Two in, six to go

And then there were 10.

The field for December’s Roar of the Rings grew by two teams yesterday as Winnipeg’s Jeff Stoughton and Calgary’s Crystal Webster (CCA photo above by Michael Burns) qualified for the Canadian Olympic Trials.

One more will be added by about 7:30pm ET tonight, when Kelowna’s Kelly Scott finishes her battle with Thunder Bay’s Krista McCarville in the women’s B-final. That game starts at 4:00pm ET (live on TSN).

Another will be added later tonight, when the men’s B-final takes place (starting at 9:30pm ET, again on TSN). That one will feature the winner of Edmonton’s Ted Appelman versus Mike McEwen of Winnipeg facing off against the winner of Pat Simmons (Davidson, SK) and Wayne Middaugh (Toronto).

What else is happening?

Well, the TCN Twitterfeed is humming again, click here (and click on Follow) to see nine Tweets from earlier this morning…

PetGirl Bergman’s Art Exhibit for the Swedish National Celebration

Tina’s installation based on the Swedish flag – formed of scripted units that will appear bit by bit, can be seen from 1 June at the Swedish Embassy – Second House of Sweden - until June 6. In the evening of the Swedish National Day celebration on 6 June, it will disappear forever.

The complete Swedish flag finished size is 30×48 meters, consisting of a total of 168 prims 3*3* meter in size. One can walk on it, look at it – and Tina says, “The flag will also show my point of how Sweden as nation are today… have a look at it and you will understand.”
Then it die, quite simply vanish, leaving no trace – something which is possible only in Second Life.

The installation is created by Tina (PetGirl) Bergman – the idea and execution in cooperation with Deirdre Boyer who did all necessary scripting.
