|Shawn Thornton will have hearing, 'feels awful' for hit on Brooks Orpik
|12.07.13 at 10:36 pm ET
Nearing tears in front of his locker stall in the Bruins locker room after Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins, an emotionally shaken Shawn Thornton apologized for his first-period attack on Brooks Orpik in the first period that sent the Penguins defenseman to the hospital.
"Listen, I feel awful. It wasn't my intention for that outcome," Thornton said. "I know Brooksie. I've gotten to know him over the last several years here. I skated with him in the summer, over the lockout."
Thornton said he sent Orpik multiple text messages to check on his condition after Thornton was ejected from the game for the hit.
"I've texted him a couple of times," Thornton said. "I feel awful. It was definitely not what I wanted to see or anybody wanted to see.
"Obviously, I made a mistake. I'm aware of it. I've been told I'll be having a hearing. It's hard for me to say much more other than it was not my intention. I felt sick the whole game."
Thornton was asked if he felt he was just protecting his teammates after Orpik took out Loui Eriksson and James Neal kneed Brad Marchand in the head earlier in the first period.
"That's always my job, I guess, to defend my teammates but I've prided myself for a long time to stay within in the lines. It's hard for me to talk about it right now. I can't say I'm sorry enough. I'm sure I'll be criticized for saying it but it's true. I hope he's doing all right. I heard he's conscious and talking. I'm happy to hear that."
Will it change how he plays in the future?
"I really don't know how to answer that to tell you the truth. I haven't had enough time to think about it.
|Claude Julien on Torey Krug in OT: 'He gets around'
|11.26.13 at 11:10 am ET
There is a reason the Bruins were so high on Torey Krug going into the playoffs last spring.
They knew the 22-year-old had great puck-carrying ability, great speed and a laser of a shot. All three of those qualities were on display throughout the team's run to the Stanley Cup finals. Turns out, Claude Julien is trying to unleash them more this season and overtime 4-on-4 play is perfectly suited to Krug's skill set.
"Yeah, he gets around, he seems to find those gaps and everything else, those holes, and moves around really well," Julien said after Krug unloaded a cannon past Marc-Andre Fleury Monday night just 34 seconds into overtime for the 4-3 game-winner. "So there's no doubt it's an area for him such as other players in the league; you look at guys like [Kris] Letang and other defensemen like that that love that kind of space because they move around so well. Tonight he was in the right place ' Marchy [Brad Marchand] made a great pass there ' but he picked that top corner; he knew where he was going with that shot."
Krug knows in 4-on-4 hockey during overtime, he's going to have more freedom, more space to maneuver.
"I love it," Krug beamed. "A lot more room on the ice to skate and play with the puck, it's more of a possession game, you're not just chipping pucks up the wall and if you watch me play you understand I like to play with the puck so it's a lot more fun for me for sure."
He didn't take long to take advantage Monday.
"It starts with the faceoff," Krug said. "We had good puck pursuit, I don't remember much of it but Bergy [Patrice Bergeron] made an unbelievable play to me on the far side. Their forwards were cheating a little bit, and I just missed the shot wide on that one and then we recovered the puck and it was just calm composure with the puck, especially up high on the blueline ' those are dangerous areas. Our guys were keeping track of the puck and we had really good plays.
"The key is to make sure you hit the net, because if you don't, it's ramming out the other way and they're going to get a break on that. There were a few times when I missed the net; right before I scored there was a shot that, Bergy [Patrice Bergeron] made an unbelievable pass to the middle and I got down there and I missed the net and I rode up the boards so, your focus is just getting in on that."
|Reilly Smith is just trying to 'keep the ball rolling'
|11.23.13 at 8:22 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien looks on the ice and sees the skill of Reilly Smith. Then he has to remind himself and others that he is just 22 years of age.
On Saturday, he saw a sure-fire sign that Smith is fully capable of handling the load at the NHL level. With 6:29 left in the second period of a 1-1 game, Smith broke in on Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward and had the puck on his backhand. Earlier in the season, Smith's eyes might have gotten too big and he might have felt the pressure to rush the shot. But not Saturday. He waited.
Smith took a pass from Carl Soderberg in the low slot between the circles, skated across the crease and flipped the puck just hard enough that Ward couldn't control it, providing the go-ahead goal, already the fourth of the season with his new team.
"Kells [Chris Kelly] was tied up in front so he kind of set up a good pick, I didn't want to force it right through and I thought I might have a little more net going to my backhand," Smith explained. "Cam [Ward] still almost had it so I was kind of lucky that it snuck through."
Does Saturday's patience on the goal show he's getting more comfortable?
"Absolutely, just little things like that where probably a few weeks or a month ago I probably wouldn't have done that, I probably would have tried to get it on net right away," Smith said. "With every day, you build confidence.
"Every day gets a little bit easier. When you stay with the same linemates, for a few weeks or a month, everyday gets easier, chemistry builds every day so just take it day by day but I think everything is going pretty well right now, just try to keep the ball rolling."
With Kelly and Carl Soderberg on the third line, the young winger acquired along with Loui Eriksson from Dallas for Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley is looking more and more ready to fit in on a regular basis.
"They just feel better more and more about playing together," Julien said. "They're reading off of each other extremely well; I said that earlier in an interview about how they're just reading off each other, they're anticipating, so they're always on top of the puck. We still have some lines right now that are kind of waiting to see what the puck carrier is going to do with it and you hope that with time we can get that same level as that third line is right now of anticipating well. They know exactly where they want to go and where they're going to put the puck so they're on top of it all the time and the last few games they've had a lot of chances and a lot of offensive zone time.
"Again, we're talking about a young player here. I keep saying it all the time, we always seem to overlook his age and he's a young player. And the way I think he's handled himself in pressure situations and handling the puck a little bit better and holding onto it. And at the same time, I thought tonight he shot the puck a little bit more; he had a little bit better of a nose for the net and before, looking to make plays versus shooting the puck. So he's really turned a corner and is really coming along well for a young player."
It's not just Julien either. Smith is winning over veteran teammates at the same time.
"I didn't know much about him before he got traded," David Krejci said. "I know he's a great player, he's still young, but he's playing like a ten year vet [veteran]. It's good to see him doing well; hopefully he can keep it up."
|Tyler Seguin says 'in the end, you want to play where you're wanted'
|11.05.13 at 11:28 pm ET
Tyler Seguin made it clear after Tuesday night's 3-2 shootout win over his former Bruins team that he is very happy in Dallas and doesn't regret leaving Boston.
"If I got a contract or trade or asked, I don't think I'd come back," Seguin said. "I think, in the end, you want to play where you're wanted. I have great relationships with our coach and our GM here and I know how much they want me. I know how much they want me and it feels great to play here. That's all I have to say on that."
Seguin knew going up against the likes of Brad Marchand, Johnny Boychuk and Tuukka Rask would be a strange feeling all night.
"Pretty intense. I went into the game with the mentality, I know they're not going to try and talk to me so I'm not going to. I've been in that dressing room when Joe Thornton has come to town or Phil Kessel, it's a hockey game out there, not friends," Seguin said. "I had a few guys, Johnny being his funny self, grabbing me, and Tuukka getting in my way one time when there was a mini-line [scrum] when nobody dropped their gloves. Besides that, it was just a hockey game."
It was a weird feeling and a tense night on the ice. He scored the tying goal in the shootout and watched as another former Bruins teammate, Rich Peverley scored to give the Stars a 3-2 shootout win. Seguin finished with two shots and was a plus-1.
"Glad it's over," Seguin said. "I didn't know what to expect. It was just weird. It was weird being out there, especially first period. It felt more comfortable as things went on but for our team, that's a huge win for us."
Seguin lost 13-of-14 face-offs Sunday in Ottawa and was called out by his coach Lindy Ruff, despite a 4-3 Stars win.
"I kind of got called out by my coach a little bit there last game in Ottawa," Seguin said. "I wanted to be better on face-offs, be a better centerman out there. I thought I played pretty solid. Obviously, nothing offensively but our line was plus tonight against a pretty good hockey team and great face-off men and we'll take it from there."
The Bruins did pay tribute to Seguin, showing two pictures of him holding up the 2011 Stanley Cup after the Game 7 win in Vancouver.
"It was nice," Seguin said. "Definitely a very classy organization."
|Claude Julien asks media to 'give it a break' on Tyler Seguin
|11.05.13 at 11:01 pm ET
Claude Julien was in a foul mood to begin with. His team had just blown a 2-1 lead late in the third period and then blown the extra point by losing in a shootout when not only Tyler Seguin but Rich Peverley both scored against their former Boston teammates to give Dallas a 3-2 win.
But then the Bruins coach was asked if losing to Seguin was extra painful.
"I don't care about that. Give it a break," Julien responded sharply. "I'm mad because we lost. Next."
Julien did explain what he felt was the problem with his team in the last two games, losses to the Islanders and Stars.
"When you play that way, you find ways to lose hockey games and that's what we're doing right now, we're finding ways to lose," Julien said. "Bad change on the tying goal, real bad change. So, it's not just the young guys, it's good players, it's everybody right now. We're not playing well right now. We're finding ways to lose versus finding ways to win."
|Claude Julien calls out his team: 'Too many mediocre players'
|10.27.13 at 12:32 pm ET
The reaction of head coach Claude Julien was fairly predictable after his team blew a 3-1 lead to the Devils and lost, 4-3, Saturday night at TD Garden.
"Even when we had the 3-1 lead in the second there I thought we missed a couple of real good opportunities," Julien began. "But I don't really think that's where the game was played. Had a good start compared to the other night; much better in the first. But we kind of faltered after that. I thought the second period we allowed them to get back in the game and they were a better team as well. They won battles and especially in our own end they had us bottled in there and were out-muscling us and coming up with pucks and they got themselves within a goal and that kind of gave them life for the third."
The Bruins were not good on the penalty kill Saturday, an area of excellence late in the regular season and playoffs last spring. They allowed four power play goals, though one of them was a very rare 6-on-3 opportunity for the Devils, when Torey Krug was called for a double-minor high sticking and Patrice Bergeron was tagged with a delay of game. The Devils pulled Martin Brodeur and they finally got the 3-3 equalizer with under two minutes left.
"But our penalty kill obviously faltered and wasn't good enough; when you allow four power play goals in a game that's not a good sign for a win. So that certainly didn't help. But again, I thought we had too many mediocre players tonight and those things kind of create those situations."
As for the penalties themselves, Julien knows his team needs to be more aware, especially when clearing the puck out of their own end.
"It is a costly penalty," Julien said of the delay of game calls on Bergeron and earlier on Zdeno Chara. "Both pucks over the glass ended up being a goal against and those are tough penalties to take, but rules are rules. At the same time, the high stick, it is a high stick. You have to be in control of your stick, so it was deemed a four minute, which I thought was the right call. So they scored on their opportunities that they had and unfortunately, like I said, our penalty kill wasn't up to the task.
"To me, we had one line going and we needed more. Like I said too many mediocre guys whether it's hitting a wall, whatever the case may be it just wasn't good enough. We had the day off yesterday to give those guys a rest but three games in four nights isn't always an easy thing to go through and you wish you could have pulled this one through and had a real good week but unfortunately that wasn't the case. We have to regroup, and another back-to-back and another three in four coming up there next week so hopefully we learn from that."
The Bruins have another three-in-four nights scenario this week when they play in Pittsburgh Wednesday night before playing Anaheim on Thursday and on the road against the Islanders next Saturday.
|Jarome Iginla on his slow start to season: 'I've been here many times'
|10.15.13 at 1:57 pm ET
The numbers are not pretty for 36-year-old Jarome Iginla to start the Boston portion of his career.
No goals, one assist in five games on 19 shots.
The effort is there, like the rest of the team. But like the rest of the Bruins, the finishing touch has yet to be put on his work. After failing to get the right winger at the trade deadline last spring, the Bruins signed him to a one-year, $6 million deal in the summer with the hopes of successfully replacing Nathan Horton and giving another right wing – 22-year-old Jordan Caron – more time to mature.
Last season, he had one goal in his first 16 games before finishing with 14 between Calgary and Pittsburgh. In 2011-12, he opened with two goals in his first 10 games and four in his first 15. The year before? Two goals in his first 17 games, before breaking out with a hat trick in Game No. 18.
"Unfortunately, I've been here many times," Iginla said Monday. "It's all part of the game and you just try to work hard and keep going and keep getting the chances and always keep saying that the next one is going to go in."
Iginla is getting his chances with David Krejci and Milan Lucic and the general consensus is that he looks more in tune with with his linemates in his first five games than fellow newcomer Loui Eriksson on the second line with Patrice Bergeron with Brad Marchand line.
"Krech and Looch have been playing great and working hard and I'm trying to work hard with them and like I've said I've had really good chances for a number of games," Iginla said. "Whenever you win you never feel as bad, you just shrug it off and say next time. But whenever you lose by a goal it always feels a lot worse when you know that one of those could have made a difference. But keep going and like I said I've been here before and you just keep working through it and stay positive and keep trying to get open and like I say, keep believing the next one goes in."
In an attempt to get Iginla some momentum, Claude Julien placed Iginla on Boston's 5-on-3 power play unit. Good chances, a couple of missed shots but still no dice.
"I think I had a few of them but two were good ones, one I just missed probably by a couple inches the top right corner, one I missed by a mile and that was just trying to hard and too excited and just missed it," Iginla said. "But I thought ' when you're feeling it those go in and unfortunately they didn't. It was an important time of the game, it could have been a big difference. And you get out there in those situations and you definitely want to help the team and feel responsibility, all of us out there. So when you don't score when you have a two minute one it stings but at the same time I think the guys did a great job and just keep going almost to that last second and really we almost found a way to get it to over time there.

⬅ Return to Law & Order Tackles Accountability for Torture. Will We Have It in Real Life?

I agree that no one is above the Law. So why can the president and the DOE break federal law by implementing curriculum into the public school system? I thought we just established that NO ONE is above the law.

Every post on this blog is worth repeating to just about anyone who is concerned with these issues (and a big thanks to Mr. Romero for this latest one). I'm not sure where else to send/mention this, but there is a program at present which presents an opportunity for free search engine optimization to non-profit organizations for a period of 3 months. Here is the URL: http://www.dragonsearchmarketing.com/ppc-management-grant.html.
People who search for answers concerning these particular topics (especially regarding torture) deserve to reach quality information like that above first and foremost.
Keep it up and take care.

I think this tv show should do what it intends to do .I do not think torture is bad when it comes down to me or them . I think all people in this world have a right to do what ever they want when ever they want to do it when it comes to survival or their FUTURE .
Craig Chapman
Sep 29th, 2009 at 4:48pm
If anyone finds someone who knows about plans to kill me ormy family, you have my permission to beat the crap out of him to save these lives, let alone pour some water on a towel placed on my head.
By the say, the show claimed torture has gone on at Gitmo. There has never been any evidence of this whatsoever, but why should that influence people's political agendas.
Sean Bauer
Oct 2nd, 2009 at 1:50pm
Your replies (most) are woefully illogical.
To Craig in particular, it is the American System of freedom that has put your family in a safe place, and that didn't start last week or last year, but over 200 hundred years ago.
Any quick review of history demonstrates that statistically speaking, the real threat to any human's safety is not 1 or 2 humans trying to kill your family, but a government or large group and it's leaders. They have killed millions over and over in short periods of time.
Unfortunately, torturing one or two of the group will most certainly not stop the violence.
Now at this moment you say torturing is ok, but only because at the moment it's not "your" group being tortured. Why? Because you were born in a country that was developed with better values than that.
The only thing that can hold off the nearly inevitable conclusion of every government in history (that is must keep a tight grip on it's people through fear and control), is the determined adherence of the population to a system that protects the individual rights over the government, even (especially) when it's not convenient to do so.
This system HAS protected your family presumably. I'm sure you can think of many countries, if you have any knowledge about the rest of the world, that if your family was born in they would have a lot to fear, and primarily by the people in power in that country and the government.
Oh you know you're safe now, because the American government will not become that dictator type government overnight. But what about your son? or his son? What happens when the government hears something he said out of line, pulls him out of high school, where he sits in jail and is tortured to death without ever speaking to an attorney.
Don't think it can happen here? Don't bet it can't. Do some research on Germany before The Nazi Conquest. Do some research on any governments. It can and most certainly does and has happened before.
By the way, and not that it's relevant, it has been proven time and again that torture DOES NOT get the desired result. Ie. if the group wanted to kill your family and one of their members got caught, they would still kill your family they would just do it at a different time and place, because they would immediately assume the person caught gave up any details he had.
So finally I'll leave you with this. If someone has plans to kill me and my family, please bring in the best investigators you can to figure out and stop it. But if they think the only option they have is to torture, I don't want them to proceed. They can stop and look for another way. If we die we die, but I don't want to die bringing down the system so many people gave their lives to create and protect. We, the United States of America, should be above that.
Nov 23rd, 2009 at 8:14pm
IN response to Craig's Letter.
I agree 100%
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. My body is but a temporary home - it is our spirit that matters -
I will fight for my children, my wife and myself, but I will thank no one for committing atrocities on a handcuffed, chained, imprisoned or helpless individual in the name of protecting our freedom.
The torturers have stained the American Honor; they have trampled upon the ideals and beliefs many of us hold dear. They should be punished to the fullest measure our laws will allow. Those most responsible should be punished most - not the scapegoats at low level responsbility.
Jim Gould
Nov 23rd, 2009 at 8:23pm
I totally GOOFED!!!
Craig, I am sorry, but it is Sean Bauer's letter, I agree with 100%.
The "ticking time bomb" theory is a marketing ploy to make people think - gee maybe the torture is OK...
No it is not - only twisted sadistic people use torture - they are not patriots
they are cowards of the highest order - and don't ever, ever, ever pretend you are protecting this American in any way shape or form with acts of torture.
Like Sean said - America - was not built overnight - and it was not built by men like these torturers

|Reviews for Path of Thorns
| Azhwi chapter 4 . 7/24/2010
Very interesting story!
I love that Misao is running around causing hell, but the little world of the garden and the mansion is quite something.
I really do like the way you are story telling with this. Nothing is quite TOLD, and all the information is quite carefully revealed through scenes and Kaoru just simply working to discover things.
Absolutely love the book wiggle in the library.
It gets a little confusing with the scene changes and a few typos have the nasty luck of causing confusion.
The She and Kaoru references earlier were confusing because at first I always assumed that references to Tomoe was actually about Kaoru. It took a literal reread of a certain sentence to actually realize there were two girls.
And say... earth magic? Of just a high sensitive garden?
I'm very curious as to where this story is going. I do hope you'll have time to come back to this.
Thank you for this story!
| Isis 01 chapter 4 . 7/4/2010
I have to admit the first few chapters had me more than a little bit confused, but now it's starting to grow on me. That last scene with Kenshin and Kaoru is my favorite by far. I really liked Kaoru's reaction to what he did for her; it felt natural. Hope you'll update soon!
| chibi heishi chapter 4 . 3/17/2010
...Whoah. You've GOT to finish this one. Please? This is really, really good. Now I'm worried about Kaoru. And Kenshin, too, but mostly Kaoru.
| chibi heishi chapter 1 . 3/17/2010
...awesome so far. But if I were Kaoru, I would have run like h#! ASAP and never looked back. (of course, the story wouldn't be any fun if she did, so...)
| Thea Sol chapter 4 . 3/3/2010

Albany International Airport is receiving federal funding for an upgrade.
U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and Congressman Paul Tonko tuesday announced that Albany International Airport will receive nearly $4 Million dollars in funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation for vital airport upgrades.
A national airline is gearing up to add Albany International to the list of airports it serves. Another feather in Senator Chuck Schumer's cap: about a month ago, the Democrat was at Albany Airport promoting the idea of convincing JetBlue to add Albany International to the list of airports it serves. On Monday, Schumer was back at the airfield waving a letter he received from the carrier. "This letter says - JetBlue is starting service at last here in Albany, in 2015!"
Albany International Airport received over 10 inches of snow during that last 10 hours.
The Airport's Snow Team is working around the clock to keep Runway-1 open.
At 5:00 a.m., Runway-1 was closed for snow removal.
All flights scheduled to depart between 5:15 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. have been delayed and 10 have been cancelled.
Domestic fares at Albany are up 27 percent since 2008, and the number of passengers has fallen; many airlines have merged since the days Senator Schumer helped bring Southwest to the region. He believes now is the time to bring a new airline into the Albany mix. "We're hoping that if Jet Blue were to come to Albany, they could add service to already popular routes. Routes like Washington, Orlando, South Florida or Tampa, and in doing so, connecting residents to more travel destinations."

SESSION 235 The Nia Technique by Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas I. The Nia Technique - A Movement Practice and Lifestyle Program What Nia Stands For Nia is a movement practice dedicated to both fitness and personal growth. Neuromuscular Integrative Action is a descriptive term used to describe Nia. In Swahili, Nia means, "with purpose," and in Hebrew it means, "tiny movement". As a practice and lifestyle, Nia offers a path to integrate the body, mind, emotional self, and spirit. Grounded in loving consciousness, Nia is a passionate and stimulating way to gain health, well- being, and personal growth. It is a way to discover one's own deeper meaning, value, and depth in living life. About The Program Both the styles of Classic and Athletic Nia use an interactive, expressive system designed to enhance body awareness, free emotions, expand mental insight, awaken higher consciousness, and integrate the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. As a movement practice, Nia leads to developing a loving, healthy lifestyle, and provides both traditional and non-traditional results such as; increased awareness and sensitivity, cardiovascular conditioning, energy rejuvenation, joint, muscle, and spinal flexibility, celebration of life, community interactive recreation that is fun and playful, internal strength, creative visualizations, meditation, emotional and physical balance, integration, and relaxation. Safe enough to be performed in bare feet, Nia works with all kinds of energy dynamics by incorporating various speeds, movements, and ranges of motion into an adaptable method that is easily modified to fit all ages and individual needs. Nia is powerful and transformative because it reaches people in their hearts and creates a deep, personal desire to explore one's own potential. Nia motivates you to get fit and healthy, and to enjoy the divine experience of living a sacred life in a body. What is unique to Nia is the way it creatively integrates East/West movements, concepts, and philosophies from the worlds of the healing arts (love), the martial arts (mindfulness), dance (technique), and body integration therapies (craft). Various psychological approaches are also integrated to offer students and patients tools to support a self-guided, personal growth process, while the blue-print for practicing Nia is process oriented, practical, cognitive, and experiential. User-friendly, Nia offers a flexible structure that students can personally adapt with the aid of an intimate teaching approach of sharing, guiding, and offering information and suggestions in an interactive, empowering way. People of all fitness and well ness levels, and ages participate in Nia throughout the world. Addressing "specificity," Nia has been adapted to fit a wide range of therapeutic, wellness, personal-growth, and educational models such as; Prisons, Drug/Alcohol and Cardiac Rehabilitation, Autism, High School Teens, and Sexual Abuse Support Groups. The existing markets for Nia teachers is vast, including: Mind Body Medicine Centers, Traditional Fitness and Health Clubs, Yoga Centers, Healing and Wellness Centers, Seniors, Retreat Programs, Summer Camps, Personal Growth and Transformation Seminars, HMO Programs, Corporate Wellness, Sport Vacations, Teen and Inner City Youth Groups, University PE and Theater Departments, Dance and Martial Arts Schools, Spas, Hospitals, Prisons, Drug/Alcohol and Cardiac Rehabilitation, and Spiritual Journey Retreats that combine personal growth and vacations. Developed by Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas, Nia has been featured in a multitude of publications including: The New York Times, Time, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Self, Yoga Journal, American Health, IDEA Today, New Realities, McCall's, Vogue and more. This highly acclaimed work has been presented to groups and organizations from both the fitness and wellness communities such as: URSA, IDEA, New York Mind*Body Disciplines Nia Fitness Association, The Mind Body Conference, The International Spa Association, Rancho La Puerta and The Golden Door Spas, Association for Worksite Health and Promotion, MACMA, Evergreen Everwell, International Tap Festival Association, L.A. Dance Clinic, and the National Wellness Conference. II. The Tools A. The Four Realms 1. The Body - Sensation Matter, breath, feet, hands, pelvis, chest, head, the senses, joints, and limbs. The physical process of Nia is personal, organic, conscious, and experiential. View the body as an intelligence, an entity that offers unending potential for ongoing learning through the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual realms. Use your body to access and perceive information, for feeling and connecting to sensation from the internal and external worlds. Use the senses of the body as instruments to help you become more available to yourself, to your actions, and to others. 2. The Mind - Thoughts and Imagination Focused and intentional, conscious and mindful. Think of mind as an energy that is circular, fluid, linear, and multi-dimensionally creative. Mind energy directs the body, thoughts, emotions, and creations. Use mind energy to focus, gain results, relax, direct, create, alter, and build energy. Connect to the left brain (the logical mind), to organize, code, and create structure. Use the right brain, your creative side, to develop your imagination. To strengthen your mind, activate the witness, play with images, symbols, directions, sequencing, rhythm, and visualizations. The witness is the part of you that is not attached. It is the great eye that observes to gather information without judgment. The witness is the one that allows you to be in the fluid sea of experience without holding onto thought. It is the most illuminated part of mind energy. Use the witness to notice and observe the patterns of your movement, detail, and to free your mind. 3. The Emotions - Feelings All feelings, including love, anger, fear, compassion, joy. Emotions are the fuel of expression. They are the language of the heart, gut, open hand, and fist. They are at the very center of all outward expression and have the power to relax, stimulate, excite, and feed both the giver and the receiver. Use all kinds of emotions to enhance the physical expression of your movement and to release tension. 4. The Spirit - Personal Expression, Spiritual Practices, and Beliefs This unique descriptive of energy is not religious, but merely a word used to describe the essence of you and all that is in the universe. Connect to your own spirit and personality, the excitement, passion, and exhilaration of feeling you. Spirit is tangible, it has a feeling all of its own, just as mind energy has a feeling all of its own. Spirit is powerfully electric, alive, and real. By consciously connecting to your spirit, you discover greater abundance of energy and develop a deep satisfying feeling that goes beyond what can been seen and felt. You discover meaning and purpose behind what you do. B. Sound 1. Music and Vocalization Music is the underlying energy source used to stimulate your mind and body. It is used to create organic choreography. To work with music, activate that part of you that listens. Connect to the sounds, the vibration and resonance you hear and can feel. Active listening is a way to allow the vibration of sound to move the body, to stimulate the mind, and to passionately touch the heart and soul. Use active listening to work with subtle sounds, instruments, the rise and fall, waves and cycles within music that help to support and create movement. Once you are connected to the sounds, actively speak using your body gestures and voice. Develop the ability to be touched and expressively respond to something outside of you, the music. IDEA Handbook Session 235 page 2 of 5 Mind*Body Disciplines Nia 2. Sound Energy Nia uses all kinds and styles of music: popular, ethnic, sacred, world beat, as well as rhythm, resonance, and harmonies to support healing physiological responses. 3. Balance: The Polarity of Masculine and Feminine Vibrations For masculine response, choose music that stimulates the body to intuitively react, to be powerful, aggressive and sharp, alert and ready for action. Music with a strong sense of beat and clarity will seduce the body to act with greater precision. This kind of sound stimulates a strong exhale, supports grounding, focus, intent, and centering. Some examples are funk, hard rock, techno, and drumming. To invoke a feminine response, select music with strong and clear melody lines, music with a feeling of space to invoke relaxation and promote ease, breathing, and graceful movement. This kind of sound invokes the inhale, softening and surrendering into movement and into expansion. Some examples are classical, ballads, love songs, soft rock, blues, and Celtic. C. The Movement 1. Integration Blend East/West movement forms, practices, and concepts; specifically the martial arts, dance, exercise, and body integration therapies. Draw from many disciplines to offer choices, variety, and unique stimulation to the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. 2. FreeDance Freedance is a process used to tap into your own authentic movement, your way of moving. It also is a way to tap into the creative source where sound, emotions, freedom, movement, and expression become one. Freedance allows sound and movement to merge, creating in a fluid, expansive environment that uses the mind to witness. D. The Choreography 1. The Base, Grounding The feet, legs: steps, stances, kicks, and locomotion used in both athletic and classic styles of Nia. Stances are movements where both feet or one foot stays in contact with the floor, freezing in place for a period of time. As you go into and come out of stances you gain precision, control, and balance; all components for developing and maintaining power and strength. Stances provide the opportunity to powerfully express postural strength, balance, and stability. Steps are rhythmic combinations of foot work where one foot is always leaving the ground. 2. Energy Flow A balanced flow of energy combines vertical and horizontal alignment. Shift body weight versus dropping it, and use a smile line to move, ground, stay centered, and cultivate energy. 3. Moving Through Space Three planes and levels, low, middle, and high plane movement; working with speeds, contracting and expanding joints and muscles to move energy. 4. Feeling and Expressing Discover your own body language and ways of moving. Make choices that take you into places of love and joy, comfort and ease. The body is a feeling organism that responds to love and joy. Movement finds its source at the center of the emotional, feeling being. The art of any expressive movement transcends technique and science, and is an expression of your very own personality. Moment to moment, expressive IDEA Handbook Session 235 page 3 of 5 Mind*Body Disciplines Nia movement is an opening, an unveiling, a manifestation of you. Uninhibited movement offers you the opportunity to express who you are as you create. 5. The Core of The Body: Head, Chest, and Pelvis Generating movements from the center, the tan tien, located two inches below your navel between the front and the back of your body. Activating the abdominal muscles by using the entire trunk, your breath, the chest, and head. When your pelvis is free, the spine moves and increases ease and energy to improve performance. 6. Creative Arm and Hand Expressions What stimulates movement of the arms is connecting to the emotional feelings and responding with gesture. This is the safest and most effective way to build upper body strength and definition. 7. Form and Freedom; the Balance Between Masculine and Feminine Freedance and structured movement address the duality of masculine and feminine movement in choreography and create an energetically balanced workout. Some benefits are improved sensory awareness, a balanced and healthy nervous system, a powerful breathing and circulation system, a balanced and integrated emotional body, a logical, imaginative, and resilient mind, a graceful gait, integrated posture, and a harmonized body, emotional self, mind, and spirit. III. The Practice 1. The Way of Nia Personalized, masculine and feminine, soft and hard, linear and circular, interactive, whole, expressive, energetic and meditative, dynamic, organic, natural, practical, loving and compassionate; nurturing, athletic, classic, supportive, adaptable, fun, relaxing, conscious, grounded, sensitive, sensory, visual, symbolic, sacred, intentional, purposeful, focused, creative, and explosively wild. 2. Guidance Share what you feel. Honestly communicate by being in the moment. Teaching fitness is a relationship between you and yourself, and between the student and the teacher where both the feeling and thinking body, the logical and imaginative mind, and expressive being become integrated. It is a relationship that becomes an art of communicating to help individuals develop their potential. It addresses the needs of all levels of fitness, provides three choices and intensity levels, as well as a variety of movement choices to support personalization. Infuse relaxation into every move to establish a quality of ease within every action. Relaxation establishes grounding and supports moving from center, regardless of the speed or intensity level. Use imagery, visualization, and sensory language to stimulate systemic movement. Offer loving guidance to help people create their own resilient and flexible boundaries. Love is the foundation for growth that replaces punishment with pleasure. Use words and phrases that bring the student into their body, that connect them to their own experience. Guide rather than command, becoming sensitive to the words and phrases you choose. Offer students time to reframe and personalize movements. Guide students to feel and explore, putting them in charge of making their own choices and decisions. Help them blend conscious thought (mindfulness) with the unending possibilities and actions of the body. Elicit sensory awareness by incorporating images, words, and phrases into your vocabulary. IV.

DIP switch
)A series of tiny switches built into circuit boards. The housing for the switches, which has the same shape as a chip, is the DIP.
DIP switches enable you to configure a circuit board for a particular type of computer or application. The installation instructions should tell you how to set the switches. DIP switches are always toggle switches, which means they have two possible positions -- on or off. (Instead of on and off, you may see the numbers 1 and 0.)
One of the historic advantages of the Macintosh over the PC was that it allowed you to configure circuit boards by entering software commands instead of setting DIP switches. However, the new Plug & Play standard developed by Microsoft makes DIP switches obsolete for PC expansion cards too.

Penn State recruiting fares well despite sanctions
Updated: February 6, 2013, 6:52 PM ETAssociated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State's first recruiting class since the NCAA hammered the program with sanctions includes a potential quarterback of the future and a promising pass-rushing defensive end.
So much for the gloom-and-doom scenarios about getting shunned on the recruiting trail following the steep scholarship cuts as part of the penalties for the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Amy Hess-Fischl, MS, RD, LDN, BC-ADM, CDE (University of Chicago Medical Center)
Description: This book covers all aspects of the basic nutrients and their purposes. Published just two years after the previous edition, this update was necessary due to the ongoing research in nutrition. This edition also includes far more figures and tables than its predecessor.
Purpose: The book assumes that readers have completed courses in introductory nutrition, biochemistry, and anatomy and physiology. It is meant for nutrition/dietetics majors or those beginning master of science degrees.
Audience: The audience is higher level students with a solid background in nutrition. Both authors are PhDs and registered dietitians.
Features: Each chapter starts with a set of objectives as well as a list of bullet points highlighting the material covered in the previous chapter ("Here's Where You Have Been" and "Here's Where You Are Going"). The majority of the chapters include special features sections. For example, the chapter on nutrition, exercise, and athletic performance includes a thorough overview of the current research on caffeine and athletic performance. This section has been slightly updated from the second edition. Two new chapters cover fiber (previously part of the carbohydrates chapter) and nutraceuticals and functional foods. All the chapters include a "Before You Go On" section that presents questions that readers can use to assess if they have absorbed the key concepts of that chapter. The book also includes a companion website, which features animated flashcards, matching exercises, and nutrition science animations.
Assessment: This continues to be a solid textbook for nutrition majors and master of science students. It is also a good reference for practicing dietitians to use as a refresher on the basics of nutrition.

As a taxpayer in IL I'm frankly insulted by the attitude of AK that they deserve that money. My state is equal to CA in getting less than we pay into the Fed in tax money, so honestly my taxes are subsidizing your state directly. Why should I pay for that? Why should CA be almost half owned by the Fed also and have to pay for your state?

Day 1 - Retirement
... After lunch, Sheila and I headed west to Iowa to donate the Prius and more importantly see our granddaughter Isabelle. On the way to Iowa, we decided to stop by our Kentucky lot to make sure it was still there!! We ended up stopping just outside of Nashville. Tomorrow, we will stop at the lot and then head to Iowa City.
Attached is a picture of me in my Hawaiian garb and the Prius.
Thanks everyone for a great day. . ...
Waiting for our flight
Johnnie and I arrived at the airport and said our goodbyes to family. We made it through check in and security in record time and have lots of time to spare. The terminal is quiet so it wouldn't take much for me to take a nap. I fear that people watching will keep me from sleep though. Right now our flight is on time and it will be late when we arrive in LA for our connector to Brisbane. I can't wait to see ...

... like Bill hiking up the other way. Turns out it was Bill! He decided to join us and caught up by hiking the trail in the opposite direction. When we finished out the loop and got back on the Demonstration Trail, we made a stop for lunch and snacks, then finished up the loop back at the parking area. After our hike, about half of us were a little thirsty so we headed to Deep River Brewing Company in Clayton for some after-hike ...

Search for perch
DEER RIVER -- If you take Jerry Zahl's words at face value, you might believe that retirement is work.
"I don't get any days off," Zahl, 67, of Grand Rapids said recently as he stood over a hole through Lake Winnie's 30 inches of ice, waiting for a hungry perch to take his bait. "All I do is check out the lake. We were up four days last week, one day so far this week."

[0001] Not applicable.
[0002] Not applicable.
[0003] This invention relates to handles, and in particular to handles for mops, brooms and other items which are formed of multiple interconnectable sections.
[0004] Mops, brooms, paint roller handles, dusters, and similar devices, often have long handles so that a person can stand upright while reaching the floor with the device, and/or such that a person will not need a ladder to apply the device on a ceiling or high along a wall. The length of the handle typically requires such products to be shipped in specially sized packages, and stored and displayed for sale in a manner that takes up a relatively large amount of space.
[0005] Also, when a consumer purchases such a highly elongated device, the device may not fit easily into a standard grocery cart, and may be difficult to fit into a trunk of certain compact cars. Consumers may therefore need to hand carry the device to the store checkout, and then to a vehicle. Consumers may then need to transport the device in the passenger compartment of the car, with the result that needed passenger space is taken up.
[0006] Collapsible handles have been devised to minimize or avoid these problems. For example, telescoping handles, with multiple concentric cylindrical sections, have been developed (particularly for use when painting, and often for use in devices such as golf ball retrievers). Alternatively, some handle designs have folded sections which are hinged together. See e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,943,727.
[0007] Such constructions typically have rather unstable joints that can loosen (and possibly separate), particularly when rotational force is applied to the handle. These constructions also often tend to flex more at the joints when stressed such that the handle feels segmented.
[0008] Attempts have been made to overcome this problem. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,911,573 discloses the use of a bayonet connection for joining sections of a handle. Each section has male and female ends that mate with the ends of adjacent sections. The male ends have an L-shaped groove and a spring element spaced apart along the circumference of the male end.
[0009] The female end defines a cylindrical opening with a transverse protrusion that rides in the L-shaped groove as the male is inserted and twisted into the opening. The protrusion is held tightly in the groove by virtue of the groove having a decreasing depth. The female end also has a hole in which the spring element of the male end snaps to lock the adjacent sections together. Although the disclosed structure provides a rigid connection, it is rather complex to manufacture since it requires the spring element.
[0010] Accordingly, there exists a need in the art for an improved multi-component handle, particularly one that can be shipped, stored, and sold in multiple segments, and then easily and essentially permanently assembled by a consumer.
[0011] The invention provides a multi-segment handle in which the parts can be quickly snapped together to be essentially rigid along its length as if it was a monolithic structure. In one aspect the invention provides a handle assembly having at least two elongated sections, one elongated section having a female end defining an internal cavity and the other elongated section having a male end sized to fit within the cavity.
[0012] One of the ends has a groove extending axially from a terminal edge to a first recess. The other of the ends has a first radial projection sized to fit within the groove. Also, one of the ends has a second recess. There is also a second radial projection on the other of the ends.
[0013] When the male end has been telescoped into the female end by relative axial movement there between, the female end male ends can be locked together by causing a relative rotation there between. This will cause the first radial projection to extend into the first recess and the second radial projection to extend into the second recess. Importantly, the first and second recesses will be axially spaced from each other when the male and female ends have been locked together
[0014] In preferred forms the first and second radial projections are on the male end, the first and second recesses are along the cavity of the female end, and the groove is along the cavity of the female end and circumferentially spaced from both of the recesses. Also, the first and second radial projections are essentially circumferentially aligned.
[0015] To insure that the rotational movement can be easily achieved without compromising locking strength, at least one of the first and second radial projections is ramped. Also, the female end includes an intermediate region extending into the cavity between the groove and the second recess radially inward more than the groove. Further, the intermediate region ramps radially outward towards the groove.
[0016] In still other preferred forms, the first recess is a through opening and the second recess is not a through opening. For example, the first recess can be a D-shaped through opening with the first radial projection being D-shaped. In such a case, the first radial projection can be ramped in a circumferential direction extending from the groove to the first recess.
[0017] The device is most useful as providing a handle to be used with a cleaning accessory linked to one of the elongated sections.
[0018] In another form the invention provides a handle assembly having an elongated grip section with an outer surface suitable to act as a handle and a lower connector end. There is also at least one elongated pole section having an upper connector end and a lower connector end, and an elongated accessory attachment section having an upper connector and a lower yoke structure having multiple arms for receiving an accessory. At least one upper connector and one lower connector end are configured such that they can be snap locked together by telescoping them together followed by relative rotational movement there between to cause a pair of axially spaced tabs to engage a pair of axially spaced recesses.
[0019] It will be appreciated that both projections could be on the male member (with both recesses on the female member), or that both projections could be on the female member with both recesses being on the male member, or that each of the members could have one recess and one projection. Nevertheless, for ease of manufacture, it is preferred that the female member have the recesses.
[0020] Thus, the sections can be snap-locked together by a telescoping movement followed by a simple rotational motion. Unlike conventional bayonet connections, the connection is essentially permanent due to the dual connector feature, and the edges of the projections and recesses.
[0021] The required twisting force is minimal due to the ramped surfaces of the projections. However, the connection strongly resists relative unlocking rotation between them because of abutting flat surfaces of the projections and the recesses when the sections are interlocked. As such, it is very hard to uncouple the sections.
[0022] These and other advantages of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description and drawings.

[0048] The invention provides a multi-segment handle that can be advantageously connected to mop heads or other devices such as paint rollers. The handle consists of several short (preferably less then one foot in length) sections that can be shipped and sold in small packages that can be displayed on conventional horizontal shelving and easily toted home by consumers.
[0049] Referring to FIG. 1, the handle 10 has an upper grip section 12, a lower accessory section 14 and one or more (preferably four) pole sections 16. The components are preferably molded of a suitable rigid plastic, such as a nylon, preferably glass-filled nylon, however other materials could be used, for example a low cost metal.
[0050] Referring to FIGS. 4-9, the grip section 12 is preferably molded hollow to approximately 10-30 cm (4-12 inches) in length and about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter. It may also have an ergonomic contour for grasping by a hand. The upper end of the grip section 12 has an opening 18 for hanging the handle 10 on a hook, nail or the like inserted either directly through the opening 18 or through a suitable strap (not shown) looped through the opening 18.
[0051] The downward end of the grip section 12 may have either a female or a male connection end 20. It is only important that the portion of the pole section 16 to be adjacent to it has the opposite type of end.
[0052] Referring next to FIGS. 1 and 14-16, at the opposite end of the handle 10 is the accessory section 14 to which can be attached various accessories 22 such as a bristled head (as in a broom or brush) or wet or dry mop heads. The accessory section 14 defines a yoke 24 at its lower end. The yoke 24 includes two arms 26 each preferably having a recess 28 (one shown) that can receive a hinge pin 29 extending through or from a side of a upstanding member 30 (see FIG. 1) of the accessory 22.
[0053] Opposite the yoke 24, the accessory section 24 defines an enlarged connection end 32. Again, the end can be either a male end, or a female end, with it merely being important that the portion of a pole section to adjoin it must have the opposite type of end.
[0054] Referring next to FIGS. 2-3 and 10-13, between the grip 12 and accessory 14 sections are one or more interconnected pole sections 16. The number of pole sections 16 will depend on the desired length of the handle 10 when assembled and the desired size of the unassembled handle with consideration for intended size of the product package. In the preferred form shown in FIG. 1, the handle 10 includes four identical pole sections 16. Together, the overall handle is of a typical length for a mop handle.
[0055] Each pole section 16 is preferably hollow with an outer diameter of one size, approximately 2.5 cm (about 1 inch), for most of its length, albeit with a narrower diameter female connection end 34. The female connection end has an internal cavity 36 (see FIG. 3) suitable to receive an opposite male connection end 38 of decreased diameter.
[0056] The male and female ends will be described herein with respect to the pole sections. However, it should be appreciated that the male end of the grip section (see FIGS. 7-9) and the female end of the accessory section (see FIGS. 15 and 16) are configured identically to the corresponding ends of the pole sections. Figures showing the ends of the grip and accessory sections will be used to aid in the description of the ends of the pole sections.
[0057] The male connection end 38 is formed with two sets or pairs of radially projecting elements, namely bosses 40 and ratchets 44. The boss and ratchet in each set are generally axially aligned and spaced apart, the boss being spaced in from the terminal end of the male end and the ratchet being axially spaced in further, at the shoulder. Each set is spaced from the other set preferably 180 degrees.
[0058] The bosses 40 are shallow circular projections projecting radially outward with tapered circumferences. As can best be seen in FIGS. 2 and 8-9, the ratchets 44 project radially outward and extend axially a short distance, approximately 5 mm (slightly less than �″). Each ratchet 44 has a flat side 42 and a ramped side 46 sloping downwardly away from the flat side.
[0059] Referring to FIGS. 3, 10 and 13, the female connection end 34 includes two D-shaped openings 48 in communication with the internal cavity 36 spaced apart 180 degrees and oriented with the flat side being axial and its bottom being nearest the terminal edge of the female connection end 34. The openings thus extend in a circumferential direction to the grooves.
[0060] As shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 13, the female connection end 34 is formed with two shallow parallel grooves 50 extending axially from the terminal edge to the openings 48, being axially offset but adjacent to the openings. The female connection end 34 is also formed with two pockets 52 generally axially aligned with the openings 48 and spaced circumferentially from the grooves 50. The pockets 52 are sized and configured to accommodate the ratchets, including a flat, radial surface 54.
[0061] Intermediate regions 58 lie between the grooves and the ratchets at the inner diameter of the female connection end and thus extend radially inward more than the pockets and the grooves. This interrupts free rotation of the male connection end in the female connection end by interfering with the ratchets. Locking rotation is eased by ramped surfaces 56 of the intermediate regions 58 that slope down toward the grooves.
[0062] The grip section 12 preferably has a male connection end 20 sized and is configured identically to the male connection ends 38 of the pole sections 16, and the accessory section 14 preferably has a female connection end 32 identical to the female connection ends 34. Accordingly, the grip section 12 interlocks with an adjacent pole section 16 by mating end 20 of the grip section 12 with the female connection end 34.
[0063] End 32 of the accessory section 14 interlocks with the male connection end 38 of an adjacent pole section 14. Two additional pole sections 16 interlock together and to the pole sections 16 mated with the grip 12 and accessory 14 sections. Preferably, the male connection ends are sized so that there is approximately 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) of overlap at the joints.
[0064] As shown in FIGS. 17-23, adjacent sections are mated by inserting a male end into a female end. The bosses 40 and the ratchets 44 are aligned with the axial grooves 50 and the adjacent sections are brought together until the bosses 40 reach the ends of the grooves, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 21. Rotating the male connection end with respect to the female connection, in this case in a clockwise direction, drives the bosses and the ratchets into the D-shaped openings and the pockets, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 19, 20 and 23.
[0065] As shown in FIG. 22, this rotation results in radial deflection of either or both of the male and female connection ends such that the ratchets and the bosses can pass by surfaces at the inner diameter of the female connection end radially inward further than the groove, namely the intermediate regions 58 and the small lipped area between the grooves and the D-shaped openings. The considerable force required for deflection is created by a simple twisting action by virtue of the mating ramp surfaces 46 and 56 as well as the tapered circumference of the bosses.
[0066] At this point, the built up spring force drives the bosses and the ratchets radially outward to �snap� into the D-shaped openings and the pockets, respectively (as shown in FIG. 20). Twisting and separation of the sections is resisted at the joints because of the engagement of the bosses with the walls of the D-shaped openings and more so the flat sides 42 and 54 of the respective ratchet and pocket as shown in FIG. 22. Thus, the bosses and ratchets act to properly align the mating section and also to prevent their relative rotation, particularly in the loosening direction in which the bosses would move back within the grooves.
[0067] Note also that the bosses 40 are more shallow than the thickness of the D-shaped openings 48 such that they are recessed within the openings. This, and the rigidity of the plastic, makes it difficult to compress the male ends to separate the sections. Thus, the handle is not only rigidly connected at the joints but its sections are substantially permanently connected once joined.
[0068] This structure thus provides a handle in multiple smaller sections that can be shipped and sold in a compact package while at the same time providing a handle that is rigid and seems nearly monolithic when assembled. It should be noted, however, that the sections could be made more easily separable.
[0069] An alternate version of a male connection end 38A for the grip 12 and pole 16 sections is shown in FIGS. 24 and 25. Like the prior embodiment, here the male connection end 38A is of a decreased diameter from the body of the section and includes two sets of bosses 40A and ratchets 44A. The ratchets are as described above, except that here the bosses are a D-shaped, like the openings 48A. In particular, each boss 40A extends at a first thickness from a flat side to an intermediate point, from which it tapers downwardly to a curved edge opposite the flat side.
[0070] Using a rigid plastic, this embodiment can provide an essentially permanent connection. The D-shape enhances the anti-rotational effect (in the loosening direction) of the bosses because of the engagement of the abutting flat surfaces of the D-shaped bosses and openings. Thus, this alternate embodiment of the male connection end could be employed to make the handle even more robust and difficult to disassemble.
[0071] Preferred embodiments of the invention have been described above in considerable detail. Other modifications and variations to the preferred embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, which will be within the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, although multiple short pole sections are preferred, the assembly could comprise only one pole section (of any length) and one accessory section, without departing from the scope of the invention. Moreover, the projections could be any suitable shape, other than round and D-shaped, such as rectangular, as could the openings, which could be internal grooves or recesses that do not extend through the thickness of the section walls.
[0072] Therefore, the invention should not be limited to the described embodiments. To ascertain the full scope of the invention, reference should be made to the following claims.
[0073] The invention provides an improved handle assembly.

I am taking a pill called Hyoscyamine Sulfate. Dr said it was suppose to be sublingual but I can't believe that would make a sublingual pill that tastes so horrible. It is white and round and thick. On one side it says 13 on the other it say CL. I am wondering if I have the right pill. Pill indentifer can't identify it. Anybody have any ideas?
