New London — There may not be any more digs, sets or spikes in the backyard of 18 Viets St. as a result of a lawsuit served up by the city earlier this year.
The suit alleges that the homeowners operate an illegal commercial volleyball league from their backyard, in addition to being noncompliant with other sections of the city's zoning regulations.
The suit was filed Jan. 15 in New London Superior Court against Edinson G. Mizhquiri and Judith Fajardo, who have owned the Viets Street property since late 2011, according to property records.
"At this point in time we really only have a 'he said, she said' situation," city Law Director Jeffrey T. Londregan said in his report to the City Council on Monday.
He said he has spoken to a neighbor and one other person, both of whom claim Mizhquiri or Fajardo told them they were running a league from their backyard.
"Both defendants in the case have spoken with me and have denied that they're running a league," Londregan said. "They say that it is only friends who come on the same date and time to play after work and that it is not an organized league, there are no referees, there is no scorekeeper, there isn't standings or anything like that."
Mizhquiri and Fajardo declined to speak with The Day.
The volleyball court was approved by the city's planning, zoning and wetlands division after Mizhquiri applied for a permit to comply with two previous cease-and-desist orders.
The application for an administrative zoning permit, approved by Zoning Enforcement Officer Michelle Johnson, allowed Mizhquiri to install an 8-foot-tall fence and two full cut-off residential lights "for recreational court use." Full cut-off lights are designed to limit the amount of light that seeps into other properties.
But on Nov. 12, Johnson issued another cease-and-desist order after receiving complaints from neighbors and learning that Mizhquiri and Fajardo had installed netting higher than the approved 8 feet and put up more lights than the permit allowed.
Mizhquiri and Fajardo did not make changes to the court or request a hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals, which ultimately prompted the city's lawsuit.
Londregan said that Mizhquiri and Fajardo have since made changes to the court netting, fencing and lighting to comply with the zoning regulations.
In addition to injunctions forcing Mizhquiri and Fajardo to comply with the zoning regulations and pay the city attorney's fee, the lawsuit also requests that they be fined in accordance with state law. Under the law, Mizhquiri and Fajardo could be fined up to $2,500.
"My hope is that we can enter into a stipulated judgment with the defendants whereby they agree to follow their special use permit and they agree that they do not operate a league," he said.
Mizhquiri and Fajardo are due back in court on July 15.

Blood Sins (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit: Blood Trilogy)
by Kay Hooper
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Church of Everlasting Sin is led by Reverend Adam Deacon Samuel (a.k.a. Father). The church has been in the Grace, North Carolina, area for about ten years. Most members live on the compound, a community in themselves. Few are seen outside the compound. The children do not attend public schools and more than a few of the kids inside the church know that something is not right. The girls have the most to fear. The Haven organization knows that the church is somehow involved in the area's deaths. Bodies have been found in the river and X-rays showed that virtually every bone in the bodies had been pulverized, yet there were never any marks to indicate how this happened. Undercover agents have already given their lives to ferret out information and even helped a few of the children to escape. All that is really known is that at least one of Father's closest advisors is a strong psychic and no one can get a read on Father because he is like a null field.
This is the second novel in the series. If you did not read the first book titled "Blood Dreams", you may want to consider doing so before beginning this story. However, the author has done a good job of updating new readers within the first few chapters. Some characters from the previous book return to play secondary roles in this one. Tessa and the police chief are the main focus this time around though. Be warned that there are some graphic scenes in this story. Readers learn about Father's early childhood. (Not a pretty picture, trust me on that.) Still, the author retains her own outstanding gift of being able to write about paranormal talents and make them seem as if they are business as normal for the characters.
I would have liked to have had Samuel's abilities outlined how he was doing things, but not having it didn't ruin the story in any way. It was different how Kay could have brought a possible budding relationship to the front of the story line but didn't because it wasn't the 'right time or place' for it to be part of the story. It would have been nice to have more of Tessa's background story, if she were in previous books, I don't remember.
3 stars. I enjoyed the story. There were 2 to 3 chapters that just felt like utter filler as it wasn't any new information, just a rehashing of what we already knew so that was a bit discouraging. I still give it 3 stars as the rest of the book was really good.

This just could be to the liking of people who read Kay Hooper. This was my first read by this author and I am not that impressed. The character introduction started off well and the story/ case progressed with unimpeachable method. However, I lost interest in the last few chapters and the ending was just too abrupt. Tessa Gray's character was more than impressive.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553804855, Hardcover)Some sins can't be forgiven…
because some sins no one survives.
New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper has touched our darkest fears but none so dark as in her latest thriller. Here's a psychopath who lures his victims with a promise no one can resist…and demands a price no one would knowingly pay.
Young, vulnerable, attractive, Tessa Gray made the perfect victim. Which was why Noah Bishop of the FBI's Special Crimes Unit recruited her to play the role of grieving widow. As the supposed new owner of property coveted by the Church of the Everlasting Sin, she'd be irresistible bait for the reclusive and charismatic Reverend Samuel. His fortified compound in the mountains near Grace, North Carolina, had been the last known residence of two women murdered in ways that defied scientific explanation.
Though hardly as naive or as vulnerable as she appears, Tessa knows she has a lot to learn about using her unique gift. She also knows that Bishop and the SCU have to be desperate to rely on an untried psychic agent in an undercover operation so dangerous. And desperate they are. For the killer they're hunting is the most terrifying they've ever faced and shakes even the most seasoned agents: a soulless megalomaniacal cult leader who can use their own weapons, talents, and tactics against them.
By entering the cult's well-guarded compound, Tessa will be exposing herself to the dark magnetism of a psychopath on an apocalyptic crusade of terror that spares no one, not even the youngest victims. And Samuel has protected himself within a fanatically loyal congregation, many of whom occupy surprising positions of power within the community. Even Grace's chief of police, Sawyer Cavenaugh—a man Tessa will have to trust with her life—may be unable to protect her. Because no one, not even Tessa herself, can guarantee she's strong enough to resist—or powerful enough to battle—a killer who's less than human.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:17:58 -0400)
All clues to the recent rash of murders point to the enigmatic Church of the Everlasting Sin and its charismatic leader, the Reverend Adam Deacon Samuel. But getting to the man known as 'Father' will be no easy task, for he is insulated within his flock of loyal minions--closely guarded by those who would gladly give their lives for his. Now, with the support of Haven, the civilian agency Bishop helped launch, the elite FBI Special Crimes Unit must go deep into the fold of a puppetmaster whose power reigns over more than they could ever have imagined.… (more)

Padraig Harrington shot a six‑under 66 to lead the Nedbank Challenge by a stroke after a rain-affected first day at Sun City in South Africa.
The Irishman fired seven birdies and had just one bogey as he produced an excellent back nine to move ahead of Ross Fisher and Lee Westwood, on five under and four under respectively.
Spain's Miguel Angel Jiménez was also on four under, with last year's winner, Robert Allenby, two shots back after a one‑under 70, the same as England's Justin Rose.
The South African contingent were slightly off the pace, with Ernie Els and the Open champion Louis Oosthuizen also on one under, along with Edoardo Molinari of Italy.

CATS vs DOGS
Now the whole world-wide web knows that cats rule, what do the book stores know about dogs? Thankfully the question was answered recently by those indefatigable writers at SLATE magazine in, The Curious Incidence of Dogs in Publishing by Daniel Engber.
Mr. Engber has compiled statistics and made a chart that shows the number of times cats show up in web searches vs the number of times dogs are written about in books.
Cats have been WALKING on books longer than dogs have been WRITTEN about in books.
Cats Rule!

Manchester United left back Luke Shaw is so keen to get started for his new club that he cut short his holiday by a week.
The former Southampton defender, who arrived at Old Trafford on a £28m deal earlier this summer, did not have to attend training for another week because of his involvement in England's doomed World Cup campaign.
But Shaw arrived at Carrington Thursday morning, report the Daily Mail, just 15 days after returning from Brazil.
United's England players, Shaw, Wayne Rooney, Phil Jones, Danny Welbeck and Chris Smalling, were given a three week break after the tournament.
Other United players have been back in training for the last week, including United's other signing Ander Herrera, with assistant Ryan Giggs taking charge in Louis van Gaal's absence.
Manchester United: Potential summer transfer targets
Manchester United: Potential summer transfer targets
1/19 Arturo Vidal
The Juventus midfielder is among United's top targets this summer, particularly after impressing for Chile at the World Cup. Having helped his current team secure the Serie A title, Juventus aren't keen on letting him go.
Getty Images
2/19 Marco Reus
Rumoured to be near the top of United's target list, a possible swap deal involving cash and Shinji Kagawa has been mentioned. The Borussia Dortmund player would not be a cheap acquisition, especially given his recent declaration that he wants to stay at Dortmund next season
Getty Images
3/19 Arda Turan
Former manager David Moyes had been seen watching Turan, though his dismissal put a doubt over whether United were still interested. The winger's agent claims an offer has been made, so is the Atletico Madrid winger on his way to Old Trafford?
Getty Images
4/19 Arjen Robben
The Bayern Munich winger has said Van Gaal has offered him a place at Old Trafford if he wants it. Currently he's happy to stay where he is, but things can quickly change.
5/19 Claudio Marchisio
With Paul Pogba highly unlikely to be prised away from Juventus, United's attention could turn to team-mate Claudio Marchisio. The Italian international would provide some class and experience.
6/19 Mats Hummels
With defensive reinforcements high on United's list of priorities, Borussia Dortmund's Mats Hummels has unsurprisingly been linked with a move to Old Trafford. The German has been earmarked as the ideal replacement for the now-departed Rio Ferdinand and after his impressive showing at the World Cup, he's even more desirable.
7/19 Raphael Varane
Raphael Varane has already snubbed United once in his career, opting instead to join Real Madrid. It would surely take a big offer to prise the classy defender away now.
8/19 Seamus Coleman
Reportedly already the subject of a £15m bid, Seamus Coleman could be the man being lined up as the answer to United's problems at right-back.
9/19 William Carvalho
The Sporting Lisbon midfielder has reportedly been watched 15 times by Manchester United, although the £29m asking price could prove a stumbling block. The Portugal international has also been linked with Arsenal.
Getty Images
10/19 Xherdan Shaqiri
Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri has struggled to force his way into the first team at the Allianz Arena and could be a target for United as well as rivals Liverpool. His impressive displays for Switzerland this summer could make it harder to prise him away.
11/19 Alex Song
Barcelona are understood to be ready to let the former Arsenal player leave this summer. Could provide some strength to United's midfield. Could also bring embarrassment judging by his behaviour at the World Cup.
12/19 Fabio Coentrao
Supposedly came within hours of signing in January, the Portuguese left back could be brought in to provide back-up to Luke Shaw.
13/19 Julian Draxler
A long time Arsenal target, United are reportedly interested in pinching the young German with a bumper offer. Seems unlikely though. Arsenal also strongly interested.
14/19 Sami Khedira
The Germany international is reportedly being pursued by a host of sides, and United might be wise to get in the mix as they look to add some quality to a fairly feeble looking midfield. Real Madrid appear open to letting him go with the 27-year-old having just one year left on his contract. Arsenal and Chelsea are among the others keen on signing the World Cup winner.
15/19 Edinson Cavani
The Uruguayan hitman would prove pricey and tricky to snatch away from PSG and it seems unlikely United have enough to offer him.
16/19 Luciano Vietto
The Racing Club youngster has been impressing in Argentina for some time although a move directly to United would be something of a surprise.
17/19 Santiago Arias
Should a move for Seamus Coleman fail, PSV defender Arias is reportedly being lined up by United. Played for Colombia throughout the group stage of the World Cup.
18/19 Miralem Pjanic
Rumoured to part of a joint bid including teammate Benatia, the Bosnian midfielder is reportedly another on United's large hit list.
19/19 Kevin Strootman
Van Gaal knows Strootman well from working with him in the Netherlands set-up and has indicated he is interested. Roma are reluctant to sell whilst his recovery from a knee injury may prove a stumbling block.
The new boss will not arrive at the club until next week, but Giggs said the Dutchman has been sending strict training instructions to him. Those who have trained have been subject to double sessions and even an evening session, as Van Gaal bids to get United back into the Champions League at the first attempt.
Giggs has been working alongside new coaches Albert Stuivenberg and Marcel Bout.
He said: "Everything has been planned through Louis. We've had that through and Albert and Marcel know how he works. The blueprint has been prepared by Louis and we're just following his plans.
"It's not ideal because you want all your players and manager there but it can be like this in a World Cup year. The difference is the manager is involved in World Cup this time. Within a week we will be all together. He will get to know the players and they will get to know him.
"We have spoken a couple of times and exchanged a few emails. It's been hard because he has either been preparing for games or travelling somewhere but we've been in contact."
United will head to the US for their pre-season tour, with matches against Roma in Denver and Inter Milan in Washington DC.
Van Gaal will take charge of his first gome game at Old Trafford against Valencia on 12 August.

Hey, yall! Sorry this chapter took a little over a week, but I've been working on a new fic that I haven't posted yet. I have about fifteen chapters of what is actually two fanfics, both of them DBZ/SM crossovers. I'll post the first chapters of those once I'm sure they're ready, and new chapters of BDC will be a bit slower to produce. I may just go ahead and change the whole fic rating to M once I get to a certain part, since it's definitely going to be M from there on out. I just can't seem to write at a T setting anymore, I'm too old. :P
Serenity stared at the man standing before her in complete shock. Sweet Selene, he looked just like Diana. "Nephew?"
Milliardo gave her a small bow and a hesitant smile. "Aunt Serenity, I presume."
She rushed to him, not caring that she was a mess. Her hair was still down from her night's rest, and she was dressed only in a simple white healer's shift. She embraced him tightly to her, and only pulled away when she felt him stiffen. "What's wrong, nephew?"
"My daughter," he replied without emotion. "What is your verdict?"
Serenity frowned and sighed. God, it was too fucking early for this, and she hadn't even had her coffee yet. This trait was one her daughter shared with her; they were not morning people in the slightest. "We'll talk, I promise. Come with me."
"Heard you got your ass handed to you," a feminine voice said softly from the shadows.
"Who in the hell is there?" Hyler snapped. He raised his head to look, but it hurt to do so. He gasped when the former Queen Relena stepped out and gave him a mocking little bow. "You. What do you want? And for that matter, how in the hell did you get in here?"
Relena shrugged. "I dated Heero Yuy for several years, Hyler. You learn a few things when you live with a well-trained soldier. As for what I want… I want to help you." She frowned when he laughed at her. "I require Heero, though, as payment."
"Payment!" Hyler laughed even harder at the idea.
"Yes," Relena replied, an obvious edge to her voice. "Payment."
Ami's eyes opened at the feel of a warm mouth against her own. She slowly responded to the kiss, and felt him jump in surprise. "Morning," she chuckled, when he pulled away.
"Morning," he replied, with obvious pleasure. Damn, he'd only given in to the urge to kiss her because he thought she'd been asleep. He blinked in surprise when the blue-haired genius raised her head a little and brushed her lips against his. Well, it was no longer just morning. It was a good morning. "How's the leg? I already called for the queen."
"It hurts," she admitted. She drew back the quilt and noted with relief that Wufei had possessed the sense to cover it with treated gauze so the burn wouldn't stick to any cloth. "And I'm running a fever. That's normal," she added, when his brow furrowed with concern. "Thank you, Wufei," she said with a blush. "I know I can be stubborn sometimes."
"Sometimes?" He snorted. In his experience, she was stubborn all the time. He bent his head to kiss her again, and slipped his tongue into her mouth when she opened to him willingly.
"Did you want a healer, or do you need some private time first?" A quiet voice asked, jerking them both away from each other. Queen Serenity noted Ami's blush with amusement before approaching the bed.
"Your Highness, sorry," the doctor chuckled. "I didn't hear you knock."
"I didn't," Serenity laughed. She carefully removed the gauze around Ami's leg, and didn't hesitate to begin the healing. The skin was scarred when she pulled her hand away, but it was mended. "Sorry, you know I can't do much of anything about burn scars."
Ami nodded. "I know, it's alright."
Wufei noted the flash of self-consciousness on her face when she covered her leg with the blanket, but kept his mouth shut. She'd be beautiful even if she was covered in scars.
Michiru gasped with pleasure at the feel of a soft mouth against her throat. "Three times wasn't enough last night, Ruka?" She chuckled.
"Never enough," the guard mumbled against her breast. "If I didn't have to meet Serenity in the war room in ten minutes…"
"Well, then, I suggest you don't start anything that you can't finish." Michiru grinned at her when Haruka raised her head.
"Fine," she sputtered. She rolled off of her girlfriend and started to get dressed in normal street clothes. Her guard uniform had been ruined during the battle, as had Michiru's, so they would be wearing whatever they could find until new ones could be made. She eyed Michiru appreciatively when the other guard stood and stretched like a cat. "Mich, get some clothes on," Haruka said roughly.
She grinned mischeviously. "What, Ruka? You don't like looking at me naked?" She teased.
"I like it too much. And we're going to be an hour late if you stay naked much longer."
"An hour, huh? Think pretty highly of yourself, there, don't you?" Michiru put on a sports bra and shrugged into a simple dress. "Have you seen my underwear?"
Haruka grinned. "Better find a new pair, love. I kind of destroyed those last night."
Michiru had the grace to blush, and slid a new pair up her long legs. She did it a lot slower than necessary, drawing a gaze of longing from her girlfriend. Gods, how long had she waited for Haruka to look at her like that? Months? Years? Forever? "Ruka, I love you," she said quietly.
Haruka's gaze softened at the sight of Michiru's face. "Love you too, beautiful."
Duo slipped back into the cot he'd shared with Usagi overnight and snuggled up to her.
One of the guards had tried to make him separate from her when he'd pushed his cot up against hers, but Duo had drawn his gun and threatened the guard's life if he didn't fuck off. He was a healer, he had every right to be sleeping with the healers, and he'd also pointed out that no one else in that room would be better suited to protecting the princess.
Usagi had simply rolled her eyes while Duo unbraided his hair and told the guards to just go away. She'd explained that Duo had a long day, and that it was hardly the end of the world if he wanted to sleep close to her. It was also quite impossible for anything inappropriate to happen while they were sleeping in a room full of hundreds of people. She hadn't argued when Duo yanked her against him and buried his face in her hair possessively. She'd used her light to soothe his temper before they'd both drifted off to sleep.
"Where did you go?" She asked sleepily.
"Meeting with the others," he yawned. "We're all going back today. Don't worry, you're still coming with us."
"Why didn't you wake me?" Usagi groaned. "Mother must have been so mad."
Duo shook his head and made little circles along her back with his fingertips. "No, I told her you were drained from all the healing, and that I'd fill you in on everything. She actually thanked me for my concern for you," he snorted. "The Princess Guards will stay for now to set up defenses and join us later. Your mother will contact you, Zechs, or Rei telepathically if there's an attack, and we'll immediately teleport back here to help defend against it. She wants you girls all trained in flying the mobile suits, and Rei needs to get back home. She had a dream that the Prof is doing something in one of her barns."
"We're taking the fight to them, aren't we?"
"Yeah. Too many civilians here. Everyone's trained to fight, but we don't want a huge battle on our hands when there could be young children and elderly people in the line of fire." He sat back up and started unloading all of his guns on the blanket before pulling out the small kit he used to clean them.
Usagi sat up and chuckled at the sight of all of those guns. "You know, Duo, your power is a lot more effective than any gun."
"Yeah, but I don't use it like a reflex yet. Guns, I do. The gun is like a part of my body, and I can draw it quickly and fire even faster. With extremely good accuracy, too. My powers… I have to concentrate on those. There's a delay before I can unleash them, three times as long as it would take me to pull and fire a gun. I'll continue training as a Saturn, but for now, I'll put my faith in my weapons."
"Spoken like a Maxwell," Rei snorted, and plopped down next to her brother. She plucked one of his guns from the blanket, and soon they were both moving in synch with each other, unloading, cleaning, oiling, and reloading.
"You riding with Heero?" Duo asked.
"Of course. Why, you wanted your sissy to ride with you?" Rei giggled.
Duo winked at her as his hands did their familiar task without him even needing to look. "I was hoping a certain moonrabbit would join me."
Usagi finally spoke; she'd been watching their duet with fascination. Sweet Selene, they really could be twins. "Sure. I think we're all too weak to teleport, anyway, and I wouldn't want to ask anyone else to help us raise the required power."
"You'll have to sit on his lap or stand just behind the seat in the cockpit," Rei informed her. "The Deathscythe, Zero, and Heavyarms' cockpits are all too small to really support passengers.
Usagi chuckled. "I take it that certain girls are riding with certain guys, then?"
Rei shook her head crossly. "No, apparently Trowa and Minako are… I don't know what it is," she admitted. "Mako's riding with her brother, and Mina's gonna ride with Quatre. You should have seen Wufei's face when Ami suggested she take a shuttle. I think she's nervous about being alone with him."
Usagi laughed. "That's just her way. I heard about what happened last night and this morning. Mother walked in on them kissing. She'll likely try and avoid him now, out of fear of getting too close to a man."
"I thought I'd come and say goodbye," Rei said softly.
Hiroto turned and regarded his granddaughter solemnly. "You'll be coming back soon, right?" He'd known this day was going to come, but there had been no way to prepare him for it.
Rei nodded, and hugged him to her tightly. "I'll come back as soon as I can, I promise. And if there's another attack, the other princesses and I will teleport here to help. For now, though, here." She pressed a communicator into his hand, and pointed to a green button. "It's untraceable, and bounces its signals off of satellites. You'll be able to see me and talk to me anytime you want to. Wufei, too."
Grandfather Hino beamed. "Thank you, child. Where is your cousin, anyway?"
Rei rolled her eyes and snorted. "Trying to woo Ami-chan. Apparently she's been skittish since this morning. At least it's entertaining."
"You'll call me when he finally gets a piece, right?" He grinned when Rei just gaped at him.
"Grandpa!" She shrieked. "God, you're such a pervert!"
"So, how long until we land?" Rei asked, just after they'd taken off.
"A few hours," Heero said simply.
"Well, I have an idea, if you're game." She grinned when he winked at her. "You had the same idea, I take it?"
Heero pushed a few buttons, and the screen informed him that all incoming calls were blocked. "Now… just how are we going to christen my Gundam?"
Rei rose up and straddled him. "Well, I figured the Zero had about as much room as the Hell, so…" she leaned down and nibbled his ear before dropping her voice to a whisper. "…I didn't wear any underwear." She gasped with pleasure when hiked up her skirt, and she quickly took care of his pants. "Ah, I see the Perfect Soldier also had the foresight to go commando."
Heero gave her his trademark smirk before lowering her onto him. "Great minds think alike."
"HEY! Get your hands off my brother!"
Usagi and Duo both jumped and turned their heads towards the vidscreen before erupting into laughter. "Did you hack my system, baby sister?" The pilot of Hell asked with a grin.
"Actually, no, Heero did," she replied with a grin. "We thought we would see what… or who… you were doing."
Duo snorted. "No, I'm being a good boy," he replied with a roll of his eyes. "I tried to call you earlier, but you were blocking incomings, Heero."
"I was busy," Heero replied flatly.
Duo waggled his eyebrows. "Doing what, might I ask?"
"Your sister." Heero's eyes danced with laughter when Duo dramatically gagged and Usagi giggled against his shoulder.
"For three hours, dude?" Duo gagged again when Heero simply nodded and his sister blushed. "God, Yuy, you're a fucking animal."
Rei trailed her hand down Heero's chest and smiled dreamily. "Yeah, he is."
"What, you want some more?" He nipped at her neck when her hand travelled a little lower, just out of Duo's view.
"Alright, that's enough!" Duo whined.
"Just fucking with you, brother!" Rei said with a grin.
"I wasn't," Heero stated, and swung Rei over to straddle him again before pushing the button that cut off all calls.
Duo was grateful to see them disappear from his screen, and buried his face against Usagi's shoulder. "Hold me, moonrabbit, I think I'm scarred for life."
Usagi continued to laugh, as she had been during most of the exchange. "Aw, poor Duo. What can I do to make it better?"
"You could give me a kiss," he mumbled against her.
"Not a chance."
"You guys wanna break it up and pay attention!" Duo snapped.
Rei turned her head to look at the screen and Heero peeked around her to see what was going on. "Oh, fuck," she gasped, when she saw the radar. It was blinking brightly with dozens of dots, and they were quickly closing in on them. She slid out of Heero's lap, grateful that they'd only been kissing, and moved to get out of his way.
"Yeah, oh fuck is right, baby sister. Better hang onto something."
"Holy Mother, I hate this part," she grumbled. She assumed the position she'd learned from flying with Duo, and sat on the floor behind the cockpit chair, linking her legs around the bars underneath it. "Do you thing, Heero, I won't get hurt even if we have to go vertical." Well, not hurt badly, anyway. If he went straight up fast enough, she'd hit the floor with just as much force when he righted the Zero, but she'd been through it before.
Rei wished she could see the screen; she was just itching to get into the fight when it started, but she didn't want to distract Heero from piloting. At least his flying was a bit smoother than her brother's. She flew around a bit and even lost her hold on the bars for a split second when they unexpectedly went vertical, but she could tell he was trying his best not to injure his passenger. "How are we doing?" She finally asked.
"Fine," he said unemotionally. It wasn't like a few dozen mobile suits were any match for five Gundams, but they were certainly fast. He sliced through another Taurus like it was hot butter, and for the first time in several minutes, found himself without an opponent. "Hell, are we all clear?"
"Yeah, buddy, I think we're kosher."
"We're good. Mako's a bit banged up, but she'll be alright."
Heero nodded, and gave his sister a tiny smirk. She had some bruises on her arms and shoulders, but she looked more annoyed than injured. "Sandrock?"
"Thanks, Zero, we're good."
"Altron?" Heero turned his Gundam to find the Altron not too far from him. It seemed fine, but Wufei wasn't responding. "Altron!" He snapped.
"What, Zero!" Wufei answered angrily.
He blinked at first, not immediately sure why Wufei was answering verbally, but had yet to show his face. Heero heard Ami chuckle in the background and tried not to laugh. "Well, as you were, then."
"Shut the fuck up, Yuy."
The girls all gratefully stretched once they landed at Rei's base, having been graciously allowed to swing down before the pilots. Usagi immediately healed Makoto's bruises, which had been inflicted from Trowa being forced to move the Heavyarms quickly to dodge an incoming missile. The princess of Jupiter hadn't been hanging onto anything when it had happened, and had rolled around in the cockpit for a few moments.
Ami blushed when the other girls grinned knowingly at her. Her hair was disheveled, her shirt was wrinkled, and she had what suspiciously looked like a love bite on her shoulder.
"So, how far did you get?" Minako asked conspiratorially.
The doctor huffed a little and rolled her eyes. "Is it really any of your business, Mina-chan?"
"As the princess of love and beauty, it most certainly is," she stated firmly. She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot impatiently when Ami didn't answer right away.
"Second base," she finally sighed. "Satisfied?"
Minako frowned. "No, I was hoping to hear that you'd christened the Altron."
"Heero and I christened the Zero," Rei offered with a wink.
"See, now that's the kind of initiative I'm talking about!" The Venusian said with a grin and a friendly slap to Rei's back. "How about you, Usa?"
Usagi just laughed at her. "Seriously, Mina-chan? My mother would beat me three different shades of black and blue!"
"Ok, fine, Usagi is exempt," Mina sighed. "Damn it, no one ever lets me play matchmaker," she grumbled.
"Because you suck at it," Makoto chuckled. "Not your fault, though, maybe that has something to do with not completing the—"
"Shut up, Mako!" Mina suddenly fumed. For a moment, she looked like she was going to beat her friend senseless.
"Hey, guys, let's not start this. The guys are coming," Usagi said firmly.
Rei kissed Heero when he landed, and took the bundle he was holding. "Thanks, sexy man." She held the black bundle out to Duo. "Put this on every morning. You can only take it off in the house, understood?"
Shinigami sputtered and glared at his sister when he unfolded the bulletproof vest. "What the shit is this, Rei!" He hissed at her. "I don't need a bulletproof vest! It's… it's cowardly!"
"I saw it in the sacred flame," she said just as quietly. "If you're not wearing that, you'll die."
"Bullshit." He shoved it back into her hands and stomped away when she tried to give it back.
"I'll talk to him," Usagi offered.
Rei nodded sadly. "Just not outside, Usagi. In the house. In the vision, it happened outside." She closed her eyes again, and saw her brother fall, saw Usagi pull the gun from his body and shoot the assassin. "Inside," she repeated.
"Understood, Rei-chan."
Zechs sighed with relief when he touched the Epyon down on Rei's base, and stored it in a hangar. He immediately headed to the house to see his wife, and grinned when he grabbed her from behind, making her jump.
"How many years has it been," Noin grumbled, "and you can still sneak up on me? It's simply not fair, you know." Then she realized why Zechs had left in the first place, and ran a hand protectively over her flat stomach. "What did she say?"
"Aunt Serenity said that she won't take the child, that she could simply never do that to kin." Zechs buried his face in her hair for a moment and breathed in the smell of her, the smell of home. "I was made to understand, though, that if she develops her Plutonian powers, there would be a major issue."
Noin nodded, and relaxed against his hard chest. "At least we won't have to worry about that for a few years. We can train her in whatever else she has, Moon, Mercury, or Uranus, and just never tell her about the rest."
"My thoughts exactly."
Alright, like it love it hate it? No matter which it is, I'd love some feedback if you have time! The next chapters is where the fun begins! And I mean the real fun… couples, FINALLY! Already wrote them chapters, too. Yes, there are several. All of our sexy G boys should get their own limelight and not some quick little thing. :D Love you guys!

I think the hand was played well. River should be a fold though. Overbet river shoves are generally nutted, and he needs to be bluffing around 38-40% of the time here for you to call it off. He could even be doing this with KQ with the K diamonds. I dont think anyone is bluffing anywhere near 40% here.
My bad. Required equity to call off is something like 35-37%. Still not calling. There aren't really any draws that missed (you block the Q straight draw), and this flop/turn favors your range more than his. Also for mentioned reasons above ^^. We have better bluff-catchers like AJ with A diamonds.
re: Poker & $10 NLHE 6-max: Deep Stacked OOP with QQ
IMO PreFlop, he could have hands like
AA,KK,JJ,1010,AK,AQ,KJ,KQ,K10,K9,AJ,AT (Being he is light and on the button)
Turn - AA,KK,JJ,1010,AKd,KQo,K9d
River - AA,KK,1010,AKd,KQo,K9d
18 combos of pair, 1 combo of AKd, 9 combos of unsuited KQ, 1 combo of K9d = 29 combos
You just have to think how many bluff combos he may have on the river? I think not much, so its a fold...
I actually called the River and he had AcQc. I only had small sample of stats
20/20 100% Agg 10 Hands.
On the replayer 100%AG might be based on him betting 3 streets. Not sure if replayer shows up to the time of hand or his total stats I have on him
Call was based on his massive stack and that I underrepped my hand. It also looked like I played my hand face up like an AK, so from his point of view I think his river shove was ok unless I had QK or backed into a bd flush

- 5[countable] a section of canal or river with a gate at either end, in which the water level can be changed so that boats can move from one level of the canal or river to another CulturecanalsBritain's canals (= man-made channels of water for boats to travel along) were built in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, at the start of the Industrial Revolution. They provided a cheap and convenient means of transport for heavy goods, especially between the mining and industrial centres of the Midlands and north-west England. Coal, grain, clay and other materials were transported on narrowboats, also called barges, that were pulled along by horses walking along a towpath beside the canal. Many miles of channel had to be dug, with some sections passing through tunnels or over aqueducts (= long, high bridges across valleys). Hundreds of locks were built to enable boats to go up or down a hill. A flight (= series) of 20 or 30 locks was needed on some steep sections.In the US canals were used for a short period to transport goods to areas where there were no large rivers. The most famous, the Erie Canal in New York State, ran from Buffalo on Lake Erie to Albany on the Hudson River and connected New York City with Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Mules, not horses, were used to pull the barges. The growth of the railway in the 1840s soon took business away from the canals, but the canal system played an important role in expanding trade and encouraging people to move west.After the railways were built, many canals were filled in. In Britain especially, canals that still exist have become popular with people wanting a quiet country holiday away from traffic. Old narrow boats have been fitted with motors and converted to provide attractive holiday accommodation. Speed is restricted on canals so the pace is slow and restful. Some locks are operated by lock-keepers, but many are worked (= opened and closed) by people on the boats. Going through a flight of locks is seen as part of the fun. At night, people moor their boats at the side of the canal. Canals are also popular with fishermen, and with walkers using the towpath. Many pubs are built beside canals and attract people enjoying a canal holiday or having a day out.In Britain, some people live in narrow boats and stay most of the time on a particular stretch of canal. These houseboats are often painted in bright colours, with pictures of flowers on the side. On the flat roof there are sometimes traditional jugs and pots painted with similar designs.

wow you really know your culture very well unlike me.
It's interesting
A Thoughtful Article, buddy our country have always swinged between the faith and belief...All you hear is noise around, and somewhere in that is lost a voice of truth...Anyways, liked your article.
Nice article..:) Its true,, quite a lot of people do not know the difference between faith and a myth!
Ganga is a boon to our country. I appreciate ur interest in our culture and myriad heritage.
"atleat 75% of people came to take a dip in ganga in order to erase their sins done by them. 5% of them came on a picnic- huh., 10% of them came because their old parents wanted to take a last dip in the holy water and only 10% were there who came to take a dip not because they wanted to erase the sin done by them in their past lives or this life but to give respect to the water which has been providing many people with its pure and clean water.""Chanting was all rite but just after that one of those 10 went to the ghat and spit in the water of the ganges . simultaneously, a cow came and snatched the belongings of that man who was shouting " gaiyya mata ki jai ho", in order to save the belongings of his, he started beating the cow and 10 more people joined him in this execrcise. They did this act after saying" gaiiya (cow) maata ki jai ho"." pityfull.
bro ....m becoming fan of yors .....really... 10% u said a fig. seeems 2 be 2 big even...... ur writing givs a nw tht 2 the mind ..hav 2 xcpt v r nthing bt hypocrats.... kep writin//
god bless:)
can't say much...except that you know hell alot about your culture....and i know about mine...still you wrote well....
You bring up a good point Shubham. Faith is a power of belief by those who are devout to certain ideas and the history of those ideas. People sometimes fail to see past their beliefs at practicle realities. I respect peoples religious faiths as I also have my own religious beliefs, but from what I've read, the ganges river has become very polluted from many sources including the dumping of human remains (Half cremated bodies) in the belief that they will be clensed of their sins.
Despite this fact, people still come to the river to bathe and even drink in the hope of cleansing their souls. I'm sure there will come a day when people through sickness will look past the powerful myth of the Ganga and realize that it cannot solve all the problems of this life or whatever awaits them at death. I suppose however, that will take a very long time to happen. Faith is centered in the heart. Good article.
its not only the ganges but also many rivers in india which are going thru the struggle to remain unpolluted....its pity that a land which boasts of its culture and tradition cant maintain the same.....its indeed a matter of importance...
thank u for reading and commenting...:)
I appreciate the way you've drafted the article.Very true.Good Work.
its really a grt8 wrk.i lyk it

The aim of this paper is to extend the method of Ammari et al. (Commun. Math. Phys., 2012) to scattering problems. We construct very effective near-cloaking structures for the scattering problem at a fixed frequency. These new structures are, before using the transformation optics, layered structures and are designed so that their first scattering coefficients vanish. Inside the cloaking region, any target has near-zero scattering cross section for a band of frequencies. We analytically show that our new construction significantly enhances the cloaking effect for the Helmholtz equation.

A Matter of TrustMature
My brain was fuzzed. Apex and Visp had been taken away on stretchers, and Lorrie had gone to her room. I had no idea where Taimone was, but I planned to have a serious word with him.
We won, yes, but the only good thing that came out of that was our lives. Seriously, killing other kids who are just the same age as me made me feel ill. I know they were trying to kill us too, but that's because they didn't want to die either. For me, it was a lose-lose situation, whether anyone survived or not. It was the worst thing I had ever had to do in my life, and it sickened me to think that this was what I would have to do if I wanted to live.
Taimone was right, this place was dangerous, I should never have come. And that was another thing - Taimone. My own brother who I admired and looked up to turned out to be one of the bad guys. I didn't know what to do: go with the other guys because they were right, or support my brother because... well, he's my brother. That second option seemed pitiful, but when it came to my family, I would get very defensive. An option between the right thing, and what could be classed as betrayal.
And then my powers. During the match, I had helped Lorrie snap an opponents neck, and I hadn't even meant to do it. It hadn't been rehearsed, but I guessed everyone else had just accepted it as some sort of lucky impulse. It felt weird. I had no idea what I was doing until after I'd done it, and I wasn't even sure what I'd done. People seemed to think it was a kind of hypnotism, but I had this niggling feeling that it wasn't. I would stick to that feeling; I didn't want anyone I cared for getting hurt by something that I couldn't control.
The time control was a one-time thing. It had worked the necessary way in combat, although in the brief moment I had got alone in the training area, I discovered that I couldn't control this power to save my life. Ironic figure of speech, but there it is. It seemed as though if I wasn't in dire need, when I stopped time it literally stopped for everyone else except me. When I figured out how to restart it, nobody noticed that anything had happened, and they continued like time hadn't been stopped at all.
The only thing I could do properly was project thoughts into people's minds and, to be honest, I didn't think that was the most helpful.
Shaken by what I had just witnessed and caused, I managed to drop a whole tray of cups of tea on the short walk to the table. It spilled everywhere, scolding my leg as it splashed, and the cups shattered into what seemed like a million pieces.
"Are you all right?" Taimone was at the kitchen door. I wondered how long he had been standing there.
"Yes I'm fine," I responded hastily, dropping to the floor to clear up the mess I had made.
"No you're not," he said, spotting my practically unconcealed lie instantly.
I didn't reply while I wiped the floor and collected up the shards of porcelain onto the tray. Then I stood up, placed the tray next to the sink and moved my hair out of my face. "Yes I am."
He looked me squarely in the eye. "You have blood on your face," he noted, striking the nerve I had been trying to avoid.
"I know I've got blood on my face!" I exclaimed. "Of course I've got blood on my face! I just fucking killed loads of innocent people, and you're just casually pointing out that their lifeblood is smeared on my cheek!?"
"Like I said," there was a trace of amusement on Taimone's features, but other than that he responded to my outburst rather calmly. "You're not fine."
I gritted my teeth and picked up a cloth, wiping the stain from my face, at which point Lorrie walked in. She didn't say anything, but immediately noticed the tension and left quickly.
"No," I said quietly. "No, I'm not fine."
"Why would she be fine?" Visp asked, taking a biscuit fro the packet and stuffing it whole into his mouth. He had recovered quickly. "What?" He swallowed. "I'm starving, OK?"
Taimone walked over to me and wiped away a spot that I'd missed. "There. Nothing to remind you now."
Visp frowned as he watched this happen, then said, "As I was saying, why would she be fine?" he turned to me. "I'm sorry, but your brother is evil. And what's more, he has you wrapped around his little finger."
"He isn't evil," I mumbled, not sure how true that sentence was.
"Yes he is," Visp insisted.
"Listen to Arianne," Taimone nodded. "I know her, and she knows what she's talking about. She knows people, and she knows me. She's not stupid."
"Arianne, think about it," Visp urged. "He's on the bad side, he doesn't care. If you had died in that battle he wouldn't have given it a second thought."
"He... he would," I said. "He would have cared."
"Of course I would have cared!" Taimone exclaimed, stepping in front of me. It sounded truthful, and I was ready to believe it. "She's my little sister! How could you even suggest something like that?"
"Arianne, listen to me. If he cares about you so much, why would he have let you fight in the first place? Think about it, he's working with them. I'm pretty sure he could have got you out of it somehow."
"Ignore him, sis. He's just trying to turn you against me. Remember what I said about them not knowing?"
I nodded, and then shook my head. Why was I always stuck in the middle?
Visp looked at me. "I think you should go now. If I hurt your brother I don't want you to see it."
Then Lorrie walked in and took my arm, leading me out of the room before I could object. "I wouldn't take what he said literally," she told me. "He's just annoyed. None of us like this."
I opened my mouth to say something to her, but instead I burst into tears.

Hi! My name is Serena and I am a beautiful one year old brindle hound mix. I am a 50 lb female
and already spayed and up-to-date on my vaccinations, heart worm preventative and flea/tick
medication. I am a moderate-energy dog who loves to go on long walks with my mom and
wrestle with my dog siblings.
My perfect forever home would be an active family who loves to go on walks and play with me,
or maybe even have a fenced in yard. My mom says I have excellent leash manners, except
when I see something that looks like fun to chase. Since I am part hound, I love to track and
chase small animals, like cats, bunnies and butterflies! I love to play with other dogs, although
sometimes I get a little shy and need some extra time to warm up to new friends. I'm a really
great wrestler and can hold my own with the big dogs! I really love playing with my other dog
friends. I'm not so sure about cats though. If they like to run, I like to chase them. However, if
they ignore me, swat me or just stay still, I will leave them alone. If my forever home has cats, I
will need an experienced owner to properly introduce me and keep an eye on me. I am also
okay with children. My foster family has a toddler and I tolerate her pretty well. She likes to give
me hugs and kisses and I am happy to return the favor. She also likes to drop food for me to
eat, so that really makes me like her!
My mom says I am doing great with my crate and potty training (I haven't had any accidents in
the house since I figured out the whole concept). I love to hang out in my crate with new toys
when my family has to leave for a little while. I feel safe in there and would like a family who will
continue this training with me. I am still getting used to being a house dog after my former life on
the street and I like it a lot so far. I will even relax now and sleep on my bed or hang out chewing
bones while my family watches TV. However, I am still learning the difference between my toys
and theirs, so I'm best left in a crate while unsupervised. My mom says that I am super smart
and easily trainable, whatever that means. I am a quiet dog, only barking when there is
someone I don't know coming to the door. I also love to chew and have very strong jaws, so my
perfect family would be able to provide me with lots of chew toys and bones to play with. I hope
you will consider adding me to your family!

2.Complete the adoption application. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the foster you have chosen is a good match for your home. www.fchsnc.org has the applications. This is step one.
3.Once the application is submitted you will usually receive an email letting you know if the foster would be a good match for you and making arrangements for you to meet the dog at one of our adoption events. Sometimes a foster is best shown at the foster home due to his or her personality. We will let you know where the foster home is and arrange a time that works both for you and the foster home.We do require that everyone who will live with the foster to come and meet them. There is a chance we may tell you that the foster you are interested in is not a good match and may suggest another foster.
4.If, after meeting the foster you decide you would like to adopt him or her, a home visit will be scheduled. Someone from the Franklin County Humane Society will call and do the visit. The foster does not come on the home visit. Home visits are required before any foster leaves our program.
5.If more than one person applies and meets the same foster, all things being equal, we go in the order the applications were received.
6.Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement. Please read the agreement carefully to make sure that you understand what you will be agreeing to.

Are you fond of Japanese food? Have you heard of hibachi chicken and the different recipes? Well, it is very delicious so you can easily try them out. Once you get the real taste of it, you will just love it. There are good restaurants around your area or you can order this from another place. It does not cost much and will make you fall in love with Japanese cuisine.
Well, before you know the recipes it is important know what actually hibachi chicken is. A Japanese device which is traditional, hibachi is used for heating purposes. A box shaped container which is open topped, the device is cylindrical also is lined such as so that your food is heated without even burning it.
Food is generally tasty here and you need to control the temperatures so that food is made in correct heating process. Hibachi tends to cook lots of chicken items and they are delicious.
Hibachi Chicken recipe you will love
Hibachi chicken recipe is very easy. Just follow the step by step procedures and you will learn it. Cook rice in cool temperature and then fry it properly. You can save time by cooking chicken and vegetables separately in other container. Look that the chicken and the vegetables are in warm temperature.
Take another container and heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil in medium temperature. Cut the breast of chicken in small pieces. Then add the breast pieces, soya sauce, lemon juice and butter, salt and pepper properly. Sauté the pieces with the mixture and look that it gets mixed well in correct temperature.
Hibachi vegetables and rice
Fry and cook the vegetables just like you did with the chicken. Add onions and zucchini and cook well for 6-9 minutes. To make fried rice, side the vegetables and in same oil, add bean sprouts and scramble eggs too. Add rice, butter soya sauce and cook well. Also keep a look that the hibachi chicken is heated enough.
After all are done, prepare hibachi bean sprouts properly and add it to sesame oil. Keep a look at the temperature so that the bean sprouts don't get heated too much. All done, add the chicken, rice and vegetables together and mix well. You will get a very mesmerising smell that one will just love.

Taking care of declining older relatives (and small update on me)/
I can see the light at the end of my horrific commute tunnel. There are three factors that have combined to set me free: 1) When my younger son turned 5, we switched custody so the kids are at my place 3 nights a week, their dad's three nights a week, and we swing the other night. So far everyone's been loving it. 2) My kids' dad will be off work for the summer at the end of next week, so he'll have the kids during the day in the summer. 3) Next year both kids will be at the same school.
So next year during the school year, I'll have three days of dropping off both kids at one place and then going to work myself (65 minutes down from 100 minutes), and two days of taking myself to work because my kids' dad will be in charge of getting them to school.
But enough about me and my sudden liberation.
Can we talk about straddling dealing with kids and aging parents, or just supporting parents dealing with *their* aging parents?
I'm in the second situation, watching my mom simultaneously trying to help care for her mother from a distance and caring for her mother-in-law in the same city. It's a hundred layers of guilt, between what she feels and what I feel.
I can't imagine how it would feel if it was my mother who was sick or declining and I had to make decisions that were directly affecting her quality of life.
Can we talk about coping methods and ways to make things better for everyone involved?
The only thing I can think of to really help my mom is to be a willing listener when she needs to vent, and to show up physically whenever I can to take some of the pressure off.
I wish there was more I could do, and I know lots of you are in the same situation.
Any ideas to help make this easier on everyone?

Norris Trophy voting: 78-present
In an effort to get a little perspective on some modern defensemen, I've crunched some numbers from the NHL Awards and All-Star voting thread and come up with an alphabetical list of all defensemen from 78 to present who finished "high" in the Norris trophy voting. I wanted to construct something resembling a top-10 list by season based on Norris voting, but changes in voting format (beginning in 1995) and other concerns led me to scrap that goal and come up with a new standard. Here it is:
The list contains all defensemen from 78 to present who achieved at least one first place vote or two top-3 votes in any given year. The reasoning for this standard follows:
- I wanted something approximating a measure of top-10 finishes by year, and wasn't terribly interested in a top-20. With the exception of the 80-81 outlier (in which defensemen down to 19th place met the standard) and 82-83 (in which only the top-5 is available), the standard I use yields results down as low as 13th in a few seasons and as shallow as 6th in others, but yields something close to a top-10 for most seasons.
- I wanted to weed out homer votes by local sportswriters. Including defensemen who received only a single 3rd place vote in the rankings, for example, would likely skew the results badly in favor of players from large markets.
- the ordering of defensemen who each received only one vote could cause great distortions for what I think are obvious reasons. I don't want to assign number values to players' relative performance based on the opinion of just one sportswriter in one year.
- the introduction of 4th and 5th place Norris voting in 95-96 made it impossible to reconcile the periods before and after that time by comparing raw points. Inclusion of 4th and 5th place voting in the standard is also impossible because those votes did not exist before 95-96.
One more note: I have not included breakdowns for modern defensemen drafted in the first two rounds of ATD #9. These players have rather static values, and aren't of huge interest to me, though I'd welcome an addition to these stats if someone feels like breaking down all of the top-10 finishes by guys like Chelios, MacInnis, Leetch, Lidstrom, et al. Ok, here's the data, sorted alphabetically by player name and chronologically by year:
- Brad McCrimmon doesn't make a lot of appearances among the Norris leaders, which also does not surprise me.
- Adam Foote makes zero appearances on this list. I didn't forget him; he simply never met the standard. Considering how much love defensive defensemen actually get in the Norris voting, one has to wonder why the sportswriters never considered Foote worthy of more than a single top-3 vote (he did get a single 3rd place vote in 98-99 and again in 02-03).
- the list is a good reminder of why Phil Housley and Larry Murphy get drafted relatively high.
- the fact that, in addition to his Norris and all-star years, Rod Langway also has two 5th place Norris finishes (essentially 3rd-team all-star years) and two other years on the edge of the top-10 may do something to resuscitate his draft stock.
- the numbers remind us that Ken Morrow was every bit as un-special as I recall him being and that Chris Pronger is, actually, you know...really good.
- I am reminded of just how short Scott Niedermayer's peak really was and of the strange gap between his first really good season and his Norris Trophy six years later.
*added Bourque, Coffey, Stevens, MacInnis, Chelios, Leetch, Lidstrom - so now it's basically complete*
Great work Sturm. Should be added somehow in the History of hockey section, but is perfectly relevant here for a quick reference.
And yet another metric thats shows Mark Howe was an outstanding player.
where is scott stevens
Great work, Sturm. I was planning on doing the same type of analysis with the Norris votes, you beat me to it.
I think you did the right thing by limiting this to years where players received at least one first place vote or two top-3 votes. It's obvious that in many years, all of the players outside of the top 5-10 simply received one or two votes (out of 50-100 potential voters). There's no point in pretending that a player with a single 4th place vote is definitely superior to a player that received a single 5th place vote (or didn't receive any votes at all).
A few quick observations. Randy Carlyle's poor voting record supports my long-held opinion that he's the worst Norris winner ever. Zubov's voting record is pretty interesting- it supports the general consensus that he's been a very good defenseman for a long time, but he's only really had a few elite seasons. Finally, I think that Phaneuf has sky-high potential but I'm very surprised by his three straight top-eight finishes. Maybe I should watch more Flames games.
There's one more Norris metric I'd like to work on: Norris shares. It's based on the Vezina shares Dr. No has on his website. Basically, you compare voting points a player has, to the total available votes. This way, Bobby Orr's unanimous 1970 Norris is worth more than, say, Doug Wilson getting ~58% of available points.
Really surprised that three guys drafted - Reijo Ruotsalainen, Brad Maxwell and Behn Wilson - don't make it in this metric. Especially Maxwell, actually.
I also completely forgot about Doug Wilson first, so I really wondered which numbers Sturm did worked with that actually GAVE Behn Watson a Norris...
I think possible points is the best metric available, though it will not yield results that add up to a clean 100% across all players - only a comparison of 1st place votes yields that kind of clean data. Given that a shares metric will mostly only be relevant for analyzing the top performers in any given season, perhaps 1st place votes is the way to go. I dunno.
I'm a little surprised by Phaneuf's Norris voting record, as well, though maybe I shouldn't be. I must admit to a some surprise over the consistency shown in Rob Blake's Norris voting record, as well. I'm a guy who has criticized Blake in the past for his brain farts and inconsistency, and yet, viewed from this angle, Blake actually appears to have been quite a consistent performer over his peak years, and perhaps unfairly maligned. Ditto Pronger, whose ups and downs do play out in the voting, but who we're reminded has had a lot more up than down, especially when injuries are taken into account.
Much criticism on Langway comes from Howe being better.
Each has the same amount of occurrences, the 5th, 9th and 11th cancel each other out. Leaving:
Langway: 1st, 1st, 3rd, 5th
Howe: 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 6th
Shouldn't need to say who that favours.
I think when rating Langway, many people forget he was getting Norris consideration when he played in Montreal.
Note: I am adding a 7th place finish for Randy Carlyle in 84-85. I missed that he got three 3rd place votes in that season because the two players rated directly ahead of him each received a single 2nd place vote and thus didn't meet the standard of the metric.
I consider three 3rd place votes considerably more evidence of a good season than a single 2nd place vote, which, given the performances of the top defensemen that season, was almost surely the result of a single homer sportswriter's poor judgment. So I am adding a 7th place finish in Carlyle's column, consistent with the metric.
The following players have added Norris consideration over the last 3 years, as per sturm's original criteria. Only drafted players have been added.

This thread was originally started to exclude instances where a player received a single vote as it wasn't really evidence of much. Does the above list from dreakmur include or exclude those instances?
i just figured it's a good starting point to start going through and finding the singles and eliminate them.
With my top-10 list above, these are the only guys who made the top-10 with a single vote.
T10. Ted Green, Bos 1 (1-0)
T10. Leo Boivin, Det 1 (1-0)
T10. Arnie Brown, NYR 1 (1-0)
Phil Russell, Chi/Atl 1; Reed Larson, Det 1; Stefan Persson, NYI 1
Charlie Huddy 3 (0-1-0); Mike O'Connell 3 (0-1-0); Scott Stevens 3 (0-1-0); Barry Beck 2 (0-0-2); Mario Marois 1 (0-0-1); Mark Howe 1 (0-0-1); Mike Ramsey 1 (0-0-1); Ken Morrow 1 (0-0-1)
Brad Marsh 3 (0-1-0); Kevin Lowe 3 (0-1-0); Randy Carlyle 3 (0-0-3); Reed Larson 1 (0-0-1)
Dave Babych 1 (0-0-1)
Denis Potvin 1 (0-0-1)
Chris Chelios 3 (0-1-0); Craig Ludwig 1 (0-0-1); Brian Leetch 1 (0-0-1); Jamie Macoun 1 (0-0-1)
Al MacInnis 1 (0-0-1)
Steve Duchesne 5 (1-0-0); Scott Stevens 1 (0-0-1); Ulf Samuelsson 1 (0-0-1)
Paul Coffey 1 (0-0-1); Nicklas Lidstrom 1 (0-0-1); Sandis Ozolinsh 1 (0-0-1); Larry Murphy 1 (0-0-1)
Steve Duchesne 0 (0-0-0); Brian Leetch 0 (0-0-0)
---- don't think I put these two in the top-10 list, but they were listed in the voting records as top-10 without getting any votes...
Starting I 1996, they went to a 5-name ballot, so it would be almost impossible to get into the top-10 with a single vote….. so I didn't even look at 1996 to present.
They at least won their heats, so to speak.
Is there a possibility to get this list updated??
I found it extremely... helpful/useful/awesome!
Edit: found it... http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=979927

deletion of P-sel disrupted megakaryocyte/neutrophil interactions in spleen, reduced TGF-beta (show TGFB1 Proteins) content, and corrected the hematopoietic stem cells distribution that in Gata1(low) mice, as in primary myelofibrosis patients, is abnormally expanded in spleen.
findings suggest that Gata1 & PU.1 transcription factors are only executing and reinforcing lineage choice once made. These results challenge the current prevailing model of early myeloid lineage choice
GATA1 and PU.1 bind in vitro and in vivo the proximal promoter region of the RPS19 (show RPS19 Proteins) gene which is frequently mutated in Diamond-Blackfan Anemia.
TAL1 (show TAL1 Proteins) and GATA1 form a precisely organized complex at a compound motif consisting of a TG 7 or 8 bp upstream of a WGATAA motif across thousands of genomic locations
We propose that the CID (show CENPA Proteins)-dependent dimerization system combined with the EpoR (show EPOR Proteins) intracellular domain and the Gata1 gene regulatory region generates a novel peroral strategy for the treatment of anemia.
immunoprecipitation. Our data provide new insights into the expanded regulatory circuitry that coordinates Nanog expression.
Scrib is a novel proinflammatory regulator in endothelial cells, which maintains the protein expression of GATA-like protein-1 (show ZGLP1 Proteins).
Inducible Gata1 suppression expands megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors from embryonic stem cells
By ablating TAF10 (show TAF10 Proteins) specifically in erythroid cells in vivo, observed is a differentiation block accompanied by deregulated GATA1 target genes, including Gata1 itself, suggesting functional cross talk between GATA1 and TAF10 (show TAF10 Proteins).
GATA-1 deficiency can partially rescue the trabecular bone loss observed with osteoprotegerin (show TNFRSF11B Proteins) deficiency
Transcriptional activator which probably serves as a general switch factor for erythroid development. It binds to DNA sites with the consensus sequence within regulatory regions of globin genes and of other genes expressed in erythroid cells.
