Comments: August 26, 2013 Update from Aug. 16 comments. The STORY GETS WORSE! Ultimate continues to disappoint, even in the 12# size. Most recently I tried using a uniknot for baits on my spinning reel and it broke every time I tested the knot. Finally had to use a Palomar which worked some better. EQUALLY BAD was the line twist coming off the spool near the end, and the way the line curled above the knot when I cinched it. Going back to Sufix or P-Line. I understand Sufix has a copolymer called Superior which Bernie Schultz uses. If it's as good as their Elite AND with lower stretch, it should be excellent. Hope TW will look into carrying it.
From: Ed: Champaign, IL.
Comments: August 16, 2013. I, too, have found this line in 14# to be as stated, strong and low stretch, BUT, not very limp AND the WORST PART was knot strength. It took me 4 times to tie a uni-knot without the line breaking at the knot. I had better success with the 12#--more limp and knots held better, BUT I won't be buying Ultimate again. The EZ MONO was a lot more limp, even in 17# and had better knot stre
From: Ed: Champaign, IL.
Comments: Spooled this line on a bait caster about a month ago. It is strong, sensitive, cast great, durable, very low stretch mono/co-poly, and handles very well. I have had no issues with this line. Yesterday, I spooled 10# on a spinning reel. Fished all day, no problems, including a 6 lb'r. Filled the spool 1/16" from the lip(I always stretch my line after spooling), flipped the bail and it stayed put. Other wise, same as above. I had to spool label down, which is unusual, but happens occasionally with other lines as well. This line will be replacing all reels I have spooled with Senshi. Cost less too. This line doesn't advertise, " High Impact Knot-Strength ", also known as " Stretch ". Knots are great, this is a truly low stretch mono, keep the lb test in mind.
From: CF
Comments: The claims seem valid: strong, thin diameter, low stretch. The downside is that memory can be a problem, so it depends on what you most want in a line. For now, this will probably be my backup to Sufix.
From: sb
Comments: just bought this line a week ago. i promise there is not another monofilament on the market that has less stretch than this line.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Destroy our public safety
When city officials in Iron River stick their heads in the sand, and are totally nonchalant about police services and public safety, it makes me very angry. It should make a lot of people angry.
When people come into the city, whether they're traveling through, work in Iron River, shop in Iron River, or do any other activities they are afforded the same police protection as residents of the community.
The population of Iron River is about 3,000 people, but obviously temporarily increases at certain times. To minimize this is totally absurd.
To make a statement that, "some crimes in Iron River are not committed by Iron River residents," doesn't even deserve a response.
To focus on cutting police services only, I would say that these officials wake up and smell the coffee. All city employees draw a wage and benefits. To pick out the police and virtually destroy our public safety is unconscionable.
All employees of the city should be commended for doing the best they can with what they have to work with. They are all well trained.
Police officers in this day-and-age are required to have a college education. Of course they pay for it. Most pay the cost of going to the police academy which is 16 weeks long. The state of Michigan requires this, when officers receive employment they are mandated to have so much training every year, state requirement to keep working as police officers.
The day of city officials putting a badge on someone and issuing a service weapon are long gone.
Oh, the words used, go out there and arrest people or do your job, which is unclear to begin with. Those days are long past. We never want those days to ever come back.
The present chief of police has many years of dedicated service to the community. He puts a tremendous amount of overtime into what he does.
He is not compensated for all the extra hours he puts in. He is a man of honor, courage, commitment and integrity. To force him to retire is totally uncalled for. All the officers deserve respect and to be thanked for putting their lives on the line for the citizens of the community. Every time they put the uniform on they are proud to serve.
To say they are overpaid is definitely not true. They sacrifice their family time, work holidays, shift work is a challenge, but they do what they have to do to get the job done and keep us safe, including all the people coming into the community.
These city officials better wake up, but of course if they keep on sleeping, we are in big trouble.
This incident that happened recently involving a child playing in a city park, having come in contact with methamphetamine material could have been a tragedy. It was a miracle that the adult recognized what it could possibly be and called police.
Some of us remember the methcathinone ("Cat") that plagued Iron County. It took a concerted effort of all law enforcement agencies in the county, and UPSET (Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team) to gather intelligence to take these drug dealers down. We absolutely cannot let this happen again.
Law enforcement officers out in the community making contact with people do gather information needed to solve crimes.
Someone quoted: "The citizens are the eyes or ears of the police." Without them police would have a lot of difficulty trying to do their job.
Contrary to some people's thinking, little birds flying overhead do not give information to the police.
The chief of police in Iron River is hired to run the department as he sees fit. He has done a marvelous job and the community is lucky to have him. He doesn't need interference from city officials to do his job.
All police that serve the public deserve our support, just think what this country would be like if we didn't have law enforcement.
In closing – wouldn't it be a tragedy if you called 911 and you needed the police right away and the 911 dispatcher says "Sorry, we do not have an officer to respond." Do you blame the 911 center? Absolutely not. As they are not out there.
When city officials post meeting times on the City Hall door at 4 p.m., and the meeting is the next day, how many people go to the City Hall when they are closed? It might be legal – technically 24 hours? It sure is not ethical.
Do you think we are being hoodwinked? I believe so.

Bad move, New York Jets.
Let's see if we've got this straight: The Jets just traded the best player on their roster, all-pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, for the 13th pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night and a fourth- or maybe third-round choice in next year's draft?
Chalk it up as another Jets blunder, an offseason butt fumble.
BUCS BUY AN ISLAND: Revis gets 6 years, $96M
MORE JETS: Sanchez questions Tebow acquisition
PIMP HIS RIDE: Tebow's car gets overhauled
New Jets general manager John Idzik, undoubtedly with the support of team owner Woody Johnson, can't be blamed for past transgressions. Idzik didn't trade for Tim Tebow, hire Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator or fail to support Mark Sanchez with enough receivers or a legitimate running game. He didn't grant the legendary Broadway Joe Namath the sideline pass that put him in close proximity to Suzy Kolber, either.
But he owns this move. Revis Island has relocated to Florida, and it's an NFL Moneyball move that didn't have to happen.
Imagine how Tom Brady feels about it. The New England Patriots quarterback might be moved to allow Rex Ryan to kiss his Super Bowl rings.
Poor Rex. He embodies the rare coach who, through a series of circumstances, can be transformed from a cocky loudmouth that is easy to target for jeers into a sympathetic figure deserving a break. Now pretty much muzzled, Ryan doesn't have the same persona that he had while guiding the Jets to back-to-back AFC title-game appearances in his first two seasons.
Different guy, different team.
And surely, dealing Revis, 27, to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- and at that price -- was not a scheme designed by Buddy Ryan's son. In fact, during NFL meetings in Arizona last month, Ryan insisted that he didn't want to trade his best player.
For Ryan's blitz-heavy defensive schemes to work, it helps to have shutdown cornerbacks providing comfort that the best receivers are put in check. Antonio Cromartie can handle one, but in Revis -- whose recovery from surgery to repair a torn ACL progressed to the point that the Bucs signed him to a five-year, $96 million contract just hours after he arrived for a medical check-up -- there was a foundation block.
Then again, the trade also sends a strong signal that Ryan's defense will not be around with the Jets for much longer. Remember, the Chicago Bears got a new GM last year in Phil Emery and started the new year by firing coach Lovie Smith after he won 10 games.
New bosses typically roll with their own people.
The Revis trade reverberates that much. It looks like a paradigm shift, with the smart money betting that Ryan won't coach the Jets past the 2013 season.
Brace yourselves, Jets fans. It's going to be another long, dramatic season.
Yet on the immediate horizon, it figures that the Jets will look to draft a cornerback this week (maybe even with one of the first-round picks), to help replace the proven all-pro in his prime they will be hard-pressed to replace.
To some degree, the motivation behind the trade is understandable. Revis, a seventh-year veteran, was heading into the final year of his contract. Negotiations to re-sign him would have likely involved headaches, knowing the value that he places on his skill and the holdouts of the past.
The deal Revis signed with the Bucs averages $16 million per year, instantly matching the mark by Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams as the NFL's highest-paid defensive player. Somewhere, emerging Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman -- still playing on a rookie contract that can't be renegotiated -- is taking note.
It was Sherman who engaged in a silly Twitter spat with Revis recently about, well, bragging rights as the NFL's best corner.
Right now, Revis has the last laugh on Sherman because of his new contract.
The Jets knew that had they been unable to strike a new deal with Revis, he could have walked. And they also knew what type of financial commitment it would have taken.
Sometimes, it's worth it, and a matter of managing the rest of the cap dollars effectively. The key is making the cap-friendly picks work, and obviously Idzik is banking on himself as a talent evaluator -- even though he has no experience in grading NFL talent.
So, starting over, the draft picks can provide new foundation players -- provided that Idzik, now armed with two of the top 13 picks on Thursday night, picks the right players. The Jets need a lot. A pass-rusher. A running back. A receiver. A tight end.
And now another cornerback.
Surely, filling Revis' roster spot with a player whose earning power will be restricted by the rookie wage scale, makes it easier to stomach the $12 million hit the Jets will have to swallow on the $123 million salary cap.
But, assuming he makes a full recovery, at least you know what you're getting from Revis. Draft picks are possibilities, albeit much cheaper. They could hit or miss. If Idzik miscalculates, Jets fans will never forget.
Besides, it's not like the Jets scored a haul that draws comparison to the Herschel Walker trade. No, they just helped the Bucs go a long way toward solidifying their secondary with a man on a mission to prove that he's still the best cornerback in the NFL.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (480 votes).
In short: InspiringIn full: Thanks to the marshalls, and the TA lads - you're all obviously used to the rain- all smiles despite the grim weather! Tough course, but the reward is a quick last 6 miles. Running through Dores was the highlight, great support.Date of review: October 6, 2006
In short: Fantastic place for my first marathon- want to do another one soon!In full: I guess the people who organise the Loch Ness Marathon are aware how remote the city of Inverness is and how it can't be treated like a day trip. To compensate for this, they organise a fantastic event and make it worth runners' efforts in getting up there and staying overnight. I ran in the marathon and my wife did the 10K. We were both first-timers at the event and it left a great impression on us- will definately be back in the highlands again next year!Date of review: October 6, 2006
In short: My first marathon - definitely not my last!In full: A fantastic race with great camaraderie between runners. Many thanks to all the volunteers and supporters who braved the weather. It's a shame that the mist hid some of the scenery - I drove the course the day after and the views are stunning. Still, gives me an excuse to come back next year. Great T-shirt as well and, unlike other races I've done, available in a generous XL size (for us 'chunky' runners).My only gripe - can we have a pee break on the bus next year?Date of review: October 6, 2006
In short: A Classic raceIn full: I don't know if it was the fact it was a Marathon or it was Loch Ness but together this was more special than I could of ever imagined. The togetherness of the runners and the effort put in by everyone was fantastic. Maybe not next year but definately do it again. I'd recommend this for anyone Date of review: October 5, 2006
In short: First marathon and the best race I have ever done!In full: This was my first marathon and I really enjoyed it - it was the most-well organised race I have ever done! Couldn't do anything about the weather, but the support along the way from all those guys out in the rain (especially the soaking wee TA boys!)and the organisation at the end was fantastic. I am still on a high, would highly recommend it and will definitely do it again - next time I want to see the scenery as well!Date of review: October 4, 2006
In short: The wet and windy weather failed to dampen the spirits of all involved with this event. Suuport throughout - excellent!Date of review: October 4, 2006
In short: Great Race, Undulating means hilly!In full: This was my third and best marathon. Not only as I got under 4 hours for the first time but because it was so well organised and everybody could not do enough. Great organisation - next year let me see Urquart Castle.Well done to all the volunteers and marshals you guys did a great job in terrible conditionsDate of review: October 4, 2006
In short: Undulating, wet and very rewardingIn full: Probably not the best choice for my first time but any dampener put on my time by the undulations and heavy rain should mean I can go much faster when I do an 'easier' one!Book your accomodation well in advance though - many of the runners are travelling and staying over.Date of review: October 4, 2006
In short: 'Undulating', but it keeps you coming back for moreIn full: This was my second Loch Ness Marathon after originally running it in 2003. I'd completely forgotten how many undulations there are in the first few miles. A challenging run, and I'd agree with a previous commentator that I love it and hate it in equal measure because of thta. Not much the organisers can do about the weather, but in most over respects they do enough in my book to justify the very positive feedback they receive each year. A number of small gripes (none of which individually or combined would put me off doing it again) - not enough portaloos at the start; too many bikers on the route; too many tourists on the pavement down by the river. Too many positive aspects to list. Keep up the good work and don't rest on your laurels!!Date of review: October 3, 2006

Longtime member (1999 or so), frequent reader, infrequent poster...FWIW, will never know if this is the real deal or not, but I received it from someone who I deem a very credible person and Buckeye fan and thought if nothing else I would share and leave it to you to decide the validity. As a side note - I'm overseas and flying back to States in a few hours, so won't be in position to respond until late Friday...regardless, I have little to no color to provide on the summary other than my ability to post it. Apologies if already posted and I missed it. Happy T-giving and Go Bucks!
Having spoken to a number of people who were present during the halftime speech of the PSU game, I have a really good feel for how things went down. JT used language that is NOT JT LIKE and he called some people out in front of the team....definately NOT something he does. I am going to do my very best to outline what happened at halftime, but posting about it does not do it any justice....you'd really have to hear it from those that were there:
Once the team got into the locker, he politely asked all recruits to step outside for a few minutes. He asked a student assistant to get a cup of water. The assistant comes back 30 seconds later with Gatorade. JT flipped and screamed: "I've got a room full of football players that are not doing much right, dont tell me I have student assistants not doing things right...GET ME A GLASS OF WATER NOW." Student assistant comes back 10 seconds later with a cup of water and a face more red than a stop sign. More on that later.
JT asked the captains to walk to the center of the room and face a mirror (the locker room is full of mirrors). Once the captains were standing and facing a mirror, he asked them if the coaching staff did a good enough job preparing the team last week for the game. "Captains, if we failed as a coaching staff, I want to know right here, right now. C'mon...tell me. We have 20 minutes to get things fixed, but I need to know." Silence. "OK, silence is consent. So now I ask you this: look in the mirror and tell me what you see." Silence. "OK, maybe I did not make myself clear...that was a QUESTION that requires an ANSWER." Still silence....finally, Cam said, "coach, I see a guy that is not playing his best football." JT shot back, "Its November, Cam....its God d*** November! This isnt the God d*** spring game...ITS NOVEMBER and we are playing at home with the Big Ten Championship in our hands! Hey B-Rolle, what do you see?" Rolle: Coach, we are not doing a good enough job of leading this fooball team right now and I accept full responsibility, sir." JT: "B-Rolle, how many Big Ten Championships have you won and how many of those were handed to you?" I've won 3 and none of them were handed to me, sir." JT: "NONE....NOT A GOD D*** ONE OF THEM. Captains, please sit down with the rest of your teammates."
Next, JT went on about a 7-8 minute tirade...here are some of the highlights:
"This is NOT Ohio State football right now...this looks like a rag tag operation that's looking to skate by because of what they've done in season's past. 2008 and 2009 are not going to help you in 2010."
"ESPN is not here because of you, they are here because of HIM (Paterno)."
"That team is not on the same level as you, but they are good enough to take the game unless something is done about it."
"We spent all week with brave men & women that have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice...they are here today as guests and we honor their service with a horse (bleep) performace like that?"
"We are not losing this game. Absolutely not. Every single time we lose to that team, t-shirts are made. Not here, not today."
"If you play for 30 minutes, we will coach for 30 minutes and we will not let up until the clock reads zero."
At the conlusion of his speech, he looks at the captains sitting in the front and says, "thanks, guys...now I have to go to church twice tomorrow."
After the game in the locker room, JT called the student assistant to the middle of the room in front of the team and apologized to her and presented her with the game ball.

Testbed and Methods
The notebook's hard drive was formatted in NTFS before the tests. Then I installed Microsoft Windows XP Professional with DirectX 9.0c, system drivers (from the included CD), and Windows Media Encoder 9.0 with Windows Media Player 9.0.
The following settings were used for the tests:
- Power-saving services – Off
- Audio subsystem – Off
- Network services – Off
- Maximum screen brightness
- Maximum resolution of the display selected (1024x768)
- Windows Taskbar is Unlocked
- Windows Taskbar hides automatically
- Classic Desktop theme
- No background image on the Desktop
- No screensaver
Two power modes were used. First, I selected the Always On power mode for the maximum performance and the shortest battery life. Then I switched to the Max Battery mode for the maximum battery run-down time.
Our tests:
- Performance benchmarks: synthetic (SiSoftware Sandra 2005, PCMark 2004), office and multimedia (Business Winstone 2004, Multimedia Content Creation Winstone 2004), and games (3DMark 2003 3.60, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament 2003)
- Battery life tests (Battery Eater Pro 2.60)
There are three test modes in Battery Eater:
- Classic – the system bears the maximum and evenly distributed load
- Reader's test (the pages are browsed through each 15 seconds)
- Idle mode
I used the first two modes as they are in Battery Eater, but in the Idle mode (when the test utility doesn't put any load of its own on the notebook) I played a DVD movie.

The next big idea for 2013
So. Here we are, then. OK, I'm a little embarrassed. With the possible end of the world a couple weeks back, I have to admit I don't have a column.
I didn't really believe the end was nigh; it wasn't like I quit grooming or anything. And on balance, I'm mostly glad we're here yet. Even though my tax appointment's coming up, my teenager's still a grump, and I still need to lose weight.
But just in case those wacky Mayans were right, I sure as Hades wasn't going to spend the end times writing something that wasn't going to see the light of paper. These things are a lot of work. It ain't like breaking rocks, but it's close. Come to think of it, when's the last time you broke rocks? This might be worse.
You walk up to the computer, and there it is: a blank screen staring back at you. And it's got a smirk on its face. It starts taunting you. "You think you're going to turn me into a column? Yeah, you and what army?" You try to get it into a headlock and wrestle it to the ground, all the while sticking words on it. But it keeps fighting back; blank screens are tenacious buggers. Sometimes it gets on top and starts choking you. All you can do then is whup it with your thesaurus. After a while, you're both a bloody mess. But you've got your column.
Why do I do it? Is it because of the high pay? Um, that would be negatory, good buddy. Is it because I like words? I like beer, too, but I don't try to drink 900 at a time. In the end, I like to imagine the horde of person out there reading this, or part of it before looking over at the obituaries.
I've had a couple people tell me they like my column, but they're not sure what my point is. Well, truth be told, I don't have a point. Every day, all over this page, there are points. Guys like George Will and Robert Reich, they have points coming out of their ears. They were born with points. I'm a farmer. I have crops. I don't have a point.
It's especially tough being me because I'm in the same newspaper as columnists Wendy and Kerry. Wendy has food and Kerry has cows, both exceedingly fertile ground for writing. Management says I can do anything I want, except food and cows. Oh great, what's that leave me? Geometry and tire wear patterns? I did fun and upbeat columns on disease and sin. Can you blame me?
I do try to bring the voice of western Brown County to The Journal. This is especially important since the completion of the roundabout on Highway 14. We've noticed no one from New Ulm gets over here anymore. It seems they get to the roundabout, end up going back to New Ulm, maybe turn around by Cash Wise, try it again, get to the roundabout, and end up heading back to New Ulm again. Most give up after a couple tries.
By the way, you New Ulmers should know about something. It's a little eerie, but someone's gone and put up a giant empty building out west of you. At night, there are hundreds of lights on, but no one's there. I don't want to startle anyone. But there were reports of mysterious activity near the Roswell crash site. Along with that, an abnormally large number of Schugel trucks have been running between New Mexico and Minnesota. If one of you could figure out that roundabout, you might want to check it out. Be careful. Use the buddy system.
The other thing I try to bring to The Journal is a fresh perspective on economic opportunities for the City of Charmin and Tradition. Or something like that. For example, it was here that the idea to replace the deer on Schell's labels with Chammy the Horse first came to Ted Marti's attention.
Research showed the deer thing was getting a little old after 152 years. Since Chammy surpassed Hermann as the most recognizable symbol of New Ulm, it was a perfect match. The first batch of Schell's Horse Brand Beer is even now fermenting and Chammy labels are being printed.
The other great idea I had was to give each of the owners of the Marktp atz Mall half of the old K-Mart building. Since they've had a little space to stretch out, they discovered that they get along famously. Inspired by their new-found cooperation and esprit de corps, they created The Rodney King Can't-We-All-Just-Get-Along Center.
Since its inception, the Center has seen a steady stream of former combatants coming to learn to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and latch on to the affirmative. Democrats, Republicans, evolutionists, creationists, Taliban, tribal leaders, they all came to find harmony. And I don't even get paid for this stuff!
Given my track record, the New Ulm EDA has been waiting for my next Big Idea. For 2013, it's time to go forward by looking back. Those of us who are over 80 remember Doc Germann and his decades-long crusade to dam up the Minnesota River. I am ready to pick up the mantle and lead the charge for federal funding to resurrect this project. Congressman Tim Walz is a big fan of this column. So Tim, let's get off the schneid. The budget's such a mess, who'd notice a billion or two for Germann Dam and Lake Chammy?

'Clovis Sound' traveling to Carlsbad
December 29, 2010
File photo Tommy Allsup will perform in a Jan. 8 concert in Carlsbad to bring the "Clovis Sound" to the area.
The Clovis sound is going to Carlsbad.
The Carlsbad Museum and Arts Center is hosting a look back at the Norman Petty recording studios in Clovis, and the era of music made popular by artists like Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Tommy Allsup, and The Fireballs who recorded here.
The concert, a promotion for the Clovis Sound touring museum exhibit, is Jan. 8 at the Walter Gerrells Performing Arts Center. Scheduled to perform are Allsup at 7 p.m. and The Fireballs at 8 p.m.
"The objects for that exhibit come from Clovis," Carlsbad Museum and Arts Center Director Patsy Jackson-Christopher said. "They're from Kenneth Broad at Norman Petty Studios and the Clovis Chamber of Commerce."
Jackson-Christopher said she's always been interested in the rock 'n' roll music, particularly what came from the Clovis studio, and loved it when a similar exhibit toured through Ruidoso Downs when she worked at the Hubbard Museum.
"This is something a little different from a normal concert because we do have a reception before the show that will allow people to meet the artists," Jackson-Christopher said. "Hopefully, we will have some other Norman Petty Studio aficionados.
"We'll play 'pass the mic' and they can tell stories about the time they spent in Clovis and the time they spent recording at Norman Petty Studios."
The 3 p.m. reception at the museum is free, and concert tickets range from $10 for children 12-17 to $50 for families. Children younger than 12 are admitted free.

Well, you can always try. I'd dumped the hooch on top along with 50% of old starter, and refeed. It may take 3-4 feedings, but it should come back to life no problem.
Nice job on the reactivation. I like the home made incubator. If you are looking for an easy bread method, take a look here. http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,13613.0.htmlUse starter instead of IDY. 10% of the flour weight in starter and the bread will be ready to bake in about 12 hours at a room temperature of 75F. 20% and it will be ready in about 8 hours. Adjust your hydration ration accordingly to the strength of flour. Better to start off with a slighty drier dough than a wetter one. Don't forget to post pics. Chau

We are so familiar with the Christmas story we've lost its shock factor. We see shepherd figurines in stores and front lawns, we sing about them, our children dress like them. We are confronted by the image of shepherds a hundred times each December. But do you reflect on why they are in the story?
The story of Jesus' birth is short and includes a small cast of characters. Anyone involved plays a big role. On one level, the shepherds hear an announcement, find the baby, and go back to work. As far as we know it didn't change their lives, they didn't become disciples, and there is no record of them spreading the news beyond those present with Mary and Joseph. If that's the case, why are the shepherds in the story?
The angels reserved their most magnificent announcement of Jesus' birth for the least likely recipients. Who were shepherds, and why did they deserve such a privilege?
Shepherding is one of the oldest professions in the world. Adam was charged to have dominion over the animal kingdom (Genesis 1:26), and Abel is called a "keeper of the sheep" (Genesis 4:2). Throughout biblical history, significant men were experienced shepherds—Jacob and his sons, Moses, and David.
Shepherding is also a prominent theme in Scripture. Remember Psalm 23? "The Lord is my Shepherd . . ." God as shepherd is all over the Old Testament, and Jesus is described as a shepherd in the New Testament. Believers are comforted by Jesus' words in John 10, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays his life down for the sheep… I know my own and my own know me . . . I lay my life down for the sheep."
In many respects, shepherding is a noble occupation. But there is a downside to shepherding. Shepherds had a hard time maintaining religious purity as the Pharisees defined it. They couldn't keep the Sabbath because sheep need constant protection. Shepherds spent most of their time in the fields away from society and had no influence to speak of. In modern terms they were blue-collar workers largely unnoticed by those in power. Shepherds were in the lower classes of society.
Imagine God hired you to plan the announcement of His Son, the Savior of the world. Who would you choose to tell and why? It probably wouldn't make sense to go to Caesar or Herod—they would destroy any threat to their thrones. But wouldn't it make sense to tell those who had favorable influence over the people? Wouldn't it make sense to declare the arrival of the Messiah to those who studied His coming their entire lives?
Yes, it would make sense—from a human perspective and with a human agenda. But God's perspective and God's agenda are quite different from ours.
So why shepherds? Why would God choose to make His most spectacular announcement to a group least able to spread it? We'll consider some possibilities next time. In the meantime, make sure you take the time to read or listen to John's messages on Luke 2:11-20. He provides fascinating historical detail and, as always, illuminates the passage in a meaningful way.

My wife and I have been listening to John's teachings for almost thirty years. We both are so thankful for his dedication of speaking God's truth with clarify and boldness. May he have many more years to proclaim His wonderful truths. I suppose our God chose the shepherds for the same reason that he chose any of us. All of us are unworthy and simply clay pots. Thanks to Him for opening our spiritual eyes and hearts.

Why shepherds?
It only makes sense that The Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world...the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world...would have His birth announced to shepherds; He Himself is the Good Shepherd.
Here is an interesting fact about the birth of our Lord: He was born in Bethlehem where all sacrificial lambs were born, and He died as the supreme sacrifice in Jerusalem ...the very place where all sacrificial
lambs were killed.

Sorry, I was on vacation without a computer for 10 days. I am sadden about not enough
about the birth of the Messiah. In Laconia, NH use both Jesus and Santa. I am sadden to
hear a preacher preach the truth and hold on to the lie about Santa. Thanks Keith.

Product Details
For too long, endurance athletes have been bombarded, and probably confused, by the plethora of concepts (including some pretty bizarre ones) regarding the proper fueling of their bodies prior to, during, and after exercise. To the rescue comes The Endurance Athlete's GUIDE to SUCCESS, which cuts through all the hoopla and provides a primer regarding these important issues.
While finding the solution to properly fueling the body is a very individualized endeavor, requiring consistent practice in training, this handbook provides the basic guidelines. It serves as the rationale behind the Hammer Nutrition line of endurance fuels and supplements which have been successfully used in nearly every conceivable endurance and ultra endurance contest on the planet.

St. Armand tax levy comes in under the cap
BLOOMINGDALE – The tax levy in the town of St. Armand would increase just over 2 percent and stay within the state's tax cap under the preliminary 2014 town budget, if the town board approves it without changes.
A public hearing on the $1.6 million budget is set for 6:30 p.m. tonight at the town hall in Bloomingdale.
The proposed budget includes a tax levy of $708,872, an increase of $14,266 or 2.05 percent over the town's current $694,046 levy. Mike Kilroy, the town's budget officer, said the state's tax cap for the town this year is $709,372.
"If we adopted the preliminary budget as presented, we would be under the tax cap by approximately $500," Kilroy wrote in a statement accompanying the budget.
The town would use $282,500 in reserves or fund balance, slightly less than the $286,500 it used this year, to keep the tax levy in check.
Overall spending in the preliminary budget is up $31,846, roughly 2 percent, from $1,593,968 to to $1,625,814. Personnel-related costs maxe up a quarter of that total, $407,285.
The preliminary budget includes a 1.7 percent increase in pay for most town personnel and elected officials. Town Justice Sheridan Swinyer would get a 7 percent or $1,570 increase, on top of the 1.7 percent, which Kilroy said is due to an expected increase in workload because of the pending dissolution of Saranac Lake village court.
Town Supervisor Charlie Whitson's pay would stay the same at $29,926, but the stipends for the town's four board members would increase 1.7 percent, or $92, from $5,422 to $5,514.
Health insurance rates are budgeted at the same level as this year, based on a conversation with the town's personnel consultant, Kilroy wrote. Retirement contributions are also relatively unchanged from 2013.
The town plans a pair of big projects that are expected to start next year: construction of a new highway garage and a major overhaul of the sewer system in Bloomingdale. However, payments for money the town is borrowing for the two projects won't be in the budget until 2015.

A sign of the times, Part 2: Recent ordinations in the Diocese of Honolulu symbolize that the U.S. priesthood is becoming more ethnically diverse and that the average age of new ordinands is increasing. The Hawaii Catholic Herald reports on the state's first triple ordination in 15 years. All three new priests are in their 30s; one is from China and two are from Zambia.

What to know before bringing home this tropical bird
Parrots have captured the imagination of bird lovers for years. If you're thinking getting a parrot for a pet, do some research to find out if this tropical bird would be a good pet for you. Here are some tips.
The right reasons. Avalon Aviary points out that parrots are "beautiful, clever, complex, instinctive animals." Parrots have the potential to learn how to talk or sing — usually a good thing — and can be as affectionate as a cat or a dog. In fact, parrots can even learn how to call the cat or dog.
The wrong reasons. Parrots make a great conversation topic. People who own parrots are kind of cool. A parrot's color scheme might even match your furniture. These are not, however, good enough reasons to have a parrot as a pet. It's an animal, not a stage prop. Some parrots never learn to talk or sing. They eat, need shelter and require cleaning. Parrots are intelligent and sensitive and often require more work than a cat or dog. They can be loud. They can be messy. Make sure you are ready for that kind of commitment.
Things to consider. If you're undecided, consider the following:
Cost. Parrots are expensive. Throw in a cage, a play area, toys and a high-nutrition diet, and the costs add up. It can be difficult to find a vet who knows how to treat parrots, and veterinary care isn't cheap.
Your lifestyle. You can't leave home for long without arranging for someone to feed your parrot. Parrots require more attention than most pets, including at least 20 minutes of one-on-one time, and that time must occur during the day when the bird is awake. In other words, taking proper care of a parrot may require going by its schedule, not yours.
Other pets. Birds are natural prey for cats, snakes, ferrets and some dogs. This may become an issue. If you have other birds, you'll need to cage them separately.
Your home. Parrots need to be integrated into your home just like any other pet. Make sure you have ample room for the cage — some can be as large as an entertainment center. Parrots also require a separate play area away from the cage. Before bringing home a parrot, plan out the living arrangements and make sure they work.

The site was thus developed and finally launched for public viewing on September 2013 while officially launching on November 2013. The site is still on its infancy stage but we are looking forward to creating a nice community for people who like strategy games of all kinds. This not only extends to digital games but also board games, card games and miniature games.

Social Carpooling Transport NetworkingDec 2011 - Aug 2013 (1 year)
The idea of InteraRete was born right here, by the knowledge that in the time we live in, get together, pool their resources and needs, combined, make the team, it is even more than an obvious advantage, a real need to survive and gain access to a whole new level of life, a new scheme: Life 2.0 . Each of us has something to share, to \"create a network\": resources, skill, ability, property, information or even simple habits. Whenever we manage to overcome the mistrust, typical of the individualistic society in which we were born and raised, we find that they share with returns much more than you is shared, in various forms, in an optical win-win that everyone has experienced some time in life. This attitude is not just beautiful, good, just, sustainable, eco-friendly, it is necessary , essential and \"smart\" ; is the new paradigm in which this period of history calls us, not to reduce us to quickly and all\'ininfluenza margins, as individuals, as communities, as a culture.

Movin' to the music
A phys ed dance craze gives a strenuous but fun workout to kids of all athletic abilities.
By AMBER MOBLEY
Published May 17, 2007
The soft blue glow from televisions and a projector screen blanket the gymnasium at Turkey Creek Middle School.
Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone echoes here on a recent Monday in Plant City.
Something groovy's afoot.
Dozens of students gather near square plastic mats where Kelsey Newsome's feet move to the pop beat.
Soon after come cheers, claps and high-fives.
It's someone else's turn to play the heart-thumping video game Dance Dance Revolution.
In case you're wondering, yes, this is gym class.
And for the first time, Kelsey, 12, is enjoying it.
"I get teased about not being able to run fast and not being able to do push-ups," she said. "In here you don't get teased, because we all mess up," she said of the fast-paced dance steps. "And it's fun."
Across Florida and nationwide, schools are deploying Dance Dance Revolution as the latest weapon in the nation's battle against the epidemic of childhood obesity.
Because traditional video games are often criticized for contributing to the fattening of America's children, at least several hundred schools in at least 10 states are now using Dance Dance Revolution, or DDR, as a regular part of their physical education curriculum.
Based on current plans, more than 1,500 schools are expected to be using DDR by the end of the decade.
About 40 schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District use it; almost all of West Virginia's 185 middle schools already use it and the state has committed to installing the game in all 765 of its public schools by next year; and, like West Virginia, Hawaii hopes to get the game into all of the state's 265 public schools in the next three years.
Born nine years ago in the arcades of Japan, DDR has become a small craze among a generation of young Americans growing up with technology as a playmate.
For Turkey Creek coach Butch Valdes, pairing video games with PE is evolution. "Kids are just surrounded by video games and we have to adjust to it," he said.
Select YMCAs in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties use DDR to get kids moving, but the game has been slow to step into schools.
Pinellas athletic director Nick Grasso doesn't know of any schools in his district dancing to DDR. But, Hillsborough athletic director Steve Vanoer said, at least a handful of Hillsborough schools are, and there may be more to come.
The Hillsborough County School District is collaborating with a University of South Florida research program to study the effects of DDR and other video games that require moving one's bum and not just one's thumbs.
XRKade Research Lab for children is looking for grant money to install DDR at three Hillsborough County schools -- elementary, middle and high school level -- by next school year, said lab co-director Steve Sanders.
The game, made by Konami of Japan, began in arcades, but it's now most often played on Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox game consoles.
A basic DDR system, including television and game console, can be purchased for less than $500, which many schools usually finance with donations, fundraisers or through school support organizations.
Since December, Sanders and co-director Lisa Witherspoon have studied students from the Dr. Kiran C. Patel Charter School, which is on the USF campus in Tampa, at the lab as they play DDR and other "exergames" that require kids to jump, kick, bike and skateboard.
DDR is just the tip of the video gaming iceberg at Turkey Creek. The school has numerous gaming stations and more than a dozen games that can be played, from mountain bike racing to boxing, tennis and fishing.
Video archery is next, Valdes said.
But DDR tests foot-eye coordination, requiring players to dance in ever more complicated and strenuous patterns in time with the electronic dance music.
As a song plays, arrows pointing one of four directions -- forward, back, left, right -- scroll up the screen in various sequences and combinations requiring the player to step on corresponding arrows on a mat on the floor. Players can dance by themselves, with a partner or in competition.
"This is the first time I've seen athletic kids play next to the obese kids and not be as good at some of the games," Witherspoon said.
USF's research lab is among the first in the nation to evaluate the physical benefits of exergaming.
But exercise is the last thing on Jessi Hargman's mind when he's playing DDR as an after-school activity at Edgewater High School in Orlando.
"I don't really see it as an exercise," he said. "It's too much fun and less of a workout."
To the contrary, Turkey Creek sixth-grader Ladia Reason, 12, would "rather do this than a fitness test or run track."
"I'm trying to lose 20 pounds," she said with little beads of sweat on her brow glistening in the projector's soft blue glow.

What great summer trips are you planning this year? What hot-weather issues confound you as you progress through your flight training? Our July 2013 issue, just off to the printer, touches on weight and balance, density altitude, and nailing your best glide speed in the event of an engine failure.
- Weigh in: Why You Should Calculate Weight and Balance—Every Time: Your instructor makes you calculate weight and balance, but it shouldn't become one of those "I'll never need to do this again" situations once you become a certificated pilot. In fact, it will become even more critical for you to go through the calculations, as you'll learn in this article.
- Just Like the Real Thing: Moving Training Toward Reality: When you start training with real-world situations in mind, that simulated short-field landing on a longer runway gets a little more challenging.
- Glider Pilot for a Day: How Fast to Fly When The Engine Quits. We take some tips from the folks for whom an engine-out is an every-day occurrence—glider pilots.
- Technique: Short-Field Takeoff: When you absolutely, positively must get off the ground quickly.
There's a lot more, of course, so keep an eye out for your digital edition–hitting your device May 28–or your paper copy, arriving in your mailbox after June 6. Happy reading and safe flying (credit julien)!—Jill W. Tallman

Black Denim
Modest and sophisticated at the same time, black is the coolest of colours. Worn by the artistic, the powerful and the creative, black is versatile and always mysterious.
Ideal for the winter months, black echoes the mood of the season as the days get shorter and the temperature drops.
It layers easily for an effortless look and is as much at home during the day as it is as night. For men and women G-Star offers a complete range of black denims for the darker months, in shades from jet-black to grey to indigo-accented. Mix them with black leather and accessories for this winter's look.
" Modest and sophisticated at the same time, black is the coolest of colours. "
By combining the right pieces, men can build a look that is all black, but still rich in contrast. Start with black denim in a mix of shades and finishes, add a leather jacket for toughness, and then finish it off with a sophisticated shoe and bag. Because layering is essential this winter, choose tops in a mixture of weights and lengths.
For a sleek look that is strong on chic, but with a hint of rebellion, start with a slim denim pant and shirt in different shades of black. Add a motorcycle-inspired leather jacket tailored to the female shape. Accent the look with a sophisticated belt, scarf, and heel. Then finish it with a long-handled leather shopper and sunglasses.
