"Michael Christie conducted with remarkable precision and flair." – Chicago Tribune
"His conducting . . . revealed total emotional conviction, natural long-line phrasing, and mastery of orchestral color." – Musical America
"Michael Christie is a director open to adventure and challenge" – The New York Times
"Michael Christie conducted with splendid brio and welcome crispness." – Opera News
Michael Christie is a thoughtfully innovative conductor, equally at home in the symphonic and opera worlds, who is focused on making the audience experience at his performances entertaining, enlightening, and enriching. The New York Times reports, "Michael Christie is a director open to adventure and challenge," and the Cincinnati Enquirer declares, "If Michael Christie represents the future of music in this country, the future looks promising indeed."
Christie, who was featured in Opera News in August 2012 as one of 25 people believed to "to break out and become major forces in the field in the coming decade, "began his tenure as the first-ever Music Director of the Minnesota Opera with the 2012–2013 season. During the 2015–2016 season with Minnesota Opera, he leads the world premiere performances of Paul Moravec's opera The Shining, plus productions of Ariadne auf Naxos, The Magic Flute and Rusalka. In 2017, he leads the world premiere performances of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs by Mason Bates with Santa Fe Opera.
Deeply committed to bringing new works to life, Michael Christie has championed commissions by leading and emerging composers alike, including Mark Adamo, Mason Bates, Michael Daugherty, Osvaldo Golijov, Mark Grey, Daron Hagen, Matthew Hindson, Marjan Mozetich, Stephen Paulus, Kevin Puts and more. In 2011, Christie led the Minnesota Opera in the world premiere performances of Puts' Silent Night, which was awarded the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Music.
Christie's nearly 20-year symphonic conducting career has included serving as Music Director of the Phoenix Symphony (2005–2013) and Brooklyn Philharmonic (2005–2010), and as Chief Conductor of the Queensland Orchestra (2001–2004) in Australia, as well as guest appearances leading top orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonies of Dallas, Atlanta, Houston and more. Christie also enjoys many international engagements as well as a strong profile in Australia. Christie's New York Philharmonic debut came in 2007 when he stepped in on short notice for an ailing Riccardo Muti, and he made his Carnegie Hall debut in the 2014 Spring for Music festival. Christie also served as the Music Director of the Colorado Music Festival from 2000–2013.
Michael Christie first came to international attention in 1995 when he was awarded a special prize for "Outstanding Potential" at the First International Sibelius Conductors' Competition in Helsinki. Following the competition, he was invited to become an apprentice conductor with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra where he subsequently worked with Daniel Barenboim as well as at the Berlin State Opera during the 1996–1997 season. Christie graduated from the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music with a bachelor's degree in trumpet performance.
Christie lives in the Twin Cities with his wife, Alexis, a physician, and their two children. A licensed pilot for over 15 years, Christie often flies his Mooney Airplane Company single engine aircraft to his conducting engagements across the United States. He volunteers for Angel Flight Central, flying people in need with serious medical issues to receive care.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM
A 50mm prime lens with a very large maximum aperture for fine depth-of-field control.
With its incredible f/1.2 maximum aperture, the super fast EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a consummate low-light performer. A lens that allows fine creative control over focusing and depth of field.
- Large f/1.2 aperture
- USM autofocus
- Super Spectra coatings
- Circular aperture for excellent background bokeh
- Provides distance information for the E-TTL II flash system
- Soft case and lens hood
A large maximum aperture of f/1.2 gives outstanding speed when shooting in low light. The lens also provides fine control over focusing, allowing extremely shallow depth of field for creative effects.
Smooth background blur
A virtually circular aperture diaphragm gives out of focus regions a softer, more uniform feel. Sharp foreground objects stand out against a smooth blurred background.
L-series quality
Ultrasonic focusing
A ring-type ultrasonic motor drives autofocus extremely quickly, and in near silence. Excellent holding torque ensures the point of focus is reached accurately, without overshooting. Furthermore, full-time manual override is available, making it possible to adjust focus without leaving AF mode.
Super Spectra coating
Super Spectra coatings ensure accurate colour balance and enhance contrast. They also reduce flare and ghosting – a common problem caused by light bouncing off a camera's sensor.
Integration with E-TTL II flash metering
The lens passes distance information back to a compatible EOS camera's E-TTL II flash system to ensure optimal flash metering.

The loader interface provides a method for retrieving the SmallBusinessInstance, FormsFactory, and ReportEngine for a given database.
ISbaObjects GetSbaObjects(string configurationFile);
The method also has overloads that take a configuration-object or the database and server name. The calling application will call the loader to get the SBA objects like this:
ISbaObjects sbaObjects = loader.GetSbaObjects(configurationFile);
Where configurationFile is the full path to a valid sbc-file.
The SbaObjects class contains properties for the SmallBusinessInstance, FormsFactory, and ReportEngine. The reason this class exists is that it will abstract calling applications from the internal implementation of the SBA objects – for instance in order to use the SmallBusinessInstance a Logon method must be called and in order to use the FormsFactory a call to an Initialize method has to be made. These calls are made internally in the SbaObjects class and calling applications are abstracted from knowing about them.
The loader is not strongly bound to any version of SBA and returns the objects directly without type casting them. The calling application must type-check and cast the objects appropriately like this:
// Get the SmallBusinessInstance for this database
object smallBusinessInstance = sbaObjects.SmallBusinessInstance;
if (smallBusinessInstance is ISmallBusinessInstance)
// Do V1 stuff here
else if (smallBusinessInstance is ISmallBusinessInstanceV2)
// Do V2 stuff here
// Get FormsFactory for this database
object formsFactory = sbaObjects.FormsFactory;
if (formsFactory is IFormsFactory)
else if (formsFactory is IFormsFactoryV2)
IReportEngineV2 reportEngine = sbaObjects.ReportEngine as IReportEngineV2;
Note that the ReportEngine is a V2 feature – calling applications will need to handle the LoaderException that is thrown when trying to get this object for a database version that doesn't support it – i.e. when trying to get a ReportEngine when connecting to a V1 database.

It's brilliant stuff eh? For me it's Michelangelo's Pieta that's my favourite. Haven't seen the actual thing, but have seen a really high quality photo print. PC, the damned thing nearly glows!ReplyDelete
On a side note, I was lucky enough to be in Wellington over Xmas and saw the Da Vinci Machines exhibition - scale working models based on Da Vinci's sketches of inventions. Truly amazing.
Even luckier for me though was that my 8 year old boy insisted on coming along as well, and was utterly mesmerised. As we shared a Guinness later (I hasten to add he only has a shot-glass of it) he said: Dad it's just amazing that someone's brain could work like that.
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.ReplyDelete

to Stanford Associates the Fad is coming to an end.
I never go out without my groupons to buy just about everything I need.I love Groupon - they are the best service ever invented!
With the economy getting better, who needs a coupon. The fad is over. And the idea was a little late. they would have done better 3 years ago.
You should be in Congress - pay 5,250.00 for a jet fighter door latch - no coupons allowed
higher gas prices affect the average consumer and their buying power quite hard.. coupons become a way to offset the effects... being practical isn't going away..
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that usage is dropping and the fad is done. I used to use Groupon all the time. In the last 2 years I purchased 51 groupons, mostly restaurants. And why should I ever go back and pay full price when there is always a new restaurant I can try at 50% off??? I think the restaurants running the groupons figured they can't make money either... Well the scheme has come to an end, there are rarely any good groupons anymore, unless teeth whitening, or something of that sort is what you are looking for...Problem is I can't even short this stock, no shares available to borrow. It's all shorted out at my broker. Have to buy puts, they are expensive, but that is the only way to make money on this.
"Have to buy puts,......"If you are able to do spreads, then you can cut the cost of buying the put you want by selling one at a lower strike. You do lose some of the upside if the stock really tanks, but you don't have to put up the amount of capital that straight puts would require.
Sell calls and have them assigned
About time!

The Turks got no satisfaction from Nancy Ajram, says Turkish fan
According to one aggrieved Turkish Nancy Ajram fan, the Lebanese super-pop-star was an utter disappointment for the Turkish fans who did not get the 'best of Nancy' treatment. Peeved fan, Serdar Koç., spoke to Al Bawaba to expose the Turkish performance for the 'sham' that he feels it was.
In his words on the growing global phenomenon that is Nancy: "Even though we are big fans of Nancy Ajram, we want to write the true story about her Istanbul concert because she didn't show respect for Turkish fans." This let-down fan lashes out further afield than Nancy, or indeed 'the Lebanese' she represents. He is angry with the Arab-spun response to the event.
Turkish Serdar wants to tell it as it is, even if he upsets his Arab neighbors. He is blaming the entire Arab world and its media coverage and doesn't mince his words. "Arab newpapers wrote many lies." For him, many reports glossed over the less glamorous colors of what was a dim performance, giving it a more optimistic hue.
He wants to dispel the idea propogated by the media reportage that Nancy gave a good 2 hours worth of her best hits. "First of all, Nancy didn't sing over two hours: her Istanbul concert lasted just one hour."

You want to take a stroll on water as you experience the beauty of nature; then you will have to ride the 'water bicycle'. That is what surfing is all about.
Surfing is a sport as well as a recreational activity which allows participants to stand in the water where man cannot as they time a breaking wave or current so that they can ride the wave and exit it safely when a wave loses power.
This means that the sport can be dangerous especially near shores or rocky places hence proper training and experience is critical when riding strong waves.
The activity also involves paddling because when a surfer spots a wave, he or she will have to paddle to where it is so that he/she could ride it. At times, surfers may be towed by boats to places where the waves are and left to surf. All in all, this is not an activity of the faint hearted. This is for the brave lions and lionesses who want to have real fun on the waters.
Any recreational activity on water, are all fantastic ways for you to lose some weight. I think everyone should try this at least once — or until you get the hang of it. Trust me, you'll love it. Not only that, but your pounds can shed like crazy. Just you watch.
Previously the site was established by two paddler who were located in the middle of no-where (Thunder Bay ON) and being enthusiasts in paddling and surfing they went to great lengths to posting videos, content and links related to surfing and paddling activities about the major rivers surrounding their location.
Now this website has a bunch of cool stuff about surfing and paddling, so be sure to bookmark this site and visit it from time to time to have a glimpse of the stuff.
I had two loves in my life the sea and steak sandwiches. This was a love triangle that I needed to stop because the sandwiches were winning. I was getting fat or should I say I was a fat boy. I was always in shape so the weight I was putting on and had already gained was uncomfortable and I was not use to it and did not like it. I was always an athlete before the weight gain and I needed to get back in that shape.
The sea was the first love of my life. We have many memories together and like any wife that loves you dearly, she has tried to kill me on many occasions. She was almost successful on two occasions. I was always a good swimmer and at one point that was all I thought about on a daily basis. With the weight I had gained it was just too hard for me to swim for more than a foot without uncontrollably gasping for air.
It was time I get in shape and my new found infatuation with surfing was going to be my motivation. I wanted to learn how to surf and I would need to get in shape to ride the waves effectively. I lost my friend and it opened my eyes to breast cancer awareness. She wasn't careful with her health and cancer was the end result. This helped me decide that I needed to start living healthier.
I started by simply jogging over the sands and slowly losing weight. It took a period of time to for me to trim down to the size I thought I would be capable of maneuvering myself more properly. I learnt quickly that learning how to surf I not as easy as you may think. I had to get back to jogging and exercise before I attempted to go on a surf board again. Simple exercise and a reorganization of my diet helped me to lose a hundred pounds in weight in only a couple of months. Sit-ups and pushups along with jogging was my route and although it may sound like something that could not possibly be done, this is the way it was.
I did not need to get skinny, just needed to lose enough weight so I could handle myself while learning to surf. When I was half way to my weight goal I had enough energy on a daily basis to do all the exercises and workouts related and needed for the surfing training. There are a lot of physical stresses associated with surfing. The time spent in the water alone is enough of a workout for anybody to lose weight.
Paddling was a workout especially through high and hard waves. The time spent paddling through the waves on the beach was time well spent. It helped me lose some of the weight that was bothering. It strengthened may arms and my legs that aided with standing on the board. When learning how to surf you have to learn how to paddle out to where the waves are best. This is the first thing you learn when learning how to surf.
Learning to stand on the board was the hardest part of learning to surf and it took me a while before I caught the feel for it. Lifting up my body to get on the board was something I could not do when I just decided to learn surfing. It was still a difficult thing to do because I still had unwanted fat on my body. I was determined to learn how to surf and if it meant losing a lot of weight that was what I had planned to do. After getting the handle of standing up on the board, the rest just fell in place.
The entire experience was very enjoyable for me and I not only learn how to surf but I also lost the weight that was a discomfort for me. I would like to tell anyone out there that has a few pounds they need to get rid of, if there is any physical activity that you are interested to learn you may want to consider it. It may be your way to kill two birds with one stone. You will learn a new skill while working on looking good and living healthier.

These were very good potatoes. I used a mix of mint and parsley since my aerogarden didn't have enough mint yet. I especially loved the garlic in these which I allowed to heat up in them a bit at the end to get rid of that raw garlic taste. Very simple too!

"The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves." William Penn In preparation for writing the blog post today, I looked up the
Hi everyone!Potential touchy subject...I am a high school director in Northern VA with 6 choirs. Only 2 of the choirs don't include the words "men", "women's", or "ladies."I have students who identify as either male or female, but are placed in their choir according to their (birth) sex which is listed on their transcripts. The singers said they were "OKAY" with their placements because they would be in the classes with other students with similar voice parts. Even though they said this, I know I will keep a close eye on their well-being this year, and in the future.My question for you is - Do you have any suggestions on what to rename my choirs so that they don't conform into the gender binary? ...

My-Van NguyenWe're seriously choral twins. Have been considering this all summer!

Joel Adam ShapiroInstead of Men's Choir, maybe give it a unique name relating to your school/mascot?
Douglas NeslundOh for God's sake, people! Don't let the political correctness infect and pollute our youngsters. Enough of this mind twisting junk!!!
Jason LongtinI think coming up with fun, creative names for each group is the best solution. This actually comes up in church choir all the time. Lots of church ladies sing tenor (even bass...I sit next to one), so we have to be mindful of not calling the TB section "Men."
Tyler ForsytheFor my creative juices to flow, I need to know your school mascot and school colors. Additionally, any unique or interesting characteristics about your school or town would be helpful. (For example, if the town's festival is called Stucco Days, that could be useful in naming the choirs.)

Joel Adam ShapiroDefinitely don't name it after the Occoquan :)

Martin LassmanI struggled with this, too. Having a transitioning person in the Women's Choir was awkward for me and him. I tried SSAA but no one knew what that meant. I ended up with Treble and Advanced Treble choirs. Since I teach middle school, this has not been an issue with the Men's Choir. Their voices will not allow transitioning students to sing in the male range.
Rhonda JulianoThank you for being aware of your students needs and well being. I also suggest that you come up with a great name that your students will relate to and feel good about singing in.
Susanna Lace PeeplesI believe Josh Palkki knows a lot on this subject as he gave a session at ACDA on LGBT issues in the choral classroom.
Michael McGlynnNot sure what the issue really is here - low voice choir/high voice choir.
Shawna McKay GleasonWe use names like concert choir (freshmen group) select chorus ( mixed upper grades) and Vocal ensemble (treble choir) how about Woodbridge singers or Viking Singers
Leah PeerWe discussed this at COACDA last summer. The best suggestion I heard was Treble, Bass and Mixed - instead of gender designations

I'd go with one of these three. OT Boone, DE Jean-Francois, or CB Green.
We have enough offensive playmakers, but our line is suddenly looking shaky. That makes Boone the highest priority offensive guy of that group and the only one I'd consider taking over a defensive guy. With our passrush woes, we can use another veteran in the secondary. Needs win over wants. I'm betting on Green or Boone or possibly one of the other OT backups to make the 53 man roster.

Great handling, dry ride, good performance...
The Cobra Nautique 7.55m is our most popular model and an excellent all rounder. She is easy to tow and slip or just simply kept on the mooring ready for action.
Perfect for water sports as the high pull from the A frame gives a superior tow for both novice and expert alike. A massive 60 gallon fuel tank gives extensive range for the longer journeys or will last for many weekends if just pottering in local waters.
Cobra's unique bucket seating design means you sit in the craft not on it as with traditional ribs, a perfect fusion of form and function.
Plenty of grab handles, stainless steel support rails and lifelines make it safe and secure for all ages.

I'm not a fan of Thanksgiving Day. I never really have been since it no longer means a day off from school for me.
I always volunteer to work on Thanksgiving weekend at ESPN because those days are holidays, meaning I receive compensatory days off that I can use at my discretion. I'd rather have two days off in July to hit the beach, the golf course, a ballpark, and/or a concert than two days in late November, when it's too cold to golf and too warm to skate in the backyard.
Despite working on the fourth Thursday of November, one can still make it a beneficial day at ESPN. All the suits are home reintroducing themselves to their family, the work scene is very laid back and those who work get a Thanksgiving Day meal. Either way, I'm watching football on Thanksgiving Day and hockey on Thanksgiving Night.
So while I'm not a big fan of Thanksgiving Day, I am a thankful person. I'm thankful for
• All the Zamboni drivers who supply fresh coats of ice that, when stepped on, make one feel 10 years younger and lighter on that shiny new piece of ice.
• All of the on-ice officials, especially those who hustle and try their best to treat the game with love and respect. It's amazing how an electric scoreboard and referees can make even a Mite B game in South Windsor, Conn., feel like a big deal.
• The passion and energy of Alexander "Red Bull" Ovechkin, the most exciting athlete in Washington D.C. I'm thankful he turned down more money in Russia to play in the world's greatest hockey league. It's too bad his city's sports fans don't appreciate that -- only a select, passionate few.
• The careers of Steve Yzerman and Mario Lemieux. I think we are watching their final NHL seasons. They will win gold in Italy for Canada and then make a run for the playoffs. The Red Wings should be safe, but it will be a challenge for the Penguins. Right now the Penguins are not a playoff team. A couple of trades could put them in the Top 8.
• The fans in Calgary. The Saddledome crowd looks like the U.S. crowds from the 1980s. Working men and women in the lower bowl wearing sweaters and high-fiving each other after goals.
• Being able to watch and listen to Ilya Kovalchuk shoot a one-timer from the left point.
• The Center Ice Package.
• Just shooting a puck.
• Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. As these old-school rookies get better this year, the Flyers will get better.
• My sons playing family-room, mini-sticks hockey more than they play Xbox.
• The Chicago Blackhawks finally have a bright future.
• Zach Braff, The Edge, Jack Parker, Kanye West, Ben Gibbard, Ween, Pamela Anderson, Jason Spezza, Ryan Whitney, Shawn Bates, Larry David, Monster Energy drink, Tampa Bay Lightning sellout crowds, Brian Gionta and Darren Pang.
• Coaches who haven't lost control of their game. Coaches have lost control of the game in the NHL. That component is even more vital in youth and minor-league hockey. Imagine if Van Gogh or Branford Marsalis were screamed at and directed like marionettes as they learned their craft? What kind of art would they really create? Imagine what art young hockey players can create if we guide them instead of directing them.
• Jaromir Jagr loving hockey again. That focus on hockey will benefit him more than playing the stock market or blackjack.
• Ted Saskin is not representing me. When media members wax poetic about someone in a position of power, that usually means that person of power gave them information to gain their endorsement. I would want no such person representing me.
• Eric Staal's childhood backyard rink.
• Sidney Crosby's competitiveness. There are people who love to play and there are people who love to compete. When you find the person who has both and is blessed with talent, you have a superstar who wins Stanley Cups.
• Ryan Miller of the Sabres and Ryan Miller of Guster.
• The family of the late Dan Snyder. I mean, really, name a better example of love and forgiveness. Their choice to look ahead instead of looking behind is one of the simple secrets of life. I'm thankful people like them exist. We should all be hopeful that there are more people in the world, especially influential ones, who have the clear heads and strong character of the Snyders.
So many focus on the negatives of hockey. The positives the game displays and instills, far outweigh the negatives, as one hockey family so gracefully and selflessly showed.
The season of thanks gives way to the season of hope. Hope for a better future and better decisions. I'm hopeful for more worldwide examples of forgiveness like those shown by the Snyder family these past two years. They took the best virtues of the game and instilled them in their everyday lives. That's the role of sports in 21st Century North America.
We can look at them and feel inspiration, pride and the ultimate example of role models. Hockey and the Snyder family are better off because of each other. We belong to them. And they belong to us. Thankfully.
The Mother of All Mailbags
Hey John,
Just wanted to follow up an earlier email of mine where I "thanked" USA Hockey for dropping Cammi Granato from the team (re: your article of Aug. 29, 2005). I read with interest today that after last Thursday's 5-0 drubbing of the USA, the Canadian women's Team followed this performance up with a 7-0 beating of the same squad in the finals of this pre-Olympic tournament, one of the most lopsided victories in the history of the rivalry between the two women's hockey powers. So, again, my thanks for making the road to Turin a little easier. I still cannot believe Cammi isn't on the US team -- what were they thinking?
Dave Yuill
As I stated before, the decision to unceremoniously cut Cammi Granato appeared then to be cruel and unusual on so many levels. Cruel in the manner that a veteran, gold-medal winning captain would be dispatched in such a bully, boys club manner. And unusual that such a respected and unequivocally revered leader as Granato was also arguably a top six forward and certainly a top nine forward. The results since the decision are not surprising at all.
I have a sports talk show at our university radio station, and I do a segment every week about the NHL. My question to you is do you think that Team USA will be using all the older, veteran players come February, or will they look to a younger, faster team to go into the Turin games?
Ryan Thomas
The 23-man Olympic rosters are due in about four weeks. I'll have a column on my USA Olympic team in the next couple of weeks. My inclination would be to go young and gain experience for Vancouver in 2010.
Hey John,
I need you to make a decision for me, please. Here's my problem. For our Christmas pictures this year, we're each going to wear a hockey jersey -- Adam in his Kings' road jersey and myself in my Avs' maroon third jersey. The issue is agreeing on what Michael will wear. Adam wants him to wear his L.A. jersey and I want to get him a Colorado one! Can you suggest the perfect jersey for Michael?
Lisa Burleson
Port Hueneme, Calif.
I would ask Michael what he wants to wear. The one he wants to wear is the perfect one. If he can't talk, go USA or maybe a Santa Claus hockey sweater.
The Hartford Wolf Pack have confirmed that Ron Francis, Kevin Dineen and Pack assistant coach Ulf Samuelsson will be in attendance in a ceremony to celebrate their careers at the Wolf Pack's home game Friday, Jan. 6 against Dineen's Portland Pirates.
Should true Whaler fans attend this event? A few hardcore Whaler fans I have talked to said they will never attend a New York Rangers-sponsored event no matter who it is for. I happen to think that filling the Hartford Civic Center with 14,000 fans for these former Whalers would be a great thing. What are your thoughts on this?
Michael Kataja
Funny, this conversation came up in a local rink here in Connecticut. I have no emotional attachment to the Whalers, so I cannot offer a personal perspective. I would think that some Whaler fans are definitely going. They wouldn't miss it for the world. Others are thinking about it. It would be painful to see those men in that rink and have a New York-owned team profit, but great to see the ceremony. And there are a small few who under no circumstances will attend.
Ron Francis and Kevin Dineen had such great careers in Hartford and gave so much, I guess if you are on the fence, I would say go. In fact, go to dinner in Hartford, go to the game, go for a drink afterward. Even if it's for a night, give yourself another NHL night in your home town. And use the experience to hope it might one day come back. You, Francis and Dineen deserve it.
Three vital questions, John:
1. How long until the first skate at your "Barn"?
2. Does Ken help with the flooding of the rink?
3. What's better; Cocoa Pebbles or Count Chocula?
Kurt Beyer
1. Well, it was almost 60 degrees last Sunday here in Connecticut. This is the fifth year for my backyard rink. The earliest was early December and the latest was New Year's at midnight.
2. No, he's union.
3. I am a certified chocolate lover. Except, when it comes to cereal. I would say neither.
My wife and I are having friends over for "Hockey Night in Henderson" -- a movie night featuring Slap Shot, Miracle and Don Cherry's Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em hockey -- next Saturday. You and Ken the Otter are invited -- send a reply and I'll send you the details. My wife Sara suggested that we serve "hockey-appropriate" food. What do you think we should serve?
Dan McCue
Henderson, Nevada
Chicken Parm, mozzarella sticks, brick-oven pizza, ziti, hot apple pie, pop tarts and any object caked in cinnamon.
I just found out my wife is pregnant and I need a name for either a boy or girl. I am a Red Wings fanatic and usually travel to a couple road games a year.
Doug Miller
Houston, Texas
A girl: Carla Meghan Miller (CCM)
A boy: Louis Joseph Miller. LJ Miller is a good playmaking center name.
Hey John,
By season's end, who do you think will be the worst team in the league? Hopefully not my Thrashers, but Chicago and Columbus look horrific. I could just see Phil Kessel in a Blues jersey next year.
Serrone Khan
Snellville, Ga.
Ray Ferraro lived in Snellville when he played for the Thrashers. There are no horrific teams in the NHL. The Blue Jackets won't be 5-15 in their second 20 games like they were in their first 20. I still think the Thrashers are making the playoffs. Chicago will keep getting better and should get at least 80 points. St. Louis will likely have the fewest points in the NHL at season's end. The Capitals will likely be around No. 29. After that, it will be all bunched up and with any number of teams from the Blue Jackets to the Panthers to the Penguins.
Catching up on your columns and saw that someone had asked if there would ever be a NHL player from Denmark. Well, keep an eye on Jannik Hansen, currently playing for the Portland Winter Hawks of the WHL. He's a 19-year-old winger who plays the game with speed, skill and grit. He is a ninth-rounder for Vancouver and he appears to have the goods to be a NHL player in a couple years.
With regards,
Andy Kemper
Hillsboro, Oregon
Two things.
Does it not seem as though the league could begin cracking down on this new diving epidemic by calling a diving penalty without calling a second penalty against the other player, as well? Basically, what I'm saying is, if he was the victim of an infraction, then logically speaking, he didn't "dive," he was inferred with, while on the flip side, if he embellished the contact to contrive a penalty, then the opposing player did not commit an infraction and should not go to the penalty box. How can you have a dive and a penalty at the same time?
Mike, I don't understand why we even have diving penalties. I don't understand why we waste our time with the whole issue. Like you said, it's a penalty or it's not. If a player dives, so what? We have two referees on the ice; they should just about see everything. If they don't see something clearly, then call nothing. Fines? For diving? Who is judging this whole thing, the USOC? Goalies "dive" ALL THE TIME trying to sell goalie interference. Are we going to fine them? Basketball players try to draw fouls, football players try to sell a call, baseball players sell catches that were traps, or phantom tags at second base. Should those athletes all be fined? Sidney Crosby has been labeled a diver and a whiner. First of all, he "whines" because he cares. He plays with a concentrated rage because the game means so much to him.
Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, Roger Clemens, Derek Jeter and so on, all "whined" or do "whine." These special athletes all should be allowed to squawk because, frankly, they understand and see the game better than the middle-aged men who call the games. But that aside, what Crosby is doing is trying to draw penalties. That has value to his team. And if someone like Crosby falls, it's probably very close to, or is, a penalty anyway. But to call diving? I've come to the conclusion that it's a waste of time. And if Flyers fans wonder where Crosby learned to snap his head back when he takes a shot near the face, look at Peter Forsberg and you will have your answer. Forsberg does the same thing. He tries to draw penalties to get power players, to create scoring, to win the game, and to win Stanley Cups. It's all very simple.
When did Canada become the indie rock hotbed, or have we Americans been sleeping for too long? Bands like The Arcade Fire, Stars, The Stills, and The New Pornographers have me pondering a move across the border, just for the music. Again, your thoughts are appreciated.
Keep up the great work,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Hip-hop is so gigantic here in the U.S., that it's hard to cultivate good, young rock bands. I imagine a lot of bands lose hope, thinking they can't make a dent on hip-hop dominated radio. One of the first "disco hits" was Gloria Gaynor's "Never Can Say Goodbye," which was on top of the charts in 1974. By 1975, KC and The Sunshine Band, The Bee Gees and Earth Wind and Fire were the biggest hit makers and Saturday Night Fever was just around the corner. That didn't stop someone like Bruce Springsteen from mucking and grinding and making the album he wanted to make. Springsteen's "Born To Run" is soooo hockey. The underdog, going against the grain, trying to make a name, coming from very little, up against flavor-of-the-month corporate thinking and saying, "I'm doing what I love." Clarence Clemons' extended saxophone solo on "Jungleland" took 16 hours to record. The title track "Born to Run" was tweaked for six months. Again. Again. Again. Again. It was Springsteen's Miracle on Vinyl moment. Young bands should follow that lead -- work hard, love what you do and believe in what you are doing.
If you had three choices of U.S. cities you could place an NHL franchise (that don't currently have one), which cities would they be and why?
Toronto, Ontario
Hartford -- Because Connecticut should have an NHL team.
Las Vegas -- Because it's Vegas. Booming population, conventions and Celine Dion. Who cares if people bet on the games? Wall Street brokers bet on games at their computer in midtown Manhattan. Should the Rangers move? The NHL is missing the boat. Hockey is a nasty game and Vegas is a nasty place. Perfect.
Baltimore -- It feels like a hockey city to me. I'd build a cool, intimate 15,000-seat arena on the harbor and move the Capitals there.
Hey John,
I have heard you mention that you think Phil Kessel will be taken first overall in next year's draft. I agree, but I have been hearing rumors that some teams would consider taking Jonathan Toews out of UND ahead of him. I was wondering if you think a Canadian bias has anything to do with Toews' stock rising so quickly.
Canadians love their hockey and certainly love their own, and the media certainly tends to favor Canadians. But I bet Marc Crawford's hair that Wisconsin-bred Phil Kessel (six goals and 10 assists in his first 12 games at the University of Minnesota) will be the first pick.
Love your column, though you need to give more love to hip-hop!
Best regards,
Karthi Natarajan
I remember first hearing Run DMC's "Hard Times," "Rock Box," and "It's Like That" on a cassette some girl made for me. (How come tape-to-tape decks weren't illegal, but file sharing is? Maybe CD sales are down being the music that's marketed is terrible and good music is ignored.) Anyway, I remember like it was yesterday. It was truly a music epiphany. Like the first time I heard REM on a train, or the first time I heard The Shins, Guster, They Might Be Giants, Pete Yorn, Radiohead, Chris Cornell's voice, Allison Krauss, and so on. I like hip hop/rap when it's sexy, witty and fun.
I know you are a big music guy and was wondering what you thought of the Rangers choosing Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" as their victory song to be played in the locker room after every win.
The melodrama of Neil Diamond has brought me and my friends countless hours of joy and laughter. The Red Sox play "Sweet Caroline" at Fenway Park during the eighth-inning stretch, which is a "we-might-as-well-all-sing-this-cheesy-song-from-1969-since-we-can't-buy-anymore-beer" anthem.
Settle a bet please. Which is more difficult, scoring a goal in the NHL or hitting a home run in MLB?
Rik Wahlrab DC
Laguna Niguel, Calif.
Barry Melrose has scored an NHL goal. Wayne Gretzky has never hit a home run, probably anywhere. There is your answer.
I think the NHL seems to be counting feet as opposed to bodies with their "increased" attendance they keep talking about. Numerous games I see on the NHL Center Ice Package have thousands of empty seats. Only 14,000 in New Jersey for a Devils-Rangers game? That used to be an automatic sellout!
Washington is always in the 11,000's, never higher or lower. Even games in Detroit have empty red seats dotting each section. Here in Phoenix, they keep announcing 14,000, yet I have been to those games and there are far less than 14,000 in the building. Other teams that I have seen struggle in drawing fans by observing the games on the Center Ice Package: Columbus, Carolina, Nashville, St. Louis, Dallas, Anaheim, Atlanta and Buffalo.
Believe me, I want the NHL to succeed, but some of these attendance figures seem a little bit shady. They are only fooling themselves.
Tempe, Ariz.
I'm with you there, Chris.

Now, UKIP is in THIRD place, with 21%, NINE points over Labour. And the LibDems are only at 33%. The vote is Thursday. UKIP can actually win this thing. Perhaps people are starting to understand: There is only one liberty, sovereignty anti-EU party in the UK: UKIP.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) recently started adding some 3-D and high resolution HD content to its service and has stated that its subscribers can view this content only if their Internet service providers (ISPs) are using Netflix's Open Connect CDN. [1] Netflix expects its subscribers to push their ISPs towards the adoption of Netflix's own CDN. Why is the company doing so?
Netflix launched its own content delivery network (CDN) named Open Connect last year, which is a dedicated CDN for video delivery. Over time, the company expects to deliver a majority of its data using Open Connect and, in the process, reduce reliance on third-party CDN providers. Netflix has traditionally used services from CDN providers such as Lime Light Networks, Level 3 and Akamai (NASDAQ:AKAM). As the company moves towards higher video quality, which requires higher bandwidth, it can potentially save costs with its own CDN and make ISPs such as Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) a little happier.

- Here's How Netflix Can Benefit From Its Deal With Comcast?
- Can Netflix Stabilize Its Faltering Operating Efficiency?
- Have Netflix's Investment In Growth Increased Over The Past Four Years?
- What Can Lead To A 10% Upside In Netflix's Stock In The Next Couple Of Years?
- Here's How The Exclusive Partnership With Disney Can Impact Netflix
See our complete analysis for Netflix
Besides potentially saving costs, Netflix can enhance the quality of its delivery by building a dedicated network and leveraging economies of scale. Furthermore, it is likely that given the dedicated nature of Open Connect, the number of servers will be optimally distributed so as to provide best delivery to Netflix's customers based on geographical location. ISPs have the option to either deploy Netflix's Open Connect device or get their data from common Internet exchanges.
The flexibility and potential of less network congestion might be something that ISPs will like. Overall, Netflix is trying to please ISPs and not be a competing service that clogs their pipes. The other motivation is to reduce costs in the face of profit crunch and improve data delivery to enhance customer experience. This reconciles with the broader effort to re-build the company image following the 2011 fiasco.
Our price estimate for Netflix stands at $81, implying a discount of about 20% to the market price.

Up High in Old Charleston
STATS: A 7,453-square-foot, six-bedroom, 6½-bath home asking $9 million, or $1,206 a square foot. In January the asking price was lowered from $10 million. Property taxes in 2010 were $13,296.
DETAILS: Owners say this Federal-style home was built in 1810 for Nathaniel Ingraham, who served with John Paul Jones aboard the Bonhomme Richard in the Revolutionary War. It faces directly out at Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired 150 years ago this April. The house features 12-foot ceilings, the original heart-pine floors and an original cedar ceiling in the sitting room. There is a saltwater pool.
Open House
2 Water St., Charleston, S.C.
SELLERS: Meredith and John Dunnan. Mr. Dunnan is a contemporary artist and gallery owner; Mrs. Dunnan is an interior designer.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Head to the nearby shops on King Street to get a Jason Wu dress at RTW and have lunch at Blossom (we hear good things about the shrimp and grits).
WHAT WE PAID: The Dunnans paid $2 million for the house in 2000 and say that they have put another $7 million into it. "The asking price is what we put into it," says Mr. Dunnan, who says that 40 workers spent two years redoing the electrical and plumbing, opening up old fireplaces, stripping off 30 coats of paint in some areas and repairing the 1810 moldings. In 2007 the couple added a garage, sauna, laundry room and porch.
WHAT DREW US TO THE HOUSE ORIGINALLY: "It's rare to find a house on High Battery," says Mr. Dunnan, explaining that most other homes on this historic promenade (known as The Battery or High Battery) have been made into apartments. For Mrs. Dunnan it was the views: "You feel like you're on a cruise ship."
WHY WE'RE SELLING: "We're spending more time at our country house at Yeamans Hall Club," says Mr. Dunnan, whose great-grandfather was one of the founders of Yeamans Hall, a 900-acre private club.
WHAT WE'LL MISS: "The view and that we can entertain 25 people on our piazza or 400 in the house and garden," says Mr. Dunnan.
WHAT WE WON'T: Mrs. Dunnan says she won't miss the verticality, though there is an elevator.
OTHERS SAY: "The price is on the high side," says Casey Murphey, an agent with Daniel Ravenel Sotheby's International Realty. She says it's a unique property because of its history, location and view, though some buyers might want to enclose or screen-in the side porch and make it part of the kitchen.
I BET: Listing agent Helen Geer, president of William Means Real Estate, predicts the house will sell this spring for its asking price.
—Post your guess as to what the house will sell for—and when—in the comments section. Listings will be followed for six months.

I'm not using BudyPress but I would like to be able to put the rating User Profile function into the profile page of my users. Is there any code o shortcode to do that?
Hi @gonzalolucero,
Can you please share an example of a url on your site with a user-profile page?
Are you using any plugin for the author page?
The author page it's part of the deTube WordPress Theme.
You'll have to edit your author's page theme's template and add some custom code. Try to add our php shortcode:
<?php rw_the_post_rating(get_the_author_meta('ID'), 'user'); ?>
Let me know if it worked.
It worked, but when I rate some users, in the Rating Widget did not appear the Name (first name and last name) of the user.
Also, if I could add the users avatars at the rating widget, it would be awesome =D
Try this code instead of the previous:
<?php ratingwidget()->EmbedRatingIfVisibleByUser(get_the_author()); ?>
Let me know if it worked.
It didn't work. Not even appeared in the user profile page
Oh... I've forgot to add the echo of the method's result. Try this:
<?php echo ratingwidget()->EmbedRatingIfVisibleByUser(get_the_author()); ?>
Now I can rate the users, but still doesn't appear the display name. Maybe I have to change some code from the rating-widget/rating-widget.php
@gonzalolucero apologies but this probably requires a deeper investigation. Since it's not part of the "out of the box features" if you'd like us to continue investigating this please contact [jeff AT rating-widget DOT com] to discuss about special customization. Just describe him the case and send him a reference with this link. Unfortunately there will be cover charges. Sorry :(
hi i want to display the total rating given to user and display it in member page how can i do it i dont want to rate it in member page just display total rating of the user

The Hybrid Style of San German
By CHRISTOPHER HALL
Published: February 23, 1997
AN oddly matched pair of buildings anchors the east end of Plazuela de Santo Domingo, in the Puerto Rican town of San German.
On top of a small hill forming the public square's eastern boundary stands Porta Coeli (Heaven's Gate), a 1606 Spanish colonial chapel that is one of the oldest churches in the Americas. The chapel is an austere building of baked-earth color, simple lines, and little exterior ornamentation, and as architecture it is utterly compelling. From the plazuela, where its slope-roofed facade appears in bold silhouette against a tropical sky of billowy clouds, Porta Coeli appears to be a gateway to a celestial kingdom.
At the foot of the hill, just across from the wide brick stairway leading to the chapel, a two-story Victorian Gothic house clamors for attention. The 1913 Waldemar Morales Residence, as it is known, sports a peaked roof, two gables, several columned porches and a finial-topped turret. It's the kind of building that makes you smile, the way you would at a child who dresses in her mother's clothes and pretends to be grown up.
That the people of San German embrace both Porta Coeli and the Waldemar Morales Residence as part of their architectural heritage speaks volumes about this municipality of 34,000 in the southwest corner of Puerto Rico. Through a concerted civic effort, the entire central core of San German -- comprising 36 acres and 249 properties -- has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The only similarly distinctive Puerto Rican town is Old San Juan.
San German is a time capsule of the island's architecture, ranging from the early Spanish era to modern times. The historic zone is now encircled by a few unassuming modern neighborhoods, and there's a new shopping center and movie house. But much of the town's pride is reserved for its wealth of 19th- and early 20th-century houses, many of which were financed by fortunes made in sugar and coffee.
San German's historic houses are built in a style called criollo (Spanish for ''creole''), a home-grown, island hybrid that drew its inspiration from such diverse architectural movements as Victorian, Spanish Revival, and Art Deco. The houses are made of wood, masonry, or a combination of both, and many have gingerbread ornamentation and street-level porches. There is extensive use of stained glass, ornamental ironwork, carved-wood screens, and deeply colored floor tiles that are sometimes arranged in patterns to suggest a carpet.
During my July visit to San German, I spent several hours one morning admiring the handsome buildings of the historic district as I walked its brick and cobblestone streets. While most of the houses are in private hands and closed to the public, here and there I was able to peek at an old tile floor or fanciful woodwork through a door or window left ajar. In the historic museum, which occupies a 1903 residence built for a prominent local family, original flooring and carved-wood transoms gave me a feel for the shaded interiors of the criollo houses.
I began my walk outside Porta Coeli, formerly the chapel of an adjacent monastery but now a museum of sacred art. As I passed through its massive central door, made of native ausubo hardwood, the air immediately became cooler. A slight breeze stirred, and through open doors on either side of the nave, I glimpsed the green hills in which San German is nestled.
Porta Coeli's interior is as simple, and strong, as its exterior. Large columns, each roughly hewn from a single log, support a ceiling of golden brown Caribbean palm wood. There are a few pews to give the feel of a church, but most of the space on the white walls and terra cotta floor is devoted to an exhibit of religious-themed paintings and statues from the Spanish colonial era. I particularly liked the one contemporary work I saw, a 1960 set of wooden stations of the cross, carved and painted in a naive style by the Puerto Rican artist Manuel Taban. I also was impressed by the beautiful 18th-century reredos, or altar screen, whose niches hold statues in glowing natural wood and a somber Mexican school painting of Jesus at the scourging post.
UNLIKE Old San Juan, with its collection of Spanish colonial architecture dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, San German has only Porta Coeli as a tangible reminder of its earliest years. Although the town has been in its present location since 1573, when the population of the original seaside San German moved inland to avoid continued raids by the English and Dutch, it remained fairly undeveloped until the local economy shifted in the 19th century to the export crops of coffee and sugar. After the United States acquired Puerto Rico in the 1898 Spanish-American War, however, the bottom fell out of the coffee market. While sugar continued as a lucrative export crop until well into the 20th century it, too, eventually diminished in importance and San German returned to its previously sleepy existence.
San German's economic slowdown had the unforeseen benefit of sparing most of its historic buildings from modernization or replacement. Immediately to the south of Porta Coeli, on Calle Dr. Santiago Veve, I found two of the town's most beautifully restored houses. The Jaime Acosta y Fores Residence (circa 1917), at No. 70, is a cream-colored, one-story house with a rear service wing -- called a martillo (hammer) because of the hammer-shaped floor plan it creates. The large, wood house seems to have been built for people of substance, but there is a friendly, welcoming air to it. I could easily imagine its owners sitting on the long, street-side veranda, greeting passersby out for an evening stroll.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: travelin cat
I have a new Mac G5 with Adobe Photoshop CS. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way around it?
One fellow I am trying to send jpeg's to is using a brand new IBM with windows XP. He can't open my files. Its getting pretty frustrating. Any thoughts?
A good way around this:
Put the file on a website and have him right click it to save it to his drive. If you don't have your own server, there should be some free webspace available from your ISP.
With jpgs, another issue you'll run into is that the jpg was saved as CMYK instead of RGB. Many PC users won't be able to open the CMYK version, it will need to be converted to RGB.
Thanks guys, hopefully he will be able to open at least one of them and the problem will be solved.
The whole things seems ridiculous to me!
A: Your email client is set to send Macintosh information with every attached file.
This will result in the Windows user receiving TWO FILES with the same name, one is the JPG, the other is the "resource fork" info (a smaller file) and it won't "open".
Check your email client and make sure you either have:
"Always send Macintosh information" turned off, or
"Send Windows Friendly attachments" is checked.
B: You created the JPG in Photoshop and used "Save As" and chose JPG instead of using "Save For Web"
What email client are you using to send the JPGs and what are you using to "create" them?
Mac can look at the file and tell you what it is. Windoze can only look at the extension. Plus if you've got malware/spyware/virusus your windows is not useable. Mac users can send anything to anyone and it will work if that anyone has a mac. Jpeg is universal, if you can open your files and open someone elses files and the someone else can open your files the problem is the one who cannot open files or send openable files.
I am using a Mac G5 with Tiger ... but am using Microsoft Entourage to send and receive e:mail. I just like the programme better than Mac Mail for my customer file purposes as well as my canned answers to inquiries.
I am using photoshop to make .jpg's and always use the "save for web" option ... so that is not the issue.
Friend "A" is using a two year old PC and can open my .jpg's. Friend "B" is using a "knock your socks off" windows xp machine but cannot open my .jpg's
I have tried sending them with various file extensions including: .jpg, j.peg and .jpeg nothing works. If there is a way around this that anyone knows of, what do I tell him to do in order to open the files ... exactly?
Friend "B" sent me a photo which I could open without any trouble. He just can't open mine.
The only other thing I can think of is the "A" option in my first reply. You didn't mention what your settings were for that.
I don't use Entourage so I don't know what the setting is in there for what I posted.
That is the ONLY thing I can think of that is causing this problem for one person and not for the other.
AppleDouble is the DEFAULT setting for Entourage.
switching may help you.
if not, then the problem is with your "B" XP-using friend and I have no clue what their problem is.

it would be great, if lilypondtool could make it possible to enter commands via MIDI Keyboard with the left hand.
(The upper octaves can be used as usual to enter the note pitch)
-change note or chord length
-enter rest or skip
-enter dot
-enter ~
-enter bar and new line
-delete character or last entry
-compile lilypond and show pdf
-enable or disable midi keyboard
So I don't have to switch to the PC keyboard all the time.
I programmed something like this in AutoIt and posted it in the german lilypond forum.
The application sends the defined keys to any editor.
In my script most the commands can be adapted easily in the ini-file.

Killeen Daily Herald
HARKER HEIGHTS - Harker Heights was trying to find out the right mix.
Copperas Cove wanted to build off its scrimmage season.
Neither really wanted to do it against a district rival. Regardless, the two teams played an early precursor to the District 12-5A season, with the Lady Bulldawgs defeating the Lady Knights 2-0 at the Centex girls soccer tournament.
Copperas Cove (3-1) scored off a corner kick in the 12th minute when Shelbie Letzer sent a low kick into the box, where it bumped in between Cove's Genesis Rivera and Marissa Roest and several Heights defenders.
In the scram, it was tipped into the goal.
"We know we have a real good corner kicker in and we have been working all year getting the ball into dangerous spots and she bent it right at the goal and I don't know who touched it last ... all I know is it went in," said Cove coach Hagen Streckel.
Cove freshman Courtney Everett scored in the 10th minute of the second half, sending a low-line kick though the hands of Heights goalkeeper Katie McPherson. The 2-0 lead was more than the Lady Knights could overcome.
"We gave them a lot more scoring opportunities than I wanted, but we kind of were playing with a makeshift lineup and are still trying to find out who goes where," said Heights coach Royce Mitchel.
Heights' best chance for a goal came in the 15th minute, when Bria Howard broke free on a 2-on-1 break, but her shot clanged high off the crossbeam and back into the field of play.
"Sometimes that is the toughest thing - showing them they had the opportunity. If that goes in, it is a whole new ball game," Mitchel said.
Byron Nelson and Weatherford took first place in the double-pool tournament, defeating Leander Rouse and Austin LBJ, respectively.
In the other second-place game, Robinson defeated Lampasas in a shootout 4-1 after both teams ended regulation in a 0-0 tie.
Robinson's Kali Branch, Chasity Rocket and Aubrie Jurels put the Lady Rockets up 3-0 in the shootout, forcing Lampasas into a must make with its third shot. Bailey Hilgenberg kept the Lady Badgers alive when she popped a kick over the Lady Rockets' goalkeeper, but Kennedy Miller ended the game when she made it a perfect 4-for-4 for the Lady Rockets in the shootout. Lampasas lost its first match of the day, falling 3-1 to Austin LBJ. Freshman Analise Watson scored the Lady Badgers' goal.
Ellison and Killeen both finished the tournament with wins in the tournament's third-place games.
After a 1-1 start on Friday, the Lady Eagles rebounded with a 1-0 win over Arlington Sam Houston and then followed that up with a 2-1 win over Pflugerville Connally. Brooke Guerrero had two goals and Alyssa Conde also scored for Ellison. Shelly Townsend had and assist.
Killeen, meanwhile, lost 1-0 to Copperas Cove on an Amanda Arrisola goal, but defeated Lorena 1-0 for third place in the blue-green pool.
Both Shoemaker and Salado finished last in their respective pools.
Belton 3, CP Vista Ridge 0 - At Waco, Hadley Young scored two more goals and added an assist as the Lady Tigers shut out the Lady Rangers.
Young's best play wasn't her goals. It was the assist where after getting a pass from Jaime Boone, she hit Bekah Rush on a cross pass to the goal. Rush then hit a header into the net.
Ellison splits at Mustang Classic- At Marble Falls, Garrett Strickland scored two goals to and Daniel Soria had an assist in the Eagles' 2-0 win over Salado.
Ellison finished the day with a 1-0 loss to Austin Travis in the tournament's consolation game.
Saturday's scores
Austin LBJ 3, Lampasas 1
Ellison 1, Sam Houston 0
Weatherford 5, Shoemaker 0
Copperas Cove 10, Killeen 0
Leander Rouse 2, Harker Heights 0
Byron Nelson 9, Salado 0
Robinson 0, Lampasas 0 (Robinson wins shootout 4-1)
Copperas Cove 2, Harker Heights 0
Arlington Sam Houston 4, Shoemaker 0
Elgin 2, Salado 0
Ellison 2, Pflg. Connally 1
Killeen 1, Lorena 0
