March Madness is nearing its end, and so far, the most exciting tournament in sports has lived up to the hype. This was especially true Saturday when AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (known as Jerry World to NFL fans) hosted both Final Four games, featuring Florida/UConn and Wisconsin/Kentucky. The top-seeded Florida Gators and No. 2 seed Wisconsin Badgers both lost in upset games to the seventh-seeded Huskies and eighth-seeded Wildcats, respectively.
It's hard to determine which loss is worse, but the Gators certainly have a strong case. As pointed out by @NOTSportsCenter:
The basketball Gods gave UF a free pass to the title game by seed (16, 9, 4, 11, & a 7), and the #Gators ripped it up and peed in their hand— NOTSportsCenter (@NOTSportsCenter) April 6, 2014
Florida tanked their final game, losing 63-53, marking the first time all tournament they were unable to reach 60 points. Fortunately for them, there was not a lot of attention on this game as it had the lowest viewership for a Final Four game in over 10 years.
Florida started off the game fairly strong, putting up a 16-4 lead, but then gave a up 21-6 point run to UConn to finish the half. Florida was never able to regain the lead in the second half as UConn's defense locked them down. Florida struggled the entire game shooting, finishing with only 19 baskets on 49 attempts. The Gators seemingly had no solution on how to adjust and adapt to UConn's strategy.

The Gators were led by seniors Patric Young and Casey Prather, who had 19 and 15 points respectively. Not only were they the only two to shoot better than 50 percent, but they also made more than double the number of baskets that the rest of the Florida team made (13 compared to six).
The Huskies were led by junior DeAndre Daniels, who had 20 points on the day. He and three other players all managed to enter double-digit points on their way to victory. The Huskies as a whole made 24-of-43 baskets.
Of course, given the situation for the Gators and the venue, the comparisons to the Dallas Cowboys were inevitable.

One of the more interesting non-basketball related story lines to this game was just how restless and irritable the fans were at this game. It all started in the first half when Jerry Jones was booed after being shown on the stadium's monster TV screen over the court. The booing didn't stop there as multiple other celebrities were shown on the big screen and all got the same treatment:
Jerry Jones gets booed. Dwight Howard gets booed. Drake gets booed. Johnny Manziel gets booed. Lesson: Dallas *hates* famous people.— Andrew Unterberger (@AUgetoffmygold) April 6, 2014
Seeing as how this is nowhere near the most embarrassing moment Jones has suffered at the hands of the big screen, it probably just rolled right off his back. His mind was probably preoccupied with more important things:
Dallas sports fans say Final Four the first time they've been able to watch games at Cowboys Stadium and not worry about a 4th quarter.— The Fake ESPN (@TheFakeESPN) April 6, 2014
With the Husky victory, it marks the first time since the tournament was expanded to 64 teams in 1984 that a No. 7 seed team has made it to the final. They are set up to play the No. 8 seed Kentucky Wildcats, who are only the fourth eighth-seeded team to make it to the final. The last time a No. 8 seed made it, they lost to, of all teams, UConn.
As for Florida, this loss is a huge letdown for the school, especially following a poor year by their football team. Four of their starters were seniors who played their last game one game too soon. This loss also marked their first loss since the beginning of December (30 games). Ironically, their last loss came to the very same UConn Huskies.

I've come to the conclusion after reading that several of tier one sites also have no clue what this setting does. Read the comments on their sites about it. Anandtech, HardOCP, Xbit Labs, Firing Squad and more have no clue what it does. Anandtech even goes as far as saying NVIDIA refuses to provide information about these settings.
1) Firing Squad
It's also worth noting that the latest BIOS from NVIDIA features two obliquely documented settings: P1 and P2. Apparently, they both optimize certain timing settings in the 790i SPP. We found from OCZ, though, that enabling either setting will prevent stable operation at higher memory frequencies. They should thus be left at "Auto" rather than "Enabled."
2) Anandtech
Poor memory read performance above 475FSB unless you enable "P1" and "P2" which NVIDIA refuses to document operation of or provide information about.
3) HardOCP (Forum Post Between Daniel Dobrowolski of HardOCP and a Forum Member)
As long as I didn't touch the P1 and P2 settings I didn't have any issues with it.
Was this in the review?
It isn't. I actually didn't encounter data corruption at all messing with those two settings. What I did experience was instability and no improvement in overclockability. So I simply turned those off. However reading about those two settings I have learned that messing with them is one way to cause data corruption. I have not verified this myself.
The board is no longer in my posession so I'm not going to be able to verify that those two settings do in fact cause data corruption. So I'm relating something I've read in other forums and on other sites. I've read this several times so there may or may not be something to it.
4) XBit Labs
P1 and P2 parameters maybe set to Auto or Enabled. They appeared only in the latest BIOS version that is why there are no descriptions of these parameters in the paper and electronic mainboard manuals. And Memory Timing Setting parameter opens a separate page with adjustable memory timings.
5) OCXtreme
At the very bottom of this page before the Memory Timing Settings we see the elusive P1 and P2 options. These are the much discussed options that appear to be disabled at 475FSB and beyond resulting in horrible memory bandwidth.
Even EVGA doesn't say what the heck it does... All they say is this...
The more recent BIOS's includes two new options that can boost memory performance. These options control internal timing parameters. These options can give a boost to performance at higher FSB and DDR speeds. A setting of "Auto" gives you the best overclocking possible. A setting of "Enabled" gives you the best performance possible.
Does anyone know exactly what the heck the P1 and P2 BIOS settings do?

Now let's consider the results obtained for RAID 1 array:
The best at creating files appeared VIA VT6410 and ITE IT8212F. The first one turned out more efficient for large files, while the second one worked best of all with smaller files. The third position can be given to Promise TX2000, and the very last one – to Promise 133Lite.
File reading appeared equally fast on all four controllers, which doesn't allow us naming any of them the winner. The performance gap between all four controllers is minimal in all five patterns.
File copying within a single partition is carried out faster with VIA VT6410 and ITE IT8212F controllers. Moreover, the latter is more efficient here. The performance of our array appears considerably lower when we use Promise controllers. Note that Promise 133Lite looks a little bit more attractive than its counterpart.
File copying from one partition to another doesn't reveal any significant changes. Like in the previous case, the array performs much faster when it works with VIA VT6410 or ITE IT8212F controllers. The latter is again a bit faster, like in the previous case. And again 133Lite controller from Promise looks more attractive to us.

Monkey with Skull Statue by Rheinhold
Monkey with Skull Statue by Rheinhold. Monkey Holding Skull (Affe mit Schadel, 1892-93): The small, bronze sculpture 'Monkey with skull' or also known as 'Philosophizing Monkey' attracted a great deal of attention at the Berlin Art Exhibition in 1893. It was Rheinhold's first sculpture as a professional sculptor and was an immediate commercial success. The Berlin bronze foundry H. Gladenbeck & Sohn marketed various versions of the adorable monkey. A copy even graced Nikolai Lenin's desk at the Kremlin from 1922 onwards. One of the books the monkey is seated on bears the Biblical quote: Eritis Sicut Deus (Genesis III, 5). 'Thou shalt be as God' which paraphrases the words the serpent spoke to Eve to entice her to taste the apple. Another of the books has the name Darwin, presumably referencing the legendary study by Charles Darwin "On the Origins of Species."

Museum Reproductions Information:
History of Art Reproductions: As far as we know, the history of art reproductions takes us back to Imperial Rome where bronze and marble reproductions of Greek masterpieces served as decoration for lavish Roman Villas and Gardens. The art of casting is thousands of years old: Terracottas, Bronzes and ancient glass were cast from molds. Closer to our time in the mid 18th century coinciding with the search for new artistic styles which took inspiration from the roots of classic art (neoclassicism) and the discovery of Herculaneum in 1738 and Pompeii in 1748, archaeological reproductions reappeared all over Europe. As a result of French expeditions to Egypt during the nineteenth century, a casting facility was set up next to the Louvre Museum where many important archaeological pieces from ancient Egypt were reproduced. Following the example of the Louvre, other leading European museums began to reproduce some of the masterpieces in their collections thus initiating a trend that continues until today.
Art Reproduction Craftsmanship: For the making of art reproductions, masterpieces have been chosen from the best museums all over the world, The Louvre, The British Museum, The National Museum of Athens, The Egyptian Museum Cairo, The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. We only use materials and techniques that can achieve the best quality in reproducing original works of art to obtain very fine pieces, up to the last detail. Our sculptures are cast in a variety of mediums: Bonded Stone, Polyresins, and Bronze. The finish of each reproduction, is always hand-made and showing craftsmanship and historical sense, is the work of an artisan. It is the task to present to the people of today the legacy of those ancient civilizations with all the beauty and mystery of our ancestors again in front of our eyes and at the reach of our hands. There is several steps that must be taken before a museum reproduction sculpture can be made. Most of our items are original artworks created by our sculptors, carved out of clay, stone, or wood. Once the original is carved, a mold is made, usually out of silicon. Crushed stone in a liquid resin medium is poured into a silicon mold where it solidifies into a hard stone that reproduces all the detail and texture of the original. All the finishes are done by hand. Many finishes include color detailing, a labor intensive process where colors are applied with small brushes by our skilled artisans.

Seriously, Saturday I spent the entire day blissed-out in Foodie Heaven. I got back from my 6-mile trail run and Shrek was busy cheffing up his mouthwatering omelets and potatoes. Around noon we hit up Oakland's Eat Real Food Festival with few friends where I ate everything from Chairman Bao chicken and pork buns to Sam's Chowder House lobster rolls and chowder, Mogo Korean burritos, and Phat Matt's BBQ Pork Sliders. In the evening I met up with my tennis girlfriends for drinks at Vintage Wine Merchants and dinner at Thea Mediterranean Restaurant (to be highlighted in another post) on Santana Row.
…Sunday I spent running 6 miles and playing 2.5 hours straight of tennis just to work it all off.
I went to Oakland Eat Real last year and I've gotta say, this year was MUCH better. Why?
- MORE VENDORS. Last year we went on a Sunday, the last day out of the three that the festival is held, and there weren't nearly as many food carts. Also, the vendors that were there only had one item which went fast… You'd wait 15 minutes in a line only to be told the person 5 people up would get the last serving and that was the end of that.
- LESS CROWDS. The fest is held at Jack London Square which also has a farmer's market on Sundays, so it was less crazy on Saturday since it was minus the market crowd.
- PLASTIC. Many vendors including the drink ticket tent accepted plastic instead of cash only. I guess this could be a negative, though, too. I withdraw a specific amount from the ATM so I can only spend so much.
- WINE BARN. I missed the Wine Barn last year. This year, I found it and drank a lovely Zinfandel by R&B Cellars.
I heart food trucks.

- The ultimate honey-do list
- So, about this honey.
- That left me with only one option.
- There would be tie-down straps!
Jeff Ryan takes readers through another adventure on his Iowa farm as he embarks on a mission to find a good place to extract honey.
As George Carlin would say, we needed a place for our stuff. We wanted someplace where we could process honey and we wanted it to be easily accessible and clean enough to use for food production. Lo and behold, a guy named Craig and his list came to the rescue. Someone passed along a link to me of an ad from Craigslist for a small building. It was 10 ft. by 12 ft. and seemed to be just what we needed. It also happened to be located within a few miles of us. Better yet, it was owned by someone I knew. One half of the couple used to cut my hair. The other half of the couple used to be the foreman at the company where our livestock trailer was made. These weren't complete strangers who'd end up murdering me and mailing my carcass fragments in several small business reply envelopes like your average Craigslist consignor would / does. (I checked that on Snopes after I got it in a Fw: Fw: Fw: email. It's not just true, but fairly common. Look it up. "Cause of death: Craigslist" shows up on more death certificates than you think!)
Sherill and I took a short trip to the other side of rural Cresco and checked out the building. It looked like it would suit our needs quite nicely. The price was right, so we decided to take it.
Okay, that was a poor verb choice. We decided to buy it. Big difference. The buying was the easy part. The taking was another matter.
This is a portable building. It's not anchored to a concrete foundation. It's not built with poles stuck in the ground. It's a shed built on two beams with tapered ends. Realistically, a guy could just hook a chain onto that puppy and drag it home. Of course, a guy could just have two splinters left instead of beams by the time it was home, too. Nothing else I've ever dragged down the gravel has ever gotten better as a result. We didn't need to reinvent the wheel here; we just needed to apply the wheel properly.
That's when I went into detective mode. This shed didn't just sprout from the ground where it was, I surmised. It had to get there somehow. Surely it could leave the same way. I'd be hitting the Rewind and Play buttons on my DVR of life.
It got there on a truck, so it could leave on a truck. Get a truck to haul it for me. Preferably, it would be a truck with a hydraulic hoist and a tilt bed. Back up to it, tilt the bed, hook on to it and winch it onto the truck and then leave. Get home and do the whole lather-rinse-repeat process again in reverse. Pretty simple.
Multiple calls were made to people with trucks. A grand total of zero responses were generated. No one else wanted in on this rare opportunity.

FRIAR 2014 is the fourth Conference of this successful series. The conference started at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London 2008 and was reconvened at the Lombardy Region in Milano in 2010 and in Dubrovnik in 2012. Flooding is a global phenomenon that claims numerous lives worldwide each year.
When flooding occurs in populated areas, it can cause substantial damage to property as well as threatening human life. In addition, many more people must endure the homelessness, upset and disruption that are left in the wake of floods. The increased frequency of flooding in the last few years, coupled with climate change predictions and urban development, suggest that these statistics are set to worsen in the future. How we respond and adapt to these challenges is key to developing our long term resilience at the property, community and city scale.
Apart from the physical damage to buildings, contents and loss of life, which are the most obvious impacts of floods upon households, other more indirect losses are often overlooked. These indirect and intangible impacts are generally associated with disruption to normal life as well as longer term health issues including stress related illness. Flooding represents a major barrier to the alleviation of poverty in many parts of the developing world, where vulnerable communities are often exposed to sudden and life threatening events
The conference provides a forum for researchers, academics and practitioners actively involved in improving our understanding of flood events and our approaches to response, recovery and resilience. Conference topics:

Columbia City-based Impact CNC LLC, a production machining company, announced Wednesday afternoon that it plans to add 106 jobs by 2014 as part of a $12.8 million expansion.
The company in northeastern Indiana, about 120 miles from Indianapolis, said the investment will go toward purchasing and equipping a 30,000-square-foot building. The new facility, which should be operational in February, will offer services for clients in the automotive, heavy truck and agricultural industries.
Impact CNC will begin hiring equipment operators, supervisors and support staff within the next few months.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. said it will provide the company up to $550,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $80,000 in training grants based on its job-creation plans.

In the beginning was the word;
and the word was with God;
and the word was God.
Read this passage from John 1.1 closely. Then read it again. Burn it into your brain. This is important. If it wasn't I wouldn't have put it there
Was there ever a absolute void? If there was we can never comprehend it. A total absence of everything (except as an abstract) is incomprehensible simply because our sensory system for collecting information about the world around us operates within a linear frame of ever-progressive Time where cause precedes effect. In our world not even the tiniest "something" can pop into existence from a Universe of absolute nothing.

14 Iowa Conference team titles
CEDAR RAPIDS— Central College captured a regular season victory over the University of Dubuque but Friday night the Spartans avenged the loss and handed the Dutch a 5-1 defeat in the Iowa Conference men's tennis tournament.
The Dutch (11-11) took a 6-3 win from the Spartans back in April. Dubuque (15-9) was better prepared this time.
"We knew Dubuque would be ready for us and they played better than we did up top," coach Steve Tyler said. "I tip my hat to them. They played very well."
Central's lone win came at No. 3 doubles, an 8-2 victory by Tim Kahl (freshman, Grinnell) and John Seier (sophomore, Waverly, Neb.).
"John had the first serve and did great and Dubuque immediately broke," Tyler said. "Then Tim served well and we went up 3-0 and really started to cruise. It was nice to see from a freshman and sophomore."
Zane Hendricks (sophomore, Fort Dodge) battled at No. 4 singles, going up 5-2 in the first set before suffering a 7-5, 6-1 loss. Collin Schares (freshman, Johnston) also had a tight match at No. 3 singles. He won the first set 6-3, lost the second 6-0 and was behind 3-2 in the third before the match was called.
Singles matches at Nos. 5 and 6 were also left unfinished once Dubuque captured five wins, enough to clinch the team win.
"Our strength is our depth and Dubuque got to five before we could really roll out our fifth and sixth singles players," Tyler said. "We had to have life to give them time on the court and they didn't get very far into their matches."
In a quick turnaround, Central takes on Cornell College (13-11) for fifth place Saturday at 9 a.m. in Cedar Rapids. The Rams defeated the Dutch 6-3 two weeks ago.
"We have to come back tomorrow and try to knock off Cornell," Tyler said. "We'll be ready to play."

Freutcamp Summer 2014
Last October I embarked on a new venture that was 100% out of my comfort zone, I taught a class on blogging! Let me tell you, it's one thing to sit behind a computer talking about this stuff and an entirely different thing to stand up in front of a classroom filled with your peers and speak with any sort of conviction. To my great relief the class was a huge success, I had so much more to share than I could have possibly imagined, and the attendees created a little community of ladies that I have grown to know and love. Today I am excited to announce that I will be hosting a second installment of Freutcamp this Summer at Darling Magazine's Headquarters in Los Angeles, California. I hope you will be part of it!
WHAT IS FREUTCAMP: Freutcamp is a branding, social media & business bootcamp for bloggers. The goal of Freutcamp is to give bloggers, small business owners, and creative individuals of all levels the tools needed to run a better, more successful, and creative blog. Class will cover the basics of branding, tips for better social media usage, information on monetizing your blog, how to approach working with sponsors, finding a unique voice in the blogging world, and tons of creative inspiration. As a graphic designer and brand social media manager I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with you!
SCHEDULE: We are all too busy for our own good, am I right? That's why I have been working to reduce the class down to just the best parts, leaving you more time for what really matters, your blogs! Summer Freutcamp will kick off with a Friday night mixer on June 20th followed by a FULL day workshop on Saturday, June 21st. No Photoshop skills taught this time around, just all the other important business, branding and social media you could possibly need for running a better blog. (more info here)
LOCATION: I am thrilled to announce that Summer's Freutcamp will be held at Darling Magazine's Headquarters in Los Angeles, California.
TICKETS: 25 seats will be available and tickets go on sale Wednesday, April 16th at 8:00am PST. Because Wednesday is tax day, oy vey, I'm setting aside a limited number of tickets (10) for $199 with the discount code TAXRELIEF from April 16th-20th. Regular priced tickets will be $299. Tickets are available at www.freutcamp.com
BONUS: I promise to make Freutcamp a fun, informative, inspirational, and exciting event for all who attend! I have lots of surprises planned and guest speakers TBA. I hope you will consider purchasing a ticket and joining the camp. If you have any questions please feel free to email email@example.com

Lyle, Brodie Battle at Center Stage of Iroquois, Canada Bout
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com |
Twitter | McLaughlin Archive | World Lacrosse
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – On a turf field in Denver, under the Sunday night lights and in front of a crowd of more than 6,000 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, Team Canada's Brodie Merrill chased Iroquois attackman Lyle Thompson around for 80 minutes in a matchup that brought the 32-year-old defenseman's mind back 10 years ago, when his college self at Georgetown marked Syracuse superstar Mikey Powell.
Electric dodges, jaw-dropping sizzle and momentum-swinging moments during an Iroquois comeback from a five-goal third-quarter deficit to tie with eight minutes left, put Thompson in the company of a Brodie nemesis who tended to do the same thing back then. They might as well have been in the Carrier Dome.
"It reminded me of matching up with a guy like Mike Powell," said Merrill, the two-time All-World pick and six-time Major League Lacrosse defensive player of the year. "You try to stay in the moment and keep it simple. If you focus too much on being defensive, he's going to expose you. You just want to be aggressive and force him to bad spots. Easier said than done, right?"
If arguably the world's top defensive player says it, it must be true. Merrill and the 21-year-old Thompson were center stage in a heavyweight Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championship pool play bout that left the crowd buzzing, players emotionally and physically drained and everyone asking for more after Canada held on for a 9-8 win. There might be a rematch in the medal round, if expectations hold. But for now, the memories of Round 1 will resonate as an instant classic.
The decision to move Thompson from midfield to attack in the second half, with Merrill following right along from long-stick midfield to close defense, changed the complexion of the game. The Iroquois, held back by seven first-half penalties, allowed six straight scores and trailed 6-1 at halftime and 8-3 midway through the third quarter. They generally couldn't get much going on offense, with Merrill roaming all over the field and the rest of the Canada defense playing aggressive, too. The switch flipped the script.
"You try to stay in the moment and keep it simple. If you focus too much on being defensive, he's going to expose you."
– Team Canada defenseman Brodie Merrill on Lyle Thompson
Playing with his older brother Miles and budding Syracuse star Randy Staats, Lyle took over and fueled the five-goal flurry, with two of his own including a series of events that will go down in the lacrosse lore.
What was better: A fading away behind-the-back pass to himself, with Merrill draped all over him, which nearly resulted in score? "It just comes natural," Thompson said. "One of the things from playing with your stick all the time. I don't plan it or anything. He was bottom side on me with my stick hanging and I was falling backwards, so I kind of just threw it and got a good shot off."
Or the dodge from point-behind that immediately followed on the restart, capped by the wraparound finishing move Thompson made so popular during a record-breaking year at Albany this season? Iroquois coach Steve Beville leapt off the turf as the ball hit net, and the bench and crowd roared. "I knew he was tired there," Lyle said of Merrill. "And honestly, I was pretty tired. I just went at him and I saw he didn't have a back up crease side, where they were sliding from. I just came around and did the move I've been doing all season."
And suddenly Merrill was now victim of what he had seen on TV plenty of times before.
"It's one of those things where you feel like you're in good position," he said. "When he drops his stick down, you almost feel like you can get a check in. It's a little bit deceptive. You just live with that. You know he's got that capability. You try to limit to easy looks for him. If he can pull those off, then you have to tip your cap to him."
It's the little things that the great ones pick up on. Just as Merrill recognized a little drop of the stick perhaps, Thompson, owner of the NCAA Division I men's single-season record for points with 128 this season, said he tried to avoid doing exactly that during the matchup with a defender he knew and respected. Merrill has covered a who's who of lacrosse's best offensive talents over his career. And as the stars and time aligned, his career has now bridged one once-in-a-generation player, Powell, to another in Thompson.
"In college, I usually like to bait a defender with my stick and hope he goes for it," Thompson said. "At this level, with Team Canada and Team USA, you can't do those types of things. I was just focused on making him work. I think I did. Coaches told me to make him work. He seemed pretty tired at the end of the game. We were trying to attack him."
"Tired," was the exact response from Merrill after the game when asked how he was doing. The tank was empty after darting all over, applying checks and ranging for ground balls. He often bent over to rest his hands on his knees during stops in the action. After Thompson's two-goal run, puncuated by the highlight-reel variety for his third goal of the night, cut the Canada lead to 8-6, Craig Point and Randy Staats scored a pair of extra-man goals, the latter that tied it with 8:19 remaining.
Canada continued to win faceoffs, but the Iroquois picked up the intensity on the wings and ride. Merrill, out of contention on the faceoff unit playing close defense, could only watch as he and Thompson stood just over the restraining line. At some point, the sights of the show convinced Beville that Thompson will play attack the rest of the tournament, and "we'll piecemeal our midfield and do what we have to do," he said. "We just felt it was necessary and it made a huge difference for us." The Iroquois had been running Thompson through the midfield, with plenty of talent available on attack and the coaching staff looking to give Lyle a break at times.
"We kind of expected him to go down and play attack," Merrill said. "My focus changes a little bit more to a defensive role where when I'm up top I can roam a little bit more. I think he's probably a little bit more comfortable down there. He's got good chemistry with those other two attackmen. He's on the field all the time. That definitely changed momentum. I thought they were very good on the ground. That was a big difference. We just prolonged possessions because we couldn't pick up the ball."
Zach Miller dinged a clean look off the pipe, Canada goalie Dillon Ward came up with one of his 10 saves, Jason Noble drew the Thompson assignment for a time as picks were made, and Miles Thompson fed a crashing Jerome "Haina" Thompson driving to the crease, and he just missed on a shot, all within a three-minute stretch after the Iroquois tied the score. Chemistry? Oh, yes. Lyle Thompson could be heard yelling "Randall," voicing Staats' full first name to have him come set a pick.
The fans rose to their feet with a standing ovation after a timeout was called. During it, Thompson, who arrived at Albany three years ago as a shy, reserved, talk-to-you-if-you-talk-to-me type, asserted himself in the huddle.
"I was feeling it," he said. "I got a couple looks dodging from X and I just told everybody kind of where they were sliding from and what to look for, when I'm dodging from X and when I come to my left side, basically what we do at Albany, what to look for and where to be."
But he never got another chance. On the possession out of the timeout, an errant pass went to the midfield line and the Iroquois were called for a push. With 19.4 seconds left, Jeremy Noble took advantage of a slipping defender and fed Curtis Dickson for the go-ahead goal for Canada. It was their only goal in the last 29 minutes.
Geoff Snider won the ensuing faceoff on procedure – he won 12 of 19 overall – and after a restart in the waning seconds was marred by two unnecessary roughness penalties and three unsportsmanlike conducts spread among three Iroquois and two Canadians, time ran out, and the ball never made it back to Lyle Thompson's stick, or anyone else's.
"I didn't get a chance to go at him one last time," Lyle said of facing Brodie.
Who knows what would have happened then?

Uniq saga draws to a close with giant pensions deal
The £830m Uniq plc Pension Scheme, whose financial troubles nearly sunk its parent company, a small dairy-foods group, has sold itself to the pensions insurer Rothesay Life, bringing to an end a complicated three-year financial saga.
Uniq, a food manufacturer descended from Unigate Dairies, found itself in serious financial difficulties in 2008. This was largely due to the £1bn pension liability it inherited from Unigate, which came with only about £600m in assets.
Uniq had a market capitalisation of £100m going into the financial crisis - and as soon as shareholders realised the scale of the pensions bill, this tumbled rapidly to £6m.
Uniq's management and pension trustees came up with a radical solution. The company - or at least a 90% stake in it - was sold to its own pension fund, in return for an agreement whereby the fund gave up all future claims on Uniq's finances. Uniq's existing shareholders held onto the remaining 10%.
Freed from the pensions millstone, Uniq was sold to Greencore, a larger European foods group, in July, netting about £100m for the scheme. The final asset value of £830m has been reached thanks to a steady rise in the gilt market throughout the latter half of this year.
Chris Martin, a professional trustee with Independent Trustee Services who chairs the Uniq scheme, said: "We have been 100% invested in gilts in order to match the insurance buyout price as closely as possible. Our assets have gone up and so has the cost of buyout - but we've immunised ourselves against that."
This morning's deal with Rothesay Life, which is the specialist pensions insurer owned by US bank Goldman Sachs, is one of the last acts in this long-running tale - though Martin cautions that the final T's will not be crossed until sometime in 2013.
But today, Uniq's trustees have agreed to hand over the £830m of scheme assets to Rothesay in return for a guarantee the members' pensions will be paid.
Because the orphaned scheme is still in deficit, they will not get the full value of what they were promised. But they will get at least as much as they would have if the Uniq scheme had been rescued by the government's Pension Protection Fund, which pays roughly 90% of benefits for most members.
Aaron Punwani and Richard Mills, two partners at consultancy Lane Clark & Peacock who helped arrange the transaction, said there was even a possibility Uniq members might get more: "The policy also gives the trustee significant flexibility, if it proves possible, to provide a top-up to members' benefits in due course."
The deal is the second announced by Rothesay Life in two working days, following a £150m partial buyout of the TI Group scheme on Friday. These pensions deals have been difficult to get away in 2011 because they usually depend on pension-plans being in surplus - but Rothesay says it has developed a special process to cope with volatile markets.
The pensions consultancy JLT, which owns Martin's ITS, also put out figures this morning showing that £3.85bn's worth of buyout deals have been done in 2011. Their figures include all deals up to the end of September, which means Rothesay's two most recent transactions won't be included.
This year's buyout total of £4bn-plus is unlikely now to exceed the £5.3bn signed in 2010, during a period of financial-market recovery.
With both TI Group and with Uniq, Rothesay set in place a "target-driven" buyout that executed the transactions as soon as the value of the pension schemes' portfolios rose to a point where they matched Rothesay's price.

Winter, meet your new nemesis: Our long down puffer coat is a cold-weather rebel, designed to insulate (even when you can't remember what the sun feels like). A roomy hood retains extra degrees while a waist-nipping belt makes the silhouette flattering. We don't think keeping warm should mean becoming a human sleeping bag.

Wintress belted puffer coat
Wintress belted puffer coat is rated out of 5 by 31224.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sara from Nice style, good fit Bought the puffer coat 2 months ago. When I first put it on, I noticed the odor that had been mentioned in many previous reviews. But I really like the style and fit, so I decided to give it a few days to see if the odor would go away. And it did! All I did was to hang the coat in a well-ventilated area for a couple of days. The coat is very stylish and light. It's warm enough for 25-degree weather.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BerrySweet from Perfect for extreme weather I got a trip to New York and needed an outfit for its extremely cold weather (20° F). I am very glad that I had survived. This coat not just made me feel warm but also great and confident with style. Although I live in the west coast and probably won't wear it often, I imagine I would keep it for a long time specially for travel in cold weather.

Rated 5 out of 5 by EDREW from Puffer I need a fashionable puffer coat for an upcoming trip and picked this one. I am so happy with my purchase. It is very warm and has a flattering cut. Previous reviews mentioned a smell with this coat, but that was not my experience. It does fit more snug through the bust, but I still chose to go with my true size and can comfortably wear a sweater underneath.
