Backpacker's Ultimate Fix-It Guide
Protect the inside insulation (Online Bonus)
In addition to adding up to 10°F of warmth and about four ounces, a silk or polypro sleeping bag liner will help preserve the loft of a down bag according to Mountain Hardwear Product Manager Chris Hilliard. The liner absorbs moisture and body oils, protecting the feathers and inner lining. The result is a bag that's drier for stuffing in the morning–and one that needs less washing.
Prolong a bag's life
Preserve the bag's insulation by stuffing it as evenly as possible. First, pull the zipper down to six inches from the bottom to allow the bag to vent. Then grab the bottom of the bag, and push it into the stuff sack, rotating the sack as you cram the rest of the bag in. Leverage your strength by sitting cross-legged and holding the sack against your thigh (this is also a good way to warm up on a cold morning).
Suspend a sleeping bag
Hang sacks loosely in a dry location. Use a ceiling hook in your gear closet, or string a wire cable to hang multiple bags from separate carabiners. Make sure the bag doesn't touch the floor. If you lack space to hang your bag, store it in a large, breathable cotton or mesh storage sack. Never leave a down or synthetic bag in its stuff sack for extended periods.
Store pads flat (Online Bonus)
Doug Jacot, product manager for Therm-a-Rest advises putting away inflatable pads unrolled with the valve open–under a bed is perfect. This prevents mildew from any residual moisture and keeps the foam resilient. Air mattresses insulated with down or other batting (like Exped models) should also be stored unrolled so that the insulation is not compressed. Use a toothbrush to clean grit from the valve.
Stop the melt
Never leave sleeping bags or pads in your car on a hot summer day, when temperatures can exceed 160°F. That's hot enough flatten a closed-cell foam pad. Self-inflating pads are slightly more heat-tolerant, but extreme temps can delaminate glue around the seams and valve.
Clean your pad (Online Bonus)
If you sleep directly on your self-inflating pad on a hot summer night, Jacot says you should clean it when you get home. Body oils and sweat penetrate the pad over time and destroy the exterior polyurethane coating. They can also cause the outer fabric to delaminate from the foam. Give your pad an occasional scrub in the tub using mild soap and a vegetable brush.
Wash synthetics sparingly (Online Bonus)
Putting a down bag in a side-load washing machine can restore its loft, but synthetic fills can lose insulating ability after repeated launderings. The agitation can create small–particular in continuous filament insulations such as Polarguard 3D and Climashield–that cannot be repaired.
Shell with holes (Online Bonus)
Ripstop patches or repair tape work for small tears according to Rainy Pass' Julie Parker. Pinprick holes can also be plugged with a dab of Seam Grip–just make sure the bag dries for at least eight hours before you cram it in the stuffsack.
Stop feather flight
If you see a quill poking through the sleeping bag shell, Mountain Hardwear's Chris Hilliard says to push it back inside. Pulling it out will create a bigger hole in the delicate material.
Hole in a sleeping pad
If your self-inflating pad goes flat, fix it with the repair kit provided by the manufacturer (always carry in the bottom of the pad stuff sack). The patch material and glue are designed to match the fabric in the pad. Effective substitutes include bicycle tire patch kits or Seam Grip, which can also seal a leaky valve joint.
Make your own sleeping bag liner with pillow pocket (Online Bonus)
There are many excellent mummy bag liners on the market made from silk, wicking Coolmax or cotton that cost anywhere from $20 to $80. While the fabric may seem fancy, the design of a liner is simple–basically a sheet folded in half and stitched together. If you have the time and desire to save money, follow these steps to make your own liner:
Wash and dry a sleeping bag
A simple wash can de-skunk a well-used bag and revitalize down insulation. Follow these steps to clean down or synthetic bags.
Fact or Myth
Q: Tennis balls help a down bag dry more efficiently.
A: Fact! Throwing several tennis balls into the dryer helps separate the clumps of down that accumulate during washing. This speeds drying and distributes feathers throughout the bag.

DO NOT listen to the recommendation from John regarding putting the footprint INSIDE the tent. His reasoning, that a regular footprint will create a bathtub, makes no sense, and if you put the FP inside, then puncture a hole in the actual tent, water will still seep inside causing the very problem he discusses (bathtub). If you are going to take one, listen to everyone else and use it as intended, outside and beneath the tent. I'm like most others, depending on the situation I may or may not take one.
For a long trip where weight is an issue I leave it, but for shorter hikes I prefer to have it. When there are two or more in our party we split up the gear (like fire starters, water purification and food stores) and one takes the footprint while the other packs the tent, that way if there's a separation the second person can make a quick shelter if need be. It's also great on protracted afternoon showers to create a quick retreat where we can fix lunch and enjoy the surroundings.
the idea of using a tent footprint under your tent is asking to make your tent into bath tub. water driving by a little wind or where part of the footprint is exposed causes water to fill the space between the the footprint and the bottom of the tent. no tent bottom is of totally water proof for long.(micro holes caused by sand) A better and cheaper idea is to cut a piece of plastic to fit the inside of the tent. This layer can be replaced as needed. so you will a thicker replaceable water proof layer between you and the ground
You do not need the grommets in your plastic sheet footprint to help protect the bottom fabric from wearing out sooner, just cut it so it matches the bottom. If you want to use the above idea keep in mind that most footprints use nylon straps so the only the strap goes to the pole. This helps keep it from collecting water. If you want to use the above idea with plastic sheet you should consider trimming only a thin width of plastic out to the pole and reinforcing this area with either clear packing tape or duct tape before installing the grommet.
I am disappointed at the print option for these wonderful tips. There's way too much white space and pointless icons (I get that you have to sell ads to stay in business) so the print-outs are about twice as long as needed--wasting the trees I want to see when I hike. Your online print options need to be reconsidered and streamlined.
Thanks for all the great tips on how to care for outdoor adventure products. Getting all of the gear can be a huge investment and it is a shame that people do not care for it well enough and end up buying new equipment every year. I would rather invest in lasting equipment than spend more, in the end, repurchasing cheaper products.
As an added step to the hydration bladder hanging tip, instead of wrapping the rough edges with duct tape, use a open flame to melt the rough edges to create a smooth tip.
I've found that washing my sack, sleeping bags, mats etc by hand with no or light detergent like organic soaps with out caustic chemicals then I hang dry my items until bone dry then put away. Sometimes with dryer sheets or ceder blocks sandwiched in. But this is not required for neutral smelling gear.
@ Joe Jul 20, 2010 MiraZym helps really well against mold/mildew on sleeping bags/tents/pads
Anyone know how to get rid of mold/mildew on sleeping bags/tents/pads?? I had some mold start growing in my basement, and of course it was where my equipment was. Any ideas on cleaning my equipment without destroying my equipment? Thanks!
When cleaning a hydration system, pull out the hose from the balader, with a pair of pailers, so you can clean the whole hose,
Contemporary fabric softeners tend to be based on quaternary ammonium salts with one or two long alkyl chains, a typical compound being dipalmitoylethyl hydroxyethylmonium methosulfate.[2] Other cationic compounds can be derived from imidazolium, substituted amine salts, or quaternary alkoxy ammonium salts. One of the most common compounds of the early formulations was dihydrogenated tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride (DHTDMAC). I looked it up. see Wikipedia cut n paste. no animal fat here.
Under "Pole problems (Online Bonus" it should read "splint the broken pole," not "split the broken pole."
no, eric's right - the first posting says mentions washing in a top-loading washer. the second posting specifically says to never do this. (the second is the right one; never wash a sleeping bag in a top-loading washer)
A point about dryer sheets, the main ingredient in them is rendered animal fat (look it up people) so you may smell pretty good to a bear. In areas with uber predators, keep smell to a minimum, in camp and on your person.
Uhm, not really Eric. It just says to wash them.. sparingly. And then it tells you how. :B
And no, Anon, I don't think dryer sheets would attract bears. They smell more chemically than delicious or even edible.
Anyway, this article is great! Wow, so many tips. I suppose it's okay to store bags and pads rolled/stuffed if they're clean and dry and in a dry indoor closet, right? Plus my Thermorest doesn't have foam.

Chester, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Union signed midfielder Cristian Maidana from Argentinos Juniors and he will occupy an International and Designated Player roster spot.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed and the Argentina native will join the team pending the receipt of his U.S. P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate.
The 26-year-old scored three goals in 25 appearances with Mexican side Atlante from 2012-13, while he also enjoyed spells with Spartak Moscow in Russia, Spanish outfit Recreativo and Rangers de Talca in Chile.
"I was able to see Cristian play several times and I came away extremely impressed with his technical skills, creativity and one vs. one ability," said team manager John Hackworth. "After having met him personally, I felt even more confident that he was the type of person and player who can benefit our club on and off the field. We are excited that Cristian is a member of the Union."

NORMAN — It's the closest thing to a bye week in basketball, and it came at the perfect time for the Oklahoma State men's squad.
Coming off a gritty game against Big 12 Conference leading Kansas, the Cowboys got a week to relax their bodies and minds before having to hit the hardwood again — which will come 1 p.m. today against West Virginia.
"At this time of year, a bye week is nice to kind of get away a little bit," OSU sophomore Phil Forte said. "We've been going at it, practicing and everything, since September, really going hard. So to get a couple days off is nice — more mentally than physically."
With Oklahoma State in the middle of the conference grind, Cowboy coach Travis Ford said he elected to tone practices down this past week in preparation for the final push to the postseason.
"We didn't push it too much throughout the week because we know we have some big stretches coming up soon," Ford said. "So, more than anything, we just tried to get our guys' legs under them a little bit."
Perhaps the biggest beneficiary of this light week has been Kamari Murphy.
The sophomore forward from Brooklyn, N.Y., has seen an increase in minutes since the season-ending achilles injury to Michael Cobbins right before the start of conference play, and this past weekend had the duties of slowing down Kansas center Joel Embiid — who is getting talked about as the potential No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.
"I had a couple tweaks with my shoulder and my knee was bothering me a little bit, but I think this week off was really needed," Murphy said.
To make the week a little easier is the opponent for OSU.
The Cowboys face the Mountaineers for the second time in less than a month. The first time the two squared off, it took a last-second 3-pointer from Markel Brown to escape Morgantown, W. Va., with a victory.
Before the game, OSU will honor the 10 men who lost their lives in the Jan. 27, 2001 with a moment of silent prior to the tipoff on ESPN2.

Chapel at Messiah College is a central expression of our identity as a community of Christians with a deep commitment to spiritual growth and academic excellence. Chapel is a required opportunity for exposure to forms of worship, various speakers and ideas which are put together with the intention of affirming our common commitments while they both reflect and challenge individual preferences in style. Though we hope that students will be challenged in their faith through chapel, we realize that spiritual nurture is ultimately a function of each person's will, preference and responsibility and cannot be subject to requirements. Chapel is required as a common experience. Spiritual nurture is each student's own responsibility.
Messiah offers a variety of different chapel experiences. Common Chapels, for the entire student body, are held in Brubaker Auditorium on Tuesday and a few Thursday mornings. Elective Chapels, which offer students a choice between liturgical worship, Bible teaching, praise and worship, mission awareness, and more, are held on the remaining Thursday mornings at the regular chapel hour. Alternate Chapels are services held at other times and planned by various student organizations and special interest groups.
Common/Elective Chapel Schedule
Each student is required to attend 24 chapels per semester. Twelve of the chapels attended must be Common Chapels held in Brubaker Auditorium; the remainder may be Elective or Alternate chapels. Students record their chapel attendance electronically with student I.D. cards. Students who attempt to falsify chapel attendance credit will be referred to the office of Community Development for disciplinary action.
If you are:
Then click the link to learn more about the
sponsored by the Agape Center and College Ministries.
The responsibility for verifying chapel attendance records rests with the student. Students' chapel attendance records are posted on the students' Self Serve Banner Link in MCSquare. College Ministries will activate an online chapel correction form once at the end of the semester. Please use this form to submit ALL chapel attendance corrections. Corrections are not to exceed 3 plus all 3 corrections must be made in one submission. Chapel Notice details.
Full Semester: Only those students who have a direct conflict with an internship, practicum, or work schedule may request exemption from chapel for the entire semester. A new chapel attendance petition must be filed in the College Ministries office for each semester the student is eligible for an exemption.
J-Term: Students who spend January Term away from Grantham may file an exemption form for that month when they return to campus.
Commuter Students: Commuters who have a class immediately before or immediately after chapel are expected to attend chapel; other commuters may file a request for an exemption.
Medical Exemptions: Students who need to be excused from chapel because of sickness or other medical reasons may request an exemption. All medical exemptions must be accompanied by a note from a physician, counselor or the Engle Center for Health and Counseling Services.
Family Emergency: Students who have to be away from campus for a family emergency may file a request for an exemption.
Chapel Attendance Petitions must be submitted using the online form in MCSquare. You may access the form through the Campus Life tab in MCSquare.
Any student who fails to attain their chapel requirement in a given semester will be placed on chapel probation and notification will be made to the student's academic advisor, the Registrar and the Dean of Students.
Students with a current chapel probation coding are barred from registration. To clear their chapel attendance status a student is required to:
Appeals regarding a student's chapel probation status should be made in writing and may be submitted to the College Ministries office within 10 business days of the Chapel Probation e-mail. Decisions of the College Ministries office may be appealed to the Vice Provost and Dean of Students.
Please Note: Since student leaders are expected to be exemplary in all areas, an active chapel probation status is likely to negatively impact one's eligibility for service in a student leadership position. For details, please refer to the SGA Constitution, the Residence Education Staff Manual or an Athletic Coach.

The Knights of Columbus will donate $100,000 to St. Rose of Lima Catholic Parish in Newtown, Conn., to support ongoing parish programs related to last December's elementary school shooting.
Supreme Knight Carl Anderson will make the gift following a 6:30 p.m. Mass at St. Rose on Monday, Sept. 30. Bridgeport Bishop Frank Caggiano will serve as principal celebrant and homilist. The supreme knight and Msgr. Robert Weiss, pastor of St. Rose, will also offer remarks at a brief ceremony following Mass.
The Newtown elementary school shooting gripped the nation and the world as the small community mourned the loss of area residents, including 20 children, following the tragic Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"In the 24-hour news cycle, we often read or see the news, are affected for a time, and then quickly move on," said Anderson. "But the people of Newtown could not simply 'move on,' and our gift and award are meant to acknowledge that the work of Msgr. Weiss and the St. Rose of Lima community continues."
He said Msgr. Weiss, in particular, continues to assist the families that lost loved ones and helps with many practical matters, including community projects and donations.
The funding donation follows the presentation at the Knights' annual international convention of the organization's new Caritas Awards "for exemplary works of charity," one of which was awarded to Msgr. Weiss.
Conferring the award at the convention last month in San Antonio, Anderson paraphrased Pope Francis, explaining that "Monsignor was able 'to sympathize with the brokenness of others without losing his own strength and identity,' which was no easy task under these circumstances."
At the convention, Anderson explained that the award goes to the heart of the Knights' mission: "To come to the aid of neighbors and friends in their hour of need."
Now, more than nine months since the shootings, he said, the time of need continues.
Also receiving a Caritas Award at the Knights' convention was Newtown's Knights of Columbus St. Virgilius Council 185, which was represented by Grand Knight Timothy Haas. The Newtown Knights quickly got involved in assisting the parish and community in the days following the school tragedy.
Their first priority was spiritual as the council established a program that asked people to pray a minimum of three Hail Marys on behalf of the victims and their families, the first responders and teachers, and the Newtown community. With the help of the Knights' websites, the efforts spread and more than 105,000 people signed up, offering a total of more than 3.25 million prayers.
The Knights also served as ushers at eight funerals for children and helped in the parish when it was overwhelmed with messages of condolence and other logistical challenges.
The new award was established earlier this year by a vote of the Knights of Columbus Board of Directors and will be conferred on future recipients when merited. The Caritas Award becomes the second international award given by the organization. Previously, the Knights of Columbus has, on occasion, given its Gaudium et Spes Award, conferred in recent years on Mother Teresa of Calcutta; Cardinal John O'Connor of New York; and Jean Vanier, the internationally renowned founder of L'Arche, a network of faith-based communities that care for people with developmental disabilities.
NOTE TO JOURNALISTS: Bishop Caggiano, Carl Anderson and Msgr. Weiss will be available to the media on Monday, Sept. 30, at 5:30 p.m. — an hour prior to the start of the Mass — in the library of St. Rose of Lima School, which is next door to the parish church, 46 Church Hill Road, Newtown, CT, 06470.

July 29, 2014
Florida State University and Manatee County's Southeast High School were in overtime, debating whether or not the high school should have to give up the logos, Chief Osceola and the spear, they've been using for the past three decades.
After the Collegiate Licensing Company issued a ceases and desist order back in August- The two teams worked toward a royalty-free agreement and a promise to not disrespect the logo.
Margi Nanny, Spokesperson from Manatee County Public Schools says, "We feel very positive about it. We feel like it's a win-win situation. We got what we wanted and FSU got what they wanted to get and basically we're very pleased."
The royalty-free agreement will automatically renew every five years- unless the Seminoles logo is abused in anyway such as used to promote alcohol or tobacco or other tarnishing factors.

The NHL season has not begun yet, but Alain Vigneault's plans are already in danger of being tested, tweaked and, possibly, scrapped.
Heading into the lockout-shortened campaign, which begins for his team Saturday night against the visiting Anaheim Ducks, the Vancouver Canucks coach wants to keep his players fresh by monitoring their ice time closely.
But the absences of injured center Ryan Kesler (shoulder, wrist) and winger David Booth (groin) have created two holes on the club's second line that could dictate otherwise.

Niagara Gazette — This week's "Fat Tuesday" was filled with opportunities to listen and reflect upon life in our city, our nation and ourselves. The President of the United States of America and the Mayor of the City of Lockport gave the respective State of the Union Address, and the State of the City Address, on the same day.
As a member of the Rotary Club of Lockport, I had the privilege of hearing the mayor's address in person. As the owner of a DVR, I was able to watch a recording of the president's address at a later time. I was impressed by the content of both presentations, and encouraged by the possibilities they presented.
In his opening remarks, Mayor Mike Tucker stated that "Our city is strong, and its future is bright". As I listened to the plans for 2013 coupled with the accomplishments of the past, I found myself filled with hope. For more than two decades, my family and I have resided in Lockport. Despite its imperfections, I feel like I have been watching the gradual 'rebirth' of a city.
Main Street has received a 'face-lift' over the years, and friends and family of mine, from out of town, have commented on its quaint historic beauty. It has been a delight to discover and explore the many new businesses downtown. I have never been at a loss to take visitors to the many historic attractions that Lockport has to offer: the Locks of the Erie Canal, the Canal Discovery Center, the Market Street Art Gallery, and the Kenan Center for Art & Recreation, to name a few.
For a number of years, I interviewed Mayor Tucker each month on one of LCTV's government talk shows. We discussed a lot of the projects that he shared in his speech, at their earliest stages of development. It is exciting to hear how many of them will be nearing fruition in 2013.

Arizona State loses running backs coach Larry Porter to Texas
Running backs coach Larry Porter has left for the same position on Mack Brown's staff with the Texas Longhorns.
"I'm just really excited to be joining what I think is the best program in the country," Porter said in a press release."Having the opportunity to work under a man like Coach Brown, who I look at as a legend in college football, is an honor and a privilege. He has done so much for college football and is so well respected. I'm thrilled to be joining his staff and to be a part of a program that I've had such great admiration for.
"The future of Texas football is very bright and being able to work with Coach Brown and so many guys I've known and worked with before is an opportunity I couldn't pass up. My family and I are really excited and looking forward to getting started."
Under Porter's guidance the Sun Devils had one of the Pac-12's better rushing attacks, as four players tallied more than 400 yards on the ground.
"We are very excited to have Larry Porter joining our staff," said Brown in the same press release. "He brings a wealth of experience and has a reputation as one of the best coaches and recruiters in our game. Larry has spent a great deal of time in the Big 12 and SEC and has a strong familiarity with our state and staff. During his time at Oklahoma State and LSU, he did a tremendous job recruiting Dallas and Houston. He also has worked with two of our current coaches in Bo Davis and Stacy Searels in previous positions and has been friends with Darrell Wyatt for a number of years, so that should make for a smooth transition. We're really looking forward to having him in our program."

Tired of 'tradition'
I always read John Rosemond's column with interest and usually in agreement. I got almost through his June 25 piece, nodding my head as usual, when I collided with his assertion that the disintegration of traditional parenting threatens the survival of the culture.
Our federal and my state government are being run by middle-aged and older white men who, by and large, were reared by those "traditional" standards, where the parents were authority figures who did not negotiate. Is this why our politicians are "traditionally" authoritarian and noncompromising in their methods? I think it is their actions that threaten the survival of our culture, that of personal freedom and mutual respect and helpful creativity, which we have worked so hard to establish and nourish .
I have just entered my eighth decade. All five decades I've been an adult, I've been amazed at how hard a lot of these middle aged and older white men have worked to keep this country from moving forward – and gotten away with it. Right now they are in the ascendancy and are bent on moving the U.S. and N.C. backward. I'm hanging on, hoping to live to enjoy government without "traditional" politicians.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Dec. 1, 2009
City partners with other agencies to hold northland H1N1 vaccination clinic
The City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department's next public H1N1 vaccination clinic will be held in the northland on Thursday, Dec. 3 from 2-6:30 p.m. at the Northland Cathedral, 101 N.W. 99th St. This clinic is in partnership with the Clay County Health Department, the Platte County Health Department, the North Kansas City School District and the Park Hill School District.
"The partnership between the health departments and the school districts to provide a large-scale H1N1 flu clinic for high-risk groups demonstrates our willingness for regional cooperation to help and protect all of our residents," said City Councilwoman Deb Hermann, 1st District at large.
The H1N1 virus has hit hardest among children. The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reported 27 H1N1 associated pediatric deaths during the week of Nov.15-21. Since August 30, the CDC has received 140 reports of H1N1 associated pediatric deaths during the current influenza season.
"We encourage Kansas City parents in the northland and across the city to consider taking advantage of this opportunity to protect their children," said Councilman Russ Johnson, 2nd District.
Vaccinations are free of charge, and will be administered while supplies last on a first-come, first-served basis for the following expanded priority groups:
§ Pregnant women
§ Children and young adults from 6 months through 24 years old
§ Adults 25 to 64 years old with significant chronic health conditions
§ Household contacts and caregivers of children under six months
§ Health care workers with identification
Unfortunately, those 65 years old and older are not yet eligible for vaccine according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Unlike with regular seasonal influenza, those over 65 have been less likely to become infected with H1N1.
More than 77,500 doses of vaccine have already been distributed to medical providers in Kansas City, Mo., who have agreed to provide these doses to people in the priority groups. Another 2,130 people have been vaccinated in clinics at the Health Department.
For more information on vaccine availability, call (816) 513-6008.
Media inquiries about this topic should be directed to Jeff Hershberger, public information officer for the Health Department, (816) 840-2548 (pager).

"He's totally conflict avoidant, so it isn't like we ever fight about this stuff," my friend recently explained to me, referring to how she and her hubby address their differences. She seemed proud that the fighting in her household registers low on the Richter scale. Meaning: conflict is bad; glad we don't have it.
It's true--conflict can be very uncomfortable. Whenever what we want seems at odds with someone else's desires, we have conflict. In preschoolers and among siblings, conflict is most often about contested toys or space. My 7-year-old is super-obsessed with rules and regulations and fairness, so conflict for her comes when people aren't following the rules to her satisfaction. My best friend has read about a hundred books on teasing and bullying, because that is the type of conflict her sixth-grader has been dealing with since the third grade. And no matter our age, most of us have been known to argue about contested opinions and beliefs.
But because conflict fuels change, it is also what makes life interesting. Think about what a snoozer a movie would be without conflict! Conflict is entirely necessary for intellectual, emotional, and even moral growth. Good thing, because even if we'd do anything to avoid it, conflict will always exist. Conflict between children is like the air they breathe: research shows that playing kids experience about one conflict every three minutes.
Why Conflict Matters
If we want our children to lead happy and meaningful lives, they are going to need lots of positive relationships. And if we want them to be able to foster strong friendships, the best thing we can do is to teach them learn how to deal with conflict by doing more than avoiding it.
We may avoid conflict between adults, but most of us parents and teachers are constantly addressing it with kids. Kids don't know how to settle disputes constructively until we teach them. One exhaustive study showed that left to their own devices, 90 percent of conflicts between elementary school children go unresolved or end destructively.
Most kids shun conflict or try to crush their opposition; more than 60 percent rely on adults to resolve their conflicts. After reading a dozen or so studies about conflict resolution, I have found that my own cutie-pies regularly model three unhealthy ways to deal with conflict:
1. Force. As when Molly just rips a toy she wants out of Fiona's hand and runs.
2. Withdrawal and avoidance. When Fiona says, loudly, "I don't want to talk about this anymore," and then walks out of the room.
3. Giving in. As when Fiona is nagging Molly for something she doesn't want to give up. Molly, sweet child that she is, often decides that it isn't worth enduring Fiona's heckling and so--seizing the opportunity to gain approval from me--will very sweetly give her exactly what she wants. (Note to self: stop praising the kids when they give in to sibling heckling.)
Just Stop It
There are two main ways that we adults intervene when our kids start to fight. The first is what I'll call the "just stop it" method: We tell them what to do ("give that back and say you're sorry"), physically separate them, or take the object in dispute away. We are judges and umpires, generating solutions and commandments without much help from the bickering masses.
Necessary though all of this often is, the "just stop it" method does not teach constructive conflict resolution, nor does it teach kids to resolve their conflicts themselves. Effective conflict resolution requires empathy--the kids have to be able to take into account their friends' points of view, making for a natural opportunity for children to learn to consider other people's feelings.
The other way we can intervene is to act as a mediator, or coach, rather than dictator. Instead of stopping the conflict or imposing solutions, we can help kids see other people's perspectives, and we can encourage them to generate their own solutions.
In addition to helping our kids foster strong friendships (and therefore lead happier lives), research shows that learning positive conflict resolution brings loads of benefits to kids, boosting their academic performance and increasing their self-confidence and self-esteem. It has also been linked to increased achievement, higher-level reasoning, and creative problem solving.
Learning how to resolve conflict with siblings and peers helps kids cope with other kinds of stress, making them better adjusted and more resilient as teenagers--and more successful as adults.

Ottumwa and Oskaloosa are both finalists for designation as Blue Zone communities.
Fairfield was named as one of nine demonstration sites among small communities.
The Blue Zones Project is part of an initiative designed to improve the health of Iowa residents by promoting activity. Communities selected for Blue Zone designation will receive assistance from experts to make changes that help residents lead healthier lifestyles.
Fairfield's entry into the program marks the addition of small communities (under 10,000 residents). Four pilot sites with more than 10,000 residents were named Blue Zone communities in May.
Both Ottumwa and Oskaloosa sought to become Blue Zone communities in the first round, though they fell short. Ottumwa was a finalist. Tuesday's announcement marks the first time Oskaloosa has made the finals.
Six of the 12 finalists will be named Blue Zone communities in January 2013.

New Castle News
A local businessman helped New Castle police recover jewelry believed to have been taken in a burglary.
Christopher Caravella, 26, of 306 Nutt St., was arrested and charged with two counts of receiving stolen property and one count of theft by deception.
He was arraigned before District Judge Melissa Amodie and remains jailed on a $10,000 bond.
Police were notified after Caravella approached a businessman to pawn several thousand dollars worth of gold and silver jewelry — and accepted only $60 for the merchandise.
Police said they believe the jewelry was taken from a Mahoningtown house that had been broken into Tuesday.
At 2 p.m. Tuesday, police were contacted by a businessman who said Caravella had asked him to buy a large amount of gold and silver jewelry.
Officers said the victim identified all the jewelry as belonging to her, but said there was more was still missing.
The businessman told police he estimated the retail value of the jewelry at $4,000 and would have paid $900 if he had thought it was a legitimate transaction.

Better times ahead for Britain's economy says MP Neil Carmichael (From Stroud News and Journal)

Better times ahead for Britain's economy says MP Neil Carmichael
9:27am Monday 23rd December 2013 in News By Neil Carmichael, Member of Parliament for Stroud
BRITAIN'S economic plan is working, but there is still much to do to secure sustainable growth for the whole economy.
We must ensure we have a responsible recovery with benefits for everybody.
This also means we continue to rebalance the economy with an emphasis on production and exporting.
Growth forecasts have been upgraded with a 2.4 per cent projected for next year.
One immediate consequence of this good news is the continued falls in unemployment with the latest figures pushing the total number of unemployed in the Stroud Valleys and Vale to less than 1,000.
At the same time, our national deficit is falling year on year, giving even more reasons to be more confident about the economy's overall prospects.
This matters for several reasons, not least in protecting our interest rates for business and reducing overall interest rate payments.
This is a good start but more needs to be done.
Businesses of all sizes need to be encouraged so, for the small businesses, a business rate £1,000 allowance in 2014/15 will help to support cafés, pubs and shops.
Freezing fuel duty again helps businesses and families (so far, fuel is 20ppl cheaper than it would have been without these freezes).
Helping young people in employment and business is incredibly valuable both now in terms of social mobility and later as more skills are required.
To help employment, National Insurance has been scrapped for under 21s and more measures are now in place for find apprenticeships and training for school leavers.
Education is also receiving more resources.
Free school meals for all state-funded pupils up to Year 2 (and some disadvantaged students) will be introduced from September 2014.
More funding has been released to for capital spending in schools, particularly to create more school spaces.
To ensure massive deficits are not run up in the future, a new 'Charter for Budget Responsibility' will be introduced in December 2014.
This will include plans to run a surplus in prosperous economic times, reduce national debt, and introduce transparent and accountable fiscal mandate.
The reckless and disastrous spending up to 2010 must never be seen again.

The Durham Housing Authority has won a new $681,400 federal grant.
The agency plans to use the money to help former public housing residents buy their own homes as part of a redevelopment project in East Durham. The authority was awarded a $35 million Hope VI grant five years ago to demolish the Few Gardens public housing complex and replace it with 415 single-family homes and apartment units.

Underhills Crossing Owner Steven Palm can hardly believe that his restaurant has been in existence for almost two decades. And what would an anniversary be without a celebration? The Bronxville restaurant will be marking its milestone with a week of vintage menus, cocktails and prices that reflect the best of the past 18 years. The festivities begin next week, as the restarants marks its anniversary on Tuesday.
Palm started the restaurant back in 1995 with the help of his parents, family and friends. He says that he has never settled for anything less than making sure that his restaurant was the best in the village.
"I am very proud that Underhills Crossing does its best to be 100% at all times," said Palm. "It is a huge challenge and of course impossible to be perfect, but I believe that together with our outstanding culinary and floor staff we come pretty close. We have gone through many changes in decor, but have always kept the integrity of the original Underhills Crossing."
Palm says the economy is the major challenge for any business today, but more so in the restaurant environment, because there are so many choices and price points that a guest considers before dining out.
"Underhills does not try to compete with other restaurants in the area," said Palm. "We have always been unique and having a variety of eating establishments in the area brings people from all over to our town. We listen to our guests and hope that we give them the dining experience that they expect and deserve."
When Palm's family moved to Westchester, his first job was as a waiter at Alex and Henrys, which he says was known for its catering and elegant restaurant. He also worked at Rockwells in Tuckahoe. While working there, Palm says he got a completely different perspective on the restaurant business. These days, Palm, who currently lives in Bronxville, also owns Harrys of Hartsdale, an upscale steak house and oyster bar.
Question: Where does the restaurant Underhills Crossing get its name? If you know, write your answer in the comments section.

Attorneys for five condemned inmates want a judge to reverse a decision by the Council of State that kept North Carolina's execution protocol intact.
Executions remain on hold because of a series of legal challenges to the death penalty, including the inmates' challenge to how executions are carried out.
Last year, the state changed its lethal injection process to satisfy U.S. District Judge Malcolm Howard, who demanded that a doctor oversee an execution, and the state medical board, which said it would punish any doctor who takes an active role in an execution.
The Council of State took up the protocol issue after Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens decided a nearly 100-year-old law requires the council to approve changes to North Carolina's method of execution.
The appeal, filed Monday in Wake Superior Court, says Council of State members approved the new execution protocol without allowing the inmates' attorneys to be heard. That exclusion violates the inmates' constitutional right to due process, the appeal says.
The council has shirked its responsibility by failing to fully examine North Carolina's execution method, said Lucy Inman, one of the inmates' attorneys.
The council decided in February that a physician must monitor a condemned inmate's "essential body functions" and tell the warden of Central Prison if the inmate shows signs of suffering.
The prisoners filed a lawsuit then against the the council, contending it should have heard arguments from their attorneys before setting the revised protocol.
Stephens said their lawsuit should be heard in an administrative hearing.
Administrative law Judge Fred Morrison Jr. ruled that the council should have allowed the attorneys to participate in its decision and directed the council to reconsider. The judge allowed the attorneys to submit written information about the protocol to the council before its reconsideration.
But when the council met again in October, it refused to reconsider its approval and again excluded the inmates' attorneys from participating. The council did not mention whether it had reviewed the submitted information or even addressed the execution protocol.
The council, instead, focused entirely on Morrison, saying he did not have jurisdiction to direct the council to reconsider.
"The Council of State voted to approve a motion which ... had been prepared in advance of the meeting," the appeal says.
The Attorney General's Office, which represents the council, said it has not received the appeal and did not comment Monday.

Have you noticed the number of small appliances on the market today that cook just one type of food?
You can find cotton candy makers, chocolate fountains, cake pop/donut hole bakers, mini pie bakers and snow cone makers. That's just for the sweets. You also can have a hot dog roller, pretzel maker, corn dog maker, pigs in the blanket maker and more. Most of them cost around $20 except for the soda maker and a jam and jelly maker that cost around $100! An appliance that cooks just one food is a waste of money and of space in the kitchen. It will end up in the landfill in a year or two.
If you are thinking about giving kitchenware this holiday or helping someone set up a home, consider buying the best basic cooking tools you can afford because they will last a lifetime.
Knives —The three that are most used are a paring knife for peeling and trimming, a chef knife for chopping and a knife with a serrated edge for cutting bread and tomatoes.
Pans — A medium (3 quart) sauce pan with a lid for cooking sauces, vegetables, rice, etc.; a large skillet with a lid (12 inches or more) for stir frying, browning, sandwiches and a stock pot (10 quarts) for pasta and soups, are the most versatile and will get the most use.
Measuring cups and spoons — Correct measuring tools are especially important for baking, but are also used when cooking. Look for sets to measure dry ingredients that include four measuring cups: 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup measures. Add measuring spoon sets including 1/4, teaspoon, 1/3 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon. Complete this gift with a clear cup that has measuring marks on the side and a spout to pour liquids.
Cutting boards — Plastic boards are inexpensive, flexible, easy to store and dishwasher safe. It's best to use several boards at once so vegetables and raw meat are not mixed on the same board. Some people designate one board for meat and poultry, another for vegetables and fruits and another for breads.
Peeler — Use this tool for potatoes, carrots, apples, kiwi, and mangos because less food is trimmed away than when using a knife.
Wooden spoons — These are great for stirring without scratching your pans, and they don't conduct heat so you can leave them in the pot if you like.
Rubber spatulas — Two sizes will handle most scraping jobs. The large one can be used to stir and fold batter and to scrape the inside of bowls. The small is good for scraping small cans like tomato paste or peanut butter.
Whisks — These are great for making sauces and beating eggs or thin batters. Even though a cook can get by with a fork, the whisk works better and is easier to grasp.
Colander/strainer — This is a handy tool for draining pasta, vegetables, berries and more. A metal one can even be used for steaming.
Instant read thermometer — Very important for knowing when meat and poultry are done and for reheating food. Use of a thermometer is an essential food safety practice.
Mixing bowls — A basic set is one large and one small.
Can opener — Give a basic turn-the-crank model that can be cleaned when dirty and stored in a drawer.
If you are gifting someone who loves to bake, you might consider:
• 9 x 13 pan (used for cakes, bars, casseroles)
• Baking sheet (used for cookies and rolls)
• Loaf pan, pie pan, or muffin pan
• Cooling rack
Other nice and useful gifts are garlic presses, weight scales and graters. (Source: Peggy Martin, Spend Smart. Eat Smart. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.)

The Avalanche beat the Predators, 6-5, and the difference turned out to be just about the most offsides goal you'll ever see scored by Colorado's Matt Duchene. Check it out here. Yeeeesh. (By the way, the analyst describing the play is former Sabres center Peter McNab.)
