Video: Ovechkin juggles puck then scores top corner
Jan 25, 2014, 9:02 PM EST
The Washington Capitals have clearly missed Alex Ovechkin. And Ovechkin, well, he clearly missed scoring goals.
After missing the previous two games with a groin injury, Ovechkin, the Capitals star, returned to the lineup against the struggling Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. And, as he often does, Ovechkin scored another beautiful goal – his 36th of the season – to get his team on the board.
Ovechkin juggled a bouncing puck with his stick at the side of the net, then went top corner from a difficult angle in close on Carey Price. The Capitals went on to build a 4-0 lead after the second period, which resulted in Price getting the hook from the net.

Nice goal. Even if he doesn't use the impressive hand-eye coordination there it's probably not a good thing to leave a 50 goal scorer alone with a clear lane to the net and no one even looking his way. Did the Habs have enough skaters on the ice? I only counted 4 and it's not listed as PP goal.
- mp1131211 - Jan 25, 2014 at 9:28 PM
The habs are a total mess today. I'm pretty sure they had a full line out there.
- killerpgh - Jan 25, 2014 at 9:33 PM
Seems to be a lot of games today with only 1 team showing up.
If you pause the video at :35 I only count 4 Habs. AO is by himself to the right of the screen.
- mp1131211 - Jan 25, 2014 at 9:37 PM
just watched it in GC. There was :02 left on PP. But you're right, it is not listed as PP.
- dcfan4life - Jan 26, 2014 at 5:56 PM
The PP had just ended so not technically a PP goal. Hence why Ovie was open before anyone could get to him.
- Stiller43 - Jan 25, 2014 at 9:33 PM
Okay, first let me preface this whole thing by delcaring that i indeed hate ovi.
HOWEVER, he is an immensely talented goal scorer.
The "juggling" (if you can call batting it once or twice juggling), any player north of C leage can do.
And "top corner?" He elevated it, it hit price and banked in…he's scored MUCH much better goals in his sleep. This is way overhyped.
- imf311 - Jan 25, 2014 at 9:56 PM
Feel better now?
- dcfan4life - Jan 26, 2014 at 5:58 PM
If anyone north of the C League can "juggle a puck" thats in mid air and rotating in a game, how come no matter how many hockey games any of us have watched, we never see that done well enough to score?

Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch did a live Q & A with John Davidson and Blues fans….
Do the blues have any interest in acquring a more experienced Goalie like Curtis Joseph to backup goaltender Manny Legace if he would go down with an injury? Thanks for your time.
Jeremy Rutherford (typing for J.D.): No. We feel stronogly about Manny finishing the season the way he's played all season. We feel that Hannu Toivonen has earned the opportunity. He's a great teammate. He's above .500.
much, much more…

Yet another public bf question

I've been reading, as many of us have, the new stories, blog posts etc about the whole Kochie breastfeeding carry on, and it's got me wondering about this lovely word "discreet".
So my question to you is, well, there are a couple of them:
1. How important was being "discreet" to you when bf in public?
2. What do you consider being "discreet"? What specific bits are considered indiscreet in your opinion?
3. Did you use a wrap or blanket to cover up when feeding in public?
4. Any other thoughts on "being discreet" and what it means to you.
I shall start.
1. It was really, really important to me to start with, and only ever got a bit less so with subsequent children. That, however, is MY issue. I have always been very shy about my lack-of-breasts, so have always been very reluctant to "get the girls out", so to speak. It has, however, absolutely NOTHING to do with the delicate sensibilities of others, unless, perhaps the elderly of some types. I think my father, for example, might possibly have fainted if I just whipped one out, lol.
2. For me showing nipple was the ultimate in indiscreet, and by the time the 3rd kid weaned it was the ONLY thing that was indiscreet, lol. I did, however, try and wear tops that would pull up, rather than ones that pulled down where the whole top of the breast would be exposed.
3. Sometimes, yes, but only with very young babies, they ripped it off when they were older. Like, older than about 3 months. I also only used it for either warmth or shade, or if I was wearing the wrong kind of top as said in point #2
4. Am having an interesting discussion with someone on Twitter about his/her "right to an opinion" on this topic, and am reminded of this excellent article https://theconversation.edu.au/no-youre-not...ur-opinion-9978 Is it an opinion when you're simply WRONG?
Posted 21 January 2013 - 09:44 PM
I personally did not feel comfortable breastfeeding in front of others - I only did it in front of DH, my mum, and a couple of friends. I felt a lot more at ease, personally, with a cover. But I've had several girl friends who breastfed in public or in front of me and I don't really care what they do....that just so happens to be my personal preference.
I have slightly mixed feelings on this. No mum should feel like she has to feed her baby in a dirty toilet of a restaurant. But I respect that there are differing views on this, particularly coming from a culture where it is not as common to breastfeed in front of men. If I'm, say, dining at a family friend's house with an elderly couple, I would use a cover. It's like being in somebody's house where they remove their shoes before entering. You might wear shoes indoors all the time and there's nothing wrong with wearing shoes inside the house, but it's polite to respect other people's customs and rules.

Being discreet was extremely important to me. Actually, I preferred not to feed in public, because being discreet enough, while being comfortable, was tricky. So I tended to seek out empty rooms and private spaces.
To me, being discreet meant not letting others see my breasts. So, something like, drape wrap over shoulder, adjust clothing, attach baby under wrap, when she's finished, adjust clothing, remove wrap.
I realise not everyone manages wraps and the like, but I do get a bit taken aback when some feeding mothers don't seem to care or try to cover themselves at all.
For me, this is partly about my own modesty (yes, I realise it's a loaded term because it implies that people who are different are immodest, but seriously, what word would you use for the desire not to expose yourself?), and mostly because I think most other people don't want to, and shouldn't have to, see my breasts. It wouldn't be ok in any other context, so it doesn't seem ok while breastfeeding, if I have any other reasonable option.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 09:49 PM
1. I've only had one child, and our breastfeeding relationship only lasted for a couple of months, so I'm not the most experienced of mothers in this regard! I didn't have too much of a chance to breastfeed in public, but the few times I did, I really pushed myself to do it openly. I wanted to feel carefree about it, because I've always believed that it's a natural thing that mothers should be able to do anytime, anywhere. Did I feel self-conscious about it? Totally! But I knew how I felt about bfing, and figured that if I believed it for others, I really needed to live it! I figured I would just follow the adage of, "fake it till you make it", and just did it as quickly and seemingly-confidently as I could, hoping that over time the confidence to not care what other people thought would come.
2. For me, personally, I wasn't worried about nipple any more than I was about boob, or any more than I was about having a baby attached. I definitely don't feel that one part of it is more 'discreet' than others. Or in other words, it's just not about being 'discreet' - that term is irrelevant to breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is just breastfeeding. Either I did it, or I didn't.
3. Only in front of my dad and brothers. Coming from a traditional eastern European household, I knew they wouldn't feel comfortable. I did breastfeed in front of my father-in-law though. I later found out through my DH that my FIL and MIL were so chuffed that i felt comfortable enough to bf openly in front of them. I'm so grateful to have great ILs.

I've tried to be as discreet as possible when I've been out feeding. I'm not one to get my boobs out generally (although funnily enough I dress with a bit more cleavage showing now I have big milky DDs ) and breastfeeding hasn't changed that. I'm fortunate that my boobs aren't so enormous that they're hard to manage, DS latches quickly and easily and almost always has, and I could generally always tell when he was about to pop off and prepare myself to cover up.
My line of discretion has generally been nipple, although I'm sure at various points people have seen those too. I go stir crazy sitting at home, and DS spent about six months feeding every two hours, so I got a lot of practice at feeding in public. The speed with which I could attach him got pretty good - DH often commented at how impressed he was at how little I managed to flash.
My attire has generally been BF singlet with a tshirt over the top, so I could pull the shirt up, pop the cup down and put the baby on. By the time his enormous head was in the way you could barely tell there was a boob out. There have been times when I've been wearing something that exposes the top of my breast as well, and it's been a bit odd to me at first but I've gotten used to it pretty quickly. I used a cover once when I went to lunch with old work colleagues when DS was six weeks, and it was a pain in the butt. The only reason I used it then was because there were people I'd only met once or twice and I couldn't be bothered with any weirdness.
General thoughts? The whole concept of discreet is really p*ssing me off the last few days. What I've just described above is, to me, pretty discreet. I know there are some who would read it and think I was being too modest and worrying too much, and others who would think I was showing too much. It feels like in the last few days discreet has become code for "not near me thanks"
ETA - in regards to your comment Ninjah about is it an opinion when you're wrong? No, I don't think it is. I got caught up in some arguments on FB the last few days with people saying "he has a right to his opinion" or "I support breastfeeding, but in my opinion they should cover up". To me, in this situation, it's pretty clear cut. The law says it's ok to feed anywhere, so if you don't like it, it's up to you to avoid the situation. And the "I support breastfeeding but . . ." to me just feels like "I'm not racist, but . . ."

Stopwhiningatme, your confusion is kind of the reason for this post - I'm not sure what it means either, as surely it's totally subjective, and yet all and sundry in the media have been throwing around the word "discreet" willy nilly!

I try to cover up as much as possible but it's not my main priority when feeding. I'd rather expose my boob than my stomach. Usually is wear singlets I could just lift up but some clothes I have require me to flip it out. Now that I'm pregnant though I invested in breastfeeding and nursing dresses so try have special boob hole for me to feed through.
There is no way in hell DS would feed under a cover.
I breastfeed everywhere and do so in front of my dad and FIL. I have no idea if they feel uncomfortable and tbh I don't really care if they are as they will deal with it themselves.
The only place I do not feed is on the train in peek hour. Because it is too crowded and DS is so lon now that he would be hangin into someone else's lap (he only feeds cradle held now still at 15 months).

I much prefer "RELEASE THE HOUNDS" a la Mr Burns
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:00 PM
I might add, I think a couple of other things probably influence how people measure their own level of discretion.
1. How big your boobs are. It's much easier to be discreet if they aren't giant boobs of milk-filled doom!
2. What you're wearing. I wasn't able to find much in the way of (affordable, well-fitting) breastfeeding tops, so I tended to want the wrap to cover what the clothes wouldn't. If I'd had good feeding tops which exposed very little, I might have felt the need for other covers less.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:04 PM
I think I feed pretty discretely. I wear a singlet under my top so I lift up my top, unclip my bra and cup my boob in my hand until I can get DS attention and then allow him to attach straight away. I then mostly cover the top part of my breast still exposed just my adjusting my top. This is how I feel comfortable feeding in public so that is how I do it. I don't use any covers or wraps though.
I don't care how others feed their babies. Every woman I have seen feed in public has shown less or about as much skin than I have seen on girls parading around their bikinis at the beach!

Great topic! I too have been discussing the relativism of 'discreet'!!
1. Initially I wouldn't leave the house in fear of needing to feed somewhere uncomfortable, foreign or in public! But once we got the hang of things (she would have been about 9 weeks), I didn't really care. I was feeding my child and that was all there was to it.
2. If I had sat somewhere wearing no top at all, and both of the girls were out to be seen, then that was indiscreet. But as far as I was concerned, if I was wearing a t-shirt (and feeding her tucked under it) or a singlet (and just the once side was slightly pulled down for her to feed), then I was being discreet. I have smalls breasts, so for someone to cop a look, they would really have to be starring at me. I also had a fussy feeder who was on and off all the time. I did try to cover myself if she came off, but that wasn't always feasible, especially when trying to guide her back on. So my nipples have probably been on display inadvertently.
3. I attempted to use a smock and a wrap while feeding, but it was a giant PITA!!! In the early days I couldn't control my let down properly. Coupled with that and the awkwardness that feeding was, a cover got in the way (or wet!). By the time I had it together, she was pulling it down and it would distract her. It was put in the too hard basket pretty early on for me.
4. From discussions I have been involved in, it appears that it boils down to the size of the nursing Mum. Bigger busted women seem to 'offend' others more easily than those with smaller busts. Which I find disgraceful. The size of a woman's breasts should not impact their decision where and when to feed their babies.
From my experiences, the women who are seemingly against it have never breastfed themselves and are generally of a mindset that 'bottle is better'. And I must admit, they are (generalising here, but this is my experience) of an age and era, where formula was the preferred and promoted option in their day. So by contrast, the increase in breastfeeding women today, is seen as women being overtly sexual, rather than accepting that it is what is biologically normal - whether they did it or not, whether they like it or not.
There is a very big misunderstanding surrounding breast feeding. Unless you have breastfed yourself, I believe it is very difficult to fully understand and appreciate. And I am the first person to admit that my views and feelings on it before nursing, were very different to what they are post. I wouldn't hesitate to breast feed any other children I may have and only hope that if I do, I can do so for longer than I was able to with DD.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:06 PM
I used nipple shields for some of the time, so my 'discreet' was nipping to the loo prefeed, or wrangling it down my top. I wouldn't have felt comfortable exposing my nipple and applying the shield in public. But - this is my preference, and while I've never seen anyone put a shield on in public, it wouldn't bother me (now) if they did.
I didn't use a cover but was otherwise reasonably 'discreet' (or are we calling it classy nowadays?). But that was partly because DD only fed for 3 months, and partly luck that she wasn't a baby who pulled off the nipple frequently.
I can't be bothered replying in the other thread, but it does tick me off when women say "well,I fed 2 babies discreetly..." it doesn't take much imagination to realise that not every baby feeds like yours!!!
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:09 PM
1. How important was being "discreet" to you when bf in public?
When I first started bf, I didn't bf in public (I did use the parent's room, if one was available, but I don't consider that "public"). I needed to use a nipple shield for quite a while (problems getting bubby to latch properly), & I just didn't have enough hands to hold the shield & my squirming baby & not "flash" my entire breast while doing so. I wasn't comfortable baring my breast for all & sundry - I didn't really care what anyone else thought.
Once I became more proficient at bf & no longer needed the shield, I wasn't fazed about bf wherever I needed to. I wear clothing that is easy to feed in (for my own convenience) & a "bonus" of that is that very little of my breast is "on display", even when bubby's not attached.
When at a friend's house/party, I sometimes go to another room - but that is more for my own comfort & perhaps less noise/distractions for bubby.
2. What do you consider being "discreet"? What specific bits are considered indiscreet in your opinion?
For me personally, I prefer not to flash my entire breast. I don't really care what others do (can't say I've really noticed, I'm focussed on my DS & his needs). As has been pointed out in other threads on this debate, one person's "discreet" can be another's "exhibitionist".
3. Did you use a wrap or blanket to cover up when feeding in public?
Sometimes. Particularly when DS was very small - less distractions for him with a bit of a cover (generally a muslin) & warmer in winter. As he got older, he'd just pull the wrap away, so no point using one. In fact, it just made bf more difficult - he'd squirm more, be more distracted & do the whole detach/re-attach thing (& subsequently "flashing" far more than I felt comfortable with). Without a cover, he'd generally just get down to the business of feeding & it would be much more relaxed for us both.
4. Any other thoughts on "being discreet" and what it means to you.
As previously stated, for me, "discreet" means "not flashing my whole breast". That is what I'm comfortable with, for me. I don't think I apply this to others, though. Haven't really had this tested, as I haven't been around that many bf women... or maybe I have & it's just not on my radar...
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:12 PM
No longer use wrap but have with previous babies.i wear BF clothes as much as possible but otherwise I lift my shirt so never show the top of my boob. I feel comfortable if I'm covered like that and babies head hides the rest. I try to be quick to be discreet. I fed in public, at nursing homes, cafes, planes, at work, friends houses and in front of male family members (dad, brother) many times. I prefer to feed at home in first few weeks to be in a really comfortable chair.
If I need to feed in front of a male I don't know well (friends DH or parents friends) I move away to feed though....
Seriously I'm not trying to give anyone an eyeful of boob, I'm just focused on getting nutrition into my baby as soon as possible.

I don't think I've ever seen someone feeding that I felt was being "indiscreet", and with 3 children, many ABA meetings, playgroups, swimming lessons etc etc under my belt I've seen quite a few babies being fed!
My children weren't particularly easy feeders, they didn't like blankets or wraps and I was usually at least an E cup while feeding so had to "shape" the nipple for them to latch, I still think people would have been having to look pretty carefully to see anything more than someone unclipping at ugly bra or removing/replacing a breast pad!
I was very jealous of a friend who could manage to walk around the shops while her baby breastfed. She was standing in a queue one day and the guy in front commented on the cute baby and then went bright red and apologised - he'd been standing there chatting to her and hadn't even realised she was feeding her baby! Yet many would say that walking around with a baby attached to your boob was indiscreet!

One of the people I was "discussing" this with wondered why a breastfeeding mother wouldn't choose to use a parenting room in a cafe or shopping centre. I tried to explain that it can take up to 30 minutes, and why on earth would you want to sit apart from those you're dining with for 30 minutes to do something that could just as easily be done at the table.
Disclaimer - I realise not all breastfeeding mothers can or want to sit at a communal table to feed, some prefer the privacy.
But for those who are at a stage where it's not a big deal, I was trying to get the point across that there is simply no need to go elsewhere.
This person kept pushing the point that they felt they had a "right" to eat out in public and not "cop an eyeful" (an expression I NEVER want to hear again).
Do they have that right? I think a mother doing her utmost to allow as little breast as possible to be copping and eyeing other people has more right to feed her baby than others have to be offended.
Posted 21 January 2013 - 10:22 PM
It wasn't that important to me to be discreet. I mean, I didn't try to flash anything just for the sake of flashing it (I'm sure there must be one person out there who does this - seems like there will be that one person for everything - but I think generally mothers are more concerned with getting on with it and accusations of "flashing" are a bit of a stretch to me, especially if applied broadly). I was photographed breastfeeding for the newspaper for breastfeeding week so obviously being discrete wasn't super-important because everyone in the country had a chance to see me!
If I was pulling a top down to expose the top of the breast, sometimes I covered the area with my hand, if one of my hands was free.
If my baby latched off leaving me swinging in the breeze I tried to get them latched back on or I re-dressed myself or covered myself temporarily, but I wasn't in a mad panic to do any of those.
I used a shawl briefly with my first, but as you said it didn't work for long because once he got old enough to throw it off, he did, every time. Otherwise I kind of expected people to not bother about it.
I was less discreet with my second because I had less hands free and was busier doing other things than rearranging shawls or tucking myself away - not really any other reason. Also because my first was highly distractable we were sort of confined to feeding rooms from the time he was four months old just because he wouldn't feed otherwise! So I guess that's pretty discreet, but modesty wasn't my motivation.
The thing is, nobody ever complained to me about anything, at any point. I've heard there's people out there who are offended, but it seems like they're in such a minority they're not really worth worrying too much about?

I was such a novice at being a mum. I was 27 but really no experience at all in children/babies. What I did know was that I wanted to breast feed and I did until my daughter was 18 months.
13 years ago it NEVER occured to me it would not be ok to feed my baby where ever she needed to be fed. Until I saw peoples reactions. At the time, I thought, what's their problem and got on with it, now I realise what a big issue it is.
But WHY?? Babies need food, mum's feed them. I am not the type of person to parade my girls (boobs) out on display. I'm kind of shy that way. If my daughter would have fed with a cover I probably would have in public. But she wouldn't so I just fed her in a discreet way. In fact my husband kind of requsted cover up for a little while, until he realised that wasn't working and he relaxed about breastfeeding. I don't know about other mum's but after a while me and bub got quite good at 'assuming the position' quickly. Any one looking on would have had to look VERY hard to see anything offensive. I was not locking myself away in a room just so I could feed my baby.
Having said that my poor dad nearly had a heart attack the first time I fed my 6 month old in front of him. And my mother breastfed all 3 of us children. Go figure.
Really. I do not understand the issue. It is not a strip show, you are not being rude.
Once upon a time I was told 'When people say nasty things about you, it's mostly because they are jealous". Maybe it's a case of that??? Just saying...

I fed anywhere and everywhere. I'm not sure I ever gave anyone an eyeful but it never concerned me.
I breastfed on the stairs of Government House in Wellington while chatting to the security guard.
My oldest is nearly 20 now and it amazes me that this is even open to discussion. 20 years ago I didn't feel like a rebel or an outlier, I was simply feeding my child.

This person kept pushing the point that they felt they had a "right" to eat out in public and not "cop an eyeful" (an expression I NEVER want to hear again).
Do they have that right? I think a mother doing her utmost to allow as little breast as possible to be copping and eyeing other people has more right to feed her baby than others have to be offended.
I agree. I truly think the vast majority of breastfeeding mothers do their utmost to expose as little as possible, more for their own comfort than anything else. My public BF days are basically over as DS only has an early morning feed now, but when I was BFing in public a lot I think it would've been pretty tough for anyone to "cop an eyeful". They would have to be staring intently at my breast and manage to not blink in the few seconds it took for DS to latch on. Frankly, if someone is doing that, they have bigger issues.
I find it particularly amusing (and rage inducing, but trying to remain calm) when people have said they don't want to see breastfeeding in a cafe, or a restaurant, or a food court. Me BFing my child is exactly the same as me handing my child a sandwich - I'm feeding a child. And if you're sitting in the same area, you're feeding yourself.

1. How important was being "discreet" to you when bf in public?
In an ideal situation I wouldn't be uncovered more than necessary for longer than necessary, but life happens, I wouldn't be losing any sleep if someone did see a lot more than I meant them to.
2. What do you consider being "discreet"? What specific bits are considered indiscreet in your opinion?
I find it indiscreet to leave your breast out for longer than needed eg you've finished feeding and leave it out while burping etc. Or to have both breasts uncovered at a time when only one at a time is necessary.
If I'm visiting you in your own home, okay it's your house do whatever you want. But if we're out in the general public, I think it's just impolite and inconsiderate of others.
3. Did you use a wrap or blanket to cover up when feeding in public?
Nope. I usually wore bfing tops or used the layering system as I personally felt more comfortable with less skin showing. However I bfed Autumn to Spring when it was cooler, if it was summer I may have just worn a regular singlet and pull down.
4. Any other thoughts on "being discreet" and what it means to you.
I feel that being discreet means trying to being respectful of others around you, which I think the majority of bfing mothers are.
I dislike the attitude of a select few that purposely draw attention to their bfing just because they have the right to feed whenever wherever (eg those pulling down their whole boob tube to feed totally topless in a shopping centre and then yelling at anyone who dares to give a look). I suppose I meant the purposely confrontational bfer.
I know some ppl think it will help normalise bfing, but I think it has the opposite effect on the people that are already wary of it when it just appears to be exhibitionism.

I just released a boob and stuck my baby on it. My boobs were massive, bigger than my babes' heads. I figured anyone who had an issue didn't need to watch. For me personally it was all about biological function. My baby needed feeding and so I fed the baby. Breastfeeding was hard enough for me without having to worry about blankets and being discreet.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 12:28 AM
1. How important was being "discreet" to you when bf in public?
I tried to latch baby, that was the focus, it wasn't that I wanted to be on display it's that sometimes dd took longer to latch. I would rather it happened quickly. I don't know what discreet is, I wore a bfing bra, that covered some of my breast but I'm not big so not that much to see.
2. What do you consider being "discreet"? What specific bits are considered indiscreet in your opinion?
Just getting breast out for feeding and putting it away when baby had finished. Isn't that enough?
I don't care if it is discreet or not. It's about the baby's mouth hitting a target, it's not a big target but its trickier for women who have larger breasts and may need to handle the breast to help with positioning, easy if you are like me (ie an easy target).
3. Did you use a wrap or blanket to cover up when feeding in public?
Never, but I was wearing clothes each time I ventured out of the house .
I had much more of an issue with me showing my pudgy belly than my breast or nipple, I always wore a singlet and pulled that down and my top up. Easy.
4. Any other thoughts on "being discreet" and what it means to you.
It's a loaded word, too open to interpretation. I think it just loads the whole exerise (ie public bfing) with stress and anxiety
I think as individuals we all bfeed a little differently, I think we need to accept that and if another member of the public has a problem with looking at a womans breast or a baby bfing then that person will have to look somewhere else, keep calm and carry on.
Sometimes I don't care what other people think about what I am doing, bfing is one of those situations. I've got better things to do that worry about others. I haven't got the mental energy to be second guessing all the time. I don't tend to over-expose my flesh with my clothing choices anyway, I didn't approach bfing any differently.
If a man or a woman is more comfortable about showing flesh then so be it, he/she is braver than me, less hung up and it's none of my business. I can look away at any time if I don't like what I see.
I often don't like what I see at my local shopping centre or on the train, that would be my problem though, wouldn't it?

"Yeah, truck."
Great mileage, and has given me no problems. The engine doesn't have as much torque as many would like. The limited slip diff will lock both rear wheels , which helps alot in the snow or ice. The seats are comfy, but anyone in the back seats will be uncomfortable.

Raymond A. Syms11 May, 10
Leading Heliport Development Firm Raymond A. Syms & Associates recently made its Hospital Heliport Facility and Training Manual Training Aid available free of charge as a service to heliport proponents throughout the United States.
Next to design faults, the most common cause of helicopter accidents at heliports is human error. Most of these errors could have been avoided with proper training and heliport operational knowledge. Heliport operators can help protect their heliport operation with a Heliport Facility and Training Manual.
Developed by Raymond A. Syms and Associates, a leader in heliport design and implementation, the manual is designed to help qualified helicopter aviation professionals develop a specific heliport safety, training and operations program to assist the safe and efficient operation of their facility. This valuable document covers all aspects of the safe operation of single-ship rooftop heliports, including safety management systems, downwash awareness, and helicopter safety.
The manual includes the following samples: Pilot Briefing Sheet, Facility Information Sheet, Emergency Procedures and Notification Sheets, Campus Map with Labels, Security Policy, Heliport and Helicopter Safety and Training Program and checklist, and clear descriptions of departmental responsibilities and guidelines regarding the safe operation of a single-aircraft, rooftop heliport. A valuable inclusion to a Safety Management System, the manual gives particular attention to helicopter safety, downwash awareness and potential heliport hazards.
By walking through the manual and filling in the specific details of their own facility, heliport operators can have a valuable resource for both operators and users of their site. The rooftop heliport has the most systems and interfaces of most civil heliports, ground level and other heliports can apply the principals to their own operations.
To access the document, please click here. Don't let staff who are inexperienced around helicopters and heliports, or helicopter operators unfamiliar with your operation, put your heliport in jeopardy of an accident. For a copy of this guide for your own use and/or assistance in tailoring it to your heliport's specific operations, please call 732-870-8883 or e-mail [email protected].
About Raymond A. Syms
Raymond A. Syms is a highly qualified and experienced helicopter pilot with over 10,000 flight hours. He is a senior member and Chairman of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 418, Fire Protection for Heliports Committee. He has also been a research contractor to the FAA and long–time member of the FAA/Industry Heliport Working Group that produced past editions of the FAA Heliport Design Advisory Circulars and also serves on the HAI Fly Neighborly, Heliport and Flight Operations Committee.

Ohio home sale activity up 11% in March
Send this to a friend
- Olivia Barrow
- Senior Reporter- Dayton Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
The housing market in Ohio is nearing a two-year streak of improvements.
The number of single-family homes and condominiums put under contract in March rose for the 23rd month in a row compared to the year before, according to the Ohio Association of Realtors.
"With each passing month, it's becoming more evident that the Ohio housing marketplace is making significant progress in its on-going recovery from the economic collapse that shook the very foundation of the American Dream," said OAR President Thomas Williams, in a press release.
Williams said the numbers show that Ohioans still consider home-ownership a worthwhile investment.
The pending home sales index reached 134.6 in March, indicating the level of activity was 34.6 percent higher than in 2008, which was considered a health, balanced market. The number also rose 10.8 percent from the score in March of last year.
The index provides a reliable look at where the housing market is heading in the next few months.

Nadal out of Buenos Aires tournament
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Rafael Nadal will miss next week's ATP tournament in Buenos Aires following a stomach bug that has hindered his recovery from the back injury he sustained at the Australian Open.
"I had a stomach virus that has not allowed me to train this morning (Thursday) and I have had to put back everything," the world number one said on his website (www.rafaelnadal.com).
"We are three days from the start of the tournament and without having been able to train a single day since Australia it means it has been impossible for me to prepare sufficiently to compete in an event so important as Buenos Aires."
Nadal's back injury contributed to his surprise four-set defeat by Switzerland's number eight seed Stanislas Wawrinka in the Australian Open final at the end of January.

Camp Lopez is trying to stomp out the rumors that divorce is on the horizon:
Jennifer Lopez has denied further rumors her marriage to Marc Anthony is in trouble, insisting she didn't wear her wedding ring to the Golden Globes because 'it didn't go with the dress.' The actress made the bizarre remark after she was snapped posing on the red carpet at the awards ceremony without her wedding band.
But J. Lo insists she was just making a fashion statement. She told American magazine In Touch: "Every time I'm not wearing my ring, people think I'm getting divorced. "That's crazy. It just didn't go with the dress. Divorce is not and was never an option."
The couple has been dogged by break-up reports for weeks, with one U.S. tabloid claiming the couple will announce a break-up publicly on Valentine's Day. Publicists for the couple have dismissed the report as "nonsense".
What the hell does she mean by "divorce is not and was never an option"? Are they willing to stay together, even if they're thwacking each other upside the head every day? And what's this bullsh*t about the ring not matching with the dress? This crap sounds suspect indeed. Trifling.

Phillips Lytle has 'smart' clients
Send this to a friend
- Jim Fink
- Reporter
Clients, friends and other assorted folks on the Phillips Lytle mailing list recently received a gift in the mail from the law firm.
In the package was a thumb drive that when plugged into your computer or laptop took you to a fire-engine red button with the word "smart" smack dab in the middle. A click on the "smart" button directed people to Phillips Lytle's recently re-worked web site.
Personally, it reminded me of "A Christmas Story" when Ralphie plays along with the Little Orphan Annie secret decoder, only to find it was a cheap plug for Ovaltine.
Becky Farbo, Phillips Lytle's chief marketing officer, said the firm sent out or gave away some 1,500 of these thumb drives - and, no, she hadn't thought of the Ovaltine scene.
Phillips Lytle has been known for its often times "tongue-in-cheek" gag gifts it sends out to clients and other assorted folks. They are frequently anticipated and generate a lot of buzz.
For instance, a few years back the firm send out toy rubber fishes.
To illustrate an obscure law the firm had to research for a client. The law said it was illegal to send fish via parcel post. Don't ask why the law exists, it makes no sense to anyone with more than a first grade education.
It also drives home the point that Phillips Lytle wants to be known as a leading law firm, Farbo said.
The gifts are cute but also serve an underlying purpose, too.
"We want people to remember us," Farbo said.
Phillips Lytle has also sent out Slinky-like toys as a promo for its environmental law department and mini Etch-A-Sketches that encouraged clients to creatively invest in Buffalo.

WASHINGTON — Food, beverage and consumer products manufacturers are in the process of eliminating 4 billion lbs of packaging waste over a 15-year time period, according to the Grocery Manufacturers Association.
The G.M.A. said recent research shows 1.5 billion lbs have been eliminated since 2005, including more than 800 million lbs of plastic and more than 500 million lbs of paper. In addition, the industry will reduce another 2.5 billion lbs of packaging waste by 2020.
"Across the board the food, beverage and consumer products industry has been vigilant in its efforts to reduce its environmental footprint," said Pamela G. Bailey, president and chief executive officer of the G.M.A. "When it comes to eliminating packaging from the supply chain, we have already made significant progress, but we know we can do more. We look forward to meeting this goal to eliminate four billion pounds of packaging by 2020."
The G.M.A. estimates the greenhouse gas emissions avoided by this reduction will have the equivalent impact of removing 815,000 cars from the road or 363,000 homes from the energy grid for one year.
"In eliminating this packaging from the supply chain, we are reducing a significant volume of waste that would otherwise end up in landfills, but the benefits go far beyond that," said John Shanahan, senior director of energy and environmental policy at the G.M.A. "Companies are reporting that packaging improvements are also enabling them to ship more units per truckload, reduce green house gas emissions and conserve resources such as water and energy."

Biggest law firms cut attorney ranks by 4%
Send this to a friend
- Eric Snyder
- Staff Writer
The number of attorneys working in the nation's 250 largest law firms has dropped by 4 percent according to an annual survey released this week by The National Law Journal. It's the largest decline in the history of the headcount, which began in 1978.
The 250 biggest firms employed 126,669 attorneys, down more than 5,000 from last year.
It marked only the third time the total headcount has decreased.
The headcount most recently decreased in 1993, when it fell by 0.9 percent; it also fell by 1 percent in 1992. Over the past 20 years, average growth has been 4 percent, the Law Journal reports.
According to the survey, the recent declines have negated a third of the growth enjoyed by law firms in the past five years, with several falling below their 2005 levels.
The cut off to make this year's list of the 250 largest law firms was 164 lawyers.

Title: Twisted hibiscus tree in Plainfield, IN
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have just bought 4 twisted hibiscus trees and repotted them immediately then brought them into my screened in porch until I was certain the weather would be safe to keep them outside (I live in Central Indiana). I watered them adequately upon transplanting and then 2 days after that our weather turned really cold and ugly, rainy with temps in the low 40's. I have since noticed my trees to be drooping badly, losing leaves and the yellowing of the leaves. Is there anything I can do to help save them and/or will they turn around on there own once our weather bounces back (it is supposed to turn sunny and get into the high 70's beginning tomorrow). Should I set them outside when this warm spell begins, will this help revive them? Any advice is appreciated as I don't want to lose them, I have always had good luck with Hibiscus in pots around our home in the summer. Thanks
There are about 300 species of the genus Hibiscus, a few of them native to North America. However, the natives are all found in the South and Southwest portions of the United States. The hibiscus is considered a tropical plant, hardy in Zones 8 to 10. The "twisted hibiscus" had us puzzled for a while, as we thought this was perhaps a new species name, but apparently is just a trade name for a hibiscus that has been rather radically altered by pruning.
Plainfield Indiana, in Central Indiana, appears to be in USDA Hardiness zone 5a, with average annual minimum temperatures of -20 to -15 deg F. Apparently, what happened is that you bought some plants that had been grown in greenhouses, shipped in protected conditions, and then moved into the showroom of the store, which is usually also a greenhouse. Suddenly, you introduced it to the real world in Indiana, with a fast-dropping temperature. You would probably lose leaves, too, if that happened to you.
Since the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to the care and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which they are being grown, the tropical non-natives are out of our range of expertise, and we have no information on them in our Native Plant Database. We think your plant is partly suffering from transplant shock and partly from the cold conditions it experienced rather abruptly. We found a website from Hidden Valley Hibiscus that might help-Tropical Hibiscus Care.

How to Make "Dipped" Deer Cupcake Toppers
Delight small holiday guests with easy-to-create (and oh-so-cute!) "dipped" deer figurines. Sealed with food-safe shellac, these cupcake toppers can be used again and again.
By: Erika Snayd
Materials Needed:
- plastic deer figurines
- spray primer
- gold acrylic paint
- red acrylic paint
- food-safe spray shellac
- small paintbrush
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- 12" wooden skewers
Prime Deer
On a protected surface, evenly coat deer figurines with white spray primer.
Paint Gold Legs
Once primer has dried, use a brush to coat deer's legs with gold paint (Image 1). With a steady hand, paint a straight horizontal line around the deer's middle to create the illusion that the deer have been dipped into gold paint (Image 2). Set aside and allow paint to thoroughly dry.
Final Touches
Once gold paint has dried, add a small dot of red acrylic paint to tip of deer's nose. Spray entire figurine with food-safe shellac and allow to dry. Cut skewers into three equal pieces, each measuring approximately four inches in length. Add a small dab of hot glue to skewer's tip and immediately press onto the deer's belly. Allow glue to set then insert dowel into cupcake.
