With the Enprani Face Designer Auto Pat, my large pores were instantly concealed and my skin tone looked revitalized and radiant.
Usually, my foundation will start streaking after a couple of hours but the good set has prevented my foundation from sliding too early by blending it evenly onto my skin. So I had a dewy and fresh look for hours! The vibrating action had also made me feel more awake which consequently energized my dull looking complexion.
Besides a smoother and cleaner foundation application, the applicator also acts as a face masseur to give your skin that added softness and smooth texture. You may also use the machine to apply your moisturizers and night creams. The vibrating motion will help moisturizers penetrate deeply into the skin layers for maximum hydration. – Sep 14, 2012

Anthony Hitchens, Iowa linebacker
Where he went: Lorain native Hitchens was drafted in Saturday's fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys at pick No. 119. He was the 12th linebacker taken and the second from Iowa, after teammate Christian Kirksey went to the Browns in the third round.
How it went down: A Clearview High School grad, Hitchens went to Iowa as a running back before moving to linebacker. He took over as a starter as a junior and led the Big Ten in tackles in 2012, and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten as both a junior and a senior. Going in the fourth round was higher than most analysts had projected for Hitchens.
How he fits: The Cowboys' website showed the phone call the team made to Hitchens when he was drafted, including linebackers coach Matt Eberflus explaining to Hitchens his history with Iowa defensive coordinator Phil Parker. Eberflus played at Toledo from 1988 to 1991 and then began his coaching career there for nine years, while Parker served as Toledo's secondary coach from 1988 to 1998.
"My good buddy is Phil Parker," Eberflus told Hitchens. "We worked together for 10 years at the University of Toledo. So he stood on the table for you. I'm glad to have you because you like to run and you like to hit. We're excited about getting you."
So the Cowboys have a very good idea of what they're getting. And Hitchens will have a start toward feeling at home. He's the first Iowa player drafted by the Cowboys since 1984.
What he'll do as a rookie: Don't expect Hitchens to start, but backup linebackers need to be special teams contributors in a big way in the NFL. If the Cowboys picked Hitchens earlier than many expected, they obviously saw something they liked, and they'll put him to work.

I had LB Anthony Hitchens graded as a 6th, but I'm a fan. Versatile, productive and a classic overachiever #Cowboys— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) May 10, 2014
Congrats to my Lorain County Brother @AnthonyHitchens on being Drafted. Welcome to the NFL!!!!— Matt Wilhelm (@MattWilhelm57) May 10, 2014

Oak Harbor's haunted house is looking for fresh blood this Halloween
There will be screaming. And more screaming. That's what the Frightville Haunted House team can promise this year.
What they can't promise is that visitors to the 12th annual haunted house will make it out of the Roller Barn without a few years' worth of nightmares.
Is that blood-covered doll or lurking shadow just a prop — or a scream-thirsty actor waiting to jump out at terrified visitors? Are the shivers running down the back of your neck just fear — or a spider sliding down from the ceiling?
In the dark, anything goes, and this year, volunteers are taking terror to the next level.
Groups are thrown into the dark to brave a room of masks that aren't all fake, a room where dolls with spinning heads come to life and, as the walls close in and the evil laughter gets louder, visitors enter a final room where one word written on the walls says it all: Run.
"We completely redesigned the haunted house," said Brian Boyle, a volunteer whose character has earned him a fan-base: Mr. Giggles the clown.
Volunteers have been laboring since April to renovate the rooms.
"No room was left the same," said Johanna Boyle, eyeing the sacrificial Christmas dove she designed for her room in the haunted house.
This year's house features a number of changes. Unlike last year, visitors will come in through the graveyard before hearing the rules of the house; last year, the house was explained in the safe, lighted holding area.
"And then we throw them to the wolves!" Johanna laughed.
Screams help kids
But the screams are for a good cause. Profits go to the Boys and Girls Club, also housed in the Roller Barn.
This year, the house is completely self-sufficient, Brian said. Donors paid for the materials to create the house; last year, expenses totaled $2,000. Thanks to the sponsors, all the money raised this year will go directly to the Boys and Girls Club. Sponsors are WhidBerry Frozen Yogurt, Toppins, Whidbey Island Bank, Jeff Pleet at Edward Jones Investment, Cathy and Duncan Chalfant at Candy Enterprises and Spatz of Washington General Contractors.
Instead of designing the house around a storyline, this year, Brian said he asked volunteers to name their fears. Then he took advantage of every tingle of terror to create rooms featuring bees, zombies, clowns, dolls and even germs.
"Even people who have come to this house before will be totally surprised this year," LauraJean Krueger said. This is her fourth year volunteering for Frightville and she's heightening the horror as a blood-spattered Stepford wife gone horribly wrong.
"You get to let the insane out!" Krueger said of her excitement to join the haunted house. Her eyes blanked out with white contacts, she looked all too eager to "let the insane out" as she described the entertainment of scaring visitors silly.
Mr. Giggles seems like a sweet name, but take one look at the clown's face and any realization that Brian is under that mask will be drowned out by screaming.
"I help people out to their cars, through their sunroofs, chase them to Kmart," Brian said, a hint of his terrifying character coming through under his innocent tone.
"Yeah, help them choose out new clothes," Johanna laughed. "It's not a myth that people wet themselves in here. It's been confirmed night after night."
She's fashioning a golden Febreze can to congratulate such visitors.
It's not hard to imagine the fear as Brian described one of his favorite scare moves: locating a boyfriend and girlfriend holding hands, then switching hands with the boyfriend and waiting for the girl to turn around.
"I just like scaring people," Brian said.
Volunteers needed
While the haunted house isn't lacking in potential screams, it is in need of more volunteers.
"You don't have to be an actor. You just have to want to have some fun," Johanna said.
It's just ordinary people having a good time.
"I teach scrapbooking — and I cut up doves," Johanna laughed.
It takes at least 30 volunteers per night to run the house, and the more volunteers, the more actors available to leap out of the dark.
"Yeah, because if you can scare somebody three or four times in a room," Brian said, finishing his sentence with a laugh.
"Especially in the first room," Johanna added.
Anyone can sign up by filling out the paperwork at the Roller Barn.
New this year is a Halloween Dance and Costume Party, set for Friday, Oct. 19. Brave the haunted house downstairs, then head upstairs to "party it up with Mr. Giggles," Johanna said.
"If you didn't get enough Giggles downstairs, he'll come upstairs," she added.
Also new this year is the Witching Hour. The last hour of each Saturday night is lights off.
"It's going to be lights off, no guides, here's a flashlight, good luck," Johanna said.
"But there will be plenty of people inside 'helping you,'" Brian laughed.
And don't bother to bring your own flashlight — volunteers have a "special" stash set aside.
"We can always use corpses for next year," Krueger said.
Lights-on matinees on Saturday afternoons give the younger crowd a chance to enjoy the haunted house, too.
"We do have a lot of really good details in the house you don't get to see," Krueger said.
"Especially with your hands over your face," Johanna added.
Their only advice while braving the haunted house: never be in the front or back of the group — and definitely don't be in the middle.
"We love this!" Krueger said.

The City of Coeur d'Alene is pleased to announce that new public art is scheduled to be dedicated on Wednesday, October 24th. The art piece entitled "Trilogy" by local artist Michael Horswill, consists of three abstract, figurative totems uniting the stories of three groups in our community: the members of the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and their ancestral meeting place; the students, teachers, and staff members of the Education Corridor; and the wider community of Coeur d'Alene that is building a future of creative possibilities. The art piece entitled "The Gift" by Oregon artist C. J. Rench, depicts two hands reaching toward the sky holding an abstract drop of water, paying tribute to the Coeur d'Alene lake and how it is the center of the history, community, and the entire area. The last art piece by local artist Allen Dodge, consists of a large circular saw with a banner of brightly colored vitreous enamel "bead work," a true to life example of traditional Coeur d'Alene tribal artwork. The statues were commissioned by the Coeur d'Alene Arts Commission, which consists of a twelve-member panel that is appointed by the Mayor and serves a three-year term. The Public Art Ordinance, adopted in June of 1999, established funding of public art that provides public visibility and impact.
The dedication ceremony will begin at 4:00 p.m. at the River & Hubbard Roundabout. Mayor Bloem will officiate and immediately following the dedication ceremony, the Fort Ground Grille will host a reception with coffee and refreshments.
For more information on the Education Corridor Roundabouts public art project, please call Steve Anthony, Arts Commission liaison, at 769-2249.

We theoretically show that a weakly-focused radially polarized beam can excite surface-plasmon-polaritons in metal nanowires and nanocones with efficiencies of the order of 90% and large bandwidths. The coupling mechanism relies on the formation of a standing wave on the nanowire facet, which imposes a relationship between the operating wavelength and the nanowire radius. An immediate application of this finding is nanofocusing of optical energy for implementations of ultra-fast and high-throughput linear and nonlinear nanoscopies, optical nanolithographies, quantum nano-optics and photochemistry at the nanoscale.

Mitsubishi Chemical and UC Santa Barbara Form $15 Million Research Alliance on Advanced Materials, Solid State Lighting and Displays
Santa Barbara, Calif. -- Mitsubishi Chemical Corp., headquartered in Tokyo, and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) have entered into a five-year, $15-million alliance to support research and education in advanced materials and in solid state lighting and displays. The alliance represents the largest sponsorship ever by a corporation of research at UC Santa Barbara.
Mitsubishi Chemical is supporting two research centers at UCSB: $12.5 million will be allocated to establish the Mitsubishi Chemical Center for Advanced Materials (MC-CAM) and $2.5 million to contribute to the funding of the Center for Solid State Lighting and Displays.
Advanced Materials
MC-CAM's founding director is Glenn Fredrickson, UCSB professor of chemical engineering and department chair. Fredrickson explained, "The advanced materials on which the new center will focus are functional soft materials. These materials are 'functional' because they do something of value, such as a sensor responding to a stimulus in its environment. And the materials are 'soft' in that they have at least one organic component, meaning the presence of the element carbon as in a plastic (polymer) or biomaterial. Materials that are physically soft tend to be easy to process and to exhibit transport and diffusion properties that are controllable and therefore highly useful."
An example of an MC-CAM research focus is photonic band-gap materials, on which pioneering work has already been done by a group of UCSB scientists. The idea is to create from photonic band-gap materials a transistor for the switching of particles of light or photons in the way semiconducting materials have been used to create switches for electron flow.
Such a potentially transformative technology is what interests Mitsubishi Chemical in terms of the business model it is evolving for the 21st century, which emphasizes specialty-use chemicals with high profit margins. According to Chief Technology Officer George Stephanopoulos, "Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. has a set of research objectives and associated products that are downstream of the research objectives of the UC Santa Barbara's College of Engineering and science departments. Mitsubishi Chemical is well positioned to translate basic discoveries at UCSB into the marketplace for advanced photonic and electronic materials."
Matthew Tirrell, UCSB dean of Engineering, concurs, "As a College of Engineering we certainly want to influence technology. At some point we can't carry our research developments further into the technological arena; so industrial partners, with whom there is a good technical match, enable research results to be put into practice. And I think that is what we have found in Mitsubishi Chemical."
All three scientists point to the strength of the materials research effort at UCSB as the core reason for the alliance.
An indication of that strength is the awarding of two 2000 Nobel Prizes, one in Chemistry and one in Physics, to two UCSB faculty with appointments in the Materials Department. Chemistry winner Alan Heeger was cited for discovery of conducting polymers; both Heeger and conducting polymers are directly relevant to the MC-CAM research agenda. Winning in Physics, Herbert Kroemer had insights into semiconductor heterostructures that are akin to the insights the photonic band-gap researchers hope to have.
"The basic research of our UCSB scientists in advanced materials and solid state lighting and displays has reached a point of technological breakthrough," said UCSB Chancellor Henry T. Yang. "This cooperation between Mitsubishi and UCSB is solidly founded on broad complementary strength between the two institutions in basic discoveries and product innovation."
MC-CAM Director Fredrickson estimates that the materials effort "involves some 100 UCSB faculty, working collaboratively in teams that transcend the traditional disciplinary divides."
Tirrell singles out "the Materials Research Laboratory under the visionary direction of [Materials Professor] Anthony Cheetham as pivotal to the research alliance between UCSB and Mitsubishi Chemical." Last fall the National Science Foundation awarded the Materials Research Laboratory (MRL) a renewal grant of $16.5 million, the largest-ever research grant to the UCSB College of Engineering.
Housed within the College of Engineering, MC-CAM will be linked with the Materials Research Laboratory (MRL) administratively and physically in order to leverage the physical plant, professional staff, and research facilities and equipment of the MRL, while maintaining its autonomous research program. The MRL will, in return, benefit from MC-CAM's annual contributions to enlarge the research equipment base and staff support available to both centers.
In addition to Stephanopoulos, Fredrickson, and Tirrell, the MC-CAM governing board includes Martin Moskovits, UCSB dean of the Division of Mathematical, Life and Physical Sciences, and Ken-ichi Yoshie, president of the Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. Research and Innovations Center in Mountain View, Calif., who is also serving as MC-CAM's associate director.
A committee of 10, five from UCSB (including MRL Director Cheetham) and five from Mitsubishi Chemical (including MC-CAM Associate Director Yoshie) will exercise scientific oversight for MC-CAM by soliciting, shaping, and selecting research proposals.
Most of the Mitsubishi Chemical money will, according to MC-CAM Director Fredrickson, support student and postdoctoral researchers, and supplies and equipment for their research.
The University of California will own inventions ensuing from the research funded by Mitsubishi Chemical, which will have first option for exclusive license to the use of that technology. In addition, Mitsubishi will have the opportunity for a royalty-free nonexclusive license.
Solid State Lighting and Displays
Mitsubishi Chemical's support for the UCSB Center for Solid State Lighting and Displays is philanthropic.
The director of that center is Materials Professor Shuji Nakamura, the inventor of blue, green, and white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and the blue laser. "We are very grateful for Mitsubishi Chemical Corp.'s generous endorsement of our efforts to develop solid state lighting and displays," said Nakamura.
One of the research goals of the center that interests Mitsubishi Chemical is, according to Nakamura, the use of short-wavelength blue light to excite phosphors to emit white light. Mitsubishi manufactures phosphors.
Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. is Japan's largest chemical company and the world's seventh largest chemical producer.
Note: MC-CAM Director Fredrickson can be reached at 805-893-8308 or firstname.lastname@example.com; Engineering Dean Tirrell at 805-893-3141 or firstname.lastname@example.com; Mitsubishi Chemical CTO Stephanopoulos at 81-3-3283-5557 or email@example.com; MRL Director Anthony Cheetham at 805-893-8767 or email@example.com.

Three lawsuits have been filed by the Bank of Marysville against the owners of the now defunct West Shore Oil Company Inc., alleging the couple have defaulted on three business loans.
According to documents, Brian and Ann Walters of Mifflintown owe the bank a total of close to $400,000 on more than $620,000 in loans taken in 2008 and 2009.
The bank is asking for repayment of the loans, one each respectively for $90,498, $156,338 and $151,479.
The company shut its doors in April, with no word to customers about the planned closure. The business, at 419 South State St., had a sign on its door stating it was closed due to phone and computer problems. The company's website, now shut down, indicated it had been in operation for more than 70 years.
The business — also known as Wesco Heating and Cooling and Wesco Energies — filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in August due to business debts.
According to the bankruptcy filing, the business claimed $1.94 million in assets, but had liabilities of $1.41 million. Liabilities included unknown amounts owed for taxes and unemployment compensation, as well as a $29,476 claim from Independence Biofuel Inc. of Manheim for supplies and $290,000 to Wachovia Bank for a line of credit from 2005.
The business' property was auctioned on Oct. 23. Details of the auction were not available.
No listed phone number for the Walters' could be found, and a call to bankruptcy attorney Deborah Hughes of Harrisburg was not returned.

The World's Loudest Band, MANOWAR, Kicks It Up a Notch with Meyer Sound and Westfalen Sound
Monday - July 28, 2008
Epic heavy metal band MANOWAR secured a place in the Guinness World Records during the 1990s as the loudest band in the world, and sheer volume has remained an integral part of the MANOWAR concert experience. The band's technical rider specifies a minimum un-weighted SPL of 126dB at FOH position, a feat few sound systems can handle and still sound good.
So during the sound CHECK at the second annual "Magic Circle Festival" event in Bad Arolsen, Germany, MANOWAR achieved levels in excess of 139dB through Westfalen Sound Schallwand's powerful Meyer Sound system, bassist and front man Joey DeMaio declared unequivocally, "Westfalen Sound Kicks Ass!"
The Meyer Sound system that Westfalen provided comprised a total of 32 MILO© and two MILO 120 line array loudspeakers, with massive low end provided by 64 700-HP subwoofers. Twelve M'elodie™ line array loudspeakers covered front fill, with three CQ-1 loudspeakers handling center fill and outfill duties.
Westfalen Sound's Dirk Maron points out that the earth-shattering sound levels were maintained throughout both of MANOWAR's three-hour sets. "In spite of these exceptional levels, the sound was virtually free of any distortion," Maron says. "After the systems arrived back at Westfalen Sound, we checked them and found that none suffered even the slightest damage. I think that speaks for itself."
The festival was once again headlined by MANOWAR, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of their seminal Kings of Metal album backed by a choir and a crowd of more than 35,000 die hard MANOWAR fans. The most metal of audiences were also treated to performances by metal giants Alice Cooper, Gotthard, W.A.S.P., Ted Nugent Doro Pesch, and HolyHell. For more info visit

Comments about Stamina InLine Inversion System:
I tried the inversion tables that you stand and move back to a very inverted position. Both products I found, as a senior, a little to scary bringing me far off the ground.This chair inversion product is so solid. You can sit and gradually move back. You can stop easily when you want to. I have started out gradually. 5 minutes at first where I am comfortable. Will do this for awhile and as I become used to the chair will move further and further back. The stretching of neck and lower back felt devine. I used to have a slant board. Loved it. Never stayed on longer than 15/20 minutes.As I aged and put on a few pounds getting off was uncomfortable. There has been a 3 year break from inverting due to other issues and trying to find something to replace the slant board. I always felt wonderful on the slant board, all pain seemed to melt away and I expect this to occur with this product, but I am breaking in gradually
which I recommend for seniors. Wish I could put it in another room other than my living room, but,as I've gotten older, my well being as opposed to decorating takes priority!Only other comment? A softer seat.

Comments about Stamina InLine Inversion System:
I just put together my inversion chair. Word of advice: Get yourself a rubber mallet. You'll need it. Most of the holes line up with a little "finessing" (brute force). Not too bad, though. By the time I had it together, I needed to use it for my back...the reason I'd gotten it in the 1st place. There's one screw I can't seem to get all the way in the way it's supposed to be in the backrest. When a friend comes over, I'll see if he has any better luck than I've had.
It's a relief to not have to bend over to release my feet after a stretch as my SI joint generally gives my misery on a regular inversion table. It hasn't so far with the chair. Hope that continues.

Tommies win four events at home swim meet
MARYSVILLE — Marysville teams won four out of 12 events and also showed in several more when the Tomahawk swim team hosted score-free jamboree at their pool Sept. 9.
Oak Harbor, Snohomish and Glacier Peak also proved competitive in the meet composed entirely of relays. While several events might have sounded familiar on paper to swimmers, none of the events that took place here will be seen again this season.
For example, M-P took second in both 400 medley relays. The first Tomahawk relay team of Melody Travis, Melinda Blomberg, Jewel LeValley and Kami Girard merely swam twice the distance of the usual meet-opening 200 medley relay. But when the event came around again later in the meet, the quartet of Leah Gordon, Amanda Collins, Karoline Schaufler and Megan Shoemaker each swam an individual medley for 100 yards, or half the distance of the usual 200 individual medley contest.
The Tommies won the 800 freestyle relay in 8:47.13, besting second-place Oak Harbor by more than 30 seconds. The team was composed of LeValley, Schaufler, Kendall Vincelette and Girard. M-P also easily won back-to-back events — a team diving event in a head-to-head competition with Glacier Peak, followed by a win in the 100 freestyle relay. The team of Girard, Blomberg, Emily Reinig and Rae Nall were seven seconds faster than the Everett team that placed second.
M-P got its fourth win in the three-man 150 breaststroke relay with Blomberg, Gordon and Shoemaker.
Marysville faces Meadowdale in its first dual meet Sept. 18.

Former three-division world champion Adrien "The Problem" Broner seeks to rebound from his first career defeat, taking on lightly regarded Carlos Molina on the undercard of "The Moment: Mayweather vs. Maidana."
Broner, who was last seen jetting from the ring without comment after getting stomped by Marcos Maidana and losing his welterweight title, decided that a move to 140 pounds would be best for his career. He's got a ton to prove in this fight and has chosen an opponent that likely won't do much to silence his growing chorus of critics.
Molina was unknown before he signed up to face Amir Khan in December 2012. Like Broner now, Khan was looking for a safe fight to get him back on track after a loss, and that's what he got, pummeling Molina until his corner stopped the fight after Round 10.
And Broner, given all the hype and comparisons—most of which were self-proclaimed—finds himself backed into something of a corner. He needs a win, and he needs to do it in spectacular fashion.
Read on to find out if he'll get it. This is your complete preview and prediction for Broner vs. Molina.

New Arlington graffiti ordinance will fine property owners failing to do clean-up
ARLINGTON — An ordinance that would fine property owners $100 per day for graffiti left unabated on their property will soon be in place.
Arlington Police Chief Robert Sullenberger presented the proposed ordinance to the City Council during a work session Sept. 28 and the Council approved the measure Monday, Oct. 5.
The new law will give property owners 48 hours to remove graffiti or be subject to the fine.
The police chief said although Arlington has not had many instances of graffiti within its city limits, having an ordinance in place will make a difference if gang activity becomes a bigger issue in the future.
Arlington is located between two cities that "have a gang problem" according to a city memo — Mount Vernon and Marysville.
Sullenberger said he hopes the ordinance will keep gang-related activity, such as graffiti, from spreading into Arlington.
"This would give us a tool to use if we get inundated with graffiti," Sullenberger told the Council during the work session.
National studies have shown that removing graffiti within 24-48 hours after it has been placed is a major deterrent, Sullenberger said.
During his Sept. 28 presentation, which was shown again to the Council Oct. 5, Sullenberger said that it costs large cities millions of dollars — or about $1 to $3 per person — to clean up graffiti.
Those numbers could potentially translate the city of Arlington having to pay $17,000 to $51,000 to clean up graffiti, he said.
Although the city may be taking a hard-line stance on graffiti, Sullenberger said that the community can organize work parties to help alleviate the pressure the ordinance puts on private business and property owners.
The ordinance has provisions allowing affected property owners to have their 48-hour deadlines extended. Weather and seasonal conditions, such as snow, would qualify under those circumstances.
City Councilman Scott Solla said on Sept. 28 that the ordinance sounds like it's punishing property owners by forcing them to do cleanup.
"Some people don't have paint or time," Solla said. "A community resource pool should be set up, especially if (property owners) are elderly or can't get out there."
Sullenberger said that there are similar programs in place in other communities and said he'd explore that option.
The ordinance was approved unanimously without much discussion.

If you are using a paraffin wax bath at home for personal use, you may choose to reuse the wax left in the bath, adding enough refill wax to fall within the recommended levels as marked on the inner tank. Replace all paraffin wax when the used wax becomes cloudy or discolored or when sediment begins to collect on the bottom of the tank.
If other people will be using the paraffin bath after you, however, you will want to clean out the bath after each use for hygienic reasons. The following instructions will show you how to remove the paraffin wax and clean the interior unit.
Cleaning Instructions
- Turn off the power, unplug the unit, and remove the grille. Wait until the paraffin wax hardens. We recommend letting the wax harden overnight.
- When the paraffin is solid, plug in the unit, adjust the temperature knob, and wait until the paraffin melts enough on the bottom and sides to loosen from the tank. This takes approximately 10 minutes.
- Turn off the power and unplug the unit.
- Push down firmly on one side of the paraffin wax to lift up the other side and remove the entire block of wax.
- Dispose of the used paraffin wax.
- Use soft paper towels to remove any remaining paraffin wax from the inner tank.
- Clean the inside and outside of the unit with an all-purpose cleaner. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel.
- Clean the wax warmer regularly to prevent discolored paraffin and sediment buildup.
Removing Sediment
Since sediment buildup falls to the bottom of the tank, when the wax hardens, only the bottom portion will be dirty. If you separate the clean and dirty wax, you can reuse the clean wax. Here is how to remove sediment and reuse the clean portion of the paraffin block:
- Let the wax harden overnight.
- Re-melt the wax until it softens on the bottom and edges.
- Remove the block of wax from the tank and shave off the bottom quarter-inch.
- Discard the shaved-off portion of wax.
- Replace the block of clean wax in the bath after cleaning out the inner tank.
The next time that you use the paraffin bath, melt the leftover wax; then add refill wax until the level of the wax is within the recommended parameters.

Every vocation has its tricks of the trade, but the little secrets found in theatre fascinate me. I've compiled a Top 10 List of theatre secrets from Sweeney Todd in no particular order.
1. Vodka mixed with water can be sprayed onto socks and costumes to eliminate odors.
2. Red food coloring can be mixed with Dawn Liquid Detergent to create stage blood.
3. Microphone packs are put into condoms to prevent the actors' sweat from shorting them out.
4. Microphones are worn in the hair or taped to the side of the face. Alcohol applied under the tape keeps it from coming off.
5. A spoonful of wasabi before a performance opens up the nasal passages and throat.
6. Baby powder is used to make costumes appear dirty.
7. Death scenes are choreographed just like a dance.
8. Special LCD lights are used to give the actors an eerie appearance.
9. Many of the orchestral instruments are actually from a Yamaha keyboard, played by Kevin Francis Finn.
10. Mrs. Lovett's meat pies are actually made from homemade play-dough.
I've always been enthralled in the illusion of theatre. So, the next time you go to the theatre think about what you're seeing. It might just be a slight of hand.

Researchers at Duke University evaluated a new generation microSPECT with resolution less than 0.5 mm as a feasible imaging modality for studying murine cardiac function, comparing it with microCT. The team used MILabs' U-SPECT-II/CT, which includes a 0.35-mm-resolution collimator, and an in-house CT system developed for dynamic imaging applications (Mol Imaging Biol, September 2013).
Dr. Allan Johnson and colleagues found that the two modalities showed excellent correlation in measured cardiac function, despite differences in spatial resolution and contrast-to-noise ratio, according to MILabs.
An additional advantage of microSPECT was that quantitative analysis of both cardiac function and multiple myocardial radiotracer distributions could be performed from a single 4D acquisition, eliminating the need for multiple contrast agents or additional acquisition protocols. Also, U-SPECT could accurately identify the regions of ischemia or infarction that were not visible in the microCT images, MILabs said.

What they didn't expect was that Camby's addition would stimulate evolution within the Blazers' offense. But over the past month, particularly in recent games, that's precisely what has happened as coach Nate McMillan has installed and used new offensive sets that capitalize on Camby's underrated passing ability.
Turns out the defensive specialist is multidimensional.
"It's another option that you can try to take advantage of," McMillan said. "I just think both he and (Juwan) Howard are pretty good passers, so we've added (plays) where those guys are initiating the offense. We're running the offense through them some, spreading the floor. As opposed to our wings and guards feeding the post or starting the offense, we're running through Howard and Camby."
With his long and lean 6-foot-11 frame and soft hands, Camby has the ability to see over the lane from the high post and he has revealed a penchant for being able to deliver crisp and timely passes, either to LaMarcus Aldridge in the post or to a cutting teammate through the lane.
The Blazers' offense was as precise and pretty as it has been all season during much of their latest victory, 109-98 over the Toronto Raptors Sunday night, and Camby was a significant part of the flow in the early going. On the Blazers' first possession, positioned in the high post, Camby tossed a bullet pass to Aldridge near the basket for an easy layup attempt. Aldridge missed, but it was clear the chemistry was there.
Later in the quarter -- through a similar offensive set with Camby up top and Aldridge down low -- Camby made a pretty bounce pass to Aldridge, who scored on a jump hook. Shortly thereafter, Camby gave the Blazers a 22-21 lead when he drove the lane, drew an extra defender and passed to Aldridge for a two-handed dunk.
"I've been playing the high post a lot throughout my career," Camby said, before pointing out he and Aldridge complement each other. "He's kind of versatile. He plays more inside than myself and I think Coach has been running a lot of elbow sets for myself to make plays not (just) for LA but also to swing the ball and play pick and roll out of the second swing. So Coach has been giving me a lot of confidence to handle the basketball. I just have to make sure I keep my turnovers down."
This chemistry, particularly between Camby and Aldridge, took a few games to blossom. Camby, who is averaging 2.7 assists per game this season, had five turnovers in his first game with the Blazers -- a 96-76 loss to the Boston Celtics -- and had 10 turnovers during another three-game stretch. In one of those games, a 103-93 win at the Memphis Grizzlies, all three of his turnovers came when he tried to force a pass to slicing teammates from the high post.
"I was throwing passes I was used to throwing, but to different personnel," Camby said. "But that was a couple weeks ago and I think as each game and each practice (goes by) we get better at it."
Indeed, there appears to be a comfort and chemistry developing between Camby and his teammates.
No one is claiming that Camby is developing into an offensive juggernaut. He was acquired mostly for his defense and that remains his strength. But Camby's also providing a new wrinkle that Joel Przybilla and Greg Oden could not, and that is allowing McMillan to throw another dimension at opposing teams.
And there's no disputing Camby's impact. Since he arrived in Portland, the Blazers are 10-4 and they've won seven of their last eight games.
From the get-go Camby has been a vocal leader for the young Blazers and, even though he's only been in town for roughly a month, he has not been shy about challenging teammates and speaking his mind on the court and in the locker room. McMillan praised Camby's professionalism and leadership, saying he's both a "quarterback" on defense and a mentor behind the scenes.
"I consider myself a leader," Camby said. "Every team I've been on, I was the captain of that team. And here, I understand that LA and (Brandon) Roy are the captains. But me and Juwan have a lot more experience and years in this league. And I think they respect us to go out there and voice our opinions. I'm not here to step on anybody's toes ... but I think the guys really respect me, respect the work that I've put in over these last 14 years in the league."
The player the Blazers brought in to provide defense has, unexpectedly, added much more. And the best, they say, is yet to come.
"You've barely even seen what he can do," Andre Miller said. "I played with him in Denver for 3 1/2 years. He can do two or three times as much as what he's doing now. It's just being cautious and passive as far as letting the game come and with him trying to fit in. He can definitely do a lot more and the opportunity will come where he will do a lot more."

Experiences of Depression: HopelessnessSeptember 8, 2011 • Contributed by Cynthia W. Lubow, MS, MFT
This article is part of a series that explores the ways that specific "clusters" of depression symptoms manifest to create different experiences of depression. The previous article in this series discussed the anxious or agitated experience.
Hopelessness can be a passing part of a depressive episode, or even a brief, normal aspect of grief. But hopelessness can also be a long-term pattern of thinking and feeling.
People with this type of depression experience expect the worst from life, other people, and themselves. They may expect to fail what they try, to lose what they have, and to have no chance of getting what they want. Prospective activities may seem like too much effort, too little reward, or even potentially disastrous. The world often feels bleak and dark.
When hopelessness is a long-term pattern of viewing the world, and exists without many other depression symptoms, it is probably part of a personality style, rather than an illness, and it is almost inevitably the result of trauma. In fact, all of the long-term types of hopeless outlooks I describe below are likely the result of traumas that occurred in childhood, or sometimes even adulthood.
Beliefs About Hopelessness
Sometimes people believe that life—in general, or for them specifically—is about suffering and pain, and those things are all they can expect. Whether they see this as due to a curse, the idea that good people suffer and bad people enjoy, or God's will, their hopelessness is tied to this belief about life. Generally this belief comes from traumatic lessons learned from caretakers during childhood.
Others find an intellectual stance to support the hopelessness they feel. They may believe that anyone who is intelligent, educated, and perceptive must come to the conclusion that life is hopeless. They find that existentialism supports their sense of meaninglessness in life. They see everything with a cynical, critical eye. They see people as stupid and deluded, little value in what most people contribute, incompetence everywhere they look, and feel both superior to most people and grim about living in a world surrounded by people who are ruining their chances for happiness.
One interesting version of hopelessness I see fairly often in my office is the tendency for people who have left-wing political views to see the world as getting worse and worse. It's hard to feel hopeful when everything you read and hear tells you the people in power are conspiring against you, global warming is destroying the earth, water and oil are running out, and economic disaster is inevitable. Reading that the world is doomed cements this hopeless point of view. Even when people mired in hopelessness devote themselves to activism to try to change the problems with the world, they may fundamentally believe the world is crumbling despite their efforts.
Sometimes people who feel hopeless express their feelings in creative outlets. Traditional country music, for example, often expresses a sense that a broken heart, poverty, bad luck, and other miseries were inevitable for the singer. This can be a healing way to work through the traumas behind hopelessness. Nurturing, protective relationships can also be healing, as can psychotherapy for resolving trauma, particularly using EMDR treatment.
Our collective reality is that things change all the time, and sometimes good things happen and sometimes bad things happen. How much of each we get certainly varies from person to person and group to group, but everyone has opportunity for some pleasure and good fortune, and everyone experiences suffering and bad fortune. How much hope people can muster from their circumstances is mostly a consequence of how much resilience they have.
Trauma and Hopelessness
Unresolved trauma reduces resilience. This is partially due to the fact that when people experience trauma, they often come to conclusions about themselves and life that make sense in the context of the trauma, but are a distortion of reality when they are still held later, out of their original context. For example, a child whose mother dies suddenly in a car accident may conclude that there is no point in loving or depending on people, because they will leave you when you need them most. This child may grow up feeling hopeless about ever having love in her life.
Another example is a child whose parents repeatedly tell him he'll never amount to anything—that he's stupid, and worthless, and no one will ever see value in him. Most children believe what their parents tell them repeatedly about themselves. These beliefs may later cause him to be grossly under-employed or to not even try to date or have friends. These traumatic experiences could leave him feeling no hope for anything more than a lonely, unsatisfying life.
Holding onto Hope
These days, many people feel hopeless due to the economy. They are out of work, their house is under water or gone, or they see these things happening around them and feel doomed. Yet somehow, people survive all these things, and some people even continue to thrive. People who can hold onto the hope of what is still good in their lives—love, health, flowers, whatever it takes—and the faith that there will be better times ahead, don't live feeling hopeless. The main difference between the hopeless and the hopeful is not the circumstances they are in, but how much inner resilience they have. People are born with varying amounts: good enough parenting cultivates resilience, and healing from traumas creates resilience.
Living feeling hopeless is very painful. It undermines motivation, separates people from others, invites addiction to anything that can give temporary relief, and can create a spiral of feeling worse and worse. Short term hopelessness is generally easy to treat. Long-term hopelessness often takes more time. You have to chip away at the causes until the hopeful person inside can be revealed.

While I have been depressed once before in my life, I've never felt the total hopelessness in which this article describes. However, I could imagine how devastating it would be to have a completely pessimistic attitude towards everything in life. I never that about it like this but you are right in saying, "Sometimes people believe that life… is about suffering and pain, and that is all they can expect" the same goes for the opposite (believing life is about pleasure and joy). And It's hard not to feel that way when the news is going on about how the world is crumbling around you. People need to remember that the news isn't an infallible information source, in reality its just a business. A business that makes it money by capitalizing on fear.

Just depressive weather with having to stay home and the roads blocked make me sick..I CANNOT imagine what it woul be like to have such depressive feelings deep inside you and living with that..! Such people really need to find some help as soon as they can.
Naomi GatesSeptember 8th, 2011 at 8:14 PM
How awful to suffer such a blackness in your life, with everything that's warm and comforting giving you no solace. What can we, the ordinary folks, do to help them if we come across a person with hopelessness depression? Anything? That makes me really sad to think some people are living that day in and day out.
nateSeptember 9th, 2011 at 2:35 PM
I think that my mom is this hopeless depressive type. She can never see the good in anything. Everything is alwas so negative. I want help for her but there are times when I really can't stand to listen to her because she brings us all down so much! I want her to see the good in life but all she ever notices is the bad.
Cynthia Lubow, MFTSeptember 15th, 2011 at 12:00 AM
One thing you could do is ask people you want to help for examples of experiences in their lives that proved to them that things were/are hopeless. Ask if there was a time they didn't see it that way–when they were 10? 5? 2? born? With these questions, you are looking for traumatic events that occurred that caused a post traumatic stress response and initiated the hopelessness. You may have to ask the same for their parents, if their parents taught them the hopeless thinking based on their own traumatic experiences. Let me know how it goes!
PeteJuly 13th, 2012 at 12:44 AM
I can kind of sympathise with what has been written above. I, for instance know that i am dumb, useless, fat, unitelligent doormat who will never acheive anything in life and frankly shouldn't even try bothering. Someone who was born to live in pain and suffering and will have to break their back for the smallest of oppurtunities. However this only seems to apply to me. I have amazingly optimistic views when it comes to the rest of the world. I generally believe that people are good and that everyone could acheive their full potential given half a chance. It's just a shame that it doesn't apply to me….
EdithOctober 31st, 2012 at 9:26 PM
No Pete, you are not the only one…you have described me to a "T".
AishahAugust 21st, 2013 at 9:20 AM
Watching motivational videos especially of the disabled people who apart from their illness and disability, never lost hope and lead a successful life really gives a boost to yourself.. It actually makes you feel that even though the times are tough, you still are blessed with things that million others don't have in their lives.
Give it a try.

this is a fantastic article…once again great insight from cynthia lubow…really really helpful…thanks for all your work to help and heal others…with gratitude, kim

Somewhere in the world of novice photography lies the invisible transition from photographer to artist, and once that threshold is crossed, the mind will explore anything and everything, seeking subjects to capture on its canvas.
Somewhere along the path of concentration lies the spot where focus is shattered, and all you want to do is pick up the camera and click, click, click.
This photo of two notebooks and a pencil was taken on one of those sunny afternoons when all I wanted to do was go outside for a walk. But I was bound to my books and the exam the next week. It was a beautiful day, really, and I could only stare from within and return to those dreary notes.
I then picked up my camera, arranged my notebooks and pen and started snapping away happily, oblivious to the world and the regimented area of study.
You can call me unmotivated, undisciplined, but who studies the four types of Hypersensitivity with vigor? Life isn't just about schedules, people and trying to meet deadlines, as most have discovered and sadly realised. Life's about the intricacies and nuances of everyday life, the wonder that spreads all over you when you discover something new, may it be just something small. Life's about keeping memories and making sure your mental health is in good shape. Only then can you gather the strength needed to face the world outside.
It was within this essay that I realized that I needed to constantly count the number of words I wrote to make sure that it was enough. I never used to do that. Does proper planning and back-to-back activities stem creativity? Not to you, perhaps, but to me, one who is content to sit down and contemplate.
I took this photograph on a day with gorgeous weather outside, but I never went out of the house. Simple it is, with the theme of work, but it reminds me that life is never what you see, because it needs noticing.

VIDEO 3: Indianapolis, IN (download video)
Planned Parenthood, 8847 Commerce Park Place #J, Indianapolis, IN 46268
Recorded on September 11th, 2009
Indiana Planned Parenthood Caught On Tape Giving Fabricated Medical Information
INDIANAPOLIS, July 20–The youth-led pro-life group Live Action released a new undercover video today showing staff at an Indianapolis Planned Parenthood clinic using manipulative and medically inaccurate counseling to convince a young woman to have an abortion. This is the third undercover video Live Action has released showing abusive counseling practices at Planned Parenthood of Indiana.
When the woman, purportedly 10-weeks pregnant, asks the clinician, named "Sarah," when her baby's heart begins to beat, Sarah replies, "It's around I think the 8th or the 9th week that you can hear the heartbeat." The heart actually begins beating 3 weeks and 1 day after conception, according to Moore and Persaud's well-known textbook The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology. The Planned Parenthood clinician also insists, "It's not a baby, it's a fetus," which, she claims, is "not like a person."

UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio – The Shula coaching tree has grown another branch, this time close to its roots.
Chris Shula has been hired as defensive coordinator at John Carroll University, head coach Tom Arth said. Shula is the son of former Cincinnati Bengals coach Dave Shula and the grandson of football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, who grew up in Grand River and graduated from John Carroll. The Blue Streaks' home field is Don Shula Stadium.
Chris Shula spent the last three seasons as a defensive graduate assistant at Indiana. The IU media guide lists him as assistant to the head coach and Arth said he coached defensive backs. He was a graduate assistant at Ball State in 2010 and played four years at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
"We're excited to work with him,'' Arth said. "The most important thing in the process was finding a person of high character and you spend a few minutes with Chris and you can see that in him.''
Don Shula, 83, lives in Miami and maintains close ties with the school, but Arth said he did not lobby on behalf of his grandson. Dave Shula also has retired from coaching and president of the family restaurant chain, Shula Steak Houses.
"It's just a bonus for us. Chris feels a strong tie to John Carroll and we're very proud of that,'' Arth said.
Chris Shula played linebacker at Miami (Ohio) University from 2004-08 and was a three-year letterman. He graduated with a degree in sports studies and spent one year as a graduate assistant in athletic administration at Oklahoma.
Arth is beginning his second year as head coach and Shula is his third defensive coordinator. His first, Jerry Schuplinski, was hired by the New England Patriots before last season began. Brandon Staley coached last season and was hired by James Madison to be its defensive coordinator. John Carroll was 9-2 last season and qualified for the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Don Shula, born in Grand River, near Painesville, played cornerback at John Carroll and was drafted by the Browns in 1951. He coached the Baltimore Colts and Miami Dolphins, won two Super Bowls, and is the winningest coach in NFL history. Dave Shula was the Bengals head coach from 1992-96.

It's a win-win situation.
And who knows, you might even win.
Division 1-AA football teams get a pretty good deal when they add a Division 1-A team to their schedule. They receive attention, a chance to compete against the best and a significant payout from the team in question in return for a likely loss.
Norfolk State, a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, will receive $265,000 from Rutgers when they play tomorrow, divided between cash, hotel rooms, tickets and other benefits like courtesy tents for alumni.
Now, Appalachian State showed that the rewards can extend much further.
With their win over Michigan two weeks ago, the Mountaineers of Boone, N.C., made two important announcements. The teams in the next tier, now known as the Football Championship Subdivision, are not only less fearsome of the bullies above them -- they're getting better, too.
If Michigan's unexpected loss this year was to Northwestern or Eastern Michigan, it would've been embarrassing. Losing to Appalachian State, however, is historic, and all it cost the Wolverines was a hefty $400,000 to become the butt of every college football joke for the next year. The payouts given to these schools in return for scheduling a game may be in jeopardy if the big names in the former Division 1-A (now the Football Bowl Subdivision) are less inclined to put themselves at risk.
Charlie Cobb, Appalachian State's athletic director, believes an already difficult process will only become more frustrating. He remembers trying to schedule another 1-A team which was offering $300,000 to a less prestigious 1-AA school. He called about five times, offering to play the game for $100,000, but the 1-A team wasn't interested in playing the more dangerous Mountaineers, the two-time defending 1-AA champion.
Norfolk State is adopting a similar attitude. Athletic director Marty Miller said the payout is not an inconsequential amount of money and has a vast impact on his program. The real value, however, comes from pitting his team against a program like Rutgers to see where they stand.
"This is a great opportunity to expose our football team to that level of competition," Miller said. "... (The money) does help our program, but we're going in with the mind-set that we're not going in to lose a ballgame. We're trying to be as competitive as possible."
Rutgers plans to continue scheduling 1-AA opponents even with the payouts rising year by year. Deputy director of athletics Kevin MacConnell said he will continue to make calls for future games but doesn't sense any backtracking from other top programs.
"I wouldn't know if schools are apprehensive after Appalachian State," MacConnell said.
There are certainly no reservations on the other side of the fence -- the experience of playing a 1-A team doesn't have a price tag. Cobb was excited to give his players a chance to play at Michigan's famed Big House in front of 109,000 fans, to give the school band an exciting venue at which to perform and to build the national exposure of his school.
And in the "1-in-100" chance that you win the game, he now knows that the benefits are immeasurable.
"Our university cannot buy the exposure that we've received in the last 10 days," Cobb said.
For a school with a $9.5 million budget for 20 sports, the $400,000 payout has serious impact. It can pay a number of salaries, improve facilities and pave the way for better things in the future. Cobb has received estimates that say by also winning the game and receiving unprecedented media coverage, the school "earned" anywhere from $10 to 20 million.
The top 1-AA schools have become more threatening because scheduling top teams shows recruits that they'll have the chance to play some prominent games, and you can't win without players. Pittsburgh is one of six Big East teams to play a 1-AA school this year. Last week it hosted Grambling State, whose athletic director, Troy Mathieu, said the team is trying to broaden its approach to tougher opponents.
"From our end, it helps with recruiting," Mathieu said. "They (the players) all have visions in high school of playing 1-A football. As the process unwinds, everyone can't go to a 1-A school ... you may have a better chance of getting a quality college football experience at a school our size. One of the tools that we use in recruiting is if you have a desire to play against the big boys, you will get the chance."
MacConnell said the payouts are often in the same range, anywhere from $200,000 to $300,000, depending on travel costs and familiarity between the schools.
Miller has scheduled a rising SEC school, Kentucky, for next season. Cobb's list of recent and future opponents reads like the annual preseason top 25: Michigan, Wake Forest, Auburn, LSU, NC State, Florida, Georgia and Virginia Tech.
The prospect of falling to a 1-AA school may be more likely, but that doesn't make it any easier to stomach. On a conference call Monday, Norfolk State coach Pete Adrian joked that after looking at the Scarlet Knights' game tape, he'd "rather play Michigan."
And considering the money saved and potential ridicule avoided, maybe Rutgers would, too.

As Doug Marrone continues to try and rebuild the current edition of Syracuse University Football, the history of Syracuse Football takes center stage for a second straight year as the National Football Foundation recently announced its 2009 Hall of Fame class.
Last year, it was former SU QB Don McPherson who got in. This year, it is his coach's turn.
Richard F. "Dick" MacPherson was among the names announced last week as part of the 2009 Hall of Fame class.
SU fans, of course, know him and address him as "Coach Mac". Here is a nice bio of Coach Mac's career put together by SU Athletics, although most SU Football fans probably don't have to read that to know what Coach Mac did for the program and what he means to it.
Coach Mac was kind enough to join me on the radio on Monday while he was traveling back to his home in Florida. He thanked a lot of people who helped him along the way to the Hall of Fame and strolled down memory lane a bit.

Merrell Reflex

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $140
Great waterproof hiker. Good sole, fast break-in, very comfortable.
- Great waterproof design
- Comfort
- Great ankle support
- They are a bit hot on warm days
- Sole is prone to slipping on wet rocks
I purchased a pair of these Merrells for general hiking. It is my second pair of shoes from Merrell and although I do enjoy my original pair of shoes, these are far superior.
I thought a Vibram sole was the way to go, but Merrell has done a stand-up job at making one that rivals that of Vibram. I find the waterproofing to be great as long as one doesn't decide to take these boots swimming.
My only true complaint is that the soles have a tendency to become slippery on wet rocks. I know it is something that is hard to grip...but I think a little more traction on rocks would be ideal. I did a hike where a lot of it was rock face and when it started to rain I was catching myself every little bit especially going downhill.
Without a doubt I would recommend these boots to anyone looking for a well priced boot.
Welcome to Trailspace, Scott. Thanks for sharing your Merrell review with us. How long have you been using this model?

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $99 plus shipping
After two months of use — light hiking/walking the dog twice a day — the soles are wearing out. Heels and ball of the foot worn smooth. The rest of the shoe looks great and fits great... greatly disappointed in material quality.
- Great fit
- Upper well made
- Soles too soft/wear too quickly
The shoes fit great right out of the box. Very comfortable for long walks (2-4 miles) on mostly flat terrain. After two months noticed the heel lugs were worn flat and through the sole and into heel support material.
The ball of the foot on both shoes worn flat also. Have never had any other hiking, work, hunting, or military boots ever wear out that fast.
I've absolutely loved these shoes from day 1. I actually…
Use: dayhikes
Break-in Period: minimal

Price Paid: $100
The best hiking shoes whatever I had. They are perfect for 20 km of challenging trail or for urban walking.
I'm really upset, because Merrell discontinued this model.

Materials: leather
Use: rough trail hiking
Break-in Period: long breakin period. Never a blister but hard and inflexible.
Weight: light enough to enjoy wearing
Price Paid: $45
These hikers are the best. The ankle support and rugged sole support and protect your feet in the worst conditions. They take awhile to break in but it's worth it. I wore these boots occasionally about a year before I started hiking in them. Now two years, and many miles, later they are still going strong. Their grip in mud and slippery hills is unrivaled. I'm a real Merrell convert and have a pair for every occasion. These are so comfortable that I was looking for a second pair to keep nice for casual wear.
I have had these shoes for three years. I originally…
Materials: leather, plastic, rubber
Use: hiking, backpacking, everday use
Break-in Period: 1 month, on and off
Price Paid: about $70 on sale
I have had these shoes for three years. I originally bought them for backpacking in the mountains. They break in very fast and are very comfortable. I wore them in the mountains and many days after. The only problem I had was the tread wear is fairly fast. As of now, three years later, they are pretty much worn down. Other then that they are great. The materials they are made out of are very durable and do not skuff or rip easily.

Balance shifts following Tuesday's election
Island County residents elected some new faces, while keeping some familiar ones during Tuesday's General Election.
It appears that the partisan balance of the Board of Island County Board of Commissioners will shift with one of two Democratic commissioners losing in the Nov. 6 election, according to initial ballot results.
Jill Johnson, a Republican, is ahead of Democratic Commissioner Angie Homola by 2 percent of the vote for the District 2 position, which represents the Oak Harbor area. She has 17,095 ballots cast in her favor, or 51 percent, while Homola has 16,400 votes, at 49 percent.
"It was a clear message and I am really excited to represent the voters of District 2 and all the citizens of Island County," Johnson said Tuesday night. "There was no indecision in this vote at all."
Incumbent Commissioner Helen Price Johnson, a Democrat, has a lead over Republican challenger Jeff Lauderdale for the District 1 position, which covers South and Central Whidbey.
Price Johnson has 17,420 votes, or 52 percent, while Lauderdale has 16,019 at 48 percent.
"I do think the race will narrow but it looks like my lead will hold," Price Johnson said.
In the hotly contested race for the District 10 state senate seat, Democrat Mary Margaret Haugen, the longtime senator, lost to Republican challenger Barbara Bailey.
Bailey has 27,342 votes, or 52.78 percent, while Haugen has 24,457 votes, or 47.22 percent.
In the two races for District 10 state representative, the Republican candidates are winning.
Incumbent Rep. Norma Smith is far ahead of Democratic challenger Aaron Simpson. Smith has 30,835 votes, or 60.89 percent, while Simpson has 19,809 or 39.11 percent.
For the other seat, Republican candidate Dave Hayes has 26,142, or 52.13 percent, and Democrat Tom Riggs garnered 24,002 or 47.87 percent.
On South Whidbey, the South Whidbey Fire/EMS Levy Lift proposition is easily passing with nearly 59 percent of the vote.
In the major state initiatives, Island County voters mirrored statewide results in casting ballots in favor of legalizing marijuana, approving same-sex marriage and approving charter schools.
Island County voters also favored Republican candidate Rob McKenna over Democrat Jay Inslee for governor. McKenna earned 53 percent of Island County votes, while statewide he's losing with just 48 percent.
U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, a Democrat, and Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell are both ahead.
President Barack Obama won in Island County, with nearly 51 percent of the vote as compared to Mitt Romney's 47 percent.

Virginia Point Summerfest reaches 100th celebration
POULSBO During a time when communication via text messaging is the norm and family dinners are a rare phenomenon, one group has kept alive a homegrown tradition bringing friends and relatives together year after year.
Its hard to say just what Louis Tagholm imagined when he first bought the end of Virginia Point in 1907, but whether he hoped for it or not, an annual gathering rivaling the best of reunions has endured throughout the century. Now, 100 years later, Tagholms granddaughter and great-granddaughter are preparing for what could be Virginia Points grand party finale.
It was the highlight of my summers growing up, said Kari MacKenzie, Virginia Point resident and Tagholms great-granddaughter. Its just such a fabulous summer party.
Dubbed Summerfest, the yearly potluck boasts more than 100 guests, each of whom can enjoy a smattering of activity, from volleyball and face painting to tug-o-war and live music. Only once was the party plagued with rainy weather, and it has never missed a year.
All through the years it has been a place where there have been huge summer gatherings, said Tagholms granddaughter Marilyn Bergstrom. Now its pretty much a three generation party. For a few years we had four generations.
Started among relatives, the gathering has grown to include visitors from Seattle, Mercer Island and Issaquah. MacKenzie described it as a Norman Rockwell-type party.
You still get a core that have been coming every year, and then theres people you just meet, she said. Its just a great opportunity to reconnect with people that you havent seen in a year. Its like a friend reunion.
Summerfest, which has offered to its younger visitors temporary tattoo stations, candy hidden in bales of hay and even an ice cream truck, will this year host a steel drum band along with its usual tasty barbecue and other clever treats, such as sushi made of Rice Krispies treats and Fruit Roll-Ups.
Theres always fabulous food, said MacKenzie, who reminisced about the year her mother attempted to serve everything on China dishes. Some really, really clever stuff.
Both MacKenzie and Bergstrom agreed this year could be Summerfests last, and if this proves to be the case, theyd like it to go out with a bang.
Its a lot of work, but now I feel like weve got it down to a science, MacKenzie said. Its neat from a historical standpoint. When you start something and it goes on like this, it just becomes tradition.
Bergstrom said the family connection is how the celebration made it on the calendar each year. While it will be missed, there will still be gatherings on Virginia Point.
It is kind of sad in a way, Bergstrom said. There arent too many things that continue for such a long time.

Three now vie for Oak Harbor council seat
A three-way race has begun for an open Oak Harbor City Council position.
Martha Yount, a regular at council meetings, filed with the Island County Elections Office in Coupeville Thursday for position 1. She will vie with former City Councilman Paul Brewer and former Oak Harbor Planning Commission member Mark Wiggins for the seat.
Yount's filing today means that the three-way race will be narrowed in the August 16 primary election. In Washington, the top two candidates proceed to the General Election in November.
Position 1 is currently held by Jim Palmer, who has decided not to run for election.

text: I initially was a little hesitant on spending that much on him. It would have been nice if we could have seen if he could back up last years elite level of play this year. I have read a few articles that suggest the money was spent with the feelings being that the cap will continue to be inflated up to around 80mil in time for the big contracts in a few years time. I can't wait for hockey season to start. Last season was a technological breakthru for me (I may be 26 but I suck with technology); gamecentre and a DVI cable means I can actually watch hockey for once instead of just listening to the radio streams. 67 days till my first (and probably last for a long time) live blackhawks game!
