Samuel Smith says:
"Throughout history, beer of somewhat higher alcohol and richness has been enjoyed for the winter holidays, when old friends get together to enjoy the season. Wassail, a festival to celebrate winter and the beer that goes with it, predates the Christian era. Winter Welcome is vintage-dated with a special label each year. Serve in a traditional tankard for the holidays."
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale
Winter Warmer, 6% ABV
Sayeth the Guys:
Andrew: I've never had the Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale, but had heard nothing but good things about it, "Oh you'll love it," "you can't go wrong with that beer," "if you see it, you have to pick it up!"
So I did. And I was not disappointed.
This winter warmer pours a beautiful red, copper color with an off-white fluffy head. The nose was full of malt, spice, some hops and a bit of citrus.
The beer starts off sweet – bready malts, bananas, citrus and other fruits. The hops don't waste any time making their presence known, causing this beer to be somewhat bitter and dry on the finish. In the aftertaste the beer turns sweet once again, with bananas and other fruits taking over.
The flavors and spices, with the ever-so-slight carbonation, make this a very warm, drinkable winter warmer. However, I will say that unlike other winter/Christmas beers, the Winter Welcome Ale is missing something, a wow factor of sorts. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this beer, I just wish there was more of something to make it more unique.
About Andrew
Government by day, politics by night and beer every minute in between (and let's be honest, sometimes during) is Andrew's story. He works with his network of friends across the country to bring in new, regional beers and is always quick to jump when Ryan blows the conch to assemble The Guys for a unique vertical or cellar experiment.

this is getting old -_- if my good email address starts to get spammed now imma cry
Why? :(. Why must there be hackers in this world, can't we all live in peace? :D
we need the a-team in on this!
Because they'll get paid more for their skill on the black market than any other job.
Eh... Knowing Valve it's probably going to be okay. If my password does end up being unencrypted and my account suddenly compromised then I am going to truly worry then.
"This really sucks, but I'm glad I'm haven't used steam yet. But imagine how many millions more, would have been victim if Battlefield 3 was available on Steam."
That is a pretty biased statement right there... I mean there was Battlefield Bad Company 2, and Grand Theft Auto IV; the issue is more severe then you think and quite frankly I'm tired of your ignorance here...
There are millions of people using Steam, whether or not Battlefield 3 was available on Steam does not diminish the number of subscribers using the service... Just because Battlefield 3 is not on there does not mean that a sizable number of people out there who's had their info compromised... But again, while the emails may have not been encrypted, their passwords and credit card information are... And if it's any indication of past encounters with encrypted data; I am very sure Valve used a complicated encryption algorithm to protect the user's password and credit card information. I mean hey, why should they be Sony and let everything be insecure; they love their customers right?
Just because you said that comment afterward does not rid the fact that you don't take this seriously. At all... Now who says something like that?
Side note: You have got to have something other then Battlefield 3 for the PC. I mean you've had that PC for a pretty long time right, surely you must have other games for it...
"Angry Birds, off course."
Angry Birds doesn't count (or any game (flash or otherwise) that you can play through Facebook for that matter.); though it is funny that you play that game on a system that is outdated in terms of performance and Battlefield 3 playability. *cough* Radeon HD 4870X2 *cough*
"Hahaha, according to Tomshardware Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart, my 4870X2 , 2GB , BTW, has more Graphics umph, than your weakling little single GPU 6950. It still even matches a GTX 480 "
But he's got you on DX11 capability.
When are you two gonna knock this crap off?
It's getting OLD!
EDIT: Forget what I said.
This is why I buy my games the old fashioned way.
Me too usually.
~*Then*~ I tie them to my STEAM account so all of the latest updates come down the pipe auto-magically.
I've won some steam codes for free games as well. (thanks Hot Hardware!)
But I have never given STEAM my credit card number.
Email accounts cost nothing. There shouldn't be any reason to use your direct personal email address for things like steam, subscriptions, etc. I'd be worried about the credit card info though if I were a customer. I'm not much of a gamer, and I buy my games in brick and mortar stores as much as possible anyway.
Just got off my steam account pre-loading Skyrim so I can play when midnight rolls around, made myself a nice cup of tea and sit down and browse internet....and this is the next crap I see......FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUU!
aw well, guess I'll be watching my statements.
let those hackers use my card, i will shut them down. Remember guys, never ever ever put your debit card on the internet, only use credit. Debt cards can have all your money out your account all at once if a hacker gets a hold of it.
Luckily here in the Netherlands we use 2pass authentication for everything we do with out money, so not threat for me. And I am glad to see that the information was hashed/salted and encrypted.
This is (again) one of the few times I'm real happy I don't have a credit card ;-)
Get used to it these types of things will continue to happen and are only going to get worse before they get better. Changed passwords again and will be watching credit card statements though I don't really think they got that far.
Its deplorable what the hackers anew have become vs the hackers of old. I guess they don't really stand for the people since its the people they hurt.
can we have biometric scans instead of passwords already...
I'm not sure if biometric scans will be that much better then passwords. I mean think about it, biometric scans and passwords are really the same and can be hacked in mostly the same way.
I'm so over these "hackers" trying to grow there e-peen getting into sites like this. I already put a watch on my credit card. Steam does have my card info, but its a separate account since I really don't trust anything online as of late. They would get all of $15 if they did get in and my cards are all set up to just decline rather than getting overdraft charges.

When the Wiltern was Western
By Carla On January 6, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Carole Lombard Media, Hooray for Hollywood
A couple of weeks ago I saw Russell Brand perform. He was hilarious. And brilliant. Equally impressive was the magnificent theatre I was sitting in: the Wiltern Theatre located on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue in Los Angeles. The 80 yearold theatre is art deco at its best. It's stunning. I wish I had taken photos of the interior but it was dark and I was flashless. At one point during the show I remember thinking to myself, "Wonder if Carole came here?" (This is my litmus for historical Hollywood locations these days).
Well I did some sleuthing and found a video of the star-studded grand opening of the theatre then known as the Warner Brothers Western Theatre. On October 7, 1931 Hollywood's finest came out to support the theatre and see the premiere of Alexander Hamilton. Wilshire was spanned by a bridge which the audiences for the opening crossed over to enter the theatre. Some of the stars included James Cagney, Loretta Young, Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. You'll also see Mr. and Mrs. Clark Gable- back when it referred to Ria. Finally, there's Carole. She's accompanying her husband at the time William Powell. William Powell conducted the dedication as the master of ceremonies. Both are escorted by Moe Silver, General Manager of Warner Brothers. You'll notice that her name is spelled "Carol." Old habits die hard. Enjoy!

Social, legal, and cultural aspects
As with any epidemic for which there is no cure, tragedy shadows the disease's advance. From wreaking havoc on certain populations (such as the gay community in San Francisco in the 1980s) to infecting more than one-third of adults in sub-Saharan African countries such as Botswana, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe at the turn of the 21st century, AIDS has had a devastating social impact. Its collateral cultural effect has been no less far-reaching, sparking new research in medicine and complex legal debates as well as intense competition among scientists, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions. Since the mid-1980s the International AIDS Society has held regular conferences at which new research and medical advances have been discussed.
In order to raise public awareness, advocates promote the wearing of a loop of red ribbon to indicate their concern. Activist groups lobby governments for funding for education, research, and treatment, and support groups provide a wide range of services, including medical, nursing, and hospice care, housing, psychological counseling, meals, and legal services. Those who have died of AIDS have been memorialized in the more than 44,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which has been displayed worldwide both to raise funds and to emphasize the human dimension of the tragedy. The United Nations designated December 1 as World AIDS Day.
Regarding access to the latest medical treatments for AIDS, the determining factors tend often to be geographic and economic. Simply put, developing nations often lack the means and funding to support the advanced treatments available in industrialized countries. On the other hand, in many developed countries specialized health care has caused the disease to be perceived as treatable or even manageable. That perception has fostered a lax attitude toward HIV prevention (such as safe sex practices or sterile needle distribution programs), which in turn has led to new increases in HIV infection rates.
Because of the magnitude of the disease in Africa, in sub-Saharan Africa in particular, the governments of that region have tried to fight the disease in a variety of ways. Some countries have made arrangements with multinational pharmaceutical companies to make HIV drugs available in Africa at lower costs. Other countries, such as South Africa, have begun manufacturing such drugs themselves instead of importing them. Plants indigenous to Africa are being scrutinized for their usefulness in developing various HIV treatments.
In the absence of financial resources to pay for new drug therapies, many African countries have found education to be the best defense against the disease. In Uganda, for example, songs about the disease, nationally distributed posters, and public awareness campaigns starting as early as kindergarten have all helped to stem the spread of AIDS. Prostitutes in Senegal are licensed and are regularly tested for HIV, and the clergy, including Islamic religious leaders, work to inform the public about the disease. Other parts of Africa, however, have seen little progress. For example, the practice of sexually violating very young girls has developed among some HIV-positive African men because of the misguided belief that such acts will somehow cure them of the disease. In sub-Saharan Africa the stigma associated with homosexuality and the illegal nature of that sexual orientation in some countries there have discouraged gay men from seeking treatment for the disease and have severely hindered the extension of AIDS outreach programs to that population. In 2009 the incidence of AIDS among homosexual males in certain African countries was found to be alarmingly highsome 10 times higher than in the male population at large. Furthermore, many homosexual men in those areas were reportedly unaware that the disease could be transmitted from male to male. In the opinion of many, only better education can battle the damaging stereotypes, misinformation, and disturbing practices associated with AIDS.
Laws concerning HIV and AIDS typically fall into four broad categories: mandatory reporting, mandatory testing, laws against transmission, and immigration. The mandatory reporting of newly discovered HIV infections is meant to encourage early treatment. Many countries, including Canada, Switzerland, Denmark, and Germany, have enacted mandatory screening laws for HIV. Some countries, such as Estonia, require mandatory testing of prison populations (in response to explosive rates of infection among the incarcerated). Most of the United States requires some form of testing for convicted sex offenders. Other legal and international issues concern the criminalization of knowing or unknowing transmission (more prevalent in the United States and Canada) and the rights of HIV-positive individuals to immigrate to or even enter foreign countries. In 1987 the United States added AIDS to its list of communicable diseases that prevent an infected person's entry into the country. Eleven other countriesincluding Saudi Arabia, Libya, Qatar, Russia, and South Koreaalso imposed immigration bans against persons infected with HIV. On January 4, 2010, U.S. Pres. Barack Obama lifted the U.S. ban, declaring that it contradicted the country's goal of serving as a leader in the global fight against AIDS.
In the United States some communities have fought the opening of AIDS clinics or the right of HIV-positive children to attend public schools. Several countriesnotably Thailand, India, and Brazilhave challenged international drug patent laws, arguing that the societal need for up-to-date treatments supersedes the rights of pharmaceutical companies. At the start of the 21st century many Western countries were also battling the reluctance of some governments to direct public awareness campaigns at high-risk groups such as homosexuals, prostitutes, and drug users out of fear of appearing to condone their lifestyles.
For the world of art and popular culture, HIV/AIDS has been double-edged. On the one hand, AIDS removed from the artistic heritage many talented photographers, singers, actors, dancers, and writers in the world. On the other hand, as with the tragedy of war and even the horror of the Holocaust, AIDS has spurred moving works of art as well as inspiring stories of perseverance. From Paul Monette's Love Alone to John Corigliano's Symphony No. 1 and to the courage with which American tennis star Arthur Ashe publicly lived his final days after acquiring AIDS from a blood transfusionthose, as much as the staggering rates of infection, constitute the legacy of AIDS.

Although I often think a good comparision, in some respects, not in others, would be to an adolescent...they know everything, are over sensitive, don't want to be told what to do...and really want to do it their way..etc.

I have, but I don't get the relevence of this comment to U.S. politics?
More than anything else, Iraqi's can't stand other people telling them what to do.
Ever been in Iraq?
Most of the Iraqi's I have spoken with think that these people are getting far to much attention and compassion after what they have done to their own people and that they deserve far worse then this. Again, not all..and I don't agree. But I also don't think they need you to speak for them as a whole, painting their thoughts and opinions, which differ so widely...with one big sweep....

Hi, guys I want to know if there is truly any link with lack of sleep and acne. I have light to moderate acne. I also have trouble sleeping. Over the past few months I've noticed that I've been getting small pimples right at my temples. These pimples are tiny but you gotta know my frustration with them when I am close to having clear skin. I am wondering if sleeping on a certain side causes the breakouts. I am also curious to know if sleep deprivation causes acne flare ups as well. If anyone has noticed the link, I would be grateful to know what you did to solve this issue. Like do you wash your pillow case every 3 days? Kind of off topic and silly, but any help on falling asleep? Any tips would be great!

theyre our brothers.
Kevin Walsh of the University of Richmond School of Law writes:
The twitterverse is alive with tweets about Justice Scalias headgear for todays inauguration. At the risk of putting all the fun speculation to an end . . . The hat is a custom-made replica of the hat depicted in Holbeins famous portrait of St. Thomas More. It was a gift from the St. Thomas More Society of Richmond, Virginia. We presented it to him in November 2010 as a memento of his participation in our 27th annual Red Mass and dinner.
Wearing the cap of a statesman who defended liberty of church and integrity of Christian conscience to the inauguration of a president whose policies have imperiled both: Make of it what you will.
He's what I make of it:
St. Thomas More would be appalled.
Snipped to portion being answered. Longer post above.
Nah! Don't think so. St. Thomas More would not back down from his beliefs even when it meant death. Perhaps Obama needs that reminder that there are some who are not able to be bullied. Afterall, Obama had taken the opportunity at a State of the Union address to personally go after the co-equal Judicial Branch. He told some untruths about them all the while knowing that they could not even defend themselves.
He's what I make of it:
A Supreme Court justice is so corrupt he is actually espousing a politically view openly in public.
So much for the impartiality of the judiciary.
St. Thomas More would be appalled.
If you remember your history Thomas More resigned his post.
Perhaps Justice Scalia needs that reminder that if you're going to hold to your personal beliefs you don't get to keep your cushy government job.
Especially if you're sworn to be impartial.
Only if you subject all those holding cushy government jobs to the same standards!
Actually I do.
I have advocated from years that county clerks who feel that issuing marriage certificates to same sex couples is something they cannot do because of their religious beliefs should quit.
If you can't uphold the laws that your suppose to uphold it's time to find another job.
An immoral law, is no law at all

Local Grammy-winning artist Mike Bigga, formerly known as Killer Mike, will be mentoring a young Athens musician on MTV's "Made" in an episode scheduled to air at 4 p.m. today (Feb. 24.
In the episode, Bigga turns James Padgett into rapper JZP to help build up his confidence in himself and constructively battle bullying.
Bigga brings a couple of Grammy Award‐winning friends to help: Big Boi of Outkast and Chamillionaire.
According to his press release, Bigga is a "community activist and youth advocate who attended Morehouse College, Bigga is signed to T.I.'s Grand Hustle Records label. His latest album, Pl3dge, is scheduled for a spring release."
In an interview, Bigga said Padgett was a victim of cyber-bullying. Bigga helped Padgett create raps not only about "girls and ballin' " but about issues Padgett cares about like alternative energy. This helped improve Padgett's standing at his high school and build his confidence. Bigga admitted he was a bit of a bullying presence at Frederick Douglass High School at one point but his principal and several teachers turned him around and he ended up going to Morehouse College.
In November, Bigga refuted a lawsuit claiming he was involved beating and taking hostage a studio engineer over a missing gold chain.
Bigga, whose real name is Mike Render, said he changed his name from Killer Mike in 2009 to Mike Bigga because he wanted something that sounded less threatening and more positive for youth. But he wondered why a rock group can be called The Killers and get no flak, yet as a black man, he was criticized for being called Killer Mike.
He is interested in politics and plans to run for a city council post someday.
Here's a trailer to the episode:

There are two kinds of campers. The do-ers and the whiners. Some guys like to sleep on the ground, some like to have an air mattress, a sleeping bag, and a tent floor in between themselves and said ground. To each his own, I guess. Either way, every fall, thousands of men, along with their counterparts, pack up their car and venture into the woods to go camping. Here's the best of everything for the best (and neediest) of everyone.
Gimme Shelter: Although pricey, this tent fits three people. Add in some ghost stories, a few beers, two old girlfriends from college--you do the math. $568.95, North Face, paragonsports.com.
Good Night's Sleep: Whoever said sleeping alone was a bad thing? Stay warm and free of clingy cuddlers in this Marmot sleeping bag. It's waterproof so neither rain nor sleet can keep you from getting your Z's. $89, Marmot, marmot.com. And don't forget the sleeping bag for your best friend, Rover (or Spot, or whatever predictable dog name you've got). $15, Coleman, coleman.com.
Sit Back: As much as we all like roughing it, let's face it, camping is a vacation after all. You need somewhere to sit and chill. And more importantly, there's a place to put your drink. $20, Coleman, coleman.com.
Stay Cool: And where from are you fetching these drinks? You're wheeled cooler, of course. $55, Coleman, coleman.com.
Eat Up: Sometimes, the best part of camping is eating some hot food. While real men just eat with their hands, let's try and keep it civilized. Plus, it comes with a spork. $19.99, Light My Fire, REI.com.
Top Chef: You need something with which to cook that food you're stuffing in your mouth. For more hardcore campers, it might seem impractical to bring an entire grill with you, but we're directing this to the more leisurely folk. While a fire is good for marshmallows and staying warm--for real eaters you need a grill. Try the Road Trip Party Grill. We like it for the name alone. $45, Coleman, coleman.com.
Drink Up: I'm sure the majority of what you're doing after dark is emptying beer cans, but by day it is wise to stay hydrated. Take the ultimate combination hydration system/daypack on those hikes and fishing excursions and you'll never go thirsty again. $85, Camelbak, moosejaw.com.
Keep it Clean: For the love of God, you may be in the wilderness, but no one wants to share a tent with a smelly-ass yeti. $4.99, Adventure Medical Kits, adventuremedicalkits.com.
Don't Get Killed: Lions, Tigers and Bears. Well, Bears mostly. There are lots of things that can happen if you're not careful and you don't want to get caught in a Michael Scott situation by tying your pant leg to your head cause you don't know any better. This Survival Kit by Adventure Medical Kits includes a knife, collapsible 1-liter water bag and water purification tablets – and all of it fits into a waterproof pouch that goes right in your front pocket. $80, Adventure Medical Kits, adventuremedicalkits.com.
For more awesome camping gear pick up the current issue of Maxim on newsstands now!

I am off on a trip to Åland tomorrow. It will be the first time that I visit Mariehamn since I was 5 or so.

I am going to wear my new cardigan from House of Dagmar, see below, and a pair of trousers from Day Birger et Mikkelsen.

Is this for real? We know there are plenty of men out there that simply view their apartment as an afterthought — just a place to sleep and shower. But what we didn't know, was that there is a design firm that caters specifically to this type of fella.
Sexy Bachelor Pad is a full service design firm that works with bachelors in the NYC Metropolitan area. They get in and out and try to make the design process as painless as possible for their clients.
Their website is a bit risque; alluding to the only reason to have a sexy bachelor pad is to make your overnight guests feel a bit more comfortable and want to stay longer. While that may be true, we don't believe that's the only reason to spruce up your space a bit!

Why in the world would I hire an interior designer - particularly one with such a narrow focus - who didn't provide any examples of their work outside of "testimonials?"
What the heck are those repeating circles in the top right corner of the first picture? I have visions of someone making horrible wall art out of candy colored condoms...
agreed. it's silly.
the circles are the bottoms of wine bottles....
i don't know... there must be a million interior designers in new york city (or any major city) and 99% of them are catering to women either explicitly or implicitly. why not at least try to carve out an interesting niche? i think it's a good idea. and it has already worked on one level: AT is featuring them right here, garnering lots of attention than the average Joe Queen Interior Design firm ever would. as a guy who has pondered hiring an interior designer, this would catch my eye. but of course a portfolio is a must.
Concept: decent. Marketing: dumb.
This seems like a joke...or some guerilla marketing ploy a la Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Did anyone else see the photo on the home page with "repurposed" metal letters spelling out the f word on some grass?! Bizarre.
There should be samples of work, I have them on my site. I can't imagine ever contacting a design service that didn't give me any sense of what their worked looked like. Besides, I think as a single NYC girl, I could better answer what would make me stay a few hours longer--clean sheets and towels, real food in the fridge, a comfy sofa.
i love the concept and the confident and bold attitude of this company!
not to mention the spaces are fantastic. i spent some time time navigating through the sight and and saw eight full pages of incredibly designed apartments. also, i google searched kimberlee paige hanson and she is all over the industry for over 20 years.
kudos, i wish i had thought of it!!

Diploma Information
Content, Dimensions, Material • Distribution (Mailing) • Problems • Reorders/Replacement • Degree Verification • Multiple Majors/Degrees • Contact Information
Content, Dimensions and Material
Name Printed on Diploma
The full legal name of the graduate, as it is on record at the College of Charleston, will be printed on the diploma. The name will be truncated (i.e., middle initial rather than spelled out) in most places on MyCharleston. However, after submitting their application, a student may check the name on record that will be printed on their diploma by going to the "View Application to Graduate" link in MyCharleston (Academic Services tab>Student folder>Student Records folder>View Application to Graduate).
When a student applies to graduate online via MyCharleston (before deadline), they will be shown on the application exactly how their name will be printed on the diploma. If the name shown on that screen is not correct or needs to be changed (i.e., due to change in legal name, missing middle name or suffix, or other error) the student must contact the Office of the Registrar for additional assistance, but may go ahead and submit their application. In most cases, an official Name/ID update form will be required. If the Office of the Registrar has already ordered the diploma and a change is requested, the graduate will need to request the name change, and then order a replacement diploma, paying any current fees required.
Seal and Ribbon
Included in the mailing tube with a student's diploma will be a satin ribbon and the gold foil seal of the College of Charleston. Also included is a document detailing how these items should be placed on the diploma. If any item is missing, students may contact the Office of the Registrar for replacement.
Majors and Honors
Major(s) and Latin honors (if applicable) are listed on the diploma (BA/BS/BPS). PLEASE NOTE: AB (Latin) diplomas will not have the major listed. Minors and concentrations are not printed on the diploma, but are printed on the transcript. Information regarding earning more than one degree is available online: Second Bachelor's Degree Policy and in the Undergraduate Catalogs beginning with the 2008-09 Catalog.
College of Charleston undergraduate diplomas are among the largest in the country at 20" long by 16" wide. These diplomas are made of archival quality parchment paper – not sheepskin.
Diplomas are signed** by the Chair of the Board of Trustees, the President, the Provost, and also by the current school deans and department chairs.
**Facsimile signatures printed on each diploma.
Diploma Images
Distribution (Mailing)
Diplomas will be mailed to the diploma mailing address listed on the Graduation Application 6 to 8 weeks following degree conferral. Contact the Office of the Registrar at email@example.com if you have questions about when diplomas are mailed.
Students should make sure that their account is current and that their Diploma Mailing Address (as listed on your Graduation Application) is correct before leaving the College to avoid delays in receiving their diploma. Diplomas will not be ordered or mailed to graduates who have outstanding financial holds. A small past due amount can result in a significant delay in receipt of your diploma. Please check your eBill and contact the Treasurer's Office if you have questions about financial holds on your record.
Mailing Information
Students specify their Diploma Mailing Address when they apply to graduate. This address should be an address where the graduate can receive mail up to 12 weeks after graduation. Students are advised to check their Diploma Mailing Address on MyCharleston before leaving the College to ensure accuracy. Students may review the address by signing on to their MyCharleston account and following this path: Academic Services, Banner Self-Service, Student, Student Records, View Application to Graduate. If the address needs to be changed, please use one of the following methods:
- Submit a Graduation Update form to the Office of the Registrar (must be signed by the graduate)
- E-mail email@example.com (for security purposes, e-mailed address updates will only be accepted from students' official college-issued email accounts (i.e. email@example.com)
All diplomas, including those mailed to addresses outside the U.S., are mailed in sealed cardboard tubes via the U.S. Postal Service. Included in the tube is the diploma, a satin ribbon, the gold foil seal of the College of Charleston and a letter with instructions for ribbon and seal placement.
Problems (i.e. diploma not received or damaged diploma)
Diploma Not Received (Account Balance)
Diplomas will not be released to graduates who have an account balance with the College. Graduates should direct questions about late fees, payment options and account balances to the Treasurer's Office. Diploma or graduation fee questions may be directed to the Graduation Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar.
Diplomas will be ordered and released once the account is paid in full. Diplomas will be mailed to the Diploma Mailing Address on file. It is the graduate's responsibility to contact the Office of the Registrar concerning their diploma after payment is made and to make any needed updates to the Diploma Mailing Address.
Diploma Not Received (Wrong Address)
If a diploma is returned to sender, the Office of the Registrar will remail it once an updated Diploma Mailing Address is on file for the graduate. If there is a forwarding address on the return, the Office of the Registrar will mail it to that address. See the Distribution section above for information about updating a Diploma Mailing Address.
If a diploma is returned with no forwarding address, the Graduation Officer will make every effort to get the diploma to the graduate. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the graduate to contact the Office of the Registrar with needed information for remailing.
If the diploma is NOT returned to sender, and the graduate did not receive the diploma and did not update the address or have his/her mail properly forwarded with the post office, he/she may order a Replacement Diploma. The current fee for one diploma is $8.00. This fee is subject to change without notice. Payment (checks only) must be submitted along with a Diploma Replacement form. If payment using your MyCharleston account or by check is not possible, please contact the Treasurer's Office for payment options.
If the Diploma Mailing Address on file is correct, but the diploma is not received within 6 weeks of mailing, students should first contact their local post office. If this is not successful, students may contact the Graduation Coordinator for assistance.
Diploma Damaged or Misprinted
If the diploma is damaged in the mail or printed incorrectly (i.e. information printed on diploma does not match the current student record), the graduate may return the diploma to the Office of the Registrar for replacement at no charge. The graduate should contact the Office of the Registrar about reordering a diploma at no cost.
If the diploma is damaged by the student, by a framer, or the student wishes to change how it was printed (i.e. student wishes a different name on diploma, but did not make this change with the Office of the Registrar prior to graduation), a Diploma Replacement form may be submitted. The current fee for one diploma is $8.00. This fee is subject to change without notice. Payment (checks only) must be submitted along with the form. If payment using your MyCharleston eBill acount or by check is not possible, please contact the Treasurer's Office for payment options. In addition, a Name or ID update form will need to be submitted for name changes prior to re-ordering the diploma. Please allow four to eight weeks for processing.
Alumni (undergraduates) may order another copy of their diploma by completing and submitting a Diploma Replacement form. Master's candidates should contact the Graduate School office. Diplomas are printed on current stock and may differ from the original. Please allow four to eight weeks for standard processing or contact our office for faster options (extra fees will apply).
The current fee for one diploma is $8.00. This fee is subject to change without notice. Payment (checks only) must be submitted along with the Diploma Replacement form. If payment by check is not possible, please contact the Treasurer's Office for payment options.
Degree Verification
Employers, consulates and other entities may order a Degree Verification from the National Student Clearinghouse. If problems are encountered or a diploma notarization is needed, please contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance.
Multiple Majors or Degrees
Diplomas are ordered by degree: Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BS), Bachelor of Professional Studies (BPS), or Artium Baccalaureatus (AB). Students will receive one diploma per degree*** earned. If a student completes two (or more) majors on the same degree in the same term, all majors will be included on one diploma (note: majors are not listed on the AB degree). There are no exceptions to this rule. Degrees earned for each major are listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. Minors, concentrations, emphases, etc., are included on the transcript, but are not listed on the diploma.
***Beginning with the 2008/09 catalog: Additional diplomas will not be ordered for students completing a second major in a different term from the first; the second major will be noted on the transcript but a second diploma will not be ordered. Students graduating under the 2008/09 catalog who choose to complete the requirements for two degrees, but have less than 153 earned hours, will receive one diploma. Please see the Second Bachelor's Degree Policy or consult the 2008/09 or later Undergraduate Catalog for more information on earning more than one degree.
Contact the Office of the Registrar to discuss any unusual circumstances regarding diplomas for multiple majors/degrees.

Rawhide meets One Man And His Dog in this contemplative documentary depicting the travails of a family of sheepherders driving their vast, woolly sea of livestock over the scrubland and mountains of Montana.
Unadorned by narrative or score, it's an unsentimental portrayal of a fading way of life and the peaceful creatures under its charge.
Some may find its unflinching depiction of agricultural practices eye-opening.
With its slow tracking shots, complete disregard for edited narrative and endless baaing and whistling, it'll either bore you to tears or hypnotise you with its weird Herzogian beauty.

Winehouse Album Sales Soar Following Death
According to Jewish religion the singer should be buried as soon as possible
Amy Winehouse could end the week topping the charts, with sales of her best-selling album, Back To Black, surging after her premature death.
The 27-year-old's highly acclaimed second album has re-entered the British charts almost half a decade after its release.
The LP, which was produced by Mark Ronson, rose to number 59 in the few hours between the singer's death and the sales being counted, the Official Charts Company said.
Fans flocked to buy the singles from the 2006 album, and the tracks Back To Black and Rehab re-entered the singles chart at number 81 and number 181, respectively.
Purchases of Winehouse albums increased 37-fold between Friday and Saturday, while track sales were up by a multiple of 23.
And sales of the soul star's music are expected to soar higher in the coming week.
Official Charts Company director Martin Talbot said: "Already the popularity of Amy's music with the British public is being demonstrated, with sales of her albums rocketing by 37 times over the past 24 hours, according to Official Charts Company data.
"While Amy has already had an impact on the Official Charts, we would expect an even bigger impact to roll through over the coming days.
"Such a demonstration of her popularity is the best tribute the British public can pay to this extraordinary British talent."
Meanwhile, as her old singles and Back To Black album rockets up the charts once more, speculation is growing over whether or not Winehouse's management company will release previously unheard music.
The singer was found dead in her £2.5m home in Camden Square on Saturday and police say her death is "unexplained". A post-mortem is expected to be carried out later.
She had recently installed a gym and recording studio and it has been reported that in the past few months before her death, Winehouse had recorded a lot of new material.
Sky sources suggest that there could be many albums' worth of previously unheard music, which could be released by Winehouse's management company.

How to Brighten Up My First Kitchen?
Good Questions
Q: I just moved into my first real apartment, it's a rental. I plan on being here for a while and I need some tips on sprucing up the kitchen. The colors I was thinking of going with were red and yellow (my pots and pans are red and my plates and silverwear are yellow). Any ideas on inexpensive ways to brighten up and spruce up my kitchen? I'd love a red backsplash but I can't paint.

If your backsplash is that weird plastic stuff, you can easily cover it with contact paper in your color choice. It'll come off with a little effort later. It's not bad as it is, though. in such a small space, red and yellow might come out seeming kind of fast food-ey if you're not careful.
I would recommend a nice rug for in front of your stove and your sink, and colored accessories.
Since you like red I would go for it. Find a tomato red and use a semi gloss. Yellow is too much because there is too much yellow already in the cabinets.
But any color paint in the world is not going to do anything until you change the lighting. Either change the bulbs, get a dimmer or change the overhead lighting all together. A small lamp on the counter would help.
The problem is that I can't paint! And there's no backspash at all-it's just the ugly colored wall. Sorry I wasn't that specific in the initial email.
You can apply cotton fabric to the wall using starch. When you leave, it peels right off. Search this site; the technique has been discussed several times. I agree about the lighting. Is there room for a floor lamp? I'd go with red or yellow, but not a balanced portion of both. It can start looking fast-foodish. You could also take a cue from Julia Child and hang art on your cabinet doors. Use 3M picture hanging strips and they'll leave no trace. Good luck.
I strongly suggest adding a third color (aqua or apple green, maybe) to keep your kitchen from looking like a McDonald's! If you can't paint, think about functional accessories. Start by buying some tea towels or a rug that incorporates your three colors. Maybe find a way to hang colorful trays or serving plates against the backsplash, so they don't take up valuable cabinet real estate.
Or here's an idea: pick one pot/pan that you use often, like your favorite frying pan. Center it on a big-enough piece of pegboard, trace around it, and paint the silhouette yellow and the background aqua. Hang the pegboard on the wall opposite your fridge, put the frying pan on it, and voila! Color plus function. You could even frame the pegboard if you want to go classy, or do multiples for greater impact.
If you cut masonite (or have the home improvement store cut it) to fit between your upper and lower cabinets, you could paint it, decoupage it....If you had a firmer board, like cement board or hardibacker, you could do a mosaic. To adhere them to the wall temporarily, you could do a combination of velcro and/or poster putty and/or sneakily hidden, tiny nails. Instead of all that, you might find some fun placemats to stick to the wall.
I'm not sure what masonite is but do you think it's something that would stay up with a lot of heavy duty 3M tape?
Masonite is relatively light weight (and inexpensive). If you've seen inexpensive drawers with flimsy bottoms, the manufacturer probably used masonite. Check it out at stores like Home Depot and Lowe's. As far as looking like a fast-food restaurant goes, some people like that look. Experiment. It's O.K. to miss the mark the first few times. It's only fair for the rest of us!
I really like the idea of some sort of pot rack or shelf with your colorful pots displayed on the wall to the right. A colorful rug by the sink and maybe one of those rail systems from ikea on the wall by the sink with utensils, a pair of red or yellow mitts and that might be enough to start without going overboard. Good luck and enjoy your first apartment!
Masonite can get really heavy and unwieldy when you've got a long section of it, even if it does come as shallow as 1/8". Tape's not going to hold it. You'd need to wedge it in there, instead. Use cardboard from the moving boxes to make a pattern, and have your local hardware store cut to that.
I'd go with the masonite if you're planning on being here for awhile, just remember that masonite is a dark material, so you'll need to prime it nicely before you paint. These pictures make it look brighter, but most masonite I've ever bought is a dark brown, about the darkness of walnut, not oak: http://www.congdonlumber.com/plywood/images/masonite.jpg
For cheap-but-works decoration on cabinets, I take favorite pictures from last year's calendar, trim, and put on each cabinet door. (I also tend to get calendars that are taller more than wide, which works for cabinet doors.) Basically you're treating the cabinet's door as the "frame" around the picture. Add a backing sheet of white behind the pictures (which you can put up with tape), cut to size of the door less, say, 2" all the way around: now you have mat frame and picture in center. Well, enough to fool the eye from across the room at least!
I loved this idea: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/sf/kitchen/kitchen-inspiration-diy-rentalfriendly-backsplash-081036
That's the perfect solution, IMO.....from lisao.
The white wall is begging for some artwork. Personally, I used funky plastic plates from Target, with picture hangers super glued on the back. Cheap easy way to get some kitchen-themed color into the room.
Farmhousemoderne's idea about pictures on the cabinets is great! I might try that next!
I agree with a lot of what's been said here:
a pot rack and some art on the wall on the right and some different lighting would really help, and neither would break what sounds like a pretty strict renters agreement. You can check out Target or Jo-Ann Fabrics for something I saw last week to put on your cabinet: vinyl wall covers that come in black board material in lots of colors. You can cut and shape them to any size you want to cover your cabinets, and not only would it add some needed pop but your friends can leave notes to you with chalk (and you can keep track of your grocery list!) Last but not least, get yourself a plant that doesn't need a lot of light or attention. Greek Oregano grows fast and (bonus) can be used in a lot of dishes.
I always take "you can't paint" to mean "when you move out, it needs to look like you didn't paint." I say if you're going to be living somewhere for a year or more, it's worth making it someplace worth living. Painting and repainting is a small investment for a great return, in my opinion.
Although some commenters reject the red and yellow theme, I understand that it's a given--with your pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. I think it sounds lovely and cheery! I also really like the ideas mentioned of the painted pegboard, Ikea Fastbo wall panels for the backsplash, colored cabinet pulls, the Ikea rail system with bright accessories, and large art on the blank wall. First decide on what kind of look you want, and that might help with the additional third color choice. For instance, for the Provencal look (roosters and colorful prints from Williams-Sonoma or any art prints from this region), you might choose blue. For a retro or mod look, choose aqua or robin's egg blue (Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters might have cool accessories). For a botanical look, you might choose a leaf green (Ikea has a large photo on canvas of red poppies--PJÄTTERYD, wall decals of red poppies--SLÄTTHULT--that might work on the cabinets, and TRILLING small posters of tulips, coneflowers, and sunflowers--perhaps for the cabinet faces or wall). For a fruit bowl look, you might choose apple green. Whatever you do, remove all the small clutter from the counter, fridge, and oven door--and keep off--and use large, bright accessories: dishtowels, pot holders, teakettle or large pot, large bowl of fruit and/or large vase of flowers, or some of your large plates. Target and World Market might have accessories for you, too. If you were to remove your purse, umbrella, fridge list, and stuff on the toaster oven, and then put a bright dishtowel on the oven door, a bright rug on the floor, a large red pot and lid on the stove/a bowl of colorful fruit/a vase of yellow or red flowers/large bright ceramic canisters--choose two, red cabinet pulls, and a large colorful poster on the blank wall---you could be done. Enjoy your new place!
Hmm. To go in a different direction, I'd lose the cupboard doors (provided that the shelving underneath is in good shape, the doors are removable, and you can put them back on when you move). Instead of having paint in my kitchen, I've put up hooks for my brightly coloured oven mitts and tea towels. It gives some colour without lots of paint.
A friend of mine also framed a long piece of pretty fabric (in a very minimal frame) and put that up instead of a backsplash... maybe that would work? You could just putty over the hole when you move.
I was actually able to paint my kitchen, but before I did so - everything was just white, white, white. And I love color. So here's some things I did before painting my kitchen orange:
- I have kitchen towels in every color. Bright red, yellow, blue, etc.
- Inspired by the beach glass kitchen knobs posted on apttherapy - I bought brightly colored square knobs in red, orange, blue, green and white to replace the white knobs I have now. I can always put those back on when I'm done. I got mine from myknobs.com - but Anthropologie has some great kitchen and bedroom knobs and pulls right now.
- I have some space above my cabinets so I've been starting a collection of water pitchers and jugs in cool colors and patterns.
I live in a rental, too. I ended up applying a woodgrain contact paper I read about on Apartment Therapy (Design Your Wall . com) to the surface of the cabinets. I also bought new pulls for the cabinet. Both together totalled under $100 and gives the kitchen a completely new look. When I move out I will remove the contact paper and put the original pulls back on.
When I mentioned placemats-as-backsplash, this was the site I had in mind: http://casapinka.typepad.com/casapinka/2009/03/target-placemats-that-i-had-and-love-stuck-to-the-oh-so-gray-read-depressing-backsplash-removable---before-photo-yo.html
I bought a few sheets of beautiful scrapbooking paper and a package of the plastic sheets you put scrapbooking pages in. I put the individual sheets into the plastic holders and then put 3M adhesive tape on the backs of the holders, which was enough to hold them to the wall. For less than $10, I made an arrangement that I think looks pretty cool and is extremely temporary. It's basically like having 12"x12" shiny 'tiles' on your wall. If you find a colored or patterned contact paper that you like, those are good too.
...and if they get food/grease/etc on them, you can just wipe them down or switch out the plastic holders. Easy cleanup!

The Altis Belem Hotel & Spa is a 50-room boutique in Belem, a residential neighborhood on the Tagus River. Belem is slightly removed from the city center, but has several of its own attractions, as well as gorgeous marina views and lovely restaurants lining the river. The hotel's rooms are sexy and spacious, with white decor accented by green rugs and unusual wall murals. Marble bathrooms are open -- with little privacy -- and some have inviting soaking tubs. Some rooms also have balconies with marina views and private whirlpools. Despite its small size, this hotel has many amenities, including a spa, a big indoor pool, a fitness center, and a Michelin-rated restaurant. Guests that want to be within walking distance of more attractions might consider the Altis Avenida, also a boutique hotel, with modern rooms in the city center.
Housed in a 19th century palace in a quiet, upscale neighborhood, the Olissippo Lapa Palace is one of the most iconic luxury hotels in Lisbon. It is known among well-heeled couples and business travelers for its excellent service, upscale amenities, and elegant rooms with modern conveniences. It boasts a wonderful spa, a lovely outdoor pool, fine and casual dining options (all pretty pricey), and classic decor throughout. But there's a pesky fee for Wi-Fi, and the location is a little secluded, with only tram 25 and a couple of buses running nearby.
The 369-room Sheraton Lisboa is an upscale chain hotel just outside the city center, near two metro lines and the airport bus stop. Elegant rooms are fairly spacious and modern, with stylish furnishings, Bang & Olufsen flat-screen TVs, and signature mattresses. Sleek bathrooms have glass walls, and while they do have blinds, guests complain about lack of privacy. The property boasts wonderful dining options (both casual and formal), stunning city views, a full-service business center, and an upscale spa. But guests may feel nickel-and-dimed due to pesky fees for everything from Wi-Fi to pool access.
The NH Campo is a mid-range hotel located conveniently close to the airport -- but not much else. Guests enter the hotel through the bright lobby, which, though simple, is an attractive space with red furniture and sepia-toned artwork. The lobby bar has a similar, contemporary vibe, but the room decor is less impressive. Though rooms are large -- and most feature sizable flat-screen TVs -- the decor scheme of whites and light woods is bland. Bathrooms are similarly basic. Families and groups on a budget will appreciate the wallet-friendly family rooms, and a small fitness center and a restaurant and bar are additional perks. But a fee for Wi-Fi and the hotel's distance from the city center can detract from its value for those in Lisbon on leisure.
Altis Suites is located right next to the Altis Hotel, and its 42 suites are a good option for families or travelers on extended stays. These mid-range suites are spacious, but dated, with coral-colored bathrooms and furniture that's showing light wear and tear. However, all suites have kitchenettes -- with stovetops, microwaves, and mini-fridges -- living rooms, and flat-screen TVs. Guests staying in the suites have access to the amenities of the Altis Hotel next door including the health club and restaurant. There is 24-hour room service, and free airport shuttle service can be arranged in advance.
Located right by the former Expo site and a short drive from the airport, the Tivoli Oriente is a great pick for business travelers, or any travelers with early flights. While it is far from tourist attractions, it's next door to the Gare do Oriente, a major transportation hub with access to the metro, trains, buses and taxis, providing easy access to the city center. All but the Classic Rooms have been renovated, and feature contemporary decor with bright pops of color, clean, red-lacquered bathrooms, and modern amenities, such as iHome docks, Nespresso machines, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Business-oriented conveniences include a business center, meeting rooms, and a solid fitness center. There's a restaurant and a bar on-site, but numerous other restaurants, as well as shops and a casino, are within walking distance.
The 19-room Hotel da Estrela is a stylish, quirky boutique in a quiet residential area a little out of the way of major attractions. The building was once a school, and the fun decor reflects that history (think: chalkboards, desks and shelves with school material). Rooms are spacious, bright and modern, with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and plush beds, plus upscale bathrooms with deep Japanese-style tubs and Castelbel toiletries. There's a business center in the lounge, an honesty bar, and a pleasant garden, but the highlight here is the wonderful on-site cantina, in which patrons rate the food made by student cooks and pay what they feel is a fair price. But Wi-Fi is only free in the common areas (there's free wired Internet in the rooms), and its location is not the most convenient for exploring the city on foot.
The 306-room is an attractive, upscale hotel in a great location just off of Avenida da Liberdade's bustling sidewalks. The hotel lacks a spa, but has all of the other amenities of a luxury property -- a pool, a fitness center, and two gourmet restaurants. The lobby makes a welcoming and luxurious first impression: It's surrounded by marble columns on all sides and features colorful velvet furniture and various sculptures. Rooms are stylish and contemporary, with plush beds, velvet accent chairs, and floor-to-ceiling photos of the city -- as well as flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and coffeemakers. Another great highlight are the hotel's views -- guests can enjoy sweeping views of the city, especially from the terrace bar and restaurant. It will cost you a pretty penny, but the Tivoli Lisboa is a great option for both location and style in Lisbon.
This 40-room hotel housed in an 18th-century building on bustling Avenida da Liberdade mixes modern decor with restored historic touches. (Most of the ironwork is original, as is the wooden front door.) The predominant look is sleek and contemporary. While the room decor isn't quite luxurious, it's certainly attractive, with warm chocolate and beige tones, pops of pattern, wood floors, and sepia-toned photographs. The reading lights attached to the headboards are a convenient detail. Many rooms have Juliette balconies looking out onto the tree-lined street, reminding guests of the hotel's fabulous location; numerous major sights -- as well as popular neighborhoods -- are within walking distance.
Altis Prime is an all-suites hotel with a simple, modern look. Opened in 2010, this 78-suite property is ideal for families or couples looking for more space. The streamlined decor features contemporary furniture, wooden accents, and a palette of cool, soothing creams and grays. Rooms have funky light fixtures, attractive throw pillows, and big flat-screen TVs. Extra conveniences include the small kitchenettes and spacious living rooms. The exterior rooms get great natural light, but some street noise, whereas interior rooms overlooking a courtyard are a little darker, but also quieter. One hotel highlight is the rooftop deck complete with Jacuzzi. The location is convenient, within walking distance to numerous sights including Avenida da Liberdade, Lisbon's main artery lined by shops. Though Altis Prime doesn't have many on-site amenities -- no spa, pool, or fitness center -- guests have access to amenities at other Altis properties. There is a cozy cafe and room service is available 24 hours a day.

Studying the first quarter of the Dallas Stars' schedule with its seemingly imposing 13 road games and just seven starts at the cozy confines of American Airlines Center, the team's fans were fearful that the club's quest to compete for its first playoff start would be doomed before it could gain some momentum.
But this isn't your older brother or sister's Dallas Stars. Coach Lindy Ruff's squad skated into November like a team on a mission to separate itself from its predecessors that never quite learned how to win when it counted. Judging by their play and results, this is a much more talented and mentally tough Dallas sextet, as a pair of three-game road sweeps to the east and to the west will strongly attest.
In recovering from an unimpressive 3-5 start out of the gate, Dallas has shown a propensity to outwork opponents and win the puck possession "game within the game". The 11-7-2 Stars compiled an 8-2-2 mark during their recent 12-game stretch, elevating themselves to 5th in the Central Division and 4th in the Western Conference wild card race while preparing to play four of their next five games at home.
One of the keys to their recent success has been the stellar netminding of Kari Lehtonen, who stopped 42 of 43 shots in a gritty 2-1 victory Nov. 17 over the Vancouver Canucks, their sixth straight road triumph that completed a stellar 3-0 Western Canadian swing which included wins in Edmonton and Calgary.
"Thank God we had him," Stars captain Jamie Benn said of the Finnish workhorse, who is 8-2-2 in 12 consecutive starts since returning from an early season lower body injury. "We've seen it a lot this year. We may not start the way we want or finish the way we want, but he's back there to back us up for 60 minutes."
"On given nights, your goalie has to be big, and (Kari) was big for us tonight," said Coach Ruff after Lehtonen improved to 10-3-2 overall while making goals by forwards Erik Cole and Valeri Nichushkin stand up. "You are not going to dominate every period, and if your goaltender can get you through some tough (times), you are going to win a lot of games."
Even when they lose, the Stars are playing well, and they tend to rebound well following a setback. Following a Nov. 9 home loss to Chicago, 5-2 in which the Stars played well (they led, 2-1 midway through the 2nd period before the Hawks scored when the puck bounced off Cole's skate and into the net), Dallas whitewashed host Edmonton, 3-0 behind 22 saves by Lehtonen. Forward Rich Peverley's first period marker stood as the game winner, and empty netters by Tyler Seguin and Antoine Roussel added the icing.
The following evening, November 14, the Stars turned the tables on their recent struggles during the second half of back-to-back games. They'd lost their last three such matches in Calgary by a combined score of 18-10 dating to January 2011, and had not won in regulation in Calgary since 2009-2010.
Seguin netted a career-best four goals and added a helper, and Benn added a career-high six points (five assists and a goal) in a 7-3 triumph in Calgary. After facing just seven shots in the game's second half in Edmonton, Lehtonen was fresh enough to return and post the victory with 25 saves.
"We're building confidence as a group starting with (that) last road trip," said Benn. "We went into some tough buildings in Boston and Detroit, and just continued to play well (on this trip). It's so important that we're finding ways to win. Some (games) aren't pretty, but we're getting the job done."
Seguin, acquired from Boston with Peverley for goal sniper Loui Eriksson this past summer, relishes the opportunity to skate on a line with a superb playmaker such as Benn. "We've been bonding together — we're still pretty new to each other, but the chemistry is coming along," Seguin said. "It's tough to score in this league, but sometimes you get the bounces."
The Stars made good use of overtime hockey in their early-November three-game swing through the Northeast U.S., posting overtime and shootout wins in Ottawa, Boston and Detroit. Their 4-3 win at Ottawa on Nov. 3 occurred when Benn netted the only shootout goal after the Sens' Bobby Ryan tied the score with :10 remaining in regulation.
In Boston two nights later, Lehtonen withstood an early game 15-shot Bruin onslaught, and checking line center Vernon Fiddler lit the lamp on a penalty shot with less than three minutes remaining in regulation. Former Bruins Peverley and Seguin tormented their former club by netting the Stars' only shootout goals for a 3-2 win.
Forty eight hours later in the Motor City, Dallas showed its mettle by recovering from an early 2-0 deficit. Then, after forward Cody Eakin forced extra time with a goal in the final two minutes or regulation, Peverley struck again with :19 left in the overtime session for another 4-3 triumph.
The 2013-2014 Stars' longest standing line of Ray Whitney, Eakin and Alex Chiasson ended its run when Whitney was sidelined by an undisclosed injury that placed him on the Injured Reserved list prior to the Western Canadian swing. The second line had been bolstered by Eakin's recent scoring touch, and Chiasson's ability to remain among the league's leading rookie scorers. Chiasson, in particular, has been playing alongside Whitney since his goal-filled NHL debut late last season.
Coach Ruff addressed the recent The Sporting News report that Fiddler had approached the Stars a few weeks ago with a trade request if his ice time was going to decrease. "I've had conversations with Vern on where he's at and where he was at last year," Ruff said. "Those conversations are really between the coach and the player. It wouldn't be fair for me to even address the rumors. But I can tell you we've had conversations on where I see his role and where it's going to end up and try to end up. Those have been real good conversations with Vern. He's been very professional. You have ups and downs, and he's a guy that just wants to play. And you want that. You want a guy to come bang on your door and say, 'Come on, I want to play more.'"
The Stars added some forward depth when they acquired Dustin Jeffrey off waivers from Pittsburgh before the Vancouver game. The 6-1, 205-pound Jeffrey shoots left and can play center and wing. The versatile, two-way forward has played ten games with the Penguins this season, registering one assist. The 25-year-old Jeffrey, a sixth-round pick of Pittsburgh in 2007, has played 100 NHL games, scoring 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists). In 10 games with the Pens this season, he has registered one assist. "Dustin is a player our scouts have liked over the last couple years," said Stars General Manager Jim Nill. "He's a young player that we think has some room to develop even more. We just think he has a chance to add some depth to our organization. You can never have enough depth."
