Enjoy the Northeast's most spectacular beach and follow trails and boardwalks through a landscape of sand dunes and salt marsh.
What makes Crane Beach a special place?
At Crane Beach, you'll enjoy one of the finest beaches and outdoor recreation destinations on the East Coast. With its clean, inviting water, miles of shoreline, and mesmerizing views, Crane Beach has been a favorite with the ocean-loving public for generations. Whether you intend to take a refreshing plunge, play in the sand, or just soak up the sun, this unparalleled seaside experience is sure to provide lots of fun – and great memories, too.
There's more to see here than sun and sand. Crane Beach is managed for both recreation and conservation – people and ecology – through careful planning. More than five miles of trails wind through coastal dunes here, which shield inland areas from storm waves and flooding. And, Castle Neck is the site of the North Shore's largest pitch pine forest.
Crane Beach is also among the world's most important nesting sites for piping plovers, a threatened bird that was nearly hunted to extinction in the 19th century for its eggs and feathers. Crane Beach has been nationally recognized for its successful shorebird protection program. To protect these threatened shorebirds, we ask that you avoid the fenced nesting areas and the wrack, the line of washed-up organic debris where the birds feed and hide.
5.5 miles of trails traverse dunes and track the beachfront on both the Ipswich Bay and Essex River Estuary sides of the Castle Neck peninsula. Moderate hiking. These trails are part of the Bay Circuit Trail.

Greenhead Flies Advisories
Greenheads are biting horseflies. Greenhead fly season at Crane Beach generally begins by July 11 and the flies are completely gone by the end of the first week in August. Fly intensity varies daily and they are frequently not present on the beachfront between July 11th and August 7th. Lifeguards, Beach Rangers, and other staff have long used an Avon product called "Skin So Soft" to keep the greenheads from biting. The "Skin So Soft" lotion is sold at the Crane Beach Snack Bar.
Please note that if you come to the beach during greenhead season and cannot tolerate the flies, we are not able to offer you a refund. (We also cannot offer refunds for weather, water temperature, or any other natural conditions of the property that are beyond our control.)
Lyme Disease Advisory
Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection transmitted to humans by the bite of an infested tick. Not all ticks carry Lyme Disease, so a tick bite does not necessarily expose one to the disease. Ticks are found primarily in wooded or brushy areas, not in dunes or on the beach. If you stay on elevated board walks and designated trails, the chance of encountering ticks is greatly reduced. Remember to check your skin carefully after you have been in areas where ticks are found. Lyme Disease can be treated effectively with antibiotic drugs. Symptoms of Lyme Disease include expanding, ring-like rash, fever, and flu-like illness. Advanced symptoms may include swelling and pain in joints. Early diagnosis and treatment is important. If you have been bitten by a tick and develop symptoms of Lyme Disease, contact your physician promptly.

Property History
In 1910, Richard T. Crane, Jr., purchased 800 acres on and around Castle Hill – the first of many family land acquisitions that eventually formed the 2,100-acre Crane Estate. The showpiece is the 59-room Stuart-style mansion called the Great House on Castle Hill.
Following Mr. Crane's death in 1945, the family gave 1,000 acres, comprising most of Crane Beach and the dunes of Castle Neck, to The Trustees of Reservations. When Richard's wife Florence died in 1949, her bequest added another 350 acres, the Great House, and most of Castle Hill. A quarter-century later, her daughter-in-law, Miné S. Crane, added the 680-acre Crane Wildlife Refuge.
The Great House and Castle Hill grounds are open for tours seasonally. To learn more, ask at the information kiosk or at the entrance gate house.
Property Acquisition History
Original acreage a gift of Mrs. Richard T. Crane, Jr. and members of the Crane family in 1945.

Poetry in Action
On a sunny morning in May, a flock of volunteers came out to Crane Beach and began stenciling words and phrases on stairs, shingles, and posts around the beach and picnic area.
The lines and phrases are part of a collaborative art project between The Trustees of Reservations and Montserrat College of Art in Beverly.
The words, from a poem titled "Align," are a call to action, urging each of us to think about the global crisis of climate change and recognize that the choices we make every day make a difference – for ourselves, for our children, for the planet.
We hope you'll visit Crane Beach this summer and find inspiration from this thoughtful graphic and poetic installation by Monsterrat faculty members Colleen Michaels, poet, and Shana Dumont, graphic designer.

Conservation and Stewardship
Management Planning for Our Properties
Since 1891, The Trustees of Reservations have worked to protect special places in Massachusetts and maintain them to the highest standards. To ensure these standards are met, a program of careful planning and sound management is essential. Comprehensive property management plans are created for each reservation and are completely updated approximately every ten years. We often work with volunteers, property users, and members of the community to carry out this planning, which typically involves several steps:
- Describing in detail the site's natural, scenic, and historical resources; identifying management issues related to the protection of those resources.
- Describing how visitors use the property; outlining the opportunities that the property provides for people to become involved in the work of conservation and caring for their community.
- Developing a detailed list of management recommendations, a work plan, and a description of financial needs for implementing the actions.
- Developing a prescribed routine management program for the reservation that will guide staff work plans, volunteer involvement, and the allocation of human and financial resources.
View Crane Beach management plan.
Crane Beach is managed for both conservation and recreation – wildlife and people. Of foremost importance is the protection of this natural resource. Crane Beach provides important habitat for numerous rare plants, invertebrates, mammals, birds, shellfish, and finfish.
- Dune Management Program. Sand dunes are very fragile and do not tolerate high levels of disturbance. Healthy dunes protect wildlife and diverse ecosystems and also provide storm damage protection to inland development. Restoration and protection of dunes at Crane Beach is accomplished through the use of elevated boardwalks, fencing, designated trails, and beach grass planting programs; all help to reduce erosion from wind and ocean waves. Visitors are encouraged to stay on designated trails.
- Wildlife Management Program. For many years, least terns and piping plovers have nested on Crane Beach. The piping plover is listed on the federal government's endangered list as a "threatened" species. Crane Beach is one of the most important nesting areas for this species in the world. Since the 1970s, The Trustees have managed an intensive shorebird protection program at Crane Beach to ensure that the feeding and nesting habits of terns, piping plovers, and other threatened shorebirds are not disturbed. You will see fenced nesting areas and are asked not to encroach upon them. You will also notice that organic debris (called wrack) washes up onto Crane Beach and is not removed because shorebirds feed on and seek cover in this debris; removal of debris could be considered a violation of state and federal coastal and endangered species regulations. The Trustees' Piping Plover Protection Program has been very successful and has received state and national acclaim.
- Public Health & Safety. Public health and safety is maintained at Crane Beach through regular beach patrols and emergency response and first aid staff on-site. With 7 miles of waterfront and more than 1,000 acres of dunes and upland, staff visibility on the property can be difficult. ATV's provide an efficient way to enforce regulations, locate lost children, provide public information, and assist with first aid.
Maps and Resources
Every car receives a free introductory pamphlet to Crane Beach. Literature about events at the Crane Estate, other Trustees properties to visit in the region, and membership in The Trustees of Reservations is available from the bulletin board and the beach office. We recommend that you download a trail map before you visit.
Private Functions
Steep Hill Beach (located at the western end of Crane Beach and at the base of Castle Hill) may be rented for corporate outings or weddings.

This is an example of how to replace a MetaClass to adjust the default behavior. Each groovy object has a metaClass that is used to manage the dynamic nature of the language. This class intercepts calls to groovy objects to ensure that the appropriate grooviness can be added. For example, when an object is constructed, the MetaClass's invokeConstructor()is called. One feature of the invokeConstructor allows us to create groovy objects using a map argument to set the properties of the object (new X([prop1: value1, prop2: value2])).
These solutions perform complete replacements, where as a more scoped solution can be found at Using the Proxy Meta Class.
InvokeHelper Solution
This technique installs the meta class at runtime using the InvokerHelper to gain access to the registry which allows us to change the meta class instance that is in use. The behaviour for objects created before the change depends on whether they are Java or Groovy objects. Groovy objects "cache" their metaclass, so once they're created, changing the registry has no effect. However, Java objects don't have a cache, so accesses to them always start with a trip to the registry, meaning any registry changes affect existing and new instances alike.
This sample code overrides the invokeMethod method to augment the behavior but there are other options that you can choose from like set and getAttribute, invokeStaticMethod and invokeConstructor. The complete list can be found in the Groovy's source release in "src/main/groovy/lang/DelegatingMetaClass.java".
Package Name Convention Solution
This second solution offers a more consistent augmentation of existing classes. There are no risks of unpredictable results from methods. The idea is that any package.class can have a custom meta class loaded at startup time by placing it into a well known package with a well known name.
So your class Foo in package "bar" could have a custom meta class FooMetaClass in package "groovy.runtime.metaclass.bar".
The following example shows how we can change the behavior of the String class. Firstly the custom meta class, similar to the implementation above except that it needs a MetaClassRegistry argument in its constructor.
The actual class that uses the enhanced features is now very simple. Notice that there are no extra imports or any work with the meta class. The mere package and name of the class tells the groovy runtime to use the custom meta class.
So what would happen if you used both techniques. Assume that the package convention class exists in your class path and you create and set another meta class. The answer is that the last setMetaClass that you did applies to the usages of all instance of the effected type.

Through the Ever Night
Through the Ever Night (Hardcover)
It's been months since Aria learned of her mother's death.
Months since Perry became Blood Lord of the Tides, and months since Aria last saw him.
Now Aria and Perry are about to be reunited. It's a moment they've been longing for with countless expectations. And it's a moment that lives up to all of them. At least, at fi rst. Then it slips away. The Tides don't take kindly to former Dwellers like Aria. And the tribe is swirling out of Perry's control. With the Aether storms worsening every day, the only remaining hope for peace and safety is the Still Blue. But does this haven truly exist?
Threatened by false friends and powerful temptations, Aria and Perry wonder, Can their love survive through the ever night? In this second book in her spellbinding Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi combines fantasy and sci-fi elements to create a captivating adventure—and a love story as perilous as it is unforgettable.

Vodacom Western Province have decided that Brent Russell will not play in the IRB Sevens tournament.
Russell, who was recently signed from the Sharks, was approached by Sevens coach Paul Treu to play in the first two legs of the tournament and had subsequently confirmed his availability while still contracted to the Sharks.
WP though have decided that the player will be better served preparing for the rigours of a Vodacom Super 14 campaign.
"I have discussed the matter with Brent and (CEO of WP Rugby) Rob Wagner," WP and Stormers coach Kobus van der Merwe told Beeld.
"We decided that Brent should rather have a good off-season during which he can work on his strength and conditioning. Therefore we won't make him available for the Sevens team."
Treu told keo.co.za that he envisioned Russell playing at flyhalf, where his elusive running and sharp decision making would bring an added attacking dimension to the side.
He then expressed his reservations about being able to mount a sustainable title challenge considering that key players like Jaco Pretorius, Gio Aplon and Ryan Kankowski are also unavailable for the tournament.
The Sevens squad assembled for their training camp in Cape Town yesterday where Treu lamented the loss of Russell.
"I know it's difficult for Brent. He is with a new union and does not want to disappoint them. That's how it goes in Sevens; always up and down."

On Monday morning we'll publish the answer in the comment section of this post.
On Monday morning we'll publish the answer in the comment section of this post.
False unless you somehow were able to share blood. But I may be wrong.
False. The disease is transmitted by mosquitos (or possibly if you were able to share blood, like from a cut maybe? dunno).
False. Malaria is transmitted only by an infected mosquito.
I agree with Vicki!
False – at least as far as any "conventional" means of transmission. However, it is a blood-borne pathogen so it can be transmitted through blood transfusions or through birth.
I don't know for sure, but from what I know about how it's transmitted, I would say false. I believe it can only be transmitted by infected mosquitos.
And the answer is …
Malaria is transmitted by certain types of mosquitoes that carry a parasite that causes the disease. A person contracts malaria when he or she is bitten by an infected mosquito.

malaria infection can only be transmitted from an infected female anopheles mosquito to a person

Caesar Salad Parmesan Cups
Sometimes simple recipes can produce elegant results. That's how I feel about these salad cups. Ever since I made Parmesan Crisps for my Roasted Tomato Basil Soup recipe, I've wanted to make them into cups (surprise, surprise…you know me and my muffin tins!). When I was thinking about what to put into the cups, Caesar salad was the first thing to pop into my head. I found a great light Caesar dressing recipe on Cooking Light and reduced the quantity and I think the tangy flavor works really well here. If you want to make these super easy you could always use your favorite light Caesar bottled dressing, but the one below is easy to throw together and really flavorful. These fancy little Caesar cups would be great as a first course at a dinner party, an appetizer, a side dish, or even just a fun snack. At only 47 calories each, you may want to eat them for all of the above!
Caesar Salad Parmesan Cups
Yield: 10 cups
- 3 oz Parmesan cheese, grated (freshly grated from a block, not the kind that comes in a can – use the small-hole side of a box cheese grater to grate your own)
- 3 tablespoons fat free plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon anchovy paste (omit if making this vegetarian)
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 4 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
- Preheat the oven to 300. Lightly mist a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Working in batches (I did 3-4 per baking sheet, so 3 batches) make 10 piles of 2 tablespoons of Parmesan each onto the parchment paper, leaving several inches in between. If there is extra Parmesan set it aside. With the back of a spoon, flatten each pile until evenly spread into a thin circle. Bake each tray on the middle rack in the oven for 3 - 3 ½ minutes until cheese is bubbly but not yet golden/crisp. Remove from oven and immediately life each cheese round off the sheet with a metal spatula and transfer it into a cup in the prepared muffin tin. Use your fingers to push the cheese into the cup to shape it. When all 10 piles have been transferred to the muffin tin, place the tin into the oven and back the cups for an additional 5 minutes or until the cups are golden and crispy. Allow the cups to cool for a minute and then remove them from the tin to cool.
- While the cups are baking, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, Dijon mustard, pepper and garlic in a bowl and whisk together until thoroughly combined. In a large bowl, combine the dressing and lettuce together and toss to coat.
- When the Parmesan cups have cooled, fill each one with about ¼ cup of the dressed salad and sprinkle any remaining grated Parmesan over the tops of the cups. Serve immediately.
You can store the Parmesan cups in a Ziploc or airtight container in the refrigerator for several days. Only dress the portion of salad you plan to use and store any leftover dressing, lettuce and Parmesan cups separately. Assemble as needed.

In 1923 the Virginia General Assembly accepted a gift which would lead to an international investigation and administrative embarrassment 15 years later. The gift was a 300-year-old portrait of none other than "first Captain and practical founder of the State of Virginia" Captain John Smith. Or was it? The painting depicts a bearded man wearing a fur-trimmed hat and elaborately embroidered coat, flanked above by putti (chubby male children) holding pelts and below by snarling lions. The portrait was presented to the General Assembly by 15 prominent Virginians including John Stewart Bryan, Fairfax Harrison, and Eppa Hunton Jr.
The portrait was purchased for $1,000 in 1923 through the London-based firm of B.F. Stevens and Brown, "experts in Americana." The painting subsequently hung in the Governor's Office, where it remained until the U.S. Ambassador to Argentina, Alexander W. Weddell, studied the painting while editing the book A Memorial Volume of Virginia Historical Portraiture, 1585-1830. Weddell believed the portrait to be that of "the half-mad son of Lady Mary Wortley Montague, who was known to have walked about London in Oriental garb." Weddell discussed the portrait with the director of the National Portrait Gallery in London, H. M. Hake, who found the original engraving which the Commonwealth's portrait was modeled after–and it is of little surprise that it was not of John Smith.… read more »

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help confirm a diagnosis of anaphylaxis, mastocytosis, or mast cell activation
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms such as flushing, nausea, throat swelling or low blood pressure that may be due to a life-threatening allergic reaction; sometimes when your doctor suspects that you have mastocytosis or mast cell activation
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a 24-hour urine collection
Test Preparation Needed?
None for anaphylaxis, but timing of the sample very soon after the beginning of symptoms is important. If testing is done for other conditions, you may be instructed to refrain from taking antihistamine and other medications. This should be discussed with your doctor.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Histamine is a substance that is released from specialized cells called mast cells when they are activated, often as part of an allergic immune response. This test measures the amount of histamine in the blood or urine.
Mast cells are large tissue cells found throughout the body. They are present mainly in the skin, the lining of the intestine and air passages, and the bone marrow. Mast cells are part of the body's normal response to injury as well as allergic (hypersensitivity) responses. They contain granules that store a number of chemicals, including histamine and tryptase, which are released when mast cells become activated. Histamine is responsible for many of the symptoms in persons with allergies.
Concentrations of histamine in the blood and urine are normally very low. Significant increases can be seen in people with a severe allergic reaction and in those with a disorder in which the number of mast cells increase (proliferate) and/or activate without apparent allergies.
The activation of many mast cells is associated with a severe form of acute allergic reaction termed anaphylaxis, which can cause hives (blisters on the skin), reddening of the skin (flushing), low blood pressure, severe narrowing of the air passages, and even death. With anaphylaxis, histamine concentrations in the blood increase rapidly, rising within 10 minutes of the start of symptoms and returning to normal within about 30 to 60 minutes. This increased production is also reflected a short time later in the urine as histamine and its primary metabolite, N-methylhistamine, are excreted.
Histamine and tryptase levels may be persistently increased in people with mastocytosis. This rare condition is associated with abnormal proliferation of mast cells and their infiltration and accumulation in the skin (cutaneous mastocytosis) and/or in organs throughout the body (systemic mastocytosis).
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. For a 24-hour urine collection, all of the urine should be saved for a 24-hour period. It is best to keep the sample in a cool, dark place such as a refrigerator.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
If anaphylaxis is suspected, it is important to collect the sample very soon after the beginning of symptoms. If testing is done for other conditions, you may be instructed to refrain from taking antihistamine and other medications. This should be discussed with your doctor.

Loved this wig at one time, not anymore.
By Debbie
from Missouri
I have worn this wig for years, but the last few I have purchased have been really really small, almost child size and the color has been very bad. Don't know what has happened to the wig that I once loved but am now looking for a new style because Beth is no longer a good wig.

Beth has a disappointing new supplier
By Carol
from Illinois
About Me Minimalist
I have worn Beth for years. It was natural looking and versatile. The last Beths I ordered (both Whisperlite and the original) were from a different supplier. They were HORRIBLE! The style was shaggier and frizzier. The Captivating color was very polyester blond on top and all dark on the bottom. It screamed FAKE! I am extremely disappointed.

Beth and Whisper Lite Beth
By Linda S.
from Houston, TX
Purchased the Whisper Lite Beth thinking it would be just like the regular Beth. Bought 4 and only trimmed 2. This looks like it has had a slight perm. Very, very disappointed. Have been wearing the Beth wig for over ten years. Was coming apart when it was received, i.e. big chunks of hair missing, not sewn together well.

But what about its defense?
Oh, yeah, right, the Stallions usually have a solid bunch who'll hit you and can run, but — quick now — name the last great Southwest defensive player, and exactly who's running the show on that side of the ball?
A guy named Tommy Barnes, whom you might know more readily as the boys' basketball coach at Southwest or, if you know your history, as a 1,000-yard running back at
At practice you can identify the 50-year-old Barnes with your eyes closed by his high-pitched voice that resonates from end zone to end zone and into the woods beyond. Open your eyes and he's the ultra-energetic guy who is forever encouraging and cajoling the Stallions — and occasionally penalizing them with up-downs for not giving their all.
"Tommy's definitely the more vocal motivator," Padgett said.
Barnes put it another way.
"I'm probably the slave driver of 'em all," said Barnes, a characterization he later backed away from slightly. "I'm getting on them. I know the kids probably get tired of me sometimes. I'm the one that pushes them and makes them do what they're supposed to and make sure they're where they're supposed to be, and the rest they're kind of laid back to a certain degree. But I'm the grinder of it all.
"When I first started coaching I didn't have the assistants that I needed, but as the years went by coach has brought in guys that helped out and that showed me some things, and that helped me mature. I don't know about X's and O's a whole lot, but I do know you've got to be fundamentally sound.
"If you don't tackle well, if you don't get off blocks, if you don't have the desire to get to the ball, it ain't going to make a difference what you're in because you're not going to get the job done. I believe you've got to be fundamentally sound and you've got to be simple and you just got to let them play."
As Barnes pointed out, it's a team effort on defense, starting with "good athletes" and then adding "good guys, good coaches" who ably assist Barnes and are a big reason why the Stallions will play Saturday for the NCHSAA 1-AA state title against
It is, however, an interesting mix on the sidelines.
You have two ex-head coaches — one of whom Barnes worked under — and a third (Charlie Dempsey) who was an offensive lineman at
Barnes has never been a head football coach and insisted he has no desire to be one, although he was the acting head coach this year with Padgett laid up after a medical procedure and having to listen on the radio to the Stallions' 24-20 win over
Barnes, who oversees the secondary as well as being defensive coordinator, was David McLeod's defensive coordinator in the mid 1980s, and today McLeod is Barnes' right-hand man with the Stallions.
McLeod, who oversees the linebackers and is the staff's (combined) version of Siskel and Ebert when it comes to critiquing film, has been the head coach at Central Harnett High and defensive coordinator at Jacksonville High as well as serving as a graduate assistant at ECU.
Jeff Whitehead, who coaches defensive ends, is a former
And just for good measure the guy whom McLeod communicates with from the press box via the headsets (Tommy Gagnon) played for him at
"They've done a fantastic job for many, many years for me," Padgett said. "We've got several (coaches) you could say are unsung. Obviously, the head coach gets get too much credit as it is. But there's no doubt about it, they do a lot of the dirty work that no one knows about that they just think happens on Friday nights. Believe me, it doesn't."
While the defensive staff is a foursome, arguably the relationship between Barnes and the 51-year-old McLeod is the key.
"They fit together like a puzzle," Padgett said.
Make no mistake about it, Barnes is the boss. But he's the kind of boss who wants to hear everybody's opinion and then he makes a decision based on his staff's input and his own. He appreciates McLeod's experience and a work ethic that includes his critique of film of the next opponent.
"He brings a lot to the table," Barnes said. "He's like a defensive coordinator."
McLeod said he and Barnes, as well as Dempsey and Whitehead, come up with a defensive game plan as "a collaboration of all of us."
"We just work well together," he added, pointing to the game plan in Southwest's 35-13 win at James Kenan in the NCHSAA 1-AA East Regional final in which McLeod said all four defensive assistants had a hand in the scheme.
Along with, McLeod added, "a little twist" from Padgett himself.
Some coaches might have a problem with the role reversal McLeod finds himself in with Barnes, but McLeod insisted in his dozen years at Southwest he could think of only one "issue" between the friends.
"And it didn't have anything to do with football," McLeod said. "I wasn't his boss (at
"I tell you what's funny now. We're so different. He's black. I'm white. (But) we think a lot alike when it comes to football. There's been many times we've looked at each other and said, 'That's so weird because that's exactly what I was thinking.'
"It's as if we can read each other's mind. We think a lot alike. We're a good team."
And a big reason why Southwest is as well.

Hunk and a Half
I do a fair amount of causal hiking through the metro park system. They keep my feet dry and comfortable. I highly recommend these. They are true to size and get the job done on more adventurous days. The only con is that I wish they came in darker colors, brown isn't my favorite. Other than that, they have great traction, and I find myself rather invincible when I wear them. They have great ankle support as well. No complaints here.
I love these boots. Great ankle support, great traction, and just great overall quality.I have horrible balance, but the story offered with these boots helps a ton. I've done several trips with these and they're still going strong. I use them for everything from hiking to approaching a climb. Will buy them again when the time comes.
First, I really enjoy these boots. They have a high ankle support which I really need and they aren't bulky. I wore them around for several hours around town and house to see if I liked them. When I first put them on I thought the arch in the right boot would be a problem, it wasn't. So I took them to the mountain. Usually half way up my legs start getting tired from my old boots, but not with these. There was good breathability, stability, comfort and grip. Although I could feel the rocks under the soles, I didn't feel like anything was going to come through the bottoms, very flexable. They stayed tied tight the entire way and down and kept my ankle in line. I also wore normal socks you would wear with tennis shoes, so I can't say which hiking socks work best.I normally wear a 10, but with boots a 9 1/2 worked best.
Have been using these boots all over New Zealand for the past 4 months and they've exceeded my expectations on every trip. Recently did the Tongariro Crossing and 5 days through Abel Tasman National Park and they were fantastic. Super comfortable, light and stayed dry even when submerged almost ankle high in water, mud, sludge, sand, food spills, etc. Overall a good boot. Very happy with them, for the price you can't go wrong.
I recently just completed a two day hike with this boot where I was hiking over 12 miles a day. The boot kept my feet cool thanks to the mesh and dry thanks to the gore tex, which also keeps out sand. My feet tend to get very hot easily, but this boot kept them cool and comfortable throughout the hike. It worked great on hills and in sand. It also works great through puddles and muck. It kept my feet comfortable and dry providing support where they needed it.
These boots are comfortable even in a long day of use. This is the first pair of boots I found to have this kind of support. They are tight enough to keep my feet from shifting, and still roomy enough for comfort. In really hot days, my feet stay cool. When walking on the lake in the winter, my feet stay dry. The daunting search for a good pair of hiking boots is over! Word to the wise: Make sure to wear them a few times to break them in before heading out on a long adventure and wear socks longer than the ankle height.
These boots are comfortable even in all day hikes. They fit snuggly enough to keep my foot from shifting around, but never feel too tight. On hot days, my feet stay cool. I've even worn them in the winter for longer walks on the ice... my feet stay dry. Word to the wise: wear them around a bit before you have to be in them all day, and wear socks that are longer than the ankle of the boot.
I literally bought this pair the day before I took off to hike in Glacier national park. It worked like charm without any breaking in! The soles are supportive, tough and yet comfortable. It was a definitely must have to hike 10 miles a day on all of those rocky trails! I can't quite command on how breathable they are... It's simply because I have sweaty feet, unless I'm wearing foot flops, my feet are going to get hot. But these boots definitely kept my feet dry during the whole trip, even with my foot completely immersed in the stream water. The best part is: I totally see myself wear it everyday once the weather gets cold!
These boots survived four years of college backpacking trips on school breaks and a summer working as a hiking camp counselor. They are super comfortable and form to your foot. I have very small narrow feet and these were great! By the end, the tread was pretty much shot, one of the lace loops broke and the mesh was coming off, but I'm already planning on another pair. These shoes were dearly loved and endured a lot and never ONCE gave me blisters.

Keith Urban Makes Us Wanna Go Country – The Daily Swoon
Country music: It's all, "She broke my heart so I drank a beer in my blue jeans with my dog." Or is it? Keith Urban has us rethinking our opinions on the genre.
Okay, here's the deal: No one can get away with this hair cut and tribal tattoos in 2013, and yet, I find myself going against everything I believe in because there is no question about it — Keith Urban is fiiiiine. He's a judge on 'American Idol,' but again, I overlook this, and you should too, because he is seriously cute.
Don't believe me? The guy is married to Nicole Kidman. NICOLE KIDMAN. That is a woman with sophistication and taste. We should trust her judgment here.
Urban, believe it or not, is actually Australian, just like his actress wifey. This is probably why his country music sounds better than some other country music — he knows about more stuff than just mixing Bud Light with tomato juice and Wrangler jeans.
It's possible I'm a little biased about disliking country because I live in the south and grew up with it, but that's why you should listen when I say this guy actually makes some solid music.
And he's really hot. That's indisputable fact, and it shouldn't take me to tell you.

Parabens are commonly used as a preservative in cosmetic products like shaving cream, shampoo and makeup to keep bacteria from forming. Parabens have been used in cosmetics for a number of years, and the most commonly used varieties are methylparaben, propylparaben and butylparaben.
The Food and Drug Administration regulates all ingredients in cosmetics and has found that parabens exist in most cosmetic products within a very small range (0.01 to 0.3 percent). The FDA has determined that at this amount parabens did not represent a risk to consumers.
Recent studies have discovered parabens in breast tumors due to the chemicals' ability to behave in a fashion similar to estrogen. Despite this, the studies have not demonstrated a link between parabens and breast cancer. At this time, the FDA has not issued any warnings about parabens being in products.

Not since the early days of the sport has a single goggle design brought so much innovation. Long ago, our founder developed and entirely new goggle that became a mainstay in the sport for 17 years. You are now looking at the future of MX goggles.
Oakley Airbrake MX is the new standard of protection, clarity, comfort and convenience.
This is the first-ever MX goggle with a lens made of injection-molded Plutonite. That's the most optically pure lens material ever utilized for MX goggles, and it's insanely tough. Oakley Plutonite is the same ultra-tough material that shields the eyes of soldiers who can't compromise on protection, and compared to the flimsy, flexible lenses found in other goggles, Airbrake MX makes you invincible.
Switchlock Technology:
Riders have to be ready to face whatever conditions Mother Nature throws down. That's why Airbrake MX is armed with Oakley's Switchlock Technology. It makes the process of lens changing fast and hassle-free — no more fumbling around to swap out a lens. When a lens is locked securely into the rigid O Matter frame, there is no bending or warping like inferior designs that distort vision. And Switchlock Technology lets you take advantage of our full armory of premium lens tints. From daytime practice laps to the nighttime main event, you can match your lens tint and adapt your vision perfectly to any environment.
Now let's talk clarity. Ordinary MX lenses are stamped from flat sheets of generic material then bent to fit into the goggle frame, and the result of that warping is visual distortion. Safety and performance demand true, accurate vision, so we injection-mold the lenses under extreme pressure to achieve a precise optical geometry. That means you see more detail, and you can believe what your eyes are telling you. It's the ultimate in clarity and optical fidelity.
Field of Vision:
When a rider is on the track, he needs to be aware of who might be challenging his position. That's why this sleek design extends peripheral vision to the absolute max. Airbrake MX also offers an optimized fit that takes into account the vertical frame orientation when the rider is in racing position — with bent elbows and crouched over the bars — positioning the lens up and in front of the eyes
This goggle is the culmination of every breakthrough we've made, including three decades of refinement in comfort and fit. It features an exoskeleton frame, with a durable yet lightweight O Matter exterior mated to a flexible urethane faceplate. The rigid outer frame holds the lens securely, and a pliable inner faceplate with plush, absorbent foam conforms to your face like it was made just for you.
We engineered this goggle for instant adaptability, and that goes beyond Switchlock inter-changeable lens technology. Airbrake MX is the Swiss Army knife of goggles. You can easily swap out replacement faceplates, outrigger configurations, and straps. It's fully adaptable, configurable, serviceable. This is truly the one goggle that can do it all.

Snohomish boys soccer prevail in OT over rival Lake Stevens
Snohomish outlasts Wesco 4A North rival Lake Stevens 4-3

The Panthers didn't panic after an early 2-0 deficit. They weren't fazed when Lake Stevens tied the score in the 63rd minute.
And when overtime started, Snohomish wasn't worried.
Blake Crutchfield needed about two minutes of overtime to score the game's seventh goal Tuesday night, this one giving the Panthers a 4-3 win in a constant rain at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Like his players, Snohomish head coach Dan Pingrey said he was never concerned.
"No. This is a good team. We really are," Pingrey said. "We've played three really tough matches. ? When it's all said and done these guys can sort it out."
Lake Stevens struck first with a goal by Marcus Edward just eight minutes into the match. The Vikings' James Tanner got the ball, dribbled down the field and passed it off to Edward, who got past the Snohomish defenders and gave Lake Stevens the early lead.
The Vikings added another goal on a 25-yard free kick by John Erickson in the 25th minute.
Snohomish responded with a goal by Jose Gaspar less than a minute later. Crutchfield shot the ball at the goal and it was deflected by Vikings' goalkeeper Brennen Countryman, but Gaspar was there to boot the deflection back into the net.
The Panthers tied it up in the 34th minute when Tyler Mayer scored the first of his two goals, collecting the ball after it bounced off a Lake Stevens defender. Halftime came with score 2-2.
"They started out rough and ultimately they came back," Pingrey said of his players. "At halftime we said, 'Okay, we're at 0-0. Reset. Let's go from there.'"
Snohomish scored its third consecutive goal in the 55th minute when Mayer got behind the Vikings' defense and took a pass from Dekotah Keough. The Panthers' first lead ended eight minutes later after Erickson scored his second goal of the game on a penalty kick for Lake Stevens.
The 3-3 score held for the rest of regulation and about two minutes into overtime when Crutchfield got the ball in a crowd of players in front of the Lake Stevens' net and scored the game-winner.
"I told the guys I don't care how it goes in the net," Pingrey said. "If we're putting balls in and you get deflections on shots, that's how you get opportunities. They took advantage of that."
Snohomish received an advantage in the 68th minute, when a Lake Stevens player was given two yellow cards -- resulting in a red card -- and sent off the field. The Viking player intentionally drop kicked a ball a long distance away after a whistle had been blown, and then argued with the referee afterwards resulting in the penalty.
Pingrey said that having a one-man advantage certainly helped his team, but he was leery because he thinks something like that can rally the team that was just penalized.
"I've played in enough and coached enough games where the team down often has an advantage because now they've got a reason to fight," Pingrey said. "You saw that. They're going to play and they're going to play hard. They came out attacking right away, even though they were a man down."
The Vikings continued to attack until Crutchfield, a Panthers' sophomore forward, ended the game 2 minutes and 17 seconds into the extra period.
Snohomish (3-0 league, 4-0 overall) was able to fend off the Lake Stevens (1-1, 1-1-2) attack, and remain undefeated. The game was just another early season test for the Panthers, going against their division rival for the first time.
"It's always huge. Games like this," Pingrey said. "These are big-time rivalries. We've had some good results. ? This year we've come up against some good physical teams and done well. This is a great test. Obviously, we'll take the result and that can make a huge difference at the end of the year."
While the game was exciting for fans, Pingrey wasn't thrilled that his team allowed Lake Stevens three goals. Still, he said he'll take it as long as Snohomish comes out on top.
"These kind of games are fun for the fans. I don't like seeing three goals (scored) against us -- we take a little bit of pride, we take a lot of pride in getting a (shutout)," Pingrey said with a smile. "Obviously, tonight that didn't happen. But the win's still a good feeling."

Gray Malin
A beautiful image of Bolivia, featuring a pair of llamas wearing black and white balloons. Under the mentorship of Bolivian photographer Gastón Ugalde, Gray Malin shot this "Far Far Away" series in the largest salt flat in the world, Salar de Uyuni, which expands nearly 5,000 square miles and sits at 12,000 feet in elevation. The conditions are ideal for photography: the color temperature reaches an intense 7,000 kelvins, making all objects appear brighter than the eye normally sees.
The image is presented in its raw form. This open form of photography lets the viewer enjoy the otherworldly beauty of the landscape.

If there's an industry that demands executives to be in continual learning mode, it's technology. And Eric Openshaw finds being in that constant state of renewal invigorating. "If you decide to rest on your laurels, in about six months you have a half life and 12 months later you're out of business. That's not me. I'm a learner. I never stop."
That commitment has taken Eric from his childhood in Glendora, California to university, and eventually to Deloitte where he is now vice chairman and U.S. Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) leader for the firm's TMT industry group in the Americas. Eric's 30-plus years of experience has focused on assisting clients with enterprise transformation; business process reengineering; manufacturing/distribution strategy; technology strategy; merger and acquisition analysis and post-acquisition consolidation; order fulfillment; supply chain; information systems strategic planning; technology (hardware and software) evaluation; and design-development and implementation of software primarily for discrete and process manufacturing distribution, retail, and retail distribution.
"What I've learned over the years is that it's not so much whether any idea of mine is ultimately accepted, but that I had an idea and was willing to share it that clients appreciate."
Eric brings to his work a practicality that comes from his father's Depression-era mindset and coming of age in a town described as "the Midwest moved west." His dad was a carpenter and homebuilder who taught Eric woodworking skills. Every summer, from the seventh grade on, he'd be in the front seat of his dad's pickup at 6 a.m. to work construction with him.
That practical streak had him decide to study marketing and accounting as an undergrad at California State University, Fullerton. "My father said that through all the recessions and the Depression two people seem to be able to stay employed—accountants and sales people. I wanted to hedge my bets." Usually working two or three jobs to get through college in the early '70s, Eric got experience in sales at a sporting goods company and in computers as a computer operator.
"I was in the right place at the right time," Eric recalls. "I was learning computer systems at nights and on weekends and I was getting an education in marketing and accounting. So, I had a unique skill set. Following graduation, he took those skills to Burroughs (now Unisys) to sell and install minicomputers. He returned to school at the California Polytechnic Institute in Pomona to complete additional course work in accounting. He entered the world of professional services with Peat Marwick (KPMG) and quickly rose to Partner and later he was with Oracle for a couple of years.
In 1996, a close friend suggested he join Deloitte. A year later he came on board as a principal to build Deloitte's Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) practice in the western U.S. Within two months he closed one of Deloitte's largest ERP projects—followed by several other strategic projects to the newly formed practice. Eric moved up as manufacturing regional industry leader and in 2002 was asked to build a national high tech practice.
If Eric has a strong practical side, he also brings to his clients the creativity of an artist. You'd think that someone who designs and builds cabinetry would be focused on precision and accuracy. And he is, but he also says that some of his most enjoyable projects are free form. "I just get a conceptualized idea in my head of what I think something ought to look like and then start in with a willingness to experiment along the way to see how it comes together." And, that's not just woodworking he's talking about. "This goes for clients, too, particularly in the strategy area we develop hypotheses and go about proof points, proving or disproving the hypothesis and then refining and moving on. It's called 'exploring the unknown' and I think that's really fun, too."
When Eric's not working or building furniture he enjoys participating in Deloitte's active HOG chapter. Yes, he rides Harley Davidsons. He's also been known to wrench on a few cars and he has a considerable wine collection. And, with two—now grown—kids, he spent a lot of years coaching Little League and soccer. "I can't wait for grandchildren to show up so I can live the dream all over again," Eric says.
In the meantime, he's happily pursuing a career at Deloitte that he says gives him the opportunity to think about issues going on around the world; new technologies being developed; and different markets being created, changed, or morphed. "I can start to connect those dots, those patterns, and bring them to clients," he says.
"If there's one thing I can impart to partners whom I have a chance to leave an impression on during my career here or who follow my footsteps, it's that having something to say is not synonymous with having the only right thing to say. If you're thoughtful and you care, people figure it out pretty fast."

Lana Del Rey Biography & News
Lana Del Rey Details

About Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey looks to 2015 tour
Lana Del Rey has been a very busy woman in 2014. In fact, her calendar has been jam packed since it was announced back in January that she would be covering the song "Once Upon a Dream" for the feature film "Maleficent." The following month, she posted a picture of herself and Dan Auerbach on Twitter with the caption, "Me and Dan Auerbach are excited to present you with "Ultraviolence." That turned out to be the title to hear brand new album.
Del Rey and Auerbach had actually been rumored to be working together at Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, and he was said to be producing the album. Then in March, Rufus Wainwright revealed that he was also working with Del Rey. And a month after that came the release of the first single from the album, "West Coast." It was followed by the release of "Shades of Cool" in May, and two more cuts (including the title track) were also released before the album dropped on June 13.
"Ultraviolence" debuted at number one in twelve countries, including the United States and United Kingdom. The album sold more than 880,000 copies in its first week, worldwide, and in short order Rolling Stone revealed that Del Rey would also be a guest on Brian Wilson's studio album "No Pier Pressure."
It was also just announced that two brand new songs by Del Rey, "Big Eyes" and "I Can Fly", will be featured in Tim Burton's 2014 biographical film "Big Eyes," which focuses on the American artist Margaret Keane. Finally, on December 1st, Del Rey announced she will be headlining a tour in summer 2015, with at least eight of the shows set to feature Courtney Love.
A Year to Remember for Lana Del Ray (Updated 1/23/14)
Perhaps Lana Del Rey hasn't put music on the back burner after all. And why should she now? As it turns out, 2013 was a banner year for the young starlet, whose third EP, "Paradise," spawned her second top tem album in the U.S., debuting at number 10 on the Billboard 200 with some 67,000 copies sold in its first week alone.
Not bad for a girl who was ultimately looking to focus more on a film career. Sure, her music has praised for its cinematic sound and references to pop culture. Yes, she draws influence from the likes of Elvis Presley, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Nirvna, Bruce Springsteen and so many more. She's clearly reaped the benefits of doing her own thing. That's why she won the Q Award for "Best New Thing," a BRIT Award for "International Breakthrough Act" and yet another for "International Pop Female Solo Artist."
Did we mention that 2013 was also Lana's year to score her first Grammy nominations? They came in the categories for Best Pop Vocal Album for "Paradise" and Best Song Written for Visual Media for "Young and Beautiful."
Though Del Rey was "snubbed" by the Motion Picture Academy for a potential Oscar nomination for "Young and Beautiful" (which appeared on the soundtrack to "The Great Gatsby"), she has other events already penciled into her calendar for 2014. In fact, the neo-torch singer will perform at this year's Coachella Festival, it was recently announced. She is part of a huge list of performers for the three-day, two-weekend festival to be held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California on April 11, 12 and 13. The entire festival repeats the following weekend, April 18-20.
Her music wasn't 'Born to Die' (Created March 20, 2014)
Lana Del Ray has lived well beyond her years, coincidentally packing her heart and soul into an album she would call "Born to Die." That release came in January 2012, but the story of Lana and the puzzle pieces of her life fit together in a much more complicated way.
Now a singer, songwriter and Vogue cover girl, the childhood of Lana (born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant) is in stark contrast to the fame she now enjoys. By age 14 she was dealing with an alcohol dependency, had been sent away to boarding school and ultimately attended Fordham University in New York City to study metaphysics. Picking up her first guitar ultimately changed the course her life would take from there on out.
Grant began performing in clubs around New York City under various names, including her birth name, as well as Sparkle Rope Jump Queen and Lizzy Grant and the Phenomena. At age 20, she signed a record contract for $10,000 and moved into a trailer park. When the album was shelved, she began working in homeless outreach, drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
It wasn't until fall 2011 that Grant rebranded herself as Lana Del Ray and signed a joint record deal with both Interscope Records and Polydor. It came after another false start (with 5 Point Records) and a full-length album that was quickly yanked from circulation. But the third time would prove to be the charm, as Lana put a few tracks on her YouTube channel. Her debut single, "Video Games," accumulated in excess of 20 million views in its first 5 months of upload, and by the time "Born to Die" was officially released in January 2012, Lana had her vision re-directed yet again.
Now partnered with NEXT Model Management agency and with dreams of pursuing a film career, Lana has made music just a small focus of her overall appeal. Her third EP, "Paradise," is currently being supported by a tour that will take her through France, Denmark, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Austria and many other countries in 2013.
