text: Anguish of the Apostate: Second Thoughts Are Best by Adam Baldwin 1 Nov 2009 post a comment Share This: "Intellect loses its virtue when it ceases to seek truth and turns to the pursuit of political ends." – Robert H. Bork In a "Big" way, Andrew Breitbart has injected into our modern cultural/media zeitgeist a foundational reminder of why it is so intellectually critical, even fun, to inspire and embrace the notion that "there's nothing better than having convivial relations with people with whom you disagree." To that end, may I humbly share my own ideological apostasy and second thoughts that began in 1989. In that year, my oldest child was born and I found myself – as do many Los Angeles parents -- driving around the city to various 'play-dates', supermarket excursions, pediatrician visits, and the 12-miles-distant playground of the 'progressive' pre-school where my wife and I intended to enroll our children. (I also began more closely scrutinizing and fearing the withholding taxes from my paycheck increasing the governmental intrusion into my young family). It was during those hours of drive time that I would engage our little ones with music from a Raffi jingle or the Beatles on my car's now obsolete cassette player (yay, iPods!). When they'd invariably be serenaded to sleep -- in their child-safety seats with the Bert & Ernie steering wheel attachment – I'd tune in the Howard Stern Show on 97.1 KLSX FM radio. I'd been enjoying Mr. Stern & Co. for years, and found his provocative, often hilarious and creative show reminiscent of the crude, in-your-face counter-cultural style to which I'd grown so attached in my teen years during the '70s. A style (with all due and biased respect to Mr. Stern) innovated by his broadcast predecessor, Chicagoland's iconic Steve Dahl. "Shock Jock" radio's inherent vulgarities aside, for me its main troubles are the inevitable programming lulls. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and admire the challenge of sustaining a three-hour comedy and variety show in any medium – let alone without visuals -- and the herculean team effort that goes into such undertakings on a daily basis. Bravo! However, as any objective listener and talent might do, during those lulls I tended to channel-surf. It was during those car radio surfing safaris, in particular the nine-to-noon slot, that my fingers led me to KFI-AM 640 Radio. I began listening to what I first thought was just another loudmouth Shock Jock. Except this guy was different. He played little if any music beyond his bumper rotation. His material was intellectually-based, creatively entertaining, and unabashedly biased in ideological terms. As a young & liberal parent, I'd discovered Rush Limbaugh. I've been a dedicated listener ever since. Rush's countless words and twenty years of wisdom, provocations and humor is an inspiration to me and his tens of millions of listeners to read and investigate further controversial issues, current events, history, and philosophy. Most beneficial have been the corroborating authors and resources he admires and/or recommends to this day: from Jesus to Blaise Pascal, John Adams to Ronald Reagan, the American Thinker to IBD, John Locke to Mark R. Levin, Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Sowell. As Mr. Limbaugh distilled it so beautifully: "I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals. We are confident in our principles and energetic about openly advancing them. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation--the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people." How can reasonable Americans 'convivially' argue against that? The modern media ("Algore's Internet") has, Moses-like, led us to the promised land of instantaneous access to the widest diversity of information and accountability that mankind has ever known. There is no better example I know of human freedom. So, how should people take advantage of that, and what does all of this have to do with the Anguish of the Apostate? Hi, my name is Adam, and I am an apostate to the faith of Modern Liberalism whose 'anguish' has been relieved. Anyone with second thoughts out there care to join in that relief?

A plan to give low-income Nebraskans better access to healthy food is the focus of a bill coming before the state Agriculture Committee.
Omaha Sen. Brenda Council's bill to expand access to nutritious foods is up for debate on Tuesday.
Council says the Nebraska Healthy Food Financing Act is needed to lower health care costs, create jobs, revitalize distressed communities and open new markets for the state's farmers and ranchers.
The bill would set aside $300,000 in state funding each year to offer grants and loans to individuals and businesses that want to build, renovate or expand grocery stores in areas considered to be "food deserts."
The measure also seeks to establish farmers' markets, food consumer cooperatives and community gardening projects.

Home related - a gift certificate to CB2 or West Elm or go there and pick out some wonderful plain white dinner plates, modern flatware or great looking coffee mugs or barware. I recently bought a Georgetown graduate a set of glass tumblers with the school seal on them. Also a set of fresh white or navy blue towels from a great source like Restoration Hardware or Pottery barn is also a wonderful gift to someone starting out. Let's chime in with more ideas everyone as this is on our minds right now.

Nobody Goes There Anymore; It's Too Crowded
|By: cocktailhag Thursday November 15, 2012 8:00 pm
Although it's often difficult to select which current fever dream of the right is the most preposterous and/or destructive, since there are so many, the current obsession with the idea that, somehow, the UN (!) is going to force suburban Americans to crowd into dirty, icky cities with the Blah's and the other whatchamacallits is more than usually cuckoo. As so often happens large "market" trends have reshaped how cities are developed since the suburban boom of the 50′s and 60′s, and these markets have noticed two things: cities have gotten a lot more desirable as places to live, and more crucially, suburbs have gotten a lot less desirable.

I want to make bread
As the title says, I have an urge to make bread. However, for some reason it sounds quite intimidating to me.
I have a family of 5 (10 year old, 8 year old, and an 11 month old) so i want something not very time consuming.
I'd like to start with a basic white bread since grilled cheese and lunch meat sandwiches will be our main usage.
one other thing, I don't have a stand mixer, bread machine, coal, brick or wood oven or anything of that sort, so keep that in mind.
Now where do I start???
I'm sure you'll get far more informed advice than this, but it's a place to start.
I'm an on-again/off-again home bread baker and some resources I can suggest are:
1) www.bakerscatalog.com - The nice folks at King Arthur have lots of gadgets and other resources.
2) The Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day recipe is fairly loose and can be worked without the stand mixer. Not sure how it will translate into the loaf-pan type bread you're seeking. I may have to try it myself! The recipe is all over the internet. Please Google "artisan bread in five minutes" and you'll have an abundance of resources including a YouTube video.
3) A copy of "The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread" by Peter Reinhart. He does a FANTASTIC job of describing the chemistry that goes into baking bread. With this info in-hand, you can problem-solve issues rather than getting frustrated and abandoning your desire to bake!
re: Monch
One resource I overlooked!
4) Santa Claus - Ask for a stand mixer for Christmas! Clear space on your counter for it (don't hide it in a closet) and you'll find you're using it constantly. I'm partial to the KitchenAid bowl-lift model I have. However, search within CH for "stand mixer" and you'll get an abundance of fantastic opinions.
Ask for it for THANKSGIVING and your kids will be singing your praises for all the quick and easy brownies/blondies/cookies/cakes you churn out with that mechanized wonder!
re: Monch
What a wonderful gift for your family to make them homemade bread! Please don't be intimidated. If a loaf doesn't turn out quite as planned, call it "rustic" and serve it anyhow. ;-D
I think the biggest mistake you're likely to make is adding too much flour, especially during kneading. If you know a good bread baker who can show you the process once, it will be very helpful.
My best hint is to always use a kitchen scale. That will help you get the proper amount of flour, and every loaf will turn out the same.
And do take a look at this website:
This no knead bread, IMHO, takes the cake ... pun intended:
The white bread recipe on the King Arthur bread flour bag is quite good. I have the artisan bread in 5 minutes a day, and I've had great success with it for everything EXCEPT loaves in a loaf pan......otherwise it's a miracle. I also have the bread bakers apprentice. It's a little much for a novice. most loaves take if not several days, then an entire one.....for your first loaf make it a foolproof easy two one hour rise dough.....
I have none of the equipment mentioned and no troubles (although I do throw a piece of granite on the bottom rack - a few bricks or flat cinder block will work).
2 things on your list as liabilities are in fact assets - put the 8 and 10 year old to work with the kneading. your back will thank you and they get to be messy in a productive mom or dad time kind of way.
and remind yourself, if the first loaf doesn't work, you really haven't wasted much. most of the time is spent letting it rise and the baking.
re: JBethell
Count me as another admirer of King Arthur. I'd definitely start with any of the recipes on their website. The instructions are clear, often with photos of each step along the way. Here's a link to their foolproof whitebread recipe: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/R...
There are several websites that I use for recipes. The Fresh Loaf (www. thefreshloaf.com) has quite a few recipes both for people with equipment and without. A new one I came across is ccokingbread.com. I also have the Williams-Sonoma Essentials of Baking book, which has a lot of great recipes.
Please check out the recipe and video here:
Or, go directly to:
This recipe really works!
Since grilled cheese and sandwiches are your desired end results, try a French bread called Pan de Mie. Both Julia Child and James Beard have similar recipes for this excellent white bread. It will be more difficult to make without a standmixer, but the results will be worth it.
The recipes call for a special pullman pan, but you can use regular loaf pans covered with oiled foild. Then place a cookie sheet on top of weighted down by a a heavy oven proof skillet or bricks. The result is a close-rectangular sandwich bread that slices beautifully and improves on the second day.
This bread is a staple in our house for day after Thanksgiving sandwiches.
re: Pampatz
What a great tip about rigging a pullman-like contraption - thanks, I'm going to have to try this!
Yeasted bread still intimidates me so I just make a variety of breads which need no yeast. No need for rising time so quick and only require bowl, measuring cups and spoons, spatula, bread pans, oven (and a spice grinder since I make my own gf flours). Most of what I make are breakfast breads but there are some recipes for sandwich suitable breads.

Top Winter Beauty Tricks
Seven ways to break out of a winter beauty rut.
By Maureen Choi
Frizz Forecast
The '80s are having a moment as evidenced by the recent Debbie Gibson Tiffany Reunion Tour. Also making a comeback: crimped hair (with a softer touch this time), as seen at Costume National and Viktor & Rolf.
GET THE LOOK: Break out the crimper if you kept one from back in the day. If not, crib the styling trick used backstage at Oscar de la Renta: Zigzag one-inch sections of hair around U-shaped bobby pins, then set the wave by clamping down on it with a flatiron. Brush out to lighter-than-air perfection.

Neil Gaiman has always been a firm advocate for libraries, reading for pleasure and books in general. You may say he's biased, he writes the things he wants to make sure that he still has a market for his addictive substance. But in a talk given recently for the Reading Agency he elequently stated why he thinks humans needs reading, books and libraries.
On Planet Word, a four part series created by the BBC Stephen Fry admitted that he "…would not be who I am today if it weren't for libraries."
Fry's Planet Word Ep.4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b015h1xb
Libraries are:
- gateways imagination and innovation
- links toother ideas and other ways of thinking
- totally democratic and free to everyone, everyone is a respected patron no matter how small
- for very few of us, access to the world that libraries provide helps to create greatness.

If there's one girl who can defy a fashion dictat, it's Daisy Lowe. Take her latest red carpet turn as proof. The model poured her voluptuousness into a Gareth Pugh tube gown for last night's GQ Awards and well, WOWZER! See ladies, whoever said horizontal stripes have to be scary? Ok ok, we admit having a fine figure like Daisy's certainly helps but it's the way she's pulled it off that has Grazia Daily so beguiled.
For starters, La Lowe's never been one to shy away from flaunting her God-given assets (remember THIS, par exemple?), but what we're really loving about yesterday's choice is that it makes the most of her killer curves while maintaining an air of sophistication. Thanks to minimal accessorising and an understated beauty look, Daisy doesn't detract from the main event and as such, keeps things classy. Bravo! Plus, when you compare Daisy's approach to the very similar, yet saucier, vibe Rihanna worked on Pugh's FROW last year (below), her take on the trend is made all the more elegant, don't you think?
And it's really no surprise considering D.Lo's had ample time to polish the look. It was back in MARCH that she tweeted a pic of the frock, along with an excited squeal of 'I neeeed this gareth pugh dress! Arghhh its so good I'm gona vomit'. Of course, what Daisy wants, Daisy gets. And understandably, she needed those six months to ease the nausea...
Besides, Grazia Daily totally gets her hysteria - an evening dress that is slinky, comfy AND by Gareth 'goth god' Pugh? Oh, and Dr Who looks pretty smitten, too. We're sold!
But the extraordinary outfit has garnered some not-so-flattering reviews, too. One (very inventive) critic grumbled this morning that she looks like 'a grey humbug in a Morticia Addams cast-off.' Eek! So naturallement we're calling on YOU fashion savvy lot to take the matter in hand. Is Daisy's look a lesson in how to wear stripes? Or does it land on the horror side of gothic? You decide!

Hello, and welcome to the new official D'espairsRay thread!
This new thread has been set up in the hopes that not only adding more information to give to those who are new to the band, but bring all of the D'espairsRay "manias" together as well. The other thread, which can be found here, lasted a long six years and kept going strong despite it's lack of information. Six years since the thread was created, however, D'espairsRay has underwent many changes from their visuals to the style of their music. It was time for the old thread to get a major update.
D'espairsRay officially formed on September 9th, 1999. They are an industrial metal band hailing from Japan, whose foundation is built on the premise of despair and hope. They describe their own music as "hard, electronic rock." It incorporates and is influenced by several genres, however, including but not limited to industrial, metal, electronic, gothic rock, even pop. Currently signed to Sword Records, with well known bands like Vidoll and DuelJewel under its wing, the group has released several singles and EPs, as well as four full-length records; all while keeping a consistent lineup. D'espairsRay was also one of the first bands in the Visual Kei scene to reach out to their foreign fans.
D'espairsRay announced their immediate dissolution as of June 15th, 2011.

Bethlehem Elementary
students celebrate
By Jason A. Smith
Fifth-graders at Bethlehem Elementary School put their classroom instruction – and their principal -- to the test last week, with help from a pair of boats the students built themselves.
Twenty-five students in the school's Gifted Program unveiled the 18-foot canoes Friday at the Cubihatcha Educational Center in Locust Grove, as part of "Float Your Boat Day. The highlight of the day was when the school's principal, Dr. Jessalyn Askew, took to the water in one of the boats her students had made.
"The first thing they said was, 'Oh my, we actually built a boat," said Askew. "It's almost overwhelming from the standpoint that the students could take on a project of that magnitude and it turned out beautifully. So I'm just ecstatic. It's so amazing."
Two teams of students, armed with a blueprint, completed the boats using the Talented and Gifted education model, or TAG. Askew, who floated in a boat the students named "Riptide," said she had confidence in the group's abilities, even before she got into her boat.
"I just thought it was an amazing opportunity for the students to build an 18-foot boat, connecting real-world experiences to various content that they're learning," she said. "I trusted the students. I told the students, 'I believe in you. I didn't even bring extra clothes and I was keeping my pearls on because I knew they weren't going to get wet.'"
Askew said in addition to building a boat, the kids picked up valuable, real-world skills.
"A lot of problem solving and a lot of cooperative learning went into building the boats," she said. "The students had to work through a lot of things to get the task accomplished."
The students' original goal was to debut the boats on May 9 as part of National STEM Day. STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The unveiling was pushed back a week due to the students' trip to Washington, D.C., May 2-5. Friday's event was the culmination of five weeks of preparation and construction, said Bethlehem Elementary's Gifted Collaborative Support Teacher, Cheryl Gerber.
"The TAG model is where the students are clustered together along with other students who are able to excel in the classroom, and they are accelerated in math and reading," said Gerber. "They will be taught with standards from their current grade level and part of the standards from the next grade level. Also, they have an exploratory period where they can explore topics that are of interest to them. That's how the boat-building project came into play."
Gerber floated in the second boat designed by the students, called the "Water Phoenix." She said students were mentored by representatives from three area companies as part of the boat-building effort.
"The materials for each canoe costs approximately $1,200 and we have been very fortunate to have businesses such as Home Depot, Smith Bailey Restoration and EnviroTech to donate the materials and mentor our students," said Gerber. "It wasn't a cheap project, so we can't thank them enough. They were just awesome."
Gerber said the school plans to auction off one of the boats to raise money to improve its technology programs.

Fender's own amp manager Rick Heins and electric guitar product specialist Allen Abbassi were on hand at NAMM's Idea Center on Wednesday to talk about the new Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster Plus.
The Stratocaster Plus, which was displayed to the media in the frosty Mystic Ice Blue, wowed several observers with its ability to change the way it plays by swapping analog personality cards. Each card in the pack that comes with the guitar is geared toward different modifications, like cutting the treble or bass, or blending the pickups. It actually makes for three Strats in one by easily switching out the cards.
In addition, Abbassi showed off the 60th Anniversary 1954 American Vintage Stratocaster, which will only be available in 1,954 units.
Throughout NAMM, Fender is celebrating the past and present of the iconic Stratocaster. But Fender's showing at the Idea Center certainly kept an eye on the Strat's future, as well.

Tony Stewart has not yet decided whether he will drive in this weekend's NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, a team spokesman said Monday.
Stewart pulled out of Sunday's NASCAR race in Watkins Glen, New York, after his car struck and killed a 20-year-old driver, Kevin Ward Jr., while Ward was on foot during a sprint-car race Saturday night in upstate New York.
After contact with Stewart's car caused Ward's car to crash, Ward climbed from his car and was standing on the track and gesturing toward Stewart when Stewart's car hit him.
Stewart, who co-owns his NASCAR team Stewart-Haas Racing, "will have as much time as he needs to make that decision" about racing Sunday in Michigan, Stewart-Haas spokesman Mike Arning said in an email.
"It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included," Arning said. "He is grieving, and grief doesn't have a timetable."
Ward died of blunt-force trauma, an autopsy determined.
Ontario County, New York, Sheriff Philip Povero said the autopsy was completed Monday.
Authorities questioned Stewart on Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. Povero said Monday there were no plans "at this time" to talk to him again.
There is no timetable to complete the investigation. Povero said there is nothing in the inquiry that supports criminal conduct or probable cause. He said there was no camera in Stewart's car.
During the dirt-track race, Ward's car spun twice like a top, wheels hugging the wall, before it plopped backward on the dimly lit dirt track.
In a sport steeped with bravado, what happened next was a familiar, but treacherous, move: Wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, Ward unbuckled himself, climbed out of the winged car into the night and defiantly walked onto the track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
He gestured, making his disgust evident with the driver who triggered the wreck with a bump: Stewart, who often races in sprint cars on dirt tracks. Many NASCAR drivers, including Stewart, got their start on the short ovals.
Ward, a relative unknown compared with NASCAR's noted swashbuckler, was nearly hit by another passing car as he pointed with his right arm in Stewart's direction. As he confronted Stewart in his passing car, disaster struck.
Ward was standing to the right of Stewart's No. 14 car, which seemed to fishtail from the rear and hit him. According to video and witness accounts, Ward was sucked underneath the car and hurtled through the air before landing on his back as fans looked on in horror.
The crash raised several questions: Will Ward's death cause drivers to think twice about on-track confrontations? Did Stewart try to send his own message by buzzing Ward, only to have his risky move turn fatal? Or did Ward simply take his life into his own hands by stepping into traffic in a black firesuit on a dark track?
The only one who may have that answer is Stewart.
David Weinsten, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is now in private practice, said it would be difficult to prove criminal intent.
"I think even with the video, it's going to be tough to prove that this was more than just an accident and that it was even culpable negligence, which he should've known or should've believed that by getting close to this guy, that it was going to cause the accident," he said.
Driver Cory Sparks, a friend of Ward's, was a few cars back when Ward was killed. "The timing was unsafe," he said of Ward's decision to get out of his car to confront Stewart. "When your adrenaline is going, and you're taken out of a race, your emotions flare."
It's often just a part of racing. Drivers from mild-mannered Jeff Gordon to Danica Patrick have erupted in anger on the track at another driver. The confrontations are part of the sport's allure: Fans love it and cheer wildly from the stands. Stewart, who has a reputation for being a hothead nicknamed "Smoke," once wound up like a pitcher and tossed his helmet like a fastball at Matt Kenseth's windshield.
Saturday's crash came almost exactly a year after Stewart suffered a compound fracture to his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa.

Google screams into top Opera soprano gig - again
Google will continue to serve as the default search engine for Opera Software's web browser for another two years, the Norway-based company confirmed today. The partnership between the ad giant and Opera applies to the outfit's mobile and desktop versions of its browser. Like other software of its ilk, Opera provides a little …
Supporting browser innovation
Good to hear that Opera was able to re-up with them, despite Google's ongoing attacks at discrediting Opera usage...which is, frankly, weird to behold.
Google continues releasing updated services that break in Opera and it takes 6 months of "consultation" to get it right? Sure. (And pundits wonder why Opera desktop share stays stagnated despite their phone/tablet share is booming?)
Btw, if you're worried about your 3G/4G data ceiling, try out Opera Mini with it's built-in 80% compression. Amazing cloud browsing innovation that remains under-utilized by most mobile users.
Re: Supporting browser innovation
Indeed, most Opera users are masking as other browsers to use some of the big sites that send broken content to Opera, simply because it's Opera. Masking as Firerfox and lettng Opera recieve FF code works 99.9% of the time, but it sways web stats.
And stop nagging Opera users to switch to Chrome
Getting fed up of the nagging (refer http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07/05/google_opera_scare/) and no, I'm not going to switch so stop already!
In any search box:
Right click --> create search
Create searches for ixquick; duckduckgo; IMDB; wikipedia etc; then get rid of the Google search. Job done.
If only you could on Opera Mobile. It defaults to Google on every run and you can't delete it.
At least you can add other search engines.
In Opera Mini it adds 2 more presses for me. In Mobile it adds 4. (to switch from Google to whatever search engine I actually want to use)
Downvoted by Opera fanbois or Google fanbois?
Hard to tell. I thought we were being helpful, myself. As far as I know, I'm not obliged to honour any deal between Opera and Google; even if I am seeing an indirect benefit by using the free browser.
I was just stating fact :o
I would've thought that the Opera fanatic would at least appreciate that I actually use Opera?

A FAMILY-run business has been left devastated after the theft of thousands of pounds worth of fireworks.
Bright Sparks Fireworks, which specialises in professional displays and the sale of retail fireworks, based on the Wrexham Industrial Estate, was broken into overnight on Tuesday.
Police are now appealing for information.
The business is run by brothers Daniel and Stefan Williams.
Their younger brother David Williams, from Chirk, works there part-time.
David said the theft has left them reeling.
"All of our fireworks, all of our stock, about £3,000 worth, has been taken.
"It's pretty devastating and we're all absolutely gutted to be honest.
"We are a display company and have only been running for a couple of years. We began selling fireworks last November.
"This has hit us hard as the stock was either on sale or due to be returned – so we will be losing out on a lot of money we haven't really got.
"It looks like six containers have been broken into. They've wiped nearly everything out. A trail of boxes was left – along with a sledgehammer.
"They must have used some sort of a grinder too otherwise they wouldn't have been able to get through the lock.
"It's hard to put a number on the quantity taken but they were all 'category three' fireworks which are available to the public.
"It's lucky they weren't category four, which are for display only, but they are still dangerous in the wrong hands."
He added: "We think we were targeted because not many people know we're here.
"It seems to be the fireworks they were after, as there is a Kawasaki Motocross bike there as well that hasn't been touched.
"Police have had reports of fireworks being set off on the industrial estate at Caia
Park in the early hours of the morning, and that's all they could use them for really.
"They won't be able to sell them on – but it's left us with a real headache."
A spokesman for North Wales Police said: "We are appealing for information after thieves broke into storage containers on the Wrexham Industrial Estate overnight.
"Police were alerted to the burglary at Ash Road North at 6.38am.
"It is understood that at least six containers were broken into.
"A quantity of fireworks was taken from one container, but it is not clear yet what, if anything, was stolen from the other containers.
"Anyone with information is asked to call 101. The crime reference number is R063447."

Amazon shares fall on 2Q lossJuly 25, 2014 11:54 am | by Associated Press | News | Comments

Ice hockey, like any sport, has a degree of risk associated with it. In fact, for many people, the sense of excitement that comes with such risk is an essential ingredient for proper enjoyment of the game. That said, injuries are never fun and, as well as being painful, can have a serious long-term impact on your ability to continue playing.
Some of the most harmful injuries cannot even be seen and over time can have a serious negative effect on life in general, not just during hockey games. These risks should therefore be mitigated to ensure you can continue having fun on the ice for years to come.
Treating Injuries
By far, the most important thing to consider while playing ice hockey is your safety and the safety of your teammates. Get this wrong, and even the most spectacular victory will pale into insignificance. To that end, these are some of the things that you should consider before, during, and after playing ice hockey to minimize the chances of injuries occurring and mitigate their impacts should the worst happen:
• Protective equipment. Ice hockey is a high impact sport and properly fitted, good quality protective equipment is absolutely essential. Joints and muscles are areas of weakness on any human body and should therefore be given special attention both in terms of prevention and ongoing protection. An ankle sleeve is one such item of kit that provides crucial support to joints while recovering from injury. Visit http://www.tommiecopper.com/product/mens-ankle-compression-sleeve for more information and to purchase these essential pieces of kit.
• First aid. Any well organized game will have medical experts on standby, ready to respond to the outcomes of accidents. It is not enough for organizers to simply expect to be able to call emergency services when an incident occurs, as the minutes immediately following an injury are the most important. Having experts on hand means the most appropriate action can be taken in this critical time, such as assessing the signs of concussion and applying treatment to sprains, cuts, and bruises.
• Preparation. Prevention is invariably better than a cure and before even stepping on the ice, you should consider a screening examination with a trusted medical professional or experienced coach to identify and discuss any possible existing injuries or physical deficiencies that could be exacerbated during play. These can usually be managed by sports-specific conditioning programs.
Playing safe
Ice hockey is without a doubt a thrilling sport and these thrills are generated by the high speed, and occasionally high impact, environment in which it takes place. Fans and players alike struggle to find any other activity that provides the same level of fun and intensity.
To enjoy playing ice hockey fully, it is important to ensure that injuries, however minor, do not get in the way. Good quality protective equipment, worn at the right times, is the first and most important step in making sure your fun is not spoiled by preventable harm.

Putting the wraps on a third consecutive undefeated Region 6-AAA championship with a 9-0 road win over Darlington last Tuesday, the Camden High girls soccer team heads into tonight's AAA state tournament opener with a full head of steam.
Quickly but surely, they came off the court in rapid succession starting with Jo Jo Tiller, who needed just 33 minutes to put away his first singles opponent from Cane Bay.
Finish the regular season unbeaten. Check.
Playing with the lead did not seem to suit Camden as the Bulldogs saw their 4-0 third inning advantage go by the boards in Thursday's 7-5 loss to host Berkeley in the first round of the District 5-AAA baseball tournament.
With one eye cast to the sky and another watching his team, Camden High tennis coach Roger Smoak was hoping for a quick match against undermanned Sumter at the CHS courts on Tuesday.

It has come to that time in the season in which Roger Smoak is looking for his Camden High tennis team to take their collective games up a notch.
Comprised of seven anglers, ranging in age from 13 through 18, the Bulldog Youth Fishing Club has spent the early spring fishing in youth tournaments in order to qualify for The Bass Federation (TBF) tournament to be held on Lake Murray on Saturday, May 21.

In most matches, it is the top of the order for the Camden tennis team which wraps up their respective matches and is left to cheer on their teammates.
In a two-week span in which his team has played up and down in matches, Camden High tennis coach Roger Smoak was happy that his squad had one of the former performances in a 6-0 shutout over visiting Wilson on Tuesday.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Former Camden High School and Kershaw County Post 17 American Legion baseball standout Sanchez Tucker, a junior at Alabama A&M University in Huntsville, was named as the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Player of the Week for games played between April 5 –11.
After having opened the season with a steady stream of lopsided victories, things have gotten a bit more interesting, recently, for the Camden High tennis team.
Another game, another blowout.
This is more like it.
If there is any sport which can test a person's soul, golf would have to be at or near the top of the list.
Talking to Brooke Dixon, you get the feeling that no matter what school at which level recruited her or, offered her a chance to play for their program, that she was going to hold out as long as she could for her dream school.
Just like his broken-in glove, Cole Irick found the perfect fit for a college where he can continue both his academic and baseball-playing endeavors.
