Greetings everyone. I'll be backpacking in Utah for the first time in a couple weeks (starting last week of May). Manti La Sal for the Dark Canyon Wilderness, Canyonlands, and Zion. I'll be going on multiple 3-5 day hikes. I've never backpacked in this part of the U.S. Most of my experience is in the PNW, South Florida, Smokys, and deep tropic jungle. Nothing like the dry deserts of the southwest. I;m fairly well suited with flexible gear. I'd just like any tips or recommendations from those with experience. I.E. How warm of a quilt will be needed? Should I bring insulating layers? Will it rain? Any insects or critters to protect against? Any recommendations for staking the tent in particular ground types? I've got a lot more q's but this should suffice to start.Also hoping this is the most appropriate forum,Thanks!Brad
Bring a pack that will carry a lot of water well, depending on your route. I wouldn't count on rain, but I always take a UL rain jacket for a wind jacket. It will be a lot more like what you're used to in the LaSals than it will be the other places.
Temps will depend on altitude. Probably unlikely to get very close to freezing in late May unless you're up above 6k or more. In fact, it could be really darn hot in the lower reaches of Canyonlands and the like.Rain is unlikely, but can happen, and when it does is likely to be prolific. Check the forecast and decide if you want to gamble. Not a bad place for a poncho tarp.In lower, wet areas you'll find mosquitoes, and even worse, deer flies. (The big brother of NE black flies.) I'd recommend not camping in canyon bottoms, especially near lots of water. If you do this they shouldn't be a big deal at all.Depending on route, you may need to carry lots of water.Bring excellent sun protection. Hat, neck protection, light LS shirt, and good shades.
Bring a good water filter. Depending where you are, and what kind of stream/pool you are filtering out of, you may want to bring some coffee filters to wrap around the suction end of your hose to get out some sediment. Some may disagree, but I always bring them with me in the Canyonlands just in case. I 'd also bring a trowel to ensure you get that full 6"-8", as biodegrading is next to non-existent here. As David said, don't camp in the canyon bottoms and you won't even need to think about why you left the bug spray at home. Don't step on the crypto-crust!
Brad, I'm also planning a trip in that area. I started a thread for feedback on my gearlist which you might check out, you can at least see what I'm bring. I've camped in this area a number of times.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=63392&skip_to_post=543861#543861Just a comment on the suggestion to bring a hefty trowel for digging a full 6".My research has indicated that because of the lack of organic soil to decompose your waste, the best method is a shallow bury. This insures that the waste gets good and cooked by the sun. Too deep and it will just remain.Another method is the smear, only to be used in extremely remote and rarely traveled areas, far from any trail.See this NOLS WMI article for more info!http://www.nols.edu/wmi/articles/archive/hygiene.shtml

mosquitos are pretty easy to avoid, but heads up that that time of year can be prime P/J gnat time. I'll take mosquitos any day over the gnats. They aren't just in the canyon bottoms. Moving to a new spot can usually be enough to avoid them, but if they're bad they can drive you mad and make you hurt. Deet doesn't work. You might consider a lightweight headnet. I never take anything, but there have been a couple times that I wish I had.
Interesting point there, Tyler … talk to a ranger and you may hear a very opposite belief. I was told by a Canyonlands staff member that there's a section of Arches National Park where cattle used to graze. It's been about 40 years since these cattle took dumps in the area, but if you were to go there today, they'd still look fresh.I must say, I'm glad I don't regularly see fresh piles or your "smear" around the designated camping areas in our desert national parks. By burying your waste as deep AS POSSIBLE you are removing it from the surface of an area where virtually nothing degrades. Basically by burying, your poo just becomes part of the soil.

When it heats up in the southern Utah deserts, you can stumble on a scorpion or two. Pretty easy to anticipate, as they generally make little lizard-like tracks in the soft dirt and sand. They range in size from pretty tiny to as long 3 inches or so, maybe longer. A sting can vary from wasp-like pain to severe swelling and delirium. They hunt at night and then like to crawl into warm nooks and crannies as it gets light in the morning, so you'll find them in a shoe, or under your bivy, etc, as you're packing up. I don't worry too much about them at night and often sleep outside of the bivy or tent. I figure, they're active hunting, and staying away from me. I've hiked down there a lot without ever being stung, but I have also seen a lot of scorpions, and had a handful of hiking partners get stung. Years ago, a friend of mine got stung in his crotch. He'd laid his pants out on a rock overnight, and the scorpion had settled inside, and stung him when he pulled the pants on in the morning. At first it was funny--he was hopping around screaming for help pulling off his pants. But we were at the second set of falls in Coyote Gulch near Stevens Arch. Getting him out proved to be a grueling experience.And don't forget rattlesnakes--easy to avoid, but orders of magnitude worse than a scorpion.
If you're in a designated site, in Needles for instance, follow the NPS procedure. I don't know what that is these days, but I assume many SW parks are moving towards wider and wider use of WAG bags (ie pack it out).In undesignated but well traveled terrain (ex: Dark canyon) a deep hole up away from the canyon bottom is probably the best way to go. In undesignated and more obscure terrain, digging holes in the sand of dry washes or a shallow bury in rocky ground seems best. If camping on slickrock way out there in places which might see 6 parties a year, frosting the rock has always struck me as the least impactful.
One other anecdote about bugs. Early in the season--say Apr-Jun, the deer flies can be really bad in the canyon bottoms. They look like a slightly smaller version of a housefly, but are a medium gray color. Their bite is more painful than a mosquito, and they leave a mosquito like welt.DEET holds them back, but they seem more persistent than mosquitos. Once, in the Escalante Canyon my hiking partner and I were swarmed by deerflies that were dive bombing through our DEET. It was so bad, we decided to beat it--literally racing a couple hundred yards to escape. As soon as we stopped, we were immediately swarmed by deerflies. So we made a break for it again. Same problem when we stopped. The third time we sprinted off, I noticed a dozen or so deerflies sitting on the seat of my hiking partners pants. As soon as we stopped running, the flies attacked. So, we sprayed DEET on our pants, and as much of our packs as we dared, which solved the problem. This was before Permethrin.
Yes, WAG bags being the most preferred method, although I have yet to hear them (NPS) recommend, let alone enforce them… yet.
--"I must say, I'm glad I don't regularly see fresh piles or your "smear" around the designated camping areas in our desert national parks. By burying your waste as deep AS POSSIBLE you are removing it from the surface of an area where virtually nothing degrades. Basically by burying, your poo just becomes part of the soil."--Not to get into a thread-drifting argument about pooping but... a couple points.You wouldn't see piles of my smear around because the smear is, by definition, the opposite of a pile. Maybe that's why the cow patties are still there, I don't know. Second, you wouldn't use the smear technique around a designated camping area, where if there wasn't a pit toilet, the WAG bag would definitely be the best option. The smear, as Dave C points out, is for undesignated and seldom visited locales. I'm also going to provide the disclaimer here that I have never used the smear in practice.And, as you point out Tim, there's really isn't much decomposition happening in the desert. There definitely isn't much you'd call soil, especially 8" below the surface. On the surface though, the sun will kill the harmful bacteria.I'm with you all that bagging your waste and packing it out is the "best" way.

By far, I think gnats are the most dangerous living thing encountered on the trail. Coming in after a long day, just around dusk, gnats are up your nose, between your glasses and eyes, hanging out on the edge of your lips, getting sucked down your throat through clenched teeth. I have walked right off a trail being distracted by them when I was in a bad mood coming down a hot sweaty staircase loaded with other people's gear.Bug net, bug net, bug net.
"By far, I think gnats are the most dangerous living thing encountered on the trail."Wait until you run into a cloud of no see ums in similar circumstances. Individually, they pack quite a wallop. In clouds, they will make you rue the day you were born.
I was in Dark canyon in July last year. The bugs (mostly flies) were very annoying, but not intolerable. I would definitely make sure you have some kind of bug net. It didnt get very cold at night, maybe high in the 50s. I was very comfortable with a light quilt. I didnt need any insulating layers at all. I didnt experience any real rain, just a couple very light sprinkles. If youre doing the Woodenshoe-Peavine loop, there are several campsites set up along the way. The main concern is water. It was very sparse. I would suggest carrying 6 liters, and take a look at this blog:http://wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&WID=148&tab=BlogsThe very first post has useful information about water sources along that route. Also, make sure you have a good map. USGS sells a 1:31k I think, that is very detailed. The route was washed out in places, so be sure your map/compass skills are up to par.Keep in mind, I was there two months later in the year than you are planning, so YRMV.

You guys are frigging awesome. Thanks kindly for this wealth of info. I think we will be spending most of our time in the Dark Canyon Wilderness. Does anyone have specific experience here? My main questions are regarding water.Thanks!Brad
Justin just saw your post. Thanks for the info and link.Has anyone here hiked much in the Needles District of canyonlands?
Druid for the win.
Looks like the new plan willl be Coyote Gulch (out and back), Zion Traverse, and then maybe a solo of Dark Canyon Wilderness. Very excited!

Oh Hell, Led Zep aren't alone in that: Belle and Sebastian were sued by Cliff Richard over 'Wrapped up in books'/''Out in the country'; Oasis were sued by Neil Innes over 'Whatever'/'How sweet to be an idiot'; Paul Simon gave himself a writing credit for the traditional song Scarborough Fair (which he learned from Billy Connolly, btw); and apparently Mussorgsky never saw a penny from Ravel's orchestration of 'Pictures at an exhibition'. I don't know if Emerson, Lake and Palmer paid anyone for Pictures at an Exhibition, and if so who.

Congratulations, dear readers, you have almost made it through your post-Independence Day workweek! While returning to the rigmarole of your daily routine can certainly be a sobering endeavor, we have kept our spirits high and our Sherlock-Holmes-skills honed by tracking down publicists and scanning our stacks of lookbooks to provide you with today's information-packed and densely-detailed edition of What Was She Wearing: Answers! We hope that today's offerings are enough to sate your sartorial appetite and keep you entertained until the next sun-and-sand-filled weekend arrives!
Lynn Collins
The fresh-faced Lynn Collins achieved an elegant-yet-edgy ensemble at the (500) Days of Summer premiere in Los Angeles late last month. The X-Men Origins: Wolverine and True Blood actress combined a body-con black skirt (a closet-staple she has cherished for years) with Twenty Cluny's Sequin Motorcycle Jacket ($660), both very on-trend and stand-out pieces. Her Junk Food band shirt, similar to their ACDC High Voltage Tee ($45), adds a little bit of dressed-down personal style, while her accessories-the classic Alma Shoes ($555) and retro-glam Cecile Bag ($2595) from Jimmy Choo-provide a little extra polish. Rock Topshop's Leather Mix Biker Jacket ($268), Free People's High Waisted Skirt ($28), Elizabeth and James' Jazz Pump ($325), and Bourne's Gardenia Handbag
($195) for an inspired-by Lynn Collins look or pick out your favorite element of her outfit as smart separate investments. Either way, be sure to stay tuned to see this up-and-coming star's fashionable ascension!
Leighton Meester
While Leighton Meester has been spotted sporting some new blonde tresses this summer (for a film), she's stayed true to her consistently chic clothing choices. En route to tape a segment for MTV's It's On With Alexa Chung, Meester wore Thakoon's Antique Floral Lace Pullover Dress (from the designer's Resort 2009 collection), Tod's D Bag ($1495, 800.457.8637), and Christian Louboutin's Platform Lace Up Booties ($1195). Though her dress isn't available, try Thakoon Addition's Floral Lace Dress ($625) for a garden-inspired print or the Slouchy Pullover Dress ($498) from Thakoon's main collection for a voluminous style-both mimic aspects of Meester's selection. If you are taken with the shape, but want it at a more reasonable price-point, try Dolce Vita's Jemma Dress
($143), then round out the look with Topshop's Roulette Lace Up Sandals ($125) and Melie Bianco's Patent Bowler Bag ($95) in gray.
Isla Fisher
As evidenced by the above photo, Isla Fisher can certainly play the part of a fashion plate. The Confessions of a Shopoholic-comedienne stunned in a Stella McCartney dress and clutch at the Los Angeles' premiere of her long-time fiance's flick Bruno. These designer pieces are from McCartney's forthcoming fall collection, and won't be available for a few more weeks; in the meantime, try ASOS' Silk Sweetheart Neck Dress ($101) if you're mad about the contrasting top, or the brand's Oasis Drape Dress ($137) if you're crazy for the color of Fisher's frock. While her Mechante of London Dita Python Shoes ($676, 212.431.3890) and Bulgari jewels are out-of-this-world amazing, we can also recommend DV by Dolce Vita's Fire Heel ($68) and Forever 21's Dimpled Bangle Set ($5) as equally shimmering alternates for her stellar accessories.
Olivia Palermo
Though a somewhat controversial figure on The City, Olivia Palermo remains on our good side due to her sophisticated urban ensembles. For a day of running errands in the, errr, city, Palermo wore Armani Exchange's Cap Sleeve Vest ($98) over a long-sleeved henley, and Daryl K's Stretch Leather Pull-On Pants ($1200). While we love her leather leggings, we're also aware that it's quite a lot to shell out for what some consider to be a questionable bottom option. Nordstrom's Slick Leggings ($68) or ASOS' Gloss Shine Leggings ($31) both have a little sheen and are extra-long like Palermo's pick, but they don't require such a financial commitment. Another thing we appreciate about Palermo outfit is her Sergio Rossi Metallic Lace Up Flats (unfortunately from the brand's 2008 F/W collection), as we've spent many a day trekking through New York City's streets and know that strappy sandals aren't always the most comfortable choice. Razzle dazzle Palermo-style and instead try a silvery shoe from Topshop: we like either the Kameryn Brogue Shoe ($125) or the Meena Pointed Lace Up Shoe ($55).-KM, additional reporting by Kelly Agnew

MASSENA Clarkson University officials say students in the colleges honors program will create several detailed proposals for how to repair the failed weir on the Grasse River.
Jon D. Goss, director of the honors programs at Clarkson, said the roughly 40 students in the program will spend next fall and spring semesters studying the broken weir, identifying the pros and cons of different strategies toward repairing it, and looking for repair options that would satisfy both economic and ecological concerns.
Mr. Goss said that while Massena Mayor James F. Hidy would like the weir repaired as a way to increase water levels and improve recreation on the river potentially drawing more tourists to the region the state Department of Environmental Conservation is concerned that reconstruction of the weir would negatively affect species in the river.
I would imagine there would be a number of scenarios (to reconstruct the weir), and certain benefits with each scenario will come up, Mr. Goss said. I think thats our bigger question here: How do we balance an economic and environmental solution to the problem?
Mr. Hidy would like to see the weir repaired as part of the effort to revitalize downtown Massena. He is interested in mending the dam to restore water levels, which could create boating, kayaking and other opportunities downtown and spur development.
I think its vital to the revitalization of the downtown community that it be repaired for aesthetics purposes, as well as to increase water levels for recreational purposes, and for (the Grasse River) not being a dried-up riverbed in the summer months, Mr. Hidy said.
However, Mr. Goss said DEC previously was reluctant to allow the Massena Electric Department to build a dam in the Grasse River because of concerns that it would negatively affect river wildlife. Mr. Goss said he believes DEC officials are concerned about at least one endangered species of fish, the maintenance of fish habitats and keeping an open pathway for the migration of fish.
I know some people feel strongly that the dam should be rebuilt, and there are other people primarily in the DEC who feel strongly that it should not be rebuilt, Mr. Goss said.
A group of Clarkson faculty members will visit the weir site next week to develop a program for the students in the honors program, who span a range of engineering, environmental, economic and social-related majors.
Students in the honors program will do background research over the summer, Mr. Goss said, and begin doing fieldwork at the start of next falls semester. By the end of the fall semester in December, those students will have prepared an interim report to give the community and stakeholders an idea of what were doing, Mr. Goss said.
Theyll really get into the design and implementation process by next spring, he said.
Mr. Hidy extended thanks to Clarkson students, faculty and administration for their support.
This will be done through the generosity of Tony Collins, Clarkson University president; hes been a great friend and supporter of Massena, Mr. Hidy said.

Getting personal with your Business Cards
It's always interesting to see what other people put on their Business Cards. Should you go elegant and understated
with a logo
, or show off
your product range
? Maybe a
photographic portfolio
or a chance to show off
your music tastes
Or maybe, like the PR agency
Ruder Finn
, you make cards to get a real conversation started. We spoke to them recently about
their Business Cards
and the great reactions they've received as they've been handing them out.
Read the full interview
on our blog.
Three years, compliments and a kiss!
In our last newsletter we asked you to fill out
a little survey
, about
and changes that have happened over the last three years. We got lots of responses - even some that made us a little teary. We'll be doing a longer blog post on them soon. For now, we thought we'd share some of the more unexpected responses:
1% thought you'd really put your MiniCards to the test - you gave
your first card to a potential date
. 23.3% took an easier route, testing them out on either a family member or a friend.
1 of you gave
as the best response ever received on handing out a Minicard... We've tried this in the office - doesn't always work.
2% of you have switched from a Mac to a PC in the last 3 years, which as Mac geeks, we thought was interesting. 15.7% switched the other way.
43.8% said that a
new career move
, (either in work or education) has been the biggest life change in the last three years.
1 of you gave
'A Kiss'
as the best response ever received on handing out a Minicard... We're too scared to try this in the office, but we still all chimed 'awww!' on reading this.
love your job
- saying you bought MiniCards for business and pleasure - and that they were one and the same thing. Yay!
Rounding up
A little while ago we mentioned the Business Cards of Jack Hooker, a
graphic designer who uses MOO
With a cool playing-card design, Jack rounded the corners of his cards with a 'corner cutter'. We're still investigating automated rounded cornered cards, but in the meantime, we've had a lot of requests for corner cutters. If you'd like to get one too, they're available from
DICK BLICK in the USA
FRED ALDOUS in the UK
And that's all for now,
Have a great week,
The 3 years old MOO Crew

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Here's a thought-provoking take on the current gun debate: a Washington, D.C. pastor who is a staunch defender of the right to bear arms.
In fact, he's one of a group of conservative black pastors across the country who believe God expects people to protect their loved ones, even with guns.
At a boisterous, evangelical church service in one of Washington's poorest neighborhoods, Reverend Kenneth Blanchard Senior is a shepherd who tends to a fervent flock.He's also a staunch, pro-gun enthusiast.
"You want to have the tools that you can use to defend yourself when you need to," said Reverend Kenneth Blanchard, Senior. He's the Pastor of the Historic Berean Baptist Church.
He's also a Harley-riding, former Marine who worked for the CIA, protecting three of its directors. He has emerged as an unlikely national spokesman for the right to bear arms.
"Politicians cannot legislate human behavior. There's nothing they can say, write or print that will change the heart of man," he said.
Reverend Blanchard is one of a vocal group of conservative black pastors across the country who refuse to be silent about their stand on gun control. He firmly believes God intended us to protect our families, even by deadly force.
"He's given us all the tools you need. It's up to us to take them. If you want to be anti-gun, that's fine. But what you have to do is not encroach on the right of anybody else," he said.
According to the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, blacks are the least-armed, least-protected, most assaulted citizens in the country. So what would happen to DC if everyone who wanted to buy a gun could legally do so?
"Crime would go down. Immediately," said Reverend Blanchard. "Crime would go down. Criminals would say hmm, I don't know. I'm not going to go into this house because they might be armed. Criminals want easy."
Many in the church disagree with their pastor's affinity for gun ownership, but they still pray for him and for our country.
"When good men do nothing, evil prevails," he said.
African-Americans are more likely to be victims of gun violence than any other group in the United States. The Center for Urban Renewal and Education says that 41-percent of whites say they have guns and only 16-percent of blacks.

Advanced Muscle Science
Hormone Regulation Kit RDe Chrome
(R)apid (D)issolve (e)ffervescent or RDe is the new and improved delivery matrix that ensures the maximum quantity of active 1-Androstene-3b-ol, 17-one compound reaches its essential anabolic location within the body (skeletal muscle tissue). This is so extremely important because the more active compound that reaches the target location in the body - the more converted compound is available to positively effect skeletal muscle tissue growth.
Before the new effervescent matrix was discovered - bioavailability of the active hormone was an industry leading 69%, with the former Rapid Dissolve (RD) delivery. With the addition of the new triple-ingredient effervescent matrix - bioavailability increases by an additional 30%.
RDe is superior to common oral capsules. RD delivered 69% bioavailability of the active hormone while oral capsule bioavailability is a mere 1.5%. This means that a 100 mg capsule of 1-Androstene-3b-ol, 17-one would only deliver 1.5 biologically active milligrams. Conversely, a 20 mg RD tablet delivers 14 biologically active milligrams. The differential is colossal.
If that weren't enough, the new effervescent matrix that completes the RDe delivery formula ensures an additional 30% bioavailability of the active hormone for a near perfect 99% use of the active compound - the most efficient oral prohormone ever introduced to the market.
Hormone Regulation Kit RDe Chrome contains:
1-Andro RDe Chrome which supports lean mass gains and strength gains.*

POTSDAM - The State University of New York at Potsdam will welcome the founder of a new scientific field, as well as a member of the Kennedy family, to mark the colleges triennial Academic Festival next month.
Former Maryland Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Dr. John Warner, president of the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Technology, will serve as the keynote speakers for the 2013 SUNY Potsdam Academic Festival.
Entitled Making the Future, the forward-looking Academic Festival will bring together students, scholars and community members in a series of lectures, panel discussions, workshops, seminars, displays and performances from April 10 to 13.
John Warner: Green Chemistry
Dr. Warner will open the festival with Green Chemistry: New Eyes and New Ideas in Science, at 7:30 p.m. April 10 in Kellas Hall Room 106. Warner is one of the two founders of the green chemistry movement, which has made sustainability a central theme of modern chemistry.
Warner earned his bachelors degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston, and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University. After working at the Polaroid Corporation for nearly a decade, he then served as tenured full professor of chemistry and plastics engineering at the UMass Boston and Lowell campuses. He is one of the founders of the field of Green Chemistry, co-authoring the defining text, Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice, with Paul Anastas.
In 2007, he founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry, where he serves as President and chief technology officer. He is also founder and President of Beyond Benign, a non-profit dedicated to sustainability and green chemistry education.
Warner has published more than 200 patents, papers and books. His recent work in the fields of semiconductor design, biodegradable plastics, personal care products, solar energy and polymeric photoresists are examples of how green chemistry principles can be immediately incorporated into commercially relevant applications. In 2011, he was elected a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and named one of 25 Visionaries Changing the World by Utne Reader.
Dr. Amy Cannon, co-founder along with Dr. Warner of the Beyond Benign Foundation, will lead a discussion on Green Chemistry in Education during the festival as well.
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend will speak about Women Taking Power Seriously in a public presentation at 7:30 p.m. April 11 in the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall at SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music.
Marylands first female lieutenant governor, Townsend is an attorney and writer, and she helps to raise funds for the Democratic Party. She is the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and niece of John F. Kennedy. Townsend recently published the book, Failing Americas Faithful: How Todays Churches are Mixing God with Politics and Losing Their Way, as a call to urge churches to reclaim the legacy of an active faith.
Before being elected lieutenant governor, Townsend served as deputy assistant attorney general of the United States. In that role, she led the planning to put 100,000 police officers into the community and she ignited the Police Corps, a program to give college scholarships to young people who pledge to work as police officers for four years after graduating.
Prior to serving at the Department of Justice, Townsend spent seven years as the founder and director of the Maryland Student Service Alliance. It was in this role that she led the fight to make Maryland the first state in the nation to require all high school students perform community service. Before launching that initiative, she worked as an environmental attorney both in private practice and as an assistant attorney general in Maryland. In addition, in 1982, she managed Senator Edward M. Kennedys successful re-election campaign.
Townsend has taught foreign policy at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She has published articles in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Washington Monthly, among others. In the 1980s, she founded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.
Townsend currently serves on the boards of directors of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Civic Works, the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, and the Institute for Human Virology. She previously served on the boards of the Export-Import Bank, the Wilderness Society, and the Baltimore Urban League, and was chair of the Robert Kennedy Memorial.
An adjunct professor at Georgetown Universitys School of Public Policy, Townsend served as president of Operation Respect, the organization founded by Peter Yarrow that is dedicated to teaching children personal and social responsibility.
In addition to her keynote speech, Townsend will also participate in an Empowerment of Women panel discussion at 2 p.m. April 11 in Kellas 105.
SUNY Potsdams triennial Academic Festival will examine how to prepare for the world of tomorrow — today. Titled Making the Future, the 2013 festival will introduce cutting-edge research and creative thinking for students, faculty, staff and the North Country community.
As a celebration of academics on campus, the purpose of the festival is to introduce the community, students, faculty and staff to cutting-edge research and creative activity on topics of importance. All events are free and open to the public, and many students will be granted permission to leave their classes to participate.
In addition to the two keynote speakers, other highlights of the festival include:
■ An Algerian film series hosted by Visiting Professor Dr. Abdelkader Cheref, including Days of Glory, The Battle of Algiers and Rachida,
■ Music performance by the Caramelo Trio,
■ Discussions with womens labor activist Jane LaTour, and a
■ Space series looking at the black hole finder mission, the Mars Rover missions and what we have learned since the Apollo trips to the Moon.

I loved the sweet and spiciness the green salsa gave this dish. We added some of the Trader Joe's tomato-less corn salsa for a little extra texture and flavor. AMAZING!! I will be making this again and again.
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
95 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
This is a great recipe. It's so easy to change and make it your own. For example, I changed the amount of garlic to 3 cloves. I made it ahead of time and the flavors melded together beautifully. Did not have to spend time cooking when my guests arrived. Used Pace medium Salsa which is a perfect replacement for canned tomatoes that have a lot of sugar. Great for diabetics.
This was amazing! I've always used my mom's recipe but wanted to find one a bit thinner and with more diversity in flavor. This chili was perfect! I did make a few changes: ground turkey instead of beef, added salt & pepper (to taste) and added about 2 tbsp of Ketchup to add some sweetness. Perfect!
Green salsa made for a nice change from traditional chilli. Used 2 cans of kidney beans and added small can of organic tomato paste to thicken. (great idea shared by another member). Topped with a dollop of low-fat sour cream and shredded Monterey. Served with whole wheat saltine crackers
This is a fast, easy, yummy & different take on regular old chili. I can only find green salsa with medium heat, so I omit the cayenne because we don't like food too spicy in our house.
Serve over brown rice with some lowfat cheddar & sour cream and scallions.

B-Brussels: technical secretariat for the groups of the notified bodies Avaldatud: 06/05/2009, Viimati muudetud: 08/05/2009
- Tähtaeg:
- 17/06/2009.
- Number::
Published in OJ: 2009/S 85-121684 of 05.5.2009
CALL FOR TENDERS No ENTR/09/014 - Technical secretariat for the group of notified bodies under the following directives:

Lot 1: Equipment and Protective Systems intended for use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Directive – ATEX 94/9/EC;
Lot 2: Machinery Directive 98/37/EC, revised by Directive 2006/42/EC;
Lot 3: ElectroMagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC;
 Lot 4: Lifts Directive 95/16/EC.

The Decision 768/2008/EC of 9.7.2008 on a common framework for the marketing of products provides that the Commission, in cooperation with the Member States, must ensure that close cooperation is organised between notified bodies in order to ensure coherent technical application of the conformity assessment procedures set out in the Community harmonisation directives based on the new approach and/or the global approach.
To this end, notified bodies must meet, in coordination, in order to establish coherent methods so that all the examinations are based on the same techniques and lead to comparable results. Moreover, in order to ensure consistency between the various groups, the Commission can assemble and organise inter-sector groups, by inviting the technical secretaries and chairmen of the coordination of notified bodies, either together or in restricted groups when specific subjects are discussed.
The experience to date in implementing the above directives has shown the need, in the interest of effectiveness, to assist the chairmen of the coordination of each group of notified bodies, on the one hand, by a stable administrative secretariat providing the logistical support to the groups' work, and on the other hand, by a technical secretariat. The Commission services attach great importance to maintaining a balance of interests between the various nationalities in the chairmanship of the coordination groups and in the technical secretariats, and consider that, while a single body can provide the administrative secretariat for different groups of notified bodies, each group should have its own technical secretariat, in view of the technical knowledge particular to the areas covered by each of the directives concerned. This approach is likely to facilitate the meetings, where needed, of intersectoral groups to deal with problems relating to 2 or more directives. The objective of the call for tenders to be launched in 2009 is to select the technical secretariats for the groups of notified bodies under the directives mentioned above. The requested tasks include for example:
- taking part of the meetings of the sector groups in Brussels;
- preparing the agenda in collaboration with the chairman of the coordination of the notified bodies;
- drafting the technical working papers;
- keeping informed and reporting to the group on the work of the intersectoral groups, on implementation of relevant Community legislation according to information provided by the Commission services, and on European standardisation;
- collect and format useful technical information to allow the notified bodies to carry out their activity in the most effective way;
- propose answers or solutions to technical problems raised at the meetings of notified bodies; take part in meetings at the specific request of the Commission services when they are convened to deal with specific technical questions;
- provide for technical advice at the request of the Commission services on subjects related to the application of the relevant directive; provide for intermediate and final management reports of the activities of the technical secretariat.

LA PLATA, Md. (WUSA) -- A Southern Maryland family is fighting to save their son's life. They received the bad news just days ago, that5-year-old Adam Lumpkins' cancer had returned and this time doctors say he only has one month to live.
Jamie Lumpkins is Adam's mother. "to know that he's in pain and there's nothing I can do to make it better. It's not as simple. I can't kiss it and make it go away."
Jamie and Christopher learned a week before Thanksgiving that Adam's Leukemia had spread to his brain and needs a bone marrow transplant.
They're hoping a match will be found at Saturday's bone marrow drive at the La Plata Volunteer Fire Department.
"knowing this is our last chance is the scariest thing."
Adam has spent more than half his life in hospitals. Most days he doesn't feel good but smiles through the pain.
Adam got to escape his troubles for a moment when he got to ride in a fire truck.
His two older siblings are asking Santa this Christmas for their little brother to be healthy again.
Jamie and Christopher Lumpkins, parents, "He says his own prayers every night and prays that God makes his cancer go away, for God to make his head feel better. To hear your son ask when my cancer goes away, can I have a puppy? He shouldn't know to ask questions like that."
Somewhere in this room could be the miracle to save little Adam's life.
Amber Long, relative, "it would be a great Christmas if we could fix this little guy."
Adam's mother is 7 and a half months pregnant. She says it's bittersweet.
Hundreds of people turned up to get tested. A simple buccal swab is all you have to do for the initial test.
Here's a link to the bone marrow program where you can get a test kit.
Mechanicsville volunteer fire department in St. Mary's county will hold another bone marrow drive on Saturday.

And in line with the last few posts...I'd have been very unhappy if the resolution of the suspense was a granite grave.

By CHRIS SCHILLIGOtherwords
It was late, I was grumpy, and the woman in front of me was buying cigarettes.
I noticed the items in her cart: brand-name snacks, colas, and frozen foods. I looked at how she dressed, considered the carton of cigarettes she requested, and made a wager to myself that she would pay with government assistance.
I was right.
After she peeled off money from a roll of cash to cover the smokes, she produced a state-issued food card. Our eyes locked as she handed it to the cashier, and in that moment I became convinced she knew that a stranger had taken her measure, judged her life, and found it wanting. I also knew that it wasn't the first time.
I was ashamed. Who am I to judge how others live?
I'm the unworthy heir to a lifetime of luck and good timing, augmented by a strong work ethic that I never asked for, but that was granted me nonetheless.
I grew up in a single-parent household where money was tight, but where my needs were met. I was fortunate to attend college. I'm lucky to have a teaching career that remains in demand and to have three employers whose checks make the mortgage and car payments.
If any one in a long line of dominoes had fallen a different way, I could have found myself in that woman's position: having food choices criticized by strangers, enduring cold stares when buying cigarettes that maybe aren't even for her.
I felt ashamed because I'd aligned myself, however briefly, with people who believe the poor must be punished. I was associating with those folks who say the government must drug-test welfare recipients and cut assistance payments to families whose children don't make good grades.
Many Americans who never imagined they'd find themselves on food stamps, living in subsidized housing, or taking other forms of government assistance have swallowed their pride and accepted help. The Urban Institute notes that 51.4 percent of Americans will live in poverty before the age of 65. Those who haven't, or haven't yet, are in the minority.
People in this country who work full-time for the minimum wage bring home an income well below the $19,530 poverty threshold for a family of three.
Could they have made better career and financial choices? Possibly. But who among us hasn't made an unwise decision and suffered later?
We have a cockeyed view of poverty in America. Those who are poor, we believe, must live like saints, dress in hand-me-downs, eat substandard food, and accept any position, no matter how hazardous or demeaning. They shouldn't have decent housing, smart phones, cable TV, or brand-name clothing. They should live perfectly, with never a misstep or a bad habit.
But show me the person who doesn't indulge the occasional vice. Show me parents who don't want to give their children the best, even if it means stretching a budget beyond the breaking point.
If these are crimes, most of us are guilty.
Yet we expect people in poverty to push forward constantly, never pausing to enjoy even the simplest pleasures, and yearning for the day when they can escape into the middle class.
It's not my place to judge if somebody on government assistance finds solace in the occasional cigarette or snack food. It's not my place to monitor what they buy. It is my place to be grateful for what I have and what I've been able to do, and to help people who haven't had similar good fortune.
The next time I'm in line, I'll look down at my feet, up at the lights, or into my hands - anywhere besides at how someone pays for her order, which is none of my damn business.

|Efforts Underway to Assist Displaced Families
Individuals and agencies in Avery County are coming together to provide assistance to three families displaced by the July 16 landslide on Highway 194. Weeks of soaking rain led to the collapse of roadway, sending tons of debris down the mountainside , covering two occupied mobile homes on Blevins Creek Road. A third mobile home was later condemned by the fire marshal.
Several animals were killed in the landslide, but residents of the two homes covered by debris escaped safely. All of those affected by the slide are currently residing with family. The residents of the third home were able to return to retrieve essential belongings, but the two families whose homes are covered were not so fortunate. According to Madison Tapio, who is organizing a fundraiser for the families, they have "lost everything."
Tapio, who heard about the incident and sought out a way to help, is supporting the families with a bake sale. She and others are selling homemade baked goods at the Newland Rock Gym from 7 to 9 p.m. from July 22 to July 24. All proceeds will benefit those affected by the landslide. Donations will also be collected at the sale.
Tapio said the families had received a small amount of assistance from the Red Cross, but they are still experiencing extreme difficulty following the loss of their homes. All of those affected had small children living with them. The families did not have home insurance, and requests for help from FEMA have gone unanswered. They are currently working with the Attorney General to determine eligibility for other assistance.
Reaching Avery Ministry (R.A.M.) is also serving the families. Located at 147 New Vale Road, Newland, R.A.M. is accepting donations of household goods, clothing and money.

7 Reasons Why Alexander Wang Is The Perfect H&M Collaboration
- 1 of 8
Amidst hosting a secret Coachella soiree with H&M, Wang announced he'll be the next designer to collaborate with the ultra-cool Swedish retailer. The collection is set to hit stores November 6, but there's no reason to not start counting all the reasons why this is a fashion match made in heaven.
- 2 of 8
Sartorially Subtle
We're not saying you can't still wear your chunky, wool Isabel Marant x H&M cardigan (it really is so good), but there's something to be said about Wang's urban, minimal pieces that we suspect will be wearable for years to come.
- 3 of 8
Shameless Inspiration
Now we definitely feel justified about having a picture of his adorable niece on our inspiration board (don't act like you haven't thought about it).
- 4 of 8
Covetable Campaign
The blogosphere was buzzing when the S/S 14 Alexander Wang ads were released; we expect a similarly crazed reaction for this destined-to-be-cool collaboration's ad campaign.
- 5 of 8
Team USA
Wang will be the first American fashion designer to do a collaboration with H&M. USA! USA!
- 6 of 8
The It-Bag
A signature-style Wang bag without breaking the bank — it's pretty much our fantasy, realized.
- 7 of 8
Model Behavior
Thanks to this collaboration, you're that much closer to perfecting your model-off-duty style.

Wang T-Shirts For Everyone
Enough said, really.

At this point, we can confidently say we've experimented (at least once!) with just about every kind of processed denim trend out there. Whether it's ripping holes into our favorite jeans to give them that perfectly distressed look, splattering them with paint, or dying them bright colors, we're constantly on the lookout for intriguing ways to update this hardworking fabric. That said, we were beyond ecstatic when we discovered the latest trend to hit our tried-and-true blue jeans: dip-dyed denim! Doused almost completely in bleach, the resulting look is incredibly cool and exudes a laidback, beachy vibe that's hard to resist. Not only are they a wonderful addition to your summer wardrobe, the dying technique is super simple to do, making it the perfect subject for today's Do It Yourself story!
The idea for this D.I.Y. adventure comes from the Dries van Noten S/S 11 runway, specifically, the dip-dye pieces like the pair of wide-leg jeans shown above. Inspired by Belgian painter Jef Verheyen's ability to capture light, Noten turned out a number of visually striking separates that featured an ombre effect of bright colors and gorgeous ceramic floral prints fading into white. Standout pieces included the Long Sleeved Shirt ($425) and the Daryl Dress ($700), but the hands-down frontrunner for our entire office was the Pima 9020 Jeans ($313, 800.558.1855). The wide-leg jeans are a statement-making piece, true, yet they're also completely wearable, and can be styled casually with a t-shirt and sandals or dressed up with a ladylike jacket and heels. These dip-dyed jeans are certainly making an impact both on and off the runways this season--it's no wonder we're smitten!
Now for the good news: you don't have to invest in designer pieces to get the look! In fact, with just a few household items and some easy-to-follow instructions, you can make your very own iteration in no time. Seeing as we're headed into the sizzling summer months, we thought it would be awesome to create a pair of dip-dyed cutoffs, since they're the perfect piece for afternoon barbecues and music festivals alike! Excited to get started, we dialed up our D.I.Y. master, Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This, who happily shared all the need-to-know steps. The final product is too cute for words, so be sure to read on for details!
-Levi's 501 Worn Roll Shorts ($49.50)
-Home Depot 2.75 Gallon Neat 'n Tidy Bucket ($5)
-Clorox Bleach ($5)
-Westcott 12" Wood Ruler ($.99)
-Firm Grip Disposable Nitrile Gloves ($15/box)
-Heinz Distilled White Vinegar ($3/gallon)
Before you begin: make sure to wear plastic gloves before you begin working to protect your hands.
1. To create bleach solution, mix two parts water and one part bleach in a plastic bucket.
2. Prepare your shorts by threading a ruler though all of the belt loops. The ruler will serve as a weight to balance the shorts while they are soaking in the bleach solution.
3. Dip the shorts into the liquid to the desired depth. Rest the ruler on the top of the bucket to allow the shorts to hang in the bleach solution without being completely covered. Leave the shorts soaking for approx 30 minutes. (Note: the bleach will run slightly, so we recommend leaving an additional inch out of the solution.)
4. After the bleach has turned the shorts the desired white shade (may take a few dips), remove shorts from bleach solution and soak in a sink or bathtub with two parts water and one part vinegar for approximately five to ten minutes to stop the bleaching process.
5. Let the shorts dry out completely, and then cut them to your desired length. Gently pull along the edges of the shorts to create a more distressed and ragged look.
Please note: Wash and dry the shorts alone for the first time. After that, you will be able to put into regular loads for future washes.--Jessica Baker

Issue Overview
We believe that clothes are more than one of Buddhism?s four basic needs. They are not simply something that covers our body but reveals our character and personality. They can reflect your belief and even your desire. Issue's style displays primitive cultures, religion, faith and journeys together parades themselves in works. We truly believe and respect in individualism, diversity and uniqueness of each culture. Consequently, we take pleasure in making clothes that represents individuality as derived from ones experience,
belief, and journey in the optimistic ways. We also love to travel for exploring the exotic cultures; however, since many severe environmental situations are emerging around the world, we revolutionize ourselves into Green Tourists who have a complete environmental awareness. We believe that if everybody tries to
save the world, only small actions of a single individual can create an immense outcome for mankind.
Philosophy :
Our brand embraces the philosophical thinking "Compassion" and "Never Give up"
of Dalai Lama who has always been our inspiration.
Bangkok is the closest destination to this result:

Retrospect on creating Molson Coors Community Blog…cheersShare Tweet
Always fun when people ask about our blog. How did it start and why do we do it? It started because our team really felt that we just weren't breaking through traditional media with all the great things we are doing in communities. After 224 years, we're truly proud of the difference that we can make in connecting with Canadians in their communities coast to coast to coast. http://blog.molson.com/community/ helps us be in conversation and connections with Canadians. I was most inspired by "Naked Conversations" by Scoble and Israel…to get on with doing it the "right way" in early 2008. Always open to suggestions on how people think we can improve our conversations and presence in social media. Cheers @MolsonFerg

The comedy-romance "Almost Maine" opens Thursday at USU Eastern's Geary Theater with repeat performances every night except Sunday and Wednesday until Feb. 16. Curtain time each night is 7:30 p.m.
Professional actor Morgan Lund is director.
"Grady [McEvoy] asked me to submit some plays," Lund explained. "I submitted 'Almost Maine' because I just love it. One of the most difficult things we have to do in life is create relationships. And relationships based on love are the most important things in our life, whether we know it or not. It's not money, it's not a career, it's love. We forget how important love is in our lives."
Lund explained that there are nine different scenes in this play, nine different relationships. "There's also a lot more to it. It takes place in rural America, and it speaks to me when I'm in Carbon County. It wouldn't speak to me if I was in Chicago."
The Aurora Borealis is what ties the entire play together, Lund pointed out. The theater department has purchased five star projectors to thrust the audience into the moment onstage. "Everywhere we can put a star, we'll put a star. The theatrical experience will be like no other. Grady is designing an environment that will be very different."
He believes that the hardest thing about the play has been the casting. "I have 14 people in the cast, I found 14 people I wanted to work with...the most difficult thing about directing this play is getting out of my head. Getting out of my space and letting it happen."
It's a sensitive play, Lund says. There are somber moments, but there are aspects of love for everyone. "That horrible four letter word, love, is what makes a basketball player the best basketball player. It's what makes going home the most important part of your day...It's a comedy about a four letter word. [Everyone] is going to want to make out when we're done."
McEvoy is set designer, Corey Ewan, is costume designer, and Josh Bone is stage manager.
The cast includes Scott Zaborski, Lisha Michaels, Tyrell Clement, Annie Morey, Josh Bone, Leandra Arroyo, Madison Alleman, DeeJay Laughbon, Braden Hampel, Alissa Peters, Tim Swenson, Dwayne Huffaker, Carrie Huffaker and Savana Miller.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, $5 for non-USU Eastern students and faculty, and $2 for USU students with ID.

To enhance focusing capability, the VIXIA HF R42 also features Focus Assist. Normally found in professional broadcast-quality cameras, this feature helps in capturing your subject in razor-sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject, which is automatically cancelled when you start recording.
Advanced Quick Start is a new convenience that allows you to start shooting immediately whenever the action starts. Just open the LCD screen and the power is on. Shut down is just as easy: simply close the screen.
Audio Scene Select offers five modes that automatically optimize settings based on the recording situation, making it easy to record realistic, immersive audio in a range of situations.
When it comes to saving your memories, the VIXIA HF R42 offers plenty of flexibility. In addition to traditional file storage methods, you can connect the camcorder directly to an external hard disk drive by using the optional UA-100 USB Adapter. Now when you're on vacation or at other times when you'll be shooting a lot of video, you can back up data directly to an external hard disk, and even play video on a TV through your camcorder. An external hard disk is more economical than multiple SD cards, and connects simply to the camcorder with the optional USB cable.
Other cinematic looks can be had through the use of Cinema-Look Filters. This feature offers a choice of seven varied built-in adjustable filters, which give the look of a variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma and other aspects of the image's quality. The looks can be previewed in the LCD display while shooting, and also applied post-capture for additional convenience and versatility. Choose from:
Cinema Standard — Recreates the warm tones and muted highlights of classic film
Cool — Adds a bluish tint for cool, futuristic-looking scenes
Dramatic B&W — Creates bold black-and-white video with high contrast and grain
Old Movies — Gives video the aged look of old cinema
Nostalgic — Recreates the look of old '70s TV programs
Sepia — Applies a sepia tint for an antique, faded look
Vivid — Accentuates primary colors for a bright, cheerful look
The brightness of each filter can be adjusted low, medium or high, for even greater control. When Cinema Standard is selected, color depth, softening, and contrast can also be adjusted.
Video SnapShot
Video Snapshot allows you to capture the highlights of a once-in-a-lifetime trip or a family milestone with the same ease as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips or select your favorite clips while in Playback Mode and blend in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie that will grab everyone's attention. Video Snapshot on the VIXIA HF R42 allows selectable recording time (2, 4, or 8 seconds). Additionally, audio from an external source such as an MP3 player can be played along with the Snapshot movie, and playback can be controlled from that source.
Canon helps you get more out of your camcorder with a wide range of accessories that inspire your creativity and productivity alike. The Wireless Microphone WM-V1 streams audio wirelessly from subjects up to 164 feet away. It's perfect for adding your subject's voice at times when you can't get in close to shoot, and can also be used as a stand-alone transceiver to cue shooting and more.
The same high quality Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is available in Canon high definition camcorders. Up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Of the faces tracked, 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time.
In fact, the system is so intelligent that it will recognize faces turned downwards or sideways. In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This feature is convenient in searching for clips that feature the specific subject's face. In search and playback, use of the Face Index will display those frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail in each shot in which it appears. Your selected face can also be linked as a timeline to further identify footage containing your subject.
Smart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video while the camcorder takes care of all the details. The system recognizes 38 shooting situations based on numerous factors, then automatically chooses the optimal settings for the situation. When you shoot a nearby subject in telephoto zoom mode, Auto Tele Macro gives your video the high-end artistic effect of a well-focused subject against a beautifully blurred background.
The display quality of the camcorder's LCD screen has been significantly boosted with new technology. Vivid Clear View is just that: a sharp, bright, beautifully detailed display that helps you create your best videos.
The VIXIA HF R42 camcorder's sophisticated shooting mode options offer superior creativity and functionality. 24p Cinema Mode gives your video a film-like feel, making it look as if it were shot at the same frame rate as movie film, with a frame capture rate of 24p recorded at 60i. The camcorder also gives you the option of recording in 30p Progressive Mode, which is ideal for clips you intend to post online.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.
