Manitoba is pushing back against the federal government's hopes for unilateral Senate reform, arguing in a Supreme Court submission that some of Ottawa's proposed changes "ignore the principle of federalism" and provinces must instead have a say in term limits and election of prospective senators.
The province filed its factum, or argument, on Tuesday to the Supreme Court after the federal government asked the court for clarity on the rules around Senate reform and outright abolition. The Manitoba submission was the first of any province, and follows the filing of federal government's factum last month.
Manitoba's stance signals Ottawa will get push-back from the provinces on any Senate changes, up to and including abolition, and suggests the status quo won't soon be changed. Manitoba, however, argues that "the failure to reach consensus on Senate reform in the past is certainly not a reason" to allow the federal government certain unilateral powers.
The federal government believes Parliament should be allowed to unilaterally "impose term limits, provide for public consultative process on Senate appointments" and remove the "archaic" rule that senators must own $4,000 worth of land in the province they represent.
But Manitoba only agrees on the last point, saying the property qualifications are "unrelated to the functioning of the Senate" and therefore can be changed by the federal government.
The province insists the federal government can't act alone on Senate nominations or term limits.
"Term limits affect the independence of the Senate and cannot be unilaterally imposed by Parliament," the Manitoba submission, which was made public Wednesday, argues. It goes on to say term limits could affect Senators' independence by encouraging them to favour the government of the day in a bid to earn a second term.
Further, it says "non-binding elections [of nominees] impacts the functioning of the Senate and does not fall within Parliament's unilateral authority." Alberta already does this, electing Senate nominees that are then candidates for appointment. But Manitoba argues that "holding elections for senators, even elections that are non-binding, will profoundly affect the operation of the Senate" by creating a "hodgepodge" of appointment processes and a "hierarchy of senators with those who have been elected seemingly having more legitimacy than those who have not."
The Supreme Court question comes amid ongoing investigations into the expenses of senators Patrick Brazeau, Mike Duffy, Mac Harb and Pamela Wallin. Manitoba's factum concludes that while there "may very well be compelling reasons for Senate reform," there are no compelling reasons to "depart from our nation's tradition of respect for federalism" by allowing the federal government to make unilateral changes.
Many other provinces are expected to submit factums before Friday's deadline, but stayed quiet Wednesday when asked what they might include.
The Premiers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia have publicly called for abolition, a position also shared by the federal NDP. It's unclear, though, how the Senate could legally be abolished.
The federal government argued that abolition requires the support of seven provinces with at least 50 per cent of the population. Manitoba argues that outright abolition goes beyond "general amending" and requires unanimous provincial consent – an unlikely feat, as many provinces prefer Senate reform to abolition.
The federal government has said the Senate must change or "vanish," but that it will wait for the Supreme Court's ruling before proceeding with any changes.Report Typo/Error

Colt Mark IV Series 80 .38 Super
Fit and finish was excellent and accuracy was awesome. I had NO malfunctions of any kind using 4 different Colt mags.
This gun is fabulous and is my second Colt to have no problems out of the box (first one was the Gold Cup Trophy SS I purchased a few weeks ago).
This is my first .38 Super and is a fun gun to shoot. I used PMC and Winchester ammo; the Winchester ammo seemed considerably hotter (and louder) than the PMC. Both ammo worked fine.
I may have to get another one of these while they're available!
Although Colt does not list .38 Super models (since 1996), they are still in production out of the custom shop. Various new models continue to turn up because the caliber does have a following. You also see the last of the so-called "enhanced" versions still around from 1995-96. It is a good alternative to the .45 ACP version. Everyone needs to add one to his or her 1911 collection.
I just logged on to post about the same model, which I purchased this morning. This is also my 1st .38 super, and after going to the range I find it hard to believe I havent purchased one before this.
The gun is absolutely gorgeous, and it shoots as well as it looks. I shot 2 boxes of whitebox winchester and a box of corbons with no failures. I know this is no break-in torture test but I was thrilled the gun shot and feed as reliably as it did. The white box winchester produced a pretty entertaining flash and the gun over all was very pleasant to shoot.
Put another couple hundred rounds through the Mark IV this evening. Still no malfunctions. The Winchester does indeed produce a big flash and is quite different from the PMC although both brands continue to perform well.
I was told by a dealer today that Colt is producing new .38 Supers as Drago mentioned. They are not the Mark IV Series 80 and as such I'd like to find out how they are different (was told the finish was flat versus the polished blue but no other details). I do know that my El Rey is different, the most noticeable being the grip safety and the serrations being vertical instead of slanted.
I continue to really like this gun.
Could you please explain to me what the "enhanced" versions are. I think I read about it somewhere but still get confused over the "enhanced", "O", Series 80, etc.
[This message has been edited by QB (edited 09-15-2001).]
Colt made "Enhanced" versions of the Goverment, the Commander, and the Officer's Models from 1991 to 1996 (approx.). These pistols feature a flat top (like the Gold Cup), wide grip safety, slanted rear slide serrations, a little higher cut under the trigger guard, scalloped ejection port, slotted hammer, and a few other touches including a long trigger and flat mainspring housing. As I recall, enhanced versions have an "E" in the serial number.
These pistols, with so-called "customized features" were to complement the then new 1991-A1 versions, which featured near mil-spec features. Both versions are Series 80 models in that they have the firing pin safety. While living in OK during this time, I saw frequently models in .45 ACP and .38 Super.
I acquired a stainless steel Enhanced Gov't Model (.45 ACP) around 1994. It was okay, but the thumb safety was pitted, Break-Free removed the three dots on the sights, and the trigger was heavy and mushy. Had I been of some patience, I would have tucked it away for a trip to a decent custom shop, but I sold it in a financial crunch about a year later.
Of late, I have seen some 1991-A1 models in .38 Super but not many. Of course, the "El" pistols continue.

Anne: The Animated Series
Click here to visit the Anne: The Animated Series website.
Anne: The Animated SeriesThe educational objectives of Anne: The Animated Series are to support children's life skills development - that is, the set of skills needed to live a productive family and community life. Social and emotional skills are emphasized including the importance of sharing and helping others, taking accountability for your actions, collaboration; respect for those who are different from ourselves and the depiction of adults as positive role models as seen from a child's perspective.
Each episode of Anne: The Animated Series weaves an everyday childhood issue into the storyline. The unique challenges of childhood are adapted for children ages 6 to 10. During each episode Anne and her friends contend with their feelings and their unique perspectives. As each show closes the characters have learned more about themselves and how to get along with others, despite their differences. Anne's imagination is used as the tool that allows her to see things from the point-of-view of others, helping her to understand her problems and to then work out a solution.
Because of her "can-do" attitude and strength of character, Anne is an excellent role model for children. The series stresses:
Each episode closes with a three to four minute segment in which real school children address many of the issues shown in the series such as bullying, taking responsibility for doing chores at home, and learning to respect the opinions of others.
PBS Ready To Learn is supported by a cooperative agreement from the U. S. Department of Education, PR/Award Number R295A00002.


text: Oct 28, 2011 - Amazing stuff. I was already using HE Hydralicious shampoo and conditioner. Then, upon the recommendation of a friend (who I believe is 3a), I put this conditioner in post-wash while my hair was still soaking wet, pulling from root to end. I'd leave it in (sometimes spraying just a little water to help work it in), style my hair, and go on with my day! It wasn't 100% at attacking the dreaded frizz, but it's worked better than anything I've used so far (including KCCC). It also worked great for adding definition. People couldn't believe I wasn't using some expensive, specifically-for-natural-hair product. I'm currently in the process of experimenting with different products, but this one is a serious contender for the long-haul.

Confusion on 911 Dispatch System
There is some confusion between the city of Pasco and Franklin County Sheriff's office whether an agreement has been reached on making the 911 dispatch system capable of communicating with a 800 megahertz system.
Kennewick, Richland and Benton County all use an 800 megahertz dispatch system.
Pasco and Franklin County has been operating under a VHF system.
This has been an issue since a Kennewick police officer was almost shot during a standoff in Pasco last month because officers from the two counties could not communicate.
Yesterday the Franklin County sheriff's office told You Local ABC the city of Pasco agreed to pay $5,000 to make the Franklin County dispatch center capable of communicating with the 800 megahertz system.
Acting City Manager Stan Strebel said this is not that case.
He said the city did not know about any type of agreement like this nor did they agree to pay $5,000.
"Pasco has not made that agreement, Pasco does not know where that $5,000 number comes from, nobody knows anything about this and we haven't been contacted by the sheriff regarding this so I think your questions need to be directed to the sheriff, where did he come up with the idea that pasco made this agreement and where did he come up with 5,000," said Strebel.
Sheriff Richard Lathim said the county Information Services Director was contacted by the city of Pasco.
City officials were asking if they could buy the parts to make the system compatible to 800 megahertz.
The Information Service Director then asked Lathim if this was possible and he said yes.
The next question was where is the money coming from, and Lathim was told by the information services director the city agreed to cover the $5,000 cost.

Golf Course Goose Attack
By Torleif Sorenson on 11/13/14
Are any of you oobers into hunting? If so, what are the rules about fighting back against a bird-brained attack-goose? Are we allowed to take a swing at them, including with a 56° sand wedge?
And if we win the battle, are we allowed to take it home? And assuming they are grilled or cooked properly, would a goose make good eating?
Have you seen an interesting golf video? Tell us about it!

Bernie Duffer says:
My experience is male geese attack like this while the females are sitting on eggs in their nest. That occurs in February and March where I am in the Florida Panhandle. I geese seem to attack golfers who are walking. I've never seen one attack golfers in carts. My weapon of choice is a seven iron which I find short enough to handle well one handed and long enough to keep the geese away. I take a swing and the geese back off. I've never had to actually hit a goose. When you act aggressive and come at them, the geese retreat.
bkuehn1952 says:
Yes, don't mess with the nest, eggs or babies. Our "watch out" season in Michigan is late spring.
slimpks1850 says:
duck, duck, duck, GOOOOOOSE!
e_c_poirier says:
They are not our National Bird, although they are named Canada Geese. I would have no problems with the golf course ownership providing all golfers with a baseball bat and we are at liberty to kill all of these dirty birds. They ruin the fairways and greens, and pollute the ponds with all of their droppings. Go find somewhere else to frollick.

Wtf? I take it that's a joke and Jc reedy is in fact still happening?
Also - what's with the starred names?
No, Reedy has really decided to retire, shame as this would've been a cool fight to finish on but a guy can only fight for so long. Fights been on and off a few times.
The stars mean nothing, it just does that when I cut and paste a note from my phone onto here for some reason.
Man that sucks :(
Aw well, JC is always exciting no matter who the opponent is...
Another fight added, Andy Burns (DNFT) v Callum Murrie (SMAC) 66kgs.
Nice fight that
John Cullen will now face Danny Welsh at FW, Danny has high level striking and always brings it. Should make for a really exciting fight.
J C will murder him fact. good luck with the show. hope all goes well.
Danny Welsh has very very good thai. much much better guy than his record shows, he's spent his career fighting middleweights, welters, and lightweights. And very good ones as well, like Leeroy Barnes and John Phillips. JC will win but Danny is no mug.
Gutted ill miss this show ,this is where it all began ,fought here a few times great wee venue for the atmospere ,hope Jc returns to his winning ways ,(am sure he will) a fight with reedy would have topped it off (not to be though). Jc constantly trains and spars with much bigger guys in the gym too so i dont see anyone being gun shy in this fight , potential to be a great fight....

Electrical Switch Question
I removed a standard switch from our kitchen........wiring off the switch is black, black, red with a ground wire tucked away in the back of the box. It is a 2 way swich.
So I purchase a 2 way dimmer...black, red, red, green.
Any ideas on this?
You mean 3-way, I assume.
Based on the colors you gave, I could guess...but it would be just that, a guess. I don't suppose you have an electrical tester? If not, get one...even a cheap-o, "hot or not" tester will work.
Find a nuetral and expose it.
First off, I should say that between every test, you SHOULD (not saying I would, but I should, as you should) turn off the breaker to this circuit. So, now I'll continue.
Switch One
Breaker off - Remove (from switches) and seperate all 3 conductors plus a nuetral.
(Adult "spotter" in place to keep curious children away)
Breaker on - Test each conductor to nuetral. The one that lights the tester is the one that goes on the common terminal. The other 2 go on traveler terminals.
Breaker off
Switch Two
Breaker still off - Remove and seperate as above.
Breaker on - Test each conductor to nuetral while working switch number one. The one that does NOT at any time, light the tester is the one that goes on the common this time. The two that did (hopefully) light the tester, one at a time, depending on switch one's position, go on the two traveler terminals.
Now, the "first" switch could be either one, but with ALL conductors removed only ONE, SINGLE conductor should have power. That is the common terminal conductor at, what I was calling, switch one.
Sounds like a three way not a two way. You have a three way dimmer any way. You need to identify the common wire. It is the one that was connected to the black screw on the old switch. That one connects to the black wire on the dimmer.

After Irene, Rochester Teen Says Life Slowly Returning To Normal
12/30/11 7:50AM By Mitch Wertlieb, Melody Bodette
| Download MP3
Following Tropical Storm Irene, we've been checking in occasionally with the Graham-Frock family of Rochester, who lost their home to the storm.
The family now lives in the home once owned by Jon Graham's mother, who passed away in late 2010. Since Irene hit, Jon Graham, Beth Frock, and their two daughters, 12-year old Chloe and 16-year old Rhianna, have gradually been rebuilding their lives.
This week, VPR's Mitch Wertlieb visited the family again, and spoke with 16-year-old high school senior Rhianna Graham-Frock about what life has been like for her since Irene took the family's home.

I'm looking to do the Die Rise easter egg tonight at some point in time. I get off work at 5 ct and will be getting on soon after that. I have a mic and know how to do the achievement I just need three other people to help out. I also might have a friend or two on willing to join and help. There's a possibility that I'll have some time to try for it on my lunch break but I'm not making any promises there.

When I was growing up in WV, my best friend's Dad serviced Gas Wells. I went with them in his real army surplus jeep several times, dropped the tubes in the wells and stuff shot out the top of the well. I'm still not sure what that was! The only trouble I ever heard from him had to do with bears, and winter driving, not people. That was in the days before crack cocaine and meth. You had good presence of mind, both to identify the situation and to take the actions you took.
I'd consider two -- a M4 version of an AR and a legally short pump 12ga.
OTOH -- You did good and what you should have, even if you had long guns, IMHO. Albeit, you being from Texas, you did have other options, which I don't have under Virginia law.

I have a very nice M4, but the problem is I'm not even supposed to carry in a company vehicle and an M4 may stand out just a little. Yes, I know all of the different feelings on that subject, but here is mine. I can find another job if it comes to me blowing my cover, by having to use my weapon; the way I see it, I was going to be on the local news anyway if it gets to that point.
The company gun policy was briefed with a wink and a nod at the field level, so we all pretty much practice the old concealed means concealed principal. If they were to do a shake down on us field hands, I'm sure they be able to fill a feed sack with the weapons they'd find.

Comments Written By Radio Times staff 11:43 AM, 24 April 2014 Barbie is coming to a screen near you. And not in doll form – this foray into cinema will see a real-life actress (or actor?) bring the famous character to life in a new comedy that Sony Pictures are hoping to begin shooting by the end of the year. So, it got us thinking... who should step into Barbie's immaculate, high-heeled shoes? Hollywood being Hollywood, there are plenty of glossy blonde actresses available, from Blake Lively and Amanda Seyfried to Dakota Fanning and Margot Robbie. Or producers could opt for a less glamorous choice, say, Katie Price? Or Paris Hilton? There's always original Barbie Girl songstress Lene Nystrøm of Aqua fame, or Moldovian-Ukrainian model Valeria Lukyanova, dubbed "Human Barbie" thanks to her resemblance to the famous figurine. And if casting agents are feeling particularly left-field, they could always consider a bloke for the role. Orlando Bloom's Legolas certainly had the blonde, flowing locks, or if they're looking for someone au natural there's always Chris Hemsworth or, er, Robbie Savage?

Mig Welder
Thanks, Ted. I too am retired, but a novice when it comes to welding. I have had to farm out the welding on my street rods from the past but it is expensive to do that anymore. I do appreciate your reply.
Hi Jim, You are more than Welcome, just hope it helped with your decision making, for buying your welding machine... Having to have a welder do most or all your welding, sure will make it hard (carrying things back and forth, all clamped together) and like you say, the cost is not cheap, when I do welding for people now (well last year) days, I charged $1 a minute, but I do not charge a minimum charge... So, if it takes me 12 minutes to 'weld' on their project, that is all I charge $12 but if I weld for 60 minutes, it is well worth the $60, and now Days with the cost of gas, has gone way up, it may have to be more... Sorry to say, as it costs me as much to do even my own, when you think about it...
The little MIG is great for sheet metal but not terribly practical for anything heavy.
I am of the opinion that bigger is what you will need, so buy the right machine first time out. Is this the voice of experience? Oh yeah, dammit.
Next, you are likely better off using gas instead of flux wire as it will be more versatile. Costs more, but it's one of those things that you get what you pay for.
I would suggest that you visit weldingtipsandtricks.com to learn a ton more. Jody gives all the information away freely and if you can't find what you want there it doesn't exist.
Good luck. Yep, another retired guy here too...just up the road from you in B.C.
they can be bought at home depot or you local welding supply store
hey I have a lincon sp 125
hey I have a Lincoln its the best thing ever ! I weld with flux core for everything works great sheet metal to 1/2 no prob Iv had it for 15 years love it as for boxing the frame do it from front to back I did my 57 chevy truck frame in 2 foot chunks 1/8 for most 3/16 for the motor mounts and Don't put brake lines in the box at all Bad Bad idea !! good luck!!
Ps is that a 35 chevy truck ?
My best friend has a 35 chevy truck and he would love to see more pics If that is a chevy thanks
I love my Lincoln mig also, also use .035 flux core wire for everything. I also have a Lincoln arc welder that I use on anything larger than an 1/8 or so for added strength. Another tech tip for pulling wire through conduit, use a shop vac on one end, use PVC fittings to reduce the vac hose to your conduit size , and feed in a length of the same nylon pull string used in house/ building conduit. If it wont pull the string, use a small piece of cotton just a little smaller than the conduit with the string attached through or around it. Then, use the string as a pull for your wiring. A butt connector will attach to the string the same as it would wire. I have been planning to box my rails on my c-10 also, but, (duh moment) didn't think about a conduit. Glad I found this thread. As far as the metal-to-wire rub,I would think either a rubber grommet on the ends of the conduit or a section (just a few inches or so) of rubber hose inside the ends of the conduit would solve the issue. The ends are the only places the wire would rub I would think. A full length of tubing would seemingly be unnecessary. Hope this helps and good luck.

flux core welding
jury is still out on this one
My Father in Law was a welding inspector for Burlington Northern and got me started in welding. One of my best friends was a welding instructor and taught welding at a local high school for over 30 years. He is the one who recommended that I buy a smaller unit that would weld up to 1/8 inch stock. I learned how to weld about 20 years ago, but never ever did have much of a need to use it and had to ask for a "refresher" course. Times have changed including the auto darkening helmet which truly makes welding 10 times easier. I did weld all my sheet metal panels in place with no problems and used good spacing techniques so it would not warp. Since my project was old metal, I cut away the rusted areas and clamped the new panels in place. I had some frustration until I found the correct thickness of the panels to be welded in. It took some experimenting. A little grinding, and a very small about of bondo and I was in business. I have not had a problem with paint falling off (yet!), and know that prep work before painting IS the most important and time consuming part of the project. Before applying the bondo, I do prep the metal with poor man's metal prep.... carburetor cleaner..... to wipe it all down. It has always worked well for me. I have also pretty much switched from sandable automotive primer, to self etching primer. Easier to work with and dries so much faster. Everybody has their own way of doing it though, and experimenting with what you have, and what you can afford is what makes it all worthwhile. As much as I would love to have a large welder, or hire someone, the fact is, I don't weld that often so it is a losing proposition for me and what I have, works. I am also retired now, and work on projects as more/less a hobby and this should be my last project. If I was starting over, I would consider a better welding unit than I have, but for now, it is fine. I am going to ask my retired welding instructor friend to come over once I get the boxing panels in place, to give me some advice. I do like the idea to move the panels inside the frame rails a quarter inch so that is the plan for now.
Well, I am not the best one to really answer your question/thoughts about the flux-wire messing with your paint, etc. because I do not and have not ever used that type of welding wire... Although! it should not be much 'if any', different than using stick rod during regular ark welding, which I did use the first few years of rod building, with no problems, as I filed/cleaned all my welds by hand... And! I most always have all the frame and related parts 'sand blasted' before painting or powder coating... Anything that is to be Chrome plated, is totally cleaned and polished... Maybe an old 'expert welder' will answer that question for you...
Flux wire or mig???????????
There is NO COMPARISON between flux wire welding and MIG welding,MIG is so much better,AND you dont have those dingle berries ( spatter) to clean off
dingle berries
I have found that the straight MIG using gas, does have dingle berries... I talked with a fellow that owns a W-Iron shop, they build gates, etc. he said what they do to end that problem is soak the whole roll of wire with WD40, and he said it takes a whole can to soak it good/right, then there is no sticking of the dingle berries. I found that works good for me also... Plus I use a rag, soaked with WD40 held into the wire with a wood clothes hanger/clip, just before it enters the tube shaft... This helps with keeping it oiled up good also, I spray it everyday... saves a lot of clean-up time.
I ask this because I just don't know..
but what is the usefullness of boxing the frame.., I understand it makes it stronger.. but it seems in this build.. it's overkill. witha 4.3 v6 and a truck bed than never haul more than a lawn chair or two..
what bennies would a build like this get out of a boxed frame.?
boxed frame.?
Well I had to go back in this post to remember/see what you are building... Like you say, you are not going for max performance and look how many years that frame has held up so far... If you are not worried about a bit of twist in the frame when driving in and out of driveways and such... Then boxing is not going to help you all that much, twisting of the frame can cause the doors to pop open and body/hood panels can slip around and mess with paint... Plus when you step on thew running boards, the frame may twist again... If you use a good cross Member, kinda like the factory used, you should be OK... Just some things to think about.
Hi guys..... all good information.... I have a friend who was a Ford parts man for many years and he stopped by and said about the same thing.... I am not interested concerning high performance anymore.... this motor is rated at 155 h.p. and the rear end is out of a 1949 Ford..... I just want to be able to keep up with the other traffic on back roads... The one suggestion that I did listen to was from the guys at Speedway Motors though.... who said I should box it "at least back to the rear of the cab." It won't take much effort on my part to do this so I might just accomplish that much. I did work on the project motor today and have a bit more to do before marrying the tranny to it... then, it will get its initial fitting as we "hang" it in place with a cherry picker to determine which tranny cross member to order and what kind of motor mounts we want to use. I can also then intelligently mark where the frame mounts will have to be as well. It's all good and with the progress today, you feel a little better about it and a little more ambitious... PS Sent in the "paper work" to the MN DMV a week ago Thursday to try to get a title for it, and was told that it will take up to three months to get the verdict....

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|There's got to be a sign maker that can cut the letters for you. Singapore is a relatively modern citystate... look in the yellow pages for sign makers...
I have no confidence in my ability to handle a chisel - I am sure my middle school wood working classes are responsible for this The black streak remover worked a treat though but as with most chemical cleaning agents it will probably wreak havoc on paint and vinyl.
I have spent a year trying to find someone here in Singapore to cut the new name for vinyl letters to put on her, but business must have been too good and I couldn't find anyone. I guess I have to do it myself...
A while back I used the product "Aqua-Strip" to remove some old painted hull stripes - worked fairly well and as a stripper is safe for gelcoat. Coincidentally I found it was quite willing to soften and loosen vinyl decals as well... unfortunately I had not planned on that part
So that may be another option to try.
sticky residue
the beauty of the wood chisel was that it took up almost all the sticky with the vinyl. I wiped with Goof Off after peeling the vinyl and it was done.
I tried heat but that left the sticky behind.
I had to go through the same about 18 months ago when I bought Valkyrja. PO had a large logo on both sides of the stern as well as the name and hailing-port on the transom.
I used a travel hairdryer to gently heat up the vinyl and peeled it off using a plastic 'spatula' thingy...the ones you use for spreading putty etc. No scratches or other damage of any kind. Took some elbow grease, but once heated, the vinyl could be largely peeled off in large flakes.
Removing the residual adhesive was a heck of a job though. I tried everything, including acetone, until I hit on the idea of using 'black streak remover'. I sprayed it on and left it for a minute or two (can't remember the instructions on the bottle) and it came right off simply using the same plastic spatula-thingy. Then a generous scrub with nice soapy water and we were as good as new.
Of course, the gelcoat under the vinyl is lighter, but after a nice polish in the yard it's hardly noticeable.
vinyl letters/stripes removal
The question turns up from time to time and I read them to try figure it out. I had 4 boat-length 1" stripes, kind of multi-colored 4" wide stripe. I also had registration and name vinyl to take off but the stripe(s) were a real b****. It was all old and well adhered.
Here's the best way I found for a big job like mine and, I think, the easiest for a small job too. I used my old, but freshly sharpened, 3/4" craftsman wood chisel. It took a couple of days and then I had to take a couple of days off to recuperate before I started the other side. Then I decided to try one of my good wood chisels. The 1" one because I rarely use it on my wood projects. It was very sharp, you could shave wood with it, and had a perfect bevel. It slipped under the vinyl and peeled it off very smoothly but I had to be careful not to shave the gel coat, just like with a razor. I did the second side in half a day and was hardly tired. I then rubbed out and waxed the hull.
This was not a hardware store wood chisel, but a good quality one with a good comfortable handle. If you have a small job to do, the cheap chisel with a good edge would be an excellent solution.

04 sti rattle noise in the back right strut,need sudgestions and help please
!Thumbs Uphello. i recently got this car, with 38k
they gave me 30 day warranty and a got them to chance the strut mounts in the back once, after about 50 miles driven i got the noise back, i read in my previous search of many people having this problem with this 04 model.
what can i do with this issue, and what is the best solution.
i would greatly appreciate all help.
Re-pack the struts. Especially if you're on lowering springs, this happens a lot on the 04 STi's... It's one of the reasons for the change in design the following year.
alright! thanks my friend, im gonna try that as soon as i get a chance. do you know why this problem exist? does it afect at all, or is it just the noise?
thanks a lot!!
Noise is a sign they're wearing out. They just wear out quickly. A good packing will last much longer though. Use stock springs.
thanks a lot my friend, sorry im asking suck a simple question, really apreciate your help.
is there anything else i should put my i on this little monster? that would help alot since im new to the sti. i been wanting to get one and i finaly got it, i had a black 03 1.8T gti put some nice moods on it, then a 05 1.8T gli wich i just keap preaty simple with few moods.
thanks again.!!!, hope u can give me some heads up on what to look for and spect from this great car!
viva la familia subaru!!!
Yes, you want to change the exhaust (turbo on back) and get a professional tune. It'll be like a different car.
Welcome! Ask away.

Five Books to Read in College
"Didactic Paragraph-Pomposity" and the Pursuit of Truth
In one of my first encounters with Søren Kierkegaard, I distinctively remember hearing the term "Gobbler of Paragraphs." My professor stated that this term, originally taken from some margin notes to Fear and Trembling, would inform the way our seminar would proceed. He wanted to ensure, as we students were reading Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments, that we were taking time to inwardly digest the assigned material.As we worked our way through the Fragments, Kierkegaard began to urge us to … [Read more...]
Epic Mentality
In my house, my wife Katie and I are hoping that using consistent, relaxing music around bedtime will help to create a sleepy routine for our seven-month-old daughter. You may be surprised to learn that current music of choice is a playlist of peaceful tracks from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. No, we don't think little Teresa is learning anything from "Into the West." (Our parental delusions aren't that acute.) But as I listen to the music and recall the stories told by Tol … [Read more...]
Why Choose Theology?
A defense of the liberal arts will almost always also be a defense of theology, because the principals that undergird the liberal arts always have theological implications. Take the recent talk Mark Roche recently gave on why one should choose a liberal arts education. I was struck by how his defense of liberal education could be extended to achieve an understanding the role of theology in dealing with existential questions in life more broadly. Roche argued, in a pretty typical fashion, that … [Read more...]

Another story he told me while he was there (not while he was with them, but a story began its rounds around the lads, of when a ghurka was patrolling with some americans)
They were in a compound, (the big mud walled towns) and up an alley way around 20 metres long, a ghurka turned to go up it (whilst a fire fight was going on) as he ran to get to a firing position, a taliban fighter appeared at the end of the alleyway, both rifles were raised, and the ghurka pulled his trigger first. *Clunk* rifle jammed. He then, without stopping, dropped his rifle, and pulled his kukri, by this time the taliban fighter had pulled the trigger. But his rifle jammed too, the ghurka sprinted the 20 metre alleyway and cut him from arsehole to earhole apparently.
Then fixed the stoppage in his rifle, and carried on fighting. Ive also read the story somewhere on the internet too. That never happened when he was there though, he just got told about it.
I can't have enough respect for them.

So I know meets have been planned for this area in the past and have not actually ended up happening. I'm just wondering more currently how many people would be interested in a meet somewhere in New England (specific location depending on locations of people interested). I'm thinking maybe mid summer should give people enough time to plan ahead, but first let's see if there's any interest. So, if you're interested, say so, and where you're from. Thanks.

Once you give up 'you child' for adoption, you (& your family) have no further say in how it is brought up! There are plenty of businesses registered with Lotus in their name. The one that used to race in F1 is now legitimately owned by Tony, so he has every right to race under that name & use that brands racing history - colours, etc - in his team. Group Lotus, by using the historic race team's colours are breaking a whole range of laws.

The second-seeded Buckeyes committed four turnovers in a crucial four-minute stretch late in the second half and were bounced out of the NCAA Tournament by the third-seeded Scarlet Knights. Coach Jim Foster's squad finished the season with a record of 30-5.
Ohio State shot just 39.6 percent from the floor -- including 23.5 percent from three-point range. The Buckeyes shot just 33.3 percent from the floor as they fell behind 27-22 at halftime. OSU got the Rutgers lead down to two on several occasions in the second half, but could never get the game tied up.
Rutgers (28-6) avenged a 52-50 loss at Ohio State in January and advanced to face top-seeded Tennessee in the regional final Tuesday night.
In a physical game, OSU center Jessica Davenport shrugged off early foul trouble and helped carry the Buckeyes back from a 39-30 deficit midway through the second half. The 6-4 sophomore scored eight points during a 12-5 run that brought her team within two points of the lead with 7:35 remaining.
Then, with a chance to tie the game, Buckeye guard Brandie Hoskins lost the ball on a questionable call in the backcourt. Senior point guard Ashley Allen followed with a double dribble. One minute later, Allen lost the ball again. Then it was sophomore forward Stephanie Blanton that threw the ball away.
Rutgers guard Cappie Pondexter capped a 10-3 run with a three-pointer that gave the Scarlet Knights a 54-45 lead with 3:09 to go, and effectively ended Ohio State's season.
"I think the game was very physical, and I think their ability to break us down off the dribble and our inability to break them down off the dribble was the difference in the game," Foster said afterward.
OSU finished with 15 turnovers. Rutgers had seven.
The turnovers at the end really hurt.
"We were just staring," Foster explained. "Jess had scored some points, and we were staring (to get the ball inside), and the weakside defender rotated over. Ballfakes there would have created some pretty good opportunities."
Good opportunities were tough to find against the Scarlet Knights, who battled Davenport with multiple defenders in the paint and relied on their quickness advantage on the perimeter. The Buckeyes never found any rhythm offensively.
"You can't have one assist and six turnovers at the point guard position," said Foster, referring to the combined numbers of Allen and sophomore Kim Wilburn. "It's not conducive to winning basketball. Shots go in or they don't go in. And we didn't get enough offensive rebounds. But you can't turn the ball over and not have assists from that position."
Part of the problem was Ohio State's inability to start the offense by dropping the ball in to Davenport. There wasn't enough inside-outside action to create open looks for Hoskins, Allen, or, most importantly, senior guard Caity Matter.
Rutgers was very physical in denying the entry pass to the low post.
"It was a very physical game, a lot of bumping for 40 minutes," Davenport said. "But that's expected at tournament time."
The officials were a factor in the outcome, according to Foster, not because they favored one team or the other, but rather because of the contact they permitted on both ends of the floor.
"It's obvious that the NCAA Tournament is played differently than the regular season," the coach said. "And it's something that players have to adjust to. It's a much more physical game. But, if this game is ever going to ebb and flow, it can't be a wrestling match."
Davenport wrestled her way to 22 points and 14 rebounds. Hoskins had 12 points. Nobody else reached double figures for the Buckeyes.
Rutgers didn't need to worry as much about the extra bumping inside. The Scarlet Knights were perfectly content to inflict their damage from the perimeter.
Pondexter was the difference-maker, totaling 24 points and four assists. Freshman guard Matee Ajavon had 14 points and senior forward Chelsea Newton added 13 points.
"I think what separates that team right now is they've got a couple players that can beat you off the dribble," Foster said. "Cappie's playing at a very high level right now. When she's making threes, she's pretty hard to guard. And Ajavon is player that can go by you."
OSU played its best defense at the start of the game.
The Buckeyes jumped to an 8-3 lead, getting two early baskets from Davenport and two more from Hoskins and Blanton. They maintained control for the first 10 minutes, despite the fact that Davenport drew a pair of fouls before the first media timeout. Foster decided to keep her on the floor.
"We left her in there and she was pretty disciplined not to commit another one," Foster said. "But I think it was difficult for her to get position on offense because of the tentativeness of not wanting that third one."
Davenport was able to play the rest of the first half without picking up her third foul.
Rutgers found little breathing room against Ohio State's halfcourt defense early on. Pondexter was the only player who managed to get some good looks. She scored seven of her team's first eight points.
OSU scored twice in transition and took an 18-10 lead when Blanton raced ahead for a layup at the 9:50 mark. That's when the Buckeyes hit a lull, which eventually became a full-fledged cold spell.
With the Scarlet Knights sagging two defenders on Davenport and upticking their ball pressure on the perimeter, OSU tried to attack Rutgers Coach Vivian Stringer's matchup zone defense off the dribble. Turnover problems ensued.
"They played good defense," Hoskins said. "We should have used more ballfakes. We were playing too fast. We weren't taking our time on offense, which made it hard for us to get it in (to Davenport). We guarded ourselves more than they guarded us."
Rutgers went on a 10-1 run and took its first lead, 20-19, on a 10-foot jumper by Newton with 5:46 left in the first half.
Ohio State committed five turnovers in the next five minutes, twice getting called for palming and once for a shot clock violation. The Buckeyes missed their last eight field goal attempts of the first half.
"They played tough, aggressive defense," Matter said. "But we just didn't execute offensively. We didn't get open and didn't reverse the ball as much as we like to."
Ajavon hit a three-pointer and Pondexter hit a jump shot to give the Scarlet Knights a 27-22 lead at the break.
The Buckeyes regained their shooting touch at the start of the second half, as Hoskins sank a pair of short jumpers and Davenport hit a layup. Rutgers answered with three baskets from Ajavon, including a tough baseline jumper that gave the Scarlet Knights a 35-28 lead.
Pondexter hit a short jumper and then assisted on Newton's baseline jumper that gave Rutgers a 39-30 advantage with 11:29 to go. That's when OSU started its comeback. But it wasn't quite enough.

Canning is one method of preserving food (other preservation methods are introduced in our news from around the world column).
Canning is environmentally sound since no refrigerator or freezer is needed to keep the food fit to eat. Canning is one way to make use of vegetables, meat or fish harvested from your backyard farm. Could there be anything more wholesome, educational and environmentally friendly than raising and than preserving food? Recently my daughter and her friend said that the canned food I gave them was the best they had ever had...and they wanted to know when I could make more. Home canning can make that kind of an impact especially if you are canning meat, fish, fruit or vegetables from your backyard farm or an integrated micro farm like my backyard food production efforts.
Take a stroll through the grocery store you will find all sorts of jellies, jams, canned pickles, vegetables, meat and fish. Guess what? With the right equipment you can produce in your own kitchen any canned food you see on the grocery store shelves. You can also make it better than most anything you find in the store...just like my daughter and her friend found out!
Would you like to learn to use canning to preserve food? If so, for a modest investment you can begin preserving food from your backyard farm. Food that won't be preserved with unpronounceable chemicals or cooked until the flavor is gone.
What do you need to get started? First, you need to know that there are two methods for canning. The first is the boiling water bath method and the second is the pressure canning method. The USDA chart above is excerpted from the USDA's Complete Guide to Home Canning . The chart shows what foods can be preserved using the boiling water bath method and which foods MUST be preserved using a pressure cooker.
Something to think about is that a pressure canner can be used as a pressure cooker, a boiling water bath canner or as a large soup/stock pot.. You get three tools for the price of one and since cooking equipment takes up a lot of shelf space, one pot may be a better choice than three in many cases.
Plan on spending about $100 for an entry level pressure canning system. Pressure canners can be purchased in many places and are produced by many companies. Some people are afraid of pressure cookers but I don't believe there is much to worry about if using modern equipment. Pressure cookers today have pressure relief mechanisms which safeguard against an exploding pressure cooker. I personally use a small 4 pint capacity Fagor pressure cooker. I will likely upgrade soon so that I can pressure can larger batches of food which is much more efficient that preserving many small batches since canning times for low acid foods can an hour or more depending on the food. Recently I pressure canned some venison...it takes 90 minutes to pressure can 4 pints.
I recommend that anyone who wants to begin canning start with high acid foods like fruit preserve or pickled foods. The acid in vinegar or the fruit makes these foods relatively safe to can compared to venison or fish. I also recommend that people new to canning strictly adhere to recipes like those provided by the Ball Corporation. The Blue Book is no longer in print but the online resource is excellent. Visit Ball Corporation's canning recipe site for procedures and recipes that will make your friends and family keep coming back for more.
With both a water bath and pressure canning you will be able to can almost any food. Just think…food that begins in your backyard farm and travels a short distance to your kitchen cupboard; food on your table from your garden all year round.
Finally, a word of caution. Do not eat any food that becomes cloudy, has visible bacterial growth, has become unsealed or smells funny in any way...it is just not worth the risks for poisoning by bacteria that result from a small bit of inattention during the canning process. Put any damaged goods in the compost bin or bury them in the garden...and then promise yourself to be extra careful the next time. Remember what I always say, "If in doubt toss it out!"

text: WASHINGTON, Dec. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Guard Association of the United States today released the following statement by retired Maj. Gen. Gus L. Hargett Jr., the NGAUS president: "Fueled by misinformation from some Air Force officers, it appears a handful of House Armed Services Committee members are willing to circumvent the legislative process to force a budget on the Air National Guard that the governors, the adjutants general and most in Congress oppose. "This is the kind of mischief that can occur during conference, when a handful from the House and Senate can go behind closed doors and literally change legislation in the name of forging compromise between the two chambers. "The House and Senate both rejected the Air Force's fiscal 2013 budget request, which would take disproportionate cuts from the Air National Guard. Both chambers told Air Force officials to go back and work with the governors and the adjutants general on a new proposal that addressed state concerns. "Unfortunately, Air Force officials have since ignored the governors and the adjutants general. Neither group has been able to provide meaningful input to a new budget plan. Nevertheless, Air Force officers have told members of Congress that they have a compromise plan in hand. "For the record, the nation's governors and adjutants general favor a freeze on Air Guard manpower and force structure and the establishment of a National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force. Neither organization has agreed to any Air Force proposal. Both remain concerned that the cuts to the Air Guard would adversely affect domestic response. "In addition, to our knowledge, the chief of the National Guard Bureau has not endorsed any compromise plan for the Air National Guard in the fiscal 2013 Air Force budget.

Protein is the most popular thing to supplement and there are now a huge amount of different type of protein shake on the market. Protein supplements should be used as part of your daily diet in the same way as foods such as fish and chicken, but because protein shakes are more convenient they can also be used in and around your workout, just before bed and at other times when cooking up a meal isn't convenient.
When buying protein supplements it is important to understand what you are paying for - this can broadly be broken down into three areas: quality of protein, quantity of protein and type of protein.
First of all the quality of protein. What makes a protein 'better' than another is generally it's amino acid profile and in this regard you cannot beat a whey protein shake when it comes to consuming protein for sports and muscle growth/recovery. Whey protein beats any other source of protein with it's incredibly high BCAA (branched chain amino acid) content and high bioavailability (how much your body can use) and this is why you tend to pay more for a whey-only protein supplement.
Next up is quantity of protein; how much protein you get in a given product. If two products both use whey protein only then if you're looking at value for money you should go for the product with a higher protein percentage (protein per 100g of product). We will make you aware though that in general the highest protein supplements taste the worst when compared to lower protein products - at Echo we tend to opt for a high quality product which also tastes good - anything over 70% protein will suffice for most people.
Finally the type of protein is very important as some protein sources are released into the body much faster than others, which means choosing a protein for post-workout (when you want FAST absorption) is different from choosing pre-bed protein, when you want SLOW absorption to "drip-feed" your body through the night. For slow release micellar casein is king, and for fast release whey protein is best. If you only want to buy one product and are willing to compromise then a protein blend containing both of these top quality protein sources would be a great choice.
If you still aren't sure which protein supplement to go for just get in touch and we will help out!

Why aren't there many pheasant farms around Jerome? There used to be? What happened? We need to reopen some.
The bottom line is, releasing pen-raised pheasants does not help the wild population. Game farm pheasants are too distant from their wild relatives to survive - they don't have the survival skills that wild birds have to avoid traffic, find food, and hide from predators. The Department studied this very subject and found releasing game-farm pheasants did not survive long enough to reproduce in sufficient numbers to make a difference. The most efficient use of pen-reared birds is releasing them before the gun during the hunting season. It all boils down to not enough adequate habitat to even support wild birds like the numbers we had in Idaho during the 60's, 70's, and early 80's. Farming practices have changed and not enough idle ground is available for secure nesting from hay swathers, burning of ditches, and predators. Pheasants need habitat 365 days a year and no less. Releasing pen-raised birds into an already limited environment will not bring back the birds. Money spent on habitat is a long-term solution but needs to be widespread as is done in the mid-West where pheasant numbers reached an all-time high in 2009, surpassing even the golden years of the 60's.

So, I've followed all the talk here through the years about the LCP, the posts from folks who love it and the
posts complaining about plastic, long trigger pull, small grip, hard on hands, etc. etc.
Well I went to the range today and when I was done putting a 100 through my Mustang, I rented an LCP just to see what it is like. Pleasantly surprised. Very pleasantly surprised. The long trigger pull didn't bother me. The recoil was nothing at all for me-- something that I didn't expect because I tend to be sensitive to recoil. I only fired a few rounds, but I am positive my wrist would not be bothered even if I ran through a box of 50. Dang, I liked it a lot.
There is another thread running on lubricants and a few folks suggested Mobile 1.
I have had a problem with my Mustang II which QK once posted was due to a lube problem. I'd always used gun oil or gun grease. Today, I used Mobile 1, 5W 30. Not a single failure to eject, and I went through 100 rounds. In the past I've had ejection/extraction problems after about 50- 60 rounds; quite annoying. I can't be certain the difference was the lubricant, it could have been ammo brand, as the range seems to sell different ammo every time I go there. So, the jury is still out. But, I was pleased.
As with the LCP, YMMV. I had a fun day: Krav in the morning, range in the afternoon.:danceban:

To return to an earlier theme: being "rich" just isn't as big of a deal as you think it is. After all, what place could possibly be richer than California?
To quote one of my favorite movies (Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, but probably countless other movies as well), "It's all about the money, boys!". Or to be more specific again, all about the credit. And when it comes to that credit, Kazakhstan and Mexico are looking better than California.
This sort of thing is literally keeping me up at nights right now. It's not just California at this point. We're in a tight spot (to quote the same movie again), and the Obama administration is doing nearly everything it possibly can to replicate the problem on a national scale. If that happens, Americans, unlike those Californians fleeing to Utah, don't have anywhere to which we can "R-U-N-N-O-F-T."
Okay, I'll stop quoting the movie now.
Wait a sec, wasn't it set in the Great Depression?
How we think about e-waste is in need of repair.

Kiss and Nirvana to be inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Kiss and Nirvana will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2014.
Kiss led the fan voting, which was incorporated with votes from music-industry insiders, historians and other artists. Nirvana came in second place.
"I'd like to thank the committee not only for this induction, but also for recognizing Nirvana for what we were: pure rock and roll," Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl said. "Most of all, thank you to all of the fans that have supported rock and roll throughout the years, and to Kurt and Krist, without whom I would not be here today."
"This is a great honor," bassist Krist Novoselic said. "Thank you to the people who nominated and voted for us. Thank you most of all to Kurt Cobain. And to everyone who's kept rock music going strong for 60 years and counting."
"For 40 years, Kiss has built an army that apologizes to no one, and I'm honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame knowing we have remained true to ourselves and our fans," Kiss frontman Paul Stanley wrote on the band's website.
Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oats, Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens will also be inducted as part of the 2014 class.
The induction ceremony is April 10 in Brooklyn, New York.
This is the second year that fans were able to vote on nominees.
Nirvana will be inducted after their first year on the ballot. Kiss was previously nominated in 2010.

Weekend Preview: IceCaps tangle with Sharks, Monarchs Posted by IceCaps on
Friday, Dec. 27
ICECAPS (15-11-1-2, 33 PTS | 3rd Place, Atlantic) AT SHARKS (12-11-1-1, 26 PTS | 5th Place, Atlantic)
Puck Drop: 9:00 PM NT | Watch: AHL Live | Listen: stjohnsicecaps.com, 930 AM
The St. John's IceCaps return to the ice again on Friday and Saturday after a 12-day Christmas break to face a pair of division rivals, the Worcester Sharks and Manchester Monarchs, as they prepare to wrap up 2013.
The month of December has been kind to the IceCaps as they posted four wins and two losses in six games.
The IceCaps haven't played since a 3-2 loss to the Toronto Marlies at Ricoh Coliseum on Dec. 15.
IceCaps forward Eric O'Dell enjoyed the team's recent road trip through Southern Ontario as he is currently riding a three-game point streak in which he put up one goal and four assists to give him 29 points so far this season, good for a tie for fifth place in American Hockey League scoring. His hard work and strong play didn't go unnoticed by the IceCaps parent club, the Winnipeg Jets, as O'Dell earned a callup on Dec. 17.
The St. John's IceCaps struck first but were unable to hold the lead as the Toronto Marlies surged to a 3-2 victory over the IceCaps at Ricoh Coliseum on Dec. 15.
After the teams skated to a scoreless opening frame, IceCaps rookie rearguard Brenden Kichton opened the scoring and beat Marlies goaltender Drew MacIntyre with his sixth goal of the season at the 5:04 mark of the second period.
The Marlies' Brad Ross notched his third goal of the year on the power play in the last minute of the second period to tie the game heading into the final frame.
With Toronto's Josh Leivo in the box for hooking during the opening minute of the third period, the Marlies' Carter Ashton scored a shorthanded goal just under two minutes into the period to give Toronto its first lead of the night.
Andrew Gordon's tenth goal of the year just over four minutes later tied the game for the IceCaps but Toronto's David Broll scored the eventual game winner less than two minutes later as the IceCaps were unable to beat MacIntyre throughout the rest of the period. Both Gordon and Kichton finished the game with two points apiece.
MacIntyre earned first star honours for his 31-save performance, while the newly recalled Michael Hutchinson started his first game of the season for the IceCaps and made 17 saves in taking the loss. | HIGHLIGHTS
NOTES FROM LAST GAME: Not dressed: Cody Lampl, Jordan Hill, Josh Lunden, Eddie Pasquale, Travis Ehrhardt, Austen Brassard… St. John's went 0-for-3 on the power play and 4-for-5 on the penalty kill… Brenden Kichton extended his point streak to four games (2G, 4A during that span)… Molson Canadian Three Stars: 1. Drew MacIntyre 2. Carter Ashton 3. Brenden Kichton. Mary Brown's Hardest Working Player: Kyle Mackinnon.
INJURY UPDATE: Josh Lunden (undisclosed)
Dec. 26: Julian Melchiori (D) recalled from loan by Winnipeg (NHL) Dec. 18: John Albert (C) Returned on loan from Winnipeg (NHL) Dec. 17: Eric O'Dell (C) Recalled from loan by Winnipeg (NHL) Dec 15: Michael Hutchinson (G) Reassigned by Winnipeg (NHL) to Ontario (ECHL). Travis Ehrhardt (D) Released from PTO. Dec. 13: Michael Hutchinson (G) Reassigned by Winnipeg (NHL) from Ontario (ECHL).
IceCaps leading scorer Eric O'Dell's hard work and strong play this season has caught the attention of the Winnipeg Jets, earning him a callup to the big club on Dec. 17. To date, O'Dell has yet to register a point in four games played and has recorded four penalty minutes and two shots on goal… IceCaps rookie defenceman Brenden Kichton has not only taken over second place in team scoring, he is quickly gaining ground in the American Hockey League scoring race. To date, he is leading the league in rookie defenseman scoring with 22 points in 29 games played, also good for fourth place in overall league defenceman scoring, just five points behind Toronto's TJ Brennan. His 22 points places him just outside the top 30 in overall league scoring… Notching the first goal of the game and holding early leads are crucial for all teams in the league and the IceCaps are no exception. The IceCaps boast an impressive 8-1-0-1 record when holding a lead after the opening period and hold an equally-impressive 11-1-0-1 record when leading after two periods. By comparison, the IceCaps hold a losing record when tied after one (4-6-0-1), tied after two (3-3-0-1), when trailing after one (3-4-1-0) and when trailing after two (1-7-1-0).
Despite holding down last place in the Atlantic Division, the Worcester Sharks have had the IceCaps' number so far this season.
In four games against the Sharks, the IceCaps have registered just one win and scored just six goals against goaltenders Harri Sateri and Troy Grosenick.
The Sharks collected a 3-0 victory in the two teams' lone game in Worcester this season on Nov. 2. The next three games in St. John's all needed extra time to settle the score. Jerome Samson scored the OT winner in a 3-2 IceCaps victory on Nov. 13. The teams' next two games both resulted in Sharks shootout victories, a 3-2 win on Nov. 15 and a 2-1 victory on Nov. 16.
STJ: Jerome Samson 4 PTS (4G) | Andrew Gordon 4 PTS (1G, 3A) | Eddie Pasquale (1-1-1, 1.95 GAA, .923 SV%)
WCR: Daniil Tarasov 3 PTS (2G, 1A) | Brodie Reid 3 PT (1G, 2A) | Harri Sateri (2-0-0, 1.38 GAA, 0.944 SV%)
RECENT ACTION: DEC 22: HER 4 WOR 0 | Hershey Bears' forward Josh Brittain's first period goal was all the Bears needed as they walked over the Worcester Sharks 4-0 at the Giant Center on Dec. 22.
John Mitchell's first of the game early in the second period pushed Hershey's lead to two. The Bears struck again early in the third period as Nicolas Deschamps netted his eighth goal of the season. Mitchell scored a shorthanded goal into the empty net with 3:30 left in the game to end the scoring as well as Worcester's two-game winning streak.
Hershey's starting goaltender David Leggio stole the show, making 44 saves for the victory. Worcester's Harri Sateri stopped 30 of the 33 shots he faced in a losing effort.
TRANSACTIONS: Dec. 13: Freddie Hamilton (C) Returned on loan from San Jose (NHL) Dec. 12: Dan DaSilva (RW) Released from PTO
Saturday, Dec. 28
ICECAPS (14-10-1-2, 33 PTS | 3rd Place, Atlantic) AT MONARCHS (21-5-1-4, 47 PTS | 1st Place, Atlantic)
Puck Drop: 8:30 PM NT | Watch: AHL Live | Listen: stjohnsicecaps.com, 930 AM
PREVIOUS MATCHUPS: The Manchester Monarchs may be leading the American Hockey League with 47 points but the St. John's IceCaps have seen success against the league's top team thus far this season. The two teams have split four games this season. The IceCaps picked up a 3-2 victory on Oct. 25 but dropped the next contest the following day 5-3. The teams again split a two-game set in November, as St. John's exploded for five goals in a 5-2 victory at Mile One Centre on Nov. 8 but Manchester squeaked out a 3-2 victory on Nov. 9.
Both teams may be missing key players as the teams prepare to face off. IceCaps forward Eric O'Dell has amassed seven points in four games against Manchester this season, but is currently with the team's parent club in Winnipeg. Manchester's Tyler Toffoli scored two goals and added two helpers in just a pair of games against the IceCaps this season and goaltender Martin Jones started all four games against the IceCaps, but both players are currently on recall with the Los Angeles Kings.
STJ: (x) Eric O'Dell 7 PTS (1G, 6A) | Kael Mouillierat 5 PTS (3G, 2A) | Eddie Pasquale (2-1-0, 2.34 GAA)
MCR: Jordan Weal 5 PTS (5A) | (x) Tyler Toffoli 4 PTS (2G, 2A) | (x) Martin Jones (2-2-0, 3.27 GAA)
RECENT ACTION: DEC 21: MCR 2 BRI 1 | Goaltender Jean-Francois Berube stood tall and made 30 saves as the Monarchs held on to defeat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 2-1 from Webster Bank Arena on Dec. 21.
Brandon Kozun opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season at 14:43 of the second period and Jordan Weal pushed the lead to two with his eighth of the season early in the third period. Bridgeport's Scooter Vaughan cut the deficit to one with his first of the year at 8:26 of the third period but Berube was strong between the pipes down the stretch to secure the victory.
Dec. 26: Mathias Niederberger (G) Recalled from loan to Ontario (ECHL). Dec. 19: Linden Vey (C) Returned on loan from Los Angeles (NHL).

text: The Passover meal commemorated the death of the firstborn of the Egyptians and the deliverance of the Israelites (Ex 12:14). More than that, it was a reliving in the present of those events, a bringing of them into the present so that those participating could think of themselves as experiencing the exodus. As the Mishnah put it, In every generation a man must so regard himself as if he came forth himself out of Egypt (Pesahim 10.5). I consider Jesus words, This is my body (Mark 14:22), in the same way. The bread brings the body into the present. The presence is real, but not literal. The meaning of the event is made present once more. Similarly, the remembrance (anamnesis) of 1 Corinthians 11:24-25, according to the Jewish background, was neither simply mental recollection nor the actual repetition of something but the celebration of a past event in order to live in its experience and to participate in its redemptive qualities. The historical deliverance is unrepeatable, but its effects are reaffirmed.
