Bra is the daughter of Vegito and Bulma in Universe 16. She has trained dilligently under her father, far more than her U18 self achieving the greater transformations of the Saiyan race. She trains hard and wants to become the strongest warrior in the entire universe.
Bra some what resembles her U18 counterpart. She wears a lavender sports bra and black gym shorts (which reveal quite a lot of her hips ), along with shoes that resemble the Saiyan armor Vegeta used to wear. Her training as a Saiyan warrioress has given her a toned body (and due to Saiyan physiology, she may remain like this for the remainder of her life), and while being more muscular than the other Bra, she rarely has more than a bored or irritated look on her face.
This Bra is notoriously harsh and violent; treating her enemies without the compassion of Gohan or Goku, and treating her own siblings with ounces of annoyance the same way Vegeta interacts with most of the Z-Warriors early on. Not much of her personality is shown outside of her training, she appears to be well-mannered around her father. The few times she has smiled have been in response to a battle. Violence seems to be her answer to situations where she is surprised or suffering loss; on at least two occasions, she reacted with violence towards an alien ambassador and another alien who had lost his way. As a SSJ2, Bra's reputation intensifies, though her rage is more characteristic than a spontaneous change caused by the transformation.
A scouter test proved that Bra was born with a power level higher than Broly's (10,000) with her own being 13,568. In her teen years, Bra has access to the Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 forms. Like her older half-brother Gohan, she enters a berserk state of mind while in the SSJ2 state. She has enough strength to kill Zangya without touching her and forcing her into a wall, was able to severaly harm a severely battle-damaged Vegito and her half-brother Gohan, and knows the same technique that Vegito used to eliminate Buu.
Interestingly, Vegito taught Bra how to perform Instant Transmission, but didn't bother to teach it to Gohan. Bra uses the technique to transport her brother and herself into deep space to assist their father against Buu.
Vegito's Heiresses
On the day Bra was born, she was almost dropped on her head by her father in her mother's delivery room and was saved only by Vegito's reckless Instant Transmission. This action was due to Vegito wanting to know Bra's infant power level which turned out to be above 10,000, higher than that of even Broly when he was a baby.
Bra spent years training under her father and with her half-niece/friend Son Pan. One of their training schedules involved the two of them going one lap around the entire Earth. Bra was brought to a planet at war with itself in order to non-lethally contain the situation, but her father's appearance thwarted the purpose of this training, and later he brought her to a planet where she was greeted by a visually-unappealing diplomat and violently assaulted him (with no evident repercussions, being the daughter of an ultra-powerful being).
Bra's first appearance is on page 60. She said nothing to anyone from Universe 18 and kept to herself until the death of her friend, Pan, at the hands of Bojack. She wanted to exact revenge for Pan's death, but backed off due to Gohan's actions and demand that they not risk Pan's resurrection at the end of the tournament. (On a cover page, however, Bra met her alternate U18 self early on with the rest of Universe 18, and wasn't impressed with her alternate self and believed that her life in Universe 18 was a waste.
After Vegito teleported away following his battle with Broly, Bra was perplexed by her father's request for assistance, but nevertheless she used Instant Transmission to send her brother and herself to Vegito's aid where he was fighting Buu in deep space, preventing him from absorbing a recently-incapacitated Broly.
Bra nearly costed the three their lives when she lost control as a SSJ2 and incapacitated Vegito and Gohan, until a timely invervention by the Vargas returned Broly to his universe and thwarted Buu's efforts, yet after another unnerving confrontation with Buu, Bra resumed participation in the tournament and was healed via Senzu Bean's and Piccolo's magical clothing-repair abilitity.
First Round: Bra's first fight was against Zangya and boy was it a killer. The first thing Zangya did was lay Pan's death on thick, making Bra snap in an instant agaisnt her resolution to win non-lethally. Bra accidentally killed Zangya with an air pressure attack that slammed her against a wall. Zangya may have avoided this fate if she hadn't gone so far, since prior to this Bra was warned by Vegito that he would withdraw her from the tournament if she acted in vengeance. Despite this apparent murder, Vegito forgave Bra for not intending to kill Zangya.
When Bojack was fighting Cell, he was blasted into Universe 16's area, much to Bra's delight. Bra attempted to attack the helpless Bojack, only for Vegetto to restrain her, though Bojack was still killed by Cell.
Second Round: She is slated to fight against Eleim in round 2. Because of her superior strength, she carries weighted clothes into the gravity ring, which she says that will help her training. Eleim, having to use his armor just to remain stable by the ring's higher gravity, attacks Bra with a gravity-increase device, which almost forced Bra into the ground by the new pressure. However, she managed to still be fast enough to use Instant Transmission and sneak from behind her enemy.
A Vision of the Future
In one of Bardock's visions, Bra warns Goku and Vegeta about her father's power and says that they cannot stop him and neither can anyone else.
Super Saiyan
Bra is able to transform into an incredibly powerful Super Saiyan, which she uses to fight Hyper Buu.
Super Saiyan 2
Bra is able to further transform into a Super Saiyan 2, in this form she is able to fight on par with the Hyper Buu.
Mystic Super Saiyan 5
Bra uses this form in the 30 Years After DBM minicomic, in this form she is able to defeat Majin Perfect Frieza in one hit. Bra also gains reality warping, the ability to transform people into ducks, revival of the dead, creation of clothes, and has the power to give people better mustaches. Of course this is not true, a satire to Dragon Ball GT and AF.
- Other than Trunks, Bra has appeared in the most of the manga covers of Multiverse.
- Bra, probably due to her warrior personality and a reference to her name, wears a lavender sports bra during most of her appearances.
- Bra dislikes her canon counterpart from universe 18, seeing the girls lack of interest in training and self absorbed attitude as a total waste. A similar feeling is shared by the other Bra.

Earl or Sandra Martin
Welcome to our cabin high atop the mountain. Sandra and I, plus our kids and Ginger our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever want you to have a great time just as we do when we get the chance to stay in our cabin.

So please enjoy your stay and hope you feel refreshed and rejuvenated like we do.

2009 Beaune, 1er Cru Clos du Roi, Domaine J & H Boillot(6x75cl)
A delicious mouthful of Pinot Noir. Ripe, rich, smoky black cherry, game, leather spice and mocha notes are evident in its detailed intricate personality. Long, smooth, persistent finish.
2011, Pinot Noir Rosé, Yealands(6x75cl)
Light salmon in colour with pretty and delicate notes of red berries and cream. The red berries continue on the palate with great texture and finishes with mouth-watering acidity.
2012 Pinot Noir Cahuil, Viña Leyda(6x75cl)
Pinot Noir Cahuil Vineyard is intense and with high complexity on the nose, with aromas of strawberries, red cherries and a hint of orange peel.
2010 Pinot Noir, Carrick Excelsior(6x75cl)
An intense nose showing floral aromatics, black cherries, plum and a touch of spice from the barrels providing a beautifully integrated wine.
The front palate is layered with dark fruits, oriental spice and complex savoury flavours which support the fine grained tannins. The intensity of the front palate cascades into a lingering seamless finish.
This is an intensely rich wine that will cellar until at least 2020.
2011 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, Domaine Jacques Prieur(6x75cl)
Well-focused, with toasty, smoky blackberry and blueberry aromas. Concentrated, fresh, fruity, succulent and spicy palate. Delicious, mouth-watering middle palate. Aftertaste showing fresh, beautifully rich, ripe, fine and digestible tannin. Incredible ageing potential but also unbelievably delicious when young.
2012 Pinot Noir Réserve, Trimbach(6x75cl)
The wine is light and herby on the palate with vibrant strawberry and cherry flavours. Round and structured, the more intense, vegetal characters will develop with bottle age in place of the primary red fruit flavours. The wine is medium bodied and has perfect, soft tannin. A classic expression of Alsace Pinot noir, traditionally served chilled.
2008 Beaune 1er Cru Les Theurons, Domaine Régis Rossignol Changarnier(12x75cl)
Transparent red colour. Musky, chocolaty fruit; slightly mature-smelling. Real development of fruit aroma in the glass over time. On the palate, sweet, delicate fruit, slightly gamey. Excellent length, subtle fruit, light tannin.
2010 St Aubin 1er Cru En Créot, Domaine Gilles Bouton(12x75cl)
Rather like a summer fruit pudding (+cream!) with its red berry fruit characteristics, supple, creamy texture and fresh acidity.
2011 Ferrous Pinot Noir, Kooyong(6x75cl)
A darker and more restrained nose than the Meres. Rather than a panoply of mixed fruits, this is more dense and complex, with smoked meats, blueberry, ironstone, black olive, and a touch of Chinese five spice. A singular style with an exciting range of flavours. Tannins are quite firm on the back palate at the moment, and will soften with age.
2012 Unravelled Pinot Noir, Carrick Winery(12x75cl)
Ripe berries and black cherries on the nose which transfer onto the palate with a hint of oak.
Finely balanced, fruit forward styled wine.

Liposuction may look like a quick fix for fat, but new information finds if you don't change your lifestyle, the pounds will come right back.
In a survey of 600 liposuction patients, those who didn't change their eating habits were three times more likely to regain the weight a year later. Those who didn't follow up with exercise were four times more likely to put the pounds back.
The study at UT's Southwestern Medical Center concludes that patients turning to liposuction really need a healthy diet and exercise to get the best results.

- A OPEN LETTER to UZIMON. (By UZIMON)
Dear UZIMON,
I hope dis letter finds you where you are at the moment. I really hope that as you read this letter you are also writing it, for I am doing the same. A wise man once said no matter where you go, there you are, and I think that is fuckery, precisely because it is so true sometimes all of the time. (mostly not always never) As you read this letter, as I write it, it becomes more and more clear that there is no way you can write it faster than I can read it. So let us write and read as one, as we once were and always have been, never to not be not. (Mostly always, not never)
I am writing us this open letter, not just because an "open letter" can make someone who is irrelvant instantly relevant again for an instantly relevant second before after the readers read, and then the person who wrote it is irrelevant, but because open letters were very relevant last month and we should always be on the cutting edge of relevance, because way more important than writing a good melody or having a wicked original bassline or trying to make people leave their troubles behind and all that fuckery, is to focus on relevance first and foremost. How do we do that? First, stop working on lyrics, stop trying to further develop your skills and take the long road, because someone who develops skills over time is irrelevant. You need to be focusing on things like putting pics of saurkraut and titties and someone else's 83 Chevy Impala on instagram like all the other relevant people, tweeting that you just went to Crossfit or Underwater Pre-Natal Soul Cycle and ending with a hashtag no one else uses like #boomtheprogram or #canIgetawhatwhat. You need to be figuring out what is current and relevant and then copying exactly that because orginality and doing what you enjoy just to make yourself happy have no relevent relevance. Sometimes I wonder if you wonder if I wonder whether we really want to be happy instead of be relevant in a world where relevance has so much relevance for a second! What di bloodclaat fuck?!
Don't you see? Can't you read? Are you still writing this? Ok, good. Let's keep it relevant. Write mi back an open letter to yourself and we'll go from there.

- Not as many amenities as RV sites, more suited for primitive camping

Quiet Valley Ranch Review
Probably most noted for its stake in hosting the annual Kerrville Folk Festival, Quiet Valley Ranch is an idyllic plot of land 9 mi south of Kerrville. Covering more than 50 acres of rugged Hill Country terrain, half the property is dedicated to the areas used for the festival, while the other half is used for tent and RV camping. The camp itself is fairly primitive compared to some of the other RV parks in town.

Contextual Analysis of the Stanford Room - Option #1
This assignment asks you to switch your attention from
spoken rhetoric and to turn your concentration to an analysis
of the arguments and goals revealed in art and artifacts, and also in the museum's organization and arrangement of the Stanford Room within the Cantor Museum.
Your task is to write a paper in which you analyze the way the overall arrangement and/or individual art objects found within the Stanford room argue for an interpretation of the Stanford family, and to analyze the way this arrangement and choice of artifacts impacts you as the audience. You will inform your analysis by reading and integrating the article about the Stanfords by Howe ( handout) , and also by referring to the Tompkins essay," A Visit to the Buffalo Bill Museum." You may also integrate quotes from the museum docent who will discuss with us the Stanford room and its organization and development .
The paper will include the following components:
Part I. Your original notes , taken as you study the room or
several objects in the room. In these notes, you will respond to the following questions:
What view of the Stanford family dominates in the room?
Which individual objects seem to grab your attention the most?
How do the individual written descriptions of one or two pieces of art describe the Stanfords?(Pick one person or one aspect of Stanford life to focus on
for your paper,and take detailed notes about the art and artifacts you will be discussing.)
How does the color and lighting impact your perception of Stanford
Which aspects of the Stanford family are stressed?
How are lighting and placement of objects used to highlight
objects or effects?
Which aspects of Stanford family history are missing ( see Howe)?
Do you find the room appealing, or not? Why ?
What dominant emotion do you carry away from this room?
Part II. Your 4-5 page typed essay, completing the task
outlined above by organizing your thoughts from your notes into
a coherent analysis with a clear thesis, clear topic sentences, vivid
descriptions, and accurate quotes from the two essays.
You will need to address two topics in the paper:
1.The overall impact of the Stanford room as a whole;
2. the impact of one part of the room, for example, the materials
about Jane Stanford; the materials concerning Leland Jr.; or
the presentation of Leland Stanford, Sr. You could also choose to
examine one topic more closely, such as the treatment of the railroad
or the representation of the trotting farm.
Your final paper will address this smaller collection within the context
of the entire Stanford Room, examining the arguments, biases, completeness or lack of completeness in the presentation of Stanford family history. ( See above)
Grading criteria:
I will be looking for:
• An interesting introduction and clear thesis
• Strong topic sentences which organize each paragraph around one main idea
• Evidence and direct quotations to back up each assertion
• Discussion of each point you make - your own analysis of each point
• Integration of both the Howe and Tompkins articles - direct quotes and analysis of their points integrated into your paper
• An interesting conclusion which uses concrete language and/or imagery while summarizing your points in interesting and original terms.

Why do children need to snack?
Started by OutForLunch , Jan 14 2013 10:11 PM

Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:11 PM
I don't remember when I was a child (makes me sound like an old lady!) having constant access to food like children these days seem to.At our mothers group as soon as we get to the park, normally at 930am, the food comes out. This may be fruit, biscuits, muffins, popcorn etc.Now my daughter will have only finished her breakfast at 8am and will be having lunch at 12-12.30pm. Surely she can manage until then with a piece of fruit and thats it?! This is what she has every day but trying to insist on this at mothers group when theres a stack of snacks is impossible! Its not just my friends Ive noticed all the children at the parks have constant snacks.So is it needed this continual buffet of snacks and is this why chidlren are becoming increasingly larger? Dieticians please feel free to answer me honestly!
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:15 PM
No idea.
Mine get 3 good meals and can have fruit in between if they are hungry. I make sure that every meal has a serve of protein in it, and that there is vegies at lunch and dinner. I don't do muffins, biscuits and all that crap. Maybe I am just mean. It seems my kids get enough "sometimes" food from every person we come into contact with that tries to feed them.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:17 PM
My kids are 10 and 13 and rarely snack! three meals a day here. Actually DS will skip breakfast if I let him on holidays/weekends.
If I brought out lollies/chocolates then of course they would happily eat them
We do eat dinner early though...
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:19 PM
I arrive at mothers group with a piece of fruit for my 2 kids and on the table are sweat biscuits, coloured pop corn, dorritos and junk. Then I am called a meany because I ask them to eat the fruit first!
Same at park...tiny teddies, corn things...
Thats all fine, but then the parents wonder why their kids wont eat at mealtimes???
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:20 PM
because at mother's group, everyone feels the pressure or need to contribute something to the group collective - hence the mountains of baked goods etc... So on those days kids eat stuff they would not normally get between meals.
My kids do need to snack between meals though, or they end up very hangry, but on days its just us, its something a lot more wholesome than on those sort of catchups.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:23 PM
You don't go to mothers' group every day do you? Why not let the kids have a treat once a week / fortnight / month?
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:24 PM

I am like this too. DD and DS have to eat their fruit. Just recently at mother's group I have started buying DD a smartie biscuit after she has eaten her fruit but she has to share the biscuit part (not the smartie's) with her brother.
For the few months prior to that we started a treat where we would have a coffee (babycino for her) and biscuit while her brother slept in his pram after we grocery shopped. He stopped sleeping just as she started asking to have it at mother's group instead, perfect timing and she gets one treat a week like that.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:26 PM
What age are we talking? My son needs a snack around 10ish then again around 2.30/3.00pm. He has fruit or yoghurt or rice cakes or cheese or muesli bar (wholegrain low sugar) or as a treat now and then a pikelet or a cheese/Bacon roll from bakers delight.
Jack eats fruit first he would live on it if I let him lol.

Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:27 PM
I think kids at certain ages (like maybe 18 months to 4yo) do often need to snack between meals - they are running around at a billion miles an hour and growing like crazy and they only have little stomachs, so need regular refueling. That being said, there is no reason why it need be anything more than fruit or yoghurt or something - no need to eat junk.
I remember DS went through a stage at about age 3 when after two hours he would have a blood sugar drop and go feral if I didn't feed him in that time.
It was similar to me in the first trimester - if I didn't eat every 2 to 2.5 hours then I would vomit! Different situation, but some bodies do need it at certain times.
Older kids not so much.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:27 PM
Well I know at 10 DS needs to snack, not on junk, or life is not worh living
But then I grew up on a farm and dad had 3 meals a day and Morning and afternoon tea every day of his life.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:29 PM
The play group I used to take my DD to was really good. It was only cut up fruit for a snack and its a great way for kids to encourage the kids to eat different fruits.
I don't take much notice of what other people feed their kids but even when there's a buffet full of crap, my kids aren't a that bothered when I say no junk.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:29 PM
Hey Im not against biscuits and cakes, occassionaly! No we go to mothers group once a week and catch up every other day with some of the group for swimming, park etc. There is always snacks though so I have said to my daughter to go play and if she is hungry to come to me. Once she is playing she never comes back for food but then some of the mums take food over to them! Its like a team effort to force feed my child snacks! She is a great eater, eats everything and is not fussy at all this is why i want her to continue good eating habits ie 3 meals a day, not too many treats but everything in moderation. A tiny teddy here and there is fine Im not THAT mean!
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:45 PM
My kids go nuts if they don't get a snack. They just can't wait that long between meals.
We have smaller meals, I guess.
I snack all day too - probably 6 or 7 small meals a day! Just a lifestyle thing, I guess.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:45 PM
So, ask the other mums not to feed your kids. I'm not seeing the huge issue. DS does snack. Not overly close to mealtimes, but he does. Generally fruit, yoghurt, rice crackers, the occasional biscuit.
He has a small stomach at his age, and tbh, it gives me a chance to have "morning tea" of coffee.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 10:45 PM
I agree OP. It isn't a morning tea or afternoon tea. That is completely normal.
It is the buffet of food which seems to be endless. The children drift up and away as if it some sort of alfresco cocktail party.
It isn't just happening in group settings. Some families come to my work and unpack numerous tupperware containers of snacks the minute they walk in the room. They booked the appointment, I'm not running late so why does the child need to eat right at the time that I'm meant to be looking at their tonsils? From the amount of spilled sultanas, dropped crackers and half eaten bananas in the bin (stinky) the kids aren't hungry so why the need for snacks?
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:00 PM
I do ask them not to give her a packet of biscuits, marshmallows, popcorn etc but like I say they still follow their children around force feedingvthem and trying to pop packets of snacks into my daughters hands! She will start kindergarten soon so it will cease to be an issue but I did wonder if it is normal as after today it just seemed a bit ridiculous!

I think at PG its just a special day each week where everyone brings food to share. Doesn't mean they are all offering smorgasbords of snacks everyday.
My DS is only 15 months old and I offer him food every couple of hours. He just doesn't have the attention span to sit and eat a proper meal. When I was only feeding him 3 meals a day he'd barely eat anything. The snacks he has are little, a piece of cheese, some apple slice, some grapes, a small amount of yoghurt (gasps EB), a piece of toast etc.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:22 PM
We have a casual roster for who brings morning tea (ie a text in the morning...."I'm bringing mt). Everyone brings fruit to share and then the special treat that someone has bought. So we don't get a buffet, but the kids (and Mum's) gets a special treat.
I know I struggle to go without a morning tea and afternoon tea snack. But we don't have a feast everyday - usually a piece of fruit and one other thing - cheese, biscuit, muffin, yoghurt etc. My food obsessed 7yo would be feral without it - but I think for him it's as much as the drop in sugar as anything.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:27 PM
I think it's like when adults get together, we drink and nibble. Certainly when friends come over, we offer food and drinks. Part of the social culture??
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:32 PM
Maybe for some of those kids that mid-morning snack is actually their lunch? I know with my DS1 (4yrs) he probably has 4 meals a day. Breakfast at home, then "lunch" (which others would call morning tea) when we are out, at around 11ish, it's snacky food as in lots of little things, but healthy (ish... stuff like fruit, veg sticks, a dip, a sandwich, sultanas etc)... then he has some more fruit or sandwich or crackers/avo/cheese etc around 3pm ish... and dinner at 6ish.
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:37 PM
Totally agree OP and it's something that bothers me everyday. I need to get a lot tougher with my kids who would snack all day most days!
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:53 PM
If my kids didn't snack they would pass out from hunger.
All 3 walk 20 mins or more to school, run around school all day, walk back home in the afternoon then spend a couple of hours dancing each day.
At school they do 30 minutes of daily fitness as well as sport.
Who cares if they snack as long as they get a balanced diet? I see this like breast feeding.. if they are hungry feed them..they are children not adults..
Posted 14 January 2013 - 11:54 PM
The only thing my boy's seem to need between meals is some fruit and water. Over the holidays they do seem to be snacking more but I think that's due to boredom mostly.
I remember when my son first started 3 year old kinder, they only went for 2.5 hours in the morning and we were told to send them with fruit and water so that's what I did. About halfway through the term I did kinder duty and I could not believe that every other child had a full lunch box of food. Stuff like muesli bars, cheese and crackers, popcorn,yoghurt etc I felt terrible that I had been depriving my son all those weeks while all the other kids had so much food. So while I still thought the piece of fruit was enough I did send him with a tub of yoghurt as well after that!
Posted 15 January 2013 - 05:27 AM
Because they are little and burn a lot of energy and are growing.
Things like playgroup are out of the norm in my opinion, so every now and then i am not fussed.
Usually a snack would be a piece of fruit or a little bit of yoghurt (omg EB suicide!) but i think people often get carried away with portion size amd type of foods being given as snacks. I allow my girls morning and afternoon tea, but its always quite small. They also get "dessert" after dinner each night which is another piece of fruit and a half cup of milk.
Posted 15 January 2013 - 05:33 AM
We didn't have morning/afternoon tea as children & I'm not a smacker. I wonder if that's why?
I gave my two morning/afternoon tea when they were little. If they're hungry after school they can make a sandwich or have fruit.
I see people packing snacks for every outing. A friend packs snacks when she takes her 7 year old to the gym crèche (during holidays).

Beekmantown rallies past Auburn, lands in state title game
UTICA — A season ago, the Beekmantown boys' hockey team squandered a two-goal lead and was on the wrong end of an overtime heartbreaker in the NYSPHSAA Division II semifinals.
The Eagles, however, were far from déjà vu at the Utica Memorial Auditorium Saturday.
After facing a one-goal deficit in the first period where they were outshot 10-2, No. 1 Beekmantown rallied from behind, getting two third-period goals from Kyle Bisonette and Nate Foster in a 2-1 defeat of No. 3 Auburn of Section III.
With the win, the Eagles (19-4-1) advance to the Division II state championship against No. 2 Webster Schroeder of Section V at 3:45 p.m.
"I said before we even came down here, 'Any great goal in life that you want to obtain, you're going to face challenges and adversities along the way. It's the team that handles those challenges and adversities the best that's going to come out the winner at the end of the game,'" Beekmantown coach Justin Frechette said. "We answered the bell. We made a few adjustments in the locker room systematically in what we were doing.
"At the end of the first period, they had a little momentum. I thought the second and third period, we came out and took it to them. The changes we made and the way those kids adjusted to the changes, they never quit. They kept that mentality for the full 45 minutes, and then we were able to close it out at the end."
The Maroons (17-8) got on the board first at 8:47 of the first period. Nick Netti, a senior forward, went uncovered in the low slot and beat goaltender Dustin Plumadore with a wrist shot upstairs.
"I think we were making some small mistakes," Foster said. "But I mean, credit to them, they're a good defensive team. We kept pressuring them, and we knew they would crack eventually. I think we saw them crack."
After being held scoreless by Auburn goaltender Brendan Entenmann for 32 minutes and 57 seconds, Bisonette broke through by going forehand-to-backhand all alone in front to tie the game at 1-all.
"We knew this goalie was good with his glove," Bisonette said. "We knew if we made him move, we could get it in there. It was a spur-of-the-moment move, going forehand-to-backhand."
Josh Barriere was credited with the lone assist on the tally.
Foster's game-winning marker, his 41st goal of the season, came four minutes and 20 seconds later. The senior captain scooped up a loose puck and lifted it over Entenmann on the glove side.
"I saw (Brandon) Buksa in front of the net there, and the puck just bounced out," Foster said. "I knew the goalie would be on it quick, so I had to get it quicker. Luckily, I was able to pull it to my backhand and go up top with it. It seemed like the puck was sitting there forever. It felt like a few seconds."
Frechette said he and the team had a good scouting report on Entenmann and that Bisonette and Foster executed to perfection.
"It was a great play by Kyle, and it changed the momentum of the game," Frechette said. "I thought we took it from there. I said before we went out for the third period, 'Big-time players want that moment.' The cream definitely rose to the top (Saturday). They stepped up and made the plays."
The Eagles were able to sustain enough pressure in the closing minutes to keep the puck out of their zone. The Maroons had an extra attacker on the ice for 10.6 seconds, but weren't able to capitalize.
Auburn led shots, 19-17, but Plumadore helped secure the victory by making point-blank saves on the doorstep.
"Dustin stands on his head," Bisonette said. "He can single-handedly win a game for us. He did that for us (Saturday). They were outshooting us in the first period, and he just stood on his head and made all the saves he had to make.
"He's been doing that for us all year. He's a senior goalie, and we know he wants to go out on top just as much as we do. We know he's going to come focused and ready to play."
Plumadore was credited with an 18-save performance. Entenmann stopped 15-of-17 shots faced between the pipes for the Maroons.
The top-two teams in the state will collide at 3:45 p.m. today. Webster Schroeder defeated Queensbury of Section II Saturday, 3-1.
"It's going to be a battle (Sunday)," Frechette said. "We've just got to come ready to play and play our game. You know, we're excited about the opportunity.
"I'd just like to thank the Beekmantown and Chazy communities for coming down (Saturday). I know (Sunday), if we can get as many fans as possible, it would be a great support system for our boys."

Washington gets federal warning on teacher evaluations
Washington state has been given what federal education officials say is a final extension on a deadline for bringing the way it evaluates teachers and principals up to federal standards.
The Associated Press
Federal education officials have told Washington and two other states they have not made good on promises to bring their teacher- and principal-evaluation systems up to federal standards, but have given the states an additional year to finish the work.
The new teacher-evaluation systems were part of the requirements for waivers from the federal law known as "No Child Left Behind."
If the states meet the requirements of the waiver, they won't need to have every child meet state academic standards in reading and math by January.
So far, 40 states and the District of Columbia have been granted a one- or two-year reprieve from the requirements of the law, which was passed more than a decade ago. A group of districts in California recently received a different kind of waiver from the requirements.
Washington and the two other states — Oregon and Kansas — had been placed on "high risk status" and were given until the end of the 2012-13 school year to fix the way to include improvement in student test scores as a factor in teacher evaluations.
According to letters from Assistant Secretary Deborah S. Delisle, dated Wednesday, they all failed to meet their original deadlines.
These three states were among 10 given conditional waivers, which means they have to fix some things before getting more permanent flexibility. Of the 10, five passed all their l conditions. Georgia and Arizona are still working on it.
Two other states that received their waivers more recently also will be closely watched over the next year to see if they meet some special conditions: Alabama and Hawaii. But the Department of Education says it is watching every state that has been given a waiver to make sure they are keeping their promises to reform their educational systems.
The letters sent this week gave the three states one more year to finish their education reform plans — an extension Delisle said would be their last one.
If they don't succeed, they may need to go back to the original federal rules that require every school and every district to meet a group of benchmarks for kids in various ethnic and economic groups.
"No Child Left Behind," also known as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, came up for renewal in 2007 but its requirements have yet to be updated by Congress.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan has pushed lawmakers to revisit the law and started the waiver program as a temporary measure. The House and Senate have been working on competing rewrites of the law.

Coalition formation: the role of procedure and policy flexibility
AbstractA spatial model of coalition formation is used together with data from Dutch elections and theoretical instances to study different procedures of coalition formation. The model shows that procedure plays an important role in reaching a coalition agreement and that political parties do not necessarily benefit from being a first-mover. Moreover, it is shown that a decrease in a party's flexibility can be (dis)advantageous in coalition negotiations. Furthermore, certain power sharing tactics appear not always to lead to an agreement that is in a party's advantage. The main message put forward is that the procedure of forming a coalition plays a more important role than is usually acknowledged in literature and practice.

On my cutting board, I discovered them,
the tiniest of ants, roaming dots of lead.
At first, they were too few to classify, hiding
under crumbs, these scavengers of leftovers.
Admiring their labor, I immediately granted them
citizenship, these tailgaters of a kitchen's routines.
In Miami, I had no stove, working far from my home.
My wife was a midnight call to San Bernardino.
While searching for crumbs, especially for
the taste of apricot jelly, they fell into a line
across my cutting board; I saw it again,
saw the line my sixth-grade teacher drew
on the board, pointing to each end.
While he planted himself on his desk, he leaned
his face toward us, telling us in a low voice:
"You don't see it yet, you're too young
still, but that line in front of you continues
infinitely on either side. And if there is
the slightest slope in that line, either way,
it will slowly begin to sag, then curve and veer
and eventually one end will find the other.
And lines, lines are never perfect, they are
like us, never completely straight. So just
imagine the searching that goes on all
around us, every day. And to happen on
that union is really to witness the most earthly
of forms you'll ever get to know. If you're lucky,
you'll see that, even luckier if you're part
of that union."
