Henry and Esther Whetstone are Florida natives and lifelong residents of northeast Florida. After they married, they longed to own and operate their own business. Operating from their kitchen each night, Henry and Esther first opened their small ice cream store on St. George Street in the historic business district of St. Augustine in 1966. They entered the chocolate market when they created a home-made fudge recipe, again in the family's small kitchen. The small kitchen was the original Whetstone Chocolate factory and the production crew was two hard working people. By word of mouth, the Whetstone Chocolate reputation grew rapidly and the demand for their chocolates increased even more so. By 1967, they were selling 13 different flavors of fudge along with an increasing assortment of hand-dipped chocolates. In the 1970s, they opened a chocolate production factory at 51 Cordova Street in St. Augustine. Their reputation spread beyond the confines of regional sales and Whetstone Chocolates opened more retail stores and began wholesaling their superior chocolates. When Virginia Whetstone, the daughter of Henry and Esther, graduated from Vanderbilt University she soon became President of Whetstone Chocolates. In 1984, a new 10,000 square foot factory was constructed on Highway 312, south of St. Augustine. In the early 1990's the Whetstone Chocolate factory became a major St. Augustine attraction as tourists and local residents alike sought to learn more about the unique Whetstone delicacies. Daily tours, conducted at first by Virginia and later by her staff, became commonplace for tourists as well as many local families. Having evolved from mass production chocolates, Virginia's vision now transcends two horizons. First, is to educate consumers on chocolate, its growth, harvesting and production. Second, is to educate the consumers' palates to the delicate and flavorful varieties of chocolate. As such, Virginia now focuses on adding unique and exciting artisan chocolates.

Definition of house finch in English:
house finch
A red-breasted brown finch, now common from Canada to Mexico and sometimes regarded as a pest.
- Carpodacus mexicanus, family Fringillidae.
Example sentences
- The clotheslines are adjacent to our vegetable and flower gardens (not to mention attendant weeds!) which I noticed were alive with catbirds, song sparrows, robins, a purple finch, house finches and goldfinches.
- The whole backyard gang composed of those mentioned above, plus house finches, chickadees, goldfinches, titmice, grackles, redwings, and blue jays start around 5 pm with their bedtime snacks.
- By the way, I've been called to task for not mentioning that safflower seed is very popular with cardinals, chickadees, blue jays, doves, house finches, wrens, titmice and even bluebirds.

Diary Entry or Short Story
Life was full of adventure, danger, routine and hardship growing up in the Ozarks in the 1930's. You expressed your daily excitements, frustrations and reflections about your day in a diary. Occasionally you would even write about your experience in the form of a short story. You were never short of ideas, for your life was full of fishing, hunting, traveling along the creek beds, and the drudgery of your daily chores.
One day when your great-grandchildren were fighting over what channel to watch on TV, you decided to share one of your journal entries. The children objected at first, but before too long they listened carefully, for your diary told of a time and place that was foreign to them. In addition, they were attentive, for the entry you read described in detail what all of your senses experienced. Your great-grandchildren begged for more and after a while you routinely read your diary entries and short stories of long ago to them. This experience caused you to reflect back on your past and you decide to write another diary entry or short story from your memories of long ago. Like past writing, you write in a vivid manner so anyone who reads the writing will feel as if they have been transported into Ozark life in the 1930s.

Volvo 850 ProblemsCorroded rotors may cause vibration from rear of vehicle when braking
Vibration from the rear of the car when braking can be caused by corroded rotors, especially when braking going down hill. The rotors will need to be replaced and special shims installed from Volvo to prevent this from happening again.
It's quite common for the the fuel pump to fail, causing a no start condition. The engine will crank over but it will not start.
To verify this the fuel pressure and electrical power to the fuel pump should be checked. If the pump is getting power and there's no pressure, replace the pump. If it isn't getting power, check the fuel pump relay circuit.
The turbocharger return pipe seal may develop an oil leak. The leak can begin very small, but will eventually progress into a large leak. Our technicians recommend having this repaired at first signs of leakage.

Nickname: Purple Eagles (5-4)
Coach: Tony Osburn, second season
Outlook: Senior OL/DL Scott Knaak is a three-year starter on the line. Senior QB Kaleb Reynolds won all three of his starts last year. The Purple Eagles will take advantage of the 4.6 speed of RB/LB Seth Narburgh (65 tackles last year). OL/DL Kevin Howard is another experienced lineman and WR/CB Devin Erdle is a threat on both sides of the ball. Albion's JV was 8-0-1.

Coach: Steve Griffin, 11th season
Outlook: The Flyers look to utilize Bilal Clay's 4.45 speed at RB/LB. Jake Krier returns at center and LB. OG/DT Jared Brock (6-3, 275) gives the Flyers some size on the line. The line has size, but a lot of new faces. The fleet Blair Estarfaa takes over at QB. Look for Springville transfer Shawn Barr to have a big year at FB. Shane Mullen moves from WR to RB. G/NG Sean Hamilton is an inspiring story after his offseason weight loss.

Nickname: Panthers (1-8)
Coach: Alex Haney, second season
Outlook: WR/S Randy Richau has all the tools on his 6-1 frame. Jake Summers brings his athleticism to the T/NG/DT positions. Two capable QBs are last year's starter Colin Ferington and last year's JV starter Sean Seefeldt. The O-line returns Summers, Keenan Buzyniski and Chris Demmin. Back in the backfield are Jesse Willians and Aaron Pringle.

Coach: Rob Gross, first season
Outlook: Gross has been impressed by the senior leadership he has seen so far. "They have led by example with weight room attendance and coming to the summer sessions," said Gross, a 1989 Tonawanda graduate who had a stint as the head coach at Amherst. The Warriors look to rebuild with senior QB Steve Stich, LB Adam Hankinson, and OL/DL Tom DePsquale.

Here's a list of the current set of new gems in 1.0.0. We have a lot more planned for follow-up content patches (roughly one every two weeks).
New Skills:
- Spectral Throw
- Animate Weapon
- Animate Guardian
Offensive Trigger Support Gems:
- Curse On Hit (for spells and attacks)
- Cast On Crit (attacks only)
- Cast on Melee Kill
Defensive Trigger Support Gems:
- Cast on Death
- Cast when Damage Taken
- Cast when Stunned
Reverse Effect Support Gems:
- Slower Projectiles
- Reduced Duration
The Anarchy and Onslaught leagues end in just less than two days. We've previously posted information about what happens when they end here. We'll be deploying a patch just after that time which will adjust some drop rates, rebalance Rogue Exiles, and other follow-on effects from the leagues ending.
The new leagues (starting on October 23) are Domination and Nemesis. They also have challenges, just like the Anarchy and Onslaught leagues. They also have some of their own new base types and Unique items.
- Domination: A variety of powerful Shrines now spawn throughout Wraeclast, surrounded by large groups of monsters that are influenced by their power. These monsters receive substantial bonuses or are protected by their shrine's effects in some way. If you are able to tag the shrine, you receive these powers for a short time. It's often very risky to run in and try to claim the shrine, but it is a gamble that can pay off. One of the new challenges is to tag each of the shrine types.
- Nemesis: Rare monsters have one guaranteed mod from the Nemesis Pool, which makes the fight susbtantially harder. One of the challenges is to kill a rare with each of the Nemesis mods.
The fan meetup in San Francisco on Saturday went really well! We had over 30 people attend and were able to discuss a lot of 1.0.0 changes with them. Here are two photos from the bar that we went to and a picture of Jonathan, Erik and me in the park.

"My theory is fuck it / Sexy niggas get abducted"
-Fredro Starr from Onyx's "Last Dayz"
COMPLEX SAYS: Our theory is that this line could have used a rewrite. And change Sticky Fingaz's name while you're at it.
"You might got more cash than me / But you ain't got the skills to eat a nigga's ass like me."
-Canibus "2nd Round Knock Out"
COMPLEX SAYS: So that's why Canibus always looks like he has a bad taste in his mouth.
Guru on Gang Starr's "Now You're Mine" (see below for lyrics)
COMPLEX SAYS: Aspiring MCs, consider this the pause blueprint, the Moby Dick of unintentionally gay lyrics. Through the cumulative effect of line after homoerotic line, Guru has crafted the #1 most pause-worthy tour de force in the history of rhymes and beats. Below we've printed the song's full lyrics with annotations of Guru's unplanned double entendres...
"Yo Duke, you're dead wrong; you'll never have the skills like mine
I write the ill type rhymes now I'm reaching my prime
360 dunk in your face*
You can't compete, you're just a basket case
Let's separate the men from the boys*
And put your money where your mouth is*, no time for toys*
Your game is weak you geek so don't sleep
Cause I'll be checkin ya, wreckin ya*, when I start to creep
through the backdoor* - I know I caught you out there*
You got no clout here, and I doubt there
Is anyway that you can stop the beat down
You better play the background*, and sit back down
Chumps like you, I gotta keep 'em in line
So prepare to suffer boy*, cause now you're mine*
I'll fake you left and go right, straight down the lane*
Here's one in your eye*; you'll feel pain*
You strain* - to put together some strategy
But you're raggedy, and i'll be glad to see
The frown on your grill when I drill and thrill**
Set up my offense, commence to kill
I'll be leadin from beginnin to end
And after I pound ya, you're gonna wanna make friends*
And make amends for the silly, trash you were talking
Take a walk and your shots I'm swattin*
with ease, and the ladies are swoonin
Clockin my swiftness, while you're droolin*
You oughtta practice up and get your game refined
I've been waitin to dog you*, and now you're mine*
Hurry up sucker, go ahead and pick your squad
Try to play hard*... but I'ma rob
You of your crazy notions to defeat me
You're weak see, I'm rough hardcore*
And even be down to give you a rematch*
After I wax and tax that butt**
When I slam the alley-oop, you can rally troops
But I'll play the awesome defense
I'll pick your pocket*, and send you to the bench
With tears in your eyes as you realize the prize is for me*
Yes all the money
Son, my form is too nice*, my handle's precise*
I'll take you right or go left
Because my game's so def, and now you're mine*"
-Guru from Gang Starr's "Now You're Mine"

Her lips' remark was: "Oh, you kid!"
Her soul spoke thus (I know it did):
"O king of realms of endless joy,
My own, my golden grocer's boy,
I am a princess forced to dwell
Within a lonely kitchen cell,
While you go dashing through the land
With loveliness on every hand.
Your whistle strikes my eager ears
Like music of the choiring spheres.
The mighty earth grows faint and reels
Beneath your thundering wagon wheels.
How keenly, perilously sweet
To cling upon that swaying seat!
How happy she who by your side
May share the splendors of that ride!
Ah, if you will not take my hand
And bear me off across the land,
Then, traveller from Arcady,
Remain awhile and comfort me.
What other maiden can you find
So young and delicate and kind?"
Her lips' remark was: "Oh, you kid!"
Her soul spoke thus (I know it did).

1 December 2006, new rules of civil procedure take effect in the US court system. The product of nearly 10 years' effort, the core purpose of these rules is that if digital information is to be used as evidence with legal value, a set of procedures must govern the examination and use of that evidence. All you security people, archivists, and system administrators, pay attention: the quiz will take place under oath.

Steve Mears presents you all the details on today's news in a nice video package.
Coachspeak with Dan Bylsma…
On the Florida Panthers:
They played last night in Philly and didn't fare very well, but they are first in the Southeast (Division) and in the third seed right now. They're also two points ahead of Washington and Winnipeg, who are right behind them in that race. So while they're fighting for first, they're also fighting to remain in the playoff race in the Southeast. They're led by Stephen Weiss and (Tomas) Fleischmann. Both are playing together and having outstanding years with 47 points apiece. Their defensemen are a big factor for them as well with (Brian) Campbell. I believe he has 44 points. Every time I watch him on tape and in the game, he is a factor with how he skates and how he moves the puck up ice where he is in the offensive zone. His partner (Jason) Garrison has 14 goals. He's a big factor from the blue line as well.
On if catching the Rangers is realistic and if it's a goal:
I think we know how hard it is to move. It's six points right now, but it's been 10 points. It's hard to move six points, let alone 10 points. I think we understand that. When we were 10 points behind, we knew we would play them three more times and we knew the only chance we'd have is to win all six points and not give them any points in those games. You do that, you get to four points and it's relatively reasonable that you can maybe close the four-point gap. We're at six points right now, if we can win we'd get to four. They'd have a game in hand and we have two games left against them. We still have our eyes set on them. We know right where they're at. We know how difficult it's going to be. We know we have to win our two games against them for it to be a possibility.
On what will happen if Martin can't play and Despres takes his spot:
Simon Despres will be used on the second power-play unit. We would leave the pairs the same, inserting Despres for Martin with (Matt) Niskanen on his strong side. (Brian) Strait and (Ben) Lovejoy have played two strong games together, last game in particular they were very strong together. Certainly there may be some movement in the game, but Simon is a guy who played upwards of 17-20 minutes when he was playing with us here before. Keeping Niskanen on his strong side, I think together they'd be a good pair. So we'd keep the shutdown pair of (Brooks) Orpik and (Zbynek) Michalek together, and it would probably be a little bit more even minutes with the last four guys and what they would receive. That's where Simon would go.
On his club being a third-period team:
One of the ways we want to play is we want to grind teams down. We want to wear teams down. You can do that physically; you can do that with the speed of the game. When we play that way, our success in the third period goes way up. Evidence of that was last game (against Toronto). We played a good first period; we played in the offensive zone an awful lot. We didn't get a result. We got down in the game on a 4-on-4 goal. Right after a penalty kill they get a second goal, but I think our team at the halfway point had really still played pretty well in the offensive zone. They continued to do that going into the third. As a result – playing a team that had played the previous night and who was down to five defensemen – we felt like we took advantage of that situation with the pace and the tempo of the game. That's something we're looking to do. When we've been able to do that, we have had success in the third periods as a result of that type of play from our team.
On his team raising their level of play when playing teams fighting for a playoff spot:
At times, I think we've played teams that have really played hard and it's been playoff-type games with the intensity level. Even with some teams that we don't play very often in Dallas and Colorado, those were intense games as a result of the race that we're all in. But the other teams have been in and they're looking for points. They're trying to make the playoffs. We've been ready for those types of games. We know we're playing those teams in those situations. We still feel like we've got something to prove here. We think we can catch the Rangers. We're still playing with that type of mentality as well. I think other teams have forced the games up to a different level and I think our team has responded well to that. I think we've thrived in that. We've been playing pretty good hockey now for 24-25 games where we've been in that type of mode and big games and against teams that are playing big games. That's what you're looking for as you come down the stretch here and head towards playoffs.
--Michelle Crechiolo
Eleven Panthers were on the ice for the team's morning skate, a pretty big number considering they played last night in Philadelphia.
The Pens are six points behind the NY Rangers for the top spot in the Atlantic Division/Eastern Conference. That's a lot of ground to make up with only 16 games left in the season. However, the teams will meet two more times and Pittsburgh still has a chance to capture the throne.
Sounds heard around the locker room...
James Neal
On the Penguins' performance:
For us we're on a good little winning streak. We've got a good little roll going so it's a great home stand for us. We need to keep this ball rolling and keep doing the right things.
On looking ahead to catching teams like Boston or the Rangers:
No, you start peeking around teams and that's when you scare yourself. Take one game at a hand and that's tonight, we're focused on the Panthers.
On the Ranger's six-point lead:
We see that. Every game is critical for us. Like I said, we are focused on tonight's game. That's the Panthers so we've got to keep things going and we have a good start at home. It's a great home stand for us and it's some good games.
Matt Cooke
On if Sidney Crosby coming back is a distraction:
No, it's not a distraction because it doesn't change the way we play. He's adding skill to our lineup. He's our captain. You can't even amount to what he's adding when he is playing. But for the most part, we don't change the way we are playing. I think that's the biggest strength of our team. It's enabled us to get through with injuries to Sid, (Kris Letang) and a few others.
On the penalty kill:
I think the core guys have been together for the better half of 3-4 years. We're all on the same page. We understand what we are trying to accomplish out there. When one guy pressures, we are all going to pressure and support that.
On bumping Sidney Crosby:
I don't know how much he really wanted it. We're just joking around. It's nice to have him out there and see him smiling and see him enjoy himself. There was no purpose to it today. It's just more giving him a hard time and making him smile a little.
On what Sidney Crosby's presence does to the team:
I think that it's exciting. It's an amazing time for us to be able to have our captain back. That's important at this time of year.
Pascal Dupuis
On the Panthers' turnaround:
They made some great acquisitions, obviously. Their GM (Dale Tallon) knows what it takes to win. He was in Chicago before and he brought some guys that he knew from there, some guys with character. Right now it seems to be working out.
On the Penguins' success against the Panthers:
We keep beating them even though we know they have a bunch of guys that are working hard night after night right now. They have the defenseman in (Brian) Campbell and (Jason) Garrison that can really skate well with the puck in the neutral zone and attack us. I think the way we are going to have to defend well tonight and bring some pucks on net on their goalie.Hopefully we'll bang a couple in.
Zbynek Michalek
On if he's surprised by the Panthers' turnaround:
Not really. They made some changes in the offseason. They picked up some good players and it's not really the same team like it was last season or the season before. They are having a good year. They still have a shot at the playoffs. They are leading the division right now during the tough playoff race. They are playing well. They're right there in the mix, so I'm sure they are going to come hard after last night's game. We have to make sure we are ready to play.
On the Penguins' success against the Panthers:
From what I remember this season they are a hardworking team. They are a fast team. Their D jump in the play all the time and they are definitely a toughteam to play against. We are going to have to be at our best to come out with the win and make sure we come out with a good effort even though they played last night. They are going to be a desperate team so we have to make sure we are ready to play.
On how a winning streak provides a cushion for the playoffs:
It's big. You see how tight the standings are and if you win a few games in a row, you create that gap and feel a little better about your game – especially this late in the season. It's a great feeling for us and I think we are heading in the right direction. We still have 16 or 17 games left so we can make sure we keep improving and keep building the confidence.

Pens captain Sidney Crosby spoke with the media following Friday's morning skate. He said that he feels good and hasn't had any setbacks. He's still symptom-free, but hasn't gotten the contact he'd like due to the team's schedule. Crosby added that playing Sunday is no more or less a possibility, essentially there has been no status change.
Here is everything that the captain had to say...
On how things are progressing:
Pretty good. We haven't practiced a lot, have had a couple morning skates and was on with two guys (Thursday). So it's been good, got a little bit of contact in. But just the way the schedule has worked out, I haven't really tested things as best as I'd like. The good thing is that even after the minimal bumping I've kind of done, it's been good.
On if Sunday is a possibility:
Not any more than it was before. It's just one of those things where you're trying to go through and make sure you test yourself. I'm going to try and do my best to do that. I did it today. We'll see (Saturday) and kind of go from there.
On when he assesses how he feels:
Usually just the day after (when) I come in. You just kind of see how the day goes. Everything has been good, but like I said, I don't think I've really tested it a ton. That will be something we talk about and figure out and see what makes sense. Before all those conversations, you've got to make sure you get through it, No. 1. That's the most important thing.
On if being hit by Eric Tangradi on Thursday helped:
Yeah. At the same time, though, you're not ever going to be able to simulate a game, anyway, no matter how much you practice. You have to make sure you're as tested as you can be and make sure that there's no need in rushing anything, too. Make sure you're ready. I only want to go through this one more time.
On if he's had any minimal setbacks over the last few days:
No. It's been good. No setbacks, which is definitely a good thing.
On why he thinks he could make a faster return after being cleared for contact this time versus the last time:
Last time was more to do with symptoms. I've been symptom-free. I think that the last few days have been good being symptom-free. It's more the amount of contact or the extent of it, not the duration. Maybe I was doing contact a little bit longer, but it wasn't really as intense as what I'm trying to look for at this point. I guess that would be the difference. I don't remember that far back, exactly who got me with a shoulder and where they got me. You would know more than I do.
On if his conditioning will factor into the process of making a return:
Conditioning, no. It's as good as it's going to get as far as practice is concerned. That's only going to get better with games. It's not going to get any better at this point.
On how frustrated he is with practicing for so long and not playing in games:
It's better than not skating at all. It's tough, but at the same time, to know you're getting closer is obviously a positive thing. It definitely has its points where it's long and it gets tiring doing the type of conditioning stuff that you do. It doesn't really feel like hockey sometimes. You think about playing on a team and competing and plays and different things like that, and it feels more like an individual sport sometimes when you're just out there doing the drills and conditioning and stuff like that. So I think I miss the team aspect and hopefully I'm much closer.

Pens' lines from their morning skate...
The five defensemen rotated.
Crosby, Jeffrey and Tangradi did not skate in line rushes.
The Pens announced that they've recalled D-man Simon Despres from WBS...
Despres, 20, has played in 14 NHL games this season for Pittsburgh, tallying four points (1G-3A) and a plus-4 rating while averaging 14:33 minutes per game.
The 6-foot-4, 229-pound native of Laval, Quebec has also appeared in 31 games this season for WBS, scoring four goals, five assists and nine points. Despres was voted as a starter for the AHL All-Star Classic in Atlantic City, N.J. in January, but he had to miss the game due to injury.

Some good news on the injury front as defensemen Kris Letang and Deryk Engelland both skated this morning with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar.
Letang has been out of the lineup since suffering from symptoms following a hit by Eric Nystrom Feb. 29 at Dallas. Engelland has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury and is listed as day-to-day.

Since it's Friday, we'll take a look inside the Pens Vault. Since the Pens unveiled the Mario Lemieux statue Wednesday, we'll take a look at a Lemieux highlight reel.
On this week's Radio Rewind, Bob Grove and Phil Bourque talk about Eric Tangradi's development.
The Panthers are playing back-to-back Pennsylvania games with the Flyers Thursday night and the Pens tonight. Florida was shut out, 5-0, by Philadelphia on Thursday and are hoping to bounce back tonight against Pittsburgh. Michelle Crechiolo has more on what to watch for in tonight's game.
Good morning from CONSOL Energy Center! The Pens will hit the ice at 10:30 a.m. for a morning skate. Tonight they'll take on the surprising Florida Panthers at 7 p.m. The Cats are contending for the Southeast Division crown. Florida is currently in first place, but is clinging to a two-point lead as Washington and Winnipeg are breathing on its neck.
Today we'll open the day with a band that I just found out about on Monday (props to Penguins Live intern Arielle, who is from Florida, for the suggestion). They're called MuteMath. I don't know anything really about them, but their song "Typical" is pretty awesome.
The video is even more awesome as it's filmed backwards with a lot of action. In fact, the video was nominated for a Grammy. Unfortunately, the embed was disabled, so you'll have to click here to see it. But you can hear the song below.

Welcome from the Department Chair
Welcome to the Department of Economics and Finance. You will find details about our degree programs in economics and finance along with information about our faculty. We strive to recruit top students and prepare them for continuing education or successful careers in the business world.
An undergraduate economics degree is excellent preparation for pursuing a career in private, public or not-for-profit sectors of our economy. It is also a perfect way to prepare for graduate studies or professional programs like law school or an MBA program. In fact, economics majors achieve the highest scores on the LSAT exam that law schools use to screen applicants, and are among the top three majors who score the highest on the GMAT exam used by MBA programs.
Our finance degree has two excellent opportunities to help you prepare for the workforce. First is our Mast Student Investment Roundtable that allows students the opportunity to invest over $400,000 of actual money from the university and alumni endowments. Second, students may take courses that are certified by the Certified Financial Planning Board so that they are eligible to sit for the CFP exam upon graduation.

Professor Marlene Alt teaches Sculpture at Southern Oregon University. Before coming to SOU she taught at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in such venues as the San Jose Museum of Art, the Nevada Museum of Art, the Portland Art Museum, the Yellowstone Art Museum, Northern Arizona University Museum, the North Dakota Museum of Art, the American Embassy, Togo, West Africa, the Portland Building, the Ohio University Art Gallery, Athens, Artemisia Gallery, Chicago, and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts, Grand Rapids. Alt has been the recipient of an Oregon Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship and was chosen to exhibit her work in the Oregon Biennial. An article showcasing her work has been published in Sculpture magazine. Professor Alt has also received invitations to make new work and to give lectures about her work at artist residencies in national and international venues such as the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT, Sculpture Space, Utica, NY, the University of Texas, San Antonio, the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and the Bubec Sculpture Studio, Prague, Czech Republic.
Alt's work is informed by an interest in the psychological landscape, focusing on landscape as place, as body, as memory, and as object. Her work explores the essence of landscape, pushing beyond representation toward the interface of nature and culture.
Her teaching philosophy provides an autonomous environment for student development through exposure to both traditional and non-traditional modes of art making. Sculptural formats are varied and include the object, installation, site-specific and time-based work.

Mats Zuccarello scored the only goal of the shootout and the Rangers escaped Carolina with a 3-2 victory over the Hurricanes Saturday night at PNC Arena to complete a five-game sweep of the teams' season series.
Zuccarello scored in the second round of the shootout, using his long stick to tuck the puck around 'Canes netminder Anton Khudobin after a nifty fake. Cam Talbot, who made 28 saves through 65 minutes of hockey, sealed the victory with a pad save on Jeff Skinner in Round Three of the shootout.
The Rangers started slowly Saturday night, surrendering a goal just 121 seconds into the game, rebounded with a strong second period, but then found themselves under siege in the third period when Carolina erased a one-goal deficit and tied the game, forcing overtime.
With Carl Hagelin in the penalty box--and shortly after Rick Nash just missed scoring on a shorthanded breakaway--Carolina's Ryan Murphy blasted a power play slap shot through traffic and past Talbot at 14:27 to tie the score at 2-2.
The Rangers managed to get the game to overtime despite being outshot 17-6 in the third period. Talbot was sensational, making 16 saves including a handful of absolute gems. He made a clutch against-the-grain blocker save to deny Nathan Gerbe's tricky backhander at the seven-minute mark, then robbed Eric Staal point blank at 10:17. A minute later Talbot stretched out to make a sharp pad stop on a puck which deflected off the skate of Rangers defenseman Marc Staal in front.
Talbot rebounded nicely after surrendering the game-opening goal just 2:01 into play when an Elias Lindholm right-wing shot somehow snuck through his pads. Not only did Carolina have the first-period lead, it had all of the momentum as the Rangers did not even manage their first shot on goal until nearly nine minutes of play had elapsed.
New York started to find its game late in the first period, and then controlled play in the second period, taking a 2-1 lead while outshooting the 'Canes 14-5 in the middle twenty. J.T. Miller tied the game with his eighth goal of the season--and second in the past four games--at 3:39 and Jesper Fast gave the Rangers their first lead at 12:59 with his fourth of the season.
Prior to the game head coach Alain Vigneault stated how he had long wondered how Miller would fit in on a line with Derick Brassard and Zuccarello--even comparing Miller's game to that of Benoit Pouliot who excelled with that line combination a year ago. Miler responded with the goal and a strong all-around game in which he logged 16 minutes 9 seconds worth of ice-time.
Miller beat Khudobin from in front after Brassard won an offensive-zone face off and Zuccarello proceeded to make a quick pass down low as Miller cut to the net.
The Rangers took a 2-1 lead when Fast scored off a spinning left-wing shot which flew over the glove of the Carolina netminder. The play started with Hagelin chipping a pass to Kevin Hayes, who skated the puck over the blue line before making a pinpoint pass to Fast.
That line combination may have been the Rangers best Saturday night. They generated several prime scoring chances and teamed for seven of New York's 29 shots on goal. Hayes and Fast were both robbed on a quick one-two punch from the slot with 6:10 to play in the first period, and then 3:30 into the second Hayes found Hagelin behind the defense with a soft pass, but Khudobin made a big-time pad save and Fast chipped the rebound just wide of the cage.
No rest for the weary, the Rangers--who started a six-games-in-nine-nights stretch Saturday--return home to face the Anaheim Ducks Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.

The buzz is that Devi Sri Prasad, will be composing music for a Kamal Hassan film and that too for the first time. Remember when Kamal wanted somebody to compose the background score of Dasavatharam, Devi Sri Prasad volunteered to do it.
Manush Nandan, son of journalist and one of Kamal's inner circle friends Gnani is likely to debut as cameraman. It is mentionable that Manush has assisted famous cinematographer Ravi K Chandran during the making of SRK's My Name Is Khan. The film has titled earlier as Yaavarum Kaelir.

Here's a revealing quote from a Flash evangelist about exactly who benefits from Flash. Hint: it's not the users.
Companies will not stop using Flash because it is extremely profitable, especially in the advertising space.
I'm glad someone finally admitted it. Flash is not primarily about users — it's been about giving companies commercial opportunities they never had with the Web, i.e., better ways to grab the user's attention. (And by that I mean ads. For every good game that uses Flash, there are probably 50 distracting ads that use it.) In fact, Flash is positively user-hostile and un-weblike in giving users control over the browsing experience: crashes, general slowness, nightmarish security, super-cookies that can't be easily managed via a browser's privacy controls, … the list goes on.
On the other hand, John Nack points out that Flash made video ubiquitous on the web. They do deserve a hat-tip for that, but now that Youtube, Vimeo, BBC and several other sites have standardized around H.264, the de facto future of web video appears to be H.264 (despite some very well-reasoned arguments against from Mozilla). All it'd take is for a H.264 licensor (Google, say) to distribute a lightweight binary plugin for H.264 support for browsers like Mozilla and pre-Win7 IE, which don't support H.264. Bingo, you no longer require Flash to play video on modern sites.
Of course, Flash is far more than just video. It's very capable and Nack is correct when he says the Web moves far more slowly than the Flash team. But browser capabilities are going up not down — which means justifying using Flash will become more, not less, difficult over time. Ultimately, what I wrote 6 years ago (in a slightly different context) remains true:
Upgrading the browser results in a far superior user experience than hacking together kludges adding layers on the server that execute on the client via plugins.

Housing research to reveal impact of welfare benefit changes
Published by Roisin Rowley-Smith for Riverside in Communities and also in Central Government, Health, Housing
Social landlord, Riverside is carrying out research to investigate the impact of the changes in welfare benefits on its tenants.
The research project – Challenging Times, Changing Lives – is following 20 families, single people and couples over the next three years to assess financial and economic changes.
Riverside researchers are carrying out in depth interviews every six months as part of a longitudinal study, to gain a more detailed understanding of the impact of welfare reform and wider economic impact on Riverside households. The study will also inform the support structures the social landlord puts in place to offset the impact of welfare benefit changes.
Households are based in Wirral, Southwark, Lambeth, Lewisham and Carlisle, with a mix of people in work, on benefits, retired and with health issues. The results of the first set of interviews, carried out over the summer will set a benchmark against which to monitor future changes.
The key findings include:
- Immediate causes of unemployment are redundancy, health problems and caring responsibilities
- Just under half the participants are repaying debts on unsecured credit or arrears in rent, council tax or utility bills
- Budgeting techniques include turning off or reducing heat consumption rather than searching for lower tariffs
- The majority of households are living with long-term physical or mental health problems and feel increasing isolation and loneliness.
Hugh Owen, director of policy and communication at Riverside, said: "The results of the first interviews have revealed some interesting themes, which defy the notion that people living in social housing are irresponsible benefit scroungers. People are doing their best to keep their heads above water in very difficult times."
Riverside actively campaigned against the introduction of the bedroom tax, which penalises those on benefits who are deemed to have a spare bedroom. It has employed money advisors to support people with financial difficulties, as well as those who will feel the impact of cuts to their benefit when the bedroom tax is introduced in April.
Gill Payne, director of campaigns and neighbourhoods for the National Housing Federation, said: "Up to one million people across the country could struggle with their rent and end up in debt due to the Government's welfare shakeup. These are the biggest changes to benefits in a generation and they will impact on people who are working hard to make ends meet in tough financial times. More than 10,000 extra working people every month need housing benefit to help pay their rent.
"The long-term research by Riverside on the impact on individual families, couples and single people will be an invaluable way of tracking the financial, economic and human costs of these changes."
Hugh Owen added: "This research should support the housing sector's opposition to introducing any more stringent cut backs that affect the very poorest in society."

Facebook users may soon see a new advertising trend arriving in their sidebars. The social networking site has introduced a new system of "partner categories" which advertisers can choose from to target more specific markets.
The categories are made up of more than 500 groups, allowing prospective advertisers to choose exactly who they want to reach out to. One example provided in a press release depicted groups as specific as "people who buy children's cereals".
These groups have arrived on Facebook as the result of a partnership with companies Datalogix, Epsilon, and Axciom. These companies will be providing data for Facebook to use in an effort to smarten up advertising results. Of course, this means that Facebook ads will now be based on user browsing habits on the rest of the Internet.
As you may know, Facebook's original method of advertising was concocted from information based on usage within the site itself. This expansion into the whole of the Web is a giant leap for the networking service.
While Facebook itself will not be watching you as you traverse the Internet, its associates definitely will. Because of this, user responses are expected to be rather lukewarm. Logically, the site must utilize ads as a method of bringing in revenue, and as with any business, the system must be improved upon. However, many Facebook users tend to worry enough about their privacy, and this move is not going to make their concerns any less.
Do you believe this is a good move on Facebook's part? Are you more likely to welcome ads that target you specifically? Or would you prefer Facebook to not use data from outside sources?

3a. Cut your ¾"× 3" lumber to the following lengths: 15" ( 1), 3½" ( 2), and 12" ( 2).
3b. Clamp a 3½" length to the 15" length as shown. Pre-drill 2 holes with the
r" bit and then screw in the 1½" screws using a drill/driver. A bit of wood
glue would be good too, if available. Repeat with the other 3½" length on
the other side.
3c. Mark a 3½" piece 1" from the
bottom, mark a 12" piece 2" from the
top, line them up, and sandwich them
together using a C-clamp. Drill a ¼"
hole through both pieces, then slip a
¼" hex bolt through, with washers on
both sides and a wing nut on the
outside. Repeat on the other side.
3d. The 24"× 24" piece of plywood will
provide a sturdy base for the launch
tower. Measure and mark a line down
the center of the plywood, 12" in from
either side. On your centerline, measure and mark 4½" in from both ends.
Place the legs of the launch tower with
their edges on the inside of the marks,
then trace a line around each leg. Drill
two r" holes in each traced area.
3e. Turn the whole thing upside down,
line up the launch tower on the marks,
and then finish drilling pilot holes into
the launch tower legs, through the
existing holes in the plywood. Screw
into place.
3f. Once your base is secure, attach
the pressure chamber/launch system
to the horizontal board using the
2 large hose clamps. Your launch
tower is complete.

This exhibition has been produced in association with the Pierre Bergé–Yves Saint Laurent Foundation, under the patronage of Madame Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
The exhibition
"My primary concern has always been respect for my craft, which is not exactly an art, but which depends on an artist for its existence."
This exhibition presents a sweeping panorama of Yves Saint Laurent's forty years of creativity. It is organised thematically, offering a selection of 307 haute couture and ready-towear garments, together with photographs, drawings and films.
The presentation of the creations is meticulously staged, from Saint Laurent's beginnings with Dior in 1958 – the famous "Trapeze" collection – to the splendour of his evening dresses.
The development of the Saint Laurent style and the fundamentals of his oeuvre are presented in a historical context illustrated with photographs and films.
The sheer richness of his artistic and cultural sources of inspiration is revealed in spectacular tableaux : the first couturier to have opted for true streetwear, Saint Laurent also dressed the most sublime of women.
The exhibition closes with an apotheosis of colours and garments revealing the present-day relevance of the Saint Laurent oeuvre.

New News That There Is No New News With Mike Wallace
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported today that there was no news to report on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace, who continues to refuse to sign his restricted free agent tender until he has to. Schefter said Tuesday on NFL Livethat it "may be awhile" before the Steelers see Wallace at the team facility, and that Wallace won't sign the tender "until he absolutely has to."
If you are shocked by any of this then you likely missed my post last week in which I stated that you likely will not see Wallace taking part in any of the OTA or mini-camp sessions this summer as he continues Read more [...]

When local resident and history lover Jann Adams was tasked with helping a family research its Marietta roots for an upcoming reunion in the area, she wanted to do more than jot down some important names and dates to give them.
The Rampp family's settlement in Marietta in the late 1800s was a classic German success story, and Adams wanted to lift that story from the pages and present their ancestors with something tangible when they congregated in Marietta Aug. 9 for a family reunion.
"The more I researched, the more I started thinking about how I was going to present it. It evolved step by step," said Adams.

Brian Rampp, of Germany, and Helen Morris, of Calhoun County, W.Va., visit the grave site of their ancestor Joseph Rampp. Joseph, with wife Seraphina and son John, was the original immigrant that brought the Rampp family to Marietta in the late 1800s.
The result was a full-blown personalized historical tour of the area, complete with a trolley ride showing Rampp descendants where their ancestors had lived, worked, shopped, socialized and more.
The tour was very well-received by the approximately 20 Rampps who came to Marietta for the reunion, said Helen Morris, a Rampp descendant who helped organize the event.
"We got to see the place of business, schools, homes, things that pertained to our family. Jann also covered what Marietta might have been like at the time and what impact our family might have had here," said Morris, 84, of Calhoun County.

Marietta Family Heritage Tours
- Local resident and historian Jann Adams planned a personalized family history tour for recent Rampp family reunions.
- The tour took Rampp family members on a tour of Marietta that focused on their ancestors' homes, places of business and burial sites.
- Adams plans on making the tours a permanent offering in Marietta.

A favorite stop of Adams' was 741 Glendale Road, where the house still stands that was built by the original immigrant Joseph Rampp around the turn of the century.
The Rampp family history was a fun research project for Adams because it's the perfect example of a German immigrant success story, said Adams.
Many in the family had traditional German occupations, like shoemaker and baker. Martin Rampp, the grandson of original immigrants Joseph and Seraphina, was the founder of the Rampp Company, a well equipment company which still exists in Marietta today.
The Rampps' German roots were evident at the reunion. Brian Rampp and his two sons traveled all the way from Germany to attend the reunion, said Morris.
"They enjoyed it. They made new friends, and I think they got a sense of family," said Morris of her German relatives.
The tour was so well-received that Adams is hoping to turn it into a local business.
Adams plans on calling the business "Marietta Family Heritage Tours." Much like she did for the Rampp family, the tours would begin with Adams delving into the research and then presenting her findings in a fun, interactive way that ties history, genealogy and the Marietta experience together as one.
"I would love to do this for other families. I think this is unique. I think it's fascinating," said Adams.

I have been a casual runner ffor a long time not participating in any formal races. I average around an hour of running every other day. (Approximately six and half miles or so) The other days I either swim, stairmaster or bicycle. I also intersperse Pilates workouts.I also do not know what my pace should be as I've not participated in a 5K or 10K.I just know that I have endurance
I would like to run a half marathon at the end of January 2012.
I have looked at various training programs and it seems that they are very formulaic and do not accommodate the baseline that people are coming from. (except for long runs once a week most of the runs call for much shorter distances that I am used to running ,even on the easy days).
My question is do I scale back to the training programs as they outline the distances or is there a way to modify this and apply it to longer distances that I already am used to running?
which kind of training program should I be participating in?.
Also can I keep up I Pilates workouts and swimming or do I do strictly adhere to only running.
thank you.
Just of curiosity, which training programs are you looking into? In my opinion, with your base fitness, with adequate training you shouldn't have any problem with the 13.1 distance. It seems like you have a lot of endurance, and the capacity to build more, but if you are looking to run to your potential in a half-marathon, then I highly recommend following a training plan. Keep in mind too that most training programs are flexible enough to allow cross-training and strength/core workouts as part of the plan, so no doubt you can continue with your other workouts.
I would recommend you look into at least an intermediate training program--even though you don't race, your base fitness should allow you to achieve the longer distances and increased repeats of the higher-level training programs. That being said, there's a definite purpose to running shorter distances when training, and if you decide to go with a training plan, you should stick to it even if it seems "too easy" in the beginning. There are several reasons for this:
1. You will be running more often than every other day, for about 10-12 weeks straight. That's a lot of running, and if you start too hard, you could end up with an injury or mental fatigue, either of which can prevent you from making it to the starting line.
2. Some days you will work on your speed, which will damage your muscles and not allow you to run hard/long the next day. Short easy runs help you recover from the speedwork training, and yet still add to your fitness.
3. Your long run days will challenge you to distances you have not reached yet; ideally you should be well-rested and have only run easy the day before, and afterwards you will likely need to run easy as well to recover from the increased distance.
I hope you find this advice helpful. If you need a suggestion as far as what program might work for you, I would recommend looking into Hal Higdon's training programs. His intermediate plan can be found here: http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/inter.htm
At the bottom of the page is a link to his Advanced program, if you feel that the Intermediate is not challenging enough (I started with his Advanced when I trained for my first half, too).
Best of luck to you!
thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Ito followndeed it wasthe training program you refer tohttp://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/inter.htm that triggered my posting. It involvedjust seemed .that it would really take me down a couple of notches. But I do see the logic in what you are recommending and that there will be more running. I do not want to participate in the advanced programand I do think that running every day would highly increase the potential for injury. So if I do follow the intermediate program and scale back on my running distances, when can I or should I insert the Pilates or swimming. On rest days? Or can I add them on days the runs are easier?thank you so much for your advice.
I am personally just beginning a half marathon training plan after years of running regularly but never really going seriously for better times or longer distance. I would advise to have a look around and do a couple of google searches before you commit to a particular training plan as there are many (I, for example, liked Mr Higdon's plans, but ended up using another one).
Concerning other sports, so far I am adding them in light running days, as I prefer to only rest in rest days, I combine light runs with not-so-ligth swimming sesions, so I end up pretty tired but my ankles do not suffer too much.
Current PB:
5k: 19:53 (December 31st 2014)
10k : 42:30 (March 9th 2014)
Half Marathon: 1:32:40 (February 1st 2015)
Marathon: 3:33:31 (March 15th 2015)
Completed my first marathon! Feeling like getting some more!
I only just started running this past spring with the goalof completing a half. I searched many different training plans and picked onethat seemed to fit my ability and goal. However, the most effective tool for me was tolocate a local running group. Most groups would have many experienced runnersand there are almost always at least a few that are training for a race. The group will help to keep you motivated andon track to reach your goal(s). Itrained with my local group and far exceeded my goal by completing a Triathlon,2 halves and the Chicago Marathon. The group will push you more than you couldever imagine than training alone.
Best of luck
Running with a group sounds like a good idea, but as a new runner, I am afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up with more experienced runners. My town is small, so the group of runners is likely to be small too. The only member of the club I've met is an ultra runner - way out of my league. The local group does short runs early in the morning (I don't do mornings) and long runs on weekends. Trying to run 8 miles with fast runners is likely to get me injured. After I have more experience and afaster pace, I may join the group, but not yet.
thank you
Thanks for your advice.
I know there are other triaining plans out there. I want to do a free one and also many do too much running(in the advanced level). I have been, like I said in my initial posting running casually for a long time every other day,up to an hour. I do not want to run every day. Also, the problem is that I do not find a training plan that starts at a "higher" level of running. I see that most programs have lower distances of running except for the longer runs once a week. If t his is the appropriate way to approach half marathon training, even though I am ready more experienced, I will come back and adhere to the programs. I will admit that I will feel on the shorter runs like I didn't have a "workout".any thoughts, advice? Thank you
There is no reason that you can't make adjustments to the plan to bring it into line with your current running. Plans are a guide, not necessarily something you follow blindly. Just be sure when you start the plan that you don't have a sudden jump in weekly mileage. So your first week on the plan would total the same total miles you're running now, and the long run should not be substantially longer.
I just completed a local running program that was not very advanced, but it does afford the opportunity to connect with others and become introduced to professional trainers, coaches, physical therapists and so on in your area. You may also find classmates that are more advanced runners in the program moreso for community networking opportunities and it could be beneficial to link with them for the future. However, I am also a big believer in the notion that individual "higher" level of running, as you state, is almost entirely up to you. Actually, my suggestion is that you go ahead and join your local running group and participate in the classes and just look at the training time as an additional exercise routine that contributes to your overall goal. I cannot recommend a specific training plan, because I have not done enough research. I can only offer that if you are already running at an advanced level, then push yourself out during your personal runs. Set your own limits to surpass and keep track of your progress in a running journal. Also, please consider competing in some races at the 8K or 10K level before signing up for a half-marathon. Race pace is different...trust me.
Wishing you many happy miles!
thank you
Ginny, something you may want to consider is starting you run a little earlier than your running group, and as they catch up to you a couple miles or whatever into your run, you have encouragement and company at a good time on your run, maybe some chatting, and if they go on ahead of you, you can finish at your pace, and however far you want to run. Build up to their pace/distance a little at a time, and have more company/encouragement time as you get further along.
bbrrnnxx, you may want to consider Jeff Galloway's Run-Walk-Run, or a Run-to-Walk ratio, training plan if you are mostly concerned with simply finishing. I haven't found much literature supporting this idea as far as those who are running for time are concerned, but it's an avenue you can search. Check out your nutrition/hydration needs, also.

By Matt Young
It was a sight you might witness only in Saskatchewan: a vortex of geese descending on a decoy spread like a feathered tornado, silhouetted against a glowing prairie dawn. Unfortunately for Chad Belding and me, we watched this spectacle from a distance rather than from inside our layout blinds. The first wave of Canada geese had left their roost earlier than expected and taken us by surprise as we returned on foot from parking the vehicles by a distant farmstead. Our hunting partners, Fred Zink and Jim Alexander, held their fire at first, waiting for us to return, but as more and more geese landed in the decoys, they eventually had enough. From our hilltop vantage point, we had a panoramic view as they flipped back the canopies of their Powerhunter blinds and fired a quick volley of muffled shots as hundreds of geese flared around them.
Zink and Alexander had just finished gathering up the fallen birds when Belding and I finally reached the decoys, out of breath after jogging across several football field lengths of pea stubble. "That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen," Alexander said, hefting a pair of Canadas that he had just bagged. "Geese were walking less than five feet from my blind."
More birds left their roost on a nearby glacial lake, sending us running to our layout blinds camouflaged with dried mud and pea stalks. Surrounding us were several dozen fully flocked Canada, snow, and white-fronted goose decoys, wobbling gently in the breeze on motion stakes. With our decoys positioned along a high ridge overlooking the lake, the geese could clearly see our spread in the distance as they left the water.
A past world open goose calling champion and product development director for Avery Outdoors, Zink naturally assumed the role of chief guide and caller. He worked approaching geese with greeting calls, double clucks, and moans, while Belding, an Avery pro-staffer who has several state and regional calling titles to his credit, accompanied him with softer clucks and contented feeding murmur. A clamoring flock of more than two-dozen honkers responded to their calling and winged swiftly across the field toward our decoys. Flying just above the rolling terrain, the geese briefly disappeared from view as they dipped below a rise beyond the perimeter of the spread. Moments later, the big birds cleared the top of the ridge and loomed over the decoys, hovering for space to land among the lifelike impostors. The birds were so close that I briefly made eye contact with a startled goose when I sat up to shoot. Firing at point-blank range, we dispatched several of the birds within spitting distance of our blinds.

ANAHEIM — The Sharks played the way that Presidents' Trophy teams are supposed to play Tuesday night. They faced down demons and Ducks and desperation and won a game that had to be won.
Not easy, though. Not easy at all.
En route to their 4-3 victory, the Sharks were all over the map in terms of semi-organized yet motivated chaos. They had some silly giveaways that led to Anaheim goals, committed four penalties in the first period, and endured several moments of confusion on the bench as Coach Todd McLellan kept rearranging lines to put the people on the ice who would hold together the lead down the stretch.
And there was this:
When the Sharks had played their tailfins off in the first two periods only to find the score still tied at 3-3, the players came into the dressing room and looked one another in the eye and decided the whole series was on the line in the next 20 minutes. Sharks wing Devin Setoguchi said that during the intermission, captain Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton and Jeremy Roenick did what you'd expect team leaders to do.
"Joe and Patty and J.R. came in and said it's do or die for us and we don't want to go down 3-and-0 in the series," Setoguchi said.
It's doubtful that the beloved Los Tiburones needed to be reminded. But for the first time since the series began, as the third period started, there was a sense that something good would happen for the Sharks because of the way they had played in the first two periods.
"I think the difference was, we had all 20 guys on board," said defenseman Douglas Murray, who held his own impressively during a first-period fight with Anaheim muscleman George Parros. "We didn't have any passengers."
Some of us hesitate to use the word "choke" when it comes to professional athletes at the highest level, playing for the highest stakes. The games are too hard. The players had to excel just to get there. Very seldom do you see one of them outright gag or choke. More often, under stress, they try too hard and make way too many errors of aggressiveness. So if you define that as the "c" word, yes, the Sharks were in that neighborhood for Game 1 and Game 2.
Tuesday night was different. Tuesday night, the Sharks played recklessly and free, which led to moments of great adventure.
There were agonizing giveaway goals to the Ducks. But there was also persistent physical contact that put Anaheim on its heels for long stretches. Most significantly, the hits helped lead to traffic around the net that turned into pucks that finally found their way past Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller. And goodness gracious, the Sharks actually scored on a power play with a goal from Marleau.
"We got the second and third opportunities that we've talked about getting through the first two games," Setoguchi said. "And we were able to put them in."
"I thought we had the best first period we've had not only in these playoffs but in a long time," McLellan said. "That's a sign everybody not only on the ice but everybody on the other three lines and two sets of defensemen on the bench were feeding off each other."
Here's the highest compliment: For the first time in the series, the Sharks of April resembled the Sharks of November — never more so than in the game's final five minutes. With the Ducks throwing their best men on the ice to try to tie the score, McLellan sent out people who were good enough to hold Anaheim to just a few shots as the clock wound down.
As it all happened, you kept thinking about the remark made by Ducks defenseman Chris Pronger before this series even started when he spoke about the Sharks winning the Presidents' Trophy for finishing with the league's best regular-season record. Pronger had played for the St. Louis Blues in 2000 when they earned the same trophy.
"There is a lot of pressure on them, being the Presidents' Trophy winner and having all these grand expectations and on and on," Pronger said of the Sharks. "It's not an easy position to be in, and very few teams excel in that situation."
The Sharks did not excel for 60 minutes Tuesday night. But they won. Which is a bigger deal. Now comes Thursday and Game 4. The Sharks aren't claiming momentum yet.
"I believe you've got to create momentum every night," said McLellan. "And they're still ahead 2-games-to-1."

La Merce 2012 accommodation in Barcelona
Book a rental apartment for La Merce 2012
La Merce 2012
From 21/09/2012 To 24/09/2012
Venue: Barcelona
La Merce is a week-long celebration honouring the patron Saint of Barcelona, Our Lady of Mercy. It opens in an extravagant fashion with giants, dragons and capgrosses, in Plaça Sant Jaume in the old town, followed by over 600 traditional Catalan events including sardanes and correfocs. Other events include huge fireworks displays, an air show, free concerts and an assortment of activities for children.
Because La Merce has grown to be incredibly popular in recent years, many events are now staged on Montjuïc at the castle to reduce pressure on the centre, though at least 100,000 people are expected to descend on the Barri Gòtic to view the final parade.
La Mercè has been celebrated and an official holiday in Barcelona since 1871 when the ajuntament (city council) first organized a series of special activities in honour of the Catholic feast day of Our Lady of Mercy, La Mare de Déu de la Mercè in Catalan.
Note that although the actual feast day is officially September 24, the festivities begin a few days beforehand.
If you are attending La Merce 2012 and looking for accommodation nearby you may be interested in our selection of apartments in Barcelona. All of these come fully equipped.
