New Delhi, India -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/12/2014 -- Weight loss circles are abuzz with the weight loss benefits of natural fat burners like raspberry ketones, garcinia cambogia and green coffee.
A famous weight loss doctor is known to have featured various natural weight loss aids and some of the include garcinia cambogia, green coffee extract and raspberry ketone. These three are supposed to be excellent fat busters that can make one lose weight quick and fast.
"Garcinia cambogia is supposed to be the hottest discovery since it is proven to help lose weight even without diet or exercise. It is supposed to be better than even green coffee extract. Garcinia cambogia is known to burn fat and prevent fat production in the body besides suppressing appetite" says a SlimmersExpert.co.uk spokesperson.
Green coffee extract is known to be rich in chlorogenic acid that is proven to enhance metabolism and slow down fat accumulation by regulating sugar levels in the body. Raspberry ketones, on the other hand, are proven to enhance metabolism by increasing the production of a hormone called Adiponectin in the body. These compounds are also known to suppress appetite.
"Such natural supplements can help lose weight without damaging the body internally. They do not have any side effects, which is why most dieters prefer them" says a SlimmersExpert.co.uk spokesperson.
SlimmersExpert.co.uk conducted a review of Natural Fat Burners hailed by weight loss experts and some of the findings are listed below:
- Garcinia Cambogia Extra – This is supposed to be one of the finest natural diet pills with a rare blend of garcinia extract and raspberry ketones. Garcinia Cambogia Extra not only contains 1000 mg of garcinia extract but also includes 200 mg of raspberry ketones. This makes it a strong and effective fat burner and appetite suppressant that also helps in preventing fat production in the body. This is a pill that has been getting outstanding user reviews and can yield results even without diet or exercise.
- GCB MAX – This is a high potency green coffee diet pill that contains a strong yet safe dose of 800 mg of green coffee extract with at least 50% chlorogenic acid in each pill. No other competing brand comes even close to it as far as strength and potency is concerned. User reviews for this brand have been extremely positive too.
- Raspberry Ketone Plus –Raspberry ketone Plus from Evolution Slimming is the finest supplement that has an optimum dose of raspberry ketones and a potent mix of 8 other natural fat burning ingredients like acai berry, African mango, resveratrol, apple cider vinegar, green tea extract, grapefruit pectin, kelp and caffeine. It can ensure quick weight loss without side effects.
"Such pills are highly recommended for quick and fast weight loss. Garcinia Cambogia Extract and GCB MAX are some of the most sought after diet pills in the market" says a SlimmersExpert.co.uk spokesperson.

Romantic? Undoubtedly. Unique? Absolutely. Expensive? For sure. Through an innovative, open fourth wall, each of Jade's 29 enormous suites overlooks the sea from its chromatherapy-lit whirlpool tub, canopied bed, and private infinity pool. Getting to Jade Mountain can be tedious, even nauseating, but its organic cuisine, doting service, unwavering silence (no TVs, radios, or children), and extraordinary design make the long journey worthwhile.
Off the beach in Marigot Bay, adjacent to upscale shops and a popular marina, this quaint boutique hotel tops the competition in many ways. It's a fine choice for families (warm service; large one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites with modern kitchens and washer-dryers), couples (romantic locale, excellent spa, fresh cuisine), and yachties gone ashore.
Quiet, sophisticated, and stylish, this luxury resort doesn't skimp on amenities -- it boasts a beautiful Olympic-size pool, an exceptional spa and fitness center, an extensive kids' club, and a secluded beachfront with open-air restaurant and lounge. The resort's 49 stately residences range from sizable one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom villas of impressive proportions -- each with a private balcony or terrace and a full kitchen. This is a great choice for families, given the spacious accommodations and many children's perks, but couples will feel relaxed here too, as it is not overrun with loud children.
One of the quieter and more subdued resorts on St. Lucia's northern end, the luxury Cap Maison features plenty of opportunities for pampering and serenity. Rates are about where they should be (high) for a luxury boutique with so much to offer -- a charming spa, waterfront yoga and tai chi classes, two mellow pools, an elegant cliff-top restaurant and bar with stunning views, a small beach, and rooms so gorgeous and comfortable guests will be hard-pressed to find a reason to leave at all. Families with small children might think twice about staying at a resort so focused on maintaining a tranquil atmosphere, though the resort does try to cater to the little ones with deals like letting kids eat free at the restaurant when they're with their parents.
This unique luxury resort in St. Lucia is made up of 32 one- and two-bedroom villas, each carefully carved into the surrounding hillside overlooking the island's iconic twin Pitons. The villas -- which have missing fourth walls, and in most cases, private plunge pools -- are a main draw, as are the spectacular views and lush grounds. The resort also features some fabulous amenities, such as an infinity lagoon pool, a gorgeous open-air restaurant and bar, a (tiny) open-air fitness center, and a lovely spa with black water soaking baths. All of this comes at a price, but Ladera is still significantly cheaper than the ultra-glam Jade Mountain (rates are often around half as much). Ladera is within close range of several of the island's best tourist destinations -- notable cocoa plantations are within walking distance, the pristine white sands of Jalousie beach are a short drive away, and tourist hot spots like the volcano and Tet-Paul nature trails are both nearby.
This upscale Mediterranean-style hillside beach resort on St. Lucia's northern west coast is brimming with amenities: six pools, five restaurants, three bars, tennis, tons of water sports, a spa, and more than 1,500 feet of beachfront. A broad variety of room types fits nearly every budget, and a packed roster of daily activities appeals to virtually every kind of traveler. It's a good pick for families, as villas have up to four bedrooms and there is both a kids club and a teen center on the property. Although the 60-acre grounds special are steep and sprawling, free 24-hour shuttles chauffeur guests wishing to forgo the arduous walks around the property.
Stonefield Estate Villa is a rustic, upscale resort with 18 plantation-style villas set on 26 acres of gorgeous rainforest. Amenities include an exceptional spa, a cliff-top pool, and an open-air restaurant and bar. The property is deliberately unplugged -- meaning villas lack TVs, Wi-Fi, and telephones -- but the stunning atmosphere, and the villas themselves, are worth it for those who can go technology free for a while. The villas are quite spacious, with separate living areas, dining spaces, bedrooms, and kitchens or kitchenettes. And the bathrooms feature an outdoor/indoor shower. The best part, though, may be the private terrace connected to each villa, with a private pool -- and can't-be-beat views of Petit Piton. The only potential drawback for some may be the lack of beach access, but the hotel provides free shuttle to and from a couple of nearby beaches.
Opened in 2009, this upscale 26-room boutique resort rests on a gently sloping hill above Bonaire Bay, providing stunning Caribbean Sea views from virtually everywhere -- whether at the stunning infinity pool, the open-air restaurant and spa, the cozy library, or on the private beach. Three very distinct room types create varying experiences for guests, though all feature elegant furnishings and private balconies. However, like many St. Lucia resorts, a secluded location means guests must rely on pricey taxis or rental cars to do anything outside of the resort.
Opened in 2000, the 49-room Anse Chastanet Resort was one of the first properties to focus on eco-luxury design, and to deliberately shun technology such as TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. The resort offers four open-air restaurants, two beaches, extensive water sports, a beachfront spa, and an outdoor fitness pavilion. Technology-free rooms have wrap-around terraces, many with views of the Pitons. For the price, guests might expect the standard rooms to be a bit more spacious; however, free extras such as daily afternoon tea, twice daily yoga classes, and non-motorized water sports add value. While there is no fitness center or pool, the peaceful location with direct beach access is a serious perk.
The St. James's Club Morgan Bay is a family-friendly, 22-acre property in St Lucia. With four pools, five restaurants, six bars, an excellent kids' club, and an extensive water sports pavilion, this is one of the most amenity-rich resorts on the island. While some guests might appreciate the minimalist rooms, others might find them dull, and bathrooms are small. Beyond the generic furnishings, all 345 units feature private balconies with full or partial ocean views. Most appealing of all are the resort's all-inclusive rates, which are virtually unbeatable across the entire island.

"She's ready to run," said trainer John Shirreffs from his stable office in Barn 55 South Thursday after unbeaten champion Zenyatta galloped on the main track in preparation for the $300,000 Vanity Handicap Saturday.
The 5-year-old mare will gallop again Friday morning before accepting a career-high weight assignment of 129 pounds in defending her title in the Grade I Vanity for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track.
Zenyatta drew the outside post in a field of eight in the Vanity, which will go as the fourth race on the program. She will seek her 11th straight victory under regular rider Mike Smith.
Zenyatta carried 124 pounds when she won the Vanity last year and opened her 2009 campaign on May 23 here with a victory in the Milady Handicap under 126.
The last horse to win the Vanity with as high an assignment was champion Cascapedia, who carried 129 in 1977. Gamely won under 131 in 1968, and Silver Spoon won under 130 in 1960.
Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey said Thursday from Belmont Park that Parading will be flown to California Monday to run in the $700,000 Hollywood Gold Cup on July 11.
"Getting back on the synthetic is the big thing, and running in a big race like the Hollywood Gold Cup will be fun," explained McGaughey of the decision to ship the 6-year-old horse west for the Grade I test at 1 ¼ miles on Cushion Track.
Parading, a Phipps Stable homebred by Pulpit, seeks his third straight stakes victory after capturing the Grade III Ben Ali at Keeneland in his first start on a synthetic surface in April and the Grade II Dixie on the Pimlico turf May 16.
The chestnut has won seven of 17 starts and earned $405,046. He will be ridden back by Kent Desormeaux.
Parading will be accompanied on the flight by assistant Jennifer Patterson and Conservative, who will run in the $300,000 Swaps Stakes for 3-year-olds on July 18. He finished second in the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland in April.
McGaughey is also debating whether to add Pick Six to the flight for the $150,000 American Handicap on turf July 4. McGaughey nominated the 5-year-old son of Dynaformer following a second-place finish in an allowance race on the Belmont turf June 17.
"The weather here has been atrocious," said McGaughey. "We've had so much rain the last two months we haven't been able to train. I'll decide before the plane leaves Monday morning."
Fillies from Europe, New Zealand and the East are scheduled to arrive at Hollywood Park during the next few days for the $700,000 American Oaks July 5. The Grade I test is for 3-year-old fillies at 1 ¼ miles on turf.
Racing secretary Martin Panza said that Dermot Weld-trained Rare Ransom from Ireland and Henry Cecil-trained Apple Charlotte from England are expected to be flown here this weekend. He also expects Puttanesca, trained by Wayne Hillis in New Zealand, to arrive here during that time.
Assistant racing secretary and stakes co-ordinator Dan Eidson added that four invitees based in the East would be flown here Monday. They are the Thomas Albertrani-trained Gozzip Girl from New York, the Ken McPeek-trained The Best Day Ever from Kentucky, the Michael Matz-trained Magical Affair from Maryland, and the Tim Hamm-trained Afternoon Stroll from Pennsylvania.
The invaders are expected to face locally-based Well Monied (Joel Rosario), Mrs Kipling (David Flores), Acting Lady (Rafael Bejarano), Lexlenos (Alex Solis) and Third Dawn (Garrett Gomez).
Trainer Craig Dollase was seeking an added invitation for Nan.
Street Magician, a triple stakes winner in the East, will be shipped to Hollywood Park Monday for the $300,000 Triple Bend Handicap, a Grade I test at seven furlongs on Cushion Track July 5.
Rafael Bejarano has taken a call on the 5-year-old horse, based at Laurel Park in Maryland with trainer Michael Trombetta. Bejarano was aboard Street Magician when he broke his maiden at Gulfstream Park in February, 2007, and when he won his first two stakes: the Aventura at Gulfstream in March, 2007, and the Hirsch Jacobs at Pimlico in May, 2007.
Street Magician won his last two starts following an 11-month layoff, most recently capturing the Boyes Memorial at Presque Isle Downs in Pennsylvania on June 7.
Also scheduled to ship in is defending champion Rebellion, based at Keeneland with trainer H. Graham Motion. National earnings leader Julien Leparoux has the call.
While Zenyatta and Rebellion are ready to defend in two Grade I stakes here, trainer John Sadler will make his own case for the defense in two Grade II turf events. He will send out Black Mamba in the $150,000 Beverly Hills Handicap Sunday and Whatsthescript in the $150,000 American Handicap on July 4th.
Oilgonewile, a recent addition to the Mike Mitchell stable, will make her California debut in the $100,000 Flawlessly Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at one mile on turf July 3.
The Florida-bred daughter of Montbrook scored three firsts and three seconds in 12 starts in Florida before joining the Mitchell stable in May. Joseph Talamo has the Flawlessly call.

My NYC Guide: The Metropolitan Museum of Art with kids: Part 3
1. Spotlighted an Artist: I introduced the kids to Chuck Close. I asked them to make the same faces as the people in the portraits. Of course Owen wanted nothing to do with my art lesson.
2. Took a Break: Ran up to the Roof Garden, bought lemonade and chugged it. Owen won. Ella was disappointed there were no flowers in the roof garden. The sculptures let her down.
3. Took another Brake: Got out of the museum, crossed the street to William Greenberg Desserts for the best black and white cookies this city makes. The boys slept threw it.
4. Lived our Life: Headed back towards the Met and walked north to Ancient Playground. Forgot to apply sunscreen.
5. Played: Played until their shoulders turned pink.
6. Finished: Pushed the boys home in the stroller. Ella used her scooter.
The reason for yesterday's trip to the Met was to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit but the line was 2.5 hours long . . . not worth it with the kids. But it's worth it to me! I already have a babysitter lined up so I can see the exhibit before it closes on Friday. I can't wait!
*You know the Met's entrance fee is a suggested donation, right? Pay whatever you want and the employees never flinch.

Disc & USB Compatibility Video Features Audio Features Network/Internet Functions Convenience Features Remote Control Disc & USB Compatibility Disc Compatibility: The LG BP730 Blu-ray disc player is compatible with many disc types: Disc Type Disc Description Blu-ray BD-ROM, BD-R, BD-RE DVD DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW CD CD-Audio, CD-R, CD-RW Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 54 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format: Better Picture Quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture, with deeper, richer colors. Better Sound Quality: In addition to the same multi-channel sound formats you're accustomed to with DVD (Dolby Digital and DTS), Blu-ray Disc offers Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution, and uncompressed 7.1 channel PCM. Greater Storage Capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD. Backward Compatible: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs. Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will not play. The player is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material.Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet. Occasionally, LG may release updated firmware for this unit that may add or improve the way a feature operates. These updates are available free of charge. This unit is capable of checking the firmware automatically when connected to the Internet via broadband connection. Note: The tested Blu-ray player contained software/firmware version BD1.946.30207.C with an immediate for software/firmware version BD2.196.30402.C (as of 5/21/2013). Visit LG's Support Site for the latest firmware/software updates. AVCHD: AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) is a high definition digital video camera format used to record in high definition or standard definition on DVD, using an efficient data compression coding technology. The format is designed to compress video and audio (Dolby Digital or Linear PCM) data, enabling a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition signal. Front-Panel USB Port (w/ CD-to-USB Ripping): The Blu-ray player features a front-panel USB (type-A) port for playback of video, still image, and music files stored on a connected USB memory device. The player can support USB external hard disc drives (up to 2TB) and USB mass storage class devices (up to 32GB). The USB storage device must be formatted as FAT 32 or NTFS file system. You can also record one desired track or all of the tracks from a CD-Audio disc to an inserted USB storage device. CD audio tracks are converted to MP3 format (128/192/320kbps) and saved to your connected USB device. Compatible Audio/Video/Photo Formats: The LG BP730 Blu-ray disc player supports the following video, audio, and photo files recorded onto disc (BD-R/RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, or CD-R/RW) or USB (MSC/HDD). File Type File Description Audio MP3 (32-320kbps; 16-48kHz), WMA 32-192kbps; 22-48kHz), WAV, FLAC Video XVID, MPEG1 SS, H.264/MPEG-4 AVCHD, MPEG2 PS, MPEG2 TS, VC-1 SM (WMV3) Photo JPEG, PNG, GIF (less than 4,000 x 3,000 x 24-bit/pixel; or 3,000 x 3,000 x 32-bit/pixel) Video Features HDMI (v.1.4): The BP730's HDMI output simplifies A/V connections by carrying video and digital audio in one cable. The HDMI resolution can be fixed at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 4K; or set to Auto, which selects the highest resolution accepted by your television. 4K Video Up-conversion: When connected to your TV using the HDMI output, the BD-P730 scales the output of a standard DVD signal to HD-compatible 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or 4K (3,840 x 2,160). 4K provides four times higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition content. The unit also supports 480p and 480i output if your television is not HD-compatible. Note: To enjoy 4K, you must have a compatible 4K television. 1080/24p: Movies are typically filmed at 24 frames per second and some Blu-ray Discs use the same frame rate. If your TV will accept a 1080/24p signal, the BP730 can pass the signal in its native form, without converting the video. 3D Ready w/ 2D-to-3D Conversion: The LG BP730 Blu-ray disc player supports 3D playback of high-definition 3D Blu-ray discs when connected to a 3D-Ready HDTV via HDMI, along with wearing a pair 3D vision glasses. You can also convert 2D content to 3D and adjust the 3D depth and distance to suit your preference. Deep/x.v.Color: Deep Color allows more accurate color reproduction with deep color depth. The BP730 must be connected to a Deep Color compatible TV via HDMI for this feature to function. The BP730 also supports x.v.Color; meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs, such as AVCHD discs (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format). TV Aspect Ratio: You can select which aspect ratio the player outputs according to your television's aspect ratio. 16:9 Original: Select when a 16:9 wide TV is connected; the 4:3 picture is displayed with an original 4:3 aspect ratio, with black bars appearing at the left and right sides. 16:9 Full: >Select when a 16:9 wide TV is connected; the 4:3 picture is adjusted horizontally (in a linear proportion) to fill the entire screen. 4:3 Letter Box: Select when a standard 4:3 TV is connected; displays theatrical images with masking bars above and below the picture. 4:3 Pan Scan: Select when a standard 4:3 TV is connected; displays pictures cropped to fill your TV screen. Both sides of the picture are cut off. Picture Modes: You can select one of four preset Picture Modes (Standard/Vivid/Movie/User). The User mode allows you to manually adjust the Contrast, Brightness, Color, and Sharpness of the Blu-ray player. BonusView: The BonusView feature provides picture-in-picture capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view addition content (such as director/actor commentary) in a small display window while the movie is playing. Audio Features Dolby Digital/DTS Surround Decoding: The LG BP730 can decode the following Dolby Digital/DTS surround formats; Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master Audio. The player must be connected to a Dolby Digital/DTS surround AV receiver which also supports these same formats via HDMI or digital optical input. You can set the unit's digital output to match the capabilities of your connected AV receiver.

The player's DRC function can be set to Auto, On, or Off. Down Sampling: 192 kHz and 96 kHz digital signals can be converted to 48 kHz for components not compatible with higher sampling rates. Digital Optical Output: In addition to the player's HDMI output, the Blu-ray disc player features a optical (toslink) digital audio output. The player's audio menu allows you to select the digital audio format that is passed through the optical digital output; bitstream (Dolby Digital or DTS) or 2-channel PCM. Network/Internet Functions Network Connection: The LG Blu-ray player can be connected to your home network via its Ethernet (LAN) port or built-in WiFi. The network connection offers access to your PC movie/photo/music files & online LG Premium Apps.

However, remote is extremely clumsy and absolutely EATS batteries. I purchased it for a vacation home and set it up on a Sunday evening then went home. I returned the next weekend and the batteries were toast. Cons: Remote is terrible. 12 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Magic Motion Remote on LG Blu-Ray BP730 Written By Non-Techy, San Francisco, CA on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 I really like the Blu-Ray itself, but the Magic Motion remote is horrible. I returned the first Blu-ray because I thought it was malfunctioning. Turns out, the batteries on the remote were dead--although I had just changed them the day before! It's enough to pull your hair out! Why sell a sophisticated machine with such a crappy remote?! I'm sending this back. Pros: Nice picture quality Cons: Bad remote 11 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Issues Written By Ed, Sedona on Thursday, July 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It was not easy to get it up and running. Difficult to connect to Netflix; took several attempts and a work-around. Was OK after the hours it took to set up until the remote failed. The problem there appears to be a short circuit. The batteries last 24 hours. LG has promised a replacement but their customer service has thus far been unable to confirm shipment. In the meantime the work-around has been to remove and replace the batteries each time I use it. I have to add I have had nothing but trouble with LG's BD670, and am not likely to buy from LG again. Pros: None Cons: Buggy, hard to set up, shipped with defective remote. 14 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

[ Rose Dec 31, 2013 ] 3 answers We have Cox Cable and the magic remote that came with the TV is more difficult to manage than the Cox remote, which still works for most things we want the TV to do. [ Bob Jan 04, 2014 ] HI Rose, Not in my experience. The arrow only works in selcting which functions you want and then the remote works through the blueray device. You will, I believe, have to use the remote that came with your TV. Samsung makes integrated remotes and I suspect LG will do the same shortly. Good luck; happy New Year.

I am extremely intrigued by those who bushwhack to accomplish their hiking lists. It seems intuitive to me, if you keep going up you should eventually find the summit, but coming back down, I imagine, that is the tricky part. How do you know where exactly you are going, when/where you should turn?
I did Mendon Peak with someone who had bushwhacking experience who was completing his NE 100 highest list. We were very careful about it using a map and compass, with assistance of a GPS. Needless to say I was nervous about being out of bounds having read "Not Without Peril" and just meeting up with Ted O'Brien at Wilderness first aid class after he was lost in the woods. I am not about to go bushwhacking by myself and/or without prior knowledge- I do not want to be another WMNF static.
So when I see actual trails that are unmarked like the "Fire Wardens Trail" off Hale (http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=441445) I want to know what it's like. I did hike a little ways down and saw the beautiful birches and ferns, but I didn't know at the time where it went so I went back. Is this trail easy to follow? How many people use it? Why isn?t it on the map?
I have seen a bunch of old abandoned logging roads off some trails (A-Z trail, Garfield trail, etc) where do these go? Does anyone know where trail goes past the log bench on the summit of Mt Tom? How many other nameless summit trails are there in the WMNF?

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal Performance PC 100 by Buck Pomerantz If you're looking for more than just replacement speakers, Focal's Performance Series speakers let the music speak for itself, providing transparent reproduction for all your recordings and listening pleasures. This PC 100 4" speaker uses a lightweight, exceptionally rigid Polyglass cone in a sturdy frame to create accurate, richly-textured sound, whether played loud or soft. Advanced tweeter Focal brought some of their high-fidelity technology out of the studio and into your car with the Performance inverted dome tweeters. This technology results in wider dispersion and a higher frequency response, so you'll notice greater detail in the instruments and voices. Each tweeter features a built-in phase plug and wave guide, which act together to increase the power of high-frequency notes and improve the stereo soundstage. You can also tilt the tweeter for better imaging, a big help in vehicles where the speakers are not optimally placed. Read more Technology that sounds like magic Focal applies molten glass microballs onto cellulose pulp to create their Polyglass cones, combining the crisp response of the rigid glass layer with the warm sound of a paper cone. The aluminum tweeter has been similarly treated with a softer, more easily damped material that makes the treble distinct without sounding harsh. You can expect superior performance from these speakers, whether you power them with a quality outboard amp or your car stereo.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Polyglass Cone: The woofer cone has a cellulose pulp base and is coated with a uniform deposit of hollow glass microballs. The addition of the Polyglass layer significantly increases the cone's rigidity without adding much weight. This combination takes advantage of the accuracy and neutrality of the hard outer surface, but maintains the superior damping characteristics of the cellulose pulp. Surround: The butyl rubber surround is resistant to ultraviolet rays, temperature extremes, and humidity to add to the speaker's reliability and longevity. Voice Coil: The voice coil is wound around a 1" diameter low-mass Kapton former, ensuring no coil deformation. Inverted Dome Tweeter: The tweeter is an inverted aluminum dome, producing a broad sound stage. The tweeter rotates on its post, so it can be pointed toward the listener.

Reflecting on Nebraska's Pivotal 1969 Sun Bowl
The '69 Sun Bowl enabled NU center Glenn Patterson (72) to capture fourth- quarter memories in the Huskers' 45-6 win over Georgia. World-Herald Photo
Omaha W-H: Trash-Talking Bulldogs No Match
1969 Sun Bowl Video from HuskerTapes.com
By Randy York
Here's something worth its weight in college football's magic kingdom: Which two all-time NCAA powers are ranked among the top five schools in all-time bowl appearances and will play each other next week for only the second time ever? That would be Nebraska and Georgia in Orlando's Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day. The Huskers are tied with Tennessee for third in all-time bowl appearances with 49, 10 behind No. 1 Alabama and two behind No. 2 Texas and one ahead of No. 5 Georgia, which has 48. The 'Dawgs, however, rank fourth all-time with 26 bowl wins, and Nebraska ranks seventh with 24. No. 6-ranked Georgia is a prohibitive favorite in only the second match-up between these two longtime national powers. The first and only time the two teams met was in the 1969 Sun Bowl. Nebraska won convincingly, 45-6, in El Paso, and here are six personal memories from that six decade ago experience:
1) The 1969 Sun Bowl provided my first bowl game byline. I was a junior at the University of Nebraska, the sports editor for the Daily Nebraskan and working 25-30 hours a week at the Journal-Star. I was thrilled to see the '69 Huskers share the Big Eight Conference title and earn their first bowl trip in three years. Lincoln sports editor Don Forsythe asked if I planned to make the trip to El Paso, and I indicated that three friends were discussing driving straight from Lincoln to El Paso and then returning to Western Nebraska the morning after the game for Christmas break. Forsythe offered a modest stipend if I agreed to cover the Georgia locker room for the Sunday Journal and Star. I accepted the opportunity and within hours, all three fellow Alliance natives and NU students agreed to share gas money and two hotel rooms. I remember how excited I was because in that same month I learned my number in the draft for the War in Vietnam was 297, and any kind of sun sounded good to four guys who grew up in the Nebraska Panhandle. We left very early on a Thursday morning, changing drivers like clockwork for a 970-mile drive from Lincoln to El Paso. We did the same thing while traveling almost the exact same distance from El Paso to Alliance on Sunday. Yes, it was grueling, but 43 years later, I would do the same thing again.
2) The Sun Bowl game itself was a runaway from the first quarter. Nebraska's Paul Rogers kicked four field goals (50, 32, 42 and 37 yards), and Jeff Kinney had an 11-yard touchdown run to give the Huskers an 18-0 first-quarter cushion. Georgia didn't score until the final six minutes of the game, and history showed how that 1969 team put the Huskers back on a fast track. After beginning the season with a 31-21 loss to USC, Nebraska ended it with a 44-14 win at Oklahoma and an even more dramatic pasting of an SEC team. Even though a lot of Georgia players were barking before and during the game, humility was universal in the Dawgs' locker room. In a Southern drawl that I will never forget, Georgia Coach Vince Dooley said afterwards that in all of his years of coaching, he had never seen a better football team than that '69 Nebraska team.
3) Upon returning to second-semester classes in January of '71, the rumor mill proved true. Linebacker Jerry Murtaugh and others had broken team policy in El Paso, and they were paying for their lack of judgement dearly in winter conditioning. "We had a great time in El Paso, but Coach Devaney ran us to death when we got home," Murtaugh told author David Max, admitting that wasn't the only reason his head coach was mad. Once he returned to Lincoln, Murtaugh started blabbing what Nebraska players and coaches were discussing privately. "Look out for us next year," Murtaugh told the Nebraska media. "We're going to be No. 1. We're going to win it all." Jeff Kinney grabbed Murtaugh by the helmet and led him straight to Devaney, who told his No. 1 tackler to keep his mouth shut. "I had to start running steps again," Murtaugh said. "I started it off right every year. I got in trouble, but I was in great shape. Lots of steps. Lots and lots of steps. The prediction was right. I had so much faith in our players and coaches. Nobody was going to beat us."
4) It's important to remind everyone that Nebraska did not qualify for a bowl game after finishing 6-4 in both 1967 and '68. El Paso launched Nebraska's NCAA record streak of 35 consecutive bowl appearances. It was also the first of 33 straight 9-win seasons for the Huskers. The lack of '67 and '68 offensive punch was solved when Devaney selected 32-year-old Tom Osborne as his offensive coordinator. The 9-2 Huskers had young talent and hit their stride when it seemed to matter most. The '69 Huskers had two second-team All-Americans – defensive back Dana Stephenson from Lincoln Pius X and Jim McFarland, a walk-on tight end from North Platte, Neb. Defensive back Randy Reeves (from Omaha Benson) was an Academic All-American and a National Football Foundation Hall-of-Fame Scholar-Athlete, the same award that Rex Burkhead received earlier this month. Rogers – whose four field goals in one quarter remains an NCAA record – was named the Sun Bowl's Most Valuable Player. Murtaugh was the Sun Bowl's Outstanding Lineman, and Kinney was a shoo-in for Big Eight Sophomore Player of the Year honors. Don't forget that Osborne installed his famed I-formation in 1969. His innovation is reflected in the way he developed and used Kinney that season. For instance, against Big Eight co-champion Missouri (which lost 10-3 to Penn State in the Orange Bowl that year), Kinney caught eight passes for 124 yards. In Nebraska's regular-season finale at Oklahoma, Kinney carried 35 times for 127 yards and scored three touchdowns. He also caught three passes against the Sooners and even threw a touchdown pass to Guy Ingles. The '69 Blackshirts were as stingy as the offense was productive, holding OU Heisman Trophy winner Steve Owens to only 71 yards rushing. It was the first time in 17 games Owens didn't score a touchdown. Murtaugh knew the Blackshirts were loaded with talent and national championship ready. And when the offense emerged, he couldn't resist sharing his optimism with the media because he knew Osborne would maximize an offense that could chew time on the clock, keep the Blackshirts well rested and take Nebraska to a place it had never been … a national championship, let alone back-to-back national titles in 1970 and '71. McFarland, Murtaugh and Stephenson earned first-team All-Big Eight distinction in 1969. So did Ken Geddes at middle guard and Bob Liggett at defensive tackle.
5) Murtaugh believes Devaney promoting Osborne to offensive coordinator before the '69 season laid the groundwork for unbeaten '70 & '71 seasons. Murtaugh now hosts a Legends Radio Show in Omaha on Saturdays and admits that he and Devaney fought their way through four years. "We never got along," said Murtaugh, who found his sense of peace when the Hall-of-Fame coach and best tackler/problem child made up at Devaney's retirement party. "Bob told me that everybody thinks he's a great football coach, but he insisted he really wasn't," Murtaugh related. "Coach Devaney told me people didn't understand how he was able to hire the nine greatest assistant coaches in the United States and would take credit for that. (Those nine were Osborne, Clete Fischer, Carl Selmer, Jim Ross, John Melton, Mike Corgan, Monte Kiffin, Warren Powers and Boyd Epley, a man Osborne convinced Devaney to hire as the first football strength coach in NCAA or NFL history). I told Coach Devaney I never realized how important those assistants were, and I'll never forget what he said next: 'It wasn't me. It was them (the assistants who paved the way to national championships).' That's the way Coach Devaney was. He was a motivator. He got the most out of his players in terms of dedication and loyalty."
6) Devaney also inspired the best from all of his coaches, including Osborne, whose loyalty was rewarded. When he hand-picked Osborne as his successor, Devaney bypassed close friends and capable leaders in Selmer (Miami), Kiffin (North Carolina State) and Powers (Washington State/Missouri), all of whom became Division l head coaches. Osborne and Devaney were different but had a healthy respect for each other. In an FCA meeting with Nebraska student-athletes earlier this month, Osborne recalled asking Devaney if he could say a prayer with him in the final hours before he died. When Devaney nodded yes, he had tears in his eyes. It was a precious moment for both, and Osborne still chokes up when he talks about it. The experience reinforced something Osborne understood then and feels even more strongly about now. Life is not about football or trophies or rings. Life is about faith, family and relationships. Osborne's last day as Nebraska's athletic director is Jan. 1, 2013. Whether the Huskers upset Georgia or lose to the Dawgs, Tom Osborne will walk out of the Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium with his head held high. He has given Nebraska nothing but his very best, and we all appreciate the interim solution that became more than a 5-year journey to help a university, a city and a state that needed him.
