Verical erosion through a classic volcanic field; near surface structure of scoria cones and maars
Alkali basalt
Dr. Larry Crumpler |
There is no other place on Earth where the interiors of young volcanoes are so well exposed as in the Rio Puerco. Cabezon is one of many massive dark peaks known as volcanic necks that are scattered throughout the Rio Puerco valley between Mesa Chivato and Mesa Prieta on the west and east, and San Luis and I-40 on the north and south. Together with Mesas Chivato and Prieta they are part of the Mount Taylor volcanic field, a cluster of several hundred small volcanoes. A few volcanic necks, including Cerro Alesna, occur on the west side of Mesa Chivato. Other examples around the south margin of the Mount Taylor field include half-sectioned volcanoes (east Grants Ridge) and deeply dissected volcanoes (Cubero volcano).
They are all the near-surface interiors of small volcanoes that are geologically young, yet were deeply dissected when the Rio Puerco cut a valley through the Mount Taylor volcanic field. Backwasting of the lava flows and erosion of the volcanoes themselves has exposed the complex interiors of many of the small volcanoes.One may see violent events recorded in their complex structure. The eruptions were similar to those that form small scoria cones, such as Capulin or Bandera volcanoes, and in some cases, similar to that which formed Zuni Salt lake or Kilbourne Hole.

Cerro Alesna is an unusual volcanic neck on the west side of the Mount Taylor volcanic field. Unlike most of the dark and craggy necks in the Rio Puerco Valley, Cerro Alesna has huge sweeping massive columns. This is an difficuylt volcanic neck to approach because of land access issues. But I suspect that it consists of an unusual type of volcanic rock, trachyte, benmoreite, or possibly mugearite, that makes the adjacent Mount Taylor volcanic field really unique and rather odd on the North American continent. These rocks types erupt rather viscously and tend to form large lava domes on Mesa Chivato, the part of the Mount Tayloir field due east of Alesna. Photo taken by Dr. Larry Crumpler |
East Grants Ridge (Half section scoria cone). Where else can you see a scoria cone naturally cross-sectioned? And to make the picture easier to see, the cone and its dark scoria sit on top of brilliant white ignimbrites from a nearby earlier rhyolite dome. The massive basaltic "plug" is actually more of a cork. It narrows down to a small dike only a meter or two wide at its base.The whole thing is like soemthing out of a volcanology textbook. It is the Grants, New Mexico "Mount Rushmore"! It is right next to the paved road in Lobo Canyo. This is a highlight for the volcano tourist. Photo taken by Dr. Larry Cumpler |

Why we love ''The Ashlee Simpson Show'''s star
WHAT SHE'S DOING Her MTV reality show is cozily scheduled right after sister Jessica's ''Newlyweds,'' but it probably didn't need the help. Raven-haired Ashlee replaces her sibling's whiny designer-handbag angst with weightier issues: chiefly, how can she prove herself as a serious singer-songwriter to those expecting Jessica's bubblegum pop?
WHY SHE'S HOT RIGHT NOW Watching the plucky onetime ''7th Heaven'' star struggle to extricate herself from her sister's shadow is compelling TV, and her music isn't bad, either. Her first album, ''Autobiography,'' debuted at the top of the charts this month.
BREAKOUT MOMENT The butterfly emerged from her cocoon when we saw the 19-year-old sing original material for the first time at Hollywood's Knitting Factory. After some initial fumbling (and almost taking a header across the stage), she found her inner rock star, bumping and grinding to the amazement of her bandmates. Even Jessica, blurry-eyed from laser surgery, lavished her with praise.

Component-based Architectures in Ruby and Rails

It's true that goods are better distributable when they are in packages. That is the common view of what Ruby gems and Rails engines are: packages for distribution. This perception misses the great value that comes from packaging without distribution. That is what makes component-based architectures: a helpful tool for organizing growing codebases. We'll talk about how to do this with (and without) Ruby on Rails. Ruby makes it a bit hard to do packages right: you really can't hide anything. Rails doesn't want you to do it. I don't care. We'll do it anyways and it will be awesome!

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) characterized American democracy as "the last, best hope of earth." For American Jews of his day, Lincoln himself was revered in much the same light. Not only did he emancipate the slaves and preserve the Union; he steadfastly defended the rights of its Jewish citizens in an age when anti-Semitism was commonplace. The very name Abraham, recalling the Hebrew patriarch, spoke to Jews of Lincoln's moral stature and his affinity with their fate.

Bar the Doors, St. Albans: Mayflower, 1977 (pictured bottom, left)
Bar the Doors, New York: Dell Books, 1983
Don't anybody move.
Here, selected by the master, are thirteen superlative tales designed to keep you frozen to your seat and written by the world's most ingenious creators of the weird, the shocking, and the fantastic.
(The use of that word superlative makes me grin every time. The blurb appears on both Dell F166 1962 & Dell 0436 1966.)
Bar the Doors is Hitchcock's second foray into the anthology field, and in my opinion among his strongest; certainly the strongest of the early books, though he likely had little or no input into this collection, ghost-edited by Don Ward.
I first read Bar the Doors when I was quite young, it may indeed have been my first Hitchcock anthology. The stories, for the most part, stand up well to today's standards; what they at times might lose to originality they have gained in writing. Reading these earlier suspense stories, whether they be of ghosts or strange island curses, it impresses me how much better our suspense writers were of old. Of course, at the time there were few stigmas associated with being a "genre" writer, so that Dickens and later Fitzgerald could create their own fantasies about haunted houses, railway stations or massive mountain-sized diamonds and people aging backwards and no respected literary critic would roll his or her eyes. It is the attitude toward genre writing that has (partially, of course) helped to damage the quality of genre writing.
Whatever the cause for our literary decline, it is true that we must read the masters in order to learn the craft, or simply if we desire a cozy little fright.
Introduction by Alfred J. Hitchcock (or somebody else, perhaps Don Ward).
I would like to reproduce this in its entirety, but copyright no doubt prevents me from doing so. Many of the introductions in these anthologies are brief and little more than introductory (and sometimes even less), yet this one is nicely detailed. "[T]he publishers asked me to bring together a group of tales which I admire because of their skillful handling of the element of terror." Hitchcock would be the person I too would turn to for such a grouping, and he (well, Don Ward really) does a fine job with the selections here, and in particular "The Storm," "The Kill," "Midnight Express" and "The Upper Berth" are perfect examples of the "skillful" treatment of terror and suspense. Some stories might appear a little dated in that their subject matter is by now all-too familiar, but I can imagine how in 1945 this little collection was such a great success for, as the blurb indicates, these are the "superlative" tales. Hitchcock/Ward points to the range of stories in the collection, acknowledging them as wide and hence not all readers might find each individual selection appealing, especially since the source of the terror is quite different in each of the pieces. He then proceeds to isolate the specific story elements that contain the terror, and this makes for a good read once the stories themselves have been read. It is always interesting to reflect on such details.
"Pollock and the Porroh Man" by H.G. Wells. (New Budget, 23 May 1895) 7/10
Published during one of Wells's most important years, which saw the publication of The Time Machine and his first two short story collections, it is not among his most popular stories. Not only is it overshadowed by other work, the story would struggle through any era of political correctness, no matter where its sympathies lie. The story is about an arrogant Englishman who receives a curse from the local Porroh Man while stationed in Sierra Leone. These kind of stories were common at the time as British officers stationed overseas were in a perpetual state of culture shock. (Perhaps the truly superlative story of the British overseas at the time was W. Somerset Maugham's 1924 story set in Malaysia, "The Outstation.") This story is sensitive to the locals despite the "othering" of these natives, and is undeserving of its obscurity. The story is well written, better than many of Wells's later stories when he often appeared to rush his work.
"The Storm" by McKnight Malmar. (Good Housekeeping, February 1944) 8/10
The epitome of the trapped-alone-at-home-in-the-middle-of-a-raging-storm tale, Hitchcock in his introduction refers to the author playing with "an old theme," so that even in 1945 the idea appears to have been overdone. (Incidentally, this is the most recent of the stories, published only a year before the anthology appeared.) Exceptionally well written, "The Storm" is a forgotten gem that many later stories attempt to emulate (perhaps as part of the collective unconscious?). A woman arrives at home a week early from a visit to her sister to find that her husband is out and it is of course late and a torrential storm is raging outside. Descriptions of the storm itself, combined with the woman's anxiety and perturbed, over-stimulated mind, are deftly delivered. Neat little clues are dropped to develop enough of a back story without lengthy, needless information; at times a simple phrase tacked onto a seemingly innocuous sentence. All of this is capped off with a great finish, and a particularly excellent last line. This story, because of its common theme, is the greatest example of the "skillful" writing of terror discussed in the introduction, because it is strictly the writing that transforms this common theme into something truly unique.
"Moonlight Sonata" by Alexander Woollcott. (The New Yorker, 3 October 1931) 7/10
A classic little ghost story that employs the once common trope of "so-and-so" told "so-and-so" who told me, in order to give evidence (illusion, really) of actuality. The story is brief and fairly simple, yet nonetheless effectively macabre.
"The Half-Pint Flask" by DuBose Heyward. (The Bookman, May 1927) 5/10
Like Wells's entry, this one is about an indigenous curse. On an island in South Carolina populated with the descendants of slaves, the socially conscious narrator must host an arrogant collector of American glass. The collector soon removes a precious artifact from a local cemetery, scoffing at the narrator's pleas about an ancient curse. Soon the locals disperse, and as we can imagine the truly unpleasant collector pays his debt to folklore. The story is a little too long and a little too dull, not to mention predictable. The author in no way tries to create ambiguity around the collector, instead creating a truly despicable character. Originally from South Carolina, Heyward possibly based the collector on someone, or some type of person he had encountered. Heyward is best known for a previous publication, his novel Porgy (1925), which the Gershwins immortalized by translating it into the superlative opera Porgy and Bess.
"The Kill" by Peter Fleming. (Creeps By Night, ed. Dashiell Hammett, NY: John Day, 1931) 8/10
On a foggy night, stranded in a station waiting for a train, a young man tells the story of his eccentric uncle, Lord Fleer. His uncle believes that all the heirs to his estate will fall victim to a curse planted by a bastard son. Fleming's writing is tight and this little gem is a great read and re-read. Reprinted occasionally over the decades, as in the first Pan Book of Horror Stories (1946), it could still use more of an audience.
"The Upper Berth" by F. Marion Crawford. (The Broken Shaft: Unwin's Christmas Annual, ed. Sir Henry Norman, London: Fisher Unwin, 1886) 8/10
"It is very singular, that thing about ghosts..." A classic if there ever was one; among my all-time favourite ghost stories. The narrator, a kind of abstract we, tells of a dull social gathering made interesting by an old sailor with the sturdy and reliable name of Brisbane. Many years ago Brisbane was at sea on the Kamtschatka, staying in a stateroom that is said to contain some force that has driven four men overboard. A classic tale in more senses than one, it might not appeal to a desensitized modern audience wanting blood and gore, but had I been in that stateroom, I would likely have been the ship's fifth victim.
"Midnight Express" by Alfred Noyes. (This Week, 3 November 1935) 8/10
Poet and essayist Alfred Noyes has left behind a surreal and dark little story with "Midnight Express." At a railway station a man is suddenly struck with the memory of a book he tried to read as a boy but was never able to get beyond page 50, due to an inexplicably troubling illustration of a man standing underneath a lamppost in a darkened railway station. I wrote a lengthier review of this one which, should you be interested, lies somewhere around here.
"The Damned Thing" by Ambrose Bierce. (Tales from New York Town Topics, 7 December 1893) 8/10
Among Bierce's most anthologized stories, it is also certainly among his very best. At a coroner's inquisition a reporter tells of the truly singular events that led to the death of a local man while he was out hunting. I can imagine the stir this little treasure would have made back in 1893 (though in some parts overshadowed by another publishing phenomenon that occurred the same month: Sherlock Holmes's death!).
"The Metronome" by August Derleth. (Terror by Night, ed. Christine Campbell Thomson, London: Selwyn & Blount, 1934) 5/10
Easily the weakest story in the collection, I can't help feel that it just doesn't belong. A woman is at home the day before her stepson's funeral, and believes she can hear the ticking of the boy's metronome. I have never been a fan of Derleth's work, and this was the first I'd read many years ago when I first read Bar the Doors; I didn't like it then, nor did I enjoy it upon re-reading.
"The Pipe-Smoker" by Martin Armstrong. (The Fortnightly Review, October 1932) 7/10
The Fortnightly Review (the child of Anthony Trollope) most likely printed this piece in time for Halloween. The story tells of a man who seeks refuge from a raging rainstorm at a hermit's desolate home. While seated with his distracted host, the man listens to the tale of how the hermit's predecessor came to be in such a lonely state. A creepy and surreal little story; a nice find and another short work that needs to somehow be re-awakened.
"The Corpse at the Table" by Samuel Hopkins Adams. (Saturday Review of Literature, August 1942) 7/10
Journalist Adams presents us with a tale that he introduces as a possible folk tale. Two men, Estelow and Carney, are caught in a blistering snow storm and by following some telegraph lines make their way to a cabin where they take shelter. In the tradition of Robert W. Service's 1907 poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee," one of the men, Carney, while sickly and dying, finagles a death promise from his companion. In this version, he asks that his friend not bury him unless undoubtedly certain that he is dead. Strange things occur in what is essentially an early modern zombie tale, depending of course on your interpretation of the story. Well written, much of its power is rendered from the sense of loneliness and isolation experienced by Estelow, his caring for the sick Carney and the unimaginable psychological horror he must have suffered by Carney's corpse.
(Interestingly, Adams received $750 from Reader's Digest for the initial publication of the story in Saturday Review of Literature, and an additional $500 a month later for a reprint. How times have changed. If only my reviews can fetch such sums.)
"The Woman at Seven Brothers" by Wilbur Daniel Steele. (Harper's, December 1917) 6/10
In a lonely lighthouse, the assistant keeper becomes steadily fearful of the keeper's young wife. The story is quite familiar but at the time would still have been somewhat less common. A little too long for what it is, it is nonetheless a good read.
"The Book" by Margaret Irwin. (The London Mercury, September 1930) 8/10
An unremarkable middle-aged lawyer discovers a book on a shelf at home that seems to move about on its own, changing position. Though in Latin he is determined to read it, and soon his practice begins to grow, while his perceptions of the world around him begin to change. The only woman featured in the anthology, Irwin does a wonderful job with this story. I don't always enjoy this kind of demonic supernatural story, but this one is well written and suspenseful.

Wild Book Review + Giveaway Winner!
26July 27, 2012 by Katie
Good morning everyone! (or afternoon depending on when you read…) Who's excited that today is Friday!!! I am!! Only two more weeks left at my internship and then I'm headed home for a couple days! I'm very excited for the break, and going back to my student schedule rather than this whole 9-5 thing. I've definitely gotten used to it, but I still can't say I'm a fan… Haha.
**Edited to Add:
Giveaway winner!!!!
The winner is: kbwood "I like drinking water with a little bit of lemon! And VERY cold!"
Please send me and e-mail and we'll get you your gift certifiicate!
So I've been getting back into the reading groove recently and I have a new book review to share with you!
The book for Julie's book club this month is Wild by Cheryl Strayed. I was really excited when this book was chosen because it sounded like it would be a really interesting story. I clearly REALLY wanted to read it because after seeing that I would never get it from the library I ordered it online… and it was stolen out of my lobby. We have issue with someone stealing packages, and apparently they thought mine looked appealing. What's a girl to do? I was very frustrated but I WANTED to read this book! So I bought the e-version and read it on my iPhone! Paid for twice. Worth every penny.
I really, really enjoyed reading this book. I never felt like there was a dull moment, I hated having to put it down! The book describes not only Cheryl's 1100 mile solo hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, but also how she dealt with the death of her mother. The story switches back and forth between Cheryl's hike and the story of how she ended up on that trail, including her childhood, her mother's sudden death from cancer and her subsequent unraveling.
The Pacific Crest Trail runs from Mexico into Canada, along the Rocky Mountains. Cheryl decided that she needed to hike it, and hike it alone. She chose a section of the trail and headed out, with only a few months of preparation and no hiking experience other than a rustic upbringing.
What I loved about this book was how honest it felt. Cheryl didn't hide anything, her emotions and thoughts were open and raw for the reader to see. You felt like you knew Cheryl, that you understood her journey. Not only was her character intriguing, but she met so many interesting people along the way. The camaraderie among those who hike the Pacific Crest Trail was apparent immediately and she came across quite an abundance of characters. One thing that bothered me about the book was that she kept getting off the trail, but after a while I realized that all the experience she had and the people she met were the point of the story, not just accomplishing the hike.
I loved this book so much that it inspired me to do my own little hike! As I mentioned last week, I'm going to hike up Pike's Peak in a few weeks by myself with very little hiking experience. I am SO EXCITED. Haha, my trip is only 13 miles, but I know it will be a great experience nevertheless.
Have you read a book that inspired you recently?
What are you doing this weekend?

Thanks for the review. I just purchased it on my Kindle when I saw it suggested for Julie's book club. It sounds like the kind of book I am going to love! So many books, so little time but your review made me anxious to start it! — Ericka @ The Sweet Life (sweetlifeericka.com)
This is next on my reading list. I am full of shame in this confessions, but I read Kris Jenner's "Everything Kardashian" book. It was entertaining. On a less embarrassing note, I started the Chrissy Wellington book yesterday and I am hooked. A non-athlete turned 4 time Ironman champion-yes please!
Aw, Katie's awesome so I'm glad she won haha but I do want to read that book!
I love books like inspire you! Thanks for the review, I'll have to add this next on my list, I have to finish 50 shades first! ha Yes I jumped on that bandwagon! ha

I've heard nothing but good things about this book. I definitely need to read it. I looove books that inspire me. Thank you for the review!
I read the beginning of this book when I was in a bookstore in Seattle. I wanted to buy it but it was $25.00. I should've just bought it because I didn't want to put it down. I'll have to get it from my library ASAP!
So many family members and friends encouraged me to read this book, so I started it about a week ago. Not to be a debbie-downer but I'm about halfway through it and I'm not LOVING it. It frustrates me how little planning she put into her trip and I think she appears very ditzy sometimes.
You are right, it is very honest and I guess I like that. I would like to do a hike of my own someday. I still continue to read it for a couple minutes each night though, so I guess it's not that bad!

Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling (Paperback)
by Richard L. Bushman
Ships in 2 to 3 business days
Domestic and International Shipping Options
Product Description
While many "experts" continue to view Joseph Smith as a controversial figure, renowned scholar (and Latter-day Saint) Richard Bushman locates Joseph in his historical and cultural context, fleshing out the many nuances of nineteenth-century American life that produced such a fertile ground for emerging religions. While this book stands in the intersection of faith and scholarship, it does not avoid the problematic aspects of Smith's life and work, such as his practice of polygamy, his early attempts at treasure-seeking, and his later political aspirations. In the end, Smith emerges as a genuine American phenomenon, a man driven by inspiration but not unaffected by his cultural context.
About the Author
Richard L. Bushman a general editor of The Joseph Smith Papers along with Ronald K. Esplin and Dean C. Jessee, is Gouverneur Morris Professor of History Emeritus at Columbia University. He has been appointed Howard W. Hunter visiting professor at Claremont Graduate University for 2008–2009. He received his B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University. He taught at Brigham Young University, Boston University, and the University of Delaware before joining the Columbia faculty. His published works include From Puritan to Yankee: Character and the Social Order in Connecticut, 1690–1765 (1967), King and People in Provincial Massachusetts (1985), and The Refinement of America: Persons, Houses, Cities (1992). He has served as president of the Mormon History Association and the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic.
A disservice to the Smith Family
by Customer - reviewed on July 14, 2006
Bushman obviously spent much time in researching for this book however he was seduced by the anti-authors whom he copiously quotes and footnotes. He was obviously trying to have his book accepted by the academic world and wrote for that audience. He took the comments from neighbors and the trends of the time and attributed them to Joseph and his family. He states the Smith's had a 'psychologically crippled child' and he states Father Smith was useless and the family had rejected him, which nothing could be further from the truth. Father Smith was a Spiritual giant as recorded by contemporaries, etc. Regarding the charge of an affair in Kirtland, he states there is no evidence or written record of the person being named but then spends pages quoting anti-authors as to who the lady was and that it did happen. He spends many pages in his book citing and 'proving' the negative aspects and ascribing such to Joseph and his family but then comes back in a few short sentences saying...'but he was a Prophet.' He took the very comments Joseph says were being falsely circulated about his family and sets out to say they are true because it then makes the Smith family 'fit' in and be like their neighbors. The point is they were not and that is why the Lord could use them and why they were persecuted. This book does a real injustice to the Smith family and to Joseph. I cannot recommend this book.
I strongly recommend this book.
by Tim - reviewed on January 13, 2008
This book has been controversial because of its varied acceptance in the LDS community. Perhaps I expected more because of all of the hype. While I didn't read this book in hopes that all controversial issues would be the focus, I did read it hoping that they would be addressed at least more sufficiently than they were. Where detail may be lacking in significant events in Joseph's life, he does an excellent job in filling in gaps between these events. He provides a more clear window into the life and humanity of Joseph Smith, and shows Joseph growing into his prophetic roll, as a 'rough stone rolling.' His research is reflected strongly in his book, and where Bushman is well researched, his biography is profoundly articulate. The perspectives he brings to the table are unique on many subjects, and almost turns historian-apologist in some places. I couldn't imagine some of the points that he makes to be more clear, precise, and profound than they are. Where Bushman is on, he is dead on. When he strikes gold, it is the pirates treasure trove. Overall, despite my complaints, I recommend this book. While I have my own complaints, I believe that any study on Joseph Smith would be incomplete without having read this book.
One of the best!

Excellent! This and Lucy Mack Smith's history on Joseph Smith should be read by all Joseph Smith enthusiasts.
A thorough exploration of the life of Joseph Smith.
by Garth - reviewed on March 13, 2006
I appreciated the thoroughness of Dr. Bushman's research and his willingness to explore all aspects of Joseph Smith and his relationships with his family and associates. That being said, I must also say that I had one overarching concern while I read this book. Namely, I thought that many of Dr.Bushman's attributions, interpretations, and assumptions, in large measure, did not adequately portray or convey Joseph's prophetic mantle, ministry, and mission. But let me reiterate that I definitely respect the level of scholarship it took to produce a book of this caliber.
by cameron - reviewed on December 24, 2006
I see the book as a manifestation of what historians do. They do not make judgement calls. Is Joseph a prophet? Is what he what did right or wrong? Is it all true? Not the historians problem. Bushman just gives what happened and tries to portray Joseph through the manuscripts. I think most critics of this book are viewing Joseph as he exists beyond the manuscripts, personal Holy Ghost given testimony. History is about telling us Jospeh as a man, Church, theology, spiritual experience are telling us Joseph as a Prophet.
by Customer - reviewed on July 24, 2006
I have felt for years that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, but I had a lot of questions about his life. I did not feel like I knew who Joseph Smith was or why his critics attacked him. I often could not help wondering in the back of my mind if there might be some merit to their claims. Bushman has presented the facts clearly. His research is impecable and as objective as a believer can be. He answered my questions about aspects of Joseph Smith's life that today would seem strange, or controversial. I now feel like I understand much better Joseph's talents, gifts, personality, and family. I am amazed at the work that the Lord was able to do through him despite the chaos of the times and circumstances. I know now much more surely than before that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that the doctrines revealed through him truly were of God. The truths of the gospel that I love so much were revealed through a man who sought to do the Lord's will in all things.
A Gospel Classic
by Nick - reviewed on March 20, 2007
It will not be very long before this book is in the homes, minds, and bookshelves of the majority of Saints who are interested in learning about Church History. Rarely does a book come along that not only is true to the Historical aspect of biographies (where they just tell things like it is, and that's it), but also appeals to the spiritual, inspirational side as well. Bushman shows Joseph in his true colors as an imperfect person like ourselves, the only difference is he had a Prophetic calling. It feels like you grow up with young Joseph as he tries to figure out his place in the plan of the Father while still trying to grow up in the first place. My favorite chapters in the book are the ones about the Book of Mormon, Moses, Enoch and Joseph, and then the one about polygamy. No one has ever written with such clarity on such 'controversial' aspects of Joseph's life like Brother Bushman does. Out of the many hundreds of religion-related, books I have read, I would rank this as my second favorite--The infinite Atonment being first.
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
by Martin - reviewed on September 07, 2007
If you have any desire to read this, it would be better to read The Myth Makers by Hugh Nibley first. For Nibley is by far a superior and more recognized scholar, not only in LDS circles, but also one of the most respected scholar/author's in the world. He touches on similar subjects with clarity and both deep scholastic knowledge and his references are taken from his own research from original sources, not relying on the work of others as this book often does.
This book brought me back to the Church
by Theodore - reviewed on September 17, 2008
I came across this book while I was estranged from the Church due to my own moral failings. I didn't see the simpleness and the complexity of the Gospel and its messenger until I had read this book. When I was first converted to the gospel, it was because of the testimony of Joseph Smith, and through the diligence of academic thought Bushman utilizes (I am a trained historian myself), I became convinced again of the Lord's divine restoration. This is a profound and complicated work sure to cause controversy with some of it's assumptions and conclusions, but I would exect nothing less written about a man whose experiences have changed the face of modern Christianity.
by Customer - reviewed on July 02, 2009
The author is a Harvard Ph.D historian and a believing member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This book presents a detailed historical analysis of Joseph Smith. The book does not seek to increase or destroy the reader's testimony. It just seeks to tell the historical story of Joseph Smith as it happened. The author leaves nothing out - any events or details about Joseph Smith, whether controversial or not, are explained, and the reader is left to make his/her own assumptions. A must read for any believing Latter-Day Saint, but a fair warning: this is not a "black and white" testimony that some teary-eyed ward member gives on Fast Sunday. If your testimony is based all on the heart and nothing from the mind and nothing from rational thought, you might have a hard time with this book. However, given the historical facts, one must deal with this information about Joseph Smith sooner or later. Personally, I embrace all the truth about the Prophet Joseph Smith, and this book did increase my admiration of him, and my testimony. It might not do that for you.
Solid, scholarly study on Joseph's life
by Ryan - reviewed on September 02, 2010
This is likely the best historical and balanced study on Joseph Smith's life in print. Richard Bushman as a historian strives for greater historical objectivity than is available from many other works about the Prophet, yet maintains his position as a faithful member with an active testimony (Bushman is a current patriarch and former Stake President). It does not shirk from providing a comprehensive view of the Prophet, including many facets that made Joseph human. This is not the "Primary" version of Joseph's history -- those having no interest in the human side of Joseph or those unable to tolerate some of puzzling aspects of early Church history (including plural marriage) may be better served by other books that take a more selective approach. However, those genuinely interested in a full rendering of the man and Prophet can find no better volume.
Succesfully walks the academic line without tarring and feathering Joseph Smith
by Chris - reviewed on April 28, 2010
Although some have used Bushman's biography as a scapegoat to leave the church, any damage done by this book is simply due to unrealistic expectations of Joesph Smith. Bushman presents an honest and fair portrait of the Prophet, admitting his bias as a church member, and explores not only Smith's life through letters, journals, and the accounts of others, but discusses key doctrines of the restoration as outlined in the Doctrine and Covenants. I find the academic approach refreshing and I don't feel Bushman reveals anything about Smith's life for shock value (as many others do), nor does he sympathize with anti-mormon views; rather, he builds credibility by including multiple perspectives, both positive and negative. Ultimately, Bushman prevails because he presents multiple views of the prophet, demands for an in depth look at Smith's life, and lets the reader decide for themselves.
A hard read, but a MUST read.
by spence - reviewed on November 18, 2010
As a missionary serving in the south I was confronted with anti-mormon literature constantly from people of other faiths. Although I did not let it get to me in the beginning I began to have a desire to really have a better historical knowledge of the PROPHET Joseph Smith. I have read many books about the prophet, each finding some new aspect or insight into his life but I must say this book presents a historical perspective unlike any other book about the prophet. Bushman does quote many other authors, even Anti-Mormons in the perspective times, but it allows for the reader to be taken back into a completely different time and understanding of America and its culture as well as an understanding of Joseph's pressures as an untutored boy rising to greatness. A sometimes hard read but I recommend the book because it answered questions for me that could only be answered the way Bushman does. Joseph Smith was indeed a rough stone rolling and was sculpted from an obscure boy to become a mighty prophet of God.
by John - reviewed on March 21, 2011
It's was an amazing journey reading this book. I got to know the real Joseph Smith, the flawed man. We've all received accounts of Joseph Smith throughout our lives. These accounts were subject to the interpretations and failings of those who gave us those accounts. Because of this, we usually get a very romantic account of Joseph's life, making us believe that he was super human somehow. I know I based my testimony on many of those stories. This book will give you the real Joseph Smith and allow you to contrast that knowledge with what you were taught as a child. It will affect your testimony, and you will have to rebuild it based upon the new knowledge you will receive. Then, your testimony will be built upon the real Joseph Smith, and not on the highly romanticized versions you heard as a child. Don't be afraid of truth! It will allow you to get even closer to our faith and its principles.
Deserves 10 Stars
by Customer - reviewed on April 30, 2011
I'm so happy Deseret Book carries this book. I've read this book twice, and it's really helped me understand and appreciate Joseph Smith: the human being who was also a prophet. Thanks Richard Bushman! I hope the lesson manuals at church start to reflect this sort of history. I think it would help a lot of people who are silently dealing with hard questions.
A Great History!
by David - reviewed on February 23, 2013
I have read through this book twice and every time I opened the book I learned something new that expanded my testimony and opened me up to new areas of study. This is a history book. I would not recommend this to everyone. If you want a testimony of the Prophetic call of Joseph Smith, there are many other books that will instill that testimony. Once you have a testimony of that truth, this book will strengthen your understanding of how he came to be the great man that he was. 5 Stars for sure.

As demand for the Range Rover Evoque continues around the world, employees at JLR's Halewood manufacturing plant are celebrating one year of production.
Twelve months ago, when the first vehicle rolled off the production line, the Evoque had already generated an exceptional market response with more than 18,000 advance orders from customers worldwide. This interest continues today with demand for the Evoque driving sales of almost 80,000 units in just nine months.
With more than 110 global awards under its belt, the Evoque has gained critical acclaim from customers and media alike. Crowned Top Gear Magazine Car of the Year, World Design Car of the Year and North American Truck of the Year amongst others, the Evoque continues to receive plaudits for its concept car looks, dynamic driving performance, class leading off-road skills and excellent cost of ownership.
This early success for Evoque has had a significant positive impact on the Halewood facility. In anticipation of the launch in 2011, the workforce was increased to more than 3,000 employees. In March this year, JLR announced it would recruit a further 1,000 employees to help deliver the increased volume of both Evoque and Land Rover Freelander 2, which is also manufactured at Halewood.
In just three years the workforce has trebled and the plant now employs more than 4,000 people.
Halewood Operations Director Richard Else, said: "The Evoque is an incredibly exciting vehicle that continues to turn heads. Sales of the Evoque remain strong across all markets and here at the plant we are working hard to meet this demand."
The Evoque is designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK with more than 75 per cent of production exported to more than 170 global markets - generating an estimated £2 billion in annual export value for the UK.
The all-new Range Rover Sport will make its global premiere in a ground breaking live drive through Manhattan, New York, on 27 March (AEDT).
The Land Rover Discovery 4 has been crowned 4X4 of the Year by 4X4 Australia magazine in a rigorous four-day test conducted by seven off-road experts in rural NSW.
Land Rover is continuing to champion British innovation and cutting-edge automotive engineering by unveiling seven new Electric Defender models at the Geneva Motor Show.

I have donated thousands of dollars to this organization and i was planning to hold a fundraiser for it in conjunction with my 50th birthday in 2010 at no expense to the organization but the executive director/founder became disgruntled when I asked about how its money is spent and whether she would appear at the fundraiser to speak on the illness. She then withdrew the organization from the fundraiser. She never publicly attempted to recruit volunteers to help do the fundraiser even though her organization would have been one of two beneficiaries. I should have done due diligence before I chose to include this organization in my fundraiser. Lesson learned.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I used its website support when I was getting treatment for a brain tumor.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Yoga Body Mind
February 15, 2013 Written by JP [Font too small?]The ancient practice of yoga in its many incarnations is more popular than ever before. But, based on my informal assessment, it appears that there is a widespread perception that yoga is primarily useful for issues pertaining to mental health. And, while it's true that yoga often promotes a more positive psychological outlook and clearer cognitive functioning, there's much more to it. Lately, a series of well designed, clinical studies have illustrated the emerging role of yoga in addressing physical ailments and complaints as well.
To my mind, the most impressive aspect of practicing yoga regularly is the stunningly wide array of potential health benefits. In recent months, papers presented in peer-reviewed medical journals reveal that practicing yoga 1 – 3 times a week reduces: a) the incidence of arrhythmias and other symptoms related to atrial fibrillation; b) anxiety, fatigue and pain disability is those living with rheumatoid arthritis; c) pain severity and improves coping ability in adults diagnosed with chronic neck pain, lower back pain and generalized pain relating to musculoskeletal conditions; d) perceived stress, sleep disturbance and other symptoms associated with restless leg syndrome. All of the previously mentioned studies go a long way in illustrating that yoga, in fact, assists in healing the body as well as the mind. If you have any of the previously mentioned conditions, I highly recommend that you look into the advisability of adding yoga to your health care routine.

LiveChat Fungasma!
Woohoo! Thanks to everyone for hanging out with us for our weekly livechat. We're about to go film this week's FAPFAP, and there's nothing like livechats to help get us pumped up and excited to go. Yay!
It's not the best time for Martina at the moment, because she just had some dental surgery done yesterday. Poor girl! We have to wait a week to see if everything's ok: if not, she's gonna need a root canal. Yay! Root canal's are the best!
Anyhow, the point of this isn't to complain. We just want to say thanks to you guise for coming out and playing with us, and getting us in great spirits for the rest of the day. We kinda wish we could do these everyday, now. But wouldn't that be boring for you afterwards? I dunno. Let's keep it at once a week for now.
So, thank you to you awesome Nasties for hanging out with us today, and thanks for the awesome packages from:
Jessica from Florida
Synnove from Norway
Chloe from Singapore
Leigh from Mississippi
So sorry to Synnove for butchering your name! Seriously: I've only seen the special o's with crosses through them in writing, but I never tried pronouncing it out loud. PFFFFT! People: please teach us how to say that letter, so we don't feel like embarrassed dummies next time.
Filed Under:
Live Chats-
Martina! Your hair reminds me of GD in fantastic baby :D
I wanna livechat too!!! But i never know when it is :( HELP!! D:
…I wanna LiveChat too :( But is never know when it is :( TAT
OMG Simon! When I go into college i'm taking Astronomy!!
Wait, you guise watch The Layover??? With Anthony Bourdain???????? :D
OMG! I love him! Been a fan of No Reservations since I was in middle school! Which was like almost ten years ago!
….dang. I'm getting old. :/ -
How do you get into livechat and how do you figure out when it happens?
When I first heard about this I immediately thought of Simon and Martina. But now I know that Simon's dream is to go to space, I have to share it.
Actually, I watch so many K-Pop videos that I've been served ads in Korean. It was a rather interesting experience to see an American horror movie trailer be narrated in Korean XD
Same here with the Ads except I see a Super Junior and More k-pop groups that I forgot performing some where.
I keep seeing this Korean Toyota ad. I'm like… I'm an American… getting an ad in Korean… for a Japanese car… <_< But I prefer the ads to be in Korean anyway.
I get the same thing! haha even a japanese one where I actually recognize the actor from a drama I watched called Gokusen.
That's rather funny, if you think about it XD
I have a big bag of Kinder eggs toys! In my childhood we even exchanged toys for collection. And now I've got this huge bag and don't know what to do with it ))
Martina, your hairdo was very pretty! It was the first thing I noticed when the video started :) Hope everything will be OK with your tooth!
The way you were calling Soo Zee was hilarious :D -
Oh, you should play "bean boozled game" with the idols in your future interviews!!! It will be fun )
I'm trying to picturing T-ara playing that game. Areum might just get very unlikely. Or Boram or Dani (That chick needs to Debut) Woops sorry for making this full of T-ara
Here in the states we don't have Kinder Eggs but we DID have something similar called a Wonderball. kind of a 90's kid thing. they got banned when i was pretty young (under 10) because someone wasn't watching their kid and they almost choked on a piece of candy -______- really the biggest difference was that the prizes weren't actually separated from the chocolate like they are in the kinder eggs. i remember one time biting into a wonderball and a bunch of the little hard candies inside fell out :(
you might ask kevin about them sometime, he might remember them.-
I really want to try kinder eggs x-x I hope Simon's right about the ban being lifted. Were wonderball's seriously banned? I LOVED those. It was candies on the inside, if they banned wonderballs why don't they just ban all small candies because it's the same thing @_@
Come to Florida! You can visit NASA, Disney World, and Harry Potter World. Oh, and have a Nasties meet up :D
YES! Oh my gosh, I'd cry T_T We have fun stuffs Simon and Martina!! :D
I missed this one too :( … I ques it was about 07:00(am?) here in Finland (not sure but that's what I calculated) and that time I was going to school. Anyways I did enjoy whatching it afterwards and it was funn like always :)
And so much congratulations for that you soon have 300,000 followers, I became so excited when I heard it. :3 -
Aijdfgjndokn you got our package (Florida/Space package) so quick! I did the Spudgy/Meemers cross stitch~ I'm glad you guys liked it :D I should have been able to watch this live but I went to sleep about 2 hours early because of illness D: The person who put the package together has family who work for NASA (My mom's mom also worked for NASA before she passed, and my uncle still works for NASA as well, but I didn't contribute the awesome NASA stuff). You might have read this in one of the notes but we're a Nasty group for our university :D There's more than just the 3 of us but a lot of people couldn't contribute to this package ^^
simon and martina your are so awesome and so funny
i miss you live chat today because here was 6 am so i have to go to work so see now with my friends and martina we love your hair so much
big love for all nasty here in cyprus -
Is it just my pc or does Spudgys coat look somewhat gray…? O.o
I guess I need to check my pc -.- …
Fun live-chat ^-^ i like how Martina did her hair , it looks cute and pretty ^^
Simon and Martina!
Here is my 100 % failproof way of pronouncing the Norwegian/Danish O with the cross through (my keyboard doesn't support Danish/Norwegian letters, meh) and the Swedish Ö, which is pronounced the same way.
One simple rule.
Both are pronounced phonetically similarly as i in bird.
So whenever you see the ö or Danish/Norwegian counterpart, think of bird.
OK, and fo the remaining 2 letter you might want to know about.
There is Å, the a with the ring over it, which sounds a lot like eau in the French beaux… as Canadians, I hope you have heard that sound before.
There is also Ä and the Danish/Norwegian counterpart which looks like a A and E mashed together, which is quite similar to E is best… currently I cannot think of any other word to say, so forgive me fellow Scandinavians, I know some of you will disagree to this last one.
Oh, and an interesting note. Denmark and Norway has the same alphabet, because Norway has been historically much closer to Denmark than to Sweden. Funny thing is, most of the people I know here in Sweden understands Norwegian better than Danish (unless you live in Scania, the souther part of Sweden). Also, few truly understands Finnish, even if Finland literally was a part of Sweden for around 800 years. But even if Finland is no longer Swedish since the beginning of the 19th century, still some schools want Finnish kids to learn Swedish.
Ps: If anyone from Finland reads this, know that no Swedes that I have heard of regards learning Swedish as a necessity, if you're not living in Sweden.
PPs: I hope, in regards to all Northern countries, that you will forgive this poor Swede if I got my history lessons
o with the slash kinda sounds like an o with umlaut, the two dots above it.
Its supposed to be synnøve?
Im from Norway and i hope this will help:-) btw its hard to explain how to spell norwegian names
Syn is lilke the sin part in since just that you put presser on the y
Ø is pretty hard but i think for people who dosent have this vocal so it isnt wrong to say o
The rest is just like its written dobbel n and u pronuciat e at the end
I hope this will help u guys and im a big fan:-) -
My friend and I discovered years ago that if you pour a pixie stick into a vodka and sprite it foams up in bright fun colours. Also it tastes pretty awesome. We nicknamed our drink the 'Fairy Wand' Geddit geddit *wink wink* *nudge nudge*… you know, because like, it's a PIXIE stick and you mix it with SPRITE and, and…. nm.
Kinder eggs remind me of wonder balls that we used to have. They had toys in them then it was switched to candy, after that they discontinued it.
every time i leave the states, i like stock up on kinder eggs and i look like some weird kinder egg hoarding psychopath. but if they lift the ban, then i don't have to! fab.
I could be wrong… I *think* "Synnøve" is pronounced sih-NO-vay
sih = short "i"
no = long "o" (ō)
vay = rhymes with "they" but with a v -
yay live chat!! I mailed you guys a letter about a week ago, so please look for it soon!! :) how many letters do you guys usually get?
I have one too! xD
Second time I was able to sit and watch the live chat. It's hard!!! The times never match up for me–but i still watch them afterward. I've watched so many of your videos I feel like we're friends. u_u We're NOT (I would like to be!) But that's how I feeeeeelllllll… Maybe one day I'll run into y'all in Korea or something~
Anyhoo~~ I have a suggestion I tried saying twice during the live chat today. That. Y'all should get a better webcam for these things. >> The quality only comes through in 360p vs your normal videos which go up to 1080p. It gets all blurry 'n stuff when I expand it to full size–and I'd love to be able to just watch it on my TV so I can tweet y'all from my laptop instead of my phone or ipad (just not nearly as quick!)
ALSO!!! I have got two of the same things before in my kinder eggs. They weren't exactly the same but they were like. siblings? from the same little family of things. It was surprising.
But. I love kinder eggs. And I hope I can find them at our local gourmet candy store…..
We're looking into options for this. We can't plug in our DSLR to the computer for this, so we're trying to figure out another way…
I know there are some good usb web cams… The one that I have is 5mp–not much, but possibly better than the one that is built into a laptop? I don't know.
It's too bad that the DSLR doesn't work as a web cam but I'm really not super surprised that it doesn't lol.
If I had the extra money… I'd buy you one and mail it to you. But I'm saving up so I can come teach in Korea~ :)
Iwould like to point out in korea you have spoke and showed us about sharing food from the same pot but Simon thinks its gross to share a stir stick with his friends? the EYK crew ate a strew/soup from the same pot and all used different spoons at least with a stir stick it hasn't been in anyones mouth before it goes in your drink (unless you like to like the foam off the stick first)
Feelin' the florida love :D I actually used to live in Titusville….it's pretty boring T_T lol but I remember seeing all the shuttles take off up close when I was little :) That was cool. The first time it happened though, not so much. It was in the middle of the night and the windows started shaking real loudly. I had no idea what was going on. I thought it was an earthquake! I saw that my sister wasn't there nor my mom, but the tv was on in the living room by itself O_O And the front door was open….I go outside and see that they're there looking at the shuttle T_T
My grandparents used to live in Titusville and we always went to Cape Canaveral and NASA when we drove up to visit them :D I can see shuttle launches from 3 hours south of Titusville on a clear day, too!
I always go to Cape Canaveral National Seashore Park whenever it was beach time. You can certainly see shuttles from a far on a good day. I used to work in Melbourne right off of US 1 and I could always see them pretty clearly. I agree I'm lovin the Florida love too!
You guys should try cheesy vegemite. I'am fine with vegemite but I like cheesy vegemite better. Cheesy vegemite is less salty and has cheese flavor. I find out the answer about the cds because it's so obvious those cds are stacked but youtube comments are loading like a sloth.
hmmm. Maybe Jesse and Jeana from BfvsGf should also see this.
The regular vegemite was a bit too overpowering, really. Cheesy vegemite sounds a lot better!
most people put too much on when they first try it. but cheesy-mite is great whether the cheese is melted or not.
I'll send you guys the one in the little package with biscuits and some mee goreng too for suzy. They sell mee goreng here at the supermarkets.
<3 the livechat and i didnt miss it! :D
Simon, perfect timing? (look at the pic) and Martina, u have ummmm.. nice (?) . .teeth.
by the way, i kept saying this on twitter, yesterday at school, I saw " I I I I lost my pants" written on a table xD
I was so glad to watch this haha C: It was my first livechat with you guys too xD Loooove<3
Thanks Michelle!
where did you Kondoot chats go…. I was going to watch them.
See more comments!

Swanee is a feminist and an advocate for children's rights. On my last morning at the ambassadorial residence last year, before leaving with a colleague to facilitate human-rights education workshops in Romania, Swanee brought together over a dozen Austrian women activists who work on women's rights, on refugee issues, on environmental degradation with The Greens, on human rights education, on genocide and Holocaust studies, and on international children's-rights initiatives. We ate breakfast as the children of the attendees played in the next room, and we shared the successes and failures in our efforts to promote justice and peace in this variety of endeavors.
Swanee is a great listener, a gift in almost any undertaking. She is firm and authoritative when appropriate, full of passion and compassion for the maligned and needy. She has used her considerable people skills, her own personal tragedies, her visionary work with the Hunt Alternatives Fund and the Women's Foundation, her organizational abilities, parenting experience, past musical and poetry performance opportunities, rich religious background, and gutsy trial-riding and marathon-running challenges to enhance her role as the face of the United States in Austria. Swanee even enacted a smoke-free policy at the U.S. Embassy and ambassadorial residence. And among her friends, Swanee's ecumenism is legend.
I am personally proud to have a friend of such talent and integrity in the Clinton administration's State Department. I only fear that any U.S. administration of either party will want Swanee on its diplomatic team and we won't have her back in Denver very soon.

Native Stun
Carroll Newberry, before you tell us what Native American studies are (Letters, May 2), you should take the class, and maybe you'll really learn something about Native Americans. You sound like a typical middle-class white kid who grew up watching cowboy-and-Indian movies on TV (judging from the scenario you give regarding us).
And I'm not anti-white.
E. Begaye
Carroll Newberry: I am not a Native American. I am also not a racist, uninformed, ignorant fool. If you are curious as to why these Native American studies courses are being offered, maybe you should take one. But since you asked, I will tell you. These classes are offered to give interested students a different perspective on indigenous people and their struggle in America, a perspective that we do not get in public schools or, as you claim, Boy Scouts or Camp Fire girls. The perspective we learn is an interesting one: It is called the truth. We learn that our beautiful, democratic country has committed genocide on millions of indigenous people, all in the name of civilizing them.
I was particularly disgusted by your comment that after we have acquired this knowledge, we "should go back to the reservation and slug Thunderbird and beat your tom-tom while you wait for unqualified Euro-Americans to send up a couple of truckloads of food and used clothing." It sure is a good thing that you qualify that statement with the fact that you are not anti-Native American. But I guess since you have an Indian friend, there is no way you can be anti-Native American. Using your perverted logic, because my mom is a female and someone I consider to be a friend, I cannot be sexist.
It is time for people like you to learn the facts, respect others for what they are and stop embarrassing your race. Yes, Indians did teach the "Pilgrims to plant corn and squash and roast turkey." And yes, they did get on with it. They got on with murder, deceit and broken promises. Maybe you should reconsider exactly what we should "get on with." Perhaps a good time for reflection would be on Thanksgiving Day, when you gather with family and friends and celebrate genocide.

Tyler Seguin takes a hit from Alexei Emelin, Zdeno Chara takes revenge that costs 17 minutes | 03.03.13 at 9:30 pm ET |
Montreal's Alexei Emelin hit Tyler Seguin with a check in the neutral zone late in the second period.
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara was on the ice and saw Seguin go down in a heap, holding his left side. Later in the same shift, Chara blew up Emelin with a check, that resulted in a fight between the two.
Chara was tagged with two minutes for instigating, five for fighting and 10 minutes for misconduct. In other words, the cost of sticking up for Seguin, who returned to the bench just moments later, was 17 minutes of ice time.
Benoit Pouliot saw Canadiens collapse coming, sees promising postseason with Bruins | 04.10.12 at 2:03 pm ET |
WILMINGTON — Benoit Pouliot's last postseason was a disaster. Bruins fans know that.
Though he set what was, at the time, a career-high 30 points for the Canadiens, Pouliot saw his minutes dwindle in the final games of the season before opening the playoffs as a fourth-liner. He didn't do much in the three games he played in the first round against the Bruins — zero shots on goal and less than eight minutes a night — and the only notable thing he did was run Johnny Boychuk in the corner in Game 3, resulting in Andrew Ference, to quote Jack Edwards, attempting to "rip his head off."
And that, to put it plainly, is where things ended for Benoit Pouliot and the Montreal Canadiens.
"After that hit, when I fought Andrew there, I knew," Pouliot said in a chat with WEEI.com Tuesday. "Well, I didn't know, but I didn't play the rest of the game, and then after that he just didn't put me back in. We were losing, 2-0, and I was trying to mix something up, but I guess he didn't like it and I went and sat on the bench."
The "he" to whom Pouliot referring is former Habs coach Jacques Martin. Pouliot has often spoken about the lack of confidence he felt Martin had in him, but the winger feels he's in the right situation now.
"All year long, I didn't have [many] breaks," Pouliot said of his final season with the Habs. "I felt like they didn't have confidence in me and didn't put me in situations that I was good at. It was just kind of all negative stuff, and it kind of sucked actually.
"But now, this year the coach gave me some chances and I tried not to mess it up too much. If I did, well, I didn't do it twice. You have some bad months, you have some good ones, but I think this year all things were good."
Pouliot still seems to have a bad taste in his mouth when it comes to Montreal. He was traded to the Habs in the 2009-10 season, and though he had 15 goals in 39 games with Montreal, he never felt the fit was quite right. Read the rest of this entry »
Brad Marchand: Sensational and significant | 12.20.11 at 10:32 am ET |
There are highlight reel goals. And, there are game-winning goals.
On rare occasions, you get both in one. Monday night, Brad Marchand gave Bruins fans a 2-for-1 holiday special with his deke-to-backhander that beat Montreal's Carey Price with just over five minutes remaining to put the Bruins up, 3-1. It turned out to be the difference when Erik Cole scored with 1:14 left as the Bruins hung on for a 3-2 win.
"Once I got my head up, he was already in the motion of poke checking, and I just pulled it around him, and luckily it went in," Marchand said.
Marchand was quick to thank linemate Tyler Seguin for his vision to see Marchand breaking down the slot for the goal.
"Well, once Segs got it, I saw [the defenseman] decided to go to him, and I was all alone, so I was hoping he'd get it through and he made the play to get it done," Marchand said.
All of this for a team know for scoring "dirty work" goals, fighting along the boards and finding a way to finish. On this night, the finish by Marchand was spectacular.
"I think sometimes people underestimate our team for the amount of skill we have, but, you know, we have a lot of guys who make great plays, and every now and then we get a nice goal," Marchand said. Read the rest of this entry »
Bruins exact revenge on Canadiens, record ninth-straight win | 11.21.11 at 10:28 pm ET |
Throughout much of the Bruins' current nine-game win streak, Boston grabbed victories by blowing out opponents. On Monday night, the Bruins proved they could win the close, low-scoring games as well when they shut out the Canadiens, 1-0, in Montreal.
The win moved the Bruins into second place behind the Penguins in the Eastern Conference and into first in the Northeast Division after residing in the basement of both the conference and division just 16 days ago. The last Bruins loss came at the hands of the Canadiens on Oct. 29 at the Bell Centre.
Tim Thomas made 32 saves to earn his second consecutive shutout, both of which came on the road. Defenseman Andrew Ference scored the only goal of the game on a wrister 15:41 into the first period. Rich Peverley and Chris Kelly recorded assists on the tally.
The Bruins will attempt to carry their win streak into double digits when they return to the ice on Wednesday in Buffalo.
– Ference ended Carey Price's six-period shutout streak 15:41 into the game with a goal on a cross-ice feed from Rich Peverley that Ference roofed over Price's glove. The goal was Ference's second in as many games. It came on a delayed penalty against Montreal, but the extra-attacker had yet to reach the zone.
– Thomas was outstanding in net on Monday night. He saw the puck extremely well and was in perfect position all night. Thomas made quite a few spectacular saves, including one at the end of the second period when he robbed Mike Camalleri on a power-play jam attempt. He proved how well he was tracking the puck when he snagged a Scott Gomez tip of a Camalleri shot that changed direction at the last moment.
– The Bruins penalty kill had to step up in big moments on Monday. They were tasked with stopping the Canadiens on a four-minute kill that bridged the second and third periods, and then, with Price getting pulled in the waning moments of the game, had to kill off a 6-on-4 for the final 1:39 of the game. The saying goes that a good penalty kill starts with strong goaltending, and although Thomas was strong in net, the Bruins defenders did an admirable job clearing out pucks and pinning plays against the boards. At the end of the second period, Daniel Paille proved the Bruins commitment to the penalty kill when he dove to clear out a puck despite being fresh off surgery for a broken nose.
– Former Canadien Benoit Pouliot put the Bruins' lead in peril with six penalty minutes off of stick penalties in the second period. Pouliot's second penalty, a four-minute double minor for high sticking, came less than three minutes after the end of his first. Bruins coach Claude Julien made Pouliot pay in the third by benching him for all but 13 seconds of the period.
– The Bruins were unable to sustain much offensive pressure throughout the game, and the top two lines were quiet for most of the night. Brad Marchand and David Krejci failed to put any shots on net. The Bruins in all barely tested Price, putting up 18 shots on the night. They were outshot 14-5 in the third period.
Patrice Bergeron: It's not all on the officials | 05.26.11 at 1:07 am ET |
TAMPA — Despite the suggestion by Claude Julien that the officials may have been influenced by Lightning coach Guy Boucher, center Patrice Bergeron said the Bruins need to take some responsibility for surrendering three power play goals.
"We have to stay disciplined against a team like them," Bergeron said. "Tonight, they did a good job on their power play but still, we could've been better on the power play.
"Obviously, there were a couple after the whistle and a couple during the play. There were a couple of interference [calls] and we were just trying to make some room for our teammate but they were selling it good. At the same time, we have to make sure to stay out of the penalty box and stay disciplined. That's a key against them."
The Bruins had killed off 11 straight Tampa Bay power play chances before allowing three straight in second and third periods. The Bruins went 1-for-5 on the power play, including their first man advantage goal on the road in 26 tries.
David Krejci: This is why 'you work all season for home ice' | at 12:23 am ET |
TAMPA — After becoming the first Bruins player since Cam Neely to record a playoff hat trick, David Krejci said the disappointed Bruins can still take solace in the fact they have one game on home ice to win to get to the Stanley Cup finals.
"It's tough, frustrating obviously, but that's why you work all season to get home ice advantage, and now we have it," Krejci said. "Game 7 in our building and in front of our fans, it's going to be exciting."
Krejci almost brought the Bruins back single-handedly from a 5-3 deficit late as he scored his third goal with 6:32 remaining in the third. His third goal not only matched Martin St. Louis with his NHL-leading 10th playoff goal, it gave him the first Boston playoff hat trick since Neely against the Canadiens on April 25, 1991. Krejci had several chances in the closing moments as the Bruins swarmed Dwayne Roloson but could not find the equalizer.
"It's going to be a tough night, maybe, but once you wake up [Thursday], we have to forget about it," Krejci said. "I think we've done a pretty good job at it after a win or loss. We regroup no matter what. We came back strong the next game so hopefully, we can do it again.
"We're still one win away the Stanley Cup finals so, regroup [Thursday] and get ready for Friday," Krejci said.
While scoring their first road power play goal in 26 chances, the Bruins were victimized by Lightning power play goals on their first three chances.
"Maybe a couple of calls were questionable but it doesn't really matter right now," Krejci said. "What's done is done. We have to look at their power play, make some adjustments and be better next game."
The Bruins will be trying to repeat the result of Game 7 in the first round against the Canadiens, when they beat Montreal, 3-2, in overtime on home ice to advance to the second round.
Nathan Horton doubles his pleasure while doubling the fun for the Bruins | 04.28.11 at 12:40 am ET |
Nathan Horton isn't about to complain about being dragged to the postgame press conference room in full uniform like he was Wednesday night to talk about his series-winning goal. After all, he's getting to be a real pro at taking the stage to discuss such heroics.
Four nights after winning Game 5 in double-overtime, Horton won the game and the series with a bomb of a shot that Carey Price never saw with 14:17 left in overtime to capture Game 7 for the Bruins and avoid the worst kind of heartbreak for Bruins fans.
It also sent the B's onto a second-round rematch with the Flyers starting this weekend in Philadelphia.
"Yeah, it was pretty nice," said a smiling Horton. "I mean, it felt pretty good. I don't remember too much. I remember Looch [Milan Lucic] coming up with the puck and I just tried to get open, and I tried putting the puck towards the net. Luckily it got deflected off someone and it went straight in. That's all I remember. It was pretty special, again, it doesn't get any better."
The goal also saved the Bruins from the devastating heartbreak of blowing a 3-2 lead with less than two minutes left in regulation, when P.K. Subban scored on the power play to force overtime.
"When you have the lead it feels good, but when you give it up, it's tough, especially in Game 7, late in the third, and we battled," Horton said. "We battled all year, when times have been tough, and we've come together and it seems like we get stronger and we just start pressing, and that's the way it's been all year. On if it's safe to say he's enjoying the playoffs'¦ I'm really enjoying it. Every day is exciting. Every day is a new day, but it feels good, definitely, to get used to this, continue winning. That's what it's all about."
Horton was the Bruins player who started off like a house on fire this season, with eight goals in his first 15 games. Then he cooled off before finishing with 26 on the season, just four behind Milan Lucic for the team lead. Safe to say he's caught fire again at the very best time. Read the rest of this entry »

Indian Nuclear Explosion: Zangger Committee and IAEA Board
Long lunchtime discussion produced many themes but no very clear pattern. Main points follow.
(a) Zangger Committee
2. Except for South Africa there seemed general agreement that Committee should agree on action on existing trigger lists as soon as possible, regarding Indian explosion as lending urgency to this but not reopening the lists nor inviting India to attend. Indians as consumers would then be covered by Zangger undertakings, while as suppliers attempt could be made to bring them in as with French and Russians. But to invite them in would risk upsetting progress so far (they would probably take a French type position) as well as legitimising their explosion.
3. United States have decided there is no use waiting further for the French and will press hard for earliest action. United Kingdom however want to give new French Government a chance at least to reply to outstanding approach to them.

Mission Statement of Champions of Character
Sports do not build character in young people! Character-driven adults do. The Champions of Character process equips athletic participants (coaches, athletic administrators, and parents) with the skills necessary to build character in the context of sport.
Our sports culture is full of examples of a breakdown of the basic values that most citizens expect of each other in a civil society.The media regularly feature stories about the criminal actions of professional athletes - assault, domestic violence, dog fighting, performance enhancing drugs, sports betting. News reports on cheating and unsportsmanlike behavior by athletes in college, high school and youth sports are equally troubling.
At the same time, the expectations that coaches and parents have for the athletes they support have led to conduct that detracts from the sports experience. Poor demonstrations of character are easily copied by young athletes. However, when athletes develop their skills in an environment in which adults' actions foster character-driven conduct, they are bound to do the same.
Inherent to the Champions of Character process is the belief that character is handed down from one generation to the next. When those who provide athletic opportunities are willing to commit to character-driven athletics and put the athlete first, both the game and society overall benefit.

Teaching The Lesson
When I am presenting a lesson with a book, I often revisit the book many times. I have a lot of discussions on what we notice about the book and how it connects to math. On a different day I will present the problem we will focus on that day and reread the story. After the reading I will often demonstrate a way to approach the problem with student input. I often have the class give me a few different suggestions. I always model on the easel and will incorporate using math manipulates.
Mr. and Mrs. Haktak find a magic pot that makes a copy of everything that gets put inside it. There is a great poem about doubles on Pinterest that would compliment this lesson. |
