|Guardsman Gordon returns home from Bahrain
|Monday, November 12, 2012 12:23 PM
"We went to Camp Shelby in Mississippi and the mission was cut by almost 67 percent or 900 troops," Gordon explained. "Myself and 17 soldiers were then assigned to Task Force Buckeye and sent to Kuwait and then Bahrain. There were four separate missions for 500 troops with the main focus on entry control. We had four guard towers and were a quick-reaction force."
Bahrain is a small island country situated near the western shores of the Persian Gulf. It is an archipelago of 33 islands, the largest being Bahrain Island, at 34 miles long by 11 miles wide. Saudi Arabia lies to the west and is connected to Bahrain by the King Fahd Causeway. Iran lies 120 miles to the north of Bahrain, across the Gulf. The peninsula of Qatar is to the southeast across the Gulf of Bahrain.
Gordon's job was in administration near the Royal Bahrain Air Force Base and his troops were there for protection.
"They like the U.S. They were happy we were there. They were very polite. We got along with them great," he said. "We helped protect them. Bahrain is an island about 40 miles long and 15 miles wide."
Bahrian is also near the Strait of Hormuz, the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean and one of the world's most strategically-important choke points.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. and E.U. impose sanctions against Iran.
Life in Bahrain was not easy. It made Gordon and his men thankful for the simple things in the U.S.
"Drinking water was questionable and there was no grass or trees," he expounded. "The days are hot and the nights are cold. There was very little rain."
The troops did have more recreation time than their counterparts in Afghanistan and other more volatile places.
"We could go to dinner and get afternoon passes," he said. "We were more fortunate than others."
The Delphos native also enjoyed some sightseeing, visiting museums and mosques and the Tree of Life, which turned out to be a little disappointing.
"The Tree of Life doesn't live up to it's name," he said. "It was a little rough looking."
Part of Gordon's job was make soldiers realize many of their fellow soldiers are not so lucky.
With 29 years of service to his country under his belt, Gordon returned home and quickly left again to attend Sergeant Majors Academy, the final leadership course for enlisted soldiers. Once completed, Gordon will attain the rank.
Gordon began is military career to help pay for college. After thee years in the Army, he was ready to hang up his uniform and hit the books. Then he talked to an in-service recruiter who told him more college benefits were available. After six years with an additional year for schooling, Gordon stayed on to reach 10 years.
"Once you hit 10 years, you might as well do 20. I'm at 29 and I'm playing it by ear. I'll stay in as long as they'll have me," he said. "I've had three knee surgeries and I'm not a young man anymore. They don't let you stay if you make the physical requirements. I want to stay as long as I enjoy it and am actively producing. I don't want a desk job. So I'm playing it by ear."
Gordon's wife of 22 years, Ellen (Odenweller), is pleased to have her husband back. During the year he was gone, she ran the couple's business, JP Drainage Solutions, and kept up with household maintenance and repairs. She did have help from Gordon's brothers, Nick and Joe.

Softball splits games at the Jacksonville Tournament
Related Links
The Jacksonville University softball team split its games with Stony Brook and No. 16 Louisville Saturday at home in the Jacksonville Tournament.
Senior Sarah Simon and sophomore Ashley Simon each homered for the second straight day to help the Dolphins (6-3) defeat the Seawolves (1-3), 9-1, for the second straight day. The Cardinals (7-2) handed JU a 9-0 loss in the night cap.
"This was a bittersweet day for us," JU head coach Ali Higgs said. "We had a great effort in the first game, but couldn't finish plays in the second game. Overall, tomorrow is a new day and we look forward to ending the weekend on a high note.
Freshman Taylor Rossman (1-2) earned her first collegiate win in game one after fanning six batters and allowing a run on seven hits in seven innings. Senior Dale Tillman (1-1) allowed six runs, four earned, on eight hits and two strikeouts in 5.1 innings to take the Louisville loss.
Offensively, junior Jacey Warner had four total hits between the two games to lead JU. Warner also matched Sarah Simon and freshman Sable Lee (3-for-4) with two RBI against Stony Brook.
Against the Seawolves, Brown led off the game with a walk, while Warner followed with a single. After a strikeout, Simon hit a double to right field to score Brown for the 1-0 lead. Warner scored in the next at-bat on single by junior Karson Tuck.
The Seawolves tied the game at one in the bottom of the inning as Nicole Hagerty legged out a two-out infield single to plate Shayla Giosia.
Sarah Simon gave the Dolphins the lead again with a home run to right field to start the third inning for a 2-1 advantage. Ashley Simon made it 3-1 in the fifth inning on a leadoff homer to left field.
After a leadoff double in the second inning, Rossman scattered only two hits through the next four innings. She allowed consecutive two-out singles in the seventh, but struck out Gina Bianculli to end the game and wrap her first win.
Allison Cukrov (0-2) took the Stony Brook loss after allowing nine runs, eight earned, on 13 hits in 6.2 innings.
Against Louisville, Tillman got two quick outs in the first inning before allowing a single to Alicja Wolny and Tanner Fowler. An error in the next at-bat scored both runners for the 2-0 advantage.
Like against Stony Brook, Brown started the JU first inning with a walk and Warner had a single to left field. A ground out moved them both into scoring position, but Cardinals starter and eventual winning pitcher Caralisa Connell got two more outs to leave them stranded.
The Cardinals extended their lead to 3-0 in the third inning on two-out homer by Wolny.
Ashley Simon and junior Codi Kelly reached with one out in the fourth inning, but Connell struck out the next two JU hitters to quash the threat. Louisville scored three runs each in the sixth and seventh innings, while retiring the eight of the final nine hitters to earn the win.
Connell (4-1) struck out six and scattered three hits for the complete-game shutout.
In earlier action, Bethune-Cookman downed Ohio State, 4-3, before suffering a 2-1 loss to Stony Brook. Ohio State beat Louisville, 1-0, in eight innings to avenge its loss to Bethune-Cookman.
The Dolphins wrap the tournament Sunday against in-state rival Bethune-Cookman at 1:30 p.m. Stony Brook plays Louisville and Ohio State in consecutive games starting at 9 a.m.

Contact: Richard Kersbergen, (207) 342-5971; Jen O'Leary (207) 581-3106
ORONO, Maine–A team headed by Rick Kersbergen, University of Maine Cooperative Extension professor, has received the Northeast Extension Directors' Award of Excellence 2006 for "Building an Organic Dairy Research and Extension Program." The award was presented during a recognition dinner last month in Washington, DC.
Kersbergen presented the results of the program to the Northeast Extension regional leadership and carried home citations for team members Mia Morrison, dairy farmer and executive director of Maine Organic Milk Producers (MOMP); Timothy Griffin, agronomist at USDA/ARS New England Plant Soil and Water Lab; and Chris Reberg-Horton, organic cropping specialist at North Carolina State University, as well as a check for $1,000 to support future related programming in Maine.
Maine has the highest percentage (20%) of organic dairy farms in the nation, thanks in no small part to the tireless efforts of Kersbergen and his team. Kersbergen is leading efforts to research alternative cropping systems to feed organic herds, expand grain production and usage on organic dairies in Maine and Vermont, and reduce dependence on grain brought in from the Midwest and Canada. His three-year alternative forage project has resulted in double cropping systems that produce quality forage with significantly reduced weed pressure.

Born to Colombian immigrants, David Caicedo grew up in a working class, Brooklyn neighborhood. At best, he describes it as "politically apathetic." It wasn't until the summer after his freshman year of college, during Eliot Spitzer's 2006 run for governor of New York, that Caicedo became engaged in politics at all—and that was only at his sister's urging.
When Caicedo headed to the polls on primary day in his native state this past June, he was greeted by an empty polling location at 4 p.m. A look at the voter roll was even more depressing: he was only the fifth person in his precinct to vote all day.
"My neighborhood wasn't even canvassed; there wasn't even a sign—a single sign up—where I live. I consider myself to be on that prime voters list in the VAN," says Caicedo, referring to the Voter Activation Network—the voter database housed by Democratic state parties across the country. "I know about the VAN; I know they're using it. But for some reason my neighborhood wasn't touched and that bothers me."
Six years after his first exposure to the campaign world, the 25-year-old now can't get enough of the rush—hopping from one race to the next.
But he's searching for the skills to help effectively spread that passion in his own neighborhood and beyond. That's how he ended up in College Park, Md. attending a grassroots training event titled "Raise Your Voice." Organized by Democratic GAIN and the Atlas Project, the trainings are part of a new coordinated effort by liberal groups to bolster the left's pool of available campaign talent and to train them well. The goal is to build a more national network of qualified young organizers—people like Caicedo—that campaigns and liberal organizations can draw on.
One of the operatives at the center of the new push is GAIN's Executive Director Ashley Spillane, who has helped make the Atlas Project a household name for consultants and progressive organizations across the country.
Currently, Spillane is pulling double duty, serving as executive director of both groups. The goal for GAIN is to shift from a professional membership organization to one where the prime mission is professional development.
"We're trying to make sure people are aware of the opportunities in their own communities," Spillane says of young staffers and operatives. "The next career step doesn't have to be in D.C. or as a political consultant."
On the agenda for the training in College Park: three days of sessions on field organizing and fundraising, workshops on communications and a primer on the fundamentals of opposition research. The trainers included Marlon Marshall of Obama for America, John Hagner, field director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and prominent Democratic consultants, including the New Media Firm's Will Robinson and opposition research guru Mike Gehrke.
The target group for the July training: recent college graduates looking to embark on a new career in politics, particularly young minorities. For a day and half, participants were exposed to four tracks and then spent the final day and a half focused on one specific area.
The DSCC's Hagner took the lead on Organizing 101. Trainees practiced GOTV pitches and talked about what drew them to political organizing—good stories, Hagner notes, are key when it comes to connecting with voters and asking for their time and money.
"What organizers do is they take resources and people and turn them into power," Hagner explained. "Some people begin volunteering because of the candidate, and they keep volunteering because of the organizer."
As part of the training process, GAIN draws on its relationships with other Democratic organizations that are searching for new hires. Spillane's eventual hope is that the programs become a way for aspiring organizers to become VAN or Catalist-certifed.
One condition of participation in Raise Your Voice was that all applicants be available and ready to work once the program ended. On the final day, trainees were set loose on a career fair featuring 18 Democratic organizations, including the SEIU, American Federation of Teachers, United Auto Workers, United Steelworkers and MoveOn.org. AFSCME ended up scheduling nine follow-up interviews for its "Political Apprentice" program, which teaches young, political talent the ins and outs of labor organizing.

BBC presenter admits benefit fraud
BBC Watchdog presenter Dan Penteado has admitted £24,000 benefits fraud.
Kerry O'Neill, prosecuting, said the offences went back to 2007 when Penteado filled out his first claim form and failed to declare he had another bank account.
The court heard that Penteado repeated the fraud up to 2011.
In that time he failed to tell Bournemouth Borough Council he had been paid more than £56,000 for his work on Rogue Traders from 2008 to 2011.
Miss O'Neill said. "He failed to notify the borough council of the money coming in."
No mitigation was put put forward by his solicitor, Terrence Scanlan, at the hearing.
The Portuguese-born presenter, who was wearing a white shirt, black tie, black trousers and a black jumper and carrying a black biker jacket, left court without comment.
He started working with Mr Allwright in 2001.

IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is the delivery of television over the Internet instead of via traditional TV formats. Over the Fall 2013 school year, Tulane Technology Services will continue its IPTV pilot to the residence halls. Cox Communications is Tulane's partner in this IPTV pilot.
IPTV delivers a cable television-like lineup to the users' desktop (Mac and Windows) and mobile devices (iOS now, Android to come). Eventually, your gaming devices (Playstation, X-Box , etc.) will be IPTV capable, too. The Tulane IPTV service is intended for on-campus residents and is only available over the Tulane network - you won't be able to connect from off-campus.
Desktop or laptop: Download and install the IPTV app to get started. Remember, the app won't work unless you are Tulane uptown campus resident.
Download IPTV client for PC
Download IPTV client for Mac
If you already have an earlier version of the Tulane/Cox IPTV desktop app loaded on your computer, you must uninstall before installing a new version.
iPad or iPhone: With your iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iTouch) visit the Apple AppStore and search for "Cox TV Connect" and download the free app. Once loaded, launch the app and configure:
Who gets to watch IPTV?
IPTV is available to all students living in the residence halls on the Tulane uptown campus.
What equipment do I need to watch IPTV on my desktop?
The IPTV desktop app is available for Mac and PC. The application will operate under Mac OS X 1.6 and higher, and current versions of Windows (XP, Vista, Win7, Win8). Best results when using the latest hardware; the minimum and recommended requirements are:
PC minimum specs
PC recommended specs
Mac minimum specs
Mac recommended specs
Can I watch IPTV with a smartphone or tablet?
Yes you can! There is an IPTV app for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad and iTouch) that can be downloaded from the AppStore - search for "Cox TV Connect." Cox Communications, Tulane IPTV partner, is planning to release an android IPTV app this fall.
WIll I be able to watch the local broadcast channels with IPTV?
The local broadcast channels have not been included in this stage of the IPTV pilot. These channels will be added to the channel lineup at a later date.
Why isn't my favorite cable TV channel on the IPTV lineup?
IPTV is new technology and the television networks are still deciding how they want to license their content. Tulane's IPTV partner, Cox Communication, is actively negotiating with the various network providers to bring you the programming you most want to see. Expect more additions to the channel lineup as new deals are struck.
What are my IPTV username and password?
When you launch the IPTV app you will be asked to enter your username and password - use your Tulane email address and password.
Can I watch IPTV on my television?
If you can connect a computer to your TV, then yes you can. If IPTV is fully adopted at Tulane, then expect to see future developments such as IPTV app's for game consoles (XBox, Playstation) and additional mobile devices.
I'm in a residence hall with access to IPTV but the application says I'm not - why?
To confirm whether you are included in the IPTV group, send your name, Tulane username, and the name of the residence hall you live in to firstname.lastname@example.com
What is IPTV going to cost me?
There will be no extra charge for IPTV. Just like the existing campus cable TV system, the cost to operate IPTV is built in to your residence hall contract.
Why does it take so long to change channels?
As with all digital television systems, there is a lag between the time you choose a channel and when the image is displayed as the new channel data is requested from the server and then buffered for playback. Lag time is increased on a slow network connection.
Will IPTV replace the TUCAN cable TV network currently in all the residence halls?
If the IPTV pilot proves to be successful, then yes - it will eventually replace the campus traditional cable TV network.
Didn't answer your question? Write to firstname.lastname@example.com
The channel lineup for the Tulane IPTV pilot is continuously updated as new agreements are reached. Check the lineup often to see what's been added.
Do you have questions or comments about the Tulane IPTV pilot? Tell us now! Write to firstname.lastname@example.com
IPTV is simple to use. Once you've downloaded and installed the app, simply launch and choose a program from the channel guide. Use the channel guide arrows to move through the channels. Use the control bar to resize, fill the screen, mute, or raise and lower audio.
The image freezes, the audio stutters, or the image resolution is poor.
The IPTV system will run over the wireless network but the best results often come from a wired connection. If you are in an area with poor or congested wireless connectivity, attach your computer to the network with an Ethernet cable and try again.
The audio still stutters and the application quits without warning sometimes.
The IPTV app is very processor intensive and can be affected by other apps you are running simultaneously. Shut down some of your other apps and relaunch IPTV.
The IPTV app won't launch and gives me an error that says I'm not on the Tulane network.
Check to make sure that you are connected to the Tulane network, with a physical Ethernet cable or over the wireless network.
I just loaded a new version of the IPTV app and now it doesn't work.
You must first UNINSTALL the IPTV app before installing a new version.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- One of the country's largest youth martial arts tournaments is being held in Bloomington this weekend.
Game Time Gym II is hosting the American Taekawando Association regionals.
Over a thousand competitors are scheduled to hit the mat, some traveling from as far away as Florida and Nevada.
Tournament host Corey Coffrin says the people who take up the martial art of Taekwando do so for many different reasons.
"Parents like to get their children involved because they want to increase self-discipline and self-confidence and to build the children's self-esteem," explained Coffrin. "Adults get involved for various other reasons, it might be self-defense, it might be physical fitness."
Coffrin attributes some of the increasing popularity of Taekwando to the exposure it receives as an Olympic sport.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Gov. Tom Corbett says he doesn't think it's a good idea to expand Pennsylvania's Medicaid program under the federal health care law unless Washington gives his administration more flexibility to manage it.
Corbett said Tuesday in the text of his budget speech that the expansion will be financially unsustainable for Pennsylvania taxpayers without serious changes. He says that, as a result, he can't "recommend" what he calls a dramatic Medicaid expansion.
He also says the federal government must give a clear answer about what the expansion would cost taxpayers, and he says it shouldn't stop sending millions of dollars to Pennsylvania hospitals as leverage.
Democrats and health-care advocates say it'll save the state tax money it's already spending and provide a big boost to Pennsylvania's health care sector.

A visit to the woods is almost guaranteed to satisfy anyone interested in spotting wildlife. From large mammals to the elusive red squirrel,all manner of birds, and of course amazing trees and flowers, woods are the perfect place to start an outdoor adventure.
Estuaries are often havens for wildlife, especially birds - the perfect destination for naturalists. Relaxing places in which you can enjoy a walk accompanied by the spectacular sights and sounds of nature.
Hills and mountains
If you long for adventure, dramatic scenery, or just to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, why not escape to the hills? We care for some amazing places for walking and climbing, including areas of Snowdonia, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Moors.
Whether you're a surfer, enthusiastic sandcastle maker, sunbather or someone who wants to get away from it all, our beaches are the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life all year round.
Dark skies
The big, open skies of the countryside let you see thousands of stars sparkling at night. Enjoy star gazing at our suggested spots, and download our Dark Skies walking guides for details of all the key constellations to be seen.
Rivers & lakes
Rivers and lakes have helped to create some of Britain's most iconic and breathtaking scenery. They offer great wildlife watching potential, but are also amazing playgrounds for those who enjoy a spot of watersports. We welcome canoeing, windsurfing and sailing on many of the rivers and lakes that we care for.
Grassy meadows are a great place to pause in, to enjoy a picnic and the benefits that wide open space can give you. They're also important habitats for lots of species including butterflies and moths and of course wild flowers and herbs.

Telegraph Ave is undeniably the throbbing heart of studentville in Berkeley, pumping out a sidewalk-flow of students and shoppers, vagrants and vendors, brisk walkers and sluggish strollers, those trying to squeeze their way out and those who never seem to leave.
'Cal' is one of the country's top universities and home to 35,000 diverse, politically conscious students. The Visitor Services Center has info and leads free campus tours (reservations required). Cal's landmark is the 1914 Sather Tower (also called the Campanile), with elevator rides ($2) to the top.
Just east of Telegraph Ave, between Haste St and Dwight Way, is the site of People's Park, a marker in local history as a political battleground between residents and city government in the late '60s. The park has since served mostly as an unofficial residence for Berkeley's homeless.
The Bancroft Library houses, among other gems, a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio and the records of the Donner Party. Its small public exhibits of historical California include the surprisingly small gold nugget that sparked the 1849 Gold Rush.
Shopping Strips offers everything for the urban hippie, from handmade sidewalk-vendor jewelry to head-shop paraphernalia. Most appealing are, irrefutably, its terrific book and music stores. Another strip of shops is along College Ave in the Elmwood District. On 4th St, north of University Ave, you'll find upscale clothing, kitchen supply, book and gift stores.
The Campanile , officially named Sather Tower, was modeled on St Mark's Basilica in Venice. The 328ft spire offers knockout views of the Bay Area, and at the top you can stare into the carillon of 61 bells, ranging from the size of a cereal bowl to that of a Volkswagen. Recitals take place daily at 7:50am, noon and 6pm, with a longer piece performed on Sunday at 2pm.
This longtime and very popular chaat house has moved to a larger space but still gets mobbed at lunchtime by regulars that include an equal number of hungry office workers and Indian families. Try a cholle (spicy garbanzo curry) or one of the many filling dosas (savory crepes) from the weekend menu. It's on the corner of Channing Way, one block east of the waterfront.
A campus highlight with 11 galleries showcasing a wide range of works, from ancient Chinese to cutting-edge contempor-ary. Across the street, its world-renowned Pacific Film Archive screens little-known independent and avant-garde films. Both are scheduled to move to a new Oxford St location by 2014.
A great find in the hills is the UC Botanical Garden, in Strawberry Canyon, below the Hall of Science. With 34 acres and more than 13,000 species of plants, the garden is one of the most varied collections in the USA. It can be reached via the Bear Transit shuttle H line.
Smack in downtown, this is an ideal spot to start an evening. While the California fare is solidly good, it's not particularly innovative, but the bar makes great cocktails and the tasty appetizers appeal to peckish eaters who don't want to fill up before a performance.
In Kroeber Hall, the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology showcases the diversity of human cultures from around the world, with artifacts from ancient Peru, Egypt and Africa, among others. There's also a large collection highlighting native California cultures.

"Hi Mike I need your help," the email began. "I came across the article again you wrote in 2009. I don't know if it was fate or just coincidence."
Margie Hicks' request seemed simple enough: Could I help her obtain her late brother's jersey from the Philadelphia Eagles? Blenda Gay wore No. 68 during the two seasons he lined up at defensive end for the club.
Having that jersey could bring a little peace to Margie's 80-year-old mother, Evelyn. "My brother was my mother's first born and she has not only been through the loss of a child, but a grandchild and so many unanswered questions," Margie explained.
In December 1976, Gay was asleep in his bed when his wife, Roxanne, slit his throat. Blenda Gay crawled to the phone and called police for help, telling the dispatcher his wife had stabbed him. He was pronounced dead a half-hour later at John F. Kennedy Hospital.
"My sister and I will never understand how my mother forgave Roxanne (when she called my mother just months after the murder) for killing my brother," Margie wrote. In 1978, Roxanne was ruled insane and acquitted of all charges; she was admitted to Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. The couple's three-year-old daughter went to live with Roxanne's mother after the trial. For the past three decades, Evelyn and Blenda's two sisters have tried to find her.
"… we can give something back from my brother to our mother," Margie wrote, referring to the jersey. "I have two wonderful sons, one who has just graduated from Hofstra University and a 14-year-old who has a love for the Philadelphia Eagles ever since he found out he had an uncle who once played with them."
The good folks at the Eagles — Ryan Nissan, the team's football media services manager, and Julie Hirshey, the community relations manager — took my call and sent the request through the proper channels. In March, a package arrived at Evelyn's door. "On behalf of the Philadelphia Eagles, please accept this jersey and our appreciation for the time that Blenda spent with our team," the note read.
Said Margie, "When I asked (my mother) what she felt as she looked and touched the jersey, she stated, 'Yesterday is gone, and memories of Blenda are so fresh in my mind even though I am old.' My mother began to weep with joy and appreciation."

NEW YORK (WABC/CNN) - A pair of kittens shut down train services for two hours in Brooklyn Thursday.
The kittens cruised along the track to the Church Avenue subway station.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority crews spent two hours searching for the cats but only turned up mice.
The cameras caught the duo, but the workers never did.
Services along the B and Q subway lines resumed just after lunch time.

Terramar Helix Crew Tee
4-star: 1
3-star: 2
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
I was looking for a wicking, synthetic, lightweight,…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $8.25
I was looking for a wicking, synthetic, lightweight, warm-/hot-weather t-shirt that I could wear on the trail as well as on the town. Found it, to a tee. Sorry...
- Lightweight
- Wicks effectively
- Soft & Comfortable
- Good fit
- Nice colors
- Excellent value
- Well-constructed
- Gossamer thin, yet UPF 25
- Snags a bit
I already had a few synthetic tees, but they were the athletic/basketball kind. Loose, kind of thick. They served their purpose.
But as the mercury rises in the city, I wanted something I could wear around the 'hood and not look like I was going to the gym. I'm a huge fan of Sierra Trading Post, so I started perusing their site and found the Terramar Men's Helix Crew Tee.
Good-looking shirt. Buncha great colors. And unlike a lot of great deals on STP, they had plenty of colors in my size (sm.) I also noticed that it had received an average rating of 4.5 stars after 852 reviews. That was enough for me. Ooh, did I mention? $8.25.
I ordered four of them in different colors. After an initial inspection of all of them, I found them to be of uniform construction and material. The material, EC2® Qwik-Dri®, has a kind of 'rip-stop' pattern to it, and the inside actually feels like a microfleece. It's so thin, though. Almost freakishly, especially for how soft it feels. The seam that holds the front and back together is offset to avoid chafing on the shoulders, especially with a pack. The colors are quite vivid. One will likely be a running/hiking shirt, as it's quite fluorescent green. Like, crossing guard vest green. The other three; a deep red, a moss green, and a cornflower blue; are striking but not garish.
I tried one on. I'm thin, (5'8", 140 lbs,) and the shirt fit close, but not hugging. The sleeves are a tad bit longer than I'm used to in such a fit, coming to just above my elbow. It's plenty long enough to tuck in, get your activity on, and be assure it remains tucked.
When the chance came, and quickly it did, I went on a field test: Upper 80's, slight breeze, partly cloudy, high humidity -- perfect. There are a bunch of markets about half a mile from me. Heck, I like beer. I don't have any. So, I grab my pack and head for the place. Onto the street. Yeah; hot, muggy. I humped it to get a sweat on. After about a quarter mile walking in full sun, I got a sheen. I crossed the street and the most pleasant thing happened. I walked under a construction awning, and there was a bit of a breeze. I actually felt the shirt cooling. I was very impressed.
I got to the market and headed for the refrigerated shelves to get my bev. I almost froze to death. It was freaky. I liked it.
Not that it's much of a load, but beer ain't light. Add a half gallon of cranberry cocktail, and that's an average day pack, right? As I walked with the pack, the shirt remained comfortable. I didn't feel any bunching or excessive rubbing. I could even feel the ventilation of the pack on the shirt. Nice.
My fiance was home when I got back. She was wearing the blue one. Looked great on her. Now, we have four of these great tees.
One downside that I can see, though. It can snag and get little runs. Trim your fingernails, stay away from tree bark. I know, I know. But it's why I gave it only four stars. She and I have been wearing them (almost exclusively, they're that comfy,) for the past week, washed them once, tossed them around the room, and they seem to be no worse for the wear. Again, sorry.
I highly recommend buy a bunch of these great t-shirts while you can. I did.
Nice! Comfy and flexible. Not terribly breathable,…
Source: bought it new
Comfy and flexible. Not terribly breathable, but I can deal. So far so good. Works as expected. Nothing noteworthy.
Straightforward performance shirt. This shirt is inexpensive…
Source: bought it new
Straightforward performance shirt.
- Quality for price
- Not wool
This shirt is inexpensive but pretty good quality. It will give you the wicking you so desperately desire and also is pretty good in the odor department.
I was surprised with the comfort as well. While not cotton/wool, it is really one of the more comfortable synthetics I own.

Central Athens Apartments or Condos(129)

Recent Central Athens Reviews
Absolutely the best we stayed in while in Europe!
We were in Europe (Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece) for 60 days. We stayed in over 10 different apartments during that time. From the minute we booked the apartment to the time we left, Vanna was always available and more than willing to help. We talked on the phone for about an hour after I booked and I could tell Vanna had a true concern for her clients needs. The apartment was very comfortable and the location was great for seeing Athens. Unlike many apartments, Vanna had the necessities that were needed in the kitchen and bathroom. This made our stay much more enjoyable. There was a market less than 100 yards away and many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Vanna went above and beyond in every aspect. We would highly recommend Vanna's to anyone visiting Athens.
An amazing property with an indescribable view!
For me, there are two components that make up the overall impression of a stay: the quality of the lodgings themselves, and the quality of the service received. With regard to this Athens flat, I can honestly say that five stars are not enough. Allow me to review chronologically. To start off, Nikos provided me with information on my various options of getting to the flat from the airport- welcome info for someone on their first visit to Athens. Better yet, he offered to make arrangements for a car service (if I wanted- no pressure), which made for a stress-free arrival for four road-ugly travelers. Even though we got in somewhat late, Nikos met us at the flat personally, gave us a warm welcome and a very detailed tour, patiently explaining all the flat's myriad features. He also provides a very handy map of the area, with recommendations for good places to eat. Suffice it to say: Nikos is an exceptionally good host. And now the flat. It is, in short, amazing. It was obviously very recently built or remodeled, as everything is completely new. The decor is tastefully modern, and it features every convenience you could conceivably need. It's really quite spacious- Me, my wife and two 18 year-old boys were all comfortably spread out amongst all the bedrooms (and the lads had their own shared bathroom, which anyone who's ever lived with a teenaged boy can attest is a huge bonus). The views from the various balconies were breathtaking, but even they paled in comparison to the view from the rooftop patio. Sipping wine while watching the sunset over Athens, the Acropolis all lit up in the foreground and the Mediterranean Sea stretching out to the horizon is...magical, really. The flat is well-located, with many shops both large and small within, technically, walking distance. I say "technically" because the walk is almost straight up. Seriously. The flat is at the top of a mini Mount Olympus. Like, you can toss thunderbolts from the rooftop. But the good news for lazy people like me: there are always dozens of taxis at the base of the hill, and a ride back only costs around €3 with generous tip. I really can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you, Nikos!!
Athens Vacation
The apartment was perfect for a family vacation. Unlike a hotel, the apt provided a private place for us to visit as a group but let us maintain separate sleeping areas (one bedroom and one pull out sleeper in the living room) The apt was completely furnished and the washing machine was very helpful as we're traveling light for an extended period. The metro was very close, the neighborhood was safe although sometimes the traffic noise was a little loud. Included air conditioning and fan options for summer. Although not resort-luxurious, it's a perfect center of Athens headquarters for a family. Also, Adoni was helpful and responsive.

(The following review is based on the "Director's Cut" version of "The Frighteners" included on the film's recent Blu-Ray release.)
For every mainstream disappointment like "My Soul To Take," there are dozens if not hundreds of straight-to-DVD horror releases waiting to be stamped "the next cult classic." Genre fans that are malcontented with the rehashes they are forced to endure will often take up the cause to shoehorn a video release into 'cult' status, ignoring its major shortcomings simply because its original.
Maryland based Edgar Allen Poe fans have reason to rejoice as the LA based stage play "Nevermore" starring Jeffery Combs as the man himself is heading to Baltimore on January 23rd and 24th. Here's hoping we get more locations out of this little road trip!
"Hatchet" director Adam Green has a new movie in the works and now you can watch the trailer for his latest feature, "Frozen".
Continuing in the faux-documentary craze sweeping theaters lately, film maker Bing Bailey releases a teaser trailer for his upcoming Irish zombie treat, "Portrait of a Zombie".
Marvel comics love their Stephen King adaptations lately, so its no surprise to hear that they will be publishing an adaptation of King's short story "N." from "Just After Sunset". Lucky for us, their adaptations have been pretty stellar so far.
British police are on the hunt for a pervert. Video footage shows that the man repeatedly snuck behind a grocery story worker in order to sniff his butt.
Workers called out to install an emergency fence around a town fountain were caught off guard when they discovered the frozen body of their co-worker frozen in the fountain. It seems he tripped and landed in the water the night before the safety fence was installed. Doh, so close.

Woman to stand trial in assisted suicide case
Published: Aug 01 2013 07:24:38 PM EDT
A woman -- who's also a nurse -- is heading to trial for the alleged assisted suicide of her father.
All charges against Barbara Mancini were held for court during her preliminary hearing today in Schuylkill County.
Investigators say Mancini gave morphine to her father, 93-year-old Joe Yourshaw, in Pottsville in February.
Yourshaw was in hospice care, and was already dying.
Mancini told police that Yourshaw said he wanted to end his life.
Yourshaw died after a few days in the hospital.

Plot Summary: In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally successful "Twilight" series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of�only to find herself in greater peril than ever before.
Following Bella's ill-fated 18th birthday party, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and his family abandon the town of Forks, Washington, in an effort to protect her from the dangers inherent in their world. As the heartbroken Bella sleepwalks through her senior year of high school, numb and alone, she discovers Edward's image comes to her whenever she puts herself in jeopardy. Her desire to be with him at any cost leads her to take greater and greater risks.
With the help of her childhood friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), Bella refurbishes an old motorbike to carry her on her adventures. Bella's frozen heart is gradually thawed by her budding relationship with Jacob, a member of the mysterious Quileute tribe, who has a supernatural secret of his own.
When a chance encounter brings Bella face to face with a former nemesis, only the intervention of a pack of supernaturally large wolves saves her from a grisly fate, and the encounter makes it frighteningly clear that Bella is still in grave danger. In a race against the clock, Bella learns the secret of the Quileutes and Edward's true motivation for leaving her. She also faces the prospect of a potentially deadly reunion with her beloved that is a far cry from the one she'd hoped for. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made "Twilight" a worldwide phenomenon, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.

Brazelton invited to Spring Training
Left-handed reliever Franklin also headed to Royals camp
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Former first-round draft choice Dewon Brazelton and veteran left-hander Wayne Franklin are among seven non-roster players the Royals invited to Spring Training on Tuesday. The club also signed 14 other players to Minor League contracts.
Brazelton, 26, spent the entire 2006 season in the San Diego organization, going 0-2 with a 12.00 ERA in nine appearances (including two starts) for the Padres. Tampa Bay's first-round pick (third overall) in 2001, the right-handed Brazelton owns an 8-25 career record with a 6.38 ERA in 63 games in the Majors, including 43 starts.
Franklin, 32, split the 2006 season between the Atlanta Braves and Triple-A Richmond. He made 11 relief appearances for the Braves, with no record and a 7.04 ERA. Franklin was 2-3 with four saves and a 2.36 ERA in 35 games for Richmond. Franklin has a 14-16 career record in 143 Major League games for Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, the Yankees and Atlanta.
The other non-roster invitees are catcher Jared Price and Damaso Espino, right-handers Roberto Giron and Matt Wright and first baseman Graham Koonce.
Espino, 23, hit .242 with 18 RBIs in 54 games for Double-A Wichita this past season and is in his fifth year in the Kansas City organization. Price, 24, batted .158 with four homers and 12 RBIs in 42 games at Triple-A Omaha in 2006.
Wright, 24, spent the 2006 season with the Atlanta organization, splitting time between Double-A Mississippi and Richmond and compiling a 10-8 record and 3.47 ERA in 25 games. Giron, 30, went 2-5 with 13 saves and a 4.78 ERA in 47 games for Triple-A Round Rock in the Houston organization last season.
Koonce, 31, is a left-handed hitter who spent last year at Triple-A Nashville in the Milwaukee chain. He batted .256 with 19 homers, 16 doubles and 52 RBIs in 88 games. A former 60th-round draft choice (Detroit, 1993), Koonce has spent time in the Detroit, San Diego, Oakland and Pittsburgh organizations.
The other seven joining the organization after signing Minor League contracts are right-handers Leoncio Estrella, Arthur Santos and Martin Vargas; left-hander Jason Cromer; catcher Cody Clark and outfielders Adam Greenberg and Onil Joseph.

As anyone who's tried multiple diet plans will tell you, losing the pounds is easy compared to keeping them off. But why is that?
One renowned neuroscientist says the answer is right in front of our eyes. Or, more precisely, right between our ears.
"I always tell people that stapling their stomach is working on the wrong organ. It is your brain that pushes you away from the table, telling you that you've had enough. Or it is your brain that gives you permission to have the third bowl of ice cream," says Dr. Daniel Amen.
Dr. Amen has been scanning patients' brains at his Southern California clinic for two decades. What he's found is a clear link between chronic weight problems and unhealthy brains unable to conquer cravings.
"A lot of people who are overweight won't eat breakfast because they think they're going to save the calories," says Dr. Amen. "But if you don't have a balanced blood sugar, when blood sugar levels go low, blood flow to the pre-frontal cortex goes low."
Now why is that a problem?
"Your pre-frontal cortex is involved with judgment, impulse control. So if you want to get your cravings under control, it is critical to eat good food three, four, five times a day. It's also important to sleep seven or eight hours. Less than seven hours, lower blood flow to the brain, more bad decisions, and more cravings," Dr. Amen explains.
Dr. Amen's third tip is to make sure your Vitamin D levels aren't low. The main source of Vitamin D is the sun.
"Now everyone's wearing sunscreen, so two-thirds of our country is low in vitamin D," says Dr. Amen. "The same number who are overweight or obese. And when vitamin D levels go low, the hormone leptin, which helps to turn off our appetite, doesn't work right."
And the final tip?
"A probiotic [that] you can either get from yogurt or you can get by just taking a natural probiotic every day. When the bacteria in your gut is healthy, it produces certain hormones that help you feel happier, but also help get your weight under control," adds Dr. Amen.
Make these four healthy brain habits part of your daily routine, and Dr. Amen says you'll naturally shed unwanted pounds. Even better, you'll be successful in keeping them off!

Student leaders attend Catalyst Event
October 28, 2010
Student leaders from two Applied Christian Leadership classes attended the conference—42 students along with 13 faculty and staff members—helping to fill Atlanta's Gwinnett Center Arena for "The Tension is Good" Catalyst event.
In addition to hearing from the Main Event speakers that included Andy Stanley, Francis Chan, Beth Moore, T. D. Jakes, Perry Noble, Gabe Lyons, Christine Caine, Seth Godin, and Craig Groeschel. attendees also participated in Catalyst Labs led by Michael Hyatt (CEO of Thomas Nelson), Tim Elmore (Founder of Growing Leaders), Jonathan Acuff, and Alan and Debra Hirsch (Authors of a number of books, including their recent release, Untamed).
"Catalyst encouraged and challenged me. It introduced me to new ideas, informed and empowered me to both think and act about the problems facing the world today. It gave me vision and practical advice. I wish I had gone every year."
Drew Abercrombie
Resident Assistant-Woodlee/Ewing Hall
Senior English Major
Sarah Becker
Junior SGA President
Corporate Communication major
"Catalyst was a great opportunity to hear diverse and fantastic speakers, gain knowledge of organizations doing incredible things all over the world, and enter into discussion about the above with fellow Bryan College leaders. The theme—"The Tension is Good"—was extremely timely for both the inner tensions I feel returning from the Acts Project and the tensions we all experience as part of being a college student. Through the speakers—some hilarious, some challenging, some informative, some simply impassioned with scripture—I truly believe what I gleaned at Catalyst will follow me at Bryan and beyond and continue to mold me into a better leader."
"Catalyst was a full-throttle experience for body, soul, mind, and spirit! The almost overwhelming excitement of the leaders that filled the arena provided an incredible super-charge! As this was my first time attending Catalyst, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. The top quality speakers challenged, encouraged, and entertained. I came away with new perspectives in some areas of my leadership and while other areas were reinforced and validated. To be a part of thousands upon thousands of Christian leaders coming together networking for growth was thrilling."
Kim Tuttle
Resident Director
F.E. Robinson Hall
Scott W. Jones, Ph.D., D.Min.
Associate Professor of
Christian Ministry
"Catalyst 2010 was once again geared toward the emerging adult generation of Christian leaders. Catalyst 2009 was celebrating its 10th anniversary; as a result, the emphasis of last year's conference was back to its original roots: a time of encouragement and leadership primarily for the emerging adult generation of church leaders. With the focus once again upon the broader category of Christian leadership, Catalyst 2010 was much more relevant to the larger audience of Bryan students. This year's primary emphasis was upon the role of justice - even more specifically social justice—within the framework of the Gospel. Many Bryan students—along with most of the emerging adult generation—really connected with this emphasis. This emphasis coupled with a second emphasis of simple yet profound leadership development issues made Catalyst 2010 a very valuable and beneficial time for the members of the Bryan community who attended."

State funding helps preserve Adirondack retreat
RAQUETTE LAKE — Work has begun to revitalize and preserve Great Camp Sagamore, the only Adirondack Great Camp that serves as an independent nonprofit dedicated to education and tourism.
The project, expected to be completed this fall, includes repairing roof leaks and roof deterioration, repointing masonry, stone chimneys and foundations and restoring the camp's rustic bark siding.
One of the structures to be rehabilitated is the camp's open-air bowling alley, a project that includes repairing decayed log beams and rafters, repointing the stone chimney, restoring historic light fixtures and electrical service and refinishing lane flooring.
The work is funded by private donations and a $238,650 grant awarded through Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's Regional Council initiative.
"Great Camp Sagamore is one of the unique historical treasures of the North Country," Garry Douglas, president of the North Country Chamber of Commerce and co-chair of the North Country Regional Economic Development Council, said in a news release.
"Its future is an important part of our Regional Council's commitment to the Adirondacks and to tourism, and we're very pleased to be a part of securing this great landmark for generations to come."
Sagamore was an early 20th-century wilderness retreat for the wealthy Alfred G. Vanderbilt family, one of several dozen built in the Adirondacks by Gilded Age industrialists.
Still authentic to its original rustic architecture, it includes 27 wood and stone buildings in two adjacent complexes.
"With this important grant, we are able to address dire conditions at five of the structures that are viewed and used by the public each season and know that work done now will sustain tourism into the future," Great Camp Sagamore Executive Director Beverly Bridger said in the release.
A recent study highlighted the importance of tourism to the Adirondack economy. Tourism generated 13.5 percent of labor income in six core Adirondack counties, and Hamilton County — where Sagamore is located — was the most dependent on tourism, with half of its labor income generated by that industry.
Cuomo established 10 Regional Economic Development Councils across the state in 2011, with two statewide rounds of funding so far including $1.5 billion in investments for more than 1,400 projects.
That funding, the release said, is creating or helping to retain an estimated 75,000 jobs.
Great Camp Sagamore was awarded the $238,650 in the second round from the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation's Environmental Protection Fund.

Now, nobody's quite sure how this trend started out for sure, but there's a general idea on what actually happened to cause everyone to get interested so suddenly! The rumors go that there was a Royal Xweetok by the name of Lucas and that his adopted brother, Chimeratized, a Wraith Draik, decided to start up two journals together and write in them whenever they possibly could. You can guess that one thing lead to another and other pets started to eventually notice this!
Now, in most cases you'd think pets wouldn't care very much about this concept of journal writing – it's been around for a long time now, so surely it wouldn't be any different at this point in time, right? Ah, but not this time around! Lucas and Chimeratized were both fairly high in social standing – as you can guess by Lucas' royal status and Chimeratized's fairly expensive colour! Because of their social standing, you can guess that pets of all ages and groups flocked to their local Back to School store to try it out for themselves, too! It couldn't hurt, right? If Lucas and Chimeratized enjoyed it, then surely they would, too! You could say they were doing it to try and fit in with Lucas and his brother, but in the end, the results were quite stunning!
Yes, while it had started out that many were only trying it out for the sake of fitting in with the popular group, many have found that they really and truly do enjoy the sensation of writing in their newly bought journals! Oh, what a feeling it can bring some pets – a feeling of freedom and happiness in which they can write down all their thoughts and wishes! Letting out all of those emotions can be so relieving after a slightly more stressful day without much luck fishing or getting a faerie quest done. You could say, then, that Lucas and his brother did a very good thing by reintroducing the concept of journal writing to a mass number of other pets! Never shall emotions be completely ignored so long as one has their journal or notebook at their side!
Of course, this boost of popularity in writing has also boosted the sales of all notebook and journal items, making them a bit harder to buy for the poorer residents of Neopia. Luckily for those poorer of residents, there are notebooks even for them – though they don't sparkle and really aren't that fancy like some of the more expensive ones. Still, it's just paper in the end, so the outside of the pages don't have to be fancy for the notebook to be useful to pets! Beggars can't always be choosers, and in this case it doesn't really matter quite that much!
The cheapest notebook one might be able to find in the market – and it really is quite cheap for many Neopians who are low on cash – is a mere forty to one-hundred Neopoints. By name, this is the NeoQuest II Map Notebook; a flip notebook that's especially good for jotting down general information or thoughts as quickly as possible. The outside cover isn't exactly the most appealing, and this notebook certainly isn't one of the most favored among pets who have joined into this writing fad, but it works well enough for the most part. Just make sure that you hide it well, in a place your younger sibling would never look in a million years. That could get embarrassing if they found it, for it has no lock on it to keep prying eyes away!
Some of the most popular notebooks among pets these days are the Scratch-N-Sniff notepads – previously only used in school for taking notes on particular lessons. Before the fad, they were only used for taking notes and helping to freshen up a classroom that hadn't been recently cleaned. They come in two different scents; lemon and lime. Both journals are excellent for writing things down; so long as you can avoid eating all the pages that is! Both of these journals smell so delicious, there have been large number of reports of pets actually eating the pages right after writing down their thoughts! These two popular notebooks are both fairly expensive for the average pet, at a somewhat large price of twelve thousand to thirteen thousand Neopoints each! Pets who aren't particularly rich aren't recommended to buy these – they're just too expensive with their chance that a pet will give in to the temptation of eating the delicious smelling pages.
Similarly, for the particularly rich pets who can go through a hundred thousand Neopoints with ease and be no worse for wear, the Light Faerie Notepad is a best seller! The Light Faerie Notepad is quite literally one of the most expensive notebooks on the market, and there's no surprise there, either! Its cover is delicately crafted and shimmers in a way that can only be described as absolutely magical by the fortunate owners of it. Rumors have been told that Light Faeries themselves craft the notebooks, and that's why they're so rare and expensive! For a not-so-low price of nearly twenty-thousand Neopoints, the Light Faerie Notepad can be all yours to write in! With it, you can make all your friends jealous!
Rich or poor, don't miss your opportunity to get in on this journal-writing fad. Not only is it all the rage these days, but it's also a great way to improve your spelling, grammar, and overall just relieve any stress you might be feeling! Journals and notebooks of all types, sizes and preferences are waiting for you at your local Back to School Store, so don't wait around before they're all sold out! The high demand for journals is here and they're going in the blink of an eye! Most importantly of all, though – have fun while you're writing and follow your heart wherever it may lead you! Write your dreams or even an autobiography if that's what you want, just make sure you have lots of fun while you do it!
