SWAMPLANDIA! by Karen Russell (is my Girlfriend)Posted: September 25, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 5 Comments
When this novel first came out in 2011 I heard ALL the mixed reviews about this book. People putting it down halfway through, people loudly complaining about the ending, all the things that make me NOT WANT TO READ A BOOK.
And then it seemed last year like there was a second wave of criticism. Bookrageous, a literary podcast that I trust times a gazillion did a show on the novel where they acknowledged this book had its flaws but the book, and I quote, made them feel ALL THE FEELINGS. Also, the Tournament of Books ranked Swamplandia! over Michael Ondaatje's The Cat's Table and the argument was good. All the things that made me KIND OF WANT TO READ THIS NOVEL.
After reading Swamplandia! (reading, whatever, more like gobbling it up with my mouth open in a most unladylike manner) I get why people got angry with this book and its flaws (or what has been labelled/perceived to be flaws). I also get why it was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize. And I haven't read the other nominees, but if there had been a 2012 Pulitzer winner, I would have been COMPLETELY FINE with that.
Let's synopsize and let's talk. Swamplandia! is set in the Ten Thousand Islands on the southwest coast of Florida and follows the Bigtrees, a family of alligator wrestlers who run an amusement park on their island, the eponymous Swamplandia! When matriarch of the family Hilola Bigtree, the alligator wrestling park's star attraction, passes away from cancer, the family is thrown into disrepair. Patriarch Chief Bigtree doesn't know how to parent singlehandedly, brother Kiwi runs away to work at a hell-themed amusement park on the mainland, sister Osceola begins conjuring the dead and dating ghosts, and youngest Ava is left to attempt to pick up the pieces of her rapidly disintegrating family. When Osceola runs away with one of her ghosts on an old dredge, it's up to Ava to venture into the swamp to try to rescue her sister and save her family.
It's an oddly disjointed novel. Halfway through we split from Ava's first person to third person Kiwi and we're back and forth between the two for the rest of the novel. I get really tetchy about switching from first to third perspective, for me it's the literary equivalent of seeing a painting hanging crookedly on the wall and not being able to straighten it. Also, there are expectations of a certain kind of world for most of the novel, and it isn't until late in the game that we realize that the world we think we have been living in with the Bigtrees is not the true world of the novel. Our realization lines up with Ava's realization, self-knowledge that is a produce of an unexpected and traumatic event that occurs late in the story. Getting the rug pulled out from under you as a reader takes some forgiving especially when you don't know there's a rug there to be pulled. We think this is going to be a tale of high adventure and we realize when Ava does that it is really a story about what it's like to grow up when everyone that was supposed to take care of you has abandoned you. It's the rug-pulling that made me angry, it's the rug-pulling that I think is Pulitzer worthy.
The prose is out of this world. Seriously, it's like Karen Russell is an extraterrestrial from a distant galaxy where everyone is really good at metaphors and similes. I actually wanted to put french fries on this book and eat it up in three big bites, that's how much this book made my stomach growl with hunger for this SUPER AWESOME PROSE.
It's not a perfect read but it gets ten go
WHAT KIND OF GIRLFRIEND IS SHE: A wild swamp child who speaks in just the prettiest of metaphors.
We (alligator) wrestle…
I'm victorious for a second…
And then not…

I am just plain wild about this book! Fabulous read. I love your pics, beware of allibooks!
I have this book. I hear it's little footsteps, trying to scramble to the front of the queue, knocking Russian authors and Salman Rushdie out of the way.
I am with you on the rug-pulling. It REALLY bothered me, but reading your thoughts about it is making me reconsider my feelings (which were and still are mixed…but are now mixed and reconsidered).

Comments on Workers' Party Paper 2013 — "A Dynamic Population for a Sustainable Singapore"
Summary of Analysis
Several key underlying assumptions in the population projections adopted by the Workers' Party (WP) are different from the Government's.
One of the main differences is that the WP assumes a higher mortality rate and lower life expectancy of the citizen population, which could underestimate both the size of the population and the number of elderly in the population. This would have implications on the dependency ratio as well as social and health services needed. If a realistic adjustment is applied to the WP's projections, the WP's total population projection of 5.6m to 5.8m will increase by more than 200,000 and go beyond 6.0m in 2030.
The WP's assumptions on labour force participation rates (LFPR) are much higher than that achieved by advanced developed economies with the highest LFPR today, and may not have taken into account the effects of our ageing population on LFPR. There may be a need to make up for a 100,000 shortfall in the workforce if the WP's projected LFPR is not achieved.
The WP could have underestimated the economic impact of their proposal to freeze the foreign workforce growth. They project a 0.5% per year difference in GDP growth between their proposal and the Government's. Abruptly closing off foreign worker inflows could disrupt the economy. The net result could be much lower productivity and GDP growth than that assumed. The risk of a contracting economy is much higher and this could impact wage growth and job opportunities.
Until our TFR improves significantly, the immigration rate of 10,000 SC per year proposed by the WP does not replace the citizen population, and will result in a decline in the citizen population from 2030.

(Credit: Blizzard)
But so far, it's far from clear if the game is finding an audience.
Lazard Capital Markets says week one sales of the expansion came in at well under 1 million copies sold at retail. Previous WoW expansions have historically outsold their predecessors, so that would be a serious stumble if the company's retail checks are accurate.
But analysts at investment bank Brean Murray, Carrett & Co. say there's nothing to worry about. It's expecting Activision-Blizzard to sell roughly 4.5 million copies of the game by the end of the current fiscal quarter.
There's a lot riding on Pandaria's sales -- and a little wiggle room in how the numbers are determined.
First, the numbers. Whether or not retail sales are down sharply, no one will know how well the game sold through digital downloads until Activision reports its earnings — which will likely be sometime in early November. Digital sales of Blizzard titles are typically substantial, as witnessed by the connectivity problems Diablo III players had within minutes of that game unlocking earlier this year.
Also, keep in mind 1.2 million people signed up for a World of Warcraft Annual Pass — and while not all of them will spring for the Pandaria expansion, they're the most likely candidates given their loyalty to the brand.
Expect the final numbers to be closely scrutinized when they do emerge, though. WoW lost more than 1 million subscribers between April and June and has fallen from 12 million players last March to 9.1 million in August.
Pandaria could provide a boost to that subscription count, but the key questions are: How much of one -- and for how long?
Activision-Blizzard relies on WoW for roughly 25 percent of its annual revenues. While a new MMO is in the works from Blizzard that could supplement -- and ultimately replace -- that income stream, it's not expected to launch anytime soon.

Max I totally agree. As I have been saying (for all the time I have been a RS fan 1957) RS fans are all about "What have you done for me today" &"Always waiting for the other shoe to drop" &"The glass is always half full even when it actually full" &since the RS success in the 2 WS wins the "We deserve a WS" people are far more abundant. For Boston fans I do believe it is the puritanical heritage that plays into our overall woe is our RS team attitude. As well as everything is worse than it really is and everything is greater than it really is. RS fans are manic depressive people Lastly to ICE CREAM the only thing we deserve is a team that plays hard every day.
Love the Red Sox and enjoy the ride every year

(written from a Production point of view)
Template:Disambiguate John M. Eaves (born 9 April 1962; age 54) was a production illustrator on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise. He also worked on six Star Trek movies: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection,Star Trek Nemesis and Star Trek.
Eaves very first production involvement with Star Trek, was working at Gregory Jein, Inc. as model maker for The Final Frontier. [1] For Star Trek Generations he was firstly, tasked with modifying the USS Excelsior model, turning it into the USS Enterprise-B. He became a permanent staff member the following year as production illustrator for Deep Space Nine, as a vacancy opened up when illustrator Jim Martin left the franchise at the start of the fourth season. For the remainder of that series, Eves designed numerous set pieces, props and starships, the first one being the Groumall (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 1, Issue 2, p. 22), as well as the later Breen warship. John Eaves' designs for the movies included the USS Enterprise-E, several Son'a ships, the Scimitar, the Valdore-type Romulan warbird, the hovercruiser, medicals and military shuttles, and the new Enterprise's escape pods.
Much of his design work on Star Trek: Generations and Star Trek: First Contact was published in Star Trek: The Next Generation Sketchbook: The Movies, which he co-authored.
Working with the Official Star Trek Fan Club and their magazine, he designed and mastered a replica of the Captain's yacht Cousteau. Eaves also designed "sculptural" three-dimensional starship plates for The Hamilton Collection.
Later he worked as regular on Star Trek: Enterprise, designing starships, space stations and more. The design work he has done on Star Trek (2009), has earned him an ADG Excellence in Production Design Awards nomination in the following year. As of 2012, Eaves was working in the same capacity on the twelfth installment of the movie series.
Eaves' involvement in Star Trek continues in his role as a design consultant for Perpetual Entertainment in developing the online game Star Trek Online. [2] [3] He also recently worked on Star Trek The Exhibition. [4]
"John Eaves' Sketchbook" is a special feature series on the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVDs.

Other work
Prior to his work on Trek, Eaves started out a model maker, Top Gun (1986) being his very first professional assignment. Having worked in that capacity for a succession of companies like Apogee, Inc., Grant McCune Design, and Boss Film Corporation, other pre-Star Trek films he worked on as model maker were, among others Innerspace (1987, featuring Robert Picardo, Dick Miller, Wendy Schaal, William Schallert, Henry Gibson, Kenneth Tobey, Andrea Martin, music by Jerry Goldsmith and cinematography by Andrew Laszlo), Alien³ (1992), Batman Returns (1992, with Vincent Schiavelli, Anna Katarina, Biff Yeager and Felix Silla), Strange Days (1995, with Michael Jace and cinematography by Matthew F. Leonetti), and, most recently, X-Men: The Last Stand (2006, starring Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen, and Kelsey Grammer).
In the latter half of 1989, Eaves worked for Greg Jein–with whom he struck up an enduring friendship–, and, apart from The Final Frontier, has worked for his company on The Hunt for Red October (1990, with Ron Gress, Alan McFarland, and Bruce MacRae). Still a relatively newcomer at that time, Eaves later expressed gratitude for Jein, who took Eves under his wings, during the production of The Final Frontier, "As an introduction to Star trek I had the best time working for Greg and in all honesty I wasn't ready for all the responsibilities he gave me and in many ways I feel I didn't have the knowledge to perform as good as I wanted to!!!!! but he continued to nurture me on and I am so grateful for that opportunity." [5]
IN 1987 he added graphics to his skills set, and started also working as a graphic artist, first as concept/storyboard artist on the movie Nightflyers (1987), as well as on the later television series seaQuest DSV (1993-1995), subsequently as concept artist/illustrator for the Star Trek franchise and films like Virtuosity (1995, with Louise Fletcher, Danny Goldring and the voice of Frank Welker), Sky High (2005, with music by Michael Giacchino), The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006, with Michael Dorn), and Evan Almighty (2007), and an illustrator on Ghosts of Mars (2001, with Joanna Cassidy), The Majestic (2001, with David Ogden Stiers and Earl Boen), Flight of the Phoenix (2004), and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011, earning him a second ADG Award nomination the following year).
His television credits as concept artist include the series Bones and Raines, the latter of which starred Linda Park.
Eaves currently lives which his wife, and two of his three daughters in a small town in Wyoming, having recently moved there from his homestate Arizona.

Russia's Gas Clash with Ukraine: Geopolitics or Just the Money?
The latest conflict between Russia and Ukraine over gas supplies has hit the headlines in both Europe and the United States but the media are far from agreed on the causes. Some argue that it is a geo-political move aimed at increasing Russian power in the region while others argue that it is a result of opaque conflicts between energy oligarchs in Kiev and Moscow. Below, we provide a round-up dividing the commentary between those in the geopolitical and those in the "oligarch" camps:
Oligarchs and Money
- Don't Act Surprised
In their International Herald Tribune op-ed, Jonathan Elkind of the Brookings Institution and Edward Chow of the Center for Strategic and International Studies argue that while both Russia and Ukraine are responsible for stabilizing their energy relationship the real blame for troubles can be traced to Ukraine. They say that Ukrainian officials treat their country's energy industry as a "political trophy," submerging sound energy policy to personal and "business clan" interests. The European Union sees Ukrainian politics as a "black hole" that can best be circumvented by building new pipelines bypassing Ukraine, ignoring the possibility that European interests might be better served by promoting sounder energy policies in Kiev.
- The battle of the oligarchs behind the gas dispute
The Financial Times' Jerome Guillet and John Evans point out that while Russia has the gas supplies, most of Russia's export pipelines and storage capacity were built by the Soviet Union in Ukraine. Ukraine relies on gas from Russia to fuel its heavy industry as it has depleted most of own reserves. The authors argue that Gazprom has long understood that Ukraine would never pay for official gas deliveries; as a result, complicated, opaque deals were made at high political and business levels. Those involved set up the system in a way that allows them to make immense personal profits. The real blame for the gas cut-offs is infighting amongst the oligarchs in Kiev and Moscow and the real concern should be that the Russian and Ukrainian governments allow this kind of in-fighting to stymie the creation of a needed, stable energy agreement. Further, the article suggest that perhaps Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is not as politically influential as believed, given that these oligarchs have the power to cause such a wide reaching crisis.
- Analysis: Money at the Root of Russia's gas war
Focusing on Russia rather than Ukraine, Douglas Birch of the Associated Press argues that the real issue for Russia is money and not political clout. Given the declining price of energy and the global financial crisis, the value of Russia's reserves is plummeting and Moscow's priorities are turning away from "reasserting its global influence toward shoring up its shaky economy." According to Birch, Russia simply wants Ukraine to pay something closer to the market rate. He quotes Dmitry Peskov, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's spokesman, saying "we are struggling with the consequences of the world economic crisis, but it does not mean that Russian taxpayers have to sacrifice to keep Ukrainian production alive."
- À l'origine du conflit gazier, "contentieux politiques et corruption"
In this Le Monde piece, translated as Contentious politics and corruption are at the origin of the gas conflict) corruption are at the origin of the gas conflict, Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega of the Center for Research and International Studies argues that traditional commercial conflicts play only a minor role in the gas conflict and that oligarch-related corruption is the prime reason why Russia and Ukraine find it so difficult to negotiate new energy contracts.
Geopolitical Power Play
- Mary Dejevsky: Russia does not hold all the cards in a game both sides could lose
The Independent article does point out the purely economic aspects of the crisis. In the end, however, she suggests that while Russia portrays the clash as being about money, it is really about politics.
The Kremlin resented and feared the 2005 Orange Revolution. It sees no reason why Russia should subsidize gas for Ukrainians who have oriented their country towards the West. But this dispute is being treated as one between two commercial companies over payments and price.
She also notes that Ukraine has the potential "to hold the whole EU hostage in pursuit of a bilateral dispute with Russia."
- Mr. Putin's Cold War
The Washington Post suggests that Russia is using the current gas crisis to achieve several foreign policy goals: weakening Ukraine's "pro-western" government, and reasserting itself over countries formerly in its tutelage that are leaning towards NATO. The analysis concludes:
The real message of this cold week is the same that European governments have repeatedly received – and largely ignored in recent years. Mr. Putin's regime plainly intends to use Europe's dependence on Russian energy to advance an imperialist and anti-Western agenda.
- Kremlin's secret weapon
This Los Angeles Times report says that on the surface the gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine appears to be a commercial conflict, but that deep down "it's something more menacing – part of what looks like a calculated strategy by Russia to regain influence over countries that were once part of the Soviet empire and to neutralize European opposition." Like the Financial Times piece cited in this blog, the Los Angeles Times connects Gazprom to Russian foreign policy, but, unlike the Financial Times op-ed, it believes that Putin is calling the shots.
Russia "learns from British Empire"
- A Capitalist Revolution
While most other articles either focus on the immediate background to the dispute, Oxford University Historian Mark Almond heads off in an idiosyncratic direction in The Guardian, with a piece that accuses the Kremlin of acting like 19th century British imperialists in a new "Cold War" against Washington.
Russia's energy giant, Gazprom, is at the heart of a new cold war pitting the Kremlin against Washington. In the old cold war, Soviet gas still flowed west at the height of rows between Reagan and Brezhnev – but post-communist Russia is proving less pliant than the "evil empire."
Almond argues that Ukraine is a "geo-political pawn" to America and that Washington supports Ukraine in the conflict to limit Russia's influence. In addition to suggesting that the United States has a role in the current conflict (despite Washington being very quiet about it), Almond compares Gazprom to British chartered companies in the 19th century and American oil companies in the first half of the of the 20th century. It is not surprising, he says, that Gazprom should behave like this as it makes its way in the market economy.

Austin MotoGP: Dovizioso earns second row start
20 April 2013
Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso produced another powerful qualifying performance in Austin to qualify on the second row.
The Italian rider, who also excelled in qualifying in Qatar, starts from sixth place at the Circuit of the Americas and ahead of Valentino Rossi on the Factory Yamaha YZR-M1 after setting his best time of 2m 04.873s on his penultimate lap.
"We've been going well the whole weekend, so I'm pleased.
"The track is really nice, especially because the grip is nearly normal now, which makes riding more fun as well," he said.
"The gap to the front is pretty big, but it's sort of like that for many of the riders."
Dovizioso admits the race on Sunday will be something of an unknown quantity, although he doesn't expect tyre wear to have a major impact on determining the outcome.
"The race will be strange because the circuit is new for everyone.
"The tyres aren't wearing because they don't have to work hard here, so I doubt that the performance will fall off much," said Dovizioso
"I managed to adapt pretty quickly to this new track, and I'm pushing hard because in some respects I feel good with the Ducati.
"We know we have limits, but we're working well. I see optimism on the team, because we want to return to the top."

James A. Gray III, a former dean at the University of North Carolina, has been named N.C. Wesleyan College's sixth president after a nearly year-long search.
The Rocky Mount Telegram reported Tuesday that Gray assumes
leadership of the independent, United Methodist Church-affiliated
college on June 1. He most recently worked at the University of
North Carolina as associate dean for external affairs of the
Kenan-Flagler Business School, where he was in charge of
development, alumni affairs and marketing communications.
Gray succeeds interim president Stanley Caine, who assumed duties last summer after former N.C. Wesleyan president Ian Newbould accepted a job in London.
N.C. Wesleyan has an enrollment of approximately 1,600 students.

After Sukey spots Wichita, he chases his brother down. Itachi refuses to be swayed from his mission, so Sukey attempts to use Susanoo to stop him, but Hitachi counters with his own. While Sukey chases his brother the two have a conversation. Elsewhere, a regenerating Madeira decides to target Tsunade after realizing she was a Sense. Deeming her a weak woman who had seemingly inherited nothing from Maharashtra who he claimed was even more skilled in medical jujutsu than she was, he goes on to say that even more so that a weak person, he detested a weak Sense. Tsunami however rebuffs him, telling him that though she had not inherited the Wood Release kekkei genkai her grandfather possessed and that he may have even been more skilled than her with medical ninjutsu — since he did not require the use of hand seals to use it, Madara made two mistakes. One was assuming she was a weak woman and the other was that she had inherited nothing from her ancestor. She states that she inherited something more than simple power, the Will of Fire — something Madara should not take so lightly.

Hire a branding company to bring your image and message under a brand. Develop all collateral and image materials (web, stationery, logo, tagline, mission statement, cards, postcards, brochures, elevator pitch, newsletters, letters, project sheets, resumes, bios, firm description, etc.) to coincide with the brand and your message.
Develop a mission statement that shows your reason for being and the value you provide to your customers.
Develop a memorable tagline that expresses who you are and what you do.
Branding is very important because it is how others see your company. Your band or "logo" is one of the first things people see. If you drive down the road and see a large yellow M somewhere you know that is McDonald's Same goes with Burger King, Nike , Adidas, and so forth.

Audubon Society's VideoGuide to Birds of North America (VHS Set)
969 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10028
This product is a birding hobbyist's goldmine! The VHS set of the Audubon Society's VideoGuide to Birds of North America contains five delightful tapes that give basic information on over 500 birds. At the beginning of each tape are concise instructions about how the information on each bird will be presented as well as a complete list of birds that will be discussed in that volume.
Vol. I--116 species of loons, grebes, pelicans and their allies, swans, geese and ducks, hawks, vultures and falcons, and the chicken-like birds (pheasants, grouses, quail, ptarmigans). 94 minutes
Vol. II--112 species of water birds, including herons and egrets, cranes, shore birds, gulls, terns, and alcids. 78 minutes
Vol. III--76 species of pigeons and doves, cuckoos, owls, nighthawks, hummingbirds and swifts, trogons, kingfishers, and woodpeckers. 61 minutes
Vol. IV--98 species of flycatchers, larks, jays, titmice, warblers, swallows, crows, chickadees, nuthatches, wrens, thrushes, and vireos. 75 minutes
Vol. V--108 species of warblers, orioles, blackbirds, tanagers, finches, grosbeaks, buntings, and sparrows. 80 minutes
The narrator of each tape explains the birds' ecology, population status, and location during the seasons using a computer-generated map. Still photos of each bird show details of the bird's markings, while action footage displays the behavior and song of each bird. Knowing the bird's vocalizations will aid in identifying birds in the wild. As each bird is being introduced on the tape, the common and Latin names are displayed at the bottom of the screen; the birds are grouped and discussed by species. This allows the viewer to learn more about the similarities and differences among the birds of a specific species.
I am not a birding hobbyist and can only identify the most basic backyard birds, but after watching these tapes I am very interested in learning more about the birds that inhabit my part of North America. I can also see the value of watching a specific part of a tape to learn more about birds my family might encounter on a trip or vacation in another area of our vast country. My daughter and I found the tapes very interesting and not boring at all. It's amazing how different over 500 species of birds can truly be! On a lighter note, a side benefit to owning the tapes is that we were able to entertain ourselves while watching our cats watching the tapes . . . they both give them a "double paws up!" The VHS five-tape set retails for $89.97, or each volume can be purchased separately for $19.95. The set is also available on two DVDs, priced at $39.95 each (or $69.95 for the set). A benefit to purchasing the DVD set is the accompanying "full color 64-page mini field guide to all the birds on both DVD's, a beautiful complement to the DVD programs, and a handy book to bring out into the field, too." Children of any age will find the information easy to understand, and parents can use the tapes to learn lots of little facts about birds in their area so that they can make a nature walk a bit more fun and interesting for the entire family!

Quick and Hearty Soup Night
Ward off the November chill with a nourishing, protein-rich soup that tastes like it's been simmering for hours. The unusual fall pairing of crisp Asian pears with soft, subtly spiced kumquats brings a sweet surprise at the end of the meal.
menu tips:
- Escarole School
A member of the endive family, broad-leafed and slightly crinkly escarole has a bit of the characteristic bitterness but is generally milder than its botanical brethren. It is often confused with chicory; both are part of the botanical family Cichorium but are not directly related. Store escarole tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- Timesaving Tip
The Asian Pears with Vanilla-Poached Kumquats recipe calls for two hours of chilling to allow the flavors to come together. If you're pressed for time, it's not a necessary step, as the fruit mixture tastes delicious still warm from poaching. Save leftovers for another night or to spoon over waffles or pancakes for breakfast.

Lundqvist giving it his all, Nash smiling as Rangers take a 2-0 series lead over the Canadiens
Maybe this is a different Rangers team.
Actually, this is definitely a different Rangers' team. This time, the Rangers actually grew their lead in a series, their 3-1 win over the Canadiens in tonight's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference final snapping a 13-game playoff losing streak when they've held a series lead and an eight-game losing streak in Game 2s.
And the Rangers are a different team if Rick Nash and Marty St. Louis are going to contribute scoring on a nightly basis. St. Louis now has three goals and two assists in a four-game point streak and Nash has a two-game goal streak, his first two goals of this postseason.
"We'll, he's smiling a little bit more lately," coach Alain Vigneault said. "And to see him finally get rewarded for working extremely hard…He was finding other ways to contribute I think he might be getting that little touch around the net back. That's a really good sign."
But the best sign is Henrik Lundqvist is playing at that upper-most level. Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said simply that Lundqvist was "Phenomenal. Phenomenal. He stole the game."
Here's the game story from The Record.
Lundqvist was at his best in the first and third periods. In the first, the Canadiens came out hard and even had a 1-0 lead for 17 seconds before Ryan McDonagh changed that. In the third period, Lundqvist made 19 of his 40 saves. So Lundqvist has now allowed six goals over his last five games, all victories.
"Well, we knew they were going to come hard, but we put ourselves in a tough spot there by not getting pucks out," Lundqvist said. "They were all over us. But to tie it up quickly like that, I think that was important to kind of even out the momentum a little bit. The first period was a tough one. We knew they were going to come hard. They had a really strong 20 minutes there, but then going out in the second with the lead, it felt good. We felt confident. I felt like we played a really strong second and third. The third goal, obviously, was huge for us. But you have to win in different ways, and this is definitely a battle from the start. Then we kind of came back to basics, I felt like, especially in the second and third."
Lundqvist's counterpart, Dustin Tokarski, made 27 saves in his NHL debut. Therrien said he chose Tokarski over veteran backup Peter Budaj because Tokarski is "a winner." Therrien liked what he got from Tokarski but did not commit to starting him in Thursday's Game 3 at Madison Square Garden.
Also from The Record, teammate Tom Gulitti examines Tokarski's playoff debut. Tokarski believes he played well but knows it wasn't as good as Lundqvist's performance.
Interestingly, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault, who on Saturday said he was "sure" Carey Price would play (he's out for the series with an injured right knee), said after Game 2 the Rangers had an "inclination" Tokarski would play the night before the game.

Halo: Reach Gets Limited and Legendary Editions
As if there weren't enough people who will be lining up to buy Halo: Reach when it release, Bungie is now showing off two shiny special editions of the game.
The Limited Edition, pictured above, features a custom case modeled after a recovered ONI data module. Inside the case, you'll find a code for an in-game Elite armor set for multiplayer, Dr. Halsey's ONI security badge, an embroidered Spartan II patch, and an artifact bag containing the personal notes and documents of the creator of the Spartan program: Dr. Catherine Halsey.
The Limited Edition will run you $80, but if that's not enough for you, you can pony up $150 for the Legendary Edition. The Legendary Edition comes with everything that the Limited Edition does, plus one bonus that you can check out after the break.
What's the bonus? Well, if you were at E3, you might have seen this display inside the Los Angeles Convention Center:
The Legendary Edition will give your you very own scale replica of that display. The box is awfully large and will set you back $150, but if you want the latest in Halo collectibles, this is it. It also has a marvelously large box, as you can see.

Lift Creates Stop-Motion Heroine 'Henrietta Bulkowski'
Newly-launched stop-motion animation company Lift Animation aims to reinvigorate stop-motion with compelling, courageous and unconventional heroines. Lift Animation aims to push television that features strong female characters for boys and girls, men and women alike.
In Lift's new short film, Henrietta Bulkowski, award-winning filmmaker and founder Rachel Johnson challenges the concept of beauty and explores themes of determination, acceptance and self-discovery. It is the tale of a hunchbacked young woman who yearns to explore the world — but with a spine so crooked and twisted all she can see is the ground. Isolated from the eyes of society in an expansive landfill, Henrietta works relentlessly to build herself a plane to fly away and see the world below her. This film is the story of how she finds happiness.
Since 2011, Lift Animation has been run out of Rachel Johnson's apartment and backyard. Every day, a team of both seasoned professionals and emerging young artists gather in a tiny garage-turned-workshop to build the staggeringly beautiful sets and delicately life-like puppets that breathe life into Henrietta Bulkowski and other visually- striking and meaningful projects. Everyone at Lift is devoted to making beautiful things and telling socially-conscious stories that inspire the outsider in all of us.
Johnson's 2003 short film project, The Toll Collector, was made in the Czech Republic at the world-renowned Trnky Studios. Watch it, and the animated Lift logo, below:
Lift Animation is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to fund the filming of Henrietta Bulkowski. From its humble beginnings, Lift has already created compelling and innovative work; imagine the possibilities as it continues to grow into a full-fledged animation studio.

Anchorage Assembly chairman Ernie Hall fired a key planner in the troubled April 3 election Wednesday, though the city clerk responsible for overseeing the election remains on the job.
Hall said he told deputy clerk Jacqueline Duke she was being dismissed Wednesday. The city clerk and deputy clerk are among the employees who serve at the will of the Assembly.
Hall made the decision to remove Duke himself but had been talking with other assembly members about it, he said.
The city clerk's office oversees elections and came under fire this year after ballots ran out at more than half of all voting precincts on April 3.
On Tuesday, the assembly voted to pay a retired judge $35,000 to investigate what went wrong and recommend ways to avoid similar problems in the future.
Duke was instrumental in planning the election. Her boss, municipal clerk Barbara Gruenstein, was not fired.
Hall did not say why he removed Duke but not Gruenstein.
"I'm not going into that," he said.
Hall said Duke's dismissal was not based on the chaotic election alone. He refused to say what other issues precipitated her removal.
"She has a lot of fine qualities," he said. "We just needed to make a change at the deputy clerk's office."
Duke will be paid until the end of the month. The position will eventually be replaced through an open hiring process, Hall said.
"We had a breakdown in the clerk's office," he said. "What happened in the election is absolutely not solely the deputy clerk's problem."
A review by the city Election Commission found that city employees were "stretched thin" during the elections process. "The burden of additional workload placed undue pressure and stress on staff, allowing details to be overlooked," the report said.
The commission recommended the city clerk "takes a more active role in strategic planning, supervising ballot ordering, training of staff and general oversight." The panel also called for a restructuring of city elections staff, including the hire of an election coordinator.
The city has not had an employee dedicated primarily to election-related tasks since the departure of former elections coordinator Guadalupe Marroquin in 2009, Assembly members say.
Duke, the deputy clerk, absorbed at least some of those election-planning tasks.
Gruenstein has said she talked with her staff about the possibility of high voter turnout in advance of the city election, due to a fractious gay rights question on the ballot, but wasn't involved in deciding details like how many ballots should be sent to each precinct.
"I knew it was going to be high (turnout). I did not get into the level of detail that, in hindsight, I wish I had," Gruenstein said at an April 13 city meeting on the election troubles.
According to Duke's open Facebook page, she worked as a franchise training coordinator for Chili's Grill & Bar before becoming a licensing clerk at the municipality in 2006. She wrote that she had worked as a constituent relations specialist for Mayor Dan Sullivan briefly in 2009 and had been deputy municipal clerk since September of that year.
Duke made about $82,000 a year, according to Dave Brossard, a records tech in the city's employee relations department. Gruenstein is paid about $117,000.

Got any tips and pointers for a friend of yours I should look up? Please post here, PM me or direct your friend here.
Any interest of a possible commercial cooperation, please do gie me a shout.
I am Italian , care to list what you looking for?
I´m especially looking for seasoned mappers/cartographers/artists in said regions. I don´t have any contacts there myself and want to make the first shout-out here (there are numerous online communities we all have access to) because of the general ambition and quality of work presented here.
And Naima, you are italian - yes, excellent. Do you also have any of the skills or know of anyone with those skills I listed?
Due to the nature of the commercial project, it´s hard to enclose so much more in a semi-formal manner. Any further discussions will proceed with those that has the skill or contacts I´ve listed.
Cheers all!
Not sure to understand what you have in mind but frenchie here
I´ll just try to post here a bit so I go over the spam-PM-prevention mojo. Thats for forgetting ones password or mail... Haha..
So, I´ll PM you or anyone else that has a relevant post in this thread.
Thank you!
So if I spam my own thread I might get to contact members by PM.
YAY! I´ll send a PM to both of you soon. Thank you.

Orationes in Catilinam
by Marcus Tullius Cicero
The Catiline Orations are four speeches that Cicero gave as he presented evidence and prosecuted Catiline in the Senate and gave explanations to the people for Catiline's alleged attempts to seize power by force of arms against the Senate. Their polished rhetoric and the skill with which Cicero delivered the speeches gave them the means to survive to the present day, with supporting material that allows us to pinpoint the exact days that they were presented. For a thorough description of the events that transpired during this tumultuous time, the introductions in the Loeb Classical Volume of Cicero's Orationes In Catalinam are highly recommended. Included here is a brief summary of the events in the order that they occurred. Below that you can find a table with hyperlinks to the individual speeches.
|The consular elections are held after a delay to enable the Senate to debate Catiline's election address. Decimus Junius Silanus and Lucius Licinius Murena are elected. Catiline starts to implement plans to seize power by force of arms.
|18 Oct.:
|Crassus brings anonymous letters to Cicero.
|19 Oct.:
|Cicero informs the Senate. The consuls are ordered to make a special investigation.
|19-20 Oct.:
|Cicero receives more detailed information.
|21 Oct.:
|The Senatus consultum ultimum is passed.
|27 Oct.:
|Manlius in open insurrection.
|1 Nov. (approx.):
|The Senate is informed about Manlius.
|6 Nov.:
|The conspirators meet at Laeca's house.
|7 Nov.:
|Abortive attempt on Cicero's life.
|8 Nov.:
|Cicero delivers First Speech against Catiline in the Senate. Catiline leaves Rome.
|9 Nov.:
|Cicero delivers Second Speech against Catiline to the people.
|17 Nov. (approx.):
|Catiline and Manlius outlawed.
|Late Nov. or
early Dec.:
|Trial and acquittal of Murena on a charge of
electoral corruption.
(See Pro Murena).

|3 Dec.:
