I got this jacket about three years ago. For a cheaper rain jacket it is extremely versatile. It will keep you dry and block the wind with ease. After weeks of getting repeatedly drenched the material started to get water logged, but just throw it into the wash and dryer and retreat it with some more DWR spray and its good as new!
Not much more to say, this jacket is very light and so far is completely waterproof. I work at a summer camp in Texas year round and Mother Nature decided to pour for a week straight. Working outside all day meant I needed a sturdy rain jacket that would keep me DRY. This definitely did the job. Long enough to sit down and keep my butt dry too. Patagonia means quality.
Love this jacket. I've been out in some pretty nasty weather with it so far and have been completely dry. Pretty good wind resistance as well. The sleeves are a little long but overall, it fits very well. I am 6'1" and a 34 waist and the large fits me great. Also stows away nicely in either of its reversible pockets. The adjustable hood also seems to work very well. Would certainly buy again.
Folds up or rolls up nicely and will keep you dry. It also makes a nice addition to a layer system for windy or cold days. Build up to this as your last layer and depending on what you have underneath you will be warm and certainly dry
So I wasn't sure what size to get. I am tall and skinny (6'3" with a 32" waist). I got a large and it fits fairly well. It's a tad bit long in the sleeves but I'd rather have that than too short. I've used it a few times so far and have some initial impressions:1) This thing is light! It is super light weight and compresses like no other which makes it great for packing!2) For the price this thing does what you need it too. This thing is fantastic for such a low price.3) If you're not that adventurous and just want to look cool this also does the job. Just wearing it around I got a lot of compliments because the colors are fun.Basically if you're thinking about it just buy it. It's worth the money and it's a great product.
I have had this jacket for about half a year now. I have had absolutely no problems with it. It packs perfectly into one of the hand pockets, keeps every bit of rain and water out, and the hood is very adjustable. Usually I don't like the hoods on rain jackets since they limit peripheral vision, are noisy, and for the most part too roomy. This one can be adjusted in two spots! I have never gotten too warm in it, since the pit zips help vent a lot of heat when it's hot out. Overall definitely worth the price.
I was looking for a decent priced rain jacket, and this jacket far exceed my expectations. The breathability is great, and the waterproofing is awesome. The jacket fits nice and tight but loose enough to fit a sweat shirt under for the cooler days. Overall, this jacket is amazing and I recommended it to all my friends.
Too be honest I bought this jacket because I love the color (Tidal Teal). I also have an older Marmot Precip. Compared to the Precip, I like the hood design of the the Torrentshell better. When you cinch it down, the nylon around your forehead starts to conform to it, creating some support for the bill. It also doesn't block any peripheral vision. Before buying this I also tried on a rain jacket from Mountain Hardwear that didn't have pit zips. Personally, I prefer them. It's also packable like the Precip so that's nice.
I think this in an incredible rain jacket. I actually ordered this one, as well as a Mountain Hardwear Plasmic and love them both. This jacket fits pretty true to size for me...I'm about 5'11" and 170 lbs, and I like these just a little big to layer underneath. I got it to wear to work and on hikes, etc. I'm not a climber, etc, so I wasn't really concerned with a "technical, slim" fit. Can't wait for it to rain now.

|Long Haul but Worth it
Date Climbed: May 26, 2007
|From Sage Flat: Climbing above the Owens Valley takes you from chaparral to the snow covered west slope, complete with mountain meadows, wildflowers, and dominating views of the crest. This is truly a long haul for a day, but it's definately worth it. There are also several nice camps at summit meadow (just over Olancha Pass) and a few miles along the PCT, if that's your thing.
I recommend following the PCT around to Olancha's more gentle NW slope instead of "going for it" at first sight of the summit. I had to fight through brush and climb around or over car-sized boulders. Climbing down to the NW was easier: head for Whitney and curve around to the West. A thoughtful person even placed a carin on a giant barn-sized boulder!

|Did this as a two-night backpack. First night near Summit Meadow was quiet. Summited on Saturday, weather was perfect. Saturday night was loud with cattle -- sounded like Satan was having an argument with the ghost of Orson Welles. Got caught in a cattle drive on the way down Sunday morning.
Water is getting tough to find in this area. There was a tiny bit in the creek next to the PCT 1/3 mile NW of Summit Meadow but we were chased away by cattle, who then tromped through the mud and fouled the area. There is water further up Cow Canyon but who knows for how long. Drink carefully.

Date Climbed: May 27, 2007
|A nice easy 2nd class scramble from the PCT. We came up from Horseshoe Meadow and tagged Muah and Cartago before hitting Olancha and going down to Sageflat. A nice point to point if you have two cars. After being the first people atop Cartago in over a year the day before we were the 8th people that day to summit Olancha. Awesome views from the top and a nice spot for a summit nap.

|After a long hike to the pass, mosquitos were horrible, so we took off on a new looking trail - it ended in half a mile and we followed wooden stakes which marked the future route of the PCT - it was under construction at that time. Camped half a mile from water, but it was worth it to get rid of the bugs. Climbed the next day. Great peak for the bicentennial !

"The magnet quality is excellent, couldn't rate it though. Very professional looking, smaller than expected but not too small. We love it and can't wait to send them out!"
"With three months until my wedding, I panicked. I'd looked in invitation paper stores and they all gave me 3 week delivery windows. I found wedding paper divas, entered my info and within minutes I had them ordered. In three days they were in my hands! I'm pretty picky about paper, design, etc. and the quality is great. The envelopes are basic...but they were fine for the save the date cards. I will probably buy paper source envelopes to go with the invitations. They are beautiful. I'm so impressed."
"We were extremely pleased with our Save-the-Date cards. We ordered this one in the pre-set green shade and loved it. It comes out as a very clean, bright green against the textured white. But not a neon green. Very classic - we've had many compliments!"
"These cards were exactly what we needed for a quick turnaround Save the Date. We went with the Meadow custom color and was pleasantly surprised with how well it turned out."
"We are having a destination wedding and wanted a save the date that was simple, but sparked some excitement in our guests and this was the ONE. We have received several compliments! Wedding Paper Divas was GREAT to work with. They allowed me to change my order after placing and extremely helpful anytime I called. I received the proof and items earlier than expected. I will definitely be a return customer!"

The Wildcats were eighth in the Florida High School Athletic Association's Class 8A Sunshine Cup standings following the winter season, trailing front-runner Olympia by nearly 200 points. But by our unofficial count they have surged into the lead with a cheerleading state title and a superb spring sports showing.

Dr. Phillips stands fourth, one spot behind Tampa Plant, and the Panthers have the potential to make it very interesting with an undefeated girls flag football team and baseball, boys volleyball and track teams still alive.
Olympia has dropped to sixth, but its baseball team could win it all.
Winter Park's point total does not include a crew team that won its 31st club state championship (non-FHSAA) over the weekend. That marked the 100th team state title in school history.
Bracy motivated
Had they not been pushing each other down the runway all their lives, there is no way lightning-quick cousins Marvin Bracy and Levonte "Kermit" Whitfield would be as fast.
Here they go again.
Boone's Bracy is going for a three-peat in the 100 and 200 meets at Saturday's Class 4A state track championships in Jacksonville. But the first thing out of his mouth when asked about his final state meet was, "I gotta beat Kermit's time. Have to."
That would be the blazing 20.96-second time Whitfield, a Jones junior, posted to win the 2A 200 title. That is an area best for the 200, but it stands third on our all-time honor roll behind two greats who were scorching the half-lap when it was 220 yards.
In 1975, Winter Park's Mike Roberson ran the 220 in 20.6, which converts to a 20.74 metric time. In 1977 Oak Ridge's Cyril Wyatt won state at 20.8, equivalent to a metric 20.94.
Defense does it
Sydney Carpenter fired her 15th career no-hitter to lead Trinity Prep (22-8) into next week's Class 3A fast-pitch softball tournament at Clermont's National Training Center. She has eight no-nos as a senior.
Pine Castle Christian (22-7), ranked No. 1 in 2A by Miracle Sports, outscored three region opponents 41 runs to zero to punch its ticket for state. PCC's junior ace, Kaley Bitterman, has endured five injuries this season but should benefit from a seven-day break before Wednesday's semifinal against Quincy Munroe (15-6).
Extra points
Dr. Phillips flag football QB Hannah "Joe Montana" Schaible has 49 TD passes, one away from the state record of 50 she set in last year's 18-1 championship season. The Panthers (16-0) will play Tampa Robinson (15-1) at 8:30 Friday night in a state quarterfinal at Gene Cox Stadium in Tallahassee. . . . .
Boys volleyball is one of the sports where only district champions advance, which means it's the end of the road for one of two nationally ranked teams when Bishop Moore (21-2) and Tampa Berkeley Prep (24-2) play for the District 2 title Thursday at Apopka. . . .
Boone's upset loss to Dr. Phillips (13-14) in the 8A, District 4 baseball final means the Braves (23-4) will go to national No. 1 Olympia (27-0) for a region quarterfinal Thursday afternoon. Winter Springs (26-1), up to No. 9 in the MaxPreps national rankings, hosted Viera (16-11) in 7A on Wednesday. . . .
Defending state boys lacrosse champ Lake Highland Prep (20-2) graduated a boatload of talent but is ranked No. 2 behind Boca Raton St. Andrew's (21-2) going into Friday's state semifinals in Port St. Lucie.

The goal of dzo is to treat application database objects the same way the application's source code is treated, with respect to development, revision control, and deployment. Dzo uses a text file that contains native create statements for all database objects and compares them against the actual database-schema. As a result, dzo creates the SQL statements needed to update the database schema (or you can let dzo execute the SQL statements directly). If your application lives in a Tomcat or Java EE application server, dzo has a servlet that controls the deployment process, inspects and executes the necessary database changes, and finally deploys the application. Dzo currently works with HSQLDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server (more to come).

The heart-scraping Korean doc Repatriation follows a group of elderly ex-prisoners jailed in the South for decades after being caught spying for the North. Tortured, many renounced Communism; upon release, those who remained unconverted lived (and sometimes died) in the South before heading home, where they were hailed as heroes.

Jung Ji-woo's, "A Boy With The Knapsack" is a sparingly dialogued, black and white study of the lives of North Korean (illegal) refugees in South Korea. The pacing is perfect, the images of the friends in arms racing through the city still stay with me, and there's a nice little placement of one of the symbols of capitalism that brought a bit of laughter to what is otherwise a short full of sorrow, even more sorrowful considering its partly based on a true story.

Kim Seon-ho (Cha Seung-won, My Teacher Mr. Kim, Blood Rain), a horn player, is leading a happy middle-class life, along with his elderly but active parents and the married sister's family. He enjoys an occasional stroll on the neighborhood riverbank and a dish of cold buckwheat noodles. Recently Seon-ho has fallen head over heels for the beautiful museum guide Young-hwa (Jo Yi-jin, The Aggressives), a girl as "fresh and clean as a swig of dongchimi (cold radish kimchi juice made without red pepper)." When his father (Song Jae-ho) takes up a correspondence with his presumed-to-be-dead grandfather, however, things begin to unravel. You see, Seon-ho is a North Korean. And the grandfather, whom the family thought was an honored Communist hero, has been living in South Korea all these years. Threatened with exposure, Seon-ho's family decides to risk their lives and seek asylum south of the border.

In Europe, 76 destinations off the beaten path
Looking beyond Rome, Paris or London? Consider Europe's lesser-known destinations, such as Monschau, Germany, a town so quaint you can hardly believe it isn't a theme park or San Marino, one of Europe's oldest and smallest countries (drive through it slowly).

Monaco( Susan Spano / Los Angeles Times )
My friend Polly Platt loves Monaco, a silver slipper of a country on a little shelf of the French Riviera not much bigger than Monte Carlo, its capital. But she also attended the wedding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III here in 1956, the social event of the decade.
My experience of the principality, now ruled by the late prince's son, Albert II, was less memorable. I stopped here sans tiara a few years ago on a budget cruise and returned to the ship like a Cinderella who hadn't been invited to the ball.
So I decided to do it in style when I returned in the spring with Sarah, my 20-year-old niece. During the Grand Prix, I booked a room for one night at the luxurious Hotel Port Palace overlooking the harbor and got tickets to watch a day of practice runs from the grandstand.

Why Stockton's my favorite non Celtic player
|Posted by shawn cassidy on September 3, 2013 at 5:15 AM
I was lucky enough to see Stockton in his prime, and during his later years when he helped lead the Jazz to back-to-back NBA Finals.I don't know if will see another John Stockton. He carried himself in a different way. He wasn't an asshole, and he wasn't arrogant. He was happy with no attention. Stockton wasn't the most physically gifted, and he didn't have a lot of athleticism for his 6ft 1in, and 175lbs frame. John went to work every single night. He wasn't flashy, or into fashion. He was just your everyday guy. When the Celtics were bad in the mid to late 90's. I adopted the Jazz as my team to watch when the Celtics were off. I followed the Jazz during their magical playoff runs in 1997, and in 1998 when they lost to the Bulls in the Finals each season.
Stockton avoided most endorsements. You wouldn't find him on a shoe commercial, or selling cars. Stockton stayed loyal to Utah despite
being offered significantly more money by other teams. In 1996, he
agreed to a deal that made salary-cap space available so the team could
improve. Who does that? We hoped for the past of years that some players would do that to play in Boston. Another thing about Stockton was that he rarely missed games. He had one season where he missed 4 games, and in 1998 he missed 18 games. Out of the other 17 years he didn't miss any games. Stock holds the NBA's record for most career assists (15,806) by a margin
of more than 3,000, as well as the record for most career thefts with (3,265). With Gary Payton heading into the hall of fame, he had some great words about John Stockton.
Sheridan Hoops
Q: Did John Stockton ever talk trash back to you?
A: "Never. That is the reason I really respected him because you never could get in his head. He's the hardest person I ever had to guard. I tried to talk to him, try to do something and he'd just look at me, set a pick and cause me [to get mad and] get a tech. And then all of the sudden it was over. There was much respect to him doing that to me. It taught me a lot."
Q: Even so, you once said you were better than Stockton?
A: "I was. I really think I was better as an athlete and in everything all-around. But he was just a smarter basketball player than us. He just got it done. I do think I was a better basketball player. I can do more things skills-wise. He just showed he knew how to play the game and that was the biggest difference."
Q: You say Stockton was the hardest to guard, but what about guarding Michael Jordan?
A: "Those battles were a little easier. I would have Jordan get mad at me and go back at me. He knew he was really talented and could do whatever he wanted to. But [Stockton] was more of a challenge to me than guarding someone that would talk back to me. When you talk back to me and say something to me it made my game go to another level. John was one who wouldn't say nothing and you couldn't figure him out.
Payton was more gifted, but Stockton was gifted up stairs. He was smart, and he knew the game better than anyone. I loved seeing these comments. It reminded me why I love Stockton. Stockton wasn't going to give into anyone else, and he was a big time players, he made countless plays in big games, and who could forget his buzzer beater against the Rockets in the 1997 Western Conference Finals. I believe that Stockton, and Malone had the best team that never won in NBA history. I thought they would have won it all in 1999. They were fresh off of two loses to the Bulls, and Jordan just retired. The season was shorted to because of the lockout. I thought the Jazz were going to get over the hump. The Jazz were bounced in the second round by an up and coming Blazers team.
Those two finals loses sting just as much as a Celtics Finals loss for me. I really got attached to the Jazz when the Celtics had Eric Montross as their center, and Rick Fox as their go to guy. Stockton and Malone's Jazz became my second team. Stockton was announced as a member of the 2009 class of inductees to the Hall of fame on April 6, 2009; he was formally inducted on September 11. Stockton chose 2000 inductee and fellow point guard Isiah Thomas to present him at the induction ceremony. I thought that was a great move by Stockton.
I don't know if will ever see a player like Stockton again, and I think his record for most assists is untouchable.

Sandy Banks
October 6, 2012
Sheriff Lee Baca said this week that he's ready to shoulder the blame for years of unchecked deputy-on-inmate violence in Los Angeles County jails.
And he promised to carry out all the reforms outlined in a scathing jail report by an investigative commission that laid the problem at the sheriff's door.
But it's hard to know what to make of a leader — nationally respected and locally beloved — who ignored a decade's worth of brutality complaints and rarely visited the jails he runs, except to play sheriff-sage to the inmate-students in his Education-Based Incarceration program.
Baca tends to be a glass-half-full kind of guy; he's clearly bothered by all this focus on the negative in the jails he runs.
Brutal deputies, injured inmates, cover-ups, high-level misconduct, spiking jailhouse violence. "What good does it do to talk about it now?" Baca asked the Citizens' Commission on Jail Violence when he testified before the panel this summer.
"We know we screwed up in the past," he said. "I'm a guy that says let's go forward."
So forward we are going — with a raft of changes endorsed by Baca and aimed at making the nation's largest system of county jails more like community college and less like Guantanamo Bay.
Deputies will be better trained, more closely watched, more frequently counseled and more consistently disciplined for violating use-of-force rules. Oh, and there will be rules, a "comprehensive and easy-to-understand Use of Force Policy in a single document," according to the commission recommendations.
Moved aside as custody overseer is Undersheriff Paul Tanaka, Baca's right-hand man, who is lambasted in the report for advising underlings that deputies "should bend the rules and go over the line as long as they do not get caught."
The new custody head will probably be an "outside expert," Baca said; someone with experience running custody systems and respect for inmate education.
That new custody chief will be tasked with bringing what Baca calls "the nobility of policing" to a complex with thousands of inmates, hundreds of deputies and $25.6 million paid out to settle brutality claims.
The citizens' commission report, released last month, is damning in scope and force:
Training is poor, complaint tracking inaccurate, discipline inconsistent and lax. The department doesn't teach deputies appropriate use of force and doesn't honestly catalog misconduct.
Absent strong leaders or positive role models, the dysfunction is not surprising. Rookie deputies assigned to jails are often unprepared for the pressure-cooker of custody. Some manage inmates by yelling, cursing, threatening or applying unwarranted physical force.
Baca is good at condemning that. "Humanity and violence are incongruent," he told reporters at a news conference Wednesday in the jail chapel. "The communication between deputy and inmate should always be respectful.... If you don't have common sense and fairness in what you do, you won't be in this business."
But he's not so good at explaining why common sense and fairness didn't prevail; how the jail got so out of control that visitors were routinely harassed and arrested, and some floors were run by gang-like cliques wearing uniforms and badges.
For nearly two decades, outside reviewers have been studying the department. The special counsel charged with monitoring reforms has issued 15 reports on county jail problems, with 100 detailed recommendations on training, assigning, supervising and disciplining deputies, going back to 1992.
The ideas Baca has just embraced? They have been explicitly proposed and pointedly ignored by department brass for years.
Now, Baca says, "I couldn't have written them better myself. I'm impressed with the level of thoughtfulness." So impressed that he's created his own management task force to study them — and requested $10 million for that.
Now, Baca's hosting private sessions with deputies and town hall meetings with prisoners. Now, he's reading every one of the ACLU's 150 inmate brutality complaints.
Now, Baca promises to "repurpose the jail," to turn "jail cells into classrooms," to enlist deputies to model for inmates "the principles of living a positive life."
"I do have some deputies who have done some terrible things," the sheriff acknowledged. "But you can't judge the whole by the few."
The most important thing, he said, is helping inmates learn to make good decisions.
Did it ever occur to him that a young deputy trapped on jail duty might need help with that same thing?
For years Baca has been carried by his reputation as a caring, enlightened intellectual; a humanitarian lawman with a Zen mind-set and progressive bent.
His public reservoir of goodwill is uncommonly deep. More than half of voters recently polled disapprove of the sheriff's job performance, but fewer than one-quarter said they have an unfavorable view of the man.
Even at county Board of Supervisors' sessions, where his department has been savagely dissected, speakers preface criticism of him with some version of "I really like the man…"
I really like the man too. But it's time for all of us to stop playing "Let's pretend."
Reforming the system will not be easy. The deputies' union has already challenged the sheriff's efforts, calling the violence a "perceived problem" that doesn't require broad solutions like Baca's new force prevention policy, stepped-up supervision and insistence on better inmate-deputy relations.
The changes have led deputies "to feel that they have largely 'lost control' of the jails," a letter from the union contends. That's what you get when you let dysfunction flourish in private for so long.
Prisoners' rights are not up top on many priority lists. So Baca's commitment will be tested.
This is not just about inmates with black eyes and broken bones, but about those core values the sheriff likes to recite and promised to uphold: honor, respect, integrity, wisdom, fairness, courage. It's time to make them more than words.
Don't disappoint us, Sheriff Baca. Your legacy is on the line. And in case that's not enough, this time your back is against the wall.

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons margarine at room temperature, cut into 7 pieces
8 tablespoon pure vegetable shortening, cut into 7 pieces
4 ½ tablespoons ice water
¾ cups flour
¾ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup old-fashioned oats
6 tablespoons margarine, melted
Apple Filling:
3 McIntosh apples
Granny Smith apples
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water
In a mixer or food processor mix flour, salt and sugar. Cut margarine and shortening into flour and mix until it resembles course meal. Sprinkle water over dough, 1 tablespoon at a time and blend with mixer or fork. Repeat until dough is moist enough to come together. Knead into a ball, flatten and shape into a disc. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes in refrigerator.
Prepare crunch topping. In bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats and melted margarine. Stir to combine and set aside.
Prepare the apple filling. Peel, halve and seed the apples. In bowl combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add apple slices and toss to coat.
Preheat oven to 375°. Remove dough from refrigerator. On slightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll the dough into 14-15 inch circle. Leaving a 3-4 inch border, brush apricot preserves over center of dough. Place 3/4ths of crunch over apricot preserves. Starting at outer edge of apricot, and working your way towards the center, lay the apple slices in concentric circles, going around and adding layers until all apples are used up. Using the parchment paper to help, fold the dough border over apples. The dough will cover 2-3 inches of the filling. Carefully slide the parchment paper with galette on to a rimless baking sheet. Brush the exposed dough with beaten egg yolk.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully cover dough with foil to prevent burning. Return to oven and bake 30 more minutes.

Kyne is part of a group trying to raise money to finish the soccer field at the Ridgway Secondary School, a field that was always in the plan but has been left uncompleted due to budget cuts.
As an initial fundraiser, Kyne and her committee in support of KXS, Kids eXcel at Soccer, are hosting a community dance in Ridgway, a so-called Soccer Ball, May 12 at the Sherbino Theater. "It's going to be a lot of fun. Adults and kids. Dancing. With DJ John Clark. I hear he's awesome and has an awesome playlist appropriate for all ages."
The event runs 6:30 p.m. to midnight. Cover is $5. And there will be a cash bar.
Kyne's son Kolton is a graduating senior at RSS. "He's been in soccer since kindergarten," his mother said. "Soccer has been a big part of our lives for a long time."
Kyne ran the youth soccer program in Ridgway for years. She was a driving force in getting the new school built and in completing the gymnasium. "Now there's this one last thing that needs to be done," she said.
According to Debbie Wheeler, another KXS member and mother of another footballer, "Sixty percent of all the kids in the county play soccer. It's the most popular sport in the Ridgway/Ouray area. The Solar Ranch field [where school and club teams play now] is simply not adequate for all the practices and games." Wheeler wants to see the "unused soccer field at the RSS [become] a first-rate area."
KXS members estimate the cost to renovate the field, on the east side of the school above the river, at somewhere around $25,000. "Our initial goal is $25,000," said Kyne. "That will get the field playable. We'd like to raise more eventually for a fence, scoreboards, concessions and bathrooms."
"The school has found $10,000 for the restoration," Wheeler told The Watch. Kyne explained that the school contribution comes from its capital improvements account, a tax-funded mandatory account. "We don't want people to ask why the district would put money into a field when they cut staff last year." The Ridgway School Booster Club has added $3,795.
"[Former school board member and soccer dad] Don Batchelder is writing the mission statement for the project," Wheeler said in a phone interview. "And [local climbing guide] Danika Gilbert is writing grant proposals to GOCO and the Telluride Foundation. We have about $15-16,000 now. We need more."
Work has already begun seeding the new field. The Soccer Ball, subtitled "An Old Fashioned Ridgway Community Dance," is a chance for everyone, soccer moms or not, to contribute.
For information on how to donate, call Kyne at 626-5115.

It happened around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday at the Beautex Playground in Lebanon. The Lebanon Daily News reports ( http://bit.ly/RHz2uV) witnesses told police they saw 33-year-old Christopher Barrett at the playground, running from another man who was shooting at him.
Police found Barrett near the playground, suffering from a gunshot wound to the lower back. He was taken to a hospital and police say the wound does not appear life-threatening.
Police Chief Daniel Wright says Barrett told officers he was at the park to exercise. Wright says police don't think the shooting was random.
Witnesses saw a man fleeing the scene in a car, but no arrests were immediately made.

GAINESVILLE -- Florida is back in familiar territory.
Just three years removed from the program's last national title and a year after playing in the Gator Bowl, coach Will Muschamp's Gators are BCS-bound for the seventh time in program history.
Florida (11-1) earned an automatic berth in one of the four top bowls by finishing No. 3 in the final BCS standings and will play Big East co-champion and No. 21 Louisville (10-2) in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on Jan. 2.
"Our guys were really jacked up after we beat Florida State," coach Will Muschamp said. "We knew we'd be in a BCS game and probably the Sugar Bowl. They were extremely excited."
Even though Florida has arguably the best resume of any team in the country, there was talk UF could be left out of the discussion for a BCS bowl in favor of two-loss Georgia, which beat Florida in October but lost to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game on Saturday.
That didn't happen, as the Gators climbed to No. 4 in both the USA Today Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll while retaining their top-two ranking in most of the computer polls. The Bulldogs fell to No. 7 and will play No. 16 Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.
And while Muschamp said he is looking forward to the playoff system that will be instituted in 2014, he also said he isn't making excuses for Florida being left out of the title discussion this year.
"It is what it is this year," he said. "We had our opportunity in Jacksonville [against Georgia], and we didn't get it done. That's our fault.''
Louisville earned the berth by beating Rutgers in the Big East championship game on Thursday. The Cardinals are currently coached by former Gators defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, who accepted the Louisville job before Florida played in New Orleans after the 2009 season.
There are many connections between the two programs. Strong spoke Sunday night about a familiarity with the upperclassmen on Florida's roster that he helped recruit.
Former Florida assistants Vance Bedford, Kenny Carter and Tommy Restivo are also on Strong's staff at Louisville. And three players have transferred from Florida to Louisville since Strong has held the job: tight end Gerald Christian, wide receiver Robert Clark and cornerback Adrian Bushell.
Strong, who developed a strong South Florida recruiting base while in Gainesville, has several area players in prominent roles, including starting sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from Northwestern High. In all, Louisville has 15 players on its two-deep depth chart from the Miami area.
Florida is making its ninth appearance in the Sugar Bowl and seventh appearance in a BCS bowl, but its first under Muschamp, and Louisville will be playing in the game for the first time and only the second BCS bowl in the school's history.
But, in an interesting wrinkle to watch in the lead-up to the game, there's a chance Strong again misses the chance to coach in the Sugar Bowl. He accepted the Louisville job on Dec. 9, 2009 and did not coach Florida's defense against Cincinnati.
Now, Strong is a hot name for openings in the SEC and has had talks with Auburn, according to reports.
The Gators opened as 16.5-point favorites.
"This is a team that was one game away from playing for a national title," Strong said of Florida. "We're nowhere near that right now."

About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet GI Support:
We adopted an 8 week old kitten, who from day 1 had horrible diarrhea, gas, and tummy "gurgles". After three months of going back and forth to the vet & getting her medications that didn't work; I read all the great reviews on this product, and decided to give it a shot. After just one week of being on this, her gas went away and her stools began to have form. By week 3, no more diarrhea! That was almost 2 yrs ago, and we still give this to her daily and she has no stomach issues at all! Love this product!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I will always use this Product
By Joss
from New Zealand
My six year old cat has been vomiting for many years. My Vet was never guite sure what he had but but thought it was probably inflamantory bowel disease.Since using this product have found my cat is not vomiting so much and he is much happier.Giving it to him is very easy.
Didn't work
By Disappointed Elizabeth
from IL
We tried to use this for our dog who has has difficulty digesting her food. She would wake up in the morning with gurgling noises in her stomach and wouldn't eat. If she did eat, she would vomit. After awhile the gurgling goes away and the next day she's as good as new. Was hoping this would help her not go thru all that discomfort but it didn't. Trying enzymes now.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
It's been helping my kitties!
By sunny sd
from San Diego, CA
I've been using this product going on 6 months and I've seen a big difference in my two kitties health. We ruled out UTIs, etc. I think they have colitis or at least IBS. This suppliment has given them relief. I notice more frequency and no blood in stool, etc. Not the most fun thing to talk about, but when you need it for your pets, I would reccommend this product.
Great product!
By Lynn
from Arlington, VA
We've had great success with this product! We added it after discussing with our holistic vet the best ways to gently help our dog's very upset tummy. She was having constant gurgling, occasional vomiting & diarrhea - and just clearly felt crummy. This product helped right away. We plan to continue it on a regular basis!

I have 2 adopted rescue dogs. Both are very leary of strange or unusual food or smells. One get diarreah over anything different to eat and the other vomits very easily. They first refused to eat food that has been sprinkled with the product. I finally sprinkle about half a capule in each plate of food. This seems to do and it has stablized them. Hope they continue to eat it. One is a medium size poodle and the other is a small poodle mix.
Cats will not touch this product.
By Katzenx3

I tried to add this to every favor of cat food... they just will not touch the stuff. The capsules are way to large and you just have to mix them into their food. I had high hopes for this product since my cat has IBS... I also purchased the Probiotics which I can mix into their wet food and they will eat. They just don't like the taste. Maybe if it tasteless it might work.

Really helps with IBS - Homer approved!
By kth4503
from Champlin, MN
I have an 8 year old Springer Spaniel (Homer) that has had pancreatitis twice and several other bouts with IBS. I tried the vet recommended food (I hated feeding that to him, but I was desperate). I also made him food for a while and it didn't help either. Now I feed him Natural Choice LID Venison and Sweet Potato plus a capsule of the GI Support at each meal and the gurgling stomach issue has not come back since I started this regimine. His weight is finally back to normal too! I struggled for three years trying different things and I think I finally found the right combination. I know IBS is not curable, but I am hoping to keeps his tummy as happy as possible.

The newest of the dot-com companies to enter the meetings arena did so with great fanfare recently at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. StarCite plans to distinguish itself in the meetings e-commerce arena with a site that becomes an integral part of a meeting manager's daily operations, according to Chairman and CEO John Pino, who helped spin off StarCite from McGettigan Partners, the Philadelphia-based meeting management company.
StarCite (www.starcite.com) offers functions that the other major meeting planning Web sites do, including a large, searchable supplier database, online RFPs, news, hot dates, and the ability to put a meeting up for bid by hotels. What's new:
* a private, customized site for each company, tailored to its specific needs, travel policies, and vendors.
* access to a management application (the evolution of McGettigan's CORE Discovery software), which allows every planner in a company to consolidate meeting data. Companies can view budgets, access negotiated rates for all hotel meetings; and publish an event calendar.
* capability for hotels or meeting managers to "re-sell" canceled space to other StarCite users.
* consultations with an expert (40 of whom are on staff), including experts who could facilitate site selection.
Sold! . . . to the Best Bidder StarCite is the second site to host live, online auctions where planners can put meetings up for bid by hotels. (Event- Source jumped on the idea first; see news item, page 12.) But StarCite's user-friendly graphical interface takes the process to a higher level.
During the live auction, participants see on their computers a graphically rich representation of the process, including the meeting details and current bids from each supplier. (The planner sees who each supplier is, but the hotels do not know which rates and offerings are being presented by which bidder.)
Rather than a chat-room setting, StarCite uses proprietary software that allows simultaneous interaction. For example, the planner can ask a question of the entire field ("Can you offer a complimentary reception?") or of a specific supplier ("How much pre-function space is near your Grand Ballroom?") and see the answer instantly.
During the auction, a red arrow moves around the screen, tracking the lowest bid; meanwhile, the planner can put another arrow next to the bidder that is "winning" in his or her mind at the time.
Planners pay a fee to StarCite, equal to 10 percent of the difference between the "winning" hotel's opening bid and its final bid, times the number of room nights. For example, if Winning Resort's opening bid is $150 and the planner ultimately agrees on a $130 rate for 200 rooms for three nights, StarCite's fee is 10 percent of $20, or $2, times 600 room nights, for a total of $1,200. StarCite also is paid $3.90 per room night by the winning hotel. So, Winning Resort would pay StarCite $3.90 times 600 room nights, or $2,340. ("Losing" hotels pay nothing for their participation in the auction.) Hotels that sign up for annual marketing packages with StarCite pay a reduced fee of $2.90 per room.
EXECUTIVE MEMO It's Not What You Know, It's How You Use It In the brave new world of the Internet, where everyone has access to the same information, what does it take to beat your competitors? The answer, says Michael Weber, is knowing how to use that information. Next time your executive committee holds a strategic brainstorming session, advises Weber, a Southern California-based speaker and consultant, "use artificial ways to shift perspectives and you'll find elegant and unusual solutions." His suggestions:
1. Use 180-degree thinking. Take a proposed solution and consider its opposite.
2. Do the unthinkable. Ask the group, "What would we never do?"
3. Use a bad idea as a springboard for a good idea. Examples: The Post-it note came from an adhesives technician's failed attempt to invent a special glue. Donuts were created by a sea captain's wife, who cut the mushy middles out of fried cakes.
4. Ask how a problem would have been solved 10, 50, 100, or even 1,000 years ago. Everything has been done before; you just have to think of it again.
For information on Michael Weber as a meeting emcee or featured speaker, contact Ken Kirsh, Kirsh Productions at (212) 262-4388.
How does the number of meetings you will handle in 2000 compare with the number you managed in 1999?
* My department will handle more meetings: 56 percent
* My department will handle the same number of meetings: 39 percent
* My department will handle fewer meetings: 6 percent

Noted * Starwood Wins Boston Bid At the end of a seven-month search for the best team to develop and operate a flagship hotel at the planned Boston Convention Center, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., emerged the victor. The choice of Starwood, in partnership with Carpenter & Co., was approved unanimously by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.
Starwood beat out two other competing teams, Marriott International Inc. paired with Boston Properties and Hilton Hotels teamed with New England Development.
The 1,120-room Sheraton will cost $264 million. Among its other promises, Starwood agreed to open the hotel at the same time as the convention center (October 2003) and to reserve a block of discounted rooms for meeting attendees.

Neighborhoods: Irvine Business Complex
I love this place for tanning. The staff is always friendly, they always have great deals and the quality of the tan (whether spray or the tanning bed) always looks great. I tried the Versaspa spray tan for a wedding and it looks very natural. No streaks or orange tint. The tans last a long time.
Great place to tan – My husband and I have been customers for years and this is a great place to get a great tan, whether it be via tanning bed or spray tan. The tanning beds are always clean and rooms are neat and tidy. Bare Tan offers different "grades" of tanning beds, depending on your budget and quality of tan you are looking for. We always opt for the 12-minute beds and you get FABULOUS color that lasts, so we only have to go once a week to keep great color all-year long. The staff is friendly and service is consistent. And last, but not least, you can't top their hours of operation...6am til midnight?!
Only reveiwing customer service – I just moved into Villa Siena (which is across the street from Bare tans location) from HB and was looking for a salon close to my new place.
When I went into Bare Tan to inquire about rates and see the salon, the girls behind the counter were very unfriendly. They never greeted me when i walked in and never smiled throughout our conversation.
When I asked questions their answers were very short, and almost rude. It seemed like I was bugging them by asking things.
They made me feel as if I was not welcome there or didn't belong there for whatever reason.
Bare tan is a nice, clean salon but customer service was bad. Needless to say I found somewhere else to tan.
Posting that Rivirea Tan on Mcarthur closed its doors – Just posting news that Riviera Tan that had great equipment and a beautiful interior unfortunately closed its doors on Saturday after about 7 years. For those of you who didnt work or live in the area Riviera Tan was located near the corner of Mccarthur and Bristol at the back of a huge apartment complex which had dry cleaners quiznos, Riviera Tan and many other tenants at the front of the complex. thought Riviera would be there for ever. I would like to wish the Owners good luck in their future plans.I Think other press outlets would be better to let all their clents know that Riviera is closed.but maybe a handful of tanners wont waste their time looking for a salon that is closedand gone after reading this.

The place to Tan – Been going to Baretan for years. Staff are always so pleasant and make me feel welcome. Tanning deals when they offer them are always so $$ savings, you gotto be nuts not to take advantage especially since they dont expire. They seem to keep their equipment current and well maintained.
Been going to Bare Tan since 2004 – I have purchased a couple of minutes packages from them and have been nothing but pleased. They have been great to me. I plan to go there to get a Mystic when I can fit it into my budget. I still UV tan but not as much, and the great thing about BT is that I know my minutes will be there when I want them.
They have great hours (I can go before work if I want to -- its a VERY relaxing way to start a day, believe me! I feel like I just stepped off of the beach.) and its helpful when I am really busy to be able to go whenever I need to!
R u Kidding me – The girls that work at this tanning salon are so obnoxious and rude. I mean give me a break you girls work at a TANNING SALON! How does that give you the right to act the way you do.
Further more, I had a appointment for over a week to get airbrushed tanned for my wedding. Once I got there the girl checked me in (but she acted as if I was interrupting her day). I asked to use the restroom and if she could tell me where it was since I had never been there before, it was like pulling teeth just to get that information from her.. I didn't understand it.
Once I came back from the restroom she informed me that i had "tanning minutes left" I was like what does that even mean? I told her this was my first time there She continued to inform me that I bought a package in 2005 and only used and paid for half of this so called tanning package. I said thats impossible I have NEVER been here before. I kept telling her it isn't me, I don't even tan in the tanning bed. I am a esthetician and I always mystic tan or airbrush tan. SHE INSISTED that it was me. Then she read me some address that I have never lived at and further more I had just moved back to california from Las Vegas where I had been living since January 2005 she then told me "If you don't pay the balance, we can't airbrush you today" She said this a few time which made me very angry since the tone in her voice was so rude and disrespectful I was livid! My wedding was in two days, I was on a schedule that day, nails, toes, hair, etc... I didn't have time to try and find someone who had time to fit me in to spray me..She was so rude to me I just almost walked out (I should've walked out) I asked to speak to the manager but he conviently was not there. The girl that actually performs the airbrush tan ended up saying' "don't worry I will tan you" but she wasn't happy about it. In the room she was nice, but I was completly uncomfortable since the other girl was so rude to me up front, once I came out of the tan nothing was said to me about this so called balance, WHICH LET ME JUST SAY ONE LAST TIME... IT WAS NOT ME, it was possible someone has my same name>? I will never go back there and I do not recommend this place, if you aren't in all your labels and put together they treat you like trash, and let me reasure you just because someone doesn't have their best clothes on to tan doesn't mean they don't have $ and even if I was or wasn't loaded with $ what business is it of these girls at the TANNING SALON? And what gives you the right to treat people the way you do. This was the worst experience.
This is Allegedly a personal attack against Bare Tan Policy No1 is Customer Service. Please contact a manager via email, phone,or any other way you would prefer.Provide us with your full name and birthday. Bare Tan will investigate this matter.
great place for a tan – I wanted a tan before going on vacation and bare tan was perfect. They advised me on what bed would be best for me . I got a gorgeous tan before i left and i'll be back to keep it up!!
No.1?? Yeah right! – I tanned there for about 2 years and saw a large insect in one of the rooms. I don't think the beds are cleaned very well and recently, they turned off the air or something because it was so hot every time i went in. I tried the airbrush a couple times but it came out orange and blotchy. i liked the beds but after the insect thing i dont want to go back.
WASTE OF MONEY – When I moved to Irvine, this was the closest tanning salon. I paid for expensive tanning packages here and had NO results. The tanning beds look legit, but the bulbs are ALWAYS weak. EVERY time I went I asked for a bed with new bulbs and they always seemed to have one for me. "We just changed them!" And NOTHING. NO results. Dont waste your money here. Try ONE tan and go elsewhere. You will never want to go back, because it's a waste of time! Don't take my word for it though, you WILL walk out wondering why you don't look any different.

Thread: You named your baby THAT?
October 6th, 2012 02:56 PM #121
I work with kids so I've seen some real horrors. The worst ones are the ones that sound totally made up or are spelled so kre8tively that you can't imagine how to even pronounce them. I love unusual and under-used names but I think there's a line you can cross and end up burdening your kid rather than creating a special identity for him/her.
My most recent find: Naytchalie (prounced Ne-cha-lee).

HP Compaq 6910p Specs - Laptops - CNET Reviews
had to use rd=disk0s1 to get it to start but otherwise the install went great. however i do have 2 problems.
1) is the trackpad isn't working, and 2) the keyboard will sometimes act like a key is being held down when no key is being touched. This happens at the password screen for example. when i go to search something in safari, everything types in ok, but when i search it show a whole bunch of question marks between my words.

The story of Arkansas running back signee Alex Collins dominated headlines last week.
Collins, who attends South Plantation High School in Plantation, Fla., had committed to the Razorbacks two days before signing day and was set to sign with Arkansas on Feb. 6. But Collins's mother refused to sign his national letter of intent, leading Collins to seek out his father's help to get the letter signed.
A similar situation could have occurred with Florida State linebacker signee Matthew Thomas from Booker T. Washington High School in Miami.
Thomas told Noles247.com he wanted to sign with Southern California but his mother refused to sign his letter of intent. Unlike Collins, Thomas chose not to battle his mother on the subject.
"We couldn't agree, but it's my mom, I just did what I had to do," Thomas told Noles247.
Thomas insisted he's not upset about his mother's refusal to sign a letter to USC.
"I think everything works out how it's supposed to," Thomas said. "I'm going to make the best of my situation. It's not like I'm unhappy, I really like Florida State. It's not a problem, I'm happy with my decision."
How many prospects would be happy with a situation similar to the one involving Thomas? Obviously Collins wasn't; he still signed with Arkansas instead of staying close to home as his mother insisted.
But there are many prospects who would react the same way Thomas did, simply saying, "It's my mom."
Last week, standout defensive end Chris Jones from Houston, Miss., signed with Mississippi State instead of rival Ole Miss. One major reason: his mother wanted him in Starkville. At least that's what Ole Miss co-defensive coordinator Wes McGriff told SI.com.
Ole Miss couldn't sway Jones's mother, but it was able to do so with other recruits. The Rebels staff made connections with the people closest to its top targets. With defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, it was his brother, who plays at Ole Miss, and mother, who made it clear Ole Miss was her top pick. With wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss's recruiting started with his friend and former high school teammate (who signed with Ole Miss last February) and ended with his mother.
So with the 2014 recruiting period already underway, it should be obvious who coaches should target. It starts with the prospects, but with many, it will end with mom.
Hold off on those visits
The 2013 class featured many prospects who committed to one school (or two) but signed with another last week.
Flipping commitments is common practice in recruiting. And it's the most common cause for headaches among college coaches.
That's why some schools have adopted a new policy: "No visits elsewhere if you commit to us." Texas is the latest school to do this, joining others such as Georgia Tech, Michigan and Oregon.
Will this policy work? Maybe for Texas, which recruits at such a high level that it can drop one four-star and pick up another without much trouble. But even Texas is having to recruit against on-field struggles, questions about its head coach's future and that former in-state rival that's now in the SEC, Texas A&M.
It's also hard to believe schools will be 100 percent committed to this plan. Will a school really tell a highly-touted prospect to take a hike because he looks at another school? Michigan didn't. Offensive lineman David Dawson visited elsewhere after he committed to Michigan. The Wolverines welcomed him back with open arms once he decided Ann Arbor was the best place for him.
Recruiting is a growing beast, especially in the SEC. Don't expect schools in the league to adopt the "no visits elsewhere" policy anytime soon. That is unless it gives the school an out with a prospect it no longer wants to sign.
Rivals releases its Top 100
The Rivals100 list for the class of 2014 is out. This year's top prospect: defensive end Da'Shawn Hand from Woodbridge (Va.) High School.
Hand listed his top five schools last month: Alabama, South Carolina, Michigan, Notre Dame and Virginia Tech.
Expect 2014 to be another strong recruiting year for the SEC, maybe even stronger than 2013 (if possible). The top five players in the Rivals100 are below.
DE Da'Shawn Hand – Woodbridge (Va.)
DB Jabrill Peppers – Paramus (N.J.) Catholic
RB Leonard Fournette – St. Augustine in New Orleans
DB Quin Blanding – Bayside in Virginia Beach, Va.
RB Sony Michel – American Heritage in Plantation, Fla.
The top-rated SEC commitment for the 2014 class? Hold your surprise. It's Tuscaloosa, Ala., running back Bo Scarbrough (No. 17 overall), who's committed to Alabama.
Watch Watson
The attention surrounding quarterback Deshaun Watson from Gainesville (Ga.) High School continues to grow.
Watson, who's committed to Clemson, is the nation's highest-rated quarterback in the 2014 class, according to Rivals. While he's committed to Clemson, he will continue to hear from schools around the country.
Will his Clemson commitment stick? He says yes and maintains he isn't tied to offensive coordinator Chad Morris, who could see some head coaching opportunities after the 2013 season.
But Watson's recruitment will be worth following. His offer list includes in-state Georgia, Tennessee, Florida State and Ohio State. And more power programs will be added to that list between now and the day Watson signs on the dotted line.

This location is in the heart of Florida's tourism and theme park industries, and we are uniquely different from our numerous competitors. We were the first Indoor Trampoline Arena in Florida and the ONLY Indoor Trampoline Arena with Superior Engineering and Maximum Safety. We are proud to have created an innovative way for the entire family to have fun. "Superior Engineering – Maximum Safety" is more than a catch phrase for us. Rebounderz is all about quality! The quality and superior engineering of our patented trampoline, which we call the "Jumper," is obvious. Every single component of the Jumper is constructed with only the highest quality materials. Superior engineering ensures the quality of the product; the quality of that product ensures maximum safety. Safety is what separates us from any and all competitors. Rebounderz takes pride in ensuring that our Indoor Trampoline Arena is the safest trampoline environment for everyone. From our safety equipment to our highly trained staff, a safer trampoline experience does not exist! We are currently offering great franchise opportunities both Nationally and Internationally. To aid in this opportunity, we are proud to say that loans through the SmallBusinessAdministration (SBA) are available for Rebounderz Franchisees! Our very first franchise, located in Sterling, Virginia, has over 12,000 square feet of rebounding surface on TWO Jumpers, and now features a Basketball Slam Jumper! The entire 26,400 square foot building offers a variety of family entertainment to enhance the experience. Rebounderz of Sterling is thriving!
