WASHINGTON—After a one-game absence, Jaroslav Halak came back with 36 saves to allow the Montreal Canadiens to stave off elimination with a 2-1 victory Friday over the Washington Capitals in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference quarter-final.
Mike Cammalleri and Travis Moen scored for the Canadiens, who still trail the best-of-seven series 3-2, but will now head back to play Game 6 in front of their rabid fans at the Bell Centre.
Alexander Ovechkin scored for the Capitals, giving him 16 goals in his last 16 playoff games.
But that was all the Capitals could muster on Halak, who played brilliantly to allow the Canadiens to steal the game.
Halak was pulled in Game 3 after allowing eight goals on his previous 30 shots, and he sat and watched Game 4 as Carey Price got the start and allowed four goals in a 6-3 loss.
But Halak came back with an effort as strong as Game 1, when his 45 saves allowed the Canadiens to steal a 3-2 overtime win in this same building.
He was at his best in the third period with 12 saves, including big ones on Alexander Semin and Tomas Fleischmann on an early power play, and robbing Ovechkin on one of his trademark rushes down the left wing midway through the period.
The Capitals did not have history on their side entering the game.
This was the ninth time the franchise has led a series 3-1, but the Capitals all-time record fell to 2-7 in Game 5 of those series. History doesn't bode well for the Capitals future, either, as the team has gone on to lose the series in three of the previous six times they lost that fifth game.
The Canadiens got the start they needed, scoring twice on their first five shots to grab a 2-0 lead in the first.
Cammalleri quickly got Montreal on the board, converting a blind backhand pass from Andrei Markov with a wrist shot high to the stick side on Varlamov at 1:30 for his third of the playoffs.
Cammalleri is the only member of the Canadiens with a point in every game of the series, and he now has seven points in the playoffs.
Canadiens coach Jacques Martin switched his lines by placing Moen on the left of Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta, and it paid quick dividends when Moen scored on a backhand from the slot for his first of the playoffs at 7:01.
Halak had to be sharp in the first to allow the Canadiens to enter intermission with a 2-0 lead, particularly when he stopped Semin on a dangerous wrister from the slot and again later in the shift on a great chance at the side of the net.
The Capitals did not wait long in the second to cut the deficit in half. Rookie sensation John Carlson put a point shot on net and Mike Knuble took a swipe at the rebound in front before Ovechkin poked it home at 3:52 for his fifth of the playoffs.
But Halak and the Canadiens held the fort the rest of the way, heading into the third up 2-1.
Montreal appeared content to protect that lead in the final frame, generating little on attack and sitting back in the neutral zone to wait for the Capitals.
The strategy worked, but largely because of the guy in the Canadiens net.
Notes: The Canadiens scratched forwards Ben Maxwell and Mathieu Darche, while defenceman Jaroslav Spacek missed his second game with an illness. . . Capitals defenceman Shaone Morrisonn missed his second game with an undisclosed injury. Tyler Sloan took his spot in the lineup for a second straight game. . . Scott Walker, Quintin Laing, David Steckel and John Erskine were scratched for Washington. . . It was the first game in series Nicklas Backstrom was held off the scoresheet. He had five goals and four assists in the first four games. . . The two top power play teams from the regular season combined to go 0-for-10 with the man advantage, with five opportunities apiece.

PBS to Debut Second Season of LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX, 6/29
BBC Worldwide North America Sales & Distribution and PBS announced today that the critically acclaimed British drama Last Tango In Halifax will return for a second season in the U.S., debuting June 29 2014, at 8:00 p.m. ET on PBS. New sitcom VICIOUS, also starring TANGO lead Derek Jacobi, will join the lineup on Sunday, July 6 at 10:30 p.m. ET.
Written by Sally Wainwright ("Scott and Bailey," "Unforgiven," "At Home With the Braithwaites") and directed by Euros Lyn ("Black Mirror," "Sherlock") and Jill Robertson (Law & Order: UK), Last Tango In Halifax tells the story of love struck septuagenarians Alan (Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) who rediscover their love for each other later in life - 60 years, in fact, after they first met. The heart-warming series, which was named one of the "Best TV shows of 2013" by Variety, was the BBC's highest rating new mid-week drama of 2012, regularly attracting more than seven million viewers with its captivating mix of effervescent humor and moving drama. Made by Red Production Company for the BBC, Last Tango In Halifax is produced by Karen Lewis with Nicola Shindler, Sally Wainwright and Matthew Read as the executive producers.
The six-part series returns as Alan and Celia continue to negotiate family baggage to plan a life together. Having come so close to losing each other forever thanks to Alan's near fatal heart attack, he and Celia decide to have a romantic Secret Wedding as soon as possible. But how will their respective daughters react? The uptight Caroline and rebellious Gillian are discovering they actually quite like each other, however Gillian's need to own UP to her night with Caroline's ex-husband John could jeopardize the soon-to-be stepsisters' fledgling friendship. As secrets from the past come tumbling out and family members adjust to changing relationships, can Alan and Celia find the long-awaited happiness they deserve?
"LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX captured the hearts of millions of viewers," said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming, PBS. "We are excited to continue the love story between Alan and Celia and work with Red Production and the BBC on an exciting second season. We're also thrilled that we'll be giving the acclaimed Derek Jacobi an additional opportunity to shine later in the evening with VICIOUS."
In addition to Jacobi (The King's Speech, "The Borgias," My Week With Marilyn) and Reid ("Upstairs, Downstairs," "Marchlands"), Last Tango In Halifax features Sarah Lancashire ("Five Daughters," "Wuthering Heights," "Inspector George Gently") as Caroline, Nicola Walker ("Inside Men," "Spooks," "Being Human") as Gillian, Tony Gardner ("Fresh Meat," "My Parents Are Aliens") as John, Dean Andrews ("Life On Mars," "Ashes To Ashes," "Marchlands") as Robbie, Nina Sosanya ("Silk," "Five Days," "Hustle") as Kate, Ronni Ancona ("Skins," "Big Impression") as Judith and Josh Bolt ("Shameless," Nowhere Boy) as Raff.

The New Scott Lively Sounds A Lot Like The Old Scott Lively
It was earlier this year when the Boston Globe reported that notorious anti-gay activist Scott Lively had bought a coffee shop and was going to focus less on fighting the culture wars and more on helping the homeless, drug addicts, and alcoholics and "stop being involved in the other [anti-gay] stuff."
Not surprisingly, Lively hasn't done this at all and has spent the last year still carrying out his anti-gay activism, railing against "sodomites" and warning that gay marriage is literally a sign of the End Times.
Over the weekend, Lively again demonstrated his new-found commitment to helped the downtrodden by penning a new piece for WND declaring that the war against gay culture is on the verge of being lost all because Christians refuse to stand up and openly proclaim the truth that homosexuality is an abomination:
I'm old enough to remember the debate about whether homosexuals should be allowed to be teachers at all, let alone allowed to punish students for disagreeing with the class-time advocacy of their sexual lifestyle. I remember the protestations from the pro-homosexual side, that "gays and lesbians just want the right to be left alone. They would NEVER interject their private lives into the classroom." They all lied, and we believed them, and now our children and grandchildren are being forced to celebrate "gay" culture under penalty of law.
That is the end game for the "gays." The final stage of their agenda, which has always been about taking control of things, is the power to punish dissent: to silence or crush their detractors. They only have this level of control in a few places yet, but they are moving fast to achieve it everywhere, and the momentum is on their side. And wherever they have it, they use it.
So many seemingly separate issues that are really just one issue: the unnatural, dysfunctional, personally and socially destructive phenomenon of homosexual sin. We are warned clearly and emphatically about it in the Bible. We have seen its corrupting effect in history. And we are literally watching its ethic of sexual anarchy supplant the biblical model of family as the guiding value system of our society ... We need to stand firmly and unapologetically on the hard truth that homosexuality is not a benign, morally neutral social phenomenon. It is an insidious and contagious form of sexual perversion condemned by God as an abomination. I cringe even writing these words because I know the wrath I am inviting on myself. Still, someone needs to say this boldly and publicly because it is the truth, and only the truth can set us free of the political correctness that has imprisoned us until now.
The homosexual agenda represents an existential threat to Christian civilization and we're in the final phase of the war, losing badly. It all hinges upon you, Christian reader. Either get into the "game" in earnest, immediately, or wave goodbye.

Shadowrun Returns launch pushed back to May, June 2013
Kickstarter funded tactical role-playing game Shadowrun Returns will launch later than expected after developer Harebrained Studios announced a new release window of May or June, 2013.
During its initial Kickstarter funding the studio planned for a scheduled launch in Jan. 2013, with releases on PC, iOS and Android devices; However, following a highly successful campaign which saw a 470 percent increase on the studio's original $400,000 funding goal — jumping to nearly $1.9 million via Kickstarter and PayPal contributions — the project grew in scale.
"As we announced a few months ago, we've backed off our original delivery date of January 2013. It might've worked for the scope of the game we originally envisioned but as our ambitions (read that "features list") grew, so did the time we needed to deliver! Plus, we made a big move from our original top down camera to an isometric point of view and that took serious R&D time. Right now, according to our estimates, we're looking at May or June.
"We've spent the majority of our time getting our game engine, art pipeline and base gameplay up and running and we've covered a lot of ground to get a lot of systems in place. Our engineering team has been crunching off and on for months to maximize the amount of time our designers will have to create our story."
According to the recent Kickstarter update, the team has since adjusted its work schedule, created a gameplay prototype called Run 'n' Gun, built a secret lab environment populated by Lone Star guards, re-designed its combat interface to run more smoothly, revised and debugged base combat AI, among numerous other fixes.
"After many weeks of hardcore debugging, iterating, and reworking, we're happy to say that we've "found the fun". We're happy with Run 'n' Gun and feel confident that we're building the rest of the game on a solid foundation. Beyond all the design meetings and system write-ups, our designers have created more than a dozen additional scenarios that exercise the editor, the AI, the interface, the combat systems, and our skill as players."
Shadowrun Returns is now half-way through development. The team will next work on the magic and tech-based abilities, conversation system and narrative.

Ravens' veterans finally get shot at Super Bowl ring
Story Topics
OWINGS MILLS, Md. | The only reason why Matt Birk brought his aching knees and battered body to training camp for a 15th NFL season was to get to the Super Bowl.
The 36-year-old Birk was bothered by neck, elbow and knee injuries during his previous three years with the Baltimore Ravens, yet he never missed a start. During the offseason, the six-time Pro Bowl center underwent surgery to repair varicose veins in his legs.
Still, Birk knew the Ravens had a shot at a championship, and he wanted to be a part of it.
"At this stage in my career, losing takes a lot out of you," Birk said. "I wouldn't have come back if I didn't think there was a legitimate chance that I could help the team."
Birk, safety Ed Reed and guard Bobbie Williams head a list of longtime veterans who will be making their first Super Bowl appearance when the Ravens face the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3.
"It means a lot for all the guys to have an opportunity to be a part of that," coach John Harbaugh said. "To be able to be involved with that as a leader is a huge thing. It makes you feel really good, and now you try to make the most of it."
Birk endured 11 fruitless years in Minnesota, reaching the playoffs five times without a conference title. Then, after joining the Ravens as a free agent in 2009, he was part of three more playoff runs that ended short of the Super Bowl.
Now, Birk is poised to be part of the NFL's biggest game.
"It's great, obviously," he said. "That's the goal. That's your dream. That's why you play."
Maybe Birk deserved it, after everything he went through over his first 14 years. But Birk exudes no such feeling of entitlement.
"Nobody deserves it more than anybody else. It doesn't matter how long you play," he said. "To be doing it with this team and just, I think, the closeness of this team and kind of the journey that we have been through my four years here -- every year getting close and getting close -- to finally break through, it's pretty special."
Reed, 34, has earned nine Pro Bowl invitations in 11 years with Baltimore and has long been recognized as one of the finest free safeties in the game. But he never got into the Super Bowl until now, and to make it even sweeter, his first appearance will be in his home state of Louisiana.
"It's been a long time coming, but it takes time," Reed said. "We've built up to this point."
Teammate Jacoby Jones, who grew up in New Orleans, will be making his Super Bowl debut in his sixth season. After the Ravens beat New England 28-13 in the AFC title game, Reed prepared for a trip to familiar territory with Jones in tow.
"I really don't have any words for it," Reed said. "I rushed into the locker room to call my mom, because I know that my family has been going through some things, so I'm just thankful to be going home and for the whole of New Orleans to see some hometown guys. Jacoby, we talked about it. We haven't been there since [Hurricane] Katrina. We're just grateful."
The Ravens failed to win the AFC title game in 2008 and 2012 under Harbaugh before finally breaking through.
"For everything we've been through since coach Harbaugh got here, he had a vision of working us a certain way and taking us through something to build something and to create this moment," Reed said. "We believed it, but it was just something we had to go through as men and understand each other and understand the process together."
Williams, a backup on the line, played for Philadelphia and Cincinnati before getting into the Super Bowl in his 13th NFL season. Linebacker Terrell Suggs (10th season) and former Houston Texans stars Vonta Leach (ninth) and Bernard Pollard (seventh) signed as free agents with Baltimore for the chance to perform on the sport's grandest stage.
Quarterback Joe Flacco, who needed only five years to get it done, takes delight in seeing some of his older teammates finally heading to the Super Bowl.
"No doubt about it, I am excited for everybody that has been in the league as long as those guys have been," he said. "To have this opportunity is pretty cool."

XB1 will not supprt 3d Blu-Rays at launch
I'm sure we are all terribly heartbroken. Though I'm more likely to use that feature than to play CDs, (I've asked for Pacific Rim 3d Blu-Ray for Xmas, in what will be probably my first and only 3d blu-ray.)
This sort of sums up the whole generation in a nutshell so far. Both sides make mistakes but MS' tends to dwarf Sony's. The PS4 doesnt play CDs. Most people's reaction-what's a CD? The Xbone on the other hand doesn't play BRs - waahh?
I assume that will just be a very temporary thing though. Fixed in the initial update perhaps?
Edit. Ahh I see now that it's 3D BR support. Well that's not a very big deal at all for me. That wouldn't put be off buying an Xbone in the least.

TD Bank names George Hall market leader
- Margie Manning

- Email | Facebook | Twitter | Google+
Veteran banker George Hall is the new market leader for TD Bank in the Tampa Bay area.
Hall, regional vice president for the Greater Tampa Bay region, is directly responsible for commercial lending and small business lending in the area, and has joint responsibility for TD's retail branches. He's also the bank's point person for the community and civic groups, such as the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp.
Hall is the former Florida president of Superior Bank, which was one of the largest banks in the Tampa Bay area before it failed in April 2011, in large part due to stress on its portfolio caused by the BP oil spill.
TD Bank, part of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD), has 26 branch offices, which it calls stores, in the Gulf Coast-Tampa area, including Citrus, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties, with just over $1 billion in deposits as of June 30, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
TD entered the market in 2010, with the acquisition of the parent company of the Mercantile Bank.
"We're keen to expand in Tampa on what has been a good effort and make it better," Hall said.
At TD, Hall succeeds Tony Ong, a Mercantile veteran who is now MidSouth market commercial credit manager at TD Bank in Vienna, Va., according to his LinkedIn profile.
Margie Manning is Quality and Content Editor of the Tampa Bay Business Journal. She also covers banking, finance and professional services.

There's been a lot of talk about whether Coldplay stole their hit song "Viva la Vida" from that guitar guy or from that stupid band no one's heard of, but the truth is that the song wasn't stolen from either of those places.
It was stolen though. I have discovered the true source of Coldplay's "inspiration".
And I have the proof:

Afghanistan Suspect Had Shaky Business Dealings
The U.S. suspect in the slaughter of 16 villagers in Afghanistan has a trail of shaky financial dealings — from working in penny-stock boiler rooms that drew numerous client complaints, to an unpaid $1.5 million fraud judgment, to a failed investment partnership with a former high school football teammate, records show. His Lake Tapps, WA home was put up for sale earlier this month.

Seven teenage girls were rushed to hospital, one of them serious, after being caught up in a rip-tide near Dunedin.
Four teenagers were taken via helicopter including the most seriously injured teen who suffered from water inhalation and hypothermia.
Three were taken to Dunedin Hospital by road.
Five have since been discharged. Two are undergoing observation and are in a stable condition.
They had been part of a group of 80 Year 9 pupils from Columba College on a school trip to the Purakanui-Goat Island inlet.
They were being supervised by teachers and Year 13 pupils. In total 12 girls were treated at the scene by paramedics.
Police said a number of them went swimming in the sea and was dragged 50 metres away from the shore by a rip.
All the pupils have been accounted for.
Dunedin St John team manager Doug Third said the girl had been helped by a surfer in the area who lifted her onto his board. She is now believed to have stabilised.
The other pupils were rescued by two surf lifeguards who were also in a water rescue squad, he said.
When the call came in, the two had been setting up for the South Island IRB Championships in Warrington, and were able to send a boat out quickly.
Another rescue swimmer, who was on the rescue helicopter, had to wade into shoulder deep water to help with the rescue.
About twenty other girls were in the water and trying to hold on to what seemed to be the blown up inner tube of a tyre, he said.
An Otago Rescue Helicopter Trust spokesman said the area was generally safe.
''Over the years we had pulled one or two people out of the water there but no more so than the rest of the coastline in New Zealand,'' he said. ''It's just unfortunate. Usually, it's pretty benign out there.''
Columba College Board of Governors Chairman Tony Sycamore said the school will be offering counselling and support to the pupils and their families.
''Today I have just been so proud of the teachers and the Year 13 girls who were helping and supporting, and the Year 9 girls as well. We're happy to report that everyone is safe and we are lucky that when the girls returned most of their parents were here and we were able to gather them in the sports centre to update them.
"We are doing everything that we can to support the girls and and their families and the parents that were involved.''
St John was alerted to the incident at 1.52pm and sent two ambulances and one helicopter to the scene.
The Fire Service and the Coast Guard also attended.

Sail-World.com : World Sailing Cup Miami - Medals in Paralympic and Windsurfing events
World Sailing Cup Miami - Medals in Paralympic and Windsurfing events
'Spain's Ivan Pastor saved his best for last in the Men's RS:X - World Sailing Cup Miami 2013'
US Sailing ©
The first ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami medalists of 2013 were determined on day five. Men's and Women's RS:X events conducted semifinal and final round races. The 2.4 mR and Sonar fleets of the Paralympic events took part in their final day of fleet racing.
Israel's Maayan Davidovich and Spain's Ivan Pastor saved their best for last in the Women's and Men's RS:X events. Davidovich had one win prior to the finals and Pastor had none. They each won their dramatic, winner take all final race to capture gold.
Pastor, a two-time Olympian in 2012 and 2008, was ecstatic about his first ISAF Sailing World Cup title. 'It feels incredible to win one of these great World Cup events,' he said. 'The conditions were ideal for me with the strong wind. It was more stable and I maneuvered well to get in position.'
The 2012 Olympic silver medalist and defending ISAF Sailing World Cup Miami Champion Nick Dempsey (GBR) finished second to gain silver medal honors. The 2012 Olympic gold medalist and three-time champion of this event finished with the bronze medal. He won five out of 10 races this week.
Davidovich was equally excited about her first World Cup gold medal. 'I'm happy to share the podium with Tuuli (Petaja-Siren) and Blanca (Manchon),' said Maayan. 'I wasn't the fastest on the water, but I had a good regatta. This is my first important race for the Rio campaign, so it's good to start off on the right foot. I love Miami and I'm looking forward to racing here again.'
ISAF Sailing World Cup , Miami
Division: Women's RSX (15 boats) Sail Number: ISR 10 Davidovich, Maayan -
US Sailing
Finland's Tuuli Petaja-Siren, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist, won another silver medal with her second place finish. She won four of the 10 races this week. Blanca Manchon, a former World Champion, was third for the bronze medal.
After a recommendation from the Olympic Classes Sub-committee at the 2012 ISAF Annual Conference, Olympic classes have recommended formats to ISAF for testing. The RS:X Class Association's proposed format has been trialed throughout the week in Miami. The RS:X World Championships take place February 28 to March 7 in Buzios, Brazil.
Great Britain's Megan Pascoe won her first two races of the week today to seal the win in the 2.4 mR event. Pascoe did not post a finish worse than second following race four out of 10. She tallied six second place finishes. Pascoe won by three points over Canadian Allan Leibel, who was second in both races today. Leibel took the silver medal, while Bruce Millar (CAN) secured the bronze.
Pascoe was fourth last year in Miami and third in the 2.4 mR World Championships last September. The 2013 International 2.4 mR Open World Championship takes place take place September 6-14 in Britain.
Aleksander Wang-Hansen, Marie Solberg and Per Eugen Kristiansen of Norway won the gold medal in the Sonar event and finished strong today with a win in race 10. They were second in race nine. Wang-Hansen and his crew won by a nine point margin. The 2012 Olympic bronze medalists won four races this week. Two American teams secured silver and bronze medals. Andrew Fisher, Mike Hersey and Ryan Levinson took the silver, while Rick Doerr, Brad Kendell and Hugh Freund won bronze.
'We've been working hard together for years now and it's paying off,' said Wang-Hansen. 'We have a long way to go, but it's full speed ahead for Rio.'
49ers Ryan Pesch and Trevor Burd (USA) gained ground on leaders Fred Strammer and Zach Brown (USA). Pesch and Burd tallied impressive scores today by finishing second, first and fourth to pull within two points of the leaders. Strammer and Brown were fourth, second and fifth.
Brazil's Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze kept their five point lead today in the 49er FX. They were victorious in race 13 and second in race 14. American's Anna Tunnicliffe and Molly Vandemoer are in second place.
The top six teams in the 49er and 49er FX events will advance to Saturday's respective medal races. The medal races will be conducted using a unique format and challenging course. The theater style course includes two enclosed parallel lanes approximately 400 meters long and 220 meters wide. The target time for race duration is 10 minutes, with the goal of three laps. The first boat to win two races wins the regatta. Teams entering the medal races with the lead from the fleet series will begin this stage with a win.
Charlie Buckingham surged to the top of the Laser leaderboard this afternoon. He won race 13, which counts as zero points (bonus point for race wins), was second in race 14, and 17th (discard) in the final race of the day.
Perhaps no sailor had a stronger performance today than Ireland's Annalise Murphy of the Laser Radial event. She won the final two races to take a four point lead over Paige Railey of the United States. Railey won race 13 today and is in second place.
The Lasers and Laser Radials will feature a creative medal round series on Saturday. The top ten will sail three medal races. Each medal race is double points and non-discardable. The final score is the six race series which began Thursday, plus the medal race scores. For more information on this format, read the explanation at the end of this recap.
Caleb Paine (USA) will have a 10 point lead going into Saturday's medal race. The Finn U.S. National Champion was fourth and second today. Canadian Greg Douglas moved into second place by finishing third twice. The World
1 and ISAF Sailing World Cup Melbourne Champion Brendan Casey (AUS) won both races today, but a 29 (DNE – disqualification not excludable) on Thursday set him back going into today. He ended the day in sixth place.
Sarah Newberry and John Casey (USA) have a strong hold on the number one spot in the Nacra 17 event. Newberry and Casey finished first and second today and led by 11 points over Sarah Streater and Matthew Whitehead (USA). They were also first and second today.
In the Men's 470, Matthias Schmid and Floran Reichstaedter (AUS) gained ground with a pair of wins, yet trail by seven points. Stuart McNay and David Hughes of the U.S. scored second and third place results and will be the top team heading into the medal race on Saturday. Xiaoli Wang and Xufeng Huang (CHN) won both Women's 470 races to pull within nine points of leaders Fernanda Oliveira and Ana Luiza Barbachan (BRA). Both 470 fleets raced together on Friday.
Strong winds permeated a sunshine splashed Biscayne Bay. Wind speed surpassed 20 knots and temperatures were in the 60s and low 70s.

Now, finally, there's the book. The HMS Bounty, constructed for the eponymous film, had a very public life, and now a very public death.

It's coming. Dodgers/biminis to be solar power producers
UK Sailmakers/Sail-World Cruising
It had to happen. With the advances of solar technology, soon you will be able to have solar energy producers - photovoltaic cells - built into sunshades, biminis, dodgers and/or into the sails themselves. The next best news is that the resultant fabric needs only light, not direct sunlight so it won't matter that dodgers and biminis are often shaded by the sails while moving.

Cruising boats flee Thailand after rules change
Sail-World Cruising/Phuket News
Governments of the world beware. Countries popular with cruising sailors reap good economic benefits, but cruising yachts are designed to move, and cruising sailors will vote with their lifted anchors when authorities, by design or accident, make it difficult or more expensive for visiting yachts. Many countries have experienced this, and Thailand is only the latest.

We just got 3 Nigerian Dwarf goats a few weeks ago. First we got two adorable, small sisters, and then two days later we got another goat, coming by herself, who was in milk. I didn't realize it at the time, but she was leaving her herd, and her kids, behind, and her owners had just gone away for a week and had a stand-in milker who had had trouble milking her. So, she was understandably nervous in her new surroundings, and milking did not go well.
The first few times she did jump up on the milk stand, and let me try to milk her for a few minutes. I was very new at it, and so I didn't get milk for a while. Eventually she squirmed, kicked and then finally lay down. Worried we shouldn't let her go unmilked, my husband went out two mornings in a row and milked her while holding her leg up, as he had seen in a video,
My tack was to try to get her to do it willingly, since supposedly she had willingly let her previous owner milk her. This took me forever, but I did quickly train her to stand up again (after lying down) for a carrot. I did also sort of force her, by picking her up and holding her up, but not as restrictively as my husband. Eventually, when she really resisted, I'd let her go back in her pen.
It was very stressful going out there several times a day and trying to coax her, somewhat forcing her, etc. Her previous owner said she could milk her out in 4-6 minutes. I was spending close to an hour it seemed, and I have a clingly two year old that I was leaving in the house with my mom. Just coaxing her up to the milk stand took a lot of time.
Finally one night as I was walking out to the barn with a feeling of dread, I decided to stop milking her, and try to get her happy with her new situation by spending time with her, etc. and planned to breed her again, or one of the others and try to get milk after kidding.
It's been a few days since then. This morning when I went out to the barn, I had a bit of second thoughts, wondering if I had kept forcing her (gently and with treats) if it could have worked out. I tried milking her and she did have milk, but I let her go once she lay down.
So,,,, do any goat experts out there have an opinion? Is it really so bad for her to be forced? Would she come around if I continue? Or is it better to go for quality of relationship first, and milk second? I am bummed to have given up on the milk, but it is much less stressful. Being right before Christmas didn't help, as I had so much to do that I wasn't getting to (because of trying to milk her for so long several times a day). I have a feeling if I start up again I could get her supply up, but should I? Will it be different if I breed her again?
Thoughts will be quite appreciated!

Clippers' Griffin appears to be a target
Broderick Turner, Los Angeles TimesPORTLAND, Ore.--The Los Angeles Clippers grudgingly accepted the NBA's saying Thursday that Blake Griffin shouldn't have been ejected from Wednesday night's game against the Golden State Warriors, but Los Angeles still is coming to grips with the perception that its All-Star forward has become a target.
Griffin was ejected by the officials after he was issued a technical foul along with Golden State's Andrew Bogut after the two had become entangled with 10:43 left in the game.
It was Griffin's second technical foul of the game, his first coming when the Clippers power forward and Golden State reserve Draymond Green were given double technical fouls at the end of the third quarter.
Green, who was fined $15,000 by the NBA for not leaving the court in a timely manner, was ejected after he hit Griffin with an elbow.
It's that sort of thing that Green did that makes some think Griffin has been targeted by some of his opponents.
"Everyone is a target at some point in their career," Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said. "And you just play through it. Blake is starting to let his game show, like, 'You can keep bumping me and hitting me, I'm just going to keep dropping 20s (points) and 14s (rebounds) on you.' And eventually it'll go away. And that's what he's doing and it will."
The NBA said a "common foul" should have been called on Griffin for trying to become dislodged from Bogut, who the league said should have been assessed a technical foul "for grabbing Griffin by the shirt and wrestling with him."
The Clippers still lost the game to the Warriors no matter what decision the league made a day later.
"No, we haven't benefited from it," Rivers said. "But I think it's still nice that the league does it. I think it shows transparency. The old league wouldn't say that. I think it's good that they do that. I think it's not a bad thing."
Paul, Griffin in line for All-Star spots
When the NBA announced its second balloting results for the All-Star game, the Clippers still were well-represented.
Clippers guard Chris Paul and Griffin were ranked high among vote-getters for the Western Conference All-Star team.
Paul had the second-most votes (533,647) for West guards behind the Lakers' Kobe Bryant (723,031).
Griffin had the third-most votes (399,357) for West frontcourt players behind leader Kevin Durant (870,728) of Oklahoma City and Dwight Howard (408,623) of Houston.
Clippers rookie Reggie Bullock said that he's about 70 percent healthy after a sprained left ankle and that he has been running the last two days. Bullock said he's about one to 11/2 weeks away from playing.
