NBCRightNow.com -- In response to a nuclear safety board's input to an Oregon senator about the possible risk of explosion at the Hanford site, the Department of Energy says the tanks are ventilated and monitored.
The Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board (DNFSB)'s reported to Senator Ron Wyden the possible risk of explosion due to hydrogen gas build up inside Hanford's double-shell tanks (DSTs).
The DOE has released the following statement:
"All DSTs are actively ventilated, which means they have blowers and fans to prevent hydrogen gas build-up. These ventilation systems are monitored to ensure they are operating as intended. Additionally, consistent with the DNFSB recommendation, for even greater safety, DOE instituted an improved testing and monitoring system to allow for direct monitoring of the tank ventilation system in February. DOE is absolutely committed to ensuring the safety of Hanford's underground tanks."

PLATTSBURGH — Just one of some 1,200 students wore eyeglasses when they welcomed North Country Mission of Hope to Nicaragua for a recent mission there.
"Then, I looked at our group," Dr. George Mitsoglou said. "Three-quarters of them were wearing glasses."
Granted the American contingent was far smaller, but the contrast was striking all the same.
Mitsoglou, owner of Mati Eyecare in downtown Plattsburgh, rectified some of that inequity in proper eye care on the February trip, providing Mission of Hope's first clinic devoted to that need.
For four days, he gave eye exams to the impoverished people who live around the mission's Nicaraguan base in Chiquilistagua.
Many he saw needed medical attention for such ailments as glaucoma and cataracts.
But others were given the miracle of improved sight, as they were fitted with glasses for the first time in their lives.
"There were a lot of smiles," the doctor said. "It gave me a lot of satisfaction to be helping people who were in such great need."
Having grown up in a post-war era has made Mitsoglou more appreciative of being financially stable. He said he wanted to give back and searched for a mission group for years that not only assisted the needy in foreign countries, but also locally.
Mission of Hope, a Plattsburgh-based humanitarian-aid organization, was exactly what he was looking for, he said.
The group has a proven track record of giving back to Nicaragua, the second poorest country in the Western hemisphere, he said.
Fliers posted in the local community promoted the clinics, and they received such a big response that they had to turn some people away because of the lack of time.
"It was quite discouraging to do that," Mitsoglou said. "But hopefully, it'll give me an opportunity to return and help some more."

It is one of the first investments a parent can make in their child's life. It's often a necessary expenditure, and one that could start their little one out on the right foot.
But, when parents feel that a daycare center isn't meeting their expectations...they usually take action, like Cecela Martinez. "I changed daycare centers because they weren't interactive with my baby," she said.
And, so does the state of Georgia. Kay Hellwig is the Assistant Commissioner for Child Care. She says centers have rules and standards that they must meet. "We've made significant improvements in meeting the rules. We first started tracking this about 4 years ago and, at that time, about 68% were compliant. This past year, about 11% were not compliant, or 89% were compliant, and we think we're on target, our programs are on target," she said.
Ann Brinson runs Brinson Group Daycare. She's been caring for children for nearly 40 years...her former students now bring their children.
According to state records, Brinson's center has been compliant for the past 3 years. "Health and safety is first, they check hand washing to make sure diapering is done correctly. They check all of your equipment to make sure it's all safe and not broken. They check the teachers to make sure they are doing all that they're supposed to do with the children," Brinson told me.
Appletree Academy II also passed state inspections. Nikita Futo is the centers director. "One of the biggest things to get under compliance with the state of Georgia is to have that teacher training," Futo said.
Currently, teachers only need a high school diploma, but new rules will require staff members to have 2- or 4-year degrees, depending on their position.
There are more than 6,000 daycare centers in the state of Georgia, and all of them are expected to meet state standards in order to operate.
Since 2007, the state of Georgia has kept records on the safety standards of daycare centers. To date, nearly 2,500 of those centers have failed.
"Just because you get one mandated training every year, you could actually get more than one, depending on how many things you are not in compliance with...and they will come back out and don't want to see the same things wrong," said Futo.
Both centers we talked to encourage their children to engage in age-appropriate learning activities. The children also learn social skills that are necessary for a productive life.
"Some of my parents choose not to put them in the K-4 program because they feel like they get the social interaction they need here, and the learning that they need here," said Brinson.
Parents like Cecilia and her husband say that's important.

May 20, 2007
Albany -- An Albany man is behind bars tonight charged with aggravated assault.
49-year-old Lugene Thomas attempted to rape a woman inside a home on Florence Drive in Albany.
Raymond Simonton was working in his garage early Saturday morning when he heard someone kick in a door across the street from his home on Florence Drive.
"I walked out front to check it out and see what was going on and I heard lady hollering for help, 'Get off me,' 'Help!' 'Somebody please call the police.' So I felt like I did what anyone would have done, so I called the police."
Inside the home a struggle ensued. The victim was thrown into a window, where she sustained cuts to her arm.
Within in minutes the police arrived. Inside the home they found 49-year-old Lugene Thomas on top of the woman with his hand around her throat.
Residents of this typically quiet neighborhood were shocked to hear something like this took place just doors away.
"For something like this to happen in the neighborhood just right beside me, it makes me more aware that I have little daughters and other things that I need to be more protective of," says neighbor Jimmy Keaton.
Fantella Buchanan, who lives nearby says, "I'm going to be more careful. I'm going to stay in the house. That's what I'm going to do."
No word yet on the condition of the victim.
Thomas remains at the Dougherty County Jail.

Greensburg —
Kalyn Scheidler doesn't expect a parade for her birthday, but she always gets one anyway.
The 19-year-old, active-duty National Guard member turns 20 Nov. 11. She remembers a time in childhood when she thought Greensburg's Annual Veteran's Day Parade was thrown for her birthday, but she no longer views those parades through the eyes of childhood.
"When I was younger," she said, "I didn't understand Veteran's Day. Now that I'm older, and I serve in the military, I understand what it means, and it's so much more important to me."
She certainly doesn't mind the parades and public recognition that go along with Veteran's Day, but neither does she crave them.
"I prefer a 'thank you,'" she explained. "The parades are nice, but when someone comes up and shakes my hand and thanks me for my service, it makes me feel so proud. A 'thank you' means so much more than anything else."
Given Scheidler's background, it's easy to suspect that military service is woven into her DNA; more, one might even argue that the stars have aligned for this Greensburg native so that serving in the military is part of her destiny.
Scheidler is a fourth generation veteran. Her Great grandfather, Frank Wilmer, was a German prisoner of war in WWII, while her grandfather, Edgar Scheidler, served in Korea. Her father, David, joined the Army in 1978.
Most strikingly, Frank Wilmer was released from captivity Nov. 11.
Scheidler herself joined the National Guard in May 2011 and left for boot camp in June of that same year after graduating from Greensburg Community High School.
"My dad left the Army before I was born," she explained, "but growing up around him made me want to be in the military. He instilled in me all the necessary values: Honesty, respect, responsibility, hard work and respect for my elders."
Scheidler joined the National Guard with an eye toward her future.
"I joined for the experience and the training," she explained. "I expected to do the once-a-month thing on the weekends and basically live a normal life with my family the rest of the time."
The military, however, had other plans.
Shortly after returning from bootcamp, Scheidler learned she'd be called for a nine-month tour to Afghanistan, which, following a two-month training stint at Ft. Hood, Texas, will commence in February or March 2013.
"To be honest with you," she said, "I'm a little scared; it's my first deployment. It'll be hard being away from my family so long, but we have lots of experience in my unit — sergeants and other guys with multiple tours. Plus, we're all very well trained, and we know our jobs. I've got some really good friends over there, too, so that will make it easier."
Scheidler won't be involved in direct combat, but instead serves in the 1438th Transportation Company.
"I'm an 88M Transportation Specialty," she explained. "My job is to drive and maintain trucks. We'll be shuttling supplies into and around combat areas."
Of course, working in a war zone brings the constant risk of becoming involved in combat, but Scheidler feels adequately prepared for that possibility as well.
"They train you in combat in basic training," she said. "We're well trained in weaponry, navigation and convoy security. Plus, I'll spend my two months in Ft. Hood getting additional training to get ready for deployment. This is what we're trained to do; we know how to protect ourselves and how to protect each other; we know how to do our jobs. We have each others' backs. I'm confident we can complete our mission without casualty, and I look forward to coming home and continuing my life in the military and with my family here in Decatur County."
She continued, "It's not easy getting into the military or getting through boot camp. There are so many people who want to serve, but can't qualify, and I'm fortunate enough to have made it. It's a great honor to be part of something so important for my country."
This year, Scheidler will celebrate Veteran's Day and her birthday with her boyfriend at the Marine Corps Ball in Terre Haute.
In 2013, she'll turn 21 in Afghanistan.
"It'll be hard," she said. "being over there, away from home on my birthday, but I'm sure my friends will help make it the best experience possible."
There certainly won't be any Veteran's Day/birthday Parades for Scheidler next year, then; but that's okay. If there's a heartfelt "thank you for your service" waiting when she returns home to Greensburg, "happy birthday" will be sufficient on Veteran's Day.

Definitely a winner! by QuismO, San Francisco on 04/24/2006. Trim: 1997 Infiniti QX4, Owned 6 years.
Pros: The looks are great, it has the true ability to be utilized in many ways. I bought this vehicle for its 4WD capabilities as i needed a car for the snow. It handles the snow with EASE whether it be packed, powder, or icy. I was driving home through the sierra nevadas during a major snow storm while my buddy's highlander started sliding around a bend nearly going off the mountain, while the QX4 didn't slide or lose traction one bit...and this is with HT (half terrain), not All terrain tires!!! Cargo space is great, problems are minimal, 4WD is able to be engaged on the fly under 50 MPH. My manager (6'3" 300lbs), said it is surprisingly spacious, more spacious than his ford explorer.
Cons: The engine could use more power as many others have said, but it is more than tolerable, the torque is more than enough for this vehicle.
Overall review: Great, SOLID, and well-rounded SUV, pleases the superficial, as well as the practical. I have 145,XXX miles on my QX4, still runs as well as when i bought her a few years back, no oil leaks whatsoever, all shop work has been maintenance work, never a problem. Rear cargo area is enormous as rear seats can fold down to create a FLAT rear surface. Rear liftgate is great, better than rear gates that swing open to the side...the QX4's liftgate opens upward which can protect you from the rain/snow when loading/unloading cargo/groceries etc.

They didn't have any ice machines!!!The location is in downtown Boston so that was really cool. We could walk to everything and that was fun.

- The hotel was very central to the center of Boston. - Staff was extremely friendly and courtesy - Gave us umbrella when it was raining, and stored our bags after we checked out to see more of Boston. - Love the bottle water and coffee machines
- Rooms were clean, and the cleaner gave us add'l towels and toilet paper for the room, but we did notice underneath our bed a pair of shoes (not ours).Excellent hotel. This is our 2nd visit to Club Quarters as we also visit one in Houston, TX. Great location, love the water bottle & coffee machines again.

Good location, next to Copley Square and steps away from green and orange lines.
Hotel is old, room was not that clean. A/C conductors were full of dust.
The location of the hotel is great (esp at the price we ended up paying) - Newbury St, Public gardens, Trinity church are at walking distance, so would be Prudential center. Free WiFi, Continental Breakfast was a great plus too!
Could improve on cleanliness. And, when we asked if an extra bed could be provided in the room, the staff simply refused 'No, we don't do that.' So my friend and I ended up sharing the bed..

A woman publicly praised for rescuing her toddler son from a fire at their South Hill home was arrested Thursday for allegedly setting the blaze.
Pierce County sheriff's deputies arrested 37-year-old Melinda Sayers on suspicion of first-degree arson, in connection to the April 1 fire at her home in the 12500 block of 107th Avenue Court East.
The News Tribune does not generally name suspects before they have been charged with a crime, except in cases where a suspect has become a public figure.
Sayers spoke with multiple media outlets following the fire, chronicling how she said she escaped with her 2-year-old son through a window before a large explosion.
Investigators believe Sayers lit a candle and opened the valve of an oxygen tank in the home to start the fire, sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said.
She allegedly told investigators she started the fire to delay her infant daughter from coming home from the hospital, Troyer said.
"She states she started the fire because she had too much going on," he wrote in a statement.
Sayers told Q13 the 11-month-old baby, Abigail, was born prematurely and died in the hospital days after the fire. The baby was not present at the time of the fire. The oxygen tanks at the home were in preparation for the infant's home care, she said.
"Daughter dies day after 'Superwoman' saved son from explosion," one headline on the station's website reads.
"We have nowhere to live," Sayers told Q13 after the fire. "We have nothing for her (Abigail), so it's really hard."
The family told KOMO-TV that they were struggling, with husband Chris Sayers out of work and a car recently repossessed.
Troyer said the public has been supporting them through an online fundraiser and other donations for the past couple weeks.
"I would love to speak with you regarding our story," Sayers wrote in response to an email from The News Tribune two days after the fire. "Unfortunately our baby girl Abigail died at Children`s Hospital the night the (Q13) story aired. I can call you tomorrow."
The newspaper delayed an interview pending results of the fire investigation.
A message for Sayers was not immediately returned Thursday.

The St. Louis Cardinals slugged their way to a World Series championship last year, and they managed to do it despite a consistently quick hook for their starting pitchers. For Game 2 of the National League Division Series, the Cardinals brought back the old template, slugging their way past the Washington Nationals, 12-4, and evening up the series, 1-1.
Carlos Beltran had two home runs, and Allen Craig and Daniel Descalso each added a solo shot. Beltran was the first switch-hitter to hit two homers in the same playoff game since … Carlos Beltran, who last did it in Game 4 of the 2006 NLCS against the Cardinals. It was the third multi-homer playoff game of Beltran's career.
Jordan Zimmermann, who finished seventh in the National League in ERA, started the game for the Nationals, but he switched luggage with Joe Saunders at the airport. Zimmermann had only one game all season in which he allowed more than four runs, but it happened to be against the Cardinals on Sept. 1, when he gave up eight runs in a losing effort. He fared slightly better on Monday, but mostly because Davey Johnson had a quicker hook. Zimmermann was pulled after three innings, and he allowed five runs on seven hits.
The Cardinals fell behind early, as Zimmermann knocked in a runner on a butcher-boy play in the top of the second, but the Cardinals stormed back in the bottom-half of the inning, with David Freese doubling home a run to tie the game 1-1. After Descalso singled home another run, Cards manager Mike Matheny made the bold move of pinch-hitting for starting pitcher Jaime Garcia with runners on first and third and one out. Skip Schumaker was sent up, and he grounded out to give the Cardinals another run. Jon Jay finished the scoring with a two-out single, putting St. Louis up 4-1.
Garcia threw only two innings, walking three, allowing a run, and throwing 51 pitches.
A solo shot from Craig put the Cards up 5-1 in the third, and Descalso's homer in the fourth off reliever Craig Stammen pushed the lead to 6-1. The Cardinals added on another run on a Danny Espinosa error at the end of the fourth, threatening to pull away.
But the Nationals didn't go away quietly, at least, not at first. With one out in the fifth, Ryan Zimmerman and Andy LaRoche had back-to-back solo home runs. After Beltran's first home run in the sixth made it 8-3, the Nationals got two runners on with no one out in the top of the seventh, Ryan Zimmerman hit into what GameDay describes as "a sacrifice double play," which looks like this:
Harper made the second out of the inning at third, down by four. He probably won't do that again, so have your yuks now, National League.
The Cardinals tacked on in the bottom of the eighth against lefty Sean Burnett, putting the game out of reach with a Jon Jay RBI triple and Beltran's second homer of the game.
In other news, Jon Jay made a sweet catch in the sixth inning, only to be visited by the spectral apparition of a giant, disembodied Tony La Russa head.
Not worth it, Jon. Not worth it.
The series travels to Washington D.C., with Chris Carpenter going against Edwin Jackson in Game 3.

"Vidic is doing fine," the manager said. "He's on a course of injections to help his sciatica. If he improves then we'd consider bringing him out later on. The one thing we don't want to do is make it worse by flying him halfway around the world. So we have to consider that.
"Nani had an operation on his nose to clear a bit of breathing. At the moment we're not sure if flying is allowed so that's the one downside. We'll have to wait and see."
Moyes also revealed his plans for the first game of Tour 2013 presented by Aon, against a Singha All Star XI on Saturday.
"It's my first opportunity to manage the team and we'll try and give many people an opportunity to play; some of the younger players will get some game time," he said.
Federico Macheda and Bebe are also missing from the touring party and Moyes added: "At the moment, we're looking to change one or two things around. I just need a bit of time.
"I've chosen not to bring them on the tour. I felt as if I wanted to give some other players an opportunity so I've left them behind."

Defining Kanban
There has been a long thread in the kanbandev group at Yahoo about how to define what a kanban system is, and is not. Defining kanban is important because without an unambiguous definition it is difficult to discuss kanban.
A kanban system is a system for process control. Kanban was invented by Taichi Ohno at Toyota more than fifty years ago. There are many types of kanban systems, for production processes, for administrative processes, for software development... All kanban systems have certain characteristics in common.
We in the software community are new to kanban, and it is easy to get a bit too enthusiastic, and unintentionally change the meaning of kanban when we discuss it. It is my opinion that this would be unfortunate. One reason is that we dump a lot of knowledge that has been amassed under more than half a century. When we do that, we have to rediscover what other people have discovered before us. That slows us down, because we loose the ability to build further on the existing knowledge base.
The following Intermediate Objective Map reflects my current understanding of kanban (feel free to laugh if you are from Toyota, Honda, or one of the many other companies that has spent decades building a thorough knowledge of kanban):
Note that some things necessary to have a kanban system are external to the kanban system itself. It is also worth noting that you cannot describe a kanban system by describing only the physical system. Kanban is a system with an attitude. This is something that often trips up Western (and many Eastern) companies that try to introduce Lean and kanban.
Here is a somewhat simplified map of a kanban system:
Note that there are two types of kanban tokens in the system:
- Work-In-Process (WIP) kanban move with work items. A WIP kanban serves as identification and job instruction.
- Withdrawal kanban move in the opposite direction of the work items in the process. They serve as identification and transfer tags.
If you have used a kanban board for software development, usually a whiteboard with sticky notes, you are familiar with WIP kanban. That's the sticky notes.
Where are the withdrawal kanban? Well, they are there. Withdrawal kanban are the release signals that tell that it is okay to move more work into a process step. On a kanban board, that is the empty space left when you move a WIP kanban. Look at the drawing of a board below. It is a simple kanban system with only one kanban slot at each process step:
It is actually pretty neat. As you move sticky notes (WIP kanban) to the right, holes (withdrawal kanban) will move to the left, so you can move more sticky notes to the right.
A topic that is related to how to define kanban, is the scope of kanban. This is also a topic that has been debated for awhile. Armed with a definition of kanban, we can figure out what the scope is. The IO Map below is a generic description of a process. There are only two necessary conditions in the map that are fulfilled by kanban. I have drawn a rectangle around them.
If you look at Lean, or the Toyota Production System, the complete system fulfills all of the conditions in the map, but kanban, which is only a small part of the complete system, fulfills only the conditions in the red rectangle.
That is my opinion on how to define kanban.

Henrik Mårtensson replied on Sat, 2009/06/13 - 2:42am in response to: Daniel Kaplan
You are right, it is not an introductory article. The original was posted at my blog, Kallokain: http://kallokain.blogspot.com/
The purpose of the article is to provide a base for further discussion of what kanban is. There are plenty of kanban definitions on the web, but all the ones I could find had problems.
Some were too general, and included systems that are not really kanban. There is a process scheduling system called Drum-Buffer-Rope, which is distinct from kanban, with different properties. Yet, many kanban definitions, including most of those in the kanbandev discussion group were so general they lumped them together.
Some definitions also lumped kaizen (continuous improvement) with kanban, which I believe is wrong. The relationship between kanban and kaizen is symbiotic, but that does not make kaizen a part of kanban. A (somewhat clumsy) analogy would be heart and lungs, one cannot function without the other, but that does not mean doctors should discuss them and treat them as if they were the same organ. They are part of the same system, but so are a lot of other things.
Another thing I saw was the tendency to add a lot of stuff to kanban, trying to turn the process control system into a methodology. I felt that would muddy the waters, confusing a spark plug with an engine, so to speak. This would make it difficult to use the spark plug in a different engine. :-)
Kanban is originally a part of the Toyota Production System (TPS). TPS ideas have been translated to many different fields of endeavor. A good place for a software developer to start is with Tom and Mary Poppendieck's book:
Lean Software Development
This will get you a feel for the system as a whole. Kanban is just a small part of it.
I recommend the following books for software methodologists and managers who are serious about implementing Lean (or Agile software methodologies):
The Toyota Way by Jeffrey Liker
Lean Cost Management: Accounting for Lean by Establishing Flow by James Huntzinger
Hoshin Kanri for the Lean Enterprise: Developing Competitive Capabilities and Managing Profit with CDROM by Thomas L. Jackson
Study of the Toyota Production System: From an Industrial Engineering Viewpoint (Produce What Is Needed, When It's Needed) by Shigeo Shingo and Andrew P. Dillon (Well, you have to be a bit of a nerd to get through this one, but it will give you insights.)

Lean Software Development still is useful, but the more I work in medium sized businesses, the more that rapid prototyping is the way to go. You will get you a feel for the system as a whole just like Kanban, but it is worth trying. This does not mean throwing out Project Management discipline, but does mean getting to the end point earlier. We have used it with the property management chicago site, the brick paving site as well as many others.

I am considering my current shop to one that uses woocommerce and I am having an issue with the product variations. I am selling fabric by the yard in 1/4 yard increments and when I set up the product variation, it shows up on the product page as "From:XX," with "XX" being the lowest priced variation, which in this case is the 1/4 yard increment. I need the one yard increment to show on the product page with text to read "price per yard" rather than "from..." The variations themselves work, but the labeling is wrong. Where in the script can I make changes in to get the correct price selected and the text changed? Thanks in advance.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
You can use WooCommerce built-in filter/hooks to modify the output for pricing. I believe the filter you want is woocommerce_variation_price_html; you can find the documentation at WooCommerce Docs. It's going to require some PHP coding to do.
But a simple solution may be to use simple products using the quantity to determine your total pricing. So in your case set the price per 1/4 yard and allow the customer to indicate the number of '1/4 yards' they would like to purchase.
WooCommerce would then show the price per 1/4 yard and you could do away with the overhead of variations.

Saturday's combination of rain and warm temperatures ate up much of Central Wisconsin's snow base this weekend. And with fewer than 10 days until Christmas, the possibility of the region missing a so-called "white" Christmas has come top of mind for many looking forward to the holiday.
A Christmas is considered "white" when there is at least 1" of snow on the ground on Dec. 25th. And if nothing were to change in the weather between now and the holiday, this would be a "green" Christmas, as most of the Wausau metroplex has lost it's snow base.
Northern Wisconsin is part of a few areas of the United States where "white" Christmases are considered the norm. According to the National Weather Service, points north of Wausau historically see an inch of snow on the ground on Dec. 25th between 75 and 90% of the time, with the chances increasing closer to the border with upper Michigan.
Snow lovers and "white" Christmas proponents will want to pay close attention to the forecast this week. The forecast models are advertising the potential for an organized storm system to develop over the southwestern United States, strengthen as it moves over the Plains, and become a large winter storm by the time it reaches the North American Great Lakes.
Of important note to Wisconsin is that the current projections place the track of the storm's center moving south of the state. That course would provide moisture, but combine it with colder air from Canada resulting in snow over much of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Warmer air would be contained south of the storm's center of circulation giving rain to Indiana and Ohio.
Forecasts change and systems don't always come together as expected. But should this system come to fruition, any snow Wisconsin picks up would likely last through Christmas. Temperatures on the western side of the system are expected to bring daytime highs on Friday and Saturday in the 20s.
Stay up on the latest forecast projections as we get closer to Christmas with the Storm Track 9 weather team, Newsline 9 and waow.com.
A big name retailer has its eyes on a spot in Wausau, according to city council members.

Behind the Fourth of July, Labor Day is the most popular day to fire up the grill and cookout. Executive Chef at The Beefsteak Club in Fargo, Scott Motschenbacher, woke up early to share some of his grilling favorites on the Valley Today and make you a grilling pro.
Grilled Pizza
Cook on grill top with lid closed for about 5-10 minutes. Be sure to rotate and watch bottom of crust to prevent burning.
Salad on the Grill
Grill vegetables till tender for about 5-10 minutes. Corn and peppers will take the longest to cook. Cut corn off the cob over the finished salad.
Side Vegetables

I have owned several tents and for the money this is one of the best. First time I set it up I did so in the dark while watching 2 kids and it still took no more that 3 minutes. The first night was clear and tucking the rain fly up for more air flow was simple. Second night was raining and with the rain fly down absolutely nothing seeped into the tent. Shared the tent with my kids and using the vestibules for our larger items left us snug but not uncomfortable inside. Overall very impressed with the performance and quality of this tent.
Used the Mermot Limelight 3, a good two person tent, for a week in Minnesota's BWCA . All types of conditions, some extreme wind, rain, and hail. Tent performed well. A little splash back off of the fry and up onto the lower side screens, but never had any water in the tent, with a shallow river flowing under it at times. For Two people, offers room for bags and packs, and vestibule offers extra space for boots and other gear. Like the custom ground cloth with corner tabs and grommets, stays centered under tent, even if you move the tent. Like the more environmentally friendly sage green color. Set up with one person in about four minutes, including the fry.
Took this tent along on my 4-day to the UP of Michigan and it performed beautifully in cold, wet and windy conditions the first two nights. There wasn't a drop of water from any avenue that leaked into this tent. I had it up within five mins each time we stopped and the rainfly and footprint held up really superbly.The cherry on top of buying this, was that it was pretty inexpensive relative to its performance and the other similar-sized and rated options out there. Highly recommend.
Love this tent. Bought this last October with the intention of camping out at a music festival, which my girlfriend and I eventually did at Coachella this year. The 3person tent is really a 2 person tent but that is fine if you did your research correctly. Setting up the tent is a breeze. Even in low light, I managed to get this set up by myself in about 10min or lesser. Really easy. Also, by my standards, i reckon that the tent is pretty light. It can probably fit into a 60litre backpack with room to spare for clothes, sleeping bag and what-not for a weekend hiking/ camping trip. I highly recommend this gem.
My wife and I bought this tent to replace a much smaller 2p. We couldn't be happier. It is really nice to be able to sit up and not rub your head on the walls.We have found this tent to be very roomy. There is plenty of space for the two of us and our 80 lbs dog from side to side. However, what I really like is all of the extra room at the foot our of our camp mats. Moreover, the rainfly provides a lot of covered space in the vestibule for packs and other items we don't want inside.This tent is not a breezy as some others. This is due to the fact that the tent is not completely mesh but rather a mix of mesh and nylon. I certainly appreciate that the ripstop nylon has held up to dog paws and claws. Also, body construction has made this a nice tent for winter camping in Tennessee (lows of 25).I weighed the tent the other day and it came in at 6.5 lbs.
So we've all grown up with the old tents that had the fabric sleeve that you had to feed the poles through and the try and bend the poles while also evening the fabric so that you could reach the holes. Then after all is said and done, you had just enough space to feel cramped with everything and sleep uncomfortably for a while. Oh the fond memories! Well you can blame this little sucker for your kids not having to share those memories. Little twerps will have it easy. In case you can's tell from the picture, the poles are easily bent and entered into the holes, and as if it was dreamt by the gods the tent has little clips that latch onto the poles making this tent quite possibly the easiest thing to build in the world. and as if that wasn't enough, not only is it roomier than my house it also has a small hanging hammock for you to store small gear items so that things are up out of the way. I even have a little light that hangs on it perfectly. Talk about spoiled!
So I was looking for a baller tent to keep my girlfriend and I dry over the weekend. A proverbial monsoon was on its way Saturday night and my girlfriend and I don't take kindly to sleeping in a puddle.Anyway, we ditched our old beater tent and headed for the high life with a Marmot Limelight 3P Tent. Friday night, our first night, was perfect. It was a simple, warm night and the tent had plenty of ventilation to make for some great sleep under the Ocala Florida skies. Saturday night came and I think mother nature decided to fill the aquifers because the rain was coming down with PURPOSE. The included Rain Fly held it's ground and was an outright phalanx barricade against a cavalry of rainfall. Luckily we pitched our tent (with included footprint) on some very porous sand. It soaked the shed water up like a sponge. We stayed dry all night!All in all, the Limelight tent and MooseJaw with their overnight shipping helped to make the trip a great success!
bought the cedar green color last month because i was considering going to some outdoor music festivals with the missus. it's really easy to set the tent up. i've set it up in my apartment for the past month since the delivery and have been sleeping in it with a thin sleeping mattress, haha. for an indoor camper, i'd like to mention that sleeping in the tent helps to retain some heat at night :). overall, i'm very pleased with this as my first tent purchase. i can't wait to test this camping outdoors.
Using this one for 2 person car camping and so far so good. I like the 2 door design, and interior is quite spacious for 2. 3 fit people that like each other should not have a problem in this either, but the gear might have to go outside in one of the two spacious vestibules. Oh wait, there is a gear loft included that can hold a thing or two - definitely a plus. This tent also comes with a footprint, so that's another $20 you don't have to spend on it. The included stakes are better than the typical low-end tent stakes that usually come with tents, but I still managed to bend one with some aggressive pounding.Air flow is plentiful, and they really weren't shy with the mesh on the body of the tent. Condensation buildup depends on many things besides the tent design, so I can't say that it is any better or worse than with other tents in the class.The only suggestion I have is to increase the size/number of storage pockets. There is one in each corner, but i wish they were bigger
I love the size of the vestibules, interior height is great. it's easy to set up. Great for 2 people plus gear, or one person plus large dog. However, in a hard rain, the rain splashed up under the rainfly and into the tent due to the low profile ventilation. The low profile ventilation also creates quite a draft on your head and feet.
Needed a comfortable, high quality tent for two plus gear. We settled on the 3P since most 2Ps seem to be borderline small without weighing or costing much less. Turned out to be a great decision. Plenty of room for two plus all our gear inside the tent. The two big vestibules for muddy boots, firewood etc. Interior pockets and gear loft are great. Zippers work awesome. Reflective guy lines work great. The setup and teardown are simple and quick. Very happy with the free groundsheet. There is minor condensation on the fly occasionally but it never makes it inside the tent. You can easily split the tent into two parts for packing resulting in a measly 3lbs each. Overall a great value for such high quality gear. If only our car camping tent was this good. Maybe next year....
As I unpacked it,the first thing I noticed was how much lighter it was compaired to my other 3 man tent.I then unwrapped it,the poles were so light and the tent was well made.I looked for instructions so I could set it up,there were none,no worries it was easy to set up.Zippers work great,don't get caught up on the sides when your opening or closing the tent.I then jumped inside,a great 2 man tent.Sure you can get 3 people in it sittting down playing cards on a rainy afternoon,but if you want to sleep with some elbow room,2 people is the way to go.I read a few reviews that said the same.To be honest,I haven't tried it with 2 other adults but with my 2 kids,the tent was just fine for the 3 of us.I'm very happy I bought this tent.

Farage: 'Bercow is a disgrace to the office of Speaker'
Commons speaker John Bercow's comments on migrant workers has raised questions about his political neutrality. As Speaker, Mr Bercow is expected to stay out of active political debates.
Nigel Farage, the UK Independence Party leader told the Daily Telegraph: "It is outrageous that Mr Bercow is happy to overthrow the wisdom of ages and think it acceptable to comment on matters that are both highly political and deeply contentious.
"He is a disgrace to the office of Speaker. There are very good practical and constitutional reasons why the Speaker is neutral, reasons that he obviously believes are beneath his own august self image."

12oz bottle pours into my glass a hazy straw yellow with golden highlights and a small bubbly head that quickly fades. Aromas of crisp wheat grain maltiness along with plenty of yeast esters. Hints of clove, pepper, bubblegum and some fruity banana notes as well. A little mellow overall.
First sip brings a crisp wheat malt body upfront that carries into spicy yeast tones. Lots of fruity esters with banana coming through most. Clove, pepper and bubblegum accents that flow down to a crisp clean finish. Tasty hefeweizen overall.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a nice crisp twang from the wheat and good spritzy carbonation. This one is refreshing and ends up going down easy enough. A solid hefe from Stoudt's that would be good drinking in the summer months.

Appears a clouded golden sunrise haziness, bright white head forms nice and thick. Fine even layers of speckledlacing forms around my Weihenstephaner glass. Aroma brings a blast of banana and clove the spicy German yeast strain used here is great, it really stands out in the smell. A bit of citrus and bready whea arise as well with a touch of chalky minera water tones going on. Flavors collide with banana, sharp wheat, mild citrus tones, bubblegum like the hard stale sticks from the packs of baseball cards. A really nice summer seasonal authentic as they come, much like most German offerings that Stoudt's put out. The mouthfeel is nice and sprizy carbonation this is dead on for the mouthfeel that lacks from most American brewed hefeweizens, this stuff is great sharp wheat with the clove/vannilla/bubblegum/and banana tones that I've come to love from this syle of beer. Drinkability is incredible one of those beers that should be bought by the case this summer.

Notes are from last night (5/28).
This brew pours out a clouded golden bronze. A moderate head forms, retaining pretty well, and some spotty lacing is left on the glass.
This one's got a very solid hefe aroma of clove and banana in a solid wheat backbone with a light lemon zest.
A soft flavor with all of the clove and banana flavors up front gives way to a balance of grains, lemon zest, green apple tartness and just a touch of hops for balance. The finish is soft and lingers shortly.
The mouthfeel is creamy smooth with a nice bite of crispness. Carbonation is moderate in a light-medium body. This one flows very nicely.
This is a nice hefe that isn't too tame and I'd like to try it again.

Had on tap at the Pickled Pig
A: Pours a hazy yellow with a nice white head, one finger in height. Decent retention, but minimal lacing.
S: Banana, citrus and grassy ops with a little bit of pepper and cloves.
T: The taste begins with some banana, wheat, and grassy hops. Underneath there is some bubblegum flavor and more spice, mostly cloves.
M: Medium bodied with lively/active carbonation.
O: A decent hefe that I would drink again, but would probably reach for something else.

Stoudt's- Heifer-in-Wheat (Hefeweizen)
A- Cloudy hazy yellow with a big billowy white head. Minimal lacing on the glass.
S- Strong fresh wheat, hay/ grass, and cloves.
T- Sweet honey touched wheat, cloves, a slight bubblegum flavor.
M- Starts of sweet with a big wheat flavor. Finishes off slightly spicy and dry. Smooth and easy.
Overall- A good sessionable hefe. Solid, middle of the road but enjoyable.

12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: A golden, creamy-looking Hefeweizen, just the way I like it. More points would've been given for longer-lasting retention and lacing, but the look otherwise, to me, is right on.
Smell: Lighter banana and bubblegum and sweeter wheat malt flavors. Solid and balanced, but way too subdued for me.
Taste: Same with the aroma: it's there, but way too subdued. Bigger bubblegum, it seems, but it lacks the creaminess and the banana cream that I like so much in my choice of Hefe flavors. Finish is good and balanced, but doesn't linger as much as I'd like.
Mouthfeel: Nice carbonation, but again lacking creaminess that it should have.
Drinkability: Like a lot of domestic Hefes, this one doesn't stand up to the real Bavarian style. That said, it would be easy to put down a few of these, though it's on the lighter side, even though much of the classic flavors are there. They just don't take on the dominance they should.

Picked up at State Line Liquor, a new one. Cloudy yellow with some good foam. Wheat aroma, a bit watery in mouthfeel,coinciding with some creamy mouthfeel and a slight but well-malted down sourness.A clove, even a tad of sugar. OK but nothing special to drink.

On tap at World of Beer Raleigh. Served in a tulip.
A - bright yellow with no head
S - banana, faint wheat
T - faint clove, banana, wheat
M - light to medium bodied, smooth, well carbonated
This is a pretty standard Americanized Hefeweizen. The yeast brings out the traditional banana and clove notes but they aren't very bold and forward. This is an easy to drink, light, summer beer. I probably won't have it again, but I'm glad I tried it once.

With a swirl of the bottle to rouse the yeast, Stoudt's Heifer-in-Wheat pours the traditional cloudy golden orange body of a Bavarian hefeweizen. Surprisingly, the head drops fairly readily, and it leaves little lacing behind on the glass.
The aroma is sweet and distinctly wheaty, threaded through with notes of soft clove.
In the mouth it's medium-bodied with a dextrinous edge, and soft and smooth with a very fine-bubbled, seemingly natural carbonation that lightly tickles the tongue.
The flavor is as the nose suggests with a very flavorful and sweet wheaty malt base. The yeast lends soft clove, a hint of vanilla, and some mild smokey and plastic phenols. Hops are barely found, but what's there is grassy and floral. The bitterness is kept to a minimum, and it's definitely on the sweet side.
A good representation of the style. Quite drinkable.

Thanks to the beneficence of Paulys55, I finally get to try a bunch of traditional German-style beers brewed in eastern Pennsylvania. This was the first one of them I cracked open.
Appearance: Poured from a 12-ounce bottle into my half-liter generic weissbier glass, Heifer-in-Wheat looks just as expected: a cloudy, golden-hued body with a faint hint of orange. Copious (four-finger) head, augmented by the yeast stirred up prior to a "weizen pour." Lots of retention on said head. Right on target for the style.
Smell: Also exemplary of the style, if somewhat more muted than the best of them. Crisp wheaty tang hits the nose first, followed very quickly by bready yeast, banana, and cloves. A glimmer of noble hops character is in there somewhere, but it's not at all prominent (again, just right for the style).
Taste: An archetypal hefeweizen that I'd give a 5.0, were it not a bit heavy on chalky/powdery yeast character. This must be a pretty fresh bottle -- the banana/clove is right up front, but at the end of each sip, I can actually detect the hops a LITTLE bit. Wholesome, bready, and mildly sweet.
Mouthfeel: Again, I'm guessing that this is a fresh bottle, as the mouthfeel is as rich, creamy, and full as any hefeweizen I've had (and I've had a lot of them). Vibrant effervescence carries the hefty yeast body right down the throat, exactly as should be the case with a good hefeweizen.
Overall: With 4.5s in every other category, I've got to deliver a 4.5 here, too! Easy-drinking, refreshing, and spot-on for the style. A glance at other reviews strongly suggests that this beer deteriorates quickly on the shelf, so be sure to seek out a fresh bottle (or, better yet, try it on tap). As American-brewed hefeweizens go, this one is near the top of the heap!

12oz bottle
A- Pours a hazy golden orange with an off-white head that quickly disappears.
S- The aroma is very good for an American made Hefeweizen. There are all of the notes of wheat, banana and clove that you would expect from a beer this style.
T- The taste like the aroma features some sweet malt with banana, cloves and yeast.
M- The mouthfeel is between light and medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation.
D- Overall, not a bad Hefeweizen and is definitely one that I enjoyed.

Had a bottle in one of the less-smoky corners of Liberty St. Tavern.
The appearance is a bit disappointing, while the hazy yellow is on, I can't get any head retention. The aroma and flavor, however, are quite authentic, albeit clove-heavy. Aside from the clove, the beer is still focused on phenol with light spices and pepper with a touch of vanilla and cream. Definitely a worthy hefe and worth trying.

This take on a German classic has its ups and downs.
Look: Unfiltered yellow with little head.
Aroma: Lemongrass, banana, cloves.
Taste: Same as aroma...mellow and easy to drink (made for the 90 degree days here in Jersey during summer). Did lack that crispness and breadiness that I look for.
Overall: Worth a try in the summer with some bbq as they are easy drinking and respectable ABV at 5%. That being said, go down the beer isle and look for some common German Hefe's such as Polaner or Scheider Weise and experience the real deal.

Notes from 4/6/12
Cloudy, orange-amber gold body with a slim head that doesn't stick around. A thin, white, soapy rim remains.
Bright and cool clove & banana aroma. Warm esters. Floral. Pleasant in the nose.
Deliciously crisp up front with fruity yeast, over-ripe banana and wheat bread. Wood-like tone far in the back end.
This brew throws long and dry on the taste buds. What I discern to be some booze lingers in a friendly way. Exceptional!
Notes: quite possibly the tastiest hefeweizen I've had to date. I threw this down with pleasure in no time.

Clear straw yellow with no head. It's not hazy as I expected and the color is light.
Grainy smell with a dash of lemon and clove.
Taste has faint banana and clove, a little lemon. Taste is also grainy.
Mouthfeel is crisp and medium-light body.
This is a pretty average hefe. All aspects but the mouthfeel are underwhelming

When I poured it I thought it was a little pale for a hefeweizen but it smelled good, aromatic and fruity.
The taste was blander than I hoped for, not bad, just not a lot to it. I think its a decent choice for hefeweizen. You could do a lot worse, but you could choose a lot better too.

This brew pours a rather clear golden wheat color with little yeast I can see and moderate carbonation compared too many hefes in my experience. The head is lacking compared to the last one of these I drank. To the smell...this is a properly spiced and somewhat fruity Weiss. The balanced smells on even if the banana character is a bit strong.
Glug glug glug
Ok first off... big banana and fruit flavors, underplayed by the spices which are balanced and supportive of the overall flavor. The overall effect is that this is a crisp and tasty wheat beer that's not over or underwhelming at all. I could ask for a bit more, but this beer is fine for the style and serves as a good representation of wheat beers.

Bats Power FGCU to Two-Game Sweep of Bethune-Cookman
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Senior Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla./North Port HS/Pasco-Hernando CC) equaled a program record for career doubles during his 4-for-5 night at the dish to lead a 17-hit attack by the FGCU baseball team during its convincing 12-1 win over Bethune-Cookman Wednesday night at Swanson Stadium.
With the win, the Eagles complete the two-game sweep of the Wildcats, out-scoring them 17-3 over the last two nights. FGCU is now 17-16 on the season, while Bethune-Cookman's (19-17) two losses to the Blue and Green come after winning nine of their previous 11 games.
Maxfield's season-high four hits featured a pair of doubles that moved him into a tie for FGCU's all-time lead with 47 two-baggers, including 13 this season. The North Port, Fla. native also extended his hit streak to 10 games, his second double figure streak of the season. Also included in Maxfield's big night were three runs scored and three RBI.
FGCU's 17 hits included eight extra-base knocks, highlighted by senior Robert Greene's (Cape Coral, Fla./Mariner HS) third home run of the season in the bottom of the sixth. Greene took over behind the plate for sophomore Mike Reeves (Peterborough, Ontario/St. Peter's Secondary) in the fifth inning. Reeves reached base in all three of his plate appearances, going 2-for-2 with a double, triple and three RBI.
As impressive as the Eagles were at the plate, the pitching staff held its own as five different pitchers combined to limit Bethune-Cookman to six hits. Senior Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla./Lake Region HS) made his first start since 2009, going three innings and allowing just one run on two hits.
Freshman Harrison Cooney (Vero Beach, Fla./Vero Beach HS) took over in the fourth and tossed three scoreless en route to picking up the win and improving to 3-1. Cooney is the second freshman in as many nights (Ricky Knapp) to earn a win on the mound for the Eagles, striking out three and giving up just two hits.
FGCU set the tone early and often, jumping out to a 5-0 lead by the end of the second inning and eventually plated multiple runs in four of their first five at-bats. Maxfield and Reeves drove in all five runs over the first two innings.
The Eagles put the game away in the fourth and fifth innings with five more runs to stretch their lead to 10-1. After both Maxfield and Reeves reached base to leadoff the fourth, junior Javi Sujo (Miami, Fla./Miami Sunset HS/Middle Georgia College) delivered an RBI single that was followed by a run-scoring double from freshman Jake Foley (Punta Gorda, Fla./Charlotte HS). In the fifth, Maxfield record-tying RBI double and Greene's two-run bomb over the left field wall accounted for the three runs.
Freshman Brandon Bednar (Stuart, Fla./South Fork HS) four-hit game was his second of the season, as he also scored three runs and walked once. Batting sixth for the 17th time this season, Sujo went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Eight of the nine starters in the FGCU lineup recorded at least one hit.
FGCU will start the second half of its Atlantic Sun season on Friday when it travels north to take on Kennesaw State. The sixth place Eagles will take on the fifth-place Owls (19-16, 8-6) in a crucial conference series. Friday's opener is slated for 6 p.m.

You can buy all the actually buy game worn pink stuff, including footballs, jerseys, shoes, and gloves at the nfl.com site. here's the site if your into buying sweaty uniforms from your favorite players.
btw, most labs work on multiple types of cancer and cancer research in general, so it's not like ALL the money goes only to breast cancer research. The research is used for cure of all cancers...October 14, 2011 at 9:43 a.m.
There is a place for all this "pink".
Football players aren't where it should be.
I mean heck, why don't we really send a message and start letting our military troops wear some of that great pink camo.
Just because I think we have gone overboard with the pink crap doesn't mean I'm not sypathetic. See how you jumped to an inaccurate conclusion.
IMO - Breast cancer awareness with all this pink is silly. We're aware already you can get rid of the color.October 14, 2011 at 5:45 a.m.
The Pink obviously has its roots due to breast cancer although I feel that it has transformed. The pink is a symbol of Women's struggle through cancer and health problems period.October 13, 2011 at 2:34 p.m.
Why does breast cancer get all the attention? Did we get all the others nicked already?October 13, 2011 at 9:26 a.m.
@jasonbourne...I think unless you've actually experienced (maybe you have?) "cancer" (all types)...you might feel more sympathetic to the cause and awareness thereof! For what it's worth, please see the following link...for which I am a "black ribbon", i.e., Melanoma (NOT JUST skin cancer, but the DEADLIEST FORM OF CANCER), aka, THE BEAST!!

bkc, I am glad you were able to find the cancer early enough and defeat it! Totally agree with you! I have children and am constantly busy and running around with no time for myself. I see pink and it does make me think of a couple family members of mine and what they went through and reminds me to get checked and do self exams. I do buy a lot of pink products BUT also read on the back of what I buy how much goes to breast cancer awareness. I would do the same for any other type of cancer as well!!October 13, 2011 at 8:45 a.m.
how much of money from these pink campaigns actually goto research / mecical treatment and how much goes to advertising and salaries ?October 13, 2011 at 8:20 a.m.
I am a breast cancer defeater! My Mother and Older sister and their Doctors did not detect their breast cancer soon enough and both died at 62 and 41. I see the whole pink ribbon campaign as a way to boost awareness for women to do self exams,get annual checkups,raise money for research, and for free or low cost exams for women who other wise would not receive them.
I went three years without an exam just because I had a lapse in insurance. I worried every single day of that three years. In my mind it was never a thought of "what if" but "when" I would get the diagnosis.
Women spend more time taking care of everyone else kids,Husbands,parents,jobs, etc. and put off taking care of themselves, sometimes until it is to late.
Early detection is the key to fighting this diease at this time and if a pink ribbon will motivate women and the people who love them to get them to go for an exam then BRING ON THE PINK.
With that being said, I am sick of the public being mislead by companies who make money and contribute very little to help defeat breast cancer.October 13, 2011 at 7:42 a.m.
what i don't really understand with this whole Breast Cancer Awareness push is who isn't already aware of breast cancer? are there really people out there who see the pink stuff and think "Breast cancer? what's that?" maybe our efforts would be a little better served by making people aware of conditions that get little press and minimal funding.October 13, 2011 at 5:39 a.m.
Yep, it's overused and bordering on insane.
Football players are all wearing pink. Guess what??? They don't have a choice the team tells them they will.
Yes, like all the other cancers, I'm aware of Breast Cancer and I don't need something pink to make me remember.
Lung cancer is pretty darned hazardous for you, why doesn't it get a color? That prostate cancer doesn't have very many friends, why no color for that one?
Personally, I think it's silly that someone thinks we need a color in order to remember a cancer.October 13, 2011 at 4:01 a.m.
