Crack!”– swept over the Canadian taiga, rolling back from the mountainsides and making a large black bear raise its head in irritation, while a herd of startled caribou galloped for a minute aimlessly before coming to rest again. The sources of the booms were two fighter aircraft, a stubby Phantom pursued by a slender pencil-shaped Starfighter, both of which by that time had already reached the narrow valleys which split the hills around Goose Bay. “All right, Aldi, you had it coming!” the pilot of the sleek Starfighter exclaimed, as he zig-zagged behind the Phantom through the maze of canyons they had entered by now. He flipped a switch on his control stick which armed the cannons, but then he gave a little curse because he had lost his focus on navigating the plane for a fraction of a second, and had nearly crashed into an outcrop of rock. “That’ll be the day,” the other pilot radioed back with a peculiar German accent and the slightes indication of a laugh. He gave the control stick of his Phantom a jerk, and the plane with the German Luftwaffe’s “Iron Cross” on it rolled sharply to the right where an even narrower canyon branched off their valley.

  • 2008 Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open Round 6
    2008 Erik Axel Karlfeldt Memorial Open Round 6 1. One instance of this type of event which involved Matt Prater decided the 2005 Aloha Bowl between Nevada and UCF. In 2004, a game-deciding instance of this by Ryan Gaudet was nullified by a penalty, one week after Alexis Serna did it three times against Gaudet’s team. LSU won both those games, defeating Auburn and Oregon State. Perhaps more famously, a Jerome Pathon touchdown, scored after laterals from Donte Stallworth and Deuce McAllister, was made meaningless when John Carney did this, giving a 20-19 victory to the Jaguars over the Saints. FTP, name this rare football feat, which results in only six points being awarded for a touchdown. ANSWER: missed extra point (accept equivalents; do not accept “blocked extra points”) 2. A rapper of this name put out such tracks as “Murder Makes Mo Mail” on his 1996 album De Vallejo. The title of a recent book on American culture by R. Jay Magill, Jr. refers to this kind of chic bitterness. Better known is a song of this name, which was sandwiched between two songs by Oasis as a Billboard number one single. That song details the flight of “Mr. Play it Safe” and remarks that “life has a funny way of sneaking up on you.” It speaks of such events as a “Black fly in your chardonnay” and a “No smoking sign on your cigarette break,” which are erroneously said to exemplify the title concept. FTP, name this Alanis Morissette song that complains of occurrences such as “rain on your wedding day.” ANSWER: “Ironic” 3.

  • Snow Patrol Biography
    SNOW PATROL BIOGRAPHY A few reasons why Snow Patrol are one of the biggest and boldest bands of the past decade: over 15 years, the part Irish, part Scottish five piece have transformed from cultish indie wannabes into a stadium-packing tour de force. They have shifted over ten million albums worldwide and been nominated for Grammys and Brits; scooped Meteors and Ivor Novello Album Awards. At the heart of the band is Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol‟s frontman and songwriter-in-chief. Over five studio albums, the 33 year-old has sketched heart-bruised laments and arm-around-your-best-mate festival anthems; radio hits and moments of painful introspection. All of these have been gathered together for Up To Now - a double album of 30 singles, cover versions and album tracks. “It‟s a bit like photo album,” says Lightbody. “It‟s a documentation of how the band got to where it is now. We‟ve been working hard for 15 years – it wasn‟t something that happened overnight. We wanted to give people as honest an account of us as a band over the last five albums, warts and all. Yeah, we‟re being selectively honest and we might be covering over some of the cracks, but this collection really feels like an honest portrait of us as a band. “At first we got it down to 40 songs but knew it had to be leaner than that and had a little trouble cutting some things we really liked out. But we got it down to 30 in the end.
