Patented Ester-C increases levels of Vitamin C in the body, getting into white blood cells quickly, an important part of your body's immune system. In addition, Ester-C is buffered and non-acidic, so it stays gentle on the digestive system. Once daily Ester-C has your immune health covered. it supports circulation, is beneficial to joints and connective tissues, helps reduce the premature aging of metabolic cells, and forms the basis of healthy hair, skin and nails. Helping to neutralize free radicals, Ester-C also aids in nutritional absorption. The Ester-C with D3 Contains: No Gluten No Yeast No Wheat No Milk or Milk Derivatives No Lactose No Soy No Egg No Grapefruit No Sugar No Preservatives No Artificial Color No Artificial Flavor No Sodium The Ester-C with D3 Bone & Immune Health Complex Difference: The nutritional advantage of a dual-action formula in a once daily complex Active immune system support pH-neutral, non-acidic Ester-C High-potency 5,000 IU delivery of Vitamin D3, a potent and bio-available form of Vitamin D 5,000 IU of Vitamin D intake has been shown to help maintain healthy bone density measures with small amounts of Calcium in older individuals Promotes Calcium and Phosphorus absorption, the building blocks of strong bones and teeth. Ester-CToday Vitamin D is considered more important than ever. Vitamin D3, a potent and bioavailable form of Vitamin D, plays an active role in the absorption of calcium and Phosphorus, the building blocks of bone health. With concern about the damage of long term sun exposure, many of us are not getting the Vitamin D we need from natural sunlight. Non-Acidic Ester0C with D3 Bone & Immune Health Complex combines the advanced active immune system support of pH-neutral Ester-C Vitamin C with high-potency [5,000 IU] Vitamin D3 in a once daily formula. Ester-C with D3 delivers over 10x the recommended daily level of Vitamin D, in a form that closely mirrors the Vitamin D our Body naturally produces. The body produces Vitamin D directly from sunlight, and uses it to better absorb Calcium. If you're not getting enough Vitamin D every day, you may not be able to adequately absorb Calcium from the foods you eat. Your body will then seek out other sources of Calcium including the bone itself, which can impact bone density. Ester-C with D3 Bone & Immune Health Complex provides a smart, healthy way to receive the benefits of a high-potency Vitamin D3 supplement along with the advanced active immune system support of Ester-C Ester-C Is Different – Patented and Clinically Studied Immune SupportPatented Ester-C provides advanced active immune system support. It was specifically developed to stay in your system and be retained in your white blood cells, an important part of your body's immune system. Non-Acidic and Gentle on the StomachTo demonstrate Ester-C's stomach-friendly properties, individuals sensitive to acidic foods were given comparative levels of either Vitamin C as ascorbic acid or of Vitamin C as Ester-C. At the end of the study, it was reported that Ester-C was a well-tolerated form of Vitamin C.2 In addition, Ester-C was significantly tolerated "as very good" more frequently than ascorbic acid. For anyone with a sensitive stomach, Ester-C is the vitamin C of choice. Quick AbsorptionEster-C's unique composition is supported with naturally occurring Vitamin C metabolites. Metabolites make it easier for Vitamin C molecules to transfer from cell to cell. They help enhance the absorption of Vitamin C by our white blood cells…an important part of your immune system. Ester-C's high concentration of these metabolites not only makes it easier for Vitamin C molecules to "transport" through your system, they greatly enhance the retention of Vitamin C levels in these immune cells. Trust Your Immune Health To Ester-C, The Better Vitamin CEster-C is The Better Vitamin C for any season…its benefit to the immune system coupled with its non-acidic properties provide the active immune system support you can depend on in a single 1,000 mg daily dose. And, since it works biologically like other forms of Vitamin C, supplementing daily with Ester-C provides you with powerful antioxidant protection plus all the support of traditional vitamin C: Supports healthy blood flow and circulation Forms the molecular basis for healthy skin, hair and nails Helps maintain enzymes necessary for healthy collagen formation Benefits joints and connective tissue Helps reduce oxidative stress and the premature aging of cells Works synergistically with other vitamins to promote cognitive health Bioactively aids in nutrient absorption Ester-C is offered in a choice of potency levels and delivery forms including vegetarian, liquid, chewable and powder. No matter which delivery form you choose, you are receiving the advanced active immune support that only Ester-C can provide. Immune Support The immune system, which is made up of a complex set of body systems working together, is our first line of defense against millions of microorganisms that invade these systems daily. Stress, pollution, aging, poor nutrition, lack of exercise or sleep also play a role in the effectiveness of the body's immune response – its ability to protect against harmful microorganisms. These organisms are responsible for a host of health conditions and concerns. A well-balanced immune system seeks invading microorganisms and destroys them. Although it may be challenging to keep our immune health strong - not only during the winter season, but throughout the year – American Health offers high-quality nutritional choices to support optimum immune system function. American Health Questions & Answers When will I start to feel the benefits of a dietary supplement?Due to differences in a person's metabolism, general health and lifestyle, it is difficult to determine how long it will take for an individual to reap the full benefits of a dietary supplement. It is recommended that you continue to follow the directions as indicated on the label or consult with your health care practitioner. How important is it to take a daily multivitamin?Experts have historically agreed upon the need for every American to consume an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals to help fill the nutritional gaps in his or her diet. Even vegetarians, who some consider to be the archetype of the healthy lifestyle, may need a multi to get the nutrients their diets don't provide in adequate amounts. In general, our bodies simply cannot obtain all the nutrients we need from the food we eat. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association?, even people who maintain a healthy diet should supplement with vitamins to improve their overall health. Aside from exercise and eating right, a daily multivitamin can help support your immunity, help fight free radical damage, and help your body get the extra support it needs as you age. Look for a whole food concentrate multivitamin, as it supplies your body with naturally occurring nutrients found with fruits, vegetables and whole foods - such as bioflavonoids and antioxidants - in a convenient delivery system. In addition, timed release formulas offer the benefit of both immediate and extended nutritional support throughout the day. What is the best way to stay healthy during the winter months?The goal is to build your immune system and maintain immune wellness. The tried and true remedies are effective: rest, eat healthy foods and drink plenty of fluid. Along with these suggestions include a quality vitamin C supplement such as Ester-C in your diet. Regular intake of Vitamin C is a fundamental way to support immune health, especially with today's active lifestyles. And, since the immune system is challenged every day – not just during the winter- supplementing daily with Vitamin C helps keep immune system response strong in every season. What is so special about Ester-C Vitamin C?In a single daily serving of 1000 mg, Ester-C delivers advanced active immune system support. It increases vitamin C levels in the body – getting into white blood cells quickly, an important part of your immune system. Ester-C is an easy form of vitamin C to take because it is non-acidic and gentle on the stomach; and it was formulated to be absorbed quickly, maximizing retention and absorption of vitamin C in your body. Ester-C is the only patented brand of Vitamin C available today, and its benefits are documented by years of science and clinical research. I've heard that vitamin C can be tough on the stomach. Is this true?Vitamin C is also known as "ascorbic ACID," because it is acidic and difficult to take for many individuals with sensitive stomachs. Because Ester-C is non-acidic, it is well-suited for acid-sensitive and non-acid-sensitive individuals. Can I take probiotics if I am lactose intolerant? Yes, many probiotic products are free of lactose. Check the product label for allergen statements, and always check with your healthcare practitioner before beginning a supplementation regimen. Can I take probiotics while taking antibiotics?Probiotic supplements should be discontinued when taking antibiotics. When I look at the Supplement Facts Boxes of probiotic labels, some refer to the strains as "bio-active microorganisms" while others reference "CFU" or "colony forming units". What do these terms mean?Bio-active microorganisms and "colony forming units" are interchangeable terms to denote the number of probiotic bacteria per serving. Why are there so many different strains in a probiotic supplement? What are their benefits?Different strains of probiotic bacteria are beneficial in different parts of the digestive tract. For example, Lactobaccilli typically colonize in the small intestine while Bifidobacteria will colonize in the large intestine. How does acidophilus contribute to digestive health? Acidophilus is a natural form of probiotic bacteria found mainly in the small and large intestines of the digestive tract. Probiotics is a term used to describe the "good" and "healthy" bacteria. Two main types of acidophilus are lactobacilli and bifidobacteria acidophilus, which can be obtained through fermented daily sources as live culture yogurt. However, the potency and bacteria strains vary greatly in yogurts, so if you are looking for a higher count of clinically studied strains, you may want to consider supplementation.Your digestive tract is an important system in maintaining a healthy lifestyle through healthy digestion. It is important to supplement because, as we age, the composition of intestinal microflora can be altered due to antibiotics, poor eating habits, stress and certain health conditions that result in occasional diarrhea. By maintaining a proper balance of intestinal microflora, we are able to increase the acidic environment of the intestines, which allows our bodies to maintain healthy bacteria. It will also support proper digestion, healthy immune function- (70% of immune cells are located in the gastrointestinal tract) - and allows us to properly absorb nutrients from the foods we eat. What exactly is digestive health?It is more than just an upset stomach and regularity. Research now suggests digestive health is a key contributor to immune health. Digestion is a complex process of transforming the food we eat into energy while ridding our system of waste and toxins. Not only is the gut important to digestion, but it is critical to the overall performance of the immune system. Here the gut is able to recognize and reject microorganisms that may challenge the body's defense system. Research suggests that probiotics help to support the barrier in the intestines which aid in the protection against harmful agents. We all have both good and bad bacteria in our systems. We need the good bacteria in our digestive tract to help keep the bad bacteria in check. Probiotics have been shown to stimulate the growth of good bacteria in the intestinal tracts, help replenish depleted good bacteria after taking antibiotics, encourage proper nutrient absorption and promote immune health. What could effect the balance of digestive health?Ideally, the digestive tract should contain a balanced ratio of good bacteria and bad bacteria. Stress, poor diet, disease and even medications are just a few of the things that can disrupt digestion and its healthy balance of bacteria in our system. Probiotics add back the good bacteria which helps maintain this natural balance of organisms (microflora) in the intestines. Part of the decline of the good bacteria is due to increased usage of higher and stronger antibiotics. Many of us have been told by healthcare professionals to eat yogurt because antibiotics kill both the good and bad bacteria. Good bacteria have now become casualties in our mission to provide a cleaner and healthy world. Recently, with the introduction of "antibacterial products," we have been on a mission to rid our environment from disease and all bacteria. In combination with food safety regulations, increased additives in our foods and heat processes used to extend shelf life, neither the bad nor good bacteria are surviving the manufacturing process. To restore a level of digestive wellness, we need to put the good bacteria back into our systems. What role do Enzymes play in digestive health?Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that convert food into nutrients your body can absorb, and making these nutrients available for the body's energy needs, cell growth and other vital functions. There are many different types of digestive enzymes with specific roles - amylases are responsible for breaking down carbohydrates into simple sugars, lipases breakdown fats into fatty acids, and proteases break down proteins into amino acids – together they promote complete and proper digestive balance. Enzymes are produced naturally by the body during the digestive process; however we all do not produce enzymes at the same levels – some more some less. In fact studies suggest our bodies decrease enzyme production overtime. While enzymes are produced mainly in our digestive system they can also be found in some whole foods like papaya, which is a rich source of the enzyme papain, a powerful protein-dissolving natural enzyme. Enzymes promote nutrient absorption, natural regularity, immune health and gastric wellness. Supplementing with a quality enzyme formula is a basic approach to supporting proper digestive wellness.

Why General Education?
Why does James Madison University place so much emphasis on its General Education Program?
Linda Cabe Halpern, JMU Vice Provost for University Programs
First of all — the phrase itself is often misunderstood by those who are not part of the higher education community. "General education" is the name given to program requirements for all students, beyond the major or degree. It is not necessarily general, in the most common sense of the word, but it is intended to be both broad and broadening. General education programs often have names that celebrate institutional identity or values. The JMU program is entitled "The Human Community," because we believe it is the component of a Madison education that unites our students into an academic community and also demonstrates the interrelatedness of humans across time and place. The program emphasizes breadth of study, exploration of multiple ways of thinking and knowing across a variety of content areas, and the ability to integrate information and ideas from a variety of sources and perspectives.
It will teach you to think more clearly and better evaluate evidence.
Higher education in the U.S. has embraced the ideal of a broad liberal arts foundation for all students since at least the nineteenth century. This emphasis on breadth and the idea that a liberal arts education is a necessary component of a college degree are accepted aspects of higher education in the U.S., but are not universally shared in the global community. A core belief, not just at JMU but throughout U.S. higher education, is the conviction that all students grow as humans and are more able to think clearly and evaluate evidence and ideas because of participating in an education structured to celebrate learning for its own sake.
Liberal arts students are better prepared to be engaged citizens.
Liberal education, or liberal arts education, comes from a Latin root meaning "free." Historically, it was the education for free people, who were expected to be active in public life in some way. Here at James Madison University, we also recall President Madison's conviction that higher education was the best defense of liberty—not because it taught particular subjects or job skills, but because its emphasis on reason and evidence was the best remedy for cant and unconsidered reactions of all sorts. Following this tradition, we believe in general and liberal education as a core component in preparing students for participatory democracy. This is the reason the JMU seal includes the phrase, "knowledge is liberty."
You will build a foundation of knowledge and important life habits.
Every accredited college and university in the U.S. has a general education program of some sort. Almost all of them include content related to the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, along with courses that address written and oral communication, quantitative literacy, and critical thinking and reasoning skills. JMU's program includes these core attributes.
General education at James Madison University is a 41-credit program, divided into five "Clusters," or areas of study, completed by all undergraduates. While students have choices in most program areas, those choices are intentionally limited in order to provide coherence and consistency in our approach to the core student learning outcomes addressed in a particular area.
Our program is designed to address a number of interconnected goals—development of a broad, integrative, and liberating education; foundational preparation for a major; and the opportunity to develop and practice the habits of sound reasoning and productive communication that form the basis for full engagement in life and work.
Business leaders prize ethical reasoning, communication and quantitative literacy as equal to or more important than hard skills.
A recent report details the priority business leaders place on core areas of learning from ethical reasoning to communication and quantitative literacy. The vast majority of respondents rated these kinds of learning equal to or more important than skills in a major or applied area. One industry leader described her company's search for "T-shaped employees," with depth of knowledge in a particular field of study as well as breadth of preparation. The General Education Program at JMU intentionally lays a foundation for the rest of students' education and for life and work after college by emphasizing writing, oral communication, quantitative literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving, content knowledge across an array of disciplines, and the opportunity to work within the standards of practice in a variety of fields.
You will think more creatively about your major.
While most students come to JMU with some idea about their major, those ideas are often shaped and refined by their experience in their General Education classes. Some add a second major or minor, or discover a field to pursue in graduate study. I recently spent some time with an articulate and engaged student who described what a wonderful experience she had in a freshman critical thinking class taught in the Philosophy Department. Because of that experience, she added a Philosophy minor to her Marketing major, and explained how helpful the training in thought processes and arguments that she received in her minor was to her in preparing marketing ideas for the classes in her major.
Practical career prep isn't enough.
We have given careful thought to articulation between the General Education Program and academic majors here at JMU, in areas as various as information-seeking skills, writing, and quantitative reasoning. Faculty teaching in the General Education Program work hard to understand how best to prepare JMU students for many disciplines and majors. However, it would be a mistake to focus solely on the practical benefits of preparation for a major or a career. These are essential goals for students, families, and society—and for all of us in higher education. However, we share the firm belief that a broad liberal arts education is also a necessary part of the preparation for a wider range of life activities and truly prepares students to be "educated and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful lives."

Posted on 07/28/2012 4:41:49 PM PDT by verum ago
The New Hampshire hospital lab technician indicted last week for infecting 31 people with Hepatitis C might have infected "tens of thousands" of patients in at least 13 hospitals, ABC News has learned.
David Kwiatkowski, a former lab technician at Exeter Hospital in New Hampshire, had allegedly been stealing the Fentanyl syringes intended for patients, injecting his own arm and then refilling those empty syringes with another liquid-like saline, according to a statement from the United States Attorney's Office in New Hampshire.
Since Kwiatkowski tested positive for Hepatitis C in June 2010, he passed it on to the hospital patients who were injected with his used, saline-filled syringes, according to the affidavit.
"If he knew that he was infected and he put those needles back on the shelf, that is the definition of evil," Dr. Richard Besser, ABC News' Chief Health and Medical Editor, told Good Morning America. "Anyone who was in those hospitals when he was working there is potentially at risk. We're talking tens of thousands of people."

I think they should give this guy hard labor until his liver fails, no transplant.
He worked at:
— Oakwood Annapolis Hospital in Wayne, Michigan, January to September 2007;
— Saint Francis Hospital, Poughkeepsie, New York, November 2007 to February 2008;
— UPMC Presbyterian, Pittsburgh, March 2008 to May 2008;
— Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center, May 2008 to November 2008;
— Southern Maryland Hospital, Clinton, Maryland, December 2008 to February 2009;
— Maryvale Hospital, Phoenix, March to June 2009;
— Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, July 2009 to January 2010;
— Maryland General Hospital, Baltimore, January 2010 to March 2010;
— Arizona Heart Hospital, Phoenix, March 2010 to April 2010;
— Temple University Hospital, Philadelphia, April 2010;
— Hays Medical Center, Hays, Kansas, May 2010 to September 2010;
— Houston Medical Center, Warner Robins, Georgia, October 2010 to March 2011.
— Exeter Hospital, Exeter, New Hampshire, April 2011 to July 2012.
Somebody get a rope...
Liver failure quite common.
Hepatitis involves severe fevers, shakes, urine turning brown, stools turning cream colored, vomiting and severe jaundice. Hell yes he knew he was infected! They need to burn his ass alive and shoot what's left!
He has done immeasurable harm both to the medical profession and the patients that depend on it for their care.
Just call him, "Typhoid Mary". He should get the *summary lead cure* for that Hep-C problem... No, make that blowtorch & pliers...
What gives with all the short term employment? Employers letting this guy go for cause and not passing on any info to the next employer????
I would note he worked at VAH Baltimore. But not StL where they had so much trouble with Hepatitis C in the dental lab.
I would suggest to any military person that went through the gauntlet of jet injection for immunization should be checked for Hep-C.
Good advice !
I'm from that era, have Hep-C, no transfusions, just dental and the gauntlet while I was in, always wondered it wasn't related, even at the time it seemed like a great way to spread blood borne diseases.
Skin him alive a quarter inch strip at a time.
Finally she was told she was over it and now a year or so later you would never know how bad it was, she is cured!
Just another 0bamaCare death panel trooper.
Maybe 0bama will give him an ignobel piece prize.
This guy is 100 times more dangerous than James Holmes. Maybe we should ban syringes or lab techs.
Just kidding. Obviously, evil exists and it is difficult to stop. You have to exterminate evil where ever it exists. Think "Lord of the Rings" and Orcs. These people are Orcs. They need to be found and exterminated as rapidly as possible, with prejudice.
And yet PC ties our hands and we have to be compassionate, etc.
I still can't fathom how anyone can be this evil without Satan's direct influence. I just can't. Simple revenge just doesn't explain it.
Didn't anyone set suspicious of his extremely spotty employment history?
Traveling nurses are not that uncommon. They work in one city a few weeks, then move on to another. They work under contract and they often get a fairly good paycheck:
Trial, proof of action, execution.
traveling "nurses" are not lab technicians......
Lab techs would not have access to the fetanyl. So somethings weird about this story.
God Bless you. You are tougher than I am.
No, he was a traveling lab technician. I wonder if that system will be reevaluated after this story.
This guy is just like the Aurora shooter. He deserves the death penalty.
There are few professions, or job types where someone could work in that many different locations for such short periods of time. Most employers wouldn't touch someone with so many different positions in so short a time.
There must really be a shortage of people doing his category of lab technician work.
From his 'work' history - I'd venture a guess hospitals were catching on to the guy - then giving him the boot and a reference to the next job.
I go to a VA hospital for some things and was having some routine blood work back in April. The doctor told me that the VA was recommending that vets be checked for Hepatitis and did I mind being tested. I thought it was really odd, but didn't object and all tests came back negative.
This and some other stories of problems at VA and other hospitals make those Hepatitis tests seem more understandable.
I have a similar friend, she was a nurse at Walter Reed, got it from a needle stick, and a medical retirement from the military when she came up positive. When it started to go acute they did the chemo, Interferon, her life was hell for a year, but she's virus free and back to her old self.
The treatments are improving, and I've been discussing it with my Dr. My numbers are always good, but it can't be doing nothing, and I'm a carrier.
My friend with Hep C never had any symptoms, it was found during a routine blood test. I pray for the best for you, it was awful to watch my friend go through it.
I was thinking about a Hep C vaccine but there might be one coming within several years. I known two people with it, one had to go through chemo for it but I haven't seen him for 6 years and don't know if he is fully cured and a different person got it so bad that he couldn't even drive anymore and he died two years ago. A friend's dad had hepatitis and eventually died as well.
I know sometime when the Hep C vaccine comes out, I would like to get a year or two after it comes out and go ahead and do A & B as well.
"Lab techs would not have access to the fetanyl. So somethings weird about this story."
Agreed. This story doesn't make sense. This is a drug that's counted every shift by an on-coming and off-going RN, and has to be signed for when being re-stocked by pharmacy. How the heck would a "lab tech" get access to it?
Please, can we suspend the ban on cruel and unusual punishment for this guy?
My 30-year-old son has hep C. He just had a liver biopsy last week and the doctor told him he doesn't need the interferon/ribavirin yet since he's only stage 1 as far as inflammation. It could be 10 years before he needs treatment and hopefully by then they'll have something that isn't so horrendous to go through.
Many hospital pharmacies use techs to help the licensed pharmacist fill prescriptions. He would have access.
A 3 month contract is very common for traveling health care workers. It would not arouse suspicion
"Many hospital pharmacies use techs to help the licensed pharmacist fill prescriptions. He would have access.
A 3 month contract is very common for traveling health care workers. It would not arouse suspicion"
Then he would have been a pharmacy tech and not a lab tech, and as an RN, I've done traveling nursing so I know about the contracts. A "Lab tech" wouldn't have access, so it's bad journalism or something else going on. I think we need to call them out when they try to pass off this kind of bad reporting.
I agree. You are right. As a lab tech he should not have had the easy access. That's why I am thinking bad journalism.
Punish him however you want, fine by me, but he's not an Aurora kook, he's a drug abuser and he was seeking a fix and found his fix—which is why he was on the move so much. He didn't care who he hurt, but that is not the same as intentional mass murder.

Dubnyk, Reimer or Schneider? Part I
Thomas Drance
September 06 2011 08:45AM
Big things are expected from James Reimer this season, but he's third in our rankings.
Image courtesy Brendan Hoare.
Earlier this summer, I asked independent goalie scout and hockey writer Justin Goldman (AKA The Goalie Guild) for his take on who was likely to have the best career among James Reimer, Devan Dubnyk and Cory Schneider. He told me he liked all of them, but that at gunpoint he'd go with Cory Schneider. As a Canucks fan I was happy to hear that, but I was unsatisfied by the 140 character limit answer – I needed to know why. So I e-mailed him, and asked if he'd be interested in discussing the matter further with me. What follows is the elaborate answer I was looking for. Today we profile: James Reimer.
James Reimer: what does he do well, and what does he need to work on?
James Reimer is extremely confident in his abilities. He's thick-skinned, and has a lot of faith in himself. Those qualities compensate for his slight lack of mobility. Also, he's well-suited for Francois Allaire's teaching of the "blocking" save. Reimer relies on positioning to make himself big, but obviously isn't the quickest goalie, especially when compared to a guy like Dubnyk or Schneider, it's just not at the same level.
When I'm talking about each goalie's skill set, I'm relating it to just these other two goalies, not to the general pro goaltender. So in comparison to Dubnyk and Schneider, I see Reimer as the least mobile, and the one with the least amount of agility. With Reimer, he's a big goaltender who has to rely more on his size and positioning to make saves, whereas Schneider and Dubnyk – though they're also big goaltenders – possess more quickness and agility.
As for what Reimer needs to work on – rebound control, but that's an element that comes with experience, and he'll improve in that area as he plays more games at the NHL level. Because he's a bit less experienced than Dubnyk and Schneider, he just needs to play more and learn how to read plays better at the NHL level. He still has a lot to learn, but for right now, he's last on that list.
The thing about Reimer is that he jumped right into the fire. It's not like with Schneider where he watched Luongo for a year, then got a chance to be a full blown backup. He was just thrust into the NHL, and didn't have a lot of time to make the transition – and that's a massive step for a goalie to take so suddenly. It is not easy to step into a Maple Leafs jersey, and be counted on to win game after game and put the team in the playoffs. So for what he accomplished, he should be regarded as quite the impressive talent.
Reimer's slow glove-hand - fact, or fiction?
It's a bit of both. It's a bit over-analyzed in Toronto because many analysts pick apart a goalie's games up there to the microscopic level.
Reimer's glove hand may not be the quickest, but having a strong glove hand is more about experience than anything else. It's about getting into more games, and seeing more glove-side shots from NHL shooters. As the season went on, you started to see Reimer make those small adjustments with the positioning of his glove hand – and he got better.
Reimer's big issue with his glove hand is that sometimes he relies on the blocking save selection too much. What makes a blocking save effective is knowing when to block, and when to rely on reactions. Too many times on shots to the glove side, Reimer wasn't reacting naturally. He was keeping his glove hand back and tight to his body, and just letting the puck hit his hand. He wasn't able to just make the natural, fleet, free-flowing reaction save with his glove hand, instead he was tense, and tight, and reverting into that blocking stance. Instead of trying to actually catch the puck, he was just trying to get his body behind it, letting the puck hit his glove. And too many times, he couldn't control, absorb or stop the shot.
That's how I'd break down Reimer's glove-hand. It wasn't as bad as the press made it out to be, and it'll get better as time goes on. He'll make better decisions in terms of when to be in the blocking stance, and when to just react naturally, let his god-given talent take over and make more fluid reaction glove saves.
Can Reimer sustain last season's performance?
The biggest thing about coming into your sophomore season as a pro goaltender is being able to extend what you did in your rookie season now that teams have scouted you, and now that you have to manage and live up to these higher expectations. And with Reimer, the expectations are extremely high.
Everyone in Leafs Nation, and even fans outside of Toronto, expect that same .924 save percentage. It would be – I don't want to say a miracle – but I would be extremely impressed if he was able to sustain that level of play for 82 games.
There are a lot of different hurdles that a goaltender has to get over in their sophomore season. Scouting is one of them, and durability is another. Can he handle a heavy workload for not just 35 games, but for 80 games? So when you get past the scouting and durability aspects, the last thing is handling the mental pressures that come with high expectations. If Reimer has a couple of bad games, will he be able to bounce back like he did last season? All those different things he was able to accomplish from January to April – he has to find a way to duplicate that success.
When you're talking about the odds of him doing that – I don't think the odds are that high – just because he has to achieve such a high level of success. Whether it's fair or not, Reimer has set the bar extremely high for himself, and although I don't think he's going to be as statistically successful as he was last season, I do think he will improve in many areas of the game.
As a scout, I don't necessarily look at whether or not he made the playoffs, I just look at the development of his game on the ice. I think that overall he'll be a better goaltender by season's end. He will certainly mature as an athlete as well.
Until last season, Reimer hadn't played more than 30 games in 5 years. How does an extreme jump in workload tend to impact a young net-minder?
It can work in two ways. Some goalies rely on being in a rhythm; the more shots that they face, the more comfortable they feel, and the better they play.
That's what you see with a goalie like Tomas Vokoun. The only reason he was able to posta . 920 save percentage and above in Florida is because he's seeing so many shots, he's used to it, and he's been doing it year after year. So for Reimer – knowing that he's not used to playing every game – it's going to be a big task to see how consistent he can be, and how he manages his energy level.
One thing I notice with Reimer is that he's pretty even-keeled with his demeanour; he doesn't get to high, he doesn't get too low, and he's really good at shaking off goals. Last season, he was able to mentally press that reset button after a loss, and he was almost always able to bounce back. His mental toughness is one of the reasons why he was so successful.
Also because he does make a lot of "blocking" saves, I don't think durability will necessarily be as much of an issue as being able to shake off the bad games. The "blocking" save is an economical way to stop the puck. You're not all over the place, you're not flopping around – you're pretty centered in your net. Reimer plays deeper in his crease, and with that wide stance, thrives on that size and his ability to make himself big in the net.
Reimer's personality, religious background and the mental side.
You have to be honest with all goaltenders. I'm sure that Schneider and Dubnyk have faith, and support from their families and somewhat similar backgrounds – but for whatever reason, Reimer seems to be developing this aura about him.
The fans just love who he is, they love his personality, they respond to his smile, they admire his work ethic. Even though most NHL goaltenders have some of these various things about them, just the way that Reimer carries himself both on and off the ice – he's a lovable character and everyone roots for him.
It's almost like he has this little extra padding about him – so if he does struggle, the fans are still going to cheer him on, which is totally different from a goaltender like Roberto Luongo, who lets in one bad goal and everyone starts hating on him. So yes, I think that's definitely a huge advantage for Reimer. It's not like he has to win every single game, he just needs to find a way to be durable, bounce back and find a way to get over these commonplace sophomore hurdles.
His faith and all these things we've learned about him in terms of his personality, that's definitely more important than his skillset. You can teach a goalie certain skills, but you can't teach the type of demeanour he has, and that does set him apart from other goalies.
The "Reimer, Dubnyk or Schneider?" series continues tomorrow at Oilersnation!
September 06 2011, 10:27AM
I liked the last answer the most. I think that that's an astute observation for at least this year. Fans really like Reimer because he is so damn likable and we're more than ready to make excuses for him.
Contrast that to Luongo's often surly attitude and you understand why Canucks fans don't give him as much leeway.
September 06 2011, 01:28PM
Give this kid a chance. Being from Buffalo NY, and right across the border being a huge Leafs fan. What else do we have to lose as Leafs fans? This tender played very well,for a club that was at a non elite level. Sure he has his issues. But what goaltender has really stepped up for Leafs nation in the last six to eight years? The kid competes hard every game,dealing with a very tough crowd up there. Lets go Leafs and enjoy.
September 06 2011, 01:36PM
@Thomas Drance
Yes Luu does indeed get to much of the blame for the knucks. He is a great goaltender,and will rebound just fine. His style of game makes me wonder though. A tender of his size needs to move a little bit better. The blocking game now is making a slow change over to much more of a hybrid style of play. Goaltender schools need to look at what they are teaching these days? Tim Thomas made us all look like we way over teach these young tenders. Blocking and Hybrid? Lets talk about this goaltender guys?

text: To steer any negative attention away from obito i would like to point out that labeling and fixing a conflict with thousands of white zetsu clones and a handful of dead guys as a proper "war" within the classic and ongoing cycle of hatred... well to me the nature of the war itself is the biggest shortcoming so far in the manga. Far worse than confirming obito as tobi. At least with obito you can have a side of the argument to justify the cause. Reading about fighting zombies and zetsu clones with any sort of emotional investment or suspension is just plain silly and to top it off, NO KAKAKASHI 1000 COPIED JUTSU RAMPAGE. When i remember such an offense i can read countless flashbacks of obito shedding tears for rin from his dry left socket as much as kishi cares to share it, it wouldn't be his worst.

"These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever owned. I ran in them the second day after I got them. I loved the way they hug your foot and my heel does not slip. I have a high arch which felt supported through the entire run. I always order a half size larger in running shoes and these fit perfect. I was afraid since I did not try on any at a store and took a chance from the reviews. I am happy I took the chance. I plan to order a 2nd pair in another color."

Nic and Tristan Puehse were bona fide international stars at an age when most kids spend their days learning fractions and long division.
The twins from Northern California were skateboarding prodigies from the age of 6, earning sponsorships from Gatorade, Sony and Nike, signing the latter deal before turning 8. Their skateboarding prowess and daredevil tricks made them YouTube sensations, registering more than 13.5 million views. They starred in their own feature film on Showtime and were featured in some of the world's biggest media outlets including The New York Times, CNN, "World Evening News with Katie Couric" and the "Ellen DeGeneres Show."
In short, their talent had them on the fast track to the X Games and made them celebrities, with a legion of fans bombarding them with autograph requests at various skating parks.
Then they walked away from it all, trading their boards for racquets and ramps for courts.
In August 2011, Nic and Tristan made the shocking decision to stop skateboarding and instead focus on training to become professional tennis players. Despite their talent and success, after six years of skateboarding, their hearts and heads were no longer devoted to that sport.
The decision surprised their many sponsors and fans—as well as their parents. It was a radical decision, as the two had never even played tennis, never followed tennis or even watched the sport until borrowing racquets to hit some balls during some downtime on a trip to Arizona to shoot a skateboarding video.
The twins agreed that their experiment with tennis would be a six-month trial, a chance to devote themselves fully to the sport just to see how it went. They loved it. In fact, they enjoyed playing so much that they didn't even realize when that self-imposed trial period was up. Now 15, the boys have rarely looked back, nor ever questioned whether they made the right decision.
"Nic and I were getting a little bored because we had been doing skateboarding for six years; we wanted to try something else," Tristan said. "We started talking, said we would stop for six months and try a new sport, which happened to be tennis, and we have never gone back. It's like in the beginning of skateboarding, we fell in love with tennis and that's all we wanted to do."
After their first-ever hit with borrowed racquets, they returned home and started playing regularly at a local club. The more they played, they more they enjoyed it, drawing support from their friends and family—despite some initial reluctance from their parents.
"They were shocked and they were telling us what we were giving up," Nic said of the first conversation he and Tristan had with their parents, Michael and Caryn. "They didn't want us to regret it later. But when we said we wanted to try tennis, they let us do it and motivated and supported us anyway."
Their younger sister, Natasha, now 12, began playing tennis at the same time. To support their kids' new endeavor, Michael and Caryn moved the family first to Hilton Head, S.C., where the boys received a partial sponsorship from the Van der Meer Tennis Academy, and then to Carefree, Ariz., where they now train at North Scottsdale Tennis Academy with head director Chris Cummings and former Australian Open doubles champion Laurie Warder.
Committing to Tennis
For the twins, it was a lot of change in a short amount of time. And that was just off the court. The discipline required for the two sports also is very different. Skateboarding consists of 30-second tricks in competition, with no coaches and no opponents on the other side to derail what you are doing. Tennis matches, on the other hand, went hours and required demanding training and physical fitness regimes as well as a different mindset. Nic and Tristan were no longer competing against themselves but having to adapt to what their opponents were doing as well.
Of course, many skills translated. Points in tennis, like skateboarding, occur in short bursts, and the ability to think creatively and adjust on the fly are invaluable in both sports.
"The biggest thing they needed were matches," Cummings said. "They work out together so much and that's a good and bad thing. [But] their points are coming quickly now. We're mixing it up, dealing with different players, different ages. That way no matter what situation, they can adapt to it."
As fraternal twins, with Tristan a righty and Nic a lefty, the two naturally started playing doubles as well as singles. Their inspiration comes from another pair of lefty-righty California twins, the world No. 1 doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan, whom they have met and who provide the boys with encouragement.
Nic and Tristan were ballpersons for the Sacramento Capitals of World TeamTennis one summer, and their father met Bob and Mike's father, Wayne Bryan, and two began talking about their twin tennis players. They later met Bob and Mike at an exhibition in Atlanta. They had already sent the twins autographs and watched their skateboarding videos. In person, they offered some great advice, which has come to define Bob and Mike's outstanding career.
"Be a good skateboarder or tennis player, but be a great person," Tristan recalled the Bryans telling them.
Since then Nic and Tristan receive congratulatory and supportive messages from Bob and Mike periodically on Twitter.
The Puehse boys quickly discovered that succeeding on court would need to walk hand-in-hand with maintain their composure. They earned the nickname "Team Apocalypse" from their coaches at Van Der Meer for their on-court antics. In their first doubles match, the two blew a large lead after having a verbal altercation, and since then, their harmony on the court has been a work in progress.
Nic and Tristan have come a long way since, using their bond as twins to their advantage, and remembering a lot of the success they had in skateboarding was from pushing and supporting each other. Cummings has also been working with them on being as positive as possible with each other on the court, in their energy, body language and in talking to each other. They also still work occasionally with a sports psychologist.
They also knew that by starting at age 13, they had a lot of ground to make up on kids their own age. Their peers were already competing in USTA 14-and-under tournaments, and they were just learning. They also quickly discovered the change in lifestyle that came with the transition from tail slides to topspin.
"When we were younger, I don't think we really understood," Tristan said of how their fame was unusual at a young age. "We had people coming to skate parks asking for autographs. We didn't think it was normal but we didn't understand the full grasp of why people were coming up to us. As we were getting older, both of us realized how many people knew us."
They had a moment in the family car at one point, on the way to a tournament, when Nic reminded them all where they could have been instead : "X-Games in Barcelona on ESPN or this Level 3 tournament."
Everyone laughed because they knew they had chosen the correct path.
"I saw the passion in their eyes from the first minute," said Michael, the twins' dad, of their first foray into tennis. "It was refreshing, because with skateboarding, I saw them still enjoying it but didn't see the real excitement. I can honestly say I've never seen them work harder in a sport or in skateboarding as they do now. It is pretty inspiring to see their commitment."
Cummings, their coach, knew nothing of the twins' back story when he first saw them entered in a local tournament. In a small town, he knew most of the kids who played tennis and called around asking who knew them, as he had a bunch of other juniors training with him and thought a few different players could be really beneficial for them. Months later, what has impressed Cummings most is the twins' dedication to the sport.
"They're still hungry," he said. "They started late enough that they still have that hunger to learn and grow. They're getting bigger and stronger. They are going to start to play more National events and are going to qualify for more events now that their rankings are catching up. We're going to get there. This year is going to be a good challenge for them. It will be a good growing year, the competition will be stiffer. We're going to test them and they're going to have to push hard."
Net Results
Now, that hard work is paying off. Their doubles and singles games alike continue to improve and they're starting to win more and more tournaments, with Tristan playing the ad side and Nic playing the deuce court, similar to the Bryans. They have played each other in three singles finals, with Nic having a 2-1 advantage, to win the Southwest Closed and Flagstaff Aces Grand Slam and Tristan winning the Desert Highlands Grass & Clay Championships. In doubles recently, they won in Flagstaff and also won the back draw of the Arizona Open, competing against players of all ages, while Tristan also won the singles back draw.
Tristan recently had a growth spurt and is a good three or four inches taller than Nic at 5-foot-11. He has a power serve and likes to hit with pace while Nic likes to mix things up more, keeping opponents off balance with a variety of spins and slices. Their sister's game has also improved. The boys nicknamed her "Tashapova" for her power, and Natasha now frequently plays up in 16-and-under tournaments.
The change of sports did not come completely without second thoughts, but they are steadfastly set on a future in tennis. Tristan has gone skateboarding just once in the two years, and while Nic initially had a few more questions and was affected more by the loss of the spotlight, a couple trips out on his board since have wiped away any lingering doubts.
"Now I have my mind totally made up and am very committed to tennis, and I am willing work as hard as I can to make the pros," Nic said. "I thought about it once, I tried it again one day at the skate park and tried it for a third time, maybe five months after. But after that, I was done."
"When Nic showed me a video of someone skateboarding, it gave me a relapse and I think about it, 'Am I making the right decision?'" Tristan added of the first few months into tennis. "I'm like the cool thing now, when I watch the videos, it doesn't make me want to go back to skateboarding. I am totally committed to tennis."

Discussion in 'G8orbill's GatorTail Pub' started by StrangeGator, Jan 30, 2012.
Wrecking my palate.
One of my favorite, readily available beers that never disappoints.
Enjoying a 7venth Sun Mangrove DIPA from my well traveled growler...
Had a nice variety of the weekend, starting with a Six Point Resin, then a DFH Burton Baton. Saturday night, had a bomber of Left Hand Hop Juice, a very strong and flavorful DIPA, followed by one more bottle of Burton Baton. Tonight, I had a bomber of Stone Cali-Belgique DIPA. Forgot how flavorful that was.
Can't say how impressed I am with the Burton Baton. It was all I could do to stash away two of those bottles. That might be my favorite beer right now.
I was going to drink a Hopslam for my night cap after my Two Hearted are gone...but I think you've convinced me to drink Burton again.
Ray, are you going to Huna day? We should meet up for a cerveza.
Yes, I'll be there bright and early.
Great beer surprise today. Went to get a buddy of mine one of the last hopslams at the liquor store and look up to find 3 selections of Cigar City staring me in the face!. I gave up beer during the week for lent, but stole a sip of my wife's Jai Alai. Delicious! Really stoked about that.
Which ones ?
Enjoying a Tocabaga while de-labeling bottles. I hope when they switch to canning it that distro to Orlando resumes.
Jai alai, maduro brown, and the cracker white.
Only bought the jai alai today. It was canned 2-13-13. About as fresh as it gets.
My thoughts exactly! It's rare to find it anymore outside of the Tasting Room.
Nice! I haven't found much fresh Jai Alai lately. Whole Foods in Orlando had a bunch on sale, $8.99 a six. I was about to pounce then realized it was all Dec. 1 and prior.
I haven't seen Amy fresher than Jan 3rd recently.
So glad I saved two warm Hopslams for my cellar. I now have those two, plus two DFH 120s, two Breckenridge 471 Small Batch double IPAs, and two DFH Burton Batons. Still looking to add a couple of bottles of Zombie Dust.
How was the Ghandi Bot? Always wanted to try it simply because of the label.
Ray has inspired me for my tasting. My buddy Eric is an accomplished photographer. Will have to purchase some decent glassware for the occasion, but will also have to get Eric to have his camera, lights, jelled lenses, etc. for the occasion. Might as well get him to through in a shot of his hot wife. She'll probably be keeping up with us drinking martinis. Maybe she'll bring a friend over. Probably not.
How'd the photo come out? Dr Frtiz Briem Berliner Weisse
Fresh growler of Chicory Dickory Choc picked up today.

Chef Sean McGaughey packed up most of his staff and all of his chef's surprises on June 5 and moved them to Aria's, 250 Josephine St. in Cherry Creek North, ending Opus Restaurant's 10-year run as a "Littleton gem" on Main Street.
Opus' $20-and-up entrees placed it on the high end of the Littleton dining scene and made it a destination for foodies throughout the region. However, according to the Colorado Department of Revenue, the company owed more than $10,400 in back taxes as of last August. It's recorded under the name MDM LLC, doing business as Opus Restaurant, which was registered to Michael Long and Peter Criss. It dissolved in 2010; by then Criss had registered MDM 2 LLC at the Opus address. That entity remains in good standing with the state.
The revenue department only posts once a year, and removes those who pay up right away, according to the website.
Nobody from Opus could be reached for comment.
Austin Hauck, next door to the now-vacant space, is a men's specialty store that boasts a $2,100 jacket from Milan in the front window. Owner Douglas Hauck says the store sells to discerning customers all over the world, and tickets can run from $20 to $20,000. He was disappointed that Opus left, including it among the destinations that drew customers to Main Street.
"There's a better vibe than 11 years ago," said Hauck, who sat on the city's Business/Industry Affairs Committee when it was dissolved in 2007. "But some of the smaller businesses don't see the big vision and don't see how we can be a regional draw."
Some other familiar facades have flown the downtown coop along with Opus. Tres Jolie Tea and Champagne Bar is in the process of shutting down, Littleton Beauty Academy is no more and Downtown Dinners (formerly Souper Suppers) moved to the Broadridge Shopping Center at Broadway and Ridge Road.
A quick survey of Main Street reveals a bigger variety of storefronts than a decade ago, when pretty much the only place to get lunch was the Family Bar (now Olde Towne Tavern). Back then, downtown was mostly hair salons and knickknacks. There are still plenty of those, joined by spices and fancy oils, chocolate and sweets, wine and bridal gowns, yoga and ballet, art and antiques, dresses and dance, real-estate companies and cruises, not to mention the full complement of restaurants from McKinner's to Merle's, Kate's Wine Bar to Jake's Brew Bar, JaJa Bistro to Jose's.
Plans are in place for the former automotive shop at the west end of Main Street; four retail spaces will fill the space, and a second story might be added later to house two residential units.
Two ladies consignment stores have joined the downtown team: Gypsy Rose moved back after several years, and Full Circle Clothing is a brand-new venture. Its owners say the foot traffic, charm, affordability and small-town feel were appealing.
"I've always been a big fan of Main Street," said Arlinda Trujillo. "Business is booming."
