I don't have anything to say about the Aurora shooting, so I haven't been saying anything because to say something without saying anything seems kind of — I don't know — cold. So here's a tiny little post to say nothing other than I've been thinking about what happened, the victims, guns, love and hate, that time I almost encountered a shooter, and WTF we're supposed to do about shit like this.

The Long, Hot, Colorado Summer
Colorado is pretty much a total shitstorm right now. It's been in the 90s and 100s for days, and the hot temperatures will continue into the foreseeable future (the current weather.com 10-day forecast has Denver in the 90s until next Tuesday). Wildfires are raging and people are being shot and killed in and around our neighborhood.
As you know if you've been reading here, Ben, Soren, and I go to City Park Jazz all the time. Everybody knows that if you want to find us on a Sunday evening, we're probably there. Fortunately, we didn't go last night.
Things have changed since we started going several years ago. Three or four years ago, we used to see well-choreographed gang displays. One week, a group of guys wearing red would get up and walk around the park. The next week, it would be a group of guys wearing blue. The next week, it would be both groups. I remember sitting there thinking, crap, if these guys wanted to start something, what would we do?
It's been more crowded these days with less (or at least less blatant) gang activity and less potential violence — or so I thought. But last night, an off-duty Denver police officer who was trying to break up a fight as the concert was ending was shot in the head and killed.
A commenter on denverpost.com described the incident:
Since most of the news outlets are having trouble recreating what happened I can tell you what it was like to the South of the lake. If you've never been to Jazz in the Park before, it is a fairly segregated environment with the black crowd up to the North and the "wine and cheese yuppies" on the south side of the lake. There is some mixture around the stage area and around the boat house where there are a lot of people milling around. I think this is probably where the incident occurred.
We heard about 3 shots, then a couple more. People started looking around wondering if there was a shooting. The music stopped. We sat back down on the grass then the announcement came "Everyone needs to go to the South side of the park for your safety." After about a minute, a crowd of mostly young white girls were running panicking towards our location, which is when people got really freaked out.
I figured it was probably some gang banger s*** and that we likely weren't in any real danger. On the other hand, those bullets could have ended up in the crowd just about anywhere. The amount of emergency vehicles and police presence after the incident was unbelievable. Now I understand why. I think if they want to continue this event they will need to step up the number of uniformed officers in the area.
I, like a lot of people, won't be going back to this event this year. RIP to the slain officer.
This is tragic and crazy. If you're not familiar with City Park, it's one of the biggest parks in Denver. It's not, if you ask me, considered dangerous as alleged by some of the commenters on news stories about last night's shooting.
This shooting happened just a month after two men, Deon T. Rudd and Justin O'Donnell, were shot and killed at York St. and Bruce Randolph in the middle of the day. The good news is that two suspects have been arrested and charged in that case. Another young man, De'Quan Walker-Smith, was shot and killed at 29th and Franklin in March.
What the fuck is going on, Denver? Shit like this always makes me wonder what we're doing living where we live, where people get shot. But what do you do? So you live in the city, where people get shot. Or you live in the suburbs and you have Columbine. Or you live in an idyllic little college town and get Jerry Sandusky. Or you're in or near the mountains and your entire neighborhood burns to the ground. Shit happens everywhere. I suppose the best way to deal with it is to be careful without being paranoid and live your life as best you can.

Rollin Michael Oliver, suspect in DPD ofc. shooting is a known gang member who claims gang affiliation according to Brian Maass.

Your Moral Compass
Something I want my son to learn: Do the right thing. You will know what this is. Do what's right even when it's awkward, hard, lonely, frightening, or dangerous.
You've probably heard all you need to hear and more about what's going on at Penn State. I thought I'd heard all I needed to hear and more but sat glued to the tv yesterday, unable to look away except to turn to Google now and then to get more details. If you want to get more details, I recommend reading the Grand Jury Report (this is very detailed and exceptionally disturbing) (I always recommend reading the original documents related to something like this when possible). There's also a really good post about the situation here.
As a former criminal defense attorney, I take the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing very seriously. I'm not going to play judge and jury. I'm not going to sit here and condemn anyone involved, as much as doing so might give me (as a mother of a young son and a sports fan) some level of emotional satisfaction.
What I will do is talk about what we can learn from Penn State.
There is nowhere in the world where these kinds of horrible things don't happen. There is no person or type of person who is always good all the time.
If you walk in on an adult engaged in any sort of sexual activity with a child, the right thing to do is: (1) remove the child from the situation if it is physically possible to do so; and (2) immediately go to the police. If somebody reports to you that he or she witnessed an adult engaged in any sort of sexual activity with a child and you believe he or she is telling the truth, the right thing to do is: (1) immediately go to the police.
The reason I say "immediately" is that something so simple can become so complicated as soon as you let it sit for any period of time. And the right people to go to are the police — not your father and not your boss (although feel free to tell them, too). The police.
Do the right thing even if it requires speaking out against your co-worker, boss, coach, significant other, spouse, parent, child, sibling, friend, idol, or favorite blogger. Nobody is above or exempt from the right thing. Do the right thing even if people call you a snitch, tattletale, bully, hater, or troll. Don't ever be afraid to question anyone and call out bad behavior when you see it.
I'm worried about the state of the right thing today. Right now, the world is a place where too often, people are more concerned about covering their own asses or the figurative asses of their institutions or being 100% positive and supportive of their loved ones all the time no matter what than they're concerned with doing the right thing. Don't be part of that.
Don't you know, in your heart and in your mind, what you'd do if you walked in on some dude raping a child? Isn't preventing further tragedy for that child and for other children more important than whatever is going to happen to you as a result of doing the right thing? Quoting myself is gross, but I said this on Twitter yesterday: "I love my job but dudes, if I had to get fired for calling the police after seeing/knowing about child sex abuse, I'd do it. I mean, duh?"
If your moral compass is telling you "duh," listen to it. Do the right thing. Always.
Just another day in the 'hood….
This morning, Ben came in from taking out the garbage (this involves taking the garbage down to the end of the alley and putting it in a dumpster) and said, "You might want to turn on the scanner." Apparently, he had just seen a Jeep driving really, really, really fast down Bruce Randolph toward Downing, with police in pursuit.
By the time I had the scanner up and running, I heard stuff like: 22nd and Downing, someone shot in the head and shoulder, suspect down, and hey let's all switch to the secret police channel where people can't listen to us. I was all ????
Apparently this is what was happening. Well, shit.
This kind of stuff is hard for me to process sometimes. I mean, here's the thing. I'm a hippie. I'm never in favor of people being killed. I used to be a public defender. I know how the system is stacked against you if you're accused of a crime.
The thing is, though, and I have to be honest now even if it's not what I would consider appealing. I have a kid. I live in the hood. I worry about shit like home invasion. I worry about shit that happens to completely innocent people in this neighborhood. I'm never in favor of people being killed. But if I'm really honest, which I have to be because if I'm not really honest what am I, I'm not going to cry any tears for this guy who, assuming what I've read and heard is true, invaded a home in my neighborhood, tied up a man, sexually assaulted a woman and did something that resulted in her bleeding from her face and screaming naked on her porch, stole her car, drove at a high rate of speed through a residential neighborhood where innocent people live with their families (this I know for a fact because Ben saw it himself), and was shot in the head and killed.
I don't like having feelings like this. It's hard, sometimes, to balance the rage I felt as a public defender representing people who were pulled over and charged with crimes for completely bullshit reasons, more often than not because of their race, with the feelings I have living in the hood where terrible, awful crimes are committed all the time and more often than not, the perpetrators are never caught. I want to be careful to try to maintain the middle ground here, to never be swayed to one extreme or the other. It's not always easy.
Sometimes I have terrible dreams. They usually involve a large-scale attack on me and real or imaginary people I'm with by people or entities who are evil in some way and want to either kill us or hurt us and make us evil. I don't know if this is something that happens to people who worry about shit like this or whether it's a reflection of my general anxiety level, which to tell you the truth has been pretty high lately and I'm not sure I can tell you why other than that's just what happens to me sometimes. I try to keep it in check, you know? It's not always easy, but I consider it my job as a human to try to do it to the best of my ability, whatever that means. If we're not trying to make ourselves better, what are we doing?
I just checked in at Murder Park.
Last night, I listened to the police scanner for hours. I couldn't sleep. Soren was doing this thing he does sometimes where he sleeps for a few hours and then something like this happens: Cry. Quiet. Cry. Quiet. Cry. Crycrycrycry scream! That's when you go in to see what he needs. Most of the time, he's kind of still asleep while this is happening — he's crying with his eyes closed and you go in there and he doesn't open his eyes and you don't want to do much because you don't want to totally wake him up. Eventually you give him some milk even though you don't want to give him milk in bed but it's the only thing that works. He wakes up enough to drink the milk and then is quiet for a while, until the whole cycle starts over again.
Variations of this cycle occurred from midnight to 3 a.m. last night. Ben can sleep through it until I make enough noise to wake him up because I feel like I'll go crazy if I don't get some sleep. I can't sleep through it. I'll be drifting off, finally, and then the first "Waaaaah!" has me wide awake, where I remain in some fight-or-flight-like state, until after the last "Waaaaah!" of the night has been uttered, whenever that might be.
So I was listening to the police scanner between waaaaahs. Because several people often speak at once on the scanner, it's hard for me to figure out what's happening sometimes. I heard something about a man and a woman who had been parked in a McDonald's parking lot for four hours, and someone inside finally called it in because they were closing the restaurant. I think they sent multiple officers to the McDonald's parking lot. This sounded like it had the potential to be really bad. Nobody sits in a McDonald's parking lot for four hours. There was something else at 29th and Lafayette, but I didn't catch what. I always perk up a little when our 'hood is mentioned.
This morning, I checked the Denver Police twitter stream to find out what happened last night, because I had a really bad feeling about the McDonald's parking lot. I didn't see anything about that, but I did see something about 30th and Lafayette.
Dr. Daniel Hale Williams Park is located at 30th and Lafayette, where one street curves into the other. I didn't even know the name of the park until yesterday, when I added it to Foursquare. (I'm a total dork about adding random neighborhood parks to Foursquare.) It's a tiny park. There are a couple picnic benches, a little play structure, and three swings — two regular and one baby. We took Soren there late yesterday afternoon to go on the swing. We figured we'd try a different park and knew Williams (I keep wanting to refer to it as Kevin McHale Park, or at least I did before I came up with a better nickname) has baby swings. Well, a baby swing. Just one.
I didn't realize, or I forgot, that this park is a big-time hangout. One picnic table was filled with youngish guys, two of whom were shooting craps. Somebody was smoking terrible weed. One of the young guys was wearing a White Sox hat. I never know what this means any more. Older guys were sitting at the other table. One of them walked around the park picking up trash. He said "hi" to us. Whoever had been smoking weed stopped while we were there with the baby. The whole time we were there, a guy stood on 29th, away from everybody else. I'm not sure what he was doing. Cars and SUVs with booming bass drove by or parked and the people got out and came to the park.
It was — and I'm not sure how to write about this without sounding like an asshole, which I'd really like to avoid here — definitely a situation where we were out of place. I wasn't worried about the people at the park. They weren't interested in messing with us. What I was worried about were the people out there, assuming they exist, who have a problem with the people at the park. Like that guy who just drove by in the SUV. That guy made me nervous. But I don't know. I watch a lot of The First 48 and have an overactive imagination.
I don't know whether the better course of action would've been to not stop at the park in the first place. I don't know. When you bring your kid to the park and there are people who are different from you in whatever way there, aren't you kind of an asshole if you just leave? I mean, the act of putting our kid on a swing isn't a big statement or anything, but isn't that sometimes the right thing to do, even if you feel weird about it?
We didn't stay at the park for very long — just long enough for Soren to swing for a while and grab a few pine cones that he'd obsessively carry around for the next hour and for me to add the park to Foursquare. I told Ben I'd like to become mayor of the park, which shouldn't be hard to accomplish. One more check in and I'd have it.
We walked past what had become a decent crowd by one of the picnic tables and headed up Lafayette. I told Ben I thought it would be kind of cool if we had a neighborhood hangout like that park, where you could just show up whenever and someone would be there. Our people, if you want to be that way (and I really don't, but I have to be honest) don't do stuff like that. We hang out in our yards and, at least if you're us, are pretty isolated from our neighbors. Williams Park said something interesting to me during our short time there. I'm not sure exactly how to interpret it.
Anyway, back to the Denver Police Twitter stream. When I checked it this morning, I saw:
BREAKING: DPD Offcrs and Dets are investigating a homicide at Williams Park (2952 N Lafayette St)
Here's the related article from The Denver Post:
Man shot to death in Denver's Dr. Daniel Hale Park
A man was shot to death in a Denver park tonight and his assailant fled in a black sport-utility vehicle.
The victim has not been identified. He died after being shot multiple times about 8 p.m. in Dr. Daniel Hale Park at 3000 North Lafayette St., said police spokesman Sonny Jackson.
"There may have been multiple witnesses in the park who ran away," Jackson said. "We're hoping they will come back and talk to us."
Jackson said it appeared the shooter got out of the SUV at the street, walked into the park and had a conversation with the victim, before he pulled out a pistol and began shooting.
Anyone with information can call Denver police at 720-913-2000 or call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tips also can be sent by text to CRIMES (274637) then title DMCS, or by e-mail to metro-denvercrimestoppers.com.
So, approximately three hours after we were hanging out at this park with our kid, somebody was murdered there. I don't know who it was or whether it was someone we saw yesterday. I don't know why it happened or who did it. I don't know what would've happened if we'd been at the park at the time. I don't know why this shit happens. I just — I just don't know.
I've heard about people running races, like today's Bolder Boulder, in memory of loved ones. We didn't run a race this morning — Ben, Soren, Peaches, and I just went for a run through the 'hood, down to and around City Park. It doesn't count for anything, but I ran in memory of the guy who was killed in my neighborhood last night, whoever he was. I'm sorry that happened. I hope there's something we can do to make it better.
Update: On June 3, 2011, the victim was identified as Richard Eugene McDaniel. He was 40 years old.
Crime in the 'Hood
Yesterday afternoon as we walked home from Curtis Park, we passed a guy on 33rd wearing a red baseball hat cocked to the right. At the same time, a car drove by (and you could kind of say it drove by deliberately, whatever that might mean) and I noticed that the driver was wearing a red baseball hat. (I didn't see what team was on the hat in either case.) "Hey," I said to Ben, "what's up with all these guys wearing red hats?" I hadn't noticed a proliferation of red-hatted, young-ish, male individuals in our neighborhood before, and I always notice things like that, as a sports fan and as someone who knows something about gangs.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the rest of the story.
My usual procedure after hearing gunshots while at home (Isn't it awesome that I have a usual procedure for that?) involves second-guessing myself (especially during the summer, when life is but a game of "gunshots or fireworks" and you're never sure what you jut heard) and then turning on the police scanner to make sure somebody called the police. Last night around 8:30, the gunshots were close enough and numerous enough for me to jump off the couch, look out the front window to see several people running like hell from the basketball court, and call the fuck out of 911. It's amazing how wound up I get in this situation and how I'm capable of breathlessly confusing streets that go north/south and streets that go east/west. I overestimated the number of gunshots (Ben, a more reliable narrator, said it was maybe 8 at most). While I was on the phone, we saw the first of the flashing lights coming from the east side.
Soon after this incident, an ambulance sped away from the scene. There were many police cars and the area was taped off for approximately 2.5 hours.
When things like this happen in the hood (Look, can I get over feeling bad about saying we live in "the hood" now? I always feel kind of bad about saying it and then I act like I'm nudge-nudge-wink-winking when I say we live in "the hood," like yeah we're from Chicago where you better recognize and it's The Hood, but fucked if I'm not raising my toddler in a neighborhood where gunshots are spraying over streets I can see from my house and if I want to call this the hood I'm just going to do it and be okay with it) I go through the whole range of emotions. Ben and I had a fun night after we calmed down and Soren went to bed and we talked about how this shit fucking sucks. I'm mad. I'm mad at the assholes shooting guns anywhere but especially here and the fact that the world sucks so much this is what happens to people sometimes and that we don't have wads of cash we can use to move somewhere this doesn't happen all the time but won't kill our edgy urban "we're way too cool for the suburbs no really" spirit and that so many crimes in Denver go unsolved and apparently it's unsafe for us to be out in our neighborhood at 8:30 in the evening and that it's the fucking wild west out here where people act like it's offensive to pay money for things like schools and the police and I'm powerless to do anything but shake my tiny fist at the raging injustice of the whole situation (Am I?) and I could go on and on but I'm pretty sure you get the point.
Aside from all that, do you want to know what really put my rage in high gear last night? The fact that I can't find out what the hell happened.
I knew a shooting in the hood wasn't likely to make the news, but I shuffled around the 10:00 news offerings last night anyway. I saw stories about a guy getting arrested on an airplane, a toddler drowning in Boulder (tragic), something about child abuse, Denver Broncos cheerleaders, and Texas wildfires. Of course there was nothing about a shooting in the hood. I knew this would be the case — I didn't see any news teams near where the shooting occurred — but my stupid false hopes made me watch.
Today I looked around on the internet and found nothing. I @ed the Denver Police on Twitter (to their credit, they asked me the time and location of the incident I was asking about, and I assume and hope they'll get back to me eventually).* There was nothing on the news and there is nothing on the internet about the shooting that occurred on April 9, 2011 around 8:30 p.m. in the area of Bruce Randolph and Franklin and/or Gilpin in the Cole neighborhood of Denver.
I know at least Fox 31 knows this neighborhood exists, because they were out here once when a tree landed on a fence during a storm. (To their credit and if I recall correctly, I'm pretty sure Fox 31 was the only outlet to even mention the last shooting that occurred in our neighborhood.)
What the fuck? It's not just shootings in the hood. I think shootings anywhere in a city should be newsworthy. I'd like to know when shit like this happens in my neighborhood. I mean really, think of how many times this happens and we're not home or awake and we never know about it. Apparently there was more gunfire around 5 this morning (according to a neighbor, it sounded like a war zone out there) but we slept through it. No one person can be all eyes and ears all the time. We need to have someone to rely on, to keep us informed.
As much as I love having something to rage and bitch about, I'd like to use my anger to do something useful. I'd like to help make this situation better, at least in terms of allowing people to be informed of what's going on in their neighborhoods. My first idea was to contact local news media and ask why they don't cover stories like this. But then I realized that they probably don't give a shit about these stories (if they did, they'd be covering local crimes instead of wildfires in Texas) and maybe this is another indication that traditional news media are fading into oblivion before they die. And that's fine.
This is the age of DIY. I think it's up to us — the people — to figure out a way to take control of the information about what's happening around us in our neighborhoods. There has to be a way for this to happen, whether it's something sophisticated like a super-local, micro-news show or whether it's something as simple as a website where people can post about news as it happens. Maybe this already exists and I haven't found it — I'll be looking over the next few days. If it doesn't, we'll have to figure it out.
Feel free to email me at fanmail at hitbyapitch.com if you want to get involved and/or have ideas. Or if you know what the hell happened in my neighborhood last night.
This is a good rage song:
*The Denver Police did get back to me: "a man was shot two times while driving in the 1600 block of E. Bruce Randolph. Victim is stable." My thoughts are with the victim and his family. Now I'm wondering whether the shooter is someone from the 1600 block of E. Bruce Randolph.
Knock knock! It's Mr. Burglar.
According to an article I read online somewhere, the modus operandi of some local burglars involves pounding on doors and then breaking a window to get in the house if nobody answers. If somebody does answer, they'll pretend to be looking for work or donations for some bogus charity. (Note: when I was in college, I had a quasi-boyfriend who worked for one of those left-wing charitable organizations where they actually go door-to-door looking for donations, but then he quit and still went door-to-door looking for donations — classy!)
I'm going to assume that this is what happened before some dude broke a window; climbed over the kitchen sink; went through almost every one of my drawers; threw most of my clothes and lots of random crap all over the floor; terrified the hell out of four of five cats (the elderly deaf one was unfazed); filled his pockets (I assume) with earrings and rings (he cleaned me out of gold earrings, including a pair that was my grandmother's, and took several rings, but somehow left the really good stuff); disconnected and lovingly wrapped our flatscreen LCD TV in a blanket and set it by the back gate; and filled a Vera Bradley (in Nantucket Red, which is the hot pattern for all the felons these days) with my laptop, assorted cords (including the charging base for a Palm Pilot I used almost 10 years ago), a couple cameras, an old cell phone, an empty iPod Shuffle case, the TV manual (but not the remote), a combination lock with no combination (I don't even know what it is), and a neatly folded Jon Garland Chicago White Sox t-shirt.

I still have some samples lying around from a Bottle-Share organized by the Belgium 'Gedeelde Vreugde' forum from 7 of the 8 Whisky Exchange Anniversary bottles. The only one not available at that time for the Bottle-Share was the Japanese Karuizawa 1982. Luckily, I have that bottle sitting on my shelf so in the end, after months and months, there will be a full report eventually.
Lots of dried fruits and lots of wood. A hint of smoke in the background, but something cheesy as well. Weird. There are a lot of spices and still a lot of wood. It reminds me some more typical Japanese whiskies. Anise, wet oak, something fresh. There is a LOT going on here. Pine cones and resin.
The taste builds gradually to a fairly massive crescendo. I get some lemonade (the lemon-lemonade, in Dutch lemonade is a general term ;-)) but also a hint of something viscous, almost greasy. Lots of spices again, cinnamon, ginger. Quite dry later on but also peaches, peppers, plums and. Beefy as well.
The finish also build up at first. It starts off quite gentle but intensifies quickly. Dry and dusty with a lot of sweetness. Again, very spicy. Again, beefy. I also get a hint of tree bark.
This is one intense dram. There is so much going on that I usually don't get many flavours. In this case that was different and that made me fall in love with this a little. At some points I thought it would be too much. Too much scents and flavours, too many directions, too woody. But just at the edge to that description it held back a bit.
I'm not sure if the balance is all that perfect, but I simply love the more or less endless journey you can take within this whisky to discover everything that's going on!
Longmorn 1969-2009, 39 years old, 57.7%, used to be available at The Whisky Exchange for about € 225.

Navy tops Cornell 6-5 in the quarterfinals of the NCAA lacrosse tournament.
This used to be a Navy blog. I don't know what it is now.
Navy tops Cornell 6-5 in the quarterfinals of the NCAA lacrosse tournament.
#6 Navy Lacrosse tops 4th-ranked Army, 12-9.
Now, about parking…
— Inside Lacrosse is reporting that Richie Meade will be named as the first head coach of the new lacrosse program at Furman. It'll be weird seeing him on another college sideline, but we all knew it would happen at some point. Good for him, and good for Furman.
— Navy won the Patriot League Presidents' Cup for the 2011-2012 academic year. It's the first time Navy has won. Bucknell had won the last six, with the Mids finishing second in five of those years. Navy doesn't play Patriot League football, field hockey, or softball, and only recently added women's lacrosse and women's tennis. Both of those programs have become very successful very quickly, and their rise (along with the rise of women's programs in general) helped to finally push Navy over the top. I've never worried much about the Presidents' Cup, but it's a nice to get a bit of affirmation for a great year by the athletic department.
— Speaking of the rise of women's lacrosse, Cindy Timchal shall now be addressed as Hall of Famer Cindy Timchal.
— Not all the news is good. As the kids say, "smh." Sperry had dropped on the depth chart this spring thanks to the rise of Jonathan Wev, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have fought back. At the very least he would've provided experienced depth for a defense that had none last year. I hate the offseason.
— On to the conference expansion mess… The headline here says "Texas AD not for expanding," but that's not really the impression I get from reading the article. The way I read it, DeLoss Dodds is just trying to remain noncommittal, either for the sake of not tipping his hand or just not wanting to set off a firestorm of rumors based on his comments. Like this. I do believe that Big 12 expansion is far from a given, though, especially after their recent monster television deal. Would Florida State and Clemson really add that much value? Would a championship game make enough money to offset splitting television revenue by two (or more) additional teams? Maybe, but I don't know if that's a certainty. Let's hope not.
— The Big East's league meetings are wrapping up today, but there is plenty to talk about already through days 1 & 2:
I went to the Navy vs. Lehigh lacrosse game on Friday night along with around 2,200 of my closest friends. That's about 500 more people than attended the Navy vs. Holy Cross game last weekend, despite a cold, wet night on a day the temperatures never seemed to break out of the 40's. And by the end of the evening it was the Lehigh fans that were cheering the loudest as their Mountain Hawks closed out a 9-4 victory over the Midshipmen.
It was a tale of one quarter going well for the Mids followed by three quarters of Lehigh dominance. One could say it was a game of missed opportunities for Navy, but that really just applies to the first 20 minutes. During that time, Navy built a 4-1 lead, but they also had a number of quality looks that missed and a few turnovers after stall warnings were called. Even if they converted all those chances, it still would have been difficult to pull out a victory given their performance over the final three quarters.
To put it plainly, Lehigh dominated the final 45 minutes. Their defense showed why it is ranked #1 in the country, holding Navy to just 7 shots in the 2nd half and not allowing a goal after the 12-minute mark in the 2nd quarter. Wickham had some nice saves, but as I tweeted during the game, you're not going to win many games when you're allowing multiple goals from 10+ yards out (Lehigh had at least 3 of those by my count). Combine that with a couple of second-chance goals by the Mountain Hawks off of juicy rebounds, and you've dug yourself a deep hole.
Ok, so enough about the nuts and bolts of the game. There are a couple of more meta things I'd like to address. The first is the stall warning issue. There are those who say college lacrosse needs a shot clock. To them, I say balderdash. Well, balderdash to a degree. Tonight exemplified what is wrong with the stall warning in college lacrosse – it's purely subjective. There were times where Navy was given stall warnings after 60 or so seconds of possession on offense. And there was a time where Lehigh held the ball for over two minutes before they were given a stall. This creates an unequal situation for teams to deal with and leaves players unable to tell what they need to do to stay off the stall. The solution I see is not a shot clock, but a stall clock.
My proposal, had I a voice to use, would be a 45-second (not married to that number) stall clock. This would start the moment a team touched the ball inside the offensive box. If the team takes a shot before the clock expires, it automatically resets. After it expires, a stall warning is issued and the possession proceeds as it does under today's rule. But you know how long you have before the stall comes into play every single time. A shot clock would suggest a turnover if the ball is not shot, and while that may be OK for the few elite players that make up the pro teams, it's not a good idea for college. Just like the Princeton and other slow-moving offenses help equalize games in college basketball, a good controlling offense that can take the air out of the ball can help level the lacrosse playing field. Teams need to be allowed to possess for extended periods of time – refs don't need to be given control over a game that is purely based on their opinion. Opinion is about as opposite from a rule as you can get. It's time to end this nonsense.
And while we're addressing delays in the game, can we please do something about mass midfield substitutions? There were times tonight where teams spent nearly a minute switching players in and out as they transitioned from defense to offense. Maybe this is my first crotchety old man rant, but what ever happened to middies who can play both ways? I understand specialization, but when we spend over half an offensive possession just making sure we're getting the right guys on the field, it loses something. Imagine having a middie who plays both ways as you transition to defense. Now the offense has to go a man down for a few seconds just to get their switch in and expose themselves to a double team, or they leave their non-offensive mid on the field and have to deal with a less than ideal situation. When I played, we ran lines much like hockey teams do. You'd do subs on horns from balls going out or after goals. Not every time the ball crossed midfield. Then again, maybe it's just me that's annoyed by this.
Finally, I'm going to give what some may call a sour grapes moment, but I was tweeting about it before we started losing. Lehigh sent their entire team, even the goalie, to the Navy goal for high fives every time they scored. I thought it was a low rent move, and one that caused delays in faceoffs. Many times Navy was set and ready to go while Lehigh was walking back to their defensive positions. Just something that I noted early on and hoped would be greeted by a little more wood being laid on hits. But in the end, the Navy team looked like it just wanted to get out of there after failing to back up such a promising 1st quarter. Such is life – onwards and upwards to Maryland on Friday at College Park.

Original Article: Breaking Christian News
"There is nothing empowering to women about bringing abortion-on-demand up to the moment of birth to New York. In a day and age when females can be killed in utero simply for the crime of not being male, it is a mockery of what our feminist foremothers stood for to try and force this on New Yorkers. Women's rights must begin in the womb, or women have no rights at all." - Lori Kehoe, Executive Director, NY State Right to Life

James had fallen on hard times.
He totaled his car and he was living in a shelter in Atlanta. His wallet was empty. There was no money for a bus, certainly none for a cab. And that posed a significant problem.
James was supposed to report to a court in Lilburn, Ga. to resolve a traffic citation – some 29 miles away.
Failure to appear could have resulted in a warrant for his arrest. So James decided to do what needed to be done -- he would walk.

Sarah Silverman celebrated Christmas in her usual mode: mocking Christians, and religion in general. On Twitter, she wrote "Happy Birthday, Jesus! I'm sorry [you] were murdered by people afraid of new ideas!"
Her last HBO special in 2002 was even mockingly titled "Jesus Is Magic." Her new special was called "We Are Miracles." Once again in the new show, she made fun of the death of Jesus, as a Jew: "You're welcome. If we hadn't killed him, he wouldn't even be famous."
Silverman then mentioned Scientology as crazy, but added "its no more bats--t crazy than every single religion. It's just new. Christianity is super-old, but its f---ing crazy." Silverman turned to mocking Catholics and confession. She claimed that Hitler could kill six million Jews, then go to confession, and have a priest say, "no problem, say ten Heil Marys, and Hitler goes to Heaven!"
She also praised the late Mother Teresa for not being obsessed with her body image, then went for the humor by calling her "stick thin," and adding "f—ing bitch."

Tell me who you hang out with and I'll tell you who you are.
Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA), offers this pithy saying as her favorite quote. In order to figure out who the Girl Scouts are, I suppose we must follow Ms. Chávez' logic and look at the organizations that GSUSA associates with.
A good place to start would be the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). WAGGGS has member organizations across the globe, the largest of which is GSUSA, contributing approximately a quarter of the ten million members that belong to WAGGGS. GSUSA is a co-founder of WAGGGS and one of WAGGGS' largest financial supporters, paying over $1 million each year in membership fees which are triggered by each girl and adult member's annual GSUSA registration.
The global organization is a well-known advocate for sexual and reproductive rights, including abortion, for youth, and claims to speak for all of its 10 million members.

Maine Senator Introduces Religious Freedom Bill to Protect the People From the Government
Original Article: Christian News Network By: Heather Clark
AUGUSTA, Maine – A senator in Maine has introduced a religious freedom bill that seeks to protect the people from unlawful government actions.
Senator David Burns (R-Whiting) unveiled the legislation, LD 1428, on Thursday before the Maine House Judiciary Committee. More than 100 supporters gathered outside the state house to rally for the bill, and also participated in the hearing.
"Without sufficient protection for this right, citizens are never more than one judicial opinion away from losing their religious freedom," Burns told the Bangor Daily News.
"I don't for one second think a wooden cross staked into the ground is offensive to the majority of the people that we serve." -Police Chief Jeremy Clark
(Searcy, AR)—Police Chief Jeremy Clark is refusing to take down a cross that was planted on the lawn of the police department in Searcy a year before he took office after the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) contacted him with a request to remove it.
"Someone put it there," said Clark. "I didn't put it there—I don't know who did. I wasn't going to remove it just because this organization in another state told us that we should."
"The only person that sees that cross every day is me," he added, "unless someone is purposely trying to look for it. You can see these crosses in yards all over the community we service. I don't for one second think a wooden cross staked into the ground is offensive to the majority of the people that we serve."

Most of us are so familiar with the cluster of issues that compel the religious right—opposition to gay marriage and abortion, hostility to the separation of church and state, hostility to modernity—that we don't often think about the underlying theme holding these disparate obsessions together. It might even be tempting to believe there isn't a unifying theme, except for the fact that conservatives themselves often allude to it: "civilization collapse."

The Vail Daily News obtained a copy of the police interview with Kobe Bryant. You can read it here.
Here's a little tidbit:
Bryant: "… I can't believe this girl. What does she want from me?"
Winters: "I don't think she wants anything."
Bryant: "Are you kidding me?"
Loya: "What are you willing to give her?"
Bryant: "She has to want, she has to want something (inaudible) she has to want something."
Winters: "What do you mean she has to want something? I don't understand."
Bryant: "She has to have a, she has to have a motive, to do, she has to have a motive to do this."
Winters: "What would be, what do you think her motive is, then?"
Loya: "Are you willing to pay that if she is?"
Bryant: "I got to. I got to. I'm in the worst f**king situation."
He ended up paying – his wife got a multi-million dollar apology ring.

Inside JJ Watt's romantic vacation in Italy with Kealia Ohai
ROME – Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and his girlfriend Kealia Ohai have been globetrotting recently -- and the result is Italy got a little cuter with this Houston power couple around.
Watt posted several photos from the couple's trip to Rome on his Instagram account. The most popular photo was the first posted of Houston Dash soccer star Ohai sitting at the foot of the Trevi Fountain. The caption, simply: "true beauty."
Watt posted several follow-up images – some solo and some with Ohai -- with at least four images taken "Vanity Fair" Magazine style with decadent, 17th century furnishings.
It's unclear whether Watt and Ohai have returned from their romantic Italian vacation, but we'll share updates if there are more photos released.
Watt and Ohai have been dating since 2016.

ATHENS (AFP) - Brazil president Dilma Rousseff has cancelled her visit to Greece to witness the lighting of the Olympic flame, the symbolic start of this year's Rio Games, as she battles impeachment at home.
"We knew that Mrs Rousseff was to come, but the Brazilian ambassador informed us today that she would not be coming for the ceremony," Greek Olympic Committee spokesman Tassos Papachristou told AFP.
The lighting of the flame, at Ancient Olympia in the south of the country, is set for April 21 before being handed over to representatives of the Rio Olympics in Athens on April 27.
Rousseff is accused of breaking the law by juggling government accounts to disguise the depth of budget shortfalls during her 2014 reelection.
However, she argues that this relatively technical accusation does not amount to an impeachable offence.

Insects and other foods the trout may be eating:
1. Blue-winged Olives
2 . Sculpin, baitfish and small crayfish (Imitate with streamers)
3. Midges
Those That Know Me Asked For It, So All Of You, Know Me Or Not, Are
Going to Get It - Extreme, X Rated, Hard Core Fishing Tales
I'm still well ahead of the way I want to proceed with the trout food series I begin
about a month or so ago. I went through some basics and then into Midges and
Winter Stoneflies and held up at that point. I want to proceed with the various things
trout eat in the Smokies as close to the time the trout are most likely to be keying in
on the particular food so it will hopefully be more helpful and meaningful. On the
subject of fishing in the Smokies right now, there's little to write about that can't be
summed up in one word -cold, but that will change beginning today and maybe I'll
have more to write about soon.
One reason everyone enjoys the sport of fishing, has little to do with the actual
"catching" of the fish, and a lot to do with the adventure or the
. Whether your completing in a tournament or for fun; or fishing by
yourself or fishing with some friends; much of the joy usually isn't directly related to
the catch. Over the years I have seen some wild and strange things, been in more
predicaments than I could get out of (some of which I will write about and others I
won't) all of which could probably be summed up as fishing stories. I've written about
a very few of my experiences on this site in the past and I've always received a good
response, or maybe I should say I received a big response. I'm not sure all of it was
good. Anyway, here are some fishing tales for you to hopefully get a kick out of.
Helium Balloon Fishing:
To begin with, I'm sure most of you are wondering what Helium Balloon Fishing is.
Maybe you have heard of Kite Fishing. It's very similar. Kite fishing is something
commonly practiced along the Gold Coast of Florida. I'm not sure where or when it
started but its a fishing method used for saltwater species (although I have tried it in
the Big O lake using shinners for bass but that's another story). It works great for
sailfish, dolpin, wahoo, tuna and king mackerel along with many other species of fish.
Instead of attaching your line to an outrigger on the boat, you attach it to another
line that flies a kite. At the same time the line with a live bait is being put out on one
rod and reel, a line with the kite is put out on another rod and reel called the kite rod
that has a clip on it to which the bait line is attached. When a fish strikes the live
bait, it pulls it out of the clip (normally a standard outrigger clip) and the fish can be
fought as your normally would. The big advantage is that you can present live bait
to fish without them being able to see anything but the baitfish. You can also fish the
baits far away from the boat. It's normally used with live Goggle Eyes (Big Eye
Scad), menhadden, pinfish, and many other small baitfish. The hook is attached to
the baitfish by waxed line by sewing it to the baitfish just under the dorsal fin. The
hook doesn't go into the fish, only a needle with heavy waxed thread that's wrapped
around the hook. This keeps the baitfish alive and active. Since the line comes
down to the water from the kite high above, the sailfish or other species cannot see
anything to do with the rigging, leader, line, etc. You adjust the fishing line and the
kite line, controlled by a separate fishing rod and reel, such that the baitfish is
barely in water at the surface. This keeps it in the water enough to stay alive but
always struggling to get down into the water deeper to get away. This activity
attracts the gamefish. It is a deadly fishing method, but is difficult to control and
takes a lot of practice perfecting.
Kites are best fished when there's a little wind. They can be fished without wind but
you have to keep the boat moving to keep the kites flying and this can get to be
tricky trying keep the boat in position where you want to fish at the same time. It's
much better to head the boat into a wind and you can adjust the exact position of
the baitfish in relationship to the boat and cover the water you intend to cover
better. Someone came up with doing the same thing using large balloons (a foot or
two in diameter). The best way to blow these up is with helium. So, in a South
Florida fishing tackle shop you can usually purchase fishing balloons as well as
kites. Some sell pressurized tanks of helium.
Now to the featured event:
This one guy, a highly experienced big game fisherman whose name I won't dare
mention, was demonstrating the procedure to yours truly so I could make an
instructional video on the entire fishing process. I had done plenty of kite fishing but
this was my first experience at Helium Balloon fishing. We had my cameraman,
another guy that helped out with the fishing, the expert Helium Balloon fisherman I'll
call Mr. X and myself, the intended angler all set up to catch a sailfish off the coast
of Pompano Beach Florida.
We headed out past Pompano Lighthouse and were cruising along slowly to get into
the right area of water for sailfish when Mr. X started to fill up the balloons but first
wanted to demonstrate the effects of Helium on his voice. So, he would put the fill
line from the pressurized helium tank in his mouth and released a small amount of
gas. This makes a person's voice very squeaky.
Let me stop now and say this is
a dangerous deal and shouldn't ever be done. I know kids have done this
and it's very funny, but it is also very dangerous.
Well, Mr. X, showing off on-camera during the entire event, continued to shoot a
little more gas into his mouth and talk.
The more he shot into his mouth, the
longer he could talk funny.
It was very funny and we were all laughing as hard as
we could. I was worried about what he was doing but I knew nothing about it and I
didn't speak up. The last big dose of helium gas he took caused him and the tank to
hit the deck of the boat hard. He was as white as a sheet and we all though he was
dead. My cameraman continued to tape the entire deal. I couldn't shake him back
alive and quite frankly, it scared me to death.
I thought he was dead for what
seemed to be a long time although it probably wasn't.
. The other guy, a
licensed boat captain who was trained in mouth to mouth resuscitation and was
down in position to start kissing Mr. X when Mr. X's eyes opened. I don't know if it
was the fact he was about to be kissed by an ugly man that did the trick or what. For
a minute, he couldn't move or talk. He just looked at us with a very scared, strange
look. The only color left in him was in his eyes. Finally, he came back to full life and
seemed to be okay. It took a little time for me to adjust or recover back to normal. I
could just see the headlines of the Sporting Page in the Pompano Beach paper.
Man dies on-camera from Helium Balloon Fishing. Mr. X now heads a large fishing
product manufacturing company. When I see him, I always ask if he's still hooked on
Helium, knowing, that's the last time he tried that stupid ordeal.

Shilpa gets goose bumps
Looks like Shilpa Shetty is having an overdose of patriotism of late.entertainment Updated: May 03, 2010 02:17 IST
Looks like Shilpa Shetty is having an overdose of patriotism of late, remarks Rapchik Rajni.
She recalls a saheli telling her how Shilpa was getting goose bumps when she went to see Date Night with hubby Raj Kundra at a suburban mutiplex.
Nah, the film didn't give her the heebie-jeebies, but the National Anthem before the film gave her goose bumps. Thank God for caramel popcorn, she became her usual cheerful self and remained till the show ended. After the movie, she got busy with Twitter, asking for suggestions as to what questions she must ask the contestants at a beauty pageant.

Tree Following With Lucy ~ April 2015
Hopes of reporting clouds of frothy white blossom adorning my pear tree have been cruelly dashed as you can gather from the above photo. Records have been checked to confirm that last year blossom was fully open by 13th April but it is lagging behind this year. The flower buds are now clearly visible but not as much as a tantalising sliver of white. I'm not sure whether I noticed any brown marks on the emerging leaves and flowers last year but they are very much in evidence this spring and are rather unsightly. Are they the sign of something sinister or is this a normal occurrence on pear trees? The tree was only planted in the autumn of 2012 so we are still getting acquainted.
In terms of wildlife there is nothing to report. I've still to see a living creature on it. Given the fact that my 'Doyenne du Comice' is only a young slip of a girl it's not surprising. I'm sure that any self respecting bird would not want to perch so near to the ground in a garden which has several regular feline visitors. Even the squirrels are not attracted ...... yet ......
In other news her neighbours which include another pear and a crab apple look set to blossom around the same time possibly even sooner. A couple of Westmorland Damson slips have been bought this very day and will be joining their company soon. The pear blossoms may well come and go before May's tree following post but I will certainly take photos to record the occasion. As always a big thank you to Lucy over at 'Loose And Leafy' who enables bloggers to share and celebrate a glorious diversity of trees each month.
11 comments:
I've never grown a pear tree so can't comment on the brown marks but I doubt it will be anything sinister, especially on such young a tree. I was thrilled when I saw a blue tit hop from my bird bath on to first one of the newly planted apple trees and then on to the other. They're really small trees too so I was really surprised. I'm just waiting for all the blossom to arrive now, the peach tree is flowering but the plum, cherry and apple is yet to come, worth waiting for though.ReplyDelete
fantastic photo even so! such detailReplyDelete
Great photo, pear blossom is one of my favourite flowers, lets hope we don't have any late frost.ReplyDelete
It is late this year. My birthday is 13 April and pear blossom is usually out for this date. Never mind, with this lovely warm weather everything will quickly catch up. I think Doyenne due Comice is a really good choice, it is an excellent pear.ReplyDelete
Our pears are late to flower but even our plums haven't yet flowered. Maybe it will work out well as there would have been few pollinators in the earlier poor conditions.ReplyDelete
My pears aren't flowering yet, lots of buds promising to open but I will have to be a bit more patient. Damson and plum blossom is out and I've noticed a few bumble bees buzzing around so I hope to get a good crop this year.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12 April 2015 at 17:12:00 BST
If it's any consolation this looks exactly like the photo of my Concorde pear that I posted yesterday!ReplyDelete
I think most things are behind this year, not just your pear Anna. I had wondered as I read your post if the fact that the blossom is later it might help with pollination. It might work to your benefit.ReplyDelete
No pear blossom here either but as the nights are still rather cold I am not too anxious - needless to say I have never, ever had a pear survive on my tree to date - maybe this year will be the one - one can only hope.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous13 April 2015 at 12:05:00 BST
Perhaps last year was especially early Anna. The pears are rarely open before the end of April here, just before the apples in May. My neighbours have a lovely one on their west-facing wall which I can just about see from my bedroom window. Look forward to your photos of the flowers!ReplyDelete
Beautiful photo. Most of our trees were a little behind this year. I blame it on our cool cloudy weather during the early spring.ReplyDelete
All your comments are much appreciated and treasured. I wil try to reply to everyone who leaves a comment, but it may take me a few days, especially when I start spending more time in the garden and at the lottie. I know that you will understand :) I am sure that I will also visit your blog if I have not already done so. If you have any specific questions I will either reply to them here or you can email me at : email@example.com

In recent years, homelessness in New York City has reached the highest levels since the Great Depression of the 1930s. In August 2018, there were 62,166 homeless people, including 15,189 homeless families with 22,511 homeless children, sleeping each night in the New York City municipal shelter system. The number of homeless New Yorkers sleeping each night in municipal shelters is now 79% higher than it was ten years ago, and families make up three-quarters of the homeless shelter population.

While Mike and I stayed in the town of Mammoth Lakes in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, we ate dinner one night at Perry's Italian Restaurant. Being an Italian, for dessert, I just had to have a cannolli, or perhaps I should say cannolo, one of my Italian dessert favorites.
Cannoli are Italian pastry desserts. The singular is cannolo, meaning "little tube", with the etymology stemming from the Latin "canna", or reed. Cannoli originated in Sicily and are an essential part of Sicilian cuisine. They are also popular in Italian American cuisine.
Cannoli consist of tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough, filled with a sweet, creamy filling usually containing sweetened ricotta cheese (or occasionally, but less traditionally, mascarpone) blended with some combination of vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, Marsala wine, rosewater or other flavorings. Some chefs add chopped candied fruit (citron, orange peel, or cherries). They range in size from "cannulicchi", no bigger than a finger, to the fist-sized proportions typically found in Piana degli Albanesi, south of Palermo, Sicily.
I'm not exactly sure what was in our cannoli, but it was huge! Mike had never tried one before, so for once, he was adventurous and partook of this delectable treat! He wasn't disappointed, and neither was I. I think that was the best cannoli I've ever eaten!

Breast Reconstruction New York
For most mastectomy patients, the physical loss of a breast is a severe emotional loss as well. A loss of self-esteem. A loss of femininity. A loss of self. A constant reminder.
Breast reconstruction strives to replace not just the breast, but these other losses as well. There are many different approaches that vary according to the type of mastectomy that was performed, and to the condition of the breast skin.
In some cases, reconstruction can be achieved through a simple implant or prosthesis alone. In other instances, there is not enough skin to accommodate an implant, and a "flap" of donor tissue must be brought into the area. This flap contains skin, muscle, and the blood vessels needed to nourish it. These flaps are usually taken from the back, or the abdomen and are "tunneled" to their new location where they will provide adequate skin covering for an implant. In some flap procedures, an implant may not be necessary.
Another technique involves placement of a balloon-like device called a tissue expander, which is placed beneath the chest muscle and gradually filled with saline to stretch the overlying skin until it is able to accommodate an implant. Additional surgery is often needed to reconstruct the nipple and areola.
These reconstructive procedures are usually performed in the hospital under general anesthesia and may require a few days of hospitalization. Most of our breast reconstruction surgeries are done at our New York plastic surgery center, but if it more convenient for you, you can choose our Connecticut plastic surgery office for your consultation and aftercare.
Post-operative discomfort is well managed by medications, and most patients are up and about within one week. Although some scarring is an inevitable part of this procedure, every effort is made to make scars as inconspicuous as possible.
The newly created breast will not be an exact duplicate of the previous breast nor will it have the same exact contour as the other breast. But the results provide a great improvement and yield considerable emotional and psychological benefits — welcome comfort after the difficulties associated with mastectomy.
If you are looking for more information about breast reconstruction in the New York area, Dr. Erlich at Profiles & Contours invites you to request a consultation or call 212.861.4100 today to schedule your appointment. You can meet with us at our Connecticut plastic surgery center or in New York City to discuss your surgical expectations and breast reconstruction questions.

Regular price
"Introducing The ALL NEW ATOM X27 PRO HVLP Solvent/Waterborne Professional Automotive Spray Gun!"
The ATOM X27 is professionally designed in Dallas TX. USA. and manufactured in Asia.
The ATOM Series spray guns are nowhere to be found, only here. They are the NEWEST line of superb technology spray guns on the market.
Your ATOM X27 Pro Waterborne/Solvent HVLP spray gun order comes with a large 1000ml aluminum cup, stainless steel threading/inserts, and you also get a pro mini air regulator included for FREE. A $34.95 value, yours free.
SATA inspired... but only ATOM Hyper Atomization Technology that delivers high-performance atomization every time you squeeze the trigger.
The ATOM sprays like a SATA without the SATA price tag. You're getting the best of the best for a fraction of the cost. About 1/3 the price with the same quality and performance.
Side by side, we've tested these guns with the priciest guns on the market, and even if you're a paint guru, you will not be able to tell the difference in performance. It will feel 'just right' in your hand as you hold it. Just like it's supposed to.
As long as you spray the paint or clear on right... the finish and high-gloss that you get as a result of spraying the ATOM, is breathtaking.
They say the best paint jobs are "one big run". The X27 will lay your clear on so glossy it will look like glass, or more like water glistening off a dolphin's back.
You're getting Japanese/German style, craftsmanship, quality, and performance for a fraction of the cost. Guaranteed.
Why spend $1000.00 or more on a spray gun when you can get the same professional quality, performance, and finishes at direct wholesale prices?
Tip Size: 1.4 and 1.3 Standard tips available for all-around automotive paint and woodwork refinishing. Easily and efficiently spray single stage paints, basecoat clearcoat systems, or filler primer with a larger 2.0 tip kit, waterborne paints, candy, pearls, and flakes.
*THE HVLP SPRAY GUNS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR BASECOAT SPRAYING*This is what is technically recommended. But if you wanted to spray clearcoat with this gun, you can also do so and get professional results.
The MP-LVLP version is technically a clearcoat spray gun.
So if you wanted a base only and clear only spray gun as some experts recommend, then you would get the HVLP for your basecoat spraying, and the MP-LVLP for your clearcoat spraying.
The 1.3 and 1.4 tips are perfect for all-around base and clear applications, and will also allow you to spray any metallic paints as well as micro sequence metal flakes (as long as you remove the cup filter) to prevent clogging.

7 Tips to Keep in Mind When You're Kayaking for the First Time
Innovators in the 16th century invented the kayak as a means of getting around. At that time, cruising along the river in your kayak would have been the equivalent of a drive down the freeway, though a bit more exciting. It was not, however, the popular recreational activity it is now.Modern kayaks are more frequently… Read More »

More than 864 members at 39 parish-based St. Vincent de Paul Conferences provide a network of support for people suffering from the effects of poverty, serving in a spirit of charity, humility, and friendship.
This approach to volunteer service harkens back to the very beginning days of the international Society of St. Vincent de Paul in 1833, when founder Frederick Ozanam was a pioneer in leading others in service to the materially poor in Paris France, visiting families in their homes and offering food, coal for heat, and other support. What distinguished that service was the high level of respect and dignity extended to those being served.
Today our parish conference members continue that tradition locally by providing food, utility and rent assistance, and other items of necessity to help neighbors in need in their local communities through difficult times, while also offering referrals to human services agencies and strategies and support to move out of poverty.
Through the tireless efforts of these volunteers, each year these volunteer groups provide over $997,973 in financial assistance, $652,069 in food assistance, and other support to more than 69,825 households regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity.

Get ready to travel back in time to the year 1816! We will tell the true story of "The Year There Was No Summer" also known as Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death!"
The first story dovetails into the next as we tell the tale of Westward Migration of America beginning in Steuben County, New York! The story is full of adventure as we travel with the first two women of European Descent by horseback, wagon, sled, steamboat, mules and on foot over the Rocky Mountains to Oregon Territory.
