Your quilt is beautiful. I love your designs - thank you, and Happy New YearReplyDelete
I'm always amazed at your work! And the 'tour' of the Baltimore exhibit...well...that's amazing as well! Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post. That Baltimore you are working on is truly going to be an heirloom quilt!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your raffle quilt when it is done.
Have a Happy New Year!
What a treat! It just makes you want to make your own. Do you do your hand quilting in a hoop or just on your lap?ReplyDelete
In response to Avon's question about how I do my quilting... I use a big floor frame - one of those PVC pipe types. I love it because 1) the surface is flat and parallel to the floor (perfect for stab stitchers!), 2) I have a 2 x 3.5 foot area that I can quilt in before having to move the quilt in the frame, 3) it is lightweight and fits through doors - and in the back of my Tahoe, 4) I can easily turn the frame to quilt in another direction, 5) because it's rectangular and not oval or round, there's no distorting of the quilt across a diagonal - so every single quilt I've ever made in it has come out of it flatter than a pancake. Now that's cool!ReplyDelete
What is your favorite way to baste for hand quilting? I remember watching you quilt your Rodeo quilt a long time ago, but I cannot for the life of me remember the basting...
Thank you again for all of the great designs and inspiration!
Maura asked what my favorite method of basting is. I love using Glue-Baste-It. It comes in two sizes - large and small - and I only like the small little bottles. The trick to glue-basting is to use the tiniest and fewest dots of glue that you can get away with - 2-3 spots will generally hold a piece in place unless it is very large. the spots should be only slightly larger than the period at the end of this sentence. If you make it larger, you will get hard spots or bleed-through dark spots on the top of your fabric. As I applique, I "pop" the glued spot loose so that there is not a dimple in the middle of the applique, where the fabric is held tight against the background it sits on.ReplyDelete
Best wishes -
It was a pleasure to see your quilts and home on The Quilt Show. I was particularly taken by the quilt that you have hanging behind the couch in your family room. Would you share the information on that pattern? It makes me smile...Thank you for all of the inspiration that I receive from seeing your quilts!ReplyDelete
In answer to Marge's question, the quilt she saw on The Quilt Show's "tour of Sue Garman's home" was an old block-of-the-month that I designed several years ago. It is called "All Around the Town." It is available from Quakertown Quilts (www.quakertownquilts.com - click on Blocks of the Month... then Susan Garman... then All Around the Town) and other local quilt shops. It's a fun quilt to make!ReplyDelete
For those who have not seen it yet, you can get a "tour" of my home by going to http://secure.smilebox.com/ecom/openTheBox?sendevent=4d6a49774d7a67354e44553d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link&playAgain=true. You'll have to cut and paste all of those letters and numbers to get there!

Hi, I'm new to your blog! I am loving your new design you are working on.. those swags are perfection! and the rest of it is delightful as well.. Oh how nice it is that there are people as talented as you who can design such wonderful quilts!ReplyDelete
Sue the Friends of Baltimore is so beautiful. I love your style and it is by far my favorite Baltimore quilt. Since I am a younger quilter and have only admired these on the computer, what type of backing do you use? Is it a print or subtle? Or does it matter? Are there particular recommendations in selecting a fabric? I am going to start the quilt with the BOM from quakertown quilts. Will you have a yahoo group?ReplyDelete
Thank you for all your wonderful quilts and pictures.
In response to Caroline's inquiry...ReplyDelete
-- what type of backing do I use? I chose to use a busy print -- only because I am quilting it by hand and using thread that matches whatever it is I am quilting. I did not want all of the color changes to be distracting, so I chose the busy print. If I were using ONLY white thread to quilt it, I would have used a white backing. Really - it's up to you, but I always take into consideration the color of the quilting thread that will be used.
-- Other considerations for backing fabric? If you are using a 100% poly batting, the color of the backing fabric may "bleed" through (visually) so you have to consider than when choosing a backing fabric.
-- IF you mean what type of background fabric (versus backing fabric that actually goes on the back of the quilt), it's really up to you what you like or don't like. I chose a sturdy, robust fabric that will stand up to the weight of the layers of applique. I also chose a white, versus a print, just because I wanted high contrast to the rich colors of the applique. If you want to soften the look a bit, choose a subtle print or an off-white background fabric. Choose what you really LIKE because you will be seeing a lot of it in this quilt!
-- Will I be starting a Yahoo group? I have thought about it, but it takes a lot of oversight to run such a group... (because I don't allow random postings - had one too many creepy, inappropriate postings show up!), and there are several other Baltimore/applique Yahoo groups online which offer lots of support to Baltimore fans.
Best wishes -
Well, Just finished placing my order for your Baltimore BOM with freezer paper! Brilliant!! Save me soooooo much work, what a great idea! I did go to Hancocks of P. as you suggested to order the Kona Solid, I chose snow. Can't wait to get started, there are so few really nice applique BOM's out there to choose from, and hardly any Baltimore Album BOMs, thank you for filling a need!ReplyDelete
One question I like the "Borrowed Roses Quilt" you are working on for the raffle, will that be a kit or BOM later on?
In response to Sue's question, Borrowed Roses will be a single pattern, not a block-of-the-month. I have already started working on it -- the basting of all of the blocks is done, and I have completed one block and one border unit. I'll post photos at the first of the month. This is such a fun quilt to make because the blocs are so big that it is easy to applique all of the pieces!ReplyDelete
Sue Garman
Sue, your Baltimore Album is just beautiful! I thought you might enjoy seeing how a fellow blogger is doing your "All Around Town" pattern, check out Teresa at fabrictherapy.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
She is just too funny.
Happy Stitching,
I really like the scallops you've designed for the guild quilt. And as for your Baltimore...I'm speechless! It's amazing! Your work is impeccable, and...I don't know...just amazing! :D You obviously have some serious patience! :)ReplyDelete

Nocturnal Enuresis
I had problem of bedwetting in childhood that became normal as I grew. Now I`m 30 years old. Yesterday night before sleeping I drank water & at 3.30am. I was having dream then I felt a little wet & I was surprised to see that I had passed urine but still I had to go to toilet to void fully. Is this a reason to worry? I have no local symptoms otherwise.
Bed wetting during sleep, also known as sleep enuresis, often has a variety of underlying causes. Sleep enuresis is quite common in children but begins to decrease in frequency once above the age of 5. Only about 1-2% of 18 year olds will have this problem and it becomes even less frequent in adulthood until urinary incontinence becomes a problem with aging (mostly in the over 65 year old population).
Most cases of sleep enuresis in adulthood are due to underlying medical problems and do not represent a problem with the urinary system per se, though urinary tract disorders can also lead to enuresis. These conditions include obstructive sleep apnea (repetitive airway closing in sleep), congestive heart failure, diabetes, urinary tract infections, nighttime seizures, depression, severe psychological stress, and dementia. Of course, excessive intake of fluids or substances that promote urination (i.e. diuretic medications, caffeine, and alcohol) can also lead nighttime bedwetting.
In your case, I suspect, based on the information you provided, that you may have taken in too much water before bedtime, leading to this episode of bedwetting. The fact that you had to fully void after this, suggests your bladder was quite full. I would watch to see if this happens again, particularly in the setting of not drinking prior to bedtime. If it does recur, then other aspects of your history and physical exam will be important in determining why you this is happening. The treatment of this problem depends heavily on the underlying cause, so trying to pin this down is key to solving you problem. Again, I suspect it may be related to excessive water intake before bedtime.
If you would like further information about sleep disorders or sleep itself, I recommend the American Academy of Sleep Medicine website. In addition to information about sleep medicine, the website also contains a list of accredited Sleep Centers and may help you to locate one nearest you, if needed. The website sleepeducation.com also can provide consumer-friendly information about sleep disorders. Good Luck!

Duwop's come out with a new product called Blushbooster. As the name suggests, it's a product that can give your favorite blush a boost or use it on it's own to give your cheeks a glow. When I first read about this, I wondered why I would even think about using a product like this along with another blush but when you try it, you understand. Blushbooster is aptly named, it's a great highlighter you can use a matte or cream blush. It just kicks it up a notch.
This product also has ingredients to help your skin, baked right in to it. It contains Jojoba oil to prevent prevent moisture loss, cucumber extract to calm the skin and reduce puffiness, pomegranate extract and Vitamins A and E for their nourishing antioxidant properties. Blushbooster's four shades give you a great glow all while helping to nourish your skin.

Christian News and Media Agency
2006-02-03 -- WDC Media News
Congress is considering legislation that would force the abortion drug RU-486 off the market. The drug has reportedly caused at least eight deaths since 2000. Under the bill, the drug would at the very least be withdrawn temporarily from the market so its effects could be reviewed by the U.S. comptroller general.
The measure, which is now being debated in committee in the House and Senate, comes after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) failed to take any action following the RU-486 deaths, including the highly publicized death of an 18-year-old California woman. Holly Patterson died of septic shock a week after she was given the drug at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
In addition to the eight confirmed deaths, the drug has caused more than 800 instances of adverse side effects, including heavy bleeding.
U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) argued that the FDA caved in to pressure during the Clinton Administration and prematurely approved RU-486. "What this bill asks is to withdraw the drug from the market and put it through the usual approval procedures to see if it passes muster," Bartlett was quoted by Family News in Focus.
Janet Morana of the pro-life group Priests for Life said that were RU-486 to go through the proper FDA channels, it would be quickly pulled from the market. "All the adverse effects that have been documented thus far need to be investigated and documented," she told family News in Focus. "And if any drug had caused eight deaths thus far, it wouldn't be on the market still."
Morana said that taking RU-486 is like ingesting poison, and the drug should definitely be pulled. The FDA has no immediate comment.

Expert Advice
When it comes to rain boots, the gold standard is simple rubber. This material is full waterproof by nature and extremely easy to clean. For colder temperatures, choose rubber rain boots lined with an insulating material, like fleece. Plus, you can always pull on a pair of thick wool socks to customize your level of warmth.
- No matter the material of your rain boot, three factors are critical: waterproofness, comfort and traction.
- Rubber or EVA outsoles provide superior traction on a variety of wet surfaces. Lugs and specialized tread patterns offer traction and grip on challenging terrain. Keep in mind, the thicker the midsole the farther your foot is from the ground, which is ideal when the temperatures are cold.
- Rain boots can be crafted in a variety of fabrics, including full-grain leather, which is exceptionally durable. Always consult product information for details on the level of moisture protection your boot provides.
- Soft, brushed inner liners and responsive foam padding ensure you stay comfortable during long hours on your feet. Plus, many women's rain boots come with extra features, like moisture-wicking technology and antimicrobial fabrication, keeping you dry and fresh-feeling on the move. Upper handles in the boot shaft allow for easy on-and-off.

Yale Back in ECAC Action
Related Links
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Yale men's hockey team begins the stretch run of the ECAC Hockey campaign by hosting Quinnipiac (11-7-4, 3-4-3 ECAC) and Princeton (4-9-4, 3-7-1) in a pair of 7 p.m. games this Friday and Saturday at the Whale. Both games can be seen live on yalebulldogs.com, Friday's game with the Bobcats airs live on WQUN Radio (AM-1220).
Quinnipiac leads the series with Yale 6-5-1 in a New Haven County rivalry that began in 2005-06. The Bulldogs swept last year and have won two straight at home. Five different players hit the net and Ryan Rondeau '11 stopped 30 of 31 shots as Yale beat Quinnipiac 6-1 before 3,957 at the TD Bank Sports Center in the last meeting last February. Denny Kearney '11 had two goals while Chad Ziegler, Kevin Limbert, Jimmy Martin '11 and Brian O'Neill tallied goals as the Elis outshot the Bobcats 42-31. Kenny Agostino had two assists on a night when his team scored two shorthanders.
The Elis won both meetings last winter and the teams skated to a 2-2 tie on opening night this season. Yale now lead the series 128-101-9 heading into the 249th contest. In October's Ivy Shootout at Thompson Arena, the Bulldogs, who outshot the Tigers 30-28, erased a 1-0 deficit and built a 2-1 lead. Five different Yale players notched points while Jeff Malcolm made 26 saves.
Yale rang in the New Year by ringing up nine goals, thanks in part to a four-goal outburst by Brian O'Neill (Yardley, Pa.), in a 9-3 win in the first-ever meeting with Bentley before 2,928 at Ingalls Rink on Jan. 1. The Bulldogs, who had a 37-19 advantage in shots, broke open a 3-3 contest with six straight goals. Four consecutive scores came from the stick of Yale's captain. Yale overcame Bentley's mini-comeback to shut down the Falcons (5-9-3) over the last 36 minutes. That meant keeping them off the scoreboard and allowing just 11 shots over the last two periods. Kenny Agostino (Flanders, NJ), who had a goal and three points, and Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich), who had four helpers, also had big days.
Quinnipiac, 4-1-2 over its last nine outings, is coming off a tie and a loss at Nebraska-Omaha last weekend. Jeremy Langlois leads the team with 12 goals and 20 points, while Eric Hartzell (2.08, .912) and Dan Clarke (2.05, .901) have handled most of the duties in net. The netminders have helped the Bobcats, led by 18th-year head coach Rand Pecknold, rank fourth in the country on the penalty kill and 10th (2.33) for scoring defense.
The Tigers, led by first-year head coach Bob Prier (SLU '99), are coming off a pair of 3-3 ties at the Mariucci Classic in Minnesota last weekend against Northeastern and Niagara. Sean Bonar (2.94, .899) has 13 of Princeton's 17 decisions while stopping 35 of 38 shots against Niagara. Jack Berger has a team-high seven goals and 13 points. The Tigers, like the Elis, are one of the least penalized teams in the country.
The Bulldogs dusted off the rust from a 22-day break between games to register a 6-4 exhibition victory over the Russian Red Stars before 3,319 at Ingalls Rink on Dec. 28. Kenny Agostino (Flanders, N.J.) scored twice while Brian O'Neill (Yardley, Pa.) had three assists and Andrew Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) handed out a pair in the Bulldogs' second straight win over the all-star team from the Russian professional league known as the MHL. Yale, which used a different goalie each period, outshot the Red Stars 40-34 and never trailed. Both squads scored a pair of power-play goals.
Yale ranks sixth in scoring offense (3.54) and 29th in defense (2.85) while its combined special teams rank No. 1 in Division I at 60.9 percent. The Bulldog penalty-kill is first (94.4), while only two teams have been penalized less than the Bulldogs. The Elis' power play unit is second (28.6) and trails only Harvard (32.2). In the polls, the Blue is 20th in the uscho.com Division I list. Yale received 15 votes for the USA Today/American Hockey Magazine Poll but did not crack its top 15.
Yale (8 points) is fourth in ECAC Hockey after playing six games. First-place Cornell has 13 points in eight games, Colgate, the hottest (6-0-1 in last 7) team in the conference, is second with 12 points after eight contests while Quinnipiac (9) is third.
Junior F Antoine Laganiere (Ile Cadieux, Que.) is the hottest Bulldog with 4-5-9 over his last five games. His six goals are second on the team. Laganiere, who leads the team with 44 shots taken, had a career-high four points (2-2) at Brown on Dec. 3, matching his best goal outing (at Princeton, 2009-10).
Junior Jeff Malcolm has started every game this season and has all seven wins. He had a shutout streak of three (Colgate, RPI, Union) games and 226:39 minutes (parts of 5 games) in November and was named ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week after stopping all 72 shots in wins at No. 8 Union and RPI on Nov. 11-12. The three straight SHOs tied the school record set by Ryan Rondeau '11 last winter. His scoreless streak fell short of the 240:53 by Rondeau. His career record is 13-9-1 with a 2.95 GAA and three shutouts. Malcolm has a 2.54 GAA (29th in Division I) with a .921 SP (34th) this year.
Junior F Andrew Miller (82 gp, 19-73-92) is one of college hockey's premier offensive catalysts. Not known for his goal scoring, Miller, who leads the team with 11 helpers and is ninth on the school's career assist list, is best at creating space, setting up teammates and winning draws. Miller, a 2010-11 first-team All-ECAC pick, was voted "best passer" by his teammates last season while he had 12-33-45. He was No. 4 in the nation with .97 assists per game (tops in ECAC). More impressive is that 22 of his 33 assists were primary ones. His team-high 33 helpers (2nd best at Yale and five behind Mark Kaufmann '93) were a sophomore school record while 45 points were second on the team. He probably had his best offensive weekend as a collegian on Feb. 25-26 when he hit the net three times against Colgate/Cornell combined. Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), was 12th in the nation with 1.29 points per contest and registered the most (34 as a freshman) points by a Yale rookie since Tom Walsh set the bar with 41 in 1984-85. The speedy forward was the 2008-09 USA Junior Player of the Year and 2007 Michigan High School Mr. Hockey. In 2009-10 he was second among conference rookies with one point per game, which also put him fourth in the country for newcomers. He ranked eighth in Division I that year with .85 assists per outing.
Yale's captain, Brian O'Neill (116 gp, 57-75-132), leads the squad with nine goals and 15 points. He is seventh on Yale's career points list and is 11th on the career goals list (2nd among active ECAC players). He was a 2010-11 first-team All-ECAC selection and has led the team in scoring the last two seasons. O'Neill had a career-high four goals (most by a Bulldog since 2003) this year against Bentley. His four tallies against the Falcons on Jan. 1, 2012, were on consecutive scores. That eclipsed his hat trick at Clarkson on Feb. 12, 2011. He ranked 15th nationally with 1.29 points per game last year. He began 2010-11 with a 3-2-5 weekend in the two wins including 2-1-3 and the GWG against Dartmouth on Oct. 30. The year before, he led the Elis with 29 assists and 45 points while ranking seventh in the country with 1.32 PPG. O'Neill (Yardley, Pa.) made the 2008-09 CHN and ECAC Hockey All-Rookie teams after going 12-14-26.
Junior Nick Maricic (Alta Loma, Calif.) saw his first action of the year at SHU (2 saves, 24 minutes) but has not made a start this season. Maricic owns a 2.89 career GAA and an .885 SP. Freshman Connor Wilson (Cary, NC) is looking for his first opportunity. He stopped 11 of 12 shots in one period of work against the exhibition against the Russian Red Stars on Dec. 28.
There are seven defensemen on the Yale roster: two seniors, a junior, a sophomore and three freshmen. They have combined to score six goals while allowing 37 in 13 games. Two of the newcomers, Tommy Fallen (Plymouth, Minn.) and Matt Killian (Basking Ridge, NJ) scored goals against SHU. Three of the seven have a depth of experience. Seniors Kevin Peel (Onoway, Alb.) and Nick Jaskowiak (Bloomington, Minn.) have been regulars since arriving in New Haven. Junior Colin Dueck (Calgary, Alb.) became a mainstay last winter and sophomore Gus Young (Dedham, Mass.) has seen action in every game this season.
Yale sophomore forward Kenny Agostino (Flanders, NJ), who came within a step of making the U.S. National Junior Team this winter, has five goals and 12 points this season in 11 games. Agostino, who missed the last three games before the break with an injury, has five goals over the last five games. His best game this year was 2-2-4 vs. UConn. Agostino became the first Yale newcomer in 30 years to record five points in one game on Jan. 2, 2011. He notched three goals and two assists against Holy Cross and became the school's first freshman to tally five points since former Olympian and NHL star Bob Brooke '83 established the school rookie record against Dartmouth in 1980. Yale's rookie of the year last winter after scoring 11 goals and 25 points, Agostino was the HCA National Rookie of the Month for January (8-4-12), the first Bulldog to receive that award. He was ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week on Jan. 23 (3 goals vs. Clarkson/SLU), becoming the only Bulldog to earn conference rookie honors in 2010-11. The former Delbarton School star had a goal and three assists before the holiday break, and 10 goals and 11 assists after. He ranked 11th nationally among rookies with .86 points per game.
Seniors Dan Otto (Lake Zurich, Ill.) and Josh Balch (Wilmette, Ill.) missed the last two games with injuries... Sophomore Brad Peltz (Mount Kisco, NY) and freshman Trent Ruffolo (Coral Springs, Fla.) scored their first regular season goals against Bentley. Ruffolo notched two points 10 seconds apart... There are four Bulldogs with more than 100 career games played: Brian O'Neill, Charles Brockett, Kevin Limbert and Kevin Peel.
Assistant coach Dan Muse is in his third season season under Keith Allain. He joined the Bulldog staff when C.J. Marottolo left to take the top job at Sacred Heart. Former University of New Hampshire star Eric Lind has been with Allain every season at Yale. There is one new face on the Yale bench this season, Dennis "Red" Gendron, who replaced Kyle Wallack as the Bulldogs' associate head coach. Gendron, an assistant at the University of Massachusetts the last six seasons and a former University of Maine coach from 1990 to 1993, helped the Black Bears win a 1993 NCAA Championship.
The Elis are on the road next weekend for the longest trip of the year at Clarkson and St. Lawrence.
The current Yale roster is comprised of leaders and scholars. Here are some examples.
22 were captains of hockey teams before coming to New Haven
13 captained another sports team
17 won a scholar-athlete award
14 graduated in top 10 percent of their senior class
The Yale players were surveyed about each other, and here are the results:

Most Unique Hobby: Brian O'Neill (model airplanes)
Best Sense of Humor: Charles Brockett (Sr, F)

The Yale roster includes players from 13 different states and three provinces. New York and Minnesota are represented by three players from each state while Alberta brings in four players.
The United States Hockey League contributed 10 players to the Bulldog roster. There are four from the British Columbia Hockey League, one from the Atlantic Junior Hockey League and another from the Eastern Junior Hockey League. Ten Yale student-athletes came directly from prep schools.
There are 23 former Yale hockey players skating professionally, including eight from the class of 2011. Here are the Bulldog pros, youngest to oldest:
Chris Cahill '11 (Cincinnati Cyclones, ECHL)
Denny Kearney '11 (Trenton Titans, ECHL)
Broc Little '11 (HockeyAllsvenskan, VIK Västerås HK, Sweden)
Jimmy Martin '11 (Florida Everblades, ECHL)
Brendon Mason '11 (Nybro Vikings, Sweden)
Mike Matczak '11 (Kalamazoo Wings, ECHL)
Ryan Rondeau '11 (Laredo Buck, CHL)
Ken Trentowski '11 (Brooklyn Aviators, FHL)
Sean Backman '10 (Bridgeport Sound Tigers, AHL)
Ryan Donald '10 (Florida Everblades, ECHL)
Mark Arcobello '10 (Oklahoma City Barons, AHL)
Billy Blase '10 (Neuilly-sur-Marne, France)
Tom Dignard (Belfast Giants, EIHL)
Alec Richards '09 (Rockford Icehogs, AHL)
Brennan Turner '09 (Dundee Stars, EIHL)
David Meckler '09 (Manchester Monarchs, AHL)
Blair Yaworski '08 (Utah Grizzlies, ECHL)
Jean-Francois Boucher (Saint-George COOL-FM, LNAH)
Matt Cohen '07 (Fife Flyers, EIHL)
Brad Mills '07 (New Jersey Devils, NHL)
Chris Higgins '05 (Vancouver Canucks, NHL)
Joe Callahan '05 (Hamilton Bulldogs, AHL)
Ray Giroux '98 (ChelyabinskTraktor, KL)
Three players on the current Yale roster have been drafted by NHL teams: Gus Young (Colorado, 7th, 184, 2009); Kenny Agostino (Pittsburgh, 5th, 140, 2010); Brad Peltz (Ottawa, 7th, 190, 2009).
It's not fair to compare recent Yale teams to the 2011-12 Bulldogs, who lost nine standout class of 2011 players. Eight of the graduates are skating professionally. The current squad isn't lacking talent, but nobody re-loads with equal force after losing nine seniors from a championship team. There are seven seniors seeing regular duty, though one of them seeks his first varsity letter. Four of the five sophomores and five of the six juniors have been in almost every game while five freshmen have been needed to fill the largest void.
The Yale men have left a mark on Division I over the last three seasons under Keith Allain '80, the Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. The combined statistics from 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 make the last three years the best in the history of the sport in New Haven and among the best in the nation over that span.
The Numbers From 2008-11 Accomplishments
Overall Record: 73-25-6 (.729) Top Winning Percentage in Division I
ECAC Record: 47-14-5 (.749) Two-time Division I Scoring Leader (2009-10, 2010-11)
Scoring: 405 goals, 104 games (3.89) Led nation in scoring defense 2010-11
All-Americans: 4 2 ECAC Hockey Tournament Championships (2009, 2011)
All-ECAC: 8 2 ECAC Hockey Regular Season Titles (2008-09, 2009-10)
All-Ivy League: 10 3 NCAA Tournament Appearances
Pay-per-view broadcasts of Yale hockey regular season home games are available on yalebulldogs.com. The Yale Athletic Department production is almost entirely student run: Sam Dorward '13 is the producer; Tom Stokes '12 and Patrick Ouziel '13 are the cameramen; Evan Ellis '12, the Voice of Yale Hockey, and Max Valenstein '13 are the broadcasters.
Yale and Fairfield hosted the 2009 and 2011 NCAA East Regional Tournaments in Bridgeport at Webster Bank's Arena at Harbor Yard, and the Bulldogs participated in both. The 2012 East Regional is slated for the Yard, which has hosted numerous NCAA events.
Yale hockey celebrated the re-dedication of Ingalls Rink (3,500 capacity) on Jan. 16, 2010. The rink built in 1958 has been modernized while adding 13,000 square feet of operational space. The additions include locker rooms and space for strength & conditioning (including skating treadmill), student-athlete study area, medical & training, officials, video, coaches, equipment, reception and more. There are new historical displays, concession stands and bathrooms for the building nicknamed the "Whale" because of its humpback-shaped roof.
The Whale (Ingalls Rink) has been a tough place for visitors in recent years. Yale, which enjoyed its first undefeated (15-0-1, only Division I team to do that) regular season at Ingalls last winter, finished 17-1-1 at home (2-2 this year). That is the most wins ever in New Haven for a Yale team (The Blue went unbeaten at New Haven in 1928-29). The Bulldogs are 42-11-3 over the last three-plus seasons at the Whale and 12-10-3 in home ECAC playoff games all time.
Ingalls Rink was sold out for the last 12 games of the 2010-11 regular season and three (Cornell, Colgate, BC) of the first five games this season. There are tickets available for the rest of the home campaign, but only G.A. and S.R.O. tickets remain for contests with Harvard and Dartmouth.
Here are some important things to know if you are covering the Bulldogs or just working a game at Ingalls. Interviews: Yale head coach Keith Allain and select players are available on a semi-regular basis each week at Ingalls Rink, typically Thursdays at 2:30 p.m. If you would like to attend these informal media sessions, please contact Sports Publicity Director Steve Conn. Post-game:interviews with Yale personnel are conducted in one of the youth locker rooms at ice level on the home side of the building. Let Steve Conn know who you would like to speak with immediately after the game. Media Gate List: Attendants stationed at the front and back of the rink have a media gate list to check off your name. Parking: The same list is used for PARKING in the garage (entrance off Prospect Street) behind the rink.

|Crockpot Ropa Vieja - Latin Style Beef
Crockpot Ropa Vieja - Latin Style BeefA Latin-styled braised beef, ropa vieja literally translates to "old clothes" earning that name because the meat is so tender that it literally shreds into what might look like a pile of rags!
The original recipe for this is from the January 2009 Good Housekeeping magazine, and called for 3-1/2 pounds of flank steak. I had just under 2 pounds of some flat iron steaks in my freezer that I needed to use up, so I substituted those and adjusted some of the ingredients. Flat iron is a cut of chuck so I thought it might benefit from the slow cooking, and it certainly did.
Thanks to the jalapenos, there is a good healthy kick to this dish that sort of jolts awake the senses, but not so much that you can't taste the food through the burn. To me it's just right, but if you don't like spicy, you would want to omit those. The blend of veggies is perfect together and the meat is so tender and delicious - and the best part is that the slow cooker does all the work! Even hubs who is no veggie eater kept an open mind and ate this dish only leaving behind a few red peppers and jalapeno slices.
I served this dish with both flour and corn tortillas - I think I liked the flour tortillas best. Just warm in batches of 4 to 6 tortillas placed between 2 damp paper towels and microwaved for 30 to 45 seconds. Wrap in a towel to keep warm until time to serve.
Be warned - this is a sloppy dish. You might find yourself with drippings on your face, and running down your arm and have an uncontrollable desire to run your filled tortillas through the juices to sop up even more. My kinda sloppy.

Zemeckis, of course, was not alone. In fact, it turns out, he was merely one in a sea of statistics that all point to the undeniable fact that teens and young adults are the prime targets of addictive substances.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, young adults ages 18-25 are the biggest abusers of prescription opioids (as well as other substances). What all this means is that there is a sizable population of those in their late teens and 20s that have already been through the cycle of abuse, addiction and detox — and who are all looking to start over.
It is for this reason that Zemeckis, now 27, founded The Grounds, a transitional recovery program for young men between the ages of 18 and 30. Unlike a typical sober-living environment, The Grounds, which opened in May, is focused on a curriculum of personal mentoring and discipline, providing an environment designed to help members acquire life skills and self esteem.
"What we're focused on is these guys' integration back into a real-world setting," Zemeckis said. "The goal is to transition them to independence. We take a unique approach that's almost unheard of in the recovery industry in California."
Zemeckis and program director Cannon Kristofferson run their program out of an elegant home on Mount Soledad. Under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, six unrelated adults can share a single residence, making The Grounds, which is licensed, insured and operating at a six-person maximum, a legal facility. That doesn't mean, of course, that neighbors don't have their concerns. But Zemeckis assures that those he accepts as members are carefully vetted and are held to the highest behavioral standards (they are not allowed to smoke cigarettes out front of the house, and they're not permitted to talk about addiction or "war stories" outside of the home or within earshot of neighbors).
"We do thorough interviews, and these are not people that are coming out of the penal system," Zemeckis said. "Because this is not the type of facility that [personal health] insurance typically covers, most of these guys are coming from middle- to upper-class families, and they've experienced some kind of failure to launch. Many of them have simply grown up in a way that they didn't have to be held responsible, so we kind of feel like their parents, teaching them simple things like cooking and how to do laundry."
Members must go through a 30-day minimum primary treatment program before coming to The Grounds. For the duration of their stay — which generally runs three to six months — members must undergo therapy off site and must either attend school or work part time. During their time in the house, they learn basic life skills, like how to cook, clean and how to deal with social situations they might encounter with a roommate or coworker.
Zemeckis and Kristofferson keep members on a tight schedule. Morning meditation starts promptly at 7:30 a.m., and members must learn how to schedule chores, work, school and recreation into their day.
In addition to learning how to function in society, Zemeckis and Kristofferson hope to impart some sense of public service, as well. They are getting members involved in projects like helping neighbors with landscaping and offering to hang outside lights during the holiday season. The hope, Zemeckis said, is that The Grounds and its members will start to be seen as assets, rather than a neighborhood burden.
"We have gone door to door, taking the approach of being transparent from the start," he said. "Unfortunately, there are those places that don't do good work and aren't transparent, but we're trying to dispel the misconceptions those places have built. We want neighbors to be stoked we're here. We can make a huge impact on the community."
As for what happens when members make it through The Grounds' program, Zemeckis and Kristofferson said they see their guys through to the end — and beyond. There is an exit plan for each member to integrate back into society, but more than that, Zemeckis and Kristofferson track their progress and hope that former members can come back and act as mentors to newer members.
"We're not done with them when they leave," Kristofferson said. "We're trying to plant a seed that shows them they have a choice. All they've known is getting loaded. We're showing them different avenues, and that there's another way."

While the practice of search engine optimization (SEO) is constantly evolving, one thing remains unchanged: clients always want to rank for a priority list of marquee, highly competitive terms. That's understandable. What is problematic is that they usually base their conclusions around how successful their SEO program is by how well they rank for those highly competitive terms.
While it should be the goal of any website to rank highly for competitive terms, the real gauge of targeted SEO success is overall/total search traffic. Some would argue success is determined by conversions and revenue, but many of the factors that contribute to conversions fall outside the scope of SEO (messaging, competitive pricing, page design, and layout, etc.).
One interesting thing that I have seen working with enterprise companies, usually the lion's share of search traffic comes from "long tail" traffic and not from "fat head" keywords. This is true even when the company ranks well for the "fat head" terms. Therefore, I thought it would be valuable to briefly define what long tail traffic is, explain why it is so important, and detail a couple techniques that may help you increase your long tail traffic.
What is Long Tail Search Traffic?
Rather than beat a dead horse, let me quote Ian Lurie, who offers a good, succinct definition of long tail search traffic:
"Specific, niche search phrases, usually more than 2 words in length, that offer a low competition, low search volume and high searcher intent."
Lurie's article goes into a lot of detail about what the long tail is.
Why is Long Tail Search Traffic so Important
My favorite story that illustrates the concept is about one of the sub-brands of a former clients. This client sold software. They had a well-recognized name for their software that was different than their company name (for the purposes of this article, we'll call it Dive Bomber Software).
This Dive Bomber software was one of many different software products they produced. So in evaluating which software titles were receiving the most traffic and should be prioritized within the context of our campaign, we analyzed the total monthly traffic generated by each of the software titles.
The phrase "Dive Bomber software" only generated about 300 users a month. Not very impressive compared to other titles. However, when we analyzed the long tail permutations of Dive Bomber software, (e.g., "Dive Bomber software version 1.3"), we found that there were more than 20,000 related searches a month! That obviously changed our perspective on how important Dive Bomber software was.
The same trend is evident when analyzing the traffic patterns of our other enterprise clients, many of whom have significant rankings for highly competitive words. Even with the advent of instant search, auto-fill, spell correction, and other mechanisms that had an effect on reducing the number of long tail searches, the majority of keyword traffic for most of my clients (for both brand and non-brand related searches) are based on long tail permutations of their targeted keywords. This is why targeting long tail traffic is so important.
So with that understanding, let's discuss some SEO practices that can effectively help target the long tail.
1. Understand the Keyword Landscape
Be aware of the common long tail permutations. Understanding the most popular permutations of your competitive keywords, as well as common patterns people use, helps you to optimize around those keywords and patterns.
Using your own analytics data, PPC data, internal search data, competitive intelligence and tools like Google AdWords Keyword Tool and Wordtracker to define your keyword landscape is a good first step. Understanding patterns can be important.
For example, if you sell T-Shirts and you see that there is some search traffic around "red t shirts", it stands to reason that you would also optimize around all of the other colors that you sell. It may warrant creating a page about "Red T Shirts" if you have the inventory to support that kind of a page.
Alternatively, you may find that just adding the different color names to your high ranking page about T-shirts does the trick. In many cases, adding long tail keyword permutations to body copy of a page that ranks highly for a fat head term can produce significant results. It just depends on how competitive the long tail permutations are.
2. Create Meaningful, Descriptive Page Titles
I have never been a fan of page titles that are limited to 65 characters in length. While it's true that only the first 65 characters will be displayed in search results, it is equally true that keywords found after the 65th character will be recognized and counted in the ranking algorithms of major search engines.
Therefore, if I place less important words (long tail permutations for example) after the 65th character with the understanding that I need to capture the users attention in those first 65 characters, I am able to target more keyword permutations as well as give the search engines more information about what the page is really about.
As long as the page titles read well and convey appropriate and relevant information, they are useful for both users and engines. I typically make my page titles about 8 to 13 words, ensure that they read intelligently and rarely ever use the same word more than once. Using this method, I have never been flagged in Google Webmaster Tools for having too long of a title (nor I have been flagged for having too short of a title).
Here are some more tips on how to write title tags.
3. Infuse Your Content & Internal Links With Keyword Variations
Whatever long tail keyword permutations you want to target need to exist in the content of the page that you want ranked for those permutations. Additionally, it's wise to vary the internal link text that points to any given page.
Including a variety of internal site links with different long tail keywords pointing to the page that targets those keywords is good practice. They should be linked from other pages on your site that are relevant to those specific long tail keywords.
Keep in mind that only the link text from the first link found in source code between any two pages is counted in Google's algorithm. Any pages that are linked to from your global navigation template won't benefit from these variations found in content because the global navigation links will usually be found first in the source code. It may still be worth doing however from a user experience perspective.
4. Leverage User Generated Content
Find creative ways to infuse your pages with user-generated content (comments, reviews, etc.). This type of content naturally targets long tail keyword permutations. Users typically will include many long tail variations as they make relevant comments about your page content.
User-generated content can be an amazing source of long tail keywords including model numbers, color variations, specific applications, or problem issues. And it helps to distinguish your content and makes it more valuable to users and engines.
These are some of the tactics that can help you successfully target long tail traffic. Hopefully they provide you with some actionable recommendations that will help you increase the amount of total targeted, organic search traffic to your projects.
Make sure that you are measuring both the amount of traffic and the number of keywords referring that traffic and that you are using those metrics as a barometer for your SEO health.

Rest in peace, John Silber
Posted: September 28th, 2012 under boston university.
John Silber. BU president 1971-1996. Highest paid university president in the nation, doubled Harvard's. Determined, ambitious, hopeful. Attracted and recruited Nobel Laureates Elie Wiesel, Derek Walcott, Saul Bellow and US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky. Endowment from $18 million to $430 million. Balanced budget. Created BU's innovative partnership with Chelsea public schools. Founded BU Academy. Tripled BU's property holdings. Tsai Performance Center, Huntington Theatre, Photonics Center, Metcalf Center for Science, SMG building. Family man. Loyal, dependable, committed. Socratic, academic, forever on quest for knowledge. Honest, assertive, uncensored. Author Tom Wolfe said of him: "There aren't many left who say what they mean, and mean what they say." Controversial, controversial, controversial. Creator of BU's super strict guest policies, lasted until 2007. Chief architect of MCAS exams. Unyielding, outspoken, opinionated. Often called an academic bully. "Grate on their sensitivity? I want to grate on their minds," he said of his teacher methodology. "What you call provocative, I call educative." Short-tempered. Blunt, testy, irritable. Love him or hate him, John Silber arguably–or undoubtedly–did more for BU than any other figure. He laid the foundation for BU's growth and is probably a reason why BU's students rank #3 for happiest in the nation today. May he rest in peace and may his legacy continue. (But whatever you do, just remember that PSY, of "Gangnam Style" fame, went to BU a year *after* Silber's presidency.)

If anyone has any ideas for an opening business please help, it would be much appreciated.
Possibly you?
Honestly, I will be thoroughly surprised if your business fails.

I have an idea.
Ice Cream stores.
Who doesn't like Ice Cream?
Start a Jets fan site.
Open a series of salons for females called Wax 'n Lick.
in all honesty if you are looking for business ideas on a jets fan site, you probably should reconsider
A strip club called Christofur's...
One side is 'fur' the other side is 'no fur'
So for the shaved clam lovers and bearded clam lovers, we got it all!
I really need to start this one day...
A male jets fan strip club with all the hot members
efusjon energy club
I think you can selling craigslist account or classifieds.If you want to do it.I can give a job.
What you need to do is think about things that seem inefficient in your day to day life and come up with creative solutions to them. The answers will come easily if you always think that way.
For instance, think about a simple hot dog meal. It's kind of a pain in the ass to truck all the condiments and sides to the picnic table for dinner for a simple hot dog, right? So invent a hot dog that already has the condiments and side salads inside it. That will sell like hotcakes. Get r done.

Tracy Morgan is in critical condition in hospital but was more responsive a day after he was badly hurt in a deadly crash.
The Saturday Night Live star was injured when a tractor-trailer rear-ended the limousine bus he was riding in early on Saturday with four other passengers.
Fellow comedian James McNair was killed in the wreck.
Two other comics - Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton - were also in hospital with severe injuries, while a fifth passenger, Morgan's assistant, Jeff Millea, was treated for minor injuries and released, police and hospital officials said.
Morgan's spokesman, Lewis Kay, said the 45-year-old performer suffered several injuries, including a broken leg, a broken nose and several broken ribs and had undergone surgery on his injured leg.
"While Tracy remains in critical condition, he has been more responsive today, which is an incredibly encouraging sign," Kay, said in a statement.
"We expect him to remain in the hospital for several weeks. His family is tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans."
The truck driver, Kevin Roper, 35, of Jonesboro, Georgia, turned himself in to authorities and was charged with death by auto and four counts of assault by auto, a Middlesex County Corrections official said.
He was released from jail on Sunday after posting $50,000 bail, the official said. He is expected to face arraignment in New Jersey early this week.
The limo driver, Tyrone Gale, said on Facebook there was nothing he could do to prevent the crash.
"I can only say feeling helpless on the highway was very hard to take," he wrote. "There was nothing I could do but scream at times."
McNair, 62, known by his stage name Jimmy Mack, of Peekskill, New York, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to New Jersey State Police.
Nobody but the four other passengers from the limo bus were taken to the hospital, authorities said.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc said on Saturday one of its trucks was the tractor-trailer involved in the collision, which is under investigation by police and the National Transportation Safety Board.
"We are working quickly to understand what happened and are cooperating fully with law enforcement to aid their investigation," said Bill Simon, chief executive of Walmart U.S.
Morgan, a native New Yorker known for his comedic commentary on racial stereotypes, left the SNL cast in 2003 after seven years on the show and went on to play a parodied version of himself as the character named Tracy Jordan on 30 Rock for seven seasons.
He earned an Emmy nomination as outstanding supporting actor for his role on the show, which starred Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, in 2009, the same year his book, "I Am the New Black," was published.
Morgan has three sons by his previous wife, Sabina Morgan, and is engaged to Megan Wollover, with whom he had a daughter in 2013.
Sabina Morgan told the New York Daily News she and Morgan's sons were shaken by the accident.
"It's like I'm in a nightmare," she said.
Word of the crash prompted an outpouring of sentiment on social media.
"Get better fast ... You have most positive thoughts," tweeted actor and director Henry Winkler.

The Crazy Fish Allure is a nicely detailed little lure, which resembles an insect or aquatic nymph. With two long appendages at the rear, plus legs and fins on the body, this lure can be given lifelike movement with subtle taps and twitches. The Allure works really well on a jig head, flex head, drop shot or split shot rig (see rigging examples above). Scented for added attraction, it's a great choice for tempting perch, zander, trout and LRF species. 8pcs per pack.

YORK, Pa. – The York College softball squad dropped both game of a doubleheader to visiting Frostburg St. in Capital Athletic Conference action Wednesday in York. The Spartans fell 5-2 in the first game before losing 1-0 in eight innings in the latter tilt. For the season, York now stands at 5-11 (2-2 CAC) while the Bobcats improve to 12-10 (4-0 CAC).
In the first contest of the afternoon, the Bobcats tallied three of their five runs in the top of the first inning. Loading the bases with no one out, designated player Amanda Hennessee singled through the middle to plate the visitor's first two runs. Hennessee, who had advanced to second on the throw from her single and then to third on a Megan Butzner base hit, then came home on a Shari Beavers single to left. Up 3-0 after one, the Bobcats would not relinquish the lead throughout the rest of the tilt.
York did cut into the Frostburg lead with a run in the bottom of the frame courtesy of a Brittany Therres double to left center. With two outs, Erin O'Leary knocked a single up the middle allowing Therres to step to the plate. The Spartan hurler's R.B.I. cut the Bobcat lead to 3-1 after one.
In the bottom of the third, York threatened with a trio of hits. Cory Urkuski led off the Spartans' half with a single and, with one out, was pushed to second on a Brittany Schlorff single to left. After York's second out of the inning, Therres looked to help herself once more. The senior came through with a baseknock to right, however, a strong throw from Bobcat rightfielder Emilee Ray caught Urkuski at the plate for the final out of the third.
Frostburg added a pair of insurance tallies, one in the fifth and one in the seventh, before the Green and White came up in the bottom of the seventh. York did scratch across a run in the seventh, as Schlorff notched a R.B.I. single to plate Christina Andrulat with two outs. However, the Spartans were unable to cut into the Bobcat lead any further as Frostburg tucked away the 5-2 game one victory.
Lauren Scrivener recorded the win in the circle for the Bobcats as she tossed a complete game to improve to 3-4. Therres took the loss to move to 4-5.
Game number two needed an extra inning to decide the victor as the scoreboard registered zeros throughout the first seven innings of play.
In the top of the eighth, the Bobcats tallied the only run of the contest. With the international tiebreaker placing Frostburg's Taylor Vandegrift on second, she moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Ray. Caitlin Lovend followed that sacrifice with one of her own as she registered a sacrifice fly to left field, plating Vandegrift for what would prove to be the game-winning run.
In the top of the seventh, the Bobcats threatened to notch the go-ahead run with runners on second and third with two outs. However, York's Urkuski registered a strike out from the circle as to keep the score level at 0-0.
Jordan Wright recorded the victory for the Bobcats as she hurled eight strong innings for the visitors. Wright only allowed three Spartan hits as she improved her season mark to 8-1. Urkuski, who hurled four innings in relief of Therres, takes the loss and falls to 0-2.
The Spartans are back in action on Friday, March 30, as they travel to Frederick, Md. to take on Hood College in a CAC doubleheader. First pitch for game one is slated for 3:00 pm.

Heated dock is not just for cold weather
Staff writer
Jeff Springer thought the heated fishing dock would help him catch some fish.
"It's spawning time; they like to congregate around this area," the Florence resident said. "But they weren't biting today. It's horrible weather for fishing. The wind was pretty bad, but I gave it a shot anyway."
Springer did catch a couple fish on Saturday, but not as many as he usually does on his weekend excursions to Marion County Park and Lake. He, along with other fishermen along the lakeshore, contributed their lack of success to unseasonably cool weather.
"You have to have the right conditions or else the fish will just stay right there in the water," he said.
He said Saturday's conditions were warm enough for the fishermen, but not for the fish.
George Turnbell said he believed more people would have been utilizing the heated fishing dock if the weather had been cooler and the crappies were interested in what was on the other end of their poles.
Lake Superintendent Steve Hudson agreed, saying that in the past few weeks he's seen people get up and leave because it was too crowded in the dock to fish.
Even though there was no real reason to be on the heated fishing dock, Joshua Crayton enjoyed fishing from the porch outside, because that's the area where he finds a lot of the fish congregate.
"I always had good luck inside the dock, so I'm hoping it's going to be the same out here," he said as he settled himself on a chair on the porch. "It's only a couple of feet. It shouldn't make that much of a difference."
Other fisherman, like Ben Tyson, didn't care about whether they were on the fishing dock or not. Tyler said he tried fishing from there a couple months ago when it was colder, but said it wasn't the same and left after only moments of being there.
"Part of the fun is getting away from people," he said. "You can't think when you fish if there's too much racket going on around you."
Tyler believes more people needed to experience the sport from a boat.
"It's just different when you're in the middle of the lake," he said. "It's peaceful. I love it. I get to come out here with my sons and just enjoy the afternoon. It gives us a chance to talk about stuff — everything from girls to school and their hopes for the future. You wouldn't necessarily get to do that in front of a whole bunch of people."
The fishing dock is open to the public 24 hours per day.

Jolt Awards: Mobile Development Tools, March 04, 2014 The best tools for the nuts-and-bolts of building mobile apps.
Jolt Productivity Award: Titanium Studio
If you have experience with Eclipse, JavaScript, XML, CSS, and the Model-View-Controller (MVC) Web frameworks, Titanium Studio allows you to easily take advantage of your existing skills to develop mobile applications for different platforms from a single code base.
You can target mobile Web, Android, Blackberry, iOS and Tizen. (Windows Phone and Windows 8 aren't included as target platforms at present.) The project structure makes it easy for you to organize the assets that are specific to each different target platform. Titanium Studio provides seamless integration between its Alloy MVC framework and the Eclipse-based IDE, with good support for the mobile development lifecycle.
Alloy has an interesting focus on code-reuse through the use of Alloy widgets, which allow you to create components and reuse them across multiple apps. The Alloy MVC framework is built on Node.js with support for both Backbone.js and Underscore.js; therefore, any previous experience with these popular JavaScript platforms will reduce the learning curve for Alloy.
As with any other MVC framework, Alloy enables the separation of the user interface, business logic, and data model for the apps. The ability to run and debug your mobile apps in a browser before you deploy to your mobile devices increases your productivity, especially with apps that are data-oriented and don't require much interaction with the device's specific features.
If you have to develop data-oriented or cloud-oriented mobile apps that don't need to take full advantage of the specific capabilities of each platform, Titanium Studio provides all the necessary tools to be productive when creating these kinds of mobile apps with JavaScript as the main language.

"The Commitments" (CONTENT RATING TBD) (HDTV)
MELANIE MUST MAKE A DECISION � Melanie's (Tia Mowry) relationship with Jerome (guest star Mehcad Brooks) begins to heat up, but shepulls back, believing she is not ready for a commitment. When Derwin's (Pooch Hall) new girlfriend Cheyenne (guest star Megalyn Echinkunwoke) tells him her condo is being remodeled, he invites her to movie in with him. Later, when Cheyenne and Derwin run into Melanie and Jerone, Cheyenne tells Melanie that she's moved into Derwin's place. Melanie reacts by getting a drastic new hairstyle and deciding it's time to commit to Jerone, but finds him with another woman. Meanwhile, Jason (Coby Bell) is distraught when Malik (Hosea Chanchez) tells him about a rumor that Jason will be benched for the next game. Jason and Kelly (Brittany Daniel) work together to find a solution to his performance on the field. Wendy Raquel Robinson also stars. Lenny Garner directed the episode written by Julie Bean (#40596-037).

Is that the bracket bolt that came with it? If so, looks way too long and a good clothing-snagger. Even On-One's £2.50 Phaart lights had better looking mounts.
Run times are very good, so a reasonable alternative to the Moon Shield and similar lights.
There's nothing truly innovative about the Niterider Solas rear light - it has plenty in common with other modern tail-lights, but it does its job well and is carefully thought out.
The Solas is a modest sized light in the Smart 1/2w mould - you've probably seen a million of them by now. Translucent red casing for 180 degree visibility, vertical clip (nicely curved in on itself with a retaining noggin for added security) and a clear plastic circle over the LED. Unlike some others, the Solas just has the one LED which pumps out a healthy 2W of power.
The two flashing modes are pretty eye-watering, although not as manic as some, so they should cut through the urban jungle very nicely. Where the Solas really scores though is by having a low power steady mode for group riding. While that won't make you visible from several miles away, it's enough to keep you safe on country roads and if you're on a long night ride, say the Exmouth Exodus or a long audax, it's not going to make your fellow riders feel like they're riding behind a mobile disco. That might seem like a minor thing, but to some people these things do matter and I can't think of another high power light that offers this.
The li-ion battery charges via a micro USB cable which plugs in underneath a honking great rubber plug at the base of the unit. Niterider only claim that the light is 'water resistant' but it passed the backyard hose test and I've not had any problems since.
Run-times are pretty good, up to 36hrs on the low setting although I suspect most people will just opt for the fast flash, which goes on for 18hrs. There isn't a runtime indicator although you'd have to be pretty sloppy to run it down so far that there isn't even enough juice for a low power trip home.
The mounting bracket is very basic, just the usual plastic clamp and clip arrangement, no fancy silicone straps here. I've had it clipped to the light loop on my Carradice and the long clip with a retaining noggin is very secure. I'd have no concerns about it jumping off mid-ride.
At an RPP 1p short of £40 it's not cheap so it's a question of how much you value the versatility it offers. I really liked it, but I'd want a hefty discount before I actually bought one.
Versatile rear light for long audaxes, urban commuting and group rides.

Make and model: Niterider Solas rear light
Size tested: n/a
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"The Solas 2 Watt Tail Light is brand new for 2012/13 and features a powerful 2 watt LED, 4 modes (2 flash/2 steady) and is USB rechargeable. We've implemented what we call 'Group Ride Mode' for cyclists who need to still want to stay visible and safer but not annoy others in the pack."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
2 watt LED
Micro-USB chargeable
Li-ion battery
Solid plastic body feels reassuringly weighty and robust.
Nice spread of light (180 degree) thanks to clear casing. Well thought out modes.
Feels a little hefty, but really - who cares?
There's no getting away from the fact that this is a pretty pricey rear light although it's much cheaper than the willy-waving likes of the L&M 180.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Very good.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Nice modes - especially the 36hr group ride mode. That's going to be enough to get you round a long audax without any worries.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
A bit pricey.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.
Would you consider buying the product? Maybe, but not at full RRP.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes.
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Nice little light that won't hypnotise your riding chums.

'I really liked it, but I'd want a hefty discount before I actually bought one.' - Is it within the remit of reviewing a product to make such a rash declaration? Surely just lop off half a star because of price & value? How are independent bike dealers ever going to thrive when someone reviewing a product is promoting a 'discount it or else' mentality? Stupid.
Same as Dr Lex - if that is the mount bolt supplied with the light, it looks like it would fit my gutter downpipe.....

Why is it stupid to give readers a bit more info and context? Is it a good light:- yes. Would I spend £40 on one:- probably not. Note the 'value for money' score - if the light had been cheaper that would have been higher. If I was spending my own money I'd probably opt for either the RSP Silicone that I reviewed a few weeks ago (rrp £20, £11.95 if you look around) or the Smart R2 (rrp £25.49, currently £10 at Planet-X). Next to those the Solas looks expensive.
The bolt does look long but I have the bracket on my bike (that's not it in the picture btw) with a rubber shim and there's about 2/3cm of spare thread showing. Hardly enough to get excited about.
i bought this light for £30 which is much more reasonable. The lights is bright and has a good selection of flashing mode. The bad points are
1.) The rubber USB port bung lets water in and so needs tape putting over it or vaseline to repel the water.
2.) The battery is a pathetic 700mahrs and gives a run time of 4.5 hours on full. This is pathetic. My blacknurn mars 4.0 gives about 40 hours on full using 2 AAA batteries. Why is it that all powerfull rears lights have pathetic batteries. Why not use standard AA batteries or at least put a battery in thats man enough for the power of the light. If this light used 3 AA 2500mahr rechargables batteries it would have an amazing run time even on full it would last about 16 hrs. This would be much better. The bracket also appears to be a custom bracket and unique to niterider. If it breaks what then, ya nackered.
