Last year, the media reported a new trend: foregoing big vacations for "staycations," or staying put and using the money saved for turning homes and yards into destination spaces for leisure.
But this year, things are different. If you've just scuttled a summer trip because money is tight and you're a little uneasy about job security, then adding on a new sunroom or canopied deck may suddenly seem mighty frivolous.
For many people, this is shaping up to be a summer of smaller pursuits.
Planting a line of ornamental trees, for instance, to block your view of that one neighbor you wish was not, and who's likely to be home more this summer as well. You won't get the fullest foliage this year, but each new spring will yield even prettier privacy.
Still, the real joy of vacationing is feeling like you're not required to do anything, and that's tough to manage at home. If only there were a way to cost-effectively create some kind of relaxation haven right in the middle of your daily life, a backyard oasis where you could just pop in and leave the world behind. But that's obviously impossible ...
Not if you've got a well-made hammock, it isn't!
"Repeat customers are always telling me the best mini-vacation they've ever bought has been a hammock and a hammock stand," says J.R. Pelletier, manager of TheHammockCompany.com, an international leader in hammock sales. "I think it's that sense of being supported while also being up off the ground -- it really feels as if you've been lifted out of your busy life where the driveway still needs edging and the fence needs painting."
Potential relaxers should, however, be aware that not all hammocks are alike, cautions Bill Russo, president of Nags Head Hammocks, one of the world's leading producers and retailers of hand-woven hammocks.
"A poorly made hammock may not last even the summer, so that's really wasted money," Russo says. "But a well-made one should give you a number of seasons of enjoyment, possibly even year-round, depending on where you live."
One note of caution though. A shady spot is best for setting up your hammock.
"If you fall asleep in direct summer sunlight -- and chances are you will fall asleep -- you won't feel nearly so relaxed when you wake up burned!" Russo says.
And if you time it to before all those lovely new trees start filling in and blocking the view, you can set up your hammock where that annoying neighbor can't help but see you in it, kicked back and relaxing.

Thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Tom and I live in Superior, CO. I love the mountains, travel, camping, hiking, going to the gym, mountain biking, watching movies, going out to dinner or just relaxing at home. You might even get me to go dancing. I was originally brought up in a Christian house hold, but it never really seemed to click with me. Religion has never really played a major role in my life, until now. I have always believed in God, but was never really religious. However, Judaism seems to have a strong attraction for me.
I have spent some time in Israel, and would like to go back soon. While I was there I really enjoyed the country, culture and its people. I'm seeking to convert to Judaism, but really have no idea where to begin, and would like to meet someone who is of the Jewish faith who can accompany me on my journey, and help show me the way. Since I'm also seeking a long term relationship, why not combine the two?
It doesn't have to all be about religion, that's just a part of it. I also like going out, doing things spontaneously and having fun. I love to travel and would like to have someone to go with. I want to find someone who I can grow with personally and spiritually, and have a long lasting relationship and get married. If you think you might be the one for me, I would love to chat.

Dunlop Sportmax Q3 Rear Tires
The Dunlop Sportmax Q3 is the next-generation sport bike tire and successor to Dunlop's popular Q2 tire, featuring Dunlop's new Carbon Fiber Technology (CFT) which incorporates carbon fiber reinforcements into the sidewall. The Dunlop Q3 Sportmax also features an updated tread pattern with longer grooves to better evacuate water which helps wet weather performance and Dunlop's Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) for phenomenal handling and steering grip and feel. IRP provides a larger, more consistent contact patch as you lean into corners, as well as linear steering and handling at various lean angles. IRP tires also offer phenomenal steering and handling characteristics thanks to a taller profile along with sides that taper in more aggressively.
The new Sportmax Q3 represents yet another direct benefit yielded from Dunlop's AMA Pro Road Racing involvement. As the control tire supplier for AMA Pro Road Racing, Dunlop invested in new tire-producing machinery necessary to accommodate race tire production at Dunlop's Buffalo, NY, manufacturing facility. These same high-tech machines are used to produce the all-new Q3 rear tire.

Voting rights expert Zelden to lecture on Bush v. Gore
(Memphis, TN)--On September 14, Dr. Charles Zelden, professor of history at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, will present Rhodes College's annual Constitution Day lecture. He will discuss "Bush v. Gore: Exposing the Hidden Crisis in American Democracy," based on his recently published book about the legal and political drama associated with the 2000 Presidential election. Free and open to the public, the lecture begins at 4 p.m. in Blount Auditorium of Buckman Hall.
During the election, Zelden was an on-air commentator for the local NBC News affiliate in Miami. His book deals with the landmark Supreme Court case, and his talk will highlight ongoing concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.
Professor Zelden, who received his Ph.D. from Rice University, is the author of two additional books on voting rights, "Battle for the Black Ballot: Smith v Allwright and the Defeat of the Texas All White Primary" and "Voting Rights On Trial." He is currently working on a book on the U.S. Supreme Court and elections. The author of several op-ed pieces on Bush v. Gore and election reform in the Miami Herald, Zelden has lectured across the country and has recently appeared on C-SPAN. At Nova Southeastern, he teaches courses on United States constitutional history and political history.

Southlake Carroll baseball team climbs to No. 4 in national rankings
Southlake Carroll's baseball team, rolling along at 18-1, has risen to No. 4 in MaxPreps' national baseball rankings.
Other Texas teams in the rankings are Corpus Christi Calallen, a perennial powerhouse that is at No. 7, and Pearland, which is 11th. San Antonio O'Connor is 24th.
Carroll is in 5A Region 1, Pearland is in 5A Region 3, O'Connor is in 5A Region 4 and Calallen is a 4A team. That means none of them can meet in the playoffs until the state tournament.
Not that it really matters. There are a lot of very good baseball teams across the state, and it seems every year a highly ranked team is bounced from the playoffs early. It's more likely to happen in baseball, it seems, than any other sport.

Massive Accident Involving 176 Cars Kills One and Injures 16 in Tennessee [VIDEO]

Tennessee Pulls Walk-On Derrick Brodus Off His Couch and Onto the Field
From the frat house to the football field — just another day in the life of Tennessee kicker Derrick Brodus. The walk-on freshman was not expected to play or even suit up for the Volunteers in last week's game against Middle Tennessee. In fact, he wasn't even at the stadium — he was lying on a couch in his fraternity house getting ready to watch the game when the call came. "We need you at the stadium. Now."

Bill To Outlaw Shariah Law Constitutional?
Tennessee Senator, Bill Ketron,, is aiming to make it explicitly illegal to practice Shariah law within the state. This bill he believes will reduce the number of terrorists in the state.

Hey everyone, loving this forum and have learned a lot in a really short time.I'm planning on starting a Thru-Hike of the PCT starting late April/Early May heading north and would love some advice on fine tuning my gear list. I'm 34, an avid marathoner, trail runner and cyclist. When I hike I go at a pretty good clip. I won't have any support so I need to start with pretty much everything and I will mail myself a few things to Kennedy meadows (ice axe, bear canister, etc…) and decide there what I need to get through the sierras with. I'll be buying food as I hit towns and will bounce food forward as I need. I'm also going to start stoveless and make that adjustment in Kennedy Meadows if I need to.I'm pretty happy with the list but I love some advice on what I'm missing, or some "what would you do" comments and even some "are you nuts" comments. Some of the list I already own and some I don't so that may influence some of my decisions going forward.BTW I know my pack is a bit heavy but I already own it and fits like a glove. Not sure I want to take a chance on something lighter and regretting it a few weeks in. I live in Canada and won't have anyone to send stuff if I need.And I will be wearing trail runners with dirty girls, long hiking pants, long sleeve light tech running shirt, wide brimmed hat. I may add a short sleeve tech shirt in the mix, not sure yet.Anyways, have at ithttp://www.geargrams.com/list?id=16597
It's a good list, very similar to what I carried. A few thoughts:- I didn't pick up rain pants until Sisters, OR. If I hiked again, I might move that up to Ashland, but I think that most years it doesn't rain enough in CA to make rain pants worth the weight.- Buff + fleece hat + wide-brimmed hat might be overkill. Maybe drop the buff.- Instead of carrying extra AAAs (which will be dead weight 99% of the time), I would just get one of the little Photon lights as a backup. You couldn't night-hike with it, but it would work fine around camp. Just pay attention to how bright your headlamp is and get new batteries when they start to run low.- I'd ditch either the aquamira or the filter.- The Nightlight pad might not be enough on its own down to the mid-20s that you'll get in the Sierra.Have fun out there. And maybe think about starting early if the snowpack stays as low as it currently is.
Nice list.- Montane makes some rain pants (Minimus, 4oz) that are lighter than the GoLite's if you don't want something robust.- Zebralight makes really nice headlamps (ie. H52) that are, brighter and lighter than your BD one and nicer to use (1 x AA vs. 3 x AAA).- A lot of people recommend 2 extra pairs of socks - and many skip the underwear.- Unless you're planning on some huge sections without resupply, I'd be thinking hard about replacing that pack even though it fits well. You could find something else that also fits great and shave off a pound.- It's tough to comment on your clothes because your worn gear doesn't seem to be here.- Do you already have a whistle somewhere else on your gear? (ie. pack sternum strap? headlamp strap?)I'm a fellow Canadian who is also headed for the PCT this year. Have you made any progress on applying for a tourist (B-2) visa? It looks like we need to attend an interview at a USA embassy in Canada, of which there aren't too many.
Thanks guys.Here's the gear worn list http://www.geargrams.com/list?id=16729- The fleece hat is for sleeping. I've tried to sleep in my buff but it just feels weird and my buff is a never leave home without it kind of thing. I may switch the wide brimmed hat to a very light running hat and throw my bandanna underneath if i need more sun protection. I'm carrying an umbrella so I may be over doing it with the wide brimmed hat.- I have both the nightlight pad and a thermarest Z-light. I'll look and think about cutting down my z-rest a bit- The backpack thing is by far my biggest dilemma. I really want to go lighter and I'm aware of what's out there but it gives me a since of security. I had the thing loaded right at 30 pounds with my snowshoes hanging off the back last week and didn't even notice the pack during the hike but it was only 7 hours.- The whistle is already attached to my pack- I'll look into the zebra but I already own my black diamond light- I have dual citizenship so I've got it pretty easy with the whole border crossing thing.- On the water filtering. Would using the bandanna along with aquamira (or any other chemical method) be reasonable? I've thought about this but have never done this in practice.- Rain pants. I honestly may switch out to running tights in the later stages which could eliminate rain pants all together. My pair here weighs 5.25 oz.
- You could use a Golite Umbrella + windshirt + windpants and save 3-5oz. This would also massively improve your sun protection in the first 700.- Like someone else said, wool buff+fleece hat might not be worth it. A Katabatic Hood would give similar coverage as both of those for 1.35oz. This saves you ~1.3oz.- Thermal bottom and top? If this is for hiking you could go lighter with MB Dynamo Windpants and the MB Tachyon Jacket (or Patagonia Houdini Pants/Shirt) to save 4-9oz. If it's for sleeping, you've already got a 20deg bag. If it's just for comfort for sleeping or something, then you know what's best and HYOH, etc.- You could carry two 70oz Platypus bags (35g each) and a 1L Gatorade bottle for the same volume and save ~5oz.- You can use 25' of Zpacks Slick 1.6mm cord (~10g) to save 1oz.- You could save at least 1lb on your pack and still have a framed pack. You could save 1.5lbs if you went frameless and used your GG pad as a frame (like it is designed for).Good luck! Hopefully I'll see you out there!
Edited by ezabielski on 01/05/2014 10:22:06 MST.
Again thanks everyone. I've got the list around 9.5 lbs now with some hypothetical changes, just need to decide if i'm still within budget.Carriedhttp://www.geargrams.com/list?id=16597Wornhttp://www.geargrams.com/list?id=16729
Just so you know, there is the Tachyon Anorak with a full hood, but only half zip. The Tachyon jacket is 1.6oz and doesn't have a hood but has a full zip.
Nice list. My suggestion would be to consider omitting the polycro. It's redundant because the bivy can be utilized as your groundcloth. Polycro is great stuff, but the PCT can be very windy and polycro is a pain in the wind.

Hi from Raleigh, everyone. We're in between shows (had a matinee at 2 PM today that went very well) and I'm hanging out in my hotel room at the moment. As our year is rapidly coming to an end, I wanted to take some time while we're still on the road to give you a glimpse into how we've been doing lately. "Exhausted" probably sums it up, but who knows, maybe another adjective will come forth by the time I'm done writing...
With home so close on the horizon, it can be easy at this point in the tour to lose sight of the impact and importance of the work we have left to do. Someone said backstage the other day - I can't remember if it was Randawg or DR - that we still have 12,000 people to sing for before going home. 12,000! That's a lot of people to say the least, many of whom will be seeing us live for the first time. Every night we are reminded - in spite of the collective road-induced weariness we feel - how special each concert may be for our audiences (e.g. the young man who told us proudly this afternoon that we were his first concert ever, the family who drove 3 hours to catch the concert because our concert is their new Christmas tradition, the Mom who took her two (musically-inclined) sons to see us for their Christmas present, the proud grandmother who sat next to her daughter and granddaughter in the audience...the list goes on and on and on).
At a certain point on every long tour, the different cities and venues we visit begin to blur into one general experience. I just read that and it sounds a little blunt, but it's true. You get off the bus, instinctively find your way to the dressing rooms (and catering...), throw your bag down, go to sound check, do your own thing for awhile, and then sing the same songs you've sung a hundred times over. The monotony of this schedule - coupled with the amount of time spent away from our loved ones and comforts of our own homes - can truly tax the soul, let alone the body. Plainly put, touring's tough on all of us.
BUT, once we're onstage - like we'll be again in an hour or so from now - that fades away for two hours. At this point on tour, believe it or not, the show keeps us sane. The laughs we share onstage (often at each other's expense) keep us energized, as do the smiles that we see in the audience. At risk of sounding overly philosophical, our show is just as much as an escape for us from the monotony of the road and constant dull sense of homesickness (to me, at least) as it is a fun retreat from the craziness of the Holidays for the hundreds of families, new friends, old friends, couples on their first date, couples on their 25th anniversary, etc. who call themselves our fans. The fact that we get to call this our job continues to amaze me.
Furthermore, it boggles my mind that we've sung for over a hundred thousand people in the past three months! I don't even know how many people we sang for in Atlantic City or on tour in the Spring, but I'm sure it's a fair amount. Three years ago, I was substitute teaching with a hazy idea of what I really wanted to do professionally floating in my head (it wasn't that fun, in retrospect), teaching the occasional guitar or voice lesson (that was!), getting emails from Randy about the exponential amount of hits the 12 Days video was getting on YouTube. Frankly, I was growing weary of the updates after the fifth email from The Randawg. Until, that is, I got a message from him telling me that I had to call him back "right away" (something about the group getting back together...). Flash forward three years and here we are. Time flies when you're doing what you love, I guess.
Doing what we love comes with a cost for each of us, though (emotionally speaking, that is). It's always hard to be away from home; for everyone involved, not just us. I'm always reminded, though, that we don't have it that tough at all in comparison to many folks out there who are out of work, have family members serving overseas for months on end, or are fighting private battles of their own of health issues and hardship. Tonight, 45 minutes before our show, I'm grateful for this opportunity, for the finish line that is being home with our loved ones being well in sight, and for how sweet it will be to wrap this tour up with my 9 closest guys over the next week. Wish us luck, continue to send your prayers and encouragement for safe travels and healthy voices, and feel free to sing along if you're at a show.
Just not too loud ;)
Time for me to get back to the venue! Thanks for stopping by.

Attempts to fill retired Superintendent James Anderson's substantial shoes proved unsuccessful and led the Los Alamos Board of Education to convince Assistant Superintendent Mary McLeod to take the reins for at least one year.
Many notables expressed appreciation for Anderson's contributions, including New Mexico's congressional delegation.
Business leader Roger Waterman described Los Alamos as having been blessed that Anderson led the schools for 14 years.
"We have a lot of problems in this town but the quality of education is not one of them and that doesn't happen by accident," Waterman said at the time.
"It takes a lot of people and strong leadership at the top. I think the school system and the medical center are amongst the last two benefits left in this town that attract new families to move here and Jim is a big reason for this. He has high morals and a high commitment to quality products. I think he's a very talented man ... he's contributed so much to our youth ... I'm sorry to see him go but happy he's leaving on such a high note."
Anderson had a significant hand in the creation of two important foundations.
The LANL Foundation, which began several years ago and more recently the LAPS Foundation.

In the present era, several manufacturers of Men's night suit sets are increasing at an alarming rate. Every individual has now reached the capability to elevate the variety and different patterns of designs and they have hit the market with a bang!
Huge multi-national companies are now putting in maximum efforts in order to augment the quality of the clothing and at the same time also cut down on the operating costs through straight down incorporation with other companies.
This will eventually be of great help to the customers as the cost of the garments being sold will gradually come down as well! Manufactures also confess that rather than anything else, the main focus while designing nightwear is given to the extra comfort and ease of dressing elements.
There are various night suits designed for men and along with that they are available in different fabric that is especially available for seasons, summer as well as winter.
Research indicated that specifically in the Indian market, garments related to Men's sleep wear and general night wear section is up-and-coming and being thought as a part of the style sector as well!
While purchasing a sleep wear for men, one need to bear certain thing sin mind like comfort which applies even otherwise but mostly during the night time.
After a hard day of work, any man would only be looking forward to great sleep and certainly he wouldn't want his night wear to be a barrier when it comes to the same.
A perfect night suit would feature comfort, soft fabric mostly silk and not hugging to the body. It shouldn't keep coming up every time you turn or twist on the bad and quick drying is another essential element to be borne in mind! Darker shades would be preferred during the winters and for summers you could go for vice-versa!

Advance for Ducks vs. Cal
The Golden Bears are seeking their 20th win, and Oregon is facing its 20th loss. A look at those numbers in today's print edition of The Register-Guard, with the online version here.
If the Ducks suffer their 20th loss, it will be the seventh 20-loss season in UO history. Interestingly, only one of those coaches wound up losing his job because of it—Don Monson, in 1992, when it was his second 20-loss season.
Three of the other 20-loss seasons came in a coach's first year on the job—Jerry Green, when he followed Monson in 1993; Dick Harter, in his first season in 1972, and Steve Belko in his first season in 1957. The other 20-loss season, the school record of 24 defeats, came in 1922, in the second of George Bohler's three seasons as coach.

Tiger Woods Slept On an Air Mattress After Fight With Wife
From riches to rags -- at least for a couple nights, anyway.
An insider tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now) that Tiger Woods, 34, slummed it on the floor of a deserted house in the days after his Nov. 27 blowout with wife Elin, 30.
Look back on Tiger and Elin in happier times
"When she kicked him out, he couldn't exactly go to a hotel, so he ran over to [pro golfer] Mark O'Meara's empty villa and stayed there," says a resident of Woods' luxe Isleworth, Florida, gated community.
Worst week ever: recap how Tiger's troubles began
Adds the source, who viewed the home after Woods left: "The house was gutted except for an air mattress, some pillows, a TV, snacks and Bud Light in the fridge, and a golf glove on the floor."

For those of you that make your own trail mixes, post your favorite trail mix recipe here.On that very subject, does anyone have the trail mix recipe that NOLS uses on its courses? I'm not sure whether they use the same standard trail mix recipe all of the time, or if they vary it depending on availability of ingredients or cost. If the former is the case, could someone please kindly post it? I'm feeling nostalgic for my NOLS course and the trail mix I had...
Caramel/Apple candy cornApple chipspeanuts
cashews and dark chocolate m&m'scashews, candied stem ginger, cranberries and raisinsvanilla almonds, pepitas, and cherriesSnyder's honey mustard pretzel pieces, smoked almonds and dried veggiesgosh - it really depends on my mood - what's in the pantry and what everyone else is in the mood for
craisins, yogurt covered raisins, dried banana chips
Usually I have some of my dried bananas and apples (both not as dry as the commercial variety) and for a few months dried apricots from my tree. To that I add the usual nut mix (partial to almonds,cashews and brazil nuts...) . On my last trip I enjoyed craisins as well as chocolate chips similar to the M&M (part of a nut mix)At times I crave dates and figs. Occasionally I have had mango as well but hard to find the kind I like. Must have a go at drying that too.Oh, my last batch of pineapple was pretty good too. More like candy (lots of sugar...) than dried fruit , but nice nevertheless. Franco
Okay - here's a little tidbit coming out in my next book. Try slicing the pineapple and sprinkling it with cinnamon. Then place it on the grill or under the broiler. Once it is softened and slightly charred in spots take it off the grill, cut it into smaller pieces and dry it. Totally delicious... if I do say so myself. Now if only I could find a way to keep the guys out of it before our trip. They've eaten 2/3rd's of it already!
I did add a bit of cinnamon to mine but dried it in my food dryer. My problem is that I make my recipes up as I go along and by the time I realise that I have a winner I have forgotten exactly what I did...I add cinnamon to my apples too. Next time I will try the grill bit, I think that I get the idea , sort of caramellizing it. Thanks for that.Franco

Back in the 1980's in the NOLS Cascades trips the recipe for Trail Mix was granola we made, plus "whatever" we felt we could spare that the rations provided like dried fruits, nuts and sometime candy.
I made it so 3.3oz would be lotsa calories. I use 1/2 oz of each of these ( a little less sunflower, little more peanut and m&m)sunflowercashew -raisins ,cranberriesalmondsm&mHazelnutspeanut butter pretzels
I thought everyone sucked on tubes of emulsified pringles mixed with almond butter. This is my fave:Mostly- shelled pistachio nuts- raisins- mini snicker type barsSprinkled with- gummy bears- jelly belly beans- sour patch kids
Chocolate covered coffee/expresso beans are pure gold in trail mix.
Could they be related to espresso?
Uhh...yeah they're sorta related but they're much faster to eat :)
Okay, silly question here. Can you just go down to your local Starbucks, purchase a bag of Espresso beans, and just throw a handful in there? Are they edible in that form?The reason I ask, is that I am a huge fan of chocolate-covered coffee beans. However, I always assumed that the beans are treated/toasted/etc. for "raw" comsumption. I have never seen anyone reach into a coffee bag and pop some beans in their mouth, hence the reason for my perception.Coffee beans in a trail mix for an extra pick-me-up or boost would be a great idea.Thanks for the trail mix recipes, by the way. Please keep 'em coming!
Edited by NightMarcher on 11/03/2009 16:53:14 MST.
Yes, the plain beans are quite edible. They are the same as the ones used in the choc. covered ones. Only difference is the chocolate tastes better than plain ;-) But! By variety plain coffee beans can be much harder to chew - and honestly many won't taste good. So tread lightly on this, the dipped ones are heavily roasted.
Mixed salted nuts and M&Ms in a 50/50 ratio. Never got tired of it!
Sarah,So, basically toasting a handful of Starbucks beans in a non-oiled pan for a minute or so should do the trick, no?
1:1:1:1Raisenspeanutsm&m'sgranolason;t really know what the calories are on this... maybe someone will know.. buts its delishous!-Jace
"So, basically toasting a handful of Starbucks beans in a non-oiled pan for a minute or so should do the trick, no?"Perhaps. All i know is that regular coffee beans will not work in the form that you get them. Way too hard to chew. The chocolate covered ones almost turn to dust in your mouth so they must be very dehydrated/roasted. Cooking them in a pan might just burn the outside but it's worth trying. Coffee beans will give you a good caffeine kick.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. A tough first period cost the Clarkson University mens hockey team as defending national champion Yale defeated the Golden Knights 6-3 before 3,500 fans in an ECAC Hockey game Saturday night at Ingalls Rink.
Clarkson (7-2-1 overall, 1-1 conference) scored first on a shot from defenseman Kevin Tansey at 7 minutes, 25 seconds of the opening period.
But Yale (2-1-1, 1-0-1) responded with a goal from Anthony Day at 8:53 and then a power-play goal from Frankie DiChiara at 10:22 to take the lead for good.
The Bulldogs outshot Clarkson 14-9 in the opening 20 minutes and had two power-play opportunities to Clarksons none.
It set us back on our heels, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said of the first period. We were in penalty trouble because they were more ready for that level of game than we were, to start.
Yale also had a strong second period, outshooting Clarkson 17-8 and extending the lead to 3-1 on a power-play goal from Day. The Bulldogs had four more chances on the power play in the second period, finishing 2 for 6 for the game.
We arent going to be perfect, in terms of our game, Jones said. We were a step off of what makes us good and (Yale) did a good job of swarming us and making us make turnovers.
Yale upped the lead to 4-1 when Jesse Root scored just 3:43 into the third period.
But Clarkson responded with two goals in 65 seconds to cut Yales lead to 4-3. Tansey struck first, on a power play, for his second goal of the night, and Joe Zarbo produced his fourth goal of the season at 9:25.
(Tansey) has a good shot, Jones said. Hes just a competitive player. His growth will be a key to us going forward.
Yale put the game away with two goals in the final 8:28, beginning with a goal from Chris Izmirlian at 11:32 and then an empty-net goal from Matthew Beattie at 18:46.

Mason Senior Named Marshall Scholarship Finalist
Posted: November 18, 2013 at 5:00 am, Last Updated: November 19, 2013 at 7:03 am
George Mason University Honors College senior Stephanie Skees has been named a 2014 Marshall Scholarship Finalist. A social work major with a minor in conflict analysis and resolution, Skees interviewed at the British Embassy on Nov. 16 for one of the nation's most prestigious undergraduate scholarships.
The Marshall Scholarship was established by the British Parliament in 1953 and named after U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall to foster the U.S.-UK relationship after World War II.
Approximately 950 students are endorsed for the scholarship by their universities each year, and 160 of those are selected as finalists. A total of 40 students receive the scholarship to pursue graduate study at a UK institution each year.
"I am honored to represent Mason in the Marshall Scholarship competition because I believe our university promotes a unique culture of scholarship, leadership and global citizenship, Skees says. "I am extremely excited and proud to be given the opportunity to represent the university in this national competition."
Skees has distinguished herself as both a scholar and a campus leader during her undergraduate career at Mason. While maintaining a near-perfect GPA, Skees has participated in collegiate rowing, led the university's Habitat for Humanity organization, conducted research overseas in Taiwan and currently serves as a head resident advisor in the residence halls. She also mentors student researchers at George Mason.
Originally from Elizabethtown, Penn., Skees has focused her social work studies on improving aging policies in the United States by analyzing cultural approaches to aging in other countries. She has completed internships at the Green Acres Seniors Center and Vitas Hospice in Northern Virginia. In 2012 and 2013, Stephanie received funding from the Center for Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and OSCAR to conduct research on filial piety and aging policies in Taiwan.
Skees is proposing to study aging policy at King's College in London before pursuing a degree in social research at the University of Sussex, where she plans to examine comparative aging policies between the Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Her career goal is to become a high-level policymaker in an international organization that supports aging populations, such as the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics.
Zofia Burr, dean of the Honors College, described Stephanie as "exactly the sort of student that the Honors College and George Mason University strive to graduate: academically successful, curious about the world around her, committed to making meaningful change through her research and through her engagement with her community, generous and genuine of spirit."
The Office of Fellowships in the Honors College identifies talented, high-achieving students and assists them in applying for prestigious fellowships. Through outreach and student development, the office works with students throughout their academic careers to help them achieve their goals.
LaNitra Berger, director of fellowships in the Honors College, says, "I am so pleased that Stephanie was selected for a Marshall interview. She has demonstrated her commitment to lead on important domestic and international issues, such as aging policies and affordable housing. Stephanie worked diligently on her application, writing dozens of drafts by the deadline. I think that she will be a fantastic ambassador for both Mason and the United States."
The students chosen for the scholarships will be announced later this month.

H1N1 swine flu virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of swine influenza (flu) virus particles (virions) from the April 2009 outbreak, which originated in Mexico City, Mexico. Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses. This H1N1 strain also contains genetic material from bird and human influenza viruses and is able to spread from human to human. These characteristics give the virus potential to cause a pandemic. Symptoms are similar to those of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. It can be fatal.
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.

If the unit produces power then its not human powered ,its a powered aircraft and a substantially underpowered one at that.Its never going to fly until he stops flapping and starts running faster.
I cant believe the people who built and designed this actually thought it would work,didnt they research the many attempts through history?
Ditch the flapping and put a propellor and motor on it and your off with the birds.
Bottom line is Humans dont have the power to weight ratio for human flapping aircraft to work .

Well that throws a spanner in the works .I watched the videos and the title says this"Man Flies Like A Bird Flapping HIS OWN Wings.." I didnt know there was brushless motors and i guess associated speed controllers ,Lipo batteries,transmitter receiver.wiring etc . What youve got there is powered flight .albeit unefficient powered flight. They should add some more weight like solar panels so they can stay above 5 feet for another 2 seconds.

Keeping her from getting dehydrated is a constant battle (she hates drinking water), but we force her to drink a cup full every time she takes meds (5 times a day) and remind her to drink more during the day.
I've talked with her doctor, and she said she didn't know anything that would help other than the things we're already doing. Mom had a very bad day the day I posted the question, but was doing better the next day. The problem seems to be related to her muscle control, so we're not sure there's anything to do to beyond what we're already doing. I was wondering if anyone else had faced a similar situation and come up with a solution that her doctor, therapists, and family members haven't considered.View Thread

Namur Province
With a population of 500,000 spread over 38 towns, the Namur Province is one of the least populated in Belgium with only 4.3 pc of the total population. The economy is mainly produced by small businesses specialised in building or services. The Namur province was created in 1795 when part of Belgium rallied the French Revolution. The French department of Sambre-et-Meuse was then created on the remnants of the Namur county and the Liege principality.
Luxembourg Province
Km 3 : Chaudfontaine
The town owes its names to several hot springs, unique in Belgium, flowing at a temperature of 36.6 C.
Several of those springs provide lowly mineralised water ideal for the newly born and it is bottled on the spot and sold in supermarkets. Other waters are destined for spa treatment and cure rheumatism. Victor Hugo once dubbed Chaudfontaine the "violet of spas".
The Chaudfontaine fort, partly destroyed during WWII, overlooks the city and offers a superb viewpoint on the valley. On top of the Chevremont hill, the basilica stands above the Vesdre valley and is turned towards Liege.

America's economic health is on everyone's mind these days. And how we rebuild our economy and create jobs is at the forefront of our national debate. Providing businesses with a reliable supply of affordable electricity is key to getting our economy back on track so we can maintain existing jobs and create millions of new ones.
Coal, and coal-fueled power plants, can also be a boon for local economies.Read more +
In fact, a study conducted by researchers at Pennsylvania State University, and funded by ACCCE, looked at direct and indirect jobs associated with coal because of access to low-cost energy. The study found that U.S. coal production, transportation and consumption for electric power generation will contribute more than $1 trillion of gross output – including 6.8 million jobs – directly and indirectly to the economy of the contiguous United States in 2015.
Coal's affordability adds up to more money in the pockets of U.S. consumers, a better bottom line for business and a more vigorous American economy. <<
Now it's time to get smart about clean coal electricity.
Coal is this nation's dominant source of electricity. Click here to see your state's electricity portfolio, how it's affected by energy policy, the people and places behind the coal-based electricity industry and the latest news regarding energy in your area.

Acer is reported to be launching a new 11.6-inch AC700 Chromebook. What is a Chromebook? It's an internet connected laptop that doesn't run Windows and instead uses Chrome OS a more powerful version of Google Chrome's internet browser.
There's no storage and users will store in the cloud by using services like Dropbox or Google documents. Similar to the netbook launched in 2007 Chromebooks are designed to be low cost and low power. And, no annoying updates.
"The new Acer C7 Chromebook delivers a hassle-free computing experience with speed, built-in security and the simplicity of automatic updates. It features a full-size keyboard, fully clickable trackpad, an extra bright 11.6-inch display and over 3.5 hours of battery life. Powered by an Intel Core processor, the Acer Chromebook is fast—boots up in 18 seconds, resumes instantly and high-definition videos play smoothly (yes, videos like Gangnam Style in 1080p, in case you're one of the few left who hasn't seen it). You can easily store your stuff on the Chromebook or in the cloud, with a 320GB hard drive and 100GB of free storage on Google Drive."
You should be aware of the fact that the 100GB of free storage has a time limit of 2 years. You might want to research how you will be affected when the 2 years is up.
The Chromebook will be available starting tomorrow in the U.S for $199 on Google Play, BestBuy.com. It will also be available this week in select Best Buy stores. In the U.K., it's available on Google Play, Amazon UK, PC World and Currys.
If you'd like to learn more about it from Google's perspective, click on Google I'm sure there are some articles written already by some of the computer mavens with the pros and cons. The reviews are very mixed but the price is attractive.

KINGSTON -- It took Tolman 12 long seasons to get back to URI's Keaney Gymnasium for a playoff match. It took Cranston West an hour and 45 minutes to end the Tigers' bid for a berth in this weekend's Division II finals.
Fueled by a dominant attack at the net, the Falcons earned their first trip to the finals since 2009 by overcoming an opening-set loss to defeat the Tigers, 3-1, and snap their impressive 10-match win streak in Thursday night's semifinal-round match.
The Tigers, who along with the Falcons, were one of five Division II teams to post a 15-3 record during the regular season, won the first set, 25-20, only to watch the Falcons take the next three by scores of 25-15, 25-20, and 25-23.
And the key to the Falcons' success was their dominant play up front. Senior hitters Ailis Hanley and Gianna Procaccini and junior hitter Courtney Lambrese teamed up to smack 42 kills.
"Cranston (West) got their offense going, we didn't get our blocking scheme going, and they just got more confidence," said Tolman coach Roger Tow. "They're a good offensive team, and they were getting so confident that the ball must have looked like a watermelon to them."
The Falcons will take on Division II-South rival and two-time defending champion Exeter/West Greenwich in Saturday's 2:30 title match back at URI. The Scarlet Knights rolled to a 25-22, 25-15, 25-14 triumph over East Greenwich in the night's earlier semifinal-round match.
The Tigers led throughout the opening set in their five-point triumph, leading by as many as six points on two occasions (21-15, 23-17) before clinching the match on an ace by Alison Oliveros that grazed the top of the net and fell among three Cranston West players.
But the roles were reversed in the second set, and that's when the Falcons' hitting assault came to life. Cranston West took charge right from the start, breaking out to leads of 8-4 and 10-5 and grabbing its first double-digit lead when a five-point run led to a 17-7 command.
In the third set, the Falcons again led throughout the contest, but only led by as many as five, as the Tigers played tough to stay within a handful of points of their opponent. The Tigers trailed by just two (22-20) before the Falcons responded with the next two points (the final two on aces) to sew up the game.
The fourth set started out as a carbon copy of the second, with the Falcons rolling out to 8-4 and 10-5 leads. But the Tigers clawed back and managed to claim a 15-14 lead on back-to-back aces by Oliveros, and from that point on, both teams battled for the lead.
The Tigers actually owned a 21-18 lead, but before anyone could look ahead to a fifth game, the Falcons came back with seven of the next nine points to seal the verdict.
"We had a shot in that last game," said Tow, "but we just got a little tight at the end. That was a tough game to lose."
Tolman senior outside hitter and co-captain Ana Espinal had a superb night in a losing cause, as she finished with 11 kills. Oliveros had five kills and three aces, Jacqueline Aguilera had a solid game setting, and the Tigers' other senior co-captain, Karen Mejias, led the way defensively.
The loss was a bitter pill for the Tigers to digest, especially since it concludes an excellent season that saw them earn a share of the Division II-North championship with North Smithfield, roll off its double-digit win streak, and win 15 regular-season games for the first time in recent memory.
"It's been a while since we had a season like this," noted Tow, whose team last appeared in the then-tabbed Class B finals in 2000 and lost in five close games to Chariho. "We knew we could compete, even though (the South) was thought of as the better division, but we wanted to prove that we could play with them, and we did that tonight.
"I'm proud of the girls, and I told them that. They're a great bunch and they played hard. The (final) result is not what I expected or wanted, but we did our best and we put it out there."
