MUSIC; On His Own, A Rolling Stone This Dylan Isn't
By ARIEL SWARTLEY
Published: October 15, 2000
LOS ANGELES— IT'S hard to imagine a location more conducive to chilly reflections on the aging of rock 'n' roll than this corner office high above the Sunset Strip. There are the lightly misted views of Century City law offices and Beverly Hills verdure; the desk, barren of all implements except a long-barreled pair of binoculars; the brass and crystal reliquaries commemorating Jimmy Buffet tours. But intimations of mortality are easily stirred in members of my graying generation by the fact that it is now necessary when mentioning a Dylan song to specify whether one means the work of Bob, Woodstock Nation's apocalyptic auteur, or of his youngest son, Jakob, the lead singer and Grammy-winning songwriter for the contemporary rock group the Wallflowers.
That the younger Mr. Dylan was born in the Woodstock year itself, 1969, has not lessened those intimations. And he has a sense that can only be called familial for the dip or swivel of melody that will turn an image as simple as a single headlight into a provocative pronouncement -- as well as an ear for the cadence that lurks as its own song in the hearts of words like leopard skin, say, or Babylon. What becomes evident in conversation is that Mr. Dylan, himself a father of three, is not without intimations of his own.
Healthily lean as opposed to rock-star-skinny, he arrives for the interview in midnight-blue jeans that in their stiffness and stovepipe shape seem either to hark back to an era when denim still spelled solidarity with the working man or to speak to a cool present-day formality. In either case, they eschew any identification with the tatters, embroidery or flamboyant, distressed decades his father gave voice to. Mr. Dylan's manner, too, is upright, though good humored, even wry. There have been times, he allows, that he has had to remind nostalgic interviewers that he has a new record, ''Breach,'' the Wallflowers' first in four years.
The multimillion-selling ''Bringing Down the Horse'' (1996) bristled with assurance, its hits like ''Sixth Avenue Heartache'' and ''Three Marlenas'' tangles of images whose propulsive melodies making the absence of narrative negligible. But ''Breach'' seems, oddly, the work of a younger man -- despite the gruff foghorn of his voice, which is eerily reminiscent of his father's. Certainly the arrangements are sparer, on occasion almost fresh-scrubbed, with a single guitar line edging toward styles that Mr. Dylan refers to as ''old school.'' (Given that the term is routinely applied to artists from the late 1980's, one might call Mr. Dylan's example, the Delta bluesman Mississippi John Hurt, ''dawn-of-time school.'')
And while the songs refrain from committing outright confession, many, like ''Hand Me Down'' or ''Baby Bird,'' open themselves to a personal reading. Perhaps it's simply that his images of vulnerability are often youthful -- ''those days before I met you, girl, were just like ice cream falling down on the shoes of my world'' -- or that the agonies of self-identification are not the sole property of adolescence. They can be as easily engendered by sudden acclaim.
The writing, he admits, did not come easily. ''Bringing Down the Horse'' was successful enough to keep Mr. Dylan and the rest of the Wallflowers -- Rami Jaffee, on keyboards, Greg Richling, on bass, Michael Ward, on guitar, and Mario Calire, on drums -- on the road for two and a half years. Having had the opposite experience in 1992, when their debut album, ''The Wallflowers, '' plagued by muddy vocals, slid rapidly out of sight, pulling their record contract with it, the group was in no mood to argue with momentum. But the long-running performance left Mr. Dylan feeling ''thoroughly unimpressed with myself.''
''When you're in the middle of writing a song, you can come up with this whole web of stuff only you know how to get through,'' he said. ''That's very entertaining for me to do that. But two years later I have to sing the song, and I've forgotten how to get through the web, and it becomes frustrating. Like, how come I didn't know that the last verse is really the same as the second verse? If I have a point, maybe it should be simpler. Because if I no longer really understand what I'm talking about, I don't know how anybody else could.''
His dissatisfaction went beyond nuts and bolts. The songwriters he speaks of admiringly are a diverse, not to mention grizzled, group: Tom Waits, Dan Penn, Lefty Frizzell. ''I felt a kind of connection to them,'' he said. ''I started to wonder if anybody was ever going to gather that from the songs I was writing -- because they felt very impersonal.''
Indeed, his dissatisfaction stretched even further, to just what it was he thought he was doing. ''In one sense it's thrilling to hear your record just sold another million copies,'' he said. ''But what does that mean? You end up wrestling with it. You don't really know how to feel. Are there six million really smart, cool people buying records in America?'' Is it enough, in other words, for the son of a cultural radical to be a mass-market star?

Hi All,
I'm still having this problem that I can't seem to figure out. My website looks pretty much like I want it, but I still have one issue to resolve:
I have a menu on the left side of every page but the homepage
When I make the width of my browser small (emulating smaller screens than my 27" iMac :-)), a horizontal scroll bar appears and the content of the page can be scrolled over the menu. I would like to prevent the content from scrolling over the menu.
I've looked at this site which basically does what I want (except for having the menu on the right side instead of the left), but I cannot figure out what is different about that one when comparing it to mine when using Firebug.
I hope that someone can help me out here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

text: Politics Political news Texas Agrees to List Same-Sex Spouses on Birth and Death Certificates By Emilie Mutert • Aug 10, 2015 Marjorie Kamys Cotera / Texas Tribune In an emergency motion filed Monday in federal court in San Antonio, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked that the court rescind the order requiring the AG to appear in court Wednesday to face possible contempt charges for disobeying a ban on state same-sex marriage bans in a case involving a death certificate for a same-sex couple. Despite Court Ruling, Voter ID Law Still In Effect For Now By Ben Philpott • Aug 10, 2015 whiteafrican via flickr The State of Texas has yet to file an appeal over a ruling against the state's voter identification law. Last week the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the law violated the Voting Rights Act. But where do things stand now, and does the ruling mean Texans don't have to bring a photo ID when they vote this fall? AG Paxton May Be Held in Contempt of Court for Disobeying Same-Sex Marriage Ruling By Emilie Mutert • Aug 5, 2015 Marjorie Kamys Cotera / Texas Tribune Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton may face contempt of court charges next week for his part in denying a married same-sex couple a death certificate acknowledging their marriage. A lawsuit was filed against Paxton today in federal court in San Antonio by James Stone-Hoskins, on behalf of himself and his partner, John Allen Stone-Hoskins, who died in January. James wants the death certificate to note that he and John Allen were married — the couple wed in New Mexico in 2014 — but as of now it lists him as a 'significant other.' Ruling Offers Texas Voter ID Critics Narrow Victory By Jim Malewitz • Aug 5, 2015 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon for KUT News From the Texas Tribune: Texas' four-year-old voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act but is not a "poll tax" barred under the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court has ruled. The Ticket: Getting Ready for the 1st GOP Debate By Ben Philpott • Aug 5, 2015 FOX News This week on The Ticket: Debate Prep! Republican consultant and staffer for the Rick Perry 2012 Presidential campaign Deirdre Delisi takes us into the campaign back rooms to tell us what candidates are doing to get ready for the first Republican Presidential primary debate. She'll also relive what it was like backstage when the former Texas Governor forgot that third government agency he wanted to eliminate. And on Stump Interrupted, The Texas Tribune's Jay Root and KUT's Ben Philpott take us back in time for a review of classic debate moments. The Ticket: John Kasich Joins the Race By Ben Philpott • Jul 30, 2015 Picture courtesy Kasich Presidential Campaign This week on The Ticket: We welcome Ohio Governor John Kasich to the GOP primary field with a review of his announcement speech. And with just days until the first GOP primary debate, we'll talk with senior writer and analyst Harry Enten from FiveThirtyEight.com about the latest polls and who's on or off the debate stage. Paxton: Texas Planned Parenthood Video 'Consistent' With Others By Alexa Ura • Jul 29, 2015 Marjorie Kamys Cotera / Texas Tribune From the Texas Tribune: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton confirmed on Wednesday that a video obtained by his office as part of its investigation into Planned Parenthood's practices is "consistent" with other undercover videos released by an anti-abortion group of the organization's executives discussing fetal tissue donations. Testifying before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, Paxton said his office had "gained possession" of "hours of recordings" involving a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas as part of its inquiry into Planned Parenthood's practices regarding fetal tissue donation in Texas. Paxton declined to go into specifics about the recordings and how they were obtained. Instead, Paxton detailed a recent visit by AG investigators to a Planned Parenthood facility in Houston where they witnessed how the abortion provider handles fetal remains before they are sent to a contractor who disposes them. Appeals Court Rejects One Count in Perry Indictment By Patrick Svitek • Jul 24, 2015 Marjorie Kamys Cotera/Texas Tribune From the Texas Tribune: A state appeals court on Friday ruled against one of two counts in the indictment against former Gov. Rick Perry. The 3rd Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin specifically found a problem with the second count, which alleges Perry coerced a public servant. The court upheld the first count, which accuses Perry of abusing his power. Perry's legal team called the ruling a "clear step towards victory for the rule of law." The Ticket: The Summer of Trump By Ben Philpott • Jul 23, 2015 Courtesy the Donald Trump for President Campaign This week on The Ticket: It's our ALL-TRUMP episode. KUT's Ben Philpott and The Texas Tribune's Jay Root will spend the entire show examining the Republican candidate that's taken over the 2016 race. We'll interview Des Moines Register Reporter Josh Hafner about his coverage of Trump in Iowa. And we'll speak with the chairman of the Federation of Hispanic Republicans, about how Trump's campaign has damaged the relationship between Hispanics and the GOP. Congress to Vote on Sanctuary Cities By Julián Aguilar & Abby Livingston • Jul 22, 2015 Bob Daemmrich/Texas Tribune From the Texas Tribune: Republicans in Texas who grouse that the federal government doesn't enforce immigration laws might soon have Congress to thank for beefing up enforcement at the state and local levels. The U.S. House is on track to vote later this week on legislation that would cut off federal funding for cities that don't enforce immigration laws. Most members of Congress interviewed by The Texas Tribune on Tuesday had not yet read the legislation — dubbed the Enforce the Law for Sanctuary Cities Act — but said they were considering it ahead of the likely Thursday vote. "I think we need to obey the law, but I want to see what sort of language they have on it," said U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Laredo Democrat. The Rich and Disturbing History Of American Political Demagoguery By Emily Donahue • Jul 21, 2015 MSNBC via http://on.msnbc.com/1VmeW8n From Texas Standard: Former Texas Governor and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry recently confronted Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, calling it an act of "Trump-ism," which he defined as "a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense." Michael Signer wrote a book on demagoguery, "Demagogue: The Fight to Save Democracy From its Worst Enemies." He's also commented on various news sites about the topic. Signer shared his thoughts on demagoguery and its relation to the current political race for the presidency with the Texas Standard. Donald Trump: Political Figure or Pop Icon? By Lucia Benavides • Jul 21, 2015 Gage Skidmore via flickr From Texas Standard: Some say the crowded contest for the 2016 GOP presidential nod is more spectacle than substance. While there are plenty of candidates to cover, the lion's share of the spotlight has fallen on someone who's never even held elected office: Donald Trump. Huffington Post editors say that Trump's run is more entertainment than politics, so they recently announced that there will be no more Trump in the politics section. Instead, they say, news about Trump and his campaign will go straight to the entertainment section. Ryan Grimm, Washington bureau chief for the Huffington Post, says the online publication has always been a mix of high- and low-brow news. The Ticket: Breaking Down the Scott Walker Campaign By Ben Philpott • Jul 16, 2015 courtesy Scott Walker for President campaign This week on the podcast: The Texas Tribune's Jay Root and KUT's Ben Philpott break down the campaign announcement speech of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. And to help explain even more about the latest entry into the crowded GOP field, we'll talk to Craig Gilbert, the Washington D.C. bureau chief for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and writer of the Wisconsin Voter Blog. Campaign Donations Report a Mixed Bag for Perry By Ben Philpott • Jul 13, 2015 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT News Former Governor Rick Perry has yet to separate himself from the pack of Republican presidential candidates in opinion polls — but the pack may be pulling away from him in an important category: fundraising. The latest campaign finance reports from the presidential field are due Wednesday, and former Texas Governor Rick Perry released his fundraising haul over the weekend. It was a mixed initial report. His campaign only brought in just a bit more than one million dollars. Sure, he's only been fundraising for a month. But to provide some contrast, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush picked up about $11 million in two weeks. The Ticket: Chris Christie Joins the GOP Field By Ben Philpott & Jay Root • Jul 9, 2015 Chris Christie campaign This week on the podcast: Ben Philpott and the Texas Tribune's Jay Root break down the campaign announcement speech of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. And we find out more about the man and what kind of campaign he could run from WNYC and New Jersey Public Radio's Matt Katz, creator of The Christie Tracker blog and podcast. Lawyers Threaten to File Complaint Against Paxton For Same-Sex Marriage Response By Sophia Bollag • Jul 3, 2015 Laura Buckman/Texas Tribune From the Texas Tribune: Roughly 150 Texas attorneys have signed on to a letter threatening to file a complaint with the State Bar of Texas against Attorney General Ken Paxton for his response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage. "It seems to us that your edict to encourage Texas clerks to violate a direct ruling of the United States Supreme Court violates" the State Bar's rules requiring attorneys to uphold the U.S. Constitution, the letter states. Paxton's office did not immediately respond to requests seeking comment on Friday morning. After the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide, he issued an opinion telling Texas clerks they did not have to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples if it violated their religious beliefs — though he suggested that they could face litigation. Prosecutors Developing Criminal Case Against Paxton By Patrick Svitek • Jul 2, 2015 Callie Richmond for the Texas Tribune From the Texas Tribune: The potential criminal case against Attorney General Ken Paxton is apparently growing more serious, with the state's top lawyer hiring heavyweight legal counsel of his own as special prosecutors prepare to take felony charges before a Collin County grand jury. Late Wednesday, special prosecutor Kent Schaffer said he and co-counsel Brian Wice plan to start presenting evidence to the grand jury in less than a month that Paxton violated the Texas Securities Act. "We'll be pursuing an indictment for first-degree felony securities fraud," Schaffer said, confirming a WFAA report. Jim Obergefell: I'm 'Humbled To Be a Part' of Landmark Same-Sex Marriage Case By Nathan Bernier • Jun 29, 2015 Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon/KUT News The plaintiff at the heart of last week's historic Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage is trekking the country on a multi-state tour that brought him to Austin today. Jim Obergefell is the named plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges. What the Decision on Same-Sex Marriage Means to One Texas Family By Rhonda Fanning • Jun 26, 2015 Texas for Marriage/facebook From Texas Standard: The Supreme Court issued a 5-4 ruling in favor of same-sex marriage today. All 50 states are now required to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Ronald "Ronnie" Macklin and his partner, Fritz Johnson-Macklin, are one of those couples. From the Austin suburb of Pflugerville, Ronnie joined Texas Standard to talk about his family's story – just minutes after learning about the Supreme Court decision. Supreme Court: Texas Reinforced Segregated Housing By Liz Crampton • Jun 25, 2015 Supreme Court of the United States From the Texas Tribune: The biggest federal housing subsidy program in Texas — which awarded $9.7 billion in tax credits from 1990 to 2011 — effectively has been reinforcing segregated housing, the U.S. Supreme Court found Thursday. Divided along ideological lines, the high court ruled 5-4 against the state of Texas, which administers the federally backed subsidy program. "Much progress remains to be made in our Nation's continuing struggle against racial isolation," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion. "We must remain wary of policies that reduce homeowners to nothing more than their race." Pages« first ‹ previous … 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 … next › last »

Released: Jan 01st, 1993
Running Time: 68

Cast: Rick Blaine, Cal Jammer, Tianna Taylor, Porsche Lynn, Austin Moore, Jake Steed, Justine (I), Joyce (I)
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
For all you see of Tianna Taylor, they could have just as easily called this Tempting Lance Heywood, who also has only one scene. Tianna appears with Cal Jammer at the end of this series of unrelated segments. Not only does Cal appear at the end, but he also gets it there when Tianna rams a strap-on dildo up his butt. Ah, what some people will do for great art!
Rick Blaine likewise is made to suffer for his craft when Porsche Lynn stuffs a sex-toy up his rear. Bizarre, yes, but not very sexy. Even the four-man/two-woman gangbang isn't very well done. Boxcover should attract rentals, since most consumers are savvy enough not to expect the covergirl in every scene.

14 ways to add value when curating content
SyReach's curator insight, July 7, 2014 4:53 AM
SyReach Notes now offers a full coverage of personal KM needs: Seek with integrated watch module and search engines, Sense with note and article edition, linking and knowledge building. Share by email or publish to Scoop.it selected resources linked to your articles!
I thought the author was another Nancy White who also does visual facilitation and works in the area of development. But it is another Nancy White who works on education.
I like how she relates curation to the Blooms Taxonomy (the triangle diagram in the article) and how curation is a higher level of thinking/learning - requires synthesis and evaluation, not just classifying.
Robin Good has more:
Robin Good: What does curation mean from an educational viewpoint? And what is the key difference between "collecting" and "curating".
She truly distills some key traits of curation in a way that is clear and comprehensible to anyone.
She writes: "The first thing I realized is that in order to have value-added benefits to curating information, the collector needs to move beyond just classifying the objects under a certain theme to deeper thinking through a) synthesis and b) evaluation of the collected items.
How are they connected?"
Excellent definition.
And then she also frames perfectly the relevance of "context" for any meaningful curation project by writing: "I believe when we curate, organization moves beyond thematic to contextual – as we start to build knowledge and understanding with each new resource that we curate.
Themes have a common unifying element – but don't necessarily explain the "why."
Theme supports a central idea – Context allows the learner to determine why that idea (or in this case, resource) is important.
So, as collecting progresses into curating, context becomes essential to determine what to keep, and what to discard."
But there's a lot more insight distilled in this article as Nancy captures with elegance the difference between collecting for a personal interest and curating for a specific audience.
She finally steals my full endorsement for this article by discretely inquirying how great a value it would be to allow students to "curate" the domains of interest they need to master.
Excellent. Highly recommended. 9/10

Diabetes Health Center
1 in 3 Americans at Risk for Diabetes
Prediabetes Not Benign
The analyzed data were taken from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics. NHANES is the only national health survey to examine both diagnosed diabetes and undiagnosed disease, confirmed by physical exams that include blood glucose testing.
Over the years studied, roughly 26% of adults in the U.S. had impaired fasting glucose, meaning that blood sugar levels were higher than normal after an overnight fast, but not high enough to be considered diabetes. This condition is also known as impaired glucose tolerance and prediabetes.
The prediabetes condition has no symptoms, but Cowie points out that it is far from benign.
"These people have a very high risk of developing diabetes within a decade, and even if they don't they are still at high risk for having a heart attack or stroke," she says.
Positive lifestyle changes can often prevent or delay the onset of diabetes in people with prediabetes. Study after study has shown that losing modest amounts of weight and getting even a moderate amount of exercise on a daily basis can make a big difference.
"Even doing something simple like walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week can lower risk," she says.
Know Your Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes
But people who don't know they are at risk may be less inclined to make diabetes-preventing lifestyle changes.
The list of potential risk factors is long, and people with any of the risks should discuss diabetes testing with their health care provider, the report concludes. The risk factors include:
- Having a family history of diabetes.
- Being overweight.
- Having an inactive lifestyle, meaning that they exercise less than 3 times a week.
- Being a member of a high-risk ethnic population (African-American, Hispanic/Latino American, American Indian, Alaska Native or Pacific Islander, and some Asian- Americans).
- Having high blood pressure.
- Having low HDL (good) cholesterol or high triglyceride level.
- Having a history of diseases of the blood vessels to the heart, brain, or legs.
- Having had pregnancy-related diabetes.
- Having polycystic ovary syndrome.
- Being age 45 and older.

What is the meaning of "to have masses said for someone's soul"? I failed to find it in my dictionary. And grammatically, is it correct to say, "to have masses (which are) said for someone's soul"?

A mass is a rite of the (usually Catholic) church. The priest who performs it "says mass".
It used to be (and may still be sometimes) that a priest would be asked to perform a mass on behalf of someone who had died, with the intention of benefitting the soul of the deceased person - often of reducing their punishment in the afterlife. If a person requested a number of these then he would "have masses said for [the deceased person]'s soul".
Perfectly grammatically acceptable.
(With apologies to Catholics for the over-simplification of the description of the mass).

Goldcorp (GG) -4% AH after lowering its 2012 gold production guidance to 2.35M-2.45M oz., below prior guidance of 2.6M. The lower production will lead to an average cash cost of $310-340/oz. on a by-product basis and $625-$650/oz. on a co-product basis, below prior guidance of $250-$275 and $550-$600. Goldcorp blames de-stressing activities at its Red Lake mine, and water shortages at its Peñasquito mine.

When I display all of these posts on the same page, the slideshow plays the first one for all 4 when they should all be different.

We run VMWare vSphere 4.1, and VMWare Data Recovery 1.2. We have a weekly window with no backups happening, and due to some instabilities, we would like to try scheduling an automatic weekly reboot of the VMWare Data Recovery appliance.
More specific details: - VMWare Data Recovery 1.2 seems to be based on CentOS 5.2. - We use NFS for data storage. The appliance sees this as local storage, but the drive is actually stored in a different building. Seems to work great, and so far has been significantly faster and more stable than CIFS (which we used before).
I have tried scheduling the reboot using /etc/cron.d within the VDR appliance itself:
45 1 * * sun /usr/local/bin/custom_reboot.sh >> /var/log/reboot.log
/bin/echo "==================================="
/bin/echo "Rebooting server now."
I also restarted crond, /etc/init.d/crond restart However, /var/log/reboot.log stays empty, and uptime shows that no reboot ever happened.
What am I missing?

There's no better way to highlight the spring harvest then a fresh salad. This one is full of carrots, asparagus, herbs, lemon and farro, or wheat berry, to give it a little more body. Farro is a whole grain so it's a great source of fiber and complex carbohydrates. Serve this at your Easter brunch or lunch as a hearty, nutrient-dense side dish! The best part is that it is tastiest when served cold and you can make it a day or two in advance.
This recipe includes the basic ingredients, but feel free to add more veggies like zucchini, green peas, snap peas, green beans, mushrooms, green onions or other spring vegetables

Pets are a critical part of many of our clients lives. Not only do they provide unconditional love and companionship, but they also can help with those who tend to "isolate" or are suffering from depression. They provide a reason to care for another living thing - that is dependent upon us for their care.
With the help of the Banfield Charitable Trust and several generous veterinary clinics in Portland, we will be able to provide free veterinary services for those of our clients who have pets, but are not able to pay for them.
That along with the availability of monthly food boxes from Esther's Pantry, household goods from Tod's Corner gives significant support to those of our clients who need additional assistance.

Wow, feeling a little defensive, are we SW Staffer?
But, his/her rant does beg a couple of question perhaps they could answer here:
How much sponsorship has NWFF requested from Seattle Weekly after the New Times buyout versus before the buyout?
Do you work in The Weekly's Public Relations or Marketing Department? If so, would you consider your sour grapes rant a good Customer Service strategy?
Have you ever even been inside NWFF?
Awaiting a response (but not holding my breath).
Yay Annie! You FIGHT for your job, girl! Because if the Weekly's experiment in outsourcing film reviews DOES work (i.e. that no one complains and people enjoy the well-written reviews by out-of-town critics)....well, I'm sure that Dan and Tim have GREAT lay-off packages.
Interesting. Certainly the Weekly can be lame. However, if I were the Stranger, I would be more worried about the competition. In case yall have not noticed, The Weekly's reporting is getting better and their stories more interesting. Maybe their new editor and their new hires are changing some things there. The Stranger still has the edge, but I would be more worried about keeping that edge and keeping your reporters hungry for good stories. Activism, gossip, catty hissy fits, and capitol hill music and performance art stuff is cool, but good stories about other neighborhoods and other social classess is what I like and is the reason why I read your weekly and is what keeps weeklies vibrant. Im just saying, yall better be careful, and stick to breaking and writing good stories cuz you certainly dont want to become as lame as your sister weekly, the Portland Mercury.
Oh, Sam. How we've missed you! I feel like you're my cheerleader and I'm the entire football team.
Yikes. That brings to mind an image I could have lived without.
SeMe @3: The Stranger has little to worry about, the Weekly will nevermore do any real, regular local news reporting, beyond "magazine-style" investigative features, that is. Good on them for those, they're fine things. But that's essentially the NT Law handed down. You'll see relatively little from neighborhoods, nothing from the mayor's office, little if any commentary on how things are run around here. See any articles in the Weekly on the viaduct? Oh, two, about how the vote should have been a poll (after ballots have already gone out), or how using signatures could result in errors... nothing about the actual options on or off the table, nor anything about what we should do as a city. "Nothing Actionable" seems to be the new motto.
SW'er is just a lame corporate promotions guy/gal. (S)he has probably lived in Seattle for less than 6 months and has never heard of any of those directors. So I wouldn't judge the Weekly on this one response.
Are you seriously taking this seriously, as though someone from the Weekly would honestly use this as a forum for sniping at The Stranger and NWFF? It's crazy, crazy clear that this commenter not only didn't come from 1008 Western Avenue but also has absolutely no knowledge of how publications work. Case in point:
Maybe if they ran better movies over there we would give FIlm Forum an ad
"Give" them an ad? In my world, which many people live in, folks pay for ads. Especially in mass-conglomerate-owned weeklies.
"Ignorant, stupid, and blind"?! You got a problem with blind people? WTF? You are the one who is ignorant and stupid.
SeMe #3:
I agree, the Weekly has gotten a lot better. Judging from all the sniping, The Stranger has noticed as well. There's an under-supply of well written, smart, and informative journalism in Seattle, so it's nice to see the Weekly step up.
Holmgang #6:
Re Viaduct: The latest edition of the Weekly reports the varying perspectives of Sodo businesses that actually use the viaduct for shipping.
@#8 -- you will have to forgive the stranger, they're new to this whole "internet" thing. they only recently got a blog, figured out what NSFW means, duped CraigsList's biz model, and were about 10 years late with their forums. they know not the beast that is eating them.
This "pissed sw-er" is a "pissed p-ssy." Oooh - you hide under your identity yet take brief yet sweeping swipes at both the Stranger and NWFF in the same post. I'm mystified that you haven't sent out a second response to react to the subsequent posts in response to your passive aggressive contribution.
And if you are truly a SW employee calling out Seiwerath for wanting publicity, big fucking deal. Publicity is publicity - anyone who wants to promote their events, films, etc. will use all possible outlets, regardless of their preferences. Don't hate on him for giving SW money to do so. That's your bottom line, isn't it?!?! Regardless of his public opinions of your publication, shouldn't this be your last laugh?! Yay - you get his $$ AND the satisfaction of putting him in his place. It really should be win-win for you, hmmm?!
In case you haven't noticed, the Stranger broke the two biggest news stories of the week this week: The Storm's new owners kicking $1.1 million to Gary Bauer's anti-gay-marriage group & Peter Steinbrueck's big announcement about not running for reelection.
It seems to me we've left the SW in the dust and we're scrapping with the dailies.
Indeed, we also have a scoop on a rash of police reports focusing on a new Capitol Hill Club, Club Lagoon, that I imagine will be in the PI or Sea Times soon enough.
I've noticed, and all Im saying is that in case YOU have not noticed, the Weekly's writing is getting better. I didnt say is better than the Stranger at this point, I still think you guys do the better features and concentrate on more interesting things, and is what keeps me reading the Stranger. I am not really interested in gossip reporting and campy fights over crap. All I was saying is that the Stranger should keep doing what it does best: Good reporting. I dont think you read my post. Maybe they want to be the next LA Weekly, theyre not there yet, but I would say they have not been left in the dust as they were in the past.
Actually, I think "gossip reporting and campy fights over crap" is how an alt-weekly stays fresh. If you get bogged down in too much old-fashioned "good reporting" you eventually TURN INTO the Weekly; you become boring and wonkish. All things in moderation. The Stranger has ALWAYS had a juvenile, campy edge to it, which is a major reason I continue to read it.
PS: blind people are terrific, but maybe don't make the best movie critics, seeing as how they can't see the movies.
The Fnarfmeister #16
"Actually, I think "gossip reporting and campy fights over crap" is how an alt-weekly stays fresh."
God, I hope not. The stuff that keeps me coming back (e.g. Dan Savage, Mistresse Matisse, Cienna Madrid, news stories like the one on Club Lagoon) somehow manages to be interesting and edgy without being juvenile, catty or belligerent.
And yes, Josh, you all deserve props for the news stories you broke this week.
I guess we all like it and read it for different reasons FNARF. Ill consent that.
I dont think Im looking for old fashioned reporting. I dont think the dailies here are very good at getting inside a story. And thats a gap the alt weeklies can fill. I mean look at the LA Weekly, thats a hella of a paper and they really get into the heart of LA with good investigative reporting. Their piece on Prison gangs is some serious shit.
I personally like Valdez's stories on South Park boxing, crime, Prentice, Barnett's stuff on city Hall and transportation, though her feminist rants are a wee silly. I enjoy Mudede's writing and find him to be highly original and I wish he would write more on the CD, I like the hip hop column and think its one of the best around, I like Savage's writing and Feit can be ok, but sometimes whiny. Overall the Stranger is a good solid paper, but all Im saying is that the Weekly is starting to look and read better. Hell, I never read it before and now I look for it. Im not saying the Weekly is better than the Stranger, but if it becomes as good or close to the LA weekly, they will start attracting the talent.
Maybe the SW could start a new column "Uptight SW Staffer" and give advice on how we should ignore anything local and upbraid Seattle for actually: a. having class, b. having a fondness for real films, and c. being able to speak and understand more than one language.
Personally, I don't see why they're hatin'.
Josh Feit do you want a gold star? Go look up narcissism.
Poor paranoid Josh: "Broke" those stories? Somebody called up and gave you the Sonics story; the other "scoop" was publicly announced by Steinbrueck. What your mom said has been borne out: masterbate and you'll go blind.
I also understand your ability to spell is one of the first things to go too, BobO...
This is from your first post, above, Cmte:
"But, his/her rant does beg a couple of question perhaps they could answer here:"
Guess that confirms your suspicion.
*Gasp!* Oh no! How will I ever explain it to me mum?
And BTW, you're at "strike two" - at least stop playing with yourself long enough to spell my name correctly.
To Cmte or Comte: Your name is misspelled either way.
Is that two or three foul tips?
Gee, really? So, you're an expert on geneology now? Funny, I guess nobody in our family noticed we'd been misspelling our own name for the past 400 or so years.
Yeah, definitely "strike three". Go back to the bench - and keep your hands away from your nether regions.

I'm new to the group and first want to say I'm so sorry for all of your losses.
I had a missed miscarriage a few years ago and now I'm concerned about an ectopic. I always get my period on cd 28. This month on the 29th cd I got a few drops of pinkish blood and then some brown mucus like discharge (sorry tmi). I felt like I had the usual signs of cramping like my usual period but all i got was very minimal spotting over 5 hours. I took an early response test on he 29th cd (saturday)and got a bfp.last night I had some shooting pain cramps but nothing that was serious or lasted long. Also, I don't think it could have been implantation bleeding because my cycles are so regular I think I usually ovulate around the 14th.
I have to wait a few weeks before I can see the dr because I'm waiting for a referred from military dr. For a private dr. So I wanted to know if the light pink spotting at the time of your period is a bad sign. With my missed miscarriage I didn't get the light spotting until 3 months. With my dd I never got any spotting.
Thank you.

Ponting unfussed by captaincy debate
Ricky Ponting knows he may be playing for his future as Australia's Test captain over the next five days in Perth.
The stakes could be no higher for the hosts, 1-0 down and one more defeat away from seeing England retain the Ashes with two matches still to play.
Ponting, who will be 36 on Sunday, has already lost the Ashes twice as captain in England but regained them too with a 5-0 whitewash at home four years ago.
He insists he has spent little time thinking about the fragility or otherwise of his tenure as captain.
But he said: "It's a decision that's completely out of my hands.
"I'll do my best as a player to make sure I score runs, and lead the team in the best way possible - and the powers-that-be will make those decisions, I guess at the end of the series or after this Test match, whenever that may be."
Ponting can help himself and his team by returning to form with the bat at number three, having made only nine runs in two innings - including a first-ball duck - in the innings defeat in the second Test in Adelaide.
"We're all just focused on this game. It's no good looking further ahead, and we can't afford to look further ahead," he added.
"We know we've been deficient in some areas in the first couple of games - and if we improve on those we have a great chance of winning.
"I know a lot of our success revolves around how well our batting does at the top of the order, and so far my input in the series has not been what it's needed to be for us to win games.
"Purely and simply, I need to stand up; I need to score runs, and we need to play better cricket than we have in the last two Tests."
Ponting senses nonetheless that England may be vulnerable at this venue, where they have always had a conspicuous lack of success.
In particular, he appears to doubt whether the tourists' fast bowler James Anderson can be at his best after travelling round the world twice in a week to be at the birth of his daughter - and arriving back in Perth less than three days before start of play at the WACA.
"I think there's a great opportunity for us here," he said.
"Anderson - much as he's talking it up, not really worrying - we've all done those flights in the past, and it takes a couple of days to get over them.
"I honestly feel that the pitch conditions here are as foreign to English players as probably anywhere else in the world, and I hope we can exploit that this week."
Before then, though, Australia must decide on the make-up of their bowling attack.
Like his opposite number Andrew Strauss, Ponting is leaving it late to pick - in his case - between an all-pace battery and a debut for rookie left-arm spinner Michael Beer.
"We haven't got a team yet," said Ponting. "We've had a good look at the wicket this afternoon.
"It's changed a little bit since we've been here today so we want to just want to have a look at it again tomorrow before we finalise what our XI will be."
"(It's) still particularly grassy and I've had a good chat to (curator) Cameron (Sutherland) today about the wicket.
"It's different grass than there's been on the wicket before, so we've got a lot of things that we've got to think about yet before we finalise it.
"Looking at the wicket you'd think there's going to be a result in this game, so obviously that has to be a positive one for us or it's game, set and match."
The altered character of a pitch renowned for its pace and bounce has left both captains in a quandary.
"With a bit of grass in the wicket, there is every chance that the ball will stay newer for longer than it does in most other places - so you'd think it would swing a fair bit more," Ponting reasoned.
"So you'd think it's going to swing a bit more, so we've got the bases covered there with (Ryan) Harris and (Ben) Hilfenhaus being good swing bowlers.
"It's not the thicker sort of coarse grass that was on the wicket here the last couple of years - it's sort of a finer leaf grass.
"When you've got wickets like that, the ball tends to skip off that grass a bit more rather than holding as much, so that's why it's important to actually get a good feel of it tomorrow morning and just see how hard it is on the surface."
"(Selection) is just about what we think is going to be the best four bowlers for us on that wicket - it's as simple as that.
"The fact that Michael's a debutant and whatever, it doesn't come into it. If he's in our four best bowlers for what wicket we see tomorrow morning, then he'll play."

Former caregiver accused of fraudApril 26,2013Former caregiver accused of fraud
BRATTLEBORO A former caregiver for an elderly Vermont couple has been accused of defrauding them by using their credit card and withdrawing from their investment account.
Jamie Gene Thompson pleaded innocent in federal court in Brattleboro on Thursday. He was indicted by a grand jury in February.
Thompson became a live-in care provider for a couple in Charlotte in 2010. He provided medical and physical assistance and transportation. He also handled some of the couples finances.
The indictment says that between September and October 2012, Thompson allegedly defrauded the couple by using their credit card to make about $9,000 in unauthorized purchases. He also allegedly made about $46,000 in unauthorized withdrawals from the investment account.

Diana Douglas
( b. Jan 22, 1923 BERMUDA - d. Jul 03, 2015 Los Angeles, California, USA ) Female
Diana Douglas was an actress for six decades and a model who was Kirk Douglas's first wife and Michael Douglas's mother. Born Diana Love Dill in Bermuda, where her father was the attorney general, Ms. Douglas moved to New York and met Kirk Douglas while they were both studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
She later went to California on a $200-a-week contract with Warner Bros. against Mr. Douglas's advice that she try for Broadway instead.
She went on to have a long career as an actress and model, appearing in dozens of movies, including the 1987 Steve Martin film "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." On television, she had recurring roles in "The Waltons," "Dynasty" and "The Paper Chase," and appeared in "ER" and "The West Wing." She also did stage roles, including some on Broadway.
In May 1943, she appeared on the cover of Life magazine, modeling spring fashions. She married Kirk Douglas that November and went on to have two sons, Michael and Joel, before the couple divorced in 1951.
"We had brought to marriage such different concepts of what it constituted, what was expected due," she wrote in her memoir, "In the Wings and Beyond." The two remained on amicable terms. She even appeared with him in several movies, including her last film, "It Runs in the Family" (2003), which also starred Michael Douglas and one of her grandsons, Cameron.

in my site http://www.cute.pt the slider pushes the content down... why?
in my site http://www.cute.pt the slider pushes the content down... why?
The ability to use a loading icon and prevent content from being pushed down is a feature only available to paid license holders. There is an option to select to use a loading icon which will dynamically set the height of the slider based on image dimension ratios and the width of the container to prevent content jumping.
If you are interested in purchasing, you can do so here: http://soliloquywp.com/
what??? the free version of this has a bug so people buy the premium version?? I'm giving it a 1 star rating this is outrageous
It is not a bug. It is an effect of initializing the slider at the window.onload event, the proper event for initializing a slider. Because image dimensions are not realized until the window.onload event, there is a discrepancy between the initial and realized height of the slider.
You are more than welcome to define a height in CSS to avoid this issue, but the slider will no longer be responsive.
What is outrageous, however, is that you would complain about a plugin that is released to you absolutely free. Be grateful you have access to it at all in the first place.
the height attribute must be defined for which class?
So you are saying that:
1) Without the CSS fixed height definition the slider will appear broken because it does not know the dimensions of the image it is to display.
2) With the CSS fixed height definition, the slider will not appear broken, but the slider is no longer responsive.
I have to say, that bug renders this plugin as being just another slider, and NOT a responsive slider. And yes it is a bug if you wish to call this a responsive slider.
So you release a half working plugin in hopes to fish up sales and then get defensive when someone calls you out on it. Thanks for doing the community a favor. Please don't do us any more favors.
As a gesture of goodwill, I've added that feature into the Lite version of the plugin. You can select to display a loading icon to prevent content jumping.
So you release a half working plugin in hopes to fish up sales and then get defensive when someone calls you out on it. Thanks for doing the community a favor. Please don't do us any more favors.
It's not that the plugin is half-working. It works, but not in the way you envision it. :-) Regardless, I've added the feature to fix the bug.
Hey Thomas amazing plugin
Just a sidenote, I don't know if my case was the exception or the rule but even after I updated the plugin my content was still jumping. (Yes, I ticked the box inside the plugin)
The loading icon would appear, but the content would still jump. Anyhow, a super simple (I'm no CSS whiz) height definition to :
.soliloquy-container .soliloquy
Thanks for the tip, fixed that right up...Is that the most optimal approach?
Thanks again. I tried at least 5 sliders before Soliloquoy and this one rocks
I love the plugin, too, but have the same issue with the page loading--it is very slow to fill out the page. I'll consider buying the plugin to fix it, but if Thomas put the fix into the free version, I don't see it working, so I don't want to buy it unless it works the way I want it to.
This is the URL: http://www.PrudentialCS.com
How do I do the .soliloquy-container .soliloquy thing in CSS? What file do I put it in.
I'm using the Suffusion Theme.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
I checked the box to use the loading icon but the text below the slider still jumps. I don't understand the significance of:
The loading icon would appear, but the content would still jump. Anyhow, a super simple (I'm no CSS whiz) height definition to :
.soliloquy-container .soliloquy
or how to implement it.
I am not using Lite. I think the slider is well worth the modest price.
I'm also enjoying Soliloquy very much, but triggering the loading icon option in a slider isn't working for me -- the slides still wait to load and then shift all content down.
Installed at this time.
With 3 child theme Genesis Framework , pushes the content down
With Twenty Twelve, pushes the content down
Uninstalled and thrown in the trash.
Only a waste of time.
now when I use the slider everything aligns perfectly. Thanks so much for this wonderful plugin!
http://www.ppcaa.org/wordpress (not released yet)
I use the Suffusion theme, and have used no other theme for the last several years. I love it, too! I'm gonna marry it...
your sites are NOT responsive.
macrunner: Oh. I forgot that there was a difference--it's been awhile since I've messed with the setup. What does "responsive" mean again?

i dunno.
I think that the music choice wasn't the correct one, for an anmation like this one, I like pearl jam, but to be honest I haven't left my NO CODE impressions, I like to think that the time stopped on that album. but, changing the subject. your animation seems to be good, of course, the plot an other stuff like drawing needs to be changed, but in general was good, sometimes it's very difficult handle many objects. you should work a lot more.
the animation was really good but uh it was a little weird because i couldnt get the story line i got a little confused.
Confuson is good
prety good
hope youl keep up the good work but its one of those semi-good flashes
Thanks alot,
I think each of my flash animations are geting better if so my next one out on the 1st september will be my best along way to go but still my best
i like it but im not like holy fuck
it was ok but 3 things i din't like the music cuz it got annoying how sbc has some1 head and u should used the clockday preloader not one u made i just thought it be better if clockday preloader was on there that about it HAPPY LATE CLOCK DAY and check out me account page if there any clockcrew flash artist reading this well peace out
The whole thing is a joke if you look at my Pico flash youll see I just took that and put a clock head on Pico.
But the music got annoying after a while. Still pretty good, though.
Your right Pearl jam is the best band ever.
Thanks for the high score

A Central Texas wildfire that has destroyed 28 homes and a dozen business is about 70 percent contained this afternoon.
The fire is in Bastrop, about 30 miles southeast of Austin.
Texas Forest Service spokesman Lewis Kearney says the blaze has
been fueled by severely dry grass, brush and trees. It has scorched about 1,200 acres since a fallen power line started it Saturday.
No injuries have been reported.
The wildfire is the latest of thousands this year in drought-stricken Texas.
No rain was forecast across Texas for the next several days and temperatures in some parts of the state were expected to be in the 80s.

Blog Post 12| 27th December 2015
U.S. Federal Reserve Breaks Bad
In the wind up of 2015 the Federal Reserve (FED, U.S. Central Bank) has made a counter logical (logical, in terms of their theoretical mandate) decision to increase interest rates, effectively reducing the amount of liquidity that will be available into 2016. On 17th December 2015 the FED made the decision to raise he Federal Funds Rate from a range of 0-0.25% to 0.25-0.5%, the first increase since 16th December 2008 in light of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). In making this pivotal decision of U.S. monetary policy the FED have effectively broken their directive to target 2% inflation, which in their words:
'…inflation at the rate of 2 percent (as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures, or PCE) is most consistent over the longer run with the Federal Reserve's mandate for price stability and maximum employment.'
Source: U.S. Federal Reserve
Although this is a relatively small increase to the rate at which U.S. private banks borrow from the FE, and future increases are forecast to be gradual; inflation only averaged 0.07% from January 2015 to November 2015. And, the FED did say in their 16th December press release:
'…it is reasonably confident that inflation will rise, over the medium term, to its 2 percent objective.'
Source: U.S. Federal Reserve
However, modern central banking theory and empirical evidence only support the use of, what is conventionally known as contractionary monetary policy (reducing the money supply through raising interest rates), to invoke a decrease to inflation. This is exactly the opposite outcome the U.S. FED is looking to achieve through its monetary policy efforts.
What is the issue with low inflation or deflation?
An economy naturally requires more real (inflation adjusted) spending in the current period relative to the previous period to achieve real growth. If prices are stagnant or decreasing, it removes the incentive for consumers and investors to purchase in this current period with the knowledge that they can pay the same amount or even less in the next period. This decreases spending and subsequently economic growth.
Japan has experienced these very economic phenomena since the 1990's when they began on a course of low inflation/deflation on the back of asset bubbles bursting in both the share markets and the real estate markets. Resultantly, real GDP stagnated in Japan, though they were able to alleviate some of this downward pressure to growth through being a net exporter of goods and services. From January 2000 to March 2014 monthly inflation of consumer prices averaged -0.01%, and over this same period quarterly GDP growth averaged a mere 0.2%.
What is the probable outcome?
Through increasing interest rates the FED will impose lower inflation on the U.S. economy, reducing inflation to lower levels than before the interest rate rise that will likely bring about a situation of no inflation or deflation to U.S. prices. The overall effect of this is probable to be lower GDP growth and a greater risk of a recession in 2016.

Stubbs painted this celebrated thoroughbred after a close race at Newmarket in 1799. Hambletonian's owner won 3,000 guineas. But the 75-year old artist had to sue for his 300 guinea fee. The twelve-foot-wide picture deliberately shows the racehorse in the final stages of exhaustion, though without the terrible wounds inflicted. Naked – only attended by groom and rubbed down by stable boy - yet supreme.

A painting of a racehorse in the final stages of exhaustion attended by a groom and stable boy. Commissioned by the owner, Sir Henry Vane-Tempest, 2nd Bt (1771-1813) whose only child and daughter was later married to the 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, it shows the celebrated thoroughbred, Hambletonian (1792 - 1818) being rubbed down after the close match with Mr Joseph Cookson's Diamond at Newmarket on 25 March 1799.
Commissioned by Sir Henry Vane-Tempest, 2nd Bt (1771-1813) in 1799; thence by descent to his daughter and only child, Frances Anne, Marchioness of Londonderry (1800-1865) at Londonderry House, London; substituted by Frances Anne, Marchioness of Londonderry, at the auction at Christie's, London, on 9 July 1853, of "a small collection of pictures from Glenarm Castle, Ireland, the residence of the late Edmund Macdonald, Esq.", after the catalogue was printed, for a "modern portrait" of Lady Frances [Anne] Vane (lot 10), Ströhling's autograph replica of the portrait of her father, and a portrait of herself by Lawrence; bought from this auction by 'Street' for £24, apparently on behalf of Frances Anne, Marchioness of Londonderry and hung at Wynyard Park, Co. Durham (where the horse was buried); thence by descent, until transferred to the National Trust by Lady Mairi Bury (1921-2009) in 1976.

You don't have to be a Beatles fan (who isn't) to enjoy this show, but it helps! The fab four (comprised of the original Beatlemania crew, four very excellent musicians in their own right) take you through a magical mystery nostalgia tour full of authentic sounding harmonies, Sgt. Pepper costumes and, it needs to be said, lots of hair (although John's do resembled more early Streisand than late John), peppered w/ Beatles-like often clever repartee! It's karaoke, singalong time, and, mercifully, there are no Yoko sightings although, acoustically, bbking's would be up to the challenge.... BBKing's is the perfect accompaniment for birthdays and Beatles. It's all good: menu, service, prices. All you need is love.

text: Estee Lauder It's been a ho-hum year for cosmetics company Estee Lauder ( EL); shares of the $24 billion firm have only moved around 4% higher since the first trading day of 2013. But EL could be in store for considerable upside thanks to the long-term pattern that's been forming in shares. Lauder is currently forming an ascending triangle pattern, a trading setup that's formed by a horizontal resistance level to the upside and uptrending support put in below shares. Essentially, as EL bounces in between those two technically significant price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above that resistance level at $64. When the breakout happens, we've got a buy signal on our hands. Momentum adds some extra confirmation to the upside setup in EL. That's because 14-day RSI has been able to maintain an uptrend over the course of the pattern, a sign that Lauder's price increase is accelerating. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that's a very auspicious sign for shareholders. Wait for the breakout before putting your cash on the line in EL. Prev 1 of 6 Next

-Do you have $50 laying around? If so, you can buy a hot dog from the final game at Mellon Arena. Shockingly, there aren't any bid for this lovely item as of yet. (Kudos to The Pensblog for the find.)
-Happy 47th birthday to former Penguins forward Doug Smith. Acquired midway through the 1989-90 season in exchange for cash, Smith's NHL career ended with 10 games and two points with the Penguins that campaign. In the 1990 offseason, he joined ATSE Graz in Austria.
Playoff Stuff
-Michael Leighton (above) made 28 saves and led the Flyers to a series-opening 6-0 rout of the Canadiens. Daniel Briere, Braydon Coburn, Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell and James van Riemsdyk each had a goal and an assist for Philadelphia which leads the series, 1-0.

-The Flyers have won five consecutive postseason games for the first time since 1995.
-"No concern about that whatsoever." - Canadiens forward Mike Cammalleri on Halak who was pulled after giving up four goals on 13 shots.
-"It's only one game, but we have to do something about it. We just didn't have it tonight. We didn't have that edge." - Canadiens defenseman Hal Gill.
-Is it surprising to see Chris Pronger fitting in in Philadelphia?
-Flyers forward Ian Laperriere (head) has resumed practicing.
