Los Angeles is home to many methadone clinics and physicians who are approved to write prescriptions for suboxone. Suboxone contains the active ingredient, buprenorphine, which is highly effective in alleviating opiate withdrawal symptoms for a significant number of people. Opiate addiction has been on the rise for over 10 years impacting larger U.S. cities as well as rural areas of America. Methadone and suboxone have been shown to be therapeutically beneficial in helping opiate addicted people re-establish productive daily living. If you are a clinic or physician offering opioid treatment in the greater Los Angeles area, you may purchase a featured listing at the top of this page insuring that your medical services will be found by prospective patients searching our website for quality opioid treatment.
Right Path Treatment Centers
Right Path provide a variety of opioid, alcohol, and other drug addiction treatment services through their various outpatient programs located in Virginia and North Carolina.
The organization utilizes Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders, and they provide confidential consultation to individuals who are trying to determine the best of course of treatment for dealing with their addiction issues. Right Path are equipped to now provide the new Probuphine implant that utilizes time-released buprenorphine to alleviate opioid withdrawal symptoms as individuals pursue a solid, long-term personal recovery.
Right Path endorse the benefits of 12 Step philosophy while also incorporating a strong medical component in their opioid recovery program due to the statistically high percentage of opioid addicted people who will ultimately relapse without medication-assisted support.

Access to Addiction Treatment
Many state-funded addiction treatment services have undergone gradual cuts during the last 15 years. With the rising opioid addiction crisis in America, better access to opioid treatment is definitely needed.
There are a number of private clinics and outpatient treatment centers opening their doors in most every state. These private clinics are meeting a need for services that are often absent in more remote areas of the country.
Some new opioid treatment providers are smaller, independent methadone clinics while others are part of a larger network such as those owned by Acadia Healthcare, Behavioral Health Group (BHG), or Colonial Management Group.
They all have one thing in common, and it is that they provide their patients with medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT is scientifically proven to be more effective than other forms of abstinence-based treatment.
Medication assistance typically utilizes methadone or buprenorphine-based products to alleviate a patient's chronic opioid withdrawal. Without medication-assistance, patients often face either a detox admission or they struggle on in a daily effort to secure opiates so as to prevent the return of withdrawal sickness.
People ready for opioid treatment may find that their local methadone clinic is full, or that their nearest clinic is just too far away to access on a daily basis. For some patients, suboxone/buprenorphine may be the best solution since a prescription can be obtained for several weeks of medication before a return visit is required.
Access to treatment is currently on the radar of national healthcare officials and government legislators, many of whom have received numerous letters and calls from families requesting more funding for treatment, and better access. Media coverage has also been much improved during the past 3 years in part due to the widespread opioid crisis and its broad impact.
Supporting local opioid addiction treatment services is important for every community. It ultimately saves lives, reduces crime, and promotes recovery so that addicted patients can work and function.

21st Century Cures Act
The U.S. House of Representatives just passed a sweeping reform, called the 21st Century Cures Act, that will infuse $1 billion in new funding earmarked for opioid treatment and prevention services.
It has taken several years of alarming statistics on the national opioid epidemic, but Congress has responded. This USA Today article provides an overview of the numbers. In addition to the $1 billion for opioid services will be another $4.8 billion for cutting-edge research around treating Alzheimers, cancer, traumatic brain injury, and other medical issues.
The bill received enormous bipartisan support and passed 392-to-26. In 2016, death by drug overdose surpassed death by car crashes and gun fatalities. The public outcry for government intervention has been steady. With so many families having been affected by addiction issues, the new funding allowance should open doors for opioid treatment particularly in rural areas where opioid services have been severely lacking.
Methadone remains the #1 medication-assisted treatment option. Buprenorphine medications are; however, making a big impact in the treatment field with a wide variety of buprenorphine-based formulations coming to market. In addition to the familiar suboxone film, are probuphine (a buprenorphine implant), subutex (an uncoated buprenorphine tablet), and bunavail.

New National Buprenorphine Website
Buprenorphine.US is the newly developed companion website to Methadone.US. Methadone has been in use as an opioid addiction treatment medication for nearly 50 years. In 2002, buprenorphine became available in the U.S. as a new alternative for people suffering with opioid addiction. Since then, various medications containing buprenorphine have been released such as suboxone and zubsolv.
Buprenorphine for opioid addiction treatment can only be prescribed by qualified physicians who have received training on the proper use of buprenorphine. As the opioid addiction problem grew over the last 15 years, many thousands of doctors pursued training and were approved in the use of buprenorphine-based medications to treat opiate addiction.
At Methadone.US, we have served over 1 million U.S. visitors since the website's launch in 2011. Buprenorphine.US will aim to connect many more individuals with qualified physicians who can help them in their journey toward a genuine recovery and improved quality of life.

Methadone Clinics Offer Important Medical Service
There are currently well over 1000 methadone clinics in operation across the United States and many more throughout the world. Methadone has been a leading treatment intervention for opioid addiction for more than 40 years. Methadone is an FDA-approved medication and it's use in treating opioid addiction has been identified by SAMHSA as a best practice, evidence-based treatment approach.
Adding to the legacy of methadone as a successful treatment medium are the hundreds of thousands of individuals who have been able to totally eliminate the severe opioid withdrawal sickness that wrecked their lives. The value of this medical benefit is priceless.
The cost for participating in a methadone program varies from clinic to clinic and in part depends on whether the clinic receives any state funding or accepts Medicaid for payment. Many clinics operate as private practices funded primarily through patient self-payment. Private clinics often offer a substantial discount for patients that pay for a month of services in advance.
Due to methadone's proven efficacy, many addicted people experience rapid relief from opiate withdrawal and find themselves eating and sleeping more normally, gaining weight, and able to work again. They are able to pursue other goals & responsibilities that had previously become too difficult in their active addiction.
Methadone is a powerful medication that must be taken as prescribed and in conjunction with good counseling. When a patient is willing to embrace medication-assisted treatment and to utilize it properly, recovery can happen. This life restoration process is demonstrated on a daily basis all around the country.

If Simone Perele's latest look book feels distinctively classic, it's not surprising: for autumn / winter 2013, the brand went back to the archives.
The result is a set of five beautifully made collections – Lumière, Simone, Marylin, Ludivine and Olympe – which bring the brand's trademark lacework and luxury fabrications into harmony with classically elegant shapes and contemporary cuts. As always, the emphasis is on femininity and finding the right balance. This is one brand where sexy doesn't equate to impractical, and comfort doesn't have to mean plain cotton.
Inspired by the legendary original pieces by Simone Perele that still reside in the company's archives, it's a collection to satisfy brand devotees – and convert new ones. The pieces are the kind of quality that's worth checking out in person, but in the meantime you can view the rest of the Simone Perele autumn / winter 2013 look book by clicking on the thumbnails.

Pressure Cookers
With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, takeout sometimes starts out as a weekly treat but becomes a habit when schedules get too busy to cook meals at home. Many seem to be searching for a more streamlined way to cook meals, so they can deliver exceptional, healthy meals at home as opposed to fast food or carry out lunches and dinners. A great addition to any home chef's cookware set is a pressure cooker, allowing you to cook foods much more rapidly, saving both energy and time.
Different types of pressure cookers work better for different lifestyles and homes. Consider a stainless-steel pressure cooker from Williams-Sonoma. This piece of stainless-steel cookware allows you to cook food up to 70 percent faster than a regular saucepan or skillet. Many pressure cookers have a large capacity, with room enough for significantly large meals. Stainless-steel construction allows for exceptional heat induction quality, meant to last for years of enjoyment and seamless cooking. Many pressure cookers also provide preprogrammed settings, such as those for meat and poultry, and will not pressurize until the lid is fully locked. Stainless-steel construction also renders cookers easy to maintain and clean.
Consider modern pressure cookers manufactured by such trusted companies as Fissler. These pressure cookers feature heat levels that let you set heat settings accordingly, while a handy green and yellow indicator lets you know when the heat should be readjusted. Similar to other styles, this cooker will not cook until the lid is firmly closed. Many pressure cookers are available in two sizes; whether you are cooking for yourself, a significant other or a group of friends, you can decide which is best for your meal portions.
You may also appreciate a complete pressure cooker set, which is an ideal choice for speeding up hearty meals such as soups and stews. Similar to a pressure cooker, this durable stainless-steel set allows you to pressure cook everything from chowders to chops. The set includes a wire basket for both pressure and conventional cooking, as well as a tempered glass lid, so you are able to use the pan like a regular saucepan for everyday cooking. Should you need replacement parts for pressure cookers, such as a replacement gasket to keep lids firmly locked into place, those are available separately for purchase, to lengthen the life of your machine.

Infosys announced last week that Bharti Airtel, India's leading mobile service provider, has selected its WalletEdge platform to operate Airtel Money, the first mobile wallet service in India. This announcement is interesting from a few different perspectives. First, it will provide a new source of revenues for the Indian telecom industry, which has been struggling with low ARPUs for several years. Second, it's a boon for the banking industry, which will find a way to accelerate financial inclusion initiatives in line with the recommendations from the Reserve Bank of India. Obviously, the urban Indian consumer will also benefit from the "pay anytime, anywhere" convenience of such a service.
I also look at this deal from an IT services industry perspective, and I believe that it embeds a set of very interesting attributes that will become increasingly prevalent in the way IT services vendors engage with their clients moving forward:

Everyone knows "Dreamgirls" as the Broadway musical with Motown on its dramatic mind, even if the hallowed record label promoted as the "Sound of Young America" never gets explicit mention.
What's not so well known is that the musical has a deep bench of fans beyond its 2006 film adaptation by director Bill Condon. How far beyond? Try 1981.
"Dreamgirls" was the first large-scale attempt to bring the energy of young black America during the early 1960s to the musical stage. That effort succeeded beyond the expectations of its creators, composer Henry Krieger and lyricist Tom Eyen, winning six Tony Awards in 1982.
Even without those garlands, "Dreamgirls" would stand alone on the fact that it expanded the possibilities of musical theater by drawing upon R&B music. With 21 musical numbers in the first act alone and 38 total in both acts this is a musical as generous in tunes as it is in body and soul. It packs a wallop in drama, too, chronicling the three women of The Dreamettes as they position for love and fortune during a time across 20 years, when show business and personal lives were inseparable, and black musicians were striving to break into mainstream American radio and popular culture.
"It's raw and emotional, like open-heart surgery onstage," said Charity Dawson, who plays singer Effie White, the character who delivers the show-stopping number "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."
Dawson played Celie in the national tour of "The Color Purple," but even the drama of that experience couldn't prepare her for the demands of portraying Effie.
"It's a marathon, a role where life is all around you," Dawson said by phone from Santa Barbara, Calif. "The show goes back to a time when there was a passion and drive for the music that I don't know that we've seen since."
Effie competes with fellow girl singer Deena Jones implied as the ostensible Diana Ross just as The Dreamettes have been interpreted as modeled on The Supremes for front-line position in a drama that swells with ambition, betrayal and, ultimately, a sense of grace and forgiveness.
Keeping the trio in balance is Lorrell Robinson. Played by Mary Searcy, Lorrell is a voice of reason and beauty as turbulence and romance grow all around her. Searcy played Maureen, a very different character, in a 2010 production of "Rent" at Toby's Dinner Theatre of Columbia, Md.
"This is a bigger show, by comparison," Searcy said. "With 20 costume changes, there's a whole 'nother show going on backstage."
"Dreamgirls" is a musical Dawson, a 28-year-old Detroit native, grew up with. She saw her first production of "Dreamgirls" at Philadelphia's Prince Music Theater when she was 19. She saw the show 14 more times before the arrival of the 2006 film adaptation, which starred Beyoncé Knowles as Deena.
Dawson concurs with Searcy about the blistering pace of the show's costume changes. But she said the most difficult part of the musical is making sure the heart of the drama is never overwhelmed by its constant razzle-dazzle of set pieces and spectacle.
"I'd never want people to walk away saying, 'Wow, those were some great costumes,' " Dawson said. "I'd rather they walk away moved by the story's message that you can dream, and even out of negative circumstances, you can come out on top."

Woman kills herself in jail cell
McKEESPORT (AP) — Police in western Pennsylvania say a woman who had been arrested on a charge of public drunkenness hanged herself in a Pittsburgh-area jail cell.
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office says the 52-year-old woman was found unresponsive in the McKeesport police station at about 9:30 p.m. Friday.
Police and paramedics tried unsuccessfully to revive her, but she was pronounced dead about 20 minutes later.
After an autopsy Saturday the medical examiner's office determined the woman killed herself.

Maybe it's just a personal quirk, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of leaving auto magazines loaded up all the time in a defense handgun. I have the crazy idea that the spring and follower will, over time, get weaker and/or develop a "set" so that the mag won't function well when you need it most. I own a couple of autos and really enjoy shooting them. But I have it in mind to keep a small revolver in the console of my vehicle, and the S&W J-frames seem to be about perfect. The Models 637 and 642 look like they would fit the bill.

I have only had one foster dog that my resident dog just did not get along with. In that case, we wound up switching foster dogs with another foster volunteer. The dog my dog disliked had no problem in the new foster home and my dog had no problems with the new foster dog that came from the other foster home.
Really, at the end of the day, your decision to add a new member to your household depends on how receptive your dog would be to any particular newcomer - be it a puppy, young adult or adult. And, perhaps more importantly, how willing you are to meet the individual needs of two dogs. I can tell you that, although my GSD generally really does like to play and interact with the foster dog, he also wants and needs individual attention from me, as does the foster dog for that matter.
If you decide to foster (or foster-to-adopt), find a shelter/ rescue that will provide support and guidance through the process I think this is particularly important for people who are new to the foster experience.
To wrap up, in regard to your most recent post, I want to let you know that my dog has never been traumatized by the departure of foster dogs (upon adoption) from our home. Perhaps, if the foster dog had been here for years, it would be different but, no, he typically treats their departure the same way he does when we have been dog-sitting for a friend.
My dogs don't care at all. There is always the beginning period, where there is an adjustment. But no, none if them care when a foster leaves. In fact none of them would care if one of them left. They like each other, but not overly bonded.

|How hard is fostering on "your" dog? Is it hard or stressful for your dog to have a dog come, hang around awhile, and then go? Just curious.
Foster is a great way to help dogs and meet them! That is how I got Rocky, he was our third rescue.
It's great to be able to help give a dog a second chance, you also if your good at it be willing to dea with a dog that has "issues" and train the dog to help move him along it's a great reward!
The down side is that you can become attached to the dog and passing them along can be heartbreaking!
We did it three times a herder dog, which I became very found of (I hate herder dogs..bossy A Holes!) but I worked with her and fell in love!
A Golden Retriever (glad to see him go!) And then Rocky (GSD) he was almost gone but the deal collapsed at the last minute! / We did not want to let him go but would have. That was it for us we kept him and then no more fosters! It was just too hard to let them go for us.
|Thank you!!

|Hmmm, good thoughts. I try to give Grissom enough exercise time, but I think he is bored. That is why a second dog started brewing in my mind. My sister has two dogs, both are very, very lazy. Grissom spends most of his energy waving a toy in their faces hoping someone, anyone will play with him. Both of those dogs just go and lay down. They are not active dogs at all. Then my beast starting barking at the tv. That's when it hit me that he could just be bored. I thought by adding a sibling, and rescuing, it would be a good thing all around. Now, I'm not so sure.
Evaluate the dog's needs as much as your own wants/needs. Some dogs flourish with a packmate, some dogs do better alone.
I ended up with a young female just months after adopting Cable. Some days it's fine and dandy, other days I wish it was just Cable. The circumstances were such that it was for the betterment of the female(Allie) and returning her is not an option. Cable can go either way, he's stable and pretty hard, BUT I really do think he'd really shine as an only dog. Allie loves her big brother and they play awesome, just sometimes I can see the frustration Cable endures when he wants some human/dog quality time.
|I won't go in to all the detail about Sadie & Bear, but to make a very, very long story short, Sadie is 12 and Bear is 6. Both from different homes, both horribly abused. They are the best shepherd "couple" I've had the pleasure to own.
|Thank you so much for all your advise. I've been wanting to add a dog for a year or two now, but Grissom is my first GSD. I'm used to extremely easy going Golden Retrievers, and was in for quite the aha moment when I saw the difference between the breeds. It's just me and Grissom so I have had four years of bonding with him. Every place I go people constantly compliment me on how friendly he is. Whenever someone comes over (even strangers) he acts like they are his long lost friends and he rubs up against them doing that awesome shepherd whine. I'm so pleased he is so amiable. However, when he sees other dogs he gets so excited. His butt goes up, his front legs go down, he's wagging his tail and he is in full play mode....but yesterday we were at the beach and he growled....yikes....at a 3 month old Golden Retriever puppy! I was shocked!!!! This started to worry me. Hence, my coming to this valuable site for guidance. I'm hoping that I haven't raised a spoiled "only" child.

Hill Valley's terrible newspaper
posted at 1:21 pm on January 4, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
If you're a fan of the Back to the Future series (as I am), take a minute to read Jonathan Chait's tongue-in-cheek media criticism of the Hill Valley Telegraph, the fictional newspaper that drives the major plot points in the first two installments. Chait notes that the newspaper's editorial decisions are "exceedingly bizarre":
Marty is struck by the oddness of it because, despite having driven what he knows is a time machine, he has not figured out that it's 1955. But the headline is useful because it establishes that the Telegraph is not merely a local paper — it reports on national news, albeit in a vague and uninformative fashion. A president can't veto a "Senate bill," he can only veto a bill that's been passed by both houses. It's not clear why a veto would merit a banner headline — normally reserved for declarations of war, presidential election, or assassinations and the like — but if it did, you would think the subject of the bill would make it somewhere into the headline.
The Telegraph's strong (if not informed) interest in Washington legislative arcana makes it all the more striking that it proceeds to devote banner headlines to relatively minor developments impacting private citizens in the town …
And not just any citizens in Hill Valley, either. Chait doesn't mention it, but we don't see anything in a banner headline after Eisenhower that doesn't have to do with Biff Tannen, Emmit Brown, the McFly family (directly or indirectly), or the clock tower. They get progressively sillier, especially after Marty and the Doc fix timelines they originally broke through their own actions.
I've always figured that Robert Zemeckis wanted to lampoon in a subtle manner the way films use newspaper headlines to drive story lines. That's a hoary Hollywood device from back in the days when they would spin the papers as an overlay to printing presses churning out the news. (One of the best satires of this technique came in Johnny Dangerously, which spoofed old mob movies, with the headline "MORONI DEPORTED TO SWEDEN: Claims He's Not From There".) We don't see that cliché quite as much anymore, but in its place, we now get chyrons and screen crawls with typewriter/keyboard sound effects. I'm not sure which is worse.
Of course, it could also be that BTTF intended on demonstrating the real future of newspapers, as Chait concludes:
Unless perhaps the film is trying to point to a different future for media: hyper, hyper-localism.

Baker in running at second base
Baker in running at second base
But there's nothing wrong with his feet. Assuming the elbow heals in another day or so as expected, he can resume showing the nimbleness that could give him a real chance in the competition for the start at second.
It's something Baker, 26, a corner infielder-outfielder who was the primary right-handed pinch-hitter last season, has worked toward since meeting with general manager Dan O'Dowd late last season. Prospect Jayson Nix and non-roster veteran Marcus Giles are natural second basemen and logical candidates to replace 2007 second baseman Kazuo Matsui, now with the Astros.
Omar Quintanilla, Clint Barmes and Ian Stewart are candidates. Like Baker, Stewart is a natural third baseman. Baker is looking more like a second baseman than a third baseman looking for a chance.
"After Dan had a meeting with me to talk about possibly moving to second, during BP and stuff I tried to get as many ground balls and take as many fungoes as I could at second," Baker said. "And I just watched Matsui and Jamey Carroll, and then working with 'Gags' [third base coach Mike Gallego] and Walt Weiss [a special front-office assistant], I kind of had a good pace and fundamentals to go back to the offseason with. I just touched base with Gags this offseason, and he'd offer some tidbits here and there."
Gallego said he passed to Baker borrowed ideas from boxing.
"I suggested he start jumping rope," said Gallego, who referred to Baker as a 'B' student -- a high grade for a player who hasn't played the position in a Major League game. "That was something I did as a player. Another thing I told him to do was start hitting off the speed bag. I basically told him he could work out as a boxer.
"Whether he did, I don't know. But whatever he did, he's quickened up his feet and hands. When your feet are working, your hands come. He's done extra homework."
Baker said he never got around to the speed bag, but said he picked up the intensity of the rope jumping and it helped.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Continuing with the boxing theme, Baker is making his second drop in weight class in as many years. Last year, Baker, a third baseman by trade who has weighed as much as 225, dropped to 210-215 while adding outfield to his duties. This year, he's 205.
The lighter body worked well at second on Thursday against the Diamondbacks, especially while turning an eighth-inning double play with a runner bearing down on him. Also, manager Clint Hurdle has noticed that the drop in weight has had little or no effect on his bat speed.
"It's one of those fun things, to kind of seeing my body transform to what it needs to be," Baker said. "I went into college really skinny at 175 and came out 215. So maybe next year I'll be 245 and be jacked. I don't know.
"I was able to cut down some body fat and issues like that and maintain my strength, but at the same time gain some lateral quickness. So it was definitely something that was good. I'm probably close to as strong as I have been in the past, but not quite."
Baker, who also has seen time at first base, said he is still learning how to handle bunt plays and rundowns, since at second base he'd be essentially doing the opposite of what a corner player would do. But it's becoming more natural.
Several freak injuries slowed Baker's progress through the Minors. For example, he suffered a concussion when hit by a throw when he was trying to score, and a thumb injury when he was hit with a line drive during batting practice.
As for the elbow injury, he was hit by Diamondbacks right-hander Jailen Peguero to force in the run that turned a possible loss into a 5-5 tie. Baker's response to the suggestion that he took one for the team was a pained, "Ugh."
But once the injury heals, Baker will continue his fight for second base.

Are those of you in Colorado drying out yet? Did you have to build an ark?
Last summer, back in Colorado, there was this week where Rick went out of town for work. In fact he was in San Antonio. We had some terrible thunderstorms that week, and the power went out in the middle of the night and I had a kiddo crying in bed with me, terrified. All this happened during one of the worst wild fire seasons Colorado had ever seen. And I had the thought… what if.
What if my house caught on fire and I was here by myself with the kids? What if there was a flash flood (we lived in a flood plain) and we had to get out quick? What would I do? What would I grab? How would I manage the kids?
I'm not a doomsday-er but those what-ifs stayed on my mind.
We taught the kids Stop, Drop and Roll as well as our phone numbers and address. I mentally started writing lists of what I'd like our family's emergency preparedness to look like. And I started thinking about posts on preparedness. I mentioned back in January that I'd like to write more about it.
Let me preface all this by saying, I'm not an expert on prepping, and I'm sure you can easily Google a billion-and-one sites on the subject. These are just the small steps we are taking now.
We started simple. The first-aid kit for the car.
I started with this because it was easy to put together, and didn't feel too crazy, zombie-apocalypse, doomsday prepper.
The car first aid kit was especially easy because I started from a pre-assembled kit.
My first real job after high school was working for a masonry contractor as an estimator and project coordinator. Sometimes the job required me to go out to job sites, and any vehicle on a job site had to have a first aid kit. My boss gave me a kit for my truck.
I totally stole the kit, unintentionally keeping it after I left the job. Sorry Gregg, if you're reading this. I honestly forgot it was there. I stuck the kit under my seat when it was given to me and never touched it again until I sold the truck six years later. And what did I do with it then? Stuck it under the seat of the next car.
So when I pulled the kit out last month to check it over… well, let's just say a few things had expired.
Yeah – that's pain-killer that expired ten years ago, and band-aids that are less than sterile. The wrapper just shredded and flaked off when I tried to open one.
So after taking inventory of the kit, I updated it.
I put in fresh band aids and pain-killer. I kept the old, non-sterile band aids for my toddler to use up on all her imaginary owies. 😉 I also added some chewable children's pain-killer tablets.
It should be noted that most pain-killers says to store it under 85° because medications tend to lose efficacy after exposure to higher temps. While this is a bigger concern for heart and thyroid medications, it's a good general rule to not keep medication of any kind in the car during the summer. For my family, I understand that and am choosing to keep the medicine in the car anyway. I promise to change it out if it expires. In my opinion, less effective pain-meds are better than no pain-meds, in an emergency.
Rick has a slight allergy to wasp stings, à la Will Smith in Hitch. Not enough to get an epi-pen (we asked the doctor for one, he said no), but enough to justify adding Benadryl to the kit and a sting kit to the glove-box.
I also put in tweezers. I mean what's a first aid kit without them?
With all of that, I stuck the updated kit back in the truck. And I promise to take better care of it by keeping it up to date.
But a first aid kit and sting kit aren't really enough in the car. Here is a short list of what else we keep in the back.
Rope and bungee cords
Road Atlas
Emergency blankets (updated from one to multiple)
Jumper cables and basic tools, including vice grips
A good knife and a bone saw (this and the tarp made our road-kill elk a possibility)
Granola bars
A couple of jugs of water (those 3 gallon ones with the spouts fit nicely by the wheel well)
Most of that stuff fits in the little side compartment in the back of the 4Runner.
I'm sure there are more things I could do to prepare the truck for an emergency, however, we are driving around with three kids and a dog and all the various gear that goes with that. Plus we still need room for groceries.
This is a baby step. There are a lot more things we can do to get prepared in case of an emergency. But in the spirit of the old Independence Days Challenge, even small steps count towards the bigger picture.
What steps, big or small, have you taken to be ready for an emergency?

Green Bay Welcomes Bennett Home, Hosts Virginia Saturday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's basketball team, winners of three of its past four games, returns home on Saturday to host rv/rv Virginia (7-2) at 4:05 p.m. CT in a nationally-televised game at the Resch Center.
As Green Bay (4-2) is welcomed home Saturday from its third-place finish in the Great Alaska Shootout, the program is also welcoming home Phoenix Hall of Famer and all-time leading scorer Tony Bennett. During his storied career at Green Bay from 1988-92, Bennett starred for his father Dick Bennett and helped the team to the 1991 NCAA Tournament. His 2,285 career points and 601 career assists still rank first in Phoenix history.
While's Bennett's return will bring memories of his days as a talented player, he will return coaching an extremely talented team. He is in his fifth season as the head coach at Virginia, an experienced Atlantic Coast Conference squad sitting just outside the nation's top-25.
Head coach Brian Wardle's Phoenix team will be looking to build upon a strong trip to Alaska, which included victories over Pepperdine and Tulsa. Junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) continued his impressive play, averaging 24.7 points and 6.7 assists in three games in Anchorage, and on Monday Sykes was named the Horizon League Player of the Week for a Phoenix record sixth time (second time in 2013-14).
Saturday's contest will be televised live on ESPNU, the fourth-straight nationally-televised game for the Phoenix. Mike Morgan (play-by-play) and Brooke Weisbrod (analyst) will be on the call.
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #5 Lamin Fulton, G, Jr., 5-10, 175
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
AN EVENING WITH THE BENNETTS: On Friday night, the Green Bay men's basketball program is hosting "An Evening with the Bennetts" to allow fans to hear from both Dick and Tony Bennett. The 45-minute question and answer session will begin at the Resch Center at 7:30 p.m. For more information about the event, click here.
LIVE COVERAGE: In addition to ESPNU's coverage, fans can listen live to a radio broadcast of the contest on WNFL 1440 AM or online at GreenBayPhoenix.com with Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Cordero Barkley (analyst) on the call.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay and Virginia have met in Charlottesville in each of the past two seasons, with the Cavaliers winning 68-42 in 2011-12 and 67-51 in 2012-13. Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Sykes have each averaged 11.5 points for the Phoenix while Virginia's Joe Harris has averaged 14.5 points and made 5-of-8 threes in the two games.
QUICK GRAND: Sykes will be honored prior to Saturday's game for becoming the 26th member of the program's 1,000-point club in the team's 67-59 win over Tulsa last weekend. Doing so in his 70th career game, Sykes is the third fastest player in the program's Division I history to eclipse the 1,000-point mark (Tony Bennett - 56 games, Richard Sims - 68 games).
BUILDING BLOCKS: Green Bay blocked 26 shots at the Great Alaska Shootout, the second-most by a team in the tournament's history. With at least nine blocks in five of six games, Green Bay ranks second nationally blocking 9.5 shots per game. Of the program's top-10 all-time single-game team block efforts, five have been recorded in 2013-14.
SEEING 20/20: After scoring 20 or more points in all three games in Anchorage, Sykes has now scored 20-plus in five-straight games (32, 21, 23, 26, 25). He is the first Phoenix player to score 20 or more in at least five consecutive games since Jeff Nordgaard accomplished the feat in five-straight contests from Jan. 20-Feb. 10, 1996. No Phoenix player in the program's Division I history has ever scored 20 or more in six-straight games, and the last Green Bay player to accomplish that feat was Joe Mauel from Feb. 6-23, 1980.
STREAKING SOPHOMORE: Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) has opened the 2013-14 season by extending two impressive statistical streaks. The 6-foot-7 sophomore wing has blocked at least one shot in 29-straight games. The reigning rebounding champion in the Horizon League has also grabbed five or more boards in 25 consecutive games.
TOUGH LOSSES: Green Bay has dropped two games this season, losing to Wisconsin (9-0) and Harvard (8-1) teams that have combined for a 17-1 record to date. The Phoenix held second-half leads against both Wisconsin and Harvard. Entering Saturday, Green Bay's strength of schedule ranks 15th in the country.
MID-MAJOR POLL: Green Bay has moved up to No. 14 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Poll after holding steady at No. 21 for the first three polls.
FILL IT UP: Green Bay's 97 points against Pepperdine mark the most scored by the program since tallying 106 against Northern Michigan on Dec. 29, 2005. The Phoenix scored 90 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time since the 1971-72 season when Green Bay defeated Northland (Feb. 26, 1972; 106-71) and Milton (March 1, 1972; 98-80).
SCORELESS STATLINE: With 97 points scored and five players in double figures in Green Bay's win over Pepperdine, it is surprising that one of the most impressive stat lines came from a player who finished with zero in the scoring column. Fouse played 30 minutes and totaled seven rebounds, six steals, four assists and three blocked shots without committing a turnover.
THIRD TRIPLE-DOUBLE: Brown recorded a triple-double with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocked shots against Minnesota Duluth. The triple-double was the third in the program's history, and the first accomplished by someone other than Javier Mendiburu, who recorded the first two triple-doubles during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. Brown became the first Green Bay player and the first player in Horizon League history to post a triple-double including blocked shots.

The start of this new month brings with it lighter nights and brighter days, or a least we hope so. We have to say it, we're done with winter and as much as we do enjoy cosying up on cold nights with a hot choc and girly DVD, we'd much prefer to have a social life and not feel like its bed time when we leave work because it's so dark.
The somewhat erratic weather of recent has been teasing us with the odd but gloriously sunny day, the next day however is rubbish and the next few days after that too! This is causing havoc with our wardrobe choices, as when we leave the house in the morning it's cold and rather grim, but come lunch time the sun comes out in all its glory and makes conditions almost stifling. Then as soon as the sun goes down, it's blumming freezing again! What is a girl to do?! Well, during this inter-season phase, when its not quite warm enough to wear the spring/summer collections that have been in the shops since February, but neither is it cold enough to still be wearing full on winter layers, the key to combating wardrobe choices is layering. Luckily this is hot trend too right now, so you can look chic and keep warm/cool/dry all at the same time! The best place to start with the layering look is with a good set of basics, long and short sleeve tee-shirts, simple cardigans and shirts. Click here to view our range of basic tees and tops for layering, and to assure you get the perfect fit discover your Bravissimo size.

4 1 2
Ever since a former neighbor shared this recipe with me, it has been a family favorite. Since it makes a lot, it's good for a company dinner or buffet. The meat gets nice and tender from baking slowly for several hours. —Lorraine Hodge, McLean, Virginia
Recommended: BBQ Recipes Across America
- 1 fresh beef brisket (5 pounds)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Liquid Smoke, optional
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Place brisket on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil; seal tightly. Place in a greased shallow roasting pan. Bake at 325° for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
- Carefully open foil to allow steam to escape. Remove brisket from foil; let stand for 20 minutes. Thinly slice meat across the grain. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Spoon sauce over meat. Cover and bake for 1 hour or until heated through. Yield: 12 servings.

Yep. And it's not lack of coaching ability that did him in...it's all the sarcastic posts to this forum. I guess they questioned his maturity.
I think Laimbeer is a good coach desicion,becouse we saw he did a great job coaching Shock.I know a lot of people are hoping for a better coach,but today every good or great choach has a job.
"...you're one of the best field commanders I've got but you don't know when to shut up. Bill, you're a pain in the neck..." YouTube - Laimbeer - [ War film ] Credits: George C. Scott as Bill Laimbeer Slapped soldier as Tay Karl Malden as Joe Ike reference as Bill D speaking from the grave Paper hanging SOB reference as David Stern Shot on location: Sicily = Boston (Rondo) France = Orlando (Pietrus) Battle of the Bulge = Cleveland (Shaq)
I love Beer but I think I would prefer a coach with experience in this league, (Collins, Avery, JVG, Mitchell).
Avery Johnson and Doug Collins were contacted too
We know about Collins. We have some knowledge about Avery. What Laimbeer would be like is an unknown at this point. But I still wonder who has the biggest upside? I know that higher risk also comes with the upside most of the time.
Just because I know how to interview for a women's coaching job doesn't mean that it would translate to a successful interview for a men's coaching job.
Collins, definitely not. AJ, maybe but you have to wonder about his flameout BL, no experience as a head coach in the NBA, but between these three, I like him the best; clearly has Pistons' DNA and would want to restore some measure of discipline. He'd get in these guys' faces. Avery might, too. But Avery is a little point guard. Laimbeer has a presence. Collins would be a huge mistake.
I kind of think along the same line. I would disagree that Collins would be a mistake. He'd be an upgrade over Curry and can be a short-term stop gap to possibly get Laimbs some experience as an assistant or to fill in until someone else becomes available.
Just a passing thought. There's a lot of buzz in coaching circles when you start talking about all the head coaches, possible vacancies and assistant coaching positions. Could be Dumars is simply doing his old buddy a favor by giving him some public respect. As Joe is in a touchy spot having just let a rookie coach go and having just had Laimbeer quit his Shock gig to presumably find a NBA position. Putting Bill in the mix would indicate he isn't showing dis-respect. In fact he's giving him an interview which is more than he's likely to do for a half a dozen or more guys that have head coaching experience and are floating around out there. It's a situation where being publicly considered is the next best thing to being hired. It's sure closer than guys like P.J. Carlesimo, Eddie Jordan, Tom Thibodeau or Bernie Bickerstaff are likely to get (though Bickerstaff has credentials in developing young players). It could be considered a professional courtesy. I do think it's conceivable that Laimbeer would make a good big mans coaching assistant. But maybe not in Detroit as whoever he works for might feel the breath of the grim reaper over his right shoulder. Anyway just my nickels worth....
It was the last time the Pistons interviewed him back in 01. But who knows - kind of slim choices out there. I am not that thrilled with any of them.

Discussion in '2009 Playoffs' started by max, Apr 26, 2009.
Hopefully, McCoskey said it.
Listening to Blaha after a game is like walking on glass!
Lol....no hubie brown when the game was over.......said curry was dealt a bad hand and will be back.
The last game ever to be played by the old core. I won't miss them much. Not after watching how bad they were today. The remaining 3, Rip, Sheed, and Prince did zero in this game. And it seemed Curry only played them to ensure the loss. The old core that won the championship was Billups, traded, Rip, soon to be gone, Tay, soon to be gone, Ben, left when the leaving was good, good for him, and Sheed, soon to be gone. Dyess had a fine game. He looked terrible in there when paired with a center. Or I should say, it sure looked like nobody was home between the two centers who were supposedly in the game. Our defensive rotations of course were rancid. Curry never adjusted. Never cared about what was going on in the slightest, just kept up the silly mantra of just play hard. Bynum did well. Why Stuckey had to be our starter this year - and why we therefore gave up on AI - and before that sent Rip to the bench - it makes no sense at this point Madness. A season of player mismanagement by a coach who does not have the slightest clue. Sheed arrived injured due to being asked to sprint down the floor too much to get back on transition D, since Curry so often paired him with Dyess - or Kwame, who of course could not do the job. Sheed is still heavily injured from that, so Curry gets a zero out of 100 for player prep for Sheed. Dyess? Remember the rebounding machine he was for a while. That should have been occurring now, not 20 games back. Dyess got burnt out early because Curry made the stupid rookie decision to put Dyess in as a starter. Rip? Groin injury that has never healed. Where did he get that from? Playing small ball and asking him to guard guys heavier than him. Another 0. Prince is heavily injured. And we never developed a backup small forward, so we just played the heck out of him, injured or not. Pathetic preparation at that position. Stuckey just got way overplayed for his first full year. Young does not mean you can play that many minutes. Another case of mismanaging a player. Amir did not play the last two. A travesty of course after making a difference in game 2. Tonight, Afflalo shines at the end of the first quarter, so does not play at the end of the 3rd quarter. We stay with a totally useless injured Rip Hamilton there, just to make sure the success of the first quarter can not in any way possible translate into success in the 3rd quarter. No Kwame. I guess he must be injured again? Did not hear. Who to keep? For sure, not Dumars. He has utterly failed the fans as a GM since we won it all, making one stinking salary cap move after another, and never caring about getting the team better. Hiring his buddy to coach - that is the last straw. Half the people at the Palace tonight were from Cleveland. How much more of a shameful performance can you put out than to populate Piston land with fans from the mistake on the lake. Not much more to say about the game. JMAX was not getting the job done on the offensive end, but we should not have been force feeding him the ball inside when it was not working out. Just bad coaching. Herrmann barely played. What a joke. Another reason to fire Dumars just for signing this guy. Catch you all next season. However, I am done writing up the games. To many of you who have liked my writeups, thanks for reading. Have a great day.
Yeah, he was dealt a bad hand alright...by his parents...a low I.Q. and poor fashion sense...
this hurts. Now I finally know for sure that this team is as bad as it presented itself during the regular season. I have to admit that I was hoping for a Cinderella story til this very moment. I feel so sorry for Mc Dyess who fought like a warrior for this team. He is the real deal, no matter what. Now it's time to get into rebuild- mode. Everyone's on the block, except for Bynum. Maybe he could form a nice backcourt with Stuckey at the 2 for years to come. I'd keep Mc Dyess until he's 50, only because of his heart. But I'd rather see him win that damn ring somewhere and with the Pistons in rebuild- mode this is going to be difficult...
Didn't watch after game 3, thankfully it's over. I'm glad the Cavs steamrolled the Pistons, maybe Joe will finally understand how much they lack in the coaching and player department. If CB was here we would have likely won a game or two, making things look more competitive than they really are. Sweeping changes are needed, everyone except Bynum (need a PG) should be available for a price. Bye to Sheed and Dice. Maybe they need to get rid of the old guard in Tay and Rip, this team needs a fresh new attitude. It was suggested that AI was not accepted by the veterans as CB leaving was a shock, and they expected AI to fall in line as they had and I have won a Ring attitude. This was in MLive, take it for what its worth.
Most relieving day of the year.
I feel exactly the same way. It's been a great ride, but its time for a clean slate and fresh start. Here's where Joe gets to really earn his pay. The 2004 Stone's were freaking awesome. Ben was flying all over the court. CB was nailing daggers, and Sheed was completely involved. I want to see a young athletic team, which lays it on the line every night.
Old school pistons (tay. Sheed, and Rip) showed no pride scoring a total of 8 pts on 3-24 shooting and went to the line twice. Only Bynum, Dyess and Stuckey looked like they wanted to extend the season and I am sure Kwame would have wanted to also it Curry had remembered he was on the team. I heard Magic say in the pregame that the Pistons need to show some pride and not go down likw this. Then after the game Michael Cooper came on and said he was surprised that the Pistons folded without going down with a fight. No heart and no respect for the coach IMO If Joe doesn't fire him in the next week or so, then he needs to resign himself. Can't expect to land a nice FA without them knowing that they have a good coach leading the team.
Sad thing, when the Bulls went into OT, I could have switched to ESPN2 to watch the Pistons. Any other time over the last 20 year, I would have. But today, I watched the Bulls, and I cheered for them, because I saw a young hungry team. Then I saw the Pistons. Yuck.
Here are the final +/- figures for the entire 2009 playoff run: AJ: +9 WH: +7 AA: +2 WB: -17 JM: -19 KB: -22 AM: -39 RS: -49 TP: -50 RW: -58 RH: -74 Holy Lebron did our big 3 play like they wanted to be traded! Totally pathetic. The bad back, the strained calf, and the nagging groin may have been part of it, but there was definitely more. Sheed was totally absent. No shot blocking, no offensive rebounding, no effort to get in the paint, no defensive enforcement, no deep shooting, and seemingly no visual leadership. Tay may have been the most injured, given that he couldn't complete a game. Clearly he would have been getting muscled around though even if he was 100%. Rip was just overmatched... like Bowen was guarding him or something. Everything he did looked difficult against Cleveland... and surely it was difficult to be the go-to scorer against such a good defense. Can't beat them by yourself in the half-court. Stuckey was nothing special. Bad shooting, a couple nice drives and a bunch of forced drives that teed the ball up for Cleveland's fast break. McDyess was the best of the starting unit with his nice shooting. But as Lee mentioned, we didn't get to see the super energized Dice of the regular season. Should never have increased his minutes before the post season to Tay-like levels. Good job today hitting all those jump shots. But the real story in my opinion is that we discovered Will Bynum. This is a guy who we never would have given playing time if it weren't for the Billups trade + the injuries/ AI-WOL incedents. Will was arguably our best player in this series and for the last month of the season. We are paying him nothing. He was a nobody. And now we have a PG for next year if we want to move Stuck to the SG position. If we want to stick with Stuck, then we have a top 5 backup PG. Will Bynum and Aron Afflalo were playing incredible defense today. And on top of that, Cleveland actually felt the need to have Lebron guard Will Bynum! Oh well. The rebuild begins now. This season was a bad soap opera. I really hope MC is gone ASAP, but would bet the farm that he'll be back. Maybe Kwame will march into the locker room and end the MC experiment!
I was sad when that game ended. When the Pistons came on TV I proceeded moving boxes from the last house to the new one. Frankly, the Pistons shouldn't have even made an attempt to make the playoffs. What a snoozer of a series.
Other post-seasons we used to post threads in the staff area on the best way to organize all the playoff threads so they would be easy to read. This year its just writing up 4 threads as the games came along. The rate at which the Pistons were losing going into this and playing against the top seeded team you knew it would be ugly. But I was hoping they would show more pride and play a little tougher - heck maybe even win a game. One of those years. If there was something to go wrong or to not work out then it always seemed to happen. And it all had to end listening to all the Cavs fans who purchased those $11 tickets. What did they make out of that deal - an extra 20K or so. Anyway its done. Its done and I am glad its done. No more feeling obligated to watch a game that you know is going to be rough. Can sit back and enjoy the rest of the playoffs now. Watch the playoffs and wait for the draft and FA period to begin. There is going to be a lot of trades happening. This summer should not disappoint like last summer did. Dumars has no choice now.
Probably $100K when you throw in parking & concessions. I feel sorta relieved it's over cuz it's been agonizing to watch.
Good choice.
We're learning why the Bulls finished ahead of us. They're hungrier...and better.
I actually felt like crying at the end of the game. Sad really that this is the end. It's been so much fun watching these guys for such a long time now and how in the heck are we supposed to watch the Pistons without Rasheed yelling "Straight Up, Straight Up , I won't be able to stand it. I watched every one of these games with Cleveland with a heavy heart, knew what was coming, knew the end was near, but somehow praying maybe just maybe a miricle would happen but deep down knew all along it was a pipe dream. Couldn't stop hoping a little bit tho. Damn its sad.
Thanks for the writeup. I say if Curry is back, the fans should not come back. Not one person to commit to renewing their season tickets until they hear Curry is fired. Me, right now, I don't have a job, heading back to college, so I won't be spending on any games. But people who can, don't. Not with this coach. And really, should we even extend this to Dumars going bye bye?
Another unaggressive game by the Pistons...not even caring about getting sweeped....disgusting.

God and Man in the Environmental Debate
I recently received a letter from a leading botanist at a prominent scientific institution. The letter was mostly agreeable and even complimentary. But near the end, when humanity became the subject, its tone darkened. The scientist said he disagreed with me that human beings were part of the plan, as it were. On the contrary, he complained about "the devastation humans are currently imposing upon our planet":
Still, adding over seventy million new humans to the planet each year, the future looks pretty bleak to me. Surely, the Black Death was one of the best things that ever happened to Europe: elevating the worth of human labor, reducing environmental degradation, and, rather promptly, producing the Renaissance. From where I sit, Planet Earth could use another major human pandemic, and pronto!
Based on his public writings, I would expect this scientist to be personable and humane. Nevertheless, in his private correspondence, he casually wishes for the deaths of many millions of his fellow human beings. If he were merely offering an eccentric, private opinion, I wouldn't be writing about it. Unfortunately, his desire is all too common among some self-described "environmentalists." Our wellbeing, on this view, doesn't really enter into the calculation. We are, at best, an accident of cosmic history, and at worst, despoilers and destroyers. Adding more humans to the planet, then, is as bad as adding more parasites to an already ailing host.
Again, this would be merely academic, except that such ideas have real world consequences. Every environmental policy implemented by government authority, for instance, stems from someone's views about the nature of man and man's place in nature. If those views are anti-human, the policy probably will be anti-human as well. Consider the ban on DDT in the 1970s. The ban, which in hindsight we know was misguided, has resulted in the deaths of more than a million people a year. The vast majority of these deaths have been among the poor in developing countries.
Because environmental policies perpetuate certain notions about the human person, and because these notions have real world consequences, Christians have little choice but to engage the debate over the environment. In particular, we should strongly challenge the misanthropic strain in the modern environmental movement. Human beings aren't an accident. We are an intended part of God's good creation. And while God called everything he created "good," he only called human beings, whom He created in his own image, "very good."
That doesn't mean God has given us a free pass to do whatever we want. On the contrary, the Bible tells us that the Earth is the Lord's, and we are its stewards. We have a delegated responsibility over the Earth, for which we will be held accountable. And Scripture is hardly Pollyannaish about fallen humanity's destructive tendencies. So we should not be surprised to find that we sometimes abuse our stewardship over nature.
These truths provide a solid theological foundation for addressing environmental concerns while avoiding an anti-human bias. Unfortunately, these truths do not figure prominently in the contemporary debate. In fact, it's more fashionable to argue-incorrectly-that the Judeo-Christian tradition is the problem, not the solution. Even some Christians who have entered the fray have not been careful to separate the empirical evidence from the doubtful assumptions.
An organization called the Interfaith Stewardship Alliance has been launched to help Jews and Christians develop a positive environmental ethic that avoids such pitfalls. Announced this fall at a press conference at the Ugandan embassy in Washington D.C., the ISA is a coalition of individuals and institutions-including the Acton Institute-who share an interest in environmental stewardship. The ISA will focus on issues such as global warming, population, poverty, food, energy, clean water, endangered species, and habitats.
The ISA draws its inspiration from the Cornwall Declaration, published by the Acton Institute in 2000. As theologian Calvin Beisner explains, the Cornwall Declaration describes human beings not merely as consumers and polluters but also as producers and stewards. It challenges the popular assumption that "nature knows best," or that "the earth, untouched by human hands is the ideal." And it calls for thoughtful people to distinguish environmental concerns that "are well founded and serious," from others that "are without foundation or greatly exaggerated." In other words, it calls for a reasoned, humane environmental ethic. At a time when mistaken policies based on anti-human assumptions can lead to the deaths of millions of people, such an ethic cannot come soon enough.
Jay W. Richards is director of institutional relations at the Acton Institute.

Case Matheis was in pain.
But his victorious teammates were already seated for their final bus ride back to school.
The Duke-bound senior star, meanwhile, was still on the field where Matheis' Darien (Conn.) team wrapped up an 11-5 win over FCIAC champion New Canaan in the Connecticut Class M state championship game on Saturday.
With the Blue Wave's seventh state title in the last eight years now secured, it was time for Matheis to make one last sprint in a Blue Wave uniform. This time, through the parking lot at Brien McMahon High School in Norwalk.
Matheis suffered a hip injury early in the second quarter while trying to split through a triple-team and was sidelined for the remainder of the half. He started the second half, but quickly exited the game when taking a check to the hip early in the third quarter.
But after New Canaan made a run to pull within 7-4, Matheis reentered the game unexpectedly on a Blue Wave extra-man opportunity.
Despite clearly hobbling, Matheis fired a bullet pass to Peter Lindley, who scored the third of his four goals with 7:32 remaining for what proved to be the clincher.
It was the last play of a memorable high school career as Matheis, the only four-year starter in school history, finished as Darien's all-time leading scorer.
Matheis, who had a goal to go along with the assist, also led the Wave to their seventh state title in the last eight years.
Cornell-bound senior Henry West joined Lindley as a four-goal scorer.
Fairfield Prep avenged for a loss to Ridgefield in last year's Connecticut Class L title game by holding off the Tigers 8-6 in a title-game rematch.
Mike Seelye made 18 saves and Matt Brophy scored four goals for the Jesuits, who won their first state title since 2009.
Fairfield Prep jumped out to a 4-1 halftime lead.
In Class S, Joel Barlow won a state title for just the second time in school history, pulling away from Somers 15-2. Barlow's other title came in 2002.
Nolan Stauffer had five goals and three assists and Mike Mattson had four goals and one assist and dominated faceoffs for the Falcons, who broke open a 2-2 game by outscoring the Spartans 11-0 in the second quarter.
With West Islip (Class A), Garden City (Class B) and Shoreham-Wading River (Class C) taking state championships in Saturday's tripleheader at Middletown High School, Long Island pulled off a sweep of the state championships for the first time since 2006.
In that season, West Islip (A), Huntington (B) and Cold Spring Harbor (C) took titles.
Behind Scott Bieda's career-high six goals, Bridgewater-Raritan won its second straight New Jersey Tournament of Champions title by defeating Delbarton 11-5 Saturday night at Kean University.
Bridgewater-Raritan, which beat Summit last year for the TOC title, also was lifted by the play of Ryan Hollingsworth (one goal, four assists) and Zach Jones (12 saves).
Bridgewater, carried by a dominant defense all season, built an 8-1 halftime lead.

Re: Cal 21 Keel
1/2" That's what I use and it does the job nicely. I didn't go brass, I went with steel. I also leave the cable attached as a backup.
Re: Cal 21 Keel
We just had a new mast base made by a local machinist. The existing one was someone's attempt to replace the original but was made from aluminum. This on is 1/4in stainless. This is based on RJohnson's post of the drawing.
Re: Cal 21 Keel
We finally made some progress on the rebuild of the trunk which turned into rebuild pretty much everything. This is a picture of the V berth braces and some bracing for the keel trunk (rebuild, after demo and before demo). We used 3/4 in marine ply and filleted it in place. Next step is to sand it down and fiberglass the seams, eventually hoping to be sailing this spring!
|Thanks for the pics and info Rod! A bit of an update as to where we are with my boat. We decided to remove all of the interior wood and sand off the paint. We are almost ready to rebuild the v-berth and some support for the keel trunk that runs perpendicular. We are also putting in a hatch at the back which will be fiberglassed in for the gas tank...lots to get done before the spring! Hoping to do a bit of trailer sailing this year. I'll send pics as we make progress.
|Hey Rod, great input as usual! Seems as how I have missed a couple of posts on this very valuable thread, but did get a notice on your recent postings. I have been in Western Australia for a month or so now, and will be there hopefully til Spring hits NY. I am helping my son with his boat which is similar to the Cal21, but wider and much more stable. Pretty windy down here in Albany on King George Sound. Interesting to read that you folks weren't trying to trailer your boat at the end. I think that may be the way I will have to go too. Theoretically it seems as launching and hauling each sail is doable, but as a practical matter....
I missed the question about the notch in hte keel for the cable, ours had it, but some boats came with the tip of the keel cut off and a Stainless-Steel hook in it's place.... I remember seeing at least 1 or 2 like that on display at the New England Boat show in the early 1970's. However, I've never seen one since!
We modified our keel about 2 years before we sold her after the boatyard tried to winch the keel up flush and snapped the tip of the keel off (Luckily with the boat on hte cradle? so the keel couldn't drop far!).
You can count me as one who will back up the need to be ABSOLUTELY sure that the cable is well seated in that notch before raising the keel too far. We ultimately just hooked the cable on each Fall before haulout, raised the keel just enough to remove the locking bolt and instructed the yard to raise the keel after they hauled us on hte travel-lift.
Not original!!
The original setup was a 1" diameter Stainless-Steel bolt through the two sides of the keel trunk. This bolt had a hard rubber washer on each side to seal it. We used to have to tighten the bolt about 1/4 turn each spring after lauching to reduce the weeping. After a week or so it would swell up and stop dripping. If you trailer your boat it should still swell up if kept damp.
I have all sorts of pics of our locking bolt, since we modified that (after an encounter with a rock!) but I'll have to see if I have any pics of the pivot bolt.
Using the locking bolt while sailing is extra insurance against loss of the keel.
2 pics fro mthe last time (Fall 2000) that we had to rebuild the pivot area of our keel.
|Wow! Thanks. This is great info... We believe that we have found a notch on the back of the keel. Saturday has snow in the forecast... Perfect day to dive and make sure that we have the cable securely attached. What we have read about dropped keels is pretty harrowing. The picture is a tremendous help. We'll keep you posted. Think warm thoughts for this weekend.
You might be able to see it if the water is clear enough. In the photo there is a shackle that my winch connects with to raise and lower. I have never tried to remove the winch line because diving in seems like the easiest way to reattach. Good luck and if you need more info I'll try to help.
|A couple of other things to note - once you hook the line onto the back of the keel make sure you remove the locking pin before cranking it up. There is also potential that the keel plug is in place. Check out this website for more details - Keel Plug page
