Hi-Tech –300 Degree below zero Cryogenic metal treatment transforms Austenitic molecules to more stable Martensitic:
Tempers matrix structures at the molecular level to resist stress
induced distortion.
Brake rotors last longer, increases resistance to warping.
Greatly improves material life and wear resistance. Longer life for
cranks and rods too
Valve gear and transmissions last 2-3 times longer
Springs, both valve and chassis optimized for more consistent
From NASA to NASCAR, the wide spread use of Cryogenic technology in stabilizing a wide variety of metals has been thoroughly tested and documented over the past 20 years. The most advanced process spans over 40 hours in a computer controlled Liquid Nitrogen vapor that slowly takes the target material down to —300 degrees (F) where the carbon molecules are transformed from Austenitic to the more stable a Martensitic matrix.
In real terms, we eliminate residual stress and effectively change the core "default shape", that is changing the memory shape of the base material to a new base configuration. Regarding brake rotors, this means the new default shape is flat and true. As the rotor expands and contracts under thermal stress, it always wants to retain the memory shape thereby resisting distortion. Reduced material wear is another substantial benefit.
All BrakeTech AXIS Design full-floaters are Cryogenically processed in-house to maximize their performance parameters. Considering this process typically costs around $25 per rotor to do yours (plus round trip freight), you'd need to factor in roughly $75 on top of the purchase price of a set of lesser rotors to even begin to compare with the all new, high tech AXIS Design billet rotors.
Does this use of advanced technology guarantee BrakeTech rotors can't be warped? The simple answer is no; but as the only brake manufacturer utilizing this high level of expertise and methodology, we can state you'll not find a better high performance brake rotor. Period.
Correct centering of the double action caliper on the rotor is very important, regardless of the fact that there are live pistons on both sides of the blade supposedly "self-centering" themselves. The fact is, application of the brake intrinsically tries to pull the caliper assembly out of its design plane via the not inconsiderable applied hydraulic forces. On this front, there's two significant actions taking place in the process of braking:
1. Distortion; the hydraulic forces in play not only apply themselves in pressurizing the pistons acting upon the brake pads and working towards stopping the rotational forces of the rotor/wheel assembly, but also play out in the opposite direction as well in attempting to spread the caliper halves. A phenomenon often referred to as the clamshell effect. This usually manifests itself with radially tapered (bottom to top) pad wear, brake howl and piston retraction problems due to this distortion. The new generation calipers, pioneered by Brembo and adopted by Tokico, with their individual pad-per-piston design provides for the incorporation of a rather massive central bridge across the top of the caliper minimizing if not eliminating this effect. As described, this has nothing to do with the caliper being mounted radially or in old-school trailing edge, perpendicular fashion.
Caliper Mount Location; here's where and how the caliper is mounted on the forks becomes a factor, and this is strictly focused on the occurrence of TORSIONAL caliper flex. Bear in mind and heretofore, all conventional calipers are mounted at the trailing edge of the line of force, combined with the fact the energy transfer (to the forks) of the braking forces are focused on just one side of the spinning rotor. Then factor in the normal production tolerances between the mounting faces of the rotor/wheel, fork/caliper, plus perpendicular axle alignment within the wheel to these faces, and more. Of course we can stir the pot with greater possibilities for misalignment with (even just slightly) out of true axles and fork tubes. The end result is there's always some degree of mating issues that ultimately effect performance potential yet are still within factory tolerance. But it is predominantly the torsional twisting effect of the caliper that is the main culprit for setting the gremlins loose during hard braking. The relatively new radial mount caliper design virtually eliminates this torsion flex problem since it more efficiently spreads the load equally both fore and aft to the line of force. It also offers the additional advantage of better (quicker) release at the end of the braking sequence as an additional design benefit.
Different friction materials have their own personalities and characteristics with some leaving greater material transfer on the rotor surface than others. Ideally, when testing pads, the rotor surface should be thoroughly cleaned between compounds by either bead-blasting the rotor surface or using one of the new Rotor Hones we now stock for this purpose. This is something preached regularly to racers we sponsor to optimize braking performance and minimize excessive deposition layer build-up, which can lead to brake judder and screeching noise. Every shop should have a rotor hone in their service department...a very cool and useful tool.
"Wave" type rotors with longish slots can have interesting if not adverse reactions to the very short length 4 pad caliper designs. These pads having much reduced bearing surface area than a conventionally longer pad create greater opportunity for deflection into those slots and missing parts of the rotor. This thereby creates greater tendency towards negative reactions.
Hole Patterns: the individual brake rotor hole pattern (or sine-wave in the case of the "petal" types) all contribute to producing a distinctive sound. Again some patterns produce more than others. Of course friction material plays a part as well with the sintered metal category usually the noisiest in large part due to their greater density and higher metal content. Our rotors and hole patterns are designed to continually clean the face of the friction material evenly across the radius.
Final note on noise; if not properly assembled, the front wheel can actually bind up in the forks causing alignment issues and excessive brake drag (not to mention much greater fork stiction related problems). Any experienced mechanic should be aware of the proper wheel assembly/installment procedures to avoid this phenomenon.
There's actually another significant factor to add as well; brake pad backplate distortion. If the backplate warps, an occurrence much more common with the longer six pot pads than with the short individual pad per piston model for obvious reasons, major problems will result. Brake drag, over-heating, glazing of friction material, excessive noise, warped rotors, etc. are just some of the anticipated consequences.
The following was copied and forwarded to us by a Ferodo / BrakeTech dealer who thought similarly that confusion indeed exists relative to the questions raised in the letter from Greg regarding sintered metal pads versus organic brake pads on cast iron rotors:
> …actually this was from the "instructions" that came with my rear rotor. This was several months ago and I > can't say I recall exactly what the issue was, but believe they said sintered pads would cause excessive > wear on the brake tech rotors. It was immediately followed by a recommendation to use Platinum series > Ferodo pads (of course). > > Anyway, I forgot about it until I bought a set of brake techs for the front. Called the phone # listed > on their web site to ask which pads they would recommend and was told that only Ferodo sintered pads > should be used. Funny how that works, but then what do I know? I've asked people at a shop I trust and > they've not heard of any reason why sintered pads and CI cause problems. Perhaps it's just marketing. > > /Greg
As such, we'd like to take a stab at clarifying some basic points on this rather convoluted issue:
There's really two very elemental dynamics in play when it comes to material life expectancy [rotor and pad] at the friction couple:
Friction related abrasion [on the rotor pad track]
Thermal stress distortion [i.e.: warping of the rotor and/or backplate]
Although this is the simplistic view, I'll focus here since this forms the basis of our recommendations:
1/ MATERIAL ABRASION. Most sintered metal pads are designed specifically for use on stainless steel rotors, which is typically a harder material in general than cast iron. As such, some of these friction materials do indeed gall the rubbing surfaces to varying degrees. If this occurs on stainless, the softer cast iron will normally suffer to a greater extent. Since there are so many different sintered materials out in the market (with the vast majority specific to stainless steel) we must as a general rule of thumb recommend to our customers that they not use them on their iron rotors as the potential for premature problems is real and potentially expensive.
Furthermore, using sintered metal pads (any) on Gray iron or individual mold casting rotors can be a recipe for disaster. 2/ THERMAL DYNAMICS. Regarding sintered pads on Ductile iron, Gray iron, carbon steel or stainless for that matter; using the base assumption that the friction material isn't overly abrasive [causing galling, scoring, etc.], the real issue is thermal capacity.
All conventional metals used in rotors have their own thermal dynamics to deal with; total mass, shape, lightening/venting hole type (placement and quantity) combined with inherent thermal conductivity of the resident material all play an integral role in material stability at peak operating temperatures. What we're essentially talking about here is resistance to distortion [warping, coning, etc.].
This is a complicated and convoluted subject that has few simple answers as there are so many variables to factor in. But one basic truth is that the sintered pads, including our new SinterGrip series, run hotter at the interface than do "most" organic pads...by as much as 150 degrees [F] in our testing. If you're running near the edge of thermal capacity with a particular rotor type and design and high performance / racing organic pads (like the carbon based CP series: 911Star, CP211 and the new CP1), switching to a racing sintered pad will surely exacerbate the problem.
In majority of instances where a problem occurs, thermal stress induced distortion is the culprit.
Another area of potential confusion is the many and significant differences between the classes of iron; the two main categories being primarily the Ductile irons and Grays irons. There simply isn't sufficient room here to expand on those differences here without taking up excessive room...have to leave that for another time.
We manufacture the BrakeTech full-floating rotors from computer controlled Continuous Cast [billet] nodular ductile iron supplied by America's oldest and most experienced foundry specializing in advanced composition cast iron. Cutting from billet is clearly a more expensive process than many others but we do this to have greater control over material matrix, eliminate porosity and have the most consistent micro-structure possible.
Does all this extra care and material selection guarantee they won't warp? Nope. There's very few guarantee's in this world (outside of death and taxes) and in the rarefied atmosphere of racing, even less...we just build our brake rotors to be the best possible given the material technology of today.
In final answer to Greg's question regarding our recommendation of the Ferodo SinterGrip ST pads on the AXIS rotors; we've dyno tested them extensively and have discovered no significant abrasion related issues with this combination. After over 200 dyno runs, they didn't distort either. But bottom line when it comes to thermal stress distortion; as noted above, there's no guarantee this won't happen under the right circumstances. Hope this provides some insight.
What is Full-Floating?Full floating rotors, such as were originally conceived, were designed to reduce the tendency towards thermal stress induced distortion due to uneven thermal expansion under load. Prior to the introduction (by Brembo) of this design, brake rotors in the motorcycle industry were simply round discs bolted solidly to the wheel. You may remember if you've been around long enough, the rotors on the early CB750 and Z-1's were nearly 7mm thick and weighed accordingly. This was in effort to keep them from warping. Now days, the only road bikes coming through with solid mount (front) brakes are the Cruisers and budget bikes.
Today's Sportbikes abound with trick features and hardware in every nook and cranny. Brakes too. The brake rotors on them work remarkably well considering their mass-produced (read: stamped) manufacturing process. These are technically semi-floaters as the outer SS blade is nearly bolted solid to the carrier via the stamped stainless steel rivets.
True full-floaters move on the carriers, this allows them to self-center in the caliper for reduced brake drag and "float" unimpeded for unrestricted expansion and contraction during repeated thermal cycling. The only serious down side is a bit of rattle that reminds you these are indeed full-floaters.
Does all this guarantee they won't distort under severe duty conditions? No, unfortunately, there's precious few guarantee's these days. But they do perform as advertised in improving overall braking performance while significantly reducing that distortion tendency.
BTW: All Superbikes, GP machines and the like unanimously have full-floating brake rotors
Brake Drag and wheel binding? Excessive brake drag is usually caused by one of several possible culprits:
1) Warped backplates; if your pads aren't flat, you'll definitely experience greater brake drag as when the lever is released and the caliper pistons are retracted from the pads, the you'll still have rotor/friction material contact since the seals can only retract the pistons a very small fraction.
2) Misalignment; if the wheel/caliper/fork assembly alignment is off, binding of the assembly will often occur (bent axles and triple-clamps will be a problem here too). This is particularly true if assembled and tightened while on a front wheel stand (attaching from the fork bottoms). Best way is to have everything assembled but not tightened on the stand, then let it down and bounce the fork/wheel a few times to center everything, then tighten.
4) Excessive deposition layer build-up: all friction materials impart a thin transfer layer on the brake rotors pad track. This is a normal part of the bed-in process. But some transfer more than others, creating an excessive and/or uneven build-up that can cause problems with brake drag, brake judder and deteriorating performance. Suspect rotors should be bead-blasted or rotor honed if you don't have access to the blast cabinet (Racers: do this at least every third race weekend, more often if possible). For best results, it is recommended to perform this regiment every time you change friction materials!
5) Disc Thickness Variation: A DTV of over +.0005" can often result in brake vibration. Although not common, is does occur. Suspect rotor should be carefully measured with an accurate 0-1" micrometer by an experienced technician.
For changing material compound of brake pads (organic to sintered or vise-versa), the rotors should be thoroughly cleaned on the pad track area by either bead blasting or employing the easy to use new Rotor Hone.
The easiest way to use the Rotor Hone is to do it on the bike;
STEP ONE: With the front end off the ground on a proper stand, get a buddy to spin the wheel. Using a hand held drill set in the low RPM/high torque mode, angle the abrasive balls of the hone at about 10 degrees off of parallel from the rotor surface applying medium pressure to pad track area. You're looking to remove the darkened burnished deposition layer to the clean and bright base rotor material. Using this process, an ideal circular cross-hatch surface is created. It's simple and relatively quick. Do both sides this way. Remove the wheel and reverse the rotors by flipping them over (when offset permits), repeating the process to condition the opposite sides.
STEP TWO: When down to a relatively clean surface, it's time to clean the remaining abrasive particles left by the Rotor Hone as the final op. You'll need a stiff bristle toothbrush and Acetone. Dipping the brush into a small container of Acetone, aggressively brush the rotors pad track area with generous amounts of Acetone (of course use proper eye protection and approved rubber gloves). Again, this a quick and easy way of eliminating contaminants leaving a clean surface ideal for fast and hassle free bed-in of new pads.
WARNING: The Rotor Hone employs Aluminum Oxide abrasives, which if applied to excess, can cause rotor damage. Do not excessively hone one spot but rather follow the instructions detailed in Step One. Take your time to get the hang of proper usage. Done correctly, the results are most satisfying.
Interesting how things that oftentimes appear to be a radical departure from the "norm" are in fact evolutionary rather than a genuine fundamental revolution. The new buzz on Radial Mount Calipers is straight from the automotive industry with a few minor tweaks. With cars, they've almost always mounted the calipers in a fore and aft manner because it's a straight up simple and strong way to do so. Granted, the new motorcycle version has finally taken that lead and adapted the concept by incorporating a radial mount instead of the commonplace perpendicular (90 degree to rotor face axis) mounting bosses universally prevalent today. In reality, whether calipers are mounted radially or perpendicularly is of little consequence, having only to do with the fact that the new generation calipers can be made a bit lighter via the radial mount set-up (no other significant performance difference here).
I know I'm going to disappoint more than a few technophiles here by stating the Radial Mount design in and of itself offers no real world performance gains beyond improved pad wear characteristics, and that is almost strictly focused on the near elimination of TORSIONAL caliper flex. Bear in mind and heretofore, all conventional calipers are mounted at the trailing edge of the line of force, combined with the fact the energy transfer (to the forks) of the braking forces are all focused on just one side of the clamping pressure as applied to the spinning rotor. Then factor in the normal production tolerances between the mounting faces of the rotor/wheel, fork/caliper, plus perpendicular axle alignment within the wheel to these faces, and more. Of course we can stir the pot with greater possibilities for misalignment with (even just slightly) out of true axles and fork tubes. The end result is there's always some degree of mating issues that ultimately effect performance potential yet are still within factory tolerance. Depending on degree of misalignment, a torsional twisting effect of the caliper can come into play during hard braking. This usually manifests itself with radial tapered (bottom to top) pad wear, brake howl and piston retraction problems due to this distortion. The relatively new radial mount caliper design virtually eliminates this torsion flex problem since it more efficiently spreads the load both fore and aft to the line of force. It also offers the additional advantage of better (quicker) release at the end of the braking sequence (FYI: brake pad compounds play a large part here, too). Which from the racing perspective provides a cleaner transition when braking into the apex on the edge of disaster. This is a very good thing indeed. But again, something you the average weekend warrior will not likely feel at the lever.
As a sidebar, the single action calipers (live pistons on one side only) such as what came on the CBR600F3 (and is standard on virtually all Motocross bikes) have categorically fallen out of favor for use on Sportbikes. This is primarily due to the fact they suffer from unavoidably greater degrees of flex inherent in the calipers floating pin design and minimal piston area (compared to the modern double action calipers).
The Real World of Greater Performance: Here's where it really gets interesting: incorporated into the design of the new generation Radial Mount Calipers is the latest in braking technology led by two basic concepts. Of course there's more to it than just this, but in an attempt to keep it simple, the elements can be effectively identified by these two separate yet related categories: 1. CALIPER STIFFNESS 2. BRAKE PAD DESIGN AND THE LEADING EDGE Caliper Deflection: The difference in deflection between the O.E. calipers and the dedicated racing caliper is remarkably quite large. Rigidity plays a major role here. And there's also a surprising difference between the various O.E. manufacturers in this critical area of stiffness. Bear in mind that on a World Supersport spec heavy braker, we found vertical (up to down) pad taper, just a tenth of mm (.004") but this is clearly representative of an existing problem. Under severe conditions, caliper deflection is manifest as either inconsistent braking performance and/or a somewhat vague feel at the brake lever. Other factors such as fluid integrity, i.e. relative to water saturation point and resultant resistance to fluid boil (wet vs. dry boiling point), plus backplate flatness and to a lesser extent, friction material compressibility all play a significant role here, too. This is clearly demonstrated on the research dyno where simply changing calipers on the test fixture (with same compound pad and rotor) equates to sometimes dramatically different friction level curves. This is much more pronounced with O.E. calipers than the high-end billet racing counter-parts…but in all fairness, the production O.E. calipers still do a very good job overall, particularly when cost is factored in.
Another fundamental and crucial difference here is with material and manufacturing techniques. Production machines invariably use mass produced cast calipers versus the race-bred gems found in SBK & MotoGP. Those are the real beauties, CNC machined from substantially higher tensile strength billet stock and often sporting ventilated Titanium pistons. The differences are again manifold but paramount is superior rigidity combined with a typically longer and narrower pad shape. The Narrow Track layout focuses the applied braking pressure over a somewhat smaller area, optimizing [in microseconds] the reaction time of the braking forces. Of course another advantage of the race specific calipers is their lighter weight due in large part again to the higher psi capabilities of the premium grade billet material.
With cost always an issue with production bikes; brake designers went back to the drawing boards to boost performance while keeping a bean counters check on cost considerations.
Brembo again forged the way forward with the introduction in late 2000 of their stunning Four Pad caliper, which found a home in both the Aprilia Mille and the Ducati 748 and 998 R models. These were the first of their kind using the individual pad per piston design in a mass produced production caliper. They wisely addressed the performance advantages of increased stiffness with the addition of a massive bridge over the top of the pad cavity opening, greatly increasing resistance to distortion.
PAD DESIGN, the Leading Edge: The new generation Brembo 4 Piston Caliper design was then further enhanced by incorporating four separate pads operating with larger equal sized 34mm pistons (than their 30/34mm twin pin forerunner). The necessity of using differential bore piston diameters to reduce pad taper (fore and aft) became a moot point when switching to the short individual pad and piston arrangement. Greater piston area mated to a properly sized mastercylinder piston (ratio) improved performance values. But there's an additional benefit to the individual pad/piston configuration: greater initial bite. Inevitably, as the pads friction material bears down on the rotor during braking, each leading edge acts with greater force than its trailing counterpart, adding additional grip in the process. Think of it in terms of the friction material trying to wedge into the rotor. More leading edges…more bite. Although this is for the most part noticeable mainly in the initial braking sequence, but the end result is another notch up the bar in performance levels. This fact is not new having been around in the Aftermarket for years. Companies like ISR, Harrison, PM and others have and continue to offer these in various combinations. Bear in mind however, you the consumer are going to pay for this improved performance with a notably higher pad replacement cost.
And now Tokico has taken this concept another step by incorporating a beautifully sculpted individual pad/piston design into the trick looking radial mount system, debuting on the new 2003 Kawasaki ultra ZX6R/RR and Suzuki with their revised GSX-R1000 assault weapon. So bottom line, what does it mean to you the Sportbike enthusiast and weekend warrior? In simple terms, it's stronger brakes. Evidently the O.E.'s think enough so to warrant down sizing the rotors to improve handling and turn-in performance via reduced rotating mass (less gyroscopic forces). It will surely be of interest to all to see how well these smaller, lighter rotors will like this arrangement. Rotors with less material mass and heat sink capability often suffer more from fatal thermal stress distortion.
Does all this new-fangled brake design mean the current crop of high performance calipers are making a quick exodus to the dust-bins? Not likely. Need proof? The 2002 World Superbike Champion Colin Edwards and the mighty Honda VTR1000Sp2 used the traditional Nissin 6 pot billet race caliper all season…Old World perpendicular mount and all. Could it be Honda was too cheap to fork over the cash for the latest radial mount version? Yeah, right! Sure looked to me like the new Champs brakes were working just fine…

LAS VEGAS—As anyone who's been in (or a fan of) the adult industry for a while knows, Steven St. Croix is one of the best adult actors around, so it's hardly surprising that he won the Best Actor honors for his role in New Sensations Couples' Torn—except that St. Croix himself might disagree.
"I recently told someone, 'You know, I realize that people just assume that I'm so good that I just wake up spouting monologues, but there are weaknesses in my craft as an actor that I'm well aware of, and one of those things is being able to play vulnerability, being able to contain myself instead of "chewing the scenery," as they say,'" St. Croix reflected. "Containment and focus are things that I've always had to work on, and because of this particular role, I was just getting out of something personally that was very painful for me, so it was very hard for me to go into that space in my head that allowed me to be open and to be vulnerable and to not play the person that has buttoned up that trauma and that pain and has moved past it. So I had to revisit that, so it was very difficult for me, and I think people don't realize that."
Also, St. Croix's having been away from performing between late 2010 and the beginning of 2012 didn't help in landing the role.
"When I came back, Dana DeArmond had told me about this director, Jacky St. James, who was writing movies that were considered couples features: strong on story and strong on character," he recalled. "So I had contacted Renae at New Sensations and Renae said, 'Let me introduce you to Jacky,' so I went in there and I met with Jacky. She was actually in the middle of writing Torn, and as she was writing the character that I played, she couldn't think of anyone who could play the character. So we met, we spoke for 20 minutes, and she didn't know who I was; she'd heard of me, but we had that initial meeting, and she asked me to come in and audition a couple of weeks later, [for] which she apologized profusely after we'd finished shooting the movie, but she's like, 'I never worked with you so I don't know what you can and can't do,' and I totally understood."
One of the things St. Croix liked best about Torn was being able to work with two excellent actresses: one older (India Summer) and one younger (Remy LaCroix).
"I love India," he said. "The way that she carries herself, and her physical looks and her physical presence is very sexy, and she aspires to do really her best when it comes to acting. In the story, our sex scene is supposed to be a little distant, like she's not really into it, she's just going through the motions. As it played out in reality, though, it became very passionate, which I think was more real, because my character had this deep love for his wife and he wanted to express it physically and she was kind of denying him, so I think initially the thought was kind of like an angry sex, or 'I just want to get my nut,' but as it played out, this pent-up passion and frustration that he had for his wife, who he truly was still in love with, made the scene much more layered than was originally on paper, and I thought it was a great scene.
"Remy, she was new," he continued. "I had never worked with her, and so when I first met her, there was this youth and this bounciness and this energy of, I guess, maybe two different generations coming together, and I was really impressed by how she approached her role. She was great as an actress. The sex with her was really—I actually felt a little unfulfilled, like I really want to work with her again because I don't think we really scraped the bottom of the barrel with what we could probably do, but she was fantastic and I think she definitely deserved winning Best New Starlet."

Both R. and I thought it was amazing. Even if you don't think you'd be interested in it based on the summaries you'll see on goodreads or amazon, read it. Much longer than what I like to read, and I was so very sad when it was over and I had to say goodbye to the characters.
I wanted to like this book but it's too long and the different plot lines were inconsistent in holding my interest.
4.5 stars
This is an American Classic in the truest & fullest sense of the term. Taking place at the dawn of America's birth as a superpower, offering a history of an American art form - the comics, replete with their own superheroes & superpowers - wrapped around what is arguably America's noblest act to date (the involvement in WWII, from all levels of American society), sharing the life of an American boy & his refugee cousin, this is a tale for the ages.
My only complaints:
1. It did run a little long. The language & prose is beautiful, but could have been trimmed down.
2. It's supposed to serve as a history of these two characters from the Golden Age of Comics. It even comes with footnotes to support that illusion. Yet the "historian" is omniscient, offering details he tells us should be lost to history - utterly & completely lost. While I'm grateful for those details (like Joe's last letter from his mother), the appearance of a footnote verifying something else a paragraph or two later only muddies the idea. I wish he would have either abandoned this tactic, or stuck by it better.
If I got to use decimal points, I'd probably put this at a 3.75 but I don't so it's a four. Chabon has a amazing ability to set a story in a world that no one else would think to. And his characters are always so well written.
If I got to use decimal points, I'd probably put this at a 3.75 but I don't so it's a four. Chabon has a amazing ability to set a story in a world that no one else would think to. And his characters are always so well written.
It's like a graphic novel inked in words and starring the author himself in the lead role: Wonder Boy.
This is definitely New York, the old-school version. In the fusion of dashing young men in fresh new $12 suits, the smell of newsprint and burned coffee and laundry, and the courage to face unrelenting evil with pluck and humor, Chabon has created an important work, a version of the 20th century both thrillingly recognizable and all his own.
Although suffused with tragedy, ''The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay'' proves to be a comic epic, generously optimistic about the human struggle for personal liberation.
With ''The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay,'' Mr. Chabon has fashioned a big, ripe, excitingly imaginative novel and set it in the world of his grandfather, a New York City typographer at a plant where comics were printed... In loving if sometimes windy detail, since his great book is buried inside a larger and more meandering one, the prodigiously talented author of ''Wonder Boys'' leads readers into the world of Sam and Joe's pop collaboration.
Chabon is a genius --- there is no other way to describe his ability to blend Hitler, comic books, brotherhood, first love, fame and the pitfalls of celebrity, Brooklyn Jewish home life, the European struggle against the Third Reich, America's growing prosperity, and good-looking women who use their smarts and their curves to get ahead in the world together in such a cohesive, complete story.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312282990, Paperback)Like the comic books that animate and inspire it, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is both larger than life and of it too. Complete with golems and magic and miraculous escapes and evil nemeses and even hand-to-hand Antarctic battle, it pursues the most important questions of love and war, dreams and art, across pages brimming with longing and hope. Samuel Klayman--self-described little man, city boy, and Jew--first meets Josef Kavalier when his mother shoves him aside in his own bed, telling him to make room for their cousin, a refugee from Nazi-occupied Prague. It's the beginning, however unlikely, of a beautiful friendship. In short order, Sam's talent for pulp plotting meets Joe's faultless, academy-trained line, and a comic-book superhero is born. A sort of lantern-jawed equalizer clad in dark blue long underwear, the Escapist "roams the globe, performing amazing feats and coming to the aid of those who languish in tyranny's chains!" Before they know it, Kavalier and Clay (as Sam Klayman has come to be known) find themselves at the epicenter of comics' golden age.
But Joe Kavalier is driven by motives far more complex than your average hack. In fact, his first act as a comic-book artist is to deal Hitler a very literal blow. (The cover of the first issue shows the Escapist delivering "an immortal haymaker" onto the Führer's realistically bloody jaw.) In subsequent years, the Escapist and his superhero allies take on the evil Iron Chain and their leader Attila Haxoff--their battles drawn with an intensity that grows more disturbing as Joe's efforts to rescue his family fail. He's fighting their war with brush and ink, Joe thinks, and the idea sustains him long enough to meet the beautiful Rosa Saks, a surrealist artist and surprisingly retrograde muse. But when even that fiction fails him, Joe performs an escape of his own, leaving Rosa and Sammy to pick up the pieces in some increasingly wrong-headed ways.
More amazing adventures follow--but reader, why spoil the fun? Suffice to say, Michael Chabon writes novels like the Escapist busts locks. Previous books such as The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys have prose of equal shimmer and wit, and yet here he seems to have finally found a canvas big enough for his gifts. The whole enterprise seems animated by love: for his alternately deluded, damaged, and painfully sincere characters; for the quirks and curious innocence of tough-talking wartime New York; and, above all, for comics themselves, "the inspirations and lucubrations of five hundred aging boys dreaming as hard as they could." Far from negating such pleasures, the Holocaust's presence in the novel only makes them more pressing. Art, if not capable of actually fighting evil, can at least offer a gesture of defiance and hope--a way out, in other words, of a world gone completely mad. Comic-book critics, Joe notices, dwell on "the pernicious effect, on young minds, of satisfying the desire to escape. As if there could be any more noble or necessary service in life." Indeed. --Mary Park

With this brilliant novel, the bestselling author of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Wonder Boys gives us an exhilarating triumph of language and invention, a stunning novel in which the tragicomic adventures of a couple of boy geniuses reveal much about what happened to America in the middle of the twentieth century. Like Phillip Roth's American Pastoral or Don DeLillo's Underworld, Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a superb novel with epic sweep, spanning continents and eras, a masterwork by one of America's finest writers. It is New York City in 1939. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdini-esque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat to date: smuggling himself out of Nazi-occupied Prague. He is looking to make big money, fast, so that he can bring his family to freedom. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a collaborator to create the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book. Out of their fantasies, fears, and dreams, Joe and Sammy weave the legend of that unforgettable champion the Escapist. And inspired by the beautiful and elusive Rosa Saks, a woman who will be linked to both men by powerful ties of desire, love, and shame, they create the otherworldly mistress of the night, Luna Moth. As the shadow of Hitler falls across Europe and the world, the Golden Age of comic books has begun. The brilliant writing that has led critics to compare Michael Chabon to John Cheever and Vladimir Nabokov is everywhere apparent in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Chabon writes "like a magical spider, effortlessly spinning out elaborate webs of words that ensnare the reader," wrote Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times about Wonder Boys-and here he has created, in Joe Kavalier, a hero for the century.

Hailing from the Netherlands, Fluisteraars play black metal. Dromers is Fluisteraars's debut full-length studio CD (courtesy of Germany's Eisenwald Tonschmiede in conjunction with Cold Void Emanations), having already unleashed two well-received demos.
Dromers consists of three tracks totaling more than 34 minutes, so the shortest track here clocks in at more than eight minutes. The CD starts off the "De Doornen," and immediately the cult black metal sound assaults the senses. The pace is fast, the rhythm guitar distorted, the drums straightforward and obscured, and the vocals scowled by a demon down below. As with most traditional black metal, the approach is relatively simple, with the guitar riffs lasting a long time, but there are also a few switches in approach, with acoustic guitars complemented by melodic leads signaling transitions. Melody clashes with harmony, giving the overall sound a richness very few other genres can achieve.
"Kuddedier" continues in the same vein as "De Doornen," with the principal guitar riff changing very little. However, the lead guitar riff undergoes a dramatic shift, evoking a more mournful, emotive approach that will get the attention of most listeners. This shift continues with the vocals, which bring with them a pain that is palpable and present. The atmosphere here is one of a bleak winter, with hints of chilled breezes infiltrated even the warmest of places. It is this type of black metal that I really enjoy, so this track has become my favorite of the three.
Closing out the CD is the track "Wortels Van Angst." This track is completely different than the previous two, with the rhythm and lead guitars working closer together to weave complementary melodies that produce a more accessible composition. Like "De Doornen," there is an atmospheric quality to Wortels Van Angst" that moves the emotions, only in this instance the effect is more majestic, almost mystical. This track also brings forward some nice work on piano, which offsets a blistering guitar screech.
In totality, Dromers is a moving slab of black metal, one that hearkens to the beginnings of the genre yet also hints at its bleak future. Fluisteraars makes an impressive debut in the crowded international genre of black metal, and that in itself is most impressive.

Elevation: 1484 ft. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, Montgomery Hall Park is a large, multi-use park that includes hiking trails, playgrounds, picnic shelters, and ballfields. The park is chiefly comprised of hardwood forest interspersed with pines. This is a good inner-city spot to find migrant warblers, thrushes, and vireos. In the spring, birders may find Blackburnian, cerulean, and Cape May warblers. The fall may hold treasures such as Connecticut and Nashville warblers, and Philadelphia vireo. Resident species include pileated woodpecker and eastern screech-owl. In the summer, look for nesting birds such as brown thrasher, gray catbird, eastern towhee, and yellow-breasted chat. Wintering birds include white-throated sparrow and dark-eyed junco. Woodland butterflies such as common wood nymph can be found fluttering about woodland edges, while eastern tiger swallowtail and red-spotted purple flit about wildflowers in bloom. A checklist of birds observed here by Mrs. Yulee Larner is available at the park.

Date: January 23 2013
SHANE Warne's rapid descent from buoyant to embittered over the past six weeks began in the match that was supposed to further his claims - made on the eve of the Big Bash League - that the only thing preventing him from again excelling for Australia in Tests was his contented family life.
It was not just an expensive bowling stint in the season-opening Melbourne derby for the Stars against the Renegades - 0-41 from two overs - that was cause for alarm, but also the easy catch he dropped off Faf du Plessis. Each in isolation was hard to fathom, yet together they were a sign that there was no longer a guarantee that Warne, 43, would succeed.
Given Warne's pre-BBL declaration he was ''jumping out of my skin to have a bowl'', the prickly manner in which he finished the tournament, in regard to the Stars' semi-final exit and a string of disciplinary charges against him, seemed symptomatic of a champion player struggling to accept, while under the public glare he has relished for almost 20 years, he is no longer capable of doing what he used to do so effortlessly.
Warne has already been pilloried sufficiently for his rabid baiting of opponent Marlon Samuels and, less seriously, for devising a captaincy rort. For all the condemnation of him over those incidents, particularly the former, defenders of him retort that he was never a cleanskin even during his peak so should not be expected to fulfil that role now.
Season one of Warne's comeback to the BBL in 2011-12 was not a success in terms of wickets - he claimed seven in eight matches - but he was the Stars' most economical bowler - a sign of his accuracy and also that batsmen were cowered by his reputation when facing him.
The key difference between last season and this season was how little, in comparison, Warne was willing to trust himself. When Cameron White was in charge in season one, the leg-spinner bowled his full allocation in all but one match. This season he bowled his full four-over allocation in three of seven matches.
While Warne was accused of lacking mettle for not bowling himself at all in the Stars' semi-final loss against Perth, it was actually justifiable, as captain, for him to have preferred the seamers given the greasy conditions and the way Perth's spinners had been flayed beforehand. In the other three matches, however, there were no comparable explanations.
In the 20 overs Warne bowled in the BBL, from which he claimed four wickets at an average of 39.75 and conceded 7.95 runs an over, he was struck for four on average once every two-and-a-half overs, and for six just under every three-and-a-half overs.
By comparison, Warne's long-time spin rival Muthiah Muralidaran boasted not only better overall results from his 32 overs - 11 wickets at 17.36 while conceding 5.97 runs an over - but was roughly twice as good as Warne at restricting boundaries, with a four every four-and-a-half overs and a six once every eight.
Muralidaran also bowled his full four-over allocation in every match.
Like Warne a year earlier, Muralidaran's great record was due not just to his good bowling but because batsmen still feared him.
It would be wrong to say Warne was inept during the BBL because, with the exception of his fielding, he wasn't. He suffered few yips with the ball and was still adept at landing his leg-spinners. But the fear-factor among his opponents was not there.
All the evidence suggests that while Warne remains a handy leg-spinner, he is no longer a champion, which no one - besides possibly Warne himself - would expect him to be at his age.
Warne's hard-earned reputation from his international career remains intact. He could conceivably return next season and still do a solid job for the Stars. The long-time star of the show would just have to brace for a demotion to supporting actor.

Is the plane at Area 51? Of course not...but I can make the EXIF think so!
In a recent article I pointed to the accumulating evidence that the MH-370 disappearance, or at least the perpetuation of disappearance in the news cycle, was part of a larger plan to distract the public. As part of that article I discussed a recent article which both Steve Quayle and the Intelhub are hyping pretty strongly (hmmm.. ad revenue) regarding the supposedly leaking of an iPhone photo from a captive passenger named Phillip Wood. The image contained meta data stored in EXIF format which is the critical component of the articles evidence that the plane is in Diego Garcia (a military transport/bomber base) and Wood is indeed alive.
Normally I would have just stuck with my statement in the article regarding why this is a HOAX, but I recently came across an article about Sara Bajc, Phillip Wood's partner, who is now claiming "someone" saw fighter aircraft escorting the plane and appears to be grasping onto these theories. Based on that article, again on the IntelHub, I really felt I needed to expose this.
As a conspiracy researcher, I put a lot of time into connecting dots. Sometimes those connections are tenuous, but they are legitimate. It really troubles me when obviously hoaxed stories are now being distributed as fact and many times to standup to those "crank" theories you are called a "shill" or "tool of the Illuminati." That is a bad precedent, but what is worse is grieving families desperate for their loved one to be alive hanging onto these stories, when they are obviously fake. It also troubles me that poorly researched stories like this filter into the mass public and make all of us who do good work, or at least better work, look like "nuts." I don't appreciate that. I may make some grammar mistakes for the sake of an easier read, but I check my facts and this whole process took me a whole 30 to 45 minutes of my time to figure out.
So with that in place I will now debunk the "Phillip Wood, Diego Garcia, I have an iPhone in my Butt" story.
As I understand it the Phillip Wood story rests firmly on two facts. The first fact is that Wood could smuggle the phone off the plane in his anus and connect it to send the photo. The second fact is that the EXIF data in the picture is accurate and as both the Intelhub and Steve Quayle claim - it cannot be edited.
Section One - The Physical iPhone
So in looking at the Phillip Wood story it is completely possible that Wood did hide the iPhone in his anus. It would not have been comfortable, and most likely would not have stayed in there but it could be done for a period of time. There are, however, several major problems with this account.
- If we assume Wood, and the other passengers, are in some sort of CIA detention facility (Diego Garcia has been used for "rendition flights") , I think we could safely assume a couple of things. The first being is that Wood would be hooded and his hands bound not to mention in a stress position. That would make getting the cell phone operable very difficult. It would be possible but hard but if he did get the iPhone operable, the cell would be monitored by CIA operatives and most likely shielded to prevent such activities. We like to say a lot of things about the CIA but they are actually pretty good at what they do so I would find it unlikely that they would put Wood in a position where he could simply dial up a cell phone and send an message.
- This is the bigger problem. For this whole operation to work Wood would need a cell phone which can connect to a cell network and send messages (or Wifi - but open wifi or even wifi in a CIA detention facility? That's pretty ridiculous.). So there in lies the rub. I contacted Sure.io (formerly Cable & Wireless Diego Garcia) and they assured me that if you want you phone to work (and its an unlocked quad band phone) you need to get a Sure.io sim card. No sim card no connection and that is case closed - the end of this conspiracy. A 15 minutes email to sure.io debunked this, 15 minutes of research and thats all. But for the sake of discussion I will also debunk the image as well.
So as we can see this "theory " is not only improbable but also pretty much impossible.
Section Two - The Photo and GPS
The second part of this theory revolves around the claim that Wood snuck a photo with is now "extracted" iPhone and was able to snap a photo. He did this knowing that the GPS data of the photo location would be stored in the photo in EXIF format. Which as it would happen is totally true, in fact it is that data which was faked which serves not only as the core of this "theory" but also its undoing.
If you look at the EXIF data from the original (reproduced here on a website decoder) you see a latitude and longitude which correspond to Diego Garcia, home of the supposed CIA facility wood is being held at. So from the article we are told that this data is not editable. This is NOT TRUE and I will demonstrate just how false this is.
|GPS Altitude Ref
|Sea level
|GPS Latitude
|GPS Latitude Ref
|GPS Longitude
|GPS Longitude Ref
|GPS Version ID
|2 2 0 0
The first thing we need to do is locate a good EXIF Editor. I chose EXIF Editor which for $9.99 on the app store was a steal. There are also instructions here for doing it with Picassa which is free and apparently the way it was done for this hoax.
Get the original - http://intellihub.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/1395192158752.jpg
Open EXIF Editor
Find New GPS Coordinates (Lets use Area 51!)
Ok we have the GPS coordinates
Lets EDIT the EXIF GPS data! Wait you can't do that??? Oh yes you can and we have the technology (for $9.99 on the App Store!). In fact EXIF Editor even has a easy to use map!
Click process and bammo (that's a real word) edited EXIF (see below). If you have requests please let me know and I can edit one up for you..
You can try it yourself! If you need to save $9.99 or don't have a Apple try the instructions at https://www.metabunk.org/threads/debunked-mh370-passenger-philip-wood-sends-photo-text-from-diego-garcia-fake-exif-gps-data.3397/ so you can do it in Picassa for free! This took another 15 minutes worth of time. So in under 30 minutes this entire story has been shown to be a HOAX or at least disinformation. If you are interested in why I think this is happening please refer to my other article <HERE>.
Thank you for your time!

09/13/2013—It's always intriguing to see what's percolating inside the heads of Lexus designers.
As it turns out, much of their creative energy of late has been focused on the new LF-NX hybrid concept—an "urban-centric" compact premium crossover SUV unveiled this month at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
In profile, muscular wheel arches are trimmed with a black protective finish that typifies an urban crossover. Above the pronounced diamond shape of the belt line, a classic Lexus side glazing profile and steeply raked tailgate create the sweeping silhouette of an athletic coupe.
Additionally, the concept is equipped with a full hybrid powertrain tuned for SUV performance, and at lower speeds, the LF-NX can operate under electric motor power alone.
And according to Mark Templin, executive vice president of Lexus International, this vehicle gives Lexus fans "insight into the future evolution" of Lexus's evolving design language:

I took this helicopter tour with my husband. We were so excited to do and it was worth it! Unfortunately our schedule was so tight that we had to rearrange it to be during the daytime (rather than the night tour). They were so kind and understanding and without any objections allowed us to do the tour during the day. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have the best LA trip!
David W United Kingdom
The company that actually operates the flights is a great little company with staff that really care and give a great commentary as you fly around. The company put back into the community, teaching kids from 8 and above to fly!
I was happy for the most part, but the description said we could customize where we wanted to go, and the pilot would only go on a specific route. Also, it said 40 minutes, and we were only in the air for 30.
our pilot was super funny and nice, but the helicopter ride itself was just o-kay. i felt as though it was a bit deceiving. first, the trip that i booked was for forty minutes. we boarded at 3:00 P.M. and got back at 3:20 P.M. i told the pilot that the trip was very short, and he said that we were up in the air for forty minutes. although i knew we really weren't. i still tipped him anyways because he was nice. i would try a different helicopter ride next time. might as well pay a bit extra and not have to drive to compton and probably a more non exaggerated time.

College Hockey:Miller, Croteau Put NHC Into D-II Finals
Fast Start Downs Stonehill; St. Anselm Next Up In Title Tilt
HOOKSETT, N.H. — Senior Rich Miller scored two goals and classmate Chuck Croteau added three assists to lead New Hampshire College to a 5-2 victory over Stonehill in the semifinals of the ECAC Division II Tournament Thursday at Tri-Town Arena.
NHC improved to 17-7-1 and will face St. Anselm in the championship Saturday.
Stonehill closed out its year at 10-11-1. St. Anselm, the defending tournament champion, advanced with a 5-4 victory over St. Michael's.
Freshman goaltender Brian Holland made 29 saves for NHC and kept the Chieftains off the scoreboard for 46:58. Senior Dan Roy helped the NHC cause with a goal and an assist. Senior Jeff Rowe totaled a goal and an assist for Stonehill and closed out the year with a team-high 20 goals and 42 points.
Miller gave the Penmen a 1-0 lead just 5:03 into the game and Croteau doubled NHC's lead with 3:14 left in the first period. NHC maintained a 2-0 lead until Miller scored his team-leading 18th goal of the year with 3:36 left in the second period. Senior Scott Proulx gave NHC a 4-0 lead just 1:53 into the final period.
Sophomore Brendan Flemming denied Holland his first career shutout when he scored a power-play goal at 6:58 of the third period. NHC secured the win with an empty net goal by freshman Michael Flynn with 3:32 left to play.
Sophomore Phil Graves went the distance in net for Stonehill and made 26 saves.
Saint Anselm defeated NHC in the inaugural ECAC Division II tournament championship last year, 7-1.

In order to simplify the hydraulic circuit and realize greater responsiveness and seamless operation, shorten the hydraulic circuit by 40% by integrating a linear solenoid into the right-hand-side cover. This design drastically reduces cost compared with an external linear solenoid.
Add a learning function for optimal automatic clutch and gear shift control to determine, in the same mode, whether the vehicle is running on a street or through a mountain pass. Furthermore, riding is made more user-friendly with the addition of a return function, which returns to automatic mode under certain conditions after the rider overrides automatic mode and manually shifts gears in order to accelerate or decelerate while running in automatic mode.
Compared with high rpm large-displacement engines, gear change shock can be softened when low and middle rpm medium-displacement engines are coupled with a lightweight body.
In keeping with the engine development concept, we designed a dedicated clutch to reduce such shock and deliver, on a mid-class machine, a high-quality gear change feel on a par with that of VFR1200F.
Furthermore, by adopting a layout already applied to ATVs in which the primary driven gear is sandwiched between two clutches (sandwich structure), it was possible to make each component, including the main shaft, more compact and lightweight, and reduce the overall cost.

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) introduced a series of bills on the House Floor entitled "Free and Equal D.C." aimed at giving the same rights and privileges to the District of Columbia that all other states enjoy. Her goal is to ensure the city's independence form Congress, who has a strong hand in the administration of the area.
Starting with H.R. 265, the New Columbia Admission Act, Norton wishes to provide the citizens of D.C. the appropriate representation and full privileges of a state. The proposed 51st state, New Columbia, would exclude most Federal monuments as well as integral structures to the federal governement, such as the White House and Capitol Hill. The boundaries of this new state would follow a very specific path through the city, which is laid out in the text of the bill. The bill would also provide, after certification of results, that the Office of the Mayor would become the Office of the Governor, the City Council would become the House of Delegates, and the Chair of the City Council would become the Chair of the House of Delegates.
Statehood would entitle the citizens to equal representation, with two Senators and at least one Representative.
H.R. 266, the District of Columbia Equal Representation Act of 2011, if passed would bypass the issue of statehood and amend the appropriate laws and codes to allow the D.C. citizens the right to have two Senators and at least one Representative, with more Representatives forth coming after future dicennial census's if the counts allow it. It would also increase House membership from 435 to 436 seats.
The final bill of the series, H.R. 267, the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2011, would eliminate the Delegate position for the District of Columbia, and replacing it with a Representative, allowing the that member to participate fully in House procedures and votes, to which a Delegate currently can not.
Currently, none of these bills enjoy co-sponsors and there are no Congressional Budget Office (CBO) cost estimates.
H.R. 265 has been referred to both the Committee on Oversight and Governement Reform as well as the House Rules Committee.
H.R. 266 and 267 was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on the Judiciary.

Find a multiplicative inverse of $a=11$ modulo $m=13$.
What is this saying?
This seems like such a simple question, I just don't understand what it is asking for.
An additional question related to this I have is:
If $a$ has a multiplicative inverse modulo $m$, explain why $\gcd(a,m)=1$.
Is this also saying $ab \equiv 1 (mod \space m)$? Do $a$ and $m$ have to be prime since the $\gcd(a,m)=1$?
Thanks again.

College Hockey:Wheeler sparks Harvard rally past Northeastern in Beanpot
Bellamy comes up big in shootout
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Harvard defenseman Josephine Pucci skated straight toward the Northeastern goal as the fourth shooter of the shootout. Goaltender Leah Sulyma came out of the net to meet her. Pucci tucked the puck around Sulyma and buried it in the back of the net.
Northeastern's last shooter, defenseman Maggie DiMasi, sent a hard shot at goaltender Laura Bellamy, who went to her knees to block it. Bellamy immediately jumped into the air and rushed to celebrate advancing to the championship round of the 2011 Beanpot.
"I loved it," Bellamy said of the shootout. "When that buzzer to end overtime went off, I was excited. I felt like I owed my team something for the comeback they had."
The game had started out looking like Northeastern's. The Huskies largely dominated the first period, scoring twice on 12 shots. Center Rachel Llanes opened up the scoring 9:31 into the game with a power-play goal. She took the puck from defenseman Maggie DiMasi at the top of the right faceoff circle and sent it flying between goaltender Laura Bellamy's legs.
Just two minutes later, forward Casey Pickett increased the Huskies' lead to two. Claire Santostefano fed her the puck and Pickett charged the net, sending it into the goal past Bellamy's stick. The goal was Pickett's sixth of the season.
Harvard had a couple of scoring opportunities late in the period, but could not capitalize. With just a couple minutes left, Harvard found themselves in a two-on-one. Kaitlin Spurling took a shot from just off the right side of the net, but couldn't get it to go in, and the period ended with the Crimson down 2-0.
"Yes I was [worried]," said Harvard coach Katey Stone. "It was less about the score and more about our play and the efficiency with which we were trying to do things. We didn't execute our plays; we were trying to do too much offensively. When we've kept it simple, we've done really good."
Northeastern handed Harvard a couple more opportunities with two penalties in the opening minutes of the second period. Just 19 seconds in, forward Katie MacSorley was called for hooking. Two minutes later, DiMasi took the goal off the post after goaltender Leah Sulyma slid into the boards during play, resulting in a delay-of-game call. The Crimson, however, was unable to make anything happen and only managed a few shots.
Northeastern only had one shot on target, but made sure it counted. Forward Lori Antflick approached from behind the net and sent a shot into the opposite corner of the net. Harvard turned up the intensity after that. The Crimson sent 10 shots at the net in the period. Forward Kate Buesser broke the shutout with a goal from the corner of the left circle that sailed right over Sulyma's shoulder 12:21 into the period. Harvard continued to pepper the goal with shots, but could not connect on anything else.
"I think we were still down a little bit; it's tough to outshoot a team, but not get anything in the net," said forward Ashley Wheeler. "I think we realized that we could run all over this team, we could beat this team. We just kind of took that momentum and went with it into the third period."
Northeastern only had five shots on goal in the third period. The Huskies were unable to bring the puck into their offensive zone enough to create opportunities.
"I think in the second period, we took some penalties and gave them some momentum," said Northeastern coach Dave Flint. "That seemed to tire us out a little bit. And then we got running around in our own zone and they got some momentum going into the third period."
The third period featured even more shots for Harvard, 11 on goal, but it wasn't until the end of the frame that they were able to close the lead. With 4:14 remaining, Wheeler closed the deficit to one. She took the puck, maneuvering through traffic towards the goal, and shot it up over Sulyma's head.
Less than a minute later, defenseman Marissa Gedman tied the game up, taking it to overtime with a shot fired from out past the right circle.
"I think our team definitely is a third period team," said Ashley Wheeler. "We kind of gave coach a heart attack in the first two periods, but we had a similar game last Saturday. Our team never gives up; it's a big thing about Harvard hockey."
The Crimson kept fighting through the five-minute overtime period, keeping Northeastern from taking a shot, but was unable to score. Then came the shootout: a best-of-three contest that went to four shooters apiece.
Harvard's Jilliam Dempsey scored on the team's first shot with a move to the right and then a shot to the left. Northeastern's first two players were unable to score, but forward Alyssa Wohlfeiler sent one in to the top corner above Bellamy. That set up Pucci's winning shot.
This marks Harvard's fourth trip to the Beanpot Championship in as many years. The seniors wanted that distinction, and now have the chance to win their third title, having lost to Boston College, their opponent next week, two years ago.
"In the locker room after the second period, you just looked around and the seniors wanted it so bad," said Wheeler "Fourth year, fourth time so we'll see how we do."

It marked Baker's first playoff win in 20 years as the Wildcats improved to 11-1 with their ninth consecutive victory to set a school record for wins in a season.
Clark's game-winning kick capped a 10-play, 62-yard drive after the Wildcats gained possession on the BU 28-yard line with 2:02 remaining. The key play was junior running back Scott Meyer's 23-yard burst up the middle on third-and-10 from Sterling's 33-yard line. Meyer was tackled at the 10-yard line with three seconds left before Baker called timeout to set up Clark's kick.
Clark, named the game's offensive most valuable player, had missed field-goal attempts of 39, 44 and 31 yards before connecting on the game-winner. Entering the game, he ranked No. 1 in the NAIA in field goals with 1.5 per game and No. 2 in total field goals with 16.
Also a standout receiver, Clark caught three passes for 118 yards, including an 89-yard touchdown reception with 2:38 left in the first half. On first-and-10 from the BU 11-yard line, senior quarterback Jake Morse connected with a wide-open Clark down the left sideline before Clark pulled away from the Sterling defenders.
Morse completed 17 of 25 passes for 237 yards with the TD pass. Meyer had 21 carries for a game-high 97 yards. Camren Torneden finished with 20 carries and 75 yards.
Sterling senior defensive back Cedrique Smith intercepted two Morse passes and recorded 10 tackles to earn the game's defensive most valuable player honors. His interception at Sterling's nine-yard line with 10:59 left in the first half thwarted a Wildcat scoring threat deep in Warrior territory. Baker had gained possession at Sterling's seven-yard line after a Warrior fumble before turning the ball over three plays later.
Baker's defense dominated in the second half, shutting out the Warriors while allowing just 49 yards total offense on 32 plays for 1.5 yards per play. Sterling's lone score came on Antonio Bray's 68-yard run with 5:18 left in the first quarter.
Freshman defensive end Nick Becker recorded 10 tackles, including a sack, to anchor Baker's defense.
With the victory, the Wildcats advance to the NAIA Football Championship Series quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 30. Their opponent and site will be announced on Sunday.
Baker improved to 11-1 all-time against the Warriors in the first meeting between the two Kansas programs since 1970. Sterling, the champion of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, finished the season with a 9-3 record.

HARRISONBURG — A Senate committee has again defeated a bill that would give home-schooled students access to public school activities.
The Senate Health and Education Committee voted 9-6 against the measure this morning, with all nine Democrats coming out against it. The same panel defeated the bill the last two years after the House of Delegates approved it.
The legislation would prohibit school divisions from joining an organization that bans home-school students from competition. The Virginia High School League, the governing body for interscholastic activities in the state, does not grant home-schoolers permission to compete.
Del. Rob Bell, R-Albemarle, carried the bill. He represents the Elkton area of Rockingham County.
