Sea to Summit Escapist Ultra-Mesh Bug Tent
A non-free standing shelter by design that works well with a variety of conditions and platforms. It can be pitched with a pair of trekking poles or in between two trees. It's a versatile shelter that can be used as a ground shelter or even as a hammock tarp. Since this is a modular system, the weight can be easily be distributed between two people. Best used for 3-season backpacking and can be used as a solo or 2-person shelter. Manufacturer Specs: http://www.seatosummit.com.au/products/bug-protection/escapist/… Full review
Sawyer Permethrin Repellent for Clothing
Easy to use and long lasting this bug treatment really works. If you visit buggy areas or are concerned about ticks at home or on trail this stuff is peace of mind in a bottle Designed to be used to pretreat clothing and gear to repel ticks, chiggers, mites and mosquitoes this product works as advertised. After one full season of use I am convinced of the effectiveness of Sawyer's permethrin and will keep using it so long as that remains the fact. Application is simply a matter of waiting for… Full review
UCO Citronella Candles
Effective power in a small package! Mini and Micro Candle Lanterns offer 3-4 hours of burn time per candle. Citronella oil is mixed into the paraffin and the scent is released as the candle burns creating a natural insect repellent. This 6-pack of Citronella tealight candles will provide you with approximately 18-24 hours of light. Very effective in keeping insects away from sight for many hours. Full review
BugButton SuperBand
Does not work in the least. Went camping and like an idiot I purchased 10 buttons and 8 bracelets instead of spray. Now I am paying the price and lots of itch cream. They don't work at all. I even witnessed mosquitos biting me right beside the buttons and all around the bracelets as well. Lesson learned. Full review
Duration Permethrin
No more bugs...No more DEET...just that simple! So Duration is the first product I have given a 5-star review (I even went to the trouble to list it because I'm that impressed!). I try to withhold this rating for products which excel beyond all my expectations...and the Duration permethrin concentrate did just that. Put simply...this product helped me resolve my longstanding battle against insects...and given that I spend nearly my entire summers along rivers and in wetlands...that's high praise! Full review
Repel 100 Pump Spray
Basic upper tier bug repellant that for a low price and handy size, is a must for anyone not wanting to get too many mosquito bites. I bought the Repel 100% Deet, 14 ml size as a backpacking spray while I was out in heavy mosquito territory. Now I usually wear long pants and shirts, but since it was the middle of summer, I hoped that short sleeves would be alright in usage with this repellant. At 100%, its supposed to be as good as it gets right? To sum it up, it works, but not as well as anticipated. Full review
3M Ultrathon 33 Insect Repellent Sponge Applicator
A bug repellent in a little package, with a lot of promise, that ultimately turned into a lot of disappointment. If you want to lose ten bucks and gain a few dozen bug bites, this one's for you. Otherwise, stick to the spray-applicated repellents. I read a recent review of this that painted it in a pretty positive light. While stocking up on supplies at REI before a recent trip, I picked up a bottle of this and spared myself fifteen-minutes'-worth of comparison shopping in the insect repellent aisle. Full review
3M Ultrathon 33 Insect Repellent Sponge Applicator
Most effective, longest lasting insect repellent I've ever used. Period. It says; "Lasts 8 to 12 hours." And it actually does! I've spent thousands of hours in horrifying mosquito, blackfly, and no-see-um territories, and I've used every brand, every chemical or natural concoction ever to grace a store shelf. (Literally, not figuratively; I've tried EVERYTHING.) Some stuff works for a little while, some stuff lasts a little while longer, some stuff shouldn't even be allowed to call itself "insect… Full review
Dermatone SPF 36 Zinc Oxide Lotion
My favorite sunscreen for bright sun or high altitude. Dermatone sunscreen products have been my favorites for many years (decades). I have used different formulations and currently prefer zinc oxide content for better screening. Stays on well, blocks well, seems to work well on my skin and isn't loaded up with fragrances. Small sizes are nice and light for shorter hikes, but larger sizes are available for long trips. Full review

FAYETTEVILLE — Twice in the postseason Fairmont rallied from big second-half deficits to win.
Kinston wasn't about to be a third.
Denzel Keyes had 18 points and Josh Dawson added 17 as the Vikings made sure the Golden Tornadoes didn't come back in this one with a 68-41 win on Saturday that puts them in the state 2A championship for the second straight year.
Kinston (27-2) will face Waxhaw Cuthbertson, which earlier on Saturday defeated Shelby 55-48 for the 2A Western title, in next weekend's NCHSAA state 2A championship at the Dean E. Smith Center in Chapel Hill at 2 p.m.
"We're battle tested. We've been in a lot of games that have different storylines and so we've experienced some lows," Kinston coach Perry Tyndall said. "We just don't have panic in these guys. The guys don't panic, they know, they trust each other and they execute.
"We're going to celebrate today, we're going to enjoy this moment and then it will be back to work on Monday."
Fairmont (25-6) came back from a 19-point deficit to defeat Whiteville in the conference tournament championship and on Thursday it rallied from 16 points down in the fourth quarter to stun Jacksonville Northside.
In front of a packed Crown Arena crowd, the Tornadoes weathered the initial Kinston storm but by the middle of the third quarter the Vikings had sailed right past Fairmont and were looking to a rematch of last year's state 2A championship, which Kinston won 58-55.
"We played hard all game, we just couldn't get any shots to fall," Fairmont coach Michael Baker said. "When you don't see that basketball go through that basket it's hard to continue to play defense.
"I'm not complaining about the shots we took. They just didn't fall for us. … I thought defensively we did alright, we just didn't make any shots."
The Vikings scored the game's first seven points but Fairmont answered with its own 8-0 run to take its first lead on a 3 by Kwinton Hinson with 2:40 left in the first quarter. The Tornadoes went on to lead 14-13 when the quarter was complete.
They hit their first three 3s of the game — all in the first quarter — but then the winds died down as Fairmont went 0-for-18 from behind the arc the rest of the way.
While it was busy missing shot after shot — Fairmont shot 27.1 percent (16 for 59) for the afternoon — Kinston was busy taking off as it outscored the Tornadoes 43-17 in the middle two quarters.
"We stay together, we play hard, we play smart and play together and put God first," Keyes said.
Brandon Ingram, who left following the victory to watch the Duke-UNC matchup in the same venue where he will play the Cavaliers six days from now, had 14 points and seven rebounds. Keyes added nine rebounds as the Vikings outrebounded Fairmont 50-33.
Keyes, Ingram and Dawson were named to the all-region team. Dawson earned MVP honors with 28 total points, nine total rebounds and 14 total assists in two games.
Defensively, Kinston's length gave the Tornadoes fits but at the same time they missed their fare share of open looks.
"This was a total team effort," Tyndall said. "It helps when you have balance and when they believe in each other anything's possible."
The Vikings, who won their 18th straight contest and haven't lost since a 50-47 setback to Cuthbertson in the HighSchoolOT.com Holiday Invitational on Dec. 28, enjoyed a manageable 34-23 lead at halftime but still didn't feel comfortable.
Two minutes into the third quarter this one was all but over.
Ingram came out firing, scoring the first seven points of the half as Kinston went up 41-23. The spurt followed a game-deciding 11-0 run in the second quarter that saw the Vikings go from three points down to eight points up in just under 3 minutes.
Fairmont cut it to four at 26-22, but the Vikings ended the half on an 8-1 run and the lead never dipped below 11 again.
"We'll have a moment where we separate, when we really start clicking," Tyndall said.
"I'm really, really, really, really, really proud of my guys. You know, I could sit up here and talk about all the little things and stats, but this group right here … this has been a fun group, man. It's been a really, really fun group."
"We try not to talk about going back (to the state championship) a whole lot because I didn't want that to be the focal point, but for these guys to go back to the state championship and to play the way they did in here today, I'm so, so happy for all of them."

Today I went on one of those long runs during half marathon training that you dread, because you fear what your body isn't capable of, what the weather will be, and whether or not you can conquer all the unknowns on the road ahead. As I approached the course, I found myself annoyed that I wouldn't be the only person doing this training run, because the

Tips To Prevent Memory Loss As You Age
(StatePoint) You may not realize it, but you can take steps to keep your brain fit and flexible as you age. In fact, some experts now say that through proper diet and routine mental health exercises, you even can delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease long enough to avoid experiencing the symptoms.
"The sooner you start to protect your brain against Alzheimer's, the sooner you will notice improvement -- not only in recall and mental focus, but also in energy level, mood, general health, and sense of well-being," says Dr. Gary Small, M.

(NewsUSA) - Most people believe that their homes are secure, but the statistics suggest that many homes are not. In 2008, over 2 million homes were burglarized, resulting in nearly $4.6 billion in total losses. The average burglary victim lost about $2,097 in property.
Burglars, for the most part, like easy targets. The good news? Criminals do not want to be seen, so a well-lit home and yard could deter would-be burglars. Motion detector lights illuminate yards and driveways without wasting energy, because they don't turn on until they sense movement.
Some motion sensors can protect your home with improved reliability, more dependable area coverage and stable performance.
Passive Infrared technology (PIR) technology detects heat from moving objects and also side-to-side movement. Doppler radar technology reacts to actual motion -- not heat changes. Plus, it detects movement toward and away from the home -- straight-on coverage.
For the past two decades, motion sensor lighting has relied on PIR, which detects heat from moving objects, such as people, animals, and cars. Unfortunately, these sensors can be triggered by changes in the wind and temperature, as well as stray objects like branches or leaves. A well-bundled burglar, for example, approaching a traditional motion sensor or product might not be detected on a cold night.

Coach Kevin Popadines has been confident in his Lejeune girls' basketball team since the start of the season.
And the Devilpups certainly haven't disappointed their first-year coach as Lejeune (24-0) has steamrolled most of its competition en route to tonight's NCHSAA 1-A sectional final at home against James Kenan (21-4).
"We definitely had the capability (of going to the sectional final)," Popadines said. "It was just a matter of how focused we stayed. We are there now. So it's just a matter of moving on from here."
The top-seeded Devilpups don't plan on stopping. With a victory over fifth-seeded James Kenan, Lejeune will advance to the East Regional semifinal in
The Devilpups and Tigers tip off tonight at 6 p.m. aboard
"I think it will (help) a little bit being at home," Popadines said. "I think we are ready to go."
Still, Popadines knows a win over James Kenan won't be easy for the Devilpups, the champion of the Coastal Plains Conference.
The Tigers finished second in the Tri-County Conference behind second-seeded
James Kenan is coming off a 61-55 victory over No. 4 Goldsboro on Wednesday.
"I know they are going to press us and that they like to get out and run," Popadines said of James Kenan. "We are going to have to pass out of their press and we can't put our heads down and dribble out of the press. We are going to have to bring our 'A' game. That's for sure."
Given the Tigers' pressure, a lot of responsibility will fall to Lejeune sophomore point guard Nikia Wallace, who has provided the Devilpups solid play from that position all season.
She's been reliable in that she doesn't turn the ball over a lot and that she finds open teammates for scoring chances.
"She's maturing," Popadines said. "She's not really a young player anymore. I think she will be ready to step up and lead us moving forward."
Senior guard Chatori Major has been the leader for Lejeune throughout the season. She averages 23 points per game. The Tigers will likely want to force Major to give the ball up, which means other Lejeune players such as senior center Chryssandra Tatum, senior guard Amber Overton and sophomore forward Lala Lee will be looked upon to play well.
Overall, Popadines hopes his team come out strong, something the Devilpups didn't necessarily do Wednesday night in a 63-43 second-round victory over South Robeson.
Lejeune managed to pull away with a 21-4 third quarter.
"If we play like we did in the second half, we will have a good chance of moving on," Popadines said. "It's done if we lose. I hope to see the light bulb turn on."

Swim Teams Rack Up Wins against Lenoir-Rhyne and Converse on Saturday
November 12, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. In a Saturday afternoon meet with Lenoir-Rhyne and Converse, Pfeiffer University claimed the top spot on the mens side and second on the womens at the Merner Pool. The Falcon men defeated the Bears 154-105 while the Lady Falcons split with a 148-113 win over Lenoir-Rhyne and 156-105 loss to Converse.
The afternoon started with a mens victory in the 200-yard medley relay as Mark Franz, Matt Burns, Andrew Corley and George Moreno topped the A team from Lenoir-Rhyne by just over a second. In the following event, the womens 1,000 freestyle, Samantha Maness put up a time of 11:30 for a second place finish. Vicky Miller followed with a runner-up touch in the 200 free at 2:05.30 while Kim Benton did the same in the 100 backstroke missing out on first by just .44 seconds.
Elijah Bohon and Robert Skinner would follow with a 1-2 finish in the mens 100 backstroke before Jillian Kniffen got in on the action with a second-place finish in the 100 breaststroke. For the men, Burns and Corley tallied back-to-back first place finishes in the 100 breaststroke and 200 fly while Moreno followed suit in the 50 free.
Moreno would make it two-straight in the 100 free just minutes later while Yukina Onoda scored her first individual win of the season in the 200 back. Bohon, along with Jim Roddenbery, registered wins in the 200 back and breaststroke in front of Corley and Bohon racked up another victory each in the 100 fly and 400 individual medley to start wrapping up the afternoon.
Both Pfeiffer A teams notched wins in the 200 freestyle relay to finish the day as Randi Bryden, Benton, Miller and Kniffen beat out Converse by just .36 seconds while the mens quartet of Lucas Signor, Bohon, Franz and Moreno topped the Bears by .98 seconds.
Both teams will be back in action next weekend for the three-day, Wingate Fall Frenzy held in Charlotte at the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center (MCAC).

Billy "White Shoes" Johnson was electric, elusive and explosive as a kick returner and wide receiver in the National Football League.
The fancy white shoes and elaborate touchdown celebrations were his trademarks. The 5-foot-9 speedster had 33 touchdowns in a 14-year career.
Johnson played in the NFL from 1974 to 1988 with the Houston Oilers, Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins. He was a three-time Pro Bowl performer, had 4,211 receiving yards and 6,258 return yards.
Johnson is bringing the NFL High School Player Developmental Camp, sponsored by the National Guard and the NFL, to New Bern from June 13-15. The program is free for rising freshmen to rising seniors.
"It's a great thing for me because there are a lot of issues that prevent ballplayers from becoming top-notch ballplayers, and that's basically with off-the-field issues," Johnson said. "This program is designed to educate athletes about the pitfalls they may have to avoid. It reaches a lot of young men."
Johnson, the inventor of the Funky Chicken Touchdown dance, is working to bring current NFL players to New Bern.
"The biggest thing about the camp is teaching them life skills, like setting goals, time management, the attitudes and discipline and responsibility," Johnson said.
The program will be held at New Bern High, but is open for any high school football player to attend.
Each player will receive a Nike practice jersey.
NFL players Cam Newton, Ray Rice and Eric Berry once participated in the NFL High School Player Developmental Camp
Victor Dove, who assisted in bringing it to New Bern, is hoping to get participating from players and coaches from across the state, but in particular Craven County, Pamlico, Jones County, Onslow, Carteret and Lenoir County.
"It's for everybody," Dove said. What we are trying to do is educate parents, as well as players, to position themselves to be recruited.
"How we do that is by offering life skills training to the kids."
New Bern football coach Bobby Curlings is the camp/site director. Curlings, who led the Bears to a state championship in November, is excited for New Bern to host such an extravagant event.
"There hasn't ever been one in the area, to my knowledge," Curlings said. "The closest one that I've seen in the past was in Charlotte.
"For it to be here, and have people come out and listen to some NFL people and get coached up, it's a great way to get the season started."
Curlings said he is strongly urging the players on his team to attend the camp.
"It's the weekend right after graduation and one of the weekends we can crank up together as a team," he said. "It's a free camp. It doesn't cost the players a dime. They will get a Nike jersey, great instruction and a great boost going into the summer."
The first day will consist of a two-hour life skills session. The next two will be all about football. There will also be a 7-on-7 passing league portion where the winner could earn a trip to regionals in Atlanta.

- May 11: Departure. We depart Cleveland and arrive the next day in Brussels, Belgium.
- May 12: Brussels. We arrive in the morning, and have the rest of the day to explore this wonderful city, visiting such places as the Grand-Place, the historic city center, several cathedrals, and the iconic Manneken Pis.
- May 13: Brussels. Today we venture out to visit the Belgian icons, the Atomium and the Palais de Justice, and in the afternoon there's some scheduled free time to wander on your own. Group dinner in planned.

In the afternoon, we will be visiting the European Union headquarters to learn about their role in European governance.
- May 15: Leuven. Some of the most beautiful medieval buildings left in the world are here, including its magnificent 15th century town hall. Leuven's Groot Begijnhof neighborhood was founded by a unique order of women in 1292 and now, a Unesco World Heritage site, is an ideal place for a walk. Wander the narrow cobbled streets and admire the homes, gardens and the church of this walled community.
- May 16: Bruges. This medieval city with its scenic canals and cobbled streets, beautifully decorated houses, old guild halls, and churches never fails to surprise and delight its visitors. We will wander around this city, exploring famous sites including the Basilica of the Holy Blood, climbing the stairs of the Bell Tower, shopping in the famous chocolateries and lace shops, and simply wandering the cobbled streets, soaking up the lovely atmosphere, munching a waffle or some frites with mayonnaise.
- May 17: Ypres and Ghent. Ypres was the deadliest spot on the 70-mile front held by Imperial and Empire troops in World War I. Over a quarter of a million men gave their lives to hold this last bit of Belgium from the Germans. Although history records three great battles, it was in fact a constant battle against shell, bullet, bomb, gas, water and rats. We will explore some of what remains of this historic battlefield. In the afternoon, we will make our way to Ghent, one of the country's noted art cities, a port city crossed by waterways and canals. We will enjoy a visit to the city's main highlights, including St. Bavo's Cathedral and the 13th-century castle Gravensteen.

In taking part in Dutch colonial heritage, this evening a traditional Indonesian rice table dinner is planned.
- May 19: Amsterdam. There's simply so much to see and do in Amsterdam. Depending on interests, we may visit the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum for the finest collection of Dutch old masters, the Anne Frank Museum, the flower market, Dam Square, and the Resistance Museum dedicated to the local culture and resistance movement during the World War II occupation.
- May 20: Delft and Leiden. In the morning, we'll explore the canal town of Delft, one of the most important colonial-era ports and the traditional home of Dutch pottery. The afternoon takes us to Leiden, another beautiful Dutch town with charming canal lined streets and lovely architecture. The birthplace of Rembrandt and the current home to the oldest university in the country, this was also home to the original Pilgrim Fathers for 12 years prior to boarding the Mayflower for their voyage to the New World.
- May 21: The Dutch countryside and Antwerp. We will take the coastal route along the North Sea back towards Belgium. There is the Zeeland Bridge to cross and the Dutch city of Veere, a historic port and fortress. We can see Neetje Jans, the movable Dam that safeguards the islands in this Province of Zeeland against the power of the sea. We'll then pass through Antwerp, known for numerous architectural highlights from the 16th and the 17th centuries. There's the Grote Markt to see, as well as the stunning cathedral, considered the most important gothic cathedral in Belgium.

User Reviews
Date Reviewed: December 1, 2012
Strengths: These tires offer several strengths and I'm sure I'll miss many. However besides the relative low price they roll fast, long, very very grippy, look great on my rig. I'm running them on my specialized fs and am riding 5-6 days a week for about 10 miles a ride. All offroad and lots of rocks, round and jagged. I've had one flat since May and it's December 1st- yes rediculous! I'm a climber and look to charge the rock gardens going up and looking to pump them on the flat and down. Tired of Strava this and that? Well not with these on. You'll know their working when your PR shows up all over your map. You can go wrong with these. I've still got great tread left and Moab three weeks ago they gripped just fine. Never put your foot down on a climb! Man up pedal or crash trying.
Weaknesses: The only thing limiting this tire is the one flat which I probably pinched it charging something!
weaknesses include listening to three things 1. legs screaming 2. brain telling me to slow down 3. my wife asking about what I bought for my bike:) but I do get to ride alot with no complaints. I love that part.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: November 4, 2012
Strengths: The tires and inner tubes I bought are not even near as good as what the desciption was on either.I spent approx.$135.00 for nothing that I could not have bought at Walmart for half the price. There re no strengths to what I was told and after putting the tubes and tires on the bike,same thing..Flat.The tubes failed and the tires are not worth the money.
Weaknesses: Who ever wants to buy the tire or tubes,these are no where near the price and they do not hold up like they are advertised.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: October 3, 2012
Strengths: Excellent grip and traction on dry/dusty terrain. I also like the looks of these tires.
Weaknesses: For some reason, they seem to attract goat-heads (Google if you don't know what they are.)
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: September 15, 2012
Strengths: Inexpensive, durable, excellent both front and rear
Weaknesses: None
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: September 13, 2012
Strengths: Grippy in dry and wet as long as its watery, not thick mud. High Volume.
Weaknesses: Heavy (I have old wirebead), and rolling resistance is nothing special. Thick mud clogs tread easily.
Bottom Line:
They tend to take commitment in a corner, they may let go but will hold an understeer, if confident enough to push on through. Turning technique feels a little different then most tyres.
If things get dry, I stop using them and go to something that rolls well.

Strengths: Great grabby tire. Put it on my SC heckler. They climb super good and grab corners like no other tire I have tried. Have been loving these definitely helped me get to the top faster.
Weaknesses: None.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: March 5, 2012
Strengths: These tires have great grip on climbs, and a pretty low rolling resistance considering the aggressive tread. I have climbed sections with loose rocks and dirt, hard pack, and stumpy terrain with no issue. I have even climbed up smoother surfaces after going through a creek bed with barely any slippage. Plus, at $32, a pretty good price point.
Weaknesses: Although the package claims for wet and dry conditions, there should be an astrisk next to the wet. If you riding through a creek bed, but the ground is dry, no issue. If the ground itself is damp, and no real mud presents itself, it's not an issue. But if you like slogging through the mud, it's a no go. If you actually go the weirwolf site, it expresses the same there as well (http://www.wtb.com/weirwolf/development.html). The only other issue I do seem to have is, although the tire claims to be able to take turns at almost any angle without washout, I find that not to be the case when going at a higher rate of speed. I'm still pretty new to mountain biking overall though, so it could just be technique (or lack thereof on my part).

Date Reviewed: September 12, 2011
Strengths: Excellent dry conditions tire. Less rounded profile than most other tires, so you don't have to lean it as far to get into the side knobs (cornering knobs). I have the non tubeless race version which is pretty lightweight. It spins up and rolls pretty well. Braking is first class. It holds your chosen line very very well, and tends not to push off the trail like other tires. It wears pretty good, too.
Weaknesses: This is not, I repeat this is not a tire to use if the trails are anything other than dry. It does not clean at all. It will pack up and hold onto mud with a death grip. Mud crossings on an otherwise dry trail cause it pack up, and make it slick.
Bottom Line:
Again, all this applies to dry conditions. If the tire will pick up mud on the ride, make another choice (I use Continental Explorers for that).

Date Reviewed: September 11, 2011
Strengths: I have run these Front and Rear -
Rear - This tire grips incredibly, the only time I have had trouble is when taking steep climbs out of saddle in sandy stuff. It grabs and grabs on everything else I have used it on.
Front - The tire has slipped out on me once, during a night ride at a section of trail that was chewed up. I was likely going to fast. I would recommend it. Though a slightly larger tire is better. I recently replaced the front with a WTB Stout 2.3 and the combination of Weirwolf rear and that front is amazing. I will never run a different setup.
Weaknesses: I had the front tire sidewall shred on me one day riding on pavement. I can only assume that something got inbetween it and the rim. The rear tire has given no issue.
Bottom Line:
They are great, if you see a deal, GET IT.

Strengths: Grip and corner well, shed mud well, great looking tire.
Weaknesses: Quite expensive.
Bottom Line:
So I decided to try the 2011 Weirworlf 2.1 on Front after "shopping" on mtbr.com the best tire that would fit my riding. I use it mostly in humid conidtions during spring and autumn and very dry conditions during summer, and I must say that this tire grips very well even at high speed. It certainly helped boosting my confidence in those turns. It also does not slip too much on wet roots/rocks.
Its only downside is his price here in Canada. I had to pay around 65$ for only one tire.
Overall, it's a very good tire and I would recommand it.

Date Reviewed: February 9, 2011
Strengths: This Review is for the New 2010 WTB Weirwolf XC TCS tire with the terraced side nobs. I ran the same tire in both front and rear, and I must say I have never ridden a tire that feels this amazing. In any trail condition, this tire will help you fly. The terraced side nobs will change the tire industry as we know it. The side nobs allow you to roll over and actually 'feel' the drifting effect depending on how hard you dig into turns- Very similar to holding an edge on a ski/snowboard. It takes a while to get used to, but eventually you will build up enough confidence that you will easily be able to get that two-wheel drift into turns without having to put a foot down. Then, when you finally start to feel your bike slide out from under you, you can really dig the edge in and slingshot out of turns.
Weaknesses: Price point - for the weight of these tires, its hard to pay 120 bucks for a pair.
The learning curve - At first, these tires are very skiddish and squirelly and I washed out numerous times on the simplest high-speed turns. But after a few rides and figuring out how to use them properly, I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend this tire to anyone from recreational to racing.
Bottom Line:
The bottom line is I have never had this much fun on a bike. These tires will make you more confident, faster, make you hit turns harder, and will give you an incredible euphoria on the exit of every turn.

Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Wednesday December, 5

Atlanta Hawks -2FOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Atlanta is showing some incredible value as a small home favorite tonight. While the Hawks were recently upset at home by the Cavaliers 111-113, they are a respectable 5-3 on their home floor this season. The Nuggets are a completely different team when playing on the road. Denver is 5-1 at home this season, but just 4-8 on the road.
The Hawks won't have any trouble matching the Nuggets up tempo attack tonight, as they will be playing for the first time in five days. This Atlanta team had won six straight prior to that loss to the Cavs and will be extremely motivated to get back to their winning ways.
Atlanta is a solid 39-22 ATS (64%) in home games after playing 3 or more consecutive games at home since 1996. They are also a respectable 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a S.U. loss and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 vs the Western Conference.

Milwaukee Bucks +9FOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Spurs are being overvalued here against a hungry Milwaukee team that typically plays them tough.
We can count on the Bucks leaving it all on the floor this evening following an ugly 102-81 loss at New Orleans in their last game. We can also count on them taking the floor with plenty of confidence considering how tough they've played the Spurs in recent years.
Milwaukee won the most recent meeting and has won or lost by fewer than nine points in 10 of the last 13 meetings. The Bucks are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in San Antonio. We'll bet the Bucks.

Play: Los Angeles LakersFOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
New Orleans only two wins verses struggling Milwaukee & LA Clips their L11 games. Normally, would leave this game alone, given Lakers coming off two disappointing losses to Orlando & Houston. In addition, LA playing b2b & 3 games in 4 nights. However, IMO, this puts the visitors in a desperate/must-win type situation, which leads me to believe LA will come with their best effort tonight. If anything, they should get off to a fast start. Los Angeles have won 6 straight in this series.

GONZAGA vs. WASHINGTON STATE
Gonzaga is just 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 road games and they're only 1-5 ATS in the last 6 visits to Washington State. Besides dominating the Zags at home, the Cougars are currently on a win streak of 6 straight ATS in their last 6 home games and they're 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Look for a low scoring game, where it will be difficult for either team to see a double digit margin, especially Washington State on their home court where they are 5-0 on the year.

Tonight my free play is on the San Jose Spartans catching points at UC Davis, as they look to go over .500 after an 82-74 win at Montana State last Saturday. Now 3-3 on the season, the Spartans should be able to pull off the outright win over the Aggies, even with this one being inside The Pavilion in Davis, Calif.
What this ultimately comes down to is a showdown between two of the top-20 scorers in the nation with the Spartans' James Kinney at 22.8 per game and the Aggies' Corey Hawkins at 21.4 per game. And personally I like the looks of San Jose with Kinney and his supporting staff rather than all the Aggies, who are 1-4 on the season.
UC Davis comes in after losing at Idaho, 73-66, this past Saturday night, and as of now the Aggies' only win of the season came at Sacramento State, 87-76, on November 20. That's not impressive enough for me to believe they should be favored over San Jose State.
I'm taking a shot here with much better Spartans in this one.

My free winner tonight is going to be on the Colorado State Rams, catching points in Boulder against intra-state rival Colorado. The Buffaloes may be laying the points in this game, but I think Colorado State is in better shape to win this one, despite having to make a 47-mile drive to Colorado's Coors Events Center for this annual rivalry showdown.
Colorado State comes in after defeating Evansville, 79-72, at home in their most recent outing, while the Buffs are in after a 76-69 road loss to Wyoming. And what Colorado may not realize about this Rams team this year, is with an experienced roster with seven letterwinners back from the 2011-12 season, they also are under the direction of new head coach Larry Eustachy, in his 22nd season as a head coach at the NCAA Division I level.
I'd have to say the blend of the Rams' experience and Eustachy's leadership is working nicely and this team is going to be your shocker in the Mountain West Conference.
Colorado State, which is receiving votes in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today Top-25 rankings, ranks as one of the top rebounding teams in the nation, leading the NCAA in rebounding margin with an average differential of 17.3 boards per game. That'll help against the Buffs, with them being the home team, as I would think the second-chance opportunities will be plentiful.
So forget the fact the Buffs are off to their best start since the 1982-83 season, when they started 7-0, I'm more intrigued by the Rams' impressive start. Take the undefeated Rams in their road clash against Colorado.

5-2 the last 7 days with my comp play selections.
Wednesday's comp play is the Los Angeles Clippers as the home favorite over the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs ended a four-game skid by beating hapless Detroit in their last outing despite trailing by as many as 11 in the early portions of the 3rd quarter.
Some of you might be pointing to history as a factor in this game... don't. History is out the window in my opinion. The Clippers have been bad for years while the Mavs have been a winning franchise the last 8. It's comparing apples to oranges. You can't do it and handicap this game accurately.
Dallas has won 17 of the last 20 vs. the Clippers so there is plenty of reason for L.A. to lay a healthy beatdown on the Nowitzki-less Mavs tonight.
The Mavericks are being led offensively by guard O.J. Mayo, who is averaging over 20 points per game this season, while forward Shawn Marion averaged 10.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in three meetings with the Clippers last year.
So what? Can they stop Blake Griffin? Can they stop Chris Paul?
I love the Mavs, but they just don't have the defense to compete with the Clippers for four quarters. Los Angeles just recently took the Thunder to overtime in Oklahoma City and showed me they are a true force to be reckoned with in the Western Conference this year... if they can stay healthy.
Los Angeles has won three games in a row since suffering through a four-game losing streak, coming away with a 105-104 victory over the Utah Jazz as two-point road favorites on Monday night.
The Clippers had lost their previous 95 games when allowing an opponent to shoot 56 percent or better from the field until beating the Jazz... but when you limit your turnovers while forcing some on the other end, you can overlook some of these stats.
Simply put, the Mavs are in for a long night tonight.
Take the Clippers as your free play of the day.

45-31 run with my freebies.
Wednesday's freebie is the Minnesota Timberwolves plus the points at Boston.
Since Minny wasn't tested last night in their 105-88 romp at Philadelphia, willing to go with the Wolves in this back-to-back situation, especially since this Boston team has not looked particularly sharp through the first month of the season.
The C's are only 9-8 straight up this year, and they continue to be a money-burner on their home hardwood where they are just 3-5-1 against the spread this season.
Minnesota has covered six of their nine road games this year, and they have held the upper-hand against the spread in this series, as the T-Wolves have covered six of the last nine series meetings versus the Celtics.
Minny comes in having won their last pair of games straight up and three of their last four overall, while covering in all four of those contests.
Until Boston shows a little more consistency on the court, I will go against them in the role of favorite.
Take Minnesota plus the points to make a game of it.

Temple (-3) at VILLANOVA
My free winner tonight comes out of the Big 5 up in Philly, and I'm taking the road chalk with the Temple Owls on the road at Villanova against Jay Wright's pesky Wildcats. Temple is laying -3 for a reason, and I won't fall for the trap of taking a Big East home underdog here when the right side is favored.
The Owls are unbeaten, and off to their best start since 1987-88 with their 5-0 start to the campaign. And now they come into this Philadelphia showdown having two of the last three meetings. Last season the Owls won 78-67, as Ramone Moore torched 'Nova for 32 points, while turnovers ultimately killed Villanova. The Wildcats gave it up 17 times, while Temple scored 20 points off those turnovers.
The game was played at a high intensity level, featuring 11 lead changes and eight ties.
And while it's easy to say 'that was last year,' I think Temple has a good chance of carrying over whatever it was it did last season, to this year's meeting with a senior-laden starting lineup.
Temple's five wins have come by an average margin of 11.2 points. Seniors Scootie Randall (15.8 ppg., 7.2 rpg.) and Khalif Wyatt (15.6 ppg., 5.0 apg.) have paced the Owls' attack. Wyatt was part of last year's win, as was Anthony Lee, who is averaging 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
Wyatt is the reigning Big 5 Player of the Week, and sits just a single point behind Randall in the scoring column (15.6 ppg.) while leading the Owls in assists (5.0 apg.).
The Owls roll into this on a 6-1 ATS streak against the Big East, and 6-2 at the road window, while 'Nova is mired in ATS slides of 6-20 at home and 1-10 against Atlantic 10 teams.
North Dakota State (-2') at MOREHEAD STATE
Not sure what it is about these smaller schools, but I tend to know best when it comes to playing teams like this. There really is nobody better, with a more accurate finger on the pulse, when it comes to games involving these small schools. Last year I made so much money riding South Dakota State. I haven't pinpointed my small school to follow this season, but tonight I'm taking a shot here with the North Dakota State Bison.
Morehead State continues its non-conference schedule tonight inside Johnson Arena, and is in after suffering a 66-57 setback at Wright State this past Saturday afternoon. North Dakota State, meanwhile, improved to 6-2 on the season after rolling to a 95-61 victory over Omaha last Thursday night.
Though they're in separate conferences, these two will face each other twice over the next 17 days, as they'll square off at Bison Sports Arena in Fargo on Dec. 21.
Leading the charge for the Bison is guard Taylor Braun, who was named Summit League Player of the Week, after averaging 11.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists over four games and was named MVP of the Progressive Legends Classic Pittsburgh Subregional.
Braun scored 12 points and pulled down six rebounds in an 83-80 overtime win against Youngstown State and had 11 points with a career-high six assists in a 14-point win over Duquesne. He finished the tournament with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists in a 66-44 win over James Madison.
Those, to me, are impressive wins over the MAC, Atlantic 10 and Colonial Athletic. I don't think scoring a win over the Ohio Valley tonight should be any trouble.

For Wednesday night, go with the Bobcats plus the points at home against the Knicks.
New York is 12-4 on the season, but ALL four of their losses have come on the road, and while they should have enough to hold off the Bobcats, let's keep in mind that the Knicks have a rather big game scheduled for tomorrow night in Miami against the Heat.
You saw Miami take their eye of the ball last night as they were stunned by the Wizards in Washington. Perhaps New York will also be off focus tonight and allow the Bobcats to slip inside of this roomy impost?
Charlotte has seven wins this season, and that already matches as many wins as they had all season long last year! The Bobcats have also covered in three of the last five series meetings versus New York.
With Jason Kidd trying to get back to full strength after dealing with a bad back, look for the Knicks to be just a little "sluggish" when it comes to the cover tonight.
Big look-ahead game at Miami tomorrow, and Jason Kidd not at 100% = Charlotte cover!
Take the points.

For tonight's free play, I'll go with Alabama in revenge at home against Dayton. The Tide were -10 last night, but are now -8 1/2 here in Vegas this morning. They're seeking payback after getting hammered 74-62 in Ohio in last year's meeting in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicated.
This is the first true road game for the Flyers this season. They're coming off a 17-point blowout of Northern Illinois as a 20-point home chalk. But in their previous outing, also at home, they were stunned by Weber State 62-61 as a 12 1/2-point favorite.
Bama got off to a 6-0 start before dropping its first game of the season on Saturday at Cincinnati when it fell 58-56 on a last second shot as a 7 1/2-point road dog.
Although the Tide will be without center Carl Engstrom, who got hurt in the opening minutes of the Cincy game, and guard Andrew Steele, who is sidelined for a third straight game, they remain the play here at the reduced price at home in revenge.

Dallas +8½
The hard-trying Mavs come into LA playing just one game in the last week, at home on Saturday. A 92-77 win vs Detroit. As such, it is an excellent situation to take advantage of a Clipper team who as they emerge to excellence are being defined by a clear pattern. The Clippers have characterized their 11-6 SU start to the season by beating the quality teams on their schedule. But when asked to cover at home against inferior opposition, they are just 1-4 ATS as HF of more than six points.This includes outright losses to Golden, Cleve, and NO. In short, LAC is playing to the level of their competition. This is a great spot to take advantage of that emerging profile.

Colorado State +4.5 over COLORADO: Both teams come in playing very well, but I feel that the better team tonight will be the Rams. CSU comes in at 6-0 on the year and they have been doing it at both ends of the floor. The Rams come in scoring 73.8 ppg on a very solid 44.8% shooting, while on defense they have allowed just 62.8 ppg on 42% shooting. The Rams have had 2 road games on the year and beat Washington and Denver, holding both teams to 55 & 53 points respectively. Colorado had a nice start to their year and they were ranked in the top 25 at one point, but they are coming off their 1st loss of the year and could come out a bit flat for this one. The Buffaloes have scored well this year but are a little vulnerable on defense, where they have allowed 68.3 ppg overall and 71 ppg at home. CSU also has the rebounding edge in this one (10th to 42nd) and they shoot 75+% from the FT line, while the Buffs are under 70%. Too many edges here for Colorado to overcome. Look for Colorado to suffer their 2nd loss in row.
Florida -6 over FLORIDA STATE: Florida is playing very well right now, especially defensively, where they allow just 48.5 ppg (2nd in nation) on just 35% shooting (8th). Not a good matchup for an FSU team that has averaged just 62 ppg in their last 2 games and that are coming off a horrible shooting performance vs a weak Mercer squad. The FSU defense did play well vs Mercer, but they still come in allowing 69.3 ppg, which is 236th in the country. Last year FSU went 15-2 at home, but they are not playing well this year and all 3 losses this year have been on this floor. I see the 4th one here as a better Florida squad will walk away with at least a 10 point win.
St Mary's -2.5 Over DRAKE: The Gaels are one of the best teams in a very underrated West Coast conference and they are off to a solid 5-2 start on the year. Offensively these teams score about the same, but the gaels hit 48.9% of their shots, while Drake hits just 44.9%. St Mary's also has the edge at the defensive end, where they allow just 66.2 ppg, while the Bulldogs have allowed 72.8 ppg. The Gaels are the better shooting team and the better defensive squad and should take this one by at least a TD.
South Florida/ Oklahoma State Under 124.5: Oklahoma State does play a bit of a faster paced game than the Bulls do, but they do not mind playing at a slower pace and you can bet that that's the way the Bulls want to go. The Bulls come in as an excellent defensive squad as they have allowed just 58.7 ppg on just 38.8% shooting for the year. The Bulls aren't the only ones that play good defense in this one as the Cowboys have allowed just 61.7 ppg on 35.9% shooting, which is 17th in the country. Both teams will not look to push tempo and with two good defenses on the floor I will look for this one to stay below 120 points.

Despite living in Mexico City his whole life, Moises Levy's photographical work is not particularly urban. He began his photographic odyssey nearly 20 years ago when he discovered how to combine his love for nature with his love for beauty through landscape photography.
As an architect, Moises Levy is singularly concerned with the manner in which light both defines and interacts with spatial environments. Whether he's focused on a line of saplings reflected in still water, a lonely tree bearing witness to the passing darkness, or huge rocks sculpted by time into strange and wondrous shapes. Levy treats natural forms as if they were carefully designed man-made constructions.
Levy's landscape imagery is distinguished by its minimalism where he tries to include as few visual elements as possible and still create a sense of mystery and complexity.Levy shared a selection of images shot on a trip to Iceland with his Phase One camera system, equipped with the new IQ260 digital back. Having an interesting approach to landscape photography, we got to know more about his work.
"I couldn´t believe I could achieve so incredible results without any complicated setting, the menu is very clear and straightforward to use and everything is at hand."
Your final images are often black and white, but some of the images you shared are color edits, why?
I think photography it´s about forms and texture, it´s very conceptual. I usually work with color when I feel the image would loose the basic idea I try to convey. For example the image,Tired Trees (Image1), is almost BW and the few color spots in the scene are very important. The image is the story about the tired trees that are loosing almost all their leaves; the only leaves that are left represent the change from autumn to winter. Converting this image to B&W could lose some of its essence.I've made a big print of the final image (240x100 cm) on cotton paper to give it a hand painted look. I like the small portions of color over the neutral color of the scene.
When and why did you choose to invest in a Phase One camera system and the IQ260 in particular?
I love working manually with digital medium format cameras. I have more control over the scene and the composition. I've tried to switch to 35mm DSLRs to make my workflow faster, but I always felt I lost something in the process. So, finally I made the decision to invest in the IQ260 digital back and keep a digital workflow without compromising image quality when shooting long exposures, in essence get bigger and better images.
Has the IQ260 lived up to your expectations?
The IQ260 is incredible. It is so easy to use. In the beginning I felt I was doing something wrong, I couldn´t believe I could achieve so incredible results without any complicated setting, the menu is very clear and straightforward to use and everything is at hand. I tend to get lost in my DSLR's camera options.
The main reasons why I chose the IQ260 was for its long exposure capabilities. I can keep shooting my long exposure images without any loss of quality and keep using the very best optics. Additionally, I have to mention the sensor size. It was a big concern for me because I didn´t want to sacrifice my wide angle lenses with a big crop factor, but with the IQ260's sensor I can capture everything in one shot.
What excites you as a photographer?
I like to discover and find new ways to look at iconic places and create magic, which others don´t see at first sight. I was on a trip to Iceland in 2013 with some friends and we were photographing at Skogafoss. After 2 hours I didn´t feel I had captured anything special, I discovered a small puddle in the ground and I knew that there was something to exploit and I captured one of my favorite images from that trip (Image 2). I don't know if the image is extraordinarily special or maybe it is just the fact I saw something new, something that nobody saw in that moment.
"It was a big concern for me because I didn´t want to sacrifice my wide angle lenses with a big crop factor, but with the IQ260's sensor I can capture everything in one shot."
What are your photographic aspirations for 2014?
I have already planed several photographic adventures to incredible places such New Zealand, Africa, and the West Coast of the U.S. And now with my IQ260, I'm so excited to go to even more locations all around the world.

Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
As part of our reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), Methodist University has developed a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). QEP projects are designed to focus on an aspect of student learning, must be campus-wide in scope, and involve students, faculty, staff, alumni, and administrators.
After consultation with students, staff, and alumni, the faculty of Methodist University voted in the fall of 2007 to adopt the following as our Quality Enhancement Plan:
The Methodist University QEP document was approved by the SACS On-site Committee during its March 2009 visit to campus, and the program was implemented in August 2009. However, as the QEP is an evolving campus-wide initiative, we still welcome comments and suggestions. Please contact our QEP Director, Arleen Fields, at or contact committee members at
Related materials are available at the QEP @ the Library Web site.
If you don't have time to read our entire QEP document, you might want to read our QEP at a Glance document below.

UNIVERSITY PARK, P.A. - Penn State, ranked #6 in the nation, snapped Pfeiffer University's five-match win streak with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-22, 25-18) victory in NCAA I men's volleyball action on Friday night. The victory sends the Nittany Lions to 7-1 on the year while the Falcons fall to 5-2.
Pfeiffer scored the first point of each set with a Penn State attack error, kill from Caleb Brophy and kill from Micah Bortner. The Falcons would have a late 18-17 set two lead on another Brophy kill. A two-point swing starting at 19-19 gave the Nittany Lions just enough breathing room in their 25-22 second set victory.
Brophy led all attackers with 12 kills on the evening while Bortner followed with seven. David Specian led in the assists department with 25 while libero Mark Hess popped up seven digs. Scott Kegerreis would lead Penn State with 11 kills in the match. Defensively, Pfeiffer would outblock Penn State in the team category 6-5.
The Falcons will quickly get back to action on Saturday traveling to St. Francis for a 7:00 p.m. matchup. Live stats will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

There are 2 simple demonstration examples which come with ActiveMQ. Firstly obtain the source code via either
- downloading a source distribution
- via CVS
Once you have a source distribution, try building it. Once you've managed to build the software you can run the sample demo application by running the following command
|Code Block
maven demo
This creates a simple cluster with a single node which watches other nodes join, update and leave and prints to the console when this happens. You can start other shells on other machines and perform the same command to watch nodes come and go.
Chat Demo
This is a little more adventurous, but only a little bit . Its a single class which implements a simple IRC style command line chat client. The class is called ChatDemo in the src/test/org/codehaus/activemq directory.
Since this application requires keyboard input it can't be run from inside Maven (long story - we have to fork VMs to run programs in Maven and so loose keyboard input ability). To try out this demo we recommend running it from inside your IDE.
To setup your IDE follow the instructions then run the ChatDemo class inside your IDE.

Sparking Creativity: Improving Electronic Brainstorming with Individual Cognitive Priming
2013, Journal of Management Information Systems
Alan R Dennis, Randall K Minas, Akshay P Bhagwatwar
Much of human behavior involves subconscious cognition that can be manipulated through "priming," the presentation of a stimulus designed to subconsciously implant a concept in working memory that alters subsequent behavior. Priming is a well-known phenomenon for individual behavior, but we do not know whether priming can be used to influence group behavior. We developed a Web-based computer game that was designed to improve creativity through priming. Participants were exposed to a priming game and then worked as members of a group using electronic brainstorming (EBS) to generate ideas on a creativity task. Our results show that when users played the game designed to improve performance, their groups generated significantly more ideas that were more creative than when they were exposed to neutral priming. The effect size was large, about as large as the effect size of EBS over verbal brainstorming.
Dennis, A.R., Minas, R.K., and Bhagwatwar, A. (2013), "Sparking Creativity: Improving Electronic Brainstorming with Individual Cognitive Priming," Journal of Management Information Systems (Special Issue), Vol. 29 Issue 4, p195.

In lieu of New Year's Resolutions, I'm posting a list of topics that I want to write about. I find that I have a bad habit of coming up with a topic, thinking a lot about it, but never actually writing about it. I want to write a bit more, so this post is to encourage me to actually write up the articles I'm thinking of.
Upcoming topics:
- Revisiting Warsong Gulch
- Selling Raid Spots (for Gwaendar ;) )
- Should Diminishing Returns from Honour Kills be Removed?
- Gear, Raiding, and Difficulty
- An Entry-Level Raid?
- Guild Application Questions
- Why Does the Shadow Priest Work as a Hybrid?
- My Super-Secret Crazy Idea
Also, the Super-Secret Crazy Idea requires graphs, so if anyone knows a Windows program that allows you to quickly sketch good mathematical graphs, please post. Sadly there's a Mac program, Graph Sketcher, which is exactly what I am looking for, but there is no Windows version. I don't really want to resort to MS Paint or Excel.

The actor died Tuesday after a short illness.
O'Shea said he "played Irish" many times throughout his career, including the iconic Irish role of Leopold Bloom in the 1967 film adaptation of James Joyce's "Ulysses."
He often played priests -- Irish and otherwise -- like in 1968's "Romeo and Juliet" and "Mass Appeal," the Times reported.
The actor also made regular appearances on the small screen, with roles in "Cheers," "Frasier," "The West Wing" and "The Golden Girls."
His character, Dr. Durand Durand, in cult classic "Barbarella" inspired British musicians Nick Rhodes and John Taylor to name their band Duran Duran.
Rhodes wrote on the band's website Wednesday that O'Shea's character would forever be linked "in a small way with a band who couldn't spell his name properly. He will be missed, thanks for the inspiration."
O'Shea is survived by his wife, two sons from a previous marriage and a number of grandchildren, the Times reported.
