TORONTO - A haunting look at Hollywood excess. A thriller that explores what happens to a community when a young girl goes missing. A story of a widow raising a troubled teen with help from a mysterious neighbour.
These are the three Canadian films competing for the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival, marking a record-breaking number of Canucks hitting the Croisette when the festival opens Wednesday.
Telefilm Canada celebrated this achievement with a red-carpet celebration on a recent evening, bringing together filmmakers Atom Egoyan, David Cronenberg, Guy Edoin, Marie-Josee Saint-Pierre and others.
"I feel incredibly excited and proud. It's a great moment for the country," said Egoyan, whose film "The Captive" is among the three in contention for the top prize at Cannes. "This will be remembered as a really, really historic moment."
Egoyan, who has competed at Cannes six times and is known for his art-house sensibilities, said that "The Captive" does represent a shift toward more "genre" thriller fare but the story is emotional and complex.
The film centres on a father, played by Ryan Reynolds, who leaves his daughter in his truck for a few moments and returns to find her missing. The kidnapping winds up destroying the relationships among those involved.
"I come from a town where there was a child that disappeared unexpectedly in a park one day, and the whole town still believes he's going to appear one day, out of those woods," said Egoyan, who wrote the script.
"It's an incredibly emotional journey for unexpected reasons. It goes to places you don't think it's going to go. It has an unusual structure, but at all times you know exactly what's happening emotionally with the characters."
He said that Canadian actor Reynolds is going to "completely redefine" himself with his performance. "I'm really excited about that."
The other two films by Canadian directors in the official competition are "Maps to the Stars," directed by Cronenberg, and "Mommy" by 25-year-old Xavier Dolan.
"Maps to the Stars" takes aim at Hollywood excess, with an ensemble cast including a bleach-blond Julianne Moore playing a hysterical actress and Mia Wasikowska playing the mysterious, scarred young woman who suddenly appears in her life.
Although it marks the first time Cronenberg, known for "A History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises," has made a film about Hollywood, he said he has been trying to make the movie — based on a script by novelist Bruce Wagner — for a decade.
"I've never really been obsessed with doing a movie about movie-making or anything like that, but in a way his script was not that. It's about ambition and fear and desperation and a whole bunch of other things within the context of movie-making," he said.
The film reunites Cronenberg with "Cosmopolis" star Robert Pattinson, who the director called "a terrific actor."
"When we did 'Cosmopolis,' he didn't really want to do it because his character was in every scene. He really wanted to be in an ensemble piece, where he was one of a great cast of actors," said Cronenberg. "I said, 'We talked about that and here it is. Here's a perfect role for you.'"
Dolan was unable to attend Telefilm's event, but "Mommy" marks the first time the young Quebecois auteur has been in competition at Cannes. The film is about a widowed single mother, played by Anne Dorval, who is raising her violent son alone when a mysterious neighbour appears to offer support.
The three films in competition are not the only Canadian content on display at Cannes. Edoin's "Ville-Marie," about the lives of four people that collide in the emergency department of a Montreal hospital, has been selected for the Cinefondation's Atelier. Another 15 films will be showcased at Telefilm's Perspective Canada.
Meanwhile, the Director's Fortnight, an independent series inside the festival, will feature Saint-Pierre's short film "Jutra," about the legendary Quebec filmmaker Claude Jutra, and Stephane Lafleur's "Tu Dors Nicole," about a young woman who has her parents' house to herself for a summer until her older brother and his rock band arrive.
Oscar-nominated Canadian actor Ryan Gosling is also making his directorial debut at Cannes with "Lost River." Gosling's dark thriller, based on his own screenplay and starring Christina Hendricks, was selected for the Un Certain Regard category.
Carolle Brabant, executive director of Telefilm Canada, said she was proud to see established filmmakers like Cronenberg alongside younger ones like Dolan in competition at Cannes, which runs from till May 25.
"Three films in competition, it's one more than the Americans. With just that, we should be over the top," she said.
"We even have Ryan Gosling! That makes me really, really proud."

As regular readers know, I am no fan of standardized tests or extensive test prep for them, but they are a reality and I do indeed try to help my students become "test wise" (see My Best Posts On How To Prepare For Standardized Tests (And Why They're Bad)).
As part of this effort, I'm thinking that one day in the computer lab doing self-correcting tests can't hurt, and would be a relatively painless way of getting students a little more familiar with them, and, I hope, confident. I'm also thinking that at least some tests in different states might be relatively similar.
So I've begun compiling a list of sites that offer free online self-correcting practice tests for state assessments, and I'm hoping that readers can contribute a lot more. As I mentioned, the criteria include:
* being free
* being interactive and self-correcting — in other words, not a PDF of test prep questions
* ideally, no registration is required. However, if it's a really good site, I'll overlook that requirement.
* the questions are sample questions from previously released versions of the state tests, or modeled on them
Here are the ones I've come up with so far, but I'm hoping that readers can contribute far more:
SOL Practice Tests (Virginia) from the Wise County Alternative Education Center
Virginia State Standards of Learning Practice Tests — Science, Math & Technology
Elementary Test Prep For New York — Oswego School District
High School Test Prep For New York — Oswego School District
Ohio Department Of Education Practice Tests
Texas Education Agency — Released Tests–Interactive Online Versions
Maryland High School Assessment Program
The New York Times Learning Network provides regular interactive "Test Yourself" questions in various subjects that can service as useful student practice for standardized tests:
Next Generation "SMARTER" tests
Students are test-driving new Common Core exams. You can too is a post from The Hechinger Report. It includes links to practice tests from the two testing consortia. The ones from PARCC have an answer key, though, at first glance, the SBAC ones do not (let me know if I just missed it).
The final site I want to include on this list is the newest. Unfortunately, it's only available to California students (and,unfortunately, it's recently been made unavailable to any new students — even in California — because of budget cuts) though teachers in other areas might want to explore it and potentially replicate it in their own communities. The California Community Colleges have developed a phenomenal website to specifically help English Language Learners prepare for the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE), the test that all students have to pass in order to receive a high school diploma. It's interactive with image, text, and audio support, and is very accessible to Intermediate and Advanced English Language Learners.
I'm looking forward to more suggestions in the comment section…

Carter Defends Mideast Record
Bemoans lack of 'real progress' since 1979
Angrily responding to an article in the prior issue of Foreign Policy, former President Jimmy Carter—who helped orchestrate the Camp David agreement with Egypt, and in recent years has emerged as an especially staunch critic of Israel—offers this apologia pro vita sua regarding his presidency's Israel policy:
There was no pressure on me to launch a peace initiative in the Middle East, but I did so from my first days in office. I realized that there had been four wars against Israel during the preceding quarter-century, with Egypt being the only Arab force that was strong enough to be a real threat. At Camp David and during the following weeks, we negotiated a resolution to the Palestinian issue and a treaty of peace early in 1979 between Egypt and Israel. Although written commitments to the Palestinians have not been honored, not a word of the peace treaty has been broken. Tragically, there has been little if any real progress since that time.
In writing that final sentence, Carter must not be including Israel's similar peace deal with Jordan, in 1993. Still, and if nothing else, the following is true: at no time since 1979, at the least, has there been greater international consensus and hope for an independent Palestinian state. If Carter thinks that shouldn't count as "real progress," then I hope his objection is merely a semantic one.

NASA Discusses Progress Reached So Far In Future Asteroid Mission
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Proposed studies for NASA's missions to capture and redirect an asteroid are set to kick off in July. The space agency said these studies should inform not only the future asteroid mission, but also future missions to Mars.
"With these system concept studies, we are taking the next steps to develop capabilities needed to send humans deeper into space than ever before, and ultimately to Mars, while testing new techniques to protect Earth from asteroids," said William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate.
The studies are for NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM), which is slated to launch in 2019. The mission is based on two primary concepts: to grab a very small asteroid in open space and to collect a boulder-sized sample off of a much larger asteroid. The space agency said it is targeting asteroids less than 32 feet in size and plans to choose between the two concepts by late 2014.
There have been numerous proposals on how NASA might capture an asteroid, including using the gravitational force of a spacecraft to move the trajectory of the large asteroid slowly over time. Another potential plan involves using a ship's solar electric ion propulsion system to push a space rock toward the Moon, when NASA would nudge it into a stable orbit.
Lindley Johnson, head of NASA's Near Earth Objects Program, told NBC News that in addition to scientific value – ARM could help protect Earth from a catastrophic impact.
"Unfortunately, what you see in Hollywood is not always reality," he said, adding, "the capabilities that we're looking at for demonstration by the robotic spacecraft are adding to our knowledge and techniques of what might be done for an asteroid that's on a hazardous trajectory."
The asteroid mission announced a recent shot in the arm via the discovery of an optimal target, the space rock designated 2011 MD. The discovery was made using the Spitzer Space Telescope, which showed that 2011 MD is 20 feet in size and has a relatively low density.
Working mostly in the infrared spectrum, the space telescope has also played a major role in spotting planets outside our Solar System.
"Observing these elusive remnants that may date from the formation of our solar system as they come close to Earth, is expanding our understanding of our world and the space it resides in," said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. "Closer study of these objects challenge our capabilities for future exploration and will help us test ways to protect our planet from impact. The Spitzer observatory is one of our tools to identify and characterize potential candidate targets for the asteroid mission."
"We're supporting the ARM mission with our observation program, and in turn the ARM mission can support our planetary defense objectives," Johnson added.
The NASA scientist also said he expects ARM to have an entire menagerie of potential targets as the launch date approaches.
"It won't be dozens, but it may be 10 or so by the time we get to make the decision," Johnson said.

American cars will soon be no more powerful than Russian cars:
DETROIT — Soaring gas prices have turned the steady migration by Americans to smaller cars into a stampede.
In what industry analysts are calling a first, about one in five vehicles sold in the United States was a compact or subcompact car during April, based on monthly sales data released Thursday. Almost a decade ago, when sport utility vehicles were at their peak of popularity, only one in every eight vehicles sold was a small car.
In another first, fuel-sipping four-cylinder engines surpassed six-cylinder models in popularity in April.

Hiker Finds License Believed to Be Fossett's Pilot's License Found in Calif. May Be Fossett's
By JULIANA BARBASSA
By Juliana Barbassa
The Associated Press
A hiker in a rugged part of eastern California found a pilot's license and other items possibly belonging to Steve Fossett, the adventurer who vanished on a solo flight in a borrowed plane more than a year ago, authorities said Wednesday.
The hiker, Preston Morrow, said he found a Federal Aviation Administration identity card, a pilot's license, a third ID and $1,005 in cash tangled in a bush off a trail just west of the town of Mammoth Lakes on Monday. He said he turned the items in to local police Wednesday after unsuccessful attempts to contact Fossett's family.
Mammoth Lakes police Investigator Crystal Schafer confirmed that the department had the items, including the ones bearing Fossett's name.
Search teams led by the Madera County Sheriff's Department have been sent to the scene, said sheriff's spokeswoman Erica Stewart.
Morrow said he found no sign of a plane or any human remains.
Fossett, whose exploits included circumnavigating the globe in a balloon, disappeared Sept. 3, 2007, after taking off in a single- engine plane borrowed from a Nevada ranch owned by hotel magnate Barron Hilton. A judge declared Fossett legally dead in February following a search for the aviator that covered 20,000 square miles.
Michael LoVallo, a lawyer for Fossett's widow, Peggy, said, "We are aware of the reports and are trying to verify the information."
Aviators had flown over Mammoth Lakes in the search for Fossett, but it had not been considered a likely place to find the plane. The most intense searching was concentrated to the north, given what searchers knew about sightings of Fossett's plane, his plans for when he had intended to return and the amount of fuel he had in the plane.
Morrow, 43, who works in a Mammoth Lakes sporting goods store, said he initially didn't know who Fossett was. It wasn't until he showed the items to co-workers Tuesday that one of them recognized Fossett's name.
"It was just weird to find that much money in the backcountry, and the IDs," he said. "My immediate thought was it was a hiker or backpacker's stuff, and a bear got to the stuff and took it away to look for food or whatever."
Morrow said he returned to the scene with a friend Tuesday to search further and did not find any plane wreckage or human remains. They did find a black Nautica pullover fleece, size XL, in the same area, but he said he wasn't sure whether the items were related.
Morrow said he consulted local attorney David Baumwohl, and they initially tried to contact the Fossett family but were unable to get through to their lawyers.
"We figured if it was us, we'd want to know first. We wouldn't want to learn from the news," Baumwohl said.
When they weren't able to contact the law firm that handled the death declaration , they decided to turn everything over to the police, the attorney said.

Coelho's (The Alchemist, 1988; The Witch of Portobello, 2007) ability to draw from Catholic and esoteric spiritual teachings and couch the syncretic result in fictional terms has made his works beloved spiritual staples for decades. Originally published in 1990, this novel purports to be the true story of 21-year-old Brida's spiritual quest. Her questions about life and the occult lead her to two teachers: a magician and a witch. They instruct her to keep the bridge open between the visible and the invisible, to identify her spiritual Gift, and to reunite with her Other Part (a by-product of the soul division that occurs during reincarnation). Alas, two teachers make for an excessively didactic novel and a rather dry story. Coelho includes a few appealing rituals (which he sternly warns the reader against using without appropriate guidance), some compelling precepts, a brief discussion of the spiritual dimension of sex (a special orgasm is required for Brida's spiritual initiation), and a regrettable abundance of underdeveloped and contradictory elements. This is one of Coelho's less inspired and more forgettable works, but his fans will likely request it. An optional purchase for bookstores and public libraries where spiritual themes are popular.-Carolyn Kost, Stevenson Sch. Lib., Pebble Beach, CA

Aye, a wee bit of the hot birds on stage at Radio 1′s concert in the Highlands this weekend. There were a bunch of acts, but Katy Cocktease in her ancient Egyptian themed tight dress and Rita Ora in her booty hugging body suit and some unusual looking dreads certainly stood out for me.
I can't say I'm particular fond of either young pop diva musically speaking, but pretty much obsessed in every other way and I could easily fake the musical interest part should I ever get a chance to help these girls change costumes backstage. That and a Ora-Swift-Perry sandwich are my two simultaneously occurring dreams at the moment. I wish you could see inside my brain, it's like a quilt of really vibrant and not-for-kids images. I'll be sure to donate it to some tawdry sex museum after my demise. Enjoy.

I would suggest that there needs to be some major maintenance. I have never seen so many electrical extension leads in one place. The grouting in the showers need re doing. Painting over mould does not hide it! It is evident that the owners are not very practical.

50 Shades of Grey Trailer Re-Cut With Steve Buscemi
This is why the internet was created. People have way too much time on their hands and I love it!
Of course since the trailer for 50 Shades of Grey was released, the ladies have been pressing play on it over and over again. I'm not sure this version will have the same typoe of lustful respinse. But it's definitely getting clicks!

New role model: John Maeda
So I've tried for several months (arguably years) to figure out my career path and determine if my choices toward user experience and interaction design have been the right ones. Unfortunately, I've been labeled a 'developer' by people who work with me, which loosely translates into 'you should code and only figure out ways to code better...nothing more, nothing less'. This is particularly disheartening because I'm a creative person atomically (ex. jazz musician, graphic designer, etc.) who understands the dry / boring logic that can make things work. I've designed many things in my life and I enjoy the creative process of concepting and prototyping. As such, I've always tried to be more of an interdisciplinarian that wants to smooth the boundaries between design and development. Most people believe that designers can't code and developers can't design, which I think is a bold faced lie....
Anyway, I took a chance with Amazon.com and decided to buy a book entitled The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda. I'm still reading the book (very impressed so far), but what struck me was the path(s) that Meada took throughout his career and how they make sense . He is currently the President of Rhode Island School of Design which is impressive by itself, but what is more impressive is his interdisciplinary background. Maeda completed his undergraduate and master degrees in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering @ MIT, received a Ph.D. in design from the University of Tsukuba Institute of Art and Design in Japan, AND received an MBA from Arizona State University. On the back sleeve of The Laws of Simplicity, Maeda is described as a 'graphic designer, visual artist, and computer scientist' and its well deserved.
The irony of all this is that I found myself plotting a course for the same destination as Maeda before I started reading The Laws of Simplicity. I have two associate degrees (Math and Computer Science), an undergraduate degree in web technologies, and I'm currently in a MS program for Human Computer Interaction. I started scouting MBA programs about 2 weeks ago to gain mastery of the business side of design and development. I may have stumbled across an individual who is living proof that design and science can coexist successfully.
I intend to continue reading Maeda's books + posts and hopefully I can pose questions to him someday to find out if I'm crazy or not. But for now, he is a role model for me and reminds me that there is a larger scale purpose that will soon be made clear in the future to all those who are constantly confused by the smaller thoughts in the present.

Recent Aruba Reviews
WOW! Did we hit the lotery or what?
I cannot tell you enough good things about this beautiful house to give it the justice it deserves. This was our 1st time to Aruba, so I was very nervous about renting a house. Our family usually does the all-inclusive packages but this time I wanted to try something different and I'm I glad I did. This house had no reviews when I 1st booked it, then a few weeks later it had its 1st review written and it was not good at all. It was just a week or so until I was going to take my family to this horrible house lol. I called the property manager upon readying the review and I was going to cancel and get my money back because this house did not seem like a 5 star home. After talking with the property manager I thought I would stick it out and give the home a chance. That was the best thing I have EVER done. The house was located in the best part of Aruba. When you 1st get to the neighborhood you go through a private guard gates then you enter a very nice community with beautiful homes. The community has an awesome club house that is there for you to use. The picture of the home does no justice to the community. The homes around this home are big and beautiful. There is a home next door that is under construction so it is a little bit of an eye sore today but does not impact this home at all. The house is as awesome as the pictures show it to be. The house is very well constructed and laid out very functional. We had 7 people with us and this house had more than enough space for all of us and our stuff. The kids had a blast with the pool each day before and after you hung out at the beaches for most of the day. All of the beds were comfortable and clean. Each room was like a suite. Each room had their own shower and its own A/c unit. The house overall was incredible. I would give it a 10+ on a scale of 1to10. It was that nice. The location to the beaches and all of the activities Aruba has to offer put this house died center of all the Aruba fun. We rented a jeep for the week which was another highlight of the trip. The jeep allowed us to travel EVERY back road Aruba had to offer. What a blast! The natural pools were a must to see and enjoy. We did cook at the house a few nights and the kitchen was set-up excellent and had all of the right cooking utensils. Each room of the house had excellent A/C units that kept each room very cool. I could not find one thing wrong with this incredible home. I'm just lucky that they open this awesome home up to my family.

I had already replaced the thermal fuse and the high limit switch and the dryer still was not getting hot enough to dry towels in one cycle. After looking at other peoples responses to a similar problem I decided that it must be the heating element. I ordered in on Sunday, they shipped it on Monday and I replaced it on Tuesday in less that 30 minutes. It works better than it has in months.When I talked with a repair man before I started fixing the problem on my own, his suggestion was to buy a new dryer. I felt sure that a 5 year old dryer could be fixed reasonably and with the help you have on line made it easy enough that a 68 year old woman could do it herself. Thank you for your easy step by step directions and fast service.

6 held for kidnapping of businessman
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
CAMP GENERAL ALEJO SANTOS, Bulacan—Six men were charged last week with the kidnapping of a Bulacan gas station owner, who was released after paying a P12-million ransom.
Businessman Emerson Magadia, 39, was seized at noon on February14 as he drove on Maharlika Highway from his gas station in San Ildefonso town.
The suspects, who were on a Nissan Patrol, cut through Magadia vehicle's path, forcing him to stop. They then grabbed Magadia and detained him in a safehouse.
Magadia's family did not inform the police about the kidnapping until after his release, police said.
On March 3, police arrested Manuel Atencio, 46, of Pulilan town; and Estelito Manalo, 46; Ricardo Hovilla Jr., 23; and Azenith Briones, 32, all of Baliwag town, for the kidnapping.
Supt. Joel Orduna, Bulacan police director, filed criminal complaints against them in the Bulacan prosecutor's office in Malolos City on March 4.
Police included Dennis Desiderio, 47, of Plaridel town, and a Pampanga resident in the complaint. Desiderio was arrested on March 9 in Baliwag. The other suspect, who is based in Candaba, Pampanga, has yet to be arrested. He has been identified as the one who allegedly financed the kidnapping operation.
Desiderio told police that they also worked with a suspect based in San Ildefonso and two other men.
During the March 4 arrests, police recovered a .45-cal. pistol from Atencio, Manalo, Hovilla and Briones.
Manalo claimed he was not part of the kidnap group but he was detained on a drug possession charge. Police said Briones served as the caretaker of Magadia while they negotiated his ransom. Carmela Reyes-Estrope, Inquirer Central Luzon

Unexpected Angel Door Hanger

When you think of simple angel crafts, you probably imagine white or cream colors with delicate embellishments. The Unexpected Angel Door Hanger from Lisa Fulmer provides a fun alternative to traditional holiday projects by incorporating steampunk design elements.
- Unfinished wood door hanger
- Sandpaper
- White gesso
- Silver metallic paint
- Sand texture medium
- Pink glitter paint
- Paint brush and palette knife
- Fabric and ribbon
- Beads to match
- Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue
- Tulip Glitter Fabric Spray Paint – Glistening Gold
- Tim Holtz metal charms – crown and wings
- Mini washers and corner accents
- Self-adhesive rhinestones
- 2-3 feet of thin gauge wire, coiled into circles
- Wire snippers and round-nose beading pliers
Gently sand any rough edges and front of the doorhanger. Paint one coat of white gesso on the front and allow to dry.
Paint one coat of metallic silver and allow to dry.
Blend a little silver paint into some sand texture medium and spread all over the front with a palette knife to give the doorhanger surface a nice texture and allow to dry.
Brush a thin coat of pink glitter paint on top and allow to dry.
Trim a diamond shape from your fabric, spritz with the glitter fabric spray paint and allow to dry.
Glue the fabric diamond, metal charms, corner accents, mini washers, and rhinestones in position on the doorhanger – the hole for the doorknob is the angel's "head."
Take your coiled circles of wire, with the two ends of the wire together at the top, and pull the coil into a football shape. Twist each end of wire around the coils to secure. Spread the coils apart like petals of a flower to create the angels tutu skirt.
Snip one wire petal in half and thread a few beads on to each end. Use a pair of round-nose pliers to wrap the ends of each wire into little spirals to keep the beads in place.
Tie a small length of ribbon around the wire ends to hide them, then tie another longer length of ribbon around that into a bow. Glue the tutu to the doorhanger and wrap the ends of the longer ribbon like a belt around the angel's "waist" and glue the ends to the back of the doorhanger.
If desired, trace the shape of the doorhanger on to a piece of cardstock and cut out inside the lines, then glue the cardstock to the back side of the doorhanger to finish it off.
- Cut your favorite face into a circle (a rubber stamp, a picture of yourself or your child) to fit your doorknob and tape it on, then hang your angel on the door.

FOR a fifth time dejected Boro supporters had to trudge away from Wembley to the soundtrack of their opponents' celebrations.
That heart-ache doesn't get any easier to bear with practice.
If anything it gets worse.
FOR a fifth time dejected Boro supporters had to trudge away from Wembley to the soundtrack of their opponents' celebrations.
That heart-ache doesn't get any easier to bear with practice.
If anything it gets worse.
WEMBLEY: an iconic venue that has been central to the dreams of generations of Boro supporters. School yard yearning were left unfulfilled by near-misses, freezes and failures through a barren century. Then, when the finals suddenly came thick and fast, we have been left powerless and impotent as those dreams turned into nightmares.
Tony Dorigo's free-kick killer that spoiled our debut in 1990 (although you never forget your first time). Emile Heskey's stoppage time sickener after stroppy striker Ravanelli had briefly ignited emotions with our only goal at the Twin Towers; A cruel 43 second Roberto Di Matteo stunner that killed off our first ever FA Cup appearance before it had even begun and hammered in the final nail of a traumatic season. And Chelsea again just 12 months later in the League Cup.
The mystique of Wembley had so long taunted us and been so painfully unobtainable – then we finally got there it turned out to be a haunted hell-hole that laughed as it crushed our souls. Now Boro have a chance for historic redemption. Believe…
"SHUT your gob Vickers. I'll have a beer if I want to," was just one of the responses to my column in the Gazette today calling for fans to be ready to play their role and create an awesome roar in our potentially epoch-shaping showdown at Wembley.
I had committed the heresy of suggesting that at Eindhoven a lot of Boro fans drunk themselves into oblivion and were in no fit state to "sing your heart for the lads." On that day Boro were out-flanked and out-sung by the passionate and spectacular Sevilla crowd. They took control of the high-ground and were building a wall of noise while thousands of thirsty Teessiders were still necking ale in the Boro square.
Red Square: Things getting lively in the Boro Fan Zone
Walking up to the ground two hours before kick-off there were bedraggled Teessiders crashed out on grass verges looking like the tattered retreating remnants of a defeated medieval army. Meanwhile a sea of Sevilla fans were greeting their team coach like conquering heroes. mobbing it and chanting and pointing at the window. They were buzzing. It felt like they had come determined to seize their destiny. It felt like they had a massive psychological advantage long before kick off.
We can't let that happen again at Wembley. We need to be more focused, more determined, more united and noisier. We need the Red Army to be more like they were at Cardiff- and against Brentford – than they were at Eindhoven.
Of course, have a beer. Or two. Three even. Enjoy the occasion. Be in good spirits – but don't get smashed and miss the intensity of the moment. Play your part. Boro supporters this season have been brilliant and the players and manager have queued up to say how much they have aided the team at important moments in close fought crucial matches.
Wembley needs to be the best display of the season from the Red Army.
What do you think? Fair comment? Or am I a 'killjoy doyle'?
WEMBLEY-bound Boro's semi-sonic boom blasted second best Brentford to bits as Aitor Karanka's historic March To The Arch continued.
Red hot iron, white hot steel: the atmosphere was molten and magnificent and Teesside was totally united in pursuit of the promotion prize. A club united like that is hard to beat. Everyone was on their game. Every single person in the ground from battle-scarred diehard to wide-eyed youngsters was energised and totally engaged in an emotionally intoxicating evening, a memorable "I was there" moment , the best night since Steaua.
BORO'S new shirt is red. With a Liverpool/Forest/Aberdeen retro eighties echo pinstripe and polka dot lace effect collar and trim … but let's put the fashionista design considerations to one side for a moment.
I don't mind it. Even if you instinctively think there is something missing, that it feels alien and there should be an eye-catching white flourish somewhere, we'll soon get used to it, most diehard supporters will by it irrespective of design, manufacturer or price. And some clearly love it already and queued to buy it so they could be the first on their block. And what ever your opinion and it'll look much better with Premier League badges on.
And generally I find it hard to get in a froth over a new shirt so long as it isn't an historic aberration – and this isn't. Historically Boro have worn plain red far more often than they have the "traditional" white band: in 53 of 108 seasons compared to 15 with a band or even the 28 – mainly between the wars – with dashing epaulettes, or shoulders and another nine with a yoke or swirl or sash or some other neat flourish.
The breakdown of designs over 108 years of league football
But there are other important factors that should be considered and every time the shirt is plain red it feels like a marketing own goal.
Branding is the key to success in the cut-throat modern marketplace. Ask any switched-on businessman in any field from fashion to football and they will tell you the power of a product to be instantly recognised among its rivals in a hectic hard-sell shop front scrum is paramount to on-going success and expansion.
The ability of a simple, unique visual device to stamp an image in the sub-conscious is key to winning the battle for the hearts and minds. A distinct logo helps build an identity, develop loyalty from existing customers and entice new ones. It allows 'synergy' the cross promotion of a wide range of products that can be instantly identified as part of the brand.
That's why companies pay slick spin-doctors and image consultants fortunes in a bid to replicate the almost mystical global market pulling power of the three stripes, the swoosh or the arches.
So it has always left me slightly bemused – and slightly deflated – when a company has just such a visible and recognisable device on their hands they should fail to maximise its branding potential. Boro have just that: our Above Average White Band – or a flourish of some sort on a red shirt – and they have parked it.
When Boro are plain red they are just that – plain. It is an off the peg manufactures template: it a Southamptonkits from two years ago and also available in blue as Sunderland's away kit.
With a plain red shirt Boro enter an identikit division of teams that blend into the background… although the red shorts mitigate that a bit this time round.
For some it will be a return to tradition. There has been resistance from high up in the club in the past to the popular clamour for the white band. There is an argument that Boro DO wear plain red calculated by the number of seasons.
But measured by media and market recognition, supporters' self-identity, media recognition and branding the plain red is an own goal.
The band – although historically not the most frequently used – is the one most vividly associated with the club by the majority of supporters. Red hot iron, white hot steel. It is a symbolic colour scheme to unite the Teesside crowd. Every straw poll throws up the same response: the fans favoured home strip design is one with a white chest band.
In last "best shirt poll we did at the Gazette the Charlton era chest band came top with three other banded styles following and the white Heritage Hampers yoke before a plain red shirt popped up in the listings. That's not scientific but it is a powerful indicator of where's supporters' feelings are on this issue. And that is marketing gold dust.
A gallery of greats: Boro recent shirt selections. Which ones stand out?
The most-wanted away strip is harder to call as there is not such an obvious historic emotional template but generally the old blue and black stripes has the edge – although second strips are different and a maverick departure is easily accepted (that white with blue tyre track cross from 1996-97 for instance).
Maybe there is an element of rose-tinted nostalgia involved in a design that echoes Charlton's Champions, promotions and European campaigns – but sentiment is a powerful marketing tool.
But so is a striking simple design in a vibrant colour combination. It is easy to adapt to modern marketing needs – and not just on shirts. Look around the stadium, the family zone, the club shop, the tunnel. The white band is everywhere.
The red shirt with a white band is a unique ensemble in English football that is instantly recognisable across the country. And beyond. The design is simple. And that's a good thing. A child could reproduce it accurately and quickly and it would not just be a proud parent that could approvingly identify the subject matter. Look here's one I knocked up yesterday in five minutes flat. How hard can it be?
A shirt with a white band or similar striking splash stands out proudly from the crowd – and from a distance. Even in grainy black and white tabloid pictures from the past the design leaps from the page and the heart swells.
With the band, or yoke or even sash, Boro are definitely not just another sub-Liverpool wannabee. Wearing an ersatz Anfield ensemble or mock Man U mode, they could just as easily be a nondescript Barnsley or Charlton or Bristol City.
Perhaps more crucially, in a world increasingly driven by the bottom line, the design is easily co-opted in other arenas. It has easily been adapted by MFC Retail in shifting mugs, flags and leisure wear to boost income.
The image of the white chest band is burned indelibly into the psyche of their potential local customer base as being symbolic of success. The band harnesses the cultural power of Big Jack. The bib or yoke echoes the Rioch revival and the escape from liquidation and Wembley for the first time in the ZDS Cup final. The band was reworked for the first time in 1998 for the Magic Merson promotion/Coca Cola Cup final campaign. And it was the uniform of success as Boro stormed Europe and reached the UEFA Cup final.
It is a striking image. It IS Boro. Marketing men couldn't ask for better raw material to work with. Or shirt designers. And to be fair, Boro have done well in recent years on that score. Since 2007-08 there have been bands, swirls, yokes and a sash on the shirts. They have all ticked the right branding boxes.
This year Boro have reverted to plain red. I'm not outraged by it. I don't think it is an insult to our history. And I'm not one of the catwalk cognescenti so have no opinion on on the design, fabric, collar shape or width of the pinstripes.
But it is a disappointing and frustrating that such a powerful and evocative image – and subliminal branding tool – has been set aside so casually.
SIX yellow cards in a red hot frenzied, urgent atmosphere under lights and with a passionate partisan support roaring their heroes on: this was cup football at its best.
The high-stakes semi-final shoot-out at Griffin Park was electrifying, pulsating and absorbing. The error-strewn affair may not have been "one for the purists" but it was a fantastic spectacle with two evenly matched sides going for it hammer-and-tongs.
Battling Boro were brilliant. It was an away leg tactical masterclass of soaking up pressure and hitting on the break.
THERE'S a phoney war going on with selected statistical snapshots being used to prop up positions that are more based on faith than fact. And I'm not talking about the election.
No matter how much you point to the data, the numbers, there is very little science about how individuals will perceive them . Those double-edged things – 'facts' – are all very well if they reinforce your own prejudice but can be easily dismissed by the entrenched opposing camp if they prove too awkward to square. They can be routinely countered with predictably scripted sound-bites and mantras.
That's just like the on-going well rehearsed debates among football fans and the time-honoured tension between the opposite poles of perspective.

SO, Brentford: Boro ended up with what may well turn out to be the most favourable of play-off opponents – but despite some strange dynamics and off field orchestration in the closing stages of the Brighton game, that is more by accident than design.
A frustrating, flat final fixture saw Aitor Karanka's team dawdle lethargically and slouch back into fourth place and as a result they are now pitted against the Championship's real surprise package this term.
After the mounting chuntering about the lacklustre limp over the finishing line on a day when an explosive leap from the play-off launch pad was the pre-match minimum demand, being paired with the Bees was generally well received.
In fact, in the nuanced post-mortem it almost felt like Boro had been rewarded for their failure to beat Brighton. The camp was happy. It felt as if it that was desired outcome.
Continue reading Last Day Draw May Give Boro A Play Off Edge
I'M BUSY. (On a Saturday night? What is going on?) I'll get back to you soon. But briefly…
A lack-lustre and laboured leap from the play-offs launch pad fell flat. It may have turned out to be a dead rubber but Boro will need to bounce back quickly. They will need to add real teeth and tempo to beat Brentford.
It was an opportunity to put in an up-lifting, entertaining display and record an emphatic win in front of a rammed Riverside to get Teesside buzzing and go onto the two-legged shoot-out on a high and with momentum. But Boro barely got out of second gear.
Continue reading Flat Boro Need To Bounce Back After Dead Rubber
BARRING some statistical final day freak results not even the most brazen Far East betting syndicate would contemplate, Boro are in the play-offs.
Oh no, we are all going to die! It's a disaster. It's a complete failure! We've got no chance. The habitual doom and gloomers have written us off already and are tuning up for their symphony of pessimistic predictions of failure before a ball is kicked. The killjoys.
But we should be buzzing. We are still in with a shout. And Wembley is in sight.

Has run everything I throw at it just fine, really food FPS considering the low price. However I'm a casual gamer and not trying to push limits or overclock anything. So far I've been running the same card for over a year and it's been great. No problems to speak of if you let it run as it's supposed to.
The case is a little flimsy, but as long as you don't try hitting it with a hammer to get it in place I think you'll be alright...

Jan 14th, 2013 1 person agrees 6 people don't
Amazing work for 1.7. I rate it 6 because it is highly unbalanced. Getting the new races to work correctly is trial and error even if you install it like the modders instruct you too. In addition, it takes like 5 minutes to load a skirmish game. There are several bugs still to even with the 1.71 patch. I think when the whole product is completed this game would be worth of a 10 but for now, 6 is what I give it.

Man brushes aside goose-feeding fame
January 5, 2009
A Yorktown, N.Y., man who became famous for feeding migrating Canada geese at his home is brushing off the attention he's gained.
Gary Lundquist first made headlines in 2004 when a local newspaper profiled him for feeding hundreds of birds each day at his home and interviewed neighbors upset by the noise and droppings brought to the neighborhood by the geese, the New York Post reported Monday.
This is private property, Lundquist said recently while answering his door.
There is nothing unlawful going on here. They (the geese) don't stay here at night.
Yorktown officials considered passing an ordinance in 2005 to halt the bird feeding but authorities eventually determined that they could not legislate against activities on private property.
