Throughout my life I've loved to swim. I remember having a couple of lessons at school when I was @10 but in essence taught myself one summer whilst staying with an Aunt who had a pool in the garden!
I became a qualified lifesaver whilst I was studying for my A' Levels, and had a part time job working at the local leisure centre. I must have been in the pool 5 days out of 7.
When Master P was growing up, we always went swimming at the weekends and Little Miss H is carrying on the family love of water by training with our local club - Didcot Barramundi SC - she's a fab little breaststroker!
Over the last couple of years I have taken part in the annual Swimathon. In 2012 and 2013 I completed 2.5k (100 lengths) but this year I decided to push myself and up the distance to 5k.
My goal was to cover the 200 lengths in 2 hours - as I could swim 100 comfortably in an hour during training. It was an early start on the day as I needed to be in the pool at 7am, but with Mr D, Little Miss H and Sister T cheering me on I was overjoyed to finish in 1:58.55!!!!
Today was really the first time I had been back in the pool since then, so I decided that I would ease myself back into training by just swimming 60 lengths (1.5k). Oh My Word!! I was fine until I got to about 40, and then my arms seemed to turn to lead and I virtually was going nowhere with every stroke. Luckily it eased off a bit and I managed to complete all the lengths but it has made me realise how easily all that upper body fitness has worn off so I need to make an effort to get at least 1 weekly training session in the diary.

'Museum,' 'Happyness,' 'Dreamgirls' boost b.o.
EmptyThanks to a plethora of feel-good films, the final weekend of 2006 was a victorious one at the boxoffice. Strong performances from 20th Century Fox's "Night at the Museum," Sony Pictures' "The Pursuit of Happyness" and Paramount Pictures' "Dreamgirls," which is now a bona fide hit thanks to a stellar frame, helped the final holiday weekend of the year beat out 2005 by an estimated 12%.
"Museum" topped the weekend for a second consecutive frame, earning $48.2 million during the four days, according to Tuesday's final figures. The two-week-old movie, starring Ben Stiller and directed by Shawn Levy, has grossed $127.3 million.
"Happyness," starring Will Smith and directed by Gabriele Muccino, also is holding remarkably well. The film opened in the top spot three weekends ago and has held onto second place for the past two frames, topping more than $100 million.
"Dreamgirls," director Bill Condon's adaptation of the Broadway musical from DreamWorks, also has proven to be a success. After a weekend of special engagements and a Christmas Day expansion that saw a one-day take of $8.7 million, the movie's first full wide weekend in theaters garnered a per-screen average of $21,578 for a four-day total of $18.4 million and a cume of $41.3 million, good for a third-place finish overall. After several boxoffice failures such as "Rent" and "The Producers," "Dreamgirls" marks the first musical hit since 2002's "Chicago," which won the Oscar for best picture.
"This is a bigger weekend then 'Chicago' had at any point in its run," said Rob Moore, Paramount's worldwide marketing and distribution president, who pointed to 'Chicago's' highest-grossing weekend of $12.9 million, when it was in more than 2,200 theaters. "The combination of the cast Condon put together and the universal story has really captured people's imagination. It's working everywhere in the country."
Paramount will expand the Beyonce Knowles starrer Jan. 12 to about 1,800 theaters.
No new wide releases hit the boxoffice during the weekend, which gave holdovers more of an opportunity to stretch their market reach and lure in as many holiday customers as possible. Overall, it seemed to work: Only MGM's "Rocky Balboa" lost revenue compared with its opening weekend. Still, the underdog story from Sylvester Stallone has earned $51.1 million since it bowed Dec. 20, surprising all who had predicted that the picture would meet resistance because of the 16-year hiatus since "Rocky 5," considered a critical and boxoffice flop.
All other films in the top 10 gained in ticket sales compared with the previous frame, when Christmas Eve and Christmas Day activities competed for the attention of moviegoing audiences. Paramount's "Charlotte's Web" rose a much-needed 51% over the last frame -- the highest percentage increase of any of the top 10, "Dreamgirls" excepted, and the highest weekend gross yet for the E.B White adaptation. The G-rated kids flick took in $14.5 million for the four days, boosting its three-week cume to $55.8 million.
Universal Pictures' "The Good Shepherd" eked out a victory over the $14.1 million it pulled in during its first four-day frame. But its four-day take of $14.2 million allowed it to top "Rocky's" earnings and secure the fifth spot in the top 10. The Robert De Niro-directed film, starring Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie, generated a 1% increase compared with last weekend, and its 11-day cume is $38.3 million.
Warner Bros. Pictures' "We Are Marshall" earned an additional $10.4 million during its second weekend. The Matthew McConaughey starrer topped its initial weekend in release by 22%, giving the film a much-needed bump. The inspirational sports film's gross is $27.5 million.
MGM's other holdover, "Black Christmas," didn't score well. The R-rated slasher film, which garnered controversy for bowing on Christmas Day, earned an additional $4.9 million. Despite adding 266 theaters, "Christmas" has earned just $12.1 million after one full week in theaters.
In limited release, Picturehouse's "Pan's Labyrinth" marked the strongest of the debuts. The Guillermo del Toro fairy tale for adults got off to a strong start in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Toronto; the R-rated film opened on 17 screens to a four-day estimate of $750,521. The film, which has been a favorite of critics nationwide, generated a strong per-screen average of $44,148. Exit polls suggest that the film is playing well to all audiences, though men over 25 were the dominant demographic on opening weekend.
Picturehouse intends to expand the film in Los Angeles and Chicago this weekend but will widen it significantly Jan. 12 to 100 screens in five more markets.
Picturehouse head Bob Berney is enthusiastic about the film's opening, not only for the company but for the indie arena in general. "Audiences are not looking at this film as a foreign-language film," he said. "I'm so happy for Guillermo, but it also is good news for the indie market. (The fact) that a film that is challenging and crosses different genres can connect with such a large audience -- it's a great, kick-ass way to go into 2007."
Fox Searchlight bowed Richard Eyre's R-rated "Notes on a Scandal" to an estimated $551,185 for the four-day period. Opening on 22 screens in seven markets, the British-based tale of tangled relationships generated a per-screen average of $25,053. The studio intends to expand what it is calling "the number-one art film in the market" to seven additional cities and 70 more theaters this weekend.
"We're really pleased with the numbers," said Sheila DeLoach, Searchlight senior vp and general sales manager. "They just keep going up, and the Judi Dench fans are coming out in droves."
The total cume for the Cate Blanchett-Dench starrer, which bowed Wednesday, is an estimated $750,042.
Also on Wednesday, Paramount opened DreamWorks' "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" to a six-day cume of $69,000. The R-rated film, based on Patrick Suskind's novel and starring Ben Whishaw and Dustin Hoffman, bowed on three screens for a per-screen average of $23,000.
MGM also bowed the Weinstein Co.'s "Miss Potter," a PG drama about children's book author Beatrix Potter, on two screens in Los Angeles and New York. The Renee Zellweger starrer grossed an estimated $12,953 for the four-day frame, good for a $6,477 per-screen average.
On five screens, Clint Eastwood's critically acclaimed "Letters From Iwo Jima" brought in an additional $115,000 for the four-day frame. The film's two-week cume is an estimated $343,000.

Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
Playing this game on Wii brings out its full potential. The game has great campaigns, is full of thrills, and also has an online multiplayer that adds loads to the fun action rating. The game also has more online Modes than in some of the earlier ones in the series. There are some down sides to the game too; I found the campaigns, although well presented, far too short for my liking.
Occasional problems with the controls, though not serious, cause occasional hiccups. The graphics in the game convey a certain level of diversity and drama whereas they lack the sharpness you would hope for and expect. The game's controls are straightforward and customizable, with the occasional glitch as mentioned above. This is probably the best online shooter experience Wii has to offer as of now. The campaigns in this game require mobility as they are mostly set in isolated and far flung locations. Flexibility and superior firepower on your part are the keys to winning the conflicts you enter into. Here you will undertake a wide variety of actions allowing you to play more than one combatant.
The silenced weapons available and clever tactics are the orders of the day if you want to come out alive. Missions here require you to eliminate your adversaries either by direct combat or by quietly sneaking past them unnoticed. There are also full blown firefights through the streets of Middle Eastern where the demobilized tank and the bomb-demolished buildings are your only cover. In the missions the enemies constantly put pressure on you and dispatching them rapidly is the only way to avoid being overrun by superior numbers. In most levels of the game the terrain allows you to take a number of different approaches to any destination and allows you to have some freedom as to your onward progress. Unfortunately the campaign is over pretty soon, but there are replay options.
In the online mission the game is as it was in the previous Call of Duty's mission. You will earn experience when you kill your enemies, accomplish objectives and when you complete a challenge. This allows you to unlock new weapons and to level up new perks and equipments. There are a lot of improvements in this game compared to previous one; some of these are the many online game types available. The modes also add some variety to the online scene.
One of the great drawbacks of the game is the occasional aiming problem. Your targeting reticule will snap on the enemy, then, the reticule in most cases jumps backwards instead of going towards the enemy and shooting. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is well scripted and is intensely exciting, hours of fun for fans of warfare games.

Citations for omphaloskepsis
There is a word for that, Greek, of course, which has come into English: omphaloskepsis, or meditating while staring at one's navel. Marvelous, isn't it. I love words.
...as a mere illusion, who run away from it and devote their time and energy to occupations which Mr. Cardan sums up and symbolises in the word omphaloskepsis.
Origin of omphaloskepsis
Omphaloskepsis comes from the Greek roots omphalos which means "navel" and sképsis which means "act of looking."

Genre: YA, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance
Release Date: August 14th 2012
Publisher: Entangled Teen
Source: Physical copy, Goodreads
Review: 5/5 *Full Review Below.
Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…
Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon's determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I've sworn him off, even though he's running more hot than cold these days. But we've got bigger problems.
Something worse than the Arum has come to town…
The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I'm a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who's got a secret of his own. He knows what's happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.
But then everything changes…
I've seen someone who shouldn't be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he's never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?
No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…
I was originally going to give this book 4 starts but seriously the death of a much much loved character who I was seriously starting to really like completely killed me and I couldn't not give it a 5. I really didn't see it coming or the cheeky devastating cliffhanger they thrown in at the end? Like the last chapter, last page, last paragraph.. WTF, I knew there wouldn't be a happily ever after just yet but I was not expecting that.

Capturing the passage of time with some form of imagery holds a certain fascination for us, probably because the activities of daily life seem to be such a blur as we're living through them.
When still photography, and then motion pictures, gave us the chance to preserve our important events and fleeting moments on film, many of us stopped there. We filled our albums, shoeboxes, and scrapbooks with the paper artifacts that represented the historical record of our everyday experiences and special life events.
But some continued to dream and experiment — and the advent of digital photography has only opened more doors to the imaginative spots in their brains.
One such interesting vision comes from the photographer Matt Molloy, a young man from Michigan, who combines time-lapse photography techniques in his digital camera with the image-manipulation software on his computer to create composite-image studies he calls "time stacks."
In addition to applying his eye and equipment to make star trails and traditional images of landscapes and sunsets, Molloy spends computer time to edit a staggered sequence of frames that end up offering a new take on the typical time-lapse photo or motion picture.
Take a look at his "Twenty Minute Sunset" or his Time Stacks set. Then, explore more of Molloy's 500px portfolio and his Flickr photostream for a fascinating vision of time and our natural world.

Burning Up (1018)bypapaya_lynne©
Thinking impure thoughts
In a very inappropriate setting.
Trying not to show my desire
Hoping no one can tell.
But secretly wishing one or two
Could know my desires
And be willing and able
To help me quench them
Before my growing, burning
Desire consumes me entirely.

It could just be a case of Digital facing reality —that's how IDC sees reports that Digital may sell its Alpha RISC microprocessor technology to Intel.
Meanwhile, a Digital New Zealand spokesman says the local office had been advised not to comment and Computerworld was unable to contact Intel's New Zealand general manager by deadline.
The Wall Street Journal says Digital is discussing selling Alpha technology to Intel for more than $US1.5 billion. The suggestion follows a patent battle between the two which has been going on since May, when Digital sued Intel for infringing on 10 Alpha-related patents to build Intel's Pentium line of chips. Several weeks later Intel filed its own suit against Digital over alleged misuse of technical information Digital had obtained through a non-disclosure agreement with Intel. Overseas the two companies have not commented on the story.
IDC New Zealand general manager Graham Penn says it would be an unusual solution to the patent fight, because Intel is working closely with HP to develop Merced. "That is really intended to occupy the 64-bit space and Digital's already there with Alpha, and presumably it's using similar techniques to enable it to improve the clock speeds."
But while he's surprised at the rumour, he can understand what may be the rationale for a sale. He says he can see why Digital may want to back out of the microprocessor space."It's a hole you keep pouring huge amounts of money in."
Penn says it may be that Digital has concluded it hasn't been able to attract enough users to Alpha. "My guess is that Digital probably recognises the realities of today's market, and if what's rumoured is true, for Digital it may well be the most satisfactory way out of a difficult situation."
He says the motivation could also be to settle the lawsuit, which he believes could well be Intel's motivation. "Maybe Digital is being pragmatic and Intel may find it's a convenient way to get rid of the monkey off its back."

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I always had a weak spot for David Cronenberg's work, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, it turned out to be one of these cheap Canadian horror movies he made at the beginning of his career but even though I didn't care much for the other ones he made ('Rabid', 'Shivers'), this one however still managed to grab me somehow. I mean, to be honest, the acting was not really strong, nothing much happened through most of the duration and not everything that did happen made much sense but, even so, the damned thing was just weird and creepy enough to keep me intrigued until the very end. Eventually, the ending was pretty much the only really remarklable thing in this movie with the usual Cronenberg's body horror trademark and it was again pretty weird and gruesome. You have to give Cronenberg some credit to manage to deliver something watchable from such a rather preposterous concept and, in fact, when it was released, it was completely dismissed by such major critics like Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing really amazing, I thought it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in David Cronenberg's work.

my 3 little baby robins flew off today.
momma & daddy did their jobs.
from momma picking out just the right location in my hanging basket.
laying her eggs, keeping them warm, hatching, feeding them...letting them fly off on their own.
i am gonna miss walking out there every day to see 3 little heads bobbing up and down and chirping up a storm.
and i never gave her reason to.
she would always let me get my picture & water the basket.
it's almost as if she knew i wasn't a threat...and i think she liked me talking all sweet to her and telling her how pretty her babies were, even though quite honestly they were pretty ugly from the start. :)
he was always the first one up.

Seems like anytime we are trying to plan our weekly meals or figure out where we want to go out for dinner 'Mexican' always is the first to come to mind. There's just something about it we can never get sick of, and since we are both veggies (OK Jake's on the brink of turning...) it's an easy go to for both us. So we decided to see how many times throughout a one week period we actually prepare Mexican food for a meal. This may not be the most exciting post, however, those of you who heart Mexican food us much as us may get a kick out of this. (BTW our good friend Amy inspired us and we are going to be growing a "salsa garden" as soon as we have some sort of yardage).
Monday: Shrimp Burritos and black beans (on the side). Jessica pulled whatever we had remaining in the cupboard and fridge for a late dinner. Very yummy.
Tuesday: Good 'ol Baja Fresh! Chicken Baja Burrito for Jake and a side salad with rice and beans for Jess (leftovers for Wednesday's lunch! BONUS).
Wednesday: Mahi Mahi tacos with cilantro sauce and black beans on the side. No lunch leftovers the next day. Too good not to eat seconds! (BTW thanks again Amy for this easy and CHEAP recipe. Although Jess isn't really one for meaty items, this one passed her sensitive texture pallet)
Are we sick of Mexican after more than half of a week's dinners (4 meals...but who's counting) consisting of some concoction of cheese, lettuce, rice, and beans. nahhh! We probably would have had it for more than one of the remaining meals of the week if it wasn't for dinner plans with Adam and Lizzie or checking off one of our "bucket list" items. Good thing Austin has amazing Tex Mex, I'm sure we won't skip a beat there either.

"When one thought ends, right before the next thought begins,there is a tiny gap called 'now.' Over time we learn to expand that gap." – Spring Washam
Spirit Rock offers a breadth of programs in a variety of formats to fit many different schedules and needs, from two-hour classes that meet weekly and daylong workshops on the weekends to silent residential retreats lasting from three-days to as long as two months. We've also organized our programs into eight paths below to help you find what interests you.
Spirit Rock Meditation Center is dedicated to the teachings of the Buddha as presented in the Vipassana tradition. Insight Meditation, the practice of mindful awareness, is at the heart of all our offerings. These programs are defined by the core of the Buddha's teachings and offer an opportunity to explore everything from the basics of practice to the deepest concepts of the Buddha's teachings. Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, meditation, metta (loving-kindness practice), sangha (community), Vipassana, satipatthana (Four Foundations of Mindfulness), brahmaviharas (modes of conduct), awareness, essential Dharma, wise speech, dependent origination, equanimity, desire, breath, mindfulness of the body, monastic days, anatta (not self), karma, embodiment, abhidhamma (Buddhisht psychology), silence.
Insight Meditation, known as Vipassana in the Buddhist tradition, is a simple technique which has been practiced in Asia for more than 2,600 years. Beginning with focusing attention on the breath, the practice concentrates and calms the mind. It allows us to see through the mind's conditioning and thereby to live more fully present in the moment. Mindfulness is a way of maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and the surrounding environment. Meditation practice helps us cultivate the skills for mindfulness.
Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: Mindfulness, meditation, Insight, concentration.
Through an understanding of the nature of mind, we can see that our mind states play a major role in our day-to-day experience, as well as in our physical and mental well-being. Our state of mind influences our attitude and behavior in relation to our thoughts and to others. This mental attitude is a critical factor in determining experience, and thus our health.Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: Buddhist psychology, judgments, trauma, self-compassion, anxiety, ambivalence, ambiguity, communication, concentration, addiction, grief, neuroscience and psychology, happiness, choice, inner conflict, grateful, joy, ego, anger, clarity, transforming emotions, transforming reactivity, loving what is, presence, emotional resilience, not-self, the thinking brain, grief, healing, discovering reality.
The Fourth Noble Truth of the Noble Eightfold Path to liberation is used to develop insight into the true nature of reality. Through this path, which includes mindful awareness, we can cultivate skillful communication to improve our relationships in the world. These relationships can include partners, children, friends, family and colleagues. At Spirit Rock, we offer programs to cultivate relationships across the spectrum.
Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: Parenting, parent-child relationships, partner-relationships, fear of love, love, communication, change through time, couples, intimacy.
Taking Refuge in the Sangha means looking for support, inspiration and guidance from all who walk the Noble Eightfold Path. Spirit Rock offers an opportunity to practice with a community of like-minded people.
These programs are offered for such diverse groups as youth, teens, young adults, elders, LGBT*QI, women's groups, men's groups, people of color, creative communities and more.
Investigate the power the Dharma can have in your life and in your workplace. Bring attention to skillful interactions along with the ability to identify emotional experiences in the body with an intention to help improve daily interactions. The application of mindfulness and mindfulness-based psychotherapy is increasingly appreciated by the therapeutic community as an approach to reducing mental and emotional suffering. Spirit Rock offers continuing education units for many of our programs for psychotherapists, lawyers, caregivers, social workers, educators and more.
Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: psychotherapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), leadership, lawyers, educators, healthcare, mindfulness facilitators, caregivers, communication, right view, right speech, right listening, right concentration.
The first foundation of mindfulness is mindfulness of the body. This is an awareness of the body as body. It is something experienced as breath, flesh and bone. Introduction to mindfulness is often focused on the breath, experiencing breath and being breath. As the ability to maintain awareness of breath gets stronger, the practitioner becomes aware of the whole body. Body awareness is taken into movement. Chanting and rituals are opportunities to be mindful of body as it moves, and in this way we train to be mindful even when not meditating.
Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: walking meditation, yoga, qigong, dance, improv, chanting, aging, illness, injury, pain, dying.
In 1987, Spirit Rock Meditation Center purchased 411 acres of undeveloped land in the San Geronimo Valley of northern California from The Nature Conservancy, which then used the funds to preserve rainforests in South America. Our landscape is a central part of the Spirit Rock experience. Just as one recognizes that they are a part of a community of practice, the Earth's must not be seen as a collection of commodities for personal use but as a communion of subjects of which we are all a part. This section includes programs about the natural world as well as on the science of meditation from the fields of psychology and neurosciences.
Some of the themes covered in this learning path include: Connecting with nature, the healing power of nature, neuroscience and nature, awakening in nature, sustainable world, the Spirit Rock land.

The 13,000 acre ranch is currently home to hundreds of zebras, giraffes, warthogs, impalas, elands, antelopes and many others, including one particually hungry cheatah.There is also several Masai settlements on the property, and we had the opportunity to spend a morning with the tribe- learning their culture, taking part in traditional beading and even teaching them the hokey pokey. Not every day you can say that you did the hokey pokey with the masai!Jambo Antips!
It was an amazing experience to live in this place and amongst this setting, but we were still relieved yesterday to be home in camp and say goodbye to the tents, bucket showers and drop toilets.
Back in camp, life has been almost equally interesting. A war has broken out between the boys and girls- started through us putting a chicken in to the shower with Patrick. The boys got their own back later that night by waking us up with pots and pans over our heads at two am!
We have welcomed to Camp Tanzania a whole other group of European campers, who are staying with us for a mix of one and two months. Tonight we are celebrating their arrival with a fancy dress party before hitting the clubs.
Tomorrow we head away again to Camp Kydia which is 45 minutes away up Mt. Kilimanjaro where we will get to know the local Chaga tribes and work with the woman there.
Hoping all is well back home! And until next time, hakuna matata! :)

Tyler Johnson notched the first hat trick in Lightning playoff history, including a shorthanded goal on a 5-on-3, to help Tampa Bay cruise to a 6–2 win over the Rangers in Game 2. The teams are tied at a game each in the Eastern Conference finals.
NEW YORK — Like "focus" or "experience" or pretty much anything Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault utters this time of year, "depth" is a favorite cliché at rinks come spring. After the Lightning were held to just one goal in Game 1, even Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper—often thoughtful, rarely trite—had to bring up the importance of scoring depth.
"If we want to advance, we're going to need more than the Triplets [Tampa Bay's explosive line of Tyler Johnson, Nikita Kucherov and Ondrej Palat] to score," he said Sunday. "Depth is a big thing."
And as the series between New York and Tampa Bay wears on, sure, it likely will be. But for Game 2, depth was an added bonus. The Lightning really just needed one player: Johnson. Scoring a hat trick before the game was halfway over, the center led the Lightning to a 6–2 win over the Rangers on Monday night at Madison Square Garden.
• Complete conference finals schedule | NHL playoffs hub
As he did in the opening round against the Red Wings and then against the Canadiens in the second round, Johnson asserted himself in this Eastern Conference finals with a statement game that tied the series at a game apiece. With 11 goals this postseason, the 24-year-old undrafted center, a player who says he had no NHL role models growing up in Spokane, Wash., now leads the league in playoff goals and points, passing Anaheim's Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.
"It's impressive, especially at this time of year," Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. "The way he did it tonight … a lot of people talk about that line, but he did it on his own in a couple instances."
Looking to rebound from a performance that Cooper said sort of made him want to vomit upon rewatching, the Lightning came out with a stronger will in Game 2, the coach said. And though they took four penalties in the first 10:31, including two that gave New York a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:07, they managed to come out with a lead, thanks to Johnson's shorthanded goal at 5:38. Sprung on an odd-man rush after Rangers winger Martin St. Louis could not handle a puck at his feet, Johnson drove hard at goalie Henrik Lundqvist and was rewarded with a goal.
"For us to take four minors [early] … and not only come out of that even, but to come up with the lead, was a huge momentum swing," Cooper said. "It gave us a lot of confidence, and we took off from there."
Tampa Bay's penalty kill wasn't perfect, as the Rangers' Chris Kreider answered with a power-play goal just three minutes later. But that momentum-swinging sequence set the tone of the Lightning's game. Johnson struck again on a 4-on-3 power play at 11:15, roofing a beautiful shot from the left circle into the top right corner, and then he finished off his hat trick—the first for any Tampa Bay player in a playoff game—following up on a rebound in a battle in Lundqvist's crease.
It is Johnson's penchant for driving to the hard areas, for being in the spots that a (generously listed) 5'9", 182-pound player has no business commanding, that is most impressive. He plays fearlessly, not just for his size, but for any size. And as he has done all season long, Johnson continues to defy expectations.
"Bigger players always have to play themselves off teams; smaller players always have to play themselves on teams," Cooper said. "[Small players] have to be better than everybody else. You look at a [Calgary's Johnny] Gaudreau, his hockey sense is off the charts, better than most. That's why he survives. Tyler Johnson, his speed, his competitiveness—that's what sets [him] apart."
What has most set Tampa Bay apart over the last couple weeks has been its spectacular power play, which scored three times Monday night. With the Rangers filing into the penalty box in the third period, the Lightning took advantage and ultimately put the game away, as Stamkos and Alex Killorn gave Tampa goalie Ben Bishop the cushion he seemed to need after a shaky second period. Bishop gave up a power-play goal late in the middle frame, getting caught out of position, and was almost caught again minutes later. His defensemen, namely Victor Hedman, denied a potential tying goal that very well could have changed the complexion of the game.
"All plays are big, especially in a series of this magnitude," Stamkos said. "At this time of the year you have to be willing to sacrifice your body for the betterment of the team and we have guys that do that."
• BARSHOP: Rangers sparked by new Stepan-Kreider-Fast line
While Monday night was largely a special teams battle, won handily by the Lightning, New York will certainly be focused on staying out of the box as the series moves back to Tampa for Game 3 Wednesday. After a game he called "embarrassing," Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh didn't mince words. "Our guys better figure it out quickly here and realize that stupid, selfish penalties are going to cost us against this team," he said. "They have too much skill."
But even 5-on-5, without the last change, New York may run into matchup issues in Tampa, finding it harder to isolate and key in on the Triplets or Stamkos's line, which generated Tampa's other three goals. The offensive firepower that the Lightning have—they led the NHL in scoring this season with 3.16 goals per game—is even more troublesome for the Rangers, who have averaged just two goals per game since the playoffs began.
"[I'm] confident that we're going to respond the right way," Vigneault said after the game. "We always have."

text: Hollywood has long been ruled by the studio system. The studio system includes a selected number of 'major' studios who engage in film production & distribution. They release a substantial number of films every year & earn a major share of box office revenues. With significant changes marking the turning points in Hollywood, the frontrunners become the 'big' studios. The current 'Big Six' came into being from 1990 to 1995, when Hollywood became more of a conglomerate than a mere film production & distribution unit. The 'Big Six' collectively command approximately 80 – 85 percent of US & Canadian box office revenue. These 'Big Six' are: 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures & Walt Disney Pictures. Of these, 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures were part of the original 'Big Five' who operated during the Golden Age of Hollywood (late 1920s to mid-1940s).

Why Sacred Geometry?
When living consciously and bringing positive changes to help our planet, it is important that we maintain a coherent 'high vibration' within ourselves. This frequency then manifests into our daily existence. Already being vegetarian/vegan is a major choice which enhances life, however we can go even further if we look at Sacred Geometry, which is the fundamental blueprint of all living things.
Geometric patterns and shapes express the pure frequency of the natural matrix. This is why Sacred Geometry can play an essential role in maintaining our life force and strengthening our energy. This can be demonstrated with muscle testing. During the experience of the Template workshops our electromagnetic circuits are reconnected through our resonance with Sacred Geometry.
In the Template Workbook Juliet Carter writes:
"A vegetarian/vegan diet is the first step in transcending the gross tendencies that govern our dualistic existence. Ideally it is preferable to make this decision from your own inner realizations and the voice of compassion in your heart rather than from guilt or shame. However, if you cannot hear that voice, become a vegetarian and you will.
The reconnection of circuitry will assist this move away from one of Humanity's darkest and deepest addictions by reconnecting the energy supply to the endocrine system and redefining the way in which we sustain life, not through an adopted discipline, but from the harmonious unfoldment of organic alignments radiating from our core… from the heart."

Ahh... HP calculators
Posted by bbeamer on 10 June 2009, 11:59 a.m.
My father was an electrical engineer at HP and one day in the early '70's, when I was about 6 or 7, he brought home an HP 35. I had used calculators before, but I had never seen the kind of buttons that this one had. "sin", "cos", "ln", "xy", that big "enter" key and no equal sign. Well, my imagination was fired.
Then in high school, I suffered through my first physics class with a TI, with all the problems they were known for. Things had to change. I scraped together the money that I earned at the fast food job I had and got the coolest calculator HP had then, the 15C. I loved that calculator! I wrote a program to solve the quadratic for real and imaginary roots that all my classmates were jealous of, even into college, where I studied physics and mathematics.
Then the 28C came out. All those buttons! And graphing. And the solver. I had to have it. But like an idiot, I sold my 15C. I loved the 28C almost as much, though. Then one day, the screen stopped working on the 28C. That was a bad day. My life had gone away from math and science, so I went for a long time without a "real" calculator.
Eventually, my life turned back toward math and science, and now I'm the proud owner of a 50G. It's a very nice calculator. I do miss the big horizontal "enter" button, though. Thanks to some lessons learned in my "alternate" careers (and sniping on ebay), I have a 15C and a 28C back in my possession and my collection is growing. I still get a hit of nostalgia whenever I pull out the 15C and run the quadratic program (which I rewrote as soon as I got it).

Treme: The Complete Fourth Season (HBO, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital)
Treme: The Complete Series (HBO, Blu-ray)
HBO's ensemble drama, created by David Simon (who previously gave HBO The Wire) and set in post-Katrina New Orleans, received accolades but was overlooked in the Emmys and struggled for viewers over its first three seasons. So the network gave Simon a short fourth season to wrap up the stories of his characters in a brief five episodes and he does so with the same focus on community and culture and the richness of New Orleans music that made the show one of cable's finest dramas.
It opens in 2008, with the election of President Barack Obama and surge of hope for things to improve, and the season finds many of its characters taking the next step in their lives. Wendell Pierce's Antoine Batiste discovers, much to his amazement, that he cares deeply about the lives and well-being of his music students beyond their musical talents. Chef Jeanette Desautel (Kim Dickens) parts ways with her former restaurant partner to open her own place and finds herself fighting to use her own name, due to a clause in her partnership contrast. Fiddler and singer Annie (Lucia Micarelli) takes a leap into the national music scene and struggles to hold on to her musical identity as her manager commercializes her sound. Melissa Leo's bulldog of an attorney Toni Bernette continues to press her case against the NOPD and Detective Terry Colson defies the department to help her. And so many other stories play out in these final episodes—the most poignant revolving around Albert Lambreaux, (Clarke Peters), the stubborn Big Chief determined to preserve the Mardi Gras traditions of old, as he faces his own mortality when his cancer returns—without losing the pace of life and the rich culture that defines the show or the complexities and contradictions of the characters themselves. (What other show would make one of the out-of-state contractors who hustles his way into the big money pouring into reconstruction would cast Jon Seda and make him into such a likable guy?) It's a show of politics and music and culture, but ultimately it's about people trying to preserve what matters most to them.
Five episodes on Blu-ray and DVD, with commentary on two episodes.
HBO also releases the entire series in a box set on Blu-ray: 36 episodes on 14 discs in four cases. This is a series worth keeping and revisiting. It never found the critical cache or the intense devotion that made David Simon's The Wire such a landmark, perhaps because these stories didn't revolve around the volatile lives of cops and drug dealers and street kids trying to survive it all, but these stories are no less profound or moving and the culture that Simon and his collaborators (co-creator Eric Overmyer and writer David Mills, both veterans of Simon's Homicide and The Wire, and novelist George Pelicanos and food writer Anthony Bourdain are part of the writing team) present on screen is richer and denser and more complex than anything I've seen on a fictional TV series. And when you pull it all together, you see a subtle but resonant closure that, as in The Wire, ties the series finale back to the first episode, both here directed by the great Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland: "Do You Know What it Means" and "… To Miss New Orleans."
David Simon and various members of the cast and crew contribute commentary to over half of the episodes of the series and there is music commentary on each episode of the first three seasons, plus all the previously released featurettes and other supplements. This set also includes an exclusive bonus disc with 15 music videos.
Downton Abbey: Season 4 (PBS, Blu-ray, DVD) opens six months after (*season 3 spoiler alert*) the death of Matthew Crawley, husband of Mary (Michelle Dockery) and heir to the Downton estate, with the house still in mourning and paternal patriarch Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), determined to take charge in the name of Mary's infant son, heir to the Matthew's share of the estate.
Creator / writer Julian Fellowes uses the turn of events to discuss such antiquated laws of inheritance in 20th century England, albeit with dignified restraint, just as it series gingerly addresses chauvinism, rape, and prejudice, the latter as the fun-loving young cousin Rose (Lily James) secretly dates a black American jazz singer. Mary blossoms in her new role as a manager of the estate (much to the frustration of her father) while courted by two suitors and, in proper Upstairs, Downstairs fashion, the servants deal with their own dramas and romantic tribulations, with lives spilling over the social division. Opera legend Kiri Te Kanawa guest stars in an early episode. The extended season finale "The London Season" brings the characters to London for Rose to be presented to the king and queen and features guest stars Shirley MacLaine (as Cora's brash American mother) and Paul Giamatti (as her playboy brother Harold) who arrive in London for the occasion as well as an unexpected subplot that turns into a little heist drama with stalwart support from the loyal and reliable Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle).

Legal questions about end-of-life decisions have moved on since the paradigm-setting battles in the 1980's and 1990's. It is now clearly established that a competent person has the right to refuse needed medical treatment and to make binding advance directives about treatment if she becomes incompetent. Physician-assisted suicide is a policy choice for states, not a constitutional right. National debate now focuses on providing palliative care rather than high-tech interventions to prolong fading life. Cost reduction consistent with these values remain an omnipresent dilemma.
Sticky legal issues, however, remain, particularly with regard to the care of incompetent patients, as a Minnesota trial court recently reminded us (In re the Guardianship of Jeffers J. Tschumy, Hennepin County District Court, Fourth Judicial District, #27-GC-PR-07-496, October 18, 2012). The question before the court was whether a broad grant of power to a guardian to make decisions about consenting or not consenting to medical treatment includes the power to have treatment terminated that will result in the ward's death. While allowing treatment to be withheld in that case, the court decided that only a judge, not the guardian on his own, could make that decision. An appeal is now pending.
The court's opinion catalogued the main arguments for each position before coming down on the side of judicial review. Allowing the guardian to decide without court review was supported by the broad language of powers granted to guardians—to make decision about providing or withholding medical treatment—and the legislature's failure to list termination of treatment as something that was explicitly denied the guardian (as it had done with certain other procedures). It would also be quicker and less cumbersome, expensive, and burdensome both for judges and family members to have guardians empowered to terminate treatment.
On the other side were the argument that the awesome power to end life was not specifically granted the guardian, and the fact that guardians are often appointed years before such decisions must be made. At that time of appointment there is usually little thought of ending the life at some future time, and guardians so appointed may have not expertise or training in such matters. The court concluded that until the legislature decided otherwise, a guardian would have to return to court for permission to end treatment that would result in the ward's death.
The court's concern about the expertise of guardians and the often long time gap between when they are appointed and when such a decision has to be made are reasonable, and may well be determinative for the legislature when it faces this issue. Perhaps courts should be involved in the ultimate decision, but it does not follow that they have to make the decision in each case. It may be enough that guardians return to court at a later time to have that power specifically granted them, if the court finds them fit to make such a decision. Even if the legislature requires courts to make the termination decision, it should not require that an independent advocate for the ward then be appointed, as occurred in the Tschumay case. It should be enough that the court reviews the basis for the guardian's decision to terminate treatment. An affadavit or testimony from a physician might suffice here together with evidence from family members or others who know the ward and the situation.
With 12,000 persons under guardianship in Minnesota, many of whom at some point may face life-determining medical decisions, the question is not trivial. Many other states will have to face the same issue. Indeed, such decisions will eventually intersect with measures to restrict costs. It would be shocking if cost-control measures were explicitly guided by the incompetence/competence of the patient, or indeed, any assessment of mental status as such. Yet those considerations might come into play surreptitiously as guardians and courts come to terms with providing treatment, including hospitalization and expensive procedures, to incompetent patients with bleak prospects for recovering their well-being.
Perhaps the most interesting point of all in the court's decision was the sharp line it drew between its punctiliousness for incompetent patients under guardianship and its lack thereof for incompetent patients under the decisional authority of a proxy whom they have designated in a health care directive. No court review is required in the latter case. There is, of course, no reason to think that proxies appointed by directive are any better decision-makers than earlier court-appointed guardians, especially if the guardian is a close family member or a professional with training and experience in end-of-life matters. However, the source of authority for each differs–one is by the parens patriae power of the state and the other is by the patient herself when competent. Either decision-maker, however, is prone to the systematic errors and biases that creep into proxy decision-making—the tendency to view Time 2 interests when incompetent through the lens of Time 1 competency and interests when the directive is made.
The importance of the guardian's power vs the patient's power to designate a proxy may be swallowed up by the greater problems of extending palliative care to all and drawing the right balance between cost control and end-of-life interests. Still, such questions remind us of the many legal challenges that will arise in end-of-life settings as policy evolves.

Those waiting for AT&T to offer Samsung's Galaxy Note may not have to wait for so long, with the device passing FCC's standards. All that's needed is the US government's green light and the Galaxy Note will be good to go.
The smartphone-tablet combo has all the bells and whistles of a high-end device, with specs such as HD Super AMOLED, Gingerbread, 1GB of RAM and a microSD slot for that extra storage.
The US version will have some nifty add-ons right out of the box with accessories including a desktop dock and flip cover cases. There's even a Galaxy Note S Pen holder kit and a spare battery charging system.
The Galaxy Note's AT&T version was featured at the recent CES, and is similar in specs as those released in other parts of the world. With AT&T's high speed network, it will surely be worth the wait.
