The Driducks rainwear is sized at least one, perhaps two sizes too large. I typically wear a size medium shirt, size large jacket, and the size small Driducks fits me like a large. I've tested the Driducks jacket and pants in a number of rain storms and so far they've proven to be both quite waterproof and breathable. For $15 a pop, don't expect the quality you'd get with a rain jacket by Arc'teryx, however; but perhaps some people will find them worth the money.I really wanted to like these. They are insanely light, waterproof/breathable raingear. The major downsides are: no bill over the face (just wear a cap), and the zipper is non-waterproof, it just has a simple flap of material over it (something I can live with). My size small jacket (slightly modified, see below) weighs 4.9oz and the pants weigh just 3.6oz. The microporous material is the real deal. A bit delicate like all ultralight materials (don't even think about bushwacking in these), but fully waterproof and very breathable. The body seams are all glued, which conveniently renders them seam-sealed. The hems and the zipper are all stitched, which creates weak spots in the non-woven fabric, and points of entry for moisture, but except for the zipper, these are not crucial.Trouble is, the actual construction of the jacket and pants is of average to poor quality. To start, the company that makes them doesn't double back their stitching. Add onto that the fact that the stock zipper sticks to itself, and the zipper was coming unstitched at both ends before I even tried the jacket on for the first time! I bought two pairs of rainsuits at the time I got these and both of them had this same problem. Like I pointed out, the body seams are glued, not stitched, so they are conveniently waterproof. Unfortunately, the fabric edges in the body seams are not always lined up correctly before they are glued, resulting in weak spots where one piece of fabric was not fully included in the seam. At the bottom of the crotch in my pants is one such hole, a definite weak spot where I could expect to blow them out if I crouched down in them the wrong way. This explains many of the reports I've read from unsatisfied Driducks users saying that the crotches of their pants blew out unexpectedly after only a few weeks/days/hours of normal use.I did a couple of things to fix these problems. Since I own a sewing machine, and since I also had a smooth #3 separating coil zipper from Thru-hiker.com laying around, I said to myself, no big deal I'll just replace the zipper. So I removed the faulty zipper (easily done as the stitching was so loose on the factory zipper) and sewed in my own. When I finished, the zipper operated like I felt it ought to. I also replaced the thick shoelace-sized drawcord and bulky cord locks on the hood with a short length of spectra 1 and some mini cord locks I also had laying around. For the faulty seam of the pants, I used a touch of super glue, which has shown good results so far, although I don't think it's as strong as it ought to be.Even though I feel that the rain suit is now fully waterproof--or waterproof enough--given all the modifications I had to do, I simply don't trust it on long distance hikes in spring, fall or winter, or any hike where it is imperative to stay dry. The thin, non-woven material is delicate, but I'm more concerned about the seams. Thus, until I can prove to myself that the pants and jacket won't simply fall apart with minor use, they are relegated to short hikes, and summer raingear.I have reservations about recommending this item. On the one hand, if you're willing to do a little work correcting the shoddy construction (if you get a lemon, and given my experience you probably will), they are very inexpensive, very light and they are fully waterproof (apart from the zipper). On the other hand, both the sets I bought had the same problems. I dunno, maybe if you buy two sets at once you might get a non-lemon. I didn't. Although, for someone with an eye for detail and a MYOG attitude, they are more or less fixable problems. After all, the rain jacket and rain pants costs about $15 for the set and weigh almost half as much as a full rain suit in Gore-tex Paclite. So I'd give them 5/5 for summer raingear or dry climate raingear, and 3/5 for long distance hiking raingear.
Rating: 5 / 5
This suit exceeded my expectations. I backpack every summer in the Rockies. On a 10 day trip, I typically need rain gear for 8 hours or less. In the past, I've always used expensive, heavy Gore-Tex; it sits in the bottom of my pack 80% of the time. Tried DriDucks this year and was very impressed. It's incredibly light, very inexpensive, it breathes well, and is waterproof. Pretty good wind block. Not very durable, but you can repair it with duct tape on the trail, and for the price, it could be considered disposable. I would not use it in a wet climate, but for the summer Rockies, it's perfect. Would also be good to keep in your boat for occasional showers. As noted, it runs large. I'm 6'1", 160 lbs and the medium was good.
Tested: - size: small - jacket weight: 5.5 oz - pants weight: 4.4 ozPro: - price - weight - functionalityCon: - fragile - zipperHaving used Driducks for 2 years in the back country on fishing and grouse hunting trips in the Gore and Wind River ranges I am very impressed with what you get for the price.Their biggest draw back is they are on the fragile side. They are NOT designed for bush whacking so you need to treat them with care.That said, my jacket has survived 21 days of grouse hunting in the woods as wind, rain, and snow gear. Not sure how many fishing trips and day hikes it has been on.The jacket currently has 8 small duct tape patches (about 1/2" each) on the inside to fix punctures and a couple of small rips. Not too bad considering where I have taken it in the woods.I have only used the pants twice. Once during a huge down pour to test how water proof the suit was (passed with flying colors). And on a 3 hour day hike in the rain, again no problems.The other downside is the zipper which I have trouble starting. My solution is to never fully unzip it when I put it on or take it off.Would I buy again? Yes. My experiences have been so positive I purchased an spare suit just in case they aren't available when my first suit wears out.

I picked up one of these suits excited to have some lightweight gear that was actually cheap. I got it home, and tried it on to be sure it fit. Then I repacked it and put it in my pack and went out to the trail. I got to the trail head in rain. Pulled out the DriDucks suit, put it on, and...uh oh. the zipper completely failed. It would not hold together at all. I would zip it up and it would just completely come apart again immediately, no pressure required. Luckily I had a bungee in the truck and was able to use that as a belt to hold the top pulled together.So yes, it's lightweight, but if it fails from the get go, it's just extra weight that's along for the ride. I completed the trip, and threw it in the trashcan at the trailhead.
(The bulge in my jacket is the pants. This turned out to be a convenient way to carry them around when adding/removing layers frequently)I bought a DriDucks TrailPak suit (specifically designed for lightweight backpackers, according to the Frogg Togg website...) and went hiking along the Central Oregon Coast this month with them for a couple of days.The rain was mild for the Oregon Coast this time of year, so I didn't have a chance to evaluate this suit in a downpour.But I did a lot of hiking right on the shore, hopping from rock to rock in gusty conditions (15 to 30 mph gusts and salt spray). I was impressed by the ability of the material to break a cold breeze.I was also impressed by the comfort level of the fabric: it wasn't noisy or distracting while hiking. It was surprisingly quiet in these gusty conditions.This material was unbelievably breathable. We were doing some strenuous hiking and I was shedding and donning layers frequently, but never found myself getting damp underneath the DriDucks. Amazing. Normally I would have been drenched in sweat in traditional rain gear.Although I knew to expect them to be somewhat fragile, I got impatient at one point while donning the pants and didn't loosen the zips at the bottom while putting them over my shoes. I ended up with a small rip on the inside of the ankle cuff. No biggie. Just a reminder to be careful with these.For the price, you can't go wrong with a TrailPak suit. I'm very satisfied, even given the durability concerns.

After hearing great thing about DriDucks jackets I decided to get a pack. I took members' sizing advice and purchased a size small (I'm 5'9, 35/35 arms, 40-41 inch chest) and it fit perfectly.The problem is how lightweight the material is. Out of the package it had tears from where the material had been in contact with the zipper. Bundle it up to fit in a clothing stuff sack? More tears. Not a lasting piece of gear by any means, and while some may be willing to shell out an extra $20 every couple of trips I am not. Jackets are where the UL community seems to be falling short, and this disposable piece of gear is the perfect example.

I have had two sets of this type of rain suit. Drop-stoppers and now Dri-Ducks. That says something; the first set wore out. Pants split at the crotch. The jacket started looking worn out and I got wet using it once, but I wasn't sure if it was sweat inside or rain that had come through. I do not take this rainsuit on winter hikes or when I feel I might need a good, well designed, water proof/breathable shell hiking or climbing above the tree line for wind or rain or both. On the other hand, In summer, and when the forecast is reasonable, I definitely carry this rain suit and it has provided adequate rain and wind protection in a pinch. It is not durable, but I find it breathable and waterproof (at least when new and cared for properly). I sat on a log and poked a hole in my pants on a week long trip once, but a little duct tape cured the problem. Light and inexpensive, water proof and breathable. Average or less on design, and not durable. But if it lasts me a couple of years of intermittent use I still consider it a value.
I recently purchased a set after reading about them here at BPL. I then used them in snow/rain mix for two days. The crotch ripped out just as others have mentioned, however this was after a some very intense bushwacking in the Olympics while climbing over logs in heavy brush. Even so, I remained dry. Duck tape works fine for repairs. The last night of my trip I just tossed the pants into the fire however I have continued to use the jacket for yard work and running equipment.I have already purchased another set. For $19 total to my mailbox there is not a better deal. They breath, easy to repair in the field, keep me dry, and are cheap.

By C.J. MCMANUS Sun Advocate reporter
It is a long road, but at least it's a smooth one so far in the effort to merge the fire and ambulance services of East Carbon and Sunnyside cities.
East county officials took yet another step toward the creation of a special service district for emergency services Tuesday evening as Sunnyside council members voted unanimously on the boundaries and name of the proposed district.
The resolution, which was drafted by Sunnyside attorney Craig M. Bunnell, defines that the service district will provide ambulance and fire protection for the cities of Sunnyside and East Carbon as well on county land from U.S. Hwy. 6 along State Road 123 east to the border of Emery County.
"We discussed the boundaries during our last chief's meeting," said Sunnyside Fire Chief Gene Madrid. "We think the area we have outlined will both serve the citizens of our cities as well as those living in the unincorporated county near our area."
While the boundaries of the district should be agreed upon easily by partner officials in East Carbon, the second item outlined in the resolution may be a little more tenuous. During Tuesday's session, Sunnyside officials also voted to name the organization the Sunnyside/East Carbon Special Service District.
By voting on the resolution Tuesday evening, Sunnyside officials were hoping to have the issue before the county commission during their meeting this week. However, because the East Carbon council does not meet until next week, consideration of Sunnyside's plans may have to wait.
According to East Carbon officials, they would like to have their city attorney review the new resolution, which defines the district, before they take any action. And while city leaders are carefully considering all aspects of the project, they also report being completely behind the new district.
"We still have quite a bit left to do," said East Carbon council member David Maggio. He said the city will have to adopt its own resolutions and hold public hearings on the matter.
"I can't see anything getting in the way of this. Either we team up and fund a viable ambulance and fire service or we turn it over to the county and then when we have a fire, we can call dispatch to put out what's left when they finally get there," quipped Maggio. "The populations of these towns are dwindling and with Sunnyside in limbo over their tax base, we need this."
It will be up to the county to set the special tax levy and formalize the district boundaries, which may include some areas outside the cities' limits. However, the merger appears to have the full support of the commission. "This is an awesome opportunity you guys have to move forward," commented Commissioner John Jones when council members Maggio of East Carbon and Shari Madrid of Sunnyside presented the proposal to the commission last month.

2012 DRAFT PROFILE – Filip Forsberg, F, Leksands IF (SWE)
Each week until the entry draft in June, Point Blank will be reporting on the top prospects in this summer's NHL Entry Draft. This week's profile is forward Filip Forsberg, whom TSN's Craig Button pegged for the Islanders in his mock draft. You can keep a watch on our profiles via the "2012 Draft" tab at the top of the page and check out profiles of Islanders' young guns filed under the "NYI Prospects" tab.
As the National Hockey League said farewell to another Swedish import – Nicklas Lidstrom – after 20 glorious seasons patrolling the blue line in Motown, the proverbial torch – draped in blue and yellow – has already been passed to a collection of Swedes, both young and old, who have and will continue to stamp their mark amongst the world's elite.
Thirty-year-old Henrik Lundqvist has conquered Broadway and is the odds-on favorite to win the Vezina Trophy. Erik Karlsson, 22, has capitalized on his fame in Ottawa and is a finalist for the Norris Trophy. While twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin, 31, have built the Vancouver Canucks into a Western Conference power – year-in and year-out – for the past 11 seasons.
Nevertheless, the league has grown leaps and bounds since the Quebec Nordiques selected Bromma-born forward Mats Sundin first overall in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft.
Last season, Colorado Avalanche draftee Gabriel Landeskog – selected second overall to Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – was one of six Swedish born players picked in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft.
Now, less than four days before a new crop of teenage hopefuls – from all across the world – embark on their hockey dreams, it is a 17-year-old power forward that has the Steel City buzzing. Born in Ostervala, Sweden, Filip Forsberg has gone from a precocious man of mystery to one whose confidence wowed all 30 NHL organizations at the recent NHL Scouting Combine in Toronto.
"I think I am a great offensive hockey player," said Forsberg, less than a month before he would win over a bevy of player personnel departments in Toronto. "I am pretty big and have got a good shot.
"I can also make plays for my teammates. That is my biggest strength in hockey."
In his final draft rankings – posted on June 11 on TSN.CA – Craig Button has pegged the 6-foot-2, 190-pound Forsberg as his seventh best prospect in Friday's NHL Draft in Pittsburgh. Yet, both the International Scouting Services and The Hockey News ranked Forsberg as its second best prospect – one spot below consensus top overall selectee Nail Yakupov of Sarnia (OHL). On Monday evening, TSN finalized its own draft rankings, naming Forsberg as its third best prospect. He placed behind both Yakupov and Everett (WHL) defenseman Ryan Murray.
Yet, undeterred by daily draft chatter, Forsberg has allowed his friends to be his eyes and ears of the NHL draft world.
"I have tried not to read that much," said Forsberg, whose offensive skill-set has drawn comparisons to Anaheim's Corey Perry. "But my friends are reading it, so they have told me the most of what's on each draft list.
"I don't want it to affect my play, because I try to play my own type of game."
Precise shooting accuracy, physical prowess and an effortless skater are terms synonymous with Forsberg's all-around make-up on the ice. Still, it wasn't too long ago that the self-proclaimed video-game addict was unsure if playing professional hockey would actually be his calling.
"I was four years old the first time I was wearing skates," recalled Forsberg. "I didn't like it right at the first try because before I skated I was playing with the stick. I told my mom that she should take my skates off, so I could continue to play with the stick."
Following in his father Patrik's footsteps – a professional hockey player in his own right in both Sweden and Norway – Forsberg would jump back on the horse just two years later.
"I started playing hockey when I was six years old on a team in Norway, when my dad was playing there," said Forsberg, who will turn 18 on August 13. "I really liked it right away.
"It was more than I expected."
Less than six months later, after Forsberg's father ended his 16-year professional career, the family settled in Leksand, Sweden. With a population of 5,861 (as of June 2012), Leksand is best known as the producer of traditional Swedish Crisp Bread. Still, the quaint community allowed the young Forsberg to hone his hockey skills.
"Leksand is a very small town, so except for hockey, there isn't so many other sports to play," said Forsberg. "I played soccer and a little baseball too, but hockey was always my favorite, so I decided quite early that it was my first choice."
Forsberg would play regularly and continue to rise through the Leksand junior hockey program over the next few years, eventually splitting time with both the Leksand Under-16 program and the Under-18 program during the 2008-09 season.
He registered 17 points – 13 goals and four assists – in eight games for the Under-16 team, and would ultimately get the call up just a few months short of his 15th birthday. He wasn't intimidated playing against guys two-to-three years older, as he recorded 21 points – 12 goals and nine assists – in 15 games.
Over his next two seasons, Forsberg raised the level of his play a few more notches, ultimately playing – as a 16-year-old – in the Leksand J20 SuperElit league. He led his team in scoring with 40 points – 21 goals and 19 assists – in 36 games.
That same season – 2010-11 – Forsberg was invited to play for Team Sweden in the 2011 Under-18 championships in Germany. Collecting six points – four goals and two assists – in six games, Forsberg helped the Swedes reach the Gold Medal game, but it would eventually drop a 4-3 overtime decision to the United States.
Forsberg, who would finish his 2010-11 league season by playing 10 games with Leksands IF – Leksand's top professional team – in the Allsvenskan league, would return to IF for a full campaign this past season. In 43 games, he registered 17 points – eight goals and nine assists.
Earning a regular shift – as a 17-year-old – against players over twice his age would force Forsberg to hit the weight room as part of his off-ice training. Still, building too much muscle wasn't his primary goal.
"If I keep working hard off the ice, I will definitely be stronger," said Forsberg, who grew up idolizing fellow Swede and former Colorado Avalanche standout Peter Forsberg (no relation). "But I don't want to put a lot of extra kilos right now.
"I want to keep my speed, while I get stronger."
Internationally, Forsberg would compete in both the 2012 Under-20 World Junior Championships in Calgary, as well as the 2012 Under-18 World Junior Championships in the Czech Republic.
In Calgary, Forsberg would sit by and watch both Murray (Team Canada) and Yakupov (Team Russia) compete against one another in a tightly-contested semifinal tilt, eventually won by Russia, 6-5. The Russian victory set up a Gold Medal showdown with Forsberg and the Swedes, who bested Finland, 3-2 in their semifinal match-up.
Competing in front of a pro-Sweden crowd at the Saddledome, Forsberg's teammate Mika Zibanejad – a 2011 first round selection by Ottawa – would break a scoreless tie by scoring an overtime winner on a partial break-away.
Playing in his first WJC Under-20 tournament, Forsberg would collect an assist in the team's six tournament games.
In the Czech Republic, Forsberg would lead the Swedes with seven points – five goals and two assists – in six games, but for a second consecutive season the team got bounced by the United States in the Gold Medal game, 7-0.
Even now, as all the dust has settled on Forsberg's four-year playing career – which has seen the now 17-year old play on 10 different teams throughout Sweden and the World's stage – it has come the time for the cerebral Swede to make the ultimate decision on his future– National Hockey League or Swedish Elite League.
"Both the NHL and the SEL are very good leagues," said Forsberg. "But the NHL is the best league in the world, so hopefully I will play there one day.
"Still, the SEL is a good step to take for me. Hopefully, my team – Leksands IF – can make the promotion to the SEL this year."
With glaring needs on the blue line, if Forsberg is somehow sitting on the board when the Islanders are on the clock at the fourth pick, could the organization really pass on his skill-set?
Forsberg would relish at the chance to call Long Island home.
"The Islanders are a team with a lot of good young players," said Forsberg. "The last years have been pretty tough for them, but these great young players are getting better and better.
"I think the Islanders have something good going on. It would be fun to be drafted by the Islanders, because they have a great history with a lot of Stanley Cups back in the days. And as I said, the Islanders seem to be on their way back to the top."
The 2012 NHL Entry Draft is just three days away.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Pete Subkoviak was born in Madison, Wisconsin to two loving, religious parents. He entered the world physically female, but never identified as anything other than male. From the age of three, Pete insisted that he was a boy. At the time few had any knowledge of gender identity and thus mental health professionals encouraged Pete to change his identity; by the age of ten he had become deeply depressed and suicidal. After several years Pete, with the support of family and friends, finally began to physically transition, gained a second chance at life, and went after it with passion. During college, Pete became a de facto public speaker, teaching medical and education professionals about the transgender community. He also interned for Senator Russ Feingold. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin ‐ Madison, Pete pursued a career dedicated to the public good, working on state and federal HIV policy for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. There he led the Illinois Alliance for Sounds AIDS Policy, a grassroots coalition of AIDS advocates, sat on the leadership of the Citywide LGBT Coalition to progress LGBT rights in Chicago, and started his own opinion editorial blog on the Huffington Post. Pete has also partnered with a local charity to create an innovative transgender employment program, which they plan to implement over the next year. If successful, it would be the first dual housing and employment program for this community. Pete's academic trajectory is toward a Masters of Public Health degree with a concentration in policy and leadership at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.

I chose this item for the message. So many holiday cards begin with "May the holidays..." or "May you..." This has a more unique greeting that imparts a sincere wish for a Merry Christmas.

Have you ever wanted to explore the symmetries of the cube and octahedron through an old Japanese art form? Or to investigate fractals using tatting and string art? Or to study the helix by knitting bed socks? If so, or if you are at least open to the idea, then this book would be a good place to start.
Dana Mackenzie's book is a display of modern mathematical developments, which have brought about the solutions of several old and important questions in number theory, topology and the theory of dynamical systems. More recent areas, related to finance and computer science, have also witnessed a lot of attention-grabbing events — some good and some bad. For those with a mathematical background this book makes a fascinating read.
This is a fascinating book on the application of game theory to situations in philosophy, politics, law, history, literature and even the Bible. The author shows that real insight can be obtained into optimal strategies for dealing with some famous dilemmas.
Clearly and interestingly written, humorous and varied, requiring only a minimal familiarity with math, The hidden mathematics of sport is a pure pleasure to read. It contains an impressive array of mathematical topics, much broader and more unusual than standard findings about the statistics of sports or the equations governing the motion of projectiles.
It's quite refreshing to find a book on maths that is so upbeat and infectious as How to build a brain. Certainly the title is a misnomer; one would immediately associate it to artificial intelligence or biology, but in reality this book is about how mathematics finds its way into many aspects of our world.
In 2006 the Fields Medal — one of the highest honours in mathematics — was awarded to Grigory Perelman for solving the Poincaré conjecture, a famously difficult problem that had stumped mathematicians for a century. To the surprise of many, and the excitement of the media, Perelman declined the award and withdrew not only from mathematics but from the world generally. In Perfect rigour Masha Gessen sheds some light on this brilliant and perplexing character and the reasons why he would renounce both the worldly rewards of his mathematical achievement and also his beloved vocation, mathematics itself.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- The Saint Louis Zoo is celebrating the arrival of a baby monkey. The black and white colobus monkey was born at the Primate House on June 30.
The infant is the sibling of Mosi, the first colobus to be born at the Zoo in 11 years. Mosi is now 13 months old.
Zoo officials say they will have to wait to name the newborn until they can determine the monkey's gender.
While adult colobus monkeys are primarily black with white har around their face and half of their tail, infants are born with all white hair and a pink face.
The 24-year-old mother Roberta came to the Saint Louis Zoo in 2010 from the Binder Park Zoo in Michigan. Roberta was easily integrated with the Zoo's 13-year-old female Cecelia, and both the new baby's and Mosi's father, six-year-old Kima.
The family of five is now on exhibit. Visitors can see the infant poking its head out to look at its new world.
"It was believed that Roberta, who is an experienced mother, was likely post-reproductive when she arrived here," says Ingrid Porton, curator of primates at Saint Louis Zoo. "Happily she proved this to be quite incorrect."
Colobus monkeys are found throughout the forests of central Africa. The birth is part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Colobus Species Survival Plan (SSP), a program to manage a genetically healthy population of black and white colobus monkeys in North American zoos.
"Roberta is an attentive and protective mother. Mosi is very curious about the new infant and mom allows him to sniff the infant, but when he tries to touch, she has pushed him away," says Porton. "We are looking forward to the time when his sibling will be old enough to be Mosi's play partner."

Budapest Nightlife
Corvinteto is one of the newer clubs in Budapest. It is built on top of an old department store building. It is a very nice spot to hang out in the city with the one and only open air rooftop underground club in Budapest! They have the panorama, comfortable sofas, dancing until dawn, sunrise in the middle of the city, on top of the once state owned department store.
Old Man's music pub
The Old Man's Pub is the centre of the Hungarian pop music life with the most popular blues, soul and funky bands playing every night starting from 21 PM. The pub resembles the legendary marquee club in London, where The Beatles started their career. They usually start off with concerts whereas from 11pm the party starts off on the dance floor with a DJ providing the music.
Morrison's Opera Music Pub
Situated only a few yards to the west of the Opera House, Morrison's is a long-popular cellar venue distinguishing itself from others by their karaoke evenings.
The Morrison's Opera Music Pub is easily recognisable by the signature red telephone booth, it is as a matter of fact a typical phone booth originating from London.
Morrison's 2 Music Pub
This is the little brother of the Morrison's Opera Music Pub, yet it is bigger too.
Morrison's 2 is suitable for the larger party venues and like the Opera located in a cellar.
The No.2 attracts a younger crowd and has four dance floors, half a dozen bars and an enormous games room upstairs. The club even has an excellent courtyard.
Zöld Pardon
Zöld Pardon is located directly next to the Petöfi bridge and is very popular to the public during the summer period. This is for the multitude of live concerts of Hungarian bands that play their music in the evening. It is spacious and aside from the several bars they offer plenty of space to party. The music style ranges from Hip Hop on the one dance floor, to Pop music on the other, where the more commercial music is being played. The Hungarians refer to Zöld Pardon as 'ZP'.

|YMCA looks for community support
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 10 July 2007 20:00
YMCA wants to start construction of its indoor pool in Avery County- and is looking for local communities to support the effort.
Executive director Kim McLaughlin has been appearing before town councils as well as the Avery County Commission, requesting communities' help.
She says YMCA's services benefit the community as a whole- and it's important for individual towns to show their support.
The campaign has over $1 million left to earn- but McLaughlin is hopeful, due in part to the positive responses she has gotten at council meetings.
Pledges need to be in by September 1, she says, in order to begin the next phase of construction.
The YMCA, located on the campus of Cannon Memorial Hospital in Linville, has already opened some of its services to the public- including a walking track. For more information or to make a donation, call 828-737-5500 or visit the YMCA website at YMCAavery.org.

40 Years Ago: The Alice Cooper Band Release Their Final Album
Alice Cooper had been around since the late '60s, making a name for themselves by keeping away from the era's conventions. Their attack was comprised of gritty rock 'n' roll dressed up vaudeville style, spat back at their expanding audiences. Even though their namesake frontman was the centerpiece of the band, Alice Cooper were a band.
By 1973, Alice Cooper had become a household name, Hollywood punch line and a general topic of conversation. Hits like 'Eighteen,' 'School's Out' and 'Elected' had put them there. But the cracks were starting to show. The records leading up to 'Muscle of Love' were unbeatable: 'Love It to Death,' 'Killer,' 'School's Out,' 'Billion Dollar Babies.' Then came 'Muscle of Love,' which struggled to keep one step ahead.
It all kicks off with the fairly pedestrian stomp of 'Big Apple Dreamin,' which strips away the band's trademark sound, favoring instead a pseudo-funk riff. In theory, it's great that the group would want to mix things up a bit, but once Cooper begins to sing, it doesn't even sound like the classic band.
Still, things get back on track with the very next cut, 'Never Been Sold,' a riff-heavy hard-rock tune rooted in their familiar style. The addition of horns and a throat-grabbing guitar solo lead the charge. It's followed by one of the band's most underrated songs, the dreamlike 'Hard Hearted Alice,' and 'Crazy Little Child,' which steps into something close to Dixieland jazz.
'Muscle of Love' continues along this path, with songs like the gritty rocker 'Working Up a Sweat' and the title track, the album's most Alice-like cut. There's also 'The Man With the Golden Gun,' written for the James Bond movie but rejected in favor of Lulu's song. Meanwhile, 'Teenage Lament '74' coasts into soul territory, and the album-closing 'Woman Machine' is another funk-based rocker that ends the LP on a rather underwhelming note.
Little surprise that the band hit a detour not long after the album's release in November 1973. Within a year, the Alice Cooper group would break up, and the singer kept the name for himself, embarking on a solo career that would get him back on the charts and into concert arenas. Most of the rest of the band formed Billion Dollar Babies, who released one album, 'Battle Axe,' before calling it quits. A famous review of 'Muscle of Love' from back in the day asked, "Has success spoiled Alice Cooper?" In retrospect, all signs point to yes.

A new breakthrough transplant procedure developed at Massachusetts General Hospital confirms that the problem of organ rejection after transplantation can be mitigated without using immunosuppressive drugs, sparing transplant recipients a lifetime of side effects.
Eight years ago, Jennifer Searl used a handicapped permit to get around campus at the University of New Hampshire. Last October, Searl, 26, ran a half-marathon and felt so good afterward she immediately signed up for another. In between these two extremes lies not only a journey of a thousand steps, but one taken along a path Searl herself blazed - with help from the Massachusetts General Hospital Transplant Center.
The 10th anniversary celebration of transplant tolerance induction brought together patients with their MGH physicians, nurses and other staff members involved in the program.

There are no reviews for this so i thought i would write one;
This bridge is absolutely amazing. The intonation screws are so easy to tweak without any force. this bridge diffidently improved the sound of the guitar ( i play with a 7 string). Don't be hesitant to buy this if you need another bridge, well worth the money.

Postoperative Ibuprofen and the Risk of Bleeding After Tonsillectomy With or Without Adenoidectomy
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Tonsillectomy (the surgical removal of the tonsils) is a commonly performed surgery in children. One risk of tonsillectomy is postoperative bleeding, and this can be more dangerous in children because their blood volume is lower than adults. Ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID), is an effective pain medication. Recent guidelines, published by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, advocated use of ibuprofen after tonsillectomy. However, NSAIDs are associated with altered platelet function and a theoretical increased risk of bleeding after surgery. The investigators would like to explore the effect that ibuprofen has on postoperative bleeding, as well as validate previous studies demonstrating it is an effective pain medication after tonsillectomy.
Drug: Ibuprofen

Irina Lakicevic leads a double life. By day, the gorgeous Norwegian's a dentist, but when she isn't tending to her patients' odontic needs, she inspires as the style blogger behind A Portable Package--and a truly celebrated one at that. Though Lakicevic's minimalist looks are often pared down to just a handful of pieces, her affinity for sculpted shapes and tactile mixes makes for one compelling outfit after another. There's a tough side to her style too; her love of leather, as well as accents like chain-strap bags and studded shoes, hints at Lakicevic's undercover rock 'n' roll attitude. Continue reading to get details on this style star's best outfits, plus check out our exclusive Q&A with her.Outfit IDs

Q&A with Irina Lakicevic
Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
Rock chic yet minimalistic urban warrior who loves oversized knits and everything leather.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
I live in Norway, so the weather influences my choice of clothing. Bad weather has inspired me to mix different materials and go for a textural mix. I love textures! Also pumps and boots are dominating my wardrobe rather than sandals, which bugs me big time.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
I am completely into this blue wave that's on everything from jewelry to shoes. It's such a vivid color, yet so versatile and easily combined for a powerful impact. Also, everything leather-on-leather is down my lane. There is something so dangerously appealing about the trend. I always feel like a superhero when wearing bold leather pieces, especially layered. I love the Eastern/samurai trend seen at Proenza Schouler and Sportmax. I am always in the mood for beautiful, luxurious brocades, gold detailing, and intricate cuts. Also quilted silk tops from Sportmax would go perfectly with boyfriend jeans. I hate not having a Sportmax retailer nearby. I could buy the whole collection.
Who are some of your style icons and why?
I try not to idolize anyone, but if I could raid one person's wardrobe it would be Taylor Tomasi Hill or Carine Roitfeld's. Both of them have this innate sense of style that will never become irrelevant as fashion changes throughout the seasons. I admire that and I respect innovative timelessness.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
My fiance's leather jacket. I wear it more than he does (he doesn't find this fact as amusing as I do). I layer it with coats or another jacket, or with jeans. I mean, it's a black motorcycle leather jacket; one can wear it with everything! It's oversized and the cut is amazing. It really gives a touch of French nonchalance to whatever you're wearing, even if it is a ball gown.
What are some of your favorite places to shop?
eBay, Net-a-Porter, and MyTheresa. Also, Vincci (they only have a Facebook page currently) and LOT333 in Bergen, where I live, has a sublime selection of everyday and high-end designers and garments.--Tiffany Tse

|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
The proposed trial is intended to test the effectiveness of a proven, manual driven, five-session safer sexual skills building group (SSB) intervention (Schilling et al., 1991; El Bassel and Schilling, 1992) for female patients in MMTP or in drug-free outpatient treatment. The effects of SSB will be compared to a standard group HIV education session (HE).
This study uses a 2-group, randomized, parallel-group design to compare a five-session safer sexual skills building group to a single 60-min HIV education session (control condition). The control condition is designed to standardize and simulate the usual care at community clinics.

Norman Parke
TRAINING: Two times a day, training boxing, wrestling, judo, strength work. I rest when I feel my body needs it.
When and why did you start training for fighting? I started martial arts when I was 16. I did judo for four years and got to a good level, started training MMA at 20 years old and never looked back. In my early teens I was leading a life of destruction and heading nowhere and finding martial arts gave me a direction in life.
What ranks and titles have you held? TUF Smashes lightweight winner, ranked in the top 10 in the UK and I held the Cage Contender European lightweight title.
Do you have any heroes? Not really. When I was young I always watched Superman, so I guess you could say him. (Laughs)
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means everything. This is what everyone strives for…to be in the UFC. I've worked really hard over the past few years and dedicated myself to this, so it's a dream come true!
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I left school early as I planned to join the Marines. Things didn't work out, but I guess things happen for a reason.
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked every job you could think of. I've worked on building sites, restaurants, security work and farms!
Specific accomplishments in amateur competition? Irish judo champion, Irish wrestling champion
Specific accomplishments in pro competition? Getting to the final of The Ultimate Fighter.
Ranks in any martial arts styles: Black belt in judo.
Favorite grappling technique: Any form of choke
Favorite striking technique: straight left, right uppercut, straight left.

Health care premiums rose an estimated 7.3 times faster than earnings for Utah's working families from 2000 to 2006.
According to a report recently issued by consumer organization Families USA, health care premiums jumped by 71.8 percent while median earnings climbed by only 9.9 percent during the six-year period in question.
The Families USA report is the first of its kind to document the changes on a state-specific basis.
The key findings in the consumer organization's report include:
For family health coverage provided through the workplace in Utah, annual health insurance premiums in the 2000-2006 period jumped from $6,305 to $10,832 .
The jump represents an increase of $4,527 or 71.8 percent.
Between 2000 and 2006, the median earnings of Utah's workers increased from $21,497 to $23,620 or 9.9 percent.
The report indicated that the disproportionately high increases in insurance premiums occurred despite the provision of "thinner coverage" to workers.
Thinner coverage provides fewer benefits and/or comes with higher consumer deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance.
As a result, families in Carbon County and across Utah are paying more but receiving less in health care coverage, pointed out the consumer health organization.
The Families USA report concludes that the confluence of higher health costs and stagnant wages is causing a growing number of Utah families to join the ranks of the uninsured and under-insured.
The number of non-elderly uninsured people in Utah is more than 376,000 - approximately 16.6 percent of the non-elderly population.
"Utah families have been hit hard in the pocketbooks due to skyrocketing health costs and stagnant wages," noted Ron Pollack, director of Families USA.
"As a result, Utahns are paying much larger portions of their paychecks on health care - and health care is becoming less and less affordable," added the consumer organization's ddirector.
The key findings in the report provide data concerning premiums for family health coverage as well as individual coverage.
The findings also break out the premium costs paid by employers and those paid by employees.
The key findings of the report include:
For family coverage in Utah, the employer's portion of annual premiums in the 2000-2006 period rose from $4,861 to $7,810, an increase of 60.7 percent.
For family coverage, the worker's portion rose from $1,444 to $3,022, an increase of 109.3 percent.
For individual coverage, the employer's portion of annual premiums rose from $2,003 to $2,926, an increase of 46.1 percent.
For individual coverage, the worker's portion rose from $582 to $741, an increase of 27.3 percent.
Rapidly rising health care costs are causing increasing numbers of people to go into debt, indicated the consumer organization. The report cites a study that found that more than one-half of bankruptcies are now due, at least in part, to problems with medical costs.
"If this troubling trend continues, the health care affordability crisis will get much worse and many more Utahns will become uninsured and under-insured," said Pollack. "If earnings continue to lag behind fast-rising health care costs, Utahns will face diminishing economic and health security. It is high time for national leaders to address this growing problem and make it a top national priority."
The Families USA report is based on data provided by the United States Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Labor as well as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
