|Another great day in pacific city
Anyone recommend a shop in Salem for alignments? Working on the death wobble. Have replaced and changed some things but really need to get it aligned.
Thank you in advance!
|I have a Rock Hard swing away with dual can carrier and I love it. It is rattle free. It is hard to install and you should get the frame tie ins to support the weight of options. If you do hard core wheelin you may bump the spare tire because its spaced out at the bottom for the high lift jack
Ive been thinking for buying a rear bumper with a tire carrier. Below is a question asked of me from another member?
I want to get a new rear bumper& tire carrier for my TJ. I bought a Smitty Built Mk1 and it destroyed itself in 6 months. I have heard some people like the XRC because the height of the tire can be adjusted quite a bit etc... Any recommendations?
Who has what for a rear bumper/tire carrier, or who has what for a tire carrier? Pross/Cons and likes/dislikes? Would you buy again or buy a different model?

|Sweet! We are headed there tomorrow! Did you go to Sand Lake? Wondering what the conditions are.
|What a great weekend at the coast! Shots from Pacific City.
|LOL, I used the nitrile one to put grease on the splines and where the axle seal rides.
|Hey.. your gloves don't match! :lol: Great news you're all fixed up again though.

|Air down if you don't have chains. 15 psi, IMO is not airing down. I have taken my 33x10.5 down to 8 psi, when wheeling in deep snow.
Winter Driving Tips
Winter Driving Tips for On- and Off-Highway by Bill Burke
On-Highway Winter Driving
My home state of Colorado was hit with a massive snow storm that literally shut down the roads from the borders in (November 1997)! DIA couldnt get any planes off the ground and people couldnt get out of their driveways to catch their flights! Even my dogs couldnt get out of our driveway! The Colorado Association of 4WD clubs had to mobilize FEAT, the 4WD emergency assistance team to help shuttle essential service personnel like police, nurses and doctors, city managers and help deliver food and medical supplies to those that were in need. Properly equipped and experienced 4-wheelers certainly helped keep the city moving!
It was the other type of 4-wheelers that hindered and clogged the roadways. You know, the new sport utilities, purchased without training the drivers who had the false impression that 4WD is a panacea for go anywhere ability. Theywho sped down the dangerous, slippery roadsthought that the go anywhere vehicles, indeed, could. Except they ended up in the ditches and guard rails of the highways and, not understanding why, abandoned their now useless steeds and sought refuge in front of the fireplace at home until the tow truck delivered their rig safely to the garage.
Lets talk about this phenomenon of using 4WD ON the highway! Since at least half the country sees some type of snow or ice on the pavement at least half the year, at sometime, somewhere, there are people using 4WD on the highway.
REMEMBER that 4WD is not really 4WD. It is only 2WD.
In theory, and using computer models developed by engineers, the 4WD drivetrain is 4WD. All four tires get some amount of torsional relationship via the drivetrain. In reality, it is only two tires (when the transfer case is in 4WD mode) getting the full benefit of power application from the engine. Im not here to start a debate about how much torque goes to which tire, but to shed some light about traction conditions when driving what a majority of people think is really 4-wheel drive!
When in 4WD mode on the snowy, icy highways, the vehicle can stop no better than before. The increased traction and forward control (to a degree anyway) is actually reduced by the lack of stopping power due to road conditions. Driving like we have all the traction in the world only gets us in the ditch, upside down, in the guard rail, under a trailer rig and usually in a lot of trouble!
Sitting up high should offer us better reaction time than the average Honda Accord. Instead it gives us a false sense of control and we push that reaction time and the rules of spacing for X miles per hour and the 2 second rule for distance and brake reaction time to the point that we end up running over the little Geo Metro that somehow we forgot was right in front of us. Because we have that commanding view of the road ahead and can see the goings on way ahead, it means we have a chance to prove we are attentive, aware and capable drivers.
The boon of ABS brakes has helped save many people from disastrous consequences. Some of the old school drivers have a hard time relating to the new style of braking. If you have ABS brakes, read the owners manual about how to use them properly. Some vehicles have only rear wheel ABS some have all wheel ABS. Generally, if you have ABS and need to stop quickly, hit the brake pedal and hold your foot down (feeling the weird pulses is normal) until the vehicle is stopped or you gain control of the situation. In the old days, we were taught to feather, pump, lightly drag the brakes when in a panic stop situation. This is still true if you do not have ABS. Practice panic stops if you have ABS. Get used to the way the brake pedal feels when pulsing. In the winter time, go to a snowy and icy vacant parking lot and practice skid control. Learn to turn into the skid. Learn how much pressure to use on the brakes. Learn how to use the ABS when controlling the skid. It takes practice to be able to handle on-highway avoidance techniques when they count. Watch out for parking buttons and sewer covers in the vacant lots!
If you are going to shift the transfer case into 4WD mode on the pavement, make sure you have some slippage. Yes, the tires must be able to slip sometimes. If you do not get slippage, you will get what is called wind-up. Wind-up is the condition where the front end drivetrain pushes against the rear end drivetrain right about in the middle, or the transfer case. The gear train in the transfer case gets bound up and can cause the rig to come to a stop like someone was holding the vehicle back with a tow rope. Worst case is the transfer case could break or you could twist a drive shaft. Usually, though, the rig will start to slow down for no apparent cause. The remedy is to shift into reverse and back up for a short distance (safely) and un-wind the gear case then shift out of 4WD mode.
Some vehicles offer full-time 4WD. They will usually have a viscous coupling in the transfer case that allows some slipping of the drive train when on dry pavement. This system allows for one (1) tire to look for traction. You can literally feel the vehicle searching for traction at one of the tires. It is a kind of a surge effect that rotates from wheel to wheel.
With part-time 4WD, you will have to shift into 4WD mode to have the advantage of the front axle traction. Some vehicles will allow the shift on the fly move, at speeds up to 50 mph. Be careful doing this, as the sudden gain in traction and the sudden torsional force to the front axle could cause a slide or spin losing control.
Tires are another mitigating factor in traction on wintry pavement. Research has proven that specific tires like the Blizzak are better in snow and ice conditions than studded snow tires. I like using the BF Goodrich Radial All-Terrain tires in snow conditions. They have a lot of siping and offer very good control.
Studs in tires are a good idea, but must be used carefully. Although forward traction is usually good, if in a slide, the steel will allow for less resistance to stopping than bare rubber. Also when starting out, the tires with studs are more likely to spin, causing lost traction. Lots of siping is the key to good snow tires. Tire chains are, of course, the ultimate traction device for snow and ice. They require time to put on and take off and cant be driven over 30MPH.
Driving on snow and ice covered roads is different than wheeling on the trail. Heading up to the slopes for a weekend of skiing or over the bridges to grandmothers house for turkey does take a certain amount of caution and driving finesse. When on the highway, pay attention to traffic patterns ahead, anticipate road conditions, have your rig properly equipped for winter travel with good snow tires, emergency supplies, and tire chains.
Off-Highway Winter Driving
I talked about snow chain use in my last article. I have been on snow and ice covered trails with the BFG Mud T/As on my rig and have had a stock Discovery do much better with the BFG A/Ts than my lockers and all the mods I have. That is when I put the chains on. Why mess around?
When driving off-highway in the snow and ice, use common sense. Deep powder can and does hide stumps, rocks, logs and icy patches. Early season snow usually is easier to push through than late season stuff. That is because the late season snow has built from additional snowstorms. It has a hard layer in between the soft snow and presents problems due to this hard layer.
Sometimes its easier to drive across the deep snow with high flotation tires. Ive seen very low geared rigs with big fat tires float across 20 foot drifts only to have a less experienced driver chew the drift up with chains. That makes it hard to come back over for the others. Sometimes it is best to do the snow trips past midnight when the snow has a chance to freeze or set up. You can drive over the snow more easily. Just remember how deep it really is when youre in the middle of a 15 foot drift that spans across a 200 meter ridge. Believe me, its no fun digging a rig out of 15 feet of snow for 200 meters when youre in jeans and sneakers! Try to stay on top if thats where you started. Chains are great for the snow that is usually up to 3 feet deep. Of course, it depends on if its fresh powder and how hard the bottom is.
Be aware of snow packing under the rig. It can literally freeze your engine solid, even if it is running. Snow bashing is hard on the rig. Slow speeds, snow clogged radiator and packed snow around the engine will ruin a tough truck in a minute. Make sure the engine area is cleared out often and pay attention to the transmission/transfer case oil temperatures as well as the diff oil temp. Watch for chunks of ice and hard snow getting caught under the rig and severing brake lines. In creek crossings, watch for ice flow and frozen brakes. Keep the engine running as much as possible when snow 4-wheeling. I have seen a distributor crack due to moisture build-up and freezing when the engine was turned off. Wet fan belts and wet brakes can freeze and will cause damage.
The lead vehicle should swap off often with others in the convoy as breaking trail is hard on the rig and driver. Plus the others behind get bored watching the leader smash forward then back up, etc. Let them have some fun also.
I sometimes drive forward slowly and set a path, then back up. Drive forward some more, then back. Kind of like two steps forward one back type of thing. If you have chains, you may just want to let them churn slowly with slow, steady progress forward.
If youre going to run chains, keep the tires inflated to normal highway pressure. DO NOT air down with chains.
When running chains and you encounter rocks, ledges, etc., BE CAREFUL, the chains will slip easily on the rocks, especially on downhill descents. You will have very little control on solid rock faces with chains. Anticipate this! With chains on, youll also up the damage potential if not paying attention for roots, stumps, etc. The chains can catch if they are loose and cause a broken hub or axle.
On off-camber trails, I will keep the lockers off, drive very slowly and let the tires get traction.
You may slip off to the side and the hard snow will prevent you from getting back in alignment. I will usually back up and then get out and stomp a channel so my tires can stay on the trail and not follow the ruts I dug previously with the tires in the deep snow.
Be extra aware of the center of steering. The wheels can get full turn easily and they will fight you for control. Keep slow and steady, with the wheels getting traction aimed straight ahead.
For both on and off-highway winter driving, having your rig properly
tuned and winterized is important:
Check the antifreeze flush and refill to manufacturers specs.
Inspect the hoses replace if squishy.
Look at the belts replace if they are cracked or glazed over.
Tune the engine check the wires, distributor cap, coil output.
Change to winter weight oil according to manufacturers specs.
Check or change gear oils and other drivetrain reservoirs.
The moisture built up over the past summer from the mudbogs
and water crossings can freeze in the differentials.
Check the tire pressures is the spare tire up to snuff?
How about the wheel bearings, brakes, power steering, air filter,
fuel filter, heater controls, door hinges and locks, wiper blades
and washer fluid.
Inspect the exhaust system for holes and leaks remember that cold weather means closed windows and a leaky exhaust system can put
you into a deep sleep!
Put together an emergency kit in a duffle bag or small container that consists of: road flares, wool blanket or two, jumper cables, energy snacks, small cook stove and some soup packets (if you dont have water, you can melt snow), small cook pot, thick socks, hat, mittens, medications, tire chains, snow shovel, candle, lighter and matches, flashlight and radio with good batteries, a good book and whatever other personal items you deem necessary.
Easy Tire Chains & Helpful Hints
Get a GRIP in the Snow: Easy Tire Chains & Some Helpful Hints! by Bill Burke
Snow 4-wheeling is great, chilling fun, and coldly challenging. In the wintry Colorado back country (and many other parts of the world) where the first snow usually falls in October, then stays til late June, early July, where sometimes high mountain passes like Pearl Pass and Webster Pass stay closed til mid-September, it can be finger-numbing and downright dangerous.
Weve all seen the TV commercials for the winter sales of the fancy new 4WD bounding across snow fields, blasting fresh powder all over the camera! It looks like such fun! One problem with this scenario is that you have to watch out for tree stumps and rocks hidden by the deep, fresh powder. Blast across some meadows and your tire could get shoved under your rig, bending the rim and flattening the tire. OUCH!
Be careful when the momentum factor carries you away. Too fast, and the rig will slide off the trail. The ice under the snow will ensure that. You can be clipping down a trail in deep powder, come into a turn, try to negotiate the turn and the rig continues straight. Here is where tire chains come in handy. This article is going to talk about what I feel are some of the most important pieces of equipment to help get you and your rig ready for the winter trail, tire chains in general, and the GRIP 4X4 chains specifically.
In 1996, I attended the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show in Las Vegas and looked at the various types of tire chains offered by different manufacturers. After seeing many diverse types of chain construction, I decided that the style of the GRIP 4X4 by RUD-Chain, Inc. seemed to be the most efficient for installation. One of the most important features I was looking for was that, in a sticky situation, they needed to be quick and easy to install. RUD provided me with chains for both my Defender 90 and my Range Rover to test for my purposes.
I usually use chains whenever I do any back country driving in the snow4 tires, 4 chains. Ive even written articles in the past on how to install tire chains, when to use them, and how to keep them from twisting up. But, now Ive found a much better way!
The GRIP 4X4 chains are the easiest Ive ever put on! They have a plastic encased steel cable on the inside of the tire that helps locate the cross bar links, and helps keep the chain from hitting the springs or radius rod when turning the front wheels. They also have chain links that connect the cross bar links. This would be considered a modified diamond pattern. These run parallel with the tire and help keep the vehicle from sliding sideways like standard ladder style chains.
Although it is a good idea to roll down the road about 50 feet and make sure the chains are properly tensioned, in a tight spot like I had on the trail they worked just fine without doing this.
Its as simple as sliding the chain behind the tire, bringing the inner cable connector up to the top and making the connection for the inner link, then connecting the outer link, straightening the chain on the tire, pulling the tensioning chain through the locking mechanism, pulling tight, then hooking it to an appropriate link to keep the chain tensioned.
I was in my Range Rover and a little abusive to the chains during an excursion up Left Hand Canyon in Boulder, Colorado on a very snowy and cold Saturday in January. It was quite miserable weather, prime conditions and a great trail to test a set of chainsthey worked really well on the open-diff Range Rover. Sometimes running open-diffs in snow and ice conditions is better than using lockers, as lockers tend to slide you sideways. Although, with the GRIP 4X4′s design, side slip is minimized. Another feature I like is the GRIP 4X4′s are reversible, so the chains last longer, unlike standard ladder-type chains that cannot be reversed.
Chains can also be used for worn or non-aggressive tread tires when the trail turns to mud or loose rock. They can make your rig into a little tractor! If you can only afford one set, and youre going to be in 4WD on a trail, I recommend putting them on the front axle since you have steering, braking, and traction. However, be careful on long descents since youre getting such good traction with the front end, and the rear is not chained, it may swing around on you. So it might be better for those descents to chain up the rear. Thats why I like RUD chains because they are so easy to move around.
Other suggestions for using chains include:
1. Use caution with spinning the tires, as the chains may catch on unseen stumps, rocks, and roots, and you could brake an axle or a hub.
2. Check the trail ahead in deep snow for hidden obstacles.
3. Inspect chains before and after each outing. Look for worn links and stretched connectors.
4. Spray chains with some WD40 after each use. Make sure the chains dont rust. Dont leave them in a pile!
5. Be careful when steering with the front end articulated. Keep the chains from contacting vehicle components.
6. Remember, chains will allow you to dig to the trail through deep snow and ice. Watch for high-centering in those conditions. Sometimes, through very deep, hard-packed snow, I have used soft, high flotation tires to go across the top of deep drifts in lieu of chains. Then Ive aired up to put the chains back on.
7. Do not use bare hands on cold, icy chains. Use heavy-duty neoprene/rubber gloves or good leather work gloves to put chains on.
8. Drive very slow and deliberate with chains on to gain proper traction and control on the icy trail.
9. Occasionally, Ill use higher RPMs in lower gears to keep the chains churning. This breaks the ice in hard-pack snow so the vehicle can gain traction on the trail.
Whether you use your rig to navigate wintry streets to get groceries and the kids to school, or winch to that great ice fishing spot, you need to be prepared for any incident. Winter is nothing to be trifled with. Have the proper equipment and a plan on how to use it, if necessary. You can have all the gear in the world, but its no good if you dont know how to use it and you dont have a plan! Get proper training in vehicle operation. Take some emergency training through your local Red Cross office. Be aware of your limitations and those of your vehicle.
No matter what kind of rig you own, from stock showroom vehicle to the most radical of off-road machines, you must always check it out before heading to the hills. You can prepare a checklist to be sure you have seasonal items that maybe wouldnt make it into your kit other times of the year. I built a shelf in my garage to hold the off-season items. That way, it goes in the vehicle and when Im done, it goes right back on the shelf in its place. I think it was Confucius who said: A place for everything and everything in its place, or maybe it was my drill sergeant.
It sure is a winter wonderland out there quiet, peaceful and scenic. The best part about winter 4-wheeling is the lack of bugs and people competing for campsites! Be prepared, stay safe, and dont be a stick-in-the-mud (or snow)!
DUE TO THE UPCOMING WINTER STORM, WE HAVE CANCELED THIS MONTHS MEET-n-GREET.
After watching the weather reports of the Upcoming Winter Storm, we have deiced for the safety of all of our members to cancel this meeting.
The Meet-n-Greet for March 9th, 2014 will be at the same time and place.

I have diabetic neurophy and I have tried everything to get relief. I know the directions say if you have diabetes not to use it but I was desperate for relief. I feel like I died and went to heaven all the creams and pills in the world don't feel as good as having my feet massaged. I wear socks and just use the heat for a short time. It does not get hot enough to burn. It is just a good warm feeling. However I would not recommend using the heat for more then a minute or two. There are days when I cann't even touch my feet and the massage just makes the pain go away. I hope the person who invented this wonderful machine was rewarded well. I do believe a home run was hit here! I also use it before bed to relax my feet and find that I am tossing and turning no more because for a time the pain is gone and I just fall off to sleep after having my feet massaged. Wow!!! I don't know what else to say. Oh I know, I also find myself walking better since the pain is reduced.

Finland, NATO's relations with -
NATO's relations with Finland NATO's relations with Finland are conducted through the Partnership for Peace framework, which Finland joined in 1994. NATO and Finland actively cooperate on peace and security operations and have developed practical cooperation in many other areas, including education and training and the development of military capabilities. Finnish cooperation with NATO is based on its longstanding policy of military non-alignment and a firm national political consensus. From this basis, Finland selects areas of cooperation with NATO that match joint objectives. The country monitors developments within NATO and continues to entertain the possibility of applying for membership of the Alliance in the future. NATO highly values its relations with Finland – an effective and pro-active partner and contributor to international security, which shares key values such as the promotion of international security, democracy and human rights. An important area of cooperation is the country's support for NATO-led operations. Finland currently works alongside the Allies in security and peacekeeping operations Kosovo and Afghanistan, and has also indicated its willingness to participate in the post-2014 follow-on mission to train and assist Afghan security forces. Framework for cooperation An Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme (IPCP), which is jointly agreed for a two-year period, lays out the programme of cooperation between Finland and NATO. Key areas include security and peacekeeping cooperation, crisis management and civil emergency planning. An important objective in Finland's participation in the Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme is to develop and enhance interoperability between NATO and partner forces through a variety of PfP instruments and mechanisms. Key areas of cooperation Security cooperation Since 2002, Finnish soldiers have been working alongside Allied forces as part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. Currently, some 136 Finnish personnel are deployed in the country, primarily with a Provincial Reconstruction Team in the north of the country. The focus of the Finnish contribution is gradually shifting towards training and capacity-building of Afghan security forces. Since 2007, Finland has contributed 1.7 million euro to the Afghan National Army Trust Fund. Finland also contributes to a project conducted under the NATO-Russia Council aimed at training counternarcotics personnel from Afghanistan and other Central Asian partner countries. Finnish forces have also played significant roles in securing peace in the former Yugoslavia. Some 22 soldiers are now operating with the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR). In the past, Finland contributed a battalion to the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Finland started participating in the NATO Response Force (NRF) in 2012. Specific participation or involvement in any particular NRF operation would require a sovereign decision by Finland. Finland's role in training the forces of partner countries, particularly in peacekeeping, is greatly valued by the Allies. In July 2001, NATO formally recognized the Finnish International Centre in Ninisalo as a PfP Training Centre. Finland also regularly participates in NATO and PfP exercises. Recent examples include the March 2011 Baltic Region Training Event, conducted by NATO Air Command Ramstein, which aimed to enhance interoperability and build capabilities in the Baltic states; the November 2012 Exercise Steadfast Juncture, a command post exercise which took place at the Amari Air Base, Estonia, focused on the command and control of a fictitious NATO-led crisis response operation involving the NRF; and the November 2012 Cyber Coalition exercise, a procedural exercise designed to give participants a better understanding of cyber defence capabilities and to identify areas for improvement. Among other forces, Finland has declared one mechanized infantry battalion group and one combat engineer unit, a coastal mine hunter and a small number of fixed wing aircraft as potentially available for exercises and operations. Finland plays an active part in a number of multinational projects for the development of capabilities. It has joined the Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) programme, participating along with Sweden and ten NATO Allies in the operation of three C-17 transport aircraft based in Hungary. Continuation of a related initiative, the Strategic Airlift Interim Solution (SALIS), which leases Russian and Ukrainian Antonov transport aircraft,beyond 2012 is being evaluated. The country is also working with Nordic NATO Allies and partners on the establishment of a joint multinational headquarters in Germany, a harbor protection system and a deployable system for the surveillance of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents. Finland is a member of the Movement Coordination Center Europe (MCCE) and is participating in the Air Transport and Air Refueling Exchange System (ATARES), as well as the Air Situation Data Exchange (ASDE). Finland is also participating in the NATO-Russia Council's Cooperative Airspace Initiative, which is aimed at preventing terrorists from using aircraft to launch attacks similar to those of 9/11. Finland's close ties with its neighbours Norway, Denmark and Sweden have resulted in Nordic Defence Cooperation (NORDEFCO), a further practical and efficient way for like-minded states to contribute to regional and international security. In Finland's case, this activity is pursued alongside the Nordic Battle Group. Defence and security sector reform Finland has participated in the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP) since 1995, which – along with participating in the Operational Capabilities Concept – influences Finnish planning and activities. Cooperation in these frameworks is aimed at enhancing Finland's ability to take part in peace-support operations, as well as allowing Allies and other partners to benefit from Finnish expertise. Finland has developed a new military crisis-management concept as the basis for a revised national pool of forces for crisis-management operations. All of these forces should be evaluated under Operational Capability Concept Evaluation and Feedback programme by the end of 2016. Finland is contributing to the development of the EU Battle Group concept. It is cooperating with Estonia, Sweden and Norway, among other countries, in the development of a multinational rapid reaction force for EU-led peace-support operations. Alongside NATO Allies, Finland contributes to NATO's programme of support for security-sector reform in the western Balkans, southern Caucasus and Central Asia. It currently contributes to a number of Partnership Trust Fund projects in other partner countries, including a project for the repacking, centralizing and destruction of chemicals in Moldova; the conduct of an Explosive Remnants of War Survey, providing detection equipment, building an ammunition destruction facility and propellant-surveillance laboratory in Jordan; and a retraining and resettlement programme for departing servicemen in Ukraine. In the past, Finland has contributed to six completed Trust Fund projects in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and Serbia. Civil emergency planning Civil emergency planning is a major area of bilateral cooperation. The aim is for Finland to be able to cooperate with NATO Allies in providing mutual support in dealing with the consequences of a major accident or disaster in the EAPC area. This could include dealing with the consequences of incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear agents, as well as humanitarian disaster relief operations. In line with this, Finnish civil resources have been listed with the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre (EADRCC). Finland has also provided valuable civil emergency training to Allies and partners. Science and environment Under the Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme, scientists from Finland have participated in numerous advanced research workshops and seminars on a range of topics. Topics have included border security and the fight against terrorism, environmental security in harbours and coastal areas, and bioremediation of contaminated soils. Public information In every partner country an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Finland is the embassy of Denmark. Milestones in relations 1994 Finland joins the Partnership for Peace. 1995 Finland joins the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP). 1996 Finland contributes forces to the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 1997 Finland joins the newly created Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council. 1999 Finnish forces participate in the NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo, KFOR. 2001 The Finnish International Centre in Ninisalo becomes a PfP training centre. 2002 Finnish forces begin their contribution to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. 2005 Finland hosts a PfP defence policy and strategy conference. 2006 The mine layer Pohjanmaa passed NATO maritime evaluation (MAREVAL) during Exercise BRILLIANT MARINER 2006. 2008 Finland hosts the June 2008 UUSIMAA Civil Crisis Management Exercise.

Finland co-hosts "NATO's New Strategic Concept – Comprehensive Approach to Crisis Management" with Sweden in Helsinki. 2011 Following the signature of an agreement in October, senior Finnish officials visit the NATO C3 Agency in November to discuss the details of a multi-year programme of work for cooperation on advanced technology. The five-year programme of work will address areas such as force support, battlespace awareness, force application, logistics, command and control, net-centric warfare and protection. 2012 In March, Finnish fighter jets take part in a NATO exercise over the Baltic region aimed at practicing air policing skills. In November, Finland takes part in Exercise Steadfast Juncture, a command post exercise organized at the Amari Air Base, Estonia, focused on the command and control of a fictitious crisis response operation involving the NATO Response Force; and the Cyber Coalition procedural exercise, focused on cyber defence capabilities. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen visits the capital Helsinki on 15 November to discuss how to further strengthen cooperation.
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹, NATO's relations with the
NATO's relations with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ joined NATO's Partnership for Peace in 1995. Cooperation takes place in a range of areas, with a particular emphasis on defence and security sector reform, as well as support for wider democratic and institutional reform. The country aspires to become a member of the Alliance and joined the Membership Action Plan in 1999. The Allies are committed to keeping NATO's door open to Western Balkan partners that wish to join the Alliance, share its values and are willing and able to assume the responsibilities and obligations of membership. Euro-Atlantic integration is seen as the best way to ensure long-term, self-sustaining security and stability in the region. The Membership Action Plan (MAP) is a NATO programme of advice, assistance and practical support tailored to the individual needs of countries wishing to join the Alliance. Participation in the MAP does not prejudge any decision by the Alliance on future membership. At the April 2008 Bucharest Summit, Allies recognised the hard work and commitment demonstrated by the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ to NATO values and Alliance operations. They agreed that an invitation to join the Alliance will be extended to the country as soon as a mutually acceptable solution to the issue over its name has been reached with Greece. "I sincerely hope there will be a new focus on the future, rather than the distant past," said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in a speech about the Western Balkans in June 2011, delivered shortly after parliamentary elections in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ . "New momentum in implementing the reforms that are needed. But also new momentum in fostering the political and public support to successfully resolve the name issue. And to join the Alliance." Beyond the key focus on reform, another important area of cooperation is the country's support for NATO-led operations. For many years, it has been providing valuable host nation support to troops of the Kosovo Force (KFOR) transiting the country. It also contributes to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and has indicated its willingness to participate in the post-2014 follow-on mission to train and assist Afghan security forces, after ISAF's mission has ended. Framework for cooperation In the MAP framework, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ sets out its reform plans and timelines in its Annual National Programme (ANP). Key areas include political, military and security sector reforms. Important priorities are efforts to meet democratic standards and ensure free and fair elections, as well as support for reducing corruption and fighting organised crime, judicial reform, improving public administration and promoting good neighbourly relations. NATO Allies provide feedback on the envisaged reforms and evaluate their implementation. More specific and technical reforms in the defence area are developed through the Partnership for Peace Planning and Review Process (PARP), which the country joined in 1999. The role of the PARP is to provide a structured basis for identifying forces and capabilities that could be available to the Alliance for multinational training, exercises and operations. It also serves as the principal mechanism used to guide and measure defence and military reform progress. A biennial process, the PARP is open to all partners on a voluntary basis but is required of all partners participating in the MAP. The NATO Liaison Office, Skopje, plays a role in assisting the implementation of the defence reform plans, including through its NATO Advisory Team, which is located within the country's defence ministry. The country also cooperates with NATO and other partners in a wide range of other areas through the Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). Key areas of cooperation Security cooperation The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ was a key partner in supporting NATO-led stabilisation operations in Kosovo in 1999 and NATO forces were deployed to the country to halt the spread of the conflict as well as to provide logistical support to the Kosovo Force (KFOR). The Allies also provided humanitarian assistance as refugees from Kosovo fled into the country. The country continues to provide valuable host nation support to KFOR troops transiting its territory. NATO came to the assistance of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ , when violence between ethnic Albanian insurgents and security forces broke out in the west of the country in February 2001. The insurgents had taken control of a number of towns near the border with Kosovo, bringing the country to the brink of a civil war. NATO facilitated the negotiation of a ceasefire in June of that same year, which paved the way for a political settlement – the Ohrid Framework Agreement – in August 2001. In support of the settlement, NATO deployed a task force, "Essential Harvest", to collect weapons handed over by the insurgents, as they prepared to disband. The NATO-led international monitoring mission continued to operate in support of the implementation of the Ohrid Agreement until 31 March 2003, when the European Union assumed the lead. A key objective of cooperation is to develop the ability of the country's armed forces to work alongside Allied forces in peace-support and crisis management operations. Participation in the PARP has provided a framework for cooperation in this area. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ has been supporting the ISAF in Afghanistan since 2002. As of July 2013, over 150 troops were deployed there. The country has also indicated its willingness to participate in the post-2014 NATO-led mission to train, advise and assist the Afghan forces, which will be deployed once the transition to Afghan security lead has been completed and ISAF's operation is terminated. Cooperation in the fight against terrorism takes place in the framework of the Partnership Action Plan on Terrorism. This includes sharing intelligence and analysis with NATO, enhancing national counter-terrorist capabilities and improving border security. In consultation with the Allies, the country has taken steps to establish competent bodies and services to deal with contemporary forms of terrorism. Defence and security sector reform NATO is supportive of the wide-ranging and ongoing reform process underway in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ . In the areas of defence and security sector reform, NATO and individual Allies have considerable expertise that the country can draw upon. In consultation with the Allies, the country continues to implement a wide range of reforms in line with its Strategic Defence Review. The country's participation in the PARP has facilitated cooperation in the area of defence reform. The Allies have assisted in the development of a transformation plan for the country's armed forces. The plan includes detailed programmes covering logistics, personnel, equipment, training and a timetable for the restructuring of key military units. Other key objectives include improving ethnic minority representation in civil/military defence structures and judicial and police reform. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ joined the Operational Capabilities Concept (OCC) in 2005. The OCC is a mechanism through which units available for PfP operations can be evaluated and better integrated with NATO forces to increase operational effectiveness. The country is also working with NATO to promote the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, which recognises the disproportionate impact that war and conflicts have on women and children. UNSCR 1325 calls for full and equal participation of women at all levels in issues ranging from early conflict prevention to post-conflict reconstruction, peace and security. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ is also working to strengthen good governance in the defence and security sector through participation in the Building Integrity programme. This programme seeks to raise awareness, promote good practice and provide practical tools to help nations enhance integrity and reduce risks of corruption in the security sector by strengthening transparency and accountability. Training is an important part of security cooperation with the country and its personnel regularly participate in activities organised under the PfP programme. Moreover, the country's Public Affairs Regional Centre in Skopje was recognised as a Partnership Training and Education Centre in 2013, opening its activities to Allies and partners. Civil emergency planning The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ is enhancing its national civil emergency and disaster-management capabilities in cooperation with NATO and through participation in activities organised by the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Coordination Centre. In consultation with NATO, a national crisis-management system has been established to ensure that the structures in place serve effectively and efficiently in the case of a national crisis. Science and environment The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ has been actively engaged within the framework of the NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme since 1998. The SPS Programme enables close collaboration on issues of common interest to enhance the security of NATO and partner nations. By facilitating international efforts, in particular with a regional focus, the Programme seeks to address emerging security challenges, support NATO-led operations and advance early warning and forecast for the prevention of disasters and crises. Today, scientists and experts from the country are working to address a wide range of security issues, notably in the fields of cyber defence, defence against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) agents, environmental security and disaster forecast and prevention of natural catastrophes. A hands-on cyber defence training course took place in April 2013. The aim of the training course was to create institutional capability and increase awareness on cyber threats with a view to enhancing the resiliency of national IT infrastructures. Future areas for concrete cooperation were discussed by national government officials, scientists and experts at an SPS 'Information Day' held in Skopje in June 2013. Public information Given that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ aims to join NATO, it is important to continue to ensure public awareness of how NATO works and of the rights and obligations which membership brings. Public diplomacy activities also aim to develop and maintain links with civil society actors and to facilitate security-related activities and programmes in the country. NATO's Public Diplomacy Division plays a key role in this area, as do individual Allies and partner countries. In every partner country an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The Embassy of Turkey in Skopje acts as a Contact Point Embassy (CPE) for NATO. Milestones in relations 1995 The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ joins the Partnership for Peace (PfP). 1996 The country hosts its first PfP training exercise "Rescuer". 1997 The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ becomes a member of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). 1999 The country plays a key role in supporting NATO operations in Kosovo, and the Allies provide assistance to ease the humanitarian crisis as refugees from Kosovo flood into the country. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ joins NATO's Membership Action Plan (MAP) and the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP). 2001 Violence flares up in the west of the country. NATO plays a key role in facilitating negotiations on a cease-fire reached in June. NATO Allies deploy a task force to collect arms from former combatants and support the implementation of the Ohrid Framework Agreement. 2002 The country deploys personnel in support of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. 2003 The NATO-led peace-monitoring mission in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ is handed over to the European Union. 2005 A combined medical team of the three MAP countries joins NATO-led forces in Afghanistan in August. 2007 The country hosts the EAPC Security Forum in Ohrid. 2008 In April, Allies agree that the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ will be invited to start accession talks as soon as a mutually acceptable solution to the issue over the country's name has been reached. 2010 The Secretary General visits Skopje in June 2010. 2012 Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski addresses the North Atlantic Council on 25 January. President Gjorge Ivanov attends a meeting at NATO's Summit, joining counterparts from countries that are supporting the NATO-led stabilisation mission in Afghanistan. Also, Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki joins fellow foreign ministers from the three other countries that are aspiring to NATO membership in a meeting chaired by NATO's Deputy Secretary General. During a visit to NATO HQ of President Gjorge Ivanov on 4 September, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen welcomes Skopje's commitment to continuing reforms and expresses his strong hope that a mutually acceptable solution to the issue of the country's name could be reached as soon as possible within the framework of the United Nations. 2013 In June, the North Atlantic Council accepts the country's offer to make its Public Affairs Regional Centre in Skopje a Partnership Training and Education Centre, opening its activities to Allies and partners.
former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹, Peace support operations in the -
Peace support operations in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ On the request of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ NATO engaged in three separate operations to quell tension between the country's ethnic Albanian minority and national security forces. On 13 August 2001, the Skopje government and ethnic Albanian representatives signed the Ohrid Framework Agreement. Under this agreement, the government pledged to improve the rights of its ethnic Albanian population. In exchange, ethnic Albanian representatives agreed to abandon separatist demands and hand over weapons to a NATO force. This was the beginning of NATO's short-term military presence in the country (2001-2003). The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 1 has been a NATO Partner country since 1995 and joined the Membership Action Plan in 1999. NATO set up a military headquarters in Skopje to assist with security sector reform. At the 2008 Bucharest Summit, NATO leaders agreed to extend an invitation to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 1 to join the Alliance as soon as a mutually acceptable solution to the issue over its name has been reached with Greece. Three separate NATO operations Setting the scene Violence broke out in the country when ethnic Albanian extremists challenged government authorities to grant the ethnic Albanian community more rights. On 20 June 2001, President Boris Trajkovski sent a letter to Lord Robertson, the then NATO Secretary General, to request NATO assistance in keeping civil war at bay. He wanted NATO to assist his government in demilitarising the National Liberation Army (NLA) and disarming ethnic Albanian extremists operating across the country. Diplomatic efforts and peace talks had been initiated but stalled over a series of delicate issues, including the question of whether Albanian would be recognised as an official language. NATO adopted a dual-track approach: it condemned the attacks but urged the government to adopt constitutional reforms to increase participation of ethnic Albanians in society and politics. NATO approved the operation on 29 June, but its conditions for deployment were that the political dialogue between the various parties in the country had a "successful outcome' and a cease-fire was respected. Only then would NATO send troops with "strong rules of engagement" to collect weapons from the ethnic Albanian extremists. On 15 August, two days after the signature of the political framework agreement – the Ohrid Framework Agreement – the North Atlantic Council authorised the immediate deployment of the Headquarters of Task Force Harvest on the ground. This was the first of three operations to be launched: Operation Essential Harvest; Operation Amber Fox; and Operation Allied Harmony. Collecting weapons NATO officially launched Operation Essential Harvest on 22 August and effectively started operations on 27 August. The 30-day mission aimed to disarm ethnic Albanian insurgents on a voluntary basis. Approximately 3,500 NATO troops, with logistical support, were sent to the country. Nearly 4,000 weapons and several hundred thousand more items, including mines and explosives, were collected. The operation finished on 26 September 2001. Protecting international monitors Following the conclusion of Operation Essential Harvest, the Allies launched Operation Amber Fox. The Operational Plan was approved on 26 September 2001 and the mission officially started the next day. Operation Amber Fox was mandated to assist in the protection of international monitors from the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe who oversaw implementation of the Ohrid Agreement. The mission was deployed under German leadership with the participation of other NATO member countries, and consisted of 700 Allied troops joining 300 troops already based in the country. Initially, Operation Amber Fox had a three-month mandate, but it was subsequently extended until 15 December 2002. Minimizing the risks of destabilization In response to an additional request from President Trajkovski, the North Atlantic Council agreed to continue supporting the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ with a new mission that would help minimise the risks of destabilisation. While acknowledging that Operation Amber Fox could be finalised, the Council agreed that there was a requirement for a follow-on international military presence in the country. Operation Allied Harmony was launched on 16 December and its objectives were to provide continued support for international monitors and to assist the government in taking ownership of security throughout the country. On 17 March 2003, the North Atlantic Council decided to terminate Operation Allied Harmony as of 31 March, and to hand over responsibility for a continued international military presence to the European Union. NATO HQ Skopje NATO remains committed to helping the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia¹ integrate into Euro-Atlantic structures. To that end, NATO HQ Skopje was created in April 2002 to advise on military aspects of security sector reform. 1. Turkey recognises the Republic of Macedonia with its constitutional name.
Fundamental security tasks, NATO's -
NATO's fundamental security tasks NATO's essential and enduring purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of all its members by political and military means. Collective defence is at the heart of the Alliance and creates a spirit of solidarity and cohesion among its members. NATO strives to secure a lasting peace in Europe, based on common values of individual liberty, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Since the outbreak of crises and conflicts beyond the borders of NATO member countries can jeopardize this objective, the Alliance also contributes to peace and stability through crisis management operations and partnerships. Essentially, NATO not only helps to defend the territory of its members, but engages where possible and when necessary to project its values further afield, prevent crises, manage crises, stabilize post-conflict situations and support reconstruction. NATO also embodies the transatlantic link by which the security of North America is tied to the security of Europe. It is an intergovernmental organization which provides a forum where members can consult together on any issues they may choose to raise and take decisions on political and military matters affecting their security. No single member country is forced to rely soley on its national capabilities to meet its essential national security objectives. The resulting sense of shared security among members contributes to stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. NATO's fundamental security tasks are laid down in the Washington Treaty. They are sufficiently general to withstand the test of time and are translated into more detail in strategic concepts. Strategic concepts are the authoritative statement of the Alliance's objectives and provide the highest level of guidance on the political and military means to be used in achieving these goals; they remain the basis for the implementation of Alliance policy as a whole. During the Cold War, NATO focused on collective defence and the protection of its members from potential threats emanating from the Soviet Union. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, along with the rise of non-state actors affecting international security, many new security threats emerged. NATO now focuses on countering these threats by utilizing collective defence, managing crisis situations and encouraging cooperative security, as outlined in the 2010 Strategic Concept.

|This Height Increasing Altitude Shoe is made from the highest quality cow leather. It has a leather upper (to facilitate light weight and breathability) and a rubberised grip bottom for added stability.
|How To Clean Them
|First, remove all dirt with a sponge or piece of cloth or other material. The cloth may be dry or moist, depending on how heavy the stains are.

Leptospirosis is a rare bacterial infection that can be serious. The infection is caused by the bacterium called Leptospira.
Leptospirosis is most common in warm, tropical conditions. It also spreads easily. With prompt and proper treatment, prognosis is usually good. If untreated, complications may develop that can potentially be fatal.
Leptospirosis is caused by contact with fresh water, wet or dampened soil, or vegetation that has been soiled by urine from an infected animal.
When contact is made with the contaminated material, the bacteria enter the body through open sores or wounds in the skin, or through mucous membranes. When the bacterium has entered the body, it flows into the bloodstream and throughout the body, causing infection.
Risk Factors
The following people are at an increased risk of developing leptospirosis:
- Canoeists
- Rafters
- Swimmers in lakes, rivers, and streams
- Workers in flood plains
- Workers in wet agricultural settings
- People who have pets, particularly dogs or livestock
- People who work with the land, including farmers, ranchers, loggers, and rice-field workers
- People who work with animals, including veterinarians
Symptoms typically appear about 10 days after infection and may include one or more of the following:
- Sudden fever, chills, pain, and headache
- Dry cough
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Aching joints
- Sore throat
- Painful bones
- Abdominal pain
- Rigid muscles
- Rash on the skin
- Yellow skin and eyes
- Reduced urine output
- Neck stiffness
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Cultures or other laboratory tests
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include antibiotics, such as:
- Penicillin
- Tetracycline
- Chloramphenicol
- Erythromycin
To help reduce your chances of getting leptospirosis, take the following steps:
- Reduce contact with soil, vegetation, and water that could possibly be contaminated with infected animal urine, including urine from rodents.
- If working with materials that could potentially be contaminated, wear protective clothing that covers the skin, including waterproof boots or waders.
- If working in an especially high-risk area, talk to your doctor about beginning antibiotic treatment before potential exposure.

In 2007, at the invitation of Singapore's government, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts Asia opened on a three-acre campus in the central region of Singapore. It offered Four Master of Fine Arts degrees within the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television: Animation and Digital Arts, Dramatic Writing, Film and International Media Producing. Students from across the world – including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States – have come to study at Tisch School of the Arts Asia.
Despite the best efforts of NYU and the Singapore government working together for the better part of 2012, we were unsuccessful in developing a sustainable financial plan for the campus. The decision was therefore made not to accept new students, and to close the campus in summer 2015, thereby allowing all current students to obtain their degrees with a full complement
of faculty.
While we are not accepting any more applicants to Tisch Asia, please feel free to find more information by visiting the Tisch Asia Web site. Or apply to the Tisch School of the Arts in New York for graduate study.

Washington Recorder Society
The Washington Recorder Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to recorder playing. WRS is a chapter of the American Recorder Society. Currently the WRS has about 49 members.
WRS meets twice a month for ensemble playing, instruction, and guest recorder concerts at the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church, 9601 Cedar Lane, Bethesda, MD 20814-4099, from 8:00-10:00 pm. Sheet music is supplied to participants at each meeting. These meetings are usually on the first and third Mondays from September through May.
The first Monday of the month is the Nova session, and is devoted to two hours of group playing under the leadership of Dick Shrager. The music ranges from the Middle Ages to modern jazz and tango.
The third Monday of the month is the Antiqua session. It begins with a brief business meeting which is followed by a guest recorder concert by a local group. The concert usually lasts about 30-40 minutes. After the guest concert, the attendees break up into separate ensembles under the direction of a group leader.
In 2013-2014, there will be three ensembles to choose from at each Antiqua session:
In early May, WRS holds a Spring Concert where all Antiqua groups perform along with guest ensembles. On occasion at the Spring Concert, a group of WRS players has premiered a new composition for recorder. See the review of the 2012 concert under Newsworthy Items.

WRS has held a contest during 2013 for a new recorder composition to celebrate our 50-year affiliation with the ARS. During the past two months playing groups from WRS have played through the 19 compositions we received. Results of these sessions narrowed the field to six possible selections, and at a final session on April 17 'The Federal Fantasia and Fugue' by Glen Shannon won the First Prize of $750.00. Second Prize of $500.00 was awarded to 'The Gypsy Recorder Consort in Washington!' by Keith Terrett. The judges for the final session were Tina Chancey, Richard Spittal of the Baltimore Early Music Group, and Col. Michael Colburn, Director of the Marine Band.
Both pieces were performed at the Spring Concert in May. To see and hear 'The Federal Fantasia and Fugue', click here and to download the music, click here. Similarly, To see and hear 'The Gypsy Recorder Consort in Washington!', click here and to download the music, click here.
On Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 3:00pm at the Presbyterian Church of the Atonement, the WRS presented its annual spring concert. Note the change in venue due to extenuating circumstances. This is a tradition of over thirty years wherein subgroups of the society and their friends perform some of the beautiful literature available to recorders and other early instruments. Nine groups performed at this year's concert and the variety of music was delightful. This year in celebration of the 50th year of WRS membership in the ARS, the WRS held an international competition for an original musical piece written for 4-5 recorders. Nineteen entrees were received and the two best pieces chosen by a board of professional musicians were performed at the concert. In addition, following the concert, the WRS hosted its members, guests and performers to a reception that included delicacies of food and drink as well as animated conversation. A large and cheerful turnout indicated that the concert was a great success. Since it is difficult in this day and age to attract new members to our society, we are encouraged that this event may lead to a renaissance for the WRS. We therefore hope that you will join one of our performing groups in the future or just come to listen. Click here for the program of this year's concert.

Morris and the Morris Music Collection
Jayme Sokolov
On Sunday, April 11, 2010, Roger Morris died. He is survived by Myra, his wife of 51 years, and his son and daughter.
Roger grew up in Los Angeles and earned his undergraduate degree in engineering at the University of California at Los Angeles and his master's degree in urban and regional planning at the University of Southern California. For many years, he worked for the US Department of Energy and the US Environmental Protection Agency.
Outside of work and family, Roger's two reigning passions were volleyball and music. For many years, Roger conducted WRS's Nova session. In addition, he led an Antiqua session on Bach that attracted many participants. He also was an excellent recorder player.
Roger brought his infectious exuberance, curiosity, and energy to WRS. He enjoyed conducting music and he really enjoyed transcribing music by hand for his Nova and Bach groups. These highly legible four-part transcriptions captured the essence of Bach and other composers at an intermediate playing level and always were enjoyable to perform.
After Roger and Myra retired to Santa Cruz, California, he continued his involvement with WRS by leading fall workshops for several years. He also shared his musical talents with the South Bay Recorder Society in San Jose.
As Roger lay dying, he sorted through his voluminous files of musical hand transcriptions. He and Myra arranged to ship 90 pounds of music to WRS as his parting gift to us. Some of them include continuo parts on CDs that Roger programmed on his electric keyboard.
These musical transcriptions now constitute the Roger Morris Collection and are housed in the WRS cabinet in the basement of the Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church, which contains our other musical collections.
If you are interested in borrowing music from the Roger Morris Collection, board members have keys to the cabinet.
We will remember Roger with great fondness.
FOR SALE: No recorders are for sale at
this time. However at the 10/21/2013 Antiqua meeting some
donated recorders will be available at auction.

WRS Music
WRS music library consists of two separate collections
of printed music. All the music in both collections is
available to WRS members to borrow. The music is
stored in two cabinets in room 1, downstairs at the
Cedar Lane Unitarian Church where our meetings are
held. The cabinets are unlocked and open before
and during our Nova and Antiqua meetings and
workshops. Instructions for charging out and
returning music are posted on the inside of the
right-hand door of the right-hand cabinet.
The collections consist of the original WRS music, which has accumulated since the beginning of the Society itself, the Oler Collection, which was given to the WRS several years ago by the Oler family, and the Morris collection. The music in these collections is fully cataloged according to number of instruments and by composer or title. There are also some exercise and performance manuals. It is easy to find a specific piece of music you might want or to browse through the music according to solo or ensemble music.

How do I use Do-not-track on Firefox for Android?
Most major websites track their visitors' behavior and then sell or provide that information to other companies (like advertisers). Firefox has a Do Not Track feature that lets you tell websites you don't want your browsing behavior tracked. This article explains what tracking is, how the Do Not Track feature works and how to turn it on.
Table of Contents
What is tracking?
Tracking is a term that includes many different methods that websites, advertisers and others use to learn about your web browsing behavior. This includes information about what sites you visit, things you like, dislike and purchase. They often use this information to show ads, products or services specifically targeted to you.
How does the Do Not Track feature work?
When you turn on the Do Not Track feature, Firefox tells every website you visit (as well as their advertisers and other content providers) that you don't want your browsing behavior tracked. Honoring this setting is voluntary — individual websites are not required to respect it. Websites that do honor this setting should automatically stop tracking your behavior without any further action from you.
Turning on Do Not Track will not affect your ability to log in to websites nor cause Firefox to forget your private information — such as the contents of shopping carts, location information or login information.
How do I turn the Do-not-track feature on?
The Do-not-track feature is turned off by default. To turn it on:
- Tap the button (either at the bottom edge of the screen or in the the top-right corner) and then (you may need to tap first) .
- Next tap , then and choose Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked.
- Tap the button (either at the bottom edge of the screen or in the the top-right corner) and then (you may need to tap first) .
- Next tap
and choose Tell sites that I do not want to be tracked.
- A check mark will appear to show that the feature is enabled.
Other tracking options
There are two other tracking options:
- Tell sites that I want to be tracked: Choosing this option will tell websites that you want to be tracked by advertisers and other third-parties. You should be aware that many companies build a profile of sites you visit. Checking this option means that you are okay with that.
- Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences: This is the default setting. Choosing this option will not tell websites anything about your preferences. You should note that this does not mean that you will not be tracked. In fact it's effectively the same as the previous option, and you are likely going to be tracked.

Online distance learning degrees are designed to teach students how to teach online and how to effectively design curricula and use technology to present the most information in the best way. Students in distance learning degree programs will study instructional design, teaching online, and how to build online learning communities.
Distance learning degree programs teach students general curriculum development, various e-learning technologies, integrating technology into the classroom, virtual community building, evaluation and assessment, and the pedagogy for whichever age range they might want to specialize in. Students may be able to further specialize by studying reading, special education, or e-learning project management.
Those who study distance learning would be ideally suited for positions teaching in a primary or secondary classroom, leading technology integration or instructional design within a school district, or teaching in a post-secondary environment. Those interested in teaching in higher education settings could take advantage of the Internet knowing no physical limits, and take adjunct teaching positions with one or several schools across the country or even world.
As enrollment in online degree programs continues to increase, and as school districts around the country continue to embrace technology in the classroom, the career outlook for distance learning professionals is bright. Their position within the education system is solid—education professionals with experience both inside and outside the classroom.
