Grapefruit stories
By Jeff Idelson
I'm sitting in Tampa International Airport awaiting the one non-stop Southwest Airlines flight back to Albany, having just concluded my Grapefruit League spring training jaunt. My Spring Training mission each year is to visit with those who are close to the Museum – current players and management, Hall of Famers, owners and supporters.
Having spent eight years combined in the Red Sox and Yankee front offices before being hired in Cooperstown in 1994, my knowledge was limited to Florida Spring Training: the Yankees were in Ft. Lauderdale and the Red Sox in Winter Haven. Since, I have traveled to the desert, too.
The differences are stark: The air is markedly drier in Arizona, because of the elevation. The ballparks in Arizona are surrounded by mountains; most of the ones in Florida, by water. Thirteen of 15 ballparks in Arizona are within 60 miles of each other. In Florida, they span across the state. I spent seven nights in one hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona; I was in six different places in six nights in Florida and flew in and out of airports across the state from each other.
The one similarity? I had a game rained out in each state.
I had a chance to visit with a number of our Hall of Famers. Andre Dawson and I had dinner in North Miami Beach, near his home. He's already made great progress on his speech and is getting ready for Induction. "I'll try not to get too emotional," the stoic "Hawk" told me. I let him know that if he did not get emotional, I would be worried. Almost every speech I have heard since 1994 has been emotional.
Hall of Fame Chairman Jane Clark, Ken Meifert from the Hall, and I, saw Mike Schmidt and his wife Donna in Palm Beach Gardens. We talked about a variety of topics, from baseball to bull riding to music to living in Florida. Mike is very excited about our inaugural Hall of Fame Classic Golf tournament in June, in which he will participate. He was thrilled to know that a number of the 28 spots available are already filled.
Last Saturday, we hosted our Hall of Fame Champions in Jupiter. John and Kathy Greenthal became the first Champions in Hall of Fame history to attend events in both Spring Training states. Jim and Tina Collias made the trip over from Naples to Jupiter, and Dan Glazer also joined us. Hall of Fame Board member Bill DeWitt, owner of the Cardinals, was generous in hosting us for his team's game with the Mets. Spring Training games are usually not that interesting, but this one featured the Mets scoring three runs in the 9th, the last on an Ike Davis game-tying home run, only to have Ruben Gotay lead off the bottom of the 9th with a walk-off home run.
Speaking of walk-off home runs, we dined with Dennis and Jennifer Eckersley after the game. I asked Dennis what he thought of Doug Harvey. "He was behind the plate for Kirk Gibson's home run in the 1988 World Series," Dennis reminded me, as I began to suffer the symptoms of foot-in-mouth disease. He still thought Harvey was an excellent arbiter.
I headed across the state to Yankee camp and saw many old friends in the clubhouse before the game: Billy Connors, Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage, Steve Donohue, the team athletic trainer, Joe Girardi, Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter, whom we drafted when I worked for the team. The game was rained out as Gene Michael, his minor league teammate and Tigers broadcaster, Jim Price, and I had lunch. Also saw Tiger friends Dave Dombrowski and Al Aliva in the dining room and learned more about the Tigers.
Dinner that night was with Wade and Debbie Boggs and Reggie Jackson. Eddie Fastook, the team's traveling security director and a long-time friend, also joined us.
Unbeknownst to me, Boggs grew up a big Reggie Jackson fan, even wearing No. 9 in honor, the number Reggie wore early in his career in Oakland. Wade told the story of how in the mid 1980s, Reggie gave him one of his bats to use in 1985. "I used it for 33 straight games and hit five home runs," said Wade. "I loved that bat and then I broke it on a Dave Stieb pitch," a dejected Wade recalled.
The next morning, I visited City of Palms Park in Fort Myers to see the Red Sox and the Rays. I met up with Don Zimmer, who is very bullish on the Rays this year. "The best club we've had in my seven years with them," Zim said.
Zim told me how much he admired Dawson and Ryne Sandberg when he managed the Cubs. "Two guys who led by example," he said. "The other players watched these guys and saw greatness in the making."
I told Don I would be seeing Jim Rice and Bob Montgomery later that day.
"Monty was the best hit-and-run guy I ever had," recalled Zim. "I remember in a game with Cleveland, the bases were loaded. They had a sinker-baller on the mound so I rolled the dice and gave (coach) Eddie Yost the hit-and-run sign on a 3-2 count. Monty put the bat on the ball and we stayed out of the double play. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy, but I really thought it would work, and it did."
Rice later told me that he believed Thurman Munson and Lou Piniella were among the best hit-and-run guys he saw when he played.
I concluded my trip with dinner at Carlton and Linda Fisk's home in the Sarasota area. We had a wonderful visit and a great dinner. Pudge joked about how some of the evenings in Florida this year were as cold as those he experienced growing up in New Hampshire.
I've had my fill. Let the regular season begin.

Pierre chasing Hall of Famers
By Freddy Berowski
Juan Pierre is on the move again – but this time it's not on the basepaths.
Pierre, the active career steals leader with 459 whose playing time was limited over the last year and a half due to the Dodgers' acquisition of Manny Ramirez, was dealt on Tuesday to the Chicago White Sox, where he will become their new left fielder and leadoff man. It will be Pierre's fifth team in what will be his 11th big league season.
"Juan always put the Dodgers first, even when it wasn't in his personal best interest," said Dodgers GM Ned Colleti.
Pierre currently ranks 47th all-time on Major League Baseball's stolen base list. At 32 years of age, before all is said and done, Pierre should have no problem moving up considerably on that list. But the question remains, how many more steals are left in those legs?
At 1,406 steals, Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson is baseball's all-time stolen base king, and the only player in history to steal more than 1,000 bases. When Henderson was 32, he was ready to begin his 13th major league campaign and was only two steals shy of Lou Brock's then record 938 steals. Rickey went on to play 25 seasons with nine different teams before hanging up his spikes for good and ultimately earning enshrinement in Cooperstown this past summer.
Pierre might not match Rickey's mark of 1,406, but he could pass several Hall of Famers while moving up the all-time steals list. Pierre has averaged 45 steals per year since 2001 and should pass Hall of Famers Tommy McCarthy and Willie Keeler in 2010. He may also pass Hall members Paul Molitor, Fred Clarke and Luis Aparicio next season as well if he stays healthy.
One thing Pierre has going for him is his work ethic.
"I've never seen anyone who works like him – never" said Pierre's former batting coach with the Marlins, Bill Robinson, "He's hungry for knowledge, hungry to learn, hungry to play. It's beautiful. He's a delight."
If Pierre maintains a stolen base rate close to his average over the next three seasons, by 2013 he will have also passed several more Hall of Famers: Bid McPhee, Hugh Duffy and Ozzie Smith, and in the process crack the top 20 on the all-time list.

Rock-tober comes to an end
By Trevor Hayes
While Jim Tracy's Colorado Rockies won't join the likes of Jack McKeon's 2003 Florida Marlins and Hall of Famer Bob Lemon's 1978 Yankees, the skipper certainly made headlines before his team was eliminated from the playoffs on Monday by the defending World Champion Phillies.
Both Lemon and McKeon, however, claimed the unique accomplishment of leading their team to a World Series title during a season in which they didn't start the year as that team's manager.
Lemon, elected to the Hall of Fame as a pitcher in 1976, was hired by the Yankees shortly after the White Sox fired him in the summer of 1978. His new team trailed the Red Sox by nine-and-a-half games when Lemon was hired on July 25, but future Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter and Goose Gossage helped the team surge back into contention to catch Boston. The chase was highlighted by a four-game sweep of the Sox known as the Boston Massacre and a one game playoff which featured Bucky Dent's historic home run. The Yankees then went on to defeat the Royals in the American League Championship Series and the Dodgers in the World Series.
McKeon's Marlins were much quieter in qualifying for the postseason via the Wild Card – but used an infusion of stellar play from young talents like Josh Beckett, Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. Riding the youth wave, McKeon let veterans like Ivan Rodriguez and Mike Lowell pace the team – pushing the Marlins from 19-29 in late May to 91 wins and a World Series title.
Tracy, who took over the Rockies in May, accomplished quite a bit in his first season at Colorado's helm. The Rockies finished 22 games over .500 (92-70), making Tracy the first in-season replacement to take a team that was 10 games under .500 to 20 games over .500. He set several other records, tying the modern mark for wins (41) in a team's first 60 games after getting the job in midseason. With 50 wins through 75 contests, he matched Lemon in 1978-79 as the first mid-season replacement to post a .667 win percentage through that many games.
Entering this year, 30 managers were replaced during the season since 2000. Only eight of the new skippers posted winning records – and only one, McKeon with the 2003 Marlins, actually won the World Series.
Just 15 midseason managerial changes, prior to Tracy, resulted in a playoff berth.In fact, only two teams in history have changed their manager midseason and won the World Series – McKeon's Marlins and Lemon's Yankees.

Rising in the fall
By Trevor Hayes
A look at some of baseball's record chasers as the last month of the season gets under way:
Ranking Ryan: With August coming to a close, Ryan Howard cemented his name in the Phillies record book yet again. Last Friday marked his third multi-homer game of the month, tying the Phils record for a single calendar month. Among the five others to do it are Hall of Famers Chuck Klein (August 1931) and Mike Schmidt (August 1974 and August 1983). Howard's teammate Chase Utley (September 2006) is on the list as well.
The last week also saw Howard drive in his 600th career run in just his 693rd game. That's the fastest for any major-league player since 1946, when Ted Williams collected his 600th RBI in his 675th game.
Elite Pettitte: Though he lost a perfect game bid in the seventh inning, Andy Pettitte's win on the final day of August made him the third winningest pitcher in Yankees history. He had been tied with Hall of Famer Lefty Gomez at 189. Only Whitey Ford (236) and Red Ruffing (231) have more wins in Yankee history.
Power at second: Florida's Dan Uggla belted his 25th homer Wednesday, making him the third second baseman to hit at least 25 dingers in four straight seasons. The others are Alfonso Soriano (2002-05) and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg (1989-92). Unlike the others, however, Uggla has done it all in the first four years of his career.
Remembering Roberto: In October, the Hall of Fame will hold its second Character and Courage weekend to honor the achievements and spirit of Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig and Roberto Clemente. Major League Baseball, meanwhile, is in the midst of its own celebration of the Pirates' legend.
Wednesday was the eighth annual Roberto Clemente Day, and MLB's teams announced their nominees for the Roberto Clemente Award, which seeks to find the player "who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual's contribution to his team."
Prior to Clemente's tragic death on New Year's Eve 1972 while delivering supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua, the award was simply called the Commissioner's Award. Last year's winner was NL MVP Albert Pujols, and the names on the award read like a who's who of the game's greats since 1971 – the first year it was given out.
Hall of Famers have won the award 13 times, including Willie Mays, who received the honor the first year, Al Kaline, who was the first winner of the award after it was renamed in Clemente's honor; Clemente's teammate Willie Stargell. Other Hall of Famers who won the Clemente Award include Brooks Robinson, Lou Brock, Rod Carew, Phil Niekro, Gary Carter, Cal Ripken, Jr., Dave Winfield, Ozzie Smith, Kirby Puckett and Tony Gwynn.

New stadiums, new memories
By Brad Horn
This week, Major League Baseball and New York will welcome two new shrines, as the Mets christen Citi Field on Monday night and the new Yankee Stadium (everything old is new again) will host its formal inauguration Thursday.
We'll be documenting both of these openings in Cooperstown with artifacts that capture this moment in time for future generations. Look for updates this week as we share our latest donation items with you.
When future generations of fans look back on this week, it's likely they'll say these stadiums represent the last of a new breed. For the last 20 years, baseball stadiums have been constructed at a rate, and a cost, never before seen in our game's history.
The 1990s unleashed a fury of new ballparks, when the old seemingly was not enough. Toronto ('89), Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland and Arlington got the ball rolling. Soon, Atlanta, Seattle, Detroit, San Francisco and Houston followed suit, as did an entirely rebuilt Angels Stadium in Anaheim. Expansion clubs Colorado ('95) and Arizona ('98) christened new ballparks, while Tampa Bay and Florida also established new traditions, albeit in fairly older structures. The 21st century welcomed new parks in Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, San Diego, St. Louis and Washington. Just this offseason, Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium underwent a major renovation. Boston's Fenway Park, long a stalwart, has had multiple facelifts throughout the last 10 years.
In fact, only Wrigley Field (Chicago), Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles), the Metrodome (Minneapolis) and Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (Oakland) are the last major structures not enduring entire overhaul or replacement since the era of the new ballpark began 20 years ago. The Met will join the list of replaced stadiums next year as Minneapolis welcomes a new outdoor home.
What will become of the next phase of ballparks? Which of the "new" will be the first to be deemed "outdated?"
One thing is for sure — no period in baseball history is likely to see as much change as we have witnessed in the last two decades.
Visitors to Cooperstown can celebrate stadiums of past and present in Sacred Ground, an exhibit dedicated to the ballpark experience, only at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

USU football: junior college transfer and in-state product proud to be an Aggie
For some people, it is easy to describe what it means to be a part of their team and university. To Utah State senior defensive lineman Al Lapuaho, being an Aggie is everything.
While it took him awhile to get to this point, he sees the influence it has had on his life and the impact he wants it to continue to create.
"It means a lot to be an Aggie. I'm going to grow up and be able to tell my kids 'You know, I was the first generation to get that new field, the new uniforms, the new logo. I wore it first,'" Lapuaho said. "I have seven brothers below me that I want to become Aggies. They're still young and can do that. It means a lot to me and them."
Lapuaho said a huge part of his love for Utah State stems from the recent success of the team, and the drive they continue to have together.
"The Aggies are coming up," Lapuaho said. "It means the world to me to be a part of this."
Lapuaho played prep football at Granger High School in West Valley City, Utah, where he was a four-year letterman and earned second-team all-state honors as a senior. Upon graduation, he had offers to play at Snow College and Southern Utah University.
He selected Snow but only because he hadn't ever heard much from Utah State, the school he really wanted to attend.
After his freshman year at Snow, he received an offer from Washington State, which he accepted. However, just couple of weeks before he was supposed to move to Pullman, he decided he didn't feel right about the decision and returned to Snow.
"It made my coach mad," Lapuaho said. "But then he asked me what school I wanted to go to, and I said Utah State."
So, his coach went to work and made it happen.
"I met with the USU coaches at our Scottsdale game that year," Lapuaho said. "I played a good game and after that, coach Andersen gave me an offer."
Lapuaho came to Utah State in 2011 as a junior and immediately took his place. Though he was a part of the starting lineup by the first game at Auburn, that wasn't the case when he showed up for camp.
"I knew I'd be starting at the bottom coming in here, so I wanted to do anything I could to get to the top," Lapuaho said. "I came in as the second-string end and saw that we needed a nose guard so I told the coaches I was willing to play that. I wanted to be a starter. By the time the Auburn game came, I was starting at nose, and now I'm back at end."
Defensive line coach Frank Maile said Lapuaho is a necessary part of the team.
"You've got to have a guy like Al. He's a great personality both on and off the field," Maile said. "We love having him as part of our group of the defensive line."
While many members of the Utah State football team are very vocal and quick to accept their status as a leader, Lapuaho tends to shy away from the title, while still taking on the responsibility.
"I guess you can say I'm a leader," Lapuaho said. "I came in last year and played every game. I know the ins and outs. I know how it is in a game. I've seen what it takes and I think people see that. Hopefully I can do it this year again."
Maile said other members of the team definitely see Lapuaho as a leader, but that he doesn't always see the extent in which he is admired.
"A lot of the guys look up to him as an older guy and a starter. I just wish he would take more advantage of them looking to him," Maile said. "He has a roundabout way of leading by example."

The panels are gorgeous! Do you recall sources?
Julie MaasDecember 13, 2012
I would appreciate any information about the blue and gold fabrics, trim, and/or rods. I have the exact same wall color, and have been looking for an elegant blue fabric such as this. Thank you!
Paula Grace Designs, Inc.
Thanks for the question! The panels are navy blue silk with a bronze silk lead edge (a ban of bronze silk). They are trimmed with a tassel trim on the lead edge. These are custom made but you can certainly replicate this by going to your local fabric store and showing them the picture. Many stores have fabricators that can make this look for you.

Leaves my hair feeling soft. This product only works for me when I air dry my hair though as it will frizz in some spots if I use a diffuser. I'm a 3a.
Posted by AsiaLina (Type 3b) on 09/21/2012
RAMEN NOODLE HAIR!!!! And it didn't tame the frizz enough. The curls were too spread out, like, you could see my ears THROUGH the hair. My hair had no body. However, it was very shiny. But it looked wet. I don't like the Jheri curl look. It looks better after it's been slept on for a night.
Posted by MamaNaturalista (Type 3c) on 05/01/2012
LOVE IT! It defines my curls without the crunch or heaviness. It works s charm on slicking down my edges and taming my flyways! I would recommend this product for sure!
Posted by CurlySuzy (Type 2c) on 02/21/2012
I really love this mousse. It is not crunchy and really adds a lot of softness to my curls. The hold is not super strong so it is for days when my hair is already in pretty good form. I used a leave-in conditioner under it for best results. Great clumping and definition!

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Willard Psychiatric Centre
1869: Willard Psychiatric Center opened
First patient: Mary Rote
1870: Willard cemetery set up (5576 graves by the time it closed)
1869-94: Received only patients from across the state that had exhausted the public resources of their counties
1893: Hadley Hall built: 500 seat auditorium and bowling alley. Held dances, concerts lectures and amateur theatrics
Early at Willard, the families of those not destitute expected were to provide clothing, special needs and stipend (payment/monetary recompense to Willard)
People were admitted to Willard not just for diagnosis but also for their ability to work to sustain the institution.
Those considered 'violent' were kept in Back Wards away from everyone. Their time there was regimented and boring dominated by filth, neglect and lack of heat.
1920's: One of its buildings, Hadley Hall, was used for Monday night screenings of films of the time like SPOOK RANCH, LOVE HOUR, THE SIEGE and THE IRON HORSE.
Funds raised were raised by superintendents from local businesses and individual donors
Occupational therapies were introduced at Willard (occupational meaning 'being occupied' rather than preparing for a career.) Art and craft activities the main therapies including: Weaving, rug making, leatherwork. Basketry, needlework, light woodwork, drawing, painting and pottery making. Patients used it to escape, chat, socialize, escape boredom and not think about their situation.
1926: Boring day-to-day ritual but chances to make money by selling newspapers etc. Every Monday night there was a picture show.
Treatments at Willlard
1930's AND 40's: Willard dominated by drug treatments. Little in way of health treatment.
Pre 1950's: HYDROTHERAPY: patients submerged in cold or tepid baths for long periods
INSULIN (intro 1937)
Both designed to induce violent seizures
METRAZOL SHOCK TREATMENT (into 1937)
Replaced a few years later by
'ELECTRO SHOCK TREATMENT' (periods of large number of shock treatments known as 'The Blitz'. The treatment often broke patient's backs. No sedative was used. Blitzed 2/3 times a day. Neck would arch up, big thing in the mouth, massive convulsing. After they were put in their little rooms naked.
During 1942 alone Willard doctors administered 1,443 shock treatments.
1940's 50's: COLD PACKS: patients wrapped in wet sheets and set on tub of ice.
1950's: Neuroplegic drugs like THORAZINE introduced widely (chemical restraint to help deal with a large number of patients) effect: powerful muscle spasms, parkinsonism.
Ward 5: Lights no shades just bulbs. Very cold, glass of water would freeze over night.
Evening Routine: 3.20pm prepare medication
Evening meal
Gather in alcove to smoke
Boring, dangerous, smell
Many staff lacked training
Closed society
Some staff had relatives at Willard (including Ethel)
Following a number of reports damning the system Willard finally started to put in place ideas to prepare and return patients to society. By that time many were too old and unprepared and so were moved into homes to see out their remaining years (like Dmytre).
Occupational therapy went from arts and crafts to on the job training: accounting, typing etc.
Willard opened the state system's first Rehabilitation Department offering socialisation skills and 'activities of daily living: cooking, shopping, budgeting, grooming' Halfway house opened to those who were preparing to leave the system.. Some piecework paid for the work they did.
1973: Unpaid patient labor was outlawed in psychiatric centres
1988: The Sheltered Workshop Building were torn down
1995: Willard was closed

Ask the Experts: Skiers and Snowboarders List the Season's Hottest Snow Gear
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
When you're bombing down a mogul run atop 10-year-old skis wearing your puffy blue bib, it's easy to dismiss the odd-looking skis and snowboards on the mountain as fad-driven detritus. In reality, there's a raft of new, innovative technology hidden within those weird-looking planks and slabs, and it's changing the sport you love for the better.
First, a reminder: The irritating twenty-somethings in the day-glo jackets who can't seem to pull up their pants are keyed into all the latest developments. Maybe they can't go four words without saying "brah," but those other three words could be your ticket to a better season on the mountain. But hang out with them full time and you could wake up in a snowcat with a nasty Four Loko hangover. So we did the dirty work for you, busting out the Brah-to-English dictionary and quizzing the experts on the latest in snowboard and skiing tech.
The Cinematographer: Ben Bishop
When Ben Bishop switched from skiing to snowboarding at age 9, his ambitions were clear: to grow up, go pro, and ride for a living.
"I started off as a competitive snowboarder, but I didn't quite make it to the pro level," Bishop says. "Once I got older I realized I wanted to stay in the industry and turned to cinematography." He's since made a career out of filming professional skiing and snowboarding, and he splits his time between Lake Tahoe and San Francisco.
He currently rides a Lib Tech TRS with a C2 base. The Lib Tech handles camber differently than other boards. When a camber board is lying flat on the ground without a rider, the edges of the front and rear of the board are in the contact with the ground, while the center of the board is elevated. The TRS C2 has a camber "wave" of sorts. The front, back and center all touch the ground while the bindings are elevated. The theory is that when a rider is standing on the board, the surface area of the edges engage with the snow more.
Bishop says he enjoys the benefits of the new designs, but he's not completely sold on all the newest shapes. "To be completely honest, some of these technologies are just a gimmick," he says. "It's just a way to push more products to the masses." At the same time, he's happy to see companies giving designers the freedom to create new and exciting designs. Plus, the ideas that have the biggest impact will seep into the rest of the market.
One advancement Bishop is excited about are products that are more ecologically sensitive. "A sport like snowboarding is pretty environmentally taxing, and every way that we can cut back on those issues is pretty good," he says. One company he likes is Holden Outer Wear. The clothing is stylish and well-constructed, and the company is driven by a desire to create a more eco-friendly product.
As a cinematographer, Bishop isn't excited about the current helmet-cam craze. But he has seen footage from the new GoPro Hero 3. "It looks amazing," he admits, and he says that's the POV camera to get if you want one. "There's nothing cooler out there." (You can check out Bishop's helmet cam-less footage on Vimeo.)
For someone who gets a new board every season and has seen technology come and go in the sport, the thing Bishop cites as the most exciting innovation on the mountain is a bit of a surprise: the electronic lift pass. Instead of waiting for a lift operator to manually scan a lift ticket, skiers can place a RFID-enabled lift ticket into their jacket. A sensor at the gate recognizes the ticket and opens as riders enter the lift line. Lines move more quickly, and everybody gets more runs in.
Mr. Endless Winter: Eric Foster
To describe Eric Foster as a "skiing fanatic" is like saying that Ferrari makes fast cars. When I contacted Foster, he was at Ski Dubai in the Mall of the Emirates, having just shredded 200 feet of vertical man-made snow in the middle of the desert. Foster admits the snow wasn't that great in the giant tunnel of white. And he should know — he spent three seasons at Chamonix Mont Blanc in the French alps, and later built a cabin at the foot of Mt. Baker in Washington just to have immediate access to the best conditions.
It's no wonder this worldwide snow-seeker's favorite technologies are made for the backcountry. Particularly bindings, and, specifically, the Salomon Guardian 16. A joint venture between Atomic and Solomon, the Guardian 16s transform from cross-country bindings to low-profile performance downhill bindings with the flick of a switch. They eliminate the need to actually take off your skis to hike up into the backcountry. "Ever since my first Fritschi FreeRide bindings, and then the Dukes, I was waiting for Salomon to solve this problem," Foster says.
Another backcountry problem: avalanches. Foster was skiing at Stevens Pass when an avalanche took the lives of three skiers. "Some people lived through that slide because of an ABS pack, and it might be time to shell out the money and add this to the inventory of snow safety tools," Foster says. He likes the North Face Patrol 24. When deployed by a skier during an avalanche, two air bags inflate in three seconds and keep the skier or snowboarder's face and hands above the wall of snow. At $1,180, it isn't cheap, but if you ever have to use it, it'll be the best piece of snow gear you've ever bought.
As for apparel, if money were no object, he would love Peak Performance Heli-Alpine pants and coat. Peak Performance is a small company out of Sweden known for high-quality outdoor clothing. "This is one of those more boutique companies, and you definitely pay more for it," he says of the $1,700 ensemble. "But you will never have a button fail or Velcro unstitch." His pick for goggles: Oakley's Airbrake. "Swapping lenses is controlled by a physical locking mechanism, so you don't have to get 1,000 fingerprints on your lenses as you muscle them into the frame," he says.

What If We Had a Page on our Website for Every US Registered Nonprofit?
November 2012
Dear Friends of Charity Navigator,
That's exactly what we plan to do! By this time next year, we expect to have a page of information available for you on every nonprofit listed in the IRS Exempt Business Master File regardless of whether or not Charity Navigator rates them. That's over 1.5 million organizations that provide services both in the US and throughout the world! In addition to basic information (charity name, address, contact information, cause area and mission), we will let you know if and why a charity does not meet our rating criteria, give you tools for rating it yourself, provide a "vote now" button to move it up in the rating queue if it does meet criteria and supply you with the "Write a Review" feature that is already on our web site for rated charities.
Our #1 priority is to make sure that you, our valued users and supporters, are as fully equipped as possible to make the charitable giving/social investing decisions that are vitally important to you and to those organizations seeking to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of people and communities of they serve.
Given our continuing work on the development and implementation of CN 3.0 (adding the
all-important third dimension—results reporting—to CN 2.0) and getting to 10,000 rated charities, all by the end of 2016, many people have asked us why we are taking on this additional herculean task and how we are going to accomplish it.
The answer to both questions is YOU! Charity Navigator's core values call for a fully client-centered approach wherein concern for the users of our website is at the heart of everything we create and critical decisions that we make. So, we are doing this for you and, at the same time, need your help to get it done.
I'd like to give you a progress report on where we are with all three of our major initiatives. They are included Charity Navigator's Business Plan, which was unanimously approved by the Board on June 20, 2012.
- A Page for Every Nonprofit - The first prototype is already in development and testing on it will begin early next year.
- CN 3.0 - We are about to ship out the final CN 3.0 rating prototype to our Advisory Panel and other experts in the field for their feedback. When everyone has weighed in, we will begin gathering the results reporting data for the pilot cause area—family and children's services. As we continue to gather the information, one cause area at a time, we will display the information on a separate tab on the individual charity rating pages, just as we did for the accountability and transparency data. The first CN 3.0 data will be displayed no later than Spring 2013.
- Getting to 10,000 Rated Charities – Our goal is to get to 6,000 charity ratings by the end of 2012. Today, with just over 5,800 charity ratings on the CN website, we expect to handily achieve our goal. Ultimately, 10,000 charities rated in 3 dimensions (CN 3.0) will be featured by the end of 2016.
Your support of our work is most deeply appreciated and plays such a major role in what we have been able to accomplish thus far. Because the key to achieving our goals going forward is the addition of resources (staff and other critical infrastructure), your partnership and investment is vital to the success of our efforts as we work diligently to add significant value to the charitable giving landscape. I thank you in advance for helping us to enhance and increase the tools to optimize the return for millions of your fellow social investors and making the world a much better place!
All the best,
Ken Berger
President and CEO

I learned that I like to play around with different black and white conversions. Sometimes it can be fun to go really heavy on the blacks, especially when you have a dramatic light photo!!
Also, I learned (actually I learned it two weeks ago but didn't want to tell you until it actually happened) that my photo was selected by Color Inc Lab as their photo of the day. This wasn't a contest either. I submitted a bunch of my photos to be printed and they saw it and wanted to use it. I got an email a couple weeks back asking if they could use it. They posted it on their blog (June 21), Facebook, and Twitter. It is also going to be published in a book of all their daily pictures. I realize that is probably a trick to get me to buy the book but guess what? It worked!! Ha! Also, they will use it as examples at trade-shows and school of photography! Yay!!! Thanks to my adorable nephew, Jackson, for being my amazing model :O)
Now it's your turn. What did you learn this week?? You know the old saying "You learn something new everyday!" Take pictures of it and share with us!! Some weeks you may learn a photography skill and want critiques. GREAT!! Share and ask for them! If you didn't learn a new photography skill but something about yourself or life, that is great too! Post a picture and tell us what you learned. Can't wait to see your pictures and find out what you learned!!
As always
1. Post one photo and tell us what you learned.
2. Link your permalink, not your blog address, check out the I Learned Tab if you need help with this.
3. Attach our button to your post
4. Ask for critiques if you want them and post your settings
5. Leave a comment on 5 other posts
6. Open Thursday 8am – Sunday 8am (Japan time) or Wednesday 6pm – Saturday 6pm (EST)
This is your last week to enter to win the Clickin' Moms Lifetime Membership!

Pesch reunited with striker Kabba
The 28-year-old will remain at the Pirelli Stadium until December 23 and goes straight into Albion's squad for the FA Cup second-round tie at Gillingham on Saturday. Peschisolido, who played alongside Kabba at Sheffield United, said: "I know Steve from my time at Bramall Lane. He's a good lad and if he's half the player he was back then he will be a great asset to us. "He's quick and he's desperate to play and get a run in first-team football again. This is a great opportunity for us and a great opportunity for him to re-launch himself as a player."

After scanning thru the forum I thought i would ask this question.
I was going to set up Resellers like this:
Create cpanel package:
10G storage 100 gig transfer.
After the user has signed up for the package. I was going to add them as a reseller. And allocate the same specs that is on there cpanel package to there resellers account and limit them that way.
However after looking thru the forms I am a bit confused.
If i do it the above way does it mean they can use the above specs for there cPanel account and there reseller account? meaning they end up with 20G storage and 200G transfer?
And if that is the case what is the proper way to ser up a reseller account for cPanel?

Stephen Colbert Searches for Florida's Elusive SuperPAC Madman

The weirdest thing: very few people have actually ever seen or met Josue Larose. Last night, Stephen Colbert went looking for him. This is what he found.
Of course our favorite quote is this:
"I know a lot of Joses. I have a lot of friends named Jose, but they all live in Miami. I'm sure there's plenty of Joses in Ft. Lauderdale. I just dont have any Jose friends in Ft. Lauderdale.

They will be joined by military and civilian personnel involved with the project. 15 comments
First we colonialize all over the world. For that we need a large military. For that we need to spend a lot of money. As a result, many people all over the world hate us. As a result, many people all over the world kill and injury us. As a result, we have to spend millions on a new hospital rehabilitating our wounded who colonize the world for us.
It's a beautiful building. I wish our library looked that good.
as a growing population to local areas has been occurring , news is welcomed. for families of civilian as well as enlisted personnel it affords opportunities for healing, jobs, advancement in sciences and greater economic growth to locations. blending of new affords betterment to a lot.
LEE Once again you talk about "Empire" and now "Colonialize (sic)". Will you either stop with that claim or 2) give an example? Like the President, just telling lies does not make it so.
this hospital created ALOT of local jobs for over 2 years. It was built under budget, thus saving tax payers millions of dollars. It is state of the art, and provides a positive experience for those that serve us in their time of need. Not to mention they deliver babies and provide physical therapy for the wounded and injured. Very proud of this hospital and you can ask any of the workers that participated (non military) in building it what an honor it was for them to be a part of it. Workers came from San Diego county, Riverside County and Orange County, Los Angeles County to provide their area of expertise at a time when construction jobs were very scarce. It is truly a beautiful facility with a positive energy and standing in front looking up at the flags and out to the ocean one can only be impressed.
Lee simply has no clue what he is talking about. Ever. It is perfectly clear to anyone with even an 8th grade education that Lee has never, even once, cracked open a history book. I see him as this guy with barely a high school education, living in his parents basement, early to mid 30s, no job. Wonder how close I am to the truth. We will never know however, because he simply will not answer back. No guts, no glory.
My dear fellow Fallbrookers, I would like to use observer's comments (#5) to demonstrate to you the ever-so clever and now omnipresent double-speak logic so famously perpetrated by the famous, shall we say, "fair & balanced" news channel which so many people have fallen under its seemingly brilliant spell. Truth has now been turned upside down and wrong is now the new right. Reality is now wrong, and lies the new reality. Such a nation cannot last for very much longer. "this hospital created ALOT of local jobs for over 2 years." This is the carrot on the stick held in front of our noses that our military-industrial complex wants us to fall for over and over and over again: jobs, money, jobs, money, jobs, money . . . Sure, a lot of jobs have been created over the years by this hospital, but at what expense? The answer is at the expense of thousands of maimed soldiers and veterans, at the expense of hate on a global level towards us, Americans (actually, WE, THE PEOPLE haven't don't anything wrong directly, our politicians have, yet we pay the ultimate price: dying in hijacked airplanes, blown up while watching a marathon, etc., and who knows what yet awaits us, WE, THE PEOPLE), at a military-industrial financial drain of this nation's budget that is the culprit of our nation's downfall, etc. In other words, the small picture "feel good" story of the building of a base hospital is used to cover people's eyes from seeing the "big picture. And folks always fall for that. Some . . . but not all of them all the time. "It was built under budget, thus saving tax payers millions of dollars." This is, perhaps, my favorite quote. It's the usual, you know, "if you buy this product, you'll save 25%" . . . only to realize that you have to spend 75% . . . in order to save 25%. Hello! The ONLY true way to save money is if you do not spend the 75% in the first place. Hello! Can you say . . . used car salesman? Come on, folks, you are smarter than that. Or, speaking of cars, it's the good ol' 0.0% financing which erroneously leads you to believe that you are getting a great bargain . . . while the truth is that you have to buy the product, and spend money, in order to get the 0.0% interest rates. Yikes! Again, you have to spend money in order to save money. Don't make a bit sense to me . . . but it does to our military-industrial complex, of course. "It is state of the art, and provides a positive experience for those that serve us in their time of need. Not to mention they deliver babies and provide physical therapy for the wounded and injured." Aaaaaw shucks, we always fall for cute, emotional stuff like the mentioning of puppies . . . or babies, don't we? Watched the Superbowl commercials last night, did cha? OK great, it's state of the art, but what about one for the civilians? At this point, please read my comment #1 above: we're chasing our tail. Literally. "Very proud of this hospital and you can ask any of the workers that participated (non military) in building it what an honor it was for them to be a part of it. Workers came from San Diego county, Riverside County and Orange County, Los Angeles County to provide their area of expertise at a time when construction jobs were very scarce." Right, good ol' inclusive psychology not to mention the aforementioned carrot on a stick trick. Got it. "It is truly a beautiful facility with a positive energy and standing in front looking up at the flags and out to the ocean one can only be impressed." Ah yes, and let's throw in the red, white & blue. Got it. Wait a minute, does a building that tries to heal the maimed who killed people, themselves, have a positive energy? Really? Wouldn't, instead, a place or building that didn't have any injured both physically or spiritually be a place of "positive energy?" How can a building that revolves around those who kill, i.e., soldiers, be a place of "positive energy?" Again, double-speak logic, folks. So, see a pattern developing here? Our military-industrial complex is indoctrinating us . . . with money. Gee, isn't that the oldest trick in the book? Spend money, build shiny new buildings, create jobs in the process, . . . and let's keep on killin' around the world. Yippie. You can fool some of the people some of the time -- oh, you already know the rest. You're no fools. Far from it. PS. Isn't it the people's money to begin with that our military-industrial complex is spending? Anybody else see that? Can you say . . . one big Ponsi scheme?
@Lee this....makes....absolutely....no....sense...at....all....NONE.
@ #8 Pink W . . . h . . . y? P . . . l . . . e . . . a . . . s . . . e e . . . x . . . p . . . l . . . a . . . i . . . n. T . . . h . . . a . . . n . . . k y . . . o . . . u.
@Lee: Because it meaningless, incoherent, and poorly written. In a word... it is Gobbledegook.
@ Pink Can you explain why? Can you elucidate in detail with thoughts that actually support your claim?
I did. It is impossible to critique what you wrote because it is incomprehensible. Your comments appear to be a string of unrelated sentences, with absolutely no coherent thought process.
@ Pink Thank you.
@ lee- Iwas going to help Pink explain it to you - then Irealized that just as I cannot explain simple math to my dog. that type of logic is beyond your comprehension - or should i say, any logic is beyond?
@ Grunt Thank you.

Spaghetti Bolognese
5 CommentsSpaghetti bolognese is something of a staple in my family. For most of my life growing up, every Sunday after church we had spaghetti and meat sauce (because we never called it bolognese but it's the same idea) with garlic bread and sweet tea. My mamaw and papaw have a great recipe that we always seemed to have a few containers of in our fridge. These days I like to experiment with different methods and recipes for the same dish, so I was excited to try this recipe from Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution cookbook!
The first time I gave it a go, it came out less saucy and more like spaghetti with ground beef on top. The ground beef tasted amazing, but it isn't quite the desired effect. Turns out I didn't chop my vegetables small enough. Who knew? I'll tell you who: Pasan. He pointed out my error when I was serving dinner. That would possibly have been better information to hear about an hour and a half earlier, but oh well. This time, he decided that he should be in charge of the chopping. Jamie Oliver says in his cookbook not to worry about technique, just chop the veggies into as tiny pieces as possible. I must have missed that the first time. This time it turned out quite saucy! But I didn't serve it the ideal way, which is to mix half of the sauce with the pasta and then add more once it's on the plate. I don't care though because it was still perfect. That part is mostly a "to each his own" situation.
This is the ideal size for the veggies. The bacon doesn't have to be cut this small – that part is up to you as well. It's always best to try and find organic bacon, which they sell at Whole Foods. I guess the most ideal would be to find a seller at a farmer's market who can tell you where his products come from.
This will smell so nice in your entire house, unless maybe you have a really big house and keep all the doors shut. Then at least your kitchen and probably living room will make people drool. I love a heaping portion of pasta, and as I have yet to find a local Italian restaurant that I really love in Orlando, I'll just be experimenting on my own for the time being. I picked up a sesame seed baguette to have garlic bread on the side with this, which I think is a staple with spaghetti. So is sweet tea, but I don't drink much of that lately due to the fact that I'd like to stay Type-2 Diabetes free for the foreseeable future.
A couple more notes on this: it's best to find really good quality meat. We're fortunate in that we have a great meat seller at our local farmer's market. He sells 95% lean grass-fed free-range beef for a better price than we can find anywhere else. That's what we used for this, but Jamie Oliver says that it can be really tasty to mix ground beef and ground pork.
Positives: you only need one pot and even though there's several steps, they're really easy to follow. This is another one that's hard to mess up as long as you chop the veggies really tiny in the beginning.
There's about an hour and a half of down time during the making of this meal, so grab a good book and settle in since you'll need to stick around to stir occasionally. My summer reading list has been A Dance With Dragons and Ender's Game (which I want to finish before the movie comes out.) I'm really enjoying them both! What books have been your pool and beach reading this summer?
Spaghetti Bolognese
Adapted from Jamie's Food Revolution
Makes 4-6 servings
2 slices of smoked bacon, finely sliced
2 medium onions
2 cloves garlic
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
olive oil for frying
2 heaped tsp dried oregano
1 lb ground beef, pork, or a mixture of the two
3 14-oz cans of diced tomatoes
4 pinches dried basil, separated
4 oz parmesan or asiago cheese (or both)
1 lb dried spaghetti or penne
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1) Finely chop the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Make sure it's very finely diced, because if it's not then the vegetables will soak up all the liquid. It will still taste good, but it won't be very saucy.
2) Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a 5 quart sauce pan (if possible, if not then use the biggest one you have) on medium to high heat. Once it's heated, add the sliced bacon and oregano. Stir until the bacon is lightly golden.
3) Add the vegetables and stir once a minute for about 7 to 10 minutes. The vegetables should be softened and lightly colored.
4) Stir in the ground meat and canned tomatoes. Fill one of the empty cans with water and add that to the mixture as well.
5) Add 2 pinches of basil and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cover. Simmer with the lid slightly askew for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If the sauce starts to look like it's drying out, add about a quarter cup of water.
6) Remove the lid and cook for another 30 minutes,again keeping an eye on the sauce and adding 1/4 cup of water if necessary.
7) Prepare the pasta according to the directions on the box during step 6. Drain and return to the pan.
8) Remove the sauce from the heat. Grate the cheese and stir half of it into the sauce. Stir in the other 2 pinches of dried basil.
9) Give the sauce another good stir and taste test. Add more sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
10) Add half of the bolognese sauce to the pasta and mix well. Divide the pasta between plates and top with more sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with olive oil, then serve.

HOSA members at a Major Incident Drill that took place on Nov. 13, 2009. Members include (l to r) Advisor, Cheri Carter, Matte Faler, Katie Nemeth, Alyssa Erlewine, Victoria Cruz, Kaylee Hosley, Alex Kuykendall, Jesse Faler and Zac Carter.
HOSA group stays active in the community
By Ethan Gilliam
This years HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) club at Orofino High School has been busy. Officers are Zac Carter, president; Jesse Faler, vice president; Kaylee Hosley, secretary; Katie Nemeth, treasurer; Ethan Gilliam, reporter; Victoria Cruz, historian and Megan Gering, parliamentarian.
HOSA meets every Wednesday during school during the channel one TV show and has participated in several events including a fall leadership conference in Coeur d'Alene, a health and fitness workshop at Dr. Harpers office, a major incident drill with EMS/EMT, community advisory board meetings, Red Cross Blood drives, job shadowing with various health care workers, and are looking forward to our state leadership conference in Boise this April 6-9.
Our fundraisers have included volleyball, football, and basketball concessions, Schwan's pizza sale fundraiser, and a summer community carwash. We are planning a Fun Run for the community across the Dworshak Dam on May 1.
HOSA is very grateful for our sponsors, which include Brookside Landing, Glenwood Pharmacy, Clearwater Valley Hospital and Clinics, Lodge at Rivers Edge, Harper Chiropractic Clinic, State office of Rural Health, Family Eye Care, Potlatch #1 Federal Credit Union (Orofino), Eye Clinic (Orofino) Northwest Value Drug, Headgames Hair and Tanning Salon and NOSDA.
Our fall leadership conference was an all day event in Coeur d'Alene where members participated in various leadership and health care workshops. We also learned about the history of HOSA. The conference included many guest speakers. We ended our evening with dinner at the Outback.
Dr. Harper invited us to his office to use his conference room for our meeting. While there, we received an excellent presentation on some of the different things that go on in a chiropractic office. We were also able to use some of Dr. Harper's equipment on some of our members.
We found out if we had a flat foot or a high-arched foot by using some of Dr. Harper's machines. He gave us a head to foot exam on how our own personal bodies were shaped and how they behaved from some of our sleeping habits. He told us which side of our body we slept on. It was a very interesting and revealing trip. We would like to thank Dr. Harper for letting us use his office and giving us an insight on his profession.
We also attended an Emergency Preparedness drill. This was a very fun day in which HOSA members participated as the victims of a major incident. Clearwater Ambulance responded, treated us, and transported us to the hospital.
On Nov. 25, 2009 HOSA president, Zac Carter donated blood for American Red Cross at Orofino Armory. Pictured in the back row are Meagan Gering, Alyssa Erlewine, and Victoria Cruz.

I was one car traveling on hwy 278 when the golden dog was hit. The owner was desperetely chasing after the dog and doing everything to make the dog stop. It was obvious the dog had gotten loose. I was afraid I was going to be the one who hit the dog when it started running over in my lane. I missed the dog but the Green Ford f150 behind me did hit the dog. At that time the owner dropped to his knees and started crying. From my rear window, my three kids saw how this dog died. I watched the owner of the truck from my rear view mirror and he did nothing!

MEDFORD, Ore. — Recent rains have not been enough to pull Southern Oregon out of a severe drought situation and now fire crews are getting ready for what they fear will be an intense wildfire season.
Several fire agencies in the area are prepping for fire season two to four weeks early this year. Hiring has already began for the seasonal fire fighters and agencies have started to inspect equipment.
"We're gearing up. Starting things earlier and that would mean bringing out fire crews early and doing our training early," said Bureau of Land Management's Jim Whittington.
Fire officials say the lack of rainfall and snow pack result in dry foliage that is more susceptible to fire.
Oregon Department of Forestry's Brian Ballou urges the public to practice safe burning habits over the next few months.
"This year's a good one to be extra cautious with your burning. To monitor your burn pile at all times and to extinguish it entirely when you're done burning," said Ballou.

I did my research & consumer reports on this and thought I'd be a bit happier with this fridge. It is just about a year old & is loudly whirring as I type this. (it also rattles a bit). The air/water filter seems to last a decent amount of time, though they are pretty overpriced for replacements. I do like the amount of room it provides, and it's regulated temperature works well. I am "ok" with this purchase, but very glad I bought the 3 yr warranty. I feel as though something might happen at any time with the strange noises it makes.

Great refrigerator, we had a smaller version of this in our previous home for 4 years. We expect this unit to serve us just as well if not better.

Great space and excellent lighting in this model. Ice maker is very quiet and plenty of space in the freezer.

I think if we had to do it again, we would have bought a counter-depth fridge. It seems to dwarf the rest of the kitchen. Freezer drawer is heavy and clunky to pull out. Fridge doors loud when they shut. Had same fridge for 15 years - will probably just take time getting used to new one. Love all the extra space though.
