College Hockey:Brown gets two late goals to force tie with top-ranked Quinnipiac
HAMDEN, Conn. — Brown fought back in the final two minutes of regulation to force a 3-3 tie against No. 1 Quinnipiac.
The Bobcats held a 3-1 lead late in the third period until the Bears netted a pair just a minute apart near the end of regulation.
That said, Brown coach Brendan Whittet wasn't in the mood for celebrating a tie against the nation's top-ranked squad.
"Quite honestly, I didn't think we had our 'A' game tonight," Whittet said. "We are missing our best forward [Garnet] Hathaway and we got some guys with the flu that played. Still, we found a way to get the three points on the weekend and those are three big points."
With just two games left in the regular season, every point is essential for a team like Brown that is fighting for a first-round home series. The Bears are currently sitting in eighth place with 18 points, just one point ahead of Princeton and Cornell.
Entering next week's practices, Whittet admitted he wants to keep things simple.
"Just trying to get better and not worrying about where we end up in the standings, but the process and how we have to go about it to get to where we want to be," Whittet said with a smile. "It's coach talk, but it's the truth."
As the clock ticked down to the final two minutes, Jeff Ryan willed his team to within a goal. Ryan came off the near-side half boards and drove through the right circle. As he muscled through the Bobcats' defense, he wrestled a shot behind Quinnipiac goalie Eric Hartzell to bring the score to 3-2.
Brown tied it up a minute later on Chris Zaires' sixth goal of the season. Brown pulled goaltender Anthony Borelli with just over a minute left in regulation after the Brunos dumped the puck into the QU end. The Bears raced to the loose puck and gained possession in the near corner. After Hartzell turned away a shot at the circle, the Bears attacked the net. Zaires joined the effort and poked the loose puck past Hartzell for the equalizer.
"[Zaires has] been great," Whittet said. "He's a senior, a leader and he's got great stick skills. He plays in all situations and he wears a letter for a reason."
The Bobcats entered the game with the No. 1-rated team defense in the nation, but as Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold explained, they certainly did not play like a top-rated defense, especially in the final minutes.
"I am certainly disappointed in the outcome," Pecknold said. "We struggled buying into the little things tonight. It was just sloppy. I think in the last month, we haven't played our best hockey and Hartzell has been bailing us out. The guys just aren't buying in like they did earlier in the year and we need to find a way to get them to recommit if we want to advance in the playoffs. The way we are playing right now, we are going to have a tough time getting out of the round after the bye."
The Bobcats jumped out to an early 1-0 lead just 2:32 into the first period, but the Bears held their ground for the rest of the period and knotted the score 7:29 into the second period.
Four minutes later, the Bobcats regained the lead on a Jordan Samuels-Thomas power-play goal. Zach Davies wristed shot on net from the left point that Samuels-Thomas tipped at the goal line. The puck finally sneaked under Borelli to give Quinnipiac the 2-1 lead.
Quinnipiac extended its lead 29 seconds into the third period on Russell Goodman's sixth goal of the season. Once again, Davies was the catalyst at the point as he sent a soft wrister on net from blue line. The puck bounced through the slot and eventually deflected off of Goodman at the top of the crease and under Borelli for the 3-1 lead.
Brown did its part in the third staying out of the penalty box and limiting Quinnipiac to nine shots.
"It was just a really gritty effort to come back in that game against a team that is No. 1 in team defense," Whittet said. "They don't give up those goals easily. For our guys to come up with a point and to score those two goals at the end, I think it is a really good point on the road, a really good point."

Suggestions from moms to stop the grazing????
Friday, June 14, 2013
I think most moms out there would agree with me that nibbling from your kiddos plates is a very easy, and very common, thing to do. As in, "hmmmm, it would be sad to let this 50 calorie chicken nugget go to waste" and "I need a spoonful to be sure it isn't too hot." and my favorite......"someone has to lick the ice cream off of the spoon prior to putting it in the dishwasher." And if you honestly added all of that up, the calorie count is a killer. I read an article once by a WW leader who said she honestly logged those points over the course of two weeks and it added up to ALL of her extra points allowance. YIKES!!!
And, I have a weird situation in my house that makes this grazing an enormous temptation. My husband and I own a business and we tend to eat really late, sometimes I make salad or !whatever at 10 pm!!! Obviously I cannot wait that late to feed the kiddos, so I cook twice. And the first time is usually a little more fun than grilled chicken salad!!! I feed them well, but they do eat more carbs (pasta!!!!) than I do so that nibble nibble nibble habit is bad. I need to find a way to keep that too a minimum.
So, here is my plan. Weigh in if you have suggestions or tweaks that you think might make this struggle easier for me.
1. green tea - in a large, icy glass. and a lemon. I am hoping this will fix the desire to have something in my mouth and fill up the tummy with something that increases metabolism and has lots of healthy volume.
2. gum? or brush my teeth? I am buying a second toothbrush and putting it down in the main floor bathroom where my kids brush in the morning. If I brush just before they sit down, maybe it will keep that under control?
3. snack before I cook/while I cook. I am thinking that a plate of veggies or a little fruit/nut butter might be a good way to keep me busy. What about WW famous soup? A cup would be good for the body in more than one way.
Okay.................let me hear your suggestions. Surely I am not the only one out there that struggles with this!!

My kids are older so they feed themselves. I don't snack from their plates anymore - they would yell at me! LOL
I think you have a good plan. Especially brushing your teeth before you feed them. Maybe that will make you less likely to want to put things in your mouth.
Good luck with your efforts to stop grazing!

Former Gov. Jesse Ventura has a few words for Fox News and their views, and he's not being kind. The governor just doesn't appear to have patience anymore for the top rated cable news station in the United States.
Is he a deserter or a hero? Maybe it's something in between? These questions have surrounded Sgt Bowe Bergdahl, who was released earlier this year after spending five years in captivity of the Taliban. President Obama made the call to arrange a swap of five Taliban prisoners who were being held at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, in exchange for the POW Bergdahl who was finally released on May 31, 2014. Reports have stated that when Bergdahl went missing, he had actually abandoned his post, putting fellow soldiers in jeopardy in the process. After this information leaked, the situation quickly became political. Republicans jumped on President Obama, accusing him of negotiating with terrorists and and giving up too much for an alleged "traitor" and "deserter." The Obama administration quickly defended their actions, stating that the United States leaves no solider behind.
The number one anti-Bergdahl voice was the right-wing safe haven, Fox News. Known for their constant attacks on the Obama administration, Fox News framed the story as one of a weak commander in chief in another attempt to slander President Obama. On his podcast "We the People with Jesse Ventura," released each Thursday, host Jesse Ventura came clean with his thoughts on Fox News and the people who rely on them for a "fair and balanced" approach to the news.
"Anyone that gives Fox News any shred of credibility is ridiculous. When I'm out in the world and I hear people tell me that they watch Fox News, right away I question that person's sanity to myself. That person can't be of solid mind because no one of solid mind will watch Fox News and take it seriously."
Fox News promotes their brand as one that delivers "fair and balanced" news coverage, but time and time again, show themselves to be a major branch of the right wing media. Jesse Ventura has had his run ins with Fox News over the years, from heated debates with Sean Hannity, to making Brian Kilmeade leave the Fox and Friends news set after questioning the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

College Hockey:Colgate downs top-ranked Minnesota in a shootout at Mariucci Classic
MINNEAPOLIS — The hype going into the Mariucci Classic was a potential Saturday matchup between No. 1 Minnesota and No. 2 Ferris State.
That isn't going to happen.
Colgate and Minnesota played to a 2-2 tie in their semifinal matchup at the Mariucci Classic on Friday and the Raiders advanced to the championship game thanks to a 2-1 shootout victory.
Ferris State took down Rensselaer 6-2 in the first game of the Mariucci Classic.
"Any schedule you look at it and you circle certain games, this is one that I had circled," Colgate coach Don Vaughan said. "I thought this could be somewhat of a defining moment for our team to this point in the season."
The Gophers are now 0-3 this year in shootouts, which doesn't mean much for nonconference games, but is huge in Big Ten play where a shootout win equals an extra conference point.
"It feels like a loss, we have to start winning some shootouts," Gophers' forward Kyle Rau said. "At the end of year in the Big Ten, we're going to need those points."
It was clear from talking to players and coaches that everyone on the Minnesota side viewed the tie as more of a loss.
"It's a hollow feeling in the dressing room," Minnesota acting head coach Mike Guentzel said. "Really, the bottom line for me tonight is if you turn pucks over like we did on the blue line and the neutral zone, it's going to cost you a hockey game. We tied, but it feels like a loss, and the turnovers are something that we're going to have to address."
For a team that was missing two star playmakers and its head coach, Minnesota found itself in a tough spot after two periods — down 2-1. Minnesota was without Hudson Fasching, Brady Skjei and head coach Don Lucia, all away at the World Junior Championship in Malmo, Sweden.
Guentzel said that it's possible the three could be back for Saturday's game against Rensselaer, but he didn't know for sure.
Travis Boyd scored a one-time goal halfway through the third on the power play to tie things up at two apiece. Boyd didn't connect cleanly on the shot, but it found its way past Colgate netminder Charlie Finn.
The two teams went back and forth after Boyd's goal for the remainder of regulation and overtime.
Mike Borkowski and Ryan Johnston scored for Colgate in the shootout.
After Colgate weathered Minnesota's attack in the early going of the game, which included eight shots in the first five minutes, the Gophers and Raiders played the game's first period to a scoreless tie.
Minnesota defenseman Michael Brodzinski broke that tie two-and-a-half minutes into the second period when his quick wrist shot form the blue line found its way past Finn.
Six minutes later, Colgate tied the game up thanks to some rare shaky goaltending by Adam Wilcox. The Gophers' sophomore goaltender failed to handle a long shot, the rebound fell to his feet and was jammed home by Joe Wilson.
The Raiders took the lead in the second period thanks to another Gophers' mistake, this time a bad line change and a turnover at center ice. The turnover led to a two-on-zero breakaway for Colgate and a one-time goal by Darcy Murphy.
Finn finished the game with 36 saves, while Wilcox made 27.
"[Finn] was good and he was really good in the first four minutes," Guentzel said. "We had some pressure around the net and we had some second-shot opportunities. I thought he was strong."
Though fans and media may be disappointed that there will be no No. 1 vs. No. 2, Guentzel downplayed the importance, citing that Minnesota drubbed Boston College 8-1 in the Mariucci Classic last year and lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Ferris State and Colgate will play for the Mariucci Classic title Saturday at 4 p.m. CST, while Minnesota and RPI will play for third place at 7 p.m. CST.

This Wednesday, May 21, RPR Productions will be kicking off their new live music series. The FREE shows will happen the first and third Wednesday of every month at The Peacock Room in Orlando.
The first show will feature live music from Orlando singer/songwriter Reggie Williams along with Central Florida's Laney Jones and Pickens Ivey. "I'm looking forward to playing with Laney Jones and Matt Tonner," said Reggie Williams. "Those guys are great acts that I was hoping to get to see a lot more around Orlando before they left. I didn't know it was going to be a series, but it's awesome that Rhenn (Cahoe of RPR Productions) is being so proactive in the scene! That's always good to see!"
The Orlando Local Music Examiner had a chance to interview Phil Jahnke with RPR about the new series of shows. "I was approached by my friend Santi (Europa) about possibly hosting a gig at The Peacock Room. Phil Longo (bar manager) has been looking to reach out to more artists and bands to showcase at his bar/venue. After a meeting with Phil, we had decided that I would bring my wonderful production team I am affiliated with (RPR) to host an event every other Wednesday. I think this is going to bring a lot more artists from all over the Central Florida area. The Mills 50 crowd, in my opinion, is very proactive about the arts. It's a great place to bring a lot of talented people to showcase their music. And since these shows are 21+, it will bring us all types of different people, as well as artists of different genres. I can not be more excited about this opportunity!"
The members of RPR feel that the location of The Peacock Room adds to the whole experience of showcasing bands there. "Fans should head to The Peacock Room on Wednesdays because it's a nice way to celebrate the week and sit back to listen to some great artists," said Jahnke. "The best part about Mills 50 is that it's a more diverse crowd of people, looking to explore more musical genres. It's got a much different vibe than the downtown Orlando area. Free parking (for the most part) and many of Orlando's finest food establishments are within walking distance. The culture as well has a mass effect on the community as well."
RPR has always brought a wide selection of different artists together for their showcases. "The artists that we (RPR) are looking for would be anyone from acoustic singer-song writers, to bands of all genres," said Jahnke. "It's all about the experience at The Peacock Room. You will be taken care of and you will be appreciated for what you do. I firmly believe that. Get ready for a great night of music!"
The new series will be the first and third Wednesdays of the month at The Peacock Room, 1321 N. Mills Ave., Orlando. The shows will be FREE admission and are 21+. The doors open at 9 p.m. and the show starts at 9:30 p.m.

Nelson Frazier Jr., the former WWE wrestler who went under the ring names of Mabel, Viscera and Big Daddy V, died of a heart attack at the age of 43. The wrestler was popular with the WWE fans through the years while in the ring with many of the greats from the wrestling organization. The news of Frazier's death was released today according to the L.A. Times on Feb. 19.
When Frazier first came to the WWE, he was Mabel, the name he used for his spot on the "Men on a Mission" tag team. Later he took on the name of Viscera, when he became a member of the Undertaker's "Ministry of Darkness." He made his third and final stage name change to "Big Daddy V," which is the name many remember the giant for.
The WWE world has taken to social networks today to say good bye to the man who many saw as a gentle giant when not in the ring. Tommy Dreamer, MVP and Real King Regal were just a few of the WWE wrestlers who tweeted a good bye to their friend today.

David Freeman, a lifelong resident of Indian Land, filed earlier this week to run for county council District 1, joining three other Republicans in the race.
Freeman, 49, owns and manages South End Plaza, a retail center with 10 businesses at 7580 Charlotte Highway. He served on the Lancaster County Board of Zoning Appeals from 2008-12 and has served on the county Planning Commission for the past nine months.
Freeman opposes the current Indian Land incorporation proposal.
Candidate filing ended at noon Wednesday, and the only countywide race that will appear on primary ballots June 14 is for auditor on the Republican ticket.
In that race, Allen Blackmon, Suzette Connell Murphy and Susan Hunter Wallace will compete.
While Republicans David Freeman, Terry Graham, Melvin Stroble and J.R. Wilt will vie for the District 1 seat on Lancaster County Council, that race is for GOP voters in only that specific council district.

There could be a note taped to the bottom covering the sensor, saying you've been pranked on April Fools' Day.
April 1 is the day for good-natured antics, hijinks and light-hearted fun at someone else's expense. It's been that way since 1582, when the Council of Trent called for France to switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.
A Richburg man is jailed on three counts of attempted murder, charged with holding his ex-girlfriend and others at gunpoint, pouring gasoline on them and setting the house ablaze.
The victims escaped without serious injuries.
Vernon Danelle Dye, 36, is also charged with first-degree burglary, aggravated domestic violence, third-degree arson and weapons charges.
The county has asked state Sen. Greg Gregory (R-16) to find out who has the ultimate say on the naming of local streets and roads when public safety is at stake.
Gregory is head of the county's legislative delegation, which includes Sen. Vincent Sheheen (D-27) and House members Deborah Long (R-45), Mandy Powers Norrell (D-44), Richie Yow (R-53) and Speaker Jay Lucas (R-65).
The Lancaster Fire Department will begin its semi-annual fire hydrant testing throughout the city and parts of the county on Friday, April 1, 2016. This operation will continue throughout the months of April and May. All hydrants on a city water main will be tested to ensure they're operable and able to produce the required water pressure when needed.
Fire destroyed the home of an Indian Land family Thursday morning.
Lancaster County Fire Marshall Stephen Blackwelder said no one was injured in the fire at 7545 Haley Lane, though the home was a complete loss.
Blackwelder said firefighters were dispatched to the scene about 8:34 a.m. after a neighbor reported flames and smoke coming from the garage.
Though the family's three children were at school, the couple was still at home.
A $10,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the return of a work truck, tools, trailer and heavy equipment stolen from a home in Kershaw last month.
According to the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, the $90,000 worth of equipment was stolen from a home at the corner of Lynnfield Street and U.S. 601 about 3:45 a.m. Feb. 8.
Surveillance video showed the work truck with an attached trailer hauling an excavator being driven out of the yard onto U.S. 601 and heading east toward the Flat Creek community.
The Katawba Valley Land Trust (KVLT) in Lancaster has received a conservation easement from the Sheorn family that protects a 152-acre tract on Beaver Creek in Northern Kershaw County.
A conservation easement is a voluntary agreement between a landowner and the land trust that places certain restrictions on the future property development while protecting the conservation values in perpetuity. Landowners can also realize tax benefits for the value of the donated easement.
Gene Baker, who went from ad salesman to Lancaster radio station owner and cable TV pioneer, died Monday night. He was 82.
Baker was the former owner of Royal Broadcasting, which included WLCM-AM and WPAJ-FM, and Video Vision, which was later bought by Comporium.
Colleagues remember him as a master salesman.

Great review from the Toronto Film Scene!
Stephanie Hubbard writes:
"Despite knowing the basic history of ACT UP, I did not realize the intensity of their anger or have any real knowledge about the organization. There were moments during this documentary that brought me to tears, and although their methods to show the public just how many people AIDS has killed may seem unorthodox, they are incredibly haunting. In a stand-out protest from the '90s a group activists scattered the ashes of their loved ones who had died of AIDS on the White House lawn. Moving, effective and incredibly sad."

The Paralegal Studies program is designed for the student seeking a career as a legal assistant, working under the direction and supervision of an attorney in private practice, government service, or legal aid. The knowledge and skills acquired in the Paralegal Studies Program are also beneficial to students majoring in areas such as law enforcement, pre-law, business law, and political science. Students who with to learn more about the legal system and how to develop their own skills in legal research for personal enrichment are also encouraged to enroll.
The Paralegal Studies program at MSSU is specifically geared toward students who will be working in the state of Missouri, with some material applicapable to neighboring states such as Kansas and Arkansas. Any Paralegal Studies program that claims to prepare people for a career as a paralegal but is not geared toward the laws in a particular state is incomplete at best: Criminal laws, civil laws, family laws, labor laws, and estate lawsall vary considerably from state to state. Any program that claims to prepare students to work as a paralegal but does not focus on the laws of one particular state is not truly preparing students to work as a paralegal.
A student enrolled in the Paralegal Studies program may obtain a stand-alone Paralegal Studies Certificate or complete the same classes to earn the Paralegal Studies Minor along with any Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree at MSSU. Students who seek the certificate by itself may do so by successfully completing 24-30 hours of coursework. No degree is required. The certificate by itself qualifies students for employment as a paralegal in the state of Missouri and some neighboring states. The required classes are the same for the certificate and the minor, and are listed under the requirements for the minor. Classes for a Paralegal Studies certificate and minor are all offered online via the internet. Some classes are also offered on campus.
Students seeking the minor or the certificate must have a Paralegal Studies adivsor in the Department of Social Sciences.
In the past only two Paralegal Studies classes were offered per semester at MSSU. The program was originally set up for students who worked full time and/or had full-time family responsibilities and wanted to take night classes. However, the number of Paralegal classes offered is increasing and all classes are now offered via the internet. Taking two classes per semester meant it took at least six semesters (three years) to complete the Paralegal Certificate Program but students who can attend full-time (at least four classes per semester) can complete the Paralegal Studies Certificate program in 2-3 semesters (one year to 15 months) Under ideal circumstances a student can complete the certificate in one year at the current rate of class offerings.
Our is not a short-term program that makes big promises, takes your money, and leaves you with no real qualifications. The Paralegal Studies Certificate Program at MSSU is a real course of study at the university level. Our program has existed for over 40 years and has an outstanding track record of employment in the Southwest Missouri region. Paralegal Studies classes are all offered online via the internet, and some classes are also offered on campus.
Tuition and fees at MSSU change on a yearly basis, but if you multiply the tuition rate at MSSU by 30 hours and the Distance Learning fees for each internet class by 10 classes, the total cost as of May 2011 is roughly $6,500 for in-state students. Out-of-state tuition is higher.
FINANCIAL AID is available for qualified students. For any questions about financial aid please contact the MSSU Financial Aid office at 417-625-9325 or click on the words "FINANCIAL AID"
Completing the certificate or minor in Paralegal Studies requires at least 24 semester credit hours (8 classes) at MSSU.

Looking for alternatives I stumbled upon SMPlayer, which is a multi-platform multimedia player front-end for MPlayer. It may not have all the bells and whistles that VLC or other players do, but it's light on resources, easy to use and seems to work smoother when it comes to video playback and rendering subtitles. That's not to say SMPlayer is lacking features, though. In fact, one thing I really liked is that it remembers the settings of all files you play. You can start watching a movie, close it, and then resume at the same point you left off with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume, etc.
Other features include audio and video filters support, playlists, multiple speed playback, video equalizer, automatic subtitles search in opensubtitles.org, configurable keyboard shortcuts, and more. Available for Windows and Linux, installation is pretty straightforward and lets you download all the latest MPlayer codec packages during the process. If you're looking for an alternative to your current media player, don't hesitate to give SMPlayer a try.
There are quite a few media players out there that are also worth mentioning -- KMPlayer, Zoom Player, Media Player Classic Home Cinema, among others. Feel free to share your favorite in the comments and tell us why it's the best.

UNC is ready for the 2010 season
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From the UNC Cycling team....
The 2010 collegiate cycling schedule has been released, and the University of Northern Colorado cycling team is eagerly anticipating the upcoming race season. With a similar schedule to last year, we are looking forward to improving on our results from a year ago. In the 2009 season, we enjoyed some solid performances which included wins by David Leonard in the men's B Air Force road race, A.J. Turner in the men's C Denver University crit, and Ben Norris in the men's C Fort Lewis and Colorado College crits. We also earned some hardware at the RMCCC finals last year with A.J. accumulating the most total points on the season for men's C in Division II and Liz Martin earning the same title for women's B. Additionally, we sent Alex Lewis to nationals in Fort Collins where he represented us well and finished a respectable 16th in a tough road race.
While we lost several talented riders to graduation and transfer, we still have a few returning riders with race experience, including Alex Lewis, Ben Norris, and Liz Martin. We also have some new members this year with a great deal of potential who are enthusiastic about the prospect of racing. We have completed our custom jersey order and hope to receive our kits early in the season.
Scott Wenzel has agreed to coach us again this year, and we are grateful to have him as a resource. He used to race for UNC as well and possesses invaluable knowledge and experience. He is preparing both the new and experienced riders for the race season by helping us to build a strong base and learn race tactics and bike handling skills. With the race season upon us, we are switching to higher intensity workouts in preparation for the suffering ahead.
With the help of Scott, we expect to win races in several categories this year and help our new riders to gain confidence and experience in racing. We also hope to be represented at nationals again this year in Wisconsin. 2010 is going to be an awesome year for UNC cycling!

Reprinted from the March, 2000 issue of The Fishwrapper
Lyman: Keeping the Legend Alive
Down in Lexington, Ohio, a small burg just south of Mansfield, the sound of honest woodworking tools, and honest swearing, can still be heard emanating from a workshop out on Lindsey road. Lyman boats, you see, have made it into a new century and are going strong, due, in large part, to the gent making all the racket, Tom Koroknay, a.k.a. Doc Lyman.
The continued enthusiasm around the country for this most recognizable of all traditional wooden Lake Erie boats is pretty amazing, and is largely due to the tireless efforts of the good Doctor himself.
By the summer of 1973, Lyman wood boat production at the Sandusky plant had ceased, production having been switched over completely to fiberglass, although the wood boat building materials were retained by company management, who frequently made and shipped parts to wood boat owners. Also held in storage in the plant were factory archives, some dating back to the Lyman Bros./Boat Builders company founded by Bernard and Herman Lyman in Cleveland around 1875. The archives were a true treasure trove of drawings, half hull models, photographs, racing trophies and hull records dating back decades.
During the decade of the 1970's many factors conspired to make business difficult at the Sandusky, Ohio, plant. The fiberglass boats were not considered by wood Lyman owners as being "true" Lymans, which accordingly hurt sales. Quality, fit and finish on some 'glass boats were not up to snuff. Materials were expensive, as was labor. By 1980, Lyman had ceased new boat production entirely. They were, however, able to keep a skeleton crew employed through the repair and restoration of the wooden boats that had made the company famous in the first place.
Lyman went along from day to day through the early and mid eighties, suffering the humiliation of auctioneers, deal seekers and tire kickers. The period of stagnation came to an end in 1987, however, when the Lyman operation was finally sold to an individual from Cleveland, who planned to bring Lyman back as an upscale fiberglass line of runabouts. (An effort which eventually failed in the early 90's.) The wood boatbuilding patterns and jigs, and, amazingly, even the extensive archives, remained at the plant, but the new owner had absolutely no interest in building, servicing, or repairing the existing wooden boats. Enter Tom Koroknay.
Throughout the 1970's, Tom had worked as a homebuilder and cabinetmaker. In 1981, Tom started Koroknay's Marine Woodworking in order to fulfill the increasing demand for the service and repair of the many Lyman boats owned by his friends. In short order, home construction was a thing of the past, with Tom being fully occupied by the marine restoration business, in addition to the restoration and maintenance of the string of subsequent 26- and 30-foot Lymans he personally owned.
The call that was to change Tom Koroknay's life came in the fall of 1988 from the new owner of Lyman. He had heard of Tom, knew of his enthusiasm for Lyman boats, and was calling to offer him, for a price, the entire inventory of remaining wood boat patterns, jigs, tools, and hardware. He was also offering the plans and archives about which Tom had heard so much. In other words, the whole shebang was on the block. Time was of the essence, though. The new company management was on a tight schedule for a complete overhaul of the plant, so any old wood boat parts or patterns had to go. If they couldn't be sold, then they would be burned to make room. If Tom was going to act, he had to act fast.
On that fateful day, Tom mortgaged his own operation to buy what essentially constituted the entire Lyman wood boat building operation at the time. Not just the pattern for a particular part, mind you, but also the specialized power tool that was designed to fit into it and cut the proper bevel on the edge. By the truckload. Tom knew at the time that not only would such equipment be a tremendous time saver in his restoration shop, but that any parts produced from such tooling would be as original in configuration as if he had gone back in time and ordered them from Bill Lyman himself. Other restorers and builders might be able to come close in fit and finish, but only Tom could produce a part from the original Lyman factory tooling. Calling in every favor, borrowing every vehicle, and imposing on every friend he could think of, Tom spent the next weeks hauling truckloads of material from Sandusky to his shop in Lexington. Everything from tiny clinch nails to the entire factory 26-foot hull jig. Disorganized photographs. Piles of tired patterns and templates. All of it was carefully extracted from the wet, leaking, decrepit mess that the plant had become after years of neglect. After a two-hour drive south, it all got unloaded in Debbie Koroknay's backyard.
Frankly, some of his friends thought he was downright nuts. Wooden boats in the Reagan era? There were no wooden Lymans on "Miami Vice", that's for sure. "Poor old Tom, buying a bunch of useless junk," they said amongst themselves. "His poor wife", they whispered, "looks like that crazy Hunkie has finally gone off the deep end."
A funny thing happened, though. Just like the man who built a better mousetrap, Tom began building better Lyman parts, and doing better Lyman restorations as a result, and soon the Lyman world beat a path to his door. He was a wealth of information to boot. Pretty soon he was up to his ears in repair and restoration work, with customers willing to wait months, and sometimes a year or more in order to have Tom work on their boats. It continues to this day, which is the third decade for Koroknay's marine woodworking, and the third century for Lyman boats.
Tom's business operation is a true juxtaposition of boatbuilding eras. The wood shop is as old fashioned as the wood stove that heats the place during the blustery Richland county winters. True wood-chip and flannel shirt stuff, this. Not a crummy CAD-CAM machine or computer controlled five axis router in the joint. A place where a cold wood stove on a frosty morning makes the shop smoky, and your eyes a bit watery, for a while, and the pungent aroma of freshly planed Douglas fir seems to make the fresh black coffee actually taste a little better. Not a place, mind you, for liberal politicians, tree-huggers or anyone with the term "rights activist" in their job description. A place where you can smoke and spit and swear and nobody will holler at you, because they are all doing it, too. Not a place one would want to have the next Lillith Fair.
In contrast to Tom's shop, his office is a model of organization and efficiency. Chart tables full of original line drawings and blueprints of Lyman boats, next to a computer, scanner, fax machine and copier. Tom's Internet presence is as technically advanced as his boatbuilding shop is traditional. Because of Tom's work and planning, a Lyman enthusiast in Ohio, Maine, or even England for that matter, can log on to Tom's website, order an authentic part made from original factory patterns, pay by credit card on a secure link, and have everything shipped within 24 hours. All of which can only make life easier for those Lyman owners and enthusiasts out there, who are in search of a particular piece, part or finish necessary to keep their boats going for yet another season.
In addition to his boat shop and Internet site, Tom has established himself as the premier expert on the Lyman Boat Works, its history and the boats that they built for over a century. Tom's archival collection and knowledge have grown so considerable that he is in demand as a lecturer, his latest appearance having been at the world renowned Mariner's Museum in Newport News, Virginia.
Tom has also provided exhibits and technical information for the Great Lakes Historical Society's Inland Seas Museum, Vermilion, Ohio, The Sandusky Maritime Museum, Sandusky, Ohio, and the Thousands Islands Antique Boat Museum, Clayton N.Y., in addition to providing historical displays for the Mid-America Boat Show's Lyman exhibit. One of Tom's latest historical labors of love has been the complete restoration to original condition of what is suspected to be the last 1930 model Lyman reverse lapstrake Class C outboard racing runabout in the world.
For those of us for whom the shape, sound and smell of a vintage wooden Lyman is irresistible, a visit to Tom Koroknay's shop is a pilgrimage that should be considered a must. Call first, though, and make an appointment. I'm sure you'll be welcome, as long as you're not planning to hold the next Lillith Fair.

BRANFORD, Conn. - David Shawn Blitz passed away Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, after a courageous fight with cancer. David was born Nov. 13, 1960, in Queens, N.Y., the son of Sandy and Meri (Urano) Blitz.
Dave lived his life to the fullest. Dave read several newspapers each day, along with many magazines. He was an avid sports fan. As a young boy, when he came home from school every day, he would read the sports section to look at the boxscore of his beloved Mets. He had a book wherein he would write and calculate the averages of each player for the Mets every day. He did this until after he was married and until the newspapers did the calculating for him. He enjoyed his music too, especially the Rolling Stones. Dave earned his bachelor's degree from Southern Connecticut University and his master's in finance from the University of New Haven. This scholarly training held Dave in good stead. After a 25-year career in banking, he earned the love and respect of his banking colleagues, clients and public officials throughout the state of Connecticut. He culminated his career as the executive vice president, director of commercial banking in Farmington, Conn. David held many board positions in the community. Among them the board of directors of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce and the executive committee of the Soundview Family YMCA. Dave has received numerous awards and honors, including the Banknorth Sales Performance in 2003, 2004 and 2005; the U.S. Small Business Administration Eagle District Director Award, 2012; Charitable Leadership Award, 2006; and MS Corporate Achiever Award, 2004 and 2005.
David was predeceased by his mother, Meri Urano Blitz. In addition to his wife, Lita, and his daughters, Merissa and Jessica, David is survived by his father, Sandy and his wife, Mona; his brother, Michael and spouse, Deborah; sister, Darcy and spouse, Jeff; and brother, Jeffrey and wife, Zulma. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Phyllis Orlando; several brothers-in-law; uncle, Al and aunt, Olga, of Texas; aunt, Beverly and uncle, Ernie, of Florida; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. The family thanks and acknowledges Smilow Cancer Center at Yale-New Haven Hospital, Connecticut Hospice and Farmington Bank for all of their love and support throughout this trying time.
A memorial service will be held 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, at Congregation Beth El, 183 French St., Bangor, with a sharing of sustainance afterward. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made on behalf of his daughters to the Dave Blitz Scholarship Fund, care of Farmington Bank, 32 Main St., Farmington, CT 06032.

On the 15th, the Elephant Bar Restaurant was running one of their periodic "Two for $20" promotions so while we were out running errands that sounded like a good excuse to return to the one in West Covina for dinner.
Fresh brewed iced tea, $2.80
We arrived earlier than my normal so the hostess seated us right away. Shortly after, Amana came to take our drink orders. I was pleased to learn that they still have fresh brewed iced tea. She also explained our choices from the menu for the promotion. We could select one opener (appetizer) or one dessert plus two entrées.
Two for $20 Appetizer – Wok-Fired Chicken Lettuce Wraps
We liked their lettuce wraps the last time we went to the Elephant Bar Restaurant in La Mirada so decided to try them here in West Covina. They were delicious. The Elephant Bar's version tossed stir-fried minced chicken breast, water chestnuts and roasted cashews and toasted coconut shavings together. They accompanied them with fresh Vera Cruz salsa and marinated cucumbers.
The one thing we wish they would change though is the iceberg lettuce that they use. Iceberg is just too stiff. One of our other favorite themed restaurants uses bib lettuce, which is much more flexible so it makes a better wrap that actually holds the filling instead of dropping it through the cracked leaf.
Their tamarind macadamia nut sauce was deliciously sweet. We both loved the flavor of these wraps.
Entrée 1 – Orange Peel Chicken
This dish is one of the Elephant Bar Restaurant's Wok-Fired Specialties. They lightly batter the chicken then stir-fry in a zesty orange sauce with fresh orange peel. Dorothy was pleased that the batter really was thin. She liked the dish even though it was mildly hot. The other thing that delighted her was that her wok-fried vegetables were snow peas and broccolini. Dorothy chose white rice to go with this dish.
Entrée 2 – Korean Chicken and Kona BBQ Ribs
I ordered the Korean Chicken and Kona BBQ Ribs. They marinate the boneless chicken breast in their Korean BBQ sauce. The Kona BBQ Ribs are a signature wood-grilled dish. I got brown rice to go with this dish.
The ribs were fall off the bone tender. I enjoyed their Kona BBQ sauce which was mild and slightly sweet. The grilled chicken breast was a bit dry so I was grateful for the Korean BBQ sauce, which tasted like a teriyaki sauce. I also enjoyed the fact that the vegetables were grilled.
Hot Apple Blueberry Walnut Cobbler, $5.75
We decided to add the Hot Apple Blueberry Walnut Cobbler as dessert to our dinner. The Elephant Bar Restaurant serves this cobbler baked with blueberries and cinnamon-spiced apples topped with walnut butter streusel and vanilla ice cream. Dorothy prefers the ice cream on the side but humored me this time. It didn't last long enough to be a problem as the cobbler had wonderful flavor and a nice mix of textures thanks to the streusel.
We found this restaurant very comfortable with a pleasant jungle themed décor. I enjoy their touches as well as their menu which makes dining there a bit exotic. We also appreciated Amana's service. The portions were good sized too. Overall, it was a delightful experience.

WATCH: Eva Longoria Poses in Lingerie for GQ, Says Beauty Comes From 'Personality'
Eva Longoria may strip down to her skivvies in the December issue of GQ Mexico, but the actress hopes people find more than just her body attractive.
When asked about being widely considered one of the sexiest celebrities in the world, Longoria tells the magazine she "always" feels "flattered" by the designation, but goes on to explain there's more to her than meets the eye.
"I hope people perceive me as beautiful in everything I do in relation to works of charity and philanthropy or political activism," says the former "Desperate Housewives" star.
RELATED – Eva Longoria & Wilmer Valderrama Are "Hooking Up"?
She continues, "For me, those are the things that define beauty. The beauty lies mainly on personality, not on skin."
And with all those projects on her plate, Longoria say she doesn't "stop for a minute" — but that's just the way she likes it.
"My mother raised four daughters (one of whom has special needs), worked as a teacher and every day, at 6:00 pm, cooked dinner for my dad and for us, and every morning we also had the breakfast," explains Longoria.
She continues, "So I see my mother and think, 'I'm not doing enough.'"
Check out behind-the-scenes video of Longoria's GQ lingerie shoot below!

Pat Riley's plan: Leave last two spots open
The Heat now has guaranteed 13 contracts for the 2012-13 season.
Pat Riley said Wednesday that it could stay that way for a while.
His intention is to let the Heat's summer league participants — among them Terrel Harris, Justin Hamilton and Jarvis Varnado — compete for those two spots.
He did not, however, rule out adding a veteran down the road, after the free agent market settles.
Miami also could have the $2.9 …

Police: Man drunkenly breaks into home, passes out on couch
NORTH EAST - An Elkton man is facing charges after allegedly breaking into a stranger's home and falling asleep on the couch while drunk.
Ryan Michael Emig, 30, of the unit block of Old Chestnut Road is charged with first- and fourth-degree burglary and vandalism.
The charges stem from a Saturday incident in Cecil County.
Around 6:40 a.m. that day, Maryland State Police were called to the 600 block of Irishtown Road in North East.
When they arrived, troopers spoke with the homeowner who said his wife woke up and came downstairs to find someone asleep on their couch.
At first, she thought the person on the couch was a family member, but when she pulled the blanket off the person's head she realized it was a man she didn't know, state police said.
The residents also noticed the back door to the home was broken. They immediately contacted police.
The man, later identified as Emig, was still asleep on the couch when troopers arrived, according to police.
Emig told police he thought he was at a friend's house and couldn't remember what he was doing there.
Nothing was reported stolen from the home and Emig was arrested at the scene, police said.

my two year old is not talking yet
my son is two year old, and he is not talk yet. I have taking him to the doctor, and all they say is he is a normol two year old. there is not a problem with him. the babysitter says the some as i do, he is 6 months to 1 year behind. he can only make sounds. i know he is smart. he can put things together. i dont know what to do.
If the pediatrician is not concerned, then give you son more time. It is very common for boys to develop receptive language, being able to understand and/or respond to the words that are spoken to him, more quickly than expressive language, being able to speak words and/or phrases. If he is still not speaking by age 3, then he should be seen by a pediatric language specialist.

Recently I saw a coworker drop a pad of sticky notes in her purse. I know that I still have the pen that I took from the office supply cabinet at a job ten years ago. We take things that are not ours and rationalize it away as just a little thing. The problem is that we steal in so many other ways.
Probably the greatest theft of all is time. We steal time from our employers, family, and God. When we play a game or work on personal things at work that is theft. When we work too much and neglect our families or when we abandon them for other pursuit that is also theft. When we neglect our church and the social organizations it supports that is theft of time as well.
We are all given the same amount of time to use but in so many ways we are poor managers of that time. How many of us resolve to manage our time well? How often do we purpose and pursue the proper allocation of our time resource to the things that really matter? The theft of time seems like a minor thing until we lose our job, our family, or our faith because of not investing the time properly. Examine yourself Madison, and tell me what you think.

text: The Ministry of Communications has completed a study on the proposed construction of nearly 1,500 miles of rail, to be entirely financed by the private sector. The first phase of the project would be the 613 miles from Jeddah Islamic Port through Makkah to Riyadh, where it would join the existing network that goes to the Eastern Province. The second phase would begin at Al-Haditha on the Jordanian border in the north, in Al-Jouf Province, and pass through the provinces of Hail and Qassim, to link with the existing network at Riyadh, with a branch line to Jubail.

One of this year's most popular New Year's Resolutions is to "Go Green." This is not a new concept for most of us who live in Oregon, but it never hurts to be reminded of the small things you can do that make a big difference in using resources more wisely. Here are a few to start implementing into your daily routine:
- Turn off the faucet while brushing teeth to save water. And if you have a leaky faucet, by all means get it fixed! It might just be a small rubber gasket that has cracked. Small repair, big savings!
- Turn down the thermostat; if you're chilly, put on a sweater and slippers to stay warmer. Use draft blockers on windows and doors (which you can make out of recyclable materials!)
- Use cloth bags at the supermarket. If you must bring home your purchases in plastic bags, re-use them as trash bags in your kitchen and bathrooms.
- Walk or ride a bike where you can (hey, this will help you achieve or maintain your diet goals for 2010 too!)
- Re-use Christmas and birthday gift wrap as drawer liners, for crafts with the kids or as packing material for things that you ship (gifts, eBay purchases, etc.) throughout the year.
- Save your old newspapers and donate them to the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts. They can recycle them for fundraisers, or roll them and use them for kindling on campouts.
- Eat leftovers. It's easy to do if you plan your weekly menu to include leftovers. Cook a whole chicken for a nice family Sunday dinner, then use the rest of the chicken for chicken salad sandwiches, chicken pot pie, and lastly, chicken soup. Or plan a "Raid the Refrigerator" meal once a week. They kids love deciding what they want for dinner, and you'll throw away less food! (Hey, that saves money, too!).
- Turn your old clothes into something else: Shirts and pants become quilts; sweaters and socks become gloves; old socks make great puppets and draft blockers (see above). Old towels can be rags for the kitchen and shop.
- Investigate "green" cleaning supplies for your home. Use vinegar and baking soda instead of store-bought cleaners.
- Got a home improvement project you've been meaning to complete? Buy recycled building materials at Restore Habitat for Humanity in downtown Medford. It's a combination Good Will/Home Depot. You re-use doors, windows, light fixtures and more, you save money, and the money from your purchase helps build houses for the less fortunate. It's a win-win!

Serenade of the Seas, Royal Caribbean's third Radiance-class ship, was officially launched in New York last weekend. Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, serving her second stint as godmother for Royal Caribbean, presided over the traditional-smashing-of-champagne on Friday night in a private onboard ceremony.
The 90,090-ton, 2,100 passenger Serenade of the Seas was actually delivered to the cruise line on July 30 by German shipyard Meyer Werft after a "birthing period" that took 18 months. Prior to today's first official Canada sailing, Serenade has already logged two repositioning passenger voyages -- an Atlantic crossing from Amsterdam to Boston and a cruise from Boston to New York.
The ship is similar to its quite successful Radiance-class siblings, adhering to a philosophy that Jack Williams, president and chief operating officer of Royal Caribbean, describes as "if it's not broken...don't fix it." Passengers who are already familiar with predecessors Radiance of the Seas and Brilliance of the Seas will notice just one difference. That's a new facility for teens called "Fuel" -- which features a disco, soda and juice bar, music video area and computer terminals with Internet access. The "Fuel" concept is, at present, only found on other one ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet (the 140,000-ton Navigator of the Seas).
Otherwise, similarities to Radiance-class siblings include the Schooner Bar and Viking Crown lounges, Chops Grill and Portofino, the ship's alternative restaurants, and the more casual Seaview Cafe and Windjammer buffet. There is, of course, Royal Caribbean's ubiquitous rock-climbing wall, a gorgeous Bali-inspired solarium pool area, a 9-hole miniature golf course and a basketball court.
Size-wise, Serenade of the Seas just squeaks by in its Panama Canal measurements. Williams says the ship has a foot to spare on its port and starboard sides (and just fits lengthwise, at 960 feet long).
Serenade of the Seas will spend the fall sailing a schedule of four and five day trips to Canada from its Big Apple homeport before heading to San Juan this fall. There, Serenade of the Seas will sail an exotic Southern Caribbean itinerary, featuring ports of call including Antigua, Barbados and St. Lucia in addition to long-established favorites St. Thomas and St. Maarten.
The ship is the third in a series of what ultimately could be six Radiance-class vessels. Jewel of the Seas, the next to follow, is slated for a spring 2004 debut. Royal Caribbean has options on two more ships but has, as yet, not acted to place new orders. Those options expire at the end of this year.

Much noise has been raised about the recent Hobby Lobby decision (Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. et al., 573 U.S. _____ (2014)) by people who either have not read or have not understood the opinion of the court. This has been complicated further by similarly ill-informed noise about the subsequent Wheaton injunction (Wheaton College v. Burwell, 573 U.S. _____ (2014)), in which even the dissent seems to fail to grasp the point. Having carefully read the opinions in both cases, I hope to shed a bit of understanding on it.
The first point to make is what is not involved here. Hobby Lobby is not refusing to provide all contraceptive coverage in its health plan; it is objecting to four specific so-called contraceptives which are not contraceptive, that is, which do not prevent conception, but which by some definitions are abortofacient. All other FDA-approved contraceptives are and have been covered in its health plan. The Affordable Care Act does not make covering abortions mandatory; in fact, the law as passed does not contain any specific coverage of contraceptives at all--it includes a general rider requiring an administrative agency (bureaucrats) to determine what coverage is generally necessary for women's health, and that agency has identified twenty forms of such contraception. Four of those are controversial, opposed by many persons who define their action as causing spontaneous abortion. Further, the Court ruling that Hobby Lobby does not need to pay premiums for this coverage does not mean that their female employees will not have the coverage; the point is specifically made that religious non-profits have already been given a means of being exempted from paying for the coverage, and Health and Human Services has a system in place specifically to provide such coverage to employees of such corporations, easily extended to cover cases like this one.
The contraception problem is definitional here, so we need some definitions. Conception occurs when a spermatozoon penetrates an ovum; at that point all the genetic material for a human being is organized, and growth begins. Within hours this single-celled zygote becomes a multi-celled morula, and by the fourth day it is a sphere of cells called a blastocyst. Generally when it is six days old it will find the uterine wall, where implantation occurs. This begins changes in the chemistry of the mother's body, but present technology cannot detect these prior to the tenth day; the child becomes an embryo by day fourteen, and during its eighth week it becomes what we call a fetus. Some of these words are used more generally, but they are simply stages in development not different from distinguishing an infant from a toddler or an adolescent from an adult--somewhat arbitrary but based on definable characteristics.
The problem with these four birth control methods (the best known being the "morning after pill" and the "intra-uterine device" or I.U.D.) is that they do little to prevent conception; nor do they interfere with the early development of the child for the first week--up until the point where implantation should occur. These technologies prevent implantation, thus preventing the child from connecting to the vital source of nourishment that will enable it to develop into an embryo and leaving it to die--much as seeds sometimes sprout in packages but absent earth or water wither and die. Health and Human Services argues that they are not abortofacient because an abortion requires separating the child from the uterine wall after implantation, and these methods prevent implantation from occurring. Obviously, though, if you believe that the zygote is a human child, preventing implantation is as much killing the child as locking an infant in a room without food and allowing it to starve to death. We can argue that the blastocyst feels nothing, and therefore we are not being cruel, but it is still killing a human life, given these assumptions.
Of course, not everyone agrees with that assessment. It is the law in these United States that if you are pregnant and wish not to be, you can "terminate the pregnancy", ending the life of the child because it is not deemed to be a human life yet. Some health care plans will cover that through several months of pregnancy. Yet we also recognize that some people regard that to be killing children, and they ought not be required to be involved in the process, such as by paying the medical bills of someone who has decided to do so.
The owners of Hobby Lobby hold such a view. That is, they regard the prevention of implantation as the equivalent of murdering a child. They further argue that requiring them to include in their employee health insurance coverage money to pay for such procedures makes them accomplices to the murder. We might analogize it to requiring a company to maintain a fund for employees to use to cover the costs of hiring criminal assassins when they wish to eliminate problematic family members--the owners of the company might well be perceived as accessories to murder in such a scenario, and even though in this case the killing is legal, the employers believe it to be immoral.
The problem of course is that Hobby Lobby is a rather large corporation employing hundreds of thousands nationwide; yet it is what in law is called a "close corporation" or "C Corp", having a very limited number of stockholders in this case all members of one family and one church. There are not hundreds of stockholders, but perhaps a score; and the corporation itself has a statement of faith as part of its charter documents. The dissent argues that corporations exist for no purpose but to make money, but the court's opinion argues credibly that corporations can be organized for any purpose, and the purpose of conducting business in accordance with the principles of a religious view is not excluded from that. For a non-controversial example, Hebrew National exists to produce food products which accord with the dietary rules ("kosher") of Judaism, and so produces no pork or shellfish products.
The opinion also suggests that the system already in place to provide such services to the employees of religious non-profit corporations would preserve the government's interest and protect the religious interests of Hobby Lobby--in other words, that the government already has a means of providing these services for employees whose employers object on religious grounds, and extending it to cover cases such as this one costs little and preserves the religious interests of the employers. That system suggests that insurers will provide, under separate coverage, free contraceptive services to women not covered for these under their employee health plans, and that doing so will save them money--after all, even a thousand dollars to cover an I.U.D. is a fraction of the medical costs of a pregnancy. Since Health and Human Services can easily provide the coverage it deems necessary without requiring the conscientious objectors to pay for it, Hobby Lobby ought to be excused from doing so.
The Wheaton case is about a different issue, and so was decided differently based on that issue following from the same rationale. We will cover the logic involved and address that case next week.
