Lady Raiders vs. Iowa State
January 5, 2013
Texas Tech Head Coach Kristy Curry
On the last minute of the series when Texas Tech had a chance to win it
"It probably shouldn't have come down to that, I thought our kids really did a great job of fighting, clawing, and scraping and getting stops and we just couldn't make shots and you have to make shots."
On if this was the type of game she expected
"Its always that way in the league, it comes down to possessions and making plays on both ends and I thought our defensively in the second half really adjusted, and to have 14 steals and more second-chance points those are two just hustle areas and we forced 22 turnovers, we just weren't able to convert, we got 18 more shots than they did and credit them for making shots but we just weren't able to make enough shots."
On if she was surprised by how well Iowa State did shooting the ball
"Not at all, they do a great job of shooting the basketball and it seemed like the first half we gave up the three and in the second half they were able to get the ball inside. I thought we really played hard but you just have to credit them for making some big shots."
On how Kelsi Baker played tonight
"Well just defensively I thought she did outstanding she just played really smart and heady and did a great job understand the scouting, Anna Prinns only had three, but it's very difficult to score inside and we've got to understand that and we did some things and got some great looks at the high post but we couldn't knock those down and just credit Kelsi for playing really smart, I thought she played hard and smart."

Texas Tech Player Quotes
Senior Chynna Brown
On if it was hard to get the ball inside to the post players
"It was pretty tough to get the ball inside for us at times, I feel like our posts were working hard trying to get the ball and we just tried to get it in whenever we could."
On if it was a game plan for her and Casey Morris to shoot from the perimiter as much as they did
"Not really, Coach Curry always tells to have our feet ready and set to shoot so most of the time Casey and I were open we just got the ball and shot and didn't think about it."
Senior Casey Morris
On getting 1,000 career points tonight
"I wasn't worried about that I was worried about winning, I would have rather gotten a win but I am happy it was in front of our fans because they are so loyal to us and I appreciate them and am glad it happened in front of them but I wasn't really worried about the points and wanted to get the W, but we'll come back and bounce back and do good on Wednesday."

Iowa State Head Coach Bill Fennelly
Opening Statement
"Everyone gets tired of hearing this but welcome to the Big 12 I guess, just another hard fought game just two teams that I think both teams our going to sleep well tonight both played really really hard, two good defensive teams, very proud of our kids and the way they found a way to win and overcome some things. We shot it great in the first half and I thought guarded great the second half, but you know to come on the road and beat a team like this is a great accomplishment for our team, we had a great week beating Texas and Texas Tech and it's very very special and I'm proud of the way we were resilient and found ways to do things that didn't look great all the time but the result was real good."
On the effort by both teams tonight
"It was unbelievable effort by both teams, I don't know if either team could have played any harder and I don't know if I've seen teams play any harder for 40 minutes and the Tech kids you can tell, they're seniors, they're well coached, they're committed, they're like us they do the hard stuff to win games and we were fortunate to get one more rebound, to make one more shot, and make one more play and as a coach all you can ask is that your team plays as hard as they can play and I think both teams played as hard as they could play and we were just lucky to have four more points at the end."
On getting the timeout during the last minute
"Well there was a loose ball situation and we told the refs if it's a loose ball we are going to call a timeout and there was a loose ball situation and the kids called a timeout and gave us a chance to inbound the ball and we practice those kinds of things and we talk about it a lot and we save our timeouts a little too long and it drives my parents and a lot of our fans crazy but that's the reason we try and save them is for those situations because their defense is so good that a lot of times we had a hard time inbounding the ball and that's why we had a timeout was to get our kids organized was important."
On if he was surprised by Texas Tech's defense
"Not really we knew their on-ball defense was going to be good, Monique Smalls is as good of a defender as there is in this league and they got up into us and really made us uncomfortable, we had some offensive fouls from trying to get open, but Nicki Moody did a good job of keeping one extra dribble which led to an open pass because they were open and then second half they did a great job on the three-point line we couldn't get one off and that's the reason we were in the game at half time was because we made eight three's and you have kids coming off the bench and making shots. It's always been a big part of our game but the way it happened tonight it probably gave us a chance at half time to be up three and gave us a chance to win."

Iowa State Player Quotes
Junior Hallie Christofferson
On if it was really tough on offense for Iowa State
"They were really up on us, both on the perimeter and in the post and it was hard to the ball in and to get it back out to Nikki."
On if it was frustrating not being able to get the ball to the posts
"I mean it goes back and forth, when you are trying to get it back into the post they're playing such hard defense that it is difficult and when you get frustrated you have to take a deep breath and get your composure back."
"You know u always hope for that but luckily we did because that kept us in the game."

ECE Professor Kuang-Ching Wang has received a two-year, $990,000 grant from the National Science Foundation for his project, "CC-NIE Integration: Clemson-NextNet." Through the project, Wang and his co-investigator Jim Bottum, Vice Provost for Computing & Information Technology at Clemson University, will work to develop revolutionary campus networks. The project is part of the NSF's Campus Cyberinfrastructure - Network Infrastructure and Engineering Program.
Clemson Next-Net models a next-generation evolutionary campus network and services for productive and innovative research and education. The project builds upon existing work to expand Clemson's networking capabilities, enable Software Defined Networking (SDN) in at least 20 buildings on campus, and integrate high-speed campus research and education locations into the campus and national OpenFlow based infrastructure. The completed network extension will support significant new scientific research and education opportunities for multiple departments, colleges, and research groups across Clemson that require access to remote instruments and/or transfer large datasets. The project also facilitates future advances in Clemson's networking infrastructure and its ability to connect to the national infrastructure.
The project provides a template for other universities who are planning similar campus network transformations and are working directly with Clemson on cross-campus projects in and beyond this project. Outreach, education, and training activities are also engaging faculty, students, and IT staff on campus and across campuses to leverage the created SDN network environment for their research, education, and operational needs. Such a quantum change in their perception of the networking and computing mechanism will provide users the basis and incentive to create new use cases with the technology.

Tonkinson Financial
Top Quality Wealth Management for Middle-Class Investors
Tonkinson Financial provides middle-class investors with top quality research, advice, and portfolios that are custom tailored to the clients' investment criteria. For 20 years, Tonkinson Financial, a family-owned wealth management firm, has built portfolios for average working families using the same level of service and sophisticated technologies typically reserved for those with millions to invest.
"Middle-class investors – hard-working families with perhaps as little as $50,000 in annual income – have been bamboozled into believing that financial freedom is out of their reach. Many large money management firms and personal bankers market solely to those who have investable assets of $5 million," explains Rick Tonkinson, President of Tonkinson Financial.
As a former Peace Corps volunteer, Rick still has his heart on the side of the little guys who get no service, no advice, and no communication because they are considered too small by other financial advisors, who set up large, arbitrary minimum account-size requirements. Tonkinson Financial requires no minimum account size.
Rick, his wife, Margarita, and son, Steven, who are Investment Adviser Representatives of Commonwealth Financial Network, Member FINRA, are breaking the industry's traditional model by deliberately not chasing after the rich. Clients of modest means get the same level of attention as their well-heeled counterparts: a free, thorough initial face-to-face consultation, frank advice from seasoned, credentialed, independent professionals who provide objective advice, and continuous monitoring of their portfolios to ensure they are on track to pursue goals.
"More important, we have a moral obligation to serve our clients' best interest. We have a moral compass," states Rick.
"Our focus is to minimize the losses and not maximize the gains. The investment objective is an optimal performance based on current investment conditions. We are considered boring and dull which means, to our clients, security and stability in their accounts," says Steven Tonkinson, CFP®, co-manager of the accounts for the past 10 years.
Tonkinson Financial currently has $220 million of client assets, which is comparable in size to a neighborhood bank. It has over 1,100 accounts and the average account size is $176,000. This is way below the radar screen of the Wall Street money managers. It is truly refreshing to know there is a wealth manager who can take care of middle-class clients as if their account was several times larger elsewhere.

Water is the most important element of universe, either for supporting life in microcosm or macrocosm. In the concept of Hindu community in Bali, water is highly purified because it belongs to the part in what the so-called apah in the Panca Mahabhuta or five great elements of nature. Water lies in the control of Lord Vishnu, serving as the operator. Balinese people believe the presence of water is not just for cooking, bathing and washing clothes. Water is also a part of spiritual ceremonies to make tirtha (holy water). As mentioned in Old Javanese that tirtha or spiritually purified water is good for people who are still alive, the dead and the universe.
A lecturer at the State Institute of Hindu Dharma (IHDN) Denpasar, Dr. I Gusti Ngurah Sudiana, said that water in this life did not only exist in the universe, but also within the human body called toya or yeh. Function of water within the body had a close connection to the water in universe. Water in human body supported the entire body with a different name. Water as the source of life existing in human body was called amniotic fluid, tear, sweat, blood, mucus and other fluids. All the liquids were called apah where each had its own strength and god. "The entire water substance in the universe and within human body can give life," he said.
Universe without water would dry and die. Similarly, without water, the human body would heat up, tension rose and the body seemed aflame. In essence, if there was no water in the life, the universe would not exist.In the universe, there were five kinds of water substance always used by the Hindu community in any ceremony called Panca Tirtha. They consisted of honey, clear water, rice wine, palm wine and arrack, while the one within the body was called Pancha Toya.
Hindu community in Bali recognized 33 kinds of holy water. Therefore, people were required to maintain the presence of water by spiritual path. For example, sea water was maintained in a spiritual way through ceremony called segara kertih, lake (danu kertih) and forest (wana kertih). Water sources were purified because they were taken advantage to carry out the Melasti ceremony. The ceremony to usher in the divine effigies into the water sources was believed to become Tirtha Amrita (water of life) from the ocean. "On that account, the water sources are maintained and made ceremonies and shrines (abode) of Lord Vishnu called bedugul," he explained.
Well, to maintain the existing water in human body was also through spiritual path. For example, melukat or purificatory rite was carried out by holy water or bathing in the springs having been equipped with the offerings. Sudiana admitted that Hindu society had various types of ceremonies associated with the maintenance of water. It was clearly discernible in various ceremonial activities undertaken by farmers through social organization known as subak. This irrigation system in Bali had the rules and respected the water.
One of the activities was welcoming water for irrigating their fields. Such sacred ritual made the paddy field sacred. Anyone should not be doing obscene things, disposing feces and doing other activities. "The philosophy of water in the field is closely related to Goddess Sri denoting the shakti (consort) of Lord Vishnu," he explained. Farmers also maintained the sanctity of water resources by holding ceremonies such as pakelem, melasti and nangluk merana. These ceremonies would not only purify the water, but also the place and surrounding areas. On that account, the Hindus dared not disturb the water source."People that do not love water, they will lack of water and even it can cause death and disease. Therefore, water should be rigorously maintained. Where there is a water source or water flow, it is strictly prohibited to discard carcasses, urine, feces, toxins and waste," he said.
Farmers in Bali believed that Lord Vishnu as the symbol of purusha (male) was associated with water and Goddess Sri as a symbol of pradhana (female) associated with seeds/seedlings. "It is the element of water with the seeds creating the life," he explained. Balinese people had the ways to maintain the sanctity and beauty of water resources. One of them was by providing mythology so that no one bothered the water. For example, people were not allowed to use water carelessly and rudely, but there were steps for people to take water and should not take it directly to the source. "When violated, they believe that they will get reprimand from God," he said.
Hindu society did not dare to blaspheme and uttered impolite words to water that had been sanctified. Otherwise, the efficacy of water would turn bad. Especially, in Bali the clean and pure water were different. Clean water that had not got spells (mantra) was called toya ning, while holy water that had got spells or had been purified with mantra had different sacredness from the water that had not. "So, the water is really extraordinary and humans can survive for months only with water, but humans will overheat without drinking water during the day," he said.
Another mythology was mentioning that large trees located near water sources could not be cut down because it was very sacred. It was one of the reasons why many large trees could be found at water sources. Even, some were given the identity of sanctity as bound with checkered clothes, completed with shrines and consecrated. "Philosophically, a tree symbolizes prosperity that holds the groundwater. Tree serves to supply water, so that it should be preserved physically and spiritually. By spiritual manner, the tree is given ritual on Tumpek (Saturday Kliwon) Wariga," added Sudiana. (BTN/ocha/015)

This child's rocking chair was a great find on an auction website. It had a dated, varnished finish but we knew it had potential!
We sprayed it with Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint in Sunset Orange (Gloss) and added some coordinated cushions to make it look fresh and modern.
Turning an old, unwanted piece of furniture into something bespoke and desirable is now termed "upcycling" – and nothing can be more satisfying than transforming an object into something individual and distinctive.
The storage tins on the window ledge, one an old sweet tin and the other an old, ceramic, trinket box, have also been spray painted with the same orange spray paint and Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch in Berry Pink (Gloss).
Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint is a premium all-surface spray paint that provides both long lasting protection and durability. The formulation delivers exceptional coverage on plastic, wood, metal, concrete, wicker, aluminium and masonry surfaces. It features an advanced spray system that allows you to spray at any angle, even upside down for those hard to reach areas.

NEWARK -- The best senior girls basketball players in Delaware gathered Saturday afternoon at the Bob Carpenter Center for the annual Blue-Gold All-Star Game, benefiting Best Buddies Delaware. The final score, perhaps the least important number of the day, was 106-83 in favor of the Blue, which represented the northern part of the state.
Concord's Meghan Doogan had eight points early on, including two three-pointers, on her way to 17 points to lead all scorers. She said the talent level on the floor makes everyone better.
"Playing with girls like that, they get you the ball so easily. It's really nice," said Doogan, whose sister Kelly, a graduate assistant coach at Providence College, saw her play for the first time this season. Kelly Doogan was a standout at Ursuline Academy from 2005-09 and played at St. Francis University (Pa.).
Doogan's Blue teammate, Sanford's Alison Lewis, added 15. The duo will be playing next year for Boston University, and both said they are committed to the Terriers despite the current investigation of the team's head coach, Kelly Greenberg. Greenberg has been accused by eight former players of mistreatment and bullying, but Lewis and Doogan said they are honoring their letters of intent.
"I love Boston the school, and I'm definitely committed to go there," Doogan said. "I love Greenberg the coach, but I chose Boston for the school."
Summer session in Beantown begins on June 28. Between now and then, the Claymont resident will be doing basketball workouts and improving her conditioning to ready for the college game. She also will play a new sport this spring for the Raiders, tennis. On Saturday, however, she showed Delaware that basketball is definitely her No. 1 sport.
Be sure to check out the slideshow from Saturday's action.

Baby Names Needed for Triplets
|February 28, 2011
A reader named Skylar is expecting triplets in June. She writes:
I do not know the gender of the babies yet as my husband and I have decided to keep it a surprise. The triplets will be joining and older brother Beckett Wade (Wade after my brother) and Britton Pearl (Pearl after my great grandmother, also my middle name). I am looking for boys and girls names to name the triplets. I do not like common names, I would prefer something trendy to pair with family middle names.
I rarely get requests for trendy names, so this e-mail really stood out.
One great place to look for trendy (or soon-to-be trendy) names is the SSA's Change in Popularity page, which lists names that increased in popularity from 2008 to 2009. Here are some of the names on that list:
The SSA's list doesn't include names that didn't make the top 500, though, so here are a few more names (from a bit lower down in the rankings) that also increased in popularity from 2008 to 2009:
Do you like any of the above with Beckett and Britton? What other names would you suggest? How about name combinations?
103 Responses to Baby Names Needed for Triplets
Would you want to continue the B theme or go with different initials? I think Beckett and Britton are both surnamey/place namey type of names, so I'd look for names that "match" that. I think Ryker, Daxton and Archer go well with the names as do Willow, Milan, and Harlow.
Some ideas:
B names: Brody, Bennett, Bailey, Barrett, Benson, Blake, Bryce, Byron (I like Bailey and Bryce for girls, the rest are "boys" names to me)
I like the sound of Beckett, Britton, Crosby, Auden and Delaney/Fraser.
I think Austin would be a good name for these. I don't know why but I just see it with Beckett and Britton. I am partial to Auden, Maria's suggestion, because it's my daughter's but now I'm afraid the name will start becoming popular…
I also think Lincoln and even Lyla/Lila would work well. Though maybe because Britton isn't as feminine as Lyla/Lila it wouldn't.
Good luck! I always feel a special connection to parents of multiples because I have 2 sets. :)
ok i absolutly LOVE the names lyla,austin,and crosby. My friend has a daughter named auden so im not sure i would do that although it is pretty,a nd my other friends sister's name is delaney so although i like those names im not sure i would do them. My husband and I have definitely decided on lyla and austin for 2 of the triplets names however i need at elast 2 more boys and girls names for the triplets. thanks for your suggestions!!
[Note from Nancy: This comment and the next two are from Skylar.]
we have also agreed on crosby for a boy because we both played college hockey and both really love sidney crosby(plays for the pittsburgh penguins, best hockey player in the NHL right now). it definitely goes with our hockey family thank you Maria for that suggestion I would have never thought of that and i love it!!!
spencer is also very cute i think its very trendy and preppy. definitely one to consider!
Just had a thought! I think Ruby might work well, also maybe Christian and Benjamin which were on my list.
thanks for your suggestions allie! however im not sure i like ruby at all. Christian and Benjamin are both names i like but they are too common for me. Thanks anyway!
thinking about dempsey for a girl..any thoughts???
I like Asher, Austin and Leighton?
i really like dempsey for a girl but im not totally completely in love. I think i would like another sporty trendy name to go with austin beckett and crosby. Still need 2 more girls names though. So far these are the names my husband and I have decided on:
Girls: Lyla Michelle
Boys: Austin Marc and Crosby Camden
I really like Lyla Michelle, very feminine and pretty, Kind of the opposite of Britton Pearl but I think that's what makes is work.
Hmmm….. Maybe Jacoby, Alexander, Ashton, Trenton, Kashyn, Jeremy/Jeremiah or Caden? Just some names derived from sports stars…
For girls I think since you have Lyla and Britton you should do one more feminine name and one more unisex. Elody/Elodie/Alody/Alodie, Rosalie or Aubrey for more feminine and maybe Audley, Spencer, Parker or Ellery/Emory/Emerson.
im not sure about those girls names but i do really like jacoby!! What does everyone think about collins for a girl??? Im not sure about it, it may be too southern with me already ahving lyla austin and britton which i consider sounthern names
some boy suggestions: Stryker, Karter, Jonas, Levi, Elisha, Riley, Wynn, Logan, Theo, Jax, Emery, Kayden, Felix, Devon, Drake, Myles, Jayce, Ryder, Peyton, Oakley, Jericho, Luka, Shay, Uriel, Calyx, River, Phoenix, August, Sylar, Harper, Leif, Koa.
@skyerhyly really like the names oakley and levi!!
Oakley I would say is better the Levi. Levi reminds me of Bristol Palin's son's father, and really I don't think I'd want my son to have that association personally…
Suggested Girl Names:
Brita (love this name but you already have some B's)
Suggested Boy Names:
Dashiell (love the idea of the nickname Dash!)
oakley and jacoby are both neat names and ones were considering
@bria gwenyth is pretty but I'm not sure I like it and I'm not sure I like dashiell or dash..it just reminds me of the kardashian's store and seems a bit feminine for my sport other guys names
What abot Collins for a girl? Any thoughts?
I knew a few Collins (surname) boys, so for me it's a name that is very "boy." I also knew a boy named Colin (no s), so Collins seems too surname-y. Instead of Collins, would you consider Callen(girl), Cooper (boy) or Camden (either)?
I reall only like Camden from those and that is my cousins name which we already decided to use as a middle name for crosby
Using your other kids' names as inspiration, if you like trendy I'd suggest choosing a last-name-as-first-name, a place name, and one of the consonant+ayden creations. You'd have a lot of names to choose from that way, and no child will seem like that "one of these things is not like the other" song. lol.
Corbin, Brooklyn and Kayden?
Miller, Dakota and Jayden?
Peyton, Willow and Braydon?
McKenna, Grayson and Haydon?
I WOULD say to go for one of the less-common-old-fashioned names that are so popular now, but I don't think it'd fit with your other children's names/your naming style since you're already using (possibly old-fashioned) family names as middles.
Ah, that is so cool that you have that association with Crosby :) I really like the name and your connection to it.
I didn't think I would but I do really like Jacoby for a girl. I also like the suggestions of Dakota and Grayson above.
Some other ideas (sorry for repeats!)
Peyton/Payton, Kinley, Kenna/Makenna and Raleigh are really cute! I wish I had heard Raleigh just about 4 weeks ago, LOL. Trenton and Lennox sound good to! I like the way Lleyton is spelled, Leighton Meester has made it seem like a girls name but that spelling is very masculine. Any thoughts Skylar?
kinley and peyton are both really cute girls names. i think i would prefer peyton of those though. Ive always loved the name Hayden too.
I really like easton as well but is it too similar to austin??
ok im thinking i need some hockey names for the last boys name. I do like the name Brooks after herb brooks who is one of my favorite hockey players/coaches. especially becuase my favorite movie of all time is miracle.
I think you could do Easton for a girl even but if you've already decided on Austin I don't think that'd work.
Love, love, love Brooks, especially the hockey connection, in this sibset. You could even stretch it to Brooke or Brooklyn for a girl. I'd love to see you look for a girl's hockey-related name, too. There is of course, Sydney (but not if you're set on Crosby). But you could have a Sydney (girl) and a Brooks (boy).
yeah i dont think i want to have 2 sidney crosby names…but i would like to find a girls name. Some of my other favorite hockey players right now are milan lucic and evgeni malkin. Any way to make those into names that i could use without them being too european??
OMG Mila is soo cute i love that idea!!! But yes Eugene or Eugenia isnt quite what im looking for but i LOVE Mila thank you!
Didn't read the entire post, but noticed you asked opinions on "Collins" for a girl. My daughter is Collins Caroline and I have gotten mostly incredibly positive feedback! I think it's adorable! Our son is Hayes Scott.
Other favorites of mine:
Henry (we like the double name Will Henry)
I do love the name Collins but I'm not sure my husband and I are going to follow through with that name anymore even if it is very cute. Also since I've already decided on the name lyla I think mila is too similar to it so if anyone has ideas about any other hockey names for girls that would be great! Please let me know -skylar
Is there something about using Milan that you didn't like (I know it was changed to Mila, but not sure why)? Because it seems like Milan would be a really pretty fit with your style!
I'm looking at this site for hockey player names and have found quite a few players named Bill, Bobby, Frank and Charlie. Billie, Bobbi, Frankie and Charlie are all adorable name (or nicknames) for girls, too! If you wanted longer "real" names, you could go with Willow for Billie, Barbara or Beatrice for Bobbi, Francine or Francesca for Frankie, and Charlotte or Charlaine for Charlie (among many other names that would give you these nicknames!)?
Other names I saw on that list that might work for first names were Alex, Yvan (would best be Yvonne for you), Mikita, and Fleur (from Lafleur). Also, Bentley and Benedicta (originally last name Benedict) are pretty names that could be nicknamed Bennie- which is adorable for a little girl!
i like Mila i think its just too similar too Lyla. I think i like the way Mila looks but not the way it sounds although it is growing on my and im beginning to grow away from Lyla i also like Charlotte/CHarlie for a girl
I love Mila, too. I've actually heard it pronounced both "mee-lah" and "my-lah"…so you'd have options there. You could always drop the L and go with either Mia or Mya? That gets it further away from the namesake, though. I was asking about the name Milan, like the Italian fashion capital (and the hockey player's full first name, I believe), though. I think it fits perfectly with Britton, and it could be made a little more feminine by adding an -a on the end (Milana). It gives way to cute nickames like Mila and Millie, too, or even Lani if you wanted. Also, Charlie can be a nickname for other names than Charlotte (although that's my favourite!), like Carlotta or even Carlin.
oh i really like Lani but i dont like Milana or Milan for a girl. I do still like Mila for a girl though. The Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins are my favorite hockey teams. Do you think you could look at the rosters and help me come up with a couple guys or girls names thatd be great!
Oh and i just realized something awesome!! I could really go with the name Charlotte/CHarlie after Zddeno Chara on the Bruins
I like the name Chara actually by itself! You could also do Carla or Caroline/Carolina/Carolyn/Carolie. Charalyn or one of your own Chara-girlie ending of your own could work.
Ooh, good idea! Hmm…well, you could always feminize the names like Brooks, Joe, Eric, Chris, Michael, James, Arron, Shawn, Alex, etc (Brook, Joey, Erica, Christie, Michaela, Jamie, Erin, Shawna, Lexi)? And like I said last post, you can come up with more formal names to go with those nicknames (ex: Josephine for Joey, Christiana for Christie, Alexis for Lexi).
As far as last names go, Lovejoy could be separated into either Love or Joy (but both might be a little too much), Fleury becomes Fleur, Michalek to Michelle or Michaela, Martin to Martina? I think Marchand, Conner, Ryder, Kelly and Campbell would all work without alteration (though some are unusual for girls), and lend themselves to nicknames if you'd rather use that (like Connie or Cam). Marchand could become Marcella, but I think Marchand is kinda neat (I'm assuming it pronounced like "mar-shahnd") on it's own.
I like Nancy's idea of Victor or Victoria, too! Using the names of important rinks or historically victorious coaches or something like that would be a fun namesake. Things like that will always have the same meaning to you, unlike favourite players which could change over time (I'd hate to name a kid after a modern-day sports favourite only to have that person pull a Ben Roethlisberger or something).
@Ashley- thats exactly the same thing I was thinking! I made sure my sister didn't name her son Jacoby after Jacoby Ellsbury, her favorite baseball player from the Red Sox, because you never know what could happen to them!
I know, right?! My husband is all, "Let's name our daughter Rose after Derek Rose!!!1!!1" I'm okay with it as long as it's a name that is "common" enough that you can stop saying it's after a specific person if said person goes crazy or something. I'd just hate to start despising the name, too, if the namesake really lets me down.
My husband also wants to use Halas for a boy (can you tell we're Chicago fans? lol), which is incredibly specific, but I'm cool with that since the guy's dead. Not to sound callous, but…barring any random, late-surfacing skeletons of Papa Bear, at least my/the public's opinion of him won't be changing anytime soon.
@allison i do love the name Chara but i think its too weird
@nancy i feel the same way about the name victoria, but i like the idea of VIctoria, like naming it after an important hockey rink. I wish there was some way to connect a name to the 1980 olympic gold medal win at Lake Placid NY help me out??
@ashley i love the name Alex and Alexandria(Lexi) after Alex Ovechkin but im afraid their too common although i do love them
how about the name Bauer for a boy?

My Fox 8 reported on July 31, 2014, that two giraffes were being transported on a South African highway while both of their heads and necks stuck out the top of a trailer attached to the truck.
The accident happened around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, and eyewitnesses were horrified. One fellow driver said that he recalls hearing a "loud crack" when the accident happened.
SEE: Giraffe riddle - Why you're probably answering the Facebook riddle wrong
NBC News reported that a number of eyewitnesses began tweeting pictures of the two giraffes with their necks jutting out the top of the trailer. One Twitter user named Pabi Moloi:
"Look how low that bridge is and how tall the giraffes are," tweeted Moloi. "Who thought this one through? I wish I hadn't seen this."
Rick Allan of the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals confirmed that the pictures were legit and the giraffe did die. He stated that the giraffes were being transported in an "incorrect" way and that it was "not up to standards."
Early indications show that the giraffe did die instantly upon hitting its head on the low-lying bridge.
32-year-old engineer Thinus Botha pulled over to get a picture of the giraffes in the trailer and then a few seconds later, he witnessed the accident. He said there was a "loud bang" and he "saw blood coming from the nose of the giraffe."
The driver was stopped by a toll booth operator further up the road. The driver later told reporters that the truck "went through lots of other bridges before the accident and the giraffe had craned its neck."
An investigation is still ongoing.
Numerous Twitter users said how the incident reminded them of a scene from "The Hangover III" in which Alan caused a 20-car pileup after accidentally decapitating a giraffe he was transporting in a trailer attached to his car.

Oh, I know how to work that.
UpCrystals.2da governs each "lightsaber", it's got lines for every special color crystal that allows for upgrade. And links to the .uti files for the short/normal/double sabers that are formed when that specific crystal is applied/assembled on a workbench.
This is why Darth Bandon's saber cannot be changed, ie "don't remove the red crystal" if you get it. Because the crystal you get is just a common red crystal. And putting any other crystal in the hilt, which is for a normal saber, will revert it to the base item as listed in UpCrystal.2da.
The two PC-only color crystals are exactly the same. They have their own separate item .uti's, and a line each in UPCrystal.2da.
As far as properties, you edit those in each of the .uti for lightsabers. The HotG and MoF ones are different than the rest. That's why the effects are different. It's just as simple as altering the property in the item file.
What I meant, though, was for two power crystals to affect one another. Like Solari gives one thing, Bondar gives another. But use them together, and the effect is altered slightly. Like they are working for, or against, one another.
It's of little importance. If it can't be done, it's no big deal. I have several plans I'd like to put into effect for lightsabers.
1) Unique Saber Hilts/Crystals
I liked how you could get Bandon's saber, but not that it is just a temporary thing. Makes it feel like a glitch.
So I was thinking of taking the crystals and creating a special one, to put in Bandon's saber. That could allow for upgrades, with the effects generated by Bandon's saber.
Along that line, I want to do the same for Uthar and Yuthura, and possibly design a hilt for Revan. ((If I were better at this, I'd have it "tucked away" in HK-47, just like R2 in Return of the Jedi, as Revan's backup hilt. That you can receive after fully repairing HK-47, but that's a bit beyond me.))
2) Differences between Short/Normal/Double Sabers
I thought about this yesterday. So far the main difference I've seen is their damage output. I wanted to alter them a bit further, though. So each type has it's own advantages and disadvantages.
Short: They are shorter, so it's a bit harder to reach your opponent, but at the same time they are more maneuverable and easier to defend with. (-1 Attack Rolls, +1 Defense)
Normal: These are unchanged.
Double: Because of their length and nature, they are harder to defend with. You have to be more cautious while using them, so that while you are deflecting that blaster bolt, you don't slice off your foot, or into a party member. (-2 Defense)
I think those are rather minor alterations, but would translate well into how you played. Another alteration is in how the power crystals work.
I was thinking of expanding on what I listed above in terms of crystal effects.
Short Saber: Attack Roll crystals = Less, Defense Crystals = More
Double Saber: Defense Crystals = Less, Damage Crystals = More
So if a crystal was +2 AB, in a short saber it might only offer +1 AB. But at the same time, if that crystal offered +1 to Defense, you would receive +2 to Defense. Further increasing what the hilts already stand for.
This is just something I've been speculating about. If I put it in, it'd mostly be for my own purposes. To try and broaden out lightsabers and make each type useful in specific ways.

On the future of mobile
If any PR person out there is questioning why mobile is important, they need shooting. Give up and go home. Really. With more people owning mobiles than fridges, not considering the mobile aspects to anything we do is unforgiveable.
(And yes, I know I need to dogfood where this site is concerned – I'm on the case!)
So here are a few predictions from last weeks mobile meetup (at Tech Hub) in highly visual form (note that these are the concerns from a primarily developmental perspective):
It was fantastic that Mike Beardmore managed to capture a fantastic talk from this week's Reading Geek. It's well worth watching for an insight into the big trends.
Given the predictions here for heavy duty, faster downloads to mobile this year, and absolutely nothing to do with Apple, (indeed lots of focus on busting away from Apple/itunes) I'm beginning to regret having upgraded my phone from Blackberry to the iphone 4S already this year. Combined with all sorts of predictions about a Nokia comeback with their rather sexy new phone, I will, as usual, be the laggard stuck with yesterday's phone for two years.
I've always felt professionally that it was important for my technology to stay mainstream to help understand users' reality, but with mobile looking this exciting, it's going to the the year of the green eyed monster for me on the phone front, I feel.

If there's one thing I miss, it's playing with other people. Is anyone aware of any jams, gatherings, song circles, get-togethers -- anything! -- on the north side of town or nearby? I've looked -- obviously, not very well, 'cause I haven't found anything.

Hey Ken, I haven't found a lot happening on this site. I do get together with a buddy every Tuesday. Haven't found anything else - we are in Johns Creek. Maybe we can talk about getting together at some point. I am diving deeply into flatpicking....not very good at all and the biggest takeaway thus far is how many bad habits I have.
Well, I actually found a couple of things going on. There's a place in Roswell called the Ragamuffin Music Hall that has a song circle Friday nights from 7:30 till 10:30 hosted by a bunch of very nice folks calling themselves the Stone Soup Circle. There's also a fold music sing-a-long Saturday afternoon from 5 to 7 at a place called Steve's Live Music in Sandy Springs Road. It's been a lot of fun, some very nice (and very talented) folks. There are also some other meet-ups out there I haven't had the chance to check out yet. Guess I just haven't been looking hard enough...

Honkers Gentlemen's Club
Honkers is a strip club located in Tudor, Alderney, on the corner of Tinderbox Ave. and Julin Ave. It was owned by Pegorino Boss, Jimmy Pegorino, and operated by Pegorino associate Phil Bell.
The club bears a resemblance to Satin Dolls, a strip club located in Lodi, New Jersey, which was featured in The Sopranos as The Bada Bing! strip club. The name bears similarity to the Hooters restaurant chain. The Logo itself bares significant resemblance to the "Honker Burger" logo from the "Doug" Television show, as noted here.
Honkers, as well as the Triangle Club, is a place for an activity that can be done with any of Niko's friends. Some of the girls in the game also like going to the strip clubs.
Honkers is significantly smaller than the Triangle Club.

Huawei Honor now comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (but only in China)
Back in December, Huawei offered a "demo" version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for its Honor smartphone, allowing users to dream about a full version.
Now the handset has been officially launched with Android ICS on board – although on in China (via China Unicom). Of course, this means that if you've already bought the Honor with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, an update to Ice Cream Sandwich should be available for your device soon.
Starting February (just before Valentine's Day), Huawei will launch a white edition of the Honor – it's not clear if this will happen only in China, or around the world.
The Huawei Honor features a 4 inch FWVGA (854 x 480) display, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, 8MP rear camera with 720p video recording, front-facing camera, 1.4GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory, and a 1930 mAh battery. The handset is available in the US via Cricket Wireless under the name of Huawei Mercury.

I admit to some previous skepticism when it comes to believing in the power of social media to do the heavy lifting that solid brand marketing requires. But when it comes to the power of social media to gain publicity and power on behalf of non-profit causes and organizations, I've seen the light.
Take this weekend just past. Ride for the Feast is an annual event that draws bicyclists from all walks of life to pump their legs nearly non-stop for 140 miles from Ocean City, Maryland to Baltimore. The idea is for the riders to raise money for Moveable Feast through sponsorships of individual riders.
Originally founded as an organization to help deliver meals to those in need who were stricken with breast cancer, Moveable Feast has morphed into a non-profit dedicated to the delivery of meals for medical shut-ins, including those suffering with AIDS, cancer and all sorts of other debilitating diseases.
Marketing for the event was almost entirely driven by the nearly-300 individuals who accepted the challenge of raising funds as well as making the 140-mile trip. One day after the event ended (according to their website) they'd raised nearly $600,000 of a $650,000 goal. That's a far cry from the $30,000 the first group raised in 2002 when a dozen riders decided to make a difference. It's the kind of growth that social media has made possible, especially when it's driven by a committed group that believes in the cause.

A while back I reviewed the iBuzz2 and wasn't all that impressed by it. I really like the idea, and I was impressed by the technology, but it just wasn't the toy for me. I jumped at the opportunity to try out the new Naughtibod, from the same people that make the Ohmibod. This is another toy that you hook into your mp3 player that syncs with the music. It is a slimline style vibe with gentle curves that fit just right about everywhere I put the vibe. There is a cord that you plug into the jack on your mp3 player, and that plugs into the vibe and your headphones. You can plug the Naughtibod in to anything with a headphone jack. It also comes with an additional end cap so that you can use it without hooking it up to your mp3 player.
This is a very attractive vibe, very well made, and the vibration is strong. The volume setting on your mp3 player adjusts the strength of vibration, just like the iBuzz2. I am not so fond of this feature because my cunt and ears work on very different scales. I don't like loud music, but I do like strong vibration. I had it up to the volume level that I use to drown out the subway noise, which is way too loud for listening in my bedroom. I ended up only wearing one earbud so that I wouldn't go crazy from the volume.
The Naughtibod worked well on my clit and inserted. It's not quite a g-spot vibe, but if you really tried you could make it work. I don't think it would work well as an anal vibe because the base isn't wide enough to use safely in your ass. Overall I was very happy with the vibrator. It doesn't have a lot of different programs like the iBuzz does, but it does vibrate with the music well. However, and I don't know if this is just me using a Zune, the Naughtibod totally distorted the sound of my music. I'll need to give it another try with my iPhone, but the distorted music really ruined the mood for me. It's an excellent vibe, but distorting the sound is a deal breaker for me.
So I'm going to give it another try with the iPhone and post my video review soon.

Sapphire helps Roxxie try out the Njoy Fun Wand. She uses the heavy stainless steel toy on Roxxie's ass while Roxxie gets off with a Pocket Rocket. 6:51 min. video
I'm really kind of lazy when it comes to masturbation. I like a toy that will do the work for me. I can't be bothered to fuck myself with a dildo, or even rock against a g-spot toy. If I wanted to do a lot of work I would get my partner! I'm usually not even out of bed yet in the morning when I masturbate, so the less effort I have to make to orgasm, the better.
I have been searching for this ideal toy that will do all the work for me, and I've found a lot of good toys but none that really got close until now. The Jollie dildo looks strange, and I was skeptical about it myself, but it just might be as close as I can get to a toy that does it all.
According to the box, Jollie delivers pleasure three ways. The large bump on the end is the cervix pressure point and is intended to give a full feeling when inserted. The bump in the middle hits the g-spot, and the handle has ridges and hits the clit. The box even has a little illustrated diagram of female anatomy showing how the Jollie dildo hits all the important spots.
I normally wouldn't choose such a large toy for myself, but I'm glad I did because this thing is amazing! I had to get myself warmed up a bit with my vibrator first and use lots of lube. It felt like a huge stretch going in, but once it was in place it was more comfortable. I did get a "full feeling� and I could feel the pressure on my g-spot. It really isn't the kind of dildo that you can easily fuck yourself with. It feels good to grind against it, and even better to use your Hitachi Wand or Wahl or other strong vibrator on it. When I put the Hitachi Wand on the end, oh my god! The world began to spin. It vibrated the dildo on my g-spot and on my clit. This is so much better than the rabbit-style vibes. For one, I like the larger feeling of this dildo. The rabbit style vibes just don't seem to provide that larger size feeling. I also like that I can just insert the Jollie dildo and go with the Hitachi Wand rather than having to rock or move the rabbit style vibe. I've also been disappointed in the amount of pressure or sensation on the g-spot that you get from the rabbit style vibes. Because Jollie specifically puts pressure on the g-spot to begin with, I can get a much better sensation on my g-spot when I vibrate Jollie. I think Jollie does a much better job on the g-spot than the other Hitachi g-spot attachments. I really can't wait to introduce my girlfriend to this one.
Well, I managed to throw off my sensitivity to vibrators with the Hitachi Wand. At least I suspect that's what happened. I'm enjoying all these toys but they're just not getting me off. It isn't fair to write a bad review because my button isn't functioning correctly. I'm going off the Hitachi Wand for a while, but in the meantime I'm going to post some of my preliminary reviews.
The Odyssey Tickler is one that I've been eyeing lustfully lately. It looks a lot like the Nubby G, but without the g-spot curve. You might not have noticed that the Odyssey Tickler's ticklers are pointed in a different direction than the Nubby G's nubs. I found the placement and direction of the ticklers to be far more effective than the nubs. FAR more effective. That small difference makes all the difference for me.
The Odyssey Tickler is easy to use and it is very easy to insert the batteries. I don't know about the rest of you, but I need a toy to have a simple, easy to open and close design. Small design elements can really make a toy worth the extra money. To open the battery case you screw off the end. Inside is this little battery holder piece that guarantees that your batteries go in the right way and stay there. If the battery holder does not slide back in easily, it needs to turn a different direction or flip upside down. Don't force the battery holder back in. It will slide in easily when it is oriented correctly. The batteries stay in place and won't move around during play.
The toy switches on and off with a click button on the end. Click through three different vibration speeds. The vibration isn't exceptionally intense, but the motor is strong and it will last all night. This is a great first time vibe or a great toy for couples. It can be used to tease or it can be used for g-spot play. It is waterproof so take it in the shower or to the hot tub.
I finally had a chance to try out the Smart Balls and I love them. The toy is what looks like two large balls connected by a flexible piece with a looped cord on one end. The balls are weighted, so when you shake them you can hear and feel the weight move inside. The balls are 1.5 inches in diameter, which is a good size for me. The length of the toy, 4 inches, is really perfect for me because I prefer sensations lower in my vagina. Smart Balls are not at like a dildo. They offer a more subtle sensation that is different from normal penetration. They are good for Kegel muscle exercise.
All this time I've been confusing the Hitachi dildo attachment toy that we have, the Gee Whiz, with the G-Spotter . I figured they were probably about the same, they're both Hitachi attachments intended to stimulate the g-spot. I recently had a chance to use the G-Spotter, and let me tell you, they are a world apart!
First of all the Gee Whiz is silicone and the G-Spotter is vinyl. Recently concerns have been raised about the safety of vinyl products because of their PVC content. After the jelly rubber scare, I'm a bit cautious. There is also a considerable difference in size. The Gee Whiz is about the same size as the dildos I usually use, 5″ long and 1-1/2″ in diameter. The G-Spotter does not feel or look like a dildo at all without a bulbous head and at only 4″ long and 1-1/8″ in diameter. The difference may seem small when you look at the numbers, but it feels like the difference between dildo/penis penetration and finger penetration. I was not at all impressed with the G-Spotter, and it wasn't long enough to reach my g-spot anyway.
If you did not like the Gee Whiz you may prefer the G-Spotter. You are not likely to notice any vibration near your ass with the G-Spotter, like Chrissy did when she used the G-Whiz. The G-Spotter is also only $16 while the Gee Whiz is $52. I think it is worth the extra money for the Gee Whiz, but your mileage may vary.
Roxxie toys with naughty Fushia. When Roxxie pulls out the bondage tape Fushia resists, but not too much. With Fushia bound, Roxxie can have her way! 7:00 min. video.
Name of Product: Bondage Tape
Product Description: Shiny PVC tape only sticks to itself, does not pull hair or leave any sticky residue. Pleasure Tape can be used to bind, gag, blindfold, or dress the object of your affection. 65ft per roll. 2″ wide.
Price (approximate): $7.95

Comfortable and strong, this bondage tape holds a woman tight, but can be easily cut off in an emergency. It's inexpensive and disposable, so less of a mess and no piles of tangled rope all over. It looks really hot and can be used as "clothing" and then cut off at the appropriate moment.
I love the Aqua Wand. It's a pretty simple vibe, that's sexy looking and runs for ever. It's like a more attractive Pocket Rocket, and it's waterproof.
I reviewed it a while back HERE, and Fleshbot also did a review HERE.
Right now you can Aqua Wand with an $80 purchase at Babeland! I'm sure you'll have no problem finding $80 of toys that you want. If you need suggestions I would be more than happy to help!

Name of Product: Zeus Beginner E-Stim Kit
Product Description: Designed to send electrical impulses to terminals and attachable toys placed on the body, easy to use rotary controls deliver the pulse amplitude and rate of your choice. Uses a 9Volt battery. Includes 4 Adhesive Pads, Instructions, Sex Clamps, Power Unit, 2 Sets of Lead Wires.
Price (approximate): $110.00
Where purchased: eXtreme Restraints
Overall recommendation:
This is a fantastic kit with everything you need to start playing with electrical stimulation. The power box controls are easy to use and allows you to play with a really wide rage of shock strengths. This toy is completely safe to use and can give you pleasure or pain. The electrosex clamps are my favorite because they're so easy to use and clean. I haven't had much luck with the adhesive pads, because I got frustrated when they wouldn't stick to my unshaved pussy. I'll have to shave and try again.
Fushia brings home a new toy to experiment with, an electrical play toy! She puts Roxxie in spreader bar bondage to make sure that she sits still, and hooks up the little clips to Roxxie's labia. Then she experiments with sending electrical current through Roxxie's pussy. 5:34 min. video
Name of Product: Easy Access Neoprene Restraint System
Product Description: comfortable, versatile and inexpensive, the cuffs are heavy duty nylon on the outside, yet comfortable neoprene on the inside. The spreader mid-section is rigid, made of nylon with a reinforced bar underneath. The cuffs are heavy duty Velcro.
Price (approximate): $40.00
Where purchased: eXtreme Restraints
Overall recommendation:
Easy to use, safe and comfortable on the skin. This spreader bar gives easy access to all the goods, and is very secure. Lightweight neoprene is less expensive than leather and vegan. Domme approved! I'm normally not much of a submissive, but I will be using this often on my submissive grrls.
When Fushia and I were planning our last shoot together I mentioned wanting to test out some new toys with her. I wanted to put her in the Easy Access Restraint System. It makes doggie-style look so very yummy. I ended up going into it myself! It wasn't quite what I imagined it to be in that first test, but it is a very versatile toy so I'll be giving it a lot more use.
The Easy Access Restraint System is a nylon and Velcro spreader bar, reinforced so that the bar doesn't bend. I chose it because I wanted something that was going to be comfortable and not made from leather. Even though it's only nylon and Velcro, it's really sturdy and secure. This is a very well made toy that will restrain the most hardcore bottom. You don't need leather to have fun, and you certainly don't need to drop a ton of money for a leather toy. You can't very well get yourself out of the wrist cuffs on your own, and kicking against the ankle cuffs is just going to make you tired. It's also a very lightweight, so if you're already burdened with a heavy toy bag this won't weigh you down. It's not very long either, so it should fit in your toybag nicely.
I am not particularly flexible in the legs, so I had a hard time staying in the standing doggie-style position while restrained. The ankle cuffs can be adjusted to sit higher on the legs and just below the knee if you need. I also had a hard time holding my position while on my back while restrained. I was hoping that the Easy Access Restraint System would help me hold these positions, but it really didn't. I can say that it really does force the restrained individual into position. I look forward to experimenting with other positions that might work better for me, and also putting some differently sized and more flexible ladies into the Easy Access Restraint System.
…and the video of Fushia and I is still in the video editing queue.

College Hockey:Todd's two power-play goals lead 'all business' Merrimack past Maine
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — Merrimack dominated Maine, 6-2, seizing a 2-0 first-period lead before expanding it to 4-0 in the second and putting the game away after a brief Black Bears rally.
With the win, the Warriors drew to within a point of second-place Boston College while holding two games in hand.
Jesse Todd scored power-play goals just five and six seconds into two man advantages and Karl Stollery added a third to beat Maine at its own game. The Black Bears had entered the contest clearly atop Hockey East and third in the nation with a 27.8 percent conversion rate.
Joe Cannata stopped 24 of 26 shots while lifting his record to 11-4-4.
"I thought we came out ready to play," Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy said. "We're all business. I thought we did a good job with that, not getting too high. We just kept plugging away."
Ryan Flanigan recorded a career-best four points, all on assists.
"We really came out flying," Flanigan said. "Guys are working harder away from the puck and making quicker plays when they're holding onto the puck."
Maine entered the contest with a four straight wins and eight in its last nine games, but lost in almost every category of play: even strength, special teams and goaltending.
"We got out-competed, plain and simple," Maine coach Tim Whitehead said. "Merrimack won the loose pucks, they blocked the shots, and they stuck to their game plan. It was a very strong win for them and they deserved it.
"I was not pleased with how we played and to give up three goals on the man advantage is just unacceptable."
Though Merrimack didn't score its first power-play goal until it already held a 3-0 lead, the special teams dominance still took the starch out of any Maine comeback attempt. Todd's goals, which owed a debt to screens by Kyle Singleton, also exposed problems with the Black Bear penalty kill.
"We lost the faceoffs clean, and then we didn't block the shot," Whitehead said. "You can't lose draws that clean, especially on the penalty kill, and you've got to block some shots."
From Merrimack's perspective, it was all according to plan.
"We noticed that they sometimes like to push it on the penalty kill and pressure our points really hard," Todd said. "So we took advantage of that with a few plays we drew up in the dressing room."
Maine opened the first period with the better chances until Merrimack jumped in front on a two-on-one goal by Carter Madsen from Elliott Sheen.
Jordan Heywood followed that at the eight-minute mark with a goal from the high slot, following the play as a trailer and capitalizing on a pass from Sheen.
The period ended with the Warriors still holding the 2-0 lead thanks to Cannata's save on a Joey Diamond breakaway in the closing minutes.
Merrimack broke the game open in the second period. Kyle Bigos scored from the right point thanks to a screen that prevented Maine goaltender Dan Sullivan from ever seeing the puck. That tally came barely more than a minute into the period.
Six minutes later, Todd scored just five seconds into a power play, only the second of the game, giving the Warriors a 4-0 lead. Singleton didn't show up in the official scoring but provided the all-important screen in front.
Maine briefly rallied with two goals in the span of four minutes. Freshman John Parker scored his first goal on the power play, converting from the low right side immediately after the Black Bears' top unit failed to connect on passes back to the point.
Spencer Abbott then made it 4-2 at 13:30 on a great rush down the left side, getting a half step on Bigos, then cutting across and deking Cannata.
The narrowed margin proved short-lived.
Shortly after a Black Bear three-on-one fizzled, Merrimack reestablished the three-goal lead on another Todd power play goal, a near carbon copy of his previous one except that this came six, not five, seconds into the advantage.
A five-minute major on Bigos gave Maine brief life in the third period even though the first two minutes would be played four-on-four, but another penalty instead gave the Warriors a four-on-three opportunity they converted for the final margin.

How To: Find Your Signature Scent
Page 1 of 2In your quest to find your signature scent, keep in mind that it is just as important to your outward style as having tailored clothes and pairing the correct tie with the appropriate shirt. However, most men simply wear a scent that was given to them as a gift or bought hastily from a cute sales girl offering tote bags and beach towels at a department store. This results in a lot of men wearing copious amounts of tobacco- and coriander-laced colognes that don't mix well with their natural pheromones. To find your signature scent, you'll have to do a little research, but the results usually pay off in spades when you find the right fragrance.
Before you make the mistake of using the same cologne your dad used, let us help you figure out how to find your signature scent.
Figure out your skin typeThe first step in knowing how to find your signature scent is to understand what type of skin you have — whether it's oily or dry.
Oily skin tonesJust as body hair keeps the scent of a cologne close to you, oily skin enhances and amplifies your cologne. Moist and oily skin responds best to a lighter citrus-based scent because these elements help to balance out the stronger natural odors that your skin is secreting. Stay with airy or "summertime" scents for a fresher feeling.
Try these signature scents:
Miller Harris Coeur D'Ete - $140 at SaksFifthAvenue.com
Ermenegildo Zegna Essanza Di Zegna - $62 at SaksFifthAvenue.com
Dry skin tonesCologne needs something to adhere to, and dry or sensitive skin does not hold a scent as long as oily skin. Contrary to popular belief, putting on more of any scent is not the answer. Instead, try heavier or thicker scents with undertones of tobacco and musk; these have a greater presence and will stay with you longer than a lighter fragrance.
Try these signature scents:
Kiton Black - $65 SaksFifthAvenue.com.
Lalique Encre Noire - $105 at SaksFifthAvenue.com.
Take your lifestyle into accountChoosing the right scent is not always about what smells good in a magazine. You also have to consider your lifestyle to narrow down your options as you try to find your signature scent. For example, do you prefer spicy foods? Do you consume large amounts of alcohol regularly or do you smoke? What you ingest comes to the surface of your skin in perspiration, blending with the cologne you wear and adds to the fragrance that swirls around you.
We have a few more tips to help you find your signature scent…

In Connecticut, Richard Prince has close to 8,000 people who have signed a petition asking Gary Brunoli, Fire Chief and other Torrington governmental officials to terminate Prince's 24-year career as a firefighter after he posted graphic violent comments encouraging animal cruelty on Facebook.
On Tuesday, Fire Chief Gary Brunoli announced that Prince was no longer Deputy Fire Marshall and had been demoted resulting in a $10,000 annual pay cut.
On a Facebook page called, The Pit bull Propaganda Machine Revealed, pit bulls are described as the world's most dangerous dogs. In November, Prince posted comments about what could be done to get rid of the dogs and kill them; readers found such postings outrageous. A firestorm of angry animal lovers demanded Prince be fired following such comments as:
"You may be able to take the dogs eyesight away, by wrapping duct tape around his head and eyes. Using a screwdriver of another tool may give you a chance to blind the mutant... A chainsaw would be messy but effective."
More of Prince's comments can be read by clicking here. Please be warned much of the conversation is extremely graphic and may not be suitable for all readers.
Since then a firestorm of indignation and accusations of extreme animal cruelty have continued to follow Prince.
According to wfsb.com, Chief Brunoli acknowledged Prince's comments went too far, and he violated city procedure:
"Per our investigation, we found out that he violated city policy by using city equipment, city phone, city time to do his posting for some of it."
Chief Brunoli stated Prince had been demoted in December; also citing conduct unbecoming to a fire officer and the failure to follow police procedure.
Citizens state they are worried that the stickers they have posted on their windows alerting firemen to pets in their homes needing to be rescued in case of fire, may cause a family's pit bull breed be left to perish.

Exploration group Falkland Oil & Gas one of four UK companies drilling for oil and gas around the islands saw its shares halve in value after a disappointing update on its operations in the South Atlantic.
Its AIM-listed shares fell to an all-time low of 32p after the company said that gas reservoirs it drilled were of poor quality and that the results indicated that there was only low permeability.
Sam Wahab, at Seymour Pierce, said that the much anticipated well results come as a disappointment for investors in the company, following its finding of gas at the Loligo prospect in September.
Despite the disappointing report Falklands chief executive, Tim Bushell, said: "During 2012 we have drilled two encouraging wells, both of which found hyrdro carbons and were completed safely and within budget. They reinforce our confidence in the potential of the basin."
So from the current low now, is it safe to assume that the share prices will bounce back next year?

While most people may know her as the sister of Demi Lovato, Dallas Lovato has been quietly making a name for herself as a voice actress, and her most recent role is that of Lamb Chop in the new Lionsgate sequel, Wings: Sky Force Heroes. The follow-up to 2012's Wings, the flick sees firefighting plane Ace (voiced by Josh Duhamel) return to join a cast of characters for further high-flying adventures. Before the film hit DVD last week, we sat down with Dallas to talk about being a part of it and her collaboration with director Mychal Simka.
"The process for me is completely different," she told us. "I was not in the first movie, so I kind of wanted to know a little bit about it. Typically, whenever I book a sequel or whatever, I don't like to know anything. If I really connect with the project, I don't want to know.
"I was obsessed with Desperate Housewives, and my little sister Madison [de la Garza] plays Eva Longoria's daughter [Juanita]. When she ended up booking it, my mom wanted me to be her coach...and I did not want to see what happened!" she laughed. "I like to be surprised too. Part of the fun of the project is being surprised. However, since I wasn't in the first [Wings], it was necessary for me to do my research."
Sky Force Heroes re-teamed Dallas with Simka, with whom she'd previously worked on two other animated features, Birds of Paradise and Snowflake, The White Gorilla. "Mychal and I have a very awesome working relationship," Dallas enthused. "I've done a lot of voice acting, throughout when I first started acting. I kind of took a break from that for awhile, because I was focusing on live action. It just so happened that when I was getting back into voice-overs, my agent called me and said I have a direct offer from Mychal.
"The projects that I work on with Mychal vary from every role I've done before," she continued. "Mychal has a very unique approach to working with his actors. He gives us the reins, puts us in complete creative control, and helps guide us...After he saw that he and I worked really well together, now he'll just call me. He'll be like 'I need you to do another movie, can you be at my studio at 10 AM?' And I'll say 'Okay.' I won't know what character I'm doing, what my lines are, or what the movie is about until I get into the booth and put on the headphones.
"What's awesome is a lot of times, we'll have a set script," Dallas added. "However, because he trusts his actors completely, we'll get in the studio and he'll be like, 'Say what you want to say,' and the scene will turn out completely different. It's really, really unique."
Dallas's enthusiasm for acting in any shape or form is evident not only in her performances, but in her work off-camera, too. She's devoted to helping other aspiring actors get the most out of their careers. "I'm an acting coach and I have been for a couple years now," she told us. "My passion is voice acting and acting coaching. It's cool to be able to be a voice actor and also be able to teach and spread the knowledge that I've learned to help other people. I love helping people get their big break."
It's somewhat amusing that her most recent role is in a movie about planes, because until recently, she wasn't that fond of them. "For a really long time I was terrified of flying on planes," Dallas laughed. "However, since my family has become more successful throughout the years and had the opportunity to go all kinds of places, it doesn't bother me. I'm actually getting on a plane tomorrow to go to Austin for my best friend's birthday!"
She'll likely be on the go even more in the future. With her energy both on and off-screen, the sky's the limit for this talented actress.
Wings: Sky Force Heroes is now available on demand and on DVD. For more with Dallas, you can follow her on Twitter (@DallasLovato).

Holtby getting plenty of help
Saturday, 05.05.2012 / 4:53 PM | John Kreiser - NHL.com Columnist
Washington goaltender
Braden Holtby
had to face only 20 shots in the Capitals' 3-2 win in Game 4 on Saturday afternoon. For that, he can thank the other 18 guys in the red sweaters.
While the Rangers managed to get just 20 shots on goal, Holtby's teammates blocked 26 others -- exactly half of New York's total of 52 attempted shots. The Caps did a better job of getting their shots through to the net; Washington attempted just 40 shots, but 26 of them got to
Henrik Lundqvist
-- and three of them went into the net.
The Rangers blocked just seven shots on Saturday after getting in front of 41 during Game 3. They had blocked 14 in each of the first two games.
Big Three reunited -- The combination of
Alex Ovechkin
Nicklas Backstrom
Mike Green
made the
Washington Capitals
the NHL's most dangerous offensive team for a couple of seasons. But injuries and tighter defensive play have cut down on the offensive production from Washington's three stars.
However, all three came through with goals in the Caps' 3-2 win on Saturday. How unusual was having all three players turn on the red light? It hadn't happened since Oct. 30, 2010, when they all scored (Ovechkin did it twice) in Washington's 7-2 victory at Calgary.
No carryover -- So much for a big emotional lift after a three-overtime win.
The Rangers and Capitals are headed back to the Big Apple all even in their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series after the Caps' 3-2 victory in Game 4. The game started about 60 hours after the Rangers' 2-1 triple-overtime victory in a game that didn't end until the early hours of Thursday morning.
Of the last four teams to win a triple-overtime game, just one -- the
Anaheim Ducks
against Detroit in 2009 -- were able to win the next game. Before this spring, the last three teams to win in triple overtime wound up losing the series.
The win gave the Caps a 3-0 record this spring in the game after an overtime loss. Since 2010, they are 7-3 in the game after an overtime game.
Playing tight -- The Capitals continue to play on the edge. Saturday's game was the 10th in 11 playoff contests to be decided by a single goal (the other was a 3-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 1).
Another indication of how close Washington's games have been: The Caps have been tied after the second period eight times in 11 games -- they've led in the other three and haven't trailed after 40 minutes. Washington is 3-5 in those eight games, though they did beat the Rangers on Saturday in a game that was tied 2-2 after two periods.
Who needs faceoffs? -- Yes, it's a small sample size -- less than a month of playoffs, rather than a full 82-game season. But the ability to win faceoffs hasn't had much to do with success this spring.
With the playoffs now 62 games old, the three weakest teams in the circle -- Los Angeles (47.6 percent), the Rangers (47.0) and New Jersey (46.4) -- are still going strong. The three teams with the best percentages, Florida (54.4 percent), Ottawa (54.4) and Pittsburgh (51.9) didn't make it out of the first round.
The Kings (51.5 percent during the regular season) and Rangers (50.0 percent) may be having temporary slumps. The Devils' problems are something else -- New Jersey was 29th in the faceoff circle during the regular season at 47.1 percent and was the only one of the six teams that won less than 48 percent of its draws to make the playoffs.
