Three boys hurt by falling tree at Spencer cricket club in Earlsfield
10:57 17 June 2012
Two nine-year-old boys suffered serious head injuries, and a third was taken to hospital, when a tree fell on them at a cricket pitch in south-west London.
The boys had been waiting to use practice nets at The Spencer Club in Earlsfield when the tree crashed down.
The boys, one of whom suffered leg injuries, were rushed to hospital.
The incident happened on Saturday afternoon after strong winds buffeted parts of south London.
A statement from The Spencer Club said the boys' conditions were being assessed and: "Naturally, the club's thoughts are with those young ones and their families.
"As soon as we have had word from the hospital and the parents we shall be issuing another statement. In the meantime, all cricket at the ground has been suspended."
The uprooted tree remained lying across the cricket pitch last night.
Monique Wilkinson, 33, was holding a birthday party for her three-year-old daughter at her home when she heard the tree fall.
She said: "We could see the kids stuck under the tree and there were a lot of people around. It's terrible. These kids play on the field every weekend.
"The air ambulance landed in the field across the road from us and there were four or five ambulances in total. The emergency services seemed to have everything under control.
"Another tree came down on this road earlier in the day which shows how bad the winds were."

Hands-On: Belkin Thunderstorm Handheld Home Theater
We take a closer peek at the company's iPad case/speaker add-on accessory.
Today's portable devices are an endless source of entertainment. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, YouTube, Pandora, and Spotify don't even scratch the surface of what you can get with a web connection. It's a mind-boggling number of options. However, for some reason, those portable devices can't seem to project any sort of decent sound.
Belkin is hoping to create a little rumble with its new Thunderstorm, a "handheld home theater" designed specifically for the iPad. With a name like that, I was thinking it would ring out like the sound system of the gods or something. That's not entirely true, but it definitely is an interesting product.
Out of the box, the Thunderstorm is basically two pieces. There's a power cord and the Thunderstorm, which has its own flip-up cover. That cover is magnetic and bendable, so you can contort it to prop up the iPad in a variety of positions. That's an important perk here. The Thunderstorm doesn't just rock out your iPad content, but it actually holds that iPad in whatever position you deem to be most comfortable. Those options aren't exactly endless, but there are multiple angles to appreciate here.
Designed to work with the iPad 2 and third-gen iPad, the portable connects to the Thunderstorm via a little latch with the 30-pin connector. Pull that out (gently!), place the iPad in the groove of the Thunderstorm, push the latch in, and you're ready to rock — literally. Once the iPad is docked, it won't just "fall" out; even if you tilt it upside down and shake it a little. Another nice perk is that the Thunderstorm will charge the iPad when it's docked and plugged in.
The Thunderstorm itself isn't very complicated. On the side, there's a little button to wake up the iPad. On top, there's a switch to mute/un-mute the sound and a volume toggle. Most of the time, I thought it was easier to adjust the volume on-screen, but it's nice to have a quick mute option or a little something for when access to the audio isn't readily available on-screen. The Thunderstorm does get pretty darn loud.
The iPad on its own is very cool, but the sound is just sort of hollow and maybe even a little tinny. The Thunderstorm gives it life — and yes, it actually turns the iPad into a little home theater. I got to test out a variety of musical genres, movie clips and even games. The system could really crank the iPad's volume, all without getting distorted. Music was detailed and just really fun to crank up.
It's important to note that some audio sounded better than others, but that's just the nature of the web. A lot of YouTube clips won't sound as good as the stuff from iTunes. Then again, if you do a little searching, you'll find a lot of content to get the Thunderstorm rumbling. I checked out trailers from Iron Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as the melee of "Hero's Duty" from Wreck It Ralph, the bank robbery from The Dark Knight, and the lobby shoot-'em-up from The Matrix. Some of them, I had to actually turn down. They were really loud, but never distorted. Good luck getting that out of a stand-alone iPad or other add-on speakers at this price point, let alone ones that you can stuff into a backpack.
Another nice perk is that this system doesn't technically have to be plugged in. The Thunderstorm has its own internal battery, which can power the iPad when you're in a car, on a plane, or in the backyard.
Like most iOS devices, Belkin has a companion app for the Thunderstorm, simply called Thunder. Designed in conjunction Audifi, this free app allows you to tweak some of the sound that's projecting from the Thunderstorm. Basically, it has three modes. Normal is designed for music and web content, Wide is made for movies, and Super Wide opens things up for the ultimate gaming experience. In all honestly, I found the best results with the Super Wide setting. Some of those aforementioned hollow-sounding tracks will probably do better on the Normal setting. For the most part, however, I liked rocking out with the wider setting.
The $200 price tag and the bulk that this device adds to your iPad may be an initial turnoff. However, you don't want to shield yourself from this Thunderstorm. It's a nifty little add-on that can rock your iPad at home and on the go.
Belkin Thunderstorm Features
- Ported speaker system.
- Free Thunder app.
- Multi-fold cover for different viewing angles.

Four of the five officials asked to appear at Friday's Government Oversight Committee hearing in connection with a document shredding incident have said they won't attend.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Several Maine Centers for Disease Control officials have declined a request to appear before a legislative oversight committee on the possible mishandling and destruction of public documents.
The Portland Press Herald reports that four of the five officials asked to appear at Friday's Government Oversight Committee hearing have said they won't attend, citing an email from the health department's legal counsel.
Sharon Leahy-Lind, a former Maine CDC employee, has said she was ordered to shred documents on the scoring and selection process for health program funds that were sought in an open-records request. She's sued the state and a top official at CDC.
Democratic Sen. Emily Cain of Ororo, co-chair of the committee, says Leahy-Lind has notified the committee that she'll attend, but the other four officials have declined.

- Abstract
- This study examines business students' individual values and their perception of their university's values and the relationship between these values and affective organisational commitment. Findings indicate that both groups of business students rated their personal values as consistent with the rankings of the major pan—cultural values with strong ethical orientation and self—development and learning values. In both educational institutions organisational vision values and individual conservatism values predicted affective commitment. Findings also indicate statistically significant differences between the students' personal values and their perception of their university's values, suggesting a degree of lack of P—O fit between the students' values and their university's values.

Star Trek Bridge Commander
Quincentennial MOD (03 of 07)
This Mod allows the player to immerse themselves in one of fifteen unique time periods spanning a five century timeline from the early 20th to the late 24th. It also allows for this game play to be carried out as several different races.
Show All
Show All
The Quincentennial MOD incorporates and vastly improves upon nearly every major Bridge Commander Modification to date; but is completely incompatible with all of them in their original form as they've been completely overhauled and are complexly interconnected. This is a standalone Mod requiring only Patch 1.1 and BCMI for using the plugins. Any other Mod installed on top of this one with result in non-functionality or, at best, many errors. The Mod comes in seven zip files: six of which contain the contents that must be extracted into your Bridge Commander game folder ("Quincentennial_MOD_02_of_07" through "Quincentennial_MOD_07_of_07"). The first zip file (Quincentennial_MOD_01_of_07) has a zip file that must be extracted into the folder you keep your Bridge Commander shortcut in. It contains plugins that are required for selecting what type of game-mode you wish to play, the type of crew you wish to have and what era to play in. The "Game Modes" plugins take precedence over others. The "Select Crew" and "Select Era" plugins should be selected after if desired. The features of this Mod are far too numerous to list but I will cover a few things concerning functionality that aren't intuitive. I will then give a quick overview of the Mod and some highlights.
Non intuitive functionalities:
The buttons
Most of the buttons are only visible when applicable. For example, the transporter menu only appears providing you have a transporter installed; if the friendly ship your targeting has a transporter installed and you don't, you'll be given a transport button where the transporter menu normally appears in the science menu. Same goes for transporting troops for capturing ships; if you have a transporter installed in your ship, you will be given the buttons for capturing if you're targeting an enemy vessel and its shields are week enough. Most Buttons operate in this fashion.
Bussard Collectors
The bussard collectors are automatically open during warp however, you can manually open them for a one min interval. Doing this in a nebula will recharge your power reserves.
Warp power consumption
Traveling at warp speeds now requires energy; as it, of course, should. The faster one travels, the more energy required. So be aware of power settings with some ships.
Sensor Array Emissions
Depending on the capacity of your sensor array, specific particle emissions are available. Muons will temporarily disrupt your targets targeting ability; Omicrons will boost your targets shields (to be used on friendlies); Tachyons will force your target to reset their shields causing them to drop for one sec. Tetryons will temporarily disable your targets energy directed weapons. All emissions require and use energy from reserves.
Capturing Star Systems
This is simply accomplished by orbiting a planet in the enemy system you wish to acquire while being accompanied by a significantly sized fleet; if you're the Borg, your one cube will be sufficient. If you capture an enemy system prior to their defense fleet arriving, the system will fall back into enemy hands upon their arrival. You will not be able to capture the system until all enemy defenses are eradicated.
Hyper-gates, conduits, vortices, etc…
A button will present itself in the helm menu when one of these options is available. In some cases, a course selection will be required to activate the function. Also, the "Set Course" button will only appear when needed.
Hull Plating
Shield-less ships utilizing alternative protection are powered the same as shields.
Warp-core breach in progress
In the event of an eminent core-breach, the core must be repaired to full health to avoid destruction. You will have only one minute to accomplish this.
The docking system is fairly intuitive however, one might be confused when targeting a station like DS9 while piloting a Galaxy Class and noticing the "Dock and Board" button being highlighted; Obviously, the ship can't dock in the shuttle hangers. What this means is that, if you select "Dock and Board", the ship will dock and you will board the station. The ship will be safely docked in an appropriate location.
Bajoran Wormhole
The wormhole is now a nav-point rather than an object. You'll need to be within a certain distance from it for your "Wormhole Options" to function.
Warp speed travel time
While traveling at warp, you'll experience one second for every day it would take to make the trip in real life. This may seem fast however, when operating low-warp vehicles such as the pre-NX ships of the early 22ed century, you might want to go make a cup of coffee while making the trip.
Embark Vs. Missions
In the Main Menu, there's an "Embark" and a "Missions" option. "Embark" will launch a basic quick-battle setup. "Missions" will allow you to select missions pertaining to the time period and race you've selected. For example: if your part of a Star Fleet crew in the early 23ed century, you'll have the option to experience the VEGR mission. I have plans to provide many more missions for each game-mode in the near future.
Annoying bridge chatter
If you're like me, I play the game with "Voice" unselected in the sound menu. If you do mute it, restart the game after doing so and the dialogue boxes will not pop-up when the bridge crew tries to speak causing the music silencing that disrupts game play.
Silent Running
You'll need to be a certain distance away for silent running to function. It makes no sense that you would turn off your power and suddenly become invisible to a ship you were just engaged in combat with.
Everyone who's contributed the models and major scripts on BCfiles.com which I've extensively modified; particularly, the designers of Galaxy Charts, DS9 effects and GFX.

A letter written by Gary Dielman and printed by the Baker City Herald was recently forwarded to me. Mr. Dielman raised a number of questions about Steve Brocato's past job experience and his qualifications to hold the job of city manager.
I have direct knowledge of Steve's capabilities, character and history and would like to provide some clarification.Steve is a strong leader, and like most strong leaders, he can be rough around the edges and irritating at times. But he's smart, he's principled and he's tenacious and I believe that Baker City is lucky to have his services.
I hired Steve in 1981 from an ocean carrier to work at Trans Ocean Leasing (TOL), a container leasing company in San Francisco. Over the next few years we kept in contact but moved in different directions within the company. Steve moved from a sales manager in San Francisco to manager of TOL's Midwest office in Chicago.
In 1983, I participated in the startup of a new leasing company called Leasing Partners International (LPI) based in the United Kingdom. As the company expanded, we opened an office in the U.S. and offered the manager's job to Steve. After six months with us, Steve opened an office in San Francisco to start up operations in North and South America. He traveled a lot, worked entirely on his own and succeeded in breaking through serious competition from some much larger companies. During this period, Steve was a leader in establishing computer network usage within the company (against a lot of resistance from people like me!). In about 1986, he was promoted to Vice President of the Americas, based in San Francisco with a small staff.
At the time, our entire organization, with offices in Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S., probably didn't exceed 15 people worldwide (we utilized Information Technology to keep the head count down). The company was prospering — we had grown from a startup fleet of 150 refrigerated containers to about 8-10,000 units. We then purchased another leasing company called IEA, also based in San Francisco that specialized in dry containers based on Limited Partnerships sold throughout the U.S. This was a stressful period during which some employees expressed frustration at the takeover of a larger company by the smaller LPI.
In about 1993, the two companies were merged into one with a new name, The Cronos Group. Steve was promoted to Vice President Corporate Affairs, a position that was heavily involved in the public offering that was soon to follow. Steve was responsible for all public interaction, including the press, NASDAQ, brokerage firms, lawyers, investors and shareholders. In 1995, after much accounting and legal scrutiny typical of all companies seeking a public offering, The Cronos Group was successfully launched on the NASDAQ (CRNS) with the assistance of Morgan Stanley and Alex Brown Co's. At that time, our fleet totaled about 15,000 refrigerated, 200,000 dry and about 2,000 tank containers.
I might add that the company had grown to 17 offices with over 150 employees worldwide making Cronos one of the top ten container lessors worldwide. It was an amazing achievement taking the company from essentially zero to a listing on a New York Stock Exchange in less than 10 years. Steve played an integral role in this achievement.
As Mr. Dielman says, in about 1997, while Steve was VP Corporate Affairs, it was noticed by our auditors that certain funds transferred by European investors had never been received by the company. This resulted in an investigation by the SEC and the eventual removal of the Chairman, who incidentally was also the largest shareholder at that time. Steve was in no way involved nor were any of the other officers in the company. A number of organizational changes were made in an effort to "steady the ship" including the appointment of Steve as president. Steve and other officers worked diligently to find a "white knight" to become the majority shareholder but without success.
During this period a good deal of internal bickering was going on and after awhile, Steve not sensing any clear solution, and wanting to start a family (and stop the travel) resigned and returned to the U.S.
So that briefly describes Steve's history as I knew it. I hope that my comments will help to "clear the air."

Sweet talker Elise Murphy is working with Emily Kocaj to organise the Sweets festival and exhibition. Elise is responsible for community festivals at the Immigration Museum and has a very sweet tooth.
There is only one day to go before the Sweets: tastes and traditions from many cultures exhibition opens and five days until the Sweets Festival takes place at the Immigration Museum.
The team have been very busy installing the exhibition over the past two weeks and it is looking fantastic. Each of the communities represented – Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mauritian and Turkish – have a display showcasing their beautiful cooking implements and serving objects. Delicate Turkish coffee cups with intricate designs sit alongside Italian marzipan fruits and elegant Japanese models of wagashi, which would convince anyone that they were the real thing!

Final touches are being put to the recipe wall, featuring home-made recipes created by the communities. You'll be able to jot down the ingredients for a syrupy, nutty baklava and learn how to make boondi ladoos, a favourite Indian sweet of Lord Ganesha. We've left space for you to leave some of your own favourite sweets recipes too.
It has been wonderful seeing the exhibition and festival come together over the last couple of weeks and to see all the ideas generated with the communities come to life. We hope that you will feel inspired to cook some recipes or sample a sweet at the Melbourne establishments that specialise in them – many of which you will find at the Sweets Festival this Sunday.
On festival day, we advise skipping breakfast to tuck straight into a mouth-watering array of sweet (and savoury) confections – from bites of nougat and tastings of sour cherry sherbet to baklava available by the piece or the half kilo. Enjoy plenty of other tempting performances, cooking demonstrations and workshops that will get your tastebuds dancing.
Do you really need another excuse to come along and immerse yourself in whole new realms of sweetness?
We'll give you a whole table full!

Sweet talker Emily Kocaj is working with Elise Murphy to organise the Sweets festival and exhibition. She manages community exhibitions at the Immigration Museum and delights in tasting sugary creations from around the world.
The Immigration Museum is working on something very special and super sweet. For the last few months we have been collaborating with five sweets-loving Victorian communities to create Sweets: tastes and traditions from many cultures, a delicious exhibition and festival that are part of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival and Cultural Diversity Week in March 2012.
Members of the Indian, Italian, Japanese, Mauritian and Turkish communities have come together with the museum to jointly explore the historical and cultural significance of sweets. This unique project has seen us sharing sweet stories, traditions and recipes with the communities, not to mention fantastic creations from their kitchens!

The community representatives have delighted each other (and us) with a steady stream of treats at each Sweets committee workshop – from crisp, syrupy baklava, tangy limone tiramisu, cloud-like mochi, rose-scented gulab jamun, gorgeous pink napolitains and numerous other delicious morsels.

As well as sharing these gorgeous confections, the communities have been working incredibly hard on the exhibition and festival. In further posts we will show you sneak peeks of what will be happening on festival day and in the exhibition, both opening on Sunday 18 March 2012.

34 Dragon Age Cosplay Pics
It's Dragon Age II week, which meant I would do a Dragon Age cosplay gallery. Weirdly, there isn't nearly as much Dragon Age cosplay out there in the world as you would expect, which sucks for two reasons: the Morrigan costume is a perfect ho-ish costume, and people dress up as f–king Darkstalkers characters and nobody cares about Darkstalkers now. (Shut up!)

The Shoppers are a gang in GTA Vice City. Although they do not use any weapons and don't attack the player or other gangs, the in-game stats cosiders them a "gang".
The Shoppers can be found inside the North Point Mall. They often stand in groups of three or more. They are not violent. When the player attacks them, they run and do not retaliate. They do not appear in rampages, but may appear in Vigilante missions. Also, one of the male models can be seen as part of the Costa Rican gang in the mission The Fastest Boat. Another male model can be seen running around Vice City as a street criminal, chased by the VCPD, awarding the player 50$ if attacked.
- The Shoppers and the Golfers are the only gangs in GTA Vice City that contain female gang members, although the shoppers have more than one female model.
- The Shoppers have the most member models of all gangs in Vice City (other gangs have 2 member models, the Shoppers have 5)
- The Shoppers are the only gang seen exclusively in an interior. Other gangs seen in interiors are Diaz' Gang, Vercetti Gang and Patrol Invest Group, but those can also be seen outside interiors.
- Killing the Front Page Café Owner in Bar Brawl raises the statistics of gang members killed, and he is added to the number of Shoppers killed.
- During the rampage inside the North Point Mall, the player is required to kill members of a different gang with a Rocket Launcher. Altough members of the other gang appear, clusters of Shoppers also appear. They, however, do not add to the number of gang memebers killed required to pass the rampage.

"Virtuosic." "A prodigy." "Genius." These words were written in the 1760s about Mozart—Maria Anna Mozart. When she toured Europe as a pianist, young Maria Anna wowed audiences in Munich, Vienna, Paris, London, the Hague, Germany and Switzerland. "My little girl plays the most difficult works which we have … with incredible precision and so excellently," her father, Leopold, wrote in a letter in 1764. "What it all amounts to is this, that my little girl, although she is only 12 years old, is one of the most skillful players in Europe."

The young virtuoso, nicknamed Nannerl, was quickly overshadowed by her brother, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, five years her junior. But as one of Wolfgang's earliest musical role models, does history owe her some measure of credit for his genius?
"That's a very interesting question," says Eva Rieger, retired professor of music history at the University of Bremen and author of the German-language biography Nannerl Mozart: Life of an Artist in the 1800s. "I've never really considered that possibility, and I don't know of anyone who has before."
Such a suggestion may seem far-fetched to Mozart fans and scholars. "To answer the question of how much Nannerl influenced Wolfgang musically, I would say not at all," says Cliff Eisen, professor of music at King's College in London and editor of the Cambridge Mozart Encyclopedia. "I'm not sure there is evidence that the dynamic was in any way exceptional beyond what you might think between one relatively talented musician and one who far outshines the other."
Not so fast, say other scholars. "No musicians develop their art in a vacuum," according to Stevan Jackson, a musical sociologist and anthropologist at Radford University in Radford, Virginia. "Musicians learn by watching other musicians, by being an apprentice, formally or informally." Being in a musical family with a musical sibling, in particular, can heighten one's musical interest, expertise and musical drive, Jackson says.
Leopold Mozart, a court musician, began teaching Maria Anna, his first-born child, to play harpsichord when she was 8 years old. She progressed quickly, with 3-year-old Wolfgang often at her side. After a few years, Wolfgang tried to play sections from Maria's music book. "Over time, Nannerl's playing became more and more brilliant, her technique perfect," Rieger says. "Young Wolfgang was probably impressed by that and inspired to play."
Wolfgang's early forays into music-making took his father by surprise. "'This minuet and trio were learned by Wolfgang in half an hour, at half-past nine at night on the 26th of January 1761, one day before his fifth birthday,'" Leopold jotted in Nannerl's music book, according to Maynard Solomon's Mozart: A Life. Because of Wolfgang's apparent aptitude, Leopold soon launched his son's music education instead of waiting until the boy was 8.
Those three years could have made a real difference in Wolfgang's brain development, says Gottfried Schlaug, director of the Music and Neuroimaging Laboratory at Harvard Medical School. He and his colleagues have found remarkable differences between the brains of professional musicians and nonmusicians; the most pronounced differences showed up in musicians who began their training before age 7. "An early start seems to rewire the brain more dramatically," Schlaug says.
Wolfgang's early musical start also had the benefit of two teachers, his father and his sister. "Nannerl was of an age where she understood and was more aware of what her father was doing," says Noel Zahler, director of the School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University. "Nannerl probably interpreted for Wolfgang and reinforced for Wolfgang what Leopold was trying to teach. She showed him that music is not only fun, but a way to communicate without words."
That education continued as the children began performing together. In 1762, Maria, 11, and Wolfgang, 6, traveled to Munich to play for Elector Maximilian III. "The little child from Salzburg and his sister played the harpsichord," Count Karl von Zinzendorf wrote in his diary, which is cited in Otto Erich Deutsch's Mozart: A Documentary Biography. "The poor little fellow plays marvelously. He is a child of spirit, lively, charming. His sister's playing is masterly, and he applauded her."

Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said Wednesday that the meeting is only worthwhile if it's focused on finding a solution to the government shutdown. Buck said only the elected leadership and select committee chairmen will attend—18 lawmakers out of the 232 invited.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama was disappointed that Boehner was "preventing his members from coming to the White House." Carney, pinning blame for the shutdown on House Republicans, said the president wanted to talk directly with "the members who forced this economic crisis on the country about how the shutdown and a failure to pay the country's bills could devastate the economy."
Obama met Wednesday afternoon with the House Democratic caucus.
The White House said Obama also would meet separately Thursday with the Senate Democratic caucus. A meeting with the Senate Republican caucus also was expected soon.
Republicans are demanding talks on deficit reduction and Obama's health care law before approving spending legislation. Obama has said he won't negotiate until the budget is approved and the debt ceiling lifted, with no strings attached.

This Apple-1 is believed to be one of only a half dozen still functioning. (Credit: Auction Team Breker)
A German "Auction of Firsts" includes relics and creations from tech luminaries from Pascal to Woz and Jobs.paranoid lawmakers and pub owners), but don't toss it out!
If an auction later this month of computing and other technological blasts from the past is any indication, it could pay off to hold on to those obsolete gadgets that were once on the cutting edge, even just briefly.
The highlight of the sale, planned for May 25 by German auction house Breker, is an original, working Apple-1, one of only 200 that were produced and 50 that are believed to still exist. Last year, Sotheby's auctioned off just an original Apple-1 motherboard for $374,500.
The lot up later this month includes all the system components, plus the original manual and a letter to the original owner signed by Steve Jobs. Breker sold another Apple-1 for a record $640,000 at a previous auction, and estimates that this one -- the auction house claims it is one of only six functioning systems -- could fetch up to $400,000.
While the Apple-1 and its younger sibling, the Apple Lisa-1, are the auction lots with the greatest name recognition, the three centuries of technological history represented in this "Auction of Firsts" stretch from a replica of Blaise Pascal's 17th century mechanical calculator to the machines that brought about revolutions in recording, encryption, and, of course, personal computing.
(Credit: Auction Team Breker)
Another Apple first in the May 25 auction is one of the first mouse-controlled systems, the Lisa-1. It had a very short run in the 1980s before giving way to the more reliable Lisa-2 and eventually, the Macintosh. Breker estimates it will fetch up to $40,000 at auction.
(Credit: Auction Team Breker)
The MITS Altair 8800 from 1974 pre-dated Apple and is often credited with kicking off the age of the PC. The Altair made headlines in early 1975 and also inspired Jobs and Woz, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, and many hilarious portrayals of computers in early 1980s Hollywood flicks.

Sunrise, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Steve Ott and Cody Hodgson scored late in
the third period to send Buffalo past Florida, 3-1, on Friday.
Rasmus Ristolainen supplied a second-period marker and Jhonas Enroth tied a
career best with 44 saves for the Sabres, who won for just the second time in
12 outings this season (2-9-1).
Jesse Winchester provided the sole offense for the Panthers, who received 18
stops from Jacob Markstrom in their fifth loss in six contests.
Buffalo assumed the lead for good with 7:18 remaining in regulation. Christian
Ehrhoff let a shot fly from the left point and Ott, providing an uncontested
screen, was allowed to tip the go-ahead score past Markstrom.
The Panthers skated 6-on-5 for the last 71 seconds of the game, but Hodgson
hit the empty net with 47 seconds to play.
Despite an 18-4 shot advantage to begin the contest, Florida's lone offense
was generated on Winchester's redirection of a Bergenheim offering to finish
off a 3-on-2 break and give the hosts a 1-0 lead with 6:02 left in the opening
Ristolainen's floater from the right point sailed through traffic cleanly and
settled into the net on the far side with 6:28 remaining in the second.
"Ristolainen has a nice shot; he's got a good shot from the point," Buffalo
head coach Ron Rolston said. "That was the difference tonight, as our
offensive blueline work was better."
Enroth remained true on 16 second-period shots by Florida, then stopped 11
more in the final 20 minutes.
"The game was in doubt right until the final minute so I don't think we
tightened up," Florida head coach Kevin Dineen said. "We continued to get
scoring chances and the push was there. It's a hard loss for us."
Enroth made 44 stops in a 3-2 shootout loss against the Ottawa Senators on
Dec. 31, 2011 ... Buffalo featured four players who have yet to reach their
20th birthday in the lineup on Friday: Zemgus Girgensons, Mikhail Grigorenko,
Nikita Zadorov and Rasmus Ristolainen ... The last time the Sabres dressed
four teens in one game was in 1982-83 when Dave Andreychuk, Paul Cyr, Phil
Housley and Hannu Virta skated for Hall of Fame head coach Scotty Bowman.

While at the Bikini Bottom Mall, SpongeBob and Patrick find shirts that say Best Friend with an arrow pointing. This arrow points to the side (indicating their best friend). However, when either of the them face a different direction, the arrow points elsewhere, thus "sending out the wrong signals." So, they decide to look for new friendship clothes. SpongeBob finds a group of citizens who were putting on an annual event, which was reenacting the historical Battle of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Patrick approach them and then SpongeBob ask one of the soldiers where did him and his friends get their cool outfits. However, the fish stated that he didn't have friends and that he hates just about everyone here. SpongeBob then hears about the Battle of Bikini Bottom. He is told that there were two factions, the clean, who spend all their time washing their hands and the dirty, who had better things to do then wash their hands. They then had a war over who is better. Patrick tells SpongeBob the tale wrong, saying that the dirty won, annoying the other fish, and making them walk away. SpongeBob and Patrick begin to argue and then they get uniforms and start their own war. After many times of attacking each other, SpongeBob gets dirtier while Patrick ends up cleaner. Patrick then picks his nose and chases SpongeBob into the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob runs by Mr. Krabs yelling that Patrick is digging for "gold", which he takes for real. SpongeBob attacks Patrick with food until Patrick grabs two Krabby Patties and uses them for socks. Angrily, SpongeBob fills up with fury making him blow up. Outside SpongeBob swallows a soap bar while Patrick picks up a trash can and then they attack each other. The fish reenacting the battle come and see the two friends forgiving each other and tells them that it's not over until they have winner. SpongeBob then explains to them to not remember events that divide them, but recall what brings them together. Then the guys who were doing the reenactment chose to something 'more manly': knitting fluffy sweaters.

- It's shown SpongeBob may want to physically hurt Patrick since when they were fighting in the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob looked at the knife before throwing the onions at Patrick
- The Battle of Bikini Bottom could be a parody of the Revolutionary War, judging from the military uniforms. The red-coated soldiers have British accents in the flashback, and the bluecoats have American accents. This is a reversal of the actual war, in which the Patriots wore blue, and the British wore red.
- This episode was set to premiere with "Banned in Bikini Bottom" but aired with "20,000 Patties Under the Sea" instead.
- In Indonesia, the flashback of ice cream is cut for unknown reason.
- This is the second time Patrick is in garbage. The first being "Missing Identity".
- SpongeBob said that Patrick didn't have a nose, but in "Opposite Day", he had a piece of coral for a nose to be Squidward, in "Survival of the Idiots", he had one made of snow, in "Wet Painters", he pulled a lot of hair from his nostril with the paintbrush, in "A Flea in Her Dome", he had Squidward's nose, and in "No Nose Knows", he had to have one (but that was a future episode).
- Patrick, has brushed his teeth as seen in some episodes, like "Dumped", "Rise and Shine ", and "Stuck in the Wringer " (a future episode).
- A scene from this episode was shown in a Raving Rabids: TV Party commercial.
- The soap that SpongeBob raises in the air is like the soap in the movie Fight Club. His pose is reminiscent of Brad Pitt holding the soap on the cover.
- In the "Krusty Krab Training Video" episode, the narrator mentions a war that occurred some time ago. This episode might have occurred during this war.
- In "Sand Castles in the Sand", SpongeBob and Patrick also have a war, but with weapons made out of sand.
- This is the second episode to have the title on a pirate map. The first was "Arrgh!".
- The closeup of SpongeBob's teeth was featured in the SpongeBob game: Cavity Crisis.
- In the flashback, the person who represented the dirty in the bathroom looked and sounded just like Patrick. he may either be an ancestor of Patrick, or a good enough person to show how dirty they were.
- In this episode, it shows that Patrick's eyes are navy blue. Although, in "Wormy", his eyes are green, and in "Oral Report", they are jade. It is possible that his eye color varies between episodes, like his stupidity, as revealed by Patrick in "Tentacle-Vision".
- The name of this episode can be easily mistaken for "Battle for Bikini Bottom", a SpongeBob video game from 2003.
- When Patrick says "Hopping... CLAAAAAMS!", the captions say "HOPPING... CRABS".
- After SpongeBob pedicured Patrick, the chair and bucket of water in the background is gone.
- SpongeBob also painted Patrick's toe nails red. After he turns to SpongeBob and says "You sick little Monster!' and "Feast my morning breath!". the red nail polish is gone.
- If you play the scene where Mr. Krabs runs into the kitchen looking for gold frame by frame, you can see the door actually opened before Mr. Krabs pushed it.
- In this episode, Patrick says he's never washed his hands. However, in the episode Something Smells, Patrick is seen washing his hands in the movie theater bathroom.

Master of Science in Chemical Manufacturing Management (MS)
The degree in Chemical Manufacturing Management is designed primarily for students working in the chemical manufacturing industry who are looking to increase their understanding of chemical processes, and their ability to quantitatively optimize manufacturing logistics.
Requirements for Admission to the Master of Science Program in Chemical Manufacturing Management
Students who wish to be considered for admission to graduate study leading toward
the Master of Science in Chemical Manufacturing Management (CMM) degree must have
a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and have completed an undergraduate
major or equivalent in chemistry or a closely related discipline, with an overall
grade point average of at least 2.75. In exceptional cases a student with a lower
grade point average may be admitted conditionally, and after completion of nine hours
of graduate work may be admitted to full standing by that student's advisory committee.
For international students, a minimum score of 550 on the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL) is required for unconditional admission. Applicants with TOEFL scores
between 500 and 550 may be admitted on a conditional basis, but their proficiency
in English will be further evaluated upon their arrival on campus, and they may be
required to undertake additional study of English prior to beginning graduate work
in the program. Because the selection process is competitive, applicants are strongly
encouraged to provide GRE scores with their application materials.
Degree Requirements
Each candidate must complete 30 credits of coursework spanning the chemistry and engineering technology programs. For students who wish to complete a thesis, an additional 3 credits of thesis research (CHE 698) is also required.
Additional inquiries into the CMM program may be sent to the graduate coordinator at email@example.com.

Anybody going?
After being bridesmaids at least three times in 13 years we finally won our first City Championship Tournament last week. Now I feel like the dog that chased cars for years until he finally caught one and he doesnt know what to do with it :-)
Seriously, it's going to be fun. I've been out there twice with my wife who qualified with an APA Ladies team. I played in some minis and actually won one, a board of 16 s/l 5's. The minis are very well run and I had a chance t tell Terry Bell that personally. (He was wearing a very nice suit BTW :-) ).
I would love to hear from anyone who is going or anyone who has been there and done that.
PS: It's been five years since my last post. Good to see y'all.

Accuracy was actually my main concern, aside from the cool factor anyway! I was hoping for at least some improvement. Though I think there will be some gain with the longer barrel.
a longer barrel will give you more speed up to a point. it will not nessacarly give you more accuracy. infact it might hurt it. A short heaver barrel will give you more consistancy ( genreraly) as the barrel heats up.
keep in mind when you start changing one thing on these guns to get accuracy or a differant calibur it sometimes means you will have to change almost every thing by the time your done.
a 308 Saiga is about $500 these days and that should be considered when you are contimplating a build. I have several Sagias I bought just to convert because they should be able to handel more pressure than a standard AK bolt. and they were reasonably priced around $350 . I can build for that kind of money. of course ill have to stick a better barrel and other stuff on the saiga to make it a usable gun for what I do.
I do it because I like making the AK with its poor accuracy reputation shoot better than most rifles I see at the range and piss people off. there ather guns out there that will give you a 308 easier.
if you want a good combination of handeling and accuracy consider a 20 or 22 inch barrel with some meat on it. that 308 is going to bark and kick so adding some weioght and barrel length over 16" will not hurt.
the loss of speed of 18" vs a 26" barrel will only be really noticable at very long range. at 300 yards and less it likely wont even be noticable.
I have a 19" heavy fluted 243 win barrel going on a build that i have high hopes for its reasonably light with he fluting an heavy enough calibur to hunt with and about 1500 FPS faster than a 7.62x39 :) im hoping the larger than standard OD combined with the weight savings of the fluting will give me the accuracy Im hoping for.
As I mentioned earlier accuracy was my main concern, but for the same reason you mention. I love the AR guys getting pissed when someone has an AK that is a more accurate rifle. Honestly, it's usually a matter of the guy with the AR not knowing how to shoot and the AK guy knowing his rifle inside and out and how to make it work at the range. But it's an added benefit if the rifle is also more accurate.


text: McFly are an English pop rock band who first found fame in 2004. The band consists of Tom Fletcher (lead vocals, guitar and piano), Danny Jones (lead vocals and guitar), Dougie Poynter (backing vocals and bass guitar) and Harry Judd (drums). They were signed to the Island Records label from their 2004 launch until December 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records. The band rose to fame after fellow boyband Busted helped launch them by inviting them to tour in March 2004. McFly's debut album Room on the 3rd Floor debuted at number 1 in the UK Album Chart and is certified as double platinum; this led to the band becoming known as the youngest band ever to have an album debut at number 1, a title taken from The Beatles. A month after the album was released, the band had their first UK headlining tour. The band's second album, Wonderland, also charted at number 1 in the UK, and was released in 2005. Their third album, Motion in the Ocean, was released on 6 November 2006 and charted at number 6 in the UK. McFly released their All the Greatest Hits compilation album on 5 November 2007, which charted at number 4 in the UK. The band's fourth studio album, Radio:Active, was given away for free as a supplement in The Mail on Sunday on 20 July 2008, before being released in the conventional manner (via physical release) on 22 September 2008. As of November 2010, McFly have had eighteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart and fifteen of which were consecutive top ten singles.

Building Community and Joy in the Struggle (Holiday Appeal); Dec 09, 2011
From 1791 to 1804, the African slaves of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) revolted against the mightiest imperial powers of the time, declaring their independence as the first western black republic. We owe them a great deal of gratitude for this act of rebellion and showing us that there is no power to great to truly snuff out our dignity and spirit of humanity. Sadly, those old imperial powers, and those new, have rarely shown respect for Haiti's sovereignty. "There's gold in them thar hills", to put it glibly. Our colonial past is one of taking from others what is not ours to take. This has proven to be a tough habit to squelch.
Haiti need to realize their ancestors dream of a free and independent nation. This can only happen if we release the reigns of control and put them in the drivers seat. In a country such as Haiti, where there are over 10,000 foreign charities and NGO's operating withing it's boarders, seeing local Haitian grassroots organizations taking action to empower their fellow citizens is special and should be nurtured.
SOPUDEP and other Haitian grassroots organizations are a prime example of the capability for Haitian's to make their own way; to educate, to work, to deliver justice, to preserve their proud culture, and to heal. It is up to us however, to show our support and solidarity, and at this moment in time, to provide the means to make their work more effective. There is an end goal with supporting Haitian grassroots social initiatives; not just a never ending money pit of "charity". The majority of Haitian's will be the first to say that they don't want handouts, but a chance to create a nation and a history that is theirs and theirs alone.
And for this Haitian social organization, SOPUDEP's funding needs are great and varied. This includes the building of a new school, putting more and more women into their own business through their micro-credit program, a food program that feeds over 700 people five days a week (currently funded by Feed Them With Music), and seeing that children to poor to attend Haiti's traditional tuition based schools can acquire a quality education; including those children who's home is on the street. Providing free and accessible education has been SOPUDEP's main priority since the opening of their first K-12 school in 2002.
The importance of free education to a child in Haiti is sometimes hard for us to understand, as for most of us, free education is the norm. SOPUDEP is able to do away with mandatory tuitions for its students by putting its international support toward paying it's dedicated all Haitian teaching staff.
The Sawatzky Family Foundation's funding efforts are focused on ensuring that SOPUDEP can continue to educate as many children as they can take in free of charge by paying SOPUDEP's 48 staff. In 2010, enrollment was 560 students and the 2011 school year saw it jump up close to 640 students, with hundreds of other children in the community waiting for a spot.
While SOPUDEP's K-12 school is a main priority for the Sawatzky Family Foundation, funding now includes the staff salaries for two other grassroots community schools; MOJUB and Les Petits Amis De SOPUDEP. A new program for the 2011 year is providing post secondary scholarship funds for SOPUDEP's top students. This year, two students have been provided the necessary tuition to attend college. Marie is studying nursing and Sauvlyne, education science.
The Sawatzky Family Foundation also provides funds for basic school supplies and textbooks, SOPUDEP's efforts in earthquake relief and the work they do in camps, their micro-credit program, their collaborative work they do with other grassroots organizations and the many other costs associated for this Haitian grassroots social organization to work for the betterment of their fellow citizens.
We have made it to the Christmas break, but the rest of the year still lies ahead. Your donations are essential to sustaining and improving SOPUDEP's education and economic programs. Please join us in supporting this Haitian organizations wonderful work!
Of course, we express our deepest gratitude to those that have already shown us that they believe in SOPUDEP's vision for a better Haiti. However, SOPUDEP is but one group in this fight, and we recognize those other Haitian and Non-Haitian organizations that are on the same path of resistance against those powers that would rather see Haiti benefit a privileged few. We should find joy in helping Haitian's in their struggle for a free and just society because we recognize that their humanity is also our own.
Thank-you and Happy Holidays
Ryan Sawatzky
The Sawatzky Family Foundation

It was on Sunday afternoon when fans in Arusha city started to throng the Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium to enjoy a concert that happened to stall business in the most astonishing way.
Just two Bongo Flava musicians, Ambwene Yesaya popularly known as AY and Khamis Mwinjuma 'Mwana FA' took the city by storm in the breeze afternoon.
The entry-free concert reverberated with well composed songs in an effort to sensitize young generation of Tanzanians to redeem confidence and believe that Africa is the best place to live comfortably on the planet.
The AY and FA unique combination showcased their rich talents coupled with fantastic appealing dancing styles that kept fans spellbound throughout.
It was a bit chilly as winter season is just taking its toll in the northern Tanzania but fans were completely unfazed by the musician duo's superb show.
Arusha residents turned out in their thousands to witness Coca-Cola bonanza which is part of the company's move to mobilize people especially the youth to have confidence in themselves and the African continent which is gifted with abundant of resources in the likes of minerals, lakes, national parks and mountains such Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in the continent.
"We are very pleased that such big crowd has turned up to support us in this campaign "Billion Reason to Believe in Africa" and will continue to entertain our customers and music fans through this kind of entertainment events", said Bonite Bottlers Marketing Manager Gilbert Uisso.
The weekend show held at the heart of Arusha also provided opportunity for the rising music artists to demonstrate their rich talents and dancing skills alongside AY and FA.
They up-and-coming artists praised Coca-Cola for organising and staging such a unique music concert. It was highly fascinating according to them as
they asked the firm to organise such shows at least twice a year in order to give them an opportunity for music career promotion.
Apart from music entertainment, the show also gave participants a rare opportunity to display other hidden artistic talents such ball control techniques and weightlifting.
Billion Reasons to Believe in Africa is a two-year campaign initiative that Coca-Cola launched in Tanzania last month aiming to inspire people especially the youth to be patriotic.
The busy afternoon left most of Arusha people with long lasting memories of the show as they are not sure when such an event would be held again.
The Sheikh Amri Abeid Memorial Stadium frequently used for football matches, was this time transformed into a huge music bash and show looked abruptly short as the organisers called it a day.
Despite the multitude of fans that jammed the stands and the pitch, it ended safe without injuries as people left home satisfied.

Auschwitz, that horrible hell with its moribund theoriesA Jeremiah has yet to be born who will be able to express the enormity of the tragedy and catastrophe. Human speech is too poor in words to describe the lofty acts of culture of the 20th Century. The unbelievable happened and the world did not tremble; the sun did not cease to shine; the earth did not quake, when beasts in the shape of men cruelly choked the very last cry of pain of hundreds of thousands writhing living beings.
How have you ingested so many millions in your crematoria
Black are your skies from burning your victims
You shall eternally remain the most fearful of catastrophes
Young and old, fathers and mothers, and everything precious
Joined together at the pyre, went into the inferno
Oh where is the habitation of the lions [= kings of Torah] and the sages of the Yeshivot
And where is the justice due to the shattered infants
How horrible, bemoan the slaughtered openly in the streets
With what shall I testify against you and to what can I compare you, Poland
You toiled in These are the burnt-offerings and the chapter of How does one roast
As sheep to the slaughter were we driven by beasts of prey to death and destruction.
Pogrom is a new term in the dictionaries originating in Russia and referring to the persecutions of Jews there in the last quarter of the 19th Century, and indicates the attack by a wild mob on Jews in order to destroy and pillage their property, to beat and murder them, thus the name is a translation of the term riot. There are occasional pogroms which arise suddenly in the wake of a libel or by public exhortation by some anti-Semite. There are also prearranged pogroms which are planned by society, and at times in connivance with local or government officials whose purposes are to attain a certain goal.This excerpt illustrates and underscores the fact that the Shoah of our generation is of a different dimension than the pogroms in the Czarist era, different both in terms of quantity and quality.

This is off to a really nice start! Great description, and I love the overall presentation with the circular border.
Well, there are already two awesome entries this month but, as the most important thing is to take part…
This is my WIP entry:
Year 2722 AD. With the discovery of Herbert propulsion (named by the scientist who first theorized the hyperspace travel along multidimensional branes), since some centuries, mankind has begun to colonize various kind of worlds, the most hospitable for life and also those less hospitable, but resource-rich.
After nearly a century of peaceful coexistence on the dry planet of Besselor, recently also known as the "Blessed Wasteland", only place in the known space where it is given to find "The Crystal", an apparently semi-sentient crystal with incredible and unique qualities, a vicious civil war is nearly breaking out between the various human factions.
Will the surface of the planet, already arid and inhospitable, also be devastated by the battle for control of key strategic areas?
While the first starships of the human federation, sent to bring peace, are at weeks of travel from the planet, the latest diplomatic efforts between the various factions seem to fall on deaf ears.
This map want to be a depiction of the northern hemisphere of the planet, where most crystal deposits are found and where, eventually, battles will take place.
As I'm a fan of "Dune the Boardgame", the map could be slightly reminiscent to the "Dune" game board; and other analogies with the Dune Universe are, well, not pure coincidental, but can be considered a most humble and puny tribute to a masterpiece of scifi literature.
I plan to add at least settlements, crystal deposits, texts and embellish everything.
It's my first time using textures from photos, and it's my first mostly top down (but not all elements will be) and non fantasy map, so I really don't know where I'm headed.
Of course tips and critiques are highly appreciated!

Thank you Neyjour, I really need some encouragement
You're welcome!
Just noticed you need to edit your "###Latest Wip###". It needs to be in all caps with a space between the text and the hash symbols, otherwise it won't show up in the thumbnails forum.
Thank you!
Very cool idea and execution so far! Are you going to show major battles or fortifications, something like that?
@Neyjour - as long as there's a space in between the hashtags and Latest WIP, it's okay if it's not in caps.
@Diamond: Thank you.
As long as the civil war is about to break, I won't show battles; maybe (I strongly would) troops positioning, if I will be able to draw a suitable icon/shape for the troops. There will almost surely be crystal deposits and human settlements, as I'm already working at them; maybe one or two neutral spaceports.
As for other physical or political features on the actual map, I still don't know, it depends on the time left, consistency and on the ability to draw what I would like to put in.
As for the frame and the contour of the actual map, the lozenges represent the shields of the factions: I will add the names, don't know which and where. I think also at least a basic key should be added.
Time permitting, I plan to have a shield/symbol of the human federation and maybe a shield of the planet; and maybe other features if the mood strikes..
Progress so far:
I changed the background to a starry one and added troops, shields, a legend, faction names, spaceports.
Maybe I could add settlements names but I don't know, I don't want to clutter too much the map.
If you have feedbacks I would gladly hear them; actually, I think I'm mostly done, unless last ideas or feedbacks that I can implement.

As fine as they all are (in varying degrees, of course), one winner must be declared. Here are my predictions for who will claim the top prizes on Hollywood's biggest night.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild"
"Django Unchained"
"Les Misérables"
"Life of Pi"
"Silver Linings Playbook"
"Zero Dark Thirty"
With "Zero Dark Thirty" tainted by political controversy and "Life of Pi" likely to see most of its Oscar gold in the technical categories, it looks like the race is coming down to "Lincoln" and "Argo." I'm predicting "Lincoln" will get its Oscar love in the director and acting categories, giving "Argo" a window for glory here. Director Ben Affleck's thriller is the exemplar of terrific Hollywood filmmaking, a fact that academy members will no doubt appreciate. Plus, they're probably (and justifiably) feeling guilty for leaving Affleck off the best-director list.
Michael Haneke, "Amour"
Ang Lee, "Life of Pi"
David O. Russell, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Steven Spielberg, "Lincoln"
Benh Zeitlin, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
Abraham Lincoln may be the iconic Great American President, so it's fitting that "Lincoln" was directed by a man many consider today's Great American Director, Steven Spielberg. Even if Affleck were in this race, I still think Spielberg would be the front-runner, although "Life of Pi's" Ang Lee has a shot for expertly adapting what many deemed an unfilmable book.
Bradley Cooper, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Daniel Day-Lewis, "Lincoln"
Hugh Jackman, "Les Misérables"
Joaquin Phoenix, "The Master"
Denzel Washington, "Flight"
This is one of those categories where the phrase "It's an honor just to be nominated" is the best everyone but Daniel Day-Lewis should hope for. His portrayal of a weary but determined President Lincoln is one for the ages.
Jessica Chastain, "Zero Dark Thirty"
Jennifer Lawrence, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Emmanuelle Riva, "Amour"
Quvenzhané Wallis, "Beasts of the Southern Wild"
Naomi Watts, "The Impossible"
This is the one category where my heart and gut get to make the pick. A logical assessment points to Jennifer Lawrence as the winner for "Silver Linings Playbook," or maybe even "Zero Dark Thirty's" Jessica Chastain, but I'm holding out for "Amour's" Emmanuelle Riva, the oldest-ever nominee in the best-actress category, who will also turn 86 on Oscar night. Academy members are clearly in love with "Amour," giving it five nominations, including best picture, but this is the only major category where voters have an opportunity to reward it with an Oscar. Plus, Lawrence and Chastain will undoubtedly get a few more chances in the coming years.
Alan Arkin, "Argo"
Robert De Niro, "Silver Linings Playbook"
Philip Seymour Hoffman, "The Master"
Tommy Lee Jones, "Lincoln"
Christoph Waltz, "Django Unchained"
This one's the toughest race of the night. I can argue a case for each nominee, but, based on his Screen Actors Guild Award win, Tommy Lee Jones seems to have the slight advantage for his portrayal of abolitionist politician Thaddeus Stevens in "Lincoln." Yet, with Day-Lewis guaranteed to win, there's a chance voters might want to spread the acting love a little. Finally showing up in a role worthy of his talent, Robert De Niro has a shot with "Silver Linings Playbook," which received nominations in all four acting categories, the first film in 31 years to do so. Christoph Waltz steals the show in "Django Unchained," but his 2010 win in yet another Tarantino film might feel too recent to voters. Same for Alan Arkin, who won playing an awfully similar, albeit lovable, role in 2007's "Little Miss Sunshine." If I had the deciding vote, I'd go with "The Master's" Philip Seymour Hoffman, but I suspect Paul Thomas Anderson's intense art house effort is not in sync with voters' tastes this year.
