Amar'e:Had Bulging Disk For a Year
CLEVELAND — Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire, in his most extensive interview in weeks at Friday morning's shootaround at Quicken Loans Arena, confirmed his bulging disk has been around since he suffered a back injury in the playoff series against the Celtics last April.
Stoudemire said the bulging disk was discovered then but was not considered a big issue. Nevertheless, it became more noticeable after an MRI exam in late summer, and the setback in his rehab forced him to enter training camp not in proper condition.
"It wasn't as herniated [last April],'' Stoudemire said. "I don't think they saw it until later on that summer. That's why I came to training camp not really ready to go. It took a while to get to here I was 100 percent and in top shape and had explosiveness back.''
Marc Berman goes on to say:
This issue won't go away, and eventually he will need surgery. Stoudemire blames the lockout on not getting proper rehab for his disk when he was unable to use the Knicks medical staff that treated him last April. From July 1 on, he was on his own. But Stoudemire said the epidural took the pain away in two days.
Well this explains a lot. All season everyone has been wondering what was wrong with Amar'e, and everyone suspected the back was more of an issue than he was letting on.
Whenever asked about it before, Amar'e would respond with "I feel great" or "I feel better than ever" even though it wasn't showing on the court.
Obviously, with 3 years and $65 million remaining on his contract this is a concern. Back injuries have slowly ruined many NBA players careers, and with Amar'e it is that much more important as his explosiveness to the rim is what made him a superstar.
As Tommy has talked about before, Amar'e is going to have to hit that mid-range jumper to have success with Carmelo Anthony. Melo needs to be getting into the low post while Amar'e is in the high post shooting the face up jumper. If Amar'e can't hit that jumper, spacing will be difficult.
The Knicks will need to address depth at the 4-5 positions this offseason as it is difficult to predict when a bad back will flare up during the season. Also if Amar'e does indeed need offseason back surgery, there is no guarantee he would be ready to start the season.

While many Carbon County residents are packing away Halloween decor and thinking about Thanksgiving turkey, Helper residents are already planning for Christmas. That's because events involved in the annual Helper Christmas Town Festival are scheduled to begin the middle of this month and will continue through Dec. 2.
The main event that highlights the month long festival is the Electric Light Parade. This year, the City of Helper will host their 17th Christmas parade on Dec. 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. each night. The tradition is one that citizens from across the state look forward to each year.
With the parade only a month away, Christmas Town committee officials are beginning to round up entries. According to festival committee member Vicky Miller, now is the time to start constructing floats.
"Anyone can enter the parade. The only rule is that the theme centers around Christmas and that there are lights on the entry," explained Miller. "Entry forms are available at Helper City Hall."
Few rules apply when it comes to float entries. The committee does require that participants be with their float by 5:45 p.m. each night of the parade and owners must stay with the floats during the line up.
Festival committee members also ask that no live Santas be on a float. This allows the real Santa to greet the kids at the end of the parade each night.
Miller explained that parade entries range from elaborate floats to bicycles with a few strings of lights draped across the handlebars. As long as lights and Christmas are included in the scheme, pretty much anything goes.
Each year, students at Helper Junior High participate in the light parade by helping in the process of preparing a float for the parade and with many of them riding on it. Students draw their own plans of what they want the float to look like. They then come up with a budget and a time frame for construction. After this process is complete, this year's student body representatives meet with the sponsor and present them with the schools plans.
By getting the kids involved in the entire design and construction process, the experience becomes more fun and it is educational at the same time.
Now is the time to begin plans for the Christmas Town festival events. Advanced planning can lead to a successful parade this year as well as added support for the City of Helper.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) — Following a full review of the permanent change of station orders process, Air Force Personnel Center officials have implemented a new policy that will allow members more time to schedule move-related appointments, said Dave Faris, the AFPC PCS budget/assignment analysis section deputy chief.
Defense funding rules require that permanent change of station obligations be charged against the fiscal year in which the orders are published. To ensure the Air Force met that expectation, orders previously were published no later than 60 days before departure from the current station and no earlier than 90 days before the member's reporting date.
"After a review of numerous requests for exception to policy and requests from transportation authorities for more time to process household goods pickups, we analyzed the process and made some changes,†Faris said.
In part, those changes are possible because of AFPC's role in processing and authenticating orders.
"The Total Force Service Center has assumed orders authentication responsibilities, and the centralized process is faster and more efficient,†Faris explained. "Now, orders can be prepared 120 days before the member's scheduled departure date.â€
For members scheduled for lengthy training or leave en route to their new duty station, that change is expected to make all the difference, Faris said.
This should significantly reduce policy exception requests for early PCS orders. According to Faris, the policy change will help eliminate challenges, but if it does not meet a member's needs, he or she can still request an exception to policy.

The Perfect Power Amp for Smaller Rooms
Thanks to Parasound, anybody can afford to get onboard its New Classic series of amplifiers. With an advanced and extremely efficient low-heat design, this superb new product line of power amps runs cooler than previous Parasound Classic series models, making these amps ideal for rack or cabinet mounting. The newly designed power supplies deliver all the voltage you need for transient peaks in musical programs and stunning special effects.
The Model 275 is the perfect amplifier for smaller rooms with its 75-watt-per-channel output at 8 ohms and 125 watts at 4 ohms. It will also deliver 200 watts into 8 ohms or 4 ohms in bridged mono mode. And it boasts 30 amps of peak current per channel for superior resolution of demanding musical peaks. The sound quality is pure Parasound pleasure, of course. Looking for lots of capability in a slim silhouette chassis? The Model 275 is half the size of its predecessor HCA-750A.
Fully Discrete Circuitry
Fully discrete circuitry with a large toroidal transformer keeps the noise floor exceptionally low and the musical signal pure. The 'Class AB' circuitry provides efficient operation with less heat output than pure 'Class A' for the highest degree of reliability with DC servo and relay protection circuitry. Standby, channel status, and high temperature indicators keep you informed of the operation status.
Ideal for Custom Installations
The New Classic amplifiers have several features that make them ideal for custom installation. These include automatic switch on and off when the amplifier detects the presence or absence of an audio signal. It can also switch on and off via its DC trigger with looping output. The soft touch power buttons glow in standby mode.
The Model 275 can drive and select two speaker pairs (or two mono bridged speakers) with two pairs of speaker terminals and speaker select buttons with relay switching.
Other features include handy rear-panel gain controls, a ground lift switch for helping eliminate system-induced hum problems, gold-plated RCA input jacks and loop output jacks, and heavy-duty 24K gold-plated five-way speaker terminals.

|Best 75w 2 channel amp you can buy for the money
Just bought two of these to run 3 sets of speakers - one amp is driving a pair of KEF Q series floor speakers , and the other amp is driving two pairs of in ceiling speakers that are part of a whole house system. Work great. The amp drives the KEFs with ease which are only rated at 89 db sens. Using both the A and B speaker outs on one amp to drive two sets of smaller speakers also works great. Very versitle amps - you can configure them in a number of ways. Highly recommended if you are looking for power in this range.

|great amp for the money...smooth, clear and compact

CANTON - A distinguished teaching professor at SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx has emerged as a candidate to be the third leader of SUNY Canton appointed since President Joseph L. Kennedy retired in September.
Joseph C. Hoffman has worked at SUNY Maritime at Fort Schuyler, Throggs Neck, since 1977, serving as a mathematics and computer science professor during that time period and named a distinguished teaching professor in 2001.
He also served as the colleges provost and vice president for academic affairs from August 2006 to May 2012.
I can confirm he is a candidate, but no final decision has been reached, said David D. Doyle, SUNY Central spokesman. Its a process. Hes a candidate in the process.
Mr. Doyle said Mr. Hoffmann has met with the SUNY Canton College Council.
Council President Ronald M. ONeill said Mr. Hoffmann was interviewed during an April 16 video conference that was attended by council members, several SUNY Canton administrators and officials from SUNY Central.
If he is presented to the Board of Trustees I will feel good about it, Mr. ONeill said. He came across very well. He was forthright and seemed honest with his opinions. I personally had a feeling with his responses.
Mr. ONeill said the College Council has not met or had a video conference with any other candidate and that he hopes the SUNY Board of Trustees makes the interim president appointment at its May meeting so that when students leave campus for the summer the issue is resolved.
We need to restor continuity. I think thats very important, he said.
He is a 1975 graduate of SUNY Maritime College He earned a masters degree in mathematics from Adelphi University in 1977, and received his doctorate in education from LaSalle University in 1998. He was granted the distinguished teaching professor title by the SUNY Board of Trustees in 2001.
Mr. Hoffman has held a number of positions during a more than 35-year career at SUNY Maritime, including provost and vice president of academic affairs from 2006 to 2012.
He served as a lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserves from May 1975 to August 1992.
If selected for SUNY Cantons top position, he would replace SUNY Canton interim president, Carli S. Schiffner, who is leaving July 31 for a job at a college in Washington. SUNY Central had earlier announced the hiring of former SUNY Canton provost, Jeremy D. Brown, as acting president to replace Ms. Schiffner. Mr. Brown, however, took a job in Oregon after being named to the SUNY Canton post in April.

Menu music is a very important thing—it's the first thing we hear when we boot up the game, and it sets the tone for the game experience to come. It gets us in the mood, if you will. I can think of many examples of fantastic menu music (many of which I'll highlight here in the weeks to come!), but one of my favorites has got to be the menu music from 2010's Pac-Man Championship Edition DX.
God, I loved this game. It was easily one of my favorite games of 2010, and I still play it regularly. It's a crazy mixture of pinpoint reflex gameplay, psychedelic colors, and rave music that tied in with the games ever-accellerating pace to create wildly enjoyable musical crescendos.
The way this game moves, the endless forward push, the friction of the bullet-time turns, the frankly orgasmic satisfaction of slamming through a huge line of purple ghosts…. there are few games like it. Yikes, I need a cigarette!
This menu music just kills me. It's so funky that I would just leave it on for a while every time I played, bobbing my head and flipping through the menus.
The game itself has some fantastic music too, as evidenced by the clip to your left.
Here, you can watch a guy bust out a damned-impressive score attack run on the first level, which also features some of my favorite music.
I actually wrote a thing way back when about how this game is like jazz, drawing a parallel to Bill Evans' liner notes from Miles Davis' seminal album Kind of Blue. In the liner notes, Evans talks about the Japanese visual art suibokuga, in which artists are required to draw single lines on thin parchment, maintaining a constant momentum in order to keep their brushes from punching through.
And yes, Pac-Man CEDX does feel like Evans' description of suibokuga, and in that way, it feels like jazz.
But it also feels like, well, doing it. So, think of its awesome menu music as foreplay. If this tune doesn't get you in the mood for some hard cornering and serious ghost-munching, I don't know what will.

Report: Fraction of renewable energy could be doubled
January 24, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
The fraction of renewable energy in the global energy mix could be increased to 30% or more by 2030, double the level today, the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena; Abu Dhabi) says in a report, "REmap 2030: A renewable energy roadmap." This figure is the result of an analysis of 26 countries, which between them account for 75% of world energy consumption. Doubling the fraction of renewable energy would not lead to additional costs, considered from an overall economic perspective, Irena says. The economic case for renewable energy is...

Accountability is central to ideas and practices of effective governance but, in the face of at times quite fundamental challenges and changes, traditional modes of governance and accountability are being re-evaluated, and in important ways re-invented. This unit explores these developments in a critical and analytic manner. It locates management within its context of political, legal, fiscal and ethical accountability to diverse stakeholders. A key aim is for students to develop a critical understanding of the complex and at times competing array of accountabilities at play today, at the same time exploring ways of responding effectively, imaginatively and ethically to these demands.

For some reason, I've always known that I would have two girls. That is why I've kept all of Princess P's baby essentials, toys and clothing over the years. So, when we found out that baby #2 was in fact a girl, I knew we were pretty set on baby things, but I still wanted to get a few items for just her. And one place that I knew I wanted something from – Zutano!
Nestled in the green hills of Vermont, Zutano creates infant and toddler clothing lines that are full of color, whimsical designs and fun. From the very beginning, Zutano was inspired by a baby and ever since they have designed clothes that reflect the unique character of baby. At Zutano, you will find everything from clothing to accessories and plush toys to bedding and home.
Several years ago, I had the opportunity to work with Zutano and I was super excited for the chance to be able to work with them again. For baby girl, Zutano sent us the Love You Short Sleeve Newborn Onesie, Pink Candy Stripe Newborn Leggings and the Love You Newborn Hat to review.
When the items from Zutano arrived, I literally couldn't believe how small and cute they were! (You seriously forget how tiny newborns can be!) The Love You Short Sleeve Newborn Onesie features fun hearts and clouds and a playful Eiffel Tower with "Paris" beside it. What is unique about this onesie, aside from the fun print, is the fact that it is specially designed to lay flat underneath baby and wrap her up in it for easy dressing. The coordinating Pink Candy Stripe Newborn Leggings match the onesie perfect and will keep baby's tiny legs warm. For her little head, the Love You Newborn Hat features an overlapping hearts pattern that is as sweet as she is.
Buy It: You can purchase the Love You Short Sleeve Newborn Onesie ($20), Pink Candy Stripe Newborn Legging (not currently available) and Love You Newborn Hat ($10.50) can be purchased at www.zutano.com

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate community editor
People like to play with semantics a lot. I believe many people think they are English barristers who debate the meaning of life through words, and then think they have changed the world.
I ran into one of those people one day in a small coffee shop in Salt Lake. He and I struck up a conversation that began with the weather (where else to start with a stranger) and ended up with me walking out thinking how lucky I am. Although in the middle of the conversation I thought that someone had killed me and I had gone to hell but just didn't know it.
The crux of the discussion came down to the words republic and democracy. Somehow we got into this debate about what those terms meant to us as Americans. I think it was a discussion about how the government should be set up and what kind of representation we should have that led to it. I some how mentioned the word republic and that set him off on a course of discussion, the path of which I didn't want to go down, but was dragged along anyway. After that I was trying find every way possible to get out of Dodge City.
I have often complained that Americans are not precise enough with the words they use, not that I am any good at it either. However, this guy had the whole thing down to crafted art. He told me that we didn't live in a republic, but in a democracy. I told him I thought the words were interchangeable, and that is when his flight to the moon really began.
He lectured me on all the different meanings of republic and democracy. He began talking about democratic republics and how the issue of political decisions made by some of the people for all of the people just wasn't right. He also went on about that he thought a true democracy is not only political, but also rests on economic factors and that if the country divided its wealth more equally, we would truly live a free society.
It was then that I realized I was seated at the counter with a coffee shop socialist. Now in my life I have politically slanted that way at times myself, more often in my younger years when I had absolutely nothing material assigned to my name. Of course, as I have grown older I realized how silly that notion is, since I am now one of the haves instead of the have nots. It's interesting how years of hard work doing things you often don't like to do to build a life and raising kids on limited amounts of money while they sit around the house (where your wealth is shared with everyone else) playing video games makes you less likely to join groups like the Socialists for Dividing All My Money Up.
I told him that in a true democracy citizens would vote on everything from going to war to who would be the next part time hire in the Department of the Interior. I pointed out that if all the power to make all decisions for the country were in the peoples hands all the time, we wouldn't get anything else done, like importing coffee and running a small business so he could sit in this shop and complain. He of course took exception to that.
I also pointed out that the United States was formed as a Republic, which meant that it was not headed by a monarch, something our founding fathers loathed, or at least did after they realized how much money they owed the king of England, and that we were represented in that government by those elected from a widely based group of citizenry.
At that point I was bailed out of the merry-go-round kind of conversation I had gotten myself into by another guy sitting at the end of the counter.
"I'm glad you brought that up with this commie pinko," he said sneering at what had been up to that point my conversational sparing partner. "That's always been my argument for being a Republican. We live in a republic so we should vote Republican and get rid of all the leftist liberals that run this country."
I stared at him and my mouth open so wide that Joe McCarthy could have hid in there. Now I was talking to Mr. Complex and Mr. Simple at the same time. At that point the man at the end of the counters colorful cold war terms for my discussion partner started a conversation that can't and shouldn't be repeated in this column.
As I listened I really did want to interject that when Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic party it was called the Democratic Republican party but the two of them were so happily beating each over the head with 1950's rhetoric that I was able to pay my bill and sneak out the door before I could be pinned against the wall and asked to take sides. For all I know they are still sitting there after 10,000 cups of coffee, arguing.
For me I left that day thinking I was lucky to live in a country where such a discussion could go on without being arrested or shot. I also went down the week after and made sure I was registered to vote in the next election, because someone has to offset guys that have brains that work like that.
And I hope that when all of you go to the polls next week, you too will reflect on the idiots you have known, and vote appropriately.

WEST CARTHAGE During a special meeting of the Champion Town Council last Monday, a public hearing was set for 7:15 p.m. Jan. 6 concerning the proposal to extend Sewer District 2.
The board reviewed a plat report prepared by Bernier, Carr & Associates, Watertown. Kris D. Dimmick of Bernier, Carr suggested the board prioritize the $2.5 million project based on available funding.
The sewer district expansion is needed to take in the Britton property on Farney Pit Road, and Caskinettes Lofink requested to be put in, Town Supervisor Terry L. Buckley said. We needed to do it to get everything that wanted to be in it. No sense running pipe and not including everything. We intend to include the replacement of the transmission line.
Mr. Dimmick had told the board the expansion should be the priority and the transmission line was still serviceable.

You might have noticed that the official Twitter app received an update for unlocked iphone 4. The new update will not add any huge features as was seen in previous versions of the app, but it does look as if the quick bar tht was added will be a bit helpful. The "quick bar" was added to give you the currently trending topics based on your location with just the click of the button. Some users reported that shortly after they updated their app that they were having trouble re-opening the app. These problems seemed to be a bit isolated and were not experienced across the entire user base.
Now the version 3.3.1 is live for the first time. Most of the main upgrades that were included in the update fixed some of the more common crashing issues that have been reported with the app. Also included in the app update were a number of security fixes. These were accompanied by some improved performance updates that should make the app much more usable and phones that do not have the heavy hardware that the top notch phones do.
The total upgrade is a little bit more than six megabytes in the app store. some of the older versions of the app were also phased out with the update, but those versions were quite early so if you have updated any time recently then you have nothing to worry about.
Users that had trouble with the update have already taken to the iphone 4 unlocked and other iOS devices and have found some fixes for the update issues. Many users choose to use a third party Twitter application instead of the main one so that might keep some from noticing the same issues.

Three Watertown financial advisers from the Couch Group have left Morgan Stanley Smith Barney this week to launch a Watertown branch for UBS Wealth Management. The branch will be located on the second floor of the former Agricultural Insurance Co. building at 215 Washington St., a short walk from the Morgan Stanley office on the first floor.
Gregory G. Couch, William C. Couch Jr. and Eric DeLaGarza served at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney for a combined 38 years as partners for the Couch Group, according to a still-active Morgan Stanley website. Daniel R. Long, branch manager of UBS Wealth Management in Syracuse, also will serve as branch manager at the new Watertown office.
As a firm, UBS is very excited to expand our wealth-management platform in the north country, Mr. Long said. Were happy to do that with a group of veteran financial advisers like the Couch Group. Were always looking to add high-quality advisers whenever we have the opportunity.
Gregory Couch could not be reached Friday for comment.

NEWPORT CITY – In an effort to save the so-called Red Barn on Coventry Street from destruction, the city council decided Monday evening to give local resident Frank Knoll, of Northern Views LLC, more time to find another use and location for the structure.
The city owns the barn and has offered to let Knoll take it, if he can move it.
Newport City can't do anything with the barn because of it's location in the city's wellhead protection area and the city has no use for it.

Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Humanby Richard Wrangham
Staff Pick
Richard Wrangham's lucid, fascinating book presents a strong case that the act of harnessing the power of fire to cook food might have created modern humanity. Convincing, thoughtful, and beautifully written, Catching Fire is a surprising look at the evolution of our species.
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
Ever since Darwin and The Descent of Man, the existence of humans has been attributed to our intelligence and adaptability. But in Catching Fire, renowned primatologist Richard Wrangham presents a startling alternative: our evolutionary success is the result of cooking.
In a groundbreaking theory of our origins, Wrangham shows that the shift from raw to cooked foods was the key factor in human evolution. When our ancestors adapted to using fire, humanity began. Once our hominid ancestors began cooking their food, the human digestive tract shrank and the brain grew. Time once spent chewing tough raw food could be sued instead to hunt and to tend camp. Cooking became the basis for pair bonding and marriage, created the household, and even led to a sexual division of labor.
Tracing the contemporary implications of our ancestors' diets, Catching Fire sheds new light on how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. A pathbreaking new theory of human evolution, Catching Fire will provoke controversy and fascinate anyone interested in our ancient origins — or in our modern eating habits.
"Contrary to the dogmas of raw-foods enthusiasts, cooked cuisine was central to the biological and social evolution of humanity, argues this fascinating study. Harvard biological anthropologist Wrangham (Demonic Males) dates the breakthrough in human evolution to a moment 1.8 million years ago, when, he conjectures, our forebears tamed fire and began cooking. Starting with Homo erectus — who should perhaps be renamed Homo gastronomicus — these innovations drove anatomical and physiological changes that make us "adapted to eating cooked food" the way "cows are adapted to eating grass." By making food more digestible and easier to extract energy from, Wrangham reasons, cooking enabled hominids' jaws, teeth and guts to shrink, freeing up calories to fuel their expanding brains. It also gave rise to pair bonding and table manners, and liberated mankind from the drudgery of chewing (while chaining womankind to the stove). Wrangham's lucid, accessible treatise ranges across nutritional science, paleontology and studies of ape behavior and hunter-gatherer societies; the result is a tour de force of natural history and a profound analysis of cooking's role in daily life. More than that, Wrangham offers a provocative take on evolution — suggesting that, rather than humans creating civilized technology, civilized technology created us. (June)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
"Catching Fire is a plain-spoken and thoroughly gripping scientific essay that presents nothing less than a new theory of human evolution...one that Darwin (among others) simply missed." New York Times
"Wrangham has a curious mind, in all the best senses....
"Experts will debate Wrangham's thesis, but most readerswill be convinced by this lucid, simulating foray into popular anthropology." Kirkus Reviews
In Catching Fire, renowned primatologist Richard Wrangham argues that our evolutionary success is the result of cooking. Once our hominid ancestors began cooking, the human digestive tract shrank and the brain grew; and pair bonding, marriage, the household, and even the sexual division of labor emerged. A pathbreaking theory of human evolution, Catching Fire will fascinate anyone interested in our ancient origins — or our modern eating habits.

POTSDAM The school district will take ownership of the former Building Blocks Day Care building, located on its campus behind A.A. Kingston Middle School, on May 12.
Superintendent Patrick H. Brady told the board of education this week that the day-care center is expected to be out of the building before that date, and its his understanding, based on conversations with Building Blocks Director Marlene L. M. Pickering, that theyre planning to move to a building on Route 56.
The plan is they will be out of the building before that time in May, he said. Were in the process of preparing for the transition.
The transition includes receiving a lien release from the village, which would grant the district full control and ownership of the building without any liabilities.
Mr. Brady also said a tour of the building is being planned to check out its condition and determine what renovations need to be made to convert it into classroom space for use either by the district or the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services. Mr. Brady said BOCES has expressed an interest in leasing the building from the district.
Originally when we were discussing the project scope, we had included the day care building renovations, but given that it is not yet a school building, it was not included in the adopted project scope, he said.
Mr. Brady said the district is now looking at alternative projects that could be completed should the bids received come in under the projects anticipated $18 million price tag, something that is likely to happen.
We are now looking at alternatives and have had some discussion about including the day care as one of the alternatives, he said. If the main scope comes in under bid, we would look at these other areas.
Other potential projects being discussed are security and safety enhancements throughout the district, including improved outdoor lighting, increased card access for exterior doors, enhanced safety hardware for interior doors and possibly security cameras.
Building Blocks Day Care has operated in the building since it was built in 1993. Construction was paid for using grant money from Housing and Urban Development, as well as other monies administered through the Potsdam Planning and Development Office.

Comments about Outdoor Research Revel Jacket (Men's):
A very well designed jacket which has become a favorite quickly. I wear this as a shell over an Marmot 800 pill down coat. They work well together offering great wind and rain protection with superior warmth.
The only small problem is the sleeve length is too long for me, I had to roll up the sleeves which means I lose the velcro closing feature.

PAWTUCKET—A city man faced a judge on Monday after police allege he attacked the mother of his children over the weekend and then fled with the children to Providence.
The young mother is recovering and her 32-year-old boyfriend, Barrolle Z. Shar of 442 Mineral Spring Ave. is in the ACI.
Shar was arrested by Rhode Island State Police on Saturday and arraigned before a bail commissioner.
He appeared in 6th District Court in Providence on Monday, where he was charged with domestic strangulation, assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping/domestic.
Shar was ordered held without bail at the ACI pending a Nov. 4 hearing. He was also ordered to have no contact with his girlfriend or their two children.
According to Maj. Arthur Martins, about 8 a.m. on Saturday, police officers were dispatched to 442 Mineral Spring Ave. for a report of domestic violence. When officers arrived, they found the 24-year-old victim, who stated that she had been attacked and choked by Shar, with whom she lives. She said that Shar had taken their two children, ages 3 and 2, and driven off.
The victim, who Martins declined to identify, also told police that Shar is extremely violent and that she feared for the safety of the children.
Pawtucket Police detectives had contacted Rhode Island State Police about putting out an Amber Alert to seek the public's help in locating Shar's vehicle, a white Jeep. However, Martins said that just before the Amber Alert was issued, detectives learned of an address in Providence where Shar might have gone, and state police located his vehicle near this location. He was arrested by state police and the children were found unharmed.
The woman was treated at the hospital and released.

Civil Air Patrol cadet and Emery High student DJ Horrocks, 16, makes sure his seatbelt is securely fastened before heading up for a glider flight Saturday morning.
Members of the CAPl got to take in a different view of Carbon County as they ascended high into air during familiarization flights held at the Carbon County Airport. Cadets from both Carbon and Emery counties took turns stepping into the cockpit of an ASK21 glider aircraft as part of their work with the Civil Air Patrol.
To start the flight, the cadets crossed off a checklist each requirement before takeoff was completed. Finally, they are taken into the sky by a Cessna aircraft serving as a tow before being released for a flight high above Castle Country.

A recent police-funded counter-terrorism campaign within the United Kingdom has resulted in the appearance of large billboards encouraging members of the public to inform on their neighbours, based on the 'suspicious' contents of their dustbin (=trashcan).
As with similar previous campaigns, the appeal to fear made by such billboards has been heavily ridiculed by online commentators as both overly simplistic and having disturbing Orwellian overtones.
By generating a moral panic over out-groups, and so encouraging the view that differences between people should be regarded with suspicion, the campaign is widely regarded as clumsily undermining relationships between the different ethnic and cultural groups making up British society.
The public backlash is such that billboards have been both physically subvertised, as well as virtually parodied. You now even have the opportunity to create your own.

This weekend, one young woman from Aroostook County will become the 72nd Maine Potato Queen at the Fort Fairfield Potato Blossom Festival. The pageant has been held almost every year in the Northern Maine town since 1935. Hopeful contestants have been rehearsing their talent routines and practicing their interview skills in the run up to Saturday night's big event.
The music is country. The costumes are red white and blue. And the contestants for Maine Potato Queen 2013 are rehearsing their opening number, and parading in shorts, tanks tops, and sneakers down a plywood runway.
[Rehearsal Emcee] "Contestant number seven, Abigail Leanne Stewart, Miss Easton..."
One of these young women will spend the next year traveling to agricultural conferences throughout New England and helping to market the Maine potato to the rest of the world. It's a time-honored tradition that is still taken seriously.
Fifty years ago this weekend, 1963, Carmen Towle was crowned in her hometown of Fort Fairfield at the Potato Blossom Festival. She's kept a scrapbook of photos and mementos from her year, including the rules that all Queens were to follow.
In her day, Fort Fairfield was the top potato producing town in the entire country.
Things have changed a lot since then," Towle said. "We had a lot of small farmers- family farms where kids grew up on farms. Everybody pitched in. They took three weeks off from the school in the fall so kids could harvest potatoes.
Today, she said much of the industry she once represented is made up of large-scale corporate operations, as many of the families she knew have gotten out of the business.
And the pageant has changed right along with the industry. In Towle's pre-feminist era, there was a bathing suit contest. Women were expected to wear hats and gloves, and conduct themselves in a distinctly "lady-like" manner. Fifty years later, the girls don't have to wear swim suits, and a strong emphasis on traditional beauty has been jettisoned in favor of something the industry considers more important, said pageant director Kathy Maynard.
"First and foremost, they have to be a spokesperson," said Maynard. "They're going to be put in those kinds of sittuations where they're actually going to have to carry on conversations with people who may agree or disagree that they like Maine potatoes."
But, such pageants have also come under fire from critics who draw unflattering comparisons with stock shows and worry that competing for such titles objectifies women and enforces rigid stereotypes of the "ideal" American female.
"I think that crops have kind of always been associated with the female," said Kirsten Bell Albair, Maine Potato Queen 1968. "it has to do with fertility. I think if you look at mythology etc, Demeter was the goddess of the harvest."
And for every harvest in the country, there's a queen, from Rockland's Sea Goddess to Hawaii's Miss Pineapple. As an 18 year old Maine Potato Queen, Albair said she didn't think much about deeper messages then; She entered the pageant to have fun, help out the local industry, and earn enough scholarship money to pay for a semester at the University of Maine. It wasn't until she surprised herself by going all the way to the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, a year marked by bra burnings and protests outside the venue, that she realized that pageants could have a darker side, especially for contestants in the Deep South, where pageant culture is far more competitive.
"The devastation that girls felt and showed when they didn't make the top ten or whatever. I mean really," Albair said. "Girls would (say) 'I can never go back to my state' and I went, really?"
While other contestants had thousands of dollars worth of support from their state governments, Albair's gown was donated to her by a department store in Portland; her mother made the rest of her wardrobe. That cheerful do the best-you-can-attitude, she said, is what makes an agriculture pageant different. And Miss Potato 1963, Carmen Towle, agrees. As the newest crop of hopefuls prepare to take the stage this weekend to vie for the crown, Towle is back now fifty years after her win, to judge the finalists.
Jennifer Mitchell: "When you look at this photo here and all this, what do you think? What do you feel when you look at this a think back on that night?"
Carmen Towle: "Smile lines have appeared on my face that weren't there then. But it's a typical 18 year old girl that is heading into the world. I see these young ladies as basically the same people that we were at that time, thinking the sky's the limit."
