Tightlines UVenko 5" 8pk - $5.99
The Tight Lines UVenko features Ultimate Vision, an ultraviolet UV vision enhancer that is focused on the wavelength of light that Bass use the most to search out their prey, but is transparent to anglers' eyes. With the development of Ultimate Vision, research has concluded that Bass see ultraviolet colors and respond 3- to 7-times better to UV colors over traditional colors. From this testing, Tight Lines has developed the next generation of colors to imitate the food source that Bass focus on. Featuring breakthrough colors that filter light the same way that Bass see crawfish, worms, minnows, bluegill and other bait fish, the Tight Lines UVenko takes stick bait performance to the next level.
Length | Quantity |
5" | 8 |
Comments: I used-up my bag of 8 "craw" color, (must be a dis-continued color in these worms) the bass didn't seem to mind the funny smell, I was using them wacky-rigged, with a nail weight in one end. Throwing into pads, or out into open water, the bass hit these things like they were pissed off! On five trips to the lake they scored 20 to ONE, twenty fish for my UVenkos to ONE for the other guys using everything in their tacklebox

Comments: Good action in the water seems to be pretty durable. Downside is these things smell like glue, having a hard time covering it up with bang attractant.

Slavery among Native Americans in the United States
This entry relies on one questionable source for at least 66 inline citations. (July 2013) |
Slavery among Native Americans in the United States includes slavery by Native Americans as well as slavery of Native Americans roughly within the present-day United States. Tribal territories and the slave trade ranged over present-day borders. Some Native American tribes held war captives as slaves prior to and during European colonization, some Native Americans were captured and sold by others into slavery to Europeans, and a small number of tribes, in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, adopted the practice of holding slaves as chattel property and held increasing numbers of African-American slaves.
Pre-contact forms of slavery were generally distinct from the form of chattel slavery developed by Europeans in North America during the colonial period.[2] European influence greatly changed slavery used by Native Americans. As they raided other tribes to capture slaves for sales to Europeans, they fell into destructive wars among themselves, and against Europeans.[2]
Native American slavery[edit]
Traditions of Native American slavery[edit]
Many Native American tribes practiced some form of slavery before the European introduction of African slavery into North America; but none exploited slave labor on a large scale.[2]
Native American groups often enslaved war captives whom they primarily used for small-scale labor.[2] Some, however, were used in ritual sacrifice.[2] While little is known, there is little evidence that the slaveholders considered the slaves as racially inferior; they came from other Native American tribes and were casualties of war.[2] Native Americans did not buy and sell captives in the pre-colonial era, although they sometimes exchanged enslaved individuals with other tribes in peace gestures or in exchange for redeeming their own members.[2] The word "slave" may not accurately apply to such captive people.[2] Most of these so-called Native American slaves tended to live on the fringes of Native American society and were slowly integrated into the tribe.[2]
In many cases, new tribes adopted captives to replace warriors killed during a raid.[2] Warrior captives were sometimes made to undergo ritual mutilation or torture that could end in death as part of a grief ritual for relatives slain in battle.[2] Some Native Americans would cut off one foot of captives to keep them from running away. Others allowed enslaved male captives to marry the widows of slain husbands.[2] The Creek, who engaged in this practice and had a matrilineal system, treated children born of slaves and Creek women as full members of their mothers' clans and of the tribe, as property and hereditary leadership passed through the maternal line. The children did not have slave status.[2] More typically, tribes took women and children for captives for adoption, as they tended to adapt more easily into new ways.
Several tribes held captives as hostages for payment.[2] Various tribes also practiced debt slavery or imposed slavery on tribal members who had committed crimes; full tribal status would be restored as the enslaved worked off their obligations to the tribal society.[2] Other slave-owning tribes of North America included Comanche of Texas, the Creek of Georgia; the fishing societies, such as the Yurok, who lived in Northern California; the Pawnee, and the Klamath.[3]
When the Europeans "discovered" the Native Americans, they began to participate in the slave trade.[4] Native Americans, in their initial encounters with the Europeans, attempted to use their captives from enemy tribes as a "method of playing one tribe against another" in an unsuccessful game of divide and conquer.[4]
The Haida and Tlingit who lived along southeast Alaska's coast were traditionally known as fierce warriors and slave-traders, raiding as far as California.[5][6] In their society, slavery was hereditary after slaves were taken as prisoners of war.[5][6] Among some Pacific Northwest tribes, as many as one-fourth of the population were slaves.[5][6]
European enslavement[edit]
European colonists caused a change in Native American slavery, as they created a new demand market for captives of raids.[2] For decades, the colonies were short of workers. Especially in the southern colonies, initially developed for resource exploitation rather than settlement, colonists purchased or captured Native Americans to be used as forced labor in cultivating tobacco, and, by the eighteenth century, rice, and indigo.[2] To acquire trade goods, Native Americans began selling war captives to whites rather than integrating them into their own societies.[2]
The West Indies developed as plantation societies prior to the Chesapeake Bay region and had a demand for labor. Colonists in the South began to capture and enslave Native Americans for sale and export to the "sugar islands," as well as to northern colonies.[2] The resulting Native American slave trade devastated the southeastern Native American populations and transformed tribal relations throughout the Southeast.[2] In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the English at Charles Town (South Carolina), the Spanish in Florida, and the French in Louisiana sought trading partners and allies among the Native Americans by offering trade goods such as metal knives and axes, firearms and ammunition, liquor and beads, and cloth and hats in exchange for furs (deerskins) and Native American slaves.[2] Traders, frontier settlers, and government officials encouraged Native Americans to make war on other tribes to reap the profits of the slaves captured in such raids or to weaken the warring tribes.[2]
Historians have estimated that tens of thousands of Native Americans were enslaved.[2] It is estimated that Carolina traders operating out of Charles Town shipped an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 Native American captives between 1670 and 1715 in a profitable slave trade with the Caribbean, Spanish Hispaniola, and Northern colonies.[2] Because it was more profitable {{<--Explain/clarify-->}} to have Native American slaves, whites in the Northern colonies sometimes preferred Native American slaves, especially Native women and children, to Africans.[2] Prior to 1720, when it ended the Native American slave trade, Carolina exported as many or more Native American slaves than it imported Africans.[2] The usual exchange rate of captive Native Americans for enslaved Africans during this time period was two or three Native Americans to one African.[2] In the Southwest, Spanish colonists and Native Americans sold or traded slaves at many of the trade fairs along the Rio Grande.[2]
Slave traders preferred captive Native Americans who were under eighteen years old, as they were believed to be more easily trained to new work.[7] In the Illinois Country, French colonists baptized as Catholics Native American slaves whom they bought for labor.[7] They believed it essential to convert Native Americans to the Catholic faith.[7] Church baptismal records have thousands of entries for Indian slaves.[2][7]
In the Spanish colonies, the church assigned Spanish surnames to Native Americans and recorded them as servants rather than slaves.[7] Many members of Native American tribes in the West would be taken against their will for life as slaves.[7] In the East, Native Americans were recorded as slaves.[8]
Many early laborers, including from Africa, entered the colonies as indentured servants and could be free after paying off passage. Slavery was associated with people who were non-Christian and non-European. In 1705, the Virginia General Assembly defined some terms:
"All servants imported and brought into the Country. . . who were not Christians in their native Country. . . shall be accounted and be slaves. All Negro, mulatto and Indian slaves within this dominion. . . shall be held to be real estate. If any slave resists his master. . . correcting such slave, and shall happen to be killed in such correction. . . the master shall be free of all punishment. . . as if such accident never happened." – Virginia General Assembly declaration, 1705.[9]
In 1758 the governor of South Carolina James Glen wrote:
"It has always been the policy of this government to create an aversion in them Indians to Negroes."[10]
This was to discourage alliances between the Africans and Native Americans, but they made their own choices.
Slavery in Indian Territory across the United States used slaves for many purposes from work in the plantations of the East, to guides across the wilderness, to work in deserts of the West, and to be soldiers in wars. Native American slaves suffered new European diseases, inhumane treatment, and death.[8]
The dominance of the Native American slave trade lasted only until around 1730, when it led to a series of devastating wars among the tribes.[2] Before 1700, the Westos in Carolina dominated much of the Native American slave trade until the English, allied with the Savannah, who resented Westo control of the trade, wiped them out.[2] The Westo tribal group was completely eliminated; its survivors were scattered or else sold into slavery in Antigua.[2] Those Native Americans nearer the European settlements raided tribes farther into the interior in the quest for slaves to be sold, especially to the British.[2]
A similar pattern of friendly and then hostile relations among the English and Native Americans followed in the southeastern colonies.[2] For example the Creek, a loose confederacy of many different groups who had banded together to defend themselves against slave-raiding, allied with the English and moved on the Apalachee in Spanish Florida, destroying them as a group of people in the quest for slaves.[2] These raids also destroyed several other Florida tribes, including the Timucua.[2] Most of the colonial-era Native Americans of Florida were killed, enslaved, or scattered.[2] It is estimated that English-Creek raids on Florida yielded 4,000 Native American slaves between 1700 and 1705.[2] A few years later, the Shawnee raided the Cherokee in similar fashion.[2] In North Carolina, the Tuscarora, fearing among other things that the English planned to enslave them as well as take their land, attacked the English in a war that lasted from 1711 to 1713.[2] In this war, Carolina whites, aided by the Yamasee, completely vanquished the Tuscarora, taking thousands of captives as slaves.[2] Within a few years, a similar fate befell the Yuchis and the Yamasee, who had fallen out of favor with the British.[2] In Mississippi and Tennessee the Chickasaw played both the French and British against each other, and preyed on the Choctaw, who were traditional allies of the French, as well as the Arkansas, the Tunica, and the Taensa, establishing slave depots throughout their territories.[2] A single Chickasaw raid in 1706 on the Choctaw yielded 300 Native American captives for the English.[2] The French armed the Natchez tribe, who lived on the banks of the Mississippi, and the Illinois against the Chickasaw.[2] By 1729, the Natchez, along with a number of enslaved and runaway Africans who lived among them, rose up against the French. An army composed of French soldiers, Choctaw warriors, and enslaved Africans defeated them.[2]
The Indian wars of the early 18th century, combined with the growing availability of African slaves, essentially ended the Native American slave trade by 1750.[2] Numerous colonial slave traders had been killed in the fighting, and the remaining Native American groups banded together, more determined to face the Europeans from a position of strength rather than be enslaved.[2] Many of the Native American remnant tribes joined confederacies such as the Choctaw, the Creek, and the Catawba for protection, making them less easy victims of European slavers.[2]
Native American women, whether free or enslaved, were at risk of rape by European colonists.[11] Both Native American and African-American slaves were at risk of sexual abuse by slaveholders and other white men with power.[11][12]
Slavery in California[edit]
Slavery of Native Americans was organized in colonial and Mexican California through Franciscan missions, theoretically entitled to ten years of Native labor, but in practice maintaining them in perpetual servitude, until their charge was revoked in the mid-1830s. Following the 1847–1848 invasion by U.S. troops, Native Californians were enslaved in the new state from statehood in 1850 to 1867.[13] Slavery required the posting of a bond by the slave holder and enslavement occurred through raids and a four-month servitude imposed as a punishment for Indian "vagrancy".[14]
Native American adaptation of African slaves[edit]
The earliest record of African and Native American contact occurred in April 1502, when Spanish explorers brought an African slave with them and encountered a band.[16]
Native Americans interacted with enslaved Africans and African Americans in every way possible.[2] In the early colonial days, Native Americans were enslaved along with Africans, and both often worked with European indentured laborers.[2][17] "They worked together, lived together in communal quarters, produced collective recipes for food, shared herbal remedies, myths and legends, and in the end they intermarried."[18] Because both races were non-Christian, Europeans considered them other and inferior to Europeans. They worked to make enemies of the two groups. In some areas, Native Americans began to slowly absorb white culture.[2]
Benjamin Hawkins, Superintendent of the tribes south of the Ohio River from the late eighteenth century through the early nineteenth, encouraged the major Southeast tribes to adopt chattel slavery in order to have labor for plantations and large-scale agricultural production, as part of their assimilation of European-American ways.[10] The Five Civilized Tribes adopted some practices which they saw as beneficial; they were working to get along with the Americans and to keep their territory. The Cherokee was the tribe that held the most slaves. In 1809, they held nearly 600 enslaved blacks.[2] This number increased to almost 1,600 in 1835, and to around 4,000 by 1860, after they had removed to Indian Territory.[2] Cherokee populations for these dates are: 12,400 in 1809;, 16,400 in 1835; and 21,000 in 1860.[2] The proportion of Cherokee families who owned slaves did not exceed ten percent, and was comparable to the percentage among white families across the South, where a slaveholding elite owned most of the laborers.[2] In the 1835 census, only eight percent of Cherokee households contained slaves, and only three Cherokee owned more than 50 slaves.[2] Joseph Vann had the most, owning 110 like other major planters.[2] Of the Cherokee who owned slaves, 83 percent held fewer than 10 slaves.[2] Of the slave-owning families, 78 percent claimed some white ancestry.[2]
In 1827 the Cherokee developed a constitution, which was part of their acculturation. It prohibited slaves and their descendants (including mixed-race) from owning property, selling goods or produce to earn money; and marrying Cherokee or European Americans. It imposed heavy fines on slaveholders if their slaves consumed alcohol.[2] No African Americans, even if free and of partial Cherokee heritage, could vote in the tribe.[2] If a mother was of partial African descent, her children could not vote in the tribe, regardless of the father's heritage.[2] Such laws reflected state slavery laws in the Southeast, but Cherokee laws did not impose as many restrictions on slaves nor were they strictly enforced.[2]
The writer William Loren Katz suggests that Native Americans treated their slaves better than European Americans in the Southeast.[19] Federal Agent Hawkins considered the form of slavery the tribes were practicing to be inefficient because the majority didn't practice chattel slavery.[10] Travelers reported enslaved Africans "in as good circumstances as their masters."[19] A white Indian Agent, Douglas Cooper, upset by the Native Americans failure to practice a harsher form of bondage, insisted that Native Americans invite white men to live in their villages and "control matters."[19] Katz thought that slaveholding contributed to divisiveness among tribes of the Southeast and promoted a class hierarchy based on "white blood."[19] Historians such as Greg O'Brien believe that class division was related more to the fact that several of the leadership clans accepted mixed-race chiefs, who were first and foremost on these tribes, and promoting assimilation or accommodation.
In the nineteenth century, European Americans began to migrate west from the coastal areas, and, despite treaties, encroach on tribal lands. Bands along the frontier, in closer contact with traders and settlers, tended to become more assimilated, often led by chiefs who believed they needed to change to accommodate a new society. Some mixed-race chiefs had family relationships to elected American officials. Others were educated in American schools, to learn their language and culture. These were the most likely to become slaveholders and adopt other European practices. Others of their people, often located at more of a distance, held to more traditional practices. Cultural divisions were the cause of the Creek Wars (1812–1813), and other Southeast tribes suffered similar tensions.
With the US increasing pressure for Indian Removal, tensions became higher. Some chiefs believed removal was inevitable and wanted to negotiate the best terms possible to preserve tribal rights, such as the Choctaw Greenwood LeFlore. Others believed they should resist losing ancestral lands.[2] For instance, members of the Cherokee Treaty Party, who believed removal was coming, negotiated cessions of land which the rest of the tribe repudiated.[2] This conflict was carried to Indian Territory, where opponents assassinated some of the signatories of the land cession treaty, for alienating communal land. The tensions among the Native Americans of the Southeast was principally about land and assimilation rather than slavery. Most chiefs agreed that armed resistance was futile.[2] The Five Civilized Tribes all took their African-American slaves with them to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) during removal.
American Civil War[edit]
Traditionalist groups, such as Pin Indians and the intertribal Four Mothers Society, were outspoken opponents of slavery during the Civil War.[20] The Five Civilized Tribes allied with the Confederates during the American Civil War, in part because they resented the US government's having forced them out of the Southeast. The Confederates suggested they might establish a Native American-controlled state if victorious, but their settlers had been the ones to push for Indian Removal.

Hello All,
I am having trouble with my air exchanger and I need a little info. I am trying to prepare for the winter in advance, so here's my problem. My intake vent for my air exchanger is too close to the ground for the amount of snow I get around my house. The vent sucks in snow and it melts in the vent line before it reaches the air exchanger. This causes a leak onto my basement floor. I am in the process of finishing my basement with a reckroom, but I can't do anything with my ceiling until I fix this problem. Does anybody know where I can get some sort of attachment to raise the vent up 3 or 4 feet on the outside of my house?
It sounds like the vent was installed incorrectly. Was it there when you moved in or did you have it installed? If you are having problems in your basement this is pretty serious and I would have contacted the previous owners lawyer with some kind request for compensation for damages or gone after the installer to come back and re do properly and to have them pay for the basement damage too. The vent should be installed 3-4 feet from the ground, I'm not sure if this is Building Code or plain common sense but all homes that I have seen that have air exchanges have the vents at this height.
Get an estimate from a few heating companies, I don't think this is a part you can pick up at Rona or Canadian Tire.

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Criminals who intend to target the Covington Housing Authority had better think twice: There will be an increased police presence there thanks to an agreement reached to hire off-duty officers to work security.
Police Chief Stacey Cotton notified the Covington City Council at its Sept. 6 meeting that Housing Authority Director Greg Williams requested the arrangement due to an increase in criminal activity at the complex off Alcovy Road.
The Housing Authority will pay off-duty police officers to work in four-hour shifts during what are traditionally peak times for complaints, Cotton said. The officers will be paid $35 per hour by the Housing Authority.
Officers will be on foot, on golf carts and at times in vehicles. The Housing Authority will not pay for the use of CPD vehicles, but Cotton said they are needed because of the size of the complex and for safety.
"We benefit if we need to lock somebody in the car or if we need to stop a vehicle, we'll have the blue lights," he said.
As with all side jobs, the shifts will be posted in the Police Department and all officers will have an equal opportunity to work, Cotton said.
There is a recurring problem with trespassing by individuals who have been banned from the property due to past criminal acts. CPD officers will be on the lookout for those individuals and have the authority to ban others when warranted, he said. They will also work with residents to address their concerns.
The CPD previously had a precinct at the Housing Authority that was funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Funding was pulled a few years ago, and the precinct was closed.
"Obviously without our attention (the criminals) are out again," he said. But now, "If they're willing to fund it, we're willing to do it."
The council was not required to vote on the matter, but informally expressed support for the arrangement.
MeanMrMustard 2 years, 5 months ago
So, if the housing authority doesn't pay extra for police protection, they don't get ANY police protection at all through regular patrol? Is the location not in the city limits?

two 154 questionshi what position is the rear cylinder in when you put the cyl lock device on all the way up /down/or middle!!! im making it so, thats y im asking ,,need to no spacing of the 2 holes aprox,,,and has anyone installed a tack on the 154 fairly easy...thanx steve
Re: two 154 questionsI believe that the lock mechanism is supposed to only work when the arms are all the way up, so I'm not sure if that means the cylinder is fully extended or closed (never have looked that closely), but the only way it would make sense is with the 3-point arms all the way up.
There was a tach made for the earlier Cubs, but finding one now is difficult and very expensive if you do find one. It ran off of a gear in the distributor. I think that you could use an electronic tach with a digital display, it would just take some playing with to get the calibration correct. They're really just not that necessary with a Cub engine, since it only runs at about 2000 rpm at wide open throttle. 1951 Farmall Cub, Cub Cadets 102, 104, 1811, 1864, Simplicity Legacy XL 4x4 Diesel with FEL, 60" mower, 50" Tiller
Re: two 154 questionsLook at the pictures in the Owners Manual with it insalled. Looks like it is most of the way down, within an inch or so of the cylinder fully retracted.
Re: two 154 questionstractor runs good just wanted to see if its rpms are at what they should be,, seems kinda low.. on the lock if i use it, will it speed up the front or no.hopefully some one has one laying around to measure. hate to pay 28 bucks for something i can make in 5 mins out of scrap im tripping over thanx for input so far..steve
Re: two 154 questionsKawman,
See the attached picture - you should be able to estimate the locks length. The length is really not that critical, you can make it longer if you want the 3 point to sit at a higher elevation. Sorry that I can not measure it - my son lives 2,000 miles away and he is away on travel all week. Hope that the pic helps you, NJDale
Re: two 154 questionsthank you...steve
Re: two 154 questionsYes, using the lock should speed up the front cylinder, essentially forcing all of the fluid to go only to the front cylinder.

Re: two 154 questions
awsome thank you very much, you guys are great on this site...steve
Re: two 154 questionsActual distance between centers is probably not too important just that it is locked somewhere. The oil will fill the void and the other cylinder will work just fine. It's a closed system so my guess would be that you would want to lock the 3 pt in the up position for the best result.

James Van Der Beek is getting good at playing James Van Der Beek.
After spending a few years out of the limelight (and debatably in the "has-been" category), the Dawson's Creek star began his comeback in 2011 by capitalizing on his character's signature ugly cry. A year later, Van Der Beek is back at it, playing a smarmy yet extremely charming caricature of himself on ABC's Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23.
"We run with it," Van Der Beek tells TVGuide.com "Fake me goes on fake Dancing with the Stars. There's a sex tape me and Chloe (Krysten Ritter) make that gets released."

Houzz is the new way to design your home.
1,890 Everett, MA Appliance Manufacturers and Showrooms
As anyone who's ever tried to fix a broken garbage disposal or install a new microwave oven can tell you, sometimes hiring an appliance professional is worth every bit of the cost. Appliance problems can be time consuming for many homeowners to diagnose and repair, and a botched attempt can lead to bigger hassles and more money out of pocket. And with some appliances, such as ranges, grills and other pieces powered by gas, hiring a pro is a smart safety precaution. You can find more appliances in Boston, Cambridge, Lynn, Quincy and Newton. More

Forums >General Running>My last run was....
Barefoot Jeff
It's a Nathan 22 oz, and I don't even really like carrying it. I got a two bottle fuel belt for Christmas, but I think I would have a hard time wearing it even if it had four bottles. I guess just don't feel like a real runner yet. That's why I have the sling idea. I feel like it would make me feel like Daniel Boone or the guy from Last of the Mohicans.
I know what you mean. I have mostly been a TM runner, so hydration wasnt really an issue. I started running on trails/roads this fall, and even as my milage increased, often I didnt carry anything with me. I am still trying to figure out what I'll have to do as well. I guess like anything, we will try one idea, see where it failed and then improve for the next try.
RUN SAFE. Barefoot 1st attempt: 6/9/13.
SUN 4/27 Simsbury River Run 10K
5/25 Memorial Day FM 6/1 ING Iron Horse HM 10/11 Hartford ING FM 10/12 Rhinebeck Fall HM
I'll bite. 11.73km, a longish run for me. Warmer than the last few runs, or at least it seemed warmer because the wind has finally died down. My legs were a bit dead and my bad knee was sore from a mixture of the cold and hockey earlier. But overall it was nice, although a bit icy in spots.
'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher
"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
I use a mountainsmith water belt. I'm on my 3rd one. It has a coozie built in!
Not dead. Yet.
Those are kind of cool; much more "grrr" than the fuel belt. I might be able to hang with one. Thanks!
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
9.62 miles (9.63 seemed too far). New post-comeback distance PR!
the kenyan Yay!! Happy for you.
I ran a wonderful 10 miles this morning. Oh my goodness, what a gorgeous winter day!! It was cold, 15 degrees with wind. So the wind-chill was right around 0. But I was layered just fine and had a strong run. New running tip: keep your energy gels next to your body on very cold days. Otherwise they are nearly frozen, hard to eat and are not so pleasant when its only 17 out. Oh, also...I run past a big (super charming) sheep farm and there were lots of BABIES! So cute. 23 miles for the week. Yay.
*My Art Website *My Run For The Critters
1980 Humboldt Redwoods Marathon PRs: 5K 31 • 10K 1:09 • HM 2:43 • 74 "More Miles Than Degrees" Points
Upcoming: Memorial Day HM 5-25-14 | Fall Foliage HM 9-13-14
Felt practically like spring today - 26 degrees, feels like 16. Ran 14.1 miles, longest since my October marathon, looking towards another in April. Felt pretty good.
DaveP MI Outstanding run! Great job and glad you felt good.
This is a great quote, keeponrunning. Very appropriate for today, I had other obligations in the morning, otherwise I would have gone for a run outdoors before the slushy snow hit Chicago.
Today, it was plan B: 3 miles worth of interval running plus abominable er I mean, crunches for the abdominals. :-)
My local Y was having an open house, and the massage therapist was giving freebies. I had one. Great way to end a workout.
Madison Marathon 11/10/2013 5:05:50http://domgslis.blogspot.com/
I did 19km (about 12 miles) in the snow, my first long run from the official start of my marathon plan.
However I'm in a new city, so I kept getting lost in the park. it ended up being more of a run-walk event because of that, but at least I feel fine at the end :-). Hopefully the long run next week will be smoother.
way, way too long ago.
Did get in a nice 25 mile ride today though as it got up around 60
Hey All ! This antidepressant stuff is so great they should figure out a way to bottle it. Nah. We can just keep running and keep it to ourselves!!! OMG I feel great. Longest run of 2013 - 12.0miles. I was considering outdoors. I have enough gear and it was up to 28, but I kept procrastinating. So, I got on the TM and ran and ran and ran. I followed Melodys advice and took a gel at the start, because it had been a while since I ate last. Then I used my 4 Chomps spread out through the run. I did run out of water, but I'll fix that soon. Today was my LSD and it feels so good. Last LSD like this in Dec, I felt like crud, no hydration, no fueling. But this was so great! If it werent for some chaffing, Id do it again tomorrow -
15 miles 2 hr 28 min. Hat on hat off day.
JeffCT: WAY TO GO!! Been there, felt that but I get over the 'hump' around 3 or 4 miles and just want to keep running ........on trails, not on the TM which I can't wait to get off of, great therapy for mental 'toughness' though, haha!
NHLA: awesome time for that distance!!
Achilles tendons and knee loving another rest day; snow predicted tomorrow in northern MN; not a happy camper even before hitting the TM tomorrow .
PRs In my 50's: 5k=24:30; 10k trail=52:00;10 miler=1:23; HM=1:52; 25K Trail=2:40; FM=4:10

Disposal of Toxic Substances
Hazmat Tips
Start reading labels!
Before you buy a new product, read the label and figure out if you really need to use that strong a product.
Buy only the amount you'll need or share with a friend.
Follow directions for use and safely store where the product container can't capsize!
Try alternative products or methods of cleaning.
Schedule major maintenance work on land away from the water's edge (maybe during winter storage?)
Find your local "Household Hazardous Waste" collection days where you can safely dispose of this stuff. Check with your local public works department or check out
to find possibilities in your town.
Put some fuel booster product in outboard tanks in the fall to avoid having stale fuel in the spring.
This may be even more important to remember if you are running one of the newer engines,
which is not burning as much fuel.
Wherever possible, use less toxic propylene glycol antifreeze instead of ethylene glycol.
When launching your boat in the spring, see if you can capture the chemical instead of letting it
spew into the marina's waters. Your marina may be able to reuse or recycle it for you.

Plumasnews.com includes a sampling of stories that are featured in the weekly editions of Feather Publishing newspapers plus important breaking news as it happens. To get all the news that is important to Plumas County, subscribe to one of our weekly newspapers by calling 530-283-0800. |
Someday, Plumas County residents may drive on roads they helped create through a tire-recycling event scheduled Saturday, Nov. 6, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Plumas residents are encouraged to turn in old tires during the event at the Plumas County Department of Public Works office in East Quincy. Each resident can bring up to nine tires for recycling free of charge.
"Recent events collected 789 tires in the Graeagle area and 1,495 tires in the Indian Valley area. We are hoping for another great turnout. The Indian Valley community event was overwhelming, people were hauling tires in from the forest, the valley, the creeks as well as their neighbors' backyard," said Phyllis Taddei, fiscal officer and grant administrator.
"With every tire brought in, the community is doing their part for the environment, and not only keeping our county safe from the dangers and health hazards of stockpiled tires, but putting those tires to a better use."
Tires collected from the event may end up as rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) or tire-derived aggregate (TDA) in civil engineering projects throughout the county.
RAC is pavement material made with shredded scrap tires that is more durable, safer and quieter than traditional asphalt.
TDA is the second largest reuse of tires in the U.S. and helps solve a number of engineering problems where cost-effective lightweight and free-draining materials are needed.
CalRecycle, also known as the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, has just launched "Green Roads," a program to raise awareness about the products and promote their use throughout California.
To learn more about "Green Roads" and CalRecycle's efforts to keep waste tires out of landfills and stockpiles, visit PavingGreenRoads.com.

Macworld Expo keynote predictions poll posted
An iPhone would become attractive to me if it had a "You Are Here" button. Press it, and a map comes up, showing me where I am standing, and letting me bookmark locations, add waypoints, get directions, etc. from there. I suppose that assumes GPS-enabled iPhones. That'd be cool enough for me to shell out the money they want for it. |

LISBON - A paraplegic Lisbon woman has sued KLG after she was reportedly thrown from her wheelchair while riding in the company's ambulette.
In a lawsuit filed in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday, Laura Barnes is claiming she was not properly restrained on July 27, 2012 when she was being transported for medical treatment in KLG's unit eight ambulette. During the ride, Barnes claims she was ejected from her wheelchair onto the floor of the ambulette, causing her to slide up and under the seat in front of her.
The lawsuit notes the ambulette was not properly set up to secure her, the person operating it was not trained in securing her and as a result she suffered injuries. Barnes had to undergo additional medical treatment.
The lawsuit names KLG Mobile Intensive Co. LLC, care of statutory agent Karl L. Griggs, the company's owner. However, it does not name the person who actually transported her, referring to him only as John Doe.
She is seeking in excess of $25,000.

CHICKASHA –After more than 15 years, the Drovers have brought cross country back to USAO, led by head coach Leandra Johnson.Johnson has created a strong core of six female and five male runners who she expects to really begin impressing people this first year."Once we get training and meets keep going, I think all of our runners will step up," she said. "I expect a lot out of them."
The In the Saddle crew bring on a very special guest in a short In the Saddle promo to show you what to expect out of Drover athletics this season! Meet Dusty the Drover and hear inside his head on this special show!
In the Saddle will begin its fall shows on Aug. 23 with Coach Jimmy Hampton with USAO Soccer.
CHICKASHA – Richard Nixon was President of the United States. The Vietnam War was winding to a close. The Price is Right began challenging viewers name the price of regular household items. And Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" topped the charts. It was 1972, and the Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts began entertaining Chickasha as college athletics found its way to the community.
CHICKASHA – Coach Leandra Johnson has announced that open tryouts for USAO's new cross country team will be March 28.The tryouts are open to all USAO and high school students. Female athletes will be running a five kilometer — or 3.1 mile — course while male athletes will run an eight kilometer — or five mile — course."The two things I look for in recruits is that they are extremely hard working and have good character...
CHICKASHA – Assistant women's basketball coach Leandra Johnson said the Drover women adjusted to and responded well to the bad luck and difficulties the team experienced this season.
"They overcame it very well. They responded like adults would," Johnson said. "We came to practice every day and did what we were supposed to do, and we went and played."
Now with the season over, Johnson is looking into the off season to help...
CHICKASHA – In the Saddle has evolved over the years to become a fun face of USAO sports and a way for the community members to get to know the Drover athletes and coaches.
While USAO sports information director Jessica Jackson hosts the show, she gives credit to USAO video producer and Captain Video, David Duncan.
CHICKASHA – USAO will be adding to its six-sport base in fall of 2012 when it welcomes back cross country after 16 years, giving students a new opportunity to excel. USAO had several prospective students in the last year ask about a cross country team, which began the discussion, said Dr. Dexter Marble, vice president for academic affairs. "We thought it would be important to serve prospective students," Marble said...

Milky Way Simply Caramel BitesMars has been morselizing its candy bar line over the past couple of years. The new Milky Way Simply Caramel Unwrapped Bites are in the latest in the introduction cycle. They're just little unwrapped cube versions of the Milky Way Simply Caramel bar, served up in a bag for easy dispensing. I picked mine up at 7-11, which had a sale on their Mars Bites, the Sharing Size were 2 packages for $3.00. (I bought a Powerball for the Wednesday $400M drawing as well, bringing my tally to an exact $5. Yes, I'm aware that my odds are 1 in 175,223,510 of winning.) The bag holds 15 little cubes. That's two servings, as this is a Sharing Size. So each serving is 7 or 8 cubes which comes to 190 calories. If you're trying to moderate yourself, four would be 100 calories but trip up and eat the whole bag by accident, you're looking at 380. Mars has always made beautiful candy bars. (See this photo for evidence.) The new bites line, though, suffers from the packaging style. The little candies are not sealed like panned candies so they get scuffed and dented in the bag together. The pieces are well formed, they're cubes but most have little "feet" where the chocolate pooled. They're rather milky smelling, it's a sort of cereal and milk note. The chew is soft, the caramel is very smooth though it doesn't have the taffy-like toughness that I enjoy in my caramel, it does have good toffee and toasted sugar notes. The chocolate is passable, it's sweet and has a lot of dairy flavors, but it's not exceptionally chocolatey. (A dark version of these someday might be nice, but if I want that, I'll probably just have some Marich.) Overall, I was very pleased with these. They're easily poppable, satisfying in the sense that the textures and flavors were better than I expected. I didn't want to eat the whole bag in one sitting, but I did finish it in three days. I can imagine that the packaging won't do well in the summer months, and forget it if these get smashed a bit, because you'd be in for a huge mess inside the bag. They'd be easy to mix in with other things (like a Chex Mix for a really sweet & salty combo) or as an ice cream topper. Related Candies

Airheads BitesIt seems like most of the new products I've been reviewing are new morsel versions of existing items. (I'm still trying to get the trademark of Morselization.) Today I have Airheads Bites from Perfetti Van Melle. The category of candy known as Airheads has always been a bit of a curiosity for me. If you've never had them, they're small, flat bars of tangy chew. They're not taffy or a chew in the same sense as Starburst or Mentos. One of the main constituents is dextrose, which is the same stuff you find in SweeTarts. They really are just soft, chewy SweeTarts. They come in watermelon, blue raspberry, cherry, orange, and lemon. The ingredients are interesting:
I had to wonder, after looking at them, what makes them different from Skittles or Starburst? Well, they just are. The pieces are rounded and rather flat, so they don't roll around. The coating is shiny but more like a jelly bean's grainy sugar coating that's polished than the crunchy sugar shell of a Skittle. The real difference here is the center. It's pure Airhead. The chew is stiff and grainy but immediately flavorful. Orange is sweet at first then very tangy and descends into a pleasant and consistent grain before dissolving quickly. Watermelon is green and quite vibrant. Again, it starts sweet and then gets tart and slightly more artificial. They all dissolve away very quickly. Blue Raspberry starts very floral and doesn't get as sour as they others, but is more like a bubble gum flavor. Lemon is yellow and is weird at first, with a strong household cleaner note that then becomes a rather standard lemonade mix flavor. Cherry is quite normal and reminded me a lot of Life Savers. It reminded me that I'm getting to like cherry more than I did 10 years ago. Overall, they are tasty little bits and far easier to eat than the ordinary Airheads bars. I liked the flavor diversity in the single package. I found mine at 7-11, so they're out in stores now. They come in another version called Airheads Bites Berry. I was sorry to see that these were not for vegetarians (gelatin). I was also a little surprised to see that they're made in China, as the factory for Airheads is in Kentucky. Maybe they're just trying out the product and will make them locally if they're a hit. There was also no mention of allergens on the label, so I don't know about gluten for those concerned.

Starburst Sweet FiestaStarburst come in a myriad of flavor packs these days. I picked up a few of the less common flavors at some convenience stores recently. The Starburst Sweet Fiesta has been out for a few years. At first I thought it was a limited edition version, but it appears to be a regular item. The package contains four different flavors, each is a combo flavor all based on a sort of tropical and sub-tropical flavors. It has Cherry mango, peach guava, strawberry pineapple and melon berry, with three of each flavor in the 2.07 ounce pack. Strawberry Pineapple is pink and delightful. It's sweet and tangy with floral notes that are close to honey and then something a little deeper and more heady. Melon Berry is bright green. It's quite melon, a cross between watermelon and musk melon, but there's a strong sort of papaya note to it. It's too musky for me, to tropical. Peach Guava is peachy. It smells like coconut and has a peachy, apricot note at first. The guava is not terribly strong, which is fine with me because I'm not that keen on guava, it's almost like passion fruit. Cherry Mango is red. It smelled like the regular Cherry Starburst at first, but the flavor is quite a bit better. It's cherry, with all those woodsy flavors, but there's a pine and peach note to it that's quite good. I'm not usually a fan of cherry, but I like how Starburst does them for the most part, and this is a good example. Overall, this flavor set is different enough from the standard Starbust Fruits but I don't feel like it completely breaks out of the show of the perfection of the original. If you're the type of candy fan that hates citrus, this is a good mix, as it has none, which is pretty rare. I love the pineapple, but I'm not big on melon, so I'd probably give this a pass in the future as a whole pack, but if I can just pick out the Strawberry Pineapple and share the rest, it's all systems go.

Angry Birds Fruit GummiesAngry Birds Fruit Gummies were introduced late last year to tie into the popular video game of the same name. They're made by a company called Healthy Food Brands which says on the front of the box that these are made with Real Fruit Juice, in addition to Natural and Artificial Flavors (plus a heaping helping of artificial colors). They come in a theater style box. There are four "collector editions" of the box, each themed for a different main character of the game: Red, Yellow, Green and the Blue, which I chose. The box is 7 inches long, 4.25 inches wide and .75 inches deep. The interior white packet is 5.5" long, 4 inches wide and the .33 inch thickness is that of the gummis themselves when they're spread out (and don't even fill the bag). So, it's what I'd call a big box for a small amount of candy. There are 3.5 ounces in the box and I paid $1.69. Of course I bought them at 7-11, which is very expensive for candy. But still, it's a poor value for sugar candy. Other sugar candy movie theater boxes give you at least 6 ounces for the same price (Dots, Mike and Ike, Hot Tamales, etc.). Chocolate candy is the only exception to that, but I expect there to be a price difference for nuts or chocolate, not licensed shapes. Each flavor is a different color and a different character. They're bright and soft and bouncy. They're not terribly greasy, but do have a little waxy coating to keep them from sticking. They're rather small and mostly round - a little less than 3/4 of an inch in diameter. Cherry (red): The Red Bird - it's cherry. It's soft and has a strong chemical flavor to it, not very well rounded and has a slight apple juice note to it (but the fruit juice concentrate used is white grape). Basically, these are serviceable but hardly improve upon other gummies out there. They're expensive with the only thing to really recommend them, aside from the nicely designed box is the fact that they're gluten free and nut free (if those are things you're interested in). They're made in Mexico. My suggestion? Buy one box, you know, for the box, and then keep refilling it with something better. I suggest Albanese Gummi Bears, or any of the cute shapes they also come in like butterflies, army men, worms or flowers. Those are made in the USA, come in really great flavors and cost half as much. Check out Jess' review on Foodette Reviews. Related Candies

Storck Mamba Sour GummiesI've been stopping by convenience stores more often lately, waiting for some new candies to come out on the shelves, so I noticed these Mamba gummis. I've already tried the regular packages, but these were Sour, so says the big green splat on the front. The Mamba Sour Gummies end up being expensive at the 7-11, which is almost as bad as going to a concession stand at the movies. 1.5 ounces is $1.19. The package says that they're made with real fruit juice (5%) and the calorie count per ounce (100) is actually pretty low for candy, with only 150 calories for the entire package. The package says the flavors are: orange, banana, raspberry, pineapple and cherry. The pieces are about one inch across and feature a sweet and sour sanding on them. They're soft and pliable, like gummis. The idea of Sour Banana isn't exactly appealing. I don't care for unripe bananas, though they're not really sour, just not quite sweet yet and too firm. In this case the sour banana doesn't taste like either a ripe or unripe banana. More like a lime soaked banana. Pineapple was dreamy. It was floral and tingly and unlike the banana that started out sour, this started out sweet and got quite sour towards the end, all the way to the jaw tingling finish. Watermelon was quite mild and really only about the sour. It had a good and reasonably authentic watermelon flavor, which means not much of a flavor at all. Raspberry is a sour jam without much floral or much in the way of that seed flavor. It's okay, not really one of the better raspberry gummies I've had, but it is at lease naturally flavored. I didn't get any orange in my package, nor it appears any cherry. The gummi market is crowed, though there aren't that many in sour available in little packets at the convenience stores, so I have to give credit to Mamba for being in that space. I think the biggest competition for these would be the Life Savers gummis. With the natural ingredients and 5% juice content in this version, I'd say a parent is much better off with these than Life Savers. The packaging and shapes don't make it feel like it's a compromise.

3 Musketeers Richer Chocolate Taste3 Musketeers bars were introduced in 1932; at the time the name of the bar made more sense back then, when it was three joined sections, each with a different flavored filling: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The bar was later simplified in 1945 into three sections that were all chocolate flavored nougat. 3 Musketeers were one of the first candy bars advertised heavily on television. (They had a long-standing sponsorship with the Howdy Doody Show.) The shape of the bar has also changed a bit along with the packaging, but the frothy soft filling and milk chocolate coating have pretty much remained the same. A couple of months ago Mars announced that one of their oldest bars was going to get an upgrade: Mars has reformulated the classic light and fluffy taste of 3 MUSKETEERS Bar to deliver a richer chocolate experience. Taste is the leading driver of sales for 3 MUSKETEERS Bar, and this new enhancement still satisfies as a lighter candy bar (45 percent less fat) while increasing the chocolate appeal among consumers. Mars sent me a couple of preview bars, but I've already seen them on store shelves (Walgreen's). I also picked up a classic formula bar for comparison. The new richer chocolate is on the left and the classic (still quite fresh) is on the right. The size and weight of the bars is identical, as is the nutritional panel. I also could not find any differences in the ingredients, which means that they made this a richer chocolate experience without altering the predominance of any item to the point that the label would need to be changed. The filling is a nougat and is made of sugar, corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel and/or palm oil and then less than 2% of cocoa powder processed with alkali, salt, egg whites, artificial and natural flavors. So a smidge more cocoa that doesn't exceed the amount of hydrogenated palm kernel oil and there's no need to change the label ... unless it's to sell consumers on the new richer chocolate experience. The look of the bars on the outside is the same. The little swirls of the milk chocolate coating on the classic recipe were a little deeper, but that could simply be a difference attributed to a particular machine. When I bit into them though, I could see a difference in color. The new Richer Chocolate Taste does look a little more cocoa colored. The classic looks, well, colorless and a bit desaturated. The bar feels light but still quite bulky. The scent is sweet but with a creamy cocoa note to it that's quite inviting. The chocolate shell is okay, it's not creamy or richly chocolate, more of a functional container for the foamy nougat inside. The center is soft and fluffy and I noticed that it wasn't at all grainy. The nougat has a light salty note to it, not overly salty, just a different sort of tone from the chocolate coating. The cocoa flavor was so very light, but at least it wasn't as throat-searingly sweet as I expected. Upon comparing it to the classic formula, it is most definitely more chocolatey. But if I'd not tasted the original, I can't say that this would turn me into a 3 Musketeers consumer. The bar is quite big. Two ounces is a lot of candy, especially when it's one that's so monotonous. I got through half the bar but then had to put it down. The candy bars are currently marketed to women and folks who are looking for lighter candy. It's true that its caloric density is less than many other nutty and chocolatey-er candies. But it's also bigger. So a full 3 Musketeers bar may have 45% less fat than "the average of the leading brands", but that doesn't take into account the portion size. In the end, calories are calories and this bar has 260 of them - more of them are empty, unsatisfying sugar that lacks a true chocolate punch with all of its fatty, melty notes. Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky (well, getting old, I've always been cranky) but I'm starting to come around to the whole idea that fewer ingredients make for a better flavor and texture experience. Real chocolate has rich chocolate taste. You want a real chocolate taste experience? Have some real chocolate. It's probably better for you than the empty calories and hopped up hydrogenated de-rainforesting palm oils. If you love 3 Musketeers, chances are you're going to be keen on the slight improvements here. But if you love chocolate, stick to real chocolate. I'd say half the portion of actual real chocolate is more fulfilling than this empty thing. But if you love texture, then maybe the tweaked bar is your new best friend forever. Update 10/29/2012: According to Mars they're going back to the original formula. So look for packages that don't say "richer chocolate taste" for the classic version. Related Candies

Mentos Jam FilledMentos are the KitKat of chews. There are dozens of flavors worldwide, and of course most of the interesting flavors are found in Asia. This newest version is the oddest one I've had to date: Mentos Jam Filled - Strawberry Lemon. They're made in China and sold in Southeast Asia and Pacific Islands. I got this package from Santos of Scent of Green Bananas after two failed efforts to buy them on eBay from a Thai seller. They're double packaged (like the Sour Mentos often are.) There's a main package of stiff, thick foil backed paper which is then encased in a plastic sleeve. Inside the inner package are 8 soft candies. The most noticeable difference is that they don't have a crunchy shell. They're a little glossy and might have a bit of wax but are basically shell-less. They're soft enough that they don't really have a native shape, they're a little flat on the sides where they meet and sometimes stick together a bit. They seem a bit bigger than a traditional Mentos. They're also more fragrant, authentically strawberry scented. The outer layer of chew is soft and has a good pliable taffy texture and tangy/sweet strawberry flavor. The inner jam is not very complex, more like a lemon flavored syrup, more like a reduction of lemon drink than lemon marmalade. It's not as tart as I would have liked and lacked a lot of lemon essence. The texture is sticky but not at all grainy. It didn't do much for me. The difference in the flavors wasn't strong enough to be called complementary and wasn't close enough to match. I'm not sure why they did this. It's a lot of packaging and not a lot of excitement inside. I might have felt differently if it were a uniquely named and branded item, but coming to me with a Mentos logo on it, I expected more authentic flavors and for it to, well, be a fresh take on the goo filled candy field.

Limited Edition Strawberried Peanut Butter M&MsFor the past few years M&Ms has linked up with blockbuster movies to make Limited Edition M&Ms. Shrek (Mega M&Ms), Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (Mint Crisp M&Ms), Pirates of the Caribbean (White Chocolate M&Ms) and Star Wars (Dark Chocolate M&Ms). This summer is no different with the release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. To tie into the movie about aliens that are two kinds of robots in one (more than meets the eye) Mars is introducing Limited Edition Strawberried Peanut Butter M&Ms. Not only are the candies inside of the "you've never tasted this before" variety, they've also made seven different versions of the wrapper. Pictured above is The Twins - Pack 7 of 7. What is a strawberried peanut butter M&M? They're pretty much the same as the regular Peanut Butter M&Ms: a peanut butter center covered in milk chocolate and a hard candy shell ... except here the milk chocolate is strawberry flavored. I admit at first I squintched up my nose at the idea. Then I thought about PB&J (which is ideal with concord grape and white bread on one side, but also fabulous with sunflower wheat bread and raspberry jam) and it kind of made sense. The colors are red, brown and yellow. There were no clever motifs on the printing, just the regular M imprint. Except the yellow ones had some red splatter on them (I'm guessing that's red transformer motor oil). The strawberry flavor is just that, a flavoring applied on top of the inherent flavors in the peanut butter and the chocolate. The chocolate flavor is pretty much overwhelmed by the floral and sweet berry essences. The peanut butter grounds it pretty well, it's mostly smooth, rather soft and has a good salty pop towards the end. They're not my favorite M&Ms ever, but I had no problem eating the whole bag. They feel about as relevant to the movie as last year's mint crisp was to Indiana Jones. I'll leave you with a photo of the Bumblebee Transformer.

Spastic colon is another term for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common disorder characterized by abdominal cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
The term "spastic colon" describes the increase in spontaneous contractions (motility) of muscles in the small and large intestines associated with IBS. These contractions are sometimes called spasms. However, because IBS may also be associated with decreased motility, the term spastic colon isn't always accurate.
The cause and severity of IBS varies from person to person. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms, and may include changing your diet, increasing physical activity, reducing stress, and taking anticholinergic or anti-diarrheal medications.

Eirik Johnson: Sawdust Mountain
North Galleries
October 24, 2009 – January 31, 2010
The subject of Eirik Johnson's photographic series Sawdust Mountain is a natural environment altered and marked by humankind. This Northwest photographer explores 19th-century myths about a powerful and romantic West full of promise and bountiful assets, myths that are now replaced by 21st-century ecological concerns arising from the toll taken by natural-resource-based industries. Along the way a rural population has found itself cast adrift. Sawdust Mountain encompasses not only fisherman and hatchery specialists, lumber workers, and reforestation projects, but also the disenfranchised: abandoned buildings and vehicles, makeshift stores only one step above yard sales. Throughout Sawdust Mountain Johnson touches back to the epic scale and sublime beauty of Carleton Watkins's photographs, some of the earliest known images of the region. The Henry Art Gallery will present a selection of works from Johnson's Sawdust Mountain series, accompanied by 19th-century photographs from the University of Washington Special Collections by photographers such as Darius Kinsey.
