Knights overcome slow start, topple OR
Friday, April 19, 2013
DURHAM — Kingswood High School girls lacrosse coach Ali Cushing likes to keep lists. So when her team struggled in the first half Thursday afternoon at Oyster River, she had a big one ready at halftime.
"The ground balls was one of our biggest issues in the first half," Lapar said. "We play on a smooth surface most of the time, so coming into this game we had to adjust."
Lynn Burke scored a pair of goals for Oyster River, including her team's only tally of the second half. Hannah Igoe scored the Bobcats' other goal. The Bobcats fell to 1-3.
Oyster River senior midfielder Molly McQuade said fatigue is catching up with the Bobcats.
"We have a couple of key players out right now, and I think we got tired," McQuade said. "We already had two games this week and we just got run down."
The Bobcats won their season opener 19-14 over Pembroke, but haven't reached double digits in scoring since that game.
"We weren't doing a really great job of slowing down," Oyster River coach Casey Reynolds said about Thursday's game. "When the other team gets up, they tend to get flustered. It's that hurry-up offense, and they need to be more settled."The good news for Oyster River is that it has 11 days between games. The Bobcats will not play during the school's upcoming spring vacation, and won't return to action until April 29 at Windham.
Kingswood returns to action on Monday at home against Plymouth. Then the Knights will be off for the rest of April vacation and return to action on May 1 at Laconia.

its a shame that we see cam doing better from under center and calling audibles, then after another td drive go back to the fuging read option and the offense stalls for 2 quarters
So you notice that too?
Posted 27 November 2012 - 05:09 PM
I'm praying Cam and Lafell can end the season on a high note. He looked for Lafell more off the audibles.

he's a playmaker. when allowed he can make things happen. don't put that guy in a box anymore. make it simple with a lot of options and just trust him and we'll have that star we drafted, that dynamic offense we saw last year, and more wins.

Posted 27 November 2012 - 06:31 PM
very good read.
the crux of it:
This year, offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski attempted to do more with Newton, trying to utilize all of the quarterback's talents to his full advantage. But more Newton proved to be less productive for the Panthers. On Monday night, Panthers coach Ron Rivera admitted the following, according to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer: "The thing is, we put a lot on his plate early in the year, and we've taken some of it back. He's reacted to that very well."
As with all quarterbacks, while it is important to know what to do, it can be even more important to know what not to do. The San Francisco 49ers understand this better than most teams. They have had two different quarterbacks succeed with their system, which highlights the skill sets of both players.
The Panthers are learning more about Newton with each game this season -- positively and negatively. The team should be getting a better idea of how to shape the offense around him. But any potential changes to the staff, whether with regard to the head coach or any other offensive position, could result in the implementation of a new system, a new offense and a new learning curve. For the Panthers to be successful next season, they must correctly identify their real problems -- from players to coaches to schemes -- and then handle them correctly.
That will be the challenge for the new general manager: Pinpointing the flaws that need fixing. Most people instinctively want to make big changes to losing teams, but strategic change will solve the Panthers' problems.
Carolina doesn't need a general manager who will come in with a broom and sweep everyone out. The Panthers need someone with an understanding of this team as it relates to the competition. The new GM must totally understand both the NFL and Newton's talents, and he must mesh these understandings together to create the right system.

Nationwide Insurance index ranks Cleveland as second-healthiest housing market in U.S.
Home prices rise, but remain undervalued in Cleveland, Akron
Blog Entry:
May 15, 2013 10:42 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Housing prices have been rising rapidly, but
this piece
on Forbes.com assures us that we're not in bubble territory.
"Even with recent sharp home price increases, prices are still low relative to fundamentals and are far below bubble levels," writes Jed Kolko, chief economist of real estate data website Trulia.
He assesses whether home prices are overvalued or undervalued relative to their fundamental value by comparing prices today with historical prices, incomes, and rents. Incomes, he notes, "determine how much people can pay for housing, and price increases aren't sustainable if they push prices too high relative to incomes."
The formula gets a bit complicated, but Mr. Kolko produces a list of the 10 cities in which home prices currently are most undervalued — a list dominated by Ohio cities.
Las Vegas, with home prices relative to fundamentals of -24%, is the most undervalued housing market, followed by Detroit, at 23% below fundamentals. Akron and Cleveland are tied for fourth, at -21%. Toledo is eighth, at -18%, and Dayton is ninth, at -17%.
If prices were to keep rising as fast as they are today, "we'd be back in bubble territory in several years," Mr. Kolko writes. However, prices are unlikely to keep rising as fast as they are now for three reasons: inventory should expand, mortgage rates should rise and investor interest should fade.
This and that
By the Book:
A blog called American Dirt, which offers "observations of contemporary landscapes," takes a
close look
at Cleveland-based
Ferchill Group's
renovation of the
Westin Book Cadillac Hotel
in Detroit.
The post examines how Ferchill Group and Cleveland's
Kaczmar Architects
solved some of the room and common space design challenges that had thwarted previous efforts to redevelop the massive structure, which, when built in the 1920s, was the world's tallest hotel.
"One of the biggest considerations that had frustrated numerous prior attempts at redevelopment had been the hotel's configuration; the rooms simply didn't meet the size standards for today's hotel patrons, by either a luxury or budget hotel classification," according to the post. "This situation — coupled with the catastrophic economic decline of Detroit in the second half of the 20th century — killed the hotel's profitability by the early 1980s and forced developers to question how it could ever return to viability."
But American Dirt says Kaczmar "found a solution, which manifests itself when one investigates the details to the typical room in the renovated Westin."
By today's standards, a room in the hotel "appears unusually narrow — almost claustrophobic," according to the post. "Yet continuing the unadorned motif almost helps to mitigate the narrowness: if the designer had filled the walls with decorative bric-a-brac, the space would feel cluttered and even constraining."
There's quite a bit more analysis, which is worthwhile if you're interested in hotel architecture/design and the economics of reviving old downtown buildings.
Modest improvement:
Cleveland economist
George Zeller
finds that Cuyahoga County is on an impressive winning streak.
Inflation-adjusted May sales tax collections in Cuyahoga County were up 1.62% from May 2012. It also marks 32 consecutive months in which the local sales tax has generated an inflation-adjusted increase — a clear sign of improving conditions for consumers.
However, Dr. Zeller notes that the recovery "continues to be extremely slow," and Cuyahoga County and Ohio "need a vigorous recovery, not a slow recovery, to make up for extremely large previous losses in employment, earnings and sales tax collection levels" during the recession.
The voice:
Cleveland Clinic
doctor is quoted in
this Bloomberg story
about Google CEO Larry Page, who disclosed a health condition that can result in hoarse speech and labored breathing.
Mr. Page has been diagnosed with left vocal cord paralysis, a condition that affects movement of the left vocal cord. The malady "can make it hard for the Google co-founder to exercise at peak capacity and limits his participation in some company events, such as quarterly conference calls," Bloomberg says.
Although Mr. Page is able to handle all functions of his job, treatment options are tricky, according to the story.
"When both vocal cords are paralyzed and positioned closely together, a surgeon might perform a procedure known as a tracheotomy, making an incision in the front of the neck and inserting a breathing tube to restore air flow," Bloomberg notes.
"If they are close together, the person will have trouble breathing, and if they are really far apart, the person will have trouble speaking," says Michel Benninger, chairman of the Head and Neck Institute at the Clinic. "You either have no voice or no airway."
Fill 'er up:
are getting a bit of a break
when it comes to buying gas — at least for now.
"Drivers who fill up their tanks every week probably noticed a recent jump in the cost of gasoline,"
The Wall Street Journal
reports. "Indeed, the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $3.58, which is six cents higher than a week ago, marking the biggest weekly increase since February. The current average is four cents higher than a month ago."
Rising crude-oil prices and tight supplies are among the factors that have recently pushed prices higher at the pump, according to AAA's
Daily Fuel Gauge Report
The recent trend toward higher prices has affected most states, "with only West Virginia and Ohio posting lower prices now than a week ago," the story notes. Prices in six states — Oregon, Minnesota, Washington, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Iowa — have jumped by more than 20 cents.

Rated 1 out of 5 by apahwa Seams split on first use I wore it to bed once and woke up with 2 large rips. One by the right side pocket and one down the back. The pants felt and looked great but it was really upsetting that it only lasted 1 night. I think it is because the cloth is incredibly thin and light - it is like picking up paper. March 5, 2014

Farm House Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
This realistic personalized red barn ornament is a must for anyone who spent time on a farm, still runs a farm or just likes decorating their home with a country themed tree for Christmas. Pictured in front of the barn doors is the trusty cow, on the side is the sneaky pig and in the top window of the barn overlooking the loft is the patient chicken who lays farm fresh eggs. This livestock farm also supports aggriculture and produces vegetables sold at the farmer's market in town on the weekends, the fresh food a favorite among consumers. A personalized farm ornament makes a fun reminder of the 4H head, heart, hands and health slogan.

By now, we all know the health benefits of eating whole wheat instead of white. The next question is bagel or English muffin? The classic bagel seems to be a staple in many Americans diets. However, the English muffin is beloved by Eggs Benedict fans and many others across the nation. Which should you throw in the toaster at breakfast time? Well, that depends on how you plan to top it when it pops.
Whole wheat bagels and whole wheat English muffins offer pretty much the same nutritional facts. But it's important to remember that half of a bagel is the same serving as an entire English muffin. If you can't eat just half, you'd be better off resisting the temptation and opting for the English muffin instead.
Half of a bagel still packs about 40 more calories than an entire English muffin but it also provides more fiber and protein, which will make you feel fuller longer.
In that aspect, bagels and English muffins almost tie for first place. Where things go sour is when spreads get involved. If you are a bagel person, be sure to use non-fat cream cheese or reduced-fat cream cheese, as these can save you a whole bagel's worth of fat and calories.
In the same way, reduced-fat peanut butter is a better choice than regular peanut butter for English muffin fans. Almond butter is another great alternative to traditional peanut butter, which can be very dense in fat.

"This is the first time we had ever ordered anything like this online and it was so easy! The cards came earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. The quality of the envelopes was perfect, and we went with the basic option. My only negative comment is that the photo looked darker when it was finally printed than it did on the computer, but that was probably an oversight on our part."

Ether Saga Online
Ether Saga Online is a 3D fantasy MMORPG with brightly colored, cartoony graphics. There are three races and six classes, which is impressive for a free game. The ability to catch and raise pets adds another dimension to this simple but enjoyable game.
Publisher: Perfect World Entertainment
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Low Quality
Type: MMORPG
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Duels /PvP zones
Filesize: 1763 MB
Pros: +Nice brightly colored graphics. +Lively music. +Simple interface and controls. +In depth pet raising & catching system. +Unique stat system.
Cons: -Generic gameplay. -Limited appearance customization. -Quests involve too much traveling. -Linear skill progression.
Ether Saga Online Overview
Ether Saga Online is cartoony game with an oriental theme and music. There are three races to chose from (the Ren, Shenzu, Mogui, and Yaoh); while Ren, Shenzu and Yaoh share the same six classes, Mogui have only two exclusive classes available. Each race starts with a unique pet, which aids the player in combat, but starting at level 15 players are free to catch any creature they choose and raise it as a pet. The abilitiy to distribute earned points among different elements rather than stats adds another a layer of originality to Ether Saga Online. Overall, the game looks and plays like many other games in the genre. The presentation and graphics are sharper than previous games since Ether Saga is a recent game, developed by the same team behind Perfect World. The eight classes are:
Rogue - Relies on stealth and cunning. Equipped with dual-poison tipped daggers, rogues make deadly opponents.
Dragoon - The main melee class who uses lances and serves the role of a tank in groups.
Conjurer - The primary offensive caster class that possesses the most powerful spells in the game. Conjurers use amulets to channel their power. They wear light armor.
Ranger - Equipped with bow and arrow, the Ranger fights from a distance and is capable of disabling opponents with snares, traps, and other abilities.
Shaman - A hybrid class equipped with a powerful hammer and with the ability to cast healing and buffing spells. Shamans can serve as secondary tanks or supportive healers.
Mystic - The supportive class in Ether Saga. Mystics use staves and wear light armor but can cast heals and powerful buffs on their allies.
Maven – The casters of the Mogui, that use powerful INT based attacks.
Hellion – The melee counterpart of the Mogui, focused on defense.

Ether Saga Online Review
By Erhan Altay
Ether Saga Online is one of the first major MMORPG releases of 2009. Published by the team behind the mega-hit Perfect World, Ether Saga went into open beta testing in mid-March and has been available to the general public since. The game is not quite as detailed as Perfect World; it is far easier to jump into and simpler to learn. The graphic style is also a step down from Perfect World's, but still impressive with nicely done, bright cartoony graphics.
Oriental Express
Like all games published by PW International, Ether Saga Online has a distinctly oriental theme. The three playable races have Chinese sounding names: Ren, Shenzu, Yaoh. The classes are your classic fantasy stock but some have slightly different names: Rogue, Dragoon, Conjurer, Ranger, Shaman, Mystic. Those with WoW experience will notice how similar each class icon looks with the class icons used in World of Warcraft. The appearance customization in Ether Saga is very limited, which is a disappointment considering that was one of Perfect World's best features. Each gender of each race has 5 face and 5 hairstyles to chose from. Additionally, each race starts with a different pet though they are all functionally identical.
Walky Talky Quests
There is no separate tutorial zone or area in Ether Saga but players do start near a NPC that provides a very beginner oriented questline. A small, circular question mark button also makes an appearance near the middle of the screen, and when clicked, provides information on various topics such as character stats, movement, and so on. The questline (which involves talking to the various nearby NPCs) is well worth doing for the experience point reward, but the help button is more annoying than useful. The game's controls and interface are generally well done but aren't anything out of the ordinary. Anyone with gaming experience should be able to figure them out right away. Movement is done through either a point and click method or with the WASD keys. User interface menus (such as your inventory or character stats) can be opened with either the mouse or through keyboard shortcuts. The mouse wheel zooms the camera in or out while right-clicking and dragging controls the camera's rotation. From my experience, the game does a poor job with the default graphic settings, so players must go to the system menu and manually set the game's resolution and visual quality.
Bright but Dull
Ether Saga Online is not as visually stunning as Perfect World but it's clear the developers were going for a different look. The atmosphere is more casual and, dare I say it, childish in comparison. This is not in and of itself a fault since the graphics and colors are still impressive and visually pleasing. The trouble is the game world feels empty. There are currently two servers and each has about a dozen channels, which seems like overkill considering the amount of players in each one. There is always activity in the major cities but while hunting all I saw were hundreds of monsters with no players in sight. The first few quests are rather dull and have you run back and forth from one NPC to another. This can get frustrating but at least an auto-walk feature is there to help you. The quest log itself is well organized, as is the rest of the UI. Progression feels a bit slow paced since players only receive a single skill point per level. Each class has a single skill line which means new players really have no choice when it comes to picking skills. Stat points are handled in a unique method; players gain 5 elemental points every 5 levels to distribute. This averages out to a single stat point a level but the game holds off and only awards them every 5 levels. Putting a point in each of the elements has a different effect and they are:
Oora: +3 str, +crit change.
Unda: +20 HP, +regen rate.
Widu: +1 int, +1 resist, +crit damage, +resist.
Pyra: +3 int, +crit chance.
Erda: +1 str +1 dex, +crit damage.
Danger From an Unexpected Source
Strangely, monsters don't start becoming aggressive in Ether Saga for a very long time. I consider everything before level 15 to be the beginner phase (so no aggressive monsters until then makes sense), but even monsters higher level than that tend to be passive. It is at level 15 that players can start catching their own pets rather than using the one that they start with. Almost any creature can be captured, though creatures around your own level are easier to catch. Different pets have different stats and skills so it takes some experimentation to find one that works well with your class and play style. But while the game world is littered with what seems like an over-spawn of monsters, the main sense of excitement and threat in Ether Saga Online comes from other players. Many of the game's zones have open PvP, which means any player can attack another, though PKing comes with stiff penalties. Killing another player labels you as a player killer, which puts your name in red, leaving you open to attack by other players. Additionally, if you die while your name is red, you have a chance of dropping equipment or items from your inventory.
End Game Present
Only very recent free-to-play MMORPGs have large-scale, instanced dungeons similar to the type found in pay-to-play games. Luckily, Ether Saga is one of them and there are plenty of unique dungeons to explore, though most require a medium-sized group to complete. The loot and experience gained in these instances is superior to the rewards found in the mainland, and their mere existence makes Ether Saga a more team-oriented game than similar titles, such as Rose Online or Seal Online. Ether Saga is still a new game but so far it seems to suffer from a very common problem among free games – a small population. Hopefully, it can build up its community and fix up some of the early level quests to make them more exciting.
Final Verdict: Good
Ether Saga Online is a brightly colored MMORPG with simple gameplay. What it lacks in originality it makes up for with a complete package, including in-depth features such as the pet system, large game world, and varied classes.

Killing Kennedy
About Killing Kennedy
Based on the best-selling book by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard, Killing Kennedy begins in 1959, at major turning points for both the future president and his assassin. John F. Kennedy (played by Emmy-award winner Rob Lowe) is in Washington, D.C., preparing to announce his presidential candidacy, while Lee Harvey Oswald finds himself in the U.S. embassy in Moscow, renouncing his U.S. citizenship. These two events start both men—one a member of one of the United States' most wealthy and powerful families, the other a disillusioned former Marine and Marxist—on a cataclysmic track that would alter the course of history. Throughout the film, we see their highs and lows, culminating in not one but two shocking deaths that stunned the nation.

This is working great. It runs more than I thought it would but it is keeping the temperature around 58 nicely.
I agree with the other reviews that the customer service through the whole process was great.

We used this unit to replace an old Breezeaire in a wine cabinet we bought used. It is quiet and very efficient -- just as Bryan (IWA Center) promised. Installation went fairly easily. The customer service was outstanding.
Nancy and Dennis
Thanks for your help and could not say enough about La Cache & CellarPro's
customer service. The replacement unit has been installed and is working
perfectly and Fed Ex just picked up the original unit with the return
Ken R.
Cincinnati, OH
Replaced an old Breezeaire unit. The CellarPro unit is doing a great job in the cabinet, but
runs more of the time than the Breezeaire and is much noisier. Installation is definitely a
two-person job. On the whole, satisfied so far.
Brian Crabtree
Plymouth MI
Purchased the CellarPro cooling unit to replace a ten year old Breezeaire that was damaged in a local power surge.
All has gone well. Very happy with the advise, service and performance.
Ken Richter
Cincinnati, Oh
The design and construction is much improved. it works flawlessly. It's higher capacity and slightly more noisy but keeping my 5200 cellar very cozy. Service was excellent. Also upgraded to led lighting which worked out well.
Don Smith
Pleasanton, CA
I was not too excited with the noise level of this unit after it was installed and working. I complained, but there was not much they could do. They did try, though. I decided to live with the noise level (nothing crazy, just louder that I thought it would be given the description). It worked great, however.
Then the unit went out after 9 months. Not great, but they were awesome about getting it replace. Shipped it down to me asap, and were on top of it from the get-go. I was surprised it went out, since under all apprearances this thing look very well built. But the service can't be beat. I have had one other brand go out on me years ago, and all I got was a prorated credit towards the next. Cellarpro's service can't be beat.
So Cal
Cellarpro service was superior. I called to describe my problem, and received emails suggesting solutions. I replaced rather than repaired the cooling unit.
Two words of advice for replacement instructions: the face of the new unit has a decorative grill that needs to be removed when installing; if your unit is nearly flush to the wall (top vent), the power cord plug cannot be removed through the rear hole, and must be cut (or empty the whole wine cellar and move it away from the wall). The new unit's cord, for the same reason, cannot be run out the rear cabinet whole, but may be left to exit the top.
This new unit is louder than the model replaced, and seems to cycle less frequently. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase, from ordering through installation.
Gregory Rubino
Lake Charles, LA
Perfect order. Very helpful in making the right choice. Order shipped and delivered as promised, on time and perfect delivery. installation was easy. Now my La Cache can last another ten years. A bit pricy buy my motto "buy the best, cry only once"
Southern California
I needed a replacement cooling unit for our wine cabinet and in a hurry too. Your CSR was an expert on his competitors' models as well as his own. What we got was not just a replacement unit, but a much more effecient, quieter, upgraded unit. We would recommend Cellar Pro to anyone.
Jeannie and Tony Molinaro
San Clemente CA 9/6/12
Bought CellarPro 1800QT to replace Wine Enthusiast cooling unit KW-800b after 3 of those units failed within two years, the last one no longer under warranty. The new unit required cutting a bigger opening in my wine cabinet, which was relatively simple, and the rest of the installation was easy with the mounting brackets that were provided. The unit seems very efficient and quickly brought the temperature down to the targeted 55 degrees, where it keeps it without too much effort (this unit runs only intermittently compared with the old one which run all the time). Low noise level. 5 year warranty is reassuring. Relatively expensive but clearly superior quality so it seems well worth it.
Washington, DC
PHENOMINAL the unit is super quiet and cycles half as often as the 21 year old unit (Vinotemp) I replaced. I would recommend this company and their products to any and everyone.
Lucas S
Warwick, RI
I had a circa-1990s breezeair that I replaced with this unit. First of all, the noise, at least for my unit, is WAY less. Amazing. Second, the performance is great. It was about 20% more $ than a new breezeair, but I chose to go with Cellarpro due to the positive reviews. Very happy, installed easily. Still working to get it completely airtight, but that's my problem. Also, keeps the humidity higher than the breezeair...65% vs under 50% in the old unit's last days.
Blaine Morris
Marin County, California
Purchased the unit to replace the old Breezaire in my wine cabinet. Customer service and delivery was great (Shipped from California to Ontario, Canada). Replacing the old unit went well and I quite like the design of the unit. I like the location of the LED and controls. My only complaint however, is that I find it noisey. In fact, it appears to be noisier than my former Breezaire unit. I was led to believe that I would find a noticeable reduction in noise once installed but unfortunately, the opposite is true. I can hear the unit when I'm upstairs! As a result...can't rate it as high as I would like to.
Sam Kosakowski
Ontario, Canada
My old Breezeair went ka-put..67 degrees was max. I ordered the cellarPro 1800. It was delivered within 1 week. If you can take out the old unit, you can put in this unit. In no time, 56 degrees. I was used to the old unit running all the time. Was I surprised to find that they cut off. I am very pleased with the easy of operation and temp control. A wise choice.
Royce Jackson
Tyler, Tx
Easy to install. Works well and digital control display easy to use. Nice appearance with wine closet. So far would recommend this unit.
Davenport, IA
Relatively easy to install. Works very well. I like the additional control over humidity. Veyr to easy to set temp. Hopefully will last longer then the previous units. Actually not as loud as I thought it might be. I am pleased and would recommend this to anyone with a large cabinet.
Stephen Pett
Erie, PA
It installed easily and runs much better than my prior unit. The controls are easy to operate and it is nice having much more control over how the unit works especially with the adjustment for humidity. My only minor complaint is that it is not as quiet as advertised, which I think has to do with the fact that mine is installed in a cabinet and a fair amount of noise comes out the exhaust vent. I would definitely buy again.
Bill Wassynger
Nashville, TN
This is the 4th different unit I have put into my wine cabinet, and the early word is that it is the best. It is keeping the temps in the 50s seemingly effortlessly, which the vinotemps units could not do, and it is much quieter than my much larger Breeseaire. I have high hopes that the good early perfomance will continue.
Art Silvergleid
St. Petersburg, FL
I was looking for a cooler that would last longer than a few years, unlike the 4 others that were built in China. This unit seems to be more rugged and I liked the top exhaust option.
Bill Blethen
Doylestown, PA
The CellarPro is much more efficient than the Breezaire. It only runs for approx. 8 min...then, approx. 30-35 mins. elapse before...it cycles on again. Run time of 16 minutes out of every hour is great! The Breezaire never ran like that...
Michael Grimaldi
Pompano Beach, FL
This is a great a unit. Easy to operate. I bought it because it will control the humidity and it does seem to live up to its promise.

My son is in our local cub scout pack, he was a bear this year and would like to continue but the den leader we have doesn't really do anything with the boys, and doesn't seem interested at all. It is a very negative enviroment and my son is not having fun. There are two other packs near us that seem active and we would like to switch to one of those for next year. I know Sept. is usual enrollment time, do I just wait til then? It is May now, do other packs continue to do things through the summer? Thanks

when is the best time to switch packsTags: None
Contact the other Packs and find out what their summer schedule is. They should have at least three events in the summer. June 1 your son will be a Webelos so if you are going to switch do it sooner rather than later. If your son is not having fun I see no reason to wait another day to switch. Some Packs do continue have den meetings, but many school based ones do not.
Technically, you can switch any time you want...it is just easier in the summer.
An alternative is volunteering to help the den leader and make it a more positive experience. Other than that, maybe visit other packs in the summer and decide for September.
Beware, there are gung-ho ("get all 20") Webelos dens/patrols that won't cover certain activity badges they have deemed to be covered in summer/day camp.

Instead of jumping, does this DL want to step down? Maybe it's burnout? Do you want to step-up? What do the other parents say? Have you asked this question?
We really don't have a full background on this situation so I'm not going to jump to any conclusions.
The offer to be the DL might be a good idea, but Webelos is a transitional time for the boys and takes a bit more than just being an artsy-crafty kinda person. A bit of the outdoors person goes a long way with Webelos.
Not knowing your personal situation, i.e. single mom, couch potato dad, etc. it just may be too much to step up to the plate. Is there another parent that can co-DL with you? Maybe doing the inside stuff and having a co-DL do the outside stuff or vice-versa?
As a last resort, one can always check out the other Packs in the area. They all run things differently and if you find out they are all as bad as the one you're at, it might be worth it to stick with the pack where at least he knows the boys. Then HELP the DL become a better DL. Offer to do what you can to make it nice for the boys. The current DL might be in over his/her head as well.
I agree with the co-DL concept.I stumbled upon a good situation on my 2nd try with Webelos. We had 2 co-leaders, a mom and a dad. I did the outdoorsy stuff, gear, and Boy Scout stuff. She did the crafty, lecture stuff. Both approaches seemed to appeal to the boys. It helped me in that she was better organized as well.
If you find a Pack you like that's active in the summer, change whenever is convenient. I don't know many Packs that meet regularly in the summer, so around here, I would recommend switching in September. Have you (or your husband) thought of stepping up to be Webelos Den Leader? (that is do you have interest and skills). That said, maybe this guy will be a better WDL.Last edited by perdidochas; 05-01-2014, 09:26 AM.
Originally posted by jblake47 View PostMy Webelos den met every Monday year-around. Summer is the best time of the year to go camping with the Webelos boys, why would anyone consider dropping the program for the summer?
In Florida I would disagree that summer is the best time to camp...... but that's just me.
Our pack traditionally does nothing in the summer. It seems that it's time for the leaders who are burned out to step away form it for a while..... and the parents and boys get into family trips, sports, etc....
If we had more volunteer energy, I would certainly be pushing for something in the summer. I think 1 good pack gathering, maybe a potluck picnic with games..... or perhaps a camping trip or a push for the group to go to an organized summer camp...... just one thing would be great. As it is, that's not happening for us any time soon.....
To the OP, I agree with the others re. stepping up.... as Stosh said though, only if it's in the cards for you ....
Otherwise, I wouldn't wait until September even if your chosen target pack doesn't meet in the summer. I would make contact now to let them know you're coming. Might be easier to fill out the app and get the ball rolling before the September rush.
Another idea might be to attend the district summer activities. Might be an opportunity to get to know the other packs better.
Thanks for the replies. I've decided to continue through the summer but I am going to visit some other den meetings and pack meetings to see how they can be different. If it was just the dl I would stay and co lead but there are other things that bother me also. Let me know if this is how it should go.
Our PL has been the leader for 24 yrs, It isn't a new group. DL is PL son. He's been a dl for 4 yrs.
Can someone tell me how a bear den meeting should be like. What I had imagined was that there was a opening with the pledge and motto, (we did that for a few weeks in the beginning but not in like 7 months now) so we have no real start to our meetings. I thought then maybe there was a group game for team building or songs or a discussion on a cub scout ideal, etc. Something, anything.
We sit down an the tables and our dl looks through the book for 15 minutes and says we don;t really have anything planned but doesn't really plan anything for next week. The boys get antsy and ask to things but we don't usually make a plan for the next week. I have done a few activites and the boys have done some activities with other dl but only I or 2 with our dl. We've never gone outside.
At pinewood derby and B & G, should the DL greet their cubs and say hi? Ours doesn't really. If we see him at a school function he sort of ignores us. He doesn't really seem like he wants to be a dl, I think his mom just want him to be. If it was just the dl I could stay and co lead. They haven't asked me or expressed the idea that he wants help, in fact, I think he feels like I stepped on his toes when I offered to do stuff. I think he's a little shy and was nervous so I was very patient and waited to see what he had planned for the year. Out of the approximately 17 meetings we had, only about 5 did we actually do anything and all but one was with another den or me.
The issues with the PL really bother me because they seem opposite of what I want my son to learn in cub scouts.
She yelled, Hey fatso to her grown son (DL) at a cub meeting. She caught herself and put her mouth over her mouth but she was laughing. She yellls shut up alot. Doesn't seem to know the words please or thank you. In a speech she told someone (I'm not sure who, I couldn't see, it could have been a kid) they better stop eating or they would end up like her son and then she compared her thin son to her chubby son, on stage in front of the pack with council there! wth? She's very intimidating and has been the pl for a long time so she has to know this is inappropriate, right? She's had kids cry because she's very gruff. She doesn't always mean it but she just isn't what I thought a pl would be. I know it's volunteer and she says it's all for the kids etc but I just don't see them learning anything positive. We had gone on a family camp out (only 3 families including mine from our pack went and I didn't know it til afterwards) and my son learned stuff there, everyone was pleasant and fun and knowledgeable.
thanks for reading so much

Austin based Filmmaker Joe Nicolosi has released a new viral video called "The Matrix Retold By Mom" and IT IS THE BEST! Watch as Joe's adorably confused Mom can't remember anything about the 1999 sci-fi classic she just watched. If you want to see more of Joe's hilarious videos go to www.Joe-Nicolosi.com  or check out his Youtube page, PixelsperSecond.
Condor Ferries, a ferry service that runs between England and France, has brought a new twist to the safety announcement game: terrible rapping, awful graphics, and bad dancing. The video started showing this week on voyages between Poole and Channel Islands, and we can only hope the embarrassing video doesn't catch on.
Scientists in Britain spent two months studying the most attractive features of the human face, and then used a computer program to create composites of what apparently are the most beautiful man and woman in the world. What do you think? Would you swipe right on either of these faces?
The men's room of a restaurant in Taiyuan, China includes a display where three lingerie-clad mannequins stand behind glass in front of the urinals in the restroom. And the male customers at the restaurant are having a hard time with it, because the mannequins are staring directly at them. Would you be able to use this bathroom?
Customs officials at Bergamo Airport recently stopped an unnamed man trying to mail a giant prehistoric egg worth $125,000 to Los Angeles. When asked why he was trying to send a giant, 12,000 year-old "Elephant Bird" egg to the city of Angels he explained that it was a wedding gift. Customs officials aren't buying it and have apprehended him for trying to export a cultural item without permission, which could lead to jail time and a fine of up to $5,000.
A company has invented a new toy that can have an entire conversation with kids. It's called CogniToy, and it's a plastic dinosaur that is powered by IBM's super computer, Watson. So, it basically knows the answer to every question, and can even tell jokes, stories, and remember things. Parents – would you buy CogniToy?

I'm pretty certain I read that the original problems with data loss were due to application developers not writing to files properly. Something about depending on the kernel to automatically fsync instead of doing it themselves, but I could be waay off :P
Anyway, I think there's a chance that if most programmers out there had written their apps while catering for optimizing how their apps wrote to files, then we could have maintained the significant speeds of the original benchmarks.
But then, is there any real expectation that your average non-guru developer will want to think about things like that?

If you add new instructions to the instruction set architecture every time there is a new algorithm then you eventually end up with a pretty bloated instruction set architecture.
Phoronix: Intel Makes Cryptography Faster On Linux
The Linux 3.8 kernel is continuing to pull in massive amounts of new code as shown by all of the noteworthy pull requests that have been highlighted on Phoronix in the past few days. The latest pull request to catch my interest has been the crypto work, thanks to performance-enhancing additions by Intel...
If you add new instructions to the instruction set architecture every time there is a new algorithm then you eventually end up with a pretty bloated instruction set architecture.
I was also wondering why not just implement lower level instructions and let the cryptography algorithms use them.
Same about video - they put decoders of codecs right into silicon, doing so imo only makes sense on small devices where being paranoid about power usage is ok.
AFAIK you don't get the performance gain if the instructions are any lower level. Might be possible to generalize them a bit more I guess...
YOU DO KNOW that processors have been invented that have ONE move instruction and no other instructions at all! NOP is just moving a register onto itself. Everything you do depends on which register you choose as the source or target. NATURALLY there is JUST AS MUCH BLOAT in this implementation as any other.
TELL US is there MORE bloat in a wide API where each API function is cleanly written with its own entry point, or in YOUR scenario where the library must have a big switch statement and logic decoding just to figure out what the user wanted to do?
The more instructions you add to the instruction set architecture the more it become CISC and it eventually turns into VAX. Then those algorithms gets old and outdated to newer and improved algorithms and they just become legacy baggage on modern hardware.
Do YOU speak in monotone ALL THE TIME? DO YOU EVER USE INFLECTION?
WHY do you CHANGE THE LANGUAGE YOU SPEAK when you sit in front of the computer? Why do you REMOVE ALL THE INFLECTION? Is there some sort of bandwidth issue with processing ALL THOSE EXTRA BITS?
GO read ZIPPY THE PINHEAD and perhaps you can COMPLAIN TO HIM TOO!

Phoronix: 3-Way RadeonSI Gallium3D vs. Catalyst Benchmarks
The latest RadeonSI Gallium3D open-source driver benchmarks I have to share are OpenGL performance tests comparing three different Radeon HD 7000 and Radeon Rx 200 series graphics cards between the open-source Mesa 10.0 driver and Catalyst 13.11...
I must say I'm actually impressed with RadeonSI based on this limited benchmark.
(Yeah yeah, i guess this will be the last time anyone will ever see me ranting about RadeonSI)
Here are my results with radeonsi on my 7770.
This little thing impressed me actually, beating some of the higher end cards even with catalyst in some benchmarks. (I'm not going to bother testing catalyst right now)

The weather outside was frightful, but inside the Watertown (S.D.) Convention Center was so delightful — thanks to the warm hospitality of NWTF South Dakota volunteers.
I spent last weekend with a few dozen of them at their annual state convention, where they handed out awards for awesomeness in volunteerism and events. I served as the keynote speaker, did a seminar on communicating with nonhunters, and spread general goodwill on behalf of the NWTF headquarters staff. It was an easy task with this great group of folks.
It began when the Schauer Family picked me up from the Sioux Falls airport, saving this Southern gal a potential stroke of having to drive in below freezing temps, dodging ice patches or waiting for pending doom as the snow crept in.
They said, "South Dakota volunteers are like family." I found that to be true as they instantly took me in and made me one of their own for a few days. I felt like an exchange student from the other "South" state.
But the family vibe was even more evident watching the volunteers interact with each other. They spent just as much time encouraging each other and pitching in to help, as they did ribbing and poking fun in a good-natured way. Looks like a family reunion to me, no?
I found it wonderful how so many "flesh and blood" families came to the convention as well, proving the NWTF offers something for everyone. Among the training seminars on turkey hunting and NWTF events, the Bramble Park Zoo brought in critters for kids of all ages (like me) to pet and get a closer look — a hedge hog, bearded dragon and, ew, snakes, to name a few.
Conference planners also offered a visit to renowned artist and son of Watertown Terry Redlin's museum. I slipped in and took a fast-forward tour of the three levels of original art and prints, thanks to my NWTF sister Becky Schauer hauling my tail over there between speaking engagements.
I'm thinking this Dakota didn't get its "prefix" based on geography; it's because it gives the South (as in Dixie) a run for its money on hospitality.
Thanks, South Dakota NWTF, for a great weekend. And I'll be thinking of you until spring comes and thaws out your awesome state — and brings turkey season your way.

Twin Virtues: Inequality of Outcomes & Equality of Opportunity©

The personalized option is a third sales channel offering your shoppers a better online experience than the standard 'click and search' because it mimics the real world shopping experience while showing them what they are most likely to be interested in.
Twin Virtues
Ultimately, the most successful societies find the balance between the twin virtues of inequality of outcomes and equality of opportunity.
The new politics must marry the twin virtues of unequal outcomes and equality of opportunity.
When too few get too much everybody loses.
Feminism is about women living their lives on their own terms, marshaling the resources of the society to make that possible, and men embracing this as vital to a successful society and their own liberation.
Can it be that striving for equality of opportunity however imperfect the process not only benefits the individual but also creates benefits for the society that are unintended but wonderful?
Economics must be a 'moral enterprise' as much as politics claims to be. Economic outcomes need to be framed in terms of right and wrong not just efficiency if only because these often align in surprising ways that are good for society and the economy.
My vision of Canada is that any Canadian child from a family of limited circumstance can expect to have a chance at lifetime of unlimited opportunities.
Tax policy should be founded on the principle of generating steady tax revenues sufficient to maximise environmentally sustainable economic growth in order to fund fair government.
Public policy should be designed to decrease inequality before the law and increase equality of opportunity.
Capitalism is not the problem; the problem is what we do with capitalism.
Content is always more difficult to argue than conspiracy.
Let the state regulate and the market operate (most things).
Welfare strategies are best designed as a hand up, not as a hand out.
Political debate should not be fact free fighting.
Explanation lasts longer than eloquence.
Always favour empowerment over dependency.
The most enduring public figures are embraced for the causes they fought for and not the concept of themselves they hoped others would remember them by.
Find your voice and don't be the echo of somebody else.
It is possible to operate on two different levels: the practical, cautious and conservative; and the realm of ideas, open, free, and radical.

Washington, D.C., 25 March 2013 (PAHO/WHO) — The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO), welcomes the announcement that the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil will be tobacco free.
Fans and players at the 2014 games will benefit from 100% smoke- and tobacco-free environments following WHO's recommendations, announced FIFA and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) in Brazil on March 7.
"This decision will mean a healthier environment for athletes, staff, and soccer fans from Brazil and around the world," said PAHO Director Dr. Carissa F. Etienne. "It also means that one of the world's most important sporting events will not be a venue for promoting tobacco use. We commend FIFA for its concern about the health of soccer fans everywhere."
The tobacco ban applies to games in the 12 Brazilian cities that are hosting the 2014 World Cup as well as to the FIFA Confederations Cup games, being held in six Brazilian cities on 15–30 June 2013. It applies to both indoor and outdoor spaces within the perimeters of each participating stadium and means that no smoking, no sales of cigarettes or other tobacco products, and no tobacco advertising, promotion or sponsorship will be allowed at the games.
"Besides a smoke-free environment, a tobacco-free World Cup means the tobacco industry cannot use its deceptive marketing tactics to recruit new smokers among the thousands of young fans who attend the games," said Adriana Blanco, PAHO/WHO's top tobacco control advisor. "It supports the trend of tobacco-free mega-events and helps advance social change toward rejection of tobacco."
Globally, tobacco kills an estimated 6 million people each year, 1 million of them in the Americas. In the last century, some 100 million people died from tobacco-related causes. In addition to lung cancer, tobacco is a cause of 12 other cancers and is a risk factor for many serious health problems, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Tobacco is the only legal consumer product that kills when used exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
Starting with the 2002 World Cup games in Korea and Japan, the last four FIFA World Cups have been tobacco-free. FIFA's tobacco-free policy was developed with support from WHO, which is also providing operational guidelines for the policy's implementation.
"This is part of a very positive trend in the Americas and the world," said Blanco. "We see major sporting events going tobacco-free, including the Olympic games and the World Cup. It also reflects Brazil's strong record of leadership, as a country, in implementing tobacco control."
"The decision to make Brazil 2013 and Brazil 2014 tobacco-free is a natural step in the history of our flagship events," said FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke in making the announcement. "FIFA and the LOC are proud of once again following the recommendations of the World Health Organization in this regard. FIFA recognizes that tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke are harmful and supports WHO's global efforts with a genuine interest in promoting health and security."
PAHO, founded in 1902, is the oldest international public health organization in the world. It works with its member countries to improve the health and the quality of life of the people of the Americas.
Tobacco Facts
- Tobacco kills nearly 6 million people every year, including 1 million in the Americas.
- Tobacco is the only legal product that kills up to half of its consumers when used exactly as intended by the manufacturer.
- Tobacco not only harms smokers, it also affects the health of children and adults exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke.
- Second-hand smoke exposure increases the risks of heart attack and lung cancer in adults and sudden infant death syndrome, among other diseases.
- Tobacco costs the global economy US$200 billion every year.
