Only options 3 and 5 had no chances of success. Option 2 was viable too, but would have resulted in injuries.
I walked closer to the man who opened, but not within arm's reach in case he planned to attack. In the same time, I could get a better view of the inside. Aside from the technician, no one else was in sight. There were some doors lining a hallway further ahead but it was narrow, and another passage to his right but the angle was awkward. A terrible place for an ambush. Why was this man doing something that would obviously anger us if they had no way to take us down quickly?
I told him to wait just a minute, and went back to my buddies to instruct them quietly enough for the others not to hear.
"With Sam and Joe away, we're not numerous enough to attack effectively. We wouldn't be able to... incapacitate them before they can shoot a couple of us, even if - as I think - they don't have enough guns to arm every man. But I'm afraid they won't release Robert (that's the doctor's name, I don't remember mentionning it) without a little "persuation", so here's what we'll do: Francine, return to the house and wait for Sam and Joe. If we don't return, you'll be in charge of telling the Convent what happened here. I want you out of weapons' range before anything nasty can happen, so get going now. Larry will come inside with me. No shooting unless I say so! And the others, stay out, and if you hear shots and we don't come back, use the explosives in the nastiest ways you can imagine. Save the doctor if you can... if we come to this point it'll be up to your judgement."
To tell the truth, even Larry seemed surprised by my aggressive attitude, but frankly, I just didn't see many options. I returned to the man and showed my gun. The technician gasped in shock and ran away. I aimed at him by reflex but didn't shoot: I already knew he was way too nervous, if he alerted the others... at least it'd mean they hadn't actually planned to trap us.
"Look, I said, I value my comrades and I'm sure you feel the same ways about yours. If there's any real reason you want to keep the doctor longer, we can discuss it, if we fight, people we prefer alive will die. For now, lets just bring him here, so we can make sure he's safe."
Never assume fear will make someone obey. He took a few steps inward alright, but just turned back to me and attempted to explain, like a child trying to blame a mess on everything but himself, instead of cleaning it up.
"Look, he was operating someone a few hours ago, someone's leg had been wounded and healed around a bunch of dirt and things we couldn't take out and recently it began to infect and stuff... it's not a complicated operation so he accepted to do it, but it was long, and he worked taking no breaks until he was done, and then I guess it was exhaustion, he ran to his things and looked for something and then yelled that someone had stolen his things and got fucking mad, like crazy! He didn't stay mad long, but he passed out before he could finish a sentence and we couldn't wake him up and... he's not doing good at all, maybe it's even a stroke or something... ok, no one else wanted to be the one telling you... damn, who knows, maybe he's dying because of us, I don't know what happened! I just don't know!"
I glared at him: "It's not just your technician, all your dumb group has dumb panic attacks, how did you survive this far? You almost got everybody killed with your half-assed lies!"
I was pissed off, and worried. A few of the nuns had nurse training, but Robert was our only doctor, he was not replaceable, and while not my personal friend, a fine guy in general. I sure didn't like to know he was in danger!
1- Take the doctor back home as quickly as possible so the nuns can look after him.
2- Have a look at him first. I only know the most basic first aid but maybe there is someting I - or someone else in my group - can do.
3- A more believable story to lure us in, that's what it must be! Don't let our guard down, do whatever it takes to have the doctor brought to the door without exposing ourselves.

I say two. Either this guy's a lying prick, in which case boom, or he's telling the truth. You need to see the doctor, and if he really is in a bad way, moving him might not be a good idea. Take Larry and at least one other person though, preferably more.

I didn't like leaving no one out to cover our back, but I think the time for attacks and secret plots is behind... I told everyone to arm themselves and come. People we met in the halls looked surprised to see us clutching our weapons, but in a more curious than worried way. None of them were expecting violence, I understood. If a few members of this community wanted to trick us, they were few, as well as terrible planners. I almost relaxed... this didn't mean we wouldn't meet trouble, but perhaps it did show that our main concern should be our doctor's well-being.
Soon, we saw our doctor Robert lying on a gym carpet they had brought to the room he collapsed in. I noticed how his things lay scattered and remembered that he had claimed to have been robbed just before passing out: maybe someone stole his medicine, he's well into his sixties, he can have some illness. I ordered the man who lead us in to go and find what was stolen: I don't want to know who stole it, I just want it back. And I asked the others if they knew anything about Robert's problem, though I'm sure if they knew, they wouldn't have waited for me to ask.
The doctor didn't look so bad. When I checked the pressure point on the sternum, he moaned a little, so he wasn't completely unconscious, it might be possible to wake him up if needed. Weird, they had told he wasn't doing good at all, why alarm and potentially anger us by exagerating? Well, maybe Robert did get better. We searched through his personal things, but if there had been medicine there, it had been stolen, there was nothing there but clothes and books. As to his medical supplies, well there were plenty of drugs there, but no way to know if any was the type he needed.
As she stuffed his scattered clothes in his bag, Sandra remarked: "Do you think he could have gotten mad over his candy? He could have fainted over blood pressure problems if he was mad enough, I mean, he always has candy on him but I find them no where, old men don't like breaking habits. Children tend to stalk him around the Convent in hope to get some, he's kinda known for that."
Ok, I'm not a doctor, I don't even know a lot on the subject, so I really don't get how no one else figured that out before: people who always carry candy on them are diabetics more often than not. Because if they skip a meal or have a stressful time they need some quick sugar or they faint. That looks a lot like our situation... Come on people, even I know that! Knowing my luck, I bet at least two out of three of my absent companions knew about it and would have saved us concerns... including the next question: what now?
1) Take the doctor home and let the nuns handle it.
2) Wait in case he regains consciousness on his own, and 1) if he doesn't soon.
3) Try feeding him sugared water and hope he doesn't choke.
4) Look for the insulin and stuff in his kit and pray that it comes with instructions.
5) No way, I bet the others used chloroform to knock him out and trick us into waiting here while they ready some device to take us out at once! Erupt in the hallway all guns out and shoot everything! Even paranoiacs have enemies!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

This story is like House, without doctors! If the hypoglycemic-coma-usually-stops-even-without-treatment bit is not true, blame the Wiki.
What the hell is clarithromycin? Do you know that? Because that's what's written on the first bottle I pulled out of the medicine kit. And I have no idea what it's for. If Robert recovers, I'll demand that he trains at least one of the men who work with me to know more than the basics of emergency care. Morphine? Hey I know who might be interested in that... no, bad Peter. I tried to check every bottle of pills and liquids systematically, but found no insulin. I remember when I helped looting a drugstore, I wasn't next to the doctor while he did that, but he emptied some shelves into a cardboard drum and wrote a warning on it: some drugs went bad with time, bad enough that he didn't want a lonely survivor to cluelessly try using them. Some others merely became useless. That's why there was no insulin, I guess. And none of the directions I hoped to find with it.
And maybe it wasn't such a big problem: the doctor looked half conscious, not awake, but he'd open his eyes, look around himself, and lie down a little longer. Hey, if some sugar could revive him, he was in a state to swallow it as soon as we could provide him. I ran out of the room and caught the first person I met, ordering her to give us some goddamn Pepsi. Goddamn Pepsi never went bad and every store was so packed with it it wasn't going to run out soom. They ought to have some. The girl must have thought I was crazy when I frowned hard at her when she came back with goddamn Coca-Cola. Perhaps I was, the goddamn Pepsi and goddamn Coca-Cola thing was an inside joke between me and someone who was eaten by zombies a few years ago. I didn't guess wrong, he eagerly drank the glass I gave him, but I didn't let him take more when he wanted to, I imagine too much would be a problem as well and he'd deside more wisely once he's fully awake.
You can imagine I was looking forward to going away, and if we left now and met no more problem on the road, we'd be home for supper. The nuns would take good care of the doc, and scold us for the form as the rest of us celebrated our succesful mission with hard liquor. I talked to the others and agreed to let them rest a little and chat with the members of this community, we had been kinda rude on our way in, we'd try to leave a better impression before leaving. We traded some of the explosives we carried - not enough to possibly use against us - for a pile of books on subjects we thought would be useful. This city hall and our convent had one thing in common, they both housed a library, but ours was mostly devoted to antique books, not all religious, and books on subjects the nuns were trained in (I'm still in awe over learning most of them had been to college), it lacked several topics. In a future trip, I'd take a pile of novels. And we finally left. The doctor wasn't in the greatest shape, but he made sense now and swore he was doing fine.
We made it to the house we had spent the night in, and found Francine waiting for us, a strange smirk on her face. She could barely wait for us to settle to grab my hand and drag me to the basement. Petite women often assumed they weren't strong enough to hurt bigger men and were more brutal than needed. She almost threw me down the stairs, where I saw what excited her so: in the boring hours she had waited for either us or Sam and Joe to come back, she had searched the house for anything interesting and found all our stolen things in a closet. The thief was one of us!
I begged her not to tell anyone else for now, and from her expression I guessed she had the same idea.
1) Larry never fit in with us and he's capable of living on his own, I guess he stole himself the gear to get started on his own. He can keep it and never come back.
2) It must be the technician, he's not one of us and his group has inferior weaponry, he has reasons to want to steal some.
3) It could be any of us. Lets have everyone participate in hope to narrow it down to as few suspects as possible.
4) It could be any of us. Lets not tell anyone not to make people distrust each others and keep an eye on the ones I suspect after we're back home.
NINJA'd!! But this time it didn't change the results of the vote.

I laughed when the character didn't give the doc more coke when he asked for it. And yeah the hypoglecimia-passing-even-without-treatment thing may be true; I lost consciousness once because I was having an attack and didn't know until I measured blood glucose, and then I stuffed my mouth full of sugar and lost it. Coulda been the sugar taking effect, coulda been that House' theory is correct. I dunno, I'm not really willing to test it.

When Sam and Joe came back, I gathered everyone and showed them Francine's finds. I also repeated our conclusions, though I'm certain everyone drew the same from the facts. One of us was a thief, and maybe a few other of us saw something happen, just not enough to tell it was a theft. I also mentioned that I thought it might be the technician, but not that I also suspected Larry, because I really had nothing that pointed at him, aside for my general distrust.
And both of them had no turn of guard, so no good occasion. Myself, Francine, Samuel, Sandra and Joe guarded while we slept, but there is no one I don't deeply trust in this list. I don't suspect myself, if Francine had stolen it why would she return it while no one was going to find it, and since Sam and Joe had more time by themselves in this house, they would have moved the weapons out before we came back. There's only Sandra I didn't have a specific reason not to suspect, but I didn't see a thief in her...
"Larry went out to piss during my turn, Sam said. But I think I heard other people get up at other points of the night.
- I did, Sandra said, I got up twice, I don't sleep well out of the Convent.
- I got up to take some water, Joe added, and the technician was gone when I came back. He returned a minute later, and I don't think I was away long.
- And I did see Sandra when she was up, one of her trips was during my shift, I said. Ok, so at least half of us got up at night, and I don't think I'd have noticed if one took longer than they're supposed. Actually, if they knew what they wanted, they could steal things, hide them, and still take a wizz and still come back in a reasonable time. I need you all to think hard, because I have no clue here: if we come back to the Convent as it is, we're taking a traitor in, someone who could put us all in danger. To that person, if we know who you are now, we'll let you take your bounty and leave us unhurt, but if we find out who you are later... you know what Mom does to traitors."
Actually, Mom had only killed a murderer and would-be rapist, I doubt she'd be that hard on a thief, but her reputation was intimidating to most inhabitants of the Convent. It seemingly wasn't enough to get the thief to denounce himself, though, and of course if it was the technician, he wasn't hearing the threat at all. We could perhaps have other ways to find clues. Reading fingerprints wasn't rocket science, if we left the junk as untouched as possible and brought it back to the Convent, we'd have plenty of time to figure it out. I'd let the nuns do the job for neutrality, since to the others I was as suspect as anyone else. On the other hand... I seriously didn't like the idea of letting the thief roam free in our home.
1- Go home and learn how to check for fingerprints.
2- No, we can't let the thief loose home. Stay here until someone confesses or we agree on who did it.
3- It's probably the technician, and if it isn't, it's as good having the others believe it so they don't distrust each other.
4- Leave it as it is. The thief will steal again, but every time the chances of getting caught will increase and eventually we'll know for sure.
5- Who's boss here? I'm not sure it's Larry, but he's my main suspect and he never was disciplined, if he doesn't confess I'll make an example out of him and the others will be more afraid to break the rules in the future.

Located on Long Island Sound in the town of East Lyme, 710-acre Rocky Neck is a popular recreation spot. The public now enjoys use of the park because of a few farsighted conservationists who secured the land in 1931, using their personal funds until the State Legislature authorized its purchase.
Rocky Neck's varied terrain offers something for everyone. Clear waters and the stone-free beach with expanses of white sand make it ideal for swimming. Many beautiful picnic locations are scattered throughout the park. The historic stone Ellie Mitchell Pavilion dominates the park's western shoreline. In the 1930's, relief agencies constructed the curved masonry building of native materials and crafted supporting pillars with wood cut from each of the state parks and forests. Diverse trails within the park provide easy and interesting walks to the scenic salt marsh and to such points of interest as Baker's Cave, Tony's Nose and Shipyard. Family camping within walking distance of saltwater bathing is also popular at Rocky Neck with 160 wooded and open campsites offering weekenders and vacationers attractive overnight accommodations.
Bounded on the west by a tidal river and to the east by a broad salt marsh, Rocky Neck was known to both Indians and colonists as a place of abundant fish and wildlife. Today, high spring tides allow schools of alewives (herring) to swim into Bride Brook toward inland spawning grounds. The osprey, or fish hawk, is a frequent early summer visitor. In the fall, cranes, herons and mute swans wade among cattails and rose mallow. Seasonal changes provide opportunities to fish for mackerel, striped bass, blackfish and flounder.

Normally, we'd recommend just about any piece of fan fiction that begins with Metroid bounty hunter Samus Aran coming out of the closet. But McSweeney's satirical rant from the Zebes native isn't even remotely sexy.
Serious Metroid fans may get a titter out of the referential piece, but conservative Galactic Federation types aren't going to approve of Aran's faux pro-gay marriage editorial. Hey, it's McSweeney's, not The Onion. It's dry, but amazingly authentic.
Now back to *my* Samus Aran lesbian coming out fanfic...

She may look fantastic for her age, but don't even think of asking Jane Asher if she's had surgery. "I've always said that beauty secrets should remain secret because I'm sure there will be a time, like anybody, when I would consider it," she says.
"Mystery is much better. It's like marriage, the less you say about it, the more likely it is that it'll work in your own life."
Still boasting the flawless, English rose complexion that she had in the 60s, it's hard to believe that Jane is a pensioner. So how does she do it?
Reluctantly, the 61-year-old actress agrees to share her secret formula. "I never sunbathe," she reveals. "I loathed being a redhead when I was younger because it meant I couldn't go in the sun - now I realise I was lucky. I tried and tried, but melanin doesn't exist in my skin. I never got that tanned look.
"One time I was so desperate to be like all my friends and go brown, I lay in it so long my face bubbled up in blisters. That was the last time I ever did. I try and look after myself. Your face is the tool of your trade in this business."
In her latest movie, Death At A Funeral, Jane plays a widow surrounded by her children's secrets and lies. But the actress admits that her own brood could not be more different. Despite having sons of 23 and 25, there are no signs of them flying the nest, and her eldest has moved his girlfriend into the family home in Chelsea.
"I hope they stay as long as they want, I hate to think of them leaving," she admits. "I wouldn't mind at all if they're all here in their 40s."
At a time of life when TV parts can dry up, Jane has never been busier. She had a stint on BBC1's Holby City and is reprising her role as Lady Byrne in the hospital drama for three months next year. And she's filming a new drama series for ITV called The Palace in Lithuania in which she plays the Queen in a fictional royal family.
Away from work, Jane has been married to cartoonist Gerald Scarfe, 71, for 36 years. "I can't really say why it's worked for so long, relationships are complex," she ponders. "It helps to pick someone you really like and get on with.
He's a good friend as much as anything and we're still romantic, we just got back from Paris last weekend. And the most romantic thing of all is that he has brought me a cup of tea in bed pretty much every day since we've been together.
"I'm happy to cook dinner, do the washing-up, but there is something about that early morning cup of tea that is wonderful."
Try to commit Jane to a conversation about her relationship with former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and you fight a losing battle.
She met him in 1963, two weeks after her 17th birthday, having been sent by the Radio Times to interview the Beatles.
Her mother invited McCartney to live in the family home. There, he and John Lennon wrote I Want to Hold Your Hand and several more of McCartney's greatest songs, including We Can Work It Out, said to be inspired by his relationship with Jane.
His fellow Beatles assumed the couple would marry, but Paul ended up with Linda: "I never talk about that," Jane says firmly. "Private life is private life."
But one subject she is chatty about is food. Despite being super-slim, she admits she indulges herself. "We eat lovely food and I've never dieted. I do drink, too. I love my wine," she smiles. "I often think: Is that going to suddenly implode on my face?" At one time, Jane was the queen of baking, yet she insists the whole thing was accidental. "When I had children, I started making cakes for them," she recalls. "I wrote a book because it seemed like something to do, and it was quite exciting."
Her range of mail-order and supermarket cake mixes have come to the rescue of many a panicking housewife and she has her own cake shop in London, still going after 16 years.
She laughs at the suggestion that she was the first domestic goddess, and admits she is good friends with her successor, Nigella Lawson.
Like most women, Jane has her own anxieties about the passing of time, and confesses that 50 was probably her hardest birthday. "That's not to say 60 wasn't tough.
But now I'm past 50, I've tended not to worry about my age as much.
"People say this preoccupation with youth and skinniness is new, but there has always been an obsession with women looking young. The celebrity culture has just encouraged it.
"But I try not to over-obsess about it. I have played so many different types of characters where you can sometimes look absolutely dreadful. That can be a treat."
Two years ago she starred in a movie as the Queen of Constantinople who has an affair with a 16-year-old toyboy. "It was fun but the actor was actually 24," she explains.
"There is something a bit yucky about a woman of 61 saying she feels sexy, but I do feel glamorous when I'm done up. I think if you're a womanly woman, you always feel like that."
Jane has been famous since her first film at five, but says she has managed to keep her life private. "I'm out shopping every day and maybe sometimes I look like Jane Asher and get spotted and sometimes I don't," she shrugs. "I don't tend to get recognised as much, people think you're dead or retired!"
To keep in shape, Jane swims. She is also conscious of her health - her sister Clare, 59, has been diagnosed with breast cancer twice - so Jane has been careful to get herself checked out. "She's fine now. But it was very stressful at the time," she says.
Despite her busy life - she also writes novels - Jane says her priority has always been her family.
"Motherhood has meant everything to me. I was happy to raise my children at home and I've never regretted that.
"I always knew I wanted children, but at first I wasn't particularly maternal. But within five minutes I was besotted with this demanding, impossible little thing." she laughs.
Yet she admits suffering from post-natal depression and panic attacks when her eldest child, Katie, was born. "Nothing too serious, but enough to know it's very nasty.
"I'd been feeding her for quite a long time and my GP very sensibly told me to stop in case I had to have anti-depressants and also to see if it was a hormonal thing. It did the trick so I was lucky really."
She reveals that Katie, now 33, has just decided to become an actress and started a two-year course last month at LAMDA.
"We tried to keep them away from acting but now I'm excited for her. It's a tough job but it's entirely up to her. I think she's a wonderful actress. And I tell you, I plan to pull any strings I can to get her work!"
Death At A Funeral is in cinemas now

Elkhart, Ind.-based supplier Ultra-Fab Products Inc. has introduced the Ultra 30-inch scissor jacks, designed to add stability to travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and horse and cargo trailers.
According to a press release, the scissor jacks install easily by welding or bolting to the RV frame with 3-inch by 10-inch multi-hole mounting plates. The jacks are ruggedly constructed and feature a black powder coat finish that resists rust. A strong worm gear jacking mechanism eliminates slipping and the 5-inch by 9-inch footpads help combat sinking and tilting.
Once installed, the Ultra 30-inch scissor jacks are easy to operate. By using the hand crank that is included in the Twin-Pack, simply crank the jacks down until they are firm against the surface. And since they extend from 4 3/4 inches to 30-inches, the scissor jacks will offer stability even if the campsite is not level.
One of the unique features of Ultra-Fab's scissor jacks is the use of a thread and nut at each end that work together when lowering or raising the unit. The company said the design allow RVers to move the jacks up or down 20% faster than other brands.
If RVers want to eliminate hand cracking, an Ultra Speed Socket scissor jack drill accessory is available. The 30-inch Scissor Jack also comes in a single pack but that does not include the hand crank.
The Ultra 30-inch scissor jacks are available through Arrow Distributing, Keystone Automotive, Stagparkway, NTP, Bell and Northern.

As you may recall, I reviewed products from Math Mammoth during last year's TOS Crew. This year, I was privileged to get another chance to review even more products from this great publisher/vendor! :)
Math Mammoth offers a plethora of downloadable worktexts designed for multiple grade levels. This year, we received Introduction to Fractions, Division 2, and Grade 5 Complete Worktext.
Introduction to Fractions and Division 2 worktexts are from the Blue Series. This worktext series focuses on a few specific topics per book. It's perfect to use as a supplement to your current math program or as a brush-up for struggling learners. Because it's a worktext, it provides both detailed explanations as well as plenty of practice problems.
Introduction to Fractions {75 pages} is appropriate for approx. grades 1-4 and is available for only $4.00. It covers basic fractional parts using lots of visuals (primarily in the form of pie charts and bar graphs), adding/subtracting like fractions, mixed numbers with like fractional parts and more.
I used this worktext with Ethan and Abby who both seemed to really enjoy it. At times Abby felt a bit overwhelmed, but once we went over (and over) the problems together very slowly (sometimes using our own visuals such as candy!), she picked up on it just fine. :) Ethan's a total math lover, so he was totally jazzed about the whole adding/subtracting fractions thing. (He does not get that from me, folks.) He hardly needed any help from Mom!
Division 2 {77 pages} is appropriate for grade 4 and up. It is available for only $5.00. This worktext covers the dreaded (at least around here!) long division and remainders, as well as using 2 digit divisors.
What I really appreciated about this program was the abundance of explanation from several different angles. It seems that Maria Miller, author of Math Mammoth, took the time to adjust her teaching to reach a variety of learning styles. For example, some concepts were explained very well for Sierra--she completed the lesson, no problem. While others made perfect sense to me, but not her. In the end, she gained a better grasp of division while I learned new ways of teaching her. Win-win situation! :)
Grade 5 Parts A/B from the Light Blue Series {Part A: 163 pages; Part B: 218 pages}. The Grade 5 curriculum consists of 2 worktexts that comprise an entire year's worth of lessons. The two parts available for $29.70. I used this program with Sierra in conjunction with Division 2. This two-part worktext program covers a wide range of topics including:
- Multi-digit multiplication and long division
- Decimals
- Fractions
- Geometry (which Sierra totally freaked out over)
- Fractions and a whole lot more!
The curriculum is also abounding in internet links, listed at the beginning of each chapter. These websites are great for further enrichment and provide a fun little break/recess.
Overall, I was extremely impressed once again with the quality, support, and ease-of-use-factor of Math Mammoth. I highly recommend this curriculum! I've said it before and I'll say it again...I give Math Mammoth two woolly thumbs up! (Hee hee!! Yeah, I know it's bad but I love it...!)
Oh yes. And as an added bonus, Math Mammoth also offers free placement tests for your student to take prior to ordering. (Incredibly handy!) Plus you can download a beefy sample pack of lessons to look over as well. Click here for more information.

Sniper Elite takes place in war-torn Berlin during the final days of World War II. As the Soviets and Germans are locked in a life and death struggle, the western Allies fear the looming Cold War. Assuming the role of a lone American sniper trained by the OSS, a player must infiltrate hostile enemy environments using their stealth and sniping skills and keep the Soviets from shifting the balance of power. The player's mission will span 28 sensitive and challenging missions. When sniping, a player must use gravity, elevation, wind speed and direction, heart rate, breath, posture, background noise and other conditions to successfully hit their mark. When a mission is accomplished, a player can engage in 2-player co-op, 8-player deathmatch or multiplayer network play.

Namco has been one of the savviest Japanese publishers at maintaining popularity and excitement with stateside gamers. But it's clear the company recognizes that western-developed games that wouldn't fly in Japan should be on the agenda, too, and that brings us to Sniper Elite. Although the military shooter genre took a brief tour of duty in Vietnam, it's no surprise that we've returned to the relative comfort-zone of World War II. And so Namco's latest game and first attempt at the genre -- being developed in the UK by Rebellion -- should draw from the most popular war in gaming. Read More »
Also known as: Sniper Elite: Berlin 1943 (*Former title), Sniper Elite: Berlin 1945

No. 10 Flames swept by No. 12 Oakland with 9-3 setback
February 9, 2013 | Lynchburg, Va.
Two shorthanded goals on the same power play midway through the first period gave Oakland (Mich.) University all the momentum it needed to complete a two-game sweep of the Liberty University Division I men's hockey team, Saturday night at the LaHaye Ice Center.
For the second straight night, the Flames gave up three goals in the first period. Liberty was then mauled by the Grizzlies for six goals in the second before the Flames finally caught fire to score three of their own in the third. The 9-3 loss was their third in four tries against Oakland this season and third in a row after defeating Delaware last Friday night. Delaware beat the Flames in the rematch the following night.
Less than a minute after freshman forward Anthony Terzo was sent to the Grizzlies' penalty box in the first period, senior forward Brian Baker stole the puck behind the Flames' goal and sent a short pass to David Merkle. He fed it back to Baker in the right crease for an open-net score after Liberty goalie Clayton Brown was drawn out of position.
A minute later, Baker started a two-man breakaway down the left wing, leaving five Flames in his tracks before working another give-and-go with Merkle. Baker received a return pass in the left crease for an easy finish past the sprawling Brown for a 2-0 advantage.
Back at even strength, Liberty (21-13-2) unleashed a couple furious rounds of shots on Oakland's goal over the next five minutes, with a few by Ryley Egan and Brent Boschman hitting pipes or the crossbar, but none finding the net.
"That's the thing that's so frustrating, because I think we had four, at least four pipes, two or three side pipes, one crossbar, and if those go in, it's a different story," Flames assistant coach Jeff Boettger said.
The Grizzlies (20-15-2) countered by converting a third first-period goal with 2:35 left when Billy Balent punched in a perfectly placed cross-ice assist from Anthony Colizza in the right crease beyond Brown, who tripped over one of his own defensemen.
Oakland, which beat Liberty 7-6 in the 2006 DII national championship game before moving up to DI the following season and defeating five-time champion Penn State for the title, added four more goals in the first 10 minutes of the second period, showcasing textbook stickwork and crisp passing combinations.
Posting up in front of Brown, Drew Parus used his stick to chop at an oncoming shot taken by Ian Jacobs from up top, deflecting it deftly into the net for a commanding 4-0 advantage.
Three minutes later, with the Grizzlies back on a power play after Lindsay LeBlanc pulled an Oakland player down from behind, Frank Matyok and Balent threaded passes through the crease to Colizza, who tallied his first goal of the night. Less than 30 seconds after that, Zach Tuchklaper retreated to the defensive end and sent a backwards pass up ice to Patrick Smiatacz, who beat Brown to the upper netting on a breakaway.
Matyok added two more goals with the Grizzlies on a 5-on-3 power play and Adam Novack pocketed a slapshot into the top shelf from the left circle as Oakland opened a gaping 9-0 lead with 5:00 left in the second.
Boettger said the Flames have to learn not to get chippy when their chips are down, but to respond in a positive way as they did with the three third-period goals.
"That's the tough thing, the mental resilience, the mental battle, willingness to let it roll off your back a little bit," he said. "That's a key attribute that you have to cultivate, whether it's coaches, or players. That's something that goalies learn early because when they let one in, they're the last line of defense (so) they've got to learn to let it roll off their back and forget about it and stop the next puck. In the same sense, we have to know that when you hit posts and things like that, it's not the end of the day, the game's not over. You're generating chances, you're right there."
He understood why Liberty's players were upset, on the losing end of a lopsided score, and noted the physical play and provocations came from both sides.
"You have the offensive opportunities that aren't being converted and then it seems like every time they're getting a chance, they're putting the puck in the net," he said. "They're a great team, they battle hard. Their shooting was dialed in tonight. They're a tough physical team and they use their sticks well and their elbows and all that, but so do we. It goes both ways."
Liberty finally ended the shutout when Egan sneaked a wraparound shot from behind the right side of the cage between goalie Corey Hrischuk's leg and the post just 15 seconds into the third period.
Undaunted by the deficit, the Flames rallied for two more scores in quick succession with LeBlanc finishing them both. He cleaned up a shot by Scott Morogell that bounced in the goalie box, poking the puck past Hrischuk with 10:30 to play, before receiving a pretty pass from Boschman from behind the cage and putting it away with a powerful shot in the right crease with 9:41 to go.
"We're preparing and getting ready for what will be a tough road, no matter what," Boettger said. "To see the third period be played out like it is where we just had more patience and we were a little more focused around the net, it's a very positive thing. It was really a tough weekend, it was a step back in some ways, but God's preparing us for something big. Who knows, maybe a miracle."
"Definitely," freshman forward Bram Erickson said of the Flames regrouping for the playoffs. "We've just got to come together a little more, work as a team."
After hosting a live webcast of the 16th and final ACHA DI poll of the season, which will determine seedings for the March 1-6 national tournament in Chicago, Liberty will conclude its regular season next Friday and Saturday at LaHaye with a rematch against West Virginia, a team it swept last month in Charleston, W.Va.

A Bumper Crop of Seed Catalogscomments (3) December 3rd, 2009
If you've been gardening for several seasons, you probably have your favorites: a core group of trusted varieties you grow year in and year out for their reliability and their flavor. I, for example, always grow Chioggia beets and Sun Gold tomatoes. But if I grew only those, gardening—and dining—it would get boring. There is always room in my garden for something else, something weird, something I've never tried before. That's why I look forward every fall to the arrival of the seed catalogs.
|We're reviewing seed catalogs as fast as we can. See more catalog reviews at FineGardening.com
Well before the mailbox fills up with holiday sales flyers and cards, the seed catalogs start to trickle in. I don't have time to take a serious look until after Thanksgiving, when the leaves are off the lawn and the garden is put to bed. I'm in the habit of reading after supper, and the new seed catalogs, with their perfect photos and inspirational descriptions, are a treat to be savored, along with a cup of hot tea and a fire in the little woodstove.
For northern gardeners, winter is the dream season: no weeds, bugs, no blight, just visions of a perfect little vegetable patch. And the catalogs are the wish books. My current obsession is goji (wolfberry), the latest "superfood" from China. Do I really have room for another 10-foot-tall shrub? Do I really want to pick even more berries? These are the decisions we make in the cold season, when the garden is a blank slate and everything seems possible.

http://www.kitchengardenseeds.com/. I ordered my seeds on a Monday and received them that same week. The artwork on the seed packets is beautiful and growing instructions are great. They have also taken the Safe Seed Pledge. I also like Renee's Garden Seeds. I like Park Seeds but the catalog hasn't even come yet so they are out of luck this year.

Game Info
Harvard vs. Columbia
Game Info
Harvard vs. Cornell
The Storyline
Alone atop the Ivy League standings and defending a 19-game home winning streak, Harvard women's basketball readies to take on Columbia and Cornell at Lavietes Pavilion this weekend. Both games can be seen on the Ivy League Digital Network. The Crimson and Lions are set for a Valentine's Day tip at 7 p.m. Harvard will 'Pack the House' against Cornell (6 p.m.), wearing pink warm-ups and shoelaces for its annual Pink Zone and Play4Kay day.
Last Time Out
Harvard went 2-0 last weekend, handily defeating Brown, 91-71, before holding on to escape Yale with a 58-57 win. Junior forward Erin McDonnell exploded in the second half against the Bulldogs, posting her first career double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Earning the program's 600th victory in Providence, senior captain Christine Clark posted 19 points and five rebounds to lead the Crimson to its second 90-plus point outing this season.
First to 600
Harvard recorded the 600th win in program history on Feb. 7, 2014 against Brown. Harvard was the first Ivy League school and first Division I program in Massachusetts to accomplish the feat. The Crimson was also the first Ivy program to 500 wins (Jan. 30, 2009 against Penn). The Crimson currently sits at 601-437.
The Hunt For #12
Through five-plus games of the Ivy League season, three teams have recorded just one loss, with Harvard sitting alone atop the Ancient Eight standings. The Crimson owns a 5-1 conference record, while Penn and Princeton sit at 4-1. After traveling for much of the months of January and February, the Crimson can settle in – playing six of the final eight conference games at home.
Just Keep Winning
Harvard owns a home win streak of 19 games, marking the second-longest run all-time. From 1996-98, the Crimson ripped off 22-straight wins at Lavietes – the record for the Crimson. Harvard posted a perfect 11-0 record at home in 2012-13 and has not lost in Cambridge since Feb. 11, 2012. Before 2012-13, the last time Harvard went unbeaten at home was in 1997-98 when the team went 13-0 en route to a 23-5 overall mark.
Scouting Columbia
2013-14 RECORD: 4-16, 1-5 Ivy League
SERIES HISTORY: Harvard leads, 54-2
LAST MEETING: W, 71-26 (March 12, 2013)
LAST WIN: Same
Streak: W9
• Columbia has lost four-straight after defeating Cornell to open Ivy League play. The Lions nearly edged Penn in their last game out, falling 70-63 Saturday night. Columbia scored more field goals and outrebounded the Quakers, but Penn put away 24 free throws to account for the edge.
• Freshman forward Tori Oliver (10.1) leads a quartet of scorers posting nine-plus points, while pulling down 5.7 boards per game. Classmate Carolyn Binder ranks second on the squad with 9.4 points per game, while senior Courtney Bradford grabs a team-best 6.0 rebounds per game.
• In her first season, head coach Stephanie Glance comes to Columbia after 25 years of collegiate coaching experience, including the last three seasons at Illinois State. The Redbirds appeared in three-straight WNIT appearances, winning 24 games twice.
• Harvard holds a 54-2 all-time series advantage over Columbia, last dropping a game to the Lions on Feb. 14, 2009. A year ago, the Crimson made history at the defensive end of the court, downing the Lions 71-26. The 26 points allowed stands as the fewest ever during Delaney-Smith's tenure, and are the fewest given up since Feb. 24, 1978 when the Crimson defeated Holy Cross, 73-19. In game one of the series, Temi Fagbenle turned in her sixth double-double to pace Harvard with 14 points and 12 rebounds, while also adding two assists and two blocks. Victoria Lippert contributed 15 points and seven boards as nine different Crimson scored.
Scouting Cornell
2013-14 RECORD: 11-9, 3-3 Ivy League
SERIES HISTORY: Harvard leads, 58-11
LAST MEETING: W, 66-56 (March 9, 2013)
LAST WIN: Same
Streak: W11
• Cornell comes into the weekend sitting fifth in the Ivy League standings at 3-3 after dropping two home games to Penn (67-57) and Princeton (71-56) last weekend. The Big Red defense is giving up a stingy 62.8 points per game, a mark good for second overall in the conference.
• Senior forward Allyson DiMagno paces the Big Red with 13.4 points and 8.4 boards per game. Freshman Nia Marshall, coming off her fifth Ivy League Rookie of the Week selection, ranks second on the squad, racking up 12.7 points and chipping in 6.2 rebounds.
• In her 11th season at the helm of Cornell, head coach Dayna Smith is the winningest coach in Cornell history.
• The Crimson leads the all-time series with the Big Red 58-1, including winning 11-straight. Last year, Harvard swept Cornell, winning the first matchup 69-60 in overtime and the second 66-56. A 20-point night from Christine Clark and a double-double by Temi Fagbenle helped lift the Crimson in game two, while Victoria Lippert was the star in game one, posting 19 points, all after halftime.
Milestone Watch
The winningest coach in Ivy League women's basketball history with 510 career victories, head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith ranks second only to Princeton's legendary coach Pete Carril (514) for wins by an Ancient Eight coach on either the men's or women's side. Delaney-Smith also eclipsed 300 career wins in the conference with her 300th coming against Yale Feb. 8.
Delaney-Smith, in her 32nd season at the helm of the Crimson, earned her 500th win at Colgate Nov. 23, joining a group of 28 active coaches in Division I with at least 500 wins. She is also one of six active Division I head coaches to spend 32 years at one institution.
Crimson Colored Ivy
Since women's basketball joined the Ivy League in 1974-75, the Crimson owns a 601-437 record, tops of all Ancient Eight schools. Harvard is the only Ivy League school with a winning record against all other Ivies.
School Overall Wins Harvard vs.
Brown 484 44-33
Columbia 224 54-2
Cornell 370 58-11
Dartmouth 543 43-32
Penn 449 49-23
Princeton 572 40-33
Yale 461 45-30
Double Trouble
Averaging 12.6 points and 9.6 rebounds, Temi Fagbenle has already recorded eight double-doubles through 20 games this season (including six in the last 12 games), the most since Reka Cserny in 2004-05. Fagbenle posted five-straight games with 10-plus in points and rebounds (Dec. 7-Dec. 30), recording the longest consecutive streak of double-doubles since Hana Peljto '04 in 2003-04 (nine).
Fagbenle's first career double-double came opening weekend at North Dakota, making her the first Crimson rookie to record a double-double in her first weekend of action since Peljto went for 21 points and 10 rebounds in the season opener against Saint Peter's on Nov. 17, 2000.
Clark Rises
Shooting up the scoring list, Christine Clark sits at No. 6 in program history with 1,542 points over her three-plus year career. She needs 41 points to pass Erin Maher '93, who sits at fifth all-time with 1,582 points. Clark became the 18th member of Harvard's 1,000 point club Jan. 2, 2012, as she scored 19 points against UMass. Clark reached the milestone in just her 71st career game, making her the fastest Crimson to reach 1,000 points since Reka Cserny '05 did so in her 60th career appearance.
Including this year, Harvard has had at least one 1,000 point scorer on the floor in five of the last six seasons. Additionally, each of Harvard's 18 1,000 point scorers has been coached by head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith.
What a Start
For the second-straight year, Harvard started the season 7-3 record through the first 10 games of the season. It matched the second-best start for the Crimson all-time through 10 games. Harvard has gone 8-2 three times, most recently in 1997-98 en route to a 23-5 overall record and an Ivy League title.
Ivy Openers
Harvard improved to 23-17 all-time in Ivy League openers and 20-12 under head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith with its 73-63 victory over Dartmouth on Jan. 11. It marked the 14th-straight season that the Crimson and Big Green met in the first game of the Ivy League schedule, with Harvard holding a 9-5 edge in those contests.
You Can Count on Clark
Christine Clark has started 105-straight games that she has appeared in over the last three-plus years. Clark ranks first in the Ivy League in most consecutive career games started.
Clark has scored in double-digits 88 times, including 15 times this season. The senior from Tucson, Ariz., is on a run of eight-straight double-digit games. Clark put on a streak of 21 consecutive 10-plus point performances (March 5, 2011-Feb. 4, 2012) and has had 19 games in which she has scored at least 20 (last at Princeton). Clark has posted 20-plus points in seven games in 2013-14.

Kelly Clarkson Shows Off New, Trimmer Figure
Kelly Clarkson showed off her new, trimmer figure at the ABC and Entertainment Weekly Upfront party in New York City this week. Wearing a spring-appropriate, strapless floral frock that accentuated her toned arms and smaller waist, Clarkson, 30, looked amazing.
The 'Stronger' singer also chose a flattering cut to show off her shape with this pretty dress. She has not admitted to any sort of diet or exercise regimen, but it's clear that she has shed some excess pounds and it's most visible in her arms and hips. Looking god, Kel!
She's also growing out her formerly blunt bangs, it seems. It's a move which flatters her face shape, since it's a less severe style.
According to AOL Music, the singer and original 'American Idol' was in town to promote her new reality show 'Duets,' which teams aspiring singers with established stars. The new show premieres on May 24. Clarkson loves her reality competitions, as she also mentored on the second season of 'The Voice.' She has spread her wings beyond the show that made her famous, and she has often maintained that she just wants to sing, as opposed to being a pop star.

Roof repairs and renovation do not have to be weeks of costly labour, scaffolding, dirt and disruption just to end up with a roof prone to similar problems later. The Foamroof polyurethane spray foam roof insulation system provides a stronger, cleaner, insulated roof at a fraction of the cost of re-roofing your property, guaranteed for a Lifetime.
We have been frequently asked about whether our spray foam insulation is fire retardant. Please watch this demonstration to see for yourself.
We specialise in cost effective roof repairs in , long lasting and attractive repairs to roof problems using the latest polyurethane spray foam loft insulation technology.
The key to a successful spray foam roof repair is the preparation. Firstly we complete a roof MOT to identify damaged areas of the roof and repair them first.
If a leak has been ignored or a serious level of deterioration to the structure has occurred, sometimes a reroof is the only option. We are the roofing experts.
"This stuff is ace. Best improvement we have made to the house. It's so much warmer we hardly need to use the heating. Highly recommend"— Andy Smith
To ensure our installations are successful, we conduct a free roof MOT and survey to identify any issues with your roof that need attention. Subject to your approval our technicians will complete any necessary remedial work to a high standard. We then apply the Foamroof Spray Foam insulation treatment to the underside of the roof, either locking the tiles into one solid structure or spraying directly to the felt. This system has been installed in many thousands of homes and is regularly specified by councils, architects and surveyors. Our own nationwide team of technicians are highly trained by Foamroof in strict accordance with the British Urethane Foam Contractors Association (BUFCA) guidelines. You will find our commitment to quality and service is second to none.
Nail fatigue is a common problem with older properties resulting in tiles or slates slipping. You could continue wasting money on costly repairs or you could spend even more on a complete re-roof. Or for less money, better insulation, less hassle and a stronger, longer lasting solution – Foamroof it. We apply the very latest, breathable spray foam insulation. The photos below are more common than you realise.
Another common issue is missing or torn felt. Typically the felt shrinks due to water ingress which then makes the material brittle and reduces it's life. Perhaps you're suffering with condensation or water ingress. Foamroof is a simple and long lasting alternative to a costly re-roof. Our system locks and bonds all of your tiles and replaces your old felt without causing any condensation problems. We use a breathable foam which does not lock in damp or cause other problems. We guarantee our restored roofs to be free from leaks and damage for 10 years.
Research published by the Department of Energy & Climate Change entitled, 'An investigation of the effect of EPC ratings on house prices', has found that a 'B-rated' house in the North East can achieve an additional £19,000, when compared to a similar 'D-rated' house. When upgrading the EPC rating from a 'G' to an 'E' rating property prices in the North East can increase by over £25,000 according to DECC.
"Increasing the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of a property by one or two bands can raise its value by 14% on average" Department of Energy & Climate Change
Don't delay, call us now to arrange a free no obligation survey and MOT of your roof.
Foamroof specialises in reducing your heating bills with our rigid spray foam insulation. Our customers have dramatically reduced their heating bills and also have peace of mind that during our extremes of weather, their roof will be secure and maintenance free, guaranteed for 10 years – backed by an insurance policy, plus a product Lifetime! The Foamroof bespoke system retains over 80% of the heat normally lost through the roof, keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's a lot cheaper than a re-roof.
BBC's Tomorrow's World featured our unique insulation back in 1977 and since then has been successfully installed in thousands of homes throughout the UK. Sprayed directly to the underside of the slates or tiles in your loft it bonds and locks tiles in place guaranteeing a watertight, windproof roof. The Foamroof spray foam insulation system is more efficient than fibreglass due to it's closed cell construction and eliminates the concern of burst pipes as it retains heat in your entire loft space. The Foamroof spray foam is breathable too and eliminates condensation.
Before installing the Foamroof spray foam insualtion system your roof must be prepared. Our surveyors visually inspect the roof coverings in detail and own roofing teams then make all the necessary repairs. That's why we have a guarantee covering the quality of our workmanship for 10 years. The Foamroof spray foam insulation system is a two-component system which when sprayed onto tiles/slates expands into the roofing joints creating an insulated layer to the underside of the roof. This stops heat from escaping and enables heat to distribute efficiently back into the home. Far cheaper and more efficient than re-roofing. Guaranteed.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Amanda Sturgeon AIA, LEED Co-Director Sustainable Design Initiative at Perkins+Will about the new LEED performance data mandates, LEED v3, and the LEED Platinum certified Ohlone Community College.
Perkins+Will is a leader in green building design and has worked on many notable LEED projects including One Haworth Center (one of TIME's top green architecture projects), and two of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) top ten green projects of 2009: the Great River Energy Headquarters and Synergy at Dockside Green.
The following is an email interview conducted with Ms. Sturgeon on September 24, 2009.
What are your thoughts on the performance data mandate?
The performance data mandate is a great addition and one that is overdue. USGBC has been receiving criticism for a while on how LEED buildings perform and this initiative will reduce those critiques which often give LEED or a particular building a bad reputation that is not justified. The industry needs to know how sustainable strategies actually work when operating and without this information it is mostly estimates that we rely on or the modelers expertise. This is an overdue mandate that will also benefit the building owner, it's a win for all involved.
The design process will need to change to be more research based. This is something that designers have been asking for, for a while but the data and facts on performance were just not there. With better performance measuring there will be a feedback loop that can improve the selection of design strategies based on what we know works and does not work.
We have 140 projects currently registered under LEED that are in progress. Approximately half of those will probably be certified under the new LEED 3.0 version. Generally we are finding V3.0 to be a relatively easy transition with few differences to the actual point content from the old version. Some projects are finding the energy credits harder to achieve but there are more credits allocated to energy so it is not effecting our ability to achieve LEED levels.
The school's solar power generation prevented 421 tons of CO2 emissions and helped the college achieve a 69% reduction in purchased electricity and a 72% reduction in natural gas consumption compared to similar building's that meet California's Title 24 energy code. California is known for its strict energy efficiency standards and Title 24 is the toughest code in the nation. This building greatly improved upon the mandates set forth by Title 24.
The Ohlone Community College project supports the need for the performance data mandates set forth in LEED v3. The college's LEED application looked great, earning the school Platinum level recognition, but its actual energy savings are fantastic.

Finally updated the main ILMfan site, a bit more simplified but mostly fully responsive, should look better on mobile devices. There are still a few details left, mainly backend. But since there were some significant changes a few things are broken/missing, mainly the project poster preview images and article images. Will try to fix all that before the month ends.

The answer depends on your age and the type of water exercise you're doing. Small children and older people typically prefer pool temperatures to be a little warmer. Swimmers training for competitions may need cooler water, so they won't overheat.
In general, pool temperatures between 83 F (28.3 C) and 88 F (31.1 C) are usually comfortable for most types of water exercise. Pools that are used for physical therapy typically have warmer water to help relax muscles and make stretching exercises easier.
Water exercise is a good choice for people who have arthritis because the buoyancy of the water helps protect joints from weight-bearing impacts.
