Editor's note: The Journal's annual Unsung Heroes feature, which runs each Monday from Memorial Day to Veterans Day, profiles U.S. veterans who served in wars and conflicts from World War II to the present.
MARTINSBURG - Vietnam War-era veteran Solomon Watts has no doubt that his military experience - the 10 years he spent in the Army as well as what he faced after leaving the service - helped make him the man he is today.
Watts, 59, now is actively involved in a number of social and civic organizations such as the NAACP and the Apollo Civic Theatre in his adopted hometown of Martinsburg.

But that wasn't always the case for native of Newark, N.J., who said he had some bleak days before his life got turned around and he decided to move to the Eastern Panhandle.
A lab technician before he got drafted, Watts still recalls how a cab driver recommended that he "go into transportation" in the Army, which is how he became a transportation movement specialist.
It was a good decision, one that kept him out of combat but also allowed him to see the world, including his first assignment in Korea as well as others to Thailand and Germany, Watts said.
All of these experiences left their mark on him, especially the uprising he saw in Thailand, which included "folks getting hanged and shot. That really bothered me, but I didn't even know how much until much later in my life," he said.
His assignment to Germany was an honor accorded to only a small percentage of men, Watts said.
"It was pretty amazing to be in Berlin before the wall came down. People were desperate to escape from the East," he said.
While in Berlin, Watts' love of music led him to form a group known as Essence, a step that also had an impact on his military career.
Smiling as he recalled those earlier days as the group's lead singer, Watts said he and his fellow musicians took first place when they performed at an Oktoberfest celebration in Berlin.
Since he "still had a taste to entertain," Watts was thrilled when he was assigned to special services, which is the part of the military that brings in entertainment, he said.
But there also were some "dark times" while in the Army, Watts said.
One of the most obvious was when he was wrongly accused of possessing drugs, he said.
"What had happened was that I had some 'Magic Shave," just enough for a day, in some aluminum foil. But I got caught up in a drug sweep and I got arrested for supposedly having heroin," Watts said.
Although he was put on restrictions and "dehumanized" during the subsequent investigation, Watts, who was a sergeant by then, knew that he was innocent and would ultimately be cleared.
"I was getting urinalysis maybe twice a day. I must have had like 120 urinalysis (tests), so they sent this to the lab and found out it wasn't what they thought it was so they had to apologize," he said.
Unfortunately, the Army wasn't big on apologies, Watts said.
"So they sent me to the command sergeant major, which was important because I was up for general court marshal, which would have meant 50 years in jail. He explained how it was somehow still my fault and would I like to re-enlist. But I just wanted to get out and go back to the states," he said, adding that he still had a few months left in Berlin where he was assigned to work at a new television station.
In the end, Watts left the Army with a promotion and ended his career as a staff sergeant E6.
Not that going back home was easy, especially since he was going back to an urban environment ripe with crime. Plus, many folks didn't treat returning Vietnam veterans well, Watts said.
Watts also found out that he had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. That made it hard to trust others, resulted in flashbacks and generally made life much more difficult at times, he said, adding that he'd even lived in an abandoned house for a while.
"In the beginning, I didn't even know what was wrong with me ...," he said.
"When I got home, it was rough without that military structure, because there were a whole lot of drugs and I was kind of on my own in Newark, which was the worst thing I could have done. It was a real troubled environment: guns, bullets and drugs," said Watts, adding that he was still trying to work and attend college despite his PTSD.
Ironically, it was one of his former military associates, Capt. Subee, who worked at the college that Watts attended and first explained his PTSD problems.
"So I followed him to his office, really thinking more about class and where my next meal is going to come from, when he took out a pamphlet with symptoms on it and began reading them to me, everything from depression to nightmares and cold sweats. Right then, things starting coming back to me and I knew he was right," Watts said about his symptoms from PTSD.
"Tears just would not stop. They just kept coming, and for a while, I couldn't even talk. It was just like being found," he said.
Some help also came from traditional sources, like doctors at Veterans Affairs hospitals, as well as someone who Watts believes was sent to be his "guardian angel on earth," his friend Gloria.
He said Gloria helped him when no one else would, not even his family,
"While I was living in that abandoned house ... (she) let me walk to her house to take a shower, and she would feed me. She would just look out for me, even though the area was really dangerous. She would still come and bring clean clothes to me, as well as food," Watts said, adding that she also encouraged him to help himself.
Eventually, the pair became even closer - and now they have been married for several years.
He credits his move to Berkeley County to another Vietnam vet, William Johnson, who had lived in Martinsburg and told him about the town while they were being treated in a VA facility together.
"At that time, I didn't even know there was a West Virginia, but it sounded like a nice place and I needed somewhere to go," Watts said, adding that he told hospital officials he wanted to be transferred to the Martinsburg VA Medical Center immediately.
His wish was granted, and it wasn't long until he felt at home, Watts said with a smile.
"I guess I had only been at the VA here for a week or so until I started getting hugs from folks - and I have to tell you, I wasn't used to that at all, but I sure did grow to like it. Now this place just seems natural to me, and this is the way it should be. Plus I hug people myself. Who would have known that I would turn out to be a hugger?" he said.
Looking back, Watts said he is satisfied with his life and happy that he now has time to give to various civic organizations in a community that he likes.
Even his military experience was a positive because it gave him a different outlook, Watts said.
"It took me out of the structure that I was in, which was the city, which was also a wild life in the ghetto, and allowed me to experience discipline and leadership. It quickly taught me to be a man. It also gave me an opportunity to travel, as well as learn how to get along with all different kinds of people, live in different cultures," he said.
"I think that's the best education you can get: to travel and expand your horizons," Watts said. "I was always a person who wanted to learn, so it was a good experience. And sometimes, I long to be back in the military. I even have dreams about that."

WE AMERICANS aren't very good at being hard on ourselves. A glance at the cover of popular (mostly women's) magazines would lead you to believe that the average person is wracked with guilt about (1) sub-par job performance, (2) less-than-stellar parenting skills, (3) inadequacy in intimate relationships and (4) poor body image.
The casual observer would be forced to conclude that we hardy descendants of immigrant stock are dissatisfied with failure and willing to make sacrifices in the name of an honorable (but ambiguous) ideal. The casual observer would be gravely mistaken.

Featured Golf News
Daly to Have Season-Ending Elbow Surgery
John Daly has withdrawn from the British Open in two weeks because he will have surgery on his right elbow this week. The two-time major champion will be replaced at Muirfield by Scotland's Stephen Gallacher.
Daly said he originally tore a tendon in his elbow at the Byron Nelson Championship in May. Doctors said then that he could try to play as long as he didn't hit a tree root or a rock. Unfortunately, that's what happened in the second round of the Greenbrier Classic last Friday.
"I was just trying to chip out and there was a root under the ball," Daly said in reference to his fateful shot on the 12th hole (his third of the day) at Greenbrier Resort's Old TPC White course in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. "It wasn't more than a 50-yard chip shot. But that's the pain I've been dealing with."
The 47-year-old, a two-time major champion, will go under the knife Thursday and miss one of the two majors for which he's eligible; the other one is the PGA Championship, which he won in 1991. Daly's British Open victory came in 1995 at St. Andrews, when he beat Italy's Costantino Rocca in a playoff.
Daly said he could begin rehabbing the elbow in September, and possibly return to competition later in the year.
The news was upsetting for the Arkansas native because of the site of this year's Open Championship. "I hate missing the British Open, especially at Muirfield. It's one of the best (courses) on the planet."
He also said he was getting in a bit of a groove this season before re-aggravating the injury at the Greenbrier. "What really sucks about this is that I was getting ready to play seven in a row, and that's when I played my best golf last year."

Some things I just don't understand.

Like why anyone would be using a 386 in 2013 (which it almost is). The "last ones" were made in 2007 - which is about to be 6 years ago - but in 2007, we already had Core 2 Duos, so I don't know what they were being used for even then. 386 is an 80s chip! Unless you got some missions critical data on a 30 year old computer - (I'm sure I'm looking at you US Government) - you should not be using a 386 in 2013. Or 2007. Or any year starting with a 2.

If you do have missions critical stuff on a computer not made this millennia - start getting it off of there immediately. What is your problem?

UPMC researcher's death draws national attention as investigation continues
An investigation into the death of Dr. Autumn Marie Klein is drawing national attention but providing few answers into what led to the demise of the prominent UPMC researcher.
"We're going to go ahead with the investigation that's been started," said Dr. Karl Williams, Allegheny County medical examiner. "The attention of the national media doesn't have any effect on progress, as far as I'm concerned."
Major television networks, including CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, planned coverage of the mysterious April 20 death of Klein, 41, chief of women's neurology at UPMC. Klein died in UPMC Presbyterian three days after collapsing in her Schenley Farms home from a toxic amount of cyanide.
"Right now, cause and manner are still pending," Williams said.
Investigators determined Klein walked home from work on April 17, then collapsed in the home she shared with her husband, Dr. Robert Ferrante, 64, a University of Pittsburgh researcher, and their daughter, Cianna, 6.
Ferrante, co-director of the Center for ALS Research and a visiting professor of neurological surgery at Pitt, called emergency dispatchers for assistance.
Ferrante has not commented publicly. He has hired former U.S. Attorney J. Alan Johnson, a prominent criminal defense lawyer, and Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, noted forensic pathologist.
During the weekend, Pittsburgh police searched the couple's Lytton Avenue home. Investigators removed computers, cell phones and vacuum cleaners, among other items. Also examined was Ferrante's office in the Pittsburgh VA hospital in Oakland.
Veterans Affairs spokesman David Cowgill did not return a message seeking comment.
"Both Pitt and UPMC have received subpoenas, and we are cooperating fully with investigators," UPMC spokeswoman Gloria Kreps said. She declined to specify where police searched.
District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. said investigators obtained as many as a dozen search warrants. Detectives are looking into Ferrante's use of cyanide as a researcher.
"Some of the process pertains to the acquisition of cyanide," Zappala said.
Johnson did not return a message seeking comment. Wecht said national attention can add pressure on police.
"It should not have any effect, in terms of what's there scientifically," Wecht said. "Science is science."
Charles Davis, a professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, said national media attention has little effect on investigations and trials. Television shows such as Anderson Cooper and Nancy Grace can create a "tsunami of publicity."
"I don't think they pay one ounce of attention to (Grace) or Cooper," Davis said of law enforcement. "They just have a job to do."
In addition to her role at UPMC, Klein was an assistant professor of neurology, obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Pitt. She treated pregnant women with neurological problems such as headaches and seizures and was recruited by the neurological surgery chairman in 2011.

And mind you, this is basic olive oil. Extra virgin will perform even better. If you infuse it with an herb like rosemary, the oxidation resistance goes even higher.In one study, the authors heated various oils to "deep-frying conditions" and checked oxidative markers every three hours. The olive oils made it 24-27 hours of constant high heating before reaching the maximum legal value of heat damage. Not bad, and it's not like you're going to use your olive oil to deep fry anyway.
I'm not sure why anyone would need to try over 400 degrees F. Deep frying is done around 360 degrees F. If you go hotter, it'll cook the outside too fast and leave the inside raw. If you go lower, it'll absorb too much oil and be a greasy mess.
For this temperature, extra virgin olive oil is useable. My personal favorite is ghee. It doesn't smoke til ~400 degrees, maybe a touch over, so it's pretty stable, the SFA content is super high with next to no PUFA so it is very resistant to oxidation and the flavor goes with everything. Of course, I don't deep fry often. The hotter you go, the more at risk for carcinogens your food becomes.

David Bruce: Millcreek man avoids several scams
Ted Grow has seen just about every type of scam over the past couple of years.
Last summer a young man called the 91-year-old Millcreek Township man and told him that Grow's grandson, Matt, was arrested in Mexico and needed $700 in bail money. The caller knew a little bit about his grandson, which made the story seem authentic at first.
"He knew what Matt looked like and said Matt drove down there with a friend," Grow said. "I was ready to send him a check when I came up with the idea to ask the guy to tell me the name of Matt's youngest brother. Then I heard a click. The guy hung up."
Criminals have also called Grow and told him he had won $1 million in a foreign lottery. All he needed to claim the prize was to send a check for $380 to cover the taxes.
Grow told the guy he was busy and call back the next day. Then Grow called his son, an accountant, and asked him how much taxes would there be on a $1 million lottery prize.
A lot more than $380, his son told him.
"The guy called back in a couple of days and said he could decrease the amount of money I had to send for taxes," Grow said. "I said no, and he finally quit calling."
Another time Grow received a notice from his mail carrier that he had a package waiting for him at the post office. It was a large envelope that contained another envelope, which had two personal checks written out to Grow for more than $7,000.
Grow, who didn't recognize the name on the checks, took them to his bank and asked to see the manager. The manager told him not to cash the checks.
"He got on his computer and found out the address on the checks was an empty lot," Grow said. "He said if I had cashed the checks, they would have gotten my account number and would have drained everything out of my bank accounts."
Older people like Grow are often the target of scammers because they are believed to have significant money in their accounts, according to the National Council on Aging. They also can be more trusting.
Grow, whom I have known for decades as the father of one my oldest friends, is still sharp enough to see through scams.
"Don't be in a rush to send strangers money," Grow said.
Anyone who thinks they have been contacted by a scammer should call their local police or the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office at (800) 441-2555, or file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org.

I've been reading a bit on this board, and still don't know what to do or if your advice applies to me so here goes...
BG My brother has aspergers (mild form of autism) and my mom has always acted like that is why he's so bad, but really I think it's because he's always gotten away with everything. So when I was in high school (around the time he was 14) cops were called frequently cuz he would fight with my mom and push her. He went to juvie a couple times. Once I was laying on the couch and woke up with him holding a big kitchen knife above my head. I ran and left. I ended up dropping it cuz my mom acted like it wasn't a big deal. She was also dating a new guy who was a cop and I figured he would run off if he knew everything and my mom already blamed me for her last divorce. I just stopped going home when my mom wasn't there.
They ended up getting married, moved to a big house. I got pregnant and moved into their basement. I was going to school and my mom and step-dad babysat. I knew she didn't want to watch DD for anything extra (like DH and I going out), but I didn't expect her to and it was weird having babysitters come over when everyone was upstairs so we didn't do anything. My brother mostly stayed in his room and we didn't really have any problems.
DH and I moved out almost 2 years ago. In the past 6 months my brother's been admitted to mental hospitals at least 4 times. My step-dad recently said he "took him down" because he thought my brother was going to attack my mom.
About a month ago my mom said she called the cops on him cuz he was destroying her property and freaking out and yelling. He ended up going to jail until she got him transferred to a mental hospital. She said she didn't want to tell me that because I "use everything against him" so I feel like she is not/will not tell me different things. When she told me all this, things she was saying sounded like she blamed it on me. She said the night before he was saying that he's so upset cuz I don't talk to him and she kept saying I am so mean to him. We ended up getting in a fight while we were in the car with my stepdad and I said something about the knife incident that happened years ago. She denied it and said if that would have happened she would have remembered. When we got home my stepdad and DD went outside and my mom started talking about the knife incident and we talked about it 2 weeks before. Point is she didn't forget, but lied in front of my step dad so he didn't find out.
Once when I was over he came out of his room and was asking my mom to buy him something. DD was singing/yelling and he told her to shut up. My mom didn't think I heard and said "Don't say that" in a hushed voice. Well I was mad and left, but she still says that she handled it. My biggest problem is that if I hadn't heard, my mom wouldn't have told me. Since then, I don't let DD over there without me because I don't know what my mom is going to let slide with him.
DH works 90 hours a week and DD and I get board and go to my moms frequently. My brother for the most part stays in his room, but there are quite a few times when we hurry and leave.
My mom says I am being immature and that I think this because I don't like him. She acts like I am blowing everything out of proportion and sometimes I feel like I am because there are lots of little things too. She says that I used her for a babysitter and now that I don't need her DD can't go there without me.
Am I justified to not let DD over there? Tomorrow there is a family bday party an hour and a half away. My mom knows I will not go in the car with my brother, but will ask me anyway. So I either make an excuse or tell her I'm not going with him and she will make a big deal to family which is embarrassing. But am I overreacting and should I ride with them?
I'm due in February and my mom wants to stay in the hospital until I go home, which is fine. DH will have to work so will only be around from like 10pm to 9am. I have no other family or IL to babysit so either I let my babysitter (who has become a good friend) take her with the carseat while I'm at the hospital (which I'm not really comfortable with, but don't feel like I can ask her to stop everything and take off work since we can only pay little) and DH will go home with DD at night so won't be at the hospital at all. Or my step dad will take off work and stay at their house with DD (and my brother will be there).
If you made it this far I hope you can understand everything. I feel like there is so much more that I don't know how to say and can't stop rambling. So any advice?
EDITED to change title

From Fiddler on the Roof to the Blues — that is the start of Chris Duarte's start in music and finally to be recognized as one of the best blues guitarists in the world.
And Duarte will be bringing his magical Texas Style blues to the historic Stanhope House for a special performance on Wednesday, June 4. The Stanhope House is on Main Street in Stanhope. Tickets for the show are just $15 in advance.
Duarte was born in San Antonio and was first inspired by music at age 8 after seeing Fiddler on television. He first began playing on his brother's guitar and then obtained his own electric guitar at the age of 14. In 1979, Duarte moved to Austin and purchased a 1963 Fender Stratocaster guitar for $500 and began exploring various genres including the before finding blues as his style of choice.
Duarte soon after won a recording contract with Silvertone Records and released Texas Sugar/Strat Magik in 1994, and was immediately named "Best New Talent" in Guitar Player's 1995 Reader's Poll. He finished fourth in the magazine's "Best Blues Guitarist" category behind Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B.B. King. He remains among the top blues guitarists of all time.

Majority of Nokia's fan base still prefer QWERTY
0. phoneArena 11 Aug 2012, 10:28 posted on
Nokia recently ran a poll over at the Conversations by Nokia blog to determine what input method their readers favored. Users had the choice between QWERTY, Touchscreen, Number keypad, or Voice command...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Nokia or somebody needs to copy the design of the now defunct Dell Venue Pro. I wanted that design SO BADLY but the Dell lack of support and commitment kept me away.
4. amancarlos (Posts: 42; Member since: 09 May 2012)
i use the dell venue pro and nokia e63, qwertys are the same, though i developed extra muscles in my hand using DVP.
btw, international DVP is still getting updates. i think, it'll also get wp7.8
18. cdgoin (Posts: 533; Member since: 28 Jul 2010)
My sons and I all have Dell Venue Pros and I have bought 3 more for the future. I love it and its' form factor. I am crossing my fingers that Nokia and Windows realize properly promoted a Dell Venue Pro like device could make the WindowsPhone experience different. ALL smartphones right now are the same.. and there is no real compelling reason for a customer to get a Windows phone over a Andriod or iOS.. if they are comfortable with those systems. BUT if they had a QWERTY slider with a touch screen.. THEN there would be a phone that is DIFFERENT.. I am so hoping they do that, or maybe HTC.. and make it available for ALL (or at minimum AT&T Tmobile and Verizon)

We users naturally want more choice, but the manufacturers need us to support them with our wallets, not spiritual encouragement.
The survey is flaw b-c it did not mention the higher cost and thickness of KB.

5. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i hear you buddy.. but for smartphone at high end price.. for me, no... maybe nokia should put it on low end market!!!
7. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Agree with you, I'm even don't like Symbian. My comment was just related to article titles "Majority of Nokia's fan base still prefer QWERTY". :)
15. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
and instead of the good looking yet aweful s40 touch.. it still lacks some apps and features like multitalksing to be called smartphone! nokia is trying to push the asha line to defend against android.. but android is a smartphone OS but squized to low end and cheap market!
if they just consider of putting symbian on low end.. i think they can really go head to head with android in low end... symbian has at least a 100 000 apps on nokia store while s40 only have 25000 and its all java...
23. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
i agree with you unlike Android Symbian can run better on low specs
28. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
totally agree... symbian isnt a battery hog like android and it is really good at multitasking!
and symbian can run fluidly on 800mhz processor becuase it dont need latest processors of being 1.5ghz processor, dual core and quad core!!
i mean what's the point of 1ghz processor on asha but it cant do multitask? POINTLESS!!!
the nokia 701 is also running with 1ghz processor and it can multitask fluidly!!!
nokia is really making me sick of making bad decisions!! i think im a good CEO than elop... im not even studying business course!
10. CharlieAtInfinity (Posts: 253; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
I agree with you :D Symbian was good even though it had few shortcomings.. :(
its a lot easier to type on phones with physical keyboard though!! at least for me i can type without looking on a phone with physical keyboard like a blackberry or the nokia E Series phones

His comment is a sarcastic one.

My comment?
30. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
no what he says is true! nokia is define by symbian... people think a lumia device is a different brand coz its not the same nokia people get use to and not familiar with flips (i wonder why microsoft didnt name it FLIP UI better than modern UI or worst WINDOWS 8 UI) and honestly i myself when i first look at lumia, think lumia is a new phone brand... since it doesnt look anything that i use to see on a nokia device!
even PhoneArenaUser isnt a nokia fan or pro symbian what he said is correct!
22. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
correction: "majority of Nokia fans still prefer Meego*
26. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Correction: Majority of Nokia fans never had used MeeGo. ;)
29. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
hate to admit but this it true!! symbian is what nokia is... maemo/meego never had a chance to show what they got with nokia.. not even market the n9 right.. even though a lot of tech sites and tech people fell in love with it..
nokia is being blind!!! and STUPID! and BULLs**t!
6. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
for QWERTY keypad i prefer BlackBerry next is nokia.... but QWERTY nokia looks great.. but now, i prefer touch screen! :)
9. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Yup same here
16. maverick786us (Posts: 148; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
yes over the touchscreen an old outdated keypad is useless. Yes a complete QWERTY keyboard is good over on screen keyboard as it is needed for fast typing
8. maverick786us (Posts: 148; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
QWERTY Keyboard is fine. But a numeric keypad is a CRAP! outdated obsolete and should be discontinued completely
11. StreetNerd (Posts: 819; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
if said this before:
WP8+E7 design= WIN WIN WIN FAP FAP FAP ^^
12. fashion_m (Posts: 6; Member since: 08 Aug 2012)
I also prefer QWERTY.
17. Johnnokia (Posts: 1093; Member since: 27 May 2012)
If you do another survey about the OS, the title would be :-
90% of Nokia's fans wanna see Nokia adopting Android
24. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
No they want nokia to adopt meego back
20. Dunknown (Posts: 84; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)
I would suggest that Nokia should combine the QWERTY and touch screen together. At the same time user could experience the QWERTY and the touch on their mobile perhaps windows phone os could be installed in it.
25. Glim12808 (Posts: 394; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I preferred QWERTY keyboards before until I started using WP touch screen keyboards. Now, I prefer to use virtual KBs in Windows Phones.
31. qwertypoor (Posts: 72; Member since: 09 Jun 2012)
I want wp8 on e7 design to but I think Nokia should've bought webos think they could've made it great just my opinion
32. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i think the reason why windows phone let go of windows mobile because they want to go full touch screen..
but yeah... nokia should have bought webOS instead of HP... HP make webOS terrible! HP is also making bad decisions now!!
but i like the ideo of open source webOS!
33. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
Imho side sliders is the way to go cos of larger keys, wish nokia had one like that...
37. jack1059 (Posts: 72; Member since: 31 Mar 2012)
How about "The majority of Nokia's fan base still prefer a proprietary OS" or "The majority of Nokia's fan base want Nokia to give meego a decent shot", or "The majority of Nokia's fan base still prefer all the functionality of older Nokia phones". With any of these, and your, headlines. Its pointless. Aint gonna happen under current leadership. Facts, user opinions, sales, marketshare, share price, etc. Its windows phone all the way, regardless of the above.

GEF Council Decides on Further Consultations on Resource Allocation Framework
19 November 2004: The GEF Council, which met from 17-19 November in Washington DC, took decisions on: the process for monitoring and evaluation relations with Council and other entities; action plan to respond to recommendations of the project performance review; management response to the review of GEF's engagement with the private sector; programme studies on biodiversity, climate change and international waters; the OPS3 inception report; the four year work plan; verification of replenishment targets; fourth replenishment of the GEF Trust Fund; work programme; institutional relations; resource allocation framework; business plan; amendments to the instrument; climate change funds; and recommendations of the working group on medium-sized projects.
The expected decision on the GEF's resource allocation framework was deferred to the June 2005 Council meeting, where the three motions tabled by Council Members will be negotiated. In this regard, the Secretariat has been requested to facilitate further consultations on the framework in early March 2005. The Council also took a decision on the development of a private sector strategy, agreeing that such a strategy should be based on an analysis of the barriers to private sector participation in the GEF and means to overcome those barriers. The Council will consider the Strategy at its December 2005 meeting.
On the Small Grants Programme (SGP), the Council agreed to an increase in funding to US$47 million for the first year of GEF SGP OP3 (mid-February 2005 to mid-February 2006). Regarding desertification, the Council requested the Secretariat to circulate the draft memorandum of understanding describing arrangements to facilitate collaboration between the GEF and the UNCCD for further consideration at its June 2005 meeting. On the UNFCCC climate change funds, the Council endorsed its programming document as an operational basis for funding of activities under the Special Climate Change Fund. The Council deferred its consideration of agenda items on: land degradation; the process for selecting the CEO/Chairman of the Facility; and other business.[GEF November 2004 Council meeting documents]

"That was bad."
That's what I heard a fan saying as he walked out in front of me. Simple, succinct and entirely correct. That was bad. Very, very bad.
I'd also accept horrible, awful, tragic, disgusting, pathetic, sickening, terrible and cruel. Yeah, cruel. I like that one. I'm going with cruel.
I honestly don't even know what to point to. I don't know who to blame. When you blow a 15-point lead with five minutes left in a must-win playoff game, it's everybody's fault. Right down to the ballboys and security guards. I want to grab Tony Brothers and shake him for calling such a touch foul in such a big moment, but it's not even worth it. It should've never, ever come to that. Scoring two points in the final five minutes is nobody's fault but your own.
The Thunder led 99-84 with 5:05 to go. After that, the Mavs outscored them 28-6, including overtime. It started the second James Harden fouled out. It was a dumb backcourt foul with the Mavs in the bonus. Once that happened, the collapse started. That was the first pebble getting kicked off the hilltop. From that second on, the avalanche was on.
You can talk about how the Thunder will learn from this and how they're young. Screw that. They blew it. They blew Game 4 at home in a must-win situation. They were ahead 15 points with five minutes to go and they lost. The only thing you learn from that is that you choked away a win. They were supposed to learn from letting Game 3 against the Grizzlies slip away. Evidently, they didn't. Heck, that was just a 10-point fourth quarter lead. They're actually getting worse.
Think about this game. The Thunder came out rolling early and fought off a few Dallas comebacks. The first lead Dallas had in this game came in overtime. The Thunder dominated this game. They pretty much won this game. At least they should have. That's all you can say. They should have won this game. How you can ever dream of coming back from a loss like this is hard to imagine.
Get used to this. It's part of it. This is part of having a team that you love dearly, that you make yourself a part of. It hurts when bad things happen. It's not always good and fun. It's year three and this team is young. If we're lucky, there's going to be a lot more heartbreaking moments over the next 50 years. You think Blazer fans are over their Game 7 collapse against the Lakers? It happens. And you won't get over it. The only way you will is if the Thunder pulls off a stunner and wins this series somehow. The chances of that happening, well, aren't good.
Game 4 was a meltdown. Plain and simple. I suppose the series isn't over, but for it to go down like this, man, what do you say? To have this kind of bad taste in your mouth after what could very well be the last home game of the season is a complete shame. This is why sports suck. You invest yourself so much emotionally, you live and breathe through a team and just when they've got you back to believing, your heart is shattered. It's what jades people. It's what makes you forget about what a magical season it's been and how good we've had it.
But because of five terrible minutes all of that goodwill will be forgotten, at least until a few weeks go by and we can all regain perspective. Or I guess the Thunder could shock the world, win Game 5 in Dallas and bring it back to Oklahoma City for one more shot at redemption. We can hope.
- The Thunder were up 12 when Harden fouled out. They scored six points the next 9:34. Harden's not a miracle worker. He had just seven points. But having that extra creator on the floor obviously makes so much difference. Just the spacing is key. That's why it was hard not to wonder why Daequan Cook wasn't subbed in for Thabo in the overtime. But Brooks was going to try and win with stops and hope Durant and Westbrook scored just enough to win.
- KD: "I feel upset because I feel that I let the fans down, that I let the city down."
- That last possession in regulation was a complete disaster. You can blame Scott Brooks for it, but KD just took a dumb shot. There were 3.2 seconds on the clock when he pulled up for it and he was 30 feet from the basket and off balance. How that's Scott Brooks' fault, I do not know.
- Because I'm a biased homer, I mean really Tony Brothers? Really? In that moment you call THAT foul? I guess we shouldn't have expected anything less from you, but good grief man. Good grief.
- The box score is so messed up. OKC outrebounded Dallas 55-33 and had 20 offensive boards. OKC turned it over 26 times. The Thunder took nine more shots and hit almost 47 percent and lost.
- One stat that really tells you things is that after KD hit a 3 to make it 99-84, the Thunder as a team were 2-5 from deep. After that, OKC went 0-8 from 3. That's what happens to the Thunder offense when it goes bad. Guys start chucking 3s because it's the only thing they're remotely open for.
- The worst play of the game in my mind was OKC's second to last possession in regulation. The Thunder were up two and had a chance to seal it. The different in the shot clock and game clock was about eight seconds. KD attacked too early, kicked to a semi-open Thabo in the corner who for some reason decided to take a pretty wild, off balance 3 with seven on the shot clock. Not only was it a dumb shot, but it was way too early. That sequence says it all.
- Also big: Westbrook's two missed free throws.
- There are so many different notes that I had written down that don't mean anything now. Like how the Thunder did a great job taking control to start the fourth. Like how great Nick Collison was once again. Like how well Durant rebounded. Like how good the Thunder's defense was the first eight minutes of the fourth. But all that doesn't matter anymore. For shame.
- Someone tweeted me a good solution for OKC's starting lineup issues: Just have Collison and Harden start each game at the scorer's table. Problem solved, right?
- KD didn't have all the buckles buckled on his backpack tonight. I think that says it all. He was heartbroken.
- The Thunder's four points in overtime came from a Thabo jumper and an Ibaka jumper. What the crap?
- This Mavs comeback doesn't happen though without them hitting some really incredible shots. Dirk hit a tough pull-up 3. Then a lucky, awkward shot where he was trying to draw a foul. Then Jason Kidd hits a leaning 3 in overtime to give Dallas a three-point lead. Sometimes, it just goes right for people.
- Brooks talked starting five again before the game: "If you give a young team instability you're going to get very inconsistent results," he said. "I'm a consistent guy. I believe in consistency. I know that's the talk but, I'm glad my wife doesn't listen to you guys, because she wants to keep the same husband she's had for 18 years."
- There's going to be a lot of breaking down and finger pointing for what happened in Game 4. Russell Westbrook will likely shoulder some blame. Kevin Durant might take some. Scott Brooks will get a lot. But like I said, the team lost this game. Blame who you want, yell and gripe if it makes you feel better. The Thunder lost this game because they didn't finish a game they had won for 44 minutes. Plain and simple. Blaming someone is always part of a difficult loss, but I don't think anyone one person is responsible.
- Another super weird halftime show. It was impressive, yeah, but man was it awkwardly weird.
- KD had nine turnovers. Westbrook six.
- Serge Ibaka returned to form finally. He had 18 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.
- KD was roughed up off the ball like something else tonight. He couldn't get anything called in his favor. When officials let guys defend Durant that way, it limits him about 40 percent offensively.
- Rick Carlisle was impressed by Thunder fans: "We need our building to be as loud as this building. It's as simple as that. This is a fantastic place to play a playoff game because of the level of enthusiasm, noise — I mean those were getting beat and they were going to lose and the place is yelling 'O-K-C! O-K-C!'. The fans are beyond belief." So there's something to take with you.
- Oklahoma City, now 26-7 in bounce back games.
Next up: Game 5 in Dallas Wednesday night.

Reported a couple of posts for abuse. When I went back into the forum later on, I see in the overview that a moderator has "replied" to the posts reported. When I go in to the actual posts, there is no actual reply and the reported posts are still there. Have seen this behaviour in both of the reported posts. Wonder what that is all about.
The thread's get either locked or moved to T&P forum based on the standard of the question. The thread's which belong to the second category cannot be locked. As there is no proper T&P forum in new SCN, it cannot be moved. Hope you understand.
Put down your reports & let the Mod's decide what has to be done.
I am quite happy to let the Mods decide what has to be done, but I would also like to see what has been done - It would help me decide if I need to improve the quality of my abuse reports or even stop them altogether. NOt knowing what has been done baffles me, and the posts are still there.
Send a direct message to the moderator and get the clarity . I did the same
Hi Harish,
Sorry for misreading your post. It's the same bug I have posted here http://scn.sap.com/thread/3152920
IN addition to the notification being misleading, I cannot even see any action - no comments are appended to the post, links are not removed, the post is still there.. Even if I assume "replied" means "edited" I should be able to see some evidence of editing.
Just one more thing, I guess, of the new SCN. Since you have already raised a bug report, it may be looked into eventually, so we will wait and see.
Can you post an example of a thread you reported and no action was taken? I will have a look and point it out in the moderator forum.
I understand it is discouraging if your efforts in this respect seem to be in vain. Generally it is possible of course that a post is left untouched after review, but this should not be the rule, if your reports are reliable.
Hi Thomas, Looks like I cannot send a Direct Message to you, as you are not following me.
Anyway, I went to copy the post url just now, and I now find the offending links removed and the moderators comments are visible. Looks like the moderator has been reading this forum too. I participated in that thread twice myself, and I am pretty sure the post was intact even yesterday. Anyway, seems like I now longer have a case..

An Agua Dulce man convicted last month of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for the death of his neighbor is expected to be tried a second time for murder in February, court officials said Wednesday.
On Oct. 17, a jury found 65-year-old Dennis Keene guilty of causing injury while driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood alcohol level exceeding the legal limit causing injury, as well as gross vehicular manslaughter.
But the six-man, six-woman jury in Lancaster Superior Court could not reach a verdict on the fourth charge of murder.
"We met recently and decided it was likely going to be re-tried and now we have a new pre-trial date," said Deputy District Attorney Susan Choi.
Keene is expected to appear in Antelope Valley Superior Court Jan. 15.
Jury selection for his re-trial on the murder charge is expected to begin shortly after that, with the actual new murder trial expected to get under way in February.
In February 2012, Keene was charged with murder and drunken driving in the August 2011 crash that killed his neighbor Lori Lindlief, 55, while she was walking her dogs on an Agua Dulce street.

On Venezuela's coup anniversary, the big question: Who's in control?
Today is the anniversary of Hugo Chavez's failed 1992 coup attempt against then-President Carlos Andres Perez. Chavez was an army lieutenant colonel at the time of the coup, and he was responsible for deaths and blood spilled in his attempt to subvert democracy and seize power by force. The guy should still be in prison. Instead, through a bizarre turn of events, he is president of Venezuela.
Well, kindasorta.
Chavez has some kind of ill-defined cancer affecting his pelvic region. He has traveled repeatedly to Cuba for medical treatment. The last time he left Venezuela, in early December, he issued a statement strongly suggesting that his planned surgery was risky and that he might not survive. His condition went from bad to worse. He developed a respiratory infection, and rumors swirled that he was in a coma. He has not been seen or heard from since the operation.
There is no proof that he's even alive. We have second-hand reassurances from top aides who have visited him in Cuba that he's alive and conscious. Today, former Cuban President Fidel Castro offered more second-hand assurances, saying that he receives daily updates on Chavez's condition and that the reports are positive. Castro did not claim to have visited Chavez personally and seen for himself. And it's not clear whether Castro would tell the truth if he knew that Chavez's condition was, in fact, deteriorating.
What's more dangerous, in my opinion, is the power vacuum that exists back home. Chavez's aides produced a document that, they claim, he signed from his hospital bed. On its face, the red-ink signature appears to be bogus. It doesn't bear any of the signs of shakiness and infirmity, as someone who's spent weeks in the hospital would naturally be expected to show.
Chavez missed his own inauguration. The Supreme Court he manipulated into existence ruled that he didn't have to take the oath of office on the constitutionally prescribed inauguration date and that it could be postponed indefinitely. So he gets to be president without actually having to abide by the constitution — much like the twisted reasoning he used in 1992 to justify the subversion of democracy in order to seize power militarily. Why let the pesky details of democracy get in the way?
Vice President Nicolas Maduro has essentially assumed the powers of the presidency. For all Venezuelans know, he and others are behind "signed" presidential decrees bearing Chavez's signature such as one on Sunday authorizing the government to nationalize a private petroleum company, Petrocabimas. If Maduro were to run for election on his own without the presence of the highly charismatic Chavez to inspire voters, it's doubtful he would win. But with the power of the presidential signature, Maduro can do just about whatever he wants, it seems. So on the anniversary of the failed Chavez coup, we might very well be witnessing a real coup.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Health Center
Supplements for IBS: What Works?
Fiber Supplements for IBS
Research into the role of fiber supplements in treating IBS symptoms is conflicting, with some finding no benefit, a few finding that added fiber to the diet causes bloating and gas, and a handful reporting that soluble fiber helps IBS patients with constipation and diarrhea.
A recent study found that psyllium, a soluble fiber, provided significant pain relief for IBS patients with constipation and/or diarrhea. Another found that psyllium has limited effect on constipation and abdominal pain.
Schiller says some of his IBS patients get relief from diarrhea and constipation with products containing psyllium, whether in the form of powder, tablets, breakfast bars, or cookies. There's no difference in their safety or effectiveness, he says.
Low Dog often prescribes psyllium for constipation, and if it aggravates constipation, which it can do until the body has enough of it and water, she'll add magnesium citrate to the mix to counteract the initial constipating effect of psyllium. She recommends powdered psyllium seed husks that can be mixed with liquid. "I also like psyllium because of its cardiovascular benefits. Any good fiber you can get, I like," Low Dog says.
Guar gum, also a soluble fiber that thickens food, shows some promise for IBS symptoms. David Rakel, MD, of the University of Wisconsin School of Public Health and Medicine, says he recommends supplements for patients to aid digestion.
Calcium polycarbophil, which is another soluble fiber, may help with diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and bloating from IBS, according to a few studies. Schiller says that calcium polycarbophil supplements harden and soften stools, making it an effective supplement for mild diarrhea and constipation related to IBS.
Herbal Supplements for IBS
Peppermint oil may lessen diarrhea symptoms by slowing fecal transit time.
Research is fairly solid on the subject, with one group of researchers concluding that peppermint oil is more effective and benign than drugs for GI spasm and could be a drug of first choice for IBS patients with mild constipation or diarrhea.
"Peppermint oil has better research than many pharmaceuticals for IBS," Rakel says.
For IBS patients who don't tolerate peppermint, a chamomile-pectin combination works well, Low Dog says. Chamomile helps to relax colon muscles, Rakel says.

"Walking with my head down/ Counting every step/ Hoping that the next one/ Brings me closer to the man I was." So confesses Usher on the reflective title track of Looking 4 Myself, out today.
Could it be that, on his seventh album in 18 years, Usher Raymond IV is suffering from an existential identity crisis?
Never fear, folks: The almighty star confidently displays various sides of himself, proving that he can be all things to all people with another R&B-pop blockbuster.
He's the Ibiza-ready club kid on electro thumpers like current single "Scream" and the Swedish House Mafia-produced "Euphoria" that build on the success of "OMG," "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" and "Without You" (with David Guetta).
He's also the silky-smooth loverman on ambient slow jams like the hit "Climax" and the P.M. Dawn-esque "Dive," showing, as he lays on his creamy falsetto, that he's a better singer than ever (despite occasionally toying with Auto-Tune).
Then he's the old-school soul man on the funky James Brown-ish "Twisted" and "Sins of My Father," which, produced by Amy Winehouse collaborator Salaam Remi, inspires Usher to look for the Marvin Gaye inside of him.

I hope you all had a great weekend. I did! It was super-busy, with lots of stuff going on, but it was relaxing, and now I'm ready for the work-week ahead. What did you all do?
I wanted to show you all photos that my client recently sent me of her daughter's finished nursery that I painted a while back. This room is in a loft in midtown in Atlanta, right on Peachtree street. I have done a few stencil projects in this loft for the same client, so she called me again when she found out she was pregnant, and had to decorate a nursery!
I love the way the nursery turned out. When I was there stenciling it, nothing had been done except the walls being painted yellow. I asked her to please send me photos of the room when it was finished, and all of the furniture was in, and she did!
I love the soft, delicate look of her furniture and color choices, paired with the cement loft ceilings and ductwork. Very cool!
Her furniture is from Restoration Hardware Baby, and isn't it pretty?
My Morrocan stencil is one that I use a lot, and I actually have it available for sale, in my Etsy shop!

If you are a steak fanatic, or know someone who is, these grass fed porterhouse steaks are the answer to a beef craving that won't quit. These large, bone-in steaks combine portions of two steakhouse favorites: the flavorful strip loin (strip steak) and the tremendously tender tenderloin. At 22 ounces each, they're almost two steaks in one!
Silver Fern brand grass fed beef is raised on the pristine pastures of New Zealand. With this beef, "grass fed" means 100% grass fed & grass finished. Silver Fern beef has been produced according to strict EU mandated animal welfare conditions. The cattle are pastured 100% of the time, with access to paddock areas with windbreaks and other structures for shelter from inclement weather.This beef is more marbled and flavorful than much of the grass fed beef available in the US. Read Why Angus Beef is So Well Regarded and The Different Ways Cattle are Raised for more information about what makes it so special.Not only is free range grass fed beef more humane, it's better for you too. 100% grass fed beef is lower in saturated fat as well as higher in valuable nutrients like vitamins A & E, conjugated linoleic acid (aka CLA), and omega-3 fatty acids.
They can also be served with steak sauces like red-wine reductions, béarnaise sauces, and cream based pan sauces. Try topping them with some sautéed fresh wild mushrooms for a real treat!
Meat & Seafood Sauce Recipes
For full cooking directions describing methods used by professional chefs to achieve the perfect steak, please read three techniques for cooking steaks.
Be sure to let these steaks rest (covered in foil and on a clean plate) for about five to ten minutes prior to serving or cutting. This allows their juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful steak.

Can you define these popular missing words?
When a guy is behind a girl and, without warning, sticks it in the ass. Upon the girls turning around in anger, he places his boxers on her head, appearing as a chef hat...hence, the angry chef
He wanted to get back at her and knew he wouldn't see her again, so he took a picture immediately after performing the angry chef

My husband, daughter and I were in Lima to visit our oldest daughter who was studying at a nearby university. The staff and Casa Bella was wonderful. The driver met us at the airport at 12:30 am. He was courteous, prompt and his vehicle was spotless. He drove us to and from the airport several times through out our stay. Our rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was the customary delicious breads and jam of Peru, however, they also offered and made eggs for us as we waited. We had some concerns about safety in Lima, but the San Isidro district is very safe and we felt comfortable walking around that district. Having never traveled internationally with my family before I left home with some nervous anticipation at what I would find for accommodations, but can only say positive things about the Casa Bella. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a bed and breakfast in Lima. Thank you, Casa Bella!

I could not recommend Casa Bella more highly. Firstly, (as we later learned) they are located in one of the safer and more popular districts of Lima. We stayed in a private double room. The rooms are large and the bathroom facilites are clean with nice hot showers. The common areas were comfortable and the staff are always willing to help, to the point where they dropped us off at shopping centres & sights on occasion through out our stay. You definately feel more like you are staying with friends, which is a a bonus when you are bed surfing your way through hostels and bed and breakfasts in South America.

HD-650's arrived today. Burning them in now. Will play with them on the Yamaha for a few weeks. My short list for amps is now Schiit Asgard, Little Dot Mk IV, and Bottlehead Crack. I also really like the Burson 160 but a little pricey for me.
Has anybody built a Bottleneck? Easy, hard? I'm worried I'll buy it, try to build it, and screw it up. Then I'll be out the money and the amp. On the flip side, looks like a lot of fun and a lot of value for the money.

7 Social Media Stories For The New YearCecily Kellogg
It's a new year, and as we return to "normal" (at least, those of us lucky enough to have our kids back in school, ahem) it's time to start thinking about refreshing our social media and biz knowledge for 2013.
Some good and interesting stuff is happening that you might have missed while spending time offline and with your families for the holiday seasons. I've gathered up the most interesting stories I've found everything from Twitter to taxes and put them together with some great resources for getting caught up.
Ready? Let's do this thing.
Facebook Still Leads In Engagement 1 of 7Yep, even with the immensely frustrating changes to Edgerank, Facebook still is the leading site for engagement for brands, even though Twitter often sees more activity. Check out this report from Spredfast to learn more.
Google Forcing You To Use Google+ 2 of 7Do you have a google account? Gmail? YouTube? Then you have a Google+ profile, and it is posting on your behalf. Yep, if you click a star on a Google listing for that restaurant you just enjoyed, it's posting to the profile you might have known you have. I was surprised to discover that I had more than one page because one of my clients used Google Apps for email and file management. Interestingly, the reason for this is that Google is trying to move away from the anonymous internet so that they can have what they need most your data.
Change How You Use Twitter 3 of 7I found article from Amber Naslund utterly fascinating. She unfollowed 34,000 followers on Twitter and instead moved the folks she was interested in following into lists where she can keep up with them but NOT allow them DM access. In other words, she wanted to control who had that instant access to her. She brings up an excellent point when she says, "a Twitter follow is not a validation of your worth as a human, nor is it a stamp of approval from someone online that you're awesome or not."
For more, you might want to also read her great article on the the fallacy of social media reciprocation.
New Social Network: Social Number 4 of 7I'm not the biggest fan of the anonymous internet, having felt its sting more than once in my blogging career. But if you are interested in that sort of thing, you can now sign up for a profile at Social Number, a new site that only assigns you a number and not a name. Let the vehemence begin!
Refresh Your SEO Knowledge 5 of 7Did you know that Google adjusts its algorithm every single day? Yes, really. If you want to keep track, SEOMoz has a great list of each change made.
Optimizing your content with relevant keywords is still a great way to boost traffic. Remind yourself of how to do keyword research and why it's important.
Taxes, Post 6 of 7Yep, the changes in the tax laws that created the ridiculousness in Washington this last few days might impact you. It could be some good news; some changes will put money back into your pockets, but some changes aren't so friendly for the self-employed. Educate yourself.
YouTube's Slick New Design 7 of 7So, YouTube has gone the way of a nicer layout with more white space. Why do you care? Because if you utilize YouTube in your messaging, video titles are now listed BELOW the video instead of above, making that thumbnail image you choose crucial. Be sure to check it out.
Cecily Kellogg also writes at her personal blog, Uppercase Woman.
Find her on Twitter, on Facebook, Pinterest, and on Google+.

Canes' Dyron Dye Reports NCAA
A University of Miami football player went to the Coral Gables, Fla. police department last week to report that the NCAA tried to coerce him in incriminating the school?s athletic department after the NCAA began looking into the school for possible violations.
Hurricane defensive end Dyron Dye and his attorney Darren Heitner filed an incident report on Friday in which Dye says he was being ?coerced? by former NCAA investigator Rich Johanningmeier to provide answers that would aid the NCAA?s attempts to confirm incriminating information in its investigation of the UM athletic department.

Snaking along a little-used section of the South Yuba Trail, hikers looked down at dramatic landscapes of the South Yuba River Canyon.
Wildflowers were in full bloom along the trail's edge, greeting hikers who followed local historian and author Hank Meals as he told the story of this place and pointed out bedrock mortars, mining sites and spellbinding views.
It's an easy to moderate 5-plus mile hike that Meals will lead June 7, and one of 14 guided outings on local trails during the annual Celebration of Trails.
Hosted by Bear Yuba Land Trust, more than 20 local organizations, outdoor experts and trails advocates are coming together to put together the event that coincides with National Trails Day, a date meant to encourage more people to get outdoors on local trails.
"When people engage with the wonder and beauty that surrounds us in a more personal encounter, then they are more likely to take responsibility for the health of the woodlands and wildlife and feel better about themselves, our community, and even the world at large," said Bear Yuba Land Trust Community Program Manager Melony Vance.
For four years, Vance has organized BYLT's busy trekking calendar and this year has put together a schedule featuring 70 treks. To date, the Land Trust has built 35 miles of local trails.
"One of the main reasons people move here is to have easier access to the great outdoors. We organize outings to introduce these trails to the community so they can get out and experience nature in a safe way," Vance said.
Awareness about the health and economic benefits of outdoor recreation and the abundance and accessibility of local trails is a big part of the event. There are outings for people of all ages and levels of mobility.
A Trails Day Headquarters will be set up at Nevada County's Rood Center from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., with trail information, maps and trekking schedules.
Many outing leaders will meet participants at the Trails Day Headquarters. Choose from a family friendly wheelchair accessible nature hunt, numerous guided hikes in varying degrees of difficulty all over the county, bike rides for beginner, intermediate and experienced riders, a downtown tour and an equestrian ride.
Partners in this year's trails day event include: BONC, Far West Geoscience Foundation, FREED, Friends of Spenceville, Gold Country Trails Council, Living Wild, Hank Meals, Matteo's Public, Mendocino Tahoe Conservancy, Nevada City Chamber of Commerce, Nevada City Nisenan, Nevada County Planning Department, Nevada County Walkers, OLALA Farms, Outside Inn, Ray Bryars, Sierra Club, Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters, Sierra Streams Institute, State Parks, Tahoe National Forest, The Sierra Fund, Tour of Nevada City Bicycle Shop and YBONC.
"Great trails make for great communities. I believe our local trails are especially varied - we have deep canyons and mixed forests, steep creeks and big meadows, plus relics from first peoples and historic mining leftovers," said Ellen Lapham, an avid bicyclist and member of BONC.
Lapham helped organize three mountain bike outings and a booth at the trails day headquarters. BONC collaborates with community groups to build and maintain multi-use recreation trails throughout the county. She, like many, would like to see more being done to make Nevada County an outdoor recreation destination – a "trail town."
"We have wonderful wilderness assets as well as 'urban' pathways to draw people in," she said.
Nevada City's historic downtown will be the focus of such "urban pathways," with two tree tours led by Arborist Zeno Acton and Native Plant Society member Roger McGehee. The all-abilities tours are open to everyone, including families and will make numerous stops along the way.
"We're going to have two really exciting tree specialists," said Mary Cahill, founder of Nevada County Walkers who helped organize the tours.
Walkability advocate Ray Bryars will lead a walk to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. He believes local trails are a community asset benefiting the population's physical and mental health and gives a boost to the local economy.
"Visitors come to see Empire Mine, Bridgeport, the Yuba, etc. where they might take a nice hike to build up an appetite for a nice meal in one of our fine restaurants," Bryars said. Besides encouraging his community to stay active, Bryars enjoys introducing family and friends to trails when they come visit and he commonly meets new friends when out walking. "We are blessed to live in such a beautiful place where local trails give us an opportunity to enjoy nature so close to home," he said.
Trails Day Headquarters will be in the parking lot of Nevada County's Rood Center, across from the trail head of the Hirschman Trail.
People can stop by for local trail information and maps, grab a cup of coffee and a baked good from Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters and pick up the day's schedule.
Booths include: Bear Yuba Land Trust with manzanita cider provided by Living Wild, BONC, Nevada County Planning Department, Tahoe National Forest, YBONC and more. After an introduction by local dignitaries, a number of outings will depart on foot, bike, wheelchair and carpool from the Rood Center.
