 bail. He couldn't be reached for comment. There's no phone listing for him and it's not clear if he has a lawyer.

The Alps - A Bird's Eye View by Matevž Lenarčič and Janez Bizjak
'This Slovenian biologist/mountaineer/aviator/visionary wants us to see the Alps as the birds do — not divided into eight countries or anyone's possession but a world of marvellous beauties...... Stephen Goodwin

On the south-western threshold of the Ecrins massif stands the Devoluy range, which is divided in a north-south direction by the valley with the Festre saddle, where there are some well-known ski centres on the northern slops of Pic de Bure. From The Alps - A Bird's Eye View by Matevž Lenarcic and Janez Bizjak .
For the last six years the Slovenian alpinist, photographer, and biologist Matevž Lenarčič flew solo in his Earth-friendly Pipistrel Sinus 912 Aircraft around the Alps taking aerial photographs.
Pipistrel Sinus 912
© Pipistrel, Jun 2010
The result is the most glorious celebration and documentation of the Alps in his 512-page large format and heavy book,The Alps - A Bird's Eye View, (it is 28cm wide, 37.5cm and weighs 4.95 kilos).
It quite rightly won the Best Book — Mountain Image at the 2009 Banff Mountain Book Festival, but hasn't had much exposure in the UK.
The 250 colour images (of which 200 are double page spreads) and all are captioned with name, altitude and country; location and altitude when photographing. All the well known peaks and ranges are included and are sub-divided into Southern, Western, Central, and Eastern Alp. These photographs will Wow you but there is much more, there are many maps and extensive essays on the natural history of the Alps written by expert authors: water, forests, flora, fauna; on how mankind has shaped the Alps, on conservation, tourism and thoughts on the future of the area.
The book has been compiled under the patronage of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and includes forewords by the Director-General of UNESCO, Koďchiro Matsuura, Sir Chris Bonington and Marco Onida, Secretary-General of the Alpine Convention. The book was designed by Ivana Kadivec and co-authored by Janez Bizjak
The pleasure this book will give is immense, the inspiration and motivation it will provide for great adventures is without doubt. It will change lives and hopefully have a positive influence of Europe's wild place.
This is a complete work, a work of genius and is essential for anyone with an interest in mountains. Congratulations to Matevž Lenarčič, Janez Bizjak and everyone involved in this complex project. At £55 it's a bargain.

Marmolada's south face is a long, rugged, 800-metre-high barrier with very demanding climbing routes. This view from the south-west, above the ski centre of San Martinno di Castrozza and the surrounding ski slopes with lifts on the Rolle pass, also reveals the mighty face of Cimon della Pala.

The highest mountain and the symbol of Austria lies in the Hohe Tauern and the national park of the same name. The summit was first reached by local climbers from Heiligenblut in 1800. The Pasterze Glacier below the north-east faces is typical of rapidly melting ice and glacial retreat caused by climate change.
The Alps are a strategic European treasury of drinking water.

This marvelous mountain in the Julian Alps above the Soca/Isonzo valley symbolises the most tragic part of the history of the Alps. During the years 1915 - 1917 a succession of battles were waged on these high ridges between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies, bringing death to several hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Over the past 150 years, we have lost about half of the Alpine ice cover.

Zugspitze is Germany's highest peak, situated on the German-Austrian border in the region of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, from where the mountain railway Zugspitzbahn leads to the summit. There are also two gondolas reaching the top of the mountain; one from the German lake Eibsee and the other is the Austrian Tiroler Zugspitzbahn.
The important requirement for the future of the Alps is development in harmony with nature, emphasising the principle that "less is more".

Passeierspitze, the "king of the Lechtal Alps", is also the highest peak in the Northern Limestone Alps. Only 7 km east of the summit, the town of Landeck lies in the Inn valley. Passeierspitze was first climbed by the rope-team Specht-Siess in 1869.

The Maritime Alps Nature Park is the largest park in Piedmont. Some of its summits exceed 3000 m, the highest being Dell' Argentera, and the most southerly Alpine glaciers are situated here. The park, which is connected with the Mercantour National Park in France, has over 80 glacial lakes and rich flora and fauna.

Recently, Tech Cocktail started a new speaker series, SESSIONS, that brings experienced entrepreneurs into an intimate setting where people can hear their stories and learn about building a business. Last Monday, I was able to attend their first event in Boston that focused on the theme of turning startup ideas into action. TC had 2 amazing speakers for the event, Jeff Janer of Springpad and Jessica Kim of BabbaCo.
Janer has started 5 companies, 3 of which have been acquired. His talk focused on…
What's Janer's secret sauce? His answer, "Timing and luck." Of course, hard work is essential if you want to make the most of those two.
Kim spoke about how her entrepreneurial career started off while she was in college. She felt like a local pizza shop's outsourced banana bread wasn't up to par, so she offered to make her own loaves for them to sell. The encounter spawned her first company, Jessica's Wonders, that started off selling baked goods to local shops and later landed Stop and Shop as a client. Her startup advice revolved around what she referred to as the 4 Ps of entrepreneurship:
Both speakers had such a great presence but different ways of storytelling and it was an amazing event all around. Thank you to Boston community manager, Melissa Pocek (whose photos I used in this post) and the Tech Cocktail team and volunteers for putting together such an informative event. Also, congrats to Eli Sapir of Apptopia who won TC's Hottest Startup in Boston poll and got to pitch at SESSIONS.

fish vs. bicycle*
While scanning chef Danny Bowien's New York Diet (http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2012/07/danny-bowien-new-york-diet.html), something he said in the midst of describing what he ate—smoked wings, soju (i.e. "braised beef, cut in really beautiful slices and served warm"), and a porterhouse, to list a few—stood out.
"I'm not the manliest-man chef. 90 percent of the staff at Mission are women … and I think that's because when I first went to visit Christina Tosi [Skirt Steakette] at her commissary kitchen, I realized it's mostly girls there, and how they were so efficient and fast! She has the whole thing under lock. I've stolen a lot of ideas from her. After that, I was like, I'm kinda tired of the macho-guy-chef thing. I don't want to play ball tap in the kitchen. I don't want to get hit in the balls every five minutes."
Having read that along with the two items below, you might decide to entertain an amusing, provocative and possibly irritating conversation about "manliness," and, alternatively, "womanliness."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Police have arrested a local woman after responding to a domestic violence call.
Officers were dispatched to a home just off Dixie Highway because of a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, police discovered Elizabeth Aralston, 51, and her husband in their home.
Police said Aralston told officers that she and her husband got into an argument over the TV. During the dispute, Aralston's husband told her that he had been unfaithful and wanted to be with another woman.
Aralston then, according to police, slapped her husband in the face and then he slapped her back. Aralston then went to the kitchen to get a knife and held it up to her husband. He then went and retrieved a gun, but both put away their weapons.
Aralston is facing a 4th degree domestic violence charge as well as 1st degree wanton endangerment.

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) Don't be surprised if the Green Bay Packers do not use their franchise tag to keep a free agent around for at least one more year. Yesterday was the first day that teams could use their tags, and the Packers have five unrestricted free agents – receiver Greg Jennings, running backs Cedric Benson and Ryan Grant, and linebackers Erik Walden and Brad Jones.
There's been at least some speculation about whether the Packers could keep Jennings – but if they use the franchise tag on him, it would cost around 10-million dollars for a one-year deal. And the 29-year-old Jennings has missed some major time with injuries over the past two seasons.
Meanwhile, the Packers also have five restricted free agents, and they have until March 12th to give them tender offers. The Green Bay Press-Gazette figures that center Evan Dietrich-Smith and corner Sam Shields will get second-round tenders, with mandatory one-year offers of just over two-million-dollars each.
If the Packers don't match other teams' offers, and they lose those players, it means they'd get an extra second-round pick for each loss. Other restricted free agents are tight end Tom Crabtree and linebackers Frank Zombo and Robert Francois.

Wasn't it about a year or so ago that the Toronto Maple Leafs came to town, built a nice lead after the first period…only to see the Thrashers steam back to win? In fact, I believe that was the game that I asked if alien beings had abducted the players from the home locker room, took over their bodies and returned to the ice in the second period…because the team that played the last 40 minutes plus overtime was not the same one that played the first twenty.
Well, although the Thrashers did not play as bad this time during the first period….they still went into the locker room trailing 2-0, thanks to a pair of goals by Alexei Ponikarovski.
However, just like last year, they came out in the second and kicked it up a notch in order to net a win. The final score was exactly the same as last years comeback win…4-3…and just like last January, Ilya Kovalchuk scored twice while Rich Peverley chipped in one himself.
Kovy scored first for Atlanta with a bullet from the left point to cut Toronto's lead to 2-1. His second goal of the night gave the Thrashers a 4-2 lead in the third after Chris Thorburn intercepted a wayward Leafs pass in center ice. Kovy took Thorburn's feed into the attacking zone and rocketed the puck past Vesa Toskala from the right circle. They were goals number 29 and 30 for Ilya and his assist on Peverley's power play goal gives him 56 points on the season.
Assuming he plays in the Thrashers 33 remaining games, Kovalchuk on pace for right at 99 or 100 points.
The captain's play caught coach Anderson's attention. "That was the best game I've seen Kovy play in two weeks", Anderson said. "I guess he felt good…he always plays good but that was special".
As for Kovalchuk, he was more than willing to deflect much of the credit to Ondrej Pavelec, who had another fine start…stopping 37 of 40 Maple Leafs shots. "Pavelec made some unbelievable saves and the penalty kill stopped them in the final minute," Kovalchuk said. "It was a team effort. If we work like we did tonight, we're going to win a lot of games".
Also scoring for Atlanta was Evander Kane. His nifty wrap-around job halfway through the second tied the game at two. It was his first goal since New Years night in Buffalo.
Atlanta's penalty kill unit was successful on all five Toronto man advantage opportunities. The Thrashers went 1 for 7 on the power play…however, Kovalchuk's first goal of the night came just three seconds after Ponikarovski has exited the sin-bin after his hooking penalty 40 seconds into the period.
With the win, the Thrashers leapfroged back over Florida into second place in the Southeast…both teams now having played 49 games. They remain tied with Philadelphia…who thumped Columbus 5-3… in the ninth and tenth spots in the Eastern Conference. Both teams have 51 points, though Philly has played one less game, and they trail the eighth place New York Islanders by one single point…New York having played 50 games.
This was a great win by the Thrashers tonight, one that they really…and I mean realllllllly…needed in a bad way.
Viewing Party at TJs
So…whatcha doin' Saturday night? Well, how about joining us at TJ's bar and grill located on Holcomb Bridge Road to watch the Thrashers take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. As they normally do, the Atlanta Thrashers fan Club will be putting on quite the party and Tim, Mark and the entire staff will certainly be providing their normal top-notch service.
Is the opportunity to hang with yours truly and other regular posters around here not enough to persuade you? Well, how about 15% off your food and beverages?
Uh-huh….That's what I thought. See ya'll there.
And Finally…
So…I'm walking out of Philips Arena last night and holding the door for me was James Brown.
No…not that James Brown. He's a self-described "lurker" on this blog and it was very, very nice to make his acquaintance…along with the three lovely ladies he was with.
I guess it's only natural that I would meet someone with the name James Brown on a night like this, because after such a nice win by the Thrashers….
OWWWWwwwwww….I feel good!

good game. I remember all the excitement when the team played their first game against New Jersey and lost. I remember how rockin' the place was for Pasi. I just wish the team's ownership would get creative on how to fill the seats. Like, maybe move the seats to a different arena. Like say the one up I-85. I go up to Alpheretta and see a lot of sub-30 year-olds wearing thrashers jerseys. Maybe demographics is destiny, or maybe they should find a way to get up there.

It was a great game tonight. I did laugh at one point tonight before Kovy's second goal. He was just doing his usual lazy skate in a figure 8. Then i was like watch this guys lazy lazy, now we have the puck, now he skates a little, now he has the puck and skates a lot watch this goal here it comes here it comes…. GOAL!!!! Lol. He is so freakin lazy but whatever. They will pay him that ridiculous amount and he will stay. I did laugh when Natalie asked him about him leading by example and i just laughed. Sure he leads 1/3 of the ice but the other 2/3 he sleeps. I thought he played alright but not great like JA said.
last it was good to run into you bill. Twice. It was a much needed win and i always get excited when we win and people get excited. see you all on thursday.

Yes the TSN announcers also made a BIG point about ENTIRE SECTIONS available for seating and one said, How can this Atlanta team stay here
and simply not draw ? TSN blogs calling for "relocation" like never before… Maybe it is over here ?????
Well if we had a commited OWNER, it would thrive, winning does that.
But with the collection of misfits & liars what else can we expect ?
Good game, but this zach kid is a complete BUST on defense, responsible for goals two & three, go to the game replay and what his LAZY LAZY play behind the net, gets stripped of the puck, one pass and Toronto GOAL. This is now a regular thing with this guy, he gives the other team a goal a game about and several chances, in other highlights, he can be seen wandering or just staning around watching when he should be
confronting their players… I have simple seen all this kid I want too, he STINKS, sure he has some offense, but he had NO defensive skills and has turned into a marshmellow. Trade his to Edmonton or someplace, he is TOAST here.
Otherwise important game to win, and Carolina will be likewise.

Kubina steamrolling Ponikarovski was nice but for me the turning point was Kovy steamrolling an unidentified Leaf (couldn't catch the number). Kovy played like a "max" player last night. Unfortunately the track record shows that while he is capable of those efforts they are few and far between.

Does McConnell get paid extra every time he says "it's the hockey way"? I can't blame anyone for doing this tho. Market, market, market. Especially get those kids while they're young. By the time they have disposable income, southern children will already be hockey fans.
I'm in 305 tomorrow behind the attack once net I think. And I thought 307 was far away. Also, some friends have asked to meet at T-Mac for a beer after the game, so I should be visiting there.
Let's go, Slater!

I was about to send an ambulance to the Stroz house? Thanks God he showed up.

Damn good and entertaining game last night. And since I was there I didn't have to listen to Matt call "Big Bo" (Thanks Hockey Biltong). Because most nights Big Bo needs a the Big Seat. Shame to see to those Leaf fans spend all that money to see their team jump to a two goal lead and fold. Hope they enjoy the aquarium.
Am I'm tired of Canadian fans harping for relocation. Get over it!
HB – MRSDWTOO brought some biltong back from SA, but, the kids ate it all before I had the chance to sample. She was not sure of the laws regarding what she could bring back so only brought one bag. Was in your native land in Novemember and it is truly beautiful, especially Kruger NP, where I did get to dine on Kudu (sp?).
January 20th, 2010
10:33 am
Whoa whoa whoa… hold the phone. The Toronto Sports Network and their esteemed and knowledgeable "bloggers" are calling for a southern market re-location??? I'd have never guessed!
January 20th, 2010
10:34 am
Hey folks, what TSN and the other idiots do not realize is that THEY DON'T OWN THE THRASHERS. You can't relocate something you don't own.
Maybe we should relocate the Toronto Blue Jays to Gwinnett because they only draw about 20-22,000 per game?
Those people all sound like Keith Brooking.

I prefer a headline referring to how we "smoked the buds"! In fact, that's what I used on my short blog entry last night:
WBF – 'twas indeed a pleasure to finally meet you after the game last night. Next time, we'll take it to the "Mac" and have a few brews. But 10-Spot and I needed a break from the late hours "celebrating"; not to mention it's hard to feel THAT excited to beat the lowly Leafs. I hope this was just a case of being a bit road weary and saving their energy for the 2nd two periods. Still a LOT to work on.
I figure they'll be right in the thick of things if they can go 2 – 0 – 1 in the next 3 games. Hell, winning all 3 is possible, but this team just can't seem to put it all together right now. Seems like there is always one period in which they play miserably or one facet of their game that is severely lacking such as the POWER-less PLAY-around with the puck too long.
January 20th, 2010
11:09 am
I don't know, will they give Marty Booker another chance? If you ask me, they didn't throw to him enough and instead forced too many throws to TG and Roddy. But then again, if Harry Douglas is healthy, our offense should be pretty damn tough to stop!
Oh wait a minute, what blog am I on?! Too many blogs, make it stop!
January 20th, 2010
11:09 am
Smoothie-I totally agree, the 3 of us need to hit the Mac next time for some recreational beverages.
One more point on the Canadian media-I really doesn't matter if the house was half empty or totally full last night, the TSN idiots would complain. The Canadian media is the BIGGEST group of whiners I have ever encountered. If you think the Liberals in America have an entitlement mentality, then you need to listen to the Canadian media. The simple-minded hockey fans that adore Don Cherry chime right in.
How Cherry stayed on the air past his first season is a mystery to anyone who has an IQ above Forrest Gump (ID 44).
January 20th, 2010
11:11 am
Rawhide – Yeah dude. Totally.
January 20th, 2010
11:15 am
WBF – I think the only reason Cherry is on TV is because IT IS ABSOLUTELY HYSTERICAL to watch that ruddy-faced drunk ramble on and on and on aimlessly like a senile old war vet in a nursing home mumbling about the good ol' days after the War. Remember, Candadians also love the movie Strange Brew!! That says it all. Oh wait a sec, I LIKE that movie too. Oh well, I'm just a closet hoser eh?
January 20th, 2010
11:24 am
@Hockey Biltong – I'm not from Ohio, but I'm a big AHL fan – didn't the Mohawks play in the 50s or 60s?
January 20th, 2010
11:25 am
Didn't Andy Sutton and Pascal Dupuis play a season together here in ATL? Looks like there was no love lost after that cheap Sutton hit (surprise) on Dupuis last night.
January 20th, 2010
12:01 pm
You can tell Kovy's contract is moving forward now, his play has been much better the past couple weeks. I think they sign him now and it's pretty funny how you can tell the contract per his play, I guess he's an emotional guy and it reflects in his effort, reactions to goals, etc.
I know that's just the Buds (smoke the buds, nice!) but that's the kind of game that can get you on a roll. Hate to say it, but our playoff chances are going to rest on Kari's shoulders, Moose and Opie aren't going to get us there.
January 20th, 2010
12:02 pm
After Kovy's second goal last night, he scribbled his hand across the ice… does that count as a signature?
January 20th, 2010
12:06 pm
Here's the proof.
January 20th, 2010
12:08 pm
Damn Canadian's….haven't they figure it out yet that you need Corporate Sponsorship to keep a team…fans in the seats help but a team cannot survive on that alone….this is why they lost their teams to US cities in the first place. With all those "Big" Corps moving there office to Canada they shouldn't have any problem with that…right? Molson can only sponsor so many teams, then what? MooseDroppings, Inc? FrozenBrains Corp? Clueless in the Tundra, LLC?

Well Rawhide I just had to blog……………yes folks…………….I was the original JB on here a few years back……………….great comeback for the Thrash last night…………….I say we are still in the thick of things with the schedule being a lot kinder from here on out……………….Kovy did look good last night and I hope Kozlov can play better on the power play…………………………..after those two hits he took last night I just don`t know……………………..nice to be back………..I enjoy this blog

Does this mean I need to go back to using 'The Other JB'? I thought you'd passed the torch
(meaning of course I just got lazy and started typing 'JB' instead of 'The Other JB').
January 20th, 2010
12:35 pm
Hope Charlie Daniels is OK. He lost alotta weight so I was surprised to hear he had a stroke.
Bob-nice post, you are right on on all counts.
Smoothie-haven't seen Strange Brew in awhile, but it's a great movie.
Don Cherry reminds me of John Madden. Bobby Orr is to Cherry what Brett Favre is to Madden. Someone needs to tell Cherry that he doesn't need to dress like Liberace.
Masha-Ex went after Kozlov last night, Kubina nailed Ponikorosky. Guess the old buddy network has a time limit.
January 20th, 2010
12:52 pm
GaVaHokie: Wow, I didn't notice that last night, but I think you're on to something!
January 20th, 2010
12:53 pm
Think Don Cherry is entertaing – kinda' like political talk radio in the states. You get ratings by being bombastic and outrageous. How many talk shows, outside of NPR, actually have serious discussions? About Zero.
Now that Smoothie brings it up think I'll go smoke a bud (in a previous life).
January 20th, 2010

No JB…keep it……I`ve got James typed in now……………..that works for me………

MASHAPlayer7 – saw that cheap hit by Sutton. Bet he gets a game suspension at least. It was odd how he laid on him afterwards – I was trying to figure out if he had some remorse but nah…
January 20th, 2010
1:06 pm
Am I the only one that wishes we would claim Petr Sykora and waive Todd White? Any takers? Would that make sense to any one? Or would the cash implications w/#12 contract make it impossible.I would have thought after picking up the Pevs dispenser,DW would jump at that chance or is he gambling that Sykora will get through re-entry and pick himup on the CHEAP!
January 20th, 2010
1:07 pm
thanks. i've gotten used to just the initials. not sure if i could handle going back to typing two extra words every time i wanted to comment! LOL
Just to keep on topic – that was a really entertaining game last night. i was pretty miserable after the 1st, but the last 40 were just awesome. my only complaint is these guys REALLY need to work on their passing!! I saw some BAAAAAAAADD passing near the blue lines…
January 20th, 2010
1:11 pm
LOL at Mooseberg!!!!
What was White's, Kozlov's and Little's numbers at this point last year compared to this year???
I'm not researching it. To much work to do.
Any takers??
January 20th, 2010
1:18 pm
Man, I agree with LAC. I sat there with my son watching Bogosian and wondering "what the hell is he doing?'. He was awful. I don't know what has happened but someone(coach) needs to light a fire under him. happy to win but our PP sucks. Change it up sometime/are they trying to see how many passes they can make before they lose the puck?
January 20th, 2010
1:18 pm
DWTOO – I have an Atl connection for my favourite treat! Only beef though, no wild animals like Ostrich or Kudu or Waterbuck. $20. /lb
MASHA7 – you are correct sir! My old man played on the team then coached in the mid- 60's.I don't know when they started life though. I think they morphed into the Cincinnati Swords … just a guess.
Schroeder- I think Sykora has head injury problems, combined with overall well being.
Look for Edmonton or the likes to be a source of a pickup….
January 20th, 2010
1:20 pm
Sykora cleared waivers… phew!
Just relieved that if we DO claim him on re-entry, it's half price for a guy suffering from concussions.
January 20th, 2010
1:26 pm
I think Sykora can only be claimed on re-entry waivers IF he is assigned to the AHL. But he has a clause in his contract that allows him to go to Europe instead of the AHL. Looks like he's gone until free agency this summer?? Damn.
January 20th, 2010
1:26 pm
Rawhide – Maybe the real Rawhide was abducted by aliens because I know the he would have said he was glad James and JB got a handle on that problem.
January 20th, 2010
1:27 pm
bet they'll try and get him on re-entry. bob mckenzie tweeted at least one team is talking to the wild about trading for him.
January 20th, 2010
1:27 pm
>> Or would the cash implications w/#12 contract make it impossible
I would have to think so. I can't stand the througth of White coming back to the line up either. Slater has earned the right to play through grit and hustle. He always skated hard, just not with the purpose he seems to have right now.
Nice to see kane get back on the tally sheet. The kid may have hit a bit of a mid season wall, but I can't really think of any games when his effort hasn't been there.
What player do you think Kane will resemble in 3 years? Mike Knuble in his prime? A slightly smaller Dustin Penner?

LOL@ $960 bedding from a store with "affordable" in it's description.
Can't link to rules/link broken.
Let me guess -- Canadians need not apply, right?
MCCHATELAINE, I second that comment. Wish there'd be more contests open for Canadians/International readers...
No bedding is actually worth $959.84. Becuase $1000 would be too much and $950 too little. I'm curious as to what it actually costs them to produce this bedding and how high the mark up is. It's kind of insulting that stores think it's ok to charge so much. No thanks.
Jess13, I had the exact same thought. Affordable??? I like good bedding, but geez, at $960, my only hope of owning it is winning this giveaway.
Between the pretentious price and the involvement of Justin Timberlake, I might as well be Canadian. No thank you.
Good to know that the shopping site is "well-curated," though.
I hope the winner sells these over priced bed linens on ebay, then uses the proceeds to buy groceries for a few needy families, because *this* is ridiculous. I somehow manage to have "comfort and personal style for like $900 less but don't feel the least deprived.
curated AND affordable
OMG, I didn't know Trousersnake was a stylish design enthusiast! And you're so right, I *have* had trouble finding sheets for under a grand in the ever-expanding online world. Everything is either in the $2000 range, or just not well-curated enough.
*whips laptop across room and through plate-glass window*
You guys crack me up.
Obviously value is subjective.
I would be happy to win! I am currently trying to find bedding for my guest room. I could decorate around any of their bedding. thanks a lot!!!
the pricing is obscene. i guess there are people in this world who will actually pay this much? i wondered to myself how do they sleep at night? but i guess the answer is clear: atop very expensive linens.
Could you update the Official Rules, 'cause it's goig to a 404 page? Thank You.
i agree, I wish there were more contests for International readers
The prices of their giveaway don't add up the same-even if you go with the non-member price(and who'd do that?) and the largest size, it's less than $800. For linen sheets, $90 for a flat or fitted queen is about standard. I've been looking at linen sheet sets, the 17 year old ones I have are getting a bit threadbare and I know I'll want to replace them. I paid about $200 for a set on sale back then that also had cases. So all the comments about this being ridiculous-check out what they are actually selling them for and what the sheets go for elsewhere. And their cotton sheets are pretty normally priced too-$40 for a flat queen sheet. I just can't understand complaining about something nice you are getting a chance to win! Maybe you wouldn't buy the whole set duvet, sheets & shams-I know I won't-but given the chance to win it? I'd LOVE to!
yes, please give this to me, it's absolutely beautiful. but it's not affordable, and to say it was "curated," well, has that word jumped the shark yet?
my mattress cost half of the cost of this sheet set. it would be funny to win.
How come the giveaways never work anymore? I always get a 404 page or a comments page without any info on the giveaway. The giveaway post shows up in my feed reader, but the entry form is below the fold. =(
I can't believe that this is actually the real price. well, good luck to everyone!
Linen is SO nice, I hope I win. The price is ridiculous, isn't it? Everyone write to your senators/etc, urging the legalization of HEMP. Because Hemp cloth is LIKE linen- and hemp is super eco, time to let the USA grow and benefit from it. Then perhaps ALL of us can have "linen" sheets and at 1/3 the price of these!!!
Please enter me to win this!
I love this set! Pick me!
I love this!
I'm in!!
The price seems ridiculous!
I bought a set for 259 USD from Moods:

rdesktop is an open source client that speaks the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). This allows Unix-based users to login to Windows Terminal Servers. More information is available at the following URL.
Remote exploitation of a BSS overflow vulnerability in rdesktop, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user.
The vulnerability exists within the code responsible for reading in an RDP redirect request. This request is used to redirect an RDP connection from one server to another. When parsing the redirect request, the rdesktop client reads several 32-bit integers from the request packet. These integers are then used to control the number of bytes read into statically allocated buffers. This results in several buffers located in the BSS section being overflowed, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged in user. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must persuade a targeted user to connect to a malicious RDP server.
iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in rdesktop version 1.5.0. Previous versions may also be affected.
iDefense is currently unaware of any effective workaround for this issue.
The rdesktop maintainer has addressed this vulnerability with CVS revision 1.102 of rdp.c. For more information, visit the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2008-1802 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

In the Oct. 19 issue of Hometown News, in the article titled "Investigation continues on costs, benefits of health clinic," information about a health clinic contract was incorrectly stated.
CareHere, a company that works with organizations to start and maintain health clinics for employees, had a three-year contract with Port St. Lucie in 2007 and chose not to renew the contract.
CareHere currently has a three-year contract with St. Lucie County.
Wayne Teegardin, employee relations and safety manager for St. Lucie County, said the county is quite pleased with the services by CareHere and that the contract will be honored for the commitment period and a renewal is likely.
Hometown News regrets the error and any confusion it may have caused.

text: Little known fact: you own a G35 coupe. Are we going to be seeing you drift your Infiniti any time soon? You know, I had considered hooking up my car and trying my luck with drifting but it's unlikely that I'll actually end up doing it. I'm involved with so many projects I wouldn't even know when to start! If you ever do, holla! Our edit team of three would gladly help. If you could pick any car to build, what would it be? If I were to build my own drift car, I'd definitely go with the G35 coupe. It's a rear-wheel-drive car that already packs a punch! We'd have to pump up the horsepower but I'd probably keep the stock Brembos. Suspension is a must and I'd throw on a tight-ass exhaust. As all exhausts should be. Now that the season is over, so is the need for politics. Let's get down and dirty. In your opinion, who's the best drifter? All season, I made it a point not to pick favorites. Now that the season is over, I still wouldn't know who I'd pick. Based on stats alone, I'm torn between Chris Forsberg, who won the 2009 season, and Ryan Tuerck, who took Second. Who should pack up their bald-ass tires and go home? There are no drivers who stand out as being particularly bad, so again, I can't pick a worst one. When it comes down to it, I'm usually a fan of the underdog. I came to learn with this sport, like many others, every now and again the underdog can surprise us. Like Round 6 in Sonoma, CA, when Stephan Verdier took First on the podium for his very first time. He was so excited and I was very happy for him! So Stephan Verdier's your pick for worst drifter. I'll make sure to let him know that. [laughter] Kidding. For a Frenchie, he's cool. Who would win the ESL award? So delicately put! You know, there were a few times that I could've used a translator when interviewing some of the Japanese drivers, so I'd say that it wouldn't hurt for them to learn some English. On the reverse, it would be good for me to be fluent in Japanese, as well. Hai! If you had to place a bet on the 2010 season, who would you put your money on? Ryan Tuerck, because I just love those baby blues! Little known fact: You swing both ways, which is totally 'Rawr!'. As someone who can appreciate the female form, who has the hottest umbrella girls. Oh damn, that's a tough one! It would be a tie between Falken and Hankook. They are all very attractive, sweet girls. For a Ménage-à-twizzle between an import model and drifter sandwich, who would the buns be? In this line of work, I certainly get my share of eye candy. I can name a few hotties . . . but for now, my lips are sealed! Boo! Between a chick's boobs and a dude's-how do I say-'package', in which application does size matter most? Well, you know what they say, 'It's not the size that counts. It's how you work with what you have.' I couldn't agree more. I think that proportion is important, so that's what I look for more than size. So two inches is cool if the dude's a hobbit? [laughs] If it looks right! I shudder at the mental image. Decent sex once a week or an amazing romp once a year? Give me an amazing romp! Even if it's once a year, I'll be much happier than an abundance of boring sex. To be honest, if sex were boring, it's unlikely I'd be doing it all the time. I much prefer quality over quantity. Motorboating: for or against? [laughs] Hmmm . . . motorboating is a no. I think I'd be extremely turned off if someone put their face in my breast and did that! I can just imagine how a girl would feel if I 'motorboated' her. However, I do enjoy boobs. I hope I answered that question in the right context! 'I do enjoy boobs'? You did. Perfectly. Other than the last series of questions, your WTF moment of the year? My life is one giant WTF moment!

(WMC-TV) - The last moments of a suspected animal hoarder, who was shot and killed by Memphis police, are being released to the public for the first time.
Memphis police was investigating an animal cruelty case at Donald Moore's home on Cameron Ridge Trail in Cordova on January 11. Investigators say he had at least 28 pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hens, a rooster, raccoons, and opossums.
When the TACT unit showed up to serve a search warrant, Moore was shot and killed by police. He also happened to be on the phone with 911.
Dispatch: "911, you need police, fire, or ambulance?"
Moore: "I got somebody shooting in my home. I need somebody out here right now."
Moore: "And you better hurry because somebody's going to get hurt."
In the background on the call recording, a TACT officer can be heard saying Don's name.
Dispatch: "Who is that you're arguing with?"
Officer in the background: "Memphis Police Department."
Moore said they had no reason to be there.
Officer in the background: "We have a search warrant."
Moore: "Yeah, you have that search warrant. Don't been s---. Get outta here."
An officer in the background can be heard yelling at Moore, "Hands. Don. Hands. Hands! Hands!"
That is the extent of the tape provided to Action News 5.
In January, MPD Director Toney Armstrong said the shooting was justified. But the Moore family's attorney says the tape raises more questions than answers.
"If it turns out that this gentleman maybe had mental health issues or other things like that, he was never really given a fair chance," said attorney Howard Manis.
Manis says Moore's family may file a lawsuit, but he is still investigating the case.
MPD released the audio but did not reply to Action News 5's request for comment.
The officer involved was removed from duty with pay, which is standard procedure.

Artist BioINXS (pronounced "in excess", in-ex-ESS) were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales.[1][2] They began playing covers in Western Australian pubs and clubs occasionally mixed with some of their own original music. Mainstays were main composer Andrew Farriss on keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on guitar, Kirk Pengilly on guitar and saxophone, Garry Gary Beers on bass, and main lyricist Michael Hutchence on vocals[3] For 20 years, INXS were fronted by Hutchence, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band.[1][3] Initially known for their new wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style,[1] including funk and dance elements.481bf5f9-2e7c-4c44-b08a-05b32bc7c00d

Today, the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer declared a "huge win" in response to the news that Mitt Romney's openly gay foreign policy spokesperson Richard Grenell had resigned. According to Fischer, Grenell's resignation is evidence that Romney is catering to social conservatives, expressing great confidence that Romney "is not going to make this mistake again. There is no way in the world that Mitt Romney is going to put a homosexual activist in any position of importance in his campaign." Watch it:
Fischer had led the charge against Grenell's appointment, attacking him for being a "homosexual activist" whose behavior is "offensive to God." (HT: RightWingWatch.)
