Hanging Out: A Tribute to My Clothesline
All I wanted for Mother's Day this year was this retractable clothesline. I know, lame. But I couldn't have been happier when my boys gave it to me. I love it!
My mom hung out our clothes on the line growing up. We were the only people I knew who did that. Other than the stiff towels and jeans, I never thought twice about it. But I do remember being completely embarrassed whenever my great aunties from New Zealand visited and their giant panties were flapping in the wind for all the neighbors to see. {We lived on an acre of land and there were no fences to hide the line.}
Having a clothesline in sunny, dry Colorado is even more efficient than in hot, humid Texas where I grew up. Here my clothes dry within an hour or so and our sun is so bright that my cloth diapers have never been whiter.
In fact, cloth diapering is what really motivated me to get a clothesline. After over a year and a half of use, The Noodle's cloth diapers were starting to retain an odor despite all sorts of attempts to get rid of it. The first time I dried them on the line, the smell was totally gone.Another awesome benefit of line drying is the cost savings. We've noticed a considerable reduction in our electricity bill. We've only used the dryer a couple times all summer and what a difference that makes!
I'm sure some people would consider hanging their clothes out to be a time-consuming hassle. I've actually found that I'm more productive and on-top of my laundry chores than before. The kids want to be outside playing in the yard all of the time so it's easy to be out there with them hanging out clothes. And when the clothes are dry, I fold and sort them in the basket as I take them down. I had a tendency to let dry clothes sit in the dryer all day {or longer} waiting for me to fold them and put them away. Now I do it all at once.
The only disadvantages I've found so far are dealing with unexpected rain showers {though that very rarely happens here} and towels so stiff they could stand up on their own. The remedy for the towels is to throw them in the dryer for five minutes once you bring them in. No biggie.
I love the particular clothesline we got too. It's mounted to the side of our house and pulls out to clip onto a tree in our yard. When I'm not using it, I retract it. You wouldn't even know it's there when it's not pulled out. No big poles or lines to look at. It has 5 lines which is great for accommodating several large loads of laundry at a time.
As for pegs, my clever Hubby suggested I make a fanny pack type apron to hold the pegs in.
Please ignore my 9 months pregnant belly in this photo.
I made this one using two placemats I found on clearance at Target. Random but it does the job perfectly and the thicker placemat material makes it really durable. Although the boys initially had been offering to hold my bucket of pegs for me as I hung out the clothes, I'm sure their enthusiasm would have tapered after a few weeks. The dorky fanny pack was just what I needed.
So, do you have a clothesline? What are your thoughts on line drying?
If you want to read up more on the benefits of line drying, check out these articles:
I was not reimbursed for my opinion regarding the Sunline brand of clotheslines. I do not have any connection with the sites referenced above and may not support specific agendas promoted by them. I simply found the line-drying articles there to be helpful and informative.

Scout who drafted Griffey, A-Rod helped launch Beinfest's career
Roger Jongewaard was one of those baseball giants who nobody outside the game recognizes.
Everyone recognizes his handiwork.
The long-time scouting director of the Seattle Mariners, who died Monday of a heart attack, was responsible for drafting Ken Griffey, Jr., Alex Rodriguez and numerous other notable major-leaguers.
Jongewaard also helped Larry Beinfest, Marlins president of baseball operations, lay the foundation for his career when he was starting out with the Mariners in 1990.
"He taught me a lot of what I do know about scouting and player evaluation," Beinfest said. "He just had a great feel. He just knew how to evaluate a player. That's a gift, and he had it."
With the Mariners, Jongewaard hired Dan Jennings, now the Marlins' vice president of player personnel. It was Jennings who delivered the news of Jongewaard's death to Beinfest during the Marlins' game Monday against the Red Sox.
Beinfest hired Jongewaard in 2007 to scout for the Marlins, evaluating major and minor league players, mainly on the West Coast.
"You'd always look at his reports and say, 'Ooh, it's a Roger report.' You'd give it a little more weight," Beinfest said. "But what really stands out is the person. Just a great guy. He had a great feel for the game. Wonderful teacher, really gentle, nice man. We'll miss him."
According to lore, Jongewaard had to plead with then-Mariners owner George Argyros to select Griffey rather than Cal State Fullerton pitcher Mike Harkey.
Other players Jongewaard was influencial in drafting included Darryl Strawberry, Billy Beane, Len Dykstra, Kevin Mitchell, Tino Martinez, Ron Villone, Derek Lowe, Jason Varitek, Jose Cruz Jr. and Gil Meche.
"He hit big at least on a couple of them. But there were a lot of successes along they way under his drafts," said Beinfest, who soaked up all the knowledge he could while working with Jongewaard.
"A lot of it was osmosis. With him you just listened and you watched. It wasn't so much asking questions, it was just listening to him and watching games with him. That's where I learned a lot of things."

Kreep Rush
Tower Defense Lair Quest
Shadowy Forest
Keep Rush is the tower defense lair quest in Shadowy Forest. This quest was added as part of the Battle in the Big Apple, content update 1.4. The quest consists of one objective:
- Place the barrels to lure the tangled Kreeps
The quest takes place at 965, 392. This triggers a defense quest wherein the party must defend against waves of lair mobs. Triggering the quest 'Seedy Underbelly,' provides a barrel which helps with this quest. The Seedy Underbelly token provides a short duration AOE cleanse. This is highly useful for the 1-4 pack of this fight.
This quest involves progressive packs of Shadowy Forest lair mobs. The most dangerous are the creeps which spew cone and persistent AOE dots. These packs can come from opposite directions, so a 2-tank group pulling from opposite directions is helpful.
The hardest pull of this fight is a single creep from one side who is immediately aided by four of the same from the far side. Our tactic is to focus fire on the solo and then have that tank pull one of the four-pack off the other tank.
This quest rewards patterns for the lair boss, Dacian Pureblood.

Another in the long line of Squaw Valley powder hounds, Bryce Bennett blasted onto the U.S. Ski Team in the same way he hucks cliffs at Squaw – by going big. (Sarah Brunson/U.S. Ski Team)

Jared Goldberg (Holladay, UT) was the top placed American in Friday's Audi FIS World Cup Alpine super combined event on the Lauberhorn track in Wengen.
Eighteen U.S. athletes will be competing this weekend in downhill, combined, slalom and giant slalom in the Audi FIS World Cup events in Wengen and Flachau.
Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley, CA) and his U.S. teammates tackled one of the most challenging downhill tracks on the Audi FIS Alpine World Cup circuit Tuesday, where just making it to the finish line was a victory.
Bryce Bennett led the U.S. men and scored a career-best finish at Saturday's Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup downhill.
Andrew Weibrecht reminded ski racing fans that he is still a threat in downhill, tying for fifth place after starting 34th at the Birds of Prey downhill.
The sun has been shining on the famous Birds of Prey downhill track the last two days, but don't be mistaken – it has been cold and the conditions have been perfect.
After a solid three days of training, Travis Ganong (Squaw Valley, CA) threw down a fast run on Saturday to grab third place at the Lake Louise downhill.
At 6'7", Bryce Bennett towers over his competition. But don't let that height fool you—he's not good at basketball and he is a gentle giant with a great attitude, a strong sense of fearlessness and serious love for the sport.
The 2015/16 alpine season starts now with spring training camps in Mammoth Mountain and Arapahoe Basin.
t was a tough day in Kvitfjell, with 21 DNFs in the Audi FIS Ski World Cup super G. Only 38 racers made it down the difficult course, with Andrew Weibrecht tying his career-best super G result in fifth place.
In the penultimate Audi FIS Ski World Cup downhill of the season, the men were thirsty for results—looking to tighten the race for the overall downhill globe. Travis Ganong was the top American downhiller of the day, finishing in sixth place.

Another in the long line of Squaw Valley powder hounds (Julia Mancuso, Marco Sullivan, Travis Ganong), Bryce Bennett blasted onto the U.S. Ski Team in the same way he hucks cliffs at Squaw – by going big. An invite to a 2011 spring tryout camp proved to be the only opportunity he needed, as he successfully punched a ticket onto the team by showing coaches his form on the hard stuff is just as solid as it is in the fluff.
Bennett opened the 2013-14 season with a bang, winning the U.S. downhill title on the U.S. Ski Team Speed Center at Copper Mountain in early December. He made a major play for an Olympic nod with starts in Lake Louise, Bormio, Wengen and Kitzbuehel, but with a stacked men's speed team, Sochi was a tough ticket to punch. Bennett then refocused on the NorAm tour and delivered the downhill title, solidifying his World Cup start for the 2015 World Championship season, which is nice.

Finland released their roster for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia on Tuesday. On it was a very familiar name in forward Teemu Selanne.
This will mark the sixth Olympic appearance for Selanne, tying fellow Fin Raimo Helminen (1984-2002) for the all-time record. Selanne served as captain of the 2002 team in Salt Lake City, Utah.
With 37 points in 31 games, Selanne enters the tournament as the Olympics all-time leading scorer. He was named the best forward of the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy in 2006; leading the tournament in scoring with 11 points. He also led the tournament in scoring in 1998 with 10 points and in goals in 1992 with seven. Finland has earned three medals with Selanne; winning a silver (2006) and two bronzes (1998 & 2010).
In his illustrious international career, Selanne has represented Finland a total of 103 times in 15 tournaments. Selanne has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) this season for the Anaheim Ducks. In his career, Selanne has accumulated 1,441 points in 1,421 games over the course of 21 seasons.
Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen will also be on the Finnish roster; but former Finland captain Saku Koivu will not, after declining Finland's invitation.
"It would be a different scenario if our team wasn't doing well and were out of the playoffs," said Koivu. "The way things have gone for us, we're hoping and we're confident we can make a push in the playoffs.
That's where everyone wants to be at their top level. That also had an effect on my decision."
Also heading to the Olympics for the Ducks are: Corey Perry (Canada), Ryan Getzlaf (Canada), Jonas Hiller (Switzerland), Jakob Silfverberg (Sweden) and Cam Fowler (USA).

ENDICOTT, N.Y. -- Steve Lowery shot an 8-under 64 Thursday and held a two-shot lead after the first round of the B.C. Open.
Lowery, who missed eight cuts and had two withdrawals in 18 events this year, led Barry Cheesman, John Maginnes, Alex Cejka and Harrison Frazar.
Senior Players Championship winner Craig Stadler, 19-year-old Ty Tryon and Nationwide Tour player Jim McGovern were among 15 players another shot back at 5 under.
Conditions on the narrow 6,974-yard En-Joie Golf Club course were nearly ideal, with blue skies, temperatures in the high 70s and little wind. And the players took advantage -- more than 50 broke 70.
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. -- Mi-Hyun Kim made four birdie putts of 15 feet or longer in a 5-under-par 66 that gave her a one-stroke lead over Liz Earley and Silvia Cavalleri with eight players another shot back.
Suzy Whaley, who will play next week in a men's Tour event, had a 69.
The 36-year-old teaching pro from Avon, Conn., qualified last September for next week's Greater Hartford Open on the PGA Tour. She's using a sponsor's exemption at this LPGA event to get ready for her date with the men.

In keeping with my pre-NYFW series, today is all about one of the torch bearers of American Fashion.
Today's subject found his way to me via a series of serendipitous events, which have reminded me of the power of the written word as well as that of the internet in our daily lives.
That said, Michael Kors is a ubiquitous presence in our lives, whether we're opening a magazine, watching TV, strolling the toniest shopping streets around the world or ambling through any department store. For those of us who have been around longer than last season, so to speak, Kors can sort of be summed up as an amalgam of Ralph Lauren, Halston, Zoran, Beene, Norell, Blass, Ellis and many of Seventh Avenue's greatest and most memorable designers; in simpler terms, he is a result of what made New York a fashion powerhouse.
In a way he is extremely old school, and I say that in the most complimentary way, and think that so many new designers could use a healthy dose of what was as opposed to the distorted vision they have of what it should be!
Where Ralph Lauren sold us the wasp lifestyle, Michael Kors transports the consumer to a time and ideal of a 21st century jet setter lifestyle … slick, chic, soigne and cosmopolitan. He is an all American kind of guy, a born and bred New Yorker whose legacy will be felt for years to come.
Let's get inside the mind of Michael Kors!
Examiner: What is the most treasured possession in your wardrobe?
Michael Kors: One of them is the Cartier Tank Watch I bought myself when I was in high school. I spent all the money I had saved up doing caricatures at sweet sixteens and bat mitzvahs. But it was worth it. It changed everything I wore, how I felt about myself and how other people saw me.
EX: What is your most sterling trait and what trait do you treasure most in your friendships?
MK: Loyalty. Leo's are very loyal - many of my favorite people are leo's.
EX: What is your bliss?
MK: Iced tea and a beach
EX: What is your guilty secret?
MK: Tabloid TV.
EX: Where is your ideal home?
On a private island filled with friends and family.
EX: If you could not be a designer or retailer, what would you be?
MK: A Broadway producer.
EX: What is on your bedside table right now?
MK: Diana Vreeland Memos: The 'Vogue' Years.
EX: What do you wear to bed?
MK: black michael kors briefs
EX: What if any, book are you reading now or last read?
MK: "A Story Lately Told" by Anjelica Huston
EX: What's your advice to the "newcomer?"
MK: Stay true to yourself and your vision.
EX: Who or what is your inspiration/style icon?
MK: My personal style icon is Steve McQueen. My design style icon is a mix of everyone from Jackie O. to Lauren Hutton to my mother.
EX: What is the best advice you ever received?
MK: Stay true to who you are - people won't trust you if you aren't authentic.
EX: In 3 words or less, describe the current state of fashion.
MK: Democratic and Fast.
EX: If you won a $200,000,000 power ball (lottery), what is the first thing you would buy or do?
MK: I'd donate it to World Food Programme or God's Love We Deliver.
EX: If you could invite up to 4 people for dinner, who would they be…dead or alive?
MK: Jackie O'Nassis, Andy Warhol, Lucille Ball and Madonna - all Leo's!
EX: What is your favorite movie /or movie star?
MK: I could watch funny face with Audrey Hepburn a million times.
EX: Whose opinion do you value most and why?
MK: My customers, because theirs is the one that matters most.
EX: What store or which designer do you most like to shop in or wear?
MK: I mostly shop when i travel; I love things that have a story.
EX: What's your take on magazines, books versus the internet?
MK: Print all the way.
EX: Do you have a dream collaborator?
MK: I would've loved to work with Halston.
EX: What is your crowning achievement thus far in your career?
MK: I've been very fortunate. Every award is unique in its own way, from being an influencer on the 'Time 100' list to receiving the Golden Heart Award from God's Love We Deliver. They all mean something to me.
EX: What's your music library like?
MK: It's got a huge range. Everyone from Coldplay to Cher to Frank Sinatra.
EX: What and where is your favorite meal?
MK: A cheeseburger from [New York restuarant] J.G. Melon.

Green Day and romance rule the track list for the "Breaking Dawn – Part 2" soundtrack, out November 13.
Summit has confirmed that the iconic punk rockers will have a song on the album, along with Passion Pit, Ellie Goulding (whose track is produced by real-life love Skrillex), Paul McDonald and wife/ series star Nikki Reed and such "Twilight" soundtrack alums as St. Vincent (she contributed to the "New Moon" album) and Christina Perri (who previously appeared on the "Breaking Dawn – Part 1" soundtrack).
Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt shared with Yahoo! Movies why the group wanted to get involved with the franchise as it bids a final farewell. "When we were asked to be part of the 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2' soundtrack, we readily agreed because the films are an insane cultural phenomenon, and we have always been impressed with the way the 'Twilight' soundtracks are so carefully curated," he said.
MTV News had the heads-up that "Twilight" actress Reed and hubby McDonald had been cooking up something for the album way back in March when they chatted with us about it. At the time, McDonald had been trying to familiarize himself with the story. Meanwhile, Passion Pit and Iko had been attached to the project last month.
In 2011, Perri opened up to MTV News about her love for the story and her first soundtrack contribution, "A Thousand Years." "I've been a really big 'Twilight' fan for years," she said. "For me, it just has to do most with the love story between Edward and Bella. I feel like it's 'Romeo and Juliet,' and they just happen to be vampires and there's werewolves. I loved the story from day one."
The final installment in the "Twilight Saga" opens November 16.
The full track list for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2" soundtrack:
» Passion Pit, "Where I Come From"
» Ellie Goulding, "Bittersweet"
» Green Day, "The Forgotten"
» Feist, "Fire in the Water"
» The Boom Circuits, "Everything and Nothing"
» St. Vincent, "The Antidote"
» POP ETC, "Speak Up"
» Iko, "Heart of Stone"
» A Boy and His Kite, "Cover Your Tracks"
» James Vincent McMorrow, "Ghosts"
» Paul McDonald and Nikki Reed, "All I've Ever Needed"
» Reeve Carney, "New for You"
» Christina Perri, "A Thousand Years (Part Two)"
» Carter Burwell, "Plus Que Ma Prope Vie"

Bob Costas, whose Sochi Olympics primetime coverage has been replaced by Matt Lauer, says about his pinkeye, or conjunctivitis, that "as a practical matter, I simply couldn't do my job because my eyes had become so blurry, watery and sensitive to light. I'm hopeful the symptoms will improve in the next couple of days and I can return to the broadcast," reported CBS News on Feb. 11, 2014.
Since 1998, this is the first time that Bob Costas has to hand over covering the Olympics primetime show to someone else. ''I'm walking around, I might as well be playing 'Marco Polo','' he said in a telephone call to the ''Today'' show on Tuesday. ''I have no idea where I am.''
The culprit of Bob Costas' demise is conjunctivitis, also called pinkeye. Conjunctivitis can be caused by allergens, by bacteria, or by a virus, reports the CDC.
Unlike pinkeye caused by allergens, viral and bacterial conjunctivitis can easily spread from one eye to the other or spread from one person to another. More specifically, conjunctivitis includes a swelling of the thin layer that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. Symptoms can include itching, pink or a red color in the white of the eye, discharge and crusting, and – as Bob Costas experienced, trouble seeing.
Or as Matt Lauer described the symptoms when opening the broadcast, Bob Costas ''looked a little like a loser in a prize fight.''
Bob Costas has been struggling with conjunctivitis since he began the Sochi Olympics coverage, forcing him to trade in his contacts with glasses. What began as pinkeye in his left eye, spread to his right eye, and being a viral infection, there is no antibiotic that could speed up the healing. Severe cases of pinkeye can take up to three weeks or longer to clear.
"If it was just discomfort, I'd be there," Bob Costas said in a news release. "I'm receiving excellent treatment … it's a viral infection, and all you can do is try to manage the symptoms while the virus runs its course." Matt Lauer might want to stay on standby.

EU-Project DIAMANT
Project title: Diamond based atomic nanotechnologies
EU-Program Acronym: FP7-ICT
Programme: Future and Emerging Technologies
Project coordinator: Fedor Jelezko
The DIAMANT team has pioneered the discovery and development of diamond as a uniquely promising material system for solid-state molecular technologies: Diamond has exceptional optical and magnetic properties that are associated with dopant complexes - or "solid-state molecules" - in the diamond lattice. The DIAMANT project will develop new technologies to enable placement of exactly one atom at a time into a selected location in the diamond lattice with nanometre precision. Control of magnetic and optical interactions between single dopants will enable engineering of artificial molecules with radically new functionalities. Applications in the fields of sensing and imaging at the nanoscale, novel data storage and information processing will be developed both theoretically and experimentally. The ability to control magnetic interactions on the atomic scale will enable miniaturisation of electronic devices down to the ultimate size limit - single molecules. We will manufacture photonic crystal cavities and plasmonic structures in diamond to realise the optical interfaces required for reading-in and reading-out information from these molecular-scale devices. Molecular sensors operating under ambient conditions promise to revolutionise the field of biological imaging and precision sensing. In the long term, determination the structure of single proteins will come within reach.

BASIC and Web 2.0
One idea that is important for Run BASIC to be a Web 2.0 system is that it needs to be able to consume information from other internet sources. The ability for the user to write a program that downloads the contents of a web page and then process that as information, or the ability to read RSS feeds as data would get us partway there.
I'd be interested in the reader's thoughts about this (yes, you!).

I'm not sure what you mean by "consume information from other internet sources". To me, the most important thing to be useful is to interact with HTML like ASP,ASP.NET, Perl, Python, etc. Thus, a mod_basic for apache using Run Basic.
Or maybe I'm stuck in the previous web. Maybe a web application could be written without HTML, but I don't see how.

Being an invention of the web itself, it makes sense that Run BASIC should be able not only to produce web content (in the form of programs or perhaps even static pages), but that it could also consume other content on the web. You know, input and output. ;-)
As for HTML, ASP, JSP, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. You don't need those to create a web app using Run BASIC. Since you can embed your own tags in the output of Run BASIC programs there is no reason why you cannot use Run BASIC with all those other things.
Think about it.

- Stephen Wrighton said...
personally, I think it's an interesting idea.
And Tom - IMO, it would be less useful to interact with HTML than it would be for Run Basic to interact with data streams - such as XML, SOAP, or JSON.
Now, the output of a Run BASIC applet can/should be HTML/XHTML for viewing in a browser, but I have to wonder how much quicker a Run BASIC implementation of an XML Parser for say a product catalog would be compared to the .NET or RAILS implementation.
That said, there are other tools out there that are designed to consume those resources, RAILS, .NET, etc. how would a Run BASIC solution stack up to them?
Likewise, what overhead on the server would it garner - especially when there are thousands of requests against the app at any given time.

Summer vacation is almost over and a new youth hockey season waits in the wings. As a testament to the growth of youth hockey in the South and the recognition that a year round training regimen is the one of the tried and true methods of improving hockey skills. Many hockey camps were filled to capacity this summer with players eager to improve.
Yan Kaminsky's camp has developed in just a few years into a "must attend" event for many youth players in the area.
Kaminsky migrated to Atlanta after being a member of the Soviet HC Dynamo team in Russia and the NHL New York Islanders and Winnipeg Jets. Kaminsky has gained a reputation as a superb personal hockey trainer and youth hockey director. Many of his students travel from other states to get instruction from him.
His camps are rigorous and painful enough to help many Georgia youth players develop and improve their skating skills and stamina. His knowledge on what it takes to reach the highest competitive level makes him a unique commodity in Atlanta, Georgia.
Beside Kaminsky's camp, several other hockey camps were offered at the Cooler and the MIC and several roller hockey summer programs.
At the AAA level several tournaments took place including the TPH Elite Camp, Showdown in Motown, the Chi-Town tournament and the prestigious Supersonic Danglers camp in Vermont.
The Danglers program is unique in that it only selects youth players to attend their camp by observation and invitation.
According to a event organizer "every summer, 68 highly skilled hockey players from across the nation gather in Manchester, Vermont for a week of high-level hockey and high-level fun!"
The camp website said"the Supersonic Danglers Development program has three primary objectives.
1. Provide great hockey players with the knowledge, support, player development, and training to help them reach their long-term hockey goals.
2. Create a rich environment of spirited competition, great new friendships, and big time fun!
3. Introduce the players to Cardigan Mountain School, future prep options, and college hockey. "
As an authentication of the continued strides being made in Southern hockey circles, several 2000 age group TPH Thunder players were invited to the camp.
Teammates Anthony Mandravellos, Cooper Fensterstock, Jonathan Shaw, Matt Shriver, Zach Conner and Sean McAvoy were all invited to the week long camp which included intensive morning instruction and tournament style games every evening.
The Thunder players were divided into four teams named after well known division one (D1) college hockey schools: Lowell, Yale, Quinnipiac, and St. Cloud."
Cooper Fensterstock also received praise earning honorable mention in game one and assisting on the game winning overtime goal in the championship.
Anthony Mandravellos received honorable mention in game 3 for Lowell and further impressed with a game tying goal in the championship match.
Jonathan Shaw and Matt Shriver received honorable mention performing for Yale and Quinnipiac in game 3 and 4 respectively.
Sean McAvoy tallied 2 goals for St. Cloud in the Danglers Cup championship game.
Noteworthy was the fact that the camp utilized a mixture of '99 age group players with the 2000's which created a tremendously competitive and physical environment.
The TPH Thunder program earned unexpected praise having four players receive honorable mention. Shriver, Mandravellos, and Shaw received the recognition on defense while Fensterstock received praise as a forward.
Since most of the players attending the camp were from northern cities and other hockey hotbeds all over North America there was some surprise that Southern based youth players performed so well.
McAvoy made his mark in the championship game giving the Thunder an impressive representation within the invited group of top youth players.
The dominant defenseman in the tournament (which showcased several excellent defensive performers) was Kevin Wright who displayed an impressive combination of size, physicality, skating, and hockey sense. Wright scored 2 goals in the championship matchup and was intimidating and effective throughout the entire series.
Also receiving honorable mention was Connor Laurendeau of the Minuteman Flames AAA 2000 Team. The Minuteman Flames, one of 102 teams from 14 countries, competed in the Quebec Peewee tournament. The Flames won 6 games in a row at the Pepsi Coliseum to capture the title playing in front of over 10,000 fans in the quarter, semi and final games. The final three games were televised in French and English on Canadian Television. It was only the second time in the 54 year history of the tournament that a New England based team has won the Elite Division title of the tournament.
The top player honor in the camp was awarded to Christian Powers, although he was not a factor in the final game.
Danglers coach Mark Damica said the organization is meticulous in efforts to recruit the best bantam level players in the country for the camp.
"I scout major tournaments (Bauer in Chicago, Peewee Tournament is Quebec, various Superseries) and look for smart hockey players who are highly skilled and possess quickness and speed.
We had another great group this summer.
They are (youth players) invited to the Supersonic Danglers camp because of their talent level and potential to move on to the next level and these boys proved themselves all week during the camp.
I find that there are very talented kids all over the country, not just in the hockey hotbeds. We really liked the play of the kids from the Southern Region and were very impressed with the overall level of play of every players invited; we were very pleased with the high caliber."
Campers who received player of the game honors and honorable mentions received Dangler hockey socks and a Dangler commemorative respectively, for their performances during the series.
"It's tradition that once you become Supersonic Dangler, you are always welcome to return the following year. All of this year's 2000's will be invited back next summer."

This is just a short post. I am writing it because I've seen one too many blog articles lately recommending an outdated and obsolete method of differentiation required of you in the job search – the need to write the Cover Letter.
I'll get to the point…..don't bother. Here's why:
1. It won't get opened.
We are at total media saturation already. Find me one HR Manager, Recruiter or Hiring Manager that has the time to read two candidate documents in a single email, and I'll show you someone who doesn't know how to prioritise and in all probability will soon be looking for a job himself. The chances of getting your email opened is already low; it follows that your chances of getting your CV read is likely to be even lower. What chance the extraneous cover letter?
2. It's redundant
Email already does the job. What, you are planning on sending a beautifully crafted cover letter with it's Dear Marjorie / Yours Sincerely format, and NOT also address your email in the same way? Come on now. It's repetition – there's nothing you put in a Cover Letter that you can't put into the email you're sending it in. The Cover Letter became an anachronism the moment we all 'got it' with email – something like 15 years ago.
3. It's poor branding
Who writes letters any more? That's right: utility companies, lawyers, Her Majesty's Government, and maybe your Grandma on your birthday. Writing a Cover Letter in the job search sets you out in a way you probably didn't expect and probably don't intend – old fashioned, quaint, probably very nice …..and unemployable.
Cover Letters are not inherently bad
Now let me be clear: Cover Letters are not inherently bad. It's just a waste of your time. You're polishing the leather on the steering wheel, when you need to be putting petrol in the tank. You can do much better with your time by spending it on doing almost anything else (social media marketing, networking, calling people, walking around) than this.
The Caveat
There is only one occasion when a Cover Letter is appropriate; when it is explicitly solicited by an organisation in an advertisement. If there is a line in the advert which says "to apply, send in your Curriculum Vitae along with a Cover Letter explaining your interest in this opportunity", then by all means, go ahead, write the cover letter and apply. In fact, if you're going to do that, you might as well go the Full Monty, and print it out and post it.
Any defenders of Cover Letter writing out there? Let's hear from you!
I am pro cover letter because they can highlight accomplishments that don't show up in the resume.
However, I NEVER attach a cover letter (or a resume, for that matter) unless someone explicitly requests it, and I never attach them as .doc files unless they request it. If you make the cover letter and resume your email, HR department members will (usually) at least skim it!
Hi Hung, I understand what you are saying and even why you are saying it but I disagree. There are ways to transform that archaic paper or even e-mail attachment cover letter into e-mail body which makes the cover letter just as valuable. And good reasons to do that.
You have networked your way into a position and need to make the connection…
You want to explain how you fit the position exactly…
and more… I guess I now have another post to write but thank you for a thought-provoking post.
[...] Lee from Wise Man Say had an interesting post on November 29 that caught my eye, "When to write a cover letter (Hint: Never)" I started writing a comment and then realized that I would take up his space with my answer and my [...]
I agree. Cover letters are a waste of time.
The energy spent trying to convince the reader that you can do the job should instead be spent adapting the CV content.
That's the document where they need to see the evidence of suitability – if only because the CV is broken down into easy to read categories.
Most cover letters that don't have an accompanying credible CV just look like begging letters.
[...] the cover letter is dead and gone, or does it still have a place? Sound off in the comments below.When to Write a Cover Letter (Hint: Never) [Wise Man Say]Tags career jobs resumes Related Stories Craft The Perfect Elevator Pitch By [...]
Ok, an attached document won't be read, but using the email as a cover letter still makes sense. And for more than an introduction.
I'd argue that the hiring manager who puts efficiency over more thoughtful ways of weeding out candidates will be out of a job.
Let me add that, yes, spending time networking and adapting your resume to the job requirements is of course important.
But… here's my case for cover letters: they are not objective statements, or a litany of adjectives. They are one paragraph introducing where you are at the moment and what you're doing, one paragraph stating one or two of the most relevant accomplishments in your career, and one paragraph on why these accomplishments prove you're a good fit for the role.
Moreover: it should be really easy to read that this is what is going on in the letter. "I am doing x; I have done this great y thing; I will be able to do z for you because".
The point here isn't so much the worth of your achievements. That can be judged on the resume itself. The point here is to show you have the capacity to communicate clearly and succinctly (and that you're not just mass-mailing everyone who'll take your resume, but that you understand why you're a good fit for this particular role). Just like the resume itself, it's a great way to weed good candidates from the bad ones – the ones who know how to communicate themselves well from the ones who don't.
As a hiring manager, I will say this is wrong, wrong, wrong. Unfounded opinions with no evidence to back it up. And insulting: "Find me one HR Manager, Recruiter or Hiring Manager that has the time to read two candidate documents in a single email, and I'll show you someone who doesn't know how to prioritise…"
A well-crafted cover letter does some things a resume can't do well. One is show that you actually read and understand the job description (as opposed to the dozens of careless slobs who will send their resumes that more or less maybe kinda sorta match).
The second is that it gives you a great opportunity to tell me why you are a good match.
Third, it makes you different. And it gives you the chance to show that you communicate well.
When I say "well crafted," I mean short. Very short. Two paragraphs. It takes a couple of minutes to write.
[...] When to Write a Cover Letter (Hint: Never) | Wise Man Say [...]
[...] When to Write a Cover Letter (Hint: Never) | Wise Man Say [...]
I think the title of this article is unfortunate. I hope people will ignore its advice or read further to see what you're really saying.
When I get a resume with no explanation of why someone wants to work with us, I almost always pass on it immediately. I do prefer that the "cover letter" be the body of the email, not a separate attachment. But that's trivial. The important thing is knowing the applicant is genuinely interested in working with us and not just spamming out resumes.
I would modify with: never send form cover letter. If you have something interesting to say, say it quickly in a few sentences. Also, I agree, send it via email text not as a .doc.
Since I hire a lot of people for my business, I tend to ask my admin to skim most applications, and then I skim those that meet my basic criteria. If something catches my eye, a well written cover letter will get read and most likely will end up in a interview pile. A form letter gets the application the reject pile.
I don't know other industries, but in my small business we get more than 50 resumes per posting for a technical job. We just have to make fairly arbitrary choices to narrow the selection, and a cover letter can affect this either very positively or be very detrimental.
I can't agree with your post.
I recently was searching for a new job and i found out, during an interview, that at least 4 people read my cover letter.
It was part of the reason they hired me for the job.
I a cover letter you can show your real reason why you want the job, why you can fill up the spot, why you are the buy / girl for that position.
A letter is static, a letter is a letter. Nothing "funny" you can do with a letter. A resume is never static. It's always different from applicant to applicant. That's why it's harder to interpretate because of these differences.
