The Cruisers Sport Series 258Z has a length overall of 25' (7.62 m), a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m) and a draft of 3'3.5" (1.05 m). Our test boat was powered by a 320-hp Mercury sterndrive.
Mission Statement
Sportboats on the lake fall into roughly three groups: 1) Average, run-of-the mill sportboats with no particularly impressive features; 2) The hot dog boats that are usually smaller and cheaper, with basic interiors, but with an over-blown engine that make the boats very fast; 3) Classy sportboats with room, many amenities, a deep-V and weight for comfort in a chop.
The CSS 258Z is aimed directly at a sub-set of the consumers in Group #3 -- one that wants all of the comfort, room, security, and handling safety that boats in this class usually have -- but who also want a boat that looks fast. Sort of like the BMW 7 Series.
The Cruisers Sport Series 258Z was designed specifically for this discerning, but small market.
Major Features of the CSS 258Z
• Limited ten-year hull and deck warranty
• Three year hull blister warranty
• One year stem-to-stern components warranty
• Sure-trac hull with hand laid fiberglass
• Composite seat cushions, bases and backs
• Custom, fog-resistant gauges
• Automatic discharge fire extinguisher
• Digital depth gauge
• Opening portlight in the head compartment
• 12 gallon (45.4 L) freshwater shower at the stern
• Convertible aft sundeck
• Extended, integral swim platform
• Low profile smoked windshield with stainless frame
• All Black hull
• Upgraded quilted upholstery appointments
The black 258Z with a low-profile tinted windscreen will look like the fastest thing on the lake, and with a WOT speed of 48.7 mph she may well be just that. But if she isn't, no matter, she has a boat load of features and comfort that the hot dogs don't have.
The Cruisers Sport Series 258Z has a length overall of 25' (7.62 m), a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m) and a draft of 3'3.5" (1.05 m). With an empty weight of 5,160 lbs. (2,341 kg), full fuel and two people onboard we had an estimated test weight of 5,988 lbs. (2,716 kg).
WOT Speed. With the 320-hp Mercury 377 MAG turning a Bravo III outdrive with 22.5" pitch propellers we reached a top speed of 48.7 mph at 4900 rpm. At that speed we were burning 24.6 gph giving us a range of 121 miles.
Best cruise came in at 2500 rpm and 23.3 mph. That speed reduced the fuel burn to 7.45 gph giving us a range of 191 miles and an endurance of 8 hours and 12 minutes while still holding back a 10% reserve.
The helm has a functional but uncluttered feel while still maintaining a high level of fit-and-finish. A Garmin GPS with a 4"(10.16 cm) display is protected from the sun by a soft-touch vinyl brow stitched with UV resistant Gore Tenera thread.
A premium Sony sound system features a USB and MP3 input but there needs to be a holder nearby for the MP3 player. Note the red horn button.
Here's another first… a lockable storage compartment at the helm. A screw-on hatch cover leads to a storage tube conveniently located next to the helm seat.
The engine hatch opens completely to allow access to the entire front of the engine. Notice the pedestal base just above the grab handle. Another available option offered with the 258 is a switchable thru-hull exhaust, to add the deep-throated racy sound to the go-fast looks of the Z package.
The 258 is certainly a sporty-handling boat and she's quick to respond to the helm. On acceleration, the bow comes up 15-degrees leaving no interruption to the sightlines of the horizon.
Trimming Tips. Once on plane, bring the trim up to the one quarter mark to get her into her proper cruising attitude. If too much trim is added then bow oscillation starts long before the prop will ventilate. Be sure to bring the trim back down before starting any maneuvers otherwise the prop will ventilate.
Turning. She leans 12-degrees into the turns and shows no sign of falling off the turn or chine walking. Even on our choppy day and in hard over turns she showed no tendency towards chine walking, and this is a situation that typically creates such characteristics.
She has plenty of power to easily transform into an excellent towboat. Her high freeboard and her narrow entry allows her to slice cleanly through waves and stay dry at the same time. When taking power off she settles back into the water stern first, again with no loss of visibility to the horizon.
The 258Z's narrow entry allows her to slice cleanly through the waves in comfort. Notice how there's so little spray being thrown and we remain at a level attitude.
Features Inspection
The Z package
The 258Z is, of course, built on the same hull and design as the standard 258. There are four major standard features that separate the two--
1) The low-profile smoked glass windshield with polished stainless steel frame,
2) The all-black hull with a mirror like finish,
3) The upgraded, quilted upholstery, and
4) A Jet black bow, Bimini and cockpit cover.
Still other options, such as the Captain's Call exhaust cut-outs that compliment the racy theme of the boat, are available.
The special dark, low winsdscreen on the 258Z did a good job of keeping the wind out of Captain Steve's face but the breeze did touch the top of his head.
Note the deep-V deadrise at the transom which should make this sportboat comfortable in choppy conditions at speed. We would have the trailer painted black.
The stern seat in the cockpit which is over the engine is wide, deep and comfortable.
The Bow
The bow is laid out with V-shaped seating surrounding a rounded footwell in the center. There's storage underneath the seats accessed by lifting the seat cushions on articulating hinges towards the rear. An optional side mount pedestal table ($565) is available with the pedestal mounting to the forward end of the footwell.
Standard flip up armrests to the inboard sides, along with padded bolsters to the outboard side add to the comfort level.
Storage. For storage, a massive in-deck storage compartment is in the center of the walkthrough, and a second is just ahead between bow seats. Both of these compartments are lockable.
Bow By the Numbers. For measurements at the bow, the bulwarks measure 16" (40.64 cm) to the top of the caprail, 18" (45.72 cm) to the top of the stainless steel grab rails. The bolsters measure 6'5" (1.99 m) across, the seat tops started at 21"(53.34 cm) across and widened to 24"(61 cm) moving forward. The top of the table is 30"(76.2 cm) off the deck.
The bow seating includes rather large armrests to one side and padded bolsters to the other.
The pedestal table keeps drinks and food within easy reach, even in the chaise lounge position.
Storage under the bow seats are accessed by lifting the cushions. Notice the articulating hinges and the size of the foot well.
An optional fiberglass air dam ($420) is formed by bringing out a bi-fold door from the port side bulwarks.
The helm storage compartment is accessed through a tall door to the starboard side of the cockpit walkthrough. The door is finished on both sides, gasketed against vibration and includes a lift type of latch rather than a turn type of latch for easy closures. A courtesy light can be seen at the bottom.
Dual sole storage compartment hatches are located in both the walkthrough and in the deck between the bow seats. This is an ingenious use of space and the first we've seen taking such good advantage of this available space. Both of these compartments are lockable.
The Cockpit
The cockpit goes beyond the typical sportboat seating arrangement. Where we usually see dual bucket seats and a bench seat across the stern here, Cruisers went with L-shaped seating across the stern, adding a bit more functionality and taking a little more advantage of the available space.
A cooler stores under the port seat. Steps leading to the transom walkthrough are to starboard. A sink/refreshment center is just to the port side and the port console is occupied by a head compartment. A Porta Potti is available for $190, or $565 with deck pump-out.
Both the observer seat and the helm seat swivels around to face the crowd in the cockpit. The helm seat can be raised as standard, and the companion seat has the adjustable height option for $210.
The helm is elegant in its simplicity and features a high-end Italian leather wrapped steering wheel mounted to a tilt base. One unusual, but highly welcome, feature is the lockable storage compartment to the right side of the helm. This is a handy place to lock up a wallet or cell phone.
Cockpit By the Numbers. Cockpit measurements show 31"(78.74 cm) of cockpit depth providing safety for all onboard. Seats measure 40"(101.6 cm) across.
The head compartment is cramped but functional nonetheless. Options include a Porta-Potti with deck pump out and a solid surface countertop. A freshwater sink is located just outside the compartment, as well as inside.
The sink features a pullout sprayer and there's an opening portlight for ventilation. A solid surface counter top is available for $460.
Steps leading to the transom walkthrough are to starboard. The seat just forward of the step has storage underneath.
A built-in cooler is located under the step to the transom walkthrough. It's self-draining overboard.
Cooler storage is under the port side seat and is held in place with a raised lip that includes stainless drink holders.
The aft seat easily converts from a forward facing cockpit seat to a sun pad simply by flipping the seatback forward. This makes for a huge sunning area that even incorporates the wraparound seat to port.
The Stern
The stern includes aft facing seating, a molded swim platform and an added extended platform included as standard. This makes not only for a comfortable gathering area, but a welcome place to sit while watching the kids swimming off the stern. The re-boarding ladder is off to the starboard side, well clear of any sharp edges under the platform. An optional freshwater shower ($190) and stereo remote ($205) round out the features.
Stern Platform Done Right. Perhaps most important, the extended stern platform goes beyond the lower unit when it is in the down position, which means that people sliding of the platform will not hit their feet on sterndrive metal. Also, the sides of the platform are angled in so that when taking off from a dock the stern quarter does not hit the dock. The 258 is one of the few sportboats so designed.
A simulated teak wood or gray wood vinyl is available for the swim platform for $750.
The aft facing seat not only makes a comfortable spot to watch the kids but it serves as a staging area for putting boards on.
An optional stereo remote is located right next to the courtesy light in front of the step to the cockpit walkthrough.
The engine hatch opens completely to allow access to the entire front of the engine. Notice the pedestal base just above the grab handle. Another available option offered with the 258 is switchable thru-hull exhaust, to add the sexy sound to the upgraded looks of the Z package.
The metal motor mounts that are through bolted to the fiberglass stringers. Note the clean white surface of the bilge and the room in front of the engine.
The Cruisers Sport Series line has certainly come into its own in the last few years. They all have the fit-and-finish as well as the quality build of the company's largest sport yachts and that's a significant piece of information right there. Cruisers determined long ago that it was easier to build the same quality into all of its boats rather than have some of its shipwrights produce lower quality in a smaller, less expensive vessel. That is a prime factor separating the Cruisers Sport Series boats from others in class.
As for the 258Z, by offering the Z class options, Cruisers has taken a classy and well-handling boat and given it a healthy dose of visual testosterone. And the fact that she isso easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either.

Natalie Portman, Why So Serious?
On the cover of Elle UK's November issue she's as glum as glum gets, despite the fact that she's wearing head-to-toe Versace — not to mention the fact that she was interviewed for the interior story by our man crush Tom Hiddleston. Last we checked, it's darn near impossible to not have a giant childish grin when you're around that guy. We get that constantly making the press rounds while trying to keep up with your toddler is exhausting, but c'mon girl it's Tom Hiddleston!
She brightened up a smidge for her turn with Marie Claire, but she still has a general air of unease. As the Fug Girls pointed out, it could be due to her consternation about the ultra-skimpy getup they have her in, but we're not hedging our bets just yet. Maybe Portman is just turning over a new, serious leaf, with no time for frivolities like smizing.

Maasai Mara National Reserve is a continuation of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
The Mara is mostly an open savannah, with patches of bush and woodland.
When I visited the Mara in the beginning of 2010, we experienced both hot weather with a scorching sun, as well as rain, hail, thunder and lightning. Quite peculiar, since December to February is the hot dry season in Kenya. However, weather patterns have changed and rainy and dry seasons aren't that distinct anymore.
At the Mara, I saw my first lion! Not just one, but a pride of 22 lions! There were 4 grown males, 4 grown females, 7 young 2-year old males and 7 cubs.
The pride had caught 2 buffalos! That's quite extraordinary, cause buffalos are large animals and don't go down that easy.
Follow my adventure in The Mara through this video. Meet lions, Topis, Hippos, GIraffes and also the Maasai Warriors.

Road Trip! Destination: Reading area
Reading is in Eastern Pennsylvania, but it carries that directional adjective a bit far.
Sitting high atop nearby Mt. Penn is The Pagoda, a seven-story tower that seems more fitting for a city in the Far East than the seat of Berks County. It was meant to be a resort when it was completed in 1908, but those plans fell through. Since 1911, it has been owned by the city, which has maintained it as a tourist attraction.
Reading was founded in 1743 by Richard and Thomas Penn, sons of William, and became a center of the iron industry. That role led to canals that connected it to Philadelphia and Harrisburg. It also led to the Reading Railroad, best known as one of the properties in Monopoly.
Crystal Seitz, president of the Greater Reading Convention and Visitors Bureau, calls the town of 88,000 a "big city in a small place." Professional sports, arts venues and outdoor activities provide a great variety, she says, "but you can get everywhere in 15 minutes."
Bob Karlovits is a staff writer for Trib Total Media. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 412-320-7852.
Telling the whole story
History is a local story, but it always is connected to the overall tale.
The Berks History Center (610-375-4375 or www.berkshistory.org) clearly takes that approach in its work. Naturally, it tells the story of this area and its role in industrialization and as a stop in the Underground Railroad. But it also takes a broader look, as in its current exhibit "From 'I Have a Dream' to 'I Want to Hold Your Hand'," a look at how events of 1963 changed the direction of the world.
The surrounding area is filled with significant historic sites such as the Conrad Weiser Homestead (610-589-2934 or www.conradweiserhomestead.org), home of one of the most important figures in the shaping of American Indian policy in Pennsylvania.
It also is the site of the Daniel Boone Homestead (610-582-4900 or www.danielboonehomestead.org) near the birthplace of the famous pioneer. A short drive away is the Ephrata Cloister (717-733-6600 or www.ephratacloister.org), site of a congregation of mystical German settlers hoping to approach life in a pious way.
An artsy approach
Filled with galleries and concert sites, Reading is a city that is happy to deal with the arts.
The GoggleWorks Center for the Arts (610-374-4600 or www.goggleworks.org) is an interactive, comprehensive site that is the home of displays, a wood shop, music studios, classes and films. There is never a fee to get in, and every second Sunday an open house is offered to guide the uninitiated.
The Berks County Arts Council (610-898-1930 or www.berksarts.org) promotes and creates arts opportunities from GoggleWorks. The council is behind a concert series, the Pagoda Awards for service to the arts and the Boscov's Berks Jazz Festival (800-653-8000 or www.berksjazzfest.com), an event of growing renown that will be held March 28 to April 6.
Outdoors abounds
In the air, in the water and on the ground, outdoor activities abound in the Reading area.
The Hawk Mountain Sanctuary (610-756-6961 or www.hawkmountain.org ) is a hilly, forested area filled with trails and observation spots to observe the behavior and, at regular times during the year, the migration of raptors.
The Schuylkill River in the Reading area is a pleasant recreation site for a canoe or kayak trip. It is too small for bigger craft, so it provides a quiet way to see the town. The Schuylkill River National State Heritage Area group (484-945-0200 or www.schuylkillriver.org) can provide hints on where to visit and how to get there.
The wilds of the area around Reading also are part of the 229-mile stretch through Pennsylvania of the Appalachian Trail (717-258-5771 or www.appalachiantrail.org).
Finding out what's down under
An inside view of nature is provided at Crystal Cave near Kutztown, which has been a tourist spot since 1871 when William Merkel discovered it. He was blasting areas on his family's farm for limestone when he noticed a large crack. He and a friend discovered a cave that dropped 80 feet and was about 500 feet in length. It is filled with stalactites (the ones that hang from the top) and stalagmites, highly polished stone and crystals that — to their disappointment — weren't diamonds.
Details: 610-683-6765 or www.crystalcavepa.com.
The game's the thing
Minor-league sports are a major offering in Reading.
The Reading Fightin' Phils, an Eastern League farm team of the Philadelphia Phillies (please hold down the catcalls), provide a look at players in development in addition to some who have been sent down to nurse an injury or focus on skills. The team opens its season April 3 in the cozy, 9,000-seat FirstEnergy Stadium.
Details: 610-375-8469 or www.readingfightins.com.
But if you can't wait that long for some action, the Reading Royals hockey team will provide a sports fix. The winners of the 2013 Kelly Cup of the ECHL — formerly the East Coast Hockey League — play in Santander Stadium, downtown. They are an affiliate of the Washington Capitals in the NHL and the Hershey Bears of the AHL.
Details: 610-898-7825 or www.royalshockey.com.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Roar are in the majors — the Major Indoor Soccer League. Fans from the glory years of the Pittsburgh Spirit will feel right at home in games, also at the Santander.
Details: 484-706-9578 or www.pennroar.com
Places to settle back
Reading has its share of chain hotels and motels, beds-and-breakfasts and even a recreational vehicle court here and there.
But the Abraham Lincoln — a Wyndham Hotel (610-372-3700 or www.wyndham.com) stands out because of its downtown location and its top-level nature. All of its 104 rooms overlook the skyline of the city and the surrounding hills. The executive suites have two-person whirlpool tubs. For history lovers, it was the site of the death of John Philip Sousa in 1932.
Outside the city, in nearby Macungie, the Bear Creek Mountain Resort & Conference Center (866-754-2822 or www.bcmountainresort.com) is spread over 300 acres and offers biking, hiking, golf, disc golf, boating and the full array of winter sports.
A different kind of sign
Reading has its share of galleries and venues, but some of its best art is spread throughout the countryside.
Hex signs on barns are an art form of the Pennsylvania Dutch — not to be confused with the Amish. The circular, patterned designs indicate wishes and philosophy of the owners of the barns. Interpreting the meanings of the symbols is both a challenge and some fun.
The Reading visitors office has a hex sign map that takes visitors to some of the best sites.

Attention: News Editor
For Immediate Release
January 22, 2013
Jay Sweeney, 570-587-3603, firstname.lastname@example.com
Carl Romanelli, 570-239-3914, firstname.lastname@example.com
David Ochmanowicz, Jr., email@example.com
The Green Party of Pennsylvania (GPPA) has endorsed regional protests of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) being planned for Earth Day, April 22, 2013. The endorsement, made by GPPA at its January 12th quarterly meeting in York, PA, underscores the growing recognition that the DEP needs to be called to public account for its failure to protect the environment and its support, instead, of assaults on our environment by governmental and corporate interests, most egregious being the surrender of the state to Marcellus Shale natural gas interests.
Chris Robinson, organizer of the Earth Day protest and delegate to the January 12th meeting from the Green Party of Philadelphia, said, "We have been fortunate to have the endorsement of Food and Water Watch and Protecting Our Waters. We welcome the endorsement of GPPA."
The Earth Day protest endorsement and other matters discussed at the January 12th GPPA meeting are part of a strategy of activism and involvement that take the Green Party far beyond the fielding of candidates. Of particular force is GPPA's continuing efforts for fair ballot access through the legislative process and the courts.
"The Pennsylvania Green Party is demanding action in the Pennsylvania Senate regarding the Voter Choice Act. Senators owe Pennsylvanians hearings on alternatives to the current, unconstitutional ballot scheme imposed on third parties. The VCA has stalled in committee during the previous two sessions of the legislature, and we are determined to not see that happen again this year. In addition we have unfinished business in our federal suit (Constitution Party, v. Aichele, Case Number 5:12-cv-02726) regarding the same. So ballot access continues to be a rallying point for our party," advised Carl Romanelli, 2012 GPPA Chair.
Bob Small, Delaware County, founding member of PaBAC, added, "We need everyone's help to meet with their area Legislators, especially those on the State Senate Government Committee, through which the Voters Choice Act, Bill Number 195, must pass. Please contact the Pa Ballot Access Committee so that we can coordinate joint meetings (with Independents and Libertarians, etc), so that the VCA will not be considered just a 'Green' issue."
The January 12th meeting also focused on organizational matters. Steve Baker of York was honored, upon his retirement, for his years of service to the party and internal elections were held.
GPPA Delegates elected a new seven-person Steering Committee for the coming year, with Jay Sweeney of Wyoming County as Chair, David Ochmanowicz Jr. of Bucks County as Secretary, and Vivek Ananthan of Philadelphia as Treasurer. Four At-Large Members were elected: Carl Romanelli of Luzerne County, Emily Cook of Montgomery County, Glenn Davis and Hillary Kane, both of Philadelphia. They bring renewed vitality to the Green Party of Pennsylvania.
Newly elected Chair Jay Sweeney of Wyoming County: "I look forward to working with local chairs to strengthen and grow our party. We need to do everything from holding voter registration drives to working with the contacts we developed in the Stein/Honkala presidential campaign. We will continue to work to guarantee free and fair elections, promote single payer healthcare for all, demand justice for those damaged by natural gas drilling and natural disaster relief. We will continue to call for a ban on hydrofracking to extract natural gas. Our neighbors to the north in New York are right to act to criminalize fracking. It's criminally insane!"
Emily Cook of Montgomery County: "I am honored to be able to serve on the Steering Committee for the Green Party of Pennsylvania, and look forward to working on issues concerning the Commonwealth such as poverty and the negative consequences of fracking."
Glenn Davis of Philadelphia: "First I would like to thank everyone for this opportunity to serve on this committee. I think it is time to take the Green Party to the next level and I am focused on growing the Greens locally as well as statewide."
In addition, delegates to the Green Party of the United States were elected to serve on the National Committee. Vivek Ananthan, Glenn Davis and Robert Piemme of Pittsburgh will serve as delegates. Hillary Kane, James Rountry of York and Jessica Ashman of Reading will serve as alternates.
The Green Party of Pennsylvania is an independent political party that stands in opposition to the two corporate parties. The Green Party of Pennsylvania stands for grassroots democracy, social justice, nonviolence, and ecological wisdom. For more information about the Green Party, please contact 888-721-4733.

Is there a feudal hierarchy amongst regulatory immune cells? More than just Tregs
Centre for Rheumatology Research, University College London, Department of Medicine, Cleveland Street, W1 4JF, UK
Arthritis Research & Therapy 2009, 11:237 doi:10.1186/ar2752Published: 4 August 2009
Nature has provided the developing immune system with several checkpoints important for the maintenance of tolerance and the prevention of autoimmunity. The regulatory mechanisms operating in the periphery of the system are mediated by subsets of regulatory cells, now considered principal contributors to peripheral tolerance. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have received titanic interest in the past decade, placing them at the centre of immuno-suppressive reactions. However, it has become clearer that other immune suppressive cells inhibit auto-reactivity as effectively as Tregs. The function of Tregs and other regulatory cells in rheumatoid arthritis will be discussed in this review.

How did Parise even get credited with that goal, the replays appeared to show it hitting Salvador. Why wasn't it changed? Why is our official scorer so quick to credit Parise?
Peeve#2, no excuse why our PA can't announce who scored/assisted on the game winning OT goal BEFORE the 3 Stars. After one replay, it was clear on the game winner who scored & who assisted.
SWEEP the rest of the homestand!! LGD!

I applauded when Parise scored, just for the fact that everyone is boo'ing him because he decided to live the life he wants and not the life the fans want him to live.
LOL surely you're just fishing now

This is now making the rounds on the net. This idiot and his buddy go to the game last night and sit in sec 123 and gets booed. He then posts a drama-filled tirade on Reddit with a video showing how awful Devils fans are. Problem is he has already been called out for only telling half the story as he was just as equally guilty in it as well. There is a picture that for some reason I cannot post of the said idiot and his friend making jestures at the Devils fans including one that is meant to say that they think NJ is the armpit of America.
Stay classy Parise defenders

As for last night's game, we played great. We made a pretty damn good team's offense virtually non-existent.
I booed the hell out of Parise, I got it out of my system, but I'm not really mad enough at him (anymore) to do it again. He got this game out of the way and I think many of us will probably not boo next time. He faced the music like a champ and that smirk of his at the end of the game after the OT goal got me a wee bit sentimental.
+1 on the bolded part. Those were my feelings exactly.
IMO, last night he got what was coming to him. ... I imagine there will be a vocal contingent of fans who will still boo him next time and continue to hate on him, but not me.

But with the unexpected return of Claude, Edgar's paternal uncle, turmoil consumes the Sawtelles' once peaceful home. When Edgar's father dies suddenly, Claude insinuates himself into the life of the farm – and into Edgar's mother's affections." Grief-stricken and bewildered, Edgar tries to prove Claude played a role in his father's death, but his plan backfires – spectacularly.

The River West's Snake River Handwarmer offers
- one piece design- adjustable belt for custom fit- 2 snap hooks (easily attaches to D-rings)- keep hand warm & dry even in extreme conditions- one piece design- adjustable belt for custom fit- 2 snap hooks (easily attaches to D-rings)- keep hand warm & dry even in extreme conditions
Advanage Max-4s WATERPROOF
When Rivers West says waterproof, They mean waterproof. And, not just waterproof for a certain period of time. Guaranteed!!!
Because the H2P System cuts 100% of the wind, it keeps you warmer with fewer layers, helping you defy Mother Nature every chance you get.
Because the H2P System is a fleece-lined fabric, each garment is self-insulating (without the need to sew in bulky insulation). Although we wont give a specific temperature range (individual comfort zones vary from person to person), we do guarantee that you will eliminate at least one under layer if you wear our hunting gear. This creates less bulk, more mobility, and a better hunt.
H2P is simply one durable fabric. H2P will go through briars, thorns, and even barbed wire (be careful of razor wire though) without so much as a scratch.
Because the H2P System combines warmth & insulation in a 100% waterproof / windproof garment, you now only have one jacket to worry about instead of 2 or 3. Use one jacket when its cold and windy. If it happens to rain, dont worry its also 100% waterproof. We figure youve got enough to carry already, without worrying about packing extra coats. With an average jacket weight of 2.2 lbs., you barely notice the weight. And thats exactly how we want it.
Unlike most waterproof fabrics, the H2P System offers extraordinary stretchability. At 40 lbs. of tension, H2P stretches an incredible 6 inches. In practical terms, this provides the wearer with more comfort and mobility
Because we use a soft fleece exterior, H2P is extremely quiet. But heres the kicker its just as quiet at 50 degrees as it is below zero. Most waterproof fabrics get as noisy when the temperature drops
but not H2P

Bennett learning from Penguins' veterans
Penguins/NHL Videos
SUNRISE, Fla. — It remains to be seen whether rookie Beau Bennett will make an impact for the Penguins during the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The lessons he is learning, though, figure to pay off well into the future.
Bennett, the precocious winger who produced three points in the Penguins' 3-0 southern road trip, is surrounded by veterans who have willingly shown him the ropes.
"I'm not the kind of guy who says a lot," Bennett said. "I just try to watch and learn. I mean, look around at all these guys. You can learn a lot."
The Penguins already had a number of respected veterans when Bennett broke into the league earlier this season.
Now, they are oozing with wise, experienced players. Bennett believes their presence will expedite his NHL learning curve and make him a better person off the ice.
"The biggest thing is just how all the guys on this team are just such good people," Bennett said. "Just the way they handle themselves off the ice, it's really impressive. You learn how to be a professional pretty quickly."
When it was mentioned that a young player could learn much from recently acquired veterans like Jarome Iginla and Brenden Morrow — to say nothing of 30-something Stanley Cup champions like Chris Kunitz, Pascal Dupuis, Matt Cooke, Craig Adams, Brooks Orpik and Mark Eaton — coach Dan Bylsma agreed that Bennett's environment couldn't be much better.
"I think it's beneficial for him to be surrounded by guys like that," Bylsma said. "There are a lot of experienced guys, character guys. It's an impressive group in there."
And the veterans are impressed with the rookie.
Starting in the team's abbreviated training camp, many of the older Penguins have been blown away not only by Bennett's skill level but also by the tenacity in his game. The knock on Bennett when he was drafted in 2010 was that he wasn't especially physical or strong on the boards.
Those opinions suddenly have changed.
"He has been physical in his recent games," Bylsma said. "He was one of our most physical guys in the Carolina game."
The southern road trip, in fact, was Bennett's best showing during his brief NHL career. Along with being physical in Raleigh, he scored the game-tying goal of an eventual 5-3 victory that clinched the Atlantic Division title.
He was even better a few nights later in Florida, setting up the Penguins' first two goals while nearly scoring a couple of his own.
"There are a lot of guys who play the game the right way in this locker room," Morrow said.
Bennett certainly has adapted his style, as evidenced by how he threw his body into a number of Panthers on Saturday. Playing limited minutes and often on the fourth line, Bennett knows his future role will probably be different. But he's learning how to play playoff-style hockey with some of the game's most respected veterans.
"I'm growing," he said. "I'm learning the game."
NOTE: The Penguins did not practice Sunday, choosing instead to spend Saturday night in Florida before returning home Sunday. They next play at home Wednesday against Montreal.

|A randomized trial of inhaled nitric oxide to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12770854 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Inhalation of nitric oxide (NO) has been advocated as a method to prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation. We enrolled 84 patients into a concealed, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effect of inhaled NO (20 ppm NO or nitrogen) initiated 10 minutes after reperfusion on outcomes after lung transplantation. The groups (n = 42) were balanced with respect to age, sex, lung disease, procedure, and total ischemic times. PaO2/FIO2 ratios were similar on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) (NO 361 +/- 134; control patients 357 +/- 132), and over the duration of the study. There were no differences in hemodynamics between the two groups. Severe reperfusion injury (PaO2/FIO2 < 150) was present at the time of admission to the ICU in 14.6% NO patients versus 9.5% of control patients (p = 0.48). The groups had similar median times to first successful trial of unassisted breathing (25 vs. 27 hours; p = 0.76), successful extubation (32 vs. 34 hours; p = 0.65), ICU discharge (3.0 days for both groups), and hospital discharge (27 vs. 29 days; p = 0.563). Five NO versus six control patients died during their hospital stay. Adjusting for age, sex, lung disease etiology, presence of pulmonary hypertension, and total ischemic time did not alter these results. In conclusion, we did not detect a significant effect of inhaled NO administered 10 minutes after reperfusion on physiologic variables or outcomes in lung transplant patients.

VANCOUVER, B.C. -- After a 4-3 loss on home ice to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday afternoon some felt the Blackhawks season was over, but not center Ryan Johnson.
Johnson had the feeling a meeting with his former mates, the Vancouver Canucks, was a certainty this spring. Prior to joining the Canucks, the Thunder Bay, Ont., native spent three seasons with the St. Louis Blues.
In his first season with the Canucks, the 2008-09 season, Johnson and his new teammates swept the Blues in their first-round matchup.
In the offseason Johnson joined the Blackhawks as a free agent after spending two injury-plagued seasons with the Canucks.
"I had a feeling about a month ago that this was going to happen," Johnson said. "I just had that feeling. When I came to Vancouver from St. Louis, I had this feeling I was going to play St. Louis in the first round, and it happened.
"I've kind of been preparing for it the last few weeks. Obviously it is an emotional deal coming back to a place where you played and against friends."
It wasn't until around 8:30 p.m. ET when the final buzzer sounded on the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild game in St. Paul, Minn., which the Stars lost 5-3 to the Wild.
The Stars' loss of course paved the way for the Blackhawks to sneak in as the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
"It was a long day, early game for us, it felt like the season was over and then things turned around in the afternoon and we're back in it," forward Patrick Sharp said. "It's a great feeling, a great accomplishment to be in the playoffs -- we're excited about it and can't wait to get it started."
With Game 1 now just hours away, Sharp admits it's time to make use of this second opportunity.
"We're focused on what we need to do," he said. "We got to play a good, patient game here to start things off. It's going to be loud, it's going to be fast, and we're excited about it."
In Johnson's mind this is what the playoffs are all about.
"It's exciting. I think it's a great thing for these two teams to meet for a third time and the fans love it," he said. "There should be a lot of energy and it should be a blast."

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone thus inaugurated the annual conference-pilgrimage sponsored by the Congregation for Bishops and the Regina Apostolorum university for newly ordained prelates.
The cardinal gave the bishops this challenge: "Christian people need to see credible witnesses and be guided by holy pastors," who plant the "love of God in everyone who has been entrusted to their care."
The secretary of state also assured the bishops of the "greeting and encouragement of Benedict XVI."
He then went on to cite some of the passages from a homily that the Pope gave last Saturday when he ordained five bishops. On that occasion, the Holy Father emphasized virtues such as fidelity, prudence and goodness.
Referring to fidelity, Cardinal Bertone affirmed that "the Church is not ours, but His, the Church of God." Consequently, the cardinal continued, a bishop cannot seek power or prestige, working for himself and not the community.
Speaking of prudence, the cardinal recalled that the Pope said this virtue is not about being astute, but rather about being committed to the truth. "[Truth], thanks to prudence, becomes the criteria for our activity," he said.
Finally, mentioning the virtue of goodness, Cardinal Bertone said it means to "cultivate a profound orientation toward God, the only one who is good, in fact, Good par excellence."
The cardinal expressed his hope that the bishops would be "holy as the Cure d'Ars was holy, that is, living your ministry according to the heart of Christ and the maternal heart of Mary."

LAS CRUCES — Beetle larvae, it turns out, taste "like meat" when they are sautéed in peanut oil.
That was just one part of what 7-year-old Ezekiel Villa learned Monday morning as he and classmates strolled through the Livestock Judging Pavilion at New Mexico State University.
For a few hours Monday that building housed a live insect zoo, perhaps the most popular aspects of the Insect Expo, a free educational event organized by the Southwestern branch of the Entomological Society of America.
Aside from discovering some culinary qualities of bugs and their nutrition data — flies, apparently, are high in protein and low in fat — the students had the opportunity to touch large, tropical insects.
Breanna Fulton, 7, was among several kids that held a Malaysian jungle nymph, a type of walking stick that looks more like a fat leaf.
"It's really cool. The claws kind of tickle," said Breanna, a Jornada Elementary School student who was also impressed to learn that butterflies stay in a chrysalis stage for two weeks.
Other children marveled at a giant African millipede, large scorpions in jars and a display of pinned beetles, some the size of a computer mouse.
Insect Expos, such as the one Monday morning, kick off the annual meeting of the Southwestern branch of the Entomological Society of America.
The Oklahoma State University entomologist who organizes the Insect Expos, Dr. Andrine Shufran, said such events are the group's "gift" to the community.
Monday marked the first time since 1999 that the Entomological Society of America's Insect Expo came to Las Cruces.
Shufran said 101 volunteers helped guide 1,225 elementary-age children from 12 local schools though the many sites at three prominent NMSU buildings.
Many of them started at Skeen Hall, where they had the chance to make insect art. They could use pipe cleaners and paper. Or they could be a bit more adventurous, allowing paint-dipped maggots to color construction paper as they wriggled across the page.
Shara Satterfield's third-grade class from Sonoma Elementary finished their day at the "Roach Races," where they watched Madagascar hissing cockroaches scurry for the title.
Lauren Ward, a master's student from Texas A&M, taught the children about the large roaches, describing them as harmless as one crawled to the tip of her index finger.
She asked the class if they all loved insects yet.
"Yes!" most of the students shouted.
Even roaches, Ward asked?
"No!," they said.
Satterfield laughed.
"They have fun," she said of her students. "Even my girly-girls are finally getting into it."

Check Your Oil!
When my parents were visiting recently, I reluctantly told them over a Saturday morning pancake breakfast that I hadn't had my car's oil changed since June when I last saw them. I couldn't articulate a good reason why I hadn't. Well, I've just been busy. I don't know where to go to get my oil changed in Spokane. My car's mileage isn't that far above the marker for when I should have had it changed.
Unfortunately, my parents are too smart for excuses. As soon as the breakfast dishes were in the dishwasher, we drove to a local car shop where my car had had some repair work the year before. When we discovered the shop wasn't open on Saturdays, my parents made me promise that I would call and make an appointment, which I did a week and a half later.
After work one day this week, I drove to the shop and feigned confidence as I told them what work I wanted on my car: "I'd like an oil change and a general checkup before the winter." (more…)
Speak Up for Marriage
"Congratulations! But, I gotta tell you, marriage is really hard." This was the response my friend gave me when I told her I was getting married. My brother responded to the news with a grim, "Wow, are you sure you want to get married?" In an attempt to make sure I was taking my wedding seriously, my well-meaning friends and family overly prepared me for the trials of marriage. Meanwhile, on the other side of my wedding day, the joy I've experienced in my relationship has caught me almost off guard.
In the last year you've probably read or seen something in the news about marriage: a new study showing a decrease in the marriage rate, a movie glorifying an affair, a splashy celebrity divorce. Maybe it's my pessimism talking, but most of the stuff I've seen on marriage hasn't been positive. By the time I was approaching my own wedding, all of the talk and images surrounding marriage left me terrified and depressed. How could anyone get married and stay married, and why would they want to? Going into premarital counseling, I had this idea that marriage was going to be hard, horrible at times, and the biggest trial of my life, and I know I didn't come up with those thoughts (more…)
The Prophesying Dinner Guest
Before coming to Olive Tree, I was an event planner. As such, I picked out flowers, spent far too long debating over menus, and had to deal with peoples' lack of ability to RSVP. But I also acted as hostess, standing in front of large groups of people to welcome them to the event and make announcements. I spoke in front of people around 15 times a week. Occasionally people attending the event would introduce themselves to me and we'd exchange pleasantries, but for the most part I existed outside the event. However, there was one interaction with a guest that left a mark on me.
At a dinner I was hosting, I had just finished making my announcements and returned to my secluded table in the corner when a gentleman approached me. He had a serious expression on his face (more…)
Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to all you men who have been blessed with children! Fatherhood is an amazing gift: "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward" (Ps. 127:3).
I have two little redheaded boys, Gabriel (4) and Asher (6 mo.), that I have the wonderful blessing and responsibility of raising. They continually bring me joy and happiness!
For those who are fathers, Father's Day is a day where you are celebrated. And while I wish you blessings, I also want to encourage and exhort you, spurring you on to love and good deeds as a father. Fatherhood is a weighty calling. You aren't just raising a pet or a plant. You are raising a child who bears the image of God and has a soul that will never die. No pressure!
As fathers we are called to do for our families what Christ did for the church (Eph. 5-6). We are called to love sacrificially so that they may flourish. We are to be a sanctifying presence in their lives, which means helping them combat sin and grow in righteousness. We are to be consistently washing them with the Word of God (which means we need to know it well), and bringing them up "in the discipline and instruction of the Lord".
The only way we can do this is through Christ. Fathers should point to Christ, who is the only way to the one, true Father. When we are faithful fathers, by God's grace, our children will be "like arrows in the hand of a warrior," and we "shall not be put to shame" (Ps. 127:4-5).
Happy Father's Day! May God richly bless you with his grace as you lead your family by faith!

Memorial Day
I found myself feeling a little giddy this past week, excited about my three-day weekend: catching up on sleep, going to the beach, firing up the barbeque. I'm ashamed to admit that never once did the reason for my extended weekend come to mind. So today, as many of us in America have an extra day to sleep in and relax, I hope that you will take a moment to reflect on Memorial Day. I know many people will visit gravesides of loved ones lost, and my heart goes out to you and to all of the brave men and women who serve and protect our country. I am truly thankful for you. I leave you with this thought from John Piper:
"This is a weekend for all Americans to give thanks for what God has given us through the sacrifice of all the men and women who have died for our country. However great the faults of our government and whatever our dissatisfactions, we have much to be grateful for. " -From Memorial Day 2008
Just Give Me Jesus
To know the stories behind the authors of devotionals like Anne Graham Lotz' Just Give Me Jesus gives new depth of meaning to the written work. Today, we take a peek into the life of one of the daughters of the world's most famous evangelist, Billy Graham.
Anne Graham Lotz, Billy Graham's second daughter, is a powerful force for God's Kingdom in her own right and was even called "the best preacher in the family" by her father. But Anne's road to ministry was an uphill battle. She married early and had her first child at age 20. Several years later, Anne was struggling with depression as she cared for three small children and wrestled with her role as a stay-at-home mother. She wanted an opportunity to serve the Lord outside the home.
In 1975, God revealed an opportunity for Anne to lead a Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) group at her church in Raleigh, North Carolina. Though some disapproved of her choice, it quickly became clear, when the audience numbered 300 and counting, that Anne had found her niche.
After 12 years of ministry with BSF, Anne began to receive speaking requests both nationally and internationally and was shaped by other women in ministry, including Audrey Wetherell Johnson, the founder of BSF. Since then, Anne has started a non-profit called AnGeL Ministries, formed from her initials AGL, whose mission is to "give out messages of biblical exposition so that God's Word is personal and relevant to ordinary people." Anne's ministry includes numerous speaking engagements and writing devotional books. Olive Tree has four of Anne's books, including The Vision of His Glory, Just Give Me Jesus, Heaven: My Father's House, and God's Story, which will be on sale at OliveTree.com later this week in honor of Mother's Day.
In Just Give Me Jesus, Anne longs for her readers to know God and reflects on her own life-long journey to know Christ:
"I am growing in my knowledge of God, and I say without hesitation or qualification that knowing God is my joy and reason for living. He is…
the Wind beneath my wings,
the Treasure that I seek,
the Foundation on which I build,
the Song in my heart,
the Object of my desire,
the Breath of my life—
He is my All in all!"
Encouraged by Anne's example, may Jesus also be our all in all!

In this definitive autobiography, Rich DeVos reflects on work, faith, family, and the core values he's held onto from his humble, Christian upbringing through his enormous success as cofounder of one of the world's largest businesses: Amway.
A prominent businessman, self-made billionaire, philanthropist, worldwide speaker, bestselling author, family man, and devout Christian—few people embody the heart of the American entrepreneurial spirit as plainly as Rich DeVos. He not only helped create one of the world's biggest companies—Amway—but he did it from the ground up, with little but his deep faith in God to guide his decisions and keep his hopes alive. Now, following on the success of DeVos's bestselling books about the world of business, he reveals his personal story for the first time ever. Simply Rich is a candid telling of his journey from rags to riches, from a small start-up business to giant success, and from doubts to dreams come true.
Born to poor Dutch immigrants in rural Michigan during the Depression, DeVos learned early on the importance of leadership as well as partnership. He was deeply influenced by his grandfather, father, and teachers who taught him valuable lessons. Among them were the key principles that would come to guide his entire life: faith, optimism, and perseverance. While still in school, he befriended his classmate and neighbor, Jay Van Andel, who eventually became his business partner. A lasting friendship sustained their fledgling business, which grew into the international success of Amway. In addition to stories of his business success, DeVos shares candidly about his marriage and family, his experiences as a motivational speaker and author, his ownership of the NBA basketball team Orlando Magic, and his philanthropic, religious, and political endeavors.
Inspiring, fascinating, and full of heart, Simply Rich is the astonishing rags-to-riches story that few can tell. Through his amazing accomplishments as both a businessman and faithful, generous soul, DeVos reveals the true meaning of success.

Rare UFO Cloud Covered Russian Mountain
The residents around Mount Klyuchevskaya Sopka in Russia were amazed when they looked up to the sky and witnessed a flying saucer-like object hanging in the air around the peak of the mountain. But UFO enthusiasts have to restrain their desire to investigate the event because there is no UFO, only a quirky set of cloud.
The rare could formation, formally known as Lenticular cloud, appeared on the mountain was detected by the radar of UFO enthusiasts in Russia. The residents initially thought the cloud was UFO because they never saw things like that happened in their village. The news spread by the locals reached every corner of the country very quickly.
But the excitement turned to disappointment when they found what was thought as a UFO turned out to be clap cloud. Ivan Dementievskiy, a photographer who traveled to the area managed to capture the rare phenomena.
"The sky suddenly seemed to open up and this UFO shape appeared. I have been a photographer for more than ten years and it's one of the few times I have been completely amazed," he said.
"It was one of those moments I'll never forget."

Bowing out in Wicker Park
faith bowman
January 31, 2006 @ 9:15 AM
This Saturday I set out to find a bow-tie. I've just started working as an usher at the Lyric Opera House and I am supposed to wear a tux, like everybody else. Since I don't have one, I can wing it for 45 performances while I get my sartorial act together. While I can wait on the tuxedo, the bow-tie is a must have item. When I stepped out of the door of my building, little did I know that I'd be testing the shopping limits of my neighborhood, Wicker Park.
I actually live on Wicker Park Avenue and the first thing that I always see when I leave home is Wicker Park across the street. I like to let my eyes flow over it like a land baroness reviewing her holdings. I silently acknowledge imaginary serfs toiling in my favor and decide what direction to go in. Since I had to go thrifting, that meant Milwaukee Avenue, and that meant turning left. I could have through the park and down Damen to Division, or turned right and then right again on Damen and walked down that street? But Milwaukee is closest and is the shopping street that I have the most feel for. It's a mixture of high and low-end goods, and I am endlessly fascinated by it. It reminds me of say, 8th or 14th street in New York. I swear that I could fulfill all my needs just on Milwaukee, between Division and Damen.
I breathe in, say goodbye to the park and turn left. I walk two blocks up and then turn left again on Wolcott and am directly faced with my first stop, Ragstock. Due to the fact that it's prices are low, it's close to my house, and the stock is wide-ranging- I kinda see it as my personal closet, or like going to a friend's house to borrow something. It takes so little effort to shop there, it's like, relaxing, and I always find something good. I went in and asked about bow-ties and the boy at the register was nice, but said that they might not have any because no-one buys them. He was right; there weren't any. When I left he was outside smoking a cigarette, looking super-fashionable, chillin'.
I was a little sad, I had hoped to be able to score on the first try, but whatever. I went down the street to Brown Elephant, the AIDs charity thrift shop. I looked around and the more I looked, the more I realized that I need to make way more money. There was so much good stuff there , I was drooling- brand new stuff, too! There were two black jackets that I liked for work- one a perfect take on a tuxedo jacket, but with a v-front instead of a squared of or rounded hem. Too cute! It looked my size, but at $18.00 was too high for me that day. I also saw a vintage leather car coat, stiff but super stylish with a mottled black finish. $25.00. Not bad, but I was only packing $12.00 and still hadn't found a bow-tie. I ended up buying a cute stretch cotton button down shirt, white with tan and brown horizontal lines and a punkish frayed quality, $4.00 and it makes me feel super-stylish. I got a little pin in the shape of a dove, $1.00. Obviously no bow tie. I looked over the clerks at the register before leaving- the girl looked like Karen Oh and the guy was doing that hipster thing- but really clean and well groomed about it. Cute sales people make you feel hopeful about life in general, I think.
I walked out the door and stood there, wondering. Then I decided to head further up the street to Kmart. They have everything, right? It started to rain a little, and I could have run back home for my umbrella, but didn't. I looked in the windows of all the furniture stores selling ticky-tacky tchotchkes and thought how cool it would be to do a photo shoot where the models are posed I the windows of stores like these. Like they just woke up in decorating hell and can't get out! Then I saw something I liked and decided it wasn't tacky after all? Just camp.
I finally get to Kmart (it's over by the Jewel in this kind of mini-mall over by Ashland. Entering on Milwaukee, I always have to hike over the parking lot, praying not to get run over by an SUV blaring reggaeton, with like 6 screaming kids in back.) Everybody who had no money and very little style was hanging out in front of the double doors waiting for -- what? I ask myself this every time I go there, and still have no real answer. I went through the doors like gang-busters looking to get in and get out before I got distracted. I power-walked to the boys section, they had to have bow-ties! Well, no. It seems like no one tortures their man-to-be with those little Fauntleroy suits anymore. You know those suits? Solid polyester, with a shirt included they always wear them to communion, or the more formal birthday party? My brother had one. Just like I had the dress equivalent- dark faux-velvet with a rounded peter pan collar trimmed in lace and a sash that always came unraveled as I played tag after whatever festivity my mom had dragged me to. They don't seem to make those suits anymore , at least they don't sell them at Kmart. All they had were jeans, t-shirts, and some really wrong Hawaiian shirts.
So I'm starting to get discouraged? But then as I walk toward Milwaukee, I see the Ark Thrift store -- duh! Why didn't I go there first? Maybe because it's closed on Saturday? There it was- gates pulled across the front and sagging every which way, signs in the window screaming 'Clothing Half-Off!' (am I the only one that sees the humor? I can't be.) I bet they had a whole bin of bow-ties just out of my reach.
My head started to hang just the tiniest bit after hitting up the wig store (no), the chaepie wedding dress store (no- but they had fake flowers I might go back for), and the Walgreen's (no). Now I was on Milwaukee and Wood and I think- drown my sorrows in Big Gulp at the 7-11 but then? Epiphany! The men's store on the corner! The one I always pass by and never think about! They have to have bow ties! Well, they do? Just not right this second when I actually need one. That's it, I tell myself. I'm going home. I'm not even going to treat myself to a Big Gulp, 'm just gonna go home. On the way I walk past Una Mae's Freak Boutique and stop. I think, 'What the hell- one last try -- '
I walk in and there's these two clerks: one's leaning on the counter like he's glued to it and the other one just springs into action when I make my request. He tears off looking for a bow-tie like his life depends on it. Guess what? He found two- both velvet, one grey and one black. But they were $8.00 and after my little fling at Brown Elephant I only had $6.00! Darn! I left but decided to call the manager. Begged. She let me have it for $6.00 and no tax, and thus was my butt saved. I left Una Mae's loving life and Wicker Park. I came up with a little moral for my shopping tale: persistence pays off. Or maybe good customer service benefits everyone. But maybe there is no moral and there is just this: a neighborhood is the place where you can always find what you want, if you take the time to look.
