What a wild week for the WWE! I love this time of the year in wrestling, the Royal Rumble is my favorite PPV, and has been for as long as I can remember. To me it's more interesting, creative and exciting than WrestleMania, and I feel lucky that I was able to attend a Royal Rumble in the past. It not only was a great night to cross off certain wrestlers I've always wanted to see, but I was able to see both Booker T and Nash return to the WWE. It also didn't hurt that I picked the winner of that Royal Rumble Match. Yeah, I know, but I'm still terribly proud of that predict.
I know I said last week that this would not be late again, but Sam has been sick since just after Christmas, just returned to school today – and that was iffy – but before she did, she passed on whatever it is she has. I got a flu shot, and made sure everyone else in the house got one as well as with Crohn's Disease, I'm on a pill form of chemo, and a doubled dose immunomodulators. Basically I'm saying if it's possible to catch something, I will be the one to get it. I wrote ¾ of this before I went to bed last night, but I staggered off to bed before 9PM, because I just couldn't stay vertical any longer. From here on out if I don't get this up on Tuesday, I will send off all I have to either Jesse, Mayo, Brooks, Alex, even Ric or Richard to polish up and get posted for me. It's important to me that the RIB gets out on Tuesdays, and I know there are certain readers who love it (Mayo, I'm specifically looking at you).
RAW Starts
Video > B+
I love Bray Wyatt on mic. He might not be the best in the ring – not bad, just not great – but his character and his mic work are his money. When I saw him in that 40 Man Royal Rumble Match, he scared me because he was so excited that his ring work was extremely reckless, and actually quite dangerous. It was right after that when Orton punted his head off and Husky Harris went back for more training and repackaging. Anyway, I thought this was a great way to start RAW, not an expected way to start the show.
Bray & Bryan vs Usos > B-
I wasn't really impressed with the work in this match. I expect so much more from the Usos and Bryan in the ring, and this match fell flat. I was thrilled to see wrestling start the show, and I'll admit that it's a selfish reason – it's hard on my emotions when I'm behind with the RAW Results from the first segment, and talking always sets me back, but wrestling doesn't. Sadly this wasn't the best match to start the show, but they made up for it in a HUGE way to end the show, so while the grade is crappy, their later grade more than makes up for it.
Winners – Usos via DQ (5:37)
Sandow vs Cena > B+
I am thoroughly enjoying Sandow's changed up character. Since he cashed in against Cena, Sandow has been a new man, both in the ring, on mic, and his charisma. He's vicious, stronger, and really showing what he can do in the ring. Prior to cashing in, he was becoming somewhat boring and predictable in the ring, but since then most of his matches have been B+ or better. Even his gimmick matches with Ziggler left me giddy. I was worried that Sandow might get pushed aside a bit with his former partner now being TTC with his brother, especially after losing his MITB cash-in, but it seems to me, after putting him in this match with Cena, Sandow might be heading into a push, and possibly a spot in an Elimination Chamber Match, or something else solid going forward toward WrestleMania.
Winner – Cena (10:26)
Announce Segment > B+
I expected them to talk about the WWE Network, and King not being on Old School RAW last week, but I didn't expect to see King dressed Old School this week. Sam thought it was great that he was wearing what she thought he'd have worn last week, but she adores King, and loves flashy clothing. I thought he looked great in his snazzy shirt, and quite healthy. Even though I knew he was okay, seeing him put my worries to rest.
Backstage Segment > B
I've been wondering if this new character for Kane is a way to ease him into more of an acting role, a way to save his body for bigger matches. While Kane's body might not be as beaten up at Taker's, but he is 46, will be 47 in April, and if there's any chance I'm going to get my dream match – Taker vs Kane at WrestleMania (someday, I hope it happens, as Taker's final WrestleMania moment, possibly 25-0?) – I'd hope that they'd be the best shape possible. Then again, I hope that for them at any time. Stacy actually noticed that Kane seemed to be limping a bit more than normal as he headed to the ring to chain the door shut for the main event. It's hard to say if Kane's dealing with health issues that are keeping him out of the ring, but his work as an executive is further showing what a fascinating and talented man Glenn Jacobs really is.
Big Show vs Swagger > B&A-
Solid squash match to set up for Big Show facing Brock at Royal Rumble, and since it was Swagger, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! I'm glad, as I'm sure most are, that it wasn't Cesaro who was getting slapped around in the ring, and further hope that Cesaro moves off on his own soon as Swagger is holding Cesaro back in a huge way.
I know a lot of people, myself included, really have issue with older non-wrestlers taking bumps in the ring. It always upset me when JR (specifically), or Justin, or even Coach, though rarely Cole (he's followed Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Steve Forbe and Bob Dole on their presidential trails, reported on the 51 day siege at the Branch Dividian Compound, the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, and spent nine months overseas covering the Yugoslavian Civil War – I've never thought of Cole as a wimp). But I think of Zeb Colter (aka Dutch Mantel, aka Unkle Zebekiah, born as Wayne Keown) as one of the toughest men in the industry. He might be 64, and started in the wrestling industry as Dirty Dutch Mantel before I was born, but he's one of the toughest men in the industry, and has a brilliant wrestling mind – right up there with McMahon, Heyman, and Bisch. He would not have been in that segment if he didn't think he could handle it, and I thought he handled it beautifully. Zeb might been known for being instrumental in the start of careers such as Sting, Ultimate Warrior, Taker and Kane, but he's also one of the best managers ever, though I've never thought about his facial expressions and his ability to sell, and it was sell he did in this segment. I'm very impressed with his facial expressions and how he handled himself with the biggest man in the WWE. Zeb deserves the grade I gave for his part of this match/segment.
Winner – Big Show (1:16)
Videos > B
While I'm not a big fans of Batista, I can understand why they're bringing him me, though I think there's a number of other former Superstars who I think would have been much stronger going into WrestleMania. Batista will turn 45 two days before his debut back with the WWE, so he's an older wrestler, but he started older than many. I'll stop here because there's so much I have to say about Batista and his return, but Justin Mayo and I are working on an article that will be posted on WWENews.net before Batista debuts next week.
New Age Outlaws & Punk vs The Shield > B+
It's about time! I love the New Age Outlaws, and JBL was right, someone forgot to tell Billy Gunn to age these past 10+ years! He's more than gotten past Cute Kip for me, and he's stepped back in as quite a force to be reckoned with. I'm very excited to see what Gunn and Dogg will do in the ring with The Brotherhood. Strange to think that Cody is the baby in that match – quite a throwback! Honestly, it didn't make a lot of sense that the New Age Outlaws were running as faces while their 'leaders' from back in the McMahon/Helmsley Era are heels running the show. Heck, even HBK is toeing the line of being a heel again, something I never thought would be possible- but with Bryan as over as he is, it does make sense.
So, on top of fantastic ring work from all involved, the New Age Outlaws finally turned and went heels, as they should be. Seems to me that this would have been the match of the night, if not for the main event. The ring work from Punk and The Shield, specifically, was fantastic, and the storyline direction just made it all that much better. What I don't understand (and I have to thank the WNW RAW Open Thread for confirming this for me) is why a group of male fans were chanting, "You can't wrestle!" when Rollins was in the ring. At first I thought I was hearing things, but they chanted it each time he was in, and the commenters confirmed it for me. Thoughts?
Winners – The Shield (15:37)
Backstage Segment > B+
Again, Bray is fantastic in character and on mic. Watching this segment, I had no inkling of what was to come between The Wyatt Family later in the show. That Bryan seemed so wonderfully committed to The Wyatt Family an this point made what happened later in the show so much more shocking.
Dactyls vs AJ & Tamina > D+
What a bloody mess! Why book Cameron to take the brunt of a match when someone like Naomi is tagging with her? I know it looked great to have Naomi make the save, but it made the match just horrid. I understand having Tamina as AJ's heavy, but I'd like to see more of AJ in the ring, showing her skills. The only really great thing about this match was after the match ended and Naomi showed her skills. I'd love to see Naomi go after AJ's Divas Title soon.
Winners – AJ & Tamina (2:50)
Backstage Segments > B-
This segment didn't seem like much of a stretch from what I think of Orton when he's pissed off in real life, but I've never been a big fan of his boyish charms. I find it interesting, almost as if Orton and Kofi are coming full circle with this match Kane proposed.
HOF Video > A-
I thought it was a solid video for Ultimate Warrior, though I have to admit that I had troubles paying attention to it because I was (still am) rather disgusted that Warrior is the first person announced for the Class of 2014 HOF. There's a long list of legendary wrestlers, managers and Divas who are much more deserving of being inducted into the WWE HOF, but as we try to keep things clean here on WNW, I'm going to stop here. I'm not sure I can get my full feelings out without letting the cuss words fly. What I will say is that Paul Bearer should have been the first name announced this year, and leave it at that.
Backstage Segment > A
Heyman is one of the best talkers in the WWE right now, and this segment shows just why. Personally, I think, "It's a little known fact that the surgical removal of the pituitary gland to offset the onslaught of acromegaly can lead to the side effect complication of rampant case of stupidity!" is one of the best crafted phrases we've heard in the WWE in a long time. Also, the title to this RIB is another one of Heyman's wonderfully crafted lines, referring to Big Show going after his client, Brock Lesnar.
Orton vs Kofi > B
I have to say that this wasn't what I expected when I heard Orton was going to be facing Kofi. It wasn't that I was sure Orton was going to win, because I was, it wasn't that I thought that Orton was going to continue to destroy Kofi, which I was sure of that too. It was that I didn't want to watch Orton and his ego yet again. I'm burnt out on Orton. I know most of us get burnt out on Cena, and I've been there as well, but right now all I can see is the bad, boring, and bias.
As much as I've stood behind Kofi through they years, and especially when Orton went out of his way to hurt Kofi's career after what was a fantastic match between the two at MSG, his character and ring work has become predictable and rather boring as well. I think if he had something to strive for, his work would improve, but he's been stuck in mid-card purgatory for so long that it might seem that he will never get out of there. I was going to say that when even Santino surpasses Kofi to get into an Elimination Chamber Match, but I did the research to not screw it up, and Kofi was in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match in 2012, the same year Santino was in the WHC Elimination Chamber Match. Yet it still seems like Santino gets booked in better matches than Kofi, most of the time, and Santino isn't allowed to show his serious ring skills most of the time. Maybe I'm digging deeper into a serious problem in the WWE than I have the time here. Do you understand where I'm going with this, and why I'm having such issue with Orton and Kofi right now? I'd love to talk this out with someone as I know there's a great article here, but it's just not coming to me at the moment.
Either way, I was shocked and thrilled to see Kofi come out on top of this one. I didn't understand why Kofi went over until the following segment.
Winner – Kofi (16:46)
Ringside Segment > A-
I absolutely had to split this off from the actual match, and thought it was better handled than the actual match. I'm a huge fan of Mr. Cena Sr. I met him for the first time at least three years ago. He impressed me with his knowledge of the industry, and that he wasn't floating on his son's jorts, quite the opposite, he's been in the local wrestling industry for many years as Johnny Fabulous. The first time I saw him, I didn't even know he was Cena's father, and that impressed me that much more. I once went to a very small indy wrestling show in Saco, Maine, the city I grew up in. Cousin Larry, and Tony Atlas were also there, as they're at most of the local shows and other events I attend (check out the picture of Tony, Larry and Rikishi in last week's RIB). That specific show had quite a few young children running rampant, and no barricades around the ring. The children mobbed Tony, as he's a beloved member of our local wrestling scene, but they were not quite as happy with Cena Sr. who was talking smack about Tony. At one point Cena Sr. was in the ring with about thirty kids around the ring, slapping their hands on the apron, and they really wanted to see him taken down for what he said about Tony. Security and the refs got control of the show, and made sure the parents knew that it was not acceptable for their children to corner anyone involved in the show. The look on Cena Sr's face was shock and awe. He knew he wasn't in danger, but he was also in the middle of the ring when these kids circled him.
That was just one moment of Cena Sr's crazy career, and while he didn't take any big bumps that night, there were other nights I saw him take some big bumps – both from Tony and younger wrestlers. When Orton went after Cena Sr., I knew he was selling, but it didn't seem as though the man in the light blue shirt knew what was going on, as he tried to stop Orton a couple times as he went after Cena Sr. I have seen the bumps he's taken, and not just the time Orton punted his head off, and I know he can take bumps with the best of them. I didn't flinch when Zeb was taken down, and I didn't flinch when Cena Sr. was taken down. Both handled their bumps well, as professionals should.
The one thing in this segment that got me was John Cena. I loved the way he ran down the ramp, grabbed the doctor, and made sure the fans all stayed away from Cena Sr., but then he started cussing! Okay, he cut off most of what he said, and none of it was on mic, but it was very clear when Cena said, "Motherfu…!" and "What the fu…!" It was so nice to see squeaky clean, uber corny Cena actually almost drop kayfabe (even though it was all scripted) and say things that he really shouldn't be saying. It's a great step in the right direction for their coming match at Royal Rumble.
The Brotherhood vs RybAxel > B-
I'm not a fan of The Brotherhood facing RybAxel, but the WWE doesn't have a lot of great heel teams for The Brotherhood to face. The Wyatt Family were involved in two matches, and The Shield took out Punk, and The Real Americans dealt with Big Show. Now that New Age Outlaws are heels, and are facing The Brotherhood on Smackdown, I'm so excited, they will be a great team to round out the Tag Division, but that left RybAxel for The Brotherhood. Honestly, I shouldn't be complaining because the fact that the Tag Division is so strong right now, stronger than it's been in over ten years, so I should shut up about it. Also, I have said that I like RybAxel together, in the mid-card, and that's true. I guess there was just so many solid matches on this show, and so many matches that were worth watching that I have to pick on those that were not as great. I do see a good future for RybAxel – if Ryback doesn't get himself sent home for his crappy tweeting. Richard's right, it got people talking about him, and not talking about the stupid things he's said and done recently – the comment about Lilian, and concussing Ziggler – so maybe what he did was smarter than we all give him credit for? Nah!
Winners – The Brotherhood (6:04)
Rey vs ADR > C
I've mentioned before that I have a number of kids, and we recently took in a teenager who is the newest member of our household. Last week, Ashlyn, said something about ADR as he headed to the ring, something that I had planned on including last week, but it just didn't end up happening. When ADR came to the ring, Ashlyn asked why ADR has the scarlet letter on his penis. I honestly had never really thought about the fact that ADR has a big, red letter A on the front of his trunks, but now that she's mentioned it, I can't see anything else. It was like the time Booker T was running around in white trunks with a big red splash of color across his bum. Ellie made a few comments about that, but I'll leave those to your imagination.
What I don't understand is why Rey was booked to go under ADR here. I understand that they're trying to build ADR up for Batista, but where does that leave Rey? Personally, I'm seeing what happened to RVD happening to Rey now. A great wrestler returned to the WWE, it was a wonderful thing until he was so beaten down and lost so much, to ADR, that he's not much of anything right now. I don't understand why both RVD and Rey have to go through this by a man who has proven over and over – and such was even noted upon his most recent return from health issues – that he's phoning things in, and being lazy by avoiding the gym while he was out. I understand the WWE needing a top Mexican wrestler, but I think ADR has more than proven that he's not that wrestler and should be busted back to mid-card purgatory to show that he's not going to get everything handed to him just because of where he was born.
Winner – ADR (4:55)
Backstage Segment > B
Not Punk's best segment, but I love how he spoke about The Authority's hired assassins and now their good friends coming after him. His change in mood over being put into the Royal Rumble Match was interesting, but the best part was him telling Kane that he has a problem with him, and then the glaring. Last year Punk faced Taker at WrestleMania, why not Kane this year? Just a thought.
Cage Match > A-
What a lovely match. From the start I was not impressed. I will admit that. I thought the work was boring, and the Usos are hard to tell apart, so it was hard to figure out who was doing what to who, for how many cookies. But then things started getting interesting. Big moves, valiant escape attempts, and solid work from all four in the ring. I really enjoyed watching the ring work, and how the Usos got the upper hand. It was fantastic to see them take out Rowan and Harper outside the ring as well. It was nice to see a really strong cage match after the ones we've seen from TNA recently. It was also nice to see that none of the participants could squeeze out through the camera holes in the cage!
Winners – Usos (10:52)
In Ring Segment > A+
I was not thrilled with Bryan joining The Wyatt Family, especially when I learned that it wasn't something that had been planned out, and organized for the future. Spur of the moment changes like this are rarely the best, and this one wasn't working for me. Rather than changing how the fans felt about Bryan, it brought the fans over to clap with The Wyatt Family's entrance music, and cheer for them, even though they're supposed to be heels. I don't think that's what the WWE had hoped would happen.
After what we'd been seeing from Bryan with The Wyatt Family, I didn't expect to see Bryan turn on Bray the way he did. I honestly cannot think of a time, in quite a few years, other than the RAW after WrestleMania, when an entire audience came together for one person. I can't say that every person in that arena was on their feet, pointing high, chanting "YES!" "YES!" "YES!" But this was as close as I've seen in a very long time. I didn't think it would be possible for Bryan to be any more over than he already way, but this joining with The Wyatt Family, then turning on them pushed Bryan that much further. I loved the way he unzipped his gray jumper to show his traditional ring gear, after taking Bray down the way he did – specifically bouncing Bray off the side of the ring to knock Rowan down, then to the other side to knock Harper down. Bryan sitting up top of that cage, pointing high, chanting "YES!" "YES!" "YES!" with all those fans, I'm feeling much better about Bryan, the direction of his push, and what might be coming together for him heading down that Road to WrestleMania.
Post RAW
After RAW is over, I always switch over to watch John Stewart, then the Colbert Report. After they were over I saw that a show, hosted by Christ Hardwick (who I absolutely adore from Nerdist, and the times he's had Garfunkle & Oats on Nerdist, and the insane number of times he's hung out with Matt Smith). If you haven't seen At Midnight, you should check it out, but there's a wrestling reason I'm bringing up the show. Hardwick was talking about the WWE Network announcement, "Shit, yeah, America! I don't even need to leave the house!"
So the comedians needed to come up with #WrestlingTVShows.
Harwick gave a few examples – CM Punked, or How I Body Slammed Your Mother, or Hulk Hogan's Heroes.
The following are the titles that the competing comedians offered up for points.
Cristela Alonzo @cristela9 – Jake 'The Snake' And The Fat Man, 6 Million Dollar Macho Man, Remington Steel Cage Match, Owen Hart To Hart
Matt Braunger @Braunger – Jerry Lawler & Order, 2 Men & A Man We Broke In Half!, Broken Spinefeld
Kyle Kinane @kylekinane – Randy Macho Man vs Wild, Brock Lesnar's Tickle Party (not a take on a real show, but Hardwick said he'd watch), Triple H R Puff 'N Stuff
I'm sure if you go to Twitter and put in #WrestlingTVShows you will find more that the fans have added since the show.
One final note, today is Jesse's Birthday, so if you get a chance, make sure you wish him the best.
Queen of WNW

From OALD, entrench is defined as:
to establish something very firmly so that it is very difficult to change
Does establish here means to cause to be accepted or recognized?
Edit: I came across the word from this passage:
Some people feel that this term is a bit negative, given the association with hunting and death, and they prefer more positive twists on the saying. Several organizations have even sponsored contests to come up with a new and more animal-friendly version of "to kill two birds with one stone." However, the idea has become so entrenched in many societies that it is unlikely to fade from usage anytime soon, negative or not.
Note I'm trying to understand the meaning of establish in the definition of entrench and not a clarification of the meaning of entrench.

Make that 14 straight games for Bryce Harper, as the Nationals' No. 1 prospect went 1-for-4 in the Scottsdale Scorpions' 2-0 win last night.
Defensively, Harper remains a work in progress, committing his fourth error (throwing) while making no putouts in left field.
Likewise, the other Nationals position player to appear in the game, Zach Walters, notched his fifth "E" (fielding) but did have an assist while playing third base. At the plate, Walters was 1-for-3 with a walk, pushing his average to .209.
Matt Purke made another scoreless appearance, but labored through a 21-pitch inning to do it. He allowed a hit and a walk and struck out two. The according-to-BA #7 prospect was credited with a hold for his efforts.
2 Responses to "AFL Update: November 9, 2011"
Sue, can you characterize the errors that Harper is making in the outfield a bit better for us, is it that he is not being accurate with his throws? is he throwing to the wrong base? are his infield counterparts not capable of handling his throws? Any insight would help because I think it has been documented that arm strength is not an issue, right?

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 11 July 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590711-TC-JAC-01; CL 35: 144
Humbie, 11 july, 1859—
Dear Brother,
I have lost the curb-chain of my bridle (always losing something!)—I think it must have gone in the swift riding in the Park1 the day before you were here; had I remembered to write to you last night, I might have looked for a new one (3d carriage) tomorrow morning. As it is, I believe you are my promptest chance.— Pray go to our old saddler,2 and state the case. As my bridle is old, quite near its end; you may3 the most secondhand chain he has; otherwise a new one, whh I think costs only a shilling. You can look also at his Bridles, and ask the price:4 I need not take this one back with me.
Jane was twice on her Cuddy yesterday; successful riding,—but, alas, there had been too much of it; for she had no sleep at all thro' the night, and the riding, as I judge, had been to blame for it. She is quite low today (no wonder), and is not intending to stir off the sofa at all. The Misses Welsh5 were here; but I sat close in "the study"6 (lucus a non),7 and saw nobody.— It seems to me we are about to have a great quantity of rain;—I, for my share, must try to lay in some riding, at any rate.
The Saty Review is better worth reading than anything else: thanks for it. There came a Note from Jean,8 indicating some severe disorder in the bowels; still baddish, and "in bed," tho' she professes to be a little better.— No more at prest, dear Brother.
Yours ever affecte /
T. Carlyle

Thanks Again, Kirby!
While rambling around on YouTube the other night, I was reminded that it has been three years since Kirby Puckett passed away (March 6, 2006), so I wanted to post another little tribute to the player who was my baseball hero growing up (hopefully this will become an annual tradition on the date of his sudden passing).
Even though I really wasn't that "into" baseball (I was born in 1985) during the heyday of Puckett's great career, I still give him a lot of credit for fostering my life of the game that still burns within me. I mean, it takes a rare player to captivate an area like Puckett did. Even though I don't think I watched an entire baseball game until about 1996 or so, I have fond memories of Kirby, such as being present when he received the Silver Slugger Award in 1990, or sitting "right above him" in '94-'95 when he was in right field. Like I said, even though my childish interests were more directed at Batman, Superman, and Power Rangers at that time in my life, I was still captivated by Kirby Puckett. The only player the Twins have had even come close to that sort of charisma/recognition is Torii Hunter, but he still wasn't Puck and I think Torii himself would even admit it as such.
To be honest, though, I think the saddest part of Kirby's death three years ago was that he wasn't yet comfortable enough to return to MN after his court trial some years earlier. However, just the fact that Puck was embarrassed about the whole thing tells me that he really wasn't a bad guy…he just made a mistake that, because of his celebrity, got dragged through the mud. Thus, I respect Puck's decision to get away from MN for awhile after that nasty trial, but I truly believe that the community would have welcomed him back at any time. There was just too much to love about Kirby that could not be overshadowed by a couple of undoings, which was proven by the overwhelming tributes after his death.
Here are two tribute videos to Kirby that I found on YouTube that, at least to me, convey the essence of Kirby Puckett:

College Hockey:Bui goal caps rally as Quinnipiac edges Canisius
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — It might have been easy to miss Quinnipiac forward Kevin Bui entering this year. That's not the case anymore.
Bui scored his second clutch goal in the last two weeks, as his third-period strike capped off a late comeback and lifted Quinnipiac to a 4-3 win over Canisius in the opening game of the NCAA East Regional at the Dunkin Donuts Center Saturday night.
2013 NCAA East Regional
Follow all of our coverage from Providence at Regional Central
NCAA tournament page, with bracket
"I've just been trying to work hard in practice and I guess it's paying off right now," said Bui, whose double-overtime goal sent Quinnipiac past Cornell in Game 3 of the ECAC semifinals on March 18. "Guys are competing in practice; we almost had a fight yesterday because we were competing with each other, and that's what makes us better."
Tony Capobianco made 36 saves for Canisius, while Eric Hartzell finished with 20 for the Bobcats, who won their first NCAA game in program history. Quinnipiac's only other appearance came in 2002 a 6-1 loss to Cornell.
"What you saw tonight was not the best defensive hockey team in the country," Bobcats coach Rand Pecknold said. "I didn't think we did a very good job in front of 'Hartzy.'"
But they did mount a comeback.
Matthew Peca slipped a shot over Capobianco's blocker to make it 3-2 at 8:02 of the third, while Jordan Samuels-Thomas' power-play blast from the right circle tied it at 10:42 and set up Bui's game-winner at 14:28.
"It was definitely a tough situation, but I got better because of it," Bui said of sitting out a year. "I sat down with coach and he said he wanted me back and I said I was going to do everything to get back. A few years later, here I am."
Down 1-0 thanks to Connor Jones' goal at 8:43 in the first, the Golden Griffins went ahead with two goals in 44 seconds early in the second period. Stephen Farrell tied it at 4:24, while Patrick Sullivan tipped Duncan McKellar's shot past Hartzell at 5:08.
"We looked like a new team early," said Canisius coach Dave Smith, whose team was making its first NCAA tournament appearance in program history. "I thought with every check, every shot, every first time that we went through something, we settled down, and I thought we came out in the second period and played the way we were playing."
Kyle Gibbons put Canisius up 3-1 at 3:43 in the third, whacking away at the puck near the crease before eventually poking it past Hartzell.
"When we got behind, there wasn't panic — I'm not saying we weren't worried — but there wasn't panic," Pecknold said. "We believed we could come back. We made it 3-2 and I knew we were going to win. And then our bench knew we were going to win."
The Bobcats dominated play in the first period, but Capobianco and the rest of the Canisius defense kept the deficit at one. Quinnipiac appeared to have a goal at 4:34, but it was overturned after the review showed the puck never crossed the goal line.
"We were trying to stay positive," Jones said. "We needed to get more pucks to the net, get more rebounds, and get some more traffic."
Despite the loss, the last few weeks have been a important stretch for Canisius, which won its first Atlantic Hockey league championship and entered Saturday on an eight-game winning streak.
"The things that have happened with our program in terms of people who didn't know who to spell it, didn't know how to pronounce it, didn't know where were, it helps with recruiting and with alumni relations," Smith said. "It helps the spirit on campus. It's a leap forward. It's not a step forward."
Quinnipiac faces the winner of the Union and Boston College game Sunday at 6:30 p.m.

A_FireBullets (angle spread_horz, angle spread_vert, int numbullets, int damage [, string pufftype [,int flags [, float range]]])
Defines a custom hitscan attack for weapons. You have to specify the horizontal and vertical spread, the amount of bullets and the damage per bullet.
The first bullet fired in the Fire (not Hold) sequence normally ignores the spread and is always perfectly accurate. Setting numbullets to a negative value removes this effect.
- flags:
- FBF_EXPLICITANGLE: If set, the horizontal and vertical spread are used as explicitly stated, instead of being used as a range for random spread.
- FBF_USEAMMO: If set, the attack uses ammo. (Set by default.)
- FBF_NOFLASH: If set, the attack does not cause a weapon flash.
- FBF_NOPITCH: If set, the vertical angle is not adjusted to aim at the target.
- FBF_NORANDOM: If set, the damage is not multiplied by 1d3.
- FBF_NORANDOMPUFFZ: If set, the random z offset given to the puff when spawned is disabled.
The damage formula is damage * 1d3 (unless the FBF_NORANDOM flag is set). For example, if damage is 4, the possible results are 4, 8 or 12. The average damage actually dealt by each bullet will therefore be damage * 2.
Optionally you can specify a puff type that is spawned when hitting a wall or a non-bleeding actor. The puff also determines the damage type of the attack.
range specifies the maximum distance of the attack.
When successfully called, the function plays the weapon's AttackSound sound, if present, on the weapon channel (CHAN_WEAPON) with normal attenuation.
Note: This function utilizes Player.AttackZOffset for positioning the origin of the bullet. Use this to adjust the height where bullets come from on the player for accuracy.

Tommy Rydling has provided a new update in regards to the numerous "Battlefield 4" issues. According to a report from BF4 Central on Jan. 10, the product manager at Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment disclosed that the next patch is currently being finalized with an expected release date scheduled for later this month. You can check out the statement below:
Just a short note that we are finalizing the next game update for multiple platforms, aiming to release them later this month.
Tommy Rydling also defended Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment, even though his company has been heavily criticized for the handling of the latest "Battlefield" installment. At the same time, he admitted that "some players are experiencing issues with the game," adding that some platforms may have more problems than others. The product manager finally stated that their first priority is to iron out these bugs. You can find a few "Battlefield 4" screens in the slideshow to the left of this article and the comments below:
We at DICE have a long tradition of supporting our games and our community well after the release of a title. While millions of players are enjoying Battlefield 4, we are aware that some players are experiencing issues with the game. While some platforms have had only minor problems, others have had more than their fair share of issues. Resolving these is our #1 priority.
The next patch will be released for multiple systems although the development team did not provide any more specific details. The PS4 version of "Battlefield 4," which came out on Nov. 15, seems to be suffering the most with several crashes and glitches.
In addition to Sony's next-generation system, the first-person shooter also came out for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The software product was developed from the Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment studio.

A teak desk is a great addition to any office, whether at home or at work. Few other desks combine the style, durability, and function of a genuine teak desk. To begin with, teak is a natural hardwood, which means your teak desk will withstand more use and abuse without damage than just about any other true wood option. Additionally, a teak desk has oils in the wood that keep natural fibers supple so as to resist fraying and splitting. Most unique of all, a real teak desk is naturally resistant to both water exposure and stains, so it requires very little maintenance to keep it in pristine condition. There is no more useful and long-lasting option than a teak desk.

If nothing else, the New Orleans Saints have a lot of bodies to pick from to play receiver for Drew Brees this upcoming season. Of course there Marques Colston and Lance Moore are the top two targets and Joe Morgan proved himself last year as a reliable third receiver.
But who should the Saints fill the fourth receiving spot among a list of mostly unproven players?
This year's fifth-round draft pick, Kenny Stills, seems the likely candidate. But Nick Toon could have a say in the battle, as well.
Also factoring into the equation are players like Saalim Hakim, Jarred Fayson, Chris Givens, Courtney Roby, Preston Parker and Andy Tanner.

This is really not meant as an offense to anyone, but am still shocked that I see so many moms pick such popular names for their little ones. Don't get me wrong I think many of the top names are beautiful, but wouldn't want my son to be the fifth Jacob in a class.
So what's your reasoning? Just curious, not trying to be snarky.
Why does popularity not bother you?

I guess there is no guarantee that an uncommon name will not be the next door neighbors name.
^^^I shared a name with the next door neighbor as a little girl. We're still friends today, and her parents still call me "Kelly Next Door" even though we haven't lived next door to each other in nearly 20 years. We loved it and still laugh about it! My DD's name is Cara, and a little girl named Keira moved in next door to us. Not the same name, but very close, and Cara isn't even all that popular. You can't always "save" your kid from sharing a name with others, but trust me, it's not the end of the world. I think it often bothers the parents more than it does the kids who share the name.
I have a very uncommon name. However, the older I get the more I run into people with my name, and it's frustrating. It was something that helped me stand out and I became used to people asking how to spell it, how to pronounce it when it's written, etc. But now it's annoying because it's no longer unique, and that change is frustrating. It's another side to the same coin. When you have a common name, you get used to be unique on your own merits. When you are 'unique' based on your name, reality bites.
Facts don't change just because someone cries.
Life is exciting now that Nicholas (7/6/09) and Allison (11/29/10) joined big sister Sydney (1995) and Mom and Dad
I had about 3 Crystals in every class growing up and always had my initial tacked onto the end of my name. I hated it. But now that I'm older I don't know many Crystals at all. I think my name suits me.
I did give my children unique, yet real names, because that just suits my and DH's personalities and the kids are little bits of us. The fact of the matter is that a child will never be the only person with that name, so someone trying to be unique shouldn't kid themselves into thinking it will be.

The only thing that mattered to me was that the name wasn't already used in our family and that we didn't know many people with the name either.
We are highly considering Jacob - never thought I would - but it just *feels* right. We had a super hard time finding something that felt right this time around.

Jeremy and Ari Undaunted by Result
Hasbara duo kept a stiff upper lip after learning that Gimpel will likely not be in the 19th Knesset.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 1/23/2013, 10:49 PM
Jeremy Gimpel, who is in the 14th place in Bayit Yehudi's list, and his longtime associate Ari Abramowitz, maintained their composure and optimism Tuesday night, when results from the elections indicated that Gimpel would not make it into the 19th Knesset.
By Wednesday evening, Gimpel's chances appeared increasingly slim, but Bayit Yehudi still hopes to be able to place 12 MKs in the next Knesset. This will depend on the result of the soldier's votes, which will be calculated Thursday.

Furry Vengeance Movie Reviews
User reviews on Furry Vengeance
I consider myself an eco-friendly kind of guy. I recycle, turn the water off when I brush my teeth, and donate clothes instead of tossing them in the trash. Anything that's going to get kids to go along with this, I'm all for. Unless it's Furry Vengeance. This stinker made me want to smoke, then throw the cigarette into a forest and watch it burn.
Brendan Fraser (who I may have to stop making excuses for soon) moves his family to Oregon to oversee construction of a new housing development. The woodland creatures that inhabit this forest aren't going to take this lying down, and they spend the rest of the movie inflicting numerous tortures on poor Brendan. And that's pretty much it. Some minor story lines come in involving Fraser's family, but all of this is just an excuse to have CG animals get revenge on humans. If you think bird poop and being dunked in a port-a-john are hilarious, then this movie is for you. It probably also means your 6.
If the movie was funny, or actually had something to say about our environment and how we treat it, it may have gotten more stars. As it is, it's a mean spirited, unfunny film that parents should avoid at all costs. While it supposedly makes the point that saving the environment and nature is a good thing, all your kids will get is that if you piss off a raccoon, you're going to get your ass kicked.

|Home > RNJ > 2011 > July/August > Clinical Consultation: Nonpharmacologic Management of Agitated Behaviors After Traumatic Brain Injury (CE)
Clinical Consultation: Nonpharmacologic Management of Agitated Behaviors After Traumatic Brain Injury (CE)
A.O. is a 23-year-old male who suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and third-degree burns to his buttocks after a motor vehicle collision. After the first night on the rehabilitation unit, the nurses asked the medical team for medication to manage agitation because he was up all night, calling and trying to get out of bed. What interventions could rehabilitation nurses implement to decrease this patient's agitation before turning to medication?
A recent study found that 70% of brain injury patients admitted for rehabilitation experienced some form of agitation (Beaulieu et al., 2008). Often rehabilitation professionals will use medications to manage agitated behaviors, especially in situations that place the survivor or staff at risk for injury. Medications do not address the underlying cause of the agitation and can negatively impact overall function and recovery (Hoffman, Cheng, Zafonte, & Kline, 2008).
Rehabilitation nurses play a key role in identifying triggers for agitation and ways to manage the environment to prevent unwanted behavior. The impaired cognition that results from TBI can make it difficult for the survivor to interpret his or her environment. Orientation of confused survivors can be performed through verbal and environmental cues such as calendars, clocks, and signs. A phone call to a family member may help the survivor if he or she is confused and untrusting. A consistent schedule and treatment team will help. If the agitation is related to boredom, keep the survivor involved in activities that are therapeutic. Therapeutic activities such as games, reading, movies, or supervised ambulation can be developed by the team and implemented by aides or volunteers. Staff should continuously assess whether the interventions implemented are age appropriate and effective. Interventions can become overstimulating, which can worsen agitation. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality guideline "Traumatic Brain Injury: Diagnosis, Acute Management and Rehabilitation" recommends behavioral management by a trained professional but does not specify interventions (Chestnut et al., 1999).
In survivors who are easily overwhelmed in stimulating situations, a quiet environment works well. Assessing whether the survivor will do best in a private room, needs a limit on the number of visitors, or needs a room away from hallway noise is important. Other calming interventions that have been studied to calm agitation include playing soft music or the use of gentle hand massage (Remington, 2002).
The incidence of sleep disturbances following TBI is as high as 70% (Makley et al., 2008). Poor sleep can result in problems with attention, concentration, new learning, and processing speed. Agitation can result from lack of sleep. Implementing interventions to improve sleep can reduce agitated behaviors. Turning off televisions and radios will provide a less stimulating environment. Shutting off lights or closing blinds will make the room dark and distinguish it as a time to rest. Avoiding caffeine or heavy meals before bedtime will prevent the survivor from having trouble falling asleep. Naps during the day and taking neurostimulating medication after ¨3 pm should be avoided.
Physical impairments following TBI can also cause agitation; the most common is pain, which is present in 1/3 to 1/2 of patients up to 5 years postinjury (Dobscha et al., 2009). Pain following TBI is multifactorial. Spasticity, heterotopic ossification, posttraumatic headaches, neuropathic pain, or pain from multiple fractures or injuries can all contribute to agitation. Applying heat or ice, massaging, or using nonnarcotic medication can help relieve pain and decrease agitation while avoiding interventions that may decrease cognition.
Incontinence following TBI has been documented at 60% (Masel & Dewitt, 2010). The inability to communicate the need to use the bathroom or the inability to accurately perceive the sensation of a full bladder or rectum can lead to agitation. A well-established program to anticipate the need for toileting can also decrease agitation.
A.O. was seen that morning and found to have had six loose stools overnight. When the patient was assessed by the advanced practice nurse, the perianal skin was found to be raw and painful to touch. Working with the nursing staff, a temporary rectal bag and topical ointments were implemented to protect his skin. The dietician changed the enteral feeding formula. Lactobacillus and a routine schedule of pain medication to anticipate his pain was added. The physical therapist was contacted and obtained a more appropriate wheelchair cushion. By addressing the pain issues, the survivor's agitation diminished and he did not need any sedating medication. Rehabilitation nurses working with brain injury survivors can collaborate with the interdisciplinary treatment team to devise behavioral management interventions to manage and prevent agitation and avoid the use of medication that may impair cognition and recovery.

SEATTLE - The 2012 Pac-12 champion Husky Basketball team took the court for the first time on Friday in preparation for their upcoming Europe and Africa trip. The Huskies are allowed a total of 10 practices before they leave for Barcelona, Spain on Aug. 25.
Unlike a typical start to the season, UW Coach Lorenzo Romar and his staff took it relatively easy on the team. Romar is pleased that the team showed up to the first day of practice well-conditioned and says it is too early to single out who stood out after day one's two hour practice.
"It's a long summer," Romar said. "We don't want to burn ourselves out too early."
He said the team concentrated on the half-court offense on Friday, which will be key for the Huskies when they play seven games overseas. Washington will see a variety of professional teams, including a couple of high "A" squads in their first stop.
The Huskies leave Seattle on Saturday, Aug. 25 and are scheduled to reach Barcelona a day later on Aug. 26. The first game is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 28. They will play again in Spain on Aug. 29.
The team will then head to Nice, France where they will play on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. The Huskies wrap up the European portion of their tour with a game on Sept. 3 and 4 in Paris. The team departs France on Sept. 5 and heads to Dakar, Senegal for four days and will play once on Sept. 7.
The team of course will do more than play basketball on the trip. They will visit numerous famous sights of each region and learn about their cultures and histories along the way.
"I think everybody is excited about the trip," said Romar. "The guys will get to experience something out of the ordinary and gain an appreciation of a slice of the world they would not otherwise get to see."

College Hockey:This Week in Atlantic Hockey: March 4, 2010
Tourney Time
Thanks to a less-than-impressive showing outside of Atlantic Hockey, no AHA teams are in contention for an at-large NCAA berth. That means for the 10 Atlantic Hockey teams, the NCAA tournament starts this weekend. Win and move on; lose and go home.
The opening round of the AHA playoffs has Connecticut at Bentley and American International at Holy Cross. The lowest surviving seed will travel to RIT for the best-of-three quarterfinals. The next lowest seed goes to Sacred Heart. Other quarterfinals already set feature natural rivals Army at Air Force and Canisius at Mercyhurst.
The last weekend of the regular season was not without some drama, as well as a pair of unexpectedly lopsided results.
On Friday, Canisius and RIT squared off with the Tigers having already clinched the regular season title and the top seed in the playoffs, and the Griffs desperately needing a win to stay in the hunt for a home playoff series. All that went out the window when RIT scored twice in the first three minutes and coasted to an 8-0 win.
"We weren't expecting that," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. "Sometimes everything goes your way. [Canisius] is a much better team than that."
On Saturday, Air Force, which could have found itself on the road in the quarterfinals, pummeled second-place Sacred Heart 8-1 to lock up third place. The Pioneers had been one of the hottest teams in college hockey before getting swept in Colorado Springs.
"For us to score 14 goals in just over five periods after we have struggled to score the last six games, I would have never thought that," Falcons coach Frank Serratore said. "I knew we would compete well on our ice and I was very optimistic. … This weekend, everything fell into place for us."
Mercyhurst went into Saturday's game at ninth-place Connecticut needing a win or tie to lock up third place, but the Huskies rallied back from a 2-0 deficit, including an extra-attacker goal with 35 seconds to play, and then won the game in overtime on Jason Krispel's second goal of the game.
"The kids deserve it; they've been battling all year," UConn coach Bruce Marshall said after the game. "We really haven't been that far away. If we could start the season over with a few of the things we learned, then we might have a little more success than what shows in the wins and the losses."
"The truth is I thought we got what we deserved," said Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin. "I don't think we played nearly well enough to beat a good UConn team tonight. I was disappointed with our overall effort. They're much better then what their record shows."
Weekly Awards
Player of the Week for March 1:
Tim Kirby — Air Force
The sophomore defenseman had a goal and six assists last weekend to help the Falcons to a home sweep of Sacred Heart. His five assists on Saturday set a school record.
Goalie of the Week for March 1:
Jared DeMichiel — RIT
DeMichiel wins the award for the third week in a row, and it's no coincidence that the Tigers are 6-0 over that span. Last weekend the senior stopped 45 of 49 shots to help his team to a 8-0, 5-4 sweep of Canisius. DeMichiel is 21-4-1 in AHA play this season with a 1.78 goals against average and .932 save percentage.
Rookie of the Week for March 1:
Adam Hartley — RIT
Hartley had a pair of goals and a pair of assists last weekend, including three points on Saturday.
Monthly Awards
Player of the Month for February:
Cameron Burt — RIT
Burt had 15 points in February to help the Tigers to a 7-1 record for the month. He leads RIT with 13 goals and is second in overall points with 36 points through 33 games.
Other players nominated: Tim Kirby, Air Force; Steve McLeod, AIC; Josh Heidinger, Canisius; Andrew Olson, Connecticut; Jordan Cyr; Holy Cross; Mike Gurtler, Mercyhurst; Nick Johnson, Sacred Heart.
Goalie of the Month for February:
Jared DeMichiel — RIT
No surprise here has DeMichiel has been named AHA goalie of the week for the past three weeks. He had a 1.91 GAA and .930 save percentage in February, including a pair of shutouts.
Other goalies Nominated: Thomas Tysowsky, Holy Cross.
Rookie of the Month for February:
Eric Delong — Sacred Heart
DeLong had four goals and six assists in February. He leads all AHA rookies and is sixth nationally with 30 points so far this season.
Other rookies nominated: Adam Pleskach, AIC; Joe Campanelli, Bentley; Grant Blakey, Mercyhurst.
First Round
Here's your playoff outlook for the first round:
Friday, March 5:
No. 10 American International at No. 7 Holy Cross
How they got here: AIC was picked to finish last in the AHA preseason poll, and that's where the Yellow Jackets wound up. Holy Cross showed this year that despite a seventh-place finish, it can play with anyone in the league. The Crusaders took points from every team except for Mercyhurst and Sacred Heart. However, AIC won the season series between the two teams 2-0-2.
How AIC wins: Keep doing what it did against Holy Cross all season: win low-scoring games. The Yellow Jackets have shut out the Crusaders twice, limiting them to a total of five goals in four games.
How Holy Cross wins: AIC's defense is the worst in the league, allowing almost four goals a game. But against the Crusaders? Only 1.25 goals allowed per game. Holy Cross needs to get an early goal and build from there. The Crusaders can't afford another power outage in a single elimination game.
Yellow Jacket to watch: Freshman Ben Meisner has shut out the Crusaders twice this season, so he's the obvious choice in net.
Crusader to watch: Another rookie goaltender, Thomas Tysowsky is fourth in the league in GAA (2.44) and fifth in save percentage (.909).
Saturday, March 6:
No. 8 Connecticut at No. 7 Bentley
How they got here: Connecticut has just six wins this season, but two of those have come in its last four games. The Huskies have knocked off RIT and Mercyhurst, so they're dangerous in a single game situation. Bentley has faltered down the stretch. Since becoming the only AHA team to beat RIT at Frank Ritter Arena on Jan. 30, the Falcons have gone 1-6-1. Losing Dustin Cloutier to injury in mid-January has hurt.
How Connecticut wins: The comeback win over Mercyhurst last Saturday has to give Marshall's club a boost. They've beaten Bentley once already this season.
How Bentley wins: The Falcons need to stay out of the box — they've got the worst penalty kill in the league at 78.6 percent.
Husky to watch: Yet another rookie goaltender will be key: Garrett Bartus, who joined the team after the holidays and has posted a .903 save percentage to date.
Falcon to watch: Senior forward Marc Menzione leads the team with 11 goals and 29 points. He's the go-to guy on the power play and has chipped in two shorthanded goals as well.

Retired umpire Dickie Bird has succeeded his former Barnsley CC colleague Geoff Boycott as President of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
He said: "It is a tremendous honour and the pinnacle of my career. "I feel so humble but, at the same time, so proud."
Dickie, aged 80, of White Rose Cottage, Staincross, was 16 when he walked through the famous Headingley gates to attend the nets.
"Never in my wildest dreams at that age did I think I would become club president," he said.
"Sir Donald Bradman, the great Australian batsman, told me Yorkshire was the greatest club in the world."
At 19 he signed full-time with Yorkshire, made his debut in 1956 and joined Leicestershire as a batsman at the age of 24. On retiring as a cricketer, he was an umpire for 31 years and umpired in 66 test matches, 93 one day internationals and three World Cup finals.
He said: "I would like Yorkshire to win the county championship during my year as president; last year they came very close. "My first roles will be to attend the photo shoot of the team at the beginning of the season and to make a speech to the members."

People change, and on top of that, a lot of that stuff in music is entertainment and they do not really live it. It pays the bills. look at ice cube, he was in NWA, now he is the family man

If I remember correctly, one time on Letterman or Leno, ICE-T essentially admitted to committing "Heat" style bank robberies in L.A. back in the day, but didn't say much because of the statute of limitations in California.
Heat is definitely one of my favorite movies. ICE-T is an ok rapper.
Ice-T was never put on any set and if he was he was not an active member because if he was he would have a record especially considering the era in which he grew up. All the gangs that are in LA that have reputations built their reputations and notoriety in the 80's. The area in which he grew up in and the school he went to is in a blood hood. W/S Van Ness Gangster Brims but the school is ran by the W/S Rolling 60's NHC (Neighborhood Crips) along with the Rolling 40 NHC.
If he was active member he would have been vouched for by OG 60 crip members such as Keitaroc, Lil Fee who are still alive and dead members like Marrocc and mumbles. On top of that rival gang members of the 60's, 40''s etc such as Monster Kody would have mentioned him and others such as Lil Monster, Joker, Crazy De etc would have been after him.
It kills me when guys act like they never done anything in their youth and were angels. I know there are guys on this site who have been in trouble and more. There are police officers, military and others who caused trouble in their youth but changed their Lives.
The gun community needs a voice right now and so what if its Ice-T.
That's good because every one makes a mistake now it would be different if one continues to run afoul of the law when they should have learned their lesson.
I know and know of former gang members who have done more positive work in their communities once they changed than many people who have never seen the back seat of a patrol car or inside of a jail. That's the honest truth because there are guys out there like that.
Then you have guys who are Ice-T age who still go to jail and or prison. I don't even think Ice T has even been to jail lol.
Folks, when true tyranny takes hold it will be enforced by the police or military. Not talking junk, just looking at history. Just look no further than Lexington Green if you don't believe it.
OH, and the response of the reporter is priceless. I expected him to start stuttering and fall out of his chair.
Perhaps ICE-T was simply referring to the fuzz as a figurative representation of the man, the establishment, the tyrranical government......or perhaps not.
Cube never did any kind of dirt, but he played the part well lol.
Uh...guys? I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I haven't always been exactly a Choir Boy either. I am quite thankful for the statute(s) of limitations & deeply appreciate that the bad judgements of my past didn't & doesn't solely determine the man I've become. As a matter of fact, I have always given particular credibility to men who HAVE once been been (how can I put this?) uh, "less than righteous". I have set near-records for sins per minute & have been in jail in two countries NOT including the U.S. I have been callous, heartless & suppose I've been considered dangerous by my enemies. I have exchanged gunfire with the most earnest intent of killing my target, all the while hoping (praying) to avoid my target's fervent wish to kill me. I believe scars are tattoos...with better stories. So I am in NO POSITION to discredit a man who I DO NOT know for what he MAY or MAY NOT have done 25-30 years ago. If he's smart enough to understand that at least part of our Right to Keep & Bear is our protection from tyranny, then he's smart enough for me. If his checkered past has given him this perspective, then perhaps some of the anti-gun, buy the world a Coke, let's talk this out crowd should get scabbed-up a little to clear their thinking. :blackeye:
Anybody unsure if people can change,take a look at Adam Brown,a lowly crack head from Arkansas,that became a DEVGRU SeAL,so don't cast doubt.
Like it or not, if politicians ban guns, it won't be the mayor, governor or president who comes knocking at your door with a warrant, it will be the POLICE. Not the military, the POLICE. So I get his point, although it could have been better stated. Certainly I doubt most police look forward to confiscating citizens' firearms, it sounds like a super dangerous activity on a good day.
No he hates cops, but that's just him and his experiences. To each their own. He was a crip by association because of where he grew up in high school. He was born upper middle class, both his parents died within one year and bam, he has to move to the getto with relatives. It's not like middle class kids who join gangs, everyone is affiliated if you live in that neighborhood. There is no, I don't bang, they ask what street you live on and label you.
He was military, a Ranger, airborn maybe. Ice used this knowledge to knock off business when he got out. He considered it a victimless crime since the places he robbed had insurance (I know that's a cop out.) All his friends went to jail and told him, "Yo Ice you wouldn't like it here." He listened and decided to go into music, then got a break acting. He has been mostly an actor for about ten years.
He is not a good role model or spokes person for anyone. He is a criminal that got out of the game, that is what he would tell you. But he is American as apple pie and very good at expressing his right to free speech.

College Hockey:Eagles Edge Huskies
Boston College solves Northeastern in Beanpot semi
BOSTON — After the second period, no one in Matthews Arena could believe that the Northeastern University Huskies would be tied at 1-1 with the No. 5 team in the nation. But although the Eagles pulled away with the 3-1 victory, NU took a tough BC team to the edge for 40 minutes.
We outplayed em, NU head coach Dave Flint said after the game. [BC goaltender Molly Schaus] made a few key saves, and in the third period we ran out of steam. We just gotta play 60 minutes.
The Eagles had defeated the Huskies in the previous four matchups dating back to Northeasterns last victory on January 17th 2008. Yet through the first two periods, the Huskies matched the high-flying Eagles shot-for-shot, goal-for-goal.
Thats a team that doesnt quit, BC head coach Katie King said about the Huskies, They come at you hard, and they come quick. Theyre going to be a really good team.
BC struck first 2:38 into the first frame when junior forward Allie Thunstrom took the puck down the near side to the back of the near faceoff circle, then threw a centering pass to her freshman line mate Mary Restuccia. Restuccia tipped that puck above Sulymas glove. Katelyn Kurth, who threw the puck off the center ice boards for Thunstrom, also got an assist.
Restuccia recorded her first Beanpot goal in her first shift.
Its easy to score when you play with someone like Allie [Thunstrom] and Kelli [Stack], said Restuccia. You have open space, and shell give it to you.
It took 36 seconds for Northeastern to respond. Ali Bielawski, skating into the offensive zone, got to the low circle where she lifted a backhand top-shelf goal.
The Huskies, playing on their home ice, nearly pulled ahead on the penalty kill a few minutes later. Schaus came out to play the puck, but it took a hop off of a defenders skate and right onto the stick of Missy Elumba. With Schaus nearly out of position, her mind went to Monday nights game, where the NU mens team took advantage of BC goaltender John Muses miscues.
Our [penalty kill] is all about pressure, pressure, pressure, Elumba said. I saw the goalies out, and went out to scare her. I never had that opportunity before.
The puck hit off of Schaus hip and flew over the crossbar, keeping the game tied.
That would be all the scoring for close to 39 minutes as the two goaltenders settled down.
Northeastern looked again like it had taken the lead in the second period when Kristi Kehoe seemed to have slid the puck past Molly Schaus, who was drawn to the right side. After hearing Schaus' argument and having a conversation with the goal judge, referee Robert Tisi overturned the call, ruling that Kehoe pushed the puck in with her hand.
BC took our sticks away from us, Elumba said. We knew it was in, we just wanted an argument. We had Schaus yelling and shaken up. Elumba gave Kehoe points on the baseball slide to get into the crease. She was pretty safe.
Through two periods, the underdogs had the lead in shots 21-7, despite losing the faceoff battle by close to a 3-1 margin. Still, the Eagles, with a loss in last years Beanpot semifinals to Boston University fresh in their minds, knew they had the upper hand.
In the third, we knew wed come out strong, Restuccia said. This game means everything.
Since last years semifinal loss, we wanted a chance to get it back, said Thunstrom. We knew we needed to relax. We were having trouble with the breakout passes, and trouble getting it out of the zone.
With the man advantage, BC would score 1:49 into the third period on a play that was the main subject of debate after the game.
[Stack] was offside by two feet, Flint said.
I hesitated. I didnt think I could keep it in the zone. I thought it was still in, Stack countered.
With Alyssa Wohlfeiler in the penalty box for tripping (a rollover penalty from the end of the second), the play in question began when Northeastern tried to clear the zone. The puck hit off of Stack at or over the blue line, depending on who you believe. Stack passed it off to Becky Zavisza, who fired it on Sulyma. Danielle Welch found the rebound and nailed it through the five hole to put BC up.
There was frustration after the second goal, said Husky forward Colleen Sanborn. She was blatantly offside.
The momentum had shifted completely towards BC, who outshot NU in the third stanza 16-4.
The Stack/Thunstrom combination was not finished yet. Halfway through the third period, Allie Thunstrom pounced on a weak pass at the blue line. She sprinted up the left-wing boards, with Stack racing to the far post. Thunstrom found Stack at the post, who get it by Sulyma for the two-goal lead.
Playing shorthanded with Allie is fun, said Stack. We just fly off the boards.
The Stack/Thunstrom combination has combined for four shorthanded goals this season.
Its our trademark, Stack said.
Sulyma expected Thunstrom to turn around the front. She didnt expect the pass to Stack, who everyone thought was tied up by NU defender Stephanie Gavronsky.
Still, NU had one more chance, when a point blank backhand shot from Elumba was turned aside by Schaus right leg.
In the game, Thunstrom collected points number 100 and 101 in just 96 career games. The junior was quick to credit her lines mates.
Stack is an unbelievable stick handler, Mary is a good skater, and I guess Im the speeder, Thunstrom later said.
The Eagles move on to play the Harvard Crimson in the Championship game next Tuesday. Harvard beat the BU in the earlier game, 8-0. The Huskies will take on the Terriers in the consolation game, and are looking for one Beanpot landmark.
Our seniors have not won a beanpot game yet, Sulyma said.
