LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Jonathan Bernier expected the desperate Phoenix Coyotes to throw everything they had at him in an attempt to end a long scoring drought.
The Los Angeles goalie was more than ready for the onslaught.
Bernier made a career-high 40 saves, defenceman Drew Doughty scored for the first time in 33 regular-season games, and the Kings beat the Coyotes 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Coyotes captain Shane Doan scored twice in the third period for Phoenix, which was shut out in three straight games for the first time in the franchise's 33-year history. One was a 4-0 loss to the Kings on Monday.
"I thought they were very good the whole game, and we knew that was going to happen," Bernier said. "When you don't score for three games, you're just going to try to shoot everything at the net. I thought we were very good on rebounds and stayed solid in the middle. I don't think our forecheck was at its best, but we found a way to stick with it."
Bernier extended Phoenix's scoreless drought to 245 minutes, 32 seconds since rookie Rob Klinkhammer's goal against Jonathan Quick in the Coyotes' 5-2 win over the Kings on March 12.
The Coyotes had been stopped on 133 consecutive shots before Doan's first goal, scored on a deflection of Keith Yandle's wrist shot from the left point with 8:32 remaining and the teams skating 4-on-4.
"When you haven't scored in three games, you're going to get pretty desperate," said Doan, who added his 11th of the season with 41 seconds to play. "We were desperate enough, but we didn't find a way to do it. I think if you play that game nine more times, we probably win it eight times.
"That's why they're the Stanley Cup champions. They found a way to win that game."
Dustin Penner and Jarret Stoll also found the net for the Kings, who have won 12 of 16 games and 11 of 12 at home. Stoll connected on a power play with 6:14 remaining while Derek Morris was serving an interference penalty.
Bernier has won seven of his eight starts—not counting a 6-4 win over St. Louis that Quick won in relief.
The frustrated Coyotes outshot the Kings 11-0 over the first 9 minutes of the third period. Bernier made a rebound save against Steve Sullivan with about 13 1-2 minutes remaining and lost his stick on the play. He played almost a minute with defenceman Slava Voynov's stick before play stopped.
"Slava gave Bernie his stick, and then I gave mine to Slava," Stoll said. "I think you can probably get away with that up top with no stick and get lucky, but defencemen and goaltenders need sticks.
"I think the last three games on the penalty-kill we've gotten caught breaking sticks or moving sticks. So that was quite a sequence."
Mike Smith, who was pulled from Monday's game after giving up four goals on 22 shots, made 26 saves in the rematch against an offence that came in averaging four goals at home.
The Coyotes, who entered averaging 9.5 shots in the first period, outshot Los Angeles 15-10. Penner scored the only goal of the period at 14:38, converting Justin Williams' backhanded pass from behind the net.
"We knew that they'd come out hard, and we just didn't handle it like we would have liked. But that's when you need your goaltender," Stoll said. "Bernie was great like Quickie was last night. We didn't have our 'A' game, so to speak, but we got the four points we needed."
Doughty, whose previous regular-season goal was last March 30, beat Smith high to the glove side with a slap shot from the left circle at 6:28 of the second period for a 2-0 lead. Doughty scored four goals in last year's playoffs.
"It was good to get that first one off my back," said Doughty, who scored on his 65th shot of the season. "I'm kind of a streaky scorer, so I'm hoping I can get on a little roll now. I've had a lot of good chances, especially tonight—about five or six that could have gone in.
"It's good that I'm getting those chances. Now I've just got to bear down and put them by the goalie."
Doan was cut down by Kings rookie defenceman Jake Muzzin on a knee-to-knee open-ice hit in the Kings' zone late in the second period. He took a few seconds to get back to his feet, then tried to get at Muzzin before the linesmen intervened. No penalties were called.
NOTES: Kings coach Darryl Sutter earned his 451st regular-season victory, tying his brother Brian for 22nd place on the NHL list. … The Coyotes hadn't scored on the road in 296 minutes, 50 seconds, dating to Kyle Chipchura's empty-net goal on Feb. 26. … Coyotes RW Radim Vrbata was activated from the injured list after missing 14 games because of a lower body injury. RW David Moss missed his first game of the season, sitting out for the same reason. … The only players who haven't scored for the Kings this season are D Keaton Ellerby and C Brad Richardson, who has been a healthy scratch for 27 of the team's first 29 games. Ellerby hasn't had one since March 11, 2011, while he was with Florida Panthers. … The Kings are 12-2-1 at home this season and 12-1-1 when they score first.

The Browser service does not merge networks. Each Browser is bound to one NIC and operates independently.Thus, a Master Browser that exchanges information with the PDC will not know about a server discovered on a different interface.
The UnboundBindings value introduced in NT 4.0 is a type REG_MULTI_SZ value designed to prevent the PDC from gathering browse lists on more than one interface but it does not force the Master Browser to only use the unbound interface cards. The entry is at:
and each line is set to an interface you wish to disable. Each line takes the form of:
NetBT_<NIC driver name that ends in a number> and can be located by scanning HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services.
You can off-load many services from the PDC to multihomed servers to increase their reliability.
Other symptoms of multihoming in Windows NT are:
NetBIOS does not have a problem with multihomed environments. An exception to this is with the NetBEUI protocol. If this protocol is used, and if the two interfaces are directly connected to the same physical segment, or indirectly connected through an intermediate system such as a bridge, NetBEUI must be unbound from one of the network interfaces. All of the other protocols that support NetBIOS do not have this problem. For TCP/IP, NetBIOS binds to the primary IP address bound to each network interface card (NIC). WINS can only bind to one NIC. By default, this is the first bound NIC in the system. The network administrator must be aware of the bindings and only assign the TCP/IP address for the NIC that is bound to WINS on all of the WINS clients. In addition, all WINS PUSH and PULL replication partners must be configured through this bound interface. To be certain of the interface used, in the WINS Administrator, specify the remote WINS server by its IP address. It is possible for a packet generated by WINS to use either interface. This behavior is due to the local route table on the WINS server. DHCP does not have a problem with multihomed servers. It binds to all NICs, and the service issues the correct scopes. Like NetBIOS, DHCP binds to the primary IP address bound to each NIC.

Publisher: Inknbeans Press
Publication Date: August 21, 2014
Synopsis: Beauty, pain, drugs, sex: repeat. Monroe Song, who considers herself nothing more than the wife of a terrorist, is struggling, failing, and drowning, trying to find her place in a world that has left her at the brink of insanity: Her husband, Carter, has opened fire at a mental health facility, before turning the ruthless gun on his sons, then himself.
Emptied wine bottles, and pills which bring her no relief or comfort, drive Monroe into the arms of Dominique, a man half her age, who offers her the perfect anecdote for her brokenness.
Monroe's oldest son, Karter, once idolized his father. Karter is now haunted by his father's face, words, and the massacre that is now his family legacy.
If Karter's hero is a monster, a terrorist, who brutally murdered innocent people, what does that make Karter?
How can Monroe and Karter move forward when life has forgotten them? Then, again, with everything so distorted, why not spiral with the storm?
Interview: Q. How did writing this book affect you?
I would have to say, the book affected me in the same way my other novels did – ignited that passion of wanting to bring light to dark topics, bring awareness and empathy to the things we don't often connect with. But what really affected me, was taking the time to focus more on details.
I wanted to create something that was detailed, but not in a way that a reader would want to turn the pages to get to the point – just in a sensual slow-building sort of way. I think that in doing this, I evolved a bit as a writer. Details are something I struggle with.
Q. What is the hardest part of writing for you?
The hardest part of writing, for me, is paying attention to details. I tend to focus on the bigger picture, the emotions, the character development. Colors, scents, time, and setting, are a lot more difficult than, say, dialogue for me, personally.
Q. Do you plan any subsequent books?
Yes! But I am taking my time, because I had originally planned to only publish short stories after my third or fourth novel was published. (Like Shards of Glass is the third novel with Inknbeans Press.)
This way, I could focus more on what is already available to the public, instead of putting everything I have written out there with a very small amount of readers. I may change my mind; I'm still giving this thought. I am also considering getting my children's book published before I publish any more novels.
Q. What are you currently reading?
I have been so busy with writing and preparing for publishing "Like Shards of Glass", that I am ashamed to say, I have not been keeping up with any books at this time, except the books by my brilliant author friends. Such as Ey Wade's "When Clouds Touch," and Jordanna East's "Blood in the Pain," and Andrea Cunningham's novella and book of poetry.
Oh! I started Les Miserables last Spring, was thoroughly enjoying it, but did not get very far.
Q. Please tell us your latest news (book-related or not!).
My most exciting news to date, is that just recently, I got the opportunity to appear on a local television show, and discuss (for 3-minutes) my books and my passion – awareness.
My latest news, is that on August 21st, my latest novel, Like Shards of Glass, will be (finally!!) available through all major online retailers. There will be a giveaway which will begin this week, and go through the last week in September. Also, on September 20th , I will be at Book-a-holics, for a booksigning/release celebration.
Q. What would you say is your most interesting writing quirk?
My most interesting quirk? I used to think it was quirky that I email and text myself ideas, but I am learning that a lot of my writer-ly friends do this, too. It makes me feel a bit better about being so silly, but it also makes me realize, we are all just as loony as can be, and there's no getting around it!
Q. Please tell us a fun-fact about yourself!
A fun fact about myself. Hmm.
I can give you a few:
If I don't come and go the same way (when driving) I will get myself lost for over a half hour. Wow. That's just sad. Let's just stop there.
Q. Is there anything you haven't written about that you would like to in the future?
Good question! Yes!
I have a long-term project, a book I have been working on for two, almost three years, now, and it is verging on sci-fi/fantasy. This is a genre I would really like to attempt. I would also like to write a book that is not dark, that's sweet and fluffy and gives readers butterflies and happy thoughts. I don't really … I don't see me pulling that off. (Aside from my children's book.)
Q. If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Loving these questions.
If I could learn to do anything, I would learn to live in the moment and to stop worrying and allowing myself to become so anxious about things that I will laugh at myself about later.
Also, if I could learn to do something, it would be something like, photography … or to finger paint intricate pictures of people, places, and things. I would love that.
Q. What gives you the most joy in life?
Peace. God. Family. Writing.
Q. Which of your characters would you want to be and why?
None of my characters. I put them through so much. Poor things. But if I absolutely had to pick, maybe I'd choose a supporting character, like a friend of a friend. Someone who's known only by their silent observations and advice.
Q. How do you like to spend your spare time?
I spend my spare time resting from chronic cluster headaches and a damaged nerve on my right side, lately. (Woe is me.)
But when I'm up and about, I love to just accidentally end up somewhere like, at a park or out to eat, or grabbing movies at Redbox. And do I have to say it? WRITING!!!!
Q. How did you come up with the title?
The title for the book came about as I put myself in my main character's shoes. Just, the whole thought of losing everything – a husband and children – all in the blink of an eye. I knew instantly what I would do. I would fall apart. I would fall apart and shatter, like shards of glass.
Q. When did you know you would be a writer?
I never knew what I'd be. But I knew in my soul that I was an artist. I thought for a split second, maybe I'd be a musician? I played piano – I was no child prodigy – but I could learn, memorize, and get an A or B in my music class without practicing the way I was supposed to. Same with orchestra. But once I reflected on the way I'd create stories with my barbies (don't laugh!!), and the fun I had with stories I wrote as a high school sophomore (and never finished!!) … I knew I was onto something. And it was like an epiphany once I finally completed my first book, at 19-years-old. May have been 18.
Q. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
I admire you for giving me a chance. I know I'm not perfect, my writing is not perfect, my methods of getting your attention are probably annoying, but I appreciate you. I appreciate and admire you, for giving me a chance.

The NOW site is down at the moment so I can't look through the documentation for the OnCommand Host Package, but after upgrading DFM 4.x and VSC 2.1 to OnCommand 5.0 and the Host Package (replaces VSC installation on vCenter) none of my SnapDrive 6.3 installations can recognize their VMDKs anymore. All LUN drives are still maintained, but all VMDKs had been removed from the Disks list. This breaks SMSQL functionality if you're using it to back up virtual SQL servers that are storing their data and logs on VMDKs instead of LUNs (which was supported with the previous configuration of SMSQL 5.1, SDW 6.3, and VSC 2.0.1+ and working flawlessly) since SnapDrive can no longer manage the VMDKs through the VSC.
According to this link: https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=3012688
SnapDrive requires the storage controllers to be configured in the Backup and Recovery portion of the VSC. However, with OnCommand 5 that has been truncated to the Legacy Backup and Recovery section where only my vCenter server information is now listed. All of my backups are being handled through the Host plug-in / Protection Manager dataset policies now which is I assume the preferred way. Since there are no longer any storage controllers listed in the Legacy Backup and Recovery section, nor am I able to add them into there (the add button is greyed out), is SnapDrive 6.3 VMDK support not supported with OnCommand 5.0 + Host Package? Am I overlooking something?
Solved! SEE THE SOLUTION
You need to reconfigure SDW on your host.
configure SMVI IP address and port number = 8053.
Restart the SDW.
Thanks Nikhil. That was it. The updated port number is definitely a gotcha as well since the default port number for VSC 2.x was 8043.

Visiting Bath
Practical guide to making an informed visit to the City of Bath
Bath overview
As a travel website on London, these pages are written from the perspective of visitors to London wanting to spend a day or more outside of the capital.
We detail getting from London to Bath as well as the main tourist attractions in Bath and travel options around the city, including hop-on, hop-off buses.
Near Bath
So what's the attraction of Bath?
The key attraction to visitors to Bath originates from two periods; Roman and Georgian.
The natural resource of a hot spring from the waters of the surrounding Cotswold Hills was a great attraction to the Romans when they invaded England about 2,000 years ago. The resulting Roman Baths are the biggest single attraction for visitors to Bath.
The other main period was the Georgian period in the 18th Century. Read our Georgian Bath page that describes the Georgian society and how Bath was transformed from a backwater into an elegant spa town where the cream of society flocked too. Today the charm of Bath emanates from that time.
There is so much to see and do in and around Bath that you couldn't see everything in a weekend. If you are visiting from London on a day tour on a coach, you will probably only get around 2 hours in the city.
Sightsee within 2 hours of London

Tours from London visiting

Tours visiting
So it is wise to do some preparation and prioritise what's attractive to you personally. You can easily visit Bath independently by rail from London and get a full day.
Having a car in Bath, is a millstone around your neck. It'll just stay in an (expensive) car park all of the time.
We would heartily recommend that visitors with enough time take the free walking tours of Bath as an introduction to your visit. Taken by volunteers, these walks of over two hours explain the history of Georgian Bath by taking you through the city past all the key landmarks.
Use the menu on the left hand side of the page for links to all the main attractions. The official tourist office itself is on the river (eastern) side of the Roman Baths by Bath Abbey.
Shopping in Bath
Bath is not a museum piece, it's a major thriving town and a regional shopping centre. Part of the charm of Bath is that business and shops coexist with visitors within the Georgian Bath environment. This is old fashion shopping with individual shops, no malls (as yet).
Bath is quite an affluent town and shops cater for all tastes, from the large chain stores down the main High (Main) Street to the quirkier and antique establishments only found by exploring.
Getting to Bath from London - tours or independent
The most painless way of visiting Bath is on a one or two day tour from London. For time poor visitors the most popular is the Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath tour that visits all three world class attractions in one long day. Full details of the different kinds of tours are on our Bath Tours page. However, these tours will only give you between 90 minutes and 3 hours in Bath.
It is very easy to get to Bath independently from London. For a day tour, regular fast trains run from London's Paddington Station take only around 90 minutes and run until late. Frequencies are twice hourly for most of the day.
Cheaper and slower are National Express buses from London Victoria, only worth considering if you're staying more than one day.
Full details are found on our Getting to Bath from London by public transport page. Bath is a very walkable city, everything is packed into a very compact area.
Bath hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus
You do not really need a Hop On Hop Off bus from a logistical sense, although there is a tour option that offers a Bath skyline tour outside the city of Bath.
However, what you do get is a good orientation of Bath perched high up on the double deck bus. Especially if you are visiting independently the commentary can set the scene nicely for your stay.
Bath hop-on, hop-off bus routes, frequencies etc
There are two routes covered by the same ticket. The core route covers the city of Bath itself and takes you to the Roman Baths, the Pump Room, the Abbey where England's first King was crowned and the Assembly Rooms amongst others.
In fact all the main attractions in the city. The second 'Skyline Tour' takes you from Bath Railway Station round Claverton Down past the University of Bath and Prior Park Landscape Garden.
The tours use modern double decker buses like those photographed here. There is a live guide conducting the tour in English with headsets available with prerecorded commentary in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Cantonese, Mandarin and Polish.

Review: 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec
By Brendan Moore
Hyundai wants you to think only good thoughts when you think of them; they certainly don't want you to think that they make pretty good cars, "but." The Korean automaker is really not interested in having any sort of qualifier come after their name anymore when their cars are being discussed. For instance, qualifiers like, Hyundai makes good cars, but they don't have a sports car. Or, Hyundai makes good cars, but they don't have a true luxury car. Or, Hyundai makes good cars, but they don't make a sports sedan.
With that in mind, Hyundai has really expanded their lineup in recent years, and the results have sent competitors in nervous paroxysms. Consumers have noticed, too, and the Hyundai lineup is doing very well in terms of sales. "Value for the money," quality, and yes, even styling seem to be recurring themes when consumers are asked what they like about their Hyundai.
That brings us to this review of the 2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec, the company's take on injecting some sport into their Genesis luxury sedan.
The first thing Hyundai did was add horsepower to the Genesis (never a bad way to start). The standard 385 HP engine in the Genesis was uprated to 429 HP. They also added a sport suspension and some very nice-looking wheels and performance tires. This, the plethora of standard equipment on the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec to start with, makes for a very h, fast car.
It's sort of bland-looking. The styling is not even close to being as good (or as daring) as the styling on the recent cars from Hyundai, cars like the new Sonata or the Veloster. And the handling is numb and a bit uneven when pushed – okay if you want conquest customers from Lexus, since they'll feel right at home, but not okay if you're going to play with the big boys from Germany, or say, the Cadillac CTS or the Jaguar XFR.
Also, I thought the downshifts in the eight-speed automatic were a bit slow and lazy, which hardly puts the sport into sports sedan.
After driving the Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Spec around for a week, I can say that it's a good value for the money if you want luxury, room and horsepower (it's faster and corners much better than the regular Genesis), but if you want a sports sedan, the car writes a check it can't cash. It is an underachiever in terms of handling.
It's like one of those sports teams put together by a rich owner who goes out and gets all the mega-talented free agents he can – the ingredients for a winner are all there, but ultimately, the team just doesn't work together very well and they don't put a lot of wins up on the board.
It's a very good sedan; it's just not a sports sedan. I enjoyed driving the car, but it is not going to strike fear into the hearts of any true sports sedans.
It would, however, be unwise to underestimate Hyundai in terms of the improvements they're capable of when the redesign of this rolls around. Hyundai is very, very good at improving their cars and their competitors ignore their busy efforts at their own peril. I am 100% certain the next iteration of this car will have more sports sedan DNA injected into it.
My car had an MSRP of $46,535, which included:
Standard Equipment:
5.0-liter V-8
8-speed automatic transmission w/Shiftronic
Electronic stability control
Traction control
Lane departure warning system
Selective damping shock absorbers
R-Spec sport tuned multi-link suspension
19-in. machine finished alloy wheels
Rain-sensing wipers w/auto-defogging windshield
Leather seating w/heated seats
Cooled driver seat
Tilt/telescopic steering column
Power sunroof
Power rear sunshade
Lexicon 17-speaker audio system
Navigation system w/8-inch display
Driver information system w/multimedia controller
Electronic parking brake
Options: (only one) an iPod cable for $35.00
Fuel economy:
(city/hwy/combined) 16/25/19 mpg
5.0-liter aluminum V-8
Horsepower: 429 hp @ 6400 rpm
Torque: 376 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm
8-speed automatic transmission w/Shiftronic
Curb weight: 4046 lb
19-inch machine finished alloy wheels
The price premium for this model over the standard Genesis is very small and gain is large, so if I were a Genesis buyer, I'd definitely plump for this model, because even though it's not the equal of true sports sedans, it's still a huge bargain in terms of a luxury sedan, and, as I noted previously, it certainly performs better in every way over the standard Genesis.
And for very little extra money – the R-Spec is only around two grand more than the 4.6 liter Genesis sedan. Now, that is a sweet deal, even if you can't challenge a BMW M5 in the twisty bits.
Hyundai provided the vehicle, insurance and one tank of gas for this review.

Ben Carson in his autobiography Gifted Hands, Carson's account of trying to stab a person.
Do you want a President that cannot control his anger? Carson flew off the handle over what music to listen to and tried to stab a friend/classmate/relative (depends on which account you read). The question Carson should be asked at next debate, has he received treatment for his anger issue.
In that instant blind anger—pathological anger—took possession of me. Grabbing the camping knife I carried in my back pocket, I snapped it open and lunged for the boy who had been my friend. With all the power of my young muscles, I thrust the knife toward his belly. The knife hit the big, heavy ROTC buckle with such force that the blade snapped and dropped to the ground. I stared at the broken blade and went weak. I had almost killed him. I had almost killed my friend."
The story changed in another book 2000 autobiography The Big Picture. In one chapter, Carson discusses a speech he gave in Baltimore to a "restless standing-room-only audience," in which he once again told the saga of his knife attack.
"I told how I had gotten so angry one day that I lunged at a friend with a knife. I aimed at his stomach, but I hit his belt buckle instead. Rather than slicing open my friend's abdomen, the blade broke off, and my friend ran away terrified but otherwise unhurt. Afterward, I was almost as frightened as my friend by the realization of what had almost happened. I could have very well ended up in jail instead of Yale. Instead, God used that incident to help turn my life around."
Pathological Anger Definition
Describe a person or their behaviour as pathological when they behave in an extreme and unacceptable way, and have very powerful feelings which they cannot control.
Anger is an emotion that is familiar to everyone. An episode of anger may dissipate quickly and harmlessly or evolve into a murderous rage. Between the benign and malignant end points in this spectrum, a seething, chronic anger may come to dominate a person's thinking, feeling, and behavior.
Several drugs are apparently effective in treating pathologic anger and aggression. Because many of the studies on aggressive populations allowed the use of concomitant medications, it is unclear whether the efficacy of each drug in a particular population is dependent on the presence of other medications, such as antipsychotic agents. Finally, one needs to be circumspect in inferring efficacy of a particular drug in aggressive patients with neuropsychiatric conditions other than the ones in which some efficacy has been established.

No. 7 Clarkson hands No. 2 Harvard first ECAC loss behind Mercer's hat trick
POTSDAM, N.Y. -- An impressive effort on the penalty kill and a hat trick from junior Carly Mercer highlighted No. 7 Clarkson's performance against second-ranked Harvard, as the Golden Knights sent the Crimson to its first conference loss of the season with a 3-1 defeat on Friday night at Cheel Arena.
The Golden Knights improved to 19-6-0 overall and 11-2-0 in ECAC Hockey, while second-rated Harvard fell to 16-2-1 overall and 13-1-0 in league games.
Clarkson was first on the scoreboard with a power-play goal. The Crimson was whistled for too many players on the ice and 32 seconds later the Knights cashed in. Junior Jamie Lee Rattray took a shot in the slot, which was denied by Harvard goalkeeper Emerance Maschmeyer. Fortunately for the Knights, the puck found its way over to the stick of Carly Mercer, who finished off the play by stuffing in the rebound on Maschmeyer's glove side. The goal, Mercer's 10th on the season, was the earliest scored by a Harvard opponent all season long (19 games). Senior Danielle Skirrow also assisted.
Harvard tied the game up nine minutes later with a power-play marker of its own. Kelsey Romatoski sent a pass from the top of the right circle down near the end line to Kaitlin Spurling. She took her time to wait for a skater on the opposite of the ice to fill the opening and Kailey Armstrong glided in for an easy one-timer past the stick of Clarkson goaltender Erica Howe.
The second period was scoreless, though Harvard did have opportunities. The Crimson began the period on the power play for 37 seconds, and the Golden Knights were whistled for three more penalties in the period. Harvard enjoyed 5 minutes, 16 seconds of action with an extra skater due to Clarkson penalties, but the Knights' penalty killing unit was up to the task, allowing only one shot on goal.
After killing off the final 1:21 of a penalty, Clarkson quickly returned to the offensive in the third period. With Maschmeyer down on the ice after making a stop, no one was around Mercer, who lifted the puck over the Harvard goaltender's stick, again at the glove side post, for her second goal at the 2:35 mark. She completed her first career hat trick seven minutes later on the power play. Freshman Erin Ambrose blasted a shot from the point and the puck, for a third time, found the stick of Mercer at the post, where she took two swipes at it before it crossed the goal line.
Rattray picked up her third assist of the night on the goal and recorded her 99th career point (42-57).
Howe was strong in the Clarkson net, aided by a considerable effort from the Clarkson defense, making 18 saves as Harvard had a season-low 19 shots. Maschmeyer made 22 stops for the Crimson. Clarkson was 2-for-7 on the power play while Harvard scored once in six chances.
Howe's effort provided her with her 18th victory of the season and the 50th of her career, a new Clarkson standard, surpassing the 49 victories recorded by Lauren Dahm.

Today I am playing with Embellish Magazine Color Challenge - holiday and Wee Memories#32 - Put a little pink
And here is another CAS card (If you are wondering why I am creating so much CAS these days, reason is the beautiful textured colored card stock I got. I love to flaunt it :D )
I used a free digi from Paper Garden and colored it using water color pencils. The center of the flowers has a little glitter on them but I couldn't capture it in the picture.
Hope you like it!! Thanks for visiting!!

It is such a cute little doll! My husband calls her a "portly gal". Lol! My daughter really likes it. I really wanted to focus on more simple gifts this year. I will share some of the other things I made later today.

Homemade Holidays
I have been wanting to share some of the gifts I made for the kids for Christmas, but I have had the hardest time uploading pictures to blogger. I found out about this great site called Picnik (probably the last person to find out about it!) where you can resize your photos for free. I learned how to knit a couple of months ago so I wanted to knit my daughter a doll. This pattern is the reason I wanted to learn to knit, so I was really excited that it was much easier then I thought it would be. It did take forever, since I am such a slow knitter.

In my past articles I have covered the ideal strength moves for the chest, back, arms and shoulders and then it hit me what about the lower body? So today I am going to tell you the 5 exercises that helped me strengthen and develop my leg muscles such as the calves, thighs etc.
I could make a list of squats variations like you would mostly come across on the web but I'd hate that and I sure you would too. So besides a couple of important squat exercises here's what else you need to do.
High and Low bar squat
A simple fact is that you cannot do away with squats because they affect every lower body muscle and also increase testosterone levels important for effective muscle development and if done before curls also impact the arms too.
Technically these variations are similar the only difference being that for the high bar the bar is placed over the traps and for the low bar the bar is placed over the back deltoids whereas biomechanically they are completely unique.
The high bar variant impacts the quads whereas the low bar version focuses on the glutes. My advice would be you do both variants on alternate days.
Bulgarian Split Squat
Like I said, can't get rid of the squats and though this version may seem very difficult with proper technique anyone can do it. It is technically a split squat where the leg in the front bears more weight. For beginners my advice would be to try it using a smith machine rather than free weights.
It is the best quad movement and like other squat variations boosts testosterone levels. Start light and avoid doing it too early into the routine. 3 sets of 10 reps should be a good start.
The leg press isn't an alternative to the squat mainly for 3 facts. It does not integrate all leg muscles, does not boost testosterone as well as squats and neither is the body pose and movement too helpful.
What it does help with is strengthening the thighs and teardrops. Be careful not to lower the sled too much as the glutes tend to rise due to which the spine curves and that can result in a nasty injury. To make the workout more effective team it up with techniques like the dropsets or forced reps.
Though mostly considered as a back exercise the deadlift and its other types impact most body muscles especially the hamstrings and glutes. Its sumo version is the best exercise for the quads. As weights are involved your muscles are bound to strengthen and develop.
The involvement of different muscle groups gives the body a hormonal boost too. Since you will be doing this exercise on our leg day I'd suggest you keep the reps easy and lift less weight than usual. 2 sets of 10 reps is enough.
For this workout you need to stretch your knees and hips thus your thighs and glutes get stronger. I prefer to do them while moving forward or back. You can also stick to a spot and do it depending on your choice.
I prefer dumbbells as dipping and standing seems simpler with them and they tend to be less disturbing when moving around but barbells have the same impact. I start off my leg day with lunges as I can lift heavier when fresh.
Keep your knees behind your toes for their safety and avoid leaning forward and push through your mid food while going up. Start off with 3 sets of 10 reps and aim for muscle failure. Later combine it with the dropset technique.
Wondering why I have left out the leg extension or curl? No I haven't made a mistake. While these workouts are good and are the last couple of exercises I do on leg day they are definitely not as great as the ones mentioned above.

Resort with Spectacular Views
I don't like to recommend destinations that are really expensive (why get people excited about a place they can't afford to visit) but we splurged this weekend on the Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona.  It is the most spectacular location I have ever seen for a landlocked (ie non ocean-front) resort.  It is almost impossible to do it justice in photos, because it sits at the end of a box canyon and is surrounded on three sides by red rock walls.   Some pictures are here in the google image result. Expect to pay $300-400 and up for a night, though you will get a very nice room even for the lower rates, and large casitas for higher rates.  As is usual for resorts, meals are crazy expensive -- its hard to get through breakfast, for example, for less than $20 a person.  But the views and hiking and everything else here are just beautiful.
One of the things I enjoyed was the resort had a native american climb onto a local rock outcropping a couple of times a day and play peaceful flute music that echoed around the resort. Â You can see a group gathered around to watch (update: Â A reader was nice enough to Photoshop out some of the haze using a levels command trick he taught me a while back -- you can compare below to this original)
It freaked me out for a while because I would here this low-volume music as I walked around the resort and I could not figure out where it was coming from (I kept looking for hidden speakers until I figured it out).
As an added bonus, the night sky is totally dark -- you are out in the wilderness about 15 miles from Sedona and out of site of any other habitation of any sort and almost completely surrounded by canyon walls. Â As a result, it is one of the few places where us city folk can see the Milky Way in all its glory (below is my amateur photography (you may have to click to enlarge to really see the Milky Way, but its there).
The restaurant there is quite good and there are excellent tables on the deck outside to watch the sunset. Â But if you want a slightly different Sedona experience (though equally expensive) the Restaurant at the L'Auberge resort right in the town of Sedona on Oak Creek is terrific. Â The food is great and the location on the creek is very romantic at night. Â Here is the view from my table right around sunset.
You can't get closer to the water than that!
Postscript: Â If you like the idea of creekside dining but don't want to blow a hundred bucks a person for dinner, I have eaten at a much less expensive, much less highbrow restaurant that had a very similar location. Â It is the Rapids Lodge Restaurant at Grand Lake, Colorado, and is a great place to eat on a trip through Rocky Mountain National Park before you turn around and head back to Estes Park. Â Here is the view from our table there:
PPS: Â Other US resort views I like: Â Highlands Inn, near Carmel; Â Hapuna Resort, Big Island, Hawaii; Â Sanctuary Resort, Phoenix, AZ (though the rooms really need an update); Â Trump Hotel, Las Vegas (located right on the bend of the strip so the strip view rooms look straight down the strip at night).
Update:Â In the spirit of equal time, a reader writes that the Enchantment Resort ruined Boynton Canyon. Â Its impossible for me to say -- I never knew it in its pristine state. Â I will say the resort itself does a pretty good job of keeping a low profile in the canyon -- no buildings that I saw over 2 stories tall, most of the old trees are preserved.

Mixed- Media Painting: To The Sea-Green
I immediately knew I wanted to paint waves, but when I started to work on it this Tuesday I was not very happy with where it was headed. Yesterday when I worked on it, I started by painting over what was already there (3 smaller waves) because it didn't have the impact that I wanted. When I painted this larger, more graphic wave I immediately liked it better.
I added the "spray" by rubbing on Golden's Fiber Paste with my finger. When dry, I rubbed a bit of Heavy Gel Medium in a gloss, to add a bit more sheen in areas. It still didn't look finished, so I added the border around it. I did this by 1st wetting a stamp, then rubbing over it with a black water-soluable(WS) crayon. I sprayed it with more water then stamped it on, then I rubbed out some areas with a wet paper towel to soften it. I then took black and then white WS crayons and outlined the border here and there.
For the Color Challenge you have to use only shades of sea-green, along with black and white if you want, and this week Louise said we could also add metallics. I added painted cheesecloth in the bottom corner, and added a few objects that looked like they were found in the ocean....a smashed piece of copper pipe (hey, you never know), a silver shell, sea glass, and a brass ring, along with some copper wire. To balance it I added a copper tack to the other three corners.
I'm not sure if it's finished yet, I feel like I need to work on the border a bit more, but I'll see what happens when I step away from it for a bit. If I change anything, I'll show you a picture of it later.
I'm off to go to the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach (a wonderful art show)! I'm so excited! Woohoo! There are some amazing artists every year, can't wait to see what they came up with this time. Bye.
Umm...yeah, I'm back and yes...I need to fix the border. I'll post pics when it's done.

So please stop your attacks.

The Lady was part of the House Noldor-Reacor till today. The declaration of Independency from that house who is at war with us and our allies will not change our reaction. Not understandavle Movement of Warplanets are also not a counting reason. We will use any strength to bring Peace. Greetings, Portishead Back to top APOcalypseGuest Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2007 14:42 Post subject: Portishead, we are in a state of war? That's absolutely right. We are in a state of war since YOU attacked me. Am I allowed to quote the Galactic News of 200/3503. Let me do it. "Herrscher Portishead (Haus Brothers_in_Arms) eroberte ein Sonnensystem von Herrscher APOcalypse (Haus Noldor-Reacor)" Now let me quote the first attack of Noldor-Reacor in 225/3503 at your house "Herrscher APOcalypse (Haus Noldor-Reacor) eroberte ein Sonnensystem von Herrscher Portishead (Haus Brothers_in_Arms)" Do you recognize something?

Im always glad to receive messages from other players like you. I dont know how active Galadriel was. It doesnt count anyways. The fact that you send me congratulations is proof of her activity. As you regarded i conquered her, you certainly know, that we are in a state of war. Where do i doubt that? Do you? I even declared war on you, you may have forgotten it. It was one of the first messages on this channel. So im more surprised that the two quotes are in german, then that they show i attacked you first. And i do enjoy fighting. Do you?

Otherwise you should not be able to jump as direct at her as you did. But it doesn't matter - you conquered her. We were and are in a state of war that is absolutely right. But I would correct your announcement that could create an image of me as aggressor. Nothing more. And well do I enjoy fighting against an house, which is just defending its homeplanet? My warplanet is absolutely weakenend in comparison to the CP of Acidstar. I can tell you I do not enjoy it at the moment. But enough words. I hope you are a better enemy. Greetings Apo Back to top PortisheadGuest Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2007 04:47 Post subject: Declaration VI of the House Brothers in Arms Dear Imperators, tommorrow APO will integrate me by conquering my Home Planet. I have to accept that and i will accept that. As you all may understand im not happy with that, but as you also understand, thats it in war and you are not always on the sunny side of things. Due to that i declare for myself and my fleet a ceasefire towards the House Agnar and his fellows, my former enemies. That doesnt include charles, House prinz. I will hunt him as long as i could. I will take this ceasefire to think about my future and to use that to consolidate my realms. In case that Imperators as Luke or Aurion continue to attack me, i will only defend myself where im able to it. Back to top AhabGuest Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2007 20:13 Post subject: dear Portishead you seem not to understand that one is not always on the sunny side of developements, as you described you want a ceasefire to consolidate your realms, so to strengthen your warplanets combat power again and to think about your future, do you mean to think about when you will start attacking our planets again? it is not as easy as you might think, taking Agnaris planets, being weakened, but not harmed, having a ceasefire, changing the homeplanet, regaining the old strengh and restarting the attacks will not be posible for you if you really want peace, you can be sure that we will not reject it other imperators will message you soon Back to top PortisheadGuest Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2008 11:04 Post subject: Declaration VII of the Houes Brothers in Arms Dear all, a lot of personal changes have occured, so i have to say that for the moment my interests are not any more on ruling my realm. I dont have the time nor the possibility to govern the huge and unbundled numbers of planets in a satisfying manner. This may change after months, when i think im more interested in small scale attacks on who ever. But for now i say Goodbye, i had a long and good time here, so enjoy your Lordship and dont bother with thoughts, act! More important: you can take everything from me i can give you. Or what you are able to take. Personally i would like to thank RobinHood, michimike, SPOT, Claudio, APO, Agnar, Gondor and, by far greatest, Chrysander. For good times, hard fights and enjoying something my *real* friends never understand. I hope that most of my realm will find responsible successors.

In the midst of the Clippers' 129-97 runaway victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday came the news that Caron Butler suffered a bruised left elbow.
It was all going so well for the Clippers too, because they had seven players score in double figures, including all five starters.
Even Butler had 15 points, five rebounds and three assists before he grabbed his elbow in pain at Staples Center. Butler went to the locker room with 3 minutes 58 seconds left in the third quarter and didn't return.
Clippers Coach Vinny Del Negro said Butler received an X-ray during the game that revealed the bruise. Del Negro said Butler will get an MRI exam Monday.

Jessie J has warned of the dangers of using online networking websites, branding them "mentally unsafe" for youngsters.
The Price Tag hitmaker insists the world of social media has become increasingly dangerous as it fuels bullying and means children can even be tormented while sitting in their own home.
She tells British newspaper The Observer, "Children used to get bullied at school. Now they go home and that's where the problem starts, because they sit on their phones all night, thinking about who's 'liked' a photo of them, who hates them, who loves them.
"They don't know what's real and what's not, editing their lives constantly to fit other people's views."

Ohhhh boy…this so embarrassing.Via Twitchy:
JAY CARNEY FOUND! BOLO canceled. Oh, crikey. He's standing in front of a graphic of all his faces. No laughter. twitter.com/michellemalkin…
— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) May 15, 2013
Was Jay Carney trying to disarm the press by poking fun at himself? Was he trying to shift attention away from the administration's many scandals by focusing on himself?
Did they really refuse to laugh as Michelle Malkin reported on Twitter?
Ohhhhh boy….
Okay, now I'm officially feeling sorry for Jay, and that's just not right.

N.M. to provide back-to-school clothing assistance
Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:17:54 GMT —
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Gov. Susana Martinez's administration plans to distribute about $1 million in assistance to help children in low-income families and foster children prepare to return to school.
The Human Services Department will provide $50 for each eligible low-income child for back-to-school clothes. Federal money will cover the estimated $755,000 cost.
The aid will help about 15,100 children and will be distributed through electronic benefit cards to qualifying families.
The Children, Youth and Families Department will provide foster families $100 to buy back-to-school supplies and clothing for each foster child who is age three and older.
About 1,500 to 1,600 children could qualify for the assistance, which will cost up to about $160,000 and is financed with state money in the agency's budget.

Early into his career as a financial advisor, Eric R. Ervin was keen to observe how his biggest clients had built their wealth.
It quickly became clear to him, he says, that fortunes are made by building businesses, not through a paycheck. Ervin left his Morgan Stanley practice and a comfortable lifestyle to help launch Reality Shares, an ETF provider in San Diego.
Ervin explains how his experience working in wealth management helped him create a new business.
Where did your idea for the business come from?
I was with Morgan Stanley in the mid-'90s, as a young financial advisor. But I had a great mentor, and he said, "Eric, I know you're going to do fine. But your goal shouldn't be to build a big book of clients. Your goal should be to become a client." I always thought about that. As a financial advisor you have this beautiful perch to just look out and see how all these people created significant wealth. None of them did it with a paycheck. So I always had that in the back of my mind learn from them, do what they do.
A couple of people then came to me and they wanted to start an ETF shop. One of them was a very good friend of one of my clients. He was Mike Rosen and he had built Rochester Capital Advisors, the mutual fund firm. He had sold it to Oppenheimer and then came out to San Diego and started a convertible arbitrage hedge fund, grew that over a billion, and wanted to then get into the ETF business. But they really didn't have a concept. So they were coming to me at Morgan, asking for my help from a business standpoint. I had been noodling on this idea for 10 years, and my clients were so frustrated with the market. I just wanted to do something purely based on the reality of how companies were doing.
At that point, you were itching to get out of the wirehouses?
I was itching to see this concept come to life, to see the product hit the market; for 15 years, no one had created it. So at that point, these two people had come to me with the idea to start an ETF business. I suggested to them how I would do it. So they said, "You have to quit your job, this is going to be a phenomenal idea, because we don't want to be fighting with Morgan Stanley over whose idea it was."
I had a phenomenal business at Morgan Stanley, with a really good income and book of clients. So that was a hard thing to turn away.
Can you explain your decision process? How did you weigh this?
We used to tease (as advisors): For the first five years of your life, you're overworked and underpaid, and then for the rest of your life, you're underworked and overpaid. So I had arrived, everything was good to go, I could just about put it on autopilot and continue to gain new clients. But I still had that itch that's not wealth creation, that's income creation. That's a comfortable lifestyle, but there's no $100 million check at the end of the rainbow. And there was also the challenge, I was ready to do something and complicate my life, to go into battle again and make it tough again. And boy, I did it. Fortunately they decided to seed the company. They said, "We'll put in the first check but you have to go out and raise capital. You're the CEO, it's your company. We're here for you if you need us, but don't rely on us to write you checks, because it's not going to happen."
Were you in a management role of that scope before?
At Morgan they would lean on me quite a bit for the training program, so I was the mentor for all the new associates in the San Diego area. In any office I've ever been, I've always gravitated to those kinds of responsibilities. Our team was head alternative investments coordinator for the region. So I was in that role, but it was a small staff. Also, I was always curious, and I was involved in every client's business, in how they would grow and shrink their businesses. My advisor role was like an MBA, and I was essentially learning from all these great businesspeople as to how they did it.
How was it going from your position at Morgan to being an unknown, knocking on doors and pitching your idea?
Part of it was getting the audience. Once you had the audience, you were OK. If you could just get me on the phone with these people, then we could explain some of these things.
