A war is raging in the tablet industry. With Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Nexus 7 selling out at the Google Play store and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) to release its Surface tablets, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is now facing pressure in an industry it has dominated for years. But, out of the three tablets which one will come out on top?
Let's take a look at the side by side comparisons.

1. Hardware
To compare the hardware specs of each of these four tablets wouldn't necessarily be fair as the Google Nexus 7 is priced substantially lower than the iPad and the Surface tablets (rumored to be around the same price point as the iPad). It is worth mentioning, however, that the most significant difference between Google Nexus 7 and the other tablets is its 7″ screen which captures its own niche. Between the latter three tablets, the iPad beats the Surface tablets in screen resolution and connectivity, as the Surface tablets do not have 4G LTE connectivity. Otherwise, it is a toss-up between Apple's A5X and NVIDIA's (NASDAQ:NVDA) Tegra-based ARM chip depending on the benchmark, and the Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Core i5 handily beats both processors. Arguably, the biggest hardware breakthrough of Microsoft's release is the included touch cover keyboard built into its case, helping to bridge the user ability gap between the tablet and laptop.
2. Software
The software of the Google Nexus 7 which runs Android 4.1 is most similar to the iPad which runs iOS 5 because they both more or less run smartphone OSes. The better of the two comes down to the Android vs. iOs debate which I won't get into. The Windows 8/RT operating system is markedly different from iOS 5 and Android as it is more geared to enterprise/work applications with its Microsoft Office support and built-in keyboard. On the other hand, Windows 8/RT lacks the vast and developed app market that Apple and Google boasts making it less appealing to the casual tablet user.
Microsoft and Google are latecomers in a brutal industry that has already taken casualties (Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HPQ), Research In Motion Limited(NASDAQ:RIMM). But, perhaps, they have learned a thing or two from the mistakes of those that came before it. Instead of taking Apple head on, each has decided to target its own specific niche within the tablet industry.
With its Windows 8/RT operating systems, Office Suite and built-in keyboard, the Microsoft Surface has bridged the gap between laptop and tablet, appealing to users who seek the full functionality of a laptop rather than a smartphone in a tablet. Google, on the other hand, targeted the market for 7″ tablets and enticed consumers with a significantly lower price point than the iPad. What does this mean for investors? Microsoft and Google should be able to take away market share in the tablet industry from Apple.
Disclosure: Active investor; both long and short on AAPL; long on MSFT.

1 Little Detail that Makes a Big Difference Between J.C. Penney and Apple Stores
"… the Microsoft Surface has bridged the gap between laptop and tablet, appealing to users who seek the full functionality of a laptop rather than a smartphone in a tablet."
Even if you should be right in the future (doubtful), writing about a non-available product as having achieved something already… is shameful. For now, the Surface is vapourware, the press could see, but not use it, there is no price, there are no apps (for the RT version), the Office version on the RT will be feature-crippled and not fully touch optimised… but it is a winner already? How? The i5 CPU is a benefit in a tablet? Because we like our tablets expensive, hot and with little battery life?
As with the Zune player back then, it is only pundits and MS shills that hail the device. All consumer media has already stopped even talking about it, and the iPad adoption in the enterprise is accelerating, not decelerating.
Are you a fanboy or are you just really high? "… the Microsoft Surface has bridged the gap between laptop and tablet, appealing to users who seek the full functionality of a laptop rather than a smartphone in a tablet." Yeah, it doesn't need to be released to know that. I know that, I have a Samsung Series 7 tablet and a Bluetooth keyboard. That fact is 100% true. Check my facebook, im no Microsoft employee. Surface running WP8 wouldn't have been nearly as good. And you obviously haven't been using Windows 8 to say there are absolutely no applications.
Surface pro is aimed at enterprise NOT consumers. Enterprise using iPads will likely switch to a Windows 8 powered Tablet. Why? Because it is compatible with all legacy applications, and runs FULL WINDOWS. If you are the expert in this, get off the computer, design a fast, supported, app filled tablet, produce it, manufacture it, and sell it at a discount price. lets see where you end up.
Your headline and your conclusion are ridiculously out of sync and what's in between them is bordering on trivial Why would you want to publish something as banal as this?
How is it out of sync? Google and Microsoft will beat the iPad together, that's what the article and headline was saying, and I very well believe that will happen. Apple wont have the iPad for all eternity, Microsoft and Google will eventually beat out the iPad. why not now? Because you don't think it will? That is very narcissistic don't you think? what you say, goes? i'm sorry, didn't realize you had that much power over he population.
You must be joking…a yellow journalism headline backed up by nothing.
Another obvious hack writer for microsoft
I think he is joking. Says he "covers global markets, business and investment strategy", just didn't mention he covers them in bullshit.
An article about nothing. How about wait until we see whether products work before reviewing them. Know anyone who has used a Surface?
You stated other companies learned from the mistakes of RIMM and HP. New tablets are focused on niche markets. So the Nexus and Surface will beat the ipad by not competing with them? I guess China's plan for beating the Dream Team in basketball is to boycott the Olympics. I guess prof. of Economics doesn't mean as much as it used to. It's must be easy to get views by posting a controversial title even when there is no substance in the article. Shame on Forbes for allowing this post through.
A totally irrelevant article that ignores that little something called the Appleverse. You can't see the forest for the trees. End of story.
Maybe you have had too much Souvlaki?
First ipad mini is coming which will be cheaper and fend off that side of your argument.
Two, people with iphone will buy ipad. Think ecosystem. Also, if the other two dont do well, they could be discontinued like the touchpad and you will have nothing.
Three, Apple has so many people left to sell. It has the schools and businesses. It is constantly upgrading and improving.
It will be hard if not impossible for the others to catch up. The larger the number of competitors means the more splintered the non-ipad market will be.
Στην υγειά σου!
Who will be the winner, Google, Samsung, HTC, RIMM, Apple, Microsfot ? I don't know and I do not care.
I like to know about what is coming and see all the tech specs side by side, but betting on any of them though is like going to the casino. With such a competition its impossible to know. Apple has a great product but competition will catch up. Anyone can make an Android based phone due to its open platform and immediately access all of the software in the ecosystem. Apple shutting down access to Youtube is doubtfully wise or good for them. Then you have the Microsoft wildcard or virtually any new comer (RIMM, Dell….). Trying to predict who the winner will be is like playing the Russian roulette with your money. And then you have the Ultrabooks promoted by Intel which are an amazing and powerful substitute to all the tablets / smartphones / iPads around.
I am investing on mobile laterally without trying to pick up the winner. I am sure that the providers to the foundries which make that technology possible will be benefited. And who is that ? It's Applied Materials (AMAT). They will make money no matter who wins that mother of all competition that is changing it's marketplace so violently. AMAT sells the machines with which all those things are made: http://investing.kuchita.com/2012/07/08/technology-bundle-applied-materials-dell-western-digital/. And the good thing is that they have a gigantic moat almost impossible to replicate, it's hardly followed by the investing community, they have hardly any competition, and will be around even if the gadgets from Apple, Google or Microsoft disappear.
They may be able to beat the iPad soon, but I think you need to ponder from the viewpoint of software usability (fluidity, ease of use), battery life, abundance of curated apps, pricing, availability of dedicated forums and community, product premium feel, company track record etc.
Google's Nexus 7 And Microsoft's Surface Tablets are not available in Cambodia. In Phnom Penh, there are about 6 Apple shops.
How can you win without a store here in Cambodia!!!
Talk about missing the forrest for the trees. For the sake of argument, let's assume that the Nexus 7 and the (purely hypothetical) Windows Surface have as good or better hardware than the iPad. That's a pretty big "if", but bear with me.
So what' missing from that analysis? Why the third leg of the stool – ecosystem. The iPad's dominant advantage is ecosystem. It's easier to buy content. It's easier to acquire more and better Apps. It's easier to share data via iCloud. And it's easier to purchase and maintain one's software and hardware through Apple's retail stores.
I say nothing ill about the Nexus 7 and the upcoming Windows Surface. But comparing them to the iPad without mentioning ecosystem is like comparing the dessert to the beach without mentioning the absence of the presence of the ocean.
You are nothing but an Android and Windows fanboy. People only want iPads, not android or Windoze tabcraplets
Google will beat the IPad because it has a $199 7″ tablet???
This article is really poor.
Reading this article ignores the reason why the iPad has been so dominant. To view success in the marketplace based on hardware specs and pricing ignores why Apple is winning the battle right now.
The ecosystem Apple has created and the simplicity of the connectivity between mobile, laptop, and tablet devices is their core strength. Apple understood a long time ago the greatest majority of users don't want to be experts in using devices. They want value (and are willing to pay for it), reliability, and utility.
If anyone has a chance to disrupt this, it would be Amazon because their ecosystem is going to rival Apple and in some ways it may be possible to surpass Apple. It would be interesting to see them team with Microsoft and leverage their combined strengths. Maybe wishful thinking but that could be a game changer.
For my money, the game will not be won based on the criteria you mention.
The short length of the article seemed suspicious to me for such an opinionated title, also considering the huge fonts used. The disclosure at the end gave some re-enforcement making me actually skim through. But at the article turned out to be pure quality bullshit.
24,919 people (and counting) lost 3 minutes of their lives on a cheap article = 74,757 minutes = 1,245.95 hours = 52 days of the word gone into nothing. And who knows how much the advertisers will be charged for these empty page views.
Boo on you… take down your photo…

As an owner of both a Google Nexus and iPad (and every other significant pen/ tablet platform from the last 20 years) I have to say that Panos has called this one wrong.
The iPad will continue to dominate and extend its dominance because it does what the Android OS fails to do: provide users with a clear and predictable UI experience.
Yes, there will always be those geeks who want to tweak their tablet interfaces to the 'nth degree, but the vast majority of users want simplicity, predictability and security – three things that Android fails to deliver when compared with iOS.
Until Google addresses this shortcoming, the majority of consumers will continue to buy iOS devices that simply work as they expect and need them to.
I don't think this is just a spec war. This is a confidence war, who's got the better platform that makes people want to have it, numbers be damned. Have consumers got the confidence in Surface? Outside of Amazon, has anyone managed to make a profitable tablet that's not subsidised by smartphones or other areas of their business?
No – Confidence is what you need when you go to a job interview. It's not something you need to sell a small computer. For that you need to have great industrial design, great software, great 3rd party support and ecosystem.
I'm not even sure you can say Amazon is making a profitable tablet. We don't know how much money they are making or losing on each tablet sold, but I can tell you that Apple is making far more profit than Amazon for each tablet sold.
Apple's CEO is a master of supply chain management. Apple can run the table because they have the say in how much they will pay for components. They have total control over their costs because they sell so many devices and know how to spread manufacture of the same components over different manufacturers to eek out the best prices. Apple works with 3 different companies making the screens for their iPads (Samsung, Sharp, and LG). If one of them fails to perform (or conform) to Apple's wishes, they just get written out of the equation.
With all due respect this is a really lame article.
"the biggest hardware breakthrough of Microsoft's release is the included touch cover keyboard built into its case"
Seriously? You know there are dozens of cases for tablets with built-in keyboards, don't you? More likely this points to a weakness in Microsoft's OS in that they couldn't completely do away with the keyboard. This reminds me of the criticisms of the original iPhone. People said it would fail because it didn't have a keyboard. How did that work out?
Microsoft makes money from Windows and from Office. They are clinging to the hope that they can keep Office relevant so they can keep charging a ton of money for it. I don't see it. People are finding that they can get by just fine without MS Word. Now that the IT departments have given up on trying to control what tech employees use MS is facing a losing battle. I think that use of MS Office will slowly decay over the next few years.
More Apple-bear click-bait garbage from the desperate idiots at Forbes.
Pretty sad excuse for financial "journalism" you hacks are peddling these days.
Mr Mourdoukoutas is wrong when he says MSFT is a latecomer to the party. If you know the history of MSFT, they came out with the first tablet over 10 years ago. Their offerings were so miserable nobody knew about it. Their latest tablet, called Surface, is the first to adopt the modern form factor established by Apple with a touch screen (MSFT's initial offerings used a stylus), an App Store, cameras, GPS, accelerometer, and ability to play media and music.
MSFT's mobile offerings, including the Zune, and Windows Phone have been extremely dismal, failing to make any headways into their respective markets. All the reviewers here questioning Mr Mourdoukoutas's comments are legitimate. MSFT hasn't proven themselves yet in the mobile space and they've had ample time to do so.
The reviews for Surface have been very positive, but it remains how MSFT will support the product. If they treat Surface the same way they treat Windows Phone, which is to stop support when a new model comes out (see Windows Phone 6), consumers could backlash and sales could be hurt.
I should also say Mr Mourdoukoutas's article here is not very well written and is very short sighted. He has 2 bullet points highlighting his argument: 1) Hardware and 2) Software which is a popular argument thrown up by Apple haters and it's not an unfair assessment as many competitors have 'caught up' to Apple on the spec sheet.
Where Mr Mourdoukoutas has failed in his argument is number 3) Ecosystem, which he failed to mention entirely. Apple has done a very good job thus far integrating their products vertically to work with each other. I can use iTunes to synch my music and movies with my PC. There are a host of other uses for iDevices:
Airplay allows you to wirelessly control music hooked up to speakers anywhere in your home. Belkin also has an accessory that will allow you to hook up any device to a wall plug and control it via your iPad or iDevice. Passbook can allow you to pay for services at Target or Starbucks, or even check in for flights at United and American Airlines.
Apple products tend to have higher number of accessories for their products because they don't have that many products in their lineup to begin with (not to mention they sell really well). Their accessories also tend to be higher in quality than those for Google/Android. If you have a Nest thermostat you can control it remotely and turn the heat on in your house before you get home. If you have Apple tv you can use your iDevice to control it.
Basically the point I'm trying to make is, none of the players above, Google or Microsoft, has the kind of 3rd party support that Apple currently enjoys. It's something that cannot be ignored.
Nice balanced and well thought out article, rather than the usual venomously pro Apple, pro Google or pro Microsoft articles that I have seen on many other sites by so called analysts. The reality is that all three platforms will find a market share for themselves and introduce a wider range of users to the world of PCs, which is not dying, only evolving. The consumer is the winner here.
Think I'll just settle for a 6″ 'phablet'.

Play level 1 and go through the subway when you need to get both Legacy Drives for the Lightning Rod. When you get out on the other side, go into the alley that has the fence with a junkyard on the other side. Walk up to the fence. Press Triangle when equipped with the Lightning Rod and quickly change to your hands to grab on to the top of the fence. Jump over to the other side, then go to the wall that has the ladder on it. Climb up the ladder and get up to the top of the building. Once there, you will find a piece of paper hovering above the ground. Walk into that paper. A message stating that survival mode has been unlocked will appear. Save the game, then enter the bonus option at the main menu to access the new option.
Play the China-town level after getting the Katar. Climb up the Chinese house that has the huge flame on the porch. When you are up there, someone will surprise attack. Kill him and go to the opposite side of the part you climbed up to. Go to the back of the house, but stay on the balcony. Jump to the building on the far side (all the way down, as far as you can see) and look around for another piece of paper. Walk into it, and you will unlock the 3 minute battle mode option.
Algla transforms into another monster. When he turns a color, change to the color of the weapon. It does the real damage to Agla.
There are two mini-games in EOE. To get survival mode, on one of the rooftops in the first level, there is a little screen in between two boxes. To get boss battle, you need to beat the game once and get the twin blades. After you restore power to the main elevator in the Wisdom HQ, if you go to the library on the employee's side, your can access the door, and just jump across the third level and it's there.
Successfully complete the game on any difficult setting to unlock "Survival" and "3 Minute Attack" modes.
Successfully complete the game on any difficulty setting, then save the game after the credits end. Load the saved game and when you start the game you will have the Twin Daggers, which is the best weapon in the game.

Corsicana —
For years, the closest connection between Derrick Days and the oil patch was the name, but in recent years there's been at least a few links to that history that helped build Corsicana. The tour was guided by C.L. "Buster" Brown, former mayor of Corsicana and an oilman himself.
The tour included stops at Petroleum Park on South 12th Street in Corsicana, where the first oil well was sunk; the former refinery on South 15th, which was the first refinery west of the Mississippi; as well as a long stop at the former home of Tuckertown, the rough neck tent city that sprang up in response to the enormous oil field that stretched between where the town of Navarro and the town of Powell are now.
Mildred is now where Tuckertown was, and the final stop of the tour was at the Mildred town hall, where a historical marker stands.
The discovery of oil in Corsicana, the first commercial oil field west of the Mississippi in 1894, was enormous for Navarro County, but not as big as the discovery of the Powell Woodbine in 1923. The first well was intended to be a water well, but the oil was even closer to the surface.
Brown said that when they finally hit the much-sought-after water, it came up hot and mineral-laden. The city built a natatorium and used the warm water to fill the pool inside. "After they filled the pool they had to wait a day before they could swim in it because it was so hot," Brown explained.
The tour also included a short description of the geological make-up of the area, which created the oil pool under the county.
In all, about 125 million barrels of oil were pulled out of the field, and it's still producing, although in much lower quantities, Brown said.
"Two thirds of the 125 million barrels was pulled out in the first five years," Brown said.
It was during those boom years that the older schools in Corsicana ISD were built — Drane, Lee and Sam Houston — and the ornate yellow Chase Bank building, previously called the State National Bank.
Those were boom years for Corsicana, when the city's population was about 50,000 people, and money came up out of the ground in geysers.
"Corsicana's never been that big since," Brown said. "We don't have half that population now."

Staff Reports
The Cullman Times
BIRMINGHAM — West Point's baseball team brought a bit of offensive firepower to a sleety, snowy field in Birmingham, going berserk for 32 runs in a pair of mercy-rule victories over Parker on Saturday.
The Warriors began the day with a 14-4 win and ended it with an 18-2 rout to improve to 4-1 on the early season.
Dalton Looney was superb in a five-inning, complete-game outing on the mound in the opening game. He struck out eight and allowed three earned runs, four hits and four walks.
Will Wrenn was a perfect 2 for 2 with three runs, while Tate Duckett was 2 for 3 with a couple of runs. Wesley Smith chipped in one hit and three RBIs; Ryder Jones, one hit, three runs and two RBIs; Jordan McKenzie, one hit and three runs; Cameron Brock, one hit, two RBIs; Looney, one hit, one run and one RBI; and Wesley Waters, two runs.
Jones was the winning pitcher in Game 2, striking out seven in three innings of one-hit ball. Both runs he allowed were unearned. Wrenn came through with a strikeout in one inning relief, and McKenzie K'd two in the fifth.
Wrenn capped off an outstanding day at the plate with a 3-for-4, three-RBI outburst, while Jones was a flawless 2 for 2 with four runs. Waters contributed two hits and three runs; Smith, one hit, two runs and one RBI; McKenzie, one hit and three runs; Duckett, three stolen bases and one run; Farley, one hit, one RBI and one run; Looney, one hit and one RBI; and Adam Stewart and Brock, one hit apiece.
West Point will host the Cullman County Baseball Tournament this upcoming week. As the top seed, the Warriors won't play until Tuesday.

Grant shows us how to dig our dinner from the sea on a spring break getaway where all you need is a paddle, a PFD and a spirit of adventure.
Kayak Tillamook supplies the boats, the paddles, PFD'S (Personal Flotation Device) and the expertise while you slip inside the cozy confines of a sea kayak that allows you to go "Paddling for Clamming."
Lead guide, Marc Hinz, said that all you need do is show up "dressed for the day," but he cautioned: "Wear anything but cotton! Our standard mantra is 'cotton kills' because it absorbs the water and holds it to next to your body, so it's bad news. Good news are the synthetics or even wool clothing."
We timed our visit across Nehalem Bay in Tillamook County during the last hour of the ebb tide.
"It's my favorite time of the tide and time of the year," noted Hintz. "There are more visible wildlife like eagles and elk and fewer people around so it fits together well for a unique adventure."
A slow moving outgoing tide eased our paddling from the Nehalem Bay County Boat Ramp (located just off Coastal Hwy 101 north of Wheeler, Oregon where you should be prepared to pay $3 for a parking permit) on a journey toward inter-tidal mud flats.
Hinz said it was a good time of the tide to be on our adventure: "It's perfect – there's just a little bit of outgoing to help move us along. If it's going out really fast or coming in really fast it's harder to paddle against the current. On this sort of trip you really want the bottom of the tide."
Our party traveled to the area at this particular time of the tide for good reason: we wanted to dig our dinner – really! We were after bay clams that most folks overlook or have never heard of called the Eastern Softshells.
As the name suggests, eastern softshell clams are not a native clam species. The bivalve was introduced to Oregon coastal estuaries more than a century ago to jump-start a commercial shellfish industry.
Mitch Vance, a shellfish biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, said that the eastern softshell occupies a unique habitat niche that doesn't compete with other more popular bay clam species like cockle, steamer or quahog clams.
As a result and put simply, the eastern softshell doesn't get a lot of pressure.
The lack of popularity may be the reason for a generous 36-clam daily limit.
That – plus the fact that digging the clams takes effort – and – you should be ready to get dirty. You see, the clams live in a soft sandy, gravelly and even muddy substrate and you must dig down a foot and a half to reach them.
My favorite technique is to dig a large hole and then excavate the sides of the hole outward. The technique reveals the clams where they live.
If you follow the technique you can easily pick the clams off the sides of the ever-growing hole.
But be prepared to get dirty in the doing of the deed, but for me, it's sort of activity that makes you feel like a kid again!
Vance added that eastern softshell clams can be dug up and down the Oregon coast: "Tillamook Bay, Netarts Bay, down to Yaquina and Coos Bays are all really productive for bay clams."
Remember that all clammers – 14 years and older - must have an ODFW shellfish harvest license. Each clammer must bring a container for the catch too.
"Everyone should dig their own clams," added Vance. "And keep them in their own containers. That way we avoid one person digging clams for others. Each person should take part in the recreation."
In addition, if you choose to paddle your own canoe or kayak, remember that you must purchase/carry an Oregon Aquatic Invasives Species Permit.
The permit is required for boats 10' long and longer.
The annual permits are for sale through ODFW License agents or from their website. One and two-year Tyvek tags are available through the Oregon State Marine Board. An on line form is also available.
"The softshell clams reach 4 or 5 inches in length and the digging of the clams is really just the start. For me, the best part of the adventure takes place in the kitchen where I enjoy cooking the catch even more.
A flick of a sharp knife blade opens the clam shell and then the meat is rinsed off. I also cut away and clean off the clam's stomach and its contents. Most of the meat in an eastern softshell clam is found in the neck. I like to use the knife blade to open up the clam neck, so the entire affair lies flat on a plate.
In my kitchen, the clam meat gets a bath of flour – then an egg wash and then another bath of cracker crumbs before it goes into the hot oiled frying pan – I prefer olive or vegetable oil.
Don't cook the clam more than a minute per side for there's nothing worse than an overcooked clam.
The cooking of the catch rounds out the day-long adventure – one that's waiting for you in an Oregon estuary this spring and summer.
The Oregon Department of Fish and wildlife offers an online shellfish map that locates bay clams beds throughout the state's coastal estuaries – it's a valuable resource for novice or experienced clammers alike.
"It's really fun for families to go clam digging," said Vance. "It's easy to do, not a ton of gear required and it's something kids can do too. Plus, you get to eat what you catch!"
Eastern softshell clams
eggs (beaten)
bread crumbs, panko or cracker crumbs
salt & pepper
vegetable or olive oil
After removing the clam necks from the shell, peel off the outer brown skin and cut off the black tip. Then "butterfly" the neck so it lays out flat.
Coat the pieces in flour, egg, then bread crumbs (panko or cracker crumbs work well too) and lightly salt and pepper if desired.
Heat oil in a medium skillet until hot enough to fry. Cook clam until golden brown - just a minute or so or they quickly become chewy.
As the suburbs grow larger and our pace of life goes faster, it's good to know that some Oregon places provide an outdoor escape into a bit of the backwoods.
Grant McOmie takes us to one local forestland where you can escape the city's hustle and bustle and learn more about Oregon's forests too.
Spring has returned to Oregon's forests and you can see the splendor in showy ways. Not just the blossoms or the fresh greenery, but brilliant sunshine on a day too nice to stay indoors.
If you follow Bill Wood's lead, there's a good chance you'll learn something new too. Bill Wood is chief guide and the man in charge at the Magness Tree Farm and he will teach you much about life in his forest.
Magness Tree Farm is an 80-acre parcel tucked into the hills just a handful of miles between Wilsonville and Sherwood, Oregon. In 1977, Howard and Pansy Magness donated the land to be used for purposes of environmental education.
The site boasts more than two miles of trail; most of it is a fairly gentle grade and as you hike, you will often have Corral Creek by your side. Down close to ground, you will also enjoy the first signs of spring: white-faced trilliums light up the scene and they are prime right now.
"Most of the spring flowers are beginning to show," noted Wood. "We'll have all kinds of color here in the next four or five weeks. But right now is trillium time and we have hundreds."
Magness is just part of the outdoor education story because it is owned by the nearby World Forestry Center, (located in Portland's west hills adjacent to the Oregon Zoo.) If you travel to the WFC, step indoors and explore the Discovery Museum for hands on education that compliments the outdoor experience.
The World Forestry Center's Discovery Museum offers more than 100 exhibits that will open your eyes and perhaps capture your imagination.
You can go aboard a whitewater raft, climb into a tree lift that soars more than 50 high for a bird's eye view into a tree canopy or you can buckle up in a four wheel drive vehicle to tour an African rain forest.
"We really want the experiences to be enjoyed by the family; not just for kids, not just for adults," noted spokesperson Mark Reid. "We have things for every member of the family and at every age level."
Laurie Hale hadn't been to the World Forestry Center since she was a kid. On this trip, she wanted her three young children to see what the museum experience is all about.
"I was here in 6th grade and it was awesome then," she said. "Now, it's even better with a lot of inter-active things for the kids to do. They can pretend they're at a log mill, ride a parachute like a smokejumper – and the best part is that they're actually doing those things."
Back in the forest at the Magness Tree Farm, be sure to check out the three rustic cabins that you can rent for a longer stay. Each cabin sleeps up to 12 people and offers electricity, but no heat – so if you spend the night, you want to prepare for colder nights. Reservations are required.
Bill Wood said that once folks discover the Magness landscape, they seldom want to leave:
"When they first come here, they are awe-inspired by the creek and the serenity of the surroundings. They hear the birds, see the squirrels and relax with their kids. When we see them a second time, they usually bring another family and so our circle expands. It's really a wonderful place to be and yet you don't have to travel far to get here."
Most weeks, Grant McOmie travels into the great Oregon outdoors to find unique adventures but not so this week. Instead, he's found his way into the heart of Portland where the natural world is alive and well.
Grant visits a unique eco-pub where sustainability is king and where reduce, reuse and recycle provide the foundation of a thriving new business called the "HUB - Hopworks Urban Brewery."It's called the "HUB" and it's a neighborhood hit where standing room only is the rule on most nights.
Folks come from all over to SE Portland's 29th and Powell to sip a brew, dine with friends and relax in the knowledge that things are different in the newest neighborhood eco-pub.
Keri Rose, a neighbor and regular customer, explained: "It's amazing beer that's organically brewed, plus really friendly people and I think you get something uniquely Portland. I think the HUB speaks to all of us who are really oriented toward that way of life."
The HUB is an eco-Pub and it's a first on the SE Portland brew scene that's built upon the practices of sustainability, organic ingredients and eco-friendly ideas.
The business is the brainchild of Christian Ettinger, the HUB's Brewmaster (he has fourteen years experience brewing beer,) and alongside his dad, Roy Ettinger, (a veteran architect of forty years experience) the team co-designed the nearly 17,000 square foot eco-pub.
Both agree, the 1948 building that they selected for the HUB, once a diesel fuel depot and a former Caterpillar Tractor showroom wasn't always warm or inviting.
"Oh no, not at all," noted the elder Ettinger. " It was full of dust, you couldn't lean on anything because you'd get black soot on you. There were tons of wires strung on the ceiling …just 43 years of decay and dust and it was that greasy, grime."
Christian quickly added, "We turned what was 60 years of a business into piles of material that were to be either recycled or shredded into fuel or reused."
The deconstruction took over a year an a half to complete - but they salvaged every bit of material from the old building – the first step in walking the talk of creating a sustainable brewery and restaurant where reduce, reuse and recycle is an everyday business.
Christian noted that the bones of the building, the old growth doug fir posts, beams and planks were solid, substantial and deserved new life. The old wood became the booths, bar and other varied pieces of furnishings in the HUB.
And then there is Christian's signature statement; scores of bike frames and old wheel rims that were incorporated above the bar and the booths of his pub. "Every one of these frames was recycled and I'm only about 300 bucks into this – and it really sets the bar apart from anyplace around."
Downstairs, you could say the same thing about the HUB's brewery where pesticide-free and fertilizer-free ingredients are staples of the 10 crafted organic beers that the HUB produces each week.
In the kitchen, organic ingredients take center stage too – from pizza dough to the sauces to the sandwiches with all the trimmings and more. In fact, even the heat from the pizza oven is recycled and circulated to heat the heat the pub's water.
"That's free heat," said Christian. "Free heat is free energy and lowers our bills but it also lowers our needs to bring in fossil fuels."
Lionne Decker, the HUB's General Manager, is quick to point out that the entire HUB team walks the talk of taking care of the environment and making customers smile at the same time.
It starts with a commitment to the environment, a commitment to what you're putting on the plate, what you're putting in the pint. Really, it's a commitment to leaving the world a better place than we found it. It's amazing! It really is."
It's amazing adventure that may keep you coming back for more – built upon a philosophy worth living.
The Hub is one of just three Oregon breweries – out of 80 statewide – that have made the move to produce all organic beer.
The folks who work at the HUB are eager to share and explain all of the different ways that they walk the talk of sustainability. So, stop in and enjoy a beer and strike up a conversation! The folks at HUB will be pleased to tell their story - it's that sort of a friendly, neighborhood place.
Some of the best travel experiences across Oregon happen at places that offer teachable moments through touchable history.
Grant McOmie takes us to an iconic site in southwest Oregon that will put you in touch with geologic history that reaches back 250 million years.
It's an above and below ground adventures at the Oregon Caves National Monument. When you trek inside "Mt Elijah" at the Oregon Caves National Monument, you must go through a locked gate. It's just the other side of that gate that you discover it's a national park land unlike any you've visited before.
"Imagine what it may have been like here in the 1870's," said NPS Park Ranger Sandy Gladish. "Elijah Davidson went into this cave to rescue his dog named Bruno. He thought the dog was in trouble because it had chased a bear into the darkness. So, Elijah did too and that's how Oregon Caves was discovered."
The half-mile long trail thru the Oregon Caves offers shadowy glimpses into a timeless world of mystery and adventure.
Park rangers like Sandy Gladish can teach you much about the place that - despite its century old national designation - remains surprisingly foreign to many visitors.
"It's called "Oregon Caves" because early explorers thought there were a lot of caves here," noted Gladish. "The name just stuck even though there's but one cave."
"Visitors tend to think the cave is all there is but there's a lot more – in the monument and the area around us," added George Herring, the NPS Monument's Chief Interpreter.
He said that the 480-acre national parkland – established in 1909 - offers miles of trails with stunning scenery of mountains, creeks and waterfalls.
"It really is an opportunity for folks to explore their own Oregon backyard and discover geologic complexity that parallels any other place on the planet. You also learn that a little bit of intellectual curiosity can go a long way toward experiencing a very different world."
The adjacent "Chateau at the Oregon Caves" provides a base camp to launch your adventures. It is a five story wooden lodge built of locally milled lumber, plus massive hand hewn doug fir posts and beams.
The Chateau at the Oregon Caves opened to the public in 1934 and the lodge's rustic simplicity (surprisingly, there are only 23 spacious rooms) provides a warm setting supported by down home family comfort that's based upon a simple idea:
"It is a cool cave with a warm hearth," chuckled Menno Kraai, the Chateau's General Manager. "When you walk in the lobby, see a fire in the fireplace and then gaze up to the large fir beams and posts, it all says Oregon!"
There are few distractions at the Chateau – no phones, radios or TV contribute to a sense of isolation, but that's a good thing. The lack of distractions offers a wonderful chance to reconnect with your family or friends that makes the time here so fulfilling.
The Chateau also offers a super cool Oregon Caves Coffee Shop that will also make you feel right at home.
"Our counter is like a huge S-shaped serving tray," noted Laura Empems, the Chateau's Hospitality Manager. "Each person can be served from behind the long counter – plus the knotty pine paneling on the walls adds up to an experience that's like stepping back in time. People love that – and the milkshakes too."
Back down in the Oregon Caves, the temperature is a constant 44-degrees, so be sure you are prepared for the 90-minute tour with a jacket, cap and comfortable shoes. Don't forget a camera to capture stunning stalactites that drop from above and stalagmites that reach to the roof.
"These form drip by drip by drip, noted Gladish. "They can take anywhere from a hundred to a thousand years to grow just an inch."
"The true adventure is coming up the highway, letting go of the present and spending time in the past," added Herring. "You will relax here – nature doesn't give you any choice!"
Grant McOmie is a big believer that back-road adventures are the best when they provide sneak peeks at nature. He says that's really true when you travel to the east side of the Columbia River Gorge where wildflowers are "bustin' out all over" as he discovered during a bit of "Mosier Meanderings."
There are many prized Oregon destinations that provide special scenic wonders as spring mows the winter season away.
The Columbia River Gorge is a place where the views are never twice the same and moments of beauty are easily found along trails that you can hike or bike.
The eastern point of view to the gorge is especially huge, sprawling and hard to miss at places like the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center in The Dalles. It's a timeless place that's easy on the eyes and provides memories that last a lifetime.
"We are the eastern gateway to people visiting the gorge for the first time," noted Carolyn Purcell, Director of the Discovery Center. "Many first time visitors to the gorge are actually coming from the east and they stop here for an orientation to the gorge. They soon learn what's important about it, the cultural and natural history and also new places to see and experience."
You're apt to find me off the beaten path in this part of Oregon – sometimes where the asphalt turns to gravel or where the dirt takes over and nature's touch restores the soul.
You may get the bug to explore Columbia River Gorge back roads too and the Columbia River Scenic Highway 30 is a fine place to start. If you chose to travel the byway, head for Mosier (I-84 Exit #69) and try some meandering - (Note: you will slow down because the narrow winding roadway gives you little choice.)
Don't be surprised if you cross paths with noted landscape photographer, Steve Terrill. His favorite gorge haunts are at their prime at this time of year when spring's is "bustin' out all over." "From the clouds to the lighting to the colorful flowers, it's all so wonderful in April and May," said the longtime photographer. "It's just a gorgeous place to look around for the bright beautiful balsamroot; the crimson red paintbrush and the contrasting purple lupine; it's just an explosion of color."
If you go to Mosier, consider two nearby parklands: the first is Memaloose State Park Campground with plenty of elbow room and a campground for an overnight stay and also nearby Mayer State Park where a picnic lunch is a perfect match at a parkland that sprawls riverside under reliably blue skies.
There are acres of wildflowers to be sure, but there are notable waterfalls – some a bit more secretive too - like Mosier Creek Falls that drops more than 100-feet from top to bottom. And all of this – waits for you – anytime!
Directions to Mosier Creek Falls: From Hwy 84, take exit 69 into Mosier and drive east through town on 1st St (hwy 30). Continue through the middle of town past the totem pole and business area. Just east of Idaho Street, you will come to a small bridge with concrete railing that crosses over Mosier Creek. The trail begins just east of the bridge on the south (uphill) side of the road. You will see a park bench inscribed with "Pioneer Cemetery" at the beginning of the trail.
The Columbia River Gorge offers moments of magic through natural beauty and from the memories that we create with our friends or family. One of the best ways to discover the varied gorgeous seasonal hikes is to connect with the Friends of the Columbia River Gorge, a non-profit organization that provides experts who lead hikes throughout the year.

Motorcyclist injured when he lays his bike down
May 3, 2013
News-Register Staff
A motorcyclist was injured Thursday afternoon when he laid his 2004 Harley-Davidson down to avoid rear-ending a vehicle, according to McMinnville police.
Sgt. Tim Symons identified the victim as Steve P. Farley, 60, of 16801 S.W. Masonville Road, McMinnville. He gave this account:
Farley was riding northbound in the 2100 block of N.E. Lafayette Ave. when he took evasive action to avoid crashing into a vehicle that was part of a line of vehicles.
He was transported by McMinnville Fire Department ambulance to the Cascade Steel Rolling Mills property and then flown by a Life Flight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. He was reported in serious condition.
The incident remains under investigation and no citations have been issued. Officers have not had an opportunity to interview Farley, Symons said.

A 1-yard touchdown run by Christian Brown at the end of regulation gave Clarksville a 24-20 victory over Providence Friday night and capped a wild fourth quarter in the city championship game.
Brown's touchdown came after Providence quarterback Nathan Banet hit Dorian Noel for an 80-yard touchdown strike with just over two minutes left in the contest. Up until that point, the Pioneers' second-half offense was non-existent.
Providence, whose top running backs Matt Bell and Owen Mattingly were sidelined with leg injuries, went three-and-out on three consecutive second-half possessions and saw a fourth end in an interception when Marquise Parrish picked off a Nathan Banet pass at the Providence 30 early in the fourth quarter.
"It was exciting down to the end," Clarksville (5-4) coach Steve Cooley said. "We had a blown coverage there (on the Noel scoring catch) that never should have happened, but our kids hung in there. It was another great Clarksville-Providence game."
Parrish's interception led to a 7-yard touchdown pass from Aidan McEwen to Brandon Hardin and gave Clarksville their first lead of the night, 18-14 with 8:52 left in the contest.
On their next possession, the Generals drove deep into Providence territory again. A McEwen pass on fourth down attempted for Hardin was picked off by Josh Meurner at the Clarksville 20 with less than three minutes remaining.
On the very next play, Banet hit Noel on a post pattern at midfield, and Noel outsprinted Andrew Wright to find the end zone.
"We worked on that this week, it looked good in practice and we pulled it out at the right time," Dennison said. "We just are a little bit banged up right now. We had a lot of guys who should have been in there out, and hopefully we can get them back next week."
McEwen, who appeared to be hobbled for most of the night with a right leg injury, hung in the pocket and completed 18 of 28 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns, although he also was picked off three times. On his final drive leading the Generals down the field, he completed passes of 11 and 13 yards to Parrish and Nathaniel Jones, and runs of 15 and 17 yards by Brown took the Generals inside the 10. As the clock ran down to the end, Jones' 1-yard run up the gut clinched it and gave the Generals the victory.
The Generals did themselves in early with penalities. On Clarksville's first drive, two plays - a 35-yard run by Brown and 27-yard pass play from McEwen to Parrish -were called back for penalities. On third down, McEwen's pass intended for Nate Knight was picked off by Providence lineman Cory Cecil, who returned the football to the Clarksville 35.
Four plays later, Banet hit Noel in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown pass with 5:14 remaining. Andrew Wimp added the extra point, and Providence led 7-0.
Clarksville was assessed nine penalties for 84 yards in the first half.
A late first-quarter drive by Clarksville extended itself early into the second quarter and resulted in a one-yard touchdown from Brown. But Wyatt Kissell's kick went wide right, and the Pioneers clung to a 7-6 lead with 11:20 left in the half.
Sophomore running back Matt Bell, part of a banged-up offensive crew for the Pioneers who saw limited action a week ago with a deep thigh bruise, scampered for a 54-yard touchdown run along the Clarksville sideline to answer the Clarksville touchdown with 8:54 left in the half. Wimp added the extra point to make it 14-6.
Neither squad managed to score in the remainder of the half, but Clarksville was driving deep into Providence territory towards intermission. The Generals attempted a flea flicker after McEwen handed off to Parrish, but Parrish's pass was picked off by Mattingly in the Providence end zone and time ran out to close the first half.
Clarksville struck first in the second half on a four-yard pass play from McEwen to Nick Jones with 1:12 remaining in the third quarter to come to within 14-12. Aside from the long pass play to Noel, the Pioneer offense could only muster 54 yards of total offense in the second half and two first downs.
"You have to give them a lot of credit," Dennison said. "They took it to us and really played hard as well."
The loss came on a night when the Pioneers honored former Coach Gene Sartini and unveiled a sign that named the football field in his honor. Sartini, a member of the Indiana High School Football Hall of Fame, retired in 2010 after coaching at the school for 40 years.
Sectional play begins next week as both teams hit the road. Providence travels to Paoli, while Clarksville faces Pekin Eastern Friday night.

It's that time of the year again to make predictions for the upcoming Major League Baseball season. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I'm a huge baseball fan, so this is all in fun.
Just so you know, last season I predicted the Atlanta Braves and the New York Yankees in the World Series. Well, we all know how that turned out.
Please don't go rushing to your friends in Las Vegas and make some bets (but if you do and win some money, you know where to find me). Okay, I'm kidding. Here's what I think will happen in the 2012 MLB season.
National League East:
1. Philadelphia Phillies
2. Florida Marlins
3. Atlanta Braves
4. Washington Nationals
5. New York Mets
This could end up being the toughest division in baseball. I could see any of the top three teams winning the division. The Phillies have the best pitching, the Marlins have the most powerful line-up and the Braves are the most balanced overall. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the Nationals hang around until September.
The Phillies would be the easy choice if Ryan Howard and Chase Utley were healthy, but with the status of those two all-stars up in the air, it's anyone's division.
If Howard and Utley don't come back by early summer, I could see the Marlins or Braves winning it, but with the Phillies pitching and experience, it's hard to see them not claiming the division.
National League Central
1. Cincinnati Reds
2. St Louis Cardinals
3. Milwaukee Brewers
4. Pittsburgh Pirates
5. Chicago Cubs
6. Houston Astros
The defending champion Cardinals lost Albert Pujols and ace Chris Carpenter is not healthy. Plus, they no longer have Tony LaRussa pulling the strings. Meantime, the Brewers lost Prince Fielder.
The door is open for the Reds to finally breakthrough and claim the crown. They have some pitching questions, but with that offense, I expect them to have enough. Look out for the up-start Pirates. I think Pittsburgh finishes above .500 this season.
National League West
1. Arizona Diamondbacks
2. San Francisco Giants
3. Los Angeles Dodgers

What would you do if you were suddenly faced with a disease that would rob you of your mobility, your speech, your independence, and ultimately your life, all within the space of just a few years? I have asked myself this question countless times since I joined the ALS Association Connecticut Chapter just a few months ago. Although don't know much about who's who in professional sports, it seems I can't remember ever not knowing the story of baseball great Lou Gehrig, who succumbed 61 years ago this past Saturday to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Gehrig stepped off the baseball field and into American legend when he made his "luckiest man on the face of the earth" speech at Yankee Stadium in 1939. Already celebrated for his unparalleled accomplishments as an athlete, and admired for his kindness, humility and determination, Gehrig came to personify the word "hero" after battling ALS with a level of grace and courage that has inspired generations of Americans.
The grace and courage shown by Connecticut's local heroes in the face of ALS, now commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is no less humbling. Brian Savo—just one of the many remarkable individuals whose examples inspire us on a daily basis at the ALS Association Connecticut Chapter—now 36, was diagnosed with ALS in 2009. Savo, a lifelong athlete, the successful owner of a local flooring business, and a young husband and father, was stunned by the news, but turned his considerable energy and passion to what he cares about most. This has meant spending time with his friends and family, coaching the North Haven JV Hockey Team, and generating awareness in the community about ALS—from raising money to support the services of the ALS Association Connecticut Chapter to traveling to Washington DC to advocate with our lawmakers for those living with ALS. "For me it's about turning something bad into something good…you need to focus on what's important in life; and that's living it to the fullest. Find your purpose in life and try to fulfill your goals," he says.
Our local heroes—the hundreds of men and women living with ALS—are distinguished by their passion for spreading awareness about this terrible disease in the hope that, one day, a cure will be found for those who come after them. While nearly a century has passed since Lou Gehrig lost his fight with ALS, we still know far too little about what causes ALS. Despite promising research in recent years, we are still a long way from finding effective treatments or a cure. Affecting as many as 30,000 Americans at one time, ALS is a fatal neuromuscular disease that progresses rapidly, robbing a person of the ability to walk, eat, speak or breathe, and eventually leading to paralysis. All affected will ultimately need intensive, round the clock care, costing as much as $250,000 a year. Many needs are not covered by traditional medical insurance or entitlements, and when family members reduce their work hours or leave work completely to care for a loved one, the financial and emotional burden to the family is often overwhelming. And throughout the progression of the disease, the person affected remains completely aware, the ability to see, smell, taste, hear, or recognize touch intact.
The ALS Association Connecticut Chapter offers hope and help to people living with ALS by delivering concrete services and programs, free of charge, to patients and families throughout the state. Our impact extends beyond the borders of this state through our support of national advocacy efforts and cutting-edge global research into effective treatments and, someday, a cure. We rely completely upon the generosity of donors—individuals, businesses, corporations and foundations.
On Wednesday, June 13th, members of the community can honor the everyday heroes of the ALS Association Connecticut Chapter by attending "Step Up to the Plate", a happy hour fundraiser at Crush Sports Café, located at 1015 Bridgeport Avenue in downtown Milford. The event will feature a silent auction with sports memorabilia, spa packages, Red Sox tickets, a photography session, and more. Attendees can purchase a balloon and get a chance to win a prize donated by a local business. Tickets are $25 in advance; $30 at the door, and entitle the purchaser to appetizers and two drinks. All proceeds from the event will benefit the ALS Association Connecticut Chapter and the services we provide to local patients and families. Call 203-874-5050 or visit www.alsact.org to purchase your ticket. Be a hero—join us at Step Up to the Plate and help our local heroes to create a lasting legacy—a world without ALS.

How to address a cover letter can be tricky if you are responding to a blind ad and don't have a contact person's name to include or you don't know the hiring manager's gender. Here are tips on how to address a cover letter.
How to Address a Cover Letter
If you don't have a contact person at the company you can either leave off the salutation from your cover letter and start with the first paragraph of your letter or use a general salutation.
There a variety of cover letter salutations you can use to address your letter. Employers who responded to an employer survey conducted by Saddleback College preferred:
- Dear Hiring Manager (40%)
- To whom it may concern (27%)
- Dear Sir/Madam (17%)
- Dear Human Resources Director (6%)
- Leave it blank (8%)
Once you have chosen a salutation, follow it with a colon or comma, a space, and then start the first paragraph of your letter. For example:
Dear Hiring Manager:
First paragraph of letter.
How to Address a Cover Letter for a Non-Gender Specific Name
If you do have a name, but aren't sure of the person's gender, an option is to include both the first name and the last name in your salutation:
- Dear Sydney Doe
- Dear Taylor Smith

I was camping on Long Pond in the Adirondacks many years ago. We had hiked in just as the ice was going out to fish for brook trout. It was a wonderful night. The sky was clear and there were more stars in the heavens than the average person ever sees.
Suddenly in the middle of the night, we were all awakened by the beautiful, melodious sound of a pack of marauding coyotes. They seemed to be all around us as they sang and yodeled and howled. It was a nature's concert at its very finest.
Sometimes the things that wake us in the night are not quite so pleasant, though.
One night, we were camping in a wilderness area along the eastern shore of Lake George. While we were sleeping, a giant, earth-shaking boom woke up everything within three miles. A bolt of lightning struck within a few yards of our tent. That was followed by a torrent of rain like no other. The winds howled and the trees creaked. See if you can get back to sleep after that happens.
A few years ago, I was in a lean-to on Moose Pond while hiking the Northville-Placid Trail. Sometime around 11, I was awakened by some sniffing right beside my ear. There was a bear in the lean-to just outside my tent. I quietly picked up my flashlight, put it up next to the thin nylon wall and turned it on. It scared the bear and he went scampering off into the night.
I bring up these little incidents because I had a strange encounter at 3:30 the other morning. No, I wasn't out in a tent with temperatures below zero someplace in the Adirondack wilderness. I was at home in my own bed, sound asleep.

Running is a solitary sport and, while that is one thing that many runners like most about it, it also means that there may be nobody around to point out if you have the proper running form. Some of the most common bad running habits are the result of poor planning or the wrong equipment but, fortunately, these are easy to fix if you take the time necessary to re-train yourself before it's too late.
Stretching Before and After Running
One of the biggest bad habits for runners is not stretching enough. In our busy lifestyles, even dedicated runners sometimes cut this corner in order to shave a little time off their daily run. Taking the time to stretch before and after running may seem unnecessary but it is very important because it not only prepares your body for exercise, it allows it to recover afterward. Running cold without properly warming up your muscles can lead to serious injury. Similarly, running without cooling your muscles down afterwards can cause your muscles to tighten up which can result in shin splints or muscle pulls. Contrary to popular belief, even the most advanced running shoes cannot protect your body against injury if you do not take the time to stretch before and after every run.
Bad Running Form
Another common bad running habit is improper running form. With an individual sport like running, one can sometimes have bad form and never even realize it until it is too late. One way to avoid this is to run on a treadmill with a professional trainer so that your form can be observed and bad habits can be corrected. For example, some runners pump their arms across their chest when they run but this can actually decrease your momentum because the ener
gy generated by the movement of your arms is focused in the wrong direction. If you pump your arms straight, they will help to propel your body forward; however, if you run with your arms pumping across your chest, this same energy is wasted as no forward momentum is generated. By running on a treadmill, someone else can observe your running form and correct this type of mistake that you would never notice on a solitary run.
Many people think that all they need is a pair of running shoes and they are good to go, but running is not really that simple. Sure, a good pair of running shoes is important but taking the time to learn good form and incorporate a good stretching routine before and after your run will make all the difference. Good running habits not only insure that your run gets you the maximum health benefits, they also insure that you will not suffer from unnecessary injuries.
