Weekends in NYC are packed with festivals, performances, exhibitions and more—many of them free. See what's in store below, plus check out our events page and Save the Date tool for even more things to do.
November 29–December 1
Friday, November 29
George Balanchine's The Nutcracker
It's likely you already know the story—and it's certain that no New York City holiday season is complete without seeing this production. The glittering classic, performed annually by the New York City Ballet since 1954, has become one of the City's signature family-friendly traditions. Expect to warm your spirit with visions of the Sugarplum Fairy and, naturally, the Nutcracker.
Lighting of the World's Largest Hanukkah Menorah
Gather around the 32-foot-high, gold-colored, 4,000-pound steel holiday icon at Grand Army Plaza (Fifth Avenue and West 59th Street, across the street from The Plaza hotel) to pay homage to the annual Jewish Festival of Lights.
The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park
Satisfy those on your shopping list and get into the spirit of the season with a trip to The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park. More than 125 merchants fill the park through early January selling clothing, jewelry, household items, crafts, art and more. Plus, indulge in some warm and gooey treats from the vendors and go ice-skating at the Rink at Winter Village (free for guests who bring their own skates!).
Saturday, November 30
Small Business Saturday
Kick off your holiday shopping by supporting the mom-and-pop shop right around the corner during this nationwide event. For the fourth year in a row, American Express is partnering with a number of organizations to encourage customers to shop at small businesses the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Independent small businesses create jobs, are a boon to the local economy and offer great gifts and goods, which makes supporting them even more important to your community. For more information, visit shopsmall.com—and even after November 30, remember to support local businesses.
Downtown Brooklyn Holiday Lights and Trolley
Enjoy tours of Downtown Brooklyn aboard the Holiday Trolley, which operates four consecutive Saturdays between Thanksgiving and Christmas and features special activities like carolers and even a visit from Santa Claus.
Origami Holiday Tree
Holiday decor gets a crafty makeover with the American Museum of Natural History's annual Origami Holiday Tree. For this year's theme, "Wicked, Wise and Wonderful," the museum has drawn inspiration from its Power of Poison exhibition to create the 500 folded-paper works that will adorn the 13-foot tree. After exploring the permanent exhibition halls, current shows (including the Power of Poison) and expansive collections, check out the tree to see which toxin-carrying creatures have been transformed into elegantly crimped ornaments.
Sunday, December 1
The Shadows Took Shape
This exhibit makes uses of Afrofuturist aesthetics to explore contemporary art. Since its coinage by Mark Dery in 1994, afrofuturism has been used by artists, writers and theorists as a framework to see and explore the past, present and future. Owing its title to a Sun Ra poem, this exhibit features more than sixty works, highlighted by 10 new commissions from artists working in photography, video, painting, drawing and sculpture.
The Grinch's Holiday Workshop
The Grinch and his holiday workshop arrive at the Children's Museum of Manhattan in an interactive exhibition inspired by Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Kids will enjoy seeing scenes from the book covering gallery walls, and they can participate in a scavenger hunt, play in a real-life sleigh and take part in other ongoing Seuss-related holiday programming.
Front Row: Chinese American Designers
Today is your last chance to see this exhibition at the Museum of Chinese in America, which explores the history and influence of New York's Chinese-American fashion designers, including Derek Lam, Wayne Lee and Vera Wang.

Art History: Henri Rousseau Jungle Collage
We studied the artist, Henri Rousseau, last month for Art in the Schools.
The lesson I designed for the school (grades Kindergarten - 6th grade)
involved creating a cut paper Jungle Animals and Plants collage inspired by his beautiful paintings.
We used construction paper, marker, and recycled Wrapping Paper scraps
(from our fall school fundraiser project.)
We also just had a school-wide display/exhibit
of some of the Art in the Schools projects from the past two months.
I love the way this class decided to do the project as a whole class collage
instead of individual projects!
instead of individual projects!
(Henri Rousseau collages and our Faith Ringgold Paper Quilts --I'll have more photos of them next!)
I apologize for the quality of the photos, they were taken in poor hallway lighting
with my phone because I forgot my camera - ack!
I love the way the wrapping paper scraps
add fun and unexpected little patterns and colors!
Happy Collag-ing!

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (WUSA) -- Anne Arundel County Police seized various weapons at a man's home after he trespassed a high school in Glen Burnie.
On Monday, 25-year-old Justin Matthew Beaumont was seen trying to force his way into North County High School, located at 10 1st Ave. East, when a custodial employee noticed him, police say.
The employee quickly alerted the school officer but Beaumont was able to get into the school by following an employee into the building near the school's loading dock, police say.
The school officer quickly located Beaumont, who was identified after his arrest, and escorted him to the school's office where an investigation began.
No weapons or any illegal items were found on the 25-year-old when he was searched, however, an empty handgun holster was found in his car.
Beaumont told the officer he was a former student at the school and that he had been a victim of bullying. He also asked about school security and referenced his previous military experience.
Beaumont was charged with trespassing on posted property and was later released.
Due to Beaumont's responses during the interview, police served a search warrant at his home where they found several guns: an AK-47, loaded with a 30-round clip; an unloaded Uzi; an unloaded 22-caliber handgun; two unloaded 8MM bolt-action rifles; a 9MM barrel with a silencer; a handgun with a laser scope;and numerous boxes of ammunition.
All the weapons are legally owned but were seized pending additional investigations, Anne Arundel County Police say.
Beaumont now undergoing medical treatment.

GLEN DALE - Wheeling Central Catholic's three-year standouts Colleen McCormick and Emily Bucon combined for 43 points Wednesday night as the Maroon Knights knocked off previously undefeated John Marshall 77-63 during a heated in-your-face hacka-thon type battle at the Monarchs' gymnasium.
Fifty-nine fouls were called and the two teams took a total of 87 free throws with five players fouling out in the fourth quarter of a game the visitors led from start to finish. John Marshall was whistled for 35 fouls and had Kylie Howard, Bailey Filben, Morgan Watson, and Sissy George foul out.
The Maroon Knights were whistled for 24 personals and played the final 4:07 without Bucon. The West Liberty University recruit departed after scoring 18 of her 20 points during the first three quarters.
McCormick, able to stay on the floor through the stretch run despite also being saddled with four fouls, led the Central scoring with 23 points. Her leadership and court skills were sorely needed at the end, and she also drained five clutch free throws to blunt any hopes John Marshall had of a comeback.
At the free-throw stripe, Central (6-1) converted 32 of 54 attempts. John Marshall, desperately trying to catch up, put the Knights on the line 32 times in just the fourth quarter, and they managed to net 18 of those opportunities.
The Monarchs, meanwhile, struggled from both the field and the free-throw line, cashing just 21 of 69 field goal attempts and only 16 of 33 bonus shots.
Wheeling Central Coach Penn Kurtz wasn't surprised about the way the game was officiated.
''Actually this is how John Marshall games are played," he pointed out. ''They are always pretty physical and sometimes it depends on who runs out of players first.
''I was pleased with the way our kids held up, especially after Emily left the game. We had some young people out there and they missed some free throws but we finally made enough at the end to maintain our lead."
''Shocked'' was the word John Marshall Coach Mark McCormick used when asked about the hack-a-lot style of both teams.
''We have been aggressive from Day 1, and we never were called for that many fouls," McCormick said. ''But, they were calling them both ways.
''First and foremost, Central shot the lights out in the first quarter and we really got in a hole. I thought we played well and played hard. We are an up-tempo fast-paced team and at times we got a little haywire.
''Overall, we had good shots on the block that did not fall. Central did take away some of our dribble penetration and forced us to take some outside shots that we are accustomed to making. It just didn't happen (Wednesday night)."
Adding somewhat to the pain for the Monarchs' coach was watching his cousin, Colleen McCormick, do most of the damage.
McCormick, displaying her usual smooth moves in the post despite being heavily guarded by John Marshall senior standout Kylie Howard, scored eight points in the opening quarter.
Beth Stayduhar, draining her only field goal of the night, cashed a 3-pointer from the top of the key to open the scoring, followed by a McCormick turnaround shot that put Central in front 5-0. Following a Bucon free throw, John Marshall ended an 0-for-7 shooting drought at the outset with a nice stop and 3-point pop by Howard. Unfortunately for the Monarchs' Howard would hit only one more bucket attempt the rest of the night, going 2-for-14 from the floor and scoring nine points.
JM's scintillating freshman Tori Derrow picked up the slack and started off a 22-point outing for herself with a steal and driving layup that pulled the Monarchs to within 6-5. McCormick then would score six of the next eight Central points to start a run that put the visitors in front 20-10 after an opening quarter that saw the Knights connect on 9 of 13 shots.
Filben, another JM freshman, fired in a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 22-13 early in the second quarter but Central, behind seven points from sophomore Regan Blaha and six by Bucon extended its lead to 39-26 at the half.
Derrow had a huge third quarter, scoring 11 points, including firing in a couple of treys. However, the Monarchs were still down by 57-45 heading into the final eight minutes.
Emily Winters, who scored 13 for John Marshall, got a steal and layup starting the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to 10. The Monarchs got no closer the rest of the way.
Kurtz answered affirmatively when asked if he thought the 5-foot-11 McCormick was the best post player in the valley.
''I haven't seen one any better," he said. ''Indian Creek has a good kid but she is 6-5. Colleen is both smooth and smart. You saw that (Wednesday night) when she had four fouls and didn't foul out. After losing Emily, Colleen had to stay in the game.
''There was a lot to like despite all the fouls. When somebody like Emily Bucon fouls out, you still have players that were able to step in and maintain the lead for us.''
Joining McCormick and Bucon in double figures for Central was Lindsey Baker with 12 points.
JM's Mark McCormick also maintained his positive feelings after the game.
''We lost to an excellent team,'' he said. ''Our bench did a great job when we got in foul trouble. The bottom line is that we are 5-1 and heading in the right direction. We'll go back to work and get ready to play Union Local here Saturday afternoon."

One of the biggest challenges at present is dealing with the changing workplace and the millennial generation.
This has been taking place for some time, but it's an issue that's becoming more pronounced because of technology and social attitudes.
Ironically, this mirrors many of the discussions about women in the workplace back in the 1940s and 1950s. How do we deal with these people who think, act and respond differently? How do we incorporate them into the workplace effectively?
The millennial generation is driving some fundamental changes. Organizations are adopting new policies—particularly revolving around social responsibility, green issues and technology—as a result. This group is also not as concerned about traditional rules as previous generations. It's all about what matters to them; they're heavily driven by their own needs and desires. This includes connectedness through mobile technology and social media. Organizations shouldn't attempt to block the technology. They must learn how to incorporate it into the organization. This requires mobility and social media strategies as well as guidelines and polices.
We're also seeing a fundamental change in the role of the company in people's lives. From the 1950s to the turn of the century, the workplace was the provider of things, including health care, workspace and technology. But as we see the use of contract workers expand, some interesting changes are taking place.
For example, people are providing their own health care coverage. They may work from home and use their own equipment. But it's also changing the basic dynamics of labor. Businesses have less power to determine pay rates as well as rules and terms. They're more at the mercy of those who have technical skills and a high level of talent.
In addition, the skill sets that are valuable to organizations are changing. Those with college degrees in science, technology, engineering and math will be in greater demand over the long run. Those who lack skills are more expendable and less employable than they were in the past. So, even with an 8 to 10 percent unemployment rate, we're seeing a huge skill shortage. Organizations can't find the talent they require for the 21st century.
Succession planning is another area that's changing. Companies are a lot more concerned about protecting and developing their high-value talent than they were in the past. They're not only looking for new and innovative ways to keep top-tier talent engaged, but also succession planning is a key element of their business continuation strategy.
Finally, we've heard for years about the need for HR to become more strategic. The reality is that many executives have not been successful here. But as the organizational silos break down, this will no longer be permissible. HR must step into the boardroom and be fluent in the languages of finance, operations and technology.
Some of the biggest changes have occurred in recruiting, compensation and training. Although the basic role of HR hasn't changed significantly—it's still as important as ever to recruit the right person for the right job and provide adequate training—the way that these processes take place has changed dramatically.
It used to be that HR manually sorted through résumés; now we have computers handling much of this. Technology drives some improvements, but it's important to remember that it is only part of the picture. Organizations still require people to interview effectively and make good hiring decisions. You can't sidestep fundamental activities and processes by using technology.
During the 1990s, we saw the introduction of the Internet. It fundamentally changed communication structures in organizations and has created a more collaborative organization. But I think there's an underlying issue: We think that we communicate more, but I'm not convinced it's always better. There's also the issue of people doing all sorts of personal activities at work, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and others. Social media can either boost or detract from productivity. If someone is having a bad day, 500 'friends' know about it instantly.
Years ago we didn't have all the talk about 'offshoring' and 'onshoring.' Technology has contributed to basic changes in the way businesses operate. This is affecting labor and, ultimately, HR. There are growing questions whether the U.S. has the technical skills that are needed in today's digital economy. We are becoming a service economy, and there are long-term questions about how organizations are approaching this issue. Many companies are hiring part time in order to avoid paying benefits. There's a social cost to this. There's also a question about whether we will see service employee unionization.
At the same time we've witnessed the growth of independent contractors and the emergence of a 24-7 wired-in-work culture. At a certain point, it's unhealthy and detrimental to people's well-being to be connected to work all the time.
The baby boom has also affected the workplace. Many workers are getting older, and we are seeing more ageism. Younger workers cost companies less, but the downside is you have expertise and experience walking out the door. We also hear more and more about unfunded liability for defined benefit plans in the public sector. We're likely to see more of this in the private sector as well as more negotiating with unions to change defined benefit plans. These weren't significant issues 20 years ago.

Congrats Are In Order! Todd Bodine Clinched the Truck Series Title in Phoenix!

Bodine Officially The Champ After Phoenix
Mooresville, N.C. (11-13-2010) - After only 24 of 25 races in the 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season, Todd Bodine and Germain Racing's No. 30 Germain.com Tundra crew clinched the championship title. His 12th-place finish at Phoenix International Raceway gave him a 202-point lead over fellow Toyota driver Aric Almirola which locked up the title for Bodine. This is Germain Racing and Bodine's second Truck Series championship title.
"During the past five years, we have been one of the most consistent teams in the Camping World Truck Series," says Bodine. "I can't thank the guys on this Germain Racing team enough for all their hard work over the years, both at the track and in the shop. We've had some ups and downs since our 2006 championship, but this one is extra special to share with the Germain family, the Hillman family and all the sponsors who have supported us throughout the year."
The 2010 Truck Series title marks the fourth NASCAR driver's championship for Toyota since the manufacturer entered the sport in 2004. Germain Racing has given Toyota two of those four titles - 2006 and 2010. The No. 30 Germain.com Tundra also contributed heavily to this season's Tundra win count of 14 wins in 24 races by collecting four victories so far.
"We have been blessed with a great team of supporters. At the top of the list is the Germain family for having the vision to start this team. And then you go directly to Toyota, because Toyota is the reason the Germain's started this team. Germain Motor Company proudly operates four Toyota and three Lexus franchises, so winning this championship is a win not just for everyone at Germain Racing - in the shop and in the pits - but it's a win for all of the Germain Motor Company employees, vendors and partners that are behind this No. 30 Germain.com Tundra team," said crew chief Mike Hillman Jr., who has held the reigns for this team through both championship wins.
Germain Racing has enjoyed support from several sponsors throughout the seasons. This year, Valvoline and GEICO both took their turns adorning the hood of the No. 30 Tundra.
"The support of sponsors like Valvoline and GEICO have helped keep this team focused on winning. This championship is as much theirs as it is ours, and we are happy to have been able to turn in such exciting performances as we have done this season for Valvoline and GEICO and for our long-time team sponsor, Germain Motor Company," said Hillman.
Bodine and the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra team now turn their focus on the 2010 Truck Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday night, November 19th. The team's four wins is still one shy of their all-time season high of five wins, earned in 2005. You can bet that Bodine, Hillman and all the faces behind the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra will be focused on getting their favorite race truck, TRD-131, into victory lane one more time. The truck has collected three of the four wins this season and will be sporting a special, updated paint scheme at Homestead.
Watch Friday's 134 laps of Miami racing live on SPEED starting at 7:30 PM ET or tune in to your local MRN affiliate.

Grand and GreatWritten by on March 17, 2004 Contributors: Rich Boyd The 55th Annual Grand National Roadster Show
For the first time in its 55-year history, the Grand National Roadster Show (GNRS) was held in Southern California at the Los Angeles County Fairplex in Pomona, California. Certainly the oldest, and regarded by many as the most famous indoor rod and custom show, the GNRS started at the Oakland Coliseum as the Oakland Roadster Show 5-1/2 decades ago.
In recent years, a greater effort has been made to find a more suitable venue during January. The show's former producer, Donald Tognotti of Show Promotions, moved the GNRS to South San Francisco, and current owners Dan and Charlene Cyr, of Dan Cyr Enterprises, eventually relocated to the Fairplex in San Mateo, California.
Competition from the Sacramento show has reduced the number of attendees to the GNRS in recent years. Since Southern California is the mecca for all things automotive, moving the show to Southern California was a logical business decision. However, with more than a half-century tradition, moving the event around hasn't been without a fair amount of controversy. But, if you were one of the many fortunate participants, vendors, or attendees, you experienced the overwhelming fact that the 2004 show was a huge success on several points.
Walking the aisles in one of the three buildings was like visiting your favorite mall at Christmas. Being more accustomed to covering outdoor shows, we were struck by the crowds of lusting gearheads who flocked to see the shimmering hot-rod haulers, roadsters, dragsters, various vendors, motorcycles, street rods, hot rods, and the artful dioramas that housed the rolling and rumbling running works of industrial art. With so many attendees craning to view the latest hot-rod creations, we had to escape outdoors at times, where vendors such as Moon Eyes and American Racing Wheels had more throngs of potential paying customers.
The 55th Annual Grand National Roadster Show wrapped up on Sunday, January 25, 2004, setting a new attendance record for the first time the show was located in the Pomona Fairplex. Dan Cyr told CCT that the West Coast's Premiere hot rod and custom car show would return to Pomona in 2005 and perhaps extend its stay even longer. Dan Cyr stated, "Southern California is the birthplace of the hot rod and has the highest concentration of automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts, as well as professional builders in the country.
The 2004 Grand National Roadster Show drew the highest quality of vehicles ever on display, and only time will tell if the tradition for excellence will continue. We have confidence that the rolling works of art will do as the show has done -- they will evolve as necessary to continue to draw the crowds who come to see the finest hot rods and customs on the planet."
CCT was pleased to find a large number of the outstanding vehicles were trucks and commercial vehicles. Here are some of those we found most outstanding, as well as a list of the show's Special Awards recipients for 2004.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The Arkansas Senate has given final legislative approval to two bills to tighten the state's laws on tattoos and piercings.
The Senate passed both bills on Thursday.
One bill would prohibit body artists from performing sub-dermal implants - which involve inserting objects beneath the skin. The bill also originally included a ban on scarification - the etching the skin to produce a decorative scar. But after complaints from the tattoo industry and other lawmakers it was amended to give the Health Department discretion to regulate that practice.
The other bill prohibits body art procedures on minors under 16 years old except for ear piercings. It also limits piercings on those younger than 18.
The state currently has no age limit on body art if parental consent is given.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - After being pushed around by the New York Knicks
in the first three games of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, the
Boston Celtics showed some fight.
Jason Terry scored Boston's final nine points of overtime, beginning with a
tie-breaking 3-pointer with 1:32 left, and the Celtics staved off elimination
with a hard-earned 97-90 Game 4 decision over the Knicks at a raucous TD
Terry finished with 18 points, with Paul Pierce putting up a team-best 29 and
Jeff Green adding 26 to help Boston force a Game 5 that will be held Wednesday
at Madison Square Garden. Kevin Garnett did his part as well by pulling down
17 rebounds and recording nine of his 13 points in the second half and OT.
Playing without NBA Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith, suspended for the
contest after being assessed with a flagrant elbow of Terry during Friday's
90-76 New York victory in Game 3, the Knicks struggled to a 34.4 percent field
goal percentage. New York still managed to overcome a 20-point second-half
deficit and send the game into extra minutes behind a dominant third quarter,
during which Raymond Felton dropped in 16 of his 27 points.
Carmelo Anthony topped the Knicks with 36 points, but went just 10-of-35 from
the floor and 0-for-7 from 3-point range. Iman Shumpert compiled a double-
double of 12 points and 12 rebounds in defeat.

I'm a zimbra newbie. I'm very interesting to implement greylisting and I try to configure cbpolicyd. I followed the instruction on wiki
and I enable greylistingCode:zmprov ms myservername +zimbraServiceEnabled cbpolicyd
The service start normally but greylisting don't work. In the server configuration I see that Policyd chekbox is disabled (no enabled to checked). I was found on a site this commandCode:zmlocalconfig -e cbpolicyd_module_greylisting=1
The checbox is now enabled, but when I try to check it, there is a strange message regards MTA serviceCode:zmprov ms myservername +zimbraServiceInstalled cbpolicyd +zimbraServiceEnabled cbpolicyd
.Enabling the MTA service will also enable the MTA related statistics sections for this server. You may need to refresh your browser for these changes to take effect.
When I save and return to configuration, the Policyd checkbox is again not checked. The popup window on the attribute says
Attribute Name _undefined_cbpolicyd
Where I'm wrong ?
P.S.: Sorry for my poor English.

Roast Coffee Pairing #21: Light Roast/Dark Roast
This week we roasted the same coffee: Kenya Nyeri AA – Kagumo Coop to two different levels. The first batches were roasted to City+ and the resultant cup is super sweet and wonderful, really the ideal roast level for this coffee. It was counterintuitive to roast the rest of the batches all the way to Full City as the cup changes considerably and more bittersweet notes dominate. As Tom mentions in the review the profile becomes a bit more aggressive at darker roast levels and this might suit some tastes very well. But for me, the lighter roast of this coffee is so much more flavorful and sweet. See what you think and try this experiment with your own roasting, so much can be learned from roasting the same coffee in different ways. City+ roast took 13 minutes, final thermoprobe temp. of 420, Full City took 14 minutes final thermoprobe temp. of 438. If you examine both coffees visually there doesn't seem to be much difference but the cup really reveals the subtle shifts in flavor that occur when you go from one roast level to the next. Try experimenting with blending the two roasts together before brewing for yet another flavor profile.

St. Paul, MN (Sports Network) - Dany Heatley tallied a pair of power play
goals and Zach Parise added two assists in his Wild debut, as the new-look
Minnesota Wild earned a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche in the season
opener for both teams on Saturday at Xcel Energy Center.
Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter were both part of Minnesota's offseason
overhaul, as the Wild signed the pair to matching 13-year, $98 million
contracts on July 4.
Mikael Granlund and Pierre-Marc Bouchard notched a goal apiece, while Mikko
Koivu finished with two assists for the Wild, who missed the playoffs for a
fourth straight year last season.
Niklas Backstrom stopped 25 shots in the victory.
John Mitchell and Cody McLeod each scored for the Avalanche, who missed the
postseason for the fourth time in six seasons last year. Semyon Varlamov
allowed all four goals on 35 shots.

For 2008 3rd Round draft pick.....According to KFAN (Minneapolis Sports Radio)
I thought they would want Bret.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
That would be awesome. Maybe I would go watch a game if he was playing for them.

Wouldn't he still be a back-up to Jackson???
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'

nooooooooo i cant cheer for the vikings!!!
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
I would love it! This year I became a better Vikes fan and it would make them my fav. team for sure. Fred was the reason I became a Wolves fan.
I have loved him being in Houston - it gives me a chance to pull for the Texans and get to see him play.... I'd be sad if we lost him to the Vikes :(
He may even get to start in Houston after a year.
He has a good chance at starting for the Vikings.
I know my wife would be esatic if Sage ends up with the Vikes, she'll probably be one of the first to get a Rosenfels Jersey
Every time I learn something new, something old gets pushed out of my brain
I would be in favor of that, if for no other reason than the Vikings are on tv around here more often than the Texans.
I bet sage will be the starter for most of the season
I really hope this deal gets done. With the Vikes weakness in the QB department I've always thought it would be neat if they went after Sage or Senaca.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - For Maryland, being unbeaten and ranked in the Top 25 was fun while it lasted.
Now, after being jolted back to reality with a 63-0 loss to Florida State last Saturday, the Terrapins will try and get past the humbling defeat.
Senior guard De'Onte Arnett called it "a wake-up call." He said Tuesday the Terps were caught up in being ranked and lost their focus.
Maryland also lost quarterback C.J. Brown, who sustained a concussion in the second quarter. His status for Saturday's game against Virginia is uncertain, according to coach Randy Edsall.
Edsall says "the mood of the team is good" despite the loss last week.
Saturday's ACC game against the Cavaliers could be the last between the border rivals because Maryland moves to the Big Ten next year.

The following is an industry press release...
Lake Forest, Ca. - Asterisk is pleased to announce the release of its new Cyto Cell Knee Protection System. The Cyto Cell has been created as more of a price-friendly, entry-level knee brace. Asterisk has always prided itself on its second-to-none design and actual functional protective features of the original Cell and the flagship Ultra Cell. The knee brace market has grown over the years with brands who have no background knowledge in knee mechanics, or knee bracing. This has created a class of knee brace that is less than satisfactory, at best. With this in mind, we felt it was our duty to provide a product that is less expensive, but still capable of comfortably protecting the intricate knee joint.
The Cyto Cell is based on the same anatomically correct frame and intricate, eight-sphere hinge design found on our Ultra Cell. We were able to simplify some of the components and reduce costs while maintaining the philosophy and features we believe essential to a knee brace. The Cyto Cell retails for $249 each.
The Cyto Cell is available at your local authorized Asterisk Dealer. For more info on the Cyto Cell, Call Asterisk at 1 (800) 459-2999. The Cyto Cell will be available on our website on January 31st. Visit us at www.asterisk.com.

Santa Clara, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon
Davis and safety Eric Reid are questionable for Sunday's road test against New
Orleans, with both players dealing with concussions.
Davis suffered the injury in the second quarter of last week's 10-9 loss to
Carolina after dropping a pass near the goal line. Reid was also injured
against the Panthers when he tried to make a tackle on fullback Mike Tolbert.
Bother players were limited in practice throughout the week and are joined by
wide receiver Mario Manningham (knee), running back Bruce Miller (hamstring)
and linebacker Dan Skuta (foot) as questionable for Sunday.
Defensive tackle Ray McDonald will miss his first game of the year due to an
ankle injury that caused him to miss practice all week, while backup tight end
Garrett Celek is doubtful to play due to a hamstring injury.

I am moving from a qmailrocks install to Zimbra. I have successfully installed Zimbra on a test machine and used imapsync for getting my mail from my Qmail server to Zimbra. Went surprisingly well.
While everything looks great from the Zimbra webmail side, today I decided to fire up Thunderbird and see how the IMAP side of things looks. Well, in Thunderbird, I have my inbox and trash - and thats it. While all the mail is there in my inbox that should be, I do not have my 20-ish personal folders as seen on the webmail.
Also, when I send an email from Thunderbird, it creates its own "Sent" folder - it doesn't use the Zimbra sent folder. So now when I look at the webmail, I have 2 "sent" folders... I have not tested this with Outlook, but I assume the same results.
Is this problem from my migration? A setting in Zimbra I'm missing? IMAP issues?
I'd like to get this resolved before migrating to a production server.

Comments about ... Blue Cowboy Hat (each):
All 13 kids at the party made sure to take these hats home with them to continue enjoying their cowgirl/boy experience! The hats were durable enough that they could be taken home after a couple hours of play. The colors of both the blue and pink hats were as shown. The only minor malfunction was the little plastic pull thing to tighten under the chin didn\'t seem to stay tightened on all the hats.

Anyone got any good recipes for cooking over an open flame?
Especially for breakfast (Bunch of guys)
In the past we've grabbed all the meat we cooked the night before that didn't get eaten and mix it up with a couple dozen eggs. Thinking about getting a little more civilized this year.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Get a dutch oven. tons of stuff you can cook in those things.
I've not done it, but I know guys who use dutch ovens to make a variety of camp favorites (like apple cobbler, etc). Look up dutch oven recipes as there are stews, etc that look real good.
Aside from the old stand by of hot dogs, I've not done a whole lot of over fire cooking. They make pretty nifty accessories in the camp section to do burgers/fish. You can also rig up a grill type set up if you want to do some corn, steak, other grill type items.
The campground we stay at does have grill attachments on top of the firepits so we do a lot of burgers/brats/fish we catch
I gave my wife a dutch oven last night. She wasn't impressed.
However, to be actually helpful, yes, dutch ovens are awesome for camping. Ate all weekend, this was the only pot I used. Biscuits for breakfast, various soups/stews/casseroles, and even scrambled eggs were done in the dutch oven.
What was that thing we used to eat back in the day? What was it... oh yeah, smores!
Foil packs are good, put a burger with diced up onions, potatos, and carrots. Wrap up in couple layers of aluminum foil and cook right on the hot coals.
Dutch ovens are mandatory for campfire cooking imo.
Outside of that in scouts we used to always make "tin foil dinners". All you do is throw however much meat, veggies, spices etc. in some tinfoil fold it up and lay it on there. After turning it a few times your set. Takes maybe five minutes ish to cook.
edit: 2020cy beat me to it
I take a griddle with me (available at places like JAX). For breakfast: Bacon, eggs, corn beef hash, and pancakes (get the mix that you just add water and shake).
I have recently gone from a wood fire to charcoal because the smoke was kiling my eyes!

My friends and I went camping all time time and either grilled or cooked "Hobo Meal" which consisted of meat, potatoes, onion and gratuitous amounts of butter wrapped in foil. Throw it on the fire till cooked through, then eat straight out of the foil (who needs plates?).
As long as you have aluminum foil, you can cook just about anything.

I camp almost every weekend in the summer. I dont have a camper so we are use to doing things on our own. If you plan on going all the time Id get one of these.
Amazon.com: Camp Chef Camping Outdoor Oven with 2 Burner Camping Stove: Kitchen & Dining
Propane oven. You can use it to cook and bake anything, 1lb bottle lasts 7 hours.
If you dont want to committ to something like that, I reccomend using a pot with a lid and taking a log and splitting it several ways. As you can see in the picture, you then place your pan or pot on top and cook whatever you need. the benefits of this is you have a stand to set food on with the fire underneath, no sand or dirt popping up into your food. This is especially helpful in places like moab or sandy beaches ect. Obviously you know how to make meat and eggs ect. My favorite thing to make is cut up a bunch of taters real slim, dump lowerys and a ton of peppers and throw them in tin foil with butter. The key is wrap them tight. Throw them in the pot or fire, careful not to let them burn (thats why i use a propane oven).
Also, if you camp a lot I would get one of these
Amazon.com: ARB 10800472 Fridge Freezer- 50 Quart: Automotive
Ends your need for ice because you can keep meat ect for days. This is helpful if youre up in the mountains ect for days. Also awesome for tailgating.
Anyone interested, http://www.expeditionportal.com forums have about a billion product reviews for things like this.
Edit: the arb fridges are not bear proof, that is an expensive mistake.

BUCKFIELD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Investigators say a wood stove is to blame for a fire that destroyed a mobile home in Buckfield Saturday night.
Buckfield Fire Chief Tim Brooks said crews were called to a mobile home on Back Bryant Road shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, and when they arrived on scene, the home was fully engulfed in flames.
One person was home at the time, but he escaped injury and was able to make it out safely.
Chief Brooks said crews remained on scene for three hours controlling the fire and putting out hot spots.
Brooks said it appears the fire started in the wood stove at the mobile home, and the home is considered a total loss.
Crews from Paris, Sumner, Turner, and Hebron assisted the Buckfield Fire Department on scene.
Brooks said the person who was home at the time of the fire is staying with family nearby.
