Save your eyes, get a proper ebook reader
As someone who can happily spend an entire weekend buried in a book there's no way I'd do that on a smartphone. It'd be fine for a commute (were I to use public transport) but for a proper sesh? No chance.
Speaking more generally, I've been sceptical about ebook readers. Since moving my mountain of paper books around has shown me it's not as "pointless bling" as I'd thought. So once my "to read" pile goes down, I'll be in the market for an ebook reader.

Blighty's kids nosedive down global reading, maths rankings
I'm one of the lucky ones
Educated in the 80s before the relentless pressure to have better exam results year-on-year did too much damage (it was definitely there though). There are some things I resent: religious dogma at the expense of science and having to learn grammar via a foreign language because it's not taught in English but all in all we left school equipped to think for ourselves.
These days it seems the only thing kids leave school with is a bag full of noddy exams and a colossal sense of entitlement that their intellectual abilities do little to justify. We've let down an entire generation. By "we" I mean successive governments.
Blimey I've turned into my dad.

WikiLeaks ousted from Amazon US
Sooo you think that hosting the leaks in the US is bigger news than the leaks themselves? Sure? I've only read about this is in the Reg. I don't recall seeing anything about the hosting on the mainstream news sites I read; they're all too busy covering the leaks themselves.
"Whilst I laud the original aims of wikileaks it seems to have become a publicity vehicle for Julian Assage with everything designed to ensure max publicity to boost his ego and martyr image."
Very, sadly true. Hosting wikileaks in the US serves no purpose for freedom of information (small letters). He's just trying to get more column inches. Just expose the dirty laundry and leave the celebutard BS to Hilton, Lohan et al.

I'm setting up 70 thin clients and will be keeping them in a workgroup with all the same computer names, however they will be given unique static IPs. Can anyone see issues with all these machines being on the network (but not on the domain) with the same computer name?
The function of these thin clients is to only act as a remote desktop connection client.

According to a report released on September 7, 2010 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), smoking rate remains unchanged in 2009 with about 1 in 5 adults still smoke regularly. Meanwhile, teen smoking has also not been improving, and remains at nearly 20 percent.
Since 2004, smoking rate has been flat after falling dramatically since the 1960s through heavy tobacco taxes. Perhaps the health authorities have lost momentum because of reductions of anti-tobacco campaigns, or a lack of funding to support programs that help smokers quit. Meanwhile, cigarette producers have come up with brilliant marketing strategies to increase their sales.
It is the second report that indicated nearly all children (98 percent) who live with a smoker have measurable tobacco toxins in their body worried health experts.
Environmental tobacco smoke (passive smoke or more commonly known as secondhand smoke) can cause chronic respiratory conditions, cancer and heart disease. It is estimated that each year, around 35,000 nonsmokers who exposed to secondhand smoke die from heart disease.
In surveying a total of more than 30,000 nonsmokers between 1999 and 2008, it was found that the detectable levels of cotinine had dropped over the 10 years, from about 52 percent to 40 percent. The reduction could be due to more smoking bans in workplaces, restaurants and other public places.
Nevertheless, the findings also highlighted some bad news. For example, most of the decline in smoking rate came about 10 years ago, and more than half of the children aged between 3 and 11 living in United States are exposed to secondhand smoke with no safe level of exposure. And more importantly, there has been virtually no improvement for children who live with a smoker.

To say Emily Ratajkowski is having a "moment" might be the understatement of the year. The "Blurred Lines" video scene-stealer and current GQ obsession (just check out these photos) is not only turning her attention to the big screen, nabbing a part in Ben Affleck's Gone Girl adaptation, but also piling up the modeling gigs. David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, the duo behind R&B, were clearly as smitten with Ratajkowski as the rest of mankind and so tapped her to star in their latest D.I.Y. ad campaign. The shots show a more relaxed side of the brunette beauty (no stuffed goats here), shot by Ratajkowski's pals and inspired by her recent move to NYC.

It started a few months back when the owner of Chick-fil-A expressed some personal opinions regarding the definition of marriage. The company's chief executive, Dan Cathy, believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman. A group of Gay Rights supporters suggested a boycott of all Chick-fil-A restaurants. An equally strong group of traditional marriage supporters organized an "appreciation day" where traditional marriage believers would eat at the chicken restaurant to show support.
Chick-fil-A is now an official Red Food.
The NYC soda ban (see my blog) puts supporters of Mayor Bloomberg's attempt to limit soda size as true Blue Fooders.
Shortly before the election, John Schnatter, the CEO of Papa John's Pizza, said that President Obama's re-election will cause him to lay off workers and raise prices. Red Food.
Organic/sustainable foods lean Blue.
The founder of Carl's Jr. supported a proposition to fire gay teachers and earned his hamburgers the nickname, bigot burgers. The Waffle House used centralized corporate funds to become a major supporter of Karl Rove's group, American Crossroads. White Castle likes to support the seriously conservative Congressional Leadership Fund Super PAC.
Vote with Your Fork is a popular Blue Food bumper sticker.
The ultimate political play may be the "Right Wing Tavern" in Woodstock, Ga.
The traditional adage is, keep peace in the family; do not bring politics to the dinner table. As a nation, we are mingling politics and bread more often and in a very public way. What's a pizza operator to do? Entering politics will alienate some customers and attract others. With a challenged economy, no restaurant operator can afford to lose sales to support a political party. But what of personal conviction and what about free speech?
Dan Cathy of Chick-fil-A, never intended for his personal beliefs to become public, but they did. Papa John's did intend to sway votes and saw its stock price tumble. Do pizza operators have the right to say what they believe? The answer is, of course they do. Blue or Red, Left or Right, pizza operators are people and voters.
In a country increasingly divided across party politics, asking customers to vote with their fork is a risky proposition. Running a business today is difficult enough without drawing negative criticism. Yelp, Facebook and Urbanspoon postings can be vicious and hard to counter. Best to keep your opinions close to the vest, silence is golden, but that is another fairy tale.

Hungry4Equality Strike Gets Worldwide Attention
By Crystal Proxmire
Originally printed 8/9/2012 (Issue 2032 - Between The Lines News)
For some, being an active citizen means scarfing down a chicken sandwich at a fast food joint. But for the people involved in the 100-day hunger strike, activism is about more than just a one-time show of support. Hungry4Equality is a 100-day strike relay where strikers sit on camera for 24 hours in the window of Affirmations, and sustain themselves only through liquids for one day at a time.
The relay-style protest has been in force for over a week now, and community center partners are excited about the progress. "People are really paying attention," said Affirmations Executive Director Dave Garcia. "The story has made it to media throughout the world. And now it's time to keep the momentum going."
Leaders from all eight community centers in Michigan completed the first week of hunger striking. The cohesiveness of the Community Center Network shows a historically high level of teamwork, and the statewide effort is a strong beginning to everyone in the state working together. Each day of week one, a different Community Center Executive Director took over the couch in the name of their organization. After their shift, each has gone back to their hometowns with energy and information that will help them carry on the fight for equality in their region of the state.
Ray Magdaleno of Detroit Latinos took day 7 of the strike. "It was amazing. Very uplifting to see families walk by and stop and read the signs, genuinely interested in what they were reading."
He was referring to the giant posters in the front window of the Affirmations Community Center. The poster lists the reasons for the strike and a list of six politicians whose anti-gay legislative work is harming the community.
Other leaders had similar responses. "It was nice to see all the people walk by on the street and wave to us," said Pat Ward of The Network in Grand Rapids. "Some came in and started talking to us, to tell their stories. Everyone was really nice, and I never felt like we were just shoved in a corner."
Back home in Grand Rapids the torch carries on, as Ward prepares to report about the experience in the Network News. They've also hung a banner in their building and provide information about the strike to those that use The Network. There may also be an open house where Ward will talk about the efforts.
Overall Ward's excited about the collaboration.
"When I joined the CCN group this is exactly what I thought we should be doing. Most states are lucky to even have one community center. In Michigan there are so many, and now we can influence representatives as a solid front."
Ward did several media interviews while she was in town, including a half-hour discussion that was taped by a graduate student for a documentary about gay rights. Word of the protest has spread worldwide, and Affirmations Communications Director Cass Varner has counted over 100 different articles about it, including some overseas. Anti-equality publications as well as mainstream media have also picked it up.
"The story kind of took a couple of different forms when it was released so there wasn't really any surprise to that, however, I was surprised that a couple of fundamentalist groups picked it up and used the story to feed their anti-gay rhetoric. I was also surprised initially when we put this out on our social media streams, how many instant anti-gay rants we received - "I hope you all starve," "gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married or adopt," etc. We also got a few 'this is stupid' or 'this won't help anything' comments as well. I'm glad though that the vast majority is overwhelmingly excited with this campaign. It's really exciting knowing that the community centers all over Michigan are 100 percent behind this effort and working together," Varner said.
An email came from England for example, from a woman named Angela Burrow. "I don't live in Michigan, or even in the U.S., but I just wanted you to know that I will conduct a 24-hour hunger strike as a show of support. Please let me know when your campaign starts so I can join you in spirit. I am lucky in that here in the UK. I have the same rights as everyone else. Apart from I can only have a civil partnership instead of a marriage, but even that looks like it will be changing in the next couple of years. Take care and good luck with the campaign."
Now that news of the hunger strike has spread, Garcia and the Center Network partners must work hard to keep the momentum going. They are seeking out strikers and strike supporters, and reaching out to any celebrities, bands, nonprofit groups, political leaders who would like to take the stage. "We need people to get involved. We need community members and allies. Change will only come if people stand up with us," said Garcia.
When the hunger strike opened up to the general public on day 8, Alex Allen of Ferndale was the first in line. The Oakland University student is studying English and communications, and hopes to work for a nonprofit one day.
"I think it's every individual's responsibility to take care of the community and educate people about the issues, take political action and be public about it. We can't expect people who are already established as leaders to do it on their own," said Allen.
"The thing that bothers me the most is HB 5039, the bill that takes away the human rights ordinances cities have worked so hard to put in place. I find that to be hugely discriminatory in and of itself, but also it limits us to be able to expand. It limits the rights of communities. Cities should have ordinances that include everyone and doing it city by city is a way to show this is important to the cities," she added.
Overall, Allen said, people need to act. "Contacting their representatives, writing letters, making phone calls, educating their friends about what's going on, staying up on the issues. Research and stay knowledgeable," she said.
Executive Director Zack Bauer of the Resource Center in Kalamazoo said this is the perfect time for individuals to hold the spotlight as activists.
"Activism is this unobtainable thing they want to do, but can't because of work or family obligations, or because they just don't know how. This is a way to do something to get involved and be a part of something bigger than you," he said.
Bauer said going without food was not hard, and that Affirmations staff made the whole experience easy by providing lots of good conversation and support. After his 24-hour stint, Bauer headed back to the west side of the state, stopping first in Ann Arbor to grab a sandwich from Zingerman's Deli.

Move Forward with Your Goals the Feng Shui Way!
Jump start the new year with a few of these simple tricks.
I hope this new year brings you a lot of money, good health and amazing relationships.
You need a digital compass in order to get this right; preferably, an iPhone, iPad or any smart phone compass is the best. Also, make sure to give this three months to see changes—for most people, immediate shifts will happen—but stay patient.
Whatever your goals may be, every single person, based on their gender and when they were born, has a direction that supports them with money, relationships and health. The first step is figuring out your Gua number—once you have that, find the directions that support you with relationships, health and money on the charts provided below.
To find your Gua number, based on your birth date, go here. If you're born January 1st—February 4th, use the previous year as your year of birth, because the Chinese solar calendar doesn't begin until February 4th. If you're born February 5th—December 31st, then use the year you were born.
Once you find your Gua number, go here to find your +90 (Sheng Qi) money direction, +80 (Tien Yi) health direction and +70 (Yen Nien) relationship direction.
Here are some simple techniques to utilize your directions:
> Start sleeping with your head to your money, relationship or health direction, depending on what your goal is.
> When you're meeting with clients, face your money direction to ensure that you close the deal, make more money, get new clients and resolve a difficult transaction easily.
> At work, whether in your home office or business, situate your desk to face your money, relationship or health direction.
> Lastly, start walking in and out of doors, whether in your home or office that face your money, relationship or health direction, exclusively.
Pick a goal that you want to work on. For example, if you want to start dating and/or getting married is on your list of goals this year, use your relationship direction. If you want to make more money this year, use your money direction. If you want to improve your health or have a stellar year for fitness related goals, use your health direction.
If you want all of the above then mix it up by moving your bed to your money direction, face your relationship direction when you're working and walk in and out of doors that face your health direction.
However, the quickest and best way to make this system work for you is if you pick one goal and utilize that direction for your bed, doors, facing direction, working direction. Remember, we are only limited by our thoughts and the world around us.
You can do it! Make this your year to shine! Happy New Year!

Professional organization climate specialists would also see this is a key factor in the work environment – to a have a settlement where people would find it easier to work in. We can start by using a postage meter and any other tools that facilitate people`s work and end by using colors and furniture that would enhance their productivity.
With the latest big investments in the city, there was a slight influence on the market from which citizens can benefit. Namely, one has the possibility to purchase cheaper hardwood flooring and gets to pay less to a contractor to remodel the house. This is what happens in economy when a market gets crowded, so to say it. Prices go down.
I guide my whole life around the rules of feng shui. People might say this is unreasonable, but not once did I come to realize this really works. I even arranged my bedroom furniture according to the feng shui principles and I have managed to reestablish the balance of my own house. I feel great, I sleep better, the air is different.
Everything that anyone would like for their house remodeling or home redecoration is available out there, these days. The Flag Company seems to produce these useful items that no one would refuse on a sales and discounts campaign. As a matter of fact, time is all that one needs to prospect the market.

CallGenie and R.H. Donnelley Launch Local Voice Search
Yellow pages publisher R.H. Donnelley (RHD), which recently acquired Business.com and owns search marketing firm LocalLaunch, is testing a new voice local mobile search product, 1-800-CallDex, in four U.S. markets: Denver, Phoenix, Spokane (WA) and Tucson. It offers a suite of services powered by speech and local mobile search enabler CallGenie, which is also behind similar services in Canada and with several U.S. partners including Verizon.
CallGenie enables local category search via neighborhood, near an intersection or a landmark in addition to traditional "name and number" search.
RHD, which owns the DexKnows Internet yellow pages site, is the latest to join the "free directory assistance" movement. Others already in the segment include:
- Jingle Networks (1-800-Free411)
- AT&T's 1-800-YellowPages
- Google's Goog411
- Dial Directions
- Microsoft's Tellme
- Say Hello
- 1-800-SanDiego
The new 1-800-CallDex service is a trial, but it's likely to take hold because of this competitive landscape and the billions of calls that come through conventional directory assistance. When it comes to mobile, publishers and providers need a diversified strategy to reach consumers. Voice and "free DA" represent the broadest market potential and lowest barrier to entry for consumers in mobile.
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Search Engine Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong! SMX has practical tips & techniques for those experienced with SEO & SEM plus a welcoming environment for beginners. Learn more!

Beautiful architecture and grounds. Excellent service from the friendly staff. Room was a little musty upon entry, but aired out nicely. Beds are firm. Basic breakfast included cereal, bagels, butter, jelly, English muffins, fruit, coffee, tea, juice, pastries. Over all a nice, quiet retreat near hiking, biking and beautiful ocean views.

Climate Change Adaptation
Link to Matthew Kahn's working paper on Climate Change Adaptation: Lessons From Urban Economics.
One of the Better Books on Strategy
From A.G. Lafley (former Chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble) and Roger L. Martin (Dean, Rotman School of Management at Toronto) - Playing To Win: How Strategy Really Works. Reduces the complexity of strategic thinking and planning to the following:
- What is your winning aspiration? The purpose of your enterprise, its motivating aspiration.
- Where will you play? A playing field where you can achieve that aspiration.
- How will you win? The way you will will on the chosen playing field.
- What capabilities must be in place? The set and configuration of capabilities required to win in the chosen way.
- What management systems are required? The systems and measures that enable the capabilities and support the choices.
The book also points our the major themes that lead to ineffective strategic thinking:
- They define strategy as a vision - - vision offers no guide to productive actions and is not an explicit road map. This is a huge problem that I have seen during my career.
- They define strategy a a plan - - a detailed plan does not imply sustainable competitive advantage. Plans make people more comfort - - especially in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Being comfortable and thinking in terms of strategic competitive advantage are two different things.
- They deny the long-term (or even medium-term) strategy is possible - - Yes, things are uncertain and complex, but always thinking in a reactive mode is very dangerous mode. Value can come from long-term strategic clarity.
- They define strategy as the optimization of the status quo - - Being all about optimization and greater efficiency is not strategic thinking. While you are thinking optimization and efficiency - the other person is thinking revolution and transformation. Your clients and customers are demanding cheaper, faster, and better. Strategic thinking requires thinking and actions beyond just managing takeoffs.
- They define strategy as following best practices - - Following the path of everyone else just leads to sameness. Following the other sheep is not robust strategic thinking.

This axe reminds me of one I called the 'Pillager' a couple of years ago. It is a Viking style axe forged from a single piece of 5160 and the total weight, including haft, is 2 pounds 12 oz. The haft is hand-hewn Diamond willow.. a beautiful, light and strong wood.
I'm asking $200 as pictured.
Here is a laminated kogatana-type Japanese inspired knife. It can be used as a small general use utility knife and is razor sharp. It will have a neck lanyard for use as a 'neck knife' if this is desired or it's compact enough to fit in a front pocket. And with the display it can be kept on a desk top. The blade was forged from shear steel I made in my woodstove by encasing historical wrought iron in clay and charcoal and baking for a week or so to carburize it into blister steel and then fold into a 'shear steel'.. a very historically important steel used in early America. This is laminated to modern high carbon steel. The blade tang has my maker's mark inlaid in bronze and the wooden saya is curly maple. There is an ebony pin to keep blade fit tight in the event it ever loosens through sharpening and wear.
Here is a salvage project. I took a 1930s Sager Chemical double bit axe that was far too abused to continue a useful life and reforged it into a short hafted, heavy headed wood working tool. I re-forged the bevel to be asymmetrical for right handed use and drew out a beard for choking up. The combination of these factors (short haft, heavy head, asymmetry and beard) make for an excellent wood carving/shaping and carpentry axe that is also compact enough for camping. The haft is hand-hewn from hop hornbeam (locally called iron wood)… a traditional axe hafting wood that will last forever. The mask is made from local braintan deer hide. The Sager axes are themselves sought after by collectors.. but in this case I thought giving it this new life as a working axe was the best route. I preserved the original maker's mark on the head and placed mine above it.
I'm asking $250 for this axe (plus shipping).
This is a fun project I'm doing with Jai Mather a talented craftsman from Wisconsin https://www.facebook.com/Thyrthweorc We both decided that elves get all the glory when it comes to work based on Tolkien's world.. so we thought we'd go Orcish. This is Morghash .. or Black Fire in Black Speech. It is based on the Anglo-Saxon broken-back seax and is intended to be a knife of war for an upper-ranking officer in Sauron's orcish army. Jai forged the blade and I ground it and fused bronze into the blade in the form of Sauron's eye and used a Japanese method for inlaying metallic powder into the runes (which spell Morghash – black fire.. the name of this knife). The grip is heavily distressed osage orange and bears ebony, bronze and brass fittings. I blackened the blade using an acid etching method which also highlighted the hamon (heat treating pattern) on the blade. Anyway.. this was fun and Jai and I agree that there isn't enough work being done in Orcish.
This work will be available once the scabbard is complete.
This is a project I'm using to exercise my recent training in traditional Japanese metal work. It will be a kogatana blade mounted in a kozuka.. a forged metal grip that is usually highly decorated. These were small knives carried on the saya of a Japanese sword. The kozuka is made by folding and soldering sheet iron and then carving and inlay is done on the surface. My version is based on an existing piece and will bear the Namazu or 'Earthquake Fish'. The Namazu lives underneath the island of Japan and causes earthquakes when it flaps it's oar-like tale. A traditional Japanese mythological character.
Here is the start of my interpretation… The first picture shows the original museum piece.
I've taken an interest in traditionally mounted work knives in the Japanese tradition and here are some examples. One is a small Japanese 'picnic knife' made from 15n20 and Lake Superior diver-salvaged flame birch. The other is a kogatana blade that can be used for a variety of tasks…. carving, food prep, general utility, etc. It works great worn around the neck and I like it as a 'canoe knife' or small camp knife. These knives have a nice tight fit of the blade in the scabbard and are designed that if they are ever to loosen you can tap in a small ebony pin to secure.
These are both available for purchase. The kogatana mounted in rattan cane is $175 and the 'picnic knife' which comes with matching cutting board is $200.
Here is a Birka style seax or Viking knife with deeply etched/antiqued composite blade at 7.5″ length. It had bronze spacer plates and lanyard ring typical of the style. The wood is feathered Lake Superior diver-salvaged black oak .. showing worm holes. The overall length is 13.5 inches. It comes with a braintan deer hide Scandinavian style scabbard.
I'm asking $400 for this knife.
Here I am announcing a collaborative project that I will be doing with the extremely talented maker of Japanese sword fittings Marcus Chambers. You can see examples of his work here: http://www.marcuschambersmetalarts.com/ Marcus and I both share an interest in the naturalistic textures found in ancient Japanese work and we are both in love with the resources that come from the Northwoods/Lake Superior region of Michigan and Wisconsin: iron, copper, wood. So this project will be a 0-tanto… or large Japanese dagger .. made from these resources. I will create the blade, habaki and wooden mount and Marcus will do the metal fittings and decoration. It will have a Norther woodland theme running through the entire piece and will consist of engraving, carving and metal inlay. The blade has been forged from Lake Superior salvaged wrought iron that I carburized into shear steel in my woodstove and then laminated to a high density 1095 core. It will be an asymmetrical geometry with the shear steel on once side and flat 1095 on the other. This style is called Hira-Zukuri in Japanese. The shear steel will have a very organic and wood-grain feel to it and will bear shishiabori carving and overlay by Marcus.
I will update this post as the project develops.
Here is an example of Marcus's work:
Here is progress on the blade. Shown is the beveled side.. the side bearing the shear steel. And the Lake Superior diver salvaged black oak that will be the wood mounting.
I've been captivated by the idea of dueling with the sword for as long as I can remember and I love the light, fast swords that embody the practice.. especially the ones being made from the 16th to 17th Century. I've also wanted to make a sword based on Arya's sword 'Needle' from the Game of Thrones ever since I read the books. I've dabbled in complex hilts before but haven't quite gotten what I wanted. One handicap is my terrible 110v buzzbox welder. But I've recently come up with an idea that will allow to start making these things using a combination of brazing and forgewelding. The idea is to forge each individual component, hot fit to the tang, and then stack, tack weld, and then forge weld. And then use brazing for tiny contact points. So this sword is an experiment and I'm not hoping to nail any sort of historical piece.. just make a beautiful, fast sword with an elegant hilt. I'm basically combining the short, thin small-sword blade with a hilt inspired by German bastard swords.
The blade is forged from high density 1095 laminate. I really like the subtle look of that when deeply etched.. a material I used in my lastMigration ring-sword. Right now the unground, un-heat-treated blade is 29″ long and 3/4″ wide at the ricasso.
I'm trying to get this sword at least mostly complete for my main show-piece at the upcoming Art in the Park show in Duluth.. a juried art show. It will will also be available for purchase with the criteria that I can show this sword at the show and delivery folling. This event is Aug 16, 17.
This picture shows how I'm constructing these kind of hilts (this is another project I'm working on.. a rapier). Each component is forged, stacked and then forge welded in the forge. This creates a piece that is fully fused rather than by simply welding superficially. The weld beads in this picture are to hold it together while placing in the forge.
This picture shows how I hot fit each component before forge welding.
And these pictures show the mostly assembled hilt. There will be a native copper side-ring brazed on as well.
This picture shows the native glacial float copper that I used for the side-ring.
This picture gives a little glimpse of the kind of subtle pattern that the blade will have when finished.
The wood for the grip will be beautifully figured Lake Superior diver-salvaged black oak. Also in the picture is a gladius that I'm working on that will have a pattern welded serpent inlay. And the other blade is a cup hilt rapier.. with the cup guard that I forged for it.

Ovechkin leads Capitals past struggling Penguins
PITTSBURGH (AP) Alex Ovechkin blasted such a hard shot into the top corner of the net that Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau couldn't see the puck go in even after watching the replay.
What chance, Boudreau wondered, did Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury have?
"That's what he does," Boudreau said in amazement after Ovechkin's goal, combined with Michal Neuvirth's 39 saves, were the difference in Washington's 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.
It was nothing, said Ovechkin, referring to his goal which came on the power-play with 3:22 left in the second period.
"I had lots of time to see what's going on, and I just fired it," Ovechkin said. "We beat a good team in a hard building to play. We got these points, just enjoy our day off."
GAME REPORT: Capitals 1, Penguins 0
PENGUINS TRADE: Crosby gets help
That day off, following a five-game road trip in which the Capitals went 3-2, wound up getting delayed. A snow storm that struck Pittsburgh hours before the game began forced the Capitals to spend the night.
They'll return home Tuesday, knowing they continued their domination of the Penguins, completing their season series with a 3-0-1 edge, and improving to 10-0-2 against Pittsburgh since March 2008. More important, the win allowed the Capitals to inch to within a point of Southeast Division-leading Tampa Bay and three points of the fourth-place Penguins in the Eastern Conference standings.
Pittsburgh came up empty despite outshooting the Capitals 39-24, showing plenty of jump but no finish for a team that's down 10 regulars, including Sidney Crosby (FSY). Pittsburgh hasn't scored against Washington in 157:47 since Evgeni Malkin's (FSY) second-period goal in a 3-1 loss during the Winter Classic on Jan. 1.
"I thought we created a lot of chances, a lot of opportunities," said Jordan Staal (FSY), who had a short-handed breakaway chance stopped by Neuvirth 50 seconds before Ovechkin's goal. "Obviously, their goalie did a pretty good job of keeping us from the second rebounds. But I think we did a lot of good things."
The Pens dropped to 2-5-1 in their past eight, though help is on the way. Hours prior to the game, Pittsburgh traded defenseman Alex Goligoski (FSY) to Dallas in exchange for forward James Neal (FSY) and defenseman Matt Niskanen (FSY).
"It's a sign of confidence for us," Maxime Talbot (FSY) said. "Neal has been a force in this league, and we're real excited to get him on the team."
Though offensively challenged, the Penguins got a solid outing from Fleury. He stopped 23 shots, including foiling Ovechkin on a breakaway 9 minutes into an entertaining, back-and-forth game.
Neuvirth proved better. He stopped 18 shots in the first period alone. He also got a little help from his goal posts, as Brett Sterling (FSY) hit the right post early in the third period, while Deryk Engelland (FSY) also clanged one off the post with 6:55 left in the second.
As for saves, Neuvirth kicked out his right pad to block Pascal Dupuis' (FSY) backhander from the left circle with 6:12 left in the first period. Less than 3 minutes later, he punched out his blocker to turn away Ryan Craig's (FSY) shot from the left circle, set up following a turnover by the Capitals in their own zone.
"I made a few saves early in the game and I was feeling pretty good," Neuvirth said. "I was confident the whole game."
It was Neuvirth's third shutout of the season and second in a row against the Penguins after a 3-0 victory on Feb. 6.
Ovechkin's goal was his first in four games against the Penguins.
Mike Knuble (FSY) had a hand in setting it up by gaining the Penguins zone and getting a shot off that Fleury stopped. The rebound popped into the air and to Marcus Johansson (FSY), who gloved the puck down and fed a pass to Ovechkin, who wound up and blasted a shot beating Fleury over the right shoulder.
"When you see him stepping into it like that, you just want to get out of the way," Knuble said. "You don't know where that thing's going, really. It was a great shot."
The Pens-Caps rivalry has escalated this season, particularly after the Capitals' 3-1 win in the Winter Classic at Pittsburgh on Jan. 1, a game in which Washington's David Steckel collided with Crosby. It was the first of two hits to the head Crosby sustained in consecutive games, which has led to the Penguins' captain missing the past 20 games with a concussion.
Penguins agitator Matt Cooke (FSY) then targeted Ovechkin, tripping him with a knee-to-knee hit in the rematch on Feb. 6, which Washington won 3-0.
On Monday, Penguins fans did let up a cheer in the first period Pittsburgh defenseman Ben Lovejoy (FSY) shoved Ovechkin, causing the Capitals captain to fall backward, after the whistle during a scrum in front of the Penguins' net.
Cooke was targeted, as Washington's Matt Bradley (FSY) was penalized for charging for a heavy hit on the Penguins player in the Capitals zone midway through the second period.
NOTES: Penguins D Paul Martin (FSY) is day to day after being shaken up by a hit at Chicago on Sunday. To fill his spot, Pittsburgh recalled D Brian Strait (FSY) from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. ... Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau entered the game with a 10-1-3 career record against the Penguins. ... Penguins LW Chris Kunitz (FSY) resumed practicing Monday after missing six games with a lower body injury.
