"We all agree that we have a great opportunity again this year. Everyone's very excited," forward Brad Marchand said. "We've only lost a couple guys, but (Benoit) Pouliot and (Joe) Corvo have come in and they're both great players. From what it looks like in camp, there's a lot of great young guys that are going to be battling for spots. So, yeah, we have a great shot again this year. We have to come in and make sure we don't take it for granted and think it's going to be easy because we won last year. But the way it looks, everyone is hungry."
The 1972 Cup title was Boston's second in three years, but the "Big, Bad Bruins" soon found themselves a little shorthanded. The World Hockey Association siphoned off a handful of core players, highlighted by premier puck-stopper Gerry Cheevers and center Derek Sanderson. The expansion draft also claimed role player Eddie Westfall. The Bruins made a few more trips to the Cup Final in the 1970s, but never carried the Cup off with them in the end.
With Pouliot, Corvo and a more-experienced Tyler Seguin, the Bruins should be more than equipped to make up for the loss of Mark Recchi to retirement and Tomas Kaberle and Michael Ryder in free agency. Plus, through general manager Peter Chiarelli's wise maneuvering, the team has sufficient salary-cap space to supplement as the year goes on, unlike some recent Cup winners who had to let players leave to become cap compliant.
That no team has repeated as Cup champs since the 1998 Detroit Red Wings is proof the "Stanley Cup hangover" is real. Coach Claude Julien already is prepared for the pitfalls his team will need to avoid as it starts from scratch in the NHL standings.
IN: Chris Clark, RW (tryout, Blue Jackets); Joe Corvo, D (trade, Hurricanes); Benoit Pouliot, LW (free agent, Canadiens)
OUT: Shane Hnidy, D (retired); Tomas Kaberle, D (free agent, Hurricanes); Mark Recchi, RW (retired); Michael Ryder, RW (free agent, Stars)
OUT: Shane Hnidy, D (retired); Tomas Kaberle, D (free agent, Hurricanes); Mark Recchi, RW (retired); Michael Ryder, RW (free agent, Stars)
Despite a power play that ranked just 20th in the NHL, the Bruins were the fifth-highest scoring team in the League last season. That's a tribute to their 5-on-5 play and their balanced scoring, which last season was led by a breakout 30-goal season from winger Milan Lucic.
Lucic, David Krejci (who tied Lucic for the team points lead with 62) and Nathan Horton (26 goals) all are back to provide the Bruins with one of the most lethal first lines around. There should be more productive days ahead for that trio, especially if Krejci -- a premier playmaker -- can improve on his 12 power-play points.
Peverley and Chris Kelly were key February acquisitions for the Bruins; both can play center or wing and skate on any line. How much Seguin has improved since his rookie season will go a long way toward determining the Bruins' lineup, as Boston has to see if the second pick of the 2010 Entry Draft is a top-six player, and if he is, if it's at center or on the wing. If Seguin can consistently resemble the player who scored 3 goals in the first two games of last season's Eastern Conference Finals, the Bruins' top six will be impossible to contain.
The fourth line of Daniel Paille, Gregory Campbell and Shawn Thornton proved in Game 7 of the Cup Final what regular observers of the team knew all season -- they're the best in the business at what they do. When the Bruins need a game-changing, physical shift, they turn to that trio to create momentum and it always responds.
Zdeno Chara didn't earn his second Norris Trophy in three years (Detroit's Nicklas Lidstrom won), but he certainly put together a season any defenseman would be envious of in 2010-11. He had 14 goals, 30 assists and a plus-33 rating despite playing against the opposition's line every game and logging 25:26 of ice time a night. Thanks to an arduous year-round workout regimen, Chara hasn't shown signs of slowing down. The Bruins' captain again will be the cornerstone of a balanced defense corps.

Among the Bruins' current defense group, Johnny Boychuk has the most experience playing with the captain. If he gets that shot, it'll be a chance for Boychuk to get his progression back on track after a disappointing 3-goal, 16-point 2010-11.
Andrew Ference and Adam McQuaid are Boston's other returnees, and both could play anywhere in the lineup -- although they also have been known to combine as a solid third pair. Ference emerged last season not only as a reliable blueliner, but a spiritual leader who never is afraid to defend a teammate on the ice or speak up to motivate his teammates in the locker room. McQuaid's toughness seemingly knows no bounds, as he dropped the gloves with some of the toughest opponents Boston faced. He also showed a knack for keeping the puck out of the net with a plus-30 rating in limited ice time.
Boston's lone defense newcomer is Corvo, who the team hopes will provide them with a little more offensive pop from the back end, particularly on the power play.
After a solid 38-game rookie season, Steven Kampfer figures to push for a job, as does second-year man Matt Bartkowski.
He set the single-season League save-percentage record (.938), led the League with a goals-against average of 2.00 and then won the "Triple Crown" -- the Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe Trophy and Vezina Trophy. So what does Tim Thomas do now?
"I have no choice but to try to do it again," said Thomas.
Unlike last summer, Thomas was able to work out full-tilt rather than rehabilitate his surgically repaired hip. That regimen, combined with what should be an even lesser work load, should set Thomas up to again challenge for a Vezina and the statistical lead in every major category.
Tuukka Rask's numbers (2.67 GAA, .918 save percentage) only paled in comparison to Thomas' marks and Rask's rookie-season performance (1.97 GAA, .937 save percentage). Rask struggled to get on track after a sluggish start to his second full NHL season but should be able to push Thomas for playing time over the course of the season.
For the first time in a couple years, the Bruins have a legitimate prospect as their third goalie, with Anton Khudobin re-signed and ready to push Rask during training camp and probably serve as the No. 1 with the Providence (AHL) farm club.

We are right in the thick of the madness that March seems to offer each and every spring. The Minnesota state boys high school hockey tournament gave us not one but two thrilling championship overtime games. The Minnesota Twins are beginning to find solutions to their bullpen, rotation and regular starting nine. Offices everywhere are starting to get those last minute brackets in so that the endless talk of who people have in their final four can overtake the regular water cooler talk. All while production levels everywhere just seem to dicipate.
Then of course we have one of the best stories of all taking place right here in our own backyard.
The Anoka Tornadoes girls basketball team won not one but two games during the entire regular season. That's right two whole games. They started section play with an overall record of 2-24 and as the number 9 seed. They would take on number 8 seed Duluth Central for the right to play the number 1 seed Duluth east. The tornadoes' not only won both of those games but the two that followed to give them one of the most unlikely section championships that we have witnessed in quite some time. They also did so by outscoring their four opponents by a combined 56 points. The more amazing aspect of this story is that they are doing so in large part to four starting Freshmen who apparently weren't informed that they should be intimidated by players with more experience.
Aside from having one of the greatest nicknames that any of the state's schools has to offer, this team also has another thing to offer and that is belief. Granted the do open state tournament play today against the defending state champion Panthers from Lakeville South. They also have won 24 consecutive games this season and didn't lose a single game a year ago. They also feature two-time metro player of the year Rachel Banham who has been on the varsity team since she was an eighth grader.
There are very few things that become as intriguing as a David vs. Goliath Matchup especially at the High School level. In fact it could be said that the girls from Anoka simply weren't told that they don't belong in the state tournament. Either way this is a team that is playing with the house money, shouldn't be taken lightly and is giving us one of the best storylines that the month of March has to offer.

Top 10: Overlooked Doomsday Scenarios
Number 3
Vacuum metastability love triangleOnce upon a time, the universe was a lonely girl looking for love. Her first suitor, a bubble called False Vacuum — false because he was actually full of energy — was unstable and couldn't hold down a j-o-b. But her second suitor was gainfully employed as a full-time enigma, reflected in his name, Another Vacuum. He won her over, kicking False V to the curb by discharging a whole bunch of energy. The universe, her heart overflowing with love, began to expand.
Sadly, sometimes love cools. A new False Vacuum arrives, just as energetic as the first. Despite being equally as unstable as the first, and he benefits from a fickle girl's occasional preference for bad boys. He pops and zooms through the girl at a rate just under the speed of light. Swept off her feet, she alters the laws of physics and her heart explodes with energetic joy reminiscent of that first special night in the back seat. "My Big Bang," she recalls with more than a twinkle in her eye. Matter is shattered from coast to cosmic coast.
On the bright side: Vindication. For years you've been insisting that vacuums were romantic.
On the dark side: Hollywood rejects your script, suggesting you submit it to That's Ridiculous.
Number 2
Particle acceleration nationIn an effort to study primordial matter, scientists use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider in Upton, New York. They eagerly smash ions together at lightning speeds, similar to the way a child rams the vacant privates together of two reluctant dolls.
The amount of energy required is, relatively speaking, staggering and some fear a catastrophic chain reaction could create a black hole on the subatomic level, sucking us and light and everything into it. Another proposed disaster includes the unintentional creation of a bizarre form of matter called strangelets, which would run into ordinary matter and promptly make it disappear.
On the bright side: Strangelets remind you of sniglets, those hilarious words invented for common experiences.
On the dark side: Nanoo, nanoo = death by strangelets.
Number 1
Sun supernovaThe death of the sun appears to be the one sure thing on this list. In 5 billion years our sun will enter a phase termed "red giant," in which the sun will expand like a lazy waistline into the orbits of Mercury, Venus, and — depending on who you ask — Earth. It then becomes extremely dense and can explode as a type Ia supernova.
On the bright side: A court injunction regarding the name "supernova" prevents the sun from exploding.
On the dark side: The sun chooses "Type Ia: Supernova" and explodes anyway.
the sky is falling, the sky is fallingFor every proposed doomsday scenario, there is a scientist or madman arguing against popular opinion that his version will be the one to end the world. Still, you can relax: If the spoils of being right include a well-placed, "I told you so," then predicting the correct doomsday becomes self-defeating. It's not so easy to gloat when all your naysayers are gone.

Stimulus 2.0September 25, 2008 - by Donny Shaw
In the midst of a million rumors about a bi-partisan deal on a bailout, concrete details emerge of what Senate Democrats are putting in their second stimulus bill. Highlights include:
- Unemployment insurance extension
- Food stamps increase
- Low income heating assistance
- Increased Medicaid funding
- Funds for transportation infrastructure projects
…and much, much more (see Politco for all the details).
House Speaker Pelosi said today that she will bring a similar stimulus package to the floor as early as tomorrow. We'll update as soon s there's a bill. In the meantime, consider this one:
H.Res.504 – Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require that legislation and conference reports be available on the Internet for 72 hours before consideration by the House, and for other purposes.
UPDATE: The House's second stimulus bill:
H.R.l 7110 – Job Creation and Unemployment Relief Act of 2008
>Making supplemental appropriations for job creation and preservation, infrastructure investment, and economic and energy assistance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, and for other purposes.

The Zipp 202 Firecrest® Carbon Clincher Bicycle Wheel is all about aiming higher. Zipp took their classic 202 wheelset -- the legendary climber's companion -- and transformed it into a stiff, lightweight and aerodynamic speed weapon ideal for every road you travel. That's the power of Firecrest and Carbon Clincher technologies. At just 1,375 g/wheelset, the new 202 is the lightest entry in the Firecrest Carbon Clincher lineup. The Zipp® 202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher retains the classic 32 mm rim depth of its predecessor though, with the Firecrest profile, now has a wider 25.4 mm max rim width. The results redefine what's possible with a do-it-all classic road wheel.
Zipp's two most profound wheel innovations, the Firecrest rim shape and Carbon Clincher technology, form the foundation of the new 202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher. Firecrest rims have a near-constant width from brake track to spoke bed to improve aerodynamics and better control airflow. Zipp used Computational Fluid Dynamics software analysis to maximize aerodynamics and minimize wind-produced torque, resulting in a 202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher that is faster and better handling than a classic road wheel. Zipp's Firecrest rim shape improves stability by moving the wheel's center of pressure to sit almost directly over the steering axis, where wind-produced steering torque has a minimal effect.
Now, add to that Zipp's Carbon Clincher technology. Their exclusive resin, based on materials used in motorsports braking systems, effectively tolerates the incredible spikes in heat caused by braking to provide you with reliability and stopping power. Combine that with Tangente Platinum brake pads and you have unmatched performance, all with the ease of use of a clincher.
"The 202 Firecrest Carbon Clincher forced me to re-evaluate where I could ride such a light pair of wheels - besides the longest climbs I could find, it was really everywhere else that I realized how special they were," said Tim Johnson, veteran pro cyclist and member of the Cannondale prepared by Cyclocrossworld.com Professional Cyclocross Team. "My training has been varied and the 202 Firecrest was the perfect wheel in every situation. From motorpacing to TT work to dirt road climbs at elevation, they were always light, stiff and I could just toss in a new tube if I flatted."
Built with Zipp's 188 hubset the Zipp 202 comes with the new Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads, designed to provide optimal braking for carbon surfaces, including a greater surface area for maximum braking power, improved clearance to work with integrated brakes and a new groove pattern for improved braking in wet conditions.
Note: Zipp wheels for model year 2013 are compatible with cassettes of up to 11-speed to work with all modern drivetrains.

Brooklyn, NY (Sports Network) - The Brooklyn Nets officially signed guard C.J. Watson on Monday.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed but the New York Post reported earlier in July that it was a one-year deal worth the veteran's minimum with a player option for a second season.
Watson played in 49 games -- 25 starts -- for Chicago last season, and averaged 9.7 points and a career-high 4.1 assists.
After 2 1/2 seasons with the Warriors to start his NBA career, Watson was traded to Chicago prior to the 2010-11 season. Over five NBA campaigns, Watson holds averages of 7.8 points and 2.6 assists in 305 games.

JOANN DALGARD: By working together, we can ease other people's suffering
SAN ANGELO, Texas - "Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
"Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?
"Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare." (Isaiah 55:1-2 New International Version of the Bible)
So how are those who have no money supposed to eat? Jesus told his disciples, "You give them something to eat." (Matthew 14:16 NIV)
Like so many of us, the disciples were hesitant to offer their meager supplies. Perhaps they figured so little wouldn't even make a dent. Maybe they wanted to stave off their own hunger.
Acquiescing, they pooled their resources and the results were amazing.
"They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up 12 baskets full of broken pieces that were left over." (Matthew 14:20 NIV)
Another familiar passage of Scripture is: "He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise. (Luke 3:11 Revised Standard Version of the Bible)
Many people deplore welfare programs. Some may not want to hold people back in the long run by "enabling" them in the short term. Fraud and abuse have distorted these programs.
Although world population has passed 7 billion, many believe there are sufficient supplies to provide for them. Why then are people dying of hunger?
Various factors must be taken into account, one of which is apathy. It is not one-sided. Many poor feel no one hears their cries, so they remain silent.
On the other side, many are too involved in their own day-to-day living and leave "pesky details" to somebody else.
Not everyone is cut out to be a missionary to a foreign land, but there are ways to help that are within one's comfort zone.
Cuts to welfare programs have left many displaced, There must be a humane approach to the elimination of poverty. People are a valuable resource. They need to be taught the skills that will result in gainful employment.
The perceived downward spiral of both morale and economy is reversible. Let's work together and do this!

Shaun, do you know (did you train, perhaps?) a chef called Philip Baker who used to have a restaurant just outside Oxford? I ask because Philip often had a number of dishes on his menu that look similar to some of yours - the panettone bread and butter pudding, for example.
Do you know?

Battling pancreatic cancerThis year, in communities across the country, tens of thousands of people will participate in one of over 50 PurpleStride events. These events range in size from brief walks to longer timed-runs, but they all share one common goal — to end pancreatic cancer.
PurpleStride events contribute millions of dollars toward the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network to advance research, support patients and create hope. Funds help provide personalized support for patients and support research grants and advocacy efforts to increase federal pancreatic cancer research funding.
For participants, it is a journey toward hope that is filled with inspiration.
It is a time to honor loved ones fighting pancreatic cancer. It is a day when all of the family and friends of pancreatic cancer patients can come together in solidarity and gain both comfort and encouragement.
November is national pancreatic cancer awareness month.
Please help us create hope for a form of cancer that is on the rise. It is presently the fourth-leading cause of death in cancers. It is projected to rise to second by as early as 2015.

Having acne I was desperate to find something to cover it. I am so happy I discovered this foundation. It is amazing! A little does go a long way, even on my terrible skin. Cannot believe how nice even my skin looks when I wear this product. Can't rate it highly enough!

I love this product!!! I have been wearing Estée Lauder for years now and prior to purchasing the maximum coverage I was wear the Double Wear. I suffer from acne, acne scars, and pit mark on my cheeks. Nothing has covered them like this foundation! For the first time I finally feel like I look flawless! I'm still trying to figure out the best way to apply it, I've read the buffering brush works well so I'm going to try that! The makeup goes a long way so you don't need much and it feels like silk when you put it on! It doesn't even feel like you have foundation on! Also, I have a brown spots on my cheeks and forehead from sun damage, cover it completely! If you want flawless skin, spend the money on something that will actually work! You really do get what you pay for! It doesn't take much so it should last a long time! I love love love this product! Here's to feeling beautiful in your own skin!

This has been my favorite foundation for some time now, and I am most unhappy that this product has been discontinued in the lighter shades. I see that so many of us have posted reviews on Makeup Alley. Maybe we could all ask that it be re-introduced in the lighter shades, such as Creamy Ivory? I've done my part by asking EL on an online chat (numerous times when I've checked back to see if it's available.) Otherwise, does anyone know of a good substitute that will give this level of coverage, while not looking cakey and mask-like?

I had combo skin. it's really opaque and thick coverage. a little goes long way. if you wish to use this, you should exfoliate your face and moisturize really well, because this stuff really exaggerates your dry area. its also sets really fast, so you need to blend it fast too. im using sigma f80 and im doing partly. For me, if its sets I don't have to powder it, but If I only need a touch up during the day om using Mac Skinfinish face powder in soft gentle. Does not causing any problem to my face. its does transfer to tissue if im blot my face. i wish it have this non transfer ability of any estee lauder double wear had. long wearing, I could said its staight to 10 hours for my skin. I love the packaging also, so good for traveling. remember!! a LITTLE goes long wear if not your face wil looking CAKEY!!!!

I just have come to the end of suffering with aggressive cystic acne for the last 12 months. I now have extremely pigmented scars all over my face and none of my other foundations (benefit, mac, urban decay) will cover the marks as they are so severe. I have tested nearly every drugstore and high end foundation and still they do not cover my scarring.
I was recommended to use Dermablend by Vichy. Whilst this by far had the best coverage of all the foundations I tried, my scarring was still visible.
Then I tried the maximum cover and this has changed my life completely. It covers every single mark on my face and it makes me feel so much more confident about my appearance. It blends on smoothly, covers with only one layer and it feels like there is nothing on my skin.
I experimented applying it in different ways. The beauty blender thins it out and so, does not provide as much coverage. A flat foundation brush works well but personally, I see the best results with the real techniques buffing brush.
I also use the Estee Lauder matt primer underneath. The foundation goes on like a dream.

I used to use this as a foundation before I purchased the regular double wear foundation. This wasn't the best foundation for me as my cheek area would become patchy in 6 hours. However I absolutely love its finish and texture on my skin as it felt like I had a smooth layer on my face. This is an EXCELLENT concealer. I use this together with my regular double wear foundation. This would not budge and I would not have to worry about my pimplea showing through. It covers redness completely and you only need the tiniest, thinest layer as too much would cause cakiness. With the amount I use, I reckon this would last me for a decade. im not even kidding. If you are struggling with acne like I do and wish to find something to cover them up, try the maximum cover as a concealer and regular double wear as a foundation combination. It is expensive but you only need to buy this product once for it to last for years and it is so worth it. I cant rave enough about this.

I'm a skin tone that no one can seem to match. I'm not particularly dark but not particularly fair withers, so you'd think someone makes a product which will work for me but no! I've been to Shiseido, YSL, Dior and Bobbi Brown but I've always come up with too-dark or too-light formulas.
Because of this, I was a fair bit concerned about being colour matched when I stepped into Estée Lauder. While the service I received there was tepid, the SA did seem to know her stuff and she matched me perfectly (Shell Beige, No. 5). I left with a sample (which I recommend everyone here does) and have been using it since. Thankfully she was generous with the product, so I've been using it a few times a week for just over two months and can give you a comprehensive review.
Putting the product on is incredibly easy. I was concerned that I would make a mess as I am a makeup noob and despite watching YouTube videos all day, don't have the perfect technique down. I use my hands to apply the product but I've been told and have seen most using a foundation brush to apply it. I would not recommend layering this product as even a good colour match will look a bit off. I think if you use enough the first time (and you won't need much depending on your skin) you should be sweet and not need a second layer. Concealer/powder can be used to cover up any imperfections that may still be visible (I have terrible scarring and find my Za powder foundation does the trick in covering that last bit up).
The product doesn't go orange by oxidising and doesn't give that "white" look to the skin that I believe is caused by sunscreen. It also gives a matte finish which I don't mind as my skin is oily and tends to develop a sheen anyway during the day. You will need to add blusher, lipstick or some sort of colour to your face as this gives a flat look to your skin - the perfect base. I'm not sure if I am using as much as the other reviewers, but I don't find that this product lasts 12 hours but rather more 6-8 without powder and 1-2 hours longer with powder.
Just to sum up for those looking for quick facts:
Doesn't go orange
Doesn't give skin "white" look
Matte for those with oily faces
Doesn't break me out (strangely as I am prone to breakouts)
Good coverage for skin imperfections
Doesn't seep into pores and gives good base for extra makeup
Easy to apply with hands/brush
Lots of product which can be used for ages
Decent colour range for fair-medium clients (depending on what stores you go to)
The product in the bottle or container can separate into "oils" and other liquids, particularly if carried around in a purse/backpack
Fairly limited section for those who are very dark
May break some people out
May need to apply concealer/powder over it if you have very dark or prominent imperfections as it won't completely conceal some things

Firstly i would say if you have any dry skin this is not the foundation for you. i have normal to dry skin especially in the colder months, i have terrible dark circles and a few scars from a few breakouts but no acne or severe blemishes so far (touch wood) however i still prefer a full coverage foundation and thought id pick this up as i heard it totally covers everything and provides maximum coverage. This foundation is VERY matte, even if i apply a hefty amount of moisturiser before hand within an hour or so it'll be back to dull looking skin and gives a very washed out 'dead' appearance when worn. for my dark circles i had to do 2 layers until i was satisfied with the coverage and after a few hours i could see the pesky marks and dark circles showing through. since using this foundation i have also broke out in tiny skin coloured bumps on my cheeks and around my nose >.< the bottle itself i initially likes as its a squeezy tube so no need of the fuss of buying an extra pump etc like in some other foundations. after the first use however the foundation would leak out of the top as i don't think it is tight enough and gets everywhere once i unscrew the top and leads to waste of product. all in all for a foundation that is considered high end with a very high end price, i am disappointed. maybe for someone with oily or combination skin would suit this better, but for me its a big fat thumbs down :'(

This product is fantastic!! If your looking for a flawless FULL coverage foundation for problematic skin, this is the product for you. It covers all my redness, discoloration, acne breakouts, and all my acne scarring, without breaking you out! I have been using this product for years and have yet to find anything that compares to it. The only bad thing I can say is that its a little pricey, but a little goes a long way with this product(get about 7 months) so the price is worth it!!!

Maybe it's the nature of large annual festivals. Entropy is a law, after all. It happened to Lollapalooza right about the time Metallica showed up. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of skiing in Park City, Utah, during the Sundance Film Festival knows how much "indie cred" is left in that annual Hollywood hobnob hoedown. Hell, even CPAC, which hosted President Ronald Reagan a dozen times, is featuring Donald Trump this year. It's not that I think "The Donald" is a self-serving buffoon who is tailor-made to be a ringmaster for the twisted freakshow that is reality television; it's just that I think… Well, that's pretty much exactly what I think.
But down Austin, Texas, way, the ultimate cool-annual-gathering-gone-bad story is unfolding right in front of us. Once an almost painfully hip music and arts festival, South By SouthWest (SXSW) has morphed into another faux-hipster snotfest at which corporate-backed liberal icons indoctrinate smug twerps who might as well sport nametags that read "Hello, My Name Is: Low Information Voter." In all honesty, SXSW is welcome to invite, feature and obtain enormous corporate sponsorship deals from whomever the organizers wish. But I'm afraid the cool factor has melted away in a sea of liberal hypocrisy. Either that, or SXSW is actually what passes for hip these days, in which case the whole country is seriously screwed.
I'm willing to admit I'm not the coolest cat on the block. Not only was I alive when that reanimated corpse they're passing off as Madonna was "Like a Virgin," but I'm pretty sure I was alive when she still was a virgin. But I'm Jay-Z's next Grammy compared to one of the headliners at this year's SXSW.
Global warming inventor, alleged massage therapist-molester and foreign oil beneficiary Al Gore hit the stage to a roar of approval. While banners for Samsung, AT&T and other corporate giants fluttered in the Texas breeze, the nine-figure-fortune holder and private-jet traveler proffered leftist bons mots; and the evidently irony proof audience lapped up the tired platitudes like thirsty kittens.
The multimillionaire former Vice President and self-proclaimed Internet inventor took to lambasting income inequality, something he called the "stalker economy," so-called "global warming" (or whatever they're calling it this week) and even the coming plague of "spider goats." And then, in a moment that could happen only at a mass assembly of liberals, Gore fired off this non-sequitur: "The NRA is a complete fraud…" I guess it takes one to know one, right, Albert?
Instead of jeers, Gore's attack on the NRA earned a standing ovation. The epicenter of American cool, version 2013, got on its feet to cheer the greatest living exemplar of liberal hypocrisy for attacking a group he used to support over an issue with which it is unconnected in a place in which it would never be welcomed.
Either SXSW has declined into an orgy of corporate-co-opted pop entertainment or members of the next generation of American style makers and trendsetters are skinny jeans-wearing drones who honestly believe pabulum puked out by eco-nerds like Gore is manna from heaven. Now that I've thought about it, I think we might be screwed.

From Gitmo to Hamburg?
Three terror detainees may soon be sent to the city that gave us Mohamed Atta.
12:27 PM, May 8, 2010 • By JOHN ROSENTHAL
On first glance, the report in the popular German tabloid Bild could have seemed like a bad joke. "Guantánamo Detainees Slated to Go to Hamburg," the headline ran. "Despite protests…," the article began, "[German] Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maizière appears to be determined to accept three of the 183 suspected terrorists still detained at the US camp in Guantánamo." "After their arrival in Germany," it continued, "the detainees, who are allegedly not dangerous, are supposed to be housed at first in Hamburg, Bild has learned." Yes, Hamburg.
Ohmed Ahmed Mahamoud Al-Shurfa.
Source: Bild
The report, which was the talk of the German news media in the days before Chancellor Merkel's mid-April visit to the United States, went virtually entirely ignored by the American media. One of the few English-language news articles to touch upon it was a chatty English-language offering from the German wire service DPA, which emphasized Hamburg's "cosmopolitan," "multi-ethnic," "anything-goes" character. It did not mention that it was in precisely the "cosmopolitan," "multi-ethnic," "anything-goes" city of Hamburg that Mohamed Atta and the other members of the eponymous Hamburg Cell planned the 9/11 attacks.
The German-language responses were similarly discreet about Hamburg's infamous connection to Islamist terror and the worst-ever attack on the American homeland. There were criticisms and protestations. There have been indeed ever since it was first reported in the German media in May 2009 that the Obama administration had asked Germany to accept some Gitmo detainees who had been cleared for release. Those reports emerged just days after a visit to Berlin by Attorney General Eric Holder. More specifically, Daniel Fried, the State Department's Guantánamo point man, is reported to have submitted a list of "less than ten" candidates to German authorities. The debate flared up again in late March of this year when the German weekly Der Spiegel reported that a German delegation had visited Guantánamo in order to meet with several of the candidates.
The focus of the criticisms and protests, however, has been the potential risk that the detainees could represent for Germany. Above all, politicians from Chancellor Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), have raised objections. The governments of several German states governed by the CDU or CSU had already made clear their unwillingness to accept released detainees before the Hamburg option was floated. "In any case, none of them are getting into Bavaria," Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann told the Bayerischer Rundfunk radio in early April, "These are highly dangerous people."
The mass revolt of leading members of Merkel's own party appears indeed to be at the origin of the Hamburg option. Chancellor Merkel and Interior Minister de Maizière need the cooperation of state governments in order to be able to accept detainees. As it happens, the city-state of Hamburg is itself governed by a Christian Democratic mayor, if albeit as part of a highly original coalition consisting of Christian Democrats and Greens.
In any case, since the report of the Hamburg option emerged, one would be hard-pressed to find any German news article or commentary suggesting that there might be something peculiarly inappropriate about sending suspected al Qaeda or al Qaeda-linked militants to Hamburg of all places or even just venturing to bring up--to put it mildly--the "irony" of such a proposal. "Don't mention the Hamburg Cell" appears to have been well and truly the order of the day.

Epson PictureMate Show Is A $300 LCD Photo Frame With A Built-in Printer
Lifestyle 114 Views
Although it's not as slick looking as Sony's DPP-F700, the Epson Picture Mate Show (PM-300) ain't half bad. As you've probably guessed, it's essentially a 7-inch LCD photo frame with a printer for a base that can knock out 4×6 glossies in 37 seconds. At a $100 more than Sony's version they're gonna have a tough time trying to sell this thing, but hey, at least it has a 5 in 1 memory card reader and remote.

Swinburne told his friend George Powell on 22 May, 1867, that he was 'in the honourable agonies of portrait sitting - to Watts . . . he won't let me crop my hair, whose curls the British public (unlike Titian's) reviles aloud in the streets'.

My last post was my last post…if that makes sense. I have stepped out into a world where little hands (Charlie's and Maya's) take precedence and where writing is reserved for the academic and professional world.
But just as my days of crafting started feeling like a faint memory, I found myself wanting to create again…and this time for Christmas!
If you have not checked out my latest adventure combining my love for writing and design, please be sure to stop by my Facebook page, the Tulip House and the accompanying Etsy Tulip House site to hear about my designs and to purchase a one of a kind item for your home this holiday season.
Thank you again and perhaps I will pick up the personal pen a little more often in the near future!

Indians become third straight visiting team to win in rivalry
by Chris Goltermann
Of all the traditions that the rivalry between East Coweta and Newnan has brought over the first 22 meetings between football programs, another seemed to emerge out of the Indians' 24-7 victory at Drake Stadium on Friday.
The road to victory … has come by way of a short bus ride across the county.
For the third consecutive season, the visiting team got a chance to celebrate in the backdrop of their closest rival's home field.
Using a 56-yard touchdown run on a quarterback keeper by senior Bryce Gemmel to take a lead for good on the second snap of the game, East Coweta was able to both clinch a state playoff berth and secured a chance to return to the reservation at Garland Shoemake Stadium after leapfrogging the Cougars for second place in Region 3-AAAAAA.
The Indians will now host Lowndes, the No. 3 seed from 1-AAAAAA, next Friday, while the loss pushed Newnan into third place from 3-AAAAAA and assured a trip to Moultrie to face Colquitt County, 1-AAAAAA's runner-up.
The win also gave East Coweta a 12-10 series lead over the Cougars and first rights to the Brantley-Knott Water Cooler trophy.
It was a far cry from where East Coweta was a week earlier following its most disappointing loss of the year at home against Douglas County, one that left the Indians' playoff status in jeopardy.
On Friday, the Indians outgained Newnan 308-246 and, more importantly, made fewer mistakes, running the ball nearly the entire second half and racking up nearly as many yards (244) on the ground as the Cougars, who hurt themselves with two fumbles, an interception and a costly turnover on downs with just over two minutes to play trailing 10-7 on East Coweta's 33-yard line.
A 180-degree turn on Friday for East Coweta (5-5, 3-2) was more than enough to satisfy head coach Clint Wade, who literally had to wade through a sea of bodies, some in celebration, others with helmets tucked low, to finally reach wife Lorraine and family for a hug.
'We looked like a different team tonight. That's the way we should have been playing all season,' he said. 'I'm proud of our players and I'm especially proud of our coaching staff. They did a heck of a job. I'm just the figurehead, so to speak. Newnan's got a heck of a team. But our kids were resilient.'
Carrying the early 7-0 lead into halftime, East Coweta took advantage of two Newnan turnovers in the second half, made a key defensive stop leading 10-7 with just under two minutes to play, just when the Cougars found a groove on offense, and then put the game out of reach two snaps later on Weylin Orr's 66-yard jaunt.
Hampered by injury not long after opening the year with a four-touchdown effort to beat Henry County, Orr was finally able to contribute again for East Coweta to close the regular season, finishing the win over the Cougars with a 126-yard effort and a touchdown on 12 carries.
'After that game against Henry County, it had been frustrating. But tonight I was able to help my team,' said Orr, who broke up the middle, eluded an tackler near his ankles and made a cut for the sidelines before outracing the rest of the pack and stretching the ball at the goal-line. 'I was looking for the zone.'
Gemmel's second score in the closing minute - one that was designed more to keep the clock running with a forward push, according to Wade, who said he 'didn't want to score' in that situation - may have sealed the win. The senior quarterback finished with 89 yards rushing on 11 carries, none more crucial than his first attempt on a fake handoff.
'He's a great athlete,' said Newnan head coach Mike McDonald. 'We knew he was going to be a factor in the game at some point. He found a hole and we didn't adjust.'
But a 10-7 game with just over two minutes to go in the game boiled down to two plays. The first kept the Cougars from continuing a sixplay drive from the East Coweta 33 yard-line in a three-point deficit.
Newnan broke through on a nine-play drive that carried into the fourth quarter, scoring on a 31-yard catch and run from quarterback Bailey Bryant to Dee Snelling, who cut back on a defender and ran diagonally to the left pylon to close within a field goal with 9:07 to play. The possession was salvaged by a heads-up play that had Bryant diving on a Cougar fumble and then converting the touchdown pass one play later after Newnan was called for a false start.
The Cougars then quickly marched 35 yards on two plays to open its next possession after forcing an East Coweta punt, getting the ball to the Indians' 28 before a costly delay-of-game penalty set up fourth and 15. A throw from Bryant eluded the reach of an open Chrishawn Dix and fell to the turf incomplete.
Two snaps later, Orr was headed the other direction to put the game out of reach.
'We gave up two big plays and we turned it over a couple of times. We had some opportunities and we weren't able to connect. You've got to give credit to East Coweta. They played hard and they played well,' McDonald said. 'We had our opportunities and we just missed.'
The Indians had pushed it to 10-0 on Cole Antley's 19-yard chip shot off the first miscue and then putting an exclamation point on the victory in the closing two minutes when Gemmel barreled in from the two for a 24-7 lead with 25 seconds remaining shortly after an interception by teammate Michael Singleton.
Outside of Gemmel's 56-yard touchdown run 14 seconds into the game, the first half was as much a see-saw battle of field position between rivals that included swapping possessions on lost fumbles.
Newnan looked to catch a break after recovering a high snap from center that was recovered by senior defensive end Chris Porter at the East Coweta 22.
But the Cougars coughed the ball up immediately when a short pass to the right received a quick push from the Indians defense, which ripped the ball loose andc it was fallen on by Indian senior Devonte Parker.
