An interesting goalie stat was thrown my way last week regarding NCAA products and the surprising number of them making it to the NHL and performing quite well. Below are the current goalies on an NHL roster based by their league of origin:
At first glance, that impressive number 18 proves what we already knew – there's a steady rise of European and Scandinavian goalie products over the last decade. Goalies like Miikka Kiprusoff, Niklas Backstrom and Vesa Toskala have not only made their mark since 2000, they have changed the entire world of overseas scouting.
But before this big international push arrived, it has been the Canadian leagues (QMJHL, OHL, WHL) dominating the goalie position at the NHL level. This all started with the advent of Patrick Roy's butterfly style, which single-handedly created a new breed of netminders.
Lateral movement was in and that meant a steady rise in the use of the butterfly style. It was refined and mastered by goalies like Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo, Jean-Sebastian Giguere and Marc-Andre Fleury. And to this very day, the butterfly style continues to dominate the goaltending position.
Lately there have been minor deviations of the style also making their mark, including the Quebec butterfly, hybrid and flybrid styles. These styles stretched southward to the United States, which actually lent a hand in some very successful NCAA products making it to the NHL. But what makes the Canadian-league goalies (in particular the QMJHL) so much more successful when compared to NCAA goalies?
Let's start with a simple fact that benefits both sides: In the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, five teams started with just a QMJHL product in goal and the NCAA surprisingly had three products labeled their starter - Tim Thomas, Marty Turco and Dan Ellis.
Thanks to the play of Ellis, Turco and Miller, you have to give credit where credit is due. The NCAA should no longer be labeled as an inferior "developmental league" when it comes to others. But there are still some major structural reasons why NCAA goalies will always play second fiddle to Europe or Canada and they come from the way the leagues are structured.
First of all, the NCAA season is only 32 games long (and played only on weekends). This is a stark difference to the 60+ game schedules seen in Canadian leagues. At this tender age of 16-20, the more a goalie gets to play, the quicker their game can develop. More games also equals more experience and more experience equals faster progression, so the fact that NCAA goalies only play a percentage of what Canadian goalies play turns into a major factor in a Canadian-league goalie progressing faster.
There is a minor upside to the NCAA schedule, however. Practices are often two hours long, as opposed to the routine 60-minute practices seen in Canadian leagues. As a former college goalie, I can speak from experience when saying that two hours is much more productive than one. Having 60 minutes to spend with a goalie coach is not only a boost of confidence, it's a better opportunity to fix little problems and improve weak areas. Those things can barely be achieved with 15-20 minutes of practice time.
Secondly, NCAA goalies begin their tenure at age 18 or 19, while Canadian league goalies begin at 16 or 17. The cut-off age for North American players to be eligible for the NHL Entry Draft is 20 and because of that, many NCAA goalies seem like "late bloomers" compared to their Canadian league counterparts. That is why so few NCAA goalies end up being drafted. If they are, it's usually in the later rounds.
Only Rick DiPietro and Ellis were selected in the top 100 picks of an NHL Entry Draft. Ellis was chosen #60 in the 2000 Entry Draft and Turco was chosen #124 back in 1994. Thomas was selected #217 in the same draft as Turco, but had to spend four seasons in Finland and Sweden before breaking the NHL barrier in 2002-03. Then Miller was chose in the 1999 Entry Draft but not until the 138th pick rolled around.
The big exception to this was DiPietro, who played for the USJDP for two seasons, then one season for Boston University before turning pro. He was chosen #1 overall in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft and despite some stretches of great play so far, he still hasn't turned out to be the Islanders' savior just yet.
So those two major structural differences between the NCAA and Canadian leagues is a big reason why you can count on finding the best goalies in the QMJHL as opposed to the NCAA. But considering all of the disadvantages that NCAA goalies go through, yes, it's quite surprising and pretty impressive that 14 of them are currently in the NHL ranks.
Feel free to dig much deeper with all of these comparisons and weigh the stats against each other. But that will only leave you with more proof that the cream of the crop for goalies come from Canada and Europe. But honestly, great goalies come from everywhere, and ultimately it has nothing to do with their pedigree or origin. It has to do with the fire in their hearts and the strength of their minds.
Next week we take an in-depth look at two NHL goalies with very different backgrounds – Brian Elliott and Steve Mason. Mason originated from the OHL and Elliott originated from the NCAA. Even though Elliott happens to be Canadian, it's still a great case study on the analysis of NCAA vs. Canadian goalies.

What hurts is when meaningful bipartisan legislation is trying to make its way through Congress and one of those politicians isn't careful where he or she steps.
Take the case of Steve King, a Republican representative from Iowa.
President Obama has made immigration reform a staple of his second term; as such, the so-called Gang of Eight, a bipartisan group of senators, have been tasked with writing legislation that Capitol Hill will pass. The minefield exists in the U.S. House, where King and some of his fellow Republicans are a wall of resistance against most forms of immigration reform.
In an interview last week with Newsmax, King claimed that undocumented high school graduates are "hauling … marijuana across the desert." The Washington Post, which has written about King's comments, used this headline on its story Thursday: "Republicans' Steve King problem."
Problem is the appropriate word. As the Post explained, the GOP understands America's changing demographics is forcing the party to reach out to Hispanic voters in future elections. That has to start now. A large segment of Republican voters are not fans of immigration reform measures that would include amnesty-style provisions. And King's demonizing comments only make the Republican Party's job of balancing these competing interests that much more difficult.
House Speaker John Boehner, of Ohio,said King's comments were "wrong," "hateful" and "ignorant," which they were. Virginia Republican Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, called them "inexcusable." Later, Boehner told The Post, "What (King) said does not reflect the values of the American people or the Republican Party."
The Republicans' King Problem has Boehner and Cantor in a mild, though unmistakable, case of damage control. Boehner is right to distance the GOP from such garbage. The lesson is obvious: Republicans have to stop insulting a whole race of people they're trying to court. If not, this won't end well.

2013 World Diabetes Day and National Diabetes MonthBy Kathleen Sebelius, HHS Secretary
Posted: Thursday, November 14, 2013
On November 14, World Diabetes Day—and during National Diabetes Month-- we join with individuals living with diabetes, their families, advocates, and health care professionals to raise awareness of this devastating disease around the world.
Combating diabetes is a serious public health issue. More than 340 million people worldwide have diabetes. Recognizing the urgency of this public health problem globally, this May the World Health Assembly adopted a global target to stop the rise in diabetes by 2025.
As the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans of all ages. Another 79 million adults are estimated to have prediabetes, a condition that places them at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
While we have made progress in research leading to improved treatment of diabetes, the burden of this complex disease continues to rise. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, lower-limb amputations not caused by injury, and new cases of blindness among adults in the United States. Diabetes also is a major cause of heart disease and stroke.
Preventing type 2 diabetes and its complications can improve the quality of life for millions of people and save billions of dollars. The direct and indirect costs of diabetes in 2007 were as much as $174 billion.
Yet, while type 2 diabetes is often preventable, more and more people – including young people -- are at risk for type 2 diabetes due partly to the obesity epidemic and aging of the U.S. population.
Currently there is no way to prevent type 1 diabetes, which is most commonly diagnosed in children and young adults. However, researchers continue their work to identify risk factors and explore preventive measures.
It is important to keep in mind the theme of HHS's National Diabetes Education Program for National Diabetes Month this year: Diabetes is a family affair. Diabetes strikes not only individuals, but families, communities, and our Nation.
Encouraging research shows that taking small steps, such as adding vegetables and fruits to your diet and getting 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity five days a week, can help manage type 2 diabetes and improve health. These lifestyle changes can support weight loss, which can go a long way in helping a person at high risk for type 2 diabetes delay or prevent its onset.
Involve your entire family. Cook a balanced meal. Share a brisk walk, talk with your family about your health and your family's diabetes risk. Schools, work sites, and places of worship can also be part of the diabetes prevention and management solution.
Preventive care is critical to improving health and identifying early signs of disease or risk-factors. That is why the Affordable Care Act ensures that, in non-grandfathered health plans, Americans at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes can receive diabetes screening, diet counseling and obesity screening with no out-of-pocket cost. Additionally, screening for gestational diabetes is available at no additional charge for pregnant women. In 2014, Americans cannot be denied health coverage because they have diabetes or any other pre-existing condition.
Initiatives such as First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s National Diabetes Prevention Program and the National Diabetes Education Program (a partnership of the National Institutes of Health and CDC) are helping Americans of all ages take action to improve their health and that of the nation.

GM everybody, good to hear everybody is doing great. I am doing my weights and cardio and almost eating clean. For my last free day, I didnt eat as much as I did a week before. So I felt good.
For some reason, since last week, I feel tired all the time. I read somewhere in the forum that getting tired during week 5 and 6 is common. I am trying to drink as much water as I can whenever I feel tired. I usually end up drinking 80-110oz a day. Hopefully, I can see a big difference on my scale once we pass week 8. Enjoy your day.
Good Morning Everyone! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! Started the day with a fabulous UBWO. Full upper body is feeling it today. It went really smooth, and as planned, so I can't really complain about anything with today's workout. Walked into the teacher lounge to find a large sheet cake. I looked at it but kept walking. Where I know I would enjoy a piece, it's not killing me to say "No" to these things anymore. The other day, a co-worker offered me lemonade. I informed her that all I drink on Monday through Saturday is water, but thanked her for the kind gesture. Living in the south, you run into plenty of hospitable people. However, you just have to be strong and tell them no, which can be hard at times, but it's gotten to be much easier.
Glad to hear things are going good for you Sireesha.
Take care everyone!
Greetings everyone, Wow, Great willpower and resolve MJelly and I can relate to the food friendliness and encouragement of southern hospitality, still they seem to respect my resolve to complete the challenge correctly and understand when it isn't in my plans or on a Free day. Way to go. Best wishes for everyone this week, I will be doing my first LBWO as soonas I get to the gym tonight, despite breaking in some new work shoes today on a tough floor, I'll manage I'm sure. Drinking water is important to all and please, everyone drink and stay hydrated during this challenge and hot summer to come. Also be sure to get enough rest to maximize your results from the tough training now. Keep in touch all and Keep Moving Forward thru Week 6 and onward!!!
Another wonderful day in the world of BFL!!! Had another great cardio this morning to start my day. I'm flying pretty high right now, because I'm feeling so wonderful about how things are going for me in this challenge. I'm finding it pretty easy to get into the gym every morning, and not too hard to eat as planned. However, my wife did make spaghetti last night, and gave me way too many noodles. I cut some out, but I still ended up eating too much. Oh well, what's done is done. I told her I'm glad it was Wednesday night and not Thursday, Friday or Saturday night, as I try to go no carb with those meals before the weigh in on Sunday morning. WPBill is absolutely correct on the importance of water. I think it is under emphasized more than anything else in this program. Drink up that good stuff. Flush your system and allow your body to grow!!!! Stay with it people...we're cruising right through Week 6!
Finished out the weights for the week with a nice LBWO this morning. So motivated that I didn't even mind having to lift legs today, which I normally hate. Hoping for a good week. One more workout and Week 6 is in the books for me!!! Keep at it everyone!!!
Greetings Team, Getting ready to go for my UBWO this week 6 and hope all of you are doing well. I had to work an extra day this week due to Star Wars Weekends at the Studio so I am getting a late start today on that but still I am determined to go forth and complete today to my utmost. Eating was a little sketchy today but I am back on track as of lunch today and taking sups to help out as well. Hydrate, and don't forget to get your rest this week as the energy level may be a little tough this week as we approach the hump part of the challenge. Hang in there and give it your all Keep Moving Forward and revisit your inital goals this week and evaluate your efforts so far.
Mike, I was trolling here for motivation this morning to get out and run. I just have to comment. You are awesome. You have so much enthusiasm! I want that! I am going to run now. Thank you. Val
Week 6 workouts finished!!! Wife had to work again, so I was up at 5am to get my workout in before the kids woke up! Had an excellent cardio to start my day off!!! Just finished make eggs and corn beef hash...for the kids!!! I'll be enjoying a Myoplex here in about 30 minutes for my 2nd meal of the day!!!
Thanks Val for your kind words!
Halfway point people!!!! Who's still with me?
Halfway point of the challenge for me!!! Enjoying a day off from exercising. Eating pretty well so far on my free day. So far, U'm down exactly 10 pounds. I've lost 2 inches on the belly and one inch on the waistline. Focusing the next 2 weeks on mywweek 8 pictures. Want more gains and losses! Continuing to hit this challenge head on!!!
Mike, excellent progress!! That has got to feel good! Are you going to post your before and afters? I really get alot of motivation from seeing what others have accomplished.
Wow, Way to go MJelly on the 10lb lost, not sure I have lost that much yet but I do know of about 4lbs or fat (with some serious muscle gain as well) and my BMI is dropping as well as body fat percentage (according to the Omron check). Clothes fit a lot better as well, especially the swimsuit and my energy levels are way up too. Hope everyone is doing well on this new week, Post and let us know how ya doin? Should start to pick up speed on all front this coming week and stay focused on your form as well as weights at the gym or home. Hydrate too and please take a moment to pray and consider helping thru the Red cross all our fellow BFL's in Oklahoma this week. Keep Moving Forward all!!
Happy Tuesday everyone!!! A stressful few days here at work, so I don't have much time to post, but wanted to get on real quick to give an update. Got a great UBWO in yesterday morning, ate clean all day yesterday. This morning, I did my cardio workout. Had trouble staying focused, but was able to finish it. Not my best workout, which I'm sure is due to work, but I'll hopefully make up for it on Thursday and Saturday cardio days.
I'm sure I'll post my before and after pictures at the end of the challenge. I use Week 4 and 8 pictures to motivate me more, and to keep charging. Life will get easier for me after this week, when I'm done with school for the summer. Then I can truly focus on the challenge and family for the final 5 weeks.
Glad to hear you're making gains Bill. I'm spending this challenge focusing on fat loss. I'll decide which direction I want to go with the next challenge, once this one comes to an end. I know I'll focus on muscle gain more, but not sure if it will be the next challenge or in 2 challenges.
Testing my will power to resist tonight by going to my niece's birthday party. I'm sure there will be cake!
Stay strong everyone! We're over halfway there!!!! Let us know how you're doing!
Well, it's been a crazy week here with it being my last week of school. I was able to keep trudging and get in every workout as planned, and I've ate clean all week. With that being said, it doesn't feel like I've had a good week. Guess I'll have to wait until Sunday to find out the truth. Now that school's over for the summer, I can put all focus on the remainder of the challenge and my family. Haven't heard from anyone other than Bill for a while. Hope you're all still with us. Week 7 is coming to a close for most of us. Can't believe we're almost on Day 50!!! Seems like we just started!! Keep charging!!!
Started Week 8 this morning with an awesome LBWO!!! Upping it on weight now and still maintaining good form. Legs are feeling it right now!!! Free day was good. Had to start taking Predisone for poison ivy and a side effect of that is water retention. Only lost 1/2 pound last week, but I'll trudge through this and keep on going! Results are what they are. I know I'll eventually get there. Just have to keep marching! One pound away from the 40 pound weight loss since I began my journeyon January 7th. Hoping to conquer that pound this week!!!
Happy Memorial Day to everyone!!!! Got to make this short because my gym closes early today and I want to get this last HIT Cardio day for week 7 but definately looking forward to Week 8 all. Hang in there , big changes are coming ahead for all who perservere!!!

Cedarville University
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why did Cedarville invite Soulforce?
A: We want to assure you that Cedarville University did not invite Soulforce to come. We informed Soulforce that our position is based on biblical convictions and is not open for change or negotiation. We strongly encouraged them not to come if changing our position was their objective. Despite our request, we were informed by Soulforce that they had included Cedarville on their itinerary. The ride included stops at 39 other universities as well. Even though it was not our decision for them to come, we determined to use their scheduled protest as an opportunity to present the biblical stance on human sexuality in a clear and loving way.
Q: Why didn't you just ban them from coming?
A: There are four main reasons why we prayerfully and carefully chose not to ban Soulforce from campus:
- First, their protest gave us an opportunity to reinforce the importance of being able to present a biblical approach to human sexuality. Our prayer is that our students and our entire University family are now better equipped to respond to this critical social issue in truth and love.
- Second, the presence of the protestors was an opportunity for us to share the gospel in a truthful and loving way.
- Third, logistically it would have been virtually impossible to prevent them from coming. Our campus is not a "closed" campus in the sense that we have no walls around us and no gate to shut. If we were to ban Soulforce, they could easily walk onto campus unknown to us in small groups. We prefer to have the opportunity to know where they are at all times and to better manage their interactions.
- Fourth, banning them from campus would allow them to gain additional media attention. We did not want to help them create a media frenzy. We desired to make the most of the situation for Christ's glory.
Q: How did you emphasize to students the seriousness of the protest?
A: The stakes are high from a spiritual and social perspective, so we emphasized the gravity of the protest. We are communicating to students that the Riders' goals are to influence opinions and change minds about homosexuality. To help our students understand and address the arguments, we held a series of preparatory workshops and also mandated that only students with a significant level of attendance at the presentations could attend interaction events with Riders.
We also know that this process is serious from an institutional perspective. Gay advocacy groups could affect Cedarville's ability to be re-accredited, our ability to make hiring and enrollment decisions based upon the Bible, and our students' ability to receive federal aid while enrolled at Cedarville. The Equality Ride was not a social event; it represented a spiritual issue at its core, and we emphasized this to our students.
Q: Weren't you concerned that having Soulforce on campus would pose a threat to our students, especially those struggling with same-sex attractions?
A: We were very sensitive to this concern. We remain committed to helping all of our students grow in faithful obedience to God's Word, and we seek to provide a campus environment that fosters this kind of spiritual growth. If you'd like more specific information about how this concern was addressed, please call Dr. Carl Ruby, vice president for student life, at 1-877-287-1943.
Q: How did Cedarville prepare for Soulforce?
A: Because this is a spiritual issue at its core, one of our first initiatives was a wide-spread prayer effort, open to students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, and anyone else who wanted to join us.
We also formeded a task team, led by Dr. Carl Ruby, vice president for student life, to help the campus prepare broadly. This included a series of chapel presentations and workshops that covered the biblical, psychological, physiological, social, and political aspects of the homosexuality discussion. Only students with a significant level of attendance at the presentations attended interaction events with Equality Riders. We also distributed the booklet The Gay Debate (by Stanton L. Jones) to every student.
Q: What was Soulforce allowed to do on campus?
A: We set very clear boundaries for the protest, and the Equality Riders honored those boundaries. The boundaries included the following:
- Riders were not allowed in the residence halls.
- Riders did not stay overnight on campus.
- Riders did not speak in chapel.
- Riders were not allowed to freely distribute literature, although we did allow them to make some of their things available in a controlled setting.
- Riders were given opportunities to discuss the topic of homosexuality, but the opportunities included faculty presentations on a biblical perspective of sexuality.
- Each Rider was accompanied by one or two trained host(s) the entire time that they were on our campus.
Q: What if Soulforce had crossed the boundaries of the guidelines you had set?
A: A team had been in place for several months preparing for this visit. We worked through various scenarios of how we would respond to any breaches of the contract that we had with Soulforce. We also communicated with schools that were visited earlier in the itinerary so that we can had very realistic expectations. Soulforce had honored the commitments that they have made in similar contracts. However, we had also developed plans for a wide range of situations should they have come up during the visit. If you'd like more specific information about how this concern was addressed, please call Dr. Carl Ruby, vice president for student life, at 1-877-287-1943.
If you have other questions, please call us toll-free at 1-877-287-1943.

I would only personally give it if he was in pain. If he is, have at it. Arnica isn't necessarily going to do a whole lot for scarring IME. What I would do (again....this is me) is use a calendula wash on the site and once it's starting to scab use tamanu oil to reduce scarring. I'd also make certain he was getting adequate zinc and vitamin E in his diet for cellular repair and regeneration.

West Coast travelers find budget-friendly beds and a variety of creature comforts at this friendly hotel chain. – In Short
Since 1958, Vagabond Inns have offered affordable lodging to leisure and business travelers. The California ranch-style hotels boast home-like comforts, with most locations offering free continental breakfast, free local calls, free weekday newspapers, heated pools and pet-friendly policies. Many locations offer business-friendly amenities like Internet access, ergonomic work spaces, microwaves and refrigerators. Vagabond Inn Executive hotels offer more business-savvy amenities such as on-site business centers, exercise rooms, in-room data ports and more.
On par with a homeless shelter – Don't waste your time, money or sanity at this dump. It is by far the worst hotel I've stayed in. The room stank of stale cigarettes, the shower had mold crawling up the wall and there was a bathmat that looked about 30 years old. The shower temperature ranged crazily during my shower as well. Not to mention the front desk offers "discount" tickets to the San Diego zoo. We thought we were being smart by getting the tickets at a reduced rice of $30 each. Turns out the front desk was smarter. When we showed up at the zoo, the tickets were only $28! WHAT A SCAM! If I could give this dump zero stars I would.
Oh, and never order pizza from a flyer that gets slipped under your hotel room door at the Vagabond Inn. These companies are fakes and cook the pizza in unsanitary conditions like their garage. Several customers have been known to get sick. Could this place get even worse?

MORRISTOWN, N.J., Feb. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Founders of strategic marketing agency 8fold, Jennifer LoBianco and Brad Leszczynski, who are athletes and avid fans of anything sports related, have just launched Off The Sled, a website that provides a unique look at talented and dedicated bobsled and skeleton athletes... candidly, off their sleds.
"Brad and I love the Olympics and after a trip to Lake Placid this past December we saw the magnitude of it in these athletes' world," said Jennifer, who also wrote about her experience on their marketing agency's 8fold blog.
Why Bobsled and Skeleton?
Despite the charming cow bells, lightning speed and electric atmosphere surrounding the two sports, they don't get a lot of attention or airtime, but these athletes are just as dedicated to reaching the pinnacle of their sport. They come from all over and unite as one to represent our country, and 8fold wanted to shine the light on their sacrifices and dreams.
"The teams aren't paying us to do this," added Jennifer, "we just wanted to showcase them off the sled so people can learn about them and maybe support them."
Who are the team members?
Unlike other Olympic teams, the members of these teams haven't all grown up living and breathing their respective sports. For every ex-collegiate football player, track star and weight lifter, there's a mom, army reservist and a whole lot of adrenaline junkies, just like Morgan Tracey, the 33-year-old lawyer from Champion, Ohio who is on the Skelton Development Team or take National Women's Bobsledder Jazmine Fenlator who is from Wayne, New Jersey. And here's another little known fact, Olympic Hurdler Lolo Jones is also on the Olympic Women's Bobsled team.
What's new on Off The Sled?
Everything! Designed to show off the personal and fun side of the team members, Off The Sled will share candid photos and videos, and follow the social conversations from Twitter and YouTube of these athletes. For example, you'll be introduced to Your Daly Nitro, a vlog created by Olympic Bobsledder Steve Langton and Skeleton Olympian John Daly, who reveal their smart and funny personalities on YouTube.
About the 8fold partners:
Jennifer LoBianco is a veteran marketing strategist, experienced in developing integrative marketing plans on both the client and agency side. With vast experience with both b-to-c and b-to-b clients, across varying industries, Jennifer brings her expertise to all clients with different business challenges.
Bradley Leszczynski is an accomplished Creative Director with a passion for solving problems. With a background both in engineering and design, Brad's unusual ability to integrate his left and right brain skill sets brings the optimal level of creativity and technical specificity to each project. He is driven to push the limits of creative potential for maximum business application.

In a statement, she said: "Today's announcement that participation in the labor force continued to increase while New Hampshire's unemployment rate dropped to 4.5 percent in March, more than two points below the national average, is another encouraging sign that our economy is continuing to strengthen, allowing businesses to grow and create jobs. To keep our economy moving forward, we must remain committed to addressing our challenges by working together on bipartisan solutions in order to strengthen the middle class, support job-creating businesses and encourage innovative economic growth that will allow all of our people to share in our success and prosperity." **************************************************How does RAISING THE GAS TAX qualify as JOB CREATION. How does raiding the existing supposed DEDICATED GAS TAX MONIES qualify as creating jobs? How does Maggie raiding the Rainy Day fund qualify as creating jobs? Raising Taxes and raiding funds has the reverse effect. It stifles jobs creation and forces layoffs as it increases the cost of doing business in NH for many NH Businesses. @Dan Tuohy Why don't you write an article that TELLS WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON IN NH FOR A CHANGE??? Instead of Kissing Maggie Hassan's INEPT butt!!!!!

NH is in for a RUDE AWAKENING once this happens, we will have LOST OUR TAX ADVANTAGE and you will see NH Companies leaving in Droves for a better deal from another State that will be happy to give them tax breaks to employ their citizens.

Just to make you feel superior to the other person that pays .99cents for it? Please. You make no sense.

If a company cannot survive without being propped up by government handouts then it should not be in business to start with.

Deb,I know, I just dissected a small part of what you were saying to prove my point from a previous…Read More thread. Mike, a very sad time we are living in. I just hate to see the middle class workers suffer these tax increases on business, because we all know that when a company gets hit with tax increases, they usually cut their biggest expense first, which is generally payroll. It's just sad how many middle class workers voted to CRUSH themselves. At some point I hope they understand this, but with all the lies and propaganda being spread by the left wing radical Democratic Party now in control, it's hard to ever get the truth. They just blame it on their "greedy" bosses because this is the bill of goods they are sold. Very sad!

I know of cases where people wanted non-roster firearms transferred and they just had a FFL register the frame with the SN on it. Gun Rights, your are interpreting my post correctly by saying what " CCW holders will often forfeit the battle even though they know they could win". I wish Aspir7n would chime in and personally clarify what is so sad about this. Many unarmed people are just as civilized and under control and will ignore an idiot or incident. I still stand by my original post that armed people are generally more polite. We back off of any situation that could escalate into violence. Gun Rights. As a RI resident I do not think I can loan a pistol to a MA resident or should I say a MA resident cannot be in possession of my pistol. I could be wrong and if so let me know. Not that I would ever do that because it's legal for me to loan my car to anyone but if they get in an accident I will be liable. Same with the firearm. Have a good day all. Spring is coming.

Henry Lee Rohrs, one of three sons of Rudolph and Irene Lucille (Behrends) Rohrs, was born April 14, 1928, west of Rohrs Station. Henry was baptized April 23, 1928 by Pastor Harder at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Johnson and was confirmed April 18, 1943 by Rev Henkel at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Auburn, where he was a member the rest of his life. He attended country school and graduated from Auburn High School in 1947. After graduation, Henry carried mail several years for the Auburn Post Office. On November 30, 1950, Henry enlisted in the United States Army. Henry served in Korea, before being honorably discharged on August 24, 1952. Henry was united in marriage to Darlene Johnson on March 27, 1951. To this union, two sons were born: Randall and David. Henry and Darlene made their home in Auburn. Henry worked for Nelson Quarries and then Hopper Brothers Quarries for over 30 years. Henry also partnered with Harold Parker and together they ran Rohrs and Parker Trucking, which would later become Rohrs Trucking. Henry then went to work for the Nebraska Department of Roads, where he would work until his retirement on May 2, 1997.

He enjoyed working on the farm and raising cattle. Henry loved working with machinery, especially the bulldozer. Henry was happiest when surrounded by family. On Saturday, April 12, 2014 Henry was rushed to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn, and from there to the Nebraska Heart Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Christian Francis Kleine, one of three children of Christian Henry and Dorothy Irene (Edwards) Kleine, was born September 9, 1932 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Syracuse >Food & Dining > Pastabilities
311 S Franklin St, Syracuse, NY | Directions 1320243.048621 -76.155525
Fri-Sat: 11:30am-11pm, Sun: 4pm-9pm, Mon-Thu: 1:30am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown
RUDE SERVICE-DECENT (OVERRATED) FOOD – This place is overrated, hasa poor to insulting wait staff and the manager "Gabe" thinks he's a pyschologist. DON'T GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT HEARTBURN, AN UNEDUCATED LESSON IN PERCEPTION, AND A WAITTRESS TO DISMISS YOUR TIP AS NOTHING WORTH LOOKING AT. THERE'S BETTER FOOD AT ANY GREASY SPOON.
an extensive review – Not sure why Pastabilities is one of the busiest restaurants in downtown Syracuse on the weekends. It may very well because it's one of the only ones. Not that there aren't other eateries downtown, but Pasta's certainly is one of the few that focuses on their restaurant, rather than their bar. You'd think that with that edge, and the fact that it is one of the few places in downtown that you can enter without showing ID on a Saturday night, they would have better service.
The Service: I've been to Pasta's quite a few times. I've always gotten mediocre service, at best. However, they are not alone in this. Syracuse, in general, really needs to step up their customer service. How about a smile every once in a while? Also – it's pretty crazy that they don't accept reservations. That aspect alone has kept me away from them on more than a few occasions.
The Food: The food at Pastabilities is fine, but not good, and definitely not great. If you have lived outside of Syracuse, you would know this. So, you may ask, "why do people (ie: me) keep going back?" Answers = 1) some local person (who always swears that Pastabilities has great Italian food) invites us out for dinner and we don't want to be rude and tell them otherwise, and 2) because Pastabilities has a large menu that caters to a wide range of patrons that want something that is about 1.5 steps up from Olive Garden. I think what keeps them going is their well-known Pasta's stretch bread and their spicy tomato sauce. That's what I go for. I also head back every so often because I know that picky eaters will be happy here, as the menu is simple and rather plain.
The Atmosphere: I want to end on a positive note. My favorite thing about Pasta's is their digs. It's a casual place (tee shirts and jeans are fine) and the lighting is very complimentary. The location isn't bad either. If you can't find street parking – try the Atrium Garage up the block on the corner of S. Franklin and Fayette.
Recommended for those that are afraid of adventure, or who really love stretch bread (which can be bought at the Pasta's bakery or at the Syracuse Real Food Co-op). However, we might just have to be rude to the next local that invites us out. There's only so much Pasta's we can take.
Students Beware – My son's girlfriend took him here for his birthday. It was Saturday night, and it was early. Although there were better tables, they were put in the dark back corner of the restaurant. Within 10 minutes of ordering, their food was thrown on the table....and they barely put their forks down before the plates were grabbed from them and a check put on the table. They didn't rush to pay the check since the goal was to spend a nice evening having a nice dinner.
If you're a student, have your parents take you here unless you are looking for a fast food experience.
Lame! – Love the food. But they close at 9 PM. Rediculous. Typical Syracuse.
Food Falls Flat – The first thing you will notice is that Patsabilities has a very inviting storefront atmosphere. The ambiance and setting for a nightly dinner are close to perfect for a bistro style pasta house. The service has always been great and while the waits have been long, they have never been excruciating. However, once have been seated and the meal begins, something else begins to happen. The wine offerings are extensive and of good choice, however, the menu leaves little to be desired with misguided offerings that fall very short of expectations and leave you wanting much, much more. If you are so bold as to buy-in to their offerings you will find food that has too much of all the wrong things. The pastas are too creamy, often very bland and if they have flavor, the flavors do not work well. There are two things that are almost a saving grace for the meal itself; the first are the salads, which have always been fresh and tasty. Second is the spicy tomato sauce and bread served before the meal but I am not returning to a restaurant for good bread and salads. I have visited Pastabilities three or four times simply because the atmosphere is so inviting and in hopes that I was wrong in my judgment with the previous experiences but the outcome has been the same every visit and I am sure I will not be back.
Great atmosphere-horrible food.
Great lunch spot – I work downtown and this a great place to get good Italian for lunch. I like the cafeteria style line for lunch, moves quick and your food is ready in minutes. Never had a bad meal here and you can atually eat a great lunch for $7-8. I did try to go down for dinner, but like most places downtown... too long of a wait.

Couple spends month eating on $1 a day
ENCINITAS — "Most of the world eats on less than a dollar a day," Christopher Greenslate said, spearing single grains of Spanish rice on his fork. "And we thought, why couldn't we do the same?"
Next to him, Kerri Leonard nodded. "It didn't start as a big statement — it began as a way to save money," she said. After a particularly expensive month this summer, they agreed that the magnitude of their food expenditures was ridiculous. Eventually the question arrived: Why not eat on $1 a day? So they did. Starting Sept. 1 and ending Sept. 30, they limited themselves to a $1 a day allowance for food.
As Americans, we can peruse a variety of food — healthy and unhealthy — with minimal effort, but that luxury is costly. According to Globalissues.org, almost half the world — more than 3 billion people — lives on less than $2.50 a day. Even at poverty level in the United States, $9,827 annually, individuals earn almost $30 a day. It is a tiny amount to live on, but it allows more than $1 a day to eat.
Despite the initial rationale for the "project," as they've grown to call it, the significance beyond the pocketbook is not lost on them. Greenslate and Leonard are English and Social Justice teachers in North County and vegan as well, so they are aware of the ramifications of their experiment. They founded a blog, Onedollardietproject. com, where they have posted a substantive analysis of their experience.
The first entry begins, "Today we start our 30 day challenge of a one dollar diet." It sounds optimistic and even a little fun, like a sort of high-impact summer camp. "When we first started talking about doing this, we didn't really have an agenda … it just seemed like an interesting challenge." Every day of
the experiment, either Greenslate or Leonard or both of them would record the experiences of the day, reactions, or unexpected problems they encountered. Additionally, they hoped to bring awareness to general poverty issues, urging readers, friends and family to donate to the Community Resource Center in Encinitas; which is still accepting donations. But most importantly, their experiment needed rules:
— All food consumed must total $1 each.
— No free or donated food unless it is available for anyone.
— The cost of planted food is factored into the total.
— Try to cook a variety of means; ramen noodles can only be prepared if it is otherwise impossible to stay under budget.
The price of guests' food comes from the host's dollar.
Armed with these rules, and discipline of both stomach and spirit, the project began.
Of course, they had to make dramatic changes. It began with handmade tortillas and ended with a squad of 10-gallon tubs of bulk raw ingredients. Along the way, they recorded the cost and reactions of every day's food, uploading recipes as well. But accompanying the Spartan tacos and tiny polenta cakes, several issues integral to they way we eat came to the forefront: consumerism and waste, global poverty, inequity, food choices and social psychology.
In addition to the recipes and general reactions to their diet, the blog provides worthwhile information about these tangential topics. For example, in one entry in which they bemoan the loss of fresh produce in their diet, they point out that there are no grocery stores in West Oakland. There are 56 liquor stores and one 99-cent store, but nowhere to buy fresh produce so the residents are limited to one diet model. Another vignette is a trip to the movies where, after spending $20 on tickets, they are only too aware of the sheer magnitude of messages for consumption they are being battered with.
Out of these discussions, and subsequent ones, they have fleshed out the ideas that underlay their project and developed a little following in the process. Their experience was discussed a few weeks back in the New York Times, and Fox News and other media have been approaching the couple. They also have a literary agent and a book in the works. "We have a number of experiments lined up to help us have a better understanding of the cost of eating well in America," Greenslate said.
The importance of this project lies beyond just their perspective; the appeal is broader than just the narrative of two teachers' experience. There are the health and whole food aspects to it, the cost-effective living aspect, and more, but the primary aspect is subsistence. "Food is a universal need: we all need food, we love food," Leonard said. "The thought of anyone depriving themselves of food — particularly intentionally — is kind of shocking. Food is something that is really important."

I wish I had the dedication of these two, personally i use slim easy pro to cut my consumption. It may cost a little more than $1 a day but it keeps me from wasting the ever-more decreasing value of the dollar on food. Slim shake by slim easy pro is what I use, you can eat for less than a dollar a day for 15 days with their free trial, plus they give you free atkins bars. I wish I would've known about them before i tried using slim fast, the taste is much more comforting than grainy slim fast, and its cheaper.

I sure do admire these two. I tried cutting my consumption with slim easy pro, but I got absolutely sick as a dog not long after that. I don't what they put in it, but I'm NEVER going to try that stuff–slim easy pro–EVER AGAIN!!!
I truly appreciate the effort taken by these two, but to me it does not make sense. I lived in India for a while, 1$ is equivalent to almost 50 indian rupees. 50 rupees is sufficient to eat three square meals a day, not as much as you one might want to eat, but just enough. 2.50$ is plenty enough when converted into indian rupees to spend on food alone, per day.
It's official, Encinitas has the largest population of kooks in San Diego County. Kerri Leonard nodded. "It didn't start as a big statement — it began as a way to save money,". Excellent then Kerri, it is still not a big statement, it's kooky. Barack Obama's brother lives in a mud shack in Kenya on less than $1 per month, why don't you try that in Encinitas as well. I on the other hand am having steak and eggs, because meat is murder and murder tastes great!
The way we are required to work in this country, the bottom line is that you need to eat. While these two teachers may be able to "starve" themselves through a month of teaching our youngsters on a poor diet, I would challenge them to try to deprive thier bodies of calories pushing 60 hours a week as a business executive or attorney in this state. While I admire them for thier dedication, I find it grossly misplaced. Nobody in North County sustains the high price of living here, well balanced with the time consuming task of prepping, sorting, and "seeking" out food alternatives. Way too time consuming – Gotta run….I've got a US VP of Sales up my rear end to put up some numbers so I don't end up in the unemployment line…and I'm out to find a $6.00 sandwich at Pipes before I run back to the office. Peace out kooks!

Family Matters—The Perez Tobacco Growers
For the Perez family of Miami's A.S.P. Enterprises Inc., tobacco growing is more than just a career—it's in the genes.
Michael Kaplan
From the Print Edition:
John F. Kennedy, Nov/Dec 98
The old man puffs heartily on his cigar, sucking at the smoke as if it is sweet nectar from his youth. Outside the Miami warehouse where he stands, the thermometer reads 100 degrees; inside, wall-to-wall with canvas-bagged bales of tobacco, it is only slightly cooler. But the man does not mind. Stoop-shouldered, walking with the help of a cane, a million years of working the tobacco fields seeming to rest on his back, he exhales a fragrant plume and he smiles. All his life he has been smoking cigars, growing and selling tobacco, feeling a strong attachment with the product that supports him. But last year, after his 75th birthday, his doctor insisted that it would be best for his health if he stopped smoking cigars.
He inspects the perfectly even burn of his cigar and, in a thick Cuban accent, says, I asked him if I could have just one a day. But he said no. The man, Silvio Perez, director of a $50 million-per-year tobacco growing and brokering concern called A.S.P. Enterprises Inc., glances toward a camera and strobe that have been set up near an artfully arranged backdrop of tobacco bales. It is where he has just had his picture taken. The photographer wanted us all to be smoking, he says with a shrug and a smile. Now, I can't waste the cigar.
Whether smoking cigars or not, Silvio and the rest of the Perez family men have tobacco in their genes. Silvio's son, 52-year-old Alfredo, A.S.P.'s president and chief executive officer, runs the company's day-to-day operations; Alfredo's son David, who's been interning at various tobacco concerns since he was in high school, is an assistant vice president and the head of sales; David's brother Joseph, also an assistant vice president, oversees the growing operation in Mexico, and brother Andrew is in charge of seed development. Together, the Perezes have transformed their modest family business into a tobacco growing and selling dynasty. Along with their partner, Universal Corp., a Richmond, Virginia-based leaf dealer that owns several tobacco companies, A.S.P. provides tobacco to almost 270 cigar manufacturers around the world.
Though the cultivation of tobacco has been a family trade for at least five generations, nobody could have anticipated the kind of success that would transform the current crop of Perezes into members of Miami's wealthy émigré class of Mercedes-driving, Rolex wearing, property-owning Cuban-descended businessmen. And, like all great cigar stories, this one begins south of Miami, in Cuba, on La Pequiña Cabaña, the Perez family farm in the town of San Antonio de los Baños, about 25 miles from Havana.
In 1950, two years after Jose Perez, Silvio's grandfather, passed away, Silvio's father, Dionisio, was the only one of 13 siblings who wanted to work in the tobacco business, a passion that was shared by his son. But with the rest of the Perezes pursuing other interests, liquidation of the family holdings was inevitable. After the land was sold to Havana-based Toraño & Co., Silvio was retained by Jaime Toraño to manage the farm and continue growing its candela wrapper. By the late 1950s, he ran five farms owned by Toraño and 35 others that the company financed.
Soon after Castro came into power, however, Silvio's life was turned upside down. On October 3, 1960, soldiers appeared at the gates of La Pequiña Cabaña. They announced that the farm now belonged to the government, not to Toraño & Co. But since members of Castro's regime knew that Silvio was knowledgeable about tobacco and an intelligent farmer, they made him an offer: stay on and cultivate tobacco for Fidel.
Recalling the degree to which Jaime Torano had initially supported Castro, Silvio refused to work under the new dictator who had snatched away his boss' farm. Silvio recalls one of the soldiers replying, Well, if you do not work for us, then you have 24 hours to leave. Silvio looked at the soldiers, looked at the land, and considered his options. If it doesn't hurt the revolution, he told the soldiers, I'd like to take my car, my furniture and my two pet monkeys with me when I leave. The troops agreed to this.
Silvio recruited a few friends to help him pack, and he drove to his mother's house. Putting his belongings into storage and securing a temporary home for his family, the 37-year-old Silvio quickly took advantage of a visa he had for travel to the United States (the Toranos regularly sent him to Florida on business) and he flew alone to Miami.
With the help of a friend, Silvio improvised a new life for himself. A manufacturer who is now deceased, Jimmy Corral, one of the big buyers of tobacco from Cuba, deposited some money into an account that he opened for my father, recalls Alfredo. Then he gave a working contract for life to my mother and father so that we could obtain the proper visas for coming to the United States. Other friends helped to speed up the process and [my mother, Olga, and I] left Cuba on the 16th of December 1960.
Although they were grateful to have escaped Castro, the Perez family was hardly satisfied with their situation. Few Cubans lived in Miami at the time, and Spanish was an alien language to the locals. Silvio's spirits may have been lifted one day when he spotted a small Cuban coffee stand near the just burgeoning Calle Ocho, but the dire reality of his financial situation was always driven home by the cigars that he was forced to smoke--Philippine stogies that were three for a nickel rather than the rich Cubans to which he had become accustomed--and the work that he had to do. How'd you like to go from working with tobacco in Cuba to washing cars in Miami? Silvio asks rhetorically. It was impossible to feel good. Those times were very low.

A Short Preamble
In this adventure of envisioning a school syllabus anew, it may be kept in mind that, along with all the diverse social and historical imperatives in the learning of English, and the complex issues involved in teaching it in a multilingual frame of
reference, the acquisition of a new language is also enriching for its own sake. The discovery of sound and its combinations in an entirely new formatting, the rich experience of finding new names for old things, the thrill of tune and rhythm in a different configuration of words, the sheer wonder of finding people expressing thoughts and ideas and feelings that are the same as one's own, yet different, and the percolated flavour of another culture, or cultures – another's way to living expression. The learning of English needs to be permeated with this enthusiasm to learn about oneself through another language. The challenge is to build into one's own multicultural heritage and see language as a facilitating tool.
The students of 12th Std can download the Samacheer kalvi of all syllabus in Both Tamil & English Medium in one link which is given below. All the syllabus are given in PDF format.

Although Chimchar has poor base stats, it can still act as a reliable lead. This comes from its unique ability to use both Fake Out and Stealth Rock on one set. Unfortunately, that is the extent of Chimchar's abilities, as it suffers from poor Speed and a reliance on Overheat to score important KOs. As a result of these drawbacks, Chimchar can be both easily revenge killed and set up on. Nonetheless, Chimchar is a solid lead, and can be quite disruptive when used correctly.
Chimchar is one of the better leads in the Little Cup metagame, due to the major centralization around the 15 Speed mark. With a Hasty nature, Chimchar outpaces other leads running 15 Speed and KOes most of them with Fake Out followed by Overheat or Hidden Power Grass. Because of this, it can prevent Stealth Rock from being set up without having to sacrifice a moveslot for Taunt, something no other lead can do. This gives Chimchar room for its own Stealth Rock, which it often gets the chance to use either after it KOes the opposing lead or if the opposing lead switches out. While Chimchar doesn't beat every lead, it will rarely be at a big disadvantage. Against Diglett, for example, it can still get Stealth Rock up and possibly disable Diglett's Focus Sash.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Chimchar has access to both Swords Dance and Nasty Plot, along with a big enough movepool to support the two, allowing it to gain some much-needed punch for its attacks. Unfortunately, its Speed does not allow Chimchar to take full advantage of these boosts, since it can be easily revenge killed. To make up for its poor Speed, Chimchar can use a Choice Scarf along with U-turn for some scouting. Unfortunately, Chimchar is still quite weak and is easily set up on.
Checks and Counters
Faster Fake Out leads, such as Meowth, Aipom, and Glameow can all negate Chimchar's Focus Sash and proceed to KO it with a STAB attack. Diglett is a problem since it can negate Fake Out with Protect and OHKO Chimchar with Earthquake.
Once Chimchar has done its job, a large amount of sweepers can set up on it, especially with its Special Attack drop. In particular, Dratini, Mantyke, Chinchou, and Gligar can take advantage of Overheat's Special Attack drop and set up on Chimchar with ease, while all packing moves that can easily take it out. Munchlax can easily sponge Chimchar's attacks and OHKO it with Earthquake.

Head to the Pond Hockey Championship This Weekend!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
There's a big game being played this weekend, and no, I'm not talking about football. The US Pond Hockey Championship is being held in Lake Nokomis, Minnesota. That's right, pond hockey. Outside, in the frigid air, baby! The way hockey should be played.
Those dudes who play inside? We know they just aren't as tough as pond hockey players. They can't take a beating.
Pond hockey pre-dates indoor hockey by at least a hundred years. People filled up a rink or just played on whatever frozen water they could find outside. The game actually goes back to the 1700s, and the whole world championship thing goes back to 1883. That's a full ten years before the Stanley cup was first played.
