There was no chance it wouldn't happen. And then it didn't.
"Coming in from high school, I thought it was going to be really easy to duplicate what Brandon Roy did," Pondexter said Monday as the Huskies get ready to face the West Virginia Mountaineers in the NCAA Tournament round of 16 game Thursday in Syracuse. "For you to actually earn it and be on this stage, there's no better feeling than that."
And Pondexter, along with his head coach, Lorenzo Romar, truly have come full circle - not only with this season, but also in Pondexter's UW career. He came to Montlake as a top-30 prospect nationally, and early on he lived up to every bit of the hype. He averaged 15 points during the non-conference part of his true freshman campaign.
"As people start to hear more and more about him, they are like 'That's right. Quincy Pondexter...that's right!'" remarked Romar Monday, adding that Pondexter's UW career started out with a much bigger bang than Roy's did. But at some point it leveled off. Something happened, and Pondexter's plateau mirrored that of his team; for his first two years their only sniff at the post-season was a half-hearted attempt at the CBI, a loss to Valparaiso at Bank of America Arena that the Huskies would rather forget.
While Romar never panicked, there was a voice in the back of his head telling him something.
"The day I retire from coaching, or they retire me, and if I never experience as a head coach an opportunity to go to a Final Four or win a national championship, that (2006 Sweet 16) UCONN game will always haunt me," he said. "Because I remember how close it was. We didn't get it done. If we would have won that game…every year you have teams that make it to the Elite Eight and they are telling their teams, 'One more! We're 40 minutes away!' But in our case we were going to play a team in George Mason, who made it to the Final Four and was overlooked by a lot of teams that year. And that's not to discredit George Mason at all, because they were an outstanding team. But there is no way we would have overlooked George Mason. Because we felt that we were the underdogs that year.
"That was our chance. And I know that there are many time…when we were sitting in that locker room that night after the game, I thought to myself I hope we have a chance to get back here again because many others have been in this position and never made it back.
"We just lost when we played Louisville (in the 2005 Sweet 16); the UCONN game was ours."
Last season, the Huskies rode their veterans - Pondexter and senior forward Jon Brockman - to an outright Pac-10 championship, as well as to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in Portland. They fell to Purdue by two points, an agonizing loss especially for Brockman, who had played in the 2006 UCONN game as a true freshman. He had tasted the sweetness despite, being big underdogs, and longed for another bite.
Pondexter had one more year to make good, and he has. It hasn't been easy, as these heart-attack Huskies have had to battle back from 3-5 in conference to win the Pac-10 Tournament and their first two games of the NCAA Tournament. In some ways, the 2010 campaign has been a combination of 2004 and 2006. "We had to win every game, in our minds (in 2004), to have a chance make the NCAA Tournament," Romar said. "Up until last weekend, it was more that way. Now since we have won the Pac-10 championship and are in the Sweet 16, it has changed face a little bit (to 2006)."
And now, as the Huskies ready themselves to take on a West Virginia team every bit the equal of that 2006 Connecticut team that featured Rudy Gay, Marcus Williams, Rashad Anderson, Denham Brown, Josh Boone, Hilton Armstrong and others, they have a chance to put themselves on a pedestal that no other UW team has been on since 1953 - an Elite Eight stairstep heading straight to Indianapolis.
"You're one weekend away from the Final Four," Romar said, matter-of-factly.
Pondexter appears poised for the challenge. He nailed a runner off glass with 1.7 left after a clear-out gave him a chance to ruin Marquette's own aspirations. And he's ready again, if need be. "Being a senior, it's something you dream of," he said. "And being a leader, you have to live with taking those shots, whether it goes in or doesn't. You have to deal with the pressure. And I feel like I'm that guy to live with that pressure. If our team is not playing well, I shoulder all the burden for that and say it's my fault. If our team is playing well - it's a team game. It's all theirs. I'm just in a real good position where I want to take all the pressure away from this team."
The speed bumps in Pondexter's way have been just that - bumps. And now that he's been through the ups and downs, the highs and lows that only a career at the highest levels of college athletics can give you, he's very prepared to take on that next bump in the road. And while he's on track to possibly surpass Brockman on the all-time UW scoring list (he needs 27 points), the man they call 'Q-Pon' knows he can't go far on individual glory.
"As long as our team wins, that's all I care about," he said. "Our team has found their niche in every way. Everyone is playing their role perfectly. We're really cohesive right now. "We had to go out and get the work done. And that's ultimately helped us play better basketball."
So let's go through the Husky Basketball checklist: Play Defense? Check. Rebound the Basketball? Check. Share the Ball? Check. They are clicking like no UW team has in a few years, and when you're playing this well the last thing you want to do is stop.
"The only thing (Romar's) told us is that it gets more fun each and every week you're in this thing," Pondexter said of the team's current NCAA run. "I think that's something that has really motivated us to continue to play in this tournament and see how far we can possibly go. From the media standpoint, from the rankings standpoint - we will be underdogs. West Virginia has proven a lot this season and have a lot better record than we do. But it's the NCAA Tournament, so all that goes out the window. We just have to come out and play basketball."
"Whenever you are able to be successful and you experience some type of championship success, you are excited for the time being, but there comes a point when you want to get back," added Romar. "And I think we're pretty hungry."
Romar is familiar with Bob Huggins: Both Lorenzo Romar and West Virginia Head Coach Bob Huggins know each other well. Romar ran with the team and became close to the Bearcats because he was with Athletes in Action in the early 1990's, which is located in Cincinnati. Romar also got his degree from the University of Cincinnati around the same time, and watched UC get to the Final Four in 1992. "I got real close to their program and have known coach Huggins ever since. It was a pleasure watching someone organize a championship program," he said. Romar also coached against Huggins and the Bearcats when he was Saint Louis. "We slipped up and beat 'em," he added. "They beat us more than we beat them, though."
So are the Mountaineers similar to the Huggins' teams Romar remembers at UC? "They are similar to a lot of their teams," he said. "I think their team with Kenyon Martin was the best team I've seen them have. The teams with Nick Van Exel and Corey Blount and those guys were outstanding teams also. But in terms of what they are doing and their makeup, their toughness - all that stuff…it's still there."
Defending the Pac-10: Romar was asked about the national perception shrouding the Pac-10, and if he wanted to defend the conference. He said that there were some early non-conference losses that added to a diminished reputation for the league. The Pac-10 has also lost 21 players to the NBA in the past two years. "The league was young, and as the league went on, the teams started to mature more, the young players started to mature more," he added. "But because of those out-of-conference losses, the league attained a label that it was down, and that label was never lifted. It was as if people quit watching the Pac-10 because they had already made an assumption as to where the league was. But I do think the league was better than was given credit for."
Facing WVU like USC?: Some have suggested that West Virginia is very similar to USC in terms of their size and athleticism, but Romar said Monday that the Mountaineers will present problems to UW that they haven't seen this year. "The combination of their length, athleticism, toughness and discipline on the defensive end is not something we've seen this year," he said. "You watch their guys - they are fundamentally sound defensively. They don't make very many mistakes defensively. That's why you have to run a very good offense against them or you'll have a tough time scoring.
"Defensively, SC packed it in and just motioned for you to come in. I think West Virginia is more tenacious. They have more of a defensive presence than USC did. And it was difficult for us to score against USC. But it appears that West Virginia is more aggressive in coming after you."
Pondexter knows Da'Sean Butler: As with Marquette's Lazar Hayward, UW's Quincy Pondexter played this past summer with West Virginia's leading scorer, Da'Sean Butler, as part of the World University Games team that won a bronze medal in Serbia. "He's a great person," he said of Butler. "We stayed in the same room in Serbia. He's such a funny guy. He's a good person on and off the floor. He's done great things for that team. He's so talented and he's hit some big shots for them. He's a real leader. I've been watching all his games and I've been really impressed with him."
Shooting the lights out: Romar was asked about the Huskies' shooting, especially during tournament play. During the course of the year, UW has shot .455 overall, and .338 from 3-point range, but those totals have improved to .539 and .409 respectively during their current nine-game winning streak, and .515 and .557 in their two tournament games. "I think everyone is a lot more familiar with their roles and where their shots are coming from within what we're doing, so obviously guys are a little more relaxed," he said. "Because we've shortened the rotation, guys understand more when they are getting in the game. When you are shooting, you can't have a lot of distractions, and I think that's eliminated some of the distractions. Guys have also put more time in shooting. Coach (Jim) Shaw has been getting guys to stay after practice, and they are shooting extra shots. They are putting the time in, and I think over a period of time that work has paid off."
Romar hoping for fan support: Romar remarked Monday how great it was to have so much fan support with the team when they were in San Jose. In fact, he said it felt the same as it did when the team played their two tournament games last year in Portland - a much easier place to travel to.
"It was no different in San Jose," he said. "We go out there and there's purple everywhere. When we were coming back from 15 down against Marquette, that place was loud. The Dawgpack may have well been there in numbers, and I know some of them were there. They really helped us. They helped fuel our comeback. They were there against New Mexico. It was great. I know our guys appreciated it.
"If we go out to the Carrier Dome and see a bunch of purple and be able to hear them like that? It would be a tremendous lift, because at this point with it being so far, we don't know if it's going to happen or not. But it would be a great lift."
He also added that he'd love to get all the support of all the Cornell fans that will surely be making the approximately 80-minute drive to Syracuse from Ithaca, NY.

Cruise was great
Sail Date: September 17, 2016
Reviewed: 8 months ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Balcony
The cruise was fun and relaxing. Only one complaint. Carnival needs to
control the smoking areas. We had smoke around our balcony every time I was
out on the balcony. That is very offensive to me. Fifth floor was so overwhelming with smoke from cascino that found its way to the staircase and shopping area.

Completely agree. Let me say, not saying that they need to ban smoking but it needs to be controlled. There are ways to ventilate.
The smoking-non smoking division in the casino is a joke, there are machines literally facing one another, full ashtrays in the non smoking section. The casino staff does nothing.
We could smell the smoke up the elevator shaft to the 8th floor.

With You
by Sara Miles
I work at a church, so every summer I get a fairly incessant barrage of emails from church youth groups all over the country asking if we have any last-minute volunteer opportunities for their coming mission trips to San Francisco. Can 15 or 20 of their teenagers come to our food pantry some Friday and work for us? Do we know about any other service opportunities, since they'll be here for three days and would like to do something for the homeless or other people in need?They are so nice. And I always feel snappish. Partly it's that our food pantry really can't take groups: We're just not big enough to have tasks for everyone, and I know what a drag it is for volunteers to stand around with nothing to do. But part of my frustration with mission trips has to do with my understanding of the Holy Trinity.
Let me explain. Samuel Wells, a theologian from Duke University and a priest currently working in England, writes about a new framework for understanding Christian service.
He's not interested in what Christians want to do, think they should do, or even actually do for the poor. He's interested what he calls, shamelessly, the most important word in the Bible.
It's sort of like a theological party game. What's the most important word in the Bible? Jesus? Love? Mission? God? Sin? Mercy? What do you think?
Samuel Wells—and here is where I think the Holy Trinity comes in—says the most important word in the Bible is . . . with. It's a trick question, but I have to agree: The most important word in the Bible is with.
The Trinity is, at heart, about with: about what Christians call perichoresis. This is the dance in which Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one being, existing through their mutual relationship. And God is always gathering all humanity into that undivided relationship, bringing us all into life with God.
Remember, at the beginning of John's gospel: "The Word was with God." And Proverbs: "When God fixed the foundations of the earth ... I was there, ever at play in God's presence, delighting to be with the children of humanity." In other words, before time began, before anything else, there was a with. And until the end of time, there is a with, as Jesus promises: behold, I am with you always. With is the most fundamental thing about God.
With. And so we open our worship saying: the Lord be with you. We proclaim that the Word made flesh came to dwell with us. We call his name Emmanuel, meaning: God with us. We bless our gatherings saying: the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.
Notice: with, not for.
Because God is not actually for us: except in my crazy, private triumphalist fantasies in which God, who takes my side always, will magically appear and smash my enemies. God is not doing nice things for us, like strangers on mission trips who appear, hand out random goodies, and go home. God is not for us in the sense that God is always going to be giving us exactly what we want, protecting us from illness and harm, and making us rich.
God is just with us. God sticks with us. Accompanies us. Delights in us, plays with us, suffers and abides with us. In trouble and in doubt, when everything goes perfectly and when things fall apart: God is with us.
In relationship
Trinitarian theology has a reputation for being difficult. But I think the real challenge isn't intellectual or doctrinal—"Oh, it's so complicated, how can three be one?" That's sort of like saying, 'How can I possibly be Sara who's Katie's mother and Sara who's Sylvia's colleague and Sara who's Roberto's neighbor?' Am I three separate persons, three Saras? No, of course not: I'm just one, existing with different people. All my relationships inform each other—who I am as Sylvia's colleague affects and is affected by my relationships with my neighbors and family—but I'm actually not three separate persons.
And the Trinity is not three separate beings: God only exists in relationship. With God's self and with us. That's the challenge. Because this understanding of the Holy Trinity, if we model ourselves on it, changes everything. Our lives as Christians must mean being with others the way God is with us. With, not for.
Doing for, as mission groups and lovers and parents know, is super-tempting: It's easier and often feels safer than being fully with. Let me act on your behalf, doing something for you as if my being were somehow separate from yours. Let me hand you a sandwich at a sanctified distance. Let me solve your homework problems without getting entangled in your other problems. Let me send you some flowers to apologize when I've been snappish, without having a real conversation.
Being with is riskier. If I wait and listen and show you what I'm really like, my life becomes implicated in yours: We are no longer separate. And I might get changed by our relationship.
Being present
Recently, I was at home working on a deadline. It was a beautiful warm day, and all the windows were open, and I was trying to focus on my writing and not get distracted. And then from the street I heard someone loudly wailing: "Help, help, help, help . . ." I looked out the window but couldn't see anything. I waited, thinking that maybe a neighbor or a teacher from the school across the street would respond. The wailing continued. "Help, help, help."
"Oh, man," I thought. "I bet it's just that drunk lady who hangs out on the corner, but I guess I should go down and make sure everything's OK."
It was that drunk lady on the corner . . . a puffy, bruised, middle-aged woman who bounces back and forth between the street and the hospital and the county jail without ever getting sober; who mostly either sits on the sidewalk and moans, lies on the sidewalk in a stupor, or passes out.
I'd talked with her a few times before when she was a little more alert and had been able to walk down the block. Once she wanted to chat about the baby she was expecting—this was a total fantasy, as far as I could see—and it occurred to me that she might be really demented or mentally ill, as well as suffering from alcohol poisoning.
But now she wasn't talking. She was just moaning. "Help, help, help." I asked if she wanted me to call an ambulance for her. "No," the drunk lady said. Did she want me to get food for her? "No," she said. Then she started wailing again—not even "help," this time, just moaning. "Wo, wo, wo, wo." She was crying. She was impossible. I couldn't do a darn thing for her. And so I just sat down with her while she wailed. I think I said something stupid like, "I'm sorry you feel so bad."
After a while she stopped, and closed her eyes, and we sat there some more. I got up to go home, and crossed the street, and she started crying again, and a neighbor came out of her house and addressed me. "This is very upsetting," she said, crossly. "I have little kids, and I don't want them to hear this. Can't we call someone to take her somewhere?"
"No," I said, "I don't think so."
The neighbor introduced herself to me, and she said again how messed-up and upsetting this was, and I agreed, and we talked together as she walked with me back to my front steps.
Abiding with others
Sometimes there is nothing to do for anyone. I hate that. I can't tell you how much I want to make things better by doing something for people, and how little, it turns out, I want to just be with them. Because if I have to be with them—well, then if someone is drunk and crying, and she just wants another person to be with her in her unhappiness, then I have to sit there. Or if she's upset and worried about her kids, and she just wants another person to be with her in her anxiety, then I have to stand there and let her see how useless I am. I'm scared about not doing the right thing, and I have to let my own weakness and neediness show.
Being with people means I can't leave messages for them on their phones at a time I conveniently know they won't be there. I can't do good deeds for them and go home. In fact I can't do anything for them: I have to abide with them and allow them to abide with me.
The most important word in the Bible is the most important word in our lives: And it is a word made flesh. God lives with us, just as Jesus lives with the Father, and we with one another, and the Holy Spirit, the very breath of life, lives with us all.

"Don't worry, just come over and I will buy the alcohol for you, better in my house than on the street"
"My dad took me to my first strip club"
"My mom dresses promiscuously"
I have heard many of these from the kids and parents I work with. I remember and still have friends whose parents party harder than they do! Lets look at the varying levels of partying parents:
1. Sober and Strict:
These parents (mine) do not allow their kids to drink, constantly warn against drinking, smoking, alcohol, drugs, and are keenly aware of how their kids smell/look/act after any night out with friends.
2. Open and Allowing:
These parents do not allow any drugs or alcohol with friends, but let their kids have a glass of wine at the dinner table, have let them smoke a cigarette with them to try it and try to allow their kids to test their own limits in a guided way.
3. Oblivious and Ignorant:
These parents do not really take an active role in teaching their kids about drugs and alcohol, either they have blind faith that their kids will make the right choices, they think their kids will never even be offered drugs or alcohol or they do not care either way. A very 'hands-off' approach.
4. Encouraging and Crazy:
These parents smoke with their kids, buy their kids alcohol for parties, let other kids come over and hang out to do whatever they want. They might even go clubbing or bar hopping with their kids and sneaking them in.
There are benefits and consequences to each type of parenting approach. And different things have worked for different families, so I will just provide the evidence, you can state your point in the comments!
-Having your parents encourage smoking and drinking makes it less rebellious or off-limits and maybe therefore less appealing?
– A study was done that actually shows parents who smoke have kids who are half as likely to smoke as well. Another study shows a similar pattern with parents who drink with their kids. Parents who give their kids alcohol, those teens are less likely to abuse or consume alcohol later.
-At least parents can keep an eye on their kids when they party, the attitude of "at least I know it is good quality pot (not laced)" and "I would rather have them drink under my roof so they do not drink and drive and I can watch them."
-Interesting bonding opportunities.
-Teaching them doing illegal drugs, drinking underage and partying is ok, if not normal.
-There is a fine balance between letting them experiment and endangering their health or safety.
-Putting your kid's friends at risk when you might not know where their parents stand.
-Becoming your child's peer not their parent, making it difficult to enforce rules in other areas.
I have talked to parents on both sides of the argument and in all parenting roles above, and I believe this is a very personal choice. I only encourage teaching about the following basic principles:
- Don't drink and drive.
- Don't ride with anyone who has been drinking and have a designated driver.
- Don't operate equipment, climb ladders, boat, or engage in similar activities, when drinking.
- Don't become intoxicated, know your limits and recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning.
- Understand that drinking under the age of 21 is illegal and smoking marijuana is illegal.
I have many posts on drugs and alcohol in my drugs and alcohol series, many of the pot posts have 'passionate' responses and this is a very heated debate. Feel free to voice your (non violent, curse-word free, opinions in the comments)! Which level are you?

Trading strategy: short around 1.2510 on hourly close below 1.2515, stop at 1.2570 (1% risk), objective at 1.2410
Risk still lies to the downside as the euro continues its bearish trajectory, retesting last week's bottom at 1.2520. The said support holds for now and a correction might be underway, but playing from short side remains a feasible plan - looking for short opportunities on a squeeze to mid 1.27 up to 1.2800, while the euro is far from technical levels that would indicate an end to the current downtrend. Intra-day sentiment is also bearish and first resistance levels are seen at 1.2600, 1.2670 and 1.2750. Potential break below 1.2520 would open 1.2330 - 4 years low. Current exchange rate is 1.2536 @06:09 GMT
Support: 1.2500/20, 1.2400 and 1.2330 Resistance: 1.2600, 1.2670, 1.2700, 1.2750 and 1.2800 Market sentiment: long term - bullish, medium term - bearish, short term - bearish, intra-day - bearish

Have a great weekend!

My first and best cruise ever.
Sail Date: September 16, 2013
Reviewed: 3 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Inside
I have no complaints. I always wanted to go to the Bahamas and on a cruise. It was amazing I believe I enjoyed the cruise the most. With all the different shows to everyones likings.The way your treated is wonderful. I'm always caring for someone and this trip I was taken care of. It's like they cater to your every need and if there was a complaint they took care of it very gracefully. Everyone was nice and very helpful and didnt try hard like most places. The food was amazing (buffets) everywhere, but didnt like the private dining rooms(Fairlady) The food is just not my type. I like to have more of a selection. Hated to come home so soon,but will be plaining my next cruise very soon. There was much to do on the cruise,you were never bored unless you wanted to be.
Thanks for the best experience ever.

Unable to live up to the hype that seemed to follow his autumn preparation everywhere, talented runner Atlante has displayed a keen turn of foot to win the Listed Drummond Golf Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley in a photo finish this afternoon.
Breaking from the gates well, the Fastnet Rock entire settled in prime position on the heels of early leaders Spirits Dance, Solsay and Le Bonsir, who set a notably quick tempo over the back straight and rounding the bend.
Appearing to be blocked for a run upon finding the final straight, jockey Dwayne Dunn led Atlante through tight gaps in the field, catching leader Trust In A Gust 50m from the line a poking clear to register an impressive victory on return; Lucky Hussler running on to finish third.
Understandably pleased with Atlante's ability to overcome unfortunate position late, co-trainer Wayne Hawkes laid the praise on a great ride by Dunn and was happy to chalk up a first black type win with the kiwi import in Australia.
"I'll be honest, I screamed from the top of the straight it was certainly not where we wanted him to be third on the fence, but gee his riding good, Dwayne," Hawkes said immediately after the Drummond Golf Stakes.
"When you're getting a horse off someone else you've got nothing to compare him to, but he's really well, looks great and the best part about it was when the blinkers went on he just went really focused and on with the job.
"No disrespect, he won the Group 1 New Zealand but they obviously are here for some black type in Australia and we got the first goal out of the road, but where he was going to end up, today was going to tell us which is a good position to be in."
Dunn delivered a typically strong ride on Atlante in the Drummond Golf Stakes, revealing he was pleased to have started his affiliation with the four-year-old in the best way possible.
"He's just learning his trade and I didn't know anything about him, so he's got a lot of talent, he's really raw so he's still got plenty to improve off that," Dunn said immediately after dismounting.
"It was a pretty solid race, a few scratchings probably brought it back a little bit but probably thought we'd maybe be at the lead or outside the lead and I was surprised I was back where I was.
"To his credit he came through the corner nicely and gave me a nice kick."
Included in nominations for both the Group 1 Epsom Handicap (1600m) and Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) through the 2014 Spring Racing Carnival, Atlante has now secured a commendable total of four race wins and two minor places from just ten competitive race starts.

Juries when assessing damages awarded to members of the public for unlawful conduct towards them by the police should in future be given guidance by the judge with a view to establishing some relationship between such awards and those obtained for personal injuries.
The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal by the Metropolitan Police Commissioner against an award of pounds 51,500 damages made by Judge Quentin Edwards QC and a jury at Central London County Court on 12 June 1995 to Claudette Thompson for false imprisonment, assault and malicious prosecution. But the court allowed the Commissioner's appeal against another award, of pounds 220,000 damages made by Judge Edwards and a jury at the same court on 28 March 1996 to Kenneth Hsu for wrongful arrest, false imprisonment and assault, to the extent of reducing the award to pounds 35,000.
David Pannick QC with Fiona Barton in the first case and with Nicholas Ainley in the second (Metropolitan Police Solicitor) for the Commissioner; Ben Emmerson (B.M. Birnberg & Co) for Miss Thompson and, led by Edward Fitzgerald QC (Christian Fisher & Co) for Mr Hsu.
Lord Woolf MR said that in such cases the jury should be told the only remedy they had power to grant a successful plaintiff was damages. Save in exceptional circumstances, damages were to compensate the plaintiff, not to punish the defendant.
At present, compensatory damages were either (a) ordinary or basic damages, or (b) aggravated damages, which should only be awarded where there were aggravating features about the defendant's conduct. (Special damages, in respect of some specific pecuniary loss, should be explained separately.)
Basic damages would depend on the circumstances and degree of harm to the plaintiff. Juries should be given an appropriate bracket as a starting point, to be determined by the judge after hearing submissions from counsel in the jury's absence.
For wrongful arrest and false imprisonment, the starting point would be about pounds 500 for the first hour of loss of liberty, with additional amounts thereafter but on a reducing scale, so as to keep damages proportionate with those paid in personal injuries cases and because the plaintiff was entitled to a higher rate for the initial shock of arrest. For wrongful custody of 24 hours about pounds 3,000 would be appropriate.
For malicious prosecution the figure should start at about pounds 2,000 and for prosecution continuing for as long as two years, the case being taken to the Crown Court, an award of pounds 10,000 would be appropriate. Where malicious prosecution resulted in a conviction which was only set aside on appeal, a larger award was justified.
Aggravated damages should be awarded where there were aggravating features about the case which would result in a basic award not sufficiently compensating the plaintiff. Such features included humiliating circumstances at the time of arrest or high-handed, insulting, malicious or oppressive conduct by those responsible for the plaintiff's arrest, imprisonment or prosecution.
Contrary to present practice, when making an award of other than basic damages, the jury should made a separate award for each category of damages.
Aggravated damages, where appropriate, were unlikely to be less than pounds 1,000, but would ordinarily not be as much as twice the basic damages unless the basic award was modest. It should be strongly emphasised to the jury that the total figure for basic and aggravated damages should not exceed what they considered fair compensation.
Where there was evidence to support a claim for exemplary damages, the jury should be told that although it was not normally possible to award damages to punish the defendant, it was possible in exceptional cases where there had been conduct, including oppressive or arbitrary behaviour, by police officers which deserved the exceptional remedy. Such damages were unlikely to be less than pounds 5,000, and might be as much as pounds 25,000, with an absolute maximum of pounds 50,000 for cases directly involving misconduct by officers of at least the rank of superintendent.
Any improper conduct of which the jury found the plaintiff guilty could reduce or even eliminate any award of aggravated or exemplary damages if it contributed towards the police conduct complained of.

I have had this disgusting mole on my chin for ages. It was so noticeable and kids would always point at it and ask what it was. Hair would grow out of it and become ingrown. There was nothing positive about it other than it was noncancerous. I went to a plastic surgeon to have it excised (at the same time as some restylane injections in my tear troughs). It is a little sore 24 hours later but it is so worth it. There are steri-strips covering dissolvable sutures, and a bruise has formed overnight. I would do this again in a heartbeat.
I Am Finally Rid of This Awful Mole! Long Island, NY
48 hours later
It is actually a little sore and I think the steri-strips are loosening when I eat. The bruise is deep purple now, which I sort of expected because I bruise just thinking about trauma. I am still happy with the whole process though.
Mole Removal Update
The swelling is better and the bruise is mostly dark purple but hasn't gotten bigger, so that's a plus. The steri-strips are starting to get a little loose but are still hanging on. I cut a loose part off that was just sticking out and the first few days I put a tegaderm dressing over it while I took a shower. The surgeon said they should come off in 5 days and I honestly did not expect them to stay on this long. Now I just take a shower and I figure if they fall off, they fall off. Once the steri-strips come off then I am supposed to wash the wound with mild soap and then put on bacitracin.

Some child-development experts and parents say decades of dumbed-down playgrounds, fueled by fears of litigation, concerns about injury and worrywart helicopter parents, have led to cookie-cutter equipment that offers little thrill. The result, they say, is that children are less compelled to play outside, potentially stunting emotional and physical development and exacerbating a nationwide epidemic of childhood obesity. — online.wsj.com
It's curious how much the ethos of the adventure playground chimes with the language of a new era of design today: a "participatory" process, recycled materials, an adaptive product. It doesn't sound like the 1940s. But equally valuable is the zone of exception that the adventure playground represents in the city — Guardian

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, commonly referred to as "Section 504", is a non-discrimination statue enacted by the United States Congress. One purpose of the Act is to prohibit discrimination and to assure that disabled students have educational opportunities and benefits equal to those provided to non-disabled students.
An eligible student under Section 504 is a student who (a) currently has, or (b) has a record of having, or (c) is regarded as having a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits a major life activity such as learning, self-care, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, working or performing manual tasks.
DUAL ELIGIBILITY: Many students will be eligible for educational services under both Section 504 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA/PL 94-142). Students who are eligible under the IDEA/PL 94-142 have many specific rights that are not available to students who eligible solely under Section 504. It is the purpose of this notice form to set out the rights assured by Section 504 to those disabled students who do not qualify under the IDEA/PL 94-142.
The enabling regulations for Section 504 as set out in CFR 104 provide parents and/or students with the following rights:
1. You have a right to be informed y the school district of your rights under Section 504. (The purpose of this notice form is to advise you of those rights.) 34 CFR 104.32.
2. Your child has the right to a free appropriate public education designed to meet his/her individual educational needs as adequately as the needs of non-disabled students are met. 34 CFR 104.33.
3. Your child has the right to free educational services except for those fees that are imposed on non-disabled students or their parents. Insurers and similar third parties are not relieved from an otherwise valid obligation to provide or pay for services provided to a disabled student. 34 CFR 104.33.
4. Your child has a right to placement in the least restrictive environment. 34 CFR 104.34.
5. Your child has a right to facilities, services and activities that are comparable to these provided for non-disabled students. 34 CFR 104.34.
6. Your child has a right to an evaluation prior to an Initial Section 504 placement and any subsequent significant change in placement. 34 CFR 104.35.
7. Testing and other evaluation procedures must conform with the requirements of 34 CFR 104.35 as to validation, administration, areas of evaluation, etc. The district shall consider, as appropriate, information from a variety of sources, including aptitude and achievement tests, teacher recommendations, physical condition, social and cultural background, adaptive behavior, physical or medical reports, student grades, progress reports, parent observations, anecdotal reports, and other sources. 34 CFR 104.35.
8. Placement decisions must be made by a group of persons (i.e., the Section 504 Committee), including persons knowledgeable about your child, the meaning of the evaluation data, the placement options, and the legal requirements for least restrictive environment and comparable facilities. 34 CFR 104.35.
9. If eligible under Section 504, you child has a right to a periodic formal or informal re-evaluations, generally every three years. 34 CFR 104.35.
10. You have the right to notice prior to any action by the district in regard to the identification, evaluation, or placement of your child. 34 CFR 104.35.
11. You have the right to examine relevant records. 34 CFR 104.36.
12. On Section 504 matters you have a right to file a complaint with the district's Section 504 Coordinator (or designee), who will investigate the allegations to the extent warranted by the nature of the complaint in an effort to reach a prompt and equitable resolution.
13. If you wish to challenge the actions of the district's Section 504 Committee in regard to your child's identification, evaluation, or educational placement, you should file a written Notice of Appeal with the district's Section 504 Coordinator after you receive written notice of the Section 504 Committee's action (s).
14. You may also request a hearing directly from the Massachusetts Bureau of Special Education Appeals in Malden (781) 338-6407. Specifically, you have the right to an impartial hearing with respect to the district's actions regarding your child's identification, evaluation, or educational placement, with opportunity for parental participation in the hearing and representation by an attorney. 34 CFR 104.36.
15. If you disagree with the decision of the impartial hearing officer, you have a right to a review of that decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. 34 CFR 104.36.
16. You also have a right to file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights. The address of the Regional Office which covers Massachusetts is:

Excellent....congrats on the purchase. Every able-bodied, law-abiding American needs an AR in their possession.

Nice choice. I have quad rails on my AR. I like em better than the m4 fat handguards or the normal handguards.

Great gun, I think RR is making the best AR for the money right now.
I have had my RR Elite for about a year now, its my favorite AR I've had, among a couple of Colt's and a Bushmaster. I wish I went ahead and got the chrome lined barrel though.

Great looking rifle!!! I wish I had the money for one myself but until then I'll have to stick to my AK. Good Luck with your AR.
Grab some mags and some mag guts(springs,followers,floor plates).
Think about what you want for ammo and other stuff to support the weapon.
We all need to be thinking about the future of the firearms buisness.
We have a gunshow coming up the 18th and I am starting a list of "soon to be banned/regulated" stuff. I'm not gonna go crazy on buying this stuff like I did during the clinton years,but will pick up a few things prior to......??? --------
glad I stocked up on mags a few years ago. I bet the gun shows will be asking more for AWB type gear now.

So, what should I look for as far as mags go? Is there a specific type or brand I need to get? Thanks.

Increasing blood and oxygen flow to the heart can strengthen the cardiovascular system and help the heart work more efficiently. Individuals with certain medical conditions and those with unhealthy lifestyles are the most likely to suffer from decreased blood and oxygen flow to the heart. Luckily, medical intervention and lifestyle changes can help turn this around.
Things You'll Need
- Cholesterol-lowering medication
- Anti-anxiety medication
- Gym, at-home exercise equipment or walking/jogging shoes
- Smoking patch
- Oxygen tank
Avoid medical conditions such as high cholesterol, which causes fatty deposits (or plaque) to build up in the arteries. This makes it harder for the arteries to send oxygen-carrying blood to the heart, increasing the possibility of a heart attack. Exercising and eating healthy foods low in cholesterol and saturated fat can help lower blood cholesterol, although cholesterol-lowering medication will probably have to be prescribed by your doctor to fully unclog your arteries.
Seek treatment for panic-disorder, stress and anger-management problems, which can reduce blood and oxygen flow to the heart. If you suffer from frequent panic disorders, your rapid, shallow breathing makes it hard for the the heart to receive enough blood or oxygen. Your doctor may suggest therapy or anxiety-controlling medications to help reduce the frequency of panic attacks. Stress and/or anger can also cause shallow, rapid breathing that, over time, can damage the heart due to decreased oxygen and blood supply. Deep breathing, medication, yoga and tai chi, as well as getting plenty of sleep and having a strong support group, can help individuals manage stress and anger.
Get at least 30 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise at least three to five times a week. Like your biceps or hamstrings, the human heart is a muscle and needs to be worked out. In addition to pumping lots of oxygen-rich blood to your heart during physical activity, exercising strengthens the heart and allows it to work more efficiently, even when you're not working out, ensuring that the heart always has a plentiful supply of blood and oxygen.
Quit smoking. Like high cholesterol, smoking causes fatty deposits to build up in the arteries, which means the arteries have a lot more difficulty pumping oxygenated blood to the heart, resulting in the heart receiving decreased levels of blood and oxygen. Talk to your doctor about ways to help you quit smoking, such as using a smoking patch, seeing a therapist or making lifestyle changes.
Employ oxygen therapy to increase oxygen supply to the heart. If your doctor determines that blood and oxygen flow to your heart cannot be improved through exercise, healthy food choices, controlling blood cholesterol levels or quitting smoking, you may need to use an oxygen tank temporarily, part-time or permanently, depending on how much oxygen your heart is receiving. An oxygen tank allows the individual to breathe in pure oxygen, which increases blood and oxygen supply to the heart and minimizes the side effects of poor blood and oxygen flow, such as muscle cramps, stroke, brain damage or heart attack. Oxygen therapy should be considered a last resort and should only be employed if your doctor determines that heart damage is extensive and cannot be reduced through other, less extreme options.
