Criticisms and Interpretations
By William Makepeace Thackeray
too, has described, though with a greater hand, the characters and scenes which he knew and saw. He had more than ordinary opportunities for becoming acquainted with life. His family and education, firsthis fortunes and misfortunes afterwards, brought him into the society of every rank and condition of man. He is himself the hero of his books; he is wild Tom Jones, he is wild Captain Booth; less wild, I am glad to think, than his predecessor: at least heartily conscious of demerit, and anxious to amend.
When Fielding first came upon the town in 1727, the recollection of the great wits was still fresh in the coffeehouses and assemblies and the judges there declared that young Harry Fielding had more spirits and wit than Congreve or any of his brilliant successors. His figure was tall and stalwart; his face handsome, manly, and noble-looking; to the very last days of his life he retained a grandeur of air, and although worn down by disease, his aspect and presence imposed respect upon the people round about him.
A dispute took place between Mr. Fielding and the captain of the ship in which he was making his last voyage, and Fielding relates how the man finally went down on his knees, and begged his passengers pardon. He was living up to the last days of his life, and his spirit never gave in. His vital power must have been immensely strong. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu prettily characterises Fielding and this capacity for happiness which he possessed, in a little notice of his death when she compares him to Steele, who was as improvident and as happy as he was, and says that both should have gone on living forever. One can fancy the eagerness and gusto with which a man of Fieldings frame, with his vast health and robust appetite, his ardent spirits, his joyful humour, and his keen and healthy relish for life, must have seized and drunk that cup of pleasure which the town offered to him. Can any of my hearers remember the youthful feats of a college breakfastthe meats devoured and the cups quaffed in that Homeric feast? I can call to mind some of the heroes of those youthful banquets, and fancy young Fielding from Leyden rushing upon the feast, with his great laugh, and immense healthy young appetite, eager and vigorous to enjoy. The young mans wit and manners made him friends everywhere: he lived with the grand Mans society of those days; he was courted by peers and men of wealth and fashion. As he had a paternal allowance from his father, General Fielding, which, to use Henrys own phrase, any man might pay who would; as he liked good wine, good clothes, and good company, which are all expensive articles to purchase, Harry Fielding began to run into debt, and borrow money in that easy manner in which Captain Booth borrows money in the novel: was in nowise particular in accepting a few pieces from the purses of his rich friends, and bore down upon more than one of them, as Walpole tells us only too truly, for a dinner or a guinea. To supply himself with the latter, he began to write theatrical pieces, having already, no doubt, a considerable acquaintance amongst the Oldfields and Bracegirdles behind the scenes. He laughed at these pieces and scorned them. When the audience upon one occasion began to hiss a scene which he was too lazy to correct, and regarding which, when Garrick remonstrated with him, he said that the public was too stupid to find out the badness of his work: when the audience began to hiss, Fielding said with characteristic coolnessThey have found it out, have they? He did not prepare his novels in this way, and with a very different care and interest laid the foundations and built up the edifices of his future fame.
Time and shower have very little damaged those. The fashion and ornaments are, perhaps, of the architecture of that age, but the buildings remain strong and lofty, and of admirable proportionsmasterpieces of genius and monuments of workmanlike skill.
I cannot offer or hope to make a hero of Harry Fielding. Why hide his faults? Why conceal his weaknesses in a cloud of periphrases? Why not show him, like him as he is, not robed in a marble toga, and draped and polished in an heroic attitude, but with inked ruffles, and claret stains on his tarnished laced coat, and on his manly face the marks of good fellowship, of illness, of kindness, of care and wine? Stained as you see him, and worn by care and dissipation, that man retains some of the most precious and splendid human qualities and endowments. He has an admirable natural love of truth, the keenest instinctive antipathy to hypocrisy, the happiest satirical gift of laughing it to scorn. His wit is wonderfully wise and detective; it flashes upon a rogue and lightens up a rascal like a policemans lantern. He is one of the manliest and kindliest of human beings: in the midst of all his imperfections, he respects female innocence and infantine tenderness as you would suppose such a great-hearted, courageous soul would respect and care for them. He could not be so brave, generous, truth-telling as he is, were he not infinitely merciful, pitiful, and tender. He will give any man his pursehe cant help kindness and profusion.
He may have low tastes, but not a mean mind; he admires with all his heart good and virtuous men, stoops to no flattery, bears no rancour, disdains all disloyal arts, does his public duty uprightly, is fondly loved by his family, and dies at his work.
As a picture of manners, the novel of
Tom Jones
is indeed exquisite: as a work of construction, quite a wonder: the by-play of wisdom; the power of observation; the multiplied felicitous turns and thoughts; the varied character of the great Comic Epic; keep the reader in a perpetual admiration and curiosity.
But against Mr. Thomas Jones himself we have a right to put in a protest, and quarrel with the esteem the author evidently has for that character. Charles Lamb says finely of Jones that a single hearty laugh from him clears the airbut then it is in a certain state of the atmosphere. It might clear the air when such personages as Blifil or Lady Bellaston poison it. But I fear very much that (except until the very last scene of the story), when Mr. Jones enters Sophias drawing-room, the pure air there is rather tainted with the young gentlemans tobacco-pipe and punch.
I cant say that I think Mr. Jones a virtuous character; I cant say but that I think Fieldings evident liking and admiration for Mr. Jones shows that the great humorists moral sense was blunted by his life, and that here, in Art and Ethics, there is a great error. If it is right to have a hero whom we may admire, let us at least take care that he is admirable: if, as is the plan of some authors (a plan decidedly against their interests, be it said), it is propounded that there exists in life no such being, and therefore that in novels, the picture of life, there should appear no such character; then Mr. Thomas Jones becomes an admissible person, and we examine his defects and good qualities, as we do those of Parson Thwackum, or Miss Seagrim. But a hero with a flawed reputation; a hero spunging for a guinea; a hero who cant pay his landlady, and is obliged to let his honour out to hire, is absurd and his claim to heroic rank untenable. I protest against Mr. Thomas Jones holding such rank at all. I protest even against his being considered a more than ordinary young fellow, ruddy-cheeked, broad-shouldered, and fond of wine and pleasure. He would not rob a church, but that is all; and a pretty long argument may be debated, as to which of these old typesthe spendthrift, the hypocrite, Jones and Blifil, Charles and Joseph Surfaceis the worst member of society and the most deserving of censure.
What a wonderful art! What an admirable gift of nature was it by which the author of these tales was endowed, and which enabled him to fix our interest, to waken our sympathy, to seize upon our credulity, so that we believe in his peoplespeculate gravely upon their faults or their excellences, prefer this one or that, deplore Joness fondness for play and drink, Booths fondness for play and drink, and the unfortunate position of the wives of both gentlemenlove and admire those ladies with all our hearts, and talk about them as faithfully as if the Park! What a genius! what a vigour! what a bright-eyed intelligence and observation! what a wholesome hatred for meanness and knavery! what a vast sympathy! what a cheerfulness! what a manly relish of life! what a love of human kind! what a poet is here!watching, meditating, brooding, creating! What multitudes of truths has that man left behind him! What generations he has taught to laugh wisely and fairly! What scholars he has formed and accustomed to the exercise of thoughtful humour and the manly play of wit! What a courage he had! What a dauntless and constant cheerfulness of intellect, that burned bright and steady through all the storms of his life and never deserted its last wreck! It is wonderful to think of the pains and misery which the man suffered; the pressure of want, illness, remorse which he endured! and that the writer was neither malignant nor melancholy, his view of truth never warped, and his generous human kindness never surrendered.
In the quarrel mentioned before, which happened on Fieldings last voyage to Lisbon, and when the stout captain of the ship fell down on his knees, and asked the sick mans pardonI did not suffer, Fielding says, in his hearty, manly way, his eyes lighting up as it were with their old fireI did not suffer a brave man and an old man to remain a moment in that posture, but immediately forgave him. Indeed, I think, with his noble spirit and unconquerable generosity, Fielding reminds one of those brave men of whom one reads in stories of English shipwrecks and disastersof the officer on the African shore, when disease had destroyed the crew, and he himself is seized by fever, who throws the lead with a death-stricken hand, takes the soundings, carries the ship out of the river or off the dangerous coast, and dies in the manly endeavorof the wounded captain, when the vessel founders, who never loses his heart, who eyes the danger steadily, and has a cheery word for all, until the inevitable fate overwhelms him, and the gallant ship goes down. Such a brave and gentle heart, such an intrepid and courageous spirit, I love to recognise in the manly, the English Harry Fielding.From
The English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century.
Note 1.
Manners change from generation to generation, and with manners morals appear to changeactually change with some, but appear to change with all but the abandoned. A young man of the present day who should act as Tom Jones is supposed to act at Upton, with Lady Bellaston, &c., would not be a Tom Jones; and a Tom Jones of the present day, without perhaps being in the ground a better man, would have perished rather than submit to be kept by a harridan of fortune. Therefore, this novel is, and indeed pretends to be, no example of conduct. But, notwithstanding all this, I do loathe the cant which can recommend
Clarissa Harlowe
as strictly moral, although they poison the imagination of the young with continued doses of
tinct, lyttæ,
Tom Jones
is prohibited as loose. I do not speak of young women; but a young man whose heart or feelings can be injured, or even his passions excited by this novel, is already thoroughly corrupt. There is a cheerful, sunshiny, breezy spirit, that prevails everywhere, strongly contrasted with the close, hot, day-dreamy continuity of Richardson.C

The Order of St. Lazarus, Present Day
Since time immemorial the creatures of darkness have wandered the world, pursuing they mystical ends, often preying on mankind in the process.
The Order of St. Lazarus was founded by a Crusading Knight in the 14th century. He was born Sigmund Merovingian, and in the desert sands of Persia he learned many secrets from the Sufi Sages. He had awakened, the Supernal energies fed his endeavors. Yet he knew that there was a greater measure of power to be gained. He had felt that beyond the Supernal was a Unity, something that others had called "Empyrean", some "The Throne", and others "The Principal". Here was a battery and source of unlimited power. He founded an Order of like-minded individuals who would travel the world, taking powerful items and relics, stealing the life force from the strong, and opening gateways to forbidden places.
Some say they are the most evil beings in all of creation, they tend to think of themselves and the true scientists of this grand experiment called creation. There is no end to which they will push themselves in order to grow stronger and more powerful. As Sigmund preaches "God did not make Angels, no, it is the most powerful that assume the powers of the Gods and thus can shape reality at their own discretion".

Title Insurance Foreclosure Issue
Q. I am in escrow on a bank owned foreclosure and I just received the Preliminary Title Report and Schedule of Exclusions. I actually read it, which I know most people don't, and found that one of the Exclusions from coverage is "any issues related to the foreclosure." Isn't protection from these types of issues the reason we buy title insurance? Mike M., Fairfax, VA
A. These title insurance policy schedule of exclusion clauses related to foreclosures are newer and a result of the robo-signing scandal and foreclosures paperwork processing issues. There are many legal opinions out there, depending on the state and foreclosure process, on how an issue would be handled and who would have to pay in case a foreclosed upon individual made a claim that they still owned the property due to an errant foreclosure process.
Regardless, if the title insurance company has placed an exclusion clause on your policy related to a previous foreclosure, and a problem does arise, the title company is going to let you know that it is your issue to resolve, not theirs. This is because they excluded coverage for that issue. So you want to try and get that exclusion off your policy, and maybe cancel your purchase if you cannot.
You can request that clause is removed, you can try another title insurance company to see if they will write a policy without that clause, and/or you can ask your lender to request that clause be removed (lenders often demand it be removed from their policy, and I believe that works sometimes). Or, as noted, you can cancel the purchase contract.
Make sure that whatever you do with the title insurance company, you get it in writing that the clause is removed, so as to protect yourself in case an issue arises down the road.
Miami Beach Condo
Q. I'm considering buying a rental condominium in a downtown Miami high-rise because demand seems strong, inventory is low, rents are rising, and I think prices will increase. What issues should I consider related to this investment? Maribel S., Miami, FL
A. As with all real estate, there are many issues to consider when purchasing property. One of the top issues for me on this type of an investment would be the financial picture. Many times, these types of real estate have low rents as compared to the high purchase prices of downtown condos and high HOA fees (though they may be reasonable for the soaring cost of operating a high-rise building). Due to that, many people like me do not think these make financial sense because you will be negative on your cash flows for years, and maybe decades.
Here's what you might consider doing. First, figure out the reasonable and conservatively estimated rents and expenses on paper. Subtract the expenses from rents, and annualize that number. If you are negative on cash flows, stop, stop, stop - those are the three most important words in real estate when a deal pencils in as a negative!
Find a property that pays for itself. I would guess negative cash flow is probably pretty likely for the condo property you are considering. Talk with a financial advisor and have them help you pencil out your real estate deal to make sure properties you consider are positive cash flow and you are earning a fair rate of return on your investment. They are out there, probably in moderately priced areas of Miami, and a comfortable retirement is banking on you making a smart decision! Good luck!

Rebman Has Five Hits; Ong Belts Two Home Runs
PRINCETON, N.J. – Hits haven't been a problem for the Yale softball team recently. Turning those hits into runs has been the issue. The Bulldogs went a long way toward solving that problem in Sunday's doubleheader with Princeton. Yale banged out 27 hits in the two games but more importantly scored 21 runs to earn a split with the Tigers.
Jennifer Ong and Christy Nelson both homered in the opener as the Bulldogs cruised to a 9-0, six-inning victory. In the second game, Princeton spoiled a big Yale comeback, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning to take a wild 13-12 decision.
Chelsey Dunham tossed a three-hit shutout in the first game. She struck out two and walked only one.
After the first six hitters were retired in order, it looked like the Bulldogs might struggle at the plate. Instead they erupted for seven runs in the third to seize control. Tori Balta and Virginia Waldrop started the rally with back-to-back singles. Ong then walked to load the bases. Katie Yanagisawa drove home the first run when she reached on an error, and Mariclaire Rebman singled home Waldrop. Meg Johnson followed with a two-run double, and Nelson capped the scoring with her three-run homer down the left field line.
That was more than enough for Dunham, who retired nine straight Princeton hitters in one stretch.
Yale added two runs in the sixth. Ong belted a solo homer to left. Yanagisawa followed with a double and later scored on Johnson's single up the middle.
The Bulldogs finished with 12 hits in the game.
It looked like the second game might end early when Princeton built a 9-1 lead after four innings. Yale, though, erupted for seven runs in the fifth to get right back in it. Again the rally was started by Balta and Waldrop, who both walked. Ong followed with a three-run homer, her second round-tripper of the day.
The Bulldogs, though, weren't through. Yanagisawa singled and Rebman walked and both scored on Johnson's double to right center. McKynlee Westman doubled home Johnson, and Waldrop knocked in the final run of the inning with an infield single.
After the Tigers scored three times in the bottom of the fifth, Yale answered with two runs in the sixth on an RBI double by Westman and a run scoring single from Dunham.
The Bulldogs then tied the score at 12 with a clutch, two-run seventh-inning rally. Rebman drove home the first run a double and then with two-out, Westman belted her third double of the game, which scored Rebman.
Sarah Rounsifer, though, led off the bottom of the seventh with a home run to centerfield to win it for Princeton (10-14, 2-2 Ivy).
Rebman finished 5-for-8 with two runs scored in the two games for Yale (7-13, 1-3 Ivy). Westman had four hits on the day, and Balta, Yanagisawa and Johnson each had three.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Wednesday when they play a doubleheader at Providence beginning at 3 p.m.

Luxury Condo Builders in New York Find Eager Takers
Field Is Crowded for Manhattan High-End Residential Projects, but Developers Are Netting Record Prices for Units
In the latest sign that New York City's luxury market remains hot, the developer of Manhattan's tallest residential tower said it has signed contracts to sell more than a third of its luxury condo units two years before the building is set to be completed.
The building, known as 432 Park, has a total asking price for its 126 units of $2.7 billion, according to a filing this week with the New York attorney general. That amount reflects a 13% increase over July and is the highest total asking price ever for a Manhattan condominium. The building's average asking price of $6,742 a foot also is near the top.

A few blocks to the west of 432 Park, Extell Development Co. is erecting a 1,004-foot-high luxury building known as One57. Also in Midtown, a group of investors led by Chetrit Group that just bought the Sony Corp. building for $1.1 billion is planning to convert part of it into condos.
In addition, real-estate investor Starwood Capital Group and New York developer TriBeCa Associates recently started marketing the opulent Baccarat Hotel & Residences, with 61 luxury apartments, which is under construction in Midtown.
There is concern among some developers that too much big-ticket supply is arriving over a short period. Another economic downturn could blunt demand for top-of-the-market real estate.
But for now, demand for the high-end units remains strong. For example, Extell said it has signed contracts to sell about 70% of its 92 units. The average price per square foot of units sold is about $6,000, a spokeswoman said.
At a downtown Manhattan luxury project called 56 Leonard, $450 million in contracts were signed in the first few weeks, including more than half the 145 apartments, according to Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group.
Hall Willkie, president of New York residential broker Brown Harris Stevens, said that contracts signed by his brokers in January and February were the highest ever.
Condo developers in New York often begin marketing units years before completion. Buyers typically sign nonrefundable contracts and put down deposits, paying the balance when the apartments are delivered.
The developers of 432 Park were allowed to begin selling units in July and since then have increased prices three times. Official marketing for 432 Park begins on Wednesday.
When finished in 2015, the Rafael Viñoly-designed tower will rise 1,396 feet, making it the tallest residential building in the U.S. The exterior features 1,800 glass windows, each measuring about 100 square feet, that are part of every apartment.
Demand for high-price apartments is strong partly because, for now, not that much inventory is available. Brokers also point to a rush of affluent investors looking for hard assets that offer a view and other amenities.
Much of this demand is coming from overseas. But 432 Park's developers have been recruiting New Yorkers and other U.S. residents, who have signed the majority of the contracts so far.
Avi Shemesh, a CIM founding principal, said if savvy local buyers see 432 Park as a desirable place to live, it would build credibility with the market. "When you have people from New York buying, it validates the building," he said.
The most innovative element of 432 Park may be the developer's approach to financing the project when large construction loans are an endangered species.
Instead of turning to a bank syndicate, CIM and Mr. Macklowe received a six-year loan for $400 million from The Children's Investment Fund Foundation. The foundation was started by London-based hedge-fund investor Christopher Hohn and his wife.
CIM put in $400 million of equity from one of its real-estate funds. It raised another $415 million equity from high-net worth clients of Citigroup Inc. in the U.S. and abroad, who put up at least $1 million each. Property executives say no other high-profile project has raised as much money from individual investors.

WUSB Transmitter Problems Please help with your Donation
Hello everyone thanks for listening and supporting WUSB all year . We need an extra little bit of help right now , all the storms have caused some parts to fail at our tower site . This means we are operating at low power and may not come in in your neighborhood right now on the 90.1 fm station but you can hear everything here on our website until everything is fixed. Our great engineer Frank is working on getting us back up to full power as soon as all the parts arrive.
In the mean time we need to purchase a back up transmitter which costs from $4000 to $5000 dollars . So any extra dollars you can send our way would help WUSB out a lot, to make it easy you can donate right here http://www.wusb.fm/pledge or call 631-632-9872 (WUSB)
Thank you again and we hope you can crank us up to full power again in your community real soon ! Keep Listening ~
Best Regards , Isobel WUSB General Manager

Once upon a time, Kicky's bedroom looked like this...spotless and adorable. And then all plastic hell broke loose and this is what that adorable room looked like last weekend. I'm genuinely embarrassed by the shear quantity of stuff she has and by the fact that we let her space get so filthy.
Messy or not...

Ha. Love it! Just close the door! And every once and a while, I like to use the vacuum threat just for fun because there is a certain perverse humour to parking it in front of a big pile of Lego/Playmobile/hair stuff/etc. to get a reaction. Glad to hear from you. So happy to get your posts in my RSS : ) Stay warm!

Well you are not alone! I can tolerate a fair bit but then it reaches a point where I kind of snap and have to get in and sort, throw stuff out and tidy - it seems like you might be approaching that point lol. Kicky might enjoy helping you sort things out, I have been suprised that my kids (2&4yo) do. You have been through a bit of a transition with moving house, your job and the kids growing and changing... something's gotta give. Don't feel bad.

I have been a reading your blog (and many others) for years now and I'm one of those people that NEVER comment. I am doing so now because I wanted to honor and thank you for this post in particular. If I eventually decide to end my love affair with home/craft/beauty/design blogs it will be because they lack the authenticity you show here. Aesthetic excellence is the reason why we visit these blogs, but there's a growing feeling of hollowness without that human element. I wish others did this more. Thank you, woman! You are awesome.

Thank you so much for showing and speaking the truth! While I love the blog universe of inspiring ways to create a beautiful home life, I have been fantasizing about creating something that shows the other side and helps people (especially moms) feel just fine about not being perfect. Kudos to you for doing so!

OpenBSD 5.1 Arrives!
Yesterday I was pleased to discover that my copy of OpenBSD 5.1 had arrived!
That's nothing a couple o' pints wouldn't fix.
Woo hoo!
Those who have the latest stickers are cool!
And, 5.1 has now been officially released. The following was posted to announce@, misc@, and tech@ about 4 hours ago:
- OpenBSD 5.1 RELEASED ------------------------------------------------- May 1, 2012. We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 5.1. This is our 31st release on CD-ROM (and 31th via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than ten years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 5.1 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system: - Improved hardware support, including: o umsm(4) supports additional mobile broadband devices. o Non-GigE ale(4) devices can now establish link to a GigE link partner. o Support for Intel 82580 has been added to em(4). o Support for MegaRAID 9240 has been added to mfi(4). o Support for Nuvoton NCT6776F has been added to lm(4). o Support for Centrino Advanced-N 6205 has been added to iwn(4). o Support for SiS 1182/1183 SATA has been added to pciide(4). o Support for Synaptics touch pads through the synaptics(4) X.Org input driver is now enabled by default. o Support for Intel Sandy Bridge integrated graphics cards has been added to the intel(4) X.Org driver. o Assembler implementation of the AES-GCM mode for new Intel and future AMD CPUs has been added. o usb(4) probes bus after resume, improves functionality for some laptops. - Generic network stack improvements: o RFC4638 MTU negotiation for pppoe(4). o npppdctl(8) replaced with npppctl(8), written from scratch. Includes support for IPv6 as tunnel source address. o Improve performance (throughput and loss rate) for PPTP, pppd(8) or L2TP(/IPsec) on unstable latency networks (eg mobile). o Improved IPv6 fragment handling. o Many robustness improvements for IEEE 802.11 (particularly hostap). o Improved vlan priority support, including mapping to interface queues. o Initial rdomains support for IPv6. o Robustness improvements for carp(4). o Various IPv6 and rdomain related improvements for carp(4). - Routing daemons and other userland network improvements: o fstat(8) now displays routing table ID and socket-splicing information and ps can display routing table ID. o traceroute(8) and traceroute6(8) can look up ASNs for each hop. o snmpd(8) adds a MIB to show statistics for carp(4) interfaces. o bgpctl(8) parses and display MRT routing table dumps. o ntpd(8) supports multiple rdomains. o When ospfd(8) detects route socket overflow, it now delays before it reloads the fib. o Improved and more consistent ToS support in various network tools (tcpbench(8), nc(8), ping(8), traceroute(8)). o Initial inport of login_yubikey(8) for logging in using yubikeys. - pf(4) improvements: o One-shot rule support for pf(4), for use with proxies via anchors. o NAT64 support in PF using the af-to keyword. o Much improved IPv6 fragment handling. o Various enhancements with ICMP and especially ICMPv6 states o Improved IPv6 Neighbor Discovery and Multicast Listener Discovery handling. o pfctl(8) now prints port numbers instead of service names by default. o Netflow v9 and ipfix support for pflow(4). o Many pfsync(4) fixes and improvements including jumbo frames and automatically requesting a bulk update after a physical interface comes online. - Assorted improvements: o Improved locale support. o Support for MSG_NOSIGNAL. o KERN_PROC_CWD sysctl(3) for fetching the path to a process's working directory. o Improved fnmatch(3), glob(3), and regcomp(3) implementations to resist DoS attacks. o Lots of HISTORY and AUTHORS information added to manpages. o Improved checking of file-offset wraparound. o pwrite(2)/pwritev(2) now correctly by ignored O_APPEND. o Improved conformance of header files with standards. o Improved cancelation support in both user-threads (libpthread) and rthreads. o Improved correctness of execing, coredumping, signal delivery, alternate signal stacks, blocking socket accepts(), mutexes and condition variables, per-thread errno, symbol binding, and ktracing when rthreads are in use. o Architecture-independent kernel support for thread-control-block handling for rthreads. o Small improvements to Linux compat (only available on i386). o Multiple bugs have been fixed in the Intel 10Gb driver ix(4). o softraid(4) now supports a concatenating discipline. o On amd64, i386, and sparc64, the root filesystem can reside in a softraid(4) volume. The kernel needs to be booted from a non-softraid partition. o On amd64, the system can be booted from a softraid(4) RAID1 volume. o aucat(1) adds a "device number" component in sndio(7) device names, allowing a single aucat instance to handle all audio and MIDI services. o Built-in sndiod(1) sound daemon now uses default rate 48kHz and the default block size 10ms. These settings ensure video players and programs using MTC are smooth by default. o Many updates to smtpd(8): a new scheduler_backend API introduced, more MIME 1.0 support added, new filter callbacks for network events, improved DNS error reporting and envelope handling, and the purge/ directory is now cleared via a privilege-separated child. o tmux(1) is extended to support a larger history, minimizes redundant log messages and does some code reordering for more local and less global variables. Support is added for the ESC[s and ESC[u save/restore cursor-position key sequences. $HOME (or ~) may now be used as default-path in tmux.conf. o Enhanced cwm(1) event support, added {r,}cycleingroup to cycle through clients belonging to the same group as the active client, simplified color initialization. o The mg(1) emacs-like editor: now uses absolute filenames while pushing and popping off the stack. In dired mode: corrected cursor movements and added missing keybindings. - OpenSSH 6.0: o New features: - ssh-keygen(1): add optional checkpoints for moduli screening. - ssh-add(1): new -k option to load plain keys (skipping certificates). - sshd(8): add wildcard support to PermitOpen, allowing things like "PermitOpen localhost:*". (bz#1857) - ssh(1): support for cancelling local and remote port forwards via the multiplex socket. Use "ssh -O cancel -L xx:xx:xx -R yy:yy:yy user@host" to request the cancellation of the specified forwardings. - support cancellation of local/dynamic forwardings from ~C commandline. o The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release: - ssh(1): ensure that $DISPLAY contains only valid characters before using it to extract xauth data so that it can't be used to play local shell metacharacter games. - ssh(1): unbreak remote port forwarding with dynamic allocated listen ports. - scp(1): uppress adding '--' to remote commandlines when the first argument does not start with '-'. Saves breakage on some difficult-to-upgrade embedded/router platforms. - ssh(1) and sshd(8): fix typo in IPQoS parsing: there is no "AF14" class, but there is an "AF21" class. - ssh(1) and sshd(8): do not permit SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST/ACCEPT during rekeying. - ssh(1): skip attempting to create ~/.ssh when -F is passed. - sshd(8): unbreak stdio forwarding when ControlPersist is in use. (bz#1943) - sshd(8): send tty break to pty master instead of (probably already closed) slave side. (bz#1859) - sftp(1): silence error spam for "ls */foo" in directory with files. (bz#1683) - Fixed a number of memory and file descriptor leaks. - Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in the package build process o Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download, discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use the new and improved method. o Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects user scripts such as out-of-date o More checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness o The long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done. o The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies, thus helping package builds be more reproducible. This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already. o The semantics of pkg_add -a have been nailed down and a few minor bugs have been fixed. o The arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very small data-size limits. o dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds - Many pre-built packages for each architecture: o i386: 7229 o sparc64: 6599 o alpha: 5943 o sh: 2459 o amd64: 7181 o powerpc: 6852 o sparc: 4152 o arm: 5536 o hppa: 6159 o vax: 2199 o mips64: 5785 o mips64el: 5807 - Some highlights: o Gnome 3.2.1 o KDE 3.5.10 o Xfce 4.8.3 o MySQL 5.1.60 o PostgreSQL 9.1.2 o Postfix 2.8.8 o OpenLDAP 2.3.43 and 2.4.26 o GHC 7.0.4 o Mozilla Firefox 3.5.19, 3.6.25 and 9.0.1 o Mozilla Thunderbird 9.0.1 o LibreOffice 22.214.171.124 o Emacs 21.4, 22.3 and 23.4 o Vim 7.3.154 o PHP 5.2.17 and 5.3.10 o Python 2.5.4, 2.7.1 and 3.2.2 o Ruby 188.8.131.527 and 220.127.116.11 o Tcl 8.5.11 o Jdk 1.7 o Mono 2.10.6 o Chromium 16.0.912.77 o Groff 1.21 - As usual, steady improvements in manual pages and other documentation. o Base system and Xenocara manuals are now installed as source code, making grep(1) more useful in /usr/share/man/ and /usr/X11R6/man/. o If both formatted and source versions of manuals are installed, man(1) automatically displays the newer version of each page. - The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers: o Xenocara (based on X.Org 7.6 with xserver 1.11.4 + patches, freetype 2.4.8, fontconfig 2.8.0, Mesa 7.10.3, xterm 276, xkeyboard-config 2.5 and more) o Gcc 4.2.1 (+patches), 3.3.5 (+ patches) and 2.95.3 (+ patches) o Perl 5.12.2 (+ patches) o Our improved and secured version of Apache 1.3, with SSL/TLS and DSO support o OpenSSL 1.0.0f (+ patches) o Sendmail 8.14.5, with libmilter o Bind 9.4.2-P2 (+ patches) o Lynx 2.8.7rel.2 with HTTPS and IPv6 support (+ patches) o Sudo 1.7.2p8 o Ncurses 5.7 o Heimdal 0.7.2 (+ patches) o Arla 0.35.7 o Binutils 2.15 (+ patches) o Gdb 6.3 (+ patches) o Less 444 (+ patches) o Awk Aug 10, 2011 version If you'd like to see a list of what has changed between OpenBSD 5.0 and 5.1, look at http://www.OpenBSD.org/plus51.html Even though the list is a summary of the most important changes made to OpenBSD, it still is a very very long list. We provide patches for known security threats and other important issues discovered after each CD release. As usual, between the creation of the OpenBSD 5.1 FTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 5.1 release date, our team found and fixed some new reliability problems (note: most are minor and in subsystems that are not enabled by default). Our continued research into security means we will find new security problems -- and we always provide patches as soon as possible. Therefore, we advise regular visits to http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html and http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html Security patch announcements are sent to the email@example.com mailing list. For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please see: http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html OpenBSD 5.1 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs $50 CDN and is available via mail order and from a number of contacts around the world. The set includes a colourful booklet which carefully explains the installation of OpenBSD. A new set of cute little stickers is also included (sorry, but our FTP mirror sites do not support STP, the Sticker Transfer Protocol). As an added bonus, the second CD contains an audio track, a song entitled "Bug Busters". MP3 and OGG versions of the audio track can be found on the first CD. Lyrics (and an explanation) for the songs may be found at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#51 Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD project -- in essence selling these CD-ROM units ensures that OpenBSD will continue to make another release six months from now. The OpenBSD 5.1 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following four platforms: o i386 o amd64 o macppc o sparc64 (Other platforms must boot from floppy, network, or other method). For more information on ordering CD-ROMs, see: http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html The above web page lists a number of places where OpenBSD CD-ROMs can be purchased from. For our default mail order, go directly to: https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order All of our developers strongly urge you to buy a CD-ROM and support our future efforts. Additionally, donations to the project are highly appreciated, as described in more detail at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html#funding For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts, the OpenBSD Foundation (http://www.openbsdfoundation.org) is a Canadian not-for-profit corporation that can accept larger contributions and issue receipts. In some situations, their receipt may qualify as a business expense write-off, so this is certainly a consideration for some organizations or businesses. There may also be exposure benefits since the Foundation may be interested in participating in press releases. In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD's infrastructure needs. Contact the foundation directors at email@example.com for more information. The OpenBSD distribution companies also sell tshirts and polo shirts. And our users like them, too. We have a variety of shirts available, with the new and old designs, from our web ordering system at, as described above. If you choose not to buy an OpenBSD CD-ROM, OpenBSD can be easily installed via FTP or HTTP downloads. Typically you need a single small piece of boot media (e.g., a boot floppy) and then the rest of the files can be installed from a number of locations, including directly off the Internet. Follow this simple set of instructions to ensure that you find all of the documentation you will need while performing an install via FTP or HTTP. With the CD-ROMs, the necessary documentation is easier to find. 1) Read either of the following two files for a list of ftp/http mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you: http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ftplist As of Nov 1, 2011, the following ftp mirror sites have the 5.1 release: ftp://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Stockholm, Sweden ftp://ftp.bytemine.net/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Oldenburg, Germany ftp://ftp.ch.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Zurich, Switzerland ftp://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Paris, France ftp://ftp5.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Vienna, Austria ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Brisbane, Australia ftp://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ CO, USA ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ CA, USA ftp://obsd.cec.mtu.edu/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Michigan, USA The release is also available at the master site: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ Alberta, Canada However it is strongly suggested you use a mirror. Other mirror sites may take a day or two to update. 2) Connect to that ftp mirror site and go into the directory pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ which contains these files and directories. This is a list of what you will see: ANNOUNCEMENT armish/ mvme68k/ sparc64/ Changelogs/ ftplist mvme88k/ src.tar.gz HARDWARE hp300/ packages/ sys.tar.gz PACKAGES hppa/ ports.tar.gz tools/ PORTS i386/ root.mail vax/ README landisk/ sgi/ xenocara.tar.gz alpha/ mac68k/ socppc/ zaurus/ amd64/ macppc/ sparc/ It is quite likely that you will want at LEAST the following files which apply to all the architectures OpenBSD supports. README - generic README HARDWARE - list of hardware we support PORTS - description of our "ports" tree PACKAGES - description of pre-compiled packages root.mail - a copy of root's mail at initial login. (This is really worthwhile reading). 3) Read the README file. It is short, and a quick read will make sure you understand what else you need to fetch. 4) Next, go into the directory that applies to your architecture, for example, i386. This is a list of what you will see: INSTALL.i386 cd51.iso floppyB51.fs pxeboot* INSTALL.linux cdboot* floppyC51.fs xbase51.tgz MD5 cdbr* game51.tgz xetc51.tgz base51.tgz cdemu51.iso index.txt xfont51.tgz bsd* comp51.tgz install51.iso xserv51.tgz bsd.mp* etc51.tgz man51.tgz xshare51.tgz bsd.rd* floppy51.fs misc51.tgz If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386 and the appropriate floppy*.fs or install51.iso files. Consult the INSTALL.i386 file if you don't know which of the floppy images you need (or simply fetch all of them). If you use the install51.iso file (roughly 250MB in size), then you do not need the various *.tgz files since they are contained on that one-step ISO-format install CD. 5) If you are an expert, follow the instructions in the file called README; otherwise, use the more complete instructions in the file called INSTALL.i386. INSTALL.i386 may tell you that you need to fetch other files. 6) Just in case, take a peek at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while creating the 5.1 release, or the significant bugs we fixed post-release which we think our users should have fixes for. Patches and workarounds are clearly described there. Note: If you end up needing to write a raw floppy using Windows, you can use "fdimage.exe" located in the pub/OpenBSD/5.1/tools directory to do so. X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system. This release contains X.Org 7.6. Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including amd64, sparc, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install X.Org quite easily. Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have customized it for OpenBSD. The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building third party software. The software has been verified to build and run on the various OpenBSD architectures. The 5.1 ports collection, including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD set. Please see the PORTS file for more information. Note: some of the most popular ports, e.g., the Apache web server and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD. Also, many popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below). A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see the PACKAGES file (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/PACKAGES) for more details. The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained above, and the README (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.1/README) file explains how to deal with these source files. For those who are doing an FTP install, the source code for all four subsystems can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/5.1/ directory: xenocara.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz Ports tree and package building by Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse, Landry Breuil, Michael Erdely, Stuart Henderson, Peter Hessler, Paul Irofti, Antoine Jacoutot, Robert Nagy, and Christian Weisgerber. System builds by Theo de Raadt, Mark Kettenis, and Miod Vallat. X11 builds by Todd Fries and Miod Vallat. ISO-9660 filesystem layout by Theo de Raadt. We would like to thank all of the people who sent in bug reports, bug fixes, donation cheques, and hardware that we use. We would also like to thank those who pre-ordered the 5.1 CD-ROM or bought our previous CD-ROMs. Those who did not support us financially have still helped us with our goal of improving the quality of the software.

One minute after that message was mailed out, the OpenBSD 5.1 webpage was updated with a note saying that GNOME 3.2.1 only supports fallback mode. This issue was discussed back in September, so apparently the problem was not fixed in time for the 5.1 release. Just a heads-up for any OpenBSD GNOME users.
@Android1 Thanks for the heads up.
Just for a notice you can compile a newer version of FireFox than the one i packages I know some had problems on OpenBSD 5.0 but I had non on 5.1

openbsd 5.1. arrives .... and gnome 2 dies
Folks, seriously, what are you going to do with gnome3?
I need to work. I do not need to play with some blinky-tinky big icons which suddenly appear to make a touchscreen pear phone out of my laptop. Sorry, but while kde4 appears to be a snail kde3 with fancy blinking, it still is usable, however gnome3 is far from that! How many times you have to click to start a simple terminal? Where are standard shortcuts? Why can't I have things like I am used to?
Sorry, gnome developers, you are on a wrong track.
I should add that option a. above is rinse-and-repeat. The OS upgrade process (5.0, 5.1, and in the future 5.2, 5.3....ad infinitum) does not remove libraries, so you may keep your old packages installed as long as you like.
Granted, there are other window managers, also, if you don't like any of the options I've suggested. Gnome and KDE and XFCE are not the only ones, as tls pointed out in response to your complaint. With a quick look through the leaves of the x11 branch just now I counted 43 of them, but I may have missed a few, and that doesn't count the two window managers that come with the OS.

Gibbon, Indonesia (USNM 141157)
Gibbons are one of our closest living relatives. The Smithsonian Institution's Division of Mammals (http://vertebrates.si.edu/mammals/) houses many gibbons in its scientific collections.
This specimen, USNM 141157 (http://collections.mnh.si.edu/search/mammals/?irn=7250602), is a female agile gibbon (Hylobates agilis) from Indonesia. This individual was collected by William Abbott near Tarussan Bay on the island of Sumatra. This female weighed 13.75 lbs and had a head to body length of 420 mm.
This is a CT scan of the mandible of USNM 141157. These three-dimensional scans are made publicly available through the generous support of the Smithsonian 2.0 Fund, provided from the annual gifts of the Smithsonian National Board to the Secretary to use at his discretion (http://smithsonian20.si.edu/fund.html), and the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund.
The main goal of this joint initiative between the Human Origins Program and the Division of Mammals is to make the NMNH's scientific collections of our closest living relatives, the apes, available in 3D for education and research.

Examining Alabama's lifetime SNAP and TANF bans for people with felony drug convictions
How long should former drug felons who have completed their prison term continue to pay for their crime? Alabama is one of 10 states that still impose a lifetime ban on receipt of SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) benefits for anyone who has ever had a felony drug conviction, and one of 12 states with a similar ban on receipt of TANF (formerly known as welfare) benefits. The bans include no exceptions for people who have completed their sentences, complied with their probation terms, paid all their fines and penalties, and overcome their addictions.
This issue brief examines how many Alabamians may be affected by this lifetime ban and the potential financial and social effects of keeping it in place.

LAS VEGAS -- Just about anybody who cares about used vehicles knows that off-lease volume will be tight again this year as a result of fewer vehicles being leased during the recession.
What you may not know is that the pool of repossessed vehicles, another source of used-car inventory, will be skimpy, too, at least for now.
That's according to the Manheim 2012 Used Car Market Report, released here at the convention.
Here's why. People are putting more emphasis on making their monthly car payments and strong used-car prices means borrowers have more equity in their vehicles.
These factors make for fewer loan delinquencies and defaults. In fact, repossessions in 2011 dropped 32 percent to 1.3 million units compared with 2009.
As vehicle sales pick up and lenders ease lending standards, the number of repossessed vehicles will likely grow in the future, the report says. But volumes won't return to the 2009 peak of 1.9 million anytime soon.

Teacher Mistakenly Sends Photos Of Herself To Auto Insurer
We all make innocent mistakes sometimes.
Whether it's because we don't know any better or we're simply having an off day, harmless misunderstandings are a totally normal and natural thing.
I've had plenty of experiences in which I made a silly (or, in retrospect, stupid) mistake. While it was never the end of the world, I remember wanting to forget about each particular moment as quickly as possible — and I still cringe a little bit looking back on some of my more ridiculous goofs.
But one young woman took her self-described "blonde moment" and turned it into a hilarious viral story that people all over the world can relate to.
Alyssa Stringfellow's car insurance saga was recently shared by Love What Matters, and people seriously can't stop laughing at her hilarious mistake.
Scroll through to read all about Alyssa's funny misunderstanding!

Alyssa Stringfellow is a teacher from Little Rock, Arkansas.
On November 2, 2017, Alyssa shared the story of a funny mistake she made when she was in the process of being added to her grandma's car insurance policy.
The story quickly went viral, with over 19,000 shares on the original post at last count.
Facebook / Love What Matters
Alyssa's post was picked up by Love What Matters a few days later, where it reached even more people.
In the totally candid post, Alyssa writes:
I have been debating on whether or not to post this all day because it is PRETTY embarrassing to admit, but I have decided to go ahead and share my really, really… REALLY blonde moment with you guys. Hopefully you'll get a good laugh out of it once I'm done!
SO, here we go. Grab your popcorn, because it's story time.
Facebook / Alyssa Stringfellow
Once upon a very recent time, I decided it would be a good idea to be added to my memaw's car insurance policy. Everyone knows you save money with multiple cars, and being single and young… my insurance is pretty high.
So, I called Memaw and asked her what she thought, and she preceded to call her insurance agent to find out what I needed to do to be added.

Scenes from Patriots' win against Jets
Scenes from Patriots' win against Jets
Deion Branch and the Patriots claimed an important division win yesterday with a 30-21 victory against the Jets.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis starred for the Patriots with a season-high 136 yards rushing.
Green-Ellis, left, also added two touchdown runs.
The loss sent coach Rex Ryan and the Jets back to New York reeling after falling to 2-3 following their third straight defeat.
Tom Brady had another strong performance with 321 passing yards and a touchdown pass.
Wes Welker, often matched against Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis, caught five passes for 124 yards.
Green-Ellis went airborne for this third-quarter touchdown that put the Patriots up 24-14.
Branch delighted the Gillette Stadium crowd with a 2-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the second half.
Tight end Aaron Hernandez had his helmet ripped off by David Harris during this first-quarter tackle.
Later, Jets lineman D'Brickashaw Ferguson needed help getting his helmet untangled from the shoe of Patriots safety Patrick Chung.
Brady's biggest mistake came at the end of the first half when his pass intended for Hernandez was deflected into the arms of Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
The Patriots broke out their 1985 throwback uniforms for the game.
They also honored the Bruins prior to the game. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara brought the Stanley Cup onto the field.
The Patriots honored late Raiders owner Al Davis with a moment of silence prior to the game.
The Jets went home in third place in the AFC East, two games behind Buffalo and New England.
The Patriots won for the 19th straight time at home in the regular season. It marked the fifth-longest streak in NFL history.
Brady led his team to at least 30 points for the 13th straight game. That left the Patriots one game shy of tying the 1999-2000 Rams' all-time record.

People "believe" in God, but I "know" facts. So let's settle on this: I won't say I believe in science if you won't say you know God exists.

RED DEER — Given the way the regular season went, a close playoff series was predicted between the Calgary Hitmen and the Red Deer Rebels.
Of course it wasn't going to be easy. Of course, there would be overtime.
So it was no surprise that Tuesday's Game 4 needed to be solved in an extra frame — for the second time this best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series in as many nights.
Hitmen captain Cody Sylvester did the honours just over five minutes in to seal the 3-2 victory and put them in a position to clinch the showdown against Brent Sutter's hard-working Rebels in Game 5 at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday (7 p.m.).
No doubt, it was a happy bus leaving the Enmax Centrium as the Hitmen are in the driver's seat, leading 3-1.
"That's definitely huge for us," Sylvester said. "Going back to Calgary and playing in front of our fans. I know they're going to be out there cheering us on. They're going to be extremely loud and that fires us up even more.
"But we know Red Deer's a tough team, they're not going to quit."
Which they displayed in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over Sylvester and the gang. And, actually, for most of Tuesday, too.
Frankly, it was puzzling how Calgary managed to capture this one after being outplayed for the latter half, outshot (39-31), taking way too many foolish penalties and only scoring once on seven (!) power play chances.
"That definitely was not our best hockey and we can clean up our game right now," Sylvester admitted. "The second and parts of the third, we didn't come out to play. That's unacceptable in playoffs right now. But, at the end of the day, if you get a win out of it that's all that matters."
Lost in the mix was the fact that rookie Jake Virtanen netted his first WHL playoff marker (to put Calgary on the board early) and also helped set up Sylvester's overtime winner on a four-on-three rush. Virtanen had smartly left a drop-pass for defenceman Spencer Humphries, who'd worn the goat's horns Monday after he was in the penalty box when Red Deer scored in the extra frame.
Calgary jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period when Victor Rask fed the puck to Brooks Macek who was on Patrik Bartosak's doorstep. The Czech netminder was right there, but Macek expertly snatched the puck and went around his stick.
However, Red Deer's power-play — which, before Monday's overtime winner, had been a lowly 0-for-11 in the series — came to the rescue in the second period.
Only 2:32 into the frame — and Sylvester sitting off for boarding — Dominik Volek faked a slapshot to fool Hitmen defenceman Peter Kosterman and went stick-side on goalie Chris Driedger with Red Deer's Wyatt Johnson also helping out with the screen.
Then with Macek in the box for hooking, the Rebels power-play connected again to make it 2-2 when High River product Conner Bleackley's shot trickled through Driedger's five-hole. The frame saw the Rebels out-shoot Calgary 18-4.
It was the second overtime clash of the series and Calgary's fifth of the playoffs, after going into overtime three of the five games in the first round against the Swift Current Broncos.
In the regular season, the Hitmen went 4-0-1-1 against the Rebels but three of those six clashes went past 60 minutes. Meanwhile, five of the six were one-goal games.
"The last game is the hardest game to win," noted Driedger, who turned aside 37 of 39 shots. "But the boys are going to be focused. We can't let up. We're going to the Saddledome and we're pretty comfortable playing there lately. We'll come out hard and not give them anything."
ICE CHIPS . . . Calgary scratched LW Colten Mayor (undisclosed), RW Pavlo Padakin (knee), D Kenton Helgesen (hand), D Ben Thomas, and LW Austin Calladine . . . In place of Mayor, the Hitmen dressed rookie D Josh Thrower as a seventh defenceman . . .
