Anyone who's watched The Beach has dreamed of the day they could flee to some idyllic Thai archipelago, where jungle-covered karsts plunge into aquamarine waters and the sand is sugar white.
But no matter how clichéd the fantasy, Thailand delivers in spades. The water around Krabi and Ko Tao really is that colour. Phi Phi's limestone karsts really do look like some alien world. And the food? Let's just say your local Pad Thai has nothing on Chiang Mai's street stalls or the floating markets of Amphawa, where little old ladies do things with fish sauce and chili you never thought possible. From the waterfalls of Erewan to a homestay with the hill tribes of the Golden Triangle, these are Thailand tours beyond the tourist traps. Buckle up.

Sail Ko Phi Phi to Phuket, February 2017
Anna Umanskaya
I had an amazing time, this sailing trip is pure pleasure. Excellent food and plenty of activities are available on board. I just wish the water and the islands were a bit cleaner and that there would be more colorful life in the Andaman (it's not the best place for snorkeling). Thank you for a great vacation!

Sail Ko Phi Phi to Phuket, February 2017
Alessia Micarelli
Everything about this trip was amazing. The skipper Caio & his crew worked very hard everyday to make sure everything went well & that everyone on the group was happy. The space in the cabins is limited however plenty of spaces in the common areas. The meals were just excellent, there was a choice of 3 different dishes for each meal & i loved the fact that they were all typical Thai dishes so that i could experience the real Thai cusine. The places we visited each day were stunning & really enjoyed the opportunity of snorkelling, swimming, kayking, paddle boarding & sleeping on the beanbags under the stars. I was glad the wind was not always favourable for sailing & that we did sail by using the motor most of the times as it was unconfortable for my stomach but motionsickness tablets did help so don't let anything stop you from booking this trip..it really worth it. Thank you intrepid travel.

Transport in Thailand
Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun.
Depending on which trip you're on while in Thailand, you may find yourself travelling by:
Share a ride with others in a Songthaew - a converted pick-up truck seen frequently throughout South-East Asia. Perfect for longer journeys between towns and villages.
Thailand Beaches East Coast (May - Oct)
See Thailand from the ground level on this three-wheeled wonder. Sometimes motorised but usually pedal-powered by a local, it's a fun way to get from A to B or to see the sights of a new city.
Accommodation in Thailand
Travelling with Intrepid is a little bit different. We endeavour to provide travellers with an authentic experience to remember, so we try to keep accommodation as unique and traditional as possible.
When travelling with us in Thailand you may find yourself staying in a:
Experience friendly Thai hospitality while staying with a local family living a traditional way of life. Make new friends, pick up some local lingo and leave smiling.
The ultimate room with a view - spend the night on a floating bamboo rafthouse. Enjoy the seclusion, soak up the serenity and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

If entering by air you will be granted a 30 day stay on arrival.
If entering by a land border, you will be granted a 15 day stay only (exceptions are citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Japan who are eligible for 30 day visa at land borders). A visa extension can be obtained in Thailand at an immigration office for approx. 2000THB or alternatively you can apply for a Thailand visa in advance from your embassy or consulate that will allow a 30 day stay when entering at an overland border.
If planning to enter Thailand via a land border multiple times during your travels, we recommend you pre-obtain a 60 day multiple entry visa from you embassy or consulate before you travel rather than attempting to obtain a visa at the border on multiple occasions which may result in being denied re-entry into the country.
Tipping isn't mandatory or customary in Thailand, but a tip of spare change or another small amount would be appreciated by restaurants, drivers and other service workers, especially if the service has been particularly good.
Internet access is widely available in tourist areas like Bangkok and Phuket, which have many internet cafes and Wi-Fi hot-spots. Internet access is less frequent in rural and remote areas.
You'll be able to use your mobile phone in most urban areas of Thailand, although some of the islands or more remote areas may not have network coverage. Ensure you have global roaming activated with your mobile carrier before you leave home if you wish to use your mobile while in Thailand.
You'll have to adjust to different standards of hygiene and sanitation while in Thailand. The standard toilet is of the squat variety and this may take some getting used to, although western-style toilets can be found in large hotels and some tourist areas.
Thailand is one of the world's favourite budget travel destinations. Here's what you can roughly expect to pay for a:
Bottle of beer = 80-100 TBH
Street food snack = 25 TBH
Short tuk tuk ride = 50 TBH
Metered taxi to city from Bangkok Airport = 300-400 TBH
Drinking tap water isn't recommended in Thailand. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water. Ask your leader where filtered water can be found; some hotels we stay in may have drinking water available. It's also advisable to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit and vegetables before eating.
Major credit cards are widely accepted by large shops, hotels and restaurants in Thailand. However, they may not be accepted by smaller vendors such as small family restaurants, market stalls or in remote towns and rural areas. Make sure you carry enough cash for purchases, since credit cards aren't always an option everywhere in Thailand.
ATMs are found widely throughout Thailand, so withdrawing cash shouldn't be problematic in most areas. Some smaller villages and rural areas may not have ATM access, so prepare for this before venturing too far from a city or major town.
Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Responsible Travel
Intrepid is committed to travelling in a way that is respectful of local people, their culture, local economies and the environment. It's important to remember that what may be acceptable behaviour, dress and language in your own country, may not be appropriate in another. Please keep this in mind while travelling.
Top responsible travel tips for Thailand
- Be considerate of Thailand's customs, traditions, religion and culture.
- Dress modestly and respectfully. Shoulders to knees should be covered, especially when entering places of worship.
- Ask permission, remove your shoes and cover your shoulders with a jacket or wrap before entering a place of worship.
- Always dispose of litter thoughtfully, including cigarette butts.
- Choose to not support businesses that promote cruelty towards or exploitation of endangered species.
- Please ask and receive permission before taking photos of people, including children.
- When bargaining at markets, stay calm, be reasonable and keep a smile on your face. It's meant to be fun!
- When on community visits or homestays, refrain from giving gifts or money to locals.
- For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.
- Be respectful of Buddhist monks, this includes refraining from taking photos of them. Women should also avoid touching or handing items directly to monks.
- Thai people have a flexible approach to time and may not always be punctual. Accept this graciously and enjoy the ride.
- Thai people adore their King and highly respect the Royal Family. Knowing this, try to avoid disrespecting or criticising the monarch.

A great broadband Internet connection can make a big difference in your home entertainment options, and if you buy your TV and your Internet through the same provider, you can often save a lot of money.
Most Americans use cable or satellite for these services. Here's what you need to know to choose between the two.
The advantages of cable
Cable TV works through a shared network of cables run by a single service provider. Because cables can carry a large amount of data, they offer excellent Internet connectivity. Most service providers offer cable Internet download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps).
There are 8 megabits in a megabyte, so this means that an Internet user could download almost 12.5 megabytes of data each second. However, actual connection speeds are limited by a number of factors, so a super-fast 100 Mbps might not ever provide its full speed, especially if your home network has several computers.
According to the National Cable and Television Association (NCTA), nearly 126 million Americans have access to high-speed cable Internet. About 130 million Americans have access to cable TV. Obviously, this means that many Americans don't have any sort of cable access. If there aren't any cable lines near you, you won't have cable as an option. Some cable services also charge significantly more than satellite providers, but this varies from area to area.
Usually you'll only have a choice of one cable Internet company, since multiple cable lines running through the same neighborhood would make Internet access cumbersome and complicated.
The advantages of satellite
One of the major advantages of satellite is that the technology works especially well in rural areas. Satellite TV and Internet services don't require cable lines, although you will need a satellite in your yard or on your house. Modern satellites work fairly well in poor weather, but you might still see occasional outages during thunderstorms. Your satellite will need a clear shot of the sky in order to pull in a signal.
If you need exceptionally fast Internet services, you'll probably need to combine your satellite connection with a DSL line. DSL is a special high-speed line that can provide decent download speeds of around 5 Mbps , which should be sufficient for Web browsing, email, and video streaming. While satellite companies sometimes offer non-DSL Internet, their connection speeds typically max out around 1 Mbps . This is sufficient for light Web browsing, but 1 Mbps isn't enough for serious Internet users. Some new forms of DSL offer faster download speeds, but in general they don't compare to cable connections in this respect.
Other factors to consider
Satellite and cable providers have different menus of available channels, so if you have an affinity for a specific channel, be sure to check availability before you sign a deal.
Price is another important factor. You should compare bundled Internet and TV packages from all of the providers in your area. Ask about long-term plans and have a number in mind when comparing Internet speeds. Think about how you use the Internet and your TV when you choose a package to avoid overpaying for your services.
Your home's location and your usage habits will play a major role in your decision, but by comparing as many options as possible, you can keep your costs down while locking in great entertainment and Internet connectivity for your home.

Kaberle to Canucks Makes No Sense
Cam Davie
July 17 2009 07:47PM
Let me explain.
Kaberle is exactly what the Canucks NEED on their blueline. However, a quick analysis of the Canucks current assets and the Leafs current needs shows that this proposed trade doesn't line up.
So let's look at this situation.
The Leafs need top 6 forwards, and currently have a huge pool of defencemen and promising young goaltenders.
The Canucks are still potentially in the market for a top 6 forward as well as a puck-moving defenceman. They have, as their trade bait, a few too many bottom 6 forwards and one VERY promising young goaltender.
How does this line up for a trade with the Leafs? It doesn't. Not at all.
The Canucks could possibly afford to trade back Mason Raymond, Sami Salo, Kevin Bieksa, and Cory Schneider. But Toronto really doesn't need any of them. Raymond doesn't fill any hole that currently exists in the Leafs offense. It's clear that Burke is trying to toughen up the Leafs roster, and Bieksa would be a good fit for Burke's type of line-up. However, the Leafs have too many defencemen as it is, so I don't see them taking a defenceman back in a trade. As for goaltending, the Leafs have Toskala and two very promising goalies in Pogge and Swedish phenom Jonas Gustavsson. So adding Schneider to that mix doesn't make any sense.
If this trade rumour is legitimate, which I very much doubt, I will be very interested to see how this trade is finalized and what players/prospects/draft picks are involved.
If you were going to pick a GM to control and win a trade between Brian Burke and Mike Gillis, who would you pick? Yeah - I would pick Burke hands down, too.
Good luck, Mike.
July 17 2009, 07:49PM
Exactly right Leafs need Forwards who can score and Canucks have none that they can spare. But don't sell Gillis short against Burke, Gillis in my opinion in his short time as a GM makes no rash decisions and I would find it hard to believe any GM could get anything past him without him thinking on something for days. He's shown he knows what he's doing.
@ Jim G.: Gillis has shown he's picked good scouts and has picked up some decent free agents. But he hasn't made a note-worthy trade yet.
THAT is where you'll see Gillis's true colours as a GM.
Personally I wouldn't pick Brian Burke for much except perhaps I would pick him first in a hot dog eating competition.
What exactly makes you say that Justin Pogge is "very promising"? The dude looks like an AHL lifer to me the way he played last year and with that under .900 save percentage in 3 years of AHL work.
I do agree that the Leafs have little use for Schneider... this year is to find out if either Toskala or Gustavsson can be a strong #1.
By next June is when they might need to look for a goaltender... right now, they have much bigger needs elsewhere

Great taste, but i received an old product

The chocolate tasted good, but the color was not really brown, it was chalky, like if the chocolate was stored for too long.
Nice deep dark chocolate

Smooth and tasty but the lemon flavour was hard to pick out.

About Altan
With their Northern Ireland-style twin fiddling and accordion melodies accented by acoustic guitar and bouzouki, Altan has grown into one of the top traditional bands in Ireland. The inspiration for Altan was sparked when Donegal-born fiddler and vocalist Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh met Belfast-born flute player Frankie Kennedy. Ní Mhaonaigh had learned the traditional style of fiddling from her father, Francie, who had learned it from his mother, Roise. Influential Irish fiddler Dinny McLaughlin, who frequented her childhood home, added to her knowledge of the instrument. Kennedy, who studied flute as a youngster, was extremely interested in Irish music and made several trips to Ireland during school vacations. Meeting during an informal jam session, Ní Mhaonaigh and Kennedy began to play together at every opportunity. Although they both took jobs as trainee teachers at St. Patrick's College in Dublin, music remained their shared passion.
In 1979, the two musicians made their recording debut as accompanists for Gaelic singer Albert Fry on his self-titled debut album. Two years later, Ní Mhaonaigh and Kennedy graduated from college and were married. Together with bouzouki player Donal O'Hanlan and Mairéad's brother Gearóid Ó Maoinaigh, who played guitar, Ní Mhaonaigh and Kennedy formed a band, Ragaime. Although they recorded for RTE, the group disbanded by the time that Gael-Linn released Ní Mhaonaigh and Kennedy's debut album, Ceol Aduaidh, in December 1983. One track on the album, "An Clar Bog Dell," featured Enya, then known as Eithne Ní Bhraonáin, on Prophet-5 synthesizer.
In 1987, Ní Mhaonaigh and Kennedy recorded their second album as a duo, Altan, named after a lake in northwest Donegal. Produced by Dónal Lunny, the album featured accompaniment by Ciarán Curran on bouzouki, Mark Kelly on guitar, and Mairéad's sister Anna Ní Mhaonaigh, then a member of the all-woman group Macella. Shortly after the completion of the album, the musicians agreed to continuing working together. During the summer of 1988, Altan began work on their first album as a band, which now included Paul O'Shaughnessy on twin fiddle. Produced by Phil Cunningham and released in 1989, the album, Horse with a Heart, featured a more dynamic sound than its predecessors.
As the band's touring schedule expanded, O'Shaughnessy and Kelly were forced by their day jobs to restrict their activity with Altan to recording and performances close to home. During the band's U.S. tours, their places were taken by Daíthí Sproule on guitar and Ciarán Tourish on fiddle. Altan reached top form with their 1990 album Red Crow, which received a NAIRD award as Best Celtic Traditional Album. Their next album, Harvest Storm, released in 1992, received the award as well.
All news was not good for the band, however. In 1991, Kennedy was diagnosed with cancer. Although he was hospitalized the following year, he recovered sufficiently to rejoin the band's tour. On September 19, 1994, he succumbed to his illness and passed away. Altan has continued to bring their music to the international stage. Accordion player Dermot Byrne, who had played on Red Crow and on Altan's 1993 album, Island Angel, joined the group formally in 1994. 1996's Blackwater and 1997's Runaway Sunday were released on the Virgin label before the group jumped to Narada for 2000's Another Sky. Numerous compilations and collections followed, as well as Blue Idol in 2002 and Local Ground in 2005, again for Narada. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi

The Bauer Vapor X5.0 ice hockey skates offer great overall performance. The Bauer Vapor 5.0 skate is where you really see the jump to advanced performance in the Bauer Vapor skate line. The X5.0 skate features the same overall design as the rest of the Vapor skate line with the X-rib quarter panel.
The Vapor X5.0 skate is also the most advance skate in the Bauer Vapor line that features a traditional felt tongue. The fiber composite outsole helps offer a light and responsive feel, as well as being slightly more forgiving than skates higher in the Vapor line.

Comments: These skates are great, especially for the price. Offer a lot of high end features at a reasonable price. There are very comfortable and perform very well. The composite sole plate really helps transfer all your power into the ice and give you that extra speed. I would recommend to anyone looking for new skates.
From: Will, USA
Comments: Great skate at a great price. Two members of my family have these and they love them. My brother replaced his X60's with the X5.0 and he says they are both second to none and the X5.0 easily compares despite the lower price tag.
From: Daniel, FL
Comments: Purchased this skate to use for playing an intermediate-level men's league. The boot has great stiffness and is definitely suitable for higher levels of competition. The skate fits slightly narrow like the rest of the Vapor line, but I feel it's slightly wider than past Bauer models. The lightspeed steel and tuuk holders are top quality as usual, BUT I have concerns about the fiber composite outsole of the boot. I bought $300 skates so that they'd last, but after about half a year (65-80 hours of actual skating), I noticed the edges of the outsole had cracked and the composite fiber strands were exposed and fraying. Overall, I would recommend these skates for performance, but I would watch them closely for wear (like any $300+ skate) and be aware of the warranty period.
From: Ben, Chicago, IL
Comments: They are amazing. I had them baked to quicken the time it takes for my feet to mold into them, but they are the best skates I have ever owned. I used to have x60s but they became to small and these skates are even better. They are not as light as x60s, but I found them far more comfortable. They really allow you to feel the ice and they are light enough to allow quick footspeed and agility. Really a great product, especially for the price.
From: Joel, FL
Comments: I have been skating on these twice a week for 4 months now. No complaints. I'm 195 lb's and they are still stiff. I would recommend these to a friend.
From: Lance
Comments:This skates are great for anyone. From mites all the way up to varsity...this skates will not let you down. I bought these skates after being sick of my Reebok 12K's, which were way too wide. I bought these on the day of Bantam hockey tryouts, and I scored a goal during the scrimmage! These are CRAZY LIGHT. They weigh less than a lot of top-of-the-line skates like Reebok 20K, CCM Crazy Light, and Easton RS skates. That being said, they are still very stiff. I haven't had any problems with them at all. You can get them baked, but I didn't and I was just fine. BUY THESE SKATES!
From: Logan
Comments: I've been playing for about a year and my first pair of skates were the Bauer Vapor X2.0...they served their purpose but just didn't hold up. I was on the fence on whether I should upgrade to 4.0 or 5.0. I'm happy I went with the 5.0. I baked them yesterday and skated for 90 minutes at pick up hockey today. A little tight but no doubt they'll break in just fine. I was able to handle the stiffer boot without a problem and I'm shocked at how comfortable they were. I decided to spend the extra $120 on the 5.0 primarily for durability. The 4.0 have a lower quality piece of material that connects the boot to the toe cap...this broke down pretty quickly on my 2.0.

I have been getting a lot of questions about sowing grass seed, so I thought I should let everyone know what the ideal lawn sowing times are and what should be done.

JUMPERTOWN – Jumpertown crowned a homecoming queen on Friday night, but the Cardinals had no answer for Blue Mountain's scoring kings.
Ismael Ruedas scored 33 points and Jacob Girley added 32 to lead the streaking Cougars to a convincing 93-65 Division 1-1A victory.
Blue Mountain (11-1, 2-0) charged out to a 25-15 lead in the first quarter behind the play of its talented guards, who can score inside and on the perimeter. They produced 23 of the Cougars' first-quarter points.
"They make my job a lot easier," said Blue Mountain coach David Mason, who has coached both players for five years. "They know what we need to do. I give them the basketball and let them go. I trust them.
"They're going to make the right decision 99 percent of the time."
Girley connected on five 3-pointers, three in the first half. Ruedas sank three treys in the first half. He had an assist on Girley's second 3-pointer, one that gave the Cougars a 22-12 lead in the first quarter.
However, Mason quickly points out there is more to Blue Mountain than Ruedas, a junior, and Girley, a senior.
"We like to say we're 'B-O-B,' a band of brothers," he said. "Tonight we worked together and played with effort, energy and efficiency.
"They don't care if one man scores 40 as long as they win."
Jumpertown (5-7, 2-1) suffered its first division loss. The Cardinals were led in scoring by guard Bryson Gilley with 21 points.
(G) Jumpertown 52, Blue Mountain 43: The Lady Cardinals outscored the Cougars 14-2 in the third quarter after leading 25-23 at halftime.
Emily Nanney's layup gave Jumpertown a 38-23 lead late in the third quarter. She finished with a team-high 15 points.
Josie Reese added 13 and Kristen Cartwright 12 for the Lady Cardinals (4-7). Aaliyah Knox scored 19 for Blue Mountain (1-11).

cute but not comfy
"I love Born, so I jumped on these when they were on clearance. I knew I'd love them so I immediately threw the box away! The soul of the shoe is VERY textured, which killed the bottoms of my feet after a few hours. I'm not sure if a shoe doctor could cover the soul with another material to help it be more comfortable. I've only worn them once and they hurt so badly, I can't wear them again. Hoping I can take them back without the box!!"

Freshman Jamie Loeb of North Carolina won her second straight college tennis major, while senior Clay Thompson of UCLA won his 15th straight match to capture the women's and men's singles titles at the 2013 USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and hosted by Columbia University.
Loeb faced Robin Anderson of UCLA in a repeat of their Riviera/ITA Women's All-American Championships matchup, which Loeb won, 6-4, 6-0.
On Sunday, Loeb struck first early, breaking the Bruin two straight times to take a 4-1 lead. Anderson fought back and recovered one break but served to stay in the first set at 3-5. An ace took her to game point, but she followed that up with a double fault and then netted a forehand to give Loeb a set point. Loeb would win the set after winning a long rally, 6-3.
In the second set, Anderson kept fighting to defend her title, and she broke Loeb for the early lead, only to be broken twice in a row to trail 4-1, as Loeb proved too powerful and steady from every part of the court. Both women held serve for 5-2, putting all the pressure on Anderson's shoulders to hold, but the Tar Heel broke again to capture the title, 6-3, 6-2.
In facing Anderson again for the second-straight major, Loeb said she thought her opponent played a lot better today. "When we played at All-Americans, I think she was a little more nervous, especially at the beginning of the match," she said. "She wasn't serving as well. I think today she served a lot better. Overall, I think both matches were really great."
Loeb did not drop a set throughout the tournament, and she now boasts a 19-1 start to her collegiate career. When talking about her successful fall, Loeb said she's been improving in practice and working very hard.
"During matches, I'm more confident now, and I believe more in my shots and in myself," she said. "I'm using my legs more on my serve, making my first serve a weapon, but also being consistent. I'm just mixing it up with my placement and using more variety with my shots, in general."
Thompson, like Loeb, has also been on fire this fall season, and he extended his winning streak to 15 matches after defeating Jared Hiltzik of Illinois, 6-4, 7-5. The Bruin did not drop a set in winning his first college major.
The 6-foot-6 Thompson got the key break at 4-all in the first set and served out the set for a 6-4 lead. His booming forehand, serve and net play have been in fine form all tournament, and his aggressive play continued to shine in the final. He broke Hiltzik to take a 2-0 lead, and he hung on to the break until it was time to serve for the match at 5-4.
Thompson admitted he got tight while serving for the match, and two double faults helped Hiltzik get the break to level the set at 5-all. Thompson did not relent, and he broke straight back, holding his serve a final time to clinch the victory.
He said after the match that he'd also felt tight at the beginning of the match. "I've never won a major tournament at any level. I got to the finals at Easter Bowl, and that was the closest I've ever gotten," he said. "But I was having a blast out there. It's such a cool tournament. To be in New York at Flushing Meadows, where all the greats have played, it was an amazing experience."
Thompson ended the 2012-13 season ranked No. 107 in the ITA Men's singles rankings and started this season No. 74 in the ITA pre-season rankings.
Asked how he turned his collegiate career around this fall, he said, "Maturity is a funny thing; it just kind of clicks. People have their weeks here or there. For me, the right time is now. We'll see if I can be lucky enough to keep the momentum going, but honestly I'm thankful for this experience and the maturity losing at Tulsa has brought me for these 15 matches."
In women's doubles, Georgia Tech's Kendal Woodard and Megan Kurey won their program's first national title with a hard-fought, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over Julia Fellerhoff and Rebecca Shine of Louisville.
The Yellow Jacket duo said they were thrilled to bring the national title back to Atlanta.
"It feels great," Kurey said. "We're so lucky to be part of such a great program, and we're so excited."
In men's doubles, Ashok Narayana and Max Schnur of Columbia thrilled their local fans by defeating top seeds and the ITA pre-season No. 1 team of Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese of Tennessee. The Lions had a boisterous section of teammates, family, friends and alumni cheering them on, and they captured their program's first national title with a 6-3, 6-2 win.
After the win, the Columbia pair said all the home team support definitely helped them.
"I think we have some of the best fans in nation. I was a little surprised that it got this loud for this specific match," Narayana said after the match. "But I think that was a mistake on my part. I should have expected this."
Schnur added, "Once we won the first set, the chants started coming, 'Let's go Lions,' and I think we fed off that really well, and it was a really great atmosphere for us. We knew we had to play well and play smart. They're great players, and I think we did a good job mixing it up and good strategies in making them uncomfortable, and then obviously we fed off our crowd."
In consolation play, Beatrice Capra of Duke beat Abigail Tere-Apisah of Georgia State, 7-5, 6-4, to capture the women's singles consolation final, while Marcos Giron of UCLA defeated Baylor's Patrick Pradella, 6-4, 6-2, in the men's final. In doubles, Brynn Boren and Zoe Katz of USC defeated Pleun Burgmans and Emily Flickinger of Auburn, 8-7 (4), and Peter Kobelt and Kevin Metka of Ohio State batted back from 6-7 down to win, 8-7 (5), over Giron and Mackenzie McDonald of UCLA in the men's doubles consolation final.

The Ferron/Price Ranger District will be implementing prescribed burns in two separate areas of the district. The burns could start as early as May 14 and will continue until completed. Joe's Valley prescribed burn, located just West of Joe's Valley Reservoir, should be the earlier of the two and last one-two days. The Pines prescribed burn area is located approximately five miles northwest of the town of Emery. Currently, The Pines is tentatively scheduled for a later date.
Prescribed fire is one of the proven tools used to accomplish a variety of resource benefits including improved wildlife habitat, vegetation regeneration, hazardous fuels reduction and to support ecosystem diversity. To meet resource and safety concerns, prescribed fires must only occur when a specific set of conditions are met These conditions include favorable air, soil and vegetation moisture levels, temperatures, wind directions and speeds, smoke dispersal and expected fire behavior. The prescribed fire will only be ignited when fuel moistures and weather conditions are favorable. Qualified fire personnel will use hand crews to ignite fire in the designated area and will monitor the fire until it is completed. If you need further information visit www.utahfireinfo.gov or contact the Ferron Ranger District at 435/384-2372.

Andrew Cogliano's final 21 games of the 09-10 season look much better than the rest of his year. In March and April, he went 21gp, 5-10-15 +3 and saw his shooting percentage improve to 13.5 (his career shooting percentage entering this past season was almost 17%). Previous to that, he looked pretty much lost (61gp, 5-8-13). Did he turn a corner?
Having been a fan of bad clubs over the years (1970's Expos before they developed all the kids, Oilers after their Stanleys) it is pretty clear to me that bad teams flush good young players because they believe these kids aren't developing. Sometimes it is true, other times the young player finds a role on a properly managed team and flourishes in his new town.
Andrew Cogliano is a college man, trained at the University of Michigan. He signed after two college seasons (age 20) and the Oilers called him "Marchant with hands." That fall, in the pre-season he got a chance to play with against NHL competition and drew solid verbal from coach MacTavish: "I thought for his first NHL game he had a good accounting for himself. He was instrumental in the winning goal." 21 games into his rookie NHL season, and Cogliano was third in rookie scoring among the league's 30 teams. 21gp, 4-9-13 and a shooting percentage of 15.4 for the first 6 weeks of his big league career.
There were some negatives. He was poor in the faceoff circle, he wasn't adjusting as quickly as hoped, and he could never establish himself as a top 6 forward despite mediocre competition for the skill minutes. In his first two NHL seasons he managed to score 36 goals. In the last decade, two-season totals from NHL newcomers include Mike Comrie (41), Jarret Stoll (32), Sam Gagner (29), Ales Hemsky (18), Jason Chimera (18), Shawn Horcoff (17). Cogliano was scoring goals and posting points, but he was also using up a lot of at-bats in order to deliver the numbers. He was not an efficient offensive player.
Last summer the Oilers traded Cogliano to Ottawa, but it didn't take. Cogliano arrived in training camp with a new head coach, a fresh start and an excellent attitude (his quotes during the period July-Sept 2009 are a top drawer example of the right thing to say). His 2009-10 season was, to say the least, trying. He played much of the season with subpar (and worse) linemates and spent enormous amounts of time accomplishing very little (example: he went 8gp, 0-0-0 -3 in one period during February, and that was during a time when the team went 5-3) offensively.
His stats line looked like this:
- Boxcars: 82gp, 10-18-28
- Shots: 139
- Plus Minus: -5
- Corsi (Rel): 1.5 (6th among F's)
- 5x5/60: 1.39 (7th among F's)
- 5x4/60: 2.55 (10th among F's)
- Quality of Competition: 7th toughest among F's
- Quality of Teammates: 4th best among F's
- FO %: 43% in 379 FO's
- Offensive Zone Start FO %: 49.1 (3rd easiest among F's)
- Cap Hit: $1,133,333 (RFA)
What do these numbers tell us? Well, in fairly calm waters he didn't deliver enough offense to earn top 6 minutes. The Oilers cut loose 4 forwards with better 5x5/60 minutes numbers and they played him a ton at center despite evidence he was not among the top 4 players at that position.
Most frustrating of all was a quote in an Edmonton Journal article by Jim Matheson in which the young center balks at being compared to Todd Marchant. Cogliano: "I almost scored 20 goals my first two years where I didn't have a major role. I've always put up numbers. And if I hadn't put up any in my first year, then maybe I'd be really worried. Maybe I'd switch my game ... for me, it's a matter of sticking with the mindset I can be a top-six player."
Andrew Cogliano didn't establish himself as a top 6 forward when the competition included names like Robert Nilsson, Ryan Potulny and Patrick O'Sullivan. Do we believe he'll have more success now that his competition includes Taylor Hall, Magnus Pääjärvi and Jordan Eberle?
I remain a fan of Andrew Cogliano. His wonderful speed should be effective on offense and on defense (forecheck and penalty kill). However, he was making the same mistakes (cross ice pass 6 feet in front of his own net that resulted in a turnover in a game versus the Canucks March 23) late this season as he was making as a rookie, and the "Marchant with hands" nickname has failed at both ends.
Sometimes a player reaches restricted free agency with three years experience. Other times, a player arrives at that place with one year's experience three times. I never thought I'd be saying that about Andrew Cogliano. In the same Matheson article quoted above, Cogliano also said he might adjust his style to focus on a more complete game: "maybe when I'm older, if my career doesn't take the path I want it to take."

I think sometimes we forget cogs numbers were about the same as Gagnes [bad spelling] his first year with out nearly the same quality ice time.I think we saw a little bit of what he can bring at the end of last year if given some minutes with better players.Yes he has weaknesses but so does a for others that seem to get over looked because of their name or supposed upside.I think he is stronger on the puck than some of our other small forwards and drives the net a little harder.He has produced at every level when given the opportunity.Lets dont give up on him to soon.
I'm not sure, I like Cogs, but I wonder where and how he fits going forward. We have to many smallish forwards....Depends on the return, and maybe he figures it out this year. I realy do not like the quotes though, and, how many people would love to be todd marchant, playing a meaningful role in the NHL for years.
Thank god for Traktor. I thought for a second there we'd get through a whole page of comments without someone slamming Horcov.

It's refreshing to see an article about Cogs turn into Horcoff bashing.

Cogliano had a bad year on a horrible team. The guy is still too young to write off. I hope Renney gives him a fair chance to turn it around next year.
Cogliano would have had a better year if he wasn't saddled with Captain Penalty. He was doomed from the start of the season.
I'd look to deal Cogliano for a different asset. BUT, if he's still here for camp, I'd throw him on a line with Hemsky & Hall right off the bat to give him the best possible conditions. Confidence is a strange thing, and finding himself firmly amongst the top 6 right from the get-go could have him flying high.
And if it doesn't work, then at least you can feel comfortable knowing that he wasn't THAT guy & deal him. Whatever they do, do NOT throw him out there with a couple of plugs right off the bat... he'll be ruined. I'm a big believer in confidence. Lived it first-hand.
"Sometimes a player reaches restricted free agency with three years experience. Other times, a player arrives at that place with one year's experience three times."
It's times like these I wonder why anyone thinks blogs are somehow below MSM in quality. This is better writing then you see most days in even the best newspapers. Well done, LT, this line sums up Cogliano better than anything else I've read.
I always seemed to me that he just got one raw deal after another. He outscored Gagner the first 2 seasons, despite getting short changed on the ice time, comparatively speaking. And his third season he was relegated to the 3rd & 4th lines and expected to "produce". I think it a fine idea to let him play with the "new guys" and see what he can do.

Nicole Rode, textile conservator, British Museum
This is the latest in a series of posts about the unfolding of the Norwich shroud, a joint project between the British Museum and Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery
Now we've worked with curators and scientists to (safely) get as much information as we can, it's time to ensure the next stage of the shroud's life, as a studied and enjoyed museum artefact, doesn't cause it to deteriorate.
So what are our options? After opening up the shroud, one option would be to leave it exactly like this and simply put it into good storage. As long as it was on a carrying board, stored flat in dark place, like a drawer unit, it would be fairly stable and allow for occasional study by individual scholars.
Leaving the textile in this state, however, completely prevents the many other roles the shroud might be asked to perform: it would really be too vulnerable for extensive study, and certainly wouldn't be able to go on display, or be shipped to national and international venues for loan. In light of this we decided we needed to go further in stabilising it.
There is no one way to treat an archaeological textile – they are all made differently, come to the studio in different conditions, and have different end roles. Thus a treatment that suits one shroud will not necessarily suit another. With the NMAS conservators, we began by first looking at what techniques had been successfully used in the past – senior conservators at the British Museum including Monique Pullan, Pippa Cruickshank and Anna Harrison have treated numerous Egyptian textiles such as the shroud of Resti , and the shroud for a unknown person that was recently displayed in the exhibition Journey through the afterlife: ancient Egyptian book of the dead.
Some fragile textiles can be supported underneath with woven fabrics secured with stitching, such as an Egyptian tunic on display in Room 66. Where the needle might cause damage, for example by making holes through a painted area of a shroud, we might choose to adhere it to a support fabric or fine paper with conservation-grade adhesives, such as the shroud of Amenhotep. But we don't rush to use adhesives as they are harder to remove in the long-term.
In other cases we use a combination of techniques – for example the shroud with a bead net, on display in Room 63, uses both small adhesive patches and stitched support (the detailed conservation records of all these shrouds can be read on the Museum's collection online).
The important principle that we abide by in any conservation treatment is that of 'minimal intervention' – we try to apply the least amount necessary to make an object safe. We also ensure that what we do does not unwittingly destroy information about the object that has yet to be revealed – or alter its appearance in any way that can't be reversed.
Because the shroud was so fragmentary and vulnerable, we suggested that it was mounted on a rigid support board. This would prevent any damage caused by flexing the aged fibres, and at the same time would provide a good means of handling and displaying it. Luckily the shroud proved to be of a size that can be kept fully opened.
Because of the relative softness of the fibres, the numerous holes in the shroud, the looseness of the weave structure, and the fact that there were no brittle areas, we decided a stitched support would be the most suitable conservation option. Specifically, we would sandwich the shroud between two support fabrics – a solid cotton backing and a fine semi-transparent net. By stitching them together, they would hold all the damaged sections in place most securely, which was especially important if it were ever to go on vertical display or travel on loan.
One of the strongest advantages of this sandwich technique is that much less stitching is done through the actual historic textile. Another advantage is that it's removable – the possibility of reversal is one of the central tenets of conservation. Also, if the net is dyed to the right colour, it will be virtually invisible – there are many textiles in the Museum's Egyptian galleries that have net overlays that are very discreet – specifically on the shroud of a youth and the shroud with a bead net, both on display in Room 63.
Last but not least, providing appropriate environmental conditions is integral to the long-term preservation of this remarkable textile. This includes the conditions in which it is stored and displayed – for example ensuring the light levels on display are controlled to prevent fading, and the humidity is at an appropriate level to prevent mould growth or desiccation.
With the treatment strategy decided, we can now begin to look at the details.
In the next post we'll show you the action – dyeing the right colour of net, the tiny eye surgery needles we use for stitching, our invisible silk threads and how we get the shroud onto its rigid board in less than two seconds!

The Green River High studentbody went on their third field trip of the year under the direction of the Dream Builders. A grant made possible by the United Way of Southeastern Utah and UCAN funded the field trip.
The first field trip was made last fall and explored job opportunities in energy related fields. In January a field trip was taken to Salt Lake to the Clark Planetarium. This was the first time many of these students had been to the downtown Salt Lake area.
Their concluding field trip of this school year was to the Emery County Sheriff's Office, court facility, Star Theatre and to the College of Eastern Utah.
The students were split into groups for the tour of the jail facility. While some toured the jail, the other students went into the conference room where Lt. Bill Downard and dispatcher Maureen Copatch talked to them about careers in law enforcement.
In dispatch, Sgt. Bliss Mead showed the students all of the electronic equipment used. All of the 911 calls are pinpointed on a map which is on a screen hanging from the ceiling. The dispatcher controls all of the locking doors in the building and in the pods where the inmates are housed. There are four sections in the jail. Some of the prisoners are allowed out on work release. Sgt. Dusty Butler conducted one of the tours. He told the students of the jobs available at the jail. There are dispatchers, jailers and a cook. You need a high school diploma to apply for the jobs and then on the job training is offered. Deputy training includes the POST-peace officers standards training and Fred House Academy for corrections. Detective jobs are also available.
The students were interested in the taser gun and Sgt. Butler explained how it works. There are taser guns available for use in the jail and Sgt. Butler said when they just point the gun at the subjects they become compliant. They also have a shotgun with bean bag loads if needed to maintain order in the jail. A doctor comes to the jail once a week or as needed and the only time the inmates leave would be if they needed dental work done. The courts are attached to the jail so inmates who need to go to court are just taken down a hall without leaving the building. Sgt. Butler said they have good food at the jail now that they have a cook, prior to this the trustees did the cooking. One of the students wondered if there had been less problems now that the food was better.
The students were shown the booking room where finger prints and mug shots are taken. They viewed the kitchen, laundry room and evidence room.
Sgt. Butler told the students the jail can house up to 88 people.
Lt. Downard told the students that law enforcement is a good career. He has been in law enforcement for 26 years and four days. Lt. Downard is responsible for everything involved with the jail, court security and dispatch. Lt. Downard said they have recently hired civilian dispatchers and it has worked out well.
Lt. Downard said the people in the sheriff's office are really good to work with, he has developed good friends in the office. He told the students that CEU has an excellent criminal justice program. Lt. Downard said the employees of the sheriff's office are continually receiving training. He told the students if they are interested in a career in law enforcement to come and talk to the people who are involved in these fields. He told the students the people at the sheriff's office have a lot of contacts and know people involved in every aspect of law enforcement. They would be glad to help the students get started in a career in law enforcement. "It's a rewarding career, it's rewarding to help people," said Downard.
The students moved onto the court side of the facility. Seventh District Judge Douglas Thomas spoke to the students. He also introduced the prosecuting attorney, Brent Langston and the defense counsel, David Allred. Judge Thomas said they were involved in a law and motion day. They were hearing a number of cases in various stages. He hears both criminal and civil cases. His job is to make a decision about a case based on the information presented. He graduated from law school and was in private practice for a number of years, involved in family law, domestic relations, child custody, child support and various cases of those types. He has been a judge for the Seventh District court which encompasses the counties of Grand, San Juan, Carbon and Emery. There are three judges in this district, including Judge Lyle Anderson and Judge George Harmond.
Judge Thomas told the students only a small number of cases go to trial, but the majority of the cases are settled without a trial. Judge Thomas said one of his responsibilities is to decide disputes between parties that can't agree. The state brings charges against a defendant. The defendant can waive his right to a trial. If a case is taken to trial, the jury will determine if the defendant is guilty or not guilty, but the judge will set the sentence if the defendant is found guilty.
One of the students asked Judge Thomas if he knew all the laws before becoming a judge. Judge Thomas showed the students the four volumes of Utah code books, and told the students it is impossible to know all of the laws.
The judges rely on the attorneys to present the law. The attorneys research the laws and present their views of which laws should apply in each case.
The judge and lawyers present recommended careers as lawyers. Judge Thomas said his career has been very rewarding.
Allred encouraged the students to get good grades in school so they can get scholarships and be able to get into the schools they want to attend. "Work hard and start now, if you're not getting good grades then your opportunities are limited," said Allred. Allred said he has enjoyed his law career very much.
Langston said he went to law school and obtained a law degree. Reading, writing and speaking are very important skills to have as a lawyer. Langston said in criminal cases it's his job to find truth and justice. If there isn't a case with probable cause then he also has the duty to dismiss charges. Lawyers need three additional years of schooling after completing a bachelors degree.
Wade Allinson from the Adult Probation and Parole also spoke to the students, he said part of his job is to put together presentencing reports for the judge. This supplies the judge with more information to base his decisions. Part of their job is to watch people on parole and probation. He encouraged students also, to get good grades. He said the current position he holds there were 200 applicants and one opening. "It's a competitive field, you need to increase your skills," said Allinson.
The students traveled to the Star Theatre in Huntington where they had lunch and watched a movie. Star Theatre, Grill and Fun Center owners, Percy and Janice Mounteer told the students how they started their small business. They began by purchasing and renovating the theatre. They diversified their business by opening the Fun Center and Grill three years ago. "It's hard in a little town to have a small business, if you want your own business then you need to do plenty of research," said Janice.
After the movie the students traveled to the CEU campus and listened to presentations by CEU instructors which included: Stan Martineau-automotive, Mike Tryon-welding, Frances Swasey-nursing, Henning Olsen-business, Scott Henrie, Rich Walton-criminal justice, and Lewis Stilson-building construction. The students toured the forensics lab while on campus.
Next school year field trips are being planned for Antelope Island, IHC health facilities, Hunter power plant and construction companies in the area.

The path between Moore and I-70 is getting better each day. Phase II of the Moore cut-off road is nearing completion. The project began in January. Phase I started on the Moore side and Phase II began just off of I-70. Phase III, when it begins, will take off where Phase II leaves off.
In the 1960s when I-70 was completed, the federal government had a pool of money to help get rural communities connected to the nationwide interstate system. The Moore road was the road designated to become upgraded to be the connector road from Western Emery County to I-70. The road and the money never materialized, but now 40 plus years later the long awaited improvements to the road are becoming a reality. Rep. Jim Matheson was instrumental in securing the funds for the improvements to the road. The road will be completed in several phases until the final phase which will be asphalt along the entire length of the road.
Nielson Construction has been the contractor for Phase II. Johansen and Tuttle is doing the engineering work with Nathan Johansen as the project manager. "The toughest thing about Phase II has been the enormous amount of rock we had to remove from a cut. It took about two months to go through it. The deepest cut was 27 feet. We had to drill and shoot it because blasting was required to remove the rock. All of the materials for the project have come out of the pit. The road base is mixed with permazyme which hardens the road.
"People are now traveling on the new alignment and everyone has had very positive comments about the improvements. There are two gypsum mines in the area and they are loving the new road. The tourists who travel along here also had very good things to say. It's been a tough job but the improvement is remarkable," said Johansen.
Phase III and IV have been designed and are now awaiting Utah Department of Transportation approval. UDOT must approve the designs before the phases can be bid. It is hopeful they will be bid in early fall of this year. UDOT has completed a new fence along Phase II of the project.
"Phase II is actually a little shorter than originally intended due to higher construction costs; the high fuel costs have really affected everyone," said Johansen.
Johansen and Tuttle surveyors were on the job making sure the grade was correct. The top of the grade is marked with red heads. These markers show the blade operators the exact height the grade needs to be when they are spreading the road base.
Johansen said, "We work to maintain a balance with the cut and fill. We like to cut just enough to make the fill and we like to utilize the materials found on site to minimize the need to haul anything out or in for the job."
The workers from Nielson Construction were also on the job at the crusher breaking the rocks down to the 1.5 inch and smaller rocks needed for the road base.
The crusher operators are careful to get just the right mix for the road base which guarantees the road will hold up with the traffic load.
