The President is calling on all Americans to participate in our nation's recovery and renewal by serving in our communities. There are many ways to get involved. America's new foundation will be built one community at a time - and it starts with you.
In 1960, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges' daily walk to class took her past an angry mob and into Civil Rights history when she became the first African American child to attend an all-white elementary school in the South.
I wrote that paragraph almost 50 years ago, along with William "Tex" Arnold and Ed Nungesser, after my assignment to the nation's first Job Corps Center, Camp Catoctin, located in the piney woods just up the hill from the Presidential Retreat at Camp David, in a former Civilian Conservation Corps camp in rural western Maryland.

"I know from talking to Peter [Angelos], if there's a deal there that everybody thinks works, we're going to go. Nobody's scared here. Nobody's afraid to make a deal here. Trust me. Trust me. It's just, we've got to get the right one,"

How do you interpret them? I see the FO willing to make a trade that will help the team over the long haul. IMO the team only has a few positions they believe might need an upgrade OR that they're willing to replace the projected player; and I don't see much in the way of realistic trade opportunities for the available positions. I also don't believe we have the EXPENDABLE prospects to consider a trade for a player like Stanton. Let's hope that changes for 2014 because a lot of the talent we have in our system breaks out.
I think Buck is being very clear that we're NOT going to be making any trades that would empty the farm system or open other holes in our lineup. Around April 1st I'll know if I guessed right.

February is "Chocolate Month" in the Berkshires. This is the second year for the countywide effort to sweeten the winter doldrums.
The event kicked off with a low-key party at Chocolate Springs in Lenox on Saturday. Citing the success of last year's event, well-known chocolatier Joshua Needleman hopes people will join in as the month progresses.
So far, Essencials Salon and Medi-spa will be participating with a special "sweet and salty chocolate facial scrub" available for the month of February.
More special offers and events will be posted on the website as they are announced.
If Chocolate Springs offers a special on its fabulous hot chocolate, you'd be smart to get in on it. Joshua's hot chocolate is the best you've ever had, pure bliss in a cup.
We may have another month or two to get through before the Spring arrives but Chocolate Berkshires is doing its best to be sure this month is a sweet one. For more information, chocolateberkshires.com.

In addition to office buildings, we also devote considerable resources on the ground to support the operational requirements of running the airline business in and around the airport, as well as housing more than 20,000 staff in company-provided accommodation. These requirements continue to grow as we expand our flight operations. In 2012-13, more than 4,400 new employees joined the company.

Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new treatment approaches for a disease. If you are being treated for stomach cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering, you may be offered the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial at some point during your treatment.
In some cases, a study may give you access to new therapies that are not yet readily available. Clinical trials may also be used to compare diagnostic tests, prevention strategies, or other aspects of your care.
Our clinical trials reflect the collaborative expertise of Memorial Sloan Kettering researchers and clinicians with specialties in gastrointestinal oncology, pathology, genomics, and more. We are examining the effectiveness of immunotherapy drugs, combinations of conventional chemotherapy medicines, and novel targeted therapies, among other areas. We are also investigating novel biomarkers that can help us identify new treatments for stomach cancer, as well as causes of resistance to promising targeted therapies.
We maintain a continually updated listing of stomach cancer clinical trials at Memorial Sloan Kettering that are currently enrolling new patients. To learn more about a study, choose from the list below:

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but the entire disagreement seems to be about how we define 'natural law'.
Jerry McDonald seems to be using a definition like what might be used in the Randi-challenge. So, 'natural law' is at least somewhat related to the understandings of modern physics.
A resurrection would be so far outside of the bounds of our modern understanding of the world that we can reasonably call it 'supernatural'. (Similarly, Wizards, Werewolves, Ghosts and Vampires would be labeled supernatural)
The affirmatives seem to be using a different definition of 'natural law'. Under this definition, a violation of natural law is not possible, even in theory, since it would just indicate a misunderstanding of natural law.
So, if I showed up, and cast a Fire Ball or Magic Missile spell, it would be 'natural'. I'd be using exceptions to normal physics not yet accounted for in our current model of 'natural law'. Thurgamacy would soon become a course in graduate physics programs.
Is there a subtlety that I'm missing here? Because if not, the bulk of disagreement addressed seems to be about 'correct' definitions rather than the content of the events themselves.
The only part that I'm not following is the use of 'God'. Does that symbol refer to a singular, masculine, and vaguely Judeo-Christian being? Or, is it intended to be broader (god = set containing all existing supernatural powers)?
Because if it's the former, then McDonald's reply seem fundamentally flawed as he didn't link "a god" to "This particular God".
If it's the latter then his element 1 is entirely tautological.
"Only By The Supernatural Power Of God Could Jesus
Christ Have Been Raised From The Dead." becomes "Only By The [action] Of [an unknown force] Could Jesus
Christ Have Been Raised From The Dead."
And, this is merely a specific case of,
"Only the action of an unknown actor/force can do things that science can't currently explain."

Question:The recent death of baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial brings to mind a living baseball great and veteran, Yogi Berra. President Obama presented the Medal of Freedom to Stan Musial about a year ago. As was Musial, Yogi is a lifelong baseball man who began his baseball career in American Legion Baseball, and a baseball Hall of Famer. Moreover, he's a coiner of memorable phrases, a movie critic, and one of the "greatest generation" (WWII Navy). Yogi is the quintessential American "living national treasure." One can't think of an individual more deserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And he ain't getting younger!! Why doesn't somebody up there recommend Yogi Berra for the Medal of Freedom?
The American Legion's legislative agenda is developed through the efforts and wisdom of members like you who take an idea or position and put it forward to their post and department in resolution form. As that resolution is reviewed and passed on to National Headquarters, it is acted upon by the membership-at-large during one of several meetings. The American Legion doesn't have a policy on making recommendations for recipients of the Congressional Medal of Freedom.
If you're interested, I'd encourage you to look towards amending our policy. Feel free to draft a resolution at your local post that addresses the issue and your position. [I would think that this issue would most likely be assigned to the Americanism Commission.] Should it become the policy of The American Legion, we'll make certain to include it in future efforts with Congress.

Rangers vs. Blues
7:00pm, Madison Square Garden
Rangers Record: 31-30-9
Blues Record: 32-28-9
Tonight we will get to see a battle between two teams that
are trying to claw their way into the playoffs. Every game is huge and even
though this is not an Eastern Conference matchup the Rangers cannot leave these
two points on the table.
Consistency is the
name of the game, and I don't have to tell you what the Rangers are lacking in.
Will we see the team that played the Flyers or the Canadians? Nobody really
knows; but after Drury's comments on the immaturity we can only hope this team
wakes up.
With Boston coming
up in a weekend matchup the Blueshirts can ill afford to lose this game, as
they would need a small miracle to catch the Bruins for that last spot in the
East. Boston would only have to play a bit better than 500 hockey to force the
Rangers into a long summer vacation.
This also would have
been a game to get Henrik a rest, as Auld has been solid, but the need their
number one guy between the pipes. Henrik has only allowed five goals in his
last three starts, yet the Rangers have only managed to win once.
Tonight is the night
that this team needs to turn this level of compete around and maintain it from
here on out. Someone needs to take this team over inside that locker room, and
make sure everyone is in. All season these levels of compete have been
different from game to game and player to player.
The Rangers cannot
hit the snooze button one more time; it is time to get up!

The Finkler Questionby Howard Jacobson
2010 Man Booker Prize Winner
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"He should have seen it coming. His life had been one mishap after another. So he should have been prepared for this one…"
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular and disappointed BBC worker, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevick, a Czechoslovakian always more concerned with the wider world than with exam results.
Now, both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and with Treslove, his chequered and unsuccessful record with women rendering him an honorary third widower, they dine at Libor's grand, central London apartment.
It's a sweetly painful evening of reminiscence in which all three remove themselves to a time before they had loved and lost; a time before they had fathered children, before the devastation of separations, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. Better, perhaps, to go through life without knowing happiness at all because that way you had less to mourn? Treslove finds he has tears enough for the unbearable sadness of both his friends' losses.
And it's that very evening, at exactly 11:30pm, as Treslove hesitates a moment outside the window of the oldest violin dealer in the country as he walks home, that he is attacked. After this, his whole sense of who and what he is will slowly and ineluctably change.
The Finkler Question is a scorching story of exclusion and belonging, justice and love, aging, wisdom and humanity. Funny, furious, unflinching, this extraordinary novel shows one of our finest writers at his brilliant best.
"Winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize, Jacobson's wry, devastating novel examines the complexities of identity and belonging, love, and grief through the lens of contemporary Judaism. Julian Treslove, a former BBC producer who works as a celebrity double, feels out of sync with his longtime friend and sometimes rival Sam Finkler, a popular author of philosophy-themed self-help books and a rabidly anti-Zionist Jewish scholar. The two have reconnected with their elderly professor, Libor Sevcik, following the deaths of Finkler and Libor's wives, leaving Treslove-the bachelor Gentile-even more out of the loop. But after Treslove is mugged-the crime has possible anti-Semitic overtones-he becomes obsessed with what it means to be Jewish, or 'a Finkler.' Jacobson brilliantly contrasts Treslove's search for a Jewish identity-through food, spurts of research, sex with Jewish women-with Finkler's thorny relationship with his Jewish heritage and fellow Jews. Libor, meanwhile, struggles to find his footing after his wife's death, the intense love he felt for her reminding Treslove of the belonging he so craves. Jacobson's prose is effortless-witty when it needs to be, heartbreaking where it counts-and the Jewish question becomes a metaphor without ever being overdone.

"A real giant. A great, great writer." Jonathan Safran Foer
"The Finkler Question is wonderful. A blistering portrayal of a funny man who at last confronts the darkness of the world." Beryl Bainbridge
"Naked, haunting, unflinching. Its account of sexual obsession is frightening, painful and finally very moving. A tour de force." Harold Pinter
A staggeringly brilliant new novel from bestselling and award-winning novelist Howard Jacobson.
Winner of the 2010 Man Booker Prize
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer, and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never lost touch with each other, or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik.
Dining together one night at Sevcik's apartment—the two Jewish widowers and the unmarried Gentile, Treslove—the men share a sweetly painful evening, reminiscing on a time before they had loved and lost, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. But as Treslove makes his way home, he is attacked and mugged outside a violin dealer's window. Treslove is convinced the crime was a misdirected act of anti-Semitism, and in its aftermath, his whole sense of self will ineluctably change.
The Finkler Question is a funny, furious, unflinching novel of friendship and loss, exclusion and belonging, and the wisdom and humanity of maturity.

In her four years working at the Volunteer Transportation Center, Linda J. Welsh never got a team together to compete at the annual North Country Chili Cook-Off. That changed late last year when she and cousin Jeanette A. Turner brewed up a recipe for Saturdays 14th annual event.
Its something that Linda and I had started planning back in December, Mrs. Turner said.
Mrs. Welsh was on medical leave from her position as deputy director at the Transportation Center when she died Jan. 8 at St. Josephs Hospital in Syracuse from circulation complications caused by her battle with cancer.
Mrs. Turner, Carthage, said that she and fellow team member Melanie Shambo, Mrs. Welshs daughter, thought it was important to continue on with their team.
We wanted to carry on Lindas legacy of helping others, which was something she was dedicated to, Mrs. Turner said. She volunteered at many organizations; not just where she worked.
Mrs. Welsh was involved with the American Cancer Society and American Red Cross and was a member and board member of Watertown Sunrise Rotary Club and American Legion Auxiliary serving as president of Jefferson County Legion and Post 904 in Alexandria Bay. She also was a strong advocate for the Association of the United States Army. In 2009, Mrs. Welsh was awarded the United Way of Northern New York Community Spirit Award.
Team Linda, with a sausage-based recipe, will join at least 34 other teams at the Dulles State Office Building for the cook-off, hosted by the Jefferson County American Legion Auxiliary and assisted by American Legion Family, American Legion and Sons of the American Legion to benefit the Volunteer Transportation Center.
Event proceeds will fund transportation for veterans and their families to critical-needs appointments such as cancer treatment and dialysis. Last year, more than $40,000 was raised at the cook-off, about $8,000 more than the previous year.
We have a lot of new teams this year, said Samuel M. Purington, executive director of the Volunteer Transportation Center. Thats a lot of new chili.
Other members of Team Linda are Benjamin R. Towles and his mother, Michelle R. Reff, along with Amy Mothersell, who was a friend of Mrs. Welsh.
Mr. Towles and Mrs. Welsh formed an enduring friendship. The two didnt know each other until Mrs. Welsh volunteered in March 2011 at a benefit for Mr. Towles, an Adams Center resident who is battling cancer. They supported each other in their cancer struggles.
Doors open at 11 a.m. Saturday for the cook-off, which runs until the awards ceremony at 3 p.m.

Writers throughout history have made references to halitosis. It's no surprise as bad breath can be caused by dry mouth, dental decay, tonsil stones, gum disease, diet and more. Here are a few noteworthy pieces of literature that make mention of foul breath.
Canterbury Tales – written over 650 years ago, author Geoffrey Chaucer created a character called the summoner whose breath is notably foul, along with the rest of his demeanor. Even back in the 14th century, Chaucer new some of the causes of bad breath. The summoner has halitosis because "he loved garlic, onions and leeks, and for to drink wine as red as blood. " Diet has long been a cause of stinky breath, especially aromatic foods like onions and garlic. The alcohol in wine can lead to dry mouth, making the summoner's mouth a prime breeding ground for bad breath.
Much Ado About Nothing – William Shakespeare definitely agreed that bad breath can put a damper on intimate relationships. Benedick: "Only foul words; and thereupon I will kiss thee." Beatrice: "Foul words is but foul wind, and foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome; therefore I will depart unkiss'd." Like most singles, Beatrice found bad breath to be a huge turn off.

The outdoors person gets out he most. They don't worry about silly labels and just experience the outdoors.
"The outdoors person gets out he most. They don't worry about silly labels and just experience the outdoors."Ah, that's the answer we seek!Car camping, trailer camping, skiing, snowshoeing, backpacking, day hikes, hunting, fishing, rafting, etc. Do a lot of let's say 4 or 5 of these.
I can't believe I'm replying to this thread.Bushcrafting is a lot of work and is limited in the areas where practicing it is appropriate.Therefore, people that get out a lot, will do proportionately less BC & more UL.
"tom k, you misread what the guy said, he didn't say he could go for 14 days with 10 pounds base weight, he said with a 10 pound pack." See the difference?"Nor did I say that is what he said, Harald. Actually, what he said is: "Our adventurer sets out. He (being a man I will NOT speak for women) has a ten pound backpack. His full skin out weight is twenty pounds." So, his pack ends up being 20 pounds, including somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 pounds of consumables, assuming clothing worn weighing in the neighborhood of 4 pounds, more if his clothing worn is less. Do you see the difference? He mentioned no number of days, but followed up with: "To the UL'ers: You have ten pounds on your back, how many days can you stay out with it?" It was that comment to which I originally responded with MY 14 DAY answer based on my 11 pound base weight, an insignificant difference of one pound to which he objected. For a strict apples to apples comparison, based on a 20 pound total weight for both of us, I should have responded 5 plus/6 days, because my clothing worn is 3.5 pounds, my food per day weighs 19 ounces, and I do not cook if I want to travel really light or am going to be in bear country, therefore I need no fuel. Where the 14 day number came from is what I have figured to be the maximum I can comfortably carry in my OHM, extrapolated with complete confidence from field experience on 11 day trips with an OHM plus non UL field experience on trips ranging up to 17 days unsupported. The 14 day full skin out weight would be: clothing worn = 3.5#; base weight stripped down to 9# for a trip of this length, because we're no longer talking hypothetically(i.e. no camera, stove, fuel, etc); food = 16.5# @ 20 oz/day(add 1 oz of coconut oil for extra calories due to trip length) for 13 days plus 4 oz for lunch on final day. The grand total is 29#. I do not count water because it varies all over the place. Suffice it to say for a long trip like this I would choose a route that offered easy access to water for the first few days, and would carry a max of 1# for a max total of 30#. So, for 9-10 pounds more than our apples to apples 20 pount total weight, I can stay out 14 days. It would be interesting to know how long a BCer could stay out by foraging and remaining at a 20 pound total weight; I suspect the answer would vary all over the map, depending on skill level and availability of forage. However, I doubt it would be 14 days, simply because it is very hard to obtain sufficient calories by foraging alone, unless one is hunting, and even then it is a challenge. Fish do not supply a lot of calories, as I learned the hard way on a 16 day trip long ago, nor do berries, roots, salad greens, etc. "You most certainly cannot go anywhere with an 11 pound pack for 14 days as an UL backpacker."True enough. That figured referred to base weight, as did his hypothetical scenario with a 10 pound base weight and 20 pound total weight. Hopefully I clarified that above, although I would have thought it was pretty obvious. At any rate, I guess I should have spelled it out."It's important to actually read what people say when responding"I think I read what he said pretty carefully. However, I should have made the original response an apples to apples response."for a 14 day trip,...... it weighs roughly 14x 2 pounds (food/fuel/etc consumed a day) plus your baseweight plus water."You are way off the mark here, Harald, based on your faulty assumption of 2 pounds per day for my consumables, as I explained above. You would do well in future not to make such assumptions about other hiker's food requirements and cook/no cook styles.In closing, I would like to indulge in a little thread drift regarding posting etiquette. My original post, whatever you want to say about the contents, was civil in tone. The response it received from Mr Vinzant was not, to say the least, and your response, Harald, was, as so often seems to be the case with you, downright condescending, as if you were trying to explain something simple to an especially slow child. In the event, you were a bit off the mark yourself. Neither attitude is conducive to a productive discussion. The actual content of your posts get lost when the recipient either responds in kind of simply walks away, leaving the discussion either unfinished or spiraling downward into a flame war. When I post, I am totally willing to listen to any and all criticisms of what I post, in fact I welcome them, and feel it is my right to reciprocate. Civilly. I am all in favor of discussion, debate, even vigorous argument, but when the posts turn ad hominum or condecending I object. That happens all too often, IMO, and has ended many a good discussion prematurely, to the detriment of the community.
>>Huh? So what do you call someone that follows a school of thought? Followers of solipsism are solipsists. Those who practice math are mathematicians. Those who practice physics are physicists. Those that are American citizens are Americans. So why exactly doesn't it work as a personal identity?There are quantifiable criteria for getting to call yourself a physicist or an American. When you start drawing those lines around something as varied as outdoor recreation, you get a bunch of false distinctions that result in people getting heated in defense of "their" identity. In reality, context matters and an arbitrary line between "ULer" and "BCer" is meaningless. If a person uses any sort of survival skills or natural materials they are effectively practicing bushcraft. If a person deliberately seeks to minimize their carried weight through assessing their needs and eliminating redundant items, they are effectively following UL principles. Everyone here does the latter and almost everyone has probably done the former at one time or another. Claiming BC/UL as a personal identity is just picking a tribe to join, and the only practical effect of it is determining what side of the argument you're on in threads like these. :)
@Tom K.,I was not looking for a fight. The condescension you mentioned started with your response to something I said:"Why chop up a bunch of trees and dig up a bunch of soil, thereby disrupting root systems and associated mycorhizomes, not to mention all sorts of insects, worms, etc? Hardly LNT, IMO. Just wondering..."That is what came across. You used a ridiculous definition of "LNT" making your entire post come off as insulting my intelligence. I had no problem with you, or your opinion until as you put it:"as if you were trying to explain something simple to an especially slow child"I was trying to keep it simple, not insulting, but simple.If you were not trying to come across as "downright condescending," now you know you did...In my communication with someone earlier (in THIS thread) they pointed out I misunderstood them. I apologized and corrected it. You however have gone holier than thou thinking that you can apply rules to everyone but yourself."My original post, whatever you want to say about the contents, was civil in tone."Now that you know that is NOT the case, what are you planning to do from here? I do not need more enemies in life. I have shown I can admit when I am wrong.FWIW, I agree with what you said about base pack weight. I was not confused by what you meant, and appreciate you following the same convention I used.
"I was not looking for a fight. The condescension you mentioned started with your response to something I said:"Why chop up a bunch of trees and dig up a bunch of soil, thereby disrupting root systems and associated mycorhizomes, not to mention all sorts of insects, worms, etc? Hardly LNT, IMO. Just wondering..."Everett - First off, I admire your effort to achieve a positive resolution to our exchange. That takes both courage and good intent. I shall endeavor to respond in kind. Please bear with me while I try to reconstruct the chain of events as I see it. My first post was in response to the following segment of a post you made earlier, as follows: "Once there he no longer relies on the Gatewood cape and net tent he brought. He collects branches to put around a FELLED(my caps for emphasis) log creating a rather nice improvised shelter. He lays the branches on thick, processing them with his Grunsfors Bruks when necessary. He whips out his Cold Steel shovel and starts the process of placing a layer of dirt over the outside branches. Once a layer of dirt is down another layer of branches covers that, followed by another layer of dirt. The shelter's built." The dictionary definition of "felled" is to cut, chop, knock down a tree, according to a dictionary link, below. So, I hope you can see why, given your mention of a Grunsfors Bruk hatchet, I might have concluded that your hypothetical BC/ULer might have done the cutting. This was followed by using a shovel to add two layers of dirt to a surface large enough to provide shelter for a grown man. Then, at the end of your post you wrote the following:"He tears down camp spreading the foliage that covered his lean-to. He breaks up the fire pit, buries ashes, and collects any trash. By the time he is done an Army sniper would not know that this was a camp site."All of this, taken together, was what caused me to respond as I did. At this point, I would like to separate the discussion of my post into 2 parts, the wording, and the content, because I am potentially willing to change the wording, even apologize for it, but the content in response to your original post, as expressed, I am not. It is beyond credibility, at least to me, to consider the scenario you provided as LNT. We will just have to disagree on that, I'm afraid. My intent in my response was to express incredulity, not condescension, and I am still having trouble seeing how you would interpret it as condescending. I would be inclined to paper it over by apologizing even though I do not believe what I wrote was condescending, however I fear that would take us down the slippery slope to allowing you to determine the definition of what is condescending, holier than thou, etc. Instead, I propose that we throw it open to the other posters to this thread for comment, if they are willing to do so. If the verdict is that I was being condescending, I will sincerely apologize to you forthwith, and engage in some serious self reflection before posting in future to any controversial topic. If the verdict is that you are being overly sensitive, I hope you will adjust your approach accordingly.Definition of felled.http://www.thefreedictionary.com/felled"You used a ridiculous definition of "LNT" making your entire post come off as insulting my intelligence. I had no problem with you, or your opinion until as you put it:"as if you were trying to explain something simple to an especially slow child""I submit that my definition of LNT or, more accurately, Leave Less Trace was anything but ridiculous, given what you posted. I'm sorry, I just don't see it your way here."If you were not trying to come across as "downright condescending," now you know you did..."Again, I suggest we submit it to the community for resolution. Just because you say so does not make it so."In my communication with someone earlier (in THIS thread) they pointed out I misunderstood them. I apologized and corrected it. You however have gone holier than thou thinking that you can apply rules to everyone but yourself."I think it is you who are attempting to apply your own rules. I prefer to abide by community standards. Are you willing to do so as well?"Now that you know that is NOT the case, what are you planning to do from here?"Abide by the community's decision, if it is rendered. If not, you and I will have to figure it out ourselves, or try to stay out of each other's way."I do not need more enemies in life. I have shown I can admit when I am wrong."If I am shown to be wrong, as I said, I will apologize to you, sincerely. As for enemies, this is not important enough for that word to even enter the conversation. We had a disagreement, no more. Hopefully we are now on the way to sorting it out.You are clearly an intelligent fellow with a lot to contribute to BPL, and it would be good if we could dialogue without it degenerating into a flame war. With a little good will and perseverance, I'm sure we can put this to rest.Edited for content, grammar, syntax, etc.

Tom K.,Apparently we have no problem here then.I was using the term felled in the past tense. The person in the story wasn't the cause. They were using material already down.With that being the case, as far as I can tell, we actually agree. Most of the misunderstanding seems to have grown from the use of a word I thought I put in the past tense.I see how this situation developed on your side.If I have offended you, I apologize. I don't need another person to avoid in life.
"If I have offended you, I apologize. I don't need another person to avoid in life."Let's make it a reciprocal apology, Everett, and proceed henceforth in an atmosphere of cordial dialogue when our interests intersect in the same thread. I have pretty much chalked up the acrimony to a combination of our different posting styles and this being our first encounter; the one dimensional nature of the Internet, which does not convey the various non linguistic cues so important to effective communication, didn't help either, IMO. It has been resolved amicably, as far as I'm concerned. As you said, "we have no problem here".Welcome to BPL!
I'm a lightweight backpacker (not UL) but, being an elder of the tribe I DO have "bushcraft" skills taught to me when I was in the Boy Scouts in the 1950s.Yes, I know how to use an axe quite well (and sharpen it). I know many lashings and knots. I know how to (and have made) lean-tos. Back in the day we called these skills "Pioneering" and all Scouts had to learn them at risk of losing their manliness if they didn't. There was even a Pioneering merit badge. I kid you not.Bushcrafting is just Pioneering under a different name. It's 50's era Scouting skills.But unless I'm totally f_____d I'll never need those skills.
Edited by Danepacker on 04/25/2013 01:10:00 MDT.
I don't see the two groups, backpackers and bushcrafters, as different groups. I have some bushcraft skills, and some lightweight backpacking skills. And some mountaineering skills, and some orienteering skills, and some cooking and survival skills. I have been on backpacks where I had to make tent stakes and poles from sticks, where I improvised water filters, cooked fish, and I could rig a shelter if I have to. It would be incorrect to assume bushcrafter folks don't backpack or vice versa. I just finished making a knife for my son's Eagle rank, kind of a bushcraft project. Its good for backpackers to have a wide range of skills, and to put ultra light backpackers up as some kind of elite club is not useful or accurate.

After being fined more than $420,000 by the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration last week, UtahAmerican Energy Inc. shut down Carbon County's Tower mine on March 28.
A press release from the subsidiary of Murray Energy Corporation, cited geological changes and unforeseen MSHA requirements as the reasons for closing one of the deepest coal mines in the United States.
"This closure is the result of recently encountered, unexpected and unusual stress conditions and other unforeseen geological and mining conditions, which are especially a concern to UtahAmerican management for the location that the longwall is about to enter," commented UtahAmerican director Bruce Hill in a Friday press release. "Unforeseen changes in requirements by MSHA have also contributed to the forced closure of the mine."
According to Hill, most of the Tower employees will be transferred to UtahAmerican's West Ridge mine, which is being expanded.
"All UtahAmerican employees will be offered jobs at other Murray Energy mines," said Hill.
Information released by MSHA on March 20 specifies the fines were leveled against UtahAmerican for two "flagrant violations," but does not speak of recent changes in the federal agency's requirements.
MSHA's material still refers to Tower as the Aberdeen mine, formerly owned by Andalex Resources.
"The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration has assessed $420,300 in fines against Andalex Resources Inc. for violations relating to potential fire and explosion hazards at the Aberdeen mine," stated the release. "Two citations issued Oct. 26, 2006 and June 20, 2007 were assessed as flagrant violations under the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act based on the operator's repeated violation of the same safety standard. Robert E. Murray controls Andalex Resources Inc., which operates the mine."
Richard Stickler, who represented MSHA during the tragedy and subsequent rescue and investigation effort at Crandall Canyon, made further comments in the federal agency's press release.
"Mine operators that repeatedly violate mine safety standards must be held accountable for their actions," said Stickler.
MSHA inspection records indicate that the mine operator allowed excessive accumulations of hydraulic oil and fine coal particles to cover hoses, electric conduit and tram motors on electric equipment.
"In addition, the mine operator allowed excessive accumulations of potentially explosive float coal dust and other combustible materials to accumulate on a dangerously maintained conveyor belt," stated the March 20 release. "Such accumulations provide substantial fuel to propagate a mine fire."
According to MSHA, these violations were cited during two routine regular safety inspections.
Additionally, a flagrant violation is defined as a reckless or repeated failure to make reasonable efforts to eliminate a known violation of a mandatory safety and health standard that substantially and proximately caused or reasonably could have been expected to cause, death or serious bodily injury.
The mine improvement and new emergency response act was enacted in 2006 and requires that operators of underground coal mines improve their accident preparedness. A full explanation of the act can be found at www.msha.gov.
Last week's shut down was not the first time Tower has closed for safety reasons.
During the last week of August, 2007, 178 Castle Valley coal miners were laid off as UtahAmerican attempted to bolster safety at the Tower facility.
Murray detailed the problems at Tower as early as the last phases of the '07 rescue effort at Crandall Canyon.
"Due to the depth of the workings at the Tower mine and the unforeseen seismic events at the Crandall Canyon mine, I feel compelled to take further action at the Tower mine to ensure the safety of my miners by having engineering studies done on the longwall," said Murray.
Following the studies and modifications, Tower mine was reopened in late January and has been in operation since.
According to the UtahAmerican press release, Tower is the deepest operating coal mine in the United States and the circumstance makes for increased challenges in ground control.
"With the unanticipated stresses and forthcoming mining, as well as certain new requirements by MSHA, we no longer have the absolute certainty regarding safety of our employees required to keep the mine in operation," stated Hill.
At press time, the Sun Advocate could not reach MSHA representastive Amy Louviere for comments regarding the matter.
The MSHA representative's comments following UtahAmerican's actions were, however, reported in the Salt Lake Tribune in an article entitled "Safety fears shut down Tower mine."
"We cannot speculate as to what unforeseen changes UtahAmerican references in its press release," indicated Louviere in the state newspaper article.

WADDINGTON The town will hold a meet-the-candidates night Wednesday for Democratic, Republican and independent candidates running for office on Nov. 5.
The open forum will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Waddington Hepburn Library Community Room.
The event is being sponsored by the towns Democratic and Republican committees.
Its not a debate setting, but it is a chance for the public to meet the candidates and ascertain their positions on any issue, Republican Chairman Russell B. Strait said Friday.
Incumbent Town Supervisor Mark Scott called for a debate earlier this election season, but was denied by Democrat and Republican nominee Sandy R. Wright said she preferred to talk to peoples concerns by knocking on doors.
Mr. Scott trailed Mrs. Wright by almost 50 votes in the Republican primary.
Mr. Scott said he is looking forward to the opportunity to answer the publics questions.
This is an opportunity for the public to learn more about candidates views on specific issues, he said. I hope candidates come prepared to tell the public what they would do if elected and residents attend and ask questions. This election should be about an exchange of ideas and how best to move the town forward that is what residents expect and deserve.
Mrs. Wright said she also welcomes the opportunity.
I am still working on meeting with people, she said. I have had some very positive feedback so far. People are glad and want to see you. Thats been my focus since day one. I look forward to meeting more candidates at the meet-and-greet who are interested in learning what I am about and stand for.

A Night at the Roxbury
It may have taken the Butabi Brothers seven years to graduate high school, but by now they've realized there's more to life than working in their father's silk plant store. Their goal is to get into L.A.'s #1 night spot -- the elegant Roxbury Club -- and become movers and shakers in today's happening night club scene. Steve and Doug are determined to prove that for the first time in their lives, they are really worth something. They set out to prove their manhood by going through the ultimate rite of passage, getting into the A-club -- the Roxbury -- and maybe, someday, even running a club of their own. But they're not on the Roxbury's guest list, so Doug and Steve are stuck on the sidewalk -- as Doug complains, "A-club people leading a B-club life" -- until they roll into a fender bender with a club regular, litigation-phobic actor Richard Grieco, who escorts them right into the Roxbury! They make contact with the Roxbury's successful and influential owner, Mr. Zadir, who agrees to a meeting to discuss their "bound-to-happen" concepts for new clubs. That same night at the Roxbury, Doug and Steve get picked-up by a pair of fortune-hunters, Cambi and Vivica, who mistake them for fat cats.

A number of new updates have been added to the Nook app from Barnes and Noble that allows users to purchase a wide range of new items. Includes in the new items is access to a number of newspapers and magazines. Users that have tablets that are at least seven inches and have a resolution of 800 x 400 and are utilizing the Android Os 2.1 or higher. There are a number of tablets that this will include, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab and newer iterations of the device, the XOOM and the G-Slate.
As of right now there are more than 120 magazines in total. A number of other magazines are expected to be included at some point in the near future. Included in the update are huge names such as Esquire, Rolling Stone, USA Today, The Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune.
Users will be able to access the content that these magazines provide with a free 14 day trial. After that, they will be expected to take out a subscription. The option is also there for them to take purchase each of the items individually as well, which should allow for users to get a better idea of what magazines they like, and which magazines are worth it for them to subscribe to.
Although there are only 120 magazines taking part right now, you can bet that this is an area of their business that Barnes and Noble are looking to expand. The app has been a huge success thus far, and these updates will only make it more popular. The app update is already available through the Android users such as Motorola Atrix Unlocked, HTC Desire, etc. that have purchased the app.
It will be interesting to see what kind of response that the app receives following this update. Previously only books were available through the Nook Shop app, but Barnes and Noble has shown that they are interested in moving to other types of media as well.

Sellafield worker to pay £4,000 for smashing man's jaw in nightclub attack
Last updated at 11:32, Wednesday, 19 December 2012
A Sellafield worker has been ordered to pay £4,000 compensation to a man whose jaw he smashed with a single punch in a Cumbrian nightclub.
Matthew Dixon, 21, knocked Jonathan Proud to the floor during the argument in Elements club in Jane Street, Workington, two days before last Christmas.
Mr Proud was picked up by door staff and taken to the cottage hospital in Workington, where the full extent of his injury was discovered.
He was then transferred to the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven, where he had an operation to screw a metal plate into his shattered face.
He has made a good recovery but still feels occasional pain, especially in cold weather.
At Carlisle Crown Court, Dixon, of Spring Lea, High Seaton, Seaton, near Workington, pleaded guilty to assaulting him, causing actual bodily harm.
His not guilty plea to the more serious charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm was accepted by the prosecution.
Prosecuting counsel Benjamin Lawrence told the court that everyone involved in the trouble had been out drinking in Workington town centre.
"They had all had a great deal to drink and they were all drunk," he said.
He said there had been "some sort of incident" with Dixon which had left Mr Proud on the floor in the Royal Oak pub earlier in the evening.
"As a result there was some simmering tension for the rest of the night," he said.
The trouble flared up again when the two men happened to meet later on in Elements, Mr Lawrence said.
Mr Proud approached Dixon "without any sign of aggression" to talk about what had happened earlier, he said, but Dixon responded by punching him once to the face.
In mitigation, defence barrister Steve McNally said Dixon's behaviour might have been affected by an accident he had in October 2007.
He gave no details of the accident or how it had impacted on Dixon's personality, but he said: "It may well be that, but for that accident, he may well not be in the position he is in today."
Mr McNally said Dixon had been so horrified by what happened that he had not been out drinking in Workington since.
Dixon was ordered to pay Mr Proud £4,000 compensation, made to do 100 hours unpaid community work and put under an 8pm to 6am curfew to keep him indoors at home for the next eight weeks.
Unlike most curfews Dixon's cannot be electronically monitored because the tag on his ankle would interfere with sensitive equipment on the Sellafield site.
Passing sentence, Judge Peter Hughes QC told Dixon: "You have got to keep away from the sort of situation where, in drink, your temper may get the better of you."

|Thick slices of leftover bread, soaked in an egg, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla mixture and dusted with cinnamon sugar, pan fried for a crispy outer coating.
Custardy French ToastPain Perdu (or Lost Bread) is a classic French dish that is intended to use up leftover, stale loaves of bread so that it is not "lost." Pain Perdu is usually served with a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar.
Known by most of us as simply "French Toast" it is a popular dish for breakfast down here in this part of The South, and very often made with thick slices of leftover French bread, though any thicker cut of bread will do. Having leftover French bread in my house is a challenge, because I'm known to just tear off a hunk, slather it with some pure butter and eat it that way on and off throughout the day till it's all gone.
If you happen to have some leftover store-bought Texas toast, French bread, or homemade sandwich bread, this makes for a comforting and lovely meal for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even breakfast for dinner! This is the "old school" way and I love it! Written for two servings, just increase everything as needed for more.
Here's how to make it.
Start with 4 thick slices of French bread, Texas toast or sandwich bread.
Mix eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour over bread.
Flip to coat, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, flip and sprinkle some more. Refrigerate overnight if possible, or if cooking right away, let sit until it's soaked up most of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
Brown in some butter in a hot skillet, remove, top with even more butter, add syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired and devour!
Recipe: Custardy French Toast©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min +30 min soak |Cook time: 15 min | Yield: 2 servings
- 4 slices of thickly sliced day-old French bread, Texas Toast, or sandwich bread
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Cinnamon sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Powdered sugar, optional
Set bread slices in a baking dish. Beat together the eggs, milk, sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour egg mix over bread slices, allow to sit for a minute, turn over, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar, turn one more time and sprinkle again with cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate overnight or if using immediately allow to soak for about 20 to 30 minutes until most of egg mixture is absorbed, turning again if necessary.
Melt butter in a medium hot skillet and using a spatula to transfer, cook on both sides until nicely browned. Transfer to plates, top with additional butter, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with syrup.
Can also bake in 500 degree oven on a generously buttered and preheated baking sheet, for approximately 8 minutes per side, or until puffy and golden brown. This is a super helpful method when you are making a lot of French toast for a crowd, such as for a holiday breakfast or brunch with family.
~Cook's Notes~
For a special treat, try substituting some or all of the milk with flavored refrigerated non-dairy coffee creamers. French toast is also a great way to use up leftover hamburger or hot dog buns, or leftover sweet quick breads, like banana bread.

Read: Michael Del Zotto's Spot As A Top Under 23 Player
At Puck Prospectus, Corey Pronman ranked his top 50 players under 23 years of age.
Ranked 28th is Rangers defenseman Michael Del Zotto.
He writes that the people he talks to "rave" about Del Zotto's ability to create offense and do so off the rush.
Pronman adds, "His defense still needs some work, but that area is steadily coming along, and given what he has done in the NHL so far, I have reason to be confident that he will be fine in that area at his peak while being a top of the line offensive producer."
Defensemen ranked ahead of Del Zotto on this list are: Drew Doughty, Alex Pietrangelo, Erik Karlsson, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Victor Hedman, Cam Fowler, Adam Larsson, Justin Faulk, Tyler Myers, Travis Hamonic, Zach Bogosian, John Carlson and Nick Leddy.

Best truck tire I have ever bought. I have a little over 82,000 miles on this set, think I can squeeze another 5,000 out of them before they will have to be replaced. I drive probably 85% highway, 15% gravel, dirt or off road. In my opinion anytime you can get almost 90,000 miles from a set of truck tires, you can't go wrong.

This screening is part of our February celebration of love!
Y'all, I'll be honest. YOU'VE GOT MAIL is literally my favorite movie of all time.
While some of Nora Ephron's other films are far more critically acclaimed, there's something about this movie that never fails to make me feel absolutely wonderful. Maybe it's the charming chemistry between Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Perhaps it's the deliciously quirky supporting actors like Steve "Nut Shop" Zahn, Greg "Lone Reed" Kinnear, Parker "She Makes Coffee Nervous" Posey and Jean "He Ran Spain" Stapleton. Then there's the adorable email banter with dated AOL references and dial-up modem connections. And of course, the fact that the entire film is basically a love letter to New York City certainly doesn't hurt.
But if I had to choose the one element most responsible for this film's greatness, it would definitely be Nora Ephron. She wrote the screenplay, and her dazzling insight and humor shine through every single line. She also directed the film, infusing each scene with a lovely, sparkling vibrance and a deep comprehension of the human heart.
With YOU'VE GOT MAIL, Ephron managed to capture 152 insights into our souls, and we'll celebrate her cinematic greatness at this month's Girlie Night. Oh, and if anyone wants to bring me a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils, I won't mind. (Sarah Pitre)

More hardball tactics by the business software alliance. I'm against software piracy and companies have a right to protect themselves. But this kind of hardball, threatening tactics to sell software is not right.
Quote from the article:
"Last week, eWEEK learned that as part of that structure, the company is sending letters to channel partners explaining they can see boosts in revenue from 300 percent to 2,000 percent if they tap in to the Truce Campaign hysteria"
Jim H
Of course Microsoft is the one that had to make that statement. Talk about a money hungry SOB. So in other words, scare your potential customers into purchasing your software. Nice....God I love GPL and Linux....this is crap...

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenmentby Eckhart Tolle
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Eckhart Tolle is emerging as one of today's most inspiring teachers. In The Power of Now, already a word-of-mouth bestseller in Canada, the author describes his transition from despair to self-realization soon after his 29th birthday. Tolle took another ten years to understand this transformation, during which time he evolved a philosophy that has parallels in Buddhism, relaxation techniques, and meditation theory but is also eminently practical.
In The Power of Now he shows readers how to recognize themselves as the creators of their own pain, and how to have a pain-free existence by living fully in the present. Accessing the deepest self, the true self, can be learned, he says, by freeing ourselves from the conflicting, unreasonable demands of the mind and living "present, fully and intensely, in the Now."
Much more than simple principles and platitudes, The Power of Now takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.
Much more than simple principles and platitudes, The Power of Now takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death." Only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.
About the Author
Eckhart Tolle was born in Germany, where he spent the first thirteen years of his life. After graduating from the University of London, he was a research scholar and supervisor at Cambridge University. At age twenty-nine a profound spiritual transformation virtually dissolved his old identity and radically changed the course of his life.
The next few years were devoted to understanding, integrating and deepening that transformation, which marked the beginning of an intense inward journey.
For the past ten years, Eckhart has been a counselor and spiritual teacher. Through this book, his teaching is now available throughout the world. He is currently traveling extensively bringing not only his teaching but his presence to a growing number of audiences. He has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, since 1996.
