You may be eligible for membership in USPS after passing a USPS Public Boating Course or a NASBLA approved Safe Boating Course. For membership information or a boating safety course near you, please call toll free 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777). Information can also be obtained by visiting the NATIONAL USPS WEB SITE at United States Power Squadrons. Welcome Aboard You have joined Raritan Bay Power Squadron, part of United
States Power Squadrons, the nation's preeminent boating education
organization. Your membership opens up to you a broad range of
opportunities to develop and sharpen your boating and other skills, to become
involved in USPS public service activities, and to have lots of fun in the
company of a growing family of like-minded people.
These opportunities don't require a great deal of work. All you need is a willingness to actively participate in your
squadron's programs and activities. The information in this welcome will help you to get started on your USPS adventure. It is intended to provide you with a basic understanding of USPS and your local squadron, Raritan Bay. Here we will provide introductory information about
You can expect to learn a great deal more about USPS over
time through your continuing participation in classes and squadron activities.
To help you along the way, an
experienced squadron member has volunteered to help you to become
involved in USPS
in any way you prefer. At
the same time,
don't hesitate to ask any of your fellow squadron members anytime you
need help to understand something about USPS or our local squadron.
As with so many new members in the past, we are confident that you will
discover that USPS offers a rich return on the investment of your time.
Once again, welcome! Raritan Bay Power Squadron is one of 440 local units of United States Power Squadrons. Founded in 1914, USPS is dedicated to safe boating through education. Today, USPS claims more than 45,000 members nationwide.
We are a tax-exempt 501c(3)
educational organization.
As such, members who incur expenses in the performance of USPS or local
squadron duties may deduct such expenses, including dues, when filing their
federal income tax returns. The words surrounding the USPS triangular emblem describe
the basic purposes of USPS:
educational, social and public service.
These are our common interests and our shared goals.
We are committed to boating safety through self-education.
We pursue this goal by offering a broad range of boating courses to our
members. We deliver on our public
service commitment in two ways. First,
we offer the best available public boating course.
Second, we strive to improve general boating safety through various public
awareness programs. For example,
through our Cooperative Charting Program, USPS works with the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to keep the nation's nautical charts up
to date. USPS is a major source for
corrections to these charts. And we
are committed to promoting a congenial atmosphere in which long-lasting
friendships develop and pleasant experiences, both
on and off the water,
can be shared. Together
with the Coast Guard Auxiliary, we conduct voluntary
vessel safety examinations. Such
checks are intended to ensure that the vessel has all of the required safety
devices – proper number of life jackets, clean backfire flame arrestor, flares,
and other mandatory items. USPS is organized
into three tiers - the National Headquarters, District organizations, and
the local Squadrons. First and
foremost, USPS is a "bottom up" organization.
This means that the local squadron is the most important element in USPS.
The primary function of the national and district organizations is to
guide and assist the local squadrons. They also perform certain organization-wide functions (e.g., national
advertising, joint ventures with external organizations, etc.) on behalf of all
squadrons. A team of
officers, referred to as the Bridge, governs each level of USPS.
With the assistance of various committee members and chairpersons, they
are responsible for day-to-day operations of their respective departments.
The Bridge consists of a Commander, Executive Officer, Educational
Officer, Administrative Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary. National Headquarters Our national organization is responsible for maintaining
nationwide membership records, for developing, producing, and distributing our
educational course materials and for the other responsibilities of our
organization at the national level. Our
National Headquarters is located at 1504 Blue Ridge Road, P.O. Box 30423,
Raleigh, NC, 27622. The phone
number for National is (888) 367-8777. The
FAX number is (919) 836-0813. The
World Wide Web is: USPS.
USPS members can log onto a web site USPS to access information
of specific interest to USPS members.
For instance, you can find out where to fly your USPS ensign, or the
Raritan Bay squadron burgee. You
can find information about educational courses.
When logging on to the member site, no password is necessary. Districts The next level is the District organizations.
They are responsible for communicating information between the local
squadrons and headquarters. They
also assist the local squadrons by coordinating common activities among the
various squadrons within the district. Raritan
Bay squadron is one of sixteen- squadrons in District 4, which comprises the
northern New Jersey/metropolitan New York area.
The District holds monthly council meetings, attended by the Bridge
officers of the local squadrons. At
these meetings information of interest to all squadrons is disseminated,
educational activities and district wide social and public service activities
are planned. Twice yearly, the
district organization conducts conferences open to all members of each squadron.
These conferences include both
valuable educational content and social activities.
They are a great way to become further acquainted with fellow members in
our squadron and across the district. Among other programs of interest to all members,
the conference agenda features workshops to review courses and programs offered
by USPS. Plans for these courses
are reviewed and suggestions for improvement are forwarded to national
headquarters. A number of changes
in National policy have resulted from suggestions that originated at District
conferences. Raritan Bay Squadron Like the national and district organizations, Raritan Bay
squadron has its own Bridge. These
officers, together with additional elected Members at Large, make up the
Executive Committee that conducts the squadron's affairs much like a board of
directors. Bridge officers are
elected by the general membership to a one-year term of office.
Our squadron is organized to enable us to pursue the objectives stated
above. Our educational mission is
achieved through the Squadron Educational Department, which arranges and
conducts our public Boating courses, as well as the many courses we offer only
to our members, and various seminars open to the public. Headed by the
Squadron Educational Officer, it is composed of a group of course
committees—one for each of our educational offerings.
To learn about available courses, start dates, and course requirements,
contact the Squadron Educational Officer or log on to our squadron web site,
RBPS. Members are also
advised of course starting dates through our monthly squadron publication, Relative
Bearings. There is a brief
overview of courses at the end of this document. Responsibility for
most of the squadron's non-educational functions are divided between the
squadron Executive Officer, who handles functions external to the squadron
(outward facing), and the squadron Administrative Officer, who is responsible
for internal functions. Our
public service mission is carried out through both our public Boating courses
and the work of the committees that report to the squadron Executive Officer.
These committees help to improve boating safety through public awareness
initiatives, the USPS Cooperative Charting program, participation
in public boat shows, and other activities. In Raritan Bay squadron, the Executive Officer is also
responsible for acquiring new members, and for promoting member involvement in
squadron life. The job of planning
and conducting the squadron's social and
boating programs
rests primarily with the committees reporting to the Squadron Administrative
Officer. These committees organize
a wide range of programs and social events, which include group boating
activities, such as cruises and rendezvous, the annual picnic, dinners, meeting
programs, bus trips, and others. We
are always looking for new and different ideas for social activities, and help
in organizing them. The
Administrative Department is also responsible for the squadron publication,
called Relative Bearings.
The squadron includes many other committees and functions, including
Historian, Photographer, Property and Supply Officer, and many more.
Whatever your particular skills or interests, you can be sure we can put
them to good use within the squadron, and we encourage your participation.
We particularly value your input
concerning your needs as a new member. You
can find other squadron committees and their members listed in the squadron
roster. We primarily communicate information and news to you
through our monthly meetings, mailings, e-mail and our Squadron web site (www.rbps.org).
Each month, you will receive a copy of Relative Bearings, the official Squadron publication, in the mail.
It contains reminders of upcoming meetings, classes, squadron events,
interesting articles and much more. It
is essential that we have your correct mailing address.
If you do not receive a mailing in the month following the start of your
membership, contact the Membership Chairman to ensure that we have your correct
mailing address. Notify the
Membership Chairman of any changes to ensure continuity of service.
A growing number of members have a fax number or E-mail address.
If you have a fax or E-mail address, please be sure to provide them to
the Squadron Membership Chairman. On
occasion, we may have the need to contact members using E-mail, fax, or
telephone. Meetings Squadron members and their spouses or significant others
meet each month (except July and August) at the Keyport Yacht Club.
The Squadron provides a light dinner starting at 7 PM.
This permits some members to arrive directly from work. At these meetings, the Bridge Officers and committee
chairpersons make brief reports to the squadron regarding upcoming events,
educational opportunities, and other items of general interest to members.
Following the short business meeting, there is generally a program of
interest to the members, such as a speaker from an engine manufacturer, a marine
surveyor, interesting video programs, etc.
The evening is capped with socializing and boat talk.
Dress is informal at these meetings, as some members come directly from
their jobs. You will notice some
members wearing USPS blazers. (See
Uniforms below for additional information on this subject.)
You should try to attend the next meeting with your spouse to receive
your USPS Membership Certificate and USPS lapel pin. This is where you will get to meet and know your fellow
members and their spouses. Our
members are eager to meet you and want you to feel welcome. You will also notice that many members are wearing a special
squadron nametag. If you would like
to order one, you may do so at a meeting or by calling the squadron Property
Officer, whose name can be found in the squadron roster. The current cost is $8 and it will take a month or so to
obtain. Publications Squadron Roster The squadron roster
is printed once each year in March. Your
name and information will appear when it is next printed.
In the interim, new members are introduced to the squadron in our monthly
publication, Relative Bearings.
On the inside cover of the roster, you will find the Squadron
activity calendar. In the back of
the roster are statistics about squadron members.
Notice that a significant number of members do not own boats. Ensign This is the national USPS publication and is sent to every
USPS member by-monthly. It contains
messages from national headquarters, information of interest to all USPS
members, and many interesting boating articles submitted by USPS members from
around the country. You should
receive your first issue in the month following your membership. If it is not received, contact the Membership Chairman. Relative Bearings This is our squadron publication. It is published monthly and includes meeting dates,
notification of events, news articles, photos, stories, and other items of
interest to our members. You are encouraged to submit articles that would be
interesting to fellow boaters and squadron members. Some of Your Membership
Benefits The Best Boating Education
Available In the World Safe boating through education is fundamental to what USPS
is about. We offer a comprehensive
group of courses to USPS members. You
received a description of USPS courses when you enrolled in the Boating course.
Descriptions are also found on our squadron web site. Insurance Discounts When you receive your USPS certificate, you should notify your insurance company of your membership. Many coverage providers extend premium discounts to USPS members. If you are in need of an insurance policy for your boat, consider that USPS has a relationship with a national insurance company, and provides very competitive rates for an excellent policy. You can get a quote through the USPS Internet site, or by calling USPS at (888) 367-8777. In addition, be sure to advise your insurer as you complete other USPS courses. Some insurers provide additional discounts as your boating education expands. Boat/US Membership Discount When you passed the Boating
course, you received a packet from Boat/US offering a free one-year membership.
Should you decide to continue your membership in Boat/US at the end of
the first year, you will receive a 50% discount as a USPS member if, when
renewing, you indicate that you are a USPS member.
Although Boat/US has no affiliation with USPS, it has created the Boat/US
Foundation that lobbies in behalf of all boaters, has an interesting quarterly
publication, provides a limited amount of free towing, and offers other services
to its members. Free Admission to the New York
Boat Show USPS members presenting a
valid membership card at the Information Desk are admitted free on the first
Monday following the opening of the New York Boat Show. Soundings Publication USPS members receive a
discounted subscription rate to Soundings,
a premiere boating publication. Towing Service Discounts You receive discounted membership with SEA TOW and VESSEL ASSIST towing services. You May Propose
Others for USPS Membership
As a USPS member, you may propose others for membership.
Why not consider proposing your family members for membership.
USPS provides special reduced-cost membership categories for family
members. Ask our Membership
chairperson for details. USPS bylaws require that proposed members have passed
an examination to ensure at least minimal boating knowledge.
If anyone you know has successfully completed any
National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved
boating course (including the USPS Boating course or the Coast Guard Auxiliary
Boating course), the certification of completion will satisfy our admission
criteria. If someone you know has many years of boating
experience, yet has not completed an approved boating course, he or she need not
sit in a class, but may obtain and read the course manual and then take the
exam. Note that at this time in the
state of New Jersey, one must have at least eight hours of classroom instruction and successfully complete a proctored exam
to receive a New Jersey State Police certificate. If your acquaintance has limited boating education or
experience, he or she can enroll in our next Boating course. We offer these twice yearly in two locations.
Contact our Membership chairperson for additional details. Other Useful Things You
Should Know Membership Certificate When you receive your USPS certificate, you will notice
that it contains a set of small squares around the border. This
is where you will attach certification stickers as you complete USPS courses.
You will be advised of the availability and start dates for our various
courses in the squadron monthly mailings and through our web site.
Your next course should be
"Seamanship." This course picks
up where the Boating course ended. You
have received an outline of the many courses available to you as a member.
Generally, the Elective Courses, such as Weather, Sail, Engine
Maintenance, Marine Electronics, Cruise Planning, and Instructor Development may
be taken in any order, since understanding them does not depend on knowledge
gained from previous courses. By
contrast, Advanced Grade courses: Seamanship, Piloting, Advanced Piloting,
Junior Navigation and Navigation, must be taken in sequence, since they progressively build upon
the knowledge acquired in prerequisite courses.
When a course that interests you is announced, please contact the
appropriate course chairperson promptly, as course materials must be
ordered from headquarters. Uniforms Although you are entitled to wear a USPS uniform, it
is never required, and
you may choose not to invest in one.
You may, however, want to consider wearing a navy blue blazer and gray
slacks, with white shirt and dark tie to squadron functions. Women members may want to wear a gray skirt with their
blazer. This is the informal
uniform of USPS. You can obtain a
patch with USPS emblem and, optionally, your grade level to wear on your jacket
pocket. This patch is available
with a backing that slips into your breast pocket.
At meetings, you will see some members wearing this on their blazer.
Any Bridge Officer can tell you where to obtain a USPS blazer pocket
patch. Merit Marks Members who perform work for the Squadron throughout the
year can earn a Merit Mark.
When you contribute time and effort to the Squadron, perhaps by
actively serving on a committee, helping to teach the Boating course, helping to
organize or run a squadron event, or performing other significant service to the
Squadron, the Squadron Commander may recommend to the USPS Chief Commander that
you be awarded a Merit Mark. Members
who have earned twenty-five Merit Marks are no longer required to pay dues, and
are known as Life Members. We have
several in our squadron. You can,
however, earn only one Merit Mark each year.
In addition to the personal satisfaction of a job well done, Merit Marks
are the only "pay" we receive for our efforts.
If you should choose to obtain the USPS uniform, Merit Mark insignia are
worn on the uniform sleeve. The
number of Merit Marks you have earned is also listed next to your name in the
Squadron roster. Flying the USPS Ensign and
Squadron Burgee As a USPS member, you may fly the USPS Ensign, a picture
of which is displayed on the cover of the Squadron roster.
You may also fly the Raritan Bay Squadron burgee.
Our Flag and Etiquette Officer can explain how and where to fly them on
your particular boat. You can also
find this information in Chapman Piloting (Elbert
S. Mahoney), the "boater's
bible." Another extensive source
is the USPS Learning Guide, "How to fly
Flags" available from headquarters. This publication is listed on the
inside cover of the Boating course manual. Much flag flying information is
also available on our national USPS web site. or the LINKS page of our squadron
web site, rbps.org.. Incidentally,
Chapman was one of the founders of USPS. You
can purchase a squadron burgee through the squadron Property and Supply Officer,
who frequently brings them, along
with other squadron logo merchandise, to squadron meetings. Educational Funds The USPS Educational Fund is a foundation that was
established many years ago for the purpose of aiding USPS with its educational
needs. USPS does not control the
foundation, but receives grants of money from the fund for its educational
needs. For example, the fund
subsidizes the production and printing of our various course materials, which in
turn reduces the cost to our members. The
fund grants many thousands of dollars to USPS each year. Squadron members throughout the country make donations to the
fund. Our squadron donates one
dollar per member each year to this fund from its own educational Fund.
Our squadron has a parallel fund, the Simon H. Goldstein Educational
Fund, which exists for the benefit of our squadron's educational needs.
If, for instance, if the squadron requires a new teaching aid, this fund
provides the money. Port Captains Wherever there is water in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas and Virgin Islands, there are USPS Port Captains who provide information and local knowledge to our members when they travel or cruise outside their home waters. Members can find a listing of Port Captains on the USPS member web page. Port Captains stand ready to assist fellow USPS members with information regarding repairs, where to obtain provisioning, where good restaurants and hotels can be found, what to do and see, and other information a cruising USPS member may desire. They are a wonderful resource to members whether they are traveling on water or on land. It's like having your own personal travel agent where ever you travel or plan to travel. Port Captains Now that you have a Squadron roster, you have a wealth of
information and experience available to you.
Whatever information you need regarding boating, there are members who
have it. If you've got questions, we've
got answers. So come to a meeting or other squadron event and ask some questions, or
make some phone calls. If
you have a question about your engine, start by calling the chairman of the
Engine Maintenance course. If you
want to know something about GPS, Loran, or VHF radio, call the Marine
Electronics course chairman. If
it's a question about a sailboat, contact the Sail course chairman.
You get the idea. Start
thinking about areas you want to learn more about.
Talk to fellow members to get their ideas. Check out any squadron courses that may cover those subjects.
Ask about the supplemental education programs called Learning Guides.
Sign up for a course! The best way to get to know fellow members is to
attend meetings and serve on one of the many committees listed in the roster.
Look over the committees. There
may be a committee that is a natural fit for your skills, interests, or
background. Or maybe there's one
that can help you develop skills in a whole new area.
If you are willing to serve on one of the committees, let one of the
Bridge Officers know. Most
committees require little time, and the committee chairperson is always eager to
have additional members. You will
be welcomed with open arms by any committee. You are now part of a great family-oriented organization.
Everything we do involves the family, from picnics to boating activities
to meetings. In order to get the
most out of USPS, you need to put something in.
Get involved in activities! Take
courses! USPS has a lot to offer
you. All you have to do is reach
out and take it. The next step is
up to you. Welcome Aboard! Commander Raritan Bay Power

More breakfast options
I would definitely stay at the motel again great service people are very polite not noisy I took my grandchildren with me we all had a good time a little more options for the breakfast continental breakfast would be greatWhen my daughter in law and son arrived, their family was unable to stay due to the desk person indicating only 2 adults were booked. On priceline, I booked 2 queen beds- there was never a question about how many people were staying.
The front desk person would not let them check in due to the reservation from priceline saying 2 adults rather than for 2 queen beds which was what i picked.
The front desk person was rude and unwilling to work with my son and his family. The gift I had planned for them turned out to be a disaster. They had to go to another hotel to spend the night after a long day of driving. This was a terrible experience!They cancel my key and he wanted to charge me more money for my room because the rate for the night was more expensive. I made reservation for my friend and they were asking her for 30.00 more for her 2 kids Not going there any more
Good bed. At door parking.
The person at the desk was very surly and acted like we were disturbing him. He was also at the desk the next morning and in the same exact mood.
We never arrived and tried to cancel only to be directed to the manager who couldn't speak English.
We are still waiting to receive our money back from the room after we were charged a cancelable fee.Staff seemed a bit rude and nosey as to why I was there. Came back atty night and both my key cards wouldn't work and they acted like it was such a task to get me another card programmed.

I came across this quote from George Carlin and it is so true. "That's all you need in life, a little place for your stuff. That's all your house is: a place to keep your stuff. If you didn't have so much stuff, you wouldn't need a house. A house is just a pile of stuff with a cover on it. That's what your house is, it's a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff. Sometimes you gotta move, gotta get a bigger house. Why? No room for your stuff anymore. You've gotta move all your stuff, and maybe put some of your stuff in storage. Imagine that there's a whole industry based on keeping an eye on your stuff."
I'm sure the snow gets deeper in many places but to me this is almost unthinkable. I live in Arkansas and we may get one or 2 snowfalls a year and only a few inches. It usually melts at least in a week. I've only seen it 12inches deep here once in my lifetime. I just can't imagine it so deep that the deer have to plow their way though with only their heads above. I've seen pictures of where houses are almost covered and it just seems so unreal. I couldn't imagine living where it is that cold or where there is that much snow. I might want to visit but never live in places like that. I'm wondering how the animals find food when the snow is that deep. And where do they sleep. It makes me really thankful that I live where I live. I'm so fortunate.
I finished February issue of Stitching Memories Magazine. It was my first time to do it and think it turned out nicely. It is FREE and you do not have to join "box" to get it. It is a large pdf file so may take time to download. Let me know what you think. Hugs. Barb www.box.net/shared/rb73td61s4
I've been working on the Stitching Memories Magazine most of today. I did get out and walk for 40 minutes FAST. Weather has been glorious....warm and sunny. So nice for walking. The picture is from one of the pages in the magazine. It is showing 2 handmade Valentines. I found out that I can do digital scrapbooking with my corel program. Yipee!!! I'm so excited. My Windows media also comes with a program to put my pictures to music and make a DVD. I had bought the Poloroid program back in the fall and it has been difficult for me to learn to use. I have since been using Smile Box. But now I can use Corel and do them. The magazine will hopefully go out tomorrow.
Colors of Love Love! Love can be red, like the intense heat of a passionate kiss .....the color of sweetness .....the color of strawberries Love can be blue, like the comfort we take in a pair of denim jeans .....the color of strength .....the color of perfect skies Love can be yellow, bright and warm like the morning sun .....like the sounds of laughters of children on the merry-go-round .....like the sounds of fun from the boys flying kites in the open fields Love can be green, peaceful and serene I can hear your heart beats .....it is the feeling of a loving hand that touch a grieving heart .....it is the whispering of trusting words to a distressing soul Love can be orange, the loudness of it can drive you up a wall .....it can drive you to sing like nobody is listening .....it can drive you to dance like nobody is watching Love can be purple, the courage we need to love bravely and unselfishly .....the moment I first kiss you i know that i am not afraid to risk involvement .....the day the declaration of your love for me was made known to the world by Arun Kumar

Foligno, Winchester score in third to give Sens 2nd win in 6 games
PHILADELPHIA -- In a game that featured two struggling offenses, the Ottawa Senators beat the Philadelphia Flyers with defense.
Brian Elliott made 22 saves in his second NHL shutout and Nick Foligno and Jesse Winchester scored third-period goals to give Ottawa a 2-0 victory over the slumping Flyers on Thursday night.
Foligno took a wrist shot from just above the circle and then put his rebound past diving goalie Brian Boucher with 8:29 left. Boucher had smothered another drive by Foligno a few minutes earlier.
"I just kept going to the net and making opportunities," Foligno said. "I was happy to put that one home."
Winchester sealed the victory with a short-handed, empty-net goal in the final minute. The Senators scored 12 goals in their previous five games, earning their lone win in a shootout against Anaheim.
It was the first shutout this season for the Senators (15-11), who have two wins in their past six games.
"It feels pretty good," Elliott said. "We didn't have a lot of Grade-A scoring chances. We had a lot of shots from outside. To bang one of those in and finally get a bounce and be able to hold them off through power plays and blocking shots. You can't tell how many times guys are blocking shots.
"Those are the types of things that win you games."
The Flyers (14-14) were blanked for the third time in six games. They are 1-3 under new coach Peter Laviolette, who replaced the fired John Stevens a week ago after Philadelphia's two consecutive shutout losses.
"There was a shot, I poked the rebound away and the guy came and I poked it as he was coming in," Boucher said of the winning goal. "It rode up my stick and up, over, bounced and over my glove. It's frustrating for the team right now. We need wins and we're not getting it."
Philadelphia, which lost six of seven before the coaching change, has scored only 11 goals in seven games. Six of those came in a 6-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Tuesday.
"We're playing hard," forward Scott Hartnell said. "We're skating well. Compared to last game, we weren't getting the shots through. We had a couple whacks where their D-men would block us.
"That's just not bearing down enough and getting in front of the net and getting to the hard areas. We have to do a better job, and need to get those greasy goals. It's not going to be tic-tac-toe, and in practice we need to get our nails dirty, get in there."
Philadelphia missed some prime scoring opportunities. One came on a 5-on-3 power play in the first period. Another chance came in the second, when Matt Carle appeared to score in front of a crowded net, but referees ruled that Elliot was pushed into the net by Hartnell.
The play wasn't reviewed.
"Carle shot the puck," Hartnell said. "I saw the goalie when I was in front of the net, the puck was basically between his legs at his goal skates, and before I touched him his goal skates were almost near the back of the net. I just was there pushing [the puck]. From my vantage point, it was in the net."
Hartnell had a chance with 5:47 left in the second period, but Elliott stretched across the net to thwart the backhanded breakaway attempt.
"That wasn't the difference," Hartnell said. "They played pretty hard. They probably blocked 20 or 25 shots. Their D-men were blocking everything, and we just couldn't seem to get those pucks around the net."
The Senators were glad to take the tight victory.
"Any win on the road is a big win, and any win at this time of the year is big," Ottawa coach Cory Clouston said. "We've been struggling a little bit as of late. Brian was real solid. I thought our guys did a real good job of blocking shots and getting in shooting lanes."
Game notes
X-rays taken on the right wrist of Flyers captain Mike Richards were negative. Richards was checked into the boards by Matt Carkner. ... The last time the Flyers were shut out three times in as few of six games was Dec. 6-14, 1968, when it happened in four games. ... Jeff Carter played in his 243rd consecutive game, the fifth-longest streak in Flyers history. ... Elliott posted his other NHL shutout on March 29 against Tampa Bay. ... Boucher is 1-5-1 in eight career starts against Ottawa.

"Invited by Louis XIV in 1685." Top 5 Page for this destination Versailles Tip by breughel
Versailles, Paris: 206 reviews and 387 photos
When visiting the drawing-rooms of Venus, Abundance, Diane and Mars one can imagine going back a few centuries and attend one of the evening receptions which Louis XIV offered to the Court in his Grand Apartments three times per week from 18 to 22 h. The festivities began with music, dances, parts of billiards in the Diane room (the king played billiards very well) and cards.
A light dinner was served in the Venus room on silver tables weighing more than 300 kg. These tables were covered with dishes, vases, candlesticks in silver like all the furniture. In the Abundance room were the dressers, also in silver, for fine liquors, wines, tea, coffee and hot chocolate.
The rooms were lit by thousands of candles. The Mars room was the ballroom.
The Venus drawing-room owes its name to the mythological painting of the ceiling by Houasse. The room is decorated with "trompe l'oeil" paintings which give the effect to be sculptures and of a statue of Louis XIV.
The rather small room known as "Abundance room" owes its name to the painting of the ceiling representing "Abundance and the Liberality" of the painter Rene-Antoine Houasse (1683). The room opened on the Cabinet of Curiosities which contained the royal collections.
I liked the walls covered with an emerald green and gold velvet (restored in 1955) what contrasts with other decorations of the Royal Apartments. As we can see it today the décor of the "Salon de l'Abondance" goes back to King Louis Philippe. In the Diane drawing-room stands a remarkable bust of the king by the Italian sculptor Le Bernin.
In that period all the rooms of the "Grands Appartements du Roi" were decorated with silver furniture. There remains nothing of it. In December 1689 the King had all the silver furniture of his Apartments melted down to finance his wars. That represented 20 tons of silver. All these beautiful artefacts in silver had cost 10 million "livres" (pounds) of that time; Louis XIV obtained only 2 million livres. An enormous destruction of art!
Nota bene:
I read here "Versailles is mostly the creation of Louis XIV (23 August 1754 – 21 January 1793)"
To avoid confusion Louis XIV was born in 1638 and died in 1715.
It was Louis XVI, born in 1754, who died on the guillotine in 1793!
Address: Versailles, Château, Grands Appartements du Roi.

I'm sure plenty of you are celebrating the holidays surrounded by snow. That's never really been my thing, though.
Growing up in the southern hemisphere and then moving to California means that I've never really had a good proper winter holiday. And that probably explains why I'm so keen to post this great daytime disco track by Poolside, off their debut album Pacific Standard Time.
It's super groovy, right? These guys are really onto something quite fun with this style.

It sounded to me like it would be a hub model ala Guild Wars 1, Path of Exile, etc *don't mention Hellgate London!*. go to town to form groups, trade, etc with the world at large and then off into instanced zones to kill and loot. Probably hoping for too much and it will all be tightly regulated but FPS ARPG with the loot to go with it would be my dream game |

Purchased to put outside back door, to clean dirt and bread (from the birds) off shoes before entering the house.The openwork pattern works well at scraping things off the shoes, such as the bread the birds drop on the gravel, instead of eating it!!!Works well, and waterproof too, so can be left out all the time.

I agree with most of the comments here. AA was mostly good accept for some stupid forced passes int he center of the field . I think he will get better in the future games. The things I was most disappointed with was the tackles. Guys would hit them in negative territory and they would gain 7 yards. All in all a positive game. I think the D will show up in the Red zone and I think the O will carie us!

Sportscar |
Herb Cox raced the car during the mid-1960s in SCCA events. Records indicate it competed until around 1967. A short time later, Mr. Cox passed away due to cancer. The widow of Herb Cox sold the car. It passed through two owners who had used the vehicle in Ohio for street use. The fourth owner performed a restoration and fitted the car with a 2.8 liter flat six with 6 downdraft Weber carburetors. It has a Porsche transaxle, modern safety features. Since that time it has been used sparingly, even seeing some track time.

That said, it's well worth jumping off the Surin-bound bus for a detour to the fine Khmer ruins of Prasat Hin Khao Phanom Rung and Prasat Muang Tam. Built during the same period as Phimai, and for the same purpose, the temple complexes form two more links in the chain that once connected the Khmer capital of Angkor with the limits of its empire. Sited dramatically atop an extinct volcano, Phanom Rung has been beautifully restored, and the more recently renovated Muang Tam lies on the plains below.

There's a reason I write… I'm much better at it.
And I totally have something in my teeth.
Blogging, bloggers and things you find on blogs
There's a reason I write… I'm much better at it.
And I totally have something in my teeth.
This afternoon I received a text from my brother: "Can you retweet my last tweet? Morgan Sacco's sister is missing in Nepal."
I remembered instantly who Ryan was talking about. I didn't know her well, but I saw Aubrey on the CU campus probably only a handful of times. Regardless, it scared me right out of my sleepy stupor; she had been traveling in southeast Asia on her own. I checked Ryan's Twitter account and found a link to the Facebook group, where people have been posting messages of support and the membership has been growing steadily. Aubrey's cousin Amanda has asked people to spread the word, especially on social media, so we can find people who can help.
Aubrey's last verified location was at Shyabrubesi on April 20, where she checked in before her trek and after she arrived from a bus trip from Kathmandu. She was trekking the Langtang region and planning on taking a popular route from the Lonely Planet guide. She was supposed to be back by April 30 or May 1, when her parents expected to have heard back from her — but nobody has heard from her.
Since then, there have been strikes in Nepal — strikes that have shut down shops, transportation, and services all over the country. There's a strong likelyhood that Aubrey has been unable to contact family because of these strikes, but the Saccos still want to find their daughter is and it's the community's duty to help make it happen.
I rang up (okay, direct-messaged) the Elephant Journal with a plea: please help! Knowing that readers of the Elephant Journal not only care about the well-being of a valued member of the spiritual community, but may even know others who can help find Aubrey, I figured it would be one of the best ways to spread the word on social media.
Waylon got back to me in minutes. He said he'd publish something if I could get it to him this afternoon. After getting ahold of Connie, Aubrey's mother, I had a detailed explanation of the circumstances and a piece to go with. Also, the Daily Camera was looking for information. By evening, the Daily Camera / Colorado Daily, Greeley Tribune, and the Elephant Journal all had information about Aubrey posted on their sites. Faithful Elephant Journal readers are tweeting and re-tweeting about Aubrey.
Today I have seen a huge demonstration of community and I'm hoping that this continues. The Saccos are a good family and they deserve to see their daughter step off the plane on May 15, when she is scheduled to come back home.
Before then — and I mean, right NOW — please spread the word. Pass these links along. Tweet about it. Join the Facebook group. Do whatever you can do get this message around the world and in the hands of people who might be able to help.
UPDATE: The Denver Post is also writing about Aubrey and I've included the link below.
UPDATE, pt. 2: The Greeley Tribune has published a piece about Aubrey for the Tuesday edition. Link below.
UPDATE, pt. 3: I've added a few more blog posts and television coverage.
Other links about Aubrey:
The family can be contacted at email@example.com and welcome any e-mails with information or helpful contacts in the Langtang region.
For a few weeks now, I have been silly busy. I've even been too busy to post a Must Read/See/Hear update; there's just so much going on, like moving, finding a job, and attending boatloads of events.
It's been nice being busy. My mind has generally been occupied with the future, my ambitions, what I need to do to succeed at this point in my life, and actually, the relationships I have around me that keep me balanced and sane. While I get a little frustrated every day, I'm also in this very great period of personal growth — and I'm getting outside of my comfort zone, just like I intended to by moving to San Diego.
Anyhow, I thought I'd post on my blog for several reasons: first, Butch keeps bugging me about my Must Read/See/Hear series (which shall return even as soon as this Monday); second, I should definitely keep this remotely updated and post something during the month of April; and third, I wanted to post a rundown of all the fun things I've been doing this month that will appear on the blog within the next few weeks.
So what will I be eagerly writing about soon?
Phew. That's a lot, really. How many exclamation points did I use there? (No, really… don't count.) April really has been an extremely exciting month for me, and I'm hoping that it only gets better as May rolls around.
And with that, I'll also have plenty about being a complete fangirl and getting the chance to meet Spoon. (Yes, I met Britt Daniel! And I kept my composure!)
Until then, this busy little bee needs her beauty rest…
Ugh, it's already Monday?
It may be yet another week following far too short of a weekend, but there's really no choice but to own up to the Mondays and dig in anyhow. I guess that's part of why I write this Must Read/See/Hear series — to get over my "Mondays" and start the week with something good for me to share, and hopefully, something good for you to read.
Anyhow, here we go: new things for your enjoyment on a Monday morning.
One of my favorite online reads is elephantjournal.com, a Boulder, Colo.-based blog, webcast, and general guide to well-being that provides a lot of articles relevant to what founder (and friendly face) Waylon Lewis calls 'the mindful life'. If you ask me, elephantjournal.com really embodies what living in Boulder is all about: living conscientiously, and sharing that mindset with others.
Although I'm not in Boulder anymore — and I know that I'm pretty vocal about missing it so much — it's really nice to be able to read about politics, spirituality, health and much more from the Boulder state of mind when I'm all the way out here in California. But the reason that works out so well is that it's not just 'Boulder' thing to be mindful of one's lifestyle — it's something all of us should be concerned about, and it's relevant no matter where you live. I also follow @elephantjournal on Twitter to keep up with what's going on.
My favorite pieces lately include posts talks about farmer's markets and eating in support of sustainability and an older post about slow food vs. vegetarianism. There's also a fair amount of humor and politics to go around, and I can always get a quick solution to homesickness with the abundance of videos featuring Waylon and the ele-crew enlightening and entertaining the Boulder community.
Thanks to elephantjournal.com, in fact, I saw this great segment of Jon Stewart mocking Glenn Beck on the Daily Show. Stewart channels Beck not just for the sake of comedy but because Beck, regardless of political affiliation, deserves to be called out for his absurd theatrics.

"What? Jen, you like Spoon? No way…"
All right, all right. I know. I can't leave it alone. But Spoon played at SXSW this week and the entire 18-song (!!) set that was aired during a live webcast is now online at NPR.org. It's just way too good not to share!
If you like rock in any capacity, you'll definitely like this. If you have never heard Spoon before, it's a great opportunity to hear why they have such an incredible fan base. And if you love Spoon as much as I do, you can download the set and listen to it anytime!
I decided to take it upon myself to finally upload WordPress 2.7.1 (or whatever it is right now) onto my own space. It's only changed just a little; it's technically at http://www.jennifermnewell.com/blog instead of http://blog.jennifermnewell.com/, although I have it redirecting both from http://jennyjenjen.wordpress.com/ (my pre-domain-ownership address) and http://blog.jennifermnewell.com/ to the new address. So basically, everything's up and running.
I couldn't figure out how to export/import my blogroll, and probably just should've used de.li.cious, but I think I'll do that another day. It wasn't too difficult to do the blogroll by hand as an excuse to waste time and watch television instead (HD at the parents' house is awesome!).
I also spent a good while messing around with PHP and making myself a new homepage. I probably didn't need to do all of that when I did it, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I just wanted something simple, and I was also hell-bent on not having to use other services to put a feed up of my posts on my website. Why not just make my blog the homepage? I dunno, I kinda wanted some space to show the world the project I've been working on, and I didn't want some of my little CSS tricks to go to waste. Besides, if I ever got motivated enough to make something decent in Flash, I could also put it there.
I've published my first blog post for the South Africa Project!
(And I'm writing a blog post about a blog post! Go me!)
I'm really excited about this because I've been working for the South Africa Project for something like a month now and have really only used Twitter, Facebook, and to a degree worked on the MySpace and Flickr pages. This has been an opportunity for me to really write.
The South Africa Project is a campaign built by the non-profit organization Ubuntu Now, aimed at bringing attention to social issues in South Africa during the 2010 World Cup. The five areas of focus for the South Africa project are promoting gender equality, rape prevention and female empowerment, post-rape care for victims, orphan support, and providing access to financial independence. We have just become a certified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization.
As for my first blog post, I wrote about the legacy of Olof Palme, the Swedish Prime Minister who was assassinated in 1986 outside of a cinema. Palme's name is probably forgotten to most people nowadays, especially in this part of the world, but his death sent shockwaves through Sweden and Europe, as it was unfathomable to the Swedish people that one of their public officials could be murdered in such a callous manner. To this day, many Swedish officials are able to live without round-the-clock protection from a bodyguard, but more are choosing to travel with protection; Sweden revisited the shock of losing a public official in 2003 with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anna Lindh, was murdered while shopping in a Stockholm department store.
Palme was known around the world for his committment to peace, justice, and equality, shown in part by his stance against apartheid. I had written about media coverage during the investigation of Palme's death for an international media course several years ago, so I am rather familiar with Palme's story and was able to connect his involvement with South Africa when I began working on the South Africa Project. I believe that it's important to remember how Palme contributed to the struggle against apartheid when considering the ways in which we should approach the push for change in South Africa's current climate; despite the political freedoms granted in 1994 when all-race elections broke racial barriers, there are still serious issues regarding equality and justice that require worldwide attention. Although I have certain opinions when it comes to interfering with another nation's democratic process, I feel that these are very important issues that are relevant to the rest of the world, much in the way apartheid was; especially now that South Africa is hosting the World Cup in 2010, it would show a lack of responsibility to let these injustices go without being addressed. Palme serves as an example for how the international community should come together for such issues, and it is a shame that he is not here today to help the cause.
I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone who reads this goes and takes the time to visit the blog for the South Africa Project. I'd be great to get some traffic to the site, but I'd also love to see any comments — not just on my post, but on other posts, as well. Please go check it out!
It's been a busy week! I went back to work and started up classes again. But it was a week that had been prefaced by a truly great weekend: Chicks Who Click premiered in Boulder!
In December, I posted a quick blurb about wanting to attend Chicks Who Click, a conference created by Gwen Bell and Denise Smith and brought to the web by Danielle Jackson. I hadn't heard from anyone about it, so I just figured I'd make like any savvy social media junkie and do a Twitter search on it and call it a relaxing weekend. But by the time the weekend rolled around and a bunch of chicks had gone on the Eldora portion of the weekend, I had heard word about a tweetup of sorts at The b.side Lounge where Chicks Who Click were to converge. Naturally, I skipped on over and began to socialize.
I was very surprised and genuinely grateful to receive an invitation — a scholarship — from Doyle Albee at Metzger Associates to attend Chicks Who Click. I accepted, and suddenly my boring weekend turned into one about networking, social media, clicking, chicking, and loads more.
The day began with two very different speakers: Jenny Slade and Carole Billingham. While Carole taught us a method of meditation and gave her perspective on connecting with the world, Jenny gave a humorous and informative speech about women's role in technology and social media.
There are some great events that go on here in Boulder concerning various aspects of social media. I'll be going to Ignite Boulder this week, and hopefully someday I'll participate in Startup Weekend.
But an event coming up in January promises to be one for the ladies: Chicks Who Click.
I'm hoping I'll nab a chance to go — partially in telling you all about it — but I'm also hoping that this isn't the only opportunity for web-savvy, social media-interested women to get together through some fun activities, great talks and novel concepts under the Flatirons. I know it hasn't even happened yet, but the success I'm sure it will be will be enough reason to do it again!
If I get a chance to participate, of course I'll be blogging about it. If not, I'll be eagerly awaiting what the attendees have to say about it!
Happy Clicking!
I like short-form a little better than long-form anymore when it comes to Internet distribution of information. I just don't have time or patience when it comes to articulating myself on a daily basis, and things like Xanga (oh jeez) and LiveJournal are just not my thing as much anymore. I admit I'll keep up with friends who still use LiveJournal, and I'll post stuff on there once in a while, but for the most part I don't use either.
Instead, I have found myself on Tumblr. Check it out! Maybe I'll be using that quite a bit more.
Okay, I love you all my dear blogrolled friends, but I must point out this great blog that I found on a random Google search recently.
I was looking for something related to Swedish cuss/curse words and stumbled upon A Swedish American in Sweden. I'm really enjoying it so far and certainly glad I hit upon it.
The only thing is that it depresses me to read it. I would really like to be back in Sweden right now, as much as I am enjoying life in Boulder and the beginning of the end of uni life. Sure, I like a lot of things about being back in the States — an occasional long drive (certainly not as a daily commute, though, because I just like driving!), 24-hour groceries for those late nights of studying (though the late nights of studying don't really happen in Sweden), not paying out the ass to have a good night of barhopping with friends — but I do believe that my happiness was greater in Sweden. I miss speaking Swedish every day, having a more laid-back lifestyle, and just being healthier overall. Trust me, life is much healthier in Sweden — even from the viewpoint from living in Boulder for several years.
I will have to sit still for a little while, though, and have some patience. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get back to Sweden, However, I do know that if this next election goes horribly wrong that I will be a lot more willing to leave the U.S. a lot sooner.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and author of the essay collection "Shiksa Goddess" comes a dazzling debut novel, a comedy about New York's urban gentry living in a post-9/11 world.
"Elements of Style," the Pulitzer Prize--winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein's first novel," "is a scathing comedy about New York's high society facing the post--9/11 world.
Francesca Weissman, an Upper East Side pediatrician rated number one by "Manhattan" magazine, floats on the fringes of the upper strata of privilege and aspiration. Through her bemused eyes we meet the thoroughbred socialite Samantha Acton; relentless social climber Judy Tremont; Barry Santorini, an Oscar-winning moviemaker accustomed to having his way; his supermarket heiress wife, Clarice; and more, tossed together in a frothy stew of outrageous conspicuous consumption and adulterous affairs that play out on Page Six. But when Wasserstein's madcap tour of the social lives and mores of twenty-first-century Manhattan veers into tragedy, we finally see the true cost of her characters' choices, and the beating heart of this dazzling novel.
About the Author :
Wendy Wasserstein has contributed to Elements of Style as an author.
Wendy Wasserstein is the author of many plays, including The Heidi Chronicles, for which she received a Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize.

Preview: Kings at Rockets
Written by Mar 26, 2012, 11:19 pm
No Comment • Related Topics: Featured, Previews
The Sacramento Kings (17-31) will battle the playoff contending and injury depleted Houston Rockets (26-23) today in what will hopefully be known as the Terrence Williams stick it to his old squad game… (ok probably not). The Kings are coming off two excruciating painful losses against the Jazz at home and the Warriors on the road. Key mental errors such as 4th quarter free throw shooting and turnovers cost the teams in both games. They also played horrible defense (but that's not going to change anytime soon this year). The Kings have won only 4 games on the road (4-21) this season which is just completely disgraceful even for a young team. The early word is that JT will play tonight and based on comments from Keith Smart, we might see Terrence Williams again in spot minutes to audition for being the "glue guy".
Projected Starters
PG- Isaiah Thomas
SG- Marcus Thornton
SF- Tyreke Evans
PF- Jason Thompson
C- DeMarcus Cousins
PG- Goran Dragic
SG- Courtney Lee
SF- Chandler Parsons
PF- Luis Scola
C- Samuel Dalembert
Key Match-up:
Isaiah Thomas vs Goran Dragic. Samuel Dalembert loves to come over and weak side shot block so therefore the Hustling Husky must penetrate and get Dalembert out of position for quick drop-offs to both Cuz, JT and even Hayes for easy baskets. Goran Dragic is a starting point guard on a lot of NBA teams and will not hesitate to drop dimes or wet jumpers off the pick and roll game. He also has one of the best spin moves in the lane in the league as Derek Fisher and the Lakers defense would remember very well. This should be an entertaining match-up of young up and coming point guards.
What I will be watching:
The 3-point shooting and productivity of Marcus Thornton and Tyreke Evans.
The Kings shot the long ball horribly on Saturday night against Golden State and the needed up-to-par performance of Marcus Thornton and Tyreke Evans was only there from Evans. As hard as it is for this team to win consistently, when one of those two guys has an off night AND the team is on the road, they have no shot to win.
News of the Day:
Read this excellent take from Sactown Royalty contributor Greg Wissinger on being a Kings fan and why its worth it.
Prediction: Win
The Kings will break their depressing road woes by coming up with a scrappy win tonight. The End.

This a Core2Duo and a galaxy low profile 9600gt would make a awesome little HTPC. |
Is the 9600GT really required? I think the 9300M can decode HD video on its own pretty well, or am I confusing that with the 9400M? |
Required... no, but a perk... yes. The addition of a discreet gpu like the 9600 would allow for some healthy gaming. |
It's definitely a decent board -- if I didn't already have a SFF PC for my HTPC I would probably think on this. My only drawback I see is that this board only has 2 onboard SATA ports...I'd want something with 4 (its what I have now and I would never go any other way) |
Yeah that really only leaves a hard drive and a DVD drive. I got to be honest I am kinda lusting after this thing though. |
It does have an x16 slot...you could find a x16 SATA controller? lol |
Not what I would put in the x16 slot, but if you want a nice home server that would be a great solution. |
