The 10 best weekend getaways from NYC
We've got weekend getaways for adventurers and lazybones alike—all so close to NYC, you can go right now
Much as we love NYC, there are times in every New Yorker's life—let's say pretty much every national holiday—when you've just got to get out of town. The good news is that whether you're seeking adventure or places to relax, these weekend getaway hot spots are so near the city you can just grab your sunblock and get going. So crank up our summer songs playlist and hit the road!
Best weekend getaways from NYC
Bear Mountain, NY
1hr 15 mins from NYC
In the time it would take to make it across town during rush hour, adventurers can get to Bear Mountain for an easy escape from city madness.
Do this: The state park, situated in the mountains rising from the west bank of the Hudson River, which offers a bevy of hiking and biking trails, as well as picnic groves, lake and river fishing access, a swimming pool and a zoo.
Stay here: Bear Mountain Inn, originally built in 1915, hosted Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower back in the day, and has been extensively renovated to include 15 luxury guest rooms, plus a spa and a restaurant. Specials run all summer (the typical peak-season rate is $149 per night). 55 Hessian Dr, Highland Falls, NY (845-786-2731, visitbearmountain.com)
Asbury Park, NJ
1hr 30mins from NYC
The summertime gay community in this shore town has actually been active since the 1950s—and over the past few years, the scene's really heated up.
Eat here: MOGO Korean Fusion Tacos, a favorite among both visitors and locals. Various locations (eatmogo.com)
Stay here: Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, which was originally designed by noted Beaux Arts architect Whitney Warren. Rooms start at $109 per night. 1401 Ocean Ave (732-776-6700, berkeleyhotelnj.com)
Beacon, NY
1hr 30mins from NYC
Beacon is steeped in history (Beacon Mountain, the tallest point of the Hudson Highlands, played a significant role in the American Revolution), but besides its storied past, it's also packed with modern-day culture. The city has an arty, indie spirit that attracts…arty, indie people.
Do this: A former Nabisco box-printing facility on the banks of the Hudson, Dia:Beacon holds collections from the 1960s to the present. Exhibitions meld with works on long-term view from artists including Louise Bourgeois, Donald Judd and Dan Flavin. Take a guided tour (free with admission) every Saturday at 1pm to get the best overview. 3 Beekman St (845-440-0100, diaart.org). $15, students and seniors $12, Dia members and children free.
Stay here: Sitting at the base of Mount Beacon—a mile and a half from the town's center—the Swann Inn of Beacon is a charming bed-and-breakfast. Situated in an 1866 Gothic house, it has five uniquely decorated rooms, which all have retro-cool vibes that would make Wes Anderson blush, including the Red Parlor Suite, a romantic respite complete with a friggin' front porch). 120 Howland Ave (845-831-6346, swanninnofbeacon.com). $160–$195.50/night.
New Hope, PA
1hr 45mins from NYC
New Hope is Bucks County's jewel, unhurried and unassuming, with indie boutiques (onetime East Village staple Love Saves the Day), seasonal-focused eateries (Tastebuds) and forget-all-your-troubles B&Bs galore. Between hopping to different quaint spots, be sure to get back to nature. We suggest cruising on a rented bike down the Delaware Canal towpath.
Do this: With 134 acres featuring hundreds of species of native plants (including more than 80 that are rare or endangered) and stunning woodlands and meadows throughout, Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve offers daily guided walks at 2pm in addition to talks and workshops ("Focus on Ferns," anyone?). 1635 River Rd (bhwp.org). Free–$6.
Stay here: A AAA Four Diamond winner for eight consecutive years, The Inn at Bowman's Hill is damn swoonworthy. Rooms, like Fountain View and Orchard Retreat, have heated tubs for two—if that's your bag. For platonic pals, there's the Penthouse Suite, with its private deck and panoramic views of the property. 518 Lurgan Rd (215-862-8090, theinnatbowmanshill.com). $395–$895/night.
New Paltz, NY
1hr 45 mins from NYC
Beyond all the worth-the-trip views of riverside bluffs and verdant trees, New Paltz is the most historic on this list, with preserved houses that were around 100 years before we even became the U.S. of A. So, yeah. Pretty old.
Do this: Learn about the lives of the 17th-century Huguenot settlers, as performers (dolled up in duds from the period) take you through 30 buildings over 10 acres, including seven historic homes and a reconstructed 1717 church. (Want to retain the back-to-basics spirit as you take in the National Historic Landmark District? Leave the selfie stick at home.) 81 Huguenot St (845-255-1660, huguenotstreet.org)
Stay here: Mohonk Mountain House, set in the Shawangunk Ridge on Lake Mohonk, is sporting and sophisticated, a sort of East Coast version of The Shining grounds (without all the killing and stuff). Whether you choose one of the classic, wood-paneled rooms and suites or one of its private cottages two miles away, your nightly rate gets you access to a range of complimentary activities like boating and swimming, not to mention meals in its dining room. 1000 Mountain Rest Rd (845-765-3286, mohonk.com). Rooms $571–$874/night; spa packages are routinely available.
Sea Girt, NJ
2hrs from NYC
Stretching along beautiful beaches, the small town of Sea Girt is devoid of the fist-pumping antics depicted on MTV.
Eat here: For a bit of romance, dine and tip back a few cocktails at Scarborough Fair, the elegant lounge and restaurant set in a refurbished farmhouse. 1414 Meetinghouse Rd (732-223-6658, scarboroughfairrestaurant.com)
Stay here: The Beacon House, a grand Victorian seaside inn that dates back to the late 1800s. It's just a block from the ocean and bursts with old-world charm. Peak-season rates start at $295 per night. 100 Beacon Blvd (866-255-0005, beaconhouseinn.com)
Hudson, NY
2hrs 20mins from NYC
You've probably heard a lot about Hudson, and here's why: food and antiques. The place does both extremely well— it's a prime option for rustic fine dining (Ca'Mea) and rare retro finds (just about any storefront on Warren Street). But the other big reason why droves of New Yorkers and, fittingly, DIY businesses and developments are staking their claim on the town is because it's all ensconced in a gorgeous Hudson River–side environment, dotted with quaint historic homes.
Do this: The communal, high-end restaurant Wm. Farmer and Sons has a cozy-yet-urban energy, serving up bar snacks (clam fritters, chicken-fried frog legs), small plates (daily crudo) and big plates (from a bar burger with butter-baked onions and tomato relish to seared sea scallops) that make use, whenever possible, of local ingredients. 20 S Front St (518-828-1635, wmfarmerandsons.com)
Stay here: The Barlow beautifully blends old-timey flavor with contemporary amenities. Set in an Art Deco building, the hotel has 16 well-appointed guest rooms with sleek, sculptural furnishings that match the Deco tone, as well as free Wi–Fi, an iPad lending library, Keurig coffeemakers, pillow-top mattresses and Lather Aromatherapy bath products. 542 Warren St (518-828-2100, thebarlowhotel.com). $155–$280/night.
Phoenicia, NY
2hrs 30mins from NYC
Tucked into the Catskills, this Ulster County hamlet is a real melting pot, the kind of place where you can expect to see a conservative old-timer and a Brooklyn lumbersexual sipping Buds along the bar in perfect harmony. For every no-nonsense staple (Phoenicia Diner), there's a hipster newbie (the Graham & Co.). The mellow, no-frills, hippie-dippie local culture makes it easy for anyone to relax here.
Do this: If you're looking to float down the creek's rapids—one of the most popular things to do in Phoenicia—let Town Tinker (which is conveniently located adjacent to Black Bear Campground) be your guide. It rents out everything you need for a tubing day: inner tubes with seats, life jackets, helmets, creek sneakers, wet suits ($40 per day for all of the above; discount offers are sometimes available) and even taxi transportation to and from the creek ($5 per trip). 10 Bridge St (845-688-5553, towntinker.com)
Stay here: Phoenicia Black Bear Campground Located directly on Esopus Creek in the heart of the Catskills, this camp is rustic without being primitive. Choose your own adventure: There's swimming, biking, horseback riding and more nearby. And talk about wallet friendly: Its priciest option, the deluxe rental unit—which is still hella bare-bones—is just $525 per week. 17 Bridge St (845-688-7405, phoeniciablackbearcampground.com)
Shelter Island, L.I.
2hrs 30 mins from NYC
A midsize island just a seven-minute ferry ride from Greenport, NY, and surrounded by Shelter Island Sound and Gardiner's Bay, Shelter Island is all about unwinding, with historic plantations, unassuming cafés, kayaking and, of course, those views that will make your pals rageful that they didn't join you.
Do this: With more than 2,000 acres of tidal creeks, mature oak woodlands, fields and freshwater marshes, Nature Conservancy's Mashomack Preserve is one of the richest habitats in the Northeast. Edged in white by 12 miles of coastline, Mashomack attracts birders and botanists looking for ospreys and a number of rare plants—and regular people like us who just want our Facebook feed to look awesome. 47 S Ferry Rd (631-749-1001, nature.org). Suggested donation $3.
Stay here: Every room at the perennially popular Sunset Beach Hotel has a private sundeck with water views (and loads of Kiehl's products in the bathrooms, yay). Sunset Beach's area, with its curving shoreline and spectacular light, is pretty darn similar to the French Riviera. Plus, EDM heads will want to show up this year too: The hotel is hosting a lineup of DJs, all of whom spun in the Balearic scene in Ibiza in the late '80s, for live Saturday Sessions (July 4th through Labor Day). 35 Shore Rd, Shelter Island Heights, L.I. (631-749-2001, sunsetbeachli.com). $530–$775/night.
The Berkshires, MA
3hrs from NYC
Think of the Berkshires as the Hamptons, minus the nightlife and plus all the art, theater, dance, music and small-town simplicity you could want. Yes, the mountainous region in western Massachusetts has luxury, but it's served in a laid-back setting. And given its jaw-dropping bucolic backdrop, there's no shortage of outdoor activities, either.
Do this: One of the country's largest centers for contemporary art, MASS MoCA, which is set in a converted factory building, focuses on large-scale, immersive installations that more conventional museums just can't handle. There's just as much focus on performing arts as there is on visual here; each year touts more than 75 performances of music (Wilco's Solid Sound Festival has been held here), dance, films, theater and more. 1040 MASS MoCa Way, North Adams, MA (massmoca.org). Free–$18.
Stay here: Oriented toward health, wellness and pampering (not raving), Canyon Ranch, which is centered around the century-old, lovingly restored Bellefontaine Mansion, has a lot to offer: tennis, aerobics, guided hikes and bike rides, canoeing, croquet and more than 40 seminars and classes daily such as "Finding Forgiveness." After all that fresh air and, er, learning, relax in the spa while enjoying the signature Canyon Stone Massage or the candlelit Euphoria body treatment. 165 Kemble St, Lenox, MA (413-637-4100, canyonranch.com/lenox). $2,450–$4,380/luxury suite, $2,120–$2,990/deluxe exclusive room, for two nights (the minimum stay permitted; various custom packages and specials are routinely available).

Refurbished Tricycle Lets You Create Edible Marshmallow Instagrams On-Demand
Digital marshmallow company Boomf quickly transforms social media into a tangible, tasty experience
Last November, we covered the introduction of the world's first ever edible Instagram marshmallows. Using a special printing technique and edible ink, London-based Boomf allows customers to select nine images from their Instagram account or one of their followers, in order to create the ultimate selfie experience.
In what started out as a joint venture between culinary entrepreneur James Middleton and digital product studio Mint Digital, Boomf is now an independent company experimenting with innovative means of production. Demand has been great for the decked-out treats, and orders for the custom marshmallows are now being shipped around the world.
Up until now, the Boomf shopping experience had been completely online. Users would log into the website using their Instagram account and select the images they would want printed. For UK residents, the box of custom marshmallows would be delivered within 2-3 business days but for others around the world, 2-3 weeks.
But the digital world is all about immediacy, and Boomf's all-new retail experience reflects this idea. Now, until September 3rd, customers can get their Instagram pictures printed within minutes at the Boomf on Demand machine, located on the ground floor of Selfridges in London.
The Bod-Pod (Boomf on Demand, Printed on Demand) is a Willy-Wonka like machine that's built out of a refurbished 1950s Pashley's ice cream tricycle. The retro bike has been repurposed to incorporate modern technology-giving customers an imaginative look into what a digitally-infused past may have been like.
A box of marshmallows cost 15 pounds (26 dollars) for a box of 9. This may be a bit on the pricey side, but the candy is sure to serve up a unique experience. Middleton describes the product's possibilities:
There's so much fun we can have with it, because you can give them to somebody that's been dumped by their boyfriend, so they can burn their ex on a campfire, or you can have your ideal person dunked in hot chocolate, and you can give them to your grandmother.
Boomf has other experiential installments in line. Among them are plans for a photobooth that takes your picture and instantly prints it on a 4cm x 4cm vanilla marshmallow.
The company is turning digital experiences into physical ones, and is pushing the boundaries of culinary innovation. It will be interesting to see if Boomf expands its product line into any other digitally-linked sweets. For now, Middleton predicts that their next product will be a giant-sized version of what they already make so well.

I have the opportunity to buy either a .22lr conversion kit that fits my CZ P-01 and my wife's PCR. I'm also thinking about getting a shotgun (I only own handguns at this point). I'd like to get a shotgun for home defense, but I also like the idea of my wife & me being able to train more with our pistols for less $. (Money's tight right now), plus we have had some friends express an interest in going shooting with us, and some have never shot a handgun before.
Also, anyone know anything about Norinco shotguns? One of my local gundealers has a few for under $200. Are they any good?

There's no hiding the success John Beilein and the Michigan coaching staff have had in adding last minute yet impactful players to their star studded recruiting classes in recent years.
Spike Albrecht was the first to make the Wolverines look like geniuses, famously and surprisingly pumping in 17 first half points as a freshman in the national championship game.
Albrecht, who was set to attend Indiana University as a common student just one year earlier, jumped at Michigan's offer playing a key role in the Wolverines 2013 NCAA tournament run.
That very same class, Caris LeVert was a wild card. A long, versatile scoring guard that could seemingly get anywhere he wanted to on the floor while leading Pickerington (Ohio) Central on a run in the state playoffs, LeVert looked elsewhere after the coach he committed to at Ohio University (John Groce) accepted the head job at Illinois.
LeVert's freshman season was a success but in a limited role. Burning his redshirt early, LeVert went on to play in 33 games averaging just 10.8 minutes per game, often times stepping on the floor to improve Michigan's perimeter defense.
In the 2013-14 season, LeVert broke out and quickly became the second best scoring threat for a Michigan team that went on to win the Big Ten regular season championship and advance to their second straight Elite Eight.
LeVert averaged 12.9 points per game, 4.3 rebounds and just over three assists as well.
Now heading into the 2014-15 season after losing Nik Stauskas, Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary, the Michigan coaching staff once again went on the prowl for additional talent in the class of 2014.
Kameron Chatman is undoubtedly the headliner of the class ranked No. 23 overall in the nation and attributed the highly coveted five-star ranking.
Two other additions on the wing could prove to play vital roles for this batch of Wolverines though as Michigan officially welcomed in Aubrey Dawkins and Muhammad Abdur-Rahkman.
Now on campus, John Beilein is ready to begin molding both, and all of the freshmen, into the players Michigan will need.
"We can't wait," Beilein said. "It's like Christmas. We go out there the first couple of days and just teaching them the basics of college basketball.
"Maybe it's unique to Michigan some of the things we do but the basics of college basketball and then at the same time teach them Michigan basketball and even learning parts of the offense given the fact we're going to go in August to Italy."
Dawkins, the son of Stanford head basketball coach Johnny Dawkins, could provide some of the missing athleticism that left along with Glenn Robinson III.
"I know for Aubrey the attraction was his ascension as a player," Beilein said. "He was barely 6-foot-0 in parts of his high school, then he's 6-2 and a Tim Hardaway type of track. Then he's 6-4, then he's 6-5 – he's a full 6-6, maybe more than that.
"But he's an elite athlete and as a result just watching him we thought it was important for us to make sure that we kept it along those lines. I just think his trend is so upward that I like that. I don't like to see guys that are really good when they're juniors and stay there. I just really liked how he was improving."
Muhammad, a 6-foot-3 wing, has a skill set that Michigan is currently enjoying in the form of Caris LeVert.
"With Muhammad, we saw a lot of the qualities that we see with Caris," Beilein said. "That he could get into the lane, he could shoot; he's slippery. You know how those Philly players are, he could get to where he wants to get to."
Beilein adding, "Somehow the ball gets in the basket, how did he do that? Well, he's from the Philly area, Allentown. I just give them props. I've coached several and they can get to the rim."
Originally hearing about Muhammad from an old coaching connection in Dave Rooney who Beilein coached against while he was at Erie Community, some looking on at the quick, late additions could wonder how the Wolverines could properly evaluate and be sold on talent in a matter of weeks.
According to Beilein though, plenty of careful planning and analysis goes into the process.
"Even though sometimes we only take a week or two making a decision, we spend a busy week or two making that decision," Beilein said. "It's not something we just do, we make sure that we do as thorough an evaluation given the short time period.
"The good news of playing late into March is you really, it's the success of the program is the benefit. The bad news is you don't get to go recruiting and so we had a small time frame to see them in March, we had to see them as best we could and then make an educated decision. And we love the decision we made."
With oodles of minutes and scoring production gone, Beilein isn't worried, knowing his program is far from where it was when he arrived back in 2007.
"Starting over because 'Team 99' is going to be very different because the three, the four, five losses, the people that have departed," Beilein said. "So, there are five guys that played in every game, part of every practice in Mitch's case, part of most practices.
"So, it's not starting over but the foundation is there now putting the bricks back in is not going to be as hard as it was seven years ago but it'll be another building point for us, which is good."
"It gives us a great time to start again at ground zero and build everything up again. Obviously some will be ahead of each other but that's, there's not like it's two different, there's veteran seniors and then here's this class; everybody is pretty young."

Exactly when and where is it okay to breastfeed your infant? This question has been on the minds of concerned Americans lately as mothers continue to recklessly feed their hungry babies when and where they want without asking anyone's permission first.
With more and more women unabashedly placing the health of their baby ahead of a stranger's unsolicited opinions, some insist we must put a stop to this irritatingly normal human behavior. During last week's HuffPost Live segment on breastfeeding in public, my co-panelist, etiquette expert Julie Blais Comeau, confidently asserted that there are "certainly" times when breastfeeding is inappropriate and that a mother should "go somewhere else" to feed her baby.
Unfortunately during the segment Julie was unable to offer a single example of a time or place where breastfeeding in public is inappropriate. Don't worry, I thought of a few. Now if you ever find yourself in a situation where you wonder whether or not it's okay to breastfeed, you can use these as the litmus test. The following five locations are "certainly" not appropriate for nursing a baby.
1. In Traffic
|I'm just saying, some of us have to get to work. Be considerate of your fellow travelers. Take your Boppy and move to the shoulder of the road, please.
2. In Battle
|Hungry children can pose a serious distraction in hand-to-hand combat. Feed them before your knife fight breaks out. Besides, you wouldn't want your exposed nips to be nicked by that blade. Ouch.
3. In a Car Chase
|Kids need to be in carseats. Unless you're the getaway driver fleeing the scene of a bank robbery at the exact moment your child wants to nurse, surely you can stop the car long enough to give the baby a snack.
4. In Orbit
5. In a Public Bathroom
|Would you eat your dinner in here? Eeew, of course not. Neither should a baby. There. That's settled.
Ultimately the best way to determine when and where you can breastfeed your baby is to ask yourself this question: Would it be okay to bottle-feed a baby here? If the answer is no, then put your breast away before it gets nicked by a machete and find a more appropriate location feed your child. If the answer is yes, then by all means, feed your baby. If anyone has a problem with it, tell them they can go sit in a bathroom until you're done.

I'm from the northern part of OC. Lived in Huntington Beach for a while.
We're fortunate that, although not a 'shall issue' county, OC's Sheriff Mike Carona has made it extremely feasible for any decent person to get a CCW. Compared to the other urban counties in the state, it's like night and day. Still, there are relatively few permits (under 1500) in OC, mostly because people out here just don't think it's even possible to get a CCW.
I wish it were Florida-style out here, but, hey, this is a start.
Welcome from South Carolina.

text: Iconic TV clothing: from Sarah Lund's jumper to Frank Spencer's beret Sarah Lund's jumper has taken the world by storm - Paul Jones looks at some other character-defining TV attire Comments Written By 10:00 AM, 29 December 2011 They say clothes maketh the man, and when it comes to TV characters they couldn't be more right. Where would the myriad Frank Spencer impersonators of the 1970s have been if it weren't for that beret? How would The Avengers' John Steed have managed to look simultaneously deadly and dapper without his bowler-hat-and-umbrella combo? And just how cool would a leather jacketless Fonz have been? (Still very cool, actually, but you get the point). Of course, clothes don't just maketh the man, they very much maketh the woman, too - which is why Danish detective Sarah Lund heads up my list of seven sartorially significant TV characters... Sarah Lund's jumper Who would have thought a hand-knitted Christmas jumper could ever say "hard-nosed detective"? But Sarah Lund pulls it off - figuratively if not literally. During series one of Danish crime drama The Killing (above), she wears that jumper for days on end, removing it only briefly to wash out the blood and patch up the knife hole. Much imitated but never bettered, the Faroe Islands sweater by Gudrun & Gudrun is coveted by Lundalikes everywhere (and here's the proof). Columbo's raincoat His beat is Los Angeles, city of near-perpetual sunshine, yet Peter Falk's detective rarely removes his raincoat. As well as providing an array of pattable pockets in which to mislay notepads, pens, evidence and cigars, Columbo's coat helps create his trademark crumpled look. If he didn't look crumpled, murderers might start to take him a bit more seriously, and if they took him more seriously, he'd find it harder to catch them. Oh, just one more thing - the raincoat was not simply functional. Mrs Columbo once bought the Lieutenant a new mac that would have done the job just as well. But it wasn't the raincoat, so Columbo "accidentally" mislaid it. Columbo loves his raincoat. Steed's bowler hat and umbrella The Avengers' top agent (right) is the model every English gent should aspire to – bowler hat, black umbrella, deadly martial arts skills. The Fonz's leather jacket "Don't touch the leather" - Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli Chicks dug it, guys coveted it but few people ever got permission to lay their hands on the Fonz's leather jacket. The undisputed coolest man on the planet was so attached to the enchanted garment that he even wore it waterskiing - in this scene from Happy Days that inadvertently coined the phrase "jump the shark". The fourth Doctor's scarf No actor embraced the Time Lord's eccentricity more enthusiastically than Tom Baker (on or off screen). And what better way to express such wanton weirdness than to wrap 30 feet of chunky knitwear around your neck and never take it off? Number Six's blazer "I am not a number! I am a clotheshorse for this excellent blazer and badge combination!" They may have been holding The Prisoner against his will without any explanation, but that jacket had great piping, and you can't argue with great piping. Frank Spencer's beret In his trademark beret and belted mac, the hapless hero of 70s sitcom Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em looked like a member of the French Resistance, which only served to highlight his complete lack of sophistication or guile. Did you ever see a member of the Resistance on roller skates being dragged behind a lorry? No. Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

A call with Chris Anderson and blogging
I keep running into Chris Anderson's activities lately. First, I'm listening to his dW podcast interview on our site this week, and next we had an internal meeting for book authors that Chris came to talk to us about. The main discussion in the call was more about how to approach book writing and some ideas that he found successful for his own bestseller, The Long Tail (see my book list). Some of it rang so true but is still missed by so many authors.
For one, he talked about blogging from the very beginning on the book as he did on his research, and carrying the conversation on regularly and for a long time. Chris started blogging from the beginning. It helped in shape his ideas, but also helped quite a bit when it came time to launch the book; he gave away a thousand copies of the book to all the bloggers who interacted with him on his blog. This, I think, really helped to spread the popularity of his book.
Blogging is certainly popular but to many book authors it is still a new phenomenon, even in the tech industry. With that in mind, many authors think that they should start blogging when their book is nearer completion that from the beginning. I think there are two parts to this: a) in general, for a blog to become even barely known takes a long-time of ongoing and active effort; b) blogging about your book helps to build awareness. In other words, if you already have (a) going for you, then (b) should be easier. However, back to my point on blogging still being new with many authors points to the fact that many of them don't even have (a) going for them.
To give my example, I am working on a book and many of the ideas that I have talked about are spread all around this blog of mine. However, I don't think I ever stated that intention. For me, the ideas are more significant--and even more than that discussion of the ideas--than the point that its for a book. But perhaps I should state that intention right away and define the premise more openly. I'll save it for a different post so as not to distract from Chris' point here.
Another interesting point and one that is dear to his heart apparently--he just launched a new startup BookTour.com on it--is about authors engaging others in live events, book tours, presentations, speaking engagements, etc. I think it's a great idea and fits my philosophy: most people need help on learning how to generate a community around an idea or even themselves. What live or virtual appearances and activities do is help to build that community and reinforce the significance of the work. By Chris' own admission speaking engagements can have a better ROI than book sales, even if they go hand in hand; and I don't disagree with that in terms of getting paid for day-long appearnaces versus spending months on a book. This means that as an author you need to spend the time and effort to actively promote your book and not just rely on the publisher's marketing team. The argument I always hear on this is that most people have full time jobs and do not have the time to do so. This is where I think an idea like BookTour can come in really helpful.
Let's take an online parallel: we at developerWorks are about to launch a new aspect called Expert spaces amongst other features. This allows a person to create a community around their own activities using different social software tools not unlike what groups of folks are doing with our community topic spaces now. Like our spaces now, you can start a blog of your own to talk about your project, link in resources your find useful. If you want to go a step beyond, you could even write parts of your book in a wiki online and ellicit comments about the contents you share.
For our own team, this means that we will now need to help these experts get going on communicating in this new way. BookTour focuses on the specific activity of bookwriting; we have a much wider focus on building awareness about any technical expert. We do that now to some degree, but there is a lot more that we could learn.

Tim O'Reilly on future of Web 2.0/Internet
I listened to our pre-release version of the 40-minute podcast interview with Tim O'Reilly, recorded by our editor Scott Laningham recently. It starts out as a backgrounder for how O'Reilly & Associates got started but moves quickly into the nature of participation, how the Internet and the web is the medium for new business, and the participatory nature of the net (what is now referred to as Web 2.0). Tim agrees with the other Tim (Sir Tim Berners-Lee) that really the term web 2.0 only serves to clarify the aspect first initiated with the Internet: network effects.
It's available on dW Radio and definitely worth listening to. I'll probably make it a supplementary piece for our MIS students to listen to for the class.

Antec is just on a roll this year with refinement of their base products. First we saw the new budget case from Antec in the Antec One. Then we saw an expansion of the Antec EarthWatt series with the Platinum lineup. Now Antec is completely rethinking case fans with the new TrueQuiet Pro 120.
Yeah, I bet you had to do a double take on that picture. It just plain doesn't look like any other case fan to date. The idea is simple if you think about it. Other case fans place a fan within a frame with space between the two to allow for the propeller to rotate. Antec decided to take a frame and attach the propeller to the face of the frame like an actual aircraft propeller.
The one change to the concept of how to build a PC case fan does two things. The space between the frame and propellers on other case fans creates an area where airflow is choppy and thus noisy. As this space is now gone, the noise level is reduced for the TrueQuiet Pro at the same speed. The second is this space is replaced with more fan blade surface area. Larger blades and the reduction in choppy air at the edges improve air pressure.
The new Antec TrueQuiet Pro 120 will be available at major etailers and retailers for an MSRP of $19.95 right now for those in North America. Europe will get their stock by March 22nd. While I can't say this will be the start of an innovation for all case fans, this could become Antec's new standard for their premium case fan lineups in the future. I hope to see their 140 mm and 230 mm versions forthcoming if these perform as well as Antec claims.

"cookery" again
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
The use of the word "cookery" is more or less confined to the British version of the common language that separates our two countries (I'm a Yank). But I thought it was more or less synonymous with "cooking" -- the process of preparing food to eat, and the results of that preparation -- the word "cuisine" being reserved for the finished product when discussed as a part of culture generally.
So, could someone explain either why I'm wrong, or else why the combination proposal of American Regional Cooking and American Regional Cookery has as many votes against as it has for?
I'm just guessing, but maybe it's because the latter is the actual title of a specific book?
>1 AnnaClaire:
Am I blind? I don't see a combination proposal on either of those pages.
Weird. There was one three hours ago.
Cookery was more or less the LC subject heading for Cooking until recently. I often used both tags. I did go back after the LC authorities changed the term and changed at least most of my instances of cookery to cooking.

One of the reasons I've always liked Stewart Brand is he has a way of cutting through a lot of nonsense and revealing salient points about issues without oversimplifying them. Over at the Long Now Blog, he has a summary — citing engineer Saul Griffith — on what would have to happen in order to make much of a dent in global climate change (emphasis added),
What would it take to level off the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at 450 parts per million (ppm)? That level supposedly would keep global warming just barely manageable at an increase of 2 degrees Celsius. There still would be massive loss of species, 100 million climate refugees, and other major stresses. The carbon dioxide level right now is 385 ppm, rising fast. Before industrialization it was 296 ppm. America's leading climatologist, James Hanson, says we must lower the carbon dioxide level to 350 ppm if we want to keep the world we evolved in.
The world currently runs on about 16 terawatts (trillion watts) of energy, most of it burning fossil fuels. To level off at 450 ppm of carbon dioxide, we will have to reduce the fossil fuel burning to 3 terawatts and produce all the rest with renewable energy, and we have to do it in 25 years or it's too late. Currently about half a terrawatt comes from clean hydropower and one terrawatt from clean nuclear. That leaves 11.5 terawatts to generate from new clean sources.
. . .
Meanwhile for individuals, to stay at the world's energy budget at 16 terawatts, while many of the poorest in the world might raise their standard of living to 2,200 watts, everyone now above that level would have to drop down to it. Griffith determined that most of his energy use was coming from air travel, car travel, and the embodied energy of his stuff, along with his diet. Now he drives the speed limit (no one has passed him in six months), seldom flies, eats meat only once a week, bikes a lot, and buys almost nothing. He's healthier, eats better, has more time with his family, and the stuff he has he cherishes.
So in summary, in order to reach the optimistic scenario where there is still massive species extinctions and hundreds of millions of climate refugees, we have to lop off 11.5 terawatts of fossil fuel generation and Westerners have to become semi-ascetics . . . and all in 25 years to have any chance of making a serious difference.
That will never happen. Just look at the United States — this is a country where people were freaking how just a few months ago because gasoline prices briefly hovered above $4/gallon. There were a few voices that said "hey, lets retool our entire society to reduce fossil fuel consumption," but most people I suspect agreed with our soon-to-be President Barack Obama who blasted oil companies for not build more gasoline capacity,
They have been in fat city for a long time. They are not necessarily putting that money into refinery capacity, which could potentially relieve some of the bottlenecks in our gasoline supply. And so that is something we have to go after. I think we can go after the windfall profits of some of these companies.
. . .
We should also be investing in new technologies so we can replace the internal combustible engine, which has served us well, but it's time for us to move on, because we want to get rid of fossil fuels.
That the low gas prices are an enormous disincentive for creation of alternative energy is, of course, far too politicaly sensitive to even brook. And, of course, I don't think you'll be hearing a President Obama urging a new American austerity to save the planet (in fact, his stimulus proposal is predicated on getting American consumption back on its pre-recession pace).
If Brand/Griffth's vision is correct, we would be better off focusing our efforts on ameliorating the effects of global climate change rather than some half-assed attempt to forestall it. There is simply no political will, at least in the United States, for the sorts of changes that would actually be required to achieve the sort of dramatic changes that are really required.

States And Cities Attack Climate Change From The Bottom Up
12/01/10 12:00PM By Jane Lindholm
| Download MP3
The climate bill is dead, at least for now. And there is no expectation that an international treaty will be negotiated this year in Cancun, where the 13th annual UN conference on climate change started Monday. But while Congress and the international community are balking, a number of states and cities are taking matters into their own hands - capping greenhouse gas emissions, pursuing renewable energy and regulating building codes and land use. We talk to Jeffrey Wennberg, the program director for the Center for Climate Strategies and a former commissioner of environmental conservation for Vermont, and Pat Parenteau, a professor of law at Vermont Law School, about the successes, the potential and the limits of this bottom-up approach to climate change.
Send your questions and comments to email@example.com.
Also on the program, Canadian legislators are currently debating a copyright bill that would significantly update how consumers and other users are allowed to use copyrighted material like music, video games, and ebooks. Reworking the copyright laws in Canada could have a far-ranging impact in a digital landscape that crosses international borders. We talk to David Lametti, an associate professor of law at McGill University in Montreal who specializes in intellectual property policy, about the bill and its possible implications.
And for World AIDS Day, an Essex Junction resident and Vermont CARES volunteer shares his story of living with HIV.

At 11 months one of the things baby J loves most of all is to try and push an object through a hole.
The pushing cart that he uses to walk around the house with, has a built in shapes/blocks puzzle, and I observed that J would love to fit the the cylinder through the appropriate hole, but when it came time to fit a square, or a triangle through their appropriate spaces, he wouldn't understand the difference in shapes. He would try and try to push a cube through the circular hole, get frustrated and then throw the block. So I knew it was time to try something different.
I purchased a Hammer Balls wooden toy, by Plan Toys. I modified the toy by promptly removed the hammer {after all I don't want J learning to bang the balls with the hammer}. And thus I turned this really popular toy into a Montessori activity that baby J can enjoy for weeks to come. He absolutely loves to sit on the floor and fit the balls through the holes. His attention span ranges from 3-15minutes on this activity. When he becomes bored he tries to throw the balls, at which point I remove the toy completely and introduce a new activity.
{pushing ball toy with the hammer — excuse the poor centering but I had little eager hands trying to attack the toy}
There are many different makers of similar toys {I happen to have found a great deal on this one} but you can easily find something similar at a local thrift store, or even make it yourself by cutting a hole in a square wooden box.
***I will be creating a special Montessori thread in the Forum in case anyone wants more information, wants to discuss what they are doing for their kiddos, or throw around ideas for Montessori related activities etc… If you'd like to join all you have to do is register and log in. The thread will be in the Parenting forum. And you can access the Forum in the top right hand corner of the menu bar or by clicking here.***

So, Perhaps a silly question, but then perhaps not:
I am the proud owner of a '12 R. I live in the Pacific NW (Portland area) and our winters are relatively mild -- maybe a few days of snow, but mostly just rain. Roads are never salted, of course. My dilemma: store the car for the entire winter and do not allow it to get wet, or...driver Her in the rain? I've seen plenty of ads for older 911's where the seller claimed "never seen rain".

August Buddy Check
In this month's Freeman Buddy Check 16, we show you the important role an oncologist can play in the fight against cancer.
Building trust, forming a bond, and providing patients with the support they need, that's the reputation of Freeman Oncologist Dr. Anisa Hassan, "I feel very passionate about my job and my patients."
In fact, Dr. Hassan feels getting emotionally involved with her patients helps her be a better doctor, "They are looking to you for comfort, guidance, for advice and are giving their lives in your hand and I take it very seriously."
That's why she starts to build a relationship with her patients the day she meets them. "I keep enough time for that first visit and so the patient doesn't feel rushed."
It's made all the difference for Kim Butler who has been fighting Breast Cancer since 2009. "I wouldn't want anyone else, because I know her so well, I know I can call her."

If you're searching for long forgotten candy-bar phones that employ physical keypads, then you're in luck now that both the entry-level Nokia C2-01 and C1-01 are destined to hit Orange UK's lineup. The Nokia C2-01 is the better spec'd handset, but not much compared to most contemporary offerings – however, it features a 2" QVGA display, 3G connectivity, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 3.12-megapixel camera, and a microSD card slot.
Secondly, the Nokia C1-01 might not necessarily come off as better, but it should nonetheless offer the essentials with its 1.8" 128 x 160 display, 3.5mm headset jack, VGA camera, and microSD card slot. Orange UK customers can expect to see both handset grace the carrier's lineup, but there is no official word on when that'll happen or what kind of pricing we'll see with them. Nevertheless, they should happily agree with people who want to use their phones in the cold without removing their gloves.

Faliraki is undoubtedly one of the best destinations in Europe for nightlife – that's if you like your nights out to be loud, wild and a little bit messy. Faliraki is all about having fun and partying hard and is not for the faint hearted. Unsurprisingly it is a popular destination for 18-30's holidays and stag and hen weekends when groups of friends soak up the sun by day and party all night taking advantage of cheap booze and a huge amount of bars and clubs in a concentrated area.
For traditional Greek food you will need to travel out of Faliraki to find authentic Greek tavernas in quieter towns and villages. Faliraki is a purpose built resort that caters mainly for British tastes with British food on lots of restaurant menus as well as Chinese, Italian and Indian. There are plenty of fast food joints for hungry clubbers to grab a burger, chips or a kebab on their way back to their hotel.
Around 10pm partygoers flock to Bar Street to start their evening out. It is along this street that you will find the infamous 'fish bowl cocktail'. Lots of organised bar crawls take place along this street stopping off at venues such as Ziggys, which sells infamous cocktails, Bunny's Pub and Champer's Bar for karaoke and Jamaica Bar, one of Faliraki's oldest and most well known bars.
Club Street in Faliraki is where the party continues until the early hours of the morning. Faliraki has an unrivalled reputation for being one of the top places in Europe for clubbing and it won't disappoint. So when you've exhausted Bar Street head to Liquid for dance music and top 40 hits or try Bed Rock, a karaoke and cabaret bar with infamous insomnia parties on Saturday nights.

A few highlights.......Stewart finished a disappointing 17th in the 26-car main event late Thursday at Bubba Raceway Park, and he ended the night arguing with a fellow driver and complaining with officials. There were barricades alongside his stall, a little something extra to keep the near-capacity crowd a few feet away. Stewart declined photo and autograph requests between breaks, telling those who asked that he would do it all after the finale.
He eventually did, well after he climbed out of his car, walked to the scoring trailer and complained that fellow driver Chad Kemenah blocked him at the start of the 30-lap race. Stewart then hopped on a four-wheeler and drove through the pits to confront Kemenah. Stewart shook his head and waved his hand at Kemenah during their exchange.
Although he started his heat race from the pole, he faded to sixth, failed to qualify for the A Main and then slammed his helmet on a table in his hauler.

Thanks for the write-up delmarco.
That was a massive amount of info you posted. I've done a few DIY's (not car-related) and I know how much work goes into pictures and write-ups. Props for the instructions.
That said, I spaced out completely when it got to the data link screenshots. The sirius-specific and firewall wiring, pull through, glovebox, etc. was a tremendous amount of overkill for me.
I really wish that the DIY was posted in a more linear manner for readability's sake.
Something like:
Here are the precautions. Disconn your HU and batt. If you don't, you will fry your shiz. (this kind of needs to be first, in red, and not 3/4 of the way through a 50 step install, IMHO)
Here is the main install. Take data link cable from here, plug this, this and this into your USASPEC. Plug in your ipod here. Test. If it works, and you don't mind your ipod in the trunk, you are done.
Here is what you want to do if you have Sirius also.
Here is how to locate your front wiring / ipod.
I'm not trying to slight your DIY because, again, I know how much effort goes into these. There is a ton of excellent info there
, just for me it was a very difficult read. Halfway through I was wondering what Sirius had to do with it (which you explained later). Does anyone have a link to just the plain jane installation instructions?

MUMBAI (AFP) – Workers in India's lucrative firecracker industry say illegal Chinese imports are flooding the market and threatening their jobs as the country prepares for the Hindu festival of lights this week.
Diwali, which is on Thursday, is marked in Indian cities each year with the deafening sound of celebratory firecrackers, but those who manufacture them in the southern state of Tamil Nadu fear their decades-old monopoly is being challenged.
"Chinese firecracker imports seem to have taken off in the last two years. But this year the problem has reached enormous proportions," said G Abiruben, president of the Tamil Nadu Fireworks and Amorces Manufacturers Association.
"We have already lost nearly 30 per cent of our yearly sales and things do not look good," he told AFP.
Chinese imports already dominate the market for other Diwali goods, such as lanterns, candles and decorations.
But the Tamil Nadu association says about half a million jobs are at risk from the declining sales of Indian-made firecrackers, and has called for government intervention to stop illegal imports.
Authorities recently issued a public notice reiterating that it is illegal to import foreign crackers without a licence because they contain explosive materials. Anyone caught can face up to three years in jail and be slapped with a 5,000 rupees ($82) fine – though the law is rarely enforced.
But with China continuing to undercut India on manufacturing costs, their cheaper rival firecrackers are widely available in India stores.
One shopkeeper on the outskirts of Mumbai, who declined to be named, said they had received no complaints from customers about their Chinese goods, despite claims from domestic producers that Chinese made firecrackers are more dangerous.
Other sellers insisted they were not dealing in the illegal imports from China.

Members of the Democratic party and the Republican party are aghast that Iran is moving in the direction of a nuclear development program. According to leaders of these parties it must be the policy of the United States of America to prevent any Middle Eastern nation from possessing weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear bombs. I applaud this stance. Of course, the ONLY nation which is in possession of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons is: ISRAEL! I certainly hope that Democrats and Republicans will issue statements deploring Israel from being in possession of weapons of mass destruction. Ironically, the government of Iran–in contrast to Israel– has publicly made clear that it does NOT seek weapons of mass destruction nor does it seek development of nuclear weapons. For some reason, when Iranian officials deplore weapons of mass destruction they are accused by the American Republican and Democratic parties of being for weapons of mass destruction.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani once again made clear his government's opposition to weapons of mass destruction and development of nuclear weapons. He said "the Islamic Republic will not develop nuclear weapons out of principle." He made clear to Iranian military leaders they should be careful in what they say about war or the use of missile training exercises. Sending a missile might result in the missile "bursting into flames and would wreck havoc."11
So, the nation which wants to end use of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear development is accused by the US of wanting to do this, but the nation which is NOW in possession of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear bombs is hailed as a paragon of virtue and peace!!!

We hope you're ready to take some fashion notes today, Zoe Reporters, because we have a new name to put on your radar: Cushnie et Ochs. Known for their body-conscious, siren-like silhouettes since the debut of their line in 2009, the New York-based designer duo that is Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs have continuously refined and expanded their signature look. Needless to say, they have earned our full attention with their latest collection!
Referencing Pedro Almodóvar's eerie film, The Skin I Live In, as the main source of inspiration for fall's vixeny lineup, the pair presented hip-hugging numbers in fabrics from tech jersey to stretch leather with scalpel-reminiscent cutouts throughout. The result? Dresses that fit the models like a second skin. Want to refer back to the sporty-meets-sexy collection when plotting your own autumn outfit agenda? We suggest teaming up with crepe dress with mesh pumps, a metallic clutch and a slicked-back 'do for runway-ready, skintight style that doesn't break the bank.

A Lawrence attorney said today that a decision whether to file a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of a Lawrence family whose son was killed by Lawrence police probably would be made by next week.
"I'll be meeting with them (the family) here the first of the week," said attorney Lance Burr, who is representing the family of Gregory Sevier. "We'll probably have our decision made this coming week."
Sevier was shot on April 21, 1991, by two police officers who had gone to the family's home at the request of the man's parents. A coroner's jury later ruled the shooting was justifiable.
On Tuesday, Lawrence city commissioners denied a $3 million claim the Seviers filed in June agaist the city and three police officers. The denial paves the way for the family to file a federal lawsuit.
"They're more concerned about justice and saving people from tragedy in the future," Burr said. "I think they feel and I feel, no real positive action has been taken to make sure nothing like this happens again in the future."
The family has until April 21, 1993, to file in federal court.

Man dies as truck hits another truck on N3
12:41 13/08/2014
Durban - A man was killed when two trucks collided in on Wednesday, KwaZulu-Natal paramedics said.
"A heavy goods truck smashed into the rear of another truck just past the Shongweni off-ramp this morning," Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said.
Another man was injured in the accident on the N3 just after 06:00.
"The passenger of the truck tragically died at the scene due to the extensive injuries that he sustained. The driver was found outside the truck with serious injuries.
"After the patient was stabilised at the scene they transported him to a local hospital for the care that he required," said Botha.

I always thought truckers have the best view of all the drivers on the road. How did this happen?
Mark Singh Singh 2014/08/13 01:44:09 PM
They have non-functional brains...that's how this has happened
Sbudafaya 2014/08/13 12:53:12 PM
Judging by the way this truck looks I'm certain it was flying at high speed.
kalabafazi 2014/08/13 01:35:13 PM
I used to travel that road often. It was not unusual to see heavily laden trucks traveling at 120KM/H. At that speed a truck loaded with 40T of cargo is going to take a very long time to come to a stop.

Submitted to: Journal of Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
Publication Type: Other
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/1/2007
Publication Date: 10/1/2007
Citation: Waterland, R.A., Travisano, M., Tahiliani, K.G. 2007. Response to "Methyl donors change the germline epigenetic state of the A(vy) allele". Journal of Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. 21:3021-3022. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: We appreciate the explanation offered by Cropley et al. for what they perceive is a discrepancy between their results showing an effect of methyl supplementation on the germline epigenetic state of Avy and ours showing that diet-induced hypermethylation at Avy is not inherited transgenerationally. Demonstrating an effect on the germline, however, is not the same as showing transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Cropley et al. supplemented F0 dams during mid-gestation and assessed effects on coat color in F2 Avy/a offspring. During the period of supplementation the F1 generation was undergoing gametogenesis, forming the gametes that will become the F2 generation. The effects Cropley et al. detected in the F2 generation did not need to be inherited because the F2 generation was, in fact, "present" during the diet exposure! Our study, conversely, was specifically designed to test for transgenerational inheritance of diet-induced epigenetic modifications at Avy. By assessing cumulative effects of methyl supplementation on three generations of Avy/a mice, we showed that the effect of diet on Avy epigenotype is not conveyed transgenerationally. We disagree that we failed to detect inheritance of Avy hypermethylation because there was nothing to be inherited. Cropley et al. offer no support for their assertion that "yellow (Avy/a) mice have no silent Avy alleles." To the contrary, Blewitt et al. showed last year that in oocytes from clear yellow Avy/a females, approximately 20% of Avy alleles are extensively methylated; pseudoagouti females produce oocytes with an even larger proportion of hypermethylated alleles (50%). Hence, in the slightly mottled, mottled, and heavily mottled females that comprised the bulk of our breeding population, we estimate that between 20 and 50% of oocytes contained extensively methylated Avy alleles. Cropley et al. also imply that our study failed to detect transgenerational inheritance of induced Avy hypermethylation merely due to insufficient statistical power. Our lineage-based analysis, however, showed a recurrent transgenerational decline in coat color score in the supplemented group. There is no reason to suppose that this statistically significant effect, indicating transgenerational loss of epigenetic information, will be reversed simply by studying a larger number of animals. Further, Cropley et al. were unable to detect, as we did, an effect of methyl supplementation on offspring coat color when the Avy allele was transmitted from the mother, suggesting our study design was more — not less — powerful than theirs. Finally, it may be time to revisit the notion that "epigenetic inheritance at Avy results from germline inheritance of the silent state." Experiments focused on transgenerational recapitulation of coat color and Avy DNA methylation led to the proposal that epigenetic inheritance at Avy occurs by incomplete erasure of DNA methylation in the early embryo. The recent study of Blewitt et al., however, indicates that Avy DNA methylation is not the inherited mark. Hence, the molecular basis for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance at Avy remains unknown. It is equally likely that epigenetic marks correlated with the transcriptionally active state mediate epigenetic inheritance at Avy.

Sept. 2, 2012
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Phyllis Ocker Field)
Score: #10 Michigan 2, #22 Maine 0
Records: U-M (2-2), Maine (1-4)
Next U-M Match: Friday, Sept. 7 -- at Albany (Albany, N.Y.), 2 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 10-ranked University of Michigan field hockey team scored a pair of first-half goals en route to its first shutout win of the season, blanking No. 22 Maine, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon (Sept. 2) at Phyllis Ocker Field. With the victory, the Wolverines evened their season record at 2-2.
Freshman Shannon Scavelli (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Lakeland Shrub Oak HS) and senior Liesl Morris (Lafayette, N.J./The Taft School) accounted for U-M's offensive production, both registering their first collegiate goal during a five-minute stretch midway through the opening half.
Scavelli's goal came off the Wolverines' first penalty-corner opportunity of the contest. Instead of taking a direct shot at the top of the circle, junior Rachael Mack (Bromsgrove, England/Bromsgrove School) dribbled the ball to the right side before firing it a low bouncing shot. Scavelli got her stick on it and redirected a shot along the turf past Black Bear goalkeeper Syndey Kolysher at the 14:50 mark.
Morris scored less than five minutes later, at 19:15, on a diving shot deep in the circle. Junior Michelle Roberts (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke HS) carried the ball into the circle, pulling the defender and goalie to the left side before passing to Morris, who laid out to reach the ball and knock it into the lower right corner of the cage.
U-M outshot the Black Bears 10-3, including 6-2 in a scoreless second half, and outcornered them 7-4. Senior/junior Haley Jones (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) did not face a shot on goal but picked up the shutout -- the eighth of her career -- while Kolysher earned six saves in the Maine goal.
Michigan (2-2) will return to the road next weekend, heading to Albany, N.Y., to face a pair of ranked non-conference opponents. U-M squares off against No. 19 Albany at 2 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 7) and No. 6 Connecticut at 2 p.m. on Saturday (Sept. 8). Both games will be hosted at the Great Danes' Alumni Turf.
