BCF, I am VERY excited to announce that Mary Scott Bogacz is joining the BCF team as the box Manager and Coach! She brings an excellent skills set for both roles as well as incredible enthusiasm for helping people improve their fitness! She will be starting on Sept 8th, please extend a warm welcome when you see her at the box!! Bio is below. ============================= I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley where I spent most of my time outdoors, typically barefoot. I naturally don't like to sit still so I've always been active in a sport or hobby. Growing up we went hiking, 4-wheeling or hunting and I joined various sports such as dance, gymnastics, soccer, and swim team. However, what I loved most was horseback riding. Starting at the age of nine I was up early mucking out the stable (and smelling like it), training horses, and driving to competitions. By the age of 13 I was riding on the A-Level Jumper circuit. When I left home for college at CNU (aka the greatest college in the world!) I lost a bit of my country lifestyle but my love of competition and sport drove me to MMA. From 2008-2010 my off time was spent on the mat, in the cage, or lifting heavy things. Through MMA I found CrossFit, and it was love at first deadlift. It was the first time I picked up a barbell and it was the first time I was having fun while working out. Workouts became an event to share with friends versus another lonely session at the gym. Nothing has ever left me so sore and coming back for more with almost instant fitness results. Through it all, my MMA coach was there to encourage and challenge me, he believed in me before I believed in myself. After college I worked in the business industry until getting married in 2014. I then moved to DC with my husband who told me I could do any job I wanted. Inspired by the impact my MMA Coach had on my life and missing the fitness I had accomplished through CrossFit it was an obvious choice to become a coach myself. After getting my L1 certification I started coaching at Balance Gym then later at Hierarchy. It's my passion to introduce beginner athletes to CrossFit and help them obtain their fitness goals. People are capable of much more than they believe and CrossFit has a way of helping them realize that. CrossFit brings together a community of people that celebrate every caliber of accomplishment and supports eachother to push harder. Every athlete eventually finds their inner grit and contiually sets new Personal Records. I'm looking forward to helping you find yours :).

Do Pickup Drivers Really Want Six-Cylinder Engines?
General Motors' GMC truck unit said its Sierra full-size pickup truck will come with a standard 4.3-liter V6 engine that has the highest torque rating among standard V6 engines in the large-pickup segment – 305 lb-ft.
Anyone familiar with the truck business knows that a claim of the highest torque usually means an engine's horsepower is not so impressive. After all, even though torque is arguably what moves us, drivers relate better to horsepower. And the competition has more.
Ford Motor Co's F-150 truck comes with a 3.7-liter V6 with 302 horses and Chrysler Group LLC's Ram 1500 gets 305 from its 3.6-liter V6. Still, while the GMC truck's 285-horsepower rating is the same as its 5.3-liter V8s were putting out in the late 1990s. So things are improving.
While truck makers prefer to talk about muscle for hauling, towing and acceleration, the real reason they are focusing on six-cylinder engines is fuel economy. Tougher federal fuel-efficiency standards are forcing car companies to improve gas mileage significantly across their entire lineups. As a result, some are now touting trucks for how far they go on a gallon of gas.
The Ram 1500 (with two-wheel-drive) is rated at 25 miles per gallon on the highway — an amazing number for a large pickup. General Motors has said it will focus more on practical power and things like towing capacity. The company said EPA fuel economy estimates for the Sierra and its Chevrolet Silverado sister vehicle will be released later. The trucks will also be available with a 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8s.
The 2014 Sierra V6 goes on sale later this year with a starting price of $25,085, which includes a destination charge of $995. The V6 version will follow the launch of the 5.3-liter model this summer.

Safety First
Allow exemptions to vaccination rule
March 28, 2013
West Virginians would not tolerate it if a government official stood beside their family doctors and overruled physicians' recommendations for care of our children....
Maybe the best answer is neither of the above.
There should be an appeal process from the local health department decision. An appeal process that would be known, & easy to use.
But allowing any M.D. (or other doctor?) to veto a health department decision could open the door to problems. One doctor could become the "go-to" doc for any parents who have any concerns about vaccination. Not all of these are well-researched and well-founded -- & allowing too many unvaccinated children into the schools creates risks for everyone.
Appeals process to some State level board, yes. Veto by individual medical providers, I think not.

MORAGA -- Ryan Andresen, the Moraga Boy Scout who has received a flood of support online after his recent dismissal from the Boy Scouts following his admission he is gay, is scheduled to appear Thursday on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," according to the show's website.
Andresen, who turned 18 on Monday, had completed all the requirements for his Eagle Scout award -- the highest honor in Boy Scouting -- when he came out as gay.
Ryan's mother, Karen Andresen, started an online petition on Change.org on Oct. 2, demanding that her son be allowed to achieve the Eagle standing -- something he has been working toward since joining the Scouts at age 6.
The petition calls on Boy Scout leaders to reject the national organization's anti-gay policy. Two days later, local Scouting officials notified the Andresens that Ryan was losing his membership in Scouting altogether.
The online petition had more than 355,000 signatures as of Monday afternoon.
Boy Scout leadership reaffirmed the organization's long-standing ban on participation by gays and lesbians in July.
Ryan Andresen's Eagle Scout project is a 288-tile "Wall of Tolerance" on an outdoor wall at Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School in Moraga, where he attended classes.
Members of the Andresen family said last week they had agreed not to do interviews with local journalists as part of their arrangement with DeGeneres' show.
In the Bay Area, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" airs at 4 p.m. each afternoon on NBC Bay Area.

Two teams doled out two losses to Summit High's girls' basketball team, putting the Lady Tigers 0-3 on the season.
Both games started strong, with Summit out ahead of Crested Butte 8-0 to start off Friday's game.
"We just kind of let them back in the game," head coach Dylan Hollingsworth said, adding, "It was a three-point game with 54 seconds left."
After a foul to attempt to regain Tiger possession, Crested Butte put the game just out of reach in a 49-42 victory.
"We spent the whole night down one or two points. We were evenly matched teams," Hollingsworth said.
Platte Canyon dealt Saturday's 40-32 loss, which came after another strong start and being down just a few points going into the end of the game.
"We started 12-3. We started big. Then, we got really cold," Hollingsworth said, explaining that wide-open shots were bouncing out. Chaparas had 12 points on the game while junior Meg Heil tallied six.
Still, turnovers again outnumbered steals (numbers were high in both), and Hollingsworth plans to make that a focus in practice. Meanwhile, junior Kayce Chaparas tallied 14 points against Crested Butte, with junior Bailey Thompson the second leading scorer with six points. The rest of the team spread the remaining points out evenly.
Hollingsworth has his eyes on sole senior Alex Benes and junior Lily Weldon, the team's tallest, to develop into another player who can put significant points on the board.
"We did a pretty good job getting offensive rebounds, but we were not putting them back into the basket," Hollingsworth said. "Sometimes, we'd get three or four rebounds on a basket and come away with no points."
Weldon, in particular, has 11 points on the season, but is the leading rebounder.
"As a coaching staff, we have to do a better job getting her to understand how to make the most of her opportunities," Hollingsworth said.
Next up is South Park on Thursday. Hollingsworth is confident his team can compete, and can see they're eager for a win.
"They are definitely frustrated, but they're frustrated because they know they can win," he said.
Summit almost hung with Chatfield's hockey team in the Friday season opener, holding the strong skaters to 2-1 midway through the second period.
"I thought we had a pretty good chance, we were putting pretty good pressure on," head coach Chris Ruhly said.
Then, Chatfield exploded onto the ice, taking advantage of a window of Summit errors.
Two missed assignments resulted in to two Chatfield goals in 15 seconds.
"That took the wind out of the sails at that point," Ruhly said.
Until that point, Summit had been going strong, with Karl Olsson-deem scoring the first goal (and his first varsity goal) roughly a minute after Chatfield had put its second in the net in the second period. Chatfield was up 4-1 heading into the third period, but captain Sean Farley didn't give up, sinking the puck after a lot of back and forth.
Summit outshot Chatfield in the first and second periods and tallied just two penalities to Chatfield's seven on the game. Goalie Reiker Edstrom had 36 saves on the night. The coach was pleased with his young team's performance, though he noticed some little things that practice and game experience typically teach over time: lack of focus and concentration, missed passes and sticks off the ice.
"It's going to be a learning year, a teaching year. We're just a little behind the curve right now. We just need to be a little more focused come game time," he said. "Chatfield is a good team, a quality team. We just made mistakes they were able to capitalize on. We missed a number of opportunities on the power play we need to convert on."
Ruhly said he's disappointed with the loss, but expects to take some lessons home after Friday's play and Saturday's bout with Battle Mountain.
"(The Chatfield loss) puts us 0-1 in conference, and conference gets you into the playoffs," he said.
Wins to losses, Summit wrestling didn't shine in Saturday's Golden Invitational, but head coach Pete Baker says his outlook after the first meet is positive.
"This is setting us up to have a really good year. By January, everybody in that room has a chance to win 50-60 percent of their matches. That's not bad with how new everyone is," he said.
The team forfeited five weight classes due to academic ineligibility (six) and not making weight (two), which automatically cost it 30 points.
"If you take that out, we did really good," Baker said.
At 106 pounds, Carlos Lopez went undefeated while Bryan Daniel, 113 pounds, lost just one match.
The rest of the team faced stiff competition from Thomas Jefferson, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Strasburg, Jefferson, Denver East, Berthoud, Cheyenne Mountain, Rangeview and Alameda.
Nick Wittrock, for instance, wrestled a handful of last year's state contenders in the 126-pound class. He lost one match by one point and one match by two.
"That's some good wrestling," Baker said, later adding, "All the schools are really solid and competitive schools. All of them have a really good wrestling program. It's the first meet of the year. It lets everyone on the team know where they stand. If you're beating some of the guys there, you're beating guys who are making it to state. If you're losing, you're losing to guys who are making it to state."
On Saturday, the team heads to the Wheat Ridge Invitational, a true tournament where the team will see where it stands among its competition.

Paderewski Fine Art and next-door gallery Walt Horton Fine Art in Beaver Creek hosts three artists Friday through Sunday. David Jackson, Don Hamilton and Kyle Paliotto will all be painting at the galleries.
After teaching high school art for 27 years, Jackson retired to pursue his full-time painting career. Although he is well known for his accurate depictions of wildlife and western landscapes, His richly colored, impressionistic style has afforded him the opportunity of showing his work in private collections and shows throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He receives inspiration from the beautiful surroundings of his home and studio in Mountain Green, Utah.
A Colorado native, Hamilton's desire to work from life and to vary his subject matter led him to branch out into other areas and, most importantly, to begin painting outside, "en plein air.
The exhilaration of standing face-to-face with the subject, challenged by the changing light, unpredictable weather and the need to distill the scene down to its essence continue to be the motivation that drives him to venture out in all types of weather.
"Painting from life, especially outside on location, is critical in learning to see colors, understand value relationships and capture the unique feel of the subject that photographs cannot," said Hamilton who is a member of the Oil Painters of America.
After studies in California, and inspiring trips to Mexico City, Paliotto continues to produce old-world sophistication in today's landscape and animal scenes.
"I see the old masters, Russian Impressionism, and highly respectable traditional qualities in Kyle's work. It has a historical presence reminiscent of all the greats," said gallery associate, Leigh Ann Van Fossan.
Paliotto has been juried into several regional and national shows. He is influenced greatly by the late masters Frans Hals, John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, Ilya Repin, Nicolai Fechin and Antonio Mancini.
Paderewski Fine Art and Walt Horton Fine Art are located in Beaver Creek, on the Plaza level of the Hyatt, across from the ice rink. Call 970-949-6036 or visit www.paderewskifineart.com and www.walthortonfineart.com for more information.

An old "wandering crow" of the Night's Watch, Yoren is a ranger who is regularly sent out to scour the Seven Kingdoms for recruits to the Watch. He's described as stooped and sinister, with a twisted shoulder and greasy, lice-ridden black hair and beard. His teeth are stained red from the sourleaf he's constantly chewing. Though ill-favored, he's tough and pragmatic, with years of experience behind him.
On the show, Yoren is rather less unsavoury in appearance as well as manners.

This was supposed to be the game of the year.
It was supposed to be two undefeated teams playing for much more than a league championship.
It was supposed to be the upstart Fallon Greenwave ending a record winning streak owned by powerhouse Truckee.
Instead, it's one of the two biggest games on the slate this week, although a league crown is on the line. Not bad, but still a bit disappointing for many who figured this would be the biggest game in Fallon history since the Greenwave's 1978 state championship win.
Truckee's Nevada record-tying streak was snapped two weeks ago with a 7-0 home loss to Fernley. Nevertheless, today's battle of titans will determine playoff seeding for both clubs.
Fallon, meanwhile, continued its unbeaten streak with a 12-0 win at Fernley last week.
"They were able to focus on Fernley ... and we took care of business," Fallon coach Brooke Hill said. "The seniors that were on the team last year remember those two losses against Truckee. There's not a whole lot of needing to motivate them right now."
The Wolverines' offense was stymied by a fast and aggressive Fernley defense, which held Fallon to its lowest offensive output of the season (12 points) last week. Wolverines quarterback Erik Holmer battled through an injured finger to open the season and separated his shoulder last week in a 56-0 win over Wooster. He is expected to play.
Holmer has completed 36 of 72 passes for 627 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions. Louden Smith rotates under center with Holmer and the junior has completed 24 of 37 attempts for 469 yards, six TDs and one pick.
Truckee's best player, though, Graham Christian, injured his shoulder against Fernley and is expected to sit out against Fallon. Christian, a linebacker and running back, has accounted for 554 rushing yards and nine TDs to lead the team. In addition, he leads Truckee with 72 tackles and two interceptions. He did not play against Wooster.
"They have a core of their skill returning," Hill said. "They pose a threat offensively. They really haven't found their rhythm yet. Hopefully they don't this week."
A Truckee tradition through the years has been its defense. That trend continues this season as the Wolverines own the league's best scoring defense. Truckee has allowed 31 points (4.4 average per game) and recorded three shutouts.
The pass rush is led by Zak Pettit, who has seven sacks and 59 tackles as Truckee's best defensive end.
"We have the opportunity to go in there and still potentially win league, and that's what's in front of us," Truckee coach Bob Shaffer said. "It's an awhile since we've been the underdog."
But while the Wolverines may be the underdogs on paper, Truckee players aren't necessarily conceding to that notion.
"I don't know if they consider themselves the underdogs," Shaffer said. "They've been pretty successful. I think they feel like they have an opportunity and they have to go take advantage of it."
Fallon, meanwhile, owns the best offense in the league and averages 39.1 points per game. Last week, though, the Wave managed only 12 points against a stingy Fernley defense, and another tough battle awaits with the Wolverines.
Fallon is led by quarterback Morgan Dirickson, who has completed 74 of 127 passes for 1,319 yards, 16 TDs and three interceptions. Dirickson, though, will be without one of his best receivers, Micah Manning, who suffered a knee injury against the Vaqueros and will likely miss the rest of the season.
Manning hauled in 16 passes for 278 yards and six TDs. Defensively, Manning, a defensive back, recorded 25 tackles and one interception.
Nevertheless, Dylan Tedford and Skye Barton have been consistent targets of Dirickson as the duo has combined for 51 receptions, 955 yards and 10 TDs. Stepping in in place of Manning will be Beau Marshall, who missed several games with a shoulder injury.
The 6-foot-5-inch Marshall caught one pass for 17 yards against Fernley and will take over the No. 3 receiver position.
On the ground, Fallon features the speedy duo of Tyson Ernst and Trent Tarner. Ernst has racked up 876 yards and 13 TDs, while Tarner has amassed 618 yards and eight TDs.
The two backs bring different skill sets as Ernst is a one-cut and go runner, while Tarner's agility stops defenders in their tracks. Both will be needed to slow the tenacious Wolverines defense.
Defensively, Fallon is coming off its best performance of the season. The Wave, who introduced eight new starters this season, held Fernley to 147 total yards - 91 rushing - to secure their second shutout of the season.
A ball-hawking unit has forced 17 turnovers - nine interceptions and eight fumbles - and recorded 20 sacks led by Justin Hatfield (seven), Tyler Bagby (four) and Orrin Smith (three).
Speed is the anchor of the unit, which boasts Ian Fitzpatrick (second in the 3A 100-meter dash last year), Bagby, Smith, Trent Cole and Barton. In addition, Dalton Johnson, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last winter, provides the thunder at linebacker with vicious hits on opposing backs.
"This is going to be an even more physical game than last week," Hill said. "Fernley was a good game and it was a good game to have right before you face them (Truckee). The kids are starting to dial in on that side of the ball.
"We start two sophomores. We are getting the concepts in and playing the base defense really well, which allows us to tweak a few things and scheme a little bit."
After shutting down the Vaqueros last week, Fallon took command of sole possession of first place in the Northern Division I-A at 7-0. Chasing the Greenwave for tops in the league are Truckee (6-1), Fernley (6-1) and Lowry (6-1). Also in the mix is South Tahoe (4-3), which must beat Spring Creek this week and Truckee next week to capture the No. 4 seed.
Two losses by the Wolverines and the three-time defending state champions would miss the postseason. Two more wins, however, and the Wolverines could potentially win league, and with it earn homefield advantage as they seek a fourth consecutive state championship.

10 Ways to Burn More Calories Just By Sitting
Who needs the gym when you can do these sneaky moves and lose weight with almost no effort?
Studies say that too much sitting puts us at greater risk for diabetes and cancer, increased inflammation and insulin levels, and slower metabolism, among other issues. And sloths aren't the only ones who suffer. People who hit the gym and watch their diets are also having an increasingly hard time staying trim with the longer hours we spend on our booties. We're busier than ever, yet when our hectic schedules are over, we crave nothing more than -- you guessed it -- collapsing onto our backsides. What can we do when our lives revolve around sitting for work and relaxation?
Beat our sedentary lifestyle at its own game, of course. That's why we asked experts how to boost metabolism and burn calories while seated. We don't want you to replace exercise, eating well, and living a healthy lifestyle with these butt-blasting suggestions -- just add them to your existing routine to maximize your calorie burning potential. So what are you waiting for? As you read this, you're probably already in the starting position anyway.

Bio and Links
I'm Becky and I'm a friend to all animals and most people. I'm an American, a Montanan, a 911 Dispatcher, an EMT, a writer, a Republican, an aviation and maritime enthusiast, a firearms enthusiast, genealogist, a pianist, an aspiring violinist, and a frustrated Raiders fan.
I have an affinity for lighthouses, airplanes and most shades of purple. I was born in Utah, reared in Montana, and consider myself a Michigander at heart. My favorite states are Montana, Michigan, and Maryland. But, I haven't been to Hawai'i yet!
I believe in God the Eternal Father and in His son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
I love my country and am PROUD to be an American. I support our military. I thank our veterans and those of our allies. We owe them so much. Thank you seems so small a gesture for those who have given so much so that we could be and stay free.
I am a proud missionary aunt to Anne, who is serving in North Carolina and KayReah, serving in Colorado. I hope to follow their example someday.
There are so many people that I have a deep respect for. My parents, Walter Maurice Warner and Mildred Elnora (Nash) Warner, and my sister, Brenda Lee Warner, are among them. I suppose my favorite person ever would be my Grandma, Mary Etta (Bradley) Nash.
My ancestry includes Mi'kmaq, French, Irish, British, Scottish, French Canadian, Acadian, and others we haven't confirmed yet.
My roots run deep in Michigan, Utah, Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Nova Scotia and Quebec.
I have been adding burials from many Southwest Montana cemeteries. I have added burials from the Montana state orphanage at Twin Bridges and the state Children's Home and Hospital in Helena. I have this listed in my virtual cemeteries.
I do this because I believe that every person/being is important and deserves to be remembered. And, if just one person finds a long-lost relative or friend from my efforts, my time has been worth it.
One of my favorite TV shows as a child was The Waltons. In a guest appearance as Martha Corinne Walton, Beulah Bondi said it best, "Neglected graves are a shameful thing." I have seen some very neglected cemeteries. But, neglected veterans' graves upset me the most. I don't believe in "non-perpetual care." I want to make something clear. When I say that neglected graves are shameful, I am talking about physical neglect-- strewn with rubbish, overgrowth, gopher holes, etc. I do not in any way mean that a grave is neglected if loved ones are unable to visit it often. Why anyone would think that is beyond me, but I've gotten enough emails that I felt the need to explain that.
For reasons I don't always understand, some people are offended to find their loved ones listed on a genealogical website. Obviously, they are not genealogists themselves. While I may not always understand their feelings, I do respect them. If a record I've added is of your loved one and you want it removed, let me know POLITELY (unlike one dolt who threatened to kill me and erroneously thought that I didn't have access to enough information about him through a single e-mail to file charges) and I will gladly remove it. I am also happy to transfer ownership to relatives. Also, feel free to use any of the headstone photos I've added for non-commercial genealogical purposes.

Edits for 3 memorials Twin Bridges Cemetery
On July 7th I filled out edits for 3 memorials in this cemetery, the addition of the parents for all three of the following: Mortimer Hewlett Lott, John S. Lott and their sister Harriet Smith. Their parents are in a cemetery in Pa., and I put their memorial numbers from this cemetery in the edits for each of the three listed. Since I haven't received notification of the additions, perhaps you didn't receive these. Is there something more I should do. It is so exciting to be able to link family members who moved far away from their homes, and to have the opportunity to see their final places of rest. Until Find a "Grave and all the work you and the many other volunteers do, this wasn't a possibility for most of us. Thank you. Diane

RE: Thank you
Thanks again. I am going to be a pain again. Sorry. I know how good you are about responding to edits. So I know this one got lost in the shuffle, so that's the only reason I am reminding you. It's an edit for my aunt Mary Lou Fisher 12538120 I was hoping to have it linked to my grandparent's Catherine and Iver Olsen. I put the edit in awhile ago if you are not able to find it let me know I will delete it and resubmit it so you get another notification. Thanks again. Hope the classes are going good. Sounds like fun.

Thank you for adding his memorial to Find a Grave. Bill was my sister's son, my nephew. He died too young. I do our families genealogy and would appreciate having you transfer his memorial to me, Mary Lou Gilman #47950723.
Your profile and your body of work are truly impressive. Like you, I believe every soul has worth and deserves to be remembered. So many others on Find-a-Grave have assisted me in my search for family. I've seen your contributions for years. Thank you so much for your continued work on behalf of those living and gone.

Abraham Lincoln
Hail to the Chiefs
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
As 1862 began the U.S. government was overwhelmed, the Treasury was broke, and the Confederacy was winning on the battlefield. A year later, under the leadership of an unschooled country lawyer, the tide had turned.
Drawing from his book Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year, journalist/historian David Von Drehle explains how Lincoln fashioned a victory and set the blueprint for modern America.
Von Drehle has written for the Washington Post and Time magazine; among his books is Why They Fought: The Real Reason for the Civil War.

Knitter's Review

Can you knit and read at the same time? Some people can, others (myself included) can't. I have to stop knitting if I want to read a good book. And summer is book season.
Here's a solution: Three great summer books, all of which have knitting as their central theme.

Product Technologies:
- Lifetime warranty: As an American company, American Standard showers are built tough. Their products live longer in one place than most people do. Drip-free ceramic disc valves, high-grade lead-free brass alloys, and turbine shower heads cables name just a few of the features which make American Standard showers the industry's longest lasting. To back this up, all American Standard showers are covered under a lifetime warranty.
- Indestructible Finishes: Through employing only the best finishing practices, such as physical vapor deposition, American Standard shower finishes are some of the strongest in the industry. When the finish is actually incorporated into the brass, rather than a coating on the outside, the result is a flawless appearance that eliminates tarnishing, pitting, and peeling while hiding scratches. For this reason, American Standard shower finishes are fully covered under the lifetime warranty.
- FloWise Turbine Technology: As the 2012 EPA WaterSense partner of the year, American Standard shower faucets are acclaimed for saving water without sacrificing performance. Through the use of patented turbine technology, which pressurizes and spins the water into a satisfying, warm, and invigorating spray, FloWise showers save 40% more water than other brands/models. When costs of heated water are factored in, these showers easily pay for themselves throughout the life of their use.
- TRIMendous Universal Valve Bodies: Should you ever change your mind about the style of your bathroom and wish to change out the fixtures, this shower trim package can easily be swapped out for any other American Standard shower trim without having to break into the wall and replace the valve. The Universal valve body and trim assemblies make the switch a breeze.

If you are a history enthusiast, "Images of America: Lake Tahoe's West Shore" by Carol A. Jensen, will immediately pique your interest. But even if your eyes glaze over at the mere mention of history this well-done paperback published by the Arcadia Company holds exceptional appeal, especially if you have a special connection with Lake Tahoe.
Created in conjunction with North Lake Tahoe's Historical Society, Jensen provides a comprehensive timeline of historical events focused on the opening of the West Shore and she brings them to life in a dazzling photographic display. Some may refer to it as a coffee table book. Although it's smaller in size than most in that order, it will adorn a table nicely and intrigue anyone who chooses to take a peek inside.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words and there is no shortage of pictures in "Lake Tahoe's West Shore." In fact, it's all about the pictures. But they are not just ordinary ones; they're of the vintage variety. Some images are incredible, others perplexing and some sad. Featured photos illustrate the construction of lavish five star resorts, early transportation modes and the clear cutting of our beautiful pine forests during the Gold Rush. You will see the Washoe people driven into domestic roles as land is defiled and resources spent. You might chuckle, as I did, at photos of women climbing snowy granite rocks wearing long skirts and wide-rimmed hats, some adorned with flowers. Then there are the families who came to Lake Tahoe and established traditions that are still in place today. Do not skip the narratives. To do so would be a shame. Read the captions and chapter introductions. They are central to the overall content. You won't be sorry.
John C. Fremont and Charles Preuss were the first European-Americans to discover the "lake of the sky" in 1844 and from there it all began. Early pioneers most notably Duane L. Bliss, take center stage for the unfolding of the West Shore's economic development. Build and they will come! They certainly did.
An influx of high society travelers arrived on our shores in great numbers. Many resided in San Francisco and had made a lucrative return on Gold Rush fever. They established fabulous summer homes and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle at the lake. They were not the only ones who came. Hollywood stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Buster Keaton and Jeanette McDonald arrived to work and play as well. Movie moguls, Christian evangelists and notables such as Mark Twain and John Steinbeck found solace and inspiration here. Mark Twain wrote "Roughing It" in 1872. It is a tale spun from his Tahoe experience.
A quick and easy read, "Lake Tahoe's West Shore" can be devoured on a leisurely afternoon. It will take you to the Tahoe Tavern, Rubicon Bay, the Foursquare Church in Tahoma and the ski jump on Olympic Hill. You'll be introduced to Schlueter's Lodge, "located in the tall pines in an area free from poison oak, rattlesnakes, wind and uncomfortable heat." Early maps, railway tickets and lavish menus are included in this grand pictorial collection.

Dirty Work:
How to Clean Your Handknits
The same instinct that tells you not to wash your hair with laundry detergent applies to yarn as well. Such harsh soaps can be murder on a garment you took great care (possibly at great expense) to create. So take heed.
Hairy Matters
Animal fibers, like human hair, have an outer layer of fine scales that determine the overall appearance of the fiber. Harsh soaps can damage these scales and strip the fiber of any remaining oil.
The yarn loses its luster and can take on a dry, lifeless appearance. It can also lose its color, causing unsightly fading.
Exploring the Options
Many knitters debate about the best soap for washing handknitted garments made of natural fibers. There is no absolute answer, but here are some general guidelines.
- Woolite. Although marketed for the care of fine handwashables, including, of course, wool, Woolite has had a reputation in the past for being too harsh on fibers and stripping them of their elasticity. I still avoid it.
- Eucalan woolwash. The biodegradable Canadian wool wash is actually a rinse. You soak garments in a small amount diluted in water for at least 15 minutes. Then lift them out, squeeze out excess water, and lay flat to dry.
Eucalan contains a small amount eucalyptus oil, which is a natural moth repellant. It also leaves garments smelling delicious. It also contains lanolin, which helps enhance the natural luster of wool. But if mere soaking doesn't leave you feeling clean enough, or if you're allergic to eucalyptus oil, you can try the lavender-infused version of Eucalan.
- Kookaburra woolwash. Also biodegradable, this concentrated water-based soap can be used either as a rinsed or rinse-free wash. It contains tea tree oil, a natural fungicide and bacteriostat, as well as lanolin, to keep your woollens soft and supple.
- Soak. A new biodegradable, phosphate-free no-rinse woolwash with three, more "contemporary" fragrances. Think Body Shop for sheep.
- Ivory soap. I use Ivory dishwashing liquid for all yarn tests. It is mild, cleans well, rinses out easily, and leaves little residue. Just a teaspoonful in a large dishpan of lukewarm water will do. It's also biodegradable and phosphate free.
- Shampoo. Fiber is just like hair, so why not treat it that way. The key here is to find the right shampoo. Look for gentle shampoos designed for everyday use on normal hair.
Stay away from any shampoos for oily or damaged hair. Common recommendations include Alberto V05 and any baby shampoo. We've found Neutrogena shampoos to be too harsh.
A spash of white vinegar in the rinse also helps neutralize the soap residue and keep it from damaging the fibers, especially with silks.
- Conditioner. For added softness, especially when working with potentially scratchy wools, many people like to finish their wash with a dab of hair conditioner. It leaves the yarn extra soft, can help retain or even improve luster, and makes it smell wonderful.
Don't Go Overboard
The key with all these options is moderation. Just a small dab of mild soap or conditioner will do. Adding too much will do more harm than good.
The Basic Protocol
There are a few minor differences between washing cellulose, protein, and synthetic fibers. But in general, here are the steps you want to take.
First, fill a large sink with lukewarm water and add a dab of a mild soap (see above for a discussion of the most popular soaps). Just remember that standard laundry detergents may be too strong and strip your fibers of their natural luster.
Drop the garment into the water and tap it down gently until it's fully saturated with water. Don't rub or agitate the garment, just gently squeeze it until all the fibers have been saturated with water.
Let it rest for a minute or so (or longer if you're using Eucalan), then squeeze the garment together and lift it out of the water. Drain the sink, and re-fill the sink with water of the same temperature. (Rapid changes in water temperature can cause felting.)
Lower the garment back into the water, gently swish the clean water through the garment a few times, then gather and lift, drain, and repeat until the rinse water runs clear.
Then lay the garment out on a towel (or several towels) and blot out the excess moisture before reshaping it (some garments will need more tugging and prodding to resume their original shape, while others will be just fine) and letting it dry on a flat surface—either a few towels or a specialty drying rack you can get at most home stores such as Target.
Common Questions
Is dry cleaning OK?
Dry cleaning—a chemical process—can significantly damage natural fibers. I do not, ever, send sweaters to be dry cleaned. For truly precious garments, I soak them in Eucalan or Kookaburra and lay them flat on a sweater screen to dry.
Is water temperature really important?
Only where hot water is concerned, and the simple answer there is don't! We find lukewarm water is the best solution if you want to get your garments clean. Soap breaks down more easily in lukewarm water, which means cleaner garments.
Washing particularly dark or richly colored garments in lukewarm water may result in a small amount of color bleeding. Deciding whether or not to take the risk is up to you.
What's the best way to dry my handknitted garments?
We all know that wringing garments dry is a no-no. Instead, try placing the garment in your washing machine on the spin cycle for 10 seconds. This will remove the excess water without deforming the garment structure. Any more than 10 seconds in the machine and you're on your own!
Then you can place it on a sweater rack or any other flat, porous surface to dry—always away from direct sunlight.
Another older technique is to lay the garment flat on one or several towels, then roll it up and apply gentle pressure to squeeze out excess water. Then proceeed to lay flat to dry.
The reason you want to dry garments flat is to preserve their original shape. Hanging anything over the back of a chair will cause it to stretch out of shape.Share your tips in the forums

"I get great results soaking, then gently hand washing with a 'green' dish soap--I use Seventh Generation, which I purchase by the case from Real Goods. I always dry my woollens on a rack outdoors; I use a sunny spot on our deck in winter." byham, 10/5/01
"I wash my sweaters by hand in a cold water wash and then put them in the washing machine on gentle and spin the extra water out of the garment and then I lie it flat to dry. I have been doing this for 30 years and have had great results." Cynthia C., 01/30/01
"The easiest, safest and stain removing soap that I use and not only recommend but send as gifts is Eucalan. It is about $10.00 a bottle but one uses so little, finds it so mild and best of all NO RINSING. I have even used it for cleaning spots on my carpet and all my silk blouses. Guess I am just a satisfied consumer of this product." Caryl G., 01/30/01
"I think if you have taken the trouble to handknit something then it's worth handwashing (in a good quality handwash/wool wash liquid), rinsing of course, the last rinse in a good fabric softner. I then give it a short spin and dry it flat. I press it under a damp cloth. In my opinion, the quality of handknits lasts longer if you take the trouble to handwash." Lynn B., 01/26/01
"For about a year I have been using a powdered product called Forever New, which I purchase at a nearby dept store (Dillards). I think I first heard of it, or read of it, in Simply Beautiful Sweaters. It is fairly pricey, but I save it for use only with my fine knits. It retails for around $10 per 36 oz. I don't use it for panty hose or other washables. Knits are soft, but lively. There is a very pleasant, faint aroma, nothing that is overpowering or too sweet. I recently bought an extra bottle, just in case the dept store stops carrying it. That is how much I like it! I also like a drying rack to help speed the drying process along." jtcorra, 01/26/01
"I recently made a sweater out of a mohair mix yarn that shed like crazy when I was knitting it. I figured that after washing it, the shedding would stop. But the first time I wore it, I left fuzz everywhere I went. I took it home and put it in the dryer on the air fluff setting. It took almost 2 hours, but it finally stopped shedding so much, but it is still plenty fuzzy and soft. It made the difference between a sweater that I was ready to throw away, and one that is now going to be one of my favorites." cputnam1, 01/26/01
"Recently I've been using Dryelle to wash my sweaters. You place your sweater in a Dryelle dryer bag along with a Dryelle sheet (it looks sort of like a fabric softner sheet). In 30 minutes you have a clean fresh smelling sweater. It also comes with a stain remover solution, but luckilly I haven't had to try that yet." Andrea, 01/25/01
"Eucalan in the washing machine, for both washing and blocking. I love it!" echarvey, 01/25/01
"If the washing instructions allow for machine wash tumble dry, I find that putting that sweater or whatever in one of those mesh laundry bags for the wash and drying helps keep the shape and avoid unnecessary streching." Mark, 01/25/01
"You may laugh, but the best thing I ever found was good old-fashioned enema soap. I started using it when I was nursing 40 years ago, used to wash my hair in it too. It's basically a pure mild soap solution. There may be branded names, if so watch for additives, but usually it is in one-gallon plastic containers." Chris, 01/25/01
"As a hand spinner and reenacting 'suttler" of the 18th Century in Montréal, I wash upward of 500 Lb. of wool a year. Some of it comes directly from the sheep (who has never bathed, God love it, and is pretty dirty), and some I wash after spinning. I do camels, mohairs, cashgoras, angoras, and cashmere as well as many breeds of sheep. Some of my yarns are very expensive and I would hate to felt the lot!
Depending on how dirty the wool or yarn or garment is, I wash in cold, warm or hot water. The cleaning agent is either dish washing soap or one of the fiber soaps. The trick is not to agitate but to press the thing into the water after the soap has been distributed. I use the washing machine but turn it off completely during the soak. I leave the product in the soapy water 10 minutes, then press down with a plunger I keep for the purpose. Leave it another 10 minutes and drain the tub (remember the water is shut off.
When the tub is empty, I put in an old towel to balance the load and spin the heck out of it, making sure the object is kept in a clump. I remove the garment or wool from the tub and refill with clean water of the same temperature I used to wash to avoid a shock. I plunge the wool or garment back in and let it soak for 10 minutes. I repeat the closing of the taps so that the spurts of water that could hit and felt the wool do not happen. I spin with the old towel again, remove the wool or garment, give it a good shake and , since by now the piece is almost dry to the touch, either hang it on a PVC pipe or stretch it out. Drying time is kept to a minimum this way.
Before the knitters cringe at the thought of boiling hot water, I remind them that dyeing is done in simmering water from 20 minutes to 1 hour to set colour, depending on the dye stuff.
If the knitter is a little worried about the results, I suggest trying it with an old sweater." Mickey, 01/25/01

Finding a solution to violence
December 29, 2012
In the days after the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Conn., I made it clear that I believe it is time for us to move from rhetoric to action to prevent future acts of senseless mass violence....
This is just another example of hiding the real problem and punishinganything and everyone but the offender.
We are raising monsters because we have a lack of morals, human compassion, and the 'normal' family unit has deteriorated.
Children no longer grow up with a normal, loving, Mommy and Daddy, family. They are sent to daycares, babysitters, or just left alone. They learn their morals and values from strangers, or they watch TV and try to figure it out on their own.

Asiana Airlines admitted in a regulatory filing released Monday that its pilots failed to monitor and maintain a safe airspeed in a crash at San Francisco International Airport that killed three passengers last July.
The airline's explanation of how its pilots landed a state of the art airliner short of the runway on a clear, sunny day July 6 is contained in documents released Monday by the National Transportation Safety Board.
The documents likely set the stage for a battle over financial damages for the crash of Flight 214, a nonstop from Seoul, South Korea.
Asiana admitted that the "probable cause" of the accident was the flight crew's failure to monitor and maintain a safe airspeed and to initiate a go-around for another try at landing as required by company procedures.
"Given the pilots' experience and training, there are no obvious explanations for why they did not recognize the deteriorating airspeed and abandon the approach sooner," the airline said in its submission to the NTSB.
But it also blamed the Boeing 777 airliner's automation and warning systems for contributing to the disaster, along with what it said was a heavy workload imposed on the pilots by air traffic controllers on the ground.
Boeing's submission, also released Monday, placed the blame squarely on the pilots.
"This accident occurred due to the flight crew's failure to monitor and control airspeed, thrust level and glide path on short final approach," Boeing said.
Had the crew followed procedures and initiated a go-around for another landing attempt, the accident would have been avoided, Boeing said.
The Federal Aviation Administration, which operates the air traffic control system, referred questions to the safety board.
Board spokesman Keith Holloway declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
Barry Schiff, a Camarillo aviation safety expert with 34 years as an airliner captain, said blaming automation as a contributing factor "is shifting blame where it does not belong."
Schiff said maintaining a safe airspeed is one of the most basic jobs a captain has.
"A pilot has certain responsibilities, and one of the most primary is maintaining a safe airspeed and altitude at all times. He may use automation to assist him, but it's his responsibility to ensure that technology is not leading him astray and is doing what he wants it to do."
Another aviation expert, Col. J.F. Joseph with Joseph Aviation Consulting, of Kyle¿, Texas, said it appears that the pilots were in "task overload.
"These airplanes are extremely complicated. If you don't understand what mode you're in, you're going to get a spanking -- Boeing, Airbus, whatever," he said.
Asiana said in its submission that the "highly trained and experienced" flight crew operating Flight 214 was beset by problems that "would have been difficult to predict."
It cited "inconsistencies in the aircraft's automation logic" that led to a disabling of systems to maintain a minimum airspeed "without warning to the flight crew," who believed the aircraft's auto-throttle system would maintain a safe airspeed through the final approach for landing.
Also, it said, a low airspeed alerting system "did not provide adequate time for recovery."
Finally, it said, "air traffic control instructions and procedures led to an excessive pilot workload during the final approach."
The airline noted that its pilots have flown into San Francisco "uneventfully for over 20 years" and knew how to land on visual approach.
The company "strongly encouraged" Boeing to change the 777's autothrottle so it would wake up when the aircraft deviates significantly from the desired speed.
It said the issue had been flagged by European aviation regulators and the lead FAA test pilot for the Boeing 787, which has essentially the same auto-throttle system.

Pastime tournament under way at Sewell-Thomas Stadium
Published: Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 29, 2013 at 12:08 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Pastime Tournaments is hosting a baseball tournament this weekend at the University of Alabama's Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
This is the third year Pastime has used Alabama's facilities for its tournaments. The top two teams of the seven competing advance to the Pastime 17-under World Series and compete against teams from across the nation.
"Alabama is a big draw," Alabama assistant baseball coach Bobby Barbier said on why Pastime chooses Tuscaloosa as a tournament host. "They come in and find the teams and rent out the field."
Four Alabama teams are competing against teams from Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky in this weekend's tournament.
The 17U Hoover Baseball Club defeated Cincy Nitro from Cincinnati, 4-0 on Friday.
"It was a good game, they were a good team," said Hoover Baseball Club assistant coach Jay Clark. "It was a close game of pitchers, a pitcher's duel."
Last year, Hoover Baseball Club won the Pastime tournament.
"We enjoy coming here. It's close to home and gives the guys a chance to play in the college ballpark and they enjoy that," Clark said. "It's a good tournament and they do a good job running it."
Clark also said the tournament is a good chance for his team to see how teams from the North and other parts of the country play and gives the "guys from the North a chance to come down and see the South and be impressed by our hospitality."
In Friday's games: Hoover Baseball Club 17 beat Alabama Commodores 11-1; Kentucky Prospects 14, Hoover Baseball Club 16 2; Alabama Bluesox 10, Alabama Commodores 5.
Tournament play will continue today with the Alabama Commodores facing the Hoover Baseball Club 16 at 11:15 a.m. Play will continue throughout the day at Alabama's field and Hillcrest High School with the last game starting at 6 p.m.

When the Murrow girls want to add some curl to their "dos," they have plenty of tools at their finger tips. But, they don't have the "Air Curler."
The commercial for the product claims "now you can twirl a head full of curls with Air Curler. The revolutionary new styling tool that creates the perfect curl every time." The product costs about $23, including shipping and handling.
Following the instructions, Jade and Sidney started with damp hair and added product. Their mom, Heather, put the "Air Curler" together with no problem. All she had to do was attach it to a blow dryer.
The directions suggest spinning a strand of hair for 10 to 15 seconds, then cooling the section for 10 to 20 seconds.
But Sidney said the finished product was a "tangled mess."
The expression on the teen's face said it all.
Heather gave the "Air Curler" another whirl, but on Jade's hair. Seconds later, Jade didn't like the results. The girls weren't convinced they could duplicate the commercial.
"They made it look like you could quickly pull up a wedding up-do," Heather said. "They couldn't even get their hair decent enough to leave the house today. It doesn't work."
Eyewitness News called and emailed the company about our results several weeks ago. It never responded.

EDWARDS, Colorado - Actress Laura Dern was in Edwards Thursday at the Obama campaign's field office to talk to local volunteers about the importance of their efforts.
Dern is flying from place to place, she said, in the days before the election because she said grassroots efforts are so important. She made three stops in Colorado Thursday - Edwards, Frisco and Evergreen.
Dern's appearance highlights the importance of star power during this campaign season. Both Obama and Mitt Romney have used celebrities to help spread their messages.
Last week, Romney and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan held a rally at Red Rocks where singers Kid Rock and Rodney Atkins performed. Colorado Rockies legend Todd Helton also spoke in favor of the Republican ticket at that event. Last Saturday, actors Laurence Fishburne, Jon Hamm and Zachary Quinto, among others, rallied for Obama in Grand Junction.
While celebrities might have more reach, their presence within each campaign highlights why the grassroots effort is so important.
Colorado is a key battleground state this year, and the latest poll shows a tight race here with a slight lead going to Obama. The tight race and coveted nine electoral votes in Colorado are why the candidates aren't giving up in the days before the election.
Paul Ryan is making a stop in Montrose Friday following his Thursday appearance in Greeley, while Mitt and Ann Romney will be in Denver and Colorado Springs Saturday.
Obama also held a rally in Boulder on Thursday night at the University of Colorado.
And while Romney has 13 Colorado field offices, known as victory centers, and the Obama campaign has 62 offices in the state, Eagle County Republicans chair Kaye Ferry doesn't think it matters much.
Ferry thinks the Republican presence is much stronger in Eagle County - just look at the signs along Interstate 70, she said. She noted that the attendance at the Republican caucus shattered records, and the latest turnout record is for poll watchers - people who literally watch the polls on election day to look for anything suspicious or odd.
She said it's been "pretty astounding" that in almost all of the times she's been out waving signs in the mornings, the Republicans never run into any Democrats.
"To me, they've been pretty nonexistent up here," Ferry said. "We're working hard."
The Democrats have been knocking on doors, too, and using folks like Dern to energize voters. About 20 people showed up to see Dern on Thursday, many of whom went out door-knocking after meeting her. And the feeling around that Obama field office was that the Democrats have been tirelessly door-knocking, too.
Jess Frieze is one of them. He's a part-time Edwards resident from Kansas who said his home state will never vote for a Democrat, which is why he's spending his time knocking on doors in Eagle County. Obama field office employee Lander Karath said Frieze has been volunteering just about every day for the campaign.
"We've just got to work as hard as we can," Karath said. "In five days, you can have your life back."
That's the attitude Ferry has, too. She said she's going to have to find time to wash her hair in the days leading up to the election because she'll be so busy.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans will be making a big push this weekend in advance of election day. And both sides agree there aren't many undecided voters left, so the goal now is to make sure people actually vote.
"Regardless of anyone's point of view, they must utilize their voice in this country," Dern said.
