POMONA – Marlena Martinez and five fellow students from the School of Arts and Enterprise were given an assignment early this school year.
The assignment was to create a short video focusing on teen driver safety issues.
The students went to work and came up with "The Choice is Yours" a public service announcement that depicts a teenage girl who attends a party and begins drinking alcohol.
A counter helps the viewer keep track of every bad decision the girl makes including getting in a car and driving.
Eventually the teen is involved in an automobile crash.
The message Martinez and her fellow film makers are trying to convey "is that every decision counts," she said.
The video earned the students first place in the "Teen Driver Challenge" a contest organized by the Pomona Police Department with the help of grant from State Farm Insurance.
About 100 students from four Pomona high schools participated in the contest, said Cpl. JT Garcia of the Pomona Police Department's traffic services bureau.
"We saw some (videos) that were rudimentary to some that were very well-produced," Garcia said.
However, all had one thing in common.
"They all sent the correct message," he said.
The contest, something the police department conducted for the first time, "goes to the educational side of traffic," Garcia said.
The traffic bureau has programs for younger children such as its annual Bike Rodeo through which young bike riders learn about traffic safety. The bureau also puts on "Every 15 Minutes" a program that moves around to a different high school each year and depicts the dangers of drinking and driving.
The contest offered teens different educational program that they could participate in at a deeper level by bringing attention to dangerous behavior including drunken driving, cell phone use, speeding and distractions from teen passengers.
Studies indicate fewer teen drivers are on the road in part due to the poor economy but law enforcement authorities are still seeing increases in traffic collisions involving teenagers, Garcia said.
To raise awareness in teens of the dangers of driving while drunk or while distracted there is nothing better than the help of other teens.
When youth talk to their peers about refrain from engaging in dangerous behavior the message will carry more weight than if it came from adults.
Youth "tend to send a stronger message to their own peer groups," Garcia said. "The impact is great."
James Oh teaches 12th grade English at the School of Arts and Enterprise in addition to film making, which is an elective course at the school.
When the school administration approached Oh with information about the contest he selected six students who had been part of last school year's pilot film making class.
"They had all the basic skills," Oh said.
He gave the team certain parameters to work with since the students didn't have access to elaborate camera equipment.
The students then set off to work and handled every aspect of the project on their own, Oh said. They had a month to plan, shoot, edit and submit their entry to the police department.
It was done "all in a relatively short amount of time," he said.
Martinez, who served as the producer of the team, said she welcomed the project.
"I was really excited because it was going to be something more challenging," she said.
Students developed the concept for their video executed it and contacted businesses such as Cole-Schaffer Ambulance who participated in the project.
"Overall our video was pretty realistic," Martinez said.
The final product conveys a message for young people, she said.
"I think it could definitely get to some people," Martinez said.
Garcia said a total of seven videos were entered in the contest and the first, second and third place winners recognized during a recent awards luncheon attended by all the participants.
The prizes consist of scholarships – $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place and $500 for third place – with each prize to be split up among each teams' members, Garcia said.
Also, each of the participating schools will receive a $675 prize to go toward a school program such as art or video production, he said.
The Police Department was able to offer the prizes along with the awards luncheon with the help of State Farm's grant.
The contest was a success and members of the police department would like to hold it again but they cannot do until it they can raise the money through grants or some other means, Garcia said.

The only fixture of the day in Division Two was at the Beeches, Shaw where relegation-threatened sides Melksham Town A and Calne Eagles met for a second time this term.
Eagles, who had not won since the middle of September, put their disastrous run of results behind them with a convincing 3-0 win over their hosts to avenge their earlier defeat.
The game was in doubt before the kick-off as the referee was unconvinced that the pitch would stand up to 90 minutes of football.
One half of the pitch was perfectly playable, but the other half was a quagmire. Nonetheless, with both teams keen to play, the decision was made to press ahead with the game. Calne Eagles won the toss and decided to defend in the bog during the first half.
Melksham looked dangerous early on. They used the width of the pitch well and put some good balls into the Calne penalty area, which resulted in some numerous bits of last-ditch defending from the away side.
They also had goalkeeper Andy Windsor to thank when he made a sharp double save from Dan Barnett and Will Jacob.
At the other end Calne were showing the confidence and quality on the ball that they had displayed last week against league leaders Steeple Ashton.
And it was this neat team play that presented both Adam Bewley and Matt Richards with good chances to score, but on both occasions they were denied by good saves from goalkeeper Jamie Higdon.
Unfortunately however, the keeper had a moment to forget on 30 minutes when he let a shot from Sam Rogers squirm between his legs and into the net.
This gave Calne a boost and they doubled their lead five minutes later when Stuart Windsor played a magnificent 50 yard pass to put Adam Bewley clean through on goal to score for the second successive week.
Just before half time Melksham had a good shout for a penalty turned down when Calne centre back Roy Wenham clipped the legs of winger Dave Copland just inside the box.
Right at the start of the second half Calne completed the 3-0 scoreline with their best goal this season. Shaun Jefferies ran onto Adam Bewley's flicked header to riffle home an unstoppable shot from just inside the left hand side of the penalty area, leaving Jamie Higdon in goal no chance whatsoever.
For a period straight after making it 3-0 it looked like Calne might run riot as Melksham's defence struggled in the mud. Bewley looked to have scored his second of the day when he latched onto Jefferies' through ball, chipping the ball over the keeper into the net.
However, after initially awarding the goal the referee disallowed it following a discussion with the linesman. Recent signing Rory Davis was also creating problems for the home defence with his excellent movement and good use of the ball.
Late in the game Melksham enjoyed a period of pressure, but they were unable to breach Calne's resolute backline and the away side held on for a well-earned and much needed three points.

In this classic French horror film the wife of a cruel headmaster and his mistress conspire to kill him, but after the murder is committed, his body disappears, and strange events begin to plague the two women.
"The morbid fascination starts building before the picture is ten minutes gone. By the time it is rolling toward a climax it is spreading the most delicious chills. It is a pip of a murder thriller, ghost story and character play rolled into one."

Monday, October 10 at 12:00 pm
Belk Library, Room 421
Join us for a presentation on Appalachian's continuing programs for its American Cultural Center (ACC) at Northeastern University, Shenyang, China and for other ACCs in China. Co-PIs Xiaorong Shao and Allan Scherlen (Library) and collaborator Matthew Robinson (Government and Justice Studies) will share highlights of this year's theme of Academic Writing, in which graduate students at several universities in China participated in both online and in-person workshops. Geri Purpur (Library) will highlight her experience as this year's exchange librarian at Fudan University in Shanghai.
Begun in 2012 with an initial $100,000 grant from the U.S. State Department, Appalachian has continued its American Culture Center projects in China with three subsequent $50,000 annual grants that have shared scholarly expertise in such areas as sustainability and American culture and history. Appalachian's collaboration with several Chinese universities through the ACC projects has provided opportunities for students and faculty at both institutions to learn about each other's culture and discuss issues of common interest.
So come hear from those who have been involved in this past year's ACC program and the University Library's cooperation with Chinese university libraries. You may be interested in participating in the program in the future.
Chinese snacks and tea will be served.
Dr. Victoria Jackson is the 2016-2017 Rhinehart Postdoctoral Fellow in British History. She will spend the academic year at Appalachian researching in the Rhinehart Rare Book Collection on British History in Special Collections and writing a book on practices of dining in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Britain.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash Reviews
Like it.I like this stuff, it doesn't dry my skin and it clears my skin, although I only have mild acne. You can feel it penetrating the pores, but it's not too intense. My skin is sensitive and this stuff is decent. I like that it's thick because I after I rub it around my face, I leave it in as a mask for about a minute. I probably can live without it, it doesn't keep my completely clear. If I find something that sounds better I'll probably switch to that instead. — 6 years, 5 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Works..I got this for my husband because he has had mild to moderate acne for many years but never did anything about it. I hated seeing his skin like that especially because he picks at every little blemish he gets which leaves him scars, so I got this for him along with the Power scrub to use one in the morning and the other at night. He loves the way they make his face feel so fresh and clean. It took...read more some time, but after a few weeks his breaks outs have greatly decreased, but they have not gone away completely so that is why I am giving this only 8 stars. I use another Neutrogena product that contains benzoyl peroxide which has worked well for me but dries out my skin a bit so I would like to try this one next because I hear that it is a little more gentle on the skin. This has not dried out my husbands skin at all so this product is pretty good. — 4 years, 1 month agonelly_recinos | 139 reviews

Decent.I could definetly live without this stuff. It did nothing for my skin but clean it. However, it did leav my skin verry clean, and refreshed which I really liked! But it did nothing for my acne..if anything, it made it worse. It wasn't all that drying, which was good considering I have dry skin. Overall, a decent product :) I actually liked the toner that came with it a lot! — 6 years, 1 month agolanigaga | 113 reviews
So awesome.I love this face wash. It's cooling and tingly and so creamy. And it definition doesn't dry out my combination skin. It also helped resolve my acne within a week or two of using it, and I've been using it religiously ever since. — 2 years, 9 months agostephanie_dragoman | 53 reviews

Can of Worms: series finale, Channel Ten, 8.30pm
I'M GLAD Can of Worms was given a second chance (and a third, by being included in next year's schedule). It's a show that continues to evolve and, while not every episode fires, I have to say I'd watch this over Q&A any day, not least because it reliably delivers honest opinions, and usually on subjects I'm actually interested in. Chrissie Swan has also more than proven herself as host this year. She has a wonderfully warm, relaxed screen presence. Importantly, she's also a very effective moderator, gently but persistently bringing her interlocutors back to the point. Like all such shows, the quality varies depending on the guests, and the topics. So while some episodes have been a bit ho-hum, some have been crackers, and some topics have really resonated. What you can count on is all matters will be discussed intelligently, and from a range of perspectives.
What Killed Arafat?, ABC News 24, 9.30pm
BY CALLING this What Killed Arafat? rather than Who Killed Arafat? this comprehensive documentary from Al Jazeera at least pretends it's keeping an open mind. But it's clear from the outset that ''old age'' was never going to be the answer. Instead, armed with Yasser Arafat's complete medical records this investigation attempts to answer why the Palestinian leader was in rude health one day, and dead a month later. The answers lead widow Suha Arafat to ask for a judicial inquiry, and for her husband's body to be exhumed. So if this isn't the most scintillating piece of filmmaking, it's certainly a powerful one. It's also a reminder that the Arab news network is lavishly resourced, and capable of the kind of resource-intensive investigative journalism ABC News 24 can only dream of.
Hit & Miss, ABC2, 9.30pm
SOMETIMES, it's good to know nothing about a show. Certainly when I tuned in to this latest Paul Abbott brainchild last week, I was shocked and delighted in equal measure. First: Chloe Sevigny. I love Chloe Sevigny, both for her warped on-screen presence, and her left-field choice of roles. Then: Chloe Sevigny as a hitman. Cool. And then … Chloe Sevigny as a hitman WHO IS ACTUALLY A MAN. Or at least a man trying to become a woman. Who, if that wasn't enough, becomes guardian to the feral children of her former lover, one of whom is her son. The inchoate yearnings of Mia (Sevigny) feel achingly real, as do the confusion and hostility and equally powerful yearnings of the kids.
The X Factor, Channel Seven, 7.30pm
THEY say big notes win votes and, as this competition hurtles towards its finale, we're certainly getting plenty of those. The other thing that wins votes is ''relatability'' in the contestants, and nothing demonstrates the demographic of The X Factor like the acts who just keep on winning - or losing - regardless of the quality of their performance. (I've really been feeling Guy Sebastian's tetchy bewilderment as his crew are voted off one by one.) Anyhoo, it's a big night tonight as the final four sing-off to decide who goes in to the grand final.
Person of Interest, Channel Nine, 9.30pm
''YOU are being watched,'' Michael Emerson's Mr Finch intones over the opening credits. It's an interesting concept, especially given the baying in some quarters for more security cameras on our own streets. Because as Mr Finch also points out, unless you have a giant steampunk sci-fi computer like he does, all those cameras wont prevent crimes. They'll only help solve them. And only if someone cares. Luckily, he a) cares; b) has a giant steampunk sci-fi computer; and c) a remarkably capable offsider in Mr Reese (Jim Caviezel), who can sneak around shooting people or snapping their necks before said crime can be committed. For better or worse, though, all that still exists only on the small screen in this flawed but always interesting series, in which each episode is always packed with ideas.

Murphy 'a nightmare matchup' for defenses
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 5:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 5:02 p.m.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When it happened Wednesday, it didn't really faze Billy Donovan. In the Season of The Injury, all he could do was shrug.
Photo Galleries
But later that night, Donovan had to think about a game plan without Erik Murphy.
The senior forward had felt a sharp pain in his right knee during a drill early in Wednesday's practice. He was taken to the trainer's room and it was still bothering him. An MRI showed there was no structural damage, but Donovan still had to wonder if he'd be able to go Friday in Florida's first game of the SEC Tournament.
"I was concerned because our trainers were concerned," Donovan said. "It was bizarre because he just kind of planted his foot and felt a sharp pain. I was thinking that if he couldn't go Thursday, we had to change what we planned to do."
But after an MRI came up clean, Murphy could go through non-contact practice Thursday, and on Friday he was in the starting lineup wearing a blue sleeve on his right knee.
And then, he went out and showed why he is the X-factor in Florida's postseason.
Murphy did it from the outside and the inside. He made 5 of 7 from the 3-point line and 6 of 8 shots in the paint. His 27 points were a career high, and he scored them despite playing only 25 minutes.
And he grabbed 12 rebounds, securing his second straight double-double and only the third of his career.
"Shots were falling," he said. "I'm just trying to have extra focus (rebounding), and I have just happened to have these games."
You could point to a number of reasons why he had a career game Friday, including LSU's undersized guards and lack of a true power forward. Or maybe it's that the end of his college career appears to have brought a realization of what he's capable of doing.
"It took us awhile with him," Donovan said. "He understands now what's happening in the switching action and who is on him."
It seems simple enough. Little guy on you, take it inside. Big guy on you, take the 3.
It worked to perfection against LSU, a team that had won 10 of its last 15 games.
"He puts the defense on their toes," said LSU's Charles Carmouche. "It's a tough matchup."
"A nightmare matchup," said LSU coach Johnny Jones.
Or maybe it was just that Murphy has improved as his career has gone along. He went from a guy who was thinking about transferring two years ago to a guy who is the crucial player for Florida in March. And even within this season, we have seen a jump in his toughness and ability with the ball around the basket.
Sometimes you watch him play and wonder why Florida doesn't make him the guy every time the ball comes down the court. Murphy could be a 25-point-a-game scorer if Florida decided to lean on him.
But that's not what Donovan is trying to accomplish. His goal is a team that moves the ball around and in and out and back around until there's a good shot. It doesn't matter who is taking it.
But when Murphy has it going like he did Friday, it's hard not to look for him.
"His 3s were more the other guys feeding him," Donovan said.
Friday wasn't just Murphy's Show. But when he is playing like that, well, we remember when all of the college basketball experts were in love with Florida in January. That's what this game felt like.
It was over by the half and could have used a running clock in the last five minutes to get it over with. We remember those Gators. The 17-assists Gators. The 51-percent-shooting Gators. The rebounding, defending, winning the paint Gators.
Today will be a tougher test against a bigger and more physical team.
If Murphy plays like he did Friday, it won't matter.

Premature Infant: Safe Travel With Your BabySkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
After your infant is discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), you may need to take special precautions for car travel.
In most cases the safest way for a healthy premature infant to travel is by car seat.footnote 1 But some premature infants cannot sit in a car seat without slouching over, which interferes with their breathing and oxygen supply. Before discharging your infant from the hospital, the NICU staff will monitor for breathing and oxygen problems while your infant sits in your car seat. If he or she "fails" the car seat test, a car bed will be needed for transport until your infant is stronger. Many hospitals have car beds available to rent or lend.
If your infant is sent home with oxygen, a monitor, or other supportive technology, secure the equipment under a vehicle seat or on the floor during travel.

Ice mountains and the mysteries of gloop will intrigue some of Otley's youngest scientists next week.
A Silly Science Toddler Time, organised by Otley Children's Centre, will kick off the fifth Otley Science Festival, at Otley Courthouse, on Monday.
The week-long celebration will also feature talks by leading academics, a gadgets-filled discussion of gravity by the BBC One Show's Marty Jopson, and an all-day fair with programmable robots.
But first up is Monday's toddlers event, which has been specially designed for the under-fives, and will include living ant hills and 'feely boxes'.
Otley Children's Centre's Liz Oddy said: "From a very early age children are natural scientists, using their senses to investigate and explore the world around them, and the earliest years in a child's life are absolutely critical.
"This is the first time there has been an event targeting the under-fives at the science festival, and it will be a wonderful opportunity for families to come along with their children and take part.
"There will be lots of things to do as everything is interactive, so children will be able to experience sensory lighting in our dark tent, see our live ant hill, make patterns in the foam and lots more.
"And there will be plenty of information for parents so they can continue the fun at home."
This year's festival will also include a talk on The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Science, by the BBC's Professor Jim Al-Khalili, and a special festival science cafe featuring presentations by three scientists on topics including the potentially planet-saving properties of Thorium and extraterrestrial life.
There will be two shows for primary school children – The Big Bug Experience, which will let visitors touch tarantulas and scorpions, and The Really Heavy Show, where Dr Jopson will use crossbows and tomatoes to explain gravity.
The festival will end with a science fair packed with demonstrations, stalls and appearances by famous scientists from days gone by on November 17, from 10am to 4pm.

A man says his marriage was put under strain when a hospital incorrectly diagnosed him with genital herpes.
Paul Jones, 47, of Kelvedon, claims doctors told him he had a sexually transmitted infection, without performing swab tests.
After his complaint, he was correctly diagnosed with a bacterial infection.
But to make matters worse, Mr Jones says doctors at Colchester General Hospital botched his circumcision, leaving him in constant pain.
A spokesman for Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust said: "We are sorry and disappointed Mr Jones has some concerns about his care and treatment.
"He has made a formal complaint and we will respond with our findings as soon as we have completed our investigation."

LSU basketball's Anthony Hickey and Johnny O'Bryant were sidelined for Friday night's game against Houston Baptist, but coach Johnny Jones sounded optimistic the standout sophomores would be back in action for the Tigers after their seven-day break.
Without disclosing the nature of an injury O'Bryant suffered in a pre-Christmas loss at Marquette, Jones said X-rays on the injury were negative.
Jones did not play O'Bryant in the 75-58 victory over Houston Baptist after watching him attempt to practice Thursday and again Friday afternoon in LSU's game-day workout.
"I didn't think he was up to speed to go out there tonight and be effective," Jones said after the game. "Even if we had a conference game or whatever, he wouldn't have played tonight, because I didn't think he was able to go at a high enough percentage to be effective defensively or offensively for us."
Jones said O'Bryant likely wouldn't practice with the team Friday, but he indicated the 6-foot-9 forward would probably play next Saturday against Bethune-Cookman at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Hickey was held out Friday because of disciplinary action, marking the fifth time this season the point guard's status with the Tigers was publicly affected by off-court issues.
Jones has taken Hickey out of uniform for three games (including an exhibition contest against Arkansas-Monticello) and limited his playing time in two others because of conduct not related to basketball.
But he allowed Hickey to practice with the team Friday and sit on the bench with his teammates for the game that night.
Jones said Hickey would practice with the team again Saturday.
"We're hopeful we'll have him back in uniform on Saturday," Jones said. "He's just got to stay the course. When he's focused, I think he's one of the better players on our team. We just got to make sure we can get him to where he's a focused individual and can be a help for us."
Stringer keeps shooting
When the Tigers opened a three-game road swing at Boise State earlier this month, Andre Stringer had his worst performance of the season, connecting on one of 10 shots from the field and finishing with just five points.
Such performances may have affected the junior guard's confidence in years past.
Not now.
Stringer led LSU in scoring the following two games, scoring 19 points in a win at UC Irvine and finishing with 20 in a narrow loss at Marquette. He took 14 shots against Irvine and 12 more against Marquette.
"In a couple of games at the start of the year, I wasn't shooting like I am now, but I stayed confident because I put the time in in the gym and after practice," Stringer said. "Shots go down for me, and I like to see them go in. I think that's what keeps me confident."
In the victory over Houston Baptist, Stringer was 5-of-8 for 11 points in the first half, helping LSU build a 36-25 lead.
Although he did not score (and attempted only two shots) in the second half, his 11 points matched Jalen Courtney and Shavon Coleman for the team high.
It marked the fourth time in five December games Stringer either led the team in scoring or matched its the high-point total.
Odo sighting
O'Bryant and Hickey weren't the only Tigers who watched Friday's game in warmup gear.
Also on the bench was John Odo, a 6-10 junior-college transfer who arrived on campus the day after Christmas and began practicing with LSU late last week. He won't be able to suit up for the Tigers until next fall, but Jones believes Odo will have an impact on the team regardless.
Odo will enroll at LSU next month and continue practicing with the Tigers for the remainder of the season.
"When you add someone like John Odo, it's going to really help us," Jones said. "I think it's going to help Johnny get better. At the same time, Andrew (Del Piero) and all of them will get better because of his presence out there on the floor and what he's capable of doing."
Odo signed with LSU in the fall as part of the 2014 recruiting class.
Ludwig gets his shot
A starter for LSU the first four games of the season, senior forward Eddie Ludwig had gone six straight games without seeing double-digit minutes.
He played 22 minutes against Houston Baptist, scoring a season-high nine points to go with four rebounds.
Jones said Ludwig, the only player on the roster who has been in the program four seasons, has done a good job of being patient and waiting for his turn to come.
"I think all those guys would like to play more, but I think Eddie has done an exceptional job of coming to practice every day, working hard and continuing to get better," Jones said. "By the end of the season, I think some great things are going to happen for him and to us."
Block party
The Tigers blocked 13 shots Friday night, the first time LSU has finished with double-digit blocks since blocking 12 shots Feb. 4 against Arkansas.
Del Piero and Coleman each had four blocks to lead the way.
The Tigers came only two blocks shy of reaching 15 in a game for the first time since the 2008-09 season.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2013 (1383 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the end, the underdog just wasn't meant to have its day, as the University of Manitoba Bisons football squad dropped the Canada West championship 43-28 to the dominant Calgary Dinos, thus ending their Vanier Cup dreams.
The game, held at Calgary's McMahon Stadium, played out as the stats might have predicted: though both teams brandished their offensive weapons, the Bisons struggled to shut down the Dinos' running and passing game. Calgary's star running back — and Canada West player of the year — Mercer Timmis alone rushed for three touchdowns.
Meanwhile, the Bisons did battle without their own best ground weapon, as running back Anthony Coombs left the game limping on Manitoba's first drive. Kienan LaFrance took over his duties, and made some beauty plays, including scoring the Bisons' first touchdown with just seconds left in the first quarter on a pass from pivot Jordan Yantz.
But the Bisons just couldn't hang with the Dinos, who busted through holes and ran circles around the Manitoba defence to score two touchdowns and a field goal to finish off the first half. The Bisons attempted to launch a comeback in the third quarter, as they capitalized on a Calgary fumble and turned the resulting drive into a touchdown throw to Anthony Smith to narrow the score to 26-14.
The Dinos responded almost immediately, as Timmis broke out a huge touchdown run to suck the wind from the Bisons' sails. Calgary held the lead through to the end of the game.

Jose Gonzales Trio's A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS at Strawberry Theatre Workshop Rescheduled for Dec 11
Strawberry Theatre Workshop has decided to reschedule Jose Gonzales Trio Plays 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.'
Seattle theatre lost one of its leaders--Andrea Allen--on November 15th. This week it was announced that the celebration of Andrea's contribution to the arts and arts education will be held on Monday, December 10th at Seattle Repertory Theatre. To allow the community to fully participate in this memorial, the theatre's event, originally scheduled for the same date, will now take place on Tuesday, December 11th.
Patrons who have already purchased tickets to Jose Gonzales Trio Plays 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' are asked to contact email@example.com for exchanges. For more information about Andrea Allen's memorial, visit http://www.seattlerep.org/about/Andrea.
For the second year in a row, Jose Gonzales Trio will warm Capitol Hill's holiday season, performing Vince Guaraldi's classic jazz score to A Charlie Brown Christmas in its entirety. Celebrated local actor Bhama Roget (Strawshop's THIS LAND, Seattle Rep's GOD OF CARNAGE) will host the family- friendly evening at the festive Rainier Chapter House. All proceeds from this performance will benefit Strawberry Theatre Workshop. Last year's sold out concert became an instant holiday tradition for local families and fans of the time-honored holiday television special.
The first animated special based on Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strip, A Charlie Brown Christmas has been honored with an Emmy Award, a Peabody Award, and aired on television every Christmas since its debut in 1965. The musical soundtrack by jazz composer Vince Guaraldi is as well-known as the special itself, with the soundtrack album remaining a perennial best-seller. The signature "Christmas Time is Here" stands alongside the most beloved holiday tunes.
Firmly rooted in jazz, fed with a steady diet of blues, and dedicated to the art of the song, Jose Gonzales Trio offers a fresh take on standards, joyfully flirting with pop, funk, and R&B. Jose Gonzales Trio is Jose "Juicy" Gonzales (piano, lead vocals), Michael Marcus (bass), and Lionel Kramer (drums). More info at http://www.reverbnation.com/josegonzalestrio.
Founded in 2004 by Greg Carter, Strawberry Theatre Workshop is a professional theatre company dedicated to socially engaged work of the highest caliber. Strawshop is a Stranger Genius Award winner, a four-time Seattle Times Footlight Award winner, and the only company to be nominated for a Theatre Puget Sound Gregory Award for Outstanding Production every year since the awards' inception in 2009. Strawshop is one of three companies selected to operate the new 12th Avenue Arts center, slated to open in 2014.

No 3G on the iPhone, but why? A Battery Life Analysisby Anand Lal Shimpi on 7/13/2007 3:53 AM EST

James Fixen - Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - linkHad a good laugh: a smart Dutch dude became so angry that his battery of his iPhone 3G drained, that he asked some manufacturers in Linkedin to built him a rechargable, strong but small battery without funny cases or cables. The product will be out in two weeks and gives, almost 70% more energy (1770 mAh) than earlier devices, f.e. Kensington or iSound (1000 mAh). Reply
coco - Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - linkSure the battery on iPhone 3G is not that great, but what can we do? We want small size phones, powerful features and lengthy battery life.
Just get a backup battery. I got mine from iPhoneck brands. Their new 3G backup battery is probably one of the better looking products in the market. Their website is www.iphoneck.com
abpages - Wednesday, May 28, 2008 - linkYep same here, i'm in Australia and would have bought an iPhone if it supported 3G. Such a shame. I ended up with a Samsung Blackjack and it's fantastic sofar.

edwinder - Sunday, July 22, 2007 - linkHi Anand,
Stop defending the iPhone's lack of 3G. (You seem to keep justifying their lack of the 3G feature saying how they made a 'wise' choice). In other parts of the world, and its a very well known fact that 3G drains the battery tremendously. Yet every single phone has 3G and we work within their operating limits.
From a technology/market demand/innovation perspective, adoption of new technologies will push the envelope that will benefit the end users (you and me). This pushes the manufacturer to keep innovating, unlike Apple, who decided to take one step back and provide less features and charge you a bomb for it, and you keep praising them.
I'm disappointed.
peternelson - Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - linkDespite the hype about the justification for using old wireless standards: ie physical space and power consumption aka battery life, I think there is another important factor they neglected to mention:
Since 2G is less chips, less pcb assembly mounting and traces, and the chips themselves are simpler and more mature, THE OLD CHIPS MAKE IT CHEAPER TO MANUFACTURE THAN 3G.
Simple as that. Reduced costs of production and parts make for bigger profits.
That is the truthful reason, but they are not likely to admit that as a primary factor in the decision. It wouldn't be "cool" to tell people their equipment is outdated already. Reply
Squuiid - Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - linkI have an AT&T 8525 and disable 3G on it.
When using MS Push I get less than 10hrs on it with 3G, I'm in NYC with full signal all day.
On GSM it lasts all day till I get to charge it at night. So even thought I have the 3G capability, it is unusable due to ridiculous power consumption.
sprockkets - Saturday, July 14, 2007 - linkAre you saying you can use edge to make voice conversations instead of GSM? I have never heard of that. So what about GPRS.
The whole point of why you get less talk time over UMTS is because it is WCDMA and is inherit in the technology. Wikipedia it and see for yourself.
While not real proof, if I use an edge connection for data, it sounds like a voice conversation over speakers. Sure you use edge for voice? Reply
drwho9437 - Saturday, July 14, 2007 - linkIt is not clear to me from your webpage results that the faster connection wasn't largely impacted by the fact that it simply rendered more pages. That is what is the cost of rendering the page, not just getting the data.
The talk time stuff is interesting, looks like something you could fix up in firmware easily though. Reply
nvmarino - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkIt would be helpful to know how long the battery lasted on both phones with the screen on but doing nothing.
And what the hell did you guys talk about for 9 hours, anyway?
"Can you hear me now?"
--Nino Reply
kennyb - Saturday, July 14, 2007 - linkExcellent article. The first time i saw an iPhone i knew Apple wouldn't allow a user-replaceable battery. Why? It would ruin the iPhone's aesthetics. If you've ever bought a Mac before you'd understand. I expect Apple to incorporate a really slick mechanism to open the chassis without uglifying the iPhone sometime soon.
Also, when i heard that 3G would not be supported, i immediately thought about [chip]space. Maybe EL Stevo mandated that the iPhone not exceed "X" mm thickness. Hey, it happened with the Powerbook G4.
Yeah, i want one. Yeah, i don't need one. Reply
jellinek - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkDoes the h.264 implementation on the iphone vs. the likely flash-based version on the blackjack impact this at all?
Quicktime playback over the web (trailers set to loop?) might be a better way to determine EDGE/3G/WiFi battery life.
MrJim - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkAnyone know if they will add MMS-messengering in iphone? Reply
GlassHouse69 - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkfuck iphone.
that's all I have to say.
stop reviewing it. it is lemming equipment that is overpriced and hobbled with a beautiful screen. feels like 5-6 years ago Mac intellect at use. get great graphical images, get stuck in the mud hardware, hobble it all somehow, charge 1000 dollars more than you need and bam, lemmings jump. wee!
DavenJ - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkI guess this guy isn't going to buy an iPhone. Reply
Shark Tek - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkYeah I bet that he can't buy it. Reply
puffpio - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkIs there a way to get this higher quality youtube feed for computers?? I'm tired of their pixelated crap. Reply
dacramer - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkWho cares how LONG the battery lasts when loading web pages. The real test is how many web pages the battery can load per charge. Even if the battery lasts half as long over 3g, it surely must load more web pages. Is it more than double? 3g may not be so bad with regards to battery life with this taken into consideration. Reply
Icehawk - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkI think the exact same thing - the more important metric is how many pages you can load not how long the battery lasts with constant clicking. Reply
Araemo - Friday, July 13, 2007 - link"The biggest impact of all is, surprisingly enough, talk time; with 3G enabled, the Blackjack's talk time is cut in half, with absolutely no benefit realized from the higher bandwidth standard."
Do you want to know why 3G is the default for talk time as well as data transfers? 3G has more bandwidth per cell tower, and talk over 3G uses the same total bandwidth as talk over GSM.. but since 3G increases the available bandwidth, you use less of the cell company's resources if you're talking using 3G instead of GSM. So battery life be damned, AT&T wants to make more money. ;) Reply
cosmotic - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkYour graph on the talk time page shows the iphone using wifi. Shouldn't that be edge? Reply
Tegeril - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkNo, because EDGE is disabled for data during voice calls and Wifi remains on. Reply
mino - Tuesday, July 17, 2007 - linkWell, explain that to me how was I talking with a friend and browsing DT at the same time with my nokia now ?
Even the good old GPRS allows for simultanious data/voice scenario, that is actually one of the points of the packet-based technologies.
If you have standard 4+2 GPRS/EDGE timeslots available you just have the bandwith during call reduced to 3+1 scenario as voice requires 1+1 slots for its operation.
The other thing is if you have phone bad enough that manufacturer disabled/did not implement this functionality...
Even my P800 form 2003 coud do that FYI.. Reply
DavenJ - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkNo he's right it should say EDGE. Phone calls can only come over the EDGE network and not through Wifi. This is a measure of talk time which would mean a phone call. It would be nice, however, do have VoIP through Wifi for those cases where your either roaming or in a dead spot. Reply
michael2k - Saturday, July 14, 2007 - linkIt's not a typo, you misunderstand the test.
It's talk time with a broadband connection turned on. You can, theoretically, turn wifi off during talk to extend the iPhone life, but for a comparison between 3G and WiFi battery life they were talking with, respectively, 3G and WiFi on. Reply
VooDooAddict - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkWiFi for voice would be very nice. They could even charge me the same minute fees/bucket. There are plenty of homes with very good wifi coverage but crappy wireless cell coverage... works almost like a signal booster.
Ataraxia - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkI'm pretty sure you guys are all wrong.
The iPHone has just enough features so people will go out and buy it in rabid frenzy, while the next iteration (in probably 6 months) containing 3G, Thinner/Lighter, etc will push people like ME to buy it (The educated consumer, who really does know how backwards the innards of an iPhone actually is), plus everyone who bought the first generation will dump theirs for the much faster data transfers and buy a second gen iPhone.
It's all about business and the $$ Reply
BigLan - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkI wonder if the iphone youtube results are so good because the device buffers the video. It could be that you only download the file once, then play it back from cache. Could you maybe repeat the test with different clips every time to see if this is the case?
Also, are you saying that youtube clips on iphone/wifi look better than on a desktop? Reply
DaveLessnau - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkIf Apple simply went with a user-replaceable battery, most of this problem (not the space issue) would go away. I'm not in the market for a cell phone, but that one point (the battery) drops the iPhone out of the competition for me. Reply
Shintai - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkWhy would anyone, atleast outside the US mobile network, get an iPhone? Its 3-4 years behind atleast.
Take a cheaper nokia n95. You get gps, video calls (DVD quality, 30fps), TV, msn, 5Mpixel cam, MMS, 3Mbit internet, longer battery life and so on. On a 3.5G network for less than an iPhone.
The iPhone is like buying a 800Mhz P3 in a fancy design today. Inferiour products for extreme prices. The last sucker aint born yet. Reply
sxr7171 - Monday, July 16, 2007 - linkN95 is not cheaper buddy. I dropped $750 on mine. Reply
tuteja1986 - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkwell if someone would just copy the user interface they could sell craploads of phones. Take the heat for a clone but who cares as you will benefit by alot of sales. Reply
halfeatenfish - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkJust like with every other Apple product, the iPhone is for people that value the experience over the specifications. My phone can do all the iPhone can (feature-wise) and more... but I hate using it. As a matter a fact, a great deal of my features go unused b/c its too much an ass-pain to get to them. Same story with my XP machine over my Powerbook... My Win box is faster, etc... but I hate dealing with it.
It reminds me of the difference between a Subaru and an Audi. Similar performance, but huge price difference. In one you to holler on the freeway, in the other, you speak. One has you tired after long trips, the other has you wanted to take longer trips. Etc, etc, etc
The point is... for a whole lot of people, spec's alone are just not enough. Reply
AlexWade - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkAmerica is 3-4 years behind in all cell technology because our government believes competition on standards is a good thing. Obviously, it is not. Every network has dead spots, a problem we wouldn't have if there was only 1 cell technology like Europe. Reply
bigboxes - Sunday, July 15, 2007 - linkYou're right. We should all be on CDMA in North America. CDMA is faster and better than GSM. That would solve all our problems. Thanks for pointing that out! Reply
Zaitsev - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkYou mean its feature set is 3-4 years behind, but has a completely novel user interface. It's certainly not "best bang for your buck," but that's not Apple's goal in the first place. Reply
tuteja1986 - Friday, July 13, 2007 - linkBattery life was the problem .. well no iphone sales in Australia as we are 3G. Reply

If you are using workflows in Adobe CQ5.4 you may wish to have a customized delay between certain workflow steps. It is possible to cause a delay using the timeout functionality which has pre-defined values (immediate, 1h, 2h, 6h etc…), and then select the Auto Advance timeout handler to move the workflow to the next step.
In some cases you may also want to define your own delay intervals rather than use the pre-defined values. This is possible in CQ5.4 by creating an overlay of:

First, you've heard the news already, probably:
Ruslan Fedotenko's out 2-4 weeks with a second-degree sprain of the a.c. joint in his left shoulder. So not only is Chad Kolarik coming up from Connecticut (AHL), but so is Brodie Dupont.
Quotes to follow shortly.
Henrik Lundqvist said he was rooting for Marian Gaborik to score six goals so it would knock from the record book the five he scored in a game against Lundqvist.
Marian Gaborik:
"It was good to get that first one. A big relief to get the monkey off my back. And then we just kept rolling. We didn't give them much the first period. It's always, we talk about we have to have a good start, and we did. We have to give a lot of credit to the guys, Aves and Artie there. They've been great, and Hank obviously was unbelievable, so it was a huge win for us."
"It's been kind of a battle lately in terms of getting goals and I just need to get going, get skating, and forecheck and just get my legs going. It felt good, and it's always a big relief when you get the first one. We just took off from there."
"It's nice. Definitely a good feeling. I need to build on this and be more consistent and hopefully it's going to go for us."
On the first goal:
"Aves made a good pass there. It kind of bounced over my stick there, so I couldn't shoot a one-timer. So I knew that Gustavsson didn't have a stick, so I just tried to go around him and make a move on him."
On Avery as a linemate:
"We've had a good chemistry in the past. Now we need to see more consistency and you can see what he brings. He's got speed, he can forecheck, and he can make plays. You could see that. Artie made nice plays there. So we need to keep it up now. With Dubi out, everybody needs to step up, step their game up. It's a very tough stretch before the break here, so we need to be strong."
When players like Dubinsky and Fedotenko go out:
"It takes responsibility. It's a big challenge for myself and I think for everybody here. A lot of guys get more minutes here and a lot of guys need to step up, including myself. It happened tonight, so we need to keep going. We've had a lot of injuries this year, so we can't make excuses. Just keep it up and play with whoever we have in the lineup."
"There's always pressure. You put pressure on yourself, as well. It's been throughout my whole carer, this is how it is, so I need to live up to that."
On whether he though he was close to breaking out:
"You have chances, you're hitting posts and stuff. So when I get my legs going and skate, I've just got to keep working hard and things happen."
Brian Boyle:
On Gaborik:
"No matter what anybody seems to think or whatever, the guy puts a lot of pressure on himself and he works extremely hard and he's really unselfish in that manner. We were just really happy for him. He broke out in a big way tonight and that was a lift for the rest of us."
On his reaction to losing Dubinsky:
"It was just kind of like, 'Are you kidding me?' It was a big surprise, but the way we heard about it, was just when we walked into the rink today — I was here at 4:15 — and it was 'Did you hear about Dubi?' 'No, what happened?' 'He's out' for however long. I think it was kid of good that we didn't have a lot of time to dwell on it.
"But he's obviously a big loss. That said, it's just been kind of the same-old for us. It's the next night, whoever else is going to play, when your number's called, go out there. I think we did a pretty good job of that tonight."
On his career-high 16 goals:
"I think I had the most I've scored in my career in October. It wasn't very hard to eclipse that. Jeez. No, it's been good. Obviously you want to come into the league and make a contribution right away, but I'm thankful they were patient with me and they gave me a chance and it's been a good year so far. Obviously, your mindset changes a bit and I want to score every night now. That's a good thing. That's what you want. It's competitive. So far things have been going pretty good, and I'm blessed and I'm fortunate."

Two plead "guilty" to killing of Willow Creek Volunteer Firefighter
Bruce "Jason" Hunsucker and Samantha Kristine Machado plead "guilty" to voluntary manslaughter Thursday afternoon for the 2011 killing of Willow Creek Volunteer Firefighter Darrell Hanger Sr.
Hunsucker and Machado, along Jackson Surber and Sonia Hunsucker were part of an attempted burglary at a Willow Creek home that left Hanger dead on May 5 2011. The four were involved in a burglary at the same home the previous night, and went back to attempt another burglary in the early morning of May 5. That's when the fatal events occurred.
Hanger, and his son, Darrell Ryan Hanger stayed in the house that night and armed themselves in case the burglars came back. The four individuals did come back and parked a stolen Toyota Tacoma in the home's carport. That's where the Hangers confronted the burglars and ordered them out of the car. The two parties exchanged gunfire that ultimately led to Darrell Hanger's death.
All four were originally faced with almost a dozen charges, including: first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and taking a vehicle without owner's consent. However, only Surber was found guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in September. Sonia Hunsucker plead guilty to second-degree murder in 2012 and she's currently serving a 15-year to life sentence.
As for Machado and Bruce "Jason" Hunsucker, they both received a plea deal and are due back in court on December 19 for sentencing. They both plead "guilty" to voluntary manslaughter and two counts of first-degree burglary, as well as other charges. Hunsucker's attorney, Neal Sanders told News Channel Three that he will serve 17 years and 4 months, but already has more than two years of credit to put toward the sentence.

Uncyclopedia:Pee Review/HowTo:Drive Your Car Out of A Lake
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit HowTo:Drive Your Car Out of A Lake
-- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 19:56, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I will tell you what I think. --Murder Frog ✄ Dull interest wanes. 00:40, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
|I thought that for the most part this was pretty funny in a number of places, definitely very amusing mostly because of the tone. It's so straightforward and formal and the topic is so ridiculous that I really enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed your addition of plenty of unneccesary instructions, such as getting a map and bringing scuba gear, although I guess the whole thing is pretty unneccesary! Also liked the little bits of useful information, such as "this will bring water inside the car". However, I do think that sometimes reading the bits of info about obvious things like water short-circuiting the car and watching out for ruts get less funny as the article goes on, so I think trying some more "out of the box" descriptions and putting twists on these "obvious" facts wod help make it stranger, and funnier than it already is. I would encourage you to try and expand it a bit more, just because what you have now is very good. I'd like to hear more! I want to be sure I know exactly how to drive my car out of that lake. Also, in places it could sound a bit more formal, even though for the most part it does that pretty well. I think that would help with making it even funnier. So just see if you can build on it a bit. Otherwise, great humor.
|This is a really good topic, in fact I'm a bit envious. Just considering the type of stuff I've seen on the front page, I think something with a topic like this would fit right in there. Plus, the HowTo articles are always fun to read and write, just because of the way you can talk to your reader. It's all about tone, and for the most part I think you've got a good start. Again, I think if you put your mind to it you could expand it.
|Prose and formatting:
|Good tone and good word choice and organization for each step. I think the one thing I would say is that it looks a little "blocky" with the short clumps of text down below; maybe adding images would help give it a more "official" look? But that's the next box:
|I'd say "nearly adequate", because I think a few more pictures would be good for the article. Perhaps finding images of actually getting inside the car and whatnot would be hard to find, but ones that illustrate the dangers of the lake floor, the necessary diving gear, etc. could help it be more "informative" (hah hah) and also would help the overall look of the article by shifting some of the paragraphs around.
|Average of the scores.
|Final Score:
|Looks very promising to me, but should be expanded a wee bit and more images should be inserted on in there. I like the tone and resulting humor, though; it's almost there!

Makeup Genius:
Diane Kendal
Specialty: As a sought-after runway pro and codeveloper of Sunday Riley's eco-conscious cosmetics range, makeup artist Diane Kendal is renowned for her ability to endow skin with lit-from-within radiance and flawless texture.
Secret Weapon: Kendal smooths Sunday Riley Juno Transformative Lipid Serum onto skin in lieu of primer: "It's moisturizing without being greasy, and it gives the skin a richness and glow." Mixed with foundation, it sheers out coverage for "a tinted-moisturizer effect that won't be too shiny."
Quick Fix: For easy contouring, Kendal dips a small blush brush into taupe shadow and gently sweeps it below the cheekbone "from the center of the ear toward the center of the cheek, stopping halfway under the eye. Then a neutral peach blush to give cheeks a soft, healthy color."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/5/2013 (1564 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The 12th Winnipeg Wine Festival has once again come and gone, and by all accounts was a huge success. From the Media Grape Stomp that kicked off the fest to the last pour of Saturday night's public tastings, hundreds of wines were sampled by more than 7,000 attendees over the course of 10 days.
Theme regions Argentina and New Zealand were very well-represented. Many winemakers and winery reps were on hand at the "Big Sky Party" ancillary event at the beautiful Qualico Family Centre, and stuck around to be part of the theme region section of the main public tastings last weekend. Between pouring and describing their wines, I overheard many talking enthusiastically about the remarkable turnout of Winnipeg wine lovers.
In the New Zealand camp, there was plenty of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris being sampled, with a healthy helping of Pinot Noir for those who prefer reds. Argentine producers brought some of their best Malbec to the show, while showing what they can do with white wine grapes like Torrontes as well.
Big or small, new or old, this year's sold-out ancillary events didn't fail to engage enthused wine drinkers. The Metropolitan Entertainment Centre (across Donald from the MTS Centre) was a picturesque addition to the mix -- a stellar venue for the bustling VQA event. On the smaller side of the coin, Segovia Tapas Bar & Restaurant hosted an intimate Spanish food and wine tasting that featured only seven wines but included a suggested food pairing with each. I think there's room for more small-scale events of this nature in the years to come.
The Thursday night gala dinner did more than its part in bringing in money for Special Olympics Manitoba, the main benefactor of the Winnipeg Wine Festival. One member of the organizing committee told me the dinner's silent and live auctions brought in around $100,000 alone -- by comparison, last year's gala auctions raked in $60,000.
Meanwhile, ticket sales outpaced last year's sales from the outset -- every ancillary event and both evening public tastings sold out, and the Saturday matinee public tasting was busier than I've ever seen.
So while the final tally may not be in, it's a sure bet the fest made more money for Special Olympics Manitoba this year than in any previous year. Last year's fest topped out at around $300,000 raised (the highest amount to date), and a similar result this year would put the total money raised for Special Olympics Manitoba over the $2.5 million mark. Congrats.
-- -- --
The Friday morning industry breakfast provided some valuable insight into the state of wine sales at Liquor Marts in Manitoba, as well as emerging trends in our market. I'm still poring over the info provided and transcribing what the MLLC reported at the breakfast, and will have some of the more interesting notes and numbers in the weeks to come. Interestingly, while the following year's theme region is usually unveiled at the breakfast, there was no mention of it this time around -- it's not expected to be revealed until June.
-- -- --
If you were at the festival and enjoyed a wine that was available solely at the show, you may still have a chance to pick up that new favourite. While many of these exclusive wines sold out at the on-site store, anything left over is available after the show at the Grant Park Liquor Mart. Quantities are obviously limited, so move fast if you want to stock up.
FAMILIA STORTINI 2012 "ETC." TORRONTES (Famatina Valley, Argentina -- $14.99, Liquor Marts and beyond)
This regularly available Argentine white should be purchased in large quantities for patio sipping. Spice, tropical fruit, tangerine and floral notes are intense on the nose -- almost Muscat-like -- and those fresh fruit flavours pack a big punch on the light-plus bodied palate. It's fermented dry, but the generous tropical/orange flavours almost impart a hint of sweetness. Excellent. 90/100
UMANI RONCHI 2007 C�MARO (Conero Riserva, Italy -- $27.57, Liquor Marts and beyond)
This Italian red (also regularly available as opposed to wine fest-only) is made from the Montepulciano grape in the Marches region -- if Italy is boot-shaped, this wine comes from the calf. Blackberry, cocoa, raspberry and black tea notes on the nose piqued my interest; on the full-bodied palate these came through in spades. A mild spice component courtesy of time in oak and light tannins added to the chewy, rich texture of this red, and despite its age the C�maro seemed youthful and fresh. 91/100

5) SMARTIES. These tiny discs of concentrated sugar contain enough tartness to serve as a perfect palate cleanser between your milk-chocolate-and-caramel courses.
4) BUTTERFINGER. Whatever the substance in this bar is that bonds like Gorilla Glue to your teeth makes this hearty treat last way, way longer than any other chocolate bar. You are done with it before it's done with you. ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE: Clark Bar.
3) MILKY WAY MIDNIGHT. The candy bar that brought grown-up elegance to Hallowe'en. The hint of dark chocolate sophistication practically forces you to extend your pinky whilst gorging.
2) CANDY CORN. Not because it's good. Because it's not. What is this, the Great Depression? Why are we eating this brightly colored Appalachian wax? I'll tell you why: because if you knew no pain, you'd never know joy. You eat candy corn because it's there, and you can't stop yourself. It's still, thanks in large part to its name, TECHNICALLY candy. But when you eat some of the top-shelf stuff after a handful of these sad shapes, you appreciate the effort made by huge, faceless corporations.
1) REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS. For my money, the undisputed King of All Hallow's Eve. Not the two-disc sleeve, not the miniatures in gold foil (the sweet-to-savory ratio is WAY off on those), I speak of the individual cups. And the packaging is ORANGE. Intelligent design? A case could be made!

Henrik Lundqvist:
"It's hard to be disappointed right now, or satisfied. If we're in, I think it's a great year. If we're not, then absolutely you can't be happy about the year. We'll see."
"If we're in, I think everybody feels that this is a pretty good year. We've been winning a lot of games, we've been pretty consistent, we've been working really hard and it's been a fun year. If we're not in, we can't be satisfied, obviously. The amount of wins is pretty good if you look around the league. Maybe, if a couple more losses into overtime, that would be a big difference.
"But we did our job today and I think everybody should be feeling pretty good about themselves, how we handled this, going down the stretch. Obviously the last game. we wanted to win that one. It was not an easy one, though. After (the Thrashers) got their first goal, I think they could feel that theyt had a chance — if you look at last night (against Carolina), they didn't get the lead and they kind of went the other way. So, yeah, right now it's really weird."
I asked him if they might feel differently if they'd beaten the Islanders and Atlanta but lost to Philly and Boston, which would have put them in the exact situation.
"I don't know. Good question, though. It just shows us that, if we're in, we could definitely do some damage. I feel like we have a pretty good team, we've worked really hard, we can beat anybody. And, again, if we're in, I think everybody feels it's been a pretty good year. But if we're not in, again, we can't be happy about the year or satisfied.
"I still feel like last year we has more games we should have won than this year. This year we've been working hard, we've been there all the time in close games. It's just a weird feeling right now. We'll see what happens tonight."
"It's tough when it's this close. After 82 games it comes down to, not the amount of wins, but how we played against Carolina during the year. It was really tough last year, and if we don't make it this year, it's going to be a really long summer for a lot of us. For me personally, it's going to be really tough."
Will he watch tonight?
"I haven't decided yet. It's going to be really hard to watch. But it's going to be hard not to. Maybe we'll get the boys together and see what happens. I feel pretty low right now even though we did our job, because we haven't gotten much help the last few weeks, so I don't have high hopes. If we're in, I'm going to be the happiest guy in Manhattan, that's for sure. We'll see."
"There was now way we were going to lose two games in a row when we're in the position we were in, where we need the two points. It was just a great feeling to see how hard we were working, and the energy, and to see Dru back. I had a good feeling about him when I saw him before the game. I didn't tell him, but I had a feeling he was going to score today and he did. I'm really happy for him and he deserves a lot of credit for sticking with the program here. He's been working really hard to get back and I'm happy for him."
"The regular season, you put in so much work the whole year, and to miss it, it's tough. It's tough mentally to take. Playoffs, it's a little shorter and you go and you're in or you're out. But for a whole year, that's probably the worst feeling, last year, to miss it that close. And again this year, it's really close again."
Chris Drury:
"When you can't control it or can't have a say in it, it's kind of hard. But it's out of our hands, and at least as far as today's concerned, we did our job and we just have to sit and wait and watch."
"I was ready for whatever Torts wanted and I was just glad to help out."
"The biggest thing was that we did get the win, whether I played two shifts or 10 shifts. To me it didn't matter. I just wanted to be here for the win. If it was two shifts or 10 shifts, do whatever I could to help out."
Said he was thinking of setting up something where the team could watch tonight's game together, but that some of the players told him they didn't want to watch the game.
On his only goal of the season:
"I'm glad it came at a good time, in a game that we won."
On whether he hoped his return might spark other guys:
"I don't know. That's probably a question for Torts. But I would certainly hope that me being in here, being around, and not just today but the last week, being with the guys, would help in at least a small part."
Vinny Prospal:
"It was like that all year. We didn't just have one line. We had a lot of guys scoring some goals at big times."
I asked him if he's seen a more odd circumstance in his career:
"Oh, two years in a row now.
"If you look at it, it's almost like in any sport now. I don't know, maybe it's because of the salary cap. But all the teams, they have talent and stuff. So it's difficult. It's just the way it is right now. It may suck, but it's reality right now, where we are."
I also asked him if he spoke to any of his boys in Tampa:
"I did not because we (hadn't done) our part before I came here this morning. There might be a need a little later when they start waking up after their (pre-game) nap."
On what he likes about this team through 82 games:
"I think the biggest thing about this team is the work ethic. Even though this is a really, really young team, the work ethic, the way that people got to know the New York Rangers this year is that they're going to come out, and we may not get the result, but there's not going to be too many games like the one Thursday against Atlanta because we come out hard. We go out and play with a lot of emotion, with a lot of grind in our game. And I think that is the identity of this team, how hard we play. That's what they're going to remember about us this year."
Brandon Dubinsky:
"We came out and did what we wanted to do. Obviously they got the 1-0 and 2-1 lead there, but we stuck to our gameplan, we played the game that we've been playing all year and been successful with and we've got a few to go. We did all we could and we've got to sit and watch, and hope for the best."
"I think I'm more nervous now to watch the game than I was to play this one. It's just maybe the nature of having no control over the outcome. Tampa's a good team. Hopefully they do the job for us and we get into the playoffs. I think the way our team is, we'll be a tough team to play."
Ryan McDonagh:
On his first NHL goal:
"It made it sweeter that we got the win for sure. It was a good feeling. I've been thnking about it for a long time, when it was going to come. It turned out to be a game winner and it helped the guys out today."
"We have great guys in the room. Our leaders have been talking. They made sure we were calm and cool and we stuck to the gameplan."
On Drury's goal:
"That is huge. You can't say enough about Dru and his character. We needed him the most and he came through … Captain Clutch … isn't that his nickame?"
Brian Boyle:
On Drury's goal:
"Dru scored a lot of goals in his carer. He's been a great player for a long time. We were just truing to shoot pucks, get to the net, crashing. That's how we score our goals. It was blue collar. That's the way we had to play today and that is the way we have to play. It was great."
