Salemme leads Seymour rout
WATERBURY -- Joey Salemme is aiming for Edwin Esson's Seymour High single-season rushing record of 2,030 yards set three decades ago.
Through only five games, the junior tailback is nearly halfway home with 979 yards. Salemme rushed for 229 yards on 27 carries and scored touchdowns of 3, 10 and 59 yards to lift the Wildcats to a 45-6 win over Sacred Heart on Thursday night at Municipal Stadium. He now has 11 touchdowns on the season.
"Joey Salemme is an awesome runner," said Hearts coach Cortez Johnson. "He has a low center of gravity and keeps his feet moving and at that position, that's what you need to do. And he's a tough runner, too."
Salemme credits the offensive line, known as the "Electric Company."
"We run power (I-formation), and the line up front are moving bodies and giving me room to run," said Salemme. "I just see the hole and go."
The line also gave quarterback Frankie Marcucio time to throw. Four of his five completions went to Jack Briggs for 121 yards. Briggs also scored a TD on a 3-yard run, his first of the year.
"Frankie did a really good job of getting me the ball," said Briggs.
"We definitely have a potent offense," said Marcucio, who also booted a 25-yard field goal. "It's been good to be able to score early."
Seymour's Matt Hollo intercepted a pass 22 yards, returning it for a score.
"I never had a pick-six before," said Hollo. "I never had a better feeling playing football. I saw the ball, grabbed it and ran as fast as I could."
Greg Chase-Patrick also scored a rushing touchdown for the Wildcats. Quincey Williams scored on a 10-yard touchdown for the Hearts (0-5).

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi basketball teams rang in the new season with the Islanders Basketball Tip-Off Dinner on Monday, Oct. 29, with ESPN and ABC basketball analyst Jimmy Dykes serving as the featured speaker. Stripes and the Susser Family put on the event as part of their continued support of Islanders Athletics.

"The Susser Family has been one of the biggest supporters of our intercollegiate athletics program from day one, and events like Monday's make me so proud to have them as a partner in the continued growth of the city of Corpus Christi.
"I would also be remiss if I didn't thank all of our supporters who came out to Monday's event as well as Jimmy Dykes, who gave an outstanding talk," he added. "It was a great event to start what should be an exciting season for our men's and women's basketball programs."
The event, which was emceed by Steven King, featured speeches from head men's basketball coach Willis Wilson, head women's basketball coach Royce Chadwick and Dykes, with all three emphasizing the heights that Islanders Athletics can reach with the continued commitment of the community.

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

Product's Review
Does the job and looks good too. Review by HJ714
Unlike the other reviewer, I think this case is great. The glasses need to fit tight. We've used this case quite a bit with no problems pulling the glasses out; they are glass not crystal. The case does a fine job of protecting the bottle and glasses, while looking good at the same time. (Posted on 3/5/2012)
leff than great Review by STLGAL
the case looks great, but the glasses are in there so tight, i am actually afraid to try to pull them out for fear fo breaking them. I am afraid the gift will sit on a shelf and not be used.

"The quality and style of our invitations are wonderful. The black and pink are not as vibrant as shown - sort of chalkboard black and lighter pink. Loved the ease of personalizing and ordering. Had to call several times with concerns regarding shipping due to a short time frame and the customer service was amazing! We received our invites as ordered in two days! Highly recommend using them for all wedding invites!"
"These invitations are of very nice quality, the design is very stunning. I like that the invitations are printed on good and firm material, not flimsy or thin in the least. Loved the coordinating print on the back of invitation.They were perfect! I was even more delighted that when they were received, I started getting texts and phone calls about how beautiful the invitations were, stating stunning, beautiful, sophisticated, and very classy!"
"This invitation was perfect for my daughter's wedding shower. She's incorporating a bicycle theme in her wedding and this image was just what I was looking for. I was able to change the background color to seaglass which was great since her wedding is at the beach. The paper was the perfect thickness and guests have made very positive comments on the invitation. Great job!"
"I added the Pearl paper and they turned out beautiful. My daughter loved the invites and the Thank you cards I had gotten for her too."

ARLINGTON, Texas -- It was Brandon Moss who toned down talk of the A's postseason after Bartolo Colon's 1-0 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.
He suggested any playoff talk while being 51/2 games up on the Rangers in the American League West with 14 to play was misguided.
"This is where we were with nine games to go last year," Moss said. "The season will be over when it's over."
His numbers were a little off -- the A's were five back with nine games to go in 2012 -- but Oakland did win the West.
And the A's did have a six-game lead in the West on July 29 this season, and seven games later were tied with Texas, so Oakland can't get too full of itself.
Still, the A's have won 15 of 19, and the Rangers only have one game left with the A's, Sunday afternoon at Rangers Ballpark.
So there is reason for the A's to at least plan for a future that includes the playoffs even as they follow manager Bob Melvin's dictates of never looking past the next game.
A month ago it was an open question whether Colon would be in the postseason rotation. He went on the disabled list because of a left groin injury Aug. 18 after back-to-back starts in which he had allowed 10 runs in just 62/3 innings.
Since his return, he has allowed three earned runs in four starts. Given what he has done, it is hard to see Colon not included in the postseason rotation. And the rotation is going to be tough to crack.
Colon is 16-6 with a 2.73 ERA. Sunday starter Jarrod Parker (11-6, 3.55) has won nine consecutive decisions and hasn't lost since May. Dan Straily is 4-0 in his past four starts with a 1.90 ERA. A.J. Griffin is also 4-0 in his past four starts, albeit with a 3.60 ERA.
"We've leaned on him all year," shortstop Jed Lowrie said of Colon. "If we're able to lean on him now, it makes it a lot easier on us. He looks real good. He did such a good job with their hitters, keeping guys off balance."
"He's come off the disabled list and he's been real good," Melvin said. "When he's pitching well like this, the other guys (in the rotation) don't think they have to do too much. Today, that was mid-June Bartolo. He had great command and good velocity."
Colon's fastball, which was in the high 80s just before he went on the disabled list, registered 96 on a couple of occasions Saturday.
"I'm not so much surprised at what he's done as I'm impressed," catcher Stephen Vogt said. "I'm impressed for him to be in the shape he's in. He threw his last pitch in the eighth inning just as fine as he was throwing in the first. It's important to see your pitchers continue to get better."
The 40-year-old Colon was able to work quickly Saturday, and that was thanks in large measure to his opponent, Texas starter Yu Darvish. Moss delivered an RBI double in the first, and neither team scored again.
Asked about the pitchers' duel, Colon, speaking through interpreter Ariel Prieto, said: "It's good for me to pitch fast. It means the hitters don't have a chance to think too much."
How good was Colon? He struck out Elvis Andrus in the fifth inning after the second of two singles by leadoff man Ian Kinsler. Colon came off the mound smiling, and not because of the strikeout.
"Kinsler apologized to me for getting two hits," Colon said with a grin.
The Rangers would get just two more, but no runs in Colon's eight innings. Grant Balfour pitched the ninth for his 38th save.
"We seem to find one series that serves as a springboard," Melvin said when asked about the A's 66 second-half homers, one behind major league leader Washington over that stretch. "Last year it was the sweep in Minnesota (just after the All-Star break). This time it was the series in Detroit."
"I don't know if there is anything like that in this ballpark," Melvin said when asked if he would look for a lower-intensity game for Cook's next appearance. "He's yanking the fastball off the plate and missing with the slider away. Everybody goes through periods when they're not at their best."

WASHINGTON (December 8, 20120--President Barack Obama continued a relentless push for his middle class tax cut plan in his weekly media message for the fourth time since his re-election.
Mr. Obama accuses House Republicans of blocking a bill that would prevent a tax increase on the first $250,000 of income earned by all Americans.
The Democratic-controlled Senate has approved the measure.
Mr. Obama said a House bill is unbalanced and actually lowers rates for the wealthiest Americans, instead of raising them as the president has proposed.
For the GOP, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says tax increases will not solve the nation's $16 trillion debt.
He said the only way to do that is through economic growth and reform of entitlement programs.
He says limited government can help meet the challenge of restoring the middle class.

Overall a decent tent but a tight fit for two average-sized guys. Quality construction and excellent waterproofing.
- Very stable when properly guyed out
- Quick, easy setup
- Footprint included
- Great ventilation
- Single vestibule
- Cramped
- Definitely not ultralight
I've been a fan of Marmot products for several years thanks to quality products that hold up to a lot of use. The Marmot Limelight 2 is no exception — a quality tent for the right price.
My partner and I have used my 3 season, 3 person ALPS tent until last year when I decided to make the switch to something smaller and lighter. After looking at a number of tents within my price range, I settled on the Limelight since it included a footprint and gear loft.
Setup is a breeze and takes a single person 8-10 minutes to pitch and completely guyout. The stakes are high quality with a hexagonal design that helps prevent them from bending like a standard aluminum stake. The only issue was that on arrival, I was shorted one guyline.
Ventilation in this tent is exceptional. We just got back from a trip in the High Uinta Wilderness where we were rained on daily and had overnight temperatures of about 40°F. We didn't experience a single drop of condensation and had 0 leaks with all the rain. Also, given the weather we were having, the window in the vestibule was a nice addition making it easy to decide whether or not to sleep in.
There are a couple of drawbacks that are more of an inconvenience than a deal breaker. First, the tent is small for two average sized guys. I'm 5'9" and 170 lbs, and my partner is 5'8" and 180 lbs. We're a tight fit in the Limelight and having a single door and vestibule means one of us has to climb over the other when nature calls in the middle of the night. It's also not the lightest tent on the market, so if you're an ounce counter, go with something ultralight.
Ending on a positive note, the reflective guyout points are a bonus and once you've got it all staked out, it stands up to substantial wind, rain and even snow. All in all, a high quality tent for a great price.

Price Paid: 170$
I chose this tent after a long search. I used it for two and a half months in every weather except snow, and this tent is just terrific! Strong, light, easy to set up, very well ventilated. Marmot got it right on every part of it (except the stakes). Totally recommended!
- Very well ventilated
- Easy to set
- High quality materials and manufacture
- The rain fly zipper is a bit hard to reach
- Cause of high ventilation doesn't stop cold breeze
- Stakes are not good enough
I bought this tent after comparing to a lot of other tents in the same class. I needed a high quality, light and waterproof tent for a two and a half months backpack travel to Europe during summer.
I used this tent many times on different grounds and environments, and I absolutely love this tent!
Weighing maximum of 2 kilos, you can't get much lighter than that for the same dimensions and price.
I've been to thunderstorms that lasted 3 days, I've been to cold weather, hot rainy weather and high winds, and this tent was perfect in any condition. While raining the tent kept on high ventilation, there were no leaks or condensation, no water getting in from the sides or anything like that. While in hot weather the mesh did its job in keeping the bugs out and the breeze in.
On high south winds on the Croatian Islands (called Bura) where most of the tents around me got flat, this tent stood still like a fortress. I had to use every anchoring point it had, but I had no worries for it to be blown away or for the poles to break. In cold rainy weather I experienced cold wind getting into the tent, of course because of the high ventilation. So I think it might not be the best choice if you know you'll be in cold weather most of the time.
The building and material quality is superb and I didn't had anything been broken or torn, the fly stood in high tensions and it looked very rough and strong, the poles as well. The footprint and floor overcome stones and twigs, only the stakes got bent too easily and I would definitely recommend to replace them. I got the MSR Groundhog and they had no problem with any kind of ground.
As for space, this tent is larger than most other tents in the same weight and price category. I'm 1.75 meters and thin and I could easily fit with another person and a bag in it.
It's very easy to set up, without any complex parts or methods, rain fly fits perfectly and very quickly. Easy to fold back, lots of storage space inside.
I'm happy that I chose this tent, and I'm looking forward to use it for a long time.
***Update 6/2016***
This update is after 4 years of use. I still love this tent and it has been perfect for my needs.
The last time I used it I noticed that some water was penetrating through the floor. When I examined it at home I couldn't notice any tear/wear. I contacted Marmot Warranty without too many expectations, to my own surprise Marmot didn't ask me to send the tent for examination, or used the "regular wear" excuse, and just replayed right away to go to the local dealer and replace my 4 years old tent with a brand new one! Even more, I bought it in a different country from where I'm living and the local dealer just helped me right away, no questions asked!
Marmot Warranty service is probably the best one out there!
Thanks for the long-term update on your tent, Yuvalk. That's great that Marmot customer service was so easy and helpful for you. Enjoy the new tent!

Great features and construction, just a little small…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $170 delivered
Great features and construction, just a little small for two to cohabitate and heavy for one to carry.
- Great for 1 adult and gear
- Window is useful but not intrusive
- Quality and design are "well done!"
- Small for all but the most intimate pair of campers
- Not light: 6# (not 5) as delivered.
I already own a Shires Rainbow Solo tent which weighs 1# but is minimalist in design and made of super UL materials. This is my solo backpacking tent. Additionally, I own a Eureka Juno 3xtA three person tent which weighs in at 6.3# but is palatial in roominess and features to comfortably house a couple of "heterosexual" fishing partners. I use it out of the back of the car or when lakeside camping out of my power boat.
The "need" for this tent was for something in between in weight, comfort features and required footprint that would be used as a comfortable and rugged solo tent for kayak/canoe trips in the Northeast. After much research, it came down between Marmot's Earlylight 2P and Limelight 2P.
Both Marmots shined in design, build quality, features and value but their were a few things that stood out to me above the competition:
- the available hatch/cedar color was "woods stealthy" which I like as i'll often set up camp and then go off fishing.
- the window is very handy for quickly checking weather, wind conditions etc.
- the included free loft and ground cloth , while adding weight, add comfort.
- the ability to set up just the fly and ground cloth is perfect for the occasional shoreside nap.
In the end the Limelight won out as its fly had a smaller footprint and the brow pole did add extra volume. I was also a little concerned with the placement of the two windows in the Earlylight as they seemed like they would be right over my eyes while sleeping.
All in all, it's a great tent, but I'd be disappointed if I had purchased this to serve as a backpacking tent. It weighs 5.98# as delivered and I havn't even added extra guide lines and stakes yet.

Price Paid: $199
Previously I used a Eureka Timberline 2 tent. This tent was good in cold temps, inadequate in warm to hot temps. Also the rain fly was inadequate in wind driven rainstorms.
The Marmot Limelight 2 is far superior to the Eureka. The shape and design make it FAR less susceptible to high winds. The Marmot rain fly covers so much better providing more protection/cover and a covered entry. Much more stable and QUIET in high wind.
Costs a little more than the Eureka, but WELL worth the extra expense!!! The Marmot 2 is great for 1 person camping. If you need a tent for 2, go for the Marmot 4, you won't be sorry.
- Easy set up
- Ventilation is great
- Excellent rain/weather protection
- Great stability in windy conditions
- Original stakes are only fair. Replace them with "groundhog stakes". You'll have a solid tent.
- If you're a lone backpacker/hiker you may find this tent a little heaver than your liking.
I spent a lot of years camping with the Eureka Timberline 2. Also spent a lot of years experiencing its shortcomings. When it wore out I got the Marmot Limelight 2 tent.
Man, what a difference, like staying in a Motel 6 compared to a Hilton. Had I known I'd have gotten the Marmot years earlier. The Eureka tent weighs 5 lbs. 13 oz. The Marmot weighs in at 5 lbs. Weight isn't a big factor with me because I travel/camp by motorcycle. Comfort is a BIG factor with me.
Because of that I have to add an additional point. Again the Limelight 2 has great ventilation in hot weather. However I also camp in extreme cold weather (20 degrees and below). In these temps, especially with wind, the great ventilation can prove to be somewhat of a disadvantage. To this end I spent an additional $40 on velcro and tent material to make up easily attachable covers to cover the lower vent mesh. With this modification I can say that this Marmot Limelight 2 tent serves me VERY comfortably in 90 degree heat all the way down to 0 degree cold.
Man wish I'd come across this tent years ago!
PS, Whatever tent you go for, do yourself a favor and get the "groundhog" stakes. When the weather goes bad they'll make the difference between you sleeping through the night or your tent collapsing, getting you up in the middle of the night to deal with it.

Nice tent.
Quick and easy to set up. Holds up nicely to wind and rain. Came with a free foot print and gear loft. The gear loft seems sort of pointless. I can't remember what I paid but the price was good for the quality of the gear (may have been on sale at Campmor).
Only two complaints and they're subjective:
1) When unzipping the door from the outside it has a tendency to want to fall to the outside, in the dirt/mud. It's an easy situation to remedy yet it stands in my mind as a point to mention.
2) Zipping the vestibule closed from inside is akin to working yourself into a yoga position. You really have to lean forwards and stretch to get it that last couple of inches.
I would not hesitate to recommend this tent to anyone looking for a three season tent. Another note- I use this tent alone; just me and my pack (an external framed Kelty). If the capacity were to be in the plural the fit would be tight. And with two people you definitely would not be bring your packs in.
Overall a great tent.

Awesome tent. One of my first reviews, and first time out, but very easy to set up and break down. Great clips, and it was just amazing some of the small things they add into tents.
That being said, don't think I'm going easy on this review. I didn't have a chance to use it in rain, so I won't act like I was able to. But I did use it for a couple of days in the GA backcountry and it just felt so solid.
Front doorway is great getting into, easy to get out. The footprint that is included is great, along with the gear loft!
I used the gear loft so much. It's an awesome little bit of extra engineering. Tent feels like a house when staked and guyed out. Doesn't vent absolutely great, but we also didn't have any wind. Like, none at all, it was a bummer.
All in all, a solid one person tent with room, for two people. Be ready to say hi to your neighbor, but shouldn't be too bad. I'd share this tent, knowing how excellent it is.
Two inside pockets, and the rainfly has a stitched in stick that opens a little in the back like the Stingray model to help for ventilation. In wind I bet body parts it would vent well.
Happy customer for sure.

Decent solo mountain tent for the sub-alpine.
- Very stable when properly guyed out
- Comes with footprint
- Free standing
- Decently priced
- Not a 2-man
- Free standing it's more like a 2-season mountain tent
I bought this as a solo summer mountain tent and am happy with what I have. It is perfect for one person. If two men are sharing this tent then they are probably sharing more than a tent.
I have not had it in any summer snow conditions (YET), but if you're able to tie it down it should handle a couple of inches, which makes the 5 lb total travel weight reasonable.
I've had it for a few years on 6 or 7 backcountry trips. Everything has held up well
Thanks for the review, Paul. I agree that "2-man tents" are often a questionable description. Do you have any pics?

Durable and lightweight.
- Lightweight
- Compact
- Weather proof
- Excellent ventilation
- Easy setup
- Zipper entry on weather cover
There are so many good things to say about this tent. This is the first tent that I ever bought for my wife and I and we still use it, even with our 2yr old. However, we are very small people. No matter the condition though, I have never had a problem with this tent except for the zipper entry point on the weather cover.
It would be a nice added feature if there was an easier way to secure the flap to the outside of the tent when going in and out, sometimes it gets annoyingly in the way, especially when raining. Despite that minor problem, I would highly recommend this tent to anyone looking for a durable, lightweight and easy/fast set up system.
We have used this tent in several different types of conditions, from rain in Yosemite to the deserts of California, I've taken it to the beach as well and still provided great shade and ventilation on a hot day.

Source: borrowed it
I needed a lighter tent for a backpacking trip and didn't want to lug around an 8 lb tent. This is a very solid choice with a good price point (especially if you can find it on sale). It has great durable rip-stop nylon and doesn't weigh down my backpack. I wouldn't recommend using it for two people unless you want to be extremely close to them and not have your gear in the tent with you, but that true of any 2-person tent.
- Easy setup
- Light
- Sturdy
- Very tight for two people
- Won't stop a strong breeze from coming in
Setup: Very simple and easy. Just took a couple of minutes.
Stability: It didn't rain when I used it, but it held up to some fairly strong winds.
Ventilation: It is perhaps a bit too ventilated, because when I wasn't in my sleeping bag I was freezing and the walls allowed a lot of wind to come through the vents.
Room: Very tight for two people, and even tight for a person with gear, but it serves its purpose and the rain fly can hold gear too. Can be a bit of a pain to get in and out of.
Packability: It packs small and is pretty light. Not the lightest on the market, but much lighter than anything else I have and for the stability that it offers it's extremely light.
Construction: Very thin rip-stop nylon, should hold up well over time, and poles seemed very solid.
Conditions: I hiked in some hills in Eastern Missouri with it and was impressed. It didn't rain during the four day hike, but it got a bit chilly at night.

Please explain the difference between tent Limelight "FC" and Limelight without "FC!
- Light (2 persons)
- Flexible, resistant to extremely high wind in the south of Chile, trekking in the National Park Torres del Paine, 100 kms wind
- Can be very cold due to wind getting into the tent
- The external cover is too short!!
Excellent performance in 30 days trekking in the south of Chile and other areas. Need to extend the external cover for wind protection.
Axel, it looks like the Limelight FC name only comes up with European retailers. The US Marmot info and retailers have no reference to it and stick to Limelight. My guess is that it's a naming convention outside the US to signify the tent has Full Coverage.

Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Easy
Weight: 5 lbs
Price Paid: $188.95
I've never been one to crave sleeping outdoors. As an amateur landscape photographer I enjoy hiking, it's just that many of the locales I wish to photograph are more than a day hike from the trailhead, ergo, I use a tent. While I've had the pleasure of borrowing tents for much of my life, the Marmot is the first I've owned myself.
What I like about it.
I don't think anyone has found the perfect design for erecting a tent, but the system Marmot uses here is a winner. It is possible for one person to set both main poles simultaneously before raising the tent body. I did it once before using the tent and I was comfortable enough to take it into fair weather. Marmot has videos on their site that demonstrate the system quite well.
The tent also breathes well. This tent is not a 4-season tent, but as I mentioned in another review I found myself camping in sub-freezing temperatures one night in March. There was remarkably little frost built-up under the fly and on the poles, and there was no noticeable condensation (and no frost at all) on the inside of the inner tent. Don't forget when setting up to open the rear fly vent. They've sewn in a short metal pole and some velcro to open a small gap in the back of the fly. This is what's keeping you dry overnight.
What I don't like.
If I had my way I wouldn't carry the whole package myself. At 5 pounds it's at the average for 2-man backpacker tents. Over rough terrain that ends up being heavy enough for me to contemplate splitting the load between two people. That's nice for the trail, but it complicates setup and tear down. One can no longer simply roll or unroll the the tent from the stuff sack directly onto the site. That's also another sil-nylon stuff sack, adding $15 or so to the amount invested into the setup.
As others have mentioned, the zipper on the rain fly is difficult to reach from inside the tent. I have to kneel on the ground in the vestibule to reach it. This isn't a problem on warm, dry ground, but if you find yourself camping after a bit of rain you may end up tracking some dirt back into the tent.
I would also label the included gear loft as mostly useless. You might be able to stow your deck of cards or a small paperback up there, but it isn't useful for the personal items of two tentmates.
Other stuff.
I really thought the single-door design would be a big drag, but it hasn't been yet. I may just be lucky in that my usual tentmates don't get up in the middle of the night. Your experience may be different, depending on the sleep behavior and/or bladder size of your tentmate. Marmot also advertises the sizable vestibule as a place to stow gear. Here in the Midwest we are typically required to loft our packs onto poles, cables, or into trees as to not attract coyotes and other smaller critters. Other parts of the country have similar requirements for different critters, but the end result is the same. It is still a useful place to keep your footwear. Finally, I should mention that the tent seems to have a versatile guy-out setup, but I have not used it. Don't expect to guy the tent without buying more poles though. There are a couple extra, but not that many.
The bottom line.
The Limelight is pretty affordable for its feature set. For its small premium over other models you get a full-coverage rain fly, clip-based setup, and an included water-resistant ground cloth. If you were originally considering something like a Eureka Timberline, consider the Marmot Limelight as a better value.

Took this tent to Zion NP for its maiden voyage. Hiked a twenty mile loop in some dicey conditions (windy and cold). This tent was quite sturdy and kept up warm for the night. It does only have one door so if you have to frequently "step out" for the night, you had better be the one sleeping by the door. Other than that, light weight is a plus, reflective less trip ups at night, with plenty of stash room for odds and ends.
Overall a great tent! Would recommend!

This should be a helpful comment. I've owned a generation of this Limelight for a few years now. It's been rock climbing in AZ + SoCal, winter camping in lake effect temps and snow and two dozen rain soaked Oregon nights among tons of others. This tent has held up through all of it.
If you take care of this tent it'll take care of you - no doubt. Good ventilation in the warmer times, but knocks down drafts in the colder temps. Well designed - very simplistic but has some bells and whistles. The rain fly leaves no exposure of tent walls but the vestibule could have been a little bit bigger.
Best part is it packs small and light. nice touch: has a ring on the celing to hang a light via a biner - a backpacker's chandelier if you like. 4.5 stars.

Weight: 4-5 pounds

I bought this tent due to my old (20+years) Eureka Timberlite had seen better days. After many trips the coating was shot and leaked on the last two trips. I did some research and the Limelight 2 seemed like a good fit for my usage (motorcycle and quad camping).
The packed size was not too bad. Setting the tent up is a breeze, nice pole design and clips work great. The vestibule will be a nice addition since the old tent did not have one. The free footprint is good quality and a nice feature without spending extra money.
The gear loft is small and also included with the tent. Small items will fit nicely in it and out of the way. The storage pockets are nice but only one can be accessed when laying down since they are on either side of the door but this is a minor issue.
I haven't tried it in the rain yet but the taped seams are well done so I don't see the rain being a problem. The floor design should also be very good in wet weather. With a good amount of netting the tent stays fairly cool. The fly has a vent that opens and with a little wind it is noticeable inside the tent. The size for 2 people would be crowded but for one it is very roomy.
Overall the Limelight 2 is a quality tent for the money.

One somewhat irritating point - the fly only fits one way, with no easy 'this goes here' feature. The tent is actually somewhat narrower at one end. Fine, good to reduce pack size / weight, but makes putting some mark on a corner necessary. I got some reflective tape & seam glued 4" of tape to corner of fly and tent body.
Otherwise excel, does the job for not that much $$$.

Light yet durable and well put together. Easy set up. I used it this weekend in 30+ MPH winds w/ no issues at all. I have not used it in the rain yet but based upon what I have seen so far I don't see any problem in the rain.
Came w/ a free footprint which is a $20 average bonus.
My only issue: I hate crawling over the zipped down door. I wish Marmot could have made the door w/ a C design like so many others where the door hangs in place when unzipped and you can move it out of your way. My fear is snagging the door climbing in and out of the tent as the majority of it is screen.

I actually purchased a Marmot Nyx on E-Bay and they sent me a Limelight by mistake. I'm not upset by the substitution.
I'm not able to give a full review, however what I have experienced so far is great; and I haven't even spent a night in it yet!
This past weekend I spent a night in my sister's Kelty Grand Mesa tent during a backpack trip on the AT. Not a bad tent, and take down was fairly easy. My Marmot tent didn't arrive until the day after my hike.
Just playing around with it today, I was very impressed. I set it up in probably about 4-1/2 minutes, including the fly. My wife crawled in and we found that it would indeed have enough space for two with decent room for gear in the vestibule. All the seams are sealed well, and it included both a gear loft and a footprint! Those two items would have added another $40-$50 to the Nyx.
The quality appears to be top-notch and it packs down to 6"x18" with a packed weight of about 4-3/4 pounds. I can also use just the footprint and fly and keep the weight to just a few ticks above 2 pounds.
I hope to submit a more complete review in the near future, but I probably won't get out on the trail for at least a month or so. I guess I'll at least set it up in my yard and sleep out in a heavy overnight rainstorm. But I'm confident that this tent will fit my needs perfectly!
Update: February 10, 2010
As I had stated a few months ago, I wanted to submit a more thorough review on this tent. This puppy rocks!
I have slept in it in the middle of July during a hellacious thunderstorm that dropped 2" of rain overnight. I have been more than comfortable in it just last month when it was 5 degrees F with a -15 degree windchill and I awoke to 3" of new snow on the ground.I felt safe in it when a bear investigated me at 3:00AM on the Appalachian Trail in PA. on December 18, 2009. (Yes, black bears don't completely hibernate!)
In short, this thing has taken everything I've thrown at it.
Every once in a while, you buy something and you say, "Boy that's the best $100 bucks I spent in a long time." Well, in my humble opinion the Marmot Limelight fits that description. It does everything I could ask of it and more. No, it's not a true four-season tent (I'm still considering one), but I'm truly impressed with it! You could do far worse than the Limelight, but probably not any better for the money. And that's what I call a great value.

Great tent for the money. I have yet to use it on a backpacking trip and would probably just go with the fly and footprint to save weight and bulk. Have used it several times for car camping with great success. Handles strong wind well and absolutely no condensation was present due to the great ventilation. If it packed down smaller I would give it 5 stars but this can easily be worked around by sharing the gear among your fellow backpackers.

The tent is made very well for rain, this is why I bought it. This tent weighs 6.2lbs. not 5lbs. like it states.
Hiking 14,000 foot peaks means weight is an issue. I am disappointed that I may have to purchase a new tent over 1.2 lbs but that is another thing that I was looking for. They should not mislead the customer into purchasing this tent.

I've been getting take-out at this location for a while, but today my GF meal and my daughter's non-GF meal were switched and labeled incorrectly. Both were put up side by side, unlabeled. The manager asked which one was gf so he could label the lid, there seemed to be some confusion, and then they labeled the wrong one as gf (not sure they even looked at the ticket). I understand that mistakes happen, but when I asked the manager to re-make the gf meal (since the chicken in both looked identical and we couldn't tell for sure), he seemed confused. I tried to explain to him that gluten makes some people sick so I couldn't just hope it was gf. He then offered to make another one but I felt uncomfortable that they knew what they were doing. I probably shouldn't have ordered gf and non-gf together, and they were very busy, but it makes me nervous to go back for now.

Even at the beginning when I asked them a million questions because I was concerned about cross contamination, they explained everything to me about how it's prepared and cooked. It's safe place to eat and they care!

Great experience here. Came in to order take out and specified gluten free. I ordered the spicy chicken with white rice. The menu was small, but included more than just salads and actually had full entrees that I might've ordered even if not gf. Once I sat down to wait I heard the chef yell for the gluten free pan and oil, which was very reassuring. About 7 minutes later she gave me my order and had a sticker saying it was gf. She also made sure to give me packets of gf soy sauce. The food was very good.

It would be 5 stars if there was more selection and if they offered kids choices. But what they have is AMAZING!
71 North 500 West Suite A, West Bountiful, UT 84010
Only eaten here twice. First time was great...second time made us a little worried. My wife has celiac. She ordered the sweet and sour chick (w/ rice). They brought her a noodle dish (not GF) on accident. Honest mistake. Fixed it by bringing out the correct meal. That experience made us a little hesitant to come back. May try it again in the future, but not ready to roll the dice for now.

Their sweet and sour chicken is delicious! Not many GF options, but have eaten there several times without a problem.
1402 66th Street, St. Petersburg, FL 33710
when I found out this place is related to PF Chans I jumped to check it out. and I was not disappointed. I had the sweet and sour chicken and it was great. staff well educated on celiac. I will go again
1425 E Renner Rd #610, Richardson, TX 75082
All the Pei Wei's that we have visited are always great with accommodating gluten free diets. We have been to many and never had a problem.
1825 Guadalupe Suite F-112, Tempe, AZ 85283
Messed me up last few times. Idk if they know what gluten is.
5110 W Main St #100, Frisco, TX 75034
There is a gluten free menu, but it only includes 5 items. I had the sweet and sour chicken. So did my husband, but his wasn't gluten free. Nothing obviously different, not even the dish in which it was served. Taste wasn't bad, but only okay. I haven't been glutened in more than 2 years, but I was from this meal. If I had to guess, I'd say it was cross contamination because the symptoms weren't severe. But enough so I'm still suffering 24 hours later.
13937 Lakeside Circle Suite 113, Sterling Heights, MI 48313
Had gf sweet and sour chicken. Gave me wrong one , should have known it was sooooo good . On the floor sick for 10 hours. Awful if I could have gotten up I would have gone to emergency.
2338 Woodland Crossing Drive Suite A, Herndon, VA 20171
I ordered 3 GF meals and 1 non-GF. One had a "gluten-free" sticker on it, which was reassuring, but the others were either missing or came off in the bag. I liked the sweet and sour chicken. The pulled chicken salad was pretty bland, and I didn't see the dressing that was supposed to come with it. The Vietnamese chicken rolls were decent.
8885 Ladue Road Suite 1, Ladue, MO 63124
Terrible. Served the wrong food, then they brought my order and it tasted like barbecue, not sweet and sour. I am very familiar with Pei Wei food, and it was clearly not right. This was also the dirtiest Pei Wei I have ever been in.
13855 Conlan Circle Suite J, Charlotte, NC 28277
I love this place. They have a separate gluten free menu and while it's not super extensive there are some great options. When dining in the restaurant they are always sure to offer me their gluten free soy sauce and are always friendly. Definitively recommend.
3522 US-1, Princeton, New Jersey 08540
Disappointed. Very few menu choices printed on a TINY laminated card. Because they also do no take precautions for those with true wheat allergies such as strict avoidance of cross-contamination, it is not truly celiac-friendly.
1560 - A Leucadia Boulevard, Encinitas, CA 92024
There are limited options, but still good. I like the GF sweet & sour chicken.
1619 N Dysart Rd Suite 101, Avondale, AZ 85323
I've never gotten sick here personally and I have Celiac Disease. I would however be adamant about the SEVERE GLUTEN ALLERGY as they seem to be more cautious when you choose your words wisely while ordering.
2050 Route 70 West, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002
They changed their menu. There were 4 things to choose from. I got the rice paper spring rolls. I had a flare up and it wasn't even good. I won't be going there again!
2257 N. Germantown Parkway Suite 110, Memphis, TN 38016
When this location first opened I was glistened. I ignored for 2 years and gave it one more shot. Happy to say I've eaten here dozens of times since without issue.
12020 FM 1960 West, Houston, TX 77065
Limited gluten free menu, but the taste is very similar to their gluten options. One of my local favorites.
7600 N. MacArthur Boulevard #102, Irving, TX 75063
Disappointing!!! There were tortilla strips pieces in my GF Asian salad either cross-contamination of the salad or they picked them off after the salad was made.
3970 Buchtel Blvd. Suite 107, Denver, CO 80210
Food is yummy and I've only had gluten issues here once (I came when they were slammed). However, after my visit a couple of days ago, I don't think I'll be coming back. I got severe food poisoning from the spicy chicken (initially, I thought they had given me a regular meal instead of gf) and have been sicker than a dog all weekend. Be careful friends
1025 Camino De La Reina Suite P-5, San Diego, CA 92108
You have to ask for the gluten free menu. there were about six gluten free items--the cook changes gloves and uses a dedicated wok for the gluten free food. We had sweet and sour chicken with rice. edamame, and Vietnamese spring rolls. enjoyed it all. the drink machine is awesome. tons of flavors.

April Vanderveer, a certified nurse-midwife and women's health nurse practitioner, has joined the Gifford Ob/Gyn & Midwifery team.
Vanderveer is an experienced birthing center nurse who went on to nurse midwifery school at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She also has a bachelor's of science degree from the University of Vermont and a bachelor's in nursing degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
It was her own Vermont birthing experience that prompted Vanderveer to pursue a nursing and then a midwifery degree. "I had an absolutely wonderful midwife, and she inspired me to look into it," said Vanderveer, a native of California who moved to Vermont in 1991.
Vanderveer worked for 11 years at Copley Hospital in Morrisville as a Birthing Center nurse learning to care for moms and babies before and while in midwifery school.
As part of her schooling, she did nine months of clinical training at Gifford. "I just really liked the culture here. The midwives and the Ob nurses were really fantastic, and I just felt like this is where I wanted to work," she said.
She realized that dream this month when she joined certified nurse-midwives Meghan Sperry, Kathryn Saunders and Maggie Gardner in practice at Gifford in Randolph and the Gifford Health Center at Berlin.
Vanderveer calls Gifford's midwifery team a "cohesive group." "I'm really excited to join a team of excellent practitioners," she said.
Vanderveer is board certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board. Because of her unique training as a women's health nurse practitioner, her clinical interests include women's care across the lifespan.
She describes her approach as collaborative, where the patient is a member of the care team. She also strives to incorporate evidence-based practices (best standards of care) into patient's individualized needs and goals.
Vanderveer lives in Waterville. She is married to a chef, Chase Vanderveer, and previously owned Winding Brook Bistro in Johnson with him. Together they have three children, ages 13, 14 and 17. Vanderveer enjoys the outdoors, kayaking and downhill skiing, as well as cross-country skiing, hiking, gardening and playing Frisbee golf on the family's property.
Call Vanderveer or another member of the Gifford midwifery team in Randolph at (802) 728-2401 or in Berlin at (802) 229-2325.

Leaders in the North Dakota oil patch hub of Williston say they're disappointed by a reduction in the city's credit rating.
They also say they're committed to managing their debt without putting the burden of the oil boom on local taxpayers.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services says its lowered rating for Williston reflects such things as general fund deficits that could deplete cash reserves and the city's financial challenges related to rapid growth.
It could mean Williston will face higher interest rates on bonds to fund projects such as expansions of the sewage treatment plant and airport.
City Auditor John Kautzman tells The Forum (http://bit.ly/XKV3ax ) Williston has about $625 million in infrastructure needs but not all projects need to be done immediately. The city hopes for help from the Legislature.

It's only October, but downtown Meridian officials are already planning for the Christmas holiday season.
The annual Christmas Parade is the highlight of the city's annual celebration. . But it's only one of scores of events that will be taking place throughout the season.
"I think it's going to be an outstanding event. It's going to be a merry, merry time," said Kate Cherry, executive director of the Meridian Museum of Art.
A news conference Tuesday announced the sites, sounds, and tastes of the family fun events of Merry Meridian 2009.

ingredient information
Sausage Chorizo
A sausage is a prepared food, usually made from ground meat, animal fat, salt, and spices (sometimes with other ingredients such as herbs), typically packed in a casing. Sausage making is a traditional food preservation technique. Traditionally, sausage casings are made of animal intestines, though in modern times the casings are often synthetic. Some sausages are cooked during processing, and the casing may be removed after that. Sausages may be preserved by curing, drying in cool air, or smoking. Care must be taken when cooking to avoid burning sausages unless they are desired in that state, as with all burnt meats, burnt sausages are possibly carcinogenic (can cause cancer) due to elevated levels of benzopyrene.

In today's spoiler-free episode of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter Ducce discusses the anxiety that rises while making game-changing decisions in Mass Effect 3. Is this immersion, or is he slowly going insane?
I have for the first time in my gaming life been exposed to pure decision-angst.
I have been playing through (what I guess) about half of Mass Effect 3 now, and since I frequent Kotaku and other gaming sites I have feverously tried to avoid any spoilers of the end. But as you know there have been a lot of spoiler-articles about how this circus ends and all sorts of opinions on said ending. This discussion has had a really bad effect on me, It have made me to start questioning everything I do in the game so much that I no longer enjoy it.
I play the multiplayer even though I do not feel like it, I dread every choice I make in the campaign. I walk through every crevasse and small room of the game itself — not because I want it, but because I am afraid to miss something important or lose someone.
Now, the thing is: I don't know if this is a good or bad thing? Superficially it seems the game makes me feel bad about not "doing my job" but on a deeper level isn't this just how we should feel when we are completely immersed? A game where you feel that something is on the line?
I can't decide – All I know is that tonight I'm taking a break from it.

Take A Stroll In Park Slope
If you're looking for a new neighborhood to explore and you're tired of the city, head to Brooklyn and go to Park Slope! Pretty much every train will take you there, the F, B, Q, M, and the R. Once you're there, just walk up 5th or 7th Avenue and every restaurant, cafe, or bar you walk into will be amazing. My favorite restaurant is Al Di La, but besides Italian, you'll find Spanish, Asian, American and everything else that you're craving. Admire all of the brownstones and enjoy the warm weather in the meantime. Happy Summer!

Set two is worth hearing start to finish, really. The go-to Disease opener somewhat resembled 6/7's chance-taking Ghost, and by the time Sand came around Trey was noticeably loose and firing on all cylinders. He immediately brought out very atypical funky dance groove in Sand akin to the Boogie from the previous night, with a just little more staccato style thrown-in, and more melodic vision. Really slick, sexy stuff that segued seamlessly into Nellie Kane. Trey hit notes in everything though, from the end of Makisupa to the old school short but SLAMMING Mike's (no, really), and a boogie-down 2001 that went to Weekapaug like-territory. Extra mustard all over the place, jaws all over the floor by the time they decided to rekindle an old classic pairing and treat us to a bonus Oh Kee Pah before the Suzy. Summer tour's on folks!
Oh, and they played a *great* long and experimental Shafty during soundcheck. Bonus soundboard material, please!
