In business, as in life, it's important to focus on the right things. One of my favorite quotes is from Albert Einstein, who said, "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." At Microsoft, we strive continually to increase the value of our products and services to customers like you.
Over the past couple of weeks, we have announced a number of valuable improvements to Office 365 and some of our other products.

Withrow optioned to Minor League camp
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Chris Withrow, who has been injured for most of Spring Training, was optioned to Minor League camp by the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Withrow, whose spring debut was delayed three weeks due to back spasms, finally got in a game on Sunday only to be injured when the second batter he faced lined a shot off of his left shin. He escaped with only a bruise.
Things were adventurous for Withrow before Spring Training started. He and his wife survived an offseason automobile accident in which their vehicle flipped over with only minor injuries.
Withrow, drafted in 2007 as a starter, is making the transition to reliever.

AN interactive play area has been officially opened in an Alresford nursery.
On Friday (July 4) children and parents of Patchwork Day Nursery & Pre-School, based at Perins School, celebrated the launch of the new garden at a farmyard garden party, including a surprise visit from Peppa Pig.
It now features a soil kitchen, extended sand pit, raised planters, stepping stones and a paved area for water play.
Nicola Baxter, manager, said: "We have been looking to develop the nursery garden since the opening of our Pre-School in 2011 where the children enjoy the garden so much. The landscaping of our nursery garden brings this up to the same standard and creates a fantastic space for the little ones to play."
Perins' Event Coordinator, Jamie Lawrence, said: "It's lovely to see the children having such a good time and exploring the new garden features."
Last July the nursery celebrated its 20th birthday, holding a reunion party for children who had attended the nursery over the years as well as their parents and ex-staff. It was such a success that the staff decided to make it an annual event.

•"Geckos!" opened Saturday at The Children's Museum and continues through May 15.
The traveling exhibit is the largest and most advanced gecko exhibit in the world, a museum news release said. You can see 15 exotic and very different live gecko species from around the world on display in habitats that replicate their natural environments.
Museum officials expect the reptiles' frequent feedings to be a big attraction for visitors.
Geckos are unusual even in the lizard world because their special toe pads, which resemble Velcro, allow them to stick to almost anything, the news release said. They also are the only lizards that vocalize; depending on the species, they can sing, chirp, hiss or bark.
For more information, go to www.childrensmuseum.org.

The exhibit explores the Western connections of guitars and artists who have created a soundtrack for America, a news release said.
Visitors can see more than 130 guitars owned by greats ranging from Roy Rogers, Charlie Christian, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain to Woody Guthrie, Buddy Holly, Les Paul and others, a museum news release said. This is the first time the guitars in the exhibit have ever been displayed together.
The exhibit also provides a look at some of the most famous guitarists of the last 100-plus years, such as Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards and Gene Autry, the news release said.
In addition, related programming associated with the exhibit includes films, live performances, guitar instruction, a guitar "corral" where visitors can pluck and strum guitars, and more.

This is more common than it should be.
I know of a German restaurant where I used to live that installed theft-detection devices in its beer mugs that would set off an alarm at the door - kind of like the door alarms at discount stores. Apparently, too many college students were making off with their mugs.

With the bitter cold that's been prevalent here this winter, it's hard to believe that anything good can come from the surplus of snow, slush and sludge (unless, of course, you are in a business that thrives on a lot of snow, slush or sludge).
But a snowstorm provides the backdrop to a sweet, gently humorous story in "Bus Stop" by William Inge, which is now on stage at Actors' Summit in Akron.
The play seemed a hit with the opening night audience on Feb. 21.
"I think this was beautifully cast," said Robin Selinger of Hudson after the performance that night. "I'm a season subscriber and I've seen everything they've done since we moved here in 2005, and this was one of their best shows."
"Bus Stop," directed by Ric Goodwin, is set in a 1950s diner located on a bus route. The diner is owned by the world-weary Grace (played by Elizabeth Lawson), who is assisted by Elma (played by Rebecca Ribley), a young and naive teen. A snowstorm has blocked the roads, meaning that the two are stuck at the diner, along with the bus driver and bus passengers who have stopped there. The bus driver, Carl, (played by Jim Fippin) and Grace have a very friendly relationship, and are not too inconvenienced by the snowstorm. The other eclectic mix of passengers include Bo (played by Dean Courtris), a brash young cowboy, Virgil (played by Bill Hoffman), who serves as a bit of a father figure to Bo, Cherie (played by Llewie Nunez), a nightclub singer who caught Bo's eye and has been reluctantly dragged along for the bus ride, and Dr. Gerald Lyman (played by Doug Hendel), an alcoholic who seems to be on the run from something (and it doesn't take the audience long to figure out why).
Hendel, who lives in Alliance, said this is the third time he has been involved with a production of "Bus Stop."
"I was in this [play] about 40 years ago, playing Virgil," Hendel said. "Four years ago, I directed this at Mount Vernon. I really enjoyed making my debut here. This is a good group, a good theater."
The show runs without intermission.
Ticket and show information
"Bus Stop" runs through March 9. Performances are given Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m., and take place at Greystone Hall, in downtown Akron. The show is appropriate for all ages. Tickets for "Bus Stop" are on sale now through the box office at 330-374-7568 and online at actorssummit.org. Tickets are $33 for adults, $28 for seniors over 65; and $10 for all full-time students under 30.
The theater is on the sixth floor of historic Greystone Hall in downtown Akron.
For details, visit www.actorssummit.org.
Next on stage
Actors' Summit will next produce the regional premiere of "Handle With Care" by Jason Odell Williams which can be seen March 27 through April 13.

Market Is in a Cliff-Lock
Other than a little drama in Apple (AAPL), this was one of the dullest weeks in some time. If you want a particularly good illustration of how slow it has been, just pull up a chart of the iShares Russell 2000 (IWM). Over the past five days, the market has moved just 0.1% overall. What's worse, the entire trading range during that time was a miniscule 1.6%. It has held up very well but hasn't been able to build any momentum.
There isn't any big mystery about what is causing this action: It is frozen by the fiscal cliff. On one hand, market players are optimistic that a deal will be made, so there's no selloff. On the other hand, political negotiations are still going on and nothing is likely to happen until the deadline is near. Hopefully, the politicians will be eager to leave for the holidays and do something before the Jan. 1 deadline, but I'm not sure even the holidays can do much to speed up this obnoxious process....121 more words left in this article.

FORMER 400-metre world indoor champion Daniel Caines inspired Dyson Perrins Academy pupils with a visit to the Malvern school.
The athlete headed to the Yates Hay Road school as part of their Sky Sports Living for Sport project.
The free secondary schools initiative, delivered in partnership with the Youth Sport Trust, uses sport stars and skills to boost confidence, change behaviours, increase attainment and improve life skills.
Pupils involved in the project shared their activities, skills picked up on the way and accomplishments on and off the playing field with Caines when he visited.
The pupils have been busy planning a sports festival for local primary schools and want to utilise the communication and team-work skills which the 35-year-old from Solihull has helped them to improve.
Caines was handpicked by the Youth Sport Trust to become a mentor because of his unique personal journey, overcoming a range of challenges to achieve sporting success.
He shared his experiences with the group and used his story of triumph over adversity to support teachers at Dyson Perrins to motivate the pupils to be the best they can be.
Babs Hynes, the head of physiological sciences at the school, said: "Daniel's visit was an inspiring reward for our pupils, who have shown great commitment and dedication to their Sky Sports Living for Sport project.
"The students loved hearing Daniel's story and sharing their experiences of their project with him.
"Most importantly, our young people have learned first-hand that sport can teach them so much.
"Whether it is the social skills needed to be a team player or the focus and determination required to do a job well, Sky Sports Living for Sport is helping them to learn important life lessons."
Caines said: "I came away from Dyson Perrins feeling incredibly inspired by the commitment of the young people I met.
"Hearing how the pupils are putting their new skills and lessons they have learned into practice is a fantastic example of how sport has the power to change lives."
Secondary schools can learn more about the project at skysports.com/livingforsport.

Maddon sees positives in Hernandez's Tuesday outing
Right-hander competing with Niemann for Rays' final rotation spot
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Roberto Hernandez cruised for four scoreless innings Tuesday against the Phillies before surrendering four runs in the fifth and five in the sixth.
And this was the right-hander's last start before a decision is made regarding whether he or Jeff Niemann will be the team's No. 5 starter.
Hernandez said he wasn't doing anything different in his last two innings of work than he did in his first four. Even though Hernandez's final line was ugly -- nine earned runs in six innings -- Rays manager Joe Maddon wasn't upset about what he saw.
"I thought Roberto threw the ball well today," Maddon said. "A lot of the damage was done by balls hit on the ground. I thought he had good stuff, so I was not displeased by any of that.
"I thought the ball looked alive from the side. Really pitch efficient, which is important, I think. And again, with our regular-season defense being in the right spots, it could be good. I was not discouraged at all."
Maddon concluded by noting that Hernandez was a ground-ball pitcher, and this type of pitcher inducing ground balls "is not a bad thing."
As for the pending decision about who will be the team's fifth starter, Niemann will make his last start of spring Wednesday afternoon against the Blue Jays. Whichever one of the two does not win the job will go to the bullpen. Maddon said they will wait to make that decision until Wednesday.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Angerer is atrocious in pass coverage- a complete liability.
We're terrible. And we won.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
Defense comes up with three huge turnovers.
It was ugly but this team made plays when it had to. The D was great (4 TOs) and the offense was good when it had to be.
Too bad we can't play against our division every game.
At least we'll finish no worse than .500.
Well done Mr Freeman. Abomination of a display once again. We just take the win and praying for some improvement.
He is so slow that dropping in coverage just won't work.
Let's just hope that this win and likely division title don't obscure the major changes needed on offense this offseason. The line needs to be replaced and the offensive philosophy needs to be adjusted to be more in line with what successful teams are doing.

We're fortunate that the Zach Galifianakis look-alike is an awful quarterback who makes hideous decisions with the football.
The defense played well today, but a better quarterback would have still torched them. The offense was absolutely hideous. The clutch decision to go with Brown over T-Rich definitely paid off on that last drive.
I still have absolutely no faith in this team right now. MAYBE the home crowd could carry us to a playoff victory, but I doubt it.
The Bengals are going to destroy us next week
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
The only way the Colts win a playoff game is if they get the #3 seed which is unlikely considering their next game is against Cincinnati- the other team vying for that spot.
This was yet another game where we didn't find a way to get our best option the ball (T.Y.). Yes, that interception was his fault, but he still didn't get enough targets. We should be running far more quick slants to utilize his speed. And he's still sitting out certain plays while we run those HIDEOUS formations.
Offensive line aside, any offensive coordinator worth his salt would find a way to get T.Y. the ball. There's simply no excuse.
I'll be stunned if we score a touchdown in that game.
We won it was ugly for most of the game but I'll take it
We might not win another game this season, but we probably won the division today. The only reason we won is because Fitzpatrick can't play. Horrible play calls, DHB is a disgrace, offensive line might be the worst in the league, and we have so many worthless guys like Bethea and Angerer on defense that cover up how well some dudes played.
And it will still be closer than the Chiefs game probably. A nice preview of the ***-whooping we'll get in the playoffs.
I don't think it's possible to feel worse about a game that basically sealed up the division. But it's hard to be excited right now. This team sucks and has a beyond pathetic offense right now.
Useless information of the day: From now on I will always have my Bob Sanders jersey on while watching Colts games. We are so bad on offense that the only hope of winning games will come from defense.
Same thing did today as well cause I knew what was coming.
The only bright side is that instead of losing the 14th pick for a trade that was an overreaction to injuries, we will lose the 21st. Hooray! I doubt the Browns will pick anyone good with it, and with how Grigson has used the 2013 and 2014 first rounder, I wonder if he would have done anything better with it.
The Colts will have around 40 million in cap space next year...

Luck is just not playing well because he is taking much too long to find a receiver. It just appears that these guys are playing as if they don't know each other. Fleener seems most attuned to Luck.
i did not see that the OL was too terrible today . TR is really just terrible as he seems to try to run into rather than avoid a crowd. The guy doesn't know the term cut.
I thought TRich had better runs than Brown until the final drive.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
At one point in the 4th, Brown was like 10 for 27 yards and TRich had a 4+ average on limited carries.

Laminating Machines to Keep Important Documents Damage-Free
Laminating machines add protective coverage to business documents, signs and ID cards, letting you reuse or share business materials without damaging them. Choose laminators by Fellowes, GBC and Swingline that stay cool to the touch for safety while providing fast thermal sealing for neat, presentable safety posters or photo printouts.
Produce Smooth Document Surfaces for Dry-Erase Markers
When saving resources is a top priority, lamination pouches and film make it easy to preserve frequently used documents. Cleanly seal classroom worksheets, luggage tags and calendars without leaving messy wrinkles and bubbles, providing even surfaces for students or workers to write on with dry-erase markers again and again. Convenient quality features such as auto detection help you use the right settings for your paper size and thickness, so your laminated documents come out right the first time.
Avoid Jams to Keep Your Machine in Tip-Top Condition
You can't always prevent loading errors, but you can stop an incorrectly inserted document from damaging your machine. Choose laminators with auto-reverse technology to stop documents from advancing when they get stuck or the material is too thick.
Choose Cold, Thermal or Combo Laminators to Suit Your Projects
Whether you place more value on speed, precision or flexibility, laminators help you reinforce documents against bending, tearing and lunchtime feasts in the break room. Buy thermal laminators for the most secure, bubble-free seal, or quickly handle a high volume of ID cards and key tags with a cold laminator. Choose a combo machine to switch between sealing methods when your employer needs a wide range of laminating solutions.

It's a trickle down effect: when something happens at the state level, it will almost certainly affect what happens in your county.
The latest of those statewide changes are affecting the Florida Department of Health in Levy County and the people they serve.
The health department will no longer offer adult primary care services, said Administrator Barbara Locke in a letter to patients dated March 18. The changes went into effect April 22, and they will still be available for assistance with urgent needs or prescription refills until then, the letter said.

The Class of 2013 will depart Bishop Luers with four state championships, equaling a mark only Warren Central (2003-2006) and Lafayette Central Catholic (2009-2012) have matched.
Smith rushed for 150 yards and three touchdowns in the victory on 21 carries. Cardinal Ritter was never able to bring him down without multiple players hanging on or until Smith had broken several tackles.
It was a clinic on how dominant and dynamic of a player Smith is at the high school level.
Surprisingly, relief was as much a presence for Smith as elation on Friday. He was candid when asked how it felt to carry the ball so many times, an aspect of his game that will likely disappear as he focuses purely on linebacker at the college level.
"I'm glad it is over honestly," Smith said. "I am now moving forward on focusing on one side of the ball, perfecting my moves and not taking any plays off on defense because of being tired."
Smith added four tackles and a sack on defense, but his impact was bigger than his stat line. Coach Steve Keefer sent pressure from all different angles at Cardinal Ritter quarterback Jake Purichia throughout the game, with Smith getting into the backfield several times and disrupting timing routes and forcing Purichia to throw sooner than he wanted.
Perhaps Smith's most signature play on the night came in the fourth quarter, but was negated by penalty. Running to the outside and turning the corner, Smith was confronted by a Ritter defender going for a low tackle. Smith hurdled the defender and landed on his feet, gaining a few more yards to appear to pick up the first down.
But hurdling a defender is illegal in Indiana high school football and the flag was thrown.
"It was demoralizing to be honest," Smith said. "As a fan watching guys like (Notre Dame running back Theo Riddick) hurdle over people. I was kind of defenseless (with the defender going for the legs) and I had to do something."
Smith's legacy at Bishop Luers may not be completely over. A big cog for James Blackmon Sr. and the basketball team, Smith has yet to decide whether he will play on the hardwood this winter.
"I am not sure right now, I got another week to decide about it," Smith said. "I really love those guys, but I just have to sit down, look at my body and talk to my family about it and see."
Plus, there is a little piece of hardware Smith would not mind adding to his collection before heading to South Bend.
"I want (the Indiana Mr. Football award)," Smith said. "I believe I deserve it in being a student-athlete. No one from Fort Wayne has ever won it. It would be an honor to bring that back to the city."
On Friday night, Smith proved to plenty of people that he is deserving of such an award.IHSAA FINALS

Introduction: Sauerkraut was one of my favorite foods when I was young and each summer I would usually make about 15 gallons which lasted most of the year.
These burgers combine key ingredients in Polish cooking, kielbasa, bacon, cabbage, onion, wine, and cheese for a very unique hearty Burger. "Polska" is the native translation of the word "Polish".
Dove hunting is a South Texas tradition, and it seems that everyone's favorite way to eat dove is stuffed with jalapeno, wrapped in bacon and thrown on the grill.
My families loves venison burgers and frys, cant have one without the other. So I took my Dad's classic burger and added the frys right on top.
Hello, My name is Eric. I am a chemist by day and home chef by night. Food is my passion. I constantly watch the food network, much to the dismay of my wife and daughter.
What is the secret to a great burger? The great taste without it falling on your lap when you eat it. More Important! You never ever compromise the taste of the meat.
This is a German inspired burger. I have been in Germany and loved their food. I used that experience as my inspiration. I have always loved to cook.
Well in today's "Health" era I might get run out of town for this one but ohh it will be juicy and good !!
This recipe I came up with because of my families love for pizza. I hope others will enjoy it also.

Superman vs. The Elite, the next entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, will receive its World Premiere as WonderCon's featured evening event for Friday, March 16 in Anaheim.
Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video, the all-new, PG-13 rated film will screen at 6:30 p.m. in the Anaheim Convention Center Ballroom. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion amongst filmmakers and voice cast members. Award-winning comics writer Joe Kelly and versatile voice actor Robin Atkin Downes (Justice League: Doom) are among the confirmed panelists for Friday. Additional panelists will be announced as they are confirmed.
In Superman vs. The Elite, Superman's effectiveness as a super hero comes into question when a new group of super powerful crusaders, known as "The Elite," appear on the scene. As super heroes, the Elite know no bounds, and are more than willing to kill, even on a massive scale, to stop villainy - putting them on a collision course with the ever-ethical, yet preferably non-lethal Man of Steel.
In addition to the screening and panel, Warner Home Video and DC Entertainment will co-present an autograph signing session with Superman vs. The Elite panelists on Saturday, March 17 from 11:00am-Noon in the DC Booth at WonderCon.

Once again I was out doing some field sessions, but fortunately this time I had a local highly ranked AM give me some in person critique. He pointed out to me what was pointed out me on here prior, from my video critiques. That my pull is too fast too early, and that I'm rotating my hips early as well. Another point that he noticed, that I never thought about asking about, was the audible pop I get when I throw hard. When I do put everything I got into a throw, and really crank down on my grip I get an extremely loud pop when my fingers slap my palm, but none of that power is transferred to the disc via rotation. The disc accelerates out at a good clip, but with just a minimal amount of spin. I feel like if that energy could be transferred to the rim of the disc I would be getting really good snap. For the disc to squeeze out between my fingers like that means I'm generating power, but it's being lost. Has anybody else experienced anything like this, and does it have to do with grip? Currently I use a power grip for my drivers, and a stacked grip for my mids(buzzz). I don't get the same audible pop on my buzzz, and it seems like that power IS transferred to the disc. I tried to use the stacked grip on my drivers(leopards, TB's) to no avail. The same loud pop, but no useful energy transference.
On a side note, when I slowed down my pull, and held off on my hip rotation I noticed an improvement. I was only going around 60% because otherwise I couldn't keep the timing correct, but my discs were getting out about 30' short of what they normally do only slower.

One of the indelible memories I still carry from childhood was the annual hunting trip my dad took with a group of co-workers every fall. They'd head out for a week of bow hunting in the hills surrounding the Finger Lakes region of western New York with a couple of trucks loaded with sleeping bags, cooking gear and boxes and boxes of food. A week later, they'd return, all of them sporting scruffy beards and toting paper-wrapped slabs of venison.
For a grade-school kid, nothing seemed more romantic, although my dad was quick to launch into tales of sitting for hours in the pre-dawn cold and the wet, miserable treks through the bush tracking an elusive buck.
Truth is, all those years my dad never actually bagged a deer, and for a pretty fair archer I look back now and realize that for whatever reason, he never really had the stomach for bringing down any of the many animals I'm sure they spotted in a week of hunting. Nor did he encourage us kids to plan on joining their hunting party when we were old enough to buy a license, although I'm convinced that had more to do with the après-hunt libations they no doubt consumed, rather than any sensibilities about killing wildlife.
Meanwhile, out West, elk and deer season begins next week in states such as Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Not only does it mean that tens of thousands hunters are gearing up for days and weeks in forests and rangelands in search of game, it also signals the release of dozens of obligatory columns about the appeal of hunting from the region's newspaper columnists who cover the outdoor sports beat.
You can pretty much expect one of two chestnuts: Either a glorified paean to the thrill of the hunt, or the annually recycled "a-good-hunter-is-a- prepared-hunter" screed that's little more than a glorified infomercial for Cabella's, Gander Mountain or Sportsman's Warehouse.
However, one columnist who departed from those time-honored categories is Roger Phillips, who covers outdoor sports for the Boise-based Idaho Statesman. Phillips recently wrote a provocative column titled, "Hunters are the original locavores."
Not being a dedicated hunter myself, I hadn't thought about that angle, nor was I aware of how strongly outdoor enthusiasts are picking up on that theme as a way to leverage support for the endangered pastime of hunting.
Phillips wrote, "Among the thousands of camo-and-orange-clad hunters roaming pine forests and sagebrush hills in search of game [are] a few new hunters who didn't grow up in hunting families, have never killed an animal and couldn't care less about antlers.There's an under-the-radar movement of people who are seeking something better than shrink-wrapped meat of dubious origin, and they're willing to kill for it.
"They're called 'locavores.' As a lifelong hunter who kills, cleans, butchers and cooks his own game, it's no revelation that there is a tasty, healthy, four-legged food source right out our back door, and it's interesting to see people without hunting backgrounds learning to take advantage of it."
Ex-veggie on the hunt
Phillips went on to note that several prominent writers and hunting advocates have embraced a similar meme. For example: Jackson Landers, author of "Hunting Deer for Food," describes himself as a "locavore hunter." Landers, a Virginian who was born into a vegetarian family and didn't eat a cheeseburger until he was 10, decided to take up deer hunting hunt deer when he was 29 as a way to feed his family because he had hardly any money for food.
["Landers] looked at hunting from ethical, environmental and economic angles before buying a rifle and searching nearby woods for white-tailed deer," Phillips wrote, quoting him as saying that, 'Having a real need to feed your family will erase any doubts about what you are doing. The deer dies so that you and the people you are feeding can live. This has been the essence of predation since time immemorial. It is utterly rational, natural, and I think, moral.' "
Phillips also referenced Washington-based outdoor writer Bruce Barcott, who wrote an intriguing article in Backpacker magazine last year about his experience as a first-time hunter (seewww.backpacker.com/hiking-and-hunting/destinations/14747). He described himself as "a backpacker, a car camper and a bird-watcher. I've thrown bait and flies at Alaskan salmon and Rocky Mountain trout, climbed Cascade volcanoes, paddled Sierra rivers and I'm a skier of catholic taste. But I've never been hunting.
"Like a lot of Americans these days, I'm trying to live closer to my food," Barcott wrote. "I'm eating backyard vegetables and buying eggs from my neighbors. I decided it was time I met my meat."
Phillips stated that "Killer Hunt"was "probably the best hunting story I've read in years. Barcott described his preparation and his hunt in wonderful detail. He explored with fresh insight the divide between hunters and people who enjoy the outdoors but don't hunt."
Most importantly, he wrote, Barcott's story "bravely and honestly" described his emotions after killing a three-point buck.
"I feel happy. Proud. Fulfilled," Barcott wrote. "The two minutes and 10 seconds that elapsed between the time we spotted the deer and when I pulled the trigger were among the most intense, primal, and profound moments I've ever spent in the outdoors. I can't explain those feelings. But I can't deny them, either."
As citizens of Consumer America, most of us don't spend a week or two tramping through the woods on the hunt. We forget that no matter what your diet, living creatures have to die for us to eat, and nothing brings that reality into sharper focus than subsistence hunting to put meat on the table.
Phillips closed his column with the following gem: "Hunters often judge their success on whether they harvest an animal. That's an obvious measure of success, but those who enjoy every moment of the experience, whether it's a communal meal around a campfire or a misty sunrise on the forest, free themselves from the anxiety of having to kill an animal to feel as if they've had a successful hunt."
Just as raising livestock isn't only about slaughtering animals for food, hunting—and hunters—can hardly be defined solely by how many carcasses get hauled back to town.
