This is not a full list of every ghost story I love. That would be far too much to wade through even for the most dedicated of horror fans. :) I tried to do a little cross section of ghosts, paranormal and other worldly films that might have either been missed or that might not have been seen in a long while. The genre is filled with brilliance and real lamers, so it's hard to sift through at times. I hope this list provides a little light at the end of the tunnel when searching.
Go into the liiiiight. :)
The Innkeepers
Check out the review here.
LOVED this film.
Wake Wood
Wake Wood was held up as HAMMER STUDIOS return to the horror arena and it did not fail to please. The positive buzz was warranted - it was a very strong film with some grand little nuggets within it . Off the radar for a lot of mainstream audiences, this was was a sleeper hit that had horror fans grinning. The story was similar to PET CEMETERY, but the execution was slightly different and the tone was obviously far less "80s". Great stuff.
A Tale of Two Sisters (Korea)
Another one we've reviewed before:
This has to be one of my favorites of all time. A strong story with equally strong acting are topped off with some really shocking and creepy visuals. It's a great tale.
Carved: The Slit Mouthed Woman (Japan)
I tossed this on one night while working on a project and thought that it was just going to be background filler while I worked. Something I'd half glance at when I heard the music ramp up. However, I found myself locked in from the very beginning and thought it held up really well throughout. We have our basic, scary woman story going here. The legend of the Slit Mouth Woman - a horrible lady that killed. Well, this film doesn't pull any punches with that tale. The malicious spirit comes after children and...man...she really goes after them. It's shocking - there are not many magical saves here. And the dark ending is grand.
The Legend of Hell House (1973)
A fantastic haunted house film that follows two psychics, a scientist and his wife as they attempt to "clean away" the spirits that occupy Hill House. Needless to say, they have their work cut out for them. Read more about the Hill House movies here.
I recently re-watched this chilling little story and it's really good. REALLY good. The acting, the story and the execution are all top notch and it makes for a fun watch. It's also a super clean film - well lit and out in the open with it's scares and effects. I was taken aback on my second viewing, honestly. I'm so used to the use of night vision cameras and shadows these days, but James Wan puts it all out there for you. A great ghost story!
House (1986)
This comedy horror nugget was huge "back in the day" around the video store and on the pay cable circuit. :) When it hit cable, I remember watching it a few times and loving it every step of the way. A good and goofy romp and well worth checking out.
House (Hausu Japan 1977)
This film...is fucking crazy. I'm sorry, but that's really the only way to put it out there. I watched this with a few friends and that exact phrase was used several times as we watched color swirl, heads fly and the dark path this film takes it's characters on get more and more odd. It's as if THE WIZARD OF OZ, THE RING and HR PUFNSTUF were all blended and served on a bed of narcotics. It was an wondrous and strange experience. It's truly mind altering. Suggested viewing time: 11:30pm
This film manages to combine two things I love expertly - submarine movies and ghost movies. As if subs were not claustrophobic enough, something seems to be haunting one that picks up survivors from an attack at sea during World War II. An interesting story and some grand acting with a dash of terror.
House on Haunted Hill (1959 and 1999)
This is one of the rare cases (another one to follow shortly) where I think it is very interesting to watch the original and the remake close together. I recently watched the original and found myself scratching my head from time to time and wondering what they were thinking with the script. heheh A group of people is invited to stay the night on haunted hill. If they make it, they get a nice payout of cash. But, will they live through the night?
Vincent Price turns in a great performance and the film is a fun, dark old house movie, but it's strange and slow and full of 1950s over-acting that brings more giggles than scares. However, it does have some creepy visuals.
The remake is the same plot, but with more ghosts and a CGI backbone that's a lot of fun. Geoffrey Rush tries out a John Waters imitation, but it seems more like Price. Either way you take it, it's a win. Fun and light and full of ghosties!

13 Ghosts (1960 and 2001)
|13 Ghosts - 1960
|13 Ghosts - 2001
The Woman in Black
This 2012 remake of the 1989 film (based, of course, on the novel of the same name...) is a great retelling. Daniel "Harry Potter" Radcliffe turns in a non-Potter performance and managed to make me forget he was Potter for so many years. It's a dark and gloomy story in the great gothic tradition and it was a good watch. A mystery unfolds and there is just enough on the effects front to sell it, but not enough to wash it over into the abyss of computer driven dreck. Above all, it raises the bar for the film, taking it up from the good, yet super dry 1989 film. Great for a rainy night!
Stir of Echoes
I smell bacon. KEVIN Bacon. Sorry.
This was a great film. Bacon was coming back into view and breaking away from being FOOTLOOSE and prancing. Here, he's a guy that gets wrapped up in a mystery after a party trick of sorts goes really wrong. If you like ghostly mysteries, check this out. I think you'll dig it and it's story.
I'll file this one under "Guilty Pleasure" film. It's great for what it gives - grim grinning ghosts and over the top effects work. It seems that performing rituals in graveyards really is not a great thing to do. Like, at all. :) A small group manages to release some truly nasty spirits and seek help with putting them back where they belong from some experts in the field. Of course, real world experience is different that assumptions and fact based guesses. The little lady in the picture is one of my favorite bits of evil from a movie. The makeup is just creepy. I love it. Great little popcorn flick.
Again, am I the only one who loved this film? Yes, I read the SHORT SHORT SHORT King story and, yes, stretching the fantastic tale of a skeptical, ghost hunter who spends one night in the VERY haunted Room 1408 into a feature film did seem like madness, but I thought they did an amazing job. John Cusack knocks it out of the park, Mikael Håfström's Direction is spot on and the effects are fun and damned creepy at times. Well worth a watch. If you don't think so, please leave a comment and let me know what you thought. I'd love to hear.
Apartment 143
I'm still wondering why I didn't dislike this film. It had all the earmarks of a "fast forward the stream" movie I'd watch back to back with four other films in a two hour span one night, but I found myself watching and wondering what was going on in Apartment 143. What was going to happen next. Who was in there with the family and the investigators. I think it was the story and acting that carried it.
More on Apt. 143 here: http://horrorsho.blogspot.com/2012/10/apartment-143.html
Forget Me Not
Story plays a key role yet again (go figure) in this teen horror film turned horror nugget. I'm not going to say much more than I already said in the full article. If you like ghost stories with a twist, check this one out! http://horrorsho.blogspot.com/2011/12/forget-me-not.html
The Orphanage
Whoa. Just....whoa. Atmosphere, story, acting and dark, terror filled moments come together perfectly here. I'll lever look at hide and go seek the same way again. Ever. Great film.
The Others
More gothic, story driven haunting in this Nicole Kidman vehicle. A mother and her two photosensitive children try to live out their lives, but strange goings on start to wrap them in more and more mystery and terror. The film was shot really well. The children being light sensitive meant that the majority of the film had to be shot in low levels of light. This makes for a fantastic and spooking old house location that's GREAT for a dark and stormy night.
The Sixth Sense
Ok...it's M. Knight before people hated him. You've seen it or heard about it. Bruce Willis is great in it. Haley Joel Osment "sees dead people". Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know. But, it's SO GOOD. Really, if you have not watched it in a while, give it another look. It still holds up.
The Innocents
Another gothic tale from 1961. Don't bother watching the trailer - it does it absolutely no justice. The studio wanted to make it look like a non-stop thrill ride. It's anything but. It's a dark and beautifully shot tale of ghosts and madness and loneliness that is shot in rich and glorious black and white.
A governess for two children starts hearing and seeing things and starts to believe that the home is haunted. The downward spiral is amazing to behold.
The Shining
You know what the plot is now - man and his family watch a hotel in the off season. Snowed in, things start to go really wrong. Ax, Jack, snow, blood, twins, drinks, showers, mazes, fingers that talk and :::shiver::: Shelley Duvall. Yes, you've seen this. I know. But, just stop and watch it again. Really watch it. Watch the performances. Watch the camera work. Catch the slow slow fades from one scene to another in the beginning and watch how they change drastically as you make your way to the end. This is a work of art. This film is more than ghosts and scares. It's really disturbing. :)
Session 9
This film is fantastic, but don't watch it if you're in a down state of mind. It'll push you right over into depression. You can feel the atmosphere. Feel the tension and the sorry state of the characters within it. A hazmat crew takes on a job and has to lower the time frame, adding to the pressure that is already on them to complete things. Everything is riding on the job going well. It might be a little easier if the job wasn't cleaning up an abandoned asylum. One with secrets. Man, this film always gets under my skin!
The Fog (1980)
This is a fun film. Just good old John Carpenter doing what he does best. There is something in the fog and the fog is creeping inland just in time for an anniversary celebration the town of Antonio Bay is having. Coincidence?
The story is grand and the creep factor is always fun. Outrun the fog or get caught by what's lurking in it. Being born and raised in Marin County California and a current San Francisco resident, the fact that this was shot in Point Reyes (at the lighthouse) , Bolinas and Inverness is fun as well.
And, you have Adrienne Barbeau and Jamie Lee Curtis staring. Mee-YOW! :)
Good fun!

"Relationships that are mutual and loving, relationships that are monogamous, life-long intentioned and faithful - that's what the church is about to bless I hope," he told the BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The Church of England threatened to split over the recent appointment to the post of Bishop of Reading of the gay priest Canon Jeffrey John, who was forced to step down.
But Canon Robinson of New Hampshire said even if Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams did not give his personal blessing, his appointment would go ahead.
"I would hope some day that he would acknowledge this as a good and positive step in the right direction...[but] I don't believe that his blessing is prerequisite to us taking action here," he said.
Practising homosexual
Unlike Canon John, Canon Robinson says he is not celibate.
"I think it's important to understand that celibacy is a gift given to some but certainly not to all," he told the BBC.
Canon Robinson says he left his wife when God called him to acknowledge himself as a gay man.
He describes that decision as the biggest risk of his life, but says he has been rewarded by the love of a wonderful partner with whom he has lived for the past 13 years.
Canon Robinson has served the diocese of New Hampshire for nearly 30 years and is considered eminently qualified to be a bishop.
But his election could have a major impact on the wider Anglican communion.
The Canon has been reportedly described as "the most dangerous man in the American church".
Some 24 conservative bishops in the US have threatened to join others in Asia, Africa and South America to break ties with thier diocese if the appointment goes ahead.

Ovarian Cancer Channel
Topics & Medications
Related Channels
Ovarian Cancer Chemotherapy
The goals of using chemotherapy for ovarian cancer are to control (or even stop) tumor growth, relieve symptoms, and destroy cancer cells that remained in the body after surgery. This treatment method may be administered through a vein or given by mouth. Whether a person experiences side effects will depend on the drugs used and the amount. Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, hair loss, and fatigue.
An Overview of Using Chemotherapy for Ovarian CancerChemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Ovarian cancer chemotherapy may be given to:
- Destroy any cancerous cells that may remain in the body after surgery
- Control tumor growth
- Relieve symptoms of the disease.
Most chemotherapy drugs used for ovarian cancer treatment are given by injection into a vein (intravenously, or IV). The drugs can be injected directly into a vein or given through a catheter, which is a thin tube. The catheter is placed into a large vein and remains there as long as it is needed.
Some anticancer drugs are taken by mouth. However, whether they are given intravenously or by mouth, the drugs enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body.
Another way to give ovarian cancer chemotherapy is to put the drug directly into the abdomen through a catheter. With this method, called intraperitoneal chemotherapy, most of the drug remains in the abdomen.
After chemotherapy is completed, second-look surgery may be performed to examine the abdomen directly. The surgeon may remove fluid and tissue samples to see whether the anticancer drugs have been successful.
Side Effects From Ovarian Cancer ChemotherapyChemotherapy affects normal as well as cancerous cells. Side effects will depend largely on the specific drugs and the dose (amount of drug given). Common side effects of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Numbness and tingling in hands or feet
- Headaches
- Hair loss
- Darkening of the skin and fingernails.
Certain drugs used in ovarian cancer treatment can cause some hearing loss or kidney damage. To help protect the kidneys while taking these drugs, patients may receive extra fluid intravenously.

I think you forgot about big government using the street cameras to milk the working middle class. However while I was appalled about how the big corporations placed their monies in the Cayman Islands and Burmuda, I can't wait to get back to the tropical humble living which I came from after I retire in two more years and go back to lugging pans of water on my head from the well to my abode. Then maybe the wealthy who has been milking me while I was working will be feeling around with their stretched out hands asking "Where did he go." By the way. Can they take it with them if we get just the perfect earthquake in the U.S. They are the ones that made me never wanted kids to have to worry for.

Cultural Feast - this keeps coming up. So I settled on something yummy that includes both of our cultures. Dutch Babies (like oven pancakes) and maple syrup.
Dutch Babies
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting
Place a 10 inch cast iron skillet inside oven and preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a whisk until light. Add milk and stir. Gradually whisk in flour, nutmeg and salt.
Remove skillet from oven and reduce oven heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt butter in hot skillet so that inside of skillet is completely coated with butter. Pour all the batter in the skillet and return skillet to oven.
Bake until puffed and lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove promptly and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
I used a glass pie dish and in one dish I added thinly sliced apples and some cinnamon.

These homemade magnets are a useful and fun way to accessorise your fridge or message boards. From making the salt dough to the final transformation, this workshop is easy! But be careful when you assemble the different parts of the animal and you bake it.
Artist tips :
We suggest varnishing the salt dough magnets in order to preserve the colours over time (always use aerosol, not glycerol, varnish on POSCAs). In fact, salt attracts humidity which can damage the dough elements unless they have been protected.

Financial services company and lender J.G. Wentworth has added three new vice presidents to its management team.
Jeff Frutkin was named senior vice president of home lending marketing and direct-to-consumer. In this role, Frutkin will oversee all marketing for J.G. Wentworth's home-lending business and direct-to-consumer channel and report to John Owens, the company's chief marketing officer.
Before joining J.G. Wentworth, Frutkin served as head of marketing program management at CNO Financial Group, where he oversaw direct mail, web marketing, emerging markets, reporting and analytics, direct response TV and new product launches for CNO's direct-to-consumer channel, Colonial Penn. Prior to CNO, he also held senior marketing positions at New Penn Financial, Advanta Bank Corporation and HSBC.
Eliot Rudnicki was named vice president of business development, national accounts, where he will manage national partnerships, and focus on engaging affinity organizations and building value-add programs. Rudnicki has more than 20 years of experience in affinity marketing and financial services and began his career with affinity-based credit card marketing firm MBNA. He later held senior management positions with Profit Insight, First National Bank of Omaha, PartnersFirst and Dun & Bradstreet.
Most recently, Rudnicki was the co-founder and CEO of his own consulting firm that focused on the establishment, growth and profitability of consumer mortgage, credit card and other loan businesses and portfolios. Rudnicki and Frutkin will also report to Owens.
John Ritz Miller was named senior vice president and national head of retail lending and will lead J.G. Wentworth Home Lending's retail network. Miller reports to Phil Buscemi, president of J.G. Wentworth Home Lending, and will focus on supporting and growing existing retail offices and identify new retail expansion opportunities for the company.
Miller joins J.G. Wentworth from Movement Mortgage, where he served as regional director of mid-Atlantic operations. Prior to that, he spent more than 17 years at Wells Fargo Home Lending.
"As J.G. Wentworth continues to evolve, recruiting and developing key talent will remain critical to executing our strategic vision," said Stewart Stockdale, J.G. Wentworth's CEO. "Drawing upon the diverse expertise of these new leaders, J.G. Wentworth is well-positioned to accelerate growth and sustain progress toward its goals."
Additionally, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Roger Gasper will be leaving J.G. Wentworth in May after accepting another opportunity outside of the company.
"His move has nothing to do with any disagreements with the company, its management practices or policies. Gasper will oversee all aspects of the first-quarter filing to ensure a smooth transition ahead of his departure," the company said in a press release.
"Since joining J.G. Wentworth in 2013, Roger has made contributions to our organization, for which we are grateful. We thank him and wish him the best in his future endeavors," said Stockdale.

Highway access permits are required for all accesses except single residential driveways on side roads. Controlled Access Highways carry stringent requirements for access, with a preference for an alternate access to your development. A List of Controlled Access Highways is available here, to see whether these requirements apply to you.
Applications for highway access shall include a completed permit application
form, supporting details and documents.
Traffic site plans should show what the finished project will look like, including access design , parking layout and new structures.
What you show on your proposal plans will depend on the magnitude of your development. For simpler developments, such as application for the driveway to your residence, the plans may be simple. Requests for access to a commercial, industrial, or multi-family development will require the preparation of a more detailed traffic site plan.
Site plans should contain all the information in the above diagram, including:
In addition, the plans should be:
Traffic Site Plans should show what the finished project will look like, including access design, parking layout and new structures. Commercial Access has an example of a traffic site plan.
Development Approvals staff will review your application to ensure that the development meets with certain design criteria and safety standards, including:
Safe entry must take into account:
Determining sight distance can be complex. Section
5.2.12 of the Planning and Designing Access to Developments Manual lists some circumstances
to bear in mind. You may want to consult a qualified professional or contact
your District Transportation Office. Documentation
for site distances are available in the Transportation Association of Canada
Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads.
A Development Approvals technician may contact you to:
Section 2: Approval Process contains more information about the approval process.
To obtain a highway access permit, the property must have frontage on a dedicated public road constructed to a suitable standard.
If you require access for land not having highway frontage, give the legal description of the other parcel involved, including the name of the owner(s).
Apply for a highway access permit.
You can proceed with construction of access over an unconstructed right-of-way, but the Ministry of Transportation will not maintain any part of it.
If you choose to go ahead, the Ministry asks you not to disturb any water courses, nor cut any trees on the unconstructed right-of-way.
Apply for a permit to build the access. The Ministry can provide a Letter of Comfort,
if requested, so that you can obtain a building permit.
In large developments, the following factors frequently govern driveway locations:
All commercial developments will be checked to determine if a transportation design report is required. The parking layout diagrams below give a simple introduction to the issues that you and the Ministry of Transportation need to consider.
As planning a commercial access can be a complex undertaking, please contact the local District Transportation Office and ask for development approvals staff. In addition, you can find more information in the Planning and Designing Access to Developments Manual.
The minimum desired spacing between driveways depends on the classification
of road, and reflects the differences in operating characteristics and
desired levels of service for each road class.
Apply for an ordinary highway access permit.
Resource and Industrial Crossings are regulated according to Section 5 of the Industrial Roads Act.
In resource and industrial crossings, the following factors frequently govern access considerations:
For highways which have been designated as "controlled access" under Section 48 of the Transportation Act, a Controlled Access Permit is required. See Controlled Access Highways for more details on regulatory authorities.
See a list of controlled access highways , to determine if you need a controlled access permit.
The Ministry developed the Controlled Access Permit
process so that it could:
For these reasons, development applications will be checked to determine if a transportation design report is required.
Check with the Planning Department of your local government to see that the land use which you want the driveway to serve is permitted within their zoning or land use guidelines.
In all cases, alternate access for the proposed development will be required
where a secondary street system exists rather than allowing direct access
to a Controlled Access Highway (see Section 5.2.7 Planning & Designing Access to Developments Manual.)
The Ministry will consider access to a Controlled Access Highway
only where:
Where direct access is allowed, the development
design should be able to take advantage of future alternate access when it
is available.
Following the review, Ministry staff may prepare a permit containing all the applicable terms and conditions which must be met in conjunction with the construction of the access(es). You will receive the permit, or in the event that the permit is withheld, you will receive a letter outlining the reasons your application was refused. If you believe that the reasons for refusal can be surmounted by revised design or layout considerations, contact the District Transportation Office.
Apply for a controlled access permit.
On numbered routes and controlled access highways, you need a permit to construct any driveway or other highway access. If you are planning to build a single family driveway on a side road outside a municipality, then you do not need a permit. The Ministry of Transportation has provided a Residential Driveway Information Guide to assist you with design and construction of your driveway.
If you are building a single-family driveway, you may still find the Residential Driveway Information Guide mentioned above helpful. You will need to pay extra attention to sight distances on numbered routes.
Multi-Family accesses will be checked to determine if a transportation design report is required. Ask your District Development Technician for more details.
Agricultural Driveways require a permit for construction. If you propose to use large agricultural equipment or access fields and barns with the driveway, you probably need an agricultural driveway. Land use is specified in the application.
Fruit and vegetable stands are a common sight in the agricultural areas of the province. They range in size from seasonal roadside booths to larger commercial buildings selling a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. They are located on numbered (controlled access) highways and on side roads throughout the Okanagan Valley and other parts of the province. They attract locals and tourists alike. Some of the larger stands have become regular stops for tour bus operations. As a result, the Ministry of Transportation has developed special conditions which apply to fruit stand accesses.
As a commercial operation, fruit stand accesses may be 9 metres (30 feet) in width and two accesses may be permissible, if required for traffic circulation. In addition to the normal access considerations (such as drainage, sight distance and driveway surfacing), concrete roadside barriers (CRBs) may be required to define and separate the access locations. There must be adequate parking available on site so that customers are not parking on the shoulders of the public road. Larger fruit stand operations may require parking spaces suitable for longer recreational vehicles and tour buses.
For further information on fruit stand accesses, please contact the local district office of the Ministry of Transportation.
Apply for an ordinary access permit.
To assist in the development of snowmobile trails through out the province, the Ministry of Transportation has developed guidelines on how and where snowmobile trails can be accommodated within a provincial highway right of way.
Location of Trails:
For safety purposes, due to the interaction of snowmobiles and motor vehicle traffic, snowmobile trails should be located outside of the highway right of way wherever possible. However, the ministry realizes that in some situations, due to physical constraints such as rivers or cliffs, snowmobile trails cannot operate outside of the highway right of way. Therefore, the Ministry of Transportation will allow snowmobile trails within the highway right of way under certain conditions.
Conditions for trails within right of way:
All snowmobile trails located within a highway right of way must be approved by the Ministry of Transportation. Decisions on wherever to allow a snowmobile trail within a highway right of way will be based on the following criteria:
• The speed of the motor vehicle traffic;
• The amount of motor vehicle traffic;
• The available sight distance – both for motor vehicles traffic and snowmobiles;
• The trail length within the highway right of way;
• The available space between the trail and highway if running parallel to each other; and
• The width of the highway at trail crossings.
Approved snowmobile trails must ensure the safe operation of the trail and the highway. Some of the requirements for constructing a snowmobile trail include:
• Alignment of trail crossings as close to 90 degrees as possible to the highway;
• The ongoing maintenance of snow banks at highway crossings to ensure sight distances; and
• The use of culverts to cross ditches.
The ministry has developed detailed guidelines outlining the conditions for snowmobile trails. For further information, contact your District Transportation Office.
RCMP issued permit requirement:
The Motor Vehicle Act Regulations states that no person shall drive or operate a snow vehicle or snowmobile on a highway in unorganized areas of the Province unless he is the holder of a permit issued by a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stationed nearest to the place where such operation will take place.
Therefore, to operate a snowmobile on a trail within highway right of way the operator must obtain a permit. The purpose of the permit is to ensure that the snowmobile has been registered, licensed and has proper insurance. The permit also makes sure that the operator of the snowmobile has a valid driver's license.

Thanks for the replies.
Thanks for the replies.
Another week, but not much smartdrive use.
At the mall quite often I can't get it to start at all, and when it does start it quickly shuts off with stuttering false starts. There appears to be locations where this happens more than others so I imagine there's electromagnetic interference hotspots. There are so many shopfront security systems, ATMs, escalators etc etc etc that it's impossible to isolate any pattern as to which element is having most effect.
At the park good going across grass when I got it started but couldn't start it readily about 40% of the time. Long push on road from picnic area to toilets made easy with the SD.
When you are pushing to get the Smart Drive motor to start are you doing a lot of small, quick pushes? If so, do one long push, let it start then once its going push again. I was having a lot of trouble getting mine to start but Max Mobility tech support suggested I change the way I push to give the motor a chance to engage and it did make a difference along with switching how the clamp was positioned helped with the traction. Doesn't always work with one long fluid push but the motor definitely started and worked correctly more often.
I have tried to keep to long smooth pushes but there isn't a pattern as at times a very slight push will start the motor. Often the motor starts and quickly goes through a series of stops/starts before giving up instead of keeping engaged. Other times it goes through a series of speed changes to top speed with no extra impetus.
Location does appear to be relevant - in the open air it behaves as expected, indoors especially in 'electric' spaces it's erratic.
If you want to PM me an email address, I can forward the email from Alex (Max Mobility).
josiean1 This morning while out for groceries I used your advice on the push, wow. It's like a different world. Suddenly my SmartDrive works like it used to. One long push and let go. It engages almost perfectly. 9 out of 10. Thanks so much. Really looking forward to having easier now. I still do have the rumble at the drive wheel but I think it's a mounting thing. Alex sent me a different bracket I haven't had the chance to install yet. I will. I will also PM you so you can send me that email. I am learning that with the SD just a little difference makes a big difference. It was a good trip out this morning and, inside the grocery. I used to have trouble in the aisles but I gave a long gentle push and the motor engaged at a low speed. Wanted a little more speed, another long push and I was going. It's great :-)
Trying to put 2 and 2 together, I realise that the last time and also yesterday in the mall that the battery indicator behaved oddly.
In the time at the park yesterday there were 4 lights - full battery. When I started at the mall an hour later there were 3 lights. When I was having trouble in the electric zone I checked and saw that there was only one light and assumed a low battery could be contributing, and now recall that there was only one light the previous time.
Shortly after that, and operating properly, I looked and saw that there were three lights again.
How much will the new SD retail for? Also, can the SD be used without the wristband and instead use the buttons that attach to the frame. Is the new SD waterproof, as I read the old unit had some problems when wet.
A dolla makes me holla, honey boo boo! - borrowed from Honey boo boo child
Hi all,
Are you happy with the SD MX2? My son is 14 and has been using a Quickie 2 lite manual chair for 3 years.On the threshold of high school, he is the perfect candidate for a power assist. We are considering the MX2 for use in school so he can be independent going up ramps and getting around the campus faster and with little or no help. When we tested the MX2 attached to his current wheelchair, the power supply cut off as he was about to go up a ramp. http://youtu.be/i3wLeynTNik He had to slide back down and wheel back up with greater force in order for the motor to kick in.
Second instance - while he was going up an incline the power cut off as soon as he placed the hand with the wristband up on his lap. We are very concerned about the power cut off mid way up an incline. Would appreciate any inputs on
1. Is there a way to prevent this?
2. What can he do if it happens all of a sudden as he is on his own in the school environment with children running about and no one to specifically help him at that stage.
3. Power cut off whn the wristband accidentally taps the wheel rim - any suggestions to avoid this.
4. Will his cell phone in the pouch below his chair interfere? Will his laptop that he carries around on his lap or tucked in the side interfere?
5. How to avoid sudden acceleration? He is smart and intuitive with the functioning and use of a manual wheelchair...so any tips would help.
Do you feel this is the right power assist for him? As I drive a Volvo xc60, I feel this is a good option to complement his folding lightweight wheelchair that he is so comfortable using for the past 3 years. Hence e-motion and such add ons have been rejected in our decision making due to weight and ease of transportation considerations.
Any inputs/suggestions from all of you would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

I have always believed that if there is something to do in this world, there's someone to do it.
This story is one of those stories that makes me believe this. According to Mashable, the latest japanese trend is giving yourself a bagel shaped forehead. People are getting a saline solution injected into their foreheads and then press in the middle to form the dimple.
I guess it's not permanent so you have 18-24 hours to re-evaluate your life but why do we do these things in the first place? Because we do. That is what it is to be human.

An industrial device containing radioactive material reported missing by Malaysian authorities on 20 August 2018 is a reminder that nuclear security is an important security issue that needs attention in Southeast Asia. The device was lost while being transported from Seremban in Negri Sembilan to Shah Alam, Selangor by two technicians of a company that provides testing, calibration and inspection services to heavy industries.
There are concerns that the unknown amount of radioactive iridium contained in the device could cause radiation exposure or be used as a weapon, otherwise known as "dirty bomb". Although there is no nuclear power plant in the region currently, radioactive sources are widely used for civilian applications in medical, industrial, agricultural, and scientific research fields. Without stringent oversight on the use and handling of radioactive materials, there are potential risks of these being accidentally leaked, stolen and used for malicious purposes, or released indiscriminately by non-state actors/terrorists through 'dirty bombs'.
Hence, a key point to note is that the security of radiological material is an important component of nuclear security. According to the latest Global Incidents and Trafficking Database prepared by the James Martin Centre for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), there were 870 reported incidents involving radioactive materials (theft, missing, leaked, smuggled etc) from 51 countries between 2013 and 2017.
Four of such incidents were reported in Southeast Asia, including one case in Malaysia last year. The need to strengthen radiological security cannot therefore be overstated.
This recent incident highlights the importance of nuclear security to ASEAN. While nuclear security is often understood to be about securing nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons, it is also very much about the security of radioactive materials. As defined by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), nuclear security is "the prevention and detection of, and response to, theft, sabotage, unauthorized access, illegal transfer or other malicious acts involving nuclear material, other radioactive substances or their associated facilities".
Even in the nuclear weapon-free Southeast Asia, there is a broad range of legitimate uses of radioactive material especially in industrial facilities, hospitals, research reactors, and scientific laboratories. For instance, radioactive sources are present in 17 hospitals in Thailand and seven hospitals in the Philippines.
Radioactive material is under the State's regulatory, export and licensing control, but unauthorised removal or loss puts the material out of regulatory control. This is where the potential risk of this being used by an adversary in a malicious act is present. This risk has clear transborder implications.
The risk in the region is further magnified with the presence of extremist groups wanting to use 'dirty bombs', weak maritime security, insufficient border and export controls, and scarcity of adequately trained radiological security responders. The chance that a malicious actor or group could try to get access to radioactive material cannot be ignored.
But apart from the immediate impact of a radiological leak, attack or explosion, there are four major transboundary consequences associated with a nuclear security incident ̶ health, economic, societal and environmental. These consequences are all non-traditional security concerns which should compel all ASEAN member states to enhance cooperation on nuclear security.
Establishing an effective and sustainable nuclear security infrastructure is crucial for the protection of states, people, society and the environment. In ASEAN, there are in place building blocks of a nuclear security infrastructure that needs to be strengthened, beginning with every state that utilises nuclear technology and radioactive material.
National governments are responsible for legal and regulatory framework that governs how security at relevant facilities are maintained and how radioactive material is managed, utilised and transported. While not all ASEAN member states have ratified legally binding nuclear security conventions and voluntarily developed national regulations based on IAEA's code of conduct and guidance on the security of radioactive material, regional cooperation frameworks can help member states strengthen nuclear security.
The ASEAN Network of Regulatory Bodies on Atomic Energy (ASEANTOM) focuses on sharing of best practices, exchange of experiences, assisting ASEAN member states in enhancing their regulatory frameworks, and capacity building through training courses and technical collaboration with other international organisations such as the IAEA and European Commission.

Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz | Review
By Elizabeth Varadan, The Children's Book Review
Published: October 25, 2013
Prisoner B-3087
By Alan Gratz
Age Range: 10 – 14 years
Hardcover: 272 pages
Publisher: Scholastic Press (March 1, 2013)
What to Expect: War, Loss of family, Persecution, Survival
The B-3087 of the title refers to the number that was tattooed on Jack Gruener's wrist in the Nazi camps, where prisoners became numbers instead of names. This book is based on the true story of Yanek Gruener, a young Polish boy who came of age in the Nazi camps—ten of them—during Hitler's years of conquest. Ten years old when the story opens, at first Yanek hoped his father was right; that the Nazi invasion of Poland wouldn't last; that the Allies would defeat Germany. But the war dragged on, and Yanek spent six years in enforced slavery, his survival in question from moment to moment.
This is a novel, but it is based on the true story of Jack Gruener (and, later, his wife, Ruth, whom he married after they survived the war.) Alan Gratz's writing is compelling, as he shows how, little by little, Polish Jews lost one freedom after another, until they were finally rounded up and sent to work camps—camps that were unthinkable in their unrelenting cruelty. Jack Gruener lost everyone in his family. Being the sole survivor fueled his determination to live, and in that sense, it's an uplifting read, a testament to the human will to survive and triumph. A painful but worthwhile read.
I've read a good deal of Holocaust literature, and this was well written for middle school readers. Still, I think follow-up discussions will be necessary; younger readers especially will have so many questions.
This book will appeal to readers grades 5 to 9, who are interested in history and stories about the Holocaust, stories of survival, stories about triumph of the human spirit.

Week in Review: Joe Mauer and Snow Showers
Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 4/9 through Sun, 4/15
Record Last Week: 3-1 (Overall: 7-4)
Run Differential Last Week: +6 (Overall: +14)
Standing: 1st Place in AL Central (0.5 GA)
Joe Mauer's AVG Last Week: .500 (Season: .412)
As a housekeeping note, over the course of the season I will be regularly rotating in and out different tracking stats for the weekly snapshot above. This week I've added Joe Mauer's batting average, which currently leads the majors. He has collected hits in each of his first 11 games and went 6-for-12 with six walks over the past week, reaching base at a .667 clip.
It's only natural that we lead with The Natural himself. Mauer's final hit of the week was the 2,000th of his career. It looked an awful lot like his first one, 14 years earlier:
The signature seeing-eye single also drove in two runs, essentially sealing up Thursday's win against the White Sox. Mauer has been a tremendously effective weapon toward the top of Minnesota's lineup, which produced 17 runs in three games after getting shut out by Houston on Monday.
To celebrate Mauer's milestone achievement, we had a number of articles dedicated to him here on the site:
- I wrote exactly 2,000 words in tribute to the Minnesota-made star, musing about his aptitude for the game, his inexplicable detractors, and his five biggest hits ever
- Ted Schwerzler put together a retrospective on Mauer's career, and drew parallels with Kirby Puckett, who also saw his path altered by health issues
- Matthew Lenz took a quick look at Mauer's future, laying out three options the veteran will face at season's end
While it's easy to focus on Mauer, he wasn't the only bright spot for the Twins during the past week by any means. A day earlier, Max Kepler had delivered the first Target Field walk-off of 2018, burying the Astros with his second home run of the game:
Kepler has looked roundly excellent at the plate in this young season, and already has as many homers as he did last year through mid-May. His presence in the lower half of the order helps equip it with lethal depth, giving Minnesota the ability to churn out relentless rallies, like the eight-run onslaught in the fourth that culminated with Kepler's first bomb.
And not to be forgotten: Jose Berrios, ladies and gents. On Thursday, for the second time in three starts, the right-hander spun an absolute gem, firing seven scoreless frames with 11 strikeouts. Once again, the 23-year-old showed the kind of masterful control conducive to peak performance, throwing 73 of 99 pitches for strikes and issuing zero walks.
As I said this spring while in Fort Myers, where his progress was clearly on display: "If Berrios is staying in the zone and hitting his spots, he's going to be a force. I have zero doubt." Through 20 2/3 innings, he has allowed only one free pass while throwing 68% strikes. He has a 2.18 ERA and opponents are hitting .164/.187/.233 against him. Whew.
Berrios evolving into a true ace is the kind of development that would turn the Twins from scrappy wild-card contenders to a bona fide championship threat. He sure as hell looks the part right now.
Another big component of that World Series recipe is Miguel Sano clicking at the heart of the lineup. This week, what we saw from the big man was a bunch more whiffing and wasted opportunity.
With Brian Dozier raking and Mauer getting on base more than half the time, Sano has stepped up with in plenty of ducks on the pond, but repeatedly failed to cash in this past week. He went 2-for-13 with eight strikeouts, amazingly stranding 20 baserunners in three games.
Sano has looked tentative at the plate, constantly check-swinging and showing a visible lack of confidence in his pitch recognition. He's batting .143 with men in scoring position, which isn't what you like to see from a guy in his position.
On Thursday, Sano did at least flash a glimpse of his immense power, connecting with an outside pitch and driving it high off Target Field's right-field wall for a double. It was a reminder that when the third baseman makes contact, he's pretty much always going to smash it; Sano's average exit velocity ranks fifth in baseball.
But contact has been tough to come by over the first couple weeks. Sano's 48.9% K-rate leads baseball by a wide margin.
On Friday the Twins optioned outfielder Ryan LaMarre to Triple-A. The reason for the move wasn't totally clear, but per this report from the Star Tribune's Phil Miller, it sounds like the team wanted to add another arm due to concerns over Addison Reed's lingering illness. Sure enough, the Twins recalled Alan Busenitz on Sunday, so they'll have another big arm available for a bit.
As Parker notes, the right-hander's combination of premier velocity and spin makes him an intriguing specimen:
However, Busenitz doesn't appear destined to stick around long. The Twins can bring back LaMarre as a 26th player for their two upcoming games in Puerto Rico due to a lengthy travel stipulation, but will have to send him back down afterward, as they can't officially recall him until 10 days after the option. So they'll likely need to shuffle out Busenitz, their ninth reliever, in favor of another outfielder at that point – maybe Zack Granite or Jake Cave.
Eventually the Twins will need to call up another starter. Evidence strongly suggests that Adalberto Mejia, rather than Phil Hughes, was in line to get the call on Friday night. Instead, Mejia worked on Saturday in relief of Aaron Slegers, tossing two innings.
When he's been on the hill, Mejia has looked good, allowing only one run on two hits over four frames with five strikeouts, but circumstances have prevented him from getting into any kind of workload rhythm. We're halfway through April and he still hasn't recorded more than six outs in an appearance.
WIth off days sandwiching the Puerto Rico series this week, Minnesota can again push off its fifth starter decision. The Twins won't have a need until the second game of next week's series in New York. Mejia could be the guy if he gets a full start in this week and stretches out a bit. Hughes, who tossed five scoreless innings at Single-A in Fort Myers on Saturday, should probably be viewed as the favorite. But don't count out Fernando Romero, who was scheduled to start Sunday in Rochester's rainout.
It's not often you see a healthy 23-year-old former No. 4 overall pick, with a 3.10 ERA in the minors and plenty of experience in Double-A, go unprotected and undrafted in the Rule 5. But it speaks to where Kohl Stewart's stock stood as of this past offseason. He's got a lot of work to do in order to earn his way back into Minnesota's plans, but took a great first step in his 2018 debut for Chattanooga on Monday, striking out nine with zero walks over five innings of one-run ball. He was cruising along again in his second start Sunday, carrying a perfect game into the fifth, but gave up a three-run homer in the sixth.
Returning to the field after losing all of 2017 to Tommy John surgery, Twins Daily No. 5 prospect Alex Kirilloff started a bit slow in Cedar Rapids, going 1-for-12 in his first three games, but busted out big-time last week with multiple hits in three games, including a two-homer outburst on Wednesday. It's safe to say one of the best bats in the Twins system is back on track.
At Chattanooga, No. 4 prospect Stephen Gonsalves continues to make his case for an overdue Triple-A promotion, and for being in the Twins' fifth starter mix. He logged four more scoreless innings on Thursday and hasn't allowed a run in two starts.
No. 1 prospect Royce Lewis launched his first Single-A home run on Thursday in Peoria, yanking one out to left off 22-year-old Cardinals prospect Jake Walsh with two runners aboard. The big bop sparked a comeback for the Kernels, who were down 4-0 at the time and wound up winning 9-5.
The Twins will happily leave behind this miserable endless winter in favor of much warmer environs, traveling to San Juan for a two-game set against Cleveland. Minnesota is billed as the home team, meaning they'll get last ups. Then it's back to the mainland for a manageable three-game road matchup against a Rays team that's been among baseball's worst.

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Gunmen shot at the convoy of a left-wing Colombian presidential candidate on Sunday but no one was injured, police said, raising tensions ahead of May elections that will center on how to end a five-decade war with guerrillas.
The convoy of Aida Avella of the Patriotic Union party came under fire when it was traveling on a highway in the oil-rich northeastern province of Arauca, where the left-wing FARC and ELN rebels have a heavy presence.
Also on Sunday, President Juan Manuel Santos, who will seek a second term in the May 25 election, said his personal e-mail had been hacked in what he said was a politically motivated act by people who engage in a "dirty war" to grab power.
The Patriotic Union was founded with rebel support in 1985, and around 5,000 members and supporters were assassinated in the years after its creation by right-wing paramilitary groups set up by vigilantes protecting wealthy landowners.
Avella, 65, has around 1 or 2 percent support among the electorate, according to a February poll which put Santos in the lead with 34.7 percent. Earlier this month Avella denounced death threats she said had been made against her.
"This act is an attack on the peace process in Colombia and the right to exercise political opposition. Without guarantees for the opposition there is no democracy," said the head of the Patriotic Union, Omer Calderon.
Police did not say who may have been responsible. Santos said on Twitter that he had given orders for the candidate to be protected by whatever means necessary and for an investigation to be carried out.
The government-supplied armored car in which Avella was traveling with Carlos Lozano, a candidate for the Senate, was not hit, but another vehicle in the convoy had 14 bullet marks, the party said in a statement.
Avella lived in exile for several years after surviving an attack in 1996 by paramilitaries who fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the vehicle she was traveling in on a highway crossing the capital city, Bogota.
Santos took the bold but controversial step of engaging in peace talks with the FARC in 2012 to end a five-decade conflict that has killed more than 200,000. Though many Colombians back the process, it has upset some voters and enraged right-wing politicians who reject negotiating with "terrorists".
Santos said more than 1,000 of his personal e-mails had been illegally intercepted and the accounts of several family members had also been hacked. The center-right president called it a "serious criminal act" aimed at tarnishing his image during the election campaign.
The hacking "coincides with the start of the electoral campaign and suggests political motives which must be investigated to find and punish those responsible," he said in a statement.
Without naming names, Santos said those who "persist in using a dirty war in their struggle for power" might leak his intercepted e-mails during the electoral campaign.
Earlier this month, news weekly Semana reported that rogue military intelligence members had spied on the text messages and e-mails of government negotiators at the peace talks in Cuba. The FARC said its delegates had also been spied on.
The same magazine published recordings a week ago of phone calls by senior members of the military which it said revealed some were receiving huge kickbacks on procurement contracts.
The head of the armed forces, General Leonardo Barrero, was dismissed last week after he was heard in one of the recordings making disparaging remarks about prosecutors in a phone call with an imprisoned officer they are investigating over links to extra-judicial killings by the military.
Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon has announced the creation of an inter-ministerial commission to reinforce protection against cyber-espionage with assistance from experts from Spain, Britain, South Korea and Israel.

Jack Littman is a multi instrumentalist and prolific songwriter, singer, actor and filmmaker. By combining the roots of R&B, Motown, Soul, and Rock and blending live looped vocals; hip-hop beats deep synths and electric guitar, Littman has created a unique style and genre of music all his own. Born in Hollywood, CA into a vibrant artistic community, his father Gregory Littman was a songwriter, and his great grandfather, Jack Neiburg, was a prominent lyricist who collaborated with the likes of George Gershwin. At 13, Jack's true passion for music took off when he first picked up a guitar and began writing songs. Before discovering his passion for music, the 9-year-old Littman started as an actor and first appeared in "A Christmas Carol" (1998) at Pacific Resident Theater, opposite comedy legend Orson Bean. This led to Littman's appearance in the 1998 Rose Bowl Parade along with the prolific actor Mickey Rooney. It was his years in theater that ramped up his acting and filmmaking career. Littman starred as Sam, the son of a Lawman, in "Shiloh Falls" (2007) a thriller western film featuring Danny Trejo. Littman also played Scott in the short film, "The Family Friend" (2011) written by Los Angeles Playwright extraordinaire, Sharon Yablon. In March 2014, he made his first starring role in a short film titled, "Distraction."
In 2010, Littman began his first U.S. tour opening for Atlantic Recording artist Robert Francis across The Knitting Factory venues of the North and Southwest. In 2011, he released The Mixtape, which garnered amazing reviews from blogs such as The Vinyl District, The Burning Ear, Pop Dose and Kick Kick Snare. Following its release, Littman opened for Avi Buffalo at FMLY Fest LA in 2011, and for Tapes n' Tapes at the 2012 SXSW Music Festival. It was then that Littman was personally sought after by BMI Publishing and he singed with them as a songwriter and owner of Neiman Music. Littman is a supporter of social justice for the disenfranchised. In 2012, to support the movement, he sang to thousands of Occupy Wall Street protesters on the steps of the Los Angeles City Hall. In 2011, he wrote the song, "The Whistleblower" that was featured on Chelsea Manning's official fan page, a website to fight for the protections of whistleblowers across America. Following the February 2013 release of The Remedy Vol. 1, Littman joined desert soul band, Black Carl on The Wheel Tour, playing 28 shows across the South and the Northwest in March 2013. He performed to a crowd of over three thousand people at The Youth and Culture Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Littman attracted the attention of prominent KCRW DJ, Chris Douridas, and became the featured artist on his show; "It's A School Night" at Club Bardot in Hollywood. Also in 2014, Littman performed as direct support for Until The Ribbon Breaks at their residency at The Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles. On September 30th, 2016, Littman released "the ad.dress" featuring three singles, exploring different locations throughout our universe. With each track having a story behind it. Continuing Littman's passion for social justice, The Children's Lifesaving Foundation (CLF) a non-profit organization, dedicated to transforming the lives of homeless and at-risk children and families in Los Angeles, has partnered with Littman on his newest album release. The album cover for "the ad.dress" was made exclusively by the children from the CLF foundation. Additionally Littman was a featured performer for CLF's annual Christmas celebration honoring Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo. Littman performed alongside Jessie Pruett of Parker Theory and Greg Camp of Smash Mouth.
Currently, Littman has just finished directing his first feature film that he also wrote and stars in, "Rumble Strip", a post apocalyptic adventure, which is slated for release in 2019. Littman wrote and performed the entire musical score for the film and the song at the end of the credits, "Savior of Fools."
When Littman is not on the road performing or behind the camera filming or acting in plays, Littman can be found at work in his secret studio, where he is busy concocting his next project...


text: Tricky is back. Back with a new studio album, False Idols, and his own new label (also bearing the False Idols name), but also back in a personal sense. "I was lost for ages," he says. "I was trying to prove something to people, trying to do something to please other people and also myself at the same time, which is never going to work. To be honest with you, I've been floating around since Chris Blackwell and Island. My last two albums, I thought they were good, but I realize now they weren't. This album is about me finding myself again." Adrian Thaws is, perhaps, being a bit hard on himself. However, there is no doubt that False Idols stands as his most accomplished album since his earliest works. It opens with a cover of a Patty Smith song, "Somebody's Sins," which sees Tricky and vocalist Francesca Belmonte whispering "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine" over a sparse groaning bass. The lead single "Parenthesis," which features a vocals from Peter Silberman of The Antlers, has more rhythmic grunt, which gives a different dimension to the dark gothic atmosphere that pervades the record. No-one does this kind of thing better. The resemblance to Maxinquaye is undeniable, though the material on False Idols is gentler, more mature. "Of all my records, the majority of people are into Maxinquaye," says Tricky. "That's because it was a time and a place. Maxinquaye was a part of their life. Some people say it was the soundtrack to their youth. You can't challenge that. But musically this is a better album." Many of the songs on False Idols feature artists signed to Tricky's new label, including 24-year Londoner Francesca Belmonte and Fifi Rong. The album also includes collaborations with Nigeria's new global star Nneka, the afore-mentioned Peter Silberman. Why the name False Idols? "Because there's so much bollocks going on at the moment mate," Tricky fires back. "People follow celebrities and read every little thing they do. It's living vicariously through someone else. Get your own life. All this stuff is false idols. That's what helps keep the status quo." As to the label's mission, Tricky puts it thusly: "I signed to Island because of the artists and some of the stuff they've done—Bob Marley, Tom Waits. Who could I sign to now? Am I going to sign to a label because they've got Lady Gaga? I don't want to be part of that bollocks music industry. I'm trying to bring that Island kind of thing back. Obviously False Idols is never going to be an Island Records, but it's my way of trying to keep that part of the music industry going." "This new album I'll stand behind every track," Tricky says. "I don't care whether people like it. I'm doing what I want to do, which is what I did with my first record. That's what made me who I was in the beginning. If people don't like it, it don't matter to me because I'm back where I was."

Lexington, Ky. – For the first time in its five-year program history, the Transylvania men's lacrosse team is headed to the NCAA Tournament.
Using a quintessential performance borne out of their typical patience, precision, and steadfast defense, the Pioneers defeated the Saint Vincent College Bearcats, 12-1 in the Ohio River Men's Lacrosse Conference Championship game Saturday afternoon at Pat Deacon Stadium.
The victory marked the third straight conference tournament title for the Pioneers, to go with their third consecutive regular-season title.
With the ORLC awarding an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in its three-year existence, the Pioneers clinched their first berth into NCAA Tournament play with the historic win on Saturday.
"I'm pretty proud of these young men," said Transylvania men's lacrosse head coach Terry Justice. "I told them when I recruited them that we were going to be in the Division III playoffs; I don't know if they believed me or not, but sure enough, here they are four years later. They've had a heck of a journey and it's been fun to watch them grow into fine young men."
The Pioneers picked up their 13th win of the season as their overall record moved to 13-3, continuing their program-record 12-game winning streak.
Transylvania completed an undefeated run through the ORLC, comprising an 8-0 season against ORLC competition in regular season play, and two more wins against conference foes in this week's conference tournament.
Saturday's game was the second victory of the season for the Pioneers over St. Vincent, who last faced off with Transylvania on March 18 in a 13-7 game that went to the Pios.
The championship rematch was a lower-scoring game that saw the best of both defenses in the first half. Transylvania discovered its offense late as it outscored the Bearcats 8-0 in the second half, and held St. Vincent scoreless over the final 48-plus minutes of the contest.
Senior goalie Cooper Fogle claimed his 13th victory of the season. The veteran netminder posted 10 scintillating saves as he and a group of seven other seniors led the way to the Pioneers' first NCAA Tournament berth. "Cooper Fogle was phenomenal today, and along with our defense, has been so steady all year long," added Justice.
Fellow senior, midfielder Zack Riggs, achieved a hat-trick and an assist in a complete performance by the Pioneers.
The first 15 minutes entailed the best defenses both teams had to offer, while the Bearcats scored the lone goal of the first quarter to carry a 1-0 lead into the second quarter. The Pioneers finally broke through at the 11:01 mark of the second quarter when sophomore attacker Nick Bailey spun and took aim on a right-side shot to tie the game at 1-1.
Bailey's goal ignited a run for the Pioneers as Transylvania scored three more times in the quarter to take a 4-1 lead to the halftime break.
The third quarter featured more of the defensive excellence that occurred in the first quarter as a goal from senior attacker Clark Watts was the lone score.
The Pioneers quickly put the game out of reach in the start of the fourth quarter when freshman attacker Trenton Sneed scored Transy's sixth goal in the first half-minute of the quarter, and freshman midfielder T.J. Toivonen scored the seventh three minutes later.
Transylvania scored five more times in the fourth quarter to sign off on a seismic finish through the ORLC season and advance into the NCAA Tournament.
The one goal allowed matches Transylvania's effort for fewest goals allowed this season on April 22 in a 20-1 win at Bethany.
Transylvania was 22-for-25 on clears, and outgained St. Vincent 32-29 in ground balls.
The Pioneers will find out their first-round assignment, opponent, and location during the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Tournament Selection Show, scheduled for 9:00 p.m. eastern time Sunday evening.
Until then, Transylvania will take time to savor the efforts of its third-consecutive ORLC tournament title.
