For all the complaining we (I) did about the outdoor game, it was a downer going back indoors, especially at the World's Quietest Arena. What a shame. Could you imagine a first-place team in the middle of a season in the 1970s or '80s and the kind of intimidation MSG would throw at an opponent?
Granted, you can never expect the Sunrise Panthers to bring out the same kind of emotion as the Philthy Flys, and the Garden was of pretty good voice when the Flys and the Penguins last visited. So that had something to do with it. Obviously.
But ya boys just keep on truckin'. They don't care how it gets done, from ahead, from behind, in regulation, in OT — I imagine they'd do it in one of those breakaway contests they sometimes hold after hockey games end. Whatever it takes. They keep on winning. Three in a row now. Eight of nine. First in the Patrick Division. First in the Least. First overall. Maybe that's why Bill Clinton was there. Presidents' Trophy?
Just don't mention this stuff to John Tortorella. Because he's too smart to get caught up in all of that hype. He's too worried about Pittsburgh tonight. And what lies ahead for a team still getting near full strength, but a young team that has never been in this atmosphere before. So we'll see.
1) President Clinton got a nice hand, and why shouldn't he? I don't think it was necessarily that things were a lot better in this country when he was in office than they are now, and I'm not getting all political … just, it was a better economic time in the U.S. of A. But remember he won his nomination at MSG in '92 and kind of adopted it as a special place. And then he had the honor of hosting the 1994 Stanley Cup champions at the White House, which was pretty cool.
2) John Tortorella might have to deal with NBC again, LOL. If the Rangers are still first in the East on Monday, he'll be one of the co-coaches of one of the all-star teams in Ottawa. The coaches from the defending champs (Boston) get one team, and the coaches of the top teams in each conference on Monday are co-coaches of the other.
3) Ruslan Fedotenko was sure strong all night long, and it was interesting to hear Tortorella say that he didn't like the way Fedotenko played previously on that fourth line, where John Mitchell has taken over at center; and that Fedotenko sure better play that way because Wojtek Wolski's waiting to take his spot.
4) That boarding penalty against Fedotenko, though? Really? That's boarding? Pansification returns.
5) The two goals Martin Biron gave up weren't so great, but you have to give him the benefit on the first, a clean 2-on-1 pass that got by Marc Staal for an open wrister under the crossbar. The second one, he admitted he was cheating for the pass. Otherwise he was pretty solid again.
6) That said, he's now started four of the last nine games. I don't think the plan has changed — which means Henrik Lundqvist getting somewhere around 62, and Biron the other 20 or so. After Lundqvist plays tonight, we'll be two games from the halfway point of the season, and Biron will have 10 starts, or right on pace. I wonder, though, if Biron will continue to start more frequently so that Lundqvist is ready to play almost all the games in the homestretch … that's what I would do.
7) After Mike Rupp whiffed on that open net, I thought, maybe he can't score indoors. Seriously, he got a lot done.
8) The polite applause for Marc Staal's first shift at the Garden this season was underwhelming. I mean, it's not like he's as important as a guy like Sean Avery, who got a much bigger ovation when he made his Garden debut. Makes no sense whatsoever … other than a lot more tickets now go to non-diehards who can afford them. And that you can't understand the Avery-worshippers unless you are one.
9) Staal did look out of sorts a bit, and he will for a while, and he's going to have to earn his minutes. But he's sure happy to be back on the ice.
10) Is everybody in the East playing to be the runnerup to Boston? Will the Bruins go undefeated the rest of the way? Holy shishkebob.
11) IMO, Artem Anisimov really needs to start putting more pucks on goal, because he sure seems to have it on his stick in position to fire an awful lot, and doesn't pull the trigger (pun intended). I know he's played well in other areas, and all of that. But in the end, 14-16 goals from the first-line left wing isn't going to cut it.
12) The first power play chance was awful. More standing around. It's been happening all season, whenever the PP struggled. The guys without the puck are standing still. And I thought it got a bit better as it went on last night, though at times the puck stayed up high and forwards drifted toward the points, and so the puck never got to the front. But it did get better, even if marginally.
13) OK, maybe Marian Gaborik wasn't great start to finish, and his line sure wasn't fabulous. But the GAS line got it done when it matters, and Gaborik was dangerous all night. He's got 23 now. One more than last season.
14) Much, much better game by Brad Richards, and his linemates were very strong again. We may have not imagined Richards would not play with Gaborik, and we sure didn't imagine Brandon Dubinsky not playing with Ryan Callahan. The latter two are back together, with Richards in the middle, and it's working.
My Three Rangers Stars:
1) Marian Gaborik.
2) Dan Girardi.
3) Ryan Callahan.

Recycled Craft Ideas For Earth Day
April 22 is Earth Day! Crafting with the kids is a great way to teach them how to recycle and reuse while learning about how important the environment is.
April 22 is Earth Day! Crafting with the kids is a great way to teach them how to recycle and reuse while learning about how important the environment is.
There are a number of crafts you can make with your family by recycling old items you probably already have lying around in your home, such as old toilet paper rolls, magazines and plastic bottles. Check out all of the fun recycled craft ideas we found on the Web this week.
DIY party favors can be made easily with the inner of a toilet paper roll and some old newspaper or magazines. Tie with a fun ribbon and it's a great way to use the cardboard rolls you usually throw out!
Making paper flowers is easy! According to Family Fun, all you need are some old magazines, scissors and a glue stick! How cute would these be to place in a potted plant for a touch of DIY?
This bottle cap calendar from Reading Confetti is a great way to recycle old bottle caps. We love how she personalized her calendar with mini pictures for special dates like birthdays or holidays!
Instead of throwing away those old jars, have the kids capture their treasures in them like Quiry Momma did. It's a great way to let them explore nature while saving special items they find along the way.
Mom It Forward featured this pretty metallic heart made out of old crayons. Anna suggests gifting them as a unique Earth Day present. This would be a great paper weight too for your child's teacher.
This denim bead necklace by Crafts by Amanda looks SO cool! Instead of tossing your old pair of jeans, cut the denim into strips and paint with funky colors to create beads.
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

PHILADELPHIA -For the first time since 1922, the University of Pennsylvania track and field teams can boast three individual Penn Relays titles. In the two wins on Saturday, sophomore Thomas Awad became just the second Quaker to break four minutes in the mile, while senior Maalik Reynolds became the first Penn man in 107 years to win multiple high jump titles at the Penn Relays. In the first event of the world's largest and oldest relay carnival, freshman Noel Jancewicz won the heptathlon.
Penn's historic performances came in front of 49,103 fans at legendary Franklin Field on Saturday for a three-day total attendance of 108,660. That marked the 11th straight year and the 14th time in the last 15 years with more than 100,000 spectators at the world's oldest and largest relay carnival.
Awad is the first Quaker to post a sub four-minute mile in 40 years. The only other man in program history to accomplish that feat was Denis Fikes, who set the school record in 1974 at 3:54.45. Awad is also the first individual at Penn to win on the track at the Penn Relays since 1987. He beat out a very competitive field with an impressive final kick and stopped the clock at 3:58.34.
Reynolds, who also won the event as a freshman in 2011, is just the second Penn man to win multiple high jump titles at the Penn Relays and the first to do so in 107 years (Tom Moffitt in 1905 and 1907). Three jumpers cleared 2.19 meters (7 feet, 2 1/4 inches), but Reynolds owned the tiebreaker with a clean sheet at the previous height of 2.16 meters. In all, the Atlanta, Ga., native had just one miss en route to a new outdoor season best.
During the multi events on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jancewicz won the heptathlon with the third-best score in school history. With 5,035 points, she became just the third woman in school history to win the Penn Relays title in the event.
Not to be overshadowed on Saturday, sophomore Sam Mattis and the men's 4x800-meter relay each posted impressive runner-up performances. Mattis fouled on the first two throws but rebounded for his best throw on his third attempt. The school record holder's toss landed at 60.86 (199-08 ft.) --just shy of his second straight meet over 200 feet. Meanwhile, the relay team of Kirk Webb (1:55.38), Drew Magaha (1:50.76), Chris Hatler (1:53.33) and Mato Bekelja (1:50.70) combined to finish behind only Indiana with a second-place time of 7:30.14.
In the men's javelin, senior Jimmy Tully launched a career-best throw of 63.99 meters (209-11 ft.). It marked his first toss over 63 meters - which he did four times at the meet - and placed him eighth overall among 25 competitors.
On the second day of competition, freshman Lisa Sesink-Clee joinedthe school record book in the women's javelin. Her best toss measured 43.29 meters (142-00 ft.) and ranks eighth all-time in Penn history. Also with that effort, four of the school's all-time top 10 in the event are current Quakers.
In front of 21,422 fans on the first day of competition, four Quakers and a relay reached the school's all-time top five. The women's distance medley relay posted the fifth-best time in school history, and a plethora of highlights came in Thursday night's distance classic. Both freshman Cleo Whiting and sophomore Elyssa Gensib joined Penn's top five in the women's 3,000 meters, while senior Kersie Jhabvala is now second all-time in program history in the women's 10,000 meters and freshman Brendan Shearn ranks third in school history with the fastest men's 10,000 meters at Penn since 1981.
After hosting the Penn Relays for the 120th consecutive year, Penn has officially completed the 2014 outdoor regular season. The Quakers will now head to New Haven, Conn., for the Heptagonal Outdoor Championships, May 10-11.

Following a decade in which Chinese largesse has helped to transform Africa's prospects – and challenged the supremacy that western companies once enjoyed over the continent's natural resources – Beijing has sent word to Washington that the world's two biggest economies might combine their efforts to generate some much-needed electricity in one of the poorest.
The Democratic Republic of Congo, an expanse the size of western Europe that perennially ranks among the worst countries in which to do business, has known little but conflict and penury for decades. World Bank-backed plans to build a third dam at Inga are part of a broader vision for a dam complex capable of generating 40,000MW – twice the size of the Three Gorges dam in China. Read more

There was something faintly depressing – as well as predictable – at the comments from David Cameron's spokesman this morning ruling out any review of Britain's drugs policy. And at Ed Miliband taking a similar stance.
The issue has reared its head once again after former cabinet minister Bob Ainsworth called for legalisation. But is such a controversial subject that party leaders fear they cannot even raise the possibility without being mauled by critics. Read more

At Adobe, we always talk about empowering employee participation in social given the power of the collective voice for a brand. Until this point, there hasn't been a collection of "how to's" pulled together about tapping into this important resource. Cheryl Burgess and Mark Burgess of Blue Focus Marketing attempt to do just that in a new book, The Social Employee: How Great Companies Make Social Media Work, where they've interviewed brands – Adobe included – on their social enablement programs and best practices.
In our contribution to the book, we shared how we got organized and set up our Center of Excellence. Adobe's approach to overseeing the entire company's social media program is about providing guardrails vs. hard-fast rules when it comes to engagement –nuanced, yes, but in line with our company's values. We also discuss how our social strategists strive to innovate constantly and how measuring social ROI though rigorous metrics – a hot topic these days – is imperative.
Re-reading the chapter and looking back at what we've done as a brand, it's great to see the progress we've made as a socially innovative company. We now have more than 2000 employees actively engaging on behalf of the brand; we're delivering great campaigns and delivering bottom line results. Our path to organizing and resourcing sure wasn't easy, but Adobe's culture and executive support of our social programs made the road a whole lot easier – something that isn't status quo across many organizations. I think our story, along with ones from AT&T, Dell, Cisco, Southwest Airlines and others, will be helpful to both new and seasoned social practitioners.
For an animated look at what's in the book, check out this trailer:
The Social Employee is available now on iBooks and will be on bookshelves on August 23.

DETROIT - The Ferris State Bulldogs are ranked No. 1 in the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine polls.
That puts them ahead of some lofty competition including Boston University, Boston College, Michigan and Michigan State -- teams that are commonly among the NCAA's best in men's Division I hockey.
The Bulldogs (20-8-4) are beating everyone. Back-to-back wins this past weekend over Notre Dame put Ferris State farther ahead of Western Michigan and Michigan for the top spot in the CCHA. Western is two points behind.
Notre Dame was held to just one goal in those two games. Ferris posted it's fourth team shutout of the season.
With a parody-riddled season in the works, the CCHA is full of teams vying for that illusive top spot. But Ferris is showing it can be achieved with stingy defense and an opportunistic offense.
Up next for the Bulldogs is a reeling Bowling Green squad (9-18-5) which sits at the bottom of the CCHA. They travel to Big Rapids for a Friday night game in a place where Ferris has lost just one game in regulation this season -- the best home record in the NCAA (12-1-2).
Boston College, Boston University, Minnesota-Duluth and Michigan all round out the top five in the polls.
Michigan (18-10-4) is right behind Ferris in the overall standings. Michigan State (16-12-4) is not far behind. Western (15-12-5) has faired better in conference play (12-9-3-3) than overall.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/11/2012 (1726 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Grab a mug of hot cocoa and a box of tissues, kids, because the Weather Column has some good news and some bad news for you.
Seeing as how we are a generally upbeat column, let's start with the good news: We have just stuck our head out the window and we are thrilled to report it is gloriously sunny, incredibly warm, a sultry wind is blowing through the desert grasses and, somewhere in the distance, we can hear the exotic strains of a mariachi band.
Is that wonderful, or what? OK, the bad news -- well, bad for you guys at least -- is the fact that we are currently experiencing this unseasonably warm weather in Las Cruces, N.M., where we are hanging out with old friends.
But take heart, Winnipeg, because we have just eyeballed the Environment Canada website and it seems, other than the sunny skies and warm temperatures and Happy Hour margaritas, your forecast is almost identical to the weather in New Mexico.
Not that I wish to rub salt in your weather wounds or anything, but while I am wearing flip-flops and giving my putter a workout on a local golf course, you guys back home will be looking at a steady stream of greyish clouds.
Today and Sunday will see clouds followed by more clouds, with a daily high of 0 C each day, which is good because the normal high at the beginning of December is a bracing -6 C.
Fortunately, things will change slightly on Monday when, along with clouds and a high of 0 C, you can look forward to a little rain and, fingers crossed, another taste of snow. Look, I don't enjoy giving you glum weather news like this, but it's better coming from me than a stranger, right? Hello!
If you can hang on until Tuesday, you should get a slight break from the grim overcast skies, along with a whopping big dip in the temperature as the mercury slides down to (sit down before reading on) -11 C.
I personally will not be feeling too festive in New Mexico's sweltering climate, so maybe you guys could spend the weekend getting into the holiday spirit on my behalf. Thanks.
For starters, I think you should head down to Manitoba Hydro Gallery, 360 Portage Ave., today and Sunday to take in the annual Festival of Trees and Lights from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. There are enough trees and wreaths and gingerbread houses to make you feel warm and fuzzy all over. Admission is free and donations are gratefully accepted.
After that, pop the kids in the car and dash through the snow to Canad Inns Winter Wonderland at Red River Exhibition Park, where you can drive through 29 themed areas featuring more than a million sparkly lights along a 2.5-kilometre route of holiday joy. Tickets are $15 at the gate and $10 in advance at any Canad Inns location.
On Sunday, you can hear some joyful noises at Pantages Playhouse Theatre by checking out the Winnipeg Youth Orchestra's annual holiday concert. Tickets are $5 at the door. Or, if you want to be a real Grinch, grab a flight and join me in New Mexico. We can sip margaritas and you can help me get in the spirit of the season by pulling a few of these (bad word) cactus thorns out of my backside. Ho Ho ... ouch!

As people in major towns of the UK sweep their lives back into order, it has been suggested that the national riots were triggered after a 29-year-old man, Mark Duggan, was shot in London by police officers. But the absence of plain English in a major public crisis has again made matters worse with details of the shooting being poorly communicated by the police force, and the difficulties experienced by police officers in deciphering the street language of young rioters.
Earlier this year, the 7/7 evidence hearings were heavily criticised by the attending judge, Lady Justice Hallet, for being seriously short of 'plain English'.
Banks' crippling charges and switching stand-off

The Treasury Select Committee are pushing the Independent Commission on Banking (ICB) to press the Government into taking action to make bank charges clearer and switching between bank accounts easier. In the meantime, this triangle of pressure is causing account holders unnecessary costs and loss of choice, while the Financial Services Authority and the Treasury Select Committee argue about taking action.
This betrayal of customers' rights cuts deeper when, to a great extent, the issue of clearer information to promote fairer competition was addressed in Northern Ireland as early as 2007.

HOUSTON - Former hand surgeon Michael Brown wants a judge to let him out of jail after, he claimed, the food made him ill
Brown was recently arrested on charges of violating his child support. He bonded out, but on March 7 he was found to be in contempt of court for violating terms of a divorce agreement and was sentenced to 180 days in jail.
Court officials said Brown was taken to Ben Taub Hospital last week and was tested for E. Coli. He was taken back to jail and on Monday was ordered to stay there until at least April 4.
"He didn't like jail," said Marshall Davis Brown Jr., who represents Brown's fourth ex-wife, Rachel. "That two weeks was enough for him to reflect and decide he's been a bad boy and he's going to be good."
In addition to the child support violations, Rachel Brown's attorneys said Michael Brown has not paid for their services.
"There was an order that he was to deposit, dollar for dollar, equal amount for all the lawyers," said Marshall Davis Brown Jr. "At one point in time, he had 11 lawyers in there that he was paying. There were no matching funds paid."
Michael Brown has also been accused of not paying for Rachel Brown's security service.
"He's not done one thing to comply with the orders," Marshall Davis Brown Jr. said.
A second motion for contempt has been filed against Michael Brown. A hearing on that motion is set to be heard on April 4.
Brown has had a slew of legal problems in recent years. Earlier this year, authorities said Brown was arrested after an incident on an overseas flight.
Last year, a New York woman sued Brown, accusing the former physician of giving her herpes.
In 2011, Brown was acquitted of beating his ex-wife.
In 2006, Brown lost his medical license after testing positive for cocaine.
Brown is the founder and owner of Brown Hand Center, among other businesses.

Now is the time to act on guns, US lawmakers urgedHeidi Przybyla, Washington
Published: February 1 2013 - 3:00AM
FORMER US congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords said ''the time is now'' for Congress to take action on guns as shooting victims, lawmakers and gun rights advocates came face to face for the first time since the December 14 massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
''Speaking is difficult, but I need to say something important,'' Ms Giffords said in a strong though halting voice at the start of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington on Wednesday. ''Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something,'' she said.
''It will be hard but the time is now,'' she said. ''You must act. Be bold, be courageous; Americans are counting on you.''
Ms Giffords, 42, an Arizona Democrat, was shot in the head from point-blank range at a constituent event in Tucson on January 8, 2011, by Jared Lee Loughner.
Congress is debating ways to curb gun violence after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown that killed 20 children and six school employees.
The hearings took place as a 15-year-old girl who lived less than two kilometres from US President Barack Obama's Chicago home and attended his inauguration last week was shot dead, and a gunman in Alabama boarded a school bus, shooting the driver and kidnapping a six-year-old boy.
Chicago schoolgirl Hadiya Pendleton was shot in the back and a 16-year-old boy was wounded by a gunman who sped away in a car, police said.
In Alabama, the standoff began on Tuesday afternoon, after the gunman, identified by neighbours as Jimmy Lee Dykes, boarded a school bus in the small town of Midland City. Sheriff Wally Olsen said the man shot the bus driver, identified as Charles Albert Poland, when he refused to hand over the six-year-old.
Mr Obama backs a ban on sales of assault weapons, a proposal that faces opposition in Congress even as a majority of the public supports it.
The Senate hearing centred on the efficacy of background checks more than initiatives to limit assault weapons or their high-capacity feeding devices. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the Judiciary Committee chairman, led Democrats in asking gun advocates to explain why they oppose a stronger background-check system to keep assault weapons out of the hands of criminals.
Wayne LaPierre, chief executive officer of the National Rifle Association, and Republicans including Senator John Cornyn of Texas countered by saying current laws aren't being properly enforced.
''We've got to get in the real world on what works and what doesn't work,'' Mr LaPierre said.
Another witness at the hearing was Mark Kelly, an astronaut and the husband of Ms Giffords.
He urged strengthening the background-check system, saying 80 per cent of criminals reported obtaining their weapons through private sales with no such checks.
Despite the public's demand for stronger gun control after the Connecticut school massacre, many politicians remain wary of alienating voters by supporting a crackdown on guns. Governor Andrew Cuomo's approval rating fell sharply among New York voters since he pushed restrictive gun laws through the legislature, a poll released on Wednesday said.
Fifty-nine per cent said they approved of Mr Cuomo's job performance, down 15 percentage points from his 74 per cent approval rating last month, the Quinnipiac University poll found.

Box Score
PHILADELPHIA - An incredible effort erased an 18-point deficit against the Ivy League's top team, but the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team fell short against Princeton on Senior Day at The Palestra, 60-44.
Tuesday's matinee matchup marked the season finale for each of these two rivals. Penn finished the regular season at 16-12 overall and 9-5 in Ivy play to finish alone in third in the Ivy standings. It's Penn's best record and Ivy finish since the 2003-04 championship season. Princeton finished 22-6 overall and 13-1 against the Ancient Eight.
Princeton jumped out to a 22-4 lead over the first 13 minutes. Penn was just 1-of-15 (6.7%) from the floor at that point. But the Quakers battled back. Over the next 20 minutes, the Red and Blue outscored the NCAA Tournament-bound Tigers 32-13 to take the lead with under nine minutes to play.
That stretch started innocently enough. Junior captain Alyssa Baron, who finished with her fourth career double-double, made a jumper to get within 15, 24-9, at the 5:55 mark. A few minutes later, she made another jumper in the paint to make it a 12-point game, 28-16. Then as the half wound down, senior captain Brianna Bradford - playing in her final regular season game at The Palestra - dished to Baron on a fastbreak to cut Princeton's advantage to 30-20 at intermission.
Penn's defense was the driving force toward eliminating the rest of the deficit. Princeton entered the game with the league's highest scoring offense, but the Quakers didn't allow a single point over the first 5:30 of the second half.
Meanwhile, the Red and Blue scored 10 straight to tie the game. Sophomore Katy Allen hit a three and freshman Keiera Ray added a layup and then a three. When Baron sunk a pair of free throws with 14:48 to play, it was all tied up 30-30.
Princeton scored the next three, but Baron responded with a jumper and after a defensive stop, sophomore Kara Bonenberger pulled down an offensive rebound and dropped in the putback for Penn's first lead of the day, 34-33, with 10:26 to go.
After a Tigers bucket, Ray drove the lane and put the Quakers up 36-35 with 9:12 remaining. However, Penn went scoreless over the next four minutes and the Ivy champions capitalized. Princeton scored 12 straight to go up 11. Over the next several minutes, the Tigers pushed that lead to 56-40 with just 3:08 left.
That 16-point deficit would be the final margin. Baron finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Ray came off the bench to contribute 10 points and five rebounds. Junior Courtney Wilson tied a career high with four blocks and added five points and four rebounds.
Princeton was held to just 37 percent shooting (22-of-59), but Penn was just 17-of-59 (28.8%). The Quakers made just three of their 22 three-point attempts (13.6%). Princeton held a slight edge in the rebounding batttle, 44-42.
The regular season finale also served as Senior Day for captains Brianna Bradford and Katie Davis, who each started for the first time in their careers. The duo were a part of the largest single-season turnaround in school history as sophomores and the program's best-ever 10-game start as juniors. This year, Katie and Bri helped lead Penn to its fourth-highest win total in school history and the program's fourth-highest Ivy win total of all-time. They are the first class in program history to improve their win total every season.
Now the Quakers wait to find out if they are postseason bound for the first time since 2003-04 and the third time in program history. Penn is on the bubble for two postseason tournaments. The Women's Basketball Invitational (WBI) and the Women's NIT. The brackets will be announced late Monday night, March 18, following the NCAA Tournament selections.

Renowned teetotaller Wayne Bennett queried his own sobriety after hearing that Roosters legend Brad Fittler was planning a comeback in the inaugural Auckland Nines tournament.
''I woke up and I thought I had a New Year's hangover for a start,'' Bennett said with a wry smile on Friday. ''I thought maybe I'm just a bit seedy today.''
The master coach said he pondered the issue a ''little bit more'' and realised Fittler, who will turn 42 before the Nines kicks off on February 15, would not be out of place in a Newcastle squad that already includes nine over-30s, even after the retirements of 35-year-olds Danny Buderus and Craig Gower.
''He'd nearly fit into our recruitment plans, because we like those older players,'' Bennett quipped. ''He's probably a bit young for us yet. But another year or two on him and I think we could probably bring him here to the Knights if he doesn't make it in the Nines.''
Bennett felt perhaps Fittler was suffering withdrawal symptoms after the annual All Stars exhibition game was called off to accommodate the Nines. Bennett has coached the NRL All Stars for the past three seasons and Fittler has been his assistant. ''With that game not being on, he's probably just dreaming up what he can do next and Nines was probably just one of those mad moments you have in your life and he thinks: 'I can play in that game','' Bennett said.
When Bennett was reminded that he had orchestrated one of rugby league's most celebrated comebacks by luring Allan Langer back to help Queensland win the 2001 Origin decider, he pointed out Langer had not hung up the boots at that point and was still playing in England. ''Freddy has been retired for a long time,'' Bennett said. ''Maybe Freddy had a bad moment over Christmas and watched some old videos of himself playing and thought he could still do that.''
Fittler's last game was the 2004 grand final, a game in which Willie Mason collected the Clive Churchill Medal after Canterbury's 16-13 triumph. Given that Mason has been used to promote the Nines and appears a certain selection in Newcastle's squad, Fittler could face the daunting prospect of renewing acquaintances with his towering former NSW and Test teammate. ''It wouldn't matter who you run at him, he'll struggle with it,'' Bennett said.
On a serious note, Bennett said the Nines format would be an experiment for all teams and coaches involved. ''It's a bit of an unknown for us,'' he said. ''We haven't played it for a long time. I think '97 was the last time it was played … they went to Fiji, from memory, and we haven't played it since then. Most of us all will be struggling with how to play it and we'll all be a bit wiser after the event.''
Newcastle appear unlikely to risk their only Australian World Cup representative, Darius Boyd, who is not due to start pre-season training for another 10 days. ''Our first priority will just be where guys are at training,'' Bennett said. ''Darius will only be back at training for two or three weeks, so there's an example there. We may not play him. Then there's guys recovering from injuries, so we won't be risking them. We'll put a good team together. We'll pick the best team we can.''
Bennett predicted the Nines would be no place for ''your big, slow forwards'' and some outside backs would have to switch to the engine room.

Shopping in South Africa is a very popular pasttime for South Africans. International visitors are often attracted to goods that are proudly South African and the attractive exchange rate against other major currencies means these can be picked up for a song.
With gold and diamonds being among our most-famed resources, buying jewellery and gemstones in South Africa is often high on the international visitor's shopping list. Shoppers are often attracted to blue-coloured Tanzanite, a rare stone from Tanzania which is expertly crafted into dazzling pieces.
South African wines are another sought-after purchase, and most wine estates and dealers will make arrangements to ship your selection abroad.
Colourful curios and carvings, representing a myriad of South African and African cultures, are also popular purchases and include wooden and soft stone carvings, beading, weaving, pottery and basketware. Articles imaginatively made of ostrich eggshell, wire and recycled goods are sought after.
With the price of antiques sky rocketing the world over, it may be worth your while to check out the local stock. Antiques can be found in the big cities as well as the smaller country towns.
Where to shop in South Africa? One can spend hours in the country's shopping malls (usually open 7 days a week), trawl South Africa's excellent art galleries for that perfect piece, indulge in good-natured haggling in one of the many flea markets found in most South African cities, or find a bargain at a roadside vendor.
Bear in mind when shopping in South Africa foreign tourists can get a VAT refund on purchases. A tax invoice must be requested from the vendor for the items purchased. The invoice must bear the seller's name and address, their VAT registration number, a description of the purchased goods, the cost of the goods in South African Rands, and the amount of VAT charged. VAT is levied at a rate of 14%. For purchases of more than R3000, the buyer's name and address must appear on the tax invoice.

Coconut GroveSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
This is a true story:
An American nightclub called the Coconut Grove had a terrible fire in which over 400 people died. Everyone was conscious and would have had the ability to get out of the building under normal circumstances, but they couldn't.
HintIt has to do with a design flaw in the building. This flaw led to the death toll being so high. Subsequently, regulations were changed to ensure that all public buildings throughout the country eliminated this one detail which proved so deadly.
AnswerThe doors at the Coconut Grove opened inward. In the mad dash to escape the fire, people were crushed against the doors and couldn't pull them open. After the Coconut Grove disaster in 1942, all public buildings had to have doors which opened outward.

BWW Reviews: FOR THAT WHICH RETURNS Quite Literally Up in the Air
From the very first moment of this production—an audible exhale in a pitch-black theater—you know it's going to be different. Then comes a scattering sound, a bit like rain, that's harder to pinpoint, but it comes and goes in waves. As the lights come up, the source of the sound becomes clear: Three women—Andrea Burkholder and Sharon Witting of Washington, D.C.-based Arachne Aerial Arts and Mara Neimanis of Baltimore's In-Flight Theater—are scattering seeds pulled from burlap bags slung round their shoulders.
Soon, they speak of their dreams, all the while wrapping themselves sinuously around the base of a giant, kinetic metal sculpture, a steel weather vane that shimmers with a hint of red. Produced by sculptor Tim Scofield, it is at once beautiful and impressively strong, much like the women who use it as both prop and platform. What's most impressive is their ability to make their way entirely around the structure without ever touching the ground.
Through a series of vignettes, For That Which Returns (performed at Baltimore Theatre Project) explores the constantly shifting relationship of mother and daughter, unraveling how their reliance on and need for each other never wane despite their roles often flip-flopping as they age. The most poignant of these vignettes—a story to which the production returns several times—involves Demeter, Greek goddess of the harvest, and her daughter Persephone, whom Hades carries off to the Underworld (or perhaps she goes of her own free will, says Neimanis, who narrates the story as Burkholder and Witting portray the goddesses). Persephone's annual six-month return above ground marks the months of life—spring and summer—while her half-year in the Underworld provides an opportunity for fall and winter to take hold.
Throughout these short acts, the performers—and I call them performers and not actresses quite intentionally—twist and swing, gracefully launching themselves from one level of the metal apparatus to another, in a combination of modern dance and acrobatics. Their movements are so lithe and beautiful that the weather vane seems simply to become an extension of their bodies, which they also use as support, often wrapping themselves around or springboarding off each other's limbs or backs. The joy is in seeing what must take great effort seem not to require any effort at all. At a certain point, all three are twisted around a suspended bar (the arrow part of the weather vane), swinging many, many feet in the air.
Because of the focus on the aesthetic, however, the cohesiveness of the story suffers a bit. The short scenes, which include audio-recorded conversations between mothers and their young daughters, are distractingly choppy—as is the choice of soundtrack, heavily invested in rhythmic, a cappella music. I would have been much more involved in what was occurring on stage had there been a narrative arc of some sort, perhaps an expansion of the story of Demeter and Persephone, something to carry us through from start to finish. Because of this, the hour of performance was plenty, and I was grateful it didn't run any longer.
That being said, if you are interested in a truly beautiful production or are an enthusiast of modern dance (with a twist), you will undoubtedly enjoy this performance. The trio has put so much thought into symmetry and balance—"spring, summer, mother, daughter," one recites early on, and this concept underlies the cyclical harmony of the piece—that it is impossible not to appreciate the physical grace and refinement that unfurls itself on stage.
For That Which Returns runs Thursday-Sunday through Nov. 11 at Baltimore Theatre Project, 45 W. Preston St. in Baltimore. In-Flight Theater returns to Theatre Project with Naomi's Flight, beginning Feb. 21. For more information, visit www.in-flighttheater.com.

I was in need of a new passenger side mirror on my 2004 Honda Element, seems my son didn't see the large pole he was parking next too. I checked with the local Honda dealer and was flabbergasted by the cost of the part and installation - nearly $400!! Additionally, the dealer didn't have the part in stock and it would be 1-2 weeks until they got one. The mirror didn't look all that difficult to remove and install, so I did some web surfing to find the part elsewhere. Go-Parts.com came up in my first search. The website was really easy to maneuver through and in a very short time I had found the mirror I needed at a very reasonable cost!! I ordered the part and within 2 days it was delivered to my home. The installation instructions were very easy follow and within 10 minutes I had removed my old mirror and replaced it with my new mirror!! Go-Parts.com had even suggested I record the installation and submit to them, but I didn't have anyone to hold the camera while I worked. I have recommended this site to many of my friends who need parts for their cars.

neilestrick, I tested out one of the chimney pipes and after about 1 hour, it cracked and I replaced it with ceramic fiber tube.
I also did not use my home made "flue thingy". Instead, I used 2 thin fire bricks as a support for the bottom shelf and made a half pipe out 25 mm fiber to direct the exhaust out to the brick chimney.
Anyways, the results for our first firing where awesome. Porcelain looks so much better if fired in gas kiln.
We started out really slowly with a smallest flame possible for about 1 h. Then started to increase the flame slowly.
After about 9 hours and maybe 9-10 kg of gas the prssure got too low and we decided to stop.
We had additional 11 kg as backup but we decided not to use it. It was probably a mistake because we did not reach cone 7.
IMG_2661-01-sml.jpg 148.23KB 1 downloads
Few changes I have to make.
1) Because the fire bricks, inside the kiln, sank to the floor, the flue opening shrank too. I need to use 2 more thin fire bricks as a "floor" for the flue inside the kiln.
2) Lift the kiln higher off the ground so I we have more room to play with the burner distance.
3) Probably spend some more money and buy lower temperature
50 mm 6.5 mm (and put 3 layers) blanket to make the walls thicker. All I need to do is open up the wire cage and wrap it around the existing kiln body. Front part of the kiln has a overlap so it is not a problem.
4) Borrow a kiln pyrometer. Sight and smell will not do it yet

Difference between revisions of "Burford"
Latest revision as of 10:31, 6 December 2012
Burford is a city in Cotswolds.
Get in[edit]
Public Transport
A number of different buses run between Burford and other local towns.
By Car
By car you can reach Burford easily Via the A40 from Oxford or Cheltenham directions. Otherwise you can come in from the direction of Stow-on-the-Wold on the A424 which is a beautiful drive.
There is a free car-park at the bottom end of town, and car-parking on the streets- but be careful- parking in some areas is limited to 2 hours, though this is clearly marked. Most of the hotels also have their own car-parking.
Get around[edit]
The town is small enough to walk everywhere. The lovely high street has many shops, pubs and tea rooms to spend a pleasant afternoon browsing.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Walk. There is a lovely walk from Burford to Little and Great Barrington. [5]
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Drink[edit][add listing]
There are a number of good pubs in Burford with pints costing around £2.50 to £3 each.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Get out[edit]
There are a few taxi services - ask for the numbers at a pub. Bus no. 853 runs to Oxford and surrounding towns. Check the schedule as this does not run frequently - especially on Sunday.
Roads are flat and good for cycling.

Agent Tom Knust confirmed Friday that jockey Patrick Valenzuela, 49, is retiring, ending a career that spans some 33 years.
Valenzuela, 49, rode for the final time Nov. 13 at Hollywood Park, finishing fourth aboard Quality
Council in the eighth race, an optional claimer at six furlongs on turf. He won
with two of eight mounts during the current Autumn meet.
A winner of 4,333 races in a career interrupted on several
occasions by substance abuse issues and suspensions, Valenzuela told the Daily
Racing Form's Steve Andersen recent emergency surgery to remove his gall
bladder, a battle with weight and knee problems were the main reasons for his
"This operation has opened my eyes to the abuse my body has
taken over the years,'' Valenzuela told Andersen. "I'm not young anymore. I
think my health is more important than getting out there and making the weight
every day.
"I have to reduce every day. It's a constant battle. I would
ride at 120 (pounds), but the struggle to do that has taken its toll.''
Valenzuela, who rode his first winner Nov. 10, 1978 at Sunland Park
in New Mexico, won 15 riding titles in
Southern California, including five at Hollywood Park.
He topped the Spring/Summer standings in 1990, 2002 and 2003 and was the
leading jockey at the Autumn meet in both 1991 and 2003.
He won the first two legs of the Triple Crown (Kentucky
Derby and Preakness) with Sunday Silence in 1989 and was a winner of seven
Breeders' Cup races, including the 1987 Sprint at Hollywood Park with the filly
Very Subtle. His most recent Breeders' Cup success was a front-running upset
aboard Adoration in the 2003 Distaff during the Oak Tree meet at Santa Anita.
A father of four daughters, Valenzuela ranks sixth all-time
at Hollywood Park with 1,416 wins, 100 of which have come in stakes. The last
win of his career came aboard 14-1 shot Miss Mittagong in the sixth race Nov.
12 at Hollywood Park.
Valenzuela, who won 113 races in 2011, has total purse
earnings of nearly $163,893,554, leaving him 19th – according to
Equibase - on the all-time list.

CAT5, CAT6 and CAT7 twisted pair HDMI extenders
Part No:
The Lightware DVI-HDCP-TP and HDMI-TP 100R series deep color extenders can transmit HDMI or DVI-D signals over two CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 cables. They fully support HDMI 1.3a signals with or without HDCP encryption. The DVI-HDCP-TP series extenders feature screw-locking DVI connectors to ensure reliable operation in professional environments, instead of the easily unpluggable HDMI connectors while keeping the benefits of the HDMI 1.3a interface with audio.
Cross compatibility between all the devices in the product series is ensured thanks to Lightware's attentive design. Any transmitter can be paired with any receiver without restriction. With Lightware's hybrid modular matrix concept, it is even possible to connect an extender directly to the matrix router using an MX-HDMI-TP series input or output board (MX-HDMI-TP-IB or MX-HDMI-TP-OB).
Power source can be set by jumper for local supply with plug-in adapter, or for remote supply through TP CATx cable. All devices can be mounted on rack shelf, or used standalone. Supporting HDMI1.3 standard, these products can be seamlessly connected to Blu-Ray players, set top boxes, AV receivers or even Apple TV.
Advanced EDID Management – the well-known Lightware technology – is built in the 100 series transmitters. Using the Factory, Custom or Transparent EDID emulation the user can fix and lock EDID data on the transmitter's input connector. Advanced EDID Management eliminates noise and bit errors on DDC lines and fixes the resolution, video- and audio parameters emulated to the source.
TMDS reclocking: unique to Lightware 100 series twisted pair receivers we provide this professional feature. The circuitry cleans the signal from noise and jitter ensuring a stable recovered digital signal at outputs with sharp transitions and accurate timing.
Equalization on receiver's RJ45 input connectors is available for automatic adaptive or fine tunable manual operation. In manual mode the 25 turn trimpot allows the most accurate setting between 0 and 40dB values which helps tweaking the given cable loss even on highest 1080p resolution.

Armenia selects If Only Everyone as foreign language Oscar entry
Natalya Belyauskene's drama [pictured] will fly the flag for the Eurasian country and its North American premiere screening will close the Arpa International Film Festival in Los Angeles on Dec 1.
The film takes place 20 years after Armenian independence and centres on a young Russian woman's efforts to plant a tree on her father's grave only to discover the burial site lies on the other side of the border in Armenia.
The North American premiere of Gor Kirakosian's comedy Lost And Found In Armenia is set to open the festival on Nov 29.
The festival will present more than 40 films that will include feature narratives, short films, documentaries, music videos and animated films from more than 25 countries.
"Our committee of board members and devoted volunteers are working hard to stage yet another dazzling festival," Arpa Foundation For Film Music And Art A founder Sylvia Minassian said. "Our goal is to launch the careers of emerging filmmakers and celebrate the independent film work of our festival's most gifted filmmakers."

Wise Prize Winner Seeks Boater Education
HOUSTON — Adhering to boating safety laws is the single greatest factor in reducing boating accidents, injuries and fatalities, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Each year TPWD coordinates hundreds of classes across the state. If you plan on operating a boat, whether you own one, rent one or win one, a boating education class is a good idea.
The need for boater education was quickly recognized by Houston-area veterinarian Julie Henson-Hiser, who registered for class after she won a new Blue Wave 220 Super Tunnel in the 2004 State of Texas Angler's Rodeo (STAR) tournament this year. The private, non-profit group Coastal Conservation Association of America holds the contest and offers big prizes to anglers who catch tagged redfish.
"I was so thrilled that I ran through the marsh, kicking mud up in the air and on my husband," said Henson-Hiser. Fortunately, her excitement didn't stop her from acting responsibly.
"She said she was s novice to the boating experience and desired some training so she could actually run the boat for herself,— said Warren Steffen, a Boater Education Instructor at TPWD.
Henson-Hiser's husband drives a boat, but she didn't assume she had driving know-how because she'd ridden in one. There are distinct differences between automobile laws and boating laws, said Jack Dyess, Boater Education Coordinator at TPWD.
"Unfortunately, most boaters seem to think that because they know the laws pertaining to the operation of automobiles, they somehow know the laws pertaining to boat operations," said Dyess. "This is similar to thinking that because one knows how to speak English they automatically know how to speak Swahili."

TAUHEEDUL Trust's latest bid for a purpose-built Islamic academy in Blackburn is set to be blocked on Thursday.
Planning officials have recommended councillors refuse planning permission to demolish the Edinburgh House YMCA in Clarence Street for the four-storey boys' secondary school.
The trust has moved the academy temporarily from Bicknell Street, Little Harwood, to the former Blakewater College in Shadsworth from next term. This followed the planned September opening in Shear Brow proving impossible due to the lengthy row.
Proposals to build the country's first Muslim free school were first put forward in 2011 but the scheme provoked opposition from neighbours.
Despite halving the intake to 300 and proposals to deal with residents' concerns by building an underground car park and rewarding pupils for walking to school, officers want councillors to turn down the plan.
The development was thrown into chaos in October when a High Court Judge ruled that dropping a multi-games area, since reinstated, for parking broke the council's own rules.
The revised scheme will be considered by the Blackburn with Darwen planning committee on Thursday. Planning officers say it is 'substantial overdevelopment of the site', lacks outdoor space for pupils, would lead to the loss of protected trees, and 'does not respect the character of appearance' of the Corporation Park Conservation Area.
Four petitions and 21 letters opposing the scheme have been received, including from the 280-year-old nearby Blackburn Subscription Bowling Club.
Two petitions and 798 letters of support have been received.
Seven recent letters of objection calling for an end to the saga, and four of support are included in a report to be considered by the committee.
Bowling club treasurer Carol Donnelly said: "We are pleased with the recommendation and hope councillors pay attention this time." Nobody from the Tauheedul Trust was available for comment.

Netflix is challenging developers to improve a few cloud features, including usability, quality, reliability, and security. What will the winners of this competion get? A check for $10,000 and, I'm sure, pretty good bragging rights.
There are 10 categories of cloud features, which will be judged by a panel of independent technologists, including Amazon.com CTO Werner Vogels, Thoughtworks chief scientist Martin Fowler, and Netflix cloud vice president Yury Izrailevsk. Each category offers a $10,000 prize, for a total kitty of $100,000. (This Word file contains the rules.)
[ Hands-on review: 8 IaaS public cloud services put to the test | For the full scoop on the state of the cloud in the enterprise, check out InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Should you bother entering? A few thoughts:
First, this contest centers on Amazon Web Services (AWS) -- one of the judges is the CTO of AWS, and Netflix is a huge AWS customer. It will be interesting to see if someone enters an OpenStack or Windows Azure solution. If so, it won't have a chance.
Second, just $10,000 per category? I suspect the time and effort put into building the proposed solutions will go well beyond that mark, as will the benefits to Netflix and AWS. However, developers have a strange habit of being drawn to these sorts of challenges (I was), and many will bite, despite the bad economics.
Don't get me wrong: Netflix has been an innovator in the world of public cloud computing for some time. This includes releasing its own open source software to help AWS public cloud users perform such tasks such as locating and removing "zombie" processes. Netflix itself is a user, and it has a history of giving back to the cloud community.
I can't really criticize this contest. Netflix and AWS get some free press, and perhaps some good technology. The winning developers get a nice boost to their résumés and perhaps enough money to buy a new scooter.
