TEMP . CONTROL MIN MAX SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE STORING FOOD ● ● ● ● ● ● Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor. Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and melons. Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills! When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients. Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even. Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise. FREEZER COMPARTMENT ● ● ● ● ● Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen. Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrition. When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack. It is recomended to load food at least 15mm against back of freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment. Loading for Freezing - It is recommended to load newly introduced foods on the following position for freezing: Newly Introduced Food ● Freezer Door Basket, marked ( storage of frozen food (optional). ) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT ● Avoid placing moist food on deep interior refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact with chilled air. To avoid this it is better to store food in the covered container. ● It is desirable to store moist food (especially vegetable and fruit) in the vegetable storage compartment. If it is necessary to store on a shelf of the refrigerator, put it close to the door away from the back wall of the refrigerator to avoid being frozen by the cool circulating in the refrigerator. Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped clean, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling. ● ● When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in a up-right position, which keeps them fresh longer. 20 CLEANING It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wipe up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Before you clean, however, remember that damp objects will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands. INiR PARTS - Wash compartment shelves, door racks, storage trays and magnetic door seals etc. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or dish washable solution to clean the inner lining of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. WARNING Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts(lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Heather Sellers of the Hope College English faculty is author of "The Boys I Borrow," a new book of poetry published by New Issues Press.
The poems are a real-life look into marriage, raising teen age boys, and Nintendo. Sellers looks back at her own childhood in Orlando, Fla., contrasting her experiences there while watching stepsons come of age in the Midwest. Billy Collins has praised the collection as "sensitive and clever," and Beth Ann Fennelly has described the world evoked in the book as "rendered with painterly precision and tender humor."
Sellers recently gave readings at Georgia State College and University and Montgomery Community College in Philadelphia. On Friday, Nov., 16, at 7 p.m., Third Stone Art Gallery, located at 120 E. Main in downtown Fennville, will host a book party that will include a short reading and book signing as well as music and refreshments. The event is free and open to the public.
Sellers has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1995. A professor of English, she teaches poetry, fiction and nonfiction workshops, as well as a course designed for teachers who want to write.
She is the author of two previously published volumes of poetry: the chapbook "Your Whole Life," and "Drinking Girls and Their Dresses." Her fiction includes "Georgia Under Water," a collection of short fiction; and, with Amy Young as illustrator, the children's book "Spike and Cubby: Ice Cream Island Adventure!" Her books also include two guides for writers: "Page after Page: Discover the confidence and passion you need to start writing and keep writing (no matter what)," and "Chapter after Chapter: Discover the Dedication and Focus You Need to Write the Book of Your Dreams." She also has a textbook for the introductory creative writing classroom forthcoming, and this fall is on a leave of absence from teaching in order to complete her memoir, "Face First," about her experience with prosopagnosia, or, face blindness.
Nearly 50 of her poems have appeared in journals, anthologies and magazines, including "Louisiana Literature," "Ascent," "The New Virginia Review," "Gulf Coast," "Hawai'i Review," "Barrow Street," "The MidWest Quarterly" and "So To Speak."
Her short fiction, memoir and creative nonfiction appear in journals, anthologies and magazines, including "The Best Stories of the New South" and "Falling Backwards: stories of fathers and daughters." Excerpts from "Face First" appear in "The Best Creative Nonfiction" (W.W. Norton & Co. Inc.), and the work is one of 100 notable essays included in "Best American Essays."
Her short story Hunting" from "The Chattahoochee Review" was listed in the "100 Distinguished Stories of 1991" section of the "Best American Short Stories." Recent prose has appeared in "The Sun," "The Madison Review," "The Southeast Review," "The Writer," "Writer's Digest," "Beloit Fiction Journal," "Five Points" and "The Massachusetts Review."
Sellers was one of only 41 writers nationally to receive a National Endowment for the Arts grant for 2000-02 to create original work or translate work, through which she completed "Georgia Under Water." "Georgia Under Water" was named a finalist in the 2002 "Paterson Fiction Prize" competition and in 2001 was recognized in the "Discover Great New Writers" program of Barnes & Noble bookstores.
She holds her bachelor's, master's, and doctorate from Florida State University.

A variety of memory and logic devices, including DRAM (dynamic random access memory), SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory), Flash memory (NAND or NOR), CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphics processing unit), etc., are widely used in computers, digital music players, gaming devices and mobile internet devices. For instance, since SDRAM was introduced to computers, further generations of SDRAM (DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3) have entered the mass market, with DDR4 currently being designed and anticipated to become available in the coming years.
In the case of stacking multiple devices or heterogeneous devices, chip-to-wafer (C2W) bonding may be preferred over wafer-to-wafer bonding due to yield and interconnection issues, where known-good-dies (KGDs) are attached to the good dies in the bottom device wafer only. Chip-to-wafer bonding through metal-metal thermo-compression mechanisms, such as CuSn IMC (intermetallic compound) bonding or Cu-polymer hybrid bonding, is widely expected to be used for future TSV applications.
With these bonding methods, where the inter-diffusion is proportional to temperature, pressure and time, it is not economically feasible to perform the bonding process at a single-die level. The basic idea behind Advanced Chip-to-Wafer (AC2W) bonding is to split the bonding process into two sub-steps. The temporary pre-bonding with alignment is performed on a typical pick-and-place machine, whereas the permanent bonding of KGDs is performed as a batch process in a dedicated EV Group's AC2W bond chamber.
The permanent bonding process requires a controlled, homogeneous, perpendicular force to be applied on every single chip due to non-uniform distribution of KGDs on the base device wafer. A non-uniform KGD distribution can result in a possible shift in the center of gravity away from the actual center of the bottom substrate. This occurrence requires a controlled shift in the center of applied force during the bonding process in a chamber. A true KGD stacking can be achieved through the control of the center position, the absolute value, and the direction of the applied force, which is the main feature of EV Group's AC2W bonding system. Please see our related products EVG®540C2W and our EVG®560 for detailed information.

Direct die-to-wafer throughput can be optimized for 3D TSVs with this two-step process. The TSV dice are aligned and placed onto the landing wafer using a pick-and-place tool (top). The fully populated wafer is then moved to a wafer-level bonding tool where pressure and heat are applied simultaneously to all stack dice (bottom). Source EVG.

I was going to write this up for Mixology Monday this month, but I'm not sure it qualifies. This month's theme is shooters, and to be honest, that just doesn't really appeal to me. I've done shots too many times in my life, but I've never really enjoyed them. If I'm going to shoot back booze in one gulp, I'd rather knock back some whiskey than a shooter.
So I didn't know what to write up. My wife recommended sangrita, but that tends to be sipped alongside tequila. Rick's criteria (in the comments here) indicate that a shooter is anything you gulp back in one shot. We didn't do that with the sangrita or the tequila, so I don't think we qualify. But because I love you, my sangrita recipe follows the photo and the jump.
photo by Jennifer Hess
Sangrita is a traditional Mexican chaser for tequila, and there appears to be some dispute over the ingredients. Some say it's citrus sweetened with grenadine and punched up with either salsa or dried chilies. Other people go crazy and puree up onions and peppers and garlic and whatnot. Still others insist that no sangrita should include tomato juice, whereas others are more lenient as long as you don't use so much that it tastes like a Bloody Mary.
I wasn't really sure where to turn, so I winged it. I figured equal parts tomato and citrus would definitely keep it from the Bloody Mary camp. What resulted was a blend so balanced and tasty that I want to keep a jug of it in the refrigerator for breakfasts and hangovers.
Note: I departed from the usual bitter orange because my wife is allergic to oranges.
makes approx. four 1½ servings
- 2 oz. good-quality tomato juice (I used this)
- 2 oz. fresh Meyer lemon juice
- 1½ oz. homemade grenadine
- 2 tsp. chipotle powder
- 1 pinch salt
Technique: Stir until chipotle powder dissolves. Chill in fridge for four hours. Serve in chilled shot glasses alongside tequila. (I served Espolon Reposado.)

OK, now >>I'M<< confused. According to Wikipedia (which merely reinforced my existing impression): Middleware is computer software that connects software components or applications. Although one CAN stretch its definition to cover things like sshd, postfix, and basic network services, they are generally NOT considered middleware -- middleware (in clustering) is more like MPI or PVM, xmlsysd, ganglia, although it isn't quite that either. The term evolved to describe software that serves as the base for a common UI fronting distributed services on inhomogeneous architectures, e.g. providing a coherent user interface to webware or application servers across architectures. "Grid" software is usually considered middleware. For pure clusters, PVM might be called middleware to the extent that PVM was designed to support OS-inhomogeneous clusters with a more or less consistent interface (although its development greatly preceded the invention of the term) where MPI (which is much more commonly OS-homogeneous) might not. Vincent makes enough sense that we -- sort of -- know what he means, but in the context of this discussion, calling standard unix services "middleware" is probably a moderate misuse of the term. One thing that I've noted in this discussion is that it is being conducted in a quite polarized way. Clusters range from PHPC in all sizes (there Jon, I used the term:-) running coarse grained not terribly synchronous down to EP applicaions, with one limit being indeed a "grid" where middleware IS likely an issue, to large scale (in all respects) VHPC ("Very" HPC:-) systems designed to run very large tightly coupled codes. Jon was basically pointing this out (as were several others). If you run PHPC clusters and the applications for which they are appropriate, you could care less about turning off daemons and so on. There is still something to be said for running a reasonably tight system and not running extraneous daemons, but this is equally true for LAN workstation clients (and these are clusters that would and do work fine as NOW/COW setups, or setups that permit a user to distribute applications across parts of a "dedicated cluster" and parts of a LAN using background time on installed workstations). The rule for good sysadmin in general is "if you don't need it, don't run it" but of course if you DO need it, running it is fine up to the point where it impacts performance and becomes a cost-benefit issue. If you run VHPC clusters, that is by definition where running even useful services impacts performance and becomes a cost-benefit issue. For these clusters (which VARY in scale and the communication properties of their hardware and code) one has to consider each desired service separately in the context of what's going on, and given the heterogeneity of what might be going on architecturally and in application space, OF COURSE YMMV and no single solution is going to be "the correct thing to do" for everybody. This leads people who run such clusters to go in and optimize their setups by making CBA decisions. It is undeniable that having postfix or some other mailer on to permit background monitoring process to generate mail to the systems manager if something odd is happening, even on a VHPC cluster. Oddness on a node (by definition for VHPC) is "delay" and can cause nonlinear slowdowns of the entire cluster. If a node chokes and nobody notices for hours, well, that's hours of lost progress, and if lack of attention causes a node to crash, it might well take a tightly coupled code with it and cost one days of work (times the entire cluster). OTOH, there is a nonlinear cost associated with running postfix itself that one has to trade off against the benefit. You are trading the certainty of some degradation of overall cluster performance against the relatively low probability of avoiding a catastrophic loss of cluster performance that is many times greater and longer in duration. However, you're NOT AN IDIOT, you're a cluster systems engineer, linux god, programmer extraordinaire, and you're used having your cake and eating it to (if necessary, making your own cake from scratch). So you investigate ways of mitigating the degradation while using postfix -- enforcing tight synchronicity across the cluster nodes, bringing up postfix or sendmail "by hand" inside a script in non-daemon mode and using it as an MTA to deliver any messages built by checkup programs in the same script (and never using it as a daemon at all). If that is still too heaviweight you cleverly think up and test alternatives -- generating your log messages and using rsync inside your script to write them back to a tree on a head node (again, highly synchronously across all the nodes, so you perhaps waste a second or three out of every N seconds, N tuned to your comfort level, but at least you ensure it is the SAME second) and then running anything you want on the head node to gather the information and generate alerts and mail them to you. If rsync (with its encryption, handshaking, requisite shell and e.g. cron script) is still too heavy -- perhaps you don't want to run cron at all -- you look into xmlsysd to see if IT will scale well enough if the head node polls all nodes WITHOUT the overhead of a shell script or cron, but with an unavoidable serialization of the gathering process. If it still costs you too much time per N seconds of polling, you can look into scyld/beostat and get something that approaches the practical limits of scalability for tightly coupled codes (which is clearly what you are using). And I'm sure there are MORE alternatives to consider all the way up and down the chain, and you are CLEVER and CAPABLE and if none of these solutions suits you and your particular code mix, you are perfectly capable of rolling your own, inventing something that provides the information and services that YOU require while leaving your application within acceptable performance bounds. This discussion is useful -- even VERY useful, I'd say -- but it would be good for everybody to bear in mind that we aren't just comparing apples and oranges, but an entire universe of fruit. The issue isn't that "it is always bad to run useful daemons on cluster nodes" it is more "WHEN is it bad to run WHICH daemons on cluster nodes and what can I do to cover the useful to essential services those daemons provided when I can't just use them in the default/easy way and how can I tell if the daemons I'm running are in fact degrading performance?" The latter in particular puts the discussion in just the right context, and perhaps can help us all reduce the ad hominem that is arising as one party says "Bananas!" and another insists (shrilly) "No, you fool! Pineapples!", with a couple of others quietly claiming that although rare and expensive, "Persimmons" are the only fruit worth eating and have been shown to have essential antioxidants besides. So let me formalize this suggestion. * WHEN is it bad to run at least some of the common service daemons on cluster nodes? When will it not matter? * How can you tell if common service daemons you might have running are impacting performance? * If they are impacting performance, what can you do about it (ideally without losing the benefits of the services they provide)? * What are the COSTS of mitigating the performance degradation? This can range from "the hassle of setting up and learning to use X" to "building your own custom kernel and toolset" to "buying solution Y from the following vendor who has solved the problem for you". And don't pretend that there are no costs at any level other than the "it doesn't matter what you do, the marginal cost of running a fat workstation configuration on your nodes with everything turned on are STILL a negligible fraction of one percent of total system compute capacity" as is the case for the embarrassingly parallel NOW/COW PHPC limit. Answers from the third * above all have costs, and even determining the answer to the second * IS a cost of sorts. rgb > > This assumes my understanding of middleware is correct in that it is a > package or entire system that simplifies things by being somewhat > blackboxed and ready to go.

NAC: Stanford San Francisco Study Report Shows Blood Glutathione Improvement, Possible Survival Benefit
October 6, 2000
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
A placebo-controlled trial in over 60 HIV-positive volunteers found that NAC (N-acetylcysteine) significantly increased abnormally low blood and T-cell levels of glutathione, an important antioxidant found in every cell in the body and essential for life.(1) The report was published October 1 in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Also, a follow-up two to three years after the original study found that those volunteers who had taken NAC (either by random assignment in the 8-week placebo-controlled study, or by choice in a 24-week open label period which followed, or both), had less than half the risk of death of those who had not taken NAC (this study was conducted several years ago, before protease inhibitors were available). While the survival difference was highly significant statistically (p < .0001), this study cannot prove that NAC was responsible for the difference, because it was not designed to look for survival differences, and had "a potential bias introduced by the self-selection of a proportion of placebo-arm subjects who elected for open-label NAC, and by the [inability] to obtain detailed follow-up information (drug usage, cause of death) for trial subjects once they completed the open-label trial segment."(1) NAC did not change viral load, CD4 count, CD8 count, or other currently used "surrogate markers" of HIV progression. (Low glutathione level appears to be a strong predictor of risk of death in persons with HIV(2) -- but it is not yet known if glutathione level could be a surrogate marker for drug development.)
The trial was conducted in San Francisco from 1990 to 1996, and selected HIV-positive volunteers who were in relatively good health, but were found to have a low blood level of glutathione. Its recent publication prompted an extensive literature review by the authors, who found an impressive body of recent articles on glutathione levels and health benefits of NAC treatment, not only in HIV but in many other diseases as well. (For some of the citations to articles published within the last three years, see "NAC and Glutathione: Recent Publications," in this issue.)
The authors believe that the low glutathione level which develops in many patients with HIV disease is a nutritional deficiency which can and should be corrected. "Glutathione is a central component of all cells, and glutathione deficiency is associated with poor prognosis in many, many diseases," said Leonore (Lee) Herzenberg. "The level of glutathione is tightly regulated in cells. If nature has gone to the trouble of maintaining those levels, logic says it should be restored to that level if you can. It's like a vitamin deficiency. Any vitamin deficiency would immediately be corrected, and we believe that this is equivalent to a vitamin deficiency." (Quoted from Stanford University press release, Sept. 27.)
There is reason to believe that Tat, a toxic protein produced by HIV, may strongly reduce glutathione levels, in addition to its other effects; for example, a study published this year found that mice which were genetically modified to produce HIV-1 Tat have very low glutathione levels.(3) This suggests that the low glutathione levels found in persons with HIV could be a specific effect of this virus -- not only a consequence of malnutrition or other effects of illness. And because low glutathione can cause many adverse health effects, this mechanism might be important in HIV disease progression or severity.
The authors also cite evidence suggesting that persons with HIV should avoid acetaminophen (Tylenol® and other brands), since it tends to lower glutathione levels, potentially causing problems in persons whose levels are already too low.
Since NAC is inexpensive, and safe enough to be used with minimal medical supervision, the authors note it could be made available in developing countries.
Note: Glutathione levels in whole blood or in T cells -- which in theory could be used to identify patients most in need of supplementation -- are hard to measure accurately, and these tests are unlikely to be generally available in the near future. But NAC appears nontoxic and is fairly inexpensive, so there seems to be little "down side" to using it.
Restoring Glutathione LevelsGlutathione is made up of three amino acids (glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid). In HIV and certain other diseases there is reason to believe that cysteine is usually the limiting factor most responsible for an abnormally low glutathione level. Too low a level of glutathione is harmful in many ways (and causes death from liver damage if it becomes low enough). But cysteine cannot be taken by itself, because it is toxic if used that way.
Glutathione has been sold as a health-food supplement, but most researchers believe that it can be provided more efficiently by other substances which can safely deliver the needed cysteine. Of these, NAC is the best known and most available. Another drug, Procysteine or OTC, has been tested in clinical trials; it appears to be generally equivalent to NAC, with the main practical difference being that it is not in common use and therefore can be patented more effectively. It is not generally available today.
Oral NAC has long been used in Europe for treating bronchitis and other conditions.(6) The European preparations are packed in argon in individual doses, or provided in sealed tubes with instructions for use within a limited time after opening, or otherwise carefully protected against oxidation. In the U.S., NAC has been sold as a health-food supplement without such packaging and without necessarily the same quality control (at least one AIDS buyers club has imported a European NAC for years -- see "Availability," below). We have not heard of problems with U.S. health-food products, but the Herzenbergs are concerned about quality control, and have worked with companies to introduce a version of NAC like that used in Europe.
Historical Note on NAC and AIDSUntil recently most of the medical and research interest in NAC has been in Europe. Twelve years ago Dr. Wulf Droge in Germany wrote to colleagues around the world suggesting that NAC be researched for possible use in HIV. One of the letters came to the Herzenbergs at Stanford University, who since then have been the major champions of NAC HIV research in the U.S. But so far this treatment possibility has been largely ignored by other U.S. AIDS researchers.
Part of the reason is a report several years ago which appeared to show that NAC is not orally bioavailable. In fact, oral NAC has been tested with apparent success in a number of medical conditions -- and is even FDA-approved in the U.S. in very large doses for treatment of acetaminophen overdose poisoning. It appears that there were technical problems with the bioavailability study, as NAC quickly leaves the bloodstream since the body uses it to produce glutathione, which is difficult to measure correctly. But the impression persisted that NAC is not a serious treatment possibility. And none of the major pharmaceutical companies have tried to develop NAC as an HIV treatment, probably because it is in common use and not readily patentable (a use patent, which the Herzenbergs obtained, is the weakest kind of patent -- since it usually cannot be used against business rivals who say they are selling the product for some other purpose).
And NAC is a different kind of HIV treatment than the others. It is not an antiretroviral in patients. Also, it is not primarily an immune-based treatment (although there might be some immune benefit -- the data are not yet clear). Rather, NAC is a treatment to correct one specific consequence of HIV infection -- the low glutathione levels in many patients, which could cause many health problems. Since NAC does not reduce viral load, conventional treatments will also be needed. But many people with HIV either do not need antiretrovirals (if they are long-term non-progressors), or do not need them yet, choose not to use them, or cannot obtain them -- and in such cases NAC might be used alone.
The Stanford study was supported largely by grants from the U.S. National Cancer Institute, with additional assistance from the University of California University-wide AIDS Research Program, the Unicorn Foundation (Chicago), and Project Inform (San Francisco). The Elan Pharmaceutical Corporation provided the NAC and placebo.
AvailabilityThe Herzenbergs have worked with a Canadian company, BioAdvantex Pharma Inc., which plans to introduce a NAC supplement similar to the European products (except that it is formulated to not contain lactose, for persons who are lactose intolerant); it should be available under the brand name PharmaNAC (or Thiolex) later this month. When it becomes available it can be ordered at 1-888-550-5350.
Also, at least one HIV buyers' club, the PWA Health Group in New York, has imported a European NAC product for years. Recently the PWA Health Group merged with DAAIR (Direct Access Alternative Information Resources), http://www.daair.org, which currently offers a number of NAC products, including at least one European formulation.
We have no independent information on the quality of these or other NAC products.
Unfortunately, the U.S. has done much worse than Europe in regulating the quality control of nutritional supplements, herbal products, or other health products that people use, but which are not fully recognized by the medical-industrial complex. Much of the reason for this failure may be the lack of a middle ground between the extremes of little regulation, vs. banning many of the products entirely. At least one private company, Consumer Labs, is trying to fill part of this gap with a rating service; it tests supplements, at the request of the manufacturer or otherwise, lists the products that pass on its Web site (http://www.consumerlabs.com), and offers to license its seal of approval to these manufacturers. (A recent testing of SAMe formulations -- a somewhat expensive supplement which might be useful to some persons with HIV or AIDS, but has not yet come to the attention of the AIDS community -- found that half of the products examined did not pass quality control tests.) Consumer Labs may test NAC in the future.

Depleted Canucks beat Flames in shootoutby Kevin Woodley
VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Canucks survived a wild start to win in a dramatic finish against the Calgary Flames.
Chris Higgins scored the winning goal in the fifth round of the shootout to end a game that started with a line brawl almost three hours earlier, and the Canucks rallied from a third-period deficit to beat the Flames 3-2 on Saturday night.
"It was a bizarre start to the game and kind of carried over for a little bit," Higgins said after sliding a backhand deke through the legs of goaltender Karri Ramo. "I thought we stayed with it mentally. It was a tough game to stay with it, but we did a great job."
The brawl two seconds into the game left each team without four players -- and with only four defensemen -- for nearly 65 minutes.
Matt Stajan snapped a 16-game drought with a spinning backhand goal to put the Flames ahead 2-1 four minutes into the third period. But defenseman Yannick Weber tied it on a power play one-timer with 8:12 left and Mark Giordano in the penalty box for the second time in the period. Ryan Kesler won the ensuing draw back to Alexander Edler for a cross-ice pass that Weber blasted past Ramo's glove.
"I realized we were going to be down to four D the whole game and it was going to be a long night for us," said Weber, who tied the shootout in the second round with a shot that trickled through Ramo and into the net. "It was good to finally get a goal on the power play.
"Tying it up and getting the momentum back was good and to win in the shootout, especially that game and how it went, it's a huge win for us. We'll take a lot of confidence and pride out of that one."
Joe Colborne opened the shootout with a shot between Roberto Luongo's legs. But Luongo, playing his first game after missing six with an ankle injury, stopped Calgary's remaining shooters -- Jiri Hudler, Lee Stempniak, Sean Monahan and Mikael Backlund -- before Higgins won it.
"If it wasn't my first game back maybe I would have dropped the mitts too, but I didn't want to get hurt again," Luongo (31 saves) said of the early fights. "Quite frankly I was just focused on my first game and being ready to make a few saves."
Kesler also scored as the Canucks snapped a three-game skid with their second win in 10 games (2-5-4), but it may have been a costly win. In addition to possible discipline for coach John Tortorella for going into the tunnel that leads to the Calgary locker room as the Flames left the ice in the first intermission, captain Henrik Sedin did not play the third period or overtime because of injury.
"He's day to day," Tortorella said of Sedin, who played his 679th straight game despite an apparent rib injury suffered late in a 1-0 loss against the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday. "He tried, but you could see, and I wasn't going to put him at any more risk. ... He's a pro, he tried to do whatever he could to help us, but I had to tell him to take his stuff off."
With both teams mired in lengthy slumps, the game opened with all five players on each team fighting off the opening faceoff. All 10 were assessed fighting majors and eight of the 10 were given game misconducts, leaving both teams with four defensemen and short benches while playing their fourth game in six nights.
Tortorella apologized to the players he had on the ice for the brawl, especially rookie Kellan Lain, whose NHL debut lasted two seconds. But Tortorella wasn't apologizing for putting his fourth line out to start the game after Calgary coach Bob Hartley opened with his.
"It's easy for people to say put the Sedins out there and it's deflated," Tortorella said. "I can't put our players at risk that way. With the lineup he had, I am not going to put those type of players at risk, and that's what ensues. I'm not proud of it. I have apologized to every one of the players involved in it. I don't feel great about it at all."
Hartley said there was no ill intent in starting a line that included Kevin Westgarth and Brian McGrattan.
"Those guys are playing well for us," Hartley said. "They got us a goal last game. We're not scoring many goals. We had zero intentions there. Those guys are playing hard for us. As far as I know, they were the home team. They had the luxury to put whoever they wanted on the ice. He decided who he puts on. It is what it is."
The animosity continued through a first period that ended with 188 penalty minutes and spilled into the intermission when Tortorella had to be restrained after going into the tunnel that leads to the Calgary locker room. Tortorella refused to discuss the incident or the possibility he will face a suspension as a result.
"I lifted my head and there he was," Hartley said. "I don't understand. I got out of there. I don't need to get suspended or fined. There is nothing to settle there. I just don't understand what was going on."
Hartley was proud of how his team played, picking up a point for just the third time in the past 12 games (2-9-1). Giordano also scored and Ramo finished with 31 saves.
"I am unbelievably proud of my guys," Hartley said. "They battled. We played 10 minutes with three defensemen. We were even more short than the Canucks and we kept battling. It's too bad they got that late power-play goal. I thought we played well enough to win."

WOODINVILLE, Wash. — Seven employees at Dynon Avionics got together and talked themselves into creating a flying club. Since they work for a leader in avionics for homebuilt aircraft and LSAs, it was only natural that they wanted access to an experimental aircraft.
They were all hooked on flying, but it didn't make economic sense to individually own and maintain an aircraft. They pooled their resources, built a Sportsman in two weeks via Glasair's Two Weeks To Taxi program, and are now enjoying the results of their effort.
Ian Jordan, who headed up the construction group, said: "The build time was shared by all and it served as a great bonding experience for us. We all have considerable knowledge of what is in the airframe and a high level of respect for taking care of it. It's really an ideal way to start a flying club."
As soon as the Phase One flight testing was completed, the club members started lining up for check out rides and the group is now very active with their new Sportsman aircraft.
"Everyone is very enthusiastic about the plane and the club," said Robert Hamilton, President of Dynon. "They're all very eager to get on the schedule and log time in the aircraft. Other Dynon employees helped on the build, and it was a good educational experience. There are a lot smiles in the shop these days. The big question now is who gets to fly it out to AirVenture this summer."
The Sportsman is a four-place aircraft that can be flown as a tricycle or taildragger, with tundra tires, on floats, on skis and with its folding wings it can be stored in a garage.
