|Prince Tour 98 Scores
If you were a fan of Prince's popular EXO3 Rebel 98, you'll be happy to hear that not much has changed with its update, the Tour 98. The Tour 98 still offers maneuverability, control and spin in a ultra soft, arm-friendly package. Our playtesters really enjoyed how the low-powered response allowed them to take big cuts at the ball without fear of their shots sailing long. The precision was appreciated the most at net and on returns, while maneuverability and spin helped our team from the baseline and when serving. Our biggest issue with the racquet was the super soft, dampened feel. Although the soft feel makes the racquet very arm-friendly and comfortable, it also left our playtesters feeling a little too disconnected from their shots. Depth was hard to judge at times, especially on finesse-type shots. All in all, fans of soft, control-oriented racquets, like the Rebel 98, should take note and throw the Tour 98 onto their next demo order!
Maneuverability and spin potential were the two attributes that stood out in the Tour 98 the most to our playtesters. However, feelings about the racquet's overall performance from the baseline differed among the team. Karly felt dialed in from the start of the test and felt the racquet really suited her well. She explained, "Wow, what a great all-around frame! Not only does the Tour 98 offer excellent control with good power, but it's also stable and extremely comfortable on the arm. On top of all that, the maneuverability was right in the range that I like -- it's easy enough to swing quickly, but there's also enough mass behind it to give it a solid feel and help me generate my own power. However, the thing that stood out the most to me was the feel of the racquet. It's one of the most comfortable, forgiving racquets that I've ever hit with, and it also offers good stability. I really liked how soft it felt on my arm, but at times I think that feeling was almost too much of a good thing. The racquet had such a dampened, muted feel to it that my shots didn't feel very lively. It didn't feel like I was hitting with a lot of power because the stringbed absorbed so much of the shock, even though I was hitting with good pace. The racquet felt really solid and stable, but I would've liked a little more feel from the racquet to keep me more connected to my more powerful shots."
Jason liked how easy it was to swing and generate spin with the Tour 98, but he wished for a bit more heft to make the racquet more stable. He said, "There was plenty of pop behind my shots when I hit them cleanly, and the access to spin was great. I did prefer hitting topspin more than slice because there wasn't enough weight behind the ball to hit a more knifing slice. It was easy to generate racquet head speed, but the Tour 98 got pushed around when I played against bigger hitters because of its low weight."
Brittany has certainly hit with her fair share of Prince racquets. She liked the spin and control of the Tour 98 but felt there was an inconsistent response off the stringbed. She offered, "My history with Prince racquets goes back pretty far. I started my tennis career with the Prince Thunderlite, moved to the Triple Threat Hornet and have played with several generations of the Black series. Now, I know the Tour 98 is slightly different than those racquets, but the thing that stood out to me was how flexible this racquet is. I tend to play with racquets with a stiffness rating in the high 60s, so I did have a bit of an adjustment period switching to a racquet in the high 50s. I found decent access to spin and could control the side-to-side placement of my shots with ease. One thing I noticed was the stringbed response was a little uneven. There were definitely hot spots (especially the sweetspot, where I found a lot of power), but there were also some cooler spots. This affected the depth of my ball, and I struggled with consistently hitting balls deep in the court. It isn't as powerful as some of the racquets I prefer, but when paired with a stiffer poly it had all the power I needed. Also, I was confident hitting slices with this racquet."
Sean appreciated the spin and comfort, but he just never could get his groundies working well with the Tour 98. He said, "I had a lot of trouble finding my range with this racquet from the baseline. I felt extremely disconnected from the ball because of the exceptional dampening provided by Prince's EXO3 technology, and this hindered my ability to gauge my shots correctly. I also found that this racquet was far less powerful than I had anticipated, which forced me to concentrate on keeping the ball deep rather than hitting naturally. I did enjoy the spin potential this racquet offered, but unfortunately, it was too difficult to find much consistency from the baseline."
Our playtesters liked how easy it was to get the Tour 98 into position to hit their volleys, as well as the precision that it offered. However, the testers struggled at times with the feel and stability. Brittany found it stable enough, but she felt too disconnected from her shots to have complete control over them. She said, "Volleys are where I struggled the most with the softness of the racquet. I felt like I was disconnected from the racquet and couldn't feel where the ball was on the stringbed. I really had a hard time hitting touch volleys and angle volleys. Touch volleys tended to pop up, and I couldn't get the ball to angle enough to pull my opponents off the court. On the positive side, the racquet had a solid combination of stability and maneuverability."
Jason appreciated the maneuverability but once again wished for more weight to help with the racquet's stability. He said, "The Tour 98 was plenty maneuverable up at net, and I enjoyed it on overheads and when I was able to hit a clean volley. However, on shots that hit outside the sweetspot, which felt generous in size, I noticed a lot of torquing."
Sean had more favorable thoughts about the Tour 98 at net than he did from the baseline, but like Jason, he thought a little more weight would help the racquet's performance. He offered, "The smaller sweetspot didn't give me nearly as many issues at the net as it did from the baseline. This racquet had good plow through at net and allowed me to redirect my volleys easily. I had to work to get my volleys deep in the court because of the very low power level, although my touch shots worked great and I could find a lot of angles while at net. A little extra weight might help slightly with the lack of power, and make it easier for me to drive shots deeper into the court to keep my opponents off balance."
The Tour 98 checked all the right boxes on volleys and overheads for Karly. She raved, "I was just as happy to come up to net as I was hitting at the baseline, which usually isn't the case! The combination of control and power was still pretty even, so I was confident hitting my shots where I wanted, and with good pace. If I wanted to take speed off the ball and hit a drop shot, the forgiveness of the racquet made it really easy. Then, to make hitting volleys even easier, the Tour 98 offered good maneuverability so I could get it in position to hit a hard hit ball or a hard overhead smash. I have no complaints with this racquet at the net!"
The spin potential and maneuverability of the Tour 98 really shone through for our team when serving, and everyone was finding success. All of the playtesters loved the control the racquet offered, but they also continued to struggle with the almost too soft feel. Sean explained, "The dampened feel and low power yielded a great result when it came to my serves. After some adjustment, I found that I could put everything into my first serve and still direct it accurately. Surprisingly, the lighter static weight of this racquet didn't cause me any problems when it came to stability. I did have some trouble adjusting on my second serves because of the lack of feel. With an already soft flex, the muted feel really caused some inconsistencies. I found that the open string pattern grabbed the ball well, although most of my second serves were landing quite short in the service box."
Control, power and spin were all there for Karly when serving, but she, like Sean, had trouble feeling totally connected because of the soft, dampened feel. She said, "The control was still good, but I felt like I got more power and spin out of the Tour 98 when serving than on other shot. The extra power and spin were especially noticeable on my second serves. I could get a ton of topspin, with good pace, to really make the ball kick out. Again, the racquet was comfortable on my arm, but I would've liked to have felt a little more response. The Tour 98 was so soft that it was somewhat hard to tell if I was hitting a powerful serve or not. I personally prefer stiffer racquets that don't feel as muted."
Jason felt in command of his serves, saying, "I think the best thing about serving with this racquet was the consistency. The combination of swingweight, access to spin and balance all contributed to the fact that I was making a higher percentage of my serves than usual. I also felt like directional control was very good with this stick."
Spin was the standout feature for Brittany, although nothing stood out as excellent. She offered, "I found this racquet to be about average when it came to serving. It didn't do anything exceptionally well, but I didn't have any issues with it, either. On my first serves, I never really felt connected with the racquet and ended up just slicing a lot of serves into the body. I did find a tiny bit of success hitting flat down the T on the deuce side, and I was able to get a couple of free points. Second serves were better; I was able to hit second serves that were kicking up high enough to keep my opponents from attacking."
Maneuverability and precision are usually a recipe for success on the return of serve, so it was no surprise the Tour 98 impressed our playtesters. It had everything Karly could ever want in a racquet. She raved, "It was so easy to hit aggressive returns. I was more confident going for harder returns because of the control the racquet offered. I could take big cuts at the ball without having to worry about my shots soaring way long. I could use the weight of the racquet to drive through the ball to hit a deep, powerful return. Then, when I had to hit a defensive return, the racquet was maneuverable enough to get around in time to hit a decent ball back. I was a big fan of returning with the Tour 98."
Sean liked the low-powered response when he was hitting his aggressive returns, saying, "I had some success being overly aggressive with my service returns because of how low powered this Prince ended up being. I was able to take my returns earlier and use my opponent's pace to redirect shots back deep into the court. The smaller sweetspot did give my return game some problems, especially when I had to defend against slice or kick serves that took me out of my comfort zone. As long as I had pace to work with, I could manage. Without it, however, I was forced to go for a big return to avoid leaving my returns short."
Brittany had more success than she expected when returning serve with this racquet. She explained, "I was a little surprised at how well I returned with this racquet. It had a good combination of maneuverability and stability. I never felt like the racquet was getting pushed around, and I found I was able to set up in plenty of time to return any serve. This allowed me to start points off offensively when I was returning."
Jason didn't have quite as much success as the others when returning serve. However, we can respect and appreciate Jason's modesty. He said, "I think I would've liked returning with this more if I were a better player. My shots were landing short when I didn't hit a clean return, and I was immediately on the defensive. However, I felt like I could attack the second serve because of the spin I was able to put on my returns. The erratic stringbed was quite noticeable here."
Jason - "Spin, control and maneuverability. It's also arm-friendly."
Brittany - "I thought this racquet was solid in several areas, including spin, maneuverability, stability and (just enough) power ."
Sean - "This is a lower powered racquet for those looking to blast away from the baseline. I also liked the soft and flexible feel."
Karly - "The amount of control was perfect. The solid feel and the weight of the racquet helped generate power."
Jason - "The erratic stringbed, lack of torsional stability and lack of touch/feel."
Brittany - "I personally did not like how soft the racquet felt. I also had issues with the depth of my shots due to an uneven stringbed response."
Sean - "There was too much of a dampened feel to really find much consistency, and the sweetspot was not very forgiving."
Karly - "The feel was so muted that I couldn't feel if I was hitting a powerful shot or not. I felt disconnected from the ball and would've liked more feel from the racquet. I personally prefer stiffer racquets."
Jason - "Similar, but more arm-friendly than the Head Graphene Instinct MP. It has the feel of previous EXO3 racquets."
Brittany - "I'm going to compare this racquet to another racquet that I am currently playtesting, the Prince Warrior 100. These racquets have pretty similar specs, except for the flex rating. The Warrior 100 is a little bit more powerful, but they had very similar control, spin and maneuverability. I liked the stiffer feel of the Warrior better than the Tour 98."
Sean - "The Babolat Pure Storm racquet is a similar frame in that it has a solid, dampened feel with a lighter static weight. The Dunlop Biomimetic M3.0 also fits the mold of a low powered, 98 square inch, 11 ounce frame. I thought both these racquets performed better than the Prince Tour 98."
Karly - "The feel, control and power reminded me of the Head Graphene Radical MP. Both are comfortable, control-oriented racquets that also offer a good amount of power."

A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (1843)
Well, my parents have one thing that is my favorite ornament. It isn't particularaly nice to look at, but it is a reminder of a wonderful neighbor we used to have. It is a chestnut with a screw in it and some white kitchen string tied around the screw so it can hang on the tree. This neighbor was always joking around. One year he went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of chestnuts. He then realized he didn't know how to cook them. Instead of throwing them out (or looking in a cook book), he put small piles at people's front doors, and a sign that read "reindeer droppings". That is one of my favorite Christmas memories, and looking at that rotten old chestnut reminds me of it. I'm also willing to bet it's the only chestnut reindeer dropping in the world.
On a side note, that same fellow owns a Santa suit, and he would go to strangers houses, and give out candy and oranges, and joke around about who had been bad or good. I'm sure they all assumed it was a friend or relative, and I can just imagine how puzzled they were when months later they still couldn't figure out who it was.
That is an amazing story! I love it. Christmas(for me) is all about traditions and giving to others. Your neighbour totally got the concept I think.
When I was a kid about 5 or 6 we went to my mom's friends house and see had a pretty tree but had cob webs all over it. I couldn't understand that because her house was always nice and clean. I had never seen angel hair before then and my mom thought it was so funny.
Hmmm.. I guess another funny thing on my tree is my little bird, sleeping on it!!
And so, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless us!! Everyone!!''

Receiving a new organ is a wonderful gift, but the process of receiving and recovering from a transplant brings with it its own emotional struggle. After the transplant, many factors may create emotional issues. Above all, transplant recipients should remember that everyone recovers from surgery at a different pace, and that it is completely normal to have good days and bad days. Furthermore, your transplant team will not simply disappear once you have been sewn up. They will be with you through the process of recovery and as you go on to live your life with your new organ.

Flames All Time Top 10 Draft Picks - #10 Sergei Makarov
Vintage Flame
November 28 2012 09:49AM
(Today we begin a new series on the Flames top-10 draft picks of all time. FN writers were polled, their votes tallied and the players ranked accordingly. We begin the countdown to #1 with 10th placed Sergei Makarov.)
As Flames fans, we have become used to a particular phenomenon when it comes to who the organization selects at the NHL draft. That being the only thing most of us are sure about is that their pick is usually going to be "off the board" in some manner. Meaning, no one else is really sure of the pick either.
In 1983, the team indeed went off the board. Not in the sense that fans had razor blades at their readiness with their first round pick, but rather in the twelfth round, 231st overall the Calgary Flames took a flier on a player they were probably never going to see in their uniform. At 24 years of age, Sergei Makarov was easily a first round talent. Heck, he could have even gone first overall had it not been for the cold war and the fact he played in the Soviet Elite League.
At that time there were no such thing as deals or transfer agreements.
What made matters worse is Makarov played for Central Red Army, the flagship of the Soviet league; in other words, Hell would freeze over before he could ever play in North America at all, let alone for the Calgary Flames.
As a result, it wasn't exactly a blockbuster steal for the Flames to take him so late. There was no reason to take a flier on Soveits at number one, or even in the first round. The ball didn't even get rolling until the seventh round when the Habs took notorious Russian netminder Vladislav Tretiak with the 134th pick overall. Slava Fetisov followed in the 8th, Alexander Cherykh in the 10th and finally Alexei Kasatonov and Makarov in the twelfth. Oh and in case you were wondering…the Minnesota North Stars selected Brian Lawton with the first overall that year.
Makarov's career in the Soviet Union was nothing short of spectacular. In his rookie season with Red Army, he scored 39 points in 44 games. By the time he was 21, he would have his best season, tallying 79 points in 49 games. He would then follow that with a 75 point effort but in three fewer games. What makes these numbers remarkable is the fact that seldom were second assists ever awarded on goals in the Soviet league. By the time the Flames drafted Makarov in 1983, he would have recorded 146 goals and 303 points in 213 games.
In his eleven seasons with Central Red Army, Makarov would write his own name into history, collecting Soviet "Player of the Year" eight times, three MVP awards (1980, 1985 & 1989). He led the league in scoring nine times (1980-82 & 1984-89), three of those years, he also led the league in goals. In 1984, Sergei Makarov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, given to honour "great deeds and services to the Soviet State and society".
That was just his accomplishments within the Russian Super League. In international play, Makarov racked up two WJC gold medals, eight golds, one silver and a bronze in the World Championships as well as two golds and a silver medal in the Olympic Games. All in all, he would suit up for the national team 315 times. In 101 World Championship games, Makarov would record 118 points.
When the IIHF celebrated its centennial they asked 56 members from 16 different countries to name the "best six of all time". Makarov was honoured alongside both Wayne Gretzky and his countryman and idol, Valeri Kharlamov.
In 1988, Sergei Pryakhin became the first Soviet player to play in the NHL, with permission. The following year the unthinkable happened when the Soviet Union allowed Makarov to join his countryman with the Calgary Flames in the NHL.
At 31, in his rookie season, Makarov notched 24 goals and 86 points in 80 games. He was 13th in the NHL with 62 assists, 4th in the league with a +/- 33 and a shooting percentage of 20.3%; good enough to earn him the Calder trophy as the league's top rookie.
From the moment Makarov arrived in North America, he was under the proverbial microscope. So much so that after winning the Calder trophy, the NHL actually changed its criteria for eligibility. The Makarov Rule, as it became known, said that a player had to be no older than 26 in his rookie season to be eligible to win the award.
Added to the intense pressure was the unfamiliarity of the North American game. More accustomed to the intricate skilled passing game that was taught in the Soviet Union, Makarov now had to adjust to the NHL's more physical dump-and-chase style of play. With time not exactly on his side, Sergei used his skills to further the play of those around him. Not many people would have pegged Gary Roberts as a model for goal scoring, hovering around the 20 goal average; that is until he played with Sergei Makarov. With #42 on his wing, Roberts would enjoy three of his best seasons in the NHL, notching 38, 39 and even 53 goals in the 1991-92 season.
In his four seasons with the Calgary Flames, Sergei Makarov would total 94 goals and 292 points in 297 games played. The numbers were not as impressive or "remarkable" as his storied career in the Soviet league, but then again he came to the NHL nowhere close to his prime and was thrust into a playing style he was neither familiar nor comfortable with.
That being said, he still managed to be a near point per game player. What really makes it fitting having Makarov lead this series on the Flames top-10 draft picks of all time is that we have to remember this guy was never supposed to be here in the first place.
It wasn't a question of not belonging in the NHL, his skill and what he brought to the game transcended the age issues and cultural divide. Rather, it just wasn't plain fair. A time horizon that was skewed in the wrong direction has to be considered a mitigating factor, does it not? Just as it is unfair when a talent has his career cut too short, Makarov's situation is very much likened to that scenario. Whether you consider it too short or forced because it began too late, Sergei wasn't given enough time to make the impact he could have made. Of ccourse, if Makarov had been avilable to flee his homeland earlier, the Flames certainly would not have been able to draft him with a throw away pick n 1983 either.
There is no denying what Makarov meant to the game of hockey, but imagine… just imagine for a moment what he could have meant to the NHL or to the Calgary Flames if he was able to come over as that 24 year old phenom. The time he would have had to assimilate to the North American game and the effect he could have had on the game as a whole. Could he have given Gretzky a run for his money? The most unfortunate answer to that, is that we will never know...but it sure would have been fun to see.
As Sports Illustrated said, the Greatest NHL player to wear #42, Sergei Makarov. What say you FlamesNation? Could Makarov been higher on this list had he not come over six years after he was drafted?

One of the best players ever. If he had come over earlier or played in Calgary longer, no question he'd be near the top of this list.
Great player that I loathed growing up in Winnipeg (along with all other Flames and Oilers). Interesting idea for Top Draft Pick articles guys...can I ask that you skip over "The Dion"? Or hopefully he did not make the Top 10 due to his obvious imperfections?
November 28 2012, 11:14AM
@MC Hockey
Sorry dude...Phaneuf is next.
Great idea for a series! Very much looking forward to the rest.
One minor quibble: it would be interesting to see the raw scores each of the panelists gave to the top 10, similar to what was done in the top 10 prospects series over the summer. Even if you made it anonymous, it'd be interesting to see how many had Makarov at #8 vs. how many forgot about Sergei, et cetera. Although obviously it would be more fun to have panelists' names next to their rankings, so we can praise or (more likely) deride them for their choices.
November 28 2012, 11:40AM
I can do that.
Oh, and actually more related to the article: while Makarov was undoubtedly a better player than some of the others who will be on the list, I have to agree with putting him at #10 in terms of draft picks.
Dude was already 24 and an established star on the best team in the second-best (if not the best) league on earth when he was picked. When he's still available in the 12th(!) round, of course you should take a flier on the off chance he might later defect. Not exactly a masterclass in scouting, talent projection, or development.
November 28 2012, 11:55AM
Yeah. In addition, his effect on the team was muted give his age and the amount of time he spent with the Flames once he finally came over.

But..as with all draft picks..having the advantage of being able to look back, years later, sure it was an easy pick to make in round 12. But in 1983 the Flames were the only organization that called his name. No other team was willing to "waste" even an 11th round choice on this aging Russian. Great pick by the Flames.
Now Dion in round one, when there were a lot of other prime players available. I wouldn't put him above the Makarov pick. Not with, again, the advantage of hindsight.
The real test, if they had it to do over again (knowing what they know now) would they still take Dion? Not likely.
November 28 2012, 01:00PM
@supra steve
Well, they got a top pairing dman out of it. The only real failings were how he was handled after being drafted (massive contract c.o. Sutter, terrible trade return).

Not saying Dion was an awful pick. He is clearly one of the best 1st rounders taken by the Flames in the past 20 years, they could have done a lot worse with that pick. And yes, Sutter got gang raped on the Dion trade.
But with the benefit of hindsight, would they not have been better off if they had taken one of the following (not saying they are all better then Dion, but surely one or two of them qualify) who were all available at the Dion pick?
J Carter
D Brown
B Seabrook
Z Parise
R Getzlaf
R Kesler
C Perry
S Weber
For me, the really great picks are the ones where you get the absolute best player who is still available. Picks like Makarov, Theo, Nieuwendyk, G Suter, and possibly Gaudreau and Baertschi (fingers crossed, time will tell).
Thanks for that!
Lucky guess on my part, but I see it was a popular option!
@suba steve
You might be right about hindsight as far as drafting the current captain of the make-beliefs ahead of, well, basically every one of the guys you listed, but especially the ones who turned out to be #1C material. I hear those kinds of players are good to have...
November 28 2012, 05:09PM
@supra steve
I definitely thought that the Flames could've done a lot better initially. However, I'd pare that list down; I wouldn't put Carter, Brown, or Kesler above Dion at this point, for various reasons. I also hate Perry, so there's that.
Getzlaf, Parise, Weber, Seabrook or Bergeron are all guys I'd have rather had, to varying degress, though (there are others as well) - I will say that. I just don't know if the Flames have enough picks that are "really great" enough to knock Dion out of the top 10.
November 28 2012, 05:40PM
My 10 great Flame picks (no particular order):
G Titov #252 overall
R Reichel #70
Loob #181
Vernon #56
Makarov #231
Hull #117
Suter #180
Theo #166
Nieuwendyk #27
Moss #220
My selections because all turned out to be way better then their draft position would have indicated, not because they are the best players the organization has ever drafted.
November 28 2012, 06:29PM
Well, they got a top pairing dman out of it. The only real failings were how he was handled after being drafted (massive contract c.o. Sutter, terrible trade return).
not to mention that they paired him with Regehr for some reason, and didn't separate them even after months (!!!) of it being an obviously terrible decision.
KLM-- Krutov, Larionov, Makarov--3 of the greatest players anywhere, ever.
The Habs would have been unstoppable with Tretiak in net. I mean, even more unstoppable.

Just OK
"Maybe it's because I haven't worn these out yet (i.e. matched them up with the perfect outfit), but they seem a little on the plain side. The color was a little disappointing (a little more bronze-like than it appears online), but I have to say the shoes are true to size and very comfy."

The first issue I run into is how I am going to power it (the tracker and the weather station). Not being familiar with weather station sensors and servo motors, will I need two separate power supply sources (e.g. 2 separate solar panels/batteries)? I don't want to have it plugged in, so that way I can place it wherever I want. I was thinking a solar panel might be good - I live in Houston, TX and it's pretty sunny here. That coupled with a rechargeable LiPo battery might do the trick? I have a nice 9V@1W solar panel from Parallax, and about 5 or 6 of those little garden light solar pannels that, if wired in series, might be able to get me up to 9V in peak day light (maybe 4 or 5V indoors) total.
will be in my backyard,
I really wanted wireless but the climate here just won't allow it. It can stay below freezing for months in the winter and I know even with a SLA battery I'd have power issues in that kind of prolonged cold. Plus, the sun can disappear for weeks here.
The guy in the video used 3 photo resistors and calculated difference between the center and each one on the side.
I'll start reading about SLA batteries - thanks for the tip.
On the suggestion of a voltage regulator: I agree that's a good idea and I'm not familiar with how they work. If I have a solar panel that outputs 9V in daylight, that voltage level will obviously fluctuate depending on time of day and clouds, etc. The 9V should be good for an arduino to run on, but do arduinos handle the voltage fluctuations? Would it be better to regulate it back to a constant 6V? Or perhaps run everything off of the battery and only use the solar panel to recharge batteries during the day?
I searched it google but I could not able to understand.

With real estate sales [1] still recovering, many Americans are deciding to stay put for a while and improve the homes they have. Just as important is making sure you invest those improvement dollars wisely, in equipment, systems and materials that will have lasting value and, wherever possible, actually upgrade overall home value and increase energy efficiency.
Strategic home improvement upgrades with long-term value can make a home of any age just as good as new, without the expense and uncertainty involved in a newly built abode.
"Because homeowners are making a choice not to sell and move, they're looking to upgrade their home and find some of the benefits that in fact they would be receiving in a newer home," says Rick Croce of Chicago-based Smykal Renovations. "As people understand their needs and their wants, it's really more about what exactly will fit their budget and what's best for them."
If you fall into the stay-put-and-improve category of homeowners, here are seven savvy ways to upgrade your home for enjoyment and efficiency that'll continue for decades to come.
1. New Roof
Most roofing products are meant to last 20 years or more, so if your current roofing is due for replacement, literally take it from the top as you weigh your long-term improvement options. In some cases, you may be able to add a new roofing layer [2] over the existing one and save a few bucks, but you'll get the best results and longest life with a completely new roof. Starting fresh means using new technologies in flashing and underlayments that help preserve the integrity of the roofing material and prevent leaks. Also look into roofing options that make the maximum contribution to your home's energy efficiency, such as reflective "cool roofs [3]" that stay 50 to 60 degrees cooler in the summer sun. Installing cool roofing can also bring valuable tax credits and rebates.
2. New Siding
Preserve your home's structural integrity and give it an updated look by installing new siding. Super-durable, low-maintenance products like James Hardie [4]'s HardiePlank fiber cement siding come in a range of style profiles and colors, with coordinating detail and finish pieces to amp up architectural interest. Comprised of cement and wood fibers, this product also happens to be a green siding solution [5], and an affordable one at that.
3. Heating and Cooling Equipment
The condition and function of your HVAC equipment have everything to do with efficient, affordable home comfort. Even the best-maintained appliances start showing their age, and upgrading to newer, more efficient equipment is a sensible investment that also leads to savings. Shop for Energy Star [6] qualified heating and cooling equipment, which can trim your annual energy bills by as much as 30 percent while putting money in your pocket through rebates and tax incentives.
4. Efficient Windows
Another energy-smart investment is replacement of old, poorly insulated windows. High-efficiency window glass and weather-resistant construction combine with clever technologies and great styling for a change that'll do your house proud. Special window labeling [7] by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) will tell you all you need to know about a window or skylight product's performance and efficiency, and thanks to their construction for year-round efficiency, you'll be able to ditch that old-school winter storm window routine.
5. Long-term Landscaping
Also take a sustainable approach to the outside of your home, making selections and investments that add value, keep maintenance reasonable and provide flexibility over time.
"The master plan has to be taken into consideration," says Dennis Stevens, principal designer with Lindeman/Stevens Landscape Design in Los Angeles. "Look at creating a long-term atmosphere that can move from kids in a sandbox to the teen years…Make the exterior work for how your family grows."
That includes sensible sizing of a porch, deck or terrace to make an outdoor room that accommodates needs without wasting space. It also means selecting easy-care, indigenous hedges, trees and groundcovers, with an eye toward "dwarf" varieties that will look great now and later.
6. Universal Design
With multi-generational households on the rise and Baby Boomers aging toward their retirement years, accessibility is a big concern when it comes to home improvements, especially those that deliver long-lasting value. Ensure that you'll be able to enjoy your home for as long as you plan to by applying the principles of universal design [8]. Keep barrier-free features in mind as you replace fixtures or remodel rooms, replace standard doorknobs with lever-style models, and install grab bars in the bath. Make clear pathways for wheelchair and walker access, and restyle spaces so there's plenty of room for folks of any age to maneuver.
7. Built-In Storage
Maximize the space you have while bringing order and calm to everyday living with customized storage solutions. Do-it-yourself closet systems make a definite difference, and working with design pros takes storage scenarios to the next level. A small spare room can be transformed into a storage-filled, efficient office space, and a cavernous closet can become a deluxe dressing area. And don't forget the garage: with the right fixtures in place, you can have that workshop you always wanted and room for the family car, too!
Investing in home improvements that last make it possible to enjoy the present with less home maintenance hassles and preserves your home's future value for many years to come.

We couldn't help but share this thought-provoking email, received from one of our loyal Denim Therapy customers. Do you agree? Disagree? How do you approach your relationship with your favorite jeans? Tell us on facebook! We want to hear your story.
"Every time I get a pair of brand new jeans, something happens. Like a dog jumps on me at a dinner party and bingo, two weeks in, I've more or less failed.
I say failed because part of the appeal of raw denim is its newness, its pristine quality. There's no other option that looks as gorgeously textured. It's why the stuff has caught on in style-worlds that favor fresh, crisp looks (hip-hop). In the same way that sneakers are kept as pristine as possible, some folks treat their jeans that way. Also, any attempts to wear jeans as remotely formal are greatly helped by a flawless pair.
At the same time, I hear time and time again that raw denim is supposed to tell a story through its wear. Life is organic and imperfect and these jeans tell the world this in the most explicit way. Is this an either/or proposition? Is there a turning point? A gradual descent? Is it essentially a question of what style-world you fall into–and what look your lifestyle realistically allows for?
Do I wear the jeans or do the jeans wear me?
There's also the question of the idealized fade–perfect imperfection–versus the ugly realities of what life brings to pants. I read a lot about wallet fades and whiskering. No one seems nearly as into coffee spills or early discoloration.
It's almost like denim comes into this world as extremely impressionable. If it goes through the right experiences, it ends up wise and battle-tested. If not, it has scars and we're inclined to say it's "fragile" at the start. It's even more like us than we think!"
Thoughts? Let us know on facebook or tweet at us.

"Great shoe for an even better price! These are so cute and very comfortable.I usually wear a size 7.5 but went for an 8 because of other reviews saying they run narrow and small. I think I would have still been ok with ordering the 7.5 but because there is an elastic band on the back that grips your heel the 8 still works."

pretty comfortable, better w/ socks
"The first day that I wore these I wore them without socks and the material in the front (near the toes) irritated the top of my foot a little bit (redness/ a little scratchy in texture). Today I'm wearing them with socks and they are much more comfortable. Cute and casual (I'm a sucker for leopard print)...the quality also seems to be good especially as I break them in.I'm between 9.5 and 10 and bought 10 based on the reviews stating the the shoe is narrow. I have wide feet (somewhat) and I actually didn't find these to be narrow. I guess I could have gotten the 9.5, but as I plan on wearing these on sunny days to the beach, etc (hopefully without socks lol), the extra room for my feet to expand will be nice. Good support (better than most flats). Would recommend these."

Spending nearly two weeks in Daytona and competing in 5 races prior to his NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) debut, Larson has spent plenty of time at the 2.5-mile superspeedway.

Industry giant Royal Caribbean is the latest cruise line to ban smoking on cabin balconies.
The line this week announced the use of cigarettes, cigars and other smoking products on balconies will be forbidden effective Jan. 1, 2014, and customers found in violation will face a $250 penalty.
Smoking already is banned in the interior part of cabins on Royal Caribbean's 21 vessels.
RELATED: Seabourn, Cunard tighten smoking rules
PHOTO TOUR: Inside the revamped Grandeur of the Seas
As part of this week's announcement, Royal Caribbean also said it is extending its interior smoking ban to all public spaces on its 21 vessels, with the exception of casinos.
A caveat: The new smoking restrictions will not be enforced on cruises sailing in Asia.
Royal Caribbean's move comes in the wake of similar announcements from Disney Cruise Line and Cunard Line. Also tweaking its smoking policy just this week was MSC Cruises.
In a statement, Royal Caribbean says its new smoking restrictions are the result of "careful consideration and review of guest feedback."
In addition to casinos, passengers still will be able to smoke in the Connoisseur Clubs found on select vessels as well as some areas on the starboard side of outer decks, Royal Caribbean says.
The new restrictions apply to electronic cigarettes.

^ The bijuu itself may be the key. If, I'm not mistaken only kyubi's chakra is red and after filtring it out of hate/anger, it becomes bright yellow. Every other bijuu's is blue if I remember correctly (at least those that have been shown - 1-tails, 2-tails, 3-tails (?)), although I'm not sure if Hachibi's isn't different as well (black ?).
There are many colors of chakra that we have seen:
- blue - normal humans, ninja animals(?), some of the bijuu (?),
- red - Kyubi's,
- bright yellow, - Kyubi's without it's mind,
- violet - the one that sometimes sprouted out of Oro and Sasuke, maybe Yuugo as well (one of the reasons why Naruto's new mode has a yellow chakra is to point out that it's polar oposite to the bad guy's violet one).
I have a question, what is actually Yuugo's cursed power, that his blood can be used as a serum to boost other people ? It isn't really a bloodline limit, right ? Is it a form of mutation that only he was born with ? Or is he like the Kin Gin brothers, mutated because of the contact with a bijuu (got hit by a moon rock at young age ?) ?

Proud Supporter Of S2, Deal With It
IsmaelVera for President
Camp MojoSpirit
Wow, he looks amazing! I'm sure he'll be tons of fun
Don't you think the skillset is pretty uninspired? Not to say that a lot of other heroes would've been all that inspired either, but man, the same spell twice with slight differences + enhanced tornadostick + Mordekaisers passive.
Granted, the shield is an OK idea even if it a replica of Mordekaisers passive in LoL, but why is it on this hero? Like, he has whole lot of burst magic damage, a stun and a slow, hmmm what else can we add, oh how about a blink or a charge or a skill that lets him soak damage? Just something to boost his survivability. Well, throw the dice and see which one we are gonna go with. What are the downsides supposed to be?
Then the visuals. Lifted trees look OK, but creeps fling around like they would be placed into a centrifuge. Why? Its too violent, and thus distracting. Some of the floating/flying animations also look jerky, as if the origin that the objects orbit around would violently warp around as opposed to shifting around smoothly.
The tornado effect is way too big, its like that ghost effect on revenant. Its distracting because its just some blue **** flinging around violently and covers a lot more space than it needs to.
Another thing is the blue rocks orbiting around the hero itself. They are alright on their own but why are they affected by the heros facing? Like, if you turn, the rocks turn with you. It looks stupid.
As a final note, how hard is it to craft something you can call your own as opposed to creating a popculture reference, rip off other games or do male -> slutty female transitions for your alt avatars?
This post is probably going to get deleted since I didn't sugarcoat it.
Tanky as **** and loads of aoe damage, typical s2 hero
You had some arguements but they're not strong. I like this hero and I now know why stormspirit was nerfed (new hero).
I get your points but the way you present them is ridiculous and insulting.
Check out my hero design, The Condra:
Rate it and please leave feedback ty
Can he throw neutral creeps?
Ophelia's Minotaur?
Parasite inside a Minotaur?
Seems that if you catch him out in the open, such as in the river or inside either of the bases, he's pretty screwed as far as damage goes. Puzzle box will be core to help with this problem? Maybe?
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiii
To my understanding, stormspirit was nerfed because the handful of people who S2 ever might listen to that are not S2 employees or rabid brown nosers made an effort to get it nerfed. The reasoning being that it was used to save an ally from certain death with tornado --> shrunken.You had some arguements but they're not strong. I like this hero and I now know why stormspirit was nerfed (new hero).
Massive AoE damage?
He has 1 AoE spell, his ultimate. And as Viole said in Reddit, it's on a long cool-down.
He needs to do magic damage in order to tank a bit.
What happens if he gets silenced? No tanky
What happens if he gets stunned? No tanky
Whay happens if he runs out of mana? No tanky
What if he has loe Base Str and low Str gain? No tanky
Last edited by simena; 02-28-2012 at 02:59 PM.
We've taken a number of steps to reduce those problems while also making the item a little more difficult to get for a support hero.
Looks like a well designed hero actually. They tried making a hero with useful abilities that vaguely synergize but without making the hero all powerful by including subtle drawbacks with obvious counters. You can see this design philosophy with Grave Keeper and Draconis...but I think they over did it with the safeguards on them.
Hopefully this hero will actually be viable.
[EDIT] The discussion on Stormspirit would be such a moot one if S2 would just realize their initial folly and revert the item to it's original state of only working on yourself and enemies.
is this only me who think that this hero is not only OP but spammer like hell.. Combine him with artesia and grave and u got the ggame so easy!

Wader populations decline faster than ever21/
Netherlands, 20 May 2009 - More than half the populations of waders in Europe, West Asia and Africa are declining at an accelerating rate. There is a need for better protection of the key wetlands along their flyways, especially in Africa and the Middle East. This is the conclusion of the Wetlands International's Wader Atlas, the first comprehensive overview of key site networks for waders in Europe, West-Asia and Africa, launched in London today.Waders are relatively small waterbirds including species like lapwings, plovers, godwits, curlews and sandpipers. Many of them undertake long distance migrations from their Arctic breeding grounds to wintering areas as far away as Southern Africa. Some concentrate in huge numbers at just a few sites, making these critical wetlands for their survival.Incomplete network of protected areasThe European Union has established a comprehensive network of protected areas for waders in Europe under the Birds Directive. Outside the EU however, the protection and management of key sites is still far from adequate. A string of wetlands concentrated on the western coast of Africa, (Sahel zone along the Senegal and Niger rivers, around Lake Chad), and in East Africa in the Sudd, along the Rift Valley and eastern coast of Africa, is crucial for the survival of many migratory waders.Therefore, if EU investment in protecting waders is to be effective, these crucial sites must also be included in its conservation strategy. Wader Atlas author Simon Delany said: "Waders such as the Ruff are heavily protected in the EU; farmers receive thousands of Euros for nest protection. These same birds are for sale in the markets of Mopti, Mali for just 25 cents each! If just a part of the finance available in the EU for waterbird protection were to go to the areas where these same birds winter, a huge difference could be made".Pressure on wetlandsThe wetlands of the African west coast are under enormous pressures. The sparse water resources in the Sahelian zone are tapped by dams on the Niger or Senegal rivers, which have turned formerly shallow wetlands into permanently dry lands. Irrigation schemes for growing human population disrupt the water flow in wetlands such as the shrinking Lake Chad. Often wetlands themselves are converted to agricultural use, such as in the Tana River Delta in Kenya, which is threatened by conversion to sugar cane plantations.A similar story can be told for the Middle East. Many waders migrate from the Arctic andScandinavia to the coastal zones along the Persian Gulf. These coastal areas are now suffering from rapid development which threatens the habitat of the scarce and declining Broad billed Sandpiper, for example.Highlighting important wetlandsThe Wader Atlas highlights the most important wetlands to be protected for each wader population.It will thus provide decision makers across the Africa-Eurasian region with crucial information so that they can increase and better focus their efforts for wetland conservation. Better water management preserving the Sahelian wetlands benefits not only waders, but also local people.Indeed, involving local people in protection strategies for waders has been successful in many regions.Simon DelanySenior Technical officer Waterbird Conservation Wetlands InternationalTel. +31 (0)6 55 68 45 firstname.lastname@example.com KaatCommunication Manager Wetlands InternationalTel. +31 (0)6 5060 email@example.com to editors:1. The Wader Atlas will be launched at a JNCC event on the 20th of May 2009 at the Strand Palace Hotel, London at 5:00 pm (www.jncc.gov.uk/MEA-Event). Contact us if you wish to attend (email@example.com).2. Wetlands International is a global organisation that works to sustain and restore wetlands and their resources for people and biodiversity. Wetlands International and the International Wader Study Group (WSG) have drawn on their wide-ranging network of wader experts to help prepare this Atlas, being the final product of ten years of labour.3. The Wader Atlas (An Atlas of Wader Populations in Africa and Western Eurasia) identifies 876 key sites – such as lakes, coastal areas, floodplains - for 59 of the 90 wader species in those countries covered by the UN African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). Amongst these, the book identifies 68 sites at which more than five wader species occur in internationally important numbers (more than 1% of global population). There are 112 sites where more than 40,000 waders have been counted.4. This book is a result of a huge international effort involving literally thousands of coordinated expert observers in nearly 100 countries. It was funded by the governments of Belgium, the UK and The Netherlands, and a United Nations treaty, the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). Most of the work was undertaken by Wetlands International staff and members of the International Wader Study Group, a Specialist Group of Wetlands International, and these two organizations also contributedto the funding.5. Examples of the conservation value of the book:There is a well-recognised criterion by which the international importance of sites for waterbirds is judged, namely the 1% criterion under which any site which regularly holds 1% or more of a population of a waterbird species qualifies as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention on wetlands. The Wader Atlas reveals that the most important site for waders in Africa and western Eurasia on this basis is a site which has hitherto been poorly known and which remains unprotected. This site is Barr al Hikman on the coast in Oman, a vast and remote coastal bay where British and Dutch expeditions since the 1990s have recorded no fewer than 18 species in these internationally important numbers. One site under threat from drainage and agricultural intensification is the Tana River Delta on the coast of Kenya, where five species have been recorded in internationally important numbers. One of these, the White-fronted Plover is widespread in Africa and does not migrate much. Of the remaining four internationally important species at this site, all are long-distance migrants breeding far to the north and east in Central Asia (Lesser Sandplover) and in northern Russia (Marsh Sandpiper, Curlew Sandpiper and Little Stint).These migrants occur at the delta in large numbers during the northern winter, and also use it as a feeding site to refuel on flyways which extend further to the south after the breeding season, and as far north as arctic Russia during the breeding season. Damage to this one site, as well as affecting the resident birds, is thus likely to affect the survival of these species over a huge area stretching from Southern Africa, through the Middle East and Central Asia to Siberia.Species' chapters and high resolution photos of the book can be downloaded from: www.wetlands.org/waderatlas.

Reviews for this host's other properties
I found the property terleurstllend. I had a different expectation. There was an apartment offered and proved to be two rooms, the kitchen is lacking, which is in the basement and for common use. With shower and toilet There is also no possibility to sit outside. I thought that was a shame, I was hoping for a place with its own kitchen and something to sit outside. The caretakers speak poor english which makes it difficult to communicate.
de accommodatie vond ik terleurstllend. Ik had een andere verwachting. Er werd een appartement aangeboden en het bleken 2 kamers met een douche en toilet te zijn, de keuken ontbreekt, die is in de kelder en voor gezamelijk gebruik. Ook is er geen mogelijkheid om buiten te zitten. Dat vond ik erg jammer, ik had gehoopt op een eigen plek met keuken en iets om buiten te zitten. De huisbewaarders spreken slecht engels wat het lastig maakt te communiceren.
We enjoyed our stay at Tariks place a lot. The room was clean and neat, towels and linen were provided. There's a fully equiped kitchen and a common room where it's possible to prepare and eat your own food. The staff was very friendly and helpful even we arrived really late at night.
All in all fully recommendable!
There were only two tiny negative aspects:
- the address is very hard to find for taxi drivers even if it's only from Taksim square, because it's a small street. So make sure you have Tariks phone number with you. Call him and hand the phone over to the taxi driver so he knows where to go and you don't need to pay lots of money for just driving around and trying to find it ;)
- second thing was that it was a bit loud outside as there is a large street around the corner where there's a lot of traffic. So unfortunately it's almost not possible to keep the window open at night. But there's an air-condition anyway ;)
Guest house in Beyoglu was a good choice for staying in Istanbul. Tarik (the host) was very helpfull, we couldn't find the place on our own so he sent his friend to pick us up on Taksim square. The room was nicely decorated, clean and tidy, had everything we needed. Good value for the money. Downside of the location is very steep street up to the Taksim and unsafe looking neighborhood but the police station is very near the place. Overall, we were satisfied.
Very nice guesthouse in Beyoglu/Istanbul. Everything was well organized and Tarik was very kind and helpful. He gave me support and advices for the transfer from the airport to the guesthouse. The guesthouse has a simple but nice modern style. Everything is clean and in good state. The guesthouse was most frequented by younger persons, mostly students from abroad, backpackers or people like this so it's a friendly and unconventionell atmosphere there. The kitchen is always the center of social life in the guesthouse where you can talk with others and exchange experiences. The area of the guesthozuse isn't quite sophisticated. It's a part of the city where usally not the richest people of Istanbul living but it needs just a few minutes of walking to reach the Istiklal Caddesi in the center of Taksim. I wouldn't recommend the guesthouse for people who are senisitive of noise. Usually the acoustic level raises when the muezzin from the near mosque start to call the prayer when sunrise. With the begin of the daily rushhour and the school in the neighbourhood and their loud interval signal for the breaks the noise level raises more and more. All others will be quite happy there :-). I wouldn't recommend the guesthouse for travellers with luxury demands but anybody who is looking for place for sleeping and base to discover the town will have good time there.
We had a really good time in the apartment. It was clean, all things you need are avaible. In the street are good opportunities to get something to eat. You reach all the sight in a relavitely short time.
My friend and I enjoyed our stay in these suit rooms in Beyoglu in Istanbul very much. Both 'hosts' (during the night and during the day) were really lovely people!
The place is fine and comfortable. The onliest thing I want to give feedback about is that it was not really clean.
We were glad that the beds were ready in both rooms when we arrived at nighttime. And Tarik guiding the taxidriver through Istanbul to his place. That was a good service.
We also liked the area where we stayed, to see houses getting rebuilt in a beautiful way. We felt quite safe, also late in the evening.
It was all super.freundliches personal.nur the territory a little creepy ..
Es war alles super.freundliches personal.nur die gegend ein wenig gruselig..
Very nice people, the service is very good and the rooms are clean and nice.
The rooms in the rez-de-chausee are however unbelievably dark because you have to keep the blinds closed all day if you don't want people to stare into your room.
pleasant home, night of great seriousness ... the place is a clean comfortable 15 MIN WALK high street is very c bien.merci Wimdu and tarik!
accueil agreable,veilleur de nuit d un grand serieux...le lieu est tout confort propre a 15 MIN A PIED de grande rue ;c est tres bien.merci wimdu et tarik!!!
AMAZING place!
ITts in the heart of istanbul, really close to the main shopping street and bars/restaurants.
The room was super clean and compfortable.
But the best was Tarik.
When we arrived he took care of us and explained everything: "what to do" and "what we not have to do".
We had a great time there and we will reccomend this accomondation really really tho other travellers.
