After 14 years, the "Preview Kid" on OS X's Preview icon is no more
Earlier this week we covered many of the new icons users can look forward to in OS X Yosemite. As opposed to iOS 7, the iconography in Yosemite is rather impressive. Instead of blindly adhering to a flat design aesthetic, OS X Yosemite's icons appear a bit more nuanced and elegant, seemingly an indication that a lot more thought (and time, most likely) went into the design process.
While design changes to the Finder and Trashcan icons are the most noticeable, you may have missed the significance of Apple's brand new Preview icon. By itself, it's not too shabby, what with a scenic photo nestled beneath a loupe.
But the redesign of the Preview icon also spells the end for what some are calling the Preview Kid.
For approximately 14 years, the Preview icon in OS X looked like this - an adorable little kid having a grand old time by the water.
OS X Snow Leopard? He's there. OS X Jaguar? He's there. Yep, this kid is as old as OS X itself, even gracing the original Dock that was introduced in OS X 10.0.
After 14 years, there's no question that he's had an incredible run, but with college probably looming next year, it'd be pretty darn selfish of us to expect him to hang around the Dock forever.
So, Preview Kid, wherever you are, a hearty bon voyage! is in order. We can only hope that your time in OS X was as meaningful and memorable to you as it was to all of us.

Hill, Carl Fredrik (1849-1911) - Afton by RasMarley on Flickr.
Carl Fredrik Hill was a Swedish painter. Born the son of a mathematics professor, Hill grew up in the narrowness of the university town of Lund in southern Sweden and had to strike out his career as a landscape painter against his father's will.
I recently came across this Kopparberg advert while flicking channels.
I absolutely love the advert soundtrack and the nonconformist message instantly struck a chord. Music like this gives untold inspiration for shooting dark/ twisted content.

Dr. Fox effect
|This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (September 2013)
The Dr. Fox effect is a correlation observed between teacher expressiveness, content coverage, student evaluation and student achievement.[1]
In the 1970 experiment, two equivalent groups of students, including psychiatrists and psychologists,[2] were given lectures varying in content coverage. After the lecture, the students were asked to evaluate the teacher on effectiveness. A test was also taken to measure the student achievement. It was observed that student achievement was higher for higher content-coverage. However, students were observed to rate high content-coverage lectures as better than low-coverage lectures only when both lectures exhibited low expressiveness. When both lectures were highly expressive, no correlation was observed. This lack of correspondence between content-coverage and ratings under conditions of high expressiveness is known as the Dr. Fox Effect.[3]
In a critique of student evaluations of teaching, professor of law Deborah Merritt summarized the Dr. Fox Effect as it was observed in the first experiments, in which an actor gave a lecture to a group of ten under the guise of "Dr. Myron L. Fox": "The experimenters created a meaningless lecture on 'Mathematical Game Theory as Applied to Physician Education,' and coached the actor to deliver it 'with an excessive use of double talk, neologisms, non sequiturs, and contradictory statements.' At the same time, the researchers encouraged the actor to adopt a lively demeanor, convey warmth toward his audience, and intersperse his nonsensical comments with humor. ... The actor fooled not just one, but three separate audiences of professional and graduate students. Despite the emptiness of his lecture, fifty-five psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, graduate students, and other professionals produced evaluations of Dr. Fox that were overwhelmingly positive. ... The disturbing feature of the Dr. Fox study, as the experimenters noted, is that Fox's nonverbal behaviors so completely masked a meaningless, jargon-filled, and confused presentation."[4]
Further research[edit]
Further studies have only confirmed the initial study's conclusion. A 1980 study found that prestige of research could even be increased by confounding writing style, with research competency being positively correlated to reading difficulty.[5]

Test Driving Database Indexes
Myron Marston:
Database indexes are conceptually very simple, but in practice, I've found that it's hard to predict when they'll get used and what indexes a given table needs. On a project at work I came up with the idea to test-drive my database indexes, just like I test-drive the rest of my code. I'd like to share the approach I came up with.
A very interesting idea at least for MySQL users.

Uniform Recruiting Frequently Asked Questions
This page is broken down into the following sections:
|How do I find information about registering and applying?
The recruitment page of the OPP website at www.opp.ca (find out more) provides the required application documents and instructions to follow when applying for the position of OPP Constable.
It is important that you use the application to sell yourself and provide important information to Uniform Recruitment for your application to be properly assessed. Make sure that you include information such as skills and experiences that are relevant to the position of Police Constable. These skills and experiences could include but are not limited to such things as other languages spoken, volunteer experience, experiences in the field of policing (i.e. auxiliary policing, student placements at detachments, etc…) as well as leadership opportunities and examples of commitment to continuous learning.
|What happens when I apply for an OPP Constable Position?
Once the application is successful to proceed to the interview stage, candidates will be personally contacted to confirm an interview date. The most competitive candidates will advance from the interview to the background investigation portion of the process and will also be required to undergo a psychological test and medical examination. A Final Review Board will examine each candidate that has successfully completed each stage and will determine if the candidate will advance to the eligibility pool. The most competitive candidates in this eligibility pool will be considered for offers of employment. The process is based on achievements and those candidates who have obtained the most achievements are generally the most successful.
|Can I apply if any of my C.O.R. components have expired?
In order to apply, you must have a valid C.O.R. If any of the components have expired, it is your responsibility to ensure they are updated accordingly. If you need to re-qualify in one or more of the components, you will need to contact Applicant Testing Services (ATS) or call 1-800-429-7728.
I have applied to another police agency. Will this hurt my chances with the OPP?
|We understand that you may have applied to different services and no, this will not hurt your chances with the OPP. However, should you get hired by another police service, please notify our office ASAP in writing so that we can close your file.
2. Certificate of Results Testing
|How do I find information about registering and applying?
The recruitment page of the OPP website at www.opp.ca describes the steps to obtain your Certificate of Results (C.O.R.) and the OPP Application Process.
|What is a Certificate of Results (C.O.R.)?
The C.O.R. is a certificate that a candidate receives upon successful completion of several tests and is a requirement in order to apply to the OPP. There are several sample test questions on the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (find out more).
|How can I obtain the Certificate of Results (C.O.R.)?
Candidates wishing to obtain their C.O.R. will be referred to Applicant Testing Services (ATS).
|What are the minimum vision and hearing requirements for the C.O.R.?
The minimum standards can be located on the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services website (Find out more) under the Constable Selection System.
|How can I practice the PREP test?
|Most community colleges offering the Law and Security Administration/ Police Foundations Program will have staff that are trained to administer the PREP. For a fee, they will take you through the test and offer advice on how to improve.
|How can I find out more about the PATI and/or the other tests required to obtain a C.O.R.?
You can go to the Constable Selection System hyperlink on The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (Find out more). They will have information and a pre-test guide that can be used to assist you with the testing components.
|Can I apply to the OPP if any of my tests have expired on C.O.R.?
|It is the responsibility of each candidate to ensure their C.O.R. remains valid at all times in the application process. If any component expires, it is the candidates' responsibility to re-qualify and ensure their C.O.R. is valid. Applicants will only be interviewed if their C.O.R. is valid.
|What type of interview does the OPP conduct?
The OPP conducts a Local Focus Interview. During this interview, candidates will be asked questions in order to assess their achievements, credentials and motivation for the position of OPP Constable. This is a critical step in the recruitment process and candidates need to present themselves at their very best. You will be provided with a list of required documents to bring with you to the interview. The recruiter understands the importance of this step and will encourage you to relax so that you do not experience undue stress. The most competitive candidates at the interview stage will advance to the next phase, the background investigation stage.
|Does this interview have any effect on my applications to other services?
The OPP interview has no effect on the hiring processes of other police services. The OPP does not conduct an Essential Competency Interview (ECI), so there is no waiting period for other applications that a candidate may have with other police services. The only waiting period that applies when a candidate is unsuccessful at the OPP interview is the one year wait before being eligible to re-apply to the OPP.
|I was unsuccessful at the ECI with another service. Can I still apply to the OPP?
If a candidate has not been successful at the ECI with another police service, they are not required to wait 3 months before applying to the OPP.
|Can I call OPP Recruitment about my interview results?
Due to the high volume of applicants, each applicant will receive correspondence advising them of the results of their interview regardless of whether the results are positive or negative.
|What happens if I am not successful at the OPP interview?
Candidates who are not successful at the interview should reflect upon their level of competitiveness through a self-assessment (see Self-Assessment Questionnaire (P.D.F. format)). Everyone has strengths and weaknesses and each candidate should take the steps to improve where they feel they are not competitive. Candidates in this position are eligible to re-apply to the OPP in one year, but should only do so when they feel that they are at their competitive best.
|How often does the OPP hire?
We are hiring continuously. The OPP hires to fill three recruit classes each year - January, April, and September.
|How long does it take to go through the entire process?
Once a candidate obtains the C.O.R., the application/hiring process can take approximately from 6 - 8 months. Candidates are assessed individually and on their own merit.
|Can I obtain feedback if I am unsuccessful at any stage of the recruitment process?
Due to the large number of applications that the OPP receives we are unable to provide feedback on your application. Regrettably, we can not respond to phone messages, e-mails or letters requesting feedback."
4. Basic Conditions of Employment
|What are the basic conditions of appointment?
|What happens if I do not have a grade 12 Diploma?
Candidates who have not received their grade 12 Diploma must obtain a General Education Diploma (GED) prior to applying. This can be obtained through a local Board of Education or Adult Learning Center. Candidates who do not have a grade 12 diploma, but have completed a college diploma program or a university degree program will be considered as having a grade 12 diploma. Candidates who have been educated outside of Canada and require an equivalency document should refer to the International Credential Assessment Service of Canada. I.C.A.S. may also be contacted toll-free at 1-800-321-6021.
|I am not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. May I still apply?
No. Under the provision of the Police Services Act, you must be either a citizen of Canada or a permanent resident.
|What are the minimum vision and hearing requirements for becoming a Constable?
The minimum standards can be located in the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services Self-Assessment - Medical Requirements for Candidates document.
|How long do I need to wait to apply after having laser eye surgery?
Candidates will need to have their eye care professional provide the results from two post surgery eye examinations. These examinations must be at least 21 days apart.
|Am I eligible to apply if I am colour blind?
All candidates must be able to pass the Farnsworth D-15 eye test for colour vision. There are varying degrees of colour blindness so you need to check with your eye doctor if this is a concern (Find out more)
|Am I eligible to apply if I have a medical condition or disability?
The candidate is eligible to apply if they successfully complete the C.O.R. testing and meet the minimum requirements. A doctor will address any medical issues or concerns. The doctor will determine if the condition/concern impacts on the candidate's ability to perform the essential duties of a Constable. (Find out more)
|With so many First Aid and CPR course out there, which one should I take?
|Applicants must be certified in Standard First Aid and CPR Level 'C'. For Level 'C', annual renewal is required. This is equivalent to St. John's Ambulance, Heart and Stroke Foundation or Canadian Red Cross 'Basic Rescuer' (one and two-rescuers CPR for adults, child and infant). *Note: C.P.R. is only valid for one year from date of issue (per OPP standards).
|Where will I be posted?
One of the conditions of employment with the OPP is the willingness to serve anywhere in Ontario. Candidates are given an opportunity at the interview and again at the background investigation stage to provide three preferred postings. These postings will be taken into consideration at the time an offer of employment is made. Both the needs of the organization and the needs of the candidate are considered when posting a recruit class.
|What is a 'duration posting'?
Some OPP detachments are identified as duration postings and require the assigned officers to complete a fixed amount of service before being eligible for transfer to another detachment if the officer chooses to do so. The duration detachments are listed on the recruitment page at www.opp.ca (Find out more: Salary and Benefits, Career Descisions:Uniform Postings).
|Are all recruits posted to a 'duration posting' upon being hired?
You will be provided an opportunity to list detachments that you would prefer to be posted to. Using your preferences and determining the needs of the organization, you will be matched as best as possible with your preferred postings. It is not always possible to provide a match as there are a number of variables involved with vacancies but every effort is used to meet the needs of the applicants with the needs of the organization.
|Do the OPP purchase the home that I purchased before I was hired?
The OPP is not responsible for the residence that was purchased prior to joining the OPP. Once you are hired and are transferred from your posted detachment, the OPP has a relocation plan that gives you the option of either selling your home yourself or going through an established plan to have the government purchase your home. This is only for homes you purchased after you have been hired and does not apply to homes you owned before becoming an OPP officer.
|What is involved in new recruit training?
There is a total of 18 weeks of training for all recruits. There is one week of orientation at the Provincial Police Academy in Orillia, followed by 12 weeks of Basic Constable Training at the Ontario Police College. The recruits return to the Academy in Orillia to complete 5 more weeks of post recruit training. Upon successful completion of the training, the recruit then attends their assigned detachment to work with a coach officer. The training is challenging on both the academic and physical levels and recruits are expected to excel in both areas.
|Do I get paid when I am in training?
All recruits are full time employees and will receive salary and benefits while in training. The Probationary Constable Starting Salary is indicated on our website (Find out more)
|What is the cost to attend OPC?
Recruits are expected to pay $11,065 for their training at Ontario Police College. New recruits who are posted to a detachment that is identified as a duration location will receive a one-time payment of $2000.00 (to offset travel expense). Information regarding additional duration incentive payments for recruits who accept duration postings can be found on our website (Find out more).
|What happens after training?

7. Experienced Officer Program
|What is the Experienced Office Program?
|Officers currently serving or having served within the past two years with other police agencies are eligible to submit their applications to OPP Career Development Bureau along with a copy of their police training and personnel file documentation (e.g. OPC accreditation). In addition to meeting the criteria essential to the position of Provincial Constable, offers of employment will be made with the understanding that candidates will be posted to specific locations throughout the province according to organizational requirements. Benefits for the candidates under the Experienced Officers Program include:
|I am a police officer working in another country. Can I apply for the OPP through the Experienced Officer Program?
No. Officers applying who are employed in law enforcement outside of Canada are not eligible for this program. However, if you had been a serving officer, within the past two years, and received your OPC accreditation, you would be eligible to apply under this program.
|I am a police officer working in another Province. Am I eligible to apply? What would I need in order to apply?
Yes, you may apply under this program provided you are currently serving or have served within the past two years with another police agency. Depending upon your accreditation from your force/province, your training and accreditation may be reviewed to ensure it meets the standards required under the provisions of the Police Services Act. This may be done on a case by case basis. You will be required to submit your accreditation from your formal training facility as well as performance evaluations and all other required documents with your application.
|Are Military Police Officers eligible for this program?
Due to the required accreditation/training under the provisions of the Police Services Act, members of the Military Police are not eligible under the Experiences Officer Program and would have to submit their application through the regular Recruit process and obtain a C.O.R.. (find out more)
|Is my current pension transferable to the OPP?
For up-to-date information on whether your pension is transferable, please contact the Ontario Pension Board at 1-800-668-6203 or www.opb.on.ca
|Why work for the OPP?
|Additional Points to Consider
You should not apply until you are ready. Submit your application ONLY when you feel you are at your competitive best.
The OPP serves the entire province. We will be pleased to discuss where you prefer to be posted. However, you may be placed anywhere at any time in your career as required by the OPP. Submit your application ONLY AFTER having given careful and positive consideration to placement possibilities.
Although the OPP solicits applicants with multiple language abilities including official languages, pre-applicant upgrading or training will be necessary for those not fully fluent in oral and written English language skills.

Chessmaster: The Art of Learning - NDS - Review
Chessmaster: The Art of Learning is not your average Nintendo DS game. It's not some newfangled idea, nor is it geared at training your brain. But it does serve two purposes. First, the game is an effective learning tool for those who aren't good at chess (I should know, I suck at it). Second, it contains six mini-games that aren't just addictive – they actually improve your ability to play the game.
If this sounds like fun to you – and it likely does since you bothered to click on a review link for a chess game – The Art of Learning is the best way to learn how to play chess on your own. It also happens to be the best way to play the game without using real chess pieces.
Teach Me With Your Best Shot
I hate tutorials. I despise them so much that I would happily direct a public service announcement urging game developers across the world to never use them, especially in action/adventures where the only thing they have to tell us is that the X button on the PS2 controller is used to jump.
Having such disdain for the way developers teach us to play their products, I wasn't 100% sold on Chessmaster's concept. I was curious but fearful – what if it tells me the obvious? What if it announces that the little plastic doohickey I'm holding is called a stylus? How many windows would I break in this revelation!?!?
Thank goodness that at least one person on the Chessmaster development team knew that we knew what a stylus is used for. The game skips past the usual crap and dives straight into the rules of chess. Starting at the most basic level (the pieces, their movements, and so on) and later moving into more advanced territory (how to fork an opponent, etc.), Chessmaster clearly and carefully explains how to play the game.
Should you accidentally exit the tutorial prematurely, it's very easy to get back to where you left off. Tap any of the categories – Intro, Chessboard, Pieces, Playing Chess/Basic Rules, and Advanced Tactics – and hit the right arrow icon to click through any of the steps you've already covered. Click the left arrow icon to revisit old steps.
Of course, words are meaningless without a graphical representation of what's going on. That's the whole point of buying a chess video game, right? Chessmaster's visuals are some of the most basic you'll see on the DS. But for this kind of a game, they work beautifully. Each piece is clearly defined, eliminating any chance for confusion. Better still, the board is enhanced with highlights that show every possible area your piece could move. Tap a piece to activate this feature, and click on one of the highlighted squares to move to that spot. Two small icons appear to confirm or deny the move – tap the checkmark to proceed or the X to cancel.
Mini Chess
Once you've grasped the basics, don't merely play the game to refine your skills. Enhance your abilities and have fun at the same time via Chessmaster's mini-game collection. These aren't the usual tap-until-you're-brain-dead garbage that most developers call mini-games. They're relevant stages that challenge you to overcome several difficult situations. With each mini-game achievement, players will have an easier time visualizing their moves in actual chess.
Fork My Fruit, the first mini-game, has the most ridiculous name I've ever heard (well, the most ridiculous since they added the "Lara Croft" prefix to Tomb Raider – that was just plain silly). But the game itself is really clever. Using any of the given pieces – king, queen, rook, etc. – you have to fork (attack) two fruit at the same time. The game explains and visualizes this task much more effectively than a review could, but the general idea is to eliminate the fruit from the board. It's a somewhat familiar puzzle concept that's made unique by using the rules of chess.
Another mini-game, Masterpiece, is a challenge to paint a picture (fill in the blanks) by making as few moves as possible. Breaking the Lines, the third mini-game, is a battle against the pawns. Knights are your only weapon, and you must use them to capture every pawn on the screen. Capturing other pieces will help you stay alive but it won't help you finish the stage. In Chain Reaction, however, you don't battle anyone. Your goal is to link three or more pieces by placing them within each other's attack range.
Want to know how good you are with a pawn? Test yourself with Pawn Charge, a game where the only goal is to reach the eighth rank without being captured. Minefield Chess, on the other hand, will test your patience by forcing players to move around and destroy an enemy you can't see.
If the abovementioned terminology has left you clueless, play through the tutorial. It will answer all of your questions.
Josh Waitzkin is really excited to be your teacher. Really!
A Moment of Mockery
In Chessmaster, the bottom screen is all game. The left part of the top screen is all text (during the tutorial). The right side of the top screen, however, makes a mockery out of video game presentations. There aren't any voice-overs but the game still shows Josh Waitzkin (who is supposedly famous to those who follow pro chess, and a nobody to the rest of us) moving his lips, minus several frames of animation. He likes to gesture and scratch his head a lot, but it's the same scratch and gesture animations every single time.
Review Scoring Details for Chessmaster: The Art of Learning
Gameplay: 8.0
It's almost funny to give a chess game a high score when the majority of its content is pre-made. But unlike the physical game of chess, and unlike the online freebies you can play against strangers, Chessmaster comes with a stellar tutorial and six great mini-games.
The chessboard looks great and all, but I gotta give the presentation a "0" out of 10. It's so bad, even Bubsy 3D is laughing.
Sound: 4.0
Ouch, my ears! My ears! Make this repetitive nonsense stop!
Difficulty: Easy/Hard
Easy to learn – impossible to master?
Concept: 8
A clear and concise learning tool for one of the world's greatest board games. The mini-game challenges are also quite clever.
Multiplayer: 7.5
Single-card play is available and perfect for airports and other locales where you want to kill time but don't have the space for a physical chess board.
Overall: 7.8
The presentation sucks, but games are ultimately about something more than that. They're about the entertainment value, and if you're a fan of chess or don't yet know how to play, Chessmaster is great game to have on your DS.

My wife's 2nd Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey birthday present arrived today. You might have seen the one of a kind, hand made TARDIS necklace that her parents got her. I decided to run with the theme and sought out to find her a TARDIS purse.
After days of searching it turns out that's not really a thing that exists. I mean there are a ton of TARDIS themed bags and purses on Etsy, but 98% lack… quality? Ok, most of them just seemed really crappy. There is one VERY nice TARDIS bag on Etsy, but being TARDIS-shaped, I don't think it really works as a practical every day purse. It was also a bit out of my price range. There's another that's extremely well made, but a bit too large (being designed for laptops) and the creator is on vacation for the next month which dashes my hopes of commissioning a smaller one.
Googling and googling and googling some more I eventually found an image that just so happened to have been posted by my friend Wil of a TARDIS bag he had seen at a convention. I googled and regoogled until I tracked down the owner/creator, Stephanie, and contacted her about commissioning one for my wife. She said she was inundated with requests after Wil's posting, but would make an exception for me (SQUEEE). We went back and forth a bit with the design and incorporated some of my ideas for revisions.
It arrived today and I was absolutely floored by the quality. The pictures really don't do it justice. It certainly deserves a, "Hello, Sexy." My wife absolutely adores it. She was genuinely surprised and shocked at how freaking amazing this thing is.
I have to point out that Stephanie was a JOY to work with. She said she didn't have plans to mass produce them or even take a large number of orders, but I encouraged her to at least make one at a time and put it up on Etsy. She said she might auction them for MS related charities or research. I will keep you posted if she is able to make them available.
Allons-y, Geronimo and check the front pocket of the TARDIS. I think there's some gum in there.

If you love golf, you don't normally need a good reason to play.
Just in case you did however, the 15th Annual Charlie Satterwhite Memorial Golf Shamble provided one on Saturday.
Almost as if on cue, the sun came out just before noon on Saturday at Fairway Golf Course in Wheatley.
Owen County High School does not have a rowing team. It's too bad because they could have practiced last week on the baseball and softball fields.
Neither the baseball team or the softball team saw much action last week. The baseball team played one game while the softball team was not in action once.
The Rebels took on Scott County March 31 and were shut out, 10-0.

Sorry, my bad, but I still maintain that the Argent Crusade has more than just paladins and priests in it (I'm sure I saw darion fighting a tauren shaman at some point). To actually answer your question, warriors, hunters, and rogues do not have any sort of neutral faction HOWEVER some races (like night elves and tauren) seem to choose hunters over warriors in their armies, and alliance rogues do have a specific faction (SI:7). I cant say the same about horde rogues, then again I mostly play alliance.

From Star Trek — The Motion Picture:
Doctor McCoy: Spock, you haven't changed a bit. You're just as warm and sociable as ever.
Spock: Nor have you, Doctor, as your continued predilection for irrelevancy demonstrates.
Spock is a Vulcan. He gets away with living by "reason and logic with no interference from emotion," but that's because his extraterrestrial humanoid species gave "massive assistance to a devastated post–World War III Earth, enabling the planet to eliminate poverty, disease, and suffering within a single century."
Lawyers, unless you can save planet Earth like the Vulcans did, don't be so cocksure about the upside of being a 24/7, devoid-of-emotion, professional a-hole….

Location and physiography
The study area encompasses the Guadalupe Mountains of southeastern New Mexico and western Texas (Fig. 1), a region of sharp limestone ridges and steep-walled escarpments. The Guadalupe Mountains are a wedge-shaped block bounded on the west by a fault-line escarpment and on the east by an exhumed-reef escarpment and the Gypsum Plain (Figs. 2, 3). The area is bounded by the McKittrick Hill anticline on the northeast, Guadalupe Peak on the southwest, the Capitan reef escarpment on the southeast, and the Dark Canyon drainage on the northwest. The highest elevation in the area is Guadalupe Peak at 2,667 m; the lowest point is Wind (Hicks) Cave at 1,115 m. The area forms a narrow band 6.4-9.6 km wide and 80 km long through Eddy County, New Mexico, and Culberson County, Texas.
The region is dominated by thick limestone reef deposits and surrounding related rock within which extensive caves have developed. Cave locations are within Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks, and on lands controlled by Lincoln National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management. The highest cave, Cottonwood, is at an altitude of 2,074 m, and the lowest known cave passage, the Lake of the Clouds, Carlsbad Cavern, is at 1,007 m.
Two notable drainage systems exist in the area: a northeast-southwest drainage system which includes North and South McKittrick Canyons, Cottonwood Canyon, Dark Canyon, West Slaughter Canyon, North and South Rattlesnake Canyons, and Walnut Canyon; and a northwest-southeast drainage system which includes Big Canyon, Black Canyon, Gunsight Canyon, Double Canyon, Lechuguilla Canyon, and Slaughter Canyon (Fig. 5). The drainage systems have downcut the Guadalupe Mountains into a series of northeast- and northwest-trending ridges.
The climate in the Guadalupe Mountains is semiarid and continental, with characteristically mild winters and warm summers. The average winter temperature is 7°C and the average summer temperature is 27°C. Precipitation aver ages 35.6 cm annually, with 80% of the rainfall occurring in the May through October period (Houghton, 1967). Vegetation includes cactus, succulents, and desert shrubs in the lower Guadalupe Mountains, with transitional to montane coniferous forest on the upper Guadalupe ridges.
Past climate in the Guadalupe Mountains was more moist and cool than it is today. During much of the Pleistocene, coniferous forests reached to lower elevations and animal life included bear, American lion and cheetah, ground sloth, shrew, tapir, bison, bighorn sheep, camel, and llama (Harris, 1985).

Beth Russell's needlepoint adaptation measures 15
x 48" (38 x 122cm). It makes a superb cover for a piano stool,
window seat, headboard, foot stool or carpet runner. There is sufficient
canvas around the design to allow the stitching of a border, which
can be ordered separately.
The design, doubled and mirror-imaged, is now available
as a one piece rug.
Again there is sufficient space around the printed canvas to stitch
a 3" (7.5cm) border.
This is not printed on the canvas, but may be purchased as a separate
needlepoint kit consisting of coloured charts and wools.
Beth has recently designed a cushion to partner this

Looking forward to DDs?
You know what? :dunno: it's 7:00 p.m. and already I'm looking forward to tomorrow's DD. Weird.
Here's the scoop. Today, an UD, I was not hungry. I had all my 1900 calories planned out, but not hungry. What is my body telling me?
I ate two meals, but I stressed out all day about what to eat and whether to eat and when to eat. Maybe I drank too much coffee or too much water and the hunger just didn't get a chance to click in.
Psychologically, it could be because after weeks of no rotations and UUADs, I finally had an awesome DD yesterday, felt great and saw the scale whoosh downward this morning. In the back of my wee mind I think I don't want to see the inevitable bounce back up tomorrow morning.
I'm not going to let myself worry too much about it. After all the over the top days these last 3 + weeks, I refuse to believe that one or a few low cal UDs will do harm in the long run.
Guess I just needed to get it off my chest. And, I wonder if anyone else looks forward to DDs because they are less stressful. Less thinking about food, trying to avoid it, feeling pressured to eat it when I don't want anything, wondering if I'm screwing up the plan and my chances of success, blah, blah, blah....
Is it bedtime yet?:sing::p
Yam yam, I look forward to UDs more, however, on DDs I do find myself thinking how much better I feel not eating, and also I always realize on my DD that I'm not particularly hungry. And I start to think, that I think it is likely that 80% of the time I am eating on my UD, it's not because I'm hungry. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I actually look forward to UDs more, but actually enjoy my DDs more, if that makes any sense whatsoever lol
I may be the odd person too, because UDs concern me in exactly the same way you describe. :eek: I can do a mid day and not a worry, but when I fail to do an UD, it stresses my psyche to come up with a plan that insures more than adequate calories. I finally decided to eat to hunger scale and quit the nonsense. :)
I know what you mean Yam-Yam. DDs are not really very fun, but they're not really very bad either. Lots less to think about, food-wise. UDs, there's planning, and budgeting, and oh-my-gosh what if I want a "fill in the blank" later and don't have enough for it.
I agree with you, that a lowish UD isn't going go hurt you here and there. But remember those sirtuins really get going with good spread. It shouldn't be this complicated, should it? Just eating I mean. Sigh...
However, because you've just come back to strict rotations, it might be easier to get some good calories under your belt early in the day next UD, with maybe only a light evening meal planned.
You're right LCG, eating shouldn't be complicated but unfortunately we're trying to eat well and lose weight! :laugh:
I don't dread them, and I don't look forward to them. They just are. Same with UDs, though I do enjoy eating and rarely stress about it. :dunno:
I really do look forward to them quite often. I enjoy the emptier feeling in rotation with eating whatever I like, makes them both better. I had two up days back to back last weekend and just felt so dang full at the end of the second day that I was really looking forward to having less in me.
Push away the stress dear heart, you always do so well
:hugs: Love ya Yam yam.. I think starting after a few weeks off is tough.. I have missed my rotations.. and i "think" I am goin to throw caution to the wind and start them again.. Two things have changeed since i stop them and started eating every day..
1 Acid reflux is back.. Not with a vengance.. but back none the less..and
2. Blood pressure is up a tad.. last nites BP was 138 over 74.. That top number was resting at 110 or below for a long time while doing JUDDD. So for health reasons i belive i will start up my daily rotations again. with you~ :)
You guys get me!!!
Wow! Wow! I just love you JBs!! You really "get" me. I don't have to worry that you will all think I'm nuts when I need to rant and rave. :hugs:
I sometimes look forward to DDs. I am finding that I look forward to them more now, on 5:2 because they aren't eod. :D I really enjoyed my last DD and am enjoying today as well. I've had that DD "high" last couple of DDs...not sure if that's because of 5:2 or not, but I just feel really good!
I look forward to them usually b/c I know that is the day my body does the most "work" on this plan, so I'm looking forward to the payoff afterwards.
Not looking forward to being cold, and to making sure that even though I generally stick to my numbers and it's generally not that hard, it's still sort of a constant-vigilence thing all the day.
At the end of a DD, I usually plan every morsel I want to eat on the UD, just to give myself a reason to stay in bed and not get up and snack. Then I wake up on the UD, and I'm NOT HUNGRY :) and I usually re-work the whole previous plan so that it's less carby, or has some other focus.
I get excited and nervous, weighing in after a DD (i.e. UD morning... sort of like Christmas morning, but with only 1 present). ;)
Much to my own surprise, I am actually becoming fond of DDs. I love the "clean" feeling that I get. I feel energized. I enjoy the manageable hunger because it tells me that I am getting in tune with my body and that JUDDD is doing its magic. I know that if there is something I would especially like to eat, that I may have it the next day. It is really odd to even see those words typed out, because I would have never expected to feel that way...ever. I am thankful that I don't dread them anymore. The dread really only was a factor prior to actually having the first few DD's under my belt. I am surprised at the deliciousness of a 500 calorie day menu and that it is relatively easy to stay within bounds. I love the fact that having the discipline to stay true to the DD protocol enables me to have luxurious guilt free indulgences (within reason, of course) on UDs. I love that I am feeling better and stronger each day. I don't even get upset now when the scale doesn't budge or I see the UD bounce occur. I know that I am healthier and happier....and that things are moving in the right direction. Last but certainly not least, I am so happy to have found such a wonderful group to interact with and learn with. Thank you!
Yam yes i did.My body got used to giving me the wrong signals.. Trained it that way unfortunatley.. I did struggle to eat all my UD cal and had to resort to eat till full and then cram in at end of day what i was missing from lack of calorie dence food with peanutbutter,, by the spoonfulls just to get there! Thank goodness those days are over lol.. My appitite has been healed by JUDDD for sure :hyst: Once you get goin again.. you will find it comes back.. and i would say.. on your UD stay clear of coffee.. i found a habbit of drinking coffee on my UD just like my DD and it keeps me from not bieng hungry.. Another thing ya can try is.. eat as soon as your feet hit the floor in the am before you drink that coffee.. it seams to get your motor running ~ :0

Tackling Risk Head On: Interview with Dan Milstein
Even on a shaky phone connection, engineer and entrepreneur Dan Milstein commands attention. He's worked at several startups over the years, including HubSpot, and shows no sign of slowing down. If anything, this business-minded developer is hungry to take the lessons he's learned from failed ventures and apply them to future endeavors. On the first blog post of his newly created software and product development consultancy, Hut 8 Labs, Milstein talks about the importance of running an effective post-mortem on startup failures.
According to Milstein, the most common human response to failure is shame, and no one wants to talk about why things went wrong. But not talking about failure can be detrimental to startups through missed opportunities to make valuable improvements but also to perpetuating damaging patterns in the team.
I caught up with Milstein recently to delve deeper into what causes failure and how teams can beneficially work with and address it.
For Milstein, failure can stem from anything as small as not getting a piece of work into the right hands soon enough to as large as a mismatch in identifying a common pain and the common solution to that problem. For our conversation, we focused on the larger conceptual failures in which the startup may not even know it has a problem:
"It can feel like you're making progress when you've talked to a whole lot of people and explained, 'Here's how I think you feel,' and [they] say, 'Yes, that's exactly how we feel.' And that can feel really validating, but until you actually have something that they're buying from you that solves that problem, you're potentially pretty far away still."
Many startups make the early mistake of being able to correctly identify the problem in their market, but they may slip up in offering the solution. Milstein notes that "not everyone may want the same solution." If you want to offer a solution that people will be willing to buy, everyone in the startup must be tasked with answering a common question:
"We have this common pain. Our question is now, 'Is there a product we can sell into that pain?' That's a sales question and that's a product question and that's an engineering question. Can we actually build something that we can sell that people want. If you get everyone involved to understand everything they're doing is to answer that question, then all your product questions and all your engineering questions and all your sales questions should fit into that overarching goal."
However, Milstein observes that startups often silo responsibilities: engineers are responsible for building the product, product managers for making decisions about what to build, and sales for getting people to buy the product. And this is a mistake. Teams, instead, need to unify around answering a common question.
Answering questions is about tackling risk head on. Milstein defines a startup as a "team of people who are trying to make a new product or new service in conditions of extreme uncertainty," and this uncertainty can be paralyzing if you don't address it. Siloing responsibility makes it harder for teams to address risk together. Startups need to "focus on the risks rather than pretend they aren't there" and understand that "in conditions of extreme uncertainty, you're going to get things really badly wrong"
In closing, Milstein offers the following advice to leaders for tackling uncertainty and risk with their team:
- Leaders have to accept that they, themselves, don't know the answers (in fact, they likely don't even know the right questions)
- They have to have the confidence to openly share that uncertainty with their team
- They have to then celebrate when their team learns things, even if the things learned mean that the hopes / plans of the company are going to have to change

Indians rip Twins to forge lead over Rays, Rangers for Wild Card
Minneapolis, MN, United States (4E Sports) – The Cleveland Indians moved into sole possession of the AL wild-card by beating the Minnesota Twins 5-1 Saturday at the Target Center.
Lefty Scott Kazmir (10-9) had 11 strikeouts and allowed one run and six hits in six innings to lead the Indians in extending their winning streak to nine.
Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer in the fourth to start the scoring.
Ryan Doumit reached on a leadoff single and later came around to score on a base hit to right field from Twins catcher Eric Fryer to cut the lead to 2-1.
Then Michael Bourn had a two-run triple in the fifth and scored on Kipnis' single for a 5-1 lead.
Twins' Cole De Vries (0-2) retired the first 11 batters while setting a new career high in strikeouts with seven.
But the two-out single he gave up to Jason Kipnis resulted in a two-run blast by the Indians.
Seeking their first postseason appearance since 2007, the Indians (91-70) took a one-game lead over Tampa Bay and Texas (both 90-71).

Copenhagen: On Thursday, Chou Tien Chen of Taiwan was handed a walkover into the quarter-finals of the World Championships as Jan Jorgensen of Denmark has withdrawn from competition due to knee injury.
Copenhagen: After winning his first championship outside of Europe in June 2014 - the Indonesia Open, he rewarded himself with a relaxing vacation in Maldives.
Jakarta: On Sunday, Denmark's Jan O. Jorgensen defeated Kenichi Tago to win the men's singles title.
In the women's singles final, world number one Li Xuerui of China defeated Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand 21-13, 21-13 in 37 minutes to win the title.
Jakarta: Torch got passed in Jakarta on Sunday night. Despite being crowned several titles in Europe such as 2010 Denmark Open and French Open last year, Denmark's Jan O. Jorgensen has yet to win a championship in other continents until Sunday. After his breakthrough win against Kenichi Tago in the Indonesia Open final, he has become one of the most dangerous badminton player from Denmark after Peter Gade.
Jakarta: World number one Lee Chong Wei was knocked out of the Indonesia Open in the semi-finals on Saturday in a shock loss to fourth-seed Kenichi Tago of Japan.The Malaysian could not keep up with Tago in the first game, making unforced errors and placing the shuttle wide of the sidelines."Tago played better and more aggressively today," said Chong Wei.
Jakarta: World number one Lee Chong Wei who will be chasing his sixth Indonesia Open title, breezed through his second round match rapidly and easily with 21-4, 21-16 thumping of Frenchman Brice Leverdez. Unfortunately, luck was not on Chong Wei Feng and Mohamad Arif Abdul Latif's side on Thursday.
Chong Wei Feng went down to Kenichi Tago of Japan 18-21, 15-21, and Mohamad Arif Abdul Latif was not be able to reproduce his stunning first round form by losing to third seed Jan O Jorgensen 21-18 21-11 in 30 minutes.
Jakarta: In the first round of Indonesia Open, Mohd Arif Abdul Latif of Malaysia put up a brilliant all-around performance to upset Japan's Thomas Cup hero, world number 11th Kento Momota 21-19, 21-13 in 34 minutes. His victory makes me wonder had Malaysia decided to bring Arif to New Delhi, and played him in the Thomas Cup final against Momota, Malaysia would have already brought back the Thomas Cup. Oh well, I guess there is no "if" in reality.
Tokyo: On a day full of upsets in Japan Open quarter finals, world number one Lee Chong Wei managed to avoid an upset bid from Tommy Sugiarto of Indonesia by closing it out 21-15, 12-21, 21-17 in 62-minute. Chong Wei will set up a mouth-watering clash with Kenichi Tago who is on a revenge mission, having whitewashed by Chong Wei in the Thomas Cup final last month.
On the other hand, luck was not on China's side in the quarter final of Japan Open, where two time Olympic gold medalist Lin Dan was toppled by Jan O Jorgensen of Denmark 19-21, 21-13, 16-21; and Chen Long was crushed by Hu Yun of Hong Kong 18-21, 21-19, 15-21.
Kazan, Russia: Denmark - the European badminton powerhouse, made all of the finals of badminton's European Championships in Kazan, Russia on Sunday.
The top seed Jan Ø Jorgensen of Denmark was able to live up to his expectation in men's singles by beating fifth-seeded Rajiv Ouseph of England 21-18, 21-10 in just 33 minutes to take the gold. Ouseph, who won a European bronze four years ago, reeled
Kuala Lumpur: World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei will meet Chen Long from China in the Yonex Sunrise - India Open Super Series badminton championships on Sunday. This is their third clash this year.
Lee Chong Wei had to work extra hard to defeat another Chinese player, Du Pengyu in a thrilling three set match 21-17, 19-21, 21-14 that lasted an hour 12 minutes.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Open champions Lim Khim Wah-Goh V Shem went down 18-21, 21-15, 16-21 to Ko Sung-hyun-Shin Baek-cheol of South Korea. This was a bitter blow to the pair because they were once ahead with 14-10 and 15-12 in the third set.
Their coach Rosman Razak said: "Khim Wah and V Shem played much better this game, they had their chances to seal the deal, and they were once in control by leading 15-12 in the rubber game. Then, they started making mistakes. The South Koreans took advantage of Kim-Wah-V Shem's mistakes and never look back"
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei is just one step away from winning his 10th Malaysian Open title but hang on! The man he was least expected to meet – Indonesia's Tommy Sugiarto – could spoil his party.
Chong Wei and Tommy won their semi-final matches in contrasting fashion at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday to set up an intriguing men's singles final on Sunday.
Chong Wei stepped onto the court bracing for a gigantic fight from Jan O Jorgensen of Denmark. Instead, his opponent gave up halfway due to a muscle strain on his right thigh.
Chong Wei won 21-13, 3-0 in 27 minutes.
BUKIT JALIL: World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei took a dig at the Malaysian juniors after reaching the men's singles semi-finals of the Maybank Malaysian Open.
He told them to emulate Japan's 20-year-old Kento Momota and show progress in their game.
On Friday, the 31-year-old Chong Wei showed that he was back in the groove when he made short work of China's Du Pengyu with a classy 21-9, 21-15 win in just 34 minutes at Putra Stadium.
On Saturday, Chong Wei will take on Denmark's Jan O Jorgensen for a place in final and to keep alive the hope of winning his 10th home title.
BUKIT JALIL: World No. 5 Kenichi Tago of Japan believes that he is his greatest enemy.
The industrious yet stylish Tago came close to winning his first Super Series title last year but fell in the final of the French Open to Denmark's Jan O Jorgensen.
The Chiba native's confidence took a blow and he ended the year on a low – twice losing to Indonesia's Tommy Sugiarto and failing to make the final of the Super Series Finals last month.
But after exacting revenge on world No. 3 Jorgensen in the quarter-finals of the Korean Open last week, Tago believes that the morale boosting semi-final finish is a good start to the year.
BUKIT JALIL: If there is one person to break Lee Chong Wei's more than five-year reign as the world No. 1 player, it has to be Chen Long of China this year.
That's the belief of Denmark's top player Jan O Jorgensen, who is here for the Maybank Malaysian Open starting on Wednesday at Putra Stadium.
"I may be currently ranked third in the world but I do not see myself breaking Chong Wei's reign in the near future," said the 26-year-old Jorgensen, who has won only two Super Series titles - the 2010 Denmark Open and last year's French Open.
"For now, Chong Wei and Chen Long are in a different league all together. They are able to raise the level of badminton to a different level when they face-off."
"I do not dare put myself in that league to threaten Chong Wei's reign - just yet. For now, it is Chen Long's role."
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei has promised to bounce back stronger at the Malaysian Open after failing to get off to a dream start in the season-opening Korean Open in Seoul.
The 31-year-old shuttler went down 14-21, 15-21 to China's Chen Long in Sunday's 56-minute men's singles final, thus crushing his hopes of winning the Korean Open for the fourth time.
It was Chen Long's eighth win over Chong Wei in 15 meetings – and his fourth consecutive victory over the Malaysian – in a period of 14 months.
The powerful Chen Long, who is trying to fill in the shoes of five-time world champion Lin Dan, produced an efficient display to give himself an early 25th birthday present.
Chen Long, who turns 25 on Jan 18, accelerated to a 7-0 first-game lead in just six minutes – showcasing his brilliance at the net and superb execution of smashes from the baseline.

Some 700 mourners filled the pews Friday for a funeral Mass for 19-year-old Elizabeth Conway Nass, who died after being "at the wrong place at the wrong time," Monsignor John A. Dietzenbach said, referring to this week's tragic train derailment in Ellicott City.
Ms. Nass, who died along with her friend, Rose Louese Mayr, was remembered at the Church of the Resurrection as a fun-loving, spirited woman who was studying at James Madison University in Virginia to be a special-education teacher.
"Elizabeth and Rose were at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that doesn't seem to be a satisfying answer," said Monsignor Dietzenbach. He called on the mourners to foster Ms. Nass' "spirit and energy" to carry out the contributions she intended to make to society.
Ms. Nass and Ms. Mayr, 19, were sitting on the edge of a railroad bridge over the town's historic Main Street when an 80-car CSX train derailed, burying the young women in coal. The 2010 Mount Hebron High School graduates, friends since elementary school, were sharing each other's company one last time before parting ways to start their junior years at college.
Ms. Nass and Ms. Mayr, a nursing student at the University of Delaware, died of compressional asphyxia as the coal crushed their bodies, according to the medical examiner.
At Friday's service, the front of the church was adorned with flowers, including white and pink roses in the shape of a peace sign.
Ms. Nass' mother, Susan, quietly moved around the church, giving long and sometimes tearful hugs to those whose lives her daughter touched.
Cousins shared stories of the woman from the pulpit, including tales of childhood pranks. One cousin, Kyle Nass, thanked the congregation for talking about their memories of "Elizabeth," "Liz," and "Betty," as she was variously known.
Other family members asked for prayers for Ms. Mayr's family and friends, for teachers and students as they start school, and for firefighters, paramedics and police officers so that they don't lose heart from the tragedies they encounter.
Among the mourners were a handful of Ms. Nass' Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority sisters. Ms. Mayr's parents, Mark and Sharon, also attended.
A funeral service for Ms. Mayr is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at Bethany United Methodist Church, 2875 Bethany Lane, Ellicott City.
Jill Booth, one of Ms. Mayr's roommates at the University of Delaware, said she was the kind of friend one meets just once in a lifetime. Ms. Booth said she will cherish Ms. Mayr's friendship for the rest of her life.
"Her spirit was captivating and her personality unforgettable," Ms. Booth said in an email. "I am honored and will be forever grateful to have shared so many memories with her during our first two years at the University of Delaware. Our sweet Rose will always be in my heart."
Paige Mazzie, another one of Ms. Mayr's roommates, recalled her as "beautiful, kind and loving." Ms. Mazzie said Ms. Mayr was a dancer and singer who found a balance between maintaining high academic marks and enjoying college social life.
"Rose always went with 'the flow' of everything, always calm," Ms. Mazzie wrote in an email. "She brought a smile to anyone's face without having to try. ...
"This year will not be [the] same without her as a roommate and a friend. I loved Rose, like many others, and she will forever be in my heart and with my memories."
Ms. Nass' services were held the same day the National Transportation Safety Board revised the time at which it believes the train derailment occurred, shifting it from 12:02 a.m. Tuesday to 11:56 p.m. Monday.
The agency estimated damage from the accident at $2.2 million, including the cost of environmental cleanup.
The NTSB said its investigation of the signal system is complete and that all of the rail equipment from the derailed train has been recovered and inspected. The agency expected to finish interviews with the train crew, maintenance workers and track inspectors Friday afternoon.
Jim Southworth, the NTSB's investigator in charge, expected to complete the on-scene phase of the investigation Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Howard County Executive Ken Ulman said roads that had been closed in downtown Ellicott City since the accident were to reopen at 7 p.m. Friday.
Some community members were rallying support for the town's small businesses, which lost customers after the accident shut down part of Main Street. The Main Street Appreciation weekend was set to start Friday with a "night out" focusing on restaurants and bars, said Tom Coale, a local blogger leading the effort.
Baltimore Sun reporter Michael Dresser contributed to this article.

Oakland, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Stephen Curry scored 32 points with 15 assists and the Golden State Warriors defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, 130-120, on Monday.
With the win, Golden State moved one game clear of Dallas and Memphis and secured the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
David Lee tallied 25 points with nine rebounds, Draymond Green had a career- high 20 points with 12 rebounds and Klay Thompson also added 20 points for the Warriors.
"It's nice to see him (Lee) get his legs back and moving well," said Curry. "It's a big-time confidence boost going into the playoffs just the way his body has responded."
Kevin Love scored 22 of his 40 points in the first quarter while recording 14 rebounds and nine assists for the Wolves, who have lost two straight and three of their last four.
Corey Brewer netted 22 points and Gorgui Dieng deposited 14 points with 11 rebounds in the setback. Ricky Rubio added 15 points with eight assists for Minnesota.
Lee made a hook shot to open the scoring and give the Warriors an early lead. Love proceeded to hit three straight 3-pointers, then knocked down a pair from the free-throw line before Rubio converted a three-point play to give the Timberwolves a 14-2 advantage.
Minnesota maintained the edge for the remainder of the first quarter and led 42-28 after 12 minutes of play.
Brewer's pull-up jumper helped the Timberwolves stretch the margin to 19, 51-32, with just over nine minutes to play in the second.
That's when Golden State made its run.
Curry and Green each hit a pair of threes as part of a 23-4 surge that tied the game at 55-apiece with 2:46 left until halftime.
Minnesota regained the lead and was in front 64-57 when Jermaine O'Neal made a jumper from in close and Thompson nailed a 3, cutting the deficit to two at the break.
"You knew they were going to make a run," said Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman. "Nothing changed. You're not going to be able to hold them down. We got out to a great start, but you knew they were going to make a run eventually."
The fast-paced affair continued in the third with each team trading baskets throughout the period. Golden State brought a 97-92 advantage into the fourth.
Love's 3-pointer with 2 1/2 minutes left in the fourth cut the deficit to three at 119-116, but Lee answered with a layup before Curry added five straight points to push the spread to double digits.
The Warriors have 50 wins for the first time since the 1993-94 season ... The
Timberwolves had a 23-15 edge on the fastbreak ... Golden State owned a 51-43
edge in rebounds ... The Warriors scored 32 points off of 21 Minnesota
