A spinning ball (spinning on the table) will feel heavyer to another ball (sitting on the table). A ball spinning at say 10,000rpm would i think feel say 1% heavyer. A ball spinning at say 1,000,000rpm might feel twice az heavy.
But a spinning ball wont feel lighter to the table (ie kompared to when it stops spinning).
And levitation or zero gravity wouldnt be possible (for the spinning ball) no matter how fast the ball woz spinning.
A ball spinning at 1,000,000rpm might feel az if it had zero mass, ie az felt by a (stationary) ball suspended just above the spinning ball.
And if it were spinning fast enuff it might repel the suspended ball.
And if it were spinning much much fasterer then the repulsion might be greater than the earth's attraktion -- in which case the suspended ball would fall upwards -- a sort of antigravity machine (but the spinning ball wouldnt be affekted).
This stuff follows from aether theory.
Gravity iz due to the aktion of aether. Aether iz sucked into all matter, where it dissappears (aktually it converts to magnitizm ie elektron spin), and accelerating aether exerts force on matter, ie it drags matter along with it (hencely gravity).
Inertia iz the same sort of force or effekt (but opposit to gravity). Aktually inertia iz different to gravity in that gravitational attraktion iz due to aether being destroyed inside matter -- whereaz with inertia there aint no such destruktion (of aether).
A spinning ball sucks aether into itself at its equator region (due to centripital inertia) -- and hencely it spits aether out at its poles (koz, like i sayd, this sucked-in aether iznt absorbed or destroyed, hencely it haztago somewhere).
The same sorts of aether-gravity effekt and aether-inertia effekt occur at the earth's equator and poles. But if u google u might be konfuzed koz scientists hav made a mistake and they talk of aether being sucked in at the poles (just in case u google and karnt follow them dont worry they hav it wrong).

Lofton Ready for Martinsville Racing
Posted by: lori on Mar 30, 2011
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing
Justin Lofton, No. 77 Lofton Cattle Toyota Tundra
Track: Martinsville Speedway
Event: Kroger 250
When: Saturday, April 2, 2 PM (Eastern)
Broadcast information: 1:30 PM (Eastern) SPEED
Last Time Out: Justin Lofton qualified 17th for the Too Tough to Tame 200 in Darlington during the tour's last race three weeks ago. The outing started out with a big obstacle after a multi-truck wreck broke out on the very first lap of the event. Lofton unfortunately got caught up in the melee, suffering front end damage, but the Ryan Fugle led No. 77 Lofton Cattle team worked on Lofton's battered Toyota Tundra, repairing the damage and handling issues. Lofton held up his end of the bargain too, picking off positions through the very last lap of competition. The checkered flag waved with Lofton driving home in the 13th position.
Two Wheel Time: Lofton got his start racing when he was just 12 years old. But rather than four wheels, Lofton flexed his competitive muscle on two wheels, racing mountain bikes. Though full bodied, four-wheeled, horse-powered machines are now his thing, Lofton still enjoys hitting the trails on two wheels. During the break in NCWTS competition, Lofton took advantage of the time away from the track by relaxing at home and hitting the trails with his truck chief Doug Powers.
Lofton at Martinsville: Lofton will make his third start at Martinsville this Saturday during the Kroger 250. His first trip to the paperclip-shaped track ended early after contact from a lapped truck forced him to the garage area for repairs. His return visit to the .0526-mile oval last fall was a competitive one after he qualified just outside of the top-10 in 11th, and finished a solid 13th.
Lofton Loves Short Tracks: Lofton, the 2009 ARCA Racing Series champion earned the honor after claiming six race wins. Three of them were on tracks measuring a half-mile or less. In 2010 during his rookie season in trucks, Lofton tallied six runs within the top 15 on tracks measuring a mile or less, including a solid fifth place run at the challenging, high banked, half-mile in Bristol.
Truck Information: Lofton will race chassis GR102. It is a brand new truck that has not yet seen race action. However, the team tested the truck at the Motor Mile before heading to Martinsville.
Lofton on Martinsville: "I'm so excited about heading to Martinsville this week. It's a fun short track and you really have to be on your game there because things happen so fast. If you can stay out of trouble, you can come home with a solid finish. I feel like we have some momentum rolling after Darlington. The guys were relentless working on the truck there and it paid off with a good finish. We hope to keep adding to it."
Crew Chief Ryan "Rudy" Fugle on Martinsville: "Martinsville is a historic track that I am excited to go to. It is one of those races on the Truck schedule that all of the teams want to win. I am real excited to get back to racing after having the last few weeks off."

Saving the world, $10 at a time, part II
(Page 2 of 3)
Our lives are put back together now, and I feel, more than ever, obliged to help others where and when I can, having had no ability to pitch in after Sandy. As a former Boy Scout raised on the Scout's Oath "to help other people at all times," I have long felt a need to lend a hand if I can, but Sandy reinforced that sense of duty within me. I begin here in the best way I know how –– by writing.
On this week two years ago, I published a column titled "Saving the world, $10 at a time." It focused on national and international nonprofit organizations that readers could donate $10 to and make a big difference in reducing poverty and protecting the planet. Now I'd like to shine a light on local nonprofit groups that are here to help the South Shore weather its storms, no matter what form they may take. Donations are always appreciated. Ten dollars will do.
1. CoLoKi Inc. In the days and weeks after Sandy struck, many people's primary concern –– if they weren't injured in the storm –– was rebuilding, and suddenly hundreds of South Shore residents with damaged homes were turning to day laborers to do the hard work of rebuilding. Too often these men, most of whom are immigrants, are forgotten. Paid a pittance and offered no health insurance, they stand on street corners, waiting, hoping, for their next job. Many go hungry. Some are homeless. This nonprofit group, run by Merokean Liz O'Shaughnessy, maintains a work hiring trailer and a small community center in Freeport to provide the men with a clean, dry place to wait for jobs, where they can also get two warm meals a day. For more, check out www.colokiinc.com.
2. Peninsula Counseling Center. Established in 1913 as the Relief Association of Lawrence, the Peninsula Counseling Center is one of the oldest and largest mental health counseling centers on Long Island, and it played a critical role in providing support to storm victims in the days and weeks after Hurricane Sandy. Its office is now in Valley Stream. To find out more, go to www.peninsulacounseling.org.

I have been trying for over 4 weeks, to help. Debbie told me to get out of the house and do something-anything. So since i'm an old drywaller, i-I thought-new york is haveing a hard time. She said-go-get it done-give em a hand harve. But no one wants a free hand, I think I get it, but its tougher getting a free job then a paying job. on the take, i think thats the thought process. every one in my family thinks im synical, this is the reason why. hell, i just wanted to lend a hand. free dosent mean anything more then rippin you off these days. what a shame. im also shameful in so many way. i guess you could call me a jack mormon. well-you beinging a columnist, i spose you heard it all anyway. i was probably only looking for absolution or a pat on the back. new york-tough towns.

For the tens of millions of coffee lovers who suffer from acid sensitivity, it's time for some good news: Toddy cold-brewed coffee, which can be served hot or cold, has 67% less acidity than conventional drip and hot-brewed coffee. The Toddy coffeemaker doesn't require specialty coffee blends, either—use your preferred brand and flavor; the Toddy's special brewing process will tame the acidity.
Developed and patented in 1964 by a Cornell University chemical engineering graduate, the Toddy Cold Brew Coffee System extracts the coffee bean's true flavor and eliminates much of the acidity, producing a bold, super-smooth coffee concentrate which may be refrigerated for up to 14 days without any deterioration in taste or freshness. This means no waste. Cold-brewed coffee can be made one cup at a time, and at the strength you prefer, simply by adding hot or iced cold water or milk. Toddy Cold Brew Coffee is also microwavable.

So, we had Zimbra up and almost running at the begining of the week, and we imported Outlook files and all was good. But we got nastily stuck, had to roll back to the old server, then ended up completely wiping our Zimbra server, reinstalling, and starting back over from SCRATCH. Now, we can't import the Outlook data using the PST importer. HELP!!!
Everything APPEARS to be working, until you get to "33 items" and then you get 1,2,3,4 errors, "too many errors" and then it dies.
I'm attaching the import log.

NEW YORK (AP) — The National Book Awards are getting a rewrite.
A "long list" of 10 nominees will be announced for each of the four competitive categories before being narrowed to the traditional five finalists. And the pool of judges will be expanded beyond writers to include critics, booksellers and librarians.
The changes were announced Tuesday by the National Book Foundation, which presents the awards. Publishers have been looking for ways to broaden their appeal and have looked to Britain's popular Man Booker Prize as a model.

A Little about Me
I am a fourth-year senior in Psychology and Architecture and I currently work on Dr. Lamb's research team over at Emory, where we are studying how nurses coordinate care in the hospital. I'm looking forward to graduating in the spring and I am truly excited about seeing how this class unfolds.
Outside of classes, I have been coaching youth soccer teams (with kids under the age of 6, yes...pure craziness!) for the past four years, as well as serving as an adviser to a freshmen leadership team, Freshman Activities Board (FAB). I also teach several fitness classes at our very own CRC, including cycling and cardio kickboxing.
My other interests include running, photography, reading the newspaper and perusing IKEA catalogs :) My email is ddutcher(a)gatech.edu.

The two marquee games of the annual ESPN Tip-Off Marathon are so good, they should be treated as some sort of reward.
Y'know, something along the lines of this: To be able to watch college basketball's No. 1 vs. No. 2 (Kentucky-Michigan State) and No. 4 vs. No. 5 (Duke-Kansas), you should have to collect at least three codes while watching the other 16 good-to-great games on the marathon schedule. The two Champions Classic games, which will be played at the United Center in Chicago on November 12, will feature more than a dozen potential first-round picks. And that's a conservative guess.
The 18-game slate—which includes two outstanding women's showdowns (No. 4 Stanford at No. 1 Connecticut and No. 3 Tennessee at No. 7 North Carolina) on Monday night—kicks off on Monday evening with Kent State at Temple at 7 p.m.
Here's a look at the 10 best men's games of the marathon.
Ranking ESPN's Tip-Off Marathon: Ten best games on the schedulencaab November 9, 2013 12:51pm EST November 8, 2013 12:52pm EST
The two marquee games of the annual ESPN Tip-Off Marathon are so good, they should be treated as some sort of reward.
2 No. 4 Kansas vs. No. 5 Duke (United Center, Chicago)
Need to know: This one's all about the headlining freshmen, Kansas' Andrew Wiggins against Duke's Jabari Parker. Of course, both teams have plenty of other talented players—Duke has the advantage in that aspect—but the focus, at least early in the game, will be those two guys. Should be a great marathon capper.
3 No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 2 Michigan State (United Center, Chicago)
Need to know: This one's mostly about the Kentucky freshmen (Julius Randle, James Young, the Harrison twins), against the returning Michigan State stars (Gary Harris, Adreian Payne, etc). And, of course, two coaches (Tom Izzo and John Calipari) who know a thing or two about preparing their players for the big, bright stage.
4 No. 14 VCU at No. 24 Virginia
Need to know: Shaka Smart and his VCU Rams have owned the state of Virginia the past few seasons, but Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett has a veteran squad—led by seniors Joe Harris and Akil Mitchell—and home-court advantage in this showdown. All eyes will be on the referees in this game, to see how the new points of officiating emphasis will impact an aggressive defensive team like VCU.
5 No. 10 Florida at No. 20 Wisconsin
Need to know: This game promises more drama than actual possessions—Florida was 294th last year in adjusted tempo and Wisconsin was 318th (according to KenPom.com)—and that's OK. Like the VCU-Virginia game, though, it's a bit of a shame this contest is going up against one of the great showdowns of this year's nonconference schedule.
6 Western Kentucky at No. 16 Wichita State
Need to know: Coming off their thrilling run to the 2013 Final Four, how excited are Wichita State's fans for this season? Sporting News' college basketball preview magazine featuring Shockers star Cleanthony Early on a regional cover sold out in record time thanks to web and phone orders (there are still copies on newsstands, if you're at the right location in Kansas or Missouri).
7 BYU at Stanford
Time/TV: 11 p.m., Nov. 11, ESPN2
Need to know: When March rolls around, the winner of this game will be thankful to have this one in their "deserves an at-large bid" column. BYU sharpshooter Tyler Haws, who averaged 27.8 points per game in the Cougars' run to the NIT semifinals last spring, will use this game to reintroduce himself on the national landscape.
8 Akron at St. Mary's
Need to know: Both of these teams lost their star players from the 2012-13 season—Akron big man Zeke Marshall and St. Mary's point guard Matthew Dellavedova are playing pro ball now—but both squads have visions of return trips to the NCAA Tournament. Might as well kick off those journeys with a midnight start on the West Coast, right?
9 Colorado State at No. 15 Gonzaga
Need to know: Not to continually harp on the players who have gone, but it's a big story in this game. Colorado State lost all five senior starters from last year's team, and the Zags lost big men Kelly Olynyk and Elias Harris. Gonzaga's still ranked, though, because there's a ton of talent, starting with one of the best backcourts in the country in Gary Bell, Jr. and Kevin Pangos.
10 N.C. State at Cincinnati
Need to know: These two teams have a similar profile, in that they have an established star and lots of young players around him. For Cincinnati, it's guard Sean Kilpatrick (17.0 ppg last year). For N.C. State, it's big man T.J. Warren (12.4 ppg last year). Might be safer to expect more effort than execution from these teams so early in the season.
11 Hartford at Florida Gulf Coast
Need to know: It's the return of Dunk City. Florida Gulf Coast has a new coach in former Kansas assistant Joe Dooley—Andy Enfield took over the Southern California gig—but the Eagles have plenty of returning players from that Sweet 16 squad, including point guard Brett Comer. A cascade of alley-oops will go well with breakfast.
12 Best of the rest
No. 12: LSU at Massachusetts (11 a.m., Nov. 12, ESPN2)
No. 13: Quinnipiac at LaSalle (9 a.m., Nov. 12, ESPN2)
No. 14: West Virginia at Virginia Tech (1 p.m., Nov. 12, ESPN)
No. 15: Kent State at Temple (7 p.m., Nov. 12, ESPNU)
No. 16: New Mexico State at Hawaii (5 a.m., Nov. 12, ESPN2)

|Hospital district board meets
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
East Phillips County Hospital board members had a smaller agenda for their April meeting, held Monday, April 27.
In his report to the board, administrator John Ayoub announced MMH's consulting pharmacist at North Colorado Medical Center is leaving and the hospital will need to find a replacement.
Also, Ayoub said the district is entering contract talks with First Party Receivables to handle billing for Family Practice of Holyoke. Because of the district's switch to Electronic Medical Records, it recently moved all of its billing in house, but Ayoub said the work has become too overwhelming.
Updates were also provided on Ayoub's searches for a new physician, CFO and lab manager. On all three positions, he continues to meet with candidates and conduct interviews. However, no official hirings have taken place yet.
In addition at the meeting, board members:
—approved a resolution to accept the 2008 audit as presented by Eide Bailly, LLP out of Fargo, N.D., not BKD, LLC as was incorrectly stated in last week's Enterprise.
—adopted a resolution to amend its insurance policy with AIG and VALIC. The amendments were definition changes mandated by the state; no changes at all were made to the coverage dictated in the policy.
—heard a report from Sherry Mari, director of the medical records department.
—approved the donation of the donor plaque, located in the old Melissa Memorial Hospital building to Phillips County Museum.
—reviewed a Medical Staff Regulations report prepared by Ayoub.
—went over the Financial Conditions Report with interim CFO Jim Rush.
—reviewed the district's balanced scorecard for its first quarter. Overall, the scorecard shows the district is performing very well in the areas of finance and customer care. Operationally, the district is performing well, but there are still areas in which the board would like to see further improvement.
—approved two-year re-appointment credentials for Dr. Hurst, Dr. Michael Hajek and Dr. Randall Marsh.
—approved the hospital bylaws as amended. The medical staff bylaws committee continues its preparation work.
—held an executive session to discuss personnel matters. Afterwards, the board approved a motion to give Ayoub a bonus for his work in 2008.

I've had several users report this to me (IE 6/7 on WinXP) and I've occasionally seen it myself (FF 2.0 on FC6). When you delete a message in the Zimbra Web Client the message does not disappear from the view. If you change to a different folder and come back to the folder you were working in the message is gone, so the delete is in fact working, but the delete is not immediately reflected in the view.
I found bug 13989 which seems to address this issue. However, the bug is marked as unconfirmed and there were no updates on it since January, until I added a comment yesterday. I don't know how I could possibly post screen-shots or anything like that to prove the problem exists, but I have seen it with my own two eyes.

- Detail Images
You and a partner don't always need a month to plan a backpacking trip, because you can head out into the desert and pitch the three-season Stoic Arx SL2 Tent whenever you please. Sure, it can shelter you and a companion during your ten-day treks, but this double-walled, freestanding dome's easy setup also accommodates more spontaneous escapes from society. With its double door, double vestibule design and generous dimensions, you don't have to worry about bumping elbows during a trip of any length off the grid.
- All the tent's seams are taped to eliminate rain penetration during spring and summer storms
- Durable nylon ripstop fly and floor repel moisture and withstand abuse during long treks into the heart of roadless areas
- Simple dome design uses two pre-curved Yunan aluminum poles, one carbon fly brow pole (to save weight), and clips that are easy to assemble day or night, rain or shine
- Two doors and two vestibules give both backpackers easy exits during nighttime bathroom breaks, as well as provide protection for packs and boots
- Lots of floor space and a 38-inch ceiling provides comfort during long storms
- Breathable mesh walls and two fly vents expel interior condensation during muggy summer nights
- Guy loops let you tie down the tent during high winds
- Vestibule can be closed completely with a zipper but one side also rolls up to use the space as a shaded porch
- When split between two backpackers, the 4lb 3oz trail weight doesn't feel like much during multi-day trips
- With its included stuff sack, the tent packs down to 18 x 7in so you can easily attach it to your pack

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Solid tent with one problem
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I liked the tent, easy to set up, relatively light, 2 doors, etc. Very good for the price. My only beef is that it has a fabric bottom (the same fabric that is part of the walls of the tent). I'm not sure whether that was in its description or not. Either way, I prefer a tarp bottom, even if its a little extra weight, because it provides protection against flooding and wont tear as easily when set up on rough terrain. I'm nervous I'll rip the bottom when getting up in the middle of the night.
As milp837157 stated, Fabric bottom is indeed thin and quite loose so I'm also worried about it's durability.
I didn't have an opportunity to properly test it yet (just arrived), but I'm a little concerned about ventilation in a hot, damp day. Despite of full-mesh inner walls it only has ONE fly vent, and not two as description says.
The tent is also not as superlight as in specs - mine weights 2195g instead of 1866g, including 8 pegs (while 13 would be needed for full setup). And it's not due to bag, which only weights 60g or so. By the way, it uses exactly the same bag as Arx SL3, so you hove no problem putting it back in.
My tent has color coding messed up - you actually have to put black pole ends into red straps and default dark-red colored pole end into black straps. Fly and mesh have colors aligned correctly.
Used for my Appalachian Trail Thru Hike
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My boyfriend and I brought this tent on our Appalachian Trail thru hike. We used it almost every night for 6 months in all weather. We used this tent in 2 feet of snow, in pouring rain, in the middle of summer heat and it lasted through it all. At one point, a downpour left us sitting in a couple inches of rain and our gear stayed dry. Others replaced their tents multiple times with broken poles and leaking rain flies, but this tent held up great. I highly recommend it.
Great Deal!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This tent has worked out great! Used it twice in very rainy conditions and it never leaked! Inside of the rain fly will get a little damp so just be aware of that as you're entering/exiting the tent. The shape is a little interesting - it gets narrower/shorter at one end and you cannot sit up without hitting your head. But on the larger end - there is plenty of space! Tent is also really easy to set up even by yourself.
Tent is small enough and light enough for backpacking, yet large enough to fit 2 adults semi-comfortably. Floor is wide enough for two sleeping pads side-by-side and there's room your feet for gear. (Unless you're 6'4'' then you might have a problem).
One negative would be the abundance of ties hanging off of the rain fly. They're great if you pitch in a grove of trees, but if you're on a barren campsite, there's not much to tie them to and they end up becoming tangled when you roll up your tent. Not a major issue, but can become an annoyance.
Borrowed Once
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I borrowed this tent from a coworker for a trip to Colorado. Unfortunately we only ended up using it 1 night, and it didn't rain and wasn't excessively windy or anything to put this thing to the test. That said, my initial impressions are pretty good. I really like the ease at which this thing went up. We put it up in the dark with headlamps for the first time and it took less than 3 minutes to have the whole thing erected with the rain fly on. I was pretty impressed by that, as my old "backpacking" tent takes forever and is really frustrating, even with two people.
The material was notably thin. Definitely had concerns that I was going to tear my buddy's tent on something. This is probably unfounded, its just that my tent has very thick (HEAVY!) material that seems pretty bomb proof, though it also weighs like 13lbs.
The tent fit 2 adults comfortably. If I was to be making the purchase I might go with the SL3 just to get a little bit of extra floor space and headroom. Really impressed with how small this thing packs down. With the current sale price ($180) taken into consideration, this tent simply has to be a 5 star. At full price I might be inclined to remove a star...
Can't stand up to Alaska
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this tent on a 5 day float trip in the Alaska Range. This is literally the worst tent you could ever take with you into the backcountry in Alaska. The tent itself does a great job keeping you dry...once you are inside. The zippers are designed for someone who has 5' long arms. Once you open the fly you nearly have to lay on your stomach to reach the zipper(s) of the tent. The rain fly builds condensation very quickly and anytime you go in and out of the tent you better be wearing rain gear. To make matters worse, the flap that is supposed to protect the fly zipper gets caught every time you open and close the fly, so to complicate matters you have to reach outside the tent and pull the flap out of the zipper every time you come and go. The final straw was drawn at about 3 am this morning when I had to open the tent to fire a warning shot off to get the bear out of our camp. I opened the tent, then unzipped the fly and as I leaned out the small amount of motion and me squeezing through the fly drained all of the condensation that had built up onto me and my tent mate, we were so wet we had to leave the tent and climb in with our friends. And yes, I had the vent on the rain fly wide open. Sadly...this one is going back to Backcountry ASAP. I've been very happy with all my other Stoic gear but the designers of this tent missed it big time on this one.
I fit well in the tent at 6ft and partners have had no problems either. Plenty of room and a good vestibule for gear and packs. Worked well on snow with the footprint and have not had an condensation issues even in West Coast rain. The tent is pretty quick to set up and not complicated. Its not the lightest and doesn't seem to be the most durable but for low key trips and car camping it is great!
Worth every penny
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I used this tent every weekend and so far it's been awesome. The stakes it comes with I broke or bent basically 1 or 2 a week but that's my only complaint. Last weekend it we went through a heavy rain and lighting storm and it held up fine. Everything stayed dry under the fly even my shoes that were outside the actual tent.
Awsome tent
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this tent to camp with the boyscout troop my boys are in. I have been through down pouring rain and everything in the tent stayed bone dry. Others people in my troop have maromont,rei and other backpacking tents and this rates right up there with them. It is easy to set up. We are normally setting up in the dark and I can have this tent up in a matter of mins. I would recomand this tent to anyone that wants a good backpacking tent.
stoked about this tent!!
i recently got this tent and so far i have loved it! it is a pretty easy set up and is a great tent for backpacking. Although i have only used it on one 1 trip it got the job done when it rained keeping me and my gear completely dry.
Is the Stoic SL2 the new version of the Stoic XL2? I am trying to find a 2 person Stoic tent and available footprint. Any advice or info would be much appreciated.
it seems to me to be pretty much the same, the specs are a little different between the tents, with the sl2 having more floor space..you could always try finding the footprint or tent somewhere else depending on which one you want
Good tent, awesome tent for the price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great tent, have used it in all seasons, have been caught in high winds, snow, heavy rains, and the tent has performed fantastically.... I've used it for about 100 days now, and it is still in great condition, definitely exceeded my expectations. I bought a 140 dollars tent, and it is a bit heavy, but who cares, it has survived like a champion.... Definitely exceeded expectations.
Lightweight and very well made!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have both this Stoic tent and the Stoic Suite 4. The 2-man tent is fantastic for my son and I to share on our weekend backpacking trips. It is very light at only 4 lbs and super well made. Seems and overall construction is top quality all around. This is also a great size 2-man tent with room for both of us and our gear. The Suite 4 is also an incredible tent but only useful standard camping due to the 15 lb weight. These Stoic tents are well worth the investment.
great tent
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this trip for a trip to the boundary waters in 9/2012. Tons of space, light for a two man and can't beat the price. Only dealt with a little rain. Bone dry. We did 5 nights on the boundary waters trip and I have done 5 seperate overnights in Arizona's high country. warm down to the 40's (I haven't been in colder weather with it yet). Set up and break down very easy and love have two vestibules.
I just got back from a quick overnight in the Superstition Mts. outside Phoenix. They were calling for rain so I tought, let's test this tent. I was scrambling to set up as the rain started. I camped on the rim of Boulder Canyon so left exposed to the wind. It rained a torrential downpour for pretty much 6 hours strait. 1.57 inches is what the park ranger said. The tent was a champ! At times the roof was about a foot from my face while laying my back. It held together and didn't leak. There was moister under my sleeping pad but not sure if that was there as we set up in the rain. Great tent for money
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I set it up a couple times in my room, and actually used it once on a trip to Havasupai near the Grand Canyon. As a freestanding tent, it is easily set up and stands solidly even without the stakes, but it does become roomier (and looks better) when staked in. The rainfly comes in easy too, and has color coded straps at the corners that match the tent's, so you immediately know the correct orientation. I am 5'11", 160lbs, and slept perfectly fine in it with a buddy of mine who is about the same build. I cannot attest to the waterproof rating since it did not rain on us that night. Some people have mentioned issues with the gear loft, about stuff sliding out. The gear loft has sort of a basket on one end, so it's not a simple plane of mesh. Therefore if you set it up right (simple to do), stuff will NOT slide out of the gear loft. The tent also has a little mesh pocket in every corner of the tent, which is useful too. Inside the center of the tent, I am able to sit confortably, with a few inches between my head and the tent ceiling. I also like that it is easy to roll up the canopy and fly together, since the air escapes easily through the fabric as you roll up, so I never ended up with air pockets between the fabric after rolling it up. It also packs down pretty good, which was one of my main concerns.
I do not have extensive experience with backpacking tents, but from the ones I've used or been in, this is my overall favorite. I really like it and so far have no complaints at all.
PICTURE: shows the packed size relative to my hand and a size 10 shoe. Seems like the standard comparison item for outdoor gear is a nalgene, but i dont own one
Great Tent
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This tent is very easy to set up and has a good amount of space on the inside. The removable fly makes it ideal for those warm summer nights.
Lightweight Stoic Arx SL2 Ten
This tent was comparable in weight to other tents I've used that cost nearly twice as much.
It was easy to pack, easy to set up, and actually a bit roomier than my more expensive ultralight tent.
It's streamlined and gimmick-free, and I'll definitely be taking it out more.
Great tent, really lightweight and a little bigger than other lightweight 2P tents. Only complaint, it does seem to hold a lot of condensation in the morning on the fly. So it probably won't be best for really wet weather. loved it otherwise.
Where is this tent made?

This tent is manufactured in China.

Is it possible to buy spare poles for this tent? Some sheep invaded my tent and broke several poles... :(
I really suggest you get in contact with our customer service department at 801.409.4502 so that we can get this taken care of for you. This would ultimately have to go through warranty to see if we can get those poles replaced and talking to one of our Gearheads is the first step in the process.

Still having trouble finding the matching footprint for this tent. Or if anybody knows another footprint that works? Thanks.
I would recommend hopping on the BC live chat and asking them...
Any luck?
Does the fly and floor have any PU...
Does the fly and floor have any PU coating?
It does have a thin coating, but I cannot say if it's PU or silicone.
Does anyone know where I can get a footprint...
Does anyone know where I can get a footprint for this tent? Backcountry is sold out and I can't seem to find any online!
Backcountry is the only place to buy Stoic brand gear (it's their house brand)... so if they don't have it you will want to make your own.
Can someone tell me more about the vestibules...
Can someone tell me more about the vestibules on this tent? Will boots, big packs (60-80L), rain gear all fit in them without blocking use of the door?
Nope. That would take up a big chunk of space but it would not stop you from getting out.
will this comfortably fit a 6 foot 3 inch...
will this comfortably fit a 6 foot 3 inch sleeper? The length is advertised at 83 inches but that may include floor length up both walls. What is the true floor length (where you sleep)? thanks
According to the Stoic website this will accomodate a person 6'8". The front and back walls are almost completely vertical and the side walls go up pretty steeply as well. You shouldn't have a problem if you're 6'3".
Are the walls vertical? I've been seeing...
Are the walls vertical? I've been seeing some Mt.Hardware tents and they're getting walls vertical, making more Floor space . What are the walls angeled?
Steep angle, Plenty of head space in my opinion....

I'm 50yrs old, 6'2" and 240lbs, and yes I still like to get in the back country. But do you think this would be big enough for me and say my son, someone 5'9", 170?
Definitely, its a pretty roomy tent, at least for what I think of as far as 2 person tents go... You can always buy their 3 person version....
does this model tent have the same problems...
does this model tent have the same problems with the carbon brow snapping like the stoic arx xl2 tent ???
I have only used it outside once, but havent had any problems with the brow pole, and it seems pretty solid, so i really doubt the pole will break under normal use

Hi there,
I am looking for an easy to pack/unpack relatively lightweight 2p tent around 250$.
Any ideas please?
REI Passage 2 is pretty much as simple and fast as you can get, and pretty light. I can set it up (by myself, with the fly) in about a minute and a half. The Marmot Limelight is also great, a little more involved.
This tent! Now that it is on sale. Or the MSR hoop tent. It's 250$ and only weighs 4 lbs 8oz

BROOKSIDE - Trailing Bridgeport 5-2 and still without a base hit in the sixth inning, Shadyside finally broke out the lumber to rally for a 10-5, victory on Niekro Diamond at Bill Jobko Stadium.
With the come-from-behind victory, the Tigers (9-4) most likely leap-frogged the Bulldogs (12-5) for second place in the OVAC Class 2A race. The cut-off date is Wednesday, with the top four teams making the playoffs.
"This one (win) here goes to our four seniors - Jared Brooks, Cody Hudson, Adam Stupak and Chase Kinemond," Shadyside coach Mike Meintel said. "This is their win. Us coaches didn't do anything. They are the ones that kept the players in the game, and kept their minds in the game.
"So, this win belongs to them."
All four had a hand in the rally as Brooks came on to relieve starter Austin Dorris with one out in the second and Bridgeport leading 5-2. All the lefty did was retire 17 of the 22 batters he faced.
"Austin didn't have his legs after competing in the Shadyside Relays over the weekend," Meintel noted, "but Jared did another great job in relief. He had a sore arm at the start of the season, so we're continuing to build his innings up so he'll be ready for the postseason."
Brooks struck out seven and didn't walk a batter in recording a victory. He set down 11 of the first 12 Bulldogs that went to the plate against him.
The foursome referred to by Meintel accounted for eight of the 10 runs scored. They had three hits and four RBI. Stupak, who scored three times despite not getting a base hit, drew a leadoff walk from Bridgeport starter Parker Dyson to start the sixth.
With the count 3-0 on Cody Hudson, Bridgeport coach Ted Downing made a pitching change, although Dyson hadn't given up a base hit.
"He still threw way too many pitches and balls," Downing explained. "He's got to be more consistent in throwing strikes. He throws way too many balls."
Sophomore Bailey McGrath relieved and served up a double off the third baseman's backhanded attempt as Stupak chugged into third. Dorris then lifted a sacrifice fly to center that plated Stupak. Brooks' single up the middle left runners on the corners, and Zach Frizzi's potential double-play bouncer to second was inadvertently thrown to first for one out as Hudson scored to Make it 5-4.
"It all boils down to we've got to make the routine plays," Downing stressed. "We get a routine double-play ball. Routine ... handed to us ... and we don't make the right play. As coaches, all we can do is tell the kids where to throw the ball. We can't throw it for them."
Luke Nardo slapped a 1-2 pitch up the middle that scored Brooks, who made a great slide away from the tag of John Christakis, to knot things at 5-5. Colton Campbell drilled a single to left before Cole Crow sent a sinking liner to right that eluded the diving Bulldogs' right fielder and resulted in a two-run triple. Cole, however, was tagged out in a rundown between third and home to end the inning, but the damage had been done.
Shadyside added three insurance runs in the seventh as Dorris singled in one; Brooks' sacrifice fly got another in; and Frizzi's groundout plated a third.
"They (Shadyside) didn't have a hit for five innings and we quit hitting after the second," Downing noted. "When things go bad for us, they really go bad."
After Shadyside scored a pair of unearned runs in the top of the first, Bridgeport answered with two in its half of the inning and tacked on three more in the second.
Dyson helped his own cause with a two-run, two-out single to right-center in the first, while Jonathan Kreiter singled home two runs in the second. Cody Reed's RBI single made it 5-2 and sent Dorris behind the plate in favor of Brooks.
Bridgeport's QJ Williams was the lone player to record a multi-hit game as he went 4-for-4 with three singles and a triple.

Associated Press Release
ORANGE CITY, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a central Florida woman nearly drowned when her husband held her face down in their dog's water bowl during an argument over frozen pizza.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://bit.ly/SVJM79 ) reports the argument started as the couple sat down to watch TV Wednesday night and eat pizza. Richard Watson complained that the crust was raw and flung his plate into the front door. Debra Watson then tossed her plate on the floor.
Police say her husband tackled her and shoved her head into the dog bowl. Debra Watson broke free. But a police report says her husband tried to strangle her.
Richard Watson is charged with attempted murder and battery.
Police say a Volusia County man killed his roommate earlier this week during an argument over pork chops.

A record setting crowd is what Griz fans and officials are predicting for Saturday night's game.
Excited fans for both the Griz and opponent Appalachian State weren't hard to find in Missoula Friday afternoon.
"We didn't have a very good season last year and I'm looking forward to a good one this year," said Griz fan Steve Nelson.
It's been more than nine months since the Griz took field for a game but Saturday night the much anticipated 2013 season kicks off.
"I always enjoy a football game and we've got a great team," said Griz fan Norman Carey.
The Griz will take on Appalachian State under the lights; it's the first time the home opener has also been a night game.
"I think it will be fabulous, I think it's real exciting, and it will be a little cooler and it will just be something different, and it will be great for the University and for Missoula," said Nelson.
"They're a quality team too, we love coming here, the fans the whole atmosphere out here is pretty much like in Boone," said App State fan Larry Cecile.
It's not just the lights that will play in to the atmosphere; it's the size of the crowd as well. The capacity of Washington-Grizzly Stadium is 25,217. But that's just seats. When you factor in concession workers, security, media, everyone who makes the game possible the actual attendance is higher than that.
The all time record was set last November when the Bobcats came to town, but predictions are Saturday's game will top that.
Griz Nation couldn't be more excited, though some from Appalachian Nation are a little nervous.
"It's just going to be an awesome night game, it's going to be beautiful," Carey said.
"It will be an electric atmosphere," said App fan Charlie Atkinson. "But last time we were under the lights we lost in the last possession," added Stacy Reedy.
Saturday's game is a 'maroon out' for Griz fans. The University of Montana Bookstore stocked up on extra gear. The store will stay open until 9 p.m. to accommodate the 7 p.m. start time of the game.

You can take a short quiz to find out how many 5 year olds you can take in a fight. I can fight 30 five year olds and win. 31 is to much for me though.
How Many Five Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?
Man I can only take 22 out. I am for sure going to the gym after work to workout and sign up for some martial arts classes.
TwoNine Brand
That is ridiculous.
That said, I can take 25 on at one time. Pretty handy information in case I get caught in the middle of a kindergarten classroom.
25 before I go down. I would swing the first one I grab by the ankles and use him/her as a bat.
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things
Appearently you've played more starcraft than I.

I guess I need more fighting experience to get a better score!!
I can only take out 22.

Just in case you didn't know... I'm a girl.
Apparently I'm the weakest on CF...I can only take 19 at one time...
23 - I think the fact I wouldn't use one as a weapon kinda hurt me.
Regardless - I know this is BS. I go and visit my sister's three kids - (8, 6, and 4) and my arse is whipped inside a day.

The Florida Highway Patrol says it is trying to identify a motorist who died Wednesday afternoon in a crash on Interstate 10 near DeFuniak Springs.
Troopers say a 2004 Mercedes was traveling west on the interstate near the Mile Marker 90 when it left the roadway and crashed into the supports for the County Road 183 overpass.
They have not been able to come up with the identity of the deceased driver and the investigation is on-going.

SHRM, Dissident Group Set Summit to Air Differences
A long-awaited meeting between board members of the Society for Human Resource Management and former leaders of the HR association who have been critical of recent board decisions has been set for Oct. 5 at the SHRM Strategy Conference in Chicago, says Kathryn McKee, spokeswoman for the dissident group.
"We want to understand better their positioning of the society and to discuss the concerns we've been talking about," says McKee, a former board chair and member of SHRM Members for Transparency. "We are looking for a healthy dialogue."
The transparency group, which formed last year largely over concerns about the SHRM board's 2005 decision to pay board members, had been asking to meet with SHRM leaders since the fall of 2010. The SHRM board voted to accept the invitation at the association's 63rd annual conference, which was held in June.
Among the transparency group's other grievances is the board's vote to allow reimbursement for business-class travel, to raise membership fees and tie future increases to the consumer price index, and to boost the number of board members with credentials from the HR Certification Institute, or HRCI, which is affiliated with SHRM.
Currently, only four of 11 members have this certification, which is viewed as the industry standard for evaluating HR practitioners' expertise.
SHRM board members have requested to meet only with past chairs and four were chosen to represent the transparency group, according to an announcement on the group's website. They are David Hutchins who served as board chair in 2003-4; Wanda Lee, the 1990 chair, Kathleen McComber the 1998 chair; and McKee, who served in 1991.
McKee says no agenda has been set but she hopes the group will have an opportunity to air its concerns and heal the divisions between former and current leaders.
"I have no idea where it will go, but I see it as a positive opportunity," she says. "We want to understand them and what their hopes and dreams are for the organization. I see this is as a journey of discovery."

DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — There's a new technological milestone for television happening on Friday.
MTV is releasing a full season of its new series about a downtrodden high school football team on its mobile application a week before the first episode is seen on TV.
MTV's release of "Wait 'Til Next Year" on its app is reminiscent of when the streaming service Netflix made an entire season of the drama "House of Cards" available at the same time.
Nearly 2 million MTV apps have been downloaded primarily on iPhones and iPads since MTV made them available in June.
The network recently experimented by making extra content from its Miley Cyrus documentary available exclusively through the app.

Ned Yost media session: July 24
Before wrapping a three game series vs. the Tampa Bay Rays with today's 1:10 finale, Royals manager Ned Yost praised outfielder Mitch Maier for his versatility in the outfield. Maier will be starting in right field in today's contest and batting fifth in the lineup.
"He's [Maier] good at all three. He works all three in pregame drills. He's good in center, he's good in right, he's good in left, I don't hesitate to put him anywhere," Yost said.
When it comes to rookies, the Royals and Rays are familiar with a young roster for the 2011 season. The Rays have used 13 different rookies this season and both squad's contain eight active rookies on their roster. Yost commented on the importance of youth on both squads and the wave of talent that comes through each season.
"It usually is a sign of promise for your organization," Yost said. "That's what Dayton [Moore] is doing here is setting up those waves coming up here and the first wave of the young talent is here now."
Right handed starter Felipe Paulino will be taking the mound today facing up against Tampa Bay's right hander Alex Cobb. Yost explained that he feels comfortable with the Royals six man rotation for starting pitching and is confident in Paulino's endurance despite his high pitch counts. The Royals will be looking to sweep the three game series vs. the Rays today and will hit the road for a four game series at Fenway Park vs. the Boston Red Sox starting with tomorrow's 6:10 (CT) contest.

While the Cobb County School Board typically doesn't vote until their night meetings each month, Cobb Superintendent Dr. Michael Hinojosa said he will be asking the board to approve the addition of 30 new teachers in Cobb during the Wednesday work session to help relieve some of the overcrowding in classrooms.
"Those middle school classes are just so big, and we had a lot more kids than expected," Hinojosa said. "We need the teachers now, so we'll ask for approval now."
In other news, the board will also talk about approving the reduction of one furlough day for educators, but Hinojosa will not be asking for approval of that until the board's Sept. 27 regular meeting.
Initial enrollment figures for Cobb Schools, which were calculated after the first two weeks of schools, showed that they have 105, 757 students, or about 1,364 more than projected, putting some classes in the district way above their average teacher/student ratio, specifically in 12 of Cobb's 25 middle schools where some classes have anywhere from 36 to 44 students in a room.
The district will spend about $2.2 million to hire the additional teachers. Hinojosa said Monday that Cobb Schools will use money from the district's Fund Balance but will get that money back from the state after they turn their enrollment figures in October and again March.
"We'll get reimbursed most of that because our enrollment is so much higher, but we won't get it until the end of the (school) year," he said.
Hinojosa also said the district should have most applications "on hand" to fill these allotted positions but that there may be a few tough areas that may be harder to fill.
"We need to hustle in some areas, but in others we'll have plenty of applicants," he said.
Another expense the board will be considering is about $3 million in funds to reduce the number of furlough days approved in the FY13 budget from three to two.
"We have a lot of great staff, and it was a tough budget year but we think we can get the money because we had a significant surplus for (FY12)," Hinojosa said. "In other words, we spent less money than we budgeted. Our teachers and our staff work so hard, we wanted to buy back one furlough day this year."
Hinojosa said that with the district looking at having about $10 million in surplus, they should be able to easily take $3 million from that to give teachers back a furlough day. The district won't know for sure until December after the audit is complete how much money will be available.
The proposed furlough days for 2012-13 are Dec. 21; Feb. 15, 2013; and May 30, 2013. Hinojosa anticipates returning the third day to teachers.
The board will also continue their postponed discussion about censuring David Banks, using retired administrators for education tribunals, the superintendent's evaluation document and using SPLOST funds for Cobb's charter schools.
The discussion about censuring Banks was delayed at the August work session because board member Kathleen Angelucci said she wanted all board members present and Lynnda Eagle was absent.
Eagle, who requested the board use retired administrators from outside Cobb to participate in tribunals, said at the August night meeting that she only wanted the district to use them when they are unable to get three board members to sit in on the timely hearings.
Vice chair David Morgan has requested the board also discuss Hinojosa's annual evaluation so that it includes more information on student achievement and the overall success of the district.
Southwest Cobb's Tim Stultz said he requested the board talk about the use of SPLOST funds with charter schools.
"I do not know if the district has used SPLOST funds for charter schools in the past. Representatives at International Academy of Smyrna communicated that they were interested in participating in the new SPLOST proposal, so the discussion is to determine what needs they and the other charters may have, and to determine what may be included in the notebook," he said Monday.
Additionally during Hinojosa's report, the board will hear more about the $25 million Race to the Top grant deadline, get an update on the Strategic Plan and review new information about the SPLOST IV notebook of projects the board is anticipated to vote on sometime in November and December and put before the voters in March 2013.
In other business, the board will talk about approving:
n A $900,000 contract with LMI Systems to purchase and install a security camera and surveillance system. The contract would run between Oct. 1 and Sept. 30, 2013, and be funded by SPLOST III.
n The newly revised Strategic Plan's format, which includes key strategies, key actions, long and short range targets.
n A board resolution certifying the FY14 State Capital Outlay Project application with which the state would reimburse the district up to $8.3 million for construction projects as they are completed.
n A $237,250 contract for residential placement of a student to receive a Fair and Appropriate Public Education. According to the agenda, the student requires help around the clock.
n A $300,000 contract for nursing services for "medically fragile students." According to the agenda, the Request for Proposal was originally awarded in June 2010 and the service will provide help for students who exhibit "sporadic" attendance because of their individual health conditions.
This contract will run between Oct. 1 and Sept. 30, 2013.
n A Memorandum of Approval between Cobb County Schools, the Georgia Department of Education and Brumby, Hayes, Riverside Intermediate and Sanders elementary and East Cobb Middle schools, which were identified by the state as "focus schools" last spring.
There is no cost associated with the contract and this will allot each school to "receive additional support from the state through the Metro Regional Educational Service Area as well as the local school district," according to the agenda.
n A new name for the newly constructed Smyrna Elementary School off Fleming Street in Smyrna. The board will choose between Jonquil Elementary, Marion Worley Mitchell Elementary or Smyrna Elementary. The name selection committee has recommended the board name the school Smyrna Elementary School.
The board meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at 8:30 a.m. with public comments and is held in the school district's boardroom at 540 Glover St. in Marietta.

text: My buddy and I are sitting on 5 deer points for Wyoming and are trying to figure out where to hunt. Trying to decide between a few different areas that have high success rates with some decent trophy potential. Right now I'm looking at area 34, 37, 84 and 60 with the first two mentioned being the most likely. Would love any input anyone has on which hunt would be the best. Trophy potential is a consideration along with an overall fun hunt where a guy could hunt hard and see some bucks. Not looking to hunt private land where I have to pay a trespass fee. Thanks for any advice you might have.

OPEN to Emotion.
by Jennifer Sey
Though I love memoirs, I'm not a fan of the sports tell all. I generally avoid books with a picture of the author on the cover. They tend to paint a rosy but meager hard work pays off! picture that I find specious and incomplete.
And so, I was knocked off my rails by Andre Agassi's memoir, OPEN. For me, it was one of those rare books about something "small" (tennis) that helps you see something "big" and in this way, it was a revelation. I could not get enough. I didn't want it to be over. I could have read about every cut throat match he won or lost until next February. The exhausting rallies, the missed serves, the back pain, the bad calls, the "just don't miss" approach to tiring his opponents out. Not sure why I found that part so fascinating given I don't even watch tennis. But I suppose it was the way he describes what it feels like to compete. To perform. To exceed one's physical limitations. At its best and its worst. The fear. The pain - both physical and emotional. The giving everything, the giving up. The wanting it more than anything. The not having it ever be enough.
He captured the ambivalence of his athletic destiny with captivating honesty. Rare that athletes talk of their experience this way. Most often we readers are plied with saccharine, sentimental triumph-over-adversity tales that reflect none of the "I hate tennis" candor of OPEN. Athletes can hate their sport. And love it all the while. Life is strange that way. There is something inherently truthful about ambivalence. As I get older (and older), I realize that being sure of anything is nothing short of folly.
Still, the thing that most struck me was his absolute and utter commitment to straightforward emotion. No ambivalence there. This is me. This is how I feel. Right now, this is how I feel. There was no intellectualizing, hedging, waxing or waning. He was mad. Or frustrated. Or plain old fucking pissed off. Or he was in love. Truly madly deeply kismet style in love with Stefanie Graff. Or he was desperately disappointed in himself. For losing. For a failed marriage. For using drugs to escape that disappointment. He just laid it out there pure and simple.
I feel a rotting rebellion and loneliness in my gut. A pink Mohawk might help… I'm in love with a woman I hardly know. I will fill her room with flowers and patiently wait, despite the gnawing misery and anxiety, until she realizes she loves me back.
The lack of cynicism, the purity of emotion expressed was exhilarating to read. The prose glittered with transparency. Clean in a dirty cynical world. Even entirely unflattering emotions were shared without equivocation. There seemed to be no fear of tarnishing his "image" by admitting to ugly feelings (and acts). It was a celebration of emotional honesty.
I want this. I want to live this way.
Yes me too! after i read Beautiful Boy i was completely freaked out for months! Please no teenaged meth addiction!
Thanks for this, Jennifer. The worst thing we can do for our kids is protect them and hover over them (hello helicopter parents, are you listening?) and not let them fail. That's how we learn; not by being scolded or punished or told, but by making mistakes and being held accountable.
And by honesty, yours and theirs.
Still, I'm hoping my teens reject the meth!!

A Call to Action: Support the Cake Girls!Monday, April 26th, 2010
We just recently learned about the fire that destroyed the Cake Girls cake shop in downtown Chicago.
Brenda Maher was about to drive to work at Cakegirls early this morning when her sister Mary called sobbing. The upscale Lake View bakery that the pair launched from scratch in 2003 was engulfed in flames.
"I just couldn't believe it," said Maher, who rushed to the store from her home in Portage Park. "When I saw it I felt like I was going to throw up. I just felt nauseous."
"We put a lot of work into this business," she had said hours earlier. "Now in a flash it doesn't exist. This is devastating. This is our livelihood. We built this from nothing."
The building at 2209 W. Belmont Ave., with Cakegirls on its ground level, was judged a total loss, with firefighters battling the blaze only to keep it from spreading.
By the time the Maher sisters arrived on the scene, they said water was pouring out of the charred structure, carrying blackened debris and cake frosting into the street.
The entrepreneurial ladies, though, aren't about to let a fire get them down. In order to maintain their employees salaries while waiting rebuild (and lacking the space to build cakes!), they are selling t-shirts. Consider buying one here: http://www.thecakegirls.com/

The storms and heavy rainfall didn't cooperate with film crews setting up Tuesday in Kenansville, Duplin County to shoot scenes for the upcoming "Iron Man 3" movie.
The plan was to close down about a 200 yard stretch of Highway 11 from 6 o'clock til between 3 and 5 in the morning on Wednesday. But the rain was so heavy that well after the road was supposed to be closed, it was still open and no movie scenes were being filmed.
The movie has already filmed in Wilmington and Cary. People in Kenansville, like Michael Usher, are excited a little bit of Hollywood is coming to their town. "I caught wind that they were actually filming "Iron Man 3" today so I was like yeah, I need to come on down and check it out. I only stay a few miles away, might as well come out and see something you know."
Usher's friend Lance Shoaf said, "This town's very small and having actors that come around from Los Angeles and Hollywood, everybody's out here."
The movie stars Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson.
Crews on scene were unable to speak on camera due to legal obligations, but they said shooting started around 1:00 in the afternoon indoors.
The same shooting schedule is set for Wednesday.

GU Energy Gel
I have tried all the flavors of the GU energy gel. The one that tastes the best to me are the strawberry banana and the peanut butter. The chocolate is way too filling and the mocha (caffeine in the ingredients) make me feel way too thirsty during the run. Just this year running has become a very successful hobby of mine. While training for my fist half marathon I used GU. The first flavor I used was strawberry banana. The texture was comparable to syrup. The next few flavors I tried were the caramel,… Full review
GU Energy Gel

They don't make me sick even on extended runs and they don't seem to cause a sugar high and crash. What I really hate is the taste and texture, like a mouth full of cheap canned frosting. In the cold it can be even thicker. Full review

I was inspired when I heard the president say in his state of the union address that his number one priority for 2010 would be jobs. Now I am disappointed that Washington seems to think my job doesn't | Read More »
