Rangers close out the regular season with a home win over Detroit

Despite already having their ticket punched to the postseason, the Rangers (46-27-9) came out strong and won their last game of the regular season, escaping some late drama and taking down the Detroit Red Wings (41-30-11) by a final score of 3-2.
The Rangers could have knocked the Red Wings out of a playoff spot, but luckily for Detroit, the Boston Bruins were blown out by the Senators, 6-1, in their last game of the season. That means that the Red Wings clinch a playoff berth for the 25th consecutive season, and the Flyers need two points to get back into the playoffs.
Despite a lackluster record on the road, the Rangers finished the season with a 27-10-4 record at MSG, and secured a point in 19 of the last 25 home games. Unfortunately, they will not have home ice advantage in the playoffs, but that record is still encouraging heading into the postseason. They also finished with 101 points, marking the first time since the 1971-72 season and the 1972-73 season that they have earned 100 points in back-to-back seasons.
The Rangers decided to play a lot of their young players and backups, scratching Mats Zuccarello and Viktor Stalberg for injuries, as well as starting Antti Raanta and keeping Dan Girardi out of the lineup. Despite that, they played pretty well against a Detroit team that was playing for their playoff lives. Oscar Lindberg was back in the lineup, and Marek Hrivik was recalled from Hartford.
Following the game, AV did say that Stalberg, Zuccarello and Dan Girardi should be good to go for Game 1 on the playoffs, but Ryan McDonagh remains day to day. There's still no official diagnosis released for the Rangers captain.
Unfortunately, there may have been another injury sustained by a Ranger. Eric Staal went down to the ice in the second period and was removed from the game. Off of the faceoff, it looked like Jesper Fast bumped into Staal's head with his hip. According to Vigneault, he was removed because of precautionary reasons, but did say that, "he should be fine."
This win also means that it's very likely that the Rangers will take on the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, which I have mixed feelings about. Marc-Andre Fleury is probably not going to be available which means Matt Murray will be the starting goalie (UPDATE: Murray left today's game after colliding with the Flyers' Brayden Schenn). But he was the best goalie in the AHL last season and he has been fantastic in the NHL to date. So that doesn't necessarily give the Rangers any advantage. Evgeni Malkin is still injured and could miss the entire first round. But the Penguins have been the best team in the league since Malkin went down, and guys like Carl Hagelin, Phil Kessel and Sidney Crosby have really stepped up and played well. They'll be a tough out.
The Red Wings looked to open the game with a goal just over two minutes into the game, but a challenge from Alain Vigneault proved that the play was offsides, and the game went on. The Rangers played well in this period, and were rewarded with a late goal. Dan Boyle made a great play to intercept a pass and go on an odd man rush. When the pass was taken away, he rifled a shot under the arm of Jimmy Howard for his 10th goal of the season, giving him 24 points in 74 games.
The Rangers essentially rested their starters in this game, giving 15-18 minutes to the third and fourth line guys, while Nash and Stepan essentially coasted by with 10 minutes of ice time. Smart move by AV. So it's not really necessary to break this game down in term of shots on goal and possession, since the Rangers weren't really pushing.
The Red Wings did score once in this period, breaking through Antti Raanta on the power pay. Pavel Datsyuk fired a wrist shot that deflected off of Riley Sheahan, who was screening the goaltender. It deflected off of his hip and into the net, tying the game at one.
Detroit sent 16 shots on goal this period, and Antti Raanta made some spectacular saves to keep the game close. Raanta stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced in this game, and he closed out his season on a high note, winning seven of his last eight starts with a save percentage around .930. He earned his 10th win of the season, and it's encouraging to know that the Rangers have a reliable goalie on the bench should they need him in the playoffs.
After 14 minutes of a much more tightly contested third period, the Rangers scored the go-ahead goal, and it was Kevin Hayes picking up his 14th goal of the season. Marek Hrivik made an excellent play on the forecheck to free up the puck, and Oscar Lindberg sent the puck around the boards to Dylan McIlrath. He had his head up the entire time and sent an excellent shot towards the net, right in the vicinity of Hayes to deflect. He did just that and gave the Rangers the lead with 5:38 to go.
The Red Wings pulled the goalie with about 2:30 remaining in the game, and the Rangers immediately gained possession. Jesper Fast passed it off to Oscar Lindberg, who sent it into the empty net for his 13th goal of the season. Lindberg scored the first and last goals of the Rangers' regular season.
The Red Wings would score with the net empty, making it a one goal game with 1:34 remaining. But they couldn't capitalize on a power play and with the net empty, and the Rangers went on to win.
In the end, it's a feel-good win with most of the Rangers' bottom six playing. Maybe they get a little momentum, Antti Raanta has all the confidence in the world, and guys like Oscar Lindberg, Marek Hrivik, Brady Skjei and Dylan McIlrath got some valuable playing time.
Speaking of Brady Skjei, he played another solid game today, logging over 22 minutes of ice time and finishing with a +2 rating. Let's face it, he's going to be in the lineup for Game 1 of the playoffs, and that's not a bad thing. Sure, it's bad that McDonagh is hurt, but Skjei is a damn good player. He's a phenomenal skater, a good puck mover, a smart defenseman, and he's strong. I've seen him tie up guys and defend the front of the net just as good as a 10 year veteran. He's a great player and in my opinion, will fill in fine in the playoffs.
Same with Dylan McIlrath. Dan Girardi's injury isn't as serious as McDonagh, but McIlrath would be a serviceable player if needed in the playoffs. He skated for a team-high 22:57 and picked up an assist, and continues to improve in all areas of his game. When his time comes, he'll be a solid NHL player.
The Rangers will have to wait and see what the Islanders do before finding out who they play in the playoffs. Expect round one to start on Wednesday or Thursday.
Antti Raanta – 31 SVS, .939 SV%
Oscar Lindberg – 1 G, 1 A, +1, 4 HT, 16:53 TOT
Dylan McIlrath – 1 A, 7 HT, 22:57 TOT

Nectar mattresses are leading in the industry's sleep trial. Nectar goes out of its way in allowing clients a full 365 days to try their mattresses until they officially make a buying decision. Nectar remains committed to its customers and offers a free cover replacement anytime during possession together with a bed bug replacement guarantee.
If you're concerned with bedbugs, you'll be pleased to know that Nectar utilizes its Tencel cooling cover as a preventive measure against the impact of those frustrating parasites that prey throughout your most vulnerable state.
Nectar mattresses are made with materials which are bed bug resistant, promote heat wicking, and air circulation. Actually, the Nectar cover circulates fresh air all through the mattress with every toss and turn you create. In the event that you will need a fresh cover, all you have to do is call and they will deliver you a brand new, new cover without any fees!
Lush Foam; Three-inch layer gel memory foam: This next layer is distributes the weight all throughout. It functions to effectively minimize painful pressure points. This feature is a semi-open Lush Foam which holds five patents. Further, it is the industry's most premium gel foam. In actuality, this material is quite expensive to produce. It is usually manufactured for use in the health care field. Moreover, it directly absorbs, spreads heat out and recovers perfectly to its original, untouched state.
Adaptive hi-core memory foam: The next layer consists of 1/2 inch layer of elastic hi-core memory foam. You probably haven't heard of this material before since there are no other mattress companies incorporates Hi-Core Adaptive foam in their mattresses. Why? Since this material is heavy and expensive to ship. This premium adaptive foam is an optimal interior coating for genuine contour to a sleeper's pressure points. As an example, if a sleeper carries plenty of weight, then this feature can significantly improve their quality of life.
The sinkage quality of the mattress is striking on the middle. When employing a 130-pound substance to a nine by seven inch area, it tends to sink approximately 6 3/4 inches. Even for this, Nectar mattresses sink about six inches thus agreeing with the detection of a slightly firm product on the moderate spectrum.
The next feature we're examining is its edge support. This feature is often missing in other mattress products so don't ever think that Nectar does exactly the same. It will surprise you how well Nectar provides very firm base layers to support you. However many positions or areas you sit on, the mattress absorbs the sinkage. It is pretty impressive how Nectar maintains its level of support considering it's an all-foam item.
If you're sleeping with a partner who makes sleeping hard when they toss and turn, get in and out of bed, then a component you need to pay close attention to is the motion isolation. The principal benefit of this memory foam is its ability to impede movement transfer. You will surely appreciate Nectar's capacity to keep it at a minimum.
Mattress experts discovered how Nectar incorporated the Tencel cooling cover, Lush Foam and flow ventilation methods to expedite trendy sleep. By using the thermal imaging camera, they examined how much time it takes for mattress to cool down after laying on it for approximately 30 minutes in a room temperature.
Your pelvic region needs fair combination of contour and support. Additionally, using high-density memory foam comfort layers and foundation foam does a excellent job at providing your lumbar area what it needs.

Q: How can I get use cuda inside a gitlab-ci docker executor We are using gitlab continuous integration to buildand test our projects. Recently, one of the projects added the requirement for CUDA to enable GPU acceleration. I do not want to change our pipeline (docker and gitlab-ci are working well for us), so I'd like to somehow give docker the ability to talk to an nvidia GPU.
Additional details:

*

*Installing an nvidia GPU on our build servers is fine - we have some spare GPU's lying around to use for that purpose

*We are not using ubuntu or centOS, so we cannot use nvidia's cuda containers directly

*You can't supply the --runtime parameter to gitlab CI, so you can't use nvidia's suggested docker invocation. [ edit: actually, you can now. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/merge_requests/764 ]

A: There is now the --gpu flag on gitlab runner versions  >13.9. You should use those insetad. If stuck with older versions, read on.

There are multiple steps:

*

*Install the nvidia driver on the host PC

*Install nvidia-docker2

*Build a docker image with CUDA

*Get it working in gitlab CI

Note that if you only want to compile CUDA code and don't need to run it, you don't need to use nvidia-docker2, have the nvidia driver on the host PC, and there are no special steps for getting it working in gitlab CI. (ie you only have to do step 3)
I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with docker, so if I've mixed container and image I apologize. If someone with more knowledge wants to fix any typos about docker, it would be greatly appreciated.
Step 1: Install the nvidia driver on the host PC
YOu have two options here. Either you can use your host's OS's recommended procedure. This is easy, but will mean that the environment may differ across build servers.
The other option is to download the installer directly from nVidia (ie https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html ) so that you can distribute that with your docker container.
Step 2: Install nvidia-docker2
My current test PC is archlinux, so this was a case of using it from the AUR. nVidia provides repositories for several OS's, so see the quickstart guide on the nvidia-docker github page.
You should test your nvidia-docker installation as per the quickstart guide. Running from your host PC the command:
docker run --runtime=nvidia --rm nvidia/cuda:9.0-base nvidia-smi should run and output something like:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NVIDIA-SMI 415.18       Driver Version: 415.18       CUDA Version: 10.0     |
|-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| GPU  Name        Persistence-M| Bus-Id        Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr. ECC |
| Fan  Temp  Perf  Pwr:Usage/Cap|         Memory-Usage | GPU-Util  Compute M. |
|===============================+======================+======================|
|   0  GeForce GTX 106...  Off  | 00000000:02:00.0  On |                  N/A |
| 28%   39C    P0    24W / 120W |    350MiB /  6071MiB |      3%      Default |
+-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Processes:                                                       GPU Memory |
|  GPU       PID   Type   Process name                             Usage      |
|=============================================================================|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Notice that although I've specified the 9.0-base image, nvidia-smi reports Cuda 10. I think this is because Cuda 10 is installed on the host PC. The nvidia-docker documentation says that it will use cuda from the docker image, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Step 3: Build a docker image with CUDA
You should use the Nvidia dockerhub docker images directly unless you have a good reason not to. In my case, I wanted to use a docker image based on Debian, but Nvidia only provides images for Ubuntu and CentOS. Fortunately, Nvidia posts the dockerfile for their images, so you can copy the relevant part of their dockerfiles from them. I based mine on https://gitlab.com/nvidia/cuda/blob/ubuntu16.04/9.2/base/Dockerfile
The magic part of the dockerfile included:
# Install cuda manually
RUN wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.2/Prod2/local_installers/cuda_9.2.148_396.37_linux

COPY install_cuda.exp install_cuda.exp
RUN mv cuda_* cuda_install_bin && \
    chmod +x cuda_install_bin && \
    expect install_cuda.exp && \
    rm cuda_*

# Magic copied from nvidia's cuda9.2 dockerfile at
# https://gitlab.com/nvidia/cuda/blob/ubuntu16.04/9.2/base/Dockerfile
ENV CUDA_VERSION 9.2.148

LABEL com.nvidia.volumes.needed="nvidia_driver"
LABEL com.nvidia.cuda.version="${CUDA_VERSION}"

RUN echo "/usr/local/nvidia/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia.conf && \
    echo "/usr/local/nvidia/lib64" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia.conf

ENV PATH /usr/local/nvidia/bin:/usr/local/cuda/bin:${PATH}
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/nvidia/lib:/usr/local/nvidia/lib64

# nvidia-container-runtime
ENV NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES all
ENV NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES compute,utility
ENV NVIDIA_REQUIRE_CUDA "cuda>=9.2"

The "expect" command is will allow you to write a script to automatically accept the license agreement etc. automatically. It's probably not a good idea for me to post the install_cuda.exp file (because I can't accept the agreement for you), but in my case I accepted the eula, agreed to install it on an unsupported OS, did not install the graphics driver, did install cuda, used the default path, installed a symlink to usr/local/cuda and did not install the samples.
For more information on expect, see the man page [online man page here].
The inspect file is mostly made up of lines like expect --  "(y)es/(n)o/(q)uit:" { send "y\r" }
You should check you can run nvidia-smi test command for nvidia-smi using your own container. (ie docker run --runtime=nvidia -it your_image_here /bin/sh)
Step 4: Get it running inside gitlab-ci.
When researching around the web, most sources tell you that you can't supply the --runtime flag from gitlab runner configuration. Actually, according to this merge request, you can. To do so, you have to edit /etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml and add in runtime = "nvidia" to the right place.
For example, my runner configuration looks like:
[[runners]]
  name = "docker-runner-test"
  url = "<<REDACTED>>"
  token = "<<REDACTED>>"
  executor = "docker"
  [runners.docker]
    tls_verify = false
    image = "build_machine"
    privileged = false
    disable_cache = false
    runtime = "nvidia"
    volumes = ["/cache"]
    pull_policy = "never"
    shm_size = 0
  [runners.cache]

A: The --gpus all argument is supported by GitLab Runners since version 13.9:
https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/configuration/gpus.html

A: For the record, if anyone stumbles on this issue, since docker 19.03 contains native support for GPUs in the docker client, this method is now deprecated.
However, at the time of writing, gitlab-runner does not support yet this new API.
I've checked, and the old method still works for now, even if it's deprecated.

A: Check out GitLab 13.9 (February 2021):

GPU and smart scheduling support for GitLab Runner
Specialized compute workloads like those used in machine learning can significantly benefit from access to GPUs.
Developers can configure GitLab Runner to leverage GPUs in the Docker executor by forwarding the --gpu flag.
You can also use this with recent support in GitLab's fork of Docker Machine, which allows you to accelerate workloads with attached GPUs.
Doing so can help control costs associated with potentially expensive machine configurations.

6:00 PM EST. We faded the Bears last time out in a tough spot at Texas, but after cashing that ticket, it is now time to change gears, as it is Baylor that is now undervalued based on recent results. Kansas State is coming off a huge 74-67 win over its biggest rival, Kansas, and it also backhanded the Pokes at Oklahoma State 75-57. The Wildcats are going to have some appeal as a pooch, but there is a reason the oddsmakers made Baylor the chalk here despite the setback in Austin. The Bears are in such a strong situational spot, they're at home and they're short priced in an evenly matched game.

World-renowned painter Thom Tyler is murdered in Georgian Bay, Canada. The consensus is that Tyler had no enemies. Why would anyone murder him?
Detective Sergeant Eva Naslund goes to work with a homicide team from OPP Central. They find no useful blood, print, or DNA evidence. They turn to financial forensics and criminal psychology. Tyler's paintings are worth millions, yet he's deeply in debt to banks and his art agent. Just as the investigation opens a new lead, courtesy of Tyler's friend, J.J. MacKenzie, MacKenzie is murdered. The team is back to ground zero—with two murders to solve.

Coming in the next post: details on the OmniFocus Macworld Get-Together Thingie, Which May or May Not Involve Party Hats. Stayed tuned!
Error: A large (4-5 inches deep?) puddle was present outside Omni Group's office earlier tonight.
1. Wait for large amount of rain and power outage.
3. Exit Zoka onto NE Blakeley Street, heading in the direction of 25th Ave NE.
4. Note lack of lighting outside building, due to power outage.
5. Accidently step into deep pool of water next to Omni Group parking lot.
6. Notice wet pants and shoes.
7. Take sad bus ride home with wet pants.
Expected Results: Stepping onto concrete.
Actual Results: Stepping into deep puddle.
Workaround: Leave Zoka from the opposite door, heading towards 30th Ave NE. This workaround is not optimal, as it requires that the user navigate around University Village Mall in order to reach University of Washington's campus.
This is less of an Omni bug and has more to do with the COSFrameworks, as all we really do is take advantage of the easements provided (as do other companies such as Zoka) and when there is a decided *lack* of a leak such as the case here, well, the water tends to pool up and sadly there's not much we can do about it until COS fixes it.
I have heard tell that in future releases garbage collection may be able to take care of such problems, that remains to be seen as I doubt leaves shall be considered in this schema and I'm not sure if independent GC (as is done now) will be able to or be willing to accept the challenge.
A more simple workaround would be to cross Blakeley somewhere between steps 3 and 5. I see you have no step 2, which is puzzling and preventing me from reproducing this bug here. A much more complex solution would be for Omni and/or Zoka to move to another location (such as ~/Blakeley/ instead of /Blakeley/).
Thanks for the feedback, and hope that helps.

Boyer Fence and Deck has grown to be a reputable name in the fencing business, serving the Ontario homeowner for over 90 years. With a commitment to quality materials and workmanship, BDF takes personal pride in the construction of their fence designs. Boyer Fence and Deck comes from a long chain of family history and only plans to continue the growth of the family business.
Boyer fence and deck has been a name well known in the Kitchener-Waterloo region, with roots dating back to the early 1900's. Boyer Lumber was founded by Arthur Samuel Boyer in 1923 in his home town, Waterloo Ontario. This was the creation of a top-quality name in the supplier of lumber, the origin that gave the Boyer family their strong reputation and Premier Fencing name meaning.
Arthur's son John Boyer began working at the family company after high school. While the names and people changed, the reputation for quality supply of materials and installation of fence and decks remained at Boyer Lumber.
With the passing of Arthur, John reached out to his brother, Robert Boyer to join the company. The family pairing was a force to be reckoned with, increasing the Boyer Fence name and reputation.
Making the executive decision to put a heavier focus on installation, Robert rebrands the company and launches R.G. Boyer in 1964. The new Boyer company now did both fence and deck installation as well as renovations inside and out. Robert's sons continue to grow the Boyer Fence & Deck business by joining their father and working in between school and over the summers.
Hard work continues to pay off and Robert's son Richard Boyer takes over the Boyer Fence & Deck company. Richard, in turn, continues the family legacy and continues to expand the company.
Roberts son David picked up the leadership role in the early 1990s, continuing as president of BDF to this day.
Daniel is the fourth generation of Boyers to build fences and work in the lumber business. Joining his father, he began working for the company at the age of 13 and made his way up the Boyer Fence & Deck family business.
With his heart invested in the lumber industry, Daniel jumped into an entrepreneurship roll at the age of 22, launching his own company, Premier Fencing & Backyard Solutions which proudly carries forward both the Boyer Fence and Deck name & brand.
The success of his business has quickly grown, with a workforce of dedicated employees in Waterloo, and a new supply chain of cutting edge and creative building materials. With plans to continue expansion of the company into the manufacturing and installation markets Premier Fencing and Backyard Solutions, is developing at full force and the Boyer Premier Fence reputation remains.
Daniel's vision is keeping the Boyer Fence and Deck business alive. With his creation of Premier Fencing & Backyard Solutions he is quickly re-establishing the Boyer Premier Fence brand as a force to be reckoned with in the fencing business.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Carl Dreyer
Short Takes — Jun 10, 2010
Fans of Carl Theodor Dreyer's films (which really should include any lover of cinema) have reason to celebrate. The long-gestating website devoted to the Danish director, Carl Th. Dreyer—The Man and His Work, launched at the end of May and is now live for your perusal. It's a rich trove of essays, clips from his features and rare shorts (check out 1948's They Caught the Ferry—who knew Dreyer was a great action director?), interviews, film notes, and extensive galleries of photos and original posters. You can also search a database of what's contained in the collection at Dreyer's estate in Copenhagen, including original scripts, work papers, photos, research material, newspaper clippings, a book collection, and more than 4,000 letters (as the website states, however, the collection is still being cataloged, and an announcement will be made when it is complete). This generous and easily navigable site was made possible by the efforts of the Danish Film Institute.

Karst, GIS and geological hazard planning and management in Great Britain
Cooper, A.H.; Farrant, A.R.; Price, S.J.. 2010 Karst, GIS and geological hazard planning and management in Great Britain. In: Nisio, Stefania, (ed.) I sinkholes. Gli sprofondamenti catastrofici nell'ambiente naturale ed in quello antropizzato. Rome, Italy, ISPRA (Istituto Superiore per la Protezione e la Ricerca Ambientale), 243-256.

Official URL: http://www.isprambiente.it/site
The British Geological Survey (BGS) database of karst features for the United Kingdom include dolines, cave entrances, stream sinks, resurgences and building damage; data for approximately half of the country has so far been gathered. BGS makes and utilises digital geological map data, which includes lithological and stratigraphical information for bedrock and superficial deposits. By incorporating this digital map data with digital elevation slope models and karst data, BGS has generated a derived dataset assessing the likelihood of subsidence due to karst collapse. This dataset is informed and verified by the karst database and marketed as part of its GeoSure suite; the karst layer includes areas of limestone, chalk, gypsum and salt. It is currently used by environmental regulators, the insurance and construction industries plus the BGS semi-automated enquiry system. The karst database and GeoSure datasets can be combined and manipulated using GIS to make other datasets that deal with specific problems. Sustainable drainage systems, some of which use soak-aways into the ground are being encouraged in the UK, but in karst areas they can cause problems. Similarly, open loop ground source heat pumps may induce subsidence if installed in certain types of karst such as chalk with overlying sand deposits. Groundwater abstraction also has the potential to trigger subsidence in karst areas. GIS manipulation of the karst information will allow the UK to be zoned into areas suitable, or unsuitable, for such uses; it has the potential to become part of a suite of planning management tools for local and National Government to assess the long term sustainable use of the ground.

The final Super Sunday of the 2016-17 season promises to be an emotionally charged day of goodbyes for some clubs with some goodbye.
Hull need a win at Crystal Palace if they aren't to be saying au revoir to the Premier League, a year on from promotion.
For Tottenham, they face a long tough day as they play Manchester United in the tea time match.
This game will be the last ever to be held at White Hart Lane, before it is demolished to make way for a new stadium on the same site.
With no games in hand, Liverpool must win their match or it could be goodbye to their top four hopes.
Anything less than a win for Hull will all but mathematically send them down to the Sky Bet Championship.
Crystal Palace had a strong April but three defeats on the bounce have put them back in danger.
In the Premier League era, Palace have met the Tigers only seven times.
Both sides have two wins apiece but drew the reverse fixture earlier this season, 3-3.
Sam Allardyce will be hoping that the improved form can help them here, given that they have lost all of their home games this season against teams in bottom three.
The Tigers however have the worst away record of all the clubs in this season's top flight.
They have headed home with just a single win on the road all season long.
Marco Silva needs his squad to change that stat if they're to win here.
Hull's last two wins at Selhurst Park came thirty years apart (1985 & 2015), making this a massive ask.
Looking at the form of both teams, the fans have to be the twelfth man and lift their sides that extra notch. If Hull can get their fans in full voice, expect relegation to go to the final day.
Liverpool have to win here in their Champions League bid, with their rivals all having games in hand.
West Ham however are playing for Slaven Bilic's future.
The Hammers put a sledgehammer to Spurs' title ambition so can they strike again against another top team's plans?
Both teams are in contrasting form coming into this match.
The Irons are unbeaten in five whilst Liverpool have three wins in the same period.
Those three victories have all come away from Anfield so expect Jurgen Klopp to field a strong team here.
If look at this fixture separately from form, West Ham have won the last five clashes across all competitions.
With so much at stake, a draw here would seem the most logical option. The Reds however have no games in hand to play during midweek so victory is vital.
Given that stat, I am going to go against the wall and predict a high scoring draw.
After missing out on the title, Tottenham will want to leave White Hart Lane with their heads held high.
Manchester United however will be tough opposition here, after seeing their 25 match unbeaten league run ended last weekend.
United might be starting to develop a habit for being the final visitors to a London team, leaving their home.
Who want to bet that the Red Devils will be the last side to go to Stamford Bridge next season?
Last year, they visited West Ham for the final game at Upton Park, before the Hammers moved out to the London Stadium.
Fast forward a year and they will be the last club in Tottenham's away dressing room at the Lane.
Back to the match in hand.
Spurs have the upper hand here in recent years, having not lost their last two home games against United.
Their home form is strong with no defeat all season. How special would it be for Harry Kane and co to leave home without a defeat in their final season there?
Man U haven't lost three consecutive away matches to Tottenham without scoring a single goal.
This is their last chance to avoid another poor away day in the N17 area of London.
Jose Mourinho's record against the Lilywhites is poor with no win on the road since 2005.
With United having more to play for in case they don't win the Europa League final, I expect them to give this a good go.
The fact that Tottenham find themselves in a similar position to that of West Ham last season hosting Man U in their final home match, makes me think that we might be in for another mad Stadium farewell game in the Capital.
Emotions however will be key here and Mauricio Pochettino's players will deliver a beautiful ending to 118 years of drama at the Lane.

Your TEAM must go home each day, with complete satisfaction!!!!
Your attention to all the small details is amazing, each contact with the Company leaves me in awe!
We just wanted to say a big thank you for the wonderful experience you provided at our family portrait shoot. Your charismatic team made us feel so welcome and comfortable and we were amazed at how well you worked with our energetic and excited daughters, as well as us nervous adults.
You not only photographed our family but also created and captured moments of joy and love. The most enchanting photos were of spontaneous events while our daughters played together.
We never anticipated that viewing the photos would be an emotional time but it was a delight to see our family captured so beautifully. We couldn't be happier with the end result.
Credit goes to you and your team and how you were able to engineer these moments in such a natural way. To now have these to keep and view forever is a most precious treasure. We are so glad that we chose 'Family Image' to capture this time in our families life. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone.
their beauty, their love for each other..."
in a beautiful natural setting. Well, I got that, and so much more!
Your team of talented young professionals, quickly established an easy rapport with my girls, and that really shows in my girls natural smiles in the end results.
The Dural studio displayed nature at its best, offering a variety of differing photo settings, and that, coupled with an experienced team, made the photo shoot experience positive and fun for all.
The theatre style viewing studio with treats for the girls, was a stylish and special touch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Family Image Photography to others.
The photos of my girls are perfect, they capture their innocence, their beauty, their love for each other.
We will forever cherish our photos.
managed such a range of ages.."
What a professional time we had for our family photo session recently! We were very impressed with your team as they managed such a range of ages to result in such a great selection of beautiful photos. Such patience and friendliness paid off. Loved the viewing experience in the 'theatre' and the gift of the 'brag book' was the icing on the cake.
 Thank you for the Brag Book!
It's so cute! and will always remind us of the lovely photos we 'didnt' order!
The whole experience with Family Image has been wonderful. Brian you have a great way with people and made us feel relaxed and comfortable. I have given your name to several friends already.
"I would recommend Family Image any time!"
Thank you, you did a great job capturing those very special and rare moments. My kids really enjoyed the experience, I was surprised that they did but glad at the same time. It was most memorable and the photos will be treasured.
Loved the whole experience down to the viewing session, very well done. I would recommend Family Image any time!
"We were blown away with the creativity and quality of work that was produced"
Every few years our family have photos taken with a professional photographer. This is something we like to do, so that we have beautiful photographs of us through the years. Our last shots were taken by Family Image Photography now situated in Dural.
The photos are amazing, they show our family relaxed and natural in different outdoor settings.
These settings are so unique and what Brian has achieved creating these beautiful landscapes is just magnificent! Their new place is beautiful. Being photographed was a huge amount of fun with Brian, Kaylene & their team, we felt relaxed and laughed a lot while they created artworks with us in them!
We were blown away with the creativity and quality of work that was produced.
We are definitely going back to Family Image for our next photographic session.
Everyone has been so lovely"
Thank you so much for the beautiful brag book that you posted. It was a wonderful surprise!
It was so hard deciding on what photos to buy – there were so many beautiful ones. It's so nice to have a reminder of the day and all the photos taken.
We had such a lovely time having the photos taken and viewing them last Saturday. Everyone has been so lovely.
"We enjoyed every minute of it and are so pleased with the beautiful photos"
We had a wonderful time with the team at Family Image Photography. They made us feel welcome and completely at ease.
Having our growing family photographed was a very special occasion and the viewing of the photos at the studio was an experience to remember! We enjoyed every minute of it and are so pleased with the beautiful photos.
We will definitely recommend Family Image Photography to other families and friends!
"The photo's are so HONEST and captured the TRUE SPIRIT of my kids..."
We just wanted to say a Big thank you for the great experience we had the other day at our photo shoot. This was our second visit with Family Image, but our first at you're new Dural garden studio.
"We didn't want unnatural looking portraits and you managed to get it just right"
Thanks very much for giving us these lovely memories. We didn't want unnatural looking portraits and you managed to get it just right. We also had a fun afternoon, and would recommend you 100%.
"We must admit that we were rather amazed at how well they turned out"
THANK YOU for the wonderful photos of Michael and myself!
We must admit that we were rather amazed at how well they turned out. These photos are no doubt the work of a true professional, since there's no way we could look that good under normal photographic circumstances.
As you no doubt would have guessed, we were somewhat nervous about this shoot initially. However, your kind encouragement throughout the session to relax and to simply enjoy the shoot, succeeded - and we found ourselves rather enjoying it, in the end - especially splashing our feet in the dam!
We have emailed the photos you sent us to our family overseas (who gave us this photo shoot as our wedding anniversary present), and they are as thrilled as we are with the photos.
"Every part of the process at Family Image from the booking of the session to the framing of the photos is done such a professional yet family way"
Thank you once again for amazing us with so many beautiful photos of our family. This was our third visit to Family Image in 8 years but our first at your new Dural Garden Studio. We were all so excited to see the new studio and the boys were eager to explore and discover everything.
As with every visit we have had, Family Image has once again managed to beautifully capture some wonderful memories for us and helped to document the growth of our family. As you know each of our boys has a very distinct personality and every photo captures that perfectly.
As we look back at photos taken by Family Image in the past and those in past brag books and our new little one (beautiful as always thank you) memories of the photo session come flooding back as we recall every moment.
Every part of the process at Family Image from the booking of the session to the framing of the photos is done such a professional yet family way. Both yourself, Kaylene and all the staff at Family Image have made us feel like we are very much part of the Family Image family.
We look forward to creating many more memories with Family Image in the years to come.
photos taken, the day was so relaxed"
We would like to say Thank You for such a wonderful experience having our photos taken, the day was so relaxed and having a 10 month old baby can sometimes make things difficult but the team were fantastic with him and he loved the day as well!
We had such fun seeing what had been created that day and are so excited to collect our final images and decorate our walls with such superb photos.
I wouldn't recommend (going to) anyone else.
and Family Image were by far the best..."
Our daughter is growing up so quickly, I wanted to capture some real family moments for us to have for the future.
I spent a lot of time researching family photographers in Sydney and Family Image were by far the best. I didn't expect to see a beach scene in the middle of Dural. The landscape is impressive, cleverly designed to create many different photo opportunities.
We are delighted with our gorgeous photos and the brag book. Many thanks again for the wonderful 'stress free' experience.
Photography left us pleasantly surprised"
We had a fantastic time with Brian on our family shoot. The surroundings were inspirational and we knew it would produce some beautiful photos. We explored the outdoor studio and walked through sandy beaches, country style dirt roads and sat along the jetty that overlooked the pond. Every part of the shoot was relaxed, enjoyable and extremely fun.
Family Image Photography went beyond expectations with their friendly attitude, beautiful surroundings and the exceptional quality of the photos. Sitting in the viewing room, drinks in hand, we had the full VIP treatment as we selected our photos from the cinema style big screen. Every little touch to our experience with Family Image Photography left us pleasantly surprised.
"Thank you for a wonderful family experience"
We found having the family photographs taken a very relaxed and happy experience All involved were easy to communicate with and had a professional and confident approach and they gained the trust and cooperation of all of the grandchildren. We have already recommended you to several of our friends and I am sure when the photos are in place in our home they will be much admired.
Thank you for a wonderful family experience.
