If you've been with us the last couple of posts, you know sin is your enemy. You understand it lurks deep within your members, warring against your soul, seeking to ambush you at your most vulnerable moment. You've experienced its power and treachery many times.
You would agree with Paul when he says you're under obligation to put all remaining sin to death—to kill it (Romans 8:13; Colossians 3:5). You know that too. But what you may not know is…how. How do you slay sin? These remaining posts address that question. This is how you slay sin. First, understand your true position as a Christian. This is a call to think biblically about the way you relate to sin. Miss this vital first step, and the rest will be nothing but a self-improvement exercise. Study the Bible carefully and you'll notice Scripture rarely calls you to practice a specific behavior without first laying down some kind of theological foundation or framework. That was especially clear in Paul's epistles, the transition from doctrine to duty, belief to behavior (cf. Romans 12:1; Galatians 5:1; Ephesians 4:1; Philippians 2:1; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:1). Practice follows position, application flows out of sound theology. That's what you see as Paul develops the doctrine of mortification in the book of Romans. Before you learn anything about the struggle you face as a Christian, before you hear the call to put that sin to death, you first learn how you should view sin. Here's how that section begins in chapter 6:
Our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves of sin; for he who has died is freed from sin (Romans 6:6-7).
Our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves of sin; for he who has died is freed from sin (Romans 6:6-7).
Notice the syllogism in that verse, Paul's argument. Major premise: all those who die with Christ are free from sin. Minor premise: you died with Christ. Conclusion: you are free from sin.
Free. From. Sin.
Let that truth settle in your mind, Christian. Christ triumphed over your sin, and because of your union with Him, His victory becomes your victory. That's the reason you see the phrase "with Christ" throughout that entire section. You've been crucified with Christ, buried with Christ, and raised with Christ. With Christ means you are united with Him and in Christ you have participated in everything He accomplished.
The extent of your freedom becomes clear in Romans 6:11: "Consider yourself dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Don't miss the powerful point in that verse. It has huge implications for how you fight against sin. You are free from sin (Romans 6:7); you are dead to sin (Romans 6:7, 11); you are alive to God in Christ.
Let me ask you this question: What difference does that perspective make when sin ambushes you? Do you think it would be to your advantage, at the moment of temptation, to see yourself as free from sin? What power does a dead, defeated enemy have over you?
I hope you see how that makes all the difference in the world. That's why Paul continues in verse 12, saying, "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts." Sin is a conquered foe. Don't let it return to power in your life.
That's the vital first step to slaying sin in your life—don't give sin any power. By God's grace, by the power of the Spirit who indwells you, you call the shots in your life, you choose what you will and will not think about. You're not a victim here. You're not the defeated enemy here, sin is. Treat it like the cowering, quivering captive it is.
But you say, "Why does sin seem so strong?" Because you've been accustomed to thinking like a captive rather than a victor. You've been used to thinking like a slave of sin rather than a slave of Christ and righteousness. If you understand who you really are in Christ, you undermine sin's ability to deceive you and gain a foothold in your life.
You were once enslaved to sin. It owned and controlled you. But now, because of Christ you're free from it and dead to it. He purchased you out of the slave market of sin and made you His slave. You are now in Christ.
That's your position as a Christian. Understand and enjoy it. That's step one in slaying sin. Step two, coming soon…

Thanks Tommy, a great post...
Clear, sound, solid theology under-girds the Christian life. If that is shaky, muddled, uncertain - if we are not sure what we believe - then we are 'tossed to and fro' and lose sight of our strength and salvation. Christ.

Jesus is our sin slayer. We no longer need of sacrifice of bulls and
lambs. I hadn't thought of it until this post help me understand clearly. Thanks.
But we still are in our flesh which has the fallen nature. Paul
mention that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Wonderful reading the blog in the last couple of weeks. Thank you for the sound Biblical teachings, that is getting as scarce as "hens teeth" or seems to be like "finding a needle in a haystack" now a days.
As a youth, I used to trap animals. On one occasion I found a house cat in one of my traps. It was cowering and crouching as if it knew it had wandered too far from home. It probably didn't understand how it got there, it just wanted out so that it might return home. Because it did not resist it was released unharmed. Whenever I read Galatians 6:1, that incident always comes to mind. On another occasion, when I was walking by a set that had never produced any results, a feral cat that was caught in my trap nearly tore my leg to shreds. They possessed two different natures.
Tommy begins this blog by addressing those who "know" sin as their enemy having "experienced its power and treachery many times". He addresses them as those "who would agree with Paul when he says you're under obligation to put all remaining sin to death—to kill it (Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:5). You know that too". I would go on to describe an inward principal which is at work within them. I quote from the puritan Thomas Boston in his book "Repentance".
"The man leaves his sin, not for the inferior motives only of danger to himself by it, but from the higher motives, namely, because it is offensive to God, dishonors his Son, grieves his Spirit, transgresses his law, and defaces his image. If your turning from sin proceeds not from these motives, God will never regard it as acceptable in his sight. It is done for self not for God; and God will never be the reward of that work of which he is not the end." Biblical repentance is a gift, a grace, granted by God (2 Timothy 2:25). It possesses characteristics which can never be duplicated by the flesh. If these principals are at work within you, even though you may be "caught" in a trespass or transgression, you have reason to be encouraged. It is the work of God. He is the originator of that work and to the praise of the glory of His grace, He will complete that work.
There are others, however, who possess a different nature, they would "name and claim" promises which do not belong to them. Perhaps they want to be free from one sin which causes them much grief that they might take hold of yet another, whose pleasures are fresh and the consequences are yet future. They want to be free from wrath but want the pleasures of sin also. Again, I quote from Thomas Boston "…to whom Christ will be a Savior from wrath, he will be first a Savior from sin (Matthew 1:21). He will first give repentance, before he gives access to heaven; for Christ's blood was never shed to bring dogs and swine into his Father's house, but shed, 'that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar people zealous of good works' (Titus 2:4)". "You must be born again". –His Unworthy Slave
Our position. Yes. I remember a dream I once had. I was running terrified away from a giant alligator type thing... up some steps, truly running for my life. When at the top of the steps, as the monster was fast approaching behind, I realized for the first time that I had on armor. For some reason I was not aware of it before. I reached down and pulled out the sword, and with a meager bit of faith, turned and faced the creature, holding my sword up and toward it. (I knew he was going to get to me anyway, as he was pursuing faster than I could run.) What happened next startled me more than anything. That hideous thing not only stopped, but turned and fled away so instantly (around a driveway of my childhood home) that I could not with my mortal eye capture it. I only saw the dust at his lightening retreat. And it was gone. I could not slay it, because it was no longer there! I remember the sigh of relief, and the new realization- looking at the sword, and at the sheild I was wearing, and being puzzled that I had not known they were there all the time. I could stand in my POSITION in Christ, WITH the tools enabling me to do the needful battle.
I don't think dreams are necessary to live a life of freedom in Christ. But this one REMINDED me of the truth already plain in God's Word. I needed to grasp it then, and I need reminded of it today. It is so true that if we do not know our position, and our tools IN CHRIST for the battle against sin and temptation, we either run in fear, or fall prey to sin. But if we understand, and with a mustard seed of faith, turn and face our enemy with that Sword... the Word of God, we can stand in His sufficiency for the battle. Then even as in this dream, the enemy actually acted far MORE terrified at that sight than I felt when I was running for my life. God give us grace to stand in our position in Christ for His glory.
Here is a quote that I hope will help give a greater understanding of the significance of a believer's union with Christ. -His Unworthy Slave
"Union with Christ is the foundation of all spiritual blessings, so that if there had been no connection with Him, there could be no regeneration, no justification, no sanctification, no glorification …As it is for Christ's sake that God bestows upon His people all the blessings of salvation, so according to His eternal constitution those blessings could only be enjoyed in a state of communion with Him…But the foundation of that vital, spiritual, and experimental union that the saints have with their Beloved in a time state and that they will enjoy forever in Heaven was laid by God in that mystical union that He established between the Mediator and His elect before the foundation of the world, when He appointed Him to be the Head and they the members of His Body--when God gave Christ to them and gave them to Christ in everlasting marriage." A. W. Pink
I really like the blog but just wondering how the scripture Phil. 2:1 tries in to this? My eyes aren't opened to that yet. Thank you.
Philippians 2:1 was simply a cross-reference in the article. I was listing examples of where Paul moved from doctrine to practice in his epistles. That's all. Many others could have been included.
That particular verse says, Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
Whenever you see the word "therefore" in a Pauline epistle, take note. It usually means he's telling his readers how to apply the doctrine he just set forth.
That's especially true in Romans 6:12, where Paul says, Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body. Without the previous 11 verses, we'd have no foundation to obey Paul instructions in verse 12.
I hope that helps.

That's a topic Our Sunday Visitor explores in an edition just in time for the annual observance of Catholic Schools Week. You can read the whole story here.

January 14, 2009 Apple Valley, Ca.
Dear Sirs,
It is with great sadness and regret that we inform you of the decision of San Bernardino's Diocese Bishop Gerald Barnes and the diocesan Education and Welfare Board to close St. Mary's Regional Catholic School effective June 30.
This decision is the unfortunate culmination of the great difficulties that the school has had in recent years to maintain a level of enrollment needed to be "financially self-sufficient". Parents, the faculty and staff have been well aware of the challenging situation and have had raise funds over the years in the attempt of keeping the school afloat. The faculty and administration have inform to us, the parents, that the Diocese of San Bernardino has chosen in the past to subsidize the school so that it could remain open, causing a negative effect in the financial viability of the diocese true the past years and in the current economic climate subsidization is no longer possible.
As many of the High Desert Residents know, St. Mary's has been a pillar of the education in our desert communities for more than 50 years been the only Catholic School in a hundred mile radius and surrounded for no less than nine parishes.
It is sad, disappointing and frustrating that because of deficient funds an Institution with so much history and significance like St. Mary's School is going away. Our communities are in need of Catholic education; the continuation of this great vocation is essential for the spiritual growth and sustention of our kids in the Catholic faith.
It is in these times of challenge, when is of significance to have the sensibility to prioritize. I firmly believe that children education is essential in the achievement of the Catholic Church mission.
As a parent, I am inquiring for help. I found hard to accept as true that there is no alternative to keep the School open to continue with its great mission. If the factual cause for the Bishop's decision of closing the school is the deficiency of money, perhaps an individual, an order or institution in or outside the Church wish to approach to the fore of helping our school.
Best regards.
Arturo Del Campo.

I'm a fourth year Psych student, who absolutely adores and respects all living creatures. Saving both the planet and animals is a full time hobby for me. I use only organic, vegan, and cruelty free products (Lush is my fave!). I haven't eaten any animal products since grade 10 and it was the best choice I've made. I'm currently in recovery from bulimia and addiction, and helping save animals is something that keeps me going. Nothing makes me happier than my pets (both shelter pets), learning, reading/writing and doing what's best for our furry friends. Feel free to add me, never opposed to more PETA2 friends! (:

Golf Apparel, Shoes and Gloves
Whether it's breezy and overcast or the sun's brightly shining, you need to have the right golf apparel to enhance your performance in any situation. Our online golf shop offers UPF-rated shorts, skirts, T-shirts, outerwear and other athletic wear to keep you cool, comfortable and protected from the sun's rays. Driving around to different golf stores can be a hassle, but our online golf store makes it easy to select the items you want. The right pair of gloves is crucial for choking up on your club, while shallow-cleated shoes are great for gripping the turf.
Golf Balls and Clubs
In order to excel in the game of golf, you need to start with the right golf equipment and golf supplies. Achieve explosive, impressive distance with drivers, and make sure you sink the ball into the hole on the first try with putters. Wedges are used to strike a ball, making it fly high into the air before landing on the putting green, which is ideal when you need to navigate over pesky hazards, bunkers and tall grass. Keep plenty of golf balls on hand, so you don't have to go scouring the green to retrieve missing balls.

|Head's best-selling Intellistring is a hybrid set, composed of Head's RIP Power 16L gauge for the mains and RIP Feel 17 gauge for the crosses. The RIP Power is a powerful and durable multifilament. The RIP Feel, made of Head's unique Ribbon Technology, offers exceptional "bite" and a slightly muted feel. Get the best of both worlds with this hybrid set, with good durability and excellent power and spin.
Comments: Started using this string 8 years ago with the Head iS2 Oversize. Then I moved on to the
Head iX3 Oversize. The string had too much power to control an already powerful and light
frame. My current racquet is the Head IG Extreme Elite (102 inch) - smaller frame and less
powerful. With the new racquet I have tried some new strings such as Gosen AK Control 16,
Prince Lightning Pro 16, and Head Sonic Pro 17. All of them strung at 55lbs and using the
Head Smartsorb vibration damper. By far the best feeling string was the IntelliString. Ball
impact had a solid, deep popping sound while generating spin and getting the ball back
deep was easy. Control on volleys and added spin on serves was excellent. There is very little
vibration, making it the most comfortable and soft feeling of all the strings I tried. With the
Head IG Extreme Elite (102 inch) frame, the Intellistring feels like the perfect combination.
From: David, 8/12
Comments: These strings gave me more spin on both serves and baseline shots though seemed lacking in touch. I
lost a little control on my flat serve compared to the Gamma Infinity Strings I was using before. They are stiff and I noticed my
elbow and wrist were hurting after playing with them.
From: Pat, Mill Valley, CA 09/09
Comments: This was a decent string, like some others I felt the feel was a bit lacking, but I got decent enough spin
and had good power with it. The only drawback was the short lifespan, I only had it for about 3 weeks before I broke one of the
mains. I do hit with a lot of topspin on both sides, and serve with a lot of spin.
From: RJ. 08/09
Comments: I purchased these strings for my Head Microgel Monster. I really don't think these strings have anything
special. It really performed quite well on nice deep shots on rallies, but the only downside was that the ball felt quite like hitting a
"plank" most of the time, with such a dampened feel, it was hard to place shots. I used to be able to place my shots from one
corner to the next, but these strings gave too much of a dead feel after a while, so I cut them. durability was great, it lasted me a
good 2-3 months.
From: Rick, Lakewood, California, USA. 10/08
3.5 - 4.0
Comments: This is a difficult string to give feedback on. Initially it is a bit strange with damped feel to it and no
particular character. After 1/2 hour, though, I found the bite was good and topspin is an added benefit. The sound is part of the
feel for me and it is not great - but neglecting this cosmetic note, this hybrid is soft on the wrist and offers good control.
Now to the downside, I have tried the string out 4-5 times now and never achieved more than 4 hours durability (on a Luxilon I
normally reach 10hrs ). During a 1 hour training session, after initial warm-up, I mostly rally 40 minutes with heavy shots and few
breaks in between, so it is maybe equal to 3-4 sets of matchplay.
It is the mains that break first in my cases.
Im a level 4.5 player using Wilson K90 and Dumlop 200. I tried tension between 53-61 lbs same result for durability, I recommend
I cannot recommend this string for advanced players due to durability concerns, for those players with moderate spin and swing
speed it is worth a try, as it is soft on the arm but still adding both spin and control.
From: Magnus, Taipei, Taiwan. 7/08
Comments: Initially the strings are quite good, but after an hour or two of serious hitting they really wear out; in
short, this string is not worth getting.
From: Anon. 2/08
Comments: I played with Intellistring for one hour and had to stop because of elbow pain. It felt stiffer than a
polyester, and I avoid those to save my elbow. Also, it had much less spin potential than I am used to. It is hard to understand
how this string could be so popular. It is a shame to cut strings out after only an hour of use.
From: John, Surprise, AZ, USA. 12/07
Comments: Awesome string. I strung it on my Microgel extreme at 59 lbs, and since then, all my shots have landed
exactly on the baseline. No one can return any of my hard shots. You may want to string at 60- 62 for better results.
From: Garry, Hawaii. 10/07
Comments: This string was hitting pretty well in the beginning but it is not the best for hitting real
hard balls. In my experience the string lost its tension pretty quick and I had to fix the strings after every point. If
you're a power baseliner this string will just become trouble later on.
From: Jay, Springfield, PA, USA 05/06
Comments: This string isn't worth your money if you want performance. Lost
about 6-8lbs of tension after a week and will not break. you'll end up cutting these things
before you actually break it. could end up being very easy on the arms if strung low. no bite,
its like hitting with a plank of wood...
From: Anonymous, Cottonweed, AZ USA 03/06
Comments: I picked up this string about a month back, strung it quite loose
(54lb) on my Prince
synergy extender. Initially i could immediately feel more bite on my back hand and great
crsipness on the
volleys. In terms of feel however, especially on the forehand it feels a bit stiff and forehands
feel little "board
like" especially on off centre hits. What i do notice is that the strings keep their shape
amazingly and tension
loss has been much slower (i used a prince topspin 16 earlier strung at 57). Now as the
tension has slacked
just a little i find that forehands are a little tougher to control, i tend to over hit a lot more. Also
the crosses (which
are single filament) look to be fraying, though im not sure if thats normal or a sign of decay
(as one would
assume). Overall i am quite happy with this string, especially for what its done for my weak
loopy back hand,
but perhaps next time around i would get it strung a couple of pounds higher.
From: ADI
Indonesia 2/25/06
Comments: I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Luxilon Big Banger, so I
tried the Head
Intellistring. It doesn't
give quite the same power or pop, but what I find is if you string it a little looser than normal it
provides for great
spin and touch.
It is durable, but not like Luxilon (after two sets I realized it had frayed a significant amount).
And it doesn't hold
tension far as
well, but if you are looking for a string that gives you a little more bite (especially if you play on
clay) try this
string (and Luxilon
ALU Power Rough!) You make the choice!
From: Alex, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. 10/05
Comments: I can't recommend this string set. I wasn't happy with it at all. Itís
just such a blah string. Nothing spectacular about it. I found it lost tension way too quickly,
and notched up pretty quick too. The mains really didn't help with ball spin. I had it strung at
From: Sean, Santa Ana, CA, USA. 10/04
Comments: I am 16 years old and I am on my Senior High Varsity tennis team
(Plano West, number 3 in state). I have to say that the HEAD Intellistring is by far one of the
best strings Iíve ever used.
From: Peter, Plano, Texas, USA. 10/04
Comments: I'm 14 and I'm on my high school varsity team. I have to say I really
like the head Intellistring. I use it on my head Intelligence S6 Oversize and it has just begun
to truly wear to the point where it is about to break after a year and a half playing almost daily
in the spring and summer. It seems to give extra spin to the ball on slices and topspin
compared to others, but doesn't quite have as much spring. I'm now moving onto the
Gamma 17 XP Live Wire string, which has received some good reviews, but is not a hybrid.
From: Mike, Marlboro, New Jersey, USA. 4/04
Comments: I am 15 and have these strings on my Head i.x6 oversize. I love
them to death. I have had the racquet for almost a year now and haven't broken a set yet. I
play the #3 singles on my high school varsity team and have nothing but good things to say
about this string.
From: Braden, Burley, ID, USA. 3/04
Comments: I really liked this string. It has good power, excellent ball bite, good
tension maintenance, and good durability. The string has a muted feel to it, which may rub
some people the wrong way, but the performance is excellent.
From: Kevin, Austin, TX, USA. 2/04
Comments: Tennis Trainer and HS Coach ñ I loaned my Intelligence Radical
MP to my number one singles player who has been playing with the Head Prestige, strung
with Wilson string. He broke two sets in 30 minutes. His second serve started kicking over
a 10ft. fence on the ad side. He couldn't believe the way the string grabbed the ball on all
spins. My own experience is that this string is excellent in all categories. I've used it for
about a year, and have broken only one set. This is remarkable because my first serve was
clocked at 127mph and my second at 115mph. I teach constantly, and probably put in 40
hours of play with high level juniors before restringing my racquets. I recommend this string
for any advanced player.
From: Steven, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. 1/04
Comments: I played with two Head Intelligence I S.-12 racquet since the string
broke too often. I used the recommended Intelligence string, which cost me $29.99, and
broke the strings every 6-8 hours play (about every other day). I don't know the reason why it
broke so often. I used to play other racquets (e.g., Head Ti Heat) and string used to last
minimum a month or two. Is it because of string or is it due to this racquet (I S.12)?
From: Choi, Tallahassee, FL, USA. 12/03
Comments: This string felt great the first few times I hit with it, but slowly lost all
feel and became lifeless.
I'm a 5.0 all court player who strung his Head iPrestige at 56lbs.
From: Damion, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 9/03
Comments: Within one month, I broke this string twice. If you are looking for a
durable string, this one is not what you want.
From: Ben, Orlando, FL, USA. 9/03
Comments: Iím 15 years old and what I wanted was a type of string that lasts
long. This is the type of string to get. I play with heavy topspin and usually I break strings
once a week. Now with these strings it takes it a while to break. These strings are
awesome, your spin power and control will be better
From: David, Albuquerque, NM, USA. 8/03
Comments: This string is extremely stiff. For the price, you're much better off
with a high quality, softer string. If you're looking for a hybrid string, I'd recommend a
homemade polyon/multifilament hybrid. The mains on this stuff feel like a steel board. I
have tennis elbow, and this string does not help it at all.
From: Anon, 8/03.
Comments: I am 15 years old and I used the head Intellistrings before. I play
with a Triad 4.0 OS. The head Intellistrings give you great top spin, but then the strings don't
last very long. I hit the ball with a heavy topspin, which made the strings snap in 1 week. So
if you want strings with topspin you've picked the right one, but if you want durability then
don't get these.

From: Winston, Newark, CA, USA. 6/03
Comments: What a great string. I play with a Hyper Hammer 6.3 OS and I had
Prince Topspin 16g strings on it to begin with. My friend has a Head i.S6 with Head
Intellistring and I loved it. I then put Intellistring on my racquet and I loved it even more! My
shots are placed better then ever before and it's given me a surprising boost in power. It
also has a crisp touch to it, which I like. If you have the extra cash (since they are $40-$50
where I live) and you want a boost in power and control, go for the Head Intellistring. On the
same token, if you want tons of spin enhancement then I will refer you to my previous string,
Prince Topspin 16g. Although, Head Intellistring does provide some spin as well.
From: Josh, Surrey, BC. Canada 1/03
Comments: I just got my Head Ti. Heat strung with this string and I have to say, it
really brings out the power in a control racquet. I got it strung at 58lbs and I have never
played as good. I would recommend these strings for anyone who wants a mixture of power
and control.
From: Timothy Heyer, Maitland, NSW. Australia 12/02
Comments: I am 14 years old (soon to be 15 in December) and I am #1 on the
JV tennis team at my high school. I use this string on my Head i.Prestige MP and I have to
say that this string is awesome on this racquet. After putting this string on my racquet, it
always takes a few minutes to get used to, but once it's broken in, this string works wonders.
I have precise placement on all of my shots. An added plus is that the color of the string
matches my racquet, too! (Hahaha.)
From: Derek, Corpus Christi, TX. USA 10/02
Comments: I have Oversize Ti Radical. I used Forten hybrid string before and it
was so stiff and really not comfortable on my hand. Then I looked for a new string in this
website and I saw the very good reviews and feedbacks on the Intellistring. I get more
control on the ball when I use this string and also it's so soft when I hit the ball. I use 63lbs
From: Leslie, San Diego, CA. USA 10/02
Comments: I own a Ti. Radical and have tried plenty of different strings.
Including, Gamma TNT, and Babolat X-Cel Premium and none of them held tension or felt
half as good as this string. If you are a heavy hitter who still uses a lot of spin this is the
string for you. If you are using a mid- plus racquet get it strung from 58 to about 62, and you
should be very happy with the results.
From: Daniel, Houston, TX. USA 9/02
Comments: I use a Head IS 10 and have tried several strings. I love the feel &
power of the Head Intellistring 16L but break a lot of strings. It can get expensive. I have
broken strings three times in a couple of weeks.
From: Tim, Minneapolis, MN. USA 8/02
Comments: Head Intellistring 16L has been great for me. I use a Head i.S10
and this frame breaks a lot of strings. This string has lasted the longest for me. I have tried
so many strings and wasted so much money, now I will always buy this string. This string
and string savers have lasted me about 2 months. This string is great and recommended
for everyone!
From: Anonymous, Illinois, USA 7/02
Comments: The Head Intellistring 16L sting is amazing, all things considered.
The touch is great and the durability is unmatched. The string is not stiff. I don't know how
anyone could think that because it plays a perfect blend of dead feel and spring for the
baseline game. If you had trouble stinging this racquet it is only because you don't string
enough. As compared to any other durable string (anything other than a pure 16 gauge or a
lightly enforced string such as price Duraflex) it strings real easy. This string was obviously
made for players like myself.
From: Jason, Bethlehem, PA. USA 4/02
Comments: Head Intellistring 16L is my string of choice for my Prince Triple
Threat Rebel. It is the most durable string I have ever used. Even though not as powerful as
Live Wire, it has more control and lots of spin potential. It is also cheaper. I am a heavy hitter
who breaks string every 8-10 hours of play. But this string lasts 3 times longer. The strange
thing is, the crosses always break before the mains.
From: Siheng, Los Angeles, CA. USA 4/02
Comments: I play with the new i Radical Oversize racquet and just recently put
this string in it. It perfomed better than I thought it would. The ball came off the strings very
clean. The only downside was after playing for a while, I noticed some tension loss.

What Big Businesses and Economists Know: Ignore the Climate Skeptics
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Last month, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its latest report affirming that climate change is still occurring and asserting with 95% certainty that human activities are mostly to blame.
Much of the general public might not realize that this is the case, though, because some articles in the media seized on a few minor details of the IPCC report, exaggerating them or taking them out of context to make it sound as if climate change has stopped or is no longer relevant.
Meanwhile, 33 leading U.S. businesses -- including eBay
The signatories provide a total of approximately 475,000 U.S. jobs and generate a combined annual revenue of approximately $450 billion.
Many of these businesses have initiated their own internal policies and agendas for tackling climate change in the absence of federal legislation. Specifically, 102 companies from the combined 171 companies in the Fortune 100 and Global 100 have set goals to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 60%. And 24 of the companies plan to increase renewable energy use by 14% or more.
To accomplish this, many of the companies are transitioning from buying temporary Renewable Energy Credits to instead adopting longer-term investment strategies such as Power Purchase Agreements and on-site energy projects, led by a pragmatic consideration for the successful management of their businesses and to protect their bottom lines.
According to a Ceres press release : "The very same policies that can move the needle on climate change -- sourcing cleaner energy, using it more efficiently and even pricing carbon -- are quickly becoming the hallmarks of good management in boardrooms across America." <story_page_break>
What do these businesses know that climate change deniers don't? It might be just what data to pay attention to and what to ignore. Here's the kind of thing they're ignoring:
- On Sept. 28, the U.K.'s Daily Mail blasted the headline And Now It's Global Cooling! -- referring to the 29% increase in summer sea ice in the Arctic this past summer as compared with the summer before. The article failed to note that the Arctic sea ice had reached an all-time record low in summer 2012; even with the rebound, the sea ice this past summer was still the sixth-lowest on record.
- Additionally, much coverage has focused on a reference in the report to a hiatus in an increase in global surface temperatures since 1998. But it is not that the warming trend has stopped -- the first decade of the 2000s was the hottest on record -- but that most of it has been occurring in the oceans rather than on land, where a recent spate of volcanic eruptions and weather patterns such as La Nina have temporarily slowed the rise of temperatures. In the meantime, the excess carbon the ocean has been absorbing has caused it to suffer unprecedented acidification .
An uptick in articles and op-eds by climate skeptics always accompanies IPCC report releases. It's a cornerstone of the skeptics' method that has been analyzed and anticipated by experts such as InsideClimateNews.com.

Anyone who saw my thread about Reinhart's Classic dough with 25% sprouted flour can probably stop reading as the results are about the same. I used 25% sprouted @ 100% hydration and 75% bread flour @ 80% for an overall 85%. Oven spring was fantastic as was the flavor. I'd have to do a side by side comparison to give details on the differences vs all bread flour and I don't make focaccia often enough.http://www.fornobravo.com/pizzaquest/instructionals/59-written-recipes/126-focaccia-dough-recipe-genoa-style.htmlI mixed a little longer than the recipe called for.Half was topped with onion marmalade and Boursin, the other half with thinly sliced potatoes and Rosemary. My next attempt will be with 50% sprouted flour but as I said I don't make focaccia very much.Dave

Posted on 08/29/2012 4:56:12 PM PDT by Kartographer
Gov. Sean Parnell worries a major earthquake or volcanic eruption could leave the states 720,000 residents stranded and cut off from food and supply lines. His answer: Build giant warehouses full of emergency food and supplies, just in case.
For some in the lower 48, it may seem like an extreme step. But Parnell says this is just Alaska.
We have a different motivation to do this, because help is a long ways away, said John Madden, Alaskas emergency management director.
The state plans two food stockpiles in or near Fairbanks and Anchorage, two cities that also have military bases. Construction on the two storage facilities will begin this fall, and the first food deliveries are targeted for December. The goal is to have enough food to feed 40,000 people for up to a week, including three days of ready-to-eat meals and four days of bulk food that can be prepared and cooked for large groups. To put that number into perspective, Alaskas largest city, Anchorage, has about 295,000 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and Juneau, its third largest, about 31,000.
(Excerpt) Read more at shtfplan.com ...
Preppers' PING!!!
It is an odd happenstance.
I hope they rotate the food, unlike the Civil Defense food from the 50's and 60's that just wasted.
Who decides when, where, and to whom it gets distributed?
Starting years ago, NEAR telescopes were quickly and quietly installed all over the planet.
Then, massive amounts of seed stock were stored away in cold vaults in the Arctic Circle.
The government clerks want hollow point bullets on their ammo.
Stores now primarily use the JUST ON TIME inventory system, so there are no large inventories to depend on should the general public need food. Stores will run out in 3 days. (The next Revolution is 3 Missed Meals Away)
A new underground city (for the 'chosen' people) has been built in the United States, stockpiled with food and water.
We are under the THREAT (having been made very recently) of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare in lands we have military stationed.
Nothing to see here, just move along.
A mere wisp of a coincidence.
I guess the thinking was hungry people will eat anything.
"Hunger is the best sauce."
I had an odd thought.
Perhaps the asteroid which is supposed to miss us next year....isn't really supposed to miss us.
Tin foil! I haven't stocked up on tin foil. Thanks.
I guess I really can't fault them.
They had to get something together in a hurry and they did.
Then, people would have eaten it if necessary. They would have complained, but they would eat it.
Today, people would burn down a city before eating it.
People now days don't know what "sauce" is.
"...there's way to much such stockpiling being done by various government entities, entities of which many regard preppers as eccentric at best and enemies of the government at worse to be happenstance."
You're right. They want rid of us so we won't be around but they will. "They" would be government entities that are "needed" to keep people in line and preppers don't fit that mold. And, gasp!, preppers have guns and officials really don't like that. Preppers tend to think for themselves and that is also not popular with officials.
Where there just HAPPEN to be military bases...
Construction on the two storage facilities will begin this fall, and the first food deliveries are targeted for December. The goal is to have enough food to feed 40,000 people for up to a week
I got a $10 bill that says the stockpiles are not for the masses.
I remember the cans of water and the survival food packs we bought in the large square tin cans for our home fallout shelter. We also did weekend shelter drills at the local fallout shelters.
Whittier, Alaska is an unusual place with the large facility built there during the Cold War. The Hodge Building and the Buckner Building. They are both so out of place and unexpected. The area is an ice free port and usually covered by clouds that would have hid it from the prying eyes of Soviet aircraft. I've found very little information about what was planned for the base. Construction of the buildings was started in 1948 through 1953.
If the gov knew of one that was, they would never tell until it was too late to do anything for the masses.
And lets face it, the whole detection system is less than perfect. In the early nineties, an ELE asteroid came close to the earth. Problem was, no one saw it until it was going away...
The Hodge building was converted to apartments and condos (this is the one billing in town where everyone lives) it is now "Begich Tower"! The Buckner building was abandoned after the 64 quake and today is an a spooky concrete shell.
I live in Alaska and especially during the winter the state is vulnerable to having a fresh food supply line disconnected.
Most of us in rual Alaska normally stockpile in the summer for the long winter. Soon when the Permanent Fund checks are doled out the smart ones swoop down on Costco and nuy in bulk, my wife works at a food warehouse just so she has an inside track on whats up and she gets dented but salvageable items every day, and my self when our local Walmart for the first time ever started to carry the one gallon cans of the Augason Farms dehydrated foods I bought about 80 cans. And thats not all, I have extra water though we have a well and a manual pump.
Alaska has told Obama to go pound sand on many different issues and its probably conceivable that the elected officials might consider doing something ahead of time just in case Obama decided to punish states that defy his pogroms, if there was any tin foil hat to wear I would wear that one.
Bottom line is this, Alaskans know how to survive and have an inner feeling on what to do if they get a gut feeling something is going to happen.
A mere wisp of a coincidence.
Or mayhap just a fig newton of the imagination?
I live in Alaska, too, and I ditto Eye of Unk. We're never far from a situation - earthquake, blizzard, power outage.
Or $8.00 a gallon for gas.
That would stop much of the truck transportation.
It sounds to me as though the Alaskan State government is doing its job.
I wonder if they stockpiled any fig newtons. Those things are great, ... and healthy.
Joseph, son of Israel, bump. Good idea, Alaska.
This exercise assumes that the food can get to the people or the people can get to the food. A terrorist EMP attack or a massive solar CME (coronal mass ejection) will wipe out most means of transportation and Alaska is a BIG state.
Mother Nature is not as forgiving of idiots up in Alaska. Not many OWS protesters sleeping out with the Grizzly Bears either. At least... none that can be found.
Good questions but still, the more they have stockpiled, the more there is to go around. Every little bit helps.
Uh... there are always ways.
We have a railroad, even if for some obscure mechanical reason the diesel electric engines cannot run we have steam powered engines.
I can imagine now a New Alaska rising from the ashes of a global war, all our transportation is done by steam, fuel is from CNG available to all, natural gas heats the homes, fuels the cars, trucks and trains. The foraging moose by the thousands are now corralled and harvested for meat.
Many farms in the Mat Su Valley now raise their own moosemeat.During the summer months we grow half ton cabbages and meter long carrots. All fishing regulations have been discarded, many non natives who used to rely upon the stores now smoke fish, can veggies and build giant pantries at home.
Meanwhile those in Anchorage begin to starve without their Federal assistance checks, they riot, they freeze, they eat their wounded.
Sadly the Knik River Bridge is now a fortified gate limiting access of the Anchorage Zombies.
Well, there you go, Ben! obomo needs a panic emergency to stay in power....so the classic October surprise becomes a January surprise! "Sorry folks, Bruce Willis is just an actor and we're about to get slammed by one big a$$ hammer so we can't be changing our government right now. This martial law will continue for only as long as is necessary and not one day more....."
If the commie govt. wants to stockpile large quantities of ammo for my guns, just tell us all where it is so we can access it if we need it....
Yep...an asteriod named 'Trayvon-223'.
The caves around here used to be designated Civil Defense shelters and stocked with old MREs but those were all moved out decades ago and trashed 25 years ago. I don't recall seeing a Civil Defense Shelter sign posted in years.
Right there with you Kartographer. Based on the actions of the powers that be, they are expecting something nasty and soon.
Yep, The Iditarod only takes anywhere from 9 to 15 days and at least six out of twelve dogs in the team have to survive. Alaska is a BIG state.
Hey, Give me team and a good lead dog and a sled thats built so fine, Let me race those miles to Nome, one-thousand-forty-nine, Then when I get back to my home, hey I can tell my tale
I did, I did, I did The Iditarod Trail
Unk, how deep is your well and what kind of manual pump do you use? I have a generator that will drive the pump but if an extended outage occurred I would eventually run out of gas, thus no water. Thanks
Its a simple diaphragm pump like what you would use on a barrel, you can get them at AIH, I'm also cursed to a degree of having a high water table, its only about 8 foot down, was a bear when I had to install a concrete septic tank, it actually floated until I filled it with water.

Intel Corp. this week announced its new marketing campaign called "Sponsors of Tomorrow". The campaign will promote Intel's brand name, not a specific product, for the first time in Intel history. It is logical for Intel to advertise its own name first since the company is transforming from microprocessor company to platforms and solutions company.
"For more than 40 years Intel has been delivering tomorrow's 'normal', and our new marketing campaign is a way for the world to be made aware of this fact. We're hoping to convey that we're not just a microprocessor company, but a move-society-forward-by-quantum-leaps company," said Deborah Conrad, Intel vice president and general manager of corporate marketing group.
The multi-million-dollar marketing campaign is the largest for Intel since "Multiply", the September 2006 campaign that supported the then-new Intel Core 2 Duo. "Sponsors of Tomorrow" is expected to have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, and was created by Venables Bell & Partners in San Francisco. It is the first campaign for Intel by the agency since being awarded Intel's master brand account in January.
"Most of the world knows Intel as a huge, multi-national chipmaker, but the company is much more than that. The more we learned about Intel, the more we realized how narrow our perception had been. This company is forging the future in so many unfathomable ways, and what a shame it is that the general consumer has no idea," said Paul Venables, the agency's founder and co-creative director.
Intel needs the new campaign not only to inspire interest towards new technologies, which is likely to boost sales of various devices, but also to boost importance of the Intel brand. Years ago Intel only sold microprocessors, but nowadays the company supplies various technologies (as parts of its platforms), core-logic sets, system-on-chip products, software and other products. Intel is very close to enter the market of consumer electronics with its Atom and other chips and will soon release its discrete graphics processors. Therefore, the best way of advertising Intel's products is to advertise the brand itself.
The phased launch begins May 11 in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. The campaign debuts in China and India later this month, and in June is scheduled to be introduced in the following countries: Australia, Canada, France, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam. Additional parts of Latin America and Africa are scheduled for June introductions, and Brazil and Japan are slated for August and September, respectively.
Retail campaigns encompass a range of executions, from merchandising materials and in-store demos to online ads and training for retail salespeople. The essence of "Sponsors of Tomorrow" will also be incorporated into Intel's online materials developed to assist consumers researching PC purchases. A heavy internal campaign is already underway at Intel campuses throughout the world.

Viau's View/Scott Viau
I love Halloween. I don't really do too much to celebrate it, but I love seeing what everyone else is doing. It is my firm belief that everyone is entitled to at least one good scare during this time of ghosts, goblins, witches and demons. And there's no better way to get that scare than a horror film. Although sneaking up behind someone and shouting "Boo!" can work just as well, as I'm wont to do.
As I grow older, I've noticed that my taste for scary movies has somewhat diminished. I still like them, but I don't seek them out as actively as I did when I was younger.
For example, when I was around the age of 11 or 12 (I can't remember when exactly) I was desperate to see Wes Craven's "The Last House on the Left." After all that I had read about it, it seemed like a movie that could completely destroy me on a psychological level. I called around to all the local video stores to see if they carried it. At that time, Escanaba had much more than just a Family Video from which to rent movies. I finally found it at Front Row Video in Gladstone. I rented it with much glee and anticipation … but then I found myself too scared to actually watch it. I couldn't bring myself to do it. But I eventually mustered up the courage and popped the VHS tape into my VCR. I was, in a word, disappointed. Was it graphic? Yeah, a little. But it just didn't live up to all the hype that had surrounded it. This was a movie that been banned in the U.K. for some time. I expected it to completely change my view of horror films, but it didn't.
That wouldn't come until a couple of years later when another Wes Craven film came out: "Scream." At the time, my Mom had a strict policy regarding R-rated movies, which is that I couldn't watch them if they contained any nudity. She didn't seem to mind the violence or strong language, but sexuality was a no-no. To my delight, I found the film was rated R only for language and violence. I had my Mom buy me a ticket and sat in the theater enjoying every minute of it. Now this was a movie that completely changed how I viewed horror films. They could be fun, funny, self-referential and endlessly reward the viewer for their knowledge of scary movies. I eventually saw the movie three times in the theater. Sometimes I can still get a whiff of how it smelled in there. When it came out on VHS, it was all I rented.
Fortunately, there's Halloween to allow us to revisit the horror films we've come to love. Just the other day SyFy was showing films from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. Out of all the cinematic horror villains, Freddy Krueger is by far my favorite. Yeah, he became more of a jokester over the years, but it just made him a lot more fun than Jason or Michael Myers were. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Krueger. Although the films don't scare me like they did when I was a kid, it's still fun to rewatch them.
One movie that I especially like to watch during this time is the somewhat little known film "Trick 'r Treat." It's an anthology film much in the vein of "Creepshow," but all the stories intertwine. It's very clever and well-constructed. And it did that I've been wanting horror films to do for quite some time:?treat kids as adult and not just have them there as untouchable victims.
Of course, there's the grandfather of these films, "Halloween." I like the first, second and seventh as a trilogy, but the rest are just kind of awful. I'm not including here "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch," which had nothing to do with Michael Myers, but was an offshoot of the "Halloween" franchise.
Then there's that little doll that everyone loves to hate: Chucky. I never found Chucky that scary. It always seemed that you could just give him a well placed kick and he would go flying out a window. Although there's a special place in my heart for the original film, as it's the first R-rated movie my mom let me watch when I was a kid.
Whatever movie you decide to watch, make sure it's something that will truly frighten you and give you the best Halloween ever.

We look at the pros and cons of the juicing phenomenon and offer three tasty combos.
Juicing is�super-trendy: If you�re not already doing it, you probably think you should be.�But is juicing�pulverizing creative combinations of fruits, vegetables and herbs either in a blender or special juicing machine that separates liquid from pulp�really the�key to a healthier diet? Here are the pros, cons and pointers from some of the nation�s top nutrition experts.

Juicing can be a shortcut to a more nutritious diet. You�d have to chomp your way through about 8 carrots to get the amount of cancer-fighting carotenoids found in one cup of carrot juice, and 10 cups of spinach to get the amount of heart-healthy folate found in a single cup of spinach juice, says registered dietitian Kelly Morrow of Bastyr University�s Center for Health, in Seattle.
Juicing can help the body�s natural detox process. All plants, whole or juiced, contain nutrients that help your body rid itself of toxins�antioxidants like polyphenols and vitamin C, compounds in cruciferous vegetables like 3-indole carbinol, which stimulates the liver, and the anti-inflammatory gingerol, found in ginger root. �There are more components in fruits and vegetables than we know, more than you will ever find in a pill,� says Dr. Susan Blum, a functional medicine doctor practicing in Rye Brook, N.Y.
Juicing can fill in the gaps for people with digestive issues. Concoctions made in a juicer �can be helpful for people who simply cannot tolerate high-fiber diets�those with inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or who have had gastric bypass surgery,� Morrow says. �It allows them to get these whole food nutrients with less GI distress.�
RELATED: Learn more about types of juicing from a registered dietitian.
Juicing could sabotage efforts to control blood sugar or lose weight. That same lack of fiber, though, could be a minus for others. �Fiber helps to slow the absorption of sugars and create a feeling of fullness, so, in general, it�s a good thing to consume,� Morrow says. One way around it: Combine both juices and whole foods in a blender, suggests Cherie Calbom, author of the Big Book of Juices and Green Smoothies.
Juicing can make it easy to overdo it on sugar. The juices of fruits and even vegetables like carrots and beets are relatively high in sugar, notes Blum. A blend that uses mostly vegetables is the best way to keep sugar low.
Juicing can be pricey.�A large glass of homemade juice will run around $3, depending on the ingredients. A good juicer that�s easy to clean, such as The Juice Master Pro, costs about $200.�Juicing advocates suggest using organic produce to avoid toxins, which can put even more pressure on your pocketbook.

STATIONERY store Paperchase has opened in Henley without planning permission for its shop front.
The company says it has been given permission for timber stallrisers and pilasters but the planning authority insists it has not.
As the Standard reported last week, the Bell Street shop had a second application recommended for refusal by Henley Town Council�s planning committee.
The original plans, which included frameless glass double entrance doors, were said to be out of keeping with the conservation area. The shop, which is in the former Clinton Cards store, opened for business on Wednesday last week.
Dieter Hinke, who chairs the town council�s planning committee, said: �I am disappointed that Paperchase didn�t talk to us and just arrogantly went ahead. I have asked many times, through the Standard and South Oxfordshire District Council, for a representative from Paperchase to come and talk to us.
�This is an old market town and it needs to retain its character. That is very important to us and the people who shop here.
�It would be interesting to see what Standard readers think. Maybe people will like it but I personally don�t � this is the main conservation area.
�My concern is if this becomes a trend then the shops in Henley would look dreadful.�
Councillor Martin Akehurst called the shop�s sky blue front �appalling�, adding: �I am sure they could have chosen a better corporate colour than that. Shops like Starbucks do quite a good job.�
The district council is currently considering a suggestion from the town council that the shop�s hanging sign should be made of natural materials instead of gloss black aluminium.
A Paperchase spokeswoman said the company wouldn�t comment because the shop had been given planning
But a district council spokesman said: �No decision has been made as the amended plans are still being considered.�

Chinese herbal medicine good for chemo side effects
Source: http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2012/04/03/herbal-medicines-get-some-more-respect/
Some patients and doctors swear by the healing power of herbs and other plants, but their chemical complexity makes them notoriously difficult to study.
Some headway is being made, however, as WSJs In The Lab column reports. New research suggests a four-herb combination long used in traditional Chinese medicine helps curb some side effects of chemotherapy.
Another example of an herbal treatment breaking into the halls of Western medicine is that of ingenol mebutate, a skin cream that is extracted and purified from the dried Euphorbia peplus plant, commonly known as petty spurge. The cream gets rid of precancerous skin lesions and prevents their recurrence, according to recent research published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Denmark-based LEO Pharma produces the cream, which was approved in January by the FDA, under the brand name Picato.
The plant itself was used as a home remedy for skin conditions in Australia, says Mark Lebwohl, first author on the study and chairman of the dermatology department at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. It grows everywhere, "including the sidewalks of Manhattan, he tells the Health blog.
While there are many treatments to get rid of precancerous skin lesions, Lebwohl says, other creams tend to take much longer to work and seem to be more irritating to the skin than ingenol mebutate. Freezing lesions off tends to leave scars and the rate at which they come back is fairly high.

Singer and missionary to minister at Silver Creek church
SILVER CREEK – On Feb. 10, classical singer and missionary George Miller will present a live concert during the morning worship service at the Silver Creek Assembly of God Church. The church is located at 1385 Route 20. The service will begin at 10:30 a.m. The public is welcome.
In 1977 Miller's life was dramatically changed. He had been working in Buffalo and living a life of fear, anger, frustration and sadness. A co-worker and friend talked with Miller about making a decision to invite Jesus into his life. Miller had always been impressed with the peace his friend seemed to exhibit in every situation and decided that he wanted to experience the same peace and joy in his own life, so he responded to his friend's invitation. Since that time Miller has not looked back nor regretted the decision that changed his life. He immediately began attending church and was soon changing lives for others as well.
His passion to comfort those who are hurting soon led him to begin using his talents in churches and prisons throughout Western New York and the Eastern Coast of the United States. His many years of training in classical music served him well during those years.
In 1999 Miller felt himself called to overseas missions where his greatest joy is felt when he is serving in the prevention of human trafficking through helping to build orphanages and finding sponsors for the innocent children orphaned by disease and violence. He has served in churches and orphanages in the Ukraine, Albania, Greece, the Balkans, Kosovo, Uganda, Africa, the Philippines, Indonesia, Dulfur, Sudan and Ethiopia.
Miller is currently a missionary associated with Hope and Help International. He will be leaving on Feb. 11 to serve in India. While there he will be participating in the building of an orphanage.
Miller lives in Buffalo with Diane, his wife of 37 years. He is quick to point out that his wife is his greatest support and most humble critic. The Millers are the parents of six children and grandparents of four grandchildren.
For more information, call the church office at 934-4782.

A rail trail — by popular demand
Perhaps the oddest criticism yet directed at those who want to create a recreational trail on the old Adirondack railroad line from Lake Placid to Old Forge came from Bill Branson in his Sept. 24 commentary entitled "Elitists skew truth about railroad." Mr. Branson, who is president of the Adirondack Railway Preservation Society, describes those who favor a recreational trail as "the elite few (who) really seek to exclude the general public from this asset that is the travel corridor."
A great public asset it surely is, and my recent experience with other rail-to-trail conversions shows how this asset can best be utilized. But "popular" seems a more appropriate word than "elitist" to describe these year-round, multi-use rail trails. My dictionary defines popular as "widely liked or appreciated" and as "suited to or within the means of ordinary people." Elitist, on the other hand, connotes privilege and a sense of superiority.
My wife and I recently returned from a two-week vacation. Our objective was to ride our bikes on rail trails with similarities to our proposed Adirondack Rail Trail, which would run 90 miles from the Tri-Lakes to Old Forge. The trails we rode on included the former trolley line connecting Glens Falls and Lake George, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail between the Hudson River and the Shawangunk Mountains, the York County (Pennsylvania) Heritage Trail from the city of York to the Mason-Dixon Line, and the Torrey Brown Trail that continues from the Pennsylvania border to Hunt Valley in Maryland.
While riding these trails, we encountered people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Our shared purpose was to enjoy fresh air and pleasant exercise in a safe, serene setting.
Yes, we did see some athletic-looking cyclists and runners zipping along. But many were more leisurely, retirement-age bicycle riders like us. There were mothers pushing strollers containing happy infants. There were little kids on little bikes (some with training wheels) and even smaller kids riding behind a mother or father in a bike seat. Along the way, people were resting on benches or eating at picnic tables. Some were taking a short walk during lunch hour. Others were out before or after work: jogging, cycling, walking their dogs. On many trails, wheelchair use, either self-propelled or powered by an electric motor, was also an option.
Young and old, fast and slow, fat and skinny, all delighting in the outdoors in their own way and at their own pace on trails that never exceeded a grade of 2 percent.
We stopped often to read interpretive signs explaining the history of the places we were passing through. We lingered in the restored railroad stations that served as coffee shops and mini-museums, showing how the railroads of an earlier era had shaped the character of the region. It struck us that the converted rail beds, now used for public recreation, were serving the same function the railroads once did: enriching lives, shaping communities, boosting local economies.
Another reason that rail trails are so popular is that they are free of charge. It doesn't cost anything to use them. Compare this to the cost of taking the tourist train from Lake Placid to Saranac Lake – and the much greater cost for passengers if rail service is restored on the entire line, as Mr. Branson and his colleagues propose. And then there's their dream of restoring high-end Pullman service from New York City to Lake Placid by way of Albany and Utica! This overnight service, they tell us, would be used by upscale customers eager to shell out big bucks to travel 12 to 15 hours to Lake Placid (mostly in the dark) and then reverse the process in a day or two.
In describing rail-trail advocates as "elitists," Mr. Branson claims that "they view the public as unwashed and undesirable, and in actuality would be happier if the corridor reverted to a wild state." It is hard to know where Mr. Branson gets his information. The board of directors of Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates consists of an assortment of business people, snowmobilers, bikers, hikers, trail blazers, environmentalists, history buffs, a law enforcement officer and a retired schoolteacher. The organization is backed by 12,000 petition signers who are walkers, cyclists, runners, strollers, snowmobilers, nature lovers, parents, grandparents, dog owners, etc. In addition, ARTA is supported by more than 400 businesses that see the Adirondack Rail Trail as a potential tourist destination that will attract a great many visitors who will patronize inns, motels, B&Bs, restaurants, bike shops, outdoor outfitters, book stores, health food stores, art galleries, museums – you name it.
Like so many other rail trails throughout the country, the Adirondack Rail Trail will be enjoyed not just once but over and over again by residents and visitors of diverse interests and physical abilities. And we are talking now about hundreds of thousands of trail users annually! As a result, our local economy will be strengthened, new businesses added, new jobs created.
What could be more "popular" and less "elitist" than that?
Dick Beamish is a resident of Saranac Lake and a board member of ARTA.

- Labels Armada Music Bundles
- Catalog ARDI3289
- Description The voice of Australian singer Emma Hewitt has ever been the leading light in successful tracks of several leading names in EDM. This time, it's her own tune 'Rewind', taken from her 'Burn The Sky Down' album, that gets a remix treatment, by producers tyDi, Dabruck & Klein, KATFYR and Mikkas.It's been nearly half a year since Emma Hewitt introduced the world to her very first artist album. 'Burn The Sky Down' received a very warm welcome, and its singles 'Colours', 'Foolish Boy' and 'Miss You Paradise' all became big successes. Still stretching the curve, Emma now releases the remix-pack of 'Rewind'. A deep, powerful tune that invited tyDi, Dabruck & Klein, KATFY and Mikkas to create their very own interpretation.German duo Dabruck & Klein, big fans of Emma, transformed the mysterious 'Rewind' into a rocking peak-time house tune, with immediate impact. Portuguese project KATFYR, who previously remixed Emma's 'Foolish Boy', was also invited to drench 'Rewind' with their nrivalled Dubstep sound. Australia's rising star tyDi shows his vocal-chop skills, and delivers a warm, melodic prog remix, while Mikkas brings out all colours with a big-room approach. Four original remixes, each with their own unique sound.

Embraer is so proud of its $18.4 million Legacy 500 business jet that it made a six-minute Hollywood-style promotional video to promote it. If you want to make big bucks you gotta spend big. Apparently the Mach 0.82 Legacy 500 can travel through space (not) and carries a bluish glow that could be from re-entry (not). It can carry eight passengers 2,800 nm or four passengers for 3,000 nm. On shorter flights it can carry 12 passengers.

Kate Betts, author of Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style
"Why Style Matters: First Ladies and Their Impact on American Fashion"
Every first lady makes an impression, whether she means to or not. Some arrive at the White House already well versed in the sartorial requirements of the job—what Lady Bird Johnson referred to as the "harness of hairdo and gloves"—and embrace the style-setting authority of the role as Jacqueline Kennedy did in 1961. Others resent the expectation, failing to grasp why what makes them feel comfortable should be the public's business. This talk will look at how first ladies—from Dolley Madison to Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama—have affected American style and changed the way women in this country dress for work, for the public spotlight, and for themselves.

GOYANG, South Korea – The U.S. National Sled Hockey Team lost to Canada, 1-0, today in the gold medal game of the 2013 International Paralympic Committee World Championship at Goyang SPART Complex. Goaltender Steve Cash (Overland, Mo.) made 14 saves, allowing one goal in the second period.
"We didn't play a real consistent game through the three periods," said Jeff Sauer, head coach of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. "I thought Canada played better than we did. I wish the goal that they scored as the game winner was a better goal. To play in a World Championship and only have two goals scored against you and not win the gold medal is pretty frustrating. But we played hard, we played well and we represented the United States very well."
Cash's effort was critical in the early going as he made five first period stops. Though not a save, Cash's biggest play was breaking up a pass on a Canadian two-on-one.
Canada scored the decisive goal at 2:07 of the second period. Graeme Murray's lofted point shot looked to be going wide until it skipped left along the ice, deflected off Cash and rolled over the goal line.
Josh Pauls (Green Brook, N.J.) had Team USA's best chance of the second frame, a rising attempt that goaltender Corbin Watson punched just over the crossbar.
Team USA created more chances in the third period, yet it could not score the equalizer. Canada clogged the middle to block shots, including a blast by Pauls from the high slot with six minutes to go.
Today's game concludes the 2012-13 campaign for the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. Team USA finished the season with a record of 14-3-0 (W-L-T).
