Bruce Arians would love to have another Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger or Andrew Luck waiting for him with the Arizona Cardinals. He doesn't. I don't think that'll slow him down.
Arians' decision to take the Cardinals head coaching job is a big loss for the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts leaned on Arians as offensive coordinator and interim coach through Colts coach Chuck Pagano's leukemia fight. He kept the team together and taught Luck the ways of NFL quarterbacking with an insight and background few possess.
A tough chore lies ahead for Arians, but this is his chance to run the show, on his own, and he's up for the challenge.
Arians was hired as coach of the Cardinals on Thursday, filling the last vacancy left in the NFL. I thought he'd be a great fit in Chicago, with Jay Cutler ready to be pushed to another level. The Bears went with another seasoned but first-time head coach Marc Trestman.
On the surface, the Cardinals lack what Arians loves most – a franchise quarterback who can sling it. They have Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and Ryan Lindley. Put them together and you've got about half a Roethlisberger.
But Arians proved this past season with the Colts he's not afraid of long odds or formidable obstacles. It was Arians who pulled the Colts together when Pagano went on medical leave three games into the season. He coached the team to nine wins and a playoff berth. This was the same team ranked No.32 in preseason power polls, a slight burned into their motivational t-shirts and psyches.
Colts outside linebacker Robert Mathis expressed his appreciation for Arians in a Twitter message Thursday directed at Arizona players, saying they will love Arians: "He will make u run thru a wall, then cuss the wall out for scuffing your shoes."
There's some building to be done in Arizona, where the Cardinals hold the seventh pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. There are many holes to fill. The team started 4-0 in 2012, opening with wins over the Seahawks, Patriots and Eagles. Yet the Cardinals finished 5-11 and coach Ken Whisenhunt was finished, too.
Arians inherits wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and, as Reggie Wayne can attest, he'll try to find a way to get the best receiver the ball.
The question is whether Arians will transform one of the current Cardinals quarterbacks or whether Arizona moves to someone else. This is a thin college crop of quarterbacks. There's no Luck, no Robert Griffin III, no Russell Wilson. There might not even be a Brandon Weeden.
Surely the Cardinals will try to find some way to upgrade at quarterback. I know this: Arians will make the ultimate starting quarterback better with his knowledge and ability to teach the position. He taught Manning, Roethlisberger and Luck as rookies. They seemed to thrive, to put it mildly.
He'll be inventive with the offense, too. Even though he told Arizona reporters he will hire an offensive coordinator, he wants to call the plays. The offensive chess match is in his blood.
If Kolb, Skelton or Lindley can throw the long ball, they'll get the chance.
This isn't the perfect job for Arians, but it is likely his last chance to be a head coach. He's 60, and most teams shy away from first-time coaches at that age. A combination of Arians' skills and Arizona's urgency to find their man no doubt conspired to create the hiring.
Arians enters this unknown territory eager to prove he can handle the job. He was caretaker and team counselor as much as coach for the Colts while Pagano was out.
Arians' interim role with the Colts gave him invaluable on-the-clock training. He passed all the tests. The loyalty of his players, as shown by Mathis' tweet and similar ones from others, testify to his ability to relate to much younger players.
Arians knows what it takes to oversee a 53-man squad, and motivate every last one to deliver the goods no matter how much or how little they play.
It would be easier for Arians to transform the Cardinals if he had a Manning, Roethlisberger or Luck. He doesn't have one of those, and maybe he can't even create a facsimile from the existing candidates. But if anyone can, he can.

Dreamcatcher (See Jane Wear....and Forward On)
41 comments
I've been after a vest with a collar like that for the last few months- so sad that this one is sold out because it looks perfect! I totally love how you styled the two very typically boho pieces with your everyday pieces: the result is nothing less than effortless and perfectly appropriate city wear.ReplyDelete
Have a great week!
i love how you styled it! the necklace is gorgeous :)ReplyDelete
Fashion Fractions
This is so gorgeous! You are totally right about the ability of ANYONE to incorporate what seems like an outrageous piece into their wardrobe; its all about creating a balance, and you do that amazingly well with this outfit :). Love it!ReplyDelete
Really like how you styled the necklace. You seamlessly weaved (lol) the necklace into attire that would make it corporate/business appropriate!ReplyDelete
Great look.. I'm especially taken with the boots! So chic and utilitarian :)ReplyDelete
Brilliant necklace - I would attach a feather or two though ;)ReplyDelete

I got into hobbyist Python programming some years ago on a whim, having never programmed before other than BASIC way back when, and little by little have cobbled together a, in my opinion, nice little desktop application that I might try to get out there in some fashion someday. It's roughly 15,000 logical lines of code, and includes use of Python, wxPython, SQLite, and a number of other libraries, works on Win and Linux (maybe Mac, untested) and I've gotten some good feedback about the application's virtues from non-programmer friends. I've also done a small application for data collection for animal behavior experiments, and an ad hoc tool to help generate a web page...and I've authored some tutorials. I consider my Python skills to be appreciably limited, my SQL skills to be very limited, but I'm not totally out to sea, either (e.g. I did FizzBuzz in a few minutes, did a "Monty Hall Dilemma" simulator in some minutes, etc.). I also put a strong premium on quality user experience; that is, the look and feel matters much to me and the software looks quite good, I feel. I know no other programming languages yet.
I also know the basics of HTML/CSS (not considering them programming languages) and have created an artist's web page (that was described by a friend as "incredibly slick"...it's really not, though), and have a scientific background.
I'm curious: Aside from directly selling my software, what's roughly possible--if anything--in terms of earning either side money on gigs, or actually getting hired at some level in the software industry, for someone with this general skill set?

WOONSOCKET – The police department will utilize a new communications service that allows police personnel to send important, valuable community information directly to residents.
The Nixle Community Information Service allows police to create and publish messages to be delivered to subscribed residents instantly via cell phone text message and/or email. Notifications can also be accessed online at Nixle's web site at www.nixle.com [2].
Messages may include missing persons, parking bans and traffic advisories as well as other relevant safety and community event information, accorinding to a press released from police spokesperson Det. Jamie Paone.
The service is secure, reliable and easy to use, Paone said.
The messages can be sent specifically to residents registered within a quarter-mile radius, giving them the opportunity to receive trustworthy information relevant only to their neighborhood. Residents decide from which local agencies they want to receive information. Subscribers can also choose the way in which alerts are received, whether it is by email, text message, or over the web.
Nixle builds on the foundations of other public-to-public communication services, such as Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace, but adds a key component: security. When citizens receive information from Woonsocket police via Nixle, they know it can be trusted.
Residents of Woonsocket and those in neighboring communities can immediately begin receiving pertinent information via text message, email, and web by registering at www.nixle.com [2].

Interpretive Handbook
82965 :
Proteinase 3 Antibodies, IgG, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Proteinase 3 (PR3) antigen is a 29kD serine protease that exists as a protein triplet in human neutrophils.
Wegener granulomatosis (WG) is an autoimmune vasculitis that affects the kidneys and lungs, as well as other organs. Patients with WG develop autoantibodies to the PR3 antigen of myeloid lysosomes (PR3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies [PR3 ANCA]).(1)
Since it is often impossible to distinguish between WG and other forms of vasculitis on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms, tests for PR3 ANCA should be employed with other serologic tests in the initial diagnostic evaluation of patients with clinical features of vasculitis (eg, VASC / Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum).
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients suspected of having Wegener granulomatosis (WG)
Distinguishing between WG and other forms of vasculitis, in conjunction with MPO / Myeloperoxidase Antibodies, IgG, Serum and ANCA / Cytoplasmic Neutrophil Antibodies, Serum (may be obtained as VASC / Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum)
May be useful to follow treatment response or to monitor disease activity in patients with myeloperoxidase antibodies
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (PR3 ANCA) are detectable in nearly all patients with severe active Wegener granulomatosis (WG).(2) The presence of PR3 ANCA is a specific diagnostic indicator of WG; <2% of positive results occur in patients who do not have the disease.(3,4)
A negative result for PR3 ANCA diminishes the likelihood that a patient has active WG; but, approximately 20% of patients with limited WG may test negative for PR3 ANCA.(3)
The levels of PR3 ANCA often decline following successful treatment of patients with WG. Nevertheless, follow-up testing for PR3 ANCA to evaluate clinical status in treated patients should be used with caution as the levels of antibodies may correlate poorly with clinical status in some patients.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
While the presence of proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (PR3 ANCA) is highly specific for Wegener granulomatosis (WG), it is recommended that positive test results obtained by immunoassay be confirmed by another testing method.(4) This is best accomplished by testing for cytoplasmic ANCA (cANCA) and perinuclear ANCA (pANCA) by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy (ANCA / Cytoplasmic Neutrophil Antibodies, Serum). Alternately, VASC / Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies Vasculitis Panel, Serum includes tests for PR3 ANCA, myeloperoxidase antibodies, and, if indicated, cANCA and pANCA. This panel is recommended for the initial diagnostic evaluation of patients clinically suspected of having systemic vasculitis. Simultaneous presence of PR3 ANCA and cANCA has a specificity >99% for WG.(3)
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<0.4 U (negative)
0.4-0.9 U (equivocal)
> or =1.0 U (positive)

Two Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service firefighters have been placed on routine administrative leave after their $1.5 million ladder truck became stranded in a creek during a rescue on June 10.
According to a Fire and Rescue Service press release, fire and rescue personnel were responding to a report of a car stuck in flood waters near West Baltimore Road in the Ten-Mile Creek area of Clarksburg at about 6:30 p.m.
As they were arriving at the scene, the fire crew encountered the people who had originally been trapped in the car. They got out on their own and told the firefighters there was no one else in the car.
The ladder truck continued toward the stranded vehicle to make sure there was no one else in the car, according to the MCFRS statement.
"They confirmed that there were no persons in the vehicle and the crew proceeded to drive across the [ford]. The [truck] became stranded. The crew attempted to free the truck but was unsuccessful. The crew ultimately had to abandon the truck due to rapidly rising water and concern for their own personal safety," the statement said.
No one was injured, the statement said.
The truck was later towed out of the waters and taken to the MCFRS motor fleet section to be inspected and repaired.
There were three people in the truck during the incident, according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Assistant Chief Scott Graham, who declined to discuss details about what disciplinary actions the two firefighters could face or to identify them.
He said the truck is a 100-foot aerial platform that has "all steer capability," meaning its rear wheels turn independently of the front wheels with the help of a computer system.
A fully equipped fire truck of that type runs about $1.5 million, Graham said.
"[Fire trucks] are rugged, but water and electronics ... that's our concern. That's why its being evaluated, to see the extent of the damage and potential damage," he said.
Due to the nature of the work firefighters do, their trucks suffer minor damage frequently, he said.
"Something to this magnitude ... I can't remember an incident like this in my career," he said.

For years, every time you do a gallery of photos like this, there is never a narrative to go with the photo. Is it so hard to do? Maybe you should transfer to Funcoast under the heading of Guess What This Is? Make it a game to win a prize. Geeeeeez!

Hennessy Hammock Ultralight Backpacker Asym
Where to Buy

Source: I bought it new at Trail Days, at a special event price
Perfect for the solo backpacker in areas where there are lots of trees. Most comfortable sleep this side sleeper has had in the outdoors.
- Light
- Easy setup
- Extraordinary comfort
- Don't need a flat spot, just two trees.
- Bit of a learning curve
- Need to invest in specialized insulation
- Limited to those < 6' and 200lbs
I had been hiking the Appalachian Trail, in long sections, using a lightweight solo backpacking tent. I came to realize that there are no flat tent sites in the mountains. Maybe a bit of an overstatement, but I often woke up to find myself bunched up in one corner or another of my tent, my old hips hurting from side-sleeping on the ground.
I began to see these hammocks, purpose built for backpacking. The asymmetrical design allows one to lay a bit on a diagonal, and flat! Side sleeping is absolutely not a problem (and your hip bone won't be grinding into the ground.) They have integrated bug netting held overhead by a ridgeline, and a tarp over the whole thing for inclement weather. Hang it from the right height, and it is the ultimate camp chair
They do need insulation underneath. A sleeping bag provides almost no insulation underneath you once you've compressed the insulation. True on the ground as well as in a hammock. There are many options, but the trick setup is to have an "underquilt" suspended under the hammock, and snugged up to the feet and sides, and a top quilt, or sleeping bag inside the hammock.
I hiked into Trail Days in Damascus to find Hennessy Hammock, Jacks R Better Tarps, and Dutchware set up together in the vendor area. I bought the Ultralight Backpacker Asym Zip, had some simple modifications done by Dutchware to be able to rig the tarp separately, and bought an underquilt from Jacks 'R' Better. I downloaded the kindle version of "The Ultimate Hang: An Illustrated Guide To Hammock Camping" by Derek J Hansen to my smartphone, read it twice, practiced hanging the hammock a couple of times, and mailed my tent home.
My first nights back on the trail provided me with raging thunderstorms. I stayed dry, and learned a bit about tarp camping in the process. I had previously replaced my sleeping bag with a HammockGear top quilt to lighten my load, and together with the underquilt, I was warm, dry and comfortable. Within a couple of days, I was hanging my hammock as quickly as I had ever pitched my tent. The hammock and tarp pack down to roughly the size of my tent, and the quilts together packdown to the size of my equivalent temp-rated sleeping bag.
The Hennessy Hammock Ultralight Backpacker Asym is excellent out of the box with appropriate insulation. It is definitely built for one. Hennessy specifies a max weight of 200 lbs. It serves well as the basis of a modular system of tarps and quilts to provide year-round backpacking comfort. And there is a robust online community of owners, and of cottage-industry manufacturers, to help you achieve whatever goal you have in mind.
I subsequently hiked 438 miles with this system, with no apparent wear or failures. I ultimately purchased a new, lighter tarp, with greater coverage from HammockGear. When I get back on the trail this spring, I will be packing my Hennessy Hammock.
Great review. I'm a fan of hammock sleeping, but even more so when it's big enough for two, so my wife and I can snuggle. Is there enough room for two in this hammock or is it built for one only? If it does fit two, do you think the tarp and bug netting would still cover adequately? Thanks.

KK, you're sleeping 2 to a hammock at night? I don't think I could get any sleep that way. I've napped with my kids a couple of times, but otherwise, I need my space.

Thanks Bill. Good to know. Goose, the biggest obstacle for my wife and I to sleep overnight in the hammock isn't lack of space, it's temperature. I like it cold, she likes it warm, so the temp has to be just right. Otherwise, it's a good night's rest.

I spent some time in the Yucatan where I observed whole families sleeping in hammocks together...they really are better than beds for the hot, humid conditions found there. I slept in one of these Mexican hammocks solo for 3 weeks straight no problem but I have never found my Hennessey to be quite as comfortable...still getting the hang of it I guess. Also, since I started using a neoair xlite thermarest, most of my ground ailments have dissipated. But still, I am determined to master this hammock for the instances where nothing else will serve...next challenge is to overnight inside a cypress dome with the alligators and pythons...a good reason to be off the ground :)

The Hennessey Hammock Ultralight Backpacker Asym is…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $200
The Hennessey Hammock Ultralight Backpacker Asym is a high quality shelter that will help you cut significant weight from your gear load.
- highly functional
- comfortable
- high quality
- light weight
- compact
- cooler than a tent
- slightly tedious setup
- standard fly is a bit small
I have used the Hennessey for a couple of summers and I find that my summer pack is much lighter without sacrificing comfort.
This particular model will hold about 200 lbs capacity. It fits my 5' 9" frame, with room to spare. I find it a bit amazing because the suspension ropes are less than 1/4" in diameter yet are super strong and do not appear to stretch much at all.
The kit comes with a nifty stuff sack with instructions printed on the side, two 1" wide nylon tree straps, a silnylon fly and a silnylon and net body. The hammock body contains full bug net suspended by a ridge line that creates a nicely shaped cocoon suspended off the ground. The whole thing weighs less than two pounds.
I have added two stakes, and two longer 6' straps for grabbing those bigger diameter trees you find in mature NC forests. There is also a convenient 3 compartment net pocket that is suspended on the ridgeline, and a couple of mitten hooks for hanging stuff.
Outside, the asymetrical fly is mounted using rings and mitten hooks on each end secured to the tent body by prussick knots. This system is ingeniously simple and very effective. The sides of the tent body can be staked to the ground or attached to the fly via two small shock cords. This helps the hammock maintain its shape and keeps the sides of the netting off your face while you are blissfully rocking in the breeze. The fly can be configured many different ways depending on the weather condidions.
This shelter has a great deal of versatility. I like the fact that I can leave my sleeping pad at home, and still use the hammock for a comfy bed, a comfy chair and even a nice lounge. When you do not feel like crawling in through the bottom, you can just lie on top of the netting. I find the hammock particularly comfortable to sit in while you are watching your food cook, or just enjoying the scenery. Even though I have slept in this hammock numerous times I am always pleasantly suprised at how comfortable this thing is after a long day of hiking.
Some considerations:
- Back or side sleepers will be quite comfortable, the hammock design allows for one to lie diagonally across the beam for an almost flat position. Stomach sleepers will probably not find this arrangement comfortable.
- Weather protection with the standard fly is adequate, but requires very careful alignment if you want maximum weather protection. You can acquire a larger fly from Hennessey but this means more weight and expense. I am planning to experiment with a Kelty Noah's Tarp 9 that is a similar shape but a bit larger and heavier than the standard fly.
- Set up can be made much quicker, if you add one of the many available after-market straps that allow for quick tensioning without having to use multiple lashing knots. Personally I prefer the knots, due to the weight concerns. If I were to keep adding accessories, then the weight savings would be diminished.
- Some hardy souls will gladly hang their hammocks in the dead of winter using special quilts and under-pinning. I am not one of these individuals. I use this tent strictly in warm weather and it excels in these conditions. The ventilation and comfort are far superior to a tent on those sultry summer nights.
Practice setting up at home is highly recommended before venturing out on your hiking trip. This hammock has provided me many nights of comfort both in camp and on my back (due to significant weight savings). With some care in setup you can sleep comfortably in heavy rain suspended above the wet ground.
One accessory you may want to consider that I have not tried yet are sleeves that contain your hammock called Snake Skins. These "socks for your hammock" slide over the entire tent and fly containing it in a conveniently slim package that you can quickly pack. Very advantageous in bad weather.
In summary my Hennessey Hammock has provided me some really good nights of sleep out on the trail and the weight savings has been wonderful. I can leave my tent, and my sleeping pad at home, in my case, netting me a 3 lb savings right off the top. One caveat, though, if you are planning on heavy weather I strongly recommend a bigger fly.
I purchased this hammock for my 2008 Southbound thru…
Design: three season, can purchase a hammock quilt to make it 4 season.
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: super easy
Weight: 1lb, 15oz.
Price Paid: $189.95
I purchased this hammock for my 2008 Southbound thru hike on the Appalachian Trail. I liked the price. Not sure what to expect but in hindsight I must say it was the best purchase I had made in years.
Setting up this hammock is a breeze. Tie each end of the hammock to included straps that go around the trees and put four stakes into the ground (two for hammock lines so you dont sway in windy conditions, and two for the hammock rainfly.
This hammock will make you into a stealth ninja (hahaha) - you can set it up anywhere there are two trees with distance enough to fit the hammock length. I have set up on the side of mountains, on top of mountains at alpine level (not recommended), in fierce rain/lightning storms, etc. - this hammock has held up through all.
The comfort level depends on each individual. It does take a couple of sleeps in it to get used to the hammock but once that's taken care of it's great.
The rainfly is made out of some really good slippery stuff that rolls rain right off it..this is a big plus.
The hammock itself has bug netting on the top portion so on nice evenings the hammock rainfly isnt needed. I found the bug netting to be 100% bug proof. The rainfly can be drapped down on each side of the hammock if wanted for privacy and/or in a bad rainstorm.
It's been a few years since I summited Springer and I still take this hammock out on the trail every chance I get. After hundreds of uses it's still in as good a shape as when I purchased it. I'd give it ten stars if I could. The Hennessy website gives in depth details on the hammock (including sizing choices) and shows you how to tie the hammock ends.
-Use a pad (Thermarest or whatever) under your sleeping bag for more stablization and comfort. Cold wind will pick up at times and you will want the pad between your sleeping bag and the hammock.
-I used two D-rings clipped onto the tree straps for even faster setup.
Make sure you use a strong brand or they will bend.
-Get snake skins for the hammock (they used to give them away free with purchase). It keeps the hammock dry until you are ready to use it. The snake skins are just protective covers for the hammock. See website for details.
Thanks SweetPea36. Best of luck on your hiking adventures. I still use the same hammock :) today (2014). I used it in 2011 for the whole Long Trail in Vermont (Southern Vermont to Canada). I have picked up a tent now but I will always keep my hammock nearby!! Happy Trails.

Hennessy is of the elite of hammocks.
- Good quality
- Versatility
- Side zipper option
Having slept in a Mexican hammock for a few weeks straight on vacation once, I figured that I could tolerate one as a shelter. It is a tough call whether a hammock will work for you or not, it all boils down to trying it. I am generally a side or stomach sleeper, so it has been an adjustment for me.
After a lot of reading, I went with the Hennessy Ultralight with a zipper, because of its reputation and features. By the way, the hammock forums (google it) will tell you all you ever need to know about hammocks. There is even a book on hammock camping.
The zipper is a newer feature and one that was kind of a deal breaker for me...I waited for a bit until Hennessy finally started making these, as opposed to the bottom opening. But it does make it a bit difficult getting in sometimes, mainly because you have to hang the hammock pretty high at first to account for the stretch in the cords. If you don't start out high enough, your bottom just may end up brushing the ground.
So when getting into the hammock from the side, sometimes you have to almost do a high jump maneuver (I'm exaggerating a bit, but maybe you see what I mean.) And you also have to consider the opening side when you hang the hammock...upslope as opposed to downslope would be preferable, but I've never had the opportunity to camp on a slope just yet. I admit, I have a lot to still learn about my hammock.
I have used it only in Florida so far but the very first night I used it, the temp dropped to 38 degrees! I used a Therm-a-Rest, a reflective sunscreen for a car, and a 30-degree down bag, and I was just warm enough..thank goodness there wasn't any wind. On another night, I was too cold in my 40 degree bag, and I don't think it got below 55. I didn't consider buying the supershelter mainly because I don't anticipate using it in very cold weather.
Others have pretty much said all there is to say....again, the hammock forums will answer all your questions. I look forward to using my hammock a lot more this next winter in Florida to really get a feel for it and will update my review then.
I bought this on a whim, saw it on display and read…
Design: 3-4 season
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: It is easy in the forest a little tougher in the desert.
Weight: With skins and pegs weighs in at about 2lbs.
Price Paid: $145
I bought this on a whim, saw it on display and read the "how to and why for" and thought that it might be nice to relax in, providing I could find two hard points far enough apart. I have since made it a permanent part of my backpack. It is great in all but the worst condition, I'd guess that to be a raging blizzard. It is great for solo hiking or even on a fishing trip when you don't want to listen to a campmate snore thru the night.
It sets up quick and is comfortable to the extreme. I use my light pad in it to ward off the cold from below and a bag for the season. The way it sets up it keeps me at a very comfortable angle and I sleep very well and wake up very refreshed. Better than sleeping on the ground by a long shot.
The only complaint I had is that the first time I set it up I didn't get the knot right and I landed rather abruptly on my butt. Hasn't happened since. I do recommend the snake skins, they make stowing the thing very easy.

Design: Hammock with rain fly
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: Easy
Weight: 1.5 lbs.
Price Paid: $157
I found this product by searching for a bivy sac on the web. I liked the idea and the price so I ordered one over the internet.
I spent two rainy nights in the Catskills and it workded like a dream. I loved the way you can tie off the hammock to one side and use the fly as a cooking shelter. The weight and little room that it takes in the pack, (it packs smaller than a loaf of bread), makes this an easy choice for three season packing in the Northeast. I brought a light opencelled pad and I was toasty at night in my bag. Getting in and out to pee took a little getting used to as you enter through the bottom and with the pad and the bag inside, it takes some manuvering bu I have it down now. I just quarter fold the bottom half of the pad and push the bad up to the head and get in. the I smooth out the pad. Then I pull the bag onto my feet and pull it on up. I experimented by draping my rain poncho over one end and created additional space out of the rain to stow my pack for the night.
Overall, the weight savings make using this as a replacement for a tent a snap. It's even lighter than a bivy and I can set it up anywhere I can find two trees close enough together no matter the terrain. And who can beat the price. That Tom Hennessey is one smart fella.

Source: received it as a personal gift
Just hanging about.
- quick set-up
- light weight
- small packed size
- no ground leveling needed
- can be set-up on ground
- could be a little longer
- fly would be better if a little bigger
- interior line clips should clamp on so as not to slide
Pretty simple unit and a good hammock system.
Sets up in a couple of minutes, best to test at home, know best tie-up spacing, not hard at all. Watch Hennessy setup video.
Stable as much as a hammock can be. Actually pretty darn good once you are in, easy to get in, don't hang too high lower (still off the ground) is better.
Weather resistance, be aware as to where the wind/rain may come from as fly is asymmetrical and possibly slide the fly slightly towards the weather side.
Ventilation is good. If too hot make fly tie higher, if cold make fly tie lower, even open the zip if no bugs.
Room & Storage: it's a hammock duh.
Pack-ability: very small and easy, just stuff it in the bag.
Ease of use: very easy.
Features: simplicity. Has a small double pocket and two clips inside on interior line.
Construction& durability: Seems OK.

Price Paid: $496 new for entire setup--hammock, insulation, tarp and skins
I own the Ultralight Backpacker Asym with the Supershelter insulation system, Snakeskins quick-setup covers, and silnylon 30D Hex Tarp.
I ordered the setup for solo fastpacking in the Rockies, and it's been extremely impressive. Some of my major trekking issues—weight, aches from ground sleeping, cold sleep, and storm protection—are now only an issue when I go above treeline.
My first overnight test run started on a sunny March afternoon, but by the time I slogged into my campsite 10 miles out, hail was bouncing off my head. I whipped out the hex tarp, tied it up, got underneath to hang the insulated hammock, and snugged in. Within twenty minutes, snow was howling down at a 45-degree angle, and within the hour, it was near-horizontal.
I only had a twenty-degree down bag, and since I sleep really cold, I figured I was in for an ugly night—maybe a dangerous one, if meltwater leaked onto my down. Ha! I was totally toasty—it was like being in a 70-degree room.
By dawn, there was nearly two feet of snow on the ground, but I felt great—no aches, I had comfortably side-slept, and I was warm. And, when I called Hennessy the next day to ask about why my head had been weirdly pressed against the hammock's back wall, the owner himself called back to puzzle it out with me and give me the right fix (I needed to hang the foot higher).
I've had some of my best trips in this setup. I only wish I could use it above treeline, and with a partner. And that I didn't look like a burrito on a string for mountain lions, but what the heck—at least I'm not at serving-height, like I would be in a bivvy.
- Definitely get the Supershelter insulation system or use a sleeping pad inside the hammock—otherwise you can get as cold as sleeping on the ground without a pad.
- Because you don't have a lot of extra room, pack the rest of your gear small if you have a chance of windy precipitation—you can put gear in the hammock with you or outside under the hammock, but it doesn't provide a lot of shelter.
- Practice hanging it in your backyard a number of times before going out. It's easy once you figure it out, but it's best to be in practice.
- You probably won't sleep much the first time you use it, because it takes your body at least a night to get used to sleeping in motion.
Been thinking about going to a hammock for solo trips. Been looking between Hennessy and Clark. If you have any pictures of your Hennessy in use, I would love to see them. Great review btw!

When camping below the treeline, there's a better way. Ditch the tent and give a hammock a try.
- Lightweight
- Doesn't require level ground to pitch
- Can be used as a chair
- Can be cold as temps drop
This is the BEST shelter I have ever used. I use to look for a flat spot to pitch a tent. Those days are over! My last hike I camped on hillsides, over rocks, and next to some of the most beautiful scenery on the trail. You'll never again have to keep hiking while looking for a good spot to camp...now they are ALL good spots!
I've found the Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest closed cell foam pad placed inside the hammock is a great way to insulate yourself on cold nights. I use the large RidgeRest, which is five inches wider than the regular size and has a great R-rating. Also, using an inflatable neck pillow is a comfortable support for your head and neck.

Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: The easiest set up I've ever dealt with
I find my Hennessy hammock to provide a more comfortable night sleep than my bed. The hammock is great for spring summer or fall but is especially nice on warm summer nights!I have slept comfortably through plenty of extreme weather such as snow, rain, sleet, and winds.
Hammock camping completely ends the necessity for flat ground so camping spots are exceptionally easy to find even in steep or rugged terrain.
After five years of using my Hennessy hammock I have had little to no issues. I have used it for everything from bike touring to thru-hiking and could not have been happier.

Myocardial infarction and uremia reduce the rate of clearance and increase the half-life of mexiletine, requiring dosage adjustment guided by drug monitoring.
Mexiletine toxicity occurs at concentrations >2.0 mcg/mL (trough value) and is characterized by symptoms of nausea, hypotension, sinus bradycardia, paresthesia, seizures, intermittent left bundle branch block, and temporary asystole.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Therapeutic concentration: 0.8-2.0 mcg/mL (trough value)
Toxic concentration: >2.0 mcg/mL (trough value)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Optimal response to mexiletine occurs when the serum concentration is within the range of 0.8 to 2.0 mcg/mL (trough value).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Reviews for Apricot Honey Chicken
Sort By :
"I thought this was really good, quick and easy. I made the chicken with the potato dish on the same page which I did not really like. Next time I will serve the chicken breasts over plain white rice with broccoli or asparagus on the side."
"We marinated this overnight and this came out so good and not dry. If you have leftovers keep some of the sauce so it doesn't dry out the next time you eat it."
"Quick & easy"
"This was disgustingly sweet. I was able to fix it (didn't want to throw it out and be wasteful). I sort of made it into a spicy apricot sauce instead. I cut up this chicken into smaller bites, added some onions and red pepper to suck some up some of the sweetness. I added some red pepper spices and a little bit of hot sauce. It was better that way, but nothing like the original recipe. I would NOT recommend this recipe at all. I don't even mind sweetness with chicken usually, but this was not edible."
"my kids didn't really like it...it was OK, but they pushed aside the sauce"

Charlie Sykes: Sykes Writes
Tax the rich! A 62% Tax Rate?
Should the government take nearly 2/3 of everything you make?
That appears to be the democrat agenda, as Stephen Moore points out in today's Wall Street Journal.
Media reports in recent weeks say that Senate Democrats are considering a 3% surtax on income over $1 million to raise federal revenues. This would come on top of the higher income tax rates that President Obama has already proposed through the cancellation of the Bush era tax-rate reductions.
If the Democrats' millionaire surtax were to happen—and were added to other tax increases already enacted last year and other leading tax hike ideas on the table this year—this could leave the U.S. with a combined federal and state top tax rate on earnings of 62%. That's more than double the highest federal marginal rate of 28% when President Reagan left office in 1989. Welcome back to the 1970s.
Here's the math behind that depressing calculation. Today's top federal income tax rate is 35%. Almost all Democrats in Washington want to repeal the Bush tax cuts on those who make more than $250,000 and phase out certain deductions, so the effective income tax rate would rise to about 41.5%. The 3% millionaire surtax raises that rate to 44.5%.
But payroll taxes, which are income taxes on wages and salaries, must also be included in the equation. So we have to add about 2.5 percentage points for the payroll tax for Medicare (employee and employer share after business deductions), which was applied to all income without a ceiling in 1993 as part of the Clinton tax hike. I am including in this analysis the employer share of all payroll taxes because it is a direct tax on a worker's salary and most economists agree that though employers are responsible for collecting this tax, it is ultimately borne by the employee. That brings the tax rate to 47%.
Then last year, as part of the down payment for ObamaCare, Congress snuck in an extra 0.9% Medicare surtax on "high-income earners," meaning any individual earning more than $200,000 or couples earning more than $250,000. This brings the total tax rate to 47.9%.
But that's not all. Several weeks ago, Mr. Obama raised the possibility of eliminating the income ceiling on the Social Security tax, now capped at $106,800 of earnings a year. (Never mind that the program was designed to operate as an insurance system, with each individual's payment tied to the benefits paid out at retirement.) Subjecting all wage and salary income to Social Security taxes would add roughly 10.1 percentage points to the top tax rate. This takes the grand total tax rate on each additional dollar earned in America to about 58%.
Then we have to factor in state income taxes, which on average add after the deductions from the federal income tax roughly another four percentage points to the tax burden. So now on average we are at a tax rate of close to 62%

This wide-waisted deck gives your larger-than-average feet enough room to ride without digging into the snow, while providing the all-terrain freestyle feel needed to jump, jib, and slash everything in sight. Featuring loose, catch-free rocker underfoot with the added power of camber at the tip and tail, the board's MtnPop Rocker gives you ultimate freedom to ride the entire mountain with a poppy, playful feel. Plus, its rocker underfoot delivers incredible float through deep, untracked snow, keeping your nose from submerging without setting back your stance.
Offering plentiful pop, the board's StaightBiax Carbon laminate infuses a healthy dose of carbon into its biax fiberglass for added snap. And since the board only uses biax fiberglass, it retains its buttery feel with ample torsional flex for hitting jib lines and pressing through the park. Adding even more ollie power, the board's HotRods-Bamboo Single Barrel places a rod of super-snappy Bamboo down the center of the board, acting as a springing board for boosting ollies and flying off kickers.
Gripping extraordinarily well on hardpacked snow, the board's QuickRip sidecut offers two extra mid-board contact points that firmly edge into icy conditions, ensuring you don't slip out. This sidecut design blends two different sidecuts for a unique dual-personality when you're riding slow and fast. Slow riding will feel highly maneuverable, as the shorter sidecut will only be engaged. However, once you open it up at high speeds, the longer sidecut firmly engages for added power and grip.

Matt Szczur went 2-4 with a pair of doubles and stole his 29th base along the way. Kyle(r) Burke worked 6 IP and allowed 2 ER while striking out 4. Torreyes had a pair of hits as well and got his BA up to .240.
Another day another Javier Baez HR. His 7th of the year was all the offense Peoria would need as Starling Peralta, Larry Suarez and Yao Lin Wang combined for a shutout game. Peralta struck out 4 in his 7 innings.
Rock Shoulders and Trey Martin hit HR's last night. Martin has replaced Shawon Dunston Jr who was sent back to AZL. Jose Arias gave up a solo HR in 5 IP and struck out 3 batters.
Dan Vogelbach see ball, Dan Vogelbach SMASH! Our favorite portly gentleman ballplayer hit his 4th HR of the year last night and added a double and (wait for it MO) a stolen base for good measure. Lendy Castillo continues his brave struggle with David Patton disease & worked two innings last night. Let's all pray he can continue to reclaim his life, one day at a time.

8 February 2008Masons' marks are among the most enigmatic features of Scotland's medieval churches, castles and bridges. They were the symbolic signatures which master masons cut into the stone wherever they worked. But little else is known about the identities and life stories of these men who played such an important role in creating the country's most cherished historic buildings from the Middle Ages to the 18th century.

After a disappointing showing in Monaco, Sauber head to Montreal hoping to get their season back on track... For all the latest F1 odds on the Canadian GP, round seven of the 2013 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet. Nico Hulkenberg: "The Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve is one of my favourites. It's a challenging track with a mixture of a permanent racetrack and a street circuit. It has some tight sections that don't allow for any mistakes. I like the whole layout and, in particular, the kerbs. The atmosphere on Ile Notre-Dame is always great and the whole city of Montreal welcomes Formula One. It's a very nice Grand Prix, and I'm looking forward to it." Esteban Gutierrez: "So far I have driven once at the track on Ile Notre-Dame, and that was in 2007 in Formula BMW. It went quite well with one podium finish and a fourth place. It's a really nice circuit and I like it a lot. The track is slippery and tyre management will yet again be very important, which gives us an opportunity to put a good strategy together. Obviously overtaking will be easier than in Monaco, which can benefit us. It's hard to judge how competitive we will be, as it will also depend on the weather. Hopefully with better conditions we can have a more consistent weekend, which will help us to progress and make the most of our potential." Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "The Montreal circuit is very narrow and has walls very close to the track. It typically produces one of the most exciting races of the season and a Safety Car is highly likely. The circuit is comprised of long straights and slow speed corners, which encourage overtaking, and also contribute to it being one of the hardest for the brakes. The circuit efficiency requires a lower drag level rear wing compared to Monaco, but you still need a strong car in low speed corners. This year the medium compound replaces the soft as the prime tyre, while the option remains as the super soft. Pirelli has also announced we will have a new rear construction to evaluate on Friday before its planned race introduction at Silverstone."

Metropolitan (1990)
Drama, Comedy
The debut film from writer-director Whit Stillman etches a sophisticated comic portrait of New York debutante society at the twilight of the 1980s. Set during the Christmas season, the film is told from the vantage point of Tom Townsend (Edward Clements), a self-professed proletarian radical who stumbles into the social sphere of a group of well-off Upper East Side twentysomethings calling themselves the SFRP (or Sally Fowler Rat Pack, named in honor of a frequent party hostess). The group includes Nick (Christopher Eigeman), an acidic misanthrope; sweet-natured Jane Austen acolyte Audrey (Carolyn Farina); Charlie (Taylor Nichols), a tongue-tied bumbler secretly in love with Audrey; and femme fatale Cynthia (Isabel Gillies). Quickly, Tom, who comes from much more humble beginnings, finds himself caught in the middle of the group. Audrey even develops a crush on him, but Tom is still reeling from a broken relationship with renowned man-eater Serena (Elizabeth Thompson), a peripheral member of the SFRP. It all leads to a romantic climax at the Southampton vacation home of Nick's womanizing arch-enemy Rick von Sloneker (Will Kempe).~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

A refreshing, cool story in the crazy world of the NFL....
When running back Brandon Jacobs left the Giants for the 49ers on a one-year deal this offseason, he didn't bolt New York because the G-Men couldn't afford him. But if I had a kid who was a fan of Jacobs as a player, that's what I would probably tell him or her.
And that's what one lady told her 6-year-old son Joseph. So Joseph, naturally, pooled all $3.36 of his life savings, put it in a plastic bag and mailed it to Jacobs with a letter hoping it would mean Jacobs could stay with the Giants.

Ok, I've been doing fantasy for years...and know offenses pretty well.
However, this year I'm in a league with IDP. I have no idea how to draft defensive players or when to draft them.
What round should you go for a LB, DB or DE?
The league I'm in is QB, 2-WR, 2-RB, W/R, TE, K, DEF, 2-DB, 2-DE and LB.
I'm at a loss as to when I should be drafting defensive players and don't want that to be what kills me. Any help would be appreciated.

There's a famous name within the Formula Ford field at this weekend's 2012 Formula 1 QANTAS Australian Grand Prix.
The son of former V8 Supercar and Super Tourer racer and current V8 Supercar team owner Brad Jones, 17-year-old Macauley, is making his Australian Formula Ford Championship debut at Albert Park.
Following a prolific karting career, Jones has switched to circuit racing and Formula Ford in 2012. His first race meeting came in the Victorian State Championship at Winton last weekend and he's enjoying the step up so far.
"My Formula Ford career started last week, which was good to get my head around it before I came here," Jones said.
"I've already learnt a lot, and I really love driving the cars. Hopefully I can make a career out of it in the end, but this is the first step to where I want to go. I'm really enjoying it."
This weekend at Albert Park, Jones qualified in 11th place before advancing to seventh in Friday's opening race to score points on debut. He failed to finish yesterday after a clash with Scott Andrews, but has another race to come.
Looking to maximise his tracktime, Jones will run the full Australian Formula Ford Championship as a CAMS Rising Star this year, along with selected state-level hit-outs in a Brad Jones Racing-prepared Mygale.
"I just want to learn the most we can and hopefully have a really good, hard go at it next year," he said.
Through his family ties – with uncle Kim Jones a co-owner of BJR and cousin Andrew a regular V8 Supercar competitor – the newest Jones racer has plenty of brains to pick for advice. He can also learn from CAMS Rising Star team-mate Jack LeBrocq, who finished second in last year's championship.
"I have a lot of opportunity around me, with my Dad being who he is and all of the resources he has," Jones said.
"I can pick the brain of V8 Supercar drivers and I've also got Jack here; he's very fast and switched on about how everything works. I have the best advice coming towards me, it's just about taking it one step at a time."
Motorsport has been a constant in Jones' life and he now works fulltime at Brad Jones Racing. Long-term, he wants to follow in his father's footsteps and forge a career in the sport.
"I've grown up around motorsport my whole life," he said.
"Now I'm working with my Dad on the team's Formula Ford and the V8 Development Series cars, so I'm getting the best feel for it that I can possibly get. I'm working as hard as I can, so I can achieve my goals in the end.
"Every driver wants to go overseas, whether it's Formula 1 or over to IndyCar or NASCAR in America. It would be good to do some stuff overseas, but the best opportunities are likely to be here in Australia for me, with the V8s. I'll see how it all goes."

Premier Strokes - Intensive Swimming Lessons
Premier Strokes is for anyone who would benefit from more intensive teaching.
Lessons in smaller groups or on a one-to-one basis are also available at some pools.
If you, or your child, are complete beginners, or are looking for advice on your swimming technique, Premier Strokes could help. Aimed to cater for individual needs, the pupil-to-teacher ratio has been kept small with this in mind.
One-to-one and two-to-one lessons are taught with the teacher in the water; during four-to-one and six-to-one lessons, the instructor remains on the poolside.
These lessons are only available at certain pools. Contact your local pool for details.

BB Brunes is a French pop rock band, part of the "new French rock scene" (la nouvelle scène rock française). In 2000, Adrien Gallo, Karim Réveillé and Raphaël Delorme, childhood friends, formed the band "Hangover" with songs exclusively in English. Some years later, Raphaël left the band at the moment when they were signing their first contract. The new lineup found a new guitarist, Félix Hemmen, who enjoyed their music. In 2007, the bassist Bérald Crambes joined the band. The band took the name BB Brunes, inspired by the name of the song "Initials BB" by Serge Gainsbourg and by Paris's boulevard Brune, where the band then did their rehearsals. The band's musical influences are punk and rock groups from the 1960s and 1970s as well as current groups such as The Strokes, Amy Winehouse, The Clash, David Bowie, Ray Charles and singers like Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Dutronc, etc. Their lyrics are mostly in French. In 2009, the group won a Victoires de la musique in the category 'Group or artist stage revelation of the year'.

Writing Carnival and Reading Marathon McDonald Moody Auditorium
25 years ago, the world was introduced to the film version of The Princess Bride, many meeting William Goldman's Inigo Montoya, Fezzik, Miracle Max, the albino dungeon keeper with a frog in his throat, and an impressive clergyman with a speech impediment for the very first time. Very few movies are as quotable as The Princess Bride, which was based on William Goldman's book and screenplay.
Now it's our turn.
The Princess Bride has been chosen for this year's 4th annual Reading Marathon and Writing Carnival, and I hope that you will support the events with your presence and your participation.
Please mark your calendars for the following events:
Monday, Sept. 16: The Princess Bride costume contest, 8:30 p.m., in front of the Sub, followed by a showing of the film at 8:45 p.m. Bring your family and friends and lawn chairs and blankets for a free movie and non-lethal refreshments.
Tuesday, Sept. 17: Reading marathon begins at 11:30 a.m. on the steps of the Moody; join us throughout the day and night as students, faculty, and staff recite a story of bravery and daring and--or course--twue wuv.
Wednesday, Sept. 18: Reading marathon ends at 11:30 a.m.; Writing Carnival begins with lunch in the mall area and writing contests.
Monday, Sept. 23: Writing Carnival event winners announced in chapel; winners will be invited to the stage at the end of chapel to collect their prizes.
Let the fun and games begin, or better yet, let's have fun storming 'da castle.
