Marianne Edwards Letters, Mss. 1850, Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collections, LSU Libraries, Baton Rouge, La. |
Stack location(s). |
Marianne Edwards, formerly of Evansville, Indiana, was the wife of Guy M. Edwards, a Massachusetts sea captain. She took voyages from Boston to New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, France, Spain, Florida, and Brazil.
The letters, chiefly addressed to sister-in-law, Maria, concern a voyage (1855-1856) from Boston to New Orleans, to La Rochelle, France, and to Cadiz, Spain, aboard the trading vessel Bennington; a voyage aboard the George W. Bourne from Newfoundland around Cape Horn (1857) to Callao and to the Chincha Islands, Peru, and return to Newfoundland by way of New Orleans (1858); a voyage aboard the George W. Bourne to Pensacola Bay, Florida, for the transport of lumber to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1859), and travel from New Orleans to Bordeaux, France and back (1860). Topics mentioned include shipping and freight business, social and physical conditions aboard ships and in ports, incidents of yellow fever and scarlet fever, African American crew members, and personal matters including the education of Marianne's children.
Some letters (1862-1863) concern a voyage on the Nonantum on the Lower Mississippi River and at New Orleans, describe conditions during the Federal occupation of New Orleans, and comment on the regulations issued by General Benjamin F. Butler, the large number of casualties at the Battle of Port Hudson, Louisiana, and conditions in hospitals in New Orleans and Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Later letters (1866) chiefly concern family matters including farming in Hampton, Virginia, African American labor, and opinions of the Freedmen's bill.

Is God calling you?
Our world is in desperate need of Christ. Perhaps God is calling you to be a light and to minister to this rapidly changing and deeply broken world. But where do you begin? How do you respond to that call with the tools, knowledge and experiences required for the task at hand? To be effective in today's ever-changing world, Christians must focus on fully comprehending the Bible, living a life of character and integrity, and working in an
environment that is becoming more global. Denver Seminary equips you, no matter the context to which God calls you.

The only one with merit is the shock wave engine. All the others trade off far greater complexity, weight and cost for fuel efficiency. Two of the designs depend on problem prone sleeve valves, old technology long since rejected.
Aside from the Michigan State engine (give it a name, please!!! M-Shock, perhaps?), all of these designs suffer the same problem that most engines do: they use power-robbing, problematic reciprocating parts. The Michigan State engine starts off with what should be the most important feature of any engine or motor: it rotates on its own center of gravity, maintaining its own inertia.
The illustration of the Pinnacle engine does not show one or more key features: it will, at least, require one or more long rods to connect and synchronize the two cylinder banks of the engine. That rod will work against the efficiency of the engine, adding weight, complexity and vulnerabilities. Yes, it eliminates a static cylinder head, but replaces it with an extra rotating mass: it has two crankshafts, rather than one. That extra crankshaft is a double penalty: not only does it add more weight to the engine, but any mass that must spin up during acceleration robs you of even more energy than mass that is stationary relative to the rest of the engine (and the vehicle.)
The EcoMotors engine has similar problems: the long rods on the sides not only add masses that have complex semi- reciprocating masses that need to be spun up upon acceleration, but the length of the rods themselves are problematical. The longer and skinnier the rod, the more vulnerable it is to harmonic fatigue and failure. You have to compromise-- either a heavier, less efficient rod to attain decent RPMs, or a lighter rod that limits your top-end and power.
The Michigan State (M- Shock?) engine has promise, but the article does not give enough data to be very reassuring yet. It shares some characteristics with turbines, which may tell us something about what we may expect from it. Without valves closing rapidly hundreds of times a minute, the M-Shock may be a very quiet engine, requiring little or no sound muffling. It appears to have only one major moving part, which is turning on its own center of gravity, and that one part appears to be very light in mass, so that on spin-up, it will accelerate rapidly.
It is such a radical design that it would be foolish to try to guess its efficiency; despite simplicity and rotating on their own center of gravity, turbines are unfortunately rather inefficient. The M-Shock may look like a turbine, but operates with different principles and hopefully may be far more efficient.
A major factor to be resolved is its emissions-- can it burn cleanly? Clean enough that it will need no emissions gear whatsoever, perhaps? Or maybe it's very efficient, but very dirty, so that by the time you clean it up, it's only as fuel efficient as, say, a Wankel engine, which is what made the otherwise lovable Mazda RX cars such gas-guzzlers. I do hope it's a clean, efficient burner.
Regardless of how good the engine is, it's still an ENGINE... it still uses fuel... and will still leave us somewhat dependent on foreign oil, still have a carbon footprint, which is why I'm such a fan of electric vehicles. This engine may at least help get us by until EVs can hit their stride.
Thanks, PopSci.
All these concepts require some sort of catalytic converter to clean up the exhaust.One engine concept that could do away with the need for a catalytic converter is the Cyclone external combustion engine.It burns anything flammable,and combustion is complete,so no exhaust cleanup is required.It's efficiency is similar to a diesel.Google: cyclone power technologies waste heat engine
Impressive, now if they could just break out the rest of the patents the oil and gas compamnies stole from the original inventers and quit poking around. just quit giving executives bonuses until there are several new breeds of autos that all get 75 to 150 miles per gallon of gas
Roy_H and billdale, the shockwave engine is unique in the simplicity of the basic operation. My first thoughts deal with throttling and torque output. Since combustion timing is fixed by port locations, it doesn't seem to be a variable RPM motor design. That would also mean fixed torque output. Engine simplicity is no guarantee that everything past the output shaft will also be simpler.
The lead-in did mention a possible use in generating electricity so a Volt-like drive system could be more efficient.
There's always time to do it better NOW.
Funding for internal combustion engine development dried up decades ago. "It's all been done" was the mantra. This proves there's always room for improvement, even when one generation arrogantly believes they've reached the pinnacle.
"...dried up decades ago"?
Where is that true? Certainly not in todays world.
The I/C engine is nowhere close to being tossed on the proverbial trashpile. Each model year brings improvments in engine efficiency and durability. Funding for I/C engine development is seen everytime you watch NASCAR, Formula 1, IRL - any motorsport and you will see proof that I/C engine development has not 'dried up'.
Two words: Laser Injection.
Now if they could work in magnets into the engine design so that they could advertise magnetic fields, it would possibly be the most sellable engine in the world. I have no idea how it would work.
It looks like the internal combustion engine is in earnest hands. We will see how many of them become practical to put in vehicles though. Just because an engine is extremely efficient doesn't mean that it has enough torque to get a human vehicle moving quickly or offset its own weight or that it would be any fun to drive. I'm sorry, but I won't drive an extremely efficient vehicle if it sounds absurd. That would drive me crazy every time I drove it.

Negative Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at ADP in November 2013.
Interview Details – I was initially contacted by a recruiter after submitting a resume and cover letter. We set up a phone interview. The recruiter was engaging, asked solid / typical interview questions, and was an all around pleasant experience. From there, I was set up to have an in person interview with the hiring Manager / VP of the office.
Here is where things began to change. I drove 3 hours for this interview, which was fine. I am looking to relocate so I should expect that. I told the recruiter where I lived and had all my current addresses on the material I sent in (Resume, Cover Letter, etc...). I am told immediately when I meet the manager that it will be a brief interview, so don't be worried. Ok, fine, I understand they have busy jobs. Short, brief, and to the point. Sounds good to me.
However, during the course of the 15 minute interview. I am asked really only three questions 1) Tell me about this on your resume 2) Explain how this relates to ADP and what we do 3) rank these 4 terms ( listening, closing, etc...) in order of importance. I understand this is for a sales position so I ran with it. I interjected as much info as I could, expanded with specific examples from my experience, and sold myself. There is only so much you can do without being asked specific questions.
To say the least, I was very disappointed with the interview. I was not asked any behavioral questions like it stated I would be in the preceding email. In addition, the lack of enthusiasm in the interview for a company that thrives and wants "high energy" was saddening. My phone interview was longer, more in depth, and more engaging. I was expecting nothing less then that from an in person interview.
I sent a follow-up email thanking them for their time and that I looked forward to hearing back from then and so on. A few days later I got a generic response from an office email saying they were going a different direction ( though at this time it didn't really matter as I had decided they weren't a company I wanted to work for anyway). But the lack of professionalism to respond to my direct email to the manager I met with was shocking. Surely, I figured, when you get down to a round of interviews with less then 10 candidates they have the time and decency to respond directly. Unfortunately, I was proven wrong. I still think ADP is a good company overall, but the culture and atmosphere certainly seem to change depending on the office.
Interview Question – Not enough questions Answer Question
No Offer
Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 4 days - interviewed at ADP in September 2013.
Interview Details – I applied online through LinkedIn and was contacted by a recruiter later that day. She set up a phone call with me to talk more about the position. It was more of a phone screening/interview where she asked basic questions about my resume, background and "what motivates me." At the end she recommended I have an interview with the RVP the next week. She sent me an email confirmation with the time and tips for the interview- Don't ignore these because they do take them seriously!
When I arrived at the office there was no front desk- which threw me off! I had to call the rvp's assistant on the phone using a list they had out front. The RVP met me in the lobby to bring me back to his office. He was super friendly and outgoing- easy to talk to but a little overwhelming if you're not expecting that! He asked me more basics- "Tell me about your background," "What motivates you," "Tell me about a time when you had to overcome adversity." At the end, make sure you bring out your written down questions to ask. He literally told me he was looking for them after I had pulled them out. In the end I walked away knowing that I hadn't answered the questions the best way possible.
Though I didn't do it- a contact at the company told me that if I really wanted the job I should be professionally persistent. Call back the next day to tell the RVP I really wanted the job and thought I would do well. Call back the day after that to say the same thing etc. I did not follow his advice soon enough and was emailed a generic "thank you for applying" email.
Overall a really great, respectable company and a great experience with the interview, but you have to really be on your A game and want it!

I applied online and the process took 2 days - interviewed at ADP in July 2013.
Interview Details – The process was very quick. I applied online and got an email the next day requesting a time for a phone interview. The phone interview lasted about half an hour. The questions themselves were expected questions such as "Tell us about your work history", "Why do you want to work for ADP", etc. I then received an email at the end of the week with brief feedback and that they had chosen to move on with another candidate.

I applied through a recruiter and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at ADP.
Interview Details – Do not go to this interview if you are a recent graduate. I made the trip to interview for an outside sales position. The person I was supposed to meet with was not able to because she was in a meeting. I spent only fifteen minutes with another person as they told me they do not hire recent graduates. I was not given the opportunity to explain my qualifications, as I did have sales experience. I was also not asked any interview questions. I was very disappointed and thought the whole process was very unprofessional. Save your time and money.

Average Interview
I applied through other source and the process took 1 week - interviewed at ADP in April 2013.
Interview Details – Applied through linkedin. Performed a phone interview with someone in HR, and was directed to fill out an application online. It was for the small business, new business development position. A couple of days later I was contacted by the HR rep and scheduled an interview at their office in Richmond, VA. I interviewed with the VP of sales of Virginia. The interview involved your basic Why Sales? Why ADP? What do you know about the position? What is an example of overcoming adversity from your life? How do you feel about cold calling? How would you open up a sales conversation?
I was not offered the position because I did not have sufficient prospecting experience (as in I'm a B.A. with no sales experience). Or maybe they just said that as an excuse because I might not have appeared as enthusiastic as they would have liked. I tried my best.

Interview Details – Applied via ADP's website then had an ADP employee refer me, email confirmation a couple weeks later, ADP sales administrator called me to discuss resume and to set up time with one on one interview with sales director, sales director in person interview, group interview in person with multiple sales directors. The in person interview went well, but they wanted someone more aggressive and experience with a quota requirement sales position. According to the sales director I was to meet again for a ride along and final interview, but I was notified via email that ADP will not be moving forward with my employment.

The next step was a 1 on 1 interview with the Sales Manager which went well. 3 days later I was contacted and offered the position and was scheduled to fill out paper work in the next 48 hours.

Difficult Interview
The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at ADP in March 2012.
Interview Details – I had a phone interview with the HR department which went really well. Then I had another interview with the VP of Sales in the Austin area that also went well and she referred me for a face to face interview in San Antonio. The HR lady that I had the first interview with then scheduled me for a whole day which was suppose to consist of an interview with two managers, then going out in the field with a sales rep and finally a role play/ask for job. I drove four hours for the interview and after the face to face interview they said thanks for coming in, we will get in touch with you. I told them I was confused because I had a whole day set up and they said I wasn't scheduled for anything else. I then called the HR lady to figure out what had happened and never got a response. I then got a rejection letter the next week. The whole thing was very unorganized and very unprofesssional.

Mom's Celery Seed Brisket Recipe
Warning: Keep a close eye on this tangy pot of goodness; it's been fine-tuned to perfection and tends to vanish at gatherings. —Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho
- 1 fresh beef brisket (3 to 4 pounds)
- 1 can (28 ounces) Italian crushed tomatoes
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- Cut brisket in half; place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, brown sugar, celery seed, pepper, salt, cumin and Liquid Smoke. Pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.
- Remove meat to a serving platter; keep warm. In a large saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir in 4 cups cooking liquid. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice brisket across the grain; serve with gravy. Yield: 8 servings.
Editor's Note: This is a fresh beef brisket, not corned beef.

I flollowed recipe exactly. My husband and I both thought it was very bland. A waste of a brisket. I threw away the sauce, doctored up the leftovers and had French dips the 2nd night.
Reviewed Jan. 17, 2012
The brisket seemed kind of expensive but it was well worth it. Meat was very tender and the tomato beef gravy over the top of it was out of this world. Delicious with a capital D. Made a ton of gravy compared to the amount of meat I had though. Will definitely make this again! Followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn't change a thing.
Reviewed Aug. 30, 2011
This was really good. I didn't have a brisket in the freezer so I used a round roast - and fire roasted diced tomatoes in lieu of Italian crushed. There were absolutely NO leftovers - big hit with the family.

Tips on Redecorating Rooms, Credit Cards, Keeping in Touch and More
NEW YORK (Aug 29, 2012)
Your high school graduate is off to college to embark on a newly independent life. But they're not the only one making a transition: parents too face emotional and lifestyle adjustments. With advice on empty-nest syndrome and the college transition, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital physicians offer expert tips for parents and children on topics including redecorating your child's room, credit cards, keeping in touch and more.
"For your college-bound child, the goal is transitioning them into greater independence and responsibility. If you're a so-called 'helicopter parent' who micromanages your child's life, now's the time to land," says Dr. Karen Soren, director of adolescent health services at NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital and associate clinical professor of pediatrics and public health at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. "Even before they go away, give your child more freedom, while your direct oversight is still possible."
"It's normal to experience some sense of sadness or loss when your child goes away for college. It's also common for children to feel homesick even though they may have been excited to go away to college," says Dr. John Walkup, director of child and adolescent psychiatry at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. "Parents should spend more time with each other and with friends, and when they get that homesick call from their child, parents should encourage them to get involved in campus activities. Your child should know that you will always be there to listen, but that it is important to make new friends and acclimate to this new environment."
Drs. Walkup and Soren offer more tips on making the college transition easier:
- Keep in touch, but don't overdo it. When your child goes away to school, it may be an opportunity to develop a different kind of relationship. Recognize that their new independence is an important step.
- The Sunday night phone call is no longer the norm. Intermittent cell phone calls, text messages and e-mails are now common.
- Children appreciate a space of their own when they come home to visit. Try to keep your child's room intact for awhile. Parents often redecorate and reclaim some space, but ask your child first. See if you can give them another space to call their own.
- Educate yourself on the school's policies toward drinking and other rules. Talk to your child about their responsibilities and their safety. Problems like binge drinking start as early as the first weeks of school.
- Talk to your child about money. Come to an understanding about who is paying for tuition, books, clothing, travel, phone, etc. Discuss whether they will take a part-time job or use a credit card (credit card companies aggressively market to college students).
- Read everything that the school sends you. Stay informed. And, if there's a parents' visiting day, go.
- If parent or child has prolonged difficulty adjusting, they should seek professional evaluation.

Robi Andison's fourth-grade class performed two skits during the Jan. 13 assembly; one was in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his efforts during the Civil Rights Movement and the other was from a book titled "The Hundred Dresses" by Eleanor Estes. In the story, Wanda Petronski tells classmates she has a hundred dresses of all varieties in her closet at home, but she always wears the same old worn-out blue dress to school. The teasing from her classmates that follows seems harmless, but it's not. This story explores the hurt that comes from thoughtless words and offers a painful, but heart-warming lesson in forgiveness. The students did an excellent job of bringing the story alive through scripting and choreography for the Helen Haller student body.

Sheri Suryan's fifth-graders got a lesson in history by each choosing a historical figure to write a report on and then portraying their project person for an interactive presentation. Other students were invited to visit the classroom on presentation day and were encouraged to ask questions of the costumed students about what they had learned.

I just woke up and I'm bursting with colors. I am purple, blue, orange, yellow, and pink. Yellow for my happiness, blue for when I'm sad, and orange for when I'm mad. I am sad because I'm lonely. I hope the sun comes soon. He's halfway here. I can't wait! He got here!! We talked for eight hours. I'm happy now that I have a friend.
— Michael Young
I'm a red sun waking up, listening to the birds singing, watching the animals wake up. It's really fun making the black, cold night turn into a beautiful warm day.
Making the black night turn into blue sky. Watching the kids play all day outside. Watching all of the buses go to lots of houses then to one school. Watching all the planes go all over the world. The best thing to watch is everyone having fun. The End
— Asia Thomas
"About the Sky"
When I am a sky, I feel cool because I can see all the people all around the world. I can see the moon, my house, parks, slides, swing sets, and that's all I can think of being a sky. One more thing before I go: I can see you. Also, good night to you. People who are still awake: go to bed!
— Braden Braden
It's a fall evening. I'm a sun that's about to go to bed. I don't feel lonely at all with all the friends I met-like the sky, the clouds, the planes, the birds, and the wind carrying leaves. When I look down, I see a tree on a hill with leaves falling down because it's fall. I also see the greenest grass I've ever seen. I'm filled with joy. I shine so bright I can blind someone. My friend sky is very colorful like the leaves that pass by every now and then. I hear children's laughter passing by.
— Chloe Roberts
"Good Morning"
My idea is that in the morning, I am colorful like orange, pink, blue, and purple and it is really colorful, but in the afternoon it is just all blue but at night time it is just all black with stars and I am very lonely and I hope the sun comes out. If it doesn't, I hope the tree wakes up because I am so bored. It just might not be a nice day out for the tree. The tree must feel sad because it has no leaves and he likes to stay warm and the sun might come out tomorrow because he knows when to come out because he probably likes to sleep in for the next day.
— Kiana Robideau
"If I were the Sky"
If I were the sky, I would probably feel lonely. I would change my colors. I would watch the sun rise in the mornings and I would watch the sun go down at dawn if I were the sky. I would watch the birds go by and airplanes go by if I were the sky. I would watch all the children playing down below.
If I were the sky I would feel the wind blow in a different way. I would turn black at night and turn blue the next morning. I would turn dark at night and then I will become light. I would listen to the birds in the morning. I would hear them singing and I would talk with the sun every day, so I wasn't lonely when the sun was up. When he went down, I got really lonely because I had nobody to talk to but all I could do was listen to the birds go to sleep.
I can make myself make different animals and stuff. At night I would go to sleep by watching the stars twinkling and I would watch the white moon just shine. I would watch spring go to winter and I would watch lots of rain fall in the spring and I would watch the white snow fall in the winter.
— Skye Henning
Hi. I'm tree. My leaves blow off at fall in new ones come in spring. In the spring, birds come back and land on me because baby birds are born in the spring. In the fall, they leave again and now I talk to the sky, sun, and old grass. Next spring, I can see the birds have chicks again, but this time the baby this year is going to have kids.
— Emma Watson
I am the sky. I change colors all the time. My colors are purple, pink, blue, yellow, and a tint of gray. Soft clouds pass through me. Fast bald eagles soar through me. I am happy to be who I am.
— Jackson Bush

BOSTON (AP) — The Toronto Maple Leafs knew they had to play more aggressively after a weak performance in the opener.
They wasted little time doing it.
They outhit the Boston Bruins in the first period, Joffrey Lupul scored two goals in the second and they won 4-2 on Saturday night to even the playoffs series at one game.
''It was two strong teams playing against each other,'' Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk said. ''We had to work really hard to get some bounces and we got some bounces tonight.''
In the Bruins' 4-1 win on Wednesday night, they outshot the Maple Leafs 40-20 and applied pressure that gave Toronto trouble clearing the puck out of its zone to start its offense.
But on Saturday night, Toronto had several 3-on-2 and 2-on-1 rushes.
The Maple Leafs also delivered 22 hits in the first period to just 10 for Boston.
''We didn't answer enough,'' Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg said. ''We were the ones in the first game that initiated and it was them this time and we just didn't respond the way we're supposed to.''
Nathan Horton gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 1:56 of the second period, but Lupul scored at 5:18 on a power play and at 11:56 with the teams at even strength.
Phil Kessel made it 3-1 on a breakaway 53 seconds into the third period. Johnny Boychuk cut the lead at 10:35 before van Riemsdyk scored at 16:53.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven playoff series is Monday night in Toronto.
The Bruins played without Andrew Ference, part of their second defensive pairing, after the NHL suspended him for one game for elbowing Mikhail Grabovski in the head in the first period of the opener.
''You miss a veteran like that, but that wasn't the reason we lost,'' Bruins coach Claude Julien said. ''We lost as a team.''
The Maple Leafs also were missing a defenseman. Michael Kostka was out after breaking a finger in the first game. He was replaced by Jake Gardiner, who assisted on Lupul's first goal.
And they had lost five of their previous seven games.
''There was some doubt and tonight eliminated that doubt,'' Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said. ''We can go out there and compete.''
It just took one bad game for the Maple Leafs, who have 15 players on their roster who hadn't been in the playoffs before, to get a feel for how the intensity increases.
''I think it helped for some getting those jitters out in that first game,'' van Riemsdyk said. ''We did a good job of executing some things a little bit better.''
Lupul had scored 11 goals in 16 games in the regular season. He missed 32 — two on a suspension, five with a concussion and 25 with a broken forearm caused by a hard shot from teammate Dion Phaneuf.
Horton gave the Bruins the lead with his second goal of the series when he dropped the puck in the left circle for a trailing Milan Lucic then kept skating to the net. James Reimer stopped Lucic's shot, but the puck went off Horton's right skate and into the net.
Reimer finished with 39 saves for the Leafs.
Lupul tied the game just two seconds before Zdeno Chara was to leave the penalty box after being called for tripping. Gardiner fired a wrist shot from the left point, Tuukka Rask made the save, and Lupul put the rebound in on a short forehand shot.
Less than seven minutes later, Lupul got the go-ahead goal after Matt Frattin carried the puck deep along the right side then passed it across the slot where Lupul tipped it into the open left side of the net.
''It's good for me to get into a rhythm,'' Lupul said. ''No matter how we played in the first game, we were still down 1-0. We were able to refocus. It doesn't matter how you lose.''
Then Kessel, who led the Maple Leafs with 20 goals and 52 points, connected against the team he's struggled against since being traded to Toronto in September 2009.
He began the night with just three goals and six assists in 23 games against Boston. And he got his usual round of jeers from Bruins fans nearly every time he was on the ice.
But he provided a two-goal cushion when he raced behind Boston's defensemen, took a pass from Nazem Kadri past the red line and fired the puck between Rask's pads.
''It's not easy for him here. They boo him a lot,'' Lupul said. ''He's battling hard and they're putting a lot of attention on Phil. It's great to see him get one.''
And now the Maple Leafs will be playing in the first playoff game in Toronto in nine years.
''We're looking forward to going back home and having playoff hockey in Canada,'' Lupul said. ''We know it's been a while.''
Notes: Jeff Bauman, who lost both legs in the Boston Marathon bombings, went on the ice in a wheelchair before the game. He smiled, pumped his fist and waved a big Bruins flag while wearing the team's jersey. He had been photographed being taken to emergency medical treatment minutes after the explosions by Carlos Arredondo, who was wearing a cowboy hat, and others. ... Boston's Brad Marchand limped to the bench with about five minutes left in the second period and went out the runway toward his locker room. But he was back on the ice soon after. ... Toronto nearly scored 90 seconds before Lupul's second goal when Nikolai Kulemin's shot clanged off the post.

Wish you had sticky notes at that size with larger volume--it 100 sheets instead of just 50, so the giveaway looked more substantial. But it seems there are thin pads and big blocks, not much in-between. Excellent product. Excellent service (Erika Paraiso is fabulous!) Price was better than most I could find. Sales rep was easy to work with and communication was quick and friendly. Build and shipment time once the design was agreed on was very fast.

Braun came clean. he gave up $4 million and gets to collect $117 million. That is another reason to "come clean."
Pete Rose to PED cheaters: 'Come clean as quickly as you possibly can'
All-time MLB hits leader Pete Rose is still banned for life by baseball for gambling on games as the manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Even though he has filed for reinstatement on several occasions, the door to being back in baseball's good graces and the Hall of Fame is still shut.
Rose had some advice for suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun and others who are using performance enhancing drugs or being suspected of using.
"Come clean as quickly as you possibly can," Rose said to USA Today. "I guess Braun thought he was going to get away with it when he got off the hook the first time. I wish I could go around to all the spring training camps and talk to the young players about what happened to me.
VERDUCCI: Answering key questions in wake of Ryan Braun suspension
Rose has been banned since 1989 and says the most important thing to baseball people are the stats. He says eventually baseball will catch up to the cheaters.
"Braun's got to feel pretty fortunate to only get 65 games, because they're really cracking down on it," he said. "He did like I did. He disappointed a lot of people. Deceived a lot of people. And if you get anything out of it, I think the young players should take one thing away from it: Don't lie. All they have to do is watch what happened to me, and that would teach you, don't lie."
