The Rangers scored three times in the final four minutes to beat Boston.
Buffalo is home to Tampa Bay tonight, and the Stanley Cup champions are at the Bell Centre.
• Arpon Basu's playoff check-up
• Marc Antoine Godin on Carey Price
Tonight is the night … Time for the Canadiens to be spoilers for a change, AND advance themselves into the post season! I know that Kane's been sharp, but Crawford is beatable, especially if we play with the intensity we showed Saturday against the Devils.

I want the Leafs to succeed just so we could rip their throats out on the final game of the season – looks like the Rags won't give us that chance.
But come on! He had the most awesome shoulder pads in the game way back when – extended his career at least a couple of weeks. Reminded me of the bg suit that the guy from Talking Heads used to wear on stage – sheer brilliance……. .
"No, I see. The monkey's out of the bottle now!"
Love Pat Hickey's piece on Garth Snow. Is there a more loathsome GM in the sport?
Down in Massachusetts, I saw on Facebook everyone last night was all bent out of shape that the already qualified Bruins were losing. Several of them, friends and family, were expressing the belief that they needed more points to get away from a play-off match with the Habs. This one from my brother," Please, B's don't let this one slip away!", and this one from a comment to him, "Gotta get as many points as we can, don't want same old same old with the frenchies". Now, I'm not French-Canadian, but I'm gonna guess they mean my beloved Habs. Sounds like some people are afraid of us. Bring on the Bruins, and after we are victorious we shall dine on the finest meats and cheeses!
Born and Bred in Enemy Territory (Boston).
We were in Boston last night, celebrating with my daughter, the Bruins fan since she got the acceptance letter yesterday into the Masters of Architecture program she wanted. She said pretty much the same thing – anybody but the Habs in the first round.
Congrats to the lil Rugger…It's crazy the mind lock the habs have on bruins fans,no?
Born and Bred in Enemy Territory (Boston).
They should be. The bruins are "supposed to win" this year. The habs are a crappy team, at least that's what every sports network says. They are small, weak and can't score.
So bruins in 4 right? Oh what, they lost a game? Ok, b's in 5. Uh oh, another loss! B's in 6? B's in 7?
The playoffs are very psychological and I would LOVE to see them choke
LOL….Man, do do you just make this stuff up? How do you sleep at night? Anyone with a brain in their head can see that the Rangers are hot and the Canadiens are not. Would much rather play Buffalo or the gals from Montreal than the Rangers at this point.
If there could be anything resembling a bright side to blowing a 3 goal lead and choking to the Rangers it is the fact that it allows them to tie you on points and make you sweat a bit about even making the playoffs. Hopefully they stay hot and Montreal goes ice cold the rest of the week. I still have those Molsons (oops, wait, they are Heinekens) on ice chilling in hopes of you going into one last losing skid and being able to celebrate the Leafs knocking you out of the playoffs altogether on Saturday. I know it is a long shot, but then again, it was a long shot for the Rangers to win last night, so there's always hope.
Yup Rangers are hot, 3-3 in last 6, 1 so w and so L…that sounds hot?…they have 2 games left and habs have 3…not too worried…I think the habs would do well against the Flyers and Boston, not the caps though. I think the B's are screwed against us and the Rangers, and they need Stafford to not get another hat trick against them, doesn't he almost every game anyway against the B's and for Miller to not play. Heineken? Isn't that german for Pu**y Brew. Molson's not for me either. Any Miller product will do.
And yeah I cleaned up the quotes, this is a family site, no?
Born and Bred in Enemy Territory (Boston).
I like that Boston lost it that way. If we manage to hold 6th place and meet them, they'll be fragile.
if these clowns don't win tonight,,,,,I said it here about 8 days ago,,,,,,need to beat the Leafs Saturday to make the playoffs.
We know how that went a few years ago.
I believe the Habs only need 2 points to clinch a playoff spot. I think the Habs should be able to beat Ottawa Thursday if not the Blackhawks tonight.
You got it twisted buddy … the Habs will have the opportunity to f*** the Leafs out of the playoffs not vice versa.
I predict deafening silence from the Bruins trolls today – much as I wanted the Rangers to lose, I laughed my a$$ off.
Keep your day job cuz you won't make it as a fortune teller. You can laugh all you want, just like I'll laugh my a$$ off at your losing streak and when the Leafs bump you out of the playoffs on Saturday.
Oh, and you can laugh at 7-0 and 3 straight games without scoring, too,
Mike Boone or whoever, the Hamrlyk link brings you to an unrelated Globe story
Good job Booins! Am I the only one to think Thomas deserved 1st star? Vezina my @ss
Garth Snow is a joke of course, but the NHL is behaving shabbily (as usual) in this affair.
Some posters have said the Laughs are eliminated? Is this official? I'm not sure how many non shootout wins they have. If they are, in fact, eliminated it is strange that there is nothing on TSN's website (or perhaps not lol)
They're not eliminated. If they win all their games and the Sabres get no more points, the two teams would have the same number of wins, but the Leafs would get in based on the season series between them – 3 wins each, but one of the Leafs' losses was in overtime.
They are three non-shootout wins behind Buffalo, the only team they can catch. The next tie-breaker criteria is season series between the teams that are tied, which Toronto has shockingly won, getting 7 pts to 6 for Buffalo. Toronto went 3-2-1, and Buffalo went 3-3.
So, these 3 things MUST happen for the Leafs to make the playoffs:
1. Leafs win all 3 in regulation
2. Buffalo loses all 3 in regulation
3. Carolina gets 3 points or less
Not very good odds.
From my understanding, the Leafs not only have to win all 3, but have to win all 3 without going to a shootout…a shootout win will not count as they are judged differently in a tie breaker situation.
Who cares about the Leefs? jeeeeez guys, can we focus on our own problems?
Did anyone see the goals Tim Thomas let in yesterday? Wow he was flopping all over the place and seemed out of position all night. Can't wait for the first round so the Habs can send the Boston "Choke" Bruins packing to the golf course.
Bruins blow a big lead, where have we heard that before? These guys aren't as good as every hockey pundit seems to want to say they are.
Please, they blow more leads than a cheap detective!
Playoff fodder…
"My second favourite team is whoever plays the Leafs"
The most dangerous team is the one no one is talking about -its the Capitals IMO
[Disclaimer]: I'm a hockey fan. I care about the habs, but probably not as much as you.
Or the Montreal Canadiens.
"My second favourite team is whoever plays the Leafs"
Agree with you about the Caps. They're the team I least want to face. If their goaltending holds up, I think they'll get to the Final.
I just had a long conversation with my dad about the exact same thing. The Caps look tight. They worry me.
I think the consensus among knowledgeable hockey people is that the Caps are the best team in the East.
They have been saving their powder for the playoffs all year. They are playing good defensive hockey, and they appear to have found a very good goalie in Brian Holtby.
Spacek's injury and surgery was a blessing in disguise. For a guy of his age, to get a rest of 22 games at this point of the season, can prove a good thing for this team. A rested Spacek can move the puck quicker than some of the glacier D-men. And puck movement from our zone is the key.
— And by the way, Arno Del Curto should be the next coach —
People say this with no level of critical thinking. It's repeated everytime an older player gets injured. Spacek had a bad injury neccessitating surgery. It hurt. A lot. It kept him from working out regularly. It kept him from playing over 20 games. He needs to get back into peak physical condition. He needs to get his timing back.
Moreover, because of his injury, the team had to make additional trades it otherwise wouldnt' of had to. It had to play shorthanded without a defenceman it had pencilled into its strategy.
So which part of this is ablessing in disguise.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 (Xinhua) -- A special briefing session will be held here for the families of missing flight MH370 on Wednesday, a statement from the Malaysian Transport Ministry said on Tuesday.
"The Department of Civil Aviation and Malaysia Airlines will lead the briefing, which will be moderated by the Prime Minister's Special Envoy to China. Technical experts from Malaysia, China and Australia will participate in the briefing, and the Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia will attend," the statement said.
The closed-door meeting comes as the Malaysian government attempts to reduce tension with the families who have been increasingly flying into the Malaysian capital demanding direct information from the authorities.
Previously Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein told reporters that the special briefing will also be telecast live to Beijing so dozens of families in the Chinese capital can also receive the same information in real time.
Hishamuddin himself is in the United States Pacific Command in Hawaii while Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak will fly to Perth on Wednesday to observe search operations first hand.
Hishamuddin is attending the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Defense Ministers' Meeting, which will be held from April 1-3. The meeting is being convened by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
"On behalf of the Malaysian government, I will share with my ASEAN counterparts, and the government of the United States, the latest developments regarding the search for MH370. I will convey to our ASEAN neighbors and the United States Malaysia's utmost appreciation for their invaluable help in the multi-national search effort," he told reporters on Monday.
"I will also use this opportunity to discuss the possibility of deploying more specific military assets, in the event that we need to embark on a more complex phase of the operation. I shall be discussing with the United States, and our other friends and allies, how best we can acquire the assets needed for possible deep sea search and recovery."
Under pressure from media, the Malaysian government has consistently insisted that they have shared as much information as the investigative procedure has allowed and has agreed to release more information if possible within the next few days.

Microsoft Suffers 16-Hour Hotmail, Outlook Cloud Outage
Microsoft apologized to users for a cloud service outage that took down its Hotmail, Outlook.com and SkyDrive services for some users for about 16 hours. Microsoft blamed the outage on a firmware update that went awry, resulting in a temperature spike.
This failure resulted in a rapid and substantial temperature spike in the data center that caused Microsoft's safety measures to kick in, blocking access to mailboxes and disabling failover, Arthur de Haan, vice president of test and service engineering in Microsoft's Windows Services unit, said in a blog post.

Ask E. Jean: My Husband Refuses to Engage in Foreplay
It's all sex, nothing else since our wedding. How do I get things back to how they were?
Dear E. Jean: I've been married one week and my husband won't caress me like he did before we were married. He says he's now my "husband" and he has the right to just "stick it in." He refuses to hug me or touch me, and after I tried telling him honestly what I wanted, he said, "You can't force me to do it." He's a financial analyst on Wall Street, so he's not stupid or sexually ignorant. —Too Premature to Consider a Divorce?

IIH Genetic Study at Ohio State University
While no genetic basis has yet been established to explain idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), there is reason to believe genetic factors may play a significant role. There are clues including the fact that overweight or obese women who have IIH make up a very small percentage of the total number of overweight or obese women in the general population. A possible high incidence of uterine/menstrual dysfunction and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and possibly a higher prevalence of genetic thrombophilia in this population are also potentially significant.
In conjunction with the IH Registry, a genetics research team from Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio is seeking to identify and determine how genes may code for IIH. The IH Registry will help to identify and refer qualified, confirmed IIH patients, who are interested in participating in the genetic study. A minimum of 12 families with two or more blood-related family members with documented IIH (with history out to four generations) are required for the study.
Once a family is identified, the first step is to confirm the IIH diagnosis by having the affected family members enroll in the IH Registry. To confirm the diagnosis, the IH Registry directly obtains extensive medical information from copies of medical records, including lab and imaging studies, as well as physician questionnaires. The IH Registry adheres to the standard Modified Dandy Criteria for confirmation of IIH. Once confirmed, interested patients are referred to the Ohio State team where a request for a blood sample and a detail family tree are required for study entry.

Ready for another spin on the rollercoaster? It's time for our hero to face the music, but it turns out there are more terrifying things than facing a jury when you may or may not have killed a man. Like the realization that you just might be all alone in the world… *whimper*
Ratings broke 20% today: Episode 11 recorded 22.1%, which in the current weekday drama climate is the first big hit in months. (Queen's Classroom: 7.5%. Sword and Flower: 5.4%.)
Shin Seung-hoon – "The Words You Can't Hear" from the OST [ Download ]
EPISODE 11: "I'm sorry I hate you"
We backtrack a little to the break in the trial, and Hye-sung comes in to tell Su-ha about the change in direction—they're going to argue that Min Joon-gook is still alive. Meanwhile he's still having searing headaches accompanied by visions of attacking Joon-gook, and is freaked out to high heaven that he might've really killed him.
He grabs Hye-sung's arm and asks how she can trust him, more than he trusts himself. She simply says he promised her. Su-ha: "Just because of a promise?!"
She sets him straight about what a promise means to him—he searched for her for ten years to keep one little promise he made. That's the kind of person he is, and that's what promises mean to him.
The trial resumes and we catch up to the scene that ended the last episode, with Hye-sung arguing that Min Joon-gook could still be alive, and that he's just as likely to be the culprit behind it all.
They're forced to defend their stance without introducing any new evidence, but thankfully Hwang Dal-joong is already on the witness roll call. He's the clincher in this argument, since the Left-Hand Murder was the case that sent him to prison, and he testifies that he told the story to his prison cellmate Min Joon-gook.
They argue that this case is a copycat one, where Min Joon-gook kills two birds with one stone (er, hand). He gets to disappear and be presumed dead, while Su-ha takes the fall. Now we're talkin'.
The prosecution brings Nice Cop in to testify about Su-ha's outburst in the station (that he'd kill Min Joon-gook himself if they didn't do their jobs), and then when the defense cross-examines him about the time he falsely suspected Su-ha of stealing his gun, Hye-sung does this hilarious finger mime at him: Tell the truth or you die. I'm watching you.
Onto the knife: Su-ha's fingerprints are all over it, but the defense argues that Min Joon-gook's prints are on it too, and he's the last person seen with the weapon, taken on the night he attacked Hye-sung and Su-ha.
So far so good, and the defense seems happy about the direction of the trial. Hye-sung and Kwan-woo even exchange a furtive high-five.
Meanwhile Pretty the Paralegal is still at the fruit stand talking to the ajumma who tipped off the cops, and he gets on her good side by buying two boxes of peaches before making chitchat with her about Park Su-ha being very pretty and glamorous. Ha.
She falls right for the trap and agrees that Su-ha is well-endowed (hahaha) and then Pretty points out that Park Su-ha isn't a girl. She panics, thinking he's here to reclaim the reward money, and shuts him out before he can ask how she reported a person she's never even laid eyes on.
It's time for closing arguments, and Do-yeon actually uses Mom's murder case against them, speaking regretfully about how they let reasonable doubt keep a murderer out of jail when the facts were there in plain sight. She uses a puzzle metaphor, saying that with eighty pieces of an elephant puzzle, it doesn't suddenly turn into a lion without those last twenty pieces.
Kwan-woo gets up to speak for the defense, but Hye-sung changes her mind and holds him back. She gets up and tells the jury that the case Do-yeon just spoke of was her mother's murder, and back then she was the one who cursed the rules and the law, speaking frankly about how she thought it was all for the dogs.
She turns to face Kwan-woo as she says that it's only now that she understands why these laws exist, and now here she is, the person who hated those rules more than anyone, arguing to protect someone with those same laws, and desperately at that.
She uses Do-yeon's puzzle metaphor to say that sure, without those last twenty pieces, an elephant doesn't become a lion. But those twenty pieces could be the difference between knowing whether that elephant is stepping on a person or a ball.
She reminds the jury that if two possibilities exist, then there's reasonable doubt, and adds that putting someone away in the prime of his life is something that they can never take back. She says, voice trembling: "It's the damned law that let my mother's killer go free, but it's also the final straw of the law that could save the defendant's life."
As the jury deliberates, Do-yeon catches up to Hye-sung outside the courtroom, and Kwan-woo overhears them. She asks if Hye-sung isn't the least bit ashamed to her mother, for using Kwan-woo's defense for Min Joon-gook like that.
With tears brimming in her eyes, Hye-sung says that she believes Kwan-woo did the best he could as a lawyer. Do-yeon scoffs in disbelief, adding that she actually feels sorry for Mom, who must be turning over in her grave.
Hye-sung: "No, she would tell me I'm right. She'd tell me I did a good job." Oof, you can feel her willing it to be true even as she says it, and Kwan-woo starts to cry as he watches her walk away.
She goes to the bathroom and washes off all the notes she had written on her hand for her closing argument, and looks up at her reflection. She cries as she asks, "Mom, I was right, right? I did a good job, right?"
And then she breaks down in sobs, and it breaks my heart all over again. As she wails, Kwan-woo stands outside the bathroom, just listening and crying to himself silently.
Kwan-woo sits with Su-ha in the holding room as they wait hour upon hour for the verdict. Su-ha thanks him for everything today, and Kwan-woo says he's the one who should be thanking Su-ha: "You don't remember, but I owe you a big debt."
He says that that debt was what kept him away from Hye-sung, but this trial is his chance to return to her. Su-ha notes that he must like her, and Kwan-woo says he does; a lot.
It's time for the verdict: Judge Kim gives a recap of the case, and it's a nail-biter to the finish, because you can just feel the whole room waiting and waiting and nearly bursting out with tell us the damn verdict already. Or is that just me?
The jury is split 5:4, but after all the arguments are laid out, reasonable doubt is the name of the game, and Su-ha is acquitted. HOORAAAAY!
Kwan-woo fist-pumps and Hye-sung buries her face in her hands, and Su-ha smiles for the first time in eons.
He stands outside in the hallway once the trial is over, wondering where to go from here. Hye-sung comes out and asks why he isn't going home, and he has to point out that he'd like to, but doesn't know where home is. She offers to take him there. But… what about your house?
Lawyer Shin finds Kwan-woo standing in the dark courtroom all alone and asks what he's still doing here. Kwan-woo: "I want to remember it—today, this moment." He explains that he's storing it away so that it gives him strength when times are tough as a lawyer, and that he'll use the memory of this trial to endure.
Hye-sung brings Su-ha to his door and leaves him there, which of course ends up with him pushing random numbers on the keypad lock like an amnesiac, 'cause of… the amnesia.
Thankfully she comes right back and calls the locksmith for him, and they sit in the hallway and wait. Or he could go to your house. Just sayin'.
He asks now if Min Joon-gook is still alive, then doesn't that mean Hye-sung is in danger? Maybe she'd be better off if he killed him after all. I love that he's still worried about her first, even without his memories.
She quickly puts a stop to that line of reasoning, and says that Min Joon-gook being alive is a hundred times better than Su-ha being a murderer. Agreed.
The hallway motion light keeps blinking off in intervals, and when Su-ha claps the lights back on, he sees that she's nodding off to sleep. He sits down next to her with a smile and tucks her mouth closed and pulls her head onto his shoulder. Ohmygah, this, and you don't even remember how much you actually love her.
He takes her hand, and notices the half-erased scrawl marks that she had written down furiously during the trial. He thinks back to it now, and lifts her hand up to his lips and kisses it softly. Kyaaaaa.
He clasps her hand in his and kisses it again as she sleeps. By the time Hye-sung wakes up, she's lying on his couch, and he's fallen asleep resting his head beside hers. She reaches over to touch his face and it looks like she might, for just a split second, but her hand lingers in the air and she pulls back.
She gets up to write a note, and as Su-ha sleeps, he has another memory flash: It's nighttime and he's running for his life, and gets hit by a truck on a dirt road. There's an ajusshi behind the wheel, but it's not Min Joon-gook, and he looks as frightened as anyone.
The memory startles him awake, and he finds that it's morning and Hye-sung is gone. But on the fridge is a series of post-its, like a to-do list of things he needs to do.
Among them are practical things like checking his bank account and seeing a doctor, to taking a high school equivalency exam and preparing for college, to "make a girlfriend," and "don't call me anymore." Boo. Hiss.
Do-yeon tells her parents about the case and the defense's theory about Min Joon-gook copying Hwang Dal-joong's murder, and Dad tenses up again at the name. Lawyer Shin goes to visit Dal-joong in jail, and Dal-joong surprises him with good news/bad news. He's due for an early release, but it's for medical reasons—there's something in his brain and he doesn't have much time to live.
Sung-bin comes by to do Hye-sung's nails, and Hye-sung asks if she's met up with Su-ha. You sure are curious for someone who told him never to call. Sung-bin's due to meet him later today, and Hye-sung asks her for a favor.
Sung-bin meets Su-ha while he's shopping for a new phone, and sticks to him like a giant magnet and wailing that she missed him terribly. He's taken aback, and she swears that he liked her a lot and chased her around all the time. HA.
But Choong-ki arrives just behind her and yanks her away, with the warning not to trust anything she says. Hee, foiled.
He hands over Su-ha's stuff including his journal, and Su-ha asks if they know Hye-sung's phone number. Sung-bin does, but she says that Hye-sung made her promise not to give it to him. Aw, that was the favor? Boo again. Choong-ki sighs that the ajumma sure is playing hard to get.
Kwan-woo moves into a private office across the hall, intending to take cases until he can apply for the public defender's office again. Lawyer Shin doesn't know of ex-public defenders ever getting picked again, but Kwan-woo says he'll just work extra hard.
Pretty the Paralegal helps him move into the new office happily, and then remembers (only NOW??) to tell Kwan-woo about the fruit stand ajumma who reported Su-ha, but didn't even know that he wasn't a girl.
So Kwan-woo marches over to Do-yeon's office, where she's busy applying for an appeal to a higher court. (Is there a loophole in double jeopardy?) He asks why she's not looking for Min Joon-gook, while she thinks it's a waste of time to look for a dead person. So he shares the suspicious story about the fruit stand ajumma, hoping that it gets her wondering.
Su-ha spends his days busily making his way through the post-it to-do list. He does it all with a smile on his face, that is until he gets to the girlfriend one, which he crumples up with a frown. Heh.
He takes a break from studying to read the journal again, and as he ponders the entry we saw him write in the first episode, he has a momentary flashback to a happy moment with Hye-sung, after they figured out how to win the grandpa case.
He repeats the last words of the entry aloud: "I miss you."
He makes a decision and packs the journal in a bag and stops at the fridge. He's down to his last one—the don't call me post-it—and stops to have a staring contest with it.
At the office, Hye-sung jumps out of the way to avoid running into Kwan-woo, thinking of his not-a-proposal from before the trial. He waits to get the jump on her anyway, and doesn't hesitate to ask her now if she'll date him again, like he said he would.
She takes a deep breath… "I'm sorry. My answer now is the same as it was then." His face falls, and he asks if she still hates him. She says with no animosity in her voice that she doesn't hate him anymore. Kwan-woo: "Then can I ask the reason why?" She purses her lips and doesn't answer.
We cut to Su-ha running down the street, searching desperately for her office, literally going up and down streets scanning every sign for a lawyer, and just asking random passersby if they know where Hye-sung works.
Luckily for him, he runs into Lawyer Shin and Pretty the Paralegal, who laugh at his question and escort him inside to their office. Nobody's there, or at least it looks that way to everyone except Pretty the Paralegal, who spots Hye-sung hiding under her desk. Pffft.
Su-ha says disappointedly that he'll try again tomorrow. Hye-sung comes out once he's gone and gives the excuse that she just finds it annoying to have to deal with him now that the trial is over. Said the lying liar who lies!
She heads over to the courthouse for her next case, where she's defending a con artist. An entire group of plaintiffs and victims are waiting to give her a piece of their minds and they attack, pulling her hair and throwing flour at her for defending scum of the earth like him.
Judge Kim comes upon the scene and screams to bring the group to a screeching halt, making it clear that Hye-sung is a public defender who doesn't make money from the case. He walks her to the courthouse expecting a thank you, but she just nags him for publicly taking her side instead, as it might look bad in court.
Just as he's gaping at her, she sees Su-ha waiting for her by the door, and literally hides behind the judge's robes like it's mommy's skirt. HA. And then she orders him to walk ahead while tiptoeing behind him until they get past Su-ha. Who's the child now?
Judge Kim points out that she didn't say thank you for that either, and when he tells her that her skirt's turned around, she just flips it right around and holds her head up high like nothing happened. I love her.
Kwan-woo's ploy works like a charm, and Do-yeon finds herself curious about the things that don't add up. She goes to the fruit stand to find out for herself, and when she threatens to take away the reward money if she doesn't tell the truth, the ajumma admits that a man gave her the tip.
Do-yeon takes out three photos to ask if she recognizes any of them. Min Joon-gook's photo is among them, and the ajumma gets shifty-eyed. She clearly recognizes one of them, but lies that she doesn't, and Do-yeon stops her questions there.
The ajumma gives a nervous glance across the street, and then we see that someone's watching her from a truck… and he has what looks like a prosthetic hand. Oh crud.
It's Min Joon-gook, dressed like a fisherman and sporting a grizzly beard, and yup—he's got a prosthetic hand. Great, they managed to find a way to make the creepy killer even creepier. Thanks for that.
Su-ha waits outside Hye-sung's office and finally catches up to her in the revolving door. She goes for another spin to try and avoid him, but he traps her in until she agrees to talk to him.
She remains cold and distant, and asks what he wants to say. He fidgets nervously, saying that there's so much. He starts by thanking her for the trial, and then asks why he can't call her. She acts like she's far too busy to bother.
He asks again if he really disliked her, and she sticks to her story—that he was rude and nagged her all the time. "What about you? Did you hate me?"
She hesitates, but then says that she didn't just hate him; she hated him to a tiresome degree, with his banmal and acting like an adult. He asks why she defended him like that in court then, and she reminds him that it was all because of Min Joon-gook.
She says that she recovered her (admittedly miniscule) faith in the system through his case and learned what it means to be a lawyer. She gets up and says that she's grateful for that, but that's as far as it goes.
He runs up to grab onto her wrist and pleads, "I'm sorry… I'm really sorry… But even if you hate me, can't you stay? I feel like every string that kept me connected to the world has been detached. If you let go of me too… I… "
And then Kwan-woo picks that moment OF ALL MOMENTS to call her, having followed them there. He sees them inside and knocks on the window, urging her to pick up. He guesses that this is a situation she wants to get out of, and suggests she use a movie date with him as an excuse to leave.
She does just that. Gah, no. You can't leave him there!
He watches them go and suddenly starts to panic with his hands pressed against the window: "Don't go! Don't go!" AUGH, how can you go like that?
He runs after them, but they get in a cab and leave him behind, still crying for her not to go. She turns back to look at him, which just hurts even more.
She thanks Kwan-woo for the rescue, and he insists on seeing her home. Su-ha sits outside the coffee shop and the moment actually brings back a memory of the time he saw Hye-sung and Kwan-woo together, when he felt that same pang in his heart. "There must've been another time just like this one."
Hye-sung settles in for the night, but then it starts to rain, and she gazes out her window.
Kwan-woo stands at the bus stop with his briefcase over his head to shield the rain, and then sees Hye-sung running back out with an umbrella to catch a cab. Eeeee, is she going where I think she's going?
He thinks back to their earlier conversation, when he'd asked the reason why she didn't want to date him. We go from Kwan-woo at the bus stop, to Hye-sung in the cab, to Su-ha sitting on the stoop in the pouring rain.
We go back to her answer earlier that day, as she starts to say that it doesn't make any sense at all, but…
Cut back to her arriving at her stop… It's the coffee shop! It's Su-ha!
Back to her answer: "That kid just keeps worrying me." She walks over to him now in the rain, and he looks up with his puppy eyes, lighting up the second he sees her. She mutters aloud at him: "You drive me crazy."
And then back again to finish her answer: "It doesn't make any sense, but… I think I like that kid." Eeeeeeee!
She crouches down in the rain and lets the umbrella fall out of her hands and asks what on earth she's going to do with him. He just looks back at her with this smile… In flashback she tells Kwan-woo that she's going to get over it—she has to, and she can.
Su-ha picks up the umbrella and holds it over her to shield her from the rain, not caring that he's getting soaked. He just meets her troubled expression with a beaming smile, as if daring her to get over it.
I'm making a sound only dogs and bats can hear right now.
This is So. Great. I actually didn't expect her to come around this quickly. I knew we were in for a big fat vat of denial, but THIS. Her copping to her feelings sooner than I expected totally makes up for the episode of pain. Causing Su-ha's heartbreak back when he had a one-sided crush and could read her mind was one thing, but the lies to keep him away when he's powerless and adrift—that was killing me. I can never hate her, because she's clearly doing all of it to deny her feelings. It's just that the whole puppy in the rain thing is too much for my bleeding heart to handle.
Poor Kwan-woo finally got his answer, though the non-answer the first time he non-asked the question should've been a giveaway. I haven't minded his mode of persistence so far, because it's optimistic, not invasive. I certainly screamed at him for the first time ever when he called Hye-sung out of the coffee shop today, but given the reveal of her answer to him earlier, I can see why he'd think that's what she wanted. And she's the idiot who jumps at the chance to run off and thanks him for it, because she's up to her eyeballs in denial. The thing I'm worried about is that he's going to either become invasively persistent from here on out, or that Hye-sung will even use him to try and get over Su-ha. I can actually see the latter happening, which I hope isn't the case, for Kwan-woo's sake.
I was genuinely surprised that Hye-sung admitted her feelings so soon (to herself that is), and I love that she did so while Su-ha has amnesia, because it's a way to fabricate the reversal—this time she loves him first, if only because he doesn't remember how much he loves her. And it was a great use of the fact that he can't read her mind anymore. She takes advantage of that and lies profusely to fuel her denial, and he can't counter anything she says. But this time it isn't Su-ha who calls her out on her lies, and there's nothing better than the fact that she comes back for him on her own.
So far we're using the amnesia in a great way—Su-ha's reversal is even more poignant than Hye-sung's, especially when he breaks down in the coffee shop. After a lifetime spent being a protector, when he pleads with her to stay by his side like she's his lifeline, he seems more childlike than ever, and vulnerable and alone. And of course it's all the sweeter because we actually get to see Su-ha fall in love like it's the first time. There's just something about the way he repeats similar actions without knowing it that really gets me in the heart—protecting her, being there for her to lean on, getting soaked to shield her. Like the memories are incidental, but the person is the same. It's not so cut and dried, of course, but I like that romantic notion that even if everything else changed, he'd still be Su-ha and he'd still fall in love with her all over again.

terminal diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is the best thing that has ever happened to him. Game of Thrones star Wilko Johnson may have less than a year to live, but the actor/musician says his
In an interview with Radio 4's Front Row, the actor, who is also the guitarist for rock band Dr. Feelgood, explained that his death sentence has given him a new appreciation for life — and for the first time, he's happy.
"We walked out of [the doctor's office] and I felt an elation of spirit. You're walking along and suddenly you're vividly alive," he said. "You're looking at the trees and the sky and everything and it's just 'whoa.' I am actually a miserable person. I've spent most of my life moping in depressions and things, but this has all lifted."
"Right now it's just fantastic — it makes you feel alive," he said. "This position I'm in is so strange, in that I do feel fit and yet I know death is upon me."
Johnson reportedly only has as long as ten months to live, and opted to forgo chemotherapy after being told it would only buy him another two months at most.
During the time he has left, the artist plans to complete an album and play both a mini-tour of France and goodbye gigs in the U.K.
"If the cancer kicks in before that, then I can't go on stage," he said. "I'm not going to go on stage looking ill... I don't wanna present a sorry spectacle! I'm not hoping for a miracle cure or anything. I just hope it spares me long enough to do these gigs... then I'll be a happy man."
Johnson's manager Robert Hoy announced the diagnosis on the star's Facebook page at the beginning of January, writing, "He said he wants to make the very best of the time he has left, playing and partying when he can. He is currently in good spirits and is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity."
"Wilko wishes to offer his sincere thanks for all the support he has had over his long career. From those who have worked with him to, above all, those devoted fans and admirers who have attended his live gigs, bought his recordings and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience."
Johnson lost his wife Irene to cancer eight years ago.

UniProt is the universal protein database, a central repository of protein data created by combining Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL and PIR. This makes it the world's most comprehensive resource on protein information.
The UniProt ConsortiumEdit
The UniProt Consortium comprises the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB), and the Protein Information Resource (PIR). EBI, located at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus in Hinxton, UK, hosts a large resource of bioinformatics databases and services. SIB, located in Geneva, Switzerland, maintains the ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) servers that are a central resource for proteomics tools and databases. PIR, hosted by the National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF) at the Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC, USA, is heir to the oldest protein sequence database, Margaret Dayhoff's Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure. In 2002, EBI, SIB, and PIR joined forces as the UniProt Consortium.
The Roots of UniProt DatabasesEdit
Each consortium member is heavily involved in protein database maintenance and annotation. Until recently, EBI and SIB together produced Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL, while PIR produced the Protein Sequence Database (PIR-PSD). These databases coexisted with differing protein sequence coverage and annotation priorities. Swiss-Prot is recognized as the gold standard of protein annotation, with extensive cross-references, literature citations, and computational analyses provided by expert curators. Recognizing that sequence data were being generated at a pace exceeding Swiss-Prot's ability to keep up, TrEMBL (Translated EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Data Library) was created to provide automated annotations for those proteins not in Swiss-Prot. Meanwhile, PIR maintained the PIR-PSD and related databases, including iProClass, a database of protein sequences and curated families. The consortium members — all dedicated to the same goal of providing expansive and meaningful protein annotation, and all with solid foundations stemming from decades of activity — decided to pool their overlapping (and, importantly, their complementary) resources, efforts, and expertise. The UniProt databases build upon these solid foundations.
Organization of UniProt DatabasesEdit
The UniProt databases consist of three database layers:
- The UniProt Archive (UniParc) provides a stable, comprehensive sequence collection without redundant sequences by storing the complete body of publicly available protein sequence data.
- The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central database of protein sequences with accurate, consistent, and rich sequence and functional annotation.
- The UniProt Reference Clusters (UniRef) databases provide non-redundant reference data collections based on the UniProt knowledgebase in order to obtain complete coverage of sequence space at several resolutions.
Funding for UniProtEdit
UniProt is mainly supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant 1 U01 HG02712-01. Minor support for the EBI's involvement in UniProt comes from the two European Union contracts BioBabel (QLRT-2000-00981) and TEMBLOR (QLRI-2001-00015) and from the NIH grant 1R01HGO2273-01.

Kwoks 'paid HK$34m in bribes'
Related topics
Ex-chief secretary Rafael Hui Si-yan took more than HK$34 million worth of bribes from the billionaire Kwok brothers and two others in return for favours, the ICAC alleged yesterday.
The graft-buster charged Thomas Kwok Ping-kwong and Raymond Kwok Ping-luen - co-chairmen of Sun Hung Kai Properties - and Hui with bribery and public misconduct.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption alleged that between 2000 and 2009 Hui received almost HK$30 million in cash, more than HK$5 million in loans and the rent-free use of a luxury flat in Happy Valley, where he now lives.
In return, Hui is accused of favouring the brothers while he was the city's No 2 official, and also during his time as an executive councillor, while chairman of the steering committee of the West Kowloon Cultural District project, and as head of the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority.
Hui, 64, faces eight corruption charges. Thomas Kwok, 59, faces two charges and Raymond Kwok, 58, faces three. No pleas were entered in the Eastern Court hearing, which lasted about 30 minutes.
Magistrate David Dufton adjourned the hearing until October 12 to allow prosecutors to prepare papers and seek overseas legal help.
He allowed bail for the Kwoks, Hui and two other men charged: Sun Hung Kai's executive director Thomas Chan Kui-yuen and Francis Kwan Hung-sang, a former official of the Hong Kong stock exchange.
Hui's bail was set at HK$500,000, and the Kwoks' at HK$10 million. Hui and Kwan were ordered not to leave Hong Kong.
Last night, in a clear sign that the company was making contingency plans for a worst-case scenario, Adam Kwok Kai-fai, 29, the son of Thomas Kwok, and Edward Kwok Ho-lai, 31, the son of Raymond Kwok, were appointed as alternate directors to their fathers with immediate effect.
Thomas and Raymond will continue as joint chairmen and managing directors.
It had been 117 days since the ICAC sensationally arrested the Kwoks and Hui.
As he left court to face the media pack, Raymond Kwok said: 'I am thankful for the attention given to me by friends from the media.
'I believe I have not done anything wrong, and that Hong Kong's judicial system is very fair. I will do what I can to dismiss the accusations, so as to show I am innocent.'
Thomas Kwok repeated three times: 'Thanks for caring.'
According to lawyers there will be 41 witnesses in the case, mostly civil servants, but not Walter Kwok Ping-sheung, the eldest of the brothers.
No charges were brought against four other suspects, including Walter Kwok, who was arrested in May, soon after his brothers. The four reported back to the ICAC yesterday and had their bail renewed after being arrested in March or May.
Of the company's reshuffle, an analyst who asked not to be named, said: 'It is a kind of contingency plan in order to prevent a management crisis in case the co-chairmen are found guilty.'
Thomas Kwok spoke to the media at the company's headquarters in Wan Chai at 7pm, and was joined by the full team of nine senior managers, including Thomas Chan.
'The [management] changes will further strengthen our corporate governance structure and will ensure that the company continues to develop steadily. I have full confidence in SHKP's prospects,' Kwok said.
'I cannot make further comments on the matter at this time, but I have confidence in the judicial system of Hong Kong and trust that the truth will prevail eventually.'
Mike Wong Chik-wing and Victor Lui Ting - who have each served the company for over 30 years - were appointed deputy managing directors.
SHKP requested its shares, and that of its two subsidiaries SmarTone and Sunevision, be suspended from trading at 9.48am, pending the release of the ICAC announcement. Trading of the shares would continue on Monday, the firm said last night.

Had never heard Oregon's arrangement of "Witchi..." before. Was just playing Jim Pepper's (the original?) the other day. More summer songs please. The Fantastic Baggys maybe? Sat. 7/9/11 9:52am RHenderson:
Beautiful selection of falsetto leads, Bob. I'd forgotten how that Beach Boys track presaged the arrangements on 'Pet Sounds.' Does Del Shannon count in this context? Or Todd Rundgren's 'Pretending To Care'? Sat. 7/9/11 10:04am Mr. Two-Arms:
Bob, I just realized that I've listened to your show every Saturday for a number of months now, and I've never said hello or thank you. So, "Hello," and "Thank you." Great show. Sat. 7/9/11 10:21am Jim Duffy:
This "Love Me Baby" sounds like a minor-key version of "How Sweet It Is." Sat. 7/9/11 10:55am Marmalade Kitty:
Thanks drr..I have my old browser back, problem sloved!:) ..the newer version was rubbish (applications etc moved around for NO good reason..??)

Vampire movies are scary. Lawyers for companies that make vampire movies are downright frightening. Just ask Daiana Santia, the Argentine computer hacker who allegedly leaked production photos and video from the upcoming "Twilight" movie.
Summit Entertainment announced Monday (Aug. 1) that it's suing Santia and filing criminal charges against the Argentinian for allegedly stealing images and footage of the upcoming film, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1." A series of low-quality stills and a 14-second clip from the film hit the Internet earlier this year.
In the photos, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) were apparently on their honeymoon, causing many "Twilight" fans glee, although those on Team Jacob were probably more than a little disappointed. Summit, well, they were downright depressed.
"[We're] extremely heartbroken to see it out there at this stage," Summit said at the time.
That tone became much more litigious in recent days now that Summit believes they've located at least one of the perpetrators.
David C. Friedman, Summit's executive vice president and general counsel, says in a statement, "In an action that further communicates that those who steal images,
video and other intellectual property will be identified and prosecuted
globally, Summit Entertainment communicated today that it has identified
the principal hacker who earlier this year stole unreleased materials
from 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' which were then distributed on the Internet.
"It is believed that others may also be involved in the crime
and thus the investigation is on-going," Friedman adds.
"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1" is set for (legal) release on Nov. 18.

Lady Gaga Bribes Vogue Editor With Bagels
"T and me" was the way Lady Gaga described herself and boyfriend Taylor Kinney taking a dip in the pool. The hot and steaming photo had the lady in question wearing dramatic eye lashes lined with eyeliner but very little else. She has also been extremely inquisitive and tried to peek at the Vogue cover for next month. The reason? It has a picture of her on the cover which is the reason behind her trying to influence the editor of the fashion mag with…yes you heard it right!...Bagels !
What Is Lady Gaga Up To?
She has been having a great time ever since she made up with Kinney. She apparently took him out to Joanne's, a restaurant owned by her father. The eatery located on the Upper West side of NYC serves Italian food but Lady Gaga did not actually do it a favor by offering what she considered an honest criticism of the food. She had also opted to greet the customers when she dropped in for Art Smith, the Chef's birthday. The restaurant food has received a lot of flak meanwhile and no amount of cajoling by Lady Gaga insisting that the meatballs were good or that the calamari was excellent could really win over the clientele.
Lady Gaga On Vogue Cover
Lady Gaga loves to be in the news though and she has recently revealed about appearing on the Vogue cover of September. This is deemed to be big indeed as the magazine is all set to increase its page count with the September issue. She has been leaving no stone unturned in trying to get a sneak peek of that cover, currently kept under wraps. Her recent tweet read, "Don't worry I've been txting Wintour all morning trying to get that cover queens." This refers to Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue who has been receiving bagels from the lady, keen on satiating her Narcissistic urges by looking at herself on the Vogue cover. Whether Wintour can be won over by bagels or will she consider it to be a battle of complex carbohydrates is yet to be seen though. However, the two seem to be the best of friends for now with each of them texting the other regularly.
Do you really think that bribing the Vogue editor with bagels is shocking enough for Lady Gaga? Or does she have more shockers ready to be unleashed? Do keep reading. We will be back with more on the lady.

mounting external XFS HDD
I'm try to mount my external HDD with XFS but i got error:
mount_xfs /dev/sd0a /mnt/flashdrive/ mount_xfs: Device not configured Code:
umass0 detached umass0 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "JMicron USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge" rev 2.00/1.00 addr 2 umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only scsibus1 at umass0: 2 targets, initiator 0 sd0 at scsibus1 targ 1 lun 0: <SAMSUNG, J1TL415479, 0-12> SCSI2 0/direct fixed sd0: 286168MB, 36481 cyl, 255 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sec, 586072368 sec total What are I'm doing wrong Thanks in advance |
I see two problems, the second is just me over-analyzing.
1) mount_xfs(8) is not for SGI's XFS file system: Quote:
Here's what works for me to mount a flash drive:
sudo mount -t msdos /dev/sd0i /mnt
that's it. if you have more than one scuzzi and this doesn't work, try sd1i, sd2i, sd3i etc. depends on the number of scsi's. |
Not necessarily. If nine other FFS partitions exist on the disk, then the first foreign filesystem will be lettered "j". The definitive answer is to check the output of disklabel(8) to find the exact partition letter.
Some may wonder why "i" is typically seen as the partition of MS-DOS partitions. Disks can only identify sixteen partitions, & "i" is the mid-way between the end-points "a" & "p". |
This is a horribly outdated post made a few years back, no doubt by a user who is long gone.
Why are you reviving it Bill? especially with information that is generally known and/or mentioned in the FAQ? Heck, even my response to him is outdated, mount_xfs was renamed mount_nnpfs as few releases ago. |

Russia evacuates its citizens from Syria
MOSCOW — The Kremlin's evacuation of Russians from Syria on Tuesday marks a turning point in its view of the civil war, representing increasing doubts about Bashar Assad's hold on power and a sober understanding that it has to start rescue efforts before it becomes too late.
The operation has been relatively small-scale — involving fewer than 100 people, mostly women and children — but it marks the beginning of what could soon turn into a risky and challenging operation.
Analysts warn that rescuing tens of thousands of Russians from the war-stricken country could quickly become daunting as the opposition makes new advances in the battle against the Syrian president.
"It's a sign of distrust in Assad, who seems unlikely to hold on to power," said Alexei Malashenko, a Middle East expert with the Carnegie Endowment's Moscow office.
Russia has been Assad's main ally, pooling together with China at the United Nations to block international sanctions against his regime.
But it has increasingly distanced itself from the Syrian ruler, signaling it is resigned to the prospect of him losing power.
On Tuesday, four buses carrying about 80 Russians crossed into Lebanon, the first evacuation organized by Moscow since the start of the Syrian conflict nearly two years ago.
The land route was presumably chosen because of renewed fighting near the Damascus airport. One of two planes sent to pick up the Russians took off late Tuesday from Beirut for Moscow, and the other was set to take off soon, the Emergencies Ministry said.
Malashenko said the evacuation reflected a strong concern in Moscow that Assad's fall would put Russians in grave danger. "There is a strong likelihood that Assad's foes could unleash a massacre of those whom they see as his supporters," he said.

Acrobello's OT goal lifts Oilers past Panthers 4-3
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.
Mark Arcobello scored his first two goals in the NHL, the second in overtime, and the Oilers snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers.
Edmonton went on the power play after Florida's Scottie Upshall was called for tripping 32 seconds into the extra period and Arcobello rifled a slap shot from the left circle that got past Florida goalie Jacob Markstrom 1:23 later.
''I just tried to hit the net,'' Arcobello said. ''It just topped off a good night and we had a big win.''
Taylor Fedun scored his first career goal and Philip Larsen also scored his first goal of the season for Edmonton. Devan Dubnyk made 20 saves. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two assists.
Upshall scored two third-period goals and Marcel Goc also scored for the Panthers. Markstrom stopped 23 shots.
Florida has lost six straight and nine of its past 10.
Upshall tied the game with 57.6 seconds left on a slap shot from the left circle. His first goal came at 10:04 of the third when he took a pass from Jesse Winchester from the right circle to the high slot. His shot got past Dubnyk on the right side.
''It was nice to come back, but some mistakes and some errors on our part tonight cost us,'' Upshall said.
After the first period ended 1-1, the Oilers scored two goals in 33 seconds early in the second. Arcobello shot from just below the left circle and the puck went high into the net at 2:06 to make it 2-1
The Oilers had been shut out the past two games and outscored 9-0.
''I thought we took some baby steps in the right direction,'' Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. ''I liked that we stayed in the fight.''
Fedun, playing in his first NHL game, tipped in a pass from Nugent-Hopkins at 2:39. Fedun was recalled from AHL Oklahoma City on Monday.
''I don't know if I knew what just happened. It happened so fast,'' Fedun said. ''I don't think I processed it right away. I didn't even know what to do.''
Fedun seems recovered from the right femur he broke in a pre-season game at Minnesota on Sept. 30, 2011. He played the entire 2012-2013 season in Oklahoma City.
''It was awesome to get out there in the first place, get my legs under me and have my first game,'' Fedun said. ''There was some tough times, but (this) was the ultimate goal dangling in front of me.''
The Panthers took a 1-0 lead in the first on the goal by Goc. Jonathan Huberdeau passed from the right side to Goc in the center. His wrist shot beat Dubnyk on the glove side at 10:35. It was just the fourth time the Panthers scored first in 15 games this season.
Florida has lost four of five games that went past regulation this season.
''Those are points that are slipping away,'' Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said.
The Oilers tied it during four-on-four play with just over three minutes left in the first. Nugent-Hopkins brought the puck down along the boards on the right side. He slid a pass to Larsen in the slot and his wrister beat Markstrom at 16:59. It was the first goal scored by Edmonton in 172:46.
NOTES: This was the first stop on the Oilers' four-game road trip. ... The Oilers have won eight of their last nine games against the Panthers, including five straight on the road. ... Oilers LW Ryan Smyth returned after missing seven games with a groin pull. ... Florida C Winchester has six points in his last nine games. ... Florida RW Kris Versteeg returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for the first time in his NHL career Saturday at Washington.

EVERGREEN, TEXAS (Washington County). Evergreen was on the border of Washington and Lee counties. The area was first settled during the period of Stephen F. Austin's colony in what later became far western Washington County. In the early period of colonization the locality was called Waco Spring. In 1837 Waco Spring was the site of a famous battle between the Waco Indians and Tonkawa Indians, who had inhabited the central area of Washington County before Anglo settlement of the region. Evergreen had a post office between 1858 and 1877, and at one time had several stores, but they had closed by 1876. The exact site of the community is unknown, but it is probably covered by Somerville Lake.

It's hard to believe that it's been a full two decades since Tracy Chapman first burst onto the scene with her classic self-titled album, one that proved that there's still appetite out there for artists brandishing an acoustic guitar and a bundle of superb self-penned folk songs. Chapman beat the long odds she faced in the slick, synthesized eighties with simple but unforgettable melodies and direct lyrics about the dichotomy of hope and despair. Her fuss-free approach connected with listeners whether it was the quiet desolation of "Fast Car" from the 1988 debut or the surprising straight blues of "Give Me One Reason" seven years later.
Last month, Chapman marked her twenty years as a recording artist with her eighth effort, Our Bright Future, and she resolutely follows the same winning formula she established way back in 1988. With Chapman sticking close to her long-established template of no-nonsense, socially conscious modern folk, the one aspect that's going to separate Our Bright Future from prior efforts is the production. This time, Chapman turned to Larry Klein, fresh from helping Walter Becker produce his Circus Money album from earlier this year and earning a Grammy for Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters of last year.
Selecting Klein to produce (with Chapman co-producing) was a logical choice, and for reasons that go beyond Klein's recent surge in star power. Klein produced several albums for another major female folk singer-songwriter in ex-wife Joni Mitchell. And this wasn't the first time Klein had worked with Chapman; he played bass on that seminal first album.
No Tracy Chapman record could ever be accused of being weighed down by overwrought production, but Klein went the extra mile to make Chapman's music organic and warm. Compared to the prior release Where You Live (2005), which was still fairly rootsy under Tchad Blake's production, Future's ambience delves even further into the past. It's laden with hand-made percussion, minimal backing vocals, and ensembles kept small…even Chapman herself can be hear counting off at the beginning of some of songs. Indeed, Klein kept Chapman close to her coffeehouse beginnings.
At the same time, he brought in some big-name session players to support Ms. Chapman. Preeminent drummer Steve Gadd and organist Larry Goldings were borrowed from James Taylor's touring band, and rounded out by Dean Parks on guitars and Klein himself on bass. Other tracks used younger session stars in Joey Waronker (drums), Rob Burger (keyboards), and Joe Gore (guitars), while Klein stayed on bass. These musicians never threatened to take any spotlight from Chapman, but when you listen closely, you find they are making good songs even better. In spite of using two different sets of personnel, the album stayed cohesive under Chapman and Klein's direction.
Like many Chapman tunes, the simplicity of many of the tracks presented here are deceptively so and the soul of these songs reveal themselves over several listens. At the same time, a few Chapman songs hit the bullseye right form the start. For this CD, it comes right at the beginning: "Sing For You" is an utterly sunny, singable ditty reminiscing about serenading radio songs to a loved one. Chapman even adds wordless "doo-doo-doo's" that along with a pump organ emphasize the easygoing flow of the song.
Chapman also deals with matters of the heart with the contemplative "Thinking Of You," and the gentle country-soul of "A Theory" and "Conditional." Salvation and the belief in a one true religion are cleverly examined on "Save Us All" with sharp lines like "But if pride goeth before the fall/I hope someone's God will save us all."
But social concerns as seen through liberal lens have always been Chapman's bread-and-butter topic and those type of songs make up some of the strongest tracks of the album. The title track poignantly questions the point of war, while "Something To See," imagines a world without it. "The First Person On Earth" offers sympathy for those victimized by natural disasters, as a ghostly sounding violin occasionally underlines the anguish.
Tragedy at the more personal level is examined on the sweet, soulful "For A Dream." As she did so effectively on "Fast Car," Chapman's narrator clings to some small consolation and hope as the only way to deal with an emotional pain.
Much as "Give Me One Reason" was that odd, out-of-place song on New Beginning (1995), this record's curveball comes in the form of a cabaret, "I Did It All." A parody of the type of person who thinks his/her life is more scandalous than it really is, Chapman's sweet vibrato is, come to think of it, the perfect voice for a song that mimics the lounge music of the Jazz Age.
Twenty years later, Tracy Chapman's music has shown little growth or change, but so what? She presented music that was fully realized at the start. The best route to go from there was to fine tune an already winning format. With the help of a sympathetic producer and crack session players, Our Bright Future has the goods that Chapman's listeners are looking for and perhaps a little bit more.
