CALGARY, Alberta -- Brad Stuart couldn't help but smile as he described his overtime goal off a shot from Joe Thornton that gave the Sharks a much-needed 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
"I didn't really do anything except let it go off me," Stuart said of his first goal of the season, which came 1:13 into the extra session. "I think it hit me in the elbow and popped down in between," Flames goalie Reto Berra's legs.
The aesthetics mattered little to the Sharks, who snapped a five-game losing streak and salvaged two points after nearly letting another victory slip through their hands. The Sharks continue their road trip in Vancouver on Thursday.
The Sharks had played some of their best defensive hockey of the season in the first 40 minutes, building a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau and allowing just six Calgary shots on goal.
But that lead disappeared quickly in the third, as Kris Russell scored on the power play after Justin Braun was called for interference and Mike Cammalleri notched one at even strength for the Flames to tie the game 2-2.
Going into Tuesday, the Sharks were a combined 1-5 in overtimes and shootouts this season, including a 5-4 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday in which they blew leads on two occasions.
But Stuart's goal helped end some of that frustration.
"You feel comfortable and then all of a sudden, then boom, boom, they're right back in the game," said Thornton, who also assisted on Marleau's goal. "We were still a confident group. We had been playing well all night, and coaches told us to stay with it. ... We did, and got the two points."
After lamenting the number of scoring opportunities they had given up in recent games, the Sharks made defense their first priority Tuesday. The Flames had 13 shots and starting goalie Alex Stalock was forced to make just 11 saves in getting his second career win.
Not only did the Sharks set a season record for fewest shots allowed in a game, they came within a whisker of setting a franchise record. They allowed 17 shots in a 2-1 loss to Boston on Oct. 24, and the team record for fewest shots allowed is 11 against Pittsburg in Oct. 2008.
Most importantly for the Sharks, they stayed a point back of Phoenix and moved to within four points of Pacific Division-leading Anaheim.
"It's been a long time since we felt like this," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "When you're on the bench and you're playing the kind of game that you are and in control. Then all of a sudden its 2-2, then you get to overtime and you wonder if you're going to a shootout and who's going to shoot. So it is a sense of relief."
McLellan also mixed up his defensive pairings. Stuart was with Braun, Dan Boyle was with Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Scott Hannan was paired with Jason Demers. Stuart was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game in Winnipeg, as Matt Irwin dressed in his place.
"We played a better game," McLellan said. "We came out of our end better, we were faster, and we had more offense created from the blue line, so we have to be pleased."
As a result, Stalock was the loneliest man on the ice at times, as the Sharks outshot the Flames 17-3 through 20 minutes. Stalock said it was tough to get into a rhythm after he was hardly tested in the first two periods.
"You look at the stat sheet and it's pretty evident we played a pretty good defensive game," Stalock said. "We kept their chances to very few. Offensively, it showed. If we keep the puck out of our zone, we can play fast."

Jordany Valdespin sat by his locker, his eyes glued to a television showing Phillies-Nationals highlights. However, his mind seemed elsewhere, but apparently not on his quest to be the Opening Day leadoff hitter in center.
"They have a decision to make, and the only thing I can do is keep playing hard and give them something to think about,'' Valdespin said. "I can't make the decision. I have to play hard and see what happens in spring training.''
Valdespin rarely made eye contact, instead kept on watching the television.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One: Which Android phone do you prefer?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are two of the newest Android smartphones available in Australia. Which one would you choose?
The Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are two of the newest Android smartphones available in Australia. Which one would you choose?
We've spent almost a week with the Samsung Galaxy S4. It's not long enough for a comprehensive review just yet, but here's what we like and what we don't like about the Galaxy S4 so far.
Samsung will sell a total of 11 official Galaxy S4 accessories in Australia, range from basic cases and spare batteries, to a waterproof S Band fitness band and a wireless charging pad and cover. Here's when you can get them in Australia and how much...
Samsung will officially launch its hotly anticipated Galaxy S4 Android phone in Australia next week at an event in Sydney. Here's exactly what we know so far, what's happening and why it's a pretty big deal.
Samsung's Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are two of the most anticipated smartphones to be launched this year. These new Android smartphones are hitting the shelves in Australia very shortly but which one is right for you?
Google has begun rolling out an updated Play Store app on Android devices which is expected to be available "over the next few weeks". Here's how to get the app right now.
This post is in no way saying the BlackBerry Z10 is "better" than the iPhone, but here's a list of 10 BlackBerry Z10 features that you will not find in any iPhone.
Despite being announced earlier in the year, the HTC One still hasn't officially been released in Australia. So, when can Aussies get their hands on it?
Samsung last week revealed details of its Galaxy S4 Android phone, the most anticipated smartphone of 2013 so far. When can Aussies get their hands on it?
How does the Samsung Galaxy S4 stack up to its closest rivals, the Sony Xperia Z and the HTC One? And which of these flagship Android devices is right for you?
If you're currently in the market for an Android phone, both the HTC One and the Sony Xperia Z should be at the top of your shopping list. Both are set to hit the Australian market shortly, but which one is right for you?
It's a new era for BlackBerry. The company has a new name, a new mobile operating system and two new smartphones. The first is the BlackBerry Z10 and we've got our hands on a review unit a little early.
Here's what we like and what we don't like about the HTC One after our first hands-on.
Here's our first impressions of the Sony Xperia Z, including what we love about it so far and what we don't.
The water and dust resistant Sony Xperia Z is the company's new flagship Android phone for 2013. How will it stack up against Apple's iPhone 5?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Definition of affray in English:
nounLaw , dated
An instance of fighting in a public place that disturbs the peace: Lowe was charged with causing an affray a person guilty of affray

Middle English (in the general sense 'disturbance, fray'): from Anglo-Norman French afrayer 'disturb, startle', based on an element of Germanic origin related to Old English frithu 'peace, safety' (compare with German Friede 'peace').
Although an affray is now a disturbance of the peace caused by fighting in a public place, its first meaning was 'alarm, fright or terror' or 'frighten'. Its root is the old Norman French word afrayer, which also gives us afraid (Middle English).

NEW DELHI: Oil at over $143 a barrel is big bucks anywhere in the world. But it's a different story in India. The seventh round of bidding under the new exploration licensing policy (NELP) has been a near flop. But for a few new entrants like LN Mittal (one block with HPCL), BHP Billiton (seven blocks with GVK group), RIL-British Petroleum combine(one deepwater block) and the usual suspect ONGC, it would have been almost embarrassing for the government.
"The bidding was low and the response was lukewarm," a senior official from the director general of hydrocarbons said. While 12 blocks, out of a total of 57, failed to get even a single bid, as many as 19 got just one bid. Big oil companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Total and Shell, among others, preferred to stay away.

The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale Chapter 16 Summary
- In the next part of the Ceremony, the narrator, Serena Joy, and the Commander are in a bedroom. The narrator has on all her clothes except her underwear, while the other two are basically fully clothed, and she is lying between Serena Joy's legs. The two women are holding hands while the Commander has sexual intercourse with the narrator.
- The narrator states that she is not in control, but that the Commander is not raping her, because she was offered a choice and she chose this over the alternative.
- The narrator thinks that it's ironic how this ménage a trois, which in prewar time would have been a male fantasy, is completely without love, passion, or pleasure. Everyone is just uncomfortably doing his or her job, and they check out until it's over.
- The narrator wonders if she'd have a better time if the Commander were more attractive, and reflects that he's better than the Commander she had before, who smelled bad.
- The Commander finishes and leaves. Serena Joy tells the narrator to leave too. The narrator wonders who is worse off in this whole process.

USA, 2013, 94 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: African-American, American Indie, Americana, Drama
Program: New Directors ShowcaseLanguage: English
In 1864, late in the Civil War, black adolescent Will (Ashton Sanders) arrives alone at a safe house under the cover of night. After being ushered into a barn where he huddles with a silent group of runaway slaves, Will secretly slips out to provide intelligence to a relentless white bounty hunter named Burrell (Bill Oberest Jr.). The latter subsequently sends Will and Marcus (Keston John) to the North to retrieve Nate (Tishuan Scott), a fugitive freeman. As they begin to make their way back under false pretenses—Will and Marcus invent a story involving Nate's dead brother—Will is forced to decide between continuing in his own self-interest and doing the right thing.
The most recent in a dynamic new cycle treating the slave experience, a series that includes last Christmas's Django Unchained and this fall's 12 Years a Slave, The Retrieval stands out for its moral complexity and storytelling courage: few filmmakers would allow their black teenage protagonist to profit from the abhorrent institution, before or while courting viewer sympathy. Eska does precisely this, and for good reason: the world he is bringing to the screen is one where a man's value is above all economic.
Written, shot, and even edited by Eska, The Retrieval is no less notable for Yasu Tanida's tasteful cinematography and the many polished and intelligently underplayed performances that have been earning the film award after award since it premiered at South by Southwest.

[Review] 9496 Desert Skiff
Posted 18 May 2012 - 06:48 PM
Name: Desert Skiff
Setnumber: 9496
Theme: Star Wars
Year: 2012
Parts: 213
Minifig: 4
Price: €29,99
Today I bought the new Desert Skiff set and decided to do a review. At first I thought the price is a bit high, but more on this later. Let's begin with the review. Enjoy.
The box. Lengthy and shiny with a nice picture of the set.
Back of the box, showing of the features. I really like this kind of pictures. They give away a good feel about the set.
The contents. Three bags, instruction booklet and three plates.
Instructions, random page and comic at the end. The booklet feels very thick and sturdy.
Minifigs of bag 1. Luke and Boba are both newly designed. Both are single faced and only Luke got backprinting.
Bricks of bag 1. Nice tan selection.
In-build and finished Sarlacc. Looks better in person than on pictures. A minifig fits easily into the mouth but that's it. If you can get a poor fella in it, there is no more danger coming from old Sandmouth. You know the digestion can last thousand years
Spare parts.
Minifigs bag 2. Lando is just awesome. Great print and the helmet is a beauty My favorite fig of this set. Kithaba is also great, nice face. Both got backprinting but no second face.
Bricks of bag 2.
These new pieces are very useful. Nice creation LEGO .
In-build and finished bag 2.
Spare parts.
Up to the third and last bag. No Minifigs in this and to a great surprise not one spare part in it.
In-build and finished Skiff. Some really simple but nice techniques.
Besides the plank there are three more features at the skiff. Moveable wings, a weapons compartment and one flick fire missle at the left side under the skiff (not pictured, sorry).
Completed Set.
As a bonus a little comparision with the first LEGO Skiff. Pretty impressive size on the new one.
Fun fact: This picture shows my very first and latest Star Wars set I bought. I realized it while building. Very emotional
I hope you enjoyed my little review. Now the final verdict.
Playability: 10/10
The new skiff is great and very swooshable. Nice features round this up. The sarlacc is a welcomed addition and nicely executed.
Minifig: 10/10
4 figs. Two really nice ones (Luke/Kithaba) and two awesome ones (Boba/Lando). The latter ones alone make this set a must have.
Parts: 8/10
Nice selection in useful colors. The new snot pieces a nice.
Price: 7/10
I was lucky and used a 10% coupon, so I only paid €26,99. I think this is a good price for the set. The original one seems a bit to high but at the end you get nice figures and a pretty entertaining build. It is way more satisfying than 7956 Ewok Attack or 7749 Ecjo Base with similar pricepoints.
Total: 35/40 Highly recommended.
2845 Indian Chief - 8076 Deep Sea Striker - 7295 Dino Buggy Chaser - 2259 Skull Motorbike
9440 Venomari Shrine - 4438 Robbers' Hideout - 5886 T-Rex Hunter - 9496 Desert Skiff

But the skiff is very slovenly, IMO.
Posted 18 May 2012 - 08:03 PM
This is a definite purchase for me; it looks like a really good set & at a reasonable cost. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the 'boot' printing on Boba Fett....

I really like the Lando fig and could always go for another Boba.

This is one set I'm definately picking up, mainly for Boba Fett.
Thanks for the review, Plissken!
Posted 18 May 2012 - 09:53 PM
I only recently got into SW Lego, so I will definitely be getting this set. The minifigures are brilliant. Lando is superb, and Fett is beautiful as well. I can't wait to have this in hand. There are too many great sets coming out this year. I thought I spent a lot last year...

My daughter has been getting into Lego lately. She always wants to build or play with my pieces/figures instead of her own Duplo. She loves the Friends sets too. But with getting her into Lego, I never considered the time when there would be a set both of us may want and we would have to get two! Now I'm worried!
The Skiff will be amazing for sure. I can't wait.

The figs clearly make this set, hands down. I worried, whether or not this might be useful for me, but given the nice selection of parts in colours I want, there's a big chance I will get rather one or two of these skiffs for parting out. Luke's torso and Lando in his entirety could really be useful for my needs. Not so sure about BF and the grunt*, but even they could provide some useful material by leg- and arm-swapping them.
Be well!
*(Yeah! As if its "name" was really relevant for anyone besides die-hard collectors! Way to sell out on even the last background character by obsessively inventing nomenclature for any and all of them, GL... *facepalm*)

Dedee Shattuck Gallery is opening its 2013 season Wednesday with an exhibit of abstract paintings by Maria Walker and Charles Miller. Guest curator Henry McMahon is sharing two of New York's emerging artists with the SouthCoast audience.
Walker's work displays the tension between complete control and randomness. While chance, time and intuition are the driving forces of Walker's painting process, she intercepts the chaos with carefully controlled elements such as unique polygonal stretcher bar compositions or the implementation of everyday systems such as the calendar or the color spectrum. Her process involves pouring hand-mixed pigments onto canvas, and then stretching the resulting compositions over non-conventionally shaped frames.
Miller takes visual notes from observations of nature in Maine back to his New York studio. He obsessively layers simple elements dissected from his sketches onto canvas. He is inspired by his experience of the natural world, but guided by design principles and a painterly language.
Guest curator McMahon is a painter, teacher, writer and art critic living and working in Long Island City, Queens. This is his debut experience as a curator.
The exhibit runs through April 28. The artist reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. April 6.
Dedee Shattuck Gallery at 1 Partners Lane, off 865 Main Road in Westport, is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. For more information, visit www.dedeeshattuckgallery.com.

Denver Center Arts 2016/17 Season at a Glance
**Please be advised that The Denver Center for the Performing Arts – denvercenter.org – is the ONLY authorized online seller of tickets for Denver Center Attractions (the Broadway touring productions) and the Denver Center Theatre Company (the resident theatre company productions). Currently there are scalpers, also known as 'second party vendors,' selling tickets online at a rate more than double the standard price – and up.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, based on the hit DreamWorks film and the incredible true story that inspired it, plays The Buell Theatre February 26 – March 10, 2013. This high-flying, splashy new Broadway musical tells the story of Frank W. Abagnale, Jr., a teenager who runs away from home in search of the glamorous life. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer — living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. But when Frank's lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl chases Frank to the end…and finds something he never expected. Don't miss this big-hearted musical adventure based on an astonishing real-life story of being young, in love…and in deep, deep trouble. CatchMeOnTour.com
THE DOYLE & DEBBIE SHOW plays The Garner Galleria Theatre. This new hit musical featuring all-original songs is sublime homage and parody, simultaneously idolizing and lampooning country music's tradition of iconic duos and the battle of the sexes that accompany them.

Two nice videos on Gozo Shioda. When asked what is Aikido's strongest technique he answers "becoming friends with the person who comes to kill you". The section with Sanma and Beat Takeshi is very funny.

OAKLAND (AP) — Athletics left-hander Dallas Braden has received an injection of platelet-rich plasma in his strained, surgically repaired throwing shoulder and will not do any baseball activity for three weeks.
Manager Bob Melvin says Braden received the shot during Monday's examination in New York with Dr. David Altchek — who performed his procedure last May 17 — and will be limited to strengthening exercises and rehab until he is cleared to resume his throwing program. Braden had initially hoped to return to the A's revamped rotation by early May before suffering his latest setback last week.
The pitcher stayed in Arizona when Oakland opened the regular season with two games in Tokyo against Seattle. He threw a bullpen session then felt some discomfort the next day while playing catch.

Moon Shots
These animated crescent moons must have been studio backdrops at some Albuquerque location in the early 1900s. And our relatives apparently were drawn to them. Does anybody know the story behind these photos?
Here's what we DO know.
In the first photo, sisters Domitila Sanchez Torres (seated at left) and Dolores, or Lola (standing) are joined by someone we THINK is their sister-in-law Andrellita – the wife of Ignacio Torres. The photo was taken long before Domitila was widowed and moved to California and before Lola married Vivian Stapleton. Andrellita became their sister-in-law in 1906.
In the second photo, José Torres (seated in the middle) is joined by his nephews Francisco Sanchez (left) and Victoriano Sanchez (right). This photo probably was taken when they all were still bachelors. Francisco and José both married in 1912, and Victoriano married in 1916. All three married Albuquerque girls. The second photo was photographed in black-and-white with a 35mm camera many years ago. The original MAY have been sepia tone, like the first photo.

FILE - In this Aug. 23, 2011 file photo, the North Anna Nuclear Power Station is seen in Louisa County Va. The risk of an earthquake causing a severe accident at a nuclear power plant is up to 24 times greater than previously believed, according to an AP analysis of preliminary government data, and the nation's nuclear regulator believes that a quarter of reactors may need modifications to make them safer. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says more than two dozen plants in the eastern and central U.S. may need upgrades because they're more likely to get hit with an earthquake larger than the one their design was based on. It's a belated conclusion; for more than a decade, regulators ignored the evidence of increased quake risks. (AP Photo/Clement Britt, File)

Sitting across the bay from famously gay-friendly San Francisco, Oakland can be a perilous home for homosexual youths, and one teenaged resident is fighting to bring those dangers to light.
Leilani Hopson, 18, will accept honors Saturday for her work in youth media and for her leadership in shaping public opinion around issues facing Oakland teens. Nonprofit social health group Girls Inc. will present the award to Hopson, one of six Bay Area women to be recognized for this year's Girls Who Dare Awards.
"Our theme this year is 'Women in Power'," Girls Inc. Executive Director Karen Kenney said. "In Leilani's case, we're honoring her power to influence public opinion. More importantly, the opinion of other youths."
Hopson is being recognized largely for her work with Youth Radio, an Oakland program through which she has pushed for discussion of several issues, including the dangers facing homosexual youths in urban environments such as Oakland.
"My friend who's gay, we went to a party together in West Oakland, and she got robbed and had a gun pointed against her head because she didn't want to talk to some guy, and she's gay," Hopson said.
"There are small numbers of people who just don't like gayness and will take violent actions because of your sexuality and how you express yourself. It's really dangerous for men, because of the macho thing out here," she said.
Hopson has also spent time raising conversations about public schools and the role of education in the lives of Oakland children.
"For me, I grew up in a particularly African-American community," Hopson said. "Our parents, a lot of people's parents, are not asking them about school every day, asking about college. That isn't talked about. My family — I have so many family members who are rappers, but only a small percentage will succeed at that. I want to bring up that you don't always have to go in that direction or what you see on TV or in the streets.
"Sometimes I think it's best for us who are still young to think about issues, because it's going to affect us when we get older. If we don't make the schools any better, when we have kids where are they going to go?"
Hopson is preparing to graduate from Far West High School in Oakland and said she plans to attend a junior college to save on tuition money before transferring to a four-year school. She will be DJing at the Oakland Museum this summer, as part of the "Cool Remixed" exhibit.
Girls Inc. will host the Girls Who Dare awards ceremony Saturday at Scott's Seafood Restaurant Pavilion in Jack London Square. For more information, visit www.girlsincislandcity.org or call 510-521-1743.

AUSTIN (October 30, 2012)--Texas Senators from both sides of the aisle said Tuesday the state may have gone too far in imposing a zero tolerance policy for bad behavior in schools.
The Senate Education and Criminal Justice Committees, which were meeting jointly Tuesday to discuss how schools can better treat troublesome students, heard testimony on how minority and special-needs students are far more likely to face disciplinary action than other kids.
Senators also complained that school police are writing too many tickets to everyone, sometimes for small infractions.
State Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas noted that, on average, more than 80 percent of male black students had faced disciplinary action at least once, calling that "ridiculous."
Sens. Florence Shapiro and John Whitmire said ticket-writing at school was out of control and that zero tolerance shouldn't trump common sense.

D700 and I'm sure the D3 dynamic range = Fantastic
For some reason over the years I have always ended up in the teller line at the bank with either a new lens or camera in the seat beside me. Today it was the D700 with my trusty Nikkor 28-70 2.8 D AFS, a lens that was the bread and butter glass for PJ's since it's inception, but fell out of favor with the advent of DX because the range is rather off for such use. They all bought the 17-55 2.8 DX.
And of course Nikon has now come out with the excellent 24-70 G type.
I'm so happy to be able to use it again as it was intended.
It was 2:30 PM EDT, clear skies, and high summer in Miami. I decided to start out with a crazy shot mainly to check for CA along the edges of extremely hi-contrast areas. I never intended for it to be anything other than a reference series of shots. I started out at F2.8 ISO 200 and worked through several focal lengths and apertures. I was adjusting the exposure in manual and used no exposure compensation. I was shooting basically into the bright part of the sky with the side of the building in the foreground. Suicide! right? Surely it would take at least a -1.3-7 EV compensation just to get close to not blowing the highlights.
Well here is the shot and a screen shot of the histogram (Profoto-16bit colorspace). The reason for the screen shot is because when you compress the color space to sRGB and 8 bit the highlights do blow out and the shadows block up some.
This is pretty much straight out of the camera except for the RAW processing in ACR and resizing for the web. No D lighting, Highlights and shadow or other adjustments.

Through the judicious use of adjustment layers, no pixels were actually harmed in the processing of my shots..

Tributes are pouring in for comedian Joan Rivers.
Her daughter, Melissa, confirmed that her mother had died early Thursday afternoon.
Rivers' punchy and direct style is one that stuck with many.
Those people are now remembering Rivers and the barriers she broke for women in comedy.
Her sharp tongue is especially remembered - she never had an unspoken thought.
And that brash comedy left an impact on many.
"I read on the news and started looking into her again," said Cliff McWhorter. "My first memory was as kids growing up. I would watch the shows, all the comedy she was doing. It was great."
From her time on television with Johnny Carson to her red carpet specials, where no star was off limits.
She said if you laugh at it, you can live with it.

About the Book
"A rare and wonderfully written book of literary detection that is heartbreaking as well as thrilling."
—Michael Ondaatje, author of The English Patient<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
In the tradition of Simon Winchester's The Professor and the Madman comes Proust's Overcoat by Lorenza Foschini—the charming, endlessly intriguing story of a collector's obsessive search for the personal effects of legendary author Marcel Proust. This fascinating true story introduces readers to a truly delightful character—Jacques Guérin, owner of a perfume company in France—and enthralls them with his relentless lifelong pursuit of all things Proustian, even the author's most mundane possessions.
Jacques Guérin was a prominent businessman at the head of his family's successful perfume company, but his real passion was for rare books and literary manuscripts. From the time he was a young man, he frequented the antiquarian bookshops of Paris in search of lost, forgotten treasures. The ultimate prize? Anything from the hands of Marcel Proust.
Guérin identified with Proust more deeply than with any other writer, and when illness brought him by chance under the care of Marcel's brother, Dr. Robert Proust, he saw it as a remarkable opportunity. Shamed by Marcel's extravagant writings, embarrassed by his homosexuality, and offended by his disregard for bourgeois respectability, his family had begun to deliberately destroy and sell their inheritance of his notebooks, letters, manuscripts, furni-ture, and personal effects. Horrified by the destruction, and consumed with desire, Guérin ingratiated himself with Marcel's heirs, placating them with cash and kindness in exchange for the writer's priceless, rare material remains. After years of relentless persuasion, Guérin was at last rewarded with a highly personal prize, one he had never dreamed of possessing, a relic he treasured to the end of his long life: Proust's overcoat.
Proust's Overcoat introduces a cast of intriguing and unforgettable characters, each inspired and tormented by Marcel, his writing, and his orphaned objects. Together they reveal a curious and compelling tale of lost and found, of common things and uncommon desires.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Lorenza Foschini's delightful portrait of Guerin and his Proust obsession (translated from the Italian by Eric Karpeles). The objects themselves take on a life of their own and do a jig in this little volume." — Newsday
"A fascinating, quick read about Jacques Guérin, a guy whose obsession with Marcel Proust makes Justin Bieber fans look calm (slight exaggeration)." — Nylon Magazine
"Lorenza Foschini's portrait of Guérin and his Proust obsession is delightful, and the objects themselves take on a life of their own and do a jig in this little volume." — Los Angeles Times
"This sparkling, elegant piece of reportage addresses not only these particular facts and their historical ambience but also, more indirectly, larger questions of our fascination with celebrity and our passion for relics, however humble, gilded by the charisma of fame." — Boston Globe
"Charmingly narrated." — San Francisco Chronicle
"[Foschini], elegantly teasing out the relationship between family dynamics and property... highlights the role of objects and spaces in Proust's work, allowing us to see In Search of Lost Time through a different lens." — BookForum
"Foschini does a superb job of driving the intrigue and depicting how and why Guérin fell into such an infatuation. The Prousts and Guérin are characters not soon forgotten." — Sacramento Book Review
"The translation by Karpeles... is seamless. VERDICT: This reviewer belonged to a group that read only Proust; we called ourselves the Proustitutes. Proust's Overcoat is urgently recommended to Proustitutes wherever you are." — Library Journal
"Readers pondering what manner of person created the masterpiece In Search of Lost Time will gobble up this tale of family tensions, revenge and collecting as they reflect on a literary legacy that was almost lost." — Shelf Awareness
"A rare and wonderfully written book of literary detection, that is heartbreaking as well as thrilling, about the 'afterlife' of a writer's manuscripts and the things he carried." — Michael Ondaatje
"I read it in two sittings and just loved it." — André Aciman, author of EIGHT WHITE NIGHTS
"This book is just my style. In the spirit of La Bohème, a brilliant aria to the coat." — Patti Smith
"It's exquisite, delicate, fascinating. I put PROUST'S OVERCOAT on the same shelf as Serena Vitale's PUSHKIN'S BUTTON and Umberto Eco's FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM." — Edmund White, author of HOTEL DE DREAM and MY LIVES

Product Reviews
Millennium Wars is a series of six standalone games: Iraq, Chechnya, Ukraine, Korea, America, and Air War. Each comes in a box the size of a large paperback, and each has the same format: a standard rulebook, charts, a map, a variety of counters, and a scenario book with special rules pertaining to individual conflicts.
The rules, strategic level with an operational flavor, along with the flexible system applied to a series of modern flashpoint battles, offer a gaming experience of tremendous depth. The sheer variety of units, ranging from peacekeepers to "cyber-cadres," adds to the enormous fun of these tiny packages. Air War even further enhances the others in the series by rewriting the standard air warfare rules. When did you last defeat such formidable foes in a game that fits into your planner?

Letters/Opinion: Lawsuit filed against Del Mar
Dear Residents and Commercial Property Owners of Del Mar,
I'm writing to advise you that I recently filed a lawsuit against Del Mar, identified as: Conkwright vs. Del Mar, case #37-2011-00054394-CU-PT-NC.
The basis for this lawsuit is summarized by the speech I read to the City Council at its Feb. 22 hearing, and my correspondence for the May 9, 2011 City Council closed session hearing (to read both the Feb. 22 speech and May 9 correspondence, see below).
It's not my desire to close down Del Mar businesses, but rather to convince a judge that 1201 should not be singled out and required to comply with a parking ordinance that has never been enforced against other similarly zoned properties.
I hope you will advise your city councilpersons that it will be better for them to acknowledge the situation and clean up their mess rather than continue to defend what has been a corrupt system. Otherwise, a judge will eventually order the city of Del Mar to enforce the parking ordinance in a uniform manner.
George Conkwright owner, 1201 Camino del Mar
Correspondence for May 9, 2011 City Council closed session Hearing
George Conkwright, 1201 Camino del Mar
At the Feb. 22 City Council hearing I read the speech (see below). Still, the City Council voted to uphold Ralph Peck's appeal. This City Council vote requires me to file a lawsuit within 90 days, and that lawsuit will be filed soon. My goal in filing it is not to shut down other businesses, but to convince a judge that 1201 should not be singled out and required to comply with a parking ordinance that has never been enforced against other similarly- zoned properties.
The City Council now has two possible courses of action:
(1) You can fight the lawsuit, and continue to defend what has been a corrupt system of "back door permits" issued to under-parked properties.
(2) Or you can acknowledge that there's been a lot of "discrepant use permits" issued in Del Mar, and pass by resolution a "sunset clause" . . . which, at some point in the future, terminates uses that don't comply with a new and reasonable parking ordinance. Alternately, those under-parked properties could be allowed to fund spaces in a public parking garage.
If you continue to single out 1201 for enforcement of an impossible parking ordinance, the City's involvement in all these "discrepant use permits" will become public knowledge. My requests for production of documents will require that you eventually acknowledge that many of Del Mar's restaurants and other uses, including the Del Mar Library, were never properly permitted. It's all documented in public records. For example, the specific plan for the Plaza states:
"Outdoor dining shall be allowed on terraces associated with a restaurant space provided an equivalent amount of interior restaurant square footage is not used during services of outdoor dining." It also states "total interior and exterior dining areas shall not exceed 14,400 square feet."
Smashburger's development exceeded the Plaza's maximum restaurant footage, and provides no additional parking for the inside space or the outside food-serving patio, which is partially located on private property. In fact, Del Mar has never required parking for any outside food-serving deck . . . anywhere in town . . . except at 1201 Camino del Mar.
Failure to acknowledge what's happened in the past, and take action to correct it, will also continue to burden Del Mar's re-vitalization efforts, since at least one third of the commercial properties in this town have been given use permits far greater than they can ever gain by re-development. For the next 50 years these under-parked properties will remain unchanged, since they have no incentive to re-develop.
How long will it take for the City Council to figure all this out . . . and issue the appropriate restaurant use permits to the best-parked building in town?
The clock is running, and I'm losing rent. Thank you for your time
February 22, 2011 City Council speech
George Conkwright, 1201 Camino del Mar
I built 1201 40 years ago before many of you came to town. Today, Del Mar is a picture of what happened during those last 40 years, and it should tell you there's something wrong here.
The City's planning and design review process has created beautiful residential properties . . . but that same process failed in developing the downtown.
Del Mar's commercial district is mostly nondescript old buildings that were given back-door permits for uses way beyond their ability to provide parking for those uses. And it was done while the City staff and Del Mar residents walked by every day and turned a blind eye.
To put this parking issue in perspective:
1201 sits on a 20,000 sq. ft. lot, and has 15,000 sq. ft. dedicated to parking.
It's the best-parked building in town. Today it's become a public parking lot for its under-parked neighbors.
1201 has more on-site parking than all the following restaurants combined:
Board & Brew
Starbucks and
Bruegger's Bagels
Crepes & Corks
Cafe Secret
Jimmy O's
Sushi Japone
These 10 restaurants, AND all the buildings they're housed in, which represents over 50,000 sq. ft. of space . . . all combined . . . have less parking than 1201 Camino del Mar.
How did this situation come about? Where 1201 has been held hostage to re-development for 25 years . . . while during that time . . . residents of this City have seen hundreds of new restaurant seats created in buildings with little or no parking? It came about because Del Mar has an impossible parking ordinance . . . and City Councils that have been unwilling to address the problem . . . or enforce the parking ordinance in a uniform manner.
No other commercial building . . . except 1201 . . . has ever been required to provide parking for outside decks. No other commercial building has been held to the parking standards to which you've held 1201 Camino del Mar.
Del Mar has two political factions: One faction wants to see an economically viable downtown that generates sales tax. The other faction consists of a few local neighbors who don't want any change. That dissent . . . plus an impossible parking ordinance . . . has led to a corrupt system where the City issued back door permits to their friends. The deeper you delve into Del Mar's restaurant permits, the more corruption you'll find.
The City Council passed the Pilot Program because they want to re-vitalize the downtown, and because they realized the current Parking Ordinance is unduly restrictive.
Re-developing this 800 sq. ft. office suite into a restaurant has already taken over three years.
Since last summer, 1201 has been in compliance with the Pilot Program. Additionally, I have agreed to comply with the conditions stated in Mrs. Garcia's Dec. 14 letter. If that's not good enough, tonight's hearing will exhaust my administrative remedies.
Your vote tonight will be to either . . . go back and review the past . . . or move forward with Del Mar's re-development. Thank you for your time.

Pro-Palestinian activists have criticised UK airports and budget airline Jet2 for imposing the UK's "first Israeli checkpoints" after passengers attempting to take part in Sunday's "flytilla" protests were stopped from boarding flights to Israel.
A dozen or so passengers, led by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, were stopped by Jet2's Manchester check-in desk, which closed briefly due to a peaceful protest by 100 people, police confirmed. The airline broke with its non-refund policy and offered full refunds after protests. Easyjet also offered refunds to a small number of protesters who attempted to fly from Luton Airport. In statements, both airlines said they had legal obligations not to allow passengers to fly to a country which would bar entry.
Manchester Jewish activist Pia Feig, 59, said protesters were considering legal action against Jet2 and complaints to Manchester's airport authority for discrimination and refusing to honour a binding contract.
"There was a Chasidic family next to me at the check-in desk who were allowed to fly. The only difference between myself and them is my beliefs as an avowed open supporter of the rights of Palestinians." Grandmother Mrs Feig complained: "Under British law, you can't discriminate on goods and services on the basis of belief. Jet2 was the first checkpoint in the West Bank, and we know the checkpoints are part of the system of occupation."
There was confusion among the airlines after 13 UK activists successfully boarded flights to Tel Aviv from Luton and Manchester. The 13 were part of a total of around 80 activists who flew from various countries to reach Bethlehem in the Welcome to Palestine protest. Another Manchester activist was turned back by airport security after reaching the boarding gate, although Paveen Yaqub, who was on the Mavi Marmara, successfully flew with Jet2, but was then held in an Israeli jail. At Luton, three activists said they were not stopped by EasyJet before boarding their flights to Tel Aviv.
All protesters were returned from Tel Aviv by their airlines.
Luton protest organiser "D" Murphy, who was imprisoned for six days last August in the first flytilla, said Israel had created negative publicity because of its "overreaction" to people "openly coming in peace."

Wrap And Rap Up
I have really stunk it up here lately with the blog. Nuttin' major, just seems I haven't been able to pull off two days in a row. It's been a busy week. I'm sure it has for you too so, we can't finish until we get started.
I was well aware I wouldn't get yesterdays blog done with packing and heading up to play golf in White County on the agenda. Searcy that is......Harding University, Yarnells Back........Population 22,858 +.....say it with me...SAAAAAAAALUTE!!......I can't tell if Searcy has grown since last year. I was in a different part Thursday night I didn't know existed but, it still has that small town feel. That's a good thing. The tip off to a small town supporting it's locals? If their is a video store. Yep. I saw one. With Redbox taking over, video stores are like full service gas stations, scarce.
Gotta lot to give ya so away we go.......We started off The Show With No Name with a call from Sterling from Center Ridge and with The Stupid Question Thursday morning. I discovered Tommy likes a little pain. He wanted to do the question but, when it went into the 2nd hour it started gettin' on his nerve. And that can be ugly at times because he is apparently on his last one with the bit. I started suspecting something when one of the discussions we had was on TV shows that you like that others don't. RED FLAG!! The Outlaw wanted to vent. Hit the deck Malachi!
Mark Miller stopped in to talk about the last weekend of the month at Frank Fletcher Dodge. Mark was in a hurry to get to work and bolted out of the studio earlier than he normally does. So early in fact, he was gone before Frank called in. We'll broadcast live from Sherwood on Monday morning to close out the very, very, last day of April. Wow! We move into the month of May next week. Time is zippin' by!
We had a generous helping of Beat the Baz. David has gotten so much better at this game over the years that it is a must for someone to help our caller/contestant in the game against David 'The' Bazzel. While Eddie Pannel and Indu Soora were in the studio at the time talking about Bollywood and Harmony Health Clinic and since Eddie is somewhat knowledgeable about music, we had our little helpers.
It wasn't long after that I was on my way to the Country Club to play golf and to have dinner with Casey and Sara Dacus. David and Shantell joined us. On the course I shot a not so really sucky round. James Ballentine and Brian Morse were playing lights out but, when Casey Dacus started getting into his rhythm and me talking feces well, that was just more than our opponents could handle and they faltered at the end!!
This morning at Dacus Sales and Rentals was a fun time too. That Dacus family are just good people. Sara made a most wonderful breakfast casserole. She is a teacher of 8th graders. Sara may start grading my blog writing. She said she would but, first I had to bring it up to her grade level. Just a very nice lady. Her hubby is no slouch. Casey was the one that invited us to golf and dinner. His dad is a kind man I know. How do I know you ask? I'm glad you asked. Mr. Dacus put up with our shenanigans while he was trying to conduct business in his store. All the while with a smile on his face. I think having Butch Elvis Dicus (no relation because its a different name) made more of difference than my presence. I may tend to agree. I like Elvis. It's just this photo makes it seem like I really like. I had to show it before David did and tried to put some sort of spin on it. There it is. I'm just gonna end this thing now with a Tommy Smith Rap.
Have a safe weekend if you're off and I feel your pain if you're not!
Talk atcha Monday.
Remember you don't have to buy a new car to be treated like you did. Fletcher Dodge has a wide selection of cars to fit every budget. Just for stopping by and talking with the Fletcher guys you get dinner for two at Benihana Japanese Steakhouse.
Check out THIS WEEKS deals. 2009 Toyota Carolla Sport, 34 mpg, 45k miles, only $14888.
Or this 2011 Kia Forte 2 door Coupe, brilliant red, great gas mileage, just $16997
Check everywhere you want but, check with Fletcher Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Sherwood before you make your final decision. You` will be glad you did.
Thanks for listening and making The Buzz 103.7 your #1 station. Join The Show With No Name from 6am-10am Mon-Fri with Tommy Smith, David Bazzel, RJ Hawk, and myself.

Little Wild Learn To Play Program
The Minnesota Wild, Minnesota Hockey, CCM, Total Hockey along with Wild forward Charlie Coyle today announced the Little Wild Learn to Play program, a new initiative designed to introduce the game of ice hockey by overcoming affordability barriers that typically limit involvement at the beginner level in an effort to increase participation in youth hockey and grow the game.
The inaugural program will kick off in September, when nearly 500 youth will have the opportunity to participate at one of eight arenas across the State of Hockey, with plans to grow and expand it each year. Each participant will be outfitted with gear from head-to-toe and receive four hours of professional on-ice instruction for $100. The program will also promote the importance of regular exercise, team work, and developing leadership skills all while having fun experiencing the game of hockey.
"It's our mission to continue creating a greater State of Hockey, so today we are thrilled to be launching the Little Wild Learn to Play program," said Minnesota Wild Chief Operating Officer Matt Majka. "We are truly thankful to our partners Minnesota Hockey, CCM and Total Hockey who have not only made this program possible, but will help us take it to the next level."
Registration for Little Wild Learn to Play will begin on May 27 on Wild.com on a first-come, first-served basis and is open for children aged five to eight. The program is open to those who have not already participated in Mite Level hockey programs. Children with any previous hockey league or program experience are not eligible to participate in the program.
The program will include professional instruction by licensed USA Hockey and Minnesota Hockey instructors. Wild forward Charlie Coyle will participate as a guest instructor at select sessions. Each participant will receive co-branded Little Wild and CCM equipment including skates, hockey bags, jerseys, helmets, gloves, pants, pads, socks and sticks. The cost of the program includes all equipment and four hours of on-ice instruction. If not enrolled in the program, the Little Wild equipment will still be available through CCM at Total Hockey locations for $200.
"I'm excited to be a part of the Little Wild program," Coyle said. "I have great childhood memories from playing the game and it's obviously had a really positive influence on my life. I want to do whatever I can to share this great sport with others, especially kids, and continue growing the game."
"Minnesota Hockey is very much looking forward to the first-ever Little Wild Learn to Play program," said Glen Andresen, Executive Director of Minnesota Hockey. "This program will help extend our efforts to introduce more families to the great game of hockey around the state, who want to give the sport a try at an extremely low cost. This will have a huge impact on growing the game and supporting our local community-based associations. We are so thankful for the support of the Minnesota Wild, CCM, Total Hockey and Charlie Coyle."
"We're excited to partner with the Wild, Minnesota Hockey and Total Hockey on this outstanding program," said Reebok-CCM Hockey trade marketing executive Bob Fallen. "We're involved in 'Little NHL' programs in other U.S. cities which have enjoyed great success in welcoming families to the sport of ice hockey. Seeing these young players take to the ice for the first time in our gear is a real thrill."
"No sport can match the benefits that hockey provides our youth in terms of fitness, character, discipline and teamwork. We appreciate the opportunity to give back to our local Minnesota communities by providing wider access to this great game," said Michael Benoit, President and CEO of Total Hockey.
