I'm sure many of you can sympathise- we see a cool model in a kickstarter, finally get it delivered and then sit flummoxed whilst trying to figure out exactly how to paint said mini. This Mystic Portal has been sitting on my painting desk since last June and I finally figured out what to do with it.
Imagine that your players have just finished ransacking your meticulously planned dungeon/keep/cavern system. They've breezed through the encounters, possibly due to good dice rolls or possibly that they're a bunch of min/maxing little murder hobos. What you need is one final encounter, one last chance for them to shine or to let them spectacularly fail.
There's one last room left and it's securely locked. It'll certainly be magically warded and if I know my players then that's a challenge that they won't be able to pass up. Inside the room is a single portal, made of nondescript stone but with stunning looking gems set into the eyes of it's carved dragons. Surely none of them would be daft enough to trigger an obviously dangerous portal?
You haven't met my players
My plan to paint one side of the portal the naturalistic stone colour and to paint the other side the fully active, just about to summon a multi headed dragon, portal. This means that when they invariably trigger it, all I have to do is spin it around and savour their worried/confused faces Here's hoping that I can actually do it justice.
This is the portal. It's cast in translucent bonesium, which I like because it gives you a choice between taking advantage to it's see through quality or to just paint it like a normal mini. I opted to paint it as normal.
There was a slight bit of warping on the base piece, but the old 'boiling/ice water' trick sorted it out in 5 minutes. I'm planning on setting the base on some warning runes, so I used the Greenstuff World Dwarven rolling pin on some foam to see how it would fit onto the pattern.
On to the painting! I painted the inactive side of the portal Cloudy Grey 9089 and the active side Pure Black 9037.
I'm not sure if I'm going to fuzz up this line or leave it as a stark contrast.
I added a black/ green wash to dirty up the stone and added a little bit of orange to the stone to give it a little bit of texture
The real work begins! I started blocking in the colours for the active side of the portal. Red, purplish black, white, green and blue. It's almost as if I'm trying to match my half finished Ma'al Drakar
My coordination went a bit wobbly with the foo dogs(which are awesome, btw!) so that's where I left it for tonight. We've got a storm coming in tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get some more work done on it tomorrow. Any comments/criticism/suggestions are, as always, warmly received.

Speed paint job that I did as part of my 4th of July Paint Binge this year. I was vaguely going for crazy Rutger Hauer from Blade Runner, with the white hair.

Got this guy in my Bones Paint & Take Home Survival Kit earlier this year. He was done with lots of sloppy washes and dry brushing. I put flock on its exposed twigs, for decency's sake.

The more than 700 CEOs that responded to the survey clearly showed they are concerned with human capital, innovation, and internal processes and policies to position them to get ahead in a slow economy, as opposed to dealing with external factors such as global political or economic risk.
We analyze responses by region—Asia, United States, and Europe—and rank CEO strategies for meeting major challenges. The overall pattern in responses shows that to meet challenges, companies are looking to their people, but the differences in the way CEOs in discrete respondent groups approach these challenges are sometimes surprising.

Global Action Week 2013: April 21-27
This year, Educaton For All focuses on giving all children access to a well-trained teacher.
Around the world, more than 61 million children do not attend elementary school. Part of the Education for All (EFA) movement, Global Action Week (GAW) is an annual worldwide event to raise the awareness of the urgent need to provide quality basic education for all children, youth, and adults. More than 15 million people in more than 100 countries participated in 2012.
Each year, Global Action Week focuses on one of the EFA goals to adapt to policy changes nationally, and works to mobilize additional political and financial support internationally.
The theme of GAW 2013 is "Every Child Needs a Teacher." "Every Child Needs a Teacher" is a campaign organized by the Global Campaign for Education (GCE) to make targeted efforts to ensure every child has well-trained and well-supported teachers.
Take Action
How can educators in United States support this effort? It's easy:
- Find a list of actions you can take at your school and sign up to pledge your support.
- Teach a lesson from "Lesson for All."
- Sign a petition calling on the government of Pakistan to ensure that Pakistani girls can attend school without fear for their safety.

On the eve of iPad 2.0, it's time to think again about this curious new computer. My intuition tells me that this product category will behave very differently from the iPhone and will not be subject to the same sales ramp.
The iPad has been on the market for less than a year but it's still a puzzle for many. It's a product that's often seen as an iPhone product line extension. From a hardware point of view, it certainly seems to be. It has an almost identical internal architecture and uses almost the same software. An engineer would look at it and reasonably say it's the same thing.
However, from the way it's used and the way it's sold, it has very little in common with its smaller cousin. There are plenty of experts who can detail how the products are used differently, but I would highlight the portability of the iPhone makes it suitable for a completely different set of tasks than the less portable but more immersive iPad.
But what I want to dwell on here is how differently the products are sold. Continue reading "Why operators will find it hard to sell tablets"

Labrador's chance: Spicer's friend gets London hearing
LONDON– On Monday, February 25, five judges will convene in an ornate courtroom on Downing Street, London, a few steps away from Prime Minister Tony Blair's house.
Barristers wearing the high white collars of their profession will file in to appear before what was once the ultimate court for the entire British Empire and is today still the final court of appeal for a number of British territories.
Far away, on the Caribbean island of Tortola, New Yorker William Labrador will work up a sweat on his exercise bike, tend to his small garden, and feed the feral cats he has befriended since his incarceration at Her Majesty's Prison more than three years ago.
But this Monday is not like the hundreds of others Labrador, 39, the executive of a start-up modeling firm, has experienced at the prison. On this day, all the legal research, family fundraisers, and strategising will be put to the test: Can his lawyers, led by British barrister Edward Fitzgerald Q.C., convince the court to declare him innocent of the brutal murder he was convicted of two years ago?
Miles north, Virginian Michael Spicer, 39, will also probably feel a twinge of awareness on Monday. After all, he too knows what it is like to be imprisoned in the British Virgin Islands; he spent more than 15 months at the same prison, charged with the same crime that Labrador is now serving time for.
And what's more, depending on the court's ruling, Spicer– a long-time law student who lives comfortably on family wealth– could find himself back on Tortola, charged with a crime in connection with the January 2000 death of Lois McMillen, the 34-year-old Connecticut artist Labrador was convicted of killing.
At the time of her death, McMillen was staying with her parents at the condominium they owned, located within shouting distance of the villa where Spicer, his 25-year-old boyfriend, Evan George, and a fourth man, New Yorker Alexander Benedetto, were staying.
When McMillen turned up dead one Saturday morning drowned along the rocky shoreline of a main thoroughfare police arrested Spicer and his houseguests within three hours.
After more than a year of waiting (spent behind bars at Her Majesty's Prison on Tortola), the four were tried in 2001. Spicer, George, and Benedetto were acquitted by the judge after four weeks of trial; he ruled that the Crown's case was simply too shaky to proceed.
But Labrador was not set free. He was convicted on the evidence of a fellow inmate, Texas swindler Jeffrey Plante, 61, who said he heard Labrador confess. On May 10, 2001, Justice Kenneth Benjamin did the only thing he could: He sentenced Labrador to the required life term.
Labrador quickly appealed, arguing that the conviction was unsound because of Plante's possible motive to make up a story in return for leniency and the lack of any other corroborative evidence. This argument was bolstered in 2001, when Plante was sentenced to a mere two months for writing more than 20 bad checks. Plante has since left Tortola and is back in prison in Texas, where he is finishing a 45-year sentence for theft.
But Labrador's appeal was rejected by the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal in January 2002, leaving him with one last hope: the Privy Council in England, where the case will be heard next week.
The Privy Council will also consider the question of whether Benedetto should be tried again, as the Court of Appeal ordered last year.
But that is not all. Although Charlottesvillian Spicer was set free in 2001, he did not leave Tortola unencumbered. A joint charge of obstruction of justice remains against him and Benedetto. Prosecutors say they have evidence that the two men tried to prevent a key witness from speaking to police during the murder investigation.
Prosecutors have put this case on hold until the Privy Council ruling, but they haven't dropped the charges. If both Labrador and Benedetto win their appeals, it is unlikely prosecutors will pursue these lesser charges against Spicer. But if the ruling goes the other way Spicer may not be so lucky.
So Spicer will likely be paying close attention to what happens in London next week. After all, he doesn't want to wind up back in Tortola and back behind bars.
Susanna Henighan is a Tortola-based journalist who occasionally reports on this notable case for The Hook.Read more on: Michael Spicer

The Imperial Family of Qian Zhou Appears
On the afternoon of the 29th of the end of the year, snow filled the air of Song Zhou. The clouds were dark and were very low. It was as though they were pressing down the people's heads. Everyone could feel a bit of the oppression.
Three inns had been filled with officials from Da Shun, but after that large fire, at least three-tenths had run away. As for the remaining people, they were all ordered out of the inn by the bearded man. They were all brought out of the inn and gathered in the central plaza of Song Zhou.
Feng Yu Heng and Ban Zou were already mingling with the crowd. Feng Yu Heng even put on a maidservant's disguise, and she was not too far away from magistrate Lu. There were a large number of people tied up in the middle of this plaza. One portion was tied to totems, and another portion was kneeling in the snow. There were men, women and children.
Someone recognized the people tied there, blurting out: "Isn't that lord Sun from Dan Zhou? And his daughter!"
At the same time, more and more people were recognized. They finally understood that the people tied up in the middle of the plaza were all people that had tried to run after the fire at the palace. Unfortunately, in just a short span of time, they were all caught.
The people began to discuss, guessing at how these people would be taken care of. At this time, they saw the bearded man wave his hand and loudly say: "Everyone, quiet!" When it finally quieted down, he finally pointed at the people in the middle of the plaza and said: "Since you have already committed yourselves to leader Duan Mu, yet you made use of the fire at the palace to try and escape. Through this, it can be seen that you cannot work with the great leader to handle the trials and tribulations. What use are people like this? Today, this general has received an order from the great leader. Propagate the might of the northern provinces and behead all of the deserters!"
An uproar broke out from the crowd once more.
"There are so many people. He said that they will be beheaded?"
"Impossible. At most, one or two will be killed to keep up appearances. Three will be killed at most. Look, there are at least 50 people that tried to escape. How could they all be killed?"
"That's right! I heard that there were at least 60 officials that came North to celebrate Duan Mu An Guo's birthday. Adding in their families, that is at least 200 people!"
"Guys, say, if these people really are killed, what sort of outcome will we suffer?"
This sort of discussion was omnipresent. The bearded man heard it very clearly; however, he did not care. He just continued in a loud voice: "If this general said behead, that means behead. Not a single one will be left alive! Lord Duan Mu said that the people that had come to seek help from him, the North definitely will not mistreat you. But if you are lacking in resolution and want to run away some panic, do not blame the North for lacking in mercy!"
After he finished speaking, he gestured to the executioners that had already arrived in the plaza long ago. The fiends carrying swords immediately started walking toward the middle of the plaza in large strides.
All of the observing officials inhaled sharply. The cold light radiating off of the blades held by the executioners told them that this was all real.
The madams and young misses had already closed their eyes. Some of the more frightened ones were paralyzed on the ground, while a man muttered: "This is practically just a slaughtering ground."
These words had given voice to what everyone was thinking, including Feng Yu Heng.
She and Ban Zou were standing in the crowd. In this crowd, there were officials and normal civilians, but they did not pay attention to the two. Ban Zou lowered his head and quietly said to Feng Yu Heng: "Duan Mu An Guo is doing this for real. Do we save them?"
Feng Yu Heng frowned, "How can they be saved? Two fists will struggle to beat four hands. Even a hero will struggle when there are many people. Based on the two of us, will we get these 40-odd people out from under the noses of the North's generals and soldiers? Moreover, even if they are brought away, where can they be brought to?" She felt an irritation surface in her heart. Looking again at the middle of the plaza, the executioner had already put the necks of the officials in place. The sounds of their cries and pleas filled the air. This sort of feeling was far more frightening than when she was in the palace and setting fires.
When she had started those fires, she had chosen buildings with nobody in them. Even if someone was burned to death, they were Duan Mu An Guo's guards or retainers that helped him mistreat others. But now, even if these officials were guilty, their family members were innocent. For her to watch on as these people were executed, that was something that she could not do.
But if she did not watch on, what else could she do at this time?
Feng Yu Heng was thinking rapidly. She knew that the best method of delaying or stopping this execution was to cause another mess at this location.
The bearded general seemed to greatly enjoy the looks of horror. He even smiled at a girl that was about to faint. Feng Yu Heng asked Ban Zou: "Say, if I killed the bearded guy, will this matter slow down?" While she spoke, she moved her right hand into her space, and she was in the middle of deciding between a handgun and a tranquilizer gun.
But at this time, a gong suddenly rang out from behind. It shook the skies and caused everyone's heart to tremble. Even Feng Yu Heng and Ban Zou were shocked.
She was extremely shocked and subconsciously turned back to look; however, her wrist was grabbed by Ban Zou, who then quietly said: "Don't look back. That gong just now was clearly struck by someone using internal strength. Look at everyone else."
Only then did Feng Yu Heng notice that everyone at her side had frozen in place following that gong. All of them looked to be suffering; however, their eyes were a little dazed. It was as though their bodies had become rigid and incapable of movement.
"If we look back now, we will stand out too much." Ban Zou said quietly: "Watch the crowd. Whenever they can move, we will also begin moving."
Fortunately, this sort of situation did not continue for too long. Feng Yu Heng counted, and it was no more than eight seconds before people slowly began to recover. Everyone then looked back with horror in their faces. This included the executioner and the bearded man, who also turned toward the back, delaying the execution for the time being.
Only then did Feng Yu Heng and Ban Zou turn back to see an extremely large carriage slowly coming in their direction. Perhaps it was because it traveled on the road, but the driver of the carriage controlled the speed of the horses. They were practically strolling over, but even if they were strolling over, the steps were filled with power. A crunching sound came with each step in the snow.
This large carriage was pulled by five horses and needed two more horses than Xuan Tian Ming's imperial carriage. The body of the carriage was very unique. It was not made of wood, as it was clear. It seemed to be made of crystal, but after closer inspection, it was not crystal. Rather, it was a type of extremely hard ice.
Outside the carriage, there were two girls in white robes. With bamboo hats on their heads, they each held lotus flower ice lanterns. The curtains of the carriage would occasionally shift slightly with the blowing wind. The person sitting inside could faintly be seen wearing red robes.
"The horses look strange." Feng Yu Heng squinted her eyes and looked over. No matter how she thought, she could not think it through. Why did this horse not look like a horse? Rather, it seemed to have the eyes of a wolf?
Ban Zou told her: "That is a species unique to Qian Zhou. Apparently, it's the result of a child between a hunting horse and a white wolf. It is very suited to surviving in the icy North. In fact, it can even bring someone over a mountain and will not slide down."
Her desire for knowledge was renewed once more, "A horse can be bred with a wolf? And this thing will be the result?" Feng Yu Heng's mind was in disorder.
Ban Zou, however, told her the reality: "Qian Zhou relies on these horses and their ice-cold world to remain in power without collapsing for so many years. That's why Da Shun has not wanted to try and touch them for so long. I heard that back when the ancestral emperor was alive, after conquering the three northern provinces, taking over Qian Zhou would not have been a problem at all, based on military strategies. But once they passed through Jiang Zhou, it was already so cold that the people of Da Shun could not survive at all. Not to mention the soldiers, even the warhorses were frozen solid. The ancestral emperor also led his people to push forward, but in the end, they were chased away by the people of Qian Zhou riding their wolf horses."
Feng Yu Heng took a deep breath and was feeling uncertain. She had never been to Qian Zhou. Based on her impression, if it was based on a map, Qian Zhou should be within Russia's border. But in reality, it might not be that far. After all, the countries of this era could not compare tot he countries of the modern world. It was not that large. In fact, the people of Qian Zhou spoke the same language as the people of Da Shun. Xuan Tian Ming once said that on this content, everyone spoke the same language. Many years ago, he had once met someone that was not from this continent. Thus what that person said was not something that anyone could understand. In the end, they needed to rely on pictures to understand where he had come from.
If she thought about it like this, if Qian Zhou was also in Asian territory, it should not be that cold. For warhorses to be frozen solid, just how cold would it need to be? Did Asia have a place like that?
"What is it?" Ban Zou saw that she was in a daze and could not help but ask.
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, saying: "It's nothing. I was just wondering why Qian Zhou was so cold." It seemed that this was not the Da Shun country that was a part of 5000 years of history. Even the geography of the area was different. She could no longer use her modern knowledge to infer things.
At this time, the ice carriage being pulled by the five wolf horses arrived before them. The people standing at the sides immediately moved away to open up a path; however, the ice carriage did not continue any further. It stopped very quickly, and the two girls holding lotus flower ice lanterns lifted them, and one of them asked in a loud voice: "What happened up ahead?"
This voice was clearly asked using internal strength. The bearded man heard this from quite a distance away. He was given a shock, as he quickly ran forward.
Wolf horses and an ice carriage, just based on these two things alone, he knew that the people that had come were from Qian Zhou's imperial family. Only people of the imperial family were noble enough to sit in a carriage drawn by wolf horses; moreover, there were five wolf horses.
He arrived in front of the ice carriage and immediately bowed respectfully. At the same time, he replied, saying: "This lowly one received an order from lord Duan Mu and was about to execute the officials that had come from Da Shun to celebrate a birthday but used a fire to try and escape." While he spoke, he glanced at the ice lanterns being held by the two girls. Once the two lotus flowers entered his vision, he immediately trembled. He had been standing at first, but he immediately kneeled. At the same time, he kowtowed on the snowy ground, saying in a loud voice: "This subordinate greets your Highness Prince Lian! Long live your Highness!"
TN: The lotus flower in Chinese is lian hua. That's why beardy mcbeardface recognizes that it's prince Lian from seeing a lotus flower ice lantern.

Situated as it is smack-dab in the middle of Indiana's stone belt, Indiana University is naturally a limestone-rich campus. Today on a short walk, I snapped several photos of fossils sitting right out in the daylight, in the stones comprising walls along our lovely arboretum. They're probably unnoticed by the vast majority of passersby with their eyeballs glued to the little glowing screens in their hands. Though I must concede that these photos are thanks to my recent upgrading to a new phone: I now have a great camera on me at all times.
This is all Mississippian limestone, therefore composed mostly of fragments of corals, crinoids, blastoids, and brachiopods. Glorious.

Happy Tuesday!
Today was another productive day, at work and at home. I actually got everything unpacked, both the fiance & I. The only other thing I need to do now is take pictures of things I bought while on the cruise and put them away.
Today I'm sharing the nails I sported while on the cruise. I got the idea off of Pinterest(of course) and have been wanting to do it for quite some time now but never found a good occasion to do them like that.
The accent nail was actually fairly easy to do, it just took some time. The chevron was easy, the trick I found my useful is to lightly drag your brush in a zig zag motion. The anchor was also easy once you get use to the nail art brush. I used the nail art kit I got from Ulta some time ago. In there is a small brush.
I used Julie G's Cruise Collection nail polish (how fitting!)
Left is Miami Beach and right is Tahiti (my only compliant is that the Tahiti stained my nails once I took it off, but no biggie)
I also used OPI's Alpine Snow & My Favorite Ornament (2013 Christmas Collection)
If you can get your hands on OPI's My Favorite Ornament I highly suggest you do. It's my favorite gold glitter polish because it really covers your entire nail bed with just two coats of the polish, without any base coat too!
I also did my toenails in the same design. It was just a fun nail art to do that I typically can't do at my office job.
Just a couple of photos I took on my phone before we departed.
This was from the Pier in New York City. Last year I didn't get to experience seeing the whole boat because other boats were ported. Norwegian Gem was the only boat ported that day!
It was sunny and 80 degrees in New York on Saturday. As you can see people were already in the pools! Last year when we disembarked it was raining and cold so it was a completely different experience for us this year.
Here I was relaxing on the lounge chairs waiting to disembark New York. As you can tell I did my toes in the same design. :)
I also got this souvenir Norwegian "Fish Bowl". On the whole drink it says "Norwegians drink out of bowls" It was just a fun idea.
Have a great night!

Evangelicals, Catholics Commemorate World Refugee Day
World Relief and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) are commemorating World Refugee Day on Wednesday to call attention to the plight of refugees around the world.
"This is a day when the world needs to stop, reflect on our fellow human beings and what they have been through, and commit to learning more about them and extend a hand to just one," Dan Kosten, senior vice president of U.S. Programs at World Relief, told The Christian Post Tuesday.
"It is a day to give honor to the strength, courage, and living hope exemplified by refugees both here in this country and around the world."
World Relief, which was founded by the National Association of Evangelicals, will commemorate the occasion by co-sponsoring an event in Washington, D.C. called, "A Celebration of Representative Payne's Legacy." Congressman Donald Payne (D-N.J.), who passed away this March, was an advocate for refugees while serving in Congress.
The United Nations established June 20 as World Refugee Day to honor those who flee their homelands under threat of violence or persecution. Currently, 15.2 million refugees worldwide have fled their country. In 2011 alone, 800,000 were added to their number – a record for this century, according to Kevin Appleby, director of the USCCB office of Migration Policy and Public Affairs.
Anastasia Brown, director of USCCB Resettlement Services, Migration and Refugee Services, noted there are currently 800,000 refugees in need of resettlement. The United States takes in more refugees than any other nation, Brown said at the USCCB press event Tuesday, but resettlements still fall short of the needs.
There is currently a cap, set by the president, of 80,000 refugees per year that can be resettled in the United States. But resettlements have fallen short of that due to complications with security clearances.
Refugees are required to undergo up to five different security clearances, Brown explained. These clearances are with different agencies and have different expiration dates. Sometimes refugees may have one security clearance expire before they have had time to finish the other required clearances.
From 2010 to 2011, when new security clearances were put into place, the number of refugees entering the United States dropped from 73,000 to 56,000, even though the cap remained at 80,000. There is not a lack of people in the process, Brown said, the problem is getting them through the process.
Brown wants strong security measures in place, but believes the process should be streamlined. She would like to see a coordinator of refugee programs within the White House to help the various agencies work together on the process, and to combine all the different security clearances into one.
Actress Angelina Jolie is special envoy of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. She narrates a public service announcement for World Refugee Day here.

Like any such collection, there's not much rhyme or reason behind the tracklisting, aside from the roughly chronological order. What does render the compilation somewhat coherent is its most obvious factor: Pinch. A master producer, he possesses a gift for percussion—some of the heaviest but also most nimble in the dubstep sphere—a skill which allowed him to create both tracks like the stirring "Qawwali" (here in its VIP form) and the frantic "Attack of the Giant Killer Robot Spiders." No matter what he's experimenting with, it always sounds like him—one or two extra drums squeezed into each bar, or at least it feels that way.
The LP contains a few surprises, including excellent remixes of 30Hz and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the latter of which is a wonderfully restrained 115 BPM crawl underlining the unusual meditativeness of Ellis' steadily repetitive rhythms. There are other tracks that are forgotten gems in the Pinch catalogue, like the atmospheric lurch of "Cave Dream." Even better, tucked away on track 99 is "Deserted Island," reportedly Pinch's first-ever dubstep production. It's a hesitant track that lacks some of the detail of his later work, but still sounds recognizable with its slow-burn chord progression, a neat little look at his origins.
MIA suffers from a few baffling omissions. 2010's "Croydon House," an early defining release for Swamp81, was a more recent highlight for Ellis and one that signaled he could do more than just traditional dubstep—but instead of the flagship cut we get its (still solid) flipside "Elements." This compilation also presented an opportunity to shed light on even more lesser-known material, such as his work with Pavel Ambiont. It may have been better served by simply collecting every track that Pinch had released on other labels into a bigger package; after all, it's not as if a second disc would have interrupted any cohesion.
But those are rather privileged complaints for a disc that rounds up some hard-to-find or out of print rarities and puts them in one simple, digitally-available package. It's one of those things that you don't really know you need until you have it; and though you'll still have to go hunting for old Punch Drunk and Swamp81 to really get the best of Ellis' career, this isn't a bad place to start. MIA is a perfectly decent way to re-investigate the history of one of dubstep's originators, and likely discover some new favourites in the process.

The Central Connecticut softball team has been slated to finish third in the Northeast Conference by the 2013 NEC Coaches' Poll. Third is CCSU's highest NEC preseason ranking in program history.
Last season, the Blue Devils finished conference play in fifth overall. Despite narrowly missing an NEC tournament berth, the 2012 squad boasted a record-breaking season, accumulating 31 wins, the most in a single season in program history.
"Being picked third in the NEC preseason poll is great because it shows that we have gained the respect of our peers in the NEC," Head Coach Jeff Franquet said, "however our primary goal this season is to make it to the NEC Tournament and work toward winning our first conference championship."
The 2012 season-win record surpasses the previous record of 29, set by Franquet's 2011 squad in his second season at the helm of the Blue Devils. The 2011 team finished fourth overall in the NEC and was the first to make a tournament appearance.
This season, the Blue Devils return two NEC All-Conference Second Team honorees, senior first baseman Nicole Springer and sophomore pitcher Laura Messina.
Messina, who set four single season pitching records in 2012, including most appearances (35), most innings pitched (219.2), most wins (22) and most strikeouts (207), is also a two-time 2012 NEC Pitcher of the Week and a two-time 2012 NEC Rookie of the Week. Her 207 strikeouts place Messina third all-time in career pitching records after her freshman season. She also ranks third in shutouts (seven) in the all-time career pitching records.
At the plate, Springer had her own impressive season boasting a .319 batting average, smacking 10 homeruns and driving in 45 RBI for single-season highs in both categories. Her 10 homeruns ties classmate Kelsey Barlow's record set in 2010.
CCSU also returns two 2012 NEC Players of the Week, juniors Arielle Bruno and Tessa Brown. Bruno posted a .312 batting average in 2012 while besting the team in hits (54) and runs (38). Brown finished first on the team in doubles with 11 while also earning a .293 batting average.
The NEC preseason rankings are as follows:
1. Robert Morris
2. LIU Brooklyn
3. Central Connecticut
4. Monmouth
5. Bryant
6. Quinnipiac
7. Sacred Heart
8. Saint Francis U
9. Mount St. Mary's
10. Wagner
11. Fairleigh Dickinson
The Blue Devils kick off the 2013 season March 1 at the Clearwater Softball Tournament hosted by the University of South Florida. Central will compete against Georgia State, Stephen F. Austin, Eastern Kentucky, University of Illinois-Chicago and Loyola Marymount in the tournament.

Spring into action for sick or injured wildlife
The weather is warming up, the birds are singing and there is a flurry of animal activity as spring approaches. As animals become more active around the neighbourhood, there's also an increased chance that you might come across one that needs your help.
Knowing what to do if you find sick or injured wildlife could help save an animal's life.
During spring, when birds are at their most active, you might come across baby birds that look abandoned, but aren't. These birds are called 'fledglings' and may sit on the ground while their parents are nearby, feeding.
In such cases, it's best to leave the fledgling alone and watch from a distance to keep an eye out for predators and see if the parents return. If they don't, call your local wildlife rescue organisation who will advise you on what to do, depending on the location and age of the bird.
Wild animals are different to domestic animals - they will likely become very stressed if handled, and can even die from the shock. That's why it's so important to handle them as little as possible, and avoid loud noises and movement.
If you come across an injured wild animal, the best way to handle it is to loosely wrap it in a towel and place it in a secure, ventilated box.
Though you might think the animal could be hungry, it's best not to attempt to feed it – leave that to the experts. Providing a small dish of shallow water within close reach of the animal is a good idea to prevent dehydration from occurring.
As soon as the animal is in a safe and secure place, it is important to contact your nearest veterinarian or wildlife rescue organisation. They'll be able to advise you on what to do next and will arrange for the animal to get appropriate treatment.
It's also important to be aware that wildlife, despite being injured, may be able to scratch and bite to defend themselves against a perceived threat. It's therefore essential that, if they must be handled, this is done with caution to avoid being injured yourself!
Ideally, this means wearing gloves and clothing that covers the body, while being mindful of keeping your face away from the injured animal during handling.
If encountering an animal that is potentially venomous or dangerous - such as a snake, flying fox, goanna or bat – it is advisable not to try to handle them and to call a wildlife rescue organisation for assistance.
Keeping a 'wildlife rescue kit' in the back of the car or at home is an easy way of making sure you have everything on hand to act quickly if an injured animal needs you.
This kit could include a cardboard box with ventilation holes, a pair of gloves, a towel, a shallow dish and a list of numbers for local wildlife organisations and carers.

Wildlife are an important part of our surroundings and live peacefully in our midst, but sometimes need a little bit of help. We can all take the time to lend a hand to wildlife in need.

Outpatient drug formulary
On Sept. 1, 2011, BWC implemented the outpatient medication formulary rule for the pharmacy program. The formulary contains a list of drugs that we will cover when prescribed for allowed conditions in an approved claim. The Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee maintains the list, and regularly reviews and updates it. Drugs not previously reviewed by the committee and listed in the formulary are not eligible for coverage by BWC. However, any physician can request the committee to review a drug for addition to the formulary. Use the Formulary Medication Request Form (MEDCO-35).
Send questions or comments about the outpatient medication formulary, the outpatient medication prior authorization program or other related matters by calling 1-877-543-6446 or emailing the pharmacy benefits department.
The Drug formulary look-up is a tool to look up coverage for a specific drug. Enter a partial or complete drug name, and then click search.
If you prefer, click on the link below to download a copy of the complete formulary. Search for specific drugs by using the Ctrl+F function on your keyboard. On the line beside the individual drugs, you'll see any restrictions or limitations on coverage.
The first fill drug list contains covered products to treat medical conditions identified in a pending workers' compensation claim. The first fill program is limited to the first fill of prescription drugs that occur prior to the date we issue an initial claim determination order.
Prior authorization
We require prior authorization for certain drugs not typically used to treat work-related injuries or illnesses when a condition is not allowed in the claim that supports the Federal Drug Administration's (FDA's) approved uses of that prescribed drug. The prescribing physician must complete the Request for Prior Authorization of Medication (MEDCO-31) to document the relationship between the prescribed drug(s) and the allowed condition(s) in an injured worker's claim.
We require prior authorization for all medications in medical-only claims beyond 60 days from the date of injury and for all claims beyond 270 days of last paid prescription. Pending surgery, a physician can submit a MEDCO-31 to request pain medication or other post-surgically related medications subsequent to the MCO approval yet prior to the surgery date. The surgery date must be included on the MEDCO-31 for consideration. A medication request of this type would be limited to a 30-day fill.

It's about time, the 8 year max sentence was part of the plea deal. We San Mateo County residents can learn from this and we can do better at protecting the children in our County.
Get involved, lets investigate how this was allowed to happen so many years after being reported by so many boys, parents, and mandated reporters.
I'm glad the victims and family members were finally able to speak to William H. Ayres.

Whoever attended the hearing yesterday got it wrong. Not only did Ayres flinch, but he pitched a fit when four guards tried to wheel him away. He was very agitated and raised his voice.
I thought it was interesting that Ayres' wife talked about Ayres working with the DA's office on cases. She said that she thought the DA pursued the case against her husband because the DA was mad that sometimes he recommended treatment instead of incarceration.

I was in the courtroom, and Ayres in many instances glared fiercely at whoever was speaking, in particular the mother of a victim who died many years ago.
Also, victim Thomas C is a psychologist, not a psychiatrist

Nice way to spend the autumn years of your life, in the lockup. He'll get out when he's 89. For a parallel case on the east coast where the perpetrator eventually committed suicide, google Dr. Mel Levine and molest.

The Ayres blog has a much more detailed and intelligent account of the sentencing than any of the press:

When the police started investigating Ayres in 2002, and then when a victim sued him for molestation in 2003, Ayres didn't want anyone to know that he had the first ever television sex ed series for kids, called " A Time of Your Life" on PBS. It was shown nationally and in the schools.
It was hugely controversial as it was very graphic. It pitted conservative parents against liberals. The conservative parents had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with Ayres.One couple was thrown into jail for keeping their child out of school on the days the school showed the sex ed series.
Back in the 1960s, Ayres accused the protesters as being uptight and members of the John Birch Society.
The parents who protested Ayres' sex ed series feel very vindicated now. One of them , Alice Vipiana, with her husband, attended the sentencing hearing on Monday, and a Marin paper did a story, with a photo of the parent with journalist/ advocate Victoria Balfour:

Love Spirals Downwards
American band
Love Spirals Downwards was an Ethereal/Dream Pop/Electronica recording act from California and one of the flagship bands of preeminent American Ethereal/Darkwave/Gothic independent record label, Projekt. Between 1991 and 1999, they released 4 full-length albums, 1 career retrospective, and 1 CD-single, selling in excess of 40,000 CDs [1]. They were also included on over 3 dozen various artist compilations, including the legendary Heavenly Voices series released by the German Darkwave label, Hyperium Records. Love Spirals Downwards were a staple band of the popular New Age/Ambient/Acoustic Public Radio International program, Echoes, including an intimate "living room concert" [2] and two interview features [3] [4] .
- Ryan Lum - guitar/bass guitar/keyboards/percussion/programming/production
- Suzanne Perry - singer/lyricist
Idylls (1992)Edit
- I begin again,
As the world outside ends.
Dense, even in the still light,
To owe you my life.
I tell you,
Make castles when you want to,
And fill them with sights.
Stir about the stars,
During nights below these tides.
- Wherebeth they biforen us weren,
And hadden feld and wode.
The wood comes into leaf,
Thou might and canst and owest shield.
Therein never havest owest then,
Maiden evermore.
Ardor (1994)Edit
- Will you fade now, should I let you?
Met with indifference, I remain.
So much depends now on this distance,
These things escape.
Well now I'm too dizzy,
I am out of myself.
Can you feel it?
Too much within yourself.
I grow dizzy.
- Your lips are conquerors,
Your lips are filled with lies.
Lost, lost in what seems,
That's how it should be.
Who, who is to see,
We write in water,
Ever (1996)Edit
- Sky's the same as it always was,
Nothing we do.
So hard to keep anything,
When you're expected to.
This is the time when water stops,
History dies with you.
Like rings of trees in sideways forest,
- Stretch stretching,
Far beyond this delta between we.
Dive, diving,
Deep beneath the surface suddenly.
All my thoughts are broken.
All the words are worn.
Can it just be spoken?
Can it just be warm?
Flux (1998)Edit
- City moon so soon,
You're the world to me.
Barely one,
Star which hung,
Sailing to the sea.
And yellow time is overhead,
Unchanging things imprinted.
Can it all be clear?
- I'd cross the ocean just to be there by your side.
I've felt the water as it's river flows to dry.
The night sky warms me, tell me should I close my eyes?
Those lights that blind me, say you, "Just you step inside."
Right by your side.
Right by your side.

- Meditereanea
- Originally released on From Across This Gray Land No. 3 (1991)
Ryan LumEdit
- I'm about as Gothic as Snoop Doggy Dog. I've never categorized myself nor my art as Gothic. I really don't understand where people get the idea that we are Gothic.
- S.O.M., Vol. 9 (1996)
- Projekt has been successful at marketing itself to goths. We're not gothic, nor are any of the bands that influence us. Whoever thinks that we or Slowdive or the Cocteau Twins are goth must have a funny idea of what goth is.
- Aether Sanctum, Issue 6: Complexity (1998)
- I really don't think we sound like them, to be completely honest. I'm not in denial or self-deception, it's my honest belief that if you listen to our music, we don't sound like the Cocteau Twins.
- Raygun Magazine (June/July 1992)
- It's hard to think of a band name; we had to think of one rather quickly to send our demo tape out. We should have just sent it as Ryan and Suzanne! Anyway, our choice of band name didn't follow from our wanting to associate ourselves with the drug.
- KUCI 88.9 fm Program Guide (Winter 1997)
- On the whether or not they intended their band name to refer to the drug L.S.D.
- We weren't trying to be a band, so we were shocked and surprised when there was any response at all. We mailed out the tape to three companies: 4AD, Creation, and Projekt - who we didn't know about, we heard of it through a friend of a friend. Sam wrote us back a letter of interest. He didn't say he would sign us or anything, but he wanted to hear more stuff.
- The Ninth Wave: A Journal of Nocturnal Culture #5 (May 1995)
- On being signed to Projekt Records by owner, Sam Rosenthal, in 1991
- Why did we even send it out? I guess I was recording another band here and they were making a tape to send out places, so we figured, 'Hey, we can do that!'
- Tear Down the Sky (June 1994)
- On sending their demo out to labels in the summer of 1991
- It's been an important pursuit of mine, but I never had any intention of pursuing music as a sort of career, on a 'professional' level. I just always made music for myself. It made me happy. I'd been doing that for years, until Suzanne came into the picture.
- Fond Affexxions Version 1.2 (Indian Summer 1993)
- We were boyfriend/girlfriend for maybe a year or two before I had her sing on my music. I knew her two years and I never knew she sang that well!
- Carpe Noctem Vol. 2, Issue 2 (1995)
- The way we write, we have to do it at home. We don't make up 10 or 11 songs and say, 'Okay! Time to go to the studio and record all the songs!' I'll have some rough sounds or ideas and I'll record them down on tape or into the sampler, and from there I'll start getting more ideas. It will build from what I previously recorded. That would be a very costly, practically impossible, thing to do in the studio. We would be racking up the kind of budget like Sgt. Pepper's or something!
- The Daily Freeman (November 29, 1996)
- I'll come up with some chord sequences that I like on acoustic guitar and build from there. After that, it's all very intuitive. An idea comes in the studio and it's recorded right then.
- The Muse: The Journal of Women and Music (February/March 1995)
- It's really weird to have these songs - some on Idylls have been out for years - and going back and playing them now. The only time they existed is us recording them -- we never rehearsed the songs once in our lives. I'm not kidding.
- Ink Spots #19 (April 1995)
- On preparing for their first live performance
- I've learned, after playing a few shows, that live is about getting this kind of energy going or magic power happening!
- Mean Street Vol. 8, #4 (1996)
- More of a spiritual experience. Some kind of musical listening experience that guides you in a higher direction. Not higher like taking drugs, but lifting them up a little bit, engaging their spiritual dimension.
- The Daily Freeman (November 29, 1996)
- On what he expects the listener to get from his music
- It's sort of a funny fallacy that most people seem to insist upon everything in the world having meaning. What is the meaning of a sunset? What's wrong with simply experiencing it? Likewise, our art exists without demanding that it has some higher or more important existence apart from the experience of it.
- The Projekt Festival Guide (August 1997)
- Oh I don't know what Suzanne is singing about. She just uses words that sound good. There's no storytelling or anything like that you are supposed to get.... Asking her to write a real story or poetry would be almost a foreign concept.
- S.O.M., Vol. 9 (1996)
- In some ways, I don't want to date it. I don't want to have to listen to songs and think back and say, 'Oh, that's when I was going through that. That's a bummer. That was 1994.'
- The Muse: The Journal of Women and Music (February/March 1995)
- On the use of nonsense lyrics in their music
- In junior high and early high school I had maybe three or four years of guitar training, but I didn't really learn anything after the first year or so. I don't know why I kept going.
- Carpe Noctem Vol. 2, Issue 2 (1995)
- We're not a big musicianship kind of band. It's important, but we're not Yes or something like that. We play what we gotta play to make the music sound right. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's a little difficult. The most important thing is that we play it right.
- Acoustic Guitar, Vol. 7, No. 9, Issue 51 (March 1997)
- All of my other albums I really cringe at listening to. Actually, it's kinda sad; Flux is the first one now where it's like, 'I finally did it right!'
- Outburn Magazine, No. 8 (1999)
- I'm a firm believer of always trying different things, trying to push myself, not falling back into what I did before - even if it was successful. I get bored, and I feel as if I've cheated myself, too, if don't push myself to do something new.
- Losing Today (September 1999)
- Where we are now is pretty much what I have expected. I never wanted to try to become a huge band like Nirvana. I'm happy with where we are at.
- Aether Sanctum, Issue 6: Complexity (1998)
Suzanne PerryEdit
- He had a couple other singers before, like he was trying my sister out. It's funny because I was in London at the time going to school, and he was sending me tapes with my sister on it, and I thought, 'I can sing that. In fact, I can sing that better!'
- Altered Mind #12 (September 1992)
- We just decided to fool around with doing music, but actually Ryan resisted me singing on his music for awhile because he thought it would cause problems in our relationship.
- Carpe Noctem Vol. 2, Issue 2 (1995)
- The first song we ever made was "Forgo," which is on Idylls. I had never written a song before. I just got in there and started humming in the microphone and that's how it happened. And we listened to it and we thought, 'Hey, that's not too bad!' And then we just made a couple more and just sent them out.
- Ink Spots #19 (April 1995)
- What it was, was that we were coming to the end of the summer and we had set ourselves a deadline. We did 3 songs and sent them out to 3 places and figured if no one called us on it, we'd just keep making music.
- Tear Down the Sky (June 1994)
- We had to scramble to make more songs for Sam to listen to. I call us a 'Made to Order' band; we write only what is required.
- The Ninth Wave: A Journal of Nocturnal Culture #5 (May 1995)
- On being signed to Projekt Records by owner, Sam Rosenthal, in 1991
- I don't see myself as an artist or as a musician. I don't think about it as part of my identity... My music is something where I walk in and do it, and it's not something I think about in my everyday life. I don't dwell on it, or think, 'This or that will be a great part for a song!' When I'm in the studio, it's sacred, but I don't carry that artist persona around with me at all.
- Carpe Noctem Vol. 2, Issue 2 (1995)
- I've gotten conditioned to only do it in there. I have to have the microphone on and we make the songs up as we're recording. It's like going to church and you have this experience.
- B Sides Magazine #51 (July/August 1995)
- On her songwriting process using the band's home studio
- As far as vocals go, I'll usually listen to a completed - or near completed - instrumental and just start humming some catchy notes into the microphone, find some that I like, then do a rough recording of them and see how they sound. If I wait a day or two and see if the notes stick to me, I'll sometimes try to write some words or phoentics to them.
- Carpe Noctem Vol. 2, Issue 2 (1995)
- Some of them are in English, and they make some sense, and some are in English and they make no sense. And there are others that are in a "make-believe" Italian, and then there's a kind of "make-believe" Latin, but I don't know Latin or Italian. And there's some French too... and some Indian, too, make-believe Indian. Most of it doesn't make any sense. Some of the new stuff actually does have a little meaning. Still, even if it does, I don't pronounce it well enough so that you can tell. When I'm singing it, I'm not concerned with pronouncing it so that you could understand it. I guess its not meant to be understood.
- Fond Affexxions Version 1.2 (Indian Summer 1993)
- On her lyrical content
- I'm not really sure what prompted me to do that. I have a couple theories about it, though. The first theory is that I don't know how to write lyrics, so that's the only thing I think I could come up with - the only thing I could produce. The other theory is that I like doing it.
- The Requiem, Vol. 6 Pg. 50 (Winter 1995)
- It's a lot harder for me to write words that are personal than to write nonsense lyrics because I'm getting into things that I reveal about myself. I don't know how comfortable I feel with expressing myself in that way or putting that into music.
- The Muse: The Journal of Women and Music (February/March 1995)
- I guess I don't have a lot of confidence in my ability to write. I don't necessarily think it's my gift. I'm not bad, but that's not the means by which I express myself. And I don't know how much I want to reveal of myself, like the really personal stuff.
- The Ninth Wave: A Journal of Nocturnal Culture #5 (May 1995)
- I compartmentalize my music. It's something I do as a hobby and a side thing, and I don't really mix it with my life. Even my everyday emotions I don't think I mix with it. But every so often, I think it seeps in. It's interesting, because it truthfully makes me uncomfortable. In some ways, I think it's kind of sappy and too expressionist to put your life in your music like that.
- KUCI 88.9 fm Program Guide (Winter 1997)
- I don't think I could just sit and do only music, it wouldn't be enough. I'm not ready to quit and do music now. I wouldn't quit Psychology.
- Danse Macabre (1993)
- For a long time I felt that we hid behind the effects.
- The Requiem, Vol. 6 Pg. 50 (Winter 1994)
- For me, making a more electronic sounding records was lazier. There's a lot fewer lyrics and there's a lot more repetition. I feel like I cheated.
- Fix, #24 (1998)
About Love Spirals DownwardsEdit
- It is an arguable fact that there are three bands whose names are synonymous with the world-renowned Projekt label: Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Lycia and Love Spirals Downwards.
- Haydn, Aether Sanctum Issue 6: Complexity (1998)
- LSD just might be the burgeoning leader of another full-on ethereal rock revival.
- M. Tye Comer, Ever Review, College Music Journal (1996)
- Out of all the chosen representatives of this genre, Love Spirals Downwards is the most acceptable to general audiences. Dare we call it 'pop ethereal'?
- Carlos Dengler Many Faces of Ethereal' Morbid Outlook (1999)
- Make no mistake, Love Spirals Downwards stand alone as a landmark to ethereal and madrigal greatness.
- Pat Mannion, Dewdrops, #14 (Summer 1995)
- Love Spirals Downward[s] shares a psychedelic code with the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and a musical code with groups like the Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance.
- John Diliberto Echoes Radio Echoes Reccomends: CDs (2000)
- Suzanne's voice could lull a King's Army into blissful dreamscapes, thereby calming war torn battlefields'

Are you sick of the rampaging masses at the malls on Black Friday? Are you sick of the idea of spending more "quality time" with the family? Does it feel like you put on 20 pounds overnight because of gluttonous eating? Then come on down for the 2nd Annual ALL DAY AFTER TURKEY DAY ROLL!!!
By ALL DAY, we mean ALL DAY. Come in when you want, leave when you want. You can even come in, roll, leave, and come back again later. Those of you brave (or crazy) enough can stay ALL DAY. You can grab meals at the nearby eateries, recover, and train some more. That's what a few of us plan on doing. Why? Because we have no lives…Errr…I mean, because we LOVE Jiu-Jitsu. Yeah, that's it.
So, come on down and roll. Roll until your heart's content or it actually gives out. Whichever one comes first. Be there or be square. Just like the pegs that some of you keep trying to put into the round holes.
Date: Friday, November 25, 2011 from 10:30am to 9:00pm
We will also be holding a class that day lead by Rosendo Diaz from 12pm to 1pm. Catch you there!

Guitarz lately. I'm not sure quite how well the above-pictured handmade Ovation Breadwinner-inspired guitar functions ergonomically, but it looks as if it has been designed along the lines of such an instrument. It would probably need the area beneath the right forearm area to be higher.
The seller doesn't tell us a great deal about it; the body is ash, the set neck is mahogany and it has a Strat-like singlecoil in the neck pickup position and an Epiphone humbucker at the bridge. Oh, and it was built by the seller's mate Tony from the Swamp Rats.

Mars remains an evening object. It is low in the southwest at dusk. Saturn is now in the west-southwest at dusk for one more month. By month's end, it sets just after twilight ends.
Jupiter emerges higher into the morning sky this month. Look for it high in the south at dawn; it outshines all stars in that direction. Venus remains high in the east at dawn, continuing a spectacular morning apparition.
The Big Dipper is to the lower left of the North Star at dusk, with its handle pointing up and to the left. From that handle, you can 'arc to Arcturus', which is in the west at dusk.
This star map shows the Houston sky at 10 p.m. CDT on Sept. 1, 9 p.m. CDT on Sept. 15, and at dusk on Sept. 30. To use the map, put the direction you're facing at the bottom.
Antares, the brightest star of Scorpius the Scorpion, is in the southwest, with the 'teapot' of Sagittarius behind it. The Summer Triangle approaches the zenith (overhead point). Pegasus, with its distinctive Great Square, has risen in the east.
Moon Phases in September 2012:
Last Quarter September 8, 8:15 am
New September 15, 9:09 pm
1st Quarter September 22, 2:41 pm
Full September 29, 10:17 pm
At 9:47 a.m. on Saturday, September 22, the Sun is directly overhead at the equator, shifting towards the south. This, then, marks the autumnal (fall) equinox. On this date, everyone on Earth has the same amount of daytime and nighttime. Ever since the spring equinox in March, daytime has been longer than night for us in the Northern Hemisphere, while the reverse has been true in the Southern Hemisphere. After September 22, night is longer than day for us and the day is longer than the night below the equator.
The Full Moon of Saturday, September 29 is the Full Moon closest to the autumnal (fall) equinox. This, therefore, is the Harvest Moon. The angle between the ecliptic — the plane on which the Sun, Moon, and all planets appear — and the horizon is always shallowest near the fall equinox. As a result, moons near full phase at this time of year rise at almost the same time each night for a few days in a row. Farmers used this light to keep working their fields long into the night at harvest time.
On most clear Saturday nights at the George Observatory, you can hear me do live star tours on the observation deck with a green laser pointer. If you're there, listen for my announcement.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (AP) — The harrowing images from New York's slice of the massive snowstorm — people stranded overnight, cars abandoned on long stretches of drift-covered highways — were slowly erased Sunday on the far reaches of Long Island, where hundreds of snowplows and heavy equipment descended on a region battered by storm again and to try to help clear the way for Monday's commute.
Hundreds of plow trucks slogged through the roadways of eastern Long Island on Sunday, making pass after pass on snow-, ice- and sometimes car-clogged roads. Utility workers tried to restore power to just under 2,400 customers still without it, down from a peak of almost 50,000 customers. And that's close to fulfilling pledges made by utility executives that nobody would be in the dark more than a day — a far cry from Superstorm Sandy, when hundreds of thousands were without power for days.
Parts of eastern Long Island were slammed with 30 inches of snow from the storm. Hundreds of cars got stuck on area roads including the Long Island Expressway, a 27-mile stretch of which was closed Sunday for snow-removal work. It was slow going, and even by early afternoon, snow was still packed on some highways.
Suffolk County Executive Steven Bellone said the goal was to have most major highways cleared down to asphalt by the end of Sunday.
More than a third of all the state's snow-removal equipment was sent to the area, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, including more than 400 plow trucks and more than 100 snowblowers, loaders and backhoes.
"The massive amount of snow left behind effectively shut down the entire region," he said.
The expressway was shut down Sunday morning and initially was expected to re-open at 5 p.m., but authorities pushed that to 9 p.m. for the stretch between exits 57 and 73. The snow-removal trucks had to deal with not only inches and inches of snow, but a layer of ice. They also had to maneuver around abandoned cars.
On Sunrise Highway, which runs parallel to the Long Island Expressway, Dennis Lawrence, of Bellport, N.Y., had already spent 90 minutes digging out the car he had abandoned and had at least another 30-60 minutes to go. He left it there Friday after getting stuck on his way home from his job in New York City.
"The car was all over the place, it just slid over and wouldn't move," the 54-year-old elevator mechanic said. "I finally decided today to come and get it."
In addition to the snow from the storm, his car had gotten buried from snow displaced by passing plow trucks. Meanwhile, the roadway surface was still covered in inches of snow, only occasional spots of blacktop visible.
All known abandoned vehicles were searched, and no one needing medical help was found, a police spokeswoman for Suffolk County said Sunday.
The glut of stalled cars led to questions over whether officials should have closed roads, as happened in other states.
"Of course, after any storm, we'll re-examine our procedures, but it's largely Monday-morning quarterbacking" to criticize roads not being closed sooner, Bellone said.
He said officials had to deal with unique circumstances, given the sheer amount of snow that fell and that it started falling sooner than expected.
"The reality is people wanted to get home," he said. "The storm happened at the worst time."
It wasn't just the roads that were impacted. Cleanup was under way on the area's commuter rails, the Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North Railroad.
Service was restored on two of Metro-North's three lines, said Salvatore Arena, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the railroad. Service on the third line, which runs between New York City and New Haven, Conn., was still out north of Stamford, Conn. On the LIRR, service was mostly restored, except on the eastern parts of Long Island.
"A lot of progress has been made," Arena said.
He said the agency would have a better sense Sunday evening of what the Monday morning commute would be like, but added, "We're certainly hopeful for providing more service for Monday morning."
Bellone said Suffolk County's school districts would individually decide whether to open or close. Newsday reported Sunday afternoon that nine districts had decided to close on Monday.
The Long Island Power Authority reported outages on Long Island had dwindled to about 2,400 customers by Sunday afternoon.
The rapid pace of restoration was a far cry from Superstorm Sandy in late October, but officials pointed out that the storms were different, as were the scale of the outages. Sandy left 1.1 million customers in the dark.
A spokeswoman for National Grid, which is handling the restoration work, said some things had been done differently to allow for as quick a restoration as possible, like getting workers from off of Long Island in place before the storm hit to be able to help out.
"That was a huge improvement in terms of restoration," Wendy Ladd said. She said 600 workers had been brought in from elsewhere to supplement the 400 workers on Long Island.
Matthew Cordaro, current chairman of the LIPA Oversight Committee for the Suffolk County Legislature, said there was no comparison between the weather events.
"Snow generally doesn't pose any significant threat to the system. So no, I'm not surprised at the outcome. I don't think they did exceptionally well for the nature of the storm — average at best," he said.
