The Northwestern Wildcats will play five future football games at Wrigley Field in Chicago, NU Athletics and the Chicago Cubs announced today.
Dates and opponents for the those five football games will be announced at a later date due to the scheduling of the Wrigley Field restoration project.
Northwestern has also agreed to feature several other athletic programs at the historic stadium, including baseball and lacrosse. One date is already set: Northwestern baseball will host Michigan on April 20, 2013.
"We are thrilled to partner with a professional sports franchise as iconic as the Chicago Cubs in an agreement that truly is the first of its kind," said Jim Phillips, Northwestern University Vice President For Athletics & Recreation. "As Chicago's Big Ten Team, this is a natural fit that will create tremendous opportunities for our student-athletes, our coaches and our fans in the area. I'd like to personally thank the Ricketts family and the entire Cubs executive team for all of their efforts in bringing this remarkable partnership to fruition."
On November 10, 2010, Northwestern fell to Illinois 48-27 in the first football game played at Wrigley Field since 1970. The field used an East-West configuration (home plate to right field), but clearances by as little as one foot between the East end zone and the outfield wall forced them to play only towards the West end zone.
Wrigley Field End Zone Update
The Chicago Cubs told ESPN that they will adjust the field so that both end zones can be used going forward.
"We would move the dugout top, and that would allow us to put a 12-foot perimeter around the whole field, which would satisfy the NCAA," Cubs president Crane Kenney said. "That's not an issue with enough time to work on it in advance and would be part of our renovation plan."

horrible idea….they're going to play all these games using the one-side endzone format? The restoration doesn't impact field size according to the articles I've seen.
ESPN's article also includes a bit more on how the third bse dugout will become 'removable'. So, the west endzone can be extended about 5 feet further to the west. That will give enough clearance on the east endzone.
The whole field also will shift a few feet towards the outfield, creating enough clearance on the first base side to house a visiting team. The NCAA will probably allow that the visiting side 30-yard line limit will be waived, so that that sideline's bench area can shift towards the west and the home plate area.
I think they might end up even making the 'front row' around the first and third base dugouts also removable… thus giving even better clearances.
As for Soldier Field: Wrigley has none of the drainage problems Soldier still does… and Wrigley's not right on the lake getting the brunt of bad weather.
How is any game being played at Wrigley a bad idea??? Sounds like a party to me. I guess you people don't like the Winter Classic either. Excellent idea. Can't wait!!!
I also think its dumb. Why not play at solider field if they want to be in the city.
NIU please!!! Or are the Mildcats scared? Come on Phillips… get in touch with your former employer and make it happen!
When the Bears played there, the left field foul line was one sideline, no issues with "too short" endzones, I recall.
The early word is at least two of the 5 dates will be filled with Northwestern vs NIU and Northwestern vs BYU. The NIU game is a "one and done" although they are trying for a Home and Home but that is not something the AD wants at this time. BYU was another good non conference that was supposed to be a "one and done as well" but over the last couple weeks it now looks like it will turn into a series, starting with an away game at BYU in Sept 2014, a neutral @ Wrigley 2016 and home @ Evanston in 2018. Outside of those two they are still trying to get a "one and done" with Missouri and West Virginia, those aren't likely. The University of Minnesota has reached out and shown interest in moving our game there in 2015.
A Northwestern-Notre Dame game there would be awesome.
I like the NIU and BYU games as non conference additions. NIU shouldn't get a series. BYU actually asked the Wildcats to come to Provo in NOVEMBER (yes NOVember) of 2014, they said – thanks but no thanks – and eventually settled on September 13, 2014 Much better weather in Utah at that time of year. I would really like to see that WVU game get added as well in 2014 if there is room!
BYU is asking everybody to come to Provo in November, you can't blame them for trying.
Would love to see Notre Dame, BYU, Army or Navy!
Who cares, Wrigley Field is a dump and should be torn down.
Football at Wrigley just is not a good Idea. Yes I know the Bears played there for decades and there was problems back then too. Both teams used the same sidelines as a bench. The field went north south like all football fields did and still do (except that game in 2010 at Wrigley had to go east west do to a remodel of part of the park) One endzone had a corner cut off to fit the field in, and they had to put padding in the 3rd base dugout incase someone fell into it. So a field NEVER fit there but it was used for 50 years of unsafe football.

Too Many Melanoma Survivors Skip Sunscreen
"We were very surprised by that," Chagpar said. What "blew her mind," though, was the fact that 2 percent of melanoma survivors visited tanning beds.
She noted that other researchers are studying the possibility that tanning is addictive for some people. It's possible, Chagpar speculated, that even some melanoma survivors may be hooked on the experience.
A dermatologist not involved in the study agreed that some of the findings are troubling. "It is certainly concerning that a quarter of the melanoma survivors never wear sunscreen," said Dr. Hensin Tsao, a melanoma expert at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
On the other hand, Tsao said he was "encouraged" by the fact that melanoma survivors were more serious about sun protection than the average person. That suggests that the message is getting through to many, he noted.
What's not clear, according to Tsao, is whether people recently treated for melanoma were any more likely to protect themselves when compared to survivors who beat the disease years ago. It is possible that the farther you are away from the experience, the less vigilant you'll be about UV protection.
"My sense is that if the study stratified by time from diagnosis, there would naturally be an erosion of the sun-protective behaviors," Tsao said.
But, Chagpar said, survivors need to remember that their increased risk of developing another melanoma "never goes away."
"There is no question that exposure to UV radiation increases your risk of melanoma," she said. "For survivors, it's particularly important to protect yourself."
According to the American Cancer Society, about 76,700 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed in the United States this year. An estimated 9,500 Americans will die of the disease.
The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

I put in my application Monday evening and because I lifted a security freeze for the week to do the application, I called today to follow and make sure that the application was processed within the time period that I lifted my freeze for.
I didn't seem to get a solid "yes you're approved" but the nice rep told me "based on what we've got here, we can definitely do something for you". Don't they usually tell you outright if you've been approved or not?

Elderly (Over 60 years of Age): Insomnia increases with age which may be attributed to greater psychosocial stressors, losses, and medical illnesses.
People with Mental Health Disorders: Many disorders including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder disrupt sleep.
People Experiencing Stress: Different variations of stress may cause either transient or short term insomnia and lead to chronic insomnia such as death of a loved one, financial issues etc.

As the opening credits start to roll, we're smack in the middle of a six-man orgy. And for the majority of the feature, that's pretty much it. These guys suck and fuck for a while before a few break off for some time together, then a four-man scene starts up again. There are some nice moments, but the biggest problem with these group scenes is that the camera gets far too close, tightening in on the action and not giving the viewer a good sense of the bigger picture, which is especially important in group scenes. The action is only okay, with some wood problems not helping. The closing threeway is the most successful of the bunch.

WICHITA FALLS - Red-hot Midwestern State scored the first seven points of the game, and except for a couple of scoring runs by West Texas A&M University controlled the game en route to a 94-82 victory on Saturday at D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
The Indians won their ninth straight game as they improved to 17-5 overall and 8-0 in the Lone Star Conference South Division. Coupled with Texas A&M-Kingsville's loss to A&M-Commerce earlier in the day, Midwestern owns a four-game lead in the South with six games remaining.
The Buffs, who fell to 12-6 overall and 4-4 in the LSC South, never led in this one. They trailed 7-0 in the opening two minutes, 13-4 with four minutes elapsed and by as many as 16 in the first half, before going to the break behind 42-32.
The second half didn't get much better for the Buffs. They closed within eight points in the first minute and a half, but never got any closer.
The Indians, who improved to 9-0 at home this season, continually pulled away. They led 57-40 with 13 minutes to play, and 67-45 two minutes later.
Midwestern led by as many as 24 points (83-59) with just over six minutes to play, before WT reeled off 14 unanswered points to get within 10.
But that was as close as the Buffs got.
Midwestern shot 48.4 percent from the field (30-of-62), including 6-of-21 from 3-point range, and was 28-of-36 from the free-throw line. The Buffs shot 46.9 percent (30-of-64), including 3-of-15 3-pointers and 19-of-28 from the line.
"Midwestern is just a good team, with a lot of firepower," WT head coach Rick Cooper said. "At times we were our own worst enemy. We turned the ball over 20 times, and you can't do that against a team like them.
"I don't think we were hitting on all cylinders, and they took advantage. You have to expect that from a team that good."
Terrence Thomas led the Indians with 18 points, while Jerome Jackson chipped in 15 and Edgar Arteaga 13 off the bench.
Freshman Tyrone Byers came off the bench to score a season-high 27 points, including 23 in the second half, to lead WT. Rich Forrest added 20 points, plus a game-high 11 rebounds. Esaw Scruggs was WT's other double-figure scorer with 18 points, plus six rebounds.
The Buffs will return home for games against Abilene Christian on Thursday and Angelo State on Saturday. They have only two more regular-season road game, and will play five of the last seven at home.

Air Force updates training to defend space assets
July 29, 2016
Space Command's new Space Mission Force will change the way satellite operators are trained.
David Stegon was a staff reporter for FedScoop and StateScoop from 2011-2014.
Cybersecurity leaders from throughout the world joined Symantec on Wednesday at the Washington Convention Center for the company's annual government symposium to discuss ways to combat the cyber threat that endangers each person, company and government that goes online.
The event, which featured more than 1,300 attendees, aimed to tackle three key problems: how to handle the explosion of information on the web, the ever-changing threat landscape and the necessity of innovation in the public and private sectors.
"Each and every day, our public servants in government IT security and management play a critical role in securing our country's online information," said Gigi Schumm, vice president and general manager of Symantec's public sector organization. "The reality is that the security challenges are always moving. The world is getting flatter, and it's our duty to give them every tool to fight that threat."
Steve Bennett, Symantec's new president and chief executive officer, said the company estimates a cyber crime happens around the world every 18 seconds, creating 1.5 million victims per day. That has created cyber crime into a $110 billion industry that continues to grow.
"The ability to share information, quickly and with the right people, can bring countless cost savings, but with that comes the cost and challenges of protecting that information," Bennett said. "It's obvious this is a challenge that is here to stay, but one we can work together on to solve through collaboration, diligence and education forums like today."
Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency and commander of the U.S. Cyber Command, gave an opening keynote where he said working together to fight cyber threats is no longer a nice-to-have, but a necessity.
"We can defend this space. But we're stuck at the starting line figuring out how we're going to do this," Alexander said. "That's going to be the push you see from the administration and Congress, and should be the push from business and the American people. We all have these devices. We all benefit by having secure devices that our children and grandchildren can get on and call from securely."
The urgency level continues to grow as more IT resources are distributed, Alexander said, noting the explosion of mobile device usage in both the public and private sectors.
"We need a defensible architecture," he said. "Thin, virtual cloud is key to our success in a couple of areas for DOD. We have a lot of mobile users. Securing mobile users is key to that future."
Symantec Public Sector Vice President and General Manager Gigi Schumm discuss the symposium with FedScoop.

For those who don't know what that means, a V shaped tuning means the treble and bass have been tuned to sound more forward and aggressive then the mids. End result, the mids tend to sound more laid back in comparison to the rest of the sound signature. Some good examples of gear, both..." --DigitalFreak

I have a NAS LACIE 2Tb BigDisk server.
I can't connect to the disk as I get the following error:
This didn't happen in Snow Leopard. How can I solve this?
Mac OS X Lion doesn't support the authentication DHCAST128 anymore (for security reasons apparently).
To reactivate it, you need to enter the following lines of code in Terminal:
After a restart, you should try to connect to the NAS through an AFP-Share (which will give you an Error Message again). A new connection profile should now have appeared in your "/Library/Preferences". Now you only need to enter the following commands to enable DHCAST128 support:
After another restart, the NAS connection should work.
In case you want to desactive DHCAST128 autentication again you need to type the following line:

Children's Assistance Program (China)
Since 2012, Epson Wuxi Co., Ltd. (EWL) has worked through the China Charity Federation in Wuxi to provide assistance to economically disadvantaged children in the city who need financial aid to continue their education. In 2014, a total of 25 high school and vocational school students to whom EWL provided assistance over a period of three years successfully graduated.
In June 2014, EWL management and employees also co-sponsored donations to an orphanage in the Tibet Autonomous Region and to an elementary school in Gansu Province. They donated multiple boxes of clothing (some 180 articles of clothing) and company-procured school supplies, such as pencils, erasers, notebooks, and books. A few months later, in September, they sent several more boxes full of clothing and new school supplies. EWL is committed to continuing sustained, meaningful assistance programs that meet local needs.
Community Beautification Activities (Global)
Epson offices around the world help keep their local communities clean and beautiful. Beautification activities not only keep our communities looking good, they also foster a spirit of community volunteerism and activism.
Case Study: Epson's Shiojiri Plant Recognized for Beautification Efforts (Japan)
Since 2007, employees at Epson's Shiojiri Plant have helped to beautify the local community by picking up trash and weeding along a river that runs by the plant. Every year the more than 600 employees of the Shiojiri Plant split up into five groups, and every month, from April through August, one of the groups goes out to beautify the community. Since 2010 they have also been carpeting the river bank with shibazakura, flowering plants in pinks, purples, and various other colors.
In May 2014, the prefectural government showed its appreciation by recognizing the Shiojiri Plant with an award for its efforts to enrich the environment. Yuji Akatsu, manager of the W General Affairs Group, says, "I think there is value in activities that get everyone involved. It is an honor to be recognized for this program, which is now in its seventh year and has raised the consciousness of employees to environmental beautification."
Epson Rural Education Program (China)
Epson (China) Co., Ltd. (ECC) launched a program in 2009 designed to improve the learning environment in schools in the rural western area of China. Under this program, ECC donated and installed projectors, PCs, and peripheral equipment that could be used with education software to computerize classrooms. ECC also offered the training course for teachers as part of the program.
In 2014 ECC outfitted classrooms in seven elementary and middle schools in Sichuan province with projectors, PCs, and other information equipment. In August of the same year, ECC invited 40 elementary and middle school teachers to Sichuan Normal University to participate in a one-week training course in the use of the equipment. Says author Lui Wenjia, who backs this program and has been visiting classrooms as a volunteer to explain how to use the equipment,"Teachers usually conduct lessons by lecturing and writing on a blackboard, but now, with the aid of advanced information equipment, they have access to a vast trove of colorful images and content that will further promote learning and increase student motivation."
To date, ECC has donated equipment to 30 elementary and middle schools in Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, and Yunnan Province. Moreover, nearly 240 teachers have participated in training courses. Epson is committed to continuing its efforts to improve the effectiveness of information equipment in the classroom and to assist schools in improving the learning environment.
Blood Drive (Philippines)
Epson Precision (Philippines), Inc. (EPPI), in partnership with the Batangas chapter of the Philippine Red Cross and with the cooperation of EPPI employees, has participated in Red Cross blood drives since 2000. The company further promoted this initiative in 2014 with the slogan "One pack of blood saves a life. One action creates millions of smiles." Once a month, EPPI employees and their family members can come in at any convenient time between 10 AM and 7 PM to donate blood. To further inspire employees to give blood, the company partners with the Philippine Red Cross give regular talks about blood and medical exams.
The Philippine Red Cross commended EPPI in 2014 for their efforts. Moreover, seven employees who had donated a large amount of blood were given the "Blood Galloner Award."

Patient Comments: Hodgkin's Disease - Diagnosis
What types of tests and exams led to a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease?
Comment from: fightcancerwithfire, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: May 05
I am a 34 year old firefighter who noticed a lump on the lower part of the right side of my neck, just above the collar bone. I was referred to a surgeon who did a biopsy of a swollen lymph node. I have early stage II Hodgkin's lymphoma. One of the earliest signs I had was 6 months prior; I had itching without a rash on both of my lower legs, inner thighs and the back of my arms with some facial itching as well. I went to a doctor and a dermatologist who just gave me some general instructions on how to keep my skin clean and properly moisturized. I was also open to the idea this could have been some kind of seasonal allergy I was developing but had never gone through this before. Those symptoms diminished after July but I started to notice more fatigue for several months (September to December) leading up to the lump on my neck (late December). My treatment is 4 months of chemotherapy and the latest scan, taken 2 months in, was clear of the cancer via PET scan which is more detailed than a CT scan. I should be done after 4 months of chemotherapy, not needing any radiation, with low chances of the cancer returning.
Comment from: BE, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: June 20
I am a 33-year-old male. About six months ago, I noticed some lumps on my neck. I thought I had a sinus infection, something I have dealt with throughout my life. After taking antibiotic, which did nothing to help, I had a CT scan. The scan detected several infected lymph nodes in my neck and one in my chest. After a biopsy of one of the lymph nodes, it was confirmed that I have Hodgkin's lymphoma. I start chemo and radiation in two weeks. Wish me luck.
Comment from: Chris, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 08
I was diagnosed in 2000 at the age of 35. I had a non-painful swollen area above my left breast that within two weeks grew into more of a defined lump. I was having severe night sweats, fatigue and remember just not feeling right. After CAT scan I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in my chest wall. After a double bone marrow biopsy I did 9 months of chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radiation. No problems since.
Comment from: molly, 7-12 Male (Caregiver) Published: October 11
My son was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 1999 when he was 11 years old. His ONLY symptom was a few painful bumps in his neck. He needed Panadol each night to help him sleep. He displayed no signs of tiredness, weight loss or anything else, though the circles under his eyes were a little darker that normal. A blood test revealed presence of the EB Virus. The doctor assumed (naturally) that he was suffering from glandular fever. Put it down to mother's intuition (never underestimate this) but I suspected it was more serious, so more tests were done and eventually the biopsy confirmed Hodgkins Lymphoma. He had 6 months of chemotherapy at RCH in Brisbane which began exactly 6 months after the first bumps in his neck appeared. He is now a healthy 23 year old.
Comment from: poohbear, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 16
I was diagnosed in 1985 at age 18. I am female; I noticed a painless swelling at my collar bone. The doctor treated for viral infection for 6 months. finally went for second opinion biopsy was done and later was staged 3B. Went through 1 year chemo and 6 weeks radiation. I was lucky because even though I was 18 St. Jude accepted me as a patient. In 2009 had thyroid removed which also had cancer cells. Also found by St. Jude Now 26 yrs later my 21 year old son has enlarged lymph nodes, he has already taken antibiotics. He is scheduled for biopsy September 1st. I am praying there will be other reasons for nodes being enlarged. Please note for all Hodgkin survivors be aware of secondary cancers.
Comment from: Silverqueen, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: March 23
I have an implantable loop recorder implanted just below the skin on top of my left breast. Since October 2015, this device has confirmed those 'weird' heart flip flops, tachycardia, etc., and now it appears cardiac ablation might be my best option.

I didn't quite receive enough financial aid from the school even though I'm part of the Low-Income class, but it seems like more scholarships are awarded to students in sports which is probably why I didn't receive as much.
The financial aid process for me was pretty easy and straightforward. My college as quick and was actually the college that gave me the most money. The financial aid office is a great tool to use and helped me personally in finding extra money so that I can pay for college. I was able to make a payment plan easily and the workers were very helpful.
Cal Lutheran gives out scholarships to help students in need, and it is very helpful!
Almost everyone gets some sort of aid but the school is expensive!
I received nearly a half-ride scholarship to my university simply for singing in order to get into the choir. Prior to that I received about the same amount of financial aid due to academics. They are extremely generous with Financial Aid!

This exciting evening will begin with a seven-piece group playing the fiery civil rights-infused music of Art Blakey including music by Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Horace Silver, and more. The main event will showcase selections from the landmark Art Pepper + Eleven album, recorded in 1959, featuring sublimely swinging arrangements by Marty Paich. This great music features solo alto saxophone backed by a unique eleven-piece "little big band" with three saxophones, two trumpets, French horn, two trombones, and rhythm section.

I like Williams but they need some speed back there
Is it really the coaches fault that Will Beatty and Justin Pugh jump off sides? It's the players fault.
We substitute the slow runner with an even slower runner on 3rd downs....LOL
All kidding aside, they should give Cox a few carries just so the defense can have to adjust for some speed out of the...
Shout out to my boy Greg Jackson #47. Also David Tate.
It seems he was well liked in Green bay. and San Fran.
Usually a coach has "his guys", or players that he builds close relationships with
Wondering who the players are and if anyone will...
Eli is a "Gunslinger". I love it.
He reminds me of Favre. Big plays, big wins, big losses a lot of picks, many big plays, some amazing throws...others just awful
He's exciting to watch!!!!
has not lost my trust at all
Not for nothing, does it matter, the guy dropped the ball 30 yards down the field and then on 4th down number 88 got it stripped...you cant blame the refs
its called being aggressive and trying to win. Stop being weak.

After accidentally killing a police office five years ago, Pearl has managed to protect her bright, frail young son Leonard from her violent past. Then one day, Pearl drops him off with their neighbor Mitch, and never returns. Mitch is far from the ideal caretaker--he's having an affair with a client's wife--but he and Leonard must find a way to bridge the gap between them as they bond as parent and child.Gritty but big-hearted, "Love in the Present Tense" is an inspiring story of love and the surprising forms it can take.

Topeka (WIBW) - A Topeka biker is on his annual trek to help out a cancer patient and raise awareness for cancer screening.
Eric Nordgren rides a 250-mile route through northeast Kansas that, when mapped out, resembles the shape of a heart. Nordgren took off Wednesday from Rees Fruit Farm.
This year, he's riding for two-year old Adellynne VanCleave of Topeka. The little girl has a serious kidney cancer. The VanCleave's will have around $20,000 in unpaid medical expenses and Nordgren hopes his ride can help alleviate some of the burden.
People can donate to the cause for the next two and a half weeks. Pledges may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 128 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dkayaks Love my Spirit I like my Spirit 120 so much I'm getting another one. Handles very well and sturdy. July 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Debbia Future Beach Spirit 120 Kayak in Tangerine I love my kayak. I purchased it last year. It is so gorgeous. I've only used it once this year. It was still wrapped up from when it was shipped. It had a few gashes on it, I guess from the shipping and handling process. My husband didn't think they would matter, since they weren't all the way thru the plastic. I had knee surgery last year and really couldn't use it. Anyway, its perfect for my needs. I am a novice at kayaking. But I want to get out there and start paddling around. I think we are going to get a truck for ease of loading and unloading the kayak. It seems a little tippy, but it is somewhat narrow and streamlined. I think with more experience it won't feel tippy. It handled very well on the creek the day we were out. The tangerine color really shows up in the water. I think this kayak will be perfect for me. I just want to go paddling around and explore nature. I don't really want to attempt white water rapids or anything that extreme. I noticed today that shipping and handling for this kayak for online purchase is $120.00. Last year I had to pay $195.00. I wish I could have gotten the lower price last year. It would have been very helpful. I think the kayak price is fair. Other than the shipping cost, I'm very happy with my mega awesome kayak.

Rated 5 out of 5�by saywv LOVE this kayak! Have had this for 4 summers.... Still love it. Use it for rivers, so cannot speak for it on a lake. Very stable, glides over the rapids. I have never used the plugs so i always get wet, but no complaints there. Great value but good quality. Way better than walmart sundolphin kayaks, love that it has handles too. Not a lot of dry storage but not a real big deal. May 30, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by Cricket Great starter kayak I got this as my first kayak a few years ago. I LOVED it! The only negative I had was it didn't have a lot of storage space. I've since moved into a different kayak but I won't sell this one. I still take it out now and then when I don't need storage. This year my 9 year old started using it and he loves it. Easy to maneuver and great in the rapids! Worth every penny! May 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by SusieQ7 Love them! I am just preparing to by my 3rd Future Beach Spirit 120 Kayak. Looking for the best deal possible at the moment. We already have 2 and use them whenever the York River is calm enough and the water is not too cold Lots of wind here, so there are times it's best to wait it out. Even when it is partially calm, this kayak can handle it if you can. It's very stable and confident in just about any water. Even my chihuahua enjoys sitting on the bow (with a leash connected to her harness.. .just in case ) if we are out for long, she will curl up and sleep. I highly recommend it :) April 23, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by txstars15 Just purchased but haven't used I can only comment on the product itself as we just picked ours up and have not yet had a chance to paddle them. The construction is super solid with no side seams. There is a handy bottle holder and the usual elastic bands to secure the day's cargo. The product description pretty much tells it all. I can say that Justin at the Dallas Dick's store was spectacularly helpful and stayed on top of the entire transaction. Just super to work with. When he pointed out the kayaks had just gone on clearance for almost another $100 off, it was a no-brainer! September 20, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by stan Good and so-so Futurebeach Spirit120 is not ideal as any product but very decent compact kayak for short rides. I have it for 2.5 years. Since I own 3 more sit on top kayaks here is my take on it. Positive: 1. Fits inside my minivan, I don't need to deal with roof rack loading pain. 2. Plastic is thick and solid - you can touch logs, rocky shore, gravel with scare to break it. 3. Very maneuverable. 4. Tracks well enough for such maneuverable kayak. 5. Has handles to help loading-unloading. 6. Has tiny storage area, but enough for keys and wallet. 7. Has a back seat. Negative. 1. Not as stable as some single sit on top kayaks. For speed you pay by loosing stability, I understand it. 2. Too small for medium and large frame people, you'll be sitting in water (or buy scupper plugs). 3. Storage area could be bigger. 4. Backseat could be taller. Bottom line - good for short rides, easy to get in and out, unsinkable as all sit on top kayaks. July 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jeanne63 Stable and tracks great Didn't realize how terrific this inexpensive kayak was until I tried several other brands and configurations. This is the best...very stable even in choppy water, a breeze to paddle and has held up well in the three years I have owned it. It is well-made and the features, though few, all work as they are supposed to...no useless gimmicks to break. July 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by SkyeDragon Solid Stable Boat This kayak is easy to load, tracks well, and is a very stable platform. So far it has proven capable of keeping up with much larger rudder equipped boats on spring runs and lakes. We did purchase a seat upgrade as the original is a very basic back support. June 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Clipper A Terrific Value with Room to Grow I rented this kayak at the Juniper Springs run in Ocala National Forest in Florida. I liked it's stability and maneuverability along the notoriously shallow and twisting course of this beautiful wilderness waterway. I looked up the kayak online and was surprised to see it for sale at Dick's Sporting Goods at $269. When I purchased a floor model, they only charged $200! It's a great recreational kayak that benefits from a little improvement. Like another reviewer, I installed a 5" hatch and "fat" bag (Top Kayaker $30.) underneath the existing hatch cover which means there's now a double hatch which never leaks, solves the storage issue, and gives access to the hull. I replaced the rubber stopper drain with a standard 3/4" screw in drain plug ($4) which fit perfectly into the existing hole. I added bungees to the back deck as well. And the cost of those changes still didn't bring the price of the kayak up to the original pricetag. The kayak tracks well and when you lean into turns, the dihedral hull design takes over and facilitates the turn. The reviews of it being tippy and not tracking well are a function of not understanding the design. This is a kayak that's very responsive to lean. The dihedral profile of the hull in cross section means that when the kayak is tilted, the hull shape in the water essentially changes to a narrow V that carves a turn. With a little practice you'll have a boat that is stable, while both tracking and turning well. Just perfect your technique, and I think you'll be really happy with the boat. As for the complaints about leaking, the new hatch fixes the storage leak problem, but there is another leak point. Underneath the serial number plate on the back of the seat is a small air hole. Maybe it's supposed to be a vent, I don't know, but when I fooled around with the kayak in the pool practicing re-entry, that hole let in a lot of water. I plugged it with Sugru from inside the hull when I installed the hatch. This is an amazing boat for the price. I hope you like it as much as I do. (I've been kayaking since 1986, in both recreational and sea kayaks on all US coasts. ) May 21, 2015
