Snow Hill, Moor Street, New Street
Greetings. I've had a nice few days doing EMS, even if I spend most of my day shoveling poop and walking past scary German shepard dogs. I officially want a dog of my own, although weighing the pros and cons I know that wouldn't be the wisest things to do.
Here's what the facility looks like:
I haven't taken many pictures of the kennels, but they're quite nice: every dog has an indoor space with a bed where they are fed, and a hatch that opens to an individual run. Although it would be nice if they got a bit more exercise, they all seem quite content, and the long-termers are taken for walks in the field behind the kennels.
Some of the owners dropped them off with wrapped presents for Christmas day, so one of the kennel assistants walked around the different blocks and opened the various chew-toys and packets of treats. It's all quite sweet, even if the dog don't care that they now have a tartan rope toy.
The catterys (catteries?) are also nice: they've just been re-done and are very spacious. Every unit has at least one level for the cats to jump on and corners for the more timid ones to hide. There is an occicat that is so loud you would think it's in heat, while its companion, a blue British Shorthair, barely budges from its bed and stares blankly at the world. But my favorite cat to watch is Ziggy, the Siamese. I initially thought he was evil, because his eyes would flash yellow, but then after I nervously picked him up and set him on the ground so I could clean his upper level, he climbed up and would not leave me alone. He kept purring and rubbing against me and reminded me that male cats are much more affectionate than people give them credit for.
Today I had a day off, and I arranged with an old University friend to meet-up in Birmingham. After a few bumps in my journey that led to me arriving 40 minutes late, we found each other and walked around the Bullmarket, which is a huge shopping centre. I tried desperately to find her some cheap-o Uggs rip-offs at Primark (like the UK equivalent of Target, which is not available in Edinburgh) but I was unsuccessful. I did buy a pair of socks to warm up my ice-cold feet and a FIsherman's scarf for £3 at Primark that is thick and warm and snuggly, but I wish my new loan cheque was in so that I could take advantage of the post-Christmas sales. Shame.
It's back to work for me tomorrow. The weather is in the low to mid-30's F and there is a chance of snow on Saturday, and it's actually colder than Edinburgh. I live for a hot mug of tea on my fingers during my breaks. And watching the television in bed in the evening!


text: Predicting Reactions Presented by Mr. Mark Langella AP Chemistry Instructor College Board Consultant Why do the reactions occur? Gibbs Free Energy drives the Spontaneous reactions Lower PE energy Formation of Stronger Bonds Greater Entropy ( Formation of Gases) Solubility Formation Constant Ways of Expressing CHEMICAL EQUATIONS Word equation Inword equations, the names of the reactants and products are written out. The following example is a word equation: carbon + oxygen carbon dioxide Formula equations Formula equations consist of formulas substituted for the names in the word equation. The reaction above becomes C + O2 CO2 Ionic equations In ionic equations, all water soluble compounds in an aqueous solution are separated into ions. 2NaI(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) 2NaNO3(aq) + PbI2(s) 2Na+(aq) + 2I-(aq) + Pb2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + PbI2(s) Spectator ions - Spectator ions do not participate in the chemical reaction. That is, they are identical on both sides of the equation. Net ionic equations The net ionic equation contains all of the particles in the ionic equation less any spectator ions. 2Na+(aq) + 2I-(aq) + Pb2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) 2Na+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + PbI2(s) Pb2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) PbI2(s) Balancing We were reminded (especially by the combustion reaction above) that the coefficients used for balancing should be the lowest possible WHOLE NUMBER coefficients. All other rules for the balanced equations are the same - omit spectator ions, assume a reaction occurs, write the formulas for molecular compounds (e.g. HF) as undissociated species in solution, etc. Synthesis or Combination Reactions In synthesis or combination reactions, two or more substances combine together to form a single product. The general form is A + B C The products must contain only those elements found in the reactants.

MHCO3 MO + H2O + CO2 http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/gro up1/compounds.html Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is Solid strongly heated Heating the nitrates Most nitrates tend to decompose on heating to give the metal oxide, brown fumes of nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen. For example, a typical Group 2 nitrate like magnesium nitrate decomposes like this: 2 Mg(NO3)2 = 2 MgO + 2 NO2 + 3 O2 In Group 1, lithium nitrate behaves in the same way - producing lithium oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. The rest of the Groups, however, don't decompose so completely (at least not at Bunsen temperatures) - producing the metal nitrite and oxygen, but no nitrogen dioxide.

Prepare only as much solution as you need to the activity in working fume hood to avoid unnecessary exposure to bromine vapor. There is no need to store the bromine water since it is easily prepared. It may also be helpful to mix the solutions in a clear glass bottle allowing your students to view the color of elemental bromine. Discussion: Since the solubility of bromine in water at 25EC is 0.214 moles/liter , a saturated aqueous bromine solution can easily be prepared as needed by mixing equal volumes of a 1.28 M sodium or potassium bromide solution, a 1.28 M hydrochloric acid solution, and common household bleach. The three reagents react according to the equation: The reaction between bleach and hydrochloric acid produces elemental chlorine which then will replace the bromine in sodium bromide producing bromine and sodium chloride. A saturated solution of aqueous chlorine can be prepared in the same fashion. To prepare 100 ml a saturated aqueous solution of chlorine, mix 1.5 ml of concentrated HCl with 13 ml of bleach in 84 ml of water. The solubility of chlorine at 25EC is 0.092 M (2) 2007 Question Special Red-ox Reactions Hydrogen reacts with hot metallic oxide to produce the elemental metal and water Hydrogen gas is passed over hot iron(II) oxide powder Oxygen react with Metal Sulfides to produce Metallic Oxides and Sulfur Dioxide Copper reacts with Concentrated Sulfuric Acid Cu + 2 H2SO4 CuSO4+SO2+2 H2O Copper Reacts with Concentrated Nitric Acid 3Cu + 8HNO3 Cu(NO3)2+ NO + 4H2O Typical Reactions Oxidation States of Manganese Procedure Place 10 ml of a Water into Four Graduated Cylinders Place one tablet #1 into each Cylinder .01 M KMnO4 solution is in four small cylinders labeled A , B, N ( Place Tablet 1/10 ml water) To Flask A, Add 10 ml of 3M H2SO4 MnO4- + H+ To Flask B, add 10 ml of 5 M NaOH.

School Official Heard Claiming Constitutional Rights Don't Apply
For a lot of high school students, the Constitution is about as dry a subject as you can get. But not for some kids in Boca Raton, FL.
Students at the Spanish River High School in this Miami suburb show an interest in Constitutional rights — especially when they are taken away right under their noses. Members of the American Club there were surprised that Christian speaker/musician Bradlee Dean was kicked off of their school's property over Dean's conservative views, even though Dean had been invited weeks before under the approval of the school's administration.
Advertisement-content continues below
"I was surprised that a teacher … or someone who worked at the school, was telling the students that we're not supposed to uphold the Constitutional values given by our Founding Fathers while on school property," a student said after Dean was kicked off school property. The student's comments are recorded on a YouTube video chronicling the incident:
Exiled to the roadside
This is the kind of student most teachers want — someone who is passionately interested in the subject. The other students in the club were no doubt just as fascinated, as they sat on the grass afterwards just off the school property to hear Dean's talk.
Advertisement-content continues below
But Dean's talk was too politically incorrect, in the eyes of Principal William Latson and his cohorts at Spanish River. Latson ignored the fact that Dean had been invited by the school's club (which has invited other conservative speakers, including entertainer Victoria Jackson) and that Dean's appearance was approved and announced on the school's PA system that week.
"Controversial" and "Anti-Homosexuality"
Halfway through the event, it was shut down by the principal, who cited "controversial statements" and the "anti-homosexuality" of Dean's group "Sons of Liberty." (Disclosure: Sons of Liberty is a client of our firm, TreeFrogClick.) One official told the group that the Constitution "does not apply to school property," and that neither the Club nor the speakers had any First Amendment rights.
What? The Constitution does not apply to public school property, and First Amendment rights are squashed? Sounds like these school officials have put their institution in the same category as a prison, or a school in a communist country.
And anyone who believes in traditional morality, such that homosexual acts are inherently disordered — runs the risk of being trotted off school grounds.
Dismantle Beliefs
To make it clear, America, most public schools — or should I say government schools — are doing their utmost to dismantle students' beliefs that families should be led by a mom and dad, and not by two men or two women who are sexually involved with one another. If you aren't sure what's going on, find out what kind of sex education, field trips to Planned Parenthood, and "anti-bullying" programs that are a mask for the homosexual agenda are going on at your school.

The business executive was told by his doctor that he had a heart condition. On the same day he was advised by mail that if he didn't meet a heavy mortgage payment, his home would be seized. Driving nervously down the highway in a new car on which five payments were due, he rammed into the compact car of one of his best customers and made a sardine can out of it. Continuing to his office, he arrived at the factory just as the firemen were watering down the hot embers. There his book-keeper handed him a note informing him that all his insurance policies had lapsed.
Disgusted, he took a cab home, walked slowly into the living room and was greeted cheerfully by his wife. "Darling," she said enthusiastically, "I hope you'll forgive me but I must run; tonight is my bridge night."
"Just give me a chance to change my shirt," answered the husband, "and I'll jump with you!"
Her bridge night. But how can it mean the same thing to the husband? In that state it cannot mean the same. You speak the same words but still you convey different meanings. The meaning is given by the mind. The word is an outside thing, the meaning is an inside thing.
Because of the fog, the plane was in serious trouble. All the passengers were numb with fear, except the minister aboard. He took complete control of the situation.
"Let us kneel and pray," he suggested to the passengers, and everyone kneeled except a small-time bookie.
"Why aren't you praying with us?" asked the minister.
"Because," confessed the bookie, "I don't know how."
"In that case," the minister advised, "just behave as though you were in a church."
So the bookie went down the aisle and took up a collection.
That is the only thing the bookie can understand, that is the only thing he would become interested in in a church.
Remember always that it is you who comes through loud and clear in your questions. I am not much interested in how they are worded, in how they are formulated. I seek for you, I grope for you in your question and unless I have got hold of you I don't answer because then it is meaningless.
Don't feel jealous of Gramya. It seems that Ananda Prem has become jealous of Gramya. That again shows her mind. Rather than understanding what I have said to her she is more worried about why I have answered Gramya so lovingly and her not so lovingly. She was not so interested in the answer, she was more interested in love being shown to her. That again shows her mind.

Forced-air systems and heat pumps have filters screen out impurities. Choose a high-quality filter, and change or wash it at least several times a year; depending on local conditions and the type of system, you may need to replace or clean it monthly during the winter.

Open Source Autos Hit the Streets in Spain
ScuttleMonkey posted more than 9 years ago | from the racing-at-slow-speeds dept.110
markdowling writes "BBC News has a story about electrically powered tourist cars in Cordoba which provide tourist information in French, English and Spanish as landmarks are passed. The promoter, Alfredo Romeo, calls them Blobjects which he heard described in a speech by Bruce Sterling. The car's tourist guide software is open source - Romeo's quoted reason: 'With proprietary software, innovation comes from the people in marketing. But with open source, innovation comes from the guy who is really in the market. It comes from someone who knows the city.'"

Jaume Plensa lands four new heads in Chicago's Millennium Park
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Chris Bentley.
Barcelona-based artist Jaume Plensa said the first thing he does after checking into his hotel during stays in Chicago is drop by Crown Fountain, the digital waterwork that features human faces spitting water, just to make sure his popular downtown installation really exists.
"Sometimes I think it was just a beautiful dream I had 10 years ago," Plensa said at a press conference Tuesday. Millennium Park, which turns ten years old in 2014, counts Plensa's whimsical fountains among its more popular installations. A new piece of his, on loan from the artist through the end of 2015, attempts to build on that momentum.

Art installation wraps up Cleveland Public Library garden with 15,000 feet of rope

Cleveland approves neighborhood plans to bring new life to first ring suburbs
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
The Editors.
The Cleveland neighborhoods of Kinsman, Duck Island, and West 65th Street could eventually get major updates now that three new plans have won unanimous approval from the city's planning commission. All three neighborhoods were built when Cleveland's industrial heyday propelled a boom of real estate development that has long since given way to depopulation. In Kinsman, on the city's far East Side, the plan proposed creating an arts and entertainment district. The Duck Island plan focused on multi-modal transportation hubs, and the plan focusing on the West 65th Street neighborhood called for a two-mile multi-purpose trail. Funding for most of the work is still undetermined, but the city has committed some money for bike lanes, curb extensions, and other local improvements already called for in the three plans.
Ahoy! Chicago entrepreneur wants to park a floating pool in Lake Michigan
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Chris Bentley.
Party boats are common in Lake Michigan off the shores of Chicago's more well to do neighborhoods. But local entrepreneur Beau D'Arcy wants to corner that market with Breakwater Chicago—a floating club and leisure destination anchored in the city's downtown harbor year-round. The 33-year-old engineer told the Chicago Tribune he's hoping to create the city's "next Bean," referencing Millennium Park's Cloud Gate sculpture.
"Living" skin lands HOK designers first place in Chicago Living Building Challenge competition
Thursday, June 5, 2014
Chris Bentley.
With a "living" skin of bimetallic strips, four HOK architects have won a Chicago Living Building Challenge competition to design an addition for a school on Chicago's Southwest Side.
The 2014 School Annex Design Competition, organized by the Living Building Challenge Collaborative: Chicago (LBCCC), asked entrants to design a new building for overcrowded Eli Whitney Elementary School while meeting the strict environmental standards of the Living Building Challenge, which include omitting a long list of banned building materials.
Chicago's Divvy bike share program gets a corporate sponsor
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
The Editors.
Divvy, Chicago's bike share program, just sold the moving ad space of some 3,000 bicycles that have traveled 2.5 million miles since the system launched nine months ago. Illinois' largest health insurance company, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, paid $12.5 million to sponsor Divvy and brand its blue bikes and vans with their corporate logo beginning in June. The Chicago Tribune reported that the highest bidder was Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, which has also sponsored several other bikeshare systems in recent years, starting in Minneapolis. The health insurance company will pay $2.5 million each year through 2018—revenue the city will use to expand Divvy and fund bicycling projects throughout the city.
Eavesdrop> Block Party: Chicago Design Museum Finds New Home in Downtown Chicago Mall
Monday, June 2, 2014
The Editors.
Just last month Eaves dropped in on the Chicago Design Museum for the launch of its Kickstarter campaign, which sought funding for the institution's first summer exhibition in a new permanent space. Well, that space has been revealed, and it's every Chicagoan's favorite downtown boondoggle. No, not the Spire. Or the Post Office. Never mind—it's Block Thirty Seven! That's right, it turns out the largely vacant downtown mall has 5,000 square feet free for ChiDM (and probably a lot more). A good chance to remind yourself that the building's still there, looming above the Red Line-Blue Line transfer.

"Candicato" takes the Mexican elections by storm
Mexicans go to the polls this Sunday to elect mayors and congress members. But many candidates are facing stiff competition from the champions of the social networks, namely a dog, a donkey and a cat called Morris. The cat candidate, or 'Candigato' is running high in the polls in Xalapa, with three times as much online support ruling party's candidate. Although Morris is not officially registered as a candidate, his popularity shows just how disillusioned voters have become with politicians.

Yesterday, a group of ex-Remploy workers occupied the Leicester HQ of their former employers.
From Tuesday next week, disabled workers will begin a four-day strike at Remploy's plants in Chesterfield and Springburn, Glasgow.
Last week, 25 factories shut and the remaining 29 face an uncertain future.
Another 2 are due to close by the end of the year, 18 are to close or be sold next year and another 9 are in limbo.
Yesterday's occupation ended after 4 hours when Disability Minister Maria Miller agreed to urgent talks about the timetable of closures.
Next week's strikes in Chesterfield and Springburn are to defend pension entitlements following any privatisation.
GMB national officer Phil Davies said: "Members are concerned that no information about three potential buyers has been given to them. The DWP has removed the obligation for a new employer to provide a pension. We understand that all three potential buyers may want to make redundancies based on the individual disability.""
Activists in Chesterfield and Glasgow should bring donations and banners to their picket lines.
Right To Work will pass on any messages of support for Remploy strikers.

Subject: Dinner?
As we're organizing the last dinner with supporters on my last campaign, our kind of politics is running up against a very cynical calculation:
That a few billionaires writing $10 million checks are enough to overpower the voices of millions of Americans.
That's why I want to meet you for dinner.
Donate $19 or whatever you can to our people-powered campaign, and be automatically entered to join me — hotel and airfare covered for you and a guest.
Overnight, we aren't going to change the rules that allow outside groups to spend hundreds of millions of dollars attacking me on the airwaves.
So we have to stay on the case every day.
Last week we learned that more than 1.1 million donors in August alone — out of more than 3 million people like you supporting this effort — had outraised Mitt Romney and the Republicans for the first time since April.
If we keep doing this our way, I guarantee you there'll be no stopping us.
Donate $19 or whatever you can today and you'll be automatically entered to be at the table.
P.S. — If you're planning on donating to this campaign at some point in the future, don't wait. Your grassroots donation means more today because it can be put to work right now, building the organization it will take to win. Exactly 47 days to go.

The Pool is a group of publishers (MSN, Hulu, CBS) and advertisers who have been corralled by Vivaki – the Publicis enterprise. Their aims are to figure out how video advertising can be standardised across multiple platforms and how the process can be streamlined. Without doubt their aims are worthy, media agencies and publishers alike want this market to grow and to be successful, is this the best mechanism for achieving that? Well that rather depends on how much other agency groups will sit up and take notice of what they are doing. After all if Vivaki do create some 'standards' how much notice will Omnicom, Group M or Aegis take of them?
The Internet Advertising Bureau has been working with technology providers, publishers and agencies to define the Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) and the Video Player Ad Interface Definition (VPAID), these standards are designed to make it easy for agencies to buy across multiple publishers. The second version of the VAST standard is already under discussion which should hopefully formalise some of the woollier areas of the first attempt. If the technology providers such as DoubleClick, Eyewonder, Eyeblaster et al can help the publishers that they work with to adopt the standards then this should naturally lubricate the market.
Of course the Pool has one advantage over the IAB's efforts. Vivaki buys advertising space and therefore has some teeth with which to persuade the relevant parties to get involved and to collaborate on developing the formats and standards that will make life easier for the advertisers. The IAB relies upon the musketeer attitude of all for one and one for all in the hope that those involved see the value of making the market grow.
How it will all pan out remains to be seen but the general direction of these efforts is a positive one.

Wisdom from the Psalms 12/7
Psalms 142:7
Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
Mikhail was released after seven years in prison. Because of his political views, he had been detained in a small cell, isolated from the other prisoners. His only human contact had been with his jailer, who brought him food once a day. Walking into the sunlight, Mikhail lifted his head skyward, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he began praising God. Many thought he had gone mad in captivity, but others knew that he was merely giving thanks to the one who had sustained him through his imprisonment.

"Personalization was not a challenge for this beautiful card. My only reservation was that the scripture that framed the image was very tiny and slightly hard to read. It's a beautiful verse and the entire reason I selected the card - wish it would appear just a tad larger..."
"The card was perfect for my daughters christening invite. The paper itself wasn't cheap feeling. It was nice and thick and seemed more expensive then it was."
"Such a beautiful little invite. I've received many compliments. We are having a late spring backyard party after my daughter is Christened and this invitation was the perfect way to set the tone. Just lovely."
"This card was perfect except that it had no religious symbol on it. The design team was able to add a cross instead of the initial. The team member was extremely helpful. Turned out perfect!"

Lin, Howard upset by previous loss to Lakers
Howard says first Lakers loss bothers him
Normally when two teams meet for the second time in the regular season, one of the two teams is obviously disappointed with the first game.
When the Rockets meet the Lakers on Wednesday night at Toyota Center for the second time, it's the Rockets that will be that disappointed team. Los Angeles handed the Rockets one of their many early season losses, they wish they could have back.
They actually lost to Los Angeles three times in the first two weeks of the season. Two of those losses were one-sided defeats against the other team from Los Angeles, the Clippers. Houston's loss to the Lakers was a 99-98 defeat in a game that had the Lakers up early and the Rockets up late, before one of many late game miracle shots that would be scored on Houston during the first month of the season.
"I still remember that game like it was yesterday," Jeremy Lin said. "That three at the end to win it for them, I think we all remember that."
That 3-pointer came from Steve Blake off an inbounds play with just 3.4 seconds remaining. Lin, Pat Beverley and Dwight Howard had some miscommunication and it resulted in a wide open look for Blake who splashed it through the net with just 1.3 seconds remaining to give the Lakers the one point lead.
"Hopefully we're a little more mature in our defensive system," Lin said. "We've had more experience, we understand it better and we've had it in place longer."
The Rockets suffered through two other final second shots within that week. Just four days later at the end the first overtime against Toronto, Rudy Gay hit a 3-pointer to force double-overtime. That game, the Rockets still won.
Two days later, former Rockets guard James Anderson hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds to force overtime in a game the Rockets would ultimately lose.
But it's the Lakers loss that stands out most to Lin and teammate Dwight Howard.
"It does for me," Lin said. "There are just certain games that you feel like maybe we shouldn't have lost that one. If only we had done something a little bit better, but those are learning experiences."
For Howard, it was the first game against the Lakers since his offseason departure, a fact that he has downplayed from the moment he put on a Rockets uniform and continued to downplay this week leading up to this second meeting. But the ending was still tough for him to stomach.
"It bothers me, too. I was (ticked) off. I wanted to beat those guys," Howard said. "(But) it's not like any banners or ribbons dropped after that shot. We've got more games to be played.
"We should've never let it get there. We have to come out and bust teams open from the beginning. We played around with them, they got a lead, we gave them confidence and they got a good win."
Houston fell behind by as many as 19 points in the first half and still trailed by 14 points with less than 20 minutes remaining. But the Rockets went on a 40-20 run to hold a six point lead with just 2:40 remaining. Then Howard would miss three of four free throws, which set the stage for Blake's heroics, which the Rockets clearly have not forgotten.

This summer sees the release of a slew of new Marvel films, and perhaps the biggest will be Guardians of the Galaxy. Not only will the film be big in terms of its production, but it also happens to be a major gamble for the studio as well. With zero established characters appearing in the movie, Marvel is hoping that the appeal of the character resonates with audiences.
One way to accomplish this is to acquaint and audience with the characters as soon as and as often as possible. That's why Marvel will be getting behind Guardians of the Galaxy with a massive promotional campaign not unlike it's other major character tentpole films.
The studio has released some promotional artwork drawn up by Zak! Designs that will help promote the film in the coming months.
The designs seem as though they'll have a mass appeal and it's clear that Marvel is getting behind the character that has the most prestigious name attached to it.
Rocket Raccoon isn't just a cool character, he's being voiced by Bradley Cooper. Given that Cooper is an A-List star and up for an Oscar this year, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Rocket Racoon is the focus of the promotional art released.

The Grand Rapids Griffins were looking to tie up the series against the Texas Stars, but instead were shutout four to nothing and looked lost on the ice.
The Texas Stars now lead the series 2-0 against the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL Western Conference semifinals.
Brendan Ranford and Justin Dowling scored two goals a piece for Texas and Cristopher Nilstorp stopped all thirty shots the Grand Rapids Griffins could muster against him.
Ranford's goal in the last minute of the first period was a back-breaker for the Griffins because the Stars had dominated the Griffins, but Petr Mrazek had stopped each of the seventeen shots on net until Ranford broke through.
For the rest of the game the Griffins were playing catch-up against the Stars, but were never able to do so.
In the second period, Dowling scored two goals in three minutes to pretty much put the game out of reach for Grand Rapids because they had not be playing well all game. The defense was struggling to keep the Stars' offence at bay and the Griffins' offence could not beat Nilstrop.
The third period was not any better for the Griffins as Ranford potted his second goal on the night to put the dagger in Grand Rapids' coffin.
Petr Mrazek played well most of the night and made thirty-three saves on thirty-seven shots, but did not receive much help from his offense or defense once again.
According to the Grand Rapids Griffins.
The Griffins are 0-4 all time in best-of-seven series when trailing two games to none, including 0-3 as AHL members.
The Griffins have a couple of days off to collect their thoughts and turnaround this series to possibly make franchise history.
Game three is at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Grand Rapids; game four and game five (if necessary) will be played in Grand Rapids, as well.
How did the Red Wings do?
Riley Sheahan was a minus one on the night and had zero shots on net; on shot on net will not cut it for Sheahan.
Tomas Jurco was a minus two on the night and led the Griffins' in shots with five, but could not get one past the goaltender.
