Undeterred by a complete and total absence of feedback I am following up on my proposal that we try to set up a joint blog to whom all the forum members interested in participating would contribute. I think a good way to begin to try to move this along is by collecting pledges.
I'm sure you know about how the Free State Project is collecting pledges, that is they have people promise they will relocate to New Hampshire as soon as 20,000 other people have promised to do the same. So this thread is for collecting pledges from people that they shall contribute to the Mises Community Blog once 14 other people have pledged the same.
OK here are the rules I am proposing and that will be in place until somebody suggests something better:
— The Mises Community Blog will be set up when at least 15 people have promised to contribute to it. Obviously the blog would be open to taking on additional writers who were not original pledges, but there is no sense in launching the blog if there is not enough initial backing for it. (I actually think a significantly fewer number of committed authors would be enough, but feel it is wise to make allowance for possible attrition.)
— If you have pledged to participate, but the number of 15 pledges was not reached then you are not required to do anything, since the blog will not be set up anyway and the MCB project will be over.
— There is a 45 day limit on the pledges collection. The 15 pledges have to be collected in 45 days or the MCB project is over, as it is unrealistic to expect of people to maintain a promise to contribute to the MCB at its startup indefinitely.
— By pledging the pledges promise to write one blog post for the joint blog in each 15-day period for the first 6 such periods of the blog's existence. In other words each participant will in the first three months of the blog's existence publish at least one post every two weeks. This means that by pledging all that a forum member promises to do is write a measly 6 blog posts, jet the joint blog is guaranteed at least 90 posts in as many days.
— 'Mises Community Blog' is a provisional name, which may be easily changed if a few pledges state they do not like it and come up with something better.
— The website will clearly and visibly state that each participant's positions are their own and are not necessarily shared by any of the other participants.
I encourage people to pledge and to take part. By pledging all you are promising to do is write 6 blog posts and even then only if a few other number of things come together. If 14 other people do not sign up you are not obligated to do anything. If the 14 other people do not sign up within 45 days from now you are again not obligated to do anything. You are only required to contribute to the blog for 90 days. Once the blog is 90 days old, you are no longer required by your pledge to continue blogging (though we hope you do). It isn't a big deal really, it's a small thing. You should do it.
Good reasons to pledge:
Blogging is good for you. Blogging will improve your writing. It will force you to think about things you are interested in more thoroughly and seriously. Going on public record about issues online will improve your state of mind and make you far less irritable in real life. Once you have penned a carefully considered and stylishly written 2000-word tearing down of the welfare state and published it for all the world to see, who gives a crap anymore if your stupid cousin lets slip something that is pro-Obama? You are now a public philosopher who makes addresses to the whole world, and getting into an argument with your family is now a complete and utter waste of your time and is therefore beneath you.
Project MCB is a good thing. Maybe you don't care about blogging yourself, but you would love for this or that forum member to start or re-start blogging so that you may read his stuff? Pledge to MCB and it will serve as an encouragement for the people you would like to read to sign up themselves. Do your tiny bit to make sure MCB project takes off and you'll have another vibrant libertarian blog for your bookmarks. This one actually updated by the people you know from your favorite online discussion forum.
Multiple-author blogs are the best kind of blogs. Maybe you toyed with the idea of blogging in the past, but were uncertain of how it would work and did not go ahead? Well with MCB you would have at least 14 other bloggers for support. Also as I explained, for most people a joint blog is their best bet of blogging for an actual readership. Personal blogs struggle because they generally can not generate enough regular updates to keep hold of daily visitors to the page. But with a joint blog how it works is that your co-authors make the regular updates for you and keep the readers' interest for until you are ready to make your post. I am not promising you that you will have that with MCB, or have it right away, but I am promising you that if you want to blog while having the peace of mind that you did all you could have done to have your blog posts read, then you should write for a multiple-author blog.
Further explanation/thinking:
Editorial policy:
I propose a good editorial policy may be that posts should be primarily commentary of current affairs from a doctrinarian Austrian and doctrinarian libertarian perspectives. Posts on libertarian theory, philosophy, Austrian theory, history and economic history would be welcome as well. Brief posts like those at the LRC blog would be perfectly fine, but the important thing to keep in mind would be focus.
Participant bloggers should be aware the kind of readers we would potentially get may not be interested in what they have to say if it revolves around something that is far removed from the kind of things we discuss on this forum. If something seems as if it may be esoteric for the Austrian/libertarian interested crowd it may be best left for your personal blog.
I think the blog should scorn all word-for-word reposts, from either the participant's personal blogs or from the forum, but if participant bloggers further developed their points from the forum on the blog that would be great.
I think having a content editor-overseer may be good, if only for the peace of mind of the participants, as I don't think he would have much actual work. But it may also work at the beginning to try doing without an actual person-editor, but just have a general consensus-based editorial policy that participant bloggers try to adhere to on their own, and go from there.
Technical-logistical stuff:
I propose the blog should be WordPress based, because WordPress has a much better commenting system than BlogSpot and with this potential blog being a blog of forumites I would hope that posts comments would end up an important and highly visible and voluminous part of it.
We would need a place for internal discussion, a tiny forum of our own somewhere would be best I think, albeit a new Mises community group may be fine as well.
Somebody would obviously have to set all this up. I will be hoping someone else states their readiness to set it up by himself, but if no one does, I am ultimately, in the interest of Project MCB, willing to do it myself. This certainly isn't going to fail because nobody found the time to install a forum and open up a blog page, that would be pathetic.
One further thought:
As someone who was active in an online gaming clan for years I can say I have found that what works best in making a small online team vibrant is if there is not too much emphasis on rank, rules or procedure that would stifle initiative. So if things seem like they are ill-defined and hanging in the air, do not be alarmed as that is usually for the best.
So yes, my pledge:
I pledge to write one post for the group blog provisionally known as the Mises Community Blog every fifteen (15) days for a period of ninety (90) days total, if at least fourteen (14) other forum members will pledge to do the same in the next fourty-five (45) day period ending with November 19th. If these other pledges do not materialize in the time period given consider my pledge withdrawn. Also consider that I withdraw my pledge if a small number of subsequent pledges should express their opinion it would be in the interest of the Mises Community Blog project if I were to do so.
So we're 1/15th of the way there already.
Sorry Marko, I was going to reply to the other thread but then I forgot. I'd definitely like to see this.

Come on, guys!
Actually, I'd probably be interested in featuring these posts on LibertyHQ if this thing takes off. I'll make a new thread about it.
How long would our blog posts have to be?
How long would our blog posts have to be?
Great. I'll probably join, I just don't want to pledge now and then not have time to do it. I'll have a quick think.
That's nice to hear. Very responsible of you.
Do we get equal say for equal work done?
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!"
Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
I don't know what you mean. Can you explain? You can have all the say you want. I'm just taking the initiative until somebody else does. No personally I don't think "equal say for equal work" would be a good rule . That sounds cumbersome, something that would be a drag. Also you can't measure who does how much work can you?
I've found in the gaming clan I was a part of that what works best is something we may call "decision-making by consensus of the interested". Lets say the question is what background color the blog is going to use. Somebody raises this question of the background color and opens a topic where he makes his suggestion, asks for alternative suggestions and asks people to signal their agreement with his suggestion. Then after a few people have come together to signal they like this or that color best or that they are at least able to live with it, the tech-person is asked to make the change when he can get around to it. The point is that you do not necessarily wait for everyone to weight in, as that would take a long time and prevent improvements from being made quickly, and would needlessly fuss participants who do not care about the question of the background color, or are happy for other more involved, or more detail-minded people to settle this question among themselves. So no, you would not get equal say, you would get as much say as you want, or as little as you want.
I was joshing. Anyway, I am interested in joining.
I suggest we change the charter so that all blog content is released under copyleft.
I suggest we change the charter so that all blog content is released under copyleft.
BUMP. Come on, you lame-os!
That's a pledge from me BTW.
It seems we have 4 5 possible commitments. I would be willing to write as well. Is there going to be any kind of criteria for subjects we write about? Or will it be open to any topic?
As things stand now (9 days into pledges gathering phase):
Pledges (3):
Expressed interest (3):
Daniel Muffinburg
I'd say we are just about on schedule seeing we gathered 1/5th of the pledges in 1/5th of the time allocated.
I would be willing to write as well. Is there going to be any kind of criteria for subjects we write about? Or will it be open to any topic?
I'm thinking as long as it has some kind of a free-market/freedom connection and would therefore be of interest to freedom-oriented people. So maybe a post where you express your love of Country music and go on to explain how actually everyone feels the quality of Conway Twitty's output is far superior to that of the ridicilously overrated Waylon Jennings except that men are afraid to admit it because of the respective images of two performers, may not be appropriate. But if you've put time in arranging and uploading a neat 20-song compilation of anti-authoritharian country songs on Youtube and wish to plug it on the blog then that's welcome as we'd really like to hear it.
Anyway this will probably sort itself out over time, I'm sure in the beginning there may be a post or two which may raise eyebrows or have question marks appear over people's heads as to its relevancy, but over time we'll discover what the precise focus works best for our site, a very wide one or a slightly narrower one. We can't know everything in advance and you're not required to have a 100% perfect feel for what is appropriate right from the start. We'd all be doing this in order to learn and improve after all.
While my participation here has been somewhat intermittent, I'm at a time when I need to keep my mind active. Eviscerations of the State sounds like just the thing!
So count me in: I pledge too.
Let's bump this up, people!
a carefully considered and stylishly written 2000-word
a carefully considered and stylishly written 2000-word
Is this the expectation from an average post? Or the goal to which to reach?
It is not an expectation, if you look at the LRC Blog most of their posts are tiny, and it is a great blog nonetheless. It is also not a goal because everyone may set up their goal for themselves.
But I can say that many who take up blogging will discover oftentimes the length of their posts will just balloon and balloon from what they envisioned it would be before starting on it, and that the real challenge is keeping length under control and the post a manageable one. 2000 words is really nothing sometimes.
Ok, then count me in.
5 pledges (Marko, Wheylous, Neodoxy, Groucho, Andris Birkmanis) in 15 days. I conclude we remain on schedule.
I have a feeling Telligent does not support 'stickes,' so.... bump.
It's early, I sort of skimmed the post (I thought this was about having a new forum again), and I've been up since 5, so I probably missed something, anyway...
I'd be interested in contributing (keep things interesting), but I haven't even wrote a thought out post on politics/econ in some time, regardless I think I can add something of substantial content on something.
If something seems as if it may be esoteric for the Austrian/libertarian interested crowd it may be best left for your personal blog.
If something seems as if it may be esoteric for the Austrian/libertarian interested crowd it may be best left for your personal blog.
Err, like something that's just not in lines with the format, conspiracy theories, or something like Clayton's posts on Blavatsky?
Also, can we rehash old posts on here and rewrite them for the new blog? I think this would be a good way to save "old thoughts" on here and catalog them in a better manner (important posts that were substantial can become a blog post in itself).
I think that at this point he might say yes :P
The way this sort of seems is that the regulars are going to have their own site to make posts while keeping up on the news/kicking around ideas here on the forum.
If the pledges stop at 14, I'll be last one.
If the pledges stop at 14, I'll be last one.
If the pledges stop at 14, I'll be last one.
Does it mean you do not want your pledge before that point to encourage somebody else to join?
I'm in.
Andris Birkmanis:
Does it mean you do not want your pledge before that point to encourage somebody else to join?
I think this is a good idea but I'm not sure I can devote it the time it deserves. On the other hand, it would be a shame if it failed by a slim margin, so I'll pledge if no one pushes it beyond 15 in the allotted time-frame (and, of course, than I'll devote enough time to it).
On the other hand, it would be a shame if it failed by a slim margin
On the other hand, it would be a shame if it failed by a slim margin
Then pledge right now :)
If we do not reach 15 - you have no obligations, that's the whole point.
It's not exactly the same thing, for if I pledge now and we beat the target by one (say, 16 pledges) I still must contribute
But yeah, what the hell, I'm in!
Another demonstration of faulty logic (and even manifestly faulty logic) affecting human action :)
Care to think again?
Sorry, I didn't mean that as an insult :(
But it was kinda funny, that despite seeing a fault in my argument, you agreed.
I thought you were referring to my post, sorry
So when are we getting this show on the road?
Our contractual obligations kick in on November 19th, or when we get 15 signatories, I guess.
Though we can easily start before that, purely on pro bono basis. Wait...
But yeah, what the hell, I'm in!
Welcome! As you say, you haven't been posting much lately but I remember you had your fans when you were.

List honors top 15 percent of schools that embrace American veterans as students
September 17, 2012
DEARBORN/ September 17, 2012---The effort that the University of Michigan-Dearborn community commits to embracing Americas military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensuring their success on campus helped distinguish the university as a Military Friendly School.
G.I. Jobs magazine included UM-Dearborn in its 2013 list of military-friendly schools, which honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that embrace American veterans as students. G.I. Jobs compiled the list after polling thousands of schools nationwide to determine which institutions best led recruitment efforts of military and veteran students.
The fact that University of Michigan-Dearborn was distinguished as a Military-Friendly School shows our commitment to providing a supportive environment for military students here, said Stanley Henderson, vice chancellor for enrollment management and student life. The University plans to continue on with those efforts in the years ahead to ensure a great college experience for not just veterans, but all students.
UM-Dearborns Veteran Success Team, which comprises staff from a variety of campus units, provides services to a diverse community of students. Whether students were recently released from active duty, currently on active duty, in the National Guard or Reserves or a spouse or dependent of a disabled veteran, the Veterans Success Team helps them transition and ultimately reach their academic goals.
The focus of the Veterans Success Team is to be a visible resource and support network for our veteran students, said UM-Dearborn veteran liaison Sharon Lobdell. It can be difficult transitioning from military service to being a student, adjusting to college life at the same time. So the Veterans Success Team utilizes the diversity of its members and the connections they have across campus to make UM-Dearborn a truly veteran friendly campus. We want all of our veteran students to know that we are proud of what they have done and we are honored to call them Wolves.
Student veterans also work together to establish organizations that can help ensure success. When Suzette McGraw Price (11 B.A.) arrived at UM-Dearborn she recognized fellow veterans by their camouflage backpacks, but there was hardly any interaction between them.
That all changed after she helped establish the Student Veterans Association at University of Michigan-Dearborn. The Student Veterans Association serves as a network for student veterans, where they can receive assistance with securing veterans benefits and resources about PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) treatment. From that point on, thats when we really started to rally the troops, said McGraw-Price, who served two tours in the U.S. Army.
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University has 9,100 students pursuing more than 100 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education. A top-ranked university with a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of partnering with local leaders and communities, and is committed to finding solutions for the challenges that face the region.

Item Title: Boker Camp Knife with Black Delrin Handle
Due to the increasing demand in a restless political era, Hermann and Robert Boeker decided in 1829 to begin with the production of sabers. As early as September 1830, the accounting records indicate a weekly production of 2,000 items, made by 64 smiths, 47 grinders and a large number of unskilled laborers. In view of the constantly increasing variety of tools and cutting instruments and the good opportunities for worldwide sales, the family realized that the individual steps in the manufacturing process had to be spread out for optimal realization of its interests. As a result, Hermann Boeker emigrated and founded H. Boeker & Co. in New York. Young Robert developed his enterprise in Canada, founding a branch in Mexico later in 1865. This branch is still a market leader in its country under the name of Casa Boeker.
Heinrich crossed the nearby Wupper river and went to Solingen, where the German industry of cutting tools was growing by leaps and bounds at that time. In 1869, he founded Heinr. Boeker & Co. with Hermann Heuser, a well-known specialist in the field of cutting tools. The Boeker family in Remscheid and their overseas cousins had a lot of interest in and a great demand for shaving blades, scissors and pocket knives from Heinrich's new enterprise. They had to identify their products for the overseas markets in a simple way, since many customers and consumers had problems with the German name Boeker ? not considering the fact that illiteracy was widely spread. In Heinrich's opinion, the chestnut tree near the Remscheid facility represented an ideal, easy-to-remember symbol. This brand symbol was owned by the Remscheid company, together with a second logo, the arrow. One of the few valuable documents that survived the total destruction of WWII is an ad by Boeker, Remscheid, from the year 1874, showing both logos.
The relationship between the two Boeker companies had always been extremely friendly. Therefore, Heinrich was allowed to take the tree symbol across the river with him ? without any big fight or cost. Since then, not a single Boeker article has left the Solingen factory without being identified by the tree symbol. After more than 100 years of existence the old chestnut tree was the victim of lightening. In 1925 a talented artist carved a copy of the majestic tree on a piece of the trunk. This original piece of art decorates the boss' office in the Boeker plant.
As early as 1900, the majority of articles produced by Boeker were distributed in the US market. H. Boker & Co. in New York concentrated primarily on cutting tools from Solingen. Soon pocket knives became more important than scissors, shaving blades and eating utensils. The demand increased even more rapidly than Solingen was able to supply, so that the Americans in New York began their own production of pocket knives. A little later, pliers were included as well. Since the tree symbol had become well known by then and the various branches of the international Boeker family enjoyed an excellent relationship among each other, it was not difficult to receive permission from the Solingen relatives to use the tree symbol also for the American products. Since that time, two different lines of Boeker knives have been on the American market with the same brand symbol, sometimes even with the same article numbers, but one line was made in the USA and the other in Solingen. Only the declaration of marketability clarified that one line was from Boker USA and the other from H. Boker Improved Cutlery Solingen. The relationship was interrupted during WWII. The Solingen factory burned down completely. None of the equipment, tools, catalog materials or samples was spared. Those few originals from the past we have today survived the war in private homes and were made available to the company. The firm lost one of its most valuable assets: the registration of the tree symbol for the American market was confiscated pursuant to American law. John Boker Jr. acquired it in New York, in order to secure it for the distribution of the American and German products. Soon after the war, the destroyed factory was rebuilt. Those loyal skilled workers who had survived the war, returned and helped with the reconstruction of the building as well as the production, gradually regaining the previous high standard of quality.
The American cousins renewed their business contact with Solingen and started to place orders. Within a few years Boker, New York, had again become the principal customer. Models like the 7588 and 7474 and the most expensive item, the sports knife "Flagship Model 182" could not cross the ocean fast enough to reach Boker friends all over the country.
In the early 60s, Boker USA was sold and eventually acquired by the well-known scissors manufacturer Wiss & Sons. Wiss retained the manufacture of Boeker knives and sold them together with Solingen products. Of course, this meant that the Boeker scissors ceased to be competitors of the Wiss line in the American market. In the early 70s, Wiss sold to Cooper Industries, a multinational company. This new change in America proved to be advantageous for Boker.
A very close business, as well as personal relationship developed with this industrial giant. Due to its strength on the market, Cooper was able to restore the original magnitude of the Boeker name. Thanks to the very lively business activities with Cooper for eight years, the Solingen facility could streamline its production and develop new, modern products. Without exaggeration, Boker manufactures the largest assortment of high-quality knives for sportsmen and collectors with an unsurpassed variety of materials for blades and handles. Today, Boeker knives range from 320-layer Damascus steel to very modern ceramics, with handles ranging from high-quality mother-of-pearl to Thuya root wood and state-of-the-art synthetics...
In 1983 Cooper discontinued its own knife production. Models still in demand are being manufactured in Solingen today. As a result of friendly negotiations, Cooper restored the American trademark rights three years later, providing Solingen with the opportunity to become self-reliant in the huge American market. Thus, in 1986, Boker USA, Inc. was created in Denver, Colorado. Chuck Hoffman, the man who was involved with the company then, was active as CEO until 2007, working with a young, energetic team. The current CEO is Dan Weidner.
The great importance of Boeker in the South American markets (Argentina and Chile) and in Mexico is due to the efficient men of the Boeker family, who were active for us in these countries in the 19th and 20th centuries. Today's trademark includes the terms TREEBRAND and ARBOLITO. Since the Argentinian market in particular is subject to extreme economic and political fluctuations, the good name ARBOLITO was in danger of being forgotten. In 1983, Boeker Arbolito S. A. was founded jointly with the Salzmann family primarily to manufacture household and work knives in Argentina. Thanks to the constant modernization and expansion of product lines the company in Buenos Aires is able to compete worldwide with selected products today.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Happy to say that I'm back in the groove, and more than ever. The music has really helped stretch out the routines to half an hour, give or take a few minutes. It's interesting to explore the routine with different music as it will often suggest to my a new pose or kriya.
Late summer always gives me energy to strike out on walks, and I've been prioritizing those, even on days where I've done some intense yoga. I've always said "I've done my yoga, I'll skip the walk" but not now. I have a new, very heavy job cleaning a shop for a friend's business on Sundays. It is very physical work, and I decided that I needed to up my activity on other days so I wasn't so wiped out on Monday. The last 5 pounds have melted off, though I think the easy part is over!
The old music has flooded my psyche with many of the emotions and memories of my teen self, the one I cast aside with all the craziness but part of her stays with me now. Hard to explain. I guess on my spiritual journeys in my twenties I turned my back on the attachment and materialism of that era, and never looked back. Now I've looked back and see that not all of me had been thrown into the "fire". So now it's time to embrace that girl and envelope those emotions in the wisdom of my years.
Had a shock listening to one of my all-time favorite albums, the Cure's Boys Don't Cry from 1980 (I came upon it in 1985). Hadn't listened to it in 25 years, and I get to these songs that had me in tears of confusion and lonlieness after my first romantic heartbreak. I didn't cry, but it was like a punch in the gut. Not any feelings of the old boyfriend (long since past and quite thoroughly) but the lingering emptiness and helplessness. It made me angry that my favorite music was so spoiled and I intend on taking that back.
Depeche Mode's Black Celebration is similarly tied up in so much emotion, but those songs conjure up feelings of happiness and contentment both with myself ("Heeeere on my own/ Aaaaaall on my own/ How good it feels to be alone tonight") and the better parts of those early relationships, and my naive but growing sexuality. Amazing what that music brings to my yoga.
OK, I've rambled more than I intended!
Managed a 30 minute routine due to the fact that I put on an old Depeche Mode CD and grooved my way through my poses. Awesome. I love a little back beat with my yoga. Love the heart-pounding music some instructors play during classes. Having that in my own way really helped deepen and lengthen my poses, and prevented a lot of rigidity. Listening to "People Are People" puts a little wag in my downward dog! A slower song wrapped up the routine, then it was time to crank it up and dance my way through "Master And Servant". So energizing and fun and Wow! An entire half hour passed by and I didn't have a video playing. I think I've stumbled onto something.
I've been on a retro nostalgia kick this last week, digging deep into my personal archives for the music that moved me the most when I was growing up, and Depeche Mode were the epicenter of that for me from 1985 onward. So much fun!
Tore my calf a couple of weeks ago and had to stop running. Felt pretty depressed about it and thought I should add in more yoga but couldn't motivate myself for any last week. Still can't run but want to keep up with my general fitness and hope that I am healed enough for my race on Sunday so I am determined to do some yoga every day this week.
The Shiva Rea video sounds fascinating. I added it to my Amazon wish list, maybe I'll pick it up in the next couple of months.
|Did a sweet 30 minutes with dd9, watching Shiva Rea's Yoga Trance Dance. We both really love that video. She likes the dance, I like the luscious spine movements incorporated into all the poses. "Seprentine cobra", undulating downward dog. Then there are the twisting kriyas and Shiva Rea's awesome dialogue. I always get choked up on this one part that transitions to slience, but this time, after not watching it for so long, I choked up in a few places. I never actually cry, but came close to tears several times. Don't ask me why. But it's a great release.
I really should add a modified headstand pose to my "routine", if I can find the d@mn walls!
Thoughts on headstand, from a yogini's perspective, not an experts..... There is something amazing about headstands. The strengthening is amazing. I've never reached any sense of ease to benefit from any purported restorative properties, but I loved doing headstand between chairs so the the head and shoulders are supported, body up against the wall. I remember it feeling lovely, but I only did that in class with supervision.
But, alas, no walls, period arrived (just in time for camping.... can I grumble here? Trying to to complain where the girls can hear!) I think my life will resume when we get back :/
Ahh, clutter is such a distractor, and how lovely this summer has been for being outside. Hope your cold has cleared. Summer colds are a bummer.
AFM I've been doing lots of running and not as much yoga as I'd like. But a little bit every day I run (~3x/wk) and I've started taking a Sunday class in addition to the Saturday one, so actually not too bad, at least a little bit at least 5x/wk. Still want to work in more silent meditation. We did a reverse triangle in my new Sunday class (I had totally forgotten that pose even existed!) and did some work with the dolphin in preparation for the headstand (not part of my regular practice but should it be? What are the thoughts out there about the headstand?). I wish I could make my home practice more exciting, i.e. work in some poses I don't always do, but how?
How is everybody doing?
I can't say I'm doing all that well in the yoga department. Recently I've been very good about doing a few core exercises in the morning. I've been sick these last 3 days and haven't done anything. I've resigned myself to the fact that a true yoga routine will not happen in the morning. There is a sense of freedom in that. It feels natural to do 5 minutes of corework. It challenges me to find space in my day for some time. I love the afternoon. I've been mindful to block out my week for walks and yoga. This week I've been blasted with a really bad cold, but otherwise I've stuck to it. Yes, I need to schedule in time for exercise!
The basement is almost finished. The stuff stored down there has "exploded" into the upstairs and I roll my yoga mat out in the bedroom and don't even have time to spread my arms out. So discouraging! But since we've decided to not seal the basement floor, we can start moving some things down. Amazing how much that affects your state of mind.
Summer time means that more of my time to myself takes me outdoors for walks and work rather than long yoga routines, and that's OK. I just need to 1. create a place holder each day for when winter sends us indoors and 2. bring my yoga state of mind to my walks, which is easy to do for me in general (though still challenging with all the mental chatter!)
6 months and I'm no closer to reestablishing my daily routines, but I'm no further away, either. That is still an improvement over 2 years ago when I didn't do anything at all.
Habits are hard to break and hard to make. I need to be content with little victories.
Now to kick this cold. Bleah!!! I feel like crap in a way I haven't for several years! I'm feeling a little inspired to go and sit on my mat and see what feels good in this state. Even a moment of mindfulness would be helpful. A twist or two. Cobbler's pose. Savasana for a change.....
Made it to class second week in a row. In often tired and just fancy stating home on the sofa, but feel so much better if I can make myself go.
This week we did some half sun salutations, and a bunch of bridge variations. Was great.
Argh, all this travel has wreaked havoc on my already struggling practice. Changes in sleeping patterns is especially disruptive for me and I haven't slept well since the trip before the last one. I feel a little overwhelmed by all the chores awaiting me each day (spring is a terrible time to be away from the farm) and am having a really hard time carving out the time- and energy!- for focusing on self-care. Remind me again how it's good for me and will bring new energy and focus to the other things I have to do? I did spend some pretty big blocks of time meditating on these eight hour train rides. But since I've been home (Tuesday night) I have only done two 15 minute practices. I am going to try to really recommit myself tomorrow to 20 minutes twice a day with a focus on just making it through the next week.
Yammas- I agree that the mind wandering is much worse at home than in class. But I find that the slower pace that I can set for myself gives me more time to really settle in and focus on alignment in the poses in a way that is not always possible in a class. Perhaps you can shift your focus from worry over whether your posture is "right" to observing how your body feels as you make small adjustments in each posture without too much judgement.
Sweetsilver- I like the schedule change! I am a wicked homebody but my son is already the type who wants to be going somewhere everyday, and my husband worries incessantly that since he's not in daycare or preschool he may be missing out on important socialization. I think it's a bunch of hooey, but still agreed to take him to three classes a week: gymnastics, music, and swimming. It's a real pain because two of the classes are a 45 minute drive each way and it eats up such a huge portion of my mornings (my most energetic and productive time). I am eagerly anticipating the cessation of his music classes at the end of this month and another day home myself.
prosciencemum- Glad your ankle is healed up! Your class sounds yummy.
RebeloveMa- Everyone recovered over there? DS and I have both really struggled with allergies this spring. I've been neti-ing pretty regularly but the congestion still makes it difficult to practice. I try to slip into the Ujjayi breath and next thing I am coughing and sputtering and definitely not feeling in the flow. It's tough because I am pretty dependent on the sound of my breath to anchor me in my practice. When it is scattered, I am scattered. Thanks for sharing the great links. I looked one over briefly but haven't had a chance (or made a chance) to try them out yet.
|Glad to see everyone is doing ok congrats in getting back into class the one one that I found has been cancelled so im back to home practice for now but its just not the same I find my mind wonders and I am more concerned over whether or not im doing the poses properly than the practise itself iykwim?
You forget how sweet it is until you can't have it. Good to hear you are back in the swing of things! I am transitioning to a schedule that makes one day really busy, but gives me an extra day to stay at home. Enjoying it.
First class after my twisted ankle tonight. Was lovely. Hip openers, outstretched puppy and downward dog variations.
Not working out how to start a daily practice yet, but at least I'm back at weekly classes.
Just a quick check in, only got a minute but-

I am really dealing with this weight thing right now. I am about 5 lbs heavier now than when I delivered DS, but I've never felt stronger, better, healthier than I do now. Why is this not the place to explore these issues? I am working on letting go of weight as a measure of fitness. It seems irrelevant to my practice, which is not about weight loss at all but all about more spiritual issues: letting go, finding a peaceful place, cherishing myself...
Thanks for the reminder to look into the Five Tibetan Rites.
I did not do as much practice or meditation as I would've liked while I was away, but I did do a little every-other-day-ish... Did 10 minutes meditation this first am home. And feeling really optimistic about how my practice might grow in the coming months. Bring on the Spring!
It's great to see some new posts! We are all in such different places in our lives. Some of you have very tiny children, while mine are older, and I'm sure we're all different ages. And yet, here we all are, learning to drink in the wonderful gift of yoga!

I've changed my routine a bit. I've decided that it's really important to me do the full course of the Five Tibetan Rites as part of my daily yoga practice. Now, on the four days when I work more or less full-time, I generally do 30 minutes of yoga on my morning break and 30 minutes of hula hooping to music on my afternoon break. That 30 minutes of yoga includes the Five Tibetan Rites, 12 or more sequences of sun salutations, and some side-to-side twisting.
And on the three days when I work part-time or not at all, I do an hour or more of yoga. This yoga always includes the Five Tibetan Rites and generally also one of the two yoga videos I mentioned earlier. I usually do the Kundalini video twice a week and the Hatha video once a week. When I do the Hatha video, as it's a little shorter than the Kundalini video, I precede it with some sun salutations and side-to-side twists so that I'll still be getting an hour of exercise.
I'm also endeavoring to spend around 30 or so minutes meditating in savasana, at least a few times a week, at the end of my working day. I do also consider my hula hooping to be somewhat meditative, and on the days when I'm not hula hooping, I do spend at least 10 or more minutes meditating in savasana at the end of my yoga videos. I'm finding that the deeper I go with my yoga, the easier and easier it's getting to relax into that meditative state.
One thing that really excites me is that I'm now able to completely follow some instructions that I'd learned on Wikipedia for doing the fifth Tibetan Rite. When I'd first started doing the Rites a couple of years ago, I'd read there that I should space my hands and feet around two feet apart -- but when I tried it back then, as I went up into the part that's like a combination of the plank and cobra, I felt a horrible wrench in my belly and had to take a break from that rite for a few days until it stopped hurting. Then when I resumed it, I just did it the way that felt natural, with hands and feet much closer together.
Recently, I decided to gingerly try spacing my hands and feel a little further and further apart each day, and soon discovered that I could fully follow the Wikipedia instructions without any pain. It's so exciting to see how my core has gotten stronger, as well as how the loss of so much weight has helped me and made me more capable!
Oh, yes! Here are the links for the two Vinyasa flows that I found. Honestly, there are a few things I can't do in both of these videos. I can not keep up with all of the down dog-chaturanga-up dog-down dog parts. I eventually just stay in the first down dog and try to catch my breath. Nonetheless, I enjoy them and like to have a goal to work toward. I haven't done either since I got sick, but I look forward to trying one again, maybe next week.
Link 1: 50 min. yoga flow
Link 2: 60 min. Vinyasa flow for shoulders and low back
OK, I am gonna do a little practice and meditation for the first time in a while! Good night!
Thanks for the wise words SweetSilver.
I am leaving for Pennsylvania today, for this weekend's race and Easter with in-laws. I am bringing my mat and my meditation pillow. With DS occupied by grandparents and cousins and no chores to do I should have plenty of time and space to get in some practice over the next few days.
Thanks for checking back in with us, MsBe. It looks to be a hard time all around for us.
As for me, when you didn't hear from me, I wasn't doing yoga! Today I did my first 5 rounds. Really had to dedicate myself, but then when we are feeling energetic it seems easy to skip that part. When we are at our deepest low is when the dedication flows. That is the "gift". When you need it the most is when you are most open to receiving it.
What exactly does it mean to be dedicated? I know I'm stepping into a more spiritual territory when I've purposely placed this thread in Fitness, but it is hard to separate. Is "dedication" different from "inspiration"? Maybe contemplating the nature of the two will bring you to a place where you find the motivation to pull out your mat and offer yourself 10 minutes of yoga. I know it works for me.
ETA: What are you dedicating your practice to? Yourself. You are the giver and the recipient. Cosmic.
Ugh. I have been terribly absent from my practice lately. I am really stressed out about this 5K on Saturday, probably would be really helpful to spend some time cooling out with meditation, but I am having a hard time just doing it.
Something you are able to link us to?
Hey y'all! I am glad to finally be back here. My practice was going pretty strong there for a while, especially in March. I was doing relaxing stuff almost every night, a couple moon salutations and spine twists. Then about once a week I was doing a more hardcore (hardcore for me) vinyasa flow. I found a couple of 50-60 minute routines on the internet. They were awesome and really kicking my butt!
Then, a couple of weeks ago, my dd caught something. I fell away from yoga a bit, but tried to keep up with my interval training at the gym. I was doing well, not getting sick myself, then I went for a run and BLAM...
I am still feeling pretty bad, but I'm on the up and up. In fact, I think tonight I will try to do a couple of mellow poses to ease back into a practice.
I am thankful to come here and share the ups and down of a not-so-regular yoga practice.
@prosciencemum- I hope your ankle is feeling better!
@SweetSilver - I love your posts! Thank you!
@MsBe - I appreciate you calling the MIAs out!
EVERYONE: Blessed Be and Happy Spring!
SweetSilver- I am enjoying your "post-everyday-I-do-it". Not bored yet!
I had a nice little run going myself but missed today. I find it so hard to motivate when AF visits. I went to the Y today and swam with DS and then came home and got in the garden for a bit, but then I was so exhausted I took a nearly 3 hour nap. Dedication to practice begins anew tomorrow.
One more session.
Instead of the core work on the floor, I did udyana banda, which I highly recommend as an alternative to or addition to core work. I always take an extra breath or 2 or 3 in between repetitions. I'm amazed that doing 3 rounds of this seems to affect my posture better than more difficult core work, and without the soreness.
Followed that with 10 sun salutations, adding some good hip strengtheners (half moon pose, standing splits, flying warrior) as well as warrior 1 and 2. Sample:
Forward bend
step back, knee on floor to crescent pose
plank pose
push up pose to floor
low cobra
down dog
warrior 1
standing split
repeat on other side
next round, change out warrior 1 for warrior 2, half moon pose for standing split
at some point, I drop the step-back to crescent and just jump back.
keep changing it up with every round until the last (10 salutations, 5 rounds, for me) you move into pigeon pose on each side, then done.
I threw in a twist in there somewhere and cobbler pose where it made sense, at the end I like to move into prayer pose before pushing into down dog. Just feel what your body needs. If it's a strong routine, pepper it and finish with more supple poses.
Nope, no savasna.
ETA: I just read the instructions on the link I posted. I wanted to emphasize that you *release the lock and relax your abdominals before you inhale*. Also, my teacher did this crazy thing where she held the lock, then started undulating the belly up and down. It's weird and jiggly, and I recommend doing it without an audience at first
Nearly forgot to check in. Yup, did my routine this morning. I felt like I was my own mother reminding me to do my homework. The joy was not apparent, but it got done. :) Sometimes dedication feels nothing like bliss. Need to remind myself of that from time to time. Well, more often than that! That's part of the problem!
Going to post every day I do a routine. Don't hear from me, I didn't do it. Must get my ass in gear. For the record, did 10 + my core work this morning. Hope I don't bore you with the repeptition. Hope I *do* bore you with repetition because that means I'm doing it!
|My ankle is improving slowly, and I'm aiming to go back to my classes following our 2 week Easter break. Getting a real break during that period which I'm really looking forward to.
prosciencemum- Hope that ankle is healing nicely. Sorry I don't have any strengthening advice for you, but I'd like to hear if you find something that feels great and really seems to help.
SweetSilver- Yay for your 10 rounds! May this be the beginning of your triumphant return to the mat :) It is great that your walking meditations have picked up. I am currently visiting my sister in Virginia and it is truly spring here. I have been out walking or running everyday, or just bringing my mat out and doing some slow stretches in the sun. It feels so incredible after what was beginning to feel like like an interminable winter. Tomorrow I head back North and I'm hoping and praying for just a little less snow cover when we get there...
I'm still a little plumper than I'd like to be too, but I figure it's just the time of year. Once the days are above freezing, the ground thaws, and I can spend my time out in the garden instead of sipping cocoa by the wood stove, I figure I'm bound to drop a few pounds.
My mat practice has been somewhat spotty, but much better than February now that I am tracking it again. I'm still missing two or three days some weeks but most days I am managing at least 10 minutes at some point. I think I mentioned before that I am trying to train for a 5K later this month and that makes it difficult to carve out significant time for yoga. My asana work is also suffering a bit from my renewed efforts at sitting meditation, but things on that front are at least moving forward... slowly, slowly. I am up to about 20 minutes most days, although sometimes that is one 20 minute session and sometimes that is 10 in the am and 10 in the pm. My goal for this season is to establish a 30-40 minute/day sitting practice, preferably 20-30 in the am and another short session before bed. Spring has always been my least favorite season. The weather is so inconsistent and unreliable, and everything is mud and slush and ice, and yet it is so busy. There is so much to be done before summer comes. I am already starting to feel overwhelmed. Blech. But I making an effort to embrace it this year instead of letting it get me down.
Rebelove, Jaxy, and any others who are MIA- How are you? Where are you in your practice? I miss you & hope to hear from you soon. :)
I have been a lazy girl.
Today I did my 10 sun salutations rounds after not doing *any* yoga for weeks. Nt even a measly 2-salutation round like before. have been walking more, which is always a good asana for me, but no mat practice, nothing.
I have got to whip myself back into practice. I am now 15 pounds up, and no twisted ankle as an excuse.
|Thanks. I have been walking (carefully), but not with a yoga mindset. And some exploration of mountain/tree does sound like a good idea.
I am thinking tree pose? Modified on the bad side--just put your foot just above the ankle. You don't want to work the ankle harder by making the balance trickier. I would avoid or modify poses that might put pressure on the ankle--even poses where you squat might put pressure there. I went back into yoga after a knee injury, and I had to do a lot of my own modifying as I went.
Anyway, I will try to think of more. I even think some time in mountain pose would be a great place to start and feel out the limits of your ankle. Changing the weight distribution, just feeling around. And most definitely ending the session with legs up a wall for a time, especially if you still have some swelling.
I am a great believer in the "walking asana". Walking seems to set everything back to normal. Though, I have a tendency when injured to overestimate my abilities, and have found myself too far from home, relatively, and facing a painful walk back. Up and down the block, or even around the house (because I remember after my cesarean being stranded just 6 houses away!) Long enough to have as natural a stride as possible, but not so far that the commitment is too great.
Good luck! Bummer about ankles. I sprained my ankle badly about 20 years ago, and I still wasn't 100% 3 years later, though I only noticed it after going on some very long walks.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Kicker 11DX1000.1 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. A kilowatt of bass power For some people, great bass is what makes life worth living. Kicker built their DX1000.1 mono amp to send up to 1,000 watts RMS to your car's sub system, so you can feel the low-frequency joy, too — all from an amp with a footprint that's about the size of a piece of computer paper. You can harness this awesome power with a built-in low-pass filter that tailors the bass notes you send to your sub, while the subsonic filter removes the super-low frequencies that your sub can't play. A bass boost lets you add some extra bump in your music, and the remote controller lets you control the amp's level from the driver's seat. You'll also find the set of preamp outputs handy for getting signal to another amp in your system. Isolates and eliminates noise You want lots of power for your subs, but this Kicker DX amp gives you something extra — clean power. Kicker's FIT™ — Fail-Safe Integration Technology — rejects noise from alternators, audio/video gear, and other car electronics for crisp, clean operation, and accepts a wide range of signals so you can hook up the DX1000.1 to almost any stereo.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Controls Connections Warranty Features CEA 2006 Compliant: The Kicker DX1000.1's power and signal to noise ratio are measured according to CEA 2006 standards (Consumer Electronics Association). These standards allow you to accurately compare the specifications of all CEA 2006-compliant amplifiers, even if they are different brands. Manufacturers who adhere to the standards can display the CEA 2006 logo on their products and packaging. The rated power output is 550 watts RMS x 1 channel into 4Ω (20-200 Hz, <1% THD+N). While the CEA 2006 S/N is 75 dB (measured at 1 watt), the S/N at rated power is >95 dB. Kicker Livin' Loud Certified Power: The amplifier comes with a certificate that indicates the total maximum wattage of the particular amplifier, along with the model number, serial number, tested date, and whether the amplifier passed the total harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and protection circuit tests. Protection Circuitry: The DX1000.1 has protection circuitry that will turn the amp off in the event of overheating, over voltage (power input), under voltage (power input), short circuit (speaker output), and over current (speaker output). If the Protection LED on the left side of the amp illuminates red, the protection circuit has engaged and the amp will not play until the problem is resolved. Fail-Safe Integration Technology (FIT): To accommodate the varying range of signal levels coming from today's factory and aftermarket radios, the DX1000.1 utilizes Fail-Safe Integration Technology (FIT), offering isolated differential inputs for significant noise reduction, and compatibility with virtually any factory radio. Speaker Level Input: High level inputs can be used when the source device doesn't have preamp level outputs. The same RCA inputs on the amp are used for either speaker level or line level connections. When a speaker level signal is used, speaker wire to RCA adapters are needed (item number 20609ZISL, sold separately) and the Input Level should be set to High. ZXRC Remote Bass Control: The DX1000.1 comes with the ZXRC Remote Bass Control, which allows you to control the output level of the amplifier from the front of the vehicle. The wired remote comes with a bracket to mount it under the dash. The supplied 18' cable, with RJ-25 phone plugs at each end, connects the wired remote bass level control to the amplifier. Note: The Remote Bass Control measures approximately 2-1/4" wide x 1-1/4" high x 1.75" deep (2-3/8" deep including the knob and wiring). Controls Gain Control: With the Input Level Control switch at the appropriate setting, you can set the rotary Gain Control to match the output of the source unit. The Gain Controls are adjusted with a flat-head screwdriver and can be set between 0 and 11. Input Level: The input level control is switchable; when set to Low, the amp can accommodate a line level input signal of 125mV-5V, on High, the amp will accept a 250mV-10V speaker level signal. Auto Turn-On: The Auto Turn-On switch offers three options: +12 V: the amp turns on when +12 volts is applied to the remote terminal DC Offset: the amp turns on when a 6 volt surge is detected on the signal inputs (from a speaker level source); in this mode the amp's remote terminal acts as a +12 volt output to turn on another component Audio: the amp turns on when an incoming audio signal is detected; in this mode the amp's remote terminal acts as a +12 volt output to turn on another component Low Pass Filter: The DX1000.1 is equipped with a low-pass electronic crossover; the crossover point is continuously variable from 50 Hz to 200 Hz and the slope is 18dB per octave. Properly set, the low pass filter creates a smooth transition between the subwoofer and the sound system's full-range speakers. Subsonic Filter: Frequencies that cannot be reproduced by the subwoofer do not become sound, but unnecessary oscillations causing distortion; these frequencies also waste amplifier power and can damage speakers. The subsonic filter removes the frequencies below the crossover point to improve the performance of the speakers by eliminating this harmful distortion. The 18 dB/octave subsonic filter's crossover point is continuously variable from 10 to 30 Hz. KICKEQBass Boost: When you want more bass from the amplifier, you can adjust the Bass Boost circuit. The bass boost is centered at 40 Hz and is continuously variable from 0 to +12dB. Connections Left Side of Amplifier: +12V (power): set screw terminal; accepts up to 4-gauge wire; the included 3mm Allen wrench is required to tighten/loosen the terminal REM (remote turn-on): set screw terminal; accepts up to 8-gauge wire; the included 3mm Allen wrench is required to tighten/loosen the terminal GND (ground): set screw terminal; accepts up to 4-gauge wire; the included 3mm Allen wrench is required to tighten/loosen the terminal Speaker Outputs: one pair of set screw terminals; accepts up to 8-gauge wire; the included 3mm Allen wrench is required to tighten/loosen the terminals Fuses: three 30-amp ATO fuses (factory installed) Right Side of Amplifier: RCA Input: one pair of RCA input jacks RCA Output: one pair of RCA input jacks (the amplifier's crossovers have no effect on the line level output signal) Warranty Extended Warranty: Kicker will add a year to the standard two year warranty (for a total of three years) when any matching Kicker amplifier wiring kit is used with this amp (4 gauge minimum).

Yes | No 1 question already asked Does the protect light come on when it gets to beating really hard because mine does? [ TonyL Jan 18, 2014 ] 5 answers Tony - I've never had the protect light come on in mine. Do you have sufficient area surrounding amp to get good ventilation? Are you trying to drive too big of a speaker? Both of these factors will push the protect light to come on. [ JIMMY Jan 20, 2014 ] Yes, my protection light comes on when it hits hard as well. [ SEAN Jan 19, 2014 ] mine has never. what is happening is you may be pushing to hard to your sub. your sub should be less powerful then your amp so your amp isnt "overloaded". if this is the case you can bridge it to another amp to split the energy. i have 1 JL 12" sub thats about 800 watts. since this is 1000, it never hits full potential keeping the amp lasting longer. also, your wiring may not be rated high enough for the output. check if the gauge is thick enough. [ CHRISTOPHER J Jan 19, 2014 ] I haven't noticed it if it does, [ TYRONE Jan 19, 2014 ] light turns on for me if I have the volume cranked. I find it is a pretty good indicator off when you are going" too loud."

Hi, I just recently aquired an old Martin Firecat (Pro-X) Pro-series 4400 XR . It has recurve like limbs and nice machined aluminum riser. I think it may be a target bow... I took it down to he local archery shop to get the pull adjusted to 48lbs and the guys there were amazed at the quality. They told me I should enquire about it here since they do not want to see a very nice bow go to waste (was planning on using it for bowfishing). They said it may be worth something. Was wondering if you guys could give me any info on the bow or possible value, as I may want to sell and pick up a more functional hunting bow. Click the thumbnails to get a larger pic. Sorry for some of the blurry pics, my digital camera is really old and crappy...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can take more pictures if that would help in identification...

Candidates have been identified, advancing the process of selecting rosters to represent Canada and the United States at the 2010 World Junior Championship, which begins Dec. 26 in Saskatchewan.
Canada, which won the gold medal in the 2009 tournament, has asked seven players from that team to attend camp, which begins Dec. 12 in Regina. Hockey Canada, in a release, states that the organization is not ruling out making additions, and perhaps subtractions, to this list before the start of camp.
The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League and Western Hockey League are contributing the bulk of the candidates, with players also coming from the National Hockey League and the college ranks in the United States.
Hockey Canada said that the St. Louis Blues had agreed to loan defenseman Alex Pietrangelo for the tryout camp and the tournament. Canada's three candidates from the college ranks are defenseman Dylan Olsen, from Minnesota-Duluth; forward Louis Leblanc, from Harvard; and defenseman Patrick Wiercioch, from the University of Denver.
Returning for another shot at gold are Ryan Ellis (defenseman, Windsor, O.H.L.), Colten Teubert (defenseman, Regina, W.H.L.), Patrice Cormier (forward, Rimouski, Q.M.J.H.L.), Stefan Della Rovere (Barrie, O.H.L.), Jordan Eberle (forward, Regina, W.H.L.), Cody Hodgson (forward, Brampton, O.H.L.) and Pietrangelo.
The United States, which finished fifth in the 2009 tournament, has three candidates on the roster back for another shot at a medal. The roster has 15 candidates from the collegiate ranks, with one player, defenseman John Carlson, coming from the American Hockey League and the rest from the junior ranks, both in the United States and in Canada.

Cook: Advantage Membership makes sense
Countdown to Advantage Membership: Five days.
Publisher Greg Anderson recently announced that the Post will switch to a membership model on Sunday. This makes so much sense, we're wondering why we didn't do it sooner.
Salisbury Post subscribers will continue to get a paper delivered to your home seven days a week. No changes there. But, if you choose to also register online for an Advantage Membership at no extra charge, you'll have access to all our digital products and receive other benefits.
If you're strictly an online reader, you'll be able to see five articles a month for free, along with unlimited views of obituaries, celebrations and classified ads. To see more stories and comment on them, you'll have to pay for a digital-only membership.
Why charge, you ask? Why now?
For many years reporting news online was uncharted territory for the Salisbury Post and thousands of other papers. We were learning every step of the way, and we plan to continue to do so. But one thing we've figured out conclusively is that — for our news organizations at least — content is too valuable to simply give away.
This will be a "no, duh," moment for a lot of readers. You've been asking us why we keep letting people read our news free online while charging for the printed newspaper.
Others will be less receptive. Perhaps you've gotten used to free access, believe that's the way the Internet should work and have no intention of paying for news. Some of you have told us exactly that in online comments, saying you won't be reading the Post online anymore. You'll get your news elsewhere. I hope you'll change your mind.
If you want daily news about Rowan County — from government coverage to features to sports, business news and more — the Salisbury Post is the place to get it.
This may come as a shock: Newspapers are businesses, and businesses need to make money. We've been encouraged to see traffic on our website grow through the years. But the people who write the stories and shoot the photos on the site don't work for free. Nor do the power company, computer manufacturers or content management systems.
Much like book publishers who produce e-books, we've learned that making content available digitally may seem simple on the surface, but costs are involved.
About 33 percent of the 1,380 daily newspapers in this country "have started or announced plans for some kind of paid content subscription or paywall plan," according to the Pew Research Center for Excellence in Journalism. One media observer, Poynter's Rick Edmonds, has called these plans "the industry's biggest success story of the last several years."
Many people who use newspaper websites are print subscribers already. You read the paper at home but like to check the latest headlines throughout the day. If someone at work mentions a story you missed, you can look it up on our website. If you're doing research about local history or politics, our online archive is a priceless resource.
And many subscribers have told us they like keeping up with local news while on vacation by checking our website or mobile app.
How you read your news is a matter of personal choice, much like the way you choose to bank — teller, ATM, online, mobile app. For paying customers, we'll do our best to provide our stories and photos the way you want as readers' habits evolve.
I'll close with a message Publisher Anderson posted online Monday, in response to readers' praise and pans:
"Thanks to all for your comments, and thank you to those who have already activated your Advantage Membership or digital subscription. I realize some folks will see this change as negative, but I also appreciate you caring enough to comment. As others have pointed out, we are late to make this change. I'm confident that asking a fair price for our hard work will strengthen us for the future."
Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.
