Current officeholder
The current chairman is Robert Powelson. The vice chairman is John F. Coleman. They serve alongside Tyrone Christy, Wayne Gardner, and James Cawley.
Though the state constitution does not specifically create the public utility commission, it does allow for the addition of public officers in Article IV, Section 1:
All officers, whose selection is not provided for in this Constitution, shall be elected or appointed as may be directed by law.
There are no specific qualifications to serve on the Public Utility Commission.
Public Utility Commissioners are not elected in Pennsylvania. The Governor nominates candidates for approval by the state senate, and the senate confirms the nominations by a two-thirds majority before the candidates assume office. Commissioners serve staggered, five-year terms.
Article IV, Section 8 of the Pennsylvania Constitution grants the governor the power to appoint officers to fill vacancies. In the event of a vacancy in the office, the governor nominates a successor. This nomination must be made to the commonwealth senate within 90 days of the vacancy. The senate must then take action (confirming or not confirming the nomination) within 25 legislative days.[2]
The Public Utility Commission is responsible for regulating Pennsylvania's public utility industries and protecting consumers. The commission works to ensure safe and reliable services, educate consumers about their utility options, and promote new technologies and markets.[3]
Specifically, the commission:
- regulates approximately 6,000 electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water/wastewater, and transportation utilities
- regulates electric, gas, and water distribution rates
- regulates motor carries
- inspects more than 40,000 miles of natural gas pipelines
- inspects motor vehicles and railroad facilities
- works to make high-speed Internet service more readily available[1]
Divisions of the office
The Public Utility Commission has thirteen offices and bureaus that the various handle administrative, legal, legislative, regulatory, and financial duties of the commission.
Director of Operations' Office
The Director of Operations' Office is the central office in the department. The office coordinates the activities of all the other bureaus, and serves as a conduit for information between the commissioners and bureau/office directors.
Bureau of Audits
The Bureau of Audits conducts audits and investigations of Pennsylvania's fixed utilities. The bureau conducts three types of audits of approximately 32 fixed utilities every five to eight years, and of smaller utilities on an as-needed basis.
- Adjustment clause audits -- State law mandates annual adjustment clause audits for certain utilities. These audits verify the costs incurred by utility companies and are used to determine how fairly the companies are charging their customers.
- Financial audits -- Financial audits include original cost audits, original cost studies, and continuing property records audits.
- Management audits -- These audits evaluate a utility company's management structure. They consider at the sustainability of both short- and long-term operations plans and the overall organizational structure. Separate from these management audits, the bureau conducts management efficiency investigations.
Bureau of Consumer Services
The Bureau of Consumer Services handles consumer complaints and provides information to consumers. The bureau also monitors utility company compliance with regulations. There are two divisions within the bureau: customer assistance and complaints; and policy.
Law Bureau
Secretary's Bureau
Bureau of Transportation and Safety
Bureau of Administrative Services
Office of Administrative Law Judge
Bureau of Conservation Economics & Energy Planning

Nicely proportioned; wide side decks and large foredeck. Rod rigging, large sailplane and light displacement makes this fast in all wind conditions.

I hope some O33 owners are still reviewing this page. This seems to be the closest thing to an Owners-website out there.
I am looking to buy an Offshore 33 and would like to know if any of you have one for sale. I am in NC. Please email me back if so; I'd like to take a look at it.

|The Bristol 27 is a small cruiser that is fun to sail. As described, the B27 will heel a moderate amount before digging in. This initial heeling is due to the narrow hull and slack turn at the bilge. This feature also gives the boat an easy ride in rough conditions. The construction is robust. Everything is accessible (well, not the motor). For example, the chain plates are mounted to very strong fiberglass knees that are within the cabin lockers. There are three versions of the B27: The Weekender has a larger cockpit, with a corresponding smaller cabin. The Dinette version has a wrap around dinette to port with the galley opposite. The Cruising configuration has the traditional opposing settees port and starboard, and the galley to port under the companionway. Some B27 came with outboard motors mounted in the lazerette, and others, the reliable Atomic 4 gas engine. The Bristol 27 has very similar design characteristics as the Pearson Triton (another Carl Alberg design) , which suggests a cruising capability.

The PDQ are now called an Antares 44i which is a 44' Cruising Catamaran, rather expensive but from their web page there is a link for used 44i & PDQ. And the best part is if you buy a used one you still will get a free invitation to their Antares 3Day University where you learn all about the Catamaran & Sailing her. You can even tour the Factory.:):) Good Luck in your Hunt.

The price mentioned included a single axis trailer and 6 HP outboard in working condition.
She is easy to sail with one or two persons, although single-handed tacking is a bit of a challenge with the standard jib-sheet setup. Some extra weight (2 extra persons) on the rail pays off for racing upwind in winds over 10 kts.
Lifting daggerboard and kick-up rudder means it sits relatively low on a trailer and doesn't need much water to float (18"), so it can go sail when the fixed-keel boats are stuck. The ballast is lead, reported as 850 Lb, cast onto the hull around the daggerboard trunk. Overall weight is reported as 2200 Lb. The boat has a lot of interior space for its length because of its nearly flush deck and not-so-low freeboard.
The underwater shape does not lend itself to planing, but riding waves in decent wind will get you above hull speed without problems. We have seen 7.5 knots max so far sailing deep with main and genoa. Since she does not have a wide, flat stern section, she behaves pretty nicely going upwind in waves. The stock version has a good vang but no traveller. That makes it more convenient to move forward and aft in the cockpit (no shin-buster), but many owners have upgraded to a traveller. She is a bit tender initially, but her fairly wide beam and high freeboard means she stiffens up a lot with heel.
The attached rudder assembly is not light, but also not as flimsy as some other designs for boats in this length range. It is very light on the helm with the rudder blade swung fully forward. The load goes up and the draft goes down to less than a foot as the blade is swung backwards.
The mast is an un-tapered Kenyon Spars 2740 MORC Section, fractional rig with single swept-back spreaders and an adjustable back-stay. The standard main sail area is not very large at ~ 114 sqft, and can be tweaked with halyard tension, outhaul, backstay tension plus reefs/cunningham depending on the main sail configuration. It pays to have at least a 150 or 155% genoa for light air (below 10 knots) and a ~ 100% working jib above 10 kts. The standard jib seems to be a 110% working jib, which is a good choice if you are only going to have one jib. The jib track is long enough for anything from a 80% high-wind jib sheeted inside the stays to a 170% light-air drifter sheeted outside. The standard spinaker option seems to be a fractional symmetric one with an internal halyard exiting just above the fore stay and an 8' pole attached to the mast. Mine had a mast-head external halyard installed presumably by a former owner, that I converted to an internal mast-head halyard for the 300 sqft tri-radial spinaker.
A six-horse outboard is plenty. A 20 year old two-stoke got me going into a 3-4 foot chop against 15 kts of wind without problems. For maneuvering in-port a 2 or 2.5 HP would suffice. A single sculling oar will get you at least 1.5 knots in flat water.
The hull is solid fiberglass and the deck balsa cored. Parts of the hull have molded fiberglass with smooth gel-coat to create the very long quarter-berths, narrow shelves just under the windows and a port-a-potty recess before the mast. The volume below these part is filled with foam. That will prevent or at least delay the boat from sinking if something catastrophic were to happen, but also takes away some volume that could have been storage. Still, there is plenty of space for over-nighting with two people and a decent amount of gear. The smooth surfaces inside though are nice, much nicer than painted fiberglass or plywood. There are few creature comforts inside (apart from the super-long quarterberths, port-a-potty and simply the volume), but there is also space to add a sink or stove or additional storage space if you want.
The hull and deck have overlapping outside lips that extend ~ 2" downwards, which makes for a stiff joint, that also serves as a rub-rail or sorts and toe-rail.
The daggerboard weighs about 100 Lb and seems to have a small amount of lead-shot inside (my weight measurement of a board after a lot of repairs), most of the ballast is lead in the bottom of the hull. There is a permanent tackle to lower and raise the board, attached to the mast support. The daggerboard trunk extends about a foot above the waterline. Heel alone will not allow water to seep in, but sloshing and pounding at larger heel angles will let in a little water. The standard "lid" in combination with a towel can keep that inconvenience in check. The daggerboard is swept 30 degrees back. The profile of the daggerboard (at least of mine) is quite complicated. The cord is constant, but the maximum thickness isn't, and the profile is not a standard 4-digit NACA profile as it is hollow in the aft section. It may be close to NACA 64-0008 near the hull, tapering down to ~6% or so 3/4 down to widen to ~6.5% of cord in the foot. Low drag if you can keep her in the groove, more drag than a no-hollows NACA 0008 at higher angles of attack. For a relatively light boat like this, a fatter no-hollows profile may have been better for performance (and ease of doing repairs), unless you sail in flat water.
I could babble on for another hour. If you want to know more, ask me.
All in all, this is a fun, responsive boat for a bit of racing, cruising or gunk-holing. It is trailer-able. Dry-sailing is only worth the effort in my opinion if you can leave the mast up when out of the water, or sail multiple days. The design is a bit dated, although you'll should still be able to handily outsail a Catalina 22. There are a few boats produced these days with similar length, lower weight and better performance (anybody want to trade me for a U-20 ). These also cost a LOT more.

The "Administrator" should stick to playing with websites as he obviously knows nothing about UFO 34's. Could go on however I think the three references below sums it up
(http://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/archives/she-36/she-36.htm) for instance :
"Although some IOR racers handled badly due to attempts to distort hull shapes to "cheat the rule" and obtain a favourable rating, the best of them (She 36's, UFO34's and a few others) were really good all-round fast cruiser/racers, with enough weight and ballast to continue to sail in heavy weather without (as in most modern racers) lots of crew sitting on the rail."
something similar from their review of the UFO 34 (http://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/archives/ufo-34/ufo-34.htm) :
"Whilst many IOR yachts of the period had a reputation for poor handling, the UFO34 was both fast and virtually vice-free, and the class became successful both as racers and as fast cruisers, many boats being used exclusively as cruising yachts."
and finally from Adlard Cole's Heavy Weather Sailing (5th ed) which chronicles a UFO 34 in +60kt (force 11-12) winds :
"The popular Holman & Pye-designed UFO34 was a non-extreme yacht by the standards of her day, of moderate to heavy displacement. Apart from being a little weighty on the helm through having a rating-influenced pinched stern, they have few vices".

Think ours is a 1975 model. Good support on line for common problems. Mostly because we are sailing 30 year old boats. Company went out late seventies. 21 is a good day sailer with sleeping capacity. Easy to rig and tow. Have rigged up, sailed, tore down same day many times. As always, nicer if you don't have to. Biggest problem is swing keel. Cables wear out and can cause damage if it falls. Just have to inspect yearly. Many boats have similar design. The good is you can float in 6" of water to land in different spots. Modern boats would probably have electric winch. With this old a boat some woodwork and repairs will probably always be needed.

I love this boat because it was built to last. You will not find a more stable and sturdy boat. She is not fast, but built to be safe. I sail on SF Bay where, in the summer, winds are 20 -30 knots routinely. She almost prefers a howling gale! Wonderful handling!
In light winds she can be slow to turn across the wind. I generally fall off slightly to pick up some speed to get around.
I have the NAB version which was finished by Reg Freeman Yachts in England. That means I have a hard top in addition to the HR windshield and the cabin has a slightly differently layout. It also has sliding pocket doors of teak for both the forward and stern cabins which is a pretty cool idea.
If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive boat that can safely take you anywhere, look no further.

Owned a Roberts 45 Classic (full keel version) for five years. Did mainly coastal cruising including a three week offshore trip (Abrolhos Islands)
Good points
- solid steady boat, family felt safe in a blow
- was plenty of room for a family of five
- nice looking boat
- cheap boat to buy
Bad points
- ordinary design, better designs available
- upwind performance weak. In +20kts could not make headway unless you motor sailed
-resale value will be poor irrespective of boat condition / equipment levels
- build quality variable, especially for one's home built
- with bowsprit and davits the overall length was 53ft 5". Need 15 / 18m pen.

I was given this 1976 boat by its original owner, who due to illness could not continue sailing. Though reasonably maintained, over the years the light construction of the boat has shown itself: failing fiberglass attachment to underlying plywood, cracking sprayed gelcoat on interior walls and seating structures, rubbed-off hull gelcoat, thin layups on hull and pop-top, and failed support plywood for the swing keel winch.
I am considering preparing this boat for portions of the Great Loop. However, I am concerned about the general structural condition, and the lack of space for both water and fuel, and the overall reliability of the pop-top mechanism.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Friday, Nov. 9, 8 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Rentschler Field (38,066) -- Hartford, Connecticut. Television: ESPN. Home Record: Pitt 3-2, UConn 2-2. Away Record: Pitt 1-3, UConn 1-4. Neutral Record: Pitt 0-0, UConn 0-0. Conference Record: Pitt 1-3, UConn 0-4 Series Record: Series is tied, 4-4.
GAME NOTES: After a crushing road loss, the Pittsburgh Panthers will travel to Rentschler Field looking to get back to .500 on the season against a Connecticut Huskies squad that is still in search of its first Big East victory of the year.
Missed opportunities were plentiful for Pittsburgh in its showdown with No. 4 Notre Dame in South Bend as the Panthers fell 29-26 in triple overtime. In the loss Pittsburgh let a 20-6 lead in the fourth quarter slip away and missed what would have been a game-winning field goal when Kevin Harper's 33-yard attempt sailed off target in overtime. The loss put an end to Pittsburgh's two-game winning streak.
Failing to capitalize was a theme for UConn last weekend as well. The Huskies fell 13-6 to South Florida by turning the ball over on all three of their possessions in the fourth quarter. The Huskies were absolutely stymied on the ground, managing just 1.4 yards per carry. With the loss, UConn remains without a win in conference play this season (0-4) and 3-6 overall putting it dangerously close to being eliminated from bowl eligibility. The loss was also the fourth straight for the Huskies, their longest skein since the 2005-2006 season.
Neither team has gotten the upper-hand in the all-time series, which dates back to only 2004 when UConn became a football member of the Big East. In that time the two squads have split eight contests, with Pittsburgh's 35-20 win at Heinz Field last season the most recent pairing.
Ray Graham did not seem to care about the Fighting Irish's national ranking last weekend as he posted a huge day on the ground. Graham rushed for 172 yards and a touchdown with a stellar 7.2 yards per carry average. His yardage total was the most surrendered by the Irish this season in a single game and puts Graham firmly on track for his first 1,000-yard season. Graham currently sits at 794 yards with the effort against Notre Dame his second straight 100- yard game. Graham had 958 yards last season before a knee injury against this same Connecticut squad ended his season. Graham has already eclipsed the 1,000-yard plateau in total offense with an additional 269 yards receiving. He has also been Pittsburgh's best at finding the end zone, with his 10 total touchdowns more than double that of any other player.
Getting back to the run was imperative for Pittsburgh which has been more heavily reliant on the pass game this season. However against Notre Dame the aerial assault was severely slowed with the Panthers finishing with just 164 yards. That is more than 100 yards behind the squads season average (268.4 ypg). Before that effort, Tino Sunseri had really been excelling in the offensive system of first-year head coach Paul Chryst. Sunseri has completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 2,363 yards and 14 touchdowns. Both his touchdown total and yards total are the third best marks in the Big East.
Someone has to catch those passes and thus far Devin Street has been carrying the bulk of that responsibility. Street is the leading receiver (53 receptions, 730 yards, 4 TDs) in the conference and holds the top marks for receptions (5.89) and yards (81.1) per game. If Street continues to retain that ranking he will be the first pass catcher since current NFL standout Larry Fitzgerald to accomplish the feat for the Panthers. Street hasn't been doing it alone though with Mike Shanahan (41 receptions, 669 yards) the third leading receiver in the conference in yards. Both will be looking to bounce back from a combined 73 yards against Notre Dame.
The Pittsburgh defense was fortunate to have held Notre Dame in check for most of the game as the Panthers surrendered 522 yards of total offense in the loss. That was the most yards allowed in a game this season by Pittsburgh, which while not overly dominant, has at least been serviceable on the defensive side of the ball, ranking fourth in the Big East in total defense (360.1 ypg) and scoring (22.3 ppg). Pittsburgh is also one of only three teams in the Big East to have a positive turnover margin (+7).
At the forefront of those efforts is Jason Hendricks who has been stellar in the secondary, collecting a team-high four interceptions as well as six passes defended. Hendricks is also the lead tackler on the team with 63 stops thus far.
Getting a pass rush has not been as much a part of the defense with the team managing only 17 sacks this season. Aaron Donald (9.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks) provides the only real threat up front.
Offensive inability has been the real weak point of Connecticut's squad this season. The Huskies could not have made that more plain in the loss to South Florida, mustering only six points and 327 yards of total offense. That offensive output wasted another strong game from the defense which gave up just 283 yards of total offense. Connecticut didn't sustain long drives in the game with only one red zone trip, something that has plagued it all season. The Huskies have only 22 possessions in the red zone this season, the second worst mark in the conference.
Also not helpful was the three turnovers, two of which came off of interceptions from Chandler Whitmer. After holding his own during the first few weeks of the season, Whitmer has really begun to struggle with his consistency. He has been picked off seven times in the last four games while throwing only three touchdown passes. His 13 total picks are almost more than double his touchdown total (seven).
Teams are able to pin their ears back and attack the quarterback when there is nothing coming from the running game. UConn has only managed 738 yards rushing as a team this season, while averaging 2.4 yards per carry. Coming off a very strong 2011 campaign, Lyle McCombs has been a disappointment this season. McCombs has rushed for only 547 yards on 164 carries and has had just one 100- yard performance. In fact the 47 yards he gained against South Florida was the most he has put up in four weeks and the most against a Big East opponent.
While McCombs has take a step back, the ascension of wide receiver Geremy Davis has been fun to watch. Davis has not been a consistent producer, in large part due to inconsistencies in the passing game, but has shown flashes of brilliance with five games of 75 or more receiving yards, including a seven-catch, 98-yard effort against South Florida. Overall Davis has caught 36 balls for 547 yards which are both team-highs. Ryan Griffin (20 receptions, 315 yards, 4 TDs) has been a favored target in the red zone with a team-high in touchdown receptions from the tight end spot.
For all its offensive deficiencies, UConn has been stellar on defense. Connecticut is the top ranked team in the Big East, holding foes to a minuscule 290.2 yards per game average. That number makes the Huskies one of only 10 schools in the country to give up fewer than 300 yards per game. What the Huskies are good at is creating negative plays, with a conference-leading 23 sacks and 65 tackles for loss.
The powerful front seven of the Huskies is anchored by Trevardo Williams up front. Williams has racked up 8.5 sacks this season to lead the Big East. There are also a number of playmakers in the linebacking corps with the combination of Yawin Smallwood (13.0 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks) and Sio Moore (10.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks) wreaking havoc on opposing backfields.
Another loss for Connecticut means any postseason hopes are dashed making every game the rest of the way a must win. Pittsburgh is also playing for its postseason life and will desperately want this win to wash some of the bad taste left from last weekend. In the end the better offensive balance of the Panthers makes them the favorite.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Pittsburgh 23, Connecticut 17

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ... Even when talking to children, who says such things?
I recall telling kids such things as "How would you feel if someone did that to you?" which I hope you will agree have a similar effect, if they work at all.
But small kids are a bit like dogs—it's the tone of voice and the body language more than the words that do the work. Then it's the effect of the quoted sentiment on one's own peace of mind that helps.
Similarly with good philosophy—the effect on one's own mind is often more important than whether one can get some wise-guy idiot to agree.
"Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish."

Men's Volleyball Suffers 3-0 Setback to League Leading Mount Olive
March 31, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Mount Olive College used a .405 attack percentage to go along with their 23 digs and seven total team blocks to blank Pfeiffer University 3-0 (25-18, 25-15, 25-17) in Conference Carolinas mens volleyball action on Thursday night. The win pushes the Trojans to 18-6 overall, 6-0 in league play, while the Falcons fall to 8-11, 0-5.
The Falcons jumped out to a quick 8-2 lead in the opening set after one of Eric Edelmans (Henrietta, NY) team-high 10 kills on the night. A service ace by the Trojans Adam Miracle (Cincinnati, OH) brought the visitors to within two before they eventually took the lead at 18-17 on a kill from freshman Angel Dache (La Habana, CUBA). A pair of aces by Miracle would help the Trojans run away late in set one while back-to-back kills from Tim Ebbecke (Commack, NY) and Benedikt Schirmers (Rottenburg, GERMANY) gave Mount Olive a 1-0 set lead.
Both teams went back and forth early in set two as a kill from Drew Burdette (Greer, SC) put the Falcons up 7-5. After another Ebbecke kill knotted the contest at eight, Mount Olive would score the next three off of Falcon errors to force a Pfeiffer timeout with an 11-8 Trojan lead. A put down by Lance Johnson (Harrisburg, PA) brought the hosts back to within one at 11-10 but another four-point spurt put the Trojans up for good. John Nunns (Fayetteville, NC) led the first attack with a pair of kills while Schirmers and Ebbecke fueled the final points of set two each adding another kill.
At 4-4 of set three, Mount Olive would again tally four-straight points to take an 8-4 lead. Nunns started with another one of his eight kills on the night coupling with a pair of Falcon errors and ace from Schirmers putting the visitors up four. Mount Olive would maintain their lead from there as Alex Vazquez (Miami, FL) and Nunns finished off the Falcons with two of the matchs final three points.
Jackson Mettechecchi (Littlerock, CA) helped the Trojans with a match-high 40 assists on the night. Dache was the only Mount Olive player to finish in double-digit kills while Schirmers also led with nine digs. For Pfeiffer, Edelman concluded with 10 kills while Evan Fullerton (Ambridge, PA) put up 22 assists. Mark Hess (Lebanon, PA) anchored the defense with six digs while Johnson had a pair of block assists.
Pfeiffer returns to league action on Tuesday traveling to Limestone for their final road contest of 2011. Match time with the Saints is set for 7:00 p.m.

I found this quote from the late Nyingma lama Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche: "In this decadent age, because of their limited intelligence and lack of determination, people need to practice the Dharma in an essentialized form."
Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Does Buddhism need to be simplified in our modern age? Or is it possible to leave it in its more complex, traditional form?
How much can Buddhism be simplified while still remaining Buddhism?
Which simple Buddhist practices do you feel are the most powerful and useful for modern people?
I'll answer my last question. I think doing Tonglen focusing on one's own emotions is an excellent meditation which does many things at once: you're focusing on your breathing so you get the benefits of shamatha, you're learning more about the nature of your mind and thoughts as they really are since you're observing them, you can transform your mood from a bad one to a good one with continued practice, and you're benefiting other beings by breathing out positive energy for them.

Club competitions
National team competitions
23-20, 22-20, 12-18, 36-16
Antwerp Giants turned on the style in the fourth quarter to record a convincing 93-74 win over Hapoel Holon in Group H of the EuroChallenge, but it was not enough to get them into the Last 16.
Instead, they missed out in a three-way tie at the top of the group as Hapoel joined Telekom Baskets Bonn, winners over Armia, in progressing to the Last 16, all with a 4-2 record.
That was perhaps harsh on an Antwerp team who outscored Hapoel 36-16 in a stunning final 10 minutes, particularly on the outstanding Bryan Hopkins who poured in 42 points in the win, sinking nine-of-16 (56.3%) of his attempts from three-point range.
It was an often scrappy encounter for the opening 30 minutes, with Antwerp briefly building a 45-33 advantage just before half-time only to see it just as quickly wiped out.
Hapoel led 63-60 with eight and half minutes left, but Hopkins hit a three to tie it and then edged Antwerp in front with two free throws.
That was the start of a 13-0 run that quickly gave Antwerp a double-digit lead and, as Hopkins rained in the threes, they raced out of Hapoel's reach.
Jean Mwema also scored in double figures for Antwerp with 15 points while Jason Love had 10.
Franklin Hassell led Hapoel with 15 points while David Smith and Zachary Rosen added 13 each.
Antwerp head coach Eddy Casteels"A brilliant game of my team and a good European campaign with 4 wins. Unfortunately, not enough for the Last 16. Congratulations to Hapoel Holon. A strong team goes to the next round."
Holon head coach Dan Shamir"We are happy with the qualification. For Hapoel Holon this is a huge step. Also my respect for the team of Antwerp Giants. The Giants played a great game."
Antwerp player Brian Hopkins"We believed in the qualification. Unfortunately we arrived after a tough fight just too short. Yes, it hurts."
Holon player Zachary Rosen"A tough game and a great win for Antwerp. I'm happy with our qualifcation to the Last 16."

Social Media
2011 was already the year of social networks, but how can you proceed with your social media strategy in 2012? Brian Solis gives some tips on how to succeed in the coming year. Very important, also for hoteliers, is to understand how and why technology is influencing consumers' behavior and to understand how these social channels can be a meaningful opportunity for you and for your consumers to connect:
Ten Social Media Strategies to Define a Successful 2012
As you might have noticed Sabre Hospitality Solutions is taking sustainability very seriously. The below article teaches us that the major trends of transparency, global consistency, public/private collaboration and the focus on solar energy are shaping the sustainability development movement:

Today tablets are quickly getting more popular and hoteliers can utilize these devices to interact with their guests. The tablets can be used to enhance the check-in process, to provide in-room amenities such as temperature and light, and to improve customer service by displaying your menu or concierge services:
How Hotels Can Embrace the Tablet Trend
After Google's announcement last week about the merging of Google+ into organic Google search results it became important for hoteliers to look at the way how to approach this fairly new social media channel. The below article suggests building a business page on this medium so it can positively impact your rankings in the search engine:

In an attempt to perfect the interface between man and machine, SRAM scrutinized every aspect of their shifter levers. What they came up with was a redesigned grip texture, a more ergodynamic transition between hood and bar, and an overall more comfortable, better handling shift lever. Utilizing Double Tap Technology, the SRAM Red Ergo Dynamic Shift Levers make changing gears easier and faster, eliminating cumbersome and awkaward engagement associated with two-lever systems. Double Tap handles up- and downshifts in one short, sweeping motion, with minimal effort and maximum comfort no matter where you are on the bars. On Double Tap controls, the brake and shift levers are completetly independent, each operating with their own pivot points, enabling multiposition functionality, and eliminating the risk of engaging brakes or shifters unintentionally. The efficient, comfortable design of the SRAM Red Double Tap Shift Levers reduce weight minimize bulk, giving you the edge over the competition.

New album: Bankrupt!
Artist: Phoenix
Label: Atlantic
Rating: 3 stars out of 5
Remember the group A-Ha? They had a massive worldwide hit with "Take On Me" in 1985. The group's sound was dominated by synthesizers and a lead singer who could hit Freddie Mercury high notes as easily as if it were blinking.
A-Ha went on to have a respectable career in Europe for the next two decades, but in America the group might as well have been a beta max VCR. Why? Because for some reason any pop group that sprang to life in the 1980s was for the most part chained to that decade forever.
Fast forward to 2013, and some of the biggest bands in the world are the ones that have most successfully aped the synth-driven pop sound of the 1980s.
Phoenix has been releasing albums since 2000, with its biggest success being 2009's "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix." The new "Bankrupt!" builds on the success of "Wolfgang" but hovers in the musical and melodic areas that has served the band well in the past. The miscues that kept early albums "Alphabetical" and "It's Never Been Like That" from being truly great have apparently been noted and neutralized.
The most blatant gob of paint pulled from the 1980s occurs during "The Real Thing," when the door-knocker snare drum sound from the Prince classic "When Doves Cry" makes an appearance. "The Real Thing" has a great hook that is sung brilliantly by Thomas Mars, but it's hard to conjure visions of "Purple Rain" during the song's verses. Is this an homage or a blatant attempt at near subliminal marketing?
Most of the songs on "Bankrupt!" are pleasant enough ("S.O.S. in Bel Air," "Trying to Be Cool"), but there's not enough stink on the riffs or melodies to worm the material into the listener's consciousness. The line dividing irony and affection blurs on "Drakkar Noir," a nod to a popular 1980s cologne — which would make it an ode to an odor.
While some hipsters may listen to this album with a smirk on their ears, in the end Phoenixcould be making a case for the much maligned decade.
"Bankrupt!" is not an incredibly original batch of songs, but they're well-executed and fun. If you're a child of the 1980s and are looking for a portal back to the days when preppies wore mullets and bands put babes in their videos, "Bankrupt!" fits the bill.

Classic album: Mixed Bag
Artist: Richie Havens
Label: Verve
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Probably the best all-around musician of the 1960's folk boom, Richie Havens, is annoyingly remembered by many as the guy who opened the original Woodstock Festival and sang in a commercial for Maxwell House coffee.
In reality, Havens was an inventive, original performer who, according to multiple media outlets, once got such a reaction from a Tonight Show audience that Johnny Carson invited him back the following night.
Released in 1967, "Mixed Bag" is as its title suggests — a collection of moods and styles that follow a neat narrative. Opening track "High Flyin' Bird" features the driving, open-tuned guitar work that would define Havens' sound for his entire career. Blessed with a voice as instantly recognizable as Sinatra or Joe Williams, Havens' deep nasal tone was one of the most distinctive in folk or any genre.
Whether performing originals ("Adam," "Three Days of Eternity") or covers (Gordon Lightfoot's "I Can't Take It Anymore," Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman"), Havens had the ability to make any song his own — no matter how iconic the original. His take on "Eleanor Rigby" is appropriately stark, but in his hands this Paul McCartney tune sounds less like a lament and more like a mystery that needs to be solved.
Havens made many recordings of note over his 45-year career, but none of them eclipse the soulful versatility and charm of "Mixed Bag."

For instance, no, he would not have to be resigned before a deal is in place. Exact opposite actually. They would come to an agreement first, put it all down on paper, and then everyone would sign. The contract will actually stipulate the terms of the trade. It is an actual "sign and trade" transaction.
Which is also why I say this isn't going around the rules or anything of the such. It's an actual transaction that is purposely allowed.
In short, he will be a restricted free agent that will sign an already agreed upon contract to trade him.

Foxcroft Short-Sleeved Knit Polo Shirt 4 4
Collar lays flat This is the first polo shirt I've had whose collar really does lay flat. To me that's exceptional. The sleeves were large enough to make my arms look attractive; not tight on me. The fabric is not heavy; it's lighter than I expected, but I think this will be a nice addition to my closet. I ordered a medium although with a 36" bust, I could have ordered a small. But I like the drape with the medium, and it's not too large. July 27, 2014
Great travel shirt Wore these 2 shirts on two week Scotland trip. Washed in hotel sink and dried on heated towel rack-dried overnight wrinkle free despite wring to dry. Just ordered 3 more ! July 17, 2014
short-sleeve polo shirt Foxcroft short-sleeve polos come in fantastic colors. They wash nicely and don't need ironing.The lemon twist shirt has a great color,but it is almost,but not quite see-through. The shirts feel great and sit at the hips. Would be nice to have the sleeves just a bit longer. June 19, 2014
Great basic piece This shirt is a basic for me, have another in blue. Love that it did not shrink and stays crisp and nice looking all day. June 13, 2014

Gallery: 8 Amazing Hidden Rooftop Houses You've Probably Never Noticed ...
We have long been fans of green prefab houses, and what better place to plop one down than on a rooftop? The sleek LoftCube is a chic and cheerful prefab designed specifically for rooftops. Designed by Werner Aisslinger, the square structure can be transported by helicopter and costs around $60,000 — a total steal for a rooftop apartment in New York City. For something even cheaper, the $2000 prefab Icosa Village Pod has been spotted on a Williamsburg rooftop. The geodesic dome folds into itself and can be easily assembled just about anywhere.
If rooftop prefabs can't get you excited, what about an A-frame cottage or Cape Cod bungalow? Nick Carr, a film location scout, has documented a handful of fully-built rooftop homes that look like they were picked up in a tornado and accidentally dropped in NYC. On top of an East Village apartment building, there's an ocean front beach house, complete with a horse weather vane, and between West 77th and West 78th Streets, there is a cute A-frame hidden on top of a building.
Of course, not all rooftop homes are cute and compact. This is New York City, after all, home of the extravagant lifestyle. Carr spotted a full-fledged suburban home — with a chimney! — on top of a 4 story building at 13th Street and 3rd Avenue. The wooden structure spans the entire building and even has a patio. There's also a gorgeous, glass-walled 3-story house atop an unidentified building that has a deck on its own rooftop. Others have turned building rooftops into whole suburban landscapes, with a house, a yard, and a shed. Hey, why sacrifice city living for suburbia when you can create a better version in the middle of Manhattan?

The day could be fast-arriving when a new breed of car buyer considers a new generation of cars, and wrestles with a choice something like: "Hmmm, $30,000. Should I get that loaded Ford Focus, or this new mini-size entry BMW?"Absurd? Not necessarily.Luxury auto brands already are making a living in the U.S. on their smaller models — BMW's 3-series is the best example. Now, they're easing more into the compact- and even subcompact-size market segments and have begun to show teaser versions of remarkably small cars on the auto show circuit.At the same time, mainstream automakers are adding equipment to their smaller cars and trying to boost the prices.Ford says its redesigned, 2013 Fusion midsize sedan, for example, has been luring a notable number of trade-ins from Acura, BMW and Au

Crop tops, blue eyeshadow, tie dye -- today's top trends aren't so new. See how these styles were worn in the past, and how we wear them now
Old photos are fun to look through, but frankly, the hair, makeup, and clothes from back in the day can be downright embarrassing (for example, the crimped hair and spandex in my elementary school pictures). But while our neon-obsession was bad, it was nothing compared to some of the stuff our parents wore. All you need to do is flip through a family photo album or dig through your mom's closet to stir up a "What were they thinking?!" fashion moment.
Of course, at the time they were actually thinking fashionably. History often repeats itself and fashion is no exception. Trends we never thought would be cool again (here's looking at you, neon) are just that ... cool again. And our generation is skilled in recycling style; dusting off past fads to be updated and reinterpreted.
Click here to see old trends that are now back in style.
It seems like only yesterday we were playing dress up in our mom's bellbottoms or our grandma's pillbox hats. But now that box of kitschy items, previously reserved for theme parties or last-minute Halloween costumes, has a lot more in common with trends on the runway and in store windows today. Looks like our parents and grandparents are a lot cooler than we'd like to admit.
Click through to see the trends we thought were dead and gone, but are now back with a vengeance.

Light weight hard plastic guards. They fit underneath L/S. Make sure you have muscles or order a size smaller than usual to ensure tight fit. Very comfortable.
Comments about Troy Lee Designs Se Elbow Guards:
I would rate this product below average, both times I needed this pad I ended up getting banged up because it slid all over the place on impact. Not to mention the costant adjustments you have to make to keep these from being wrist & forearm protectors, not elbow forarm protection as designed. Novel idea, not so good in practices....that is if what you really want is for your pads to protect you when you need them.

JON CARDINELLI watched a physically superior Reds outfit overcome the Chiefs in an important 42-27 win in Brisbane.
There was a period between the 30th and 38th minute where the Chiefs scored three unanswered tries and threatened to run away with the game. But the plucky Reds remained composed despite the 22-8 deficit, and struck back either side after half-time.
The Reds scored five tries in all against a side that up until this match had boasted the best defence in the tournament. Sunday's match marked the first four-try bonus point of the season for the Reds, and the first time the Chiefs had conceded four or more tries.
The Chiefs were guilty of complacency in last week's match against the Lions, and were made to pay for their mental lapses on this occasion. They stopped working at the collisions and breakdowns following that three-try burst as they probably felt the win was in the bag.
But the Reds kept on coming, and a brave piece of captaincy by James Horwill got the hosts back into the game right before the break.
Horwill turned down a kickable penalty and the Reds forwards controlled the ball well before it flew to Ben Lucas for a game-changing score.
The Reds built on this momentum after the break, keeping the ball close and punishing some slack Chiefs defending. Scott Higginbotham crashed over from close range and the cool goal-kicking of Mike Harris levelled the scores.
A piece of individual brilliance by Will Genia earned the hosts the lead, as the Wallabies scrumhalf first darted from the base and then outstripped the cover defence. It was a try not unlike the cracker Genia scored in last year's final, and importantly in the context of the current season it earned the Reds a bonus point.
The Chiefs continued to battle at the breakdowns and collisions, with openside flank Liam Gill causing the visitors' plenty of problems. Referee Marius Jonker missed a lot of infringements on both sides, but ultimately the Chiefs will regret not protecting the ball. Turnovers compromised their defence on this occasion.
Their lineout also had a forgettable outing. Conversely, the Reds were in fine form at this set piece, and it was from a lineout where they set a powerful and unstoppable maul. Saia Faingaa burrowed over to score the Reds' fifth try, and from this point the game was Queensland's to lose.
The Chiefs managed to score one more try through Asaeli Tikoirotuma, a score that earned them a bonus point. But there was just no stopping the Reds juggernaut, and Harris added a further drop goal and penalty to put the result beyond doubt.

Amazing Quality
Absolutely loved our save the dates as did our guests. The paper quality was amazing and sleek and simple design has everyone excited for the wedding. I would definitely recommend Magnet Street. Also, as an added bonus the cards were delivered in a great Tiffany blue reusable box.
Great Product
We used MagnetStreet for our Save The Dates because we received a discount. I am so glad that we decided to use them. I am a worrier by nature and wad very concerned about how our cards would turn out. Thankfully they came out beautifully and looked just like they did online. No surprises or disappointments. We will likely use magnet street again for invitations.

The best bat for you to use can vary based on your preference of how the bat would feel. Based on your height and weight we would suggest a 30 inch size so that would narrow down your options. One that would be a nice balanced two-piece design available in that size would be the 2015 DeMarini CF7 BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXCFC).
What would be the best balanced bat in the DeMarini line?
The DeMarini M2M BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXM2C) has a fairly balanced swing weight. However, the 2014 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVXC) has the most balanced swing weight in the DeMarini line.
What are the numbers 2 4 6 8 10 on the top for?
DeMarini has a Rotational Index at the end of the barrel to help remind you to rotate the bat about every 10-15 swings to help extend the life span of the bat.
Product Description
The DeMarini M2M is True American Muscle. Made in the USA, the M2M is all-alloy with no forgiveness. It's built for power, durability, and players that love to feel the ball all the way through the bat. This two-piece full-metal design is as stiff of a bat as they come; producing as much power as a metal bat possibly can. We're not talking about just any metal though. We're talking about DeMarini's new X10 Alloy. X10 features a proprietary blend of alloy agents and is finely tuned to give the M2M the thinnest, lightest, and strongest barrel walls possible. With a big, aggressive Long Barrel, the M2M is graced with one of the largest hitting surfaces (and sweetspots!) in the game today! The sweetspot is even further enhanced with Half and Half Technology that allows the barrel to produce a burst of ball-launching energy with great pop every time contact is made. Capped with an N2M End Cap that is scientifically tuned to absorb vibration, the M2M is one bat that will not disappoint. DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The DeMarini M2M: DXM2C is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
