Tirunelveli Tamil
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
Nellai Tamil, also known as Tirunelveli Tamil, is one of the dialects of Tamil which is spoken in the districts of Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi as well as over the vast area of south Tamil Nadu which was once ruled by the Pandiya Kings. Nellai Tamil is also known as Thenpaandi Tamil. Thenpaandi Seemai refers to the part of a Pandya kingdom which includes the present day Tirunelveli and Tuticorin Districts.
The Tirunelveli Tamil Dialect (TTD) has on the whole 41 phonemes of which 31 are segmental and the remaining 10 are suprasegmental.[1] Nellai Tamil also preserves archaic kinship terms that other dialects have long discarded. However, the most unique feature of the Tamil spoken in the Tirunelveli region is that the medial "c" is pronounced as a voiceless palatal affricate as in Old Tamil (like the Sanskrit j) and has not undergone the change to the dental "s" as in most other dialects.[2]

text: To be married with someone you love in a very special way should be a special event and held in a very exotic place. Which is why many westerners have been choosing Bali as their place to get married. It has romance, mysticism and a unique culture. For Balinese, especially for Balinese Hindu, their wedding is one of the most important things in their life as the wedding ceremony is a sign or an announcement that he or she is to begin a new level of life by leaving the brahmacari stage.

Recognizing the Best
Every year, the International Tennis Hall of Fame inducts three or four people who have had a major impact on tennis, whether as a pro player or as a "contributor" to the game, such as a media member, coach, administrator, or official. Those chosen to be in the Hall by the international panel that selects them are certainly all more than worthy to receive this honor.
There is, though, one person who has yet to make it into the Hall, and we think he deserves to be there. It's time to induct Dennis Van der Meer.
No one has had such a direct impact on thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of recreational players throughout the world than has Van der Meer. He has taught more people to play and teach tennis than anyone in the history of the game. He's a coach, innovator, advocate, and tireless promoter for the sport, as he has been for decades.
Van der Meer has personally taught thousands to play this game. And through the thousands of coaches he has influenced through the Professional Tennis Registry, which he founded in 1976, his influence in tennis probably extends to millions of recreational players. And it's not just in this country, it's worldwide — the PTR currently has more than 12,700 members in 126 countries.
Earlier in his career, Van der Meer coached both Margaret Court and Billie Jean King. He was in King's corner during the famous Battle of the Sexes with Bobby Riggs. In 1972, the U.S. State Department cited him for Exceptional Coaching Performance in the Middle East, and in 1989, he received the Healthy American Fitness Award. He was named Developmental Coach of the Year by the U.S. Olympic Committee in 1997.
Over the course of his career, in addition to helping recreational players learn and excel at tennis, he's also coached men and women pro tour players. And he and the PTR also are leaders — not just in the U.S., but internationally — in spreading tennis to wheelchair players and physically and mentally challenged players, too.
Nominations for the 2008 Hall of Fame induction close April 1 (visit www.tennisfame.com to submit nominations), and I know there are plenty of worthy contributors to the sport who deserve — one day — to be in the International Tennis Hall of Fame. But now, it's time we recognize the one person who simply far and away has had such a major, positive impact on this worldwide sport.
Induction into the Hall of Fame in the "Contributor" category is based on "exceptional contributions that have furthered the growth, reputation, and character of the sport." That, in a nutshell, is exactly what Dennis Van der Meer has been doing for more than 50 years — better than anyone else in the history of this sport.

Because the main thing that matters and determines if a film is good or bad - as you yourself have bleated on this forum so very very many times - is the box office?
Is there possibly a discussion forum somewhere where people could actually discuss the film? Critically or non-critically, but without this juvenile bull* that keeps being popping up here.

Not everyone is cut out to be a pioneer.
Thankfully, the role doesn't require a horde of people.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Washington Redskins
Being at the forefront of unprecedented developments can be uncomfortable. The level of attention and scrutiny spikes like temperatures in July. Everywhere you go, the environment changes as soon as you arrive. Normalcy warps and cracks and becomes a distant memory.
After a while, though, firsts aren't such a big deal.
Sure, they're always honored for their roles. Their names are etched in stone and the history books. They are recognized for their feat as long as they live.
SEE ALSO: Tony Dungy defends Michael Sam critique, tosses blame on Oprah Winfrey
But as more folks follow suit, what once was considered bold, daring and shocking becomes the new norm.
By then, when the magnifying glass goes away and the spotlight goes out, it's easier for the masses to join in and do the right thing, too.
So we shouldn't be overly harsh in judging Tony Dungy's comments that he "wouldn't want to deal with all of it," and therefore wouldn't have drafted openly gay NFL player Michael Sam.
It turns out that Dungy's heart really is in the right place.
He simply isn't pioneer material.
"… I felt drafting him would bring much distraction to the team," Dungy said in a statement released Tuesday, attempting to quell the firestorm he ignited by earlier remarks to the Tampa Tribune.
The former NFL coach proceeded to explain that he "would not" have a problem having Sam on his team; sexual orientation "should not" be part of player evaluation; and Sam "absolutely" deserves an opportunity to play,
Furthermore, Dungy said playing in the NFL "is, and should be, about merit" and he doesn't believe that Sam's orientation will be "a distraction to his teammates or his organization."
It's not Sam that would worry coach Dungy.

Hotel im Charme der 20erPosted Oct 1, 2015
Das Zimmer ist ruhig und sehr sauber. Das Badezimmer besteht nur aus Dusche und WC und ist sehr eng. Beim Duschen steht alles unter Wasser. Das Waschbecken befindet sich im Zimmer und ist nur zum Hände waschen geeignet. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das kontinentale Frühstück beschränkt sich auf wenige süße Teilchen sowie Joghurt. Das Hotel liegt zentral in Downtown Long Beach direkt an einer Metrostation.

Cons: Water could be left in the room as well as in the lobby.
Great hotel for short stays in Long Beach. Breakfast is very basic, but it's centrally located with restaurants and shops close by, the rooms are clean and modern, the shower is warm, bed is comforable, the internet is quick and the staff are friendly. I would stay here again.

Great place to stay!Posted Aug 23, 2015
Pros: See above.
Cons: The bed could have been harder - we didn't ask about that.
Location: Central Long Beach, close to our destination.
Don't judge this hotel by its exterior. We liked everything about it. The rooms are quite small, but that's just part of the fun. Staff is great. Rooms are clean, modern, and stylish. WiFi connected quickly and worked perfectly. Costs $10 to park in the lot immediately to the north of the building. Continental breakfast included Keurig coffees, orange juice, tea, mini-muffins, apples, oranges, oatmeal, and danish. Bed was a little soft, if that's an issue for you.

'Broken Windows,' Broken Policy
The deaths of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and others at the hands of police demonstrate that the "broken windows'' theory of policing doesn't work and should be eliminated.

All of Earth Now a Mercury Hotspot
Nearly a year ago, I interviewed David Evers, the executive director of Maine's Biodiversity Research Institute, on the revelation that insect-eating inland songbirds can accumulate mercury at dangerous levels every bit as much as fish-eating river and coastal birds. He called the findings a "game-changing paradigm shift" for understanding mercury's pernicious presence.

In reversing controversial plans last week to expand offshore drilling off the Atlantic coast and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said, "As a result of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill we learned a number of lessons, most importantly that we need to proceed with caution.'' Salazar said the Obama administration is now laying out "a careful, responsible path for meeting our nation's energy needs while protecting our oceans and coastal communities.''

Election Puts Solar Energy in Danger
Just when you thought the United States was far enough behind in renewable energy, here come the midterm elections. Should the Republicans regain control of the House, as widely anticipated, one of the biggest losers is likely to be solar power. The Republican takeover of the House would likely give us John Boehner of Ohio as the new speaker. It would mean that the chairmanship of the House Energy and Commerce committee would reportedly fall into the hands of either Joe Barton of Texas, Fred Upton of Michigan, Cliff Stearns of Florida, or John Shimkus of Illinois.

1. Re: Batch File That Starts Java VM Exits - Java App Still Running807588 Mar 12, 2009 1:30 PM (in response to 807588)I suppose one alternative might be to make a way of sending a message to the Java process directly, and then let the fallout of the Java process end the parent process. Something like this might work:
With this code, simply telnetting to port 5678 at that computer's IP will cause the Java process to exit, which should cause the parent process to execute as well. This of course would need to be cleared by the firewall.
public class SomeClass { private static final int myPort = 5678; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { Thread mainWorker = new Thread( new Runnable() { public void run() { for(;;) { //do something with file I/O if ( false ) { break; } } System.exit(0); //normal exit: processing finishes } }); mainWorker.start(); ServerSocket sck = new ServerSocket(myPort); sck.accept(); System.exit(1); }
2. Re: Batch File That Starts Java VM Exits - Java App Still Running807588 Mar 17, 2009 9:44 AM (in response to 807588)Not a bad idea. This process is likely to be scheduled to run every 10minutes, the problem being if it doesn't exit when it should, there is really no way to know when to kill it. It its running, it may very well be that is should be running, and therefore should not be killed. Or, its possible that it's running when it shouldn't be, and therefore the telnet idea you mentioned should be executed.
However, since this process will be running 24/7 every 10 minutes, there definitely needs to be a completed automated way to terminate the process when necessary.
So, we need to know:
1) When it is necessary
2) Which java.exe process to kill, b/c an invalid one may still be running when a valid one begins.
3) How to terminate it properly.
If we can just have the java.exe process terminate properly when it has done its job, then steps 1,2,3, are obsolete, which is the way I would like to go.
Thank You,

The biggest elephant in the room when it comes to social influencers is the pricing mechanism. For such a nascent form of advertising, which breaks grounds & presents huge opportunities, it's 'shoot in the dark' when it comes to costs & pricing. Many people go by 'reach' of an influencer. Let us make it clear: Reach is ALWAYS inflated. Conventionally advertising has always been measured by reach (i.e. how many people saw an ad). Many of the brands/agencies are so used to reach a metric that they fall off their seats when we say, that's not how influencer marketing is measured... Read the post

Well, millennials do account for more than half of Snapchat's 200 million users. However, features such as Snapchat discover and stories have opened the floodgates for new user entry. We understand that 'trends' is one feature common across social media platforms. These trends, however, are based on user actions (hashtags, likes, shares, retweets, mentions etc.). In the recent past, there has been a sudden increase in the number of inorganic trends. What makes Snapchat unique is that it puts editors, writers and media houses in charge to broadcast an event in the form of a story. Want another reason to start using this platform?.. Read the post

After the oil is encountered by using a sweeping formation the task is then to recover as much of the oil on water as possible, normally with as little water content as possible. DESMI has the entire range of skimmers available today. Our capacities are ranging from 2 – 250 m³/h The types of skimmers available includes Weir, Oleophilic, Vacuum and Belt Skimmers.
As a specialty DESMI has invented the DBD Type of skimmers where one floating body can be easily used as a Disc, Brush or Drum Skimmer. By using this concept one skimmer can be used with three different Oleophilic principles depending on the type of oil to be recovered. This allows our customers to have flexibility combined with economical sense.
Our Mop-Rope Skimmer should also be highlighted. No other skimmer type is so flexible and can enter to narrow spaces as a Mop-Rope Skimmer. Especially in harbours and for the industry this type of skimmer is second-to-none.

mco VAN DER LINDEN A TTOR/VEX United States Patent Oifice 3,572,355 Patented Mar. 23, 1971 3,572,355 PUSHBU'I'I'ON OPERABLE GAS VALVE COMBINATION Nico Van der Linden, Emmen, Netherlands, assignor to Honeywell Inc., Minneapolis, Minn. Filed Dec. 13, 1968, Ser. No. 783,679 Claims priority, application Germany, Mar. 30, 1968, P 17 78 129.2 Int. Cl. F23n /10 US. Cl. 137-66 9 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A safety gas valve of the type using a thermocouple, heated by a pilot burner, to energize a magnet that is adapted to hold a valve in its open position but is incapable of opening the valve. The valve is manually opened by a first plunger acting upon a pair of latchtogether levers which operably engage the valve. A second manually operable plunger is arranged to unlatch the levers to permit the valve to be biased to its closed position. The parts are so arranged that the valve cannot again be moved to its open position until the magnet is deenergized. The safety valve controls gas flow not only to a main burner but to a pilot burner and a controller valve which, in turn, controls gas flow to a pressure operated valve in series with the safety valve. The first plunger operates an interrupter valve in series with the controller valve to prevent gas flow to the pressure operated valve during the resetting operation of the safety valve.
RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is related to a corresponding German patent application Ser. No. P 17 78 129.2, with the same title and filed Mar. 30, 1968, the benefit of which date is claimed for this application. Another United States patent application, which is directed generally to similar subject matter, is Jan H. Van der Zee application No. 613,870,
entitled Gas Valve With a Thermoelectric Safety Device, filed Feb. 3, 1967, and now Pat. No. 3,480,028.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION United States Patents 2,988,098 and 3,099,994 are also directed to valves for performing a generally similar function.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A safety valve of the type requiring manual resetting of the valve and having means for manually closing the valve, wherein push-button rods are provided to perform the resetting and closing functions and wherein a latching mechanism, including a pair of levers, is provided to prevent immediate resetting of the valve following manual closing thereof.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 shows schematically a section through those parts of the gas valve combination, which are of interest in connection with the invention, with the elements being in the normal position, that is with the gas stream being shut ofi.
FIG. 2 shows the disengageable interlock connection in the operating position, that is when the safety valve is open and the power unit has pulled-in.
FIG. 3 shows the same elements when the interlock connection is disengaged either manually or because of exceeding temperature and the safety valve is closed but the power unit is still energized.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the valve housing 1 of the gas valve combination, a well-known thermoelectric ignition safety device or power unit 2 is mounted, the armature 3 of which bears on a rod 4 and is pressed away from the magnet 7 of the power unit by means of a spring 5, which on the one side abuts against the housing of the power unit and on the other side against a spring plate 6. Furthermore, in the housing 1, two pushbuttons 11 and 12 are slidably guided and are biased by means of two reset springs 13 and 14, respectively, in the direction of their normal position. Both pushbutton rods 15 and 16 project into the internal space 17 of the housing which is gas-tight sealed against those spaces of the housing filled with gas means not shown.
Sitting on the valve seat 21 of the safety valve, is its closure member 22, the valve rod 23 of which is spring biased by means of a spring 24 in the valve open direction. Since the spring 5 of the power unit is stronger than the spring 24, the spring 5 simultaneously holds the valve 22 closed. The spring 24 abuts at one end against the housing and at the other end against a collar 25 on the valve rod 23.
Tiltable around a stationary axis 26, is a tilting lever 27, the lever arm 28 of which projects into the stroke area of the projection 18 of the pushbutton rod 16. The other lever arm 29 of the tilting lever 27 lies between the end of the armature rod 4 of the power unit and the end of the valve rod 23 of the safety valve. About the axis 26, there is also rotatable a second lever 31, which, by means of an interlock connection, is coupled to the lever 27. This interlock connection prevents the pressure spring 32, inserted between the two levers 27 and 31, from pressing the two levers apart. The interlock connection consists of a spring blade 33 with a hook 34 at its end. This hook 34 grips behind an edge 35 of the lever 31 as long as both levers are interlocked together. The lever 33 is either resilient or is linked flexibly to the lever 27 at the spot 36.
At the lower end of push-button rod 16, a closure member 40 for the valve controlling the gas stream to the main burner, is guided movably and is spring biased in closing direction by means of a spring 41. If the pushbutton 12 is pressed-in, the closure member 40 engages seat 42 and closes the gas flow to the main burner or to a servo system controlling the gas stream to the main burner. If the pushbutton 12 is pressed in further, the closure member remains in its closed position and the rod 16 slides through the valve 40 and enters the space 43. Simultaneously, the projection 18 engages the lever arm 28 of the tilting lever 27 and rotates this lever in a clockwise direction. Therewith, the lever 31 is rotated simultaneously, which via the interlock connection 33, 34, 35, is coupled to the lever 27. The lever arm 29 of the lever 27 presses the armature rod 4 of the power unit 2 upwardly and, therefore, the armature 3 against the magnet 7. The free end of lever 31 engages a recess 30 of the valve rod 23 and moves this valve rod in an upward direction, whereby the closure member 22 of the safety valve is lifted from seat 21. Now gas can enter from the gas inlet 44 via the safety valve and the channel 45 to the outlet 46 which leads to the pilot burner. The connection between the channel 47 and the space 43 is closed by means of the closure member 40. As soon as the pilot flame has heated the thermocouple of the ignition safety device sufiiciently, the power unit holds the armature 3 in engagement with the magnet and holds the safety valve 22 open. Now the pushbutton 12 can be released to return under the influence of spring 14 into its normal position. The rods and levers now take the positions shown in FIG. 2. When the pushbutton 12 returns into its normal position the lower end of pushbutton rod 16 takes with it the closure member 40 in an upwardly direction so that now the connection between the passage 47 and the space 43 is established and gas can flow through outlet 48 to main burner or, via this outlet, to a servo system which opens a valve, which is situated between the passage 45 and the main burner.
'If the pilot flame extinguishes, the power unit drops out after the thermocouple has cooled down sufficiently, whereby levers 27 and 31 are rotated under the influence of spring into the positions shown in FIG. 1 and thereby close the safety valve 22. Spring 5 is stronger than spring 24.
Starting again from the position of the elements as shown in FIG. 2, in which the safety valve as well as the main burner valve is open, the gas stream can be closed manually by pressing off-button 11. The lower end of the pushbutton rod 15 thereby presses against hook 34 so that this hook slips away from the edge 35 and therewith disconnects the interlock connection between the levers 27 and 31. Spring 32 is now in a position topress the two levers 27 and 31 apart. The elements now take the positions as shown in FIG. 3, in which the power unit still draws the armature against the magnet. The spring 32, however, presses via lever 31 the valve rod 23 downwardly so that the safety valve 22' closes. The spring 32 is stronger than spring 24. With the safety valve being closed, the gas stream to the main burner as well as to the pilot burner is interrupted. Therefore, the thermocouple cools down and after a predetermined time period, the armature 3 of the power unit is no longer held against the magnet. The spring 5 now presses the armature and the armature rod 4 downwardly so that levers 27 and 31 again take the position as shown in FIG. 1, with hook 34 engaging behind edge 35 of lever 31. Spring 5 is stronger than spring 32. Now the elements again are in the normal position as shown in FIG. 1 and a new ignition trial can be started.
In the position as shown in FIG. 3 in which the safety valve is already closed but the power unit is still energized, no new ignition trial can be started because of the connection between the two levers 27 and 31 being interrupted. The projection 18 of the pushbutton rod 16 can not move the valve rod 23 of the safety valve. Not before the power unit drops out, can the two levers again come into engagement and a new ignition trial can be started.
An additional safety against inadmissible temperature increase within the housing can be achieved according to a modification of the invention by making the arm 33 of the hook 34 of bimetal material. If an inadmissible temperature increase appears, the bimetal bends into a form as shown in FIG. 3, so that the interlock connection between the levers 27 and 31 is interrupted and the safety valve 22 is closed by the force of the spring 32. When the temperature in the housing decreases to the normal value, hook 34 again accepts the flat form as shown in FIG. 2 and engages behind the edge 35 of lever 31. Then the interlock connection between the two levers is re-established.
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or right is claimed are defined as follows:
1. A gas valve which has a gas passageway leading from a gas inlet to a gas outlet, a safety valve 22 which is operably connected to and movable in response to tilting motion of a first lever 31 to open and close the passageway, a second lever 27 with which the first lever is normally constrained by a latch means 33-35 for joint tilting motion to and from an open position and a closed position, means 32 for biasing said levers apart, first control means 12, 16 and 18 which is operable to tilt the second lever and the first lever when the latch means is engaged to open said safety valve, means 5 tending to tilt said levers when the latch means is engaged to close said safety valve, an ignition safety means 2 which is operable in response to a flame to restrain the means tending to tilt the levers from moving said levers once the safety valve is in the open position and a flame is present, and second control means which is operable to release the latch means, the arrangement being such that release of the latch means while the said ignition safety means remains operable causes the first lever alone to tilt to close said safety valve under the influence of said means for biasing said levers apart so that re-opening of the passage is dependent upon prior re-engagement of the latch means.
2. A gas valve according to claim 1, wherein the second lever 27 and the first lever 31 operating the safety valve 22 are tiltable around a common axis 26.
3. A gas valve according to claim 2, wherein the latch means includes an interlock hook 33, 34 which is borne by one lever 27 and engages behind an edge 35 of the other lever 31.
4. A gas valve according to claim 3, wherein the inter-,
lock hook 33, 34 is resiliently supported.
5. A gas valve according to claim 1, wherein the latch means 33, 34, 35 includes a temperature sensitive member 33 which disengages the latch means if the temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature.
6. A gas valve according to claim 5, wherein the member 33 of the latch means 33, 34 is borne by a lever 27 and is a bimetal member.
7. A gas valve as defined in claim 1, wherein said first and second control means are operated by pushbuttons.
8. A gas valve as defined in claim 1, in combination with main valve means in said passageway between said safety valve and said outlet and located with respect to said first control means so as to be closed thereby only while the first control means is being operated to open said safety valve.
9. A gas valve as defined in claim 8, wherein said gas valve has an outlet from said passageway between said safety valve and said main valve means for connection to a pilot burner.

Hello everyone.
We are a family of four coming from Italy to visit the Atlantic region this summer.
On the last day of our vacation, we have to drop off the car at 12 o'clock in Washington, Union Station. This means that the previous night we don't want to be too far from DC.
The day before, we will be travelling from Staunton, VA, we want to pay a visit to the Luray Caverns, then drive a part of the Skyline Drive to Front Royal, then ... I thought we could even reach Harpers Ferry. But ... here are the questions:
1) We'll be arriving in Harpers Ferry no sooner than dinner time. Is there something to visit at that time? Is it worth to stop just for an evening and a night?
2) Do we have enough time the next morning to reach DC by 12 and drop the car off? How about traffic reaching DC? Google maps gives me 1h 16' of driving time, is it realistic? Maybe we can visit something in Harpers Ferry in the morning?
3) Other options to spend a night not too far from DC, coming from Shenandoah Valley?
Thank you all!

Using this sofa for light use in a commercial waiting room setting and is holding up well. Firm, but still comfortable. There are a couple imperfections in the stitching so I do worry about them coming undone over time but has not been an issue to date. Its proportions give it a very low look, the sofa appears much smaller than it actually is.

Regardless of the polarizing aspects of the American education system, the ever-present pause of summer vacation is an inarguable luxury; however, for many college students, particularly those who wish to expedite their graduation process, taking the summer off from school isn't an option. A large portion of the country's college student population will take courses over the summer, choosing to sit in a lecture hall rather than play Frisbee on a sunny day.
Those of you who have been enduring the summer semester already understand the unique pressures and expectations of the shortened schedule, but it's not over yet. Here are eleven tips to supplement the winding down of the shortest semester in college; not only are these tips helpful and realistic, but they've been provided by fellow college students attending Berkley in California.
Generally useful tips like 'attend your classes' and 'drink cups of coffee' are included, but some more pertinent information regarding stress management and gaining Gen-Ed credits stand out. Even though these students attend a university on the west coast, their insight is ubiquitous.
Hang in there! Only a few more weeks of summer school to go.

PLAYOFF SERIES: Eastern Conference quarterfinals; Bruins lead 3-1.
Having a short memory is now the key for the Montreal Canadiens.
One loss away from having their season ended, the Canadiens look to rebound from a devastating defeat and prolong their quarterfinal series against the Boston Bruins when the teams meet in Game 5.
Needing a win to even this series, the Canadiens appeared on the verge of doing so when Mike Ribeiro's second goal of the game in the second period gave Montreal a 3-1 lead Tuesday. Boston, however, drew within one on Jiri Slegr's goal midway through the second period.
Montreal needed only to close out the final minute to send the series back to Boston even, but Mike Knuble forced overtime when instant replay showed his deflection barely crossed the goal line with 31 seconds left in regulation.
After each goalie made several outstanding saves during a scoreless first extra period, Montreal's Alex Kovalev committed a huge mistake in the second overtime that led to Glen Murray's winning goal at 9:27.
After being slashed by Travis Green, Kovalev was shaking his hand in an attempt to draw a penalty and lost sight of the puck. Canadiens defenseman Sheldon Souray tried to grab the loose puck, but collided with Kovalev. Murray swooped in and beat Jose Theodore with a wrist shot for a 4-3 victory that put the Bruins one win away from eliminating their longtime rivals.
"There's nothing you can say about that," said Kovalev, whose right hand was wrapped in a bag of ice. "We ended up in the middle of the ice and Sheldon ended up losing the puck."
Souray tried to explain what happened.
"I saw he got slashed," Souray said. "Maybe it should be a penalty, but do you stop playing? In double overtime? I was just caught by surprise that he left the puck there and there was nobody behind him. So obviously you want to go back and get the puck."
Now the Canadiens have to regroup and find a way to get the series back home for Game 6.
"You know, it's a loss, but you need four games to win the series," Ribeiro said. "We can't change what happened, we can change what's coming up."
History is not on Montreal's side.
The Bruins are 14-0 when leading a playoff series 3-1, while the Canadiens are 0-12 when trailing a series by the same margin.
Another concern for Montreal is that Boston's top line of Murray, Knuble and Joe Thornton seems to be getting stronger as the series goes on. That trio registered 17 shots on goal Tuesday after having totaled 15 in the first three games.
Knuble scored his second goal of the playoffs in Game 4 and Murray had a goal and an assist for his first points of the postseason. Though Thornton is still without a point, the Bruins captain played by far his most effective game of the series with five shots on goal.
Thornton was hampered by an "upper body injury" early in the series.
"It was awesome," Green said. "It was evident from the first shift. You can see Joe is coming around and feeling better. It was obvious. The whole bench, right from the get-go, I heard guys saying and I said it, `Joe's on tonight, so let's jump on.' "
While Boston's top line has struggled most of this series, the second unit of Michael Nylander, Sergei Samsonov and Patrice Bergeron has been the team's best.
After missing Game 3 with the flu, Nylander returned Tuesday and scored his team-leading third goal of the series. Samsonov set up Nylander's goal for his fifth assist of the postseason, and Bergeron has contributed a goal and two assists.
Before committing his huge gaffe, Kovalev had been one of Montreal's best players in the series. He scored his third goal of the playoffs Tuesday after scoring once in 13 regular-season games with Montreal.
The Canadiens could be without defenseman Stephane Quintal for Game 5. Quintal had to be helped off the ice with an apparent hip injury in the second period after he was upended by Boston's Hal Gill.
A win Thursday would put the Bruins in the conference semifinals for the first time 1999, when they lost to Buffalo.

NEW YORK (AP) - A British man testifying in the terror trial of Osama bin Laden's son-in-law said Tuesday he flew on planes over the Middle East and Europe with explosives in a shoe after the Sept. 11 attacks but didn't detonate them because he was saving the bomb for an attack over America.
Saajid Badat revealed details of the plot as he testified for a second day at the New York trial of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, bin Laden's son-in-law and al-Qaida's spokesman after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Badat testified he wore a shoe bomb on at least one flight from Karachi, Pakistan, to Holland and another from Holland to Great Britain in December 2001, choosing not to detonate it because he wanted to use it for an attack against an American aircraft.
He said he was left with only one shoe because he gave his other shoe-bomb in early December 2001 to some Malaysian men who wanted to blow open a plane's cockpit door and carry out a Sept. 11-style hijacking of their own. Afterward, he flew from Pakistan to Holland and then on to Great Britain.
"I was wearing the shoe," he said, referring to the shoe bomb.
Prosecutors are using Badat's testimony to show Abu Ghaith played a pivotal role with al-Qaida when he warned Americans "the storm of aircrafts will not stop" on videotapes widely distributed after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Abu Ghaith could face life in prison if he is convicted of conspiring to kill Americans and providing material support to al-Qaida. He is the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure to face trial on U.S. soil since Sept. 11.
Badat described enthusiasm among al-Qaida recruits after the Sept. 11 attacks.
At one point on cross examination, he was asked about a moment after Sept. 11 when he and others laughed as professed mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed crossed the World Trade Center's twin towers off a list of the world's tallest buildings.
"Three thousand plus Americans dead was humorous to you?" defense attorney Stanley Cohen asked.
"Unfortunately, yes," he said with a sheepish expression.
Badat said his eagerness to carry out a suicide mission following more than three years with al-Qaida operatives in Afghanistan wilted when he visited his parents in Gloucester, England, in December 2001 and they asked what he'd done in Afghanistan.
"You'd better not be one of those sleepers," Badat said his father told him.
His mother warned that she "wouldn't want my son to be one of those sleepers," he recalled.
"It was then I decided to back out of the mission," Badat said in testimony from London shown on video screens in a Manhattan courtroom.
