Synsyre!!!! Special Sib of a D Kid Day!!
Why? Oh lord where have you been?? Sherry of Jennas Pet Monkey and I have declared today " Special Sib of a D Kid Day"! Thats right today is all about those siblings who not only endure so much dealing with Diabetes as well, but support their D sib all the way! Theyre amazing.
Lets meet mine shall we?
Synsyre is 5. His idol is Michael Jackson. He can and would eat all day if we let him. He has the cutest lisp and still talks like hes a baby yet hes smart as a whip! He collects loose change and turns it in every night "mama heres money for Justices cure". He cried when I told him he couldnt marry me and proposes atleast twice a week still. Hes seriously the sweetest child and so funny. Hes an awesome lil brother. Yes they fight all the time but their bond is without question one of the strongest Ive ever seen. It moves me.
Synsyre puts up with alot. Daily and or weekly this is what he hears:
"Synsyre!! Meter now!!"--Im on the couch with J, dads out, Synsyre is in the kitchen closest to the meter. Its seriously no more than a foot away but when Js low he likes me to sit with him. He gets scared. Synsyre runs his tush to the table and always returns with it in hand in under 10 seconds. Seriously.
"Synsyre please leave Justice alone his sugar is high and hes feel crappy".--This may be the worst. When J is over 240 I am scared for Synsyres well being. No joke. He becomes combative, quicky irritated, critial and honestly just mean. Ofcourse Synsyre always wants to be up under his big bro but when bgs are high he must stay away for his safety. It breaks my heart.
"Synsyre not now Im ____________". Insert here changing sites, filling cartridges, checking sugars, checking ketones, adjusting basals, tweaking ICs, priming tubing, counting carbs, weighing food. It sucks. Its not fair. But he deal with it like such a trooper.
Today is not about that though. Yes D will still be here and we will still have to do everything that we normally do. But today we are going to celebrate Synsyre. The most awesomest, adorable, funny, supportive, loving and cutest D sibling evaaaa!!
Dear Synsyre,
I know at times it may seem like Justice is more important as you often say, or we care more about his Diabetes than you. But please know with every fiber of your being thats not true. We love you just the same but different. Youre our youngest, the baby, our comedian and go to guy when we need a good laugh or want a juicy kiss! Mommy and daddy adore you and would do anything in this wrld to keep you happy, healthy and safe.
I want to take this time to thank you. Thank you for being my son, my friend, the best lil brother Justice could have. Youre simply amazing and I hope that you know that. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PUTTYCAT!!!
Love always,
Mommy. Your best friend. And ok ok your wife ;)
To celebrate we got Synsyre a card, Scooby Doo dvd and some Spongebob candy. Hes going to be so surprised!
Id like to share with you all some pics from Synsyre favorite photoshoot to date. As well as some video.
Hope the youtube links work! If not find me on youtibe under The SugarNova

I just balled when you wrote that he asks you twice a day to marry you and cried when you said you can't. That is just true love for his momma. What a beautiful boy.

You are an amazing brother. Justice is so blessed to have you by his side. As the two of you grow into adulthood, you will share many bonds. Diabetes is only one of them. Don't ever forget what a great kid you are and always hold your head up high.
Much Love,
The Rose Family

What a great kiddo! Thanks for sharing about him. Justice sounds pretty lucky to have such a caring brother by his side. Thanks for coming up with this idea... I have enjoyed reading about all the other kiddos who take a back seat to D.

Justin said he was going to marry me. I gave up trying to explain after a while. Now I think were just going to live together forever :)

Love it! What cute boys you've got!

He has a certain "squeeze factor," where I want to hug him and squeeze him and tell him how cute he is.
I think it's incredibly sweet that he collects change for the cure. Seriously, how sweet is that??!!! And he wants to marry you?! Don't you just love how your little boy loves you so?!
BTW, this special sib of a D kid day is awesome! I couldn't pull it together to post on 11/28. But I love this idea and I appreciate you and Sherry initiating it. So I will write about my two little special sibs one day soon.

Naming memory
Adam Ungar was a happy kid who loved to ski and play the piano. He was a regular at his local synagogue, and he always looked forward to spending the holidays with his grandparents, who lived an hour away by train. Adam and his younger sister, Helen, would often go horseback riding while visiting with their bubbe and zayde.
Twelve days before turning 13, on Oct. 15, 1943, Adam was killed by a Nazi bullet while walking with a friend in a concentration camp. He never made it to his bar mitzvah.
I learned about Adam by reading about another Jewish boy, Daniel Pyser of Owings Mills, Md., who decided a few years ago to honor Adam during his own bar mitzvah.
With the encouragement of his parents, Daniel participated in a program called Remember Us, which connects bar and bat Mitzvah kids to children who died in the Holocaust. Typically, this means prominently featuring the name of the victim in the invitation and ceremony. But the program encourages kids to go further and put their own stamp on honoring their Holocaust "twin."
Daniel was one of those who went further. He wanted to know as much as possible about Adam. So he contacted the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum to try to locate surviving family members. After many back-and-forth letters and phone calls, he hit the jackpot when Judy Finkelstein, the wife of the son of Adam's surviving sister, Helen, contacted him.
Eventually, Daniel was able to contact Helen, which helped him get more information about Adam, including some family pictures. At his bar mitzvah, Daniel displayed on the bimah a picture of Adam and Helen next to a yahrzeit candle, and he led Kaddish in his memory. His speech, which he reprinted in the program, spoke about his journey of discovering Adam and his story.
At his party, near the end of the candle lighting ceremony and in front of hundreds of guests, Daniel spoke these words: "This last candle is a special one. It is in honor of Adam Ungar, a Polish boy who was not able to have the privilege of becoming a bar mitzvah. He was born on Oct. 27, 1930, and was killed not even 13 years later, on Oct. 15, 1943, during the Holocaust. This candle and this day are dedicated to him and in his memory."
According to Samara Hutman, executive director of Remember Us, there are hundreds of similar stories of bar and bat mitzvah kids honoring young Holocaust victims. "Each one is more emotional than the next," she told me over lunch recently.
Hutman, who lives in Santa Monica, has been running the national program of Remember Us since last July, overseeing the Holocaust Bnai Mitzvah Project and the more recent Righteous Conversations Project, which builds on the former by connecting teenage kids to actual Holocaust survivors. Don't be fooled by the name, though: Righteous Conversations is aiming for a lot more than "conversation."
Teens are encouraged to work with Holocaust mentors to come up with ideas that "address the needs of today's world." One of the first ideas to come out of the pilot program, which kicked off this year at Harvard-Westlake School in Studio City, is a series of powerful public service announcements, which the students have produced and made available to a number of different charities.
The two programs have an eerie symmetry. One honors teenage victims of the Holocaust; the other honors teenage survivors of the Holocaust who are now in their twilight years. It's as if the survivors of the Righteous Conversations Project were saying to the kids of the Bnai Mitzvah Project, "Here's what those kids might have looked like had they survived."
Hutman has a special place in her heart for the Righteous Conversations program, maybe because she knows all too well that time is running out on this last generation of survivors. She quotes her mentor, Holocaust scholar professor Michael Berenbaum: "We are in a transition point between lived memory and historical memory."
As we approach this transition, the challenge for the Jewish community will be to find ways to bring to life this historical memory. Cold numbers, no matter how big and dramatic, leave the memory numb and unfocused.
Until we see real faces and real stories — just like the stories this paper covers in its Survivors series — the horror of 6 million dead doesn't really come to life.
What Remember Us is doing is taking these faces and stories and making them deeply personal. They're marrying our horror stories from the past with our ideal stories from the present — and wrapping them both in the intimacy of communal ritual.
In the future, we might not see better carriers of Holocaust memory than bar mitzvah kids like Daniel Pyser honoring forgotten children like Adam Ungar. By "inviting" these kids to a life cycle event and reminding us that they had names and lives, that they loved to ski and play piano and hang out with their bubbes and zaydes, they're breathing life into their deaths and adding presence to their absence.
One thing we know for sure: Even if every bar and bat mitzvah kid in America were to honor a victim, we'd never run out of names.

"As soon as you vote us off, we'll die." –everyone on The X Factor
Right? The sob stories are really intensifying this season and the battle for ultimate destitution is SO ON! This week Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid in particular engaged in scripted sit-downs with their team members so they could learn about these ragamuffins' low-interest occupations and general poverty-stricken ways. This is their one and only shot at success in life, so you cretins better vote! Show me an X Factor act that isn't homeless and I will show you an X Factor act that is going home.
Tonight's theme — not that it matters in the slightest — was "Songs from Famous Movies," which was basically an excuse for Diamond White to sing "I Have Nothing" (but I feel like that would have happened anyway). Let's do it!
But first, a special thanks to reader Paul Bianco for submitting irrefutable proof that Demi Lovato was trying to channel Shannen Doherty in Heathers.
What's your damage, Demi?
Arin Ray asserted his potential as a viable solo artist with an all-leather getup (save for one random knee band) and five sexy backup mamas in race car bodysuits on "American Boy." He sounded good! No real issues and Mario Lopez — apparently a judge now — enjoyed the section where Arin rapped. In the first of many "night and day" allusions to the profound differences between this week's and last week's performances, Simon thought Arin had regained his confidence after winning the sing-off against Diamond White. (She's baaaaaaack!) "You're turning into a little pop star," Mr. Cowell nonchalanted before yawning and taking a nap.
Beatrice Miller continues to dress like something The X Factor pulled out of a dumpster in the early 1990s. I'm so glad they did because what a voice! She'd been suffering from messed-up vocal chords throughout the week so I think "Iris" could have been much stronger, but her ease onstage is really genuine and I actually think she, along with Jennel Garcia, might be the most marketable acts in the bunch. L.A. Reid couldn't quite award Beatrice with his coveted "chill bumps" ("OH NO!" –nobody) but he did tell Beatrice "The tone of your voice sounds like a hit record." Absolutely agree. But does she have to wear 67 scarves? A mere 21 — one for every remaining hobo — would have been fine.
NEXT: Can Demi do anything right?

In 2003 survivors of Sierra Leone's horrific and devastating 1991–2002 civil war embarked on a particular kind of healing process involving intensive fact-finding and public disclosure of information. In January, Human Rights Watch released a 75-page report exploring the widespread instances of girls and women being raped by rebels, government troops, and international peacekeeping forces. In March police began arresting high-profile war-crimes suspects to be put on trial before a UN-sponsored war-crimes tribunal, the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL). Three of the most notorious figures set to appear in court died before their cases could be heard. Foday Sankoh, the founding leader of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), died on July 29 of complications from an earlier stroke. Sankoh was set to stand trial for having ordered the RUF to terrorize Sierra Leoneans through dismemberments, killings, and rape. Later in the year Sam Bockarie, another infamous former RUF leader, turned up dead in Liberia, apparently killed by Liberian Pres. Charles Taylor's forces in May. Johnny Paul Koroma, former leader of an RUF-allied military junta that seized power in 1997, was reported to have suffered a similar fate in June, but the questions of his status or whereabouts remained unanswered at the end of 2003. Both Bockarie and Koroma had been allied with Taylor in the past, and the SCSL warned Taylor not to offer them safe haven. In early June the SCSL indicted Taylor himself for war crimes and crimes against humanity and accused him of supporting Sankoh and the RUF in order to get a share of Sierra Leone's considerable diamond wealth. His indictment was actually drawn up on March 7 along with a host of others; it was kept secret, however, until he arrived in Ghana for peace talks aimed at ending Liberia's civil war. The Ghanaians frustrated the SCSL and incurred the rancour of the UN by allowing Taylor to return to Liberia instead of detaining him. In August, Taylor entered into exile in Nigeria, formally out of reach of the SCSL.
In April, Sierra Leone's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) began holding public hearings. Pres. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah appeared before the TRC in August. He claimed to have had no say over the controversial activities of the militias supporting his government during the 10-year civil war. Sam Hinga Norman, the man who had been more directly in charge of Kabbah's Civil Defense Forces, was indicted by the SCSL for war crimes and crimes against humanity. British Prime Minister Tony Blair remarked that Kabbah should have been indicted as well.

Isolates Web browsing from other processes. Blocks malware and keyloggers. Can automatically switch to secure browsing for known sensitive sites. New safe desktop allows multiple secure browser windows. Bypasses Windows DNS.
Prevents use of valid browser add-ons such as password managers. Expensive considering that it doesn't replace existing security products.
Bottom Line
Worried about the security of your financial transactions? SafeCentral isolates them in an environment that bars malware, keyloggers, and any external processes. SafeCentral 2.0 is a much more usable, and faster, package than version 1.0. It also now permits multiple secure browser windows.
SafeBrowser Changes
SafeBrowser is still based on Firefox, but it now allows some familiar Firefox features that were suppressed in version 1.0. You still can't install a third-party password manager like Lastpass or RoboForm, but Firefox's built-in password manager is enabled. Additionally, the phishing protection built into Firefox is active in SafeCentral 2.0.
Probably the biggest difference is that you can now open multiple browser windows or tabs within the safe desktop. Where the previous version completely suppressed the menu, version 2.0 includes many standard Firefox menu items. You can save bookmarks within SafeBrowser (naturally they're separate from any bookmarks in your regular browser). SafeCentral still doesn't record history.
Getting into SafeCentral is also much, much faster than with the previous edition. Launching the older SafeBrowser could take as much as 20 or 30 seconds. Version 2.0 slides into place immediately. The app's developers also seem to have cured the general browsing slowdown that was evident in the earlier version.
There's some similarity between SafeBrowser and the Secure View browser found in ID Vault 4.0. The latter is a stripped-down version of Internet Explorer, while SafeBrowser is based on Firefox. Secure View limits IE's threat exposure by banning all add-ins and limiting what the user can do. However, it isn't isolated from other processes the way SafeBrowser is, and it doesn't protect against malware or keyloggers.Next: Keyloggers Still Stymied

My parents think most of the names I love (my favourites in my signature gives you a sense of my style) are too out there or "complicated". They don't see the point in double middle names (basically all my combos have them). And my mum doesn't like girls' names with A endings... basically 90%+ of the girls' names I like!
And... My sister thinks if I name a son Sebastian or Darcy or a daughter Cordelia they'd get beat up at school (what on earth?!). I was looking at a list of Shakespeare names on a name website once at lunch and my friend was reading over my shoulder, she thought Sebastian, Rosalind, Orlando, Lysander, Cordelia, Romeo, etc,- like half the names on the list- were unusable!~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3
Favourite names:
Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Scarlett, Felicity, Juliet
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Oliver, Darcy, Orlando

Some names I brought up to my mom and she hated:
Zoe (she loves this name but it was our dog's name and she thought that was ridiculous that i even considered it)
Titus (is the name of my estranged cousin, but we barely talk to them and his name is tydus)
Finnegan (she thinks Finn is cute though)
Names she suggested:
Names I love that I never told her about, but she'll probably hate anyway:
Pretty much every name in my signature that I didn't already list.
We have pretty different name tastes. My name is Olivia Taylor, my brother is Collin, and if she had another girl she would have named her Savanna.

haha, I love these threads. In my case, it's not just my mom--it's also my three siblings and my dad and even my grandmothers sometimes who are the voice of dissent! haha. But they've made sure that I know that even if they hate the name, they'll love my child, and they'll grow to love the name because they'll love the child. So I've really stopped asking.
Isabelle - "ugh, don't name her after Twilight!"
Arianne - "Oh, Ashley, don't do that! They'll call her Ari the Airhead!"
Violet - "ugh. It's just a dumb name" (why? I don't know. They just keep saying it's a dumb name!)
Liliana - "ugh, why do you have to be so complicated?! Just name her Lily!" hahaha. But when I explained that Lily was for my grandmother who passed away, and Ana was for the grandmother who lives with us, my mom was like, "Aww, Mom, did you here that? Ashley wants to name her daughter after you!" And then they were all fawning over Liliana, haha.
Charlotte - "She sounds prissy."
Emmeline/Eliza - my dad shuddered when I told him, years ago, that these were my top 2... hahaha.
I think the only ones I haven't heard SOMETHING awful about are Olivia, Eva (which I haven't even brought up to the whole family--just my sister, and she said she didn't mind it, but it seemed more my thing than hers), Anneliese, and maybe Annabel (to which I told my mom I could never use it, because I love Isabelle too much, and she was like, "You could have twin girls! And name them Isabelle and Annabel!" I was like, "Uh, no, Mom. But thanks." haha). I remember my mom LOVED Avery when I first mentioned it, and then I made sure we were on the same gender terms, and she was like, "A girl, of course!" :/ One of the reasons I wanted to use Avery, besides loving it, is that it's a big family name on HER dad's side! lol.
I don't really talk names with my family anymore, for the most part (except for with my baby sister--she's really getting into vintage names like Hazel and Olive and Agnes, which makes me super excited, hahaha, so sometimes we talk. ). It's my choice, anyway, so I'd like it to be a semi-surprise when I actually do have a kid.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

Its the opposite for me, my mom won't diss a name, but she every once in a while will say "I want a granddaughters named Madeline and Lillian. Also, Esther is a cute name." My mom likes names with -an sound at the end. My oldest sisters name ends in -yn, me and my youngest sisters names end in -an, and my brothers name ends in -on.
If me and my sisters had been boys our names would have been Clayton, Brandon, and Justin.Megan

- The monkey king, Sun Wukong (Japanese, Son Goku), became a popular character in Japan when the Chinese novel Journey to the West (Chinese, Xiyou ji; Japanese, Saiyvki) was translated and published during the Edo period. Accompanying the monk Tripitaka on his journey to India to acquire sutras (sacred texts), Sun Wukong battles a wide range of demons, goblins, enchantresses, and monsters. This surimono, which is also a calendar print for the "monkey" year 1812, shows the monkey king standing on a cloud that can instantly transport him over great distances. In his hand is an iron weapon that can shrink and fit behind his ear. He is also able to transform his fur into a troop of monkeys, shown below, who are cleverly arranged to indicate the long and short months of the year. Two poems read:
As spring arrives
large and small blossoms
of plum burst forth,
while monkeys appear
in a garden of delights.

Auroras of the White sea
Green nights of September, 2010
One of the most beautiful nature event is Aurora. It's common for people who live behind Polar Circle in places, where night lasts for a half of a year. But it's not always dark there, when the sky is clear you can see bright arc of green or red light moving all over the sky. Photos just can't explain anything about it, northern lights are absolutely amazing. It's the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
More auroras coming soon =)
More auroras coming soon =)
Thank You!


text: After doing some extensive research, it appears short-term memory loss is the result of the presence of THC in your system and nothing to do with any physical damage to any part of your brain. And for a chronic smoker like me(5 oz of superdank in last 2 months) I have a considerable build up of THC. I do notice the short-term memory loss, often times I will find myself someplace in my house without any idea why I'm there. Even though there was a reason for me being there....It's a very frustrating and depressing feeling. And this has gone on for some time, where I know I was completely baseline. I didn't used to be like this, and I feel I'm violating my intellectual integrity to allow this to go on. I LOVE WEED GUYS, but as an intellectual the thought of short-term memory loss is enough to dissuade and disgust me from this stuff all-together. As such, I'm very well informed and have chosen cannabis as my sole "recreational substance" for such occasions. From what I'm understanding, I have to go off this stuff for 6-8 weeks before all the THC is out of my system and short-term memory returns to normal. My question is, being a former chronic user(3 days since I last toked) can I continue to use cannabis twice a week per se and expect my memory to return to normal over the long term? Or is the only way to expect to use cannabis modestly again, is to quit cold turkey for 2 months?

Week In Review
by Adam Wodon/Managing Editor
The postseason is here for three of the six Division I conferences, and one week to go for the other three. Lots of playoff jockeying, and positioning for possible NCAA bids makes this the most exciting time of year. Only one league — Hockey East — eliminates teams from its postseason, sending 8 of 10. So the other 56 teams (minus RIT, which is not yet eligible for postseason play) will be involved in the postseason. Nine will get eliminated this coming weekend.
Michigan Tech kept up its strong play, and took advantage of a Wisconsin team that has never really found itself this season, sweeping the Badgers. Saturday, Tech received points from 12 different players, including contributions from all four lines. That catapulted the Huskies into sixth in the league, one point behind CC for the final home ice spot. Tech has a tough chore next week, finishing with two games at Minnesota — but CC has a home-and-home with Denver. Michael-Lee Teslak turned aside 24-of-26 shots to help the Huskies extend their home unbeaten streak to eight games and vault their season record above .500 at 15-14-5. Tech is now 10-4-2 at home this season, which equals its best home mark since 1997-98 when the Huskies went 10-4-5. MTU's eight-game home unbeaten streak is its longest since 1995-96 when it put together a 10-game unbeaten stretch. The Badgers� NCAA hopes are pretty much gone. Tech was the hungrier, more physical, grittier team all weekend.
St. Cloud State also nailed a sweep of a home-and-home with Minnesota. Admittedly, I thought St. Cloud State�s window of opportunity may have passed a few years ago, when it sent highly-ranked teams to the NCAAs but never made the Frozen Four. With the �Big Ten� schools, Minnesota and Wisconsin, getting younger coaches and turning into dominant programs with all their resources, and North Dakota with its opulent building, it appeared maybe a Division II school like St. Cloud State would not be able to keep up anymore, through no fault of its own. But Bob Motzko took over and has re-energized the program and proved it can keep up.
Saturday, SCSU was outshot 42-27, but senior netminder Bobby Goepfert withstood the attack with 39 saves on the night. A highlight for Goepfert was his 17 saves in the second period that helped the Huskies stay close at the time. Goepfert is being seriously overlooked in Hobey consideration.
In other big series, CC is really hurting itself in the NCAA picture, getting swept by Minnesota State. And North Dakota and Denver had a split in a pair of exciting games. Look out, here comes Ryan Duncan in the Hobey watch. While fellow sophomores, and linemates, T.J. Oshie and Jonathan Toews are first-round picks, it's Duncan that's made most of the noise this season, and he had two more goals Saturday at the Sioux topped Denver. The night before, Denver won 4-3, but that top line each had a goal for the Sioux. Denver had the OT win when, after missing the last 30 games due to injury, J.D. Corbin scored.
The CCHA heads into its postseason, with four teams getting byes, and the other eight playing next weekend.
Michigan lost a barnburner Saturday to Ohio State, 6-5, but managed to keep second place because Miami hit a divot against Northern Michigan. Still, Michigan�s inconsistency, even within this game, has it looking a lot like last year�s situation, and has put the Wolverines in a precarious NCAA position again. Mathieu Beaudoin scored his second goal of the game, late in the third, to give OSU a come-from-behind win. The Buckeyes then killed off a penalty for too many men in the closing minute, and things got testy once the final horn sounded.
Notre Dame, with the league already locked up, didn't allow themselves to fall too far into a trap like Miami last year, coming back from Friday�s loss — a game where they admittedly got too full of themselves after an early lead — with a perfect response. Hobey hopeful David Brown got another shutout, albeit with only 15 saves needed. This kind of response, outshooting Ferris 35-15 and being so thorough, is another reason to feel confident about Notre Dame going into the NCAAs.
Michigan State�s 2-1 loss to last-place Bowling Green puts it on the NCAA bubble. The Spartans already were locked into the No. 4 spot in the CCHA, so maybe that explains something, but they had too much else to play for to get complacent.
Miami did win Friday�s game, behind Ryan Jones� 26th goal of the season.
Vermont kept itself in position to get the final home-ice slot in Hockey East, splitting the weekend with BU. Saturday, the Cats won on the road, 3-2, as freshman Colin Vock scored twice and ended BU's eight-game unbeaten streak. The Catamounts currently trail fourth-place Maine by one point for the final home ice spot going into the final weekend of the regular season. Coach Kevin Sneddon thought his team played its best 120 minutes of the season over the weekend. "Obviously when we get some puck luck things are a lot different than what you saw (Friday)," said Vermont coach Kevin Sneddon. "I thought we had a real tough time getting the puck to the net in the first period because BU's defense was pretty stifling. But in the second period we really came alive and really kept it simple."
BU remained in strong NCAA position. It seems almost locked into a No. 2 seed at this point. Despite Saturday�s loss, it may be playing its best hockey, and consistently, now.
Providence embarrassed New Hampshire, 7-1, Saturday — though UNH had clinched a share of the regular-season crown with Friday�s win, and then clinched outright despite the loss, thanks to BU�s loss. Providence, meanwhile, really needed this, as it moved two points ahead of Mass.-Lowell for the final playoff spot. UNH might have had one of those nothing-to-play-for hangovers. The shots were 51-22 Providence, and at one point, UNH players took three minors in a three-minute span. "Absolutely we stunk," UNH coach Dick Umile told the Concord Monitor. "We played like jerks. Obviously the penalties just added to it. They put the puck in the net and that's what we deserved. I have nothing else to say other than we were horrendous." Friday, senior forward Jacob Micflikier netted his fourth-career hat trick in the win.
The ECAC wrapped up, and was interesting as always. It may not be the best league, but you can always count on the league for drama created by its parity and depth. There were three different ties to break after the last games were played, including a three-way tie for the all-important eight spot — the final home-ice spot in the first round. And there was a tie for fourth, which is the final bye spot. And, since ECAC tiebreaker rules come down to record vs. Top 4 and record vs. Top 8, those two sets of ties were contingent upon breaking the tie of the other, causing a weird situation.
When the dust settled, Cornell, despite getting swept on the weekend, held on to the fourth spot, because Quinnipiac was also swept.
Princeton ended the season with a sweep of the top two teams in the league, St. Lawrence and Clarkson, finished .500, and secured a home-ice spot in the first round. A nice step in the right direction for Guy Gadowsky's team, and something to hang their hat on after a start of the season that featured mostly close calls and frustration. Friday�s win was 7-1 over Clarkson, which didn�t show up. So much for the "revenge" factor. Princeton had gone to Clarkson earlier in the season and beat up the Golden Knights, at a time early in the season when Clarkson was feeling good about itself. The Knights eventually recovered from that weekend, and have been faring well, close to a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs. But this will all but end those hopes. Clarkson did recover to defeat Quinnipiac the next night.
St. Lawrence came in first for the first time since 2001. This is a team that just wins. If not for the Saints' loss earlier this season to Niagara, they would be well inside the NCAA tournament bubble. As it stands right now, they are at the window peering in.
RIT closed out with the regular-season title, a great accomplishment for the program in its first year in the league. Though it's still not eligible for postseason play, which is a shame because both the Atlantic Hockey final four and the NCAA East Regional are being held at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester.
1. Ryan Duncan, North Dakota — Three more goals this past weekend, he�s 10-9—19 in the last eight games, and is making a run for the Hobey.
2. Ryan Jones, Miami — Teammate Nathan Davis was getting the Hobey consideration earlier in the year, but now maybe it should be Jones, who has seven goals in the last four games and leads the Hawks with a plus-21.
3. Bobby Goepfert, St. Cloud State — A remarkably consistent college career, his save percentages are .924, .918, .924 and now .931 this season.
1. Tim Kennedy, Michigan — His goal drought reached seven games. He has 13 on the season, but just two in his last 20.
2. Ray Sawada, Cornell — After a strong start, the Dallas Stars third-round pick has scored in just one of his last 10 games.
3. Jimmy Kilpatrick, Colorado College — He had seven goals at New Year�s and none in the last 14 games, though he still leads CC in points.
The Top 10 is by order of the KRACH Ranking. It's the Pairwise, of course, that will determine who is in the NCAAs, but KRACH is more illustrative of relative strength.
1 Minnesota (25-7-3)
Despite losing twice to St. Cloud State, this is why the computer is often superior to humans, so long as you assume you�re taking the full season into account. Overall, for the season, Minnesota is still slightly more impressive than St. Cloud State, despite the head-to-head records and recent results. That doesn�t mean humans are wrong when it comes to evaluating who might win a future matchup.
2 St. Cloud State (20-6-6)
Still not quite at No. 1 in KRACH despite the sweep of the Gophers, but what�s the difference now?
3 New Hampshire (23-7-2)
A split with Providence, just like many of the teams right below.
4 Notre Dame (27-6-3)
A split with Ferris State with nothing left to play for in the regular season.
5 Denver (21-12-3)
A split with North Dakota was more impressive to the computer than BU�s split with Vermont.
6 Boston University (18-6-9)
Ran into a Vermont team playing well, and got the split. BU still playing its most consistent hockey of the season finally.
7 Maine (21-10-2)
A sweep of Merrimack. Not exciting, but up a spot.
8 North Dakota (18-12-4)
Split with Denver.
9 Clarkson (21-8-5)
Split with Princeton/Quinnipiac, but up a spot because of CC�s continued stumbling.
10 Boston College (20-11-1)
Back in the Top 10 with CC out.
Maine at Massachusetts
March 2-3
The battle is on for the final home-ice spot in the Hockey East playoffs. Vermont, also in the mix, is home for two games against Mass.-Lowell.
Colorado College vs. Denver
March 2-3
A home-and-home series, with CC needing to get back on track to secure a home-ice spot in the playoffs, and Denver looking to solidify a top three slot. CC also is teetering on the NCAA bubble.
Michigan Tech at Minnesota
March 2-3
Can Tech follow through on this strong play and really make a statement, wrapping up the regular season in Minneapolis? It will take two losses by Minnesota, plus two St. Cloud State wins, for the Gophers to blow first place in the WCHA.

As the senior population grows, so does the need for more home health care options.
Home care can be a great alternative for many individuals who are recovering from illness or surgery or who are facing daily challenges from disabilities or declining abilities due to age. Home care is often more affordable than extended stays in hospitals or assisted living settings.
Finding quality home health care is essential. The California Association for Health Services at Home (CAHSAH), a source of advocacy, education and information within the home care industry established in 1966, recommends spending time to find the appropriate home care provider in order to make the care experience positive. CAHSAH notes it is important to conduct adequate research as the number of providers is increasing as the need for the services they provide escalates.
According to the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research the number of residents in California who are 85 or older will triple by 2050 to nearly 2.4 million residents. Many of these individuals will have health concerns, disabilities or other needs that require some kind of personal care.
Finding the right caregivers or the best agency for one's self or a loved one can be challenging. Currently, the home care industry in California is largely unregulated. Although finding the quality providers that their loved ones might need in their own homes may be difficult for some families, CAHSAH has resources that can help. The association represents the full spectrum of home care service providers in California and across the nation.
To find an appropriate home care provider, CAHSAH recommends that patients and their families consider several important points. Questions to ask include: What kind of care is required? What level of care is required? How will the care be paid for? Does the care recipient qualify for Medicare or Medi-Cal? What portion of the care cost will the patient bear? Is the provider licensed and certified in some fashion? Is the patient's physician familiar with the provider? Will the provider work with the patient's doctor? How long has the provider been around and what is its reputation?
Certification and licensing can be important. CAHSAH has certification standards for home care aide organizations that cover matters ranging from liability insurance to background clearances to some screenings and more.
CAHSAH represents more than 584 members and 1,031 offices that are direct providers of health and supportive services and products in the home. The association's members represent Medicare-certified home health agencies, licensed home health agencies, hospices, private duty organizations, home medical equipment providers, home infusion pharmacy providers and interdisciplinary professional services. Together, they provide a variety of medical and therapy services in addition to daily living support ranging from housekeeping to transportation.
When searching for a provider of any home care service, look for one certified by CAHSAH. Families and patients can find a number of CAHSAH-certified throughout San Diego County. Visit www.cahsah.org for more information.

40 Pounds of Cocaine Found at Toronto Airport Bathroom
Around 40 pounds of cocaine was found in the ceiling of the Toronto Pearson International Airport, officials said on Thursday.
Officers took about 16 packages worth some $2 million from the bathroom after they were discovered on June 17, the Canada Border Services Agency said.
It is unclear where the cocaine packages were from.
The packages were wrapped in plastic with tape, with "breakable" and "fragile" markings on the outside.
"Toronto continues to be a shipping and trans-shipping point for local and other point drug smuggling," Insp. Dean Dickson with the RCMP Toronto airport agency said in a statement. "We are working together to ensure that we can address this smuggling."
Goran Vragovic, Regional Director General of the Greater Toronto Area Region, said in a statement that with the haul "attempting to smuggle drugs is simply not worth it."
Canadian border officers will "work diligently to prevent anyone from using international airports for illegal cross-border activities," he added.

The great news for Matchbox Twenty fans is that not only are they back together, but they've got a new album dropping on September 4th. Their first album, "Yourself or Someone Like You" sold 12 million copies in the U.S. alone. Subsequent albums sold well, but not quite up to that status. The new album, called "North," features the extremely catchy single "She's So Mean."
This album has been in the works for well over a year, and from the sound of the single, contains the unmistakable catchy sound and sing-a-long lyrics of the band. When you hear it there's no doubt that it's Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty. Despite two long hiatuses and the superstar status of their lead singer, the band, formed in 1995 in Orlando, continues to deliver.

The verdict has been in for a long time: a stabilized approach is an essential part of a safe landing. Airlines and business aviation operators almost universally require pilots to fly stabilized approaches, but until now there has been no way to monitor approach performance in real time other than an alert fellow pilot to warn the flying pilot that he might be venturing beyond the boundaries of track, glidepath, proper configuration, airspeed and sink rate. Honeywell aims to change that with its new SmartLanding, a software extension of the company's enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS).
SmartLanding warns pilots via verbal announcements and messages on the EGPWS display when they are flying outside predefined standard operating procedure (SOP) criteria during approach to landing. The software stays silent if there is no deviation outside the SOP tolerances.
SmartLanding is Honeywell's second software-based extension to the EGPWS hardware system. The first was the SmartRunway system, and both take advantage of EGPWS's airports and terrain database and other capabilities.
The SmartRunway system is designed to help prevent runway incursions, said Michael Grove, Honeywell marketing director for safety and information management surveillance systems and also a key member of the EGPWS development team. SmartLanding was developed to prevent runway excursions by helping pilots avoid runway overruns.
In research for its approach-and-landing accident reduction (ALAR) tool kit, the Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) found that, between 1984 and 1997, unstabilized approaches "were a causal factor in 66 percent of 76 approach and landing accidents and serious incidents worldwide."
The FSF and NBAA recommend that approaches be stabilized at 1,000 feet above airport elevation on IFR approaches or 500 feet VFR. "The stabilized approach requires the aircraft to be established on the desired track, glide- path, in landing configuration and with airspeed and sink rate constant," according to NBAA. The FSF ALAR briefing note gets into more detail, but the bottom line is that if the approach isn't stabilized by the required altitude, pilots should initiate an immediate go-around. The benefits of a stabilized approach, according to the FSF, are that "landing performance [is] consistent with published performance."
Honeywell research found that runway excursions are far more prevalent than incursions and, by a factor of about 10, account for far greater accident- and industry-related costs. "It's a significant problem, and one that enhanced ground prox is pretty well suited to help address," Grove told AIN.
The concept behind SmartLanding is not new, but making it work depended on modern databases and GPS capability. Honeywell worked with airlines and aircraft operators for two years to find out how SmartLanding might help them, and the company asked airlines what kind of exceedances they were seeing from flight operational quality assurance (FOQA) or flight data monitoring (FDM) system data. It also ran simulator trials.
For an operator, the ideal setup is to have SmartLanding, FOQA and/or FDM all working together. Analysis of the FOQA/FDM data can show where pilots might be exceeding criteria in a specific area, such as approaches. SmartLanding can then help pilots avoid these exceedances because the operator can configure the system to address specific criteria.
SmartLanding has dozens of parameters. Some criteria are built- in, such as the approach gradient, which is determined based on each airport's own configuration. The standard gradient is a three-degree glidepath. SmartLanding is typically set up to remain silent as long as pilots remain within one degree on the up side of the glidepath.
Another important parameter is approach speed. SmartLanding normally is set to reference speed plus 25 knots, but this is configurable, too. Airbus, for example, uses a more aggressive Vapproach plus 15 knots.
When SmartLanding calls out an alert–in a choice of actual male or female voices–the first and second calls (or three in the case of flaps) state the nature of
the exceedance. A speed above the Vref+25 standard, for example, would generate a "too fast, too fast" verbal annunciation and a text annunciation on the EGPWS display (usually the PFD). If the pilot slows and remains within the required speed, SmartLanding remains silent. But once the aircraft gets below 450 feet and is above the exceedance speed, or too high or in the incorrect flaps configuration, then SmartLanding announces and displays "unstable, unstable." "At that point," said Grove, "we expect the pilots to go around."
SmartLanding can be purchased separately from SmartRunway, or operators with SmartRunway can add SmartLanding and the two systems work together. For an EGPWS-equipped aircraft, Smart- Landing will cost roughly an additional $20,000, but if Smart-Runway is already installed, Smart- Landing will cost less. Fleet pricing will also be available. Certification of SmartLanding as a supplemental type certificate installation was due to be completed last month and the first two approvals were expected for Honeywell's own Hawker Beechcraft King Air C90 and Convair CV-580, followed by a United Airlines jetliner.
Honeywell engineers are busy developing additional products that live on and take advantage of the EGPWS platform (see box). One is a new altimeter-monitoring system to help pilots avoid mis-setting the altimeter, either when transitioning into Class-A airspace or setting the altimeter properly before beginning an instrument approach.
"The most prevalent situation is to set [the altimeter] off by one inch, about a 1,000-foot difference," said Grove. "That digit is significant enough that it can get you into trouble, and sometimes it results in an altitude bust if you're lucky. But if you're not so lucky, it can result in a controlled-flight-into-terrain accident."
The altitude-monitoring system determines correct altitude based on the geometric altitude for the aircraft's GPS-derived location as well as radar altimeter data, when available. The system is capable of detecting errors as small as 150 feet. "This has a lot of uses other than just the safety aspect," he said. "We feel it's going to be important for people transitioning to RNP because RNP operations today are still based on barometric altitude for vertical [separation]."

Carrying on About Purdue Basketball (Nov. 14): Where Do We Start?November 14, 2008
If you're going to take the dare and read about Purdue basketball this year, we need to start somewhere. And with the Boilermakers' first game scheduled for tonight against Detroit Mercy, it's time for our regularly scheduled Friday column.
Every good story has its main characters, and we should begin ours by making sure everyone is up to speed on Purdue's roster. The Boilermakers return all five starters from last season's 25-9 team, although that doesn't mean they'll all start this time around.
Chris Kramer is the reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. He's tough, gritty, and an average jump shooter. His job is to lock down the other team's best player. Purdue's team defense is all about getting pressure and steals in the half-court, and if Kramer can consistently stifle the other team's best offensive option, defense becomes that much easier for the Boilers.
Defense is Purdue's trademark, and Chris Kramer is their soul. Kramer was the team's only captain as a sophomore a year ago, and his effort and leadership will set the tone.
Going into last year, Robbie Hummel was actually the lesser-known of two Purdue freshmen from the same Valparaiso high school. That didn't last long. While longtime teammate Scott Martin battled injuries, homesickness, and other difficulties in his adjustment to college basketball, the "other" Valparaiso kid simply ended up an All-Big Ten first team selection...in his first year of college basketball.
Hummel is basically a 6'8" guard, but he's listed as a forward and ends up guarding the other team's 4-man by default. While his offensive numbers don't jump off the page (11.4 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.5 apg), his hustle and drive helped Purdue overachieve a year ago.
Of course, his league-best 44.7 percent mark behind the arc didn't hurt either.
Thanks to thousands and thousands of long-range jump shots during the summer, Keaton Grant came out of nowhere last season to become a dangerous perimeter gunner for Purdue. Despite being hobbled by two bad knees and noticeably limping as the season went along, Grant was voted the team's MVP in 2007-2008.
In the absence of a "true" point guard, KG took over a lot of the ballhandling duties and ended up guarding the other team's point as well. Grant will be a junior this year, and after offseason surgery, his numbers should reflect his improved health this winter.
E'Twaun Moore is a scorer. And a shooter. And a scorer. And a playmaker. And a scorer. Moore was the most heralded player in Purdue's recruiting class of now-sophomores, and he responded by becoming the first Boilermaker ever to lead his team in scoring as a true freshman last season (12.9 ppg).
During the team's trip to Australia this summer, Moore's numbers continued to skyrocket. The star guard averaged 27 points a contest during five exhibition games down under. (Note: The team was playing 48-minute games against professional teams, not the regulation 40, so that helped inflate the stats...a little.)
The only position we haven't addressed yet is center, and that's probably where the lineup change will come. Last year, JUCO transfer Nemanja Calasan got 18 starts in the middle for the Boilermakers, tallying 6.4 points and 3.3 rebounds a contest.
Calasan figures to be supplanted in '08-'09 by JaJuan Johnson, a 6'10" freak athlete who appears to have spent enough time in the weight room over the last year and a half to finally make a difference in the physical Big Ten Conference.
Johnson was a great shot-blocker as a freshman, but anyone who saw him play would have described the post project as "raw." Look for unbelievable improvement this season from a player who Matt Painter has already predicted will be All-Big Ten before he leaves Purdue: "It's just a matter of when."
Other names you should know include Marcus Green, the senior who's been here for the entire Matt Painter era. Green provides depth off the bench and can occasionally post a 20-point game out of the blue (the Buckeyes found that out last year).
Lewis Jackson is a 5'9" speedster point guard that will get a chance to run the Boilermakers' offense for long stretches as a true freshman. We call him LewJack.
Speaking of another great freshman class, keep your eyes on Ryne Smith, shooter extraordinaire. Smith's job is to hit open threes. Gotta love simplicity.
After what I think will be a nine-man rotation, the bottom of the lineup includes senior Chris Reid (a big man that could give minutes behind Calasan and Johnson if the Boilers run into foul trouble), hometown favorite Bobby Riddell (a senior from Lafayette, Indiana), and junior walk-on guard Mark Wohlford.
Matt Painter is in his fourth season at the helm, and after a 9-19 debut, he has guided back-to-back squads to the second round of the NCAA tournament.
His '06-'07 team featured seniors Carl Landry (currently with the Houston Rockets) and David Teague, and despite a standout recruiting class, no one expected the "Baby Boilers" to win an NCAA tournament game last year as well, especially after the graduation of Purdue's two best players.
Painter played for longtime Boilermaker coach Gene Keady (1990-1993) and succeeded Bruce Weber as the head man at Southern Illinois before moving to Purdue as Keady's designated successor. Painter was 25-5 at SIU in 2003-2004. He is assisted on the Purdue bench by Paul Lusk, Rick Ray, and Jack Owens.
- As mentioned above, Purdue went to Australia this summer for an exhibition tour and finished 2-3 against Aussie professional squads. The Boilers were without all of their incoming freshmen, as well as team MVP Keaton Grant (recovering from surgery).
- Coach Painter decided to redshirt freshman John Hart. With the backcourt depth that Purdue enjoys, Painter had expected to let either Hart or Smith wait a year to see action. Turns out that the Boilermakers can't imagine life without Ryne Smith's beautiful three-point jumpers, so Hart is the odd man out in 2008-09.
- Purdue announced that they will have tri-captains this season: junior Chris Kramer, junior Keaton Grant, and sophomore Robbie Hummel.
- The Boilermakers went 2-0 in November exhibitions against NCAA D-II powers Florida Southern and Northern State. In the first game, a 94-62 win, Purdue boasted balanced scoring, with five players finishing between 12-14 points. In the 82-62 victory against NSU, JaJuan Johnson had a monster game with 22 points and 14 boards.
Before next week's edition is published, Purdue will do battle with Detroit Mercy (tonight) and open the NIT Season Tip-Off with a pair of games (against Eastern Michigan and then either Georgia or Loyola-Chicago). All three games will be played in the friendly environment of 14,123-seat Mackey Arena, where Purdue is 32-2 the past two years.
Accept my apologies for lots of names and numbers in today's preview edition. When I offered the dare to Bleacher Report, I promised to find storylines and anecdotes that will interest all college hoops fans and sports fans in general. The problem is, we haven't exactly had a game yet.
Don't worry though, the action is coming! Hopefully now you know who everybody is...what to expect...and you can look for the next edition of COAPB on Nov. 21 to find out if the Boilermakers live up to their top 10 ranking in the season's first week.
See you at 3-0?
Carrying On About Purdue Basketball is a weekly column for all sports fans...not necessarily limited to college hoops junkies or the Boilermaker faithful. The goal is to write an in-depth story about the 2008-09 Purdue season, with a new chapter coming each week. COAPB will usually be published each Friday on BleacherReport.com.

Perfect Moment Monday is about noticing a perfect moment rather than creating one. Perfect moments can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between.
Please visit the links of the participants at the bottom.
Here's a perfect moment from my week. I hope you'll share yours, too.
My perfect moment this week was actually an entire evening, which included:
- A visit to the home of the lovely Amber, my editor at Mile High Mamas, where we were picked up by…
- A private bus that drove a dozen partying women (such as MamaBird, LifeNut, Greeblemonkey, and MomSlant) to Boulder, where we were dropped off at an…
- Art gallery, which had been converted for the evening into a Wii Fitness studio and was adorned with smelly-good oils and statues of the Buddha. After we got settled,
- Fitness trainers showed us all the bells and whistles of the Wii Fit Plus. I got to do yoga and some strength training — my first time on a Wii. I became a convert, and considered finally getting one for our family for Christmas. (Reed, I tell you, would be overjoyed to be able to play Star Wars Wii.)
- Said fitness trainers then offered us yummy and healthy hors d'oeuvres and some reseveretrol in the form of a ruby Merlot.
- Said fitness trainers THEN said that we had been such a great audience that they were giving each of us a new yoga mat, available in all the chakra colors. I got a purple one — woot!
- And THEN said fitness trainers said that we would each go home with our own WII FIT PLUS!
So I guess Reed will be getting HIS perfect moment on Christmas morning, as we now need a Wii system in order for me to enjoy my new toy.

Out with the Christmas garland, eggnog, and shortbread cookies, and in with the new. What might that be, you ask? Our vote goes to the hot new fermentation trend and its accoutrements, a space- and time-saving kitchen device, and a book from the hottest new chef of 2013.

Virginia Attorney General race: Candidates appoint transition teams in too close to call election
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - With 164 votes separating them in the race for attorney general, Democrat Mark Herring and Republican Mark Obenshain dug in Wednesday, each announcing transition teams.
Trailing, Obenshain said he would not consider conceding to Herring, a fellow member of the Virginia Senate, until after the State Board of Elections certified the Virginia-wide vote on Nov. 25. Herring declared himself the victor Tuesday night after Fairfax County officials counted provisional ballots, adding to his narrow lead.
But Obenshain called the move premature with a fraction of a percentage point separating the two after 2.2 million ballots were cast in the race.
"I'm not thumping my chest telling you that I have all the confidence in the world that the coin is going to land on my side," Obenshain said at a news conference. "I'm telling you anyone would be a fool to make that bet."
For his part, Herring looked ahead, announcing a transition team that included former first lady Anne Holton. She is the wife of U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and a former domestic relations and juvenile court judge. Two commonwealth attorneys were also named.
"Transitions are about new beginnings, and this transition will be a return to fundamentals," Herring said in a statement announcing his team. "We will get back to putting ideology and partisanship aside, and putting the law and Virginians first."
The reference was apparently to the man he hopes to succeed, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who lost in his Republican bid for governor. Cuccinelli has been an activist attorney general, unsuccessfully taking on the nation's health care law, among other conservative causes.
Obenshain, who represents the Harrisonburg area, announced a transition team that includes a former attorney general, Jerry Kilgore, and a former federal prosecutor and chief deputy attorney general under Cuccinelli, Chuck James.
While Obenshain didn't claim the state certification of votes would turn the election in his favor, he said he wanted to "respect the process" and wait until the tally was completed.
"I don't know who is going to move into the attorney general's office in January and, despite what Mark Herring says, he doesn't know either," Herring said. "It is important for us to allow the State Board of Elections to work and make sure every legitimate vote is counted."
Obenshain led on election night, but Herring has been adding to his total since then. He picked up votes in a Richmond canvas and Fairfax County absentees that hadn't been counted because of tabulation errors added 2,000 votes to his column over the weekend. He also widened his lead Tuesday night when Fairfax County officials tallied provisional votes. Those are ballots that were not counted on Election Day because a voter either lacked a proper identification or went to the wrong precinct.
Obenshain said he would not decide whether to seek a recount until after the state certifies the vote. While a recount has never reversed a statewide election contest, Obenshain pointed to legislation in 2008 that broadened the number of ballots that are checked in a recount.
"This is no man's land," he said. "Nobody's gone through this process in Virginia. I think it's anybody's guess as to how this race is going to be determined."
Lauren Harmon, executive director of the Democratic Party of Virginia, said after the Obenshain news conference that she was confident that Herring would emerge the victor.
"We believe once all the votes are counted, we're going to win and we're going to have Attorney General Herring," she said of the Loudoun County Democrat.
Asked about Obenshain naming a transition team, she added, "We think we're going to win but if he wants to be ready we're certainly not going to naysay him."
Virginia does not provide for an automatic recount. If the margin remains at less than one-half of one full percentage point between the candidates, the cost of a recount would be paid by taxpayers. If the margin was above that but below 1 percent, the candidate seeking the recount would pay for the recount.
If Herring prevails, it would be the first Democratic sweep of the top of the Virginia ticket in nearly a quarter century. Terry McAuliffe was elected governor and Ralph Northam lieutenant governor. Both are Democrats.

Paddle Holsters: Deliverance or Destruction?

In the current SWAT magazine, Warren Buttler pens an article about the bane of paddle holsters. I figured it would be a good discussion topic.
In the article, the author puts forth that the very design of the paddle holster is against the warrior mindset. The easy on, easy off holsters have made for people who keep taking their guns off at every possible opportunity. The author also doubts the security of the mounting system.
My thoughts: to start, I would also tend to agree that taking one's weapon off all the time leads to complacency as well as a loss of direct control of the weapon. Though some in law enforcement need frequently to divest themselves of their weapons for court, it is just as practical to simply put the pistol itself into the court weapons locker instead of removing the entire holster rig. Many paddle holsters have poor belt retention designs. The best of the breed, IMO, are the Safariland holsters which have a hook on the OUTSIDE of the pants, which tend to catch the belt if the rig slides up. Either way, I'm not really confident that these rigs will adequately retain the weapon if a wrestling contest for the weapon ensues. The worst part of the paddle design is that it causes the grip of the weapon to be pushed in toward the body. On thumb break holsters, this is extremely uncomfortable, and makes for a very awkward presentation as well. The only redeeming factor for the paddle holster is that women, whose business fashion tends not to favor heavy belts and pants with belt loops, can benefit from the added support and flexibility in placement that the paddle designs offer.
What's the bottom line? I wear a belt mounted holster daily, and prefer to suffer with the belt than have the imagined convenience of the paddle rig. If you're going to carry a weapon, take it seriously and take it everywhere.

A few scenario questions, I could use some advice!

1 - Unarmed guy facing an armed one will do 1 of 3 things: be compliant and do what you tell him to, run off, or charge. If the latter, fire away - it's a good bet he means you harm. Either way, best to know what you're pointing at, even if it means pretending to be asleep for a few extra seconds to observe.
2 - Be a good witness unless you personally are in danger of being harmed - should the robber decide to eliminate witnesses, protect yourself and others.
3 - Phone, 911, detailed description. There is nothing you can do from afar aside from that. You (presumably) are not a cop, the man with the gun very well might be and might not take too kindly to an armed stranger running up on a bust that he had under control 30 seconds beforehand
Oh and I forgot, my one scenario was if a guy had a gun pointed at his wife or whomever and clearly was enraged and stated he was going to kill her. If something like that were to happen and someone was killed, I would feel awful if I thought there was a chance I could have stopped it in any way.
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever get in the middle of a wife/husband fight, unless one of them is actually dead at the others' hands - even then, call 911. Been on the receiving end of many scratches from what appeared to be "damsels in distress" - trust me, the minute you go after their guy they will forget all about the threats to kill them and you will either be facing 2 opponents or 2 witnesses, not good either way.
A firearm is a last resort, not a overall problem solver - is it pax's sig that has a saying about giving a small boy a hammer? I don't mean that to be insulting, but every problem is
a nail

Barbarians, risen without trace
There was a time when even the National Party had some class.
It might have given us Sid Holland and Rob Muldoon, but it also gave us Ralph Hanan, Tom Shand, Brian Tallboys, Alan Highet, Les Gandar and Simon Power. Following every election, former provincial chairmen of Federated Farmers and sharp-eyed small-town accountants would be met at the doors of Parliament by a sleek collection of urbane professionals.
These men knew how to smooth the rough edges of their doltish country cousins and how to keep them at a safe distance from all those responsibilities of government requiring just a little more in the way of intellectual refinement than the average backbencher could muster.
It was, of course, an era when most conservatives (and even some on the Left) still respected the "natural social hierarchies". Old money wisely invested, an excellent education at expensive private schools, a decent law degree leading to a partnership in a well-established practice - these were the things that gave a man the "right to rule".
Privately, such men would acknowledge that their side had rather seriously "dropped the ball" in the 1920s and 30s. They knew how large a debt they owed to men like Savage, Fraser and Nash who had pulled local capitalism's irons out of the fire of the Great Depression.
The value of Labour's stabilisation policies - especially in the countryside - were quietly acknowledged and National was in no hurry to get rid of them. The unions needed a firm hand, of course, which is why they elevated a man like Sid Holland every now and again to put a bit of stick about. But, after the thrashing, it was to "Kiwi Keith" Holyoake that the "wise heads" of National turned. Someone who could keep the peace.
Though people were slow to register the fact, it was Rob Muldoon who undermined the "natural hierarchies" of New Zealand politics and opened the gates of New Zealand conservatism to the barbarians.
Some historians have described Muldoon as "the best leader Labour never had" and that, of course, was the explanation for his political success. As Labour, in its own way, began paying homage to the "natural social hierarchies" by selecting young urban professionals like Dr Michael Bassett and Richard Prebble to represent its solid working-class constituencies, Labour's supporters began edging away. Muldoon's pugnacious populism gave them somewhere to go.
"Rob's Mob", both within the National Party and the wider electorate, represented the revolt of the "average Kiwi" and the "ordinary bloke" against the "natural social hierarchies" of education, intellectual and cultural accomplishment and inherited wealth.
Muldoon's appointment of Merv Wellington as Minister of Education and Bert Walker as Minister of Social Welfare was all the proof sophisticated New Zealanders required that the Visigoths had entered Rome.
That Muldoon turned out to be the staunchest defender of the "stabilised" New Zealand society which emerged from World War II is ironic.
Well before most New Zealanders, he understood how deadly a threat the "free market" ideology posed to the unlikely alliance which, since the early 1950s, had united the fortunes of New Zealand's conservative working-class with its paternalistic, state- subsidised, ruling-class.
Neoliberalism was a radical economic and social doctrine destined to sweep away not only the organised labour movement, but also the social power of both intellectual accomplishment and "old money". Muldoon's populism undermined the "wise heads" by proclaiming the "Mob" their equals, but in doing so he opened the door to a radical Right-wing movement that would undermine the "Mob's" security forever. Henceforth, the only hierarchy that mattered would be the hierarchy of money.
And so, in 2012, the National Party is led by a man with a personal fortune of $55 million. Not old money, either, but as new as computerised currency trading.
His right-hand man, Steven Joyce, is another of these "new" men, these National politicians who've "risen without trace".
Entrepreneurial in politics as well as business, their values are those of self-made people everywhere. Only results count. Intelligence must pay its way. The world does not reward you for what you know, only for what you do. The successful man backs his judgment by any and all available means. Truth counts for a great deal less than utility.
Overwhelmingly, they are men and women who dwell in the present. Because nothing is more subversive of their self-perception than the past. History reminds them that, ultimately, more men fail than succeed, and that nothing has more utility than the truth.
History reveals that the only deeds which endure are those that enrich the human condition and extend the range and depth of human knowledge: that giving counts for more than taking.
History tells them that the quality that gave the governments of National's "wise heads" both their class, and their longevity, was humility.
