Dear '66 classmates,
How many of you attended your 50th high school reunion? Both Keenan and I felt that we had come full circle with our classmates and were able to share our feelings, memories and experiences so openly. Our SBC 50th is not too far away (shock of shocks!). Let's start preparing now to be there! Our 45th was unexpectedly a meaningful weekend at Sweet Briar. The best part, I think, for the dozen of us who attended, was the luxury of sitting around and getting to know classmates whom we perhaps hadn't gotten to know well when we were at SBC.
Thanks to all of you who responded with your news!
Let us know if you did not receive the email requests so that we won't miss you next time.
Robin Cutler Maw reports that her two high school reunions last fall were wonderful for her. She still lives in N.Y.C., but commutes often to Calif. to see children and grandchildren. So Keenan, Randi Miles Long and I hope to hook up with her soon! Robin recently got together with Ann Mason Curti, also Ginny Butters. And it sounds like Robin is in the midst of getting a new book published!
Penny Steketee Sidor was blessed with her first grandchild Danny this past Christmas Eve. On Labor Day weekend her second son was married, so there's lots of happy family times going on!
Randi Miles Long and Herb have had a great year of Reunions: their 50th high school in Westport, Conn. and two more in Md. this fall—she has loved reconnecting with classmates from those years, and particularly getting to know others she had not known well before. She found this to be very true at SBC reunions as well. Preparing for her mother's 90th birthday has been a huge focus for Randi this year: boxes of letters, genealogy, finding people she thought were lost, all rewarding but overwhelming at times! Randi's life is blessed with four wonderful grandchildren from daughter Melissa in Charlotte, and with having son Kent living right nearby in the Bay Area. She looks forward to seeing everyone at Reunion!
Andrea Pearson Pennington is welcoming her first two grandchildren, born in 2011. "They will keep us young!" she reports. Having now retired after 28 years as Juvenile Court Referee, she spends time volunteering with children. "Second graders are full of hugs and always glad to see me!" She works with the League of Women Voters, especially in areas where their efforts intersect with opportunities for kids. Another project is civic engagement with teens from a distressed community in Mobile. These bright and enthusiastic kids give her hope for the future!
"Retirement continues to be good to us!" writes Martha Madden Swanson from D.C. She and David enjoy classes at Georgetown as well as athletic events on campus, especially the sailing team. They followed the team to Austin this past June to watch them win the Co-ed national championship! Martha reports that they have also been traveling abroad this spring in between the other parts of their busy life. She and David continue to raise funds for a Jesuit school in the slums of Kenya, for children whose parents are AIDS victims. This has been extremely rewarding work. Martha and Dave's children live in both the D.C. area and in L.A., where she and Dave love to visit!
Joe and Pamala Jones Brown celebrated 46 years of marriage in Aug. and enjoy living close to their four sons and five grandchildren. Pam's jewelry design business, "Stoneprints Jewelry," is going well with website and trunk shows. She includes many artifacts gathered from travel over the years in her work. Pam says she uses her French major often and that Sweet Briar prepared her well for every aspect of an entrepreneurial business. She recalls getting to take private classes on Chinese history and art with Dr. Roland because no one else had signed up! Her walks in the SBC dell inspired her to a lifelong respect and appreciation of Earth's gifts.
Muriel Wikswo Lambert continues to teach and do research at N.J. Medical School. She too has an adorable new granddaughter and expects the second one mid-December! All three of her children are in medical school! Go, Muriel!
Tom and Mary Anne "Coon" Calhoun Farmer have been on the road since Tom's retirement from real estate: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Portugal, Spain and France! They now have six grandchildren and celebrate their 45th anniversary in Oct!
A note from "Memaw"—do you know who this classmate is? Anyway, we are sending her news, because many of you probably do know! (I loved what you have written, Memaw! ) She is blessed with five beautiful grandchildren to enrich her life, with a granddaughter off to college this fall! Memaw is a real estate specialist for Baltimore County, Md., and has just bought a second home on Lake Champlain in upstate N.Y. where she plans to spend the better part of the year when she finally retires. "Those are the stats. There have been massive highs and lows along the way, but you don't want to hear about those. Suffice it to say, we have all survived and even thrived at times."
Sally Kalber Fiedler writes from "drought-stricken Richmond." She and Jay are also traveling during their first year of retirement. A cross-country trip took them to see their grandkids over last Christmas. A Black Sea holiday is scheduled for this fall. Sally shares that "mobility issues" are making these adventures more challenging by the day. She and Jay love having time together and lingering (finally!) over coffee and the newspaper!
Hopefully you have heard by now that our class has lost three wonderful people in the past year. It is with great sadness that I relay the news of their passing: Anne Mercer Kornagy, Cindy Michel Blakely and Patricia Martin Rodier. If you should want to contact their families, the alumnae office can supply you with addresses.
Physical challenges are all a part of our aging, unfortunately. The news from Sidney Turner in Baltimore is particularly distressing because she has polycystic kidney disease. Astonishingly, her husband also shares this same condition! She is exploring whether or not she is a candidate for a transplant. Sid and her husband are both participating in a study at the Rogosin Institute in N.Y.C.—they're the only married couple with this same disease! She welcomes insights from anyone who has faced or is going through a similar situation!
Judy Wilson Grant writes from Denver that she plans for her two-year-old granddaughter to be Sweet Briar bound! Her new grandson arrived July 24! Judy reports, "All is good in Colorado these days!" (Judy, you wrote this before all the bad fires, so we hope that all is well with you and your family this summer!)
Our classmates continue to connect! Jeannie Jackson Exum and Marcia Pace Lindstrom have had wonderful times over duplicate bridge, even attending a workshop with Nancy McLean Parker '67. Between hands, they talk about fun classmates and SBC memories!
Four others who have managed an annual visit each year (!) are Keenan Colton Kelsey, Jane Nelson, Susan Sudduth Hiller and Penn Willets Fullerton. This year's venue is N.H. to see fall colors. Last year we gathered for Penn's daughter Lucy's wedding in the Calif. wine country. Was that a blast!
Jane loves her work as chaplain at Westminster Canterbury, Richmond, where many alumnae live. She enjoyed a particularly special Holy Land pilgrimage last Feb. with a group from her church. High School and family reunions in Culpeper have been really high spots in her life recently.
Susan and husband Chuck celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary last spring with a trip to Warsaw and Krakow, Stuttgart and Budapest. Her life includes regular visits to see her daughter and grandchildren as well as continuing work with two Hospices and one lay chaplaincy group in Little Rock. Joining their children in Snowmass for skiing is frosting on the cake each year. Susan reports that her cardigan corgi Finian is convinced that the UPS , Fed-Ex, and USPS come just to see him!
When we meet in N.H. it will be partly to celebrate Keenan's retirement after 18 years of active Presbyterian ministry! In the midst of a compelling career she managed to travel to the Baltic area last year and Cuba recently. She gets to care for grandbaby Betty every Friday and vacations with grandboys Miles and Sammy whenever she can.
Life continues to be full and happy for Penn, with five grandkids, three of whom are close by. Teaching creative writing in the public schools brings her much pleasure these days, and she is trying to get some picture books published (it looks so easy when you're reading one to your grandkids!) She and George have a little place in the Sierras for weekends, and love to hike and fly fish when not mending the cabin roof or building a fence! It's great to have Keenan and Randi right nearby in the Bay Area!
Overall, Retirement, Grandkids, and Travel seem to be repeated themes in our lives right now. We recognize that we all have particular challenges and special prayers go out to those classmates facing health issues and difficult transitions. All of our hearts are with you. Once again, many many thanks to those of you who helped create this class message. We hope that you will feel as we did when reading the notes that we have a truly outstanding class! How lucky are we!
We hope that you will all remember to mark your calendars for Reunion, May of 2016. Let's aim for a record turnout!
With much love to you all,
Keenan, Jane, Susan and Penn

How to Recover Photos from Nikon D7000 DSLR
Different from film-type pictures, digital photos can be easily deleted by pressing the "Delete" button carelessly or mistakenly, a threatening feature for digital cameras, like Nikon D7000 DSLR, D5100, D3100, etc. One wrong move may delete all your valuable pictures. The good news is that all deleted photos are not really gone after deletion. Only the storage where they've been stayed are marked as blank for reuse. Therefore, with a proper photo recovery tool, you can recover deleted photos from Nikon D7000 DSLR, D5100,or D3100 with ease.
First thing goes first: stop using your Nikon camera once the deletion happens, like capturing new photos or videos, avoiding deleted photos from being overwritten.
How to recover deleted photos from Nikon D7100 DSLR
First of all, get a photo recovery tool of Nikon D7000 DSLR here: Wondershare Photo Recovery, or Wondershare Photo Recovery for Mac. Both of the software supports the recovery of photos, video and audio files from Nikon D7000 DSLR, Nikon D5100, Nikon D3100, etc., no matter you lost them due to deletion, formatting or other reasons.
Download the free trial version of Nikon D7000 DSLR photo recovery software below now.
Note: Remember to save the scan result if you're going to recover the found files later, to prevent data loss.
Step1. Run the Nikon D7000 DSLR photo recovery software
Before running the program, connect your camera to the computer with a digital cable and make sure it appears as a drive letter in "My Computer". Then run the program and click "Start" in the primary window to begin recovery.
Step2. Select your Nikon camera and scan it
Next, your camera will also be detected as a drive letter by the program here. Select it and click "Scan" to find deleted photos on it.
Step3. Recover deleted photos from Nikon D7000 DSLR
After the scan, all recoverable files will be displayed in the scan result, including photos, video and audio. You can preview recoverable photos to check the quality before recovery. Mark those you want and click "Recover" button to get them back with one click.

Study: New E15 gas can ruin auto engines: It must be pretty sweet to be the government. If you don't have enough money to buy votes and send kickbacks to cronies you just raise some funds on the sly by regulating up the price of gas and then pocketing the difference. And if that isn't enough you can always regulate that gas be diluted by adding ethanol -thereby driving up consumption and government profits. And if that still isn't enough you can further decrease the efficiency of the gas by adding even more ethanol. So what if it destroys the engines of the people you're ripping off to pay for your protectionist rackets and cartels? All that means is that they'll have to buy new cars. Possibly from one of the car companies you forced them to buy you or the one you forced them to buy for the unions.

You said: "most reputable commentators equate nico and lulu..." what an empty affirmation. what don't you provide the name of one or two of those so-called "reputable commentators". Looks like you have to convince Rosberg himself that he's as good as Hamilton. And go ask other worthy champs like Vettel or Alonso what their opinions on Hamilton's skills are.
I can also sit in front of my computer and write "most reputable commentators believe Perez equate Button, therefore he shouldn't earn 10 times less money than Button"

Rather than post a bajillion full-sized pictures, I was able to consolidate these just a bit. So here's what came out of Saturday (plus a few extras.)
And with that, off to take advantage of my not having any teaching this afternoon (flute repair/band camp/end of summer hurrah type things) to run some errands, and then I have that purse to keep sewing.

Local bruisers Dead-Lift, who describe themselves as New Yorks
premier melodic-rap/metal fusion band (read: nü-metal), won
themselves a slot on the show by winning a most-original-band

|Intonation adapts to lexical tone: the case of kammu.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23172238 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|In this paper, we investigate how lexical tones interact with intonation, using data from the Austroasiatic language Kammu, one of few languages with two dialects whose only major phonological difference is the presence or absence of lexical tones. Northern (and Western) Kammu have developed tones in connection with the merger of voiceless and voiced initial consonants, while the non-tonal Eastern dialect kept the segmental opposition with no tones. We found the following prosodic hierarchy: (1) lexical tones, (2) phrase-final boundary tone, (3) focus marking. The results strongly suggest that the intonational systems of the two Kammu dialects are basically identical, and that the main differences between the dialects are adaptations of intonation patterns to the lexical tones when the identities of the tones are jeopardized.

text: I guess to start, a little about myself...I worked in the bicycle industry for 12 years, first as a framebuilder in Boulder, Colorado for about six and a half years. After that, I ran the service department for a rather large shop, also in Boulder. I finished off as the head mechanic in a small LBS just outside of Boulder before heading back to college and moved into law enforcement as well as serving in the National Guard. During my time "in the biz", I was a mechanic for a Race Across AMerica team twice and also took up doing some announcing at local criteriums in Boulder County. I rode off an on until about four years ago, when it completely slipped away until last fall. Now I'm back up to three bikes (road, mountain, spare road bike) and am finding some time to actually do some real riding!! So....good to be here and looking forward to chattin with you all

Pittsburgh Tuesday takes
The Steelers: The 2-6 Pittsburgh Steelers are so bad ("How bad are they?") that they'll be sending scouts to all those Turkey Bowl games on Thanksgiving Day looking for talent. The Steelers, who gave up the most points in team history at New England last Sunday, are so bad ("How bad are they?") that, fearing massive no-shows when Buffalo visits this Sunday, they are considering employing that NASCAR gimmick of painting the seats to make it look like there are real people in them. Ahem.
Scofflaw Luke: Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl has decided to be an arrogant lame duck. He's refusing to comply with a state Open Records Office ruling that his daily calendar must be made public. Mr. Ravenstahl says that's something he doesn't "think is necessary." And City Solicitor Daniel Regan parses the ruling in laughable fashion: Because the city did not defend its decision to not release the calendar, it's the proper thing to do. That's gobbledygook.
It's beginning to look a lot like ... : Pittsburgh's Light Up Night is just more than two weeks away and Thanksgiving is more than three weeks off, as is Hanukkah, but Christmas is in the air more and more each and every day. Amidst all of the early preparations we'll all be making, let's take a moment to remember the less fortunate among us.

Carl Cherryholmes, left, talks to his attorney, Scott Wood, on Thursday morning during the testimony of Suzanne Pelletier-Walker, executive director of the Lighthouse. Pelletier-Walker was testifying as an expert on domestic abuse for the prosecution.

The brother-in-law of a Lancaster man accused of raping his wife testified Thursday that he was "initially shocked" at the abuse and sexual assault accusations made by his sister.
The woman's brother testified as the first witness at the scene Jan. 9, 2013, when the rape is alleged to have occurred. He said his sister handed him a handwritten note with the allegations that included reports of unwanted sexual conduct before that incident.

King County collects old holiday lights at Green Holidays events
November 26, 2010
By Staff
NEW — 2:30 p.m. Nov. 26, 2010
King County launched the Green Holidays campaign Friday to educate consumers about how to cut waste, save energy and support the local economy during the holiday season.
The kickoff includes a chance for residents to drop off old holiday lights for recycling. In exchange, each recycler receives a coupon for energy-efficient lights from Bartell Drugs or McLendon Hardware.
Find the Green Holidays booth at Westlake Park in downtown Seattle until 5 p.m. Friday.
Residents can also drop off holiday lights at the Group Health Ice Arena in Bellevue from 2-8 p.m. Dec. 4 and noon – 6 p.m. Dec. 5.
"We know a lot of people are upgrading to efficient LED lights this season, or simply have a bunch of old, burned-out lights sitting in storage," King County EcoConsumer Tom Watson said. "We're offering an opportunity to properly dispose of those lights in partnership with local recycler Total Reclaim."
In addition, the Green Holidays booth also offers creative examples of how to wrap gifts without waste, recycle food scraps and cooking oil, and eat local for the holidays in partnership with Cascade Harvest Coalition and PCC Natural Markets.

What would be better is turn in the old lights and not buy new lights. Even the efficient LED lights are a waste of electricity.

A Life Story of a Piano
When you came,
I didn't know you.
Didn't know what you can do,
What you could be?
I turn you to life.
Mother told me "You play it."
But I didn't know you.
Nor, want to live with you.
Time came again,
I tried on you but,
I was disgraced, disappointed.
I said "I will never learn to play you."
It's been long time I haven't seen you.
I noticed there's something I need.
No music within me.
I decided to start, learn and live with
I learned the basics,
But it's not enough,
But I still stopped the lessons.
Deciding not to impart with you again.
Time again, I got a chance.
It seems that "Now I know you better."
We played sharps, flats and neutrals.
I rhythmically pressed the black and the white
To the melody, dramatic, nocturnes.
From pianissimo to fortissimo.
I hit soft then hard.
Your life from minor, came to major.
The Do's to Ti's, they all harmonize.
What notes and chords can't do?
They collide and conspire with my feelings.
Emotions became so true.
All have passed, still we're together.
You suppressed all my old convictions.
I regret all the time I left you alone.
Now, I cherish the time we consume.
First my world revolves with just for those that want to see me.
But, you turned it, be to those you want to be.
Thought, I was just nothing with you.
But it seemed that I'm everything when I'm with
I halt, not meeting you again.
For a long time once again.
My tears fell, I didn't feel it came.
You're all alone once more.
We grew older.
Live by our means.
Grow weaker each day.
Set apart by the time.
Thank you, for not the experience I had all throughout.
But by the ever splendid time and emotions I had.
Leaving was all I did for you.
Because of me, I tormented you so that I won't forget.
This is how time worked.
The longer we've been,
The more chance we had not been together.
Forever, it's not just your life
This life story is ours.

|Justin Tuck's safety on Tom Brady won a man $50,000. (AP)
In the immediate aftermath of the first-quarter safety in Super Bowl XVLI, when Justin Tuck forced Tom Brady into an intentional grounding penalty while throwing from the end zone, a few writers in the auxiliary press box started looking up the prop bet odds that surely would pay off in a huge way for at least one person.
Well, a guy named Jona Rechnitz had played a $1,000 wager that a safety would occur, and with those 50-1 odds, he suddenly was $50,000 richer. But not for long.
That's because as TMZ reports (via Yahoo Sports), Rechnitz plans to donate all the post-tax money to various charities, including one of Brady's choice. Rechnitz, a big Giants fan, also apparently wants to donate $5,000 to the charity of Tuck's choice.
Even crazier, Rechnitz -- who owns a capital investment firm in Manhattan and who apparently does quite well for himself -- only makes one Super Bowl bet per year. Luckily for him and his future recipients, this year's wager panned out rather nicely.

We couldn't locate a fixed amount of time as to when they are serving the deal, but here are the details found on this website.
There is a limit of one free short stack per guest. The offer is valid at participating restaurants for dine-in only while supplies last and is not valid with any other offer, special coupon or discount.

Broad thread. Tldr - go to the bold at the bottom.
The politicians we elect to act after our best interests & pander to us in ways responsible and not in order to gain our votes and continue their terms, push their policies, collect their funds... How much is the public responsible for their inefficiencies, and oppositely how much more should the public be responsible to ensure efficiency for the public good?
So, either-or. The climates of westernized nations does ruin the efficiency of federal and nationwide policies; the less governments are reigned by the whims and wills of the people, the more efficient that government will employ itself. But it's probably a necessarily sacrifice. We aren't interested in that kind of tyranny (even if and when we are intellectually curious about what would be accomplished). This q will opt out of could-be would-be convolutions. In addition, never mind the problems attributed to corporate interference, economic philosophies, puppeteering from other powerful governments / corporations / lobbyists in unstable political climates, and whatever other causes make their contributions (even when these are the more pressing concerns).
The rights of the people to people their government is the foundation of modern liberty, right? The give and take in this relationship goes without saying. There is no one answer for or against, since this thread isn't about whether or not anybody should do anything so radical as removing that liberty. But we can still find some problems in its modern function. The united states has cultivated an extreme political theater, larger and more intricate than the presentations of punishment and prosperity popularized by earlier governments in earlier tyrannies. It happened naturally and it's being sustained naturally. The recent presidential debates are halved between policy criticisms and being distracted by performance niceties (was this candidate too aggressive, did this candidate seem eager, which one looked sharper, which one was more genial). It's obvious why theater is bad, but less obvious are the positive results of putting on a show. Theater connects with voters who don't have the wherewithal to feel stake in policies; civility and presentation are accessible to everybody from all walks of life, and if that's what some people need to get their foot in the door and their voice in the discussion, so be it.
& for those reasons political theater is equally irresponsible, ensuring a portion of the pie between a government and its people will be made up with distracted and irresponsible sideline commentaries.
I'm all over the place, but I'm leading up to an admission. If we accept that people will get the government they deserve, which places the blame on the people more than it does the governments, I want to admit that I'm part of the problem. All this would be dramatically moot if we had lose our grip on our country to the influences I listed above, but I don't think we have, which is why I wanted to dismiss any mentions of those other influences right off the bat. I'm still under the impression people have a stake in their governments and can change things for the better if they apply themselves for the better and set better examples for their politicians to cater to. Politicking doesn't have to be so detrimental. It has become detrimental because we are asking after detrimental things.
We vote a lot on social issues, suggesting our culture is something we identify with more than our government. I vote culture over policy. I supported Obama over Bush for many many many long winded reasons, yet I have dismissed Obama's continuation of Bush policies because I supported Obama's background, presentation - I believed there was something necessary in the difference between the two men, even if their policies didn't reflect that, and this belief came from an overriding impression of each candidate's culture. At the end of the day I am taking substantive things from the behaviors and mannerisms of politicians before their policies are even whispered about. I vote socially. I vote for my impression of american culture, and I side with the candidate who reflects my impression of american culture. And whenever I want to remind myself how bad that is, I look across the aisle at people who don't want a president with dark skin because that doesn't reflect their impression of american culture. It's just as irresponsible (if not as shitty).
I think people like me are causing problems. Because we're so preoccupied with our culture, we are mindless of policy and heavily influenced by the backgrounds, histories, influences and demeanor of the candidates. When the candidates try to win votes from people like me, they do so in ways furthest from policy. They show their books. They talk about their upbringing. They talk about their vision.
How do you approach politics? How do you vote? How does how you vote distract politicians, and is this distraction helpful? People who vote for policy insist politicians explain their policies, whereas people like me, who vote for culture, insist on unproductive political theaters where politicians present their characters and backgrounds in affable, relatable ways. I think I'm part of the problem.
American politics has devolved. There's more proper critiquing in a dog show then election campaigns, and political candidates have become products for the media to sell; rather than focusing on important issues, it boils down to whose American flag pin is larger.
In a society that provides more votes to reality tv shows than a ballot box, politics is a hard sell. So to advertise the product campaigns will stoop to the lowest means by labeling and creating an image of the candidate (ie. Obama's "Hope" poster). They will create the lowest intellectual stimulus to affect someone's vote; who's more likable? who's tougher? who's younger? who's more handsome? Image is everything in politics today.
Relating to a candidate is important, just as it's important for the candidate to be "in touch" with the voters. So in a sense, political theatre isn't so bad. It's just how far some are willing to take/view it. Focusing on candidate backgrounds, characters and personable traits doesn't reflect the platform that candidate is putting forward. So if you focus less on the individual and more on the party he/she represents, you'll be able to see the important issues and provide a proper critique of the candidate. Political theatre shouldn't be the determining factor of voter preference, but rather a complement to a product being sold (candidates policies, etc.).
So to answer your question, I vote based on what I consider essential: policy. We democratically elect those in office that would best represent our needs, wants and values. And in my case, I need/want/value a stable, just and transparent government that respects the middle-class, offers support for the needy and limit the power of the corporate world.
I agree on voting on policy but what I need/want/value is a government that respects the Constitution of the United States. Government isn't supposed to be like a charity to support the needy. Charity isn't protecting individual private property rights and our freedoms rich or poor. That's the duty and primary function of government.
Personally, I'm cynical about my participation in a system I can only honestly consider hopelessly broken due to how hucksterish and unserious the people who participate in an administrative capacity too largely act and bend over to the wants of financial and corporate oligarchs. I still vote, because it's honestly a civic duty, but I always vote for the third party candidate who expressly advocates things I care about. Even though I accept they will not win, I consider it my responsibility to vote my conscience and reject being emotionally baited into choosing the less repugnant candidate in a duopoly I don't believe in.
I always pin my hope on the idea that maybe one day enough people will feel the same way that these candidates can not continue to be ignored.

As we get into the hay marketing season, one of the forage quality parameters that more and more buyers are aware of is potassium (K) concentration. The reason is that high K forages fed to dairy cattle in the transition stage (3 to 4 weeks prior to calving) need to be fed a low K diet. This helps to prevent metabolic disorders such as milk fever.
All forages, except corn silage, grown on the same soil contain similar K levels at the same stage of maturity. National databases of forage composition, such as those in the National Research Council requirements for dairy and beef animals, list lower K ...

Knoxville Hospital and Clinics Offers Sports Physicals at Area High Schools
Posted By News On July 25, 2010 @ 6:28 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
The Knoxville Hospital and Clinics is offering sports physicals at area high schools this summer. Rather than paying the regular price of $25 to see a doctor at the hospital, athletes will be able to instead pay $15 with the proceeds going directly to their school. The physicals will be available at Knoxville High School this Wednesday from 3-6pm along with Twin Cedars High School August 2nd from 3-5pm and Pleasantville High School August 3rd from 3:30 until 5:30. Students from all area schools are welcome to take advantage of the opportunity. No appointments are necessary.

Javier Lozoya, 17, died Sunday at Thomason Hospital after being fatally stabbed during a brawl in the 1000 block of Eighth Street in Segundo Barrio, police said.
"He wasn't rowdy at all. He was loud and crazy but not crazy like that to hurt anybody. He wasn't a bad guy," said friend Roxanne Guerrero, 20, who described Lozoya as a "little brother."
Guerrero, other friends and gang investigators said Lozoya was with a gang that went into the neighborhood early Sunday to avenge a recent fight at a quincea era. Lozoya was hit in the face with a bottle and stabbed multiple times with a knife during the fight near a small park that runs along Eighth Street, police said.
Guerrero said friends took Lozoya and stayed with him at Thomason Hospital where he died despite some news reports that he was "dumped" at the hospital. "We would never, ever do that to him," she said.
Police said an investigation into the slaying continues by detectives with the Crimes Against Persons Unit.
Lozoya was a sophomore at Burges High School, a spokeswoman with the El Paso Independent School District confirmed. School counselors were available to help students at the campus.
On Monday, Burges students signed a poster, passed around poems and shed tears in memory of their schoolmate, students said.
"He always knew how to make us smile. He was a really good friend. I knew him since elementary school," said Melanie Marrufo, 16, who was in a geometry class with Lozoya.
Police spokesman Javier Sambrano said Lozoya was the first confirmed homicide of 2006 in El Paso. The fatal police shooting of firefighter Alfonso De Anda, 35, on Saturday won't be classified as a homicide unless the shooting is found to be unjustified, Sambrano said.
The Lozoya case is also the first gang-related killing of the year, said Sgt. Reginald Moton, head of the police gang unit.
After a busy start to 2006, gang activity had slowed down recently with only one Drive-by Shooting Response Team call-out last month -- an April 26 stabbing at a 7-Eleven in East El Paso, Moton said.

ZoneAlarm DataLock
ZoneAlarm DataLock : Virtual Keyboard It's hard to see how malefactors would fit your laptop with a hardware keylogger, and software keyloggers don't run until after the operating system boots. Still, if you're feeling very paranoid the virtual keyboard lets you enter your DataLock login credentials with no chance of interception.
9 / 12
Bottom Line
DataLock ensures that a thief who grabs your laptop won't get access to your data. Recovery media and 24/7 phone support ensure that you won't lock yourself out. The price seems a bit high for a single component of ZoneAlarm's suite, but it's a lot cheaper than recovering from identity theft or industrial espionage.

Kathryn has it exactly right eventerdrew, and no I did not take offense, you bring up a VERY good point! It's not that I'm focused on the ribbon 100% and nothing else (although c'mon it's our first season and we've never shown before in our lives so of COURSE we want some!! Haha) ...with every show, Sandie and I both gain experience that is wonderful for us!! And from this show, I took away that we had a GREAT dressage test so we're obviously getting stronger and the hard work is paying off there.
But just as kathryn said, it's SO very frustrating to be so close to first place (or placing at ALL for that matter!) and then getting knocked out of the competition altogether because of 1 little jump! I would have been happy with last place as long as we tried our best, but the big "E" is like saying "thanks for spending all day here, but now it's like you never even came, you don't get to place at ALL" which is extra frustrating when you're 1st place until that point! Lol
Also this course was a sore spot for us anyway because as you know, our first show was at this place and the SAME thing happened with the rock jump...so we went home, built one, got over it, came back to conquer things and then it happens with a TIRE jump that they threw in! So the whole situation was just frustrating, I'm sure most people would have felt the same.
But to your point, eventerdrew, you are 100% spot on that it isn't all about winning, esp at these schooling shows. The point is to gain experience at these, and it's great that we're doing that. BUUUUT I'm naturally competitive so of COURSE I'm going to want a ribbon every time, why else would I compete?! But I'm CERTAINLY not the type of person to go bad mouthing or putting down others, or discouraging them. I'm the first person at these events to complement others' horses, tell them Good Luck, tell them WOW great test, etc etc. So no worries, I'm not one of "those horsepeople" who will run over everyone in their path to get a ribbon!!

The Lyons Community Foundation (LCF), whose mission is "To improve the quality of life, build a culture of giving, and encourage positive change for the Greater Lyons Area," did that in a big way last
Friday night, as they granted over $36,000 to nine different local organizations for sixteen separate programs, all which will enhance the quality of life for those living in our community.
The LCF celebrated their third year in existence, with a gala dinner and fundraising silent auction last Friday evening at the spectacular Lionscrest Manor (owned by Bob and Leona Forsberg). The elegant meal (hors d'oeurves, salad, and chicken on a pillow of mashed potatoes, with a marinara sauce) was catered by Spice of Life Catering, owned by Lyons resident Dan Bruckner.

Going green is the most sensible way of investing in the future. Do your part and reduce your carbon footprint. While you may be just one person, you can still make an impact. Make green efforts a part of your lifestyle and incorporate green techniques in your home. Many people start on renovating the roof when they switch to green living. Not only will you be doing Mother Nature a favour with your eco- friendly roof, you're also going to reap plenty of benefits from it.
Here are 5 Ways to Keep Your Roof Green
1. Solar Panels
Installing a solar panel in your roof won't take long because you don't have to tear your roof apart to install one. Solar panels are already pre-fabricated and ready to use. A solar panel can adequately light up your whole home and can store the excess power in a battery. Just be sure to use LED bulbs or energy efficient bulbs to ensure you're using the least amount of energy.
Solar panels can also work to heat your water. They can harness the energy from the sun and use it to heat water for your shower. It's convenient and it's green! Learn more about the advantages of solar panels before purchasing one.
2. Ventilation
You will do well to talk with your architect about air vents in your home. There are ways to allow air to flow inside without letting water seep in your house. Proper ventilation will help you save on air- conditioning and cooling. This is a good option for those living in hot or humid places.
3. Insulation
Invest in good insulation. Insulation is very important if you have winter season in your state. Heating cost hundreds and thousands of dollars on electricity. When installing your roof insulation, be sure to use eco- friendly products that are made from recycled materials. Not only are these eco-friendly, they're cheaper than the common fiberglass insulation as well! Take the time to read about other insulation options.
4. Water tank
Installing a water tank is probably the oldest trick in the book. Water tanks are used to collect water run- off from your roof. Don't waste good drinking water on your plants! You're paying top dollar for every minute you turn the faucet on. Instead, use the water you've have saved in the tank. If you're worried about water pressure, you can have your tank fitted with a water pump.
5. Green Roof Mats
Add a little charm to your home by installing a green roof mat. Green roof mat allows you to grow plants on top of your roof. You can plant anything from flowers, grass to even herbs or vegetables. Just make sure to pick seeds that can grow with the climate in your area.
Going green doesn't mean you have to give up comfort and style. You can easily incorporate eco-friendly solutions to your home. It doesn't have to involve a major renovation or a big budget to pull this off. While switching to greener options will initially cost you, you'll see big savings rolling back in your bank account in just a few months.

Melrose Boutique owner Melanie Settles is on a mission to bring fashion to the Scenic City.
"I want to bring that New York, Los Angeles or Atlanta flair to Chattanooga," she said. "I want to let people know that even though a room is full of gray and black, you can wear hot pink. You can be fashionable even in a smaller city."
Before moving back home to Chattanooga, Settles worked as a professional stylist for a production company in Atlanta. She and her husband, who retired from the NFL, decided to move back to their hometown to raise a family. That's when Settles decided to open the boutique, which has been open for almost a year now, at 3204 Brainerd Road.
"I chose this area because I grew up on Missionary Ridge," she said. "I really want Brainerd Road to become a little Frazier Avenue or Main Street. There's no reason it shouldn't be since it's the busiest road in Chattanooga."
Settles is doing her part to create that atmosphere on Brainerd Road by providing custom and handmade items made by up and coming designers at the boutique. During her work as a stylist, she said she made a lot of great connections with designers who are now featuring their work in the store.
"My favorite line is by this lady in Israel and she calls it 'Gado Gado,'" said Settles. "I call it the 'tree line' because it has prints of trees all over the clothing. The patterns are so exquisite."
The boutique features a variety of tops, dresses, custom jewelry, Leila Lou fragrances, leggings, accessories and shoes. Settles recently added a $20 rack and said she regularly runs promotions on different items.
"One of the great things about us is the price point," she said. "Nothing in the store is over $150. We've got girls coming in to buy prom dresses or $10 rings. There's something that's comfortable for everyone's economic status."
In addition to a wide variety of styles and price points, Settles said she is also able to work with people to create custom sizes. She said she regularly asks designers to create a "smedium" size that's fuller in the top and then tapers at the bottom. She said she is also available to open the store after hours by appointment or to do contract styling work for customers and others in the community.
"If you want to stand out and not look like anyone else in the room, or if you want to look nice but don't want to look like the lady next to you, come shop at Melrose," said Settles.
She said some of her goals include keeping current trends stocked at the boutique, expanding the store's shoe lines and eventually opening a children's boutique for her daughter and the daughter she will deliver later this year.
"I wake up loving what I'm doing every day," Settles said. "I just love what I do and I'm going to keep pushing until I can't push anymore."

This week the president of the Starbucks coffee shop chain, Howard Schultz, requested that its customers, who have a legal right to carry a gun, not bring their firearms into Starbucks stores.
I wonder why he did not just post a sign "Robbers Welcomed Here," since he has surely given widespread notice to potential crooks that Starbucks will be a safe place for them to operate.
Mr. Schultz could learn a lot from another president, George Washington, who said, "A free people ought to be armed."
The admonition that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away should be remembered by anyone who intends to patronize progressive Starbucks stores.

ATHENS - Georgia Tech is headed to Athens to join Georgia in its NCAA regional - just as coach Danny Hall expected.Georgia Tech learned Monday it will play Big East champion Louisville in a first-round game at Georgia's Foley Field on Friday at 7 p.m. Georgia will open against Lipscomb Friday at 3 p.m. Lipscomb, from the Atlantic 10, will make its first NCAA baseball tournament appearance. Hall said he expected to be placed in Georgia's regional after Georgia Tech was not included as one of the 16 regional sites announced on Sunday. ""I kind of felt like that was probably where we were going to end up, so no it was not a surprise,' Hall said. ""We had hoped we might get a regional site, but the ACC got four, and that's a lot.' North Carolina, North Carolina State, Miami and Florida State were picked from the Atlantic Coast Conference to host regionals. Georgia Tech won two of three regular-season games against Georgia. The Yellow Jackets won at Tech and in Athens. Georgia beat Tech 3-2 at Turner Field in Atlanta on May 13. ""We do have familiarity with Georgia and they have familiarity with us if we do end up playing each other, but there's no guarantee of that,' Hall said. Georgia, the Southeastern Conference regular-season champion, was named the No. 8 seed in the tournament. ""We're very excited to be one of the national seeds, and I think we were rewarded for being SEC champions and playing one of the nation's toughest schedules,' said Georgia coach David Perno. Georgia is 11-3 while winning three NCAA regionals at Foley Field - 2001, 2004 and 2006. SideBar: NCAA Regional At Foley Field in Athens Friday · Game 1 - Georgia (35-21-1) vs. Lipscomb (32-28), 3 p.m. · Game 2 - Georgia Tech (39-19) vs. Louisville (41-19), 7 p.m.

Editor's Note: Part two of this three-part tale about a visit to the stormy Oregon Coast appeared in this section last Wednesday.
The visit took place March 11-18.
That Storm Watch beachcombing stint at Newport, Ore., on Tuesday (March 13) spiked my spirits up.
Way up.
The rains and the blustery winds that dominated Tuesday night, Wednesday all day and all night, Thursday off and on and Friday morning, however, spiked them down.
Way down.
Yet, for those stormy days Darlene, Nora the Schnauzer and I lazed like tranquil cave bears about at the Hallmark Inn. Of course, we ventured out to dine. We visited Starbucks, Fred Meyers and a few tourist shops.
Mostly, Darlene and I read Rex Stout novels. Nora read the corners and the carpets. We all watched TV and the mesmerizing waves roll endlessly toward us.
And we napped.
Nora napped a great deal.
Actually, once we decided to roll with the weather, we enjoyed the lazing.
So to speak.
We gave up our tourists' impulse to skitter among the "things to do on the Coast" like water striders.
At 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Nora and I meandered to Starbucks to fetch coffee, a blueberry scone and a coffee cake. Since the Inn's Internet connection remained broken, I lugged along the laptop to connect with the World Wide Web.
And I did, for the four minutes it took to check the mail before hurrying the infusion of caffeine, sugar and calories back to the Inn.
Then, I relaxed and watched the waves.
Before I finished my Pike's Place, however, the rain stopped and the wind slackened some.
In a seize-the-moment frenzy, I pocketed a Mutt Mitt, donned a windbreaker and rushed with Nora to the beach. If she would go numbers 1 and 2, we could relax many hours before going out again.
In addition, a walk to the rocky tide pools at Nye Beach, a quarter-mile to the north, and back would allow Nora to run and cavort and get tired.
So, with me carrying the freshly No. 2-weighted plastic bag and Nora ranging far and wide, we almost reached the rocks.
Too soon, however, a blast of driving rain sent both of us scurrying south across the sand and up the 79 steps to the inn. I lagged well behind Nora, but she waited coatless in the rain atop the steps.
In the room, we lazed some more.
In the afternoon, we drove to the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. We rounded the circle at the mist-curtained lighthouse and headed back to the Inn.
On the way, we decided to visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium.
Once there, however, we eschewed leaving Nora alone in the cold truck.
So, back on Highway 101, we dined at the 24-hour, packed Newport Caf.
After that, we decided Nora and Darlene would return to the Inn, and I would visit the OCA by myself. Once inside, I hurried around the outside exhibits in the wind and rain, including the aviary, the seal, otter, sea lion and octopus tanks. I snapped fast photos of the puffins and guillemots or common murres and a sea otter.
I spent more time at the inside exhibits before returning to the Inn. So much for Wednesday
On Thursday, with the Internet working again and the snow nearly forgotten, I checked mail and Darlene did some last-minute shopping.
In the afternoon, we downed calorie- and cholesterol-loaded bacon-eggs-hash browns and pancakes at the Pig'N Pancake.
We spent much of the evening finding stuff and packing it away for an early departure on Friday.
And Friday dawned with the heaviest rain of the week. With coffee and pastries from Starbucks, we left Newport at 8:32 a.m. We took Highway 18 near Lincoln City from the coast to Portland and Interstate 84 to Cascade Locks. We lunched there and crossed the Bridge of the Gods to Washington Highway 14.
By then the weather had improved. When we reached Columbia Hills State Park, across the Columbia River from The Dalles, we enjoyed the sunshine.
So, we stopped at Horsethief Butte, a part of the park for Nora to toilet and romp. We often stop there. Last October, for example, on our way back from Newport, we met a young rattlesnake curled in the trail.
We again spent an hour there. Nora and I climbed to the top of the butte for a panoramic view across Highway 14 and to the Columbia Hills Park along the river.
We reached Walla Walla at 4:37 p.m.
"We had a good trip," Darlene said as we parked. "But it's nice to be home."
"It is," I said.

As you read this, you are seven conversations away from higher revenue – and making The Shift to customer-centricity. Take it from someone who has "been there, done that" – Dan Fylstra, CEO of Frontline Systems, who writes:
"What's it like to have Kristin Zhivago as a revenue coach? I think our return in incremental revenue from implementing the changes resulting from her work was probably 50x -100x her consulting fees, and would have been more if we had acted on them sooner. But even more valuable was the change of thinking that working with Kristin induced in me and my key people. It was a shift from a customer-centric view in theory to a much more reality-based, customer-centric approach in practice. Like the credit card commercials, that part has been 'priceless.'" – Daniel Fylstra, CEO of Frontline Systems
I'm putting this admittedly horn-tooting quote in the Revenue Journal for one reason: to help you realize that you are seven conversations away from making The Shift from a "customer-centric view in theory" to a "much more reality-based, customer-centric approach in practice." Which, as Dan says, is "priceless." (By the way, Dan is defined in the Wikipedia as "a pioneer of the software products industry…founding associate of Byte magazine…co-founder of Personal Software…which became the distributor of VisiCalc, the first widely used spreadsheet." I have a lot of respect for Dan and all he's done.)
Everything you need to accomplish this "priceless" state, yourself, is available to you, right now.
Living in the customer's world
It has become common wisdom among company leaders now that they must be living in their customer's reality instead of their own – that customers are in control of the buying process, and they have countless choices. If you're not making it easy for them to choose you, they're gone – forever.
So the real problem is, how do you get everyone in your company to start living in your customer's reality? The answer is thoroughly described in my book: You interview, by phone, at least seven customers who have already bought from you. Then you ACT on what they tell you.
Doing so ensures that you are there for your future customers, at every single step of their buying process, with every single thing they need, so they are most likely to buy from you. You make sure that your products, processes, people, policies, and services are designed and implemented in a way that meets customers where they are. As Zack Heller says in a recent review of the book:
Lead the way and adopt your business to the way the world is heading, and you'll find consumers waiting there for you. Roadmap to Revenue will give you the inspiration you need to start that journey.
It seems deceptively simple. But it does require humility, courage, and the ability to act on what you learn. As Dan also wrote, in his review of Roadmap to Revenue:
Of course this is not a magic elixir — the hard part is figuring out exactly how you are going to address the weak points in your product/service and processes that customers have told you about in the interviews, and then actually implement the changes you need to make. While, if you make what she calls "The Shift," you probably will see a significant increase in revenue, this is not a one-time event but an ongoing process.
But this is the real deal, applicable to just about any business with customers — it is definitely NOT "yet another marketing strategy book" to read and then place on the bookshelf, or at the back of the e-reader. If, like me, you're running a business and you have so much to do that you must ruthlessly prioritize your time and attention, you would do well to force this book to the top of your list, read it of course, but then ACT on it.
You can't afford not to do this. Not now. As Steve O'Keefe said in the article he wrote about the method:
You can't reason through this yourself – bright as you are, with all your experience running your own company for many years. The only one who knows what it's like to be a customer of yours is a customer.
Obviously, a key role I play as a revenue coach is to help companies "address the weak points in your product/service and processes," but I also tell you how to do that, working with your team, in the book.
If you're a marketer, you will not BELIEVE what happens to your career after you make those seven magic phone calls, and you start leading your company in a new, customer-pleasing direction. You will gain a level of confidence and certitude that you never experienced before. People in your company will respect you more than you never thought possible. I've helped thousands of marketers discover this for themselves.
As a CEO, entrepreneur, or marketer, you are literally 7 conversations away from a new, customer-centric working life – and sure-fire ways to bring more revenue into your company.

Two Des Moines men have been arrested and charged with burglary and robbery after they reportedly robbed an Urbandale homeowner at gunpoint last week.
Leonel Najarro-Zamora, 21, and Eduardo Ontiveros, 20, were both charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery, according to a news release from the Urbandale Police Department. On July 10, a homeowner in the 7000 block of Roseland Drive returned home to find the two men in the midst of a burglary.
Najarro-Zamora and Ontiveros allegedly robbed the homeowner at gunpoint, according to the release.
The two men also were allegedly connected to other daytime robberies in Urbandale. In the robberies, the pair would knock on a door or ring a doorbell and then force their way inside a residence.
The news release did not say how many robberies the two allegedly were involved in or whether additional charges are pending. An Urbandale police spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.

You know they had to do concept sketches of pretty much everything before it was built or made. Is all that material lost? I think we've only seen a small portion of it.

Happy New Year!
Last year Mrs. Winston and I made only one New Year's resolution: to lose weight and keep it off, a resolution shared by many Americans and kept by less than half. The Winston's illustrate that particular statistic quite nicely—Mrs. Winston has never looked better. This year, I have decided to make a resolution I have half a chance of actually keeping, so I've decided to embrace my inner athlete. That's right, my one and only resolution is to get back into sports. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to start competing with David Beckham or going for Kobe's job. I still prefer riding the sofa to riding a thoroughbred, so I am going to confine my participation in athletics to watching sports from the safety and comfort of my living room.
I made this decision shortly after sitting sown with a pumpkin spice latte to watch the Patriots make history and win their sixteenth straight game for a record breaking perfect season. Like many people, I assumed the Pats would be up two touchdowns before the first quarter and I could switch over to the Project Runway marathon, which I watch strictly for research. As you know by now, that was not to be. They did win of course, but it was not quite the walk in the park that many predicted. It was a hard won battle requiring skill, athleticism and heart. The Giants were in no mood to hand over a perfect season—they made them fight for it, and it was an exciting battle from start to finish. I found myself glued to the set, yelling, jumping up and down and getting my heart rate up into the fat burning zone for several minutes. Yes, this was a fitness regimen I could really get in to. I haven't had that much fun working out since I played in the father/daughter tetherball tournament back in '02. And, most importantly, it is an exercise routine I can really stick to.
For those of you with loftier goals for 2008, Rush Imprint is now offering the Eco 51% Recycled Owl Journal. It's the perfect place to write down your resolutions and track your progress. The Owl writing tablet is made from 100% post consumer waste so if one of your goals is to be greener…you are off to a good start. Since there is plenty of room for your logo, this eco journal makes a great giveaway. Recipients will associate your brand with an environmentally responsibly fresh start and will see your name every time they check off another item on their "to do" list—a winning combination to start the New Year.
Well, I'm off to catch the last half of "Project Runway" I'm hoping to get a meeting with Heidi Klum and I hear she is a stickler for being prepared. I leave you with the words of a great American hero, Oprah Winfrey: "Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right."

Older black women with breast cancer do not receive beneficial chemotherapy as often as white women
Research Activities, November 2009
Older women (65 to 69 years old) with operable breast cancer that has spread to one or more lymph nodes often benefit from receiving chemotherapy, clinical trials show. However, black women in this age group do not receive chemotherapy as often as white women, a new study finds. Researchers at the University of Texas used data from Medicare, the U.S. Census, and the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry. They found 14,177 white women and 1,277 black women who were diagnosed with operable stage II or IIIA breast cancer with positive lymph nodes between 1991 and 2002. For the 65-69 age group, 66 percent of white women received chemotherapy within 6 months of being diagnosed compared with 56 percent of black women. However, this racial disparity diminished with age.
For instance, after age 74 there were no significant differences between the percentages of white and black women receiving chemotherapy. When researchers adjusted the results to include socioeconomic status for women aged 65 to 69, poverty appeared to be at the root of the racial differences in who received chemotherapy. Despite being insured by Medicare, out-of-pocket costs and copayments may be burdensome for women without means, and women who live in poor areas may also have poor health, other health conditions, and employment difficulties. This study was funded in part by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS16743). See "Racial and socioeconomic disparities in adjuvant chemotherapy for older women with lymph node-positive, operable breast cancer," by Alessia Bhargava and Xianglin L. Du, M.D., Ph.D., in the July 1, 2009 Cancer 115(13), pp. 2999-3008.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
If you need to sharpen a chainsaw chain in the field, the Dremel 1453 Chain Saw Sharpener Attachment with its battery-operated rotary tools is the most convenient option. Most reviewers say this kit of three sharpening stones, gauge, spacers and wrench works very well and quickly, taking just 5 to 8 minutes per chain. However, it does require more finesse than a bench-mount sharpener.
Free-handing it. Owners almost universally praise how well the Dremel 1453 Chain Saw Sharpener Attachment works. "[It] gives you a phenomenally sharp edge that will last a long time," posts one Amazon.com user who's thrilled that it doesn't take a lot of metal off the chain with each pass, although this depends on how light a touch you use. Once you have your rotary tool set up, it takes just minutes to sharpen a chain, reviewers say.
No news is usually good news. Consumers don't have much to say about the Dremel 1453's safety, and that's generally a good thing. One Walmart.com owner says he thinks it's safer to use than a file, and several like that you can sharpen the chain while it's still on the saw. Not having to take the chain on and off equals less time spent fiddling with the tensioner.
The sharpener attachment comes with three grinding stones of 5/32, 3/16 and 7/32 inches, and can be used with Dremel tool models 4200, 4000, 400, 3000, 300, 398, 395, 285, 275, 200, 100, 8220, 8200, 8100, 800 and 770.
Instructions are a dud. The Dremel 1453 Chain Saw Sharpener Attachment is easy enough to use: It's just a grinding stone with a guide to set the angle and depth of the grind. The instructions, however, remain a sore point. Users say they're at best difficult to decipher, and a few dislike having to free-hand the tool: "It's not easy to hold the grinder at a consistent angle from tooth to tooth, but the guide helps," posts an owner at Lowes.com. Still, the Dremel is tops if you need to sharpen a chain away from the workshop, reviewers say.

Article Summary:
When going into the backcountry, your feet are the most important part of your system and often the weakest link. What I put on my feet is of huge importance. Prior to completing the Alaska Mountain Wilderness Classic in 2011, I thought that foot fatigue and damage limited performance more definitively than muscular fatigue. I now know that while this does happen, it's not necessarily always the case. Thorough, well-considered training of your feet and legs is one step towards eliminating this barrier to wilderness performance. A solid footwear system is another.
Preemptive foot care is vital because getting anything beyond trivial maladies to heal while on the go is difficult. Footwear is one of the few "no fail" pieces of backcountry gear. A torn raincoat, punctured Thermarest, or ripped sleeping bag would be a nuisance, but not life threatening, and field repairable. Catastrophic shoe (or backpack) failure has the potential to seriously ruin your day. This article is written around the assumption that preemptive foot care and bomber footwear are interrelated prolegomena to backcountry enjoyment.
This article is limited to shoulder season footwear for a light and fast approach to wilderness travel. Shoulder season is here defined as lower 48, Rocky Mountains centric. For me, shoulder season is too cold and wet for just wool socks, with snow possible but temps much below 20 (F) unlikely. Stream crossings, wet postholing, and soaked brush make Goretex socks sub-optimal. In Montana, this period is normally late April through mid June and September through mid November, depending on year-to-year variation and altitude. Fast and light simply means this: enough continuous, all day motion to provide a dependable source of warmth. The systems outlined below depend on this, and the level of exertion required will vary substantially person to person. If these conditions and this approach sound like they'd fit well with your hiking, read on. If you hike on dry trails most of the time, stay away from gnarly weather, and take hour-long tea breaks while backpacking, this article is not meant for you.
My system is built around simplicity and the ability to keep feet warm by generating heat. If you prefer to travel slower, or have cold feet, some of the ideas outlined in Rietveld and Reichl's Lightweight Footwear Systems for Snow Travel or Ryan Jordan's Spring Footwear would be worth looking at. I find Jordan's overboot system too hot for just about any conditions in which I won't be wearing ski boots, and, as discussed below, merely relying on thick wool socks for insulation from the cold (as Jordan does in his lighter system) can be effective but is not as good as light neoprene socks. Rietveld and Reichl's systems are light and flexible, but the less-warm incarnations rely on Goretex socks for water protection. As outlined below, my shoulder season hiking invariably involves wading streams far deeper than Goretex socks are tall. For this terrain, neoprene socks are more effective. Neoprene socks are also very durable, whereas Goretex socks are notorious for loosing their waterproofing in high wear areas like toes and the heel. Many users will find the comprehensive system outlined below to be more effective and efficient.
- Principle #1: Wear light, non-waterproof trail shoes that fit well and provide optimal traction for and protection from the expected terrain.
- Principle #2: Wear gaiters.
- Principle #3: Have an outside-the-box sock quiver.
- Principle #4: Give your feet time to recover.
