Three Plays: Our Town, The Skin of Our Teeth, and The Matchmaker (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
Three of the greatest plays in American literature collected in one volume
This important new omnibus edition features an illuminating foreword by playwright John Guare and an extensive afterword for each play drawing on unpublished letters and other unique documentary material prepared by Tappan Wilder.
Our Town—Wilder's timeless 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning look at love, death, and destiny is celebrated around the world and performed at least once each day in the United States.
The Skin of our Teeth—Wilder's 1942 romp about human follies and human endurance starring the Antrobus family of Excelsior, New Jersey. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1943.
The Matchmaker—Wilder's brilliant 1954 farce about money and love starring that irrepressible busybody Dolly Gallagher Levi. This play inspired the Broadway musical Hello, Dolly!.
About the Author
Thornton Wilder (18971975) was an accomplished novelist and playwright whose works explore the connection between the commonplace and the cosmic dimensions of human experience. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 for The Bridge of San Luis Rey, the second of his seven novels, and received the Pulitzer Prize in Drama for Our Town in 1938 and The Skin of Our Teeth in 1943. Wilder's hit play The Matchmaker was adapted as the musical Hello, Dolly! His work is widely read and produced around the world to this day, and his screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943) remains a classic psycho-thriller. Wilder's many honors include the Gold Medal for Fiction of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Added Dec 11, 2012
by sewingfan1
Stourbridge, Uni...
I've had this lace collar in my box for AGES just waiting for the right project to come along – my mum gave it to me and said she'd had it passed down to her but hadn't ever used it and when I saw the peplum top in a recent Burda I knew I could finally put it to good use, and here's my finished product.
It's a great pattern to use, lovely and easy to follow and the design gives such a lovely silhouette I think.
I used a wool fabric with some stretch to it, originally meaning to avoid having to add the zipper but decided to add one anyway as I didn't want to start stretching it out of shape. It was a brilliant fabric to work with and as it doesn't fray there was no need to do any hemming or overlocking – wahay!
Did plan to put a silk lining to the body part even though the pattern didn't call for it to help keep its shape and to avoid perspiration marks but was lazy and decided to just wear a vest underneath instead. (It's too flipping cold for any risk of perspiration at the moment anyway).
I loved the black and white used in the original so very unimaginatively just copied them.

Wheaton, IL (October 9, 2012) – A year-long Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) Study is currently being undertaken by RJN Group, Inc. (RJN) for the City of Davenport, Iowa on their Duck Creek Middle Basin. Sanitary sewer mapping, flow monitoring and modeling, as well as a master plan for its sanitary sewer collection system was completed prior to the start of the I/I Study. The previous flow monitoring indicated extensive inflow during rain events. In addition, areas of the basin have experienced basement backups. There are several creeks in the Basin, and most of the main sewer lines in this basin run along these creeks.
RJN will install, maintain, and monitor 12 flow meters and two (2) rain gauges for 60 days. Field technicians from RJN will also perform surface manhole inspections, structure locates, smoke testing of up to 58,000 linear feet, as well as TV inspection (in PACP format) on up to 11,000 linear feet of sewer. RJN's modeling specialists will create a skeletal model of the Basin in order to estimate peak storm flows for 1-, 5-, and 50-year 60 minute storms.
From identified sources and model analysis, RJN will provide recommendations to the City on rehabilitation to be done to remove I/I sources. The I/I Study began in May of this year and is scheduled for completion by the end of March 2013.
RJN provides civil engineering consulting services for clients and their facilities. The firm's offerings include the inspection, study, design, and construction management of wastewater, water, and stormwater infrastructure. GIS and asset management services are also offered by the firm. RJN is an employee owned design firm, established in 1975, headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, with offices nationwide.

Q: Are ventless fireplaces safe? – Beverly S., Macomb, Mich.
A: The safety of ventless fireplaces has sparked debate for quite some time now.
The answer to your question depends largely on whom you talk with. Some fireplace experts our team spoke with are against using them for health reasons, while others say there are very few safety concerns and many benefits that come with using ventless systems.
California is the only state that has banned ventless fireplaces completely, but other jurisdictions have limited their use. In North Carolina and Washington, D.C., for example, they are prohibited in bedrooms and bathrooms to prevent excess carbon monoxide from building up in small areas.
Carbon monoxide, which can be deadly, is among the unburned combustion products that are vented into the home from ventless fireplaces, according to the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
However, most ventless fireplaces are installed with an oxygen-detection sensor that will turn the fireplace off if oxygen levels in the home become too low. But opponents say there are no safety nets in the case the detection sensor fails. A reduction in oxygen is more dangerous for people with respiratory illnesses or young children.
Other service providers say ventless fireplaces can release water vapor and produce a burning gas odor. But federal regulations state that the byproducts' emission levels are safe.
Some installers of the ventless systems say there's not much difference between running gas stove burners – which don't have oxygen sensors – for long periods of time and using a ventless fireplace. If they're installed correctly and serviced each year, they should run fine and not be a danger, they say.
Ventless systems are generally designed only to be used as a supplemental heating source and should not be run for long stretches.
Ventless systems, which do not have a chimney, also have a reputation of running more efficiently. They are generally cheaper, too. The systems can range in price from $2,500-$4,000, while a typical vented unit often goes for $5,000-$6,000.
Either way, make sure to do plenty of research before deciding what's best for you.

Harrrumpfff!!! REAL bikes have pedals, not engines! The Wright Brothers built bicycles, NOT motorcycles. It was that upstart Glenn Curtiss who stuck engines on them and messed everything up. Why, even Harley-Davidson built REAL bikes for a while! http://www.dinosaursandrobots.com/20...t-auction.html
Geoff, hiding in bunker wearing flame-retardant suit

Ha! I'll see your Harrumph and and raise you a Dang Nabit!
Well you have to consider that there was more to the pioneers than just the Wrights and Glenn Curtiss. You also have the Farman brothers, who both raced bicycles and motorbikes, I believe that Santos Dumont was into Dirigibles, and motorbikes. Anzani, a designer of pioneering small flight engines, was also a motor cycle enthusiast.
The Voisons also raced cars.
I'd hate to think what level of stagnation would have been forced on other early flyers if the Wrights draconian wing warping patent was made law. As it was, Glenn Curtiss was a few years ahead of the Wrights in engine design, and had started early with amphibious flyers. So I for one say, YAY! for the diversity of designs history has brought..
Looee who has risen to the stinky bait with a cast-iron mouth...

Yeah, well, I know you've built a REAL bicycle or two too! Quite right about the cross-pollination, though. I suspect that the light, truss-type bike frames inspired early aeronautical construction, whereas Curtiss, Anzani, et al inspired light weight, air-cooled aircraft engine design, although the excellent (for its time) Manley-Balzer engine was water-cooled, and purpose built for aircraft.

Of course, you do understand that my original post was a friendly troll. Lots of spin-offs from one kind of machine to another have happened since the Industrial Revolution - and even before. F'rinstance, the Caudrons ran a furniture factory before they got into building aircraft. WOODEN aircraft!

We understand Geoff, us Brits are masters of irony!
Please don't feel too upset about your son riding a Ducati. If he rides a Ducati the boy has:
(a) Good Taste
(b) More money than he knows what to do with
Happy Landings

I have built and flown model airplanes since 1948. I only owned one motorcycle. A 1959 Honda 250 cc road bike while stationed in Northern Japan in 1963-64. Misawa Air Base about 500 miles North of Tokyo. I could ride a few miles inland an run into Japanese that had never seen Americans. Roads in that area were gravel at best except in towns. A couple photos. Jack
|Apr 21, 2009, 07:04 PM
Jack that looks to my none japanese bike eye like one of the legendary Honda black bombers, pretty much where the Honda build up all began.
Ive had 60s and seventies BSA's twins and singles and Triumphs, we also had a 650 slimline framed Triton at one time that lived in the spare bedroom, twas very shiny. But this is my uncles current cafe racer pride and joy its a tuned Blackshadow motor.

Jack's old Honda would be worth a bit in that condition today.
I saw a slightly later bike on the road the other day, probably a 125 ot 175, 1967 registered, the type with telescopic forks and the twin leading shoe front brake. It looked immacculate.
We're enjoying some lovely Spring weather at the moment in GB and the owner was taking it out for the day.
|Apr 22, 2009, 03:51 AM
The Honda 1959 250 cc road bike needed some work when I bought it. New seat, rear tire, engine re-build and foot pegs replaced. Bike taken apart and any bolts rusted or marked replaced. The engine rebuilt by local japanese fellow. Total cost for getting bike in shape about 30 dollars. A photo of one of the motorcycle/model airplane USAF types I worked with. A Honda 1962 250 cc CL-72 scambler if I remember correctly. That bike and the 305 cc Honda Super Hawk were popular by USAF base members. Jack

The blue Ford Customline with the white roof is not bad either. We had them here too.
I can't quite make it out, but it could be close to 10 years old in your '60 photographs, and one of the first ones with sidevalve engine.......the next updated one used OHV.
Great old pics............keep 'em coming please.
|Apr 22, 2009, 09:05 AM
Rode the motorcycle a lot and flew a lot of R/C when Stationed at Misawa in 1963-64. For R/C I had a CG Falcon and Milt Boone's Charger on single channel with escapments. A scaled down Smog Hog with Reeds. Also a Taurus on Reeds in photo before I attached ailerons. Ron with a scale Bearcat for U/C and Jean with a semi-scale U/C stunt model. Jack

So this is my second attempt to use 135-film in my Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior. This time around I masked the inside of the camera to only expose the frame size of "regular" 135-pictures. The pictures didn't come out all that well. I really dislike most of them. - The next time I'll expose the film shorter and try to get the camera stable. Overexposure and motion blur ruined most of these.This photo was shot on film. Taken by chaoticsense with a Kodak Six-20 Brownie Junior loaded with Rossmann 35mm 200 ISO film in Visby, Sweden. These tags describe this photo: experiment, brownie, six-20, self, portrait, self-portrait, ghost, over exposed, blur, and motion.

Good government sets us free to spend our days in fruitful endeavors, not evasive action motivated by fear and distrust. Government regulations reassure us that speeding drivers will be arrested, that the financial products we buy won't cheat us, and that it will be safer to put our money in banks than under our pillows. If we can't trust our food to be healthy, our drugs to be safe, or our planes to fly without crashing, we'll waste a lot of productive time.
During the debate, I also raised the point that the separation of economics and state implies that businesses and the people who run them are under no obligation to be patriotic.
In the 19th century, the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Fricks, and J.P. Morgans wanted America to do well because their own fortunes were tied to American prosperity. They made America a great economic power by creating jobs and technological advances right here at home. They knew that their own fortunes were bound up with the well-being of their fellow Americans.
In Ayn Rand's America, the first obligation of CEOs is to their shareholders, not to citizens. Their business is global, not local. Why should they care if they send jobs overseas? Why should they be concerned if American kids can't do math or write a sentence? They'll just outsource the work. Why should they worry that the next generation of Americans is going to have a tough time? Their own kids will do just fine. And in the meantime, they're doing just fine themselves.
Andy Grove, the former CEO of Intel, sees a problem with this view. He writes, "You could say, as many do, that shipping jobs overseas is no big deal because the high-value work--and much of the profits--remain in the U.S. That may well be so. But what kind of a society are we going to have if it consists of highly paid people doing high-value-added work--and masses of unemployed?"
Don Peck makes a similar point in his new book, Pinched, and in an Atlantic cover story. "Arguably," he writes, "the most important economic trend in the United States over the past couple of generations has been the ever more distinct sorting of Americans into winners and losers, and the slow hollowing-out of the middle class."
Besides this economic problem, I also see a moral issue with Ayn Rand's insistence that all of us, CEOs included, should be totally free of the ties that bind. I especially disagree when it comes to CEOs. As I wrote here a few months ago, the wealthy have a special responsibility. Much will be asked of those to whom much has been given. Participating in government and civic life, serving in war, helping the less fortunate, and--yes--paying a fair share of taxes are inescapable responsibilities for all Americans, especially for those who have realized the American dream that inspires us all.
I doubt there was anything I could have said in the debate that would have induced Onkar Ghate to view the meaning of freedom in a different light. I suppose he might say the same of me. Still, I can't see how one can be free in a vacuum. Freedom takes work, by each of us, and by our government, to create the place where each of us can prosper. The freedom to sleep under a bridge is no freedom at all. We can only be free when we work together for the well-being of all Americans--including the least among us.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Livan Hernandez threw his second complete game of the season and Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer to power Washington's offense, as the Nationals topped the Cincinnati Reds, 7-1, in the finale of a four-game series.
Hernandez (7-6) gave up one run on seven hits, did not walk a batter and struck out five. The right-hander snapped a two-start losing streak and got his first victory since June 21.
Roger Bernadina hit a solo home run, while Adam Kennedy went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Nationals, who won Wednesday's game and gained a split in the series.
"We needed to put a couple together, and especially against a ballclub as good as Cincinnati," said Nationals manager Jim Riggleman. "We needed to win a couple. Not win a game and take a step back. We needed to show ourselves that yeah, you know, we can play with these other teams and put a few together and not win sporadically, but win more consistently."
Edinson Volquez (1-1), in his second start since returning from Tommy John surgery, gave up six runs in 2 1/3 innings to take the loss.
Ramon Hernandez was brought off the disabled list Thursday and drove in the lone run for the Reds, who allowed 24 runs in the series.
Saturday against Colorado, in his first start this season, Volquez allowed a run in six innings and struck out nine. However, he was decidedly less effective Thursday.
"He was down too low with his changeup, and up too high with his fastball. So just trying to find a consistent release point," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "He had that last time out, and this time he just couldn't find it."
The Nationals got a run in the first inning, when Nyjer Morgan walked, stole second, moved to third on a flyout, then scored on a groundout from Ryan Zimmerman.
Volquez got out of that inning, but put himself in a bad position in the second, when he walked the bases loaded with one away. Livan Hernandez followed with an RBI single, and another run scored when Morgan grounded into a fielder's choice, making it a 3-0 game.
Then in the third, Zimmerman led off with a single before Dunn hit his 23rd homer of the season. Volquez threw a fastball away, and Dunn blasted it to left field.
Willie Harris later tripled, then scored on Kennedy's single, and that was the end of Volquez's day. Carlos Fisher entered and threw 3 2/3 scoreless relief innings, but by that point the Reds were too far behind.
Cincinnati scored its only run in the fourth, when Ramon Hernandez grounded into a fielder's choice with runners on the corners. Livan Hernandez shut the Reds down from there, and Bernadina added his sixth homer of the year in the seventh.

'The Day the Earth Stood Still' Critic Reviews
MovieWeb: 37 reviews
Rotten Tomatoes: 197 reviews
Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)34The original Day the Earth Stood Still had a paranoid poetry that lifted the audience up even as it warned the world to come together. This one is so dour it just comes off as a scolding.
A.O. Scott New York Times (Top Critic)40After Wall-E and I Am Legend and the dozens of apocalypse flicks since the last Day the Earth Stood Still we can surely do better. Even Klaatu looks bored and distracted, much as he did back when we knew him as Neo.
Peter Bradshaw Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)20Keanu Reeves stars, giving the kind of torpid performance that lesser beings can only approximate by necking a hundredweight of Temazepam. The lights are on at the top of the spaceship, but there's no one at the controls.
Claudia Puig USA Today (Top Critic)50A good portion of this sci-fi disaster movie is unintentionally comical. And the parts that aren't funny are just plain dull.
Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)Solemn, sober and efficient, The Day the Earth Stood Still gets the job done and moves on.
Ty Burr Boston Globe (Top Critic)50The new Day the Earth Stood Still lacks the courage of its own eco-pessimism, and the final scenes play like a rushed, embarrassed concession to our need for happy endings, no matter how far-fetched.
Luke Y. Thompson Village Voice (Top Critic)The problem here is that there are none of the big ideas that have kept the 1951 film in the public consciousness
Joe Neumaier New York Daily News (Top Critic)40The stone-faced silliness in this new TDTESS at first seems like an homage to old-fashioned '50s watch-the-skies movies, until it becomes clear it's just newfangled bad filmmaking.
Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal (Top Critic)Where the original film was unpretentious, this version, with Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, is insufferably full of itself, an X-Files episode pumped up to pseudo-cosmic proportions.
Joe Leydon Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)25Arguably the worst reconstitution of a '50s sci-fi classic since the ghastly Godzilla remake, The Day the Earth Stood Still is a stunningly misconceived folly that is bearable only for as long as it remains a fair-to-middling chase movie.
Tom Maurstad Dallas Morning News (Top Critic)17This movie is as clunky and unappealing as the space-saving acronym being used to avoid its endless title -- TDTESS.
Lisa Kennedy Denver Post (Top Critic)50"The Day the Earth Stood Still" doesn't lack heart. It's surprisingly sincere. No, the human quality it could use a bit more of is humor.
David Edelstein New York Magazine (Top Critic)The remake of that fine old fifties alien-invasion picture The Day the Earth Stood Still comes to a standstill about an hour before the Earth does in the wilds of New Jersey.
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times (Top Critic)50All this is presented in an expensive, good-looking film that is well-made by Scott Derrickson, but to no avail.
Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)50In one eye and out the other, the sullen remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still airlifts certain story details straight from its source material.
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader (Top Critic)The original movie's climax, an endearingly corny homily about the necessity of peace, has been replaced by a pointless tsunami of digital effects.
Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer (Top Critic)63An entertaining rethink of the 1951 classic.
Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune (Top Critic)50Neither offensively bad nor particularly good, The Day the Earth Stood Still may be best remembered for the clumsiness of its intrusive product placement.
Tom Long Detroit News (Top Critic)42Despite all the fog machines and giant glowing spheres and TV actors excited to be in a big-budget movie, this remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic that gave baby boomer kids chills simply fails to strike any sparks.
Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic (Top Critic)70Better to just sit back and enjoy The Day the Earth Stood Still for what it is: a fair amount of fun.
Todd McCarthy Variety (Top Critic)This botched remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still seriously dishonors the seriously fine 1951 sci-fi landmark on which it's based.
Lou Lumenick New York Post (Top Critic)50Unless you've seen Robert Wise's original semi-documentary The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), you'd never suspect the utterly generic remake was based on a seminal sci-fi classic.
Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)60This Earth could have moved if they had embraced the heart of Starman. Too bad they settled for a half-hearted Independence Day.
Peter Howell Toronto Star (Top Critic)25The only awe this movie inspires is realizing how well the original stands up, and how little we puny Earthlings have learned in the past 57 years.

Wings 'go pro' during broomball tournament
by George Malik on 02/04/12 at 03:32 AM ET
Comments (0)
Technically speaking, most broomball leagues employ straw "sweep" brooms, the kinds of balls used to torment elementary schoolers during "dodgeball games in the gym and tennis shoes with duct tape on the bottom, thus resulting in a game which, according to some of the people I knew who played in broomball leagues at the University of Michigan, was best played drunk, but DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose reports that the Red Wings' players played with a professional level of broomball equipment while eschewing their hockey sticks to break up some February monotony in Edmonton on Friday, and whenever one gives Pavel Datsyuk proper equipment, he plays like Pavel Datsyuk:
The Wings used a day off in the middle of their four-game road trip, spending a fun afternoon playing broomball on an outdoor rink at the Strathcona Athletic Park, about 25-minutes south of Edmonton. Played on a regulation ice hockey rink, players hit a ball – a little smaller than a soccer ball – around the ice with a stick called a "broom," with wooden shaft and a rubber-molded triangular head similar in shape to that of a regular household broom. Player usually wear special rubberized shoes for traction, but Wings' players and coaches used regular athletic shoes, which made for a few comedic moments as guys slipped their way through the games.
But not [Pavel] Datsyuk, who flawlessly crisscrossed the ice surface, often in a sprint while helping Team Emmerton claim the tourney championship.

Red WIngs off-day news: broomball, trade talk and fun with bursa sacs
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 06:49 PM ET
Comments (9)
Updated 3x with trade talk, Howard and broomball updates, Oilers stuff and Gordie talk at 8:44 PM: Collective Red Wings fan/team/blogosphere freakout regarding Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard's broken right index fingertip,/a> excluded, the Wings actually had a relatively quiet day following their 4-3 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks. The Free Press's Helene St. James reports that the team played broomball instead of practicing, which is incredibly appropriate given the way pucks went in the net during Edmonton's 8-5 victory over Chicago:
In addition to Howard, forwards Todd Bertuzzi and Danny Cleary officiated the tournament. Coach Mike Babcock originally had planned an outdoor practice, but decided a non-hockey event would be even better. He likes doing these sorts of things to break up the monotony of the regular season; last year, for example, the Wings tried curling while here. In a reversal of roles, the broom ball teams were captained by youngsters Justin Abdelkader, Cory Emmerton, Jan Mursak and Jakub Kindl. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall was the first overall pick, while Nicklas Lidstrom went where he historically has gone. "I fit my profile," he said. "Third-rounder."
"It's nice to break it up," Lidstrom said. "Babs has been looking at doing something differently, especially with playing every other night. It'll be fun to see what it's all about."
St. James posted a few more tidbits from the event Via Twitter:

Red Wings to take things outside for Hockey Weekend Across America
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 06:24 PM ET
Comments (1)
Update: the Wings' Twitter account is offering a guaranteed chance to earn one of 50 admission spots to said practice: This is plain old cool, per the Detroit Red Wings:
… Tim Hortons and Kroger Sponsor Red Wings Skate at Downtown Detroit 's Clark Park; 24 Hours of Hockey Action Planned for Joe Louis Arena …
Detroit, MI… As part of Hockey Weekend Across America and their ongoing Hockeytown Thanks initiative, the Detroit Red Wings will be presenting a variety of hockey events throughout the duration of Saturday, February 18.

Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard's broken finger isn't a severe injury
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 05:54 PM ET
Comments (5)
There's kind-of-sort-of good news regarding the broken finger which will keep Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard out of the Wings' next two games: According to DetroitRedWings.com's Bill Roose, Howard suffered a broken fingertip on his right index finger ([edit/update: Roose says it's a clean break, too,] and not a broken pinky), which is something goalies can usually play through…
The Red Wings have learned that they will be without their All-Star goaltender for the remaining two games of their road trip after Jimmy Howard suffered a broken index finger on his right hand in Thursday's 4-3 shoot-out win at Vancouver.The injury occurred early in the third period when Howard made a blocker save on a close-range shot along the ice by Canucks center Max Lapierre. Howard skated to the Wings' bench during the next stoppage where he was examined by Piet VanZant, the team's athletic therapist, who taped up the finger.
Howard finished the game and didn't allow a goal in the shoot-out, stopping the Canucks' Alex Edler and Mason Raymond to earn his league-leading 32nd win of the season. Howard is also third among league starters with a 2.03 goals-against average, and second with five shutouts.
The Detroit News's Ted Kulfan is confirming the team's recall of Joey MacDonald, which will tax the Grand Rapids Griffins as they're playing 3 games in 3 nights this weekend, and the Free Press's Helene St. James spoke to Howard about his injury (and St. James posted a picture of Howard's finger taped up as well)...

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard has a broken pinky finger, out for 2 games
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 11:47 AM ET
Comments (24)
Via DetroitHockey.net's Clark Rasmussen and RedWingsFeed, Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard did speak to Piet Van Zant after his blocker hand took a ding from a collision with a Canucks player during last night's win,
but I'm not sure whether this Twitter post from Aaron Ward is accurate
[edit/update: I obviously owe Aaron Ward an apology here as he was on this first and was spot-on]:
Report out of Detroit that Joey McDonald has been called up.Jimmy Howard sustained a hand injury in the win over Vancouver last night. #TSN
We'll find out whether this is true over the next hour or two. Here's hoping that if this is true, it's nothing more than a broken fingernail.
Update: Oh boy, per TSN's Darren Dreger:
Word is Jimmy Howard has a broken pinkie, should be out about 2 weeks or so…
Update #2: Make that oh sh**, per ESPN's Pierre LeBrun:
Following up @aaronward_nhl and news on Jimmy Howard injury. It's suspected Howard suffered a broken finger. #TSN
Update #3: Make that two games, per the Red Wings:

Red Wings-Canucks wrap-up and overnight report: objective met, plus news about Bertuzzi and Howe
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 08:55 AM ET
Comments (13)
The Detroit Red Wings didn't exactly dazzle and missed several opportunities to take definitive control of their perhaps karmically correct 4-3 shootout victory over the Vancouver Canucks, going 0-for-4 on the power play and only denting the twine behind Roberto Luongo twice over a 40-minute period of time in which they out-shot their opponents 30-11…
But a win is always welcome for the Wings, especially when it comes away from Joe Louis Arena, so the Wings flew to Edmonton to enjoy a well-deserved day off before taking on the red-hot Oilers (did I say that right?) with a slightly more commanding lead over each and every one of their Central Division and Western Conference rivals, the Canucks included, and that's what really matters.

Wings fans, prepare to say something which rhymes with, "Slow ship" regarding Patrick Eaves
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 06:39 AM ET
Comments (5)
Am I allowed to swear on this blog? Because I sure feel like doing so right now…
I'm penning a Red Wings-Canucks overnight report in the middle of the night, trying to balance this, that and the other thing on the head of a pin, but as I scrolled through the Wings' notebooks, RedWingsFeed on Twitter, a.k.a. Mike Serven, and I had the same thought as the Free Press's Helene St. James mentioned that a player the Wings really hope will return down the stretch is having "complications" of a highly concerning variety as he attempts to recover from a broken jaw suffered a little over two months ago:
Assistant general manager Jim Nill said forward Patrick Eaves, out since Nov. 26 after breaking his jaw, is suffering from concussion-like symptoms and remains out indefinitely.
Update: MLive's Ansar Khan filed a middle-of-the-night report about Eaves' condition, too:

Red Wings-Canucks quick take: karmic balance?
by George Malik on 02/03/12 at 03:17 AM ET
Comments (14)
Maybe the Vancouver Canucks' fans can at least argue that they got some karmic retribution despite dropping a 4-3 shootout decision to the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.
The Wings out-shot the Canucks by an insane margin through the first two periods (30-11) and out-shot Vancouver 43-25 overall, but the Wings went 0-for-4 in 8:00 of PP time and surrendered 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 leads to a Canucks team that certainly felt that its one power play should have a zero next to it.
It's not that the Wings were dirty—the Canucks and Wings played a game that was equal parts high-flying offense, grit and grime in a generally clean manner (perhaps the low-bridge attempt by Keith Ballard which drew Todd Bertuzzi's ire excluded from a Wings fan's standpoint), but even I can't deny that the Wings got away with a few hacks, whacks and high sticks that should have resulted in penalties.

Red Wings' coach, GM and develompental system stave off aging/rebuilding on an 'old team'
by George Malik on 02/02/12 at 11:16 PM ET
Comments (4)
As we await the puck drop between the Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks tonight at 10, a pair of stories which I don't want to get lost in the game-day update thread or the Howe follow-up popped up, and while some of us (me, anyway) don't like having stories fall into our lap right before game time as we're usually already into our routines and/or eating dinner before a late night game like this one, the Vancouver Province's Ed Willes and the Vancouver Sun's Cam Cole posted a pair of columns which cannot be ignored or postponed to the "overnight report."
Willes addresses the 37th anniversary of Todd Bertuzzi's birth as a segue into an article discussing the Red Wings as a team that has, and I quote, "Been old for almost as long as they've been great." The Red Wings have little worries about this year's team being past its expiration date, as Ken Holland told Wiles:
"We like an old team," shrugged GM Ken Holland.
Apparently so. This season, in the minds of more than a few observers, was supposed to be the year when the Wings succumbed to the ravages of time and started looking and playing like their age. Let's just say that presumption has proven erroneous. Playing with virtually the same core group that has averaged 111 points a season since the lockout, the Methuselas of Motown are as good as they've ever been and remain one of the model NHL franchises. Nick Lidstrom turns 43 in a couple of months. Tomas Holmstrom just turned 39. The exquisite centre duo of Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg are 33 and 32 respectively. And the Wings just keep rolling.
"Winning is fun," said Babcock. "When you lose every night, the season is 164 games long and when you win, it's 41 games long. That's a big part of it. But we're no different than anybody else. You're scared every day. How long can you keep it going?"
But yes, the Wings are indeed worried about the future…

Gordie Howe follow-up: Marty says Gordie doesn't specifically have dementia; Mike Babcock weighs in
by George Malik on 02/02/12 at 06:43 PM ET
Comments (3)
Updated 4x at 8:40 PM: In a somewhat strange twist given Marty and Murray Howe's comments to the Canadian Press's Donna Spencer regarding their father's battle with what is clearly the initial signs of some sort of Alzheimer's or dementia-related illness, Marty told the Detroit News's Gregg Krupa that his father's slow mental decline does not involve a specific diagnosis of dementia per se:
"Just to set things straight Gordie does not have dementia," Marty Howe said as he was driving with his dad from Kamloops, British Columbia, to Vancouver for a press conference Thursday afternoon. "He has had a cognitive problem for 7 or 8 years that causes mostly short-term memory loss. If he had dementia we would be lucky to have him with us."
According to a Canadian Press report, Dr. Murray Howe, another of Howe's sons, said his father likely has mild cognitive impairment, which is considered and intermediate condition between the normal aging process, in advanced age, and early dementia.
For a few years now, reporters attempting to contact Gordie Howe for specific memories of his glory years with the Red Wings and in the NHL have been cautioned by the Howe family, that their father or grandfather's memory of such events is no longer entirely reliable.
The Free Press's Helene St. James also asked Wings coach Mike Babcock to weigh in as to how Howe's performing in terms of personal interactions while also stating (perhaps on caution from the team) that Howe's memory is "deteriorating":

Good Points
Picture editor is useful (lot cheaper than downloads!) ;o) - it's unbreakable! - looks good - if outer shell is removed keypad lights will easily light a large room!! (great in powercuts!) Infra red also came in useful for net surfin via laptop.
Bad Points
when sending long 3 page txts, key reaction is VERY slow - often crashes at this point (v. annoyin) >:-( Thermometer is a gimmick (it is not ever -18o even in my house!) Outer shells are expensive! There is no phone storage for additional txts. My sim only holds 10 :-(
General Comments
I've had this Nokia 5210 phone for a year now and although i did wear out one of the buttons at first (far too much space impact!) which needed a replacement i've had no problems with it. I found the vibrate very strong which is useful in very loud environments, particulally as the ringing volume is not very loud. (although the strong vibrate can be somewhat embarrasing in quiet surroundings!) I have dropped it a vertical distance of over 20ft onto a hard wooden floor and it survived! this phone is great and if it wernt for the networks giving new phones away free i wouldn't be changing!

Thank you to whoever
Thank you to whoever downvoted my thread. It's good to see that we're fighting against each other even though the main purpose here is liberty. Here's an idea, let's foght amongst each other so they don't have to fight against us. We'll just kill ourselves. By taking away the ability for me to ask for help you're also potentially taking a choice away from people who may not otherwise know they even have a choice. Shouldn't we be working together here?

The Fires of Vesuvius: Pompeii Lost and Found
Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2008 - History - 360 pages
Pompeii is the most famous archaeological site in the world, visited by more than two million people each year. Yet it is also one of the most puzzling, with an intriguing and sometimes violent history, from the sixth century BCE to the present day.
Destroyed by Vesuvius in 79 CE, the ruins of Pompeii offer the best evidence we have of life in the Roman Empire. But the eruptions are only part of the story. In The Fires of Vesuvius, acclaimed historian Mary Beard makes sense of the remains. She explores what kind of town it wasâe"more like Calcutta or the Costa del Sol?âe"and what it can tell us about âeoeordinaryâe life there. From sex to politics, food to religion, slavery to literacy, Beard offers us the big picture even as she takes us close enough to the past to smell the bad breath and see the intestinal tapeworms of the inhabitants of the lost city. She resurrects the Temple of Isis as a testament to ancient multiculturalism. At the Suburban Baths we go from communal bathing to hygiene to erotica.
Recently, Pompeii has been a focus of pleasure and loss: from Pink Floydâe(tm)s memorable rock concert to Primo Leviâe(tm)s elegy on the victims. But Pompeii still does not give up its secrets quite as easily as it may seem. This book shows us how much more and less there is to Pompeii than a city frozen in time as it went about its business on 24 August 79.

Joint Protection
Healthy joints are critical to getting the most out of your training because once you start to get joint pain it can stop you training effectively. These joint protection supplements contain proven ingredients such as glucosamine and chondroitin among others which can help to keep your joints moving freely.
It is important to stress that these joint protection supplements don't cure an already injured joint, but rather help keep your joints in the best possible health before an injury happens. Don't be the person that only takes any notice of their joints when they start to hurt; take care of them all of the time!
