PATEROS – A woman was in serious condition Monday at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after her family's home burned down last week.
Pat Wood, 72, suffered burns to her face and airway when the fire broke out at about 4 p.m. Friday in the back of their house, located at about milepost 4 on Highway 153.
The cause of the fire was unknown as of press time.
Wood was in the room where the fire began, according to her daughter, Tracy Miller.
Wood's husband, 76-year-old Jack Wood, was in the kitchen when he heard the smoke alarm. He helped Pat out of the house and went back in for their dog, but was too late, Miller said. The dog, Theo, died in the fire.
Jack Wood escaped unharmed.
By the time firefighters arrived on the scene, the fire was already fully involved, according to the Okanogan County Sheriff's Office incident log.
Response came from Okanogan Douglas County Fire District No. 15 emergency medical services and firefighters from Brewster, Methow and Pateros, as well as Okanogan County Fire District 6 from Twisp.
Pat Wood was immediately taken to Three Rivers Hospital in Brewster before being airlifted to Harborview. Doctors were able to remove her breathing tube Sunday.
Doctors are keeping her sedated and monitoring her burns to see if they'll heal on their own or if skin grafts will be needed, Miller said.
Miller, 53, also lives in Pateros. Jack Wood is staying with the couple's other daughter, Pam Irwin, next door while their son Terry stays with Pat in Seattle.
Terry Wood is a doctor, Miller said, and the owner of the house Jack and Pat lived in. The home was insured.
The fire district offered help to the family through the American Red Cross, but the Woods are opting to take care of themselves.
There has already been an outpouring of support for Jack from friends and neighbors, Miller said.
"He is beloved there, and we have such a wonderful community anyway," she said.
Miller expressed gratitude for the rescue personnel.
"They were so comforting and efficient," she said.
"Everybody worked really well together, and they fought a hard fire for a while," District 15 emergency medical services Director Tonya Vallance said.
Eventually the family hopes to put another house in the same spot, overlooking the Methow River. It would be a fresh start for the Woods, who have been married for 55 years, Miller said.

System freezes are starting to crop up on an unknown number of Nintendo's new 3DS portables. While we don't know how frequent the problem is, it's happening enough for Nintendo to include the issue on their official troubleshooting site.
According to Nintendo.com, System freezes that result in a white screen, black screen or inability to power off could mean that your brand new 3DS needs to be returned to Nintendo for repair.
Contacted Monday morning for comment Nintendo of America has yet to respond, though Nintendo UK has told outlets there that any experiencing any problems with their Nintendo 3DS console should first try the latest system update. If the issue persists, customers are told to contact Nintendo's Customer Service centre.
While Tristan's 3DS, which he purchased on Sunday, hasn't had any issues. My system has frozen twice on a black screen. The second time it occurred I was playing Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars and in the middle of the game the system just faded to black, slowly. Then it wouldn't respond, as you can see in the video above.

Until I find a software that will allow me to download the family tree onto this blog site, the following will serve as a preview.
Previously I provided a list of Ole Olson Finnestad Sr's children. The 3rd known generation:
Elizabeth Olson married O.A. Knutson. As of the 1910 US census, Elizabeth had 10 children but only 4 had survived. The only known child as of this writing was Edith Knutson. The other 3 I have been unable to locate.
Ole Finnestad Jr married Caroline Quitno. They had 7 children: "Dina" Josephine, Oliver, Lettie Clara, Alice Marie, (Carrie) Eveyln, Lillian May and Frances Julia Finnestad.
Bert Finnestad married Celia Goodmonson. They had 5 children:
Oscar, George, Minerva (Minnie), Charlotte and Selma Bertha Finnestad.
Rasmus Finnestad married Carrie Goodmonson (Celia's sister). They had 5 children:
Mabel, Goodwin Cornel, Rose Clara and Olaf Finnestad.
In regards to Ole and Mari's other children:
Sarah (Serina), Iverdine, Bertha, Rakel Marie and Mary B - I have been unable to confirm that they were married and/or had children.
Ole and Mari's daughter Maria died at age 3 as previously stated in an earlier post. And the 11th child I believe also died either in childbirth or shortly thereafter - but that is just a guess.
Also, you should note that I have no confirmation as to whether Elizabeth married in Norway or in the United States. Should she have married in Norway, it's not likely she would have taken the name "Finnestad" as there are no records to document that Ole Olson took the name BEFORE arriving in the United States. As a result I am not using the name "Finnestad" for descendants that I cannot confirm came to America; they will remain "Olson".
I have traced further generations of Ole Jr, Bert and Rasmus and will post them later. Hopefully with family tree software that will place everyone on a single document.

Thanks to Vietnamese site, Tinhte.vn, we get to see a nice 7:41 minute demo of the upcoming Curve 9360 device! The device is running the BlackBerry 6 operating system, so I imagine that it's an early prototype - which means the hardware could be outdated as well. They also do a quick compare to the Curve 8900 device. Check out the video above for all the angles, and be sure to leave us some feedback in the comments!

Never thought we'd say this but.....
In our quest to read the existing books on our shelves in 2012, we're also determined to actually watch some of the screen adaptations of the books we'll be reading. First, we'll have to play a little catch-up, though. Last year, we started re-reading the entire Harry Potter series with the intent of watching the movie following each book. You wouldn't think that would prove a difficult task, given that we own each of the Harry Potter movies in DVD. Yet there they all sit...still in their shrink-wrap on their pathetic, little DVD shelf. A Reader's Respite really needs to get on the ball with this if we ever want to see the two finale movies. At the rate we're going, we'll be so old we'll have to use the handy close-captioning features of the DVDs.
Another movie/book combo? Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons. We have the book on our shelf and the movie on our DVR. The movie didn't get the best reviews, but it's a fun incentive to read the book, something we've been meaning to do for years.
Since we bravely signed up for the Game of Thrones reading challenge, we want to follow it up and watch the HBO Series. After all, we should do something to justify the HBO subscription that we've had for two years and never once watched. Never. Once.
War Horse is an obvious choice. We just really, really want to see this movie. A Reader's Respite just finished reading the book and, believe it or not, it wasn't all that great. But this is one of those books that is going to make a fabulous movie.
Another World War I book and movie combo we're going to tackle is Sebastian Japrisot's A Very Long Engagement. We bought this book a few years ago and....wait for it....here it comes....never got around to reading it (surprise!). The story of a wheelchair-bound young woman searching for her fiance who was left to die on the battlefield, the movie almost looks more compelling than the book.
And we'd be remiss if we left out the upcoming (May 2012) airing of the BBC's production of Great Expectations. Before you even ask, NO, A Reader's Respite has not ever read this classic by Charles Dickens (*hanging head in shame*). May is really right around the corner, though, so we're thinking about watching the movie first, then tackling the book. Is that breaking a cardinal rule of the Bibliophile's Honor Handbook?
Any other book/movie combos that we really shouldn't miss? Let us know!

I started listening to the first Game of Thrones book in the spring. I have 4 hours left on the fifth one. Totally addicting.ReplyDelete

I think when it comes to Dickens, book before movie! Much more enjoyable that way! Have fun. Great Expectations is my favorite of his.ReplyDelete
I love Dickens! Great Expectations is a great book; I can't imagine watching the movie first.ReplyDelete
I didn't know there was a movie for Cold Comfort Farm. I have the book out from the library at the moment.ReplyDelete
I really want to see War Horse, but I know that I am going to cry...a lot!
I have read Great Expectations, so will definitely be looking forward to watching the adaptation.
And finally I have wanted to read A Very Long Engagement for the longest time, but my library doesn't have the book. Time to look for an ILL I think!
What a fun project! I really need to get back to both watching and reading Game of Thrones... I really enjoyed the book A Very Long Engagement, but I have never seen the movie.. For shame! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Ok, so I'm guessing from what you all are telling me that I really need to read Dickens first. Alright, but it's gonna take me a while so thank goodness for DVRs. Ha!ReplyDelete
I'm with you....I know how daunting it can be not only to read a series but then to also watch the movies!! I could probably do Harry Potter and watch the movies pretty quickly but I am not 100% sure on that though :). I am also going to read Game of Thrones and then watch the HBO series, season 1...but I'm not sure that I will be able to read the second book before Season 2 starts but we shall see :)ReplyDelete
That's a fun list. I recently added Cold Comfort Farm to my list of "Classics to Read." Didn't even know there was a movie version.ReplyDelete

Lycoming scored in the top 100 of all sites rated. "We were elated to learn that our website was selected as one of the top 100 in the country," said James Spencer, vice president of admissions and financial aid. "The site was developed knowing that it had to appeal to both prospective and current students, faculty, alumni and the general public. Not an easy task, but we were particularly pleased with our high score for ease of navigation. What good is a website if people can't find the information they seek?" The College's website can be viewed at www.lycoming.edu. The site is managed by Lycoming's web committee, which includes Spencer; Elizabeth Greenaway, web content coordinator; Dave Heffner, associate dean of information technology and chief information officer; Robert Krepshaw, web designer; Jerry Rashid, director of college relations; and Casey Spencer, college relations specialist. It boasts links to key information, including financial aid and scholarships, visitation programs and the application process, as well as College videos and profiles of students, faculty and alumni. MyCollegeOptions.org is the nation's largest online college planning program, and is operated by the National Research Center for College & University Admissions. For 40 years, NRCCUA has served to link high school students and colleges, universities and the resources they need to succeed. Rankings stem from a research-based analysis that measures how well college and university websites provide information to prospective students to assist them through the application process. The study grades institutions on a 100-point scale, including functionality, design and technology components. This year's study examined 38 different criteria in four main categories: Ability to Find Desired Information, Personal Contact with Admissions Staff and Students, Online Interactive Tools and Website Design and Navigation. Lycoming College is a four-year, residential liberal arts and sciences school dedicated to the undergraduate education of 1,400 students. Located near the banks of the Susquehanna River in Williamsport, Pa., the College fosters academic rigor, a supportive faculty and successful outcomes. It offers 36 academic majors and is recognized as a Tier 1 educational institution by U.S. News & World Report. Founded in 1812, Lycoming is one of the 50 oldest colleges in the nation.

Metallica Sidesteps Complexity And Gets 'Heavier, More Groove Oriented' On Next Album
Metallica just celebrated their first thirty years as a band, and now, they're off and running into their next thirty. The band has begun to work on songs for the follow up to 'Death Magnetic,' a record which many saw as a real return to form. Drummer Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone, "We're about seven, eight songs into it. We do it in rounds. We come up with something, we leave it, go to the next thing, come up with something basic, leave it and circle back around."
The band will once again be working with legendary producer Rick Rubin, who was behind the board on 'Death Magnetic.' "The stuff we're coming up with is more groove-oriented," added guitarist Kirk Hammet, "a heavier version of what we were doing in the early '90s. If 'Death Magnetic' was a logical successor to '...And Justice For All', the next album will be a heavier Black Album," adding, "We're not going to the depths of complexity that we did for 'Death Magnetic'."
The metal legends have also been keeping busy with other projects. There was, of course, the controversial 'Lulu' recordings with Lou Reed, which most Metallica fans, it seems safe to say, hated. But they rebounded with a run of 30th anniversary concerts late last year, and now comes word that a Metallica movie in in early production stages. Lars gives a hint of what fans can expect. "Imagine if you took (Led Zeppelin's)'The Song Remains The Same', which is 75 percent concert, 25 percent other stuff, and flipped it around. And all the non-concert footage, instead of being about the band members, is a story that unfolds, set against the backdrop of the concert." The movie is being financed by the band and will be in 3-D!
If that's not enough, the band has plans to perform the 'Black Album' in its entirety at some festivals this summer in Europe, plus, there's a new CD version of the "Beyond Magnetic" EP, previously only available as a digital download, that contains out-takes from the 'Death Magnetic' sessions. That Metallica train keeps rolling along full steam ahead. Now when do we get the "logical successor" to 'Ride The Lightning?'

This year's Kanellakis prize goes to Robert Schapire and Yoav Freund for their work on boosting. They had previously won the Gödel Prize in 2003 for their paper "A Decision Theoretic Generalization of On-Line Learning and an Application to Boosting".
Jennifer Rexford has won the Grace Murray Hopper Award.
With a mixture of pride and regret I point out that all three are AT&T Labs alumni.
If you want to know more about what these awards are given for, visit the ACM Awards page. The Kanellakis prize commemorates an achievement that spans theory and practice (has theoretical heft and has shown to be effective in practice). The Gödel Prize acknowledges a single journal paper that has had great impact in the last seven years. The Grace Murry Hopper Award is a 'young achiever' award, given to researchers below the age of 35. The Turing Award, of course, is the computer science "Nobel" for lifetime achievement. The Knuth prize is the theory lifetime achievement award.
Gödel, Turing and Knuth need no introduction. Paris Kanellakis was a professor at Brown who died tragically in a plane crash in 1995. He was one of the pioneers in database theory. Grace Murray Hopper was one of the first programmers of modern computers, the first compiler designer, and is attributed with the coining of the term 'bug' to describe an error in a program.

While most corn growers are thinking about the 2012 crop, seed companies are now determining just how much corn seed to produce for the 2013 season, and beyond.
It's a complicated balancing act that uses current sales, product demand, trait choice, customer feedback and sales force projections, among other factors, to determine which corn hybrids to plant, and in what quantities, to meet demand that at the time is probably the farthest thing from their customers' minds.
"Most of the challenges to the seed production process are the same challenges that producers face…wet soils delaying optimal planting times, early freezes, drought, to name a few," says Tom Bockhaus, Pioneer director, supply planning and logistics. But added to the issues of producing the seed are the challenges of ensuring that sufficient amounts of the right hybrids are produced and delivered to the end user.
With only one shot to get producers enough seed, especially the hot new hybrids on the market, seed companies have increased their reliance on South American production. "While some products can be produced in North America, many new items are grown for the first time in South America, relying on new inbred seed which is increased in North America, harvested as soon as possible, and then flown to South America for planting," says Tom Strachota, general manager for Dairyland Seed. "If there is a delay in the North American parent seed harvest or South American planting, things get quite delicate."
Forecasting supply and demand
Throughout this process, customer demands also can change. "Market forces and product performance can frequently cause customer demands to change between forecasting time and actual demand need," Bockhaus says. "The challenge is to have the right product at the right time as the true demand firms up."
Long-range planning can last 12 to 18 months for commercial seed that's supplied to producers, up to 24 to 30 months for parent seed production. All this is done with the same logistical and weather challenges that the customer faces. But shortages at any point of the cycle can severely impact supply.
"Production is always an exciting business," says Eric Taylor, corn supply chain manager for Syngenta. "One of the most important processes is forecasting hybrid seed yields. Approximately 18 months before farmers receive their seed, Syngenta has to forecast the amount of seed that can be produced from an acre. There are several factors that play into that decision, which are different for each hybrid."
Even though statistical models exist to help define the seed production forecast, "you end up feeling like the weatherman since your targets are never exactly right," Taylor says. "Each individual field and its associated weather events is a chance to prove you wrong with a higher or lower yield."
Rick Henley, corn business lead for Mycogen Seeds, says the company has a comprehensive forecasting and production planning process, "which is comprised of one part 'tell' and one part 'ask.' The 'tell' part is the strategic direction from management regarding new traits and technology; the 'ask' part is comprised of a lot of field input on existing traits and products."
Still, the bottom line for corn seed production mirrors that of grain production: Poor weather conditions during the year can bite into production totals, and companies must hedge their bets to ensure that enough seed is available to meet demands.
At press time, the tight seed corn supply was in the spotlight as producers worked to get final orders, while the seed industry was ensuring demand is met. Of major concern were the high-end hybrids, where much production was shifted to South America due, in part, to poor North American production in 2011. Concerns of a tight seed supply in 2012 were echoed last fall, and companies were securing acreage in South America.
Early ordering
Producers were given heavy incentives to order early for their 2012 seed corn supplies. It's a trend that has become more prevalent, seed company representatives say.
"Over the long term, there has been a movement toward ordering earlier," Bockhaus says. "Our sales staff completes the overwhelming majority of its invoicing prior to the end of December for products planted the next spring. One reason for that is the diversity of genetic choices offered and the need to get orders in early to get the choices they want. Also, we provide incentives to order early through our early pay savings program. In this past season, growers were ordering early for those reasons and concern about perceived seed shortages."
Henley says that short supply years typically drive early ordering, early pay and a demand for earlier delivery.
Although many producers request a single delivery of their entire seed order, the complexities of hybrids being grown in South America may complicate that request. "This year, many producers were quite willing to take seed earlier and also take partial shipments," Strachota says. "That is a definite change from prior years."

Following are some of the possible harms suggested by Professor Greenfield:
* Social network sites are putting attention span in jeopardy. If the young brain is exposed from the outset to a world of fast action and reaction, of instant new screen images flashing up with the press of a key, such rapid interchange might accustom the brain to operate over such timescales. Perhaps when in the real world such responses are not immediately forthcoming, we will see such behaviors and call them attention-deficit disorder. It might be helpful to investigate whether the near total submersion of our culture in screen technologies over the last decade might b linked to the threefold increase over this period on methylphenidate, prescription, the drug used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
* Social networking sites can provide a constant reassurance that you are listened to, recognized, and also important. Instead the face-to-face, real life conversation, which is far more unpredictable and stressful than the computer mediated one happens in real time, with no opportunity to think up clever or witty responses, exposes your voice tone, body language, and probably even your emitted pheromones (which are molecules that transmit mainly sexual and social messages that others perceive unconsciously).
* Real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these sanitized and easier screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing, skinning and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages of meat on the supermarket shelf. Perhaps future generations will recoil with similar horror at the messiness, unpredictability and immediate personal involvement of a three-dimensional, real-time interaction.
* The sheer compulsion of reliable and almost immediate reward is being linked to similar chemical systems in the brain that may also play a part in drug addiction. So we should not underestimate the 'pleasure' of interacting with a screen when we puzzle over why it seems so appealing to young people.
Following are some of the possible benefits:
* Social networks will become people's new communications hub. They already provides a diverse set of options for connecting with more people than ever, in chat rooms, with IM and in real time broadcasts.
* Information obtained via social networks is more trusted than non vetted information. Just like in the real world where I would probably ask my lawyer friend for legal advice, we will begin our online searches first within our social networks.
* Law of numbers, 2/3 off Americans use one form of social media or another. Social networks are becoming our filter into the big and sometimes overwhelming world of Google. Our networks will help us sort good from bad information.
*Social networking sites actually appears to reduce loneliness and improve well-being, as was reported as long ago as 2002 in the Journal of Social Issues, People who have difficulties with conventional socializing, such as those with Asperger's syndrome, experience great benefits. As for social networking sites being a poor alternative to real-world socializing, surveys reported at a conference in 2006 indicate that Facebook users mostly use it to maintain relationships with people they meet offline.

Yes, I am born and bred in Toronto as well so I have no problem saying it. We are all Hawks fans and there a whole bunch of fans from this board (mostly from Seattle) traveling to Toronto to see the Hawks play which I think is pretty cool. I've been to Seattle years ago where I experienced great hospitality and I feel honoured to be hosting fellow Hawk fans in our great city. I think its our duty as Hawk fans (and humble Canadians) to try and return the favour with some hospitality of our own (even if they think we are all Eskimos who drink maple syrup ... on a side note it doesn't help when Edmonton's CFL team is called the Edmonton Eskimos). I look forward to meeting as many Hawk fans as possible and most of all a Hawk victory!
Go Hawks!
You DO call each other "hoser", don't you? I'd be disappointed if it wasn't true.

Photon gas in a box
First, consider a cubic box with each side of length L that is filled with electromagnetic (EM) radiation (a so-called 'photon gas') that forms standing waves whose allowable wavelengths are restricted by the size of the box. We will assume that the waves do not interact and therefore can be separated into the three orthogonal Cartesian directions such that the allowable wavelengths are:
where ni is an integer greater than zero, and i represents one of the three Cartesian directions—x, y, or z.
From quantum mechanics, the energy of a given mode (i.e., an allowable set nx,ny,nz) can be expressed as
where h is Planck's constant (6.626×10 − 34J s). The number N represents the number of such modes, or photons, of the given energy. Importantly, unlike electrons, an unlimited number of modes, or photons, of a given energy can exist; thus, photons are governed by Bose-Einstein statistics.
Statistical mechanics of the photon gas
To derive the energy density in this photon gas, we first need to know the relative probability with which a given energy state E(N) is occupied at a given temperature. Here, we turn to statistical mechanics, which reveals this probability as
where β is the inverse of thermal energy, or β = (kBT) − 1, and Z(β) is a factor, called the partition function, that normalizes the probability as
where is the energy of a single photon, and the latter equality derives from the relationship between the wavelength λ and the ni indices of the EM waves in the box. This wavelength is related to the speed of light c and frequency ν through the familiar relation
Again from statistical mechanics (and specifically Bose-Einstein statistics), the average energy within a given mode (which is related to the average number of photons N) can be expressed as
Energy density of the photon gas
Now that we have an expression for the average energy of a given mode, we can sum (integrate) over all modes to find the total energy within the photon gas. The total energy can be expressed as an integral over all energies as
where is an important function called the density of states. This function gives the number of allowed modes per unit energy within an interval between and . This function can be derived from the allowable wavelengths and 'n' indices as
Thus, the energy per unit volume can be expressed as
where the integrand is the spectral energy density u. This function can be expressed in terms of energy, wavelength, or frequency through the relation such that different forms of u are commonly used. However, they are each integrands in expressions that are used to calculate the overall energy density as
The corresponding expressions for spectral energy density follow:
Blackbody emission intensity
Now assume that a small hole is cut into the box. All radiation emanating from this hole will be moving at the speed of light c. Also, the radiation will be uniformly distributed throughout the hemisphere of solid angles (2π steradians), and one half of the energy will be oriented such that it can move outward through the hole. The spectral radiation intensity is defined as the rate of energy emitted per unit area per unit solid angle and per unit wavelength. The rate of energy emitted per area is simply the product of the energy density derived above and the speed of light (i.e., the distance swept by a ray per unit of time). Therefore, the spectral intensity becomes
Similarly, the spectral intensity (per unit frequency instead of wavelength) is

As hills go, it's a short one, 60 yards in length at most.
But when you lose a tennis match at Tanoan Country Club, walking up that incline to your car afterward can be as pleasant as a death march.
Sixty-some women from across the globe are at the club this week to compete in the ColemanVision Tennis Championships, a United States Tennis Association Pro Circuit event.
By the finals on Sunday, all of them will have confronted the hill.
The ColemanVision is the minor leagues, but it's triple-A ball, a popular stop with a 75K purse.
Now in its 14th year, the tournament is the oldest continuous professional sporting event in the state. Proceeds benefit the New Mexico Youth Tennis Foundation.
The first person most players see at the ColemanVision is a sturdy, reserved gent wearing wraparound sunglasses and sitting behind the wheel of a roomy golf cart.
Albuquerque's Dave Smith is the event's volunteer chauffeur. He's king of the Tanoan hill, which he rules with a gentle hand.
"It's like a mini-mountain. I'd rather have someone stand at the top with a long rope and pull me up."
-Volunteer Sherry Anderson
Smith, 74, zips about the Tanoan parking lot in a four-seat E-Z-Go cart, gliding silently alongside players or spectators. "Need a lift?" he might ask, his voice soft and welcoming.
The club's 14 tennis courts lie below the parking lot, at the bottom of the hill.
Professional tennis players frequently shoulder hefty duffel bags stuffed with rackets, lots of rackets, and all sorts of paraphernalia, including sports drinks, extra shoes, iPods, Bibles and granola bars.
Smith is there to haul people and gear up or down a paved path set into this precipitous slope.
It's at the base of the Tanoan hill following a match that players and spectators alike are most gratified to come upon Smith and his waiting cart.
"I don't know the hill's grade," he says, "but it's steep. I wouldn't like to hike up."
Because most entrants are not among the world's top 100 competitors, winning one round of singles can help with expenses. Though some players have financial sponsors, many of them travel on bowstring-tight budgets.
Smith can tell if a player has lost or won a match. "If she has an exhausted look and maybe some tears in her eyes, I know what happened. If she is still pumping her fist and seems excited, I know what happened."
"I've seen coaches walking up maybe 20 feet in front of a girl and chewing her out in some foreign language as they go. Maybe that coach is her father, maybe not. It's never pretty."
-David Smith, volunteer chauffeur of the ColemanVision Tennis Championships
Sometimes players don't mind tackling the hill on foot—in a joyous amble if they won or perhaps to inflict self-punishment if they lost.
A loser's trek up can occasionally be painful to observe. The phrase "sucker's walk" from childhood touch football games comes to mind.
"I've seen coaches walking up maybe 20 feet in front of a girl and chewing her out in some foreign language as they go," Smith says. "Maybe that coach is her father, maybe not. It's never pretty."
Smith doesn't talk to a player unless she talks to him first. "If a girl has lost, and I say something, she might snap at me. So I keep quiet."
On Sunday, Amanda Fink, a 24-year-old professional from Calabasas, Calif., won her qualifying match and decided to walk up the hill. Before the tournament began the previous night, Fink had to tote her tennis bag and a bulky suitcase up and down the hill, searching for friend at whose home she would be staying. Smith didn't work Saturday.
"Once you get on the tour, you get used to things like that," says Fink, who is ranked 313.
Macall Harkins, 25, from Palos Verdes, Calif., won a qualifying match Sunday in two hard-fought sets. "After a battle on the court, it's hard to go up that hill," Harkins, ranked 442, says relaxing in the hospitality area and preparing for the climb.
Tournament volunteers are not crazy about facing the hike. "It's like a mini-mountain," Sherry Anderson says. "I'd rather have someone stand at the top with a long rope and pull me up. When you've been on your feet all day, you don't want to walk."
Albuquerque tennis fan Juan Gonzales, 70, scoffs. "Hey, I was a postman for 30 years. My route was mainly in the Los Altos Park area. Thirteen miles I walked each day. Some of those streets had these long rises in them."
Dave Smith comes well-suited for his job. He spent 28 years in the Air Force as a security officer. He did law enforcement on bases worldwide and kept a close watch on an installation's weaponry. That taught him to notice things.
For Smith, that means noticing the cars that park at Tanoan. He knows who drives what, whether it's a rental car or a motor home driven by a player's family.
"The moment you get out of your car, Dave is there," says Amy Badger, who supervises the 90 or so ColemanVision volunteers. "It's uncanny. Dave knows everyone, sees everything. And people love to see him."
"Dave's quiet willingness to help sets the tone here," says tournament director Sue Jollensten.
Before the ColemanVision Championships arrived, women's professional tennis had a three-year run in the city, from 1989 to 1991. It was known then as the Virginia Slims Championships.
One Slims competitor, a happy-go-lucky kid from Spain named Arantxa Sánchez Vicario was a young teen but already a French Open winner. She's best recalled in Albuquerque for gaining the keys to a Tanoan golf cart. Sánchez had no idea how to drive the cart and no interest in learning. As a result, she nearly flattened several people and came close to careening off the club's hill, laughing all the way.
The memory brings a half-smile to the king of the hill. "She was just enjoying being a celebrity," remembers Smith, who has zero interest in being one.

Henning Jørgensen is 50 years old and has been tattooing for 32 years. That's one year less than I've been alive. Royal Tattoo (his shop) has been open in Helsingør for 28 years and 26 of those years in the current location.
I was five years old when it opened…
I sit here in the midst of its history. While Henning works away upstairs like a madman at peace, with a serene fire raging inside him. His eyes are clear and aware, he sees things and remembers them, puts them into motion. When he leaves the shop he heads home to his family, his wife and daughters. His tattoos are flawless, his technique and approach is the same. But there's a humility and open attitude to his approach, he asks opinions on color combinations and is eager to hear drawing formulas.
That fire inside is directed towards the craft and it lights up the world around him. The guys in the shop say that when Henning is away on a trip, the shop gets really quiet, people don't come in as they normally do, he has a presence that pulls people in, like a campfire draws people around it for warmth and companionship.
With his slicked back hair and charming personality he's built a shop like a castle and he's welcomed people from the world over to work and visit, the entire crew is international. Not one person other than Henning and the three shop girls (Saphira, Ea and Sarah) is from Denmark. Beppe Shiro is from Italy, Lobiño is from Brazil, Theo Maurin is from France, Ron Koupal is from Arizona and Danny Chan's from Los Angeles (Danny's dad was in Goonies)… All of them through whatever paths led them this way had come out to work with Henning and just didn't want to leave or work anywhere else. Royal has been an institution that welcomes the international community to come and sit at the table, to enjoy the fellowship of family we never knew we had and some of us maybe don't deserve.
The shop is two levels, Henning and Beppe work upstairs, behind the front desk, they work side by side. Large window panes look out at the street and the trees swaying in the wind, people walk by bundled up to protect themselves from the bitter cold, a graveyard lies across the street, holding the bodies of Helsingør's past. A half block away is a tombstone shop, selling and carving headstones. There are four work stations downstairs, which is where I'm working.
The walls are clean and white, the floors sparkle. Memories of years past adorn the walls: a personalized drawing from Ed Hardy to Henning, paintings given as gifts on the occasion of anniversaries, paintings from Mike Rubendall, Joel Long, Eckel, Filip Leu, Paul Jeffries, Bert Krak, Marius Meyer, Rob Abel, Dana Helmuth etc…
After all of these years, the shop runs like a smooth machine. Nothing is left to chance, things work the way they should. All of the systems in place work seamlessly and make for an easy environment to work in. The other day I was painting some flash downstairs and I would walk upstairs every hour or so to take a breather and see what was going on.
Henning was working on three different people throughout that day, all the while He worked away focused upon the pigment smeared skin task under his hands. Which is what most of us do, but what makes it different, when watching him, is that he's been at it since most of us were whacking off to our moms lingerie catalogues. Yet he still works harder and with more intensity than the majority.
To sit in the shop and work is to be a microscopic molecule of a large organism, just a footnote in history. The stream of people who have come through these doors is mind-blowing – 28 years of sharing, of friendship and work. It's not like Denmark is the closest place to visit and Helsingor itself, isn't a huge draw for tourism (it's about a 40 minute ride on the train from Copenhagen) – besides Elsinore castle (where Shakespeare's Hamlet took place). There's only one reason for all of these people who have made the journey here and that's the man himself. Before I even dreamt of my first kiss or losing my virginity and blowing my wad or having an ex-wife this shop was rolling along. Henning was working, studying and making connections.
The town is small and quiet. The cobble stone streets and sidewalks lead me past leaves turning, red, yellow, orange, green and brown under the sheet of slate grey sky, past buildings that look like castles, past Danish families living peaceful lives. For being so close to the sea, the wind doesn't tear though the town, it whispers. It's bitter cold and getting colder everyday. The grocery store shuts down at 8, restaurants at 10. It's easy to settle down here, to slow down and focus on work.
I've been working hard, when I'm not tattooing, I'm painting or drawing. The modern distractions are still here, just as everywhere else. It's easy to lose yourself on the computer or to veg out in front of the television, that's just the blessing and the curse of the times we live in. But these streets hold something special if I look with the right eyes, something peaceful and melancholy which is only intensified by the grey skies and cold air.
This is a royal town, Shakespeare knew it and documented it, inscribed it on paper. Henning knows it and lives it. He's inscribed it in skin, along with his crew on the people who have come through these doors over the past 28 years.
Here's a list of people who have come out to work out Royal Tattoo over the years: Paul Jeffries, Trevor McStay, Mike Rubendall, Robert Atkinson, Jason Kundell, Eddie Deutsche, Scott Sylvia, Juan Puente, Valerie Vargas, Stewart Robson, Mo Coppeletta, Tim Lehi, Grime, Ami James, Marco Serio, Augustin Cavallieri, Kian Forreal, Chisaki, Salvio, Pierre Chapellan, Cory Norris, Mike Godfrey, Dax Lobo, Enma Kierzek, Jake Fraser, Seth Arcada, Dan Sinnes, Jean Luca, Inma, Frederico, Aaron Bell, Aaron Kewit, Kevin Leblanc, Marius Meyer, Danny Novaiis, Norbert, Andreas, Rex Schwinn, Andy Kennan, Adam Kills, Theo Jak, Mikki Fogge, Soap, Rose Hardy, Cliffe Clayton, Dan Anderson, Jonny Cole, Erica Sandy, Max Stalhammer, Don Yarin, Miss Nikki, Lucas Ford, Joe Wang and Joel Ang, Eric Reith, Rinto, Luke Atkinson, Eric Blaire… I'm honored and humbled to add my name to that list.
Here's some work I've done since I've been here and some photos of people and things:

Once upon a time, kindergarten was all about teaching social readiness, learning how to line up, sit quietly in a circle, and put things back. In recent decades, "readiness skills" in language, reading, writing, and math have been emphasized. Experts generally agree, however, that much of the "learning" that happens in kindergarten should be nonacademic. Make-believe and fantasy are a big part of the kindergartner's approach to the world. Enjoy it.
What to Expect
1. Lots of activity. Kindergartners are doers, not sitters. While children will learn, increasingly, how to sit still and listen, the emphasis in the classroom will be on hands-on reality and action, action, action, both indoors and out.
2. Imagination! Children in kindergarten are, in some ways, at the imaginative peak of their lives. Kindergarten should make the most of this special time. That is what the paints and dress-up clothes and blocks and Play-Doh are for.
3. Learning letters. The most common formal instruction in kindergarten is the teaching of the alphabet and its associated sounds. Teachers will teach this to an incredibly diverse crew: Some children will already know how to read, while others will struggle with the letters all year and may still not know them well.
4. Families and holidays. Social studies do not usually exist, per se, in kindergarten. But the rudiments begin as the teacher encourages a discussion of families. Holidays are useful, too. They're fun, they teach about customs and other people, and offer many arts-and-crafts-related tie-ins.
5. Ongoing social and physical maturity. As the year moves along, your kindergartner should demonstrate an increased understanding of rules and cooperation, a longer attention span, and better coordination.
6. Print curiosity. Another feature that may emerge toward the end of the year, if not before, is a marked curiosity about printed words your child sees -- on signs, boxes of food, stray household objects, even clothing labels.
Watch Out for:
- Toilet accidents. While not uncommon, some of these are avoidable if you help your child learn how to make his needs known to the teacher. Some are quite shy about this.
- Not getting along? A persistent inability to share or a lack of playmates may indicate a problem that deserves attention.
First GradeElementary school begins in first grade. But in spirit, children begin first grade as kindergartners. Much happens over the course of the year to transform little children into young boys and girls. First-graders do not seem as wild as kindergartners -- after all, they are more developed physically, neurologically, and psychologically. They are gaining more control over their bodies, both at the fine motor level (first-grade art often shows a big representational leap over kindergarten art) and at the large muscle level (first grade is when children often begin to show interest in specific sports). Your child has a better sense of self than she did a year ago, and less of a need to live in the here and now. And she is ready and willing to use her mind. This is what first grade is all about. It is a fun and fulfilling year.
What to Expect
1. A big emphasis on reading. Children range from reading fluently as preschoolers to still being unsure of their letters when they leave kindergarten.
2. Numbers, numbers, and more numbers. There is lots of math in first grade -- and it all seems like fun: sorting and classifying, reading and writing numerals, seeking patterns, working with tallying and statistics, exploring shapes and measurement.
3. A little bit of homework. These days, most first-grade teachers tend to give a few minutes of homework once or twice a week to reinforce some classroom lessons.
4. Writing, but not spelling. First-graders are given many chances to write. But what is on a child's mind at this age can outstrip his physical ability to hold the pencil and form the letters. Acceptance of "inventive" spelling is another part of helping children embrace the writing process.
5. Increased emotional and physical independence. Children quickly learn to walk into the classroom themselves, then progress into other areas of self-management, such as hanging up coats (as the weather cools), returning library books, and handing in homework.
6. Concentration. Kindergartners learn to listen in a circle; first-graders sit at their desks and listen to what is going on without getting distracted or requiring attention. This ability to concentrate develops over the course of the year, and sets the stage for second-grade academics.
Watch Out for:
- Slow readers. Do your best not to pressure your child into reading if he does not seem eager, and try not to force him to show you what he has been learning. How quickly a child learns to read has nothing to do with overall brightness or long-term reading ability.
- Too much television. Research has shown that limiting television to 10 hours or less a week may assist a child in his reading; more TV-watching has been shown to slow reading achievement.
- Pent-up feelings. First-graders are still emotional beings, likely to cry, yell, hit, or even throw tantrums when upset. This is a good age to begin urging your child to talk about feelings, and to guide her in beginning to find her own solutions to problems.
Second GradeIn second grade, a child becomes a student. By now, children should have a strong grip on all the rudimentary skills of learning, from reading and writing to arithmetic. With evident pride in what they know, second-graders are among the most eager learners to be found. They tend to be attached to the literal and concrete, and begin to pay attention to the world around them and expect to have some input and control. But they are still marvelously open to new experiences, and they have an appetite for stories, poetry, music, and other arts-oriented activities.
What to Expect
1. Reading. The emphasis this year moves from reading as "decoding" (being able to convert letters into sounds; combining the sounds into words) to reading for understanding. (Second-graders, however, still love being read to, so teachers should provide regular story time.)
2. Real homework. Though not generally time-consuming, second-grade homework usually becomes regular, perhaps 15 to 20 minutes a night. It is a good grade to begin a homework routine: Decide on the time and place homework gets done and see that your child stays with it as much as her schedule permits.
3. Uh-oh: Spelling! In most schools, second grade marks the beginning of the spelling curriculum. There may be textbooks, photocopied lists, tests, or some combination of these, all in the interest of introducing children to the idea that spelling does matter after all.
4. Math as a subject. If not before, this is the year that math becomes a formal subject of instruction (best taught in the morning when children are more alert). Math moves beyond counting into more complex addition and subtraction, simple fractions, measurement, and problem solving.
5. Journalizing. Second grade is a big journal year. Children write about everything that happens to them, and in the process create one of the most adorable and enduring documents of their school careers.
6. Outside experiences. While your child may already have a history of extracurricular activities, in second grade she may, suddenly, begin to express her own ideas about what she would like to be doing outside of school.
Watch Out for:
- Excessive self-criticism. A second-grader will notice how his friends and peers do things and compare his own abilities. He may need help putting self-criticism in perspective and not judging himself too harshly.
- Lack of concentration. Children who still have trouble sitting still and listening will begin to have trouble achieving at a high level.
- Slow readers, redux. As the year passes the halfway point, if your child is still struggling with reading, it may be time to confer with the teacher.
Third GradeSchool gets more serious in third grade. And so do the children. They begin to become aware of themselves in a wider context than children in a family. Third-graders can now draw on their own mental resources (memories, problem-solving skills, personal experience) when learning something new. In third grade, school becomes not just a place of learning, but also a place of socializing; children look forward to seeing their friends there day after day after day.
What to Expect
1. "Big kid" responsibilities. Children will be expected to pack and unpack their own backpacks, write down their own homework assignments, and hand in their work. Third-grade homework moves into the 20- to 30-minute range.
2. Textbooks. Many schools shift much of the curriculum into textbooks in third grade, often for spelling and social studies, although this varies a lot by school system.
3. Group work and projects. Third grade is project heaven, with hands-on science experiments, literary dioramas, and social studies construction projects providing varied and colorful activity -- and a lot of fun -- throughout the year.
4. Writing gets sophisticated. Children curb their self-expression and become more self-conscious in their writing, as they are taught more explicitly about crafting prose and poetry. And, adding style to substance, cursive is typically introduced during the third-grade year.
5. Fruitful multiplication. Multiplication "facts," as they are usually called these days, fly hot and heavy around the third-grade classroom. The goal is to have all single-digit multiplication down cold by the end of the year.
6. Instrumental music. If your school has a music program, your child may learn the recorder in third grade. If there is no music program in the school, this is a good age to pursue lessons on the outside.
Watch Out for:
- School blahs. This can be a make-or-break year regarding your child's attitude toward school. Try to foster a positive attitude about learning.
- Grade pressure. Grades are a guide to what your child has learned and what she still needs to learn, no more; not a reason to pressure your child.
- Gender rivalry. In third grade, boys and girls dissociate, flagrantly. Same-sex clusters rule the day. This is not anything to worry about -- just funny.
Fourth GradeIn fourth grade, for perhaps the first time, school can get tough. Gone is the gentle focus of younger-grade teachers on basic skills and social development. Now, there are hard subjects to grapple with, more schoolwork and homework to organize, and real tests to study for -- as the saying goes, in fourth grade, children stop learning to read and start reading to learn. What is more, fourth-graders must navigate an increasingly complex social environment, with new sensitivity to who the "smart" ones or "popular" ones are. Fourth-graders are not as ready to distance themselves from their parents as children another year or two down the road. For some it is the last innocent year.
What to Expect
1. Homework gets serious. If your child does not have a homework routine in place, he might find himself overwhelmed as fourth grade -- with its 40 minutes or more of homework -- gets under way. And now there are plenty of real tests to study for. Be sure your child's organizational skills are up to the task without being too bossy yourself.
2. Three-ring binders. The next sign of a maturing student, after the textbooks in third grade, are the three-ring binders (complete with dividers) of the fourth-grader.
3. State history. Expect to find out more than you yourself ever knew about the state you live in.
4. Shapes of things. While fourth-grade math is largely an extension of third-grade math (more multiplication, more division, more fractions), there is also more geometry, which often fascinates children this age.
5. Researching skills. One of the ways fourth-graders utilize their reading skills is by learning how to apply reading to gather information and to understand other subjects -- especially history, geography, and science.
6. Physical differences. Fourth grade is marked by potentially large physical differences in children. While some still look young, others look nearly ready for middle school.
Watch Out for:
- Math hesitancy. If your fourth-grader considers math "hard," talk to the teacher. Fourth-grade math should not be beyond most children's abilities.
- Sensitive feelings. In cliques and rivalries brews much opportunity for hurt feelings. Friendships can also bring tension and conflict. On top of this, fourth-graders are more sensitive than younger children to what other people think of them.
- The end of reading at home. Just because your child is old enough to read on his own does not mean you should stop reading to him out loud. Most children still love this time with their parents.
Fifth GradeIn many schools, the fifth-graders are the oldest, and they love it. While they still tend to have a natural love of learning, they are also moving toward preadolescence. Some are more willing than ever before to test their limits, question authority, and be distracted by nonacademic activities. That said, many fifth-graders are still happy children, keen on acquiring knowledge and learning facts. This is a year, too, in which technical proficiency in special areas, such as music, may blossom. While fifth grade is a lot like fourth grade in the academic ground it covers, fifth-graders are expected to act with an ever-increasing amount of independence and responsibility.
What to Expect
1. Long-term research projects and reports. In fifth grade, reports get longer, require independent research, and delve into more complex materials. If there is a computer at home, you may suddenly see your child doing more than playing on it. The Web may become a useful resource.
2. Current events. Regardless of the appropriateness of the news for children, fifth-graders are captivated by the world around them, and will often have assignments oriented toward reading the newspaper.
3. Public speaking. Dynamic fifth-grade classes encourage a lot of public speaking opportunities -- from writing and delivering actual speeches, to a variety of chances for oral presentations. Attend to how your child handles this.
4. Math gets hard. Maybe not for your child, but for you. Parents often find that fifth-grade math takes them beyond what they comfortably remember. As in fourth grade, it's crucial for you to stay in touch with your child's mathematical progress, or lack of progress.
5. Sex in the classroom? The time has come, in fifth grade in most schools, for presentations on health and sexuality. Bodies will be changing soon -- it's natural, and so, too, should be learning about it.
6. Fifth-grade events. Especially as the spring arrives, fifth grade may end up seeming to be, most of all, about itself: A celebration of the upcoming graduation and the end of the elementary-school career, through a series of special events, often including a major field trip.
Watch Out for:
- "Forgotten" homework. Fifth grade is a big year for nightly calls about homework. If your child is making, rather than receiving, these calls, explore the reasons -- there could be organizational problems.
- Overscheduling. Inherently busy and social, your fifth-grader may end up with little time to do her homework and get a good night's sleep.
- Peer pressure. Fifth-graders can become very sensitive to having the "right" clothes, hairstyles, and musical tastes. Be aware of this, but be sure, too, not to approach conversations with your child judgmentally. Keeping the lines of communication open will be one of your greatest challenges.
Sixth GradeIn the old days -- -say, when you were in grade school -- -sixth grade was part of elementary school. Nowadays, that's less common. Sixth is often the first grade in middle school; there are even some schools that are entirely sixth grade. But wherever sixth grade happens, the children are the same age, going through that same preteen confusion-laced excitement. Sixth-graders have been trained to think for themselves and they're more than prepared to do that now, with much vigor. They like to complain a lot, too, so brace yourself. And if you haven't yet done this too well, take a crash course in learning how to let go: Sixth-graders demand a lot of independence, even as they are not always emotionally ready for it.
What to Expect
1. Transition-related challenges. For many, sixth grade is the first year of middle school, and with it comes a new type of school day: multiple teachers, changing classes, larger building, decreased parental input, and new grading procedures and testing logistics.
2. Fifth grade, redux. When all is said and done, sixth grade is not all that much different from fifth when it comes to content, with perhaps an added focus on "thematic units" of study. Teachers use the year to identify weaknesses and shore up skills students will need as they proceed into the upper grades of middle school.
3. Longer-term reading assignments. Time budgeting skills begun in fifth grade become important when pacing out week-long, or even month-long, assignments.
4. "Grown-up" work. Sixth-graders like the trappings of adult-style work, including detailed research, constructing bibliographies, and complex mathematical reasoning. They will get all of this and more, in all their classes.
5. Math struggles to stay relevant. Sixth-graders are very capable of dealing with elaborate computations, understanding patterns and probability, and solving logic problems -- but they still have trouble (as many of us do!) fully understanding math as a stand-alone subject. Math works best integrated with science, social studies, and language arts. Not all schools manage to do this.
6. Ancient worlds. They're still studying ancient civilizations in sixth grade, much as you might remember. But in addition to the usual suspects, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, schools today often head, multiculturally, toward India and China as well.
7. Computerization. While not all elementary schools are equally wired, and the benefits of the computer continue to be debated at the grade-school level, there is no doubt that computers become a key part of the middle-school environment.
Watch Out for:
- Homework nightmares. Some schools are better than others at instituting a global sense of homework. Many students face an onslaught of unprecedented proportions thanks to having multiple teachers. Word has it that the homework situation smooths out by seventh grade.
- Communication breakdown. Because of what sixth-graders are going through emotionally, they may become far less interested in discussing things with their parents. Don't stop trying, however. Children still want and need parental guidance. Use new approaches. Just when your child may begin to act as if he deserves less respect is exactly when you need to treat him with more.
- Social flux and uncertainty. Peer pressure kicks in big time, along with cliques and other difficult new social realities, including dating.
- Symptoms of stress. When sixth grade is the first year of middle school, some children are at risk for serious stress. Keep an eye on your child and make sure her needs (good nutrition, a decent night's sleep, physical exercise) are being met.
- Homework nightmares. Some schools are better than others at instituting a global sense of homework. Many students face an onslaught of unprecedented proportions thanks to having multiple teachers. Word has it that the homework situation smooths out by seventh grade.
- "Forgotten" homework. Fifth grade is a big year for nightly calls about homework. If your child is making, rather than receiving, these calls, explore the reasons -- there could be organizational problems.

- Slow readers. Do your best not to pressure your child into reading if he does not seem eager, and try not to force him to show you what he has been learning. How quickly a child learns to read has nothing to do with overall brightness or long-term reading ability.
