Taste It!
August 11, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Menahem Golan, the B-Movie auteur, is dead at eighty-five, the Times reports. In the course of his prolific career, Golan—who directed more than forty films and produced more than two hundred—worked with Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson, and Vanessa Redgrave; though he had a hand in several distinguished productions, he and his cohort trafficked in unabashedly debased material. The Golan milieu is one of superabundant corn-starch blood and suspenseful synthesizer sound tracks. As the Times has it, they "churned out movies about ninjas, cyborgs, chain saws, and the likes of Teenage Bonnie and Klepto Clyde (1993)."
A bit of YouTube spelunking has led me to The Apple, a 1980 musical written, directed, and produced by Golan—perhaps one of the most gloriously catastrophic concepts ever committed to celluloid.
"A young couple enters the world of the music industry, but also the world of drugs," the IMDB description reads, as if those worlds have ever been separate—and to that synopsis, allow me to add that the movie takes place in a dystopian future that's very, very, very far away: it's set in 1994. ("Life is nothing but show business / in 1994," one song tells us, helpfully.)
In The Apple, Boogaloo International Music (BIM) controls the world—in the movie's one prescient plot point, the citizenry is addicted to "the Worldvision Song Contest," a talent show almost identical to American Idol or Eurovision. Any similarities to the actual future end there. BIM, headed by the nefarious Mr. Boogaloo, judges the success of its performers by counting the number of heartbeats in the crowd; when a sweet young couple threatens to overtake BIM's pre-selected stars in the heartbeat rankings, Boogaloo throws the contest, invites the innocent couple to his swanky corporate HQ, and has his henchman drug the young woman. Things get progressively worse from there.
Above is a clip of the musical's title track, "The Apple," in which the entire cast is transported to Hell and the classic forbidden fruit is dangled before our unsuspecting heroes. "Juju Apple / Voodoo Apple," sings a mildly hunky shirtless guy. "Take a little bite / Spend a splendid night / In our garden of delights." 1994, man—it was wild!
If Menahem Golan is, as I write, in transit to some kind of afterlife, I hope it's infinitely more pleasant than the one depicted in The Apple.
Elizabethan Warts and All, and Other News
July 2, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- A report by British dermatologists makes the audacious claim that Shakespeare is responsible for Western society's obsession with clear skin. "Shakespeare's works have survived the intervening centuries; has his success led to the perpetuation of Elizabethan negativity toward skin disease?" Apparently, too many of his plays feature insults about skin disease—poxes, boils, carbuncles, moles, blots, blemishes, plagues—an excess of abscesses, a sebaceous surfeit.
- "One of the most intriguing questions I get from readers of my movie reviews is: 'But did you like the film?' … The binary scale of good and bad, like and dislike, is essentially pointless. Movies are complex experiences—even those that are simplistic or clumsily made are rich in substance—and sometimes criticism is like the science of medicine, with advances coming from diagnoses of some dread disease that you wouldn't want to have."
- A linguist's cri de coeur: death to Whorfianism! "What Whorfianism claims, in its strongest form, is that our thoughts are limited and shaped by the specific words and grammar we use"—but linguists have found only "fairly negligible differences … between language speakers."
- These hand-painted posters from Russian cinemas make movies like Shrek 2 and 50 First Dates look like surrealist masterworks.
- You can live in the house from Twin Peaks. (Leland Palmer not included. Or is he?)
Heroes of the Civil Service: An Interview with Antonin Baudry
April 2, 2014 | by Susannah Hunnewell
In 2010, a graphic novel, Quai D'Orsay, was published in France under a pseudonym, causing a quiet sensation. Set in, of all places, the Foreign Ministry, Quai D'Orsay starred a young speechwriter frantically learning on the job—the novel featured recognizable public figures, including the foreign minister, Dominique de Villepin, who famously said non to the war in Iraq.
In France, graphic novels, or comic books (bandes dessinées), are a revered venue for pointed satire. The bestseller's author, it turned out, was a wunderkind former staffer for Villepin named Antonin Baudry. A man of varied passions—board games, Metallica, Greek philosophy—Baudry is currently the French Cultural Counselor for the U.S. Last fall, he adapted the graphic novel for the big screen. The resulting film, The Minister, became an instant hit in France, earning the rookie screenwriter a nomination for a César, the French Oscar. The Minister is now showing (under the title The French Minister) at select theaters in the U.S., including the IFC Center, in New York; the graphic novel is available in English under the title Weapons of Mass Diplomacy.
Sitting in his cavernous office in the French embassy, overlooking Central Park, the informal diplomat says he would love to try another graphic novel "on globalism, set in the Middle Ages."
Both in the graphic novel and the movie, you make it seem as if you hadn't the slightest qualification to write speeches for the foreign minister. Is that true?
Yes. I didn't have the background that all the people there had at all. I had never met a politician before. I had never met a diplomat. What happened was that Dominique de Villepin was looking for young people from different universes to write for him. He heard through a mutual friend that I had done master's theses in math and literature, and he wanted to meet me. I totally panicked. I said to my friend, Why did you do this to me? I had to buy a suit. The minister received me at the Quai D'Orsay, and it was just like being hypnotized. He explained a lot of things to me and everything seemed clear, and then when I left, I couldn't remember a thing. And there was this time pressure. He said I had to answer within twenty-four hours because we were possibly on the eve of a Third World War. I was twenty-six, and I thought, Why not? I'd done academic writing and I knew I wanted to write novels. I accepted the job because I think many writers have no experience of the world. I once worked for the sanitation department in Berlin, cleaning the streets at five in the morning. I loved it for the same reason—it gave me the chance to observe another universe instead of staying in my room, contemplating myself. Read More »
Spoiler Alert
September 10, 2013 | by Scott Spencer
Here's what happens when Hollywood makes a really bad movie out of your novel. You cringe, you pretend you don't care, you laugh when they play the bad movie's theme song at weddings you attend, and you wait for the whole thing to pass. And when it finally has, when your book has at last outlived the bad memories and associations of the first movie and it is making its leisurely literary way out in the world, without any connection to the bad movie, someone decides to make an even worse movie out of it.
I wrote Endless Love between the years 1975 and 1979, beginning it as my first marriage unraveled. In that stretch of time, I lived on unemployment, house-sitting for semifamous people in their isolated country houses in New England towns too small to have things like post offices. When my unemployment ran out I moved back to New York and worked for a small publishing company owned by a drug addict. I married again and I became a father and I sold my book for what was a small sum in those days and for what today wouldn't buy two courtside tickets to a Knicks game. The marriage was good, the baby was great, and the book succeeded to the point where I had to take to my bed with a mysterious crippling illness. Eventually, it was diagnosed as sciatica, which couldn't even begin to disguise itself as anything other than a nervous system overload. Read More »

"Hooray for Santy Claus!"
December 20, 2012 | by Sadie Stein
You may well know the 1964 camp classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians as one of the worst films ever made, but did you know there's also a novelization? That's right: in 2005, Lou Harry gave us the print version the world needed.

The Scat 4340 billet-steel 3.25-inch stroker crank uses Chevy-size 2.100-inch rod journals and is internally balanced with Mallory heavy metal. Bennett says turbo motors would "rather have stroke than bore" because it "helps flatten the power curve." However, putting more than a 3.250-inch-stroke crank in a 302 block raises durability and oil-control issues on a turbo motor.

Best way to cool your iMac
I've just bought one of these which I figure I can mount onto the back of the iMac case, with the fans drawing air away from it. Hopefully this will help, and at under Ł5, worth a gamble.

NRA vows to defend gun rights after WH meeting
Thursday - 1/10/2013, 4:34pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's largest gun-rights lobby says some participants at its White House meeting seemed more interested in demonizing the Second Amendment than keeping students safe.
The National Rifle Association met with Vice President Joe Biden's school safety study group on Thursday and afterward said the participants spent most their time on proposals to limit gun rights. The NRA says it, quote, "will not allow law-abiding gun owners to be blamed for the acts of criminals and madmen."
The politically powerful group _ under public pressure since December's school shooting in Newtown, Conn., where a gunman massacred 20 children and six women _ says it will now work with Congress to discuss what works in preventing violence and what does not.
The NRA previously proposed armed security in every American school.

Our Resource Speaker – Garry S. Pagaspas, CPA, and our VP-Finance & Coordinator – Jobelle O. Mendoza, CPA has long been into badminton sports. Garry had his first badminton court experience in the later part of 2006, while Jobelle had her first badminton encounter in 2007. Since then, they became badminton buddies crashing some tournaments and queuing in some courts within Metro Manila. They are most frequent players of Planet Badminton – J. Victor St., Makati City, and Powersmash Badminton – Pasong Tamo, Makati, and a seasonal players in other courts within Metro Manila.
Despite their busy schedules in the office, they find time to escape with their badminton rackets, shoes, and outfits at least once a week after office hours to play badminton and burn some fats, drive some work stress, and maintain physical fitness to do the office works. For them, badminton is not just a simple physical sport, but a brain sport. They love finding ways to improve their tandem in court, observing how the great one play so they could improve their personal skills, analyzing the ups and downs of their opponents and finding ways to defeat them, and along the process expanding their circle of badminton buddies. While they are not that good in the badminton court, they are positive that in due time they will achieve their goals to possess notable skill in the sport.
Comes May 26, 2012 is the 2nd Federball Spiel Badminton Tournament sponsored by the Badminton Club of DKS to be held at Powersmash Badminton – Pasong Tamo, Makati City, where they enlisted themselves for the Mixed Doubles – Level A, Womens Doubles – Level A (Jobelle with Anna of DKS), and Men's Doubles – Level A (Garry & Sir Patrick of DKS).

Seniors Stamper, Wilson Leading ALC in Post-Season PlayPosted by mmiller February 27, 2014Senior guards Isaac Wilson and Stuart Stamper have led the Eagles into the KIAC Final Four. On the eve of their semifinal game with Cincinnati Christian, we catch up with them and get their thoughts on the season, the tournament, and their basketball careers at Alice Lloyd.
Eagles Defeat Brescia, 75-71, to Reach KIAC Final FourThe Alice Lloyd Eagles made the long trek to Owensboro, Kentucky on Tuesday, February 25th, to battle the Brescia Bearcats. In this quarterfinal matchup of the KIAC Tournament, ALC was thought to be the underdog. Despite the challenge of having to face a higher seed on their home court, the Eagles were able to rally late in the second half to force overtime and prevailed in the extra period, 75-71.
Eagles Baseball Extends Win Streak Against UPikeThe Alice Lloyd Eagles baseball squad ventured to Pikeville, Kentucky to take on the UPike Bears on Tuesday afternoon. The Eagles won the extra-inning-marathon (13) against Pikeville by a score of 3-2.
Lady Eagles Stumble in Opening Round, Upset 92-70On Tuesday, February 25th, the Alice Lloyd Lady Eagles hosted Midway College in the first round of the KIAC Tournament. ALC was unable to get into any kind of rhythm as the home team was upset, 92-70.
Alice Lloyd to Host KIAC Basketball TournamentAlice Lloyd College is pleased to announce that it will be the host of the 2014 Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (KIAC) Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament. Games in the tournament's Final Four, as well as the Championship games, will be played at the College's Grady Nutt Athletic Center on Friday, February 28th and Saturday, March 1st.
One for the Ages: An Interview With Basketball Great Ariel NickellAlice Lloyd College had the opportunity to speak with ALC senior forward Ariel Nickell, who has quickly become a campus star. Adele Williams caught up with the ALC basketball legend for a fun, in-depth chat just in time for the KIAC tournament.
Eagles Baseball Opens Season With SplitThe Alice Lloyd Eagles traveled to Madisonville, Tennessee on Thursday, February 20th, to battle Hiwassee College and hosted Ohio University Chillicothe on Sunday, February 23rd. Here is a recap of the four games.
Nickell Keeps On Amazing UsAriel Nickell is ALC's Female Athlete of the Week for her performances against Asbury and Brescia. The senior has shown that she will be difficult to replace next season and has more than cemented her place in the Alice Lloyd basketball history books.
Stumbo Raising His Game as Tourney ApproachesCody Stumbo has received this week's Male Athlete of the Week honors. The junior has taken his game to the next level in the last couple of contests for Alice Lloyd.
Eagles Win Final Regular Season Game, 82-67The Alice Lloyd Eagles hosted the Brescia Bearcats on Sunday, February 23rd. The Eagles used a great defensive performance and got scoring from everyone as the home team won in convincing fashion, 82-67.

Flashback: Saturdays were special in 1950s Hull
Posted: March 30, 2013|
Let's go on a journey back in time. Let's get on the bus or trolley and head "up town" (it's never down town if you live in Hull).
It's 1958, hit records of the day include Sheb Wooley's Purple People Eater, Bird Dog by the Everleys and Ricky Nelson's Poor Little Fool and we're trying to look like our pop heroes in new black "drainies", black shirts, white ties and pointed shoes.
Saturday afternoon is a highlight of our week and it's the time for all the trendy kids like us to head to the city centre to eye up the talent (and hope they will be eyeing us up, too) and blow a few bob on cigs and records.
We can't leave home until after noon, though, because Saturday Club's on the Light Programme in the morning and Brian Matthew doesn't play the new No 1 until just before midday.
Hull City Centre is the place on a Saturday and we head first for Sydney Scarborough's record shop (under the City Hall – remember those adverts at the pictures which always made that clear?), then it's on to Gough and Davy's to listen to records we don't intend to buy and which are usually only heard on Radio Luxembourg in the evening when the signal usually fades while the best music is being played.
We pop into Stardisc's place in South Street, which is flogging the same records as the others but is worth a look.
Chances are we'll meet up with some of our mates doing the rounds as well and – if we're lucky – those lasses we've waved to from the school bus on the way home every afternoon.
Trying to look good, we crash the ash with packets of Senior Service (if we're really flush), Park Drive and "Woodies" if we're not.
Normally on a Saturday we'll buy our cigs in packets of 10. In the week we struggle along with "fives" or even one at a time from our local shop if the bloke's in a good mood.
At some point on Saturday the "must" place to go is Hammonds' third floor Picadish with its very Fifties stylish wave ceiling.
If we're lucky we'll grab some of the high stools along the windows which look across to Paragon Station and the bus station which was obviously designed by a sadist who gained some weird pleasure from allowing the winds whip around the waiting passengers who shiver while they wait.
But we're not done yet.
There are other ports of call, not least window gazing in that fine emporium dedicated to American menswear, the Marcus Bishop shop in South Street. We're struck by the over-the-top styles on show – red jackets, white jackets, bootlace ties, crepes and the like.
For trendy types like us the rest of Hull's a bit of a bore, but as a shopping centre with lots of people it's the best we know, for we only get out the place once a year on our holidays in Brid or Scarborough.
Our mums, though, think it's great – and for years they've hauled us as kids round many of the shops which in later years will still be fondly recalled.
Take Gordon Clarke, the school uniform specialist with a long history beginning in uniforms and was a business which had a long history, being started in 1877.
And there's Johnson's, another school outfitters first found in Victioria Square and later in Jameson Street.
We youngsters don't bother much with the shops our dads would visit to buy their suits and the customary flat cap or trilby, such as A Welsh in Jameson street or Stanley Bastow, also found in Jameson Street.
Burton is at the less expensive end of things and let's not forget the Fifty Shilling Tailors – just the place for a smart new look that won't take a full week's pay packet.
So this, then, is Saturday. As 16- year-olds we can't go in the pubs, which stay open until 2pm and shut again at 10pm, those on the outskirts seeing a rush to door just before closing as punters dash in their cars to neighbouring Haltemprice where they can get a pint until 10.30pm.
For us it's on to the bus back home. A quick tea, watch Six Five Special with Don Lang and the Frantic Five with Pete Murray as host or (preferably) the new show Oh Boy with the Vernons Girls (remember the one with the glasses?) and all the big names from both sides of the Atlantic.
Then it's off out to the local youth club with its meagre record collection to idle time away until it picks up at about 9.30pm.
So Saturday comes and goes. And for us kids of the Fifties it really is something special …
Have you got a Fifties memory? Letters please to Stuart Russell, Flashback, Mail News and Media, Blundell's Corner, Beverley Road, Hull HU3 1XS or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

The Oregon Men's Basketball team is playing the role of the tortoise right now. Slow and steady wins the race. Last week they were 17. After a Tuesday night win vs Utah Valley and a win by 18 points on Sunday vs San Francisco the Ducks are now into the Top 15 and ranked 14th. The season so far has been an exciting one with Transfer Joseph Young leading the charge with 20 points vs Utah Valley. Overall the team was not happy with their performance in the win and that was clear in the postgame press conference.
Sunday was a different story. The 100-82 win over the San Francisco Dons was led by Sophomore Damyean Dotson with 17 points. He led six players in double digits for the win. The Ducks bench got into the act as Elgin Cook put in 18 and Jason Calliste hit all three of his three-point attempts adding 16 on the night.
"We're playing well in spurts right now. We're trying to make it where it's a full half, or a full 30 minutes. Someday we'll get to a full 40 minutes."
Freshman Mike Moser on Oregon's Performance vs San Francisco
The Home Cooking continues for Oregon this week with the Global Sports Hardwood Challege that tips off on Friday at Noon. Pacific, North Dakota, and Cal Poly will be in Eugene for a series of games with the Ducks(and each other).

Wine, Weather and Wiles: The History and Culture of Local Wine
The locavore movement is growing and for some people, eating local isn't enough - they want to drink local too. The region's wine industry has blossomed over the last few decades, but unpredictable weather and favoritism for European or California wines mean local vintages still have a long way to go. We take a look at the ways weather, culture and history combine to create wines unique to the Washington area.

Main-level master bedrooms are one hot design trend. Indeed, home owners and architects alike are eschewing the golden rule of public areas downstairs and private bedrooms upstairs, and they're mixing up these spaces with wild abandon. The decision to make room for the master suite on the main level isn't random. It's part of the latest evolution in home design. It's called universal design and is based on designing a home that's just easier to usefor all ages, genders, sizes and abilities. An essential component of this equal-opportunity concept is one-story living. While this new allocation of square footage creates a more accessible living space, there are some challenges in terms of what to do with the remaining gap upstairs and how to make way for another room downstairs. And, of course, you now have a very private room sharing walls with and opening up to the most public gathering areas. So you and your design team need to balance accessibility with privacy.Fill in the GapThe master suite is a sizable room, so moving it from the upper level leaves a pretty big gap upstairs. Or not. One solution is to keep a master bedroom on the second floor, in addition to building one downstairs. These become flexible spaces that can serve as a guest room or office depending on what your lifestyle dictates.Another option that's tried and true is to fill part of the leftover gap with a smaller bonus room or a loft that overlooks a two-story great room. Move Over, Bacon On the main level, the design issue is the opposite. You're introducing yet another room to the floorplan, and the great room, kitchen and dining room are nudging elbows to make way for it. You have two options here. Either shave off square footage of the existing rooms to carve out a spot for the master bedroom that fits within the original footprintor create a completely separate wing for the master bedroom.

Colombian food is comfort food: sparingly seasoned meats, beans, rice, plantains, and of course, arepas. For Miami's Colombian community, Los Arrieros provides an equally comforting atmosphere: walls adorned with quaint little balconcitos (models of Spanish-tile balconies), a life-size balcón for a stage, and a couple of jocular trovadores improvising verses from handwritten audience requests. The restaurant, which moved from its previous, more easterly location some two years ago, specializes in the cuisine of la zona cafetera, the mountainous coffee-growing region of central Colombia that includes the cities of Medellín and Manizales. (Arrieros are drovers who lead teams of coffee-bean-laden donkeys down from the fields.) The menu's highlights include a savory sancocho, a clear soup loaded with gallina (hen), chunks of green plantain, potato, and yuca, seasoned liberally with fresh cilantro. (At $6.50 the large sancocho is a great value.) The bandeja paisa features a tender steak, a strip of delicately fried chicharrón (pork skin), a mountain of white rice, a steaming bowl of red beans, and a fried egg. Spoon on some deliciously bright chimichurri sauce for a little snap in your steak. Wash it all down with a Manzana Postobon soda, and immerse yourself in la experiencia total de la comida paisa.

Christopher Owen Ayres (born May 16, 1965 in Richmond, Virginia) is an American voice actor who works for anime series at ADV Films, FUNimation and Seraphim Digital Studios. He has provided voices for a number of English-language versions of Japanese anime films. He also has lots of experience as a stage combat director, which he sometimes combines with his anime experience in the form of his "Mock Combat for Cosplay" con workshop panel. He is best known at conventions for bringing a giant colorful travel mug nicknamed by fans as "The Sippy Cup of Doom". Since Sentai Filmworks rose up from the ashes of ADV, Chris has become one of the 3 full-time directors for them and practically lives at the studio, which means he's pretty much unavailable for acting jobs at the moment.He is the brother of Greg Ayres.Occasionally his surname is listed as Ayers instead of Ayres; however, this spelling is incorrect as his legal name is "Christopher Ayres".

Retrieve hidden X11 apps after Finder crashes
I should mention ... in my write-up above I stated that when the Finder crashed, this causes the problem to manifest itself. In further testing to replicate the problem, it is when the *Dock* crashes/dies/is killed, and not the Finder.
Retrieve hidden X11 apps after Finder crashes
How are you crashing the Dock? Not to suggest that your hint is not potentially useful, but wouldn't a better solution be to identify the cause(s) of your problems with the Dock (or Finder)?
Retrieve hidden X11 apps after Finder crashes
As to why the Dock is crashing? Well, its not just from crashing, but any restart of the Dock. It happened after I installed the 10.4.4 update (but before I rebooted). Also, I have my "Applications" and "Utilities" folders in my dock and often right-click or ctrl-click to run an app quickly. On rare occasion, I'll right click on Applications and the Dock will just die. 5 seconds later, I'll try the same thing, and it'll work perfectly.

Sunday afternoon marked the end of the Kansas Jayhawks' run in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The Jayhawks were defeated by the Kentucky Wildcats by a score of 8-6.
Kansas wasn't looking too good to start the game, as junior pitcher Robert Kahana allowed three runs in four innings. Junior reliever Drew Morovik came in for Kahana and didn't do much better. Morovik allowed four more runs to top off the fourth inning giving Kentucky a 7-0 lead.
Morovik came back in the fifth and sixth innings and only allowed one more run. Freshmen Jon Hander and Stephen Villines also took the mound for the Jayhawks and didn't allow any runs, although Hander gave up two hits.
The bottom of the sixth is when the Jayhawks came to life. They managed five runs, making it an 8-5 ball game in Louisville.
The last score of the game by either team came from Kansas catcher Ka'iana Eldredge who hit a home run at the bottom of the eighth inning. Had the two batters before him gotten on base, the Jayhawks could have tied it up. Unfortunately, Eldredge's homer only brought the Jayhawks within two and they lost 8-6.
This Jayhawks baseball team has a lot to be proud of. They made it to the NCAA Baseball Tournament for the first time since 2009. Kansas may not have gotten the job done against Kentucky today, but they did defeat the Wildcats on Friday afternoon in a high scoring game (10-6 was the final score in that one).

SA win USA Sevens to lead World Series
By Tom Chick in Las Vegas
South Africa defended their USA Sevens title in style in Las Vegas, winning a thrilling Cup final 14-7 against reigning Series champions, New Zealand.
In winning a second successive tournament title this season, South Africa assume a one-point lead over New Zealand in the HSBC Sevens World Series standings. They also extend their winning streak against the kiwis to five matches, stretching back to December 2012.
Scott Curry gave New Zealand the lead in a bruising final at the Sam Boyd Stadium, but tries by Branco du Preez and Werner Kok were enough to seal the South Africans' title defence as they conceded just 14 points en route to their victory. .
Powell's side reached the Cup final in Las Vegas with a 14-0 win over the 2010 an 2012 USA Sevens champions Samoa.
A try either side of half time from Chris Dry and Sampie Mastriet ensured the blitzbokke reached a third final in four years still having conceded just one try in their first five matches.
New Zealand set up a repeat last year's Cup final coming from 7-0 behind to beat Canada, appearing in only their second Cup semi final, 26-7 including two tries from Bryce Heem.
Canada went on to finish third, their highest-ever finish at a World Series event, coming from 12-0 behind to beat Samoa 22-19 and claim 17 Series points thanks to Phil Mack, named in the Las Vegas Dream Team, scoring a penalty drop goal with the last play of the match to take his tally to 11 in the match.
England claim silverware in Las Vegas
England overcame Australia 26-24 thanks to 11 points from the Series leading points scorer Tom Mitchell and collected 13 Series points to take their tally to 53 for the season.
Peter Schuster sent Australia through to the Plate final with a try in sudden death extra time after Michael O'Connor's side had finished the normal 14 minutes locked at 19-19 with Argentina.
England booked their place in the final with a 21-12 win over France.
Fiji impressive in Bowl
Five different try scorers crossed the line for Fiji as they beat Kenya 35-0 in the final of the Bowl.
Having been knocked out of the Cup, much to the disappointment of coach Ben Ryan, Fiji came out firing on the third and final day and beat Wales 40-12 in their semi final with six different players scoring.
In the other semi final Kenya came from 7-0 behind to reach the Bowl final after tries from Dennis Ombachi, Billy Odhiambo and Collins Injera secured a 21-7 win against Scotland.
Host celebrate Shield
Zack Test and the USA saved their best for the third and final day of their home tournament, beating Spain 31-0 in the final of the Shield with Test scoring two tries to the delight of the home crowd at the Sam Boyd Stadium.
Matt Hawkins' side earlier defeated Uruguay 28-14 with tries from Test (2), Brett Thompson and Carlin Isles as they claimed important Series points.
In the other semi final Spain beat their neighbours Portugal 19-12 to reach the final with Francisco Hernandez scoring nine points.

In the slugfest that no one expected, the Rockets come up short in an overtime loss to the Golden State Lucky Pieces of…Warriors. What? That's their new name.
Google it.
Hmmmmm, whiskey is a fine thing. It has many qualities that I admire. It gets better with age, it sits in barrels which allows me to yell this within an almost correct context, it isn't coached by Mark Jackson, and the brands I drink do not originate in California. All of these things combined make it a wonderful companion for the journey we will and have taken tonight. Because it was brutal.
I'm sure it was a fun game to watch from a third party perspective. Maybe Klay Thompson's weak ass goatee is considered cute in some circles. Maybe Mark Jackson's faux old school chest pounding is endearing to some. But the only thing those traits do to me is create a distaste for all things Golden State that I imagine will burn until the Andromeda Galaxy collides with our Milky Way Galaxy to create Milkdromeda Galaxy.
So like 3.75 billion years.
Almost done seething. The actual point I wanted to make in the intro is the Rockets and Warriors could play ten more times this year, and not a single game would be like this one. This is the outlier. Rockets didn't play well, Warriors hit a number of lucky shots and with the help of the refs were able to just barely escape with a win on their home floor. If someone would like to pretend that the Warriors are a true threat to a healthy Rockets squad in a seven game series, more power to them, but that's exactly what they're doing, pretending.
The Skinny
Alright so that I keep this a manageable length, I'm going to talk about specific things through the third quarter and then move to recapping the final crucial moments of this game.
Dwight Howard's Night
Boy did he have a rough one. At the end of three quarters he had 3 points on 1-9 shooting and Jermaine O'neal ended up marking him for almost the entire game. You might remember Jermaine from such exploits as this. But he only had one job to do tonight and it was to make Dwight work; which he accomplished with merit.
Howard's hook shot is like Vince Young's throwing motion. Yeah it kind of gets the job done, but you know there are about 100 better ways to execute it. When Howard releases his hook, it's not actually a shot. The ball is simply playing the percentages in that if it doesn't have far to travel, then there is less time for the ball to lose it's general direction. Yao Ming and the Dream had actual hook shots and that's what made them unstoppable. It didn't matter how far out you pushed them, a few extra feet wasn't going to effect a ball that was aimed at the hoop. I respect the hell out of the improvement Dwight has made in the paint but he still doesn't shoot the ball; he throws it up there and hopes for the best.
Dwight's sequence tonight went like this:
- Slams an alley-oop from Parsons.
- Difficult hook shots from too far out.
- Recognizes he has to be closer. O'neal flops and draws the charge.
- Goes back to missing long hooks.
- Dwight picks up fourth foul in the 3rd quarter and sits down until later making an impact.
It didn't help that the Refs were calling an egregious game, and allowing for Howard to be hammered down low while calling touch fouls on Patrick Beverley up high. Despite being mostly useless offensively, Howard was busting his tail in every other aspect of the game and eventually played pretty well in the closing 13 minutes of the game.
Defensive Struggles
Something the Rockets neglected all night was closing out on shooters at the three point line. The first three quarters were FILLED with this mistake. Houston hurled themselves at shooters instead of closing out under control. This led to a number of open threes for Curry as well as A LOT of dribble penetration. This was the catalyst for David Lee's big night, and D-Mo's benching. Once the Warrior player drove by the perimeter defender (usually a power forward), our center was forced to commit and David Lee would trail the center creating an easy dump off and lay-up for Golden State. It wasn't as prominent in the second half but it killed us at first.
The Rockets were so conscious of the Warrior's shooting talent that they relaxed on all the other basic principles of defense.
Harden's Second Half
So because of the poor defense, Houston went into half time down 47-43 and with almost no momentum. James Harden had 5 points and we knew that if he didn't show up then this one was already over. Harden then went 5-6 for 15 points in the third quarter. Nailing transition threes, forcing his way to the hoop, and generally being impossible to stop despite all of the defensive attention he was getting. Something that helped the Rockets in the third was that Howard got his 4th foul. Each possession Houston had been sending Howard's way was a waste at that point. With Asik in, the team looked a little more like last years Rockets. By the end of the third the Rockets had gained their ground back and were still only down four despite their uninspiring play.
The Final Thirteen Minutes
So with eight minutes left in the fourth, the Rockets (mostly Harden) had tied the game at 73-73. At this point the only way the Warriors were scoring was through extremely lucky shots or by major mental lapses on Houston's part. Golden State's offense had ground to a halt. Unfortunately so did Houston's other than the 15 points Harden would go on to score in the quarter.
Kevin McHale, desperate to get something going switches to the true small ball lineup with four minutes left. Beverley (who had hounded Curry all night), Unconfident Lin (who played terrible), James Harden, Chandler Parsons (who didn't have his shot in the second half) and Howard (who was doing anything he could to affect the game). I was hoping this would lead to an offense but unfortunately it just gave Harden many more Iso possessions so I'm not sure what to think of all that. Twitterverse was complaining after the game about McHale being out coached and this next bit is I think why.
Beverley was making Curry's life miserable so Mark Jackson started running true plays for Klay Thompson. Medium level pick and rolls or off ball screens to get Klay open shots from his sweet spots. After doing that a couple times, Jackson then exclusively picked on James Harden with David Lee. Harden was playing the power forward in the small lineup and Lee was trying to back him down possession after possession. McHale countered with more 1 vs 5 basketball. After Lee hits two a couple shots in a row, the Houston moment of the night happens.
With 30 seconds left and the game tied at 87, the Warriors throw it down into Lee again with Harden at his back. Lee takes a power dribble and as he turns, Harden goes full Chuck Hayes on the ball and slaps it clean out of his hands. Harden grabs the ball in transition and isolates on Iguodala at the top of the key. Jab step, through leg dribble, MJ arm check, step back, nothing but net. Rockets go up 89-87 with 6 seconds left.
The Warriors call a timeout and get the ball at half court. They run Curry off a screen to receive the ball and Parsons is trailing Curry as he outlines the three point line then heads for the basket. Curry has Parsons behind him and Howard ahead of him as he gently kisses the ball off the very top of the backboard (which was necessary in order to clear Dwight's excellent challenge) and the ball just barely rolls in. Tie game, 89-89 with 3 seconds left. Harden misses a decent look at a three on the next possession and the game heads to overtime.
In overtime the Rockets only really ran the Harden ISO so things continued to be tough. Igoudala hits a couple more extremely lucky shots but the play of the game came from Jermaine O'neal. With a minute left and the Rockets down 96-95, Parsons does a brilliant back door cut off a Harden ISO and James finds him. Parsons raises up for the baseline slam but Jermaine FREAKING O'neal is there for the huge block. The Warriors recover the rebound and then the game was just about hitting free throws.
Rockets lose a tough one, 102-99 in overtime.
The statistical nitty gritty is here.
They do it again on Sunday at 8PM CST against the Suns in Phoenix.
Just for the record, I'm counting this glass of whiskey as morning drinking.
