Locus Review of Everland As Elizabeth Hand points out in her introduction to Paul
Witcover's collection Everland and Other Stories, Witcover's fiction has been
"fearless in its refusal to remain locked inside the borders of genre" since
his first published story in 1984—long before genre slippage had become the
stuff of movements and manifestos—and if his name isn't one of the first that
comes to mind when such movements are discussed, it's probably his own fault.
His rate of short fiction production is just short of tectonic; four of the
twelve stories here originally appeared in the 1980s, three appeared in the
intervening decades, and five are original to this collection. Having five
Witcover stories appear all at once, by his standard of prolificacy, would seem
to officially count as a something of a fit. Fortunately, it's a fit we should
be glad to witness, since Witcover's approach to his narrative materials isn't
quite like anyone else's, and since the best story here, the Nebula-nominated
"Left of the Dial," could well become something of a classic of technique, in
its gradual and masterful insinuation of the materials of the ghost story and
the time-shift tale into what begins as a thoroughly mainstream exploration of
the dynamics of grief. Beginning with an account of the narrator's mother's
death in a superbly realized setting of Reston, Virginia and gradually
revealing a tangle of guilt-ridden relationships stretching back to a death
that occurred decades earlier, it's one of a handful of stories I might want to
give to people by way of explaining how the fantastic can illuminate and inform
the sensibility of quotidian realism without violating or overwhelming the
emotional terms of the initial tale. But "Left of the Dial" is the final story in the collection,
following the long-established principle of ending on an anthemic note, and
part of what lends the collection an unusual fascination is in seeing how
Witcover gets there. The opening story, "Mayaland" (originally published in
Night Cry in 1986) is a much more conventional horror tale, despite its
evocative Guatemalan setting reminiscent of Lucius Shepard. The protagonist, an
idealistic American hanging out in a seedy bar, meets an Indian who shows him
remarkable portraits carved from avocado pits, and who lures him to a remote
village where ancient rituals remain alive. The Paris of "The Cats of
Thermidor" is an equally evocative setting—this is one of Witcover's consistent
strengths—in which a young American historian arrives to do research despite a
spate of café bombings. He meets and begins a passionate affair with a neighbor
who makes jewelry for cats, but—as with "Mayaland"—the ending is just
convenient enough to permit the reader to discern it well before the narrator does.
But in the other earlier stories here, Witcover pointedly leads us in
directions that don't permit easy endings: "Red Shift", narrated by a
hydrocephalic girl in a ratty has-been traveling show called the Wonder Circus,
is haunting yet unsentimental in a way that almost evokes the fiction of Margo
Lanagan (though this story is Witcover's very first, from 1984!), while the
other 1980s story, "Moonlight Becomes Magenta" (1988) presents a Hamlet-like
dilemma to a young boy born into revolutionary 19th-century South America, who
may find a solution to his problem with the aid of a visiting band of gypsies.
But of all these earlier tales, "Lighthouse Summer" (1991) most clearly
prefigures the authenticity of memory we'll later see in "Left of the Dial", as
a boy troubled by his mother's remarriage befriends a ghost-like "captain" who
inhabits an abandoned lighthouse near his home. The characters here are as
fully realized as any in the collection. The original stories here may go even further in explaining why Witcover hasn't achieved a clear identity for many readers: no two are remotely alike. One of the most ambitious—and the one which most closely alludes to a familiar tradition—is "Everland". The Peter Pan tale has been masticated and realigned more than it needs to be in recent fantasy—Pat Cadigan, Peter David, Bruce Glassco, perhaps most notably Jane Yolen's "Lost Girls"—but Witcover manages to take it in an unexpected and edgy direction, unpacking the more brutal undertones of the tale without denaturing its magic. "Twilight of the Dogs" depicts an apocalyptic civil war from the point of view of one of the fundamentalist Christians whose leaders initiated it, and the management of point of view—right up until the ingenious ending—is what sells the story. "The Silver Ghost" is essentially a character portrait of a too-involved nurse who undertakes the care of a young man brain-damaged by wrecking the car of the title, turning into a contest of wills with the boy's father which perhaps too readily resolves into a ghost story with a "Twilight Zone" ending. "Where Balloons Go", though, is the most hypnotically Kafkaesque tale in the book, complete with a Kafkaesque drudge named Felix—a proofreader in a New York law firm—awakened one night by the door buzzer in his new apartment and later dogged by an apparently homeless man who insists Felix has a rare magical marble, an aggie, left behind by the previous inhabitant. In a material sense, it's the purest fantasy tale in the book, opening up in a way that seems both inevitable and terrifying. At his best, when he avoids contrivance and lets the story find its own logic—as he does here, in "Left of the Dial," and in varying degree in most of the tales in Everland and Other Stories, Witcover convinces us that he's a voice we'd like to hear far more from, and one who, but for the sparsity of his output, might well be thought of in terms comparable to Elizabeth Hand, Jeffrey Ford, and a handful of others involved in renegotiating the uses of the fantastic. - Gary Wolfe |

Watch this and see if you can guess what McLaren's P1 supercar is powered by
A few nights ago, our own Michael Harley visited the McLaren P1 at an event in Beverly Hills, California. A recording of the engine note was played, and that led to speculation that the P1 will get a hi-po version of the 3.8-litre V8 employed by the MP4-12C, rocking something like 800 horsepower.
McLaren has been testing the P1, getting it showroom ready for its 500-unit run, and part of that involves full-throttle test-track duty with its tail held high. After checking out the official development prototype "spy shots," you can hear that engine note for yourself and guess how much flame spitting horsepower The Woking Wonder is pushing by watching the video below.

I absolutely love this mask! I'm not a routine mask user. I only use a mask if I have a meeting/ special occasion or happen to think of it while I'm soaking in the tub. Otherwise, who has the time? The results with this one were so good I try to make it part of my weekly routine. While it really works better if you give it time to dry, I use it in the shower after cleansing and leave it on while I condition and shave. It's really thick with chunks of blueberry skin/ pulp but spreads easily on damp skin and the texture is very soothing. It also smells amazing! It makes my dry skin so plump and happy. I received a sample of the coconut mask with purchase and it's great too. I'm really impressed with the line-- moisturizers, masks and (cream) cleansers alike.

I've been using this weekly for awhile now. It smells great, has chunks of blueberries in it and has the consistency of thick yogurt. It's fun to use.
Does it do anything? It moisturizes a bit. I haven't noticed much else. This is a product that is kind to the senses but may not have the results you want. Price is slightly over $50 for 2oz.

We searched through the house, sniffing, carefully trying to locate the source of this light odor. Our son Winston, a teenager at the time, also picked up on the scent and joined in the search. After we could not discover where the smell was coming from we thought to err on the side of caution. We called 911 and described the scent.
All of a sudden we heard sirens! We stuck our heads out the front door and saw several fire trucks, lights flashing and firemen in full gear pulling into our parking lot! It was a full-blown spectacle!
Our neighbors packed the street outside our complex, wondering what was going on! Needless to say, we didn't expect this much attention! We were saying, "It's nothing, we thought we smelled electrical wires burning — it's nothing, really."
Then more trucks and emergency workers showed up! Just between us, it sure looked like a big deal! The firemen entered the house and immediately picked up the scent. They reported to an official that something electrical was definitely in the air and combed the house to find the source.
These experts took a very thorough search of the premises before they uncovered the truth: A knife with a rubber handle had fallen on a hot coil in our dishwasher and slightly melted, giving off the faint scent similar to an electrical fire!
We were relieved and embarrassed at the same time — well, mostly embarrassed. The firefighters were glad to be of service and exited our building with a throng of people still scratching their heads.
One thing was clear in that false alarm: When it comes to the slightest possibility of a fire, the fire department is dead serious and all business! They were thorough, no nonsense and fully prepared to respond with everything they had to extinguish a fire.
Although it was a cringeworthy moment having that much attention over nothing, we kept saying how it was better that we and the fire department overestimated the danger rather than underestimated it. Better that they jumped on it fast and furious than wait for a slight scent to become a raging inferno! Yes, we did the right thing.
That night, however, I thought about the striking similarities between fire and slander — the misuse of the tongue. James 3:5-6 says, "A large forest can be set on fire by a little flame. The tongue is that kind of flame. It is a world of evil among the parts of our bodies, and it completely contaminates our bodies." — GOD'S WORD Translation.
This is especially true when it is used to spread malicious lies, to deceive and slander others. Such a tongue is deadly.
If it's happened to you, you understand how damaging and destructive false information about others can be. Lives have been ruined, careers destroyed, unwarranted actions have been taken in a rush to judgment, all because of lies and rumors that spread like wildfire.
How did God instruct His people to handle slander? Deuteronomy 19:16-19: states: "If any of you try to harm another by false accusations, both of you are to go to the one place of worship and be judged by the priests and judges who are then in office.
"The judges will investigate the case thoroughly; and if you have made a false accusation, you are to receive the punishment the accused would have received. In this way your nation will get rid of this evil." — Good News Translation.
Bringing the accused and accuser before the authority of the priests and judges may seem extreme today — almost like a team of firefighters primed to put out a fire before it got started. The fact that they were to "investigate the case thoroughly" indicate this is more serious to God than it is to most people today.
But when we consider that the very first victim of lies and slander was Jehovah God Himself in the Garden of Eden and how all our present-day problems stem from that first lie, it is understandable that He takes false accusations about anyone very seriously.
It is one thing to make a mistake — a slip of the tongue. We all do. It is quite another to deliberately spread untruths about others. James 1:26 says, "If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless." — New Living Translation.
Imagine the change in local communities, governments, religions and the media if slander was traced back to its source and people were held accountable for their malicious lies?
By putting out such "fires," preventing careers and reputations from needlessly going up in smoke by thorough investigations and nipping slander in the bud, we bring a sigh of relief and much less trouble in the world.
More importantly, since God hates "a lying tongue," according to Proverbs 6:16-19, that in itself should make anyone bite their tongue and check their words before speaking.

De Luz home invasion robbery leaves woman bound, two suspects still at largeThursday, June 26th, 2014 Issue 26, Volume 18.
"The victim reported to the deputies that four suspects forced their way into the home after asking the resident for directions." stated Riverside County Sheriff Deputy John Wade. "The suspects brandished a handgun, tied the victim up and blindfolded her while they ransacked the residence." According to the report, numerous identifiable pieces of personal property were stolen from the residence as the victim lay tied and blindfolded. "The victim was able to free herself and the Sheriffs Department was called." Wade said. As detectives began their investigation on scene of the crime, Temecula Police officers received a dispatch regarding suspicious activity in the parking lot of a local motel, Advertisement "The caller reported seeing subjects unloading items from two vehicles and carrying the items into a nearby motel room." Wade reported. "The items described by the caller matched items taken during the recent home invasion robbery." The Temecula Police officers, on scene, made contact with two males as they exited the motel room, who then fled on foot. "Aaron Facciponti (19 years) from Pomona and Claudio Higuera (42 years) from West Covina were arrested without incident." Higuera was also arrested on an outstanding warrant for violating the terms and conditions of his parole." Wade said. Many pieces of the victims personal property were recovered, linking the apprehended suspects to the crime, however two additional suspects are still at large. Wade urged anyone with information regarding this investigation to respond to Detective Jeff Fisher at the Temecula Police Department /Riverside Sheriffs Southwest Patrol Station â (951) 696-3000. 13 comments
That must have been terrifying. I'm betting that Higuera was one of these guys recently paroled due to what our politicians refer to as "realignment" to solve the jail overcrowding problem. Proves the old adage that you get what you vote for. Comment Continued : The comment above was written from the same location.
If you want to understand what I'm talking about read this in today's LA Times about SB 260. http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-parole-killer-20140629-story.html#page=1 This will only stop when we vote these "soft on crime" politicians out of office.
Hmmmm...so, I have a friend whose home was just burglarized and when the Sheriff arrived there, no fingerprints were taken and my friend was told they probably left their door unlocked, case closed. Granted, no one was at home at my friend's house and my heart does goes out to the victim (s) in the story above, yet I would sincerely like to know why some folks can get the Sheriff Department to do their job and others can't. Clearly, either I am missing something or perhaps there are some favorite sons and daughters around town. This is one of those days I really miss San Diego Sheriff's Sgt. John McBroom!
I agree with you Ruth. I had the same problem when my car was broken into. My doors were locked, I left nothing at all of value in the car, yet some bozo decided to break my window and ransack my glove compartment. He or she got nothing for their trouble. The deputy finally showed up, he took no prints (said there probably weren't any)??? took a report and left. Thank God for good insurance!! I believe that we can thank our liberal government for the above story. Cops catch them and the courts let them go. BTW I miss John McBroom every day, he was a very dear friend.... and a good cop!!
I got to agree with comment #3 our house in San Marcos was burglarized 10 years ago, it so happened the robbers ran out of the house as I drove up. The sheriffs dept. office in Encinitas sent two deputies out. They arrive and tell me basically theres not much they can do to get my property returned, but proceed to take fingerprints and do theyre routine detective work for 2 hours. They find no prints. So we say goodbye to them, and one detective hands me his business card and says if you have any questions or think of anything to please give him a call. We got a call from our credit card co. within the hour of the burglary, that a card of ours (not yet authorized) had tried to be used by the robbers, 3 unsuccessful times at 3 different gas stations, 10 minutes from our home, now thats a lead. So we get on it and called the deputy. He did not answer my call nor did he return my call. They possibly could of got theyre man that night and been heros. A hero is hard to find. And to the liberal government comment, please you can't pin this on anything but an individual making bad desperate choices in life. This stuff is gonna happen.
I did catch my typo in my previous comment...mea culpa. Thank you Pink for your comment. I have since discovered something I did not know nor would know as I am not in law enforcement. That is as told to me by a Poway Deputy that fingerprints can not be taken from porous surfaces, such as wood. That glass and metal are the best for latent prints and porous surfaces are where fingerprints were found in my friend's home. So, perhaps the responding Deputy to my friend's home knew this, albeit, didn't share that information. I have had my share of flippant irreverent remarks made to me personally by deputies, that crime prevention guy and even one volunteer, (I miss Marlene too,) and all I do know for sure is even if we the public do not know the ins and outs of your job, try just being a decent human being by extending kindness to a victim and saying 'I am sorry for this grief,' or anything because that is what John and Marlene would do. It is these experiences that led me to even comment on this story. Oh and I do still back the badge.
Pink....you're lucky the deputy showed up at all......when I lived in La Jolla I couldn't even get an officer to come to the house when my garage was broken into and both my cars entered. The creep even left a perfect thumb print on my convertible's rearview mirror when he cut the dome light that was built into the mirror.
The police work for us - if you are unhappy with the results of your interaction with a deputy call his boss. People believe that the rich get special protection - they might but not because of the money - they feel they are entitled so they scream; If the deputy does not take finger prints, ask him to wait, then call the SO and complain. (Don't get in his/her face - go above him/her). Unfortunately, we often get only the enforcement we demand.
One final remark on this discussion. First, thank you rossman for noticing my comment. My final comment is relevant because we, as a town, are having an honest discussion about the concerns we share in common. In the past, I have read a few of grunt's comments and they have certainly been wise and well presented. His answer here though, only works for part of the population. As a certified volunteer crisis counselor, I can tell you that more personality types would rather not rock the proverbial boat... and seek out a supervisor, especially when it comes to law enforcement. As a woman of integrity I do believe if you have a concern such as mentioned in these posts, that placing a Deputy under scrutiny will not solve a lot. In a perfect world, no one should have to ask anyone to do their job or explain it. That being said, the only real solution is to realize that we are the backup for law enforcement, not the other way around, to respond proactively in our lives, not defensively, (i.e. getting a dog or alarm after a break in,) to look out for each other and most importantly, place GOD first. It is refreshing to see these conversations as much as it is to be a part of them and perhaps more possible solutions can be offered for the various comfort levels in which people live their lives. For me, I am a hammer and so everything looks like a nail. I'm just sayin...
I tend to agree with grunt (usually do, how's that work :) ) My ex in-laws were broken into and robbed on Thanksgiving (they were out of town). The Vista Sheriff's were called and tried each and every way they could to dissuade the out-laws from asking them to print (too messy, probably won't find any, you don't understand what a mess it will make, etc..) but, after insisting upon prints, they conceded and prints were taken. Never found out who did it. Point being, they really would have preferred not to do so at all.
That's Terrible the situation that is. Life is rough with all the things going on in the world. I hope the purpitrates pay a price for their crime and learn something form this. They are young and hopefully this is an opportunity to change their lives.
If I saw FOUR men at my door, I sure as heck would not open it and give them directions!? "The victim reported to the deputies that four suspects forced their way into the home after asking the resident for directions."
@Angela- I don't think she opened the door to them willingly. "Forced their way in" could be one knocked on the door, asked for directions then the other three rushed her. (Not saying this is how it happened, but IF I were to do this type of thing, it is how I would do it).

Who has it and do you like it? I have just spent hours hunting for the GW kitchen that showed a counter that dropped lower in the corner. It may be the only way I can have a lower baking/mixing area in my kitchen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are a lot of height-challenged folks on GW.I am not one of them so I didn't want a lower counter. I am sure others will chime in! |
Thanks a2gemini. It's so frustrating because when I saw the picture in a thread about 3 weeks ago, I didn't even think of saving it. Hope they do chime in. |
I know someone who has this in her island and she loves it. She is petite and loves to bake. |
Thanks catlover5. I've often wished for a shorter counter when I'm using my KA or when kneading dough. Mom used to put the bowl in a kitchen chair to knead but that is too short for me. |

Erm, have you tried wearing a really comfy pair of heeled boots to see if you like the lower counters? I'm only 5'7" and I think regular counters are a good height, and when I'm wearing heels in the kitchen (like right after I get home) everything seems too low to me. Granted, I'm usually wearing 2.5" or 3" heels (because it's easier to buy more heels than hem my pants, not because I secretly wish to be 5'10"). So maybe a counter only 2" lower would be better. In any case, a pair of comfy heeled boots would let you try before you buy :) |
I have one. Here's a picture of it in use. I'm 5'4" and my son is almost 4 and about 42" tall. I love that I can post directly from my computer, but can we only do one at a time? I'll look for another shot in comparison to the regular counter. |
Thanks cluelessincolorado. I went through 46 pages of the link and saw some beautiful kitchens. So far there are not any baking centers in a corner with both sides of the corner having the lower counter. I'll keep looking because there are some good ideas there. |
Here's a different view of our baking center. You get get a full tour of the kitchen in the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen with lowered baking center
Thanks EngineerChic. I had not even thought to try that but I'll get out the heels and see how it goes. I'm 5' 4" (and 1/2" if I stretch). ICFgreen I do so like your kitchen! It is a lot larger and more open than mine. (sigh) Your little boy is sure a sweetie! (I'm partial to little boys--raised two wonderful sons.) Thanks for the pictures and the link (I bookmarked it for continued reference). Would you mind telling me the height of your baking counter? I'm just about the same height as you. OT--do you still love your cork floors? No one I know has them but what I've read about cork sounds good. |
I am vertically challenged and decided to make an entire side of the galley just 33.5 inches tall. I mocked it up for multiple scenarios with books and this was the best height for me to be able to look into pots, roll dough etc. |
Thanks lalitha for the measurement. I'll try that mock up tip. I appreciate your answer. |

Azeroth Interrupted: Reader Mail -- Overcoming fears of raiding {WoW}
Nov 6th 2007 8:01PM Robin, thanks for this post - while it is a bit behind the times I'm certain it will help out. Over the last six months my wife and I worked on getting our Kara key (took a bit) and have been running with one of our guild groups there. She also has been in Magtheridon a couple times and just recently saw Gruul's for the first time. On her own she's been researching boss fights, watching videos, reading up on strategies. She asks for my input on enchants and gems on her gear upgrades, and has me look over her spec choices (I used to run a Warrior as my main long ago). She certainly enjoys herself in the raids and takes the opportunities given her to improve on tanking and dpsing. I must say, I enjoy seeing her in the same raid I'm in...I even sneak heals over to her when no one's watching. :P
Thanks for your column Robin, I'll be sure to catch it over on the Massively forum!

Dear Friends:
Fall is in the air—but campaigns are heating up.
The November 4th election is around-the-corner. Many people and propositions are vying for your vote.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Yamada for Assembly 2012 707-533-4851
Davis, CA – Assemblymember Mariko Yamada (D-Davis) issued the following statement regarding her 2012 Assembly re-election bid:
"The Citizens Redistricting Commission concluded its work on August 15 after months of spirited public participation. With the new maps now in place, I am announcing today that I will seek re-election in the new California Assembly District 04, which includes all or part of six counties: Colusa, Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma, and Yolo, where I have lived for the past 16 years.
Happy New Year!
Dear Friends and Family:
My first month in office has certainly lived-up to its name-extraordinary session.
For the past 30 days, beyond the normal start-up activities of getting organized, hiring staff, and crafting our legislative platform, there have been numerous Democratic Caucus conference calls, meetings, and late-night Assembly Floor Sessions to grapple with California's biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression.
My first week as an Assemblymember went by quickly and I can truly say it is a privilege to serve on your behalf. For those who attended my swearing-in ceremonies on Monday, December 1, I thank you for taking time from your busy schedules to "bear witness" to my solemn oath of service—your support and encouragement over the past two years has made all the difference.
Talkin' Turkey on Thanksgiving Day 2008
In a few days, I'll be leaving Yolo County after ten years, and moving on to the 8th A.D. seat we've all worked so hard to win these past two years. What I call "the longest job interview of my life" is now drawing to a close.
As we enter this traditional time of thanksgiving and winter holidays, we take pause to consider all of our blessings—as a nation, as a community, within our families and within ourselves. Even in these very difficult times, I do have hope that by working together, we will make it through.
Trick or Treat? It's Up to Us!
No doubt about it—the next 96 hours (or 97 since we get an "extra hour" back from the return of Daylight Standard Time this Sunday) are critical to taking our country and our State back. We're in our "Final Four" to Election Day 2008, and there's no time to let-up!
October's Bright BLUE Weather
Fall has always been my favorite time of year. September's heat loosens its grip, making way for crisp October mornings. Nature's paintbrush colors the trees in bright yellows, vibrant oranges and fiery reds, framed by brilliant blue skies. These "landscape pictures" always please my eyes.
Happy Labor Day-We're "On" and Running!
Hope all of you are well and as excited as I am about the upcoming fall campaign.
First, just to bring you up-to-date--over the past three months, the Yamada for Assembly 2008 campaign took a short break, saw some staff changes, and re-organized to make a unified November 4th Democratic victory our top priority.
What a Week! Thank You!
First, my apologies for being late with this edition of Mariko's Missive. As of midnight on Tuesday, June 3, our campaign voice mailboxes were full and over the course of this past week, we've received email in the hundreds. I want to thank each and every caller and emailer - we have tried to acknowledge each one of your contacts personally and hope we've not missed a single one.
From Start To Finish-Election Day Is Here!
Our journey to Election Day began fifteen months ago when a few of you braved a cloudy and bitter cold morning in Fairfield for a 9 a.m. press announcement in front of the Solano County Government Center. We thawed out in time for the second-half of our announcement in front of the Yolo County Superior Court in Woodland, under lunchtime skies that had cleared to make way for sunshine and a larger gallery of friends.

Tonight in Kitchen Stadium, the secret ingredient was home-ice advantage. The Vancouver Canucks, as is their custom, cooked up an early stinker on the road en route to another crushing defeat in Boston. Make it a 5-2 final. Chef Tim Thomas prepared a dazzling dish of 36 saves, holding the Canucks scoreless until the third period. Only after falling down 4-0 in the first period did the Canucks begin to show any desire to compete in Game 6 of the Stanely Cup Final. The Canucks have now scored a total of three goals in Boston in this series, while the Bruins have only been able to pot two in Vancouver. Maybe there's something to this idea of 'home-ice advantage' after all.
Only the most cynical of cynics would have predicted that Roberto Luongo would have been chased from the net less than 10 minutes into Game 6, so hats off to whomever accurately predicted that. Brad Marchand opened the floodgates five and a half minutes into the first period, and he was followed by Milan Lucic scoring his second of the series and a power play marker from Andrew Ference. Coming off of a shutout in Game 5, Luongo allowed three goals on eight shots before Alain Vigneault pulled him in favour of Cory Schneider. Making his second appearance in three games, Schneider was pretty solid despite giving up a goal just over a minute after being summoned from the bench. He won't be the story, but Schneider gave the Canucks a chance in stopping 30 of 32 shots he faced.
More stunned fans…
The Bruins led 4-0 after one, scoring all four goals in a span of 4:14. Thomas looked like he had a legitimate shot at a shutout before Henrik Sedin opened the third period with his third of the playoffs on an open net with a backhand. Both teams would add another goal, but the Bruins managed to fend off elimination and force a seventh and deciding game for Wednesday night.
Here are your highlights:
Mason Raymond can't stop the bumrush
Raymond left the game and did not return following this collision with the boards via Johnny Boychuk. He was reportedly taken out of TD Garden on a stretcher, we will follow up on Raymond in the morning.
Luongo yanked after three first period goals
Roberto Luongo would not get his coveted tire pumping from Tim Thomas on this night.

A new report on social gaming potentially contains good news for all Train2Game students.
The Social Gaming Smart Pack from EConsultancy suggests that one fifth of all consumers now play social media games online with one third of those playing several times a day. Among other things, the report also suggests that a fifth of regular social gamers have paid to play and that more women than men play them.
For Train2Game students' reference, the report defined social games as "Web-based games that can be played with other people and include interactive elements or content that can be shared online." The report makes particular reference to games on Facebook such as Mafia Wars and Farmville.
TIGA CEO Dr. Richard Wilson says the report confirms changing trends in the UK games industry:
"This report demonstrates once again the increasing prevalence of gaming and the shift towards playing online. Games are now accessible and attractive to a wide audience, on a variety of platforms and come in all shapes and sizes. The report finds that more women than men play social games. This is a hugely significant development for this industry. The report also shows that games are increasingly being viewed as a format of choice for big brands to advertise their products and services"
Dr. Wilson also echoed comments he made in an interview with the Train2Game blog last month, that increasing numbers of UK developers are producing games for online:
"UK games developers are extremely well positioned to take advantage of the new trend toward social gaming and digital distribution. TIGA's research indicates that 80 per cent of the new UK games businesses that have set up over the last two years are developing games for online digital distribution."
In last months' interview, the TIGA CEO also told the Train2Game blog that this switch to online distribution is potentially a positive development for students on Train2Game courses:
"A collection of Train2Game students working together to develop a game now have more options open to them. Five or ten years ago they would have had to work for hire and they would have had to convince a publisher to commission the game and sell and market it for them. Now they have other options, they can sell direct to the consumer through Facebook, over the internet and on mobile. So there are now more options available to Train2Game students who wish to develop games and create their own companies."
The Social Gaming Smart Pack report comes on the same day that games industry consultant Nicholas Lovell posted a huge article on Games Brief asking 'What is a Social Game?' Train2Game students would be well advised to have a read as it contains views on social games from many high profile figures in the industry. One of the over two dozen games industry luminaries asked is Game Designer Jon Hare who was part of the Third Official Train2Game live webinar panel.
Lovell himself talked to the Train2Game blog last month about a number of issues including social gaming. The interview is almost essential reading for Train2Game students!
With the report from EConsultancy suggesting social media is on the rise, a small team of Train2Game students who produce a good game could potentially find that takes off thanks to how relatively simple it now is to distribute a product online.
So Train2Game, what are your thoughts on the report? How often do you play social media games? Could you see yourself producing one in the future? And with regards to the Games Brief article, what do YOU think is definition of a social game?
As usual, you can leave your thoughts here on the Train2Game blog, or on the Train2Game forum.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

6th Annual Davey Nelson Celebrity Golf Classic a Hit Again!
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to play in the Davey Nelson Celebrity Golf Tournament at the beautiful Irish Course at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin.
This was the sixth year of Davey's tournament, but just the second at the Irish Course (in previous years, it's been played at Blackwolf Run).
Upon check-in, participants were provided with assorted goodies, including a pullover, duffel bag and umbrella (which fortunately we didn't need out there on the course!)
Then, the morning started off with golf pros walking the line at the driving range and a putting contest, along with a buffet brunch.
Each foursome in the tournament was paired with a celebrity golfer to make up a five-person team. Team play consisted of a Scramble Format with team prizes awarded to the top finishers.
Among the many celebrities in the tournament were current Brewers personnel and alumni players: Craig Counsell, Robin Yount, Ken Sanders, Gorman Thomas, Jay Aldrich, Jerry Augustine, Jim Gantner, Paul Wagner, Mike Caldwell, Scott Podsednik, Greg Vaughn, Wes Obermueller, Brady Clark, and Willie Mueller; Randall McDaniel, Former NFL player; Greg Matzek, radio personality; Greg Meyer, NFL Referee; Tony Smith, a former Milwaukee Bucks player; and Craig Coshun, sideline reporter for Fox Sports Wisconsin.
It was fun to mix and mingle with everyone, including having the opportunity to catch up with Scott Podsednik and Brady Clark:
My group consisted of our celebrity, Greg Meyer, a NFL referee and longtime friend of Davey's and Mike, Dan and Joe Stanislawski, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The tournament was a shotgun start, so our group began on hole 8, a par five. We got off to a great start with a birdie, but we never really got into a great rhythm after that. Aside from a couple that Greg sank for us, it was one of those days where the putts just wouldn't drop.
But, we had a ton of fun, which is the most important thing! We finished the day at -3 (69), which was good, but not good enough to win the tournament.
Each hole also consisted of different challenges with opportunities to win various prizes for things like longest drive, longest putt, or closest to the hole. Someone even had a hole-in-one on one of the par-3's!
We didn't mind at all because despite an early threat of rain (and a downpour on the way home!), we had wonderful weather, a fun day, the chance to play a beautiful championship course and, most importantly, we were helping a great cause: Open Arms Home for Children in South Africa and Brewers Community Foundation. Open Arms is a non-profit organization that provides shelter, clothing, protection and basic healthcare for what is now home to many children orphaned due to the Aids epidemic in South Africa. Davey has served as Board of Director for over four years.
Following golf, there was a reception and silent auction, followed by a live auction.
During dinner, we learned more about Open Arms and heard stories about the children whose lives we were helping, all by taking a day off of work to play golf.
My boss, Tyler Barnes, VP of Communications, was on hand to speak about his personal experience at Open Arms as he and his family had visited South Africa over the holidays.
The entire presentation was very touching and moving and I'm so happy that this event has been able to raise money to support the organization, which Davey and many others have dedicated a lot of time and energy into making a success.
For more information on Open Arms, please visit the website at http://www.openarmshome.com.
Here are some more photos from the day and I hope to see you out at the tournament next year!

All teams for the tournament will be comprised of a five-person group, and play will consist of a Scramble Format with team prizes awarded to the top finishers. Registrations are being accepted as a foursome and a celebrity golfer will be paired with each group to make up the five-person team. Registration fees are $2,700 per foursome. A golf clinic led by American Club golf pros and a putting contest will take place at 9:00 a.m., and a buffet brunch will be served prior to the start of the tournament. The tournament is limited to 30 foursomes. For those who do not plan to golf, tickets to the reception/dinner only are available for $150 per person.
An additional preview event is scheduled for Sunday, June 29, consisting of a golf experience at Whistling Straits Straights Course followed by a cocktail reception and dinner at the Championship Locker room. Rates for the preview event are $6,300 per foursome and includes Monday's event.
Proceeds will benefit Open Arms Home for Children in South Africa and Brewers Community Foundation.

When We Last Saw Them: Persu, formerly known at Venture One, was working to bring its three-wheeled concept car into physical reality.
The Changes: Fear of saying anything on record that might interfere with attempts to find funding have driven Persu into silence recently. One source says the team still plans to enter the X-Prize race with the three-wheeled vehicle which can get up to 60 in 6 seconds and bank up to 45 degrees as it corners--the same one it has been promoting for the last six months. When asked if that car had undergone any changes, Persu Founder and Chief Operating Officer Howard Levine stayed true to the team's silence: "I cannot comment one way or the other."
The Bottom Line: We received "no comment" to our questions and there has been nothing new but artist renderings to officially come out from the company. Despite all this, they are still entrants to watch out for--if their safety features hold true.

Website analytics offers answers to questions you have about your visitors, and helps you gauge and improve the success of your website and advertising campaigns. By studying your web analytics, you can recognize at which step of your website process your visitors left your site, so you know where to make the necessary adjustments to keep them on your site. For example, a visitor may have entered your site at the Home page, clicked on a link or tab for another page, and then exited. If multiple visitors do this, it would indicate that copy or design changes to your Home page and the other page are needed. If your visitors are not going where you want them to go on your site, or doing what you want them to do when they are there, you need to do something with your copy or design to move them to a point of sales conversion.

EBACE2014: Cabin Crew Conference Provides Educational Opportunities for Crewmembers
April 12, 2014
The 2014 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE2014) will again feature the EBACE Cabin Crew Conference, an educational opportunity for cabin crewmembers and those who supply services to the cabin sector.
The one-day conference is held on Monday, May 19, the day prior to the official opening of EBACE2014, which runs May 20 to 22 in Geneva, Switzerland. NBAA's European Corporate Flight Attendant Committee, a subcommittee of NBAA's Flight Attendant Committee, developed this program to include issues relevant to business aviation cabin crewmembers, including safety, security, service and training. The conference combines technical insight and knowledge with light-hearted and motivational presentations.
"Cabin crewmembers can play a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of business aviation operations and passengers if they are properly trained. This conference aims to provide a wide breadth and depth of knowledge to these often over-looked resources," said Jay Evans, NBAA's director of professional development.
Brian Humphries, president of the European Business Aviation Association, and Paul Milverton, NBAA's chair of the European Flight Attendant Committee and GAMA Aviation's Cabin Training and Safety Manager, will open the session with an update on the European regulatory environment. Dr. Walid Phares, an author and international security specialist, will provide insights on strategic threats to worldwide business aviation operations.
Corporate Flight Training's Director Yasmin Milner will share expertise in food safety, and provide attendees with food handling and preparation standards. Milner will also provide insights into how to work with restaurant and catering organizations to have a successful flight. Attendees will also learn how to overcome cultural and language differences when placing catering orders, selecting foods and ensuring quality passenger service.
Doug Carr, NBAA's vice president of regulation and international affairs; Jean Marc Cluzeau, the European Aviation Safety Agency's head of rulemaking – flight standard department and Dannys Famin, Unijet's chief operating officer, will update attendees on the proposed rulemaking process on establishing crew duty and rest times for air crews. Finally, all attendees will be invited to ask questions and share their perspectives to enhance business aviation operations in Europe.
"Our goal for the EBACE Cabin Crew Conference is to be a single, integrated resource for European business aviation flight attendants and other cabin crewmembers," said Evans. "This conference is unique because of the vast cultural backgrounds of attendees. Some of the greatest learning opportunities are in the networking lunch, breaks and closing reception."

Source: A report on the Web site of Australian lifestyle and tech magazine Smarthouse cites a Sony insider as providing information that the company might be planning a PlayStation 4 to release in as little as 18 months.
What we heard: Upon first glance, the very suggestion that Sony would release the PS4 in the next year and a half is absurd. The company invested heavily into the research and development of the PlayStation 3, and there's functionally no way it could make its money back and justify that expense after only a couple of years on the market.
Sony has also been vocal about wanting to extend the life span of its consoles to a decade, something that isn't likely to happen if the PS3 only has two years as the company's premiere offering. And then there would be the resulting looting, riots, and pillaging (hyperbole used for effect) from Sony fans who shelled out $600 for the latest and greatest on layaway, only to have it become old news by the time it was paid off.
However, if one were to keep reading the article, one might suspect that it is not in fact about the PlayStation 4, but about something more akin to the Xbox 360 Elite.
"The device will include the same chipset as the current PS3 but where it will differ from the current model is in the drive bay and in the attachment area," the article reads. "It will also include an extensive software suite for the managing of content being streamed to a TV or Hi-Fi source. In addition, Sony is working on improving the output experience so that the device can become a true home entertainment centre eliminating the need for a media centre."
Unless Sony's marketers have gone nuts, they aren't likely to label a machine with the same chipset and a small array of new features as the PS4. This sounds more like a simple redesign and a firmware upgrade, the sort of changes that could reduce costs for Sony but not even justify a different name or casing for the system. Even if it does wind up being a new PlayStation product, expect something along the lines of the PSX, the combination PlayStation 2-digital video recorder released exclusively in Japan in 2003.
The official story: "This is purely a speculative report. We haven't made any announcements regarding future platforms and are focused on the current and future success of PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 3." --A Sony spokesperson.
Bogus or not bogus?: Bogus.

in 2011 got a fig called Alma Texas A&M, it grows well and had some fruit last year but they did not ripen. this year I have 12 fruits and today I tried a nice ,good sized dark soft one, YUK it was awful dry and pithy but it sure looked pretty,( i would take a picture but I don't know how to post it) does anyone know anything about this fig if the other fruit ripen and are still dry and pithy, I am getting rid of it.or should I give it another year. I have it in a large nursery pot. |

Different growing conditions of soil and weather makes difference. I have Alma in 7 gallon pot. The breba fruit on Alma ripened in August and they were good. The main crop is expected to ripen here in zone 5a by the end of September or early October. Don't discard and give it more chance with more care (watering /fertilizing/pruning/pinching etc.. |
Thanks ottawan, i'll give it another chance, it gets pampered, i wonder why it's pithy and dry. maybe it needs more fertilizer, i know it gets water, pruned and pinched. I think maybe it needs root pruning when it goes dormant, it's pretty tight in the pot. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Monti (courtesy)!
Facts about Monti (courtesy)
- Breed: Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Monti (courtesy)'s Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
Sweet Monti is a very special little guy! He is loving ,affectionate and social with all animals.
Other Pets at Luv of Dogz Fund Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Monti (courtesy), a Scottsdale Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Labrador Retriever for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Cardigan Welsh Corgi/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

Description: Developing countries face many of same tax challenges as more developed countries, but they have many fewer resources with which to deal with these problems. We will examine several key issues in the design and implementation of tax systems in emerging countries, ranging from the challenges arising from globalization to the roles and limitations of taxation as an instrument in growth and redistribution policy. Consumption taxes are more important in revenue terms, but income taxes are central in the international context, so both will be discussed. Attention will also be paid to the critical roles of the institutional setting and especially tax administration in affecting the extent to which and the manner in which desired policy outcomes may be achieved through tax policy in particular countries.

I have some of those small bumpy gourds(sorry, name escapes me) and was wondering if anyone has dried them and used them for rattles, etc...can they be dried like the birdhouse gourds? any thoughts or ideas appreciated
Thanks, tammy |
Follow-Up Postings:
check out the gourd forum for info on how to dry them. |
- Posted by gourd_friends z5/6 IL (My Page) on Tue, Nov 12, 02 at 1:14
Hi Tammy, We have dried ornamental gourds for Christmas ornaments, etc. I have read that there is a mixture of borax and water that you can dip them in and help them dry, but we found that scraping the colored skin off, then letting them dry works very well. We use a paring knife that is not real sharp, and scrape, scrape, scrape. Be careful not to cut into the gourd flesh, as this will cause it to rot. They won't take too long to dry, but we put them in our little green house to speed things along. It will probably take a month or maybe a few weeks longer. When they are dry they can be drilled, painted, stained, or, whatever. They make beautiful tree decorations. Good Luck, |
This year, for the first time, I've grown very large gourds (the bird house type). The largest is about 30 lbs. BIG, huh?! I've received quite comprehensive instructions on how to dry them but not WHEN. I need to know WHEN to dry them. The vines are probably nearly half-way dried, on their way out. I had continued to water them until yesterday. If someone can enlighten me I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Judy |
Judy-Congrats on your gourd growing success! It's best to leave them on the vine as long as possible to dry. If you cut them, leave some stem and hang them in an area that has very good ventilation, to dry. Check out the gourd forum for more info. if needed. |

"The peak of this problem was the end of January, beginning of February," Rosenfeld said.
The virus hit Empire later than it did other plants because the massive, vertically integrated kosher poultry firm gets its chickens from its own farms. Unlike the farms that serve other slaughterhouses, Empire's farms apparently remained disease-free until early this year.
The prohibition against eating birds with broken tendons, or tzomes hagidin, is deeply rooted in Jewish law. Yet broken tendons were not often a problem in North American birds, so kosher slaughterhouses traditionally didn't check to ensure that the tendons were intact.
That changed in 2012, when kosher monitors at the KJ Poultry plant in Monroe, N.Y., began to notice a high number of broken tendons. At the worst point in the outbreak, the plant found that 6% of its slaughtered birds were unkosher, according to a representative.
KJ Poultry officials informed the O.U. of the growing problem. The O.U. instructed other plants to inspect the first 200 birds in each delivered flock and then to inspect every single slaughtered bird if that sample showed more than a 2% rate of broken tendons.
Insiders say the outbreak caused significant stress in the industry. Naftali Hanau, owner of the boutique kosher meat firm Grow and Behold, said that the slaughterhouses he dealt with during the summer of 2012 were panicked. "I would be calling to try and schedule my processing… and they would say to me: 'We had 15% or 20% of our chickens today go treyf, I can't talk to you right now.'"
Chickens with broken tendons can be sold as nonkosher, but they fetch lower prices and present other logistical challenges to meat sellers.
Dunn said that breeder chickens have been vaccinated against various strains of avian reovirus since the 1980s. Some of these viruses can cause damage to chicken tendons. Beginning in February 2012, a new strain of the virus that couldn't be controlled by the available vaccines began to appear at chicken farms throughout Pennsylvania. "I would say that it affects multiple, multiple farms," Dunn said.
The virus causes only slight damage to the chicken. Dunn suspects that the strain originated elsewhere but went unnoticed until the birds reached the kosher slaughterhouses served by Pennsylvania farms, where the virus's effect was seen in the kosher inspections.
Officials prepared a vaccine from samples of infected birds last September and began to treat flocks in October. "It was really not until January of this year that we had any significant proportion of progeny from the vaccinated breeders placed on farms to grow," Dunn said. "It's looked pretty good that this has been helpful."
With the advent of the vaccine, most chicken plants seem to have returned to normal. The KJ Poultry representative said that the proportion of chickens with broken tendons discovered after slaughter was now less than 0.5%.
Empire, which apparently has not yet been able to vaccinate its flocks, is now checking the birds for the virus before shipping them to the slaughterhouse.
"Instead of bringing in flocks of chickens that had the problem and testing them, [we are] finding out in the field," Rosenfeld said. The plant's yields of kosher birds are now back to normal, he told the Forward.
