Using Deadly Force
I know that my home state has some variation of the "castle doctrine" as law when it comes to defending ones property. I was wondering of anyone knew if that meant you had the right to protect your property if it was located on public land. for example what if someone carjacks me at gun point at a stoplight. since their gun is pointed at my head the entire time i don't have a chance to draw on them during the first part of the confrontation. but then after i get out and they prepare to make off with my vehicle do i have the right to gun them down even if they are no longer threatening me?

I don't know either the letter nor the spirit of your state's law, but I would have to opine that it would be a crap-shoot as far as your defense since you indicate that there is a decline in threat level. To, basically, react 'post crime' while the booger is departing in your car (and you are now out of immediate danger) would come real close to vigilante-ism... wouldn't it? In my state, a lot of weight is given to the 'Reasonable Person Rule' as in, "What would a reasonable person do?" Study your state's laws and better yet- refer to the instructors of your state's CCW programs, it doesn't cost anything and knowledge is your friend.

Although the "Castle Doctrine" usually extends to cars and motel rooms, you'd be hard-pressed to defend shooting a fleeing BG. For a CWP holder to shoot, there MUST be: opportunity, ability, and intent. Our state law says an "imminent fear of life or severe bodily injury." If a BG is running or driving away - unless they're shooting at you as they flee, you can't shoot.
That being said, one of our local sheriffs said, "If a person breaks into your home, you may assume they're there to harm you, not to just rob you - and you may act accordingly."
It's a fine line, and a good lawyer can wrangle "defense of property" into "defense of life". However, forensics can beat that. They'll KNOW if you shot the guy in the back as he was fleeing. Then you're up S*** ceek.
My advice? Let him go - property is not worth the hassle you'll be in. That's what you carry insurance forr.

As Keltyke said, the law varies, check your state. Here's the relevant section of the Indiana code.
The way I read it, and this is a lay opinion, you may use deadly force only if the vehicle is occupied and you are trying to prevent entry or terminate an attack.
Do not rely on that as legal advice.
I know I sure wouldn't shoot, and I wouldn't want to have it put to the reasonable person test if I had done so.

You are virtually never justified in firing at a fleeing suspect, even police don't shoot fleeing car thieves. There are exceptions in some states for shooting someone you have WITNESSED committing a violent felony (murder or rape), with the emphasis on violence having actually occurred. Even in castle doctrine states you can't just blast away at someone who is running away. For instance, you find someone inside your door and as you raise your gun they run outside. If you shoot now your probably going to jail.

The time and expense of loosing a car and wallet pales compared to the legal fees and court time.
As someone better than me said "Your firearm is an emergency tool."
A lost car is not an emergency !

The only reason to shoot someone is because they're doing something RIGHT THEN!! that can't be tolerated. That generally means a violent felony.
Rape, assault, attempted murder, kidnapping all qualify. Running down your driveway with your TV doesn't qualify. Looking through the window at your naked girlfriend doesn't qualify.
Someone coming toward you in the dark inside your home qualifies in most states. Just hope it isn't a drunk 16 year old who got lost and stumbled in through the front door you forgot to lock.

I've got $1000 deductible on my car. That would buy less than 4 hours of an attorney's time.
My gun is to protect me and mine. Stuff can be replaced.

Just make sure you shoot the carjacker while you're still in the car, and he's still trying to commit the crime.

In the end, we all have to live by our own ethics.
Mine tell me that I won't kill someone unless it's unavoidable. I wouldn't shoot a car jacker after the fact unless he was shooting at me while he drove away. Just like I wouldn't shoot by default if someone was in my house even if the law said I could.

You could
A call your insurance company, pay a deductable and some higher rates, or
B Have a blood splattered car that will be taken in as evidence, not be able to get anything from your insurance company to get a new car, lose your gun and probably ccw. oh, and the whole murder trial thing.
I'd call lojack on the dude instead, he won't even know what hit him when he gets pulled over for the felony stop

And it's threads like this one that make me visit this and other boards less and less frequently. It always seems like somebody's posting about how badly they really want to shoot someone else, basically just to do it.
No wonder we haven't cleaned out all of the terrorists in Iraq yet. All of the wanna-be killers are still in the US posting on the internet.
Fortunately this board does have a large number of sensible folks, and you can see that in this thread too. All hope is not lost.

Stagger Lee there is no terrorists in Iraq FYI, just a religious civil war with our army in the middle. terrorists come for Saudi Arabia, and fill in the blank a-stan. however I agree with the rest of your statement. I generally do not read the tactics and training section of any forum because the posts are not about either tactics or training 90% of the time

I don't think that I would even think about shooting someone AFTER they carjacked me. I'm guessing that a lot of the reasons people have such a "want to shoot" attitude is frustration with the criminal justice system. I would be willing to bet the farm that most would not be inclined to shoot anyone unless they feared for their life or that of a loved one.....and from the way some talk, even that would not happen. It's easier and better for the board to let guys blow off a little steam then to get into what Capt. Charlie calls "a urination competition" (something that he accused me of)

Here's the problem with this thread (and many others like it).
The original question assumes the BG is only interested in taking your car, and that you know he only wants to take your car.
In a real life situation you may not know that's all the BG wants. You don't know what the BG is willing to do to you to take your car. You don't know if the BG is a case of road rage wanting to shoot you or beat you senseless. You don't know anything other than a guy is approaching your car with a gun. You won't know that he only wants your car until he drives off and leaves you behind. You can only assume he intends to hurt you.
What if your kids or your wife is in the car and he takes you out of the car?
I wouldn't shoot if the guy is driving off with my car, ESPECIALLY if I have family in the car. However, if he has a gun and he's getting into my car but hasn't driven off yet, and I'm able to access my gun, I might shoot him before he starts driving.
Things to think about:
1) You are always responsible for your bullets and their destruction. If you shoot at a moving vehicle, what else or whom else might you hit?
2) If the carjacker is struck with the bullet and unable to control the vehicle. You then have a deadly weapon out of control moving down the road. You may be responsible for the damage the vehicle causes.

I am inclined to shoot because an armed and dangerous person is on the loose who very well may hurt someone else.
A poster on another thread said he was confronted by a guy with a shotgun. He drew his pistol in response but never fired and the shotgun BG took off in his own vehicle. Later the shotgun BG murdered someone else.
I know we're not (or I'm not) talking about being LEOs, but if an attacker has a gun out, you can only assume he's means to hurt you. You aren't safe from him until the BG is gone. Just because he's now in the car doesn't mean you are out of danger. What if he intends to shoot the witness?

Once they are driving away I think a reasonable person has to say "I guess he WAS just after the car."

If the guy is driving away and is no longer a threat, why shoot?

Because he is still in the commission of a violent felony against you, a person, and some people believe in using Deadly Force to prevent that from happening to them.
Let's use your logic. You come home and a man is raping your wife. I guess you could not use Deadly Force because, hey, he's already raped her and she can't be unraped. You have nothing to gain other than getting even, right? And if you shoot him instead of letting him finish raping her, then you'll just have attorney's fees, time lost due to court, etc. You should not interfere and just let him finish, then shoo him away and let the police catch him later.
Carjacking is NOT a property crime, no matter how anyone tries to spin it. It's Robbery (in this case, Aggravated Robbery because of the gun), which is a crime against a person...the same as Sexual Assault, Murder, etc. And a completely different animal than Car Theft, which is a property crime.
Disclaimer- ***I am not saying if he's already taken your car and is driving away, then you should start shooting. GP said if the guy had a gun and was still getting into his car, then he MIGHT shoot.

Sorry, Hondo, but your example is entirely unrelated.
Yes, if someone is pointing a gun at me, whether he wants my wallet, car, or to kill me, I am in immediate danger of death or grave bodily injury. I am fully within my rights to resist using lethal force. Once that threat is over, in most states I can no longer use deadly force.
From a practical standpoint, if the guy is still getting into my car, but his gun is no longer pointed at me, I'm running for cover. If the guy is getting into my car but his gun is still pointed at me, I have the choice of doing nothing (and hoping he doesn't kill me), drawing against an already drawn gun (and hoping I beat his shot), or running away.
Btw, many states consider rape to be grave bodily injury, and the use of deadly force is justified to stop it. Besides, rape is generally done with the expressed or implied threat of death or grave bodily injury.

MMMmmm, maybe. In most places you'd have to show that you considered yourself to be in imminent danger of death or grievous injury. The "type" of crime doesn't matter per say, so much as were you in immediate danger of death or life-threatening injury. Sure, with some crimes risk of death or injury is implied in the event but I don't think you'd win a case saying a car jacker was going to kill you simply because stealing your car is an indication your about to be killed. As I said above, gun pointed in your direction, your probably clear to shoot, otherwise it's going to be a tough case.

All Oregon libraries are welcome to link to Answerland. The easiest thing to do is to simply link to our front page, www.answerland.org.
It is helpful to describe what Answerland does in terms that library users understand.
Get help 24/7 from Answerland
Ask a librarian at Answerland
Order and download promotional materials.
Become a Partner with Answerland
It's free
There is no cost to helping to answer questions with Answerland, but partner library staff give their time, both to attend training and to deliver the service. Libraries must also install our chat software in order to participate.
Please note
In July of 2015 we will be switching to new software, and much of the information below will no longer apply. Further details can be found on the transition page.
Libraries helping with the chat service commit to answering questions for at least one hour per week. All partner libraries help with our email service as well, answering local, subject-specific or general questions from patrons.
We ask that all staff answering questions commit to one full day of hands-on training. We are happy to come to your location for the event. The training covers our chat software, text messaging software, email software, and instruction on techniques for communicating effectively online with patrons and providing reference services online.
Libraries helping with the email service need only a connection to the internet and a web browser.
Libraries helping with the chat service need to be able to install and run the SparkRef instant messaging program.
- Download SparkRef from www.answerland.org/spark for Linux, Macintosh or Windows

Next steps
Contact us to tell us you want to help answer questions on Answerland.
One of Answerland's goals is to help Oregon libraries provide virtual reference service. One of the ways we do this is to offer our chat software tools free for you to use at your library.
A best practice is to make chat reference service convenient and easy to use. Many libraries use chat "widgets", which usually feature a simple form or button to begin chat, and which can be embedded in a library website or used in a small pop-up window.
Examples of successful Answerland Local Queues
Eugene Public Library - look for a button for or link to chat on the library home page, on every sub-page and in the library catalog. Chat is ubiquitous and clicking opens a new window.
Portland State University - look the chat icon in the navigation near the top of each page. PSU also puts chat in their course management software. Chat is everywhere a patron might need help. Clicking opens a small pop-up window.
University of Portland - the 'get help' page features an embedded chat widget. Chat is not on every page, but librarians emphasize this one when they are talking to students.
Technical requirements
Libraries using Answerland's chat software need to be able to install and run the SparkRef instant messaging program on local computers.

Tulane will open the 2012 NCAA East Regional on Thursday at State College, Pa.
May 9, 2012
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane's 35th-ranked golf team will open postseason play this week as part of the 24-team field at the 2012 NCAA East Regional at the Penn State Blue Course in State College, Penn. The three-day event will take place, Thursday-Saturday, May 10-12, and the top eight teams and two individuals from each of the three regional sites will advance to the NCAA Championships.
The first round will get underway on Thursday at 6:30 a.m. CST. The Green Wave will be paired with golfers from the University of Washington and the University of Texas and will start from the 10th tee. Senior Samantha Troyanovich will be the first to tee for TU, followed by classmates Stephanie Wagstaff and Ashley McKenney, while freshman Gemma Dryburgh and junior Maribel Lopez Porras round out the Wave line-up.
"We're obviously excited to be back in regional play for the fourth straight season, which is now every year since the program was re-launched," Tulane head coach Andrew Pratt said, "We finished up final exams and everyone is rested and playing well right now. The important thing for us this week is to play our own game. We need to get off to a good start and follow it up with solid rounds on the second and third day. We need to be mentally tough and be prepared to grind these rounds out. Par is a very good score in postseason. I look for us to play solid and make a run toward to the national championships."
The par-72, 6,253-yard Penn State Blue Course will host a field that features eight, Top-25 squads and 16 total teams are ranked among the nation's Top-50, according to Golfstat.com.
Tulane is making its ninth appearance in the NCAA Regionals, including its eighth in the NCAA East Regional field, but its first since 2010. Last year, the Wave participated in the NCAA Central Region.
Since the program was re-instated in 2008-09, TU has participated in NCAA postseason play in each of the four seasons. Tulane has advanced to the NCAA Championships in each of its last two appearances in the NCAA East Region, including 2009 (Gainesville, Fla.) and 2010 (Greenville, N.C.).
The national championships will be held May 22-25 at the Vanderbilt Legends Club in Franklin, Tenn., and will be hosted by Vanderbilt University, Nashville.

If you are a fan of reality TV, you may have watched "The Hills." It was one of the first reality shows but now more news keeps coming out proving that it was more like scripted reality. There wasn't much about it that was real. On Friday, E! Online shared that Brody is saying the two never really dated. It was all for the television show.
Brody was on his podcast talking about who he has dated in the past. Lauren's name was brought up and he said it was false they never dated. He went on to explain a lot more about it to his fans.
He said, "Lauren and I have always been just friends. We worked together on a show called "The Hills" where we had to pretend like we were dating but we never dated." If you watched the show, they really played it up like a real relationship on and off the screen. It has to make you wonder how many other relationships are out there like that right now.
He did admit he really dated Kristin Cavallari though, saying, "I dated Kristin when we were very young, when she was on Laguna Beach and I was on a show called Princes of Malibu with Spencer Pratt…we met at a party in Hollywood…but during [The Hills] when we filmed, Kristin and I did not date, we were not hooking up."
It looks like "The Hills" thought that Brody Jenner and Lauren Conrad would be a great couple. They were good together but it was all for show. At least it sounds like they were able to get along with each other pretty well. They both moved on just fine from each other and the show "The Hills."

Four-year-old Myls Dobson was abused and tortured for weeks in a Hell's Kitchen luxury high rise apartment before he died on Jan. 8. The NYPD, responding to a 911 call from Myls' babysitter, found the little boy unconscious and in a bathtub at The Ritz Plaza in mid-town Manhattan on Wednesday.
He "was covered in cigarette burn marks all over his body and had lacerations on his arms, legs and genitals," according to The Huffington Post.
In addition to bruises covering most of his little body, one of Myls' front teeth had also been knocked out.
Myls was transported to Roosevelt Hospital where he died soon after arrival.
Last month when Myls' father, 37-year-old Okee Wade, was arrested and jailed for "skipping a court appearance in New Jersey on fraud charges," Wade asked his girlfriend, Janaie Jones, 37, to take care of his son.
It was the girlfriend who confessed to police that she had beat Myls for days until the little boy died.
Jones said she was just trying to discipline the 4-year-old when she told police, "I was giving him corporal punishment. I was trying to control him."
Originally though, Jones told police that the boy had just fallen in the tub.
Jones — who went by the stage name Kryzie King — told police Wednesday that she left Dobson alone in the bathroom and heard a "thud," police said. When she went inside, she claimed she saw the boy lying unconscious in a bathtub, police said.
Jones said she burned Myls, and beat him with belts and hangers beginning on Dec. 28, 2013. She also confessed to keeping the little boy locked up and alone in the bathroom for long, extended periods of time.
Bill Bratton, NYPD Commissioner, described Myls' condition as "tragic and horrific."
"The briefing I had this morning provided, in addition to some very horrific pictures, some detail based on the investigation of what that young boy had been forced to deal with for several days. I won't go into more specifics than that," Bratton said at a police promotion ceremony in Queens, adding the child endured "horrific injuries over a period of days."
The Daily News reported that there were other loving and caring family members that could have taken care of Myls; but Myls' dad instead opted to choose "a woman who beat the boy with a belt, making sure the buckle struck his head."
On the last day of his tragic life, the preschooler asked to go to McDonald's. Instead, he was beaten and locked in a bathroom.
Myls had previously lived with his mother, Ashlee Dobson, in S.C. But Ashlee Dobson lost custody of her son after being charged with child neglect.
It was Ashlee Dobson who had the grim task of identifying her four-year-old son's remains on Thursday.
"Why? Why? Why?" Myls' mother, Ashlee Dobson, 29, asked when she first saw his brutalized body, according to her lawyer. "How could this happen?"
For more on the tragic tale of Myls Dobson, see the video accompanying this article.

What you can do
Puget Sound needs our help.
Besides the 2,800 square miles of inland marine waters that make up the Sound, there are 549 streams, rivers and lakes across the Puget Sound region impaired by poor water quality.
More than 60 percent of water pollution comes from things like cars leaking oil; fertilizers and pesticides from farms, lawns and gardens; faulty and aging septic systems; pet waste; and fuel spills from recreational boaters.

Shiitake Helps Recover Exercise-Induced Skeletal Muscle Damage?
The active agent that gives the shiitake mushroom its antioxidant properties is L-ergothioneine. Because of the shiitake mushrooms' antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and regenerative characteristics, researchers at the University School of Physical Education in Poland set out to discover the effect of these activities on healthy men with exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage.
A common ingredient found in the culinary dishes of Asia, shiitake mushrooms, are also used as a form of alternative medicine for cancer patients and as prevention for ailments such as influenza, West Nile virus and bacterial infections.
Scientific studies have shown that shiitake mushrooms have antibacterial properties that can enhance functioning of the immune system and even help prevent cavities. However, the researchers in Poland report that their study is the first to study the antioxidant role of ergothioneine in human subjects for skeletal muscle damage.
Researchers A. Zembron-Lacny, M. Gajewski, M. Naczk and I. Siatkowski believe that shiitake has the ability to regulate hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide and cytokine levels after a period of intense exercise, alleviating the effects of muscle damage through skeletal muscle regeneration.
For the crossover experiment, 14 healthy males participated. Two times a day for 10 days before the exercise trial, the participants were to ingest 700 mg of shiitake mushroom extract or a placebo. The exercise session consisted of a 90-minute run and a 15-minute eccentric phase on a treadmill. Blood samples were taken before and after exercise.
The effect of shiitake on skeletal muscle damage after prolonged exercise
After evaluating various plasma levels, the researchers found no difference in effect between shiitake and placebo on cytokine activity and immune cells number after exercise. This suggests that shiitake does not help recovery by skeletal muscle regeneration. However, the antioxidant properties of shiitake were supported with a reduction in oxidized glutathione level and increase of thiol redox status.
Overall, the findings show shiitake does not affect the inflammatory response after prolonged exercise, but the mushroom is able to regulate levels of nitric oxide and thiol redox status using antioxidant action.
The scientists believe that the study's inability to show shiitake's inflammatory activities may be due to the low amount of ergothioneine in the treatment extract, so they suggest trials should be conducted with a more concentrated dose.

Meningitis Case Total Rises: 119 Infected, 11 Dead
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on October 09, 2012 @ 8:15PM
Created on October 09, 2012 @ 2:39PM
(CBS NEWS) Fungal meningitis has infected 119 Americans, killing 11, according to newly released data from the Centers and Disease Control and Prevention. The infection has now been reported in 10 states, one more than previous estimates.
On Monday health officials had announced 105 people were infected in nine states, including eight deaths. A ninth death was then reported late Monday by a Nashville, Tenn., hospital. Health officials also said Monday that up to 13,000 people received the steroid shots that have been considered a likely source behind the infections.
States with reported infections of fungal meningitis include Florida (four cases), Indiana (12 cases), Maryland (eight cases including one death), Michigan (25 cases including three deaths), Minnesota (three cases), North Carolina (two cases), Ohio (one case), Tennessee (39 cases including six deaths) Virginia (23 cases including one death) and, the newest addition to the list, New Jersey (one case).
The outbreak is tied to methylprednisolone acetate steroid injections made by specialty pharmacy New England Compounding Center. After contaminants were discovered in an unopened vial during an inspection at the Framingham, Mass., facility, three lots of single-dose vials of the steroid that were sent to 76 facilities in 23 U.S. states -- in total 17,676 vials -- were recalled.
States that received injections include: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas and West Virginia.
The company, which mixes medications and is not subject to the same FDA approval as a pharmaceutical company that manufactures drugs, expanded its recall Saturday to include all other products the company manufactures. The company is licensed in all 50 states.
Fungal meningitis is not contagious, health officials note. The disease can be treated with high-dose intravenous antifungal medications. The earlier people get treated, the more likely they are to have better outcomes, officials said.
The source of the fungus has not yet been identified, and the cause of infections in the other patients is still being assessed, according to the CDC.
Infected patients have reported mild symptoms, including slight weakness, slightly worsened back pain or even a mild headache, the CDC said. Patients have had symptoms generally starting from one to four weeks after receiving the injection. Several patients also suffered strokes that are believed to have been caused by the infection.
Those who had an epidural steroid injection since May 21 should contact their doctor as soon as possible if they are experiencing the previously mentioned symptoms in addition to fever, sensitivity to light, stiff neck, slurred speech or increased pain and redness at the injection site. Concerned patients could also check with their doctor if they have any questions on the type of medication used in their procedure.
Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist who has been tracking the outbreak at the Vanderbilt University Hospital, told the CBS Evening News that the majority of people who received probably won't get sick.
"If there is a silver lining, it's that apparently many people were inoculated but the attack rate is very small," he said. "It's really about 1 percent or less.

Mui Ne, Vietnam: A Photo Essay - Page Two
We woke with the sun in Mui Ne and walked for miles on the beach, which we had mostly to ourselves.
After our beach combing, we'd lounge and gaze at the horizon. Eventually, the sun would get the better of us, and we'd head for a dip. The waves were pretty rough and we were glad for our collective comfort with the water.
While the mornings were calm and tranquil, the wind began to whip every afternoon, kicking up sand and making the lounge chairs on the beach a little less pleasant. But a fair number of Mui Ne's tourists relish the typically windy afternoons.
Sporty, sun-kissed surfer-types slip into wetsuits, hook up their bodies to parachutes, and head into the high waves for an adrenalin-pumped version of kite sailing.
After two days of all-inclusive, resort-style vacationing, we figured we should get out of our swimsuits and see the world beyond the gates. A Jeep whisked us from the hotel strip and dropped us off at a red river. The driver pointed up the river, dug out a brochure from his pocket and pointed to a picture of a waterfall. We were to walk up the river and find this sight. We rolled up our pants, hopped in the water and were surprised to find it wasn't very deep.

George M. Pullman's road to success led him to locations throughout the nation. The West and the Far West provided him with opportunities to make the dream forming in his head to come true. He first had more to learn from his father Lewis.
In 1848, Pullman returned to Albion from Brocton and his great uncle's general store to learn cabinetmaking from his father. His brothers Henry and Albert also returned to work in the family cabinetry business. Five years later, Lewis died, and George managed the business at the age of 22. George contracted with the state of New York to move twenty buildings away from the Erie Canal. He realized that this contract would end so he needed to find more work.
George Pullman saw an advertisement in a local newspaper that Chicago needed contractors to lift entire blocks and buildings to make way for a modern sewage system. It seems Chicagoans were tired of the mud, floods and cholera that plagued their city. Since Pullman was experienced with this kind of work, he moved to Chicago in 1857. He initially worked with a man named Moore, and eventually all the contractors decided to work together.
Bostonian James Brown and Chicago engineer James Hollingsworth and the company of Pullman, Moore, Ely and Smith raised up the entire block of Lake Street, between Clark and La Salle Streets, six feet for $17,000. They lifted hotels during the daytime with guests in residence and many other buildings and blocks. They used massive timbers and screwjacks. Sewer pipes were laid and covered with landfill. The entire project was a huge success.
After Chicago was lifted, George Pullman was off to the Colorado Gold Rush.

College Hockey:Boston College's title defense dependent on growth of its defense
There is a lot of buzz as the 2012-13 campaign kicks off for the defending national champion Boston College Eagles. BC returns a solid piece of its core group from a season ago led by goaltender Parker Milner.
But as often happens with a national champ, the Eagles were hit hard with players leaving early for the NHL. Both forward Chris Kreider and defenseman Brian Dumoulin inked pro deals, with Kreider fitting in extremely well with the New York Rangers during their playoff run a season ago.
"Every year is different," BC coach Jerry York said. "You lose hopefully good seniors who contribute a lot, and the way it is now with the NHL, you're going to lose some underclassmen."
The biggest losses for the Eagles likely came on the blue line. In addition to Dumoulin's early departure, BC graduated Tommy Cross and Edwin Shea on defense, which will translate to a lot of inexperience at that position for the Eagles.
"Defense is our one area we have to shore up," York said. "With Cross and Edwin Shea graduating, with Brian Dumoulin leaving early, those are three defensemen who played an awful lot for us.
"We'll probably dress three or four freshmen on defense this year. As they mature, it will make our team a lot better."
If there is one player that the spotlight will be on, it's sophomore Johnny Gaudreau. A year ago, Gaudreau earned USCHO's national all-rookie honor after playing a key role in leading the Eagles to their third national title in five years.
BC also will lean heavily on seniors Steven Whitney and Pat Mullane, both of whom had breakout seasons a year ago.
The Eagles also will return goaltender Milner who in three seasons has led the Eagles to two national titles.
"The offense will be a big plus for us and goaltending will be a big plus for us," York said. "Let's get through the defense here for a while and see what happens."
If the defense is going to be bolstered by the rookies, it will be Michael Matheson, a first-round pick in last June's NHL draft, who can lead the way. Standing 6-foot-2, his 189-pound frame may need to fill out, but his skills are touted as some of the best in the game.
"Usually those first-rounders are good recruits," York laughed. "He's certainly going to have an impact on us this year. He skates very well and has good composure. I think he'll turn out to be everything we thought he would be."
If the pieces of the puzzle come together, you have to believe this is a BC team that can join the likes of Minnesota in 2003 and Denver in 2005 as repeat national champs.
About the Eagles
2011-12 overall record: 33-10-1
2011-12 Hockey East record: 19-7-1 (first)
2012-13 predicted finish: Jim: first; Dave: first
Key losses: F Chris Kreider, D Brian Dumoulin, F Barry Almeida
Players to watch: F Steven Whitney, F Johnny Gaudreau, G Parker Milner
Impact rookie: D Michael Matheson
Why the Eagles will finish higher than predicted: Can't get any higher than first!
Why the Eagles will finish lower than predicted: The Eagles present a very young defense that could make goaltender Parker Milner work extra hard.

Rose Spoon Pendant with Garnet by metalsmittenWatch

This used to be part of a spoon! Rose-themed pendant with wee garnet in sterling silver.

More photos/for sale here: [link]
Though I wish the top was curved out, this is still a lovely pendent, and the garnet echoes the color of the flower itself.
lol, you and your curved tops what do you mean by "curved out" though? i'm not sure i know what you mean
I mean that the top should be... Convex, I think the word is.
it kind of is, if you include the bail ring haha. this is one of the challenges of working with the spoons though, i can't always do the shape i want because the design on the handle won't work with it. =/ c'est la vie
Ooh that's so nice! And how creative to make this from a spoon, awesome idea
I love that the back is beautiful too and your model looks very sweet wearing it. Gah, if I had the money lol...
I'll tell her you said so!
Lol, ok! Hmm maybe I should bribe my daughter to start modeling things for me. I'm sure not gonna model my own things!
you could i really like having a live model, i find it really helps people to get an idea for sense of scale and how the piece looks when worn. & while i wouldn't mind modeling my own pieces, per se, it's just too annoying for me to try to take decent self-portraits.
Awwww so pretty!

Overall, the training on this DVD is no better than tutorials that other users create for free and post on YouTube. Save your money and search around the internet for tutorials and just experiment with the tutorials that come with FumeFX. This product is not worth the cost.

|A lot of useful info but the instructor doesn't go as step by step as one should in a tutorial, often times clicking on different tabs and adjustments to where the user has to often pause and go back to simply see what was clicked on, etc. You can tell the instructor knows his stuff but it'd be nice if he'd slow down, explain what he's doing and what each setting does.

Greek Life Task Force
SUNY Potsdam Greek Life Task Force Final Report Overview
February 6, 2014
Greek Life has more than 100 years of history at the College, and the Greek Life Task Force feels that there continues to be a place for Greek organizations at SUNY Potsdam into the 21st century. However, in order for Greek organizations to continue and thrive, change is needed. This change needs to be swift and significant, and must be embraced by all stakeholders: active Greeks, Greek alumni, College administrators, faculty and staff. In addition, stakeholders must work together to improve communication. Opening the lines of communication will increase everyone's ability to trust, and will help to eliminate the rumors, speculation and assumptions that appear to be at the heart of many of the problems that were brought to the attention of the task force.
To read the full report, please click here.
Overall findings showed that:
- A deep mistrust exists between College administration and the Greek community,
- Greeks continue to engage in problematic behavior,
- There is a lack of adequate human and financial resources,
- The Greek community is not well integrated into the College and campus culture,
- Campus and local communities have a largely negative view of Greeks and Greek Life, and
- Banned Greek organizations are exacerbating current problems.
The task force's general recommendations are:
- Greeks must take responsibility for their actions and behaviors, and reevaluate and reaffirm their vision and values, as members of the Potsdam community.
- Systems and processes must be put in place to empower Greeks, and nurture a culture of accountability and self-governance. Increased alumni involvement is essential to success.
- Greeks must work with the College to develop more oversight into activities within their organizations and houses.
- The College should allocate more human and financial resources to Greek Life.
- The College and the Greek community must work together to educate the campus and local communities about Greeks and promote their contributions.
- Greeks should be better integrated into campus culture.
- The campus and active Greeks must work together to eliminate banned organizations.
Selected recommendations:
·The College should:
- Establish a permanent Greek Life Advisory Board,
- Allocate more resources to Campus Life / Greek Affairs office,
- Review current judicial processes,
- Provide additional training for active Greek leaders, alumni and advisors, and
- Encourage the expansion of the Greek community.
·Greek organizations should:
- Reaffirm their values and vision,
- Decrease incidents of hazing and conduct code violations,
- Work to change negative stereotypes about Greek through good PR and positive behavior, and
- Change the current culture of secrecy into one of openness and integrity.
·The campus and Greek organizations should work together to:
- Create opportunities for Greeks to be involved in campus activities as Greeks,
- Promote positive messages about the Greek community, both on- and off-campus, and
- Work together to mitigate the impact of banned Greek organizations.
The task force knows that its proposals and recommendations will involve much work. The task force members are hopeful that all stakeholders, with their abiding love for SUNY Potsdam, will do what is necessary to ensure significant and meaningful change that will enable Greek Life to thrive and the College to prosper, as we enter the next century of Potsdam excellence.
A campus forum to discuss the final report will be organized in the Spring 2014 semester. In addition, a Greek Life information session with task force members will be held during Reunion Weekend 2014.
Please direct any questions or feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Felicia Espericueta
Feb. 12, 2013
Felicia Espericueta shot a 73 in the final round of the Lady Puerto Rico Classic to place 11th as the SMU Mustangs finished in a tie for ninth on Tuesday.
The event was the first for the Mustangs during the spring season, and the team now has a good focus on what they need to improve upon to have a shot at the Conference USA title.
"It shows us where our game is," Head Coach Jeanne Sutherland said. "It's a good first event for the spring. We battled pretty well, and we have a lot to take from it."
Espericueta played consistently over the final two rounds, shooting just one-over par on Monday and Tuesday combined.
"She was pretty solid the whole tournament," Sutherland said of Espericueta. "She hit the ball well all three rounds and played fairly mistake-free golf."
The tournament was hosted by No. 9 Purdue at the Rio Mar Beach Resort. The course played as a par-72, 6,191-yard venue for the three-day, 54-hole event. Only one of the 15 teams in the tournament was not ranked in the top 100 of the GolfWeek/Sagarin rankings. The Mustangs are currently ranked No. 36.
SMU will play next at the Central District Invitational at the River Wilderness Golf Club in Parrish, Fla., hosted by Michigan State. The two-day event will start Saturday.

This article from Lifehacker.com.au suggests setting the Dock autohide delay to 1000 seconds, like so: defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 1000; killall Dock To restore the default behavior: defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay; killall Dock The author says he sets the delay to two seconds, so he can still get to the Dock in ...
This can be done by using the "New Text Document Here" action Select folder -> tab -> start typing "New" -> select "New Text Document Here" -> type name -> enter. If you're looking for a more complete solution that can create any type of file (including ones without the .txt extension that the New Text Document action forces) try this Applescript. Just put ...
Long press any app icon to enter "wiggle mode". Drag the desired folder to the Dock. Press the Home button to exit "wiggle mode". Done!
I found a post on the Objective Development Forums that suggests a different approach: Select the file to move or copy (either in the Finder, or in LaunchBar). Copy it (⌘-C) Select another file (again, either in the Finder, or in LaunchBar). Use ClipMerge (Press ⌘-C twice.) Repeat steps 3 & 4 if you wish to select more than two files. Select the ...
First you need a script. There are countless ways to script things, based on individual skills and knowledge of AppleScript or other languages. For simplicity, let's use automator. You will want to use the Watch Me Do action to show Automator how to trigger the menu item to lock the screen. I made this a service, since I like to use FastScripts for ...
Once you use the Instant Send hotkey to select the file in Launchbar... You can start typing "Applications" to select your /Applications folder. Then press Return and select Copy to "Applications" from the menu.
In AppleScript: do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend" This doesn't require you to keep the menu bar item.
I've contacted their support and here's their reply:
Here is what you want: tell application "System Events" tell process "Notification Center" click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 end tell end tell Then, just save the script, then just add it to quicksilver's triggers.
Yes. Move your mouse curser to the left/right edge of the launch bar. Then you can increase the width. Use ctrl+⇧+←/→ to change the width in pre-defined increments.
Is there a way for Spotlight or Launchbar or Quicksilver or similar to just return matching folders not files?
The fastest way using spotlight is to add kind:folder to the search term in the spotlight field. You can use booleans, metadata tags like kind:music or date:yesterday and more as described in Specifying criteria in the Spotlight search field I always forget about these and instead use the search window to build up a boolean criteria rather than use the ...
Is there a way for Spotlight or Launchbar or Quicksilver or similar to just return matching folders not files?
You can set Spotlight to list folders at the top of the list in the Spotlight preferences in System Prefs. You can also uncheck the other items in the list so only folders will show up in the results.
Not through folders, no, but if you're JailBroken, there're a couple tweaks in Cydia that you can get called Infinidock and Cascade. They're $1.99 and $0.99, respectively. When you put them together, it adds an Overflow type of look to your dock. It's close to what you're asking, but other than that, there isn't anything that does what you want.
A simpler version is here: http://www.harukizaemon.com/2008/02/lock-your-screen-with-launchbar.html Repeating it (with an update for LaunchBar 5): Open the the Script Editor, /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor Enter the text activate application "ScreenSaverEngine" Save it to ~/Library/Scripts/Lock Screen Open the LaunchBar Press ⌘⌥I Select "Actions" ...
The open() handler gets passed an alias (which is a kind of a pointer to a file or folder). You can then simply convert the alias to text, but it will show you the path with colons as separators (e.g. "Macintosh HD:Users:Username:Documents:Folder:"). Use POSIX path of to convert it to a UNIX-style path with "/" separators, and if you want to paste it into ...
There are several ways to use the currently selected thing (files/folders in finder, selected text in other applications, ...) in Quicksilver. There is the ⌘⎋ (command-escape) shortcut. It opens the Quicksilver interface with the selected thing in the first pane Or you can open the Quicksilver interface and use the "Current Selection" proxy object. That ...
Command-Return Hold the Command key and tap the Return key This will bring you to a Finder window, where the file/app is selected within the enclosing folder.
You could create an Automator service with a Run Shell Script action like this: for f; do q=$(xattr -p com.apple.quarantine "$f" 2> /dev/null) if [[ $q ]]; then xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "$f" open "$f" xattr -w com.apple.quarantine "$q" "$f" else open "$f" fi done Set the input type to files or folders (just folders doesn't ...
I found this question and it made me go look for an answer! What I found is useful, though not directly addressing your question, it does provide the functionality. Perhaps someone coming here will find it useful as well. To Search Evernote from LaunchBar With LaunchBar 6.4 and Evernote 6.0. Fire up LaunchBar Call up Evernote by typing a few letters to ...
Tagging is supported since LaunchBar 6, released June 11, 2014. You either send a file or a selection of files from Finder to LB (alt + holding space) or select a file (or – with nightly build 6.1 – a selection of files) within LB. Then press tab, type a part of the Finder tag name and add the tag by pressing return. You have also the option to replace ...
I did this, not sure if it will answer it for you. Finder Preferences > General > check "open folders in tabs instead of new windows"
I emailed the developer and got a very clear reply. The application has a white list to avoid putting unknown CoreServices into play, so the steps I took to index that folder were for naught. The 5.5.1 update to the app fixes this one tool. If you can't update or want to learn how to index this file manually, read on... I needed to instead use the ...
There's a checkbox for the Applications index in LaunchBar that says "Use Spotlight index". Uncheck that and you're good to go. I've used LaunchBar for years to find and launch applications on drives that Spotlight isn't indexing, and it works fine as long as you tell it not to use Spotlight. Even if Spotlight is active, LaunchBar works much better with this ...
It does indexing separately, but has a feature that lets you pass a search directly to Spotlight. I assume if you disable Spotlight, you'd just lose that feature and the rest of the app would function normally. This won't be the case for all apps like this though. Alfred, which I use, relies wholly on Spotlight for indexing. If Spotlight stops working, so ...
I see you know about LaunchBar's "large type" feature -- did you know you can send selected text to it with the "Display in Large Type" action? I.e. Select your file in LaunchBar Tab, "dla", return
Is there a way for Spotlight or Launchbar or Quicksilver or similar to just return matching folders not files?
Alfred 0.9.9 has extensions now. One kind of extension that it supports is "Search Filters". For example, a filter that searches for only PDF files, or like in your case, a filter that searches for only folders. It is very easy to create such a "folders" extension. Like this: You can download this extension here.
Is there a way for Spotlight or Launchbar or Quicksilver or similar to just return matching folders not files?
Alfred can be configured to show only certain result types. I believe that its results will always include applications, but in my experience, the directories will percolate to the top after a few keystrokes.
Is there a way for Spotlight or Launchbar or Quicksilver or similar to just return matching folders not files?
I just tested this on my Mac running Snow Leopard and Quicksilver and it works the way I'd expect you'll like (with a minimum of fuss). Create a folder somewhere, and name it something meaningful (I created ~/Documents/launchfolders) Put folders and/or shortcuts in there to the folders you want searchable. Open Quicksilver and go to the Catalog Click on ...
An update for LaunchBar 6 Version 6.0 introduced a slick way of selecting multiple items. The LaunchBar folks call it the "Sixth Sense". Selected items are held in a "staging area" and can be acted upon all at once using typical LaunchBar tools. Typing Command-A will select all items in the search list. Typing a Comma (",...

This project started after I got tired of photographs of games taken on an old, almost white D&D miniatures battle map. I looked for vinyl mats first, but it started to look like the ones I was interested in weren't available anymore, and I wasn't perfectly happy about them either, so I decided to create real 3d ones of my own. I wanted to find a really strudy base for the terrains but couldn't find any, making me dig up some hardboard and use it as a base. The result was satisfactory, even if there is a bit distortion.
Objective marker flags for WW2 games, part 2
My earlier victory area flags have been quite popular, and because of a request, I've made a new set of flags. I haven't been able to print them myself, so the photo below is from dano903 at http://www.axisandalliesunderground.com and http://community.wizards.com . If you're interested in these flags prepared and based, ask him!
Pulut (Pigeons) - scratchbuilt wedding cake decoration
I've been drawing Pulut -sarjakuva (Pigeons -comics) for a Finnish young's community site, and like I've often drawn these pigeons to guestbooks and in greetings, I decided to create a decoration for our wedding cake of these comic characters. The same theme was seen in wedding invitation, where one pigeon 'accidentally' prod a ring closer to another pigeon - and the wedding cake decoration was made from this picture.

Can you believe that it's already August? Colleges will be opening their doors for the incoming freshmen very soon. Living in a dorm is definitely a different experience than being at home. You already have everything at home. Your dorm comes with a bed, a desk and other small furniture. You have to bring everything else. Below is a list of 5 things that every college student should have in their dorm.
Bedding Supplies
Make sure you bring bedding supplies with you because your dorm will not have any in there. Bedding supplies includes sheets, blankets, mattress pad and pillows.
Bring your own towels. Bring a few of them. For some reason they tend to disappear.
Trash Can
You can only hang a plastic bag on your door knob for so long before trash gets everywhere. Get a trash can to help alleviate any trash problems you may have.
Power Strip
Dorms typically have only a few electrical sockets. Having a power strip allows you to plug a greater amount of gadgets up such as a computer, TV or phone charger.
Bed Lifts
Bed lifts are another must have for college students. Dorm rooms are not the biggest. Bed Lifts allow you to lift your bed a little higher. You will be able to store more things under the bed, thus creating more space in your room.
That's just a brief list of items that college freshmen should bring with them. I know there are a lot more things that a student could bring. I know some schools allow their students to bring microwaves and George Foreman grills while others do not. Check with you resident director before you bring certain items.

Eddie Martinez: Matador Paintings
Mar 13
Allison Meier reviews the exhibition Eddie Martinez: Matador at Journal Gallery, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on view through April 28, 2013.
Meier writes: "The taking of an idea and slightly altering it, over and over again, can often be more interesting than the executed initial idea itself... Martinez is experimenting with this idea in an installation of his Matador paintings where a grouping of abstract forms occurs over and over again with messy alterations. Martinez made all seven in one long, self-imposed studio struggle."

Measurements of the cosmogenically-produced 35S, a radioisotope of sulphur (t1/2 = 87 days), are reported for the Ned Wilson Lake watershed in Colorado. The watershed contains two small lakes and a flowing spring presumed to be representative of local ground water. The watershed is located in the Flattops Wilderness Area and the waters in the system have low alkalinity, making them sensitive to increases in acid and sulphate deposition. Time series of 35S measurements were made during the summers of 1995 and 1996 (July–September) at all three sites. The system is dominated by melting snow and an initial concentration of 16–20 mBq L-1 was estimated for snowmelt based on a series of snow samples collected in the Rocky Mountains. The two lakes had large initial 35S concentrations in July, indicating that a large fraction of the lake water and sulphate was introduced by meltwater from that year's snowpack. In 1995 and 1996, 35S concentrations decreased more rapidly than could be accounted for by decay, indicating that other processes were affecting 35S concentrations. The most likely explanation is that exchange with sediments or the biota was removing 35S from the lake and replacing it with older sulphate devoid of 35S. In September of 1995 and 1996, 35S concentrations increased, suggesting that atmospheric deposition is important in the sulphate flux of these lakes in late summer. Sulphur-35 concentrations in the spring water were highly variable but never higher than 3.6 mBq L-1 and averaged 2 mBq L-1. Using a simple mixing model, it was estimated that 75% of the spring water was derived from precipitation of previous years.

College Hockey:BC, BU Play For Beanpot Championship
(CSTV U-WIRE) CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — When the puck drops at the TD Banknorth Garden tonight for the championship game in the 54th Beanpot tournament, it will be a rather familiar scene.
For the 17th time in the illustrious history of the college hockey tournament between four Boston schools, the two Commonwealth Avenue rivals, Boston College and Boston University, will settle the championship on the ice.
It will be the fifth time in the past seven seasons in which the Eagles and Terriers will tussle for bragging rights and the distinction as Beantown's best. BC won the last such meeting in 2004, claiming a dramatic 2-1 overtime victory.
The two schools' most recent match-up in the Beanpot came a season ago in the opening round, when the Terriers got a pair of early goals from then-junior forward John Laliberte and hung on for a 2-1 victory. BU went on to win its 26th Beanpot championship a week later.
As for the current year, the teams are currently locked in a battle for the regular-season championship in the Hockey East, as the Eagles hold a four-point lead with six games left on the slate.
None of this, however, will matter during Monday's contest. The Beanpot matches are non-conference affairs.
The Terriers could be considered the favorites heading into this contest. Since a 5-1 home loss to Providence College on Jan. 6, BU has been unbeatable, winning its last 10 contests, including a 4-3 win over BC on Jan. 28.
With the return of senior co-captain David Van der Gulik to the lineup, the Terriers' offense is hitting its stride, though the team is not at full health.
Laliberte is listed as day-to-day with a sprained knee that has kept him out of the lineup for the past several weeks. His status for tonight's game is uncertain.
BU can also fall back on its traditional dominance in the tournament. Although the Terriers waited until 1966 — the 15th edition of the Beanpot — to win their first title, the floodgates opened shortly after, and BU has since won 26 of the last 40 Beanpot championships.
Over the same course of time, BC has won only five.
The Eagles are not without reason to think that they can win, either. After their lengthy winning streak was ended by BU several weeks ago, the Eagles fell into a funk, requiring overtime to put away UMass-Lowell, dropping a decision out in Amherst, Mass. against the University of Massachusetts.
They have righted the ship, however, with dominant offensive efforts against Northeastern University, a 5-2 win in last week's Beanpot opener, and most recently in an 8-3 drubbing of Providence on Friday night.
Given the Eagles' offensive history in Beanpot play against BU — including a 52-shot effort in the 2004 championship game that yielded just two goals — BC does not lack cause for confidence heading into Monday's contest.
BU senior netminder John Curry has played well at times and well enough at others during the Terriers' winning streak. Fans of BC will hope to see the Curry that allowed three goals against Harvard in the first round of the Beanpot last Monday, not the one who shutout UMass on Friday.

There's no reason drivers and cyclists should be at odds. The public roads are free for both to use, and all are expected to follow the same laws and common traffic courtesies.
Even so, there are misconceptions and tensions between motorists and bicyclists. That's why Team Rocket Tri Club is hosting the Share the Road group ride on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Cyclists will depart Redstone Arsenal's Gate 9 at 5:30 p.m. The ride is designed to raise awareness of cyclists and safety among cyclists. It will also honor Joanna Whisenant and Jennifer Carroll, two Huntsville cyclists injured earlier this summer while they were biking into work. A car hit them from behind near Gate 9.
"Both are seasoned cyclists," said fellow cyclist Melissa Wood. "They were doing everything right, such as using lights, reflective clothing, and riding at a time when traffic would be light. Last week another cyclist was hit from behind, this time on Bailey Cove Road. This man was also doing everything right - he had a total of 6 lights and was wearing bright yellow. He also was seriously injured and will be in a back brace for up to three months. Unfortunately, this was a hit and run and the driver has yet to be found."
Following a string of cyclist fatalities in 2013, Huntsville launched the "See and be Seen" campaign last October. But there's still more work to be done, according to local cycling groups.
"The ride is to remind the public that cyclists have the same legal right to be on the road as all vehicles," said Wood. "A lot of people also think we should be riding on the sidewalks, but don't know that that is actually illegal."
The event will feature a 10 - 15-mile course with pace groups. There will also be a safety clinic prior to 5:30 p.m. ride. All participants are required to have a safety vest, bicycle lights and photo ID.

The Asian Carp study started in 2007 by the Army Corps of Engineers will not be finished until 2015 and many are frustrated with that time frame. With Asian Carp feeling like a much more immediate problem those that live in and around the lakes are agitating for quicker, better answers.
Unfortunately, there are not many new angles to examine the situation from. John Goss, the Asian Carp Director for the White House Council on Environmental Quality mentioned last week that marketing the fish as food may be a solution to get behind.
Now this is definitely not a new angle, in fact, I wrote about this very suggestion last year. There are people out there willing a ready to serve up Asian Carp to any who might eat them.
Of course, as with any idea about how to handle the Asian Carp problem there are a multitude of opinions about whether or not this is actually a good idea for the environment. The biggest problem of marketing the Asian Carp as a food fish here in the United States and in exports to Asian countries is that those trying to make money may foster populations of the fish in other places outside of where they have already invaded. A fisherman looking to make some money can easily snag some of the fish and move them to a water way were they previously had not been introduced. It creates a whole new set of problems.
No matter what happens in the future of the fight against Asian Carp and invasive species in general one thing remains clear: there are no easy answers.
