CANTON They have been told all of their lives that they will never have it, they will never do it and they will never amount to anything.
Victims of domestic abuse have been part of a crime that is more complex than others, but there is hope and access to resources to make life better with the help of local law enforcement and agencies.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells said domestic abuse knows no professional or fiscal boundaries and it goes beyond physical abuse.
The dynamics of domestic violence, a pattern of coercive behavior the purpose of which is to establish and maintain power and control over ones intimate partner, the sheriff said, go beyond something as simple as a theft, for example.
This has other victims built into it, Sheriff Wells said. Oftentimes there are children involved. It could be children; it could be in-laws. Other people can get victimized in some types of domestic incidents.
As a part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Sheriff Wells and St. Lawrence Valley Renewal House for Victims of Family Violence want people who fear the repercussions of reporting a domestic incident to know that there are options and resources available to help them improve their situation.
Notification programs, such as the Family Court Order of Protection Notification Projects Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification and the New York Sheriffs Victim Information and Notification Everyday Hotline are both available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
SAVIN – NY allows domestic violence victims to register to be notified by phone, text message or email when a Family Court order of protection has been served by registering at www.savin-ny.org. VINE allows victims to register at www.vinelink.com or toll-free at 1-888-VINE-4-NY to be notified by phone or email in the event of an offenders release from jail or prison.
They are protected, but not only that, since an order of protection is only a piece of paper, they can take actions to make sure they are out of the location or make sure somebody else is with them, Sheriff Wells said.
Renewal House Executive Director Ilene J. Burke said while victims are made aware of what their options are, education is the best thing in trying to reach the community to help it understand more about the dynamics about domestic violence and where victims can turn for help.
We always talk about making domestic violence your business, Ms. Burke said. They pick up the phone; they call because theyre hearing that violent argument that is going on next door. I call it educating the jury pool, too, but if you get people that hit there and they dont understand what it is all about, how are they going to make a good decision.
Ms. Burke said what victims really need to know is that Renewal House is a confidential agency.
We would not discuss anything with another agency outside of here without the written release from them, Ms. Burke said. Renewal Houses 24-hour hotline is 379-9845. It is located at 3 Chapel St., Canton.
Renewal House Program Director Shari L. Fawcett said if there is a crisis, victims have called the agency first as opposed to law enforcement for a number of reasons, safety being one.
They might have been threatened by their abuser, Mrs. Fawcett said. They might have a job in law enforcement where any police contact may affect their well-being, so there are a lot of reasons why they might not contact the police first.
Kelly faced just such a situation 25 years ago. We are omitting her last name out of concern for her safety.
Kelly was in a four-year marriage that involved two children. The legal system was much different at that time, she said, and getting help was very difficult.
I had struggles with that because my abuser had relatives and friends that worked in law enforcement in the town I lived in and his aunt was also the mayor in the town I lived in, Kelly said. It was extremely difficult to be believed. It was extremely difficult to report anything without ramifications to myself and my family.
Kelly said she eventually got out of her situation with help from outside the county in which she lived, but not before she was victimized again for having contact with police and was threatened to be arrested for violating an order of protection, although it was for her abuser to stay away from her.
Now in her ninth year working with Renewal House as a womans support group facilitator and counselor, Kelly said she sees a little bit of her story in everyone she encounters and lets them know she is with them every step of the way, regardless of the choices they make.
The important thing, all the women agreed, is that things will get better.
It is a very hard thing to say to victims when they are in the middle of a crisis, Kelly said. We do see victims who are in extreme crisis mode when they first come to us and then we see them, maybe a week later, sometimes a month later, come in with a smile on their face.
Whether it is a first apartment, first job or holding custody papers in their hands after they were told they will never have their children, victims of abuse just shine, Kelly said.
They really have a lot that they have accomplished. It may seem small sometimes, but it is a big deal to them. They have been told all of their lives, they will never have it, they will never do it. They will never amount to anything and here they are, going back to school, theyre working, they have custody of their children, they are able to take them to the playground for the first time without fear of retaliation. We see that a lot and so it just makes our day. We like to see how they have survived.

Blame it on the buzz about Kate Middleton's dress, but I have fashion on the brain. And it so happens that Seattle Fashion Week is coming up May 4 through 15 ("Fashion Week-and-a-Half" wasn't as catchy). What in good glory does this have to do with mobile tagging, you ask?
Excellent question. Just a couple of months ago, London Fashion Week worked with the digital agency Skive to incorporate Tags into their promo materials:
"[The British Fashion Council] printed the codes on tickets, flyers and posters. Which allowed users to get real-time show and event schedule[s]. The Microsoft Tags were also displayed on big outdoor screens, bringing print and outdoor efforts mobile. Best of all the Tags provided the British Fashion Council with invaluable analytics normally unattainable from offline media."
The London Fashion Week crew announced their use of Tag in a press release and on their site with instructions for using it. The mobile experience also gave attendees a heads-up if fashion shows were running late. How many times have you been to an event or conference where certain sessions were rescheduled or cancelled? It can be frustrating – but using Tag means fashion-show planners can get up-to-the-minute schedules directly into the hands of attendees. Pretty chic, no?
What about Tags used in the actual clothes, like fashion designer Rachel Roy did? Stay tuned for an upcoming slideshow of the best barcode fashion here on the Tag blog. Update: Check out our slideshow of barcode fashion!
Do you think mobile tagging improves events like fashion shows? Fashion Week made a great show of Tag, but did they miss any ideas? Voice your opinion in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter.

About the Word Mole game
The object of the Word Mole® game is to form words using the letters in the garden. If you form a word using letters that are directly above, below, or beside each other in the garden, you receive new letters which you can use to form new words. Otherwise, holes appear in the garden, making it harder to form new words. You can replace a hole with a new letter by forming a word that uses a letter that is beside the hole.
In a single-player game, you complete a level by submitting enough words to reach the required point goal before the time expires. In a practice game, you have unlimited time to play a game. In a multiplayer game, you compete against other players to win awards for achievements such as submitting the longest word, or receiving the least number of holes.

When you're cooking method needs a little caressing, and you find your sauces, syrups, or delicate dishes are burning more often than you'd like, maybe it's time to put a few double boilers to work. Double boilers are essentially two stock pots nestled into each other, with the bottom pot holding water and the top holding your ingredients of choice, and it's the combination of the two that works all the magic. Without the inside pot actually touching the burners, there's less chance of your food getting singed, crispy, or burnt black; instead, the boiling water is what creates the cooking heat. Double boilers are essential for things like melted chocolate, and keeping a few in your kitchen kit is a great way to always be prepared.

LEWISTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Six months without serving a hot meal has meant six months of uncertainty for the future of the Hope Haven Homeless Shelter in Lewiston.
After receiving a donation to upgrade kitchen equipment, the shelter director is certain their service will continue -- he's just not certain who he should thank.
In August, Pastor John Robbins received an email from someone offering to pay for any upgrades the kitchen needed to get back in business.
At first, Robbins wasn't sure if the offer was too good to be true. Eighteen thousand dollars in donations later, the new kitchen equipment and electrical system is a reality.
"All we can do is express our heartfelt gratitude on the occasions that we can do it, and hope they see it," he said.
In the six months without hot meals, traffic coming through the shelter has slowed.
In the first week with the new kitchen, it has started to pick back up, and Robbins expects the shelter to get back to its usual 75 meals per day in the near future.
He said the new kitchen equipment comes at just the right time -- with the holiday season bringing the busiest time of the year.

Actor Pat Morita is shown in this
undated file photo. (AP Photo)
Pat Morita enjoyed a long career in a Hollywood where good roles for Asian actors were scarce. On what would have been his 81st birthday, we look back on his life and career in this story we originally published June 2011.
Born Noriyuki Morita in Isleton, California, Pat Morita, the son of migrant fruit pickers, had a difficult youth. After contracting tuberculosis at age 2, he spent much of his childhood confined to a series of hospital beds, often in a full body cast. Told he would never walk again, he only accomplished the feat after a surgeon fused four of his vertebrae together when he was 11 years old.
Almost immediately upon his release from the hospital, his family was sent to a Japanese internment camp in Gila River, Arizona, where they stayed for the duration of WWII. Moving back to Northern California, the family opened a Chinese restaurant in Sacramento, where a teenaged Morita would entertain diners with his jokes. He described the enterprise to the Los Angeles Times as, "a Japanese family running a Chinese restaurant in a black neighborhood with a clientele of blacks, Filipinos and everybody else who didn't fit in any of the other neighborhoods."
In the early 1960s, he launched a stand-up act as "The Hip Nip." The self-deprecating, stereotype-embracing moniker is a good indication of his attitude about his own ethnicity (during a nightclub performance for Pearl Harbor survivors in Waikiki, he once apologized on behalf of his people for "screwing up your harbor"). It was an attitude that would prove practical in a Hollywood that seemed interested only in stock Asian characters.
Morita's debut film role provides a good example. In the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie, he plays a villainous henchman named Bun Foo. By age 30, Morita had quit a job with Aerojet General to go into showbiz full-time, sustaining himself with a series of small parts on TV, many which were billed in the script only as 'House Boy' or 'Tree Surgeon.' One of his more memorable was his role as Rear Admiral Ryunosuke Kusaka in 1976's WWII saga Midway.
He may have been able to eke out a living forever playing bit parts that called for Asian faces be they Japanese, Chinese, Korean or other, but we might not be remembering Morita today had he not landed a small but memorable role in the hit sitcom Happy Days. For two seasons, the Cunninghams and friends had congregated at Arnold's Restaurant, but the diner owner was never seen. When it was decided that the audience needed to meet Arnold, show creator Garry Marshall called Morita and offered him the part of Matsuo "Arnold" Takahashi.
Morita left Happy Days after one season when he received an offer to star in a Welcome Back, Kotter spin-off called Mr. T and Tina. Playing Taro Takahashi, Morita became the first Asian American to have a leading role in a primetime show, but it proved short-lived. The show was cancelled after only five episodes.
He enjoyed a recurring role in Sanford and Son as the punnily named Ah Chew and would eventually return to Happy Days in 1982, as well as appear on Laverne & Shirley as Mr. Wong.
But Morita's defining role came when he was 52 years old.
That's when he won the part of Mr. Miyagi, a semi-reclusive, wise Okinawan karate master who helps New Jersey transplant teen Daniel-san confront California bullies by teaching him self-defense through a grueling regimen of household chores. Producer Jerry Weintraub originally wanted a Japanese, rather than Japanese-American, actor for the role, and some might be surprised to learn Morita struggled to produce an authentic sounding Japanese accent. The producer also insisted that the actor be billed as the more authentically ethnic sounding Noriyuki "Pat" Morita.
The Karate Kid became one of the best-loved movies of the 1980s, with Mr. Miyagi's "wax on, wax off" enduring still as one of the biggest catchphrases to come out of that decade. The movie spawned three sequels (for which Morita would reprise his role), a video game, and an animated TV series. It turned the virtually unknown Ralph Macchio into a teen idol and earned Morita an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Ironically, given the dearth of good Asian roles available at the time, he lost to Cambodian American Haing S. Ngor who won for his part in The Killing Fields.
The runaway success of The Karate Kid would spark a career resurgence for Morita, though many of his subsequent roles were in forgettable martial arts pics like Do or Die, American Ninja V, Bloodsport III and The Karate Dog. But he did lend his talents to more socially conscious productions, narrating a documentary about Japanese-American baseball and starring in Only the Brave, an indie feature about the 100th Infantry Batallion/442nd Regimental Combat Team, a WWII fighting unit made up entirely of Japanese Americans and one which became the most highly decorated unit in the history of the U.S. military, including among their ranks 21 Medal of Honor recipients.
It proved to be one of his final projects. Morita died on November 24, 2005 of kidney failure at his home in Las Vegas. He was 73 years old.

Hawaii Average household size, 2005-2009 by County
Loading map...
Value for Hawaii (Average): 2.92
Data item: Average household size, 2006-2010
Source: U. S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. Updated every year. http://factfinder2.census.gov
A household includes all the persons who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence. A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single room that is occupied (or if vacant, is intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other persons in the building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a common hall. The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated persons who share living arrangements. (People not living in households are classified as living in group quarters.)Persons per household, or average household size, is obtained by dividing the number of persons in households by the number of households (or householders).
Scope and Methodology:
These data are collected in the American Community Survey (ACS). The data are estimates and are subject to sampling variability. The data for each geographic area are presented together with margins of error at factfinder2.census.gov. The data are period estimates, that is, they represent the characteristics of the population over a specific 60-month data collection period.

The Tale of the Tapes
The climate-controlled vaults in the George Eastman House archive and the Louis B. Mayer Conservation Center are home to the Motion Picture Department's collection of over 24,000 films.
But there is one shelving unit that holds important moving images in a non-film format: analog tape.
The department holds over 200 videocassettes in varying standards, with most of them in the obsolete three-quarter-inch (or "U-Matic") format. The tapes contain things such as television recordings from the 1970s to the 1980s, interviews with filmmakers and actors, archival footage, and early video transfers of films from the collection. While not ultimately as critical to the collection as film material, there is still an urgent need to examine the content on these tapes and digitally preserve what is deemed important.
This urgency stems largely from risks to the physical materials themselves; most of the tapes are at least twenty years old and suffer from increasing levels of decay due to the shedding of the magnetic oxide recording layer on the surface of the tapes over time. Also, the obsolete broadcast-quality decks required to play the cassettes are becoming scarce and more difficult to properly maintain. Time, technology, and the looming potential for a zombie apocalypse are therefore driving the need to preserve the analog tapes.
The students of the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation are assisting with this ongoing project. As part of their training in digital preservation, students are using the video capture equipment in the department's digital lab to convert many of these tapes into lossless digital video files. These "digital masters" will then be tagged with metadata, cataloged, and stored in the vaults on archival-quality LTO-5 tapes.
One interesting subset of tapes – the original BetaMax cassettes of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation raw footage – are on extended loan to George Eastman House by the filmmakers and have recently been digitally preserved. This process will be examined more in an upcoming post by the Selznick students who preserved the materials.

HERNDON, Va. (WUSA9) -Police have identified the 14-year-old boy who was killed after climbing on top of a elementary school in Herndon on Tuesday night as Bennett Rill of Oak Hill, Va.
Fairfax County Police said the four teens climbed onto the rooftop of Fox Mill Elementary School in Herndon, Virginia just before 9 p.m. on Tuesday. We're told they were on the back side of the school when 14-year-old Bennett Rill got tangled up in power lines there.
A tweet that we read from Fairfax County Fire and Rescue said he was dangling by that line 8 to 10 feet above the ground.
It is believed that Rill was electrocuted and was pronounced dead on the scene, a Fairfax County Police spokesperson said. Police say the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will make the final determination about the cause and manner of death.
"A couple younger kids were trying to climb on top of the school, and when you climb on top of the school there are like wires, people say there are like, wires to the side and they touched them, and one kid like got caught in them, and then he got electrocuted and his friends were trying to help him down, so they got electrocuted too. And then one kid was flown out, and the other two were taken away in ambulances," said a boy at the scene.
Two 14-year-old boys and one 15-year-old boy were taken to Fairfax INOVA Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, say police.
It looks like the power lines run from two temporary classroom trailers that you can gain access to through an alley near John Milton Drive. Crews are trying to secure the area in the back of the school, so no other children climb onto the roof.
Derick Rills, Father, "maybe he could have made a better choice but in terms of what he did with his life, I couldn't be prouder. He is everything you ever want in a kid, respectful, fun, played basketball out here. I want to make it clear, there is no one to blame, I don't care about blame. I care about carrying on his spirit.
I think it's important to remember Bennett in our hearts and what he did. And in some small way that might keep him alive."
Bennett's father, Derick Rills says his son was a straight-A student. Played basketball and football. Bennett had recently won a basketball championship (Braddock Road Youth Club).
His father says Bennett was helping a friend who was hurt when his son got tangled in the power lines and electrocuted.
Fairfax County Public Schools says grief counselors will be on hand for the rest of the week. This is the second death of a student from this school year at Rachel Carson Middle School.
Classmates just planted a tree in honor of 8th grader Chris Peterson who was murdered by his father in September.
The Rill family is trying to set up a memorial fun in their son's honor.
The school sent the following letter home to parents:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am greatly saddened to report that a student of ours - Bennett Rill - died last night in the tragic accident that occurred at Fox Mill Elementary. Bennett had just completed 8th grade at Carson Middle School. He was an excellent student and well liked by all who knew him and he will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with the Rill family during this extremely difficult time. Three other boys were injured in the incident and two of them are also Carson students.
As I mentioned in a previous communication, we have initiated support from the FCPS Crisis Response team to provide students, parents, and staff with information that would help them to cope with their feelings of sadness and grief. Special counseling services are being made available to anyone who may be impacted and will continue to be available throughout the week.
A sudden death like this can have an effect on students. For that reason, we hope that you will listen to your son or daughter as well as discuss with them their feelings and reactions to this tragedy. We are taking every step we can to be responsive to the needs of our students and their families. Keep us informed if there are ways we can support you.
On behalf of all members of the school staff and students, we extend our deepest condolences to the Rill family and their friends. My thanks to all who have expressed their genuine concern for the family and for your continued support of Carson Middle School.
Augie Frattali

Huntsman School's Social Media Efforts Outrank Hundreds of Schools
When it comes to social media—Facebook, Twitter, YouTube—the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business has vaulted into the ranks of the top 30 AACSB accredited business schools in the United States, thanks to the efforts of one graduate student. In April 2012, the Huntsman School ranked 8th in Twitter followers, 15th in Facebook followers, and 29th in YouTube views. This puts it ahead of all other Utah business schools combined.
This all comes thanks to a single student, Sterling Morris, who recently graduated in May of 2012 with a master's in management information systems (MIS). Sterling said he has little interest in his own personal social media presence. And yet, thanks to his efforts, his school can boast that its Facebook and Twitter communities are outdoing some major business schools.
"Creating a social media community can be rewarding because, to some extent, you can keep score," Sterling said. "It's nice that we can say that our Facebook site has more followers than business schools from universities like University of Southern California, Duke, Cornell, Georgetown, and Northwestern."
Sterling Morris expanded the reach of the Huntsman School's social media efforts
It wasn't long after Sterling was hired to help out with the photography needs of the Huntsman School of Business in 2010 that he took an interest in the school's Facebook and Twitter presence. While he neglected his own personal Facebook page, he was fascinated to see the impact things like Twitter and Facebook were having on businesses and organizations.
In April of 2012, just two years after he started, Sterling did his own study to find out how the Huntsman School of Business Facebook site compared to other business schools. At that point it had more than 5,000 Facebook followers making it number 15 in the nation among the nearly 500 business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). That was a 967 percent increase from when he started helping out.
He found the school's new Twitter account had 280 followers in 2010 and now has more than 9,000 followers, ranking it number eight in the country among accredited business schools in April of 2012. The school has more followers than all other Utah business schools combined. He launched a YouTube account that has drawn more than 40,000 views, which ranked it at #29 in the nation.
Sterling said he started by studying what other business schools and major companies were doing to make their social media efforts successful. He said he discovered three core things they were all doing well.
"I discovered a well-managed social media presence is consistent, is responsive, and it's engaging," he said.
He said he doesn't measure success just by how many people have "liked" the Huntsman Facebook site. He said real reach is better identified by the type of content that generates responses and discussions. He began to experiment and to tailor his messaging to meet the needs of his audience. He said such experimentation is necessary because what works for one company may not work for another organization.
He said that while a serious Seahawks fan, for example, may be thirsty for every tweet that comes out about his team, a loyal Goodyear customer may not want to hear from a tire company every day. By experimenting and paying attention to his numbers, he made progress.
"Look at the numbers and you can discover interesting facts and trends that aren't intuitive," he said.
He said he discovered that the Huntsman community was interested in positive news about the school and photos of events happening on the Logan campus.
"Our business community makes a huge investment in the business school, from tuition dollars to the time people invest in the business school," he said. "Through their career they carry their degree with them. The Huntsman School community is heavily invested and very proud of the business school, and people want to hear about what's going on here."
Sterling has a knack for identifying needs of his audience and finding ways to meet them, according to the Huntsman staffer who was his supervisor, Steve Eaton.
"The key to unleashing Sterling's success was to get out of his way," Steve said. "He gave our social media a voice, and it became a resource to students who wanted to know what was going on and who was in the middle of it. If someone tweeted a question, Sterling always found the answer."
Sterling also went out and followed others and engaged online with other people who were interested in business news in Utah, even if they were not necessarily interested in the Huntsman School of Business. He cultivated a network of people and shared through social media information helpful to their careers, whether they were students or alumni in the workplace.

The Starry Night
Art Print by Vincent Van Gogh | #9207
Art Print by Vincent Van Gogh | #9207
Starry Night has become one of the most instantly recognisable and well known artworks. Painted from memory, after being awed by the view at night from his window, the work represents Van Gogh's experience of nature and the feelings it inspires. The thick sweeping strokes of paint show the sky alive with swirling clouds illuminated by a bright crescent moon and flickering stars. In contrast to the movement and vibrancy of the sky the town below appears calm and peaceful, the neat straight brushstrokes unique in the painting. Completing the scene is a cypress plant to the left of the image that appears enormous as it reaches toward the sky. Alongside offering a sense of perspective, the cypress, painted with the same sweeping brushstrokes, unites the sky and the village.
This high quality print was produced on fine art paper providing beautiful colours and impressive detail.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

Play Video: Kinesio Tape
As a Massage Therapist for a decade I would notice that after working on my clients and getting things where they needed to be within a week the same problem would return. With Kinesio Tape after I work on people I can tape them up, because when applied properly it will stay on for 5 to 7 days which is ample time to promote healing in the body! I Love it my clients call just to be retaped. It is amazing. If you have not tried it yet I encourage you to give it a try!
Healing Hands Massage
Kinesio Tape has helped me train for two marathons by getting me through my ITBS. I swear by it. I can get at least 3 but mostly 5 days out of an application.
DO NOT accept any substitutes! Rock Tape absolutely does not last as Kinesio Tex, despite them telling you it far outlasts any other brand. Nope. We've tried 'em, they don't last. Do not accept any substitutes. Kinesio Tex is by far the best.
The results I have gotten using Kinesio is amazing. Fantastic product.

NORWAY, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Responsible Pet Care Feline Adoption Center is in need of a new home.
Volunteers say the building isn't worth repairing and there just isn't enough space.
An animal shelter in Oxford closed a year and a half ago, leaving RPC to care for animals from 12 towns. They've had to take in dogs for the first time.
RPC President, Shirley Boyce, says the fifteen year old building can't keep up. "The floors are starting to rot from the wet basement and we've really used it up."
RPC has decided to buy an old Montessori school in South Paris, about twice the size of the building they are in now. It costs $295,000 and they have already raised a third but the contract's deadline is December 7.
RPC Volunteer and the realtor, Helen Robillard, says they plan to file for an extension if they can't raise the money in time.
Here is a link to their website for donations: Reponsible Pet Care of Oxford Hills. And their Facebook page.

Tjaard, thank you very much for that info!
"I have been emailing Patagonia for years to make just such a product, but I don't see it listed on their website"I suspect they're in the process of transitioning to a new model year. The Cap 4 Hoody is one of the best pieces ever to come out of Patagonia, my personal all time favorite, and I'm betting it'll be back by popular demand. It's everything you probably had in mind and possibly more.
I found one online still and ordered it to try- Thanks
I always enjoy information on gear selection, but especially so when it pertains to the challenging fringe season(s). Great article & photos, Ryan.
Edited by Compass on 02/14/2013 10:55:17 MST.
Ryan,Nice article. These conditions sound like typical winter in my area (PA/NJ/NY). I agree that tarp camping is easily done in those conditions, but sometimes wish I had walls when the site doesn't easily allow a pitch to block the wind. A few questions/comments...- I thought eVent was the miracle, waterproof/breathable material for jackets. Sounds like you have the inside track on something new this year, but what happened with eVent?- I would be curious to hear (i.e., photos) more about your two-quilt system. You must have a nice set of attachments because it seems like it would just be a huge hassle wrestling with two puffy, slippery quilts in the middle of the night. I would have thought that the extra outer material of the second quilt, the weight might have beeen better spent with a single over-stuffed quilt.- With the potential for slushy conditrions during the day, I agree with an earlier poster that down booties are much appreciated as things start to freeze up at night, and when emerging from the shelter in the morning.- Any comments about how you handled the LNT aspect of the large fire?- No hiking poles? Sounds like the old back is doing better. :)Tom
I am surprised this hasn't been asked yet, but regarding the search for a waterproof breathable jacket so a rain jacket and wind jacket can be combined with something ultralight. Ryan mentioned his use of the Zpacks cuben fiber breathable pants. Zpacks also makes a jacket with this material which weighs 4.5 oz (about the weight of a Patagonia Houdini). Much less than the Paramo suggestion here (although appears that the paramo has more uses and warmth perhaps) - but just for purpose of wet conditions and wind, I am interested in anyone's experience with this breathable cuben fiber for a rain/wind jacket.The 4.5 oz weight would save 10-12 oz on a wind shirt + rain jacket combination many people (including myself) are currently carrying.Update: I see there is a thread earlier in 2012 about the Zpacks jacket. Any updates in light of this discussion?
Edited by DavidE on 02/15/2013 01:55:29 MST.
I find this topic interesting because I will be in London at the Paramo store in a little over a week (there on business). I'll report back if I find anything new or interesting. But there seems to be several serious Parmo-aholics here that can say more.You would have to troll the threads here to find it, but i remember reading somewhere here that the breathable cuben fiber material is just barely breathable. And if put in rank order with other options (Gore tex, event, etc., etc.) it would probably be the least breathable. But it sure is light. I have no data, though.Having said this, I have asked Joe at ZPacks when he might make a size small jacket so I could buy one.
I have up known about Paramo for about 10 years but only bought it at Xmas, I have used for 6 cross country skiing days, 2 day hikes in England and an overnight snow shoe trip and I am completely blown away by it.First off I am saving the weight in my Pack by not having to carry a hardshell and its very comfortable to wear all day.For me it has replaced a hard shell, wind shirt and mid layer, I find I can regulate temperature all day by using the leg and body vests and rolling up my sleeves.
I gave up tents entirely a few years ago. A tarp shelter - constructed properly - will handle any conditions. I use the Noah tarps, and I will never go back to a tent. They are too heavy & too confining.
I like these field reports; hope to see more in the future. The notes/reflections on what worked well in given conditions is valuable information for others to help them further refine (or re-think) their own personal kits.Like Jhaura posted above, we've been doing some trips here in our local backcountry this winter, trying to time them with winter storms so we can get some snow and/or rain. Our wintry trips match pretty well the conditions you describe in this report: temps 20s-40s, rain, little bit of snow but generally not enough for snowshoes, deadman anchors, etc. We're finding our 3-season kits with some slight modifications work quite well for us.@ Ryan:I'd be interested in learning more of the details of your synthetic overquilt and how you pair it with your down quilt. My 15*F Katabatic keeps me warm to the mid teens with just base layers on and I know I can push it farther with my insulation pieces on, but I've been thinking about having a synthetic quilt made that can do double duty as an overquilt in the winter (ideally I'd like to push my sleep system comfortably down to ~0*F) and as a stand-alone summer quilt for our late spring through fall. I've noticed a lot of moisture accumulation in my down quilts on these winter trips so the added moisture managing benefits of the synthetic quilt is intriguing to me.A couple of questions if you don't mind...Any sense of the approximate warmth rating of your synthetic quilt by itself?What sort of dimensions did you need for it to work well as an overquilt? I'd assume a little wider at minimum...How did you rig it to stay attached to, and on top of, your down quilt?I'm looking at the EE Prodigy Quilts in a Reg length/Wide cut at the 50* rating as my possible solution, so I'm just curious how this compares to what you (or others) are using.
Ryan, thanks for your many great postings and for bringing us BPL. I'm interested to see you wearing socks that weigh almost as much as your shelter! Those smartwool socks look great, but I'd be interested to hear why they're worth that much weight to you. Best wishes. -- Eliot
Very good read & many things to learn from (or take as an example), i.e. I should give the "very light footwear" a try (in winter, I mean). Suppose I'm too much of a coward but I can't leave my old trusty double mountain boots behind. Having said so, my favorite playground is high altitude above tree line & above 3000m (≈ 10.000 ft) in winter where temps drop to (in between) -15 & -25 ºC (5 & -13 ºF) or even colder. How do you manage?One question -I apologize for my ignorance- because there is something I don't understand: You say that 2 quilts + parka keep you warm into the single digits but when it gets below 15ºF you have to add an insulating pant. I suppose "single digits" means in between 0 and 9 ºF). Do I read something wrong here?
Yes great article and great questions for further posts. I am particularly interested in hearing more about on your synthetic quilt concept and the ability of such a system to go down to single digits and lower (my winter venue is the Adirondacks where temps go regularly go down into the -20s and lower). Also, have you considered using a VBL to keep moisture from entering your down in the first place? That way you could combine two down bags and get more warmth and flexibility, kinda like the Stephenson Triple bag concept. E.g., using two differently sized and temp rated Katabatic quilts, plus a VBL liner for the real cold (E.g., a VBL inside a Chisos 40, inside a Palisades 30 or Sawatch 15° for example). Expensive, yes; but that way you would have multiple lightweight sleeping bag options depending on expected conditions. I always thought Stephenson was on to something with his triple bag idea, just too heavy....any thoughts on that approach?
My buddy, Tommy, and I are completing the Colorado Trail in segments, and both of us are in our mid-50s. We are heavily into ultralite, with one exception: we bring the Big Agnes Slide Mountain 3 tent, which is 6 lbs with the footprint. it is a 3 man tent, with 2 doors and 2 vestibules, and is the best shelter i have used in 41 years of backpacking. We split the weight, and end up with 23 lbs instead of 19 lbs for a 5 - 8 day trip. The comfort and expansive interior make rough weather days/weeks very comfortable. Beats the hell out of a tarp in inclement weather (like the 8 days of 37 - 47 degree rain on the CT/Continental Divide trail 3 summers ago in Colorado, between Saguache and Silverton - 101 miles, mostly above treeline). Pit Martin
Great article and photos! I especially enjoyed the discussion of tarp options."The layer I wish to replace the most is my wind shirt. I'm still waiting for the day when I can bring a waterproof layer that is breathable enough to be a wind shirt in cold conditions. Maybe that day is just around the corner, perhaps sometime in 2013?"I'm a DriDucks fan in warmer weather, but I really like the eVent Packa for winter or cold/wet conditions as both wind and rain/wet snow protection layer. I used it in the UP of Michigan in 2012 during a nearly day-long snowstorm. The pack cover portion is nice for keeping the pack and shoulder straps dry, but it also helps with back ventilation (not having a jacket sandwiched directly between the pack and my back) and allows carrying it with zero pack volume by stuffing the sleeves and front under the cover when they're not needed. If it's just used for wind, the pit zips and front zipper work great for venting when needed on an uphill section.

The second seeded Redbirds have been off since downing Drake, 2-1, on Oct. 25. Illinois State has won eight of its last 10 matches.
Sophomore Rachel Tejada and junior Kyla Cross lead the offense with a combined 55 points (22 G, 11 A). Tejada scored the game-winning goal against the Jays in the 89th minute. She leads the MVC with 15 goals and 38 points this season.
In goal the Redbirds are expecting to send sophomore Aryn Newsome into the net. Newsome did not play against Creighton earlier this season. She has played in 14 of the Redbirds 17 match, registering a 1.30 GAA and 3.5 shutouts.
Going with the Flo:
Freshman Flo Beshiri played in just one match in 2012 prior to the MVC Quarterfinal matchup on Sunday. Despite not playing a recorded time against the Bulldogs, Beshiri's impact was unquestioned as she delivered the decisive penalty kick for Creighton. Tied at 7-7 on the 20th overall PK, the freshman from Downer's Grove, Ill., calmly strode to the box and fired a shot past Drake's Kalena Litch to push the Bluejays into the MVC Semifinals.

|Cottom "not optimistic" lease terms will work

A meeting to further discuss a possible lease agreement between golf course property owners, the Cottoms, and the Town of Seven Devils did not end as optimistically as previous meetings.In fact, when talking about the damaged drainage system, voices were raised as community group leader Noble Hendrix questioned who was responsible for the reparations. Lenny Cottom and several town council members thought it was a county or state issue. Pessimism set in when discussing the lease. Some council members, Mayor Bob Dodson included, felt that since Cottom's mortgage payment was an estimated $110,000 a year, the projected $100,000 lease was too expensive for the six months it would be used by the town.
Might Cottom compromise on the lease?
It depends on the terms Seven Devils brings to the table, but Cottom said he is doubtful his price will come down.In fact, his optimism further waned when the Council told him there was nothing they could do to expedite his expansion of the ski slope. Cottom plans to move the snowtube slope to where Hole 4 is now. He is being told he needs a conditional use permit, even though it is zoned recreationally and he has been given permission in the past on another location on his property. Expedition of his expansion plans was one of the benefits to leasing his property to the town, he says. The town discussed forming several committees from the original committee designated to sort out the golf dilemma. It was finally decided that a committee to discuss the lease terms would be formed and reconvene Friday at 9 a.m. Cottom believed council members should figure out what they can afford before agreeing to a lease price. This includes determining the costs of renovating the course and its upkeep. While Hendrix and many other Seven Devils would-be golfers left feeling optimistic, the Cottoms and the Council left with a lot to think about.
