Great quote comes to mind: "The best time to buy a new digital camera is when it's NEW."
I wouldn't buy a 60D, T4i, or 7D today. They will all be replaced soon.
Wait or buy a 6D, 5DIII, 1Dx etc.
I would consider buying a 7D if the price on new units falls well below $1000. It might, it might not. I'll probably just buy a 6D by late summer, and keep my 50D (its noise isn't that much worse than the 7D, and the AF is way more usable than all the unfairly negative criticism would appear). But I want the 6D/24-105 combo for the "nice price", which hasn't quite happened yet. It's been close once, supposedly. However, if I start seeing used 6D's going for $1150 and below, then I think I'll just spend more and get a new 5D3/24-105 instead. The only used 6D's on amazon so far, are listed the same as the new price...or else within $100 of the new price (~1700-$1850). Of course it's only been out three months. I am more price conscious than many on here, mostly because I don't make $10k a week from doing photography.

Super M vs. reg M.
Are there any physical differences between the two? How can someone tell the difference by looking at the two if the sticker on the gas tank is not on them?
I don't have an M, but as far as I know the Super indicated that the tractor had hydraulics. I do have a Super A and have seen many A tractors and what you notice right away is the hydraulics are missing.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment.
1959 LO-Boy 1950 Super A
SM was built in 3 stages, improvements included cam driven live hyd, disc brakes battery under the seat,and independent pto and TA in 54. Best to check serial tags and casting numbers as a lot of M's have been upgraded to live hyd.
The best way to tell a M from a Super M is look at the serial number tag. The serial number on a M starts out with the prefix FBK. A Super M will start out with F-### or L-###.
The early Super M's were very similar to the last straight M's--non-live Lift-All hydraulics, battery under the gas tank, etc. Some of the very last M's had IH FACTORY disk brakes so that's not a 100% indicator either.
White Demo Super A Restoration Updates
Let us pray for farmers and all who prepare the soil for planting, that the seeds they sow may lead to a bountiful harvest.
The one sure fire way of telling them apart is the brakes.
Super M has disc brakes . There by the drivers feet and there cast iron covers about 12 to 14 " in dia.
"M" the brakes are band and the covers for them are sheet metal.
But there was a few Ms that a disc brake conversion was done to , it was after market.
Violance is justified in the service of man .
Atila The Hun .
While some M's had Lambert aftermarket disk brakes installed later in life, the very last M's had IH factory disk brakes, just like the Super M. The sure way to tell a M from a Super M is to look at the serial number plate.

Well i think people on here are expecting next year's Grammy award winning album. Here is the deal about the CD from a wrestling fan to another, The CD is good. Most of the themes are currently being used by the wrestlers. These wrestlers are: Jeff hardy, Kofi, Beth Phoenix, Mark Henry, Hawkins & Ryder, ECW brand, Jesse & Festus, Candice Michelle, Shelton Benjamin, Mr.Kennedy and John Morrison. So if you dig their actual entrance themes well thats exactly what you are getting.The few songs that are not "covers" but newly recorded versions are cool too. Y2J's theme on this CD is slower but rockin' and pretty heavy. Theory Of A Dead man's version of Vince's theme is awesome too. As far the WWE holding off to give us better themes, which superstar out there has a theme we don't already have? The CD is great for WWE fans of the music.
wwe Biography - wwe Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
CD AUDIO SIDE: Entire Album DVD SIDE: * Entire album in enhanced LPCM Stereo * The film The Story of Back in Black, featuring interviews with the band, archival footage, and in-studio performances of "Hells Bells," "You Shook Me All Night Long," "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," "Shoot to Thrill," and more * Discography This disc is intended to play on standard DVD and CD players. May not play on a limited number of models.Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, a big cartoon. All true, of course, and–on rock 'n' ragers like "What Do You Do For Money Honey," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and the title track–all great. As Scott's replacement Brian Johnson reminds us, loud and crunchy, no-holds-barred "rock and roll ain't noise pollution…it makes good, good sense." Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back in Black. –David Cantwell

A good wwe cd but the sound quality was bad on some songs. Manly track 5 enetitled in the middle of it now. But I personally love track No chance in hell by theory of a deadman, The ECW theme by slavia featuring Brent Smith of Shinedown. And of course turn up the trouble by AIRBourne.
i love anything about the wwe. but this cd sucked big time. i'm hoping wwe the music volume 9 is 100 percent better then this last one was. the sound was low and just didnt sound like a wwe theme cd. i wouldnt tell no one to buy this cd.
First of all, I don't like the inexpensive cardboard CD folder.
As for the songs, I was surprised by how enjoyable Kofi's song is. The ECW theme is clearly the best song on the CD, but I have often questioned why they chose this theme for ECW.
I would have rather had Jeff Hardy's original Hardy Boyz theme and Chris Jericho's current theme, similar to what is found on WWE The Music 4 and Anthology. I also like Kennedy's previous version more than the version on this CD.
This CD features so-so covers of McMahon's theme, Shelton's theme, Jericho's theme, and Kennedy's theme, which now lacks Kennedy's "MR KENNEDY!!! voicover.
Overall, it is an ok CD. I think they should have waited a little longer and given us better, more original themes with less cover songs.
When I picked this up, I knew there would be some good tracks and some bad ones. And boy was I right. The tracks that I liked was Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, the ECW theme, Shelton Benjamin, and Mr. Kennedy. However the tracks I was wondering of how in the hell did these make it were Mark Henry(didn't he just have a theme on Wreckless Intent), Jillian, and sadly the Y2J theme. Overall, I would pick this up to add to my collection. One theme I would have put on here is Umaga's.

Post-show: Shake Shack! Extra pickles!
09 Apr 2013
First CD/Tape/LP you owned:
I don't remember, but I bet it had folk music on it.
First stage kiss:
As a teenaged Daisy, in a production of Biloxi Blues. I was in love.
Moment you knew you wanted to perform for a living:
I still don't! I remember the moment I first knew I wanted to be a marine biologist, though... (That didn't pan out.)
How you got your Equity card:
As a teenager, in a production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. I auditioned barefoot, sitting on the edge of the stage, singing "One Tin Soldier," a 1960's era anti-war song, a cappella. Of course I did.
Favorite pre-/post- show meal:
Pre-show: a petite soup at Green Symphony
Favorite liquid refreshment:
Water, nice red wine. Also, the spirulina-acai smoothie at my family's health food store on Maui. And during the show, hot water and honey, cause Danny Burstein told me it soothes a dry throat, and he's right.
Pre-show rituals or warm-ups:
Coffee! Chatting too much with castmates, currently with Charlotte d'Amboise, about our hectic mommy-days and sleep deprivation. Then right before curtain I'll touch my toes or something while Patina laughs at me and asks if I'm warming up for my big trapeze act. (I don't have a trapeze act. No one would trust me on a trapeze.)
Most challenging role you have ever played:
Eva in Evita, in Spanish, a language I do not speak. It's amazing what our brains can do under pressure. (And a cheat sheet in the Casa Rosada for opening night. "No llores por mi, Argentina…")
Craziest audition story:
I'm a very shy person, and most of my audition stories are terrifying or sad. I think I may actually have had an out of body experience auditioning for Frank Wildhorn's Civil War. All I remember is my view of his shoes... from the perspective of one who is hovering up around the ceiling. That counts as crazy, right?
What has been the biggest challenge about this project?
The role I play is usually not in the first act but we decided, as one of the players in this circus troupe, she should be. Not as Catherine, but as a clown. Clowns make me uncomfortable, and I liked the idea of exploring that. So I spent a good part of the development period with Diane Paulus, Gypsy Snider and Nancy Harrington finding out who this clown would be, and what she has to say--wordlessly.
What has been the most fun or fulfilling aspect?
I interact directly with the audiences in a way I rarely have in a musical. It's indescribable, fascinating joy. And Matthew as Pippin is delish: so alive.
If you could trade roles with anyone in the cast for a week, who would it be?
Gregory Arsenal, one of our amazing French-speaking acrobatic "flyers" and a true clown. I'd love to feel what it's like to do what he does so gracefully. And I think his Catherine would be something to see.
Leading lady role you've been dying to play:
Sondheim writes such beautiful deep women. Dying to work on one of them.
Leading man role you'd like a shot at:
Meh. Women are enough of a challenge for me right now!
Something about you that surprises people:
I am not a vegetarian, and I have lurking rage. (These two facts are not related. I hope.)
Something you are incredibly proud of:
My radiant daughter
Something you're embarrassed to admit:
I fight sadness a lot.
Career you would want if not a performer:
Gentleman Farmer
Three things you can't live without:
Butter, denim, Benim and my daughter, Miranda. That's four.
"I'll never understand why…"
… most Broadway musicals seem to shy away from casting performers (especially women) who are more diverse physical "types" and unconventionally beautiful. I'd like to see this evolve.
Words of advice for aspiring performers:
Know the warty truth about yourself, and try hard to forgive it; it'll serve you in your understanding of the strange theatricality of this life. Find where humor sleeps in everything. Make the most terrifying choice, 'cause, wow, what could happen then?! Love your audience, and remind them we are all connected.

Vt. senators push for Saturday mailStaff Report | February 13,2013Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., were part of a group of U.S. senators to introduce a bill Wednesday to preserve Saturday mail delivery.
The measure may provide the Postal Service with new options to make money by permitting services such as notarizing documents, issuing hunting and fishing licenses, and allowing beer and wine shipments, Sanders said.
The legislation, which was simultaneously introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., would also prevent mail-sorting centers and rural post offices from shutting down.
A commission of successful small business and labor representatives would be created to recommend other directions the U.S. Postal Service could pursue to remain relevant in an age of electronic mail.
Sanders said the Senate bill also seeks to repeal a 2006 law that mandated the post office pre-fund 75 years of future health care benefits for retirees over 10 years.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

The moment-to-moment monitoring and management by which electrical engineers maintain the flows of current in power grids, whose interconnected components can span thousands of miles, are possible only because of precisely synchronized clocks and high-speed communication by which even the most distant parts of the grid can keep track of each other's status. And forget about talking and texting on cellphones or Googling on your computer without superlatively timed handoffs of billions of signals between cellphone towers and perfectly timed
"If we relied on the Earth's length of day, we could not have any of this," says O'Brian, whose group at NIST develops, maintains and improves the supremely regular atomic clocks on which all other timekeeping ultimately is based.
An atomic second is defined, in techspeak, as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of cesium 133 atoms." Translation: The cesium atoms behave like magnificently fast pendulums that never, ever waver the way the Earth's rotation does. It is because of those more than 9 billion oscillations per second that it is possible to synchronize clocks with better than millionths-of-a-second precision.
An Earth second, on the other hand, has been defined since early in the 19th century as 1/86,400th of a 24-hour day (60 seconds times 60 minutes times 24 hours = 86,400). The trouble for modern technologies, O'Brian says, is that the planet's length of day "is wandering unpredictably every day."
What's slowing the Earth down? The moon is the biggest and steadiest drag on the Earth's rotation. Think tides here. As the Earth turns, the moon's gravitation pulls on the Earth's oceans and some of the crust below. As the planet rotates, this tidal interaction with the moon acts like the rubber damper on a carnival wheel that slowly brings the rotating wheel to a halt. This accounts for the bulk of the roughly two-millisecond slowdown of Earth's rotation for each century's worth of this tidal drag.

Only On 6: Stage 5: What's Next?
Wednesday, May 14, 2014 12:17 AM EDT
Wednesday, May 14, 2014 12:20 AM EDT
Water is at a premium right now for almost all of Texoma. We have followed the drought closely for the last almost four years. Since the floods of 2007, which was the wettest year on record for the entire state of Texas, levels have dropped by more than two-thirds. Another event similar to those floods would bust the drought, but Wichita Falls officials are trying to figure out what is next if rains don't come.
It does not matter who you ask, the drought continues and there are now no easy options unless it rains. Stage 5 is just about as far as most restrictions can go.
"We feel like that as far as discretionary water is concerned, we've done about all we can and keep people in the city going," says Wichita Falls Water Resources Committee Chairman Arnold Oliver.
There are still a few water using businesses that could see further restrictions should lake levels keep dropping.
Oliver said, "When the combined lakes of Kickapoo and Arrowhead reach 20-percent, car washes are shut off."
Those car washes could stay open, if they can find a source of water other than the city.
One thing that could keep us away from a Stage 6 beside rain, is the Temporary Water Reuse Project. The consensus is, that project will make a big difference in where our water comes from.
"It's about all we can do at this point," said Wichita Falls Director of Public Works Russell Schrieber. "It's five million gallons a day. It would be a third of our supply or demand. On paper it's going to have a substantial impact on extending the supply of the lakes."
Wichita Falls Utilities Operations Manager Daniel Nix agrees, and said, "The reuse project is a big relief. Obviously it's going to supplant what we're taking out of the lakes. Hopefully make those lakes last a lot longer."
Nix also said the reuse project will allow the city other options when it comes to processing all the water possible, if the levels don't rise. That would include using Lake Kemp.
Wichita Falls has rights to the last 50,000 acre feet. That's about 18-billion gallons of water. The problem is at that level, the salt filled water is not easy to treat, and would require the city to make some changes.
"That's the reason we cut it off for the last 6 to 8 months because we can't treat it, says Russell Schrieber. "It's too salty even with the MFRO plant. We can't treat it down enough and blend it back with the Arrowhead and Kickapoo water where we can't get hardly any yield out of it, but if worst comes to worst, we may have to do something."
Using Lake Kemp water could also jeopardize the largest power plant in Texoma.
"You've got a 250-megawatt power plant, that in the next year could be out of water and out of business," said Daniel Nix.
That AEP coal plant uses a lot of water to turn it's turbines and produce that power. That water comes from Lake Kemp. The plant's owners are one of the groups that has given money to the cloud seeding efforts in Wichita Falls in hopes that more rain will fall on Lake Kemp.
Another big water using industry that was left out of Stage 5 restrictions is the restaurant business. They saw big restrictions when the city went into stage 3.
"There's not much more we can do other than just be diligent," says Bryan Press with Luby's Cafeteria.
Luby's in Wichita Falls are one of the many restaurants that has looked into saving water by using paper goods. It was a suggestion that the North Texas Restaurant Association made. Press told us that just buying paper plates would run around $4,000 a month. Factoring in water bill savings and other factors the cost comes down to $3,000. All to save less water that 2 average homes use in a month.
"That's expensive water to spend $3,000 for a household and a half worth of water," said Press. "If it's gotta be done, we'll do our part."
Another Wichita Falls based company is working to save a large amount of water that could make a difference in a possible Stage 6.
"We've got a big project going with PPG right now to conserve 200,000 gallons a day," said Daniel Nix.
That project is partially funded by the city and will bring gray water to PPG. It was the company's idea. Daniel Nix sees them as an example we can all follow.
"When you have a major industry like that, that's a national industry and international industry, and they say 'you know what? We care. We want to stay here. We're going to do what it takes.' That's the message that needs to be sent. We're all in this together, and it's going to take all of us doing it," said Nix.
A lot of people have been asking about finding another source of water. The City has long talked about Lake Ringgold. It's years away even if they started on it today. So, what about something like Lake Texoma? Wichita Falls Director of Public Works Russell Schrieber has looked into that. He told us a project like that would take 15-years and cost around $1-billion dollars. Schrieber says that just not a realistic option.

Wandsworth Council to consult on one o'clock club closures
Updated 1:19pm Thursday 21st February 2013 in News By Alexandra Rucki, Senior Reporter
Wandsworth Council have voted to close one o'clock clubs across the borough to make way for nursery places.
New policy makes it obligatory for local authorities to provide disadvantaged two-year-olds with 15 hours of free childcare.
Councillors at the Education and Children's Services committee meeting last week voted to consult on proposals to change centre's into nurseries.
Bolingbroke, Windmill, Coronation Gardens, Fontley Way and King George's Park clubs would no longer have to provide stay-and-play services.
Battersea Park one o'clock centre could be converted to a cafe attached to the adventure playground with additional services, such as drama classes and children's entertainment.
The Triangle one o'clock centre could merge with Balham Nursery School.
Nursery providers who take over the centres may still run one o'clock clubs, but will not be obliged to run such a service.
The decision went ahead despite a petition containing more than 1,000 signatures being handed to the council.
Alex Sykes, community manager of Made For Mums Wandsworth, said: "I think everyone is just really sad about it. They are such an institution.
"It is something they rely on, there's a lot general sadness. It is up to the nursery providers who take over the one o'clock clubs to provide the service."
During the meeting it was agreed to extend the consultation until August, with the nurseries not opening until September.
The council will have to provide 894 places for disadvantaged toddlers by September this year, as well as a further 894 by September 2014.
A final decision will be made at the next full council meeting on March 6.

GARRETT GOMEZ, SILVER MEDALLION, WINNER: "He's a little goofy. He's a difficult horse and Scotty's (Blasi) been working with him. Mentally, he's just not there yet, but it's nice to know that a horse is this talented and he's not totally focused yet. Hopefully they can get him moving forward, get him serious, and get him to where he really wants to do his job. Right now, he doesn't even know what his job is. Once he figures it out, hopefully he'll turn into a really nice horse."
SCOTT BLASI, ASSISTANT TO STEVE ASMUSSEN, SILVER MEDALLION , WINNER: "We've got a lot of good horses beaten here, so any win right now feels good. This is a nice colt Mike Ryan (owner) sent us for a winter run on the grass. He's trained well, and he ran like we thought he would. I thought he'd be pretty sharp. I was a little worried. We missed a lot of training here with the rain and such. I was worried he'd be a little fresh. His only bad race was the race with Garrett (Gomez, Sept. 10) when he got pinched early. I told Garrett if he got away clean, I thought he'd be in hand pretty well."
NOTES: This is the first Santa Anita win for Asmussen. The winning owner Michael Ryan is from Lexington, Ky.

The Rule 5 draft is an opportunity for teams with the roster space to pluck talent from other clubs who do not have the space. There are all kinds of players who go unprotected each November -- former prospects, fringe talents, potential big-league pieces -- but the saddest group has to be former first-round selections. These players were initially picked because they were believed to have the brightest futures of all, but instead they're suddenly available to anyone who cares to put in a claim. A look at some of the former top picks:
Matt LaPorta: He's the most well-known of the group, as he was, until recently, a major-league player. The Indians designated him for assignment, though, and he cleared waivers, taking him off of the 40-man roster and placing him back in the minors. LaPorta was selected seventh overall in the 2007 draft, and has amassed 1,068 plate appearances in the majors. He's heading into his age-28 season, owns a career line of .238/.301/.393 in the majors, and only has his minor-league numbers as a point in his favor.
As he's no longer on the 40-man, LaPorta could be selected in the Rule 5 draft by anyone willing to bother with him. He would have to be kept on the major-league roster all season in order to make it work, but for a team desperate enough to find something useful at first base, that wouldn't be an issue: if he doesn't hit, there's no need to keep him around, anyway. He's in a different class than the other first-round selections now available in that regard, as he has major-league experience, and his 2013 wouldn't be seen as a one-year delay in player development, like it would for most other Rule 5 selections.
Eric Arnett: Arnett is another first-round pick of the Brewers, selected 26th in the 2009 draft. Unlike LaPorta, Arnett has never made it to the bigs. Things were problematic from the start, with Arnett walking 5.5 batters per nine in his debut season, a problem that's stuck with him for most of his career and helped negate his high strikeout rate.
Arnett wasn't some mistake pick by the Brewers in the sense they were the only ones who thought much of him. Baseball America rated him their fourth-best prospect heading into 2010, and though they lost a lot of faith before 2011, he was still 18th in the system. He had struggled with his command in college, but before he was taken by Milwaukee, he had seemingly put it all together. There was concern about the inconsistency of his arm slot, but still, he was supposed to be in the majors by now.
Instead, he's 24 years old, and just completed a season in High-A. Someone with an open spot on the 40-man, who can afford to roll the dice on a pitcher like Arnett in their bullpen for a year, could benefit from taking him in the Rule 5. Like many others, though, he's a long shot to produce much of anything. For every Johan Santana or Shane Victorino taken in the Rule 5, there are dozens and dozens (and probably more!) of guys like Arnett, who most likely won't become anything.
Josh Fields: He's older than Arnett, but there's far more chance he'll be able to help a team right now. Fields was picked 20th in the 2008 draft by the Mariners, but the reliever saw his stock fall as he failed to control his stuff. He was packaged along with Erik Bedard in a 2011 trade to the Red Sox, and from that point forward, his career finally came together. Fields struck out 25 batters in 17 innings with Double-A Portland, and walked 10. He cut that rate even further in his repeat stint at the level, striking out 3.7 times as many hitters as he walked, easily a career-high.
He followed that up with 19 strikeouts against two walks in 10 appearances at Triple-A, but that wasn't enough for Boston to protect him on their crowded 40. Fields is very likely to be taken by a team and placed in its bullpen. He's just as good of a bet to produce, given his issues with command and control seem to have worked out. It would be relatively easy to stash a bullpen piece for a season, and since Fields has never been on a 40-man roster, he'll have all of his options remaining should he stick around for the future.
Kevin Ahrens: He's a three-time top prospect of the Blue Jays according to Baseball America, who rated him third, sixth, and 12th from 2007 through 2009. That 2009 season is a long time ago in baseball terms, though, and it seems even longer when you realize he finished that season in High-A -- the level he's still at now. There was a lot to like before those dreams were crushed by the level:
With hand speed, a feel for his swing from both sides of the plate and a firm grasp of the strike zone, Ahrens projects to hit for average and power. A natural righthander, he has more power and better pitch recognition from that side. Drafted as a shortstop, he moved to third base in mid-July, as scouts had predicted. He showed solid hands, good lateral movement and a plus arm.
He's hit .240/.319/.355 in nearly 2,500 minor-league plate appearances. Leaving aside that he's stalled, that line would only work if he had an exceptional glove at short. He's more of a longshot than most at this stage of his career; expect him to remain in Toronto.
That's the Rule 5 in a nutshell, though. Most available players are available for a reason, and even those with some promise are unlikely to produce even when given an opportunity.

Minnesota Resorts - Recently-released 2009 Sales Tax Data
Release Date: Jul 23, 2012
Newly-released data from the Minnesota Department of Revenue reports the following activity for 914 Minnesota resorts in 2009: $230.8 million in gross sales, $195.7 million in taxable sales and $13.6 million in state sales tax revenue. While these sales and tax revenue amounts were down from 2008 levels, they were slightly better (i.e., less negative) than annual changes for all accommodations (i.e., hotels, motels, resorts, campgrounds, etc.). Declines in resort performance for 2009 ranged from 5.5% for state sales tax to 8.8% for taxable sales, compared with declines of 9.6% and 12.3% respectively for these measures for all accommodations.
The following two graphs show gross sales and state sales tax revenue for Minnesota resorts from 2004 through 2009, including regional and statewide totals. Data included in the graphs can be found in a series of annual reports on EMT's industry website. The graphs depict growth through 2007, followed by declines in both 2008 and 2009 associated with the recession. The graphs show Minnesota's four tourism regions through 2006, and five regions starting with 2007. When regional reconfiguration essentially split the North Central/West Region into the Northwest and Central Regions, resort sales activity in the three resulting northern regions (i.e., Northwest, Central and Northeast Regions) were at very similar levels, as evidenced by the overlapping lines on the graphs. Total sales activity at the relatively few Metro and Southern Region resorts are considerably lower than for northern regions, and are depicted as overlapping lines at the bottoms of the graphs. For clarity, the graph legends display the state and regions in the approximate order they appear in the graphs, from top to bottom. As with all sales tax data, reporting here is subject to problems with irregularities, industry classification issues, etc. that can result in annual data swings that are difficult to interpret, particularly for areas with fewer resorts.

Rear LED Lights
Topeak Headlux Helmet Light$20.98RRP: $23.32Save 10%
The use of LED's (light emitting diodes) instead of bulbs in manufacture has revolutionised the cycle lighting market. Units are now much smaller, more powerful, more efficient and more robust.
Don't underestimate the size of an LED rear light as the output is staggering. With a selection of light modes from static to flashing and every combination in between, rear LED lights are an incredible piece of kit for their small size. Powered by either normal batteries or by USB recharging ports, battery life is incredible especially on flash modes. No wires or battery packs keeps them compact and lightweight and very easy to mount on bikes or on your person, or both. With a price range to suit all budgets, they are a very inexpensive way of ensuring you are seen and some are so cheap we'd recommend buying several and doubling up.

Ice climbing ?!
I began ice climbing and mixed climbing this past December because I wanted to prove something. No matter how lame that sounds, I wanted to try something new and prove that I could be more than a sport/competition climber.
"You're gonna hate it."
"Ice climbing? Seriously? Isn't that too cold for you?"
"Whoa Emily."
Those were some of the many responses I received after I shared that that's what I was going to do this winter. Most of them were accompanied by a strong tone of sarcasm and raised eyebrows. Thus, I set out to prove everyone wrong (even myself). I was going to be an ice climber. I was going to like it. I was going to embrace the cold and deal with it, and that is exactly what I did.
In the past few months, I've visited East Vail, Rocky Mountain National Park, Ouray, Redstone, and Rifle – all to hack at some ice and scrape some tools along the rock. It's been a learning experience to say the least, but one that I have enjoyed immensely – for the most part. Ice climbing is scary, cold, and high maintenance; BUT, it is also exhilarating and rewarding. I have developed a strong liking for mixed climbing as well. The insecure, gymnastic movements contrast directly with my style of rock climbing (controlled and static) and I enjoy trying something that does not come quite as naturally as climbing did for me when I first started.
I attended the Ouray and Redstone Ice Festivals this past winter, both were awesome events with great people and climbing. I was introduced to an entirely new and refreshing climbing community full of passion and quirkiness. I met Ines Papert, who nearly beat all the boys (again) at the Ouray Ice Competition. I was in awe while watching each of the competitors attempt the 120 foot route and was most impressed by its complex nature. Competitors had to possess the perfect combination of finesse, power, decisiveness, and efficiency in order to succeed. My competitive drive has been absent the past few years, but I was inspired and motivated by this event and have made it my new goal to compete in 2011.
I have fallen in love with climbing and have chosen to make it my career because I am always captivated and never bored. It is always changing the pace and challenges in my life. The new places, people, and styles to experience are limitless. Ice climbing is just one other aspect to explore. After climbing for 13 years, I have found myself a complete beginner once again, and it feels fantastic. This endless variety is a never-ending source of passion for those who choose to explore all that this sport has to offer. My journey of exploration has just begun, and I am grateful to be a part of something so unique that never ceases to fascinate and inspire me.

3.68/5 rDev +17.9%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
A - I very clear orange amber with a nice head of foam that disappears disappointingly quickly, leaving nothing.
S - Little bit of citric hops, slight malt, and honey on the nose, but that's about it.
T - Has a perky, lemon-accented wheat malt taste with just a hint of hops and cinnamon-like spice. Finishes clean and slightly dry.
M - watery and fizzy. Little in the way of body, but not necessarily a bad thing.
D - Low ABV + good taste and mouthfeel = excellent session beer.
overall - a Good idea for a summer thirst quencher. I could easily enjoy a few cold ones on a hot day. I'd call it a lawnmower beer, but we hire landscapers. So it's an outdoor summer drinking beer. Yeah, that should do.

Pours golden with single finger head leaving no lacing.
Great hop aroma along with some citrus.
Hoppy bitterness followed but lemon citrus and then back to a little bitterness.
Light body with some lingering bitterness.
A good beer for the summer without sacrificing alot of taste.

3.33/5 rDev +6.7%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
A: Pale, medium straw colored, and crystal clear. Foamy white head of about 3/4" inch. Low head retention going to a thin film of bubbles rather quickly.
S: Light malt mixed with something of a fruity herbal note, perhaps coriander. Some very faint citrus hops come through as well.
T&M: Light bodied but flavorful, with an interesting combination of light or pale malts and what I think is probably coriander. The result reminds me of something like a Grand Cru but some how more of a lighter way about it. The carbonation is fine but abundant, giving a bit of a lively mouthfeel. This finishes mostly dry & clean with a touch of malt and a linger of those spices.
D: The spices are nice at first but it doesn't take long to get enough. Nice but not something I would drink often.

Part of a summer sampler 12 pack. Some hits, some misses. This was an OK beer, but nothing really special. It was a clear orange color with a medium head that retained pretty well. Not much aroma, a little grain detected. Not much taste, some citrus and a little bit of spice. It is drinkable in the sense of downing a few on a really hot summer day.

It has a clear filtered body that is golden color. Its head is white, bubbly and fades fast. The aroma is light and has a lemony essence. Its flavor is simple, sweet and lemony with light wheat malt. The body is medium with a slightly slick feel and an average carbonation. Overall it is a very refreshing ale with a clean flavor.

hmm i don't really know what a summer ale would be style wise but one thing is for sure it has to be thirst quenching for me otherwise it seems out of place
i poured my sample in a plastic cup (all i had at the time) but i could analyze the color as it was clear plastic, a nice hazy orange color
the aroma was not there i did get a faint smell of some sweet malk but not much else going on
overall the taste was rather bland it did not stand out for me it just seemed like a regular beer nothing special about it or nothing that made me want to suck one down at a bbq or baseball game or while mowing the lawn
overall a decent beer but i just didn't get excited about it

12 oz bottle with no freshness date.
A- Thin off white lacing, pale copper hue. Clear but the head lacks a bit.
S- Iced herbal tea? Sweet maltiness in the back.
T- Soapy with a lackluster malt character, hops are minimal with some washed spice flavors from coriander and such.
M- Slick with a modest carbonation within a medium body.
D- I could barely down on bottle and I am certainly not going for a second. This is like a Belgian Wit gone wrong.

Well, its Saranac, so expectations are low. Pours a decent enough yellow with a degree of haze. Smells like lemon. More than anything.
Tastes like lemon more than anything. I guess relatively speaking, its a decent Saranac brew, it tastes like something that isn't offensive for once, and its actually assertive. Don't necessarily know that I want the flavor they decide to get assertive with be lemon, but its a start. There really isn't much else to talk about, lemon dominates. Too expensive to be drinkable, too sour and sweet one dimensional lemony as well.

2.53/5 rDev -18.9%
Appears a clear golden honey hue with a large amount of white head that dwindles quickly, lacing is scant and thin. Aroma tart lemon peel with spiciness and thick grainy edges. Flavor is a bit rough on the back of the throat with that cereal graininess and lemon zest flow, thick spices left on the palate in the finish. Mouthfeel is light bodied carbonation is heavy to point of it gives you trouble when going to swallow. Drinkability is not so great I'd much rather have a nice golden ale rather than lemon flavor and strong spices added. Those two aspects take away from the drinkability factor.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle from the "12 beers of summer" 12 pack.
A-Clear amber with a puffy eggshell head. One of the better looking beers from the pack.
S-Sweet, earthy citrus and grassy.
T-Clean, crisp and refreshing, but not much going on here. Watered down malts, but not bad either.
M-Very light, as one would expect for the style. Decent, but not outstanding.
D-Very drinkable on a warm day. You are not here for taste, as much as for a quencher.

Thin, clear golden orange-yellow body with a sudsy white head settling atop a Hoegaarden tumbler--why so much plaer than the Belgian white? the head leaves a slight tracing as the bottle drains... straw and lemon zest to the nose... a bit of pilsner malt plays a part as well... a freshness does exist here... softer yet more astringent than the Belgian in the sampler... malts provide a semblance of a body, but this is still light (purposefully, I imagine) and buttery/creamy on the finish... the malts rush the flavors straight back to the throat--a soft ale exists somewhere in this wheatness... this provides a nice feeling for summer, even if August in NJ has been unseasonably Autmumnal... shorter on hops to increase its drinkability, no doubt, this ale seems to attempt the "sparkling" aspect of a Cooper's perhaps... not bad, but flavor is elusive...

Saranac- Summer
A- Light caramel brown, clear, no carbonation, small light sticky head.
S- Not much here. Slight sugary corn syrup, wheat, and clove.
T- Very light malt, sweet caramel/ corn syrup with a slight fruitiness. Spicy clove and wheat with a thick malt finish.
M- Light sweet malt with a dry body and thicker malt in the backend.
Overall- Light and mellow but a decent drinker.

Pours a 'pretty" coppery orange and is mostly clear save for the rapidly rising carbonation bubbles. Thin white tight bubbled head sits atop. Smell is loaded with a far from subtle lemon topped by an even light spice. I like lemons, and I'll even eat them when they put them on my water glass in restaurants, but this beer relies on lemon a bit too much. It is still enjoyable on a hot day, but I didn't buy mike's hard lemonade for a reason.
Anyways, lemon-ness aside this is an OK beer. Good when you're in a drinking a lot mood. Wheat graininess is evident and carbonation is good. Its sharp and blends well with the lemons' assertiveness.
Worth a try when you're looking for refreshment.

3.55/5 rDev +13.8%
This is the first tasting of the Saranac summer series 12-pack:
AP: golden caramel in color with only mild carbonation that is able to create smooth and even but thin all-white head. dissiaptes slowly to a minimal "ring around the edge" and some minor, scattered lacing.
nose: nutmeg, old spices, zesty dried fruit, vanilla and herbal hops.
Flavor & Feel: light bodied but smooth and crsip with a clean wheat and grains malted flavor with distinct lemmon and nutmeg currents. There is a refreshing sour-yeast and very herbal, hearty hop finish.
DA: These are great for summer time, easily drinkable and rather refreshing but a bit less emphasis on spices would be nice.

As per the possible suggestion, this 12 oz. bottle has been poured into my Aventinus glass.
Appearance: Hazy yellow with some brown tints, decent lacing, and a decent head. Nothing special, but at the moment it works for me.
Smell: Lemon grass, some lemon sugars, OJ or citrus fruit soda, herbal cough drops. Odd, which intrigues me, but it does indeed smell like a wacky Belgian Wit with something wrong with it in the mix.
Taste: Herbal cough drops up front, and yes, not something that's gratifying. Some off balanced citrus zest, watery malts that almost aren't there, and the faintest of hops, maybe.
Mouthfeel: Slick and watery, carbonation almost not present or is very light, which is odd.
Drinkability: I give it a 3 because I could see myself grabbing one of these instead of some light macro out of a cooler with friends grilling burgers and dogs in the July heat. Otherwise, as far as sitting down and reviewing this sucker or partaking in the aforementioned activities (though I don't think any of my friends would randomly have Saranac in a cooler, though that's beside the point), the tasting's not gonna happen again...

12oz bottles poured into a pint glass.
Pours a golden straw color with a quarter inch of head that fades to a thin lacing. Smells grainy and mildly like straw, the hops are noticeable, but take a backseat here. Taste is very mild; wheat and hops, but the flavors are so mellow that neither offer much. The bottle says lemon, orange and spice, but I get a tiny hint of lemon in the finish and that's it. This beer is very carbonated and actually turns to foam in your mouth; incredibly light bodied.
This beer is mediocre at best.

Lemon juice and copper mix in the coloration below a half finger of quickly dissipating white head...
Has a urine citron and cherries smell too it not much else
Light fruity malts and lemon water... reminds me of the belgian white and wheat from the same sampler... also has a distinctive sam adams wheat flavor to it too
Soda pop mouthfeel on a light body
Overall there isn't much here. I have a feeling this is just another one of those breweries that are scared to put out a bold product. Like Boulder Beer and BJ's Pizza. Too bad

Medium oily-looking amber-gold, smallish lasting head...grainy, lightly sour nose with hints of fruit...refreshing tart, crisp flavor profile, hints of toasty malt underneath and a touch of smokiness late...light-moderate body, tiny swirls of tart apple in nose and flavor as it warms.

The final beer out of my Saranac Summer mix pack. 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a dark golden orange color with a nice off-white head. The aroma is sweet floral malt and a touch of citrus. The taste has some notable wheat flavors with a hint of citrus and hops in the finish. Overall, Saranac Summer Ale accomplishes what it sets out to be, a refreshing and easy drinking beer to enjoy during the warm summer months. Not overly flavorful, but refreshing.

OXFORD - George Muttick was almost home Wednesday night when something massive struck the rear passenger side of his Chevy 2500 pickup truck, nearly tipping the automobile.
Muttick jumped out of the driver's seat, looked around and saw a sight he never expected: a 250-pound black bear dead on the side of the Hunters Mountain Road.
"I've hit deer before, and I knew right away this was no deer when it struck," he said. "This thing tipped my truck pretty good."
Muttick, a 24-year-old aircraft electrician at Sikorsky and a volunteer Oxford firefighter, saw fur sticking out of the rear wheel well and blood on the side of the truck bed, but no other damage. He immediately called 911.
State police arrived at 7:27 p.m. and called officials from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to check on the bear. Muttick said officials estimated the bear weighed up to 250 pounds. It was not tagged, meaning it had not come in contact with any state or federal regulatory agencies in the past.
Muttick, who was not injured, lives just a few houses away from where the incident occurred. He said he's heard of bobcats and people discussing mountain lions in the area, but hasn't heard about bears before. He's never seen one and certainly never hit one.
Asked if he was shocked by the incident, Muttick said, "Well I certainly never expected that a bear would try to jump in the bed of my truck."
The bear has been sent away to be gutted; the outside remains will be sent to a tannery. The DEEP has given the bear to Muttick, like they would if he hit a deer or another animal.
"It'll make a nice rug," he said.
It will certainly make for one heck of a story.

Love It or Hate It? Rihanna Lengthens Her Hair
by POPSUGAR Beauty 97 Reactions 0 Shares Print
The first Allure of 2008 features Rihanna as its cover girl. In the interview, she explains that she chopped her hair into a bob without her label's permission:
"The label didn't want me to do this look. But cutting my hair, it made me stand out as an artist. I don't care who likes it — this is me."
Or, to be more precise, it was her. The singer stepped out in London yesterday with soft, wavy, and longer locks. What do you think of this new hairstyle?

hate it, i don't like her, she's ugly but i have to say, if i'm honest i like the hair
angelcandy 6 years
The short bob looked great on her.
loveisinbloom 6 years
I liked the bob better.
cathrinetj 6 years
I like this softer look. Truth is she has such a striking face she'll get noticed no matter what her hair is like. Its a lovely change though.
Carly_Fortes 6 years
Hate it !!!
SugarJaniece 6 years
She's so cute she can wear her hair any style and get away with it!
tonjay2002 6 years
I like her hair short. The lengthen look makes her face look longer.
DeveliQue 6 years
She looks great however she puts her hair. I did really like her fierce bob though!
pink_magnetism 6 years
I like it but her bob was more distinctive.
maahe 6 years
It looks nice, but that bob made her!
JaimeLeah526 6 years
I like her hair so much better here. It's so much better curly rather than straight for her face shape.
Bee333 6 years
The bob is an older look for her...but, like it says, she cut without permission...The record label owns her image. Stars have all kinds of body parts insured, and for all we know her hair is part of her package. I personally don't care what she does with her hair, but then, I'm not profiting from her image either.
lilstacylou 6 years
She doesn't stand out when her hair is long.
Bee333 6 years
Looks good and fits the image they want for her. Long hair must sell better. Swinging a bob isn't quite the same effect as long bouncy hair. I want my long hair back : (
snowbunny11 6 years
I like the bob, but this is good for a change!
gatsby-esque 6 years
Yuck. Either way - long or short.
bailaoragaditana 6 years
She looks really pretty this way! The bob was waayyyy too Victoria Beckham for my liking...
who_arexyou 6 years
It was a change because I'm so used to seeing the bob, but I like it. She always looks good.
AucuneRancune 6 years
I like it this length. However, I don't have very much respect for her if she says she's going to defy her label for a certain look because it embodies who she is, but then changes it back, immediately contradicting herself. Then again, maybe she just needed a change.
Lizmatic 6 years
I don't like Rhianna, but I do like her new hair. The bob just made her forehead look bigger. A lot bigger. I definitely agree with those of you that say bangs. Girlfriend needs them.
gholson54 6 years
She is absolutely stunning and can obviously pull off either look.
pinkdragonfly 6 years
I don't like the way she looks with long hair...
amber_castaldo 6 years
This picture makes it look not good so I am undecided.
silver-wings 6 years
her face is too beautiful, she can pull anything off. Besides she's already has this wavy hair in the past, it looks good
febe 6 years
eh...whatever, it ain't my hair!
onesong 6 years
i don't think that this girl could look bad if she tried, she's that naturally pretty. that said, i like her hair both ways.
Nickey 6 years
I like it either way.
MandyJoBo 6 years
I think it looks good on her - love it! But I HATE hair extensions. To me, it's the hair equivalent of thick, clown makeup.
gothamgal 6 years
She looks more conventionally pretty w/the long hair but it really works well. And, of course, the angled bob did her justice, too. Does anyone look bad in a bob (except moi)?
JMichele24 6 years
Both are hot. The main difference which has changed her look so much is the color change. She used to rock the brown/blond Beyonce color. The black is perfect & edgy. This is n't the first time I've seen her with a different length of hair since goign black & short. She does it often.
veronicaraye 6 years
Don't really like it so curly.

thelittleblackblog 6 years
I really don't like this. It looks greasy :S
rgrl 6 years
Much better. She annoyed me with that bob... I don't know why it just seemed like she was putting on a fake persona.
ilanac13 6 years
she's been fortunate to have good hair styles - either way she looks nice. you have to admit - she's got balls to cut her hair against her label's wishes - but she is young - so she's allowed to be like that
bealotus 6 years
She looks good with everything,short,long,brown,black.
snarkypants 6 years
i think she looks good. but she also looks pretty average now. the bob gave her some edge.
juliagoolia 6 years
She's a beautiful girl, but needs bangs for that forehead :P

i dont mind it! i think it looks kinda cute.. a nice change.. good old hair extensions! :)
Princess-Rebecca 6 years
I preferred her bob
janetta13 6 years
Not into it. It ages her a bit.
halo0073 6 years
looks good in any style
bransugar79 6 years
I loved her bob and I think it did set her apart Now it just looks like she's trying to go the same direction as every other "bombshell" out there. I don't think longer hair necessarily makes a woman more beautful and I think with her features the angles in the bob totally made her fierce
DoeADeer 6 years
Her songs are catchy, but I don't think she's a really great artist, or all that attractive. I don't really get the hype.
ER1008 6 years
i really liked the bob on her.
jgulli3 6 years
i love this look so much better than the bob!!!

i said Hate it only because I don't like her especially after laughing at Britney..

Rihanna would look great bald... I don't think it matters what she does to her hair, she's got a naturally beautiful face that could pull just about anything off
catita85 6 years
she looks great whatever her hair style is.

boooooooring. i loved her bob. now she's back to looking like everyone else. (though i'm one to talk b/c i'm totally trying to grow my hair out.)

In 2008, the Turkey River crested and swept into downtown Elkader. The river flooded many homes and businesses, posing a problem for those in the community. But its that river that is now bringing hope to community. The city plans to install nearly 200 feet long Whitewater Playpark on that river in downtown Elkader.
Roger Thomas is on the Economic Development Council in Elkader. He says the Whitewater Playpark is not a course, but a spot for people to go and play.
"What they do is they don't go down through a course, they go into one feature and they play in there. They kind of park and then when someone is out the other goes in and plays a little bit." Thomas said.
The idea for the playpark came from several very active kayakers in the Elkader community after the 2008 floods. The playpark will be created by placing massive boulders in the river. It will allow kayakers, canoeists, people in inner tubes and even on stand up paddle boards to all come out and play. The city hopes the Whitewater Playpark attracts many families to live in the Elkader area.
"We are hoping that this will generate some excitement to young families that would come here and live, build a home, start a business." Thomas said.
Thomas is also hopeful the playpark will attract tourists as well.
"I'm optimistically hopefully 100,000 people will come and visit Elkader. We are kind of a shopping destination now with our antique stores and specialty stores. But the river is going to add to that." Thomas said.
The Whitewater Playpark currently costs $441,000. It will be funded through several sources including an I-Jobs Grant. The boulders are set to be placed in the river this fall.

Harry Potter: Not Just for KidsEvents
CBC News has a profile which focuses on Convention Alley, the for adults only Harry Potter symposium which took place over the weekend in Ontario, Canada.
Overall, the conference's wide range of paper, panel and discussion topics from "Severus Snape: Romantic Byronic Hero or Unredeemable 'Greasy Git'?" to "Harry's International Readers: Global Understanding or Culture Shock?" reflects the broad background of the participants, who are primarily drawn from the internet chat group.
The article includes interviews with academics on the popularity of children's shows or books with adults, as well as an interview with Sheryll Townsend, one of Convention Alley's organizers.
When you read the first couple [Harry Potter books], you can understand why publishers classified them as children's literature," Townsend said. She adds, however, that since the 1997 debut of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the characters have matured with each new edition to the series, which has also become much darker, as Rowling promised from the beginning. "Order of the Phoenix c'mon, that's not a book for kids."

Starting Over
Each time Sharon repeated this phrase during the retreat, I was deeply inspired. I realized that she was pointing to a radical attitudinal shift in which you cease to be reactive when you are knocked off your intended path. Instead, when you discover that you have lost your focus, you just begin again without getting caught up in emotional stories about why you can't achieve your goal, or judgments about how unworthy you are or why the change you seek is impossible. With Sharon as my inspiration, I set about developing "just start over" into a daily life practice.
As you know if you've ever tried to meditate, the mind is constantly being pulled away from its object of concentration by bodily sensations and mental activity, causing you to lose awareness of the present moment. In this same way, when strong feelings arise during your daily life, you get swept up in the story they create. You lose the awareness that gives you peace of mind in the face of difficulty and that enables you to respond skillfully to events.
For instance, let's say you are anxious at work or prone to argue with your significant other, and your goal is to stop being this way. Usually after you make a resolution to change, something throws you off track, and the undesired behavior returns in full force. Once again you are completely lost in your anxiety at work or you are fighting with your beloved. All the old stories flood your mind, along with self-judgment, discouragement, and frustration. You try again and again, but you never gain traction and you come to believe you cannot change.
Often the problem is that you don't yet know how to be resolute without being rigid in your expectations. You haven't learned how to sail the waves of the ocean of your mind or successfully navigate those emotionally charged or intractable parts of yourself that cause the inner storms in your daily life. You have the notion that you must know why you have a problem and that you must get rid of it before you can act in a more self-empowering manner. Starting-over practice takes a different approach. It switches your focus away from dwelling on those characteristics that limit you and redirects it toward recognizing the strengths from which you can realize your potential.
This shift in focus is attitudinal: You simply do what you care about as well as you can. This is a humble attitude, but it is exactly what's needed for you to sustain your resolution. In so doing, you free yourself from your judging mind that thinks it can control results and creates the grandiose expectation that you can do more than you can do in the present moment. You become a more effective person by simply learning to use your time and energy to do what you can do right now.
The Buddha emphasized the need to focus on the present moment and respond appropriately according to one's values, and he rejected speculation for its own sake. In responding to a monk who demanded to know whether the world was eternal and whether an enlightened person reincarnates, the Buddha used the analogy of a man who has been shot with an arrow. If, before extracting the arrow and tending to his wound, the man insists on knowing the name, family, village, and race of the archer, and what the arrow is made of, how effective is he in dealing with his injury? What needs immediate attention is the situation created by the arrow. Starting-over practice is like this�you attend as best you can to the immediate situation that is challenging you.

Recapping the Olympic scores from yesterday. Two Red Wings, Filppula and Zetterberg, scored goals while Rafalski added an assist.
Game thread for Finland/Czech Republic and Slovakia/Sweden.
Bloggers covering the Detroit Red Wings kick off this year's blogger roundtable, starting with discussion on the Winter Olympics.
It will be up to Babcock to ensure that those playing smaller roles are with the program, or things will unravel in a hurry. "Obviously, to be able to walk into that locker room, a big part of being successful as a coach is a presence, and Mike's got a presence, and when Mike walks into a locker room, he's not in awe. He's going to take charge," Holland said. "It's easy to say, oh, you've got all these players. Well, there's probably a pretty good chance we're going to face some adversity, whether it's in-game adversity, whether a game is over, and your ability to adjust on the fly to the adversity is going to determine if you're going to have success or not. "He's dealt with the media, he's dealt with in-game adjustments, he's had all that experience," Holland added. "You get into a game and you're down 2-1 in the second period and nothing's going, you've got to make some adjustments on the fly. You've got to try some different things. You've got to have the confidence to know when, how long to sit tight and when it is time to move."-- Scott Burnside of ESPN.com
NHL.com talks to Steve Yzerman about Team Canada's orientation camp, which kicks off on Monday in Calgary.
Through it all, Heatley dodged all media requests for interviews to tell his side of the story. He also chose not to attend linemate Jason Spezza's wedding in Ottawa and backed out of a speaking engagement in Toronto. His silence is set to break. Finally. On the urging of Hockey Canada, the 28-year-old is expected to hold a news conference and teleconference Friday in Kelowna. "I believe Dany will address the media on the issue prior to the camp," Yzerman said. "In fairness to the Senators' fans and the media, it needs to be addressed. It has to be addressed."-- Vicki Hall of the Calgary Herald

Georgetown took an 11-point halftime lead over Providence and clamped down on defense en route to a 63-53 win over the Friars on Saturday.
The Hoyas held Providence to a pitiful 25.9 percent from the field on the night, and the Friars got just 32 points from 14 field goals, making just four shots in a 20-point first half. Three Georgetown starters scored in double figures, and Hollis Thompson and Jason Clark both had 13 points to lead the Hoyas. Henry Sims added 10 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and two blocks.
Providence's Vincent Council had 13 points, and Bryce Cotton added nine, but each player had more shots than points: Council went 4-for-14 from the field, and Cotton made three of his 13 threes and none of his four two-pointers. The only Providence player to make more than half of his shots was Ron Giplaye, who made three of four — on two dunks and a tip-in.

It was gratifying to see that the council held their ground and asked that the mayor give them all the information for them to study in detail before making the final decision. A couple of questions that seem to stick in my mind is will there be adequate parking for those attending and will enough folks patronize the Barons each season for the outlay to be feasible. I guess another question would be how much traffic congestion will be created with folks driving to the games as well as the congestion created when they leave the stadium. Of course the ideal situation would be for patrons to ride the bus both to and from the game but we all know the situation that the BJTA is in. They are struggling to just keep their regular routes going and employees gainfully employed. In fact the most recent news I have read is they are going to cut several routes and lay off nearly 50 people because of a shortfall in their funding.
It would seem that a baseball stadium downtown should certainly attract more folks to that area and that has to be good for business, which would be another plus in favor of its construction. I'm sure that all concerned are hopeful that with the stadium downtown more folks will be able to attend the Barons games which in turn I would assume will provide more tax revenue for the city.
At this point it seems that the property needed for the construction of the facility has been acquired or at least promised so that the city officials and Barons owners can proceed with the next step. It appears that the B & A Warehouse property is going to be incorporated into the overall plans or the city will continue negotiations with that property's owner. Eminent domain had been considered earlier in the negotiations but that I believe has been put on hold, which is, in my opinion, the right thing to do.
With the new Westin that is being built and the entertainment district in the works, it would seem a minor league stadium in the downtown area would certainly be an additional attraction. Let's hope that the city and the Barons owners have made the right decision.
Time will tell if this decision by city officials as well as the team's ownership will prove a plus for both parties.
The mayor, the city council, the property owners and the team have decided to make a very large investment in the city, let's all do our part to see that the investment was well placed.
