"Yeah, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel." – The Doors, 'Roadhouse Blues'
Is there anything so sweet as a good, old-fashioned road trip?
Traveling by car has been an American institution practically forever, a rite of passage that every young person has to go through. Good tunes, a road map, and all the time in the world – that much hasn't changed.
But what has changed is that nowadays, we've got our music, maps and more all in the same place. Let's face it, smartphones are now a part of that tradition of hitting the open road and looking for adventure.
And Pure Mobile is rounding up the must-have mobile accessories that'll make your road trip that much easier – nevermind safer – with some of our favorite essentials for long car rides.
1: Car Chargers
No matter what, every road tripper with a smartphone needs a car charger. Even if you're resting between stops, we wouldn't count on waiting for the hotel or motel to charge your device.
In fact, once you get to a rest stop, a dead phone battery isn't such a big deal anyway. It's losing power when you're on the road that's an issue, especially if you get lost.
If you're planning on taking multiple devices, Moshi makes a great car charger that works across al iDevices – iPhone, iPad and iPod alike.
And if you're traveling with buddies, a universal phone charger, like Dexim's Twin USB Car Charger, will let you charge any kind of phone, from BlackBerry to Android to iPhone. It's even got two ports, so you can charge two devices at the same time.
2. Car Holder/Mount
Back in the day, your dad had your mom to distractingly flap a road map in his face. Nowadays, you have a passenger who waves around their smartphone with a maps app on, or you fumble between the wheel and your own device.
On a long trip, this kind of amateur setup just doesn't cut it, and a simple car window mount or smartphone holder will easily fix all that.
Lots of holders, like Griffin's In-car Window Mount, will work with almost every phone model and even with MP3 players. Do your so-pilot – and yourself – a favor and get one.
3. Bluetooth Car Kit
One quick way to ruin a road trip? Get pulled over for using your phone while driving.
Seriously, if you haven't got a BlueTooth car kit by now, don't you think it's about time? Plantronics and Novero both offer convenient models that'll let you navigate, talk, and listen to music hands-free.
Considering that half the fun of going somewhere by car is the time you spend getting there, you don't really want to waste the trip fumbling with your phone when you could be rolling down the windows and taking in the sights.
Bon voyage from Pure Mobile!

HEMPSTEAD PREPARES LIGHTHOUSE PUSH-BACKAlso: County waits for return call from Wang
Charles Wang's on-the-fly TV appearance on Saturday was not without an agenda. Point Blank has learned from political operatives and media insiders that the Town of Hempstead is preparing to release unflattering details about Lighthouse negotiations to some of its media favorites.
Wang may have acted surprised and faux-annoyed when Howie Rose asked him about the Lighthouse Project, but something must be understood. A major league sports team owner does not hastily request an interview on his team's broadcast, and then go on live TV without knowing what will be asked. (Worth noting: Wang did not speak with any other reporters in the press box – those he does not have some control over – just his friendly broadcast rightsholder).
Wang knew the interview would be about the state of his team's rebuilding project and the Lighthouse Project. For anyone to pretend otherwise – even as Wang told Rose, "I thought we weren't talking about this" and "You shouldn't be asking me this" – is foolish.
(Another mistake: the Islanders' telecast was not shown on MSG, MSG Plus or even MSG Plus 2. Buried on a channel so deep that even a former team PR director took a half-hour to find it, the broadcast featuring Wang was probably seen by the team's smallest television audience of the season).
In the interview, the Islanders owner said there have been no discussions with the Town of Hempstead since a public hearing in September. He also said he did not know if Ed Mangano supports the project because there haven't been any talks with the new Nassau County Executive.
As documented by reporters and bloggers since September, the Lighthouse has not paid Town consultant FP Clark and communication has been primarily non-existent between the developers and the Town.
Since I'm not on the Christmas card list of Hempstead honchos Kate Murray, Joe Ra or Mike Deery, I will not get their talking points and will gladly sit out the Hempstead affair.
I spoke with a high-ranking County official late Saturday night who argued that Wang is misleading Islanders fans by saying he hasn't heard from Nassau. "The County Executive has reached out to Wang and has not had his calls returned," said the source. Following Wang's edict for a media blackout on the future of the Islanders in Nassau or anywhere else, Lighthouse officials did not return my calls seeking comment.
If the Town of Hempstead was looking for a wise PR time to fire back, it has arrived now that the Islanders' recent positive momentum has been derailed by a depressing seven-game losing streak. The life of an Islanders fan is never easy.
If there's any good news in all of this, the darts expected to be thrown by Hempstead – and possibly returned by the LDC – sure beat the silence. Although the pacifist Islanders have engaged in as many on-ice fights in the last two months as Brandon Prust did last night (two), the gloves are coming off in the battle for the Lighthouse Project.
Even to the most casual observer it has been apparent for a long time that the developers are not going to get close to 100% of their massive project. They have their options – Queens, Brooklyn – but have been curiously hesitant to pursue them. To be sure, and with no pun intended, the next move is Wang's.
Comments on Charles Wang, arena politics, the Lighthouse Project and the future of the Islanders here. Talk about the hockey team continues below.

The founder and chief executive of Portland's first charter school has been fired following a disagreement with the institution for a "pattern of mismanagement." John Jaques was given the news by the board of directors of the Maine Baxter Academy of Technology and Science. Tom Porter has more.
Board Vice-Chair Allison Crean Davis says they became aware a month ago that crucial funding needed for the signing of the charter was not in place, and this caused the board to step back and look at management practices.
"it was not working for moving forward and propelling the school forward in a way that we needed to," she says. "So we've worked pretty swiftly and tireless to rectify that situation and put us on much better footing."
And rectifying the situation, she says, involved getting rid of Jacques.
As for Jaques himself, he claims to be the victim of some unethical behavior.
"There is no pattern of mismanagement," he says. "What has happened is there was an offer from a large donor and the donor requested that I be replaced as the executive director. And that condition-type of donation, I feel, is unethical, and it's really what's behind this action by the board of directors today."
Board Vice-Chair Allison Crean Davis did confirm that there is a major donor who was an early supporter of Baxter Academy and had lost confidence in Jacques' leadership.
"And we do have a donor that had been, actually, an early supporter of Baxter Academy and had lost confidence in John's leadership," Davis says. "So he was interested in reengaging, he was excited about the direction the board was taking and was willing to provide additional support, but was not willing to do it with John at the helm."
The executive director of the Maine Charter School Commission, Bob Kautz, says the commission has been monitoring the situation and will work with the Baxter charter school board as it searches for a new executive director. Kautz says he expects Baxter Academy will meet the reequirements of the public charter school contract and be able to open this fall.

As surprising as it may seem, considering I'm a dietitian and nutrition editor of EatingWell Magazine, my preferred variety of milk is the chocolate kind, especially after a workout. It delivers the mix of protein and carbohydrate our bodies need to recover energy supplies after an intense workout.
But at the grocery store, my choices don't just stop at plain versus chocolate milk. There's also fat content to consider and milk labeled organic, RBST-free and lactose-free. And beyond the grocery store, there's the raw milk versus pasteurized milk debate. With so many choices, how do you know which one you should buy? This guide will help you cut through the confusion.

Adriano Goldman, ABC, the Brazilian cinematographer behind the images in Sin Nombre, City of Men, 360, and Jane Eyre, began his career in television, so he understands electronic imaging. "I'm not nostalgic," he says. "But today, even the producers understand that while video cameras have improved, they are not better than film, and they are not cheaper and not faster."
Goldman's most recent project is Closed Circuit, which he photographed for director John Crowley (Intermission, Boy A, Is Anybody There?). The story, a thriller set in London's legal world, follows a team of lawyers who are also ex-lovers. The duo is forced to work together on a terrorist's legal defense, and soon find their lives threatened. The cast features Rebecca Hall, Eric Bana, Ciarán Hinds, Anne-Marie Duff and Jim Broadbent.
"John is a visual guy," Goldman says of Crowley. "He enjoys the process. He comes from a theater background, but he loves the storytelling techniques that come with filmmaking. John loves film and the texture it brings."
A contemporary film shot mostly on locations in London, Closed Circuit called for realism, with natural illumination. The production sought out interiors with large windows to facilitate lighting. One key differentiation highlighted by the cinematography is between the world of Claudia, played by Hall, and the world of Martin, played by Bana. Claudia lives in a trendy, light-filled London apartment that Goldman portrayed as bright and graphic. Martin, who is getting over a difficult divorce, lives in a smaller apartment that is darker and less inviting – even creepy, says Goldman.
The other settings were dark night exteriors in London, and grand courtrooms where the trial unfolds. For the night exteriors, Goldman imbued the images with film grain. "I tried to make it a little grittier and grainier sometimes," he says. "You still feel the film texture."
The format was 3-perf Super 35, for a 2.40:1 aspect ratio. Goldman used the frame to accentuate the characters' loneliness, and later in the story, it was conducive to elegant two-shots.
"This is a film about real places and real people – lawyers, judges and the government," says Goldman. "I prefer to call our approach realistic, as opposed to naturalistic, because it takes a lot of work to make it look real. The light comes from the windows, but there is always a reflector outside mimicking daylight. At the same time, it's an enhanced realism. That is the way I usually work. The design, location and wardrobe changes, of course, are specific to the project."
Goldman eschewed extreme angles or wide angle lenses, opting instead for a "classic, elegant and sober" look. The grand courtroom locations lent an August air to the proceedings. The production was only allowed access to these working chambers on Sundays, and they faced strict limits on rigging.
"These interiors were very beautiful," says Goldman. "You could feel the tradition. It was important to establish the weight of the law and how it affects these characters. It's absolutely different from shooting on a soundstage. We bounced sources on white walls, and in one case, they allowed us to have one big HMI balloon light. I think the London legal world is really well shown in the film."
The grip crew set up tracks for almost every dolly shot. That way, if Crowley decided to add some movement to a given shot, the work was already done. "I think that these subtle moves add a special touch to the movie," says Goldman. "Once we get into the thriller part of the story, STEADICAM and handheld cameras played a more important role, adding motion, speed and tension. In the second half of the movie, there are quite a few sequences where we chose unique compositions and more exciting camera work."
An ARRICAM LT was the main camera, with ZEISS Master Prime lenses, and two lightweight zooms. About 70% of the film was shot on KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219. On bright day exteriors, Goldman went with KODAK VISION3 200T Color Negative Film 5213.
"For some cloudy day exteriors, I used the 500T Film," he says. "I honestly think it's the best stock – I really like the grain, even when it is as fine as we get with the [52]19. I like the soft texture it gives me."
Goldman shot with a half Soft/FX filter on 90% of the film. "It gives me a little extra softness that I actually like very much, especially on close-ups," he says. "I can also put some sharpness back on the DI and I can still maintain the softness on the skin.
"I'm very happy with Rebecca's close-ups in the film," he says. "We want her to look beautiful, but not too much. I never wanted this to look like a commercial, ever. She is a real character, not a perfect female leading actor. I'm glad I found a way to make it look elegant and soft, and film was an important part of that. I don't really trust the skin tones on most digital cameras."
The digital intermediate was done at Technicolor Creative Services in London with colorist Paul Ensby – one of the best, according to Goldman. The decision to originate on 35mm film also paid dividends in post-production.
"The colorists I've been working with say that material originated on digital cameras feels like a thin negative," says Goldman. "With film, you can dig deep to enrich the image. There's a lot of latitude there, a lot of quality. We did the Closed Circuit grade in 80 hours, and we had plenty of time. We went through it four times. If I had shot on a digital format, I would have needed more time. The people at Technicolor gave us excellent service with no problems. They have seen everything, and they also think film is the better support for images."
Closed Circuit is scheduled for an August release.

At the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, HOLY MOTOR's writer/director Leos Carax swatted away the fourth estate like flies, each of whom essentially made the following simple, yet prying inquiry about his latest feature: "What does it all mean?"
After much ado, Carax reluctantly replied with a solemn, concise phrase that has since captured the minds of those who eagerly anticipate, and especially those who have already seen, the cinematic wonder that is HOLY MOTORS: "This is a film about a man and the experience of being alive."
HOLY MOTORS is the fifth film by French filmmaker Leos Carax, his first in thirteen years (the latest since 1999's POLA X) and it is unlike anything you have seen, heard, or dreamed. The film is difficult to explain without giving away its many pleasures. In many regards, the best way to experience HOLY MOTORS is to buy your ticket, take your seat, and experience it - to take our word for it, to take the word of the critics who awarded it the Critics' Prize at Fantastic Fest 2012, to let yourself experience something altogether cinematically different. The mistake many critics make is to review HOLY MOTORS in linear, descriptive terms. HOLY MOTORS is more like a series of unpredictable impressions, a maze in which the mind of both filmmaker and viewer wanders, not knowing where they will wind up next. It is not very often that a movie comes along that is as captivating, imaginative, and so literally breathtaking as HOLY MOTORS.
Let us at the Drafthouse invite you on a dreamlike journey into the world(s) of HOLY MOTORS, a trip that spans film genres as much as it is an autiobiography. A trip you will not soon forget. (Sam Prime)

Each year we put out the word to "Drag your big fat cans over to Stone!" for our annual collection for the North County Food Bank. This time we had the fun idea to give a little incentive for your good deeds: If you manage to fill the food collection bucket to the top, we pull out a rare keg from our archive for growler fills. We put out the word right before Thanksgiving, and the response has been phenomenal. In particular, today has been astonishing.
Between Team Stone and Stone Fans, we filled three big buckets past the top as of last week. The third bucket was sitting in the hall of our offices spilling over on the floor this morning with the fourth bucket barely filled in the Stone Company Store. Matt Steele called the good folks at the North County Food Bank to come and pick up the third bucket, and they were excited by the "beautiful!" news. Well, they'll get the sweet surprise of having to lug away twice what they were expecting! That's right, over the past six hours Stone Fans filled the fourth bucket, which means Erick Gordon in the store just put on a keg of Alesmith/Mikkeller/Stone Belgian Style Triple Ale.
This is by far the best turn out we've had from any year, and I'm excited to see how much we'll have collected by New Year's Day. I'm always moved by the show of support we get from our charity fund raisers and even in these troubled times your goodwill (clearly illustrated by the food buckets) is overflowing.
Cheers to all you folks for showing what a great bunch of Beer-Drinking-Humanitarians we all are. So keep dragging your big fat cans over to Stone, and have a Merry Christmas!
-Mike Palmer

Oh, yes, way to go to save instructor´s fees. By the way I know a guy who saved 3/4 a million bucks in tuition, room and board, books, you name it and eight long years of hard study by teaching himself everything he needed, and now calls himself a PhD.
Hah! Good one! I know one of those types as well--calls himself a doctor of nutrition, but I'm not sure what online paper mill sold him his sheepskin.
Shhh! - Dont say things like that around my buddy, DR. CHIROPRACTOR. He went to a shitty little dump called Parker College here in Dallas.

In between classes you can get a lap dance, a reach around and short stack of pancakes to get you going for the next class.
Two years later, you have that fancy paper that reads, "Doctor of Chiropractic" despite the fact REAL doctors dont recognize them. Incidentally, you may also have a mean case of the herpes.
Then, they go out and practice (I presume, still waiting on that part, this guy hasnt held a job in nearly 20 years, thanks to you and me). Thus far he has told me that those PhD types of doctors out there are brainwashed by the government to give you medications you dont need so they can control you.
Maybe I'll buy him a helo with a manual? Save the world from his "Doctor" practice?
May as well... We are all gonna be stuck with his $180,000.00 in student loans anyway! NO BS there either!

Registration number N101DN. According to the NTSB, it's a Hughes 269B, and the pilot was Cline Hogg, a rancher from Fontana CA. He was 58 at the time.
He had told the instructor he had 500 hrs experience, but declined to tell him for what type; only one hour in the past 90 days was for a helicopter of this make and model.
The instructor had told him to wait for him, and not to touch anything. The student declined to accept this instruction.

This guy's a good example why kids should be very wary of the music they listen to- they come with hidden messages- instead of believing he could fly he would've done better just learning how to fly.
Not nice of the surrounding pilots to turn their backs on him. He made a mistake. Help him to see what he did wrong not walk away and let him come back and do the same thing tomorrow.
Perfect opportunity for a flight school to dash in and sign him up I would say.
Would you even want this numb nuts in a cockpit with you 1500 feet up?
As in 'help me before I kill myself and maybe someone else"?
Queue the music for sorcerer's apprentice.
What part of "don't touch" do you not understand?
I'm not so sure I'd want Mr. Know-it-all in my flight school. First you have to " Unlearn him " and that takes too much patience.
Thats why we need to control guns...........
Yet another example of brain mass being inversely proportional to owner's perceived testicle size. Safe bet he is American.

A second career used to mainly be the challenge of those that retired early and still wanted to work. But nowadays, with a changing economy, jobs fleeing areas to other countries and downsizing, it has become a much more common thing to do.
Yet, even though those in the 30s and 40s may have to face it, they can learn some lessons from those that are older, that had to do it long before it was seen only as a way to survive.
"It was more than just having to change; I wanted a change," said Brock Sinoway of Carbonville, who at age 43 changed what he wanted to do with his professional life in 1994. "I found that I was tired of what I was doing even though I was good at it. I wanted something more."
Sinoway is a now a consultant that helps government agencies through changes like budget cuts, downsizing and culture shifts. He worked for years in a business that sold materials to the government agencies, during which time he saw some agencies operate better than others.
"Mine was an education of experience," he explained. "I found that some local government agencies ran better than state agencies and the same was true of federal departments. I started to ask questions and along with my sales started aiding my customers in how to run their operations. Eventually I found myself actually doing more consulting than actual sales. I asked a number of my customers if they would pay for what I had learned and they said yes. I quit the company I had been working for 15 years and started my own consulting agency. I am not getting rich, but I am having a lot more fun doing this."
Though the United States Department of Labor notes it's difficult to pinpoint how many career changes the average worker undergoes during his or her lifetime, career coaches typically say men and women will undergo between three and seven career changes during their lifetime. Of course, such estimates no doubt include career changes at the onset of a one's professional life, when many people are not precisely sure what they want to do for a living.
The gateways to those changes come in many forms. For some it involves education, for others it is dissatisfaction with what they are doing for work, others see opportunity and for others it is a necessity. Necessity is the one that is the hardest to deal with. The loss of one's job due to downsizing or a business failure is always tougher than making plans to move into a bright new future.
But wait; if you have a choice, ask yourself if changing what you do for a living is really what you want to do. Here's why.
People who sometimes hate their jobs and are considering changing to another field of endeavor may not really be looking at their present career with clear vision. You can dislike your job for many reasons; the work is boring, no one says thanks, the pay is poor, your boss is a jerk, etc. But does that mean after all the years you have put in and learned the skills in your job that all jobs doing the same thing are like your present one? Maybe not.
That future can take two tracks. One is making it on their own by starting a business. The other is to find a new career working for someone else. In both there are advantages and pitfalls.
For older workers, the uncertainty lies less in what they want to do and more in if they can pull it off. For those who have already decided what they want to do, consider the following tips to help ensure that dream becomes a reality.
Patience is always a virtue. Aside from being qualified, the most important thing a person changing careers can be is patient. A successful career change seldom happens overnight. Some career changes might require returning to school. Others might not require a new degree but might require an established professional start from the bottom up. Whatever the situation, it's best to remain patient. If your new career is worth pursuing, be patient enough to see it through.
Network to find what is out there. Networking is often seen as an opportunity to advance within your own industry. However, networking can be just as valuable when changing careers. People within your network might be able to introduce you to new contacts outside of your industry. These contacts, even if they don't have a job to offer, can often provide valuable insight into the industry you're attempting to enter. The fact is you should never, ever switch careers without having a network in the new area you plan to labor in.
Volunteer to break into a career or to gain knowledge. If your second career is going to be a complete 180 from your current field, it might help to volunteer and gain some experience before beginning a job search. Volunteering can prove beneficial in many ways. First and foremost, it provides potentially valuable experience you likely don't have, and that experience may help down the road when you begin looking for a full-time position.
Another benefit to volunteering is it can provide a genuine look into the industry you are thinking of joining. This will either strengthen your desire to enter this new field or might encourage you to think more deeply about your pending career change if the field isn't quite what you thought it was going to be.
Finally, volunteering can be a great way to get your foot in the door. Should a position open up, a company is much more likely to consider the man or woman who has been volunteering at the firm than someone they don't know.
And if possible, volunteer while you are keeping your day job. That way you can be sure to make the jump while you are still financially stable.
Be flexible concerning any career switch. In today's job market, the flexible candidates are more likely to be successful. When changing careers, be as flexible as possible. Determine to if relocation is a viable option, and assess your financial situation to determine how much financial flexibility you have. Career changes often come at the expense of a smaller salary. If your financial situation does not allow for a reduction in salary, now might not be the right time to change careers.

On December 8th, 2011, the Orioles dealt LHP Jarret Martin to the Dodgers for Dana Eveland.
At the time, Eveland was a non-tender candidate and many wondered why Duquette traded for someone who may have been released within the next week.
I always liked Martin's power arsenal and questioned the deal at the time. Eveland did pitch 32.1 innings for the Orioles but put up 0 fWAR due to his 4.86 FIP.
Martin posted a strong K rate, good GB rate, and held hitters to a .221 average this year in A-ball. He was old for the level but his stuff remains outstanding and I think he's still a solid relief prospect.
Duquette mostly made up for the Henry trade and this trade by acquiring Jason Hammel, but he may have dealt two future relievers for pieces that did not really benefit the Orioles.

Top 3 favourite kitesurfing spots?
Madagascar for its wildness, wildlife and remote, amazing kiting and surf spots
Ireland for its magic, emerald waves, wind, wild beaches, people, rainbows and Guinness! (And I can take my van, dog and all my toys there!)
Morocco and the Western Sahara because it has loads of donkeys and classic kiting and surfing conditions!
Favourite gear set up?
The Evo is my dream kite for travelling and competing and it has never let me down even in the most extreme of conditions. I can rely on its performance in the waves, for freestyle (new school and old school) and even for teaching beginners or friends who want to progress and pull off new moves safely. The only problem is when people try my Evo's it's hard to get them back! My preferred set up is on 19m lines, 5th element.
As for directional boards I'm extremely impressed with the 2011 range shaped by Sky.
I use the Whip 5'5 strapless in small, fun size waves. Its fast, snappy and super responsive with a custom surfboard feel to it. Then when the swell and wind gets up I ride the Kontact 5'10 which absolutely rips.
For freestyle – the Soleil 134 has transformed my freestyling and with this board I can enjoy freestyle whatever the conditions. Its so super comfortable that I can stay on the water for twice as long and now have the confidence to try powered moves because I can rely on its smooth landings and its perfectly customised tweaks for us females ;-)
Favourite music Top 5?
Asa - 360
Nneka – Africans
MGMT – Time to pretend
Ben Fernihough – Lightening sings a lullaby
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Cat or dog?
Of course a dog because they are so faithful and they love hanging out on the beach and in the sea!
Vegetables or Pizza/Burger?
Vegtables because you can do lots of stuff with them!
Girls or boys ;-)?
Girls! We have way more fun and boys are annoying!
Water or Champaign?
Water. Champagne taste like sick
Car or bike?
Van because then you can put the bike in it!
City or beach?
Beach for sure because it's easy access to the most essential thing in my life…the sea! Cities are polluted and make me Closterphobic!
Pink or black?
Depends which mood
Plane or roadtrip?
Van trip because you can take all your kites, boards, toys, shoes, clothes, dog, bed and not stress about paying for excess baggage!
What did you ever want to say?
'Its about action not words'
AND… My sponsors North, ION and Animal are awesome!

|Two Hurt as Lightning Strikes Parkway Tree
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 17 July 2013 17:07
A Catawba County couple were rushed from the Blue Ridge Parkway to Cannon Memorial after a bolt of lightning struck the tree the two were seeking shelter under from that line of quickly approaching thunderstorms that raked the area from mid afternoon through the evening.
The lightning strike happened very close to Grandfather mountain near mile marker 306 around 3 yesterday afternoon. Two U-S Park Rangers arriving at the scene said that the bolt appeared to have struck the top of a hemlock, blasting shards of wood across the pavement at the overlook, injuring the man and woman who had ridden in on their motorcycle. Rangers said today it was evident that the woman was injured by a direct lightning strike, with entry and exit burns on her body. She has been transferred to Carolinas Medical Center and is in stable condition, her husband released after treatment from injuries more from the explosion of the tree. Parkway Police did not release the names of the Newton couple.

OXBOW–Another day, another three points for Lake Region's Tyrah Urie, as the sophomore had two goals and an assist to help lead the Lady Rangers past Oxbow Olympians 3-0.
"I am happy with our overall team effort, although I would like to see a little more consistency," said head coach Brad Urie.
Nine minutes into the game LRU got on the board when Urie converted a direct kick by Ashley Locke for what would turn out to be the game-winning goal.
NEWPORT–UCA's girls soccer team played in their home opener on Tuesday, hosting Winooski at Gardner Park, and while they lost 4-3, head coach Molly Smith likes what she saw from her team.
"I believed we shocked them, they thought they were going to come in and score many goals on us but we stood our ground and when they scored we came right back and scored, the game was at heart skipper.
"I think we earned some respect today, that we are not just a bunch of girls playing soccer,we are a team to beat.
Newport, VT and Magog, QC–On September 8th, 2012 seven marathon swimmers undertook the 25 mile, international swim, going the length of Lake Memphremagog between Newport, Vermont and Magog, Quebec. Swimmers departed in two waves from The Gateway Center in Newport. The first group of four left at 12:12 am with the second wave of three leaving an hour later at 1:12 am. The plan was to start the faster swimmers later so that the distance between swimmers would compress during the night before it spread out later in the swim.
On Monday, the UCA Crusader boys picked up their first win in their second game of the young soccer season, defeating Mid-Vermont 5-2.
Jon DeLaBruere opened the scoring about 4 minutes into the game with a beautiful shot into the corner of the net from outside the 18.
The Crusaders were just getting started.
Justin Limoge and Dale Martell's goals increased the lead to 3-0 before Mid-Vermont got on the board on a header by Austin Sayer.
Sayer was able to redirect a corner into the net to cut the lead to 3-1.
The construction of the new gymnasium at Craftsbury Academy has been a team effort between the school and members of the community.
Thirty-eight landowners donated approximately 180 trees, including 8,860 feet of Sugar Maple for the main floor and 2,860 of Yellow Birch for the out of bounds area, towards the construction of the new gym.
Tom Lathrop of Vermont Specialty Wood Products from Bristol, VT, manufactured the wood for the school at a huge savings (aprox. $35,000.00).
Don Blake from Morrisville donated all the nails, and Menard's Agway donated flooring nailers.
ORLEANS–To say Tyrah Urie is off to a good start this season would be like saying that the sun is a relatively warm place to be.
Well, much like the sun, Urie is on fire.
After scoring twice in the season opener at Lyndon, she doubled her output on Saturday, banging home four more goals in a 4-1 win over Richford, bringing her season total to six, leaving her an average of a hat-trick per game in the young season.
"Sometimes when the skill isn't good and everyone's effort stay's up, you can win some soccer games," said coach Brad Urie.
ORLEANS–Folks in attendance at the Lake Region-People's Academy boy's soccer game on Friday came away with a sense of how well this year's Rangers can play, as they more than held their own against a traditionally very good Wolves team in a 2-0 loss.
"I think we played with a lot of heart, a lot of desire, and we created some chances," said coach Tom Evans.
In fact one could argue that for several stretches of play, Lake Region was the better team.
What was working for the Rangers early was their collapsing style of defense.
NEWPORT–Matt St.Amour's penalty kick goal with 10:50 left to play in the first half was all the scoring that the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds needed, as they played the role of spoiler in the North Country boys' soccer team's home opener, winning the contest 1-0.
Although this makes two losses in a row, coach James McKenny is philosophical in his take on the situation.
"We do have somewhat of a luxury, being that it is early in the season and we can try and make some moves within the line-up and how we look on the field."
North Country 30, U-32 40
EAST MONTPELIER–The North Country football team took a 30-28 lead into the fourth quarter, but would never score again as the running game of the Raiders was too much for the Falcons to handle, and they fell by the final score of 40-30.
"Things were going well, but we just could not stop their running attack," said coach Tim Simoneau as he team now stands at 0-2.
"The offense however was doing exactly what I wanted them to do."
LYNDON–After a scoreless first half, Tyrah Urie picked up right where she left off last season, netting both goals in the Lady Rangers 2-1 win over the Vikings on Wednesday.
"We played well at times," said coach Brad Urie, who was happy to get the win, but not one hundred percent pleased with his team's performance on the field.
The first half was a back and forth forty minutes of soccer with neither team getting the upper hand.
Early in the second, Urie netted her first goal of the season, a header off of a pass from Hannah Leroux.

As MusicRadar rightfully point out "You'll never get them to say it themselves, but Killswitch Engage played a major role in the emergence and resurgence of modern metal." In this great new piece, the guys at MusicRadar sat down with Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel to get some helpful tips on mastering metalcore!
The guys had this to say on the subject of writing new songs:
Joel: "We eat a lot of pizza! That always seems to happen when we're writing for some reason!"
Adam: "When I'm writing, I sometimes like to not have my instrument and just write in my head. I find that better ideas come out of that. Then I sing it into my iPhone - always - that's the best way... I think when you force songs out, they don't come out as good as when they're natural and inspired."

|Georgia Woman Charged Passing Bogus Checks
|Written by Steve Frank
A forged check incident investigated by Blowing Rock Police expanded to other agencies and landed a Georgia woman in the Catawba County Jail. Blowing Rock officer Anthony Biard responded to Tanger Outlets the evening of December 20th after an employee at Jockey
discovered that a traveler's check used to pay for merchandise was a fake. Officer Biards investigation found that counterfeit traveler's checks had been used at half a dozen stores at Tanger to obtain hundreds of dollars in merchandise and cash. The checks had been passed by a black female using the alias Desaray Williams with a Nebraska drivers license. Officers Biard was able to obtain a good description of the suspect and the vehicle and immediately gave that information to neighboring police agencies. That turned up that the same suspect used the same counterfeit checks to steal from a least one store at Boone Mall in Boone. With the Blowing Rock information, the suspect was apprehended in Hickory later that evening, leading to Lt. Detective Angel Mahaffey driving to Hickory to interview the suspect. Mahaffey identified the suspect's real identity as 26 year old Delora Renee Glasco of Atlanta Ga. Multiple felony warrants were obtained on Glasco for uttering forged instruments and obtaining property by false pretense, and Glasco was charged and held in the Catawba County Jail.

Just wanted to say thanks for the update!
I agree with the gang: Quad = 3x and the easier jumping are really a bad ideea.
Looking at a sig in a post on another thread made me think about the quad being downscaled from 4x to 3x.
Effectively it went from being 5x to 4x. If you look at it as having been 4 times more powerful on top of the hit/damage value as 1, it was 5. So 3 more hit damage on top of the 1x damage the weapon already causes, brings it up to 4x.
QUAD DAMAGE (in a big booming voice)

NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHTTags: None
Re: NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHT
The battle of losing weight can sometimes be a difficult achievement but one worth all the effort needed to succeed. The basics is where I like to start people off when talking about weight loss. I will list some keys below to help get you started but by no means is this the be all end all.
Eat 5-6 small meals everyday
Drink 64-128oz water daily (high consumption for days when activity is higher)
Try to stick with 1800 calories a day focusing on protein and carbohydrates
Cardio is very important and should be done 5-6 days a week. Start slow and work your way up.
Use a protein shake with 5 grams of fiber as a night time snack to avoid late night eating
Weight training is also an integrate part in keeping you strong. Incorporate 3 days a week with a simple upper body/lower body routine
Avoid sugars and fried foods. (ex soda, candy, fried chicken, french fries etc)
Please if you have any questions about the above just reply back. I hope this helps you get started to your road to joining our amazing team.
Re: NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHT
Run like nobody's business! Don't stop till you feel like puking. LOL. I had to make tape being that I'm overweight for my height. Cardio will make you lose weight the fastest. Leg workouts also burn a lot of calories (stomach). My recruiter told me to keep running and if avail, get on the endless stair machine and do it as long as I can. Don't worry about your weight too much, you just have to make your allowable body fat percentage.
Re: NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHT
Drink atleast a gallon of water a day.... Since your body is not used to exercise yet, I would say split up what you do into two sessions on most days of the week. Go on a long (60+ min), brisk (no huffing and puffing, but slightly uncomfortable at first) walk 4x a week. Look into the Couch to 5K program... just google it. And start building muscle. Although muscle weighs more than fat, it will help your metabolism... train your legs the heaviest as gains are quickest/easiest here. Add in arms/shoulders/chest/back twice a week.
Main thing you gotta do is get moving.. and drink lots of water. Do the C25K (3x/week), longggg walk (4x/week), and muscle strengthening exercises (5x/week). And keep in mind that 70% of weight loss happens in the kitchen. Dont eat anything that wont go bad for weeks and limit starchy carbs. Youll be under 180 by the start of summer if you stay consistent. =)

You say you can't lose more than ten pounds. So why don't you lose ten pounds seven or eight times? If you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight. You can't beat physics.
Re: NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHT
Re: NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHT
There are two ways to lose weight unless you're the one of one million people who have legitimate hormone problems. These are:
1) Adjust diet (reduce food eaten or preferably improve quality of food eaten, cutting out processed foods and things that arent natural. Increase fruit, vegetable, fish, meat, and other natural intake, decrease sugar and un-natural stuff).
2) Increase physical activity.
Optimum weight loss is achieved by doing both. These are lifestyle changes not temporary remedies. Feel free to drop me a PM if you want.
Re: NEED HELP LOSING WEIGHT
Losing weight is easy once you get in the mindset that you want to lose weight. When I first decided that I wanted to join the National Guard I was 5'9" and weighed 270lbs as a male. I have lost 27lbs and about 4-5% body fat in about 3 months. What everyone says about watching what you eat and exercising more is basically it. I workout 6-7 days a week doing some sort of cardio for 30-45 min a day; whether it be walking at a 10incline and 2.9mph, jogging at 5.5mph (started at 4.7mph), interval training (sprint a lap, walk a lap), and I do a spinning class once a week. Two days a week I workout twice a day with cardio in the morning and weights in the evening. I also see a personal trainer once a week and he puts me through various military style endurance workouts. My caloric intake went from about 2800-3000 calories a day to 1500-1800 calories a day with one day being a "junk day" where I will go for ice cream or a couple slices of pizza with the gal. I also have almost completely cut out alcohol except for special occasions or one day every other week.
My food intake is as follows:
Breakfast: 400-600 calories
2 eggs
1 banana
1 whey protein shake
Snack:80-120 calories
Dannon Light& Fit Strawberry Greek Yogurt or an Apple
Lunch:300 calories
Turkey Sandwhich, Salad, or Soup
Snack: 35 calories
1 serving of baby peeled carrots(about 20 carrots depending on size)
Dinner: 600-800 calories
Grilled Chicken, Baked Fish, Turkey Sandwhich, Chili, or Soup
1 serving of planters mixed nuts
2-3 cups of frozen vegetables
1 whey protein shake
I still have 13lbs to go to reach my goal of 230lbs before October. If you have any questions you can send me a PM and I will try to answer anything as best as I can. I am by no means a certified trainer/nutritionist and I'm sure there are other things that you can do that will work for you, but this is what has worked for me thus far.Last edited by jwald; April 8th, 2013, 09:22 AM.

Submission HIV Vaccine Trial Shows 90% Immune Response ->
fergus07 writes: Researchers at the Spanish Superior Scientific Research Council (CSIC) have successfully completed Phase I human clinical trials of a HIV vaccine in which 90% of volunteers developed an immunological response against the virus. The MVA-B vaccine draws on the natural capabilities of the human immune system and "has proven to be as powerful as any other vaccine currently being studied, or even more", says Mariano Esteban, head researcher from CSIC's National Biotech Centre.

I am after a hammock for car camping and home use so weight is totally irrelevant. What is relevant is ease of use and mosquito and rain protection. I know a lot of the hammocks here are ultralight things and I was wondering if there is a whole new category of hammock manufacturers when weight is not an issue?
Peter,You might want to check out Hammock Forums.com While there are a number of backpackers on that forum, there are also a lot of car campers and others that aren't as obsessed with weight factors, and you can learn more than you ever thought you wanted to about hammocks :-)
Thanks for that

+1 on visiting HammockfForums.net. They have a ton of great info.Generally, though, if you're looking for ultimate comfort, I'd recommend either the Dream Hammocks Dangerbird (the 11-foot-version):http://www.dream-hammock.com/DangerBird.htmlor the Warbonnet RidgeRunner:http://warbonnetoutdoors.com/ridgerunner.phpBoth are INCREDIBLY comfortable and have built-in bug protection. The styles are a bit different - the Dream Hammock is a gathered end (more traditional) and the RidgeRunner is a bridge hammock. Generally speaking, most find the RidgeRunner to be a bit more comfortable, but may not choose it due to the weight penalty of the poles. Again, if using it at home/car camping, though, it's not an issue. You really can't go wrong with either choice.As far as tarps, if weight isn't a concern, it's tough to beat a Warbonnet Superfly. Tons of coverage, closable doors and a decent price:http://warbonnetoutdoors.com/tarps.php

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
Part of the allure of living in rural Utah is the abundance of outdoor recreational choices.
In addition to the benefits of being in nature and promoting an active lifestyle, the nearby public lands offer individuals and families a free way to spend quality time.
But a new act working its way through the United States House of Representatives, the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (HR-3283), could limit public land access to people who pay a fee.
Since 1996, the U.S. National Park Service said it has been authorized to collect fees under an experimental initiative, the recreational fee demonstration program.
"Under the trial program, Congress authorized four federal land management agencies, the national park service, the fish and wildlife service, the (U.S.) Bureau of Land Management and the forest service, to charge fees to visitors," indicated the park service. "Originally authorized for three years, the program has been extended four times. Congress is now considering whether to extend the program a fifth time or make it permanent."
HR-3283 would encapsulate the fee demo program and implement permanent access fees on units of the national park system, national conservation areas, national recreation areas, national monuments, national volcanic monuments, national scenic areas and other areas of substantial investment by a federal land management agency.
The Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments has taken a strong stand against HR-3283 and, particularly, the fee demo program. According to SUALG, the bill would have a negative impact on local business and tourism.
The bill would "grant broad discretion to federal land management agencies to extend recreational fees to public and forest lands generally, thereby authorizing the criminalization of those activities and that simple access which has been exercised by the general public since the beginning of the Republic," states a resolution adopted by the executive board of the SUALG.
"The concept of paying recreational demonstration program fees to use public lands is contrary to the idea that public lands belong to the American people and are places where everyone is entitled to access and is welcome, a concept that has been and should remain in place," continues the resolution.
SUALG, in cooperation with the Western Slope No-Fee Coalition, also contends that collection of the fees will cost nearly 50 percent of the revenues raised.
In addition, the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments maintains that the fee demonstration program discriminates against people with lower incomes.
But the U.S. National Park Service indicated that 80 percent of the money remains in the parks, which creates an incentive to make local improvements.
In section two of the federal bill, it states that the purpose of the act is to accomplish the following:
To enhance visitor opportunities regarding federal public lands by creating a seamless federal system of recreation opportunities.
To enhance the visitor experience by investing recreation fees in improving recreation opportunities regarding federal public lands.
To reduce the huge deferred maintenance backlog that adversely affects visitor use and enjoyment of federal recreational facilities and lands, by focused use of visitor fee revenues.
To help protect and enhance the natural resource, historic, cultural and other special values of federal public lands and national parks that attract hundreds of millions of visitors every year.
To establish a permanent recreation fee program so that important investments in technology may be made.
To streamline, simplify and improve the recreation fee program.
To streamline, simplify and improve the interagency national recreation pass program.
HR-3283 pledges to establish fair and equitable recreation fees, taking the following guidelines under consideration:
The benefits and services provided to fee paying visitors.
The public policy or management objectives served.
The effect of multiple fees charged to the public.
The direct and indirect cost to the government.
The revenue benefits to the government.
Fees charged at comparable sites or by other public agencies.
The economic and administrative feasibility of fee collection.
The price of the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass.
Recreation fees would not be charged for persons under 16 years of age, for outings conducted for noncommercial educational purposes by schools or bonafide academic institutions, for any person who visits a unit or area under the jurisdiction of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and is the holder of a valid migratory bird and hunting and conservation stamp, or for any person engaged in a nonrecreational activity authorized under a valid permit issued under any other act, including a valid grazing permit.
No fees would be charged at specific national park system units, including the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, the Independence National Historic Park, the Statue of Liberty National Monument, the National Park System units in the District of Columbia, the Arlington House-Robert E. Lee National Memorial, any national park system unit covered by section 203 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, other than Denali National Park and Preserve and any national park system unit containing a deed restriction on charging entrance fees.
For those who frequent national public lands, H.R.3283 will also establish an interagency national pass called the America the Beautiful pass. The pass, will be issued on an annual basis for a fee to be determined.
According to the No-Fee Coalition, the cost of the pass is estimated at $85 and failure to purchase and display would be punishable by a $100 fine. Subsequent offenses would be misdemeanors punishable by up to $5,000 and/or six months in jail.
"H.R.3283 is an outrage and an insult to the American public that owns these lands and has paid taxes to maintain them through two worlds wars and the Great Depression," commented Robert Funkhouser, president of the No-Fee Coalition. " Allowing the land management agencies to appropriate their own funds without congressional oversight puts an unfair burden on the American taxpayer. It is a double tax."
