Kihon is the practice of fundamental techniques: blocking, punching, striking, and kicking. A karateka may learn them in a matter of months, yet fail to master them after a life's worth of training. Hence, basic techniques demand regular practice, applied with as much concentration and effort as possible. According to the late Sensei Masatoshi Nakayama, karateka must practice kihon with the following in mind:
Form — Balance and stability are necessary to basic techniques. Karate movements involve shifting the body's center of gravity, which demands good balance and control of the body. In addition, the karateka requires stable joints, stances, and posture to deliver or withstand maximum impact in or from a blow.
Power and speed — The karateka who excels, does so by maximizing her muscular power through kime, the ability to concentrate the greatest amount of force at the point of attack or block. The karateka's power is directly related to the speed of her techniques, but speed is ineffective without proper control.
Concentration and relaxation of power — One cannot generate maximum power if punches or kicks rely solely on the muscles of the arms or legs. Power comes from concentrating all of one's strength, from every part of the body, on the target. The karateka must generate and use power efficiently, by staying relaxed and delivering maximum power only at the point of impact.
Strengthening muscle power — The karateka gives kihon effect with strong, elastic muscles, developed through constant, earnest training. The karateka must know which muscles to use in techniques.
Rhythm and timing — No technique takes place in isolation; in combining basic techniques, the karateka should pay attention to the rhythm of her techniques as well as the techniques themselves.
Hips — Proper use of the hips is a crucial part of executing karate techniques. Hip rotation or hip vibration adds power to blocks and punches, and it is essential to quick, stable transitions between stances. The hips play a key role in effective kicks as well.
Breathing — Coordinating breathing with techniques enhances one's ability to relax and maximize power in techniques. Exhaling when finishing a strike, for example, is necessary to developing kime.

After the flood comes mold
Betsy Anderson has experienced toxic mold and seen its harmful effects long after floodwater recedes.
The Kapaa resident of four years was fortunate to have been spared by recent floods, especially since she previously lost two homes and their belongings because of mold damage from similar wet-weather events.
"My family suffered permanent damage from toxic mold in our home in London," Anderson said. "Then we were living in Boulder when it flooded from a similarly unprecedented deluge in 2013."
She lost both of her homes and possessions due to unseen toxic mold in the crawlspace.
"When the floorboards were pulled up to investigate a small leak eight years ago, it let out a cloud of toxicity that affected my health, and I have never been the same since," Anderson said. "Two of my kids came down with immune illness over the next few years."
The health effects may not be immediately noticeable but can build up over time, she said.
"We were living in Boulder, Colorado when it experienced widespread flooding," Anderson said. "Our crawlspace flooded. Enough mold grew that our compromised immune systems could not tolerate it, and we again lost home and possessions."
Since then, she has watched people fall ill from unseen mold growing in water-damaged properties, including her doctor, Jill Carnahan, whose office developed hidden mold after the floods. The doctor worked to heal herself and is now considered a national expert.
"Mold is often referred to as a silent killer," Carnahan said, "because it causes low-level, chronic conditions which can go unnoticed for years
Homes can harbor toxic mold in addition to bacteria, volatile organic compounds and chemical residues from floodwater. According to Carnahan, complications resulting from bacteria exposure can include diarrhea, numerous types of infections, tetanus and flesh-eating vibrio.
"Bacteria like E. coli and others commonly found in floodwaters can be deadly," Carnahan said.
Mold starts to grow within 48 hours, so it is important to open all wet surfaces to dry and throw out things that have been wet too long, especially porous objects like drywall that provide prime habitat for mold growth.
After Erwin Pascual's home in a Koloa neighborhood on Aloha Place flooded April 15, cleanup began as soon as possible.
"We were able to salvage some stuff, some of my tools, some personal items. We didn't have a lot in there anyway," Pascual said. "We removed all the cabinetry, drywall, and things like appliances, bedding and clothes."
He opened up all the home's walls to prevent mold from accumulating, and prepare for renovation. The family did not have flood insurance, simply because it had become so expensive over the years.
"They jacked up the thing like four times within the past 10 years," Pascual said. "Eight years ago we were paying like $1,500 a year, then it went up to almost $6,000."
Others neighborhood residents also lost everything, from soggy carpets and damaged furniture to ruined appliances and flooded cars.
"We're in a flood zone, but we never had this kind of flooding before," he added.
The Federal Emergency Management Administration advises against using bleach to clean porous surfaces. Bleach causes mold to send out more microscopic toxins in defense, so it can come back even worse. Carnahan says it's better to use borax mixed with water, or products like Benefect or CitraSafe.
According to FEMA, bleach has drawbacks when cleaning flood-impacted buildings, with many types not EPA-registered as a disinfectant. Bleach's effectiveness in killing bacteria and mold is significantly reduced when it comes in contact with residual dirt often present in flooded homes. Also bleach water can cause corrosion with electrical components and other metal parts of mechanical systems.
"Following the recent catastrophic flooding here on Kauai, we've been fielding lots of questions about requirements for proper floodwater damage restoration," said Benjamin Owen, a Kauai resident and the president of Owen Environmental, who has restored numerous buildings impacted by water damage on the island.
Any porous building materials impacted by floodwater, including drywall, should be removed and replaced, according to Owen. Porous structural materials should be cleaned, dried and treated to prevent mold growth. Heating and drying of a wet building is not adequate to prevent microbial contamination. Drywall materials that remain wet for more than 48 hours may be susceptible to subsequent mold growth, even if they are cleaned and dried.
"Under no circumstances should non-structural porous building materials impacted by floodwaters be dried and retained," Owen said.
Water damage restoration and mold remediation are not governed by a regulatory framework. According to Owen, the flood restoration industry is governed by well-defined and widely accepted industry standards.
Anyone hiring a contractor to perform professional water damage restoration and/or mold remediation should be certain that their contractor is a competent, experienced professional with training and experience in performing the tasks in accordance with the most recent Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification Standards, Owen said.
"People need to be warned of the hazards beyond the immediate floods of not only mold, but bacteria," Anderson said. "There are people, sadly, who will be worse off from buildings that survived the floods."
People should be are aware of the hazards after the flood, being aware of what might develop over time where they can't see and monitoring their family's health for new symptoms over time.
"There are far too many families, like mine, experiencing longterm health problems from water-damaged buildings," Anderson added.
Mold should always be remediated as soon as possible but its presence alone does not mean you need to immediately evacuate your home. There are over a hundred thousand types of mold and not all of them release mycotoxins that can make a person ill. The common antibiotic, penicillin, is made from a mold. Some molds weaken wooden structures but have no health effects whatsoever. Some people with compromised immune systems, infants and the elderly need to be more careful as they are more susceptible to the effects of mold spores than others. It's like some people are allergic to nuts but most aren't. The only reason I am bringing this up is my company did mold and moisture remediation for many years and it was common to come across people scared out of their wits by unethical, unlicensed, unregulated companies that would identify any mold as the dreaded Black Mold (Stachybotrys) in need of immediate (and expensive) remediation. Their hyperbole was usually wrong as evidenced by laboratory testing (we sent all mold specimens to an unaffiliated test center for positive identification). Here in Kauai we have an excellent environment for mold growth so whether you know it or not you are probably coming into contact with mold spores every day from your kitchen sponge or dishrag to the corners of your shower, they are ever present. Yes, you should definitely eliminate any sources of mold immediately but that does not mean you need to condemn your home or head for the hills if you find it. You can go to the CDC.GOV website for free information on what you can do for flood damage and mold cleanup on your own.

You get where people are coming from
Congrats! You've earned your diploma and think you're ready to land your dream job—but first, you need soft skills. Although you might have the technical know-how, or "hard skills," to do the job, your future employer might be looking for something more. One survey showed that job candidates rated themselves higher than employers did on whether they had the skills necessary to do the job. So what are soft skills? They're people skills that can't be quantified, like communication. But "communication" doesn't mean just having a nice phone voice—it means being perceptive and understanding of others' motives. "I always say, 'The best way to get what you want is to figure out why someone else wants you to have it,'" says career expert Michelle Tillis Ledermen, founder of Executive Essentials and author of The 11 Laws of Likability. "In other words, seek to understand their motivation. When you do, you can present your ideas, request, or any communication through that lens." Try these tips for writing a resume that will get you hired.
You're relatable
This year's survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) found that 78 percent of employers seek candidates who can work in a team, making it the most desired skill. To do so, you'll need your coworkers to find you open, available, empathetic, and relatable. If you're closed off, you will put people on the defensive, which makes it harder to work together and have your ideas accepted. Lederman says one of the "pillars of trust" in a work environment is authenticity. "You can't connect with and trust someone who isn't being real," she says. Another is vulnerability. "This is not about being weak, it is about being open and sharing imperfections for others to learn from," she says. If your colleagues can relate to you and feel they can trust you, they're likely to be amenable in turn.

text: Book Review Excursions In Iron Palm Written by Josh Walker ISBN-10: 1456404938 ISBN-13: 978-1456404932 Page Count 111 At $45 and only 111 pages, this book should come packed with information, crystal clear diagrams, gold plating, and some magic beans. Sadly it only comes with one of those. While it does come with a lot of information, very useful information, I am not certain I can really say its worth $45. Lets get into the meat of the review, and get the bad stuff out of the way first. The diagrams at the beginning of the book are very rough. Very poorly compressed picture format wise. For a good example of this, look at this. http://www.artoftheguillotine.com/download_files/compression1.jpg This is the worst on the Five Elements Chart, it is barely readable. The charts showing the Kidney and Spleen pathologies stuffer less from it, and are actually readable. The pictures of people are blurry, and pretty pixelated as well. Some sections of the book really need more detail. Why list a section on Vibrating Palm training, if the extent of the information is to just contact another group for more information. The section about Vibrating Palm is only two paragraphs. If you want to discuss other styles / schools of Iron Palm training, it would be better, in my opinion, to make a section titled Other Styles and include it as a subsection. Adding Vibrating Palm by itself to the table of contents is almost misleading in making it sound like you have a whole chapter devoted to it. Early in the book references are made to various laws, Pavlovs Dog. The only issue is there occasionally no definition of what these laws are. I am going to quote a section of the book here. In this case, physical neural changes alter the actual structure of the brain to produce increased mental acuity. This works psychologically as well, Pavlovs Dog being the most famous example. Now, the section of the book that this is from is discussing how repeated stressed will build up a toughness or a resistance, but for the love of God, give us the description of Pavlovs Dog, even as a foot note. The way it is now just makes me wonder what Pavlov did to his poor dog, and why couldnt he name the dog. Good stuff: Chinese Herbs along with the common names for the herbs is very helpful. Descriptions of what the various herbs do is very helpful when it appears in the book, so people new to Chinese herbalism can get an idea of why this particular herb is being used. I wish the author had put more descriptions like this into the book. The recipe sections are wonderful, very detailed and greatly appreciated. The book could use a couple of references to some books on Chinese Herbs, in the Other Sources of Information section. I could see this book retailing for the suggest retail price if it came with some extras, such as one or two of the Vinyl lined Iron Palm bags that Plum Dragon sells. Why not include a section on training Iron Leg or Iron Arm as well, they are equally important in martial arts, and use many of the same techniques and medicines to heal. If the price point is so high because of production costs, see about having YMAA publish the book, as it would in theory lower the cost, and make the book open to a much larger audience. The section on how to set up a break, and the various block materials is very nice, discussing in detail about how temperatures and shipping can cause even two blocks of the same stone type to have radically different strengths. Also covered are ways to work on building up to stronger breaks, such as using paper on top of the blocks to help focus your, power would be misleading word here, how about.. vibrations? The energy to break the blocks,. Over all I like this book, for a first edition. It has some rough spots, that once smoothed out, will make it a valuable addition to the martial artists library. Hopefully the price can come down a bit also, as the high selling point makes it a major purchase for most martial artists I know. If it were $20 I could see it almost as an impulse buy. Or maybe my day job pays me too much for me to consider $20 an impulse buy... I know it seems like I may have nit picked a bit, and didnt point out a whole lot of flaws, but with a book thats only 100 some odd pages, a few flaws can add up quickly. For being possibly the first book on this subject, it's a great work, and hopefully other books will be able to build on the solid foundation laid by Mr. Walker.

CGMP and ISO 13485: Aligning Device Quality Worldwide
Kari Miller, Vice President of Regulatory and Product Management, Pilgrim Quality Solutions
Regulators around the world commonly assess product design to ensure safety and efficacy in medical devices. The product approval process is key to ensuring the safety and efficacy of life-improving and life-saving products introduced into their market. However, oversight does not stop there. Worldwide, regulatory bodies are looking to ensure sustainability; they need to "see" that an organization can continuously produce and provide safe, quality product to their market. How do they do that? By auditing an organization's quality system.

Laminitis is a crippling disorder of the feet, resulting from damage to the sensitive soft tissues known as 'laminae' which connect the skeletal pedal bone to the inside of the hoof wall. There are about 600 interlocking laminae in each hoof and they provide the support for the weight of the horse.
Founder is the physical change that occurs within the hoof as a result of laminitis. When the laminae are damaged their supporting function is weakened. This may allow the pedal bone within the hoof to 'sink' downwards and 'rotate' backwards due to the weight of the horse pushing downwards on the bone and the upward pull of the flexor tendon which attaches to the base of the bone. Damage to the laminae can lead to abnormal hoof growth with obvious 'growth rings', long toes, flat soles and separation of the sole from the hoof wall at the white line (often followed by 'seedy toe').
One of the more common causes of laminitis is overeating of feeds rich in 'soluble carbohydrates' also referred to as non-structural carbohydrates or NSC (mainly found in cereal grains and lush/stressed pasture).
Laminitis can also result from endocrine disorders such as equine Cushing's disease or equine metabolic syndrome. Gastrointestinal problems such as colic, diarrhoea, retained placenta after foaling, metritis, pneumonia, peritonitis, enteritis etc. can also result in laminitis. Laminitis can also be caused by certain drugs and management factors such as standing for long periods in trucks or floats and by excessive work on hard surfaces for example hoof concussion from galloping or jumping on hard surfaces.
Feeds rich in starch and sugar/fructan can cause a digestive upset in the large intestine. Mammals have no enzyme to digest fructan so this passes undigested directly into the hindgut (caecum and colon). An excess of grain consumption will also ultimately overflow into the hindgut.
ln the hindgut, excess starch or fructan undergoes rapid fermentation to lactic acid, with many normal bacteria, unable to survive the acid or low pH conditions- As the acid builds up, it damages the gut lining and toxic substances including bacterial endotoxins and other toxins are released and enter the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, the toxins appear to either directly or indirectly stimulate increased production and activity of certain enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The over activity of these enzymes destroys the laminae, resulting in the onset of laminitis.
High heart rate, rapid breathing, increased digital pulses, fever, sweating, colic, diarrhoea and depression are signs of horses battling grain overload.[i]
No - All horses can develop laminitis and founder. Although pasture-associated laminitis is more common in ponies- Certain breeds are known to have a higher risk of developing laminitis. Obese horses and ponies are more likely to experience pedal bone rotation and permanent hoof damage due to the extra weight their feet have to support even in a relatively mild case of laminitis.
Surveys have shown that valuable show and equestrian horses are also at risk of developing laminitis even when fed on hard feeds containing relatively small amounts of grain- It is also now known that many racehorses have low-grade laminitis, which may only cause mild sore footedness. A scratchy gait and separation at the 'white line'. Studies have shown that low grade laminitis can significantly affect racing performance.[ii]
Yes. Once a horse has foundered it is likely to suffer from continued repeated attacks. These horses can become very sensitive to the carbohydrates in feed, which may trigger a founder episode with only small amounts of grain or lush pasture. Symptoms of laminitis can also occur if the horse's hooves are not kept correctly trimmed or the animal is worked on hard surfaces.
Of all the common lameness problems that affect horses and ponies, laminitis and founder are most feared by horse owners. Horses that have suffered from laminitis remain susceptible to the disease.
The first step is to understand what components of the horse's diet create the risk of laminitis. What do grains and lush pastures have in common? Cereal grains contain abundant amounts of starch – a form of carbohydrate that is broken down to simple sugars such as glucose in the digestive tract. Lush green grass can have high levels of sugars/fructans that are directly available in the digestive tract.
Therefore careful management is called for – especially after rain. The new grass growing in the cooler times of late winter and spring contains far higher levels of the danger molecule 'fructan' than grass growing at warmer, drier times of the year. Growing grasses are highly palatable to grazing horses due to the high levels of carbohydrates contained within the leaves. This carbohydrate or 'fructan' is the causative factor in the development of pasture-associated laminitis and. when ingested in significant amounts, will cause a severe bout of laminitis. The re-growth following drought-breaking rain can also contain dangerous levels of fructan, even in what seems to be a small amount of grass.
Therefore, even on starvation paddocks, the amount of fructan ingested by a horse can be enough to cause laminitis.
Restricting horses' intake of lush green grass and grain can reduce the rate or' lactic acid production.
Even if you have never experienced laminitis in your horse before, now is the time to make preventative changes in order to minimise your horse's chances of succumbing to this potentially fatal disease.
Metabolic disorders such as EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome] and Cushing's Disease (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction - PPID) are associated with increased risk of laminitis. In the case of EMS, the underlying issue is a result of hormonal imbalance related to insulin metabolism. Insulin resistance appears to be one of the criteria defining EMS, with clinical signs including obesity-associated laminitis and abnormal fatty deposits or regional adiposity.
PPID on the other hand, is fairly common in older horses (generally over 15 years) and is a disease of the pituitary gland. Clinical signs include laminitis, shaggy coat, undue sweating, lethargy, loss of topline, increased thirst and urination.
Lack of proper management factors such as stress brought on by prolonged transport, poor hoof care and shoeing, sheer neglect and riding horses on hard surfaces may also lead to laminitis.
Common gastrointestinal factors that often precede laminitis are severe colic, retained placenta in post-foaling mares, metritis, septicaemia conditions, pleuritis/pneumonia (lung inflections), enteritis etc.
Laminitis most commonly affects the forefeet of the horse. This is because approximately 65% of the horse's weight is carried through the forequarters. However, laminitis can also occur in the hind feet. Usually both front feet are affected, but laminitis may also occur only in one hoof or in all four feet simultaneously.
The common clinical signs of laminitis are listed below. It is important to note that affected horses may show all of these signs or only some of them.

The remarkable last-move-of-the-season try and subsequent conversion to beat Ireland made it 14 wins out of 14 – the first time a clean sweep has been achieved since the game turned professional in 1995.
Ridiculed after a journalist spotted a team room notice declaring "we are the most dominant team in the history of the world" ahead of their Twickenham match, dissenting voices are proving harder to find now.
Sean Fitzpatrick, whose team of the mid-1990s is often revered as his country's best, considers the current crop to be deserving of the "best-ever" plaudits.
"They are better than 2012 and 2011 – they are becoming the pretty complete team," he said.
The world champions beat France four times, Australia three and South Africa and Argentina twice, before completing the sweep with away wins over Japan, England and Ireland.
The pick of the bunch was their astonishing performance in Johannesburg in October, when they won a wonderful match 38-27 to win the rugby championship yet again.
Ellis Park had never been a happy hunting ground for the All Blacks, who had lost eight of the 11 games there, and they were facing a fired-up Springbok team who knew that a four-try victory could give them the title.
The hosts got their four tries, and were leading midway through the second half, when the effects of altitude were supposed to start working against the All Blacks.
Instead it was the visitors who found an extra gear to force their way back to rack up five tries, win the match, the championship and maintain their amazing streak.
They kept on winning and with only Ireland to face, a team they had never lost to in 108 years, the sweep looked certain to be achieved.
Yey even after fighting back from 17-0 and 22-7 down they still trailed by five as the clock clicked into the red zone.
Richie McCaw's team refused to concede it was over, though, and launched one last attack, a sweeping movement across the field in both directions involving forwards and backs, full of attacking intent and self-belief that somehow got Ryan Crotty over in the corner.
The scores were level, the perfect year still tantalisingly out of reach, but even when Aaron Cruden sent his conversion wide the All Blacks found a way to win – Ireland had charged too early and Cruden made sure with his second chance.
"It comes down to belief," said McCaw. "I've always been proud of All Blacks teams, you never give up and never stop believing there's a chance. We had 15 guys out there still believing right to the last minute and it's amazing what can happen."
Steve Hansen, who took over from Graham Henry after the 2011 rugby World Cup, has won 26, lost one and drawn one of his 28 games in charge.
Another New Zealand coach will also look back on 2012 with huge pride but Warren Gatland's glory came via Wales and the British and Irish Lions.
The Lions triumphed 2-1 in Australia for their first series win since beating South Africa 16 years ago and, as ever, the three contests held the rugby world spellbound.
After two nervy, scruffy tests left the teams level at 1-1 the Lions, controversially without dropped former captain Brian O'Driscoll, produced a magnificent performance to triumph 41-16 in the decider.
It was a hugely important win, not just for the players and supporters but for the whole Lions concept, as another series defeat would have again raised questions over its place in the modern game.
There were 10 Welshman in the third test starting XV, a fair reflection of their form months earlier when they won their second successive Six Nations title.
On that memorable Millennium Stadium night Wales handed grand-slam chasing England a record 30-3 humiliation.
Eight months later, as they slumped to a ninth successive defeat by Australia and 22nd from 23 against the southern hemisphere big three, things were a touch quieter in the pubs and clubs of Cardiff.
There was precious little November joy in any of the Six Nations cities as their teams lost 10 of 11 home fixtures against the southern hemisphere's big three.
The exception was England's deserved victory over Australia as Stuart Lancaster's side bounced back well from that chastening Six Nations setback.
They chalked up a series victory in Argentina with an experimental team and had wins over Australia and the Pumas before ending their season with a narrow loss to the All Blacks.
England and New Zealand will meet again four more times next year, when England, hosts of the 2015 World Cup, will really be able to get an idea of how much progress they are making.
South Africa remain the clear second-ranked team and are adding real verve to their traditional power but it was Australia who ended a troubled 2013 on the most positive note.
Their Lions defeat led to the resignation of coach Robbie Deans while a series of disciplinary issues dogged the squad all year.
However, coach Ewen McKenzie's decision to recall maverick flyhalf Quade Cooper has already borne fruit with some mesmerising back play on their autumn tour and they again look capable of beating anyone on their day.
In club rugby Toulon won the Heineken Cup, beating Clermont Auvergne 16-15 in an all-French Dublin final, but the future of Europe's premier competition remains cloudy.
English and French plans for a breakaway competition seemed to have gained ground when the Welsh regions elected to join them but a French U-turn – possibly for one year only – looks as if the 2014-15 season, what should be the 20th of the Heineken Cup, will go ahead without any English clubs.
The Waikato Chiefs retained the Super Rugby title, beating Australia's Brumbies in the final to give New Zealand the honours for the 12th time in 18 competitions.
The last word of the year went to the All Blacks as they swept the board at the IRB awards. Team of the year, coach of the year and, in the form of irrepressible number eight Keiran Read, player of the year.
The perfect end to, officially, the perfect year.

Foster Martin had two goals and an assist against his former team as the Victoria Cougars doubled up on the Oceanside Generals 6-3 on Thursday night.
The win allows Victoria to remain nine points behind the South Island Division-leading Westshore Wolves who won their game Thursday night.
Martin, who was dealt to Victoria in exchange for future considerations, has eight points in 16 games since changing uniform colours in early September.
The Cougars enjoyed period leads of 2-1 and 5-2.
Martin scored his first of two goals at 1:42 of the opening frame when he pounced on a Zefan Pighin rebound and beating Aaron Jakubowski. Just prior to the goal, Liam Kinshella was able to feed Pighin the puck before getting flatted by Trae St. Pierre at centre ice.
Oceanside tied the game on a goal by Brady Kay. Streaking down the right side, William Norman fed an aerial centering pass to Kay who deflected the puck over the right shoulder of Nate Reinhart at 12:38.
Reinhart, who was acquired yesterday, made his first start for the Cougars after beginning the season with the Campbell River Storm.
Victoria took the lead at 14:35 when Akila Sato-Gaudreau wheeled out from behind the net and ripped a wrist shot that was too hot to handle.
A delay of game penalty plus a two-minute minor for hooking to Matthew Sparrow put the Generals on a two-man advantage early in the second period.
59 seconds in, Landon Dziadyk redirected a Logan Archer point shot to tie the game.
The Cougars regained the lead on a power play at 4:16 when Wade walked out front untouched and slid the puck past Jakubowski for his seventh goal of the season.
Martin would score again, this time on an easy tap in at 7:22. Watching the proceedings from the sin bin was Koby Adams-Loitz who had all but 20 seconds expired in his tripping penalty.
Victoria went ahead 5-2 at 12:47 when Lakoduk scooped up a loose puck in the crease and fired it home.
There would be no scoring until the 12:36 mark of the third period. With Ethan Trampuh off for unsportsmanlike conduct, Andre Sutter cut into the lead 12 seconds later on a shorthanded breakaway.
On the play, Reinhart was shaken up after Sato-Gaudreau inadvertently ran him over. After getting attended to by trainer Jordan Brucks, Reinhart was medically cleared to resume activity.
Reinhart, who attended the Victoria Royals camp last season, was in the mix for the backup job only to lose out to Dylan Myskiw.
A shorthanded, empty net goal by Mateo Albinati with 42.9 seconds remaining in regulation would prove to be the final nail in the coffin for the Generals.
Reinhart stopped 20 shots; meanwhile, Jakubowski made 31 saves.
The Cougars went 2-for-6 with the man advantage. Oceanside finished 1-for-7.
With a slew of injuries and a suspension to Dylan Defosse, Suneil Karod was forced to ice only 14 skaters and two goaltenders.
Elsewhere in the VIJHL, Cameron Coutre scored at 2:16 of second overtime to lead the Westshore Wolves to a 4-3 win over the Nanaimo Buccaneers in front of 225 at the Nanaimo Ice Centre.
Next game for Victoria is Friday, November 17 versus the Saanich Braves. Game time at G.R. Pearkes Recreation Centre, located at 3100 Tillicum Road, is 6:30 p.m.
1st star, Darwin Lakoduk (Goals: 1, Assists: 3)
2nd star, Foster Martin (Goals: 2, Assists: 1)
3rd star, Liam Kinshella (Goals: 0, Assists: 1)

Macquarie, Goldman Sachs Funds to Buy HES International
Infrastructure funds managed by Macquarie and Goldman Sachs have reached an agreement to purchase the Netherlands-based port terminals operator HES International.
Macquarie and Goldman Sachs did not revealed the financial terms of the agreement in principle, which was signed with Riverstone Holdings and The Carlyle Group.
HES will now initiate consultations where appropriate with the relevant works councils, according to a statement from The Carlyle Group.
Should definitive transaction documentation be executed following the consultation process, completion will remain subject to legal and antitrust approvals.
"As long term investors we are excited about the growth opportunities HES offers in dry and liquid bulk as well as its strong management team, market position in North West Europe and its focused strategy. Together with our partner WSIP, we are looking forward to supporting management in expanding the business through new growth projects," Leigh Harrison, European Head of MIRA, said.
In mid-February 2018, Reuters cited industry sources as saying that HES International is worth around EUR 2 billion.
HES, one of the largest diversified port terminals businesses in Europe, has 18 dry and liquid bulk terminals across 8 countries.

What does it take to become a club legend? A proper one, I mean, who will go down in history as one of the true greats.
I only ask because David De Gea seems to be heading that way. Excelling in goal for a very average Manchester United team, the Spaniard virtually stands alone in enhancing his reputation nearly every week.
He was at it again on Sunday. Granted, United's victory at Anfield may not go down as his best day or even his busiest but he was certainly central to denying Liverpool with an authoritative display capped by some crucial saves.
The first came via good positioning when Emre Can's powerful drive from an angle flew through his legs but glanced off the inside of his calf to whizz wide of the far post.
• Liverpool 0 Man Utd 1: Five things we learned
You could argue there was a bit of luck involved here, seeing as so many goals are scored when keepers are getting nutmegged. But De Gea, for me, earned that good fortune with a lightening-quick adjustment to get a touch on the ball.
The second save was a lot more spectacular as he dived full length to his right to tip away a shot, again from Can. But that wasn't the last of it. With the danger not passed, De Gea sprang to his feet to claw the ball away from a waiting mob, very much in the image of Peter Schmeichel, watching from the Sky studio.
Schmeichel, of course, attained legendary status at Old Trafford, just as Edwin van der Sar did a few years later. Now we see a player doing everything necessary to emulate those famous figures.
But what are the factors to consider when bandying the 'L' word about? What has to be achieved to even consider the term? First off, I think you must be part of a trophy-winning side, not one just huffing and puffing around the fringes.
De Gea satisfies this criteria having won the league at United in his second season. A debut campaign in England remembered for the wiry youngster flapping at crosses, for regularly getting bullied in crowded penalty areas was impressively followed by a much calmer time.
Even then, though, the Spain international still had plenty to do. By no means the finished article, De Gea would have to get better if he wanted to go down in United folklore. In the intervening years, however, a combination of hard work, determination and loads of natural ability have elevated the lad on to a level that attracted the persistent attentions of Real Madrid.
Now we all know the story of last summer's protracted saga that ended with De Gea staying at United. Less clear is how De Gea feels now with regard to his future.
In a rare interview last week, he talked about Schmeichel and Van Der Sar. "They are legends for this club and that is what I want", he said, sounding like a man who wants to hang around.
Well, if he does stay in Manchester, that particular wish, if it hasn't already, will surely come true.
Player of the weekend
For Benik Afobe, a £12m move to Bournemouth did not start well against West Ham last week. But this was different. The look of sheer joy on Afobe's face was a picture on Saturday as he wheeled away after scoring against Norwich. A powerfully built striker who started at Arsenal, went on loan to six clubs before shining at Wolves may finally be set for a successful career in the top flight.
Hero of the weekend
The hierarchy at Barnet made a fine gesture on Saturday by announcing the tickets bought by Carlisle fans (and indeed by the home contingent) would be slashed by half as a supportive response to the Cumbrian floods. Cynics might suggest it was more a clever way of boosting the gate. But I would prefer to believe that Barnet kindly acted to help people down on their luck.
Moment of the weekend
The times have been few when John Terry reacted so wildly. Jumping on to the advertising hoarding after grabbing a very late and controversial equaliser against Everton, the Chelsea captain celebrated like a man possessed. After setting the ball rolling earlier with an own goal, this was some way to mark his 700th career appearance. I would imagine life at Chelsea has rarely felt so up and down.
Villain of the weekend
It can only get better for Jan Kirchhoff. Bought from Bayern Munich this month, Sunderland's new signing had only been on the pitch for eight minutes when, with the game in the balance, his poor intervention allowed Christian Eriksen to put Tottenham 3-1 up. Not long afterwards he fouled Danny Rose to concede a penalty that sealed the result. Not what you'd call a super sub display.

What you've told us so far...

- There are concerns about some vehicle access to parts of the town centre (in particular on Middle Street)

- An assessment of access to the town centre

Console wars never change. Beginning back as far as the era of pong-only console clones and leading all the way up to the Xbox One vs PlayStation 4, the argument over which console reigns supreme is a fight that never seems to end. This November, when the Xbox One X drops from orbit and lands at retailers across the world, it will also land squarely in the sights of the Playstation 4 Pro, which has been the lone 4K gaming console since its launch last fall.
Xbox One X has the obvious advantage of having been released an entire year after the Playstation 4 Pro hit store shelves in the Fall of 2016. That year was not wasted as the Xbox One X has significantly stronger hardware than the PS4 Pro:
While this category is a bit of a no-brainer, it is important to take note that the Playstation 4 Pro lacks one of the key components that many would consider an essential addition to their 4K living room: A 4K UHD Blu-ray player.
Rather than trying to dissect which console has the best games, which is entirely subjective, let's have a look at objective some facts about the game libraries of both of the 4K home consoles.
As far as the overall look of the console goes, the better design is a matter of personal preference. Both consoles are black and somewhat rectangular in shape, and while the Playstation 4 Pro is quite a bit larger in size compared to the Xbox One X, it isn't prohibitively large and is smaller than the VCR-like form factor of the first Xbox One. The only notable feature that the Xbox One X has over the Playstation 4 Pro is inclusion of the HDMI-In port, which allows the console to be used as a DVR for cable or satellite television.
When keeping in mind the theme of this article, the smaller, faster, and more capable Xbox One X is the clear winner here by delivering the best in 4K gaming performance and 4K media options. With 40%+ more power, built-in UHD Blu-ray capability, and actual native 4K 60fps gaming available on day one, there is little argument against the Xbox One X being the technically superior console, and would be worth the extra $100 for most, all things considered.
The best way to save money when choosing a new video game console is to look for one the fantastic bundle options that make their annual debut just in time for the holiday season. That's why the second best choice a shopper can make when choosing a new 4K gaming console is to stay tuned to Bfads.net, where we will examine every leaked ad to compare prices, bundles, and throw-ins to take the guess work out of your Black Friday shopping with our signature buying guides.
