Syracuse Crunch
What to Expect from J-P CoteSubmitted by chad on December 19, 2013 - 13:59
Defenseman Jean-Philippe Cote is finally making his return to the NHL after a seven year absence after signing a 2-year, 2-way contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning yesterday. Cote has been an integral part of the Lightning organization for its AHL squads the last three year, most recently with Syracuse.
In September, we called Cote an "elite player for the Lightning organization" for his mentoring roles with prospects, high character, and all-around likability.
Simply put, there are players with all the skill in the world that kids try to emulate, trying trick shots and near-patented moves. Cote's the type of person and player that a dad will take his son by the shoulders, turn him in Cote's direction, and say "be like him." Even if the kid never makes the NHL, he's a player and person his family can be proud of.
Namestnikov Eyes January ReturnSubmitted by jghoughtaling on December 19, 2013 - 10:39
For a second-straight season, Vladislav Namestnikov spent most of December watching from the stands.
After getting off to more than a point per game pace, the Syracuse Crunch center had his sophomore season interrupted when he required surgery on his left hand, which was broken from blocking a shot against Hamilton at the Bell Centre in Montreal Nov. 22. The 21-year-old is now counting the days until he can return to the lineup.
"I'm even hungrier now," Namestnikov said. "I just want to get back as soon as possible. I can't wait."
AHL Game Night: 12-18-13 Crunch at BearsSubmitted by pete on December 18, 2013 - 22:53
Even with a hat trick, Crunch can't top Bears.
Kristers Gudlevskis allowed 3 goals on 37 shots before allowing 3 of 11 shooters convert in the penalty shot session for the SO loss.
First Period
SYR Rankin, (6) (Sergeev, Angelidis), 0:31
HER Deschamps, (6) (Segal, Schilling), 5:16
SYR Rankin, (7) (Angelidis, Paquette), 10:54
Second Period
SYR Rankin, (8) (Angelidis, Sergeev), 7:49
HER Kolomatis, (4) (Deschamps, Segal), 18:01
Third Period
HER Segal, (4) (Kolomatis, Schmidt), 16:58
SYR- Rankin, Paquette
HER- Stoa, Galiev, Mitchell
Evan Rankin and Mike Angelidis were the game's first and second stars.
It should be noted the Syracuse lineup did not include Dana Tyrell or Matt Taormina, both of which were returned by Tampa Bay today, nor did it include the freshly signed and recalled J.P. Cote. So, perhaps tonight's result wasn't all that bad under the circumstances.

Familiar Face Devos Unsure of FutureSubmitted by jghoughtaling on December 17, 2013 - 16:31
Signed to a tryout deal last month, Philip-Michael Devos joined the Syracuse Crunch with no idea about the length of his stay.
A Calder Cup champion with the Lightning's affiliate in Norfolk, Devos spent all of last season with the Crunch and played all 18 playoff games on Syracuse's run to the Calder Finals. He was not re-signed in the offseason and ended up with the Elmira Jackals of the ECHL, but with the injury bug taking bites out of the Crunch lineup, Tampa Bay looked for a familiar face to fill in.
"We brought him up because he could be a useful player for us," said Syracuse coach Rob Zettler of Devos. "He can play in all kinds of different situations, and what we liked was that he's familiar with how we play, and he's familiar with our guys and our culture. He seamlessly fit right in."
Gudlevskis, Crunch Shut Out Americans, 1-0Submitted by jghoughtaling on December 14, 2013 - 23:25
After getting pulled from a game earlier this week, Kristers Gudlevskis was eager to step back into the crease.
The Syracuse Crunch goalie looked at a few pucks hitting the pipes behind him as a positive omen, and finished with a 27-save shutout in a 1-0 win over the Rochester Americans at the Onondaga County War Memorial Saturday. The victory snaps a four-game losing streak for Syracuse.
"When you get those pipes, you start to feel comfortable," the Latvian netminder said. "You start to feel like it's your day. It's a lucky moment, it's help."

Re: Maximizing efficiency under sail
If light airs are expected on that route you would see significant gains from an Asymmetrical lighter weight sail vs your large genoa. A true Asymm will probably be usable between 60 deg to 150 degrees apparent to good effect. Since you're doing a 'circle route' of sorts it seems to me that barring heavy tradewinds you'll get good use out of such a sail.
Setting up a conventional symmetrical spinnaker is hands down the better way to get downwind, but unless you've all the required gear already that's a lot to put together, and on a 45 footer it can take a few bodies to safely and effectively gybe the sail.
If you've got a decent 'white sail' inventory then adding a carefully selected Asymm would be my choice for an overall effective versatile sail. Unless I'm mistaken the so-called Code 0 sails are mainly light weight headsails for closer-to-the wind-work (similar to what we used to call drifters).

David Irving to Speak in New York, Secretly
But protesters try to infilitrate Holocaust revisionist's plan
Notorious British Holocaust revisionist David Irving will be speaking in New York City on Saturday, but don't ask him where. Because he tends to draw protesters, Irving has implemented an elaborate procedure on his current United States tour in which would-be attendees must register on his website, at which point, Irving said in an interview with Tablet Magazine, he uses screening software to weed out likely protesters. Those who pass the screening are then notified by email a few hours before the event about where it will take place. "We have to do that because various Jewish groups will go out of their way to smash me up," Irving said.
Elan Steinberg, vice-president of a national organization called the American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, told Tablet Magazine that Irving is scheduling his engagements this way for another reason. It's "a way of disguising who he is to hotel managers and others who rent out public venues," Steinberg said. "Time and time again, hotel managers, bookshops, etc, have allowed him to speak there not realizing who he is." The American Gathering is therefore alerting the press that Irving will be in town, in the hope that venue managers will inquire into the identity of any mysterious guests who might be renting space on Saturday, Steinberg said. That strategy worked in Jackson, Mississippi, he said, when his group notified the city's mayor that Irving planned to speak at City Hall, prompting Irving to move his talk to a different location.
In the case of his upcoming New York engagement, a spy-versus-spy situation has emerged: a group called New Yorkers Against David Irving is attempting to infiltrate the lecture; Irving, in turn, said that two of his followers were present at the protest organization's planning meeting last night. Steinberg said that the American Gathering is not attempting to get on Irving's email list, but that if he gets a tip on Irving's whereabouts ahead of time, he'll send his own email inviting members to go protest.
A talk Irving gave in Palm Beach, Fla., late last month, ended in violence, not between followers and protesters, but between two followers, one of whom police identified as a white supremacist, according to the Jackson Free Press. They got into a knife fight outside the meeting room.

Reminding kids: Lávate las manos
Funny song reminds kids to get rid of the goo and wash their hands.
Fri, Oct 02, 2009 at 02:00 PM
I don't know about you, but with all of the hype this year surrounding the swine flu, the regular flu, and other kids' illnesses, I've been trying harder than ever to make sure that my kids wash their hands frequently throughout the day. But as with most things, my kids seem to hear the message more clearly if it comes from someone other than mom. And if the message happens to come in the form of a silly song...all the better.
So here's a little ditty that I think just might do the trick. It' free download from Bill Hadley of a song that reminds kids to "wash their hands (lávate las manos)." Here's an excerpt of the lyrics.
"Everyone's got germs but you keep them to yourselfKeep the colds and the flu up there on the shelfIf you want to stay healthy, there's a little trickDo it everyday and you don't get sick ......Those sneaky little germs don't want you to washThey want everything dirty, oh yeah, my goshThey love it when your hands are grimy and stickyThen they grow and multiply, they're icky icky icky!"
It's "cutesy" and yes, it will get stuck in your head...but it will also get stuck in your kids' heads and maybe, just maybe, it will help them remember to (lávate las manos) a little more often throughout the day! Click here to download Wash Your Hands by Bill Harley.
