Okay, so here goes.
I'm a total noob to electronics. I just completed my first project, a 9v battery powered phone charger in an Altoids tin. (Yes, I saw Minty Boost, but figured that was cheating instead of learning). Anyway, I have plans for version 2 of said charger and have been stuck on a single feature - low battery power-off.
Essentially, I want to be able to read the voltage in the circuit and when it drops below a certain threshold, open the circuit. As a software developer by profession, my first thoughts were to a microcontroller-based piece of hardware like an Arduino but then figured that maybe I don't need the entire Arduino, maybe I can get by with just a small 4-pin microcontroller? Someone else suggested to me a MOSFET, but I'm unclear exactly what their use is and how I find the exact one that fits my needs.
I don't know, I'm really new and really lost, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

FORT DRUM In the eyes of his mother, Sgt. Derek T. McConnell was a character, and one who loved his family deeply.
He was full of life, said Siobhan M. Fuller-McConnell. Nobody could forget him.
He stared down the dates of his younger sister. He marched a kid who disrespected his mother a mile to make him apologize. When she told him he was a hot mess, Ms. Fuller-McConnell said, her son replied Well, Mom, at least Im hot.
Sgt. McConnell died suddenly on March 18, 20 months after suffering several major injuries in Kandahar, Afghanistan, when he stepped on an improvised explosive device that threw him onto a second improvised explosive device. His mother said he was a few months away from coming home from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Md., when he died.
Sgt. McConnell was one of two 10th Mountain Division soldiers remembered on post Thursday during a ceremony at the installations Memorial Park. Also honored Thursday was Sgt. Anthony R. Maddox, who died July 22 in Landstuhl, Germany, after a non-combat related incident in Andar, Afghanistan.
Sgt. Maddox, 22, of the 10th Brigade Support Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, was said to have thrived in the structure of the Army, yet had a soft-spoken style and a smile that could not be missed.
He had that cheeky grin that would glow up at night, said 1st Sgt. Mark W. Taylor, who spoke for Sgt. Maddox during the ceremony. You didnt need illumination; you didnt need flares. You had Sgt. Maddoxs smile.
The only time his demeanor changed was on the football field, his stepfather, Ronald C. Key, said, where he lined up in multiple positions on the defense of Nederland High School, Port Arthur, Texas, earning the nickname Mad Dog.
In the two months since his death, Glenda F. Key, Sgt. Maddoxs mother, said she most wanted to remember her sons voice, and the memories of him as a small boy, playing with his toy Army men in the tub.
Hed stick them in the soap, she explained, which he then moved to the other side of the tub where they were safe.
As a soldier, Sgt. Maddox was described by Sgt. Taylor as highly motivated to become a drill sergeant and help younger soldiers, downloading copies of instructional materials to help him become a better leader.
When not doing his main job as a petroleum supply specialist, he could also be seen helping in the dining facility and other areas of his base.
He was always a pillar to lean on, Sgt. Taylor said. Through thick and thin, he was the type of person that would always be there.
Mr. and Mrs. Key said Sgt. Maddox hoped to make a full career in the Army.
Sgt. McConnell, 23, of the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, was given little chance of survival by doctors for months after the July 23, 2011, attack. Among his injuries were amputations of both legs and his right hand, fractures of his skull and jaw, and a series of internal injuries and infections.
However, as the months went on, his condition improved.
Even before he could fully talk, Ms. Fuller-McConnell said, her son made her and other family members smile through facial expressions or a computer that read what he typed, turning what could have been a somber recovery room into what nurses jokingly referred to as the party room.
Every day we laughed, she said. Thousands of miles away, his fellow soldiers would watch videos tracking his recovery, something unit member 1st Sgt. William R. Collins called his companys brightest and best days.
Things were looking set for Sgt. McConnells departure from Walter Reed. His condition was improving. He was engaged to his girlfriend, Krystina Dressler, and they won an online contest supplying $80,000 for a wedding.
In early March, Ms. Fuller-McConnell said, Sgt. McConnell was admitted to the emergency room complaining of pain. On the morning of March 18, his fiancee found him dead in the hospital.
Ms. Fuller-McConnell said an investigation is underway to find out what happened. So close to his being able to leave the hospital, Sgt. McConnells death was tough for his mother to comprehend.
He was coming home, she said.

The CD player and Sunroof are a nice touch.

Whatever you do...
Don't miss thiss opportunity!
I wholeheartedly suggest that everyone gather the pastafarians in thier communtiy, dress in their Friday-best pirate garb, and make their way to movie theaters across the country to spread word of His noodly goodness.
Bring maps, charts, brochures, stickers, whatever! After leaving a pirate movie, most people will be easily converted to a lifestyle of swag and booty.
And for doing this, may he bless you with eternal beer and pasta in this life.

Mark Twain
Growing Up
Perhaps it was a sign of the infant's rise to literary fame. As Halley's comet reached its perihelion — its closest point to the sun — Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in the sleepy, little town of Florida, Missouri, on November 30, 1835. No one realized, of course, that the fifth child of John and Jane Clemens would eventually become more famous than the celebrated comet and recognized as one of the most original and important authors in American and world literature. His legacy extends to that of America's greatest humorist, and his abundance of works reflects his early years along the country's great river.
Sam's father, John Marshall Clemens, a highly intelligent man, was a mildly successful lawyer, a justice of the peace, and a stern disciplinarian of his children. Sam's mother, Jane, a Southern belle in her youth, had a natural sense of humor and was greatly affectionate, especially to animals and people down on their luck. The combination of parental personalities would later be found in several of Mark Twain's characters, and Huckleberry Finn's concern for the less fortunate is reminiscent of Jane Clemen's kindness and compassion.
When Sam reached the age of four, the family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, a small town of about a thousand people. Situated on the West bank of the Mississippi River, roughly eighty miles north of St. Louis, Hannibal was dusty, quiet, and in walking distance of large forests. The surrounding land and waterways provided young Sam countless images for his future writings. The Mississippi River shoreline was constantly occupied with rafts, skiffs, and large steamboats moving up and down the main artery between the North and the South. The tanyard, where Pap Finn would later sleep among the hogs, was found nearby, and downstream was a small cave where Indian Joe would later trap Tom and Becky in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Hannibal would eventually become "St. Petersburg" in Tom Sawyer and the same town was used for the initial setting in Huck Finn.
With its rustic landscape, bustling river traffic, and scores of eager pioneers passing through on their way to fortune in the West, Hannibal introduced Sam to an America that was quickly moving out of the frontier age. More important, the town introduced the young boy to two substantial aspects of American life: the concept of slavery and the reality of death. Although Missouri was a slave state, Hannibal's northern position resulted in a part slave/part free community. At that time, Sam did not trouble himself with the distinction. His recollections of childhood included his attitude toward slavery, and he later acknowledged that he was unaware of its inhumanity: "I had no aversion to slavery. I was not aware that there was anything wrong about it."
Early Career
The death of the father in 1847 placed the Clemens family in financial difficulty, and Sam had to forego the schooling he had begun and become an apprentice printer to the publisher of the local Missouri Courier. Shortly thereafter, Sam left to work as an apprentice for his brother, Orion. The brothers returned to Hannibal after two years, and Orion took control as proprietor of the Journal. In addition to his apprentice duties, Sam contributed small literary pieces to the Journal, a humble beginning to his future writing career. The success of the brothers was short-lived, however, and after Orion left Hannibal, Sam found work in St. Louis, then New York, and Philadelphia. For a brief period of time, he joined his brother Orion in Keokuk, Iowa, where he again worked as a printer.
In 1856, hoping to find the success that had eluded his father and Orion, Sam conceived a wild scheme of making a fortune in South America. The drive to become rich quickly through promising deals would follow Sam throughout his life. On a riverboat to New Orleans, however, Sam met a riverboat pilot who promised to teach him the trade for five hundred dollars.
Because of his fascination with the river and the grand boats that traveled it, Sam seized the opportunity to become a pilot of the muddy waters. In 1857, he became a cub pilot on the Paul Jones steamboat, eventually receiving his pilot's license in 1859. After completing his training, he was a riverboat pilot for four years, during which time he became familiar with the towns along the Mississippi River and their various inhabitants.
When the American Civil War broke out in April of 1861, the Mississippi River was effectively closed by both Union and Confederate forces, and Sam was forced to abandon his pilot career. Sam, whose allegiance tended to be Southern due to his heritage, joined the Confederate militia, but after three short weeks, he deserted and headed West. In his Autobiography, Twain remarked that "I resigned after two weeks service in the field, explaining that I was 'incapacitated by fatigue' through persistent retreating." Orion convinced him to join an expedition to the Nevada Territory, a trip that became the subject matter of a later work, Roughing It (1872).

Reese ended her eight-year marriage, but managed to maintain a friendship with her ex.
For many people, including many relationship scientists, the last stage of relationship dissolution is termination of contact. It seems much easier to hate your ex rather than being friend with her/him. However, more and more studies revealed that the phenomenon of post-dating friendships is common. So why are some former romantic relationships redefined into friendships? And how is it possible?
Foley and Fraser (1998) suggest that romantic relationships that no longer fulfill the romantic needs of partners may undergo a transformation to friendship. To the extent that the resources exchanged continue to be of value to the former partners, the relationship is likely to be maintained in the form of a friendship. Hill, Rubin, and Peplau (1976) found that premarital partners were more likely to stay friends when the breakup was male initiated or mutual. Metts, Cupach, and Bejlovec (1989) found that being friends prior to initiation of a romantic relationship was a significant predictor of maintaining a friendship post breakup. In addition, people whose partners used a positive tone in expressing their desire to end the relationship were more likely to remain friends than those who used such withdrawal strategies as avoidance. Also, those who perceived their former partner as more desirable were more likely to remain friends post breakup (Banks et al., 1987).
Recently, Busboom and colleagues (2002) used social exchange theory framework to examine whether resources and barriers influence the quality of friendship with a former romantic partner. The findings of their study suggested that the more resources people receive from their former partners, the more likely they will be to experience a high quality friendship after breakup. In addition, one's level of satisfaction with the resources received may also contribute to friendship quality. Lastly, there are several obstacles that can get in the way of a postdating friendship, such as lack of support from family and friends for a post-dating friendship, the participant's involvement in a new romantic relationship, and the use of neglect as a strategy to end the relationship were all significant predictors of lower friendship quality.
Friends after divorce: one couple trades drama for decency
Busboom, A.L., Collins, D.M., Givertz, M.D., & Levin, L.A. (2002).Can we still be friends? Resources and barriers to friendship quality after romantic relationship dissolution. Personal Relationship, 9, 215-223.

LOCKPORT, NY - Daryl & Rebecca Wery are working hard with their 5 year old son Jonathan training with Sassy.
The Rough Collie is not only a companion for the young boy. He can sense by smell if Jonathan is going to have a seizure.
Jonathan's Dad, Daryl Wery says the first day Jonathan met Sassy there was an immediate connection, "as if it were a match made in heaven!"
Jonathan has a rare form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome. His mother says the worst seizures are when he suddenly drops to the ground, and that can happen several times a day. He wears a helmet to protect his head.
Sassy would be able to get his parents if something went wrong, but the cost is overwhelming.
$15,000 covers Canine Helpers costs for raising the dog since it was a puppy and training.
The training is extensive including training at home and public places, and Canine Helpers will continue training if needs change in the future.
Beverly Underwood, Executive Director Canine Helpers says, "It does sound like a lot of money, but when you break it down it works out to be four dollars a day, and where else can you get 24 hour care and love for 4 dollars a day?"
Sassy may also one day be helpful to Jonathan's 3-year old brother Conner. He also has LGS.
The Wery's are grateful for the help they've received so far from family and friends, but they still need around $6,000 to make Sassy a permanent part of their family.
If you would like to make a donation, you can through Canine Helpers. If you send a check, make sure it says it's for Sassy. Canine Helpers is located at 5699 Ridge Road in Lockport, NY 14094. The number for the not-for-profit is 433-4035. Canine Helpers has been in business over 28 years, and placed over 600 assistance dogs.

The official URL for getting rad.
The World Wide Weapon Snowboard has become a staple in K2's lineup. Perfect for guys who don't care about flash and would rather just let their riding do the talking, the WWW has become something of a legend among hardcore rail rats thanks to its soft, buttery flex and forgiving feel.
The WWW starts with K2's freestyle baseline profile. This twin rocker profile employs just enough rise at the tip and tail to give it a loose buttery feel while maintaining responsive edge control and loads of pop. The twin shape uses K2's Twin Dual Progressive sidecut for mistake-forgiving, confidence-inspiring control on just about any terrain. The WWW is also the only board in K2's lineup to get the JibTip, which reduces board length by 5cm without compromising stability at all. Construction is K2's patented Hybritech, which uses sidewalls along the running surface that flow into the tip and tail for durability, optimized turn initiation, and reduced swing weight.
The W1 core is made up of one type of renewable wood, strategically chosen to increase strength, reduce weight, and dampen, and the recipe is finished off with the easy-to-repair 2000 extruded base. Biax glass provides a soft flex that's easy to press and a blast to butter, and Tweekend technology provides a larger surface area while pressing so you can seriously tweak your nosepresses.

Quick Hits: Rex Ryan's Presser 10.03.12
- Well it's official. In a span of a week the Jets have lost their franchise cornerback and arguably their best offensive player in Santonio Holmes who has officially been placed on the Injured Reserve list after suffering a Lisfranc injury. The injury will require surgery but, Holmes is expected to make a full recovery.
- The Jason Hill signing was confirmed. Ryan stated he "respected" Plaxico Burress but was looking to get younger and faster. Talent-wise I can't say for sure how much of an upgrade Hill is to Burress but he's nearly ten years younger and likely has more upside than just being a "redzone threat" which is what Burress is–the Jets need to get there first. Ryan jokingly stated they will have "10 people jump" Hill re: his comments about Darrelle Revis being overrated last season.
- Ryan stated that despite the loss of Revis and now Holmes, expectations have not changed.
- "Woe is me? How many people are going to feel sorry for the New York Jets? I know the answer to that: Nobody." – Rex Ryan
- Ryan stated Bilal Powell's start against the 49ers had to do with a "personnel grouping". Shonn Greene is still the # 1 running back.
- Dustin Keller and Stephen Hill will not practice today.

Having just made it back onto the streets of Liberty City after a long stretch inside, Tommy Vercetti is sent to Vice City by his old boss, Sonny Forelli.

8 Proving Grounds For Torture Testing New Tech
Tablet computer and smartphones are replacing paper maps and directories, which is great, except that iPads and iPhones gulp down battery power on a long trip. Most cars have just one USB power point for recharging your gizmos, and that's not going to be enough for a 12-hour road trip, or if you have a carload of people playing Angry Birds.
You can, however, add two additional (and more powerful) USB points to a cigarette lighter socket. Sporty's Pilot Shop sells a plug-in unit with two 2.1-amp USB outlets, enough to charge even Apple's power-hungry iPad. Cigarette lighter sockets can handle more than 10 amps, so this is a convenient way to make sure your camera, video game, MP3 player, and tablet computer stay charged during hours on the road.
Bean-bag-style dashboard electronics holders don't work well in the corners. And the suction windshield mounts that come with most GPS navigators can block your view of the road (in some places you can even get ticketed for this). So we thought up a better way.
Buy a small sheet of dark gray or black plastic at a hobby shop and cut out about a 6-inch square. Then on one side stick self-adhesive strips of hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro), hook side only. On your dashboard stick the loop (softer) side of smaller strips to hold the plastic square in place. Finally, on the side of the plastic that faces the driver, stick on small pieces of hook-and-loop to hold your iPod, smartphone, or other gadgets in place.

A Year in Provenceby Peter Mayle
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
They had been there often as tourists. They had cherished the dream of someday living all year under the Provencal sun. And suddenly it happened.
Here is the month-by-month account of the charms and frustrations that Peter Mayle and his wife — and their two large dogs — experience their first year in the remote country of the Luberon restoring a two-centuries-old stone farmhouse that they bought on sight. From coping in January with the first mistral, which comes howling down from the Rhone Valley and wreaks havoc with the pipes, to dealing as the months go by with the disarming promises and procrastination of the local masons and plumbers, Peter Mayle delights us with his strategies for survival. He relishes the growing camaraderie with his country neighbors — despite the rich, soupy, often impenetrable patois that threatens to separate them. He makes friends with boar hunters and truffle hunters, a man who eats foxes, and another who bites dentists; he discovers the secrets of handicapping racing goats and of disarming vipers. And he comes to dread the onslaught of tourists who disrupt his tranquillity.
In this often hilarious, seductive book Peter Mayle manages to transport us info all the earthy pleasures of Provencal life and lets us live vicariously in a tempo governed by seasons, not by days. George Lang, who was smitten, suggests: "Get a glass of marc, lean back in your most comfortable chair, and spend a delicious year in Provence."
"In nimble prose, Mayle...captures the humorous aspects of visits to markets, vineyards and goat races, and hunting for mushrooms." Publishers Weekly
A boxed set containing the first two bestselling volumes of Peter Mayles hilarious and heartwarming adventures living in the Provence region of France.
A Year in Provence
In this witty and warm-hearted account, Peter Mayle tells what it is like to realize a long-cherished dream and actually move into a 200-year-old stone farmhouse in the remote country of the Lubéron with his wife and two large dogs. He endures January's frosty mistral as it comes howling down the Rhône Valley, discovers the secrets of goat racing through the middle of town, and delights in the glorious regional cuisine. A Year in Provence transports us into all the earthy pleasures of Provençal life and lets us live vicariously at a tempo governed by seasons, not by days.
Toujours Provence
Taking up where his beloved A Year in Provence leaves off, Peter Mayle offers us another funny, beautifully (and deliciously) evocative book about life in Provence. With tales only one who lives there could knowof finding gold coins while digging in the garden, of indulging in sumptuous feasts at truck stopsand with characters introduced with great affection and witthe gendarme fallen from grace, the summer visitors ever trying the patience of even the most genial Provençaux, the straightforward dog "Boy"Toujours Provence is a heart-warming portrait of a place where, if you can't quite "get away from it all," you can surely have a very good time trying.
A funny--and often hilarious--month-by-month account of the charms and frustrations of moving into an old French farmhouse in Provence and adapting to a very different way of life.
About the Author

His work has been translated into seventeen languages, and he has contributed to the London Sunday Times, the Financial Times, and the Independent, as well as Gentlemen's Quarterly and Esquire.

text: Construction on water lines in Price City is ongoing, as seen here on 300 East near 100 South Tuesday. The work is being done by Terry Brotherson Excavating, out of Mt. Pleasant. The project is about 40 percent complete and is on time, according to Gary Sonntag, Price City public works director. Until everything in the trenches is filled, the road is expected to be closed through the end of the week, Sonntag said. Other street closures will happen as work continues.

PRICE - A good friend, Homer Keith Snyder, died on June 1, 2010 at the age of 84.
He was born on May 23, 1926 to Homer Snyder and Dolly May Goodart in the town of Latuda. Homer married Katherine (Kate) Kosmack and they had three children: Keith (Elaine) Snyder, George (Terri) Snyder and Kathy (Santo) Lupo. After his wife Katherine's death, he met and married Norma Tallerico Netz.
He had four step children: Silvanna Netz (Lyle) Bauer, Rocky (Sherri) Netz, Rusty Netz and Randy Netz. He had three grandchildren, 10 step grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents. His granddaughter Jody Kay Snyder passed away on Oct. 10, 1994.
Homer was a very talented woodworker and furniture maker and enjoyed making things for his wife and family. He worked in various coal mines in Carbon County, for Cate Carbon Company, and for the cities of Price and Helper. He loved words and the dictionary and word games. He enjoyed spending time looking for arrowheads. You can still find his foot prints all over lower Gordon Creek.
He was a quiet, interesting and a compassionate man. Despite suffering much physical pain, he seldom complained.
Homer was such a good dad and step dad and always had time for all of us. He loved being a grandpa and the grandkids called him "Grumpy" for fun.
He will be dearly missed by all of us.
As was his wish, there will be no funeral. He will be cremated. "It is my wish to be buried by my deceased Kate."

Autumn Leaves
I haven't updated in a while. I've been so busy studying for this crazy exam I have to take at the end of July in order to get into my major at university and I've been starting this really cool new diet. Not to mention I'm watching a crap ton of shows that I should have been watching years ago like Arrested Development and Community.
Another thing that sucks is I haven't had time to take any photos ): This one is pretty old. I took it a few years ago at a really nice park in my city. Hopefully I'll get time in August before school starts to travel around and take pictures. Here's to hoping!
I hope you're all doing well :)

ROUGHEST riding, Noisiest tires I have ever owned! So bad that I replaced a wheel bearing thinking that was the problem! Badly cracked and worn out at 29,700 miles and less than 3 yeas old!! Do yourself a favour and find another tire!

I am in NE Ohio and live in a high snow area. I have found these tires to lack in just about every category other than driving on dry roads. They have a tendency to hydroplane and spin on start up on wet roads. The snow handling is worse. The tires load up with snow and act like racing slicks. Just a terrible set of tires that are pretty noisy for daily driving. I would avoid these tires, period.

pretty good overall for the New Hampshire climate. winter was iffy, deals with powdery snow with no problem but any heavy, wet snow (like the crap at the end of the winter as the meltoff begins) and you might as well just walk. found it to be quite loud on the interstate (i drive ~70mph) but quiet below 45mph

Pretty solid tires for the money. They last for freakin' ever tread-wise,had them on an old Explorer for years until it up and died. They handle very well on dry pavement, wet pavement and snow they're a little more of a handful. Surprisingly haven't had any real issues off road, but I think that's partially because I don't intentionally go looking for trouble with this truck like I would with a built off roader.
Good road tire if you're looking to go cheap, but not with crap brands.

Grind your axe with this monstrous guitar amp head.
All-tube tone, digital FX, full programmability, and a professional switching system.
One of the most renowned industries in Germany is engineering. German cars and aircraft are legendary all over the world, and so are the amplifiers that Hughes & Kettner has been building since 1984. A quick glance through their lineup of guitar amps will reveal that Hughes & Kettner is nothing short of obsessed with the tube - and to the guitar community, that's a good thing. With three decades of experience as a premium supplier to guitarists everywhere, Hughes & Kettner has mastered the art of combining the timeless sound of tubes with high-tech electronics. The result is an incredible blend of vintage and modern technologies, which means that you can expect strong programming features and advanced digital effects that simply aren't available on a lot of similar amplifiers.
If you're planning on a stack setup, start your search with the Coreblade 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head. This metal-oriented programmable unit is one Hughes & Kettner's flagship amplifiers, and since it's a favorite of guitarists like Alex Lifeson of Rush and Tommy Thayer of KISS, chances are good that you've already heard this legendary amp in action. As well, if you want a little amp with big tone for studio use or smaller venues, check out the TubeMeister 5. However you want to play, Hughes & Kettner has an amp for you.
For something that you can easily grab and go for nightly gigs, you'll also want to take a look at the Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister series combo amplifiers. These come in 5W, 18W and 36W versions pushing that classic H&K tubey tone through 8", 10" and 12" Celestion speakers, respectively. With the amp and speakers all contained in the same unit, a combo amp makes it quick and easy to set up and tear down before and after a gig.
When legendary German engineering meets equally legendary vacuum tube sound, good things happen. We call those good things Hughes & Kettner guitar amplifiers, and the sound that these amps put out speaks for itself. When you plug into an H&K amp for the first time, you're sure to be blown away.

In November 2009, the Philippine Commission on Elections issued a disqualification against an LGBT partylist group, accusing it of advocating immorality. This in turn, triggered an 'I Am Not Immoral' campaign by members of the LGBT community and supporters. The issue of morality, according to Steven Pinker pervades all aspects of our lives, and he refers to moral goodness, as 'something that makes us feel worthy as human beings'. Morality has been deemed universal and yet culturally expressed. Pinker identifies five aspects of morality: harm, fairness, community (or group loyalty), authority and purity, acknowledging that each culture may choose to give more preference to any aspect over another.
Krebs (2008) looks into the evolutionary beginnings of morality and discusses adaptations in the brain brought on by both early and modern circumstances. These early circumstances have caused certain adaptations, decision making strategies, that are triggered in modern events that evoke familiarity of setting, such as the need for certain responses such as obedience, conformity or others. One also must understand the adaptive functions of morality in order to understand what it is. Using the evolutionary theory, morality is when an individual's genetic self-interest is promoted through a genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I wear and typically hike in spandex shorts. But I still bring one pair of "long pants" with me for breaks/rain, etc.Currently, I bring along my UL man Tights and a pair of O2 Rainshield pants. The bottom third of the O2 pants are starting to show their wear. So, I'm seaking out a replacement. What about a 3-season softshell pant?What material? Schoeller Dynamic? Dryskin, Dryskin Extreme? Cloudveil's Interia, or the newer Interia plus?I would _think_ Dryskin (and extreme) might be a bit too warm. Maybe not?Is Dynamic cooler? How does it shed wind/rain?Interia? I assume "plus" is just tougher . Prospector, Rodeo, or the new Peak pant? What is the difference between Prospector and Rodeo pants?Any thoughts?
Have you considered Moutain Hardwear's Transition Featherweight Tight? The stated weight is 8oz so they are in line with a light weight philosophy. They also are windproof and somewhat water resisitant. I have the top and have been comfortable hiking in below freezing temps. I might question the durabilty if you are bush wacking though, the material does "pick". You might also get some strange looks in town, something about guys in tights seemes to get a few chuckles. But if function not fashion is your main concern you might give them a look. I've been considering a pair for myself
Edited by mtnbnd on 03/14/2005 15:48:03 MST.
If you are comfortable hiking in shorts with the addition of Rainshield o2 pants when it rains or gets colder than I would say get a new pair of O2 pants. Even though they wear out, they are cheap when compared to most "do everything" softshell pants.Of the materials you listed, I like Interia (haven't tried Interia Plus) for three season backpacking. Dryskin is too warm. I found Dynamic has a more limited comfort range than Interia. The only time I would take Dynamic over Interia is if I was climbing because Dynamic is a more durable material. I have found that Dynamic and Interia can stand up to light drizzle for a couple of hours before soaking thru. They both will completely wet out in less than 30 minutes in a hard rain.The different (at least last year) between the Prospector and Rodeo was basic style. Rodeo has a webbing belt and side zipper pockets, with the Prospector having a drawstring for the waist and open pockets.One alternative which I have not tried.. but seems like it would be promising would be a pair of sahalie's ultralight tights and something like the Montane Featherlite wind pants. Both dry super quick, are light weight, and the Montane Featherlite are suprisingly durable. But I haven't gotten around to try this. Depending on the weather I either take shorts + frogg togg pants, or rodeo pants + frogg togg rain pants.
Edited by verber on 03/14/2005 19:12:28 MST.
Both responses are worth considering. I think I have found a local source for Cloudveil gear (a high dollar [like $25K+ membership fees] country club pro shop of all places), so I hope to get a chance to touch/feel the Peak Pants (Rodeo *and* prospector pant replacement).I love my windshirt so much, I'm not sure why I didn't think of the tight/shell idea for the legs. I own a pair of the UL tights, but found them a bit too cool for the hour, or so, of daily camp time on my last trip. And that was in mild temps (40F+). They were perfect for sleeping in. Combined with the shell, however, that just might work.I've been wanting to "break the ice" on my first garment sewing project. So, for ~$25, I could buy the 1.1ripstop kit from www.thru-hiker.com and give it a try.Though the Montane pants are onsale at backcountrygear for $56.
Edited by tlbj6142 on 03/14/2005 19:38:24 MST.
thru-hiker.com is supposedly making improvements on their Liberty Ridge Shell Pants kit, and last time I checked the site they said it would not be available until this fall. Their Liberty Ridge Wind Shirt kit is still for sale. I recently purchased the wind shirt kit and an extra two yards of the same fabric for the pants. I will be using a pajama pants pattern for the wind pants, adjusting the fit so that they aren't so baggy. My girlfriend is teaching me how to sew and she says the pants would make an easy first project.
Thanks for the tip on the Montane Featherlight Pants. Backcountry Gear says to go one size up on the fit. Is this true? I'm usually a 31/31. Thanks. Paul
Featherlite pants are $45 at http://basegear.com/featherpants.htmlYes, size up one. I normally wear a size "L" (34/32) and the XL Montane is what I got. They fit well.--mark
Mark, thank you for the link and sizing information. Paul
...I own a Montane Aero, Size L. Its almost too big, I can easily wear a base layer _and_ a heavy fleece underneath without any binding.With just about every other shirt (cotton t-shirts, base layers, etc.), I wear an XL.Now my Size L Marmot Chinook ('03) is perfect on my shoulders but a bit too tight on my fat gut. Guess I'm not "semi-athletic".<g>
I agree. I also bought an Aero a size larger based on other posts I saw. I usually wear a medium sometimes large - I got the large and it's too big. Maybe they changed the sizing on the new design of the Aero?
The Liberty Ridge pants kit is now available at www.thru-hiker.comAnd yes, it is a good easy first sewing project.2.7 oz for 42" waist 31" inseam, made from 1.1oz/yd fabric, flat 1/4" nylon drawcord and cordlock around the waist and no leg zips. A smaller size using 0.8oz/yd fabric could come in under 2 oz!
Tony - To answer your question about Schoeller Dynamic, here's my experience with my Schoeller pants:* Very wind and water resistant, but not water proof .* Very comfortable feel and nice stretch.* Very breathable.* I've comfortably used them in a wide range of temperatures from well below freezing to high 70s F. They make an ideal winter hiking pant over long johns (when it's cold enough to warrant).The Schoeller pants are a little heavier and bulkier than my nylon taffetta pants, but there is no comparison with any other feature. I prefer to use the Schoeller pants in winter, spring, and fall, and the taffetta pants in the summer.

MORRISTOWN In an effort to reduce costs and increase the quality of education offered in each district, Morristown Central School is considering paying tuition for high schoolers to attend classes at Heuvelton Central.
The conversation surrounding tuitioning is in its infancy, Morristown Board of Education member Mary Anne Bailey said, but the two districts are interested.
Earlier this year, Hermon-DeKalb, Heuvelton and Morristown central schools conducted a $30,000 feasibility study into the potential cost savings from the three districts forming a regional high school.
But because no state law exists allowing a regional high school configuration, and because a merger would require another feasibility study, tuitioning appears to offer the best near-term solution, Ms. Bailey said.
We feel as though were never going to have the (regional high school) legislation, Morristown board Vice President W. Darrell Merkel said. So why spend any more time on regionalization?
Ms. Bailey said Hermon-DeKalb backed out of the discussion following push-back from its board. Hermon-DeKalb Superintendent Ann M. Adams could not be reached for comment.
Heuvelton Superintendent Susan E. Todd confirmed that Hermon-DeKalb is ready to take a step back.
Mrs. Todd said a tuitioning arrangement between Morristown and Heuvelton would be advantageous to both school districts.
The agreement would see high school students from Morristown taking classes at Heuvelton. The Morristown district would be responsible for paying tuition to Heuvelton.
Mrs. Todd said tuitioning would work better than a full merger of the districts because the tax rate in Heuvelton, at $19.90 per $1,000 of property value, is higher than in Morristown, which has a tax rate of $14.34 per $1,000.
If Morristown were to merge with Heuvelton, it would mean an increase in taxes for Morristown residents.
Morristown Superintendent David J. Glover said the schools need to look into what a tuitioning agreement would entail before taking further steps.
Mr. Glover said the districts will need to determine transportation costs, the effect on the two communities, how the school buildings will be used, what sorts of programing advantages will be offered and how tuitioning would affect staffing levels.
Mrs. Todd said she plans to discuss tuitioning with her districts school board when it meets Aug. 28.

Arctic Alaska boasts the greatest spectacle of migratory wildlife in all of North America. Beginning in late May, millions of shorebirds and waterfowl migrate from every continent and every ocean to breed on the immense wetlands of the coastal plain. Examples include tundra swans from North America, buff-breasted sandpipers from South America, bar-tailed godwits from New Zealand, Arctic terns from Antarctica, parasitic jaegers from the Indian Ocean, and dunlin from Asia. Four immense herds of caribou also migrate to the coastal plain to calve their young, escape predators, and find relief from biting insects. Polar bear, muskoxen, Arctic fox, and other quintessential Arctic wildlife reside here, along with Gwich'in and Inupiat communities that maintain subsistence lifestyles, hunting caribou, bowhead whales, and seals.
WCS has a long history of conservation work in Arctic Alaska, dating back to 1897 when the first biological survey of Alaskan wildlife helped pass laws to control overhunting. Surveys supported by WCS in the 1950s led to the creation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In 2001, we reestablished an active, on-the-ground presence in Arctic Alaska and today WCS conservationists are working to advance wildlife conservation in this once-remote region, amid a rapidly changing climate and expanding energy development.
The Arctic coastal plain of Alaska serves as the spring nesting ground for millions of shorebirds, waterfowl, loons, and other types of birds. Climate change is interfering with their migration, nesting, and feeding patterns. WCS-North America conservationists study how the birds cope with the changing landscape, and identify key areas for conservation.
Every year, millions of birds migrate to the coastal wetlands of Arctic Alaska to breed. Joe Liebezeit, WCS's Arctic birds project leader, explains how rising temperatures are dramatically transforming this landscape and the lives of its seasonal residents.
Christmas came early for caribou and other denizens of the Arctic when the federal government announced a balanced plan for a huge tract of land in Alaska. Blueprints for the NPR-A ensure protection for wetlands and migratory pathways utilized by birds and mammals, America's reindeer among them.
Alaska's wetlands are home to more than migratory birds: Arctic fox, polar bear, and caribou also dwell in the country's largest tract of public land.
As their sea ice habitat diminishes in the Arctic, Pacific walruses increasingly use coastal lands to haul out, and feed in the surrounding shallow waters. Because this phenomenon poses new threats to walrus populations, conservationists are adopting new strategies to monitor and protect them.
Marine mammals contend with new industrial developments in the Arctic as local waters become increasingly ice-free during the summer and fall.
WCS senior scientist Joel Berger reflects on how Alaska's recent decision to cull an Arctic predator in order to protect its prey may redefine the ecosystem's hierarchy in unforeseen ways.
From mighty caribou to tiny hummingbirds, by air and by land, many of the great American wildlife migrations are at risk.
Arctic Alaska, famous for playing host to tens of thousands of migratory birds that come from around the world to breed and nest each summer, has also become a playground for predator species like Arctic foxes, ravens, gulls, and owls. WCS conservation biologist Joe Liebezeit researches and photographs the effects of a changing landscape on area wildlife.
Dr. Steve Zack blogs on his migratory bird studies from Alaska's Teshekpuk Lake, the largest Arctic wetland complex in the world.
four-year WCS study finds the Teshekpuk Lake region within the National
Petroleum Reserve to hold the highest breeding bird density in Arctic
Alaska—one solid reason for its permanent protection from energy development.
At a recent symposium held at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's National
Conservation Training Center facility in Shepherdstown, West Virginia,
Dr. George Schaller called for increased protection of the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge in northeastern Alaska.
Despite its low profile, the musk ox has persisted through the Pleistocene exinctions, outlasting the woolly mammoth and other prehistoric mammals. WCS Senior Scientist Joel Berger studies America's least known large mammal and its unusual survival tactics.

As the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge celebrates its 50th anniversary,
WCS calls for the coastal plain's permanent protection from energy development.
asks the government to fully protect "Special Areas" in Alaska's National
Petroleum Reserve for caribou and migratory birds.
WCS is extremely encouraged by the Department of Interior's decision to protect 170,000 acres south and northeast of Teshekpuk Lake in the National Petroleum Reserve from leasing. The area provides critical habitat for breeding birds and caribou populations.
This week, WCS scientists are trekking across the vast and remote Alaskan Arctic and deep into the National Petroleum Reserve to explore how best to conserve Arctic wildlife
in the midst of expanding energy development.
WCS conservationist Steve Zack is chronicling the trip for
the New York Times' Scientists at Work blog.
WCS receives $100,000 for Arctic wildlife conservation and climate change research from Disney's Friends for Change: Project Green.
A WCS-led study says some nesting bird species are declining near oil development in the Arctic. Infrastructure from oil drilling, coupled with edible garbage, creates "subsidized housing" for as opportunistic predators like foxes and gulls.
WCS scientists working in northern Alaska spot a shorebird originally tagged 8,000 miles away, in Victoria, Australia. The bar-tailed godwit flew the length of the Pacific in an epic journey that underscores the importance of this northern breeding ground.
WCS evacuated five of its scientists from a remote camp in northern Alaska because of a new and unusual threat: a polar bear stuck on land due to climate change.
Birds and other wildlife score protection from energy exploration in Alaska's Teshekpuk Lake region. At 23 million acres, Teshekpuk is the largest single piece of public land in the U.S.

By MICHAEL OVERSONSun Advocate reporter
Summer has come to Carbon County. With its arrival, Spring has left and many outdoor recreation class offerings at the College of Eastern Utah are in danger of leaving too. The fall schedule of classes lists Hand Guns I and II, Intro to Firearms Handling, Marksmanship, Service Learning, Tai Chi and Kung Fu in the recreation section. The complete lack of outdoor classes stirred up a controversy on campus as nothing had been publicized concerning the issue.
"Putting out a schedule that wasn't complete might have been premature but our intention was never to completely cancel these classes," Vice President of Academic Affairs Greg Benson said.
After the schedule was published an initial meeting with Benson, Carbon County Recreation Executive Director Steve Christensen and Interim President Mike King was held to discuss options and intentions for the partnership. Nothing was agreed upon according to those involved.
Currently Carbon County Recreation and CEU have a Memorandum of Understanding in place. The MOU that has been in place since 2007 divides responsibility for the different aspects of running an outdoor recreation program. In the document a 90-day warning from either side concerning the termination of the program is needed. Carbon County gave notice to the college of the approaching deadline and King made the college's concerns known at that time. That agreement expires June 30 of this year.
Funding for the program has never had a steady source within the college. With $2,000 a year being used to subsidize a Carbon County equipment rental program and $11,000 earmarked for staff support per year, the community recreation partnership which encompasses Carbon County Recreation, CEU and Carbon School District adds $6,600 to the bill for a total cost of $19,600.
Until now CEU has managed to find ways to pay for the partnership according to King. Both Benson and King expressed their desire to continue some if not all of the classes. With 80 percent of the college's budget tied up in personnel costs, there isn't much room for other programs, according to King.
Christensen explained that three years ago he devised an outdoor leadership degree outdoor leadership degree program and handed it over to CEU. The program was accepted by the curriculum and instruction committee at CEU pending funding was made available for the program. Funding never materialized and the program was scratched.
From an administration standpoint recreation classes are important to the education experience that students receive while attending school in Price. Being in Castle Country affords great opportunities for students and faculty alike because of the close proximity to a variety of outdoor destinations.
"I think it draws a lot of people here because of our locale being close to different outdoor activities," King said.
Benefits of the program have included science trips that teachers were able to attend. River rafting while learning about the environment is something that not everyone has done or gets the chance to do.
"I think it has been very beneficial, we have been able to do some interesting things," King stated.
Recreation officials see the programs as essential to the learning processes.
"College doesn't necessarily have to be about textbooks and classrooms," Carbon Recreation Assistant Director Frank Ori said.
Christensen agreed with Ori.
"Promoting learning outside of the classroom is key to achieving knowledge as well as giving students a reason to come here," he explained.
There are always challenges ranging from making sure that there is good communication between governing agencies and offering courses that are cost effective, according to King.
"We have to be careful about that. The driving force for discussion has been budgetary but the move to rearrange the document was started after the county gave the notice that time to do so was running out," King said.
"We are pretty sad that the program is ending," Christensen said. His biggest push for the program has been to create a reason for students to attend CEU. "Why would they bypass other institutions to come here?" he asked. There are reasons but not many when it comes to the average student he added.
Inexpensive tuition, getting away from mom and dad and going into the outdoors are major factors. Christensen has worked extensively with University of Utah and matriculated every class offered at CEU so that classes transfer straight across. With more emphasis on experience in the field rather than classwork students are better prepared for the field, according to Christensen.
"I honestly believe that we have by far the best outdoor program in the state when it comes to experiences," Christensen said.
If the college continues at least some of the recreation classes Christensen hopes that Carbon Rec will be involved because of their continued push to grow this program.
"It's really difficult to put your heart and soul into something only to have other people who have other priorities in control," Christensen said.
According to Christensen not having many offerings of activities once students come to Price will be a downfall. Working with the resources available is key to the further growth of CEU. Making Price a destination of choice for reasons other than low tuition must be a priority.
On July 1, the merger will be official between Utah State University and CEU. With the new administration will come a chance to have another partnership put in place. If no compromise is reached the push will begin again to implement an outdoor program.
"We're not going to just roll over, we'll continue this with the new administration. It's good for the community, not just the college. Carbon commissioners have been really supportive of these programs," Christensen said.
"I've started the majority of CEU outdoor classes," he continued. "I've been teaching for 22 years at the college. Bo (Steve's son), has been teaching kayaking for seven years. We used to tease him that he had to get release time from high school to teach a college class. When I started (the classes) CEU was only offering a mountaineering class. There was no risk management, I taught rock climbing for years without having any release forms being signed."
The degree program is too good to give up according to Christensen, but now three years later it seems it will be gone.
"These programs have been really successful, it will be sad to see them go," Christensen concluded.

A Division of Wildlife Resources official has some advice for those who apply for 2005 Utah big game hunting permits.
Beginning Jan. 3, applications for 2005 general buck deer, limited entry, once-in-a-lifetime and Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit hunts will be available from hunting and fishing license agents statewide, the Division of Wildlife Resources' Web site (wildlife.utah.gov) and DWR offices.
To be included in the draw for permits, applications must be received through the mail or an overnight mail service no later than 5 p.m. on Jan. 31, or through the DWR's Web site no later than 11 p.m. on Jan. 31.
Based on the number of applications received last year, DWR officials expect to receive almost 190,000 applications. Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR, has some tips hunters can follow to help ensure their application is included in the draw:Applying early is the best thing hunters can do to ensure their application is entered in the draw and save themselves time and frustration in the process.
"Most of the hunters who apply on the Internet wait until the last week to apply. Thousands of people trying to apply at the same time really slows the system down," she said. "If you apply early in the application period, it should take less than five minutes to submit your application."
Tutorow encourages hunters to include an e-mail address when they apply online.
"Having an e-mail address allows us to send a confirmation to you so you can double-check and make sure you entered your information correctly," she said. "Also, we'll send an e-mail to you in April, letting you know whether you drew a permit."
Hunters who submit paper applications also are encouraged to apply early.
"It takes a few days for a paper application to arrive in their mail, so make sure you mail it far enough in advance that we receive it by 5 p.m. on Jan. 31," she said. "Also, if there's an error on your application, but we receive it by 5 p.m. on Jan. 24, you'll receive a correction letter and a chance to correct and resubmit your application."
Another important item is to write credit card numbers correctly. Incorrect credit card information is the biggest reason applications are rejected. Tutorow advises hunters to write their credit card number slowly and clearly (so the people receiving the application can read it) and to double-check that they wrote the number correctly. Also, credit cards must be valid through May 2005 to be used as payment.
Tutorow also wants to make hunters aware of the following items.
Fifteen percent of the general buck deer permits in each region have been set aside for youth hunters who will be 18-years-old or younger on Aug. 20 (the start of Utah's 2005 general archery buck deer hunt). This should give youth hunters a better chance of drawing a Southern Region permit.
Youth hunters who apply as part of a group will not be included in the 15 percent, however, so youths who want the best chance of obtaining a Southern Region permit are encouraged to apply individually.
Hunters who obtained a 2004 limited entry or once-in-a-lifetime permit, but did not report their harvest success, may not apply for a 2005 big game permit. Hunters who have questions about this requirement may call the Utah Wildlife Administrative Services office at 1-800-221-0659 for more information.

|Two Homes Damaged in Ashe Fires
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 25 September 2012 06:21
Fire gutted an Ashe County home Sunday afternoon, a call answered by Pond Mountain and Creston Fire Departments. The call came in as owner Steven Jones was returning from a neighbor's home and found the single-wide mobile home on fire, causing a call for the fire departments.
In spite of the effort of the two departments, the interior of the home was said to have been gutted by the fire, and probably was a total loss. So far, no cause has been determined for the blaze, but Ashe County Emergency Management said that Jones had insurance and family in the area to help with his immediate needs.
Fleetwood and West Jefferson were called out at about 7:15 Monday morning to a structure fire on Edwards Road off of Bald Mountain Road. Firemen found fire in the wall of the structure and called for infrared sensors to help find the source.

Belfast International Airport has congratulated the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce on winning the British Chambers of Commerce 'Chamber of the Year' accolade in London.
The airport has been an official Patron of the Chamber and has just agreed to extend its arrangement until 2015.
Reacting to the award, John Doran, Belfast International Airport Managing Director, said: "This is a signal honour for a Chamber that has made an immense contribution to the business life of Northern Ireland, and to the innovative and progressive way in which it manages and represents its members.
"Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive, Ann McGregor, and her team are to be heartily congratulated on their outstanding achievement.
"The Chamber has been proactive on real and current economic issues such as the need to remove Air Passenger Duty (APD) on long-haul flights and Northern Ireland access to Heathrow. It has also championed greater international connectivity and supported greater choice of affordable direct access from Northern Ireland with easyJet.
"The small but highly motivated and dedicated team richly deserve this national recognition.

Submission Robot Controlled By Rat Brain Still Moves Forward->
kkleiner writes: Kevin Warwick, once a cyborg and still a researcher in cybernetics at the University of Reading, has been working on creating biological neural networks that can control machines. He and his team have taken the brain cells from rats, cultured them, and used them as the guidance control circuit for simple wheeled robots. Electrical impulses from the bot enter the batch of neurons, and responses from the cells are turned into commands for the device. The cells can form new connections, making the system a true learning machine.
