Personally after 17 years I'd flush and fill with a good coolant, I've never trusted anything that promised to be good for life.
Manufacturers were using coolants supposedly good for life a few years back, I thought GM sent a service bulletin out at one time recommending it be changed on a regular basis, that after testing it broke down and didnt last as long as they thought.
Need to Flush eh? Is it a do it yourself project?
Thanks for the reply ... I absolutely love your avatarOkay I will do that ... is special equipment require to flush the system or is it an easy do it yourself? Any info on the forum on how to do it? What kind of coolant would you recommend?

You can buy a flush kit at a local auto parts store, normally less than $10.
The flush kit hooks into your heater lines and you attach it to your garden hose, run fresh water through the system while the trucks running with the heater turned on and the bottom radiator petcock/drain valve open.
After a few minutes of this the entire system should be flushed out. Shut everything off and disconnect the garden hose and recap the flush adaptor (it stays connected to the truck permanently).
Dont forget to disconnect the over flow and flush it out by sticking the running garden hose into it until fresh water displaces all the old anti freeze.
Drain the radiator of fresh water and refill with your anti freeze mix, empty out the over flow and refill it with anti freeze mix, then run the engine and make sure it reach's correct operating temperature, allow to run a few moments and after shutting off check to make sure you have proper levels.
If you feel you need to run a cleaner/chemical flush through the system do that before you connect the flush kit, follow the directions on the package.
I prefer Prestone myself but have had good results with Dexcool, and if I have a tempermental cooling system I'll use Redline Water Wetter.
The whole flush and fill should take around an hour and only requires a knife to cut the heater line, screwdriver to attach the flush adaptor, and garden hose.
I was checking out youtube and it showed how you can flush your system with just a garden hose. I was looking at my manual and I see that I need to change the antifreeze. It is definitely time. I need that Dex-Cool. Depending on how bad the system is will determine if I use something along with the flush ... I don't think I need it, the flush should be enough. I'm going to see if I can get what I need and do the job tomorrow or Tuesday ... I will let you know how it goes.
While you have it apart, it is also a good time to change the thermostat.Ray

Take apart?
I didn't see anything in the video that required me to take anything apart ... all I have to do is open the outlet on the bottom of the radiator ... drain the old ... then with the outlet still open run the hose in the radiator until the water is clear .... then turn the engine on ... let it get to operating temp ... with the water hose still running ... then turn the heater on for a few minutes until the cab gets warm ... then stop the engine ... after draining close the outlet and fill the radiator with new coolant and that is it ...
Sorry, it was slang for while the system is empty.
The thermostat is a temperature sensitive dam that stops the flow of water while the engine is cold. When the coolant gets hot, the thermostat opens to allow circulation. The thermostat is designed to open at a certain temperature. They do wear out and start opening at lower temps.
You can change the thermostat while the system is full, but some coolant will leak out. The time to change it is when the engine is being flushed.
PS, I don't think it is a good idea to start the engine and run it until the system is flushed, all drains closed and the system is refilled (my 2 cents)

FYI, Dex Cool was designed to have a service life of 150,000. The issue with it was how it reacted with air within a cooling system for those who did not maintain the proper coolant level (or didn't know they had to). I have found that if you closely maintain the coolant level, you won't have the issue of premature deterioration of head gaskets, intake manifold gaskets and other associated intake components. I had about 90,000 miles on a 1993 Blazer before flushing/changing the coolant, but kept it maintained. Never turned brown; always stayed red. Never had an issue with the engine. If you have not maintained the coolant level, or bought your truck used, then it should be definitely flushed/changed.

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has put Brad Friedel back in the starting line-up as Tottenham take on Chelsea.
The American veteran recently had a lengthy run of consecutive games broken by Hugo Lloris, but he has now been reinstated in the team to take on Chelsea in a London derby. Jermain Defoe is also preferred to Emmanuel Adebayor in another selection surprise for Tottenham, while Gylfi Sigurdsson replaces the injured Moussa Dembele in midfield.
Gareth Bale had been named in the starting lineup, but Tottenham issued a correction, replacing him with Tom Huddlestone, after he reportedly left White Hart Lane due to his partner going into labour.
Chelsea, meanwhile, opt for Ramires and John Obi Mikel in midfield to form the double pivot in their 4-2-3-1 formation. John Terry's absence through his four-match ban means that David Luiz and Gary Cahill start at centre-back.
Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1): Brad Friedel, Jan Vertonghen, Steven Caulker, William Gallas, Kyle Walker; Sandro, Gylfi Sigurdsson; Aaron Lennon, Clint Dempsey, Tom Huddlestone; Jermain Defoe.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Ashley Cole; Ramires, John Obi Mikel; Juan Mata, Oscar, Eden Hazard; Fernando Torres.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Q: I am a teacher in a local district. The other day, I walked up to a group of students (male) who were circled up in the hall. To make a long story short, they were looking at a cell phone that had a picture of the owner's naked girlfriend. I didn't look at it, but I heard them discussing it. Please let everyone know that this is a huge deal that is becoming more and more common.
— Name Withheld by Request
A: We couldn't agree more. The rise in "sexting" is phenomenal. The embarrassment and tears caused for both males and females, as well as reputations ruined and hurt to families, continue to amaze us.
What we think students don't understand is if you send a picture of yourself, it is not just going to the person it was sent to. As in your case, there is a group looking and laughing.
Both boys and girls are eager to share these prized possessions of even their closest relationships, not realizing that charges can be filed for possession of pornography and sexual harassment. We could fill this entire page with horror stories of "trusting" people who thought no one else would see their picture.
Everyone needs to work on the assumption that if something is sent, it's being shared and could possibly end up on the Internet.
Thanks for writing in and for all you do in the world of education.
Q: I am 16 years old, and I just found out I'm pregnant. I haven't told anybody yet because I guess I'm still in shock. I really don't know what to do. Can you help me at all?
— Name Withheld
A: You're shocked? Excuse us for sounding like mothers, which we are, but if you're sexually active, then you know that pregnancy is a definite possibility. We hope you didn't actually think it wouldn't happen to you. Now that it has, the first thing you need to do is talk to your parents.
Yes, you need to be prepared for them to be angry, hurt and disappointed — they have a right to be. However, they will be your biggest support, so you need to trust them. In addition, you need to see your family physician as soon as possible. Your physician, along with your parents, can help you explore your options.
You also need to stay in school. The various districts will have different programs for girls in your situation. We urge you not to just focus on your immediate circumstance but to see the importance of your education to your future.
Jeannie and Sally are certified school counselors with 49 years combined educational experience. Jeannie has two children, Sally three. The responses presented don't necessarily represent the views of any certain school district. Please send questions to email@example.com.

WASHINGTON -- Three months after the Newtown, Conn., shooting, President Obama said Americans and lawmakers should be ashamed if they've forgotten the calls for tighter gun laws that followed the elementary school massacre.
"The entire country was shocked, and the entire country pledged we would do something about it and that this time would be different," Obama said Thursday at the White House. "Shame on us if we've forgotten. I haven't forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we've forgotten."

The acclaimed children's book series by Sharon Burch teaches music with adventure stories and singalong songs geared toward young elementary school-aged students.
Millions of children in Kindergarten through third grade know Freddie and Eli, the adventurous amphibian and his elephant pal featured in Sharon Burch's Freddie theFrog® music education books. Now, for the first time, Freddie the Frog® comes to the stage in a new interactive musical presented by the acclaimed Niles West High School Theatre Department in Skokie. The show premieres on December 6 at the Robert L. Johnson Auditorium with a free 10 a.m. community show; public performances will be presented on Friday, December 7 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Saturday, December 8 at 2 p.m.
Author and educator Sharon Burch combines children's fantasy with music education to create the popular Freddie the Frog® book and CD sets, with titles such as Freddie the Frog® and the Flying Jazz Kitten, Freddie the Frog® and the Bass Clef Monster, and Freddie the Frog® and the Thump in the Night. Set on the fictional Treble Clef Island, the stories and songs teach children about aspects of music such as notes, rhythm and tempo. With the books already in many Chicago area classrooms, the series was a natural choice to adapt to the stage, and Burch was enthusiastic about writing a stage musical based on her books.
"I was thrilled to receive a request for an onstage adaptation of the first five Freddie the Frog® books," says Burch. "The Director, Andrew Sinclair, and the Niles West High School Theater Department have a reputation of producing top quality shows year after year. It's a pleasure and a privilege to work with such a talented group of theater staff, directors, and students, all passionate about their craft. I'm looking forward to seeing this state-of-the-art group create to bring Freddie the Frog® to life on the stage."
"Working with Sharon to bring Freddie to life on the Niles West stage is a dream for me as a theatre director," says Sinclair. "Great theatre is born from great writing and I know that we are in good hands with Sharon's magical world of Freddie the Frog. It is so great for our students and staff to be able to premiere a stage production and this will be an experience that audiences will want to see."
Niles West High School's Fine Arts program was rated the top program of its kind in the nation in 2007 by The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts/National School Boards Association. In addition to Burch and Sinclair, Freddie the Frog® will be brought to the stage by Arranger/Composer Bryce Inman, Musical Director Mary Jo Papich, Set Designer and Technical Director Steven George, Lighting Designer Charlotte Rathke, and Sound Designer Adam Rosenthal, with original compositions by Grant Wood and Jonathan White. Award-winning Costume Designer Kimberly Morris was brought on board to bring the whimsical characters to life on stage, making Freddie the Frog® both educational and visually exciting.
Niles West High School will invite Chicago-area lower elementary students to a free show on Thursday, December 6 at 10 a.m.; public performances will be presented on Friday, December 7 at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Saturday, December 8 at 2 p.m. $10 – Adults; $7 - Students, Senior Citizens and Children. Sharon Burch will be available for book signings of the original Freddie the Frog® books at the premiere. The Robert L. Johnson Auditorium is located at 5701 Oakton Street in Skokie, Illinois. For ticket information, go to www.nileswesttheatre.com/ticket-information.html or call 847-626-2633.
About Freddie the Frog®
The Freddie the Frog® book series is a national best seller in music education. 4 million K-3 students per year, fall in love with Freddie in their music classrooms across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. Kids learn music through Freddie's interactive storybooks, online games, and his iPad App, "Freddie The Frog®." Now, with the premier production of this onstage production, Chicago-area children and parents will be entertained and learn music through this interactive play with music.

"It (stinks) to be close and not get it," Johnson said. "That's just the way it is. The statement I made about the eight championships is on that big wish list that ... we all have a wish list. The reality of that isn't something that motivates me, and I'm not focused on it or think about that number.
"It was really to give everybody an answer, because everybody would ask me, 'What next?' "
Johnson's demurral aside, Keselowski's victory may represent the sort of changing of the guard that occurred when Jeff Gordon brought Johnson into the sport just over a decade ago.
Gordon was on the way to the 2001 championship, his fourth, when he lobbied car owner Rick Hendrick and sponsor Lowe's to take a chance on Johnson. In the 11 years thereafter, Johnson has collected five titles, Gordon none.
Asked whether his championship might be another watershed transition, Keselowski paused for a moment.
"Whoa, I don't know about that one," he said. "That's a tough question to answer. It'd be a lot easier if I did it again.
"I'm going to work to try to do it again."

At the aforementioned maison du chic (Chanel, bien sur!), Karl Lagerfeld imbued crochet with a dose of sophistication, weaving it into sweetly belled dresses, flower-embellished cardigans, and even handbags in an innocent palette. The end result was a farm-inspired springtime look with just enough verve to appear coy without being saccharine. No less warm-weather appropriate, but with a completely different spin on this nouveau netting, Issey Miyake marched models down the runway in head-to-toe crochet or sheer tops over psychedelic print leggings. Miyake's techno-tribal take was markedly more free-spirited with ensembles that paired tan knits with ikat prints or were doused in neon hues. While we may skip over such festive wear for night, Miyake's laid-back bohemian spirit is ideal for your summertime needs when it comes to beach cover-ups or music-festival wear.
Of course, just because a fabric marches down the runway, even under the guise of the most esteemed designers, doesn't mean it always finds its way into the limelight, but thanks to the lovely ladies pictured today, this knit has received a dose of sartorial wit. Model Alexandra Richards took this look from runway to reality when she opted for a silk and cotton crochet Chanel dress for a Tribeca Film Festival dinner last month. We love how she contrasted this sweet frock with slicked back hair, resulting in a polished cocktail ensemble. Another excellent evening-minded take on this weave comes to us via Julia Restoin Roifeld who donned Mark Fast's Crochet Dress with Flounce Skirt ($1941) to attend the Elle Style Awards in London recently. This sculptural dress rendered crochet surprisingly sexy and seriously wowed us with its midnight hue. In addition to the of-the-moment textile, the navy frock also incorporates a flouncy, skater skirtÂ--another one of our favorite spring trends. Continuing the thread of today's story, blonde beauty and rising screen star Malin Ackerman slipped on this fine knit when she wore Odd Molly's Sumthing Dress ($438) for the March opening of Odd Molly's flagship store in West Hollywood. Ackerman is to be applauded for making crochet feel like the perfect transitional knit; by throwing it over black leggings and some open toe black shoes, it becomes an ideal almost-summer ensemble. Finally, one of our favorite ways to reinvent the spinning wheel with this fun fabric comes via stylesetter Kate Bosworth. Bosworth paired Topshop's Knitted Crochet Dress ($110) with ankle boots and oversized shades at Coachella, for a directional, yet casual daytime look.
As this stylish set has shown us, crochet can be a choice cloth for all occasions. For an evening appropriate dress à la Roitfeld or Richards, be sure to check out Helmut Lang's Crochet-Back Knit Dress ($415), Of Two Minds Crocheted Lace Dress ($366), or Tibi's Scoop Neck Dress ($298), which is also a perfect pick for a daytime shower or luncheon. If you're lusting after something in a smokier hue, like Ackerman's Odd Molly dress, you can pick up the absolutely luxe and amazing Joseph Leather Knit Tunic ($1745) or Mango's Crochet Dress ($69.90) in Rope for a more wallet-friendly option. That said, summery daytime versions worthy of Bosworth's brand of bohemian chic are perhaps the most wearable and abundant. We like Graham & Spencer's Crochet Dress with Slip ($253), Topshop's Knitted Crochet Shoulder Dress ($100), and Forever 21's Crochet Mini Dress ($29.80).Â--Liza Kaplan

By Lora Scripps
High winds and tornadoes not only destroyed the homes and lives of countless Alabamians April 27, 2011, the fury also picked up belongings and memories of those in its path, tossing them in fields and yards throughout neighboring counties and communities.
After the winds died down and recovery was well underway, residents of Limestone County began picking up the pieces and discovered items belonging to others — sometimes 100 miles away — were left mangled in the aftermath.
Travel of debris in tornadoes is common, but it is more unusual for items to be found long distances from the storm, according to John Snow, Regents' professor at the University of Oklahoma. Snow studied the phenomenon of debris transport for three years.
He told The News Courier the majority of debris falls within a mile or two of the storm, but found in a study that a small fraction of debris can travel 100-150 miles. The items that travel long distances are sucked up into the funnel, traveling tens of thousands of feet into the air, before dropping back down to earth.
After the storms residents found pictures and yearbook pages from Phil Campbell — a community 80 miles away.
Utility bills and other items from Smithville, Miss., a town also struck by an EF5 tornado on April 27, were found after traveling more than 128 miles.
Other finds include Wrangler jeans of all sizes with tags still on them that were dropped all areas of the county from the distribution plant in Hackleburg.
A hymnal page for the song "I Fear No Wind" was found with the words "… storms I've braved, I've anchored in Jesus, I fear no wind or wave…"
Pictures, quilts, Bibles, birth certificates and more were uncovered.
Facebook reunites victims with belongings
For almost a year, Patty Bullion of Lester has made it her mission to reunite victims with their memories. She created the Facebook page "Pictures and Documents found after the April 27, 2011 Tornadoes."
The page became a place for people who had found pictures, marriage certificates, army discharge papers and other documents to post what they had found as well as place for victims to reclaim lost items.
The page, which has nearly 98,000 followers, returned more than 2,000 pictures to their owners and, at times, items of those who died were returned to surviving family members.
Bullion plans to leave the site up through today. "I plan to take it down on the one-year anniversary as a sign of hope and recovery," she said.
Remarkable finds
Some items were returned to their owners or family members, such as the birth certificate of John Lynch, who died on April 27 in Hackleburg.
In May 2011, Anne Johnson found the document.
John's Brother, Alvin Lynch of Muscle Shoals, sent an email to The News Courier: "Thank you for the kind article I found it online and have printed out a copy for our family. It's things like this that helps bring closure to this difficult time in our lives I know (John's son) Toney will be pleased to know may will be praying for this family tragedy. After you and I spoke yesterday afternoon I received a call from a neighbor of John's, that his family Bible has been found and it has some papers and pictures in it. I will go down today and pick it up and maybe some papers that Tony still needs might be in the Bible. I know the pictures will be treasured…"
Other items found touched the lives of those who were left to discover them.
Morgan Borden of Athens said she found many pictures and several items after the tornado from Tanner to East Limestone. "The tornado touched down a quarter mile from my house so my family and I are extremely blessed," she said. Morgan said she found one item in particular that was remarkable. "It was a DVD," she said. "I had found many pieces of broken CDs and DVDs, but this one was neither broken or scratched, only dirty. I took it home and cleaned it off. I put it in the DVD player and the words that appeared on the screen were 'Patricia Gentry.'"
She discovered Gentry and her husband had both died in the tornado that touched down in Phil Campbell.
"Once the name appeared I realized that she had died because I remembered seeing the names after I posted an arm patch on the Facebook page 'Pictures and Documents found after April 21, 2011 Tornadoes' and someone told me it may have belonged to Mr. Gentry because he drove a truck for Heilig-Meyers."
Morgan said the DVD contained recordings of Mrs. Gentry singing gospel music. "The only thing I knew of Mrs. Gentry was that she was a beloved school teacher from Phil Campbell," she said. "Hearing and watching that DVD has been such a blessing to me and my family. It still amazes me that the DVD was not broken, and this DVD traveled a good 70 miles."
Morgan said she was struck by the fragility of the DVD. "I honestly feel in my heart that God wanted me to hear it," she said. Through the Facebook page, Morgan was able to return the DVD to Gentry's daughter.
"I also found a pair of new Wrangler jeans that came from the Wrangler plant in Hackleburg," she said.
Other residents were not so lucky in returning items to their owners. A men's black military uniform shirt bearing a Department of Army Guard shoulder patch was discovered on Pepper Road in Limestone County.
The uniform, with a neck size of 17 ½ inches, also bears a patch on each shoulder with three gold chevrons, possibly belonging to a sergeant.
The resident who found the shirt delivered it to The News Courier in hopes of finding the owner.
To claim the shirt, call The News Courier at 256-232-2720, ext. 104.

text: The religious overtones on Mumford & Sons' sophomore album come as no surprise. Though he's now known as the most visible figure in an international folk revival that also includes North Carolina's Avett Brothers and Iceland's Of Monsters and Men, frontman Marcus Mumford first circulated in the scene around the Vineyard, an international network of evangelical Christian churches (Mumford's parents are leaders of the community in the U.K.). So when he notes that "this cup of yours tastes holy," as he does here in "Whispers in the Dark," you figure the guy knows what holiness tastes like.

As the Session of the Church of Reconciliation, we wish to respond to Mr. Ken Weiss's commentary in a recent issue of the Chapel Hill News, wherein he accuses our church of hypocrisy because we have failed to exemplify what he regards as a proper attitude of "compromise" in the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian dispute. He further argues that though we call ourselves the Church of Reconciliation, our position on U.S. military aid to Israel contradicts his notion of what reconciliation is and does.
The Church of Reconciliation is a community of Christian believers and spiritual seekers who have an abiding commitment to justice. We believe that to follow Jesus, however imperfectly, is to practice the kind of love of neighbor, and especially those of our neighbors who have been disempowered and marginalized, to which Jesus dedicated himself.
When our church was founded in the late 1960s, our aim was to try to encourage reconciliation across the racial divides in our community, state and nation. We did not pretend then to have all the answers to the long history of racial division in our community, state and nation. Nor do we pretend to have all the answers to the long history of conflict between the rights of Israelis and the rights of Palestinians equally and mutually to live in peace, security, and freedom.
Fifty years ago Martin Luther King Jr. led marches, demonstrations, boycotts, and other forms of civil disobedience to address a massive power imbalance between whites and blacks in the South. His critics thought he should go slow and be more conciliatory. How could he and his followers bring about what they called "the beloved community" by exacerbating the racial polarization that many blamed the civil rights movement for creating? Where was the spirit of compromise and even-handedness in King's tactics?
Reconciliation is as great a social and spiritual need today as it was a half-century ago. Compromise remains a worthy method of solving problems. But neither can be effected in a situation in which a massive power imbalance exists between two parties asked to reconcile or compromise. The one that has the power has little incentive to compromise or be reconciled. The one suffering from a power deficit has little leverage with which to induce the party that has the power to consider a different course. This state of affairs was true in the American South 50 years ago, and we believe a similar state of affairs exists today in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The call by the Church of Reconciliation to end military aid to Israel represents our asking whether the current inequality of power in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not perpetuated and exacerbated by U.S. military aid to Israel. Would a reconsideration of such military aid from the United States decrease the power imbalance and enhance the likelihood that genuine talks leading to compromise could occur?
Dr. King understood that asking the South or the nation to "imagine peace" between the races or to seek compromise between the empowered whites and the disempowered blacks of the South was unlikely to bring about change in the status quo. Although the South in the 1960s and Israel-Palestine in the 2010s are only partially analogous, we believe that neither compromise nor reconciliation is likely, then or now, unless people of faith on all sides of a complex issue look for ways to break the chains that bind us to status-quo thinking and business-as-usual policy.
Our efforts to question the status quo and to spark new discussion of the Israel-Palestine issue have provoked a great deal of healthy debate and some genuine dialogue in our community, such as the April 2013 interfaith seminar on U.S. military aid and human rights in the Middle East, sponsored by the Abrahamic Initiative on the Middle East, attended by several hundred local citizens. These developments over the past year, we believe, represent steps in the right direction toward reconciliation, peace, and justice for people of good will in Israel and Palestine.
Submitted by Ann Carr Adkins, clerk of the session, on behalf of the 12-member Session of the Church of Reconciliation.

As far as deer cartridges go, the .280 Ackley Improved (AI) is not as well known as the time-honored .30-06, but perhaps it should be. It gives the 7mm Remington Magnum a run for its money, yet burns less powder, recoils less, yields theoretically longer barrel and case life and is generally much nicer to shoot.
The .280 Ackley — named after noted gun writer, gunsmith and wildcatter Parker Otto Ackley (1903-1989) — could be described as a mild-mannered deer cartridge with surprisingly hot performance. In the 1996 edition of Gun Digest, author Rob Lucas compared it to one of the hottest 7mm wildcats of the day, the 7mm STW.
"Ask yourself if 3500 fps (sometimes) with a 140-grain bullet in a necked-down 8mm Remington belted case is all that much better than 3300 fps from the '06-sized 280 Remington Improved,'" he wrote.
Improved Cartridges Explained
Improved cartridges are commonly associated with the wildcat family. They start off as standard numbers — in this case the .280 Remington — and are shot in an improved gun. Pressure fireforms the case to the shape and dimensions of the improved chamber.
P.O. Ackley himself noted that the 280 Remington factory cartridge was a very good round. It was essentially a .30-06 necked down to .284, or 7mm. Based on the 7mm-06 wildcat, some have even argued it to be more versatile than the .270 Winchester.
An improved cartridge gives you a few advantages: You can load the cartridge hotter than its pre-fireformed state for increased velocity.
It minimizes body taper, creating a sharper 40-degree shoulder angle and pushing case capacity closer to its efficient limit.
The increase in case volume allows you to load more propellant for a faster, flatter shooting round, but in some cases with significantly less (5-10%) powder than in a comparable magnum. Thus, there is less recoil.
Ackley did not take kindly to magnums. He viewed them as an exercise in the law of diminishing returns. He understood extra powder in a given bore capacity relative to case capacity negatively impacted case and barrel life. It didn't really help cartridge efficiency.
By contrast, my .280 Ackley is downright pleasant to shoot. Pushing a 140 gr. Spitzer at around 3100 fps, it sends a projectile as flat as you could want in a 7mm deer rifle.
For whitetails, I feed her with Nosler's excellent 140 gr. Accubond, one of the few factory-loaded choices out there in .280 Ackley Improved.
I used it to put down my best rifle-killed buck ever at 175 yards — a rather long poke by central Wisconsin woodland standards.

Ins and Outs of the Forest
Nathaniel Tarn
New Directions ($16.95)
by John Herbert Cunningham
Born in 1928 in Paris, France, Nathaniel Tarn became both a poet and an anthropologist. He brings both of these disciplines to the fore in his new book Ins and Outs of the Forest Rivers, which he says arose out of, and was written during, two months travel in the wild regions of Sarawak, Borneo, East Malaysia, in 2005. Anthropological and archaeological interests were fed by visits to contemporary indigenous settlements and historic sites.
The book is written in five parts: Of the Perfected Angels, Dying Trees, War Stills, Movement / North of the Java Sea, and Sarawak. But before this multi-stage expedition can begin, there is a prefatory poem, a moment of reflection, a meditation on the thing that makes up and encompasses life. Titled Pursuit of the Whole & Parts, this meditation ends:
when whoever owns the machine stands again at the doorsill
and the astonishing beauty of the understanding is detected
and the knowledge that it is always there—however many times
you are at a loss in the world, [at a complete loss in the world],
to be returned to, in that new moment, which is also all the old,
as if this moment were ageless and could always return
with the astounding recurrence of air by the unbounded ocean.
Here we feel the rhythm of the waves lapping at the shore and envision the sunrise and the sunset at the same instant, as well as all that came between.
Of the Perfected Angels initially seems to have nothing to do with Tarns trek, although it may signify the leaving behind of Western civilization. The last poem in this section, Mathis at Issenheim, concerns Tarns response to an altarpiece created by Matthias Grünewald in the 16th century, titled Green Forest, which was
saved over the years
from many wars and revolutions,
hidden, carried away and changing domiciles
time after time for seven centuries,
saved from perdition but not so much discussed,
catalogued only among earths treasures . . .
Tarn condemns war and contrasts it with the enduring nature of art, claiming that the altarpiece
has lifted him little by little,
mens eyes sharpened for vision,
to the highest tree,
in the top branches of the highest tree,
(as lords of patience triumph over loss),
there where the stars are singing, uneclipsable.
This, to Tarn, is the essential nature of Western civilization—the ebb and flow which he recreates through his halting, returning lines between good and evil, between creation and destruction.
We move from Green Forest to Dying Trees—a poem in nine parts, each individually labelled. In the second poem, A Hand, we read:
Skyscrapers had not done it,
not raised it truly over all the land
around, the huge, thirsty expanses dry as
the dustbowl of our present time, choking
the trees. Now theres to be some talk of hands—
one hand especially that has grown old, spotted
and veined in honest work and honest husbandry.
Is this a subtle condemnation of monoculture? And does that condemnation extend to the skyscraper, that symbol of mans progress that has spread like a cancer across the land, literally and figuratively creating a dustbowl?
The final section, Sarawak, consists solely of the long poem Ins and Outs of the Forest Rivers. The tenor of this section is well summarized in the following excerpt:
Trapped in pervading stench of old ideas,
trapped in repetitive paralyzed projects,
trapped by the magistrates who never move
on cases dusty for decades, and by police
who police nothing but the new owners acres
they took from those who grew the land
and are now homeless.
Tarn trashes societys institutions, condemning them for their destruction of the planet and the poor; he sees in them only the upholding of a status quo which bears the motto might is right. It is within the bailiwick of this rant that we find the message that has permeated this entire volume, a message that could be summarized as this place stinks and Im not going to take it anymore. Tarn thus promotes rant to the rank of first-rate poetry, adding his voice to the others that try to bring light and hope to our dark time.
Editors Note: Dying Trees was originally published as a chapbook by Rain Taxi in 2003.

Globe Sports Writer
Phoenix Johnson, essentially, is carrying the ball less for the Webb City High School football team this season but enjoying it just the same.
"I don't compare seasons (statistics)," Johnson said before Tuesday's practice. "The wins are the thing."
Johnson's three-year varsity record, if the Cardinals can beat Jefferson City Helias Catholic on Saturday for the MSHSAA Class 4 championship, will be 45-0. He lost one game as a freshman.
"The loss was to Ozark and I think they blew us out," Johnson said. "Maybe that's why some of us were pulling for Ozark last week (in a Class 5 semifinal)."
Johnson, a 5-foot-8, 185-pound running back/linebacker, understands the decline in carries.
"We have more weapons on offense this season," Johnson said. "I try to do my part."
Cardinal head coach John Roderique agreed with Johnson.
"We haven't had to rely on Phoenix as much," Roderique said. "We've been more balanced. We're throwing the ball more. Cooper (Smith) also has rushed for more than 1,000 yards. We've had less competitive games, too, which has made it difficult at times for the starters."
Now, of course, Johnson's offensive statistics aren't shabby. He's rushed for 1,334 yards and 23 touchdowns on 156 carries. He paces the team in scoring with 162 points (27 TDs)
The numbers through 14 games last season included 31 TDs and 1,728 yards on 194 carries.
Roderique uses the word "incredible" when looking at Johnson's three varsity seasons.
It's unusual, Roderique said, when Johnson doesn't turn in more than one spectacular play during a game.
"He's made plays in those years that no one else on our team could make," Roderique said of Johnson's exploits. "Last week, for example, he carried just six times (for 50 yards). But I remember him catching a pass on the sidelines and diving for the first down.
"I remember Phoenix knocking down a pass (from his outside linebacker position) in a recent game and later I was thinking maybe Nate Brown was our only other player who could have made the play," Roderique said.
"Phoenix has that knack of making the big play when needed," Roderique said. "He's been so important to us in those three years."
Johnson believes the game on Saturday could be the most important one of his Cardinal career.
Webb City will be seeking a first — three championships in a row — for its program. It's after an 11th title overall. The seniors naturally aren't considering a loss.
"It means everything to the team, especially the seniors," Johnson said. "We try to not talk about it. But it means so much to the school, community and our coaches whom all I respect."
Phoenix is the son of Wendy and Gary "Cat" Johnson. Their older son, Maddy, is a redshirt freshman slotback at Missouri State in Springfield.
Said Roderique: "Phoenix probably will be playing some defense on Saturday."
Johnson, who welcomes the thought of more time on the field, and teammates believe they will be ready for the Crusaders. Webb City beat Helias 41-34 in 2008 in a scintillating championship game in the Edward Jones Dome.
"We've been working extra hard this week. It's one of those big games," Johnson said.

10 Reasons Why You Should Attend the 2013 NACC Multicultural Business Expo by Vandell Park
In a staggering economy where there is minimal growth and the uncertainty of potential business prospects, it is easy for those who have invested their life savings, those who borrowed with the hope of making huge financial gains, and even those who are now thinking of launching out for the first time on their own, to become disenchanted and discouraged. The entrepreneurial spirit is dampened because of the bleak prognosis of the American economy. In fact, the political tussle in Washington over basic legislations that will advance the economic cause of this country creates even more financial fear for investors and an uncertain climate for entrepreneurial development... read more

Watching the images flash across her screen as parents in Connecticut were told that 20 of their children had died in a school shooting, Sharon Rash felt the call to do something.
Rash, the Porter Consolidated Schools Family, Careers and Community Leaders of America adviser, and her FCCLA group settled on a fundraiser: They would ask every student, teacher, administrator, business and resident to donate 28 pennies — one penny each for the 27 deaths in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14, 2012. The 28th penny would be for the community, still reeling from the mass shooting.
Rash and her FCCLA group got their school involved. They started a Facebook page — "28 Pennies to Remember," encouraging students and teachers to toss handfuls of coins into five-gallon buckets.
"Some of them wouldn't even count what they were giving," said Anna Green, a sophomore FCCLA officer. "They would just say, 'Oh, this is a good idea,' and toss as much change in there as they could."
The group got businesses involved, too. Chili's in Muskogee put on a fundraiser one night during which patrons who brought in a "28 Pennies to Remember" flier would have 10 percent of their bill donated to the fund. Red Lobster got wind of the promotion and collected money one night as well.
"It was amazing to see what we could accomplish with a Facebook page," said Paloma Chavez, a sophomore FCCLA officer. "It was amazing to see it take off."
The final total isn't yet known, but Rash estimates that the group raised more than $2,000, and money continues to come in. High schools from all over the state took part in the fundraiser, so the total could keep rising.
"It was inspiring that we could step up like that," said Skyler Britt, a freshman FCCLA officer. "It could just keep going too, we could keep doing things like this."
Rash said the page helped inform the community that the FCCLA group was interested in doing charity work.
"We've now gotten involved with a group called Emmy's Heart," Rash said. "They create tutus and crowns for girls and capes for boys who are in the hospital for serious illnesses.
"They've sent us some kits, and we've done some sewing for them."
The current FCCLA officers would like to see this spirit of charity last long beyond their terms.
"It would be great to graduate and come back here one day and see other students still doing things like this," said Danielle Cantu, a senior FCCLA officer. "It would be awesome."

When novelist Bertice Berry set out to write a history of her family, she initially believed she'd uncover a story of slavery and black pain, but the deeper she dug, the more surprises she found. There was heartache, yes, but also something unexpected: hope. Peeling away the layers, Berry came to learn that the history of slavery cannot be quantified in simple, black-and-white terms of "good" and "evil" but is rather a complex tapestry of roles and relations, of choices and individual responsibility.
In this poignant, reflective memoir, Berry skillfully relays the evolution of relations between the races, from slavery to Reconstruction, from the struggles of the Civil Rights movement and the Black Power 1970s, and on to the present day. In doing so, she sheds light on a picture of the past that not only liberates but also unites and evokes the need to forgive and be forgiven.
1. In The Ties That Bind, the author discovers a family story that changes her life. Are their any stories like this in your family? Ask your oldest living relative the following:
a) What was life like for you growing up?
b) What kind of child was my mother/father?
c) What do you know about your grandparents?
2. The author made a serious error in her first novel, Redemption Song, when she named the evil slave owner the same name of the man who owned the plantation her family lived on. What errors or assumptions have you made about your own past, and that of your family, and of this country? Have you ever painted your own past as black or white? How so?
3. In The Ties That Bind, Berry points out that the naming of African Americans was much more deliberate than we have previously assumed. How were you named? Who were you named after and what does your name mean?
4. Do you talk about race relations with people outside your race? What are the conversations like? What do you learn?
5. Slavery has had an impact on all Americans. How has it affected you?
6. John Hunn was the Southern-most conductor on the Underground Railroad. As a white man, he still understood the negative impact that slavery had on him. In today's society, social issues like illiteracy, drug addiction, and poverty also have an indirect impact on all people. How have they affected you and what can you do about it?
7. In The Ties That Bind, Berry talks about the purpose of each individual. How do you define your own purpose? What do you believe you were born to do?
8. The author discusses the role of forgiveness. What do you need to be forgiven for? (If in a group discussion, talk about forgiveness on a more macro level, i.e., race, gender, etc.)
9. Have you ever been present when somebody died? What were their last words? How did you feel? How did you deal with the grief?
10. What lessons did you take from the book?

The Daily Star
---- — A grand opening was still nearly a month away, but you'd have never known it on Thursday, June 30, 1983, as thousands of shoppers from our area crowded the newly opened Southside Mall, either to browse or to spend.
Kmart was one of many stores to open that day, but two others, the Great American food store and Alice's Restaurant, had opened Tuesday, the day the town of Oneonta issued a temporary certificate of occupancy for the property.
"This mall is just what Oneonta needed," said Gloria Mastro as she entered the Kmart. Not everyone agreed, as construction, which had begun the previous August, had been delayed for several years by opponents of the mall who fought the plan in court. Downtown Oneonta merchants said the mall would create unfair competition and force many merchants out of business. In the town's East End, Oneonta's first enclosed mall, the Pyramid Mall, was open but partially vacant.
The mall opening was a bit earlier than planned, as there was still a fair amount of landscaping to be completed. There was no traffic light in use at the entrance, but one was on order. Otsego County Sheriff's deputies were directing traffic as a temporary measure.
"Business is fantastic," said Ron Osborne, Kmart manager. By 1:30 p.m. he estimated that several thousand people had shopped in the store. Lines were long at the checkout aisles.
The other businesses opening that day included an electronic game center called Dream Machine, Bee Gee Records and Tapes, Schatz Stationery, Pants 'n Stuff Shed House, the Snack Shack, Soft Pretzel Factory, Puffs 'n Stuff Bakery, Len and Nancy's Coin Shop and Le Salon, a unisex hair salon. The 190,000-square-foot mall was eventually expected to house nearly 35 stores.
The way was cleared on Thursday, July 14, for the construction of four movie theaters in the mall, each seating 210 to 240 patrons. Construction was planned to begin in the fall. Adjacent to the mall property, a McDonald's restaurant had been approved by the Oneonta Town Planning Board, and a groundbreaking was scheduled that month.
The official grand opening of the Southside Mall took place beginning Wednesday, July 27, and was scheduled to last the next four days. The major store opening was J.C. Penney. This store had previously been located in downtown Oneonta, at the corner of Main Street and Ford Avenue. It had employed 10, but with the move to Southside, the number had increased to 75. Other stores opening that day included Fashion Bug, Walden Books and Kinney Shoes.
"Business has been strong all day," said Ben Preston, manager of J.C. Penney. The businesses that had opened a few weeks earlier said that business had been "better than expected."
Oneonta was introduced to its very first automatic teller machine at the Southside Mall, at the newly opened branch of the Oneonta Federal Savings and Loan. It was known as Metroteller, the first of its kind in about a 60-mile radius of Oneonta.
"Everyone benefits from the automatic teller," explained John Knapp, the bank's vice-president. "The customers can do quicker transactions 51 hours more a week than at one of our branches." Knapp said that about 8,000 area bank customers who have the identification cards would soon have access to hundreds of automatic tellers in the United States.
The Southside Mall was sold in November of 1983 for $14 million, by Oneonta Associates to a Delaware-based company, Oneonta Mall Inc. The sale didn't affect any business. The previous owners continued to operate the mall.

Freeholder Serena DiMaso and former Committeeman Larry Fink were honored in Holmdel last week at the Township Committee reorganization meeting.
DiMaso, formerly a Holmdel committeewoman and mayor, filled a vacant Monmouth County Freeholder seat in 2012 and was officially elected in November. DiMaso was named deputy director of the board at the .
DiMaso was elected as a committeewoman in 2001, and served Holmdel as Mayor from 2006 to 2010. She also served on the Holmdel Planning Board.
"The township employees will miss her delightful desserts and Thanksgiving dinners," Impreveduto said in the official proclamation. "Serena's kindness and generous nature endeared her to residents and employees alike."
Fink, a 12-year veteran of the governing body, former mayor, and the former sole Democrat on the five-member governing body decided not to run for another term last November.
Fink began serving Holmdel Township through the Environmental Commission in 1990 and was elected to the Township Committee in 2000. Fink served as Mayor from 2003 to 2005.
Fink was honored for his years of service in Holmdel Township, as he now uses time for passions such as scouting and land preservation, including Cross Farm.
"The township of Holmdel recognizes and appreciates the efforts and dedication of Larry and his significant contributions to preserve the rural beauty of our town," Impreveduto said.

This story ran previously on the eve of the Blizzard of 2013, when everything got a little frenetic and the power went out for a couple of days. You might have missed it so we repeat it here.
You have gently used sporting goods cluttering up your garage or basement, don't you? Here's your chance to get rid of it.
Donate the gear to Barrington's Hampden Meadows Elementary School. The PTO is gathering used sporting goods and equipment for it annual HMS Used Sporting Goods Sale.
The sale runs this year on Saturday, March 16 from 9 am to 2 pm in the school cafeteria.
"This used equipment sale is a great opportunity for people to clean out their basements and garages of all their outgrown sporting equipment," said Liz Tomulonis, a co-chair of the event. "It's also a perfect opportunity for families to pick up some gently used items at great prices."
"Best of all," she said, "Hampden Meadows School benefits by receiving the proceeds from this fundraiser. It's really a win-win for everyone involved."
The PTO will be happy to pick up the gear if it isn't convenient for you to drop it off. Call the school office at 247-3166 to arrange a pick-up.
An extensive assortment of sporting goods is available for purchase each year. There is always a selection of equipment available for the more popular team sports -- everything you might need for baseball, lacrosse, soccer, football, basketball, and field and ice hockey.
The sale always includes a selection of other items — such as bicycles in all sizes, skateboards, golf clubs, fishing equipment, tennis racquets, ice skates, exercise equipment, goals, ski gear, sleds and even jogging strollers. And at rock-bottom prices.
There have been hundreds of cleats and ice skates in all sizes priced at $5 or less. Some bikes have sold for as low as $10. A complete set of quality golf clubs sold for $15 two years ago.
Did we say used sporting goods? Some items donated often are brand new with the price tags still attached.

Here are rates for other order amounts and shipping methods:
When will my order arrive?After adding items to your shopping cart, you will able to choose from two shipping options: standard (5-7 business days) and expedited (3-5 business days). Next to each option is a delivery estimate date window, which will calculate dates including "business days" and determine when most shipments will arrive.
How are estimated delivery dates calculated?
What are considered business days? Business days include Monday–Friday and exclude holidays. Holidays in 2014 include: May 26, July 4, September 1, November 27, November 28, December 25, and December 26.
When will I receive my tracking number?Tracking numbers are sent to you in an email about 24-48 hours after your order ships. This delay allows the shipment to be processed by the shipment carrier's website. Your order should still arrive within the original estimated window.
The email will arrive with the subject, "Your BISSELL shipping confirmation". You can also visit the View Your Order page anytime to find the latest status of your order, including its tracking number once it has shipped.
