Don Cherry almost took the words right out of my mouth after the Habs game when he said that he was going to do a feature on the brilliant defensive play of Derian Hatcher, only to have the colossal defender almost turn Francis Boullion's head into a cube and almost costing the Flyers Game 3. Moments before the boarding penalty I was actually saying to Temujin how good Hatcher has been in these playoffs. Sometimes I don't watch the puck or puck carrier on the t.v. screen. I'll watch the people behind the play or away from the puck. I've noticed that Hatcher is playing positionally very well in order to compensate for his lack of speed. He blocks shots. He makes people pay with crunching hits in the defensive zone. He has no fear.It's this kind of play that may be the Habs' undoing. The Fly
In 2057, a team of astronauts are on a mission to reignite a dying Sun in order to save Earth.That is the premise of the visually stunning Sunshine directed by Danny Boyle. You might remember him as the director of 28 Days Later, and I think this is right up there in the quality department.It's not only the visuals, however. This is a well-acted, expertly directed film, and I highly recommend it.I've always loved Noir. Be it in film or print, I can't get enough of the genre. So, me reading The Tarnished Angel made perfect sense.Here, you get the classic man against everything motif, but with a superhero twist.It's a collection of volumes from Astro City, a series created by Kurt Busiek, a man I began to admire after reading the new Conan books.The story revolves one ex-con's attempt to be
The Golden Compass is based on Phillip Pullman’s first novel in His Dark Materials trilogy, called Northern Lights. It won the Carnegie Medal for children’s fiction in 1995, and was selected by judges in 2007 as one of the most important children’s novels in the past 70 years. However, the author’s motives have been challenged [...]
Peace is the word the wind murmurs as you close your eyes and breathe. An essence reconciled with meaning cascades into serenity. Let go. Dwelling on the disparity between your ideals and your life will only bring you sorrow. Accept it where it is tarnished and revel in it where it is spectacular. Peace. Find it. And quit feuding with the things you can't change. There's a virtuous victory in the submission to defeat. So kindle your faith and hand over the reins.

A Plot To Overthrow Communist Laotian GovernmentHmong General Vang PaoA six-month undercover investigation, dubbed "Operation Tarnished Eagle," led to charges against nine people Monday, with charges pending against a tenth. Investigators say the accused met in hotel rooms and restaurants in California's Central Valley, where they plotted to buy hundreds of automatic rifles, antitank missiles, rockets, mines, C-4 explosive and smoke grenades.Authorities say the conspirators were planning to ship the arms by way of safe houses and drop zones in Thailand and Laos. Mercenaries would retrieve the weapons, then blow up government buildings and assassinate officials in Laos in an attempt to overthrow the country's communist government.The accused include Vang Pao, 77, a former Laotian general who is a leader in California's ethnic Hmong community. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Pao led Hmong tribesmen, backed by the United States, in fighting against communist guerillas. He now lives
