Everybody's familiar with that common affliction that plagues many bands. You know, the inherent case of the LGES, otherwise known as Lead Guitarist Ego Syndrome, which can breed head-to-head vying for the spotlight between singer and ripping soloist; that Catch-22 that can ultimately make and then break a band.
It's a tough life being so good, and sometimes the Keith Richards of the crew needs to step back rather than overindulge in all the ingenuity. For Los Angeles' New West Guitar Trio, however, it's all about three lead guitarists shredding side-by-side in peace.
"There's billions of guitar players out there, but how many guitar ensembles—not many," says John Storie, before adding with a laugh, "And now I know why." Storie admits that "it's really difficult and we're still figuring out what works and what doesn't," referencing his bandmates, Perry Smith and Brady Cohan, who together complete the young ensemble that intricately punctuates a jazz foundation with folk, rock and blues elements. Whether it's marrying three egos or three of the same mid-range instrument, finding a balanced yet dynamic sound is no easy task—and New West beats the odds.
As a quartet on the band's first two releases, 2005's Introducing and 2007's Wide Awake, New West stepped out with high octane textures combining their usual electric and acoustic guitars. On the outfit's latest album, Sleeping Lady, they take things down a notch—as a trio wholly unplugged. This time, it's all about acoustic strings fashioned by Santa Cruz luthier Jeff Traugott, and this week's show at the Kuumbwa on Saturday, July 18, is a rare gig that will remain faithful to the record and keep the electrics in their cases.
"He's as much a part of this group as we are," Storie says of Traugott, who produced Sleeping Lady, built all the guitars used on the album recorded in Marin, and is best known as the go-to guitar maker for eight-string phenom Charlie Hunter. "These are no ordinary Guitar Center guitars. There's something about the acoustics by Jeff that have so much life to them, whether we're strumming or finger picking."
Whereas in years past it's always been about packing a punch with the electric screaming atop all the layers, the three twentysomething-year-olds known to swap guitars onstage just as much as songwriting duties offstage, had to find a new approach without the benefits of the old electric. "We had to figure out how to keep the excitement and the kick that we've always had, throughout this record with only acoustic guitars," Storie recalls. The result? Some high energy blues helmed by Cohan, staple jazz melody panache from Smith, and fluid finger picking from Storie. Plus, there's more room for vocals, which has got Storie exploring some folk singer-songwriter ambitions on the current tour.
Moreover, the all-acoustic performance will showcase the band in a "new" light—with a penchant for chamber music rising to the surface. Tighter and more intimate, the trio's set will include Storie's rendition of orchestral favorite, Manuel Ponce's "Estrellita," and though the lack of nylon strings keeps them from truly entering Romeros territory, he and his cohorts prove that they can just as proficiently satisfy a classical enthusiast as their usual jazz audience.
All in all, New West Guitar Trio hits town revealing more than ever before. No electrics—and no egos—in sight.
New West Guitar Trio performs at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 18, at Kuumbwa Jazz, 320-2 Cedar St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $18. For more information, call 426-2313. To learn more about Jeff Traugott, go to traugottguitars.com .

Department of Ecology News Release - April 11, 2014
OLYMPIA — Monitoring air quality in Washington is nothing new to the Washington Department of Ecology. But when higher-than-usual nitrate levels were detected in the Yakima area Ecology wanted to take a closer look and understand what was causing the elevated levels. So the agency commissioned research by Washington State University and Central Washington University to find out why.
"We have a responsibility to safeguard the air quality in Washington," said Jeff Johnston, Ph.D., Ecology air quality science and engineering manager. "And although we can't see it, it affects our health with every breath we take."
Ecology monitors air pollutants throughout Washington to ensure federal health-based air quality standards are met. Air monitoring data show that the Yakima region could risk violating the federal 24-hour fine-particle pollution standard (PM2.5). When breathed deep into your lungs, fine-particle pollution can lodge and cause structural and chemical changes. These particles can also act as carriers for other toxic and cancer-causing materials
"If we ever reach a point where we need to put a plan in place to reduce the air pollution in Yakima, we need a better understanding of the air quality issues," said Johnston.
Washington State University and Central Washington University conducted the study under the oversight of Ecology. Researchers found that the cause of high nitrate levels is ammonia from agricultural activities interacting with pollution from motor vehicles.
The researchers believe that because of the large amount of ammonia emissions in the region and the complex chemistry involved, reducing levels of nitrate will be difficult.
"We're interested in further research that will help us and our partners at Yakima Regional Clean Air Agency and the Yakama Nation best manage air quality in the region," said Johnston.

2012 NFL Draft: The Closest Thing to a Guarantee in This Draft Could Fall to 20April 12, 2012
There a few things I know about this draft from watching the film. The first two QBs off the board are both perfect fits for their future teams. Trent Richardson will be one of the best RBs in the NFL within his first three years. Ryan Tannehill will be over-drafted. Most importantly though, David Decastro is the closest thing to a guarantee in this year's draft.
Who picks at No. 20 again?
That would be the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have to be dreaming about David Decastro in these last few weeks before the NFL Draft. However without trading up, how could the Titans possibly get someone this good? Well there is a scenario slowly falling into place that could lead to that outcome. It all starts with the Carolina Panthers.
If you just want the bullet points read the bold letters only. The other type is details as to why those teams would make those picks. Enjoy!
Carolina take any of these DTs: Michael Brockers, Dontari Poe, or Fletcher Cox.
In my opinion the biggest need in the draft this year for the Panthers is a defensive tackle. They were gashed with runs last year and a big body in the middle could go a long way towards solving that problem. If that wasn't enough of a reason, the extra attention in the middle would give Charles Johnson more space to use to his advantage when trying to get to the QB.
It doesn't matter which of the players they take, because in this scenario whoever gets picked will most likely be the only DT taken in the top 20.
Kansas City takes NT Devon Still or MLB Luke Kuechly
The Chiefs could be eying either one of these players at No. 11. Devon Still could be the perfect anchor for that young defense for years to come. On the flip side, Kuechly provides a level of production that would tantalize any defensive minded coaching staff.
Arizona takes OT Riley Reiff or Jonathan Martin
Reiff is far superior to Martin in almost every way, but that offensive line is in such shambles that either one would be noticeably better than what they have now. With that being said, a solid starter at OG in free agency can be found at a reasonable price, but finding any kind of OT in free agency is tough. It is even worse trying to find one cheap.
While this may not end up being the best football position, from a value and fiscal standpoint this pick makes a lot of sense.
Dallas takes DE/OLB Whitney Mercilus, Courtney Upshaw, or CB Janoris Jenkins
Dallas has signed two guards in free agency this year, and Jerry Jones took an offensive lineman in last year's draft. It is my personal opinion that Jones wouldn't take a guard in the first round of the draft even at pick No. 32. And to think that he would pass on any of the big name players I have listed for Decastro would blow my mind.
The New York Jets take S Mark Barron, C Peter Konz, or Best available WR.
With Barron in at safety the Jets could regain my vote for best defensive backfield in the league. A versatile "thumper", Barron can be a mobile chess piece for Rex Ryan and company.
Speaking of which, I think that Konz can excel at either guard position as well as his natural center. That being said why not put him on the line next to Mangold so he can be groomed by the best. With that tandem in the interior, the Jets could get back to the pound-it-down-your-throat mentality they love.
The Bengals take CB Dre Kirkpatrick, RB Lamar Miller, or OG/OT Cordy Glenn
Any of these players could help push Cincinnati over the edge. That leap takes them from wild-card contender to AFC North division champions.
Glenn can be a load in the middle that has potential to play outside with some polish. Lamar Miller is a quick one-cut back that could thrive early in a rotation and could become the prime ball carrier by Week 6.
Kirkpatrick has the size, speed, and skill set to play either CB, S, or NB immediately. He is a plug-and-play athlete that would be huge for this team's defensive depth.
Chicago takes OT Mike Adams, WR Kendall Wright, Michael Floyd, or DE Quinton Coples
While OL is a big need, the Bears could go several directions here that don't involve DD. All the options above would be a huge upgrade, but the one I want to talk about the most is Coples.
Under the tutelage of premier pass-rusher Julius Peppers, Coples could be properly motivated. The two are both former Tar Heels with freak attributes. Both are tall, lanky, and are incredibly productive when they want to be. If Peppers, Urlacher, and Briggs can get just half of Coples potential out of him then this pick will be a steal.
Ta-Da! The Titans take OG David Decastro.
See it all worked out and everybody got a big improvement. Send in your comments and let me know what you think. Thank you!

Eagles fall short of state
Try as they might, the Morris Eagles just can't get past Dumont. The local amateur baseball team fell to the Saints 10-4 Saturday in Ortonville for the third time in post-season play.
Dumont erased a 3-2 deficit with three straight two-out singles in the sixth inning to tie the game. Four big runs were tacked on in the seventh to put the game away. The Eagles scratched out a run in the eighth to cut the lead to three. Three unearned runs by Dumont in the bottom of the eighth sealed the Eagles' fate.
Eric Asche led the offense with two hits including a double. Overall, the offense mustered only five hits.
The Eagles finish a very successful 2009 season at 19-8.
The Dumont Saints then took on the Saints of Sacred Heart for the second time this week with the winner guaranteed a State Tournament berth.
Sacred Heart had lost to Milroy (34-3) earlier in the winner's bracket final in 11 innings .
Sacred Heart (16-13) defeated Dumont 15-4 in eight innings in the loser's bracket final Saturday to clinch a state trip.
Milroy earned the No. 1 seed from Region 9C in the upcoming State Class C Amateur baseball tournament by defeating Sacred Heart 5-0 Sunday. Sacred Heart will be the second seed from the region.
The tournament starts Thursday in Arlington and Gaylord.
Sacred Heart will play Region 2C champ Lamberton at 11 a.m. Saturday in Gaylord. The Yankees will play Hanska, the 2C runner-up, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, also in Gaylord.

Construction Groups Concerned Senate Plan Repeats Mistakes of Previous Failed Immigration Reforms
Apr 03, 2013, 18:00 ET from Associated Builders and Contractors
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, trade associations representing all aspects of the commercial and residential construction industries issued the following joint statement regarding the Senate "Gang of 8" deal on a temporary guest worker program:
"The construction industry is committed to finding U.S. workers to fill open positions in our industry. Unfortunately, that is not always possible. For many years, our industry has advocated for comprehensive immigration reform that addresses the needs of our economy and border security, and does not repeat the mistakes of previous reform efforts.
"However, we are deeply concerned with the size and the scope of the temporary guest worker program in the proposal now being drafted by the Gang of 8 Senators. Capping the amount of visas for the construction industry at only 15,000 in an industry that currently employs nearly 6 million workers is simply unrealistic and destined to fail. A guest worker program that fails to provide a sufficient number of visas to meet market demand as the construction sector recovers will inevitably make it harder to fill critical labor openings and make it impossible to secure the border. For these reforms to be successful, we believe the cap on visas should be determined by labor market demand, the only measure that truly reflects the needs of the economy and our industry.
"Without an effective and workable guest worker program, the construction industry will not be able to meet the future demand of both the public and private sectors once economic recovery takes hold."

One problem for concert hall designers is to produce sound that allows the musicians to hear each other. This may not seem like a problem to the audience but for a 100 piece symphony orchestra to play at its best, this is an important criteira. The acoustics on the performing stage are critical to that.
One problem for hearing concert halls or doing anything else in the USSR was that traveling was very restricted and difficult. Also, once you got out of the major cities, unless you spoke Russian just managing to communicate could be a prolem. Interviewing people, arranging to measure different halls for pourposes of Beranek's paper could have been a problem.

Yes, in London I much prefer Royal Festival Hall (wood) to Barbican Hall (concrete) even though in theory the latter is supposed to be better acoustically. Wood is nicer to look at too!

Many factors including the tempo at which music is best played can be affected by the way the acoustics of venue. Too fast for the reverberation time and the sound becomes a blur, the notes run into each other as direct sound and early arrivals from one note coincide in time with late reflections from previous notes. Too slow and the notes become discontinuous, a stacatto like effect.
One effect common in music witten in the romantic era is the grand pause which when correctly played adds greatly to the music's dramatic effect. The orchestra plays to an enormous crecendo and then suddenly stops. The conductor waits for just the precise moment when the reverberation dies out before the next note is played. This is one of the best examples of the principle in music called tension and release. In recordings, this effect is completely lost or barely exists at all due to lack of reverberation compared to a live performance. To a lesser degree, there is a pause at the end of each musical phrase as though the musicians take a brief moment to take a breath. How long this lasts or should last will depend on the acoustics of the venue. Understanding how to best "work the room" is not something musicians usually learn quickly. This is why orchestras are said to sound their best playing in their home city at the concert hall they are most familiar with.
The general trend has been to create halls which have shorter RTs than say about 100 to 150 years ago. Whether new or remodeled they are usually designed for mid frequency RTs of 1.8 to 2.0 seconds. In bygone eras it was frequent that they were at 2.5 to 3.5 seconds. This shorter time lends itself to faster playing and performances of more modern compositions. For opera houses it's often 1.4 to 1.6 seconds. For cathedrals it can be as high as 5.0 to 8.0 seconds.

I first heard it when I was in junior high school or high school on a school trip. As I recall, we entered the balcony area and sat listening to Leopold Stokowski rehearsing the NY Philharmonic. I could distinctly hear the reflection of the trumpet off the left procenium arch. That's when I knew there was something wrong with it but who was I to criticize, I was only about 14 or 15 years old. Beranek says the RT is too long. In my edition of Sam's Audio Engineer's handbook, the value of R should be between 1 and 10. At Avery Fisher hall, it's close to 1. At Boston Symphony hall it's nearly 10. (R is the relationship between reflections from 0 to 50 ms and reflections between 50 and 400 ms.)
The use of wood according to Beranek soaks up bass if it is less than 2 1/2 inches thick. It is usually therefore not a good material for use in concert hall construction contrary to popular notions. He said he heard one in Norway built of wood that was thick enough, the sponsor being a lumber company and it is very good. The wainscotting on the performing stage in Boston Symphony Hall is a concession to this popular misconception but isn't sufficient in quantity evidently to badly adversely affect overall acoustics.
The sound in the round arrangement where the audience surrounds the performers is an interesting notion but probably not a very good idea. Beranek claims he heard a performance of the Brahms second piano concerto at the famous one in Berlin. He was sitting behind the pianist and because the lid was propped open, he heard nothing coming from the piano above 2 khz.

Natural Highs.....
Years ago I was fortunate to be in a local (central Perth) cathedral changing some PAR types lights way up high, and in came one of the church organists to practice his rendition of Toccata El Fughe.
What a pleasure hearing the same piece over and over whilst there were no congregation/audience noises to distract from the instrument and hall sounds.
We have all heard this composition reproduced, but that ain't no comparison to the real thing.
Even better is hearing my mother play her Jacobus Steiner 1671 Lions head (Strad precuresor and similarly regarded) violin in familiar surroundings.
"Today Stainer is regarded as the greatest violin maker active outside of Italy. Until the end of the 18th century he was ranked above even the most illustrious representatives of Cremonna. Both Bach and Mozart composed using Stainer Violins"
I believe not to believe in any fixed belief system.

Oh the short memories.
When BBN started to design what was to become Avery Fisher hall, there was a lot of press. The used scale models, pressurized to keep scale propagation speeds and played recordings, using miniature transducers to produce and record sounds. From this they developed their designs. Great concern was placed not only on what makes a hall sound good, but also to keep noise out.
This was really the start of modern calculated design rather than the this is what I built before and we can change it slightly school.
Yes it was a disaster for many reasons. Of course Carnegie Hall was not well received at first. It only got it's famous sound when a producer cut a hole above the stage and coupled the attic space to the rest of the hall. (Yes a really true story).
There is a really good reason why all of the old halls are great halls. They tore down the bad ones after a while. (Or Scott's dad and his comrades flattened them. Never give a critic a 2 ton bomb!)
These days it is BBN alumnus Carl Rosenberg and Ioana Pieleanu who seem to be doing performing halls. A bit more than a year ago I did a project with Acentech the current firm name. It was an absolute pleasure to see all of the classic construction techniques. Solid construction, not a right angle in the place, Wood polynomial diffusers with heavy movable curtains and fixed and movable reflectors.
They spent 2 days making measurements and checking the results versus the predictions. This included having performances by choir, orchestra and others. Everyone was really too busy with check out to spend much time chatting. The biggest problem was the power transformer for the sound system had enough hum that they missed the design NC goal. So a wall had to be added.
Over the years I have worked with four of the world class firms doing concert acoustics. I was going to say three but Sam might actually make it.
What used to be art is now reasonably well understood and the art comes in refining the flavor of what you want to hear.
So if you have the money you can pick who you want to do the design and know what to expect.

??? The speed of sound in air varies as temperature not pressure. I can just see the doll house violins and microphones.
>For an ideal gas the speed of sound depends only on the temperature and
is independent of gas pressure.<

You want the model to map 1KHz, but you have a 10:1 model, then you either have to use 10KHz or pressurise the model.

Winnipegger Nigel Dawes's KHL team opens the season with a three-game home stand.
That's probably not a bad thing, in light of the plane crash that killed virtually an entire team on Wednesday.
"After a tragedy like this it really makes you sit back and think about the safety and well being of the players," Dawes told the Winnipeg Sun in an e-mail exchange from Kazakhstan, Thursday. "Kind of nice we don't have to travel for two weeks.
"Still in shock to be honest with you. It definitely hits home. It just seems to sting a little bit more being in the same league."
Dawes and fellow Winnipegger Dustin Boyd decided to give the KHL a try this season, after having trouble making it full-time in the NHL.
Both signed one-year deals with Barys Astana, in Kazakhstan, after finishing last season with the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs, Montreal's minor-league affiliate.
Dawes, who's been on one road trip with the team, so far, says until it's clear what caused the plane to go down, it's too soon to worry about travelling this season.
"The planes seem to be a little bit older than ones in North America but at the same time I never felt worried or less safe flying on them," the 26-year-old said. "If it was a malfunction or something else ... this can very easily happen on any flight anywhere in the world."
One of the victims of the crash, Karel Rachunek, was a former teammate of Dawes' with the New York Rangers.
Some reports have painted Russian air travel as particularly risky, citing accounts from former KHL players and coaches.
"They do get a bad rap for some things," Dawes said. "All the bad stories get passed around and very seldom do people want to talk about the good ones. I came here open-minded and to be honest I've really enjoyed my time here so far.
"Things are definitely different here culture wise and I think it's hard to compare because we have different standards and are used to different things coming from North America. To the Russians this is normal."
Since the New York Rangers made him a fifth-round draft pick in 2003, Dawes has bounced from New York to Phoenix to Calgary to Chicago and, finally, to Montreal.
He spent the better part of three straight seasons (2007-'10) in the NHL, but found himself mostly back in the AHL last season. A late-season trade sent him from the Atlanta Thrashers organization to the Habs, and in just 19 games with the Bulldogs he scored 14 goals and added 14 assists.
At 26, he was ready for a change.
"The cities and living and food have all been better then expected," Dawes said.

Maybe it was my imagination. I was listening to someone explain how it was impossible for atheists to have any meaningful conception of morality and ethincs. As the speaker was going on and on, I heard the following tucked away in one of his proofs for the necessity of a theistic solution to the conundrums that he put forth.
They are strangers. They do not know our ways. The ways of their women, their ways of cutting meat, they are not our ways.
These strangers' gods are not our gods. Different gods command different sacrifices. The rituals of these strangers may blaspheme our gods. We must take care lest, anger be visited upon us.
These are a danger to us and our kind. We do not know what sacrifices strange gods will demand. These strangers bring only fear to us, the favorites of our gods.
It was probably just my imagination.

I think with how they played last year the Red Wings are back on the first their especially with added scoring in Alfredson and Weisserman
The mask looks sweet adding the home town touch was nice but they should have put a picture of Joe Louis Arena on the other side instead of just the stuff on the back.
Boston by very far the most dangerous team in the division possibly in the conference. Toronto: They got Phaneuf at the blue line and some other decent players but goaltending is an issue. Canadians: Strong goaltending but the scoring just isn't there. Tampa Bay:Steve Yzerman will get to go back to the stadium he should have stayed at but back to the point they lost Lecavalier which is a big scoring chunk out of the team now Yzerman has done well rebuilding this team but they aren't going to be able to contend. Florida: Do I even have to cover this one nobody cares. Ottawa: Good goaltending but one of their best scorers is now wearing the winged wheel so they will make the playoffs but their not a team to fear. Buffalo: Goaltending issues have arrised and scoring is just not there expect them to finish last or close to it. Boston: The most fear inducing team in the league yes they lost Horton but gained Iginla and considering Horton's hurt I don't think they mind losing him to gain Iginla. Goaltending is rock solid if Rask stays healthy and Chara will bounce back from his Stanley Cup slouch. This team may go to the Cup finals again with this team.

The community turned out to get their voices heard during a legislative briefing in Zanesville Friday.
State Senator Troy Balderson and State Representative Brian Hill spoke to a crowd at the John McIntire Library to discuss their concerns for the region and to hear from its residents.
"I'm concerned about the education part of it. I think we have a right and a responsibility to educate our kids but we need to make sure the dollars are spent wisely and that's the process we're going through now and I'm concerned about the severance tax, how that'll affect, how broad of an area that will continue to impact, the more we tax it the less we'll get," said Rep. Brian Hill.
Balderson and Hill also listened and responded to the audience as they voiced their own concerns and encouraged their involvement in the issues.
"The concerns we were hearing today were mostly witht the budget issues, with what Governor Kasich has proposed, those are now going through the process, the budget is in the House and it'll move to the Senate approximately about April 18th it'll come to the Senate finance at that time the Senate will make the needed changes and assess what the house has done with the bill," said Senator Troy Balderson.
The briefing only lasted an hour but both Senator Balderson and Representative Hill held open district hours for the community to continue the discussion following the briefing.

Finally the election is over, and we can focus on things other than politics, right? Wrong! Even though the election is over, the decision will now affect us, good or bad, for the next four years. Fours years is a long time, but when it does come we will be getting a new president. If you could choose someone for the ballot right now, who would it be?

Ranger Esther Weeks
No other canyon in North America combines the narrow opening, sheer walls, and startling depths offered by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. The canyon and its rims are home to black bear, mule deer, golden eagles, and peregrine falcon. To help you plan an adventure at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, Trail Talk posed questions from our Facebook community (and a few from NPF) to Esther Weeks, Interpretive Ranger at the park:
Why did you become a park ranger? – NPF
Growing up I spent a lot of time playing, exploring, (and learning) in the north woods of Wisconsin. This sparked a life-long interest in our natural world. Now I share that same excitement of discovery with others. Protecting public lands for all to enjoy is a unique and fabulous idea of our nation and I enjoy being a part of that.
We will be there in July, what time of day would be best to hike Warner trail? –Julie Beekman
The canyon takes on diverse characteristics at different times of the day and can offer unique experiences depending on when you are there. July, especially late July, often brings afternoon thunderstorms. As the Warner Point Trail doesn't offer much protection from winds and lightening, morning can be a better time for hiking.
What's the best hike in the park? –Debbie Cohen
On the South Rim of the Black Canyon, Warner Point Trail is often the favorite. This trail runs on a ridge line offering views of the San Juan Mountains and the Uncompahgre Valley. Along the trail you'll see some of the oldest trees in the park. These pinyon and juniper trees are up to 850 years old. The trail ends with a spectacular view of the canyon at Warner Point, one of the deepest points of the canyon.
If you are heading to the North Rim, hiking the North Vista Trail out to Exclamation Point will take you to a stunning view of the canyon. This hike travels through the pinyon and juniper forest and skirts the edge of the canyon. Exclamation Point itself offers a unique and breathtaking view looking down into a straight section of Black Canyon and the Gunnison River, making it also a favorite. It is a perfect hike to see for oneself how dramatic Black Canyon can be.
What are three "can't miss" activities at Black Canyon of the Gunnison? – NPF
- See the overlooks. Black Canyon has a lot of variety and every overlook is a bit different. Some offer breathtaking views down to the river while others showcase rock islands or pillars not connected to the canyon walls. On the South Rim, Chasm View is a favorite spot. It is the narrowest point of the canyon from rim to rim as well as where the river drops the most per mile, which makes for dramatic views. Painted Wall on the South Rim is another "don't miss." This towering cliff face is streaked with pink pegmatite intrusions that resemble dragons or serpents, whichever your imagination prefers.
The overlooks of the North Rim offer different views than those on the South. The canyon walls on the north side are more vertical than the south. The winter sun melts the snow and ice off the northern walls, thus slowing the erosion. An overlook unique to the north side is the Narrows View. Here you can see the narrowest part of the canyon at the bottom, called The Narrows. The rock walls drop straight into the water and are only 40 feet apart, making it an incredible sight to see. Balanced Rock View is another great spot to witness how narrow Black Canyon is and to see the equally impressive draws on the sides of the canyon.
- Hike a trail. Even a short hike along the rim allows for a different experience of the canyon. Trails on both rims offer unique and spectacular views. Take a camera and keep your eyes open for the park's wildlife. In addition to the Warner Point Trail, the South Rim also has the Rim Rock and Oak Flat trails. Both are unique and have fabulous but different views. Rim Rock Trail travels between the campground and the visitor center on the rim of the canyon while Oak Flats, by contrast drops 400 feet into the canyon. Along with the North Vista Trail on the North Rim, the Chasm View Nature Trail also offers spectacular views from the top of Chasm View Wall and is a "don't miss" on the North Rim.
- Experience the canyon from below. The rugged and wild nature of Black Canyon makes getting to the bottom a bit of an adventure. However, if you are able, it is a highlight not to be missed. From the bottom, you may be surprised at how wide and fast the river is, or how large the rocks and trees really are. From 2,000 feet above, they can look rather small. The most common way to see the bottom is to drive down the East Portal Road. This is a paved road accessible for vehicles under 22 feet long, but very steep (16 % grade) so a low gear on your vehicle is a necessity.
For those up for a physical challenge, the second way to get to the river is on a very demanding, unmarked hike to the bottom. Permits are required for these wilderness hikes. Be sure to talk with a ranger and read through the wilderness information so you are prepared for the challenges of the trip. The reward of these hikes is a chance to experience the canyon in more isolated areas.
What's your favorite spot/view in the park? – NPF
One of my favorite places in the Black Canyon is at the bottom of Long Draw, a challenging backcountry hike from the North Rim. Once you leave the rim, you are entering a designated wilderness area. Scrambling and sliding your way to the bottom will lead you to a view of the Narrows (the narrowest part of the canyon at the bottom). Here the water rushes past, tumbling and roaring over huge boulders. Looking up with the sheer walls towering above, you can easily see both rims of the canyon at the same time. You can feel that it is wilderness. Not because it is labeled on a map, but because of the nature of the canyon; wild and untouched. To me it shows the essence of both the canyon and the river; rugged, wild, and powerful, both amazing and slightly intimidating at the same time.
What kind of wildlife might you see in the park? –Leo Benator
Black Canyon has a large diversity of wildlife, as the park contains animals common to both the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado Plateau. Commonly seen animals include; mule deer, black bear, dusky grouse, lizards (notably the Collard Lizards), peregrine falcons, numerous small mammals like rabbits and chipmunks, and elk in Fall and Winter. Less frequently seen but still present are bobcat, bighorn sheep, and mountain lion.
In September I'll be driving from Denver to Salt Lake City... is it worth the few extra hours to drive south and see it? And is it really black? –Tony Donati
It is always worth the time to see a national park. Pictures and descriptions of the Black Canyon simply do not do it justice. There is nothing like experiencing Black Canyon in person and that first view of the canyon will amaze you.
While many of the rocks have black in them, from a mineral called hornblende, there are numerous other colors as well; pinks, whites, grays, and purples. Different colors are brought out at different times of the day and in different lighting. Which leads us to:
How did the park get its name? –Angela Chang
As mentioned above, some of the rock here is black, but that is not the primary reason for the name. Steep and narrow, the walls and floor of Black Canyon are often in shadow, making them look black. In fact, parts of the canyon are narrow enough that the bottom may only get sunlight for a few hours a day. Early explorers trying to traverse the canyon were looking into a dark and shadowy canyon, thus giving it the name Black Canyon.
What's the weirdest thing you've seen in the park? – NPF
A few seasons ago there was a dusky grouse hanging around the park offices. It would eat snow off the roof of the cars and pick bugs off the windshields. A couple of times it found its way up the stairs outside of the seasonal housing. She became protective of the parking area and would chase intruders (park rangers) away. She hung around for about a month before moving on. She certainly sparked numerous comical situations and laughs.
What can people do to support Black Canyon of the Gunnison? – NPF
Natural places have this amazing ability to fulfill something inside of us. They can challenge us, remind us of what is important, or even lift the stress of daily life from our shoulders. National parks are valuable to us for numerous reasons, but are only protected so long as people realize that value. The best way to support places like Black Canyon is by visiting and enjoying them. I would encourage people to learn more about the park as well. Reading or taking in a Ranger Program can offer new insight into why the park is distinctive and can invest the mind as well as the heart in the values of the place.
Volunteering can also be a great way to support the park. Students and youth can also volunteer through SCA.

Or is the test demographic biased to only people who go for non-locked-in apparel? Or was the Apple quotes bogus previously? Why does it seem like a see-saw ride every time these "figures" are listed?
Don't get me wrong, with my Moto Milestone I'm actually an Android fan through and through. I can understand why Nokia might be loosing ground (having had a S60 based phone previously). But from all I've heard (and read) the iPhone isn't a dog-turd, usage-wise (except for those "upsets" like antenna-gate). It's hard to believe the Apple-lovers have suddenly become endangered in comparison to the 'Droidies.

|[TowerTalk] Quad square foot wind loading help!
|firstname.lastname@example.com (Steve)
|Sun Feb 9 11:41:20 2003
Hi George, what you did wrong is calculate the total area of the antenna. The wind pressure is maximum when it is perpendicular to a surface and minimum when the wind is in line with a surface or wire. You have to do two calculations, one with the wind in line with the boom and figure out which surfaces are perpendicular to the wind and add up the surface area and one set of calculations with the wind perpendicular to the boom and do the same. The higher of the two numbers is the max wind load on the tower. One thigh you have to remember is that most crank up towers are only rated for max wind load at 50 mph and when the wind speed starts climbing the tower becomes very difficult to pull down especially if it does not have a pull down cable. The is why you see most crank ups sitting the the collapsed position and when you want to use it you have to crank it up. A real pain but the nature of the beast. 73 Steve VE3TU

ESPN 150 defensive tackle Justin Manning (Dallas/Kimball) is more than just a good football player. He's also a potential king.
Kimball High School will celebrate homecoming next week, and the 6-foot-2, 275-pound four-star tackle is in the running for the school's homecoming king. Because of that, Manning said he will not be able to make his scheduled official visit to LSU this weekend. Manning, however, does have alternative plans on Saturday, as he said he will attend the annual Red River Rivalry pitting Texas and Oklahoma.
"[The LSU visit] is the same day as our homecoming dance," Manning said. "The [Texas-OU] game is at 11 [a.m.], and my dance is at 8 [p.m.]. I'll be able to do both."
Manning said he will not take in the game for analysis or any other recruiting purpose. Texas did not make his top five -- consisting of Oklahoma, Texas A&M, TCU, LSU and USC -- and he knows plenty about the Sooners and what they have to offer. Manning's brother is former OU defensive lineman DeMarcus Granger.
"I'm just going to have some fun," Manning said. "I pretty much know everything I need to know about OU. I just want to have a good time."
Manning, ranked No. 89 in the ESPN 150, said he is still planning on announcing during Kimball's Oct. 19 game against Dallas Pinkston. Manning added that his decision might have to be delayed, depending on administrative permission to make the announcement during the game. He said he still needs to speak with his coach and principal for final approval.
Manning is ranked No. 8 among defensive tackles nationally. He is ranked No. 11 among players in Texas.

Jay Evensen: Credit card fraud: Hang onto your invisible money
DVD Taylorsville, 00Oct. 26, 2012 4:26 p.m.
This is an example of why strong regulations and enforcement are necessary. Without strong standards and security for such wide-ranging technology which has such potential for personal devestation, individuals could find themselves ruined with no recourse and no way to prevent it.
Corporations will only spend so much to protect their customers in the name of reputation. As we saw in the last decade, unless financial and security regulations are strong and enforced, corporations around the world and in the U.S. will allow their customers to be ransacked if the lack of care doesn't come back to make the laxness unprofitable.

James Gang to land back on Newport
"No Target in OB" T-shirt-makers to be across street from Target
Delinda Lombardo 4:30 p.m., Oct. 20
Artist: Sleeping People
Song: "Yellow Guy/Pink Eye" (from the CD Growing)
Heard By: Patricia Saylor, Poway
The transitions were really good. It's definitely something that I could listen to over and over. I wouldn't compare it to the Red Hot Chili Peppers because there's no singing, but their tempos [are similar]. I love the guitar, the drums, everything. I don't know how to explain it; it's not something that you hear every day...it's in a whole other realm. I'd say [their sound] is complicated. I think they're talented because the way everything flows together -- that has to take some thought and effort. If they're able to put together something like this, then I believe they can do anything. It's definitely something that I'd go running to because it's upbeat and it sounds positive.
Artist: SDIB
Song: "Midnight Hour" (from their self-titled CD)
Heard By: Bem Edwards, South Park
[I would describe it as] reggae made by 35-year-old white men who've never smoked pot before. It starts out like "Forever Young" -- that song that you'd dance to at a high school prom. It's got all of the sentimental gooeyness of that, but it's void of any of the sticky-green "weedy-ness" of reggae that it should have. It felt forced; it was just a stock ska/reggae rhythm. It wasn't anything that was very inspired. It was cheesy. It was like a love ballad, and if you ask me, that's not a way to start out a record. It seems like it would fit perfectly into a cheesy/happy moment in a Farrelly brothers movie.
Artist: Rob Crow
Song: "Up" (from the CD Living Well)
Heard By: Bebu, South Park
It was good. It was really like Elliott Smith meets the Postal Service. The lyrics were kind of inaudible to my ears. It was hard to pick out the words. I would describe it as sad but boppy. The musicianship was good. The bridge was, like, three seconds long and there wasn't much change in the song. They had ambient noises in the background...some of them sounded like the wires crackling above my bedroom window. It was kind of a dance-by-yourself-in-your-bedroom-on-a-Sunday-morning song. Honestly, when if first came on, I imagined Steve Zissou coming up to a boat. [It'd be a good song for] scuba diving...maybe underwater basket-weaving.

Familiar school, new job
Sarah Hepworth to take over as East Elementary principal in August
April 26, 2010
The last time Sarah Hepworth walked the halls of East Elementary School as an employee was 12 years ago. In the upcoming school year, she'll be back again but in a different capacity.
Starting in August, Hepworth will be the new principal of East Elementary.
The school is where she got her start in the Craig education system, teaching first grade during the 1997-98 school year. Appointed to the job by the Moffat County School Board at its April 22 meeting, Hepworth said she is very excited to return.
"I'm still familiar with a lot of the staff, so it'll be great to work again with people that I know," she said. "It's a great school with great teachers, and it should be really fun to be back."
The requirements of the job will be a change of pace from Hepworth's current position in the school district.
Recommended Stories For You
Having served as the director of the Early Childhood Center, not only has she been working with children younger than elementary school age, but she also has had more administrative duties.
"I've been working with a large staff of childhood educators, and I've really enjoyed that. But I was seeking out a new opportunity to grow," she said. "It was a timing thing as well, with East having the job open and my having taught there and having a daughter who went to school there.
"It was a comfort thing, and I wanted to be able to stretch my skill levels with responsibilities that are a little bit different."
One element of the principal job Hepworth expects to differ from her current job is the need to enforce discipline with students. Working primarily with children ages infant to 5 years old, she said her charges rarely need punishment for misbehavior.
"For 3- to 5-year-olds, you can pretty much be sure they won't remember the next day what they did wrong the day before, whether they hurt somebody or tried to escape out the back door," she said. "Older kids will remember things like that, and so as a disciplinarian, it'll be important to maintain a good relationship with them."
Hepworth said she wants also to stay well-connected with parents and keep them in touch with the school.
"I love the parent part of teaching," she said. "Working with adults and parents is something I didn't realize I would enjoy when I was working as a first-grade teacher at East or when I taught kindergarten in Fort Collins. I love working with other adults toward a goal. My research says that if you get parents into the building and feeling comfortable, they talk more positively about their child's school."
Hepworth's own connection to East as a parent began when she was a teacher and her daughter, Emily, was attending school there at the same time.
The connection continues between mother and child, with Emily now a sophomore at Sarah's alma mater, the University of Wyoming — although she is studying physiology with a minor in music, whereas the elder Hepworth got her bachelor's degree in elementary education.
Hepworth received her master's degree in early childhood special education from the University of Northern Colorado. She also is completing her principal's endorsement from Mesa State.
"I'm almost caught up with my husband," she said. "He has four degrees, and now I'll have three."
Hepworth will officially start the principal position in early August, but she will be meeting with interim principal Joel Sheridan during the summer to get up to speed on the position.
"We'll be consulting and collaborating a lot over the next five weeks," she said.
Hepworth said replacing former principal Diana Cook will "be some big shoes to fill."
"She used to be my daughter's teacher and I think she did a lot great things for East," Hepworth said. "We have different leadership styles, but I have to acknowledge all the work she did there. I think there will be high expectations of me to build on her foundation."
Hepworth's replacement for the Early Childhood Center director position has not yet been selected, though she believes a number of people would be qualified, especially with the quality of her current staff.
"We've made a lot of changes and improvements and we're really starting to be recognized as a four-star program," she said. "We've all done that together. I can't take the credit, myself. It was definitely a team effort, and that's the hardest part of the departure.
"They're all a big part of my success, people who I've consulted with and have coached me. There are many pieces of them that are part of me."

A Dictionary of Samaritan Aramaic (2 vols.)
Abraham Tal
Given the many excellent editions of Samaritan writings (e.g. The Pentateuch) in recent years, the need was felt for a comprehensive dictionary of Samaritan Aramaic. Abraham Tal's Dictionary of Samaritan Aramaic, the first dictionary of its kind, contains the vocabulary of the Aramaic dialect in which the Samaritans composed their texts, from the beginning of their literature in the fourth century C.E. when Aramaic was the community's vernacular, until the end of the use of Aramaic in the eleventh century, when it was replaced by Arabic.
Over a period of more than fifteen years the author has exhaustively collected material form the Samaritans' translations of the Pentateuch, their liturgy, literary compositions, chronicles, etc., as presented in the growing corpus of scholarly editions. Comparative material from adjacent Palestinian Aramaic dialects is adduced where functional. With ample linguistic and textual notes.
Particularly important for the study of Aramaic Jewish and Christian sources composed during the Roman and Byzantine periods in the Land of Israel, and an absolute must for Biblical Scholars.
Entries in Samaritan-Aramaic (Hebrew block script); English translations; Hebrew translations; bibliographical abbreviations, etc., in English.

wikiHow to Use Caraway Seeds
Caraway seeds are often included in the herb stock of most cooks but knowing how to make the most of them requires a little knowledge of their best uses. This article provides an overview of ways to make the most of caraway seeds.
1Use caraway seeds to improve the taste of certain vegetables. Put a teaspoon of caraway seeds into a piece of muslin. Tie the muslin with string. Place this bag into the boiling water for cabbage and cauliflower. The caraway seeds will add flavour, as well as lessening the odour of the vegetables during cooking.
2Sprinkle over roasted vegetables. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are good choices.
3Add caraway seeds to baked apples. They will enhance the flavour. Caraway seeds can even be sprinkled on raw apple pieces for a tasty snack.
4Use caraway seeds with baked goods. Caraway seeds make an ideal topping on rye breads and spice cakes, as used in traditional Scandinavian cooking. Try wikiHow's caraway cake recipe.
5Mix caraway seeds into cheese dips. They make an ideal combination.
