GALION - It was far from a perfect day - plenty of rain, lots of mud, a missed turn.
The results are hard to argue with, though.
Mohawk slogged its way around a water-soaked course at Amanns Reservoir for a title, Hopewell-Loudon held off Elmwood 102-106 for second and St. Wendelin overcame a sub-par running day to earn the fourth and final regional team berth.
Meanwhile, Calvert senior Olivia Smith initially missed the final turn and had to retrace her steps, going from leading the race to battling to claim second in one of the Division III races Saturday at the district meet.
"I didn't know [that was the turn]," said a smiling Smith after finishing in 20:29.89. "I saw it, it was really muddy, it looked like almost it was blocked off because it was so narrow, so I went around. And then everyone said 'go the other way,' so I went back."
Smith ran up front for most of the race and had a few steps on Van Buren's Rachell Resnik and Woodmore's Courtney Burner as they neared the final turn - an opening between two cordoned off areas no wider than a home's doorway.
While Smith missed the turn, Resnik and Burner slipped through behind her.
Resnik got the win (20:25.88), but Smith was able to overtake Burner (20:30.37).
Mohawk had no such glaring missteps, but coach Brock Cleveland said his Warriors were a little disappointed individually, despite capturing the title by an 84-102 margin over Hopewell-Loudon.
He said the district championship was a first for the girls cross country team, and the first in cross country for the school since the boys accomplished the feat in 1987.
"I think we felt like we had a really good chance to win. That was our goal. That's been one of our goals from the beginning," Cleveland said. "I think the girls were a little disappointed; they didn't run great, and I don't know if they weren't in it mentally today because of the weather or whatever.
"But we're moving on. We accomplished one of our goals and we need to move on. I'm a mixture of emotions," he said. "I'm really happy because this is our first district championship ever for girls [cross country], and it's only our second in school history, I think."
Freshman Shauna Leeth led the champions by running eighth in 21:39.14.
Leeth was happy she would have advanced as an individual - the top 16 qualified for the regional - even if the team had not made it, but she said her finish and time were sub-par.
"I was hoping to stay up front more but the mud really got to me and I kind of fell behind," Leeth said. "I had to slow down a few times to not fall."
Classmate McKenzie Richardson added a 16th (22:14.47), junior Haley Leeth ran 22nd (22:34.34), freshman Beth Dundore clocked in 26th (22:43.46) and junior Kayla Risner finished 32nd (23:07.89) to round out Mohawk's scorers.
Brooke Theis (42nd, 23.38.74) and Kaela Kozel (77th, 26:50.17) also ran for the Warriors.
"This was a huge day for them. I'm really proud of them. We have to regroup and hopefully, if all goes well, give ourselves a chance to make it out next week," said Cleveland, who added Haley Leeth played a huge role in that.
"She was back in the pack and I told them 'we need to get moving' and she was one of the girls that responded, she was one of the girls that really started to push forward and move forward and I really think she's the one who helped us today," he said.
Hopewell-Loudon coach Paul Jones said he got the same kind of effort from Lauren Shaver, who finished 27th (22:48.56) for the runner-up Chieftains.
"I'd have to say Lauren Shaver had a tremendous race today. She's usually our fifth runner and I think she was fourth [among H-L runners] today and not very far behind the [the team's] third-place girl," he said. "She really stepped up today.
"Very muddy course, and it was a tough district, too. I thought, looking at it coming in, there were probably six teams that had shots of moving on, and to get up to that runner-up spot was a goal," Jones said. "I didn't know if we could do it, but they just ran a very nice race today and ignored the conditions and were able to pull out a second place."
Leah Reinhart led the charge for Chieftains by capturing sixth in 21:32.56, with Lizzie Erlanger finishing 20th (22:30.15) and Keely Hoover taking 24th (22:40.02). Morgan Brant's 44th (23:54.62) rounded out H-L's scorers.
St. Wendelin gained its first regional team berth in coach Cindra Baker's nine-year tenure by turning away Calvert 115-128 for the final spot. Baker her team's struggles on the course had her doubting the Mohawks would make it, right up until officials released the results.
"They struggled, they're still struggling. Just very happy it turned out in our favor," she said. "We're going to come back and do the best we can.
"We're excited. This is a first for me with the girls team making it. I'm just happy for the girls," Baker said. "They're the ones who put in the hard work. They've worked this season, they deserve a spot."
Victoria Volpe crossed the line 11th (21:43.89) for the Mohawks, Jocelyn Reinhart took 18th (22:24.5), Sara Goddard claimed 25th (22:43.12), Karin Goddard finished 31st (23:04.17) and Lauren Meyers came in 54th (24:38.26).
Morgan Smith backed up Olivia Smith by running 17th (22:22.11) for Calvert.
Lakota took ninth with 208 points and New Riegel ended 11th (292).
Cariss Reese advanced for Lakota by finishing fourth in 20:44.22.
It was the senior's first and only time on the course, and despite the rain and mud, she said she enjoyed. Of course, earning her fourth trip to the regional meet didn't hurt.
"I think it made it a lot more fun. The course seems like it's a pretty good course, but it seems to kind of repeat; boring. So I think the mud made it more fun," she said. "The turns and the hills were a little bit scary. I was kind of scared I was going to slide down [a hill] so I backed way off, but I'm sure everyone had the same problem."
"I'm pretty excited. Since I made it to regional every other year, I wanted to continue that, so I'm pretty excited about it," Reese said.
One other area girl qualified for the regional, with Old Fort's Kayla Garza capturing seventh in 21:36.9. The Stockaders did not field a full team.
Area teams also competed in two other district races at the course, but no local teams or runners advanced from them.
Seneca East finished 11th (280) in the other Division III meet, led by Alyssa England's 46th (24:17.21) and Kirsten Camp's 50th (24:35.17).
Buckeye Central and Bettsville did not field full teams in that same meet. Lizbeth Figeuroa finished 21st (22:46.47) for Buckeye Central and Bettsville's Alexis Davis ended 77th (30:12.79).
Upper Sandusky ran in the Division II meet, ending 11th (289). Olivia Thompson finished 27th (21:11.59) for the Rams and Mackenzie Myers took 64th (23:41.22).

text: The museum (open June – October) shows how for 300 years the mountain people on the Mot Madlain dug out the ore by hand before smelting it in the valley (Schmelzra) in order to obtain the precious silver and lead. From the tools and carts of that time shown here, you can see vividly how the miners and the farmers lived. There is also a permanent special exhibition about the last bears hunted in Switzerland.

Microsoft is the largest software company in the
world and there is little to indicate that it will cease being the biggest
gorilla in the cage anytime soon. Although profits at Microsoft were up
and were greater than Wall Street expected, the company has seen its stock
plummet and sales of its Windows operating systems are sagging.
Microsoft offered up the financial
details for its latest quarter yesterday. According to the numbers,
Microsoft's Windows division saw sales of Windows 7 OS slide. This is
attributed in part to the sagging PC sales that were down 1% in the same three
month time period compared to a year ago. When PC sales sag, so do sales of
Windows since the vast majority of PCs shipped run Windows in some flavor.
At the same time, some of the blame for sagging
Windows sales and slowing PC sales is attributed the popularity of other
gadgets and devices like the iPad. The iPad and other tablets are encroaching
on the PC market in a noticeable way and many feel that trend will only
As a result of Windows losing momentum in the
marketplace and uncertainty of PC sales Microsoft has seen its stock
price fall 1.2% to $26.37 in trading reports Reuters.
Capital Advisors Growth fund Channing Smith said,
"Microsoft to me is no longer a growth stock, but it is a very attractive
value stock. They continue to generate tremendous free cash flow. Their balance
sheet is really unmatched." He continued, "What you will begin to see
is a shift away from growth investors. You are seeing that transition where
Microsoft is in no man's land, but I think they will become increasingly more
attractive to value investors."
Over the last year, Microsoft's stock has lost 14%
compared with an overall growth of 16% for the Nasdaq. While Windows slipped,
other segments of Microsoft's business did well and took up the slack. Overall,
net profit at Microsoft was up 31% in fiscal Q3 to $5.2 billion amounting to 61
cents per share. After excluding the tax benefit Microsoft profits still met
analyst expectations.
Standouts for the quarter included the Office Division
which saw a 21% increase in sales to $5.2 billion, and the Entertainment and
Devices Division relied on the Xbox 360 and Kinect to rack up $1.9 billion in
The much talked about deal for Bing to provide
search results on Yahoo is still not performing as Microsoft had hoped with the
division posting a loss of $726 million.

There have been numerous studies that have shown that distracted drivers can be as dangerous on the road as drunk drivers. Some recent studies have shown that texting while driving may actually be just as dangerous as driving intoxicated.
In an effort to reduce the distractions that drivers are confronted with while driving some stated have instituted hands free laws that require drivers to use hands free kits to make calls while driving. Ford has a system called Sync in some of its vehicles that offers all sorts of hands free technologies to make driving safer while still allowing drivers to stay in contact and listen to music from digital devices.
Ford commissioned a new study that has shown significant differences in how distracted drivers are when using its Sync system compared to not using it. For the study, Ford had drivers select a phone number or choose a song on their MP3 players using Sync compared to doing the same thing manually.
Drivers who did the tasks manually had their eyes off the road for about 25 seconds while drivers using Sync had their eyes off the road for approximately two seconds. Participants in the study were asked to dial ten-digit phone numbers, call a specific person form the digital phone book, receive a call while driving, play a specific song, and review and respond to text messages.
The time eyes were off the road was measured by the researchers for drivers using both methods. Ford says that drivers performing these tasks manually swerved out of their lane 30 percent of the time while Sync users never swerved out of their lane. Ford has also announced a new 911 Assist feature for Sync that can dial 911 post-crash automatically.
Dr. Louis Tijerina from Ford said in a statement, "These real-world results indicate that SYNC's voice-interface offers substantial advantages compared to using a handheld device to do the same task."
quote: The fact that you think the government has the right to take away other people's liberties and livelihood to try to (quite delusionally) reduce your risk to zero is draconian.
quote: The fact is, that if you drive in a reasonable manner, it's absolutely possible to talk on a hands-free system and drive safely.
quote: Outlawing every little distraction is not going to help and is completely impractical.
quote: Education and safe driving classes come closer to solving the problem than paying more fat, uneducated cops to harass tax paying citizens. I would much rather have a smaller, better trained police force than the jokes that we have in most communities now.
quote: What good is saying all that, while there's not enough cops on patrol and not enough money to get more cops on patrol.
quote: Will it happen. No.
quote: I'm living in Germany. Doing 30 kph over the speed limit is an instant suspension of your license for 3 months. Hasn't stopped me yet.
quote: Highest speeding I've done has been 160 kph in an 80 kph zone.
quote: Cops are very adamant about DUIs, but the number hasn't exactly decreased.That's $1000 fine, 1 year suspension, and possible jail time. A hell of a lot stricter than what you have planned, yet we still constantly get DUIs. I bet while I was typing this up, at least 100 DUIs have happened in the US.If that's not bad enough, there are even harsher punishments for 2nd and 3rd offenses. Which does occur also.
quote: Unfortunately some people are just plain stupid and don't care about consequences: those are the types that need to be confined in prison for the rest of their lives
quote: There are limits to how much we can multi-task, and that combination of cellphone and driving exceeds the limits," says David Strayer, a University of Utah psychologist who has found that by many measures, drivers yakking on cellphones are more dangerous behind the wheel than those who are drunk, whether the conversation is carried on by handset or headset.
quote: For instance, in a 2005 Australian study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers interviewed, during a 27-month period, 456 hospitalized cellphone users who had each been involved in a crash. The scientists combed the drivers' call records to see how cellphone use affected their driving. Whether they talked hands-free or with a phone clasped to their ear, the result was the same: During calls, and for 10 minutes after their completion, a driver's likelihood of crashing shot up fourfold.
quote: Marcel Just, a neuroscientist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, conducted brain imaging of 29 young adults to gauge the cognitive demands of simultaneously driving and listening. Lying in a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine, the subjects steered a simulated car down a winding road. On a second run, they steered the car while listening to general-knowledge statements and identifying them as true or false.The study, published in April in the journal Brain Research, found that subjects who were allowed to navigate undisturbed showed robust activity in the brain's parietal lobe, a region long associated with spatial sense, distance calculations and judgments that require a person to calculate his whereabouts in a broader physical environment. When the task of listening to the sentences was added, blood flowed to different parts of the brain generally involved in the processing of language. As those language areas came alive, activity in the parietal lobe declined by almost 40%.While engaged in the listening task, drivers simultaneously listening to sentences veered off the road and onto the shoulder almost 50% more often than those allowed to focus uniquely on driving. And all they had to do was steer the car forward: no cars veered into their lane, no children darted into the road, no construction site loomed up unexpectedly.

quote: Highest speeding I've done has been 160 kph in an 80 kph zone.
quote: WTF does that have to do with Asians at all
quote: Old ppl. It's not so much that they are bad drivers, just too slow.
quote: Just talking to a passenger is diverting some attention from driving. Should we just make single seat cars then? Remove radios, cd player etc? They all distract the driver. How about adjusting the heat/AC that is a distraction.

Attn: fans -- past/present/future -- of Jason Brown's blogging
Brown once again is blogging for IN.
As some of us have mentioned in this thread, Brown's blogging always is a pleasure to read. And his first installment from Milan lives up to that reputation.
I got hooked on Brown's expressive writing (even without knowing much about his skating) when Doris recommended his first round of blogging from a previous competition. Thanks, Doris.
The GS twitter feed definitely is a great window into what skaters (from all over the world) are saying in the Twitterverse.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - My wife chided me for not pronouncing her name correctly, "It's DeGeneres, not Dee-Jen-Heiress." But I think I've got it right now, and am in love with her humor.
For the first time in the 15 year history of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor I was able to watch the 90-minute event as it aired on PBS. In thanking PBS, Ellen teased, "I'm so glad to be a part of your farewell season." Even Oscar the Grouch had to guffaw.
Finally, this year for the first time, the Mark Twain Prize goes to a humorist instead of a comedian. We've had hundreds of comedians in this great land of ours but very few humorists, Ben Franklin, Twain (portrayed today by Hal Holbrook), Will Rogers, Garrison Keillor ... and the difference between a comedian and a humorist is ever so vast.
The comedian's job is to make us laugh, and laughter is good for us, it's like massage on the inside, cuts down on the doctor bills, keeps us from souring. But the comedian oftentimes bestows this favor upon us at the expense of somebody else, or at the expense of decency, and leaves feeling guilty for laughing at pejorative humor.
President Taft once said, "Mark Twain never wrote a line that a father could not read to his daughter." Yet George Carlin, a previous winner of the Twain Prize, was famous for his "Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television."
The humorist's job is merely to show us the good natured side of the truth. The humorist is not looking for a laugh, the humorist is looking for a nod of acknowledgment or perhaps the hint of a smile.
Twain reminds us that "Laughter without a tinge of philosophy is but a sneeze of humor. Genuine humor is replete with wisdom. Humor must not professedly teach, and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever - which is thirty years."
As she took the stage to accept the prize, Ellen lamented the fact that she had to follow so many funny people, and how she had hoped to follow Ken Burns, thus making light of a truism that Sam illuminated so long ago. "Set a diamond upon a pall of black if you'd have it glisten."
She went on to say, "I have not read Twain, but then he has not seen my HBO special." To wit an admirer of both responded, "It would be impossible to give the faintest idea of her talk on paper. Written or spoken by another it would lose half its points of value. We can only congratulate those who heard her and pity those who did not."
Lilly Tomlin stole my heart when she called Ellen, "Our Huckleberry Friend." Ellen, like Huck, stuck by her friend to confront society and challenge conventional thinking, conventional notions.
Twain railed against human foibles and humbuggery, yes, but he did it with a scalpel, not a switch-blade. Twain's discriminating irreverence was drawn not from the warrior's quiver, but from the artist's pallet. He would not kick a humbug in the shin, but would place a bench strategically in his path so that he might bark his own shin.
It's one thing to have a sense of humor, it is something more to have a humorous outlook on life. Ellen DeGeneres has a health-giving outlook on life, and is a humorist of the blood royal. To my mind she is the very first to truly deserve the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. We might go another generation to find another of her rank, or perhaps go another generation for her to find us...

Oops, something didn't work.
No video??
video not working here either..
Works on the Media downloads. The silverlight video is blank though.
Yes, unfortunately video is blank for me too, on Chrome that is
Just tested guys, loads for me in SL
@ch9 this is my worst Silverlight Video Player User eXperience EVER!!!
When *.wma (audio) is used vs *.wmv (video) like this example http://bit.ly/cOGqn1
like this line of html source from this page:
<a href="http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/ch9/2/4/2/2/6/5/Ping66_ch9.wma" >
Once user starts video, controls disappear and Silverlight Player goes BLACK with NO more user input being accepted.
This just SUX (Sad UX)
Hopefully this Silverlight Player will be modified to allow user access to controls should an audio only file is played?
Where's my Zune ver. which I always download?
I'm downloading the big WMV(high) ver now.
I'm disappointed to hear Kinect is priced at $150. Not because I won't buy one, because I know it will discourage the majority of users. I'll be waiting to see if the latency issues have been resolved in the shipped product.
We're having some issues with our file uploader. Sorry about the inconvenience. This should resolve itself in time.
wait, what? The player doesn't allow you pick the media target.
Looks like the media reference has been updated so the video plays fine now.
I wonder if that contest is just for the US or is it open to Canada as well? The site really doesn't specify.
Hey Now Ping #66,
Great Vid!
Thx 4 the info,
Little issue when rating. If you are watching an episode and would like to rate the content, you must wait until you are done watching the episode, otherwise, the rating feature causes a postback which refreshes the page and the video gets reset. Is there any way to resolve this issue?
Kinect looks so cool that I thinking of finally buying a XBox, but we will see
And about Bing, I understand why they focus on US search only. Here in Europe the Bing site isn't good at all. We haven't got any of the new cool/good features. We only have a search box, nothing else. And it have looked the same since release. When it was release I tested the US version, and that was so much better and did think, oooo, it will be nice when we get this to. But looks like it never going to happend
Thanks for providing information about the MSDN Ultimate subscription for Unemployed Developers project. We hope that we can provide the incentive for several great projects to serve the non-profit sector while at the same time providing support to motivated developers to update their skillset. (The effort is now called 'Project Phoenix' -to honor those developers that will rise from the ashes of career disruption and soar to new heights.)
Any developer and non-profit in the USA and Canada is eligible for consideration. It now appears that we will be giving out a MSDN Ultimate subscription every week for the remainder of the year. Get your projects submitted.
For more details: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/Arnie_Rowland/default.aspx
I have no clue why you think $150 is too high of a price? Its a device that really extendeds the XBOX experience and there will be bundles, holiday discounts, etc just like any other product.
As for the latency concerns, what exactly are you talking about? can you link some reviews that raise particular points?
This subscription for unemployed developers really is an excellent idea, we will be sure to promote it on the next Connected Show developer podcast as well and ill send out a notice to local user groups in NY/NJ.
I miss Laura.
$150 is too high when you can get an entire Xbox for $150. Even if it "extends the Xbox experience", it's still only a peripheral. If they priced it at $50-$75, I bet people would buy it just to see what it was like. At $150, it is no longer an impulse buy.
I actually submitted a project for the MSDN giveaway. It will be for my local church. I hope that I am selected. It would be great to be able to give something back.
Thanks RHM

The 6 Least Sportsmanlike Moments in MMA
A lot of uneducated people look at Mixed Martial Arts as a savage bloodsport between two lunatics. Now normally, I'd argue against this point. After all, anyone who says that violence never solved anything is probably a pussy and causing problems. However, in this week's column I wanted to give the uneducated people and the pussies a break. I wanted to try to see things from their point of view. So I've gone through 20 years of modern gentlemanly combat and found six moments of conduct most ungentlemanly. From post-fight riots to neverending chokes to sucker punches, these are the moments that prove your girlfriend right about this horrible, inhuman karate whatever.
Wes "The Project" Sims vs. Frank Mir
UFC 43: Meltdown
For the first two minutes of this fight, Frank Mir dominated Wes Sims. He was so all over him that it looked like Wes Sims was losing a fight to his own douchebag-faced sweater. Then, as smoothly as if he was posing for a Jiu-Jitsu instructional book, Mir sat on Sims's chest and pulled him into an armbar. Sims had to escape by muscling Mir's entire body into the air and dropping him on his head. Now dropping someone on the top of their head is kind of illegal, but that's not the unsportsmanlike part. The unsportsmanlike part comes when Wes grabs hold of the cage with both hands, which you can't do, and starts furiously stomping on Frank Mir's face. Which you flagrantly can't do even if it's always wordlessly begging for it. It was so illegal that Wes might as well have thrown blinding powder or pulled out a photo of Frank Mir's kidnapped daughter and said, "She's strapped to a bomb that's set to go off when anyone named Wes Sims loses a fight!"
When the referee disqualified him for face stomping, he seemed more annoyed than angry. Almost as if he was explaining to a diabetic child for the fifth time that he's not allowed to drink jam. Wes Sims responded by making a face stupid people make when their mothers drink during pregnancy and walking away with his hands raised. It's possible he simply didn't know what he'd done, like when he snaps the head off one of his rabbits. To this day I don't think he realizes he lost the fight. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if that entire fight he thought he was playing laser tag.
Mike Kyle vs. Brian Olsen
WEC 20: Cinco de Mayhem
This started out as a pretty good back-and-forth match until a punch from Brian Olsen knocked all the goodness out of Mike Kyle's heart. Brian Olsen wasn't aiming for his conscience, but he hit it and knocked it out. Newly awakened Dark Kyle responded by ramming a knee in the general direction of Olsen's crotch and then hip throwing him onto the mat. The night demanded that Mike Kyle make the kill, but after several dominant positions with no effective offense, it was clear he wasn't going to be able to do much of anything. It was a stalemate, like a Democratic Congress trying to get to third base with a Mormon horse--nobody is going to be doing anything to anyone until someone decides to throw ethics out the window. So Mike Kyle did. He jumped to his feet and kicked Brian Olsen in his neck while he was down. It actually blurred the line between disqualification and felony assault, which should have been impossible in the middle of something called a "fight."
The referee dove in to stop the fight, but Mike Kyle didn't care. He's of the school of thought where if you get caught stabbing a hooker, you might as well steal her wallet and tell the police that her meth is yours. So as the referee pulled him off, the already disqualified Mike Kyle kept punching and punching Olsen's unconscious head. I suppose when you're clearly going to end up in prison some day, it's never too early to send a message to the other inmates.
Tank Abbott vs. John Matua
UFC 6: Clash of the Titans
Tank Abbott is the kind of guy you'd expect police to find alone in the center of a wrecked biker bar before they called for immediate backup. He looks like the shitty character from every fighting video game who'd somehow reverse-Tron'ed into our world. His face makes it clear that he hates everything that isn't ZZ Top or alcohol poisoning. He bench presses 600 pounds and wore gloves into the Octagon back when you didn't have to. This implied that he knew things about punching skulls that the rest of us didn't. People put on a diaper before they make eye contact with him.
In his first UFC fight, Tank's opponent was 400 pound John Matua. John Matua practiced something called Kapu Kuialau, the "Hawaiian art of bone breaking." If you're familiar with the skeletal structure of the Polynesian people, then you know that's fucking crazy. Hawaiian's have such reinforced bones that even their women solve every problem with a headbutt. The automotive industry uses Hawaiian bones to test high-speed impacts because they're cheaper than titanium, and that's why every Ford Escape is haunted. All I'm saying is that on paper, John Matua was looking alright.
When the fight started, Tank and John went at each other like six grizzly bears versus a river full of salmon. I figured you'd have to do some weird shit to break Hawaiian bones, but I had no idea it would involve so much slipping and slapping. Fifteen seconds into the two great beasts' graceful dance, Tank grabbed Matua by his T-shirt and hit him with a right hand so hard that train accidents thought their father had finally come back home. It was such a terrible injustice against faces that Bono's orbital bone wrote a song about it.
When a person gets knocked out, strange things happen. Sometimes you wake up quickly and have no idea what happened. Sometimes you stay unconscious until the A-Team is done saving everyone in your illegal sweatshop. In John Matua's case, his brain got confused and told every part of his body to go jogging in a different direction. So he hit the ground stiff and twitching. Tank Abbott, with the class one would expect from central casting's idea of a prison movie extra, looked back at the body and mocked his seizure. Mocked his seizure. That's the kind of thing that makes Satan shuffle the papers on his desk and say, "Shit, I don't even think I have a form for that."

The school year is drawing to a rapid close. For many of us, that means trying to figure out what our kids will do all summer. If you want your kids to learn a life lesson, and make some money in the process, you might encourage them to get a summer job.
A summer job is a great way for kids to learn the value of hard work, as well as get some practical experience with money management. A summer job offers your children a chance to go beyond allowance and earn their own money. You can use this as a chance to teach them valuable financial skills, and help them put into practice such time-honored money moves as saving, wise spending and even investing. Here are some ideas for summer jobs for kids:
Young Children
Even young children like the idea of making money on their own. My son gets an allowance, but it's not really doing it for him as an 8-year-old. He has suggested that we start paying him for chores, but that's not something we're into. (Whether or not to pay children for household chores [3] is a debate for another day.) In order to earn extra money, he is thinking of things he can do. A classic, of course, is the lemonade and cookie stand.
However, even young children can be paid to run errands and do odd jobs. If there are those in the neighborhood looking for help clearing brush, or getting rid of rocks, this can be a worthwhile opportunity for young kids. There are kids in our neighborhood who sell iris bulbs from their flower garden each year.
My son also enjoys doing 4-H projects. He receives ribbon money for his displays. This year, he's looking forward to sewing and model rocketry. And, as a lifetime 4-Her, I have seen kids as young as six or seven showing lambs and other animals — and getting paid for them at auction. (I actually earned ribbon money all the way until I graduated from high school, although I never raised animals.)
Tweens and Young Teenagers
There is an age, about 10 – 15, that children begin to really wish that they could earn some money. However, until your child is 16, getting a traditional job flipping burgers, acting as a runner at the local law office or doing any number of other jobs just isn't going to happen. But that doesn't mean they can't earn money. Some jobs that are available to children that are a little bit older include:
- Lawn care
- Dog walking
- Pet sitting
- Baby sitting
Siblings in my neighborhood have a flag service: For a yearly subscription, they will put flags out in front of your home on the appropriate holidays. It is also possible to sell your stuff [4], online or offline. Kids can go through their old toys, sporting equipment, video games and other items, and have a yard sale. Try to arrange a neighborhood yard sale, and all the kids in the neighborhood can get in on it. And, of course, you are never too young to be an online entrepreneur [5].
What other summer jobs are available for kids under 16?

Bloomin' Arts Festival Draws About 20,000 to Bartow
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 7:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 7:16 p.m.
The streets of Bartow will be filled with flowers, artwork and classic cars this Saturday and Sunday for the annual Bloomin' Art Festival.
WHAT: 42nd annual Bartow Bloomin' Arts Festival.
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
LOCATION: Downtown Bartow.
TICKETS: Admission and parking are free.
CONTACT: 533-3324 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is the Bartow Art Guild's 42nd year of celebrating the spring season. This year, the downtown streets will be filled with booths featuring works from 95 artists from around the area and a showing of 125 antique cars.
New this year to the festival is the student sculpture exhibit on the second floor of the Polk County History Center. Students who submit their pieces can win cash prizes for the efforts. The Student Awards Ceremony will take place at 3:30 p.m. Saturday on the steps of the Polk County History Center.
A panel of judges will award artists with a total of $15,000 in various categories, including a $2,250 prize for best in show. The adults award ceremony takes place at 3 p.m. Sunday on the steps of the Polk County History Center.
Also on the history center's second floor is the annual quilt show. The quilts on display this year vary in age from one year to 100 years old.
Guests will also want to stop by the flower show from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Community Southern Bank at Main Street and Broadway. The theme for the thousands of flowers adorning Bartow this year will be "Silver Linings."
For children, the Mosaic Company will once again be sponsoring face paintings, temporary tattoos and tote bag painting this year. The Children's Tent will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at the 100 block of East Davidson.
Entertainment will also be provided on Saturday. Performers include Lee Turner, Tom Mizell and Arial Godwin.
Another event making a return this year is the bike ride. Registration starts at 7 a.m. Saturday, with the race starting an hour later. Participants will receive a goodie bag filled with biking necessities and a free lunch. The marathon run however will not be back this year.
The free art festival is expected to draw a large crowd to Bartow.
"We would love to see about 20,000 people down here," event co-chairwoman Michell Githens said.
The large amount of people flooding the downtown streets is predicted to be a huge boost to the local economy.
For businesses in downtown Bartow, the Bloomin' Arts Festival "is the busiest weekend of the year," Githens said. All downtown area small businesses and restaurants will be open during the entire festival even though most normally close on Sundays.
The festival kicks off at 4 on Friday afternoon with a special unveiling and ribbon cutting ceremony for a new permanent sculpture on the northeast corner of Fort Blount Park.

on December 31, 2012 - 12:10 AM
Running game: B+
Bills fans have wanted to see C.J. Spiller handle a heavy workload and finally got the chance in the finale. Spiller had a career-high 24 carries for only 59 yards with the Jets keying on him. Tashard Choice had a 13-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Even the Wildcat worked. Brad Smith scored a 4-yard touchdown and ran 16 yards to convert a third-and-9 in the fourth quarter.
Passing game: B
Spiller's career-long 66-yard touchdown reception salvaged an otherwise miserable first half. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed two of his other 10 passes for 40 yards. But he went 9 of 15 for 119 yards in the second half. Stevie Johnson caught six passes for 111 yards and broke the 1,000-yard barrier for a third straight season. The Jets didn't sack Fitzpatrick, but hit him four times.
Run defense: D+
The Jets trampled the Bills in the first half, running on 28 of their 43 plays and amassing 119 yards. Down on the scoreboard, the Jets had to throw more after halftime and finished with only 133 rushing yards and a 3.7 average. Shonn Greene and Bilal Powell combined for 31 carries and 130 yards. The Bills stiffened all three times the Jets got into the red zone and forced field goals.
Pass defense: B+
Buffalo's secondary was helped by Mark Sanchez's usually erratic play. Linebacker Bryan Scott returned a first-quarter interception 20 yards for their only defensive touchdown of the season. Spencer Johnson had a strip sack in the third quarter. The Bills were embarrassed on a second-quarter screen Jeremy Kerley took 40 yards on a third-and-16 play.
Special teams: D
Rian Lindell missed field-goal attempts from 50 and 46 yards in the third quarter, keeping the game in jeopardy longer than it should've been. Buffalo's knack for blocking kicks continued, with Marcell Dareus deflecting a Nick Folk attempt in the third quarter. Alex Carrington got his hand on another one in the second quarter, but it still went through the uprights. Coverage units forced two fumbles.
Coaching: B
With nothing to play for and with Chan Gailey likely coaching his last Bills game, his men dominated a team that didn't have much interest in playing Sunday. Everything clicked for the Bills. The offense, defense and special teams each made big plays. The Bills also were the more disciplined team a week after looking anything but. Dave Wannstedt's defense adjusted well at halftime for a change.
Running game: B
The Jets were dominant early in the game and then gravitated more toward an aerial attack in the second half. Offensive coordinator Tony Sparano opened with nine straight running plays, driving 47 yards in 5:55 to kick a field goal. In the first half, the Jets ran for eight first downs and had the ball for an astounding 23:15. But they didn't run for another first down the rest of the game.
Passing game: D-
The Jets didn't have tight end Dustin Keller or receiver Chaz Schilens again. They happen to be tied for second-most receptions on the team with a meager 28 apiece. But a limited supporting cast has hampered Sanchez all season. Sanchez was scattershot, throwing the pick-six to Scott and completing less than half his passes. When he needed to throw late, the Jets stood little chance.
Run defense: B
The Jets stopped Spiller better than any other defense this year, forcing him to the outside and doing a fine job in pursuit. Spiller's 2.5-yard average was a season-low and his worst since before Fred Jackson got hurt in Week 11 last year. The Bills had only five rushing first downs. But in the fourth quarter, the Jets couldn't stop old friend Smith in the Wildcat and let Choice score from 13 yards out.
Pass defense: C-
Top cornerback Antonio Cromartie had his hands full with Johnson, who caught six of the nine passes thrown his way and averaged 18.5 yards a reception. The Jets also got torched by Spiller's long touchdown. But they held Fitzpatrick to 46 percent completions and didn't allow anybody other than Johnson to catch more than two passes. The Jets failed to generate much pressure.
Special teams: C-
Venerable special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff certainly didn't want to go out this way. Sunday was his final game. Dareus (blocked) and Alex Carrington (barely made it over the goal post) got their hands on two of Nick Folk's four field-goal attempts. Kickoff returners Joe McKnight and Nick Bellore had a fumble apiece. Two of Robert Malone's four punts were touchbacks.
Coaching: D+
Rex Ryan's team didn't look like it had any interest in beating the Bills. The Jets ran with a purpose at the start of the game but after Scott returned Sanchez's interception for a touchdown, the Jets all but packed it in. Every phase of the game produced an uninspired, substandard performance.

Serge Gasore | Psychology ('09), School of Information Technology and Computing ('11), Graduate School of Theology ('13)
One grenade tore Serge Gasore's life - and his faith - apart.
After three days packed into a tiny church with 5,000 friends, neighbors and family members, the feared assault finally came. A militia attacked the defenseless masses crushed tightly into the building.
The attack featured bullets and machetes and grenades. Seven-year-old Serge was sleeping on his grandmother's lap - the only place he could sit in the cramped assembly. She woke him, and they made their way up the teeming center aisle, boy following woman, seeking shelter at the front of the church, the altar, the place of God.
A grenade flew through a window. It landed in front of her. It exploded.
"She blasted in front of me," the ACU graduate student said, remembering the grisly events when the 1994 Rwandan genocide reached his hometown. "Blood was in my face, on my clothes, everywhere. I lost my mind."
Serge doesn't remember how he escaped the Ntarama Church, where now stands a sobering if macabre memorial to the massacre that occurred there 18 years ago. He climbed out a window, or maybe he ran out a door. But run he did.
"I can't tell you how fast I ran," the future ACU track star said. "I broke my records."
Serge survived that hellish day. His belief in God didn't.
'Something big and horrible'
Tall and lanky with a ready smile, soft manner and lightly accented English, Serge Gasore hides well the horror that imprinted itself forever on his life.
A three-time All America long-distance runner for the national champion ACU Wildcat track and field teams of 2006-07, Serge graduated in 2009 and entered the Graduate School, earning a master's degree in global information technology leadership in 2011. He plans to graduate in May 2013 with a second master's, in global service.
Every step through his nearly eight years at ACU, Serge depended on the generosity of strangers to fund the scholarships that made his life-saving - his faith-saving - education possible.
That terrifying day in Rwanda "took my faith away," he said, showing photos of the Ntarama Church memorial, which features shelf after shelf of victims' skulls and thousands of blood-stained garments hanging from the rafters. "I couldn't believe how God would let something like that happen in His church. I couldn't believe how people who went to church with you would come back and kill you."
The first seven years of his life, Serge's home village was a happy mixture of Tutsi and Hutu, the two dominant tribes in Rwanda. Serge and his family were Tutsi, but they frequently shared meals, possessions and songs with their Hutu neighbors.
Yet not all was idyllic.
The decades-old uneasiness between the minority Tutsi, who dominated the majority Hutu until a coup overthrew the Tutsi monarchy in 1959, erupted in the early 1990s, when the exiled Tutsi army invaded from Uganda, sparking a civil war.
Serge knew none of this. But he knew Tutsi schoolteachers suddenly had become rare, and their Hutu replacements were increasingly focused on the differences between the two tribes. Schoolyard violence increased.
Hutus began holding secret meetings, Serge said. And by 1994, events had clearly taken a darker turn.
"We used to see kids in our village training how to kill very fast," he said, demonstrating by running his finger along his throat where the children were trained to use their machetes for maximum blood loss.
At about 6 p.m. on April 6, 1994, the radio reported that the Rwandan president, a Hutu, had been killed when his plane was shot down as it attempted to land at the airport in Kigali, Rwanda's capital. Many observers now believe radical Hutus orchestrated the assassination to provide a spark for the violence to follow.
"When I heard the president died, I was jumping," Serge said. " 'That's good. He's been abusing our tribe a long time.' My grandmother said, 'No. There's something big and horrible that's going to happen after this.' "
Fueled by years of racist propaganda and at the instigation of state-run radio, average Hutu citizens joined the Hutu-led army and militias in fanning throughout the country, seeking to purify Rwanda of any remaining trace of the Tutsi tribe.
Unaware of these developments, Serge awoke the next morning and walked outside at 5 a.m. to make his daily 10-mile walk to get water for his family. On his way down the street, he met a neighbor.
"Where are you going?" the neighbor asked. "Are you crazy or stupid?"
"He got angry in a way I'd never seen," Serge said. "He said, 'Go back home right now and tell your grandmother they're killing people in the street. Tell her to get ready and move.' "
By 9 a.m., the streets of Ntarama were packed with evacuees, a single phrase on their lips: "The killers are coming."
"Everyone came toward the church," Serge said. "Their mind was like, 'Who can do anything bad to you inside the church?' "
The Ntarama Catholic Church is not large - a brick building designed to hold no more than 500 parishioners in a single service. Serge grew up a member of the congregation. He and his friends would sit on the front row, especially when visiting European preachers led the service. Sometimes they would receive presents - trinkets such as a tennis ball treated as priceless by the neighborhood kids. Yet the children would ask for one more favor - to touch the preacher's white skin.
The plain wooden backless pews sit in two rows, split by a center aisle. Pictures of the church reveal it as it would have stood any day before April 1994 - quaint, quiet and traditional - except now the altar holds several dozen skulls bearing the marks of their deaths: chips, dents, even an occasional stick or spear point protruding from the bone.
On the third day inside the church, the attack came swiftly.
"All of a sudden, what I remember, I heard people screaming and kids crying," Serge said. "People were trying as hard as they could to get to the altar. The blast of grenades coming, coming."
Among those striving for the supposedly saving shelter of the altar were Serge and his grandmother. An instant later, Serge stood alone.
"I have a very, very good memory," he said. "That's what is haunting me now. I remember every single thing."
'Making a difference'
Fourteen years after the genocide, Serge returned home. He was a senior at ACU, and it was his first trip back since he had left for college nearly four years earlier.
The genocide still was taking its toll; the pervasive rape that had occurred alongside the murders led to an AIDS epidemic, leaving orphaned a wave of children who had not even been born when the genocide occurred.
Neither the children nor their caregivers could afford access to health care. For an American, however, the cost was incredibly cheap - just $2 per child at the time.
Struck by the opportunity to make a real difference for the next generation of Rwandans, Serge and his wife, Esperance, began giving, starting with $150, enough to provide insurance for 75 Rwandan children.
Soon, congregants at Southern Hills Church of Christ, where the Gasores are members, began asking how they could help. Together, Serge and the church now provide health insurance for as many as 1,000 children each year. To manage the money and sustain the donations, Serge began Ejo Hazaza ("The Future of Tomorrow") Foundation, which he manages.
Meanwhile, some friends in Rwanda have begun working to open a health clinic and training center for children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. Serge also helps with that project by raising money, and he might take over the clinic after he graduates.
"Something that wakes me up at night is to make a difference," he said. "Anything I do, regardless, it will be making a difference."
The difference Serge has made - and continues to make - in the lives of Rwandan children is the direct result of the difference made in his own life by the generosity of ACU's alumni and friends.
Serge came to ACU on a track scholarship and continued his education with additional donor-funded grants. He could never have attended ACU otherwise.
"I used to think humans were created evil," he said. "That was my conclusion from the genocide. Coming to this university, it changed me."
Professors took time to work with him one-on-one to help him understand the course work as he struggled to learn English. At Southern Hills, he felt welcomed as members invited him to small groups and Bible studies. He was baptized there in 2006.
"When I got here, it was all about me," Serge said. "My second semester, I realized it wasn't. It's about the people around me. That happens when you go to ACU."
That other-directed focus now defines Serge's life. He recounts his story, he says, not because he wants pity but because he wants others to learn from it - to ask, in his words: "In my situation, what can I do to change the world?"
As Serge does his part to change the world, he said he is keenly aware that he is not alone. Among his supporters are people he's never met - those who made his education possible.
"I don't know how I can say thank you," he said. "I will take it as a failure if I don't contribute to other people's lives. Some people have paid money so I can be a role model and help others. I feel like I should help as much as I can.
"They helped me, someone they don't know. They've made a difference in my life, and now I'm making a difference in these kids' lives, and that was not going to happen without their donations."
To make a difference in the lives of others across the globe through students like Serge, make a gift today.

The Stetson lacrosse team came out firing Thursday night, putting a season high 11 goals in the net during a 15-11 loss to Old Dominion at the Athletic Training Center. The Hatters out scored and outshot the Monarchs in the second half, but ODU's six goal-lead at halftime was too much to overcome.
After Old Dominion jumped out to an early 5-0 advantage, freshman Christina Wittmeier gave the Hatters their first goal of the night with an unassisted score at the 21 minute mark of the first half. Wittmeier's goal was the first of three straight Stetson scores, as freshman Christina Loya and sophomore Paige Levesque each put the ball in the net during a six-minute stretch to make it 5-3 Monarchs.
Old Dominion answered the Hatter rally with six straight goals of its own, making it 11-3 with less than three minutes remaining in the half. Two quick scores by Levesque and freshman Ana Baranowski closed the ODU margin to 11-5 at the break.
Following intermission the Stetson defense went to work, holding the Monarchs scoreless nine minutes into the second half, when they netted three goals in a two-minute stretch. It was Stetson though, that would do the majority of the scoring in the second frame. Head Coach Nicole Moore's squad surged back, putting the ball in the net a total of six times during the final 30 minutes. Unassisted scores by Maylis Broderick, Sam Maguire and Danielle Horgan highlighted the action as Broderick added another goal with less than a minute remaining to make it 15-11 ODU.
The Hatters had seven different players score goals Thursday evening, with four netting a pair of scores. Horgan, Levesque, Loya and Broderick each scored two in the defeat. Horgan and Levesque both took a team high five shots, while Loya and Baranowski added three. Baranowski, Loya, Lindsay Summers and Mary Kate O'Sullivan all earned assists.
Stetson won the majority of the draw controls in the game (15-11), and converted on more free position shots than the Monarchs (4-2). The Hatters' 13 shots in the second half were two more than Old Dominion's 11 and SU's 13 total clears were just one less than Old Dominion's 14.
The 11 goals scored by the Hatters surpassed their previous high this season of five, which they scored against Cincinnati. Their offensive output was the third most in school history. In goal, sophomore Caili Guilday made 10 stops for Stetson. Guilday and Wittmeier both lead the team in ground balls for the game with five apiece.
Stetson next takes the field against Holy Cross, this Sunday, March 2, at 1 p.m. at the ATC. Video will be available on HatterVision. Live Stats, the @StetsonLacrosse Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts will also be available for in-game updates.

Meeting identifies area poverty issues
Forum planned to bring business, government, others together
January 22, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Life is complicated and if you live in poverty, life becomes that much more complicated, a frustrated Paul Darnauer said Monday during a community meeting to plan a regional forum to......
I just want to say this. 1. Yes, I am on disability. 2. I do NOT plan on staying on it forever. 3.I do not drink, smoke or do drugs, never have! Honestly, the hatred of some of you people on here for those less fortunate is disgusting! Attitudes like this are probably why that poor man killed himself behind Wal Mart the other day. Most people who are using government benefits don't want to be on them, and don't plan on using them for the rest of their life, just until they get on their feet again.

Not everyone facing issues within the poverty level smoke, drink ect. My family was stricken with my husband almost passing away from a bile rupture and found himself needing numerous surgeries for a year. Unable to work and was the main source of our income and we had three children at home. Our world was turned upside down and having never been in such a situation it was tough knowing what to do, where to turn, how to get help until we got over this hump. It truly saddens me that people's perspective is always instantly negative as to why someone needs help. It's not only adults that find themselves walking into their job only to be laid off or the doors are closing, but children with no food or shelter, senior citizens unable to pay rent or housing and still get food and medications. Yes my husband and I have traveled abroad to other poverty stricken areas doing missionary work. It is heart breaking and bad conditions that we may not see in the open in our areas but it is here.

As I said, life is simpler, not more complicated, when one is this kind of poverty stricken. No bills to worry about. You get one of those little cards to use to buy things. You can't afford a car or insurance so there are no repair bills or gas worries. You get a tax refund even though you paid no taxes. You get free this and free that. All you have to truly worry about is where your cigarette and liquor money is coming from. Want to see poverty? Visit Haiti. Meals from garbage dumps, no possibility of legitimate work, and durty water to drink. This here is a job security program for social workers.

Why is life more complicated if one lives in poverty? On the contrary, life is simpler. No cell phones, no computers, no TVs, no cars, no home heating worries, to name a few. Want more? I got a list of about 200. Or are we not truly talking POVERTY when the word POVERTY is bandied about by these social worker types?

Since last year, we planned on trying snowshoeing at Byrncliff Resort and Conference Center in Varysburg. Lacking snow, we never went.
While this winter has also been sketchy, we were able to visit after the recent storms – and hopefully will again before the season ends.
A popular golf course during the summer, Byrncliff in winter has 12 miles of excellent, groomed cross-country skiing trails.
We, however, were interested in something less slippery to banish the winter blues. A vigorous workout was an added bonus, as Wyoming County's hills provided plenty of challenges.
Meeting up with friend Joe in East Aurora, we carpooled to Byrncliff, a straight shot out 20A. After crossing Route 77, Byrncliff is almost immediately on the right.
We arrived late afternoon to take advantage of one of Byrncliff's special packages (more on this later). In our case, it was the Weekend Ski (or Snowshoe) Package that included equipment rental, unlimited skiing or snowshoeing and dinner– all for $38. With your own equipment, it's $26.
After filling out a little paperwork, we got our equipment. For snowshoeing, guests can wear their own boots or use Byrncliff's ski boots and poles (which aren't required for snowshoeing).
Five miles of Byrncliff's trails are lighted for night activity. However, a worker recommended we go to the unlit hillside, as it was still light out, plus it was the location of the main snowshoe trail. We grabbed a map, strapped on our shoes and headed out to find the trail.
But where was it?
The map and trail markers were a little confusing, and the white signs with black lettering were difficult to see.
We looked for a big "Enter Here" sign to Irish Mist (the snowshoe trail), but never discovered its starting point. Instead we followed footprints. That worked.
Ski trails appeared to be marked with colored sticks, but, as novices, we never figured out the system. Snowshoeing is permitted along these trails, or off the trails completely (we were warned to watch for the ponds).
Wyoming County's snowmobile trail also goes through Byrncliff. Despite the nearness of the paths and many riders we saw, we never felt in danger.
Our trek began enthusiastically, especially since it was frigid and moving kept us warm.
Heading into the woods, we found ourselves surrounded by spectacular scenery – trees coated with fluffy white snow, critter tracks here and there, and the quiet solitude of being outdoors in winter. We crunched over a bridge and noted a stream of water frozen midpour out of a pipe.
Our challenge came soon, as the trail took a steep turn upward. Halfway up we saw two skiers heading along a cross trail. In a flash the guy was above, then below us. His partner wasn't so lucky; she wiped out on the way down.
As we stopped to get our bearings, four more skiers approached. They, too, were having trouble following the trail signs, but like us they kept trekking along.
Bidding our goodbyes, we wound our way around just as the sun disappeared, with the only light coming from the snow's reflection. We loved snowshoeing in the darkened woods. It was an entirely different feel.
At the top of the trail, we stopped to take in the view. In the distance we could see windmills on the opposite hill, and below them, the lighted lodge. The best sight was behind us – the magnificent full moon coming up over the hill. Spectacular!
Working our way back down, we decided it was time for dinner. Leaving our gear back at the rental office area, we headed upstairs to eat.
While waiting for the hostess, I noticed an aerial photo of a farmhouse and barn. My grandparents had a similar picture of their farm in North Java. Turns out the farm pictured once occupied the land that Byrncliff now resides on.
Dinner selections with our package were limited, yet really nice. Dinners come with a salad, rolls, coffee/tea and after-dinner cordial. Our waitress was excellent. We devoured two broiled fish and a prime rib dinner (Saturdays only). Drinks are extra and of course, gratuity is not included. Nonetheless, we thought the package of rentals, unlimited snowshoeing and dinner a bargain at $38 per person!
Fortified, we headed back out to the lighted side of the hill. We found the going a little easier, and had to laugh at the trail names. A bartender must been consulted – Gin Fizz, Rusty Nail, Rum Runner, Old Fashioned – you get the idea. The map shows the degree of difficulty, with Shaker Run and Grasshopper being the easiest.
As the temperature plummeted, so did our enthusiasm, yet the shorter post-meal trek was a nice way to end the day. If we weren't so wiped out, we would have stayed for the live band that was playing in the busy bar (Saturdays through February).
If the snow will only last a little longer this year, we'd like to make it out there again soon.
If you go
Byrncliff Resort & Conference Center, 2357 Humphrey Road, Varysburg (585-535-7300; www.byrncliff.com).

Call ahead or check online to view the snow report.
Rates for all activities also can be found online. There are individual fees for trail (with your own equipment) and trail/rental fees for just skiing or snowshoeing. In addition to our special weekend ski/dinner package, there is a Two-for-One Ski (or Snowshoe) Package that runs Tuesday-Thursday, with rental and dinner, $50 per couple. Tuesday night is Ladies Night, with half-price ski trail fees and rentals, two dinners for $25 and $3 well drinks.
Overnight packages are also available. A Weekend Overnighter package includes two nights lodging, three days of unlimited skiing or snowshoeing, rentals, two dinners, one breakfast and a Sunday brunch for $250 per person. There is different pricing for children.
More to do
• East Aurora is a great meet-up location. We grabbed coffee and hot chocolate at Taste (634 Main St.) on the way home. We thought about having the S'mores for Two, but ended up going to Swirls Cupcakery instead.
• Make a day of it in Wyoming County. Weather permitting, sleigh rides are available at nearby Hidden Valley Animal Adventure (next dates are next Sunday and March 3) and at Wolcott Farms (www.wolcottfarms.com).
• Maple Weekends (March 16-17; 23-24) are around the corner. A morning of maple sugaring followed by snowshoeing and dinner would be fantastic. Locations in Wyoming County can be found at www.mapleweekend.com.

The Ignacio High School boys basketball team won every quarter but the fourth.
And that was plenty.
The Bobcats beat Paonia 66-49 on Friday night to easily advance to the Class 2A Region 3 title game, where a win will land them in the CHSAA Class 2A Boys State Championships� elite eight.
Credit Paonia�s Ben Linnell for the final-frame margin compression at Durango High School.
Linnell scored half of the Ealges� fourth-quarter points, but that wasn�t unusual � his 25 points led all scorers and made up more than half of Paonia�s total.
In fact, his beyond-the-arc jumper was about the only thing the Bobcats couldn�t stop Friday. Linnell scored 18 of his points from 3-point range.
�I don�t usually jump very high on my 3s, and I was doing that (Friday),� Linnell said. �And they went in.�
�Very high� doesn�t really do Linnell�s hops justice. He practically jumped over the IHS defense, once the Bobcats figured out they needed to keep him covered.
�You don�t meet a lot of kids who jump out the gym and shoot the ball down at the rim,� IHS head coach Chris Valdez said.
But the Eagles didn�t get much else against Ignacio�s rugged post defense, which Valdez credited for his team�s rout.
Justin Carver, Adison Jones, Austin Haire and Kelton Richmond played the rotating door down low, getting pushy with the Eagles� big men and shutting down their inside-out game.
In the first quarter, Paonia didn�t score a single point from the paint.
�We played with good intensity,� Wyatt Hayes said.
�Defense was the whole key,� Adison Jones said. �We forced them into some turnovers.�
Maybe not the whole key: The Bobcats scored plenty of points, too.
Paonia had no answer for the versatile Jones, who had defenders popping up all over the place down low, then had them staring when he launched from beyond the 3-point line.
Jones finished with a team-high 16 points, including three 3s after halftime.
�First half, just getting used to the gym, and then the second half, I just came on,� he said.
Richmond �busted the board for a dozen� more, as Valdez explained Richmond�s propensity to use the glass down low, and Carver added 12, too.
Clayton Jefferson went 6-for-6 from the foul line and finished with nine points.
�Inside-out (play), hit some 3 pointers, try to get some post-ups,� Valdez said. �A little bit of everything.�
The Bobcats leapt to a quick 14-4 lead in the first quarter, spurred by Hayes� 3-pointer to open scoring.
And that 3-0 score was as close as Paonia ever would get to Ignacio.
By halftime, Ignacio led 32-16, and the Bobcats rode Jones� big third quarter to a 20-point lead after three quarters.
�We just weren�t hustling on defense,� Linnell said.
The Bobcats (19-5) will play Lutheran (17-5), who beat Sargent 68-24 in the other semifinal.
The regional championship game will be played at 2:30 p.m. today at DHS.
