It begins even before I clear customs in St. Kitts, a sense that Nevis is an island apart from others in the Caribbean.
A guy with a guitar slung on his back starts chatting with people beside me in the queue, and before long, I�m in a three-way conversation, learning where to hear live music, which restaurants are closed on Mondays, and where to find trails leading to newly discovered waterfalls. (Hike up from the prison.)
In Nevis, everyone knows everyone, or so it seems, and they�re happy to share news, gossip and helpful information.
Nevis (pronounced �NEE-vis�), six miles wide by eight miles long, is the smaller of two sister islands, former British colonies that make up the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Located in the leeward portion of the Caribbean�s Lesser Antilles, both islands have lush foliage, dormant volcanoes and uncrowded beaches, though Nevis, population 12,000, is quieter and less developed than its big sis.
Revealing Nevis as my destination to other travelers is like sharing a secret handshake in a club where those who love beach casinos, bars with DJs and nightlife turn one way as they exit the airport, remaining in St. Kitts, while the rest of us hop into cabs to the ferry. Crossing the two-mile channel to Nevis, we arrive at a destination with one sleepy harbor town and more than 50 churches, where wild sheep and donkeys roam freely, an island reported to have more vervet monkeys than people.
�Nevis offers a distinctive sense of disconnect, which I think is so difficult to find in today�s global world,� said Nancy Beckham, a former Nevis resident whom I met in Miami. �No buildings are higher than a coconut palm, there aren�t many vehicles, the people are educated and kind, the surroundings are lush and green, and there�s plenty to explore, including wonderful historical ruins that have disappeared from other Caribbean islands.�
For a recent visit � my second in five years � I lured my pal Libby down from Portland, Maine, with promises of swimming, touring, cocktail imbibing, eating and lounging in the sun. Call it Lollygagging 101.
� � �
Arriving at our hotel, Montpelier Plantation & Beach, Libby and I were greeted by Ziggy, a friendly, honey-colored hound dog. Javier Stanley, a bartender with an oval face and a thousand-watt smile, served us a welcoming rum punch in a tall chilled glass.
�Nevis is simple, subtle,� he said. �There�s not too much hustle and bustle.�
�Compared to other Caribbean nations, Nevis is a step back in time,� said Nikolas Mantas, the food and beverage manager. And he meant that in a good way.
Settling into island life was as easy as kicking off our shoes. After our cocktail and a dip in the pool, we took a taxi to Lime, a rustic beachside restaurant and bar with wood floors and a porch looking out at the stars. Michael Jackson rocked the sound system � �Oh baby, give me one more chance� � and we sighed over crisp tania (an island root vegetable) fritters, watermelon and feta cheese salad, and grilled grouper, sauteed onions and pickles folded in a flour tortilla. We washed it all down with a cold Carib beer.
In the morning, wild sheep were grazing outside our room as the sun rose hot on a breezy day. The hotel had once been a sugar plantation � complete with an old mill where you can now dine in candlelit splendor � one of several renovated plantations on this island, vestiges of an industry that dominated the economy in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Montpelier�s 19 cottage rooms, with wooden beams, lazy ceiling fans and louvered windows, are reminiscent of a time when the island was a stomping ground for well-heeled British colonists such as Lord Horatio Nelson, who married Frances Nisbet beneath a silk-cotton tree on the property.
Montpelier sits high on a mountain slope, near the often cloud-shrouded Nevis Peak (3,232 feet), and offers partial views of the distant windward shore. (The hotel offers daily shuttle service to a private beach on the leeward side.) Swimming backstroke in the pool, watching clouds skitter through the cerulean sky, I was acutely aware of being on an island afloat in a vast, pale green sea.
Slipping out of the pool and into a robe, I padded to the adjacent veranda, where Libby was sipping her morning coffee. Over a full Nevisian breakfast � farm-fresh eggs, local pork sausage and French toast with nutmeg and island honey � we met Dr. Erin Moore and his wife, Kara Wanchick, from Jacksonville, Fla. This was their fifth visit to the island since they�d gotten married on Montpelier�s beach three years earlier.
�If you come to Nevis, come with a sense of adventure,� said Moore, who showed me his Nevis driver�s license, a square pink card ($25).
Moore and Wanchick like to explore the island by Jeep, finding small coves and beaches each time they return. He recommended renting a car through the hotel ($50 a day) rather than directly through rental companies ($75 to $125 a day).
Neither Libby nor I felt comfortable driving �English style� � on the opposite side of the road � so we asked the hotel to hire a driver for a day of touring. Alston Smithen, a.k.a. �Champ,� arrived in his dusty, trusty passenger van, and we set off to circumambulate the island at a leisurely pace.
� � �
Champ�s lilting voice provided a backdrop to our tour. We stopped at the remains of the New River Estate Sugar Mill, the last operating sugar mill on the island (closed in the 1950s), where sunlight filtered through vines partially covering a crumbling chimney and the rusting gears of steam-driven cane crushers.
At Nisbet Plantation Beach Club, another former sugar plantation turned inn, patrons in a shaded beachside bar sipped frozen rum cocktails and nibbled quesadillas with a side of plantains. �The lady married to Admiral Nelson came from this plantation,� said Champ.
High on a bluff overlooking St. Kitts, St. Thomas�s Lowland Church, circa 1643, is the oldest church on the island, and supposedly the oldest Anglican church in the Caribbean.
Thirsty, I requested a detour to Mansa�s Last Stop, a roadside store stocked with staple groceries, beer, produce grown on a small organic farm and homemade seasonal juices such as carambola, sorrel, passion fruit and cucumber. Out in the extensive growing fields behind the shop, we found Mervin �Mansa� Tyson, a reed-thin man with Rasta dreads and a big smile, who offered us a tomato, warm and sweet off the vine.
A low key, laid-back approach to tourism is what I appreciate about the island, so it was a surprise to learn that Nevis was home to the first resort for Europeans in the Caribbean. The therapeutic hot springs at the Bath Hotel, built in 1778, attracted such noteworthy visitors as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Prince William Henry, the Duke of Clarence. The hotel is closed now, but you can still dip into its hot springs in a small outdoor pool.
We made a pit stop for sunscreen in the capital city of Charlestown, where street names such as Prince William and Prince Charles recall the British colony, and the more quirkily named Featherbed Alley and Upper Happy Hill Drive made me smile. With perhaps the sleepiest town center I�ve ever encountered, Charlestown is home to the ferry terminal to St. Kitts, the tourism office, a sports store, a sports bar, government offices, Chinese restaurants (the island version of fast food), small souvenir shops, a pharmacy, banks and, on certain days, a market selling spices, fruit and produce.
�In Charlestown, everything closes at 5 p.m.,� said Champ. �It�s like a ghost town.�
� � �
Nightlife on the island consists of a rotating schedule of special dinners � pig roasts, West Indian barbecues, seafood grills � sponsored by hotels, plantation inns and bars, many times featuring live local string bands or Calypso music. On Friday nights, the Water Department sponsors a cookout with chicken, ribs, music and beer.
Charlestown is celebrated as the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, a U.S. Founding Father and first secretary of the Treasury, and his family home has been reconstructed as a museum. A lesser-known fact is that in the 17th and 18th centuries, Charlestown was home to Sephardic Jews expelled from Brazil who were active participants in the sugar cane growing and processing industry. In the Jewish cemetery, grave markers bear inscriptions carved in Hebrew, English and Portuguese.
I was curious to see the developments at the Golden Rock Inn, another former sugar plantation that, at the time of my previous visit, had been purchased by New York artist Brice Marden and his wife, Helen. As we made our way up the steep, narrow road, our progress was blocked by an ambulance. In a perfect example of �island time,� Champ didn�t honk the horn or shout or get out to investigate. He simply pulled over to the side of the road and waited.
�An old lady lives here,� he offered as explanation. �She must not be feeling well today.� A full 10 minutes later, the ambulance driver escorted an elderly woman to the van, helped her in, and we continued on our way.
Miami-based landscape architect Raymond Jungles worked with the Mardens to redesign the gardens and the grounds at the Golden Rock, and the result is a managed chaotic wildness that suits the island and the artists. Stone paths meander past rock formations, cacti, succulents and enormous palm fronds to colorful cottages scattered across the hillside. A simple swimming pool overlooks the sea, and a new outdoor dining area, designed by architect Ed Tuttle, hosted visitors feasting on a lunch of conch chowder, grilled lobster tail and jerk pork sandwiches.
Golden Rock is also the trailhead for a hiking path through the rain forest, one of many trails on the island.
� � �
Our favorite meals were the simplest ones. At Montpelier one morning, we watched a cooking demonstration by chef Benjamin Voisin and gobbled the results at lunch beside the pool: chilled cucumber and lemongrass gazpacho, and pan-seared red snapper with papaya, red onion, green pepper and tomato salsa.
�Ninety percent of the fruits and vegetables I use come from the island,� said Voisin. �It�s the real Caribbean. Raw and unspoiled.�
Diane Hallstrom, who works in the gift shop at the nearby Botanical Gardens of Nevis, agrees.
�We�re known as a green island. We have wind power. We�re quiet. We�re peaceful,� she said. �We�re back to nature. There�s no gambling, no casino, and no traffic.�
A visit to Nevis isn�t complete without sampling a Killer Bee rum punch at Sunshine�s Beach Bar & Grill. Sunshine himself served us conch fritters with a side of his special hot sauce. We hid from the heat of the day under jaunty saffron-hued umbrellas, watching kayakers paddle past as the house monkey chugged a beer. (�Come take a photo with the monkey 5 U$,� read the sign on the cage.) Reggae music played, palm trees swayed, the warm turquoise sea beckoned, and life was pretty much perfect.
�You realize this is a complete fantasy,� I said to Libby.
�Yes,� she answered. �That�s why we travel. Real life is tedious enough.�
True, that.

I do believe that Day 5 is the magical day of the CFC. Despite the fact that it was a very, very rainy and stormy day, and we couldn't get outside, I feel great. I feel (wait for it)...... sparkly.
I had planned a 20 mile bike ride this morning but the weather was so bad that I went to the gym to run 5 miles instead. I purposefully planned a workout that would bring me to a soaking-wet sweat, because I was curious if the whole "clean sweat phenomenon" of the last CFC was just my imagination. It was not my imagination!
I tried to describe the feeling last time, and I'll try again. My sweat feels clean and thin, like I am just misted with mineral water instead of sweating out salt. I am usually so salty after a run that if my sweat dries, I have little salt crystals left on my face. I usually feel sticky as soon as I'm done working out and can't wait to get in the shower. Today, I was soaked, but it felt so clean... Weird.
As my skin dried on the drive home, I felt all dewy like I had just had a facial. I am so curious to know what it is in my diet that makes me sweat sticky. It's not like it's a huge problem, but I just want to know. I have had plenty of salt this week, and that would have been the obvious culprit. Any ideas?
I would say that if any of you who have stuck with the cleanse up to this point and you are not feeling sparkly yet, you should try a hard workout. That is what did it for me today.
Breakfast: 2 eggs and 1/2 of a canteloupe, coffee with coconut milk and agave.
After my run: Smoothie made with oatmeal, flax seeds, chia seeds, canteloupe, blueberries, almond milk (arguably processed I guess) and a splash of agave.
Lunch: A bowl of quinuoa and black bean salad with some fresh salsa and 1/2 of an avocado, while the rain pounded down outside.
Afternoon snacks: cashews, almonds and dried cranberries. Banana. Peach.
Before dinner: baby carrots with hummus, olives and pickled garlic.
Dinner, cooked for me by my loving Mommy.
Corn (without butter!), sauteed spinach and garlic, and wild sockeye salmon with dill. Deeeeelicious. Totally hit the spot.
Snack when I got home: Rice cake with almond butter, banana, and coconut.
I am really craving some things this evening. There is a box of Graham crackers, some marshmallows and some Hershey Chocolate bars in my kitchen cupboard that are calling me. I'm ignoring them.
But I am looking forward to a summer camp fire and s'mores next week.
How are you all doing out there?

With goals to reduce overtime and stress while increasing throughput in the Operating Room, the TRMC team looked to GE to help a transformation of the Department.
Thibodaux Regional and GE worked together to assemble cross-funtional teams that would address three areas: PAT, Block Committees and OR Processes. Engaging physicians as staff to participate in developing solutions was critical to buy-in and ownership of changes.
The teams mapped out their current processes to help identify roadblocks to efficient operations. With the pre-admission testing area identified as a bottleneck, the team focused on making staff and process changes to benefit both the patient and the OR.
Agreeing on a common definition for start time was a crucial step in getting everyne on the same page for first-case starts. Enforcing the policies for late starts was made easier because of the metrics and dashboards that were tracked on a daily basis.
The team worked diligently to educate surgeons about the benefits of block scheduling, address individual surgeons' needs, and build a structure to accommodate key stakeholders.
As the GE consultants prepared to finish their time on-site. Thibodaux Regional took ownership of making the changes last. By leveraging the managment principles learned and abiding by the dashboards, the teams frlt ready to continue the changs that needed to be made.
The opening of a joint venture surgery center changed the case mix at Thibodaux Regional and brought challenges of maintaining turnaround times. The hospital also used new skill sets outside of the OR and tackled processes in the Emergency Department.
Thibodaux Regional reflects on its experience and offers advice for other institutions considering their own operating room improvement initiatives.

E-flite Mini Ultrastick or Mini Pulse XT
I'm in the market for a new balsa electric. My hangar currently includes a Multiplex Minimag with a 400w setup, a highly modified Easystar with ailerons and a 1kw setup, and a Goldberg Laser 200. My flying skills are acceptable; I'm not into extreme 3d, but I like to go fast. My sight is great, my reflexes are fast. I generally fly in a giant park, not at a certified flying field, although, sometimes I go there when I go with someone else.
I've narrowed my next airplane choices down to the above two. I'm looking for a comparison in flight characteristics between the two. I realize that one is a high wing and the other a mid, so obviously the Stick would be significantly more forgiving, but it's just so terribly ugly. Can anyone compare these two? Or do they even compare at all? Thanks to anyone who replies. Mini Pulse: http://www.greathobbies.com/producti...rod_id=EFL2375 Mini Ultrastick: http://www.greathobbies.com/producti...rod_id=EFL2250 |
I have both. The MUS handles the wind much better than the MPXT. The MUS is far better at aerobatics. The MPXT is nice sport plane, looks a bit better (to me at least). I usually grab the MUS if there's room in the van once I get the bigger planes in if I'm going to the flying field. The MPXT is great for lazy flying. Just my $.02
I used to have a E-flite MPXT until I decided to try a knife edge too close to the ground. Had a brain melt down and turned it into a pile of toothpicks.
I too agree that the MUS is butt ugly, but I am impressed with its flight capabilities. The MPXT is a beautiful plane, it flies extremely well with the park 480 under the hood. Has unlimited vertical and tracks beautifully. If you get a MPXT go with the 480, not the 450 motor. Can I put another suggestion on the table. What about an E-flite Mini Funtana X. It is a beautiful looking plane, flies wonderfully well and is a similar size. If you put it on low rates, it flies very similarly to the Pulse. Crank up the rates, and it rolls like a maniac and can be lots of fun. This would be my choice out of the 3 planes. |
I have HeadsUpRC 450's in both the MUS and MPXT and I never felt that they were lacking in performance.
Wow, thanks for all the replies. I was expecting quite the opposite; the MUS flying less acrobatically than the MPXT, and the MPXT being a real handful. I'm glad I was so wrong.
Road Rascal, thanks for your input, at this stage, lazy flying and fast flying are the two main things I do. Mattvr1ck, The Goldberg Laser 200 I have ( http://www.hiflightrcshopping.com/ca...-arf-blue.html ) is a lot like the Mini Funtana X, which, you said, flies like the MPXT. That to me means that the XT would fly like my Laser, which I like, however with the large control surfaces, I get flutter at higher speeds. With the Mini Pulse XT, does anyone experience any flutter? I understand there are two versions of the e-flite park 450, the over 1000kv and the under 1000kv. Which one would most people recommend? Does anyone second Matt's 480 recommendation? Just to summarize, based on what I've read here, the Mini Pulse XT sounds like the right plane for me, so long as there's no flutter. |
I haven't experienced any flutter with my MPXT. Although I don't fly it as hard as my MUS. Both of those have an 1100kv 450 (450 Sport from HeadsUpRC). I've read a few posts about the MPXT experiencing flutter with the 480 though (fast flying).
The MUS was my first electric ever (flying glow for over 20 years)
. IVE HAD BOTH! yes yes YES ON THE 480! (go with higher KV) I ran 11x7 apc for balance of thrust and speed... tried 10x7-8 and 12x6 also. 2200 3 cell batteries The stick is more field friendly with a HUGE gear.. the pulse more realistic. Stick has better roll rate and wilder spin.. the pulse has better glide tendencies with semi-semetrical wing although they are VERY similar. The pulse required modification for proper cowl fitament with the 480. NO FLUTTER or any structural issues other than landing gear... It tends to rip out easy on both planes. Just add reinforcements AHEAD of time. Also ran torque 2812-900 on three cells with 11x8 apc for crazy power on ultra stick..also with NO landng gear.. That gear is huge btw! I remember flying off gravel roads or nearly any rough patch. lol FYI... the torque is only .7oz heavier than the 480 but more versitile with power/battery options. If you go with the eflight, I hear it WILL run on 4 cells if you prop down to 10x7.. the torque will swing anything up to a 12x6 on 4 cells. |
go fast? how about and easy to fly P40 for $100 with motor. Yup, the eflight version can accept 3, 4, and 5 cell batteries with an electrifly ss12 esc. It has awesome detail and display stand. My 5cell setup weighs only 8.5 oz and puts out 200 watts on the stock prop/motor!!
I can sit like a kite with moderate headwind and then accelerate away with 375 watts/lb!!! check it out! http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/Pr...ProdID=EFL6075 |

https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...80260&page=156 This is the MPXT build and fly thread. Id say about 80% of people are running their MPXT with the higher Kv 480 motor. Takes a bit of fiddling to get it in, but well worth it. If flies well with the 450, but its always fun to have a bit more speed and performance on tap when you want it. I was running a 10 x 7 APC prop, and had unlimited vertical. Both motors are about the same price, so why not go with the one with a bit more power.
As for flutter, you do get a bit of flutter from the tail feathers at high speeds (The control surfaces are only thin, so you would expect that), but you dont lose any responsiveness from the controls. So its not really a problem. |
I just pulled the E Flite 480 out of my mini pulse,I have a much more worthy place for it , and installed a hacker 20-22L with a 10-7 APC prop. It's almost as good as the 480 . Lighter motor and batt. pack .
Just bought a Mini Pulse PNP on Tuesday, Flew it last night for the 1st time. Big difference than my Apprentice but I knew it would be. It flew great, no issues in flight. On the ground however it pulls hard left on the take off and it gets a little hairy trying to get it off the ground. I gave it some right rudder and it whipped so hard right the plane spun out. I figure a lil adjustment is in order on the tail wheel, No big deal.
be safe, fly straight. Catto |

Network Analysis of Eight Technological Systems
This paper aims to measure and compare some key relationships relative to the technological systems of eight OECD countries along three temporal spans (early 1980s, middle 1980s, early 1990s). For each technological system, a matrix of intersectoral innovation flows is constructed and network analysis is then performed to examine the density distributions of the innovative flows, and the degree of centrality/centralisation of each of its nodes.The first kind of analysis allows a quantitative comparison of the intensity of the linkages among the systemic nodes considered, while the second allows us to examine qualitatively the different internal structures identified by cutting-off flows of a certain magnitude. The main results of the paper are a clear distinction among technological systems with different structural characteristics (e.g. size, technological intensity, and institutional arrangements suggesting the existence of different 'models of capitalism'), and a clear pattern of 'convergence' among the technological systems along time.

550 First Avenue
New York,
The major interest of my laboratory is the control of proliferation in normal and cancer cells and the genes and gene-products whose interplay regulates proliferation and differentiation.
To understand how growth factors mediate cell proliferation and differentiation, we are studying the mechanism of action and the regulation of expression of fibroblast growth factors (FGF). FGF represents a large family of growth factors which signal through their interaction with tyrosine kinase receptors (FGFR) which also make-up a gene family. FGF signaling plays a major role in a variety of developmental processes, ranging from gastrulation to bone morphogenesis. Ectopic or excessive FGF expression can lead to oncogenesis. The main projects currently being carried out include:
1) The regulation of expression of the FGF4 gene in vitro and in vivo. FGF4 is an important signaling molecule whose expression is physiologically restricted to embryonic life and plays an essential role in early embryonic development. We have found that its expression depends on distinct enhancer elements, all located in the 3? portion of the gene, that, by interacting with specific transcription factors, direct FGF4 expression in specific embryonic structures, including the blastocyst, myotomes and limb buds. The transcription factors which interact with the blastocyst enhancer have been identified. Sox2 and Oct-3 synergistically activate FGF expression in this tissue by binding to adjacent regions in the enhancer DNA.
2) The physiological role of FGFs, using transgenic mice or gene-ablation techniques. We have generated FGF1, FGF2 and FGF1/FGF2 knockout mice and show that these factors play no essential role in development, but affect the production of specific neurons, the development of hematopoietic precursor cells, and wound-healing. We are in the process of generating mice in which specific FGF4 DNA regulating elements have been deleted, to determine the role of this factor in distinct processes of development (e.g. limb formation).
3) The regulation of bone development by FGF signaling. Unregulated FGF signaling, due to FGFR activating mutations, causes a variety of dominant bone morphogenetic disorders in humans, including several forms of dwarfism and craniosynostosis syndromes, showing that FGF signaling plays an important role in bone development. We are studying the effect of FGF on the two major cell types involved in bone formation, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. A) In chondrocytes, we found that FGF signaling inhibits proliferation and increases apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. These effects are cell type-specific and require the activation of STAT1, a signal transducing transcription factor which is not normally activated by FGF in other cell types. We are investigating the other downstream effectors of FGF-mediated growth inhibition, how FGFs influence chondrocyte differentiation and the genes whose expression is induced by FGF signaling in chondrocytes and is controlled by STAT1. B) In osteoblasts, FGF signaling has dual effects. Immature osteoblasts respond with stimulation of proliferation, while in differentiating osteoblasts FGFs induce apoptosis. The proapoptotic effect of FGF on osteoblasts can also be demonstrated in vivo in transgenic animals overexpressing FGF2. We are presently investigating the mechanisms by which FGF induces apoptosis in differentiating osteoblasts and the physiological role of this phenomenon in intramembranous ossification, i.e. the formation of the flat bones of the skull. By introducing mutations into the FGFR2 gene, in ES cells, we are also attempting to create mouse models of craniosynostosis, to better study in vivo the alterations of osteoblast proliferation and differentiation that lead to these syndromes.

For my wife and me, introducing our kids to the outdoors has been an exercise in careful design. If you're passionate about hunting, and you want to share all that it has to offer with your children, then I'll bet you've considered the options. Not every hunting adventure is a positive one. Temperature, weather, and the mood of the game generally have some bearing on the outcome. While seasoned outdoorsmen and women learn to cherish every outing, it's the exhilarating successes that keep us coming back for more. So, how do we ensure that our kids develop the same propensity for all things outdoors? The answer is simple - make their experience as fun, comfortable and successful as possible! Aside from choosing the times and places you take them, one of the most important steps you can take is ensuring that they have the right equipment. Provide them with weather-appropriate clothing, and age-appropriate gear, and chances are their experience will be a good one.
Think back to when you first started hunting. Whether you began either as a youngster or later in life, I'll bet you can remember the equipment you used. Odds are it wasn't the greatest. Today, you probably have an appreciation for finer equipment and high-tech clothing. You likely have at least one or two quality guns, bows, camouflage outfits and footwear. Furthermore I'll bet you acquired these, at least in part, to make your outdoor experiences more enjoyable.
We all know that kids outgrow "stuff" quickly and it can be a pricey proposition to equip every youngster with all the goods, particularly when they'll outgrow many of them before the calendar year is through. Therein lies the dilemma; do we want them to adopt our outdoor lifestyle or don't we? I'm not suggesting we re-mortgage the house, but with a little planning and strategic shopping we can get the job done and equip our kids nicely for their own adventures in the field. Provide them with the right clothing and tools and you're likely to groom a lifelong hunting partner.
Comfortable and Functional Clothing & Footwear
The first time we take are little kids hunting, many of us frantically search to find oversized camo sweatshirts or whatever else to cover them. We quickly learn that this is only a band-aid and ultimately it pays to equip them with their own gear. Set them up with the right clothing and footwear, and they'll enjoy their time outdoors a whole lot more!
Parting with hard-earned cash on camo outfits that probably won't fit in a year or two can be a tough pill to swallow. But remember, you've got options. Speaking pragmatically, several manufacturers are making high quality and affordable outdoor apparel for kids. Designed to fit, keep them warm, camouflage them, and offer protection from the elements, kids outdoor apparel is a necessity. But there are other, less obvious benefits as well. Remember, your motivation needs to be introducing and retaining their interest in hunting. With that in mind, everyone likes to feel as though they are part of a team. For hunting adventures, the team uniform is camo. By equipping them with their own clothing, you give them a sense of belonging to the outdoor team. Trust me, kids love it! My girls are right in their when mom and dad suggest we go hunting. They know where to find their hunting garb and they're anxious to put it on when the time comes.
Kids love getting dressed up in the team uniform.
I've looked a lot of places and certainly kids hunting clothes can be found here and there, but in my experience Bass Pro Shops is the most affordable and they offer a great assortment of kids' clothes. While I've had basic coveralls and light jackets for when they're really young, as Chelsea in particular has grown, I finally bit the bullet and got her a set of lightweight RedHead cotton/polyester pants, shirt and cap. These work great for the very early season, but we needed a solution for mid-to-late season. After much deliberation, I finally decided on the RedHead Bone Dry bibs and parka. Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, this stuff is awesome! Chelsea remained warm and dry during each outing last fall. The added bonus - for my youngest, Paige, who is now four - she'll grow into this outfit when her older sister advances to the next sizes.
Bass Pro's RedHead makes a line of outdoor apparel for kids that is second to none.
Footwear is equally important. Today, companies like Rocky make a great assortment of kids' footwear. A good pair of boots is important for you and it's important for them. They must be durable, waterproof, and offer good support. I recently picked up a pair of Rocky BearClaw boots for each of my girls and they are perfect! With 800 grams of Thinsulate insulation, they are warm. They have a camo nylon and brown PVC trim for durability, and the outsole offers great traction.
Rocky makes their BearClaw hunting boot just for kids.
The rule of thumb with kids' hunting clothes, much the same as any other outdoor gear, is to ensure that it's comfortable and practical for the activities they'll be participating in.
Rifles and Shotguns for Hunting
Chances are for those of us introducing kids to hunting, we're doing it as early as possible and that means long before they should be handling guns, but what about when they come of age? Although jurisdictional regulations may vary, in my home province of Alberta, kids can hunt at 12 years of age. I know of some states where kids can hunt as early as six years of age.
Regardless of whether you introduce a young person to rifle hunting or shotgun hunting it's not so much the activity that matters but the tools and the instruction that go along with it. Shooting sports require safe practices. In turn, equipping a young person with an age-appropriate firearm and good hearing protection is the first step to ensuring that they have a safe and enjoyable experience. I remember when I turned 12, I was given a single shot 20 gauge for my birthday. On one hand I'm a firm believer in teaching young people to shoot with a single shot firearm, but on the other, with proper instruction at the range prior to hunting season, a responsible young person can certainly handle an auto-loader or pump with ease. Fellow outdoor writer, Mike Hungle, recently introduced his son to the hands-on hunting experience. Picking up a Browning Micro Silver 20 gauge autoloader chambered for 3" shells, this shotgun has been the perfect introductory piece of equipment for his son Kyle. It's lighter to swing and carry; in turn, it's safer to use. Later in the season, Mike has since introduced Kyle to deer hunting. By giving him a smaller caliber rifle and providing him with a Bog Pod shooting rest for stability, 12-year-old Kyle knocked down his first buck with a well-placed bullet from a Remington .243. Following an exceptional season of hunting waterfowl and whitetails, Kyle was introduced the right way and with the right equipment and, in turn now shares his dad's passion for hunting. Believe me when I say Kyle can't stop talking about his amazing first fall and now, having just gone through his second, he's got a long roster of waterfowl and couple more deer under his belt. He is well equipped for hunting and continues to enjoy it more and more with every outing.
Archery and Bow Hunting
With the ever-increasing popularity of bow hunting, introducing kids to archery is a great way to expose them to the shooting sports. Archery teaches young people a range of shooting skills and many jurisdictions allow kids to hunt at a younger age with bow in hand. From the time Chelsea was old enough to sit in a backpack I brought her on bow hunting expeditions. Likewise she and Paige both accompany us when we're out practicing with our bows. Last year we took them to the indoor range and outdoor 3D range at our local club, giving them a hands-on opportunity to shoot bows themselves. In my experience, archery is no different than other outdoor pursuits; give kids the right equipment and they'll enjoy the activity tenfold. Provide them with gear that doesn't fit or doesn't work and you may as well forget it altogether.
Equipping kids with age and size-appropriate bows will make their outdoor experiences that much more enjoyable.
As a result, I've spent a good deal of time shopping and researching the best options for equipping them with archery gear. While there are a few other options out there, in my view, Bear Archery is where the buck stopped for the smallest of children. Beginning at around age three on up to age eight, their kid-friendly bows and accessories are the way to go. Right at about age nine, they can begin moving up to higher end compound bows and several manufacturers make a variety of really good options. For starter bows, I picked up Bear's Brave 2 compound bow set for my oldest and the Lil' Brave 2 recurve for my youngest.
Relatively small, the Brave 2 measures only 30" axle to axle, has a 20 to 22-inch draw length, and has a variable draw weight that ranges from 17 to 22 lbs. This compound bow has 65% let-off and the set comes with a quiver, arrows, armguard, finger tab, arrow rest, and sight pins. Ideal for youngsters keen to emulate your archery practice, this set is a great package to equip your young person with. Alternatively, if a compound is too much, among an assortment of youth bows, the other one I'm particularly impressed with is their Lil' Brave 2, a 47" recurve bow. With a lower draw weight of between 8 to 12 lbs. the Lil' Brave 2 is a great starter bow for smaller kids. As they develop skills, options are many for higher poundage bows that meet legal requirements for hunting.
The bottom line with any hunting equipment is that it has to fit and perform well for the child in order to be effective. With proper instruction, lots of practice, and decent equipment, kids pick up skills quickly. Provide them with the right gear and you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll develop a hunting protégé.

Toxic algae level already high in lake
GRAND LAKE - Blue-green algae toxin levels in Grand Lake already are more than 20 times higher than they were last year at the same time. Blame the weather, officials say.
Samples taken near Celina's water intake pipe show the levels for microcystin - a liver toxin - were 46.4 parts per billion (ppb) on April 12 and 46.2 ppb on April 18. Last year they were 2.3 and 0.4 ppb in corresponding weeks.
"So much of that is weather related, and it got so warm in March," Ohio EPA spokeswoman Dina Pierce said. "It's the warmer weather that usually causes it to start blooming."
Pierce said she could not say whether the recently completed, $5 million lake alum treatment will lower toxin levels; alum is meant to target and deactivate phosphorous, algae's main food source.
"It doesn't directly affect toxin levels, it affects the phosphorous levels, which can ideally reduce the amount of blue-green algae," she said.
Microcystin levels fluctuated throughout 2011, dipping as low as 0.2 ppb in March to a high of 43.4 ppb in June.
The state's protocol for harmful algae blooms is posting an orange advisory sign on state water bodies if toxins exceed 6 ppb and warning the elderly, very young and people with compromised immune systems not to swim or wade in the water. A red advisory sign is posted when toxin levels exceed 20 ppb and there are one or more probable cases of human illness or pet deaths from algae toxins.
Scott Fletcher, ODNR spokesperson, said water samples will be taken from the three public beaches on Grand Lake about a week before Memorial Day, the traditional kickoff to the recreational season.
New this year, permanent algae signs with photos and blue-green algae information will be put at Grand Lake's beaches and state boat launch areas, as well as 13 other lakes in Ohio that have had toxic algae blooms. Those signs go up next week.
The lake's second alum treatment in two years, meant to combat algae blooms, ended April 30.
The state applied alum to the roughly 4,900-acre center of the lake and used about 1 percent more chemicals than last year. The state spent $3.4 million for the treatment in 2011.
Documents from the state show the cost for alum increased 35 percent from last year, and the price of sodium aluminate, a buffer that keeps pH levels even so fish aren't harmed, rose 24 percent. The state this year also hired a prime contractor, Donahue Ideas LLC, and a consultant, Tetra Tech.
HAB was the sole contractor last year. Tetra Tech provided services in 2011, but the state didn't pay for it because the firm was on loan from the U.S. EPA.
Fletcher, who was the project manager for last year's treatment, said the state hired Donahue because it also wanted the licensed engineering firm to study algae blooms at two other lakes - Wingfoot Lake near Akron and Burr Oak Lake near Athens.
Columbus-based Donahue is a qualified engineering firm in Ohio, while Lincoln, Neb.-based HAB is not, he said.
"So it included doing other than just putting alum on (Grand Lake)," Fletcher said. "We wanted a well-qualified firm with expertise investigating water quality issues."
None of the $5 million for this year's alum treatment was used to study blooms at the other two lakes, Fletcher said, adding that $50,000 was allocated from parks operating funds for that purpose.

We just found this picture in our inbox with no explanation attached. Why did Shane take a picture of his Walmart pizza and send it to us?
We think it might have something to do with the maddening lack of cheese. Uh, gross. Thanks for sharing that, Shane.
We will continue our previous policy of not eating food from Walmart. If you'd like to more closely examine the pizza, you can click for the hi-res version. We love our job.—MEGHANN MARCO

Behind Asia Logan's 12th career double-double and Brianna Kiesel's season-best scoring performance, Pitt women's basketball won the middle of its three games in the Duel in the Desert.
Logan posted 22 points and 10 rebounds, Kiesel poured in 25 points and the Panthers topped Louisiana-Monroe, 76-61, Friday afternoon at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas.
Pitt (7-5) pulled ahead, 18-11, in the first 8:29, and never relinquished the lead, putting Louisiana-Monroe (4-7) behind by as many as 20 in the first half. Logan scored 14 points in the opening 20 minutes.
Logan made 9 of 15 shots (60 percent) from the floor and Kiesel sank 10 of 19 (52.6 percent) to lead the Panthers' shooting dominance. Pitt made 48.4 percent from the field and held the Warhawks to a 39.2 percent clip.
But shooting wasn't the only mismatch in a game that Pitt led 39-28 by halftime. The Panthers made all 10 of their free-throws and the Warhawks made 15 of 22 (68.2 percent). Pitt finished with a 36-22 scoring advantage in the paint, while also outscoring the Warhawks on the fastbreak, 16-7.
Ashleigh Simmons paced Louisiana-Monroe with 18 points.
Brittany Gordon registered a career-high eight assists and Loliya Briggs added 14 points for the Panthers, who conclude the Duel in the Desert today against Washington.

In the weeks leading up to the draft, Perfect Game will be providing a detailed overview of each state in the U.S., including the District of Columbia, as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. These overviews will list the state's strengths, weaknesses and the players with the best tools, as well as providing scouting reports on all Group 1 and 2 players as ranked in Perfect Game's state-by-state scouting lists.
Vermont State-by-State List 2011 Vermont Overview Vermont Overview: Little Reason for Scouts to Venture to Vermont Even when the University of Vermont fielded a baseball program and would occasionally produce a drafted player, Vermont ranked dead last among the 50 states in terms of producing draftable baseball talent. With the Catamounts disbanding their baseball program following the 2009 season, leaving Vermont without a Division I program, there is even less reason for scouts to travel to the state. The state has had no drafted players in five of the last six years, and none is expected to be selected this year. No high-school player from Vermont has been drafted since 2002, and over the 47-year history of the baseball draft, only 38 players have ever been selected out of Vermont colleges or high schools. Righthander Tony Baldic, who led Mt. Anthony Union High to the state Division I prep title a year ago, was regarded as Vermont's top baseball talent entering 2012, but elected not to even play baseball this spring. Vermont in a nutshell: STRENGTH: None. WEAKNESS: Dratable talent. OVERALL RATING (1-to-5 scale): 1. BEST COLLEGE TEAM: Middlebury. BEST HIGH SCHOOL TEAM: Brattleboro HS. BEST OUT-OF-STATE PROSPECT, Vermont Connection: None. Top 2013 Prospect: No prospect. Top 2014 Prospect: No prospect.

Conehead Bunny Leech (swap fly)
Here's my swap fly.....
Cone head bunny leech (yellow) Hook: 2XL, size 6 Head: Gold cone, size to match hook Thread: Yellow Unicord, 6/0 Ribbing: Copper wire Body: Any dark yellow dubbing Tail: Yellow zonker strip Collar: Yellow deer hair 1. Place the gold cone head on the hook, place the hook in the vise, and start the thread. Form a thin and even thread underbody. Bring the thread back to the rear of the hook. 2. Tie in a length of copper wire at the rear of the hook. Ensure that it is well secured. 3. Dub the body forward, stopping approximately ½ way up the hook shank. 4. Take the hook out of the vise. Get an eyeball measurement of where the zonker strip will be in relation to the hook point when it is tied in. It should extend from ½ way up the hook shank (where the thread now is) to about a hook shanks length behind the fly. Using a bodkin, punch a hole through the strip and slide it onto the hook. Place the hook back into the vise and secure the lead end of the strip with thread. Secure the remainder of the strip with the copper wire by winding it forward over the remaining unsecured strip, starting at the hook bend and stopping at the thread tie-in point. Three or four wraps of ribbing should do it. Tie the wire off so that its nice and secure. 5. Tie in three or four bunches of deer hair just ahead of the zonker strip tie-in, but behind the cone head. When complete, push the cone head back against the collar. There should be about 1/5 to 1/4 of the hook shank remaining in front of the cone. Whip finish the thread behind the cone after the collar is complete. 6. Start the thread again ahead of the cone. Jam the cone back against the collar and build up a thread base that will maintain the cones new position. Whip finish and apply head cement if desired. 7. As a final step, trim the deer hair collar so that its uniform around the hook shank. It can even be trimmed to follow and continue the taper of the cone head if desired. This pattern has proven itself for crappie, perch, and smallmouth bass. Yellow is the best color for me, but Ive also had good results with black, white, and white with a red collar. If you dont enjoy tying with deer hair, this is a nice pattern to build your confidence because the cone head actually acts as the packing tool.

Pattern update....
I've found that the body of dubbing can be easily replaced with an appropriately colored ice chenille. If you're not a fan of having to dub bodies (like me), this might be a good alternate. The fly is just as good, and maybe even a touch better because of the added subtle flash provided by the chenille. Also, I've been asked why I bother to put the zonker strip through the hook point vs. just tying it in zonker style (i.e., an anchor point at the hook bend and an anchor point at the tie off for the strip). The reason is one of balance....with the strip impaled on the hook and then lashed down by the ribbing, it lies very straight behind the bend. When tied in zonker style, it tends to roll this fly a bit, regardless of the strip length.

text: That Mushfiqur Rahim is the most hard-working player in the current Bangladesh line-up is pretty obvious from his day-to-day training schedule. He is generally the first one to show up at practice, spends the most time in the nets and is always on the forefront during an optional training day. While there are no doubts about his dedication to the game, his performance in the first Test, which saw him drop at least four catches behind the stumps at crucial moments, led many to question if the captain-cum-wicketkeeper had felt the heat of handling multiple responsibilities. A person who does not mince words, Mushfiqur was pretty direct regarding his performance behind the stumps. "I don't remember when such a thing happened last. I think this is the first time. After I dropped the first catch (Kaushal Silva) and saw him go on to score runs and then a century, it really felt bad. It felt as though the team would lose because of me, "And I guess being amidst these thoughts led me to miss the other catches. It can happen in the game and unfortunately it happened to me, which is very wrong. I am the captain of the side and if I don't lead the team from the front then they will be morally down," said Mushfiqur at the post-match press conference yesterday. As a player Mushfiqur has to carry thrice the burden in the team and while it's too early to talk about the inclusion of a separate keeper in the side, the more important thing for him would be to not let one aspect of his game come in the way of the other. Minutes before lunch in Bangladesh's second innings Mushfiqur was bowled while going down the track to Dilruwan Perera and attempting to play an expansive drive through cover. It was unlike him and seemed to be a result of the frustration that had built throughout the Test. Then again, having multiple responsibilities in the side can be a positive as well. A high-flying catch or a brilliant century can always help regain one's confidence. And at this point of time it seems as though that is exactly what he needs. After the match, Mushfiqur stated that he would think of all the positive moments that the team had spent in the last two years in order to gain confidence ahead of the Test in Chittagong. For the hosts's sake one would hope that his 'revival strategy' works; after all a gain in confidence for the captain would no doubt be a huge moral booster for the entire team, something they are desperately in search of.

Dry Ground Conditions Continue to Create Crop Issues
Posted By News On @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The dry weather we have experienced lately is continuing to affect area crops says Jim Fawcett, ISU Extension Field Agronomist. [simage=3593,400,y,center]
He says the latest problems are spider mites on soybeans. Fawcett says it is unusual to see spider mites this early in the year, but the dry weather has caused them to appear in the southern third of Iowa.
Another issue is potassium deficiency in corn. This comes from dry surface soils where the roots don't function properly.
Fawcett says farmers should start scouting their fields for the spider mites and use insecticides to control them. He adds the corn problems can be fixed if we receive rainfall.

On March 31st, the CFPB issued its Consumer Response Annual Report.1 According to the Report, which reviews the complaints received by the CFPB during the 2013 calendar year, the CFPB received 163,700 complaints—an 80 percent increase over 2012. The Report summarizes the complaints by category and companies' responses to them. The top three complaints in 2013 were:
Mortgages: The most common complaint regarded mortgages, accounting for 37 percent of overall complaints. Consumers complained most about issues relating to loan modifications, collections and foreclosures.
Debt collection: The second most common complaint regarded debt collection, accounting for 19 percent of overall complaints. Consumers complained the most about collectors attempting to collect debt not owed, communication tactics by the collectors, and collectors taking or threatening illegal action.
Credit reporting: The third most common complaint regarded credit reporting, accounting for about 15 percent of overall complaints. Consumers complained the most about incorrect information on their credit report.
Companies responded to in a timely fashion to 99 percent of the complaints, but monetary relief was granted to consumers in only about 7 percent of the complaints. The Report also details the types of non-monetary relief consumers received. These types of relief included alternatives to mortgage foreclosure, restored lines of credit and corrections to credit reports.

GW Men's Water Polo Drops Two in Regular-Season Finale
Colonials to Learn Southern Division Championship Seeding on Monday
Nov. 2, 2013
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The George Washington men's water polo team concluded the regular season on Saturday afternoon with a pair of losses at Navy's Scott Natatorium, dropping the first game to Mercyhurst, 9-8, before falling to the host Midshipmen, 16-12.
GW (12-11, 3-5 Southern) will learn its seeding for the upcoming CWPA Southern Division Championship on Monday evening. The event will take place next weekend, Nov. 8-11, at Navy.
The first game of the day was tight throughout as neither team led by more than two goals. Mercyhurst held a 3-2 advantage after the first quarter, but the Colonials rallied back to tie the game at 5-5 at halftime. GW held a 7-5 lead with 1:49 to go in the third quarter and led 8-7 after three, but the Lakers scored the only two goals of the final period, including the game-winner with 3:57 to go, to claim the 9-8 victory.
"It was a great game right from the start all the way to the very end," said Head Coach Scott Reed. "It was really a defensive battle in the fourth quarter. Great effort from everybody."
Despite the loss, GW's counterattack and man-up offense were each working against Mercyhurst, as the Colonials scored four goals in transition and three in extra-man situations. GW's remaining marker was a penalty goal.
Senior Daniel Tyner led the Colonials with three goals and added two ejections drawn and a penalty drawn. Senior Nate Little also tallied multiple goals with two to his credit. Sophomore goalie Connor Dillon recorded 10 saves.
GW led, 2-1, with 2:36 to go in the first quarter, but Navy scored the last two goals of the period to take a 3-2 advantage after one. A 4-1 second quarter gave the Midshipmen a 7-3 halftime lead, but a six-goal third period pulled the Colonials within three at 12-9. That was as close as the Colonials could get as they fell, 16-12.
"It was actually a very good game throughout," said Coach Reed. "We played really tough, we played aggressive. I'm quite pleased with our progress despite the two losses."
Junior Ridvan Pehlivan recorded two goals and eight ejections drawn to pace the Colonials. "He had an absolutely standout game; he played like a monster," Coach Reed said.
Little, senior Paul Deasey and junior Brian Mojica also scored twice for GW, and Dillon had eight saves.

2014 could be major F1 sponsor UBS' last season in the sport.
We reported a year ago that the Swiss global financial services company, having entered F1 in 2010, is now considering pulling out.
It was reported that current chief executive Sergio Ermotti was studying the wisdom of the deal entered into by his predecessor Oswald Grubel, who also took Credit Suisse into F1, and was a former BMW-Sauber board member.
Now, Schweiz am Sonntag newspaper reports that the EUR 40 million per year UBS sponsorship looks set to end.
The report said that, officially, the decision will be taken shortly, "but this is only a formality", as the exit has already been internally agreed.
