These tights are awesome

Comments about Womens CW-X Revolution Fitted Tights:
If you're a fan of CW-X tights, you will love these! I own their Pro and Stabilyx tights. I love both, but they're for colder weather and they have a lot of seams, so you have to coat yourself with Body Glide to avoid chaffing on long runs and races. These new Revolution tights fit like the other CW-X tights, but are lighter and have almost no seams! They feel great and provide the same compression fit as other CW-X tights in a cooler, more comfortable design. These tights will be ideal for spring and fall running and racing. If you've never tried CW-X products, I encourage you to do so and this Revolution tight might be a great one to try. If you're like me, and already a fan of CW-X tights, these are a great addition to your compression tights training and racing wardrobe.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best CW-X so far
By Sunday Runner
from Portland Maine
About Me Avid Athlete
Comments about Mens CW-X Revolution Fitted Tights:
Just got this new tight last week and I must say this is the best CW-X tight so far. I have been using CW-X tights for the past three years and this design is by far the lightest they have ever made. The material is also extremely comfortable to wear and has been great for early fall runs here in New England. The support in CW-X in the knee area and hips continues to be excellent. I can't run without these things any more. They are expensive, but they really do make a difference. I highly recommend these. Great for recovery after a long run as well. Their Stabilyx Tights are also good if these are too expensive.

This is the second deluxe rug pad that I have purchased from Overstock. I am highly satisfied and will continue to purchase this item as I add area rugs to my home.
Put under a $1000 rug in our great room...lots of foot traffic with kids, etc. rug stays in place, pad is even, easy to lay down, limited shedding, etc...why pay full retail?
We bought a very large, expensive, beautiful 10x13 rug and wanted more loft and no slip. This served the purpose very well. A little bit stinky when first opened, but easily covered up and now not noticeable once under the rug.
It's a great rug pad. I needed a large (9x12) pad and didn't want to pay more for the pad than I did for the rug. This is a great deal. It has made my hemp rug much much softer and more comfortable.
Excellent rug pad; you use one side up on hard floors and the other side up on carpets. It's very durable and thick....very happy with my purchase!
This rug pad seems to be adequate and a good value for the money. The rubber backing is thick and seems to be sturdy. It had a strange odor upon opening, but that seems to have dissipated just a few days later.
Arrived neatly folded over and rolled. Very nice pad - good value.
Great value. Way better quality than the carpet pads at the big retail stores (and won't damage your wood floor!). Buy it!
It's a carpet pad that does what it is supposed to. Carpet does not move a bit. It does not give a huge lift to the carpet but it does give an okay amount of cushion. By okay, I mean not a lot of cushion, just a bit. If you are looking for lift and cushion, this isn't for you.
There is a lot of tiny granules and "dust" when we rolled this out of its packaging. If we have small children in the house, I would not keep it for worry of what they put in it. But for now, it's too much hassle to return it and I hope under the rug it will not affect our health in any way.

Pisors, Killebrew star in opening day sweep
Three double plays and big hits by Hagstrom, Hornbeck spark Lions
SAGU unveils new jerseys, campus scoreboard at noon on Saturday
Access Box Scores, Play-by-Play, Standings (below)
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- Led by a pair commanding performances by sophomore pitchers, Southwestern Assemblies of God University opened the 2014 season with two victories over Hillsdale College (Ok) at the Waxahachie Sports Complex.
Former high school teammates Jarrod Pisors (Red Oak, Tx / Red Oak HS) and Hayden Killebrew (Red Oak, Tx / Red Oak HS) tossed separate five hitters as the Lions defeated Hillsdale 3-2 and 11-0 on a sun-drenched day. The righthanders were sharp throughout and were supported by solid defensive play.
Sam Blackmon, the new Head Coach of the Purple Pride, began his career in impressive style.
The doubleheader was played on a windy, warm afternoon as temperatures were in the mid 70's.
The teams will play two more games Saturday at SAGU's campus field. It'll be the first action for the Lions with their new scoreboard. They will also introduce new jerseys to home fans.
Pisors hurled a complete game by allowing only six baserunners. He did not allow a run until the top of the last inning when the visiting Saints pushed across two runs. Only one was earned.
He struck out five and did not issue a walk.
SAGU's infield, comprised of three freshmen, turned a pair of double plays, included a 6-4-3 twin-killing to end the game. Six other batters were retired on grounders.
The Lions broke a scoreless pitcher's dual against Riley Allen with all three runs crossing the dish in the bottom of the fourth.
A flair to leftfield by Tallon Ralstin (Cortez, Colo / Cortez HS ) drove in the first run and an infield hit off the bat of Brock Schneider (Arlington, Tx / Martin HS ) delivered another.
Back to back walks, the second by Josh Terry (Daingerfield, Tx / Daingerfield HS ) forced in Ralstin with the third and eventual winning tally.
The Lions had seven hits, two apiece by Ralstin and shortstop Preston Hornbeck (McKinney, Tx / Heston JC ).
Killebrew and Brendan Martinez (Ft. Worth, Tx / Timber Creek HS ) combined for seven innings of shutout work in the nightcap.
Killebrew went the first six, yielding five hits; all singles, while striking out three. He walked three.
Martinez breezed through the seventh. He got a groundout before retiring the final batters on swinging strikeouts.
The Lions got the only runs they would need in the third.
Schneider was plunked with a pitch and scored later on a delayed double steal.
Second baseman Jonathan Santiago (Arlington, Tx / Bowie HS ), who walked, scored on a double to rightcenterfield by Eric Hagstrom (Universal City, Tx / Lubbock Chr ). His blast, into the teeth of a strong breeze, bounced to the fence.
SAGU tacked on a six spot in the fourth to put the game away. They cashed in on three singles, two errors, three walks and two wild pitches.
Infield hits by Ralstin and Collin Gifford (Dodge City, Ks / Dodge City HS ), and a single to shallow leftfield by Hagstrom sparked the rally.
Santiago poked an opposite field single to right to score Ralstin in the fifth to make it nine unanswered runs.
Speed merchant Tali Fletcher (Monahans, Tx / Monahans HS) raced to first with a well-placed grounder to second. His single preceded a base on balls by senior Nick Sheffield (Maypearl, Tx / Maypearl HS). He worked the count by fouling off a number of pitches.
Both scored on a Ralstin single to right and a deep rip by Nathan Bish (Euless, Tx / Lyon College).
SAGU totalled nine hits and benefitted by six walks. Hagstrom had two hits and drove in three runs. Ralstin also rapped two hits.
In terms of runs, three players dashed across the dish on two occasions; Santiago, Ralstin and Schneider.
But the game belonged to Killebrew. He displayed extra pop on his pitches since his freshman campaign.
Afterwards he was quick to credit the defense behind him. "It's nice to have those kind of gloves on our side," he said amongst a crowd of glad-handers.
The infield turned another double play. It occured in the fifth on a classic 6-4-3 with Bryant Threadgill (Whitewright, Tx / Whitewright HS, Dallas Christian College istian) making an incredible stretch at first.
SAGU will send two freshmen to the hill at noon on Saturday.
Six-foot-five Tucker Burt (North Richland Hls, Tx / Westlake Academy ), a right-hander, will start Game Three. Southpaw Pedro Ortiz (Lorena, Tx / Lorena HS ) gets the nod in the series ending fourth contest.
Coach Speak: Blackmon assesses Lions debut
"I thought both starting pitchers, Jared and Hayden, did a great job for us tonight," stated Coach Blackmon. "The hard work they have put in and the work (Pitching) Coach (Chris) Semprun has done really showed. It was also good to see Brendan come in and throw well."
"Defensively we played soundly all night. That has been something we have stressed and worked on since the fall, so I was very proud of our guys."
"Offensively I thought we did a did good job of squaring balls up and really did an excellent effort in approaches for the most part. A lot of different guys contributed at the plate and on the basepath," he added.
"As a staff, we were pleased with the effort and energy our guys had as a team."
The 2-0 start is the first for the Lions since the 2011 season. They have not gone 3-0 in at least a decade.
SAGU home on Thursday vs CCC
After Saturday's doubleheader the Lions are off until Thursday, February 6. They will host Central Christian College (Ks) for two games at the Waxahachie Sports Complex.
It will be the season opener for the Tigers, who went 13-39 last spring.

Occupy Wall Street Wins Converts, Flummoxes Cops on Global Day of Protest
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
They looked like a small army. Just a few short blocks from Liberty Plaza, where a four-week occupation has spawned the beginnings of a new mini-society, the opposition was gathering. Unlike Occupy Wall Street, this "rally" had no drum circles and no people's kitchen. They carried no signs and chanted no slogans. What they had were weapons, vehicles and a cohesive look. A not-so-thin blue line, punctuated by white-shirted superiors, carrying out their own occupation with no threat of eviction.
Clustered around the Church of Saint Peter, the New York City Police Department had created a staging ground for the day's actions. Six NYPD buses, the kind often used to cart mass arrestees to jail, were parked in the vicinity, along with 15 scooters, 12 police vans, two marked and several unmarked SUVs and squad cars, several flatbed trucks overflowing with metal fences, and a bus-sized command unit. More than 70 cops milled around on the street, talking, texting and listening to briefings. Just like at Liberty Plaza, there was energy in the air, but here it was a nervous kind.
The word came down not long after 11am. Something was happening at Zuccotti Park and the cops began piling into their vans and hopping on their scooters. Sirens whooped to life and lights started flashing. The police were on the move and whipped around the block to get to Broadway, only to crawl along, held up by lights, traffic and mostly each other. Outpacing them on foot, I watched the frustration on the faces of the higher ranking officers sitting in their cars. By the time they turned onto Liberty Street next to the park, a raucous group of Occupy Wall Street protesters was streaming out of Liberty Plaza.
"C'mon, c'mon!" a white-shirted commander yelled, trying to hasten his troops along, but they weren't moving fast enough. The flat-foots had been caught flat-footed and people of the park were in the lead. It would be the same story all afternoon.
The marchers, flying American flags among many others, headed up Cedar Street, away from the park, cheering and chanting, drumming and dancing. "We are the 99 percent," filled the air as the crowd snaked through the streets of lower Manhattan. Police brass were always ahead of the marchers, who stayed on the sidewalks and were flanked by cops on scooters, but it was painfully apparent the NYPD was along for the ride.
Their first stop of many throughout the day was a Chase Bank branch where the marchers made a statement, just as they have at Liberty Plaza, by staying put. "Banks got bailed out, we got sold out," the crowd sang as they held their ground.
Through a megaphone a police commander shouted, "Please keep moving in an orderly fashion, if you don't move you will be subject to arrest." But the crowd didn't listen. He tried again and again and again: eight announcements in all. But the police didn't have the numbers or the nets or maybe even the stomach for riling the highly energized crowd. When he shouted "Get off the fire hydrant," at someone perched there to shoot video, his voice cracked and I thought he was going to cry.
Someone at the head of the march announced the group was moving out and the Occupy Wall Streeters were off again. As they wound their way back toward Broadway, the police brass at the head of the march were getting exasperated. I watched a white shirt angrily shoo away a colleague in a suit as he talked on the phone. More than one commander complained that the press – newspaper reporters, video camera crews, still photographers – all clustered at the head of the march were slowing things down and causing the protest to be more disruptive.

Like a lot of rabid fans I am counting the days to the release of Prometheus on June 8th. This is Ridley Scott's—SIR Ridley's that is—highly anticipated latest movie and it looks epic. It may or may not be a prequel to his iconic film Alien---they---as in the actors, the Studio, and almost anyone associated with it are playing it pretty close to the chest. Alien was the first instalment of the Aliens quadrilogy and the movie that launched Sigourney Weaver's career, made kick butt heroines acceptable, and upped the ante for filmmakers for years to come.
Scott got his start 35 years ago working as a high powered ad-man. He then tried his hand at movies and had just finished making a feature film called The Duellist (actually pretty good) that hardly anybody saw because they were all lined up to go see another new release – Star Wars. Scott's next release was to be a retelling of Tristan and Isolde, but after he himself saw Star Wars, he is quoted as saying "this changes everything – it's time to get down to business".
6 weeks later he signed on to direct Alien—he was actually 20th Century Fox's fifth choice. With its wonderful tag line 'in space no one can hear you scream' it was a phenomenal success. The franchise had a total run of 4, with the first sequel, Aliens (directed by another developing heavy weight – James Cameron) being even slightly better than the original. Unfortunately 3 and 4 ran out of steam. Out of all his movies since, Scott says that Alien is the one that has called to him over the years as unfinished business.
He has had a hugely successful career and any movie with him at the helm is an event. Here are some of his titles which are available at CPL: Thelma and Louise; Gladiator; Kingdom of Heaven; Robin Hood; Body of Lies; American Gangster; Blade Runner.
Prometheus features an excellent cast including Michael Fassbender (X-Men First Class); Noomi Rapace (Dragon Tattoo trilogy – original Swedish version); Charlize Theron – currently having quite a resurgence in her career with another big draw having just opened – Snow White and the Huntsman (here's the trailer). Check out this excellent teen zone post from earlier; Idris Alba (Luther) and Guy Pearce (Mildred Pierce).
Next on Scott's plate – a prequel --- or maybe a sequel --- again, he is not saying, to his other cult classic—Blade Runner.
For many years when looking for a sure fire hit, film makers turned to the Bible. As a result a lot of truly classic films were born, with great casting, wonderous sets and stunning live action sequences. There were also some epic mistakes- serious miscasting and barely recognizable interpretations. Now I know you can find these perennial favourites on t.v. espcially as Easter approaches but why not watch them commercial free, and at a time of your choosing. And if you have a large screen with surround sound you're in for a treat.
Grand daddy of them all - Ben Hur. This is one of my favourite movies of all time and I would not be exaggerating if I said I have seen it 30 times (at 3 hours and 32 minutes that's a lot of Ben!). And I've had the joy of seeing it on the big screen. The sets are real- no CGI's here and the chariot race really is Chuck and Stephen Boyd tearing around the track. Still considered one of the greatest action sequences ever captured, the race took 3 months to film and used 15000 extras on the largest set ever built (see the picture- that's a set - with real people- and I can't get the whole thing to fit!). It won 11 Oscars, equaled only by Titanic and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy- and think of all the CGI in those films. It is a brilliant movie.
Spartacus- Kirk Douglas, Jean Simmons (not the lead singer of Kiss- the other Jean Simmons!). This was made the year after Ben Hur as compensation to Douglas for being turned down in favour of Heston for Ben Hur (Kirk was offered Messala in Ben Hur but did not want to play second banana). Again a cast of 1000's (10,000 plus for the battle scene). Co-produced by Douglas, he got so many great actors to appear in smaller roles by showing them each a different script that emphasized their character over the others.
The 10 Commandments- again with Charlton Heston- this time playing Moses, and Yul Bryner as Ramses. This is a movie that has so many truly epic scenes-parting of the Red Sea/erecting the giant obelisk- it is hard to count. This is also one of the most financially successful movies ever made- adjusting for inflation its North American box office revenue is around $977 million. It is grandiose. We have over 20 new copies coming shortly.
We also have a good animated offering of the Moses story. From 1998- Prince of Egypt. And while we are on animated stories there is also 2000's Joseph, King of Dreams. Also the charming Veggie Tales, which convey moral themes based on Christianity.
The Robe- Richard Burton and Jean Simmons again, in the imagined tale of the Roman centurion who comes into posession of Christ's robe after His crucifixion.
Quo Vadis- Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr and Peter Ustinov doing a wonderfully mad Nero.
The Passion of The Christ- this is Mel Gibson's bloody, violent and to my mind over the top re-telling of the crucifixion. Of course crucifixion was bloody and violent and most movies do sanitize it, but Gibson seems to relish it. I recommend it with reservations and mostly because it was so popular and controversial at the time of its release. Heads up- for authenticity Gibson has everyone speaking Latin, Aramaic and Hebrew with English sub-titles. Completly financed by Gibson (at around $30 million) it made him a fortune-best estimations are around $580,000,000.00.
Greatest Story ever Told- anyone who was anyone in 1965 seems to have been in this movie. Not the best retelling, but worth a look.
Jesus Christ Superstar---is one of the very first rock operas by the wonderful team of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. First staged on Broadway in 1971 it too was highly controversial. A musical about the crucifixion-what were they thinking? I think it works.
Jesus of Montreal- by Canadian director Denys Arcand and on Mel's must have list when stranded on a desert island.
by Moe
If you took my recommendation and saw Ben Hur at the theatres back in November when it was re released in digital, you know how amazing these epics look on the big sceen.
So try not to miss The Bridge on the River Kwai which is playing at Crowfoot and Scotia Centre on Wed Jan 11 at 7:00. Winner of 7 Academy Awards in 1957 including Best Actor- Alex Guiness, Best Director- David Lean, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Musical Score, Best Writing, and of course you couldn't win all of these and not win Best Picture.
This is on every 'best list' you can imagine (including my own) and has been for over 50 years. It is a magnificent movie- self sacrifice, madness, obsession, heroism. Oh man I love this movie and although I have seen it 40 plus times (that's another list of mine it is on- movies I have seen more than 25 times!) I have not yet seen it on the big screen. I know what I am doing on Wed the 11th.
Moe is on holidays right now, so she's asked a few other Movie Maniacs to step in and write some guest blogs for her while she's away. I was totally fine with this prospect until she revealed exactly where it was that she'll be vacationing.
Hint: It's New Zealand.
Now! This is a pretty excellent destination to choose at any given time, but it just so happens to be the BEST destination at THIS given time.
Don't know what I'm talking about? Clearly you're not as big of a fan-girl as I am (neener neener)...
The reason why New Zealand is the place for any Movie Maniac to be right now is because Peter Jackson is currently working on the second leg of his new Tolkien epic, "The Hobbit" in that glorious country as I type.
Now what you have to understand, is that we're still AGES away from the release of this movie. The first phase of it JUST got into post-production, and they've still got loads of editing and tweaking and awesome-ifying to do yet, and everything else is in pre-production. This is ALSO only the first half of the journey -- they're splitting the novel into two films, like any smart adapter does these days.
Which means, my friends, that they are filming RIGHT NOW, in all their dwarvish make-up glory, in beautiful locations all across the land of the Kiwis. And I couldn't be more jealous of Moe for getting to be there.
If the set production vlogs are anything to go by (which I'm hoping they are, even though Jackson is not releasing them NEARLY as often as he should be...) this second leg of shooting will carry on well into December. And even though the sites and sets are a very closely guarded secret, this makes me hopeful that Moe might just stumble across a hobbit or an elf or a dragon here and there. She has told me they love drivng down back roads just to see where they come out, so with a little luck... At any rate, I've told her it's probably best to bring her lady-dwarf costume (beard and all) and some speedy running shoes for dodging the security guards.
As a tribute to the epicness that is Jackson's work in New Zealand, I've decided to include a couple of OTHER movies shot in this locale. Click on the titles for links to the Calgary Public Library catalogue!
Whale Rider, possibly the biggest film to actually focus on Kiwi culture and life, revolves around a young Maori girl and her search to fulfill her destiny. Beautifully filmed, beautifully acted, this one was up for an Oscar and 28 other awards. It won most of them.
King Kong and Lovely Bones (both directed by Jackson) are not set in NZ, but do use its gorgeous locations as backdrops. Both are written by Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, two collaborators of Jackson's on LOTR. Both also have all-star casts, and one of them has Jack Black. What more can I say?
If you're into horror, 30 Days of Night (originally a graphic novel series) is a terrifying, and R-rated, Vampire flick... I promise these blood-suckers don't sparkle. Almost half of the cast is either Kiwi or Aussie, but you can't tell, because they're all pretending to be from Alaska.
I swear, New Zealand must have the most diverse climates and landscapes of any country... where else could pass for Pennsylvania, Alaska, Middle Earth... or Pandora?
That's right, James Cameron's epic Avatar was shot there too. Wanna know why? Check out this article from "Film New Zealand".
Other epic NZ-based movies include The Chronicles of Narnia,The Bridge to Terabithia (starring The Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson), and Spielberg's highly anticapted Tintin movie, out this Christmas.

Photronics Announces Preliminary Financial Results For The Third Quarter Of Fiscal 2012
Photronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PLAB), a worldwide leader in supplying innovative imaging technology solutions for the global electronics industry, announced preliminary financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2012.
Photronics expects revenues for the third quarter ended July 29, 2012, will be approximately $116 million compared with previous guidance of $118 million to $123 million. Photronics expects that earnings per diluted share for the third fiscal quarter will be in the range of $0.14 to $0.16 compared with previous guidance in the range of $0.14 to $0.18. Photronics plans to provide guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 during its regularly scheduled third-quarter financial results conference call on August 15, 2012.
Third quarter revenue is expected to be lower than previously anticipated due to softening demand during the last few weeks of July for high-end integrated circuit (IC) and flat panel display (FPD) photomasks.
"The general worldwide softness in demand for semiconductors and displays began to affect photomask orders especially high-end IC, principally memory, during the past few weeks," stated Constantine ("Deno") Macricostas, Photronics' chairman and chief executive officer."Longer term, we believe that trends in devices, including mobile smart phones, tablets and emerging new flat panel formats, will result in strong photomask demand. We are well positioned with our lean and flexible business model and high-end technology to maintain good margins and respond quickly as the market strengthens again," concluded Macricostas. Photronics will announce its fiscal third quarter 2012 financial results at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday August 14, 2012 and host a conference call with investors to discuss these results at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, August 15, 2012. The live dial-in number is (408) 774-4601. The call can also be accessed by logging onto Photronics' web site at www.photronics.com. The call will be archived for instant replay access until the Company reports its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter results. Photronics is a leading worldwide manufacturer of photomasks. Photomasks are high precision quartz plates that contain microscopic images of electronic circuits. A key element in the manufacture of semiconductors and flat panel displays, photomasks are used to transfer circuit patterns onto semiconductor wafers and flat panel substrates during the fabrication of integrated circuits, a variety of flat panel displays and, to a lesser extent, other types of electrical and optical components. They are produced in accordance with product designs provided by customers at strategically located manufacturing facilities in Asia, Europe, and North America. Additional information on the Company can be accessed at www.photronics.com.

Famous Rescue Dogs
Discover which cute canines lived true rags-to-riches tails, er, tales
By Marlisse Cepeda
Aleister from Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Even with A-listers like Steve Carell and Keira Knightley in June 2012's Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, rescued pooch Aleister still stole the spotlight. The terrier mix played Sorry, who helped Steve Carell's character, Dodge, find his life's purpose once again. Alesiter's own life changed when he was rescued from a shelter in California in 2008. Previously starring in commercials, the flick marked Aleister's big-screen debut. As a prominent character in the movie, three other dogs were needed as stunt doubles and stand-ins. They were all shelter pups, too.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Security: Welcome to 2004
Long before the horror of 9/11, camp directors have been addressing issues of security since the inception of organized camping.
The tragedy of 9/11 simply shook us into reviewing, updating and improving upon those plans and procedures which had been in effect for generations.
Every year, following the guidelines established by the American Camping Association (ACA) and implementing details unique to each facility, camp directors review and train staff in the areas of security, emergency planning, emergency prevention and response, and so on.
At Pocono Ridge, we train staff each year in the areas of lifesaving, CPR, and basic First Aid. We certify people for our high/low ropes courses, our archery/riflery programs and our waterfront/water-ski teams.
We hire security guards to patrol our facilities and safeguard our children, even if sometimes that means safeguarding children from themselves and other children.
In recent years we have joined many camps by installing security gates. All this to prevent accidents and to be prepared in the event an emergency does arise.
Padding Security
Every four years, camps who choose to be accredited by the ACA allow their colleagues (who are, in a sense, their competitors) to perform an elaborate series of checks and balances, tests as it were, covering all aspects of their camp program as related to security, emergency planning and preparation, safety for their children, their facility and the communities it serves, the list goes on…
And as technology grows and adapts itself to the camping industry, we, as well as our campers and parents, benefit.
Well, at Pocono Ridge we're very excited about a new security system we're implementing this season called Campcast.
Though Campcast is specific to SmartPants Media, one of our vendor partners, the concept — however you choose to pursue it and with whomever you choose to use — is the key.
We feel it will provide Pocono Ridge the opportunity for all of those involved with our program to satisfy their security needs, physically, mentally and emotionally. We are so thrilled to incorporate this type of technology into our facility because it not only addresses the concerns of security, but it also helps with marketing.
Campcast is a program which allows us (camp directors/owners) to view specific areas of camp via an Internet TV station. It allows us access to remote areas of camp, entry points and property lines, from the comfort of our desk chairs, even if that chair is located at our winter office location. How? By broadcasting from various cameras to a receiving box which then stores the camera footage for up to 30 days, we can then view it in real time or at our leisure.
This same footage is downloaded and stored on SmartPants' main server for use at a later time or to archive; say for use on our camp video yearbook.
During the winter months, the video system allows us the ability to check our camp facility, reporting back to us just as if it were a staff employee, only one that has a digital movie memory.
And what really was a selling factor for us was that this same technology can allow our parents to peek into Pocono Ridge, at our will, during the summer months.
Now I know what you must be thinking, "Big Brother," right? Well my answer to that is that it all depends on your perspective and how you choose to utilize this security.
This type of system allows you — the camp director or your assignee — the convenience of watching your borders, and securing your facility both during the summer and winter seasons, and it is also capable of allowing your parents, through an independently-registered and password-protected Web site, opportunity to view camp via strategically placed cameras.
Imagine the nervous first-time parent or the former camper turned parent who wishes they could still attend camp… Now, picture the satisfaction that same parent feels when they see their child eat breakfast in the camp dining room or win a soccer game during color war.
Truth is that an Internet-integrated video system brings no more problems with it than technology of yesterday. Remember when we saw the telephone come to camp, or today's current form of necessary communication, e-mail? How about my favorite, the asked not to bring, which always stays hidden until arrival at the camp's first amusement park outing cell phone?

One of the Arab world's best known pop stars has sparked fury among Egypt's Nubians by releasing a song that refers to them as "monkeys".
Haifa Wehbe, a Lebanese singer, has since apologised for the song, saying it was written by an Egyptian songwriter and that she was unaware of the racial connotations of the lyrics.
But Nubian lawyers have called for the song to be banned and filed a complaint against with Egypt's public prosecutor.
The Lebanese singer now faces a possible lawsuit over her song "Where's Daddy", in which a child sings to her: "Where is my teddy bear and the Nubian monkey?"
The UK's Guardian newspaper quoted Adul Raouf Mohammed, a Nubian store manager, as saying the song's reference was "insulting in any culture".
"She has denigrated an entire community of people, and now some of our children are afraid to go into school because they know they will be called monkeys in the playground," the paper quoted him as saying.
Courting controversy
The row unusually brings into focus the position of the Nubians in Egyptian society.
The ethnic group, which makes up an estimated population of about two million in Egypt, is descended from one of Africa's ancient black civilisations but is often sidelined in modern Egypt.
Wehbe, conversely, has often been the focus of media attention.
Seen as one of the Middle East's leading sex symbols, the actress and singer has often earned the ire of the region's conservative religious leaders.
Her often-revealing clothes and a previous hit "Ya Ibn El Halal", translated roughly as "Hey, Good Little Muslim Boy", have provoked outrage in the past.
In 2006, the mainstream Western media also noted that she publicly supported Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader.
Wehbe's brother was killed fighting Israel during its 1980s incursion into Lebanon.

Just drink in that graphic for a moment. Let it seep into your consciousness, ferment there for a while and… react – with amusement, anger and disappointment, most likely.
No, you're not seeing things – Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is slated to be part of a six-person mixed tag team match at WrestleMania. The 23-year old Jersey Shore star got involved in the Trish Stratus v Vickie Guerrero match on Raw last night – which Vickie won with help from LayCool – after she and WWE's resident cougar got into a confrontation earlier on in the show.
Following the contest, Guerrero issued a challenge for Trish, Snooki and John Morrison vs. LayCool and Dolph Ziggler for WrestleMania XXVII on April 3 in Atlanta.
Now, we at Ringbelles can see what WWE is doing – Jersey Shore is the biggest TV show among young people at the moment, and Snooki is the show's biggest character. Hell, even I watched a couple of episodes, and she's pretty amusing. As an aside, it shows up TNA for being second best, as they pulled in J-Woww and Angelina Pivarnick, who played second fiddle to Snooki's popularity.
However, putting Snooki in the ring? At WrestleMania? And making us pay for it? Pass. For starters, the rumours circulating for the last few weeks had been that Kelly Kelly would partner Trish and Morrison in the match – which would make sense, as she is involved with all three of the opposing team – so she will apparently miss a WrestleMania payoff for a woman who will do precious little in the match. Meanwhile, let's consider how many Jersey Shore fans are going to buy WrestleMania to see her not wrestle in a match – as she should realistically run from all these trained wrestlers, and if she does fire up and go batshit crazy, what does that say about LayCool? – and whether the expense to bring her in will be worth it. It may be, but why not go with what's logical, rather than what TMZ will cream over?

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The White House continues to put pressure on Republicans to accept a deal to avoid $85 billion in automatic spending cuts. It's known as the sequester and they're scheduled to take effect at the end of the week.
White House officials said that in just New York State alone, nearly 600 teachers and aides could lose their jobs.
4,300 children could lose their "Head Start" program slots. 12,000 civilian employees at the Defense Department could be forced to take unpaid time off, resulting in nearly $61 million in lost wages.
Democrats and Republicans have been at odds over how to avoid the cuts, with many GOP members opposed to the President's plan to replace some of them by closing tax loopholes on the wealthy. But for one local Congressman, he says the time has come to find a permanent solution.
"I think this is the moment where we actually reach a long term agreement. If we don't get certainty in this environment, we're not going to get the accelerant to this economy. We want to grow this economy, get Americans back to work," said Rep. Chris Gibson, 19th Congressional District.
Republicans have also accused the President of hyping the impact of the spending cuts, which total about two percent of the entire federal budget.
The White House also sounding the alarm on what cuts the Bay State may face.
The sequester would cost Massachusetts about 7,000 department of defense jobs.
The Obama administration says those employees would be furloughed.
$13.9 million is also at stake for primary and secondary education.
The White House says Massachusetts would lose additional funding for students with disabilities and for certain vaccines for children.
Funding for clean air and water protections are also subject to the sequester.

Telander: An epic mess
BY RICK TELANDER rtelander@suntimes
Let's look at the bright side.
The Bears converted a third down. Yay!
It came late in the third quarter on a 7-yard completion from Bears quarterback Jay Cutler to wide receiver Devin Hester at the Washington Redskins' 33.
This shocking feat ended a stretch of 0-for-28 on third downs with Cutler at the helm, a string going back three games. No matter that Cutler promptly threw a third-down interception that Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall returned 92 yards for a touchdown.
We take little victories where we find them.
Why, the Bears even converted a second third down in the fourth quarter!
Beyond that, this 17-14 loss to the Redskins was a mess of epic proportions.
The Bears, a curious gang that once had a strange momentum and a 4-1 record, are now reeling and 4-3.
If they have an offensive line, it must consist of the large, faceless people milling about near the line of scrimmage. Otherwise, what I see is a well-oiled, live-stock-sized turnstile.
Word is, Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was shown a photo of the Bears' O-line mid-week and had to be given meat and shot with a tranquilizer gun to calm him down. I think there was a play Sunday when the 6-6, 335-pound Haynseworth pushed the entire Bears unit back like a mattress box.
Later, Haynesworth knocked the ball out of Cutler's hands on a sneak at the 1-inch line, when, as he said, "I just jumped over the offensive linemen."
Trampoline, mattress, launching pad, it's all there.
But the stretch of Bears turnovers that occurred in the second half was unlike anything we have seen before.
Yes, fumbles and interceptions are part of almost every NFL game, but how does a quarterback--Cutler-- throw three interceptions to one defensive back--the Redskins' DeAngelo Hall--in just fourteen minutes of the second half and then throw a fourth one to the same guy eight minutes later to basically end the game-
We don't know.
Cutler doesn't know.
Cornerback Hall himself said, as he walked through the Soldier Field tunnel after the game, ``Some of it was great coverage, some of it was luck, and some of it was team defense.''
And how did it all feel-
``It feels great- '' Hall said.
Of course, it does. Especially since the Bears had a chance to win this game right up until Cutler mysteriously heaved the ball far up the right sideline, over seemingly confused receiver Johnny Knox, and into Hall's hands with 2:24 left. It had been first-and-10 near midfield.
It just made no sense.
`We all struggled on offense, which makes the quarterback look like he's struggling,'' said Bears center Olin Kreutz.
Oh, fine.
Cutler threw four interceptions, was sacked four times, and ran for his life other times. Except for the picks, we're getting used to that.
But there seems to be some increasing disconnect between Cutler and his receivers and offensive coordinator Mike Martz'es play-calling. Martz and Cutler had told us how this sophisticated, first-year offense would take time to kick in.
Yet things only seem to be getting worse.
Yes, the Bears third down conversion rate has soared (I'm being sarcastic here, kids) to a mighty 17.9 percent.
But the Bears have lost three of their last four games and have averaged a mere 14.5 points in each. In their first three games, all wins, they averaged 22 points.
Some trends are plain disturbing.
Cutler's once-stellar quarterback rating has dropped to 84.1. The offense is 0-for-10 when trying to score from the enemy's one-yard line. Veteran punter Brad Maynard seems to be losing his power.
And until Sunday the Bears had won every game in the last five years in which the defense scored a touchdown. Well, little Bears nickelback D.J. Moore scored on a 54-yard interception return of a Donovan McNabb mis-throw, and the Bears still lost.
How long until the Bears defenders start to turn away from their offensive teammates in distrust or disgust-
Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher says that won't happen. ``It doesn't matter what they do on offense,'' the bullet-headed one said in the locker room, ``we have to win the game on defense.''
That's a nice sentiment.
But when you see the Bears schedule after the coming bye week and the Buffalo Bills--the Vikings, Dolphins, Eagles, Patriots, Jets, etc.--you wonder.
Somebody better block somebody soon. Or something.

The City of Houston's relatively flat topology, plentiful rainfall and large areas of impervious surfaces make it prone to flooding. This article focuses on scenario-based HAZUS-MH riverine flood model information, including where flooding might occur and how much water might be present in different areas of the city. The project taps ArcGIS Server and Flex, along with crowdsourcing to understand inundations during and after major rain events. Author Larry T. Nierth is a GIS Supervisor for the City of Houston's Enterprise GIS Division within the Planning Department.
Four maps highlight each of the inundation surfaces for each HAZUS-MH scenario of each study area. In addition to the main map, several parcel examples are displayed, broken down by scenario-based flooded area. A land-use inset map is also included for each study area in the table of contents.
Figure 12: Map set of the study areas
For the public-facing Web map, the Flex application inundation surfaces were converted to non-generalized polygon layers. This was done for two reasons. First, it speeds up the identify function. Second, the identify results (when highlighted on the map) show all areas with the same water elevation. This allows citizens to not only see the value of a selected location, but other areas in the view extent with the same water depth. The list of layers can be brought up and the user can toggle between 100-, 500- and 1,000-year flood events on the display (Figure 13). Additionally, an edit service allows users to add points and comments to the maps, as well as to select an inundation value from the domain-controlled, pull-down menu.

December 9, 1984. That's the night Evan Kleiman opened Angeli Caffé on Melrose. We shouted our praises a few months ago, but if you still haven't stopped by, Kleiman is sweetening the deal with a 25th anniversary celebration that lasts through the end of next year. As of December 1, you can grab a three-course supper for $25 every night through 2010. With most restaurant's discounted suppers in town topping out at nearly twice that amount (Lucques' Sunday Suppers and Monday Family Nights at Campanile are both now $45), this is truly a George Michael-era bargain (not to worry, Wham! tunes have not been added to the restaurant's iPod). Kleiman tells us the menu will vary nightly, depending on what's in season, but you can bet those fantastic croquettes and handmade gnocchi will make appearances, as will her always-fresh seasonal salads and satisfying desserts like flourless chocolate cake.

Time for a new Michigan Democratic party chair
It is time for Mark Brewer to go. That's the sentiment of most the party's politicos.
The Michigan Citizen talked to many people for the story on the upcoming election of a new state Democratic Party chair. Most wouldn't go on the record but agreed it's time for change. Many stated they didn't want to make this an anti-Brewer campaign. Others said, simply, "It's time for new energy."
All, however, want results from the Michigan Democratic Party, which they don't believe they have been seeing. Some framed the issue in terms of big losses; others cite lack of organization, no fundraising ability, no technological innovation and overall ineffectiveness.
Either way, Brewer, who has been chair since 1995, is no longer producing results for the party. During his tenure, he has had a particularly contentious relationship with Detroit. Brewer did not loudly oppose the Emergency Manager (EM) law nor actively participate in the campaign for its defeat. The EM law is particularly important to Detroit, Benton Harbor and other majority-Black cities either under financial management or threatened with it. Those who opposed the EM law understood it effectively disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Black and Democratic voters. There are several theories that speak to the destruction imposed under EM laws. One is that they disenfranchise communities not just by removing elected officials from office but also, by extension, weaken local democratic party machines.
The MDP has also notoriously blocked new talent, especially Black talent that has emerged from Detroit. Ever wondered why voter participation has dwindled or Detroit doesn't get candidates who enthuse? Consider the MDP's role in discouraging organic leadership by blocking anyone who doesn't share the same political ideology of a party that helped make the career of Andy Dillon, former Democratic House Leader turned Democratic candidate for governor to Republican governor's administration executive.
Brewer has relied on Detroit's turnout to deliver results for Michigan but has done very little, if anything, to take up policy concerns that would help Detroit.
Party leadership, organization and machines have been destroyed in Southeastern Michigan — a strong Democratic region. With the removal of Kwame Kilpatrick and the scandal of Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, the political organizations of the region have been all but obliterated. Brewer has put no effort into rebuilding or building new groups that would take their place. We will undoubtedly see the results of this lack of effort for years to come unless strong political candidates emerge.
Finally, it was Brewer's political maneuver, along with then Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Debbie Dingell and others in 2008, to move up the primary that caused a great upset to democrats statewide. In addition to losing half of Michigan's delegates during the year the first Black president would be elected, Michiganders were also denied the chance to vote for Barack Obama for president in the primary. The move was self-important and political gamesmanship at a time when the party's base, Black Detroiters, should have been respected. Some of that gamesmanship could have been better utilized through the years to build a strong party that could support policy and people that will make a better Michigan.
