Katha Blackwell is a columnist with the Lawrenceville Patch. This column, however, is very relevant to all parents in the wake of the Connecticut shooting.
The Connecticut shooting has awakened many parents, especially me. Most teachers and school administrators focus on ways to make sure students are present in class, safely getting to the right bus and safely making it home, but the thought of some random person walking into your school and shooting students is not something that we prepare for. Every school goes through the traditional fire drill and hurricane drill, but what about the "Stranger-Danger" drill? The president said it best that this is becoming all too familiar to our nation. So is your child's school safe?
Over the last two months, I took the time to visit a few elementary schools within Lawrenceville. My son will be attending kindergarten next year so before we make the move, I wanted to make sure that we were choosing the right school. I won't list the schools I visited, but what I will tell you is that four of the five schools I visited had no one at the door nor was anyone at the front desk. I simply walked in. No one buzzed me in, no one greeted me. I had to find the main office. Now this is not to say that those schools are in the wrong. They have an open door policy for a reason, like most schools. Parents are welcome to visit their child's school unannounced, but of course parents would normally visit the main office to obtain a visitor's pass. A person who is trying to do harm to those children could easily walk down the hallway instead of visiting the office first. This is real.
I have a few ideas on ways to keep our children safe while they are in school. My hope is that somehow these ideas can be implemented within Lawrenceville. Please note that these are ideas, there is never a guarantee that a gunman like in Newtown could have been stopped by these measures. I believe the principal and teachers of that school did their very best to protect those children. I am merely listing ideas that can help us protect our schools.
#1 Bullet Proof Glass/Bullet Proof Doors
I know this may sound a little silly, but the truth of the matter is that the gunman in Connecticut shot off the front door to the school. Had that door been bullet proof the administration may have had more time to contact the police.
#2 On-Site Police Officers
Although the Gwinnett County police will be more present within Gwinnett County schools this week, what happens on January 3? The police need to constantly be present at our schools. A school that has an onsite officer, solely there to protect the students, may appear to be less vulnerable. Most schools are filled with women and children. Where is the protection?
#3 Security Camera Watchers
It's not enough to have security cameras inside and outside of the school someone needs to be watching these cameras. I am completely impressed with schools that have security cameras, but if no one is assigned to watching those cameras then the purpose is fruitless.
#4 Volunteer Security Workers
There are a lot of stay-at-home parents as well as senior citizens who love to volunteer. A team of parents or senior citizens to volunteer once a week for 4 hours simply to walk the grounds is absolutely doable. They could all have matching shirts, some walkie-talkies, a background check and a bottle of water. In order to cover two 4-hour shifts every day, each school would at least need 10 volunteers to start something like this.
#5 Stranger-Danger Drill
There should be practice drills at each school in order to help teachers and administrators have a plan in the event that something like this happens. If a teacher is walking through the halls with her class and a danger issue is active in the front office, how will this teacher be notified that she needs to seek safety for her students? Is there a code word in place over the intercom? Does she walk with a walkie-talkie as she takes her students to specials? There needs to be a drill for this. As much as we practice for fire drills, something that rarely happens, we need to practice stranger-danger drills as well.
Now is the time to start thinking of more ways to protect our children. Not when it shows up too close to home. These ideas are just a few, but as a parent you should take the time to find out what procedures your child's school has in place to protect your child. Before we go on Christmas break and the tragedy in Connecticut is yesterday's news, ask yourself this question... Is your child's school safe?

SANDUSKY, OH (Toledo News Now) – Cedar Point made a special announcement Friday afternoon regarding what one spokesperson said, "could forever change the landscape of the park."
Friday was the 23rd annual Coaster Mania at Cedar Point. Coaster enthusiasts from across the country, and even the world, came for the rides. About 1,000 people, who boasted they have been on the rides thousands of times, attended the event. The park opened early for them at 6 a.m. and will stay open later, as well.
Officials said it is important to cater to their biggest fans and critics, which is why they made a portion of a larger announcement Friday afternoon. Officials assured a more exciting announcement will be made in 30 days.
The indoor roller coaster Disaster Transport will be coming down July 29. The ride Space Spiral will also be coming down later this summer. An auction will be held for those who would like to ride it one last time.
According to officials, the park would like to utilize more of its lakefront space.
The Sandusky Register reported back in May that the tourist attraction will be getting a new coaster. Reporters got a hold of that information through a memo sent to the board of directors. There were also reports of two current rides coming down to make space for the new coaster.

The University of Tennessee at Martin is a primary campus of the University of Tennessee system. As such, UT Martin reflects the solid traditions of excellence that have made the total university famous throughout the world. At the same time, UT Martin is able to offer students the many advantages of attending a smaller college with emphasis on the undergraduate years.

It gained junior college status in 1927, when the state legislature passed a bill stipulating that the school be operated by The University of Tennessee. UT Junior College became a senior college in 1951. Named "The University of Tennessee Martin Branch," it offered bachelor's degree programs in agriculture and home economics. In 1967, the institution officially became The University of Tennessee at Martin. The school is situated in Northwest Tennessee, about 125 miles northeast of Memphis and 150 miles northwest of Nashville, and within fifty miles of a number of the state's most famous recreation areas.

Natchez Trace State Park, Shiloh National Cemetery, and Ft. Donelson National Monument are nearby.
UT Martin offers degree programs in more than 80 specialized fields through the Schools of Agriculture and Human Environment, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Engineering, and the Division of Fine and Performing Arts.

The faculty of The University of Tennessee at Martin has adopted the following goals of the university learning experience. Each student who graduates from UT Martin with a baccalaureate degree is expected to demonstrate appropriate mastery of each of these goals.
UT Martin's land, buildings, and equipment have an estimated value of more than $103,000,000. This includes the 250-acre campus, a 680-acre adjoining farm which serves as a research unit of the UT Agricultural Experiment Station, 46 academic and support buildings, and residence facilities. Dormitory facilities for 2,415 single students as well as 256 apartments for married students and faculty members are located on the campus.

Also included are the offices of Housing, Counseling, Career Services, Boling University Center, Food Services, Bookstore, Campus Recreation, International Programs, and Health Services. These offices render student services which are considered an integral part of the educational program.
The Academic Affairs Office coordinates programs and services related to academic advising and learning assistance. Professors who are assigned as advisors provide academic counseling. In addition to the many kinds of assistance provided by academic departments and individual faculty and staff members, UT Martin offers coordinated learning support through the Student Learning Center.
Staff members in all of these offices seek to help each student realize maximum benefits from educational experiences by assisting the student in adjustment to growing responsibilities and opportunities.

Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden has left Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins with a hamstring injury. He will not return to the game, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.
McFadden was Oakland's second-leading rusher entering Sunday's game with 186 total yards. The Raiders' leading rusher is quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who missed the game while recovering from a concussion he sustained on Monday Night Football.
The Raiders currently trail the Washington Redskins, 17-14, in the second half. McFadden was Oakland's leading rusher entering the half with 29 yards on five carries. The team will turn to Rashad Jennings in his absence, but Jennings has struggled against the Redskins so far -- he has 11 carries for 28 yards, just 2.5 yards per carry.
Injury issues continue to plague McFadden's pro career. He has missed 23 games due to injury since being drafted in 2008. It remains to be seen if this hamstring injury will force him to miss any significant time.

CATEGORIES MoviesBad news for celebrity hologram enthusiasts.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the estate of Marilyn Monroe is threatening legal action over a potential performance by a hologram of the deceased icon. (The hologram phenomenon made headlines back in April after one of the late rapper Tupac Shakur performed at Coachella.)
Digicon Media -- the company that holds a copyright on "Virtual Marilyn" -- has been planning the event, however, the group recently received a cease-and-desist letter, which claimed that "Virtual Marilyn" infringed upon her estate's intellectual property. (The digital media company's legal team states that the statute of limitations has passed, since the hologram had been in development for 15 years.)
In a letter obtained by THR, Paul Bost, the attorney for Monroe's estate, says Digicon "exploited digital Marilyn for a brief time in the 1990s after which it has altogether disappeared from the cultural or commercial landscape."
The letter to Digicon goes on to say that the Monroe Estate "again demands that you agree to cease all current, if any, and future use and licensing of Virtual Marilyn...and warns that it will seriously consider all courses of action, including filing a federal lawsuit, if you do, in fact, use or license Virtual Marilyn."
You can read more about the potential legal action over on the Hollywood Reporter.

We were shocked at the size of our room. We booked an interior cabin and found it more then accommodating. We had more storage then we knew what to do with. The rooms were lovely and the service again was beyond expectations. Staff cleaned twice a day and left a different towel animal on our beds almost every night. It made my husband's day.
The food of course was incredible. I don't believe I've ever eaten so much in my life. I especially loved the endless desert selection.
The ammenities on ship were also great. We spent a lot of time by the pool and playing mini golf. For a ship with over 2000 guests and 800 staff we were shocked at how much space we had. We would never have guessed we were sharing the ship with so many people. We only ran into lines twice. Once because it was bad weather outside and there was an international food festival inside. The other time because the headliner was so popular we couldn't get a seat for the second show. All of the entertainment was great. We especially loved the live bands.
The ports were amazing. We went off on our own most of the time and were very fortunate with it. We took a lot of public transportation and although we did not speak any of the languages of any of the countries we visited we found it very easy to navigate our way to our destinations. We took a private tour in Rome with All Around Italy. It was great. Fabrizio did a phenominal job. We could not have seen the whole city without him. We HIGHLY recommend him. He was knowledgeable, professional, courtious and a pleasure to be around. We took a half day tour in Ephesus with a local company. It was okay but nothing to rave about. We had to be a little firm with him to prevent him from keeping us at the leather factory and prevent him from taking us to the carpet show.
There were a couple things we didn't like. The prices for alcohol were outragious. If cut in half I would drink more then twice as much. Also the lady behind the counter of Latte-tudes was not my favourite crew member.
In a nutshell though we had a fantastic time. It was the honeymoon of our dreams!

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
On April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day, 20 million people rallied in parks and on city streets across the United States to demonstrate their concern for the environment and show their support for clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet. Earth Day has grown to become an international movement, but the ideas and principles of Earth Day are not too big for your own back yard.
"Gardening is a huge part of people's connection to the earth, to renewal and bringing things to life," says Kathleen Rogers, president of Earth Day Network, which is based in Washington, D.C. "Gardening makes it more real — when you start to talk about protecting the earth, gardeners are Earth Day advocates," she says.
Rogers grows tomatoes in sturdy planters on her deck, and rolls the planters into her sunny kitchen at the end of the gardening season to keep the tomatoes going as long as possible in the fall. She is a bird watcher and a flower gardener, too. She grew up gardening with her mother, and learned as a child, she says, "that if you plant a seed, something will happen."
Gardening is an easy path to environmental awareness, Rogers says, and vegetable gardening is an especially delicious way to get involved. Garden-fresh tomatoes, peppers, squash, lettuce, herbs, and other crops are easy to grow, enormously satisfying, and really do not demand a lot of space.
You can always start small. If you're planting your first vegetable garden this year, plant just a few seeds, or a six-pack of transplants from a garden shop. Instantly you're a farmer and an environmentalist: when you grow your own food, the sun, the wind, and the rain are more relevant to your everyday concerns. Grow flowers, too: bees and other pollinators will be attracted to the blooms, and good pollination increases the yield of your food crop.
Turning a shovelful of compost into the soil as you plant adds organic matter and nutrients and improves both drainage and moisture retention. Mulching with compost or straw after planting keeps the soil temperature even and reduces loss of moisture through evaporation. Think of weeds as a reason to get out in your garden every day. The smart and proactive way to keep weeds in check is to stay ahead of them.
Pests are not a big problem in small gardens: pick caterpillars off the broccoli plants and hornworms off the tomato vines if you see them. The birds help you if you let them. Pesticides will kill off the birds' food, so avoid their use. In a healthy garden, nature is in balance and you shouldn't need pesticides.
When your crops start to mature, get the most out of the harvest. The more beans, tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers you pick, the more the plants will produce. It's hard to grow too much: as anyone can tell you, vegetable gardeners are ideal neighbors, and success has rewards beyond the harvest.
"We all learn, and every year I learn more and more," Rogers says. "Gardening is the jumping-off point for people if they want to care for and protect the environment, and it's fun."

I'm new to javascript...how long should a front end webdesigner spend learning it?
Hi all,
I'm a web designer that has been working in the industry for over eleven years, mostly farming out programming work to subcontractors while I focused on the design aspects of the project. Now that I am no longer self employed, I've noticed more and more jobs requiring front-end designers have strong javascript/jquery skills. I'd like to start learning javascript and jquery. My question to the forum is...
Thanks for any advice you all can provide!

You need to go in far enough to know when jQuery is needed and when it's not. Far too often, jQuery is used as a crutch and ends up doing what can be done with far less overhead and/or no javascript at all.Dave Maxwell - Manage Your Site Team Leader

Please Wait.
Looking for admissions, majors or financial aid? Visit our Admissions Site.
At the time of registration, you'll select a Core Seminar. This 3 credit class takes an interdisciplinary approach to a course-specific theme while allowing you to explore personal development, intellectual growth, and what it means to have a liberal arts education. The First-Year Seminar is designed to introduce you to the standards of academic rigor while providing you with the knowledge to make informed decisions in your transition to college. You'll compose a variety of projects that demonstrate critical inquiry and information literacy skills.
This course will challenge students with the concept of Sustainability and its implementation in their personal lives. We will start by analyzing your preparation and readiness for college success. In particular, we will consider questions like: Can you sustain a successful college career under the rigor and demands of your courses and campus life? Is the major that you are planning to pursue one that will give you the opportunities to make a difference in this world and have a meaningful life? Once those personal goals have been established, we will consider the local community, our country, our world and how it can be sustained. We will follow your interests and consider sustainability from the perspective of stewardship within our communities, nation, and world
How to Lie, Cheat, Fool and Swindle Just about Anybody
This course will examine the art of lying and the psychological, social and criminal techniques used to flimflam the unsuspecting. Students will gain insight into lying, self-deception, scams, frauds, psychics and crackpot science. We'll also get wise to con artists, hucksters and slick politicians.
Drugs and Society
Most drugs are legal; some drugs are not. The majority of us use drugs to manage illness and improve our health. Some of us use drugs in ways other than intended to achieve a variety of effects. In this seminar, we will explore the many ways that drugs influence us and the world we live in. Besides the use of drugs in health care, we will examine the impact of abuse and misuse of drugs on society in the context of sports, laws, ethics, politics, and culture. In addition, we will explore the impact of the cost and marketing of drugs on our society.
It Isn't Easy Being Green
Sing, laugh, eat, draw, dance, and drink Guaraná! In this course you will learn to appreciate and celebrate culture in a new way. First, you will assess your own cultural definition and then move on to investigate and apply cultural practices in many different areas. We will look at music, humor, food, art, dance, and drinking. You will be challenged to look at your current world view and then "draw" new conclusions. Come prepared to celebrate cultural diversity.
CATS: What they do for the health and success of a college student
How does our health impact our success as a college student, and how do we choose the types of health practices to most effectively impact this success? The seminar will explore Complementary and Alternative TherapieS (CATS), which are popular practices to enhance health, decrease stress, impact sports injuries, and decrease the effects of illness. Together we will explore topics and strategies that may include acupuncture, healing touch, massage therapy, herbal supplements, hypnosis, yoga, and more, creating an understanding of their effectiveness on one's health and overall success.
Defense Against the Dark Arts: Heroes in an Age of Myth and Media
What does it mean to be a hero? Where do our heroes come from? Are they just stories rooted in our history or, do our heroes evolve over time to reflect our contemporary world? This course will look at the figure of the "Hero" and the implications for having heroes in society. We will explore these ideas in classical mythology, comic books, film, and contemporary events, tracing the image of the hero and its social importance to our world, our ideas, and our values.
Popular Culture, Making Meaning, and You
Religion is often defined as a way of living, a set of beliefs, values, and rituals by which a community defines itself. It provides a sense of meaning and purpose. Does Popular Culture do the same thing? People define themselves on Facebook and Instagram, find their values in television shows and movies, and form communities around sports teams and musical tastes. How does Popular Culture define our identities, values, and forms of life? Students will research an aspect of popular culture and how its activities "make meaning" for us—whether it is computer games, rap music, horror movies, fashion trends, sports fandom, shopping, food, graphic novels, or something else that interests you. We'll study the effects of Popular Culture on our society and our values, and consider whether that influence is good or bad.
Game On!
The focus of this course is game literacy. Games are complex cultural and aesthetic objects. The class will incorporate lectures, discussion, readings, and writing assignments, but the primary activity of the class is critical play. You will play games in order to better understand and appreciate them. The class will cover games on and off the computer, including classic and contemporary board and card games, sports, and games on the PC, internet, and consoles. Education through games is an important way to increase professional literacy for students seeking work in art and design, business, computer science, marketing, tech, and entertainment industries.
Environmentalism: The Politics of Change
What is behind the politics of environmental debates? Scientists have produced significant research showing climate change is occurring, yet political institutions haven't acted. In this seminar, we will explore why this might be, and try to understand how we can achieve both economic growth and environmental sustainability. We will look at environmental policymaking, regulations, special interests, as well as the role of public opinion. We will end our journey together by exploring how you can make an impact by looking at how states, grassroots movements and nonprofits are promoting environmental change.
What's on Your Playlist?
Music is all around us. Movies, commercials, live performances, and easily available recordings. We use music in times of celebration and sadness. We use music to study and work-out to. What is on your play list? What types of music do you listen to, and how does it impact you as a person? This seminar will explore what is on your personal "play list" and examine if what best fits your lifestyle and challenge you to find and use music more frequently to enhance your daily existence.
The Pursuit of Happiness
What makes people happy? How do they create happiness in their lives? How does our understanding of happiness depend on religion, culture, economy, politics, and wellbeing? This seminar will explore what it means to be happy while negotiating the complex boundaries of society.
Images and Values
We're bombarded with images all the time. From advertisements in magazines, to commercials, to pop-ups on the internet, but what values are being portrayed through these images? And what sort of message do they send to us consciously and subconsciously? This seminar will explore how advertising dollars influence society, programming, teens, the economy, and more. We'll explore visual advertisements from around the world as way to explore how values and beliefs are shaped and changed by what we see.
Gut Feelings and Common Sense – Can they be Trusted?
We all rely on our gut feelings and common sense to make our way through the twists and turns of life. For the most part these serve us well, helping us to accurately assess situations and make decisions. But can gut feelings and common sense always be trusted? Do they always lead us to the truth? This course will explore these ideas in a variety of contexts, including scientific decision making, religious beliefs and conspiracy theories.

Weaver time set to take flight at Fenway
Los Angeles (71-50) at Boston (73-49), Saturday, 4:05 p.m. PT
Jered Weaver will try to draw on a positive experience from his last start against the Red Sox on Saturday, when he faces Curt Schilling and Co. at Fenway Park.Weaver outpitched Schilling on Aug. 6 at Angel Stadium, but he didn't get credit for the 4-2 win, with Schilling absorbing the loss. Weaver went six innings, giving up two earned runs on six hits, while Schilling yielded four earned runs on nine hits in six innings. It was Schilling's return to the mound after he missed almost two months with a shoulder ailment, and he was jolted by Maicer Izturis' big home run. "That's a good lineup," Weaver said of the Sox. "Any time you can hold them down and keep your team in the game, you have to feel pretty good." Weaver was superb in the series finale against Minnesota on Sunday, tossing 7 1/3 innings and allowing five hits and two earned runs. He was extremely efficient, using only 93 pitches and employing an effective breaking ball that kept the Twins off balance for much of the contest. It was Weaver's first win since July 27, encompassing a stretch when he pitched well, but he wasn't getting much offensive support. In his most recent outing, Schilling wasn't able to record a strikeout for just the fourth time in his illustrious career, but he put together an outstanding outing nonetheless in Baltimore. He allowed just five hits and one run, which was unearned. Reliever Eric Gagne surrendered a game-tying home run in the eighth inning, giving Schilling a no-decision. Schilling dominated the Angels on April 14 at Fenway Park, shutting them out across eight innings and giving up four hits and one walk. Pitching matchup
LAA: RHP Jered Weaver (8-5, 3.85 ERA)

Manny Ramirez can be troublesome for Weaver. The Red Sox slugger is a .429 hitter against Weaver, with four homers in 21 at-bats. On the Internet

Together, we have the power to end homelessness
in our community.
The Interfaith Hospitality NetworkMain Line (IHN-ML) is committed to helping homeless families in our community to achieve lasting independence. We believe that you get from the world what you give to the world. We have made the conscious decision to provide safe, temporary housing, meals and support services to homeless families in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.
Our goal is to provide the programs and services necessary to address the underlying causes of homelessness and to return our client families to a self-sustaining life.
The Interfaith Hospitality Network Main Line (IHN-ML), headquartered in Norristown, PA, unites people from different segments of our caring community to work collaboratively to alleviate the suffering of homeless families. While not a religious organization, we get the majority of our volunteers from faith-based organizations because they have a strong desire to help and a built-in volunteer base. We serve homeless families in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties.
IHN-ML brings social service agencies together with congregations of all faiths to provide basic needs regardless of a family's race or religion to help that family become self-sufficient again. IHN-ML is one of 115 affiliates in 38 states, including Family Promise in the District of Columbia. Family Promise was founded 20 years ago, when the first Interfaith Hospitality Network opened its doors and then grew into a national organization.

There's no doubt that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There's no other opportunity for me to stuff my face with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pecan pie, cranberry sauce, macaroni and cheese, and biscuits in one meal. Anything loaded with carbs and butter belongs on the table and eventually in my mouth. My family tends to have a big lunch, enjoys the beauty of feeling bloated, and then grazes on the leftovers for the rest of the day while we watch football and take necessary food coma naps. While it's the perfect recipe for holiday relaxation, there is something about Thanksgiving that isn't my favorite – days upon days of leftover turkey. While I love the classic turkey sandwich, after a couple of days, I'm ready for something that doesn't taste like Thanksgiving. This chowder is the cure.
Leftover turkey is the star in this recipe, but if you have leftover corn on the cob and baked potatoes, you can empty your Thanksgiving fridge with one swoop. The mild turkey and potatoes are given a lift with the sweet onions and corn and the spicy garlic, cumin, and cayenne. The chowder has a nice kick without being overpowering.
A word about yogurt: it's not just for breakfast smoothies. It feels weird to put plain yogurt on top of savory dishes, but I promise that it works. Not only does it work, it adds a bright, tangy component to this chowder (and many other recipes) that can't be matched. Finish that with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro, and you have a doesn't-taste-anything-like-Thanksgiving recipe that your entire family will love.
Turkey Corn Chowder
Ingredients from your kitchen:
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
½ yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
4 cups of chicken stock
2 cups of cooked turkey, shredded or diced
½ cup plain yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Ingredients to purchase:
2 ears of corn (may substitute 1 cup frozen corn)
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
In a large soup pot, sauté corn and onion in oil over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper. Add garlic. Cook an additional 2 minutes.
Add potatoes, salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Stir and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add 3 cups of chicken broth to cover potatoes. Raise heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Use a potato masher, a fork, or wooden spoon to slightly mash the cooked potatoes.
Add cooked turkey, 1 teaspoon cumin, cayenne pepper, more salt if needed, and the remaining cup of chicken stock. Simmer another 3 minutes.
Top soup with a dollop of plain yogurt and chopped cilantro.

Coleman Hooligan 3 Tent

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $58.36
This is a great tent for the money, but expect to get what you pay for. This is not a high end tent meant for long term comfort, but this is a more than adequate tent for car camping and short trips with the kids. For a cheap solution, I would definitely recommend it.
- Roomy
- Easy to set up
- Very affordable
- Kept me dry
- Great storage space
- Heavy
- Thin material
- Fiberglass poles
- Doesn't pack down small
This tent is decent for the money. It has an attractive look for sure and there is a lot of floor space and a usable vestibule for gear storage. I was able to sleep myself, my daughter and a dog with more than enough room to spare and I'm 6'2".
The rain fly is a little cumbersome to put up and put together and the tent weighs a lot so you wouldn't want to take it backpacking, however for car camping it works well. The rain fly is thin and got caught on the vestibule zipper and tore slightly as well.
All in all the tent is good for the price. It's not feature rich, there is a side pocket on each side of the interior but no over head loft. It does pitch tautly, almost too tautly at the door, which requires using more muscle than I would like to close it. I would fear that ripping in time.
It has a simple two pole design for the main body and an additional pole for the vestibule frame. The velcro attachments to the main fiberglass poles could be a pain to attach but I didn't know how to set them up until I took it down. Start at the top and work your way down when attaching the rain fly.
This is NOT a packable tent. I don't even see how someone would pack this in an internal framed backpack. It rolls up to be like 2 feet long.
It did keep me pretty warm on a sub-40 degree night in N.H. It has one vent which helped with condensation and no outside wetness got inside. It has a nice tub floor that seems resilient and rugged. Given that the main body is mostly mesh, this truly is only a 3-season tent. You would freeze in winter.
