Energy-efficiency strategies and proper siting can increase the effectiveness of solar pool heating systems or sometimes make them unnecessary.
Solar pool heating (SPH) is cost-effective for extending the swimming season and increasing comfort in outdoor swimming pools. But, as with any heating system, addressing energy losses first will maximize the system's efficacy and performance, and provide additional savings.
Pools themselves are solar collectors. According to NREL's Conserving Energy and Heating Your Swimming Pool with Solar Energy, between 75% and 85% of the sun's energy that strikes a pool's surface is converted to heat energy. Many seasonal pool owners capitalize on this and use their pools without supplemental heat. In hot climates, pools may need shade to prevent overheating.
The best opportunity to reduce a pool's energy use is proper siting. The pool should be placed in an area that maximizes the solar gain when it is most needed. In climates with a short swimming season, such as those in northern areas, it is best for the pool to receive unimpeded sunlight from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. during summer. In hot climates, it can work out best to site for maximum passive gain during the spring and fall, when the pool's heat loss is more significant.
Shading assessment tools can be used to find the best pool siting. Tools like the Solar Pathfinder ($259) or SunEye (starting at $1,995) can assist with this task. A smartphone application that costs $20 to $40 (such as Comoving Magnetics Solar Shading application for Android and Solmetric's iPV application for iPhone) can provide sufficient information for pool siting.
Pools are often sited for aesthetics and accessibility, which may limit opportunities for energy efficiency. While an aboveground pool could be relocated if there is a more appropriate location, in-ground pools do not have such luxury. Instead, tree removal may be the only option for increasing an existing in-ground pool's passive solar gain.
Heat can flow into and out of a pool through conduction, evaporation, convection, and radiation. If there is a difference in temperature between the pool water and the earth (for an in-ground pool) or the air (for an aboveground pool), heat will flow through the pool walls. As pool water evaporates, heat is lost from the pool. Additionally, wind blowing across the pool's surface can extract heat through convection and the surface of the pool will radiate heat to a colder sky.
Climate has a significant impact on a pool's heat loss. For example, evaporation is more pronounced in dry climates. Areas with clear, cold nights will experience increased radiation from the pool surface. At higher latitudes, the earth's cooler temperature will lead to greater heat loss through the walls of an in-ground pool.
Conduction through pool walls. In typical situations, the desired pool temperature ranges from 78°F to 82°F. Therapy pools are warmer, between 92°F and 94°F. Since there is often a temperature difference between the pool water and the surrounding earth or air, heat is transferred through the pool walls.

The countdown is on for the BlackBerry® 10 launch event on January 30th, 2013, and last week we asked you to vote for the BlackBerry 10 feature you're most excited for. When I last checked on the results, you were most excited about BlackBerry Flow.
To show my dedication to you, #TeamBlackBerry, I set out to make a new video for the Inside BlackBerry Blog that shows off BlackBerry Flow with a series of common tasks being performed one-handed. I faced a small problem, though – with all the BlackBerry 10 experts on the road talking to partners and press, it's been hard to find time in their busy schedules. So I tracked down my friend and BlackBerry 10 expert Jeff and, ahem, stole a bit of his time to show me a bit more about Flow.
Here's how it went down:
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
Disclaimer – No Jeffs were harmed in the making of this video. We spent a few hours filming as a bit of fun for our amazing fans eagerly awaiting launch.
Let us know what you think about BlackBerry 10 in the comments below – and stay tuned to the Inside BlackBerry Blog for updates.

Sept. 19, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - One night after waging an emotional battle with rival Harvard, the MIT water polo team was back in the Zesiger Pool to take on Bucknell Friday night.. Despite keeping the game close for two periods, the Engineers eventually fell to the Bison, 12-6, losing for the second time in as many games to drop their record to 3-7 on the season.
Rob Kalwarowsky put the Engineers on the board early, scoring on a man advantage just 1:15 into the game. Bucknell would respond with a pair of first-period goals to take the lead before leading scorer Mike Smith-Bronstein tied the game late in the period. The Bison used three quick second-period goals to take a 5-2 lead. Junior Devin Lewis would provide Tech's only scoring in the period as a pair of goals allowed MIT to remain close, trailing 7-4 at the half.
In the third period Bucknell began to pull away, outscoring the Engineers 4-0 in eight minutes to take an 11-4 lead heading into the final frame. Late goals by Palmer Rosemond and Gavin Darcey would prove not to be enough as MIT fell, 12-6.
Four Bucknell players had two goals, including Sean Coghlan, Beau Caillouette, Gabriel Heiber, and Richie Hyden. Freshman goalkeeper Columbus Leonard had nine saves in net for the Engineers.
MIT returns to action Thursday, September 25 at 7:30 p.m. when they host Brown University.

Editors' note: Confused about how this model stacks up to other Harmony remotes? See CNET's Which Logitech universal remote is right for you? for updated comparisons and recommendations.
When Logitech released the Harmony One in early 2008, it instantly became one of our favorite universal remotes to date. But at $250, it wasn't exactly an impulse buy for the average consumer. With the Harmony 700, however, Logitech has delivered a model that offers the bulk of the Harmony One's feature set and design while lowering the cost of entry to a more wallet-friendly list price of $150. The 700 controls fewer devices (6 versus 15) than the Harmony One, and its more subtle color LCD isn't a touch screen. And, although its batteries are rechargeable, the Harmony 700 lacks a charging cradle (you need to plug in a wall charger). On the other hand, the 700 retains the capability to handle custom multidevice macros ("sequences," in Harmony-speak) which has been stripped from higher-end models, such as the Harmony 900 and the Harmony 1100.
From a design perspective, the Harmony 700 definitely doesn't look as slick as the Harmony One. The matte finish and the somewhat rubbery buttons don't exactly scream high-end, even though $150 is hardly cheap. But pick up the 700, and you'll find that it feels really good in your hand. It's big, to be sure, but it's pretty light, and your thumb can reach most of the important keys on the bottom half with ease.
The remote is roughly segmented into three main areas. The top section is dominated by a square 1-inch-by-1-inch color LCD screen. It's not a touch screen, but there are five buttons--two on each side, one on the bottom--for choosing contextual items on the screen (you can also page through additional screens, multiplying the available choices). The middle section has a five-way directional pad, channel and volume controls, and some standard DVR keys (Menu, Guide, Info, Exit). On the bottom third of the remote, you'll find standard video transport controls and a 12-digit keypad.
A few things we liked: the presence of a dedicated page up/down rocker (good for paging through lists on electronic programming guides), four color-coordinated buttons (for assigning to those unique controls on cable boxes and game consoles), and having both fast-forward/rewind and track up/down controls as separate buttons. Almost all of the keys are backlit; they and the LCD screen turn on whenever the remote is picked up, and quickly disengage after activity stops to preserve battery life.
The Harmony 700 is powered by two AA batteries (Logitech includes a pair of rechargeable Sanyo Eneloops). Unlike recent high-end Harmony models, though, there's no charging cradle. Instead, you'll need to plug the 700 in to a USB wall charger and a Micro-USB cable that plugs into its front end (both included). You'll probably only need to do so about once a month (just leave it plugged in overnight), but it's not as convenient as a cradle. On the bright side, we appreciate that Logitech stuck with standards--you can always use your own AA batteries in a pinch, or use a Micro-USB phone charger if you misplace the provided cable and wall wart.
The setup process is identical to that of previous Logitech Harmony remotes. You connect the 700 to your Internet-connected Windows PC or Mac with the supplied USB cable, install the model-specific version of Harmony software (use the included CD or download from Logitech's Web site), and answer a fairly simple online questionnaire on the company's Web site. You simply choose your home-theater components from a list, explain how they're connected, and define their roles in activity-based functions, such as Watch TV, Watch DVD, and Listen to music. For each function, you specify which devices and inputs the remote must enable. You can also choose which keypad functions will "punch through" to which specific devices--always having the channel buttons control the cable box or the volume controls dedicated to the TV, for instance. After you've completed the questionnaire, the software uploads all the relevant control codes to the Harmony 700.

Alum's Company Cited by Boston Globe [1]
Altra Industrial Motion, whose CEO Carl Christenson is an alumnus and avid supporter of the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (MIE) Department, was recently named as the Boston Globe's number 3 company in its "Top 100" list and its number one industrial company. "From elevators to wind turbines, lawn mowers to warships," as the Globe article (boston.com/globe-100 [2]) noted, "Altra's 20 companies make products that propel and harness the movement that powers industry." Christenson has been a major contributor to the MIE department's new Innovation Shop and Class-E "Exploratorium" student space and has been a leader on the College of Engineering Advisory Board.
As Paula Sakey, the college's development director, said, "Congratulations on Altra Industrial Motion's recognition in Boston Globe's Top 100. How proud we are when we see our alumni make such incredible strides in industry."
The Globe article follows.
IT'S NOT YOUR EVERYDAY industrial sector: motion.
But that's what the many products of Altra Holdings Inc. have in common: They are used in a wide variety of machines and processes that move.
From elevators to wind turbines, lawn mowers to warships, Altra's 20 companies make products that propel and harness the movement that powers industry. The company's clutch brakes are used to start and stop farm combines and oil drills; its gears rotate gun turrets in armored Humvees and power agitators in water treatment facilities; its coupling devices connect wind turbine propellers to shafts, turbines to generators.
Altra itself is also in motion, expanding its global reach through both organic growth and acquisitions. That growth fueled Altra's rise to be number three on this year's Globe 100, and the top industrial company on the list.
In 2011, the company purchased a leading European manufacturer, Bauer Gear Motor, for $69 million. Combined with strong demand from the mining and energy sectors, that acquisition pushed Altra's 2011 revenue to $675 million, 30 percent over the previous year. Even without counting the Bauer acquisition, revenue was up 17 percent. And net income soared to $38 million for 2011, a 54 percent jump over the previous year, with a profit margin of 5.6 percent, well above 2010.
Yet despite Altra's strong performance, it has kept a low profile. Its 40 product lines are marketed under niche brands that are well known in their fields, if not by the general public.
"We have a wide variety of products, serve a wide variety of industries, and make a lot of components that go into other products,'' explained Carl Christenson, Altra's chief executive.
The company, which is headquartered in Braintree, was founded in 2004 through the acquisition of the Colfax Power Transmission Group by the San Francisco private equity firm Genstar Capital. At the time, the company consisted of a collection of well-known power transmission brands, including Boston Gear, Nuttall/Delroyd, Stieber, Warner Electric, and Wichita Clutch. Following the sale, the company made several strategic acquisitions that doubled its size, and in 2006, Altra went public.
Today, the company's wholly owned subsidiary Altra Industrial Motion Inc. serves as an umbrella for 26 facilities in nine countries, with sales coverage in more than 70 nations. Its products are at the heart of machinery in a variety of end markets, including aerospace, energy, food processing, general industrial, material handling, mining, petrochemical, transportation, and turf and garden. Although the company has just 40 employees in Braintree (primarily executives, along with financial and marketing managers), it has more than 3,450 employees worldwide.
According to chief executive Christenson, the company uses a management approach based on the famed Toyota Production System - with its emphasis on long-term vision and constant improvement - to run its many companies. "It helps us closely track short- and long-term goals, with the goal of continuous improvement,'' he said.
Christenson said that since the company was founded in 2004, it has steadily increased its value through an even mix of organic growth and acquisitions. "Last year's revenues of $675 million was a benchmark for us,'' he said, "but we see the growth continuing. We expect to be a billion-dollar company within the next three or four years.''

It's hard to call buttons a trend, as they've been a staple for many years in scrapbooking. What I will say is that buttons were going new creative places and popping up in all kinds of interesting ways at this CHA show. Today I am going to take a look at some of the exciting new offerings that were seen at CHA.
The photo above is from the Crate Paper booth, a company that is known for their amazingly detailed and beautiful offerings, and they've added some new designs into their mix this show as well.
Here are four new fantastic neutral button sets. Clockwise from top left we have Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 for Blossom Bucket, We R Memory Keepers, Jillibean Soup, and Basic Grey. I really like the unique textures and designs of each set, as well as the fact that they are neutral so they will work with any colors.
Now let's look up close at a line that is filled with a lot of notions and button embellishments: French General for Jolee's Boutique from EK Success. I really like that the line is organized by color, and how useful these pieces will be with the French General papers, or with any other brand as well.
Here is a close up shot of the new Dear Lizzy Neapolatin line buttons for American Crafts – I really like the wood buttons and I think it brings a fun texture to the offering.
October Afternoon has some buttons that are solid color, but done in such fantastic colors and with some great floral detail as well which will make them useful for all kinds of projects – and they'll work with many other brands of papers as well.
Speaking of color, here are some more fun new choices: (left to right, above) Teresa Collins, Doodlebug, and Fancy Pants. All three mix great colors and a good variety of sizes as well in their offerings.
One of the cutest lines on the show floor – and some of the most unique buttons – are from Rhonna Farrer's "Follow Your Heart" line for My Minds Eye shown above. I really like the trendy patterns and unique shapes used.
We are seeing buttons mixed in with other shapes and embellishments as well. Above is a new dimensional embellishment that in addition to birds also features adhesive-backed buttons with stitching.
Finally, let's take a look at Buttons Galore & More [photos by Melissa Stinson] – a long time manufacturer of buttons (and a Scrapbook Update sponsor). They have really great solid and basic buttons in a wide variety of styles. They also have some unique sets and shaped buttons as well.
Overall with a continued focus on vintage, rustic, and whimsical styles in paper crafting products that buttons go so very well with, I believe they will continue to be a popular item. There are some really interesting designs and types becoming available from painted to wood to other materials as well.

Funimation hates PS4
Kinda cute guy + accent = t(w)eenage girl magnet.
Personally, I find that his sense of humor rubs me the wrong way, and I'm not interested in watching forced seeming ear rupturing reactions, so... meh. I wouldn't care about him in the slightest if it wasn't for the fact that his fans can get really obnoxious on other people's channels and elsewhere on the internet.
He doesn't have cookies, he's unlikable.
Remember kids, the barrels are evil!
backstreet's back
He's really obnoxious. it isn't an opinion. It's a fact.
But he plays good games. And he's hilarious in his own way. So I'll give him credit.
NEW ACCOUNT: galaxiias
I think he's funny but the fame has gone to his head.
I much prefer Griefers who troll on games and post the reactions on Youtube its just too damn funny. KillerKarrit, MRLBX, Pixskull and SapranoPictures are my favs
♥♥♫♥Its so good gal turn me on♥♥♫♪
I don't think I've ever watched any of the people people have commented about.
I feel left out.
thats the guy whos target audience is 8-12 year olds right?
wut is dis
He's so bad, if you find him funny you aren't mentally stable or either that you think liking him will make you more sociable, due to your down syndrome. If either of those aren't correct the only conclusion is that you are probably dumber than an ostrich.
Nothing at all.

...Your insults don't exactly make too much sense. You might want to work on those. I would also like to add that while the ostrich isn't the most intelligent bird out there it is by no means stupid.
Since you may take my post to be in defense of pewdiepie I will clarify that I only found three of his videos entertaining and the others that I attempted to watch to be so bad I could not finish them.
he's funny, even if he is faking it
get em teddy ◟ʕ╬ᴥ╬ ◟ʔ
I never liked Pewdiepie, but I can relate to what you're saying about the early days of his career.
Used to watch a guy called TobyTurner when he made a youtube channel dedicated to "Let's play" videos.
I don't think they get worse, they just don't change much and it eventually becomes stale and you start to notice things that actually bothers you rather than entertain you.
Oh and I forgot to emphasize my point...
These guys are regular people like you and me.
Reaching Youtube fame/popularity in such a massive degree could really throw you off and make you forget what you wanted to do with your content to begin with. I think this is what happens to most of the big youtube names.
And some people are just easely amused, which is not meant as an insult, it's just the truth.
They don't require of people like Pewdiepie to come up with fresh new content because one video a day with him doing his usual thing is more than enough.
And if he can thrive off of that, and his fans finds his content satisfactory, well it's a win win situation for everyone then, right?
Too much hate on these forums.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
pewdiepie was good when he first started, but like the topic stater said, he isn't that funny any more and over reacts on everything and screams just to make people laugh.
he also uses his stupid puns over and over again and they are getting so old..
psxoospandfails is funny, they make decent minecraft videos and remin me of the yogscast a little bit
Feeling da love!
I've never watched a video, but I assume it's the 'zany guy plays video games that have just come out or are popular right now - with funny faces and catchphrases' formula.

Bottom line: at this point of the season, a couple of series past the All-Star break, the Royals look like a team teetering on the brink of a precipice.
In the columns I have previously written about the Kansas City Royals, I have tried to make it a point to do some research and be able to back up my statements with facts and/or statistics.
To those who appreciate actual journalism, I apologize in advance, because this column is going to take on the tone of a wild-eyed, lunatic rant. It's just going to be a guy irrationally spewing venom with no supporting evidence other than what he has observed in recent weeks. I'm going to come across as a slobbering, raving, crazy man who has no data to go on, just emotional reaction.
So be forewarned. I will not be submitting this column to the Kansas Press Association as an example of responsible journalism. I will probably not be proud of this column, but it's going to accurately reflect the way I feel about my favorite team right now.
Bottom line: at this point of the season, a couple of series past the All-Star break, the Royals look like a team teetering on the brink of a precipice. At any time, I fully expect them to go into freefall and possibly even finish this season with a worse record than last year. There will be screaming all the way down as KC plunges off the cliff, coming from the legions of fans (like me) who were swindled into believing that somehow this year was going to be different.
I predicted going into this season that the Royals lack of offense was a concern, that it would probably keep them from contending, but that they would probably finish about 6 games under .500 and 3rd in the AL Central. They would at least show some improvement and give us hope for 2014. I was way too optimistic.
Now I'm thinking that not only is this season destined for the ash heap of history, but there is no hope for the immediate future either. The Royals are nothing more than a house of cards, and that unstable structure is about to be toppled.
The Royals' pitching has been the foundation that kept them within striking distance of the .500 mark for the first half of the season, but we can see now it is like the proverbial house built upon sand. The top of the rotation and the closer are the only pitchers that can still be counted upon.
The relief corps continues to struggle, with no "firemen" coming out of the bullpen to strand base-runners and squelch rallies. Inherited runners are scoring with alarming frequency against the Royals' increasingly shaky pen.
Also, the back of the rotation has become problematic. Back in the day when the Boston Braves had only two pitchers they could rely on, the poem developed: "Spahn and Sain, then pray for rain." With the Royals it has become "Shields and Santana, then get ready to throw up in your mouth for a few days." Not as catchy, doesn't rhyme, and a little bit disgusting I admit…but it's true.
The offense is getting even worse, if that is possible. Alex Gordon and Billy Butler are just average major league hitters at this point. Hosmer's batting stats have improved, but he's still way too impatient when he comes up with RISP. Salvy is OK, but the rest of the order is just awful.
The Royals need to be sellers at the trade deadline. The problem is, they don't have anybody that anyone else is going to want. Or at least not want them bad enough to give up anything of value in the deal. The only players the Royals have that are worth anything are Shields and Santana, Holland, Gordon and Salvy. And maybe Billy Butler.
If they trade Salvy, I will be done as a Royals fan. I don't think they'll deal Holland with no viable alternative at the closer spot. (Herrera's incompetence has made Holland untouchable.) Even though he is currently slumping, I still can't imagine Gordon, the All-Star Gold-Glover, being traded.
So what's going to happen is, Santana is going to be dealt this year and Shields is going to be dealt next year. Neither is going to re-sign with KC once their contracts are up, so the Royals will undoubtedly trade both so as to at least 'get SOMETHING for them before they become free agents'.
And what will they get for them? You know it will be "prospects". I'm so sick of "prospects." For years we have been holding out hope that our "prospects" would finally emerge to lead us into the promised land. Butler, Gordon, Moustakas and Hosmer have each in turn been touted as the Royals' savior. To date, only Gordon has turned into a solid, 2-way major leaguer. And although a decent player, even Gordon isn't a Miguel Cabrera— the type of guy that can transform a team, make everyone else around him better just by his presence.
No, what's going to happen is that the Royals are going to have to trade away their star pitching, and then they're going to be the same team they were last year, and the year before that, and the year before that. I think the Royals went "all in" this year, gambling that bolstering the pitching staff would turn the tide of the team's fortunes. The bet was that the Royals' position players would come around and that, with the addition of solid pitching, the team would become a winner— generating enough revenue that perhaps they would be able to afford to re-sign the pitching when their contracts expired (and that the pitchers would WANT to re-sign with KC.)
It is apparent now that the Royals went "all in" with only a pair of deuces in their hand. Their bluff has been called. You look at teams like the Indians or the Orioles, and it is glaringly obvious that the Royals are so far from being at that caliber, it's dishearteningly ridiculous.
True, the month of July has been a tough stretch of schedule for KC. The worst team they have played is the Yankees. But you're not a good team until you beat the good teams, and the Royals aren't there. And without some cards to play, the Royals aren't going to get there. And unfortunately, the cards the Royals have to play are very soon going to be wearing other teams' jerseys and Royals fans are going to again be hoping and praying that a new crop of prospects will somehow turn into something.

Much like the radio, the officer may show you how to use the shotgun release in case events break bad and help from you is needed. Don't be like a certain ride-along that kept playing with the shotgun release during a call. Pushing the button and moving the shotgun repeatedly will make for a very nervous officer. It's best to trip the release only when the two of you really need you to do so.

I think it's time to revisit the subject of too many visitors bringing dogs on vacation.
It is getting out of hand and it seems no one abides by the rules when it comes to renting to vacationers. There is an ordinance on the books that specifically says no dogs on the beach in Walton County without a permit and only during certain hours.
It also states you cannot obtain a permit unless you are a full time resident here. It's a joke! Every day there are numerous dogs on the beaches with their owners who are not abiding by the rules, and most of them are from out of state.
Just yesterday we witnessed a Walton County patrol driving down the beach, and when he thought he spotted a dog he turned around and drove back by. He pulled up next to the owner and the owner carried the dog off the beach. Shortly after that my husband was walking down the beach and spotted more dogs on the public beach area at Pompano Joe�s.
These were all big dogs much more than 60-70 pounds and one lab broke from his owner and went after a child knocking her down and scaring her to death. I could hear her screaming from where I was. A child that was sitting with his mother next to us had an ugly scarring on his little cheek next to his mouth and his mother commented that it was from a dog bite. This child is scarred for life.
I also witnessed a couple with two large pit bulls walking on the bike path just inside Okaloosa County on Scenic 98.
My question is what is it going to take to get the proper authorities to enforce the laws that are already on the books and put a stop to people that bring two, three and four very large dogs on vacation? Is it going to take a child getting torn apart or killed by one before it is stopped and before owners stop renting to people that bring their dogs? Is it going to become an ever-increasing problem for those that want to have a nice vacation without the worry of dogs?
I am not a dog hater. I have grand dogs and a great grand dog, that I love dearly and one is a very sweet chocolate lab, but he is huge and I won't let them bring him anymore when they vacation at my house, because he has just gotten too big. The one time we had him here I called about a permit so we could let him run late in the afternoon on his long retractable leash and was told we couldn't get one because "they" weren't residents.
It is getting to be a problem more and more every day. I have never seen it this bad in the 30 years I've been around here. I think it is time for owners that rent to vacationers to be fined for not abiding by the rules and laws. They have a responsibility to inform renters that visitors� dogs aren't allowed on the beach, at all, at any time. If they can't take them to the beach then maybe they will not bring them.
A weight limit should also be a priority in all vacation rentals and that would help some. Most vacationers won't pick up after their pets either because they figure it isn't their house or condo and they are paying for a vacation so why bother � just let the rental company, cleaners and the owners worry about the mess.

Post subject: All-new quiver for intermediate+ : recommendations?
It's one of those rare times in life when all stars have aligned. I basically destroyed both my sails last fall, leaving me wide open for a brand-new quiver. Authorization from my beloved boss was forthcoming, so I'm looking for 2-3 new sails and whatever masts/booms they need.
Can anybody provide some recommendations?
Here are some details:
- Winds here are 10-20 knots, but go to 30 on a "good" day
- Sail mostly 2-5 foot chop on Lake Michigan
+ in Holland Michigan, breakers at the sandbar 20 meters from shore
+ in Chicago, typically in the higher wind ranges
- Intermediate: can't quite waterstart or pull off a carving gybe
- One Bic Techno 160L board (2006)
- One Exocet Cross 118L board (2010)
- One 185L Bic longboard (2001)
I used to sail a 7.0m and a 6.5m on the 160L Techno (just got the Exocet). Over about 20 knots I felt badly overpowered. On light days in Holland I'm often happy just displacement sailing on the longboard, taking in the sights.
Right now, I'm thinking of picking up a 6.0 and a 7.0, but I could also see going maybe 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 if that's going to vastly increase my range.
What do you all think?

I sail in Chicago. Rather than giving you specific brand options, certain strategy will produce efficient non-redundant sails with minimal gear. You need light wind capability, and the 160 can handle a big sail. How big do you ever want to go? Sounds like you don't want a 490 mast, a 460 mast generally handles up to a 7.5 sail, get a 7.5. Check out the boom lengths of the various brands, you might be able to get one boom for the whole quiver if you choose the right sails and the boom brand that covers the spread. Next sail down is a 6.0 and will probably need a 430 mast. Next sail down after that is a 5.0. Some brands call for a 400 mast for their 5.0-- avoid if you don't want to get another mast. If you plan right, you can get 3 sails, 2 masts, 1 boom, cover from medium light wind to everything except the biggest blows on Lake Michigan. dhmark

If I had to go to only two sails, it would be a Sailworks 7.0 Retro and a Hucker 5.6. These two sails both have incredible range, and both can be rigged for tractor-like power if desired. You could add a Revolution 4.6 for those high-wind days if your budget allows. I have had very good luck rigging my Sailworks on other masts, too, although they work best on the specified mast, as do all sails.
Someone will want to point out that I'm a teamrider for Sailworks, which is true, but I would buy them anyway if I weren't, since after sailing NP for years, then Gaastra,
I've never had better sails than I do right now.

Hot Sails Maui is closing out their Liquid Model on their web site, a free ride sail perfect for your needs, whole range up to 7.5 will rig on a 430 mast. I have never used this model, have sailed and currently own many other Hot Sails, I completely trust the quality and suitability of their sails. dhmark

You should look at James Douglass sail calculator to help you out. Your weight is an important factor in deciding.
You are thinking about getting sails that are too close together in my opinion. At 210 lbs, my current quiver is 9.0, 7.5 and 6, with old smaller sails that I don't use much. Tuning your sails allows them to cover a bigger range.
It is also important to make sure your sails fit well your boards. I guess a 6.0 would be perfect for you 118, a 7.5 would fit both the 118 and the 160 and a large 9.0 or 9.5 would fit the 160. If you were to go with Ezzy, two masts (430 and 490) would be enough. I currently have 3 masts that I bought used for the price of a new one...
And a note about displacement sails. If you just want to relax, an old Dacron sail without full lenght battens is the best. They are super light and catch the slightest breezes easily. You should be able to find one free if you don't allready have one. Mine is about a 6.0.

I sail on Wolf Lake and on Lake Michigan out of Gary or Calumet. I'm 170lbs and have : 136 ;112 ;93 lt boards /converting SUP into WindSUP right now as well/ and 9.0 and 7.4 no cam freerides; 5.8 crossover and 5.0 power wave sails. I like my quiver for our conditions and would stay within +/- 0.2 max. May add a 4ish one in the future eventually .

In your last quiver, our two sails were much too close together. Even 6.0 and 7.0 is a very close for a 2 or 3-sail quiver. You can probably go 5.5 and 7.0, or 6.0 and 7.5. For my freeride/freerace sails, I'm using 5.5 - 7.0 - 8.5.
Most sails from the last few years have a big range so that even a 5.5 and 7.0 overlap a bit. You could get the 3rd sail later, either going smaller or larger depending on what wind conditions you get more often. Or for 3 sails now, go something like 4.7 - 6.0 - 7.5.
Keep in mind to match the mast(s) to the sails, though. Some sails work reasonably well with mismatched masts, others do not, but all sails will work best if the mast bend curve matches what the sail is designed for. I would
go by what someone who is selling the gear is saying about compatibility, unless it's the same brand mast and sail.

You know guys, I think if more of us give him and others with simmilar questions more info about ourselves , like our weight, level , conditions we are sailing in, our most used sails etc. etc. it will be more helpfull instead guessing around what he's needs and desires are and what he can afford. The people reading this forum are smart enough to make their own decisions. They just need exemples IMHO.

i have lots of sails. sometimes, they look very redundant. but, if one gets trashed in the impact zone, then having a back up helps a ton. won't ruin my day if i get a failure.....
if one has to get the least, perhaps one should think: storm, average and light winds. i tend to think of my charge 5.8 sail as the sail i use the most when the wx guessers are saying, "storm's acomin." the most common "storm" tends to be 16-34 or so, with lotsa variations all day. so, i end up staying on my 5.8 for longer than i ought to some days when the wx guessers are saying, "storm's here."
5.2, 6.5, and 8.5 is what i would choose if i had to stretch out my budget so. again, i don't want to do that....
6'3" 210 lbs. wave sailing and blasting. that's what i do. flat water blasting i try to stay in shape by rigging big and trying new non-jumping transitions. that way i can pull something out of my adze if i get stuck in a hoary situation in the surf.

You could try these guys: http://www.royalthaisupermarket.co.uk/dried-kaffir-lime-leaves-50g.html - about $1 an ounce.Since it's dried it shouldn't be a problem coming through customs.Edit: just checked shipping, $6 with shipping for 2 ounces.Also, do you have to have fresh? These are dried... If they're for putting in a beer, dried should be doable?
Jeebus. At those prices why don't you just buy a whole tree?http://www.amazon.com/Kaffir-Grafted-Dwarf-Container-Growing/dp/B0038DHMMA
All of the citrus growing regions of the US are under quarantine. This may be why it is difficult to find fresh leaves.

NEW YORK — About seven years ago, the Broadway producer Daryl Roth saw an oddball British movie called "Kinky Boots," about a struggling shoemaker who turns to the fetish-footwear business, and had a flash of inspiration.
"Not everyone I talked to believed it could work as a Broadway musical," she said with a laugh on Tuesday. "But the movie had what I thought could be a really good blend: a very different world than many people knew but a lot of heart that they could relate to."
On Tuesday, Roth's outlier thinking was validated. With a book by Harvey Fierstein and a score by Cyndi Lauper, the stage adaptation of "Kinky Boots" received 13 Tony Award nominations, more than any other show, including one for best musical.
Roth's comments prove an apt description not only of her show but of the larger Tony field, which Broadway veterans noted Tuesday contained a thread of the idiosyncratic but was still largely accessible. If there were few Disney-style blockbusters, there was also little "Book of Mormon"-style subversiveness among this Tony crop.
"Matilda, the Musical," the adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel about a British boarding school run by a fearsome headmistress named Miss Trunchbull, picked up 12 nominations, also including best musical. Like "Kinky Boots," say those involved with the show, "Matilda" walks a line between dark and uplifting.
"People ask me what audiences like about it," said Bertie Carvel, the actor who, in drag, plays the Miss Trunchbull character. (He received a nomination for lead actor in a musical.) "And I say that while it is a dark show and there are some pretty dark things, it's about how children view the world, and who can't relate to that?"
The theme of the slightly challenging crowd pleaser held on the play side as well.
Nora Ephron's final work, "Lucky Guy," scored six nominations, including best play and leading actor in a play for Tom Hanks (his first Tony nomination), for its portrayal of the New York tabloid newspaper world through the character of the dying journalist Mike McAlary.
A fellow best play nominee, "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike," also picked up six nods, with a mix of comedy and drama. Christopher Durang's work tells of sibling friction in a dysfunctional family in Bucks County, Pa.
Even arguably the most difficult work of the season, a revival of the brutal Edward Albee drama "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," had a degree of relatability.
"I think what works about our show is that no matter all the terrible things Martha and George say to each other, there is a love underneath that," said Amy Morton of the play's main characters. Morton landed a leading actress in a play nomination.
The Tony committee felt similarly: It handed the show five nominations, including best revival of a play.
The relatability has paid dividends at the box office. Though a number of weeks this year have lagged behind corresponding weeks of a record-setting 2012, when total receipts hit $1.14 billion, returns have still been strong, fueled particularly by new shows such as "Matilda," "Lucky Guy" and "Motown: The Musical."
But if the Tony committee was happy to go for accessibility in subject matter, it shied away from that when it came to actors. Well-known Hollywood names were overlooked in the acting categories, including Bette Midler ("I'll Eat You Last"), Al Pacino ("Glengarry Glen Ross") and Alec Baldwin ("Orphans").
The season was marked by a supposed lack of original ideas. The first part of the season, in the fall, saw a host of revivals, many of which received tepid reviews and closed quickly. But the spring, when many of the most highly nominated shows opened, offered some relief.
"There is a lot that's original out there," Roth said. "But it's not easy to do. It's only easy after it becomes a hit."

Charged with stalking, gun theft and leaving a note telling a woman he'd kill her horse if she didn't have sex with him, a Henryville man plans to plead guilty to two of the offenses, his attorney said.
Charged with stalking, gun theft and leaving a note telling a woman he'd kill her horse if she didn't have sex with him, a Henryville man plans to plead guilty to two of the offenses, his attorney said.
Xavier Papo Liciaga-DeJesus, 18, waived his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday before Mountainhome Magisterial District Judge John Whitesell.
In Monroe County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 bail as of Thursday, Liciaga-DeJesus plans to plead guilty in Monroe County Court to burglary and stealing a gun, said defense attorney Jason LaBar.
Though he has no prior criminal record, Liciaga-DeJesus could face one to two years in state prison because of the serious nature of the charges, LaBar said.
"As to why he did this, I can't really say for sure," LaBar said. "He tells me he's employed, though I don't know where or as what. I suspect he was stealing for more money to try to support the baby he has on the way."
A state police affidavit gives the following account:
On April 19, Robert Fenderlander Jr. called police to the Paradise Township property he and Katherine Fitzgerald share and reported the theft of a $200 .22-caliber Heritage Rough Rider revolver. It had been in a holster on the wall of a cabin on the property.
On May 14, Fitzgerald called police back to the property to report the thefts of a $500 Android Razor cellphone, a $700 iPad and $250 in cash from her business office/horse barn.
Police responded to the property a third time May 22 and were told Fitzgerald had found a note in her vehicle, according to court papers.
Written on an election postcard, the note read, "If you wanna (expletive deleted), come naked to the orange truck and you better or your horse will die."
Police saw the orange work truck referenced in the note.
Surveillance video showed a male, later identified as Liciaga-DeJesus, looking through a front window into the business office/horse barn earlier that day. Fitzgerald was in the building when Liciaga-DeJesus was looking in through the window.
The investigation led police to Liciaga-DeJesus' apartment May 23.
When interviewed at the Swiftwater barracks later that day, he told police he had gone to the cabin on the property, opened the door which had the keys in it at the time, seen the gun in the holster on the wall, grabbed it and fled. He said the gun was then placed in the unfinished ceiling of his brother-in-law's basement.
Liciaga-DeJesus also admitted to stealing the iPad, cellphone, money and a laptop computer from the office/barn and taking those items to his apartment. In addition, he confessed to watching a woman through the window of the building he had stolen those items from and writing the note she later found in her vehicle.

Business insiders say investing in coal or oil power plants will be cheaper.
The National Assembly, Vietnam's top legislature, decided to scrap the country's nuclear power plans for the central province of Ninh Thuan on Tuesday after business insiders pointed to uncompetitive prices.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed an end to the project on November 10, and the motion passed with 92 percent of legislators' votes on Tuesday.
The project has been ended due to economic reasons, not safety or technological issues, heard a conference that followed the assembly's vote.
Mai Tien Dung, chairman of the Government Office, said that Vietnam's economy has gone through significant changes since the project was approved seven years ago.
The country now needs money to invest in infrastructure to boost socio-economic development and to solve problems caused by climate change.
"We want to focus our resources on strategic national projects," Dung said, referring to the north-south expressway and Long Thanh Airport in southern Vietnam, which is expected to ease the burden currently faced by Tan Son Nhat Airport in HCM City.
In November 2009 legislators approved a project to build two nuclear power plants with a combined capacity of 4,000 megawatts, which was expected to meet 5.7 percent of the country's total electricity demand by 2030.
The cost of the project has escalated from the original estimate of VND200 trillion (nearly $9 billion) to VND400 trillion.
Dung said Vietnam's power supply will not be threatened without the Ninh Thuan project as the country has plans to invest in coal-firedand natural gas power plants with a total capacity of 6,000 megawatts by 2030.
Duong Quang Thanh, chairman of the state-owned Electricity of Vietnam, said that: "Other sources of energy such as coal and oil are cheaper, so investing in nuclear power is no longer competitive."
Officials from the trade ministry said the infrastructure and personnel already in place for the nuclear power project will be put to use at other power plants.
Dung said the Russian and Japanese developers for the nuclear project respect Vietnam's decision.
He said Vietnam's withdrawal from the project will not affect its relations with these countries.

There are several reasons why people take the time to fully bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs for car shows and individual enjoyment. One of the main factors individuals invest a lot time, energy, and money bring back 1969 ford mach mustangs is the power that is included because particular mustang design. The engine upgrades that were offered during the launch of the 1969 ford mach mustang for sale in Carney MI transformed the mach mustang from the average household car into a racing lovers dream.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. After it was seen on television and in print it was wanted by every blue blooded American. Everyone wanted to be the first to buy A mustang in Carney MI.Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 devices for the very first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Buy Vintage Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but numerous changes were made at the conventional opening of the brand-new model year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made enough difference to necessitate designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has endured with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Carney MI are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automobile history that the Huge 3 were having to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first variation however, due to the extra equipment needed to fulfill brand-new US emission and security regulations, was much heavier than the very first design. Efficiency was decreased and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Carney MI were offered between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was revamped a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for four people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 rate automobile and Ford developed 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Weekend posts
She's rapidly turning into my favorite model...mainly because she works almost for free. This is my daughter the shopping maven. We were out on Saturday at the Tulsa flea market, various thrift shops, and Gardner's Books, the latter a favorite of my kids since they were toddlers. This shot was taken in the cafe using window light, and I think it turned out well. She's giving me the oh-so-patient "Stupid Father Look" which will someday morph into the Stupid Husband Look. I'm in no hurry to see that happen.
All these shots were taken with a Yashica Electro 35 GLN, the same camera I purchased at last week's flea market. I cleaned the exterior and the rangefinder assembly, installed new seals and a new battery, and exercised the shutter. It works fine but may be underexposing a bit. I gave this camera to a friend yesterday. He's going to run more film through it, and if it's consistently underexposed I'll adjust the autoexposure diaphragm. It's very possible to install a voltage regulator in one of these cameras - lots of space. So I'll look into building a 5.6v regulator also.
Here she is in the stacks. A few days ago, I did a similar shot of her mother. Neither of them like to be photographed. I like the way the rectangular pattern of her coat seems to be the same as the more of less rectangular patterns of the books.
I staked out the Dungeons and Dragons reference book rack, hoping that someone would pause long enough for a snapshot. I was not disappointed. It drew an eclectic group of people, but I never realized it was a spot that encouraged spontaneous worship. Maybe there's more to this D&D stuff than I realized.

Marv Quinn is at an age when it's tough to take on the grunt work of a homeowners association – planting, trimming trees, watering. But if that's what it takes to protect his home, so be it.
The seeds of Quinn's new unpaid job started more than a year ago when Quinn opened his front door and was as stunned as I was – full disclosure, I live on the cul-de-sac. Without notice, workers were chain-sawing down some two-dozen pines that had protected a slope across the street for a quarter-century.
Looking at a bunch of stumps, the kind of dead growth that firefighters call fuel and bare earth that Quinn fears could turn into mudslides during rains, the property manager thought he'd simply wait for the association to clean up and replant.
With much of the slope resembling a logged area, Quinn is still waiting. He believes part of the problem is association revenue. If so, he's not alone.
An organization called the California Association of Homeowners Associations reports these are hard times for such organizations, so hard that some are doing everything they can to save money.
• • •
If you're like me, you pay your association dues and try to forget about what seems like a tacked-on cost of living. Yes, millions of Americans manage to live just fine in association-free zones. Of course, you live with neighbors' quirks.
After we bought our first home, the woman next door to us in Long Beach scattered pebbles in her front yard and spray-painted them green thinking the effect looked like grass. It looked like rocks painted green.
A few houses down, a family erected a 10-foot-tall white rococo fountain in the front yard, painted their chimney red – covering the lovely color of real red bricks – and stored a massive blue yacht in the driveway.
When we moved to Orange County, we boldly entered the world of what real estate agents call CC&Rs, what my wife and I learned meant covenants, conditions and restrictions. My wife was annoyed that we couldn't paint our house any color she wanted.
After renting a place near railroad tracks as a young reporter in southwestern Michigan, I pointed out we'd never see a rusty car hubcap-deep in mud.
Despite a warning about an oil spot on our driveway, we've been OK living with CCRs. But things are changing.
The California association puts the crisis this way: "Dues have gone up, costs have gone up, but for many associations, reserves are not able to keep up with the financial demand and in the meantime, the associations continue to get older which in turn requires more maintenance and additional costs."
What's an association to do?
"In order to survive," the California association advises, "expenses must be trimmed."
• • •
When the pines were killed, Quinn says, workers rolled logs down the hill, crushing ground cover. "It made a huge mess everywhere. It ruined landscaping."
A petition from our block protested the condition of the slope. It was sent to the City of Mission Viejo and to Mission Sunrise Ridge Homeowners Association, which owns the slope.
Understand, the street is the dividing line between two associations. One homeowners association handles the homes along the street; the other handles the slope 35 feet away.
Quinn, a former homeowners association president, calls Mission Sunrise "the out of sight, out of mind association." He notes that the slice of slope on the ridgeline just below Sunrise homes is green.
Mission Sunrise ignored the petition, Quinn tells me. He adds the city sent an official but Quinn was told the same thing the city told me. Mission Sunrise asked for a permit to cut down 28 trees; permit granted. Why? It's Sunrise property.
Heck, even the state Attorney General's Office admits it "has limited, discretionary authority to intervene on behalf of homeowners who are denied certain prescribed rights."
• • •
Rhonda McCormick, community manager for Mission Sunrise, was kind enough to quickly reply to my email with a list of questions: "At this time the association has no comment."
It's a Jason Bourne movie moment in a "Fern Gully" situation.
Consider that McCormick works for Progressive Community Management, responsible for the day-to-day operations of Mission Sunrise. The company promises "recognizing landscape, maintenance, liability and community compliance issues which can be immediately acted upon by management.
"Courteous, positive and objective administration of CC&R compliance."
Progressive doesn't post its CC&Rs. But most are boilerplate. My association, Oso Valley Greenbelt, publishes 385 pages. It states, "The master association shall landscape or plant and maintain in a neat and attractive condition all slope maintenance areas."
Another promise: Erosion control.
• • •
Why log Mission Viejo?
With Mission Sunrise not talking, Quinn believes the trees were cut down because some residents complained about views. Sure, there's irony considering Quinn's front porch view.
After months of staring at now-gray stumps, tangled dead brush and dirt, Quinn dug into his wallet and planted nearly a dozen beds of plants, cut branches to allow enough sun for things to grow and started dragging his garden house across the street twice a day in the summer heat.
He explains he has to water because Mission Sunrise waters so little that plants die. "It seems unusual, but with times and cutbacks and the economy, I kind of understand what they're trying to do.
"But I just think they should have a good neighbor policy."
The Attorney General's Office is so hampered by associations' power, it actually recommends hiring an attorney to resolve most association problems including maintenance.
Quinn is old-school. Instead of fund-draining attorney wars, he suggests Mission Sunrise move beyond its clandestine-like no comment. "If they send out a representative, I'd be more than happy to go over the slope."
Neighbors talking – free yet valuable.

The Arts are often either listed as "in decline" or "under-appreciated" in many national reports. But the Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River has bucked much of the gloomy trend.
In its lifetime, CCA has continued increasing both its community presence and its arts promotion activities to a demonstratively grateful community. This is, in no small part, due to a small but dedicated staff and many supportive volunteers.
Catherine Kiewit, gallery manager for the arts center for the last five years, has been an integral part of the organization's success. But, like any good thing, her tenure at CCA is about to come to an end.
Kiewit recently announced her planned departure date of May 6, to begin a new undertaking. Kiewit is expecting her first child with husband Joe.
"I plan to be a full-time parent once the baby arrives and so I am going to retire as the art center gallery manager," Kiewit said.
According to CCA Executive Director Joanie Thomson, "Catherine has been a significant force in raising the bar of quality for our gallery shows and artist representation."
Thompson also notes that since the opening of the permanent facility on Cascade Avenue, CCA has become the "poster child for an arts organization success story at the state level." Success in the gallery has supported that overall winning model.
"Catherine exemplified a person who can take an idea and run with it. She will really be missed here," Thomson added. Kiewit has also played a key role in keeping the 200-plus community volunteers actively involved in center operations.
"I am truly thankful for the experience and will leave incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve this community in the way that I have," Kiewit said.
Following her departure from CCA, Kiewit notes that she will continue to serve on city council in Bingen and will "look forward to attending First Fridays in the future as a guest."
Ironically, coinciding with Kiewit's leave, CCA will be conducting a month-long "five-year anniversary celebration" honoring the move into the permanent facility while sharing their appreciation for committed patrons.
In an effort to give back to and engage the community, CCA hopes to expand awareness and access to the programs available at the center.
Beginning with the First Friday kick-off event on June 3, CCA will present "Get Centered," a month of arts programming offered for no cost.
Free events will include: two CAST performances of vignettes from past productions, a local film maker night, a concert, book reading, theater reading and writer's workshop and a variety of art classes for both youth and adults.
The art center is now seeking a permanent replacement for Kiewit in the gallery, with a plan to hire in March for an April start, allowing one month of overlap with Kiewit for training.
A job description is posted on the Center's website at http://www.columbiaarts.org/ or contact Thomson at firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline is Feb. 21.

Can you think of a better Earth Ambassador than Bill Nye? And before you say Neil deGrasse Tyson, consider for a moment that his enthusiasm — which, don't get us wrong, is great, but can also be a little overwhelming — could also be interpreted as threatening to an alien race. NdGT can be a little intense. We want somebody cool, calm and collected — but also a little quirky.
Also: bow ties. Bill wears bow ties. He wore bow long ties before they were cool. That's called foresight. Plus we're all onboard with bow ties, right? Right. Then it's decided. Bill Nye for Ambassador of Earth! (We do need one, after all.)

Bucs hope to return to top after winning 2008 title
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 9, 2010) - The ETSU women's golf team will open play in the 2010 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship on Monday, looking to return to the top of the league. The Buccaneers will take on the rest of the A-Sun at the Venetian Bay Golf Club in New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
Each of the last three champions, Campbell in 2007, ETSU in 2008 and Stetson a season ago, won as the host of the event. Campbell also won as the host in 2004. Prior to 2004, no host had won the Women's Championship since UCF in 1990. The Hatters return both the reigning individual champion, Danielle Jackson, and runner-up, Lauren Cate. Lauren Darnell, who tied for 10th a year ago returns for the Hatters. Eight times a defending team champion has won the next year, most recently accomplished by Campbell in 2006 and 2007. Four individuals have captured back-to-back titles with Campbell's Alejandra Shaw, also in 2006 and 2007, the last to do so.
Like Stetson and Campbell, ETSU returns plenty of fire power for the 2010 A-Sun Championships. Sophomore Nina Muehl (Vienna, Austria) excelled in February when she shared first place at the Edwin Watts/Kiawah Island Classic and tied for fourth at the Hurricane Invitational. Sinead O'Sullivan (Galway, Ireland), who has finished inside the top 10 at each of the last two A-Sun Championships and earned the Golfer of the Month award for March, as well as Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia), the 2008 Medalist and runner-up at the 2007 Championship also return for the Buccaneers.
The Hatters added freshman Alexandria Buelow, the conference's top rated golfer, according to both Golfstat and the Golfweek/Sagarin ratings to the lineup. In 10 events, she has finished no worse than a tie for sixth while picking up a pair of victories. Buelow won the Hatter Fall Classic in November and the Cincinnati Spring Invitational last month.
While the Hatters eye a second straight title, Campbell and ETSU stand as two of the top challengers as both hover around the top 50 in the Golfstat and the Golfweek/Sagarin ratings. The Camels, the most successful women's golf program in league history will try for its ninth title in its 16 years in the conference. Only once, in 2003, have the Camels finished outside the top two and never had the Camels gone three years without a team title. Belen Diaz Cisneros and Mary Mattson, both of whom own three top-10 finishes in A-Sun Championship play and have earned All-Conference honors all three years return as does Sandra Angulo, the 2008 Freshman of the Year.
Venetian Bay Golf Club hosts the A-Sun Championship for the first time. The two nines have a different natural character. The front nine plays through more of the wooded portion of the property and the back nine with fewer trees and more parallel fairways, gives it more of a links look. One of the main features of the course is the plethora of strategically placed bunkers, 114.
As part of a multi-year agreement with the Central Florida Sports Commission, the Women's Championship will remain in the Sunshine State through 2012. The Championship will return to Venetian Bay Golf Club in 2012. Victoria Hills, which has hosted in 2005 and 2009, will host in 2011.
Play begins at 8 a.m. Monday with USC Upstate and Lipscomb opening play off the first tee. Fans can follow the action at Golfstat.com.
Fans can follow the Atlantic Sun on Twitter and on Facebook. Visit twitter.com/AtlanticSun to begin receiving updates on conference news, weekly awards, and from A-Sun championships.

In Miss Guided, the always-adorable Judy Greer plays a guidance counselor named Becky Freeley who works at her old high school. In a move that recalls the Drew Barrymore vehicle Never Been Kissed, the show does a lot of flashbacks showing what a total loser Becky was back in the day. And though she continues to try to shed her doofus ways, no matter how hard she tries, they come back to haunt her. In the clip above from last night's premiere episode, Becky attends a school dance. Becky wanted to go with the steamy Spanish teacher, Tim, but the hot new English teacher/ former homecoming queen, Lisa, asks him first. Too humiliated to face Tim and Lisa, Becky decides to watch the proceedings from the bushes, and semi-hilarity ensues.
