« Accelerating Innovation with Neuroceuticals |
| Neurocompetitive Advantage »
Posted by Zack Lynch
Athletes provide a valuable preview of how far humans will go to succeed. Examples abound of professional athletes exploiting cutting edge technology to excel beyond their competition. One new device professional athletes are currently adopting in force is The Glove. The Glove significantly improves physical endurance by accelerating the dissipation of heat from an athlete. This allows them to rapidly cool their overheated bodies to a temperature where the bodys physiology runs most efficiently. Invented just a few years ago, The Glove is now regularly used throughout the National Football League to help exhausted running backs regain their stamina between plays. Is this enablement or enhancement?

Don't know but I'd find it odd if the IOC didn't get itself in a twist over this one. If there were a pill or a shot that accomplished the same thing the press would be calling it "the new steroids" in the headlines. One more example of antipharmaceutical cultural bias.

text: A few weeks ago I bought a new Magna Mountain Bike for my son. Now the bike has started to squeak really loudly. If you just sit down on the seat it squeaks. I can just push down my hands on his seat and the squeaking sound keeps coming. It also squeaks while he's riding standing up. I am not sure where the problem is. I think it may be in the springs! Please help!!

Trick or Trot Halloween Fun Run for the Special Olympics
By Jeff Slovin, Contributing Writer
Marlborough – The annual Trick or Trot Halloween Fun Run to benefit the athletes of Special Olympics Massachusetts was held Oct. 19 at the Yawkey Sports Training Center. Events included a Kid's Dash, a 5K run, and a walking course, and participants were encouraged to dress in costume. According to Section Director Jon Scully, nearly 200 people participated in this year's event, along with 50 volunteers. Approximately $19,000 was raised. Karen Gregorczyk of Paxton was the overall winner of the 5K race, and Paul Peraino was the first male finisher.

OSCEOLA At 20 minutes to noon, Todd W. Lederhouse, Rochester, surveyed the snowmobile lineup and knew there were not enough sleds to break the world record.
I think people wait until the end to do it because they dont want to stand here. Thats what Ive heard the most excuses were, Mr. Lederhouse said.
He was one of 524 snowmobilers to turn out for the Osceola Snowmobile Associations attempt to break the world record for largest parade of snowmobiles. After the attempt, the record remains at 820, set in 2004 in Roseau, Minn.
I cant believe all the turnout, event organizer Douglas Nichols said to the anxiously awaiting crowd. Next year lets go for 821 sleds!
There was some question of why the event had such a low turnout. Mr. Nichols said the word had been spread as far south as Florida. Articles had been featured all over the news, including in the Wall Street Journal.
We had a lot going on this weekend, too, he said.
The attempt was arranged as a fundraising effort for the snowmobile club, which Mr. Nichols said starts each winter with a $13,000 deficit.
A lot of people take for granted the work from clubs, he said. The money its unbelievable what it takes a volunteer club to do for grooming and maintenance.
He had hoped the event would bring 1,000 snowmobilers and about $10,000. Instead, he said, the event likely brought in about $5,000.
One stipulation to which the club had to adhere, according to Guinness World Records, was a single-file ride through a fenced-in area. The anticipated 2.8-mile ride would start out at and return to Cedar Pines Restaurant and Campground, 1132 Comins Road. Upon learning it was short about 300 riders, Mr. Nichols announced that snowmobilers could branch off on their own. Some riders left the lineup, but most remained.
I was glad to see the majority stuck around, club President Paul Valcore said. We appreciate any help and positive feedback.
Participants are welcome to leave comments at the clubs Facebook page under Osceola Snowmobile Association Inc.
The turnout may have been smaller than anticipated, but for Osceola resident Cheryl A. Davis, it was nonetheless a big event.
I think its kind of cool just to try this in Osceola, and I think if we dont get it today, we can try it again another time, said Ms. Davis, who volunteered as a steward at the event.
She was supposed to be in charge of checking in 50 snowmobiles in her line; however, at last count, she had only 24 riders.
Mr. Nichols said a second attempt is not outside the realm of possibility, but club members would have to evaluate the first attempt.
Our local sponsors did great for us, Mr. Nichols said. Its just been great working with everyone; everyones been so supportive.
Organizers gave out about $2,000 in donated goods.

Rock/Creek Thunder Rock 100 Mile Trail Race
The Thunder Rock 100 is a point-to-point, 100-mile trail race run entirely within the confines of the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee. This is a challenging 100-miler, featuring over 16,000 feet of climbing and some incredibly scenic terrain.
Race Details
Starting at the Ocoee Whitewater Center, the course winds its way northward from the Ocoee River, across the Hiwassee and throughout the northern reaches of the Cherokee's Ocoee District before returning to finish at Parksville Lake. Along the way, runners can expect to see beautiful sections of the John Muir Trail, run past Coker Falls and Bullet Creek Falls, traverse Starr Mountain and Oswald Dome... plus an exciting ford of the Hiwassee River itself.
The noon start ensures that runners will traverse the most technical portions of the course during daylight hours, allows for all racers to start fresh after a good night's sleep, and means even the fastest participants will share the experience of running all night and watching the sun rise on the trail.

The Lambda ZAP-CMV vector for efficient library construction and mammalian expression
Quinn Lu Tanya Hosfield Cherie Dewar Tim Sanchez
Mike Kobrin
Stratagenes new lambda cloning vector, the Lambda ZAP -CMV vector,* contains the left and right arms of the Lambda ZAP II vector and the pCMV-Script -EX phagemid vector. High-efficiency cDNA libraries constructed in the Lambda ZAP-CMV vector can be converted to plasmid libraries by a simple in vivo excision procedure. This vector preserves the benefits of lambda library construction, while providing the convenience of plasmids for expression in mammalian cells and characterization of cloned inserts.
Stratagenes family of Lambda ZAP vectors is designed to simplify the construction of high-titer cDNA libraries and the characterization of inserted DNA. These vectors are distinguished by their capability to easily excise and recircularize cloned insert DNA from lambda phage. When either single clones or the entire lambda library is converted to a plasmid format by in vivo excision,1-5 they combine the high-efficiency cloning of lambda vectors with the convenience of plasmid libraries for functional studies. This elegant procedure requires very little hands-on time and eliminates the need for subcloning procedures.
Figure 1
Stratagenes new lambda vector, the Lambda ZAP-CMV vector, offers

expression in the pCMV-Script-EX phagemid vector. The Lambda ZAP-CMV vector

Hello, my name is Stephanie Kim and I am a 26 year old Korean-American girl that was born in New York. I pretty much grew up in the east coast (mostly Connecticut). Honestly, I cannot say that I know exactly what my passion is in this world… yet. I don't even know what exactly I will be doing with this blog either. I am but an average girl with lots of positivity and an open mind. Hopefully this blog will help me discover things about myself that I never knew, strengthen my weaknesses (one of which, ironically, would be writing) and that I bring interest and happiness to my readers.
Currently, I live in Los Angeles, California with my boyfriend, Andy. I just moved to the Hollywood area in September. The past 2 months consisted of settling down, furnishing our apartment, and housebreaking a puppy!!! My boyfriend and I decided to get a toy maltese after a month of moving into LA. It has been alot of work trying to train Luna (my puppy) to potty where she's supposed to, control her biting/barking, AND teaching her tricks! She has TRULY brought so much joy into our lives and we are so glad that she is a part of our family. I never knew how much a dog could really improve the quality of life. It's insane, too; I don't have any children but Luna definitely seems like she is my daughter.
Here are a couple of pictures of my little girl:
Isn't she adorbs? hahaha well I hope you all are enjoying the first day of December!

Todd Halverson, 37, Monte Vista girls water polo coach and aquatics coordinator for Clarke Memorial Swim Center at Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek, allegedly embezzled tens of thousands of dollars paid by pool visitors by tampering with a computerized swim pass registration system, according to reports.
Jeff Tarpley, 48, Walnut Creek aquatic supervisor since 1988, has also been charged with embezzlement, accused of stealing around $150,000, said deputy district attorney Steven Bolen for Contra Costa County. Both Halverson and Tarpley were arraigned and booked Wednesday, Oct. 10. Their court date for a hearing to see if there is enough evidence to go to trail will be held Thursday, Nov. 29, at Walnut Creek Superior Court. The cases are being held separately.
Bolen said he would not comment on any of the cases' details.
City employees contacted the police when they saw financial irregularities involving Halverson and Tarpley, reports said.
Halverson, a resident of San Ramon, has been placed on administrative leave until further notice, said Terry Koehne, spokesman for the San Ramon Valley Unified School District.
"It's a precautionary step that the district takes when an (employee) has been accused of a serious crime," Koehne said.
Halverson has been coaching at Monte Vista since 1997 and did not return phone calls to the Danville Weekly as of press time.

Over 600 civilians evacuated from Homs: Syrian official
Over 600 civilians were evacuated from the Syrian city of Homs Sunday, a senior official said.
A total of 611 civilians were evacuated from the rebel-held old city of Homs, as part of a recently concluded deal between the UN and the Syrian government, Xinhua quoted Talal Barazi, the governor of Homs, as saying.
Most of the evacuees were women, children, and old men, who would receive proper care and medical treatment, he said, adding the evacuation process could continue for the next three days.
About 2,500 people are believed to be trapped in the rebel-held old city, part of which has been under siege by government troops since June 2012.

Old Lady Movie Night: "The Notebook"
First things first: I know Nora Ephron (a wonderful woman who should mean a lot to all of us) passed away this week. I really wanted to cover a movie in tribute to her, but here are the cold, hard, terrible facts:
1) I already wrote about You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally
2) I own Julie & Julia, but have enough of us seen it?
3) I don't own Sleepless In Seattle (WORST) and it isn't on Canadian Netflix (also the worst)
Also, and more importantly, there is nothing I could possibly write that would do justice to Nora Ephron, SO why don't we all just agree to work our way through her filmography independently and then gather back here next week to deal with our emotions when they've settled down a bit. Kapeesh? (Said like Heather Mooney in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.) Kapeesh.
But maybe you still need to cry. Maybe we ALL need to cry! I shouldn't deprive you of that, so let's all watch The Notebook together because from what I know about The Notebook, everyone is REALLY REALLY emotionally affected by this movie. I will tell you know that I was not. BUT this also means that we can laugh together! YAY LAUGHTER! Remember that? What a treat! So let's laugh our way through The Notebook because you guys, there is a lot in here that we can both laugh and to cry at.
1. Well let's all appreciate right now that if Noah – no matter how cute – talked to me the way he does to Allie, there would be a problem
Okay, so we are all, "OOH NOAH LOVES ALLIE SO MUCH!" but WOAH. Stop the presses. Remember when she's with her friends and he stands RIGHT in front of her – like, gets totally in her face – and is like, "Wanna dance with me?" No. NOPE! No thank you. Because that is a creepy psycho move. And then the friend's all, "That's Noah, though." Oh! Well that's a relief! Noah will just not respect my personal space then! So he's THAT GUY! (Potentially a major, major harasser.)
2. No, but not a potential harasser – an actual one (also, terrifying?)
I'm not going to lie to you, guys. If you told me some guy had asked you out by THREATENING HIS OWN LIFE, I would be like "Okay, I think it's time for you to read about a little thing I like to call emotional abuse." And then I would remind you that he was kind of already stalking you and then I would make you watch every movie about obsessive boyfriends in the world. Starting with Enough, I think? Maybe even Sleeping With The Enemy? I don't know.
Slow it down, bucko: Allie did not "promise and swear" anything. Particularly not a date. And then Noah's all, "Well when I see something that I like, I gotta have it." WHAT. That is not the way the world works, Noah – I mean, maybe with life dreams, but not with people. Hooooow did we make our way through this movie in the theatres without saying to each other, "Friends – this gentleman frightens me." He's cute! Yes! But now he's dancing in the street? We need to talk about Kevin, but by "Kevin" I mean "Noah" I am pretty sure.
4. And these friends! WHY
Here's a really fun fact, friends and lovers and strangers that may have gotten here after Googling "Ryan Gosling boxers Notebook" (hi!): those friends are the worst! Girl code calls for Allie's friend having her back. Example: Allie is obviously creeped out by this guy, who got into her personal space and threatened his own life. So what should her friend do? NOT invite Noah on a date? Wait, I mean TRICK HER INTO GOING ON A DATE WITH HIM. What is this?! Why. Who are these people. Is this Stockholm Syndrome? Is this how it starts? Wait, something's happening, maybe we're about to find this out.
5. "I always thought you were free"
SLOW IT DOWN, NOAH. We are (checks Netflix) 15 minutes into The Notebook, and technically Noah and Allie are having their first official conversation. It's great! Good for them. But she's telling him about her life, and instead of having respect for her, he says, "I thought you were free." WHAT? WHY? Because she studies? And because her parents are strict? Maybe she will be freer with a little thing I like to call "her education." MAYBE she is free, I don't know. But I also don't like his tone: "You need to learn how to trust." She doesn't NEED to do anything! Maybe she is wise not to jump right into the middle of the street with this guy who she just met and who was basically stalking her because he's obsessive. Maybe that's not trust, maybe that's . . . instinct. Friends, I feel like we've been here long enough (six months!!! ahhh!!! WHERE DOES THE TIME GO!) for me to say, if you were like, "Anne I met this guy – he said he'd kill himself if I didn't go out with him, and then he made me lie in the road…?" I would hop on a plane and say everything I am saying right now but to your face while I forced you to watch The Notebook in a public space. (I don't know you well enough to go to your house – I'm sorry.)
6. But, fine, sure, there are cute parts!
Duh! I have a heart, you guys. I mean, these kids are young . . . live your lives, kids! But wait, now she's shoving ice cream in his face? A WASTE. A waste of ice cream, I tell you! Just . . . I don't know, throw water into his face instead? Or maybe nothing? Throw nothing? But okay, now we're at the part with his Dad and the poems, and CONFIRMED: this is cute, and Frank Calhoun is revealing Noah's history as a stutterer (bad move, sir), but they're eating breakfast at night and I love a good pancake, I'll tell you that much for free.
7. Full disclosure: I don't understand what the bird part means
Is that bad? Am I a bad person? Is something wrong? (Yes.) And maybe I'm just cynical and 54 years old, but I'm watching this scene and I just want to be like, "Guys – what is this? Allie, why are you pretending to be a bird? WHY IS EVERYONE COMPROMISING THEIR IDENTITIES?!" Just be cool! Just . . . go buy ice cream that you will actually enjoy and savour it and don't waste it and then go to the fair and re-do that weird rendezvous you had the last time. Catch a movie, maybe? Ditch those friends, though – they don't have your best interests at heart.
8. I would also not want to get in the water, Allie! You're not alone!
I hate the water! (Lies – I love it if it's in a pool.) But I get you, Allie! We're on the same page! I wouldn't want to get into the water either! But why are you slapping your boyfriend in this next scene? STOP THE PRESS. GET IN THE WATER.
9. Allie's Dad looks like Chris Parnell
DOESN'T HE? Look!
LOOK! (I know I'm not alone here, right? Can somebody please contact Chris Parnell and ask him to confirm that I am correct? I can't offer you anything but a promise that if you meet a guy like Noah, I would jump on a plane and tell you that you guys need to have a serious conversation.)
10. Remember when the random guy asks Noah how much he makes an hour?
WOW. What?! You know who does that? Someone who is the worst! Noah, it's okay. Listen, buddy, I made minimum wage for a really long time, and then I made only a slightly bit more, but still! Nobody asks that. Nobody. Someone asked me that a few months ago, and I actually answered them honestly, and I have never regretted anything more because nothing feels worse than that question. No one ever asks that question – outright and like that – to be "nice." They say it to make you feel bad or to say what they make. You know who asks that question honestly? Friends, when you are actually talking about money, but it's usually volunteered on your part. But at a dinner party? No! Never! Listen here, Chris Parnell's friends, YOU are out of order.
10. b) And remember how Allie doesn't tell Noah she's leaving for a school in New York?
Not cool, Allie. Not. Cool.
See: Noah's expression in the last frame.
11. EEE the big "let's do it" scene is . . . noooooope
I just can't with it. I can't! I'm sorry. Just . . . they're standing there and it's like, WHY ARE YOU JUST STANDING LIKE THAT. Why is there no segway? Not even kissing! Just like, taking their clothes off on opposite sides of the room. And WALKING over to a blanket. Like a meeting! Like Peggy and Stan in that episode of Mad Men where she calls him out on being a nudist, only I would rather watch that scene because guys, that was a really funny scene, come on – right? (Guys? Hello?)
PS. Now they are kneeling. And there's no sound! No music! Nothing! And then he gets kind of annoyed at her asking questions? And no one here is actually answering the question on everyone's mind: diiiiiiiid Noah maybe bring protection? Because that is a big giant "yikes" up in here that I wouldn't mind us having confirmation on.
12. Okay, Allie's parents: Reeeeeeeeeeellllaaaaaxxxxx
Woah, wait – I wrote that before they were talking about it being 2 in the morning. MY BAD. Never mind, Allie's parents – you SHOULD freak out. Because you know what? I would, and there were no cell phones in this day and age. So who knows where Allie could've been. Allie! What the hell. It's 2 in the morning! That is LATE. Even for me, a grown-ass woman. And you know what? I STILL tell people where I'm going and how late I'll be because courtesy, Allie. But maybe let's all take a step back, Mom and Dad who called Noah "trash" because that is just inappropriate and terrible. Actually this whole scene is inappropriate and terrible and I hate it. WHY IS NO ONE BEING RATIONAL HERE.
So I mean, it was already bizarre that this is how Allie's family was acting. That was already weird. And I think we've already touched base on the whole Noah-Allie dynamic that makes me kind of feel a little uncomfortable. But now the fight? Where Allie is attacking Noah and his car and Noah himself and then he starts slapping himself? WHAAAAAT. Noooooope. She is a brat, you guys. And he is also not the most rational of versions of human beings, I will also say. No one here is being a regular person! Why? Why is no one saying, "Allie, this is going to be tough . . . maybe we should try and work something out" and her saying, "That works – what do you think we should do?" And then they would come up with something to do. There. I just wrote The Notebook. Only it's not really a notebook – and it's called The Page.
14. I'm sorry that I haven't addressed the old people, and it's about time that I do
WELP, it's time to just cut to the chase. I'm sorry to rain on this parade, but we're having fun, right? We're having a laugh? Well instead of laughing, let's maybe make the face Peggy Olson made when Megan told her she was throwing Don a surprise party. First, these guys are supposed to be 16 in … 1941? Okay. So that means they were born in 1925. Cool! And this movie was made in 2004. So they'd be 79. And you know who looks 79 in this movie? Zero. Zero people look 79. And especially the actors who are supposed to play 79-year-old Noah and Allie. Second, man, alzheimer's is the worst disease. My grandma has it – she doesn't know me, or our family, and she lives on a floor with people who have various stages – and if they even remotely looked as healthy as Allie when she's supposed to have alzheimer's, that is what we would call a "miracle."
I'm sorry, that was a huge buzzkill. I APOLOGIZE. But if I can call Luke Skywalker a brat, and revisit Spice World without a hint of irony, we can have five minutes of real talk. WE'RE ALL FRIENDS HERE I LOVE YOU.
15. I love Han! Lon? Lon! I love him!
Like, HELLO NURSE, point the first. (Literally.) (Get it? Because Allie's a nurse.) Second, WHAT. A. BABE. And so nice! And so kind! And so funny! And so much fun! And I'm sorry, but that party he proposes to Allie at with her parents? It's the best! That looks like literally the best time in the world. And you don't want that, Allie? Am I wrong here? Am I wrong that I like Lon more? Because I do! THERE I SAID IT I LIKE LON. I LIKE LON BETTER. I WANT ALLIE TO CHOOSE LON.
Sweet, beautiful perfect Lon.
16. And to help prove my point, Noah has literally gone insane!
LITERALLY! He has literally lost his mind! He's now not shaving, he wants to set his house on fire, and now he's holding a gun and calling the man who bid on his house a "lunatic"? Oh, and now he's hooking up with a war widow. Just for fun! Despite her having feelings for him.
"Isn't that special." – Church Lady
You are the worst, Noah Calhoun. And I knew it from the very. first. scene.
17. No, that is a lie because ALLIE is the worst
WOW. WOW, just . . . WHAT. So Allie sees a photo of Noah in the paper. And passes out? SIMMER. Uncalled for. Maybe just say, "Hey – woah, Mom. Let's talk." But no. No, instead she goes to her fiancee and scares him and makes it seem like she's going to leave him (spoiler alert: she does!) and he's still totally trusting and says, "Do what you gotta do, girl" and then she does what she gotta does, and she goes to Noah's house where he is a recluse. And then he won't talk to her, and she crashes the car into a tree.
"These . . . PEOPLE." – Emily in The Devil Wears Prada
18. FINE, this part's okay, I GUESS
Meanwhile, in opposite land, to combat the worst, THE BEST (eh?) part is ensuing with Noah being all, "IT'S NOT OVER IT STILL ISN'T OVER." Boom! Drops mic! YOLO! Except maaaaybe don't cheat on your fiancee, Allie? Because he's a really great guy? And I'm only adding these question marks because otherwise I feel like I'm being too harsh? But whatever! Okay! For now let's just focus on the fact that her dress is totally ruined and they waited until it's actually a monsoon and they're about to drown to talk about mail and the relationship in its entire and UGH just be cool, you guys! You're out of control! WHAT ABOUT LON MY BEAUTIFUL BOYFRIEND LON WHO I LOVE.
It's like they don't even care about my feelings.
19. Why don't we all just hang out with the lady Noah has been hooking up with for the past couple years?
Is the thought that I guess went through Allie's mind. Let's all hang! We're all friends! You know what we all have in common? (DON'T ANSWER THAT.) And she gets there in the morning, and she leaves at night, meaning they hung out ALL DAY FOR AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS. Wow. Like a shift at work. That is I think the worst situation I have ever had to witness. And then she leaves. The widow leaves – alone – because she can never be with her husband WHO DIED. But that's fine! Just come on over and hang with Noah and Allie! And then she's all, "I feel like I have something to look forward to." Sure. Okay, let's go with that. Friends, am I ruining The Notebook for you? I'm sorry – it's just like, what is going on, am I right? Also, I'll share with you that I totally watched this and wept about three years ago when I was bummed out about some guy. So there. We're all on the same field. But now that field requires us commenting on . . .
20. Allie painting in the nude . . . ?
Sure. And then answer the door wrapped in a blanket . . . ? Just adds to the mystique of the house, then, maybe, I guess. I don't know. "Oh Noah's house! That one! The guy there is an actual recluse, and his girlfriend paints nude on the porch." Whatever blows your hair back. And speaking of DA-RAMA, remember the time . . .
21. Allie tries to blame everyone else for her choosing to cheat on Lon
MY SWEET BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL BOYFRIEND NAMED LON. This is how she treats him! And then she gets mad at her mom and is all, "Oh, so I guess cheating on my fiancee makes me a bad person!" UGH YEAH KINDA ALLIE. Especially when you could've just talked to him like an adult. Here's how I think the conversation could have gone:
Allie: "Hey, Lon. Listen. This is hard for me to say, but I was in love with this guy a long time ago, and now I'm having second thoughts about us. I'm so sorry."
Lon: "Yikes. Well. We have to talk about a lot. I guess we're on a break? I'm really upset and hurt, but let's talk about this. I think we really need to talk about this exactly like Ross and Rachel in Friends."
Only Allie is Ross and Rachel is Lon. And nobody has a baby named Emma. And there are 365 letters. Or 364. Either way! Shout-out to Allie's mom who tied the letters in a big green bow. (Literally.)
23. See, I am still 100% sold on the Lon-Allie relationship
Is this what age does? I think it may. You kind of realize that this Allie-Noah dynamic is terrible, and that if you had a friend in the situation, you'd be like, "UGH, my friend and her boyfriend are SO INTENSE. I think I need to only see her about twice a year." Right? RIGHT? And the fighting! Oh GOD, the fighting. Why can't we all just get along? Remember when Allie and Lon were at that fun party? What a fun party that was! Everyone was having so much fun! And now everyone "hates" each other and it's like… UGH. I would hate this! I would hate every minute of this relationship. I'd be stressed out ALL the time. "We are going to have to work at this every day" says Noah. WOOF. Geez. Why can't we just like… eat tacos and hang and laugh? Is that the worst thing? Should we all be yelling at each other and shouting? I hope not. Where's Lon, my boyfriend?
Look! She doesn't even care! #RIPLaughter
24. So poor Lon, then
POOR BEAUTIFUL SWEET PERFECT LON WHO IS PROBABLY NOW RUINED. Like, hi. Broke his body in the war, rebounded from that and into the arms of who he thought was the love of his life, who crushed his heart. Good! GOOD ONE, ALLIE. Good job, everyone! WE DID IT. We have ruined sweet beautiful sweet perfect wonderful Lon, father of my children. I wonder how bad Lon's inevitable drinking problem gets in The Notebook 2: Lon's Revenge.
25. Aaaaaand the ending is sad, let's just all agree on that
It is. IT IS SAD. But you know what? As sad as it is, what makes me sadder is that Noah and goes and dies on his family? That's pretty uncool. Like, my Nana died and she was the love of my Grandpa's life, but guess what: he was all, "Well I have my son and my daughters and my grandchildren who love me so it'll be awful, BUT I won't be alone." And he's not! But Noah's like, "Nah – I'll refrain from seeing my grandchildren grow, and I'll give my family the cost of TWO funerals because one wasn't enough." WHAT?! What a terrible ending! No wonder we're all crying!

Even without another team, future of Utah sporting scene is bright
Jeff Robbins couldn't fall asleep. Though it was long after the sun went down, the nine-hour time difference and the lingering jet lag kept Robbins up in his Athens hotel room.
At about 2 a.m., the president and CEO of the Utah Sports Commission - who was in Greece for an international sports convention June 2-6 - tuned into a sports channel and found himself watching the Super Bike Event being held in Tooele at Miller Motorsports Park.
"It was broadcast out there live. My sense is people see the footprint of the state, in terms of sports, and it could be larger than we think it is," Robbins said. "It's not a stretch to say people are seeing Utah as a pretty robust sports market."
Robbins didn't expect to see an international broadcast of a Utah event, but he isn't exactly surprised.
"There is a high interest level in sports here," Robbins said. "People have a very positive image of Utah for sports and all the exposure we're getting. It's a very positive view of us right now."
And though landing a major professional franchise - such as a National Hockey League, National Football League or Major League Baseball team - is not likely in Utah's immediate future, the teams and sports with roots in Utah are well supported.
No lack of interest
This past season, the Utah Jazz had fans that made Energy Solutions Arena the rowdiest and loudest venue in the National Basketball Association. The Brigham Young football team brought out an average of about 65,000 people - ranked 27th in the nation - to its home games in 2007. The Blaze's average attendance, just under 15,000 a game, made the team tops in the league when it came to revenue.
Utah clearly can generate the interest to support its sports teams.
"We've got an unbelievable following of fans. We sold more season tickets than anyone else in the league," said Utah Flash owner Brandt Andersen. "But, would it support a Major League Baseball team? The market is potentially too small for that."
Indeed. The smallest baseball market is Milwaukee, with about 1.6 million people. Salt Lake's metro area is around 1.3 million.
A more dense population, Andersen said, would help build a fan base and foundation for a major professional franchise.
But fans in Utah are scattered along the Wasatch Front, making it harder to create a season ticket base.
Fan interest is just one aspect of whether another pro team would thrive in Utah. Sponsors are perhaps an even bigger part of the equation.
"You look at the cost of building a venue for football or baseball or the sponsorship needed to drive that business locally. We might be too early in the process of having a major league franchise," Robbins said. "[But], certainly I see information that seems like Salt Lake City or Utah is mentioned all the time in the discussion. There's a perception here that it could be a possibility."
Nontraditional route
Utah's sports landscape is growing in ways that don't involve the traditional sports. In recent years, the state has seen an increase in interest for extreme or action sports.
Last year, the Dew Tour made Salt Lake City one of five national stops and brought together the largest gathering of BMX bikers, skaters, boarders and motocross riders. It was the biggest multisport and multivenue event in Utah since the Winter Olympics in 2002. It also brought out 61,900 spectators.
The XTERRA Mountain Championship, an off-road triathlon, will again be held in Ogden this year on Aug. 16.
"We're just scratching the surface," Ogden Mayor Matthew Godfrey said. "Ogden is ideally suited for these adventure sporting events. Mountains are close by but there's an urban location. I really think we will continue to have national and international sporting events relocate to Utah."
The surge in popularity for these sports could also be due to the demographics of the state. Utah has the youngest population in the country by median age and less-traditional sports seem to be catching and keeping the attention of the younger fans.
Miller Motorsports Park has been a giant in creating a new genre of spectators. Since the park opened in 2006, it has hosted the Utah Grand Prix, Sunchaser 1000, NASCAR Grand National Division, West Series, and the FIM Superbike World Championship Robbins saw in Greece.
Ninety-five TV networks broadcast the Superbike event to 173 countries and was expected to draw an audience of an estimated 120 million people.
"People look at Utah now in a more diverse way. There's action sports, motor sports, extreme sports, international skiing - there's a tremendous sports infrastructure," Robbins said. "We have the best of both worlds. We have the natural venues and the state-of-the-art man-made venues."
Future growth in golf?
Just as the 2002 Winter Olympics brought the international spotlight on the quality of skiing in Utah, golf needs a major national event to bring the sport to another level.
"We had the best skiing in the world but until we held the Olympics, we were the only ones who knew about it," said Scott Whittaker, the executive director of the Utah Section of the PGA. "I think it's a little like that with golf."
The national exposure would bring in more spectators to golf in Utah, which is mostly a noncompetitive sport here.
The Utah Golf Association has held a State Amateur - the longest continuously held tournament in the world - and the Tournament of Champions, but a big-time sponsor would be needed to hold a national event.
Golf is more popular at the local level in Utah. There are about 130 golf courses in the state, allowing Utah to have the highest participation rate per capita in the nation.
"Golf is healthier from the ground up here. It's not a rich person's sport," Whittaker said. "There's a lot of interest in local tournaments, but not so much that [people are] watching it on TV every single weekend."
Another reason Utah hasn't had success in popularity on the national scale is the state doesn't have a golf course recognized as world class, although golf courses like Glenwild in Park City or Wolf Creek near Ogden Canyon could have the potential to hold a major event. Whittaker said the Utah Section of the PGA would support a big event, but Utah just doesn't have the resources - at least for now.
Golf is just another route that could further perpetuate the growth of Utah's already expanding sports market.
Filling the void
Although Utah fans probably won't have a major league baseball, football or hockey team to cheer for in the near future, the sports landscape in Utah is ballooning steadily.
It is because athletics is a big part of the culture in the state.
"Utah is a sports state. Sports is entrenched in who Utahns are," Andersen said. "We have some unbelievable pro and college teams and, win or lose, attendance will be there. That tells you people are spending money on sports."
And as long as there is that interest, the future of sports in the state is promising.
"I don't think Utah will sit and wait until one of these [professional] franchises materializes," Robbins said. "Football and baseball will have an opportunity but we'll evolve in other areas. That will fill the void."
"My sense is people see the footprint of the state, in terms of sports, and it could be larger than we think it is. It's not a stretch to say people are seeing Utah as a pretty robust sports market."

Charity chiefs back PM in donor boost appeal
Posted: June 24, 2014|
A CHARITY aimed at getting people signed up to be a bone marrow donor has said that Prime Minister David Cameron's backing of the Mail's Taking Five Minutes campaign was "wonderful news".
Henny Braund, chief executive of Anthony Nolan, spoke of her delight after the country's top politician decided to throw his weight behind the initiative and urged more people in Burton and South Derbyshire to become an organ, bone marrow or blood donor.
This comes as part of a renewed effort by cancer survivor Katherine Sinfield, 33, of Balfour Street, to get more people in the area signed up after a recent survey showed that more people were needed to help out.
Mrs Braund said: "It's wonderful news that David Cameron is backing this campaign and that he has recognised the role that MPs can play in increasing the number of potential donors in their communities.
"Two thirds of people who need a lifesaving bone marrow transplant can't find a donor within their own family, so it's absolutely vital that people join the Anthony Nolan register.
"We are hugely grateful to David Cameron for highlighting this important issue, and we now need even more people to join the fight against blood cancer and champion the register at a local level, as we know such support works."
People aged 16 to 30 can join the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register just by filling in an online form and providing a saliva sample.
Mrs Sinfield has been campaigning for more people to come forward ever since she was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia and told the only way she would live is that if she secured a bone marrow transplant.
Mr Cameron spoke highly of her efforts.
He said: "Leukaemia bone marrow transplants have better outcomes if the donor has the same tissue type as the person who is receiving the donation, which is why the Mail's campaign is so important.
"I hope the campaign can find donors for the many others battling leukaemia who are awaiting a potentially lifesaving individual to come forward to their aid."

In response to DelGriffith's comment:
So, say if Brady doesn't have a good year and will be 36 next year in the last year of his deal and Mallett continues to progress, you re-up Brady at the current price of 20 mil per year for elite QBs?
Why is this such an outlandish idea? Indy just tanked their season in order to move on from Gomer because they knew they had to. The SF 49ers saw Montana fade with age and they turned to Young who was developed in the Walsh system.
The fact that this stuff can't even be comprehended by some here is childish. Also, I said if a team offered you a huge package (two 1st rders to start), that wouldn't be something to consider?
We'll see how the rest of the year goes for him and the offense, but he hasn't been consistent for a LONG time, going back to 2010, actually.
If there was any thought of trading Brady because he is losing his magic, should have pulled the trigger this past spring. Elway was chopping at the bit, get two first rounders for Brady then sign free agent Peyton Manning.
I'm not suggesting we should have traded Brady, I'm just saying that would have been a hell of an opportunity.

Editor's Note: This is a free edition of The Technical Indicator, a daily MarketWatch subscriber column. To get this column, including 100 technical stock picks every month, click here.
CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) — The S&P 500 Index continues to grind slowly, but steadily, toward the headline 2,000 mark.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. markets' bigger-picture technicals continue to support the bull case. The charts below add color:
Before detailing the U.S. markets' wider view, the S&P 500's hourly chart highlights the past two weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P has pulled back to its range from all-time highs.
Initial support now holds at 1,967 (this week's low) and is followed by a more important floor at the July low of 1,952.
Meanwhile, the Dow industrials' near-term backdrop is weaker.
The index briefly whipsawed under notable support before reversing to its range by Monday's close.
Looking ahead, the 16,970 area remains an inflection point, and is followed by resistance spanning from 17,133 (last week's high) to the Dow's record peak of 17,151.
And the Nasdaq Composite has also pulled in from recent highs.
In its case, the 4,450 area marks an inflection point, and is followed by significant resistance at the July peak of 4,485.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
On this wider view, two technical levels stand out:
- Nasdaq resistance at the July peak of 4,485.93. The index topped last week at 4,485.50.
- Support at the July low of 4,351.
The Nasdaq's 50-day moving average currently rests at 4,347 — matching support at the July low — and its path of least resistance points higher barring a violation of this area.
Moving to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, its six-month backdrop remains bullish.
Consider that its 50-day moving average currently rests at 16,867, and the Dow rallied from this area Monday.
The blue-chip benchmark hasn't notched three consecutive closes under the 50-day since February, and its path of least resistance points higher barring a violation of this area.
Similarly, the S&P 500's wider view remains constructive.
As illustrated, the index topped last week at 1,991 — marking an all-time high — and the immediate pullback from record territory has been shallow.
The bigger picture
As detailed above, the U.S. benchmarks' price action remains characteristically sluggish, but largely constructive.
Still, to the extent there's a market headwind, the chart below adds color:
Consider that the iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM, +0.20% a small-cap market gauge, continues to lag behind its larger-cap counterparts.
In fact, the Russell 2000 violated its major moving averages earlier this month, and has subsequently observed the breakdown point as resistance.
This is bearish price action, and viewed in isolation, the small-caps' path of least resistance technically points lower.
But scaling up in size, the SPDR S&P MidCap 400's MDY, +0.20% backdrop is stronger.
In its case, the mid-cap benchmark has drawn buyers at its breakout point, a level currently matching the 50-day moving average. Separately, the MDY's six-month trendline is rising to meet support, and the group's path of least resistance points higher barring a violation of this area.

PV Powered Announces Two Megawatt Commercial Projects
SPG Solar, Inc. chooses PV Powered inverters for new California installations.
Bend, OR—PV Powered, Inc., the innovation leader in solar inverter reliability, performance, installability, and serviceability, announces that its commercial solar inverters have been selected by SPG Solar, Inc. of Novato, Calif. for two large-scale installations in California.
The first of the two new installations is at a rice drying facility in Williams, Calif. (north of Sacramento) operated by the DePue Warehouse Company. This 1MW AC system, installed in December 2009, includes four of PV Powered's new 260kW commercial inverters (see photo accompanying this release).
The second project will install commercial solar power generation systems at up to 21 different facilities owned by the Irvine, Calif. Unified School District. Depending on the facility, different PV Powered commercial inverters, from 30kW to 260 kW in size will be used.
"We selected PV Powered inverters for these projects because we have determined them to be reliable in the long run, highly efficient, and cost effective to operate," said Ted Walsh, SPG Solar Vice President of Business Development. "Since we stand behind every system that we install, we rely on our trusted partners to stand behind their products too," continued Walsh, "and PV Powered is an established manufacturer with a reputation for quality products and service."
For the commercial market, PV Powered offers a wide range of inverter sizes for optimal stringing and design flexibility. Features of the PV Powered 260kW inverter that make it a good choice for megawatt-scale commercial solar projects include its industry-leading 97% efficiency and widest input voltage range (full power down to 265 VDC) yielding full-power output. In addition, the product features a customizable internal fused sub-combiner that enables units to be installed easily and efficiently. The inverters also provide integrated support for third-party performance monitoring, which will be implemented in all of the SPG Solar installations.
"PV Powered is demonstrating that they are not just getting the big things right – they are paying attention to the details that help us deliver great PV systems," said Ted Walsh of SPG Solar.
As with all of its commercial inverters, PV Powered provides its 260kW inverter customers with a standard 10-year warranty and optional 20-year warranty.
"PV Powered ensures that our customers get maximum energy harvest by delivering inverters with the highest reliability over a 20+ year operating life," said Erick Petersen, VP of Sales and Marketing at PV Powered. "Our installed base of commercial inverters has been experiencing an uptime rate of 99.9% - consistently better results than any other commercial inverter supplier in the industry has delivered. With this track record, we look forward to working with leaders like SPG Solar on many successful commercial projects in the future."

Clemson pitching dominates lefty batters in opening weekend
The Clemson Sports Blog
Clemson baseball's opening weekend had its share of impressive pitching.
Right-hander Scott Firth earned the win Sunday with five strikeouts, allowing two hits and one run in seven innings.
Per Seldom Used Reserve's baseball lefty-righty splits, Firth didn't allow a hit facing 12 left-handed batters and had a .90 WHIP against right-handed foes.
In a no-decision opener, righty ace Daniel Gossett threw 6.2 scoreless innings with six strikeouts, also not giving up a hit to lefty bat with a 28.57 strikeout percentage against them.
Success against William & Mary left-handed bats was a trend in the weekend, with seven of 11 Tiger pitchers not allowing a base knock to them in 30 tries.
Saturday starter, RHP Patrick Andrews, gave up a weekend-high four earned runs, but set down 5-of-6 left-handed bats with two strikeouts. In relief of Andrews, freshman righty Clate Schmidt struck out two and didn't give up a hit in five at-bats.
The almost across-the-board success against lefties suggests it's not exactly a strength for the Tribe, but it will be interesting to track as the year goes on for the Tigers.
Also of note, the freshmen debuts for LHP Matthew Crownover and RHP Brody Koerner were a bit rocky. In 1.1 innings pitched, Koerner walked four and gave up two earned runs (three runs total), and Crownover surrendered two hits and two earned runs in 0.2 IP. Lefty frosh Zack Erwin didn't get into the action this weekend.

1. Virginia (.345 BA/36 R/4 HR/34 RBI/23 BB)
2. Virginia Tech (.303 BA/34 R/5 HR/29 RBI)

We recently asked
Wayne Carlton to give us a little history of himself and how he pioneered part of
todays hunting industry.
The game calling part of the industry actually started when I was a kid
growing up in Florida. I had an uncle, Harvey Beckham, who was the Daniel Boone of Florida
in his day. He knew how to call alligators, raccoons, turkeys, and crows. As kids we used
to call it swamp waving. We loved to follow him.
Many Sunday afternoons we would walk through woods and wade through
swamps with Uncle Harvey. He taught me the importance of calling. Once when coon hunting,
his dogs led us to a big oak tree. I was shining a light to see where the coons were so I
could shoot them, but they wouldnt look at us. My uncle did a coon and a dogfight
call. That made all the coons look down to see who was whooping up on "Fred", a
coon that had fallen out of the tree.
It created such havoc! When those coons all looked to see who was
fighting, I started shooting. We killed 12 coons out of that one tree. When we had a
negative situation because we couldnt see any eyes, Uncle Harvey imitated something
to make those animals respond. What a lesson I learned!
Uncle Harvey chased the same whitetail deer for two years; it had a
27-inch spread that was slightly curved on the left side. He finally killed that big
whitetail. That was Harvey. That was what made him who he was; everybody looked up to him.
The excitement of calling, seeing the owls and turkeys and other critters come to him,
planted the seed in my own life.
After I came home from the Navy it took me two months to utter my first
sound on a diaphragm turkey call, which had just been introduced. Because I didnt
have to use my hands to call I became a tenacious turkey hunter. I was not that good, but
I was persistent. Hunting turkeys created a lot of discipline in me. My wife and I moved
out West when I was 32. We didnt know where we were going to live. I didnt
have a job; we had two kids and a dog. We settled in Montrose, Colorado in August. I heard
elk bugling that first September and it sounded almost like a turkey whistle so we started
calling elk with a diaphram turkey call.
For six years we called elk for all of our friends, and some folks who
werent our friends. It finally dawned on me that maybe we were on to something. A
writer, Rich LaRocco, from Outdoor Life, did a feature article, "Calling elk
with a turkey call". LaRocco told me to get a couple calls, a grunt tube, and some
cassette tapes to teach people how to do this. My wife and I put some recording equipment
together; I went in the studio and recorded my first audiotape. We got on the market in
April and sold about 7,000 from April until August. But when that article hit in August,
we did 71,000. We were on top of the elk world because nobody had a diaphram elk call at
the time. We started with five products. When we sold we had 108 products and were doing
around $1 million in annual sales.
Q: What is the key to being a success in that industry?
A: One of two things. You either need to have a lot of
money so you can promote your idea, or you have to have an idea unique enough to promote
itself. I didnt have the money, but I had a unique product: the diaphragm elk call.
Elk calling was becoming more and more popular, and I was just the fortunate one to market
that elk call first. We had that first year to ourselves. Then Larry Jones, who had been
in the market a year longer than me, came out with his call. He had clients who were more
loyal to him than to me.
We did real good the first year; we did OK the second year, and after
that we started growing. We had a unique product; nobody else had it. That was the
beginning. Why were we successful? Its different for different companies, but for me
personally it ended up being that I was a good public speaker. We were doing seminars on
how to not only call elk, but also how to hunt elk. People enjoyed hearing the hunting
stories. They enjoyed seeing the videos; they enjoyed the seminars. We gained quite a
following just from the seminar circuit.
Q: Once you got so big and sold your business, you started
doing some other things? Do we need to be looking for any new products from you in the
A: You saw the super sneakers in the show from
Carlton. Ive designed some pretty neat products over the years and Ive
actually gotten the patent on three of them. But the latest thing, the super sneakers, is
for the person who goes hunting and is trying to get close to wildlife. Theres an
awful lot of pressure just trying to get there: hiking, turning a rock over, scraping a
boot on a rock or these silly felt pads. They take the stress out of doing that. I think
out of anything Ive come up with, super sneakers are one of the better deals.
Q: What product are you most proud of?
A: Since the diaphram elk call got us to where we are, then I would
have to say that was the most important thing. That opened the door for everything else.
The diaphram elk calls were probably the most successful.
Q: Where do you think your largest target market is now and how does the
economy affect where youre trying to market your products?
A: I have always been a Western guy. I design
products that will work in the East, and will certainly work in the Midwest. For instance
we have a whitetail buck and doe grunt that really calls deer in like no other. Its
got a real high-pitched grunt to it that seems to stimulate them. But Ive tried to
focus on the West. I knew I didnt have the money to buy the market back East where
there were a ton of guys with every kind of call you could imagine. But I wanted to make
sure that I knew the West better than anyone else. And thats what Ive tried to
do: design products that would work in the West like our shoulder panniers. A Western guy
hiking in the canyon doesnt want to carry a backpack around, but nobody back East
would think twice about it. We also have super sneakers. We hunt on a lot of rocks out
West. If youre sheep hunting or goat hunting in the mountains above Timberline,
thats an awful lot of rock. And you have something that takes all that noise out of
the stalk. Were not going to sell a lot of that back East. My market is out West.
Q: Do you think the current state of the economy is having an
effect on how you market your stuff?
A: I think it is overall. I think sales are down
industry wide. But Ive been in the business 20 years, and Ive seen it cycle
and do that several times. Theres nothing wrong with that because its just a
business cycle. However, its not good for dealers or for the guy whos not
managing his sporting goods store as efficiently as he should. It shouldnt affect
the people who understand how to survive this sort of thing, however. Its just part
of business. I do find that when the economy is like it is right now, people need to get
on the phone, call the dealers, and find out how they can help. Do you need a videotape of
the product whether its an elk call or super sneakers? Do we need to do a seminar to
enthuse your local guys? Just dont sit on your hands and wish it would go away. Make
it go away. People like myself need to make suggestions on how dealers can motivate sales
and get their clients out of the humdrums.
Q: Where do you feel like the hunting industry as a whole, will be
in the future?
A: Everybody says we have fewer hunters per capita
than we did 20 years ago. Thats kind of a misnomer because there are more people
than there were 20 years ago, a lot more people. I do not see a reduction in the number of
hunters. As a matter of fact, I see more people going hunting. So in some respects, I wish
the numbers were true, but I dont think they are. We could be losing habitat to some
degree. Where guys were turkey hunting before, there are houses now. So that pushes those
individuals to another part of the country. Hunters condense where game is available.
Around Montrose, Colorado I really like turkey hunting in the spring. I
dont want to do any more seminars here because it gets people excited. They think,
" Ill go try that," and another guy is in the woods competing with me for
the same turkey. Thats what I experienced this morning. The only problem was I
missed it. My old man taught me how to turkey hunt. He said that youll remember the
ones you missed more than the ones you killed.
Q: I know you are affiliated with quite a few non-profit
organizations. Could you tell our readers which ones you are affiliated with and why you
support them?
A: Im affiliated with the National Wild Turkey
Federation (NWTF), the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), and the Mule Deer Foundation
(MDF). Also Safari. I think all sorts of people enjoy hunting a particular species of
animals. Turkey hunters all want to hunt turkeys. Then, by golly, they need to be a member
of the NWTF. I dont care if the NWTF headquarters is in Edge Ville, South Carolina.
Theyre doing more for wild turkeys than any other organization in the world. The
same thing holds true for elk. How dare a hunter go out and hunt elk and not be a member
of a conservation group like the RMEF.! Why not help that effort? Im a strong
supporter that we need to be members of conservation groups that protect and enhance the
habitat of the species that we love. A duck hunter needs to be a member of Ducks Unlimited
(DU). Theres absolutely no question about it. When I do seminars Im surprised
how many people are not a member of anything.
Q: Youve got to give back a little bit. It seems that in
todays market there arent a lot of ethical hunters. Theyre really
wrapped up in whats in it for them.
A: Well the payback, what you would call the
etiquette, is not there. Guys say, "Heck Im not sending them 25 or 50 bucks. I
dont even know them. I think we need to support conservation. An interesting tidbit:
I was sitting in on a meeting where some women were trying to determine how to keep so
many deer from being killed on the highway. So I went to the meeting. I was just
dumbfounded at how these sweet little old ladies thought that if you were a Republican you
were against any conservation or anything for wildlife. The moderator kept talking about:
Democrats this, and Democrats that, and how bad Republicans were. I finally told her,
"Maam, you got to be nutty as all get out if you think Republicans dont
have anything to do with politics." Hunters for the most part are the ones who create
conservation. It isnt the anti-hunters. Its not you folks sitting here. You
didnt start a conservation group; you are trying to figure out how to keep deer from
getting killed. Were trying to improve their habitat so they have a better life
while theyre living here. Yeah, we hunt, but being Democrat or Republican
doesnt have anything to do with it.
Q: Theres been a lot of misconception when it comes to
those issues. It would be nice if we could educate the whole public as to what the hunter
really means to the animals, because if we take the hunter away there will be no animals
A: And you got it dead center.
Q: So we have something to look forward to from Wayne Carlton?
A: Yes, were manufacturing. I just completely
redesigned the elk call line for Hunter Specialties and weve got some new calls
coming out. We took the old fighting cow call and put a bell on the end of it and put
total flops on it. I think I showed it to you at the show. It is a heck of a good call.
Q: Are you still affiliated with Hunters Specialties?
A: Yeah, as a matter of fact we are at the end of our
five-year agreement and are renegotiating for another term. Were going to continue
to design products and do videos. Were toying with whether we want to do a TV show
or not.
Q: One more question: Im well aware of your love for
hunting. Given that, if time and money were not an object, where and what would your dream
hunt be?
A: Im
personally interested in this one. I have so much fun doing what I do that Africa would
turn me on. I wouldnt mind going to Africa, but I wouldnt call it a dream
hunt. I think a dream hunt would be one of two things: being able to hunt elk in every
state would be a dream hunt; or to hunt moose in all the different providences in Canada
as well as in the United States.

Xtreme Taste
Xtreme Taste is serious about value, but is it seriously worth it? Pretty much — this is a hole in the wall that probably won't burn a hole in your pocket. Specializing in Mediterranean cuisine, the takeout line generally stretches out the open door and curls around the front window, which is an auspicious sign.
Each customer is served by the laughing ladies behind the counter who quickly portion-out pre-made meats, fish and salads. But make sure you're paying attention when your turn finally comes, or you might be the recipient of a "Hey you! Your order!?" This is, by definition, serious business.
I'm now convinced by the seriousness of their customer base and business tactics, but what about the food? I keep coming back to the price of it all, which is seriously palatable. $4.79 for a chicken kebab plate with rice and a choice of three salads. $5.00 for a chicken breast sandwich with two salads on the side — same goes for the veal. Ravished with hunger, my two dining companions and I dug into our meals, anticipating ultimate midday satisfaction. Overall, we went 1/3 on the scorecard.
The chicken kebab plate was a clear winner, with a couple of moist, well-seasoned pieces of meat and a nice-sized side of slightly soggy fatoush salad, pasta salad and rice. We actually all ordered the fatoush as one of our sides due to a prior recommendation. It was, alas, overly acidic from a bit too much vinegar and lime juice, though somewhat balanced out by the fresh parsley.
The veal and chicken sandwiches both missed the mark. Served in a standard pita, the sodden veal cutlet was untraditionally coupled with lettuce and tomato and lacked a defining flavour, not to mention the tongue-tickling bite that should have come with my "extra spicy" request.
It's clear that one's options are limited when trying to beat, or even match the price-point of Xtreme Taste for a Yorkville lunch. So, when treating your wallet to a break, this is a fast and affordable option, but don't expect a special treat for your taste buds.

"this review is nothing without the seafood combo"
That's the reason almost everyone goes there..
$6 for decent sea bass, a skewer of shrimp, calamari, rice, tahini and your choice of two salads
And FYI for the blog editor, this was never properly listed on the blog page (no link in the post,only way to find this is to go to the restaurants link).
And since we're on the subject of cheap food in the Yorkville area, how does that "Express" place next to the Bay station exit on cumberland fare?

If you roll
Deciding whether or not to roller ski is a cost/benefit calculation. If you decide to roll, here are some guidelines for how to ski on asphalt as safely as possible.
How to avoid a bad trip
Here are twelve most common pitfalls that can lead to a bad trip, followed by ways to prevent or manage the situation.
New film to focus on ice climbing in Michigan
The maker of a cinematic 2013 short film publicizing
Marquette, Michigan's groomed snow bike trail have taken on another U.P. silent sport as the subject of his next film: the rich history of ice climbing in nearby Munising. And filmmaker Aaron Peterson is using Kickstarter to crowd source the finances needed to complete the two-year movie project.
Backcountry vs. frontcountry
What are the advantages and disadvantages to snowshoeing in either backcountry or frontcountry areas? First what is the backcountry and frontcountry?
Poles apart
Don Erickson and Jim Joque debate the merits of snowshoeing with one trekking pole or two.
A stretch of the imagination
We take for granted the lightweight nylon backpacking and camping tents we have today. But tents didn't change much from Thoreau's day until a Midwestern artist turned one of his art concepts into a lightweight portable shelter. Bill Moss designed and patented the first dome tent in 1955 and initiated the transformation of two industries in the process.
The no tread zone
It was during the prolonged excessive heat of June and early July this year when I realized how much I hate running on treadmills.
Spring is here
I grew up in an area of the world that had two seasons: green (for two months) and brown (for ten months). No seasons per se, just variations in temperature from almost warm to blazingly hot. In any case, the weather didn't affect what I did.
Prepare ye for the coming of spring
You're probably still looking out the window at patches of snow. Your canoe or kayak is a little dusty, having been in hibernation since last fall. And your paddle clothing is wadded up in a duffel bag. Hopefully was dry before you put it away in that manner.
Beauty & hardship in the wilderness
Each winter, the staff and members of Friends of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness strap on their boots, pull on their parkas and fleece masks and head north to YMCA Camp Menogyn for the annual Winter Sampler Weekend. This three-day adventure features skiing, snowshoeing and dogsledding along the Gunflint Trail at the edge of the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness.
Gliding through winter on Nordic skates
You know that joyous scene from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in which all the kids are skating on the local pond? It wasn't exactly like that for me. My skates were painful. My feet were cold. My feet were cramping. Although I grew up in Wisconsin and came to love winter sports, I just never picked up ice skating as a kid.
The difference a fat bike can make
Looking back at my 2012 training log, I see I biked more miles in November and December than I did in July. Serious cyclists, I realize, wouldn't be impressed by my pedaling less than 200 miles in each of those months. But it wasn't until July that my monthly biking miles outnumbered my running miles. Funny what a difference a serious running injury - and a new bike - makes.
Silent Sports - Seasonal Page
Discover snowshoeing
Snowshoeing isn't what it used to be. While snowmobiling, ice fishing, cross country and downhill skiing enjoy great popularity as winter recreational pursuits, snowshoeing, for years, was stuck with the reputation of being an activity you did because you had to. When you had to get somewhere and the snow was too deep for skis or snowmobiles, you strapped on snowshoes, usually giant wooden ones. Most snowshoes spent their lifetime hanging in storage or displayed over fireplace mantles, only seeing light after blizzards or at garage sales.
Low snow doesn't disappoint on the Door Peninsula
The peninsula was covered nicely in white, but the snow was shallow and the trails had only a half inch to three inches of snow cover. Switching from snowshoeing to hiking, we would not be disappointed. I still got a feel for the snowshoe trails we traversed in boots.
