It's like Jonny Greenwood did to Penderecki what Radiohead did to the fringes of electronic dance music. He cleaned all the rough edges off, gave it a pop sensibility and a good choon, and made it listenable.

I think the interesting thing about it is that in the process he created something that's quite unique? I listen to a lot Penderecki & friends and a lot of classical music in general and there really isn't anyone else who's carved out this weird space between Polymorphia and something far more lush and Romantic.
― Melissa W, Saturday, 24 March 2012 16:01 (five years ago) Permalink
This is where I just don't have enough knowledge of classical music (Romantic era or contemporary) to respond in any kind of meaningful way except "I like the way it sounds." He occasionally touches on that terrifying atonal noize that Penderecki excels at bringing, but he seems to fill in around the edges with these soft, fluttering, harmonious bits. That there are passages of reassuring beauty, as opposed to Penderecki's full on DOOM DOOM EVERYTHING IS TERRIFYING all bold all caps sans serif text. Jonny's music is a serif font.
Oh god this makes no sense at all to anyone but me.

Anyway, stop trying to make me listen to Greenwood. You know I'm a Yorkist. I feel all disloyal. I might have to go and sack St Albans.

Oh, and I'm going to answer here to that artsdesk review that you posted on The Other Place.
I mean, the reviewer played his cards in the first paragraph of the piece - whenever anyone says "I like my genre X x-ish and my genre Y y-ish and NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET" you know you are in the presence of someone so small minded that they probably also say things like "I don't know much about art but I know what I like" which means it's perfectly OK to just go ahead and not read the rest of the review.
I find theartsdesk often baffling because they have one or two really good critics/writers, and then seem to make up the rest of the team with people who stubbornly fold their arms across their chest and refuse to have their preconceptions challenged - and the editorial team goes for it because they know that nothing brings the pageviews like challops.
We get it! You don't like synthesis, homage or genre-fusion. We got it from the first paragraph. We continued to get it over the pageview-grabbing two-page split to double advertising revenue on what was a really boring and tedious 1-note review. And we continue to get it. Now fuck off back to Covent Garden you Britney-loving rebel you.
Sorry I couldn't have responded in The Other Place. I still feel awkward and unhappy about how things went down over there.

smdh at that Arts Desk critic. You're right - the first paragraph makes the rest of the review redundant.
It's also a very common anti-middlebrow pose dressed up as if it were iconoclasm. Like critics who say they only like Iranian arthouse and Transformers 3 and nothing in between.
― And I have been called "The Appetite" (DL), Monday, 26 March 2012 10:25 (five years ago) Permalink
Have to say that I thoroughly agree with both MB and DL here. And also with Owen Pallett on another thread who said that the Worst 200 Songs Project was redolent of the kind of book-burning "THIS IS SHIT" English mentality that made him sick. It really gets my goat too (but then I'm not an Englishman).
You see it all over the place; Ian Martin's Guardian column today, the Popdose website (don't waste your time; I look at these things so you don't have to), too many other places – the underlying message being "Don't bother with that awful new music that is so difficult to listen to, stick with what you know, let's all like the same things and that will simplify our demographic reach, make our lives easier."
Fair enough, Mr Petridis tries to readdress this issue in today's edition (with the substantial aid of his daughter). The difference being that when young Richard Williams was making his way as a music writer in the late sixties, he already knew about Ligeti and Stockhausen, but I recognise that these are different times.
But when you have someone say, in today's paper, that "we want to turn our readers into a resource," then it's a revolver-reaching-for situation, I'm afraid.

The only ownership that I assert over this thread is that it is specifically ~for fangirling~ - i.e. one should only post on it if one is actually a fangirl or else if one is prepared to put up with, support, condone or otherwise just not-be-awful-and-negative-about fangirling as a mentality. Anyone who is prepared to do that, is welcome. Anyone who isn't won't be deleted, they'll just be squealed at, loudly, until they go away. ;-)
But yeah, the whole schtick of that article was just so distasteful. In point of fact, what it screamed was I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ART, BUT I KNOW WHAT I HATE!!!
Like, I understand the appeal of hating. It's very comforting, in a way. I know I do it myself, that there are artists I just *take against* and it becomes almost part of my identity that I hate Artist X. Because it's easier to establish one's identity in opposition to something, rather than by positive qualities. Maybe also lazier, and avoids actually ever putting oneself out there emotionally by committing to something as ~uncool~ as love. Because loving something or someone, really renders one quite vulnerable.
But, for me, Hating An Artist is kind of an active process, it's something I'm often testing. Like, I will, every year or so, go and listen to artists I actively hate, to test myself, to test my preconceptions. Sometimes I listen to something I hate for about 30 seconds, and go "yup, so relieved, still hate that" and sometimes it will blindside me and take me by surprise and I'll have to evaluate, has this artist changed, or have my tastes changed, and it's this process of give and take, defining and redefining boundaries. (Relieved I still don't like Penderecki, but have had to adjust my opinions on Autechre and Neil Young in the past few years after being ambushed by unexpected emotion.)
But to go to a show by an artist you know in advance you hate, you have already decided to hate, and then just spend the whole article just missing the point of what other people actually *like* about said artist. There's just something so... *lazy* about that.
And I think DL is right about that, that it's kneejerk anti-middlebrow. That it's actually been established and accepted that to enjoy only highbrow material is limiting, snobby and perhaps even vaguely classist. But if you add in "oh, but I also like complete trash, look at how much I'm enjoying this lowbrow art (with a side order of condescension and lashings of irony)" then somehow that balances it out? No it doesn't! That's not Poptimism, that's inverse snobbery.

Think the first track is just a song-y bone to throw the ateasers howling for "proper songs" and "less bleeps and bloops" before the album jumps off into the pure "electronic dance music" album he keeps telling people he's going to release.
I want the album to be 12 versions of the long version of Twist just to piss people off, but I would.

A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil's heart: "I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back."
Kim Thayil explodes: "What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?"
"But I hate it," Corgan says, "it means they don't think I'm the cute one."
"Ooh," Thayil says a little too loudly as Corgan walks away, "I'll bet he's going to call his therapist in Chicago, wake her up at four in the morning, and tell her about that big, mean bear who made fun of him."
The next day at the Big Day Out festival, Thayil is talking to Kim and Kelley Deal in the Breeders' dressing room when Corgan walks past wearing a long-sleeved Superman T-shirt like the one your four-year-old nephew probably owns.
"You hurt me deeply," Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. "You hurt me deeply in my heart."

Chilka Lake is the largest salt water lake in Asia. Best time to visit the lake is during the months of October to March. It is during this period that more than fifty species of gorgeous migratory birds arrive to their annual migration. Chilka boasts of thousands of native and migrant birds. The varieties of birds are from faraway places like from the distant Siberia. The marvelous beauty of Chilka has inspired poets and to sing its glory. The atmosphere is peaceful amidst the blue stretch of water on one side and an evergreen range of hills on the other side.
In the month of January, pilgrims flock the area because of Makar Mela and offer puja to Goddess Kalijai. The water spread of the lagoon varies between 1165 sq.km in monsoon to 906 sq.km during summer. The lake is nearly seventy five kilometer long and has width of about fifteen kilometers.
Chilka Lake is situated on the eastern coast of Orissa. It runs along the boundaries of three districts of Orissa which are Puri, Ganjam and Khurda, finally entering the Bay of Bengal.
Chilka Lake is at a distance of about 120 km from the capital of Orissa, Bhubaneswar, which is the nearest airport. One can opt for regular buses running from Puri, Behrampore, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. This beautiful lake is accessible from Rambha and Balugaon railway stations. Trains from Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai can be accessed.
One can come to Chilka Lake by driving through National Highway number five. One can avail the facilities of three wheeler rickshaws, auto rickshaws, bicycles and cars on rent to roam around the area at ease.
Several ancient texts have mentioned Chilka as a chief port. Renowned Chinese explorer Fa-Hien also referred to a port from where ships took off for South East Asia. This port was believed to be situated at Chhatragarh on the banks of the Chilka Lake. Some archaeological excavations of the seventh century have stated that ship anchors were here. Some documents of the tenth century documents referred to the Chilka Lake as being a very important port and haven for ships leaving for Asia.
Radiocarbon dating discovered that initially the site is located on the left bank of the river Malaguni, a watercourse of the river Daya, which runs into Chilka Lake. This location, which gave way to the sea through Chilka Lake, bears witness of the maritime activities of the expanse. Many woodworking works of art explains that this area was a centre for boat-building. Golabai is the only unearthed site in Orissa where boat-building has been exposed. This also indicates that Chilka Lake was very close to Golabai, where boats were built. It helped the maritime operations of people in the area during the prehistoric era.
Chilka Lake experiences fairly warm weather throughout the year. But it is recommended not to visit this beautiful lake during the monsoons which starts from the month of June and stretches till September.
One can not only view the magnificent birds but also enjoy boat rides in the lake. Islands like Breakfast Island, Kalijai Island, Honeymoon Island, Birds Island, Nalabana, Parikud Island and many more are some of the significant spots on the large brackish water lake.
Picture 2 – Chilka Lake Picture
Touring in the lake is the most sought after activity by the tourists. One can take a boat ride to all the islands which are certainly going to be a breathtaking experience. Boating in Barkul will enthrall the tourists. Water Scooters and Pedal Boats costing around seventy five rupees per ride are available. Drivers of speedboats allow commuters to drive if requested. To top it all there is a boating club in nearby Tampara. The best time for boating is just prior to sunrise because it is really splendid to see the rising sun from the horizon and birds flying in all directions.
Chilka Lake is also home to abundant marine as well as non-aquatic plants. According to a recent survey, more than seven hundred and ten species of plants are found in and around the Chilka Lake. Such a huge diversity of flora and fauna including several rare and uncommon species has been the main reason for considering Chilka Lake as Ramsar site. There are more than 300 marine species, which includes more than 250 fish species, 28 prawns and over thirty species of crabs are reported out of which 65 species breed in the lake. Chilka Lake has around twenty seven species of freshwater fishes and 2 genres of prawns.
Find out all about the serene islands on Chilka Lake.
Nalabana Island is also referred to as the Island of Reeds. This is a bird sanctuary under the Wildlife Protection Act. This is a huge island in the center of the lake. This place is a treat for bird-watchers in the winter months. This island is totally flooded in the monsoon months. The Island of Nalabana is spread around an area of 8 km and occupies a unique place in the vast area of Chilka Lake.
This was a former poacher's village which has turned out to be a community owned wildlife project. The community is maintained by Mangalajodi Ecotourism.
Bird Island
Here one can view the breath taking sight of birds in their natural habitat. This place is a heaven for local as well as migratory birds.
Kalijai Island
It is an abode of Goddess Kalijai. Pilgrims assemble here in the month of January during Makar Mela held at the time of Makar Sankranti to offer prayers to the Goddess. This place is very close from Barkul. Here one can find flocks of peacocks roaming here and blending with the devotees.
According to legends around 2300 years ago, a girl named Kali drowned, near the currently placed Kalijai Temple, while returning to her maternal home from her husband's place. A few years later her sister, Jai, came searching for Kali and landed on the island. She died on the island for reasons which are mysterious. Since then, fishermen and local people used to frequently hear cries of two girls at night. Soon after this temple was constructed, the cries stopped automatically. In the past fishermen used to visit the temple before going into the deep sea, but today, it is just another tourist spot.
This area is located near the Dolphin point. It is here that the acutely rare Irrawady dolphins and bottle-nosed dolphins can be seen sometimes. Chilka Lake is one of the only two lagoons in the world where Irrawady dolphins can be seen.
This place is flocked by tourists for its picturesque natural landscape.
Breakfast Island
This place is merely a twenty minutes boat ride from Rambha. Tourists can pack their breakfasts from the OTDC Panthanivas at Rambha and have it here in perfect surroundings. The Beacon Island and Honeymoon Island are also located nearby.
Chilka Lake is one of the biggest nesting grounds for not only migratory birds but also residential birds in India. It boasts of being one of the richest bio diversity areas. It is also named as Chilka Bird Sanctuary. This place houses more than one hundred fifty species of migratory and residential birds.
It is said that, over million migratory birds snuggle here during the winter season. If you love to watch birds and are passionate about them, then winter season is the best time for one to visit Chilka Lake. Many rare birds are also in the list of birds that frequent Chilka.
The migratory avi-fauna come here from as far as Iran, Siberia, Afghanistan and the Himalayas. Few species of birds are White bellied sea Eagles, Flamingos, Storks, Egrets, Gray and Purple Herons, and White Ibis, Brahminy Ducks, Shovellers, Spoonbills and Pintails. Apart from Avifauna, Chilka Lake is equally prosperous in marine life as well.
More than two hundred species of fishes have been found here. Irrawady Dolphins are one of the major attractions found here and is famous among sightseer and kids.
Not alone Chilka but many other places around the lake attract tourists equally.
This place is about twenty two km from Chilka Lake. It is said that Goddess Narayani beautifies the valley hill-top which is surrounded by a stream. This place serves as an ideal picnic spot.
It is at a distance of eleven kilometers from Chilka Lake. Nirmaljhara has earned its name as the best place for picnic as well as pilgrimage. It is a watercourse that appears out from the feet of a Vishnu image and adds to the significance and sacredness of the place.
It is located at about forty two kilometers from Chilka Lake. It is famous for the ancient temple of Goddess Bhagabati. Banpur has earned iconic status as a hub of religious activities. It was once the capital of Sailodvaba dynasty, in charge for the construction of the early temples in Bhubaneswar.
The large number of Buddhist images found at Banpur proves that the place is the site for Buddhist art and culture. The temple of "Dakshya Prajapati" is a fine example of extraordinary artistic excellence of Oriya art. Banpur is just eight kilometers away from Balugaon and forty two kilometres from Rambha and around hundred kilometers from Bhubaneswar.
The area of the Chilika Lake, not including the area declared as Sanctuary has been declared as a 'Closed Area' for a phase of 5 years with effect from sixteenth December 2002. The State Environment Department and the Chilka Development Authority have undertaken several measures for conservation and management of this exclusive wetland and its rich multifariousness, with the support of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India.
Some measures like Protection of migratory waterfowl and other species against poaching, Weed control, restoration of the feeding and roosting habitat of water fowl, Community participation, Promotion of eco-tourism etc. have been adopted.
Hosts of local hotel are available here. One can also enjoy their stay at OTDC Guest House and Panthanivas. Numerous state owned and private hotels are available which provides first class fooding and lodging. At the southern end of the lake, there are tourist bungalows at places like Rambha and Barkul which is around six kilometers north of Balugaon railway station. Chilka is well known for aquatic food like red crabs and tiger prawns, so one can definitely savour to these mouth watering delicacies here.
The Lake can be visited from morning 7 am to 6 pm daily during the summers. In the winters the Lake is open from 8 am and open till 6 pm in the evening.
With a group of islands having romantic names, a cruise in Chilika Lake will be a life-long memory. One should not miss an opportunity to visit this beautiful place.

Mobile, AL. (Jan. 24)—Pat White grew up watching the Under Armour Senior Bowl from the stands at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Saturday night, in front of an announced crowd of 38,796, the Daphne, Ala. native was the one everyone was watching after an MVP performance in a 35-18 South victory. The former West Virginia star accounted for 126 yards of offense and one touchdown, a 39 yard toss to Mike Wallace in the third quarter.
The South set the tone early, scoring on their second possession of the ballgame after a 16 play, 80 yard drive that was capped off by a four-yard touchdown run by former Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson. Wilson, who was named the Under Armour Offensive Player of the Game, finished the night 7-of-13 for 56 yards passing and 17 yards rushing.
Louie Sakoda's 38 yard field goal in the second quarter cut the South's lead to four, but a pair of one yard touchdown runs by Quinn Johnson and Andre Brown put the South up 21-3 at the half. Brown, a former standout at NC State, was named the Most Outstanding Player on the South team following the victory.
Jeremiah Johnson's four-yard touchdown catch from Nathan Brown gave the North new life at the end of the half, as they trailed 21-10 going into the break. The South stymied that momentum however midway through the third quarter when White threw a perfect pass to former Ole Miss wide receiver Mike Wallace in the corner of the end zone to give the home team a 28-10 lead. The North showed life again early in the fourth quarter on Eric Kettani's one yard plunge and a two point conversion from Jeremiah Johnson, bringing them within 10 points (28-18) early in the fourth quarter.
The South responded with just under nine minutes to play in the game after Peria Jerry fell on a Rhett Bomar fumble in the end zone, giving the South the 35-18 win. The win was the South's second straight in the series and they now lead the North 29-25-1.
Other award winners Saturday were former Tennessee defensive lineman Robert Ayers (Under Armour Defensive Player of the Game) and former Ohio State wide out Brian Robiskie (Most Outstanding Player—North Team). Both were honored along with Brown, Wilson and White immediately following the game in a post-game awards ceremony.

As with making any new topic in a forum, there is a good chance it will backfire and get a bunch of people to stomp you out of existence. Especially when you're not a regular and have no profile pic, like me.
I logged on today and was pleasantly surprised to see everyone who responded to my topic did so as reasonable-minded people. The way people might respond if I asked in a face-to-face meetup.
So thanks for that and for making me feel like I wasn't crazy.
Topic was locked but I want to give credit where it was due

Honestly , i dont think most care about your profile pic or your history in the forums.
People will stomp you if they dislike your ideas , just like others will support you , that is all there is to it.

i am going to attempt to make a cast of a bullfrog leaping. one question. after i make the mold of the frog with latex rubber, what material do i cast it with that would be durable and have good detail? thanks for any advice.
Return to Reptile Taxidermy Category Menu
Forget the latex. That's fine for making a mold off of your cast, but if you intend to use it to make your original mold you are in for a lot of headaches. Use either alginate or fast set silicone for your original mold. Alginate is cheaper but not at all durable - one or two casts and it's done. Silicone is more expensive - but if you take the time to prep your frog into proper position first and cut it out casrefully - your original mold can also serve as your production mold. If you do find that you need to make a new mold and want to then use latex.. a quality silicone spray mold release followed by a high strength low viscosity urethane like por-a-kast is optimal.
I feed my snapper frogs, and someone on the board named Jim bought one from me and made a crazy cool animated mount of it...try to track him down...sorry, but I lost his email!

The Fall - LDoG - Review @ Tiscali Games.cz
Czech site Tiscali Games published a review on Silver Styles post-apocalyptic RPG The Fall - Last Days of Gaya. They gave it 80%, so they probably found it pretty good. Here´s a quote of what looks like the conclusion:
Thanks darghan!
More information.
Aaargh, how long will it take to release the English version anyway :(
Even almost-abandonware Stalker is getting released (thank God)…
Don´t hold your breath …
Surely you don't mean that the English version will never see the light of day?
Which publisher would be interested in a two years old game?
Why do they hate english language?
You can buy the German version and use the fan patch from NMA to play it in English. Fan-made translation, so no legal repercussions.
Though with Games like The Fall we should think about Plan C - it's really nothing great.
Still feeling sorry for the EUR 9.99 that I flushed down the toilet by buying the Reloaded version of this POS *sigh*.
Oh crap! Man, this is horrible :(
Somebody should do something! Sadly, I haven't the foggiest idea…
Is the game such a POS? Wasn't that due to the overwhelming number of bugs and glitches in the older build? Or is it due to bad gameplay and poor story?
[x] Bad gameplay
[x] Bad interface
[x] Very bad party control and item management
[x] Lame trading/merchant system
[x] Still bugs despite being completely reworked for the Reloaded version
[x] Extremely horrible voice acting (that can luckily be turned off)
[x] Horrible sounds & music
[x] Terrible graphics
[x] Lame combat system
[ ] Poor story (dunno never got very far due to all of the above :) )
Wow, Moriendor. That would make it the worst game ever. Any good points? :)
What a disappointment…Oh well, at least I can look forward to The Witcher instead.
I couldn't. I'm too picky. There are way too many other, better high quality games waiting in line to be played that I don't feel like wasting any of my valuable gaming time on a 3rd class game like The Fall. No way Jose.
What's supposed to be good about The Fall according to reviews, however, is the story and the factional system but I only got a few hours into the game and couldn't find the goodness up to that point. As far as I can remember, the game starts out with the mission to find some kidnapped person (your daughter, I think… can't quite remember) so it's not exactly overly original in the beginning. Then you find out what happened to the kidnapped person (not telling here to avoid spoilers :) ) and then the game basically sends you off so you can get to know more about the factions.
The same goes for Spiderweb games. I'm not going to stand on my head and defend Jeff's genius, but the Spiderweb games are expansive and well-designed, tailored to good gameplay and great useability. They dump off on graphics (including any form of graphical progress over games), because that's what they *intend* to do.
That's not the same as the Fall. Though I've never played it, from your description I would surmise that the Fall fails to do in what it attempts to do. This is rarely the case for Spiderweb.
The Fall is a party-based RPG. I have personally played Dungeon Siege and most of Bio's/Obsidian's party-based RPGs. The party management in all of those games is excellent. The interface, the keyboard shortcuts, the (shared) party inventory etc. - I just hated it that a lot of this level of convenience was missing in The Fall.
The same goes for a lot of other (more or less important) features. After playing games that are by far of a higher level of quality than The Fall, I'm finding it very hard to go back and to settle for less.
I guess you could say that I'm a "forward-orientated" gamer, always on the look-out for the "next big thing" and improvements from one game to another. I have a very low tolerance level for annoyances, tedium, boredom, unnecessary micro-management and repetitive actions (whether it's combat, managing the inventory, selling/trading stuff or whatever else). That's why I said that liking The Fall or not might depend on one's individual level of tolerance.

Last January 2010, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. My way of coping with any stress in my life is to spend as much time outdoors as possible. In and out of the house at that time, Cedar was my constant companion. The hikes into the hills, camping in the Gates of the Arctic, sitting at the floatpond watching planes come and go, relaxing on my deck with the redpoles and chickadees flitting from feeder to tree and back.
Cedar sat with me, walked with me, laid still when I cried and held her tight—needing someone who would allow my total, desperate abandon. Don't get me wrong, my husband was amazing, my family, friends and co-workers astounded me with their support and generosity … but Cedar didn't have places to go, things to do. She was just there … making me laugh as I watched her chasing her tail, her excitement over treeing a squirrel, the occasional moose poop indulgence, barking at the curious raven sitting in the tree above her, her wrestling with canine friends. For a little bit, I could watch her, just exuberantly being … and hope that I could be in that same state myself … again … soon.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Women's Global Empowerment Fund, Denver, CO, USA
Women's Global is an incredible organization that has been bringing hope, economic development and education to post-conflict Uganda. The women who are clients of WGEF are nothing short of awe-inspiring in their dedication to improving their lives and the lives of those around them. With the support of WGEF's loans and the newly established literacy program, these women are a new force for sustainable economic, health and education development in northern Uganda. I'm proud to be part of an organization that is empowering women realize their own potential and then use that potential to impact change in our world.

World Junior A Challenge
Canada West 3 vs. Sweden 2
C Brendan O'Donnell, CW: 0-1-1, 0 PIM
Tournament totals: 3 GP, 0-2-2, 0 PIM
Canada West is through to the semifinals after getting the winning goal early in the third period to defeat Sweden. O'Donnell had the primary assist on West's second goal, scored on the power play. West will now face top-seeded USA and Lightning prospect Jimmy Mullin. Switzerland will play Canada East in the other semifinal.
Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 2 @ Montreal Juniors 5
D Charles Landry, MTL: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG, 0 Hits
Season Totals: 10 GP, 0-6-6, +5, 0 PIM
Montreal had a 4-1 lead early in the third period and coasted to a Thursday night win.
Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds 3 @ Peterborough Petes 2 (OT)
D Brock Beukeboom, SSM: 0-0-0, -2, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 17 GP, 0-2-2, -8, 38 PIM
Beukeboom's two game point streak came to an end. The Lightning 2010 second rounder was on the ice for both Petes goals. Beukeboom will play for Team OHL in the Canada-Russia Subway Super Series' fourth game. In Game 3, OHL defeated Russia 4-0 last night. Russia beat the Q twice before moving to the OHL portion of their schedule.
Florida Everblades 4 @ Greenville Road Warriors 5
C Mitch Fadden: 1-1-2, +1, 0 PIM, 4 SOG
Season totals: 11 GP, 5-11-16, -1, 12 PIM
LW Alex Hutchings: 0-0-0, -2, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Season totals: 9 GP, 3-1-4, -5, 4 PIM
G Jaroslav Janus: 8 saves on 12 shots, pulled in
Season totals: 6 GP, 3-2-0-0, 4.43 GAA, .869 sv%, 0 SO
Fadden extended his point streak to 9 games. Janus was pulled after allowing four goals in the first period. The Everblades mounted a furious comeback, scoring twice in the third period, including Fadden's fifth of the season, but they couldn't get the game tying goal.
The Lightning played a lot better than the score indicates.
Dan Ellis allowed 5 goals on 25 shots for the loss. I didn't think he played as poorly as his stat line indicates, either.
First Period
09:27 TB Purcell (2), Bergenheim (4), Thompson (4)
Second Period
02:21 WSH Poti (1), Semin (8), Backstrom (11)
07:51 WSH Knuble (3), Laich (7), Fleischmann (4)
Third Period
02:43 TB Malone (2), St Louis (10), Stamkos (12)(PP)
04:33 WSH Semin (10), Backstrom (12), Ovechkin (13)(PP)
10:46 WSH Semin (11), Backstrom (13), Ovechkin (14)
12:43 TB Stamkos (14), Moore (2), St Louis (11)
15:08 WSH Ovechkin (9), Semin (9), Schultz (4)
19:44 WSH Semin (12), Backstrom (14), Carlson (7)(EN)
It's tough. They outshot the Caps 41-26 in the game and were about even, I imagine, in chances. Their guys beared down on their chances. The Lightning didn't. This could've been a 6-3 game in favor of the Lightning pretty easily if they got the bounces. I'll take the effort the Lightning gave tonight on most nights. The big drama now, though, is what the fallout will be from Vincent Lecavalier not touching the ice in the third period. Injured? Benched? We shall see.
UPDATE: Lecavalier broke his right hand and is out indefinitely.
Mattias Ritola was -1 with 1 shot and 2 hits in 13:20.
Dana Tyrell was -2 in 11:14 with 1 shot. He seemed off tonight.
Box score and extended statistics from NHL.com.
Russia 1 @ Finland 0
Vasily Koshechkin, Russia, Win, SO, 25/25, 0.00 GAA, 1.000 sv%
Tournament totals: 1 GP, 1-0-0, 1 SO, 0.00 GAA. 1.000 sv%
Ex-Lightning first rounder Alexander Svitov scored with 2:10 left in regulation and Vasily Koshechkin made 25 saves to lift Russia to a 1-0 win over Finland in Day One of the Karjala Cup. Ex-Lightning goaltender Karri Ramo sat backup in the match for the Finns.
In the tournament's other match, Sweden edged Czech Republic 4-3 on the strength of three third period goals. Recent Lightning camper Niklas Persson had a helper in the match for Sweden.
Sweden 1 vs. USA 5
C Jimmy Mullin, USA: 1-0-1, 0 PIM
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 4-0-4, 0 PIM
Mullin scored his tournament-leading fourth goal early in the first period, and the Americans scored three more in the second before Sweden found the scoresheet as USA easily disposed of the Swedes 5-1 in Penticton, B.C. USA is looking for its third-straight gold medal. They stand alone at the top of the standings with six points after two games and along with Switzerland will get a bye to the semifinals.
Canada West 4 vs. Russia 2
C Brendan O'Donnell, CW: 0-0-0, 0 PIM
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-1-1, 0 PIM
Canada West had a 2-0 lead midway through the game, but that quickly vanished by the end of the second period. Tied at 2 entering the third, Canada scored twice in the final frame to take the win. They will play Sweden on Thursday in the quarterfinals.
Oshawa Generals 4 @ Belleville Bulls 0
G Michael Zador, OSH: Did not play.
Season Totals: 7-3-1-1, 3.48 GAA, .880 sv%, 1 SO
C/W Richard Panik, BEL: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Season totals: 19 GP, 11-11-22, +1, 25 PIM
Belleville only managed 16 shots against Zador's (former?) backup Kevin Bailie, who was getting his second straight start. The Bulls have been searching for offense as a whole all season.
Portland Winterhawks 5 @ Regina Pats 4 (OT)
RW Carter Ashton, REG: 1-0-1, -2, 0 PIM
Season totals: 18 GP, 8-7-15, -8, 34 PIM
This was a good showing for the Pats against the league's top team. Portland needed a late goal to force overtime. Blue Jackets first round pick Ryan Johansen had a goal for Portland, his eighth of the year, and Islanders first rounder Nino Niederreiter went without a point against Regina. After a slow start, Ashton has 12 points in his last 10 games, including goals in his last two.
The machine keeps rolling.
Cedrick Desjardins allowed 3 goals on 25 shots for the win. Gotta love six goals of support.
First Period
NOR Jones, (5) (Pouliot, Harju), 6:23
NOR Szczechura, (6) (Wishart, Roy), 16:45 (PP)
NOR Giliati, (1) (Angelidis, Gudas), 17:25
NOR Wright, (4) (Szczechura, Fornataro), 18:20
ALB Anderson, (4) (Urbom, Zharkov), 19:10
Second Period
ALB Palmieri, (3) (Urbom, Sestito), 3:13
ALB Anderson, (5) (Fayne, Zharkov), 15:42
NOR Harju, (7) (Roy, Wishart), 18:14 (PP)
Third Period
NOR Fornataro, (4) (Wright, Barberio), 9:41
James Wright and Matt Fornataro were the game's first and third stars. Norfolk's 51 goals scored so far this season is currently tied for third behind Portland and Oklahoma City. Marc-Antoine Pouliot is tied for fourth in the league with 18 points with, among others, Oklahoma City's Linus Omark. He's also third in the league in helpers. Johan Harju is tied for eighth in the league in scoring with 16 points. Harju's 7 goals also ties him for ninth in the league in that category. Ty Wishart and Mathieu Roy are tied for seventh in the league in points among defensemen with 10 a piece.
Bottom line, they're good.
Box score from TheAHL.com.
Seattle Thunderbirds 5 @ Saskatoon Blades 4 (SO)
D Teigan Zahn, SAS: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
Season totals: 19 GP, 1-5-6, +7, 32 PIM
Saskatoon allowed 2 third period goals, enabling Seattle to tie the game. The Thunderbirds then scored once in the shootout for the win. With his assist Tuesday, Zahn extended his point streak to a career-long 4 games. While that may be ho-hum for some, considering Zahn only had 3 points (all assists) all of last season, it's a major achievement. His career high for points is 19, set in 2007-2008 with the Blades in 69 games. He was drafted by the Blackhawks in the fifth round after that season.
The Lightning made Toronto look like an AHL team, and it wasn't nearly Tampa Bay's best effort.
Dan Ellis stopped all 28 shots he faced for the shutout. He made key saves when the Lightning needed them to make sure the Leafs didn't sustain a comeback surge. Very good effort.
First Period
11:10 TB Stamkos (12), St Louis (9), Lecavalier (6)(PP)
11:39 TB Thompson (1), Lundin (3), Tyrell (1)
19:13 TB Moore (5), Jones (4), Malone (7)
Second Period
Third Period
05:46 TB Stamkos (13), Hall (3),Ohlund (1)
Dan Ellis, Steven Stamkos, and Dominic Moore were the game's three stars. The Lightning got away with sleepwalking through the second period because they're just a superior team talent-wise relative to Toronto and because Ellis played well tonight. I suspect Boucher will not let the Lightning get to happy about this win, because they didn't play as well as the scoreboard indicates. Still, it's a good way to snap a three game skid and, for the moment, climb back withing two points of the Caps in the division. To me that's the key. The Lightning need to maintain contact with Washington in the standings and hope they can win the balance of the head-to-head matches with Washington. If they do that, they can be a one or two seed in the East at season's end. And, what the Lightning should know from the 2003-2004 campaign is that being a top seed can really help you by giving you two easier rounds to get settled into the playoffs before the bombs start dropping in the conference finals.
Stupid Canadian media moment of the night: Sportsnet Canada's studio hosts claiming that the Lightning simply had to trade Steven Stamkos to Boston for draft picks. They must've smoked their body weight in dope before going on camera. Don't do drugs, kids, or you might end up as a studio host in Toronto being forced to watch 82 games of a horrible hockey team.
Mattias Ritola had 1 hit in 9:56. As I've said before, he's an NHLer from the blueline in.
Dana Tyrell had an assist and was +1 with 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 14:11. Another high intensity night for Dana. I liked it. He was a thorn in Toronto's side.
Canada East 1 vs. USA 6
C Jimmy Mullin, USA: 3-0-3, 0 PIM
USA opened defense of their 2009 Gold medal with a convincing 6-1 win over Canada East. Lightning prospect Jimmy Mullin led the way for the Americans with a hat trick. He was originally credited with an assist on USA's first goal, but it was later changed to his goal. The Fargo Force (USHL) forward followed that up with USA's second goal, giving the Americans a 2-1 lead in the second period. He completed the hat trick in Penticton, B.C., with the USA's final goal mid-way through the third period. (Hockey Canada photo)
Canada West 4 vs. Switzerland 5 (OT)
C Brendan O'Donnell, CW: 0-1-1, 0 PIM
Canada West found themselves down 3-0 going into the third period of their WJAC opener before mounting a furious comeback to send the game to overtime. Lighting prospect Brendan O'Donnell, playing on his home ice in Penticton, earned the primary assist on West's game tying goal with just over 6 minutes to go in the game. The Swiss won on an overtime goal scored on the power play. West had taken a delay of game penalty in the closing seconds of the third period.
Baie-Comeau Drakkar 3 @ Montreal Juniors 5
D Charles Landry, MTL: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG, 0 Hits
Season Totals: 9 GP, 0-6-6, +5, 0 PIM
Landry continues to pile up assists since his return from injury. The Drakkar have lost their last 21 games (0-16-2-3). They've won once this season.
Plymouth Whalers 6 @ Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds 3
D Brock Beukeboom, SSM: 0-1-1, -1, 2 PIM (closing hand on puck)
Season Totals: 16 GP, 0-2-2, -6, 38 PIM
After going his first 14 games without a point, Beukeboom has assists in his last two contests.
Brandon Wheat Kings 1 @ Regina Pats 4
RW Carter Ashton, REG: 1-1-2, +1, 2 PIM (hooking), *Second Star*
Season totals: 17 GP, 7-7-14, -6, 34 PIM
A big win for Regina, who is now two points away from escaping the East Division cellar.

Shin Bet Exploits 'Emergency Rules' in 17 Percent of Detainee Cases, MKs Told
The Shin Bet security service has interrogated 270 detainees from Gaza since the beginning of the year, officials told the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee yesterday. In one out of six cases, or 17 percent, the Shin Bet used extraordinary measures, as permitted by emergency regulations.
The Shin Bet said that in 44 cases it delayed bringing a detainee before a judge for 48 hours; in three of those cases the delay was 72 hours, and in one case, 96 hours passed before the detainee was brought before a judge. In 16 of the cases, the Shin Bet made use of the option to extend a detainee's remand a second time while not in his presence.
The Shin Bet is seeking an 18-month extension on the temporary emergency provisions that allow such unusual procedures, which are due to expire at the end of the year. Committee chairman MK Menahem Ben-Sasson (Kadima) said he would not call for an immediate vote on the extension, as it is necessary to consider limiting the broad authority granted to the Shin Bet.
The emergency order also has allowed the service to arrest Gaza residents even after the disengagement and the end of military rule in the Strip. The Shin Bet has been given more extensive powers than those of ordinary arrest and detention, in order to thwart terror attacks. For example, a suspect may not be brought so speedily before a judge if a senior Shin Bet officer has determined that stopping an interrogation for this purpose would seriously impair it.
The Military Advocate General (MAG) sent the committee a document stating its opposition to extending the emergency regulations. In it, MAG argued that the orders "impair basic human rights such as the right to personal liberty, the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, etc."

Although many obstacles still lie ahead, supporters of same-sex marriage hope a historic victory in New York will build momentum for their cause nationwide.
Legislators approved a bill late Friday making New York the sixth — and by far the most populous — state to legalize same-sex marriage.
Activists hope the vote will help convince judges and politicians across the country — including President Barack Obama — that support of same-sex marriage is now a mainstream viewpoint and a winning political stance.
Fred Sainz of the Human Rights campaign says New York's law "sends the message that marriage equality across the country is a question of 'when,' not 'if.'"
Action by Congress or the Supreme Court will likely be needed if same-sex marriage is to be recognized nationally.

My Ford Escort Mk I is a well built car. She has a large engine bay (there is a lot of unused space) which alows for a larger engine to be installed if required. Her body is very strong and the pannel beating is easier. There are no computerised parts and no fuel injection, so she can be harder to drive, (compared to now-a-days cars) but she will not give problems that cannot be fixed. It is also easier to tweak the engine as there are no chips, computerised parts. She is also a rear wheel car… Read Full Review

Collision sends Washington cyclist to hospital
WASHINGTON, Iowa (GTNS) – A Washington woman remains at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City this morning after a vehicle struck her as she was riding her bike on 250th Street in Washington Monday afternoon.
According to Washington County Sheriff Jerry Dunbar, two vehicles were driving eastbound on 250th Street shortly before 5 p.m. He said that the driver of the second vehicle reported that the first vehicle made an abrupt turn. He said that the driver had reported that there was a cyclist in the roadway and he hadn't had time to see her. According to the Washington Call Log, the vehicle's rear view mirror hit the cyclist. No ticket was issued, according to the police log. No mention was made if any charges are pending.
Carol Stull, the bicyclist, suffered several fractures — including broken ribs, a broken leg and a broken ankle — and bruising on her left side, according to her husband, Bill Fairchild. He said that Stull is out of danger. Fairchild also said that Stull had been wearing a fluorescent vest at the time of the accident to make herself more visible to drivers.
"She was out getting ready for RAGBRAI," Fairchild said. "She had been biking a lot on county roads. She was pretty avid."
He said that the accident had occurred on the hill west of the Crooked Creek Bridge. He also said that he didn't think she was going very fast trying to climb the hill and also commented that it was a no-passing zone.

Once the root diskette is loaded I configure basic things like keyboard, etc., and I mount my swap and root partitions.

For this I select the option "Configure Device Driver Modules" but I get the error message (I press alt-F3 to see it) "configured modules; modconf returned 32512" I'm stuck at this point. Can anyone help me here? Thank you, -- Pedro

My background as a farm girl and living where stored food was a necessity as well as my wish to find a way to dry my herbs led to both the invention of the Living Foods Dehydrator (the first electric food dehydrator) by my husband Bob, and the writing of "Dry It, You'll Like It" by me.
Along the way to inventing an electric dehydrator, we found many non-electric ways to dehydrate food. The basic principle of drying is the movement of warm air around the thing to be dried. Warm air rises naturally. (The heat-rising principle is Nature's most valuable contribution to the development of dehydrators.) Therefore, setting the food to be dried over a source of heat will do it. Be sure it is not too hot or the heat will cook the food instead of drying it, and destroy the enzymes. Temperatures between 80° and 120° F are the best. Also, make sure it is a gentle air flow not a huge wind.
In this article, we use the word "rack" to mean a framework on legs, and a "tray" as mesh screening stretched over a wooden frame.
I've put sheets over the furniture and dried herbs on them, just at room temperature.
I've taken herbs, and other leafy things, and tied them in clumps and hung them from the ceiling. Also, flowers can be dried this way. It's interesting to see flowers hanging upside down from the ceiling. The benefit of drying them this way is that the stems dry straight instead of flopped over as they would in a vase.
Some people put the herbs or flowers into mesh or cloth bags before hanging them from the ceiling. (Do not use plastic bags or any other type of bag that will block the air flow!)
In Medieval times, people dried apples by slicing them and then loosely stringing them on thread or cord.
The American Indians hung food from tree limbs to dry
It can't be repeated often enough: air flow is the basis of dehydration! So make sure the room you're using has good air flow.
My grandparents used a shed roof as a food dryer. My mother and her siblings took turns sitting on the roof with a huge fan to discourage flying insects.
Another source of the sun's warmth was my grandmother's attic. She had trays, racks and paper-covered floors to arrange the drying foods where they would dry the best. All this was very hard work but necessary for the long Kansas winters where trips to the grocery store were four months apart. Drying foods was an important way of life in those years preceding the 1900's.
One of our neighbors dried walnuts in the attic of her barn. So many attics have lots of heat but not much in the way of air flow. A fan helps, but a fan blowing air into an attic would blow dust onto the food, and also toughen it. A much better way is to have a fan pulling air out of the attic.
We found that dehydrator trays used in pairs will capture the sun's warmth. One tray is used as a screened lid with the food on the other tray. The two then are taped or clamped together. No bugs can have a free lunch and the foods dry safely. Bricks or stones can used to support the trays.
A friend in Oregon used a pile of rocks that were in full sun as a heat source. Her trays were window screens that she borrowed from their regular use and dutifully carried out and each morning to the rack she had built over her pile of rocks. She brought them in each night so that they would stay dry (dew falls at night) and so that the wild things wouldn't have a free meal.
A more modern use of the sun's heat is a sheet of black plastic about ten feet square spread out on the ground. The plastic becomes a solar collector for your dehydrator which stands in the middle of the plastic. For the best use of this method, be sure you have the type of dehydrator where the heat comes up from the bottom and goes out the top. Also, you need to turn the lid crossways so that air comes out of each corner.
In my teens, in the 1930's, we owned a farm of Filbert trees in Oregon, which is when I first saw things being dried. It is very important that nuts are dried if you want to keep them! The nuts were dried in a tumbler over heat. A tumbler could be turned by a hand crank and the heat provided by a wood fire.
American Indians dried food on a rock above a campfire. This is one of the ways they made pemmican.
One of our friends smoked meats to dry them in a smoke house.
We found that you need to use at least two ceiling hooks to hang your dehydrator over a wood stove. If hooks aren't possible, make or find a rack that will straddle the stove.
Drying food on a rack over a wood stove is a pioneer design. The National Geographic (June, 1917) has pictures showing food drying on racks over a wood stove. In this case, they don't have the dehydrator and the food is either directly on the racks, or on trays that are set on the racks. Another way we found to dry food is to pin them in bundles with clothes pins to a clothes line that is hung over the stove!
Or hang them from the ceiling here where it's warm! Garlic can be dried this way, or apple slices on strings or bundles of herbs.
My hot water heater was my first dryer. I took the insulation off the top of my hot water heater and put my drying tray over the top. This was a dependable heat source.
Coils of copper pipe or other flexible pipes can be built into a hot water heater for a dehydrator, much the same way as bottom-mounted heating unit is used. In one method, the hot water first goes through the hot water heater (which can be part of a wood stove), then under the dehydrator and then into the hot water tank.
One of my dryers was simply a tray on a rack over a propane heater. (Make sure that the propane heater is properly vented.)
Friends in Canada set their dryer over a steam radiator.
Setting a dryer over a heat register would work, too. You'll need a filter, such as an old towel or a piece of terry cloth, to keep the dust out of the dryer. Simply cover the register with the cloth and then wash the cloth frequently.
There are many, many ways to dry things without electricity. Look around, maybe you'll invent a new one! Just keep in mind that air movement is the secret of all drying for all items and you'll do well.

Farmington man is tops behind the wheel
Farmington resident David "Chuck" Palmer came out on top of the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority's seventh annual Bus Roadeo earlier this month.
Drivers from both the Burnsville and Eagan bus garages operated by Schmitty & Sons Transit Services took written and driving tests covering various turns, stops, safety issues, smoothness and other driving-related issues.
There were 15 drivers participating in the competition. Lakeville resident Gregg Smith took second and Rosemount residnet George Kaminski took third.
Palmer, who took second place in 2007, and Smith, who took top honors in 2006, second place in 2008 and third place in 2004, will travel to the Statewide Roadeo July 24 in Alexandria.
"We use the MVTA Bus Roadeo to sharpen the skills and written knowledge of our drivers, in a fun and competitive environment," said MVTA operations manager Samantha Porter. "Family members and friends attend this annual event that is designed to create camaraderie and heighten everyone's awareness about bus driving," she said.
The MVTA is the public transportation provider for the businesses and residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount, and Savage.

Nope as in "Nope, they're not EV trained," or nope as in, "Nope, I don't know?"
June 13th, 2007, 6:29 PM
Well, after my "experiences" *cough* in Colosseum, the opponents' pokemon usually have no EVs and 0 IVs in all stats so they are pretty weak. However, since all of the Elite 4 pokemon have 31 IVs and no EVs, I'm sure any of the arena bosses or whatever in PBR will have max IV pokemon and no EVs.

I tried virgin bingo a few years back, but came back recently to the site to find that they have now casino games for your mobile. They have very nice slots, even though the games you play on your pc still look much better. There's also a mobile bingo game but not much interest playing that to be honest. All in all, having tried a good few mobile games before, i find the virgin site quite entertaining and very easy to navigate. Very pleasantly surprised!

Critical Tour in Israel, August 2007
In connection with WRI Council and Seminar in Neve-Shalom - Wahat al-Salam, August 2007, prof. Uri Davies organised a Critical tour to Israel.
Canada Park. A "non-segregational" recreational park with some "nice historical ruins". The park is built on top of 3 old Arab villages bombed to the ground in 1948 - thus the historical ruins. The park is in close vicinity of desecrated arab cemetaries. Canada park lies beyond the "green line" and would be concidered illegal occupation under the UN Security council resolutions. The park is built with Canadian donations through the Jewish National Fund.
___ is a rich neighbourhood in Tel-Aviv. Formerly multiethnic neighbourhood was occupied by ethnic jewish residents while the ethnic arab realestate owners fled in a fear violence in 1948. When in 1991 majority of the jewish population fled in fear of Iraqi missile attack the ownership of realestate was not tranfered to those staying behind. The undemolished mosque in ___ is a symbol of the good intentions of the State of Israeli towards other religious or ethnic groups.
The Israeli arab population of 20% of Israeli citizens is by law resticted to reside only on 7% of the area of State of Israel. Of this 7% only about half is actualized. In other parts there is active harrasment through bureacracy, especially regarding building permits.
The oldest building in the originally arab, now multiethnic town of Lida (Lod) is not in good condition. The town administation has repeatedly prohibeted renovating/concerving this historical arab dwelling. Also most non religious arab/muslim historical sites are simply left to erode. This is seen as a sublte effort to in time erase the non jewish history of Palestine.

Well played.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Nicely done
You fooled me there with the thumbnail image, I was thinking, "wtf? a grade school art can get to the featured list?"
Anyways, this is awesome. I like the green ambiance that reflects the nastiness that awaits. I love illustrations that can tell a story.

SÃO PAULO, March 7 (Reuters) - Brazil's Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais, or Cemig, said it had teamed up with a Colombian partner to bid for Colombia's third-biggest power generator, Isagen SA.
In a statement, Cemig said it had formed a consortium with Empresas Públicas de Medellín, another Colombian company, to make a bid for Isagen.
The move is part of efforts by Cemig, Brazil's second-largest power utility, to expand in fast-growing markets and industry segments. Colombia's government has been seeking buyers for its 56.7 percent stake in Isagen. (Reporting by Alberto Alerigi Jr; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)
