INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Roughly 20 employees working in shifts and toting picket signs have assembled peacefully this week near the three public entrances to the Raley's supermarket in Incline Village, days after thousands of employees went on strike at more than 100 stores in California and Nevada due to a long-standing labor dispute with the Sacramento-based private grocery chain.
A handful of store managers and other employees identifying themselves as being "on Raley's side" also have roamed the parking lot at the store just off Highway 28, the entire scene being monitored by a few security personnel from the Reno-based company ESI Security Services, there to ensure protests remained civil.
The strike, the first against Raley's in its 77-year-history, came after all-day talks Saturday failed to secure a new contract for the employees, according to the Associated Press. A midnight deadline was extended at the request of a federal mediator, but talks broke down around 2 a.m. Sunday, said Mike Henneberry, a spokesman for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
About four hours later, union workers and other employees with picket signs were at the Incline Village Raley's, along with many of the other 128 grocery stores throughout Northern California and Nevada, expressing their displeasure with the privately owned supermarket chain and encouraging residents to shop elsewhere at "fair-minded Union employers."
Both sides are reportedly at odds over a proposed wage freeze, elimination of premium pay for Sunday shifts and health care benefits. Raley's says it needs to cut costs in the face of a weak economy and competition from nonunionized companies that also sell groceries, such as Walmart, while union officials say the chain has not agreed to a full audit of its finances, and has been bargaining in bad faith since contract negotiations began.
The sides have been in negotiation for more than 15 months. Raley's spokesman John Segale said implementation of the corporate plan was necessary without an agreed bargain.
"The union has never let their members vote on their last and final offer, so we had no choice but to begin implementation," Segale said. "So what that wage portion of the contract does is it freezes pay increases for two years and eliminates Sunday and holiday premium pay."
According to a UFCW news release, union attorneys filed unfair labor practices charges due to violation of laws prohibiting harassment, circumventing the union's authority as a bargaining agent and submitting proposals that are worse than previous offers.
"A tragic mistake would be for Raley's management to interpret the union's fairness for weakness," said Jacques Loveall, president of UFCW 8-Golden State.
Segale said that despite the strike, all of the company's stores will be open as usual, albeit with replacement workers helping run operations. The Incline Village store has signs posted on its front windows informing people the store is "OPEN to serve you" and advertising immediate job openings for "Replacement Workers."
Locally, there is one Raley's store in Incline Village - which is currently undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation, according to previous reports, expected to finish by February 2013 - and two in South Lake Tahoe, as well others in Reno, Carson City, Sparks and Gardnerville. UFCW says it represents 7,400 of the chain's employees.
Not all locations are a part of a union, Segale said, and different departments of the store are a part of varying unions. Further, while the Incline Village location is affected, no other stores in Nevada are part of the strike.
"Workers are members of seven different unions," Segale said. "Some members may have decided to honor the picket line and not cross, but that's more of a support for a union, not necessarily their union that is striking. It varies from store to store."
On Lake Tahoe's South Shore, picketers were out this week at both Raley's stores. Strike Leader Luke Adams stood outside the Raley's near Stateline with a UFCW sign in his hand. He's worked for the company for the last 12 years on the South Shore, but he said he had no qualms when it came to joining the picket line.
"The benefits we have are going into corporate hands, and we've got to keep them," Adams said Monday. "I'll be out here as long as it takes. There's no fear involved."
Adams, who earned $21 per hour as the store's head meat cutter, said he's willing to take a severe pay cut - the union will pay him $100 for the first week of the strike - to fight for what many of the strikers said on Monday was their main concern: health care benefits for retirees.
This week in Incline Village, local union members handed out literature encouraging to-be shoppers to "please don't shop at Raley's" and asking them to "go down to Safeway in Kings Beach," while members of the other side encouraged residents and visitors to go inside and shop.
West Sacramento-based Raley's employs 13,000 people at 115 stores in California and 13 in Nevada operating under the Raley's name, as well as Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods, Food Source and Aisle 1 Fuel Stations, according to its website.

An earlier version of a story about an Asian-inspired feast incorrectly reported the name of the restaurant where chef Grace Nguyen previously worked. She is an alum of Slanted Door, a San Francisco restaurant.
Lion dancers, acrobats and firecrackers will fill city streets and parks this weekend as families around the world celebrate the Lunar New Year. Whether you're greeting the Year of the Snake or celebrating Tet, it's a sure sign that a holiday has gone charmingly cross-cultural when kindergarten classes from Bangor to Burbank parade across playgrounds waving paper dragons.
In the Bay Area, families embrace that multicultural dynamic, especially when it comes to celebratory cuisine, mingling fragrances and flavors in new ways. That's certainly true in the home of Slanted Door alum Grace Nguyen and her husband, Chad Newton, the culinary talents behind Asian Box in Palo Alto and Mountain View. Their new-wave, Asian-inspired feast offers a delicious way to celebrate this or any other holiday.
The first time the couple hosted a spread like this -- a serve-yourself extravaganza of lettuce cups, grilled meats, noodles, intriguing Asian-inspired sauces and colorful, savory condiments -- was for their wedding rehearsal dinner. It was such a hit that they've repeated the theme for celebrations of every sort, from Christmas Day feasts to more casual get-togethers for friends and family.
"Crowds love it," says Newton, who cooked at San Francisco's Postrio and the now-shuttered Baraka. "Gracie is Vietnamese, I'm just American -- and it works so well for both sides. It's a little different format for the Vietnamese, who put out spring roll wrappers and roll their own spring rolls based on what they want to put in it. My side of the family loved it because it was something kind of new for them."
Newton and Nguyen start with an all-purpose marinade that works equally well with chicken, pork, beef or tofu. The protein is grilled and sliced, so guests can tuck it into lettuce cups and amp up flavors with drizzles of tamarind vinaigrette, for example, or Nguyen's homemade vivid red chile sauce, dubbed Miss Jones' Sriracha. The couple's twist on fish sauce adds more than a dash of umami.
"You have the meat, one or two sauces, and the sky's the limit," Newton says. "That's what's fun about it. It's really healthy, and it's not even trying to be. It's mostly vegetables, grilled items with a light sauce, not a lot of gluten, not a lot of fat."
The vegetables come in the form of garnishes that put the whole thing over the top, lending color and texture to the buffet table, as well as pops of flavor for the palate -- and anything goes.
"That's the great thing about Vietnamese culture and their food," Newton says. "Do fresh mint, cilantro and Thai basil, just picked and mixed together. Toasted peanuts, fried shallots, pickled vegetables, wedges of lime on the side."
And if that description is starting to evoke the Asian Box menu, that's no surprise. That wedding rehearsal dinner inspired the restaurant's approach as well. It's fresh, exciting fare for a new life -- and a new year.

Two injured after collision between car and moped
Published: Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at 12:04 p.m.
A Highway Patrol trooper estimates an East Flat Rock woman was driving a Lincoln at about 80 mph on Highway 176 Wednesday morning when she struck a moped, launching its driver into the air shortly before she lost control and ran into a utility pole in front of the General Electric plant.
"The moped actually caught fire," Trooper Joshua Henderson said. "There were four other cars in the parking lot that were also affected by the crash, but they were all parked."
Henderson said the moped hit a parked car, caught fire and damaged three other vehicles in the parking lot, while the Lincoln struck one vehicle after hitting the utility pole. The accident, which occurred at 8:51 a.m., shut down the road for hours, with troopers rerouting motorists to Charming Point Lane. The speed limit for that stretch of road is 45 mph.
The driver of the moped, whose name had not been released as of Wednesday afternoon, was airlifted to Mission Hospital for medical treatment. The driver of the Lincoln, 61-year-old Mary Geouge, was taken to Pardee Hospital via ambulance and later released.
Henderson said the utility pole had to be replaced by Duke Energy crews.
"The wires came down, the pole collapsed," he said. "It was destroyed."
Henderson County Dispatch Supervisor Tonya Quinn said power lines, telephones and cable lines were affected. By Wednesday afternoon, Duke Energy reported zero outages in the area.
Hendersonville GE Human Resources Leader Terry Collins said he didn't see the wreck, but he heard it.
"I just heard something; it just sounded weird. The next thing I knew the police were showing up. They got here pretty quickly."
Troopers stayed at the scene for hours, where Henderson said they collected evidence. The investigation is ongoing, but Henderson said charges are pending.
"There is a history of speeders out there," Henderson said of Highway 176. "It is always safer to slow down."

Oprah Winfrey's stepmother says Winfrey is booting her out of her house.
The good news is there may be a free car under the sofa.
Barbara Winfrey, 66, told Britain's Daily Mail her famous stepdaughter is kicking her out of the house she's shared for 14 years with Oprah's dad, Vernon Winfrey, in the wake of their divorce.
"I have lost everything," Barbara Winfrey said.
I'm telling you -- look under the sofa.
"It's not just a house, this is my home. All my memories are here. I'm trying to keep it together, but there are some days I just don't understand how I could have made her so angry that she would kick me out on the street and think nothing about it. But that's Oprah -- she's judge and jury."
Barbara Winfrey says 60-year-old Oprah is taking back the Nashville home she bought for her father and stepmom in 2000 just because she can.
"It was a new home so we got to choose every part of it," she recalled of the house, which was reportedly a wedding gift.
"We signed so many documents, became part of the Housing Association. I was thankful of course. I never knew it was Oprah's name on the deeds and that I was just on probation."
It's Oprah's world -- we just live in it. Everybody knows that.
"My husband once told me that just because someone gives you something does not mean they love you. He was talking about Oprah."
I wish Oprah would show me how much she doesn't love me by buying me a house.
Barbara Winfrey says when her marriage fell apart, her ex-husband convinced Oprah to quietly get her "out of the picture" by taking back the house.
"I know people have read about this and thought, 'Who does (Barbara) think she is? Why should she get a million dollar home?'" she said.
Barbara Winfrey said Oprah never invited her over to Oprah's California home or attempted to get to know her despite being married to her father for 14 years.
"But can you see it's not about that? It's about everything that went before. Look at how she has treated me. I laid my head next to her father for 14 years and she never thought me worthy of talking to."

Ristic to begin new volleyball program at the Y
Published: Sunday, March 3, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 11:08 p.m.
West Henderson has a tradition of churning out volleyball greats, but as those players go on to coaching, it turns out the program also churns out coaching greats.
Not even out of college yet, Division-I multi-sport athlete and former West volleyball and track standout Meredith Foster Ristic has fallen in line with that tradition.
A junior at UNC Asheville, the 20-year-old starts for the Bulldog volleyball team and also high jumps for the Bulldog track and field team. She coached for Xcel Volleyball Performance Club last year and now coaches with Biltmore Volleyball Club. Oh, and her name change? She just married fellow Asheville track athlete Milan Ristic in December.
As if that wasn't enough, Ristic just accepted a position with the Henderson County YMCA as the lead volleyball coach for the Youth Development Program.
"The Y had a volleyball program for years but the person who used to run it couldn't do it anymore, and it ended about a year ago. As big of a volleyball town as Hendersonville is, there were a lot of people trying to get the program back up and running," Ristic said. "I was approached to see if any of my friends or anyone I knew could do it, but they wanted a local kid who could help them get the word out."
Ristic fits the bill. She was hired in early February.
"I've been very fortunate in that as soon as I was hired my supervisor told me that the program is mine to start and do with it what I want to do, so that's a dream come true. It's a good place to start," she said.
Charged with bringing the volleyball program back to life, Ristic has other goals that involve more than just filling the position.
"One of the Y's focuses is wanting it to be more about quality than quantity," she said. "I've coached and played for every club around this area and played for one of the better high schools in the area, so I know what coaches want and what they're looking for in players. It's for people when they get started that they can learn the right way. They can learn the right skills for whatever they want to pursue. Some kids will come and just want to mess around with their friends, and that's fine, but this is also for older kids who are trying to take their game to the next level."
She wants to start from the ground-up in helping any and every girl interested in playing volleyball learn the skills they need to be successful in playing the game.
"This isn't trying to become a club and it's not trying to interfere with that, but this is extra skill work that makes you better, maybe if you didn't make your high school or middle school team and want to improve," Ristic said. "It's for kids who aren't quite ready for the club commitment but still want to be good and play at that level."
The program will start March 12 and run eight weeks until May 2. Ristic is still in the stages of planning and spreading the word to kids ages 5 to 18. She also has plans to run some sort of summer clinic camp.
"I want everyone to have the chance to play if they want to play, to be good if they want to be good. I want to give them the information that will help them be successful in this sport," Ristic said. "Volleyball is great; I love it and have been playing it for 14 years. I can't get enough of it. And that's how I want kids to feel about it."
Ages 5 to 10 will practice once a week and ages 11 to 18 will practice twice a week. For Y members the cost of the eight-week program is $20 for the younger age group ($35 for nonmembers). It costs members $40 for the older group and $55 for nonmembers.

Dresser-Rand Benefits from Oracle Content Management Integration with Oracle E-Business Suite
By Brian Dirking on Apr 07, 2011
Tom Robinette, Director of Applications Architecture and Engineering IT at Dresser Rand spoke as part of Andy MacMillan's keynote at the info360/AIIM conference. Dresser-Rand has been working with their implementation partner Keste to integrate Oracle Content Management and Oracle E-Business Suite.
Dresser-Rand is a manufacturing company that does specifically engineered solutions. They had a number of needs that were pointing to a content management solution:
- They had numerous attachments to their ERP records and this was starting to impact Oracle EBS
- They needed document management with multiple authorcapabilites, and the ability to perform workflow for reviews and approvals
- 70% of their workforce is over 55 - they needed to capture experience through knowledge management with collaborative capability
- They needed unstructured content management within the context of an intranet portal
Because their EBS solution is hosted, by moving content into a local content management system they were able to recover over $400,000 in storage costs.
They increased the overall performance of their EBS transactions, and provided a link between their transactional records and their unstructured but related content, as well as adding robust search capability. This implementation had no impact on the end user community. Users were able to intuitively keep using EBS while the content was being rerouted underneath to their new Oracle Content Management system. And they established a new foundational capability - Content Management - which will serve their future growth plans.
Dresser-Rand wants to extend their knowledge capture capabilities to new social media tools. They find that their retiring engineers are more likely to share their knowledge as comments in an interactive flow rather than writing whole documents and articles from scratch. And fortuantely for Dresser-Rand, Oracle WebCenter Suite provides all of those social media capabilities - activity streams, blogs, wikis, expertise location - and then stores the results in Oracle Content Management, so it is categorized and easily searched. Along with the expertise of their implementation partner Keste, Dresser-Rand will be well positioned to grow and flourish.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this world, having just started messing around with some media servers to stream to my PS3.
Everything except for some video files that I have is working great. The other servers I'm running (Windows Media Connect and TwonkyMedia) do not support the codec in my Flip Video videos, which is 3ivx. I've installed the 3ivx codecs on my WHS, as well as the latest VLC (which can play the 3ivx videos). So I have confidence that the codecs are installed and working.
Just today, I installed and tried the PS3 Media Server (v1.10.51) too, but it also does not support 3ivx. All three servers give the same error when attempting to play the video files - 800288C1 - Unsupported Media.
Does the PS3 Media Server automatically find and use newly installed codecs, or only the ones that it comes with?
Any suggestions for how I can get these videos playing back on my PS3?

Harris Ross ran for 269 yards and four touchdowns as Pittsburg High walloped host Monte Vista 55-29 on Friday night in the first round of the North Coast Section Division I football playoffs.
In the rematch, the Mustangs were no match for the Pirates.
Monte Vista defeated Pittsburg 44-14 two months ago. This time the No. 9-seeded Pirates offensive line and an array of running backs battered the No. 8 Mustangs from start to finish.
Pittsburg, which ran for 427 yards and had eight rushing touchdowns, will travel to play No. 1 De La Salle on Friday in the second round.
Ross stepped in strongly for injured standout back Jamal Lockett, who limped off the field following an 8-yard run in the first quarter.
"Oh man, awesome," Pittsburg coach Victor Galli said of Ross. "He's been coming and coming. He's just a junior. I'm really excited to see what he's gonna do next year."
The Mustangs, after trailing 33-7 at halftime and 39-7 in the third quarter, scored two quick touchdowns to make a game of it. Jalen Avery scored on a 54-yard interception return, and then the Mustangs recovered an onside kick. Zack Chang cut the deficit to 39-21 on a 4-yard touchdown run.
The Pirates upped the lead to 45-21 on a game-clinching 51-yard run by Ross.
The Mustangs, who finished the season on a four-game losing streak, got another strong game from Mason Melin, who had eight receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown. Avery also scored on a 34-yard reception from Nikita Zamora, who was picked off three times.
Pittsburg rushed for 224 yards and five touchdowns in the first half. Ross had touchdown runs of 80 and 54 yards in the first half alone, and Craijon Menefee scored on runs of 1, 7 and 10 yards.
The Pirates scored on their first two possessions, then things quickly starting getting out of hand when Cameron Heath intercepted Zamora and returned it to the Mustangs' 1-yard line. Menefee scored on the next play.
Monte Vista was held to a first down on its next possession before the Pirates' Nehemiah Lopez blocked a punt.
Four plays later, the score was 26-0 on Menefee's 7-yard run. Monte Vista cut the deficit to 26-7, but the Pirates struck again on a devastating 80-yard run by Ross.
San Ramon Valley 66, Antioch 0: The host Wolves scored 42 points in the second quarter to rout Antioch in the first round of the NCS Division I playoffs.
Thirteenth-seeded Antioch (6-5) trailed just 9-0 after the first quarter, but quarterback Cameron Birse threw for 255 yards and four scores before halftime as San Ramon Valley took a 51-0 lead at the break.
The Wolves now take on the winner of Saturday's game between Castro Valley and Amador Valley in the quarterfinals next week.
"After the first quarter we just got in the flow of the game," San Ramon Valley coach Mark Kessler said. "We kinda hit the bricks in the first quarter with a turnover, but the kids battled back and did a great job."
The Wolves (6-5) did it with big plays in the air during the first half. Justin Bangay was responsible for two of those big plays, one of them a 96-yard touchdown catch early in the second quarter that made it 30-0. His only other catch was a 40-yard score.
Ryan Dunn also had two touchdowns in the first half, doing it on both sides of the ball with a 20-yard interception return and an 18-yard reception for a score.
For San Ramon Valley, which made the NCS Division I finals a year ago, it's the seventh time in the last eight years it has won at least one postseason game. The only year in that span the Wolves did not make it out of the first round was 2009, when they lost to Pittsburg in the first round of the Division I playoffs.
This was Antioch's second straight appearance in the postseason. Last year, the Panthers lost 19-13 to rival Pittsburg in the first round.

James Logan 56, Irvington 8: Warren Miles Long had a huge night as the No. 3 Colts opened the North Coast Section Division I playoffs in impressive fashion with a win over No. 14 Irvington at Tak Fudenna Stadium.
"We came out and did a tremendous job on both sides of the ball," Logan coach George Zuber said. "We wanted to give Long more reps on offense tonight and he had a phenomenal game for us."
With the win, the Colts (10-1) will host the winner of Saturday's Freedom/Berkeley game in the second round on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.
Long ran for 211 yards on just 10 carries and scored four touchdowns. He set the tone early for the Colts, scoring on a 67-yard run on Logan's first play from scrimmage just 2 minutes and 16 seconds into the game.
Quarterback Jeffrey Prothro then hit Amalani Fukofuka for touchdown strikes of 32 and 30 yards as the Colts opened up a 21-0 first quarter lead.
Fukofuka finished with six receptions for 176 yards and four touchdowns.
Irvington (4-7) broke the shutout when Mahmoud Eldesouky bulled his way from 1 yard out with 2:52 left in the game.
This was James Logan's first NCS win since 2007. The last four seasons, the Colts lost their first postseason game.
The Colts received the No. 2 seed for the Division I playoffs last season and a first-round bye but lost in the quarterfinals to San Ramon Valley.

If the Raiders hadn't been stacked at other positions, the first pure punter to have his bust bronzed in Canton, Ohio, might never have worn silver and black.
Ron Wolf, one of Al Davis' chief personnel men at the time, recalls the selection of Ray Guy with the 23rd pick of the 1973 NFL draft as difficult, mainly because guard Joe DeLamielleure of Michigan State had the look of a future Hall of Famer.
"There was a long discussion, and I'm not sure what swung it. I think more than anything else, it was about field position," said Wolf.
That discourse with Davis led to a selection of a punter out of Southern Mississippi that defied convention and, with this enshrinement class, became historic. When Guy goes into the Pro Football Hall of Fame via the veterans committee on Saturday, he will become the 22nd player in franchise history to be so honored -- and finally the league's first punter.
DeLamielleure, who went to the Buffalo Bills three picks later, first heard two years after the draft the story of being passed over for a punter (the Raiders had a future Hall of Famer at guard in Gene Upshaw). In New Orleans for the Pro Bowl, DeLamielleure and his wife entered a packed restaurant and saw Davis, who was dining with his wife, Carole.
Davis motioned for DeLamielleure to stop by the table, and told him how he almost became a Raider.
If Davis was hoping to get a rise out of DeLamielleure, he instead got validation.
"I said, 'Mr. Davis, you made the right choice,' " DeLamielleure said when contacted by phone this week. "I said, 'You'll never see a right guard win a game, but I saw Ray Guy win a lot of games for you. Good pick.' "
Former Raiders coach John Madden remembers Guy's selection as a slam dunk.
"That was our opportunity to get the best player at his position, and not only that, but the best player ever at his position," Madden said. "We didn't have one person against that."
The draft selection came as a shock to Guy, who was recovering from a foot injury and hadn't heard anything from the Raiders until the club dispatched scout Ken LaRue to Hattiesburg, Miss., for a visit three days before the draft.
"That was the first time I knew the Raiders were interested in me," said Guy, who was also a standout free safety and hoped to continue playing defense in the NFL.
At his first training camp in Santa Rosa, Guy got off several punts before Madden tried to shut him down in order to keep him fresh. Guy replied he was only warming up. Then the real show began.
"I had never heard anything like the sound and never seen anything like the height and distance," Madden said. "It's like when a guy hits a golf ball and it sounds different than yours. His ball sounded different."
The first time Guy stepped on the field in the defensive backfield at a Raiders practice, Madden ordered him to the sidelines, unwilling to risk such an explosive right leg when he already had Jack Tatum, George Atkinson and Charles Phillips at safety.
Having handled all the punting and kicking duties at Southern Miss in addition to intercepting 18 passes in three years as a safety, Guy conceded in a conference call that being a specialist was a difficult adjustment.
"I had to get that mentality of being a starting safety and hitting people out of my mind and then focus on being a punter," Guy said.
Guy desperately wanted teammates to know he was a football player in every sense.
"I know a lot of them were thinking, 'What is Al doing? He drafted a punter as the No. 1 draft choice? How is that going to help?' " Guy said. "After the first day, it was obvious I was more than a punter. I was a team player in every sense."
When Guy was selected, Atkinson said, "We're like, 'What's with that pick?' First-round draft picks were skill position guys, pass rushers or linemen."
Then Atkinson dropped back for the first time to field a Guy punt, and felt different.
"I'd caught all the best punters in the NFL, and his were harder to handle because they fell harder and with more force," Atkinson said.
Hall of Fame cornerback Willie Brown assumed Guy was selected as a safety who would also do the punting.
"But once I saw him punt, I thought, 'Oh, boy, we've got another weapon,' " Brown said. "We knew the opponent would always be on the other side of the 50-yard line, and there was a good chance they'd be back at the 10 or 15."
Despite being a finalist seven times as a modern era candidate for the Hall of Fame, Guy was never elected. Last August, he was a seniors nominee, and he was elected Feb. 1.
DeLamielleure, voted into the Hall of Fame in 2003, spoke on Guy's behalf last August to the seniors committee.
"I didn't have a vote, but I talked to the voters about why he should be in," DeLamielleure said. "He got picked before me, and he should have been in the Hall of Fame before me."

Scripture: 2Corinthians 4:10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. (NIV)
Observation: Here is the purpose of our physical bodies. They are to reveal the life of Jesus. As we die to our desires, we become alive to His desires and our body becomes an avenue to express His life rather than ours. Many times it is the difficult things we experience that get the attention of others. They too experience difficulties and they respond in anger, frustration, etc. When we face the same troubles and respond differently, they become aware that we have a something different in our life.
Application: The life of Jesus will be seen in me as I respond in the same way He would respond to the circumstances surrounding me. If I depend on myself, I will fail. But if I follow His lead, He will help me succeed. It is not what happens to be, but how I follow Him in responding to what happens to me.
Prayer: Lord, it is obvious to me that I need you! Speak to me, as only You know how, and direct my responses today. Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

Elements Combined
Graham Dougherty and Lynda Johnson
DCCA Studio Artists Graham Dougherty and Lynda Johnson's exhibition titled "Elements Combined" is a true amalgamation of two artists' approaches and techniques synthesized into finished artworks. The two artists worked together on each of four panels integrating techniques, artistic vision, and approach. The work of Dougherty is architectural in nature, and structured in technique. Johnson's method is organic in nature and embraces spontaneous discoveries as the encaustic process unfolds. The combination of these two artists' different approaches utilizing Dougherty's oil painting techniques and Johnson's encaustic process results in a building up of layers over time. Each artist took turns with the panel as the layers developed. The process created a completely different result than either artist had previously anticipated and challenged the artists' artistic tendencies. Dougherty released control and allowed for the blurred lines and fluid, more spontaneous merging of architecture and process. Johnson's challenge was to heed Dougherty's structural approach and control the encaustic process, more than she had previously.
About Graham Dougherty:
"We give shape to our rooms; then rooms give shape to our lives. We pass through rooms unseeing; walls, floors, ceilings, doorways become unnoticed, accepted, ordinary. It is light, which transforms the commonplace pragmatic shelter into a metaphor of remembered or desired sensations."
About Lynda Johnson:
Artist Lynda Johnson's own work in the exhibition is different in approach than her earlier pieces. Where as previously Johnson was building up layer after layer with her encaustic process, she decided to approach some earlier work that had been emerging over a period of years that was still un-resolved. What started as pieces with up to ten layers of built up textures, shapes, and color now was being scraped away removing the original composition and exposing the "inner-core" of the work. The layers built up over years are obscured emotions that are now revealed. The process was still organic in nature and decidedly spontaneous as always. By leaving only glimpses of the original composition, Johnson invites the viewer to take a look at the exposed panels and subsequently at the exposed layers of feelings and emotions that the artist conveys.Encaustic panels by Lynda Johnson
The four panels that Dougherty and Johnson created in collaboration are available for purchase. The proceeds will be donated to the DCCA Studio artists group for their gallery upkeep supplies.

OAKLAND -- The enduring image of a 21-18 win by the Raiders over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday came in the first 19 seconds.
That's how long it took Terrelle Pryor to rewrite franchise and NFL record books with a 93-yard touchdown run at O.co Coliseum.
Some of the crowd of 52,950 were still settling into their seats when Pryor became the author of the longest run in Raiders history, surpassing Bo Jackson (92 yards against Cincinnati in 1989) and the longest by a quarterback in league history (80 yards by Pittsburgh's Kordell Stewart in 1996).
"He's like a dad-gum gazelle out there," right guard Mike Brisiel said.
A lot else had to happen in the final 59:41 for the Raiders to improve to 3-4. The Raiders went into the half with a 21-3 halftime lead and ended up needing to recover an onside kick as well as stop the Steelers one final time after Oakland's offense went stagnant in the second half.
As pleased as coach Dennis Allen was with the win, there was a hint of exasperation in his voice when discussing an interception directly off the hands of wide receiver Brice Butler and a fumble deep in Raiders territory by Jacoby Ford that could have cost the Raiders dearly.
"You're giving them an opportunity to get back in the game, and you can't do that," Allen said. "Good football teams, they don't do that. ... What I'm going to visit with our guys about is you have to understand what wins and loses in this game."
After Pryor's electrifying opening act, the Raiders got touchdown runs of 7 and 4 yards by Darren McFadden, with the Steelers managing a 47-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham before the half.
Suisham would later miss his first two field goals of the season, from distances of 34 and 32 yards, which would come back to haunt the Steelers as Oakland snapped a 10-game losing streak after bye weeks.
Pittsburgh, which came in having won its last two games, fell to 2-5 with its third consecutive loss in Oakland.
"We allowed them to control and dictate the flow of the game and how we started really in all three phases," Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said. "The first 30 minutes of football were poor on our part."
In the fourth quarter, Pittsburgh got the Raiders nervous with a 9-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Emmanuel Sanders and a 2-yard run by Le'Veon Bell with 1:24 to play, followed by Sanders' run on a two-point conversion.
The Raiders defense held up heroically while the offense sputtered in the second half. Oakland managed only one first down in the second half -- an 18-yard slant pass from Pryor to Denarius Moore when backed up against its own end zone.
After rushing for 182 yards in the first half, the Raiders had 13 rushes for 15 yards in the second half. McFadden finished with 73 yards on 24 carries, with 56 yards coming on 13 first-half rushes. The Raiders had 35 yards of total offense in the second half.
Mike Jenkins and Tracy Porter had interceptions against Roethlisberger (Porter's play was originally ruled a fumble recover but changed in the game book), and the Steelers never could mount any kind of a running game (19 carries, 35 yards).
Roethlisberger put up much of his stats (29 of 45 for 275 yards) in the second half while working with a deficit, was sacked five times (twice by linebacker Sio Moore) and at times had difficulty finding open receivers.
"The important thing was for the most part when we got our hands on Ben, we got him down," safety Charles Woodson said.
Pryor, who ended the game completing 10 of 19 passes for 88 yards with two interceptions, called it "a team win, whether we play great or the defense plays great. I think we had a phenomenal first half, and the defense had a phenomenal second half."
Tomlin's big mistake may have been electing to put his defense on the field to start to game after the Steelers won the coin toss.
"Obviously we can't choose to defer a kickoff and allow them to explode, spotting them seven on the first play of the game," Tomlin said.
Jennings comes up big
on special teams.

The Lake Dillon Theatre Company announced its 2013 season at a party for season subscribers and donors on Thursday.
"Patrons can expect an exciting variety of professional theater programming in our upcoming season, with 'something for everyone' including a Tony-winning thriller, a renowned American comedy, a world premiere family musical, a classic farce and much more," executive director Joshua Blanchard said.
The season features seven main stage productions, starting with the "Sleuth" by Anthony Shaffer, which opens on January 17.
Described as "incredibly entertaining" by producing artistic director Christopher Alleman, "Sleuth" is a widely-produced mystery thriller that earned a Tony for Best Play.
Next summer, audiences can look forward to an adaptation of the 200-year-old farce, "Scapin," by Bill Irwin, who "puts a contemporary relevance to the classic," Alleman said, describing Irwin as "the master of physical comedy." The show runs July 5 to Aug. 2.
For the company's annual original children's musical, Alleman, Blanchard and music director Jonathan Parks present "Golden," the "true story of what really happened" when the Bear family returns home to the "mischief-maker" Goldie in their home. The musical runs June 28 to Aug. 2.
Other 2013 productions include "The Sunshine Boys" by Neil Simon (Mar. 7-31), "And the World Goes Round" by John Kander and Fred Ebb (July 18-Aug. 18), "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Bill Manoff (Aug. 30-Sept. 22) and "Don't Dress for Dinner" by Marc Camelotii (Aug. 30-Sept. 22).
"Theatergoers can expect exciting, high-quality theater in an intimate setting that engages audiences in ways that cannot be experienced elsewhere," Blanchard said.
The Lake Dillon Theatre recently received approval on an eight-year strategic plan that will center on six core values as the organization moves forward.
"Quality is one of the main core values," Alleman said. "It's what's come to define us as an organization. We're really excited about how this year will spring us into action on our strategic plan."
Additional programming for the upcoming year include the theater's fifth annual New York City trip, in which 30 patrons spend three nights in the city to see four shows, three Broadway and one off-Broadway. A trip to the Utah Shakespeare Festival, new this year, is scheduled for June, 2013. The theater also announced plans for expanded educational opportunities for adults and students.
"As always, we're excited about everything we do," Alleman said. "Every year we say it's the most exciting season we'll have. I think that's good. If an organization can say that every year, it means you're doing something special."

ALAMEDA — Second-year offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom finally has a home, at left guard, after spending most of his rookie season bouncing around from guard to offensive tackle, from the left side of the line to the right, sometimes all in one day.
Bergstrom was Oakland's top draft pick in 2012, selected late in the third round. With veterans entrenched at guard and tackle, Bergstrom worked at multiple positions in an attempt to become more versatile and thereby more valuable as a backup.
Now that veteran Cooper Carlisle is gone, Bergstrom is the leading candidate to start at left guard, though he is being pushed by fellow second-year player Lucas Nix.
Bergstrom said it's "nice" knowing where's he's going to line up each day. He also finds comfort in the playing time he received as a backup last season.
"I was going in last year just hoping not to screw up," Bergstrom said Tuesday. "This year, the idea is going in with a little more confidence, ready to play. That's kind of the next step after being able to play a little bit. So, it was a big opportunity last year."
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said the starting spot at left guard, as is the case with all positions, is open to competition. However, it's Bergstrom that is spending a majority of the time with the first-team offensive line right now.
"That's a big deal, a big motivating factor, coming in knowing there's a spot that's open and being competed for," Bergstrom said. "That's kind of the nice thing about it this year, with that goal in mind, as opposed to coming in and telling you 'Well, you might need to play a little tackle, so be ready for that.' It's 'know the guard and be ready for guard.' "

SEATTLE -- A tired A's team found enough left in the tank to pull out a 4-1 win over the Seattle Mariners in the series finale Sunday, getting to the All-Star break with a major league-best 59-36 record.
A little gassed after playing 17 consecutive days, the A's rallied behind 10-game winner Sonny Gray, who held the Mariners to one unearned first-inning run.
Talking before the game, manager Bob Melvin said the club had not been at top form of late, but the A's have little to complain about. They come into the All-Star break with a 1½-game lead in the American League West while being chased by the hottest team in the game, the Angels, who have won 19 of their last 23.
"Before the game, you know how important it is," Gray said. "After losing the first two here and heading into the break, I was going to do my best to help us win."
Gray's numbers -- 10-3, 2.79 ERA -- are such that he could have been an All-Star pick. He isn't, but seven of his teammates flew to Minneapolis on Sunday night for the midseason party.
"I'm not disappointed," Gray said of not being selected. "It would have been nice, sure, but we've got a lot of good, deserving people representing our club. It's nothing bad to dwell on."
The A's left Seattle, scattering for points across the continent. As they did so, they had a chance to dwell on some amazing numbers for a team that lost two of its five starting pitchers in spring training.
Oakland has won more games (59) before the break than any team in franchise history. The A's offense leads the majors in walks, is second in runs scored and has the fourth-fewest strikeouts. Oakland pitching has allowed one run or less in seven of its last 11 games and in 27 of 95 games overall. The team ERA of 3.09 is second-best in the big leagues.
The combination of offensive output and pitching stinginess has led to the A's having a run differential of plus-145, the fourth-best performance by any major league team in that category at the All-Star break dating to 1940. The previous best for any A's club was plus-95 in 1973.
"When you put it into perspective," Melvin said, "overall the numbers suggest we've had a pretty good first half."
Brandon Moss, whose 21st homer provided the third A's run, said the first half saw Oakland have "a lot of guys step up."
Moss wasn't just talking about the 3-4-5 guys in the batting order, Moss, Yoenis Cespedes and Josh Donaldson, All-Stars all, who combined for 55 homers and 187 RBIs in the first 95 games. He was talking about contributors such as Nick Punto, who capped Sunday's scoring with his second homer in the ninth inning, and newly recalled Andy Parrino, who had a double, a single, a walk and who scored the go-ahead run in the fifth on John Jaso's double. Parrino was playing left field, a position he hadn't played in two years.
"We've had a bunch of guys who have seized their opportunity," Moss said.
In addition to Moss, Cespedes and Donaldson, catcher Derek Norris and pitchers Scott Kazmir, Jeff Samardzija and Sean Doolittle will go to the All-Star game.
While the rest of the club gets the full four days off, Melvin will be watching the game and the Home Run Derby in particular, with a bit of cautious dread. He doesn't want to see either of the A's entrants, defending champ Cespedes or Donaldson, get hurt or even get worn out trying to jack the ball out of Target Field.
"I will follow it," Melvin said. "It makes you a little nervous. I feel good for the guys. I hope they all come back in one piece."

Tryon woman faces insurance fraud charges
Published: Monday, February 3, 2014 at 1:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 3, 2014 at 1:37 p.m.
A Tryon woman is facing felony fraud charges after investigators say she tried to cheat her insurance company by claiming her car was damaged in a collision with a deer. In fact, the car was damaged in a 2013 hit-and-run accident, investigators said.
Shawnda Janae Pack, 20, of 601 E. Howard St. has been charged with one felony count each of insurance fraud and attempting to obtain property by false pretense, according to a news release from state Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin Monday.
Department of Insurance criminal investigators allege that on Jan. 8, Pack filed a fraudulent insurance claim with GEICO for damage to her vehicle from a collision with a deer one day earlier. Investigators claim the same damage had been documented as the result of a January 2013 accident in which Pack was arrested for reckless driving and hit and run, according to the release.
Pack was arrested with the assistance of the Tryon Police Department on Jan. 31 and placed in the Polk County Jail under a $16,000 bond.
The Department of Insurance employs 20 sworn state law enforcement officers dedicated to investigating and prosecuting claims of insurance and bail bonding fraud. Since Goodwin took office in 2009, criminal investigators have made more than 800 arrests, resulting in more than 430 criminal convictions. These efforts have delivered more than $55 million in restitution and recoveries for victims, according to the release.
An estimated 10 cents of every dollar paid in premiums goes toward the payment of fraudulent claims. To report suspected fraud, contact the Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840. Callers may remain anonymous. Information is also available at www.ncdoi.com.

A Runabout Designed to Satisfy the Water Lover
If you're in the market for a family runabout, then you need to take a look at what Baja Marine brings to the market. Their 'Water Adventure Vehicle Series' of boats exhibit bold and innovative concepts for the water loving consumer. We had the opportunity to test their mid-sized entry into the market, the 242 Islander, and this is what we found.
At 25 feet, 10 inches, the Islander is a good sized boat to start with. The Baja designers utilized every inch of space to build a boat that makes you feel like you're in the cockpit of a large express cruiser. Starting forward, you will notice that the signature bow is not like your ordinary bowrider configuration. The walk-through is on the port side, this provides space to have a love seat with a wraparound seat and a chaise lounge. This is the best seat in the house because two people can stretch out and soak up the sun or enjoy the ride while blasting about the lake. There are plenty of cup holders up here and lots of storage too. A small table is available for the bow, as is a filler cushion that converts the bow into a big sun pad.
Moving aft, we transition through the offset wraparound windshield. The molded, console walk-through door doubles as the cabin door when in the open position. By using this offset console configuration, Baja was able to use the space underneath the helm to provide a small cabin. When I say it is a small cabin, I should probably call it a large head. Either way, there is plenty of room for the porta-potti and for changing into your swim gear.
With a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, the 242 Islander has a roomy cockpit. Drop bottom bolster seats are at the helm, while an aft bench makes up the seating in the rear. The helm layout is like all the other Baja models, functional and easy to use. Faria gauges and Kiekhaefer controls are complimented by the custom steering wheel. To port is the companion seat with access to the marine grade Clarion CD stereo and a large glove box.
At the stern, you have two choices of deck configurations. First is your typical performance boat layout, with a beam width aft bench seat and large engine hatch sun pad. Or, you can opt for the dual transom access version that has a narrower bench seat in the center. Which ever way you go, the 242 incorporates a large swim platform with a recessed swim ladder to make re-boarding a breeze.
The V-bottom hull and end-grain balsa construction provide a solid, comfortable ride. Getting up on plane was quick at only 4 seconds. At wide-open throttle, we recorded a respectable top speed of 58 mph. These numbers were achieved with the optional MerCruiser 496 HO Magnum engine that puts out 425 horsepower at the prop. The standard engine is the MerCruiser 496, which delivers 375 horsepower. This boat weighs in at just under 5,000 pounds, so I would go with the HO engine.
Once you have the opportunity to look at the 242 Islander, you'll appreciate her smooth flowing lines and colorful graphic options. Baja has done a great job with design functionality and aesthetic appeal. The family runabout market is a tough field with so many competitors and too many choices. But Baja has set themselves apart from all the rest by producing something totally different and very satisfying to the eyes and to your speed gene.

Heavy rain sparks widespread flooding
Published: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 12:22 a.m.
Storms dumped more than 6 inches of rain Friday on some parts of Terrebonne and Lafourche, causing widespread street flooding.

National Weather Service forecasters said residents can expect more rain and storms early today before clearing around 4 this evening.
Both parishes will remain under a flash-flood watch through this evening.
Two storms striking about seven hours apart caused wind and water damage to a few homes while leaving many streets closed for hours Friday.
"It didn't sound like a choo-choo train they say a tornado sounds like, but it was some heavy wind and heavy rain," said Houma resident Dan Bonvillain.
Bonvillain said the winds ripped an awning from his home scattering pieces of it on power lines and across the neighborhood. He said the winds were strong enough to lift a cemented aluminum pipe from the ground, sending it crashing through his neighbors' roof.
"It must have been strong because it had to fly way up high and come down through the roof, the ceiling and land on the floor of the dining room," he said.
Emergency directors for both parishes said there had been a few instances of house flooding and wind damage but no injuries.
One Lockport resident did receive precautionary medical attention after a tree fell on a house trailer, according to Lafourche Emergency Operations Director Chris Boudreaux.
There were two reports of homes taking water in Lafourche Parish outside Thibodaux. City officials said "a few" homes had some water damage and there was also wind damage reported on some properties, according to Thibodaux Police Spokesman David Melancon.
In Terrebonne, Emergency Operations Director Earl Eues said one man had reported water in his home and one shed was reported blown over.
"Looks like we came out of it pretty good, considering," Eues said.
The most widely faced problem was street flooding.
In Thibodaux, police had to shut down a portion of Canal Boulevard due to high water.
"My car is on cement and it is almost to the middle of my rim on my car," said Raymona Falcon, who lives on Bently Drive in Thibodaux.
Falcon said she began seeing rain from the first storm about 6:30 a.m. An hour later, she said, the water was too high for her to leave to take her kids to school.
"It's a problem back here even when just a little rain comes through," she said.
Some parts of northern Lafourche reported up 6 1/2 inches of rain Friday, according to National Weather Service Forecaster Phil Grigsby.
Eues said portions of northern Terrebonne also reported 6 inches of rain. Terrebonne also saw winds gusting at 35 mph. Gusts of 39 mph were reported at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, according to Lafourche Parish spokesman Logan Banks.
About 20 Entergy customers were without power at 8 p.m. Friday.
Grigsby said residents can expect more rain and the potential for more severe storms until mid-afternoon today.

Dear Eartha:
I read about your Master Mountain Composter program. Is backyard composting even possible at our elevation?
- Jennelle, Silverthorne
Yes! Compost happens even in the High Country! It occurs naturally in our surrounding forests and also in our backyards with a little bit of elbow grease and warm weather. Composting is essentially the process of farming beneficial microbes. That's right! You provide the shelter, food, water and air to millions of tiny creatures that in return, give you compost.
Keeping your pet microbes healthy and happy is the key to a successful compost bin. So what exactly do they need to work their magic? First of all, the foundation of any compost pile is sustenance (also known as "feedstocks"). You've got your nitrogen ("the greens") which acts as the protein for the bugs and you've also got your carbon ("the browns") which provide the energy and food. You need both for your population of microbes to survive. Even though the rule of thumb for composting is a carbon to nitrogen ration of 30:1, there's actually a scientific formula for these ratios for every living thing.
I like to tell people that composters are either artists or scientists (sometimes a little bit of both). Some compost enthusiasts throw their masterpiece together in no particular order, creating piles of disorder built on paper egg cartons and shells, buckets of food waste, a pinch of sawdust and a heaping armful of dead leaves. Every addition is a different recipe with no calculation or thought. These artists may actively create compost in a matter of weeks or passively in two years.
The compost scientists systematically calculate everything they add; layer nitrogen and carbon to the square inch; and try to meet the 30:1 rule as if their life depended on it. They may create recipes and models for other composters to use. They may create the most nutritious soil known to mankind. Or they may fail miserably. We are talking about controlling nature, which can be a little unpredictable.
A happy medium of compost artist and compost scientist will leave you with about a 50:50 mix of greens and browns. Your greens may include fruit scraps, grass clippings, chicken manure, coffee grounds and dog hair. Your browns can be a mix of seed-free straw, dryer lint and paper towels. Once you have the microbes' food in order, you can layer or mix away. It's nice to have a bin (wood, plastic, tumbler, hand-built ...) to contain the pile. It helps combat the wind and dry factor that threatens every Colorado compost heap.
The next steps take us back to the microbes - your pets. What does every living creature need to survive? You got it - food (check!), shelter (check!), water and air. Air is pretty easy. All compost bins, whether purchased or produced, need air holes. Most often, there is too much ventilation which supports a very dry environment. So, consider using insulation or tarps to control air flow and wind.
Two other things can affect air flow - surface area of the feedstocks and mixing. Chopping the feedstocks can help your creatures quickly break down food particles into soil. However, over-chopping can foster compaction which eliminates air flow and causes the "trash" smell. Diversify your feedstocks by keeping a range of sizes (big and small).
Mixing is important for both air flow and moisture control. I like to water my compost bin like I water my garden. The microbes need the moisture to survive. Once your soil is dry, the microbes die off or scatter. When you add water, be sure to mix so the moisture is transferred throughout the pile. Remember not to over mix (more than every three days) or you'll drive your microbes crazy and they'll never get anything done.
I'll be honest, unless you are actively composting and adding hot ingredients to your bin, it will take at least a couple months to get a finished product. If you are a lazy composter (like myself), compost can take years. If you don't think you're up to the challenge, there is a residential compost drop-off program at the Frisco Recycling Center. You can sign up for as little as $10 a month and compost bones, dairy and meat products, which are not recommended for backyard programs.
For those that want to learn more about composting such as hot composting, vermiculture (worms!), composting in bear country and winter composting, sign up for the Master Mountain Composter program. MMC starts April 16 through April 25, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7 p.m. at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge. Drop-ins are welcome to attend for $20 a class. Please RSVP.

Road Trip:
Fiber Fields Alpaca Farm
Fiber Fields Alpaca Farm is an easy day trip from Portland, Maine, or even the Boston area if you get an early start.
Driving up the Maine coast along Route 1, you'll pass Bath (home of Halcyon Yarn), the scenic village of Wiscasset, and Damariscotta (home of Pine Tree Yarns).
The road leading to Fiber Fields Alpacas takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside in New England. I envy the animal that gets to grow up in such a setting.
At the Farm
Run by two dynamic and charming individuals, Dawn and John Brooker, the farm is tucked down a winding dirt road, set in a sunny clearing in the woods. Although the business is doing well, both Dawn and John are still reluctant to give up their "other" jobs: Dawn is a part-time dental hygenist, John is an electrician.
A Dream Come True
Raising alpacas is a dream they hatched together over five years ago. "We wanted a business that would support us both. We knew we wanted to raise animals, but we weren't sure what type," Dawn explained.
"We wanted animals that didn't need a lot of acreage, that either John or I could handle alone, that weren't always at the vet, and that wouldn't challenge the fences." She added, "Plus we didn't want to enter a market that was already saturated."
"They're wonderful animals, they're easy to care for, and I really liked that we wouldn't have to sell them for food. Plus, the alpaca market isn't yet saturated. In fact there are only about 25,000 alpacas in the United States."
Let the Work Begin
Once set on raising alpacas, they spent a year researching the animals and setting up their farm. John singlehandedly cleared all the woods for pastures.
Dawn's mother was also at the farm the day I visited and gave her perspective on her daughter's venture. "I really did think they were crazy at first," she laughed.
"Alpaca? What in the world is that? But once I started coming over and spending time with them, I was hooked." Dawn and John have established a support network of neighbors, friends, and family to keep an eye on the animals when they're away at work.
The First Family
They started their alpaca family with four females so they could keep the bloodlines open (breeding them with other males instead of only one). Today, as they enter their fourth year of operation, they have 15 male and female alpacas and one llama, who serves as a guard animal.
Ironically, the llama is the only one they've had to worry about. Apparently he has a tendency to get loose and run through the neighborhood.
The Latest Addition
While we were talking, I kept being distracted by an adorable two-and-a-half-week-old chia named "El Regalo" who was clumsily stumbling around trying to get his mother's attention. Alpacas have a gestation period of 11 1/2 months, making new arrivals a big event.
The Send-Off
Both Dawn and John are extremely careful about who buys their animals. "I absolutely won't sell one of my alpacas at a fair or show," Dawn told me. "Usually we'll have met with the person several times, and ideally I've even visited their farm to check out their setup."
They offter two types of alpacas: breeding stock and fiber stock. Breeding stock come from award-winning bloodlines and possess all the ideal breed traits -- and as you'd imagine, they come at a premium.
The rest of the gang are classified as fiber stock, or "pet-quality" alpacas. Not fit for breeding, they're less expensive and provide wonderful fiber, not to mention companionship.
Raw Materials
Fiber Fields Alpaca also sells raw and prepared fleece as well as spun yarns. The colors range from white to grey to chocolate brown, depending on the color of the animal from which the fiber was shorn.
During my visit I acquired a batch of luscious grey alpaca for a fitted cable/moss-stitch vest pattern created for Dawn by a local designer. She also offers a particularly nice two-ply alpaca that's a blend of white and brown.
Learn more by visiting the Fiber Fields Alpaca Web site.

ief ostahtah Charlo VOLUME 6 NUMBER 22 FULL MOON OF THE GOOSE FLIGHT MARCH 15, 1977 Mission Wilderderness Area Topic of District Meeting The March 15 district meeting in St. Ignatius had supposedly been called to hear concerns about proposed visible clearcuts to control mistletoe. The cuts would be in upcoming sales in the three St. Mary's Units south of St. Ignatius along Pistol Creek Ridge. At least half the meeting, which ran until about 11:00 p.m., heard complaints that people did not want the face of the Mission Mountains logged in the same manner other reservation sales had been handled. Most of those speaking did not want any logging along the Mission face. Of the approximately 200 people there, outside the Council and Foresters, only Leonard Pierce, a logging contractor, spoke out in favor of present BIA practices. He testified that through personal experience penalties are exacted for poor practices. He stated he had violated some of the contract provisions and was caught by the BIA, and was even shut down on three occasions this last winter. TRIBE MAY CONTRACT IRRIGATION PROJECT All three Irrigation District Boards for Flathead Irrigation Project are opposing the idea of any contract by the Tribes to run the program which is now under the BIA. The Flathead Irrigation District Water Board has asked Washington, D.C. lawyers to investigate what can be done to stop a tribal takeover. That is what Poison's Flathead Courier reported when Bob McConkey, Flathead District Commissioner, addressed a district meeting. The Board believes the districts are buying the project under federal contract. (Former Councilman, R. Louis Dupuis, refutes this in his letter elsewhere in this issue). When contracted by the Char-Koosta, Project Director George Moon noted that all that has happened so far has been a request by the Tribes for technical assistance. He said that any actual contract proposals to his office "will get full cooperation. --No if, and, but - or sideways!" The Tribes have requested technical assistance in contracting the project under the Self-Determination Act PL 93-638, since they feel they have never received proper payment for the land used and they also happen to own the water. While the Council would make no sudden, drastic changes in administration they would apply for funds to update the system, although this probably would not include lining canals or changes in reservoirs. The application may look at further tapping Flathead River for irrigation. Area covered by the project is in the neighborhood of 122,000 acres. In spite of the fact it is administered by BIA it is estimated that less than 10% of the people currently served by the project are tribal members. NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND D'ORIELLES AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD RESERVATION Doug Allard, of St. Ignatius, is gathering a petition to create a wilderness area above "A" canal. This includes a more extensive area than is being proposed under a University of Montana wilderness study currently being done for the council, which sets boundaries higher, above most commercial timber. Allard referred to the meeting as a "snow job" and insisted logging practices would not change. He calculated that cutting the Missions would earn each member about fifteen cents a day. On the St. Mary's sales, most people simply had questions on the necessity of clearcut to control mistletoe. Thurman Trosper, a former U.S. Forestry Department employee, said he had no quarrel with proposed timber management of the St. Mary's sales. He did voice concern on wildlife management and the effects of continuous selective cutting areas on big game. John Dibble, BIA Forester, indicated that on the first two sales, what they thought were critical elk areas were primarily outside the units. There is no present plan to modify cuts to provide cover areas. He said plans have not been formed yet for the St. Mary's East unit where a critical elk winter range is entirely within sale boundaries. The plans aind infor sale boundaries. The plans and information used were prepared prior to the arrival of Bob Klaver, wildlife biologist. Klaver will have input into the St. Mary's West before it goes up for sale in 1980. Chairman Harold Mitchell Jr. said the meeting was for information gathering only. He ruled out a call for Council action on a referendum election. Councilman Joe McDonald suggested that circulating a petition would give people a chance to become informed before they vote. The Char-Koosta will be able to include more on the meeting and related items in the next issue.

The Bandito is sand-rail in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Bandito is designed as a single occupant sand rail with a relatively simple construction. The Bandito's body and chassis consists of formed and welded metal tubing. Its driver compartment, engine and other mechanical components are exposed; lights and windscreen are also added. Being stripped down to the bare essentials, the Bandito also lacks a radio.
The performance of the Bandito is comparably better than that of a BF Injection, a similar dune buggy, as the Bandito is not susceptible to spinouts due to a more balanced chassis and longer length. Its soft suspensions and off-road tires allow the vehicle to traverse rough terrain and sand with no problem, and its speed is considerably above average. On the bad side, the Bandito can't hold that much damage and will catch on fire in about 3 full-speed smashes to a wall. The vehicle is also bottom-heavy and wider at the bottom, reducing the risk of the vehicle resting on its top. Oddly enough, it sounds just like an FCR-900.
Prominent Appearances in Missions
- Interdiction - In Las Brujas, Carl has to choose between a Bandito, a Quad or a Sanchez to climb the hill and protect the helicopter.
Notable Owners
- Spawns in front of Helena Wankstein's home in Flint Range, Flint County if you date her.
- Found at a beach west of the San Fierro City Hall in San Fierro.
- May be used in the mission Interdiction for Mike Toreno
- Used in the chase to kill Eddie Pulaski during High Noon.
- Used in one of the San Fierro Street Races, namely "Bandito Country".
- Importable from the Exports and Imports dock at Easter Basin, San Fierro every Tuesday after completing export lists. Cost: $12,000.
- Bandito is Italian for "Bandit".
- During the San Fierro Street Race "Bandito Country", the Bandito driven by Carl actually has a radio equipped; even though it is not present visually. This may be the only Bandito in the game to ever have a radio equipped.
- The Bandito looks like the cars from the Smuggler's Run series developed by Angel Studios (now known as Rockstar San Diego).
- If the player activates the health cheat while driving a Bandito, the belt wheel on the engine will become perpendicular with its normal rotation position. This will also occur of the player drives the vehicle into a Pay 'n' Spray.
- There are no steering arms attached to the front wheels of the buggy, which in theory means that it is impossible for the Bandito to steer. This logic is, however, ignored in-game.

Strong Run Ends Early for Mike Conway and ABC Supply Team in St. Petersburg
ST. PETERSBURG, FL Mar 25, 2012—Mike Conway's strong run in the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg ended in pit lane as the gearbox broke on the ABC Supply Dallara/Honda in the IZOD IndyCar Series season opener.
"Things were going good and then we had a bad pit stop that set us back a few positions," said Conway. "After that we just tried to stay out of trouble. The car had pretty good pace on the blacks but we struggled on the red tires. Then I lost 3rd gear and then 4th and it was a struggle to stay out of people's way so I pulled in. It's too bad because everyone on the ABC Supply team did a good job this weekend. We just have to keep learning about this car and keep pushing. We'll get there."
Conway qualified 12th but started 11th when Simon Pagenaud's team was assessed a 10-spot grid penalty because of an unscheduled engine change prior to qualifying yesterday. Running quickest in the final warm-up on race morning, Conway gave the nearly 600 ABC Supply guests on hand something to talk about.

Soccer Equipment & Gear

Dribble, Pass & Shoot with Soccer Equipment
While the origin of soccer dates all the way back to the third century BC, England popularized �The Beautiful Game� in the early 1860�s. In 1863, British representatives from clubs and schools established the fundamental rules of today�s modern game and founded the Football Association. Thanks to British sailors, traders and soldiers, the sport spread globally throughout the late 1800s. From Argentina to Uruguay, players like Diego Maradona and Enzo Francescoli made history, setting the highest standards for the way soccer is played today. While many of the rules of football drawn up in 1863 have changed over time, the fundamental rules have remained the same.
Come game time, 11 players from both teams step onto the field (or, �pitch� as it�s known in Europe and Australia). Soccer holds four main positions: goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and forwards. With the exception of the goalkeeper within his penalty box, all players must refrain from using any part of their arms or hands. A player�s head, chest, back, legs, and of course feet, are all fair game. The goalkeeper�s responsibility is to stop the opposing team from scoring in the goal. Crowned International Federation of Football History & Statistics Goalkeeper of the Year four times, Real Madrid�s Iker Casillas is one of the top soccer goalkeepers today. Like Casillas, the best goalkeepers demonstrate leadership, remain calm under pressure and react quickly to loose and incoming shots. A skilled goalkeeper can assess when to stay and defend their goal or leave the penalty box to assist the team in an offensive attack.
A team�s defenders act as a goalkeeper�s primary line of defense against opponents. Paris Saint-German F.C. is known for having one of the best central defenders in the world, Thiago Silva. Silva excels as a defender by knowing how to read the game and successfully steal possession from opposing players. The right and left defenders tend to be smaller in stature than other players, but what they lack in size they make up for in agility and strength. Supporting the midfielders, the right and left defenders shut down attacks coming down the sides and work on transitioning the soccer ball forward.
Midfielders get the most exercise of all positions on the field, as this position shares the responsibilities of the defenders and forwards. As dual-players, successful midfielders hold control of the middle of the field by creating a link between the defense and offense. Chelsea�s Eden Hazard is undisputedly one of the top midfielders to ever play the game. With a high level of technical ability in passing and shielding, Hazard plays with confidence, strategically assisting the defenders to stop goals and helping the forwards to make them.
As excellent dribblers, accurate passers and aggressive scorers, forwards stay on the offensive. While the main responsibility of a forward is to score goals, each of the three forward positions has a different responsibility�wingers work with midfielders to receive passes, strikers fend off the opposing defenders and center forwards score the majority of goals. Barcelona�s Lionel Messi, is not only one of the best forwards in the game, but is arguably one of the best players to ever set foot on a field. He is known for his speed, ability to change direction easily and playmaking creativity.
