Try it with a non warlord halfling and EM, trust me. EM means you don't need mana potions, 2 debuffs is all you need, and you get to be a warlord on top of what you are allready (you do need to find the cydstep). If scumming is an issue, go wizard so you at least know where the glyphs are, or transmuter so you can lemisi them. For raw power go Rogue and pad out your health with a Vine From ar two right at the start, but you do need to scum up a cydstep.

Dogs and owners: enough is enough
It is baffling how some owners appear to be totally oblivious of the effect that their dog's prolonged barking has on their neighbors, and how bad-mannered and utterly rude they are by allowing it.
As we move toward spring and the time for open windows and gardens, the problem of these chronic offenders becomes even more significant and distasteful. I have owned many dogs, and I know that the animal's behavior is simply a reflection of the owner' sensitivity – or lack of – to his or her surroundings.
Dogs bark: it is natural and to be accepted. But when one dog is allowed to bark for an extended time, at all hours of the day, this is unacceptable, and the fault falls exclusively on its owner's lack of social sensitivity.
In my neighborhood there are a few examples of this impoliteness; the medal for rudeness and for the worst environmental sound pollution has gone, for several years, to the owner(s) of a dog near my home. The dog can be heard throughout the day, from as early as 6.30 a.m. to as late as 11.30 p.m., all the way to Lincoln Drive and St Martin Station, and probably beyond.
Unfortunately, while dogs can be trained rather easily – they are usually smart animals, eager to please, and several low-budget training devices are available, which can be very effective, particularly if accompanied by the owner's command – humans may be much more refractory to feedback from neighbors. Perhaps public pressure may help: Victims of such chronic intrusions in their "sound space" may want to unite and identify in this paper the most significant offenders!
It may work…

Nine Norwood-Fontbonne Academy staff members who have served the school for more than 25 years will be honored at a special ceremony at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, in the Rotunda at Chestnut Hill College.
The tenure of these honorees ranges from 26 to 44 years of service. Despite different backgrounds, various roles at NFA and unique expertise, the honorees are united by a deep passion for the academy and gratitude for the opportunity to touch the lives of so many children.
Saying "the students are the life of NFA," junior-level Montessori teacher and honoree Sister Roseann Tribuiani, SSJ, said, "I have learned so much from the children about simplicity, honesty, forgiveness, generosity and tenacity – most importantly, I have learned how much they are a part of the threads of my life."
Tribuiani has been teaching first, second and third-graders in the Montessori program for 29 years.
Christine Shields has worked as an aide in both the Montessori preschools and the creative interactive kindergarten. For 36 years, she has helped NFA's 3, 4 and 5 year-olds develop a deep love of learning and exploration.
Shields described her three decades at NFA as a wonderful blend of experiences.
"(It's) a collage depicting a life of service, personal satisfaction and friendships which I will cherish forever," Shields said.
Charles "Chuck" Seaton's NFA memories are as much in the classroom as on the field. He started teaching at the independent Catholic elementary school in 1969 and for the past 30 years, has regularly coached boys' varsity football and basketball teams.
"He was probably the best coach I ever had," said Jim Rockenbach, NFA alumnus ('94) and current teacher who played football and basketball for NFA and later at St. Joseph's Preparatory School.
Anna Marie Croney, currently a math and science teacher for seventh and eighth-grade NFA students, works tirelessly to foster a love of math and sciences. A NFA teacher since 1987, Croney has been instrumental in developing the NFA's science program which today includes the Robotics Club, Lego League, the whale-watching trip, Wissahickon Watershed Testing, and other meaningful and engaging science opportunities for children.
Every day Franklin Owings Jr., known affectionately as "Mr. Chips," transports 3, 4 and 5-year-olds around the academy's 14-acre campus. These short rides are full of songs and giggling children. Owings is a NFA alum and has worked at the Academy for 32 years in the facilities department. He enjoys watching the preschoolers grow to become eighth graders.
"I like being part of their memories," Owings said.
Overwhelmingly, the honorees' comments on their experiences at NFA reflect a true love for the children, passion to teach and respect for peers.
"I never cease to get choked up when I see the outcomes – when the accomplishments of NFA alums who are graduating from high school are shared," said Joanne Baillie, director of admissions and an honoree with 26 years of service. "I am forever in awe of their achievements."
Prior to serving as director of admissions, Baillie taught fourth, fifth and sixth grade for 15 years. When asked to describe the three best aspects of NFA, she replied, "People, people, people." Baillie credits a tremendous staff and supportive families to enhancing her experience.
Rosaria Hosmer has been teaching English Language Arts for two decades and created "The Procedure," a copyrighted technique for teaching grammar.
"Teaching students in a faith-filled environment and working with my colleagues" she said were the favorite aspects of her role.
Joining this distinguished group of honorees is Sally Pavlick, NFA kindergarten teacher for 27 years and Anne Porter, physical education teacher and beloved coach of girls' field hockey and basketball who has served as athletic director as well.
These honorees have witnessed the academy's significant growth over the past few decades. Black chalkboards have been replaced by Smartboards, science lessons go well beyond the walls of the classroom, and everywhere 21st century learning is present. The physical plant has been completely renovated and updated but the core mission of the academy has not changed.
"NFA graduates go forth ready to embrace fully the life of secondary education as scholars, athletes, and leaders," said Sister Mary Helen Beirne, NFA head of school. "Our amazing staff has created an environment and nurtured this success. We honor their service and dedication."
All are welcome at the dinner-dance celebrating NFA and these extraordinary staff members. Contact Stephanie Belzer at 215-247-3811 or email@example.com for tickets or questions.

About Beringer Vineyards
Beringer Vineyards Facts
Founded in 1876, Beringer is the oldest continuously operating vineyard in the Napa Valley. Brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer chose Napa for its rocky, well-drained soil, reminiscent of the land in their native Germany.
Fast forward to 2012: Beringer's Winemaker Emeritus, Ed Sbragia, departed for a new project, leaving longtime co-winemaker Laurie Hook in charge. Hook, a native of Sacramento, graduated from the winemaking program at the University of California at Davis in 1984. She cut her teeth in Australia and Sonoma before arriving at Beringer in 1986. In 1997, she was named assistant winemaker to Sbragia and in 2000 was promoted alongside him to full winemaker.
Beringer makes wines from its fourteen different vineyards throughout Napa Valley. The Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, decadently rich and sweet in the early going but with a track record for aging well, is harvested primarily from the St. Helena Home Vineyard and the Bancroft Ranch Vineyard on Howell Mountain.
Varietals Produced at Beringer Vineyards
Grapes in the Private Reserve Chardonnay come from Big Ranch Road Vineyard and Yountville Vineyard, both located in southern Napa Valley. Other varieties grown by Beringer include Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Viognier.
Beringer is now Beringer Blass, owned by Foster's Group of Australia, who purchased Beringer in an unprecedented $1.5 billion dollar deal, merging it with its Mildara Blass wine division. Today, Beringer Blass's portfolio has expanded to include such wineries as Chateau St. Jean, Chateau Souverain, Meridian, St. Clement, Stags' Leap Winery, Etude, Wolf Blass, Greg Norman Estates, Jamiesons Run, Black Opal, Castello di Gabbiano and Campanile.

Kelley Lovelace and the country music stars who've benefited from his talent with a lyric have a forgetful Army sergeant to thank.
A guitar player from an early age, Lovelace didn't even think about being a songwriter until he was told to guard some equipment out in the woods at Fort Benning, Ga., during a training session.
"They forgot about me for 12 hours," he said. "It was nothing heroic or dangerous, but I had time, so I wrote a song. I was stuck and bored. I don't think I ever thought about writing a song or anything before that. Maybe a poem to impress a girl once."
Lovelace, 44, now is a veteran of the Nashville songwriting scene, with 13 No. 1 country hits to his credit. He's co-written hits for his buddy Brad Paisley, as well as Carrie Underwood, Rascall Flatts, Jason Aldean, Sheryl Crow, Kenny Chesney and Trisha Yearwood.
"He has a very simple but eloquent way with his lyrics," says Lesly Tyson, vice president of promotions at Arista Nashville. "He writes things in a way that no one else does, but people connect with."
But back at the Fort Bennings barracks, Lovelace had to have another soldier's help to put music to his freshly penned words. The song was called "The Things I Value in Life" and Lovelace still remembers the first line.
"I've got seven pairs of cowboy boots/One for every day of the week/ Some I wear to work and some I wear to church and some I wear to wade in the creek."
The song was never recorded, but he was energized by the experience -- more toward a career as a singer than a writer, though.
"I never thought, 'Hey, I want to be a Nashville songwriter.' I didn't even know such a thing existed."
Once out of the military, he joined a couple of bands around Chattanooga before becoming a part of 27 South, the house band at a local club. At some point, Blake Lassiter, a Nashville songwriter who lived here, asked the band to learn a couple of his songs so he could guage the crowd reaction. Eventually, Lassiter asked Lovelace if he wanted to write together.
"Again, I didn't even know people did that," Lovelace said.
The two wrote a song called "Blue Collar Row," and Lassiter liked it enough to make a demo and he invited Lovelace to Antioch, Tenn., to record it.
"Then I did my first demo and it sounded like [expletive] and that's when I knew I would not make a living singing," Lovelace said.
But the experience inspired him to try writing more and also to pursue music on a more serious level.
He worked for a while as a singing busboy at the Stationhouse at the Chattanooga Choo Choo and continued working there while attending Belmont University, where he earned a degree in music business. While at the school in the mid-90s, he met singer Brad Paisley when the country music star was just another student.
Since then, the two have written numerous songs together, including "He Didn't Have to Be," Paisley's first No. 1, which was inspired by Lovelace's relationship with his stepson McCain Merren.
"Brad and I went out on my porch at our apartment after dinner and he said, 'You really love that little guy, don't you?'" Lovelace recalls. "I told him being a stepdad was easier than I feared it would be. You just play Nintendo a lot."
The two started out with only the first line: "When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new/It always winds up feeling more like a job interview."
While the song was based on his relationship with his stepson, Lovelace also thought about his wife Karen, the boy's mother. He and Paisley decided that "we ought to write something that makes Karen cry."

This week, Norfolk Circuit Court Judge Charles Poston dismissed a felony charge of child cruelty against a child care director who ran a program where 7-week-old Dylan Cummings died in May of 2010. What happened? What's the issue?
Like "A Tale of Two Cities," a Charles Dickens' novel, this is a story of two types of child care in Virginia: licensed care and what's called "religiously exempted child day care centers." But, this isn't a Charles Dickens' novel, it's real life. And, in this story, a baby died.
Betsy Cummings of Norfolk learned as a new mother to never lay her baby down to sleep on his stomach. She learned to place him to sleep on his back to reduce the likelihood of SIDS — Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. She enrolled her son in the Little Eagles Day Care program affiliated with the Bethel Temple Church of Deliverance, but she didn't know that the state had different rules for licensed care compared to church run care. After returning to work for only one week, she received the call no parent wants. There was an incident at the child care center and she needed to come immediately. When she arrived, the paramedics told her that her baby was dead.
Court records show that Dylan was found unresponsive in the nap room after being placed to sleep on his stomach. The medical examiner's report found that he was otherwise healthy and determined the cause of death as SIDS. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), "even when a thorough investigation is conducted, it may be difficult to separate SIDS from other types of sudden unexpected infant deaths, especially accidental suffocation in bed."
Did Dylan die of SIDS or did he suffocate when placed to sleep on his stomach? We don't know. But, we do know that the state of Virginia has tried to pre-empt such deaths in child care licensed by the state. In both VA licensed child care centers and family child care homes, babies are required to be put to sleep on their backs. There are specific monitoring and supervision requirements. There are specific annual training requirements: 16 hours for staff in centers and 14 hours (increasing to 16 hours in July of 2013) for family child care home providers. But, in license-exempt centers sponsored by religious organizations, there are no training requirements. There are no requirements to place infants to sleep on their backs.
According to a Norfolk area newspaper article, state social service workers investigated the Little Eagles center after Dylan's death and cited the program for multiple violations (of the skeletal rules under which license-exempt religious centers operate). The violations included not having enough staff to care for infants in the center. The program has since closed.
Judge Poston said that the prosecutor failed to show that the child care director was intentionally negligent. This is not the first time for such a conclusion. Earlier this year, Juan Carlos Cardenas, a 22-month-old toddler, drowned in a church baptismal at an unlicensed child care center run by Praise Fellowship Assembly of God Church in Indiana. Like the case with Dylan Cummings, the center was exempt from licensing because it was a church sponsored program and was subject to a subset of broad rules, not the specific licensing rules that protect children. In the case of Juan Carlos, the staff lost track of him. He somehow walked away from his peers, through 2 unlocked doors, up a flight of steps, and drowned in the baptismal pool in the sanctuary. Similar to the case with Dylan Cummings, a state prosecutor didn't think there was criminal intent.
Putting aside criminal intent, which courts will decide, what's clear is that there are two standards: a licensing standard intended to protect the safety of children and a lower standard that does not. Training of child care providers is critically important, yet these centers were not required to follow licensing standards with regard to training (including safe sleep practices in the case of baby Dylan). It is time to ensure that all children in child care are safe. This is not about religion. It is not about Sunday school. It is about settings where people are paid to care for unrelated children. Is there any compelling reason why children should be less safe in some centers than others?
There shouldn't be two sets of standards. It just doesn't make sense. And, in the cases of Dylan Cummings and Juan Carlos Cardenas, they are dead. They died in the care of child care providers who operated centers exempt from licensing protections for children. Had the centers in which they were enrolled been required to follow licensing standards, there's a good chance both children would still be alive. But, we'll never know. What we do know, is that children in such centers can be better protected. Hopefully, this is a wake-up call for states like Virginia and Indiana that have two sets of standards. There are lives to be protected.
At a minimum, training requirements should be the same for all centers, regardless of their location or sponsorship. Training makes a difference. Training can save lives. Send an email to your Members of Congress today to require minimum training for child care providers as part of the reauthorization of the Child Care and Development Block Grant.

Quvenzhané Wallis is excited to be an Oscar nominee, primarily because it gives her the chance to meet some movie actors. Yet, when pressed, the 9-year-old star of "Beasts of the Southern Wild" says it's the stars of her favorite television shows "Jessie" and "Austin & Ally" that are most appealing to her.
"I want to meet everybody on Disney Channel and Disney XD that are alive," she said in a phone interview Friday.
Wallis and "Beasts" had been critical favorites since last year's Sundance Film Festival. But the film — which so far has grossed about $11 million at the box office — wasn't widely known in mainstream circles until the Oscar nominations were announced Thursday. "Beasts" racked up four nominations, including best picture and director, and a lead actress nod for Wallis, a resident of Houma, La., and the youngest actress ever to be nominated for an Academy Award.

Wallis celebrated her historical recognition with Thursday evening's Critics' Choice Awards, where she won the best young actress prize. She said she especially enjoyed the party following the show, where she danced with her mom and her brothers, dressed in a sparkly purple gown.

About Kathie Filby
What's your favorite thing about working at Greenville College?
I have worked in Spanish and Mexican schools in Ireland, my homeland. I've also worked as a missionary in Buenos Aires. What I love about my job here is that I can bring these two areas of passion into the classroom: teaching Spanish and sharing my faith. As well as learning about language, literature and culture, we worship God, pray and read scripture in Spanish. This, along with mission trips, is truly faith integration at its best!
What attracted you to the Spanish Department?
I've loved languages for as long as I can remember and have had the opportunity to travel to dozens of countries. As a European I've been surrounded by various nationalities, cultures and languages all my life. I've had the opportunity to study Spanish, Russian, French and Latin. However, I fell in love with the Spanish language and Spanish people while at high school. Not long after I graduated from university I had the opportunity to teach in a Spanish high school in Dublin. There I had the privilege of leading a number of Spanish students to Christ. My time in Argentina intensified that love for the language and for all 'hispanohablantes'. In Greenville I love to meet with students in 'tertulias' and 'tomar un cafecito'.

Minnesota Husband Charged in Death of Wife, Fetus
HASTINGS (AP) — Prosecutors have charged an Apple Valley man with killing his pregnant 37-year-old wife and her fetus.
Thirty-six-year-old Roger Holland is charged with two counts of second-degree murder. Bail is set at $1 million.
Holland called 911 last Thursday to report finding his wife, Margorie Ann Holland, in cardiac arrest at the foot of an apartment staircase. Margorie Holland and her unborn child died at a hospital later that morning.
Roger Holland told police his relationship with his wife was good. But officers found a text message from Margorie Holland saying she planned to divorce her husband.
An autopsy found broken cartilage in Margorie Holland's neck was consistent with strangulation, not a fall down stairs.
Defense attorney Marsh Halberg says Roger Holland has no criminal record or history of abuse.

NEW YORK - The boxer who pummelled opponents with his words as well as with his fast fists rarely talks these days, and his dazzling footwork is a memory frozen on video tape and in the minds of millions of admirers. But the spirit and sparkle in 71-year-old Muhammad Ali's eyes live on through a 30-year struggle against the effects of Parkinson's disease, which has stricken about one million in the United States and six million worldwide.
His daughter, Maryum (May May) Ali, said the man who famously dubbed himself "The Greatest" gets a big kick from watching old footage of himself. "That's his favourite pastime. He loves to watch himself. He loves it," May May told Reuters in an interview on the eve of the annual Parkinson's Unity Walk to advance awareness and education that drew thousands to Central Park on Saturday. "It brings him joy, because he's not that person any more but he can live through his old self. He loves to watch his fights. I love to watch him watching."
Ali was ranked among the 20 most influential Americans ever last year by Time Magazine for his humanitarianism and the inspiration he provided to people around the globe. While he has battled Parkinson's, a progressive disorder in which dopamine levels in the brain decline affecting messages to nerves controlling movement and coordination, May May champions efforts to help educate and promote research into the disease.
"He has 24-hour care and he needs assistance," May May, at 45 the oldest of his nine children, said noting that his condition had worsened over the last three years. "His speech isn't that great. But my father chills out. He watches the Super Bowl, and he gets massages. When I go visit him it's like a little sabbatical with him. I'm like chilling out with him."
"I tell you what was hard for him. It was hard to go out and hear people talking about him," she said. "Because he was proud and he didn't want people feeling sorry for him, because I think he felt better than what they thought he looked like." Maintaining family life was important, she said, which led her sister, Rasheda Ali, to write a book called 'I'll Hold Your Hand So You Won't Fall'. "It's actually a children's book for parents to know how to teach their kids about Parkinson's."
"My father's grandchildren thought my dad was sad or depressed, or didn't like them or didn't want to play, but it was just his face," May May said. "It's called the Parkinson's mask, where the muscles in the face droop in a stoic look where you don't look like you have any emotion. His grandkids had watched old footage of him talking, acting crazy, rhyming, bragging...now they see him and they think 'he's mad at us'. She (Rasheda) told them, 'look at his eyes, see how much fun he's having'."
"We saw slurring of the speech and slowness while he was (still) boxing," said May May. "So there's a really good chance that he had it much earlier than when he was diagnosed (in 1984). We were thinking that whatever he had was from boxing because other boxers have slurred speech." She said her father was never in denial over his condition.
"He was like 'something's happening' and he was trying to figure it out. He was dealing with it. The optimism he had, predicting rounds and calling the knockout and saying he was beautiful and standing up for his faith... he was always confident and optimistic. That was kind of how he was with his disease, too. He's the kind of guy that pushed his body to the limit. If boxing and what he went through in his career didn't put him down, he was not letting shaky hands stop him from going out. That's just his make-up."
Ali continued to travel the world for decades. "He still travels," she said. "He has three homes - in his hometown of Louisville, in Michigan and in Arizona in the winter. You still see him at baseball games sometimes. He lives," she said. "His spirit is still the same."
May May said Ali communicates with his eyes, with his arms, and by "knocking", illustrating by clicking the roof of her mouth with her tongue. "I guess that's from his African roots. It hasn't been super sad for me until maybe the past three years because we have the education and understanding of it. That's everything, because you're able to enjoy them the way they are."
May May said her father never looked back after finally leaving the ring. "He always felt boxing was a means to an end. And that end was to help and serve others." She said Ali, who refused to fight in the Vietnam War as a conscientious objector following his conversion to Islam, grew more and more spiritual. Ali had his world championship title taken away and his boxing licenses revoked before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned his conviction for his refusing induction.
"I think if he hadn't got Parkinson's he would be an Imam," May May said, projecting her father as a Muslim spiritual leader. "He would have been one of the main people on TV defending true Islam and in the time we're living in right now, it would have been exceptional because people would have listened to him."
"He used to propagate Islam with pamphlets. Every time he would sign an autograph he would sign it on a Muslim pamphlet. That was his life. He spent all his time doing that. People don't know that." May May said he was humbled by the response he engendered. "'I met the prime minister of Pakistan. I was at the White House'," she recalled him saying. "'A little old boy from Louisville, Kentucky. Anything can happen, anything can come true'." Asked about his legacy, May May said: "Depends on who you are. If you are Aryan nation you're going to hate him for being a draft dodger. I used to ask him, 'how did you have the guts to stand up against the government?' He said, 'I learned who I truly was as a black man'. He knew he was an equal human being and no one was going to take that away from him. And that was more important to him than a boxing career. I'm a lot like my dad, and I'm proud to say it."

Blackhawks slip by Red Wings with Game 7 OT decision
Chicago, IL – The Blackhawks are back in the Western Conference finals, as Brent Seabrook scored 3:35 into overtime to give Chicago a 2-1 win over Detroit in Game 7 of this Western Conference semifinal series.
In the extra session, Dave Bolland put a big hit on Gustav Nyquist along the boards in the neutral zone and it sprung the puck loose. Picking it up ahead of his own blue line, Seabrook skated up the middle and let fly with a wrist shot that tipped off the leg of Niklas Kronwall, changing direction enough to fool Jimmy Howard to end the game and series.
"I saw Kronwall was a little backed up and coach talks about it all the time, use the D-man as a screen," said Seabrook. "I know Kronwall likes to get down on a knee and block pucks and he's great at it. I just wanted to give it a chance and get it on net and it bounced off Kronwall and went on in."
The Presidents' Trophy winners will now host the Los Angeles Kings, who took out San Jose in seven games, to decide who will represent the West in the Stanley Cup Finals with Game 1 set for Saturday.
Chicago capped its first trip to the conference finals since 2010 in remarkable fashion as the team had to rally from a 3-1 series hole to advance.
Following a 2-0 loss in Detroit in Game 4, which saw the Blackhawks lose three straight for the first time this season, Chicago took a 4-1 win at home in Game 5 then a 4-3 win in Game 6 to force Wednesday's deciding game.
"I commend the guys for their attitude," said Chicago head coach Joel Quenneville. "Their approach after Game 4 and the belief in the room and each other was there. It was a strong season and we had to find a way."
Patrick Sharp scored early in the second period while Corey Crawford turned away 26 shots for the Blackhawks.
The seventh-seeded Red Wings, meanwhile, failed in their bid to make the conference finals for the first time since 2009 and in their last season in the conference.
Due to the realignment, Detroit will play in the Eastern Conference next season so this could be the last time these two Original Six teams meet in the playoffs for quite some time.
Henrik Zetterberg netted the lone goal of the game while Howard turned away 33 shots in the loss for the Red Wings, who were in a Game 7 for the second time in the playoffs as the team went the distance against Anaheim in the quarterfinals.
"We came here expecting to win," said Detroit head coach Mike Babcock. "We had a good belief system in our group and felt that if we trusted one another and played our game we'd have a really good chance to win. I thought we showed that throughout the series."
The game almost didn't make it to overtime as Niklas Hjalmarsson blasted the puck into the net from the top of the left circle with 1:49 to play in regulation. However, the goal was waived off as Brandon Saad and Kyle Quincey were handed matching roughing minors behind the play for getting in a scrum in the neutral zone along the benches.
"It was so loud down there those last couple of minutes on the ice that you couldn't hear any of the whistles," said Howard. "It was one of those things and we were able to regroup and come back for overtime."
Detroit got the first power play of the game when Duncan Keith was called for tripping. Crawford, though, kept the puck out of the net after stopping a Damien Brunner left point shot and Johan Franzen's rebound chance down low.
Chicago had a pair of power plays later in the first, but was unable to cash in as Howard finished the frame with 13 stops and Crawford turned away 11.
The Hawks began the second on a power play that carried over from the first and were unable to score, but lit the lamp on Sharp's seventh of the playoffs at 1:08.
While Detroit was making a shift change, Chicago got the puck and went the other way. Sharp brought the puck into the zone and left a drop pass for Michal Handzus in the middle. Handzus then dished it over to the left where Marian Hossa fed it to the right and Sharp lifted it over Howard for a 1-0 lead.
Crawford had to make a tough save three minutes later when Cory Emmerton took a feed alone to the left of the net. Crawford, though, stopped the shot and controlled the rebound.
Patrick Kane had his shot blocked by Kronwall off a 2-on-1 break 5 1/2 minutes in and Detroit had to kill off a Justin Abdelkader penalty later in the frame.
Crawford again stood firm when Abdelkader fired a shot on net from the right side and Franzen tried to jam it in with under eight minutes to play in the second.
It took just 26 seconds for the Red Wings to tie the game in the third period. Johnny Oduya pinched up at the left point to try to get the puck out of his zone, but Daniel Cleary was able to chip it by him and Nyquist took over. Racing down the right wing, Nyquist fed it over to the slot where Zetterberg was all alone for the easy slam, his fourth of the playoffs.
Game Notes
Chicago is now 6-5 in Game 7s all-time, while Detroit fell to 14-9 ... This was the third Game 7 between these two clubs, with Chicago taking two and this one being the first since the Hawks won a semifinal matchup in 1965 ... The Blackhawks have won nine of the 16 playoff matches against the Red Wings ... Chicago has faced Los Angeles just once in the postseason, a five-game win in the 1974 quarterfinals ... Detroit's Valtteri Filppula left the game nearly four minutes in with a leg injury and didn't return ... Chicago is now 6-1 at home in the postseason ... Detroit went 0-for-2 on the power play as Chicago has killed off 40 of the 41 shorthanded situations it has faced in the postseason ... The goal was Seabrook's first of the playoffs ... Chicago went 0-for-4 on the power play.

Of course photographs are essential when you're trying to document a moment in time. I certainly take a lot more than I print out, so just making the effort to have hard copies of my digital repertoire is a great start. What makes a scrapbook even more special, though, is including actual objects that you can hold and smell. Those are key for transporting you back to the beach, the grass, grandma's kitchen table with her berry pie ... all the things that signify summer for your family. Here are some suggestions for what you can save along the way to capture the season -- until it comes around again.
1. Pieces of nature. Shells and sand. Driftwood. Blades of high grass. Three- or four-leaf clovers (if you're lucky). Pressed flowers. Pine needles. A handful of the seeds that you planted around the house.
2. The front page of the newspaper. It's always interesting to reflect on what was happening in the larger world. At the start, middle, and end of the summer, save the front page of your local paper to give the memory a context. If you are a family of sports fans, save some of the back pages as well.
3. Recipes you tried. So much of summer is about the food -- grilling, taking advantage of berries any way you can. Write out a favorite recipe on an index card so you can save it old school-style.
4. Take documentary-style photos. Not just portraits, but a catalogue of the details that signify summer. Close-ups of blooming flowers, a plate of food you love, the bike your kids learned to ride on. In other words, all the seemingly mundane objects that are beautiful in their own right.
5. Maps. When you take a road trip or an airplane trip, get a hard copy of your destination so you can scribble on it, circle highlights, and trace your journey.
6. Small souvenirs. Gather up business cards from places you visited and bottle caps -- especially if you tried, say, a signature lemonade from a new spot. Pick up intentionally touristy keepsakes like key chains, pens, or mini license plates from local shops.
7. Restaurant menus. Circle what you ordered and write a review of the dish, plus notes like, "The first time she tried tomatoes!" Also, take a photo of your plate (see #4 above). Pocket paper place mats that the kids turned into art projects.
8. Quotes. Write down funny things, amusing back-and-forths. Record where you were, the time, and the date. When they happen, we think there's no way we'd ever forget. But we will.
What would you include in your summer scrapbook?

Getting a college education is one of the most important investments you'll make in your life. But with the increasingly high costs of tuition, figuring out how to pay for your education can be discouraging -- or just downright scary.
Along with aid from the U.S. federal government, you'll want to check out the variety of grant and loan repayment programs available directly from the state of Oregon.
Oregon offers its residents a unique grant for undergraduate education -- the Oregon Opportunity Grant, administered by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission.
The need-based grant provides nearly $10 million to Oregon residents studying at Portland colleges and universities. Recipients must show financial need, be residents of Oregon, and attend a participating school at least half-time (or 6 credit hours).
The Oregon Student Assistance Commission (OSAC) provides access to a number of other scholarships and grant programs, including:
Ford Family Foundation scholarships.
Based in Roseburg, Oregon, the foundation offers a suite of mostly need-based scholarships for students who "understand the values of work, taking responsibility, giving back and helping others." These scholarships include:
- the Ford Scholars Program, for students pursuing bachelor's degrees in Oregon;
- the Ford Opportunity Program, for single parents who are heads of households and pursuing bachelor's degrees;
- the Ford ReStart Program, for nontraditional adult students to begin or return to full-time for a certificate or degree; and the
- Ford Sons and Daughters Program, for dependents of employees of Roseburg Forest Products Co.
Chafee Education and Training Grant

All students should apply for aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, more commonly known as the FAFSA. This form is the gateway to Stafford, PLUS, and Perkins loans; Pell grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Oregon Opportunity Grants, and work study awards. Most schools have their own financial aid applications in addition to the FAFSA. It's a good idea to check with a school's financial aid department about specific procedures and deadlines, as they vary at all institutions
State aid is of course only part of the package. Learn more about applying for federal aid and scholarships in Oregon.

Roush Yates Performance Products Upgrades
Dyno Tested The Truth About Bolt-Ons: Dyno Tested
To give you the most bang for the buck on your own truck, we've compiled a group of common performance bolt-ons and put them through the lie detector test known as the dyno. To help us with the installs and handle the dyno tuning, Roush Yates Performance Products allowed us to follow along as they made several strategic upgrades to a 2009 Chevy Silverado Z71. After much begging, we got them to agree to strap it down on the chassis dyno after each stage. Is that tedious and time consuming? Yes, but it's also the only way to know exactly how much each upgrade benefits the overall power numbers as they stack one on top of another.
Our Silverado guinea pig is a Z71 4WD that was equipped with the already-potent 5.3L V-8 putting out a peak power number of 257 hp to the wheels. The truck's owner worked with Roush Yates Performance Products to pick out a package of bolt-ons that would work together to maximize the power available for the truck. Roush Yates Performance Products (RYPP) sprung from Roush Yates Engines, which builds the Ford FR9 race engines used in NASCAR's Sprint Cup racing series, among other series. RYPP began as a way for the organization to make used Cup racing components available to lower level race teams that could make use of the parts. But since it first opened its doors, RYPP has greatly expanded its reach to include several different lines of new performance parts for street cars and trucks. In addition to parts, RYPP also has access to a great wealth of expertise among its employees, many of whom have spent years working as race engine builders and tuners.
One of those experts is Jeff "Jr." Paxton, who heads up the chassis dyno tuning services for RYPP. Paxton sketched out a series of upgrades to be done in stages. The first step was an Advanced Flow Engineering (aFe) Power MagnumFORCE cold-air intake. Afe says this intake flows 31 percent more air versus the stock air cleaner and also uses a long-life reusable filter.
Step two finishes upgrading the airflow tract with a pair of Kooks long-tube stainless steel headers, a Kooks Y-pipe with built-in catalytic converters, and a Corsa Performance high-flow exhaust system with Corsa's patented noise-cancelling drone-free muffler.
Finally, once the flow of air into and out of the engine was maximized, step three comes along to give the horsepower a real kick in the pants in the form of a Magnuson supercharger and a throttle-body spacer from aFe. The end result is 440 hp—an improvement of 183 hp—but getting there was half the fun. Follow along and see for yourself which parts would help turn your truck in a tire-roasting monster.
By selecting the right parts that work together, our Chevy was making 440 hp to the rear tires and was ready to light them up at a moment's notice.

Rachel Crow received glowing reviews from the judges on The X Factor"s first live show Tuesday with her mash-up of Justin Bieber"s "Baby" and the Supremes" "Where Did Our Love Go." But Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and L.A. Reid are also smitten with the 13-year-old charmer because she"s just so darn cute – and likable.
L.A. said she could have an acting career. Paula even suggested she run for president. The singer, whose confidence shined through during her very first audition, was also showing off a slimmer figure Tuesday night. Crow spoke with us about how she lost weight 15 lbs. in just two month and why, at such a young age, she did it:
Word is you have lost weight since your audition on The X Factor
Yes, I lost 15 pounds in about two months.
How did you do that
I just did a lot of cardio and working out and my mom was with me all the way so I am really happy. Food used to be everything to me but now it is not. It is more like I eat for survival. So now I am good.
Why did you decide to lose weight
I decided to do it because I thought, "You are going to be on TV, you gotta clean up your act. You have to give it your all." I really went all out.
Was this your decision or did you get pressure from someone to lose weight
Not at all. It was my decision 100 percent. I told my mom let"s go out and see if I can do something about my weight. She was 100 percent behind me.
Do you want to lose more weight
I don"t think I am going to lose any more weight because if I did I wouldn"t be Rachel. But I am definitely going to keep up on my eating regimen and try to keep going [with my exercise].
L.A. Reid said you would also make a great actress, would you ever want to act
Yes, of course. I love acting. I think it is fun. But singing is definitely my number one passion.
