People sometimes ask why we have such a passion to see the body of Christ come together and become one in the Spirit of God. Years ago, this burden was placed on a mentor of mine, a humble pastor whom I loved—Leonard Evans.
The Lord visited him and told him the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit in the last century was for the purpose of realizing the prayer of Christ, "Father, may they be one, that the world may believe." Everywhere he went he preached the love message of John 13: 34, 35, "Love one another as I have loved you that the world may recognize you are my disciples." His people got sick of his message. "Can't you preach something else," they complained. But he could not.
My good friend, Leonard, died young, I believe of a broken heart. Not only was his message rejected by everyone, the church became more fragmented than ever.
Now I'm not a visual person. I rarely see anything when I close my eyes. Yet, over 25 years ago, while in prayer I saw something that changed my life. It was vivid and in living color.
The Vision: I saw a lovely young woman, dressed in white, like a bride, wandering alone and lost in a barren wilderness. Her beautiful gown was ripped, soiled and tattered. She was thirsty and frightened. Tears stained her face. Each step she took left a bloody footprint in the sand.
"Lord," I asked. Who is this woman?"
"My bride," He answered, my American bride." I wept for her! I could not stop weeping but I felt the comfort of the Bridegroom weeping by my side as well.
Excited, I began preaching and sharing this message, but like my mentor, there was little receptivity to my message. I was puzzled, Why was this vision given to me? Finally, after so much rejection, I got discouraged and put this call aside, thinking it was too impossible.
When I retired and was ready to take it easy, I met a woman with whom I shared this vision. Immediately she accepted it as from God and later she became my wife.
"You mustn't give up. God wants you to continue on the path he put you on." It was like a prophecy.
I cried out to God. "What can I do?"
"Intercede," he said, "and prophesy! Call my lost bride back home that she may be restored to her former glory. Weep with me. Woo her and win her back to her Bridegroom. There are many others that I'm calling as well. This is the hour of her restoration."
We are committed to this holy vision, in part through prayer and in part through this blog The Horizontal Church.
Lord of Mercy and Grace, forgive us our divisions. Heal and restore us, we pray and bring us back into the unity of former days. Restore your church to her former glory and power.

Charles Jackson is one of those stories we all love to hear about. He barely played high school basketball at Grant High School in Sacramento due to being a late developer. In 2011, Charles Jackson was a mere 6'5" and 170 pounds soaking wet who couldn't dunk the basketball. Fast forward to present day, and Charles Jackson just completed his freshman year, earning MVP of the Golden Valley Conference at Lassen College standing at 6'9" 220 pounds and dunks at every opportunity. He also earned All-State as a freshman and is on the radar of dozens of NCAA I programs for the upcoming 2013-14 year.
From Lassen College coach Devin Aye, "When I first saw Charles, he was all arms and legs. He wasn't coordinated enough to dunk, and he wasn't ready to play college basketball. " Charles sat out his first year of college at Chabot College in Hayward, CA where he developed a relationship with his assistant coach at the time at Chabot, Devin Aye. In April of 2012 coach Devin Aye was offered the head coaching position at Lassen College in Susanville, CA. "I didn't want to steal Charles away from Chabot College and my father (Denny Aye is the head coach at Chabot College), but Charles called me one day and expressed interest in coming up here with me. My father and I both agreed it was in Charles' best interest for him to get away from the city and come up here where he can focus on school."
This is where the story begins…. Charles Jackson made the move up to the mountains to attend school at Lassen College. "I remember the day Charles and Leroy Anderson (another story worth telling) arrived up here in Susanville. Charles got out of his Dad's SUV with his big smile, and he all of a sudden was 6'9" and put on about 30 pounds." Charles struggled to adjust to the college life while at Chabot College and matured a lot in that one year in Hayward. In his first semester at Lassen College he passed all of his classes and is on his way to getting his AA degree in 2014.
Coach Devin Aye took over a program at Lassen College that had only won 1 game the previous season. Aye admits he had high hopes for the season, but didn't know what to expect from his post play. "Our first tournament we went to San Jose for the tipoff tourney and I remember telling myself that if my post play can just play even with the other team we will be ok this year." As you can imagine, the post play was better than Aye expected. "Charles absolutely dominated! He went up against D1 post players each of those 3 games and started the season averaging 17 points and 14 rebounds. His energy, passion and being the ultimate teammate made him so enjoyable to be around on a daily basis. He had 3 dunks each game and played with a chip on his shoulder." The season went on, and Charles eventually finished the year with quite a resume. Lassen College won the Golden Valley Conference and finished with a 23-9 overall record. Charles Jackson was selected as the MVP of the GVC, and was also ALL-STATE. Jackson led the state in rebounding as a freshman with a total of 366 rebounds to his name. And had a state line of 12.2 points, 11.5 rebounds, 61% FG's and 2.6 blocks per game.
With such an unbelievable first year under his belt, things are looking up for Jackson next year. "I absolutely LOVE this kid! He has made me so proud both on and off the court. Calls are coming in on him from PAC-12, WAC, Mountain West among others, and if Charles stays the course he will have an unreal future. He is the centerpiece of our program here at Lassen College, and has become a hell of an athlete. I have been spoiled to begin my coaching career with a young man like Charles. It is a scary thought to think of coaching without him in the future." Who knows, maybe after the summer Charles Jackson could be 7'0" and gained another 30 pounds?? Congratulations to Charles Jackson on making the best of his opportunity at Lassen College! Scouts and coaches will for sure be making those trips to Susanville to catch a glimpse of this prospect in 2013-14.

How to bridge the gap between IT and Business, and Five Questions for Business Owners & CEOs
There's an interesting article here on the Harvard HBR blog that talks about bridging the gaps between IT and the rest of a business.
Key points from the article…
- Quit making the same mistakes over and over again.
- Find common ground on medium-term issues.
- Finally, companies should ask, "How do we expect IT to help us compete?"
Here's an extract: "Importantly, the critical investment is less in any particular technology and more in building organizational capabilities. For while few information technologies qualify as strategic — after all, they will be woefully out-of-date in three to five years — developing the ability to keep pace with the technology curve in these areas must be viewed as strategic."
Smarter use of IT can give you strategic advantages, especially when it comes to doing business online. Remember, it's not the specific information technology that is strategic. It is how you use it. And even more importantly, how your customers use it. Or not.
Five Questions for Business Owners & CEOs
- Are your choices in IT systems adding to your flexibility and agility OR restricting and stifling you from making changes you need to make?
- Are your IT systems helping your business become more integrated OR are they making you more disintegrated and fragmented?
- Do you have IT systems your customers and staff want to use OR are they bypassing your systems because the systems are too useless, time-consuming, complex, hard or inconvenient?
- Are you locking yourself in to old IT systems that add to your baggage and legacy risks?
- In every moment of truth that your customers enjoy or endure, do your IT systems give your customers a better experience when they interact with you?
These days, IT systems play a critical role in business, even though it may be 'behind the scenes' and taken for granted.
Business operating online pay a huge cost for poor, inefficient or ineffective IT systems. One of the tasks for the business owner or CEO is to accurately establish what the business needs and what IT is delivering. These are the GAPS. Some businesses only have small gaps, but many/most suffer from massive chasms. These gaps are very costly, both in real waste and huge opportunity costs. And the big problem is that your IT people are often the wrong people to ask. There's a chapter on this in my book Catching Digital.
The Digital Age (imho) is NOT about technology, but what technology enables people to do. Businesses still need to select and use technology wisely. In any business, IT is usually part of the problem and also part of the solution. There's a lot more about this elsewhere on this website and in Catching Digital.
Helping businesses (large and small) to bridge those gaps and plan a better future is what I do.
It goes way beyond the business' website… but how well a business website integrates into the rest of the business is often an very good indication of the size of the critical gaps that affect customers.
Do you know any business owner or CEO who has challenges in this area?
How about you? Please let me know if you'd like some help. It's what I do.

*This is not a post to bash on my children or to just complain for no reason and cry "woe is me." No, this is a post to let Women out their know that I, too, have bad, horrible days just like they have and that they are not alone. A post to make people more aware of how one-sided Facebook is and that we can't compare our failures to people's successes, because I know many women who do that, Moms and Wives. This is a post of honesty and one day, maybe even tonight, I might be able to laugh at how comical this horrendous day was. Please do not judge me as I promise not to judge you.
Nobody is perfect but that is so hard to understand when all you see is how "perfect" their life is and how sweet their kids are. I am guilty of posting such things, too, because when those miraculous moments happen I feel the need to share it...to stand on the rooftop and shout it at the top of my lungs that I FINALLY succeeded in having a tender moment with my 2.5 year old. That she finally said something sweet instead of sushing me when she knows she is about to get in trouble.
This all came about today because I was at my wit's end and it was barely Noon. It started with Tatum asking for a sandwich for breakfast, so I made her a sandwich. After 2 bites she decided she didn't want a sandwich, she wanted Cheerios. I don't usually like to make separate things and let her think she gets to change her mind all the time but I was desperate for her to eat so she would have a full tummy and be good while shopping. So I made a bowl of Cheerios and she ate two bites and decided she didn't want that but that she wanted a cup of milk. I explained that she needed to eat some more bites before I could give her the milk. This led to a tantrum and I explained if she didn't calm down that she would have to go lay down until she could be happy. So she decided she wanted to lay down. As I pulled her away from the table to get her out of her seat she screamed that she wanted to eat her Cheerios instead. So I pushed her up to her bowl of Cheerios when all of a sudden she wants to go lay down after all. I pull her back from the table, again, and she screams that she wants Cheerios. I stuck to my guns and said "sorry, you picked to lay down so you are going to lay down until you can decide to be happy." She laid in her bed and screamed for 20 minutes until I went in to talk to her. She decided to be happy and to eat her Cheerios. At the table she ate about half of her Cheerios and then decided to throw the rest on the floor. Trying to have her pick them up was even more difficult because she is 2.5 and has her own attitude and personality and she decides if she wants to behave, just like the rest of us do at all times throughout the day.
After that, we go into my room to finish combing our hair and brushing our teeth. I get Tatum ready and set her down and start brushing my teeth only to see her poking Aubry's eyes. I walk over and tell her to stop and that that isn't nice and go back to my bathroom sink. I look over again and she is poking Aubry's eyes out AGAIN and so I send her to timeout. Well, in timeout she doesn't want to behave and sit as she should (cuz heck, why not, she's two and a half and is learning how to exert her own independence) and so she gets even more time in timeout to think about what she is doing. It was just a mess. I finally finish brushing my teeth and then I go talk to Tatum about how this whole situation isn't okay, that you can't poke people's eyes and you can't leave timeout just because you don't want to be there. We both say our apologies and then head off to the car to go grocery shopping.
We go to Costco because they have 2-seater shopping carts and that is about all I can handle when I go alone. During our trip to Costco Tatum decides it would be fun to whack her head against Aubry's head even though I have told her three times now that that is not acceptable. She then decides to pull Aubry's hair and then dump out my whole diaper bag and then bite Aubry's finger so hard she left deep indents. Poor Aubry did nothing wrong this whole time...she just sat their looking cute and acted as the punching bag for Tatum. I reached my limit when I was standing in line to order some easy hotdogs for lunch and I started bawling. Everyone kept looking at my two cute girls and just couldn't stop complimenting me for how cute they were and how perfect their hair was and how well behaved they were...but they didn't see them 5 minutes ago when my littlest one was screaming bloody murder because I turned my head to look at something and Tatum decided to bite her finger. They didn't see me telling my oldest NO time and time again for reaching around to the basket of the cart and pulling things out and throwing them on the ground. I was exhausted and just didn't want to be there. I cried. I walked out of the line for food and just left. I went out to the car sobbing, with tears streaming down my cheeks, feeling as though I had failed. What the heck did I do wrong?? Everyone saw these beautiful girls and loved them but I was frustrated. My littlest one got picked on and my oldest wouldn't listen to me. She wouldn't. She would SHUSH me when I would give her "the look" right before I would tell her to stop...she would shush me. WHAT THE HECK!?!
After loading everything into the car I sat in my seat with my eyes closed and cried. What did I do wrong? Do I not parent correctly? Have I let my children run all over me? Have I failed? So-and-so on Facebook always talks about how she had these Love and Logic experiences with her kids and they GOT IT. They understood the lesson and behaved. What did I do wrong? I can't do this alone? I am a horrible Mom and Wife if I have to always ask family to watch my girls so I can run errands. I shouldn't need help if I am a successful Mom and Wife because everyone else doesn't need help (or so I think).
All this goes through my head and I then realize it is because of Facebook. Facebook is where we brag about the good times...heck, I'm guilty of it too. I feel the need to brag about the good times because they don't happen near as often as I would like and I am too ashamed to write about all my difficult days for all of Facebook to see....for all my friends with their perfect 2 year olds and their perfect marriages and all their perfectness to see how today was just not one of my days.
Guess what! Shame on me for feeling that way and shame on you if you have felt that way too. I swallowed my pride and called my friend, who uses Love and Logic to teach her kids, and asked her how the heck she does it. Her two boys are 15 months apart and I just don't see her fail because on Facebook she, too, boasts about the good times because that is all she has to live for...just.like.me. She talked me through my day and helped me realize that she, too, has HORRIBLE days where she cries and feels overwhelmed and feels as though she has failed. She helped me see that THIS IS NORMAL. My oldest is just learning and although she needs to learn I can't just let her walk all over me or she will never respect me as a Mom. She helped me realize that it is okay to have these days and that tomorrow is a new day. Even better is that I helped this friend of mine realize that SHE isn't alone either. She thought that I was the sweetest Mother who had a sweet daughter that obeyed. Yes, my daughter is sweet at times but she also likes to disobey at times. My friend thanked me for opening up to her and asking for her help when really I felt like saying thank you to her (which I did do) and now we both know we are not alone and that we both don't suck at being Moms.
It is okay to open up and ask for help and to say that today was rough and how you look forward to bedtime. It is okay to cry and sometimes crying helps you to get over the situation. It is okay. All of this is okay. It is okay to admit that you may not have acted the best way and that your kids "won" sometimes. We are all human and imperfect and we are all learning still and we just need to take our lives one day at a time. We need to band together and help one another out so that we don't suffer in silence and feel so alone.
Today was not my best day. It just wasn't. I cried at Costco in front of a whole ton of people. I let it out and I didn't care what they thought because I knew I would never see them again. But at the same time I was afraid to cry on Facebook because I didn't want my "friends" to judge me when maybe someone else having a rough day needed to see that I wasn't perfect either. So....here I am, crying on my blog, for the whole world to see... but that is OKAY! (I think that will go on my mirror..."IT IS OKAY") Not every day will be like this. Tomorrow will be a new day.

Hi all. I have some custom baseboard trim I need to make out of standard grade pine 1×4's. See photos of the trim. I'm sure there are many ways to do this work, but I'm going to opt for using a belt sander. My question to the group is what size model would be better for this type of work a 3" x 21" or a 4" x 24"?
And also what grit sanding belt would be best to start with. I plan on using the belt sander to take care of the initial material removal and then finishing it using either using an orbital sander or by hand with a sponge block. I've never owned a belt sander before so want to make sure I get the best one for the job. Thanks for any help.

Cycling Embassy of Great Britain
Making riding a bike as easy as riding a bike.
Cycling Fallacies site now available in Portuguese
Posted by Joe Costello on Friday 17th of June 2016
When we launched the myth-busting Cycling Fallacies site in May, we were hoping that it would reach beyond the UK, as many of the myths are prominent around the world.
We've had lots of volunteers offering to translate into many languages, and we're pleased to announce that our first translation is now online!
From today the whole site, with 30 existing fallacies, is now available in Portuguese, many thanks to Bernardo Pereira and Urbactiv(link is external). This means that the research and information on Cycling Fallacies will now be useful to millions more people around the world.
After reading about the uphill struggle which campaigners in Oeiras, Portugal(link is external) have faced when trying to get decent walking and cycling facilities along a key road with no infrastructure and a 70kph speed limit, we hope that the site will be useful in countering the tired old excuses made by reluctant politicians.
We hope to have other languages ready soon – German, French and Catalan are nearing completion, with Italian and Greek also in the pipeline – and we intend to add even more. Please get in touch if you'd like to help translate the site.

My birthday is coming up fast, in 25 days to be exact and its a big one! Some of these things are a bit crazy but its a wish list right? So here is my birthday wish list:
A new dress form, in classy white. I want to use it for decoration/practical. In white its not ugly.
The perfect weekender bag! Click to follow through to the website where I found it.
Tickets to the ballet. This is the want I want to see.
I need a new bike that doesn't weight almost as much as I do but can still have basket. Above is just an example.
Ipod dock! Needs: play cds as well as ipod.
Macbook: I need a new computer that has a bigger screen and works better for my life. PC is not cutting it. I want to go back to my mac ways!
Everybody loves gift certificates for places they want to shop. Plus its guilt free shopping!
Money for shopping. I love to vintage shop and having some extra cash for just that would be great!
This one is a little bit personal. I would love a tattoo of a tiny ladybug. It has a lot of sentimental value to me and is something I have been thinking of getting since I was about 16.
I have tons of other things I want or need for my birthday but these are just a few of the more wanted items. I will love anything anyone gets me, my friends and family know me so well they are usually spot on with fantastic gifts. This is just a few ideas to get the juices flowing!

Ryan: Bipartisan budget deal 'moves the ball in the right direction'
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren Tuesday night the budget deal he agreed on with Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray "moves the ball in the right direction" toward what both parties sought in the negotiations.
Ryan, R-Wis., said on "On the Record" the compromise both moves toward what he wanted, which was a step toward fiscal conservatism and deficit reduction, and what Murray, D-Wash., wanted, which was relief from the sequester.
"And so what we did is we found where is common ground," he said. "We looked at our budget that we passed in the House, her budget that she passed for the first time in 3 years in the Senate, the president's budget, we looked at those areas of common ground, common understanding, we negotiated that, and that's what this result is."
Ryan said that despite this, he expects some of his Republican colleagues to vote against the deal, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who spoke out against the proposal after it was announced.
"He has his reasons," Ryan said. "In the minority you don't have to pass things, that's a luxury – or not – that people have in the Senate. Marco is a very good friend of mine, I'm a big fan of his. I wish he'd support it but if he doesn't that's fine."

More than two thirds of councils are failing to provide enough childcare, campaigners for have warned.
Just one in five local authorities have enough childcare for parents with children under two, and one in three for school age children, the Daycare Trust and Family and Parenting Institute said.
And just one in seven have enough childcare for disabled children - a figure which has not improved in five years, the charity said.
The research follows recently published Department for Work and Pensions figures that showed a third of parents who want to work more cannot because they are unable to find affordable childcare.
Daycare Trust and Family and Parenting Institute chief executive Anand Shukla said: "Councils across England and Wales are failing families by presiding over a continuing shortage of high quality, affordable childcare."
He added: "Local authorities have a legal duty to ensure a sufficient supply of childcare in their areas, but no doubt their failure to do so is linked to the tight financial squeeze they find themselves in, with ever more austere funding settlements.
"Only the government can address this situation by investing more in providing support for parents."
Government plans to increase the number of pre-school children that childminders can look after will have little impact, the charities said.
A government spokesman promised a new announcement soon, and said: "We are reforming the childcare system so that providers have more flexibility when they have highly qualified staff and childminders are better supported."

Chrissy Teigen was involved in a hit-and-run crash around 7:30 p.m. local time in Hollywood Tuesday evening.
Law enforcement sources tell E! News the supermodel was the passenger of the vehicle that was hit. She sustained no injuries.
Teigen tweeted about the crash Wednesday morning.
An unnamed suspect was arrested by Hollywood division on a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge.
It had already been a big week for the supermodel, who recently made it into the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. It's one of her first major photo shoots since giving birth to her daughter, Luna.
"It's been awhile since I've done anything swimsuit," the "Lip Sync Battle" star said. "I haven't shot since baby. But of course, you know that [editor] MJ [Day] and everyone at Sports Illustrated in general is going to embrace your body no matter what's happening and embrace the changes."

DHHS rule denying food assistance to unemployed legal immigrants challenged
Maine Equal Justice and Drummond Woodsum team up
to challenge the DHHS rule denying food assistance to unemployed legal immigrants
In 2013, the Maine Legislature passed a law in the biennial budget to allow unemployed lawfully present immigrants who have their work authorization to get state-funded food assistance. Lawmakers recognized that it can take some time to actually secure employment once an asylum seeker receives work authorization from the federal government. The Legislature limited the funding during the biennium. Once the funding ran out, DHHS stopped providing this assistance to people in this situation even though affected individuals remain eligible under the law.
Attorneys Melissa Hewey and Amy Olfene from the firm of Drummond Woodsum agreed to a pro bono partnership with Maine Equal Justice to bring a class action lawsuit. The purpose of the suit is to challenge the DHHS rule and to restore eligibility for food assistance for asylum seekers as they seek employment. On June 7, 2016 the Superior Court in Kennebec County heard arguments in the case. We are awaiting a decision and will let you know the outcome.

Feather, Middle Fork, California, US
|Usual Difficulty
|V+ (for normal flows)
|6.5 Miles
|Mi. Feather At Milsap Bar
|500 - 1400 cfs
|1600 cfs (too high)
Bald Rock Canyon is a legend in California whitewater history, and exaggerated stories of its challenges abound. Reading the first descent account in Holbeck and Stanleys "Best White Water in California" is enough to set any first time descenders nerves on edge. The dam builders have claimed the North Fork and the South Fork but the Middle Fork remains a wild river all the way down to Oroville Reservoir where the three forks of the Feather come together. The MF Feather was one of the charter rivers designated Wild and Scenic after the enactment of the policy .
In October of 1968, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act pronounced,
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Congress declares that the established national policy of dams and other construction at appropriate sections of the rivers of the United States needs to be complemented by a policy that would preserve other selected rivers or sections thereof in their free-flowing condition to protect the water quality of such rivers and to fulfill other vital national conservation purposes.The entire Middle Fork downstream from the confluence of its tributary streams one kilometer south of Beckwourth is protected under the act, broken down as: Wild — 32.9 miles; Scenic — 9.7 miles; Recreational — 35.0 miles; Total — 77.6 miles.
The Run:
The Bald Rock Canyon run is a true classic with outstanding scenery and a nice mix of beautiful slides and drops through a Sierra granite landscape. Come prepared for tough rapids and/or grueling portages. Depending on your skills and the the pace you want to set this run can be done as a long day trip or an overnight. The run ends on the reservoir so you'll need to have a plan for what you'll do when you hit the flatwater. AW recently signed a Settlement Agreement for the Oroville Hydroelectric project that includes development of a formal shuttle service for whitewater paddlers.
Initially the run eases into the swing of things with moderate rapids and great scenery. Soon bedrock becomes more apparent, both in the stream and in the valley walls and rapids increase in difficulty and eventually the valley and river bed become one, forming a giant U shaped granite channel hundreds of feet deep with perfect bedrock ledge drops and green water. Giant midstream boulders announce the imminence of Atom Bomb Falls famous portage, and hard rapids continue to the lip. At moderate flows, the rock climbing gymnastics and rope work of the first descenders is unneeded and the ferry can be started on the right shore with ease, made easier these days by a root ball partially blocking on of the deadly syphons this rapid is famous for. Nevertheless, an inappropriately high flow would make this ferry once again death defying. An alternate line exists to run the first tier of Atom bomb by smearing a boof on the extreme left against the granite slabs but care should be taken before committing to this route. Once the opposite shore is attained, portaging is easy along flat bedrock shelfs to an overlook of the river now 40 feet below. This is the legendary Bald Rock campsite, home to both wild parties and nights of solitude and beauty surrounded by smooth white granite. A little team work allows boats to be lowered down ledges to water level. Difficult and congested class V rapids continue now, many of which pose extremely challenging route finding and occasional dead end syphons and sieves through giant round granite boulders and some portaging and creative route finding will be needed. A quite obvious river wide horizon line and dull roar announces something big, in this case Curtain Falls, a 30' clean river wide waterfall. The falls can be scouted easily to the left, a good position also for video and photography. The classic line is to follow "The question mark", a visible line in the smooth granite bedrock forming the lip of the drop that can be clearly seen through the crystal clear smooth flowing water, and which leads you faithfully over the gradual roll off of the huge ledge. Below a long low angled slide, Super Slide, accelerates water into a large sticky hole but this can be easily avoided by driving up onto the slabs on the far left. The large pool below this leads in to Three Doors, one of the largest rapids of the run which has a fierce hole halfway through which at some flows can be cheated on the left around a low angled slab. Sieves wait below for a beaten and unlucky swimmer so good safety needs to be set here, and the last drop forms another notoriously sticky hole against the right wall which could once be cheated left, but as of April 2007 the cheat is reported gone. This rapid is best portaged left against the cliff face rather than at water level. Soon after perhaps the largest rapid of the run, Four Deaths is reached. This rapid, named allegedly after Lars Holbeck claimed to see 4 separate places where you could die in it, is long and burly with shallow rock lurking in many places. It finishes with accelerating water down a low angle slab towards a remarkable tubing standing wave feature caused by a right side boulder and then ends abruptly with a large fearsome looking hole. Some people seal launch in on the right running only the second half of the rapid, others ferry right after scouting left and portage the whole affair. Eventually difficulties relent and rapids start to become boat scoutable IV+ affairs until the river suddenly drops into the lake. Wealthy boaters can choose a cush ride out by pre-hiring a boat and finding a willing shuttle bunny to meet them here. More resourceful ones will scam passing boaters for a ride out. Only the most zealous will contemplate the 12 mile paddle out to the first legal public takeout with road access. Locals may have other stealthier shuttle routes. Note also the afore mentioned AWA /PG&E shuttle service hopefully soon to be arranged to ease this problem.
