Sapphire HD 4890 Vapor-X 2GB Review
Since 2007, when Sapphire released the HD3870 Atomic that was reviewed here on OCC, the company has used the Vapor change cooling concept to cool just about all of its upper end enthusiast grade video cards. The one exception that comes to mind is the HD4870x2 Atomic that was water cooled. By using this cooling solution and using better parts, Sapphire's top end cards have that extra little bit in the tank when it comes to cooling and overclocking potential when compared to the reference cards.
The Sapphire HD4890 Vapor-X 2GB model is basically the 1GB model with an additional 1GB of GDDR5 memory to try and help out on the top end resolutions. The clock speeds remain identical at 870MHz on the 55nm RV790 core and 1050MHz on the not one but two gigabytes of GDDR5 memory. If the 2GB uses the same Quimonda memory that is rated for 1000MHz, I would expect the overall performance and overclocking to be very similar. Will the extra memory memory on the HD4890 Vapor-X 2GB make a difference in performance or will it just be an added bonus to help with a bit of future proofing? Will it be harder to overclock with the extra memory? Questions that definitley need answering as I have seen more than one post in forums asking just that question. Let's find out!
Closer Look:
The front and rear panels of the Sapphire HD 4890 Vapor-X 2GB mirror that of the 1GB model with, of course, the memory size listed in the top right corner showing 2GB. The front panel highlights the Vapor-X cooling system on the card and lists the features you can expect to use on the card. Native HDMI with seven channel sound, Crossfire-X capable with up to four cards on a supporting motherboard, Display Port output and the software titles included. The rear panel expands on this information shown on the front panel including the fact that the card uses Black Diamond chokes and solid capacitors.
When you open up the package, what you have is a box inside the liner that carries the card and all of the accessories. The Vapor-X HD 4890 2GB is stored in a plastic shell and is blocked off with foam to prevent the card from moving during shipment. It looks as though Sapphire is doing its part for the environment by using recycled cardboard for the boxes.
The accessory bundle is similar to that of the 1GB Vapor-X model and includes two software titles from Cyberlink, including Power DVD and your very own copy of the DX 10 benchmark 3DMark Vantage from Futuremark. The rest of the bundle includes a Crossfire bridge connection, HDMI to DVI dongle and two power connectors. The reason for the lack of adapters is clearly evident when you look a little closer at the Vapor-X 2GB. You really do not need a bunch of adapters when you have native connectivity with four different outlet types. Our card was delivered with two 4-pin by 6-pin power adapters. A slight faux pas when the card uses both six and 8-pin power connections. Sapphire has assured us that the correct cables will come with the retail cards.
Besides the basics, the one thing the cards have in common is the method of cooling the onboard components. While the implementation may be slightly different, the effect is the same. Both start out with a flat vapor chamber that the memory and GPU core directly contact. From there the solutions differ drastically, but that I will touch on later after seeing how the process works. The vapor plate is used to wick away heat, much the same way a heatpipe does. According to Sapphire's white paper on the vapor plate technology, the liquid inside the vapor plate is something we use each and every day - water, plain and simple. But water boils at 212 degrees F, right? Not when the pressure is reduced by pulling a vacuum. You can see the port where the vacuum was pulled, and the opening has been soldered shut to prevent vacuum loss. Rather than describe how the process works, I will let the blown-up images show just how simple the process really is. The next to last picture is a magnified image of the wicking material that is used in the assembly. From past experience the solution is quite effective at limiting the temperature increases on the HD 4XXX series of video cards from Sapphire. For more information about the technology you can visit Sapphire.
Let's see what makes these two video cards from Sapphire a bit better than the reference design cards.

Semi OT - Threet out for ASU
I apologize if this has already be posted but after a brief search I couldn't find anything.
According to ESPN Steven Threet will no longer be playing football due to concussions, something he is still getting symptoms from.
As frustrating as 2008 was for me, I still wished him well when he departed Ann Arbor and this is kind of sad to see, especially since he seemed to be doing quite well for ASU.

[EDIT: Searching "Steven Threet" does not produce the thread that was previously posted. Hence BRIEF search. I'll be sure to search every possible tag for you trollers out there next time.]

Combining thrilling battlefield action with strategic gameplay, 'Empires' gives each player the opportunity to influence the way history unfolds: gain fame in battle and rule their own nation as a 'Ruler', use strategy to seize power and invade neighboring territories as a 'Strategist' or become a mercenary and sell their services around the land as a 'Free Officer'. Through actions such as earning fame on the battlefield, protecting the people or looking to expand their own personal wealth and power, the choices made during the strategy and battle phases have an impact on the character's position and allow for an even wider variety of personalised play styles.
This high-degree of choice is accompanied by a newly revamped Edit Mode, including weapon animation, personality, facial features and more, so that players can create their own unique characters and throw them into battle.
These characters can then be shared online for others to download and incorporate in their own game. Edited characters also include their creator's play history with that character, so the play style is carried over, allowing for a simulated multiplayer experience.
Keeping true to the Dynasty Warriors historical legacy, Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires introduces a new playable character, Xu Shu, an advisor of the warlord Liu Bei and bringing the total number of playable characters to 66.
As the 'Empires' series is known for its extended tactical action elements, it offers a wide variety of tactics known as Stratagems, from ones that affect the terrain (such as Flood Attacks and Rockslides), to Volleys that can rain arrows down on the enemy, or even ones that can increase characters' individual abilities. Knowing when to utilise these powerful tools based on the terrain or specific conditions, as well as knowing how to respond to stratagems used by the enemy will play an important part in the success of a battle, adding an even deeper layer of strategy to the gameplay.

PHOENIX (AP) Martin Prado joked that he had better be careful or he'll get a reputation as a hothead.
The Arizona third baseman was ejected for the first time in his 933 big league games in the Diamondbacks' 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
''I was trying to make it to a thousand,'' he said. ''I came up short.''
Manager Kirk Gibson was also tossed after he came out to argue following Prado's ejection.
''Prad's not a hothead,'' Gibson said. ''He said something I guess the home plate umpire didn't like.''
Paul Goldschmidt homered and Didi Gregorius had a pair of RBI singles for Arizona. Anthony Rizzo homered twice for the Cubs.
Rizzo moved into a tie with Miami's Giancarlo Stanton for the NL home run lead at 22 with his sixth career multi-homer game, second this season. He homered twice at Milwaukee on May 31.
Eury De La Rosa (1-0) gave up a run in one inning and got the win. Brian Schlitter (2-3) allowed a run in two-thirds of an inning for the loss.
Prado was thrown out when he said something as he ran past plate umpire Cory Blaser after grounding out in the eighth. He had to be restrained by teammates after he was tossed.
''It's part of the game. There's a lot of emotions,'' Prado said. ''I think I just overreacted, but the most important thing is we won the game. Guys were messing with me and said `You have to get ejected every day.'''
Catcher Miguel Montero's throwing error put a runner on third with one out in the ninth, but Addison Reed got out of it, getting Ryan Sweeney to pop out and fanning Welington Castillo for his 22nd save in 27 chances.
The Diamondbacks' Trevor Cahill, in his first start since April 13, allowed three runs on four hits in five innings.
The left-handed batting Gregorius, 2 for 20 against lefties this season to that point, singled off left-hander Zac Rosscup to bring home what proved to be the deciding run in Arizona's three-run sixth.
''The at-bat of the game,'' Prado said.
Rizzo hit a two-run homer off Cahill far over the swimming pool area in right field in Chicago's three-run fourth. He added a booming solo shot to center off De La Rosa in the sixth.
The last player voted by fans onto the NL squad at the All-Star game, Rizzo is one homer shy of his total for last season.
''That is cool,'' he said. '' ... You want to keep on having good at-bats, not trying to hit home runs, just trying to hit the ball hard. `'
Ender Enciarte, just in the game as a defensive replacement in center, ran down Rizzo's shot to deep left-center in the eighth. Gibson said David Peralta, shifted from center to left, probably wouldn't have had the speed to get to the ball.
Goldschmidt's 17th home run was an opposite-field solo shot that barely cleared the fence in right and ended the night for Cubs starter Edwin Jackson.
Cubs manager Rick Renteria said Jackson ''kept us in the ballgame and Rizz had an All-Star night, two homers.
''We didn't get a whole lot more after that, but even in the end we had a chance, but weren't able to get that tying run in there,'' Renteria added.
Cahill was demoted from the rotation to the bullpen after going 0-4 with a 9.17 ERA in his first four starts. The right-hander was designated for assignment on June 9, making one start for Class A Visalia and six for Triple-A Reno.
''It felt good,'' he said. ''I'm competing at the highest level, starting, which I've done my whole life. It was fun to be back out there and know I had the ball for as far as I could go.''
Notes: Arismendy Alcantara, in his sixth game since being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, stole second twice. ... In the second game of the series Saturday night, the Cubs send Travis Wood (7-8, 4.96 ERA) to the mound against the Diamondbacks' Wade Miley (5-6, 4.18).

It's been an unusual year for whooping cranes in Texas and the endangered species' spring migration is the latest example.
Researchers report several whooping crane families initiated their spring migration nearly a month earlier than usual, with some birds having already reached South Dakota, according to a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) news release.
Texans are asked to report sightings of these large white birds as they progress along their migration route northward from the coast through Central Texas and the Wichita Falls area.
After a winter distribution that surprised biologists and kept birders enchanted with unprecedented sighting opportunities for one of North America's most ancient bird species, the unusually early start of the migration to nesting grounds in Canada does not surprise TPWD biologist Lee Ann Linam.
"This winter seemed to produce a 'perfect storm' of mild winter weather, reduced food sources on the Texas coast, and crowding in an expanding whooping crane population, which led whooping cranes to explore new wintering areas," Linam said.
"Those same conditions have likely provided the impetus for an early start of their 1500-mile spring migration."
Texas provides wintering habitat for the only self-sustaining population of whooping cranes in the world. Traditionally, whooping cranes spend December through March in coastal wetlands on and near Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, between Rockport and Port Lavaca.
In recent years whoopers have slowly expanded their winter range—usually using coastal marshlands adjacent to already occupied areas.
However, in 2011-12 whoopers made significant expansions southward and westward of Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, and one whooping crane apparently spent the winter with sandhill cranes in upland habitats near El Campo.
Even more significantly, nine whooping cranes, including six adults and three chicks, spent most of the winter near Granger Lake in Central Texas, and one family group of whooping cranes only traveled as far south as Kansas before heading back north to spend most of the winter in Nebraska.
The unprecedented shifts may be indicators of both bad news and good news for the Texas flock, which is thought to now number about 300 birds, according to Linam.
"We are concerned about the health of our coastal estuaries and long-term declines in blue crabs, one of the traditional primary food sources for this population of whooping cranes," she said.
"At the same time, these cranes seem to be showing adaptability as the increasing population may be causing crowding in traditional habitats and drought may be producing less than ideal habitat conditions. I think it's a good sign that whooping cranes are exploring and thriving in new wintering areas."
This winter, birders and wildlife watchers in Texas have helped the state track some of the movements of whooping cranes, and Linam is asking Texans to be on the lookout for whoopers during the spring migration, which may extend through mid-April in Texas.
Whooping cranes are the tallest birds in North America, standing nearly five feet tall. They are solid white in color except for black wing-tips that are visible only in flight. They fly with necks and legs outstretched. During migration they often pause overnight to use wetlands for roosting and agricultural fields for feeding, but seldom remain more than one night.
They nearly always migrate in small groups of less than 4-5 birds, but they may be seen roosting and feeding with large flocks of the smaller and darker sandhill crane.
Anyone sighting a whooping crane can help by reporting it to TPWD at 1-800-792-1112 x4644 or 1-512-656-1222.
Observers are asked especially to note whether the cranes have colored leg bands on their legs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The UMKC women's basketball team received seven signed National Letters of Intent on the first day of the early signing period. With seven seniors set to exhaust their eligibility for the Roos following the 2017-18 season, it was imperative for the team to get capitalize on the 2018 recruiting class and they did just that by bringing in a formidable group of seven student athletes.
The group of seven student athletes – including Claire Lock (Kansas City, Mo.), Breanna Beck (Chicago, Ill.), Brooke Hampel (Huntsville, Ala.), Marissa Metz (Downer's Grove, Ill.), Leilah Vigil (Denver, Colo.), Jonaie Johnson (Chicago, Ill.), Emily Ivory (Davenport, Iowa) – come together to form an impressive recruiting haul for head coach Jacie Hoyt in her first recruiting class at UMKC.
"This class was incredibly important for my staff and I in bringing in the right pieces", noted Hoyt. "Not only is it a very large recruiting class, but it is special because it is our first signing class and the group that we are laying our foundation of the future with."
Lock, the daughter of former Mizzou offensive lineman Andy Lock and sister of current Mizzou quarterback Drew Lock, is a standout guard for Lee's Summit High School and the AAU team MO Phenom. The 5-9 guard has been an excellent scorer, averaging 14.3 points per game in leading her Lee's Summit squad to the state tournament semi-finals. The Kansas City product has been a yearly figure on postseason award lists, earning All-Conference honors the past two seasons and was selected to the All-State First-Team a season ago. Lock has been tremendous in the classroom as well, landing on the Principal's Honor Roll the past four years.
Beck, a 5-8 point guard from Whitney Young High School in Chicago, was honored with a slew of awards following her junior season. After leading the team in assists, averaging an impressive five per game along with 12.3 points and five rebounds per game, Beck earned All-City, All-District and All-Conference honors. Beck has played in AAU competition for Mac Irvin Lady Fire for the past seven years. Her sister, Katrina Beck, is a junior guard for the Illinois State women's basketball team. Beck has been terrific in the classroom as well as on the court, a member of National Honors Society for the past three years.
A 5-10 guard/forward from Huntsville, Ala., Hampel brings a unique mix of athleticism and skill to the UMKC program. She helped lead her Hazel Green High School record to a remarkable 32-2 record and state runner-up finish in her junior season, averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds and four assists on the year while racking up numerous postseason honors including All-State First-Team, USA Today Alabama First-Team and a Mrs. Basketball finalist in Alabama. In addition to her success on the basketball court, Hampel was a standout member of the track team at Hazel Green, qualifying for state in both long jump and 400 meter events. Hampel has also excelled in her academic study as a member of the National Association of High School Scholars and National Honor Society, while landing on the school honor roll from 2014-2017.
Metz, a 6-2 forward from Nazareth Academy, gives the Roos another player with quality length and versatility. Metz competes in the AAU circuit with the Midwest Elite where her team qualified for the 15U EYBL National Tournament and she was selected to the All-Tournament Team. A High Honor Roll member at Nazareth Academy, Metz plans to study pre-medicine at UMKC.
Vigil adds another valuable post presence for the Roos. The 5-10 forward from Grandview High School (CO) helped lead her team to a Colorado 5A State Championship last season and three consecutive Centennial Conference Championships. Last season, Vigil averaged 13.8 points per game while also grabbing an impressive 8.6 rebounds and nearly two assists per game. She has played AAU ball with Team Fusion the past two years. Vigil earned her high school's academic honor, the Falcon Award, last year recognizing her quality work in the classroom.
Johnson is the second Chicago, Ill., native in the 2018 class. The 5-9 point guard has been a key piece on her Kenwood Academy team over the past two seasons, earning All-Conference honors in both her sophomore and junior years. She accounted for 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and two assists per game last season, guiding her team to a sectional semi-final appearance. Johnson has played in AAU competition for Chicago Hoops Express for six years. She has been very involved in extra-curricular programs at Kenwood Academy, serving as the Senior Class Treasurer and a freshman mentor, in addition to earning Top 10 academic honors at the school all four years.
Ivory, a 5-5 guard from Bettendorf, Iowa, provides the Roos another scoring threat. She played in AAU competition with All Iowa Attack for three years before playing last year with Lady Pure Prep. A starter the past two seasons for Bettendorf High School, Ivory averaged 16.2 points and 3 rebounds per game in her junior season. She was selected as First-Team All-Conference each of the past two seasons while earning Third-Team All-State a year ago. A true threat from beyond the arc, Ivory currently holds the school record for three-pointers made in a game (8), season (69) and career (90).
"We narrowed our focus on players that we felt like were talented and skilled, but more importantly high character and high achieving kids," said Hoyt. "We wanted players that love to work and hate to lose. Each of them come in with their own unique skill set, but also a shared vision of accomplishing things at UMKC that have never been accomplished. My staff and I are thrilled to coach this special group of players."
The Roos open up the 2017-18 regular season tonight with a road game at Western Illinois at 7:30 p.m. CT. The contest will be broadcast on ESPN3 and will have Live Stats available.

Lionel Messi's soaring career at the club that has coached him since he was an under-sized teenage prodigy is set to continue for at least another five years.
Messi agreed on Tuesday to extend his contract with Barcelona by two years to 2018.
The Argentine forward began his career at Newell's Old Boys, where he played for five years until 2000, when he made the journey to Spain to join Barcelona's youth team, aged 13. He played for the first time in the senior squad at 16, in a friendly against Porto.
Teammates and World Cup winners Xavi Hernandez and Carles Puyol also agreed to new deals with the Catalan club.
"This news means that FC Barcelona has secured its ties with three of its most important players,'' the club said in a statement, adding the contracts would be signed "over the course of the next few weeks.''
Club spokesman Toni Freixa said, "It was a very important matter for us all, but there was no problem when we came to negotiate and agree.''
Messi is the heavy favorite to collect an unprecedented fourth successive world player of the year award. He has 90 goals in 2012, having surpassed Gerd Mueller's 40-year-old milestone of 85 in a calendar year, and there is still one game to go this month to improve on his astonishing tally.
His contract with Barcelona wasn't due to expire until June 30, 2016, but he's agreed to stretch his commitment to the club to June 30, 2018. Puyol and Xavi will extend theirs to June 2016.
Relying on Messi's uncanny ability to puncture defenses, Barcelona remained in contention for three trophies; the Spanish league, Champions League and Copa del Rey.
On Sunday, his 22nd double of 2012, and sixth in six games, helped to beat Atletico Madrid 4-1, Barcelona's closest rival in the Spanish league.
Barcelona has attained a league record start of 15 victories in 16 rounds, and leads by nine points.
Puyol, the 34-year-old captain, had said he wanted to continue his professional career until he's 40, although he said he didn't want to "have to drag myself onto the field.''
Although the defender joined Barcelona's youth team in 1995, he didn't debut with the first squad until October 1999, under coach Louis Van Gaal.
Central midfielder Xavi, 32, who has spent all of his professional career at Barcelona and is considered one of the game's most talented passers of the ball, first joined the youth club in July 1991 when he was 11.

A hunting road trip with my dogs
Jumped in the truck with the dogs and went on a walkabout earlier this month.
Wild Quail hunting upland coastal prairie on a WMA, Dash on points. Not a lot of covies found due to sheet water, warm weather, and on day two we had lots of wind. But the covies we did find were big.
Bonus bird in the mix
Uh Oh, Don't think we will let the dogs drink there. Dern warm weather had them out sunning.

With few trees to run into, Blaze who is blind, got to have her fun too.
Traveling like a Gypsy out of my truck I was fortunate in that some waterfowler friends also hunting in the area had rented a house nearby and gave me an invite. Well not really nearby, but in that country two hours is nearby and better than sleeping in my truck.
I did get to make one hunt with the guys on the bay. Having just rolled in from Quail hunting before jumping on the boat. I am still in green.
Old school decoys
Here is what I saw the morning of my quail hunt, followed by flights of cranes and other geese. Knowing what direction the big birds where leaving the roost pond back at the WMA I had to go back and give them a try.
Rare coastal Canadas leaving the roost.
I could have easily shot a limit of ducks, but did not want to turn my big bird flights. Pass shooting can sure be exciting in the right circumstances.
Young Dash learning how to sit still and not break on the big birds.
A couple kayaking friends texted me directions as they were putting decoys out on the bay at a place they scouted for access. So after my morning hunt I headed that way and launched the yak to join them.
I could not help but stop to take a picture of this dead soldier.

The regatta.
Divers is what it was about.
Divers taking a pounding.
Wake me when y'all are ready to leave.
Friends headed north, I went back to sleeping in my truck to go after the big birds again.
Dash with his first Duck retrieve.
But big birds are what I came for.
I ended the morning hunt early so I could make it to one of the National Forests for some Woodcock hunting in before Dark.

Poor Blaze was not happy. A forest full of trees to run into is no place for a blind dog.
Hunted two different areas known for having woodcock including one area a forest ranger had been seeing them days before.
Again no woodcock found. At least that I know of. Unusual for a Vizsla, Dash ranges out of sight often. He sure had fun. He is the wind when he runs.
What I did find was a super secret beaver pond and flooded timber are deep within the forest that was loaded with wood ducks. At least that is what I thought until I looked at the ground.
I ended my road trip hunting that pond with Miss Blaze before heading home. She may be blind, but she can still retrieve just fine on small water.

Amazing photos, and a great thread after all the negativity around here lately.
Makes me miss my old, blind springer, Maggie, who I lost several years ago.
This is Max, in his second year of mayhem and madness with his first rooster of the year this past fall.
Anybody who loves their dogs is a friend of mine. Thank you!

Thanks guys, After having owned some hunting dogs in the past that I realized I did not have a single picture of, I now take a camera with me on every hunt I do.
Hey bird dog,
Max is a great looking dog. He sure looks happy about that pheasant!

Nice story, couillon, thanks. I just lost my old Brittany this year, and man do I miss her. Nothing better than a hunting road trip.
BTW, you guys have got some big bullfrogs down there.
Never try to educate someone who resists knowledge at all costs.

The Village Sintra
Charming B&B Casa Miradouro is located within 700 metres of the National Palace, Casa Miradouro Hotel provides an excellent base to visit the historic monuments of Sintra as well as its beautiful parks and the outstanding new museum of contemporary art with the Berardo collection created after World War II. It is considered one of the most important on the Iberian Peninsula.
Lovers of music can enjoy the chamber music and ballet festivals in June/July.
Casa Miradouro is situated still within the Historic centre of Sintra about 6 - 7 minutes walking from the Royal Palace, the shops and restaurants, but in a quiet location.
The view is fantastic, on one side towards the Atlantic on the other side towards Pena Palace and the Moorish Castle nestled on top of the mountain, within a beautiful lush green park and forest and towards the romantic and mystic Quinta da Regaleira.

Five Questions: Bruins' Iginla set to chase elusive Cupby Dan Rosen
Jarome Iginla won't dare talk about it yet, not before playing his first game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Boston Bruins, but he knows his best shot to win a championship might be right now, this spring, with the deepest team he's ever played for.
The Bruins are the Presidents' Trophy winners. They have the ability to roll four lines and three defense pairs in front of a potential Vezina Trophy winner in Tuukka Rask. They also have a potential Selke Trophy finalist in Patrice Bergeron and former Norris Trophy winner Zdeno Chara, who might be in line to win it again.
Nine players on the Bruins scored at least 40 points. Iginla and Bergeron led the team with 30 goals each. David Krejci had 50 assists. Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand and Reilly Smith scored at least 20 goals.
"I think we've got a really good team and a really good shot," Iginla told NHL.com. "I understand playing and watching over the years that you've gotta get some good breaks, but with this group we're going to work hard and there is a lot of experience, guys who have won before and have been close. There are a few of us new guys who haven't, so we're hungry too."
Iginla knows Boston is a popular pick among pundits everywhere, and that if the Bruins do win the Cup, Chara will likely hand the trophy to him after taking it out of the hands of NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
He laughs nervously when that scenario is brought up.
"I've tried to keep myself from thinking about the big picture, because it doesn't help if you don't and you want to enjoy the ride too," Iginla said.
The ride starts Friday in Game 1 against the Detroit Red Wings at TD Garden (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN). Iginla spent 15 minutes on the phone Monday talking about the journey he's experienced so far in Boston.
Here are Five Questions with … Jarome Iginla:
Can you compare this Bruins team that you're on now with some of the other teams you've played for? Is it the best team you've been on? Is it one of the best teams you've been on? How do you measure it? Has anything surprised you?
"I think we're still writing that story. I think we're a really good team. It's definitely one of the best I've ever played on. It's one of the deepest as far as the depth at all the different positions. I think that it's definitely one of the most competitive groups of guys that I have played with.
"Before I got here I knew they were a very hard group to play against, but when you get here and you see it daily, I shouldn't say it doesn't surprise me because of how focused the guys are when they come to the rink and when it's time to be on, but maybe I'm pleasantly surprised. I did expect a lot, but it's good to see it up close, the whole group of guys, the group of leaders that really share in it. It's almost like everybody just does it. Chara, Bergie, Tuukka, Thorty [Shawn Thornton], [Gregory] Campbell, [Chris] Kelly, Looch (Lucic), Krejci -- the list goes on and on. They have built that culture of hard work to go along with the skill here. You can tell for years they've had a lot of really good habits."
I don't know if you necessarily needed a refresh or a restart after how everything went down at the end of your tenure with the Calgary Flames, the trade situation last season and losing in the playoffs last year, but has playing for this team rejuvenated you in any way?
"I would say the last couple of years have been pretty tough emotionally, and when I say tough I don't mean really tough because I know it's hockey, it's the NHL and it's still fun, but it's just about realizing things. In Calgary, we weren't getting it done and for the last couple of years it was about are we going to be rebuilding, or are we not? Am I going to be moving, or am I not? It was a lot of those things and the uncertainty, it gets to you a little bit. You try to stay focused, but it's nice when you don't have to worry about those things. A lot of guys do have to in their career and it was my turn to go through it last year, but it's the uncertainty that's tough. It's the uncertainty away from the ice too. I really did enjoy playing in Calgary and living there, but I wanted to win too. It was really nice this year to come and be settled at the beginning of the season, to get the kids in school, get training camp underway with the group and just know that I had that behind me. You have the fear of the unknown because you're not sure how it's going to be, but my wife has enjoyed Boston and my kids have loved their school and hockey here. It's been great. It's been fun winning too."
I wasn't going to go there yet, but it's a perfect segue to your answer. You've had such success this season playing on a line with Krejci and Lucic. You seem to have so much chemistry, and they will likely be back in Boston next season. It begs the question: Do you want to stay? Have you had those conversations with your family?
"Oh yeah, for sure we discuss what things are possible in the future and what we see. We've really enjoyed it here, there's no question. There is a nice mix of older guys and guys who are still young and coming into their prime. I think the Bruins are going to be a very competitive team for a while. It's been a lot of fun playing here. My family has really enjoyed it. We hope it works out that we can stay, but at the same time we know a lot of that is based on how things go in the playoffs. At the end of the year, teams always have tough decisions to make as far as trying to balance it now and think about the future. Still, a lot of it is out of our control and at this point in time, and during the regular season I was just trying to focus on playing and not worrying about it. Going through the last couple of years, I'm getting better at doing that. It's the NHL and however many years more I play, they're going to go quick and it's been a great experience this year and a lot of fun winning. I hope that it works out and I would love to be back, but I know there are so many things that go into it that are out of my control, so I just try to focus on playing and keep trying to win."
"I don't know. The long part of it is last year was a shortened year and it was actually going alright in Pittsburgh until we ran into the last series against the Bruins, and that's what everybody remembers. Yeah, it was a tough series. Yeah, I had a tough four games and we had a tough four games as a team. But I wasn't doubting whether or not I could play, it was just a tough stretch. But that's part of getting older. You always have to prove it.
"But even over the course of my career, and I think a lot of hockey players would agree, you're always trying to prove something. That's kind of what keeps you going, keeps you sharp. If you're a young guy and you just had a great first season, you're trying to follow it up and show it wasn't just a fluke. As you get older, you're trying to prove you can still contribute at a high clip to be counted on. There's always something, a little extra motivation. As far as myself, there's guys who are quite a bit older than me in the League and doing very well, so I like that part of it. I hope to play for longer still and hope to do well."
Your line has been together since Day 1, and that usually never happens because of how coaches tinker today. But Claude Julien hasn't had to tinker at all because the line has been so good. Why has it worked, and can you go back into your memory bank to come up with if and when you have experienced something like this before?
"It's definitely rare to be on the same line all year. The only one I can remember is the year I won the scoring title (2001-02) playing with Craig Conroy and Dean McAmmond, we had good chemistry and I don't even know if we played all year together. We have literally played all year together here, and I've never been through that right from training camp. It's been fun.
"There have been different times when we've gone through stretches where maybe we didn't feel we were as good as we could be and had to work on some stuff, but it's been good, especially being the new guy on the line working through it with the guys to build that chemistry.
"Claude gave us a chance. I definitely had a slow start, but the line was doing pretty good. Yet you're still wondering if they put someone else in there will he do better? I appreciated the opportunity. I've loved playing with them. They work very hard. They're talented guys. They take a lot of pride in the forecheck. Krejci is a great passer. Lucic doesn't get enough credit for his playmaking ability either because he's such a big and rugged guy, but I've been the beneficiary of some great passes from him this year too. He just keeps getting better and better. He's a quick guy, especially for how big he is. He causes a lot of turnovers."

Lauretta Cvikel has her own problems. On Wednesday, she was knocked over by the explosion at West Fertilizer Plant, noting, "I never thought I'd be able see air move!" For another 20 minutes "that felt like forever" she didn't know the whereabouts of her pre-teen son, Allen, who was eventually found safe.
But as Ms. Cvikel tells her dramatic story, her thoughts suddenly wander eastward and to the North, to a manhunt and citywide lock down in Boston, which ended several hours later. Even as West continued to tally its casualties and homeless residents wandered around in their trucks, she noted, "I can't imagine what people in Boston are going through. We've been praying for them too."
Such reciprocal sympathies toward the end of inarguably the worst week of the year – terror bombs, ricin letters, rural explosions, shootouts and manhunts – also rubbed off on President Obama, who took a few minutes during his remarks on the capture of the Boston bomb suspect to mention the residents of West, Texas, saying, "We've also seen a tight-knit community in Texas devastated by a terrible explosion."
The phenomenon was in many ways natural: Victims of circumstance and tragedy easily empathize with others going through hard times. But it also pointed to a unique sense of national solidarity wrought by chaos and resolved by a sense of hope. "We are only beginning to make sense of a series of events that moved so fast, so furiously as to almost defy attempts to figure them out," explains Jesse Washington of the Washington Post.
Some here in West wondered how CNN's Anderson Cooper could have materialized in Boston only hours after leaving West, but there was little bitterness about the drift in national attention. If anything, residents of central Texas cheered the capture of the surviving bomb suspect because it buoyed their spirits as much as those of the applauding crowds on the streets of Watertown, clapping as police drove through.
Texas State Trooper Bryan Washko toured what he called "war zone" devastation early Friday before setting up a road block into a neighborhood knocked over by the Wednesday night explosion.
But even as the Killeen-based trooper ached for the plight of fellow Texans, he said he'd spent most of his shift listening to NPR's coverage of the Thursday night manhunt and shootout that led to one of the suspects – two Chechen brothers – being killed and the other one, the younger brother, somehow escaping the grasp of police.
While repairing his family's own damaged BBQ joint and listening to stories about who was hurt or killed in West, one burly, goateed resident, using an iPhone police scanner app, followed the Boston manhunt in real-time as police commands out of Watertown echoed across the Internet and into a kitchen in West.
To some, the rise of smart phones and constant contact exacerbated the rough week, pouring endless details, analysis, and opinion into the country's bloodstream. "There's no place to run, no place to hide," Dr. Stuart Fischoff, a media psychologist, observed to the Associated Press. "We're dealing with future shock on a daily basis."
But if newfangled devices and shoot-from-the-hip media excited the masses, it also appeared to solder together at least parts of America's social and class fissures, including the blue-red state divide between rural Texas and urbane Cambridge and Boston. Along with tragedy came stories of hope and heroes, and regular Americans doing their best to help each other, no matter their differences.
Seen one way, the human drama in West was as shattering as that in Boston, with nearly half the city's volunteer fire department killed and scores of others injured and killed. But out here in America's beef-grazing country, the prospects of terror attacks in Boston, a major American city in lockdown, and a successful manhunt understandably inspired equal outpouring of support, prayers, and new ideas of how to reach across geographical and cultural divides.
"I've never been to Boston," one Texan commented, "but now I really want to go. It seems like a cool city."
The two disaster areas shared more direct contact, as well, this week.
As doctors in Waco's Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center attended to dozens of people injured in the West explosion on Wednesday might, a large order of pizzas suddenly appeared. "... from one doc to another, 'Thanks for all your hard work,'" a note said.
The pizzas had been ordered by doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital, who two days earlier had treated many of the Boston Marathon victims.
UPDATE Saturday 5:00 pm
Having rushed out of their homes after the explosion, some in stockinged feet and with just the clothes they wore, residents were allowed on Saturday to begin coming back into the bomb-blasted area.
Frustration had increased as officials responded to a series of small fires near the plant, a result of chemicals spilling out of another tank. But determining the situation "safe, safe, safe," Mayor Pro Tem Steve Vanek announced the return on Saturday afternoon, and residents began to filter in to start cleaning, filing insurance claims, and looking for pets.
As the town prepares a memorial for the 14 residents lost in the conflagration, Mr. Vanek acknowledged that opening the neighborhood up once again for habitation became a major step in the town's recovery.
"It's a big step, but it's also a small step," he said. "We have a ways to go."

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
Transportation professionals are continually challenged with finding improved ways for satisfying the mobility needs of an increasing population. Highway intersections pose particular challenges with regard to safety and mobility as traffic volumes and congestion levels continue to increase. As a result, drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists experience longer delays and greater exposure to safety risks. Today's traffic and safety problems are becoming increasingly more complex, and conventional intersections and interchange designs are sometimes found to be insufficient to mitigate transportation problems. Consequently, many engineers are investigating and implementing innovative treatments in an attempt to alleviate these issues.
This course provides participants with an overview of various non-traditional intersection concepts that may offer advantages compared to conventional at-grade intersections and grade-separated interchanges. The training presents the salient geometric, operational, and safety features associated with the alternative design concepts, and will illustrate how intersections are selected using an analysis tool. It also will identify potential advantages and disadvantages of each design.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Federal, State, and local transportation traffic and safety engineers, and planners involved in improving the performance of intersections.

PORTSMOUTH—After a slow December, the Seacoast residential sales market in the 13 sample Seacoast towns has bounced back with the best January numbers in at least three years, according to the Seacoast Board of REALTORS.
The 13 sample towns are Exeter, Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, New Castle, Newfields, Newington, North Hampton, Newmarket, Portsmouth Rye, Seabrook and Stratham.
Amid a sales environment that some are calling the most affordable time to buy real estate in 40 years, January single family sales were up 9.2% from January 2012 and the median sale price jumped a solid 6.8% from $293,000 to $313,000 from January 2012.
Meanwhile condominium sales continued what has been an uneven recovery over the past several months. Condo sales experienced a second straight month finishing behind the corresponding month from a year before and fell 17.2% from January 2012, with the median sales price slipping 8.53% to $187,500 for the same monthly period.
In 2012, condo sale values actually exceeded the previous 12-month period on seven different occasions.
Inventory levels also drew attention, slipping to the lowest numbers in at least three years and prompting speculation that appreciation on the single family side may be more persistent in 2013.
In light of all that, Seacoast Board of REALTORS President Jim Lee urged buyers 'sitting on the fence' to consider purchasing now instead of waiting.
"When mortgage interest rates start to rise, as they inevitably will, some buyers could be priced out of the market or end up paying more for the same home they could buy today" Lee said. "That's especially true if the anticipated appreciation scenario materializes. Just a 1% interest rate rise could easily add over $175 a month to the monthly payment on a median priced home in the Seacoast."

Havelock�s mayor said he would be running for re-election, but two city commissioners are being noncommittal about their political futures.
Havelock�s mayor said he would be running for re-election, but two city commissioners are being noncommittal about their political futures.
Filing for Havelock�s municipal elections this fall opens on Monday.
Up for grabs in the election is the mayor�s seat as well as two commissioner seats currently held by Will Lewis and Jim Stuart.
Sanders said Monday that he would file for re-election.
"There are a lot of projects going on, and it�s a really important time in Havelock�s history and in our future," Sanders said. "We�ve got the sewer plant. We�ve got the new city hall. We�ve got absolute uncertainty in Washington. I have served on the (Allies for Cherry Point�s Tomorrow) committee for many years and I really would like to have the opportunity to continue to work on those issues.
"Hopefully over the years we have created some excellent working relationships with our congressional delegation, and I just think that it would be helpful if I was still in the mayor�s position. I think I can be helpful, and the voters will let me know in November."
Sanders said he is comfortable in the position of mayor.
"It took me a long time to be comfortable in my skin, but yeah, I�m pretty comfortable with it," he said. "I have lots of relationships that have been developed over the years with other communities across the state. I would like to have the opportunity to do it a little longer."
Sanders won re-election in 2009 by just 13 votes over challenger Chuck Bernard.
Stuart said he was leaning against another run as commissioner. Stuart, who has served for eight consecutive years, said he believed in term limits for city board members.
"I would say I am very much undecided right now, but I�m leaning towards no," Stuart said in an email to the Havelock News. "I think eight years is enough for anybody and that�s why I am considering not running.
"If an individual is still passionate about serving after a lengthy tenure, lay out for two years and then run again."
Stuart hinted that he may be interested in being a Craven County Commissioner in the future.
"The latter does not rule out a county commissioner run in the future," he said. "I think term limits should apply to them as well and certainly don�t think it healthy for the system that someone runs unopposed."
Lewis, a board member for eight years, said he was undecided about running for a third term as commissioner.
"I kind of go back and forth," he said. "One day I think that I�m doing something good and I can keep at it and other days it can be such a frustrating process that sometimes I think it would be nice not to have to worry about it all."
Lewis recently closed his contracting business to stay at home with his twin 4-year-old girls. He said not running would allow him more time with his family and open the door for someone new on the board.
"It makes it a little bit easier for someone to get on the board if they don�t have to defeat someone to get on," he said.
Election filing is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Monday at the Board of Elections Office in the Craven County Administrative Building at 406 Craven St., in New Bern. The filing period closes at noon on July 19.
Prospective candidates must pay a $5 cash filing fee. Candidates are required to complete a notice of candidacy and organize their committees. They have to be registered to vote and have to live in the district in which they file for office.
Havelock�s city election is scheduled for Nov. 5. The voter registration deadline is Oct. 11.
For more information, call the elections board at 636-6610.

In last week's column, I opened a window to the glamorous life of traveling alone and offered a few tips to keep the voices in your head from shouting down your sanity.
Of course, most vacationers don't go it alone. Even the single among us can take along a beloved pet, in the spirit of John Steinbeck's "Travels With Charley," a fine book for a road trip, by the way.
Steinbeck focused on the spiritual side of the journey, but if you're traveling with a pet, there are practical issues to keep in mind. It's hot on the summer highway and four-legged friends need food, water and a good stretch as much as their human companions.
Here are tips to prepare for a smooth...

Equine Hydration Pellets by Tech Mix is an awesome supplement for this exact situation. This supplement is a tasty, buffered electrolyte hydration pellet with multiple vitamins and energizing agents in it. It will help maintain fluid balance to prevent dehydration in hot weather or times of stress. Its highly palatable formula provides electrolyte replenishment and encourages feed and water intake. Feeding this supplement to your horse 2 ounces daily before the dehydration has the chance to kick in, your horse will make it through the summer heat without any issues (dehydration issues that is). However, if you don't get on top of the dehydration as quickly as you would have liked, top-dressing 4-8 ounces daily should help the horse tremendously. I would highly recommend these pellets to anyone who is having the same issues as we are with our horses, too hot to eat and drink so they are losing weight. :(
There's the age old saying: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Boy does that hit the nail on the head! Rhonda

Army of Darkness (UK - BD RB)
Marcus Doidge says 'Hello Mr Fancy Pants' to Army of Darkness on Blu-ray
At the end of Evil Dead II, we'd left Ash stranded in the middle ages after being sucked into a time vortex. Army of Darkness picks up right where we left off.
After a brief recount from Ash (Bruce Campbell) about what had happened before he wound up in shackles, we find Ash has been captured by the group of knights who greeted him upon his arrival in the past. After reaching the knights' castle, Ash finds himself lumped in with Duke Henry's men (the opposing side to the knights who have captured him). Ash is thrown into 'the pit' and soon faces off with a 'Deadite' or two, before revealing himself as someone the primitives don't want to mess with, especially once he gets his 'boomstick' and chainsaw to hammer the message home.
With the primitives believing Ash must be the much prophesized 'one who shall deliver mankind from the terror of the Deadites' he soon takes advantage of his situation and works out a deal. If Ash recovers the Necronomicon (Book of the dead) for the local priest, which we are told can stop the Deadites, he'll send Ash back to his own time. So Ash set's off, gets the book and goofily brings about the rising dead from their graves and enables the Deadites to form the Army of Darkness, which is led by Ash's rotting doppelganger, Evil Ash.
If you've read my recent review for Evil Dead II, you may recall that I'd said that I hadn't seen any of the Evil Dead movies in a long time. When I re-watched Evil Dead II, I couldn't quite work out why it had been so long. Watching Army of Darkness again reminded me why I hadn't been inclined to revisit Ash for so long.
Now before I go any further, I just want to make it clear that I don't dislike Army of Darkness, but at the same time, there's nothing about it that I can say I have any affection for, outside of the fact it has Bruce Campbell as Ash in it. I was excited as anyone at the end of Evil Dead II when Ash got vortexed back in time. The setting, the hints at him being a chosen one, the possibilities were endless. Will Ash get to face off with the nasties on their own turf? Is this going to come down to Ash versus the ultimate evil dead offerings? How much bigger could this get? Well, when I first saw Army of Darkness and re-watching it again on Blu-ray I just came away disappointed and underwhelmed (very much like my feelings for the third instalment of another Raimi trilogy).
For me, it just doesn't have the magic of Evil Dead II. It has a solid opening twenty minutes where we're thrown in at the deep end, finding out what's going on with these knights and their pit. There's an okay fight with Ash and some Deadites and the moment when Ash takes control of the whole situation is one of his character's finest moments and pretty much secures his place in movie history but then it just becomes a series of events that just don't quite deliver.
This really becomes apparent in the windmill scene, or the mini Evil Dead movie that Raimi obviously threw in to add some connection to the previous instalments. We have Ash, locked in a room with the evil and as expected the hi-jinks begin to occur on what at first seems to be Evil Dead II insanity levels. It's still Raimi's fast edits and quick firing events but there's something about it that just feels a little sluggish or forced and it feels as if they are struggling to once again capture lightning in a bottle. They're trying too much to entertain in the same way the previous movie and in doing so, this instalment loses its charm. This leads on to the introduction of Evil Ash, which is a nice touch and the moments with the three Necronomicon books are a lot of fun, but it's at about this point where Army of Darkness loses me.
The whole Army of the Dead thing, led by Evil Ash, and the whole storming of the castle feels like a missed opportunity. It's so conventional and straight forward and despite the fact one side of this battle is made up of skeletons it just doesn't feel exciting enough. In fact, it feels flat and limited. We've seen a full on evil attack in Evil Dead II, and that was against one guy in a cabin and was kinetic, crazy, demonic and exciting, which is the polar opposite of the Army of Darkness events. The bad guys here are fun but only a little. The skeletons have some personality, but it's not like they're memorable and Evil Ash is so unexplored and forgettable.
As for good Ash, however cool Bruce Campbell is and however great a character he makes Ash, I have to say in these closing scenes he's not what he was. I really don't like the confidence and the back flipping and the overly cool 'hero' moments he has. I liked Evil Dead Ash. The totally out of his depth Ash, the fighting to survive and getting his ass handed to him Ash. The madcap, going insane Ash. Unfortunately, for me, this take on Ash just seems far too knowing of what the audience might want from him, rather than just letting Ash be Ash.
Thankfully, it just about goes out on a high. When we finally come back to Ash's time to wrap things up. This I like. Ash in a supermarket, being attacked by a Deadite. Now this is the Ash I'd have liked to see more of. It's a nice little mini movie, that really screams for more crazy but was still a nice way to leave the could-have-been-King and is obviously a fond romanticized goodbye to the franchise (for now).
I can't express exactly how shockingly impressive the opening twenty minutes of this Blu-ray release were. I came out of Evil Dead II pleasantly surprised and even impressed by the changes an HD transfer can make, but here it was in a whole other league.
The opening scenes at the castle are almost impossibly good. The sunlight makes everything look so clean. The image is incredibly sharp, with a high amount of detail for everything on screen. The gravel and dirt at the characters' feet instantly draws attention to itself but then you notice the textures of the clothes or the knights' armour and the skin tones lit by that sunlight... I was mesmerized by how impressive this image actually was, especially compared to my memory of the movie from the video days.
One thing that really did blow me away was the dirt on the camera lens, you notice it immediately and weirdly because of it, you realise just how good this picture is. You have a real sense that there is a sheet of glass between you and what's being filmed. You can almost feel the distance between the lens and what it's filming and how realistic it all is. This really highlights the glory of HD. All this excitement over a little movie goof. Who knew a mistake could show off a transfer so well?
Then, just as you are comfortable with how striking this clean up is, we cut to an interior shot and it all goes to hell. The image is fuzzy, grainy and a frankly a mess. My wife actually commented that it feels like they are about to pull back a sheet of gauze between us and Ash to reveal the superior image from before but sadly that rescue never comes.
From here on in, the video just remain erratic. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it really isn't. Sometimes it's even both. The shots where Ash is talking to Evil Ash are a prime example because one Ash is glowing in HD and the other is in almost SD because of the special effect technique. It was actually quite entertaining in a distracting sort of a way.
Pretty non eventful really. The DTS-HD Master Audio is clear and strong but never does anything to impress. It struck me as quite a balanced mix with no overpowering bass or any particular area that stuck out in either the front or rear speakers. It just does what it does and really is a standard surround mix on all fronts.
The extras here are about as shambolic as they come. Outside of the trailer (01.57) and the four deleted scenes (13:00), which are in fairly acceptable condition considering what they are, you get the 'Directors Cut' (01:35:00). It's not how you'd expect it on a Blu-ray release through. It's listed as standard definition, but in actual fact it looks like a copy someone unearthed from a video that they found whilst digging in the garden. There's nothing 'standard' about the definition here and outside of having it to compare to HD and to actually have the director's cut to spot the differences, it just seems a weird inclusion (even more so when they'll more than likely squeeze out a standalone directors cut Blu-ray at some stage).
What's even weirder is the fact that the commentary from Sam and Bruce doesn't come with the edition that's presented in HD, it's for the 'Standard Definition Directors Cut', so if you wanted to listen to this fun, enjoyable commentary on your super spangled, next generation Blu-ray player you'll have to do it in the worst possible way, which is just going to put a lot of folks off.
I want to re-emphasize at this point, that I don't dislike Army of Darkness, despite a lot of my negative criticisms in my review. After a long time of not re-visiting Ash in his medieval adventure I'm almost sad to say my indifference to this third chapter hasn't changed at all.
The Blu-ray itself is a mixed bag that goes from being insanely impressive to just doing its job and a bizarre illusion of extras. Fans might want to snap this one up but as I said in my Evil Dead II review, you may want to hold off for the next attempt in the long line of re-releases that Army of Darkness has a history of, to see if they can do any better next time.
