Brew your own living compost tea at home and watch your plants explode! BGH recommends using both the Foliar Pack and the Root Pack in your compost tea brew. The finished tea should then be used both as a foliar and a root drench (see PDF attachment for complete instructions).
Compost tea containing the right ingredients (Foliar Pack, Root Pack, molasses and high quality worm castings at a minimum) can contain over 30,000+ strains of bacteria, fungi/mycorrhiza, protozoa, and nematodes.
This incredible bio-diversity promotes:
- Explosive root growth
- Protection from
- Disease: Powdery Mildew, Grey Mold, Root Rot, etc.
- Pest: Fungus Gnats, Root Aphids, etc.
- Breakdown of organic materials into usable plant nutrients
- Increased plant vitality
- and much, much more
You will see a top-to-bottom difference in your plants usually within 1-2 weekly applications; some customers actually see a difference within the first couple of days!
The Foliar Pack contains bio-pesticides and will organically control most pathogenic pests and insects.
The Foliar Pack was designed as a 100% safe, non chemical spray or drench.
The Foliar Pack includes but is not limited to:
-Bacillus sp.
-Beauveria sp.
-Metarhizium sp.
-Verticillium sp.
-Rhodospirillum sp.
These are all naturally occurring microbes that may help plants deal with environmental stress.
The Root Pack is a proprietary blend of highly concentrated beneficial fungi and bacteria. The root pack is designed to promote plant health by boosting the immune system, increasing shoot and root growth, multiplying flower production, and contributing to the overall well being of your plants! The Root Pack hasover 20 species including (but certainly not limited to) the following:
-Pseudomonas flourescens: This is a saprophyte that creates colonies in water, soil, and on plant tissue. It is known to suppress plant diseases by acting as a systemic (a unique ability). Once it enters the vascular system of the plant, it can produce antibiotics which may prevent fungal and bacterial diseases from taking hold.
-Bacillus: Bacillus is best applied to young plants and seedlings, so that it can take hold and colonize on the developing root system. Here, it will offer protection by limiting the growth of fungal organisms like fusarium. This bacteria is known to supress other fungi and bacteria that cause scab, powdery mildew, sour rot, downy mildew, and early leaf spot, early blight, late blight, bacterial spot, and walnut blight diseases.
-Trichoderma: Trichoderma is a beneficial fungus, that is known to seek and destroy other harmful fungi in the soil/media. The presence of trichoderma can cause the plant to activate its own SAR (stimulated auto response), which serves to boost its own immune system.
-Streptomyces: Streptomyces is a beneficial bacteria that i sknown to produce antibiotics as well as enzymes, and deter harmful fungi.
The highly concentrated Nute Pack is an ideal way to boost your plants ability to do what it does best: grow and flower. With the proper application, you will see a noticeable difference in growth, yield and overall vigor.
The Nute Pack is composed of:
-Nitrogen fixers, which convert nitrogen gas in to usable nitrate. Nitrogen fixers also will increase plant growth as they produce vitamins, auxins, and gibberllins. Nitrogen fixers give a boost to seedling germination and overall yield.
-Phosphate solubilizers, which will dissolve fixed tricalcium phosphate in to the usable form monocalcium phosphate. These little guys also produce organic acids (citric acid, lactic acid), hormones, and enzymes which will help in nutrient uptake and general plant vigor.
-Potash mobilizers,that will seek out Potash near the root zone and bring it to the roots of the plant. It is great for low K soil, or coco, since coco is known to "hold" K.
-Mycorrhizae. This product has 125 spore colonies per gram of each of the following endo mycorrhizae:
- Glomus intraradices
- Glomis mosseae
- Glomis aggregatum
- Glomis clarum
NOTE: Each Pack can be used by itself or in combination with other specific ingredients in a compost tea brewer. In order to achieve maximum results and diversity it is best to use the Packs with a compost tea brewer. If you decide to use the Packs by themselves and without brewing them, here are the application instructions:
Foliar Pack: Add one teaspon (5 grams) of the Foliar Pack to 1 liter of non-chlorinated water. Mix well to dissolve. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to allow talc carrier to settle. Pour liquid off top, watering plants to the point of saturation, and/or spray entire plant. Apply every 7-10 days to maintain microbe populations. Best applied at 60%+ RH. For aggresive application use every 4 days.
Root Pack: Add one teaspon (5 grams) of the Foliar Pack to 1 liter of non-chlorinated water. Mix well to dissolve. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to allow talc carrier to settle. Pour liquid off top, watering plants to the point of saturation, and/or spray entire plant. Apply every 7-10 days of entire cycle for best results. As a seed treatment dust with Root Pack prior to planting.
Nute Pack: Best applied early in plant life cycle, and during transplants to larger containers. Add 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 grams) of Nute Pack to 1 liter of non-chlorinated water. Mix well to dissolve. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to allow talc carrier to settle. Pour liquid off top, watering plants to the point of saturation, OR:
Mix directly with soil or coco at rate of 1/4 tsp per gallon of container size. As a seed treatment dust with Nute Pack prior to planting.
If you use the the Pack to make a compost tea, use the instructions in the PDF attachment and follow the application instructions below:
Application: Dilute as little as 1 cup of brew to every 5 gallons of stock solution for recirculating or drain to waste, or use as an individual drench via hand watering. This works GREAT in a cloning machine or when presoaking your cutting's media. Make sure to add any nutrients or additives and pH BEFORE adding the brew. The day after a reservoir change (once every 7-10 days) is a good time to apply.
It is also advised to foliar feed with this tea once a week at full concentrate. Just strain it first so that it doesn't clog the sprayer.
If you are battling an existing pest or pathogen problem, use at full strength, without diluting. Pour tea directly in to crown and foliar as well.
If you have any questions regarding brewing your own compost tea please contact us. BGH has been brewing compost tea at our retail locations for many years and we have worked with many of the top experts in the industry in order to achieve maximum results. We would be happy to pass along our knowledge to you so that you can brew the best compost tea possible.

(CNN) -- Lawmakers expressed shock - and a desire for more information - after Gen. John Allen, the top American military commander in Afghanistan, was ensnared in a growing scandal that brought down CIA director David Petraeus at the end of last week.
"Disturbing is the word that has come to my mind since all of this has come to light," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said on CNN's "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien."
"Really, I think it goes without saying if you're the director of the CIA, if you are a four-star general in the United States Army, that you have to hold yourself to a higher standard. And you can't put yourself in a compromising position," the Florida Democrat said.
Wasserman Schultz made the remarks after authorities announced that Allen is under investigation for allegedly sending inappropriate messages to Jill Kelley, a woman who has been linked to the Petraeus scandal.
Allen, who is the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force, has denied any wrongdoing, a senior defense official said.
Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., said the thickening scandal has prompted a lot of "whys" -- including why Congressional leaders with oversight over intelligence and homeland security weren't informed of potentially compromised information. The National Security Act of 1947 stipulates the "congressional intelligence committees are kept fully and currently informed on the intelligence activities of the United States."
"Congress' role is oversight. There will be oversight hearings, but the real question is about this administration. Why the opaqueness? Why the transparency? What did they know, when did they know it?" Price asked, also on "Starting Point."
"There are real questions that need to be answered," he continued. "This administration and these individuals need to answer questions about whether there was any compromise in American intelligence or security."
Wasserman Schultz agreed that "an investigation has to be done," and that Congressional leaders on the House and Senate intelligence committees could have been told sooner about investigations into Petraeus' extramarital affair. But she cautioned against injecting politics into a situation with national security ramifications.
"Let's not have this spiral downward into something that just becomes more politics. We just came off an election," she said.

Guards Andrew Gilman and Chase Haltom hit three-pointers in the opening minutes to stake the Wabash basketball team to an early 6-3 lead, but not much else went right for the Little Giants in a 69-50 season-opening loss to Wilmington in the Little Giant Tipoff Classic.
Wabash will meet DePauw University in the tournament's consolation game on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
Franklin College, a winner over DePauw in the opening round, will clash with Wilmington in the championship game at 3:00 p.m.
A rash of first-half turnovers that came in bunches — 21 in all — doomed the Little Giants. Wilmington played a sound opening half, hitting 50 percent of its shots, and led 37-22 at the break. Wabash closed to within 11 in the second half, but another 13 turnovers kept the Little Giants from mounting a serious challenge.
Wilmington's speed, athleticism, and defense was on full display. The guests held Wabash to just six field goals in each half, and Wabash would shoot just 29 percent for the game (12-42). Wabash had nearly three times as many turnovers (34) as field goals (12) in the contest.
Junior forward Aaron Brock (right) scored 16 points with eight rebounds to pace the Little Giants, but he also had seven turnovers. Sophomore forward Wes Smith missed all seven of his field goals, turned the ball over nine times, and scored just five points. Junior guard Chase Haltom shot the ball well (4-7 FG, 3-5 three-pointers), but he too had seven miscues.
Twenty players saw court time for Wilmington, which emptied the bench down the stretch. The Quakers were balanced in scoring with five players scoring eight or more points, including the 14-point effort by 6-8 forward Brandon Rogers and the dozen points from R.J. Brown, who hit 5-of-6 field goals.
Wabash rookies AZ Zinnerman (two rebounds), Brian Shelbourne (two rebounds), Seth Bawel (six points, two rebounds), and Nick Curosh (two points, three rebounds) all earned playing time.

IPOs Set to Raise Most Cash Since Crisis
U.S. companies are on track to raise the most money through initial public offerings since before the financial crisis, driven by the same thirst for risk among investors that has pushed the stock market to new highs. Telis Demos reports on MoneyBeat. Photo: AP.

House of the Week: Pacific Northwest Castle in the Woods
Erika Riggs | Zillow Blog | April 24, 2013 | link
The stone castle in the middle of a forest clearing looks like something out of the pages of a Grimm fairy tale.
"What's so striking to me, you come to this pedestrian gate and there's this bridge across the creek which makes it like a real moat," said listing agent Jean Groesbeck of Coldwell Banker Bain.
"The water runs through the creek to a waterfall, and when you walk to the waterfall, it spills into a pond. It's the most beautiful oasis, and there's salmon that come through that creek," she said.
The home was designed to be a true castle — stone walls, circular design and all. The only difference from the medieval structures and this castle, located in Sedro Woolley, northeast of Seattle, is the amount of light the home has.
"People think it's going to be cold and damp," Groesbeck said. "But there are nice large windows that add a lot of light. The home was designed to be an open floor plan."
The house sits on 20 private acres. Despite being just a few miles off the highway, Groesbeck notes that the home feels like a completely remote setting.
Nearby hiking trails allow the owners to explore the area, and wildlife abounds: deer, elk, raccoons and any other number of animals.
"It's going to appeal to someone who loves nature," Groesbeck said.
Measuring 2,972 square feet, the home has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths as well as a hot tub and sauna. A monthly mortgage payment is calculated to be $4,903, assuming a 20 percent down payment on a 30-year mortgage.

Oregon Communications Studies Graduate Schools
Communications Schools may offer Certificates, Masters and Doctorate degrees in Communication Studies as on-campus programs. Communications studies majors may learn to convey information, 'get' the mindset of their audience, and, to do so with specific goals in mind. For instance, they might study how to shape messages and brands, interact with audiences and make use of digital technologies to sell, inform, educate or entertain. Students who pursue a communications degree on campus may learn a broad spectrum of skills and knowledge such as how to speak in public, write speeches, strategize, persuade, lead, and collaborate.
How to Find Communications Schools
Students can find regionally accredited communications schools by city, state or country – if they want to study abroad. Aside from location and general feel of a campus, students might approach their search with a degree level in mind. Also, there are schools for communications majors of all types. So, it may be helpful to refine your search based on an area of emphasis you might want to explore. Or, to look for a communications graduate program that might prepare you professionally for a specific type of career. A few areas of emphasis within communications studies that might be available on campus are as follows.
- Health communications
- Strategic communications
- Journalism and media
- Integrated marketing communications
- Public Relations
Masters in Communication Studies
Applicants to Masters in Communications Studies programs are required to have earned a Bachelors degree. Some communications schools offer a Master of Science in Communications Studies while others, a Master of Arts in Communication Studies. While they both use analysis, the MA tends to approach things qualitatively (e.g. social context), the MS uses more quantitative methods like statistics and technology. Students who pursue their communications graduate degree on campus might benefit from small class size and individual attention.
Graduate Certificate in Communication Studies
Some communications schools offer students the opportunity to add onto their present skills with a graduate certificate in communication studies. These short-term programs tend to target a few courses, which may help students refine expertise. Often, certificates mirror their school's Masters programs so that students might transfer their credits to finish their degree later on.
PhD in Communication Studies
As a terminal program, the PhD in Communication Studies is a research-focused degree. Students who pursue their PhD on campus may have a fair bit of interaction with faculty as they research and prepare for their dissertation.

2007 Volkswagen Passat ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Sophisticated style, European flavor.
The Volkswagen Passat is a mid-size sedan similar in size to the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. It was completely redesigned for '06, and is unchanged for model year 2007, though wagon versions have been added to the model lineup.
The 2006-07 Passat is longer and wider, larger and more mature than previous-generation models. It offers more interior room, particularly for back-seat riders, so a six-foot passenger can now sit behind a six-foot driver. It boasts generous standard content and a beguiling mix of high-tech and haute couture. And while the previous model was among the safest cars in America, the structure of the new Passat is substantially improved.
Its steering is precise, with effort that automatically adjusts to the situation. Its six-speed automatic transmission is smooth and responsive, and its brakes are excellent.
The base engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 200 horsepower that should satisfy most needs, while returning 23/32 city/highway mpg with a six-speed manual transmission.
The optional 3.6-liter narrow-angle V6 growls when pressed and delivers robust torque, allowing the Passat to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds.
Traditionally, the Passat line has included a wagon as well as a sedan. This time Volkswagen rolled out the new sedan first, during 2005 as an '06 model. The wagon followed in early calendar-year '06. Packing 35.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity, and returning 18/26 city/highway mpg even with optional all-wheel drive, the Passat wagon presents a more easily managed alternative to a big, tall SUV.
The 2007 Volkswagen Passat is offered as a four-door sedan or five-door wagon. It's available with a 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or a 280-hp, 3.6-liter V6. Four-cylinder sedans can be ordered with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Wagons and V6s come with the automatic only. The V6 models are available with VW's 4Motion all-wheel drive.
The base Passat sedan is available with a manual transmission ($22,960) or an automatic ($24,035), while the wagon comes standard with the automatic ($25,235). All come with a nice level of trim. The climate control system includes air conditioning and a pollen filter. The leatherette-upholstered front bucket seats adjust manually eight ways, with additional adjustment for the head restraints and lumbar support. Increasing interior utility are 60/40 split/folding rear seats, in the sedan as well as the wagon. Also standard are power windows; an electronic parking brake; central locking; heated outside mirrors; an eight-speaker stereo with in-dash CD player, MP3 capability, and an auxiliary input jack; three auxiliary power outlets; and 215/55HR16 all-season radials on 6-1/2 x 16-inch steel wheels.
The 2.0T comes with the same 2.0-liter turbocharged engine as the base model. The 2.0T sedan is avaialble with the six-speed manual gearbox ($23,960), the six-speed automatic ($25,035), and the wagon comes with the automatic ($26,235). The 2.0T add niceties such as ambient interior lighting, illuminated footwells, six-way power for the driver's seat (plus four manual adjustments), split folding rear seat with armrest, storage and pass-through, dual sunvisors with illuminated mirrors, chrome exterior trim for the window surrounds, body moldings, and 16-inch Catalunya alloy wheels with all-season tires.
The 3.6L sedan ($29,960) and wagon ($31,160) come with the V6, 17-inch Le Mans alloy wheels with all-season tires, power sunroof, Sirius Satellite Radio, and all the features on the 2.0T. The all-wheel-drive 3.6L 4Motion sedan ($31,910) and 4Motion wagon ($33,110) are identically equipped.
Options for the 2.0T include Option Package 1 ($1,750) with a power sunroof, six-disc in-dash CD changer, Sirius Satellite Radio (including activation and three months service), heated front seats, and heated washer nozzles. Package 2 Luxury ($4,400) for 2.0T includes Package 1, plus leather seats with 12-way power up front; 3-way memory for front seats and mirrors; leather shift-knob and multi-function steering wheel; dual-zone automatic climate control; fog lights; automatic headlights; environmental lighting on exterior mirrors; rain-sensing wipers; HomeLink; switchable auto-dimming interior rearview mirror; and interior wood and aluminum trim. Package 2 Sport ($5,450) for 2.0T includes all of the above, plus a sport-tuned suspension and 235/40R18 all-season tires on Samarkand alloy wheels. Brushed aluminum interior trim replaces wood and aluminum.
Similar Luxury ($3,250) and Sport ($4,030) Packages for 3.6L include essentially the same equipment, plus high-grade amenities such as Park Distance Control, a cargo net, and sunshades for the rear (sedan only) and rear-side windows. Additionally, the Luxury Package for the V6 upgrades to 235/45R17 all-season tires on Le Mans alloy wheels.
Stand-alone options for 2.0T and 3.6L include 17-inch ($400) and 18-inch alloy wheels; bi-xenon headlights with adaptive steering ($950); Dynaudio premium sound ($1000); DVD navigation with glovebox CD changer ($1800); adaptive cruise control ($975); heated front seats ($225). An iPod adapter ($199) will join the list later in the model year.
Safety features that come standard on all models include front airbags, seat-mounted side-impact airbags for driver and front passenger, side curtain airbags, four-wheel-disc brakes and ABS, speed-variable electromechanical steering, electronic stability control (ESP), tire-pressure monitor, and a security system. Rear-seat si.
Completely new last year, the 2007 Volkswagen Passat has a presence common to well-crafted cars. It is a stunning example of Volkswagen's goal of melding the aesthetic and the technical. It has a dynamic stance and just enough extraneous shapes and creases to make the car interesting from various angles. Its look is an evolution of the Passat's often copied lines, as there was little reason to break completely with tradition.
The nose is aggressive, with the medallion-shaped grille, vee-shaped contours on the hood, and a large VW badge. Composite headlamps frame the nose like a pair of eyes, staring intently down the road, and large intakes along the bottom of the nose reaffirm the car's performance intentions.
In profile, the Passat's substantial overhangs signal a heftiness associated with large, luxurious automobiles. The wheels and tires, especially the optional 18-inch wheels, fit well within the wheelwells and underscore the Passat's look of a well-grounded automobile. The sweep of the roof is of the modern, sporty sort, its coupe-like contours delineated by chrome trim surrounding the side glass. Chrome is also used in a trim strip to tie together the front and rear fender arches and the sharply cut tail, which is defined by round, horizontal taillamp clusters that echo the shape of the front lights.
The Volkswagen Passat benefited from an all-new, roomier cabin for 2006, which changes little if at all for 2007. The overall design is well designed and continues VW's tradition of quality materials, sensible gauge layout, and an ergonomic correctness about the driver's relationship with the controls.
The seating position is commanding, the seats themselves a good combination of comfort and control, with especially good lateral and under-thigh support. Standard 10-way (and available 12-way) adjustability the seats and a fully adjustable steering wheel ensure a good fit for all body types.
The Passat offers good rear-seat legroom. We found a six-foot passenger could sit comfortably by a six-and-half-foot passenger.
The available wood trim and leather upholstery make the car feel like a junior VW Phaeton, minus tens of thousands of dollars on the bottom line.
The dashboard design is broken into upper and lower layers, avoiding the monolithic, crowded look of many contemporary control centers. The upper panel, housing the air outlets and deep cowl shading the gauges, is darker in contrast to the lighter lower panel that handles various accessory functions, including the button for the new electronic parking brake, rotary controls for the headlamps and, to the right of the steering wheel, the engine start/stop slot.
The center console flows rearward from the dash, the navigation screen, climate controls and shift lever nestled within a handsome expanse of wood. Flanking the shifter are buttons for ESP deactivation, an Auto Hold function to keep the car from rolling backward on hills, and optional Park Distance Control. The chrome surround for the shifter looks nice but reflects the sunlight at some angles, causing glare. Two large cupholders fit between the seats just forward of the folding armrest. The furry material around the cupholders looks like it could be a haven for crumbs, not good for people who eat in their car. Storage is available in a number of storage bins, including a sunglasses holder.
The Passat's interior ambience is best defined as understated luxury. Despite the cockpit's many creature comforts and electronic controls, there's a simplicity about the design and functionality that helps drivers fulfill their assigned task without confusion or calamity. Optional sunshades for the side windows and backlight help keep light and heat levels down by day. Ambient lighting helps with interior illumination at night. An umbrella holder in the driver's door, complete with a drainage system so a wet umbrella can be stowed without harm, makes us feel like we're in a Rolls-Royce.
Instead of fitting a key into a column-mounted ignition switch, the entire fob is pushed into a dash-mounted slot. To stop the car and eject the fob, simply push it again. What might seem a gimmick is in reality a boon to safety and reliability: A dangling keychain can prematurely wear an expensive ignition switch or cause leg injury during a crash. However, we found it hung up sometimes when we tried to exit the car in a hurry, and was hard to pull out, which was annoying.
The Passat wagon can carry a surprisingly large amount of cargo, even without folding the back seats down. Pull the cargo cover over your precious cargo hides it from prying eyes. Fold the back seats down simply by flopping the seatbacks forward. This expands the cargo area, though the rear seats do not fold perfectly flat.
Driving Impression
The Volkswagen Passat is available with a choice of engines and this time around we're finding ourselves favoring the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in some respects over the 3.6-liter V6.
The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that comes on the base and 2.0T models is responsive and works well with the six-speed automatic. Volkswagen and Audi seem to have solved some of the drivability issues we've expressed in the past about the compatibility of the 2.0-liter turbo with the automatic transmission. On previous-generation models, the turbo and automatic didn't work together: The turbo would lag and the transmission would upshift right when we stepped on the gas and wanted to go, which was not good when we were moving out of a slow lane into a fast lane with trucks looming in our rearview mirror. All of that seems to be gone now; the automatic on the 2007 models seems to work just fine with 2.0-liter turbo engine.
The 3.6-liter V6 is a smooth engine. Responding with an approving growl to the driver's right foot, the narrow-angle V6 delivers a robust flow of power, taking the relatively heavy Passat to 60 mph from a stop in about 6.6 seconds. The 3.6-liter engine has good torque down low, and once underway it revs freely, happily climbing toward the 6200-rpm power peak without harshness. But it sometimes hesitates at the bottom end. Step on the gas and there's a moment when nothing happens, both from a standing start and when cruising slowly. This can be annoying.
Otherwise, the six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic control feels well suited to the 3.6-liter's powerband. A highly robust unit, it's designed to handle much more power than the V6 can deliver. Gear control is smooth when shifting manually using the Tiptronic.
The optional sport-tuned suspension lowers ride height (by 15 mm) and stiffens the springs and shocks. But even the standard settings feel far more sporty than in the previous generation. Body roll, brake dive and acceleration squat, all undesirable traits of former VW chassis, have been eliminated, and torque steer is all but nonexistent.
The 2.0L Wagon we drove felt like an old man's car. It did not encourage sporty driving. But it was quite comfortable in parking lots and on bumpy neighborhood streets, with a nice, cushy ride.
We found the Passat 3.6L sedan to be very stable at high speeds (135 mph), tracking straight and true. These are benefits of its balanced chassis with multi-link rear suspension and MacPherson strut front suspension. The front suspension does a good job of handling the conflicting duties of the front tires to both pull and steer the car.
The Passat's electromechanical rack-and-pinion steering is very responsive and adjusts the power-assist based on steering wheel angle and vehicle speed. It also corrects for side winds as well as minimizing column vibration. We can attest to its precision while making rapid lane changes at high speed.
Braking is excellent. The four-wheel discs (ventilated in front) provide direct feedback, and the ABS threshold is set high enough to allow a good measure of late braking for the sporty driver. Overall brake feel is superb, and the car stops from high speeds with little drama, aided by Brake Assist (as we found out on the Autobahn, when an old, wheezy, and plastic-bodied jalopy left over from the Communist era pulled into our lane about 75 mph short of our velocity).
We've also driven a Passat 3.6L sedan equipped with the 4Motion all-wheel-drive system, though we haven't had a chance to try it out on slippery or snowy roads. Volkswagen has offered all-wheel drive in the Passat since 1984, but the current system was all-new for 2006. The electronically controlled system is designed to work effectively with the ABS, traction control, electronic differential lock, and electronic stability program. On dry pavement, where we experienced it, it was largely invisible. We recommend.
The Volkswagen Passat is a sophisticated car with a high-quality cabin. It's roomy and comfortable. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine makes a much better companion for the automatic transmission that it did on pre-2006 models and we can recommend this combination. The ride is smooth and comfortable and the chassis is well controlled at high speed. The available 4-Motion all-wheel drive is an excellent option for bad weather. And the wagon makes for a highly practical car.

FULLERTON – Two burglary suspects held a family against its will in a Fullerton home while hiding from officers during a police search, authorities said Tuesday.
The search began about 11:15 a.m. Monday, when Huntington Beach detectives conducting surveillance of several men suspected of robbing residences in that city saw the men breaking into a home near State College Boulevard and Lambert Road in Brea, authorities said.
Three men fled from Huntington Beach detectives in a vehicle, as Brea police officers were called in for assistance. The men abandoned the vehicle near Imperial Highway and Puente Street and fled on foot into a residential tract in Fullerton.
Fullerton, Brea, La Habra and Huntington Beach police officials, with the assistance of a CHP helicopter, searched the area but were unable to locate the men.
About 4:30 p.m., after the search was over, Fullerton police received a call from the residents of a home in the 3900 block of Madonna Road who had been held against their will by two men, Fullerton police Sgt. Jeff Stuart said.
The men, who police believe entered the home through an unlocked door, are believed to have been the suspects sought in the earlier burglaries, Stuart said. Police suspect they hid in the home to avoid the search.
"They hunkered down in the house," Stuart said. "Once they left the residence, the homeowners called police."
No one in the residence was injured, Stuart said, and they gave no indication that the two men were armed.
Citing the active investigation, police declined to release descriptions of the men.

Imagine a take-it-out-of-the box-and-plug-it-in device that, within minutes, can transport you into aviation experiences and adventures anywhere in the world. Redbird Flight Simulations founder Jerry Gregoire thought that idea might be a winner, too. He and his team of developers grappled for months on how to make a simple-to-use, ready-to-go flight simulator for people who like to fly, not just those who like to tinker with computers.
Meanwhile, AOPA research about those learning to fly showed that quality flight simulation is an important element in the success of student pilots. Recognizing the maturation of desktop flight simulation hardware and software, others in aviation were coming to the same conclusion, including those at King Schools, Flying magazine, PilotWorkshops, EAA, and others.
In a true "mother of invention" kind of way, Gregoire's new Jay "flight experience platform" seems ready to fulfill on the important mission of engaging pilots of all types by immersing them into scenarios that allow them to determine the outcome of flights, fly over high-resolution virtual terrain to exotic locations, and experience aircraft as simple as a Cub and as nostalgic as a Lockheed Constellation.
The project works something like this: Gregoire and company build the Jay desktop systems in Austin, Texas. Pilots order them from the AOPA website. Publishers and training organizations from throughout GA send information about flight experiences and adventures to a team of Redbird developers, and they are transormed into downloadable scenarios. Pilots then "fly" the scenarios, some of which include decision points that allow users to determine the outcome of the flight.
The heart of the system is the Jay, a purpose-built, high-end computer with an advanced graphics card running Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D simulation software. Prepar3D came about in 2009 when Lockheed Martin purchased the commercialized version of Flight Simulator from Microsoft. For more than 25 years, pilots used ever-advancing versions of Flight Simulator to experience aviation. Microsoft shut the product line down following the release of Flight Simulator X.
Recognizing the potential for further development, Lockheed Martin purchased Flight Simulator X and continued the progression, releasing a new version for developers. The Prepar3D software powers all of Redbird's simulators from the Jay and TD desktop models through advanced full-motion devices replicating everything from piston singles to twin turboprops.
"The goal for Jay was simple," Gregoire explains. "If my mom can't take it out of the box, plug it in, turn it on, and have it up and running, then it is too complicated.
"We at first used a plastic yoke and throttle quadrant to keep the costs as low as possible, but they felt cheap and we knew from our experience with the TD desktop simulators that they wouldn't hold up," Gregoire continues. After much testing, the Jay computer comes in a steel case with the metal yoke and throttle quadrant permanently attached. Two thumb screws hold the 27-inch high-definition monitor to the top of the case. A custom keyboard with highlighted shortcuts is included. Upon start-up, the system loads the flight simulation software and brings up a launch page from which the pilot can choose one of nine aircraft profiles, a location for the flight, time of day, and wind and weather conditions. Another tab allows access to preloaded flight scenarios. Additional scenarios can be added through an optional Internet connection or via a thumb drive and a USB port. More options include rudder pedals, a mouse, headsets, and even a Redbird Cygnus system that allows a pilot to fool his iPad electronic flight bag into flying along with the desktop system.
The system even allows two pilots to fly in formation through the Internet, or to share a virtual cockpit from two different systems anywhere in the world.
"Working with Redbird, AOPA now brings to the marketplace a real and meaningful flight experience," says AOPA President and CEO Craig Fuller. "The exact experience can be determined solely by the aviator, who has dozens and dozens of variables from which to select—or an individual can collect and fly scenarios designed by Redbird Media, a division of the simulator manufacturer."
Among the entities already signed on to work with Redbird Media in creating scenarios are AOPA Pilot and Flight Training magazines, the Air Safety Institute, Flying magazine, the Experimental Aircraft Association, PilotWorkshops, and King Schools. Other companies, publishers, and associations are expected to join the network in the coming months.
Gregoire credits Jeff Van West, director of Redbird Media, with moving the Jay from being just a simple desktop system to one with a great deal more potential. Van West, former editor of IFR magazine and co-author of the book Flight Simulator X for Real-World Pilots, notes that gamers want to fly the most exotic airplane they can find, and many of them design advanced scenery and aircraft profiles that they share with friends. Pilots, on the other hand, want to be continually challenged by flight experiences, which the network of organizations involved with the Jay project will provide.
Articles with associated Jay scenarios will be flagged in print and online, alerting Jay users to download the scenarios (in this issue, see "P&E: Technique," page 78 and "P&E: Never Again," page 94). Users with an Internet connection can read the articles on the Jay display and then immediately fly the scenarios.
Challenges will be inserted into the scenarios, giving the pilot audible and visual cues of various options. For example, one scenario follows an AOPA Never Again story where a pilot is trying to get home despite some deterioating weather across his path. You join this flight in the air, hearing the voice of your passenger and ATC, and getting options to continue or divert several times along the way. All along, you can refer back to charts and other resources on the ever-available virtual kneeboard.
While the Jay is not a certified simulator and can't be used to log time toward a new certificate or rating, Fuller believes it can increase pilot engagement and involvement.
"Over time, I've come to understand that the simulated flight experience is a real and meaningful type of flight experience," he explains. "It is something that can show you new places. It's something that can help improve skills. It's something that can even allow you to compare how different aircraft handle similar flight missions."
Gregoire expects aircraft and avionics companies to develop new aircraft profiles and new avionics suites for Jay users. "Imagine," he says, "the ability to virtually fly a new avionics package as it might look in your particular model of aircraft."
Another possible use is by flying clubs and flight schools to introduce potential new members or students to aviation experiences. The Jay's Internet link also will allow online competitions among flying clubs and other groups, as well as online communities who might share experiences, flights, and competitions.
Cost of the AOPA Jay by Redbird is $2,490. Most scenarios are free to any Jay owner. However, some scenarios—such as those by PilotWorkshops—will be by subscription or one-time fee. With software upgrades and new features seamlessly downloaded to the Jay, the ability to develop new and engaging scenarios is, well, virtually unlimited.

King Schools has long been recognized as an innovator in aviation training, with founders John and Martha King having trained hundreds of thousands of pilots over some four decades. Already a sales agent for the Redbird TD series of sophisticated desktop simulators designed for flight-school use, John King says his company is "delighted to be a part of this breakthrough." King Schools will be providing scenarios for Jay users.
"The Jay, and the ability to load scenarios to be flown, has the promise of being one of aviation's most powerful tools for bringing people into aviation," King says. "The way most people are exposed to aviation is in airline terminals and the back of an airliner—an experience that makes it difficult for them to grasp that aviation is humankind's most inspiring achievement. We have chosen scenarios that we hope will give nonpilots the opportunity to appreciate the science, beauty, and adventure that Lindbergh enjoyed so much.
"In addition, the Jay allows pilots to fly the same scenarios that challenged the risk management skills of other pilots, and safely make their own decisions and see the results. There is no better way for pilots to improve their own risk management skills."
Mark Robidoux is a cofounder of PilotWorkshops.com, a company that creates monthly premium online training scenarios for thousands of pilots, including some 2,000 who each month pay $20 to download interactive courses. According to Robidoux, PilotWorkshops will be providing premium, scenario-based IFR training for the Jay. Its IFR Mastery series is a natural fit for the Jay. "Our subscribers have been asking for a way to 'fly' the scenarios we publish in IFR Mastery and the Jay will provide them that ability. With our focus on proficiency training, we are thrilled with the potential of the Jay to help instrument pilots gain valuable experience and stay sharp between flights."
Robert Goyer, editor in chief of Flying magazine, also sees potential in the Jay. "Two years ago at EAA AirVenture, Flying discussed with a number of friends in the industry the great opportunity we all had to use flight simulation technology to allow pilots to fly complex and risky flight scenarios without the risk to life and limb. Today that concept is a reality with the advent of the Jay. We at Flying look forward to working with Redbird to give our readers who own a Jay the opportunity to try their hand at flying the very same flights they read about in riveting detail in our magazine. A few clicks and you're in a whole new world, thanks to this exciting new technology."
Jack Pelton, acting president and CEO of EAA, says his association is committed to creating a vibrant and growing aviation community. "Growing participation requires as many avenues as possible for people to experience aviation and flying. The Jay project will give people the opportunity to experience many of the communities that EAA is involved in, such as homebuilt aircraft, warbirds, vintage aircraft, and aerobatic flying," he says.
"We hope that through our EAA articles we can provide a Jay owner the opportunity to experience flying an aircraft from these various communities—a mission in EAA's B–17 Aluminum Overcast or the Ford Tri-Motor, for example. It will also provide a wonderful opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to experience flying the numerous homebuilt aircraft we feature.
"Imagine a Young Eagle flight coming to life or being relived any time you want on a Jay. We believe this is another wonderful way to reach out to inspire and grow participation in aviation."
The AOPA Jay by Redbird makes its public debut at the Sun 'n Fun International Fly-In and Expo April 9 through 14 in Lakeland, Florida. Numerous Jays will be stationed around the grounds—including at the AOPA tent—for pilots to try out. Of course, one of the fun challenges of Sun 'n Fun is the arrival procedure. I've flown the Lake Parker Arrival nearly 25 times in the past couple of decades. Now, Jay users can fly it with me. Jays shipping now and at the show include a scenario that puts you on the arrival, mixing it up with other aircraft of all sizes and speeds. Come along as I act as your virtual coach while we seek out the power plant, the big orange ball, and the wedding-cake tower. Oh, and we may have a few surprises for you along the way, so be prepared for anything. —TBH

How To Make Your Blog Speed Up and Load Faster
Source: maxminzer.com
Google and other search engines care a lot about user experience. One of the things that often frustrates people browsing the internet is website speed – how fast websites load and ready for viewing and usage. If real people don't like slow websites neither does Google.
Word Press is built with heavy PHP codes that do take time to load. Hence, any Word Press-based website loses some potential for ranking better in Google search results. However, there's a solution: WP Super Cache Word Press plugin.
This post will show you how to install and setup WP Super Cache plugin in 3 minutes (video tutorial included).
Check out Max's walkthrough here (complete with screenshots and video)
My take: Max actually introduced me to this plugin awhile back and it has definitely increased the speed and load time of my blog greatly.
Use the settings that Max suggests for the best results.
Also after you put in a new post just click the "delete cache" plugin to clear the cache.
I've noticed that over the last couple of months my average speed time in Google Analytics has increased and it's noticeable to the naked eye as well. So it's not just something for the search engines.
Also some additional ways to boost your speed are as follows.
#1. Keep your image size down. Using images are great but keep them smaller. I usually like to use small pictures in my blogs but I like nothing larger than 400 x 300 or there about.
#2. Avoid heavy scripts. This can include extreme over use of ads that use JavaScript as well.
#3. Keep video sizes down. If you're putting videos on your pages or posts keep them as short as possible. I know it's not always possible and I personally have many 1 hour+ videos myself. However, I try to leave long videos off of my website.
Anyway, my thanks to Max for this walkthrough. It's helped me and I know it will help you speed up your blog especially as your traffic increases. By the way the plugin installs in seconds and can be configured in less than 35 seconds.

The remote wilderness lodge and base for this trip is located at the north end of Chilko Lake, British Columbia, the gateway to Ts'yl-os Park. This is the dividing point between the stunning Coast Mountain range and the Chilcotin Plateau, where the crystal clear Chilko River winds its way down to the coastal watersheds. The area offers excellent riding country and superb world class fly fishing.
Riding is a physical experience. It makes our senses come alive. It is the smell of a good horse, leather, the fresh scent of a pine or fir forest. It is the sound of cantering hooves, of crackling leaves, of horses snorting or a soft whinny. It is the seeing of new country and spectacular vistas unexplored. It is the feeling of a strong animal beneath you, of you own strength and ability, and although few words are spoken, lines of communication between horse & rider are shared and understood. It's the freedom to just ride for miles!
The Chilko Explorer Ride was designed for the intermediate to advanced rider looking for an exciting riding adventure in breathtaking country while enjoying the comforts of a wilderness lodge at night. The daily rides from the lodge offer a variety of riding experiences - ride up Mount Tulin and enjoy some of the most superb views over Chilko Lake - then explore the Chilcotin Plateau with its open grasslands, rolling hills, numerous small lakes, adjacent mountain peaks with unmatched vistas and a couple hundred miles of riding trails. You will love it!
After an exhilarating day in the outdoors you can play volleyball or horse-shoes, relax in the whirlpool on the front porch overlooking the Chilko Valley; or just relax in front of the large wood-burning fireplace exchanging stories with your fellow riders. Exceptional meals and fine wines are served family style. On one day during the week you will take part in a float trip down Chilko River or sightseeing boat ride up Chilko Lake.
In late September and early October we are offering week long Grizzly Bear viewing and Photography classes in combination with a little time for riding through the fall landscape.
There is no more pure symbol of the Canadian wilderness than the grizzly bear and to see it in its natural habitat is an awe-inspiring experience. Our guided grizzly bear viewing vacations take advantage of the peak fall season when the bears are drawn to the Chilko River to feast on the bountiful salmon that fill its waters.The Chilko Valley has one of the largest concentrations of grizzly bears during the peak season in the fall. It is not uncommon to see many large boar grizzly bears as well as many sow and cub combinations. It is exhilarating to see a mother grizzly passing her fishing knowledge down to her cubs and witnessing their first catch. Watching these wonderful bears playing and fishing in their natural environment is an experience you will never forget.
Guest Ranch Riding with fishing options Suitable for riders over 210 lbs Center-based ride
Sample Itinerary - Subject to changes.
Sunday: A 9:30 a.m. charter flight takes you from Vancouver across the magnificent glaciers of the coastal mountains to Chilko Lake, where Karen McLean will greet you at the private landing strip of the ranch. After lunch and a short introduction you get a chance to test your horse on an afternoon ride.
Monday: After breakfast we ride through fir forests to Green Lake. Along the way we stop for a picnic at the lake. In the afternoon there are some wonderful opportunities to canter on soft forest trails.
Tuesday: Today's ride is along the Chilko River and through the forests. A mix of walking, trotting and some great canters.
Wednesday: We ride up the steep trails of Mount Tulin. The ride takes us through magnificent fir forests to the timberline. From the summit it takes a 20-minute hike to reach the top of the mountain. Soak in the panorama of the Coast Mountains and 55 mile long Chilko Lake with its turquoise waters and the breathtaking beauty of Tsylos Park.
Thursday: One day during your stay the riders will head up beautiful Chilko Lake. Pristine Chilko Lake is the largest natural high mountain lake in North America. Surrounded by glaciers, rugged towering peaks, roaring creeks and rivers, waterfalls, and of course the wildlife. Due to the glacial silt, Chilko Lake has a gorgeous turquoise coloring. The views, whether looking down on her or up from her, are unbelievable. You might have a chance to visit the old mining cabin at Franklin Arm and hike up to the waterfalls, or hike to a secluded glacial lake.
Friday: We enjoy many brisk canters across the Chilcotin plateau and along the Chilko river. Advanced riders will enjoy the "rollercoaster" rides on narrow, windy forest trails. Due to the fast pace of these rides you have to be able to develop a good feeling and communicate well with your horse. It is excellent for stretching your riding abilities and building your confidence. Both the horse and rider find it fun and challenging. But not to worry, the horses are well trained and easily controllable. We stop for a nice picnic by the river with its fast flowing waters.
Saturday: A brisk ride takes you along the Chilko river to Henry's crossing. Enjoy a well deserved lunch break on the only bridge that spans the river. In September you can watch natives fishing for salmon here. In the afternoon we canter along the east side of the river to Canoe Crossing always with the whole mountain range in clear view. The horses swim across the river and freely gallop home while a boat ride takes you back to the ranch. In the evening a fabulous farewell dinner with barbecue awaits you.
Sunday: Return flight after breakfast or start of another wilderness ride.
Grizzly Weeks:
The Fall Grizzly Viewing & Photography package includes fully guided excursions by boat to view and photograph grizzly bears and other wildlife. Generally in the early morning and late afternoon (for best lighting conditions) to get a good look at these magnificent animals. The photography package is offered from Mid-September to the end of the season. So if you love to ride, but your travel companion loves to photograph the bear photography package might be an option for you. Join up at the end of the day.
Subject to changes at the tour operator's discretion.
The guides love the outdoors, riding and are experienced horse people. They can help you make the transition from English riding to the Western riding style. If you have never ridden with Western tack or saddle, do not worry. Your guide will show you the proper horse cues and show you how to tack your horse up. The guides can ensure that you are matched with the right horse for your riding ability and personality. Our equipment and tack are well maintained and fitted to the individual horses.
We normally keep around 35 horses. The herd is a mixture of different breeds, sizes and colours. You will be amazed at how well they do their job! They are chosen and bred for their disposition, endurance, and strength. Most are ranch raised and are all very comfortable on the trail and in the mountains. They will be a big part of your trip and deserve all the extra love that they can get!
All riders must be physically fit, able to mount and dismount both sides of a horse, walk, trot, canter, and saddle up. Riding is a physical experience. It makes our senses come alive. It is the smell of a good horse, of leather, the fresh scent of a pine or fir forest, it is the sound of cantering hooves, of crackling leaves, of horses snorting or a soft whinny. It is the seeing of new country and spectacular vistas unexplored. It is the feeling of a strong animal beneath you, of you own strength and ability, and although few words are spoken, lines of communication between horse & rider are shared and understood. It's the freedom to just ride for miles!
Our daily rides from the lodge offer a variety of excellent riding experiences. Explore the Chilcotin Plateau, which offers open grasslands, rolling hills, numerous small lakes, adjacent mountain peaks with unmatched vistas and a couple of hundred miles of riding trails. You will love it!
All riding groups are kept small. Guests are usually intermediate riders allowing us to enjoy great canters through the forests or across open meadows. All riders should be able to canter and be comfortable in the saddle for the Lodge Riding. Many of the guests do not ride regularly, and need a few rides or lessons before their vacation to feel comfortable in the saddle again. It will make your trip all that much better!
Tree riding is a big part of your week. We like to take some of our exciting windy trails at a fast trot or slow canter; we even named one of our rides as the "roller coaster". It is great for stretching your ability and improving your confidence. It is a lot of fun and we know that you will love it!

The months during which we operate our trips (May, June and September) are usually warm during the daytime, but can get cool in the evenings. During July and August you can expect temperatures in the low 70's to mid 90's Fahrenheit (18 to 30 °C).
Spring is a burst of new energy and the warmth of the sun. It is new vibrant colors from the first blade of green grass, to the budding of a new leaf, crisp blue skies, and snowcapped peaks. With the spring the river gains in size and large migrations of Sockeye Salmon fry and smolt take place. With a billion one-year old Sockeye heading to the Pacific Ocean and billions of minute fry hatching and making their way to Chilko Lake, the Rainbow Trout and Bull Trout congregate in the river for a feast. Steelheads are spotted spawning in the shallows and leaping out of the Chilko River to have a look around. Wild roses and Sunflowers are starting to bloom on the side hills, giving the land more and more color.
Summertime means big hatches, blue skies, warm days, alpine trips and wildflowers. Dry fly fishing on the river starts and the laughter can be heard from trail where the riders are cantering through the trees along the water. Life does not get any better than this!
Indian Summer
Indian Summer in September and October is a very special time of year at Chilko. It is an explosion of autumn colors, an abundance of wildlife, and an orchestra of sounds. With the changing seasons the Sockeye & Chinook salmon return in vast numbers, spawning on the river and lake. The water wiggles with red spawning fish, bringing down the Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, Bald Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, Herons, Ducks, Ospreys, and other wildlife to feast on the dead salmon that have already laid their eggs for the cycle to begin all over. This is a wonderful time to visit!
Soft falling snowflakes bury the earth and silence falls within our valley. The Trumpeter Swans move into Chilko and add their grace and beauty to the splendor of the frozen land. Only the running water of Chilko River reminds us of earlier times, and the seasons to come.

(see details below)
For this trip you will be staying at one lodge for the week and returning each day after riding to a wonderful evening meal, cold drinks, time spent by the fireplace and a relaxing hot tub under the stars. It is also a great trip to be combined with our Mountain Pack Trip, which takes you far out into the back country of Chilko Lake and the surrounding mountains.
Up to 16 guests are accommodated in individual rooms and log cabins (riding groups are kept to 6 to 8 riders max). All of the rooms and cabins have private bathrooms with showers. The main lodge and dining area has a large stone fireplace, comfortable couches, a hot tub on the front porch and of course a stunning view of the mountains and Chilko River. Many evenings are spent sharing the daily adventures around the fireplace with a cocktail, soaking in the hot tub looking at the stars or playing horseshoes along the river.
The accommodations are rustic, but very comfortable. There is daily maid service to ensure that your room or cabin is kept comfortable for your stay at the lodge. We have a laundry machine available and clothesline at the lodge, which can be used in the evening- otherwise the cabin attendant can do laundry for a small fee.
Please note there is no cell phone reception.
Single supplement will include a private room but may have a shared bathroom with the same gender.
Life at the lodge is focused around the great outdoors. The gathering of everyone for meals is a special time of the day. We serve all meals at the lodge "family style."
Wonderful Canadian breakfasts as well as fresh fruits, cereals, yogurts, and juices are served before you active day on the river, lake or trail.
Lunch is spent streamside, on top of a mountain, or wherever your wanderings have taken you, giving you total freedom throughout the day.
The evening meal is especially nice...after a great day, everyone can relax with a good dinner, a glass of wine and great company, sharing stories from their adventures. Wonderful meat dishes, breads, salads, pastas, vegetables, delicious desserts and table wines are served. This is all "no guilt" eating, as your active day ahead needs the energy!
Dietary Restrictions
We can cater to most dietary restrictions with prior notice.
Another highlight is a fully stocked bar located within the lodge. It is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail while you sample tasty appetizers made by the in house chef. The bar is fully stocked with an assortment of spirits, beer and wines.
Note: during Grizzly Bear Photography weeks, breakfast is earlier (7:30am) and dinner is later (7pm).

GRANTHAM, Pa. – The York College women's soccer team suffered a tough 9-0 loss to #1 Messiah Wednesday evening in Grantham. With the defeat, the Spartans drop to 1-6 on the season while the Falcons improve to 5-0-1.
Despite the final score, the Green and White started off the contest exceptionally well. The first 20 minutes saw the Spartans push the pace, even giving the talented Messiah squad an early scare. With the score at 0-0, Jordan Snook slipped a ball from the endline across to the goal, however Falcon goalkeeper Autumn Reilly cleaned up the early Spartan opportunity.
Messiah broke through for the game's first score in the 23rd minute when Alex Brandt found Corrine Wulf for the opening salvo. The second tally came in the 29th minute as Lisa Wingard crossed the ball from the right side to Rachel Scheibeler at the top of the box. Scheibeler settled the pass before sending home the Falcons' second.
The first half came to a close with a Lauren Federline goal in the 42nd minute. Wingard again provided the assist as Federline headed-in the home team's third tally.
In the second stanza, Messiah opened the scoring within the first minute, courtesy of an Erin Hench tally, and would go on to score five more in the frame.
Putting the result behind them, the Spartans now turn their attention to Saturday's Capital Athletic Conference match against St. Mary's (Md.). York welcomes the Seahawks to Graham Field for the 12:30 pm contest.

NHL Game Night: 12-4-09 Lightning at Devils
I'd almost rather lose a game 4-2 then cough up a winning goal in the last minute. Almost.
Antero Niittymaki allowed 3 goals on 19 shots for the loss. It's been an alarming trend over the last week and a half where the Lightning haven't been getting quite the same level of goaltending they were getting, and the results have very quickly turned sour because of it. That's not to say Niitty was terrible, but 3 goals on 19 shots isn't a pretty number.
First Period
Second Period
TB 1:26, Lecavalier 6 (Halpern)
Third Period
NJ 1:15, Rolston 9 (Niedermayer)(PP)
NJ 5:14, Bergfors 8 (Zharkov)(PP)
TB 17:00, Downie 4 (Stamkos, Malone)(PP)
NJ 19:21, Langenbrunner 6 (Greene, Rolston)
Zenon Konopka had 5 penalty minutes and 1 shot in 7:18.
Paul Szczechura played just 4:12 in the game.
James Wright got in his first NHL fight and had 2 hits and 1 blocked shot in 9:23.
Blair Jones had 3 hits and 1 blocked shot in 13:27. Let me be one of the first to say how proud I am of Blair to work his way into this opportunity. He has always had a lot of promise since his days in junior, but he's fluctuated between the penthouse in his rookie season and the doghouse for the past couple of seasons because he's a bit of a laid back Western farm boy, as Steve Stirling once put it to me, so the physical and defensive intensity hasn't always been there night in and night out. He's really started to understand more about being prepared to go every night and he's earned this chance. Let that be a lesson to all the youngsters in Norfolk: even in your fourth season of pro you've got a chance if you work hard, prepare like a professional, and put it together at the rink.
Victor Hedman was +1 with 1 hit in 19:32.
