Mr RichIdeal little saddle pouch, easily removed with the release, nicely produced product
Mr RICHESAs the name suggests - it is a pod and the small is small! However that is just what i was after so I can't complain there. This is a pack for those who like to carry minimal amount of gear and hate things rattling around behind you. If you cram it all in then you can fit an inner tube, levers, CO2 cannister and inflater. If you really try you can also squeeze in one of the small Lezyne tools. It doesn't rattle and the fixing is very secure.
Mr ThomsWent for the small and it is VERY compact. Saying that, managed to fit an inner tube, CO2 canister and tyre levers in it so perfect for looking sleek and carrying kit.

text: 591 FXUS63 KLSX 272102 AFDLSX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 402 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 .SHORT TERM... (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 305 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Showers and thunderstorms were developing and spreading back northward into our area ahead of the upper level low over eastern CO and western KS, and northeast of a shortwave approaching from the southern Plains. These showers/storms should impact most of the forecast area this evening, possibly continuing into the late night hours. Mild temperatures can be expected again tonight due to the cloud cover, relatively high surface dew points, and southerly winds. GKS .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Next Friday) Issued at 305 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 The threat for showers/storms will continue on Saturday and Saturday night as the negatively tilted upper level trough moves northeastward through the area. Should finally get a dry period from Sunday into at least early Monday as the upper level trough shifts northeast of our area with a weak surface ridge moving eastward through the region after the passage of a weak surface trough. Convection should return by Monday afternoon or night to much of the area as a warm and moist southerly flow returns as the surface ridge shifts east of our area, while weak southwest flow shortwaves move through the region. The ECMWF and GFS model solutions diverge after the Memorial Day weekend. The ECMWF model has a strong upper level trough moving eastward through the northern Plains which sends a cold front southeastward through our forecast area late Tuesday night and Wednesday with convection along and ahead of this front, followed by cooler and drier weather by Thursday night. The GFS model keeps us in southwest upper level flow with a slow moving upper level low developing over the central Plains. The GFS solution would keep the chance of convection going through the entire extended forecast. The ECMWF model solution looks more realistic for this time of the year. For now will reduce pops by Thursday night, but keep slight chance pops going through the end of the forecast. GKS && .AVIATION... (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 1238 PM CDT Fri May 27 2016 Difficult forecast regarding precipitation trends for this valid TAF period. Believe chances for showers and thunderstorms will increase this afternoon into very early evening ahead of next shortwave. Could be a lull tonight with another wave late tonight/early on Saturday possible. Other concern in the near term is the MVFR ceilings but expect only a short period of these ceilings before they lift into VFR. Specifics for KSTL: MVFR ceilings likely next few hours. Scattered showers and storms also expected to increase this afternoon ahead of next shortwave trough. Convective trends become more ambiguous overnight tonight and into the day on Saturday.

Russian general and military historian: Stalingrad turning point of WWII
It was the Battle of Stalingrad that broke the back of the Wehrmacht, says army general Makhmut Gareyev.Historians tend to disagree about the significance of the Battle of Stalingrad for the outcome of the Second World War. Many western scholars claimed that it was not the Battle of Stalingrad, but the British victory at El Alamein, where Montgomery's Eighth Army triumphed over Rommel's Afrika Korps in November 1942, that marked the war's biggest turning point.For the sake of fairness, it has to be said that El Alamein made a substantial contribution to Hitler's eventual defeat – not least because it marked the first defeat of Erwin Rommel, Germany's legendary practitioner of blitzkrieg tactics, and because it came as a big morale boost for the Allies.However, strategically, the surrender of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad, less than three months later, was a much bigger blow for Hitler and the Wehrmacht's morale. It marked the first major, decisive defeat on Hitler's Eastern Front, and paved the way for the Red Army's advance on Berlin in 1945....

Stan really liked the gamja-salad I made last week. Today he and his friend Ryan (striped shirt) came home early from school. They were a little bored and I said: "Why don't you make Maangchi's gamja-salad?". They went to the supermarket to get some potatoes and a cucumber. Together they watched your clip and with just a little help from me they fixed it! Very proud of them!
The recipe for Gamja-salad (Korean style potato salad: 감자샐러드) is here!

"John Kerry agrees to testify on Benghazi attack"
To avoid having to appear before the select committee. The coward.
Wonder if he'll blame the US consulate staff and the two dead SEALs for instigating the attacks. After all, his career has gone pretty well for a guy whose claim to fame is marrying wealthy and lying about the behavior of his fellow service men, essentially aiding-and-abetting the North Vietnamese. Though in fairness, there's a better-than-even chance that this time he simply blames the Zionists and the Christians. For their provocations. Which their continued existence carries with it. Washington Times:
Secretary of State John Kerry says he's willing to testify before the House Oversight committee on the Benghazi attack.
The State Department sent a letter to Chairman Darrell Issa of California. The letter says diplomatic responsibilities will prevent Kerry from appearing on May 29. That's the date of the committee subpoena.
But the department offers alternative dates of June 12 or June 20.
The department also says that if Kerry testifies before the House Oversight panel, then there is no need for him to appear before a newly-formed special select committee investigating the 2012 assault on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.
Issa should simply respond that his testimony before the House Oversight committee is no longer needed, as he'll be called before the special select committee in due time. A failure to do so would suggest that ego has superseded the desire for justice. And while that would be a pity, it would also be completely within keeping of the DC culture of insularity and "collegiality," the occasional grandstanding not withstanding.

Ferry Boat Inn: "Ferry Boat Inn - traditional pub" Felixstowe Restaurant Tip by sue_stone
Felixstowe Restaurants: 3 reviews and 4 photos
The Ferry Boat Inn is a cool old pub located close to the ferry terminal at the northern end of Felixstowe. It dates back to the 15th century, and has lovely flagstone floors, low ceilings and a wood burning stove. The walls are lined with old photos and drawings of days gone by.
Make sure you check out the plaque showing the flood levels over the years - one year the water came up to the top of the bar!
Favorite Dish: The FBI (as the locals call it) has a good selection of beers, and reportedly serves up some decent food as well.
We popped in there for a drink one afternoon, after a long walk by the sea. We sat inside and enjoyed the old world atmosphere. There are also tables outside, wind permitting.
Address: By the Ferry, Felixstowe, Suffolk, IP11 9RZ
Price Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: On the Deben Estuary side of Felixstowe (north) follow signs to the golf club and keep going to the end of the road to the ferry.
Phone: 01394 284203

When I started working with Renee Schafer Horton, I was an experienced journalist about to venture into the realm of column writing, and Renee was a seasoned columnist whose regular venues had included the Dallas Morning News. When I asked for her help, she stepped into the role of my mentor. Renee didn't fall all over herself to speak gently when she saw something that wasn't working in my writing. She was dependably straightforward. Yet our editing sessions almost always boosted my self-esteem. It felt as if she knew the path ahead of me and admired the writer I was sure to become. (It didn't hurt that she's very funny. When you're being edited, comic relief can be such a … relief.)
- Laura Marble, freelance writer, former Northwest Explorer columnist
When Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast, I was in the midst of editing several memoirs for a group of senior citizens. Having no power or access to my studio for several weeks, I reached out to my colleague Renee Schafer Horton for emergency editorial assistance. Renee jumped right in, tackling a particularly dense and rambling piece of writing. She restructured and polished the text, cut extraneous words without losing the main narrative, corrected grammar and punctuation, and made many other thoughtful suggestions that greatly improved the story. Her editorial services were a Godsend! I heartily recommend Renee for your next book project.
– Judith Dupré, judithdupre.com
Having worked on stories with Renee, I've benefited from her careful sentence crafting and precise choice of details. Her empathy leads her to the resonating questions, whether directed at a journalistic source or at another writer. Her doggedness leads her to answers and beautifully polished prose. I'm grateful to have had the chance to learn from her and would recommend it without pause.

"The [EIA] is corrupt," says Rogers, who was featured in a 2011 New York Times article "Insiders Sound an Alarm Amid a Natural Gas Rush." "There's no way that the Department of Energy and the EIA, which falls under its auspices, is not corrupted by the oil and gas industry. There's just too much money involved as far as political contributions. "The EIA has found itself between a rock and a hard place. It's the same thing that's happened with the Environmental Protection Agency in a way. The U.S. government isn't as powerful as the oil and gas industry. It doesn't have deep pockets. If they come out with anything that's not favorable to the industry, the industry sues

Film: 'The Golden Compass'; Cast: Dakota Blue Richards, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Sam Elliot; Director: Chris Weitz; Rating: **
'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy casts a long shadow and any fantasy movie made now has to work very hard to crawl out it. Although 'The Golden Compass' had the credible trilogy of 'His Dark Materials' by author Philip Pullman to work with, it falls woefully short of expectations. This is a big budget adventure movie that manages to create a magical world but simply does not make us care or ever really want to return.
Director Chris Weitz clearly seems bogged down by the material and slavishly remains true to the book. So much so that he merely tries to depict the narrative and leaves no room for empathy. The plot line darts all over the place and rushes to fit in every sub plot. The fact that this is just the first instalment and serves more to set up the trilogy adds to the frustration. We are presented so many strands of sub plots without getting any clear notion of what all the fuss is about.
'The Golden Compass' is about a world, which in many ways is similar to our own but where humans are accompanied by 'daemons'. These are animals that host the human's soul.
There is a ruling body called the Magisterium that wants to control the humans by not allowing them to exercise their free wills. An orphan girl, Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards), whom many believe in for the fulfilment of some prophecy wants to rescue a friend of hers who has mysteriously disappeared. But she is enticed to go on a trip with Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman) who has some ulterior motives.
The strongest point of the movie is the magical world it creates and the interesting details depicted. The movie comes close to pulling us into this world but because of its need to present the narrative, we are not allowed to soak in and luxuriate in the fantasy.
The director tries to pace the movie by not allowing any dead moments by peppering action scenes. There are two major action scenes - two huge bears duelling and a confrontation between the good guys and the bad guys. But even these are not thrilling and fall flat.
Another tragedy is that the cast has some fine actors but they are not allowed to flesh out the characters. Daniel Craig, Nicole Kidman and Eva Green are all wasted here. Craig and Green have very few scenes and Kidman isn't anything more than a caricature.
The scenes are so rushed that we do not get a chance to connect with them and though they seem to think that they are on an all-important quest, we couldn't really care less.
Most of the attention this movie got was for the mild controversy it created with the Catholic church fearing that the Magisterium represented them and that young children would be polluted with anti-god thoughts. The fear seems ungrounded now since the movie doesn't even seem to explore any such themes. For those who have not read the books and would have done so if the movie were good enough are probably not going to want to read them now.
The 'Golden Compass' is a mess, but it is a fine looking mess.

Wish all the colors came in the double scoop size
By glass mltr

As a mixed media artist, I'm continually finding more uses for these. I'm a long time fan of Caran d'Ache II which are great for using during travel. The Gelatos can be used in the same way but some have a metallic bonus, which can also be found in some of the Caran d'Ache II. I've not tried the ones that are the regular size but those would be less to carry if traveling. These can be used dry & then water added later with a brush, spray or whatever. I'm sure there are lots more uses....don't be afraid to experiment.

My question is very basic, but I didn't find an answer on a Google search.
In Java, what is the maximum size a
String object may have, referring to the
length() method call?
I know that
length() return the size of a
String as a
char [];
Considering the
In terms of lengths and indexing of arrays, (such as
Furthermore, the indexing must be by
Therefore, it appears that the limit is indeed
However, there probably are going to be other limitations, such as the maximum allocatable size for an array.
Since arrays must be indexed with integers, the maximum length of an array is
In addition, The specification of
You can find that the size of 'length' is two bytes.
That the return type of a certain method (e.g.
The maximum length at compilation time is at most 65536. Note again that the length is the number of bytes of the modified UTF-8 representation, not the number of characters in a
apparently it's bound to an int, which is 0x7FFFFFFF (2147483647).
The Return type of the length() method of the String class is int.
Refer http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#length()
So the maximum value of int is 2147483647.
String is considered as char array internally,So indexing is done within the maximum range. This means we cannot index the 2147483648th member.So the maximum length of String in java is 2147483647.
Primitive data type int is 4 bytes(32 bits) in java.As 1 bit (MSB) is used as a sign bit,The range is constrained within -2^31 to 2^31-1 (-2147483648 to 2147483647). We cannot use negative values for indexing.So obviously the range we can use is from 0 to 2147483647.

Rails, Romance and Really Good Wine
The columnists toast their 30th anniversary on a train excursion with Dom Pérignon -- and a derailment
On April 14, 1979, we were married in the backyard of Dottie's family home in Tallahassee, Fla. After the celebratory dinner, John's parents drove us and the very last bottle of Taittinger to the train station in Jacksonville, where we boarded a train to Chicago on our way to Napa Valley. Thirty years later, our parents are gone, the train we rode that night no longer exists, our own daughters are in college -- and we decided to spend our anniversary aboard a train to Chicago with a bottle of Champagne from 1973, the year we met.
The trip was a surprise gift from John to Dottie and, guys, you will know what John means when he says: It sure seemed like a good idea at the time.
Any true wine journey is a love story and don't let anyone tell you different. Maybe it's love of a region, of the soil, of tastes, of the people who surround wine. Sometimes it's just plain love, between two people. That's what happened to us. We were 21 when we met. We had in common a passion for journalism, Dottie's face -- Dottie owns it and John is obsessed with it -- and, in short order, wine. Wine wasn't just a nice beverage. It was a place. It was a place because of where it came from. When we bought a bottle, we'd take it home and excitedly look in books to see where it was made and imagine ourselves there someday. And it was a place because it put us in a place, just the two of us, where no one else really lived.
A sleeper car aboard a train was the ultimate place. John's sainted grandmother always came to visit his family in Florida aboard a train. They waited for her on the outdoor platform. When the appropriately named Silver Meteor, glistening in the Florida sun, finally appeared, it was as if his grandmother had stepped right off from Heaven. So when we met, John suggested we start taking the train and we did. Then we started taking sleepers and only leaving the room to eat. Then we started taking food and Champagne with us and we never left the room. These were the days before cellphones and we were deliciously unreachable. Our lives have never been more intimate than they were in those tiny little sleeper cars.
But we were younger then, and thinner.
We decided to take a quick trip from New York to Chicago on the Lake Shore Limited. We'd leave Tuesday afternoon, spend our anniversary night on the train and then come back the next day. It's about 19 hours one way and 22 the other. As it happened, the week we traveled, David Sedaris had a piece in the New Yorker about a trip he took long ago on the Lake Shore Limited. "Nothing short of a derailment could have soured my good mood," he wrote, and we knew just what he meant.
We are often asked how to find an older bottle of wine with which to celebrate an anniversary. It's much easier than it used to be, thanks to the Internet. Go to wine-searcher.com, wineaccess.com or winezap.com and enter the year. You might also want to try 2020wines.com, hdhwine.com and aabalat.com. This is a case where you want to work with a reputable merchant (obviously, a local one if possible) to whom you can make clear the importance of the bottle. Be prepared that, with older wines, there is simply no guarantee that they will still be good. (For more details on this, go to WSJ.com/Tastings.)
In our case, our choice of Champagne for our anniversary night was easy. A few years ago, Dottie gave John a bottle of Dom Pérignon "Oenothèque" 1973. Even regular bottles of Dom Pérignon, like those of all prestige Champagnes, are aged in the cellars, on their sediment, for many years, but Oenothèque is special. A small number of bottles from certain vintages are held back even longer, getting careful attention for decades. Our bottle had been "disgorged" -- the sediment and stuff finally separated from the wine -- in 1999, after fully 26 years of care in the caves. While 1973 was not a great year in Champagne, it was a good one.
We are also often asked if Champagne ages well, and there is debate about that. The French feel that Champagne is perfect to drink when it's released. The English like their bubbly with some extra age. We side with the English on this one. We find that well-made sparklers -- and not just Champagne -- gain extra richness and complexity with some years. Their vitality and mouth-smacking acidity is replaced with a rounder, nuttier kind of wisdom that we like. The jeroboam of 1976 Bollinger La Grande Année we drank for our millennium celebration was the best Champagne we've ever had. And we're partial to Champagnes that have been kept in the cellars for extended periods; we've always been especially fond of Bollinger R.D., which stands for "recently disgorged."
We boarded the train with an elegant picnic and an ice bucket filled with ice and our Dom Pérignon. We have been taking sleeper cars since they were those little, all-metal sardine cans with the fold-down sinks. Years ago, Amtrak replaced them, on Eastern routes, with a somewhat larger, more comfortable room complete with a video screen. The last movie we saw on one was "Tin Cup" with Kevin Costner. Those sleepers are still in use and they've clearly seen a lot of living. Now there is just a space where the video screen used to be. Our attendant -- friendly and helpful, like every Amtrak employee we encountered on this trip -- explained that the video system was based on VHS technology and when it became obsolete, they took out the video screens. " 'Twister' was the last movie they showed on this train," he said. He added that, along with the video screens, Amtrak also took out the electronics that allowed sleeping-room passengers to summon the attendant, which meant we needed to knock on his door if we needed him. (An Amtrak spokesman told us later that there still are attendant call buttons in sleepers, though perhaps ours was malfunctioning, and that the VHS system was obsolete and today's passengers travel with their own entertainment anyway.)
The Lake Shore Limited travels right up the Hudson River to Albany. It's a beautiful ride and we were already in bed, with our bedclothes on, when the sun set. We prepared some crackers, cheese and pâté and opened the 1973 with tremendous anticipation. It was dark in color, with a caramel-butterscotch nose that reminded us of a very old Hungarian wine we had once at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Fla. It offered what Dottie called "a little trail of bubbles." The first taste was good, but not great. The wine tasted too much like component parts -- some orange peels, some nuts, some acidity, but not a whole package. Dottie said it was as if we were tasting new wine on top of old wine and they weren't combined well. We certainly liked the wine, but it lacked the presence we expected. As we sipped it, the bubbly continued to improve, and by the time the stars were twinkling and we headed west, it was very good. "You know," Dottie said at that point, "I think if we were home I'd decant this." John has heard Dottie say many odd things over the years -- this is our 550th Tastings column, so he's just about heard it all -- but she had never before suggested decanting a Champagne. We decided to put a special Champagne cork stopper into the bottle -- this is always a good thing to travel with -- and leave it for the night.
Wine Notes
Q: Cathy and I are celebrating our 40th anniversary this year in July. I want to try and find a decent, reasonably priced wine from 1969. Do you have any suggestions where I might look?
--John Balser, Cheyenne, Wyo.
A: One of the few downsides to a long marriage is that it gets more and more difficult to pull this off. If you happened to get married in a fine year, such as 1961, the wines might still be great, but they are generally very expensive. If you got married in a not-so-fine year, the wines are probably long past their peak. Consider 1969. In the 1998 edition of "Bordeaux," wine critic Robert M. Parker writes of the Bordeaux wines of that year: "I can honestly say I have never tasted a red wine in 1969 that I did not dislike…and it is hard to imagine that any of these wines are today any more palatable than they were during the seventies." Ouch! Fortunately, Burgundy was better. In wines this old, Port is sometimes a good bet, but 1969 wasn't much of a year for Port, either. Sorry, but we understand the problem, since we were married in the so-so 1979 vintage, proving that John was right that we should have waited longer, perhaps until 1982. (If you heard that ouch, that was the sound of John being pinched.)
All that said, don't give up. Go to wine-searcher.com, wineaccess.com or winezap.com and enter the year. You might also want to try 2020wines.com, hdhwine.com and aabalat.com. We just conducted this search ourselves and found quite a few interesting wines from 1969 at all prices. This is a case where you want to work with a reputable merchant (obviously, a local one if possible) to whom you can make clear the importance of the bottle. Be prepared that, with older wines, there is simply no guarantee that they will still be good (and if the wine is affordable, that's likely because the seller thinks its best days are far behind it). But it's the thought that counts. And you can always consider getting a wine from the year you met if that was a better vintage. So many people try to do this for their anniversary, by the way, that one Web site even has a chart of old vintages that it calls the "anniversary vintage chart." To see it, go to www.wine-pages.com/resources/vintold.shtml. It goes back to 1900, for those extra-long marriages.
We don't often have Champagne for breakfast, but we poured the Dom as we passed Gary, Ind., and, overnight, it had become terrific. Dottie was right. The flavors had become rich, round and melded. The wine, at first, reminded us of the toasted crust of a brioche -- pretty well perfect for breakfast. Ultimately, we realized that the taste was familiar -- it was the taste of the meatiest part of a very plump, perfectly sweet cashew. Dottie loves cashews and this was like drinking the essence of a great one. It turned out to be a very memorable bottle. John says he's still not sure he would have had the nerve to decant the wine, but it clearly would have been the right thing to do.
After a lovely day in Chicago, we headed back to Union Station with a bottle of Taittinger in our ice bucket, for old time's sake. When we checked in, we were whisked onto the train for a sleeping-car-only wine-and-cheese reception aboard the dining car. This was a lovely gesture. As we left Chicago, we opened the Taittinger and recalled why we loved it so much that we made it our wedding bubbly. It really does taste just like Champagne should taste -- classy, citrusy, chalky, fresh, clean, vibrant and fun, with some nuts and mushrooms to boot. It tasted awfully young after that Dom, but it made for a nice bookend to that old sparkler.
The next day, as we were nearing Schenectady, the train derailed. Our attendant later told us it was a "good derailment," because no one was injured. The train stopped suddenly, but we did not get seriously jostled. We didn't know anything was wrong until the police and the emergency vehicles from the Tribes Hill Volunteer Fire Department showed up. Then reporters arrived, then camera crews. Then an army of equipment from an outfit called R.J. Corman Derailment Services LLC. Derailment services! Who knew?
The electricity went out after the first hour and our room began to get warm. There was only one thing to do: Open another bottle of Champagne that we had chilling. We have often said that, when shopping for Champagne, look for a little number on the label that starts with a couple of letters. If it says RM, it's a grower's own Champagne and can be quite special. While we were in Chicago, we dropped into a store and saw an RM we'd never seen before with an unusual label. Most Champagnes go for elegance in their labeling; this one, however, was boldly colored in yellow and blue. We figured any Champagne producer with enough character to slap on such a colorful label would probably make a wine we'd like. It was Lamiable "Les Meslaines" Brut Grand Cru 2003. We opened it up. It was fascinating -- almost a cross between the Taittinger and the 1973 Dom, with plenty of yeast and a touch of creamy caramel, and mouth-watering acidity. It was as bold as its label.
We had made a point to ignore the news on our little trip. As journalists our whole lives, it's always a vacation for us to be out of touch. But John finally gave in and keyed up "WSJ" on his cellphone's news ticker. The first item was this: "Plan Lifts Hopes for Speedier Rails. The U.S. plans $13 billion over the next five years to enhance passenger rail as an alternative to crowded highways and airports."
After about four hours -- and without a single announcement from the train crew updating us about our situation -- the train and its 221 passengers finally pulled away. Amtrak said later that the last car on the train, an empty dining car that was simply being transported from one place to another, had gone off the tracks, which unfortunately is a pretty apt metaphor for the sad state of the food we sampled on the train.
We have to admit that, much as we love trains and expect delays, the four hours outside of Tribes Hill tried our patience. We were hot, tired, annoyed and ready to be home. We had looked forward to arriving in time to see our daughter Media board a train for Spring Fling at Penn, and we didn't. We were both recalling why normal people spend their anniversaries at fancy local restaurants. But as the train finally began to move down the Hudson, at a time when we should already have been in New York City, the sun began to set. We have seen sunsets from Amtrak trains all over the country. The ones in the West are often spectacular and the ones from the Coast Starlight against the Pacific are breathtaking. But this was the most magnificent sunset we had ever seen from an East Coast train -- golden, blue, purple, pink and orange. All sorts of airplanes left white streaks in the sky going every-which-way and those streaks, miraculously, turned pink, too.
With another three hours to go, we decided to pull the emergency cork. We had brought along a half bottle of Robert Pecota Moscato d'Andrea, one of our all-time favorite dessert wines. It's a small bottle and easy to carry and, well, you just never know, so we packed it. We poured the wine into our Champagne flutes and held the amber-gold wine up to our window. And darned if it wasn't exactly, perfectly the same color as the sunset.

Tradition doesn't sleep in.
In a dark driveway off Petrovitsky Road near Renton, the engines start rumbling before sunrise. Chatter breaks the frosty morning air as kids and adults, bundled in scarves and hats, pile into big-wheeled trucks. The caravan thunders out of the driveway, marking yet another year of one family's Christmas tradition.
While others spend the first days of the holiday season focused on early-bird sales, the Lawson-Diemert-Palmer family heads east to the mountains. They pass up nearby tree lots in strip malls close to home, opting instead to spend the day driving on narrow, icy roads and charging up snow-covered hills in search of the perfect Christmas tree — eight trees, actually, one for every family.
Twenty-five years of early-morning Christmas-tree adventures started when brothers-in-law Dave Palmer and Tom Lawson saw an ad in the paper for Christmas tree permits in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and thought they'd try something different.

They always start early, getting up to the mountains and down again before most people wake up. Even the teenagers in the group manage bubbly smiles and enthusiasm at 6 a.m. on a cold Saturday morning.
"We like to get up there before everybody else does," Palmer said.
The family ends their adventure with breakfast on the way down — laughing and teasing each other over pancakes and chicken-fried steak at Charlie's in Enumclaw.
Lorén Palmer, 15, has been trekking on the family tree hunt since she was 3.
"It's an opportunity to spend time with your family," she said.
Into the woods
The family — part Lawson, part Diemert, part Palmer — is a big one. At Thanksgiving, 49 of them gathered in one house to eat a 30-pound turkey. Some of them live next door to each other. The family tree is complicated, but they're all somehow related. And when it's Christmas-tree time, everyone's invited.
Climbing up Highway 410 into the Cascades, the caravan veers off onto a snowy U.S. Forest Service road. This is the farthest they've ever gone on this road — usually the snow is too deep for trucks, Neal Diemert said.
The snow-covered roads are slick, and the trucks go up until there aren't any tracks to follow. The caravan comes to a stop, doors fly open and the kids bail out, scampering up the hill.
"I see my tree!" they scream.
This isn't a tree lot, where trees are grouped by height and price. There's no holiday music blaring on tinny loudspeakers. No miniature candy canes with tree purchase.
Searching for the right tree is tiring. It requires stumbling over snow-covered tree limbs and shaking snow off branches to get a better look at each tree. Some family members find trees closer to the road; others climb so high up hillsides that they appear specks to people below.
Cousins throw snowballs. Fathers and sons yell jokes back and forth. The youngest cousin eats snow from her mitten.
This family tradition is one shared by many in Southeast King County. The Enumclaw office of the U.S. Forest Service sells more tree permits each year than any other office in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, spokeswoman Renee Bodine said.
Rush for tree permits
During the second week of November every year, Forest Service employee Susan Price braces for a different kind of holiday rush: the opening of Christmas tree-permit season.
Last year, the Enumclaw office sold 3,700 of the $10 tree permits, Bodine said. The number of tree permits sold each year varies by the health of the forest and how many trees need to be thinned.
Part of the reason the Enumclaw office sells so many permits is because the coveted noble firs — usually quite pricey at tree lots — are easily accessible from the forest-service roads off of Highway 410, Price said.
The weekend after Thanksgiving is the biggest. Families meet in the Enumclaw Safeway parking lot and caravan up into the mountains. They take barbecues and spend the day, sledding and playing in the snow after they find their trees. Depending on what the weather is like and which roads are plowed, Christmas tree hunters can find their trees by going up several forest-service roads.
Although Price can't recall anyone who's gotten lost searching for the perfect tree, she's heard endless tales of cars getting stuck in the snow or fishtailing on icy roads.
Each year, Price gets a lot of people who buy tree permits for the first time.
They need to understand that getting a tree in the woods isn't as easy as it sounds, Price said. It's hard work to cut the tree down and these trees definitely don't look like the ones found in a lot.
"People don't realize that these are natural trees. They're not trimmed, they're not shaped. If you're looking for a pretty tree … no," said Price.
She's also quick to remind newcomers that while tree permits are fairly cheap, the cost of having to get towed out of the snow is not.
The Lawsons, Diemerts and Palmers are tree-finding professionals. It doesn't take long before the first tree comes down, dragged off the hill by one of the kids. The branches smell of the fresh, sappy pine, and cousins argue over who takes it home.
After all the trees are found — even one for grandma — the dads build a fire in the snow and the family shares hot chocolate from a Thermos. Just as a few more carloads of adventurous tree hunters pull up, the family packs up and heads back down the mountain.
Another year, another bunch of perfect trees.

After one game, "Friar ball" alive and running in 2011
Follow the Padres on Facebook

ST. LOUIS An hour after the Padres startled the Cardinals on Thursday with their 11th-inning, season-opening win, rookie first base coach Dave Roberts philosophized about baseball as he sees it.
"The little things are not little things," said Roberts.
"There are times when you do everything right, and you'll be beaten by the other team's overwhelming ability. It happens. There is nothing you can do about running into a hot pitcher or a guy who hits two or three homers.
"But other times . . . "
Other times, teams, specifically the Padres in this case, can win games by doing things that can't be statistically profiled in the boxscore.
The 2010 season was an example. Thursday was another.
Last time anyone checked, there was no list of league leaders in running the bases hard, no top 10 in taking the extra base on overthrows.
Nick Hundley calls it "classic Padres baseball."
Chase Headley refers to it as "the Padres way."
And they believe it is infectious.
"There are a lot of new guys here," Headley said Thursday after he scored the winning run by racing hard from first to third on a two-out single to right by Cameron Maybin and going home when the routine throw into the infield was bobbled.
"But I think they've caught on to what we're doing. The new guys see it. I think this team has a chance to be better than last year.
"We are so much more solid from top to bottom."
The host Cardinals outhit the Padres Thursday. And, St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter outpitched the resourceful Tim Stauffer. But the Padres won. Just like they scored many implausible wins in 2010. They didn't buckle under the pressure, hanging around until an opening presented itself.
Headley seems several reasons to be optimistic about the Padres offense in 2011, even if Adrian Gonzalez is in Boston.
"I really like the guys we've added," said the third baseman. "And I think we're going to take it to the next level."
The "we" is Headley, catcher Hundley and right fielder Will Venable -- the three homegrown members of the lineup who came to spring training committed to making their presence felt in 2011 after the spotlight was focused elsewhere during the 90-win season of 2010.
"I know I am capable of doing more now than I've ever done in the past," said Headley, "I know the same thing about Will and Nick. And they feel the same way.
"We understand this is our time. We were there when we lost 95 games. We're not prospects anymore. We're not the 'future' of the franchise. This is our time. And I think everything around us is so much more solid."
Padres manager Bud Black said this spring that the Padres don't necessarily need "career years" or "breakthrough seasons" from players.
"If we get consistent production, we'll be fine," said Black.
"I think one of the things we want to be consistent in is how we play," said Venable, who, like Headley, used his legs and head to score a run Thursday. "We did a great job last season in playing hard in most every game.
"That's not easy to do over a long season. But I think we played at a pretty high level. That's one thing we can't slip back on."
While Headley drops from fourth to sixth in the lineup this season easing some of the pressure, Venable moves into the leadoff slot.
